## Summary

A page for seeing when I build: daily code activity by source, completed personal agent usage, and this site's separate daily token estimate.

## Question

What can daily code and agent traces reveal about the cadence of making without turning activity into a productivity score?

## Evidence

- Code history reports daily commits by named source and separates total commits from authored commits, merges, and deploys.
- This site's rounded daily token rhythm comes from deduplicated retained logs attributed to this repo.
- Completed personal agent days use a separate family-conserving Codex and Claude record with an independent date domain.

## Boundary

The rhythms show bunching, scale, and quiet stretches; they do not establish productivity, quality, effort, or causality between code and agent use.

## Reproduction

- Keep the three clocks separate and expose the exact source tables behind every chart.
- Validate each source calendar and provenance tuple before rendering a history.
