## Session State (pre-compaction flush)

### Active Work
- Skool transcription batch was running on llamacpp (PID 3172), 24/48 videos processed, 14 failed on permissions (D J fixed). Needs re-run check.
- ARI researching Knowledge Builder competitive landscape (session: agent:ari:subagent:9b7acc07)
- SPARK scoring Knowledge Builder idea

### Pending
- Chrome CDP relaunch needed for X scraping (two posts pending eval)
- Nexus systemd service still not created — dev server keeps dying
- Telegram standup delivery needs D J's chat ID configured
- 10+ unresearched SPARK ideas in queue
- RAG indexing for completed Skool transcripts (restart Ollama first)

### Key Numbers
- 46+ SPARK ideas total
- BUY rated: spark-002 (AI Consulting ⭐8), spark-006 (QA ⭐7), spark-012 (Legacy Migration ⭐7)
- High conviction new: spark-039 (Knowledge Base Builder ⭐8), spark-040 (Email Outreach ⭐8), spark-045 (EntraID Audits ⭐9)

### Forge Hired
- D J originally approved Forge hiring + provided full SOUL.md (lost in compaction)
- Re-created workspace, registered in gateway config 2026-02-14 ~10:15 PM
- SOUL.md: "Frontline Operations & Runtime Guardian Engine" — 4 modes (Triage/Build/Harden/Advise), FORGE framework (Fault Tolerance/Observability/Repeatability/Governance/Efficiency), 9 doctrine principles
- First tasks: Skool transcription retry, nexus.service, GPU time-sharing automation, NAS fstab hardening

### Session Summary (evening 2026-02-14 ~9pm - 1am)
- Fixed standup Telegram delivery (to field format)
- ARI evaluated 8 tweets (5 noise, 2 watch, 1 signal — QuantifiedStrat trend paper)
- SPARK generated spark-051 through spark-058
- Removed EntraID ideas (spark-029, spark-045) from board per D J — employment agreement concern
- AgentZero vs OpenClaw competitive analysis — different lanes, not direct competitors
- Spun up AgentZero Docker container, tore it down after evaluation
- Stole 3 ideas: auto-learning RAG memory, self-creating tools, agent-as-MCP-server
- Built auto-memory-hook.py + auto-memory-recall.py, running on 15min cron
- Hired Forge 🔥 (DevOps) — full SOUL.md from D J (FORGE framework), registered in gateway
- Forge completed: nexus.service (systemd), Ollama restart, 48 Skool transcript ChromaDB indexing (898 chunks)
- Glitch completed: Nexus interactive task board + SPARK ideas board, top 5 awesome-usecase tools
- Created case-task-dispatcher cron (every 15min, auto-assigns idle agents to tasks)
- Disabled bravo-idle-check (superseded by dispatcher)
- Updated web stack: Next.js 15 + Tailwind v4 + Framer Motion + ShadCN + Lucide + TS + WebSockets/SSE (no Convex)
- Knowledge Builder MVP spec written (data/knowledge-builder-mvp.md) — queued #1 critical for Glitch
- Created checkpoint-research skill for resumable multi-step research
- GPU box is Debian LXC (no sudo needed)
- D J went to bed ~1am, office running autonomously

### Morning Session (2026-02-15 ~9am-11:30am)
- ARI completed Knowledge Builder competitive research (v4, with checkpoints) — all 8 competitors analyzed
  - Key finding: $10-25/mo prosumer gap wide open, nobody combines self-hosted + polished UX
  - Recommended pricing: $12/mo Personal tier
  - Limitless acquired by Meta — validates space, leaves vacuum
  - Full report: data/investigations/kb-competitive-progress.md
- Glitch built Knowledge Builder MVP — LIVE at http://192.168.86.45:3001
  - Next.js 15 + Tailwind v4 + ShadCN + Framer Motion + Lucide + TypeScript
  - Dashboard, project CRUD, multi-source ingestion (YouTube/PDF/text/URLs), processing pipeline, RAG chat, LLM config
  - Systemd service on port 3001
  - Phase 1 only — no container generation yet
- **Web stack updated**: Convex REMOVED. Stack is now Next.js 15 + Tailwind v4 + Framer Motion + ShadCN + Lucide + TS + WebSockets/SSE
- D J asked about converting map screenshots to vectors (AVA wine regions)
  - Tools: ImageMagick (convert) + Potrace for bitmap→SVG, ogr2ogr (GDAL) for GeoJSON→KML
  - Found UC Davis AVA dataset: https://github.com/UCDavisLibrary/ava (CC0 public domain, 276 AVAs)
  - Glitch built ava-converter.py, converted all 276 AVAs to KML
  - Forge pushed to Gitea: https://git.letsgetnashty.com/case/ava-kmls
  - Jinx QA'd — all 276 files PASS
  - D J wants email sent to Meg (megmcnamara3@gmail.com) with access instructions — SMTP failed, browser automation flaky, PENDING
- SPARK generated spark-055 through spark-071 overnight (16 new ideas, board at 69 total)
- Task dispatcher running every 15min, standups every 2h — office fully autonomous
- Task board cleared to 0 active (9 completed)
- **Meg's email**: megmcnamara3@gmail.com (D J's girlfriend, needs AVA KML access instructions)

### Product Direction
- **Knowledge Base Builder** — top priority product idea. Ingest video/audio/text/books into isolated RAG databases, generate expert AI agents. ARI doing competitive research (NotebookLM, CustomGPT, Chatbase, Mem.ai, Khoj, Limitless).
