[cron:1c3bffe5-1732-416d-8e4a-b33e7619e23c ghc-marketing-heartbeat-30m-qwen] Run heartbeat check (read HEARTBEAT.md). If actionable tasks are found, execute them. If nothing to do, reply with NO_REPLY. Do NOT say HEARTBEAT_OK.
Current time: Saturday, March 7th, 2026 — 7:50 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.

thinking:
I need to follow the boot sequence first as per AGENTS.md, then read HEARTBEAT.md to see what tasks need to be done. Let me start with the boot sequence.

According to AGENTS.md, I need to:
1. Read `USER.md` → who you are 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 heartbeat, so I should prioritize reading HEARTBEAT.md first to see what needs to be done.

Current date is Saturday, March 7th, 2026, so I need to read:
- memory/2026-03-07.md (today)
- memory/2026-03-06.md (yesterday)

Let me start by reading HEARTBEAT.md, then the memory files.

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 need to check the HEARTBEAT.md task: Check `/opt/agentmail/queue/` for new `*_ghc.json` files.

Let me check that directory.

exec

command: ls -la /opt/agentmail/queue/ 2>/dev/null | grep -E "ghc\.json$" || echo "No GHC emails in queue"


toolName: exec

text: No GHC emails in queue

status: completed

aggregated: No GHC emails in queue


thinking:
No emails to process. Let me also check if there are any other pending tasks or anything that needs attention. Looking at the memory files:

1. Memory from 2026-03-07 shows blog posts 1 and 2 completed, but I don't see Blog Post #3 (3 PM EST / 20:00 UTC) logged yet. Current time is 19:50 UTC, so that cron should run in about 10 minutes.

2. The FB deal post blocker is still outstanding (Chelsea needs to message bot first).

3. All automated systems appear to be running.

Since there are no emails to process and no actionable tasks (the blog post cron will auto-run), I should reply with NO_REPLY as instructed.

stopReason: stop
