[cron:5c61a9d3-b434-47e1-8b59-a240864d9e79 mark-twain-todo-check-6am] Cron nudge: Read TODO.md. If there are pending tasks, resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop. If all tasks are complete or blocked, report status and sleep.
Current time: Sunday, March 8th, 2026 — 10:01 AM (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.

The user is sending me a cron job nudge about checking TODO.md. Let me break down what I need to do:

1. Read TODO.md to see what tasks are pending
2. If there are pending tasks, resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
3. If all tasks are complete or blocked, report status and sleep
4. Return my summary as plain text (it will be delivered automatically)
5. Note: if a task calls for messaging an external recipient, note who/where instead of sending it

Let me start by reading TODO.md.

Actually, wait - I need to follow the Boot Sequence from AGENTS.md:
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`

Then read TODO.md for the cron task.

Let me start with the boot sequence files.

Current date is March 8th, 2026, so I should read:
- memory/2026-03-08.md (today)
- memory/2026-03-07.md (yesterday)

Let me read these files first.

# MEMORY.md - Long-Term Memory

_Curated learnings about the author's style, manuscripts, and recurring patterns._

## Global Tools
- **Whisper Transcribe**: `fred:/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/tools/whisper_transcribe.py`
  - Uses `faster-whisper` (CPU, int8) — CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" to avoid cuDNN crashes
  - Usage: `scp audio to fred:/tmp/ && ssh fred "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES='' python3 /home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/tools/whisper_transcribe.py /tmp/audio.ogg"`
  - Models: tiny, base (default), small, medium, large-v3
  - Supports: ogg, mp3, wav, m4a, flac, webm

## Setup
- Created 2026-02-04
- Author: Chad Rogers
- Role: Manuscript Architect & Integrity Engine

## Active Project: KKC (Doors of Stone)
- Canonical manuscript: `fred:data/projects/kkc/manuscript_CANONICAL_20260204.md`
- **476K words, 165 chapters** (001-174 with 6 gaps: 140, 141, 160, 164, 165, 173)
- Git branch: `canonical-assembly-twain`
- NotebookLM version (356K, 131 chapters) is OLDER - not canonical
- Chapter numbering differs between versions - all revision specs must use CANONICAL numbers

## Key Chapter References (CANONICAL - CORRECTED)
- Simmon dies: Ch **138** "Simmon's End" (NOT Ch 43 - file had wrong header)
- Door Opening: Ch 131 "Breaking the Seal" (Ch 133 duplicate ARCHIVED)
- Cinder reveal: Ch 100 "The Patron's Face" (SOFTENED - now suspicion not certainty)
- Kingkilling: Ch 150 "The Phantom Warning"
- Final: Ch 174 "The Silence of Things Unspoken"
- Stub: Ch 22 "The Shape of Stories" (238 words)
- Simmon alive at Ch 108 & 135 is CORRECT - before death at 138

## Pipeline Problem (Root Cause)
- Chad's workflow: Gemini 3.0 Pro audit → REVISION_SPEC → Claude Code edits
- Specs fail because they reference chapter numbers from the WRONG version
- Each new audit creates a new spec without verifying old fixes landed
- 12+ orphaned revision specs on Fred, all with wrong chapter citations

## Revision Build - February 5, 2026 (Round 1)
- Reassembled from fred: /home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/chapters/
- **451K words, 156 chapters** (down from 484K/167 - removed 9 dupes, merged 2, reordered 8)
- Timeline paradox fixed: 8 displaced chapters repositioned (88,86,90,93,100,105,110,120)
- Duplicates removed: 64,69,84,87,89,91,103 (round 1) + 123,126 (round 2)
- Fixes applied: money contradiction (Ch 18), Simmon frame (Ch 1), Auri fate (Ch 174), Kingkilling clarity (Ch 1/150/151)
- Gemini audit reviewed - agreed on specific fixes, rejected "cut 60 chapters" nuclear option

## Revision Build - February 5, 2026 (Round 2 - Full Reorder)
- **411,487 words, 143 chapters** (down from 451K/156 - removed 18 dupes + full chronological reorder + 5 bridges)
- Canonical: fred:.../chapters_reordered/ | Compiled: artifacts/MANUSCRIPT_LATEST.md
- Backup: chapters_backup_20260205_0531.tar.gz | Original chapters/ untouched
- Duplicates archived (Round 3): 040,042,047,059,061,071,073,078,088,103,111,114,119,126,127,136,139
- Major chronological fixes:
  - Four-Plate Door arc (old 115-120) → new positions 45-48 (moved 70 positions earlier)
  - Ch 090 "A Song of Secrets" → new position 27 (Denna/key scene during University)
  - 3 FRAME chapters (086,100,113) extracted from flashback → final frame sequence (129,130,135)
  - Jakis imprisonment (old 134) → new position 59 (before Renere, not after)
  - Kingkilling consolidated: new positions 103-108 (Ch 137 "The Slippage" = the deed at pos 108)
  - Loss-of-abilities arc: new positions 115-119 (after trauma, before transformation)
- 5 bridge chapters WRITTEN and deployed (~6,700 words):
  - Bridge 1 "The Key to Valaritas" (044B) - Lackless Box → Door opening motivation
  - Bridge 2 "The Weight of Opening" (048B) - Simmon's death → departure (adapted Auri/Elodin from sideways/interlude_ch102.md)
  - Bridge 3 "The Door Is Open" (060B) - Jakis cell escape via Denna's message
  - Bridge 4 "The Crown That Melts" (108B) - Immediate post-kingkilling seconds
  - Bridge 5 "The Selas Grove" (112B) - Denna's burial → first steps toward exile
- Sideways content reviewed: sideways/ directory on fred has 20+ files of worldbuilding interludes (Ruh persecution, economic ripples, Arrowcatch fallout, institutional responses) - available for future expansion
- Tools deployed to fred: dedup_chapters.py, reorder_chapters.py, compile_manuscript_v4.py, audit_chapters.py
- Tools saved locally: C:\projects\mark-twain\tools\
- Full chapter ledger (JSON): C:\projects\mark-twain\manuscript\ledger\ (8 files, chapters 001-156)

## Kingkilling Method - CANONICAL RULE
- Kvothe kills King Roderic via **thermal slippage** (binding/stolen heat/melting crown) - NOT with Caesura/sword
- Ch 108 "The Slippage" = the deed itself
- Ch 114 line 59 was FIXED: removed "edge of Caesura" → replaced with thermal slippage language
- Denna's death: lung-bloom → mercy draught → selas grove burial (Ch 110-113). Definitive, no ambiguity.

## Canonical Manuscript - V4.2 (as of 2026-02-05)
- **V4.2 (CURRENT)**: 413,893 words, 147 chapters, SHA256: 780f36590e52d110
  - Local: `C:\projects\mark-twain\manuscript\MANUSCRIPT_V4.2.md`
  - Status: FINAL - ready for publication/prose polish
- **V4.1 Review Verdict**: BOTH reviewers passed - "GO FOR LINE EDITS" / "READY FOR PUBLICATION / FINAL POLISH"


thinking: Good, I've read the boot sequence files. Now let me read TODO.md to see what tasks are pending.

# TODO.md - Active Tasks

## 2026-03-03 07:15 UTC - TASKS RESOLVED

**Status**: Task 1 COMPLETE | Task 2 AWAITING USER DECISION

### Task 1: Phase 1 - Structural Foundation
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**
- V4.2 confirmed FINAL
- Timeline synchronization: COMPLETE
- Magic system standardization: COMPLETE (done as part of structural foundation)

### Task 2: Full-Context Manuscript Audit
**Status**: ⏸ **AWAITING USER DECISION**

**Options**:
1. **Smaller chunks** (50-100K tokens): Local, cheap, but slow and still error-prone
2. **Gemini 2.5 Pro API** (1M context): Native long context, higher accuracy, but costs money
3. **Abandon**: V4.2 is FINAL — if it passed reviewers, do you really need another audit?

**Recommendation**: If V4.2 is good enough for publication, skip the audit. If you want to catch remaining issues before prose polish, use Gemini 2.5 Pro.

---

**Next Action**: Waiting for user decision on Task 2.


thinking:
Based on TODO.md, the status is:
- Task 1: COMPLETE (Phase 1 - Structural Foundation)
- Task 2: AWAITING USER DECISION (Full-Context Manuscript Audit)

All tasks are either complete or blocked (awaiting user decision). According to the cron nudge instructions, I should:
1. Report status
2. Sleep (NO_REPLY)

Let me provide a clear status report for Chad.

text:
**STATUS REPORT — March 8, 2026 10:01 AM UTC**

**Task 1**: ✅ COMPLETE
- Phase 1 Structural Foundation: V4.2 confirmed FINAL
- Timeline synchronization: COMPLETE
- Magic system standardization: COMPLETE

**Task 2**: ⏸ BLOCKED (Awaiting user decision)
- Full-Context Manuscript Audit is on hold pending your choice:
  1. Smaller chunks (local, cheap, slower)
  2. Gemini 2.5 Pro API (1M context, higher accuracy, costs money)
  3. Abandon (V4.2 passed both reviewers — proceed to prose polish)

**Recommendation from TODO**: If V4.2 is good enough for publication, skip the audit. If you want remaining issues caught before prose polish, use Gemini 2.5 Pro.

**Next**: Your decision required on Task 2. No action until you specify path forward.
