This is a cron job firing at 11:03 AM UTC on Tuesday, February 24th, 2026. The job is asking me to check TODO.md and resume work on pending tasks.

Following AGENTS.md boot sequence:
1. Read USER.md

3. Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today + yesterday)
4. Read MEMORY.md (main session only)

Then check TODO.md and proceed with tasks or report status.

Let me start with the boot sequence.

## 🚨 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
```

<!-- Status: pending | active | done | blocked -->
<!-- Update this table on every task start, completion, or block -->


thinking:
All tasks in TASKS.md show as "done". The cron job is asking me to check for pending tasks and either:
1. Resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop if there are pending tasks
2. Report status and sleep if all tasks are complete or blocked

Since all tasks are marked "done" and there are no "pending" or "blocked" tasks, I should report status and indicate that everything is current.

Let me also check the active cron jobs to see what's scheduled. From MEMORY.md I can see there are blog post jobs scheduled at 9 AM EST, 11 AM EST, and 3 PM EST. There's also a deal posting job every 30 minutes.

Current time is 11:03 AM UTC (6:03 AM EST), so the next blog post would be at 9 AM EST (2 PM UTC).

I should report that all tasks are complete and the system is waiting for the next scheduled event.
