[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] **Magoo News Pulse — CRITICAL: CHECK FOR DUPLICATES FIRST**

## STEP 1: READ MEMORY (MANDATORY)
Before searching, read these files:
1. `memory/2026-02-13.md` — check all news items from today
2. `MEMORY.md` — check for major ongoing stories

## STEP 2: EXTRACT LINKS
Collect ALL source URLs already reported in last 6 hours. DO NOT report these again.

## STEP 3: SEARCH (8-12 new items)
Only report stories NOT in the link list above.

Categories to search:
- GitHub/Tech (2-3 items) — SearXNG: `github trending agentic` + `day`
- AI Industry (2-3 items) — web_search with freshness="pd"
- Global Politics (2-3 items) — Reuters, AP, BBC
- Markets (1-2 items) — Bloomberg, CNBC
- Science (1-2 items) — Space.com, Nature, Ars

## STEP 4: VERIFY NEW
For each candidate story:
- Is the source URL already in memory? → SKIP
- Is this the same event as something reported in last 6h? → SKIP
- Is this genuinely new in last 20 min? → INCLUDE

## STEP 5: OUTPUT
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], Friday Feb 13, 2026

🛠 **TECH/GITHUB:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

🤖 **AI:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

🌍 **GLOBAL:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

💰 **MARKETS:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

🔬 **SCIENCE:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

If <3 genuinely new items: Report "Nothing new in last 20 min" and STOP.

**DO NOT REPEAT:** Anthropic $30B, Musk/Anthropic feud, Pentagon AI classified networks, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, Ukraine peace proposals — these were already reported.
Current time: Friday, February 13th, 2026 — 5:09 PM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user is asking me to perform a news pulse update. Let me follow the instructions carefully:

1. First, I need to read memory files to check for duplicates
2. Extract all source URLs from the last 6 hours
3. Search for new items (8-12)
4. Verify they're actually new
5. Output the briefing

Let me start by reading the memory files as instructed.

## Session Summary (03:20-04:05 UTC)

### User
- **Skinny** (@skinnyc813, 6558388607) - runs multiple OpenClaw agents

### Major Task: Autonomous Overnight Workflow Setup

Set up all 7 OpenClaw agents to follow an autonomous work procedure:

**The Pattern:**
1. **SOUL.md** - Contains Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
2. **TODO.md** - Task list (drop tasks here before bed)
3. **PROGRESS-LOG.md** - Work journal (read in morning)
4. **Cron jobs** - Safety net at 2am, 4am, 6am UTC

**Agents Configured:**
| Agent | Workspace | Telegram Account |
|-------|-----------|------------------|
| main | workspace | fred |
| magoo | workspace-magoo | magoo |
| mark-twain | workspace-mark-twain | twain |
| clinker | workspace-clinker | clinker |
| ash-permits | workspace-ash-permits | carl |
| cannadeals-marketing | workspace-cannadeals-marketing | canna |
| ghc-marketing | workspace-ghc-marketing | maya |

**What I Did:**
- ✅ Updated SOUL.md on all 7 workspaces with autonomous work loop
- ✅ Created TODO.md and PROGRESS-LOG.md for all 7 workspaces
- ✅ Created 21 cron jobs (3 per agent at 2/4/6am UTC)
- ✅ Preserved all existing cron jobs (ghc deal posting, canna engagement, etc.)
- ✅ Updated USER.md with Skinny's info
- ✅ Deleted BOOTSTRAP.md

**Existing Cron Jobs (preserved):**
- ghc-marketing: Deal Post every 30min, 3 blog posts daily, X engagement
- cannadeals-marketing: ~20 jobs (morning posts, engagement rounds, random checks)

### Verification
- 4am cron jobs ran successfully on all agents
- All found no pending tasks (TODO.md empty) - expected for fresh setup

### Notes
- User asked about Clinker not responding - cron worked fine, suggested checking correct Telegram bot account
- cannadeals-marketing has custom SOUL.md sections preserved (server info, social media rules)

---

## How to Use the System

1. Before bed: Drop a task in any agent's `TODO.md`
2. Agent breaks it down, works through night
3. Gets nudged every 2 hours if stalled (cron safety net)
4. Morning: Check `PROGRESS-LOG.md` to see what happened


ENOENT: no such file or directory, access '/home/crogers2287/.openclaw/workspace-magoo/MEMORY.md'


MEMORY.md doesn't exist. Let me search for any memory files to find past news reports and links to avoid duplicates. I should also check if there are other date-stamped memory files.

exec

ls -la /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/workspace-magoo/memory/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No memory directory"

Question: news reported links source URL Anthropic Musk Pentagon NASA DHS Ukraine

-rw-rw-r-- 1 crogers2287 crogers2287 2078 Feb 13 04:06 2026-02-13.md


**Note**: You'll need to set `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` environment variable to use the Haiku agent for README summaries. Once generated, summaries are cached in the database.

### 🎨 **UI Improvements**
- Modern gradient header with live status indicator
- Comprehensive filter sidebar
- Sortable project lists
- Real-time stat updates via WebSocket
- Enhanced empty states
- Better keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+K for search)

**All features verified and working!** 🚀

I don't see any previous news reports in the memory files. The memory search returned results about Pindex UI work and PhoneClaw APK, but no news briefings. The memory files from 2026-02-12 and 2026-02-13 don't contain news items with links.

Let me read the older memory file from Feb 12 to be thorough, and then search for news items as instructed.

[message_id: 133]
assistant: You're absolutely right - that's **terrible mobile UX**! The sidebar is crushing the content and making the cards unusable. This is a classic responsive design failure.

**Issues I see:**
1. ❌ Sidebar takes 70% of mobile screen
2. ❌ Project cards are completely cut off
3. ❌ No way to hide/collapse filters on mobile
4. ❌ Touch targets too small
5. ❌ Not responsive at all

Let me fix this with proper mobile-first responsive design:

Question: GitHub trending agentic AI


Brave Search API error (429): {"type":"ErrorResponse","error":{"id":"8ba76ee1-b15e-4273-a5c1-9872f2128fdc","status":429,"detail":"Request rate limit exceeded for plan","meta":{"plan":"Free","rate_limit":1,"rate_current":1,"quota_limit":2000,"quota_current":313,"org_rate_limit":null,"org_rate_current":0,"component":"rate_limiter"},"code":"RATE_LIMITED"},"time":1771002569}


I found some GitHub news - GitHub Agentic Workflows in technical preview. That's a good find. The Brave API hit a rate limit on the second search. Let me use SearXNG fallback and continue searching for other categories.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Now let me use SearXNG to search for AI news, global politics, markets, and science news.

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI Anthropic Google AI news" 5 day

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "Reuters world politics news today" 5 day

GitHub Agentic Workflows let you automate repository tasks using AI agents that run within GitHub Actions. Write workflows in plain Markdown instead of complex YAML, and let AI handle intelligent decision-making for issue triage, pull request reviews, CI failure analysis, and repository maintenance.

By adding Markdown files to .github/workflows/, you can describe automation goals in natural language. The gh aw CLI converts these into standard GitHub Actions workflows that execute using GitHub Copilot CLI or other coding agents. Workflows run with read-only permissions by default and use preapproved “safe outputs” for write operations.

The feature is available in technical preview through the gh aw CLI extension.

## [Demo](#demo)

## [Key benefits](#key-benefits)

- Natural language workflows: Write automation in Markdown instead of YAML. Describe what you want in natural language, and the AI agent figures out how to do it.

- Security-first design: Read-only by default with sandboxed execution, network isolation, SHA-pinned dependencies, and sanitized write operations through safe outputs.

- Multiple coding agents: Works with GitHub Copilot CLI (default) or other AI coding agents. Same workflow format across all engines.

- Deep GitHub integration: Native access to repositories, issues, pull requests, actions, and security through the GitHub MCP Server. Additional tools for browser automation, web search, and custom MCPs.

- Flexible triggers: Respond to issues and pull request events, run on schedules, dispatch manually, or invoke via commands in comments.

- Easy to start: Install the CLI extension, create a Markdown file, compile, and commit. They run as standard GitHub Actions.

- Agentic authoring: Create, edit, debug, and optimize workflows using AI agents in VS Code, github.com, or your preferred coding agent.

- Open source: Fully open source on GitHub under the MIT license. Community contributions are welcome.

## [Examples](#examples)

Imagine repository automation that automatically triages incoming issues, investigates root causes of CI failures, maintains documentation, improves test coverage, monitors compliance, and even boosts team morale. With agentic workflows, you define these behaviors in simple Markdown files.

Not sure where to begin? Check out [Peli’s Agent Factory](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/blog/2026-01-12-welcome-to-pelis-agent-factory/) which showcases over 50 specialized agentic workflows for different use cases.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is due to address the Munich Security Conference on Saturday

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spoken of a defining moment and a "new era" as he travels to Europe to give a major speech at the Munich Security Conference.

Rubio will lead the US team at the first major global event since President Donald Trump threatened Denmark's sovereignty with a pledge to annex Greenland.

French President Emmanuel Macron has insisted Europe [must prepare for independence from the US](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8n1zdnpd3o), while Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte stressed that transatlantic bonds were as close and important as ever.

The war in Ukraine, tensions with China and a potential nuclear deal between Iran and the US are also on the agenda at the annual security conference, which began on Friday.

"The world is changing very fast right in front of us," Rubio told reporters, when asked if his message to Europeans would be more conciliatory than a year ago.

"We live in a new era in geopolitics, and it's going to require all of us to sort of re-examine what that looks like and what our role is going to be."

At last year's conference, US Vice-President JD Vance attacked Europe, including the UK, for policies on free speech and immigration. His comments triggered a year of unprecedented transatlantic tension.

Opening this year's conference, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz appealed directly to the US, saying "let's repair and revive transatlantic trust together".

He also revealed that "confidential talks" were ongoing with Macron on creating a joint European nuclear deterrent.

France and the UK are the only two nuclear powers in Europe - but Germany and many other European nations have traditionally relied on the US nuclear umbrella within the Nato alliance for deterrence.

Some 50 world leaders are set to attend this year's event, where European defence and the future of the transatlantic relationship will be discussed at a time when US commitments to Nato have been called into question.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Friday she planned to meet Rubio to discuss the US threats to seize Greenland - Denmark's semi-autonomous territory from its Nato ally.

The US threats have been viewed by many European leaders as a watershed moment that has eroded trust with its biggest ally.

Ahead of the conference, eight former US ambassadors to Nato and eight former American supreme commanders in Europe issued an open letter calling for Washington to maintain its support for the Western defensive alliance.

"Far from being a charity", they said Nato was a "force-multiplier" that allowed the US to assert its power and influence "in ways that would be impossible - or prohibitively expensive - to achieve on its own".

The transatlantic relationship has come under increasing strain following the Republican president's introduction of tariffs and a suggestion in the US national security strategy that European nations may not remain "reliable allies" in the long term.

Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel told the BBC on Friday that he recognised "the world has changed" and that he hoped the "transatlantic bond" remains "solid".

Watch key moments from Vance's 2025 speech in Munich

Rubio is expected to avoid taking Vance's abrasive approach but, when asked if he was planning to be more conciliatory, he said that Europeans "want to know where we're going, where we'd like to go, where we'd like to go with them".

Macron will also address the conference on Friday, having told the World Economic Forum in Davos last month that now was "not a time for new imperialism or new colonialism".

After a week of turbulent domestic politics, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will also travel to Munich, where he is expected to hold meetings both Merz and Macron, before addressing the conference on Saturday.

Conference chairman Wolfgang Ischinger, in a report ahead of the event, said: "For generations, US allies were not just able to rely on American power but on a broadly shared understanding of the principles underpinning the international order.

"Today, this appears far less certain, raising difficult questions about the future shape of transatlantic and international co-operation."

The former German diplomat said the White House's foreign policy "is already changing the world, and it has triggered dynamics whose full consequences are only beginning to emerge".

Upon arrival in Munich, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the conference would bring "new steps toward our shared security - that of Ukraine and Europe".

On Friday, Russia and Ukraine announced that a new round of peace talks also involving the US would take place in Geneva on 17-18 February, aimed at bringing Russia's full-scale, four-year invasion to an end.

The three countries recently held talks in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with no apparent breakthrough - though Ukraine and Russia [carried out a rare prisoner of war exchange](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62np09q7l1o) shortly after the meeting.

Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the sidelines of the conference on Friday, as Washington and Beijing seek to ease tensions over a number of issues including trade and tariffs, as well as Taiwan.

Last week, China's President Xi Jinping called Taiwan "the most important issue" at stake between the US and China during a phone call Trump.

Xi also told the US president to be "prudent" when supplying weapons to the self-governing island, which Beijing views as a breakaway state it has not ruled out taking by force and which has long been supplied militarily by the US.

Iran's nuclear programme - which Tehran maintains is peaceful - is also expected to draw focus in Munich.

Trump has threatened military action against Iran if it does not agree a new deal to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.

As more and more satellite megaconstellations continue to be launched into Earth orbit, some researchers are beginning to calculate the chances that people on the surface could be struck by the incoming remnants of these spacecraft reentering the atmosphere.
A new study by a team of Canadian researchers looks into eleven different [megaconstellations](https://www.space.com/satellite-megaconstellations-spacex-starlink-interference-astronomy) and what would happen during their fiery reentry into [Earth's atmosphere](https://www.space.com/17683-earth-atmosphere.html). What are the charred, declarative results? They find that there's a 40% collective risk of on-ground casualties if satellites do not burn up entirely.

## "Minimum lethal amount"
In [the study](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0265964626000044), the research team asked: "what happens if the minimum lethal amount of debris from each satellite does not burn up and reaches the ground intact?"
It turns out that materials used in satellites with lower melting points, such as aluminum, are more likely to demise entirely. But other spacecraft-making materials such as stainless steel, beryllium, titanium, tungsten, and silicon carbide [are less likely to do so](https://www.space.com/space-exploration/satellites/satellites-are-polluting-earths-atmosphere-with-heavy-metals-could-refueling-them-in-orbit-help). These are commonly employed in fuel tanks and reaction wheels.
When satellites nose-dive into Earth's atmosphere, the Canadian team observes, aerodynamic forces cause them to break up. The intense heat of re-entry ablates their materials into fine particles. "However, many satellites, particularly large ones, do not burn up entirely," they explain. "Risky uncontrolled reentries of space objects should be the exception, rather than the norm."

## Surviving debris
While spacecraft builders may strive for their satellites to demise entirely, Wright and fellow researchers add that there is considerable uncertainty in the degree to which total ablation can be achieved. And if a [satellite does not burn up entirely](https://www.space.com/space-exploration/satellites/3-big-hunks-of-space-junk-crash-to-earth-every-day-and-its-only-going-to-get-worse), it creates a casualty risk.
Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching events and more!

"Many existing standards and guidelines only consider individual satellites, and don't consider the cumulative effect of launching and reentering thousands at once," said Wright.
Unless satellite operators purposely direct their satellites to reenter over a specific location on Earth in a "controlled re-entry" manner, that fall from space will be uncontrolled and surviving debris will be spread out over an area centered on a random location along the satellite's orbit.
Those satellite leftovers create a casualty risk to people on the ground [and in aircraft in flight](https://www.space.com/space-exploration/satellites/the-risk-of-falling-space-junk-hitting-airplanes-is-on-the-rise-experts-warn), as well as other problems, be they infrastructure damage and airspace closures.

## Key question and recommendations
Wright and colleagues ask a key question in their analysis: Do we need so many satellites?
"It is possible to design constellations made up of fewer, higher capacity, higher quality satellites with longer operational lives. This, in turn, would reduce the risk to people on the ground and any damage to the atmosphere," they report.
As for what-next suggestions, the Canadian team offers a set of considerations.
Due to the large collective risks created by single megaconstellations, and the even larger cumulative risks from all constellations, they recommend:

- "states and their national regulators should require independent verification of claims of full 'demisability'
- evaluate collective casualty risks from entire constellations
- pursue a smooth transition to a fair, equitable, and globally applicable controlled reentry regime"
The study "[Satellite megaconstellations and collective casualty risks](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0265964626000044)" was published Feb. 6 in the journal Space Policy.

A total of 31 companies joined [The Crunchbase Unicorn Board](https://news.crunchbase.com/unicorn-company-list/) in January, the largest count of companies to join in a single month since June 2022. Collectively, those companies added $9.3 billion in funding and $58.5 billion in value to the board.

And underlining the pace at which some startups are now sprinting to billion-dollar-plus valuations, four of the new unicorns are less than a year old.

In exit news, 9-year-old fintech unicorn [Brex](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/brex) was [acquired](https://news.crunchbase.com/ma/capital-one-acquisition-fintech-startup-brex/) by [Capital One](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/capital-one) for $5.2 billion. That’s well below its January 2022 valuation of $12.3 billion but still marks a win for earlier investors seeking liquidity.

Of the 31 companies that joined the board, 23 are U.S.-based and two hail from Canada. Germany, France, Belgium, Israel, Japan and India each added one new unicorn to the board last month.

Among sectors, AI and AI infrastructure contributed the most new unicorns, totaling nine from those two areas. The next-leading sectors, with three new unicorns each, were manufacturing and security propelled by AI. AI was also a major contributor to new unicorns in the semiconductor, defense and autonomous driving sectors.

The largest funding last month for a unicorn company was $20 billion to [Elon Musk](https://www.crunchbase.com/person/elon-musk)’s [xAI](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/xai) at an [estimated value of $230 billion](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/06/elon-musk-xai-raises-20-billion-from-nvidia-cisco-investors.html). Within a month of that funding, xAI in early February announced a merger with another Musk-led company, rocketmaker [SpaceX](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/space-exploration-technologies).

## 11 exits

Brex’s acquisition by Capital One was the largest of the four M&A deals for unicorn-valued companies in January.

On the IPO side, seven companies went public, the most high-profile of which were [MiniMax](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/minimax-a48a) and [Z.ai](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/zdotai), both foundation AI model companies based in China.

## Methodology

[The Crunchbase Unicorn Board](https://news.crunchbase.com/unicorn-company-list/) is a curated list that includes private unicorn companies with post-money valuations of $1 billion or more and is based on Crunchbase data. New companies are [added to the Unicorn Board](https://www.crunchbase.com/lists/crunchbase-private-unicorn-company-list/f406c855-fff9-419b-9b44-324e1bfe3081/organization.companies) as they reach the $1 billion valuation mark as part of a funding round.

The unicorn board does not reflect internal company valuations — such as those set via a 409a process for employee stock options — as these differ from, and are more likely to be lower than, a priced funding round. We also do not adjust valuations based on investor writedowns, which change quarterly, as different investors will not value the same company consistently within the same quarter.

Funding to unicorn companies includes all private financings to companies that are tagged as unicorns, as well as those that have since graduated to [The Exited Unicorn Board](https://www.crunchbase.com/lists/exited-unicorns/9436a996-90a9-40bc-91c0-a7d239de07f1/organization.companies).

Exits analyzed here only include the first time a company exits.

Please note that all funding values are given in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Crunchbase converts foreign currencies to U.S. dollars at the prevailing spot rate from the date funding rounds, acquisitions, IPOs and other financial events are reported. Even if those events were added to Crunchbase long after the event was announced, foreign currency transactions are converted at the historic spot price.
