==== 2026-07-11 ====
* Discussion with Corey White on trying to build docs with Zensical, and dropping Sphinx for [https://zensical.org/docs/setup/extensions/mkdocstrings/ mkdocstrings]
* Discussion with Vaclav Petras on Windows builds and Fable:
** The nsis installer had a change to do (as debugged last year by me in [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/5663 #5663]), but we don't know how to do it well. We suggested to let Anthropic's Fable try to do it before it stopped being included in the Claude subscription.
** For us to try out the fixed nsis installer script, Fable should be able to create the installer in CI. It is being tried in [https://github.com/echoix/grass/pull/664 echoix#664]/[https://github.com/wenzeslaus/grass/pull/12 wenzeslaus#12]
** Also suggested to use Fable to attempt to solve issues in a pending Sphinx PR that we were stuck for too long, (Stcuk PR: [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7526 #7526], result: [https://github.com/wenzeslaus/grass/pull/11 wenzeslaus#11])
==== 2026-07-12 ====
* Got PRs merged: [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7660 #7660], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7659 #7659],
* Created follow-up PR for sscanf: [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7673 #7673]
* Discussed with Stefan Blumentrath:
** temporal init, choice of his PR or another contributor
** Discussed AI findings on various files accumulated in the last weeks: most are valid and should be filed.
* Reviewed PRs: [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-addons/pull/641 grass-addons#641], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7635 #7635], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7671 #7671], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7669 #7669]
* Video call on FHS
* First review of Fable windows installer in CI on [https://github.com/echoix/grass/pull/664 echoix#664]

==== 2026-07-13 ====
* Reviewed PRs: [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7663 #7663], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/635 grass-website#635], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7337 #7337], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7672 #7672], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7684 #7684], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7687 #7687]
* Worked on the last sscanf CodeQL alert, for [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7673 #7673]
* Tested out windows standalone installer built in CI [https://github.com/echoix/grass/pull/664 echoix#664]. Almost works, as it installs, but it doesn't start because of a path error. Wrote some notes about windows compilation in CI in relation to addons in Vashek's google doc.
* Wrote notes on the windows build script having two versions, where OSGeo4W uses a different one than the one we use in CI for our tests, and they diverged
* Submitted PR of AI findings for tests of g.md2man [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7679 #7679]
* Configured CI required checks to not wait for successful checks during the code sprint, with the new rights given to me. Discussed with Vashek on what approach we'd want for the 4 ubuntu job configurations.
** Commented on an issue closed today [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/1313 #1313] about cppcheck: cppcheck could be useful to cover a bit more configuration combinations, but as discussed, only being to compile would only get us so far without testing.
* Discussion with Vashek on AI policy and approach to use with AI, low-quality contributors; Approach on renovate updates; Wishes on release cadence
* Multiple reviews and pair brainstorming on grass-website with Corey White, including [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/635 grass-website#635], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/637 grass-website#637], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/639 grass-website#639], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/634 grass-website#634], [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/640 grass-website#640]
* Worked on CMake formatting, moving forward the PR a contributor opened for Gersemi, PR [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7663 #7663], discussed weird finding with Vashek, lead to issue [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/7686 #7686]. To be continued the next day.
* Opened PR [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7685 #7685] (merged), [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7683 #7683] (needs more work/investigation), [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/7680 #7680] (merged)
* Opened issue to add zizmor to grass-website tools used to check, either local or CI [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/636 grass-website#636]
