[cron:5519535c-223e-4ce0-93c9-54952c714efd daily-hard-questions] Generate fresh hard questions for Michael BEFORE the upcoming voice call. Use model anthropic/claude-opus-4-5.

DETECT CONTEXT:
- If current time is ~6 AM: Generate MORNING questions (focus on: what's ahead today, what he should prioritize, what he's avoiding)
- If current time is ~5 PM: Generate EVENING questions (focus on: what happened today, what didn't get done, why)

1. /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/TODO.md
2. /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/COMPANY.md
3. /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/memory/2026-*.md (today + yesterday's daily files)
4. Check if morning or evening based on timestamp

GENERATE:
- 3-5 hard questions specific to RIGHT NOW
- Morning: "What are you avoiding today?" / "What's the one thing that would make today a win?"
- Evening: "What did you say you'd do today that you didn't?" / "What are you kicking down the road?"

FORMAT:
Write to /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/memory/todays-hard-questions.md with timestamp.

Do NOT message Michael.

This is a cron job to generate hard questions for Michael before his morning voice call. It's 6:00 AM, so I need to generate MORNING questions.

# 2026-02-19 Daily Memory - Rivet

## Morning Heartbeat 03:40 AEDT

### Builder Communications
- System audit completed by Builder (62% baseline score)
- Key gaps identified:
  1. Task lifecycle broken (35%) - agents don't claim queue.json tasks
  2. Communication loop broken (45%) - buddy system only restarts, no cross-agent work
  3. Memory inequality (40%) - 4 agents amnesiac (Sentinel, Radar, Cog, Herald)

### Fleet Status
- All 8/8 agents HTTP responsive
- Multiple stale status alerts (false positives from monitoring lag)
- Real fleet coordination needed: make agents productive, not just alive

### Infrastructure
- App: ✅ LIVE (rivet.rateright.com.au)
- Growth Engine: Need to verify status
- All systemd services active
- VPS healthy (infrastructure scored 95% in audit)

### Priorities Today
1. Fix task claiming workflow across all agents
2. Implement real cross-agent communication flows
3. Address memory inequality (help 4 amnesiac agents build memory)
4. Verify Growth Engine API health

## Next Actions
- Check Growth Engine API status
- Create voice brief data file
- Update fleet coordination based on Builder's audit findings

# 2026-02-18 - Fleet Coordination & System Audit

## 22:10 AEDT - Late Evening Heartbeat

**Builder Communications:**
- Received comprehensive system audit: **62% overall health score**
- Top 3 critical gaps identified:
  1. Task lifecycle dead (35%) - agents not claiming queue.json tasks
  2. Communication loop broken (45%) - no meaningful cross-agent work
  3. Memory inequality (40%) - 4 agents practically amnesiac
- Infrastructure solid (95%) - all systems live, agents responsive
- MiniMax crashes resolved, fleet recovery complete

**Fleet Status (22:10):**
- 7/8 agents active, Builder idle (clean state)
- App: LIVE (rivet.rateright.com.au ✅)
- Growth Engine: LIVE (Railway health ✅)
- No urgent escalations needed
- 6 fleet alerts pending review (non-critical)

**Strategic Insights:**
- The 8-agent fleet IS the OpsMan product demo - not overhead to cut
- Builder audit reveals system is functional but not productive
- Need to implement task claiming workflows in agent heartbeats
- Cross-agent communication protocols exist but aren't being used meaningfully

**Next Day Priorities:**
1. Address queue.json task claiming implementation
2. Activate cross-agent communication workflows
3. Fix memory gaps for amnesiac agents (Sentinel, Radar, Cog, Herald)
4. Review the 6 pending fleet alerts

**Context for Morning:** Fleet is healthy but not productive. The infrastructure works, the coordination doesn't. Builder's audit provides the roadmap to turn alive agents into productive agents.

2. **Fleet coordination is broken** - 62% health score. Task claiming 35% broken, cross-agent communication 45% broken
3. **BAS deadline** - February 28 (9 days away) - needs decision
4. **ClickUp cancellation** - still being charged

# Today's Hard Questions — Thursday, February 19, 2026

*Generated: 6:00 AM AEDT | Context: MORNING (before your day starts)*

---

## The Questions

### 1. The app is live. QA is done. What's actually stopping you from switching to rateright.com.au today?

The build is complete. 16/16 bugs fixed. The only thing left on "Launch" is the domain switch and going public. Every day you delay, the fleet burns tokens, Susan's leads go cold, and you're building an operation for a product that isn't being used yet.

---

### 2. Ardi the Turk said "find me a good job" 73 hours ago. Why haven't you?

He's warm. He's ready. He literally asked. Same with Steve O'Donnell — registered on the platform, 73 hours of silence. These aren't cold leads. These are people waiting for you to follow through. What's the actual blocker?

---

### 3. Susan has 7 leads with phone numbers, a complete pipeline report, and rewritten SMS scripts. What are you waiting for to approve her outreach?

You said "Market RateRight" is priority #3 on the master roadmap. The agent is ready. The assets exist. The sequences are paused. This is binary: approve or don't. What's the hesitation?

---

### 4. BAS deadline is February 28 — 9 days. Have you actually confirmed your accountant is handling it?

Harper needs a decision: either you provide Q2 data or you confirm the accountant is lodging. Silence isn't a strategy here. The ATO doesn't care that you're building a startup.

---

### 5. You have 8 agents burning tokens around the clock, but the fleet audit says only 62% of the system actually works. Is this "building the demo" or just deferring hard decisions?

The fleet IS the OpsMan proof of concept — you've said that. But Builder's audit shows task claiming is 35% broken and cross-agent communication is 45% broken. At what point does "it's a demo" become "it's a money pit"? What's the threshold where you'd simplify?

---

## What Would Make Today a Win?

One thing. Pick one:
- [ ] Domain switch to rateright.com.au
- [ ] Call Ardi and Steve (the two hottest leads)
- [ ] Approve Susan's SMS outreach
- [ ] Confirm BAS situation with Harper

*The gym is at 4:15. The job starts at 5:30. The window tonight is 90 minutes. What are you going to do in those 90 minutes that moves the business forward?*
