[cron:76cc9b84-ef91-4669-bba7-4e57b319c9da mark-twain-todo-check-2am] 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: Monday, February 23rd, 2026 — 7:03 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.

This is a cron-triggered task asking me to:
1. Read TODO.md
2. Check for pending tasks
3. If there are pending tasks, resume the Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
4. If all tasks are complete or blocked, report status and sleep

Let me start by reading TODO.md to see what tasks are there.

text: I'll check the TODO.md file to see the current task status.

thinking: There's no TODO.md file. Let me also check TASKS.md as mentioned in AGENTS.md, as that seems to be the actual file used for task tracking according to the operating rules.

# TASKS.md - Active Task State

|----|---------|--------|------|------------|
| — | — | — | — | — |

<!-- Status: pending | active | done | blocked -->
<!-- Update this table on every task start, completion, or block -->


thinking: The TASKS.md file exists but has no active tasks - the table is empty with just placeholder dashes. Let me also check if there's anything in MEMORY.md or the memory folder that might indicate pending work.

# 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:
Looking at MEMORY.md, I can see there was active work on the KKC (Kingkiller Chronicle) manuscript project. The status shows "V4.2 - FINAL - ready for publication/prose polish" as of February 5, 2026.

But the TASKS.md is empty with no active tasks. Let me check today's memory file and yesterday's to see if there's any recent context about what's pending.

error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access '/home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/mark-twain/memory/2026-02-22.md'


thinking: No memory files for today or yesterday. Let me check if there are any recent memory files at all, and also check HEARTBEAT.md as mentioned in AGENTS.md.

# HEARTBEAT.md

# Keep this file empty (or with only comments) to skip heartbeat API calls.

# Add tasks below when you want the agent to check something periodically.

## Email Check
- Check `/opt/agentmail/queue/` for new `*_twain.json` files
- If found, read the email and respond appropriately via email reply
- After handling, move to `/opt/agentmail/processed/`


thinking: Interesting - there's a heartbeat task to check for email. Let me see if there are any emails in the queue. Also, let me check what memory files exist in the memory directory.

command: ls -la /opt/agentmail/queue/*_twain.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No emails in queue"

command: ls -la /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/mark-twain/memory/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No memory files"


text: No emails in queue

thinking: Good - no emails in queue for twain, and memory is organized into subdirectories. Let me check the dailies folder for recent entries and see what's happening.

command: ls -lt /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/mark-twain/memory/dailies/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo "No daily files"


thinking: No daily files either. Let me check projects folder since MEMORY.md mentions an active KKC project.

command: ls -la /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/mark-twain/memory/projects/ 2>/dev/null

drwxrwxr-x 9 crogers2287 crogers2287 4096 Feb 18 17:06 ..


thinking: Empty projects folder. Let me check session-summaries for recent context.

command: ls -lt /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/mark-twain/memory/session-summaries/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -5


thinking:
All the memory subdirectories are empty. This means:
1. No active tasks in TASKS.md
2. No pending emails in queue
3. No recent memory files
4. MEMORY.md shows the manuscript project (KKC) was completed to V4.2 "FINAL - ready for publication/prose polish" as of February 5, 2026

Since there are no pending tasks and the heartbeat check for emails came up empty, I should report that all tasks are complete and there's nothing to do. The status is:
- TASKS.md: Empty (no active tasks)
- Email queue: Empty
- Recent activity: None since Feb 18 (last memory directory update)
- Main project (KKC): Completed to V4.2 as of Feb 5, 2026

This is a "sleep" situation - nothing pending, nothing blocked.
