# 2026-05-18

- Processed THR-69 (Purchases P1 #2) through Phase 5: approved, applied, and validated Amazon order_date ISO normalization for 10 rows in purchases.db and the Amazon sync script.
- Backups created: purchases.db.bak-p1-2-date-iso-20260518-082649 and sync_to_grocery_db.py.bak-p1-2-date-iso-20260518-082649.
- Validation passed: sqlite PRAGMA integrity_check ok, Amazon rows now ISO ordered by date, Ralphs and Sprouts spot-checks unchanged, ast.parse ok, sibling Tier 2/3 sync script mtimes unchanged.
- THR-70 browser-control diagnosis on OpenClaw 2026.5.18: `profile="user"` status/doctor checks can report healthy while real actions still fail. After clearing stale attach helpers, the failure shifted from `DevToolsActivePort`/connect errors to a fixed ~300ms attach timeout that persists even when passing `timeoutMs=8000`, which strongly suggests an OpenClaw existing-session attach bug rather than expired Amazon auth.
- Durable operational conclusion from THR-70: `openclaw browser profiles` can show `user` as `running (0 tabs) [existing-session]` even when the attach path is effectively dead; treat that as a false-positive/possibly stale session state until verified by a real browser action.
- THR-70 execution decision: Braden explicitly chose workaround path `option 2` for the Amazon sync contract — use an isolated OpenClaw-managed browser profile to bypass the 2026.5.18 `user` existing-session attach bug instead of spending more time on forensics.
- THR-70 coordination state: the Notion thread and Telegram updates were used to track the workaround handoff, including managed-browser auth readiness and the attach-timeout bug as a Phase 5/governance finding to file alongside THR-69/THR-70 intake-routing capture.
