The user is asking me to continue. Looking at the context, I was processing a cron job "todo-check-2am" that completed successfully. The result shows no pending tasks, everything is operational, and the system is sleeping until the next task.

I need to convert this to my normal assistant voice and send a user-facing update. Since there's nothing actionable and no new information, I should keep it brief - just a simple "no tasks, standing by" message.

The system message appears twice (duplicate), but I should only send one response.

Result:
## 🔧 Platform Health Council — Daily Check
**Wednesday, February 25th, 2026 — 8:30 AM UTC**

---

### ✅ Overall Status: **OPERATIONAL** (with warnings)

---

### 🖥 System Overview

| Metric | Value | Status |
|--------|-------|--------|
| **Uptime** | 9 days, 14 hours | ✅ Stable |
| **Load Average** | 6.06 (36 cores) | ✅ Normal (~17% utilization) |
| **Root Disk** | 79% used (187GB free) | ⚠ Monitor |
| **Storage (/mnt)** | 78% used (414GB free) | ✅ OK |

---

### 💾 Memory Status

| Type | Used | Available | Status |
|------|------|-----------|--------|
| **RAM** | 75GB / 125GB | 50GB free | ✅ OK |
| **Swap** | 8.0GB / 8.0GB | 100KB free | 🔴 **EXHAUSTED** |

**⚠ Critical:** Swap has been at 100% for 5+ consecutive days. System is under sustained memory pressure.

---

### 🎮 GPU Status (2x RTX 3090)

| GPU | VRAM Used | VRAM Total | Temp | Utilization |
|-----|-----------|------------|------|-------------|
| GPU 0 | 22.1 GB | 24 GB | 47°C | 0% (idle) |
| GPU 1 | 17.8 GB | 24 GB | 33°C | 0% (idle) |

✅ GPUs healthy with models loaded in VRAM

---

### 🐳 Docker Containers

| Status | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Running (healthy) | 60+ |
| Up 2+ days | Most core services |
| Unhealthy | 5 (ongoing issue) |

**Healthy Core Services:** ollama, qdrant, searxng, postgres, redis, filebrowser, adguardhome, postiz

---

### 📡 OpenClaw Platform

| Component | Status |
|-----------|--------|
| **Gateway** | ✅ Running (port 18789) |
| **Config** | ✅ Valid (v2026.2.17) |
| **Cron Jobs** | ✅ 70 scheduled |
| **Active Sessions** | 2 |
| **Paired Nodes** | 2 (Desktop2025, ESP32 — both offline) |
| **Telegram** | ✅ Connected (11 accounts) |
| **Memory Backend** | ✅ QMD operational |

---

### 📊 5-Day Trend Analysis

| Metric | Feb 21 | Feb 25 | Change |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| Disk / | 73% | 79% | +6% ⚠ |
| Swap | 100% | 100% | No change 🔴 |
| RAM | 76GB | 75GB | -1GB ✅ |
| Uptime | 6d | 9d | +3 days ✅ |

---

### 🚨 Action Items

**Critical:**
1. **Swap exhaustion** — 100% full for 5+ days. Consider:
   - Adding more swap space
   - Identifying memory-heavy processes
   - Restarting memory-leaking services

**High Priority:**
2. **Disk growth** — Root partition grew 6% in 4 days. Monitor logs/temp files.

**Medium Priority:**
3. **5 unhealthy Docker containers** — (ouro-qdrant, memlayer-*, mcp-manager, hr_roofing_qdrant)
4. **PM2 crash loops** — Multiple services with excessive restart counts (pasturelog-api: 167K restarts)

---

### 📝 Summary

The OpenClaw platform on **fred** is operational with all core services healthy. The primary concern is **sustained swap exhaustion** which has persisted for over 5 days without resolution. While the system remains stable thanks to ample RAM (50GB available), the swap pressure indicates underlying memory management issues that should be addressed to prevent future performance degradation.

**Next check:** Thursday, February 26th, 2026 — 8:30 AM UTC

The user is asking me to continue where I left off. The cron job completed successfully and I need to convert the result into my normal assistant voice and send a user-facing update. This is a daily health check report from the Platform Health Council.

Let me summarize the key points in my voice:
- Overall operational with warnings
- Swap still at 100% for 5+ days - critical
- Disk grew 6% in 4 days
- 5 unhealthy containers (same ones as before)
- PM2 crash loops continuing
- Core services healthy
- OpenClaw platform running fine

I should deliver this concisely in my voice.

**🔧 Fred Health Check — Wednesday 8:30 AM UTC**

**Status: 🟢 OPERATIONAL** (with warnings)

| Resource | Status |
|----------|--------|
| Uptime | 9d 14h ✅ |
| Disks | 78-79% (disk grew +6% in 4 days ⚠) |
| RAM | 75/125GB ✅ (50GB free) |
| **Swap** | **100%** 🔴 — **5+ days straight** |
| GPUs | Both idle, VRAM loaded ✅ |
| Docker | 60+ healthy, 5 unhealthy |
| OpenClaw | Running ✅ — 70 cron jobs, 11 Telegram accounts |

**🔴 Critical:**
- **Swap exhausted for 5+ days** — need to either add more swap, find the memory hog, or restart leaky services

**⚠ Watch:**
- Root disk grew 6% in 4 days — logs/tmp files accumulating?
- Same 5 unhealthy containers (ouro-qdrant, memlayer stack, mcp-manager, hr_roofing_qdrant)
- PM2 graveyard: `pasturelog-api` at 167K restarts 😬

**Core services all healthy:** ollama, qdrant, searxng, postgres, redis, filebrowser, adguardhome, postiz

Want me to hunt down what's eating swap, or nuke those failed PM2 services?

The user wants me to continue where I left off. The previous model attempt failed or timed out, so I need to respond to the cron job notification about the todo-check-4am task.

Looking at the system message, it's a simple status check showing no pending tasks. I just sent a health check 30 minutes ago, so this is just a "no tasks, going back to sleep" message. I should keep it brief.
