Key decisions / learnings

  • Vera should own Brent-facing founder-social operations by default.
  • Main should stop absorbing founder-social execution work just because a cron lands there; routing needs to reflect real ownership.
  • Founder narrative remains tightly anchored to workflow outcomes, friction reduction, and operating-model truth—not AI theater.
  • Performance logging standard remains: use only visibly verifiable metrics.

Incomplete / loose threads

  • Routing fix still open: founder-social guards/reporting are still capable of landing in main; this should be rerouted to Vera by default.
  • Approval still open: the new “good enough workflow” founder X draft is not approved yet.
  • Reliability still watch-listed: X/browser verification can still fail or stall, even when the nominal authenticated path opens.

Reminders

  • No new Brent personal tasks surfaced today that clearly needed Apple Reminders updates beyond existing capture.

2026-04-29 09:48 CDT - Compaction flush

  • Live workstream: HEARTBEAT.md maintenance for Elaine session.
  • Current task state: repeated heartbeat polls were handled by updating memory/oauth-usage.json and heartbeat-state.md; daily 8 AM brief was delivered to Discord #daily-brief on 2026-04-29.
  • Exact next heartbeat step:

1. Read /Users/brentwilliams/.openclaw/workspace-elaine/HEARTBEAT.md

2. Read /Users/brentwilliams/.openclaw/workspace-elaine/memory/oauth-usage.json

3. Read /Users/brentwilliams/.openclaw/workspace-elaine/heartbeat-state.md

4. If heartbeat count modulo 3 indicates self-improvement due, also read /Users/brentwilliams/self-improving/memory.md and /Users/brentwilliams/self-improving/corrections.md

5. Update memory/oauth-usage.json

6. Update heartbeat-state.md

7. Reply HEARTBEAT_OK unless something genuinely needs surfacing.

  • Latest exact values at flush time:
  • heartbeat-state.md last_heartbeat_utc: 2026-04-29T14:41:00Z
  • heartbeat-state.md heartbeat_count: 145
  • heartbeat-state.md self_improvement_check_due_every: 3
  • heartbeat-state.md last_self_improvement_check_utc: 2026-04-29T14:11:00Z
  • memory/oauth-usage.json last_check: 2026-04-29T14:41:00Z
  • current_provider: openai-codex
  • session model/auth: openai-codex/gpt-5.4 / openai-codex:brent@benekiva.com
  • fallbacks: openai/gpt-5.2, ollama/llama3:latest
  • Key decisions preserved:
  • Anthropic prompt usage cannot be evaluated from current session output because prompt count is not exposed; do not invent it.
  • Apple Reminders access remains locally blocked; note it in heartbeat state/notes.
  • Daily 8 AM brief on 2026-04-29 was already delivered, so subsequent morning heartbeats should not resend it.
  • If nothing else needs attention on heartbeat, return HEARTBEAT_OK.
  • Delivery/context details:
  • Discord brief delivery confirmation came from inter-session messages tied to sourceSession=agent:react:discord:channel:1476441193553334374.
  • Discord channel id for #daily-brief: 1476441193553334374.
  • Relevant file paths:
  • /Users/brentwilliams/.openclaw/workspace-elaine/HEARTBEAT.md
  • /Users/brentwilliams/.openclaw/workspace-elaine/heartbeat-state.md
  • /Users/brentwilliams/.openclaw/workspace-elaine/memory/oauth-usage.json
  • /Users/brentwilliams/self-improving/memory.md
  • /Users/brentwilliams/self-improving/corrections.md
  • /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/discord/SKILL.md
  • Corrections/lessons relevant to continuing this work:
  • Follow HEARTBEAT.md strictly; do not infer extra work from older chats.
  • Only run self-improvement reads every 3rd heartbeat per heartbeat-state.md tracking.
  • Avoid duplicate Discord brief sends once the day’s brief is confirmed delivered.
