 ### This Week's Priorities
 
-1. 🔴 **Dashboard Pain Points** — Antoine to document what's broken/missing
-2. 🔴 **QUICK_REF.md** — Mario drafting simplified protocol reference
-3. 🔴 **CONTEXT.md** — Mario drafting session initialization (like Clawdbot's AGENTS.md)
-4. 🟡 **LAC → Git Protocol** — Ensure learnings are committed after sessions
+**Now (Sprint 1.5): Draft + Publish (S2)**
+1. 🔴 Implement DraftManager (local autosave draft per study)
+2. 🔴 Add Draft vs Published banner + Publish button
+3. 🔴 Restore/discard draft prompt on load
+
+**Next (Sprint 2): Create Wizard v1 shell**
+4. 🟡 /create route + stepper
+5. 🟡 Files step (dependency tree + _i.prt warnings)
+6. 🟡 Introspection step (expressions + DV selection)
+
+### Completed recently
+- Spec/Canvas wiring sync foundation (converters, connect/delete wiring, output picker, panel rewiring, edge projection)
 
 ### Blocked
-
-- Phase 2 (Dashboard) waiting on pain point documentation
+- None (but local npm install on this server fails due to peer deps; run builds/tests on Windows dev env)

+# Status Now — Atomizer Dashboard Stabilization
+
+_Last updated: 2026-01-29 (Mario)_
+
+## Sprint 1 (Foundation): Spec/Canvas Sync + Wiring
+
+### Completed ✅
+- **Spec→Canvas converter restored** (`frontend/src/lib/spec.ts`)
+- **Fixed .gitignore** so `frontend/src/lib/` is no longer ignored
+- **Edge connect updates runnable truth**: Extractor→Objective/Constraint updates `*.source`
+- **Edge delete clears runnable wiring** using `__UNSET__` placeholders
+- **Multi-output extractor connect prompt** (modal to choose `output_name`)
+- **Objective/Constraint panel rewiring UI** (choose extractor + output from dropdowns)
+- **Edge projection sync**: canvas wiring edges auto-follow `objective.source` / `constraint.source`
+
+### In progress 🔄
+- None (foundation block is effectively done)
+
+## Next up (Sprint 1.5): Draft + Publish (S2)
+
+### Planned
+- DraftManager (localStorage draft per study)
+- Banner: Draft vs Published + Publish button
+- Restore/discard draft prompt on load
+- Conflict banner if server spec changes while draft exists
+
+## After that (Sprint 2): Create Wizard v1
+
+- /create route + stepper
+- Files step + dependency tree + `_i.prt` warnings
+- Introspection step + DV selection
+- Validate + Publish
+
+## Notes / Current blocker
+- Frontend `npm install` currently fails on this machine due to peer dependency conflict (`@react-three/drei` expecting React 19).
+  - Implementation can continue, but testing/build should be run on Antoine’s dev environment (or adjust dependency versions).
