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.

text: (no output)

status: completed


thinking:
The script ran but produced no output. This could mean either:
1. The script completed successfully but has no output to report
2. The script encountered an issue silently

Let me check the preconscious buffer to see if it was updated, and also check if the script exists and is executable.

thinking:
The preconscious buffer exists and was updated about 3 hours ago (20:55 vs current time 23:00). The script may have run but found no changes to make, or the script doesn't produce output.

Let me check if the script exists and what it does:

    echo "[$(date)] Updated preconscious buffer" >> "$LOGS_DIR/preconscious.log"

    echo "[$(date)] No items selected" >> "$LOGS_DIR/preconscious.log"
fi


thinking: The script exits early (line 33-34) if there are no RECENT_HIGH or RECENT_EVENTS items. Let me check the observations file and the event bus:

command: tail -50 /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/shared/total-recall/memory/events/bus.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo "No event bus file"

command: tail -20 /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/shared/total-recall/logs/preconscious.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No log file"

thinking:
The issue is clear now. The observations file exists and has content, but:
1. The items don't start with `[HIGH]` - they're `[MEDIUM]`, `[FACT]`, `[PREFERENCE]`, `[RULE]`
2. The event bus file is empty or doesn't exist

The script's grep pattern (`grep -E "^\[HIGH\]"`) only looks for HIGH priority items. Since there are no HIGH items, RECENT_HIGH is empty. And since there's no event bus, RECENT_EVENTS is also empty. So the script exits early with "No items to process".

The current preconscious buffer is from an earlier manual or initial run and hasn't been updated because the selector script's criteria are too narrow.

Let me provide a summary to the user/cron system:

text:
**Total Recall Preconscious Selector — Summary**

The script ran but exited early with "No items to process" — no updates made.

**Why:**
- No `[HIGH]` priority items in observations.md (only MEDIUM/FACT/PREFERENCE/RULE entries)
- Event bus (`events/bus.jsonl`) is empty/missing

**Current Buffer Status (unchanged from 20:55):**
- Memory systems setup [0.90] — QMD, Mem0, MemLayer active
- Infrastructure [0.85] — all operational on fred
- Active projects [0.75] — memory consolidation, Slack planning

**Next Steps:**
1. The selector script only processes `[HIGH]` items — consider widening to include `[MEDIUM]`
2. The event bus needs population (no events recorded)
3. Or adjust the scoring to include FACT/PREFERENCE items with lower baseline scores
