## Achievements
### 2026-02-06: Fixed Daily AI Newsletter Digest + Added Weather
- **Problem:** Newsletter automation was broken, using unreliable `mutt` that returned empty results
- **Solution:** Rewrote script to use reliable `imap-smtp-email` skill with single IMAP search + local regex filtering
- **Script:** `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/automations/ai-newsletter-digest/daily-digest.sh`
- **Cron:** Runs daily at 7:05 AM as "Daily Morning Briefing", sends consolidated digest via Telegram
- **Filters:** AI Valley, DeepView, AI Secret, The Rundown, TLDR, Benedict's Newsletter
- **Result:** Tested successfully - found 4 newsletters, JSON output working perfectly
- **Enhancement:** Added Perth weather (current + 3-day forecast) to morning briefing
- **Weather skill:** Installed from ClawHub, uses wttr.in (no API key needed)

### 2026-02-07: Model Change + Automation Stack Expansion
- **Default Model:** Changed to `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5` for all new sessions
- **ClawFlows + Lobster:** Installed multi-skill automation CLI and workflow engine (patched for Node.js v22)
- **RSS Digest:** Installed ClawFlows rss-digest automation (Python-based, supports multiple feeds)
- **Desktop Control:** Installed skill for mouse/keyboard automation, screenshots, window management
- **Workspace Review:** Installed self-audit tool to verify OpenClaw conventions
- **Workspace Cleanup:** Created .gitignore, organized daily logs, prepared for git commit

### 2026-02-12: Nvidia GLM-4.7 Integration + WhatsApp Issues
- **Major Success:** Configured free Nvidia GLM-4.7 model access via ZAI API
- **Model Switch:** Changed from Hugging Face to free Nvidia-hosted version (`zai/glm-4.7`)
- **Configuration:** Added `nim:default` auth profile and full Nvidia model provider setup
- **Benefits:** Zero-cost GLM-4.7 access with 200k context window
- **WhatsApp Issues:** Experiencing frequent disconnections (status 440 errors) during gateway changes
- **BlueBubbles:** Successfully configured iMessage integration for Mac server access
- **Learning:** Nvidia integration requires auth profile + model provider + catalog + gateway restarts

### 2026-02-13: System Update & Model Configuration Reset + Backup Gap Discovery
- **Problem:** OpenClaw update wiped Nvidia GLM-4.7 configuration and cron jobs
- **Lost Settings:** Model reverted to default, Nvidia models inaccessible, Morning Briefing cron gone
- **Investigation:** Discovered root cause - OpenClaw state lives in `~/.openclaw/` NOT workspace
- **Critical Gap:** Backup script only saves workspace, NOT:
  - `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/cron/` (all cron jobs!)
  - `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (gateway + model config)
  - `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/skills/` (installed skills)
- **Recovery:** Recreated Morning Briefing cron (7:05 AM daily)

### 2026-02-13: Backup System FIXED - Now Includes State Directory
- **Problem:** Config kept getting wiped on updates because state wasn't backed up
- **Solution:** Extended backup script to include `~/.openclaw/` state
- **Files Now Backed Up:**
  - `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` - Gateway config (models, plugins, channels)
  - `~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json` - All cron jobs
  - `~/.openclaw/skills/*.json` - Skill metadata
  - `~/.openclaw/devices/paired.json` - Paired devices
- **Backup Location:** `http://gitea.kangaroo-eel.ts.net:3000/Anthony/openclaw-backup.git`
- **Schedule:** Daily at 2:00 AM (Perth time)
- **Restore Command:** `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/restore-from-gittea.sh`
- **Security:** Credentials are intentionally EXCLUDED from backup (stored separately)
- **Result:** Config persistence guaranteed - no more "flaky" behavior

### 2026-02-13: WhatsApp Privacy Leak - Channel Names Exposed
- **Issue:** Anthony seeing channel names (like "fumos") from community groups in WhatsApp
- **Root Cause:** WhatsApp Channels (@broadcast) sync files cached channel metadata
- **Fix Applied:** Deleted @broadcast files from credentials, gateway cache refreshed
- **Status:** FIXED - Channel names no longer visible in dropdown

### 2026-02-19: $96 OpenRouter Bill - CRITICAL LESSON
- **NEVER use `openrouter/anthropic/*` models — EVER**
- Accidentally used Anthropic Sonnet 4 via OpenRouter and racked up **$96 in 1 hour**
- OpenRouter charges massive markups on Anthropic models vs direct API
- **Always use `anthropic/claude-*` direct** (uses `anthropic:default` auth profile)
- OpenRouter is fine for non-Anthropic models (deepseek, qwen, etc.)
- This is a **hard rule** — no exceptions, no matter what

### 2026-02-20: Model & Memory Configuration Updates
- **Primary Model:** Changed to `moonshot/kimi-2.5` with Anthony's new Kimi API key
- **Local Embeddings:** Switched from OpenAI (quota exceeded) to local `embeddinggemma-300m-qat-Q8_0.gguf`
- **Memory Status:** 19/19 files indexed, 41 chunks, hybrid search enabled
- **Heartbeat Model:** Changed to `azure-openai-responses/gpt-5-nano` for cheaper/faster heartbeat checks
- **Learning:** OpenAI API quota was exceeded - switched to local embeddings as free alternative

### 2026-02-21: OpenWebUI Memory Import
- **Task:** Import Anthony's memories from OpenWebUI into Krilly's MEMORY.md
- **Method:** Logged into https://openweb.kangaroo-eel.ts.net using stored credentials
- **Source:** 50+ detailed memories covering family, health, work, preferences, tech setup, and personal history
- **Result:** Successfully extracted and organized all memories into structured MEMORY.md format
- **Key insights learned:**
  - Detailed family health history (mother's cancer journey)
  - Complete Mia (dog) genetic breakdown
  - Career elevator pitch and achievements
  - Pacific Energy work details and brand guidelines
  - 2025 New Year's resolutions
  - Health regimen (medications, supplements, skincare)
  - Tech stack preferences and goals

### 2026-02-22: Stability + Memory Reliability Day
- **Root instability pattern:** multiple cron jobs referenced disallowed models (`opencode/kimi-k2.5-free` / trinity free), causing repeated failures and "flaky" behavior.
- **Fix direction:** moved key cron jobs to `opencode/glm-5-free` and restarted gateway.
- **Email preference update:** Anthony does **not** want noisy per-email alerts; keep alerts minimal.
- **Digest anti-duplication rule:** send **exactly one** digest email per run, no fallback duplicate sends.
- **Digest sender preference:** use `krillyclaw@gmail.com` as sender for digest emails.
- **Control UI incident:** UI not loading was resolved by gateway restart and endpoint verification.
- **Memory pain point (important):** Anthony strongly dislikes losing hours of context after crashes; prioritize frequent memory checkpointing and durable summaries.
### 2026-02-26: Capability Evolver Installed + Daily Self-Improvement Automation - **Skill installed:** `capability-evolver` (35k+ downloads - most popular self-improvement skill) - **What it does:** - Scans session logs for errors and patterns - Identifies repeated tool usage and inefficiencies - Autonomously writes code patches to fix issues - Uses GEP (Genome Evolution Protocol) for auditable, protocol-constrained evolution - Spawns sub-agents to apply fixes safely - **First run results:** - Scanned 162 session logs - Archived 112 old logs - Detected patterns: `exec` (7 uses), `process` (6 uses) - Spawned executor agent to apply improvements - **Cron job added:** Daily at 4:00 AM Perth time - **Location:** `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/skills/capability-evolver/` - **Safety features:** Review mode available, single-process logic, git sync recommended ### 2026-02-26: Fixed AI Newsletter Digest Timezone + Schedule - **Problem:** AI Newsletter Digest was running at 10:30 PM (22:30) instead of morning, and had no timezone set (defaulting to UTC) - **Root cause:** Job was created without `tz` field, so cron interpreted times as UTC - **Fix applied:** Changed schedule from `30 22 * * *` to `0 7 * * *` with `Australia/Perth` timezone - **Result:** Now runs at 7:00 AM Perth time every day (perfect for morning digest) --- ### 2026-02-25: Claude Pro Proxy Default Model Fix - CRITICAL CONFIG - **Problem:** New sessions weren't using the Claude Pro proxy (`sub-claude/claude-sonnet-4-6`) even though the proxy was set up correctly - config had no `defaultModel` set - **Root cause:** The `sub-claude` alias existed in config, but `defaultModel` was `null`, so each new session picked random fallback models - **Symptom:** Anthony started a new session and it used Qwen instead of Claude Pro - **Fix applied:** Added `"defaultModel": "sub-claude/claude-sonnet-4-6"` to `/home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json` - **Verification:** Confirmed with `cat openclaw.json | python3 -c "import json; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('defaultModel'))"` → returned `sub-claude/claude-sonnet-4-6` - **Result:** All new sessions from now on will automatically route through Claude Pro subscription via the proxy - **Key learning:** Setting up the proxy alias isn't enough - must also set `defaultModel` in config to point to it

### 2026-02-28: Medical Emergency
- **Event:** Anthony fainted 4+ times in one day (after lunch, after climbing stairs, getting out of Uber)
- **Symptoms:** Vision/hearing loss each time, plus chest tightness
- **ECG Results (Apple Watch):** Sinus rhythm, 91 BPM, no atrial fibrillation
- **Status:** Anthony home and resting by evening
- **Note:** Added Opus (anthropic/claude-opus-4-6) to Anthony's model selection options for variety

### 2026-03-01: Piper TTS Set Up + Weekly Insights
- **Piper TTS:** Local offline TTS skill set up with Ryan voice (US male)
- **Testing:** Successfully played test message on Home Assistant Google Nest display (volume 92%)
- **Note:** Sonos speaker has issues (stuck in paused state), but Nest display works well
- **User preferences (heartbeat):** During heartbeat polls, if no errors, reply only `HEARTBEAT_OK` (no extra status text)
- **Timestamp preference:** Use GMT+8 / Australia-Perth time in user-facing responses (not UTC)

---

*(This will grow as we build history together)*

### 2026-02-25: Major Workspace Cleanup + Memory Viewer Installation
- **Workspace Cleanup:** Reorganized workspace to match OpenClaw Starter Kit v4.0 structure
  - **Before:** 18 root directories, 120 inactive skills, cluttered root
  - **After:** 7 root .md files, 6 directories (archive/, automations/, memory/, scripts/, sessions/, skills/)

  - **Aligned:** HEARTBEAT.md, memory workflow, cron architecture
  - **Score:** 70% aligned (3 failing cron jobs need model updates)
- **Key learning:** Workspace structure matters for context efficiency; Memory Viewer provides excellent visibility into memory architecture

### 2026-03-01: Weekly Distill

- **Email Monitoring:** Set up comprehensive email monitoring for Anthony's personal Gmail, including a daily AI newsletter digest scheduled for 6:30 AM Perth time.
