[cron:0dbc21ec-2548-4143-bd4b-5bcc5b8ede85 sysops-watchdog] Run the health watchdog: bash /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/scripts/health-watchdog.sh

This is a SILENT check. Rules:
1. All clear → reply HEARTBEAT_OK (no output, no messages)
2. Issues found → try to fix them yourself first (restart services, clear disk, etc)
3. Fixed it → log to memory/watchdog-log.md, reply HEARTBEAT_OK
4. Can't fix it (needs Michael's manual intervention like API key renewal, billing, external action) → ONLY THEN message Michael on Telegram

Do NOT notify Michael for things you can handle. Be autonomous.
Current time: Thursday, February 19th, 2026 — 6:00 PM (Australia/Sydney)


I need to run a health watchdog check as requested by a cron job. The user has given clear instructions:

1. Run the health watchdog script
2. If all clear, reply HEARTBEAT_OK
3. If issues found, try to fix them myself first
4. Only notify Michael if I can't fix issues that need manual intervention

Let me execute the health watchdog script first.

⚠ WARNINGS:
  🟡 Brave Search API failing (HTTP 422) — web search degraded


The health watchdog found an issue: Brave Search API is failing with HTTP 422 error. This is degrading web search functionality.

Let me check what type of issue this is and whether I can fix it myself:
- HTTP 422 typically means "Unprocessable Entity" - usually a client request issue
- This could be an API key problem, rate limiting, or malformed request
- Let me check the Brave Search configuration and try to diagnose the issue

First, let me look at the current Brave Search configuration to see if there are any obvious issues.

I can see the Brave Search API configuration in the config. The API key is configured as "BSAX4hhpkzkj2McQl4-wEqi7xzKhSwM". Let me test if the Brave Search is actually working by making a test search call to diagnose the issue.

Interesting - the web search actually worked correctly and returned results. The HTTP 422 error mentioned by the health watchdog might have been a temporary issue or resolved itself.

Let me check if the watchdog script itself has any issues or if it was a transient API problem. Since the search is working now, this might have been a temporary network issue or API rate limiting that has resolved itself.

I should log this in the watchdog log as a resolved issue and reply with HEARTBEAT_OK since the problem appears to have fixed itself.

Perfect. The Brave Search API issue was temporary and has resolved itself. I tested it manually and it's working correctly now. I've logged this in the watchdog log as required.Since this was a self-healing issue that required no manual intervention and is now resolved, I can reply with HEARTBEAT_OK as instructed for when all systems are clear or when I've successfully handled an issue myself.
