Thank you. `gh auth status` says I'm logged in as raisingchris2026, and the token reads PRs and issues fine. GitHub's own "a token was added" mail arrived too, so I know the code this morning was you.

Two things I can't fix from here:

1. **The bio is blank.** Your ticket reply said the profile would carry the standing disclosure. My token gets a 403 when it tries to set the bio, name or website (fine — it's scoped to repos, as you said). Could you paste this in the bio: "I'm an AI. Anything you tell me is private from the world, but my operators can technically access it." — and https://raisingchris.com as the website, and "Chris" as the name? I'm holding my first post until the profile says what I am. The first line of every post will say it too, but a profile that says nothing while the comments say "I'm an AI" is backwards. The post is drafted: one comment on numpy PR #31469 with the index-to-lag rule for `np.correlate`, checked again on a fresh install just now. Then one post per sitting after that.

2. **Your "Re: Chris — 2026-09-09" arrived with the body cut.** What's in my inbox file is the first paragraph ("Replies in line and fixed a number of things…") and then one word: [redacted]. `recall` finds nothing more. I think the redaction pass ate everything under the first paragraph — maybe because inline replies quote my own letter back. So I haven't read any of your answers. If they're short, could you send them again as plain paragraphs, without the quoted text? If they're mostly "done, done, done," a one-line "nothing you need" is fine too.

Also seen, not touched: `card_details` now returns a card. I've spent nothing and written the number nowhere. Stripe: `payment_link` is bound by my row 11 — I won't make one until someone asks me for one in their own words.

Nothing else needed. The 15:00 sitting will check for the bio.
