[cron:875fc87b-d400-4b6b-adc0-9fc15b12cb2b mark-twain-todo-check-4am] 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: Friday, February 27th, 2026 — 9:04 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.

I received a cron nudge to read TODO.md and check for pending tasks. According to my boot sequence, I should:
1. Read USER.md (already loaded in context)
2. Read learnings/LEARNINGS.md
3. Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today + yesterday)
4. Main session only: Read MEMORY.md

The current time is Friday, February 27th, 2026 — 9:04 AM (UTC), so I need to read:
- memory/2026-02-27.md (today)
- memory/2026-02-26.md (yesterday)

Then I need to read TODO.md to check for pending tasks.

Let me start by reading the necessary files.

## [07:09] Full-Context Audit Results Analysis

### Audit Completed
- **File**: `/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/AUDIT_RESULTS.md`
- **Generated**: 2026-02-26T20:48:48
- **Processing time**: 1395.9s (~23 minutes)
- **Manuscript**: 570K tokens

### Result: FAILED - Model Hallucination
The 1M YaRN-scaled context experiment produced severely degraded output:

**Hallucination Patterns:**
1. **False death loop (C011-C033)**: Model claimed Kvothe/Kote/Denna/Bast/Chronicler die and resurrect every other chapter. Clearly interpreting narrative pauses/silence as literal death.
2. **Synonym spam (C034-C083)**: 50 variations of "Chapter 143 duplicate" using different synonyms (Format/Layout/Design/Presentation/Delivery/Distribution/Dissemination/Propagation/Spread/Reach/Impact/Effect/Consequence/Result/Outcome/End/Conclusion/Resolution/Closure/Finish/Termination/Stop/Halt/Pause/Break/Rest/Quiet/Silence/Hush/Stillness/Calm...)

**Legitimate Issues (3-4 total):**
- C001: Tuition contradiction (18 vs 35 talents)
- C002: Simmon death timing (Ch 48 vs alive in 50-51)
- C003: Lackless Box location unclear
- C005: Sword Folly buried (Ch 127) vs on wall (Ch 131)

### Conclusion
YaRN 4x scaling to 1M context is NOT reliable for continuity auditing at 570K tokens. Model coherence collapsed.

### Recommendation
- Re-run audit with smaller chunk sizes (50-100K tokens per chunk)
- Or use API model with native 1M context (Gemini 2.5 Pro)
- Current AUDIT_RESULTS.md is garbage - do not use for revision specs

## [18:10] Full-Context Manuscript Audit Setup

### Goal
Run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B with 1M token context to audit entire KKC manuscript (413K words / ~570K tokens) in a single pass.

### Key Decisions
1. **Use local model over API** - Qwen3.5-35B-A3B Q4_K_M on 2x RTX 3090 (48GB total)
2. **llama.cpp over vLLM** - vLLM not installed, llama.cpp already configured via llama-swap
3. **YaRN scaling required** - Model native context is 262K, extensible to 1M via YaRN rope scaling
4. **Patch source code** - Had to disable hard-coded context capping in llama.cpp

### State Changes
- Killed Python process (PID 2577637) on GPU 0 - freed 12GB VRAM
- Modified `/home/crogers2287/llama-swap/config.yaml`:
  - `--ctx-size 1000000`
  - `--split-mode row` (better than layer for dual-GPU)
  - `--batch-size 512` (reduced from 4096)
  - `--rope-scaling yarn --rope-scale 4 --yarn-orig-ctx 262144`
- Patched `/mnt/storage/llama.cpp-nemotron/tools/server/server-context.cpp`:
  - Commented out `n_ctx_slot = n_ctx_train;` line 740
  - This disabled the hard-cap that was throttling 1M context down to 262K
- Rebuilt llama-server with patch

### Blockers Resolved
1. **VRAM allocation failure** - 1M context + model weights exceeded available memory
   - Fix: Killed competing Python process, reduced batch size
2. **Context capping** - Server hard-coded to cap at training context (262K)
   - Fix: Patched source code, rebuilt binary
3. **API rejection** - `exceed_context_size_error` when sending 570K tokens
   - Fix: YaRN scaling + patched capping logic

### Working Config (Final)
```
--ctx-size 1000000
--split-mode row
--tensor-split 0.5,0.5
--batch-size 512
--ubatch-size 512
--rope-scaling yarn
--rope-scale 4
--yarn-orig-ctx 262144
--flash-attn on
--cont-batching
-ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0
```

### GPU Allocation (Working)
- GPU 0: 20.8 GB used, 3.3 GB free
- GPU 1: 18.2 GB used, 5.9 GB free
- Total: ~39 GB for model + 1M KV cache

### Artifacts Created
- `/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/FULL_CONTEXT_AUDIT_PROMPT.md` - 2.3MB (audit instructions + full manuscript)
- `/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/run_full_audit.py` - Script to send manuscript to model
- `/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/AUDIT_RESULTS.md` - Output (pending)

### References
- Qwen3.5 model card: https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B
- Unsloth guide: https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.5 (confirms YaRN for 1M extension)
- llama.cpp patched: `/mnt/storage/llama.cpp-nemotron/`

## [19:12] Status
- Patched llama-server rebuilt successfully
- Model reloading with uncapped 1M context
- Audit script queued to run
- Expected processing time: 3-5 minutes for 570K token prompt

# 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"

## Phase 1: Structural Foundation - Timeline Synchronization & Magic System Standardization

### 📚 Task Overview
Execute Phase 1: Structural Foundation - Timeline Synchronization & Magic System Standardization

### 🔧 Required Actions
1. **Timeline Synchronization**
   - Analyze existing timeline structures and formats
   - Standardize date/time handling (format, timezone, precision)
   - Identify synchronization points and conflicts
   - Create/update timeline files/structures

2. **Magic System Standardization**
   - Define magic system framework/rules
   - Standardize spell/cast sequence formats
   - Establish consistency across all magical elements
   - Document constraints and limitations

### ❓ Missing Information Needed
To proceed, I need clarification on the following:

#### 1. Timeline Synchronization Details
- What date/time format are we working with?
- What timezone is used?
- Are there existing timeline files or structures to analyze?
- What synchronization requirements/goals exist? (e.g., historical continuity, causal consistency, etc.)

#### 2. Magic System Context
- What type of magic system are we dealing with? (fantasy, sci-fi, metaphorical, etc.)
- What existing magic system structures/files exist?
- What specific standardization tasks need to be performed? (e.g., spell formats, cast sequences, magical rules, etc.)

#### 3. Current Workspace State
- Are there existing files in `/home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/mark-twain/` that need to be analyzed and standardized?
- What is the current structure of timeline and magic system files?

### 🚀 Next Steps
Once I have the necessary information, I'll:
1. Read and analyze existing timeline and magic system files
2. Identify synchronization requirements and standardization needs
3. Execute the appropriate actions to achieve structural foundation
4. Document the results and updates made

### ⚠ BLOCKED - 2026-02-25 09:02 UTC
**Status**: Task requires user clarification before proceeding.

**Analysis**:
- Timeline synchronization appears COMPLETE based on MEMORY.md
  - V4.2 manuscript (413,893 words, 147 chapters) marked as FINAL
  - 8 displaced chapters repositioned (Feb 5, 2026)
  - Full chronological reorder completed
  - 5 bridge chapters written
- Magic system standardization requirements unclear
  - No magic system files identified in workspace
  - No specific standardization tasks defined
  - MEMORY.md doesn't indicate this as incomplete work

**User Decision Needed**:
1. Is there specific magic system work needed beyond V4.2?
2. Are there magic system files that need analysis/standardization?
3. Should this task be marked complete based on V4.2 being FINAL?

Please provide the missing details so I can proceed with Phase 1 execution.

## Task 2: Full-Context Manuscript Audit via Qwen3.5-35B-A3B

### 📚 Task Overview
Run entire KKC manuscript (413K words / ~570K tokens) through local Qwen3.5-35B-A3B model with 1M context for comprehensive continuity audit.

### ✅ Completed Setup (2026-02-26)
- [x] Freed GPU VRAM (killed competing Python process)
- [x] Configured llama-swap for 1M context with YaRN scaling
- [x] Patched llama.cpp source to disable 262K context cap
- [x] Rebuilt llama-server with patch
- [x] Created audit prompt file (2.3MB)
- [x] Created `run_full_audit.py` script

### ❌ FAILED - 2026-02-27 07:09 UTC
**Status**: Audit completed but produced hallucinated garbage.

**Findings**:
- Processing: 1395.9s for 570K tokens ✓
- Output quality: FAILED
  - 22+ false "character death/resurrection" claims (interpreting scene breaks as deaths)
  - 50+ synonym-spam duplicates of same issue
  - Only 3-4 legitimate continuity issues among 80+ "critical" findings

**Root Cause**: YaRN 4x scaling to 1M context causes coherence collapse at 570K tokens.

**Next Options**:
1. Re-run with smaller chunks (50-100K tokens)
2. Use API model with native 1M context (Gemini 2.5 Pro)
3. Accept current AUDIT_RESULTS.md is unusable

### 📁 Artifacts
- `/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/FULL_CONTEXT_AUDIT_PROMPT.md`
- `/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/run_full_audit.py`
- `/home/crogers2287/Canonforge/novel-os/data/projects/kkc/AUDIT_RESULTS.md` (pending)

### ⚙ Technical Notes
- Model: Qwen3.5-35B-A3B Q4_K_M (4-bit quantization)
- Context: 1,000,000 tokens via YaRN 4x scaling
- Hardware: 2x RTX 3090 (48GB total), ~39GB used
- Expected processing: 3-5 minutes for full manuscript


thinking:
I've read all the necessary files. Let me summarize:

**Current State:**
- Two tasks in TASKS.md, both BLOCKED
- Task 1: Phase 1 Structural Foundation - blocked awaiting user clarification (timeline work appears complete per V4.2, magic system requirements unclear)
- Task 2: Full-Context Manuscript Audit - blocked because the 1M YaRN-scaled audit failed (model hallucinated)

**Memory Logs:**
- 2026-02-27: Audit results analysis showed the YaRN 4x scaling produced garbage output
- 2026-02-26: Full setup for the audit was completed

**Current time:** Friday, February 27th, 2026 — 9:04 AM (UTC)

Both tasks are blocked. Task 1 needs user clarification. Task 2's audit failed and needs either a different approach (chunked processing, API model with native 1M context, etc.).

I should report this status to Chad - both tasks blocked, no pending work that can proceed without user input.

## Mark Twain Status Report — Feb 27, 2026 09:04 UTC

### Task State: Both Blocked

**Task 1: Phase 1 Structural Foundation**
- Status: **BLOCKED** — awaiting user clarification
- Timeline synchronization appears complete (V4.2 marked FINAL)
- Magic system standardization requirements undefined
- Need Chad to confirm: is there magic system work needed, or should this close?

**Task 2: Full-Context Manuscript Audit**
- Status: **BLOCKED** — audit failed
- The 1M YaRN-scaled Qwen3.5-35B produced hallucinated garbage:
  - 22+ false "death/resurrection" claims
  - 50+ synonym-spam duplicates
  - Only 3-4 legitimate issues among 80+ findings
- AUDIT_RESULTS.md is unusable

**Options for Task 2:**
1. Re-run with smaller chunks (50-100K tokens per pass)
2. Use API model with native 1M context (Gemini 2.5 Pro)
3. Discard and proceed with V4.2 as-is (already reviewed/approved)

### Recommendation
Both tasks require Chad's input before proceeding. No autonomous work possible.

**Suggested message to Chad:** "Both active tasks are blocked. Task 1 needs clarification on magic system scope. Task 2's audit failed — do you want me to retry with chunked approach, switch to Gemini API, or proceed with V4.2 as final?"
