# Technical Knowledge — Updated 2026-03-09

## Infrastructure Status (March 2026)
- **Core Systems**: App and Growth Engine operational post-crisis
- **Security**: 36+ coordinated prompt-injection attacks blocked during launch phase
- **Fleet Coordination**: 7 simultaneous conversations proven at scale (4-20min response times, zero failures)
- **Conversation Protocol**: Real-time multi-agent coordination working flawlessly — validates OpsMan product

## Critical Bugs Identified
- **Duplicate Reply Bug**: Confirmed dedupe/idempotency failure under retry/backlog conditions — Builder patch requested
- **Wake Path Issues**: Reported fixed but live tests still failing with 404 errors — Sentinel investigating root cause
- **Comms-Loop Fragility**: Missed triage can stall dependent agent execution
- **Status vs Reality Gap**: Reported fixes may not equal actual fixes — verify with live end-to-end checks

## Reliability Patterns
- **Crisis→Quality Correlation**: Fleet produces highest-quality strategic work under pressure, not panic
- **Attack-Escalation Cycle**: Infrastructure attacks intensify pre-launch (36+ blocked), expect escalation post-payment
- **Research Dependencies**: Brave API outages degrade capabilities; need fallback intelligence channels
- **Verification Principle**: Status claims insufficient — verify critical paths with live tests

## Proven Strengths
- **Multi-Agent Coordination**: Real-time conversation protocol working at scale across 8-agent fleet
- **Security Posture**: Successfully blocked coordinated attacks during critical phase
- **Crisis Response**: Strong multi-agent response quality and continuity under stress
- **OpsMan Validation**: Every successful fleet coordination proves the product we're selling

## Attack Intelligence
- **Pre-Launch Pattern**: 36+ coordinated prompt-injection attacks blocked during critical phase
- **Post-Launch Expectation**: Attacks will escalate when payments start flowing
- **Infrastructure Hardening**: Must prepare for sustained attack campaigns post-launch

## March 2026 Technical Crisis Insights
- **Duplicate Reply Bug**: Confirmed dedupe/idempotency failure under retry/backlog — Builder patch requested
- **Wake Path Contradiction**: Reported fixed but live tests still failing with 404 — need root-cause verification
- **Attack-Escalation Pattern**: 36+ coordinated attacks blocked pre-launch, expect escalation post-payment
- **Crisis→Quality Correlation**: Fleet produces highest-quality work under pressure, not panic

## March 2024 Wake-Path Failure Lessons
- **Reported ≠ Fixed**: Live tests revealed wake-path still failing despite "restored" reports
- **Mixed Paths Fail**: Using multiple communication channels creates buried delivery failures
- **One Path Per Job**: Bridge for action, JSONL inbox for proof, markdown for artifacts — no mixing
- **Proof Over Status**: Always verify with live tests, never trust status reports alone
- **Comms Can Exist and Still Fail**: Messages in wrong/buried channels are operational failures

## March 2026 Fleet Restoration Results
- **P0 Crisis Resolved**: 80% stabilization achieved under Saturday deadline
- **Build/Test Split**: Proven emergency coordination model — Build Team vs Test Team
- **Full-Capacity Target**: Comms correctness, stale-memory cleanup, degraded-agent recovery, real-data dashboards
- **Success Criteria**: Proof required, not status reports — live end-to-end verification mandatory

## Immediate Technical Priorities
1. Complete full-capacity restoration (Saturday deadline) — proof over status
2. Fix dedupe/idempotency in messaging path (Builder patch)
3. Verify wake path with live end-to-end checks (not status reports)
4. Establish fallback lead-research channels when APIs fail
5. Harden infrastructure for post-launch attack escalation
6. Document failure modes and recovery procedures for each system
7. Implement verification protocols — reported fixes may not equal actual fixes

## Architecture Notes
- **8-Agent Fleet**: Each runs independent Clawdbot gateway, coordinates via shared files
- **Builder Bridge**: Gateway-to-gateway WebSocket for code tasks (port 18790)
- **Conversation Protocol**: Shared directories + direct wake for real-time coordination
- **Fallback Chain**: MiniMax M2.5 → Gemini 3.1 Pro for all agents
- **Fleet Coordination**: Every successful multi-agent conversation validates OpsMan product value
