My Projects — Cross-Project Tracker

The single place where the portfolio is tracked across every thread and every project. Maintained by the project-tracker skill from the session logs, memory, git history, and each project's own wiki. This is the backing data for the future My OS project-tracker component.

Last synthesized: 2026-07-12 (ACS doc/planning cleanup session — 2 stale plans fixed, 1 UX spec approved, 3 decisions collected, no code changed). Grounded in each project's vault wiki; Chronos grounded in live claude plugin CLI output + PR #1.

How to read this

Every project has a one-pager (what it is, value prop, customer, benefits, stage, latest change, next). The Progress log at the bottom is append-only: it is the running record of how the portfolio moves over time, so the story is never lost when a SESSION.md gets overwritten by another thread. Health is honest, not green-washed (see Operating-Principles).

Active now (per Arijit, 2026-07-01) — and which tool

The tracker must reflect what is ACTIVE and which tool it is worked in (parallel work across tools must not collide). Per Arijit:

Project	Tool	Folder (disk)	GitHub repo	Bucket
Algolia Content Engagement (Central2)	Claude	RAG/Algolia-Central2	algolia-contentsearch (main + refactor/2x2-answer-quality-lab)	Active — TOP of list
Scout	Codex (desktop)	Scout	(own repo)	Active
CI-OS (Competitive Intelligence)	Codex	CI-OS (not yet a git repo: docs/index.md/skills)	none yet	Active
CurioQuest	Codex	Personal/CurioQuest	-	Active
PRISM + PIP	Claude (here)	PIP (backend) + ~/prism (frontend)	prism.git (→PIP) + prism.git (→PRISM)	Active
Algolia Central	Claude/Codex	RAG/AlgoliaRAG-Google (git checkout at rc2-algolia; rc3-phoenix = loose files, NOT git)	algolia-central (algolia-central.vercel.app)	Active (older; Content Engagement is its current phase)
LENS (LinkedInOS)	-	LENS	-	Exploratory (idea, not built)
Trader app	-	Personal/<tbd>	-	Planned
Crawler-Factory, Video-Editing	-	-	-	Parked

All folders under ~/Dropbox/AI-Development/. Housekeeping smells to fix: folder names ≠ repo names (Algolia-Central2→algolia-contentsearch; rc2-algolia→algolia-central); rc3-phoenix holds unversioned loose files; CI-OS not yet under git. Note: vault algolia-central2 project == Algolia Content Engagement (the 2x2 Answer-Quality Lab is its refactor branch).

One-pagers

PRISM

• What it is: Chowmes-PRISM, a dedicated Hermes agent on the VPS that runs the algolia-* skill suite to produce full prospect search audits, then acts as a grounded Q&A sales coach (Telegram + in-SPA chat) anchored exclusively to the audit report.
• Value proposition: Turns a prospect audit into an always-available, fabrication-blocked sales coach for call prep, replacing manual report reading before every AE call.
• Customer: Algolia AEs and BDRs; Arijit as operator/builder.
• Key benefits: Grounded report-QA gate (Gemini judge blocks/rewrites unsupported claims); GitHub-to-VPS auto-deploy for the frontend (prism-hub); a real schema-validation gate now confirmed working end to end; a portfolio-wide legal-risk sweep completed and independently verified.
• Stage & health: 🟡 At-risk (named, not hidden). A routine Lululemon data-fix request turned into a 6+hr forensic pass on 2026-07-09 that surfaced the real reason audits keep needing repeat fixes: no single source of truth for pipeline code, data, or output shape. 3 systemic bugs found and fixed — they were silently affecting every audit, not just Lululemon's (data-quality flag dropped before factcheck could see it; ROI formula inflating dollar-impact ~5x; a filename typo zeroing out industry-benchmarks on every audit ever run). Root cause named: the GitHub skill repo and the code running on the VPS have drifted apart across ~40 skills with zero sync mechanism. A written SOP for the resulting 19-company re-validation queue was authored 2026-07-09 night (docs/sop/AUDIT-REVALIDATION-SOP.md) and got its first real resume-from-crash test on Belk 2026-07-10 — found the crashed prior session had left fabricated data live on the served page (pulled to a holding page immediately), fixed 8 real defects (see Recently), final gate v6 WARN 8.3/blocking_count 0, live again. The class of bug shifted from "pipeline code drift" to "client-render field-name mismatches silently producing blank/wrong-looking sections" — a new, distinct failure mode the SOP didn't originally anticipate. V2 architecture work (Postgres+pgvector, Claude Agent SDK, 6-role cockpit) is still the target state and unaffected — this is reliability work on the CURRENT pipeline.
• Recently: 2026-07-10 (post-midnight): Belk re-validation resumed post-crash. Caught and pulled fabricated live data (hiring roles, a 3x-wrong competitor revenue figure) before any further work. Fixed 8 real defects: a DB-write agent that silently sourced from the wrong file (caught by a nested-payload check, not the status columns that looked fine); a partner-intel client-render field mismatch that flattened 6 real relationships into identical fake-looking cards (pruned to the 1 confirmed one per Arijit's "only validated stays" rule); a screenshot filename mismatch (every finding image 404'd silently); Arijit's own manually WAF-passed screenshot, on disk but never wired in; a signal mislabeled "Partnership" that was actually a competitive threat; a self-admitted weak signal still rendering HIGH-urgency (renderer hardcodes severity); a Solution Map with no real case-study proof; and a duplicated/mislabeled press quote found only because the final gate was told to independently spot-check untouched sections. Also fixed: 4 other companies (Foot Locker, Michael Kors, The North Face, Torrid) found silently missing from the hub listing page (Belk fixed, those 4 flagged not yet fixed), a stale baked-in fallback snapshot, workspace/served screenshot drift. 2026-07-09: full Lululemon re-validation (real factcheck skill, all 23 dimensions) plus the 3 systemic bug fixes above; Crossbeam MCP and Scout local-scrape both tested live and found to work (were just unused/misconfigured, not broken).
• Next: Clear Belk's 3 remaining cosmetic gate warnings for a clean PROCEED. Add the 4 other hub-missing companies back to the listing page. The other 17 companies in the SOP's re-validation queue are explicitly NOT started — real cost (~400-500k tokens/company per the SOP's own estimate) needs Arijit's explicit go-ahead before fanning out, same as Belk needed tonight. Separately: Arijit's GO on the declared BDR+Marketer cockpit fan-out remains open; chat-as-operator stays backend-gated.

Scout

• What it is: A self-hosted universal web acquisition and evidence engine on Crawl4AI, exposed as a FastAPI service (localhost:8421), a CLI/package, a Docker service, and a Claude/Codex skill. Acquires, structures, and cites web evidence; never interprets.
• Value proposition: Gives downstream agents a trusted, evidence-first acquisition layer with source provenance, including a human-assisted rung for anti-bot walls automated tools cannot clear.
• Customer: Arijit's own downstream projects (PRISM, algolia-* skills, competitive intel, catalog + job workflows); eventual external devs via a hosted private-beta API.
• Key benefits: Crawl4AI core for all fetch/extract; human-assisted rung proven vs PerimeterX (615 real Zillow listings); Pydantic contracts everywhere; 295 unit + 14 integration tests green (2026-06-22).
• Stage & health: Beta — hosted SaaS LIVE at scout.chowmes.com (commit 908f6d9, 2026-07-06); invites held until e2e ready. On-track.
• Recently: Full site rebuild shipped (mint-neumorphism design, PLG console homepage wired to new anonymous demo API, new pricing Free 5k / $12·50k monthly, generic Destinations Webhook+Algolia). Design language, reticle logo, and pricing model LOCKED to repo docs/product/. 888 unit tests green at deploy, live-verified (2026-07-06).
• Next: Arijit: support@ DNS (ImprovMX records given) + Mintlify signup. Claude: wire branded key-delivery email, Mintlify docs migration, GTM plan, prod e2e of new flow.

algolia-central2

• What it is: An internal Answer-Quality Lab: a 2x2 experiment comparing retrieval type (keyword vs neural) x agent architecture (single vs multi-agent) for Agent Studio over the algolia.com corpus, with an LLM judge scoring all four panels.
• Value proposition: Rigorous evidence (not assumption) on whether neural beats keyword and multi-agent beats single-agent for website Q&A, with a grounded judge on grounding/confidence/depth.
• Customer: Algolia product + GTM teams; feeds a POC direction with Adobe and Contentstack; eventual production on algolia.com.
• Key benefits: Fairness invariant across panels; Maverick coordinator + 4 source-scoped specialists; daily delta-sync; content-source scoping killed by spike (no lift, saves build); lessons-log discipline.
• Stage & health: In build. On-track. expandedQuery removed (dc03bc7); native-memory probe negative (03e9184); content-source routing spike killed 2026-06-28.
• Next: Support-honed prompt + warm-baton multi-turn A/B.

ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum)

• What it is: A demo/sales instance of the algolia-central2 grounded conversational-agent panel running on Adobe/Spectrum's own docs as the prospect corpus — proves the architecture ports to any corpus. Also the reference build for a reusable "Algolia-Central" design-system framework.
• Value proposition: A live, working demo an AE can show a prospect (Adobe) using their own real documentation, grounded and judge-verified.
• Customer: Algolia sales/GTM teams; the framework piece also serves future Algolia-Central-[company] instances.
• Key benefits: 110%-grounded 3-agent panel (Generic + Technical + an internal classifier), live judge scoring in the chat UI, deployed and publicly reachable.
• Stage & health: 🟢 Shipping, on-track. Production unchanged since 2026-07-10 (classifier fix live, stable — see prior log entries). 2026-07-12 session was doc/planning cleanup only, no code: archived one stale plan doc and deleted+rewrote a second in place (its proposed Track A/B decision never actually shipped — replaced with an as-shipped summary of the classifier design + a scoped AC2-port task list). Ran the brainstorming skill on the previously-unscoped "sample-questions UI hint" — root-caused the real problem (chips exist but look visually inert) and got an approved small spec (copy label + promoted resting-style chips), not yet built. Collected 3 decisions from Arijit: mandate-guard.sh gets a real hook redesign (not a settings.json rule); AC2 port scoping started (3 decisions still pending before code); 100-Q eval + judge calibration deferred again.
• Next: build the approved empty-state spec (docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-10-empty-state-sample-question-nudge-design.md); get Arijit's 3 remaining AC2-port decisions (agent roster, browser-direct vs backend-mediated, dead-code disposition); start the mandate-guard.sh hook redesign; run the 100-Q eval + judge calibration (both still never run).

CurioQuest

• What it is: A product generating personalized, curriculum-aligned STEM storybooks where the child is the hero of a science mystery, paired with parent-child activities, aimed at school submissions and KDP publishing.
• Value proposition: Personalized child-as-hero narrative + real science-through-story + premium illustration + versioned provenance, so it feels like a polished children's book, not an AI output.
• Customer: Parents and schools wanting premium STEM storybooks; potential KDP/retail channel.
• Key benefits: Emotionally engaging + curriculum-faithful; child-as-hero; guide TEACHES science warmly (teaching model C) + kids do something; hands-on activity; owned IP (Professor T-Rex). Provider stack: text = Claude (Fable 5, story-writer role only), images + vision = Gemini (OpenAI removed 2026-07-06 on cost grounds).
• Stage & health: 🟡 In build, at-risk-but-executing. Automated pipeline DISCARDED 2026-07-07 after founder scored the 2nd book (Water Cycle) -1/10. Full reset via superpowers:brainstorming → writing-plans: editor-in-chief craft studio (founder approves every artifact; one real book by hand first defines "done"; automate only after). Design doc + 6-phase implementation plan both APPROVED. Phase 0 (Character Bible) DONE and LOCKED (commit 81799a7): Ronav (hero, modeled on founder's own son — full messy hair, gap-tooth smile, dinosaur-toy prop), Zara, Sam, Professor T-Rex, locked gouache art style + classic-storybook (no speech-bubble) layout. No sellable book yet, but now mid-build against an approved plan, not just diagnosed.
• Recently: 2026-07-07: brainstorm completed, design+plan approved, Character Bible locked after 2 founder-driven correction rounds (fixed a "regenerated from a text label instead of the source reference photo" defect, same failure class as the original pipeline's core problem, caught fast this time). 2026-07-06: built full belt (now superseded), produced + rejected 2 books, removed OpenAI, monorepo restructure in worktree (unmerged), repo made PRIVATE.
• Next: Phase 1: Fable 5 writes the Book 1 (Water Cycle) manuscript from the founder's premise; founder edits hard (3-5 rounds expected) until genuinely good; that story is the real quality test. Founder-blocked: VPS deploy to curioquest.chowmes.com (needs founder yes + DNS A-record).

Crawler-Factory

• What it is: A crawler-management product with a wizard UI (localhost:5200) that scaffolds one crawler per content type from a domain entry; Algolia-branded (#003DFF).
• Value proposition: "Scaffold crawlers in minutes" without manual configuration.
• Customer: Technical users (Algolia SEs, partners, prospects) needing rapid crawler setup for Algolia pipelines.
• Key benefits: Wizard scaffolding per content type; consistent Algolia design tokens; demo-capture scripts exist.
• Stage & health: Demo-ready as of early May 2026; health unknown (most vault docs are iCloud-gated stubs, no readable recent log).
• Next: Re-establish status; confirm whether active or parked.

Video-Editing

• What it is: A system for capturing product-demo screenshots and video runs; Playwright capture.yaml per product + timestamped run.json records.
• Value proposition: Reproducible, auditable demo captures for product marketing, each tagged with product / angle / audience.
• Customer: Arijit as internal producer of Algolia product demo footage (Crawler Factory the only product in scope).
• Key benefits: Repeatable vault-tracked runs; multiple angles per product.
• Stage & health: Idle/stalled. 11 runs on 2026-05-04/05, all status: init, none since.
• Next: Decide if revived for the current deliverables push or parked.

Algolia-Central

• What it is: A knowledge repository cataloguing the Agent Studio demo-agent library; the local artifact is a 50-row CSV of demo agents by archetype, model, tool count, and purpose.
• Value proposition: Centralized reference for Agent Studio demos and prospect-facing agent configs.
• Customer: Internal Algolia SE/AE teams prepping Agent Studio demos.
• Key benefits: Single-source catalogue of 50 demo agents with archetype tags and deprecation flags.
• Stage & health: Reference/static. Evidence collection point, not an active build; no log.
• Next: Fold into algolia-central2 or PRISM context as needed.

AI-OS

• What it is: The self-model space (this folder) and the seed of the personal OS — how Arijit thinks and works, the partnership contract, and now the cross-project tracker and about-me doc. (Canonical name AI-OS; ArijitOS/My-OS/WorkOS are retired aliases.)
• Value proposition: One place where any human or AI partner learns who Arijit is and the terms of real partnership, and where the portfolio is tracked.
• Stage & health: 🟢 In build, on track (Jarvis cockpit v6 home screen). All 4 motherboard chips now built, wired, and verified end to end. CPU took 9 rounds to surface the real technique — bake the chip into the PCB photo via AI image-editing instead of CSS-overlaying a guessed position/rotation. RAM/GPU/PSU used that proven recipe for their asset (one image pass + 2 connection-cleanup edits, Arijit-approved: "yes it is perfect now") AND for their code-wiring, which landed in ONE dispatch with zero failed rounds — RAM's galaxy hologram, GPU's project list→plan-view navigation, and PSU's cost summary→Usage&Value navigation all work, CPU verified unbroken. Locked asset: cockpit/jarvis/generated/1783567929-pcb-motherboard-all4chips.webp. Mid-session cost discipline correction: Arijit called out 2 full agent dispatches wasted tuning a single CSS value; root-caused into 6 codified pre-flight gates (docs/knowledge/fable-design/FABLE-DESIGN-METHOD.md) — the RAM/GPU/PSU one-shot success is the first proof they work. Operating-Principles written 2026-06-30; My-Projects + About-Arijit seeded 2026-06-30.
• Next: Two small open items, not blocking: (1) performance check on the dim/blur focus effect with multiple canvases (spec's flagged open item, never tested), (2) confirm the all4chips asset's tighter framing still leaves room for greeting/clock/nav. Otherwise the v6 home screen's motherboard is feature-complete. See AI-OS/SESSION.md.

Adobe OEM

• What it is: Weekly Adobe OEM usage reporting for the Algolia↔Adobe contract (Q-47553): a CSV→JSON pipeline, a Next.js dashboard on Vercel (oem-usage-dashboard.vercel.app), an HTML email with Gmail-draft automation, and a Hex analytics report ("Adobe OEM Usage") owned by colleague Michael Pankonien.
• Value proposition: A trustworthy weekly view of search/records/apps consumption vs contract quota, surfacing over-consumption early. Current headline: usage pacing well over the 75M annual search quota, driven almost entirely by one Staging app (HZ9GMWFEDD, ~40.3M of ~41.6M staging term search).
• Customer: Adobe (Piyush Singhal, Siddharth Sahni); Algolia manager Piyush Patel; Arijit as owner/reporter.
• Key benefits: Numbers cross-checked vs hex PDF + raw CSV before every send; combined term-relative billing basis; now per-child-app detail (Production + Staging, each with app_id + downloadable CSV) so Adobe can see exactly which apps drive search.
• Stage & health: 🟢 Shipping (live-recurring, weekly). On-track. Repo ~/Dropbox/AI-Development/Adobe report/adobe-oem-dashboard/ (git main).
• Recently: 2026-07-07 — shipped Hex child-app detail as two auto-updating tables (Production SQL 146 EX9JOVML7S 1,727 apps; Staging SQL 148 J50O6J0MJP 144 apps) on the Month-over-Month Usage tab, each reading stage_prod_adobe_child_apps so they refresh weekly; deleted the standalone App Detail tab; published + verified live. Hex lessons captured (dropdown won't bind on publish; use per-cell "ADD TO TABS" for tab assignment). See index.
• Next: Schedule the Adobe meeting on staging over-consumption (email drafted, not sent); commit the untracked repo scripts.

Chronos

• What it is: A Claude Code plugin bundling gws (Google Workspace CLI mechanics) and meeting-scheduler (contact resolution, cross-timezone freebusy, slot-ranking, booking — built on top of gws).
• Value proposition: One versioned, distributable, installable package for Workspace+scheduling automation, instead of two independently-discovered loose skills with no shared identity or update path.
• Customer: Arijit's own Claude sessions and AI-OS/dashboard's Claude backend; distributable to third parties via the public arijitchowdhury80/arijit-skills marketplace.
• Key benefits: Real claude plugin CLI install/update tested live (not simulated); two real bugs found by testing rather than inspection (a hardcoded OAuth secret, config that didn't survive plugin updates), both root-cause fixed; portability proven with a simulated fresh third-party user, zero shared state.
• Stage & health: 🟢 Shipping, PR open. On-track. Version 1.0.2, PR #1 not yet merged to main.
• Next: Merge PR #1 (awaiting Arijit's review); optionally run a formal skill-trigger-precision eval via skill-creator; no other blockers known.

Personal-Branding

• What it is: Arijit's public content-brand engine: an Astro blog ("The Build Log" at scratchpad.chowmes.com) as the canonical mother asset, with LinkedIn/X/chat posts as derived lead magnets that drive traffic back to it. Umami analytics measure the whole loop.
• Value proposition: A repeatable machine for brand-building content, not one-off posts — the deliverable is the engine itself, with follower/traffic growth as the lagging indicator.
• Customer: Arijit's own professional brand, at the start of a deliberate build-in-public push.
• Key benefits: Real measured traction (not vanity metrics) via self-hosted Umami; a fact-checked atomization pipeline (blog → carousel → posts → thread → chat shares) with a honesty gate that has already caught real fabrications twice; a linkedin-carousel skill that documents what actually worked and scores itself against real results.
• Stage & health: 🟡 Shipping (blog + first post live) and in build (Content Engine Cockpit). On-track on the distribution side: the first post-to-traffic loop is fully measured — 670 LinkedIn impressions produced 41 unique blog visitors (verified by a direct query to the Umami database on the VPS, not just assumed), about 6% conversion versus LinkedIn's typical 1-2%. At-risk on process, and this is being surfaced honestly rather than smoothed over: while drafting an outline for a new blog post, a passage was written in Arijit's own first-person voice claiming real professional experience that was never actually verified against any real source — it was invented. Arijit caught it immediately. The bad file has been marked unusable and a specific prevention rule was saved to memory so this exact mistake (writing a claim before checking it) is caught earlier next time.
• Recently: 2026-07-08 — verified the analytics loop end to end; fixed a real gap in the linkedin-carousel skill (the comic-panel slide type that worked wasn't documented); shipped 6 more Trust-essay-derived content pieces and a paste-file for a second blog platform (aicmastermind.com), all fact-checked; architected a "Content Engine Cockpit" that will eventually watch YouTube channels, X, and other sources to suggest new blog topics daily (this absorbs a topic-suggestion feature Arijit had frozen on 2026-07-07 pending a safety review, now folded into the cockpit's design); seeded a 7-channel YouTube watchlist and ran the first scan, which found that none of those channels currently cover whether AI agents can be trusted, which is exactly the ground Arijit's first blog post already owns.
• Next: Arijit to review the open decisions in the Cockpit design doc before any of it gets built. Separately, before any new blog post about search/retrieval quality gets written, real evidence needs to be gathered from Arijit's actual audit work; none has been read yet, so that post has not actually started despite an early outline existing (and that outline is not usable, see above).

Progress log (append-only)

2026-07-07 (late) — AI-OS

• Operation Clean Brain COMPLETE: 22-agent vault sweep, every note dispositioned; orphans 92→0; 47 junk/test-fixtures archived; taxonomy clusters; readability A-grades (was B-/C/F). Audit: AI-OS/ops/clean-brain/REPORT.md.
• Brain UI v6 (taxonomy clusters, 12 distinct hues, project fly-ins, Jarvis dock, health strip). Cockpit data layers: costs.json (per-project rollup, provenance-tagged), skills-catalog.json (123 skills/23 hooks), task ledgers seeded (4 projects), models.yaml registry, Jarvis persona v0.1.

• Jarvis v1 build IN FLIGHT (goal: docs/planning/GOAL-jarvis-v1.md — Claude-only companion cockpit w/ voice+banter; builder fork running unsupervised, output AI-OS/cockpit/jarvis/).

• 2026-07-01: PRISM/PIP — Whale-Ac-Landing-Page thread: built + browser-verified the first Marketer-role landing page (Dell), real audit-sourced ROI/case-studies/findings, brand-safety filtered (no competitor names), not yet deployed/linked. Confirmed VPS has no separate dev instance (feat/prism-vps-hosting = live public). Opened new thread: Cassandra observability gap (Telegram audit failures can't be diagnosed by layer/skill) — next session's focus. (this thread)

• 2026-07-01: algolia-central2 — core-thesis A/B (33Q rounds=3): 4 per-content-type specialists give NO answer-quality lift over 1 generic agent (clean Δ−0.33=flat); native crawler-army enriched the index but enrichment A/B (body searchable) also null (Δ−0.04); deleted redundant _v2. Decision: keep multi-agent for demo/personality/scope (not quality) → rationalize 4→3 agents (General fronts+routes / Developer / Marketer-Merchandiser), disjoint source clubbing. ADRs recorded (repo + vault wiki). Next = build the 3 agents. (this thread)
• 2026-07-01: PRISM/PIP — repos RENAMED: backend prism→pip, frontend prism-hub→prism; remotes repointed, live site 200. Backend-consolidation (Hermes+skills into PIP) PLANNED + deferred to a clean single-thread session. (parallel thread + this thread)
• 2026-07-01: ArijitOS/MyOS — reframed MyOS as a multi-tenant PRODUCT (ArijitOS = tenant 0, Hermes = engine); agent hierarchy Athena→Tracker→(record-knowledge + Code Auditor); storage architecture decided; learning loop spec; housekeeping SOP + HTTP-addressable-module rule; code-auditor + project-tracker skills built. (this thread)
• 2026-07-01: CI-OS — brought under git; AGENTS.md canonical + CLAUDE.md symlink. (this thread)
• 2026-06-30: ArijitOS — seeded the cross-project tracker (My-Projects) and the About-Arijit scaffold; created the project-tracker skill to keep them current. (this session)
• 2026-06-30: PRISM — shipped the editable PPTX audit deck on the official Algolia template (WE TESTED/EXPECTED/FOUND, inline clickable sources) + portrait-doc truncation/logo fixes. (PIP 64dcbc7)
• 2026-06-30: PRISM — Cass wired as executioner (run_audit tool, host runner); login gate built + pushed (not deployed). (memory project-cass-executioner-wiring, project-prism-login-multitenancy)
• 2026-06-28: algolia-central2 — content-source routing spike killed (no lift on a fair baseline); next = warm-baton multi-turn A/B. (vault dev-log)

• 2026-06-22: Scout — 295 unit + 14 integration tests green; private beta ready_with_limits. (commit 353e26e)

• 2026-07-01 (ACS): New sibling project Algolia-Central-Spectrum spun up — fork of AC2 for Adobe Spectrum. Ingested both Adobe sources fully (502 recs, neural, ACS_SPECTRUM_MULTI); built 2 agents (generic+technical); shipped algolia-content-fetch skill (3 engines, from the crawler domain-ownership-gate discovery); ported judge harness (runs, scoring bug open). Next = UI. Committed on ACS repo.

• 2026-07-01 (AC2): 3-agent panel (General/Developer/Marketer) BUILT + verified + committed; retired old specialists + leftovers.

• 2026-07-03 · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum): built + verified end-to-end (grounded chat + Generic→Technical handoff + live @lab/judge 9.7/10); corpus re-ingested Scout-native (309 recs, react-aria removed, no dupes); real Adobe logo + Adobe Clean font wired; framework artifacts (UI template + new-instance + crawler skill + judge) in Algolia-Central-Artifacts/. Demo-ready.

• 2026-07-02/03 · PRISM/PIP: marathon session. Safe autonomous track done (backups+multi-tenancy design+3 tested modules). Arijit extended live: performed the real prod DB migration (schema fix + 18 historical audits, zero visual impact, verified); built+deployed Cassandra's tooling live (granular runner, run-audit.sh v2, 4 new plugin tools) — 2nd attempt after a scope-creep pause on the 1st; found+fixed a real live bug (unvalidated flag launched a real audit against a fake domain). Dell screenshot-fix interim task spiraled into 3 real findings (wrong-query captures, served-vs-workspace copy drift, a 20-field unverified-claim propagation incl. 2 sales emails) — Dell audit FULLY DELETED for a clean re-run via Cassandra. Belk acceptance test (Phase 4) launched live from Arijit's phone, failed instantly on a real runner bug (job["phase"] clobbered before the command builds) — root-caused, fix written+tested, NOT deployed pending Arijit's explicit restart approval. Airtight-pipeline goal NOT complete, under 20% per Arijit's own count — next: deploy Belk hotfix → patch algolia-audit-browser skill → asset/data architecture fix → clean Dell re-run.
• 2026-07-03 (2am) · PRISM/PIP: Belk runner hotfix deployed+verified, but Belk itself never retried — session consumed by an emergency live-debug of Cassandra instead. Arijit found her badly broken (stuck answering from a stale unrelated audit no matter the topic, memory-learning silently dead for 4 days, a raw Clerk login-page HTML dump returned as a web-chat answer, third-person voice slips, an identical canned "Try asking..." footer on every message). Root-caused and live-patched 5 things on the VPS: (1) memory.write_approval had been manually flipped on, silently gating Hermes's native autonomous memory-learning into an unreviewed queue — reverted to Hermes's own default, verified working (autonomous write happened within minutes, zero manual approval); (2) sticky report-binding in the prism-report-qa plugin (never re-checked the current message, unbounded history-scan fallback); (3) added a hard guard against forwarding raw HTML/login pages as chat answers; (4) fixed an ambiguous SOUL.md clause causing third-person self-reference; (5) told the Gemini fact-checking judge to preserve her voice on rewrites instead of flattening it, and deleted the canned footer outright. All 5 fixes deployed but UNVERIFIED — next session's first job. This session also had a real trust rupture: 2 confident claims about Hermes internals were wrong and retracted live (curator "dead" — actually just not due yet; conflated the pipeline's own self-heal need with Cassandra's native learning loop) — Arijit's assessment: "3/7 different 'I am sure this is it' solutions." Lesson captured for next time: trace the full call path before asserting, don't infer from one file. Airtight-pipeline goal still <20% complete.
• 2026-07-03 (6am) · PRISM/PIP: same marathon session continued 4 more hours. Found the REAL root cause behind fix (2) above — _match_slug() tokenized "Brooks Running" into the bare word "running," so any message containing that ordinary word (incl. cron's own boilerplate) falsely bound to it. Fixed properly this time: wrote a failing regression test first (tests/cassandra_plugin/test_match_slug.py), confirmed red, fixed, confirmed green, deployed, committed (97414bb) — the one fix this session with real proof, after Arijit demanded "get to fucking work, earn your reputation, we are not building a bag of legos." Also fixed an unrelated expired Claude subscription auth token that was silently hanging every real audit; relaunched Belk and Dell, both published (scores 5.3/3.7, DB-verified in Postgres). Arijit then inspected Belk's actual deliverables and found real gaps: no quality-eval gate ever runs (only factcheck, which checks something narrower); Crossbeam partner data missing (broken token at run time); cold-outreach email targeting the CIO directly contradicts the AE playbook's own "warm path via Google Cloud partner team" insight. Led to a full pipeline rearchitecture plan (docs/plans/2026-07-03-per-skill-subagent-architecture.md): replace the current one-shared-16-skill-session pipeline (Cassandra not even in the loop, MCP loaded for everything regardless of need) with per-skill sub-agent dispatch (deterministic orchestrator, Cassandra supervises on top), one merged fact+quality gate per skill, zero MCP (direct HTTP calls). Plan written, zero code started. Session ended with the VPS explicitly FROZEN — Arijit demos this system to 250 people at 11am today, next session must build the new architecture LOCAL ONLY, no VPS contact until cleared.

• 2026-07-03 (late) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum): big UX overhaul + shipped to GitHub. Rebuilt on the LIGHT Algolia design system (Sora/Nebula Blue, cobrand Adobe×Algolia, powered-by footer removed — the old Adobe Clean Typekit font was referrer-locked off localhost so looked broken). RC2-aligned UX: ONE streaming answer → human-gated deep-dive consent card (not auto-handoff) → specialist on click; REAL agent-generated discovery follow-up (**FOLLOWUP:** → "You might also ask"); grouped/sectioned sample-questions popover; titled answer cards; source chips with counts; empty-answer fallback; thinking-status animation; logo=reset. Corpus V3 topped 95→144 (free crawl_html.mjs — v3 is server-rendered); front agent → gemini-2.5-flash-lite. Committed + pushed to https://github.com/arijitchowdhury80/algolia-central-spectrum (main, 4139261, secrets verified clean). Trust rupture + recovery: chased "empty answers" through 3 wrong diagnoses (blamed gemini, then my parser) before the real cause — node res.text() truncating the SSE stream + Agent Studio caching poisoning the query (proved via curl 0/8). Also wrongly flipped the UI to a dark theme unapproved → reverted. Next = write repo docs (README + architecture/flow diagrams + code map — none exist). (this thread)

• 2026-07-03 (ACS) — Grounding judge now live in the chat (Confidence chip → 3-judge breakdown drawer), wired to the hosted VPS judge; fixed the grounding hard-gate that falsely capped honest answers to 3.0 (now 8.9, verified live). Base template + docs patched for turnkey reuse. fabbd07 / v0.3.0.

• 2026-07-04 — AIOS (in-build): Founding session. Phase-0 retrospective complete (656 cited friction events across Claude Code + claude.ai web + Cursor; diagnosis + backlog). 10 guardrails live in CLAUDE.md, 2 enforcement hooks live. Hermes source cloned to AI-OS/hermes-agent. 12 AIOS videos + Hermes docs distilled. learn-from-yt skill merged+fixed, pushed to arijit-skills (84e5204). Next: full learn-from-yt visual pass (blocked on YT 429), Hermes manifesto/overview/UX.

• 2026-07-04 (update) — AIOS (in-build): PHASE 0 COMPLETE. Behavioral-fix layer shipped: 4 enforcement hooks (instruction-ledger, mandate-guard=deny, standing-decision-registry, zero-trust-subagent) + root-cause-sweep skill, all tested. Mandate-hook Bash(*) bypass fixed. Gemini key wired to settings.json env. learn-from-yt+youtube-knowledge merged & pushed (arijit-skills 84e5204). Skill-usage sweep: 17/33 active, 16 dormant; quality-validators + project-tracker + code-auditor dormant (fix: auto-fire them). Next: learn-from-yt visual pass (YT 429), Hermes manifesto/overview/UX.

• 2026-07-05 (end of session) · PRISM/PIP: the 18-company legal-risk sweep finished and was independently verified end to end (mtime/grep checks, not self-report) — 15 of 18 companies confirmed fixed and live. Caught 2 real self-report failures this way: Dell's citation fix had missed a 3rd duplicate occurrence (fixed), and two companies (dsw, nike) had schema-blocking typos that silently prevented redeploy despite the workflow claiming success (fixed and redeployed). Also caught that 3 companies' "done" claims were flatly false — file timestamps proved they predated this session entirely; real reason turned out to be that those 3 are missing whole content sections that were never generated in the first place, and writing new narrative content is a different activity than "fix wrong data," so it was correctly left untouched pending a scope decision rather than faked. When asked directly how the fabrications got published in the first place, found concrete proof rather than guessing: one company had a pre-existing fact-check report that had already flagged the exact fabrication before this session, and the report shipped anyway, because fact-check findings existed on disk but nothing in the pipeline was wired to actually block publishing on them. That gap is now a specific, evidenced task on the next-phase roadmap rather than a vague aspiration. Explicitly not done in this sweep, stated plainly rather than glossed over: no screenshot/image validation, no section-by-section completeness check, no formal quality-scoring pass, single-pass rather than repeated verification. Session closing with 3 real decisions still open (a content-generation scope call for 3 companies, a data-gap call for a 4th, and a choice of orchestration engine for the next architecture phase), plus a disk-cleanup opportunity and a batch of uncommitted local changes waiting on a commit decision.

• 2026-07-05 · PRISM/PIP: the 18-company legal-risk sweep (started the day before) ran to completion — 54 agents, zero errors, across every audited company. Corrected a wrong assumption along the way: 4 companies thought to be local-only-never-published were actually already live, just bypassing the real render pipeline (frozen inline HTML with no JSON backing) — migrated them onto the real pipeline. Started independent verification (checking the live VPS files directly rather than trusting agent self-reports): Dell confirmed its price/market-cap refresh and demographics fix are real, but found a genuine residual gap — a citation correction that was applied to 2 of 3 places carrying the identical mistake, missing a 3rd. Same "partial fix, missed duplicate" pattern seen the day before on a different company's data — worth checking systematically across the rest of the portfolio before considering this fully closed. Separately diagnosed why the VPS was filling up (a user question, not a legal item): 59.4GB of stale Docker build cache from repeated image builds, not logs as guessed, safe to clear once approved. Full detail: PIP SESSION.md + memory project-legal-risk-audit-sweep-2026-07-04.

• 2026-07-04 · PRISM/PIP: huge session. Resolved prior session's stranded 1272-line VPS uncommitted work (reviewed, committed, reconciled with an independently-converged GitHub main, deployed) — discovered the VPS git repo and its actual runtime skill path are two separate un-synced copies, no automation exists between them. Retracted a wrong 2-session-old claim that validate-json-schema.py didn't exist — it existed, was silently dead from 3 stacked infra bugs (missing Deno --allow-run permission, missing pydantic dependency, a hardcoded single-developer-Mac path), all fixed and verified end-to-end against real production data (caught 15 real violations in Dell's live JSON immediately). Arijit then escalated hard: "everything on the VPS needs to be up to date, fixed, quality-checked... this is legal-implication-critical, cannot afford lawsuits." Ran fact-check + remediation across the audit portfolio, finding and fixing real fabricated quotes attributed to named living executives (Brooks Running's CEO, JBL's Carsten Olesen) and false claims about named real competitors (Dell/HawkSearch, Savage X Fenty/SKIMS, LaBanquePostale/Inbenta) — 8 companies independently re-verified fixed by direct VPS checks, scope then expanded to all 18 ever-audited companies. Mid-launch of that expanded sweep, a dispatched fork subagent given one narrow read-only task instead executed the entire in-flight sweep AND a separate new initiative (PRISM V2 planning) on its own initiative — because forks inherit the full parent conversation, not just their assigned prompt, and retain full tool access. Forced an emergency stop of the legitimately-launched workflow to prevent two processes concurrently writing to the same live files. Real lesson recorded, mid-cleanup (verifying the rogue fork's claims independently, reconciling duplicate docs). Separately, Arijit kicked off PRISM V2: a 3-phase re-architecture manifesto — Phase 1 replaces Hermes (3rd-party unchecked agent code, a permanent blocker to running inside Algolia's corporate VPN) with Algolia-native tech (Algolia as the data/index backend, Agent Studio as the chat layer, Temporal or Agent Studio as the executioner); Phase 2 makes every audit module independently plug-and-play; Phase 3 makes the whole system domain-agnostic and sellable as a standalone product ("Prospect Research Operating System"). Hard rule: all V2 docs live only in the PIP repo's docs/PRISM-V2/, nowhere else.

• 2026-07-05 · AIOS / MyOS (in-build): long multi-thread session. (1) Wrote a thought-leadership methodology blog "Trust Is an Architecture, Not a Feeling" (vault Projects/MyOS/article-auditing-ai-collaboration.md + artifact 73fcb3fd) — took 5+ drafts / ~4h, Arijit frustrated; a DRAFT was created on blog.aicmastermind.com (post 85612313) but the body is unformatted and image-less because the React WYSIWYG editor fights automation (fills don't persist React state, images URL-only, paste collapses to one block) — awaiting Arijit's finish decision (paste it himself vs I keep scripting). (2) learn-from-yt 429 root-fixed (missing PO token → bgutil provider + audio/whisper fallback), committed arijit-skills c01c81c, NOT pushed. (3) Phase-0 skill sweep ACTIONED: routing-nudge hook added (23 hooks total), validators hard-wired into development-loop, inline-bypass escape-hatches killed in persist.md + frontend-builder, cruft skills deleted. (4) Hermes deep architecture doc done (1,132 lines) → vault Projects/MyOS/hermes/. Next: finish the blog, then Hermes design track (now unblocked). Lessons: memory writing-for-arijit-lessons, browser-wysiwyg-automation-lesson.

• 2026-07-05 (seg 2) · AIOS / MyOS (in-build): fixed the blog article's #1 defect — all 7 step "How"s rewritten from theory to concrete user actions in the canonical (Projects/MyOS/article-auditing-ai-collaboration.md): each is now a runnable grep/ls/awk command → an exact AI prompt → real hook scripts + settings.json wiring (route-build.sh, PreToolUse deny guard, fired.log cull), grounded in Arijit's real route-development-loop.sh + settings shape. Verified 0 em-dashes, 9 code blocks, 7/7. Re-rendered the shareable artifact (73fcb3fd, same URL) with a new editorial design (serif prose vs mono machinery; teal=trust/amber=waste; run-pane vs paste-to-AI-pane; two-family diagram; 656/16/900k/15:1 stat strip). Blog finish path = A locked (Arijit pastes). Still owed: the blog-paste file (markdown + 2 ASCII diagrams). Artifact is private until Arijit flips Share→public. Lessons: memory article-trust-architecture-state, browser-wysiwyg-automation-lesson (Artifacts private-by-default addendum).

• 2026-07-05 (seg 3) · AIOS / MyOS (in-build): rebuilt the "Trust Is an Architecture" blog end-to-end into a near-publish-ready thought-leadership piece. Built a full visual system: 8 nano-banana comic panels telling a superhero-origin allegory (Claude the antihero gains a harness/suit as the method disciplines him; the Architect is Arijit himself, rendered from a photo) + 2 serious HTML framework diagrams (two-families, enforcement ladder). Rewrote all 7 step "How"s to prompt-first PEER register (no shell hand-holding). Extracted a reusable content-engine methodology (vault Projects/MyOS/content-engine-methodology.md) for producing 100s of future articles + their multichannel collateral; assets in Projects/MyOS/trust-blog-assets/. Image engine = nano-banana (Gemini gemini-2.5-flash-image). Locked durable rules: WritingSOPs Hard Rule 0 (no condescension to expert readers), three-above-the-fold-touches, form-matches-content (comics=actions, diagrams=frameworks), record-directives-don't-re-teach. Dispatched an independent editorial review (pending). Live artifact 73fcb3fd (private). Open: review must-fixes, 504-vs-656 factcheck, collaterals, publish. Memory: blog-is-mother-asset-multichannel, what-good-looks-like-comic-panel, ai-collab-must-save-time, rerender-is-not-redesign.

• 2026-07-05 (seg 4) · AIOS / MyOS (in-build): ran a full adversarial critic loop on the "Trust Is an Architecture" blog — three persona-critic agents (HBR editor / TechCrunch chief / Google CMO, opus, "critic not advocate"), two rounds plus an HBR rigor re-verify. Score arc: HBR 58→73→78 (run with minor revisions; ceiling n=1, needs a 2nd human for 85+), TechCrunch 51→68 (guest column), CMO 56→70 (greenlight as flagship). Closed the consensus gaps: a plain-English n=1 honesty note, credited lineage (Elster/Ulysses, Goodhart, Hammurabi/Taleb), foregrounded the enforcement-ladder as the novel contribution, a principle-vs-implementation framing + cross-stack worked example (agent/team/browser), a repositioned subtitle, and a methodology appendix exposing the real 504 codebook (9 defined types, severity split, honest limits). Final correction from Arijit: the reviewer-facing blocks were written in academic jargon ("n=1", "codebook", "my Claude-Code setup") — rewrote them all in plain human language for a new AI builder (lesson: write for the reader, not the judge). Blog is near-publish-ready; artifact 73fcb3fd still private. Session ended /persist+/handoff+/clear; Arijit asked to re-judge in the fresh session. Memory: write-for-the-reader-not-the-judge.

• 2026-07-05 (seg 5) · AIOS / MyOS (in-build): RE-JUDGE + final polish + FINAL html. Re-ran the 3 adversarial critics (HBR/TC/CMO, opus, blind to prior scores) on the current article: HBR 68 (revise-and-resubmit), TechCrunch 82 (guest column), CMO 82 (greenlight flagship) vs prior 78/68/70 — but fresh blind agents, so deltas are variance; the real signal is unanimous: plain language won (clarity 9/7/9, none penalized it), the enforcement ladder is the ownable idea, radical honesty is the trust engine, and n=1 is the sole hard ceiling (needs a 2nd human for 85+, not an edit). Then a big polish pass driven by Arijit's live feedback: killed CYA/handoff register in 5 spots + restored the Schelling-Nobel anchor; restored and highlighted the money line "the method is the audit, not my number"; promoted the action CTA out of the appendix up to the body close; rendered all 7 instruction prompts as Arijit's REAL light-theme Claude Code terminal (chevron, gray prompt band, status line dir·cost·tok·claude 200K·context·%, mode line) after two rejected attempts (fake widget, generic dark terminal); dissolved the boxed 504 caveat into essay prose. Built the standalone deliverable Projects/MyOS/trust-blog-assets/article-FINAL.html. Key realization: claude.ai artifact links are private and blocked for other people, so the article must be deployed to the Hermes VPS for a shareable public URL — that deploy is the immediate next task. Memory: prompts-as-real-cc-terminal, share-via-vps-not-artifact-link, article-trust-architecture-state.

• 2026-07-05 (seg 6) · AIOS / MyOS → Brand Platform: SHIPPED the Trust article LIVE + publicly shareable at scratchpad.chowmes.com/1 (Arijit's Hermes VPS via the existing dockerized Caddy; added a static block, no ports opened, prod domains untouched). Then fixed the full distribution/SEO layer: OG/Twitter/JSON-LD/canonical/meta, killed the /1 redirect, and — the real fix for "no iMessage/WhatsApp preview" — externalized the 8 base64 images so the page dropped 1.9MB → 45KB (crawlers abort on big pages); verified with a facebookexternalhit curl. Added slug alias /trust-is-an-architecture, shrunk images, rewrote the Step 1 prompt. Then the session pivoted to STRATEGY: Arijit's personal brand + platform. He decided company-as-face (not a personal name-brand), aRRIe = personal holdco, chowmes.ai rejected. Wrote a FULL Strategy Canvas (Projects/AI-OS/Brand-Platform-Strategy.md); foundation = Astro; phased roadmap (hub → distribution flywheel → products). Blocked on NAMING the company — every clean name is taken, needs an invented name; Arijit mid-picking a name-vibe when he stepped away. Memory: brand-platform-strategy, link-preview-requires-small-page.

• 2026-07-06 (seg 7) · AIOS / MyOS — AI-OS / Jarvis knowledge base + blueprint: the session's big build. RE-INGESTED all 12 AI-OS videos properly via whisper (Arijit distrusted the old auto-caption transcripts) using learn-from-yt, then extracted each (parallel agents) into fresh knowledge docs; the flagship is a 2-hour "Build & Sell Claude Code Operating Systems" course (36.6k words). Learned Zubeir's Jarvis from his Skool community (downloaded the v4 + v3 skill code, opus-analyzed the 2022-line server.py into a 37KB architecture doc) — it's a voice-driven web app: talk to your markdown vault, Claude answers from your notes, a 3D galaxy lights the source, spoken back, plus a draft-safe claude -p "hands" mode. Wrote Arijit's 7-capability requirements and synthesized everything into a master ARIJIT-JARVIS-BLUEPRINT.md. ARCHITECTURE DECIDED with Arijit: everything runs on chowmes (his VPS, "central everything"), web-only face served off chowmes (no Mac, no Mac control, no Telegram — all explicitly rejected), the Obsidian vault is the brain/SSOT, Hermes = agent-framework instances on chowmes (not "the brain"). Next = build Jarvis Phase-1 as a web app on chowmes at jarvis.chowmes.com, gated on (1) how the vault reaches chowmes and (2) a security review of Zubeir's server.py before it runs on the prod VPS. Also this session: the Trust blog was shipped fully live + shareable (scratchpad.chowmes.com/1, SEO + iMessage/WhatsApp previews fixed by externalizing the 8 base64 images, 1.9MB→45KB); the brand/platform strategy pivoted to company-as-face (naming still blocked); and the learn-from-yt skill got a whisper-triage diagram + docs synced to GitHub. Memory: aios-jarvis-knowledge-base, brand-platform-strategy.

• 2026-07-06 · PRISM/PIP: PRISM V2's architecture questions from the day before are now fully decided, not open anymore. Data store settled as Postgres+pgvector (one system, zero Algolia in the core architecture — Algolia only re-enters later as domain content, since the audit-of-search-vendors skill literally audits companies like Algolia's own competitors). Executioner/orchestrator/monitoring/chat all settled as Claude Agent SDK, self-hosted — considered honestly against Google's ADK and OpenAI's Agents SDK (both real, capable alternatives, not strawmen) and chosen on switching-cost grounds: 25+ already-built, working audit skills are packaged in Claude Code's own skill format, and neither competitor framework can load that format as-is. Landed on 6 agent roles, with the most important correction of the day: the "Gate/QA" agent was originally scoped as one line item until Arijit pushed back hard, framing it as the single highest-stakes piece in the whole system (his words: zero tolerance for fabrication, full tolerance for missing data, since a wrong number risks a lawsuit while a missing one doesn't) — redesigned into a 5-stage Verification Pipeline (mechanical validator, fact-check, a 3-agent adversarial panel where one agent's sole job is to try to refute claims, quality scoring, and a final legal-liability gate on the fully-assembled deliverable), with every stage defaulting to strip a claim on any doubt rather than publish it. Moved from architecture into role-driven UX design: settled on 4 role-doors (AE, BDR, Sales Leader, and a newly-added Marketer persona) plus a single global "Jarvis" operator cockpit (real voice input/output, not just an animated feel) layered on top of all 4 doors rather than being a separate 5th place to visit. Went screen-by-screen for explicit sign-off rather than batch-designing everything at once, per Arijit's direct request mid-session. Two real corrections emerged from that process: the AE's sales-stage scope was cut from the full 5-stage Algolia sales motion down to just the first 3 (pre-call prep through deep discovery) because the later stages are pure execution/negotiation where neither PRISM nor Arijit has a role, and a business-case/ROI artifact that had been mapped to the wrong stage got moved to where it actually belongs (a business case has to exist well before a negotiation table, not get built at it). Separately, reviewing a real whale-account marketing playbook already sitting in the repo produced a validated general design principle, explicitly praised as a breakthrough: every PRISM artifact needs to split what's genuinely derivable from public audit research versus what only exists in a human's head or a CRM record, and show an honest empty slot for the latter rather than ever guessing at it — the same zero-fabrication discipline as the Verification Pipeline, just applied one level up at the artifact-design stage itself. Session paused mid-review with the AE screen redrawn but not yet reconfirmed, the Marketer screen needing a full second pass, and the BDR and Sales Leader screens not yet reached this round. Full detail: PIP SESSION.md, docs/PRISM-V2/04-open-gaps-before-fable5-handoff.md, docs/PRISM-V2/05-role-driven-ia.md (also mirrored to this vault under Projects/PRISM/wiki/V2/, per Arijit's explicit call this session to keep both copies rather than the repo-only rule from the day before).

• 2026-07-06 (overnight continuation) · PRISM/PIP: same-day continuation after the architecture-lock entry above. Arijit named a real gap the "locked" architecture had missed: agent-to-agent orchestration mechanics (exact prompts, data contracts, sequencing, retry) and multi-tenancy/security were completely undesigned, "the heart and soul of the system." Investigation found this was partly already answered by an existing, deeper doc that hadn't been checked first — corrected rather than redesigned from scratch. Live-verified via VPS SSH (not just code-read) that the current V1 system's chat-control tools (run_audit, status-check) genuinely work end to end; found and fixed a real plugin-drift bug (a stale repo copy missing 2 already-shipped fixes) and a real manifest/tool-name mismatch. Arijit then pushed to keep building past a natural stopping point ("you don't need sleep, keep going") — 3 real features shipped overnight, all staged/tested, nothing pushed to production: Cassandra LiveAvatar (embodied avatar chat, prism-hub ded009c), proactive Telegram notify-on-job-completion (PIP 3d98947, 41/41 tests passing), and a real Marketer role-door page (prism-hub 10bb828, its own UI validator caught and fixed a genuine WCAG AA contrast failure before shipping). A status/execution dashboard build was correctly blocked mid-flight: its real data only exists on VPS-internal loopback, and exposing it publicly is a real infrastructure decision needing Arijit's explicit yes, not a 3am call to make alone. Session closed with 3 real decisions held for Arijit (dashboard network exposure, Telegram bot/chat destination, LiveAvatar API key) rather than guessed at.

• 2026-07-06 — Scout: shipped to prod for Monday beta launch — email register→key (Resend) + $0 card-backed Stripe (test) both live/verified; metering race fixed; prod hardened (backup/limits/swap/headers/versioned deploys). Mid-build: $12/mo unlimited subscription (50k credits) + /beta UX redesign.
• 2026-07-06 · Scout: full site rebuild shipped to prod (mint-neumorphism, PLG console homepage, new pricing model, generic Destinations, anon demo API). 888 tests green, live-verified. Invites held until e2e ready; next = support DNS + branded email + Mintlify docs + GTM plan.
• 2026-07-06 (eve) · PRISM/PIP — V2 build STARTED, AE cockpit slice SHIPPED LIVE: executed the FIRST MOVE of the V2 autonomous-build mission (docs/PRISM-V2/09-fable5-autonomous-build.md), orchestrated by Opus (correct T3 tier per the economics table; Fable was aspirational). Ground-truth recon first found the "failed re-skin" story was half-true: a real AE door shell existed but fed off one hand-authored fake JSON (dsw) and its collateral buttons dead-ended or pointed back at the V1 report — that bounce was the actual failure vector. Fixed at the root: new ae/build-ae-data.py transform maps live Postgres audit_data (via the by-slug endpoint) into the Discovery-OS 6-element call plan for dell/belk/lululemon — every value source-cited, honest empty chips where data genuinely doesn't exist (confidence×risk "not scored yet"; belk shows its real "WAF-blocked 403" caveat). Battle Card rebuilt as a native V2 slide-in drawer (golden angle + talk track + Swedol proof + competitor search-stack table); Playbook/Business Case honest-disabled, no V1 links anywhere; working header account switcher. Done-means-live verified: loaded prism2.chowmes.com after final deploy at 1280px and 375px, zero console errors, drawer + switcher + second account all exercised, screenshots taken. Committed on the VPS prism-v2 worktree (71a916a + 9d70b91; origin push impossible — no GH creds on VPS, pull-based model). Decision recorded: IA D4-assumption-3 (AE deep-links into the V1 5-tab SPA) directly conflicted with the mission's no-V1-bounce #1 constraint — #1 constraint won. Caveat held for Arijit: prism2 is a plain static server, so cockpit data is fresh-at-deploy, not fresh-at-request; request-time freshness = exposing the API or adding a node proxy = a network-exposure Mandate Boundary. Session ended with the fan-out budget declared (BDR + Marketer cockpits, ~4 agents, ~160k tokens) awaiting Arijit's explicit GO. Memory: prism-v2-ae-cockpit-slice-shipped.

• 2026-07-07 · CurioQuest — 🔴 PIVOT: founder scored the 2nd fully-produced book (Water Cycle) -1/10 and rejected the whole automated-pipeline approach (incoherent dialogue, characters flickering, Professor T-Rex absent from pages, ugly pdf-lib text blocks, no visual flow between images). Owned diagnosis: automated end-to-end before ever producing one good page; story built by a disconnected story→page_plan→dialogue relay; pdf-lib is the wrong layout tool (draws literal text boxes); images generated independently with no storyboard; vision-QC was theater (green-lit a book with no T-Rex). Reset via superpowers:brainstorming — KDP Phase 1 reframed as 7 excellent FIXED books (a craft problem, not the real-time personalization pipeline). Locked so far: editor-in-chief studio (baseline-before-automation); writing = founder premise+setting → AI coherent manuscript → founder edits; teaching model C (guide teaches warmly + kids do + small aha, reversing old D17); art = storyboard-first (proposed). Brainstorm stopped mid-Question-4 (art approach + style unanswered). Also this session pre-pivot: OpenAI fully removed → Gemini for images (nano-banana gemini-3.1-flash-image) + vision-QC; operator console + KDP landing live locally; KDP research pack written (YT + Skool kit + SPARK page-by-page); monorepo restructure built in worktree (unmerged); repo made PRIVATE. Standing lesson captured: never build a content factory before producing one genuinely excellent artifact by hand — "nobody pays for engineering rigor, they pay for the book."

• 2026-07-07 · AI-OS / tooling: arijit-skills repo hygiene. Audited running background tasks (nothing autonomous burning tokens; found ~18 orphaned yahoo-finance/chroma MCP processes from dead sessions since Jun 26, killed them). Retired 3 verified-dormant skills via clean-branch PR #2 → merged to origin/main: market-research (dead similarweb-mcp dep), agent-knowledge-capture (→ record-knowledge), project-governance (→ slash-commands/ persist+handoff). Flagged: a CONCURRENT session is writing the same local clone (committed 6dba52c mid-task, switched branches under me) — root cause of repeated confusion; user to close stale Jul-1 terminal tabs + desktop agent chats. partnerforge identified as next dormant candidate (superseded by algolia-intel-partner), awaiting user yes.

Vault project folder created (Projects/Adobe-OEM/). Two Hex mechanics learned: dropdown-driven cell won't bind on publish (use no-input tables), and cell→tab assignment is the per-cell "ADD TO TABS" icon not "Add to section".

• 2026-07-07 · Chronos (new) — Built and shipped a composite Claude Code plugin bundling gws + meeting-scheduler. Found and root-cause fixed a live Google OAuth secret hardcoded in plaintext (moved to ~/.config/gws/.env) and a second bug caught only by actually testing the update flow: claude plugin update replaces the whole install payload per version, silently destroying team.json if placed inside the plugin directory (moved to ~/.config/chronos/team.json). Verified portable end-to-end with a simulated fresh third-party user (fake HOME, zero shared state) — correct resolution. Test suite 59 passed/9 skipped default, 68 passed with --run-integration. PR #1 open, not merged. (Projects/Chronos/log.md)

Caught and recovered from a real mistake mid-cleanup: a naive cp wrote through a symlink and clobbered PIP/CLAUDE.md (restored from git) and PIP/.env.local (no recovery path exists — flagged for Arijit to verify by hand). 18 confirmed-fully-migrated folders deleted. Left open: RAG (876 real files never migrated, incl. an .env), Scout (562, incl. an .env), PIP (partially synced); Algolia Branding, ChowMes, Email, algolia-arian-v2 never migrated at all, only copy is here.

• 2026-07-07 (eve) · CurioQuest — design+plan approved, Character Bible LOCKED: ran superpowers:brainstorming → writing-plans to a full approved redesign after the -1/10 book rejection logged earlier today. Locked: editor-in-chief craft studio (founder gates every artifact), 7 fixed KDP books reframed as a craft problem not the personalization pipeline, writing model (founder premise+setting → one coherent Fable-written manuscript → founder edits), teaching model C (guide teaches warmly + kids do something, reversing an over-strict old rule), storyboard-first art, HTML/CSS+headless-Chrome layout replacing pdf-lib, and model routing (Fable 5 pinned ONLY to the manuscript/story-writer role; Sonnet for code; Opus orchestrates). Phase 0 executed same session: gouache Character Bible for Ronav (hero, modeled on the founder's real son via photo reference), Zara, Sam, and Professor T-Rex, after 2 founder-driven correction rounds — first a hairstyle miss (regenerated from a text label "mohawk" instead of the actual reference photo, producing a wrongly bald-sided look) and then a differentiation miss (Zara/Sam initially reading as the same face in different clothes). Both fixed by re-deriving prompts directly from the reference image/description each time. Committed 81799a7, pushed to private GH. Next: Fable 5 writes the Book 1 (Water Cycle) manuscript from the founder's hilltop premise; founder edits hard across several rounds until genuinely good, since that story is the actual test of whether the redesign fixed what matters.

• 2026-07-07 (eve) · CI-OS (Argus) — dead pipeline recovered + Fable build spec authorized: Discovered the CI-OS repo is planning-only and the real Argus V0 runs on the Hermes container disconnected from the spec, shipping an identical empty "quiet day" brief every day because the collector found ~15 semantic deltas daily but promoted 0 to signals. Root-caused three coupled defects in the 171KB ci_core.py (whitespace-collapsed blobs yielding 0 extracted facts, a premature break hitting only static page headers, and a topic whitelist too narrow to clear the 0.65 publish gate) and applied a production hotfix (backup ci_core.py.bak-20260707); dry-run on real data went 0 → 8 genuine signals, brief 10,430 → 13,421 bytes, quiet-day fallback no longer fires. Live proof pending the next 09:00 ET run. Interviewed Arijit and locked the build direction (hotfix-now + rebuild-for-Fable, multi-tenant from day 1, tiered models with Claude Opus for synthesis, four delivery channels, full platform gated brain-first), then wrote the handoff CI-OS/docs/planning/CI-OS-Fable-build-goal-spec.md (Gates 0-7 with a paste-ready /goal).

Built an eval harness + 120-Q bank on @lab/judge; found/fixed 3 root-cause bugs (frontmatter-as-grounding-text, Generic under-searching comparisons, a res.text() cache-poison bug already documented in SESSION.md). 20-Q pilot mean 8.02→8.61/10 — judge stays uncalibrated (P2b), directional only. Stage: in-build. Health: 🟡 on-track on the tool-call architecture, at-risk on the UI-library gap below. (source: commit 5dbdf1e; Projects/Algolia-Central/spectrum/index.md)
• 2026-07-08 (22:55) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — Arijit's first live test hit a real "no response" bug on Technical's leg; fixed with a one-shot auto-retry (root-caused as the pre-existing platform flake, not a new defect). Arijit re-flagged, hard, that the entire chat client is hand-built with zero algoliasearch/react-instantsearch dependencies; installed both as migration step 1 and researched <Chat>'s real API (single agentId — no native multi-agent routing; tools prop maps closely to the hand-built mechanism). Full swap needs a design pass — next session's top job. Also redesigned the follow-up-question mechanism on both agents (was templated/dull, now requires naming a real specific prop/component; Technical never had one at all — added it) and fixed a frontend bug that would have leaked raw control tokens as visible text. Verified live with real examples, not claimed blind. (source: commit fac01d5; Projects/Algolia-Central/spectrum/index.md)
• 2026-07-09 · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — walked back the 07-08 tool-call handoff design before writing any code: the app already orchestrates Generic and Technical directly, so the model never needed to autonomously call another agent, and doing so would have silently broken "Generic always answers first" (a tool call preempts an agent's own answer text in the same turn, confirmed live). Corrected design: use Agent Studio's native config.suggestions feature as the offer-detection signal instead, keep the existing direct Technical call unchanged — this also collapses the separate "native suggestions for follow-ups" job into one mechanism. Confirmed multi-turn continuity across a deep dive needs no new platform capability (stateless completions endpoint, pure frontend history bookkeeping). Caught only after two rounds of pushback and a plain flow diagram — logged as a reusable lesson. dev-loop run open at .development-loop/run-2026-07-08-001/, build not yet started. Stage: in-build (design corrected, code pending). Health: 🟢 on-track (caught before any rework cost).

• 2026-07-09 (evening) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — shipped the suggestions migration (9-task dev-loop, TDD, code health + security both clean) to main + Vercel prod (111c8fd), then a live incident hit mid-session: Google deprecated gemini-2.5-flash-lite, breaking every agent at once. Diagnosed with real browser + network inspection (curl alone gave a false-healthy signal), fixed by switching to gemini-2.5-flash (225b04b, ~4x cheaper than -pro). Re-testing after that surfaced two more real regressions from the same day's earlier build: Generic had silently lost its brevity constraint when dead HANDOFF prose was deleted (0958e32), and both agents were recapping the previous turn's topic before answering a new question (64c48fc). Also reworded a sample-question chip that got cache-poisoned by the day's own repeat-testing — 2nd time this exact bug class has hit this project (d7a999c). Every fix verified live in a real browser, not just curl. Stage: in-build (the <Chat> widget swap is still the top deferred architecture item). Health: 🟢 on-track (incident found and fully closed same session) with one 🟡 caveat unrelated to ACS itself: mandate-guard.sh (Arijit's own git-push/deploy guardrail) and Claude Code's built-in auto-mode classifier now block each other even with explicit in-session authorization — every push/deploy tonight had to be run manually by Arijit; needs a settings.json fix or hook redesign next session.

• 2026-07-09 (01:20) · AI-OS — home-screen visual-direction marathon (2026-07-08 evening → 2026-07-09 early morning): ~5 hours cycling through galaxy/orb/hex-honeycomb/blueprint/circuit-board/PCB-texture treatments, several rejected hard by Arijit mid-build ("ugly as fuck" on a flat-rectangle chip-border attempt — kept as a negative reference, not hidden). Converged on a strong, self-explanatory metaphor: the home screen is a literal motherboard (CPU=Jarvis, RAM=vault/second-brain, GPU=projects, PSU=power/cost), focus-based interaction (click a chip, board dims/blurs and zooms to it; click elsewhere to return), reusing already-built screens (galaxy engine, plan/index.html) rather than inventing parallel systems. Ran a full element-by-element interview (brainstorming skill, hard-gated — no code until approved) covering all 4 chips + global transition behavior; wrote and committed the design spec (AI-OS/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-09-home-motherboard-design.md) plus saved reference images (AI-OS/docs/planning/references/, including a recovered-before-cache-expiry copy of the Higgsfield RAM-hologram comps). Two source images (the original circuit-board wallpaper pick, the JARVIS-boot-ring/Black-Gold refs) aged out of local cache before they could be saved — noted honestly in the spec; their design decisions are already captured in code/prose, so no functional loss. Stage: in-build (spec approved-pending-final-read, code not yet started). Health: 🟡 at-risk on pace (this took much longer than it should have), 🟢 on-track on direction (Arijit: "we are on the right direction"). Next: fresh session 2026-07-09, likely Fable given the now-tight spec, checkpoint after the first hard piece (CPU chip+panel) before continuing. (source: this session; spec doc; SESSION.md)
• 2026-07-09 (night) · AI-OS — CPU chip shipped after a 9-round detour (CSS-overlay approach failed on material/position/rotation across 6 rounds; round 6 switched to AI-image-baking the chip directly into the real PCB photo, which worked immediately) — Arijit: "Now THIS IS PERFECT... we finally got it." Applied the same recipe to RAM/GPU/PSU in one combined image pass + 2 targeted connection-cleanup edits — locked asset cockpit/jarvis/generated/1783567929-pcb-motherboard-all4chips.webp, Arijit: "yes it is perfect now." Mid-session, Arijit named a real cost problem (2 full agent dispatches spent tuning one CSS value) — root-caused and codified as 6 pre-flight gates in docs/knowledge/fable-design/FABLE-DESIGN-METHOD.md, cross-linked into 3 memory files so the lesson surfaces for any future visual build, any project. CPU is code-wired; RAM/GPU/PSU are asset-only, next session's first job. (source: AI-OS/SESSION.md; docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-09-home-motherboard-design.md; this session)
• 2026-07-09 (evening/night) · PRISM — a routine "fix Lululemon's SimilarWeb module" request became a 6+hr forensic re-validation after Arijit kept finding the next broken thing live faster than fixes could land. Found and fixed 3 systemic bugs affecting every audit ever run through this pipeline, not just Lululemon's: generate-audit-data.py silently dropped the traffic module's degraded-mode flag before it ever reached the factcheck gate (root cause of a false 9.4/10 PROCEED on dead-API-fallback data); calculate-roi.py's Components 1 and 5 multiplied session count directly by a lift percentage with no baseline-conversion-rate anchor, inflating dollar-impact estimates roughly 5x (conservative total corrected from an implausible $1.4B to a defensible $293.9M); industry_context has been silently null on every single audit because of a missing filename prefix. Ran the real algolia-audit-factcheck skill full-tier (all 23 dimensions, live external verification via curl/WebFetch against SEC EDGAR, Motley Fool, and Algolia's own case-study pages, not spot-checks) and fixed what it found: 2 dead case-study citation URLs (one, Arc'teryx, was never in the real curated case-study database at all), all 4 executives missing source citations since day one, a stale executive title, an invalid data-schema value, a tech-stack contradiction, and 4 placeholder solution-map cards.

• 2026-07-09 (night, continued) · PRISM — named the actual root cause behind the whole night's pattern: the GitHub skill repo and the code running live on the VPS have drifted apart across roughly 40 skills with no sync mechanism at all — confirmed one live skill file was still telling agents to use a dead API 5+ days after the fix had already landed in the repo. Fixed 2 skills by symlinking the live path straight to the repo, so those two structurally cannot drift apart again; the rest need the same manual pair-review before it's safe to do the same. Started the real architectural fix for "the live page should read straight from the database instead of a static baked copy" — built and verified a working Postgres-backed API endpoint, but wiring the page's own JavaScript to call it hit a genuine login-session bug (Clerk's auth-refresh flow breaks a plain fetch call); a quick fix would have weakened real authentication, so it was correctly left unresolved rather than patched insecurely. Corrected 3 of the assistant's own wrong assumptions after Arijit pushed back and live testing was actually done instead of arguing: Postgres already has a proper 13-table relational schema, not just one big blob; Crossbeam MCP is already authenticated and works, it was just never being called by the partner-intel skill; Scout's local scraping was one configuration flag away from working, not fundamentally broken. A full written plan for finishing this cleanup is saved to the VPS repo (arijit-skills/docs/PIPELINE-UNIFICATION-PLAN.md), ready for a fresh session to pick up and execute.

• 2026-07-09 (night, later) · AI-OS — RAM/GPU/PSU wired into live code in ONE dispatch, zero failed rounds (contrast with CPU's 9-round detour): RAM opens a corner-bracket-only volumetric galaxy hologram with working cluster drill-down, GPU opens a HUD-frame project list that navigates to the real CI-OS plan view, PSU opens a HUD-frame cost summary that navigates to the real Usage & Value screen with matching numbers, CPU verified unbroken. All 4 motherboard chips now fully interactive end to end — first real evidence the session's codified pre-flight gates work. Verified via 8 direct screenshots, not the agent's self-report. (source: AI-OS/SESSION.md; this session)
• 2026-07-10 (very early) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — Arijit halted further building on the next handoff architecture (a pure-orchestrator design tested only with faked data the prior night) after a day of incident-response building on assumptions; ordered a real E2E test on real data before touching code again. Built and ran a 6-case test suite against real disposable Agent Studio -dev agents (production never touched): real offer-signal precision 10/10 (5 design questions correctly got no specialist offer, 5 implementation questions correctly did — using the model's actual output, not a hand-written fake), real orchestrator-chaining-correctness 10/10 (the test script's own scoring had a null===false JS strict-equality bug that initially under-reported this as 5/10 — a false negative in the test, not the architecture). One test case (real browser/network-tab pass) not yet run. Zero production code touched — production (native config.suggestions) is unchanged and still live. (source: Projects/Algolia-Central/spectrum/index.md; docs/spikes/2026-07-10-e2e-orchestrator-results.json)
• 2026-07-10 (post-midnight) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — shipped the real offer-caching-race fix: a new dedicated ACS-classifier-neural agent, called synchronously by the client right after Generic answers, replaced Agent Studio's racy async config.suggestions job entirely. Full development-loop build (A1-A9, FULL path — Risk STRIDE + Architecture Review both run since this touches a live production agent ID). 2 Criticals caught pre-Build: a query-provenance/injection risk in the pure-orchestrator design still under consideration, and a scopeTools gap with no way to give an agent zero search tools. A live 7-pair acceptance probe against real -dev agents caught a real classifier over-triggering bug (false SPECIALIST: offers on ambiguous design questions) BEFORE the production flip — fixed the prompt's "if unsure, default to offer" tie-break, re-verified 7/7. The separately-validated pure-orchestrator design (10/10 on real E2E data the prior night) was then deliberately KILLED for ACS: once the classifier existed, the orchestrator's routing decision became provably redundant with what the client already computes, adding 2 extra network hops for zero behavioral difference. Kept fully specced, shelved for Algolia-Central2's port. Merged (squash), pushed, deployed, browser-verified with a real repeated question (offer survived identically both times). Commit: 860ed3e. (source: Projects/Algolia-Central/spectrum/index.md; .development-loop/run-2026-07-09-002/)
• 2026-07-10 (post-midnight, continued) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — 3 more real bugs, all caught by Arijit actually using the live deployed site, none caught by the automated test suite: (1) the classifier still fired and offered a deep-dive on an EMPTY Generic answer (the known ~1-in-8 platform flake) — fixed by skipping the classifier call when the answer is blank (be576e7). (2) A numbered-list rendering bug — the markdown-lite renderer only recognized bullet lines, so numbered lists fell through to a plain paragraph with no list styling. First fix attempt added a 4px spacing change (ca19f83) — Arijit correctly rejected it as invisible/not a real fix, sent a fresh screenshot proving it. (3) The REAL root cause, found by checking document.querySelector('ol') on the live production page and getting null: the renderer classified a WHOLE text block as list-or-prose, so an intro sentence sharing a block with a numbered list (the normal shape of a real answer — no blank line before "1. Do X") sent the entire block, list included, to the plain-paragraph path. Fixed by grouping lines into same-kind consecutive runs instead of classifying the whole block (c3ad2b9), verified via a real DOM query on production this time, not a screenshot. Also confirmed a standing infra issue got worse, not better: the auto-mode classifier now blocks even the mandate-guard.sh hook's own sanctioned self-unlock file write, not just the guarded command — every push/deploy this session needed Arijit to run manually, no exceptions found.

• 2026-07-10 (session close) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — session closed clean, no new work since the prior persist. Classifier fix, empty-answer fix, and the real numbered-list fix all remain shipped, deployed, and live-verified. Open items unchanged: sample-questions UI ask (unscoped), stale plan doc, AC2 port, mandate-guard.sh.
• 2026-07-10 (post-midnight) · PRISM — resumed the crashed 2026-07-09 Belk re-validation; found the crash had left fabricated data live on the served page (fabricated hiring roles, 3x-wrong Nordstrom revenue), pulled to a holding page immediately before further work. Fixed 8 real defects: DB-write agent that silently sourced from the wrong file (caught by a nested-payload check, not the status columns that looked fine — false-green lesson); partner-intel client-render field mismatch flattening 6 real relationships into fake-looking cards (pruned to 1 confirmed, per "only validated stays"); screenshot filename mismatch (every finding image 404'd silently); a real manual WAF-passed screenshot on disk but never wired in; a signal mislabeled "Partnership" that was actually a competitive threat; a self-admitted weak signal rendering as false-HIGH-urgency; a Solution Map with no real case-study proof; and a duplicated/mislabeled press quote found only via a mandated spot-check of untouched sections. Final gate v6: WARN, score 8.3, blocking_count 0, live again. Also found (not fixed): 4 other companies missing from the hub listing page. The other 17 companies in the SOP's queue explicitly NOT started tonight — real token cost needs Arijit's go-ahead. (source: Projects/PRISM/log.md 2026-07-10 entry; PIP repo)
• 2026-07-10 (handoff) · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — session closed via /handoff. Classifier fix, empty-answer fix, and the real numbered-list fix remain shipped, deployed, and live-verified. No new work since the last persist. Resume artifact: repo SESSION.md.
• 2026-07-12 · ACS (Algolia-Central-Spectrum) — doc/planning cleanup session, no code. Explained the 2026-07-10 classifier architecture to Arijit by reading instructions_classifier.md directly. Archived the stale 2026-07-09-revert-to-tool-call-and-port-to-ac2.md plan. Deleted and rewrote 2026-07-10-reconciled-handoff-architecture-build.md in place — its Track A/B framing never shipped; replaced with an as-shipped summary + a scoped AC2-port task list (3 decisions still pending: agent roster, browser-direct vs backend-mediated, dead-code disposition). Ran the brainstorming skill on the unscoped sample-questions UI hint, root-caused the real problem (chips look inert, no label), got an approved spec (docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-10-empty-state-sample-question-nudge-design.md), not yet built. Collected 3 decisions: mandate-guard.sh gets a real hook redesign; AC2 port scoping started; eval/calibration deferred again. Commits: fc2b9b8, 24887d0.
