// Briefing
The broadcaster's playout schedule still lives on a mainframe, reached through a stack of protocol bridges that only two people understood. When a bridge dropped, finding WHICH one meant a phone call to whoever had the terminal muscle memory.
CORE_LINK inventories every bridge as a typed GraphQL graph and draws the whole chain, end to end, with the failing hop lit. Restarting a bridge is a button with an audit trail instead of a shell session — and the two people got their evenings back.
// Highlights
- — Every bridge hop made visible
- — One-click restart, audited
- — Zero shell sessions since launch
