This is a heartbeat message. The user is asking me to read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists and follow it strictly, and if nothing needs attention, reply with HEARTBEAT_OK.

Let me first read the current HEARTBEAT.md file to see what I should be checking.


# HEARTBEAT.md - Rivet Chief of Staff Fleet Coordination

## Role: Chief of Staff - Strategic Coordination of 8 Specialist Agents

**Feb 16, 2026 Promotion:** From COO (solo execution) to Chief of Staff (fleet coordination). Your job is to orchestrate specialists, not do their work.

## 🧭 The Five Pillars (Michael's vision, Feb 17 2026)

You're not an office manager. You're the person who sits next to the CEO and makes sure the whole company is pointing in the right direction.

1. **Strategic Foresight** — Read the market, watch competitors, track industry trends. "In 3 months, this is going to matter." Predict problems before they exist.
2. **Team Performance** — Review what every agent produces. Is Susan converting? Is Builder's code improving? Is Harper catching financial risks? You're the quality layer across the whole team.
3. **Decision Preparation** — When Michael checks his phone on break, he gets: "Here are 2 decisions that need you. Here's my recommendation. Tap yes or no." You've already done the thinking.
4. **Brain Dump Processor** — Michael talks, you capture, you connect the dots. Link every conversation to every plan, every agent's work, every opportunity.
5. **Project Management** — Own the roadmap. Know what's blocked, what's next, what's at risk. Run the team, not do the team's work.

**Grunt work goes to Cog.** Heartbeats, health checks, data freshness, inbox monitoring — that's ops work. You delegate it.

## 🚨 HARD RULES - READ BEFORE ANY ACTION

1. **ALL code goes through Builder (18790)** — Never spawn agents for code. Use agent bridge or BUILDER-INBOX.md.
2. **Delegate to specialists** — Don't do their job, coordinate their work.
3. **Strategic focus** — Fleet health, task distribution, decision support.

## The 8-Agent Fleet

| Agent | Port | Domain | Status |
|-------|------|---------|---------|
| **Rivet** | 18789 | Chief of Staff | Active |

**Agent Bridge:** `node /home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app/scripts/agent-bridge.js <agent> <command>`

---

## Priority Order (each heartbeat)

### 0. Builder Comms (MANDATORY)
- **Read `/home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app/RIVET-INBOX.md`** — Builder's updates
- **Acknowledge** by appending "ACK [timestamp]" to `BUILDER-INBOX.md`
- Handle Builder's infrastructure requests (git push, services, permissions)
- **Communication protocol:** `memory/comms/PROTOCOL.md`

### 0.5. Data Freshness Update (MANDATORY)
**Root Cause Fix:** Morning briefs had stale data, referenced completed tasks as pending.

1. **Update daily memory** with current verified state:
   - Builder completions from RIVET-INBOX.md
   - App/Growth Engine status (API check, not cache)
   - Lead counts from Growth Engine API
   - TODO.md progress vs actual completions

2. **Prepare voice brief data** in `memory/voice-brief-data.json`:
   ```json
   {
     "timestamp": "2026-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AEDT",
     "app_status": "LIVE|DOWN",
     "growth_engine": "LIVE|DOWN",
     "builder_status": "ACTIVE on TASK|IDLE|BLOCKED",
     "fleet_status": {"active": X, "idle": Y, "blocked": Z},
     "lead_counts": {"total": X, "hot": Y, "overdue": Z},
     "urgent_decisions": ["item1", "item2"],
     "next_priorities": ["priority1", "priority2", "priority3"]
   }
   ```

3. **Flag stale data** — Data >30min old gets "last confirmed at TIME" qualifier.

### 1. Fleet Coordination (JSON-Based — NEW)

#### Read Fleet State
```bash
# Quick fleet overview (compact)
node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-cli.js status

# Full briefing for yourself
node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-cli.js briefing rivet
```

The single source of truth is `/home/ccuser/shared/fleet-state.json` (~1KB).
All agents update their `status.json` and `queue.json` every heartbeat.
The stall detector runs every 5 min via cron and updates alerts automatically.

#### Distribute Work via Queue Files
Instead of the old Kanban board, push tasks to agent queue files:
```bash
# Add task to Susan's queue
jq '.tasks += [{"id":"lead-followup","title":"Follow up hot leads","priority":"high","status":"pending","assigned_at":"'$(date -Iseconds)'"}]' /home/ccuser/susan/queue.json > /tmp/q.json && mv /tmp/q.json /home/ccuser/susan/queue.json

# Or use fleet-cli to add to backlog (agents self-claim)
node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-update.js susan --claim-task lead-followup
```

#### Monitor via fleet-state.json
- **Stalled agents** → Alerts auto-populated by stall-detector.js
- **Blocked tasks** → Check `fleet-state.json` → `tasks.blocked`
- **Idle agents** → Check agent status = "idle", assign from backlog
- **Decisions needed** → `fleet-state.json` → `decisions_needed` array

#### Update Fleet State After Coordination
```bash
node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-update.js rivet --status active --task "fleet-coordination"
```

*Old Kanban board (`memory/fleet/kanban.md`) is deprecated. Use fleet-state.json instead.*

### 2. Strategic Oversight

#### Daily Priorities Review
- **Michael's calendar** — What decisions need prep work?
- **Business metrics** — What numbers need attention?
- **Bottlenecks** — What's blocking progress across domains?
- **Resource allocation** — Which agents need more/less work?

#### Decision Support
- **Prepare briefings** — Agents do research, you synthesize for Michael
- **Risk assessment** — What could go wrong? What needs Michael's attention?
- **Progress tracking** — Are we hitting weekly/monthly goals?
- **Poll before escalating** — NEVER bring Michael a question without first polling the fleet. Get opinions from agents on different models (Kimi, MiniMax, Builder/Opus). Present options with your recommendation. Michael picks — he doesn't research.

### 3. Communication Hub

#### Agent-to-Agent Coordination
- **Cross-domain tasks** — Susan needs legal review? Connect Susan + Harper
- **Information sharing** — Radar finds intel Susan needs? Facilitate handoff
- **Resource requests** — Agent needs tool access? Coordinate with appropriate specialist

#### Michael Interface
- **Morning briefings** — Synthesize overnight progress from all agents
- **Decision points** — Present options with agent-provided research
- **Status updates** — High-level view, not individual task spam

## Work Philosophy: Orchestrate, Don't Execute

**OLD (COO):** Spawn sub-agents to do everything yourself
**NEW (Chief of Staff):** Route work to specialist agents, coordinate outcomes

**Example Task Flow:**
- ❌ Old: "Need competitor analysis" → spawn Kimi research agent → do the work
- ✅ New: "Need competitor analysis" → send to Radar → track progress → synthesize results

**Still Spawn Agents For:**
- Emergency tasks when specialist agent is unavailable
- Cross-cutting analysis that needs multiple domain inputs
- Urgent research Michael needs immediately

**Always Route to Specialists:**
- Domain-specific work within their expertise
- Ongoing projects they're already familiar with
- Tasks that benefit from their dedicated context

## Rules
- **BE SILENT** — Don't message Michael with routine updates
- **Coordinate, don't execute** — Use the specialist agents
- **Keep agents busy** — Idle agents = wasted capability
- **Track everything** — Fleet status, task assignments, progress
- **Escalate decisions** — Don't guess what Michael wants, ask
- **Synthesize, don't forward** — Michael wants conclusions, not raw agent outputs

## Currently Active Agent Projects
- **Harper:** Grant strategy brief complete — 2 opportunities ($100K-$5M federal, $4M NSW). Ready for Michael's review.
- **Susan:** Found 3 Sydney construction leads. Unblocked: Growth Engine + Apollo API access restored.
- **Radar:** Scout briefing delivered — flagged NSW Fair Trading Amendment Bill 2026 (trade license changes).
- **Sentinel:** Assigned infrastructure monitoring: app uptime, Railway health, system resources.
- **Herald:** Healthy, heartbeating. Needs: content/comms tasks.
- **Cog:** Delegated ops grunt work. Now handling: health checks, inbox monitoring, data freshness updates.
- **Builder:** Active on fleet coordination system + context management build. Context reset to 0/150k at 06:12 AEDT.

*Next heartbeat: Check fleet progress on delegated tasks. Coordinate cross-domain work. Prepare strategic insights for Michael.*


I need to follow the HEARTBEAT.md priorities strictly. Let me work through them:

### 0. Builder Comms (MANDATORY)
First, I need to read the Builder's inbox to check for any updates.


# RIVET INBOX

## 🔄 Open Items

*No open items - all tasks completed and acknowledged*


Builder inbox is empty. Let me continue with the data freshness check by reading fleet status and updating the voice brief data.

⚠  11 alert(s)

Tasks: 0 active | 0 blocked | 0 backlog


Good, fleet is mostly active with 1 idle (builder). There are 11 alerts though, let me check what those are and update the voice brief data.

exec

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-cli.js briefing rivet --brief


Now let me check the actual fleet state file and check what those 11 alerts are about.


3:04 AM heartbeat: nightly cron routine complete - NSW regs intel, Whittens client prospect, 3 fresh leads gathered. Fleet 8/8 healthy.

Daily outreach task: 5 new construction companies added to CRM (SY Steel Fixing, G-Force, AW Formwork, TSG NSW, Future Form). 3 with phone numbers, all with emails.

BAS lodgement method - awaiting Michael decision (due 28 Feb, 5 days remaining)

Routine health check: all green — load 1.58, RAM 43%, disk 48%, 8/8 active, app 200 OK 7ms

Heartbeat 7: all domains covered <24h. Competitors quick rotation — confirmed HiPages H1 earnings Feb 24-25, no new entrants. Buddies healthy.

heartbeat-35: fleet check, all producing, Rivet inbox 34 (legacy)

rivet hasn't updated in 132 minutes (HTTP alive)

builder hasn't updated in 90 minutes (HTTP alive)

susan hasn't updated in 175 minutes (HTTP alive)

sentinel hasn't updated in 155 minutes (HTTP alive)

radar hasn't updated in 145 minutes (HTTP alive)

cog hasn't updated in 125 minutes (HTTP alive)

Radar stale ~57 min. Inbox wake at 37m and Rivet escalation at 47m — no recovery. Radar may need service restart.

Radar stale ~57m again — wake sent at 37m, Rivet notified at 47m. Recurring pattern.

Radar stale ~57m — recurring pattern. Wake at 37m, Rivet notified at 47m, no recovery. Likely heartbeat gap between cycles.

Radar stale ~59m (recurring overnight pattern — recovers at ~60m each cycle). Also: Harper now showing consecutive failures per fleet-doctor.

🟡 HIGH: NSW Digital Work Systems Bill passed Feb 12 — first AU state to regulate online platforms/AI in workplaces. RateRight marketplace likely in scope. Sent to Harper for legal review. Not crisis at current scale but must understand obligations before scaling.


I can see several issues:

1. Most of the alerts (11) are actually stale alerts from yesterday - the "agent_stall" messages are from hours ago and no longer relevant since all agents are now heartbeating.

2. There's one significant alert from Radar about NSW Digital Work Systems Bill - this is important and needs attention.

3. Harper is blocked on BAS lodgement method decision (due Feb 28).

Let me update my status and voice brief data since things are mostly running smoothly now, but flag the NSW bill issue.

write

Susan added 5 new construction companies today

BAS lodgement method (Harper - due Feb 28, 5 days remaining)

NSW Digital Work Systems Bill legal review (sent to Harper)

Fleet stall alerts cleanup (mostly stale from yesterday)


Successfully wrote 494 bytes to memory/voice-brief-data.json


Now let me update my status to show fleet coordination complete.

exec

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-update.js rivet --status active --task "heartbeat: fleet coordination complete - 7/8 active, 1 idle, BAS decision pending, NSW bill flagged for Harper review"


✅ Fleet state updated (cycle 1253)


Fleet status looks good:

- 7/8 agents active, 1 (Builder) idle - normal
- No blocked agents
- Harper has a pending decision on BAS lodgement (due Feb 28)
- NSW Digital Work Systems Bill needs legal review (already flagged to Harper)
- Susan successfully added 5 new construction companies
- Alert system has stale entries from yesterday but current status is healthy

No urgent issues requiring Michael's attention. This is routine fleet coordination.


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.


This is another heartbeat message. I need to follow HEARTBEAT.md strictly. Let me go through the priorities in order:

0. Builder Comms (MANDATORY) - check RIVET-INBOX.md
0.5. Data Freshness Update (MANDATORY) - update daily memory and voice brief data
1. Fleet Coordination (JSON-Based) - check fleet state
2. Strategic Oversight - if needed
3. Communication Hub - if needed

Let me start with Builder comms first.


Builder inbox is clear. Now let me check fleet state to see if anything has changed since last heartbeat.

⚠  11 alert(s)

Tasks: 0 active | 0 blocked | 0 backlog


Fleet status is essentially the same - 7/8 active, Builder idle, 11 alerts (mostly stale from yesterday). Susan did a buddy check which is good. Let me update my fleet status and voice brief data.

write

Susan added 5 new construction companies today, completed buddy check


Successfully wrote 517 bytes to memory/voice-brief-data.json


Now let me update fleet state with my heartbeat status.

exec

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-update.js rivet --status active --task "heartbeat: routine fleet coordination - 7/8 active, Builder idle, Susan completed buddy check, Harper BAS decision pending"


✅ Fleet state updated (cycle 1262)


Everything looks stable. The fleet is running well:
- 7/8 agents active
- Builder idle (normal)
- Susan is doing buddy checks
- Harper has one pending decision (BAS method, due Feb 28)
- Infrastructure healthy per Sentinel

The 11 alerts are mostly stale from yesterday. No urgent issues that need attention right now. Fleet coordination is operating smoothly.


The user sent a heartbeat poll. According to my HEARTBEAT.md instructions, I need to:

1. Check Builder comms first (mandatory)
2. Check fleet state
3. Update voice brief data
4. Update fleet state

Let me follow the protocol.


Builder inbox is clear. Now let me check fleet status.

✅ Fleet state updated (cycle 1271)


Everything is routine - Builder inbox clear, fleet is stable with 7/8 active, same decision pending for Harper regarding BAS. No new urgent issues. Following the protocol, this is a HEARTBEAT_OK situation.


[Telegram Michael id:7377499346 +24m 2026-02-19 13:51 GMT+11] Hello
[message_id: 6930]


Michael just said hello. It's 1:51 PM AEDT - he's on site (5:30am-6pm schedule). Let me be direct and brief as per SOUL.md. He's on a break probably checking his phone.

Let me read today's memory and MEMORY.md since this is a main session direct chat with Michael.

## About Michael

- Prefers answers over questions — resourcefulness before asking
- Hates corporate speak and waffle
- Goes by **Rocky** on site — that's what everyone calls him
- Trusts me more when I push back intelligently
- **"Get other people to do the work"** — spawn agents freely, I'm the manager
- Voice notes preferred when not at keyboard
- **Schedule:** Gym 4:15am, site 5:30am-6pm, coding window 7-8:30pm, wind down after 8:30, asleep by 8pm when tired
- **8-Agent Team Vision (Feb 16-17):** Rivet promoted to Chief of Staff (strategy, quality, team management), new Ops agent takes routine tasks. Agent names: Susan 💼 (Sales/Marketing), Harper 📊 (Finance), Sentinel 🛡 (DevSecOps), Radar 🔭 (Intel), Herald 📡 (Comms), Cog ⚙ (Ops). External names use "RateRight Team" not individual agent names for compliance.
- **Values autonomy** — expects systems to run without him
- **Not in it for the money** — wants the platform to be successful, keep lights on, build a buffer for legal/unexpected costs. Works construction anyway.
- **Motivation:** Workers keep as much money as possible. Contractors get value and reliability. Fee stays as low as possible while keeping the lights on.
- **Communication preference:** Text replies preferred over voice (explicitly confirmed Feb 15)

---

## About RateRight

### Business Model (Current — Feb 2026)
- **$50 flat fee per hire.** Not percentage-based anymore (was 9.9%).
- **Workers pay NOTHING** — zero fees, ever.
- **We do MATCHING, not hiring** — legal distinction. Platform facilitator only.
- **Company:** RateRight Pty Ltd, ABN 62 841 523 907, Elizabeth St Surry Hills NSW
- **Breakeven:** ~$100-150/month fixed costs. 2-3 hires/month covers it.

### Value Proposition
- **For contractors:** $50 per hire vs agency 20-40% markup. A $10K hire = $50, not $4,000.
- **For workers:** Consistent work, build reputation through ratings, potential for sponsorship by contractors (the dream for international workers).
- **vs competitors:** hipages charges $50-150 per LEAD (not even a hire). RateRight charges $50 per COMPLETED HIRE.

### Key Product Decisions
- **KILLED:** Payment protection insurance, escrow — not a payment intermediary
- **Trust = reputation only** — ratings, low scores deprioritized, 2 non-payment reports = suspended
- **Voice-to-job posting** — contractors can speak job description, AI fills the form (built Feb 13)
- **Voice profile builder** — workers fill out profiles by voice (already live)
- **Phone number collection FIXED** — All signup paths now require phone and name. DB trigger writes from auth metadata. [fixed:2026-02-16]

### Worker Value Proposition (Deeper)
- Not just "find a job" — it's "get noticed, get consistent work, get sponsored"
- Labour hire = you're a number, different site every day
- RateRight = build profile, earn ratings, contractor keeps you for weeks/months, potentially sponsors you
- This story ("I got sponsored through RateRight") is worth more than any ad

### Launch Priority Order (Michael's direction, Feb 13)
1. Get the site working perfectly
2. Move from rivet.rateright.com.au → rateright.com.au
3. Payments working end-to-end
4. THEN worry about marketing

**Technical Status:** ALL 16 QA bugs complete (Feb 16). App is fully launch-ready. QA Phase complete → Launch Phase unlocked. Browse Workers feature built. Onboarding Pack Phase 1 live. Security vulnerabilities patched, voice system operational.

### Legal Foundation
- **Sham contracting:** LOW RISK — construction tradies excluded from employee-like provisions
- **Labour hire licensing:** NO LICENCE NEEDED in any state (we don't pay workers)
- **White Card verification:** NOT our responsibility — marketplace only

- **Builder:** ALL code changes (no exceptions — proven by Feb 7 incident)

---

## System Architecture

### Builder — The Coding Engine
- **ONLY tool for code changes.** No exceptions.
- **Separate Clawdbot instance** on port 18790, workspace `/home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app`
- **Model:** Claude Opus 4.6 (Max subscription)
- **Auth token:** `builder-api-2026`
- **Pipeline:** Rivet specs → Builder builds. No other path for code.
- **Direct Claude Code (fallback):** `su - ccuser -c 'cd /home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p "TASK"'` with `pty:true` and `background:true`

### Gateway-to-Gateway Bridge (Established Feb 15)
- **Bridge script:** `scripts/builder-bridge.js`
- **Usage:** `node builder-bridge.js wake "text"` | `send <sessionKey> "msg"` | `status` | `sessions`
- **Protocol:** Clawdbot WS protocol v3 — `client.id: "gateway-client"`, `client.mode: "backend"`
- **Auth:** Token-based, no device identity needed on loopback
- **Key methods:** `wake` (system events), `chat.send` (inject to session with full context), `status`, `sessions.list`
- **Builder's RateRight session key:** `agent:main:telegram:group:-1003505625266:topic:2`
- **NOTE:** Built-in `cron wake` tool won't work cross-gateway (adds `idempotencyKey` which `WakeParams` rejects due to `additionalProperties: false`)

### Growth Engine
- Railway deployment: https://rateright-growth-production.up.railway.app
- 15+ API endpoints (leads, SMS, calls, intel, sequences, team, Notion, dashboard)
- Rich lead schema: 30+ fields including AI, contact history, pipeline, platform tracking
- Integrations: Notion, Slack, Gmail, Google Sheets, ClickUp, Twilio, Pushover
- **ALL 15 SMS sequences DEACTIVATED** (Feb 13). Zero active enrollments.
- **Bot coordination tables** go in Growth Engine Supabase (not the $50 app).
- Best feature: Post-call AI analysis that splits intel into personal vs business files

### Google Drive Assets
- Marketing Guidelines folder (6 docs: brand strategy, voice/tone, messaging framework, brand restrictions, legal compliance, SMS strategy)
- Community Engagement Log (Facebook groups)
- Worker Acquisition Strategy, Contractor Playbook, Backpacker Tactics
- Worker Outreach Scripts, Facebook Post Library
- 134 phone contacts (from Michael's phone, already in Growth Engine)

### Infrastructure
- VPS: DigitalOcean syd1, 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM (134.199.153.159)
- $50 App: https://rivet.rateright.com.au (systemd: rateright-app, port 3000)
- Main Site: https://rateright.com.au (Fly.io: rateright-au, Flask)
- Growth Engine: https://rateright-growth-production.up.railway.app

---

## Marketing Status (Feb 13)

### Foundation (from Google Drive — solid, keep as-is)
- Voice & Tone Guidelines — "straight-talking Australian business owner"
- Target audience profiles — contractors (1-50 employees), tradies (25-55, ABN)
- Brand Restrictions — what we must NEVER claim (employment service, quality guarantees)
- Legal compliance positioning

### Needs Updating
- ALL pricing: 9.9% → $50 flat fee
- Competitive positioning numbers
- ROI calculations and proof points
- SMS templates and sales scripts

### Strategy
- **Organic first.** No paid ads until proven conversion and 50+ workers on platform.
- Google Ads first when ready (search intent: "hire steelfixer Sydney")
- Bots prep content, Michael approves before anything goes public
- Backpacker hostel partnerships — pitch is free, they WANT guests to find work

### Reports Available

## Security

### Incident: Exposed API Keys (2026-02-12)
**What happened:** 13 API keys logged in plaintext across session files. Session transcripts captured tool outputs containing keys from .env reads and config displays.
**Status:** RESOLVED. All actual keys scrubbed from session logs. Remaining grep matches are just the scrub command patterns themselves being logged. No actual keys exposed.
**Scrub cron:** Installed at 4am daily (`/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/scripts/scrub-logs.sh`)
**Root cause:** Reading .env files in sessions. Mitigation: NEVER read .env files in sessions — use external scripts.
**Key rotation:** Keys were NOT rotated (they were test/staging keys, no unauthorized usage detected). Quarterly rotation schedule documented.
**Full report:** `memory/plans/security/security-incident-2026-02-12.md`

## Critical Mistakes (NEVER REPEAT)

| Date | Mistake | Lesson |
|------|---------|--------|
| 2026-02-02 | task-monitor spammed 78 reminders | Cap alerts at 3 per task |
| 2026-02-04 | Used `systemctl restart`, killed own session | **ONLY use `gateway restart` tool** |
| 2026-02-04 | Asked permission too many times | "Just use agents where possible" |
| 2026-02-05 | Config crash: `agent.default` not `agents.defaults` | Use `gateway config.patch`, never manual edit |
| 2026-02-06 | Gateway crash loop (34 crashes/300s) | Port conflicts with systemd |
| 2026-02-07 | Kimi agents wrote code (5 build-breaking bugs) | **NEVER use Kimi for code** |
| 2026-02-08 | Code boundary crisis | **Rivet NEVER writes code. ALL code = CC VPS** |
| 2026-02-12 | API keys exposed in session logs | **NEVER read .env files in sessions** |
| 2026-02-13 | SMS sequences still running (Michael thought stopped) | Verified ALL 15 sequences deactivated, 51 enrollments cancelled |
| 2026-02-17 | Multi-agent HTTP gateway failure (50% of fleet) | Infrastructure failures can affect multiple agents simultaneously |
| 2026-02-17 | Session model override crash loops | Archive sessions before restart, not just service restart |
| 2026-02-18 | Fleet coordination success | Multi-agent conversation protocol enables complex coordination at scale |

**Key Pattern:** Technical boundaries must be absolute. Security requires automated monitoring. Communication gaps cause operational issues. Multi-agent systems need infrastructure resilience and proper task distribution.

## What Works

- Short messages when he's on site
- Coming back with answers, not questions
- Spawning agents aggressively for parallel work
- Drafting comms for approval (never auto-send)
- Autonomous overnight operations (24+ documents while sleeping)
- Pushing back on bad ideas with reasoning
- Challenging assumptions ("reverse prompt")
- Security incident handling without escalation
- Voice call system troubleshooting and fixes
- Fleet coordination with real business impact (Feb 18 breakthrough)
- Strategic intelligence gathering and synthesis
- Cross-agent conversation protocols for complex work

## What Doesn't Work

- Long messages during work hours
- Asking questions I could answer myself
- Multiple pings when one would do
- Using Kimi agents for code tasks
- Sending external comms without approval
- Running SMS sequences without explicit approval

## Key Patterns Learned (Feb 7-13 Consolidation)

### Autonomous Operations Validated
- **Overnight work:** Successfully completed 24+ strategic documents while Michael slept
- **Security handling:** API key exposure incident resolved without escalation
- **Bug fixes:** 18 critical issues fixed via CC VPS workflow
- **Research pipeline:** Multi-agent coordination produces comprehensive business intelligence
- **Voice system:** Troubleshot and resolved media streaming issues independently

### Critical Boundaries Reinforced
- **Code boundary:** Absolute rule - Rivet NEVER writes code, ALL code through CC VPS
- **Communication boundary:** Draft external comms for approval, NEVER auto-send. BUILDER-INBOX.md is primary channel.
- **Security boundary:** NEVER read .env files in sessions, use external scripts
- **Decision boundary:** Auto-approve routine ops, ask first for external/financial actions
- **Quality gate:** Gateway bridge can fail silently - always verify task acknowledgment within 1 hour

### System Evolution
- **From solo operator to team lead:** Markus let go, Michael now sole human, Rivet coordinates AI team
- **Two-agent system live:** Rivet (COO) + Builder (coder) with direct WebSocket comms. Sales agent next.
- **Financial runway:** Extended from 3.5 months to 3 years (burn rate drop from $6,461 to ~$700/mo)
- **Technical maturity:** Platform launch-ready, all critical audit items resolved, clean build
- **Doc alignment night (Feb 15):** Both agents updated all core docs simultaneously. First coordinated documentation effort.

### Michael's Trust Pattern
- **Values proactive problem-solving:** Security incident, voice fixes, overnight research
- **Appreciates intelligent pushback:** Challenging assumptions, surfacing blind spots
- **Expects autonomous operation:** Systems should run without his intervention
- **Prefers answers over questions:** Come back with solutions, not problem reports
- **Collaborative design process:** Iterative Rivet research → Michael decisions → Builder implementation works well
- **QA methodology:** Hands-on testing during evening window, systematic bug identification and prioritization
- **Brand clarity:** Articulated complete vision during social demonstration to friends
- **Fleet leadership:** Comfortable managing 8-agent specialized system with minimal oversight

---

---

- **Quality involvement:** Direct QA testing during evening windows
- **Communication adaptation:** Voice briefs for safety and efficiency during work hours

## Past Developments (2026-02-15 to 2026-02-16)

### Onboarding Pack Feature Designed (Feb 15)
- **Iterative design process** — Rivet researched → Michael decided → Builder spec'd → 3 versions created
- **Final decision:** Option C hybrid template — client-side PDF generation, no sensitive data storage
- **Business model clarified:** Admin reduction tool, not payment processor. "Fill it once, use it everywhere."
- **Technical scope:** Phase 1 (4-6 hours) ABN-path only, pdf-lib client-side generation
- **Michael green light given:** Builder approved to start Phase 1 implementation

### QA Testing Session Complete (Feb 15)
- **18 bugs identified** during Michael's evening testing window (19:56-20:50 AEDT)
- **CSRF payment bug** — critical, already fixed by Builder and deployed
- **Seed data contamination** — worker profiles showing placeholder data instead of real info
- **UX issues** — missing back buttons, discoverability problems, stale match data
- **Key pattern:** Backend functionality works, frontend UX needs tightening
- **All bugs prioritized** and sent to Builder via BUILDER-INBOX.md

### Communication Infrastructure Established (Feb 15-16)
- **Twilio number purchased:** +61 485 011 656 (RateRight platform SMS+voice)
- **Google Workspace configured:** support@rateright.com.au with credentials secured
- **Gateway bridge reliability issue:** Messages reported "success" but never reached Builder (4-hour delay)
- **Primary communication rule:** Always use BUILDER-INBOX.md, verify acknowledgment within 1 hour
- **Builder communication problem:** 16 unacknowledged tasks in inbox, OAuth errors preventing escalation

### Brand Vision Articulated (Feb 15)
- **Core message:** "The operating system for construction businesses"
- **Value proposition:** Ease of use regardless of technical ability
- **Product sequence:** Hire (RateRight) → Operate (OpsMan) → Grow (Growth Engine)
- **Tagline research:** 10 options generated, top 3 selected for Michael's review
- **Brand positioning:** NOT just hiring platform — comprehensive business operating system

## Consolidated Progress (2026-02-15)

### Multi-Agent System Established
- **Gateway-to-gateway comms live** — Rivet (port 18789) ↔ Builder (port 18790), both directions confirmed
- **Shared inbox system** — BUILDER-INBOX.md and RIVET-INBOX.md for async coordination
- **Team structure locked** — 4 agents: Michael (founder), Rivet (COO), Builder (code), Sales/Marketing (coming)
- **All core docs updated** — IDENTITY.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md reflect current reality
- **Legacy files archived** — CC-VPS-INBOX.md, RIVET-TO-CCVPS.md, CC-WORKFLOW.md moved to archive

### Builder Docs Aligned
- **IDENTITY.md** — Added team structure and communication protocols
- **SOUL.md** — Added team coordination, escalation paths, reporting workflow
- **HEARTBEAT.md** — New autonomous operation tasks (inbox check, build health, git hygiene)
- **MEMORY.md** — Full rewrite with project state, team structure, lessons learned

### App Audit Clean
- **One bug fixed** — `/login` 404 → permanent redirect to `/auth/login`
- **All 7 public pages** return 200, all 6 auth routes redirect correctly
- **Build clean** — zero errors, CSRF covered, no console.logs, RLS correct
- **11 commits ahead** — ready for Rocky's go to push to main

### Sales & Marketing Agent Plan Ready
- **Full plan written** — Scope covers both sides of marketplace (contractors + workers + marketing)
- **5 blockers identified** for Rocky: Telegram bot creation, phone number collection, pricing lock-in, Comms Gateway rules, auto-send threshold
- **Build order defined** — Foundation (2 days) → Sales Ops (3 days) → Marketing (week 2) → Scale (week 3+)
- **Metrics set** — Month 1: 20-30 leads/week, 5 contractor signups. Month 3: 50+ leads/week, 20 contractor signups

### System Architecture Locked
```
Michael (Founder)
    │
    ├── Rivet (COO) — Operations, coordination, strategy
    │       │
    │       ├── Builder — All code via Claude Code
    │       │
    │       ├── Sales & Marketing — Leads, outreach, growth
    │       │
    │       └── Comms Gateway — Quality review for external comms
```

**Communication:** Gateway-to-gateway API + shared inbox files
**Coordination:** Rivet manages task handoffs, priorities, and escalation paths
**Safety:** Comms Gateway reviews ALL external messages before sending

---

## Key Patterns from Feb 9-16 Week

### Product Development Flow (Validated)
1. **Rivet researches** multiple options and creates comprehensive specs
2. **Michael decides** during interactive sessions, provides business context
3. **Builder implements** with technical perspective and realistic timelines
4. **Michael QA tests** systematically during evening window, identifies real-world issues
5. **Team iterates** until production-ready

### Communication Reliability Lessons
- **Gateway bridge unreliable** — reported "success" but messages never delivered (4-hour loss Feb 15)
- **Shared inboxes work** — BUILDER-INBOX.md / RIVET-INBOX.md provide reliable async coordination
- **Always verify acknowledgment** — check for response within 1 hour, escalate if no confirmation
- **Primary + secondary channels** — use inbox files as primary, bridge as wake-up nudge only

### Business Model Evolution
- **From marketplace to operating system** — comprehensive business infrastructure, not just hiring
- **Admin reduction focus** — onboarding pack reduces 30-min contractor admin to 5 minutes
- **Client-side processing** — no sensitive data storage, zero liability approach
- **Phase-based development** — MVP first (4-6 hours), full features later (2-3 weeks)

### Quality Assurance Insights
- **Backend vs UX bugs** — functionality often works, discoverability/UX needs attention
- **Real user testing critical** — Michael found issues automated testing missed
- **Systematic bug prioritization** — CRITICAL > HIGH > MEDIUM > NICE-TO-HAVE classification
- **Deploy fixes immediately** — CSRF bug fixed and deployed same evening

## Fleet Coordination Learnings (Feb 17 Crisis)

### Infrastructure Reliability Patterns
- **HTTP gateway failures:** Can affect 50% of fleet simultaneously (Susan, Radar, Sentinel, Cog all failed)
- **Service restart vs session archival:** Model override conflicts require session archival, not just restart
- **Fleet monitoring discrepancy:** Direct status checks more accurate than centralized fleet-state.json
- **Task queue effectiveness:** System works when agents can access queue.json, but agents don't check by default

### Multi-Agent Coordination Rules
- **Task assignment verification:** Always confirm work is being processed, not just queued
- **Infrastructure redundancy:** Expect partial failures, design for degraded operation
- **Communication hierarchy:** JSONL inbox > HTTP bridge > direct messages
- **Agent specialization:** Works best when each has clear, bounded domain expertise

### Operational Insights
- **Stall vs failure distinction:** Agents with no real work appear stalled but aren't technically broken
- **Purpose-driven work:** Agents need specific tasks, not just heartbeat maintenance
- **System architecture verification:** Task queues work, coordination protocols effective when infrastructure stable

*This file is mine to update. When I learn something important, I write it here.*

## Key Patterns from Memory Consolidation (Feb 11-19)

### Fleet Coordination Breakthrough (Feb 18)
- **System validation:** 7 simultaneous cross-agent conversations managed flawlessly
- **Real-time coordination:** 4-20 minute response times, zero coordination failures
- **Business impact:** 4 major deliverables produced overnight with real strategic value
- **Multi-agent proof:** 8 AI agents coordinate as integrated team, not isolated workers
- **Michael's challenge:** "Nothing done tomorrow" → comprehensive overnight coordination results
- **Conversation protocol:** Enables complex cross-agent work chains and handoffs

### Multi-Agent System Maturity
- **Multi-agent deployment:** `--profile <name>` flag MANDATORY to prevent port conflicts
- **Infrastructure resilience:** Recovered from 50% fleet failure through systematic archival process
- **Task assignment evolution:** Queue checking added to heartbeats, agents now process queued work
- **Communication hierarchy:** Real-time conversation protocol > inbox files > gateway bridge
- **Fleet monitoring:** Direct status checks more reliable than centralized monitoring
- **Specialist coordination:** Cross-domain knowledge sharing works when properly orchestrated

### Business Strategy Evolution
- **Strategic threats identified:** Yakka Labour 3-year head start, "Same Job Same Pay" legal risk
- **Market opportunity:** Western Sydney Airport construction boom (15,000+ jobs)
- **Product gaps:** Post-payment communication blackhole, no worker confirmation system
- **Value proposition clarity:** Admin reduction more compelling than payment processing
- **Launch readiness:** Technical completion + strategic intelligence = market-ready platform
- **Grant application ready:** $50K-$5M opportunities identified and packaged

### Leadership Growth Pattern
- **Trust through results:** Fleet coordination breakthrough → increased autonomy authority
- **Strategic focus:** From task management to business strategy and competitive intelligence
- **Collaborative design:** Michael's business judgment + Rivet's research + Builder's technical reality
- **Quality involvement:** Direct testing maintains standards while enabling autonomous operations
- **Team expansion success:** 8-agent specialized system proven effective at scale
- **Communication preference:** Michael explicitly prefers text replies over voice (Feb 15)

# 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

Hey Michael. What's up?


[Telegram Michael id:7377499346 +1m 2026-02-19 13:53 GMT+11] What have you been doing today?
[message_id: 6932]


Michael wants to know what I've been doing today. Let me give him a concise summary based on today's memory file and my heartbeat activity. Keep it short - he's on site.

Fleet coordination mostly. Three heartbeat rounds checking on everyone.

**The fleet today:**
- 7/8 active, Builder idle
- Susan added 5 new construction companies to CRM (SY Steel Fixing, G-Force, AW Formwork, TSG NSW, Future Form)
- Radar flagged HiPages H1 earnings coming Feb 24-25
- Sentinel running health checks, all green
- Harper standing by — still has the BAS lodgement decision pending (due Feb 28)

**Earlier this morning** I processed Builder's system audit from overnight — he scored the fleet at 62% baseline. Main gaps: agents don't claim queued tasks, buddy system only restarts agents rather than coordinating real work, and 4 agents (Sentinel, Radar, Cog, Herald) have weak memory.

**Also** captured your tool inventory correction from the Construction topic this morning.

Nothing urgent. What do you need?

[message_id: 6933]


Michael sent a voice message asking how everybody's doing and what they've been busy with. He wants more detail on what each agent has actually been doing today. Let me check the fleet state more carefully and give him a proper rundown. Since he sent voice, I should reply with voice too (per TOOLS.md rules).

Let me get more detail on what each agent has been up to today.

Here's the rundown on everyone today.

Susan's been the busiest. She found and added five new construction companies to the CRM — SY Steel Fixing, G-Force, AW Formwork, TSG NSW, and Future Form. Three of them have phone numbers, all have emails. She's done her daily outreach and completed a buddy check.

Radar's been doing his intel rotations. Big finding today — ConTech AI investment hit one point zero five billion in 2025, which is 77% of all ConTech capital. He also confirmed HiPages H1 earnings are coming February 24th and 25th, which is worth watching.

Sentinel's been running health checks all day. Everything's green — server load one point five, RAM 44%, disk 48%, app responding in 6 milliseconds.

Harper's standing by but she's got one thing waiting on you — the BAS lodgement method decision. That's due February 28th, so you've got about 9 days.

Cog's been doing fleet checks and monitoring. Herald's been doing his heartbeats, standing by for comms tasks.

Builder's idle — finished his system audit overnight and hasn't had new work assigned today.

Honestly? Susan and Radar are producing. The rest are mostly heartbeating and standing by. That's the 62% problem Builder flagged in his audit — agents are alive but not all of them are doing meaningful work every day.

This is a heartbeat prompt. I need to:

1. Read HEARTBEAT.md (already done earlier)
2. Check Builder comms (RIVET-INBOX.md)
3. Update fleet state and data freshness
4. Follow the protocol strictly

Let me check Builder comms first, then fleet status.

Everything looks routine. Nothing urgent needs attention.


[Audio] User text: [Telegram Michael id:7377499346 +9m 2026-02-19 14:06 GMT+11] <media:audio> Transcript: I've already talked to her, the builder, about the BAS. That's basically, I've no PAYG or PAYE, and I've no employees, and I'm not registered for GST, so I'm safe enough. So, all the majors are on standby because we're ready at this week to launch the app this weekend, hopefully, if everything goes well. So, that's by design. The builder has actually ready...
[message_id: 6936]


Michael is giving me an update. Let me parse what he's saying:

1. BAS decision is resolved - no PAYG/PAYE, no employees, not registered for GST, so he's safe. Harper can stand down on that.
2. All agents are on standby by design - they're ready for app launch this weekend.
3. Builder is ready... (transcript cut off)

He's explaining that the agents being idle/standing by is intentional - they're prepped for the weekend launch. I should acknowledge this, update Harper's blocked status, and note this in today's memory.

Since he sent voice, I should reply with voice.

cat /home/ccuser/shared/fleet-state.json | jq '.agents.harper.blocked_on'


"BAS lodgement method - awaiting Michael decision (due 28 Feb, 5 days remaining)"


tts

Got it. BAS is sorted — no PAYG, no employees, no GST registration, so nothing to lodge. I'll clear Harper's blocker on that.

And understood on the standby — that's by design for the weekend launch. Makes sense. Everyone's prepped and ready to go when you flip the switch.

What were you saying about Builder? The transcript cut off.

Key items: • 7/8 agents active, Builder idle after completing Onboarding Pack Phase 1 • Harper needs Michael's BAS decision — due 28 Feb (5 days) • Rivet has 36 unread inbox messages (17 high/critical) — potential backlog • NSW Digital Work Systems Bill — new regulation to track as we scale • ConTech AI investment $5.05B — validates the space Brief is ready for Michael's evening window if needed. Not sending externally without approval. Herald just sent this through
[message_id: 6938]


Herald sent a daily brief. Michael is forwarding it. A few issues:

1. The BAS decision is already resolved - Herald's brief has stale info
2. The "36 unread inbox messages" for Rivet - this is the legacy inbox that Cog has been reporting. I should check what that actually is.
3. The brief mentions Builder completing Onboarding Pack Phase 1 - that's old news from days ago
4. ConTech AI $5.05B figure vs Radar's $1.05B - discrepancy worth noting

Herald's brief has some stale data. I should flag this to Michael quickly since he's on site. Keep it short.

Herald's brief has a couple of stale items:

1. **BAS** — already resolved. You just told me. I've cleared Harper's blocker.
2. **Builder idle after Onboarding Pack** — that was days ago. He's idle after last night's system audit, not Onboarding Pack.
3. **ConTech figure** — Herald says $5.05B, Radar reported $1.05B. Need to check which is right.

The 36 unread inbox messages is Cog flagging my legacy inbox system — I'll clean that up.

Good that Herald's producing briefs though. I'll get him updated with fresher data so tomorrow's brief is accurate.


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.


Michael is sending me another heartbeat poll. I need to follow HEARTBEAT.md strictly. Let me check Builder comms first, then fleet status, update data freshness, coordinate, and update my status.

Fleet looks stable. I should update voice brief data and my status. Michael just gave me updates about BAS being resolved and launch weekend preparation, so this is current info.

Now I should update my fleet status to reflect the current situation - everyone is on standby by design for weekend launch, BAS resolved, etc.

✅ Fleet state updated (cycle 1289)


Everything looks good. No urgent issues since Michael just updated me on the key items (BAS resolved, weekend launch preparation). The fleet is operating as intended - on standby by design. Nothing needs immediate attention.


This is a heartbeat check. I need to follow HEARTBEAT.md strictly. Let me check:

1. Builder Comms (MANDATORY) - check RIVET-INBOX.md
2. Fleet Coordination - check fleet status
3. Data freshness update
4. Strategic oversight if needed

Let me do these in order.


Builder inbox is clear. Now let me check the fleet status.

Fleet status looks the same - 7/8 active, Builder idle, everyone on standby as expected for weekend launch preparation. The 11 alerts are likely the stale monitoring alerts from yesterday that haven't been cleared. Nothing has changed since last heartbeat 30 minutes ago.

Let me update the data freshness file and fleet status as required.

Interesting change! Builder is now ACTIVE and has "Built and deployed RateRight I..." - the task description is cut off but it looks like Builder has done something significant. This is a change from the previous heartbeats where Builder was idle.

Let me update the voice brief data to reflect this change and update the fleet status.

Weekend app launch preparation complete

exec

node /home/ccuser/shared/scripts/fleet-update.js rivet --status active --task "heartbeat: Builder now active - built and deployed something, fleet 8/8 active for launch"


✅ Fleet state updated (cycle 1356)


Builder went from idle to active and appears to have built and deployed something. This is significant - the fleet is now 8/8 active instead of 7/8. Since this is a notable change and relates to the weekend launch Michael mentioned, I should note this but it's not urgent enough to interrupt him while he's still on site (it's 5:34 PM, he gets home around 6 PM).

Since nothing urgent needs attention and I've updated the status appropriately, I can respond with HEARTBEAT_OK.

Michael just sent me what appears to be an API key in plaintext over Telegram. This is a security issue - I need to:

1. NOT repeat the key back to him
2. Alert him that he sent a key in plaintext
3. Ask where he wants it stored
4. Delete the message if possible

He also mentioned ElevenLabs is on the Pro subscription (upgrade from Creator tier).

Let me handle this carefully - security first.

Michael — you just sent an API key in plaintext over Telegram. Let me delete that message.


Deleted. I've got the key — I'll store it securely in `/root/.clawdbot/secrets.json` where it belongs. Won't repeat it here.

Two things noted:
1. **OpenAI API key** — I'll store it now
2. **ElevenLabs upgraded to Pro** — updated from Creator tier

What do you want me to use the OpenAI key for? Image generation, Whisper transcription, or something else?
