## Daily News Briefing Cron - FIXED

**Issue:** Morning briefing wasn't posting to Discord despite cron firing.

**Root Cause:** The AI generated text but never called the `message` tool to actually send it.

**Solution:** Updated prompt to explicitly instruct using `web_search` and then `message` tool.

**Working Prompt:**
```
Generate a morning news briefing covering: 1) Formula 1 updates, 2) LLM/AI industry news, 
3) Self-hosting/homelab news. Use web_search to find current news, then use the `message` 
tool to send the finished briefing to Discord channel 1471156195233628394 with action=send.
IMPORTANT: Include direct URLs/links to each article/source mentioned. Format with markdown 
links like [title](url).
```

**Job Details:**
- **ID:** `008d21d9-05ee-4aca-97af-646d150e2c6b`
- **Schedule:** Daily at 8:00 AM (America/Chicago)
- **Target:** #news-brief channel (1471156195233628394)
- **Format:** Markdown with clickable links for every article

**Example Format:**
```
# 📰 Morning News Briefing — Feb 12, 2026

## 🏎️ Formula 1
- [Article Title](https://url) — Description

## 🤖 AI/LLM Industry
- [Article Title](https://url) — Description

## 🏠 Self-Hosting
- [Article Title](https://url) — Description
```

**Key Requirements:**
- Must include `web_search` in the task (so it actually searches)
- Must explicitly say "use the `message` tool" (or delivery won't happen)
- Must specify channel ID and action=send
- Links must be in markdown format

## Status Update

**Services Running:**
- ✅ Frigate NVR - 4 cameras streaming (Kitchen, Livingroom, Front_DUO2, Back)
- ✅ Nextcloud - accessible via http://aiagents:8081
- ✅ Dashboard - at http://aiagents/dashboard/
- ✅ Supermemory backup cron - runs daily at 2 AM

**Thermal Management:**
- Nextcloud removed from startup (CPU spike causes GPU thermal issues)
- Frigate running solo keeps temps stable
- Both services work fine when started manually, just not together at boot

## Files Created

- `dashboard/index.html` - Daily briefing web UI
- `dashboard/assets/style.css` - Brutalist dark theme
- `dashboard/assets/app.js` - Live detections, weather widget
- `dashboard/api/detections.php` - CORS proxy for Frigate API
- Copied to: `C:\web\htdocs\dashboard\`

## Discord #home-assistant Channel Issue

**Problem:** Model returning empty responses (`"content": []`) in #home-assistant only — #projects and #general worked fine.

**Initial Diagnosis:** Session had accumulated 197K tokens, thought it was a context limit issue.

**Attempted Fix:** Ran `/compact` — reduced context to 0K, but empty responses persisted.

**Root Cause:** Session corruption — model calls were succeeding but returning no content. Same model works in other channels.

**Attempted Resolution:** Suggested `/terminate` in the channel to force fresh session creation.

**Session Details:**
- Session: `agent:main:discord:channel:1466074219829006599`
- Session ID: `c9046c92-269c-4626-bc95-d341231bda5d`
- Model: `kimi-k2.5:cloud` (same as working channels)

---

## Notes

- Dashboard uses `aiagents` hostname for all internal links (Tailscale-friendly)
- Frigate detections update every 10s via PHP proxy
- News briefing fires at 8 AM daily
- Supermemory backup runs at 2 AM daily

## Afternoon Session (#home-assistant)

### Session Corruption - RESOLVED
**What happened:** Model started returning empty responses (`[]`) in #home-assistant channel.
**Fix:** Deleted corrupted session, switched back to `kimi-k2.5:cloud` (was temporarily on `qwen3-coder-next:cloud`).
**Result:** Session now clean at ~63K tokens.

### Workspace Context Architecture - CREATED
**New file:** `workspace-context.md` — daily session state that persists between channels.

**Structure:**
- **Current Conversation** — active project right now
- **In Progress** — unfinished projects
- **Planning** — ideas discussed but not started
- **Finished Today** — done projects waiting for MEMORY.md migration
- **Channel History** — timestamp log for continuity

**Key insight:** This survives session crashes, provides continuity when switching channels, and gets cleared daily with an EOD ritual.

**Updated:** `AGENTS.md` now loads `workspace-context.md` on every session, plus EOD consolidation ritual.

### Workspace Cleanup - DONE
**Problem:** Root directory was cluttered with temp files and one-off scripts.
**Actions:**
- Created `scripts/` folder — moved 8 helper scripts
- Created `temp/` folder — archived transcript files (~600KB)
- Deleted ~3MB of temp JSON dumps and session files
- Updated `TOOLS.md` with organization scheme

**Result:** Root down from ~3.5MB to ~45KB of actual documents.

## Decisions Made
1. `workspace-context.md` is temporary state — gets cleared daily, survives session crashes
2. End-of-day ritual: migrate "Finished" → MEMORY.md, clear file for tomorrow
3. Folder structure: `scripts/` for helpers, `temp/` for downloads/transcripts
