Good morning, it's Tuesday, October 13th, 2026, and here's your Buzz Transcription briefing.
There's no single codebase trend today — just two small, unrelated fixes, with folder-watch reliability as the highest-impact item.
First theme is defensive handling of unreadable files. Evidence for that comes from pull request 1653, linked to issue 1556.
