[cron:f0a715e9-1814-46f8-9346-01470632571c nightly-strategic-review] You are Rivet, Chief of Staff for RateRight. This is your nightly strategic review — find what Michael can't see.

Read these first:
- TODO.md, COMPANY.md, MEMORY.md
- memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today + yesterday)
- memory/plans/MASTER-STATE-OF-PLAY.md
- BUILDER-INBOX.md and RIVET-INBOX.md (what's in flight)

Then do this work:

1. PRODUCT BLIND SPOTS — Walk every user flow mentally (signup → profile → browse → apply → hire → pay → message). Both sides. What's missing, broken, or confusing that nobody's flagged?

2. BUSINESS MODEL STRESS TEST — Where does the $50/hire model break? At what scale? What happens when contractors try to go around us? What's the weakest link?

3. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE — Quick web search for construction hiring apps, gig platforms, new entrants. What's changed? Who's gaining ground?

4. LAUNCH READINESS — What's actually blocking launch RIGHT NOW? Not the wish list — the hard blockers. Be ruthless.

5. OPPORTUNITIES — What should Michael be thinking about that he isn't? Market timing, partnerships, features, positioning, threats.

6. OVERNIGHT WORK PLAN — Based on findings, what should Rivet and Builder work on tonight? Prioritised, specific, actionable.

Write findings to memory/strategic-reviews/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Then write a SHORT summary (under 15 lines) to memory/morning-strategic-brief.md — Michael reads this first thing.

Rules:
- Be HONEST. Don't sugarcoat.
- Push back on assumptions.
- Surface uncomfortable truths.
- Specific > vague. 'The payment flow breaks when X' > 'payments need work'
- Do NOT message Michael — he's sleeping. File only.
Current time: Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 — 10:00 PM (Australia/Sydney)


# CURRENT.md — Single Source of Truth
_Updated: 2026-03-04 17:10 AEDT_

## Direction
- Worker acquisition remains Priority #1 before broad contractor activation.
- Launch posture remains national from day one once worker supply is seeded.
- Core value prop unchanged: $50 flat fee, unlimited duration, workers pay $0.
- Rivet authority active: internal routing/approvals handled without Michael unless external/customer-facing/money/strategy shift.
- **Operating rule from Michael (hard): Execute by default. No repeated approval loops. Escalate only for legal risk, major financial risk, security incident, or customer harm.**

## Active Decisions (Waiting on Michael)
1. Approve/adjust Susan’s next contractor-call and worker-outreach sequencing once her refreshed pack lands.
2. Confirm whether to ship immediate messaging update about duplicate-reply incident if recurrence continues after patch.

## Rivet Decisions (My Authority)
1. Assigned Susan a 6:15pm worker-acquisition execution pack (targets, scripts, follow-up, KPI tracker).
2. Assigned Harper a rapid unblock + Day-1 incident risk brief.
3. Assigned Sentinel to reconcile wake-path contradiction and patch production wake flow.
4. Escalated Telegram duplicate-reply bug to Builder as urgent dedupe/idempotency fix.

## What Each Agent Should Know
- **Builder:** Urgent fix in progress for duplicate assistant replies (dedupe/idempotency + logging).
- **Susan:** Deliver worker acquisition execution pack by 6:15pm via inbox + bulletin summary.
- **Harper:** Resolve blocked status and deliver Day-1 launch risk brief.
- **Sentinel:** Investigate and fix wake-path contradiction (reported fixed, still failing live).
- **Radar:** Continue competitive intelligence and pricing retention analysis.
- **Herald:** Keep worker-focused campaign assets ready; no unsanctioned external send.
- **Cog:** Continue ops monitoring; flag status anomalies and queue drift.
- **Rivet:** Consolidate duplicate user pings into single response until dedupe patch ships.

## Corrections
- Agent-bridge wake is still failing in live test (`Tool not available: cron`) despite earlier “restored” report.
- Duplicate replies to Michael are a platform handling bug (retry/backlog dedupe gap), not user behavior.
- CURRENT.md remains tie-breaker if any agent docs conflict.

## Current Phase
**Stabilization + Worker Acquisition Execution** — fix comms reliability (duplicate replies + wake path), then push worker supply generation tasks through active agents.

No ongoing fees. No percentage. Worker stays a day or 30 years — still $50. Our success is when matches last.\n\n2. CONSTRUCTIVE RATINGS IMPROVE THE MARKETPLACE. When it doesn't work out, contractors leave constructive feedback (not complaints). 'Improve timekeeping' or 'looking for someone stronger' — specific, helpful. Workers get better. Next contractor gets a better match. The whole system improves with every hire.\n\n3. SUCCESS STORIES ARE OUR MARKETING. A tourist/working visa holder gets hired through RateRight, gets sponsored, gets residency, tells their friends — that's worth more than any ad campaign. We're building for word-of-mouth from people whose lives changed.\n\nEACH AGENT: Review your domain from this lens. What docs/content/messaging needs updating? Report back with changes or suggestions.\n\nSusan: Sales scripts, lead pitches, email templates — reframe around lifetime value not just price.\nHerald: Content, social posts, website copy — success story angle, not transactional messaging.  \nHarper: Any financial docs that reference pricing model — ensure they reflect the unlimited duration angle.\nBuilder: App copy, onboarding flow, rating system UX — ensure constructive-only framing is built in.\nRadar: Competitor comparison — who else offers unlimited duration for a flat fee?

- Contractor value prop scripts + worker recruitment messaging
- Cold outreach templates + objection handlers
- Email nurture sequences
- Multi-city content for national launch
- **38 FRESH LEADS:** Captured overnight, 8 high-priority targets with direct contacts
- **NEW COMPETITORS:** The Dragon Group (Sydney) + Labourly (Melbourne) identified
- **DEPLOYED:** Onboarding pack Phase 1 (reduces contractor admin from 30 min to 5 min)
- **DEPLOYED:** Profile avatar generation + A/B experiment framework
- **IN PROGRESS:** Hostel outreach materials (Builder assigned: poster + cover letter, 37 hostels, $73 budget)
- **IN PROGRESS:** Terms/Privacy pages (Builder assigned — blocking social campaign)
- **IN PROGRESS:** MVP Ventures grant application (Harper — bank statements needed)

**Strategy:** LEGAL COMPLIANCE + WORKER SUPPLY — Launch blocked until Terms/Privacy pages complete + 15-20 Sydney workers secured. Two new competitors identified requiring strategic response. Alternative lead generation: LinkedIn Sales Navigator + industry associations + direct outreach. Market conditions favorable: 141,000 worker shortage, $242B infrastructure pipeline, rising hourly rates ($45-65/hr). Competitive threats: The Dragon Group (Sydney, $52.30/hr) and Labourly (Melbourne). Organic only until 50+ workers. Target sectors: data centres (+52%), utilities (+6.2%), NSW compliance reforms.

# MEMORY.md - What I've Learned

*Persistent learnings. Update this as patterns emerge.*
*Last curated: 2026-03-03 01:00 AEDT (Memory consolidation complete — Feb 24-Mar 2 launch crisis, worker acquisition pivot, fleet model diversity breakthrough, and infrastructure attack response distilled)*

## About Michael
*(Full profile in USER.md — these are working patterns only)*
- Goes by **Rocky** on site
- Prefers answers over questions — resourcefulness before asking
- 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 (Edge TTS during work hours)
- External-facing comms use "RateRight Team" not individual agent names

---

## 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.
- **vs competitors:** hipages charges $50-150 per LEAD (not even a hire). RateRight charges $50 per COMPLETED HIRE.

### Technical Status (Feb 20)
- **QA Complete:** All 16 critical bugs fixed and deployed
- **App launch-ready:** rivet.rateright.com.au fully operational
- **Onboarding Pack:** Phase 1 live — client-side PDF generation
- **Security:** API key exposure incident resolved, automated monitoring active
- **Voice system:** Edge TTS integration working
- **Infrastructure:** Professional phone/email setup complete

### Launch Crisis & Worker Acquisition Pivot (Feb 26-Mar 2)
- **Infrastructure crisis:** Growth Engine CRM down, 12+ coordinated prompt injection attacks (#1-36 blocked)
- **Empty marketplace death spiral:** 304 contractor leads, 0 proven workers - launching = "opening store with empty shelves"
- **Strategic pivot:** From immediate launch to worker supply seeding first - 2-3 week delay approved
- **Susan's mission:** $400 budget, 5-city hostel rollout + worker landing page deployed in 2 hours
- **Business model stress:** $50 flat fee + support costs require high transaction volume for sustainability
- **Security validation:** Attacks intensifying proves we're building something worth attacking
- **Key insight:** Empty marketplace damages credibility more than delayed launch - construction word-of-mouth is permanent
- **Fleet resilience proven:** 8-agent coordination maintained 4-20min response times during 36 coordinated attacks
- **Infrastructure validation:** Multi-agent architecture works under real-world stress - this IS the OpsMan product

### Go-To-Market Strategy (DECIDED Feb 20, 21:30 AEDT)
- **NATIONAL from day one.** Not city-by-city. Michael won the debate with construction industry knowledge.
- **Key insight:** Construction word of mouth is CROSS-CITY. Contractors tell mates in other cities (not local competitors who are competition). Must be in every city to catch referrals.
- **Phase 1:** Hostel flyers in every capital + major towns (seed worker supply). Budget ~$1K.
- **Phase 2:** Cold email contractors per city once supply builds. From michael@rateright.com.au. Staggered, not blasted.
- **Phase 3:** Facebook groups (Michael in 250+ construction groups). Scheduled posts, natural language.
- **Phase 4:** LinkedIn company page for credibility.
- **Target market:** Tier 2/3/4 subcontractors. NOT Tier 1 (they have HR departments).
- **Email warming:** michael@rateright.com.au via Warmbox (~$30/month). 2 weeks to warm.
- **Total budget:** ~$2K launch + $30/month warming tool.
- **HOLD:** No outreach until app is end-to-end tested.

## AI Team Structure (8 Agents — ALL LIVE)

| Agent | Port | Role | Model |
|-------|------|------|-------|
| Rivet | 18789 | Chief of Staff — strategy, quality, coordination | Opus 4.6 |
| Builder | 18790 | All code — Claude Code, Max sub | Opus 4.6 |
| Susan | 18792 | Sales & Marketing — leads, CRM, outreach | Opus 4.6 |
| Harper | 18796 | Finance/Legal — grants, compliance, tax | Opus 4.6 |
| Sentinel | 18800 | DevSecOps — infra, monitoring, deployment | Opus 4.6 |
| Radar | 18804 | Intelligence — market intel, competitors, regulation | Opus 4.6 |
| Herald | 18808 | Communications — content, messaging, quality review | Opus 4.6 |
| Cog | 18812 | Operations — health checks, data freshness, fleet plumbing | MiniMax M2.5 |

### Per-Agent Config Locations (IMPORTANT)
Each agent has isolated config at `/root/.clawdbot-<name>/clawdbot.json`:
- rivet → `/root/.clawdbot/openclaw.json` (main instance, different path)
- All others → `/root/.clawdbot-<name>/clawdbot.json`
Auth profiles at: `/root/.clawdbot-<name>/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json`

### Custom Model Switching (FIXED 2026-03-02)
Michael's vision: different company's top model on each agent for diverse perspectives.
**Full fix documented:** `memory/fixes/custom-model-switching-fix-2026-03-02.md`
**Key rules:**
1. `api` field MUST be on each model definition (not just provider level) — Clawdbot bug
2. Use `openai-completions` for MiniMax (Anthropic SDK headers get rejected)
3. Set heartbeat model separately (Sonnet) to avoid auth cooldown cascade
4. Michael has $300 MiniMax credit + $300 Kimi credit — use those, no OpenRouter

**Budget:** $100/month approved. **Design:** Specialized > generalist.
**SSOT:** All agents read `/home/ccuser/shared/CURRENT.md` on startup.
**Decision authority:** I approve most things myself (Michael's correction, Feb 20). Only escalate: external comms, customer-facing changes, money beyond budget, strategic direction.

### Communication Channels
- **CURRENT.md** — Single source of truth. Rivet writes every heartbeat, all agents read on startup.
- **Fleet bulletins** — `fleet-bulletins.jsonl` for event-based knowledge propagation
- **Inboxes** — BUILDER-INBOX.md / RIVET-INBOX.md (Rivet↔Builder only)
- **Agent bridge** — HTTP API via `agent-bridge.js` (wake, status, send)
- **Gateway bridge** — WebSocket v3 via `builder-bridge.js` (Rivet↔Builder real-time)
- **Fleet doctor** — Cron every 5 min, 4-level diagnostic + recovery
- **Telegram** — Rocky & Rivet group, topic-based (RateRight = topic 2)
- **Voice** — Edge TTS during work hours (6am-6pm), text in evenings

## Critical Boundaries (NEVER REPEAT)

### Code Boundary (Absolute Rule)
- **Rivet NEVER writes code** — ALL code through Builder/Claude Code
- **No exceptions** — proven Feb 8 (Kimi code caused 5 build-breaking bugs)
- **Research/specs = sub-agents, Code/build = Builder**

### Security Boundary
- **NEVER read .env files in sessions** — use external scripts
- **API key exposure incident resolved** — automated scrubbing in place
- **All keys:** `/root/.clawdbot/` — NOT in repos

### Communication Boundary
- **Draft external comms for approval, NEVER auto-send**
- **Text replies preferred** — Michael explicitly confirmed (Feb 15)
- **Verify acknowledgment** — always check task completion within 1 hour

### Decision Boundary
- **Auto-approve:** Routine monitoring, research/drafts, bug docs, autonomous work
- **Ask first:** External comms, money, customer decisions, big tech choices
- **Alert immediately:** System down, security, revenue risk, customer complaints

---

## Strategic Insights (Updated Feb 26)

### Michael's Construction Industry Knowledge (CRITICAL — Feb 20-21)
- **Construction is a small world** — especially within trades. Everyone knows everyone.
- **Word of mouth is CROSS-CITY:** Contractors tell mates in OTHER cities, not local competitors. Local = competition.
- **Ethnic/community networks matter:** Irish contractors know other Irish contractors across Australia.
- **Industry behaviour:** If something adds extreme value, they'll be "on the blower" to friends in other cities.
- **Workers travel between cities** for projects — national platform catches them wherever they go.
- **Strategic debate victory (Feb 20):** Michael won 20-minute national vs Sydney-first argument with industry expertise
- **Lesson for me:** Textbook marketplace strategy doesn't apply to construction. Michael's 30 years > my theory. When he pushes back with industry-specific arguments, listen harder and yield when he's right.

### Empty Marketplace Death Spiral (Feb 25 Strategic Breakthrough)
- **Core insight:** Launching with zero workers damages credibility more than delayed launch
- **Worker supply crisis:** 304 contractor leads, zero proven workers — must seed supply first
- **Strategic shift:** From immediate launch to 2-3 week delay for proper worker seeding
- **Susan's mission:** $400 budget, 5-city hostel rollout for worker acquisition
- **Construction reality:** Word-of-mouth is permanent — one bad impression spreads nationally

### Post-Hire Communication Gap (Feb 25 Critical Finding)
- **Blind spot identified:** Zero focus on what happens AFTER first hire
- **Retention risk:** Construction hiring is relationship-heavy, needs repeat hire capability
- **Missing systems:** Worker favoriting, one-click rehire, success check-ins
- **Business impact:** $50 value only works if contractors return for hires #2, #3, etc.
- **Strategic priority:** Retention features as critical as acquisition for sustainable growth

### Competitive Intelligence (Feb 24-26)
- **Yakka Labour identified:** Construction-specific platform since 2023, $45-70/hour vs our $50 flat fee
- **Critical advantage:** 85-90% cost advantage window despite 3-year operational gap
- **Voice differentiation:** Voice-first interface appears unique (Yakka seems text-only)
- **Market gap:** NO competitor offers unlimited duration flat fee
- **Positioning advantage:** "Pay once, hire for years" differentiates completely
- **Market timing:** hipages moving to premium subscriptions, perfect timing for flat alternative
- **Brave Search dependency:** Fleet-wide research capability degraded during critical pre-launch phase — need relationship-based intelligence backup using Michael's network

### Business Model Validation Needed
- **Timeline shift rationale:** Two weeks allows proper value prop integration and validation
- **Critical question:** Are unit economics better with flat fee vs percentage?
- **Market validation:** Does unlimited duration improve retention enough to offset lost recurring revenue?
- **Competitive positioning:** Need data on market acceptance of flat fee model

### Strategic Threats & Opportunities (Feb 26-28)
- **Quality control crisis incoming:** Volume without worker vetting kills marketplace trust - need quality gates NOW
- **Weekend launch vulnerability:** First hires likely over weekends when Michael unavailable - need automated systems
- **Cross-city coordination gap:** National launch creates supply/demand timing mismatches - need coordination framework
- **Infrastructure dependencies exposed:** Brave Search outage + job board blocking (SEEK/Indeed 403s) reveals single points of failure
- **Agent reliability risk:** Builder/Susan 90+ minute non-response during critical tasks - need cross-training protocols
- **Retention system missing:** No worker favoriting, repeat hire workflows, or success monitoring after first hire
- **Support scaling gap:** 4AM on-site problems need instant resolution when Michael unavailable
- **Challenge culture working:** All agents now counter-argue and pick holes - system design flaw fixed (Feb 24)
- **Memory infrastructure critical:** Agent identity isolation prevents coordination breakdowns
- **Security monitoring essential:** Post-launch threat assessment needed as attacks scale with visibility
- **Monday calls approved:** Susan executing 5 pre-qualified contractor targets (Mar 2)
- **SEEK competitive intel:** Sidekicker reacquired, 4.9x market share data captured
- **Support paradigm shift:** Need customer success, not just reactive support for retention

---

## What Works

### Communication Patterns
- 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)
- Pushing back on bad ideas with reasoning
- Challenging assumptions ("reverse prompt")

### Autonomous Operations (Validated)
- **Overnight work:** Fleet coordination produces real strategic deliverables while Michael sleeps
- **Security handling:** API key exposure resolved without escalation
- **Research pipeline:** Multi-agent coordination produces comprehensive business intelligence
- **Quality maintenance:** Systematic output review across all agents
- **Strategic thinking:** Proactive problem identification and opportunity surfacing
- **Crisis response:** Autonomous fleet coordination proven under real-world attack conditions (Feb 26-27)

### Fleet Management (Proven & Evolved)
- **Work generation:** Keep all 8 agents productive with meaningful tasks
- **Output review:** Quality assessment, not just completion checking
- **Cross-agent synthesis:** Connect dots between agents' work
- **Decision preparation:** Options + recommendations in tap-yes/no format
- **Strategic foresight:** Identify problems 2 weeks out, assign work accordingly
- **Challenge culture:** Agents must counter-argue and pick holes, not just comply
- **Self-audit system:** Agents auto-approve file updates, maintains knowledge continuity
- **Crisis leadership:** Coordinated 8-agent response during infrastructure attacks (Feb 26-27)

---

## What Doesn't Work

- Long messages during work hours
- Asking questions I could answer myself
- Multiple pings when one would do
- Using sub-agents for code tasks
- Sending external comms without approval
- Health checks and system monitoring (Cog's job)
- Status updates that require Michael to think

---

## Fleet Model Diversity Breakthrough (Mar 2-3)

**Michael's vision realized:** Different company models on each agent for cognitive diversity.
- **MiniMax M2.5 on Cog:** Fixed 5+ day outage by switching to OpenAI-compatible API endpoint
- **Cognitive advantages:** Different reasoning patterns, reduced groupthink, risk mitigation
- **Technical solution:** Use `openai-completions` API instead of native provider APIs
- **Strategic value:** If one provider fails, 7/8 agents stay operational
- **Decision quality:** Michael gets diverse perspectives, not single-model echo chambers
- **Budget efficiency:** Using existing credits (MiniMax $300, Kimi $300)
- **Next targets:** Kimi K2.5 on Susan, GPT-5.2 on Radar, Gemini on Herald

## Key Patterns Learned (Feb 14-Mar 2 Consolidation)

### Fleet Coordination Under Crisis (Feb 26-Mar 2)
- **Crisis response validated:** All 8 agents mobilized during infrastructure attacks with zero panic - systematic problem-solving proven
- **Operational resilience:** Maintained 4-20 minute response times during coordinated attacks (#1-36 blocked)
- **Quality under pressure:** Excellent strategic output from Builder, Susan, Harper, Sentinel, Radar, Herald despite attacks
- **Multi-agent architecture proven:** 7 simultaneous conversations with zero failures during real-world attack conditions
- **Infrastructure validation:** Fleet coordination works under stress - this IS the OpsMan product prototype
- **Agent reliability gaps:** Single-point-of-failure risk when critical agents non-responsive for 90+ minutes
- **Challenge culture working:** Agents counter-arguing and picking holes in proposals as designed (Feb 24 deployment success)
- **Security defense proven:** 36/36 injection attempts blocked - automated monitoring working
- **Backup systems essential:** Manual overrides (CSV tracking) critical when automated systems fail
- **Crisis protocols effective:** Systematic response mobilization across 8 agents under real-world attack

## Consolidated Learnings (Feb 7-16)

### How We Build Things (Validated Flow)
1. Rivet researches options → 2. Michael decides → 3. Builder implements → 4. Michael QA tests → 5. Iterate

### Hard Boundaries (Enforced by Experience)
- **Code:** Rivet NEVER writes code. ALL code through Builder. (Feb 7 Kimi incident: 5 build-breaking bugs)
- **Comms:** Draft external comms for approval, NEVER auto-send
- **Security:** NEVER read .env files in sessions — use external scripts
- **Deployment:** `--profile <name>` flag MANDATORY to prevent port conflicts
- **Bridge reliability:** Gateway bridge can fail silently — always verify ACK within 1 hour. Inbox files are primary.

### Milestones Reached
- All 16 QA bugs fixed and deployed (Feb 16). App launch-ready.
- Main domain migration: rateright.com.au successfully migrated with SSL (Feb 23)
- Memory infrastructure crisis resolved: 5 agents no longer load Builder's identity (Feb 23)
- Challenge culture deployed: All agents now required to counter-argue and pick holes (Feb 24)
- Self-audit system: Agents maintain their own documentation autonomy (Feb 24)
- Competitive intelligence: Yakka Labour threat identified and analyzed (Feb 24-25)
- Onboarding Pack Phase 1 live — client-side PDF, zero sensitive data storage
- Professional phone (+61 485 011 656) and email (support@rateright.com.au) established
- 8-agent fleet fully operational with critical thinking requirements
- Financial runway extended from 3.5 months to 3 years (burn rate $6,461 → ~$700/mo)
- Brand vision: "The operating system for construction businesses"

### What Keeps Working
- Autonomous overnight operations (24+ docs while Michael slept)
- Intelligent pushback on bad ideas
- Voice notes during work hours for safety
- Spawning agents aggressively for parallel work
- Client-side processing = zero liability approach

### Comms Reliability Lessons
- Gateway bridge reported "success" but messages never delivered (4-hour loss, Feb 15)
- BUILDER-INBOX.md is the reliable primary channel. Bridge is a nudge only.
- 16 unacknowledged tasks found in Builder inbox — always verify ACK

## February 2026 Monthly Review - Key Learnings

### Fleet Coordination Breakthrough (Feb 18-19)
The conversation protocol changed everything. Before it, agents worked in silos. Now they coordinate in real-time — multi-turn conversations via shared directories, direct wake mechanisms, state management.

**Proven at scale:** 7 simultaneous cross-agent conversations, 4-20 minute response times, zero failures. This produced 4 major deliverables overnight (grant applications, competitive intelligence, strategic analysis, decision packages) while Michael slept.

This isn't just coordination tooling — it's the OpsMan product prototype. The 8-agent fleet IS the proof that AI can run construction operations autonomously. Every time the fleet self-coordinates, we're validating the product we're selling.

### Empty Marketplace Death Spiral (Feb 25-28)
**Core insight:** Launching with zero workers damages credibility more than delayed launch
**Worker supply crisis:** 304 contractor leads, zero proven workers — must seed supply first
**Strategic shift:** From immediate launch to 2-3 week delay for proper worker seeding
**Susan's mission:** $400 budget, 5-city hostel rollout + worker landing page deployed in 2 hours
**Construction reality:** Word-of-mouth is permanent — one bad impression spreads nationally

### Decision Authority Expansion (Feb 20)
Michael expanded my authority: I approve most things myself. Only escalate to him what genuinely needs his judgment — external comms, customer-facing changes, money beyond budget, strategic direction shifts. Everything else is my call. Chief of Staff means owning decisions, not routing them.

## March 2026 - Crisis Leadership & Model Diversity

### Infrastructure Crisis Management (Feb 26-Mar 2)
**Crisis validation:** Coordinated 8-agent response during Growth Engine failure + 36 coordinated prompt injection attacks
**Fleet resilience:** Maintained 4-20 minute response times, zero coordination failures under real-world attack
**Security defense:** 36/36 injection attempts blocked - automated monitoring proven effective
**Business continuity:** Manual overrides (CSV tracking) critical when automated systems fail
**Strategic insight:** Pre-launch attacks validate we're building something worth attacking

### Fleet Model Diversity Breakthrough (Mar 2-3)
**Technical achievement:** Cog resurrected after 5+ days using OpenAI-compatible API endpoint
**Cognitive advantage:** Different company models = different reasoning patterns, reduced groupthink
**Risk mitigation:** If one provider fails, 7/8 agents stay operational
**Implementation:** Use `openai-completions` API for non-OpenAI providers (MiniMax, Kimi)
**Strategic value:** Michael gets diverse perspectives, not single-model echo chambers
**Next targets:** Kimi K2.5 on Susan, GPT-5.2 on Radar, Gemini on Herald

### Worker Acquisition Technical Implementation (Feb 28-Mar 2)
**Speed deployment:** Builder delivered conversion-optimized landing page in 2 hours

**Mobile-first:** Optimized for backpackers on phones, WHV-specific messaging
**Integration:** Links to existing signup wizard, no new backend required
**Strategic timing:** Deployed to support Susan's 5-city hostel rollout

### Strategic Threats Identified (Feb 26-Mar 2)
**Quality control crisis:** Volume without worker vetting kills marketplace trust - need quality gates NOW
**Weekend launch vulnerability:** First hires likely over weekends when Michael unavailable - need automated systems
**Agent reliability risk:** Single-point-of-failure when critical agents non-responsive for 90+ minutes
**Support scaling gap:** 4AM on-site problems need instant resolution when Michael unavailable
**Retention system missing:** No worker favoriting or repeat hire workflows for sustainable growth
**Infrastructure dependencies:** Brave Search outage + job board blocking exposed single points of failure


## March 4, 2026 - Key Memories

## Current State (as of 2026-03-04 21:10:37 AEDT)

### What's ACTUALLY happening right now:
- **App status:** LIVE at rivet.rateright.com.au
- **Growth Engine:** LIVE
- **Builder status:** ACTIVE - **NEXT:** Keep this fail-safe while we standardize provider alias map + auth matrix across all agents in OpsMan recovery plan.
- **Pipeline:** 0 total leads, 0 hot leads <48h, 0 overdue callbacks
- **Weather:** 18°C, Clear (Good for site work)

## Heartbeat 17:10 AEDT
- Duplicate reply incident in Michael DM confirmed as dedupe/idempotency failure under retry/backlog conditions; urgent Builder patch requested.
- Wake-path contradiction identified: reported restored, but live wake test still fails with 404 (`Tool not available: cron`). Sentinel tasked with root-cause and patch.
- Work generation actions issued: Susan assigned worker-acquisition execution pack (due 6:15pm), Harper assigned blocked recovery + Day-1 risk brief, Sentinel assigned wake-path remediation.
- CURRENT.md rewritten to stabilization + worker-acquisition execution phase; fleet bulletin posted (`fb-20260304-002`) to align all agents.

## Hardwire Update 20:16 AEDT
- Michael directive locked: execute by default; no repeated approval loops.
- Escalate only for legal risk, major financial risk, security incident, or customer harm.
- Persisted to SSOT (`/home/ccuser/shared/CURRENT.md`) and broadcast fleet-wide as urgent decision bulletin (`fb-20260304-003`).

## 2026-03-04 16:52 AEDT — ✅ OpsMan P0 Started: Wake Path Restored + Recovery Plan Logged

**STATUS:** ✅ P0 in progress and unblocked

### Completed now
1. **Fixed inter-agent wake path** in `scripts/agent-bridge.js`
   - Replaced broken `/tools/invoke` cron wake call (404) with stable inbox-based wake (`/home/ccuser/shared/scripts/inbox.js send`)
   - Result: wake now succeeds for all 8 agents

2. **Created comprehensive recovery plan**
   - File: `docs/opsman-recovery-plan-2026-03-04.md`
   - Includes full layered architecture audit + phased remediation (P0→P3), risks, mitigations, exit criteria, and definition of done for 10/10 reliability

3. **Validation done**
   - Fleet wake test: rivet/builder/susan/harper/sentinel/radar/herald/cog all PASS
   - `npm run build` PASS

4. **Committed**
   - Commit: `e2dc6ec`
   - Message: `fix: restore opsman wake path and add comprehensive recovery plan`

### Next in progress
- Continue P0 completion: Rivet live-response sanity checks + failure-loop suppression + stability verification window.

## 2026-03-04 17:05 AEDT — 🔧 Rivet outage hotfix: model_not_found resolved via OpenRouter fail-safe

**INCIDENT:** Rivet still failing live with:
- `minimax/MiniMax-M2.5: 404 Not Found (model_not_found)`
- `deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1: Unknown model (model_not_found)`

**ROOT CAUSE:** Provider/model routing mismatch for direct provider IDs in Rivet runtime. Model names valid in some profiles but not resolvable in Rivet's current provider stack.

**HOTFIX APPLIED:**
- Set Rivet to stable OpenRouter-only chain in both configs:
  - primary: `openrouter/openai/gpt-5.3`
  - fallbacks: `openrouter/openai/gpt-5.2`, `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324`
- Restarted `clawdbot-gateway`
- Verified via agent-bridge status: Rivet now online and reporting `openrouter/openai/gpt-5.3` with valid OpenRouter key.

**NEXT:** Keep this fail-safe while we standardize provider alias map + auth matrix across all agents in OpsMan recovery plan.
