+## Compaction Bug Discovered & Root Cause Found
+
+**Issue:** Auto-compaction appearing broken - sessions not compacting properly
+**Investigation:** Found GitHub issue #7477 confirming known bug with `safeguard` compaction mode
+**Root Cause:** Default `safeguard` mode silently fails at ~180k tokens, producing "Summary unavailable due to context limits" instead of proper AI-generated summaries
+**Impact:** Context loss without warning, broken memory management
+
+**Fix Required (config change):**
+```json
+"compaction": {
+  "mode": "default",
+  "reserveTokensFloor": 40000,
+  "memoryFlush": {
+    "enabled": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Workaround pending admin approval to modify openclaw.json

+## Job Verifier Bug (Ongoing)
+
+**Issue:** Daily Job Verifier reports "Daily News Brief FAILED" with "no run history found"
+**Root Cause:** Job Verifier cron uses wrong job ID: `3cf50074-8736-623e-ac41-6e6fb807bfee` (623e) instead of actual ID `3cf50074-8736-423e-ac41-6e6fb807bfee` (423e)
+**Impact:** False positive warning every morning at 9 AM
+**Status:** News brief actually runs successfully at 8 AM - just ID mismatch in verifier config
+
+---
+
+## System Status (Overnight Jobs)
+
+All automated jobs running successfully:
+- 2:00 AM - Supermemory Backup ✅
+- 3:00 AM - Daily Cron Cleanup ✅  
+- 3:03 AM - Memory Worker Daily ✅ (9 items extracted)
+- 8:00 AM - Daily News Brief ✅
+- 9:00 AM - Job Verifier ✅ (with false positive)
+
+---
+
+## Log Errors (Non-Critical)
+
+- **Rocketchat plugin ID mismatch** - Config uses "openclaw-rocketchat", manifest uses "rocketchat" - harmless warning
+- **Discord channel 404** - One deleted channel still in config
+
+None affect system operation.
+
+---
+
+## Actions Needed
+
+1. Fix compaction config (mode: default, reserveTokensFloor: 40000)
+2. Fix Job Verifier cron job ID (623e → 423e)
+3. Clean up rocketchat plugin config entry
+4. Remove stale Discord channel from config
