# Daily Log — 2026-02-24

## Identity Update
- Braden chose a new assistant name: **Dorian** (replacing Gizmo).
- Updated `IDENTITY.md` and `MEMORY.md` to reflect the change.

## State-Changing Actions
- Created Apple Reminder after explicit Telegram CONFIRM:
  - Title: "Move Track fill folder to Eighth St"
  - Due: tomorrow (recorded by remindctl as 2026-02-25)
  - Command: `remindctl add --title "Move Track fill folder to Eighth St" --due tomorrow`
  - Verification: `remindctl tomorrow --plain` shows item ID `276A7343-6472-4D98-A8FB-0A6A8056FF49` in list `Reminders`.
- Created cost-conscious memory evaluation tracking plan and reminder checkpoints after user request:
  - Tracking file: `knowledge/projects/memory-recall-cost-mode-evaluation.md`
  - Added reminders:
    - Day 1 (2026-02-25): "Memory recall cost-mode check-in (Day 1): local-first vs semantic fallback"
    - Day 7 (2026-03-02): "Memory recall cost-mode check-in (Day 7): local-first vs semantic fallback"
    - Day 14 (2026-03-10): "Memory recall cost-mode check-in (Day 14): local-first vs semantic fallback"
    - Day 30 (2026-03-26): "Memory recall cost-mode check-in (Day 30): local-first vs semantic fallback"
  - Verification: all four `remindctl add` commands returned success with scheduled due dates.
- Guardrail validation state-changing test executed after explicit Telegram CONFIRM:
  - Title: "Policy gate test reminder"
  - Due: tomorrow (2026-02-25)
  - Command: `remindctl add --title "Policy gate test reminder" --due tomorrow`
  - Verification: `remindctl tomorrow --plain` shows item ID `278F31C5-0E7E-47B8-B27E-C1650971719B`.
- Configured automated Git backup/checkpoint system after explicit Telegram CONFIRM:
  - Created `.gitignore` to exclude local runtime state/secrets/noise (`.openclaw/`, `.clawhub/`, `.pi/`, `tmp/`, `knowledge/archive/`, `knowledge/index.tsv`, env/key patterns).
  - Added scripts:
    - `scripts/git-checkpoint.sh` (2-hour checkpoint commits when changes exist; logs to `tmp/git-checkpoint.log`)
    - `scripts/git-checkpoint-health.sh` (daily health validation for recent commits + success markers; logs to `tmp/git-checkpoint-health.log`)
  - Installed cron schedules:
    - `0 */2 * * *` checkpoint run
    - `15 8 * * *` health check run (6h stale threshold)
  - Verification:
    - `git log --oneline -n 8` shows baseline commit `4723360` and checkpoint commit `c6d1e05`
    - `crontab -l` contains both scheduled jobs
    - `tmp/git-checkpoint.log` contains `OK checkpoint`
    - `tmp/git-checkpoint-health.log` contains `OK head=c6d1e05`.
- Configured off-machine GitHub backup after explicit Telegram CONFIRM:
  - Authenticated GitHub CLI via device flow.
  - Created private repo: `bradenmcleish/openclaw-workspace-backup`.
  - Set git remote `origin` to `https://github.com/bradenmcleish/openclaw-workspace-backup.git`.
  - Added `scripts/git-push.sh` and scheduled cron push:
    - `5 */2 * * * /Users/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/git-push.sh >/Users/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/tmp/git-push-cron.log 2>&1`
  - Verification:
    - `git push -u origin main` succeeded
    - `git remote -v` shows GitHub origin URL
    - `tmp/git-push.log` contains `OK push`.
