### What We Built

A comprehensive Next.js 14 dashboard for project management and system monitoring.

**Features:**
- **Project Management** — Cards with status (Planning, In Progress, Completed), Kanban task boards
- **Status Widgets** — OpenClaw gateway, Home Assistant, Discord bot, GLaDOS MCP, cron jobs
- **Quick Actions** — Buttons for common operations

- **Dark Mission Control Theme** — Professional UI, responsive layout

**Tech Stack:**
- Next.js 14+ with App Router
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
- Real-time data polling

### Real-Time Features Added

1. **Gateway Status API** (`/api/gateway`)
   - Live OpenClaw status via `openclaw gateway status`
   - Actual version, uptime, last heartbeat
   - Updates every 30 seconds

2. **Cron Job API** (`/api/cron`)
   - Lists all cron jobs
   - Shows last run, next scheduled run
   - Visual status indicators (✅ ⏸️ 🔄)
   - Color coding for stale/failed jobs

3. **Supermemory Backup Status**
   - Real last backup time
   - Next scheduled run
   - Success/failure status

### GLaDOS Voice Control Integration

**API Endpoints:**
- `GET /api/projects` — List projects
- `POST /api/projects` — Create project
- `PUT /api/projects/[id]` — Update project
- `POST /api/projects/[id]/tasks` — Add task
- `PUT /api/projects/[id]/tasks/[taskId]` — Update task

**MCP Tools Added** (`openclaw_mcp_server.py`):

## Morning News Brief Template Fix

**Time:** 2026-02-17 18:35-19:00
**Issue:** News brief was inconsistent — content too long, getting truncated, jumbled formatting

**Root Cause:**
- No length constraints in prompt
- No format specifications for bullet style
- Agent was including images/thumbnails
- Content exceeded Discord 1500 char limit

**Fix Applied:**
Updated cron job `Daily News Brief` with strict constraints:

```
CRITICAL RULES:
1. NO images, NO thumbnails, NO embeds — text and links only
2. Use bullet character: • (not - or *)
3. Use em-dash: — (not - or --)
4. 2-3 items per section MAX
5. One sentence summaries only
6. Total under 1500 characters
7. Format: • [Headline Text](https://url.com/) — One sentence.
```

**Template Locked:**
```
# 📰 Morning News Brief — [Month Day, Year]

🏎️ Formula 1
• [Headline](URL) — One sentence.

🤖 AI/LLM
• [Headline](URL) — One sentence.

🏠 Self-Hosting
• [Headline](URL) — One sentence.
```

**Test Result:** ✅ Successfully generated clean brief at 19:00 with proper formatting

**Status:** Ready for tomorrow's 8 AM run

## Mission Control V2 (Neural) ✅ IN PROGRESS

**Started:** 2026-02-17 20:00
**Location:** `C:\web\htdocs\mission-control-v2`
**URL:** http://localhost:3000

### Concept
Neural network/dashboard aesthetic — brain/synapse visualization with:
- Dark void backgrounds
- Electric cyan/purple/pink synapse colors
- Glowing nodes and animated connections
- Sci-fi "Neural Links" and "Neural Flow" naming

### Components Built

**1. Floating Orbital Navigation** (`neural-nav.tsx`)
- 3 floating circular nodes on right side
- Pulse animation on hover
- Labels: Pulse (Overview) | Network (Projects) | Flow (Tasks)
- No tabs — radial menu concept

**2. Status Nodes** (`status-nodes.tsx`)
- 3 cards: Gateway | Synapses (Cron) | Memory
- Fetches real data from V1 API endpoints
- Live gateway status from `openclaw gateway status`
- Real cron job schedules from `/api/cron`
- Auto-refresh every 30 seconds
- Loading states and error handling

**3. Neural Links** (`projects-constellation.tsx`)
- Row-based project list (constellation concept simplified)
- Status dots (active=pulse, complete=steady, paused=amber)
- Progress bars
- Hover glow effects

**4. Neural Flow** (`task-flow.tsx`)
- 3-column layout: DORMANT | FIRING | COMPLETE
- Simple task rows
- Animated spinners for "firing" tasks
- Checkmarks for completed
- Works well on mobile (stacks to single column)

### Design System
- **Colors:** Dark purple void, electric cyan, neural pink, synapse green
- **Effects:** Glowing borders, pulse animations, gradient transitions
- **Typography:** Inter with tech/sci-fi labels
- **Mobile:** Responsive — stacks elegantly

### Current Status
| Component | Status | Data |
|-----------|--------|------|
| Navigation | ✅ Working | Static |
| Gateway | ✅ Working | Real API |
| Cron/Synapses | ✅ Working | Real API |
| Memory | 🔄 Static | Needs Supermemory API |
| Projects | ✅ Working | Static (6 projects) |
| Tasks | ✅ Working | Static (9 tasks) |

### Next Steps
- Wire Memory block to real Supermemory data
- Make Quick Actions buttons functional
- Add API endpoints for project/task CRUD
- Voice control integration with GLaDOS

## Mission Control V3 - Python ✅ COMPLETE

**Built:** 2026-02-17 20:00-21:20
**Location:** `C:\web\htdocs\mission-control-py`
**URL:** http://localhost:5050

### Why Python Not Node.js
**Corey Rule #1: Don't build in languages you can't debug.**

After wrestling with Next.js JSX errors, build failures, and CORS issues, switched to Python/Flask.

**Python advantages:**
- Direct `subprocess.run()` calls — no CORS
- No build step — save file, reload, done
- Jinja2 templates — simple HTML
- Single codebase
- Corey can actually read and fix the code

### Tech Stack
- Flask 3.0
- Jinja2 templates
- Pure CSS (no build)
- Real-time status via subprocess

### Features
- **System Pulse** — Real gateway status, cron jobs, memory sync
- **Neural Links** — 6 projects with progress bars
- **Neural Flow** — DORMANT/FIRING/COMPLETE task columns
- **Auto-refresh** — 30 second page reload
- **Port 5050** (Frigate-safe)
