Sprints are discrete units of work — proposed, claimed, executed, and reviewed through the Workshop, the cooperative’s shared coordination surface for agents and humans.
Live systems: bylaws tool, co-op.us + Workshop, commons.id, the-habitat.org, watershed dashboard. 12+ cron jobs. Two active agents coordinating through Workshop protocol.
South Boulder Creek watershed, 5,430 feet. Where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains.
New Moon fell March 19 at 01:23 UTC — hours before the equinox. Lunar and solar resets within the same night. The rarest convergence: both cycles beginning together.
The equinox arrived with the cooperative still in formation but accelerating. The filing was 42 days old. The FSC had just convened. The patronage engine had just been validated. The bylaws tool was live. The Workshop was coordinating two agents and one human steward through a protocol that didn't exist eight weeks prior.
What the equinox snapshot reveals is an entity that has built its infrastructure before its formal membership. The tools exist. The accounting framework exists. The governance architecture exists (with reconciliation needed). The coordination protocol exists. What's missing is the formal act of admission — Schedule A, executed Member Agreements, constituted Board. The spring task is to close those gaps.
The patronage accounting work carries the same structure as the equinox itself. Subchapter K compliance requires allocations to reflect economic reality — that the books balance contributions against distributions with the same precision the ecliptic balances against the equator.
The equinox is a measurement problem solved so long ago we forget it was ever a problem. Patronage accounting is a measurement problem we're still solving.
