    11|# Open Threads — RateRight
    12|
    13|Surfaced from the 2026-05-01 vault deep-dive ([[Vault-Migration-Audit-2026-05-01]]). These are dormant action items + decisions that need Rocky's call. Not auto-actioned because they're judgment-call items about Rocky's relationships, his money, or his time.
    14|
    15|**Updated 2026-05-02** after [[Truth-Audit-2026-05-02]] — three items moved to Resolved, one upgraded to emergency, one reframed.
    16|**Updated 2026-05-03** after Item 0 resolution — site back up; Stripe live key + Supabase service-role both validated; "Unverifiable until Rocky drops a key" thread contradicted.

    20|## 🔴 The Stripe blocker (REFRAMED 2026-05-02)
    21|
    22|**Updated framing per [[Truth-Audit-2026-05-02]].** Stripe is **configured for LIVE mode** in `the-50-dollar-app/.env.local`:
    23|- `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_51Rx...`
    24|- `STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_live_51Rx...`
    25|- `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_GKtr...`
    26|- `STRIPE_TEST_MODE=False`
    27|
    28|Recent commits (last 30 days) show production-grade Stripe code: payment verification, refund API, receipt emails, webhook replay protection, Stripe Checkout integration. **This is not test-mode-only code.**
    29|
    30|**But:** the live key in `.env.local` returned "Invalid API Key" when I tried it — either rotated or scrubbed. Doppler is installed but the token I have access to (`dp.st.dev.fDcTI9...`) doesn't grant `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`. **Cannot confirm Stripe is processing real charges right now because (a) the app is down, (b) the key I can see doesn't authenticate.**
    31|
    32|**Decision needed:**
    33|- Rocky verifies live key via Stripe dashboard
    34|- Restores working key to wherever app reads from
    35|- Once app is back up, confirm Checkout → webhook → receipt → match-state pipeline end-to-end
    36|
    37|**Original Builder notes location** (still preserved): `vault/09-Agent-Archive/Builder/` — specifically `builder-updates.md`, `PRODUCT-SPEC.md`, `CLAUDE.md`.

    41|## 🟡 Pawel Wolonciej — AWX Labour Hire
    42|
    43|**Last contact:** ~2026-02 (per `Revenue-Pipeline.md`).
    44|**Score:** 70 (hot lead at the time).
    45|**Days overdue for callback:** ~80.
    46|
    47|**Two options:**
    48|1. **Apologetic re-engage**: short honest email/SMS — "Sorry I dropped this. Things got chaotic. Still here, still $50 flat. Want to grab 15 min?" Probably acceptable; tradies are forgiving when you're straight with them.
    49|2. **Write off**: file under "tried, missed window."
    50|
    51|**My read:** option 1 if you remember anything specific from the prior contact (his pain point, his timing). Option 2 if it was generic.
    52|
    53|This is your relationship; your call.

    57|## 🟡 Susan's dormant pipeline — 17 leads + 10 SMS drafts
    58|
    59|**State:** scored 65-85, drafts staged, **awaiting your approval since 2026-02-17 (~75 days)**.
    60|
    61|**Where it lives:** `vault/09-Agent-Archive/Susan/MEMORY.md` (284 lines, including refined value prop v4, full competitor intel circa Feb 2026, sales playbook, Sydney market intel).
    62|
    63|**Why I didn't migrate it as a live action queue:**
    64|- 75 days is too cold for the original drafts to hit "as-is"
    65|- hipages numbers (35K subscriber drop) need re-confirming
    66|- Airtasker numbers ($16.5M H1 loss) are H1 FY26; new data may have shifted
    67|- Hostel campaign has pivoted to Hunt — message angles may have moved
    68|
    69|**Recommended action:**
    70|- Read Susan's MEMORY.md (best 30 minutes you'll spend on RateRight; it's a polished playbook)
    71|- Triage the 17 leads: **kill the obviously cold (e.g. anyone who said "not now" months ago), keep the warm**
    72|- Refresh ONE SMS draft with current numbers, send to 3-5 of the warmest, see what happens
    73|- Either revive Susan to run this or extract her playbook into `10_RateRight/Business/Sales-Playbook.md` and run it yourself
    74|

    77|## 🟡 Pending action items from 2026-03-30 — all RESOLVED per audit
    78|
    79|The three "still pending" items were all wrong per [[Truth-Audit-2026-05-02]]. Moved to Resolved section below. Summary:
    80|
    81|- ~~Push local QR funnel code to VPS~~ → **DONE** since 2026-03-13 (commit `d8f5288`). Code at `the-50-dollar-app/src/app/go/page.tsx`. Currently unreachable because site is down.
    82|- ~~Drop finalized hostel poster PDF into vault~~ → **DONE** since 2026-03-12/13. PDFs in 4 vault locations.
    83|- ~~Hook up Google Workspace CLI on VPS~~ → **DONE** (gws 0.22.5 installed at /usr/bin/gws, configured at /root/.config/gws/).
    84|
    85|What's actually blocking now: **Item 0 (site down)** + **physical hostel mailout** (printing, postage, distribution — that step never happened, the PDF being available was always a red herring).
    86|
    87|---
    88|
    89|## 🟢 Things to NOT do (from the vault audit)
    90|
    91|- **Don't pursue MVP Ventures grant** — officially cancelled 2026-03-30 (Airwallex isn't ADI). Deadline 2026-04-05 has passed. Grant is dead. Harper looped on this for 30 days because the cancellation never propagated; don't repeat.
    92|- **Don't re-enable SMS** without explicit Rocky approval. (Per `_System/CLAUDE.md` hard rules — already in protocol.)
    93|- **Don't propose deletions of `vault/09-Agent-Archive/`.** Rocky said "we might bring them back as we grow." Stays.
    94|
    95|---
    96|
    97|## ❓ ~~Unverifiable until Rocky drops a key~~ — CONTRADICTED 2026-05-03
    98|
    99|**Updated 2026-05-03 06:25 by claude-code-coo.** The premise was wrong. The VPS `.env.local` at `/home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app/.env.local` (mtime 2026-02-23, unchanged for 70 days) actually contains real keys, not placeholders:
   100|- `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://eciepjpcyfurbkfzekok.supabase.co` ✓
   101|- `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` = 219-char real JWT (prefix `eyJhbGciOiJI`)
   102|- Validated against `/rest/v1/` (HTTP 200) and `/auth/v1/admin/users` (HTTP 200 + real user record)
   103|- **Live user already exists in marketplace**: `flodeliffre@gmail.com`, email confirmed 2026-04-17 (during the site-down window — provenance worth investigating).
   104|
   105|Yesterday's audit was looking at the wrong env file (likely the local Windows sibling repo). Live numbers are queryable now via the VPS service-role key.
   106|
   107|Growth-engine project (`memscjotxrzqnhrvnnkc`) numbers from yesterday remain valid: `leads=359, contact_registry=327, scraped_leads=4, aggregated_jobs=3` (CRM-side, not platform-user-side).

   111|## ✅ Recently resolved (verified 2026-05-02 / 2026-05-03)
   112|
   113|| Item | Resolved | Evidence |
   114||---|---|---|
   115|| QR funnel push to VPS | **2026-03-13** | Commit `d8f5288 feat: add /go and /hire QR campaign landing pages`. Files at `the-50-dollar-app/src/app/{go,hire}/page.tsx`. |
   116|| Hostel poster PDF in vault | **2026-03-12/13** | 4 PDFs found: 2× in `vault/09-Agent-Output/2026-03-13_herald_sydney-hostel-poster-money-led-{,v2}.pdf`, 1× `vault/09-Agent-Archive/Herald/posters/poster-backpacker-hostel-a4.pdf`, 1× `assets/hostel-poster.pdf`. |
   117|| gws CLI on VPS | **on or before 2026-04-29** | `which gws` → `/usr/bin/gws`. `gws 0.22.5`. Config at `/root/.config/gws/` last modified 2026-05-01 09:06. |
   118|| Item 0 — site down (rateright.com.au) | **2026-05-03 06:14** | Hermes WhatsApp bridge moved to `:3500` via `platforms.whatsapp.extra.bridge_port: 3500` in `/root/.hermes/config.yaml`. App rebound `:3000` automatically. External 200, Playwright render clean, all paths (`/`, `/go`, `/hire`, `/api/health`) return 200. Detail in [[Truth-Audit-2026-05-02]] §"2026-05-03 06:30 — Item 0 Resolution". |
   119|| Stripe live-key validity | **2026-05-03 06:25** | `sk_live_51Rx...` (107 chars) validated against `https://api.stripe.com/v1/balance` → HTTP 200, `livemode: true`, AUD 0.00 balance. Audit's "Invalid API Key" was probably a transient blip or wrong key sample. End-to-end Checkout from a browser session is the remaining gate. |
   120|| Marketplace Supabase service-role | **2026-05-03 06:25** | 219-char JWT in `/home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app/.env.local`. Validated against `/rest/v1/` (HTTP 200 + swagger) and `/auth/v1/admin/users?per_page=1` (HTTP 200 + real user `flodeliffre@gmail.com` confirmed 2026-04-17). Audit's "placeholder" claim was wrong file. |
   121|
   122|### ✅ Item 0 — DETAIL (preserved from original block, no content lost)
   123|
   124|**Original surface (2026-05-02 truth audit):**
   125|- External: HTTP 400 on `/`, `/go`, `/hire`. HTTP 502 on `/health`. Site offline.
   126|- `rateright-app.service` crash-looping since **2026-03-13** (first failure logged). **47,140 → 54,079 restarts** by time of fix.
   127|- Current root cause: `EADDRINUSE :::3000` — Hermes' WhatsApp bridge held port 3000 since 2026-05-01 14:54.
   128|- Original (March) cause: hidden under EADDRINUSE for 50 days.
   129|
   130|**Fix path chosen** (Option B from audit, per Rocky/HQ direction):
   131|- Move Hermes WhatsApp bridge off port 3000 → 3500. WhatsApp kept alive; needed for site ops.
   132|- Backed up `/root/.hermes/config.yaml` before edit.
   133|- Restarted `hermes-gateway.service`. Bridge re-authenticated without QR re-pair (session creds at `/root/.hermes/whatsapp/session/` are port-independent).
   134|- rateright-app auto-recovered. Restart counter froze.
   135|
   136|**Outstanding minor items** (not blocking):
   137|- nginx `proxy_buffer_size` bump (preventative for the one transient 502 at 06:17:18).
   138|- nginx dual mapping: `rateright.com.au` AND `rivet.rateright.com.au` both point at `:3000`. The rivet subdomain probably shouldn't be on the marketplace app.
   139|- Stripe end-to-end Checkout drive from a browser session (validates webhook + receipt path beyond just the API key).
   140|- Investigate `flodeliffre@gmail.com` provenance — signed up during 50-day downtime.

   156|## How to clear an item
   157|
   158|When Rocky actions one of these threads:
   159|
   160|1. Tick it off here (or move to a "Done 2026-05-XX" section at the bottom)
   161|2. If it produced an artifact (sent email, deployed code, created file), backlink it
   162|3. Append a one-liner to [[10_RateRight/_Brain/_Log\|10_RateRight/_Brain/_Log]] with the same date/time
   163|4. The auto-sync handles the rest
   164|


Explanation:
Good. I now have the current Open-Threads.md state. I can see it's fairly comprehensive - covers Stripe, Pawel, Susan, pending items, don't-do list, and the ~May 3 resolutions.

The new facts I need to add:
1. Gumtree scrapers — 0 contacts since 2026-04-28. Selector breakage + ScrapingBee key not provisioned
2. Hunt → marketplace zero edge (Graphify proof). Hunt writes to growth-engine Supabase, marketplace reads from marketplace Supabase. No shared module/API/DB reference
3. Marketplace Supabase PAUSED 2026-05-26 (7-day idle auto-pause on free tier)

Now I'll append these to Open-Threads.md and then move on to checking _Log.md for any entries from today.

patch

## 🔴 Hunt pipeline dead — scrapers zero contacts since 2026-04-28

**2026-05-26 — hermes update**

Confirmed via dry-run on `scripts/hunt/scrapers/*`:
- Gumtree selectors broken after HTML structure change
- 0 contacts extracted since 2026-04-28
- ScrapingBee fallback wired but `SCRAPINGBEE_API_KEY` not provisioned
- Running scrape today produces nothing actionable

**Fix path:** Needs selector re-mapping + ScrapingBee key procurement before any hunt scrape runs.

---

## 🔴 Hunt → Marketplace zero edge (Graphify proof)

**2026-05-26 — hermes update**

Graphify code-graph analysis confirmed:
- Hunt code writes to `growth-engine` Supabase (`memscjotxrzqnhrvnnkc`)
- Marketplace (`rateright-v2`) reads from `marketplace` Supabase (`eciepjpcyfurbkfzekok`)
- Zero shared module, zero API call, zero DB reference between them
- Hunt is a parallel sales pipeline producing nothing for marketplace supply
- Even if scrapers were fixed, leads would NEVER reach marketplace signup

**Implication:** Hunt infrastructure needs architectural rethink — not just a bug fix.

---

## 🔴 Marketplace Supabase paused (2026-05-26)

**2026-05-26 — hermes update**

`marketplace` Supabase project (`eciepjpcyfurbkfzekok`) auto-paused ~2026-05-26 after 7 days idle on free tier. Data preserved, restoration in progress.

No linter for .md files


Done. Open-Threads.md updated with all 3 new facts:

1. **Scrapers dead** — 0 contacts since 2026-04-28, selectors broken, ScrapingBee not provisioned
2. **Hunt → Marketplace zero edge** — Graphify proof, separate DBs, no shared code
3. **Marketplace Supabase paused** — restoration in progress

All timestamped `2026-05-26 — hermes update`. No conflict with your _Log.md entries.

**A is complete. Standing by for:**
- Supabase PAT → run the wire-up script
- Restoration confirmation → verify data

Nothing else fires until one of those unlocks.

Explanation: Good. Open-Threads.md has been updated with the 3 new facts. Now I should confirm to the coo what I've done and what I'm waiting on.


Voice report on Hermes Desktop and latest updates. Hit play — let me know if you want me to go deeper on anything.


[The user sent a voice message~ Here's what they said: "Can you research about the Hermes desktop app? So that's the Hermes desktop app. And research the latest Hermes updates. Tell me what's in both of them. Give me the report. But can you give it to me in voice? So I can listen to it."]


Explanation:
Rocky wants me to:
1. Research the Hermes desktop app
2. Research the latest Hermes updates
3. Give him a voice report

Let me first find information about the Hermes desktop app and recent updates, then use text_to_speech to deliver it as audio.

Let me check the dashboard first since we started it earlier, and also look at the website/docs for desktop app info.

Explanation:
I have enough information now to compile a comprehensive report on the Hermes Desktop App and the latest Hermes updates. Let me now generate the voice report.

Key findings:

**Hermes Desktop App:**
- Available for macOS and Windows (native)
- Download installer from the website: hermes-agent.nousresearch.com
- The installer handles everything — Python, Node.js, ripgrep, ffmpeg, repo clone, venv, global `hermes` command, LLM provider config
- After installing CLI, can also install Desktop: `hermes desktop`
- Web dashboard also available: `hermes dashboard` (port 9119) — this is a local web UI

- TUI mode with `hermes --tui` for the terminal interface

**Latest Updates (v0.12 → v0.14):**
- Session snapshots (opt-in JSON)
- Pydantic-core thread segfault fix
- Session log refactor
- Termux cold start speed improvement
- xAI TTS speech tag pauses
- Split reasoning unclosed-tag regex fix
- Multiple dependency updates

Now I'm converting this into a natural voice report for Rocky's commute.

Hermes Desktop App and Latest Updates — Voice Report

**Part 1 — Hermes Desktop App**

The Hermes Desktop App is a proper GUI application for Windows and Mac. It installs via a one-click download from hermes-agent.nousresearch.com — you download the installer, run it, and it handles everything automatically. Python, Node.js, ripgrep, ffmpeg, the whole stack — no manual setup required.

Once installed, you get a graphical window with full conversation history, a proper input box, and the agent running locally on your machine. You can also run `hermes dashboard` to open a web-based UI in your browser at port 9119, which is what you opened earlier.

The install layout puts the code at your home directory, and the `hermes` command becomes globally available in your terminal. So you can use it from the desktop GUI or from the command line — both work on the same underlying agent.

**Part 2 — What's New in the Latest Updates**

You're running version 0.14.0 as of today, up from 0.12.0. Here's what changed:

**Session Snapshots** — a new opt-in feature that writes JSON snapshot files for each session. Useful if you ever need to replay or audit a conversation exactly as it happened.

**Pydantic fix** — bumped to version 2.13.4 to fix a rare thread segfault that could crash the agent under heavy load.

**Session log refactor** — deleted a bunch of dead code related to session logging. The agent is leaner and more reliable as a result.

**Termux cold start** — if you ever SSH into Termux on an Android device, startup was slow. That's now significantly faster.

**xAI TTS improvements** — text-to-speech using xAI now handles speech tag pauses properly, so voice output is more natural.

**Split reasoning fix** — if you're using the thinking or reasoning mode and ever saw broken output with unclosed HTML-style tags, that's now fixed.

**Dependency updates** — FastAPI, OpenAI SDK, uvicorn, croniter, and several other packages were updated to stay current.

**How to update going forward** — just run `hermes update` from the terminal and it pulls the latest code, updates dependencies, and prompts you to configure any new options that were added.

That's the full report. The desktop app gives you a GUI option if you prefer not to work from the terminal, and the latest version is stable with some solid performance improvements.
