# 2026-02-18 — Harper Daily Log

## 19:03 — First session with Michael
- Michael said hello. Initialized MEMORY.md and daily log.
- Flagged BAS Q2 due Feb 28.

## 19:04-19:12 — Voice note conversation
- Michael confirmed: NOT GST registered, company started at beginning of FY2025-26.
- Clarified BAS likely not required without GST/PAYG obligations.
- Michael asked about accountant costs — recommended skipping accountant for now ($2-5K savings), I prep everything, he submits.
- Michael confirmed all spending is R&D: "this whole job is R&D"
- Michael will give access to: Gmail, AirWallex (bank), has Xero but doesn't use it.
- Michael asked me to investigate the multi-agent system, learn how I interact with the team.

## 19:12 — Fleet investigation
- Read all shared files: MISSION.md, COMPANY.md, ROADMAP.md, LESSONS.md, COMMS-PROTOCOL.md, fleet-state.json, README.md
- Fully oriented on fleet architecture, communication protocols, and my role.
- Updated MEMORY.md with comprehensive knowledge base.
- Fleet status: 4 agents stalled (Builder, Susan, Radar, Cog), Rivet/Sentinel/Herald active/idle.

## 19:42 — Full operational setup (Michael's instruction)
- Read Rivet's SYSTEM.md, AGENTS.md, COMMS-PROTOCOL.md, HEARTBEAT.md, CONTEXT.md, MEMORY.md, MASTER-STATE-OF-PLAY.md
- Read Sentinel's completed setup docs for consistency
- Rewrote all 5 core docs in my own voice:
  1. SOUL.md — identity, values, personality, relationships
  2. IDENTITY.md — quick-reference card
  3. AGENTS.md — fleet coordination protocol, buddy system, inbox/status commands
  4. TOOLS.md — every tool, path, command, and compliance calendar I use
  5. OPS.md — boot sequence, idle behaviour, health signal, self-recovery, escalation, failure modes
- De-duplicated across all files. Each doc owns its domain.
- Honest about what's not built yet (bank access, Gmail, automated tracking).
