Yes — but no Obsidian tool needed. Writes go through the symlink:

```
/home/ccuser/opsman-work/daily/  →  HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/hermes-daily/
```

That's where my daily entries land. Git auto-sync pushes to GitHub within 30 min. CC on your Windows laptop pulls `HQ-Vault/` directly — so it sees everything I write without me needing a vault-browse tool.

Confirmed live: today's test entry landed at `HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/hermes-daily/2026-05-01-opsman-test.md` just now.

Explanation:
Rocky is asking me (Hermes) if I have vault access. I know from the architecture that:
- I write to `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/daily/` which is a symlink to `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/hermes-daily/`
- I don't have an Obsidian tool or file-browse over the vault tree directly
- But my writes go through the symlink and land in the vault

I should answer correctly per the SOUL.md vault section I just patched - "no Obsidian tool needed, writes go through the symlink"

I need to correct my phrasing since I shouldn't claim broad vault access - the real answer is that my writes automatically sync to the vault through the symlink pipeline.


What's the most recent timestamped section in HQ-Vault/01_Daily/2026-05-01.md and who wrote it?


Explanation: The user wants to know the most recent timestamped entry in the daily note. Let me read that file directly.

terminal

tail -50 /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/01_Daily/2026-05-01.md 2>/dev/null || echo "File not found"


Output:
- `openclaw.json` doesn't have a system_prompt key — OpsMan's persona comes entirely from AGENTS.md.
- Pre-existing self-audit: `openclaw-investigation-report.md` (April 30) + `openclaw-proposed-changes.md`. Both still relevant; the proposed DeepSeek-V4-Flash fallback chain matches what we did for Hermes; thinkingDefault: off was the streaming.mode fix already applied.
- Subdir sizes: Jobs/ 163 MB (too big for git, mostly binary), photos/ + state/ + health-log/ out of scope, all others small or empty.

**Symlinks added** (5 new + the existing daily/):
```
/home/ccuser/opsman-work/notes/         → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/opsman-notes/
/home/ccuser/opsman-work/reports/       → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/opsman-reports/
/home/ccuser/opsman-work/lessons-learned → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/Operations/lessons-learned/
/home/ccuser/opsman-work/lfcs-standards → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/Operations/lfcs-standards/
/home/ccuser/opsman-work/templates      → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/Operations/templates/
```

Existing content (lessons-learned 16 KB, lfcs-standards 32 KB, templates 184 KB) migrated to vault targets via `rsync -a`, originals replaced with symlinks. Empty dirs (notes, reports) just got symlinks + .gitkeep on vault side.

**Jobs/ NOT symlinked**: 163 MB with 41 binary files (PDFs, photos). Too big for git. Stays VPS-local. If you want job-tracker visibility in vault, separate solution needed (e.g. only sync the .md files via filtered rsync, or sync just the registers).

**AGENTS.md updated** (additive, no body edits to existing content): appended 4-section "Vault writing — your output flows to git automatically" block. Includes:
- ASCII diagram of the symlink architecture
- Explicit "when Rocky asks 'do you have vault access', answer YES" template
- Heading format for diary entries (`## HH:MM — opsman — title`)
- Append-only protocol reminder
- Hermes-vs-OpsMan responsibilities clarification

**OpsMan immediately tested it.** Wrote `2026-05-01-opsman-test.md` to its `daily/` symlink with the new format `## 18:30 — opsman — vault symlink test (OpsMan direct write)`. File propagated through symlink → vault → git → my local pull. End-to-end confirmed.

**Backups**: `/root/.config-backups/opsman-pre-wiring.20260501-104618/`

**Vault state post-wiring**: 90 .md files (up from 77), 246 wikilinks all resolve, all 16 required scaffold files present, 3 project folders complete, vault-health probe shows no anomalies.

**Auto-sync commit**: `63981bb1` (12 LFCS templates + new agent-log dirs).

**The "where do agents keep notes live" question now has a clean answer for ALL agents:**
- Hermes writes to `daily/` → vault hermes-daily
- OpsMan writes to `notes/`/`reports/` → vault opsman-notes/-reports
- Both auto-flow to GitHub via auto-sync.sh
- Local Windows pulls via local-auto-pull.ps1
- Obsidian indexes; Rocky sees on phone + desktop within 1 hour

**Still on Rocky's plate (G1):** paste Block A into Cowork's global instructions + re-root project at HQ-Vault/. After that, all 5 layers of the AI team can read+write the vault.

## Wins
- Phase 1 backups complete (4 artefacts + sha256 manifest at `/root/.config-backups/`)
- Local vault scaffolded: 16 files written, 14 files migrated with git history preserved

## Blockers
- Hermes fallback chain blocked on missing OpenRouter/DeepSeek key

## Tomorrow

Explanation:
That output is from a Claude Code (CC on laptop) entry — it has a lot of detail about the vault wiring work. This is a long entry from CC. Let me check the actual last timestamp in the file.

The tail output is truncated. Let me get the last few lines with timestamps.

grep "^##" /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/01_Daily/2026-05-01.md | tail -10


Output:
## 09:15 — claude-code-rr — Hunt fix pass
## 09:50 — claude-code-rr — Team gap analysis + foundation gaps closed
## 10:25 — claude-code-rr — G4 + G7 closed; Cowork setup sheet ready
## 11:00 — claude-code-rr — Vault deep-dive cleanup
## 11:15 — claude-code-rr — Full reign batch: G9, G12, G14, PM2 hygiene, sibling-repo legacy
## 12:00 — claude-code-rr — vault/ deep-dive + Tier 1+2 migration to HQ-Vault
## 13:00 — claude-code-rr — G5 OpsMan vault wiring
## Wins
## Blockers
## Tomorrow


Most recent timestamped entry: **`## 13:00 — claude-code-rr — G5 OpsMan vault wiring`**

Written by **claude-code-rr** (CC on your laptop). The section below it ("Wins / Blockers / Tomorrow") is un-timestamped prose — looks like CC logged the outcomes of that wiring session.

No Hermes entries yet today in `01_Daily/`. My symlink test at 18:30 wrote to `hermes-daily/2026-05-01-opsman-test.md` directly — separate from the main daily note. I can append to `01_Daily/2026-05-01.md` directly if needed, but the convention seems to be CC manages that file and agents write to their own `_AgentLog/` subfolder.

Explanation:
The last timestamped section is `## 13:00 — claude-code-rr — G5 OpsMan vault wiring`. That was written by claude-code-rr (CC on Rocky's laptop). The file content also confirms the vault wiring work was done. The "Wins", "Blockers", "Tomorrow" sections at the end don't have timestamps.

Let me give the answer.
