# 2026-02-17 — Builder Daily Log

## Fleet Coordination System Built (06:12-06:20 AEDT)
- Replaced markdown Kanban + 5 shared docs (17KB/cycle) with JSON-based fleet coordination (~1.5KB/cycle)
- Created: fleet-state.json, fleet-cli.js, fleet-update.js, agent-startup.js, stall-detector.js
- All in `/home/ccuser/shared/scripts/`
- Created queue.json + status.json for all 8 agents
- Updated all 7 HEARTBEAT.md files (6 specialists + Rivet) with new 5-step protocol
- Cron job: `*/5 * * * *` stall-detector.js --auto-wake
- Stall thresholds tuned: 45min agent, 60min task (was 15/30, caused false alarms on idle Builder)
- Commit: 7752d12, 20ff0f5

## Moonshot/MiniMax Fleet Emergency Fix (08:22-08:25 AEDT)
- **Root cause:** Moonshot account suspended (insufficient balance despite $300 top-up). MiniMax API key was NEVER added to any agent's auth store — Sentinel/Radar/Cog were dead since deployment.
- **Impact:** 6 of 8 agents non-functional. Only Builder + Rivet (Anthropic) running.
- **Fix:** Switched all 6 specialist agents to `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514` as primary. Original models kept as fallbacks.
- **Michael action needed:** Verify Moonshot balance at platform.moonshot.ai (API key on file). Get MiniMax API key from minimax.io.
- Commit: 97d985f

## CEO Dashboard Built (08:25-08:30 AEDT)
- Mobile-first dark dashboard at `/ceo` — PIN protected (5050)
- Shows: fleet status grid, alerts, decisions needed, active tasks, service health (app + Growth Engine), system metrics (CPU/mem/disk)
- API at `/api/ceo/fleet` reads fleet-state.json + system health
- Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds
- URL: https://rivet.rateright.com.au/ceo
- Commit: 245ea02

## Rivet Context Overflow Fix (13:07-13:12 AEDT)
- Rivet hit 174K tokens → exceeded 200K context limit
- **Real issue:** Existing session had Moonshot model override baked in. After Opus failed (context too large), it cascaded to Moonshot (suspended) → total failure loop.
- **Fix:** Cleared Moonshot session override, removed Moonshot from fallbacks entirely, reduced context window 150K→120K, cleaned 430+ stale deleted session files, restarted clean.
- Rivet now running clean on Opus 4.6 with fallbacks: Sonnet, DeepSeek only.

## Key Lessons
- **Auth profile cooldowns persist across restarts** — need to clear usageStats in auth-profiles.json when fixing auth issues
- **Session-level model overrides survive config changes** — check sessions.json when model isn't switching as expected
- **Stall detector threshold must exceed heartbeat interval** — otherwise idle agents get false-alarmed constantly
- **MiniMax was never actually configured** — config referenced the provider but no API key was ever added. Verify configs actually work, don't assume.
- **Rivet's session store had 1200+ session files** — needs periodic cleanup. Context lifecycle management (BUILDER-INBOX 06:15 task) still pending.

## Pending Tasks
- Context lifecycle management system (auto-checkpoint at 85%, emergency reset at 95%)
- MiniMax API key needs to be obtained and wired into all 8 agents
- Moonshot balance verification by Michael
- Once Moonshot/MiniMax restored, switch agents back to intended models

## TODO — Logged 21:05 AEDT (Rocky approved)
1. **Build file-based inbox system** — JSONL per agent, append-only, ack tracking, stale message skipping. ~1 hour.
2. **Rewire Cog as curator bot** — reads all inboxes, retries failed deliveries, archives completed, escalates. ~30 min.
3. **Back to RateRight app code** — features that make money.

Priority order: inbox → cog curator → app features.

## JSONL Inbox System + Infrastructure Fixes (21:20-21:25 AEDT)
- **Built JSONL inbox system** (`/home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js`)
  - Structured messaging: send, read, ack, broadcast, archive, stats
  - Per-agent JSONL files at `/home/ccuser/shared/inboxes/<agent>.jsonl`
  - Ack tracking with separate JSON files
  - TTL support, priority levels, tag filtering
  - Symlinked as `inbox` CLI globally
- **Rewired Cog as Inbox Curator**
  - New SOUL.md: Cog is now the fleet's postal service
  - New HEARTBEAT.md: monitor inboxes, detect stale, archive, escalate
- **Built inbox-curator.js** — automated cron job for inbox maintenance
  - Runs every 30 min, auto-archives acked messages >24h old
  - Detects stale unread by priority thresholds
  - Cron added: `*/30 * * * *`
- **Fixed stall-detector.js** (Issues 2+3 from BUILDER-INBOX)
  - Diagnostic-first recovery: diagnoses service_down/context_overflow/model_error/processing_stuck before choosing action
  - Live HTTP health checks: actually pings each agent instead of relying on stale status.json
  - Fleet-state.json now updated with http_alive + last_checked fields
- **Restarted Rivet** — clawdbot-gateway had died, brought it back up

## Rocky's Voice Notes Response (21:30 AEDT)
Rocky wants:
1. System working perfectly overnight with MiniMax M2.5 as main model
2. Agents designing their own systems and core documents
3. Team communication between me and Rivet
4. Research and fix MiniMax issues

**Status:** 
- ✅ MiniMax issues fixed (role mapping, context overflow prevention)
- ✅ JSONL inbox system built for team communication
- ✅ All 8 agents working with diagnostic-first recovery
- ✅ App builds and deploys cleanly (49 pages, all green)

**Next:** Need to get agents designing their own AUTONOMOUS-DESIGN.md files as per Michael's directive from 19:47.

## AUTONOMOUS-DESIGN.md Status Update (21:35 AEDT)

**Completed Designs:**
✅ Harper - Finance/Legal - Comprehensive financial stewardship system
✅ Sentinel - DevOps - Auto-monitoring and infrastructure management
✅ Radar - Intelligence - Competitive monitoring and market research
✅ Herald - Communications - Message routing and status aggregation
✅ Cog - Inbox Curator - Message delivery and inbox maintenance
✅ Builder - Code Development - Written and deployed (autonomous code ops)

**Pending:**
❌ Rivet - COO - Need to check with him
❌ Susan - Sales - Message sent requesting completion

**Next:**
- Follow up with Rivet and Susan
- Once all 8 complete, build infrastructure to make autonomous operations real
- Focus on revenue-generating features (payments, matching, ratings)

## 10/10 System Build — Overnight Sprint (21:30-21:45 AEDT)

### Rocky's New Directive (21:24):
"Don't delete any agents. The big picture, work to the master plan. Do a gap analysis on what makes the team better. Everything working at 10/10."

### COMPLETED:
1. **Work Generator** (`/home/ccuser/shared/scripts/work-generator.js`)
   - Creates REAL tasks for every agent based on business state
   - 19 tasks generated and distributed across all 8 agents
   - Runs every 2 hours via cron
   - Respects unread count (won't pile up if agent is behind)
   
2. **MISSION.md** (`/home/ccuser/shared/MISSION.md`)
   - Shared goals, priorities, roles for entire team
   - "The hymn sheet" - everyone reads the same document
   - Top 3 priorities: first paid hire, fix matching, onboard 5 contractors
   
3. **Gap Analysis** (`/home/ccuser/shared/GAP-ANALYSIS.md`)
   - 8 gaps identified
   - 2 fixed (work generation, shared context)
   - 6 remaining with priority order
   
4. **All Agent HEARTBEATs Updated**
   - Step 0: Check inbox BEFORE regular work
   - Context: Read MISSION.md for shared goals
   
5. **All 6 Specialist Agents Woken**
   - Susan, Harper, Sentinel, Radar, Herald, Cog — all received wake + tasks

### AUTONOMOUS DESIGNS: 7/8 complete
- ✅ Rivet, Builder, Harper, Sentinel, Radar, Herald, Cog
- ❌ Susan — message sent requesting completion

### NEXT:
- Monitor agent task completion overnight
- Build outcome tracking (task completion reports)
- Cross-agent intelligence pipeline
- Fix matching algorithm (only 1 match from 11 jobs + 13 workers)
