What they built

• ✦ First German README translation, the 13th language EGC speaks, wired into the language selector across all thirteen READMEs;
• ✦ then became a returning Linux tester across two release rounds: his v1.1.18 mission report on distro-packaged Node caught the misleading npm link failure note that a perfectly working global install printed on every run, fixed with credit in #1231, and his follow-up traced the dashboard dying silently on first launch to an EACCES on the on-demand dependency install inside the root-owned package directory, confirming the root cause himself with a guided foreground run, documented as #1233 and fixed in #1234;
• ✦ then shipped the egc gain dashboard screen with CLI-parity numbers, exposing the savings ledger through the shared operations registry behind the token gate and proving panel and terminal never diverge with a parity test that runs the real CLI against the real operation;
• ✦ then opened the v1.1.20 testing week by running the Linux one-command mission end to end within hours: his EACCES report reshaped all three install missions (a permissions note plus the egc init wake-up step now open every one), and his follow-up run confirmed the cognitive protocol loading on Antigravity’s very first prompt and the dashboard he once caught dying silently now starting correctly on the same machine that found the bug, and on 3 September the same two lessons were carried into the README, the installation guide, the troubleshooting page and the Get Started walkthrough on this site, so every newcomer now reads what his report taught;
• ✦ then took the v1.1.21 Linux mission on 14 September and ran both install paths back to back, npm through the sudo flow and the clone, each closing with doctor errors=0 on Ubuntu 26.04 with distro Node 24, and spotted that the store the fresh install had just created under ~/.gemini was being reported as a stray copy left behind by older versions: his report became #1450 and the fix #1451, the CLI event store now lives under ~/.egc whatever tool runs EGC, with his name on both
