Current time: Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 — 10:20 AM (UTC)


Let me check the recent memory files to understand what was already sent, then gather fresh news.

The previous pulse was at 10:00 AM UTC (5:00 AM EST). I need to check if that pulse completed and what URLs were logged. Looking at the conversation, the 10:00 AM pulse was working but the user sent another message (10:20 AM) before it completed. Let me check the memory files to see what's there.

Let me read the memory files to understand what has been reported.

Good. The 10:00 AM UTC pulse started but doesn't appear to have completed (no memory file for it). So I need to:
1. Use all the URLs already sent (from 0320 and 0440 pulses) to avoid duplicates
2. The 10:00 AM pulse was in the middle of gathering news but never sent - that's fine, I'll start fresh

From the 10:00 AM pulse research (which never completed), I found these potential stories:
- China AI: Alibaba Qwen 3.5 launch (CNBC) - agent-focused, multimodal, 60% cheaper

- Ukraine: Day 2 Geneva talks, US envoy says "meaningful progress" (Reuters/Kyiv Independent)
- Conduent data breach: 25M Americans affected (HIPAA Journal)
- MIT ancient microbes oxygen 500M years early (ScienceDaily)
- Markets: S&P futures +0.5-0.6%, DoorDash/eBay/Analog Devices earnings today, Walmart tomorrow
- Treasury yields nudging higher ahead of Fed minutes

I've already covered SpaceX Starship V3, EU DSA Shein, Meta + Nvidia deal, and AI advertising, so I'll skip those.

Looking at what came through from the 0320 pulse—GitHub trending repos, Socket PHP security issue, Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6, Pentagon vs Anthropic, Gemini 3 Deep Think, Ukraine Geneva talks from Guardian, Bangladesh PM Tarique, Japan Takaichi, stock stabilization at +0.1%, Bitcoin at $67,341, Saturn rings, and Artem—most of these have already been flagged.

From the earlier pulses I covered India AI Summit, US-Iran nuclear talks, GitHub OSS Fund, the OSS registries crisis, AI agents reputation farming, US steel tariffs, crypto slides before the Fed, the "buy the dip" narrative fading, and the NASA/Vast ISS mission with microgravity viruses.

Now looking at the 10:00 AM search results, Alibaba's Qwen 3.5 is a fresh story worth covering—it's an agent AI with multimodal capabilities at 60% cheaper pricing. Ukraine Geneva Day 2 is showing up again with "meaningful progress" from the US envoy, but since we already covered it from the Guardian in the 0320 pulse, this is more of an update on the same topic rather than a new story. I'm checking the guidelines again—it says no more than 2 items per topic within a single briefing, and we've already covered Ukraine talks twice, so I'll skip this one to maintain variety. Moving on to evaluate the other candidates: the Conduent data breach is a solid tech/security story, the MIT microbes piece offers good science coverage, and I'm looking at several market-related items including earnings updates and treasury yields, plus the China AI developments with ByteDance and DeepSeek.

From my earlier searches, I've also noted some security stories like the CVE vulnerability and the projected 2026 CVE count, along with an AI industry piece about CEO concerns. I have a strong foundation here, so I'm going to search for a few more specific items to round out the briefing—something more targeted in tech, a global politics angle outside Ukraine, and maybe another health or science story to give it better balance.

10. SCIENCE: ???

I need to fill in the gaps with stories from Latin America, Asia outside of China's AI space, US domestic policy, and Africa. Let me search for what's developing in those regions, plus find another science or tech story to round out the list.

No memory file for the 10:00 AM pulse (it wasn't completed). I have solid research from that run — need a few more targeted searches to fill gaps:

Now I have solid material for all categories. Let me compile the final 10-item briefing:

**TECH (2):**
1. **Conduent data breach 25M Americans** — (HIPAA Journal) — 2024 breach at government payment processor now confirmed at 25M+ affected individuals; Texas AG investigating — this is a major, fresh story
2. **Hackerstorm: 2026 on track for record 59,427 CVEs** — (openpr.com) — cybersecurity vulnerability forecast

Actually #2 is a forecast/report, not a breaking news story. Let me use something more concrete.

For TECH, I need to find a second item that's more newsworthy than the NanaZip release or the thin CVE details I have. The GitHub Secure Fund was already in a previous pulse, so that won't work either. I'm looking for something with actual substance in the software or tech space that's current and concrete. I'm settling on the Conduent breach and the record CVE forecast as my two tech stories—the CVE count is more compelling than NanaZip anyway. Now I'm moving into the AI section.

I've got two China-focused AI stories: Alibaba's Qwen 3.5 with its agent capabilities and cheaper pricing, and the broader Lunar New Year AI race with ByteDance, DeepSeek, and others all launching simultaneously. They're related geographically but distinct enough—one's a specific product launch, the other's about the competitive landscape—so I'll keep both without hitting the same-topic limit.

For the global section, Trump's State of the Union on February 24th is solid. The DHS shutdown story is on my filter list for over-reporting, so I'm skipping that. I need to find another global story to round out this section instead of retreading Ukraine coverage. I'm considering a few global angles—maybe the DRC ceasefire situation, or something from the Asia-Pacific region like developments in the Philippines Sea or Taiwan Strait—and I should do a quick search to find the strongest fresh story to round out the lineup.

Good research base — need one more targeted search for a fresh global story:

The increasingly unstable situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has occupied politicians and diplomats in recent days, both at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa (February 14–15, 2026) and the parallel Munich Security Conference. President Felix Tshisekedi sent his foreign minister, Therese Kayikwamba Wagner, to Munich. In an exclusive interview with DW, she affirmed her government intends to honor the ceasefire agreement scheduled for February 18: "We must do everything to keep the weapons silent."

The AU, working alongside the East African Community and the Southern African Development Community, is pressing for an immediate and lasting ceasefire. Eight agreements reached through the Doha and Washington tracks provide a framework, he said, but implementation and compliance by all armed actors remain essential. The Commissioner urged all parties, including the M23, to halt fighting and engage in an inclusive inter-Congolese dialogue. Ending civilian suffering and rebuilding trust between stakeholders, he noted, are central to achieving durable peace. Eastern DRC remains at the forefront of the AU's peace agenda under its wider goal of silencing the guns across the continent.

Current time: Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 — 10:40 AM (UTC)


Multiple cron pulses are firing in quick succession (10:00, 10:20, 10:40 AM UTC). The previous two (10:00 and 10:20) were mid-execution when new ones fired. I need to check memory, see what was sent, and compile a fresh briefing.

The most recent memory file is 2026-02-18-0440-news-pulse.md. The 10:00 AM and 10:20 AM pulses were never completed (no memory files created for them). I have research from both those sessions that I can use.

Let me quickly check memory and compile the briefing using what I already know from the research done in the 10:00 and 10:20 sessions.

I've got four fresh stories from that research: a major Conduent data breach affecting 25 million Americans, a projection of record CVEs for 2026, Alibaba's new Qwen 3.5 agent-first AI model, and China's Lunar New Year AI push with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0.

Then there's Trump's State of the Union scheduled for February 24th, a DRC ceasefire attempt on February 18th though M23 rebels aren't on board, some market movement with S&P futures up and earnings coming from major retailers, Treasury yields climbing ahead of Fed minutes, a discovery about ancient microbes using oxygen half a billion years early, and a male birth control breakthrough involving a molecular switch mechanism.

Now I'm cross-checking these against what's already in memory to make sure there's no duplication. Checking these four items against what's already been covered—none of them appear in the existing list, so they're all clear. The DRC ceasefire is the actual news breaking today, even though the article mentions Munich in passing as context. I'm also noticing the China AI and Lunar New Year stories are overlapping, so I need to be careful about duplication there. Current time is 10:40 AM UTC, which is 5:40 AM EST.

Now I'm ready to send this through the Telegram bot with the credentials I have on hand.

Checking memory quickly then firing — the 10:00 and 10:20 AM pulses both collected research but never completed. I'll compile from that gathered data now:

ls /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/magoo/memory/ | sort -r | head -5 && echo "---" && grep "^-.*http" /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/magoo/memory/2026-02-18-0440-news-pulse.md | wc -l

Good - most recent file is 2026-02-18-0440-news-pulse.md with 10 URLs. The 10:00 AM and 10:20 AM pulses collected research but never sent/saved. I have all I need from previous research. Let me build and send the briefing now.

I'll use the 10 stories I identified from the research done in those two incomplete sessions:

1. TECH: Conduent data breach 25M Americans (HIPAA Journal)
2. TECH: Record 59,427 CVEs projected 2026 (openpr.com/Hackerstorm)

3. AI: Alibaba Qwen 3.5 agent-first AI (CNBC)

7. MARKETS: S&P futures +0.5-0.6%, DoorDash/eBay earnings today, Walmart tomorrow (Yahoo Finance)
8. MARKETS: Treasury yields edge higher ahead of Fed decisions (Yahoo Finance)

Now I'm rounding out the briefing with the remaining two stories to complete the 10-story lineup.

9. SCIENCE: MIT ancient microbes used oxygen 500M years before Great Oxidation Event (ScienceDaily)
10. SCIENCE: Male birth control breakthrough — molecular switch in sperm energy (Michigan State/ScienceDaily)

All verified and fresh, ready to send.

Good — latest memory is 0440. The 10:00 and 10:20 AM runs collected research but never sent. I have 10 verified fresh stories from that research. Sending now:

[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] **Magoo News Pulse — DIVERSE BRIEFING PROTOCOL**

**REQUIREMENTS:**
- 10-12 items minimum

- Global Politics (2-3 items) — US, Europe, Asia, conflicts, policy
- Markets/Crypto (2 items) — stocks, Fed, crypto, earnings

Current time: Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 — 11:20 AM (UTC)


Let me check the memory files to get all used URLs, then search for fresh news across all categories.

exec

ls /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/magoo/memory/ | sort -r | head -6 && echo "===" && for f in 2026-02-18-1040-news-pulse.md 2026-02-18-0440-news-pulse.md 2026-02-18-0320-news-pulse.md; do grep "^-.*http" /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/magoo/memory/$f | sed 's/- //' | awk -F' —' '{print $1}'; done


Good, I have a clear list of all used URLs. Now let me search for fresh news across all categories. The current time is 11:20 AM UTC = 6:20 AM EST.

Topics/stories already covered that I should avoid re-reporting:
- GitHub Trending repos (InvisPose, Letta, Rowboat)
- Socket PHP security
- Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6
- Pentagon vs Anthropic
- Gemini 3 Deep Think
- Ukraine Geneva talks (Day 1/2)
- Bangladesh PM

I'm scanning for genuinely fresh stories across all categories for this morning's pulse. The FOMC minutes won't drop until 2PM ET, and the DRC ceasefire was already covered, so I need to dig deeper for what's actually new today.

32 used URLs logged. Now searching all categories for fresh content — 40 min since last pulse:
