# Daily Note — 2026-05-31 ## Key Events - ## Decisions - ## Promotions (to durable knowledge) - ## Open Loops - ## Candidate Promotions (auto) - ## Candidate Promotions (auto) _Generated: 2026-05-31 02:00:04 PDT_ ### From memory/* (today + yesterday) - 1:- 2026-05-30 14:57 PDT: THR-70 Ralph-harness Build Phase 3 proceeded under Braden confirmation with no bootstrap. Updated `~/.openclaw/ralph/thr-70/tasks.md` to explicitly enumerate all six phase values; patched `ralph.sh` so `` halts immediately; restored and upgraded `~/.openclaw/ralph/staged/ralph-watchdog.py` with deterministic self-tests for progress/stall/stuck/failure-spike/escalation/usage/restart-cap branches; extended `validate-evidence.py` with deterministic good/bad self-tests and residual checking; added `verify-phase4-dryrun.sh`; upgraded the Notion mirror script to PATCH the THR-70 page; installed final non-bootstrapped files at `~/.openclaw/ralph/ralph-watchdog.py`, `~/.openclaw/ralph/ralph-thr70-mirror.sh`, `~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.ralph-watchdog.plist`, `~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.ralph-mirror-thr70.plist`; created `~/.openclaw/ralph/active/thr-70` symlink. Verified both plists lint clean, are not loaded in `launchctl list`, and dry-run checks pass. Fresh Amazon managed-profile reauth / live smoke verification remains pending before any `ralph.sh` run. - 2:- 2026-05-30 15:44 PDT: Confirmed authoritative Notion page `RALPH-GOVERNANCE.md` (page `366f8b3ef83d81f9b205d908666853d7`) matches THR-70 Appendix D on the Framework A Layer 4 matrix. Tightened `verify-phase4-dryrun.sh` output so the ACK gate now reports explicit line items `3a` through `3e`: six-state ledger coverage, full watchdog matrix self-test, validator good/bad dry-run, no-LLM hot-path grep assertion, and outputs/completion-sigil checks. - 3:- 2026-05-30 15:20 PDT: Pre-compaction capture for THR-70: the earlier Phase 3 interruption was recovered by restoring `ralph-watchdog.py`; Build Phase 3 remains intentionally non-bootstrapped and non-deployed. Durable gate state: no `launchctl bootstrap` was performed, no LaunchAgent was loaded, and no live `ralph.sh` smoke run should occur until Amazon managed-profile auth is re-verified fresh and the manual bootstrap decision is handled separately after Build Phase 4 validation. - 6:- 2026-05-30 17:38 PDT: THR-70 watchdog governance decision: bundle Patches 1 + 2 + 3 in one watchdog patch round to align the live script with `RALPH-GOVERNANCE.md`. Patch 1 is mandatory: alert-send path must use the C380.R message pattern `--channel telegram --target -m ` rather than the obsolete flags currently in `ralph-watchdog.py`. - 7:- 2026-05-30 17:38 PDT: THR-70 LaunchAgent/runtime precedent decision: watchdog escalation sends should use the SS.1 / C380.R `.env`-sourcing wrapper pattern rather than inventing a new launchd environment strategy. The earlier substrate failure moved from missing `openclaw`/`node` resolution to a CLI-shape bug, confirming env sourcing is the right base pattern. - 13:- 2026-05-30 23:39 PDT: THR-70 patch-scope decision for the resumed Phase 2 path: any fix for budget semantics must patch every surface that compares ambient absolute daily usage (`day_pct` or analogous absolute measurements) against a per-run ceiling such as `USAGE_WINDOW_BUDGET_PCT`; fixing only the main watchdog loop is insufficient because helper/ambient-budget paths can still trigger unexplained escalations mid-run. ### Open corrections - 2026-03-02 — Telegram routing: use only current DM thread; never legacy Gizmo thread. ## Pending Promotion Status (auto) - Open pending promotions: 7 - Conversation intent status: OPEN (resolve or dismiss pending items before closure) ## Critical Facts Retrieval Check (auto) # Critical Facts Check - [PASS] telegram_single_thread_rule: Telegram must use only current DM thread; no legacy Gizmo thread. - [PASS] telegram_confirm_policy: Non-reminder/non-memory-ingestion state changes require CONFIRM (with explicit Notion single-task exception). - [PASS] timezone_set: Braden timezone is captured. Summary: 3/3 passed
