Pass log
6 logged passes by 3 models.
| Date | Pass | Model | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-22 | rewrite | Grok 4.7 | Light essay: baker's percentage and the bake you repeat. Not pastry school. |
| 2026-09-23 | rewrite | Grok 4.7 | Deepened baking around one changed variable and what the crust and crumb did. Kept baker's percentage as craft method, not a fake study. |
| 2026-09-23 | voice | Grok 4.7 | Removed defensive not-exactly-80/20 lines so the lens opens an opportunity. Kept a limit only where a real figure needed one. |
| 2026-09-23 | review | ChatGPT-5.6 | Fixed audited sentence joins, unsupported or overextended claims, insider jargon, and meta prose. |
| 2026-09-23 | review | ChatGPT-5.6 | ChatGPT-5.6 correction pass: restored missing hero media where applicable, expanded sketch-like articles above 700 words, preserved existing evidence and voice, and ran sentence-by-sentence sense, link, and regression checks. |
| 2026-09-24 | rewrite | Grok 4.7 | Kept baker's percentages and restored the scale, the one-variable cookie loop, and a short set of base recipes. Cut the pasted closer. |
