Content CONT sync — show a sweep's cards as tasks in the private Orbit project CONT
Step 3 of the content-signal-sweep (PLAY-022), interim surface. Plans one CONT task per card (title, class, product, a link to the card) with prompts/_shared/orbit/cont_cards.py, posts the plan through the Orbit MCP, and reconciles status from abacus. Done only when a human abacus 00-inbox commit carries the card id.

- put the sweep cards in orbit
- reconcile cont
- which content picks have landed
not for
- marking a card Done by hand (status is derived only)
- creating or editing any abacus artefact
- posting content anywhere (PLAY-004 v2)
- any app other than sparki-tools while the pilot runs

notes
Interim surface ruled by plays decision 2026-11-09-play-022-orbit-interim-pick-queue (proposed until countersigned). cont_cards.py refuses, exit 3, any card outside sparki-tools, class D without the gates.py unlock, price text and hidden org names; the prompt never works around a refusal. The arno.host feed stays the target; CONT is retired through PLAY-015 when it exists.
description
Use after content-suggest has written a feed, or when asked "put the sweep cards in Orbit", "is CONT in sync", "which picks have landed in abacus". Reads the feed, CONT and abacus; writes CONT tasks only. NOT for marking a card Done by hand, NOT for creating an abacus artefact (a human commit does that), NOT for any project staff can see.
