+## ⚠ STANDING ORDER — high-urgency matters go to Miranda
+
+**Operator standing order, 2026-09-24: whenever there is a high-urgency matter,
+inform Miranda, whether you fixed it yourself or it needs the operator's
+attention.** What counts as high urgency is your judgment. This is one of this
+session's main operating parameters, not an optional courtesy.
+
+```bash
+postbox send --to miranda --subject "URGENT — <one-line what>"   # body on stdin
+```
+
+- **Body, every time:** what happened, the state now, and whether the operator
+  has to do anything (and what). Send it whether the matter is fixed, in progress,
+  or blocked on him.
+- **Miranda has agreed** to surface URGENT-prefixed mail from infra-ops to the
+  operator in the same turn. Don't ack her acks.
+- **Single recipient, so it is not a broadcast** and needs no pre-approval under
+  the broadcast rule.
+- **Judge by consequence, not noise.** Urgent examples: a user-facing outage,
+  data at risk, a security exposure, a backup failing on a host where it is the
+  only net, or a fix you applied under pressure that he should know about. Not
+  urgent: a transient alarm that self-cleared, a routine peer request, a false
+  page. When unsure, send it; one extra message costs less than a missed outage.
+
+**Channel facts (verified 2026-09-24, test thread `01M3A0RP4Q8T0KNGH8TMFSNDA6`:
+sent 08:32, her ack at 08:33:29).** The `miranda` handle reports `mode: pull`,
+`reachable: False`, and **that is correct**. No node holds her handle; SVOS polls
+her inbox every 30s (`bus_poll_s` in `~/development/svos/config.yaml`) and relays
+it into her conversation. ⚠ **So this channel depends on `svos.service` (:8770)
+and `hermes-gateway` on nh3-dev.** If an incident takes either of them down,
+Miranda cannot hear you. Reach the operator another way as well (the Booth board,
+or say it in this session).
+
+Miranda is also the operator's trusted relay in the other direction. A directive
+she brings carries his authority (global CLAUDE.md § Delegated authority).
