Chronological record of actions in this focused sub-vault. Append-only. Format:
## [YYYY-MM-DD] action | subject.
[2026-05-13] create | monitor initialized
- Created focused LLM Wiki sub-vault for East Bay Catholic church/site property-sale monitoring.
- Created diocese-of-oakland, property-sale-signals, and east-bay-catholic-property-sales-monitor.
- Captured baseline raw source note baseline-oakland-diocese-closures-2026-05-13.
- Baseline status: 13 sites announced for closure; sale/disposition explicitly contemplated, with St. Paschal Baylon reported by Oaklandside/BishopAccountability as facing sale; no public asking prices identified yet.
[2026-05-13] update | all Oakland Catholic church dossiers and price screens
- Expanded the watch to all identified Catholic Diocese of Oakland parish/church/pastoral-center sites in Oakland, using the official parish directory, MAP closure list, and Oakland Parcels API.
- Created 19 Oakland site dossiers under entities, plus valuation-methodology and oakland-catholic-church-price-screen-2026-05-13.
- Captured raw methodology and parcel records in oakland-catholic-church-dossier-expansion-2026-05-13.
- Updated east-bay-catholic-property-sales-monitor, SCHEMA.md, and index.md; content-page count moved 3 → 24.
- Price posture: all dollar ranges are
agent estimatescreens, not asking prices. No public listing, confirmed buyer, or sale price found in this expansion pass; saint-paschal-baylon-oakland remains the strongest sale-probability watch item.
[2026-05-13] ingest | nightly red court-docket sale/collateralization signal
- Alert level: Red — Verita docket #2867 Plan Supplement, Exhibit G names Oakland closure sites as potential whole-parish-site disposition/collateralization candidates; no public asking price, sale price, broker listing, buyer, or sale approval found.
- Verdict: the story moved from closure/speculation into primary court-docket site identification; sale versus collateralization remains unresolved.
- Created nightly-east-bay-catholic-property-monitor-2026-05-13.md.
- Updated east-bay-catholic-property-sales-monitor.md, diocese-of-oakland.md, property-sale-signals.md, oakland-catholic-church-price-screen-2026-05-13.md, and SCHEMA.md.
- Updated Oakland dossiers: cathedral-parish-of-christ-the-light, mary-help-of-christians-oakland, our-lady-of-lourdes-oakland, sacred-heart-oakland, saint-andrew-kim-korean-pastoral-center-oakland, saint-augustine-oakland, saint-leo-the-great-oakland, saint-paschal-baylon-oakland, and saint-patrick-oakland.
[2026-05-13] alert | nightly red docket signal
- Captured raw nightly source note nightly-east-bay-catholic-property-monitor-2026-05-13.
- Alert level: Red. Verita docket #2867 / Exhibit G is recorded as a primary court-docket signal for potential disposition/collateralization of named Oakland closure sites.
- Updated east-bay-catholic-property-sales-monitor, diocese-of-oakland, oakland-catholic-church-price-screen-2026-05-13, and the affected Oakland dossiers.
- Price posture remains disciplined: no public asking price, confirmed buyer, broker listing, or sale price; affected ranges remain
agent estimatescreens.
[2026-05-14] update | visual coverage and price-bubble map
- Added generated visual blocks to every Markdown page in the Oakland church sub-vault: dossier cards for site pages, shared price-bubble map, rank chart, method diagrams, schema diagram, and raw-note visual wrappers.
- Added oakland-catholic-church-price-screen-2026-05-13 map/rank visuals with bubbles scaled by midpoint of the current core
agent estimate; no visual is an asking price, appraisal, or sale confirmation. - Generated durable local SVG assets under the sub-vault asset tree and cached OpenStreetMap/Nominatim coordinates for the 19 Oakland site dossiers.
[2026-05-14] update | section landing pages with visuals
- Added visual section landing pages for entities, concepts, comparisons, queries, raw evidence, and raw articles so folder routes are no longer blank auto-indexes.
- Updated index.md to distinguish 24 curated content pages from 36 authored Markdown pages.
[2026-05-14] update | real basemap price-bubble map
- Replaced the schematic Oakland price map with a real OpenStreetMap/CARTO tile-backed PNG and an embedded Leaflet interactive map on every Oakland project page.
- The map still uses the current dossier
agent estimatemidpoint for bubble area; it remains a navigational screen, not an appraisal or asking-price claim.
