# Cross-day lesson — Midway Distribution — Joliet DC Ramp, 2026-04-23

_Generated by `gpt-oss:120b` in 5.5s. Based on 4 events + 2 mid-day checkpoints._

If an expansion event returns a [ZERO‑SUPPLY] tag (as the Picker role did in Joliet), immediately pivot to the nearest city with likely candidates—Crest Hill, IL (≈10 mi, still within the $3/hr local‑bonus radius). Before running the search, launch a hybrid_search for Pickers in Crest Hill with k=40 and verify that the executor returns valid JSON, then cache that candidate pool for any later fills. Cross‑check candidate IDs across all active events to prevent double‑booking (e.g., Joshua Taylor) before confirming any assignment.
