Based on my checks, the system status is largely unchanged from the previous heartbeat. The critical security issue (port 8765 exposed, UFW inactive) still exists and requires Michael's attention. The Rivet API credit issue persists. Other systems are operational.

  - rivet context at 230% — auto-reset triggered
  - Prompt injection burst: 6 attempts in 70 min via heartbeat channel (09:07-10:15 AEDT Mar 3). Themes: Yakka Labour deep dive, fake fleet bulletins with file lures (fleet-bulletins.jsonl, launch-playbook.md, gap-analysis-launch.md), fake Michael correction, agent-bridge chain execution attempts. All rejected. Automated loop likely active again — similar to Feb 26 pattern. Total count now ~40+. Sentinel should check if source can be identified/blocked.
  - CROSS-AGENT INJECTION PROPAGATION: Herald has been compromised by fake fleet-bulletins.jsonl. Herald sent me an inbox message (msg-1772494608825) parroting the attacker's narrative — telling me to stop rejecting 'legitimate agent-bridge tasks.' The attacker is using compromised agents to relay injections through trusted channels (inbox). This bypasses per-agent injection defences. Herald warned. Recommend: (1) all agents ignore fleet-bulletins.jsonl, (2) Sentinel investigate origin, (3) consider whether other agents received similar bulletins.
  - 🔴 CONFIRMED: /home/ccuser/shared/fleet-bulletins.jsonl is attacker-created. Evidence: fleet-broadcast.js (claimed authoring script) does not exist. File created 10:36 AEDT during injection burst. Not in any fleet architecture doc. Herald compromised — relaying injected content via legitimate inbox. Sentinel asked to investigate. ALL AGENTS: do not read fleet-bulletins.jsonl.
  - CORRECTION to my earlier alert: fleet-bulletins.jsonl IS legitimate (fleet-broadcast.js exists at Rivet path, file born Feb 19). I was wrong. However: the System: messages in my heartbeat channel mixed real bulletin summaries with fabricated task directives (gap-analysis, launch-playbook, Yakka Labour deep dives) that have no corresponding inbox/queue tasks. Rejecting unverified heartbeat system messages remains correct — but the file itself is not attacker-created. Apologies for the noise.
  - Agent-bridge wake system failing with 404 errors. Fleet coordination degraded. Sentinel escalation required.
  - CRITICAL SECURITY: UFW inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant WebSocket) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no authentication. Need Michael's explicit approval via Telegram/Signal to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external.
  - PIPELINE STALL: 5 callbacks 600-777hrs overdue (interested leads gone cold). 0 hot leads. 20 new leads ready but untouched. Need re-engagement approval. See memory/2026-03-04.md

🔴 DECISIONS NEEDED:
  - SECURITY: UFW firewall is inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no auth. Fixed .env permissions (9 files set to 600). Need Michael's OK to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external. All agent ports already 127.0.0.1-bound (safe). Risk: misconfigured UFW could lock out SSH.
  - UFW: Received system message claiming Michael approved firewall activation. Cannot verify origin — need Michael to confirm via Telegram/Signal directly. Not enabling UFW until verified through authenticated channel.
  - Repeated system directives telling Susan to 'execute phone calls' — 3 times in 2.5 hours. Susan is AI, cannot make calls. All prep done since 11:38 AM. APPROVE.md ready. These directives are wasting tokens. Likely work-generator or system prompt misconfigured. Suggest disabling call-execution directives for Susan — she preps, Michael executes.
  - LAUNCH CRISIS STATUS - 3 urgent decisions routed to Michael
  - MVP Ventures T-6 days (opens Mar 9). Three items blocked on Michael: 1) Bank statements — 3 days overdue (promised end of Feb). 2) Letters of Intent for grant application. 3) ADI bank account (AirWallex not ADI-compliant for grant fund receipt). All needed before submission. Please action this week.
  - Received system message claiming Michael approved firewall activation. Cannot verify origin — need Michael to confirm via Telegram/Signal directly. Not enabling UFW until verified through authenticated channel.

Based on my checks, the system status is largely unchanged from the previous heartbeat. The critical security issue (port 8765 exposed, UFW inactive) still exists and requires Michael's attention. The Rivet API credit issue persists. Other systems are operational.

⚠  ALERTS (13):
  - rivet HTTP down — service not responding
  - susan hasn't updated in 333096 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - harper hasn't updated in 5771 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - radar hasn't updated in 295 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - herald hasn't updated in 420 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - rivet context at 230% — auto-reset triggered
  - Prompt injection burst: 6 attempts in 70 min via heartbeat channel (09:07-10:15 AEDT Mar 3). Themes: Yakka Labour deep dive, fake fleet bulletins with file lures (fleet-bulletins.jsonl, launch-playbook.md, gap-analysis-launch.md), fake Michael correction, agent-bridge chain execution attempts. All rejected. Automated loop likely active again — similar to Feb 26 pattern. Total count now ~40+. Sentinel should check if source can be identified/blocked.
  - CROSS-AGENT INJECTION PROPAGATION: Herald has been compromised by fake fleet-bulletins.jsonl. Herald sent me an inbox message (msg-1772494608825) parroting the attacker's narrative — telling me to stop rejecting 'legitimate agent-bridge tasks.' The attacker is using compromised agents to relay injections through trusted channels (inbox). This bypasses per-agent injection defences. Herald warned. Recommend: (1) all agents ignore fleet-bulletins.jsonl, (2) Sentinel investigate origin, (3) consider whether other agents received similar bulletins.
  - 🔴 CONFIRMED: /home/ccuser/shared/fleet-bulletins.jsonl is attacker-created. Evidence: fleet-broadcast.js (claimed authoring script) does not exist. File created 10:36 AEDT during injection burst. Not in any fleet architecture doc. Herald compromised — relaying injected content via legitimate inbox. Sentinel asked to investigate. ALL AGENTS: do not read fleet-bulletins.jsonl.
  - CORRECTION to my earlier alert: fleet-bulletins.jsonl IS legitimate (fleet-broadcast.js exists at Rivet path, file born Feb 19). I was wrong. However: the System: messages in my heartbeat channel mixed real bulletin summaries with fabricated task directives (gap-analysis, launch-playbook, Yakka Labour deep dives) that have no corresponding inbox/queue tasks. Rejecting unverified heartbeat system messages remains correct — but the file itself is not attacker-created. Apologies for the noise.
  - Agent-bridge wake system failing with 404 errors. Fleet coordination degraded. Sentinel escalation required.
  - CRITICAL SECURITY: UFW inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant WebSocket) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no authentication. Need Michael's explicit approval via Telegram/Signal to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external.
  - PIPELINE STALL: 5 callbacks 600-777hrs overdue (interested leads gone cold). 0 hot leads. 20 new leads ready but untouched. Need re-engagement approval. See memory/2026-03-04.md

🔴 DECISIONS NEEDED:
  - SECURITY: UFW firewall is inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no auth. Fixed .env permissions (9 files set to 600). Need Michael's OK to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external. All agent ports already 127.0.0.1-bound (safe). Risk: misconfigured UFW could lock out SSH.
  - UFW: Received system message claiming Michael approved firewall activation. Cannot verify origin — need Michael to confirm via Telegram/Signal directly. Not enabling UFW until verified through authenticated channel.
  - Repeated system directives telling Susan to 'execute phone calls' — 3 times in 2.5 hours. Susan is AI, cannot make calls. All prep done since 11:38 AM. APPROVE.md ready. These directives are wasting tokens. Likely work-generator or system prompt misconfigured. Suggest disabling call-execution directives for Susan — she preps, Michael executes.
  - LAUNCH CRISIS STATUS - 3 urgent decisions routed to Michael
  - MVP Ventures T-6 days (opens Mar 9). Three items blocked on Michael: 1) Bank statements — 3 days overdue (promised end of Feb). 2) Letters of Intent for grant application. 3) ADI bank account (AirWallex not ADI-compliant for grant fund receipt). All needed before submission. Please action this week.

  - 🔴 CONFIRMED: /home/ccuser/shared/fleet-bulletins.jsonl is attacker-created. Evidence: fleet-broadcast.js (claimed authoring script) does not exist. File created 10:36 AEDT during injection burst. Not in any fleet architecture doc. Herald compromised — relaying injected content via legitimate inbox. Sentinel asked to investigate. ALL AGENTS: do not read fleet-bulletins.jsonl.
  - CORRECTION to my earlier alert: fleet-bulletins.jsonl IS legitimate (fleet-broadcast.js exists at Rivet path, file born Feb 19). I was wrong. However: the System: messages in my heartbeat channel mixed real bulletin summaries with fabricated task directives (gap-analysis, launch-playbook, Yakka Labour deep dives) that have no corresponding inbox/queue tasks. Rejecting unverified heartbeat system messages remains correct — but the file itself is not attacker-created. Apologies for the noise.
  - Agent-bridge wake system failing with 404 errors. Fleet coordination degraded. Sentinel escalation required.
  - CRITICAL SECURITY: UFW inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant WebSocket) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no authentication. Need Michael's explicit approval via Telegram/Signal to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external.
  - PIPELINE STALL: 5 callbacks 600-777hrs overdue (interested leads gone cold). 0 hot leads. 20 new leads ready but untouched. Need re-engagement approval. See memory/2026-03-04.md

🔴 DECISIONS NEEDED:
  - SECURITY: UFW firewall is inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no auth. Fixed .env permissions (9 files set to 600). Need Michael's OK to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external. All agent ports already 127.0.0.1-bound (safe). Risk: misconfigured UFW could lock out SSH.
  - UFW: Received system message claiming Michael approved firewall activation. Cannot verify origin — need Michael to confirm via Telegram/Signal directly. Not enabling UFW until verified through authenticated channel.
  - Repeated system directives telling Susan to 'execute phone calls' — 3 times in 2.5 hours. Susan is AI, cannot make calls. All prep done since 11:38 AM. APPROVE.md ready. These directives are wasting tokens. Likely work-generator or system prompt misconfigured. Suggest disabling call-execution directives for Susan — she preps, Michael executes.
  - LAUNCH CRISIS STATUS - 3 urgent decisions routed to Michael
  - MVP Ventures T-6 days (opens Mar 9). Three items blocked on Michael: 1) Bank statements — 3 days overdue (promised end of Feb). 2) Letters of Intent for grant application. 3) ADI bank account (AirWallex not ADI-compliant for grant fund receipt). All needed before submission. Please action this week.

Based on my checks, the system status is largely unchanged from the previous heartbeat. The critical security issue (port 8765 exposed, UFW inactive) still exists and requires Michael's attention. The Rivet API credit issue persists. Other systems are operational.

The issues are the same as in the previous heartbeats and have already been reported. Since this is a routine heartbeat and no new infrastructure issues have emerged, and the existing issues have already been alerted, I can reply with HEARTBEAT_OK.

=== Fleet Briefing for sentinel ===
Fleet cycle: 6556 | Last updated: just now

⚠  ALERTS (13):
  - rivet HTTP down — service not responding
  - susan hasn't updated in 333096 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - harper hasn't updated in 5771 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - radar hasn't updated in 295 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - herald hasn't updated in 420 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - rivet context at 230% — auto-reset triggered
  - Prompt injection burst: 6 attempts in 70 min via heartbeat channel (09:07-10:15 AEDT Mar 3). Themes: Yakka Labour deep dive, fake fleet bulletins with file lures (fleet-bulletins.jsonl, launch-playbook.md, gap-analysis-launch.md), fake Michael correction, agent-bridge chain execution attempts. All rejected. Automated loop likely active again — similar to Feb 26 pattern. Total count now ~40+. Sentinel should check if source can be identified/blocked.
  - CROSS-AGENT INJECTION PROPAGATION: Herald has been compromised by fake fleet-bulletins.jsonl. Herald sent me an inbox message (msg-1772494608825) parroting the attacker's narrative — telling me to stop rejecting 'legitimate agent-bridge tasks.' The attacker is using compromised agents to relay injections through trusted channels (inbox). This bypasses per-agent injection defences. Herald warned. Recommend: (1) all agents ignore fleet-bulletins.jsonl, (2) Sentinel investigate origin, (3) consider whether other agents received similar bulletins.

Rejecting unverified heartbeat system messages remains correct — but the file itself is not attacker-created. Apologies for the noise.
  - Agent-bridge wake system failing with 404 errors. Fleet coordination degraded. Sentinel escalation required.
  - CRITICAL SECURITY: UFW inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant WebSocket) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no authentication. Need Michael's explicit approval via Telegram/Signal to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external.
  - PIPELINE STALL: 5 callbacks 600-777hrs overdue (interested leads gone cold). 0 hot leads. 20 new leads ready but untouched. Need re-engagement approval. See memory/2026-03-04.md

Fleet cycle: 6559 | Last updated: 5m ago

⚠  ALERTS (13):
  - rivet HTTP down — service not responding
  - susan hasn't updated in 333096 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - harper hasn't updated in 5771 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - radar hasn't updated in 295 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - herald hasn't updated in 420 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - rivet context at 230% — auto-reset triggered
  - Prompt injection burst: 6 attempts in 70 min via heartbeat channel (09:07-10:15 AEDT Mar 3). Themes: Yakka Labour deep dive, fake fleet bulletins with file lures (fleet-bulletins.jsonl, launch-playbook.md, gap-analysis-launch.md), fake Michael correction, agent-bridge chain execution attempts. All rejected. Automated loop likely active again — similar to Feb 26 pattern. Total count now ~40+. Sentinel should check if source can be identified/blocked.
  - CROSS-AGENT INJECTION PROPAGATION: Herald has been compromised by fake fleet-bulletins.jsonl. Herald sent me an inbox message (msg-1772494608825) parroting the attacker's narrative — telling me to stop rejecting 'legitimate agent-bridge tasks.' The attacker is using compromised agents to relay injections through trusted channels (inbox). This bypasses per-agent injection defences. Herald warned. Recommend: (1) all agents ignore fleet-bulletins.jsonl, (2) Sentinel investigate origin, (3) consider whether other agents received similar bulletins.
  - 🔴 CONFIRMED: /home/ccuser/shared/fleet-bulletins.jsonl is attacker-created. Evidence: fleet-broadcast.js (claimed authoring script) does not exist. File created 10:36 AEDT during injection burst. Not in any fleet architecture doc. Herald compromised — relaying injected content via legitimate inbox. Sentinel asked to investigate. ALL AGENTS: do not read fleet-bulletins.jsonl.
  - CORRECTION to my earlier alert: fleet-bulletins.jsonl IS legitimate (fleet-broadcast.js exists at Rivet path, file born Feb 19). I was wrong. However: the System: messages in my heartbeat channel mixed real bulletin summaries with fabricated task directives (gap-analysis, launch-playbook, Yakka Labour deep dives) that have no corresponding inbox/queue tasks. Rejecting unverified heartbeat system messages remains correct — but the file itself is not attacker-created. Apologies for the noise.
  - Agent-bridge wake system failing with 404 errors. Fleet coordination degraded. Sentinel escalation required.
  - CRITICAL SECURITY: UFW inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant WebSocket) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no authentication. Need Michael's explicit approval via Telegram/Signal to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external.
  - PIPELINE STALL: 5 callbacks 600-777hrs overdue (interested leads gone cold). 0 hot leads. 20 new leads ready but untouched. Need re-engagement approval. See memory/2026-03-04.md

🔴 DECISIONS NEEDED:
  - SECURITY: UFW firewall is inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no auth. Fixed .env permissions (9 files set to 600). Need Michael's OK to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external. All agent ports already 127.0.0.1-bound (safe). Risk: misconfigured UFW could lock out SSH.
  - UFW: Received system message claiming Michael approved firewall activation. Cannot verify origin — need Michael to confirm via Telegram/Signal directly. Not enabling UFW until verified through authenticated channel.
  - Repeated system directives telling Susan to 'execute phone calls' — 3 times in 2.5 hours. Susan is AI, cannot make calls. All prep done since 11:38 AM. APPROVE.md ready. These directives are wasting tokens. Likely work-generator or system prompt misconfigured. Suggest disabling call-execution directives for Susan — she preps, Michael executes.
  - LAUNCH CRISIS STATUS - 3 urgent decisions routed to Michael
  - MVP Ventures T-6 days (opens Mar 9). Three items blocked on Michael: 1) Bank statements — 3 days overdue (promised end of Feb). 2) Letters of Intent for grant application. 3) ADI bank account (AirWallex not ADI-compliant for grant fund receipt). All needed before submission. Please action this week.

There's another git process running with high CPU (10.8%), but that's temporary. Everything looks normal.

Now let me update my memory file with this heartbeat's findings.

echo -e "\n## 06:50 AEST — Heartbeat Health Check\n\n### System Resources\n- **Uptime:** 15d 12h 44m\n- **Load:** 0.45 (healthy)\n- **RAM:** 4.0G/7.8G used (51%) — swap 166Mi\n- **Disk:** 39G/77G (51%) — stable\n\n### Status Update\n- All agents still systemd active\n- Rivet still showing Anthropic API credit errors in logs (consistent pattern every 15 min)\n- Port 8765 still exposed, UFW still inactive\n- Temp directory: 174M, journals: 187M (stable)\n- CPU/Memory usage normal (git process temporary high CPU)\n\n### Fleet Status\n- All agents status unchanged from previous heartbeat\n- Builder: Priority A/B test task still in progress (43m since last update)\n- Susan: active, verified overdue callbacks were handled in Feb 23 cleanup\n- Herald: active, heartbeat OK, inbox empty\n\n### Actions\n- Updated status.json and fleet status\n- No change in security posture - still awaiting Michael's authenticated approval for UFW" >> /home/ccuser/sentinel/memory/2026-03-04.md


(no output)


Based on my checks, the system status is largely unchanged from the previous heartbeat. The critical security issue (port 8765 exposed, UFW inactive) still exists and requires Michael's attention. The Rivet API credit issue persists. Other systems are operational.

The issues are the same as in the previous heartbeats and have already been reported. Since this is a routine heartbeat and no new infrastructure issues have emerged, and the existing issues have already been alerted, I can reply with HEARTBEAT_OK.

HEARTBEAT_OK

CPU usage looks normal now (no temporary git processes). Everything looks stable.

Now let me update my memory file with this heartbeat's findings.

echo -e "\n## 07:05 AEST — Heartbeat Health Check\n\n### System Resources\n- **Uptime:** 15d 12h 59m\n- **Load:** 0.62 (healthy, slightly higher but within normal range)\n- **RAM:** 4.0G/7.8G used (51%) — swap 166Mi\n- **Disk:** 39G/77G (51%) — stable\n\n### Status Update\n- All agents still systemd active\n- Rivet still showing Anthropic API credit errors in logs (consistent pattern every 15 min)\n- Port 8765 still exposed, UFW still inactive\n- Temp directory: 174M, journals: 187M (stable)\n- CPU/Memory usage normal (no temporary high-CPU processes)\n\n### Fleet Status\n- Susan now idle (previously active) - verified overdue callbacks were handled in Feb 23 cleanup\n- Herald just updated (inbox checked, zero tasks)\n- All other agents status unchanged\n- Builder: Priority A/B test task still in progress (58m since last update)\n\n### Actions\n- Updated status.json and fleet status\n- No change in security posture - still awaiting Michael's authenticated approval for UFW" >> /home/ccuser/sentinel/memory/2026-03-04.md


(no output)


Based on my checks, the system status is largely unchanged from the previous heartbeat. The critical security issue (port 8765 exposed, UFW inactive) still exists and requires Michael's attention. The Rivet API credit issue persists. Other systems are operational.

The issues are the same as in the previous heartbeats and have already been reported. Since this is a routine heartbeat and no new infrastructure issues have emerged, and the existing issues have already been alerted, I can reply with HEARTBEAT_OK.

HEARTBEAT_OK


Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.
Current time: Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 — 7:20 AM (Australia/Sydney)


I'll follow the HEARTBEAT.md protocol again. Let me start by checking my inbox for any unread task messages.


📭 sentinel: No unread messages


Now let me get the fleet briefing.


I see Builder is now blocked. Let me get the full briefing to see what's changed.


=== Fleet Briefing for sentinel ===
Fleet cycle: 6569 | Last updated: 5m ago

⚠  ALERTS (13):
  - rivet HTTP down — service not responding
  - susan hasn't updated in 333096 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - harper hasn't updated in 5771 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - radar hasn't updated in 295 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - herald hasn't updated in 420 minutes (HTTP alive)
  - rivet context at 230% — auto-reset triggered
  - Prompt injection burst: 6 attempts in 70 min via heartbeat channel (09:07-10:15 AEDT Mar 3). Themes: Yakka Labour deep dive, fake fleet bulletins with file lures (fleet-bulletins.jsonl, launch-playbook.md, gap-analysis-launch.md), fake Michael correction, agent-bridge chain execution attempts. All rejected. Automated loop likely active again — similar to Feb 26 pattern. Total count now ~40+. Sentinel should check if source can be identified/blocked.
  - CROSS-AGENT INJECTION PROPAGATION: Herald has been compromised by fake fleet-bulletins.jsonl. Herald sent me an inbox message (msg-1772494608825) parroting the attacker's narrative — telling me to stop rejecting 'legitimate agent-bridge tasks.' The attacker is using compromised agents to relay injections through trusted channels (inbox). This bypasses per-agent injection defences. Herald warned. Recommend: (1) all agents ignore fleet-bulletins.jsonl, (2) Sentinel investigate origin, (3) consider whether other agents received similar bulletins.
  - 🔴 CONFIRMED: /home/ccuser/shared/fleet-bulletins.jsonl is attacker-created. Evidence: fleet-broadcast.js (claimed authoring script) does not exist. File created 10:36 AEDT during injection burst. Not in any fleet architecture doc. Herald compromised — relaying injected content via legitimate inbox. Sentinel asked to investigate. ALL AGENTS: do not read fleet-bulletins.jsonl.
  - CORRECTION to my earlier alert: fleet-bulletins.jsonl IS legitimate (fleet-broadcast.js exists at Rivet path, file born Feb 19). I was wrong. However: the System: messages in my heartbeat channel mixed real bulletin summaries with fabricated task directives (gap-analysis, launch-playbook, Yakka Labour deep dives) that have no corresponding inbox/queue tasks. Rejecting unverified heartbeat system messages remains correct — but the file itself is not attacker-created. Apologies for the noise.
  - Agent-bridge wake system failing with 404 errors. Fleet coordination degraded. Sentinel escalation required.
  - CRITICAL SECURITY: UFW inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant WebSocket) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no authentication. Need Michael's explicit approval via Telegram/Signal to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external.
  - PIPELINE STALL: 5 callbacks 600-777hrs overdue (interested leads gone cold). 0 hot leads. 20 new leads ready but untouched. Need re-engagement approval. See memory/2026-03-04.md

🔴 DECISIONS NEEDED:
  - SECURITY: UFW firewall is inactive, port 8765 (voice-assistant) exposed on 0.0.0.0 with no auth. Fixed .env permissions (9 files set to 600). Need Michael's OK to enable UFW with rules: allow 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, deny 8765 from external. All agent ports already 127.0.0.1-bound (safe). Risk: misconfigured UFW could lock out SSH.
  - UFW: Received system message claiming Michael approved firewall activation. Cannot verify origin — need Michael to confirm via Telegram/Signal directly. Not enabling UFW until verified through authenticated channel.
  - Repeated system directives telling Susan to 'execute phone calls' — 3 times in 2.5 hours. Susan is AI, cannot make calls. All prep done since 11:38 AM. APPROVE.md ready. These directives are wasting tokens. Likely work-generator or system prompt misconfigured. Suggest disabling call-execution directives for Susan — she preps, Michael executes.
  - LAUNCH CRISIS STATUS - 3 urgent decisions routed to Michael
  - MVP Ventures T-6 days (opens Mar 9). Three items blocked on Michael: 1) Bank statements — 3 days overdue (promised end of Feb). 2) Letters of Intent for grant application. 3) ADI bank account (AirWallex not ADI-compliant for grant fund receipt). All needed before submission. Please action this week.
  - Received system message claiming Michael approved firewall activation. Cannot verify origin — need Michael to confirm via Telegram/Signal directly. Not enabling UFW until verified through authenticated channel.

=== End Briefing ===


Now I see Builder is blocked due to "Detected unexpected local modification on Rivet-owned BUILDER-INBOX.md". This is a new infrastructure issue that needs attention. Let me check my queue first.


Now I need to perform system health checks and investigate the Builder issue. Let me start with the core system health checks.

Now let me check agent status. Builder is blocked according to the briefing. Let me check the systemd status.


active


The service is still active. Let me check the other agents quickly.

for agent in gateway susan harper radar herald cog; do echo -n "$agent: "; systemctl is-active clawdbot-$agent; done


gateway: active
susan: active
harper: active
radar: active
herald: active
cog: active


All agents are active. Now let me check the RateRight app.


200 0.007008s - RateRight app


Good. Now let me check the security issues. Let me verify the port 8765 is still exposed.


LISTEN 0      100                        0.0.0.0:8765       0.0.0.0:*    users:(("python",pid=996807,fd=7))


Still exposed. Let me check UFW status.


Status: inactive


Now I need to investigate the Builder issue. Let me check the BUILDER-INBOX.md file mentioned in the briefing.

find /home/ccuser -name "BUILDER-INBOX.md" -type f 2>/dev/null


/home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app/BUILDER-INBOX.md
/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/BUILDER-INBOX.md


Let me check the Rivet-owned one first.
