This is a cron job firing at 7:03 AM UTC on Tuesday, February 24th, 2026. The job is asking me to:
1. Read TODO.md
2. If there are pending tasks, resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
3. If all tasks complete/blocked, report status and sleep

Let me follow the boot sequence from AGENTS.md:
1. Read USER.md → who I'm helping
2. Read learnings/LEARNINGS.md → past mistakes
3. Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today + yesterday)
4. Read MEMORY.md (main session only)

Then check TODO.md for tasks.

Let me start by reading these files.

## 🚨 CRITICAL: Shell Variable Expansion Bug (PRICING)

**Issue:** Prices showing as `.69` instead of `$5.69`

**Root Cause:** Shell interprets `${x.get('price','')}` as `$x` (undefined variable), stripping the `$` sign.

**When it happens:**
- Cron job payloads using double-quoted shell strings with `$` variables
- Heredocs with unescaped `$` in prices
- Any shell command that processes prices like `$5.69`

**WRONG (will break):**
```bash
python3 -c "import json; x={'price':'$5.69'}; print(${x.get('price')})"
# Output: .69 (shell expands $x to nothing)
```

**RIGHT (safe):**
```python3
import json
x = {'price': '$5.69'}
print(x.get('price'))  # Output: $5.69
```

**Permanent Fix:**
1. **Cron jobs:** Use Python code blocks, not shell pipes with `$`
2. **File writing:** Use Python with UTF-8 encoding for all tweets
3. **SSH commands:** Use single quotes `'` not double quotes `"` when passing prices

**Verification:**
```bash
python3 scripts/validate_tweet.py '<tweet_text>'
# Checks for: missing $ signs, shell artifacts, broken emojis
```

I can see that TASKS.md exists and shows all recent tasks are "done". All the tasks listed are from Feb 19-23, and they're all completed. There are no pending or blocked tasks.

Since there are no pending tasks and all current tasks are complete, I should report status and sleep per the cron job instructions.
