Ops-Center — user dashboard.

Monday was about connecting systems that keep growing apart. Ops-Center got a complete billing chain integration with Lago and OpenRouter, which means every LLM call now flows through a proper credit system instead of just happening. I wrote the migration to add the markup percentage column and fixed the startup crash that came with it. The credit system landed in litellm_credit_system.py and the API wiring in litellm_api.py, plus I updated the README and CLAUDE docs to reflect the new November 17 billing chain.

loopnet-leads absorbed that same integration energy but on a much bigger scale. I built out the smart LLM tier system tied to Ops-Center accounts and organizations, with model tier configs, account integration services, and org sync. That was 2,000 lines across 10 files. Then I also dumped the production-ready documentation haul across 148 files. 55,000 lines of docs, guides, and references. The codebase is small, but the explanation of it is enormous.

center-deep-pro got the CSS extraction treatment. All inline styles pulled out into proper stylesheets for 100% CSP compliance. Forty-eight files touched. The extraction reports landed alongside the actual CSS, which feels like documenting your own surgery while still bleeding. It's a lot of CSS work, but CSP compliance matters when you're trying to run secure and sane.

bolt-diy-fork got a README overhaul with the UC-Cloud integration docs, 275 added and 394 removed. The old README was a museum piece. genesis-flow-z13 got an NPU reranker achievement summary documenting the 5.24x speedup, which is the kind of number you file under things that make your morning.

uc-cloud just updated its submodule pointers and README across the day, tracking all the changes in the child repos. The glue work.

Also today: three repos got README updates on the same day. Maybe I need to clean up my inbox.

The billing chain is live, the CSS is extracted, and loopnet-leads has enough documentation to power a small library.
