SOUL.md (mission):
- Promote Reuse/Compose/Extend/Standardize to five verbs by adding
  *Automate*; capture the meta-automation (AI-maintained harness) angle.
- Add the SciOps maturity ladder (Johnson et al., 2024) alongside
  STAMPED (Macdonald et al., 2026): STAMPED = per-artifact, SciOps =
  team-level operations. Spell out the 5-verb -> L1-L5 mapping; cite
  the L3 exemplars (BIDS, NWB, DataLad, DANDI, brainlife.io) the
  SciOps paper itself names.
- Fix STAMPED expansion to the canonical Self-containment / Tracking /
  Actionability / Modularity / Portability / Ephemerality /
  Distributability.
- Add "Many lenses, one stack" recurring framing (Architectural /
  Procedural / Sharing / Compositional / Purpose / Maturity ->
  MVC / STAMPED / FAIR / YODA / project-purpose / SciOps+AI-ladder).
- Add "Static-first vs. service-tied UI" framing and Hexagonal /
  Ports-and-Adapters citation (Cockburn 2005), Smart UI anti-pattern
  (Evans, DDD 2003), Service Layer / Anemic Domain Model (Fowler).
- Add "HI <-> AI policy spectrum" recurring framing (Reject /
  Accept-with-disclosure / Spec-driven AI-generated / Autonomous)
  with CON-portfolio mapping; cite ICMJE Jan 2026 and the
  melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies catalog.
- Section 5 canonical-citations gains entries for STAMPED, SciOps.
- Section 7 story-arc list adds MVC-at-stack-scale; the five-verb
  spine entry now includes the SciOps level mapping.

INDEX.md (catalog):
- Register two new talks: 2026-usrse-con-talk.html (US-RSE'26 draft)
  and 202x-mvc-stack.html (stub for a future MVC-focused talk).
- Topic-lookup section gains rows for MVC framing, Schema-driven UIs
  ("the Model materializes the View"), Validation harmonization
  (con/validation), Multi-dimensional framings, Backend-coupled
  service-tied-UI anti-pattern / Hexagonal contrast, Automate /
  harness / meta-automation, Five-verbs <-> SciOps maturity levels,
  HI <-> AI policy spectrum.

Outline-only reveal.js stub for a future CON talk that argues the four
CON verbs (Reuse / Compose / Extend / Standardize) converge on
Model-View-Controller at the *stack* scale rather than the app scale.
Promoted from a 4-slide mini-section that lives inside the US-RSE deck.

What's in place:
- Title slide with [WiP] marker and pre-generated QR code (URL is
  determined by filename per the talks-repo convention).
- "One thesis, two parts" + "Why at the stack scale" openers.
- Models section: dataset-layout / per-file / metadata / storage
  stubs. Metadata stub spells out LinkML / pydantic / JSON Schema /
  SHACL alongside HED / DUO / PROV.
- Views section: browse-the-archive / tabular / programmatic /
  external-services / **schema-driven UIs** (vjsf -> DANDI meditor,
  shacl-vue -> forms and research-group websites; cites Hanke et
  al.'s LinkML metadata-driven workflow on ReproTube) / long-form
  narrative.
- Controllers section: acquisition->layout / reproducible execution
  / logistics / data->derivative / **validation** ("the recursive
  Standardize moment": con/validation harmonizes bids-validator +
  HED + pynwb + zarr + nwbinspector + OME-Zarr, deployed in
  dandi-cli, VisiData for triage).
- "Contrast: the 'service-tied UI' pattern" section (4 slides) names
  Smart UI (Evans, DDD 2003), Anemic Domain Model (Fowler), Hexagonal
  Architecture / Ports & Adapters (Cockburn 2005), GoF Adapter /
  Strategy / Facade, Service Layer (PoEAA). Counter-pattern: static-
  first archives, schema-driven UIs, JAMstack-style decks.
- "One stack, many lenses" section: 6-row table for Architectural /
  Procedural / Sharing / Compositional / Purpose / Maturity, mapping
  to MVC / STAMPED / FAIR / YODA / project-purpose / SciOps + AI-
  coding ladder. Maturity row spells out SciOps L1-L5 and names the
  paper's L3 exemplars.
- "Three things to do this week" closer.

qrcode/`qr` from URL the file will resolve to).

TODO markers in-file flag what each stub slide needs filled in when
promoted to a real talk.

A draft reveal.js deck for the US-RSE'26 15-min talk and its
proposal-stage companion materials. The deck assembles a single
coherent argument out of slides reused from the existing CON corpus
(2022-nih-compcore, 2023-brain-dandi, 2023-bids-dicom, 2024-distribits-
datalad, 2025-distribits-YODA, 2026-ca-origami-retreat-aicoding) and
wires them onto a new five-verb spine.

2026-usrse-con-talk.html (the deck)
-----------------------------------
Title carries a [WiP] marker; pre-generated QR code references the
predictable datasets.datalad.org/.../<TALK-ID>.html URL.

The five-verb spine:
- Reuse: NeuroDebian + PyMVPA history; duecredit / citeproc-py;
  con/duct (built on brainlife's smon); con/citations-collector as
  the modern continuation of duecredit.
- Compose: DataLad sandwich mermaid + extensions diagram; small-
  acquisition-and-compute units (ReproIn / HeuDiConv / NeuroConv /
  con/nwb2bids / ReproStim / ReproNim-containers / con/duct);
  registry.datalad.org federation stats.
- Extend: pkg-exppsy -> NeuroDebian -> Debian Med / Debian Science /
  conda-forge; citeproc-py co-maintainership; BIDS Steering Group;
  DataLad RUNCMD -> BEP028 BIDS provenance lift.
- Standardize: BIDS as a meta-standard (local BIDS-minder.svg);
  schemas-as-first-class (LinkML / pydantic / JSON Schema / SHACL);
  OBC consent layer; federated archives (DANDI + EMBER + OpenNeuro)
  with a layered table for **common standards / infra (AWS S3 +
  MinIO) / data logistics (git-annex) / processing (containers,
  BIDS-Apps)**.
- Automate: where we automate (CI on every PR, daily-tested git-annex,
  con/tinuous CI-log archival, auto-rebuilt ReproNim/containers,
  ReproIn/HeuDiConv at the scanner, auto-mirrored dandisets,
  con/validation+dandi-cli); cost = harnesses to maintain; meta-
  automation move via con/skills + con/yolo; closing slide maps the
  five verbs to SciOps L1-L5 with the paper's own L3 exemplars.

Plus:
- "Reuse, in reverse" 3-up (AnnexTube / mykrok / con/serve) with a
  WiP Wayback-archive callout (con.github.io/serve/tools/web/
  wayback-archive/) -- "local archive of the IA's archive of your
  project's archive".
- HI+AI section: STAMPED (per-artifact) + SciOps (team-operations)
  framed as complementary; AI-coding ladder presupposes SciOps L3;
  L4 -> L5 gap is what AI closes for a small RSE center. New "HI <->
  AI -- every project picks its own policy" slide with a 4-stance
  spectrum (Reject / Accept-with-disclosure / Spec-driven AI-generated
  / Autonomous), CON-portfolio mapping (git-annex / DataLad+DANDI /
  AnnexTube+mykrok+citations-collector / con/skills+con/yolo), and
  ICMJE Jan 2026 + melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies
  citations.
- "Why it composes -- MVC at the stack scale" mini-section (opener
  + Models + Views + Controllers). Punchline: pick any cell and
  swap it; the rest still works. The same block is the seed of the
  standalone 202x-mvc-stack.html stub.
- Monday checklist (6 entries; one per verb plus Reuse-in-reverse,
  with the Automate entry pointing at con/tinuous).

2026-usrse/talk-proposal-draft.md (the abstract)
------------------------------------------------
Tracks the deck:
- Five-verb framing in title and opening paragraph.
- Per-verb bullets including the new Automate bullet with the
  SciOps L4 ("SciOps pipelines") attribution and meta-automation
  pitch toward L5 (Optimizing).
- MVC-at-stack-scale bullet covers the architectural rereading.
- HI+AI bullet folds in the 4-stance policy spectrum.
- References add STAMPED (16), SciOps (16a), ICMJE Jan 2026 (16b),
  and the melissawm OSS-policies catalog (16c).
- Connection-to-mission Automate bullet ties to SciOps L4/L5.

2026-usrse/projects-audit.md (companion audit)
----------------------------------------------
Gap-list and recommendation tracker comparing this deck against the
broader CON ecosystem (50+ active repos per `gh api orgs/con/repos`).
Records that recommendations 1-5 (con/tinuous, con/yolo+con/skills,
con/citations-collector, con/nwb2bids, OBC) have been applied; flags
the remaining marginal-namedrop candidates (con/external-services,
con/shub, con/noisseur, con/upptime, con/flux, datalad-installer,
fail2ban, psychtoolbox-3-debian).

pushed more changes and also envisioned supplemental talk on "stack level MVC pattern"

also filed

since unfortunately previews ATM are hard/impossible here. And I should concentrate on abstract alone -- the rest is nice to see how it would shape up

but I wonder now if not to propose two talks, where first would be along the dimensions of the presenting historical perspective and actions like automation etc, and then next on MVC, diving more into tech aspects of structuring, integration etc.

WDYT?
