Reads: make-content's next newsletter issue if any; ../email-lifecycle/references/segments-cadence-offers.md, ../email-lifecycle/references/copy-craft.md, ../email-lifecycle/references/sms-push-whatsapp.md, ../email-lifecycle/references/modes-and-incidents.md (seasonal); the approved cadence and segments from lifecycle/program.md; the brand's promotional calendar and launch dates (brain or asked); campaign records with an email/SMS leg via gooseworks:campaign_read; last week's results from the latest reports/performance/*.md; stock for every product it will feature (asked if the brain does not hold it).

Does:

  1. The month's calendar. One row per planned send: date, segment, type (value / promotional / launch / newsletter), the one idea, offer if any (from the ladder only), channel. Campaign moments come from plan-campaign's brief; the rest are filled to the approved cadence with roughly 60–70% useful sends in non-sale weeks; a pull-back week after any tentpole. Flags blackout dates and shipping cut-offs. Totals the month's sends (sequences built as broadcasts + broadcasts + newsletter, after exits) against the plan's monthly send limit; spreads the sends or proposes the upgrade.
  2. This week's sends, finished. Per send: segment and exclusions (recent purchasers, people mid-checkout flow, unengaged), send time and time-zone basis, subject + 2 alternates, preview, body, CTA with tracked URL, plain text, the test (subject, send time or offer; winner on clicks or orders; test slice size), stock confirmed for each featured product. Newsletter: slot make-content's issue (content/newsletter/<date>.md) with segment, send time and exclusions; this atom does not write the issue.
  3. SMS only for high-intent moments with SMS consent, with brand name, STOP language, quiet hours, segment count.
  4. Margin box from offer-math beside every discount.

Writes: lifecycle/calendar/<YYYY-MM>.md and lifecycle/broadcasts/<YYYY-MM-DD>.md (week starting date), plus the same in chat.
