SESSION-STATE.md - Active Working Memory

Last Updated: 2026-07-09 00:00 UTC

Current Focus

Vault memory/index hygiene. VAULT-INDEX.md and this working-memory file had gone stale relative to the repo: the old index still carried a 2026-02-13 stamp and stale links, while this file still reflected a 2026-05-19 monitoring focus.

The immediate work is a documentation-only refresh from actual repo state: current directory tree, recent git history, monitoring config/logs, memory files, and active/pending notes.

Also flagged: the auto-backup cadence needs investigation. Git history shows automated Auto-backup HH:MM commits every ~6 hours from 2026-05-20 through 9b4a0fc (Auto-backup 2026-06-27_00:00), then no auto-backup commits after 2026-06-27. The later docs PR commits landed on 2026-06-26, 2026-07-02, and 2026-07-03, but the auto-backup process did not resume.

Recent Work

  1. Auto-backup run (2026-05-20 through 2026-06-27)

    • Git history contains many Auto-backup YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM commits at roughly 6-hour cadence.
    • Last auto-backup commit verified: 9b4a0fc — Auto-backup 2026-06-27_00:00.
    • No auto-backup commits are present after 2026-06-27.
  2. Repo onboarding docs merged (PR #1, 2026-06-26)

    • a638922 added repo onboarding docs.
    • Merge commit 7f9e7da merged PR #1 from reggie-vault-onboarding.
  3. Assistant startup guidance merged (PR #2, 2026-07-02)

    • 754a251 updated AGENTS.md and README.md.
    • Added docs/assistant-startup.md.
  4. Vault index case-collision fix merged (PR #3, 2026-07-03)

    • 3df1055 renamed INDEX.md to VAULT-INDEX.md.
    • Updated index.md.
    • This is the current last commit in the repo.
  5. Memory/index refresh (2026-07-09)

    • VAULT-INDEX.md regenerated from the current tree.
    • This file regenerated from verified git history and repo state.
    • No fabricated heartbeat, analytics, or infrastructure activity carried forward.

Pending Items

  • Investigate stopped auto-backups. The script in this repo is scripts/backup-to-github.sh, but the stopped cadence likely runs from an external host/sandbox/cron because no new auto-backup commits exist after 2026-06-27. Follow-up should check the actual scheduler/host that invokes the backup process.
  • Restart or repair daily memory maintenance. Dated files in memory/ stop at memory/2026-05-20.md; no daily memory files exist for 2026-07-08 or 2026-07-09. HEARTBEAT.md still says to create today’s memory file if missing, so the heartbeat/memory-maintenance loop appears stale.
  • Investigate stopped site healthcheck logging. monitoring/healthcheck.log stops at 2026-05-20 01:17 UTC. monitoring/sites.json and monitoring/healthcheck.sh define the automated healthcheck scope, but the log does not show continued execution.
  • Resolve monitoring scope confusion. The automated healthcheck monitors 4 sites: CalWizz, CalWizz Blog, Chainlog, and Axiom Reference. INFRASTRUCTURE.md separately tracks a broader hosted-property inventory of about 8 properties. The old 7/7 vs 8/8 wording mixed these two scopes; future updates should state which scope is being discussed.
  • Review old proactive tracker items before carrying them forward. 00_inbox/proactive-tracker.md, TONIGHT.md, and notes/future-considerations.md contain older ideas and queues. Some may still matter, but they need fresh verification before being treated as active work.

Today’s Heartbeat Checks (2026-07-09)

  • ✅ Repository state checked: working tree started clean on branch adam/som-26-refresh-stale-session-state-vault-index.
  • ✅ Git history checked: last repo commit is 3df1055 on 2026-07-03; no commits after that.
  • ✅ Memory files checked: 86 dated daily logs, spanning 2026-01-27 through 2026-05-20.
  • ✅ Monitoring checked from repo files: automated healthcheck config covers 4 sites; log stops on 2026-05-20.
  • ✅ Analytics archive checked: vault/analytics/ contains CalWizz and True Baby Cost JSON reports through 2026-05-27.
  • ⚠️ No live external checks run from this refresh. This update is based on repository evidence, not fresh uptime, email, calendar, or analytics API calls.

Notes

  • Do not repeat the old May weekly analytics or infrastructure review numbers as current. They are historical last-known entries only.
  • The old May 10 backup network issue and axiomreference.com domain-transfer reminders were not re-verified as active; do not carry them forward as current blockers without fresh evidence.
  • monitoring/sites.json lists “SomeShovels Changelog” at https://changelog.someshovels.com, while monitoring/healthcheck.sh checks Chainlog at https://www.chainlog.tech. Both still represent the same 4-site automated monitoring scope, but the URL mismatch may be worth cleaning up later.
  • This refresh deliberately touches only VAULT-INDEX.md and SESSION-STATE.md.

Refresh interval: Daily target, but actual memory maintenance appears stale. Last updated: 2026-07-09 00:00 UTC
