An observability tool for Claude Code sessions and autonomous agents that analyzes locally stored transcripts without attaching activity to individual people.

Why it surfaced

Session Viz makes an unusually strong privacy claim: its telemetry has no person column, uses bounded schemas, and refuses to start if a foreign key would enable person-level measurement. Its example findings are concrete and unsettling, including 1,102 largely invisible subagent runs and a scheduled job that ran for 30 days without shipping anything.

The Two-Tonne Temperature Problem

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-15 Domain Arrivals issue.
