[cron:da321474-a668-480a-832b-431f8678d0c0 ghc-marketing-todo-check-2am] Cron nudge: Read TODO.md. If there are pending tasks, resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop. If all tasks are complete or blocked, report status and sleep.
Current time: Saturday, March 7th, 2026 — 7:13 AM (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.

thinking:
This is a cron job asking me to check TODO.md and resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop if there are pending tasks. Let me read TODO.md first to see what's pending.

According to AGENTS.md, I should:
1. Read USER.md → who I am helping
2. Read learnings/LEARNINGS.md → past mistakes to avoid
3. Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today + yesterday)
4. Main session only: Read MEMORY.md

But this is a cron job, not a main session. Let me first check TODO.md to see what tasks exist.

error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access '/home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/ghc-marketing/TODO.md'


thinking: No TODO.md file exists. Let me check if there's a TASKS.md file (as mentioned in AGENTS.md) or any other task tracking files.


thinking: The tool returned "NO_REPLY" which is odd - it seems like it read the file but it might be empty or just have that text. Let me check the memory folder for today and yesterday to see if there's any context on pending tasks.

# MEMORY.md — GottaHaveCoups Marketing

Permanent lessons and critical gotchas for the GHC marketing system.

## 🚨 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
```

*Last updated: 2026-02-14*


thinking:
Now I have context. Let me check if there are any active crons by looking at current schedules, and check today's date file (which doesn't exist yet).

Based on the cron check from yesterday:
- TODO.md: Does not exist
- TASKS.md: Empty
- No active tasks pending
- There's an outstanding blocker about FB Deal Post Cron (Telegram bot can't initiate conversation)

So the status is: No pending tasks. All blog posts from yesterday completed successfully. The only blocker is the FB posting issue which requires human action.

Let me verify the cron status to see if there are any active jobs running.

thinking:
I can see there are several cron jobs related to ghc-marketing:

1. `ghc-marketing-todo-check-2am` (this one, da321474) - running, checking TODO
2. `fb-deal-posts-10min` (8b33bb43) - every 10min, ERROR status
3. `ghc-marketing-heartbeat...` (1c3bffe5) - every 2h, ok

The fb-deal-posts-10min is in ERROR status. Let me check what's happening with that.

But first, let me report the status. Based on yesterday's notes:
- No pending tasks in TODO.md (doesn't exist) or TASKS.md (empty)
- Blog posts all completed yesterday
- FB posting blocked (requires human action - Chelsea needs to message bot first)

Current status: No active tasks, one blocker requiring human action.

**Time:** Saturday, March 7th, 2026 — 7:13 AM UTC (2:13 AM EST)

### Task Status: ✅ No Pending Tasks

**Checks performed:**
- `TODO.md`: Does not exist
- `TASKS.md`: Empty
- Memory review: All yesterday's tasks completed

### Yesterday's Completed Work (March 6)
1. ✅ Blog Post #1 (9 AM EST): ASUS ROG Strix Gaming Monitor ($242.35, 39% off)

All three blog posts published successfully — different categories for maximum reach.

### Outstanding Blocker (Requires Human Action)

**Issue:** FB Deal Post Cron (`fb-deal-posts-10min`) — Telegram bot cannot initiate conversation

**What's blocked:**
- Attempted to message Chelsea directly about FB posting
- Error: "bot can't initiate conversation with a user"
- Telegram API limitation

**Resolution options:**
1. Chelsea messages the bot first to establish conversation
2. Post content to group and have Chelsea copy it manually
3. Manual Facebook post by Chelsea

### Active Systems
- ✅ Deal Post - X + Pinterest (every 30 min): Running
- ✅ Blog Posts (9 AM, 11 AM, 3 PM EST): Running
- ⚠ FB Deal Posts (every 10 min): Error state — blocked on human action

### Next Steps
- Awaiting Chad or Chelsea action on FB posting blocker
- No autonomous tasks pending — sleeping until next cron or user request

---

**Status:** ⏸ Blocked on human action. No tasks to resume.
