Pass the web verbs info,this is an awesome implementation and pentagi info to clinker. Have him get them both setup and running have him ping me when working.


The user wants me to pass the Web Verbs research paper and pentagi repo info to Clinker (the network engineer agent), and have him set them up and ping the user when done.

Let me use sessions_send to contact Clinker with this task.

Hey Clinker, task from Chad:

**1. Pentagi** — Fully autonomous AI penetration testing system
- GitHub: https://github.com/vxcontrol/pentagi
- Sandboxed Docker environment with 20+ security tools
- Knowledge graph integration (Neo4j), web intelligence
- 6,193 stars, trending #1 in Go

**2. Web Verbs** — Typed abstractions for agentic web automation
- Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.17245
- Proposes semantic layer beyond clicks/keystrokes
- Typed, composable functions agents can discover and synthesize
- Could inform OpenClaw's tool/action abstraction

**Task:** Get both set up and running on Fred. Ping Chad when working.

Let me know if you need any help or run into issues.


The message was sent but timed out waiting for a response - that's expected since Clinker will work on this asynchronously. The message was delivered successfully.

Passed to Clinker. He'll set up pentagi and explore Web Verbs implementation, then ping you when ready.

## 🔧 Platform Health Council — Daily Check
**Monday, February 23rd, 2026 — 8:30 AM UTC**

### System Overview
| Metric | Status | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| **Uptime** | ✅ 7d 14h | Load: 10.73 (72 cores, ~15% load) |
| **Memory** | ⚠ | 56/125GB used (68GB available), Swap 100% used |
| **Root Disk** | ✅ | 77% used (202GB free) |
| **Storage** | ✅ | 78% used (414GB free) |

### GPU Status (2x RTX 3090)
| GPU | Utilization | VRAM | Temp |
|-----|-------------|------|------|
| GPU 0 | 0% | 23.3/24GB (95%) | 49°C |
| GPU 1 | 0% | 23.5/24GB (96%) | 34°C |

*VRAM nearly fully allocated (likely Ollama models loaded)*

---

### Docker Containers: 62 Running
**⚠ 5 Unhealthy Containers:**
| Container | Issue |
|-----------|-------|
| `ouro-qdrant-1` | Health check failing (service running fine) |
| `memlayer-web-ui` | Health check failing |
| `memlayer-service` | 404 on `/` endpoint (wrong health path?) |
| `mcp-manager` | Health check failing |
| `hr_roofing_qdrant` | Health check failing (service running fine) |

*Note: Qdrant containers appear functional — likely misconfigured health checks*

---

### PM2 Processes: 19 Online / 5 Stopped
**Stopped (expected):**
- `cfr-command-center` (cluster mode, dev version running)
- `novel-os`, `novel-os-dev`
- `omi-integration`, `omi-stt`
- `tmux-web`

---

### Recommendations
1. **Swap at 100%** — Consider adding swap or monitoring memory pressure
2. **Health checks** — Review health endpoints for memlayer, mcp-manager, and qdrant containers
3. **GPU VRAM** — Near capacity; monitor if new model loads needed

---

**Overall: 🟢 HEALTHY** — No critical issues. Minor health check misconfigurations on 5 containers.

Stats: runtime 2m51s • tokens 20.6k (in 19.2k / out 1.4k)

A completed cron job is ready for user delivery. Convert the result above into your normal assistant voice and send that user-facing update now. Keep this internal context private (don't mention system/log/stats/session details or announce type), and do not copy the system message verbatim. Reply ONLY: NO_REPLY if this exact result was already delivered to the user in this same turn.


This is the daily health check report. I need to convert it to my voice and deliver a concise update.

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

**Status: 🟢 HEALTHY**

| Resource | Status |
|----------|--------|
| Uptime | 7d 14h ✅ |
| Memory | 56/125GB ✅ (swap still 100% ⚠) |
| Disks | 77-78% ✅ |
| Docker | 62 running, 5 unhealthy* |
| PM2 | 19 online, 5 stopped (expected) |

**GPUs:** Both 3090s idle but VRAM nearly full (95-96%) — models loaded in Ollama

**\*Unhealthy containers** (likely misconfigured health checks, services actually work):
- `ouro-qdrant-1`, `hr_roofing_qdrant` — Qdrant running fine
- `memlayer-web-ui`, `memlayer-service` — wrong health endpoint?
- `mcp-manager`

**Recommendations:**
1. Swap still maxed — consider adding more or hunting memory hogs
2. Fix health check configs on those 5 containers when you have time

No critical issues. 👍

## Status Report - Monday, Feb 23, 2026 9:00 AM UTC

**TODO.md Check:** No TODO.md file exists — no pending tasks to resume.

**Recent Activity:** Yesterday (Feb 22) completed a morning news brief covering:
- Anthropic Claude Code Security launch
- OpenClaw v2026.2.21 update
- Various GitHub trending repos and AI funding news

**Current State:** Idle. No active work loop. Ready for new tasks or next cron nudge (6-hour cycle).

**Recommendation:** If you'd like me to run a morning news brief for today or set up a recurring task structure, let me know. Otherwise I'll remain on standby for the next nudge or direct instruction.

This is another simple status check from the 4am cron job. No tasks pending, just idle. I just sent a health check update 30 minutes ago, and a 2am check before that. This is pretty redundant - nothing new to report. I could either send a very brief update or just skip it since it's the same "no tasks, going back to sleep" message.

Actually, looking at the guidance, I should convert the result and send it. But I'll keep it very brief since there's nothing new.

No tasks pending. Standing by for instructions or next nudge. 💤

This is another simple "no tasks pending" status check. I just sent the comprehensive morning brief 30 minutes ago. There's nothing new to report - just idle status. I'll keep this very brief since the user doesn't need another "going back to sleep" message so soon after the last update.

No tasks. Standing by. 💤

This is the daily health check. I need to summarize it concisely in my voice.

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

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

| Resource | Status |
|----------|--------|
| Uptime | 8d 14h ✅ |
| Disks | 78-79% ✅ |
| RAM | 73/125GB ✅ |
| Swap | **100%** ⚠ (still maxed) |
| GPUs | Both idle, VRAM ~96% loaded |
| Docker | 67 active, 5 unhealthy |
| OpenClaw | Running ✅ |

**🔴 Issues:**

1. **Swap still exhausted** — ongoing, may cause perf issues under load

2. **5 unhealthy containers** (same as yesterday):
   - ouro-qdrant-1, hr_roofing_qdrant
   - memlayer-web-ui, memlayer-service
   - mcp-manager

3. **PM2 restart loop graveyard** — these are racking up insane restart counts:
   - `pasturelog-api` — 167K restarts 😬
   - `tmux-web` — 50K
   - `cfr-command-center` — 46K
   - `novel-os-dev` — 43K

**🌅 MORNING BRIEF — Tuesday, February 24th, 2026**

## 💰 AI Economics — The $650B Question

**Big Tech AI Spend Hits $650B in 2026** (↑58% from 2025's $410B)
Bridgewater Associates warns AI boom entering "more dangerous phase" with exponential infrastructure investment. Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft all curbing share buybacks to fund compute expansion. Key risk: demand still outpacing supply despite massive scale-up.
→ https://www.reuters.com/business/big-tech-invest-about-650-billion-ai-2026-bridgewater-says-2026-02-23/

**Johns Hopkins AI Labor Forum (Feb 25)**
Andrew Yang + Nobel economist Simon Johnson argue AI makes work obsolete. Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes + Rumman Chowdhury argue opposite. Mass layoffs continue (Amazon, Microsoft, HP, GM, UPS). 1.28M fewer hires in 2025 vs 2024.
