+# 2026-02-18 - Chaotic Day with GLM-4.7 🦀
+
+## Model Issues
+- Session started on GLM-4.7 (free Nvidia model via ZAI)
+- GLM-4.7 caused repeated timeouts throughout the day — Anthony kept seeing "Continue where you left off. The previous model attempt failed or timed out."
+- Model eventually switched to anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 late in the day
+
+## Docker Issue Discovered
+- Morning Briefing cron failing with "spawn docker ENOENT" error
+- Runtime showing "docker/non-main" when it should show "direct/non-main"
+- Root cause: OpenClaw trying to use Docker but it's not installed/available
+- Anthony's iMac node connected but exec via node not available in this config
+
+## Email Check Cron Saga
+- Email check cron was spamming notifications every 15 minutes (supposed to be silent)
+- Root cause: systemEvent payload always fires a notification, regardless of script output
+- Multiple failed attempts to fix it:
+  1. Changed payload text (still fired)
+  2. Changed to isolated session (broke exec access, script failed)
+  3. Changed back to main session with "exec" prefix (still fired)
+  4. Finally DISABLED the cron job entirely
+- **Lesson learned:** systemEvent crons ALWAYS notify. For silent background tasks, use agentTurn isolated with delivery.mode=none, or handle in heartbeat
+
+## Exec Tool Availability
+- exec tool not available in sandbox mode
+- exec host=node requires companion app support
+- Anthony's iMac node doesn't support system.run in this config
+- This is a significant limitation for automation scripts
+
+## Anthony's unfinished question
+- Anthony typed "Can you treat my exec" but message kept getting cut off due to model timeouts
+- Never got the full question — follow up next session!
+
+## Key Lessons
+- GLM-4.7 is unreliable for main sessions — too many timeouts
+- systemEvent cron payloads are NOT silent — they always fire a notification
+- exec tool needs careful host configuration to work
+- API keys should NOT be in workspace files (found SendClaw key in TOOLS.md — security issue)
