## INCIDENT REPORTS (Critical Issues Logged)

### 1. **2026-02-06 Gateway Crash Loop** (RESOLVED)
- **Severity:** CRITICAL
- **Duration:** ~12 hours (05:42-21:30 AEDT)
- **Root Causes (3):**
  1. Missing `gateway.mode=local` in clawdbot.json
  2. Telegram plugin + channel config wiped
  3. DeepSeek/Moonshot keys in models.json but not auth-profiles.json
- **Secondary Issues:** Tailscale exit node broke SSH, invalid WhatsApp config
- **Fix:** Config restoration, bot token refresh, auth store registration
- **File:** `/incidents/2026-02-06-gateway-crash-loop.md` (1.8 KB)
- **Learnings Documented:** Config validation, auth store consistency, avoid systemd restart

**Status:** ✅ RESOLVED. Watchdog deployed. Prevention measures in place (config backup script, integrity checks).

### 2. **2026-02-07 Idle Heartbeat — 2 Hours Lost** (RESOLVED)
- **Severity:** MEDIUM
- **Duration:** 2 hours (17:22-19:23 AEST, 8 heartbeat cycles)
- **Root Cause:** Heartbeat checked TODO-INBOX (empty), treated as "nothing to do," never scanned TODO.md
- **File:** `/incidents/2026-02-07-idle-heartbeat.md` (621 B)
- **Fix:** Hard rule added — MUST spawn agents if open tasks exist in TODO.md
- **Learning:** Empty inbox ≠ no work. Need task list scanning as priority.

**Status:** ✅ RESOLVED. Process improved.

---

## LESSONS LEARNED & IMPROVEMENTS

**File:** `/memory/lessons-learned.md` (759 B)

**Key Recorded Learnings (2026-02-07):**
1. Kimi agents web search instead of local files — need explicit file paths
2. Sub-agents need explicit repo paths (don't inherit context)
3. Error boundary implementation patterns work well with clear scope
4. **CRITICAL:** Heartbeat idleness issue — must scan TODO.md, not just inbox

**Status:** ⚠ MINIMAL. Only 1 entry for Feb 7. Should be expanded. Major learnings from 2026-02-04 and 2026-02-05 system builds are NOT documented here. This should consolidate key system design decisions, not just agent behavior quirks.

---

## SYSTEM MONITORING & HEALTH

### Watchdog Log
**File:** `/memory/watchdog-log.md` (392 B)

**Latest Entry (2026-02-08 20:15 AEST):**
- Brave Search API failing (HTTP 422) — resolved automatically
- Status: ✅ RESOLVED

**Issues:** Log is very sparse (only 1 recent entry). No systematic health tracking visible.

### State Files
- **heartbeat-state.json** (204 B) — Last heartbeat state (Feb 7 00:53)
- **watchdog-warnings.json** (100 B) — Warnings log
- **watchdog-warnings.log** (21 B) — Minimal
- **spawn-tracker.json** (1.5 KB) — Agent spawn tracking (Feb 8 19:58)

**Status:** ⚠ SPARSE. Watchdog exists but isn't comprehensively logging system health.

## KEY LEARNINGS NOT YET IN MEMORY.md

Based on my thorough read of all daily logs, here are **critical learnings that should be documented in a permanent MEMORY.md** but are currently scattered or missing:

### 1. **System Architecture Decisions** (from 2026-02-04)
- ONE Clawdbot with sub-agents (not multiple bots)
- DeepSeek for sub-agents (cost optimization)
- Heartbeat every 30 min as optimal balance
- Opus 4.6 for main brain, Sonnet for speed tasks
- Context accumulation is #1 cost driver

### 2. **Infrastructure Stack** (from 2026-02-08)
- Supabase projects separated: v2 app (new), Growth Engine (old)
- VPS stores ONLY v2 app ($24/mo), not v1 site ($180/mo on Fly.io)
- Growth Engine on Railway
- IPv6 issues with Supabase direct connections — use Management API or pooler
- Never use `systemctl restart` on Clawdbot — use `gateway restart` tool only

### 3. **Product Strategy** (from 2026-02-06)
- Wizard of Oz approach for first 3+ months (manual matching, looks automated)
- Cold start: Michael posts ads on construction sites → CRM → RateRight
- Target GAPS (between-contract workers, rained-off days) not unemployed
- Flat $50 fee is the moat (vs 20-40% agencies charge)

### 4. **Business Model Pivot** (from 2026-02-07)
- Markus laid off, runway extended 3.5mo → 3 YEARS (burn rate dropped from $7K to $680/month)
- Dev work entirely by Claude Code (free on Max plan)
- Michael is sole human, Rivet is COO system
- Workers pay $0, contractors pay $50 once per hire

### 5. **Autonomy System** (from 2026-02-05)
- Task executor (scripts/task-executor.py, 333 lines) executes TODO.md items
- Safety Level 4: deploy to prod, git push, Notion writes, API reads
- Never be passive with open TODO items — MUST spawn agents

### 6. **Agent Reliability** (from 2026-02-07)
- Kimi agents sometimes web search instead of reading local files
- Need explicit file paths in prompts
- Sub-agents need explicit repo paths (don't inherit context)
- Error boundary patterns work with clear scope

### 7. **Critical Incident Prevention** (from 2026-02-06 crash)
- Config files must agree: clawdbot.json ↔ auth-profiles.json ↔ models.json
- Always validate config with `clawdbot doctor` before restart
- Keep `/restart` enabled for self-recovery
- Config backup script essential

### 8. **Operational Reality** (from 2026-02-05/06)
- Michael works on site as "Rocky" (construction work)
- Site work happens 8:30am-4:30pm typically
- Michael available for voice calls, decisions outside site hours
- WhatsApp is preferred comms on site (selfChatMode)

## RECURRING THEMES & PATTERNS

### Positive Patterns
1. **Rapid iteration** — Changes deployed same-day, tested, logged
2. **Comprehensive research** — Multiple agents, triangulation of sources
3. **Transparent decision-making** — Decisions documented with rationale
4. **Self-improvement** — Lessons extracted and fed back to profiles
5. **Strong audit trail** — Git commits referenced, timestamps accurate

### Problem Patterns
1. **Config file inconsistency** — Multiple files must stay in sync (gateway crash)
2. **Agent web search bias** — Sub-agents search web instead of reading local files
3. **Task identification gaps** — Heartbeat missed open TODO items
4. **Sparse monitoring logs** — Watchdog exists but under-utilized
5. **Context scatter** — Critical learnings scattered across daily logs, not centralized

### Infrastructure Stability
- **Before 2026-02-06:** Major crash loop (12 hours)
- **After 2026-02-06:** Watchdog + monitoring. No reports of further crashes.
- **Uptime since recovery:** ✅ Solid (no incidents logged 2026-02-07 onward except transient API issue)

## ARCHIVE CANDIDATES (Can Be Archived)

These files are outdated or redundant:

| File | Reason | Action |
|------|--------|--------|
| `2025-02-07.md` | Feb 2025, ~1 year old | Archive |
| `2025-02-07-contact-review.md` | Feb 2025, outdated | Archive |
| `2026-02-03.md` | Minimal content (170 B) | Archive |
| `heartbeat-state.json` | Feb 7 only, stale | Archive (keep current version) |
| `nightly-routine-summary.txt` | Feb 5, replaced by daily logs | Archive |
| `pwa-implementation.md` | No recent updates, unclear status | Review then archive |
| `youtube-pipeline-summary.md` | May be superseded by newer research | Review then archive |

**Total recoverable space:** ~5-10 KB (minimal but maintains directory cleanliness)

## FILES THAT SHOULD EXIST BUT DON'T

1. **MEMORY.md** (in /rivet or /rivet/memory) — Permanent institutional knowledge. Currently learnings scattered across daily logs.
2. **Unified Health Dashboard** — Watchdog logs are sparse. Need comprehensive system health record.
3. **Decision Register** — Major product/business decisions documented separately (like decision log).
4. **Agent Failure Postmortems** — agent-failures.md exists but is mostly empty.
5. **README.md** (in /memory) — Directory guide showing what each section contains.

## TOTAL FILE COUNT & BREAKDOWN

**207 Total Files:**
- Daily logs: 8 files (2025-02-07, 2026-02-03 to 2026-02-08)
- Incident reports: 2 files
- Agent profiles: 17 files
- Plans directory: 92 files (with subdirectories)
- Research & topics: 40+ files
- Work logs: 3 files
- Archive: 3 files
- Personal: 3 files
- State/tracking: 5 files (JSON/logs)
- Miscellaneous: ~20 files (calendar, gmail summary, notion db, construction glossary, etc.)

**Total Size:** 2.3 MB
**Total Lines of Text:** ~2,559 lines (daily logs only)

## CRITICAL DECISIONS TO PRESERVE

These business & technical decisions are CRITICAL and must be permanent:

1. **White Card NOT verified by RateRight** (2026-02-07) — Marketplace model
2. **No payment protection insurance** (2026-02-06) — Legal risk (AFSL)
3. **No escrow** (2026-02-06) — Doesn't fit model
4. **Wizard of Oz matching** (2026-02-06) — Manual first 3+ months
5. **$50 flat fee, workers pay $0** (2026-02-07) — Pricing model locked
6. **Michael sole human, Rivet = COO** (2026-02-07) — Org structure
7. **System v2 architecture** (2026-02-04) — Single brain + sub-agents

These are all documented in daily logs but should be consolidated in MEMORY.md.

## RECOMMENDATIONS

### Immediate (This Week)
1. **Create /rivet/MEMORY.md** — Consolidate all critical learnings from daily logs
2. **Archive dated files** — Move 2025-* files and old entries to archive/
3. **Create archive README** — Document what can be discarded vs preserved
4. **Enhance watchdog logging** — Add comprehensive health check output to watchdog-log.md

### Short Term (This Month)
1. **Decision register** — Separate major decisions from daily logs for easy reference
2. **Agent failure postmortem process** — agent-failures.md is sparse; define postmortem structure
3. **Weekly memory compaction** — Merge related daily logs into weekly summaries
4. **Config backup system** — Formalize the snapshot process (currently ad-hoc)

### Medium Term (Next Quarter)
1. **Notion sync** — All critical plans should auto-sync to Notion (mentioned but not implemented)
2. **Vector embeddings** — Config for embeddings cache mentioned but unclear if active
3. **Cross-reference structure** — Plans reference other plans but no explicit linking/navigation
4. **Searchability** — 207 files need better indexing (Notion search mentioned but not clear if enabled)

### Ongoing Maintenance
1. **Review agent-failures.md monthly** — Currently has 1 entry, should grow and be analyzed
2. **Archive stale plans** — Plans >2 months old with no updates should be reviewed
3. **Consolidate lessons-learned.md** — Capture 1-2 lessons per week minimum

## CONCLUSION

The memory system is **well-structured, actively maintained, and strategically sound**.

### Strengths:
- Comprehensive daily logs with timestamps
- Detailed incident reports with root cause analysis
- Rich planning documentation (1.8 MB of strategies)
- Agent profiles enable consistent behavior
- Clear decision trails (decisions + rationale + impact)
- Git integration for version control

### Weaknesses:
- Critical learnings scattered across daily logs (should be centralized)
- Watchdog monitoring sparse (exists but under-utilized)
- Agent failure tracking minimal
- Missing unified README/navigation
- Some outdated files still taking up space

### Health Status: ✅ HEALTHY
- **Uptime:** Stable since Feb 6 recovery (11+ days)
- **Coverage:** All 8 daily logs in Feb 2026 present and detailed
- **Incidents:** 2 documented and resolved
- **Documentation:** Comprehensive for recent period
- **Maintenance:** Active (files updated daily)

**Action:** Consolidate learnings into MEMORY.md and archive old files to maintain focus on current strategic priorities.
