# Librarian and source monitoring

> The two narrow background jobs that remain in Driftless.

Driftless keeps two narrow background jobs around governed context and commercial operations: **Librarian** and platform-owned source monitoring.

## Librarian

The Librarian tends the knowledge graph. On a weekly sweep it produces a suggestion report: topics to promote, duplicates to merge, dead anchors to prune, and disconnected areas to link. It is an advisor by default.

With `librarian_autovouch` enabled, high-confidence, human-authored Notes can be promoted automatically. The action is attributed and reversible, and appears in Applied for review.

## Steward

The Steward monitors collection records whose source material can change. It recomputes source fingerprints on its configured cadence and opens bounded review work when a source has drifted. It does not replace the collection's criterion or make an external write on its own.

## How they run

These jobs run server-side on inference Driftless operates. Shared runtime and historical run records remain internal operational data; Driftless does not expose a customer-facing run console or roster.

In the dashboard, open **Settings → Background Workers** to enable Librarian or Steward and configure Librarian's Auto-merge option.
