This is a new source since it's not in the "Sources already mined" list (wait, `kidfriendlydc.com` is in the list, but `mommypoppins.com` is not!). Let's search for mommy poppins.

Let's fetch `https://mommypoppins.com/things-to-do-in-dc-september-kids-families-labor-day` to see if there are other September 2026 events. This is a very high value page for September events.

This is incredibly useful. Let's analyze these events for Capitol Hill proximity: - **DC State Fair**: Sunday, September 6, 2026. This is already on our calendar as `dc-state-fair-2026-09-06` at Anthem Row (800 K St NW). Wait! Let's check the start time. On our calendar: `15:00:00Z` (11:00 AM EDT).

What about Saturday, September 12? Do we have any Art All Night events on Saturday, Sep 12? Looking at our calendar list for September 12, we only have: - `immersive-spanish-young-explorers-hill-center-2026-09-12` - `northeast-library-used-book-sale-2026-09-12` - `solid-state-books-storytime-2026-09-12` - `southwest-library-used-book-sale-2026-09-12` - `northeast-library-family-storytime-2026-09-12` - `because-science-space-festival-day-1-2026-09-12` - `nbm-steam-saturday-bridging-the-gap-2026-09-12` There are NO Saturday Art All Night events listed for Capitol Hill or Eastern Market on our calendar yet! Let's search for "Art All Night Capitol Hill 2026" or "Art All Night Eastern Market 2026" or "Art All Night Barracks Row 2026" to see what is happening on Saturday, Sep 12, 2026, or if all the Capitol Hill activations are on Friday, Sep 11. Wait, let's look at the main website `barracksrow.org/events` or search for Art All Night DC 2026 Saturday events. Let's do a web search.

Ah! In 2026, Art All Night is Friday, Sept 11 and Saturday, Sept 12. Let's search for "Capitol Hill Art Walk" on September 12-13, 2026! Wait! The search results mention: "Capitol Hill Art Walk on September 12-13, 2026, featuring local artists and crafters ... More than ninety artists open home ..." And: "the upcoming Capitol Hill Art Walk is coming up on September 12th-13th". Let's search for "Capitol Hill Art Walk" 2026 to see what events are happening and if they are kid friendly. This is a massive community event! Let's search.

This is perfect! The Capitol Hill Art Walk is Saturday, September 12, 2026 and Sunday, September 13, 2026.

Wait, let's see: - "Presented by the Capitol Hill Art League (CHAL), a program of the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) and co-sponsored by the Hill Rag, and the Capitol Hill Restoration Society (CHRS)." - "Over 175 local artists and artisans will display their work at 90+ locations – in their own micro-galleries, in Capitol Hill home-studios, on porches or in yards." - "Noon – 4 pm, Saturday and Sunday, September 12 – 13, 2026." - "FREE to both artists and visitors. No reservations needed." - It says: "Joinery demonstrations: 1301 E St. NE, kid-friendly (if adults present)" under Zone Three! This is a wonderful kid-friendly, neighborhood-wide event that is free and happening on Capitol Hill. Let's record this event for both days! Let's choose the slug: `capitol-hill-art-walk-2026-09-12` and `capitol-hill-art-walk-2026-09-13`. Wait, or we can make it a multi-day event or record separate days. Separate days are best so they show up on the specific dates clearly. Let's check the date of the event: - Saturday, September 12, 2026 (12:00 PM to 4:00 PM) -> 16:00:00Z to 20:00:00Z (EDT is UTC-4). - Sunday, September 13, 2026 (12:00 PM to 4:00 PM) -> 16:00:00Z to 20:00:00Z. Let's search for "SE Library Reopens on Sept. 10" mentioned in the Hill Rag list! The Southeast Library has been closed for a massive renovation.

Wait, let's also check the description: "The Southeast Library is reopening after a multi-year modernization.

Let's see what is needed for `record_calendar_event`: - `topic_id`: "019edd65-3cc2-7cb8-ac96-28ce14cc6670" - `cycle_id`: Let's check the current cycle ID from the channel in our prompt: `topic-019edd65-3cc2-7cb8-ac96-28ce14cc6670-cycle-3dc449a8-909b-4352-b25d-f9bba59d249a`. Wait, the Chat ID is `topic-019edd65-3cc2-7cb8-ac96-28ce14cc6670-cycle-3dc449a8-909b-4352-b25d-f9bba59d249a`. Let's check

I will read the existing notes for the topic to see if there is any standing finding that I should update or if there are any other notes already recorded.

I will write a note updating the `capitol-hill-kids-events-calendar` with our new findings, specifically the Southeast Library grand reopening on September 10, 2026, and the Capitol Hill Art Walk on September 12-13, 2026.

Outstanding! Now, let's write a note updating the Capitol Hill Kids Events Calendar finding. Wait, let's review the required format of a note: - Body shapes: - First level heading `# ` is the title. - The slug parameter is passed. - No YAML frontmatter. - Grounded in concrete evidence: name and link the actual source(s), include 1-2 verbatim quotes kept with their links, then interpret. - Slug is `capitol-hill-kids-events-calendar` to update the existing note! Let's see what the existing note was: "Capitol Hill Kids Events Calendar (Summer & Fall 2026)" Let's write a beautifully structured note that captures the major developments we surfaced this cycle: 1. The grand reopening of the Southeast Library on Thursday, September 10, 2026, which is a major milestone for kids and families on Capitol Hill. 2. The Capitol Hill Art Walk on September 12-13, 2026, which features over 175 local artists and artisans displaying work at 90+ locations, including kid-friendly joinery demonstrations. 3. The new DC Stay-At-Home Parent blog resource, providing weekday listings of infant and toddler activities. Let's write the note body first. Wait, let's double check the verbatim quotes and sources to ensure 100% compliance with the "Critical rules — never violate" and the note body template. Let's find the exact quote about Southeast Library reopening: From `https://www.hillrag.com/2026/07/08/southeast-library-slated-to-reopen-sept-10/`: > "At long last, we’re getting our library back. The Southeast Library (403 Seventh St. SE), one of the oldest DC Public Library (DCPL) buildings, will reopen to the public Thursday, Sept. 10." And from the DCPL event page `https://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/17307724`: > "The Southeast Library is reopening after a multi-year modernization. Come explore the new spaces, dance to live music, and enjoy fun activities, treats, giveaways, and more!" And about the Art Walk from `https://www.hillrag.com/2026/08/10/art-walk-2026/`: > "Over 175 local artists and artisans will display their work at 90+ locations – in their own micro-galleries, in Capitol Hill home-studios, on porches or in yards. Noon – 4 pm, Saturday and Sunday, September 12 – 13, 2026." Let's compose the note body. No YAML frontmatter! Just start with `# Capitol Hill Kids Events Calendar (Summer & Fall 2026)`. Let's write.

This is absolutely wonderful! Now, let's check if there are any other actions required before finishing. Wait, let's look at the active thread/watch: - ID: `019ef1a0-2c48-71fa-9ee8-5eb5b0eedd32` - Kind: `watch` - Title: `Capitol Hill Fall & Winter Holiday Kids Events` - Trigger: `Fires when late fall/winter holiday events are announced for kids on Capitol Hill.` Wait, have late fall/winter holiday events been announced yet? The events we found are for September (Southeast Library reopening, Art Walk). These are early fall events, not late fall/winter holiday events (like Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Winter Market celebrations). So the watch should remain open (we should not resolve it yet). Let's call `finish_cycle` to complete this research cycle successfully! No `no_findings_reason` is needed because we wrote a finding and updated our notes. Let's finish the cycle.

I have completed the research cycle successfully! I discovered and recorded several key events for the Capitol Hill kids' calendar, updated our standing findings note, and registered the events to the topic feed.
