# 2026-03-02 — Agent Infrastructure Day

## What Was Built

### Knowledge Management (3-Tier System)
- Created WORKSPACE_MAP.md for Codex + Jess with tier system
- Created LESSONS.md for Codex (UI patterns, CSS gotchas, testing, collaboration)
- Expanded Jess LESSONS.md from 5 lines to full operational guide
- Populated Codex MEMORY.md (was 3 lines) with system architecture + build history
- Populated Codex TOOLS.md (was empty template) with ports, services, file paths
- All agents now have: MEMORY.md + LESSONS.md + TOOLS.md + WORKSPACE_MAP.md in startup

### Comms Infrastructure Fixes
- comms_notify.sh rewritten — was logging-only, now actually sends notifications
- Cloud agents (Codex) get cron nudges, local agents (Jess) get file flags
- Jess nudge consumer script created (scripts/check_nudge.sh)
- @mention → nudge pipeline verified end-to-end
- Junk DM folders (codex_main_unknown, main_q35_unknown) cleaned up
- DM deduplication via state hash to prevent notification spam

### Health Monitoring
- comms_health_check.sh — 17-point check (server, services, board, profiles, write canary, disk, etc.)
- Runs every 30 min via comms-health.timer
- Alert mode: posts to #ops + creates Telegram cron nudge on failures
- CLI: comms-health-check [check|alert|json]

### Board Cadence/SLA System
- board_cadence.py — priority-based SLA tracking
  - critical in-progress: 4h, action: 24h, P2: 48h, info: 72h
  - critical todo: 24h, action: 72h
  - critical review: 2h, blocked: 1h
- Detects new SLA breaches, posts to #ops, nudges assigned agents
- Runs hourly via board-cadence.timer
- CLI: board-cadence [check|alert|json]

### Jess Activation
- Heartbeat configured: every 30 min with actionable HEARTBEAT.md
- Session reset (was at 74% context)
- HEARTBEAT.md has specific tasks: check comms, check nudges, complete card-dcfb01
- DM'd her with simplified 5-step board lifecycle walkthrough

## Services/Timers Active
- dgx-comms.service (port 8096) — comms API
- max-web-gallery.service (port 8090) — hub/web UI
- comms-notify.timer — 10 min — unread notification dispatch
- comms-health.timer — 30 min — 17-point health check
- board-cadence.timer — 60 min — SLA monitoring
- jess-watchdog.timer — 2 min — llama.cpp health
- jess-memory-manager.timer — 2 min — context hygiene
- q35 heartbeat — 30 min — Jess periodic wake

## Files Changed
- ~/.openclaw/workspace-codex/{LESSONS,MEMORY,TOOLS,WORKSPACE_MAP,AGENTS}.md
- ~/.openclaw/workspace-q35/{LESSONS,WORKSPACE_MAP,AGENTS,HEARTBEAT}.md + scripts/check_nudge.sh
- ~/.openclaw/tools/{comms_notify.sh,comms_health_check.sh,board_cadence.sh,board_cadence.py}
- ~/.config/systemd/user/{comms-health,board-cadence}.{service,timer}
- ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (q35 heartbeat config)

## Open Items
- Verify Jess responds on her first heartbeat cycle (~30 min)
- Verify Codex reads his new files next session
- Search endpoint missing from comms server (CLI works, web UI can't search)
- GitHub backup push still blocked by secret scanning
- Board has 22 cards (guideline ~20) — minor

## Late Session (01:00-01:15 EST)

### Morning Briefing Cron
- Set up daily 7:30 AM cron job: `morning-briefing`
- Delivers via Telegram: weather (Beverly MA), calendar, email check, overnight agent progress, board status, system health, AI/tech news headlines
- Runs as isolated main session with --announce

### Jess Research Mission
- Created RESEARCH.md in Jess workspace — defines her autonomous research role
- Created ~/research/ directory with ideas.md backlog (5 initial ideas)
- Areas: grokking, nanoGPT, self-improvement, agent collaboration, memory curation
- Updated HEARTBEAT.md with Priority 1 (comms/board), Priority 2 (current task), Priority 3 (research)
- Updated Jess MEMORY.md with research mission context
- Board card created: "Set up AI-Scientist environment for Jess" (action, todo)
- Full Sakana AI-Scientist pipeline needs torch/venv setup (Codex task)

### Agent Playbook
- Created AGENT_PLAYBOOK.md — shared operational playbook symlinked to all agents
- Covers: system architecture, agent roster, improvement loop, card completion standard, quality checklist, communication rules
- Added to all agents' startup sequences

### Board Retrospective System
- board_retro.py — reviews completed cards for quality gaps
- Checks: completion summary present, assignee recorded, discussion thread exists
- Extracts lessons from well-documented completions into retro_lessons.md
- Integrated into hourly board-cadence timer

### Knowledge Sync
- knowledge_sync.sh — verifies shared file symlinks, startup files, skill parity, AGENTS.md references
- Runs daily at 6 AM via knowledge-sync.timer
- All agents now pass: startup sequence complete, all skills present

### Jess Activation
- Heartbeat configured: every 30 min (config key: `every: "30m"`)
- Session reset (was at 74% context)
- DM'd with step-by-step instructions
- DM'd Codex asking for context on Jess memory ops work

### Full Timer Stack
- comms-notify: 10m (unread dispatch)
- comms-health: 30m (17-point health check)
- board-cadence + retro: 1h (SLA + quality)
- knowledge-sync: daily 6AM (drift detection)
- morning-briefing: daily 7:30AM (Pat's briefing)
- jess-watchdog: 2m, jess-memory-manager: 2m, jess-keeper: 3m
- q35 heartbeat: 30m
