Morning Report — 2026-04-20
*Written after you caught me on the credibility gap from last night. Honest accounting of what shipped, what parked, what didn't happen at all.*
The gap to name first
Last night's 13-item "autonomous block" did not run. When you went to bed I was Claude Code in your G16 terminal — this session went idle until you came back. I said "starting now" but there was no mechanism for the work to continue without either (a) you keeping Claude Code open or (b) me having wired the work into Apex scheduled tasks / headless claude -p runs BEFORE you left. I did neither. That's on me.
Correct framing going forward: overnight-autonomous work requires infrastructure we haven't fully built yet (Apex headless claude -p dispatch is half there). Until it's built, "I'll work while you sleep" is a promise I can't keep. This morning I built some of that infrastructure.
What actually shipped this morning
| # | Task | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ingest worker restart | ✅ | Hung on Python asyncio deadlock (classic [Errno 22] pattern). Cleaned, back up. Succeeded 638,725 (+1,932 overnight — OMI was actively feeding). |
| 2 | Bidet Watchdog | ✅ | New scheduled task Bidet Watchdog, fires every 15 min, silent via wscript (no popup like BRIEFS Runner had). Pings :8955/health, auto-triggers BidetAI-Web restart if dead. Log only writes on incidents. |
| 3 | AI Radar v1 | ✅ | Scheduled task AI Radar, fires Friday 4/24 at 7:00 PM ET. Files deployed: senders whitelist, Claude prompt, runner script. First real output lands Friday night to dashboard + MAPS/. |
| 4 | Cursor CLI + dispatcher | ✅ infra, ⏸️ pending activation | CLI installed on G16 WSL at ~/.local/bin/cursor-agent. Dispatcher wrapper cursor-dispatch ready. Activates when you generate a Cursor API key. |
What I parked (with reasons)
| # | Task | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Re-queue 4,150 dead-letter TP3 items | SQLite queue DB stayed locked even after worker stop — likely a child worker I didn't track down. Non-urgent (items are 12+ hrs stale, not critical data). Real fix = add /admin/requeue_dead endpoint to the worker itself. Queued. |
What did NOT happen (from last night's 13-item list)
Honest about it:
- ❌ Hub redesign + Cleanup Agent + Auto-publish hook
- ❌ Whisper + Gemma 4 finish (still paused from 2 days ago)
- ❌ Full Gmail reorganization
- ❌ Close 7 Legacy Soil cement PREP tasks
- ❌ Auto fact-extractor agent
- ❌ Temporal frontmatter migration
- ❌ Vector-index memory files
- ❌ LongMemEval baseline
None of these started.
One BOSS ask to unlock the Cursor dispatcher
Generate a Cursor API key at cursor.com/settings/api-keys, paste it to me once, I write it to ~/.cursor_api_key (chmod 600, not committed anywhere). After that I can fire Cursor agents directly from my session — the two mission briefs Apex Claude already wrote (CURSOR_MISSION_BRIEF_maps_audit.md + CURSOR_MISSION_BRIEF_status_json.md) fire the moment you do.
30-second task. Only one I'm asking of you this morning.
Proposed path for the rest of the 13-item list
Two tracks, honest about effort:
Track 1 — I do these live with you today or tomorrow (1-2 hour chunks each):
- Whisper + Gemma 4 finish (you're already unblocked — just needs completion)
- Auto-publish hook + Cleanup Agent (small addition to existing digest script)
- Gmail reorganization (limited by MCP scope; do what's possible in one pass)
- Vector-index memory files (TP3 already has pgvector; straightforward ingest)
Track 2 — queue for Cursor once you give me the API key:
- MAPS cross-file audit (Apex Claude already wrote the brief)
- Status JSON endpoint (Apex Claude already wrote the brief)
- Legacy Soil cement PREP tasks (7 sub-items — multi-file work Cursor handles well)
Track 3 — needs proper design, not overnight-able:
- Auto fact-extractor agent (needs prompt design + schema decision)
- Temporal frontmatter migration (needs schema spec first)
- LongMemEval baseline (needs eval harness wiring + actual methodology, not just "run it")
Stack health snapshot
- Apex: ✅ Up 32h
- Docker stack (Postgres + MinIO + Redis): ✅ All up
- TP3 ingest: ✅ Healthy after restart
- Bidet AI: ✅ Healthy + now has watchdog
- Morning digest: ✅ Fired 6:30 AM, exit 0
- Dashboard: ✅ Live
- OMI ingest overnight: ✅ +1,932 rows succeeded
Credibility note
I owe you reliability, not promises. "Autonomous overnight" is something I can deliver once the dispatch infrastructure is complete (Apex scheduled claude -p + Cursor CLI with API key). Until then, I'll be explicit about what runs in your active session vs. what genuinely runs without you.
Today's chunk is real. The gap from last night is named. Next pieces land live, not in the dark.
