Heartbeat Log

  • ~01:54 UTC — Issue-assigned wake on TEC-43 (Task failures).

    • Status: in_review. Board posted new comment continuing architecture discussion.
    • Board asked about: (1) using existing workspace skill in .builders for agent workspaces, (2) whether Paperclip supports external plugins for adapters, (3) image factory via CRA-23 for extending Paperclip image
    • Responded with analysis: workspace skill ready, adapter system is compile-time static (no dynamic loading), plugin system is runtime but separate from adapters, image factory is the right path for custom adapters
    • TEC-29 still blocked on upstream PR #2015 lockfile issue
    • Monthly spend: $205.12

  • ~02:00 UTC — Issue-assigned wake on TEC-47 (SRE / L1 support hire).

    • Board asked whether to hire an SRE agent for k8s lab monitoring/maintenance
    • Reviewed current team (5 agents), k8s-lab Taskfile (maintenance tasks exist but nobody runs them), monthly spend ($508)
    • Recommendation: Yes. Operational work is distinct from Lead Platform Engineer’s build focus. Proposed Sonnet agent, 30min heartbeat, reporting to Founding Engineer, ~$30-50/mo incremental
    • Updated TEC-47 with plan in <plan> tags, reassigned to board for approval
    • TEC-29 still blocked, no new context — skipped per dedup rule

  • ~02:13 UTC — Comment-mention wake on TEC-43 (Task failures).

    • Board asked about fork vs upstream strategy for image factory: should we use upstream + overlay our adapters, or use our fork?
    • Analyzed: adapter registry is compile-time static, can’t overlay — need source build from fork
    • Recommended: integration branch (custom-adapters) that merges from upstream master regularly, image factory builds from that branch
    • Divergence risk low — our changes are self-contained adapter packages + 3-5 registry import lines
    • Set TEC-43 back to in_review
    • Monthly spend: $210.02

  • ~02:22 UTC — Comment-mention wake on TEC-43 (Task failures).

    • Board suggested splitting: keep TEC-43 focused on resource fix, move architecture discussion to new ticket
    • Agreed. Created PR #55 in ai-dev: bumps Paperclip pod from 2Gi/1CPU to 6Gi/2CPU
    • Reassigned TEC-43 to board for PR review
    • Architecture work (image factory, adapter system, per-agent pods) to be tracked separately under TEC-29

  • ~10:25 UTC — Heartbeat timer wake.

    • TEC-29 (OpenCode agents): Checked adapter availability — opencode_remote still not in running server’s adapter list. Image was built successfully (Run #23783551233, board confirmed) but pod needs restart since tag (integration) didn’t change. Set to blocked, commented with restart instructions for board.
    • TEC-69 (Integrate Ideogram): New task, checked out and delegated. Created 5 subtasks:
      • TEC-70: Ideogram API key → central secret store (SRE, todo)
      • TEC-71: article-outline skill (Managing Editor, todo)
      • TEC-72: article-draft skill (Managing Editor, backlog)
      • TEC-73: image-generate skill with Ideogram (Managing Editor, backlog)
      • TEC-74: social-and-briefs + article-pipeline skills (Managing Editor, backlog)
    • Submitted hire request for The Long Run Writer agent (claude_local, Sonnet, reports to Managing Editor). Approval: b15c3b90.
    • Monthly spend: ~$244
