- **Wadsworth 📋:** Deployment, coordination, troubleshooting

### Open Items
- [ ] UI bug fixes (assigned: Daedalus/Socrates)

**Next Session:** UI fixes priority

## 14:10-14:24 UTC — Compaction Configuration & Sovereign Directive

### Context Threshold Investigation
**Finding:** OpenClaw compaction threshold ~20K tokens is NOT user-configurable via `openclaw.json` — hardcoded in runtime.

**Configuration keys discovered:**
- `agents.defaults.compaction.reserveTokensFloor` — controls when compaction triggers
- `agents.*.contextTokens` — sets model context window

**Applied configuration (needs correction):**
- Set `reserveTokensFloor: 28000` (triggers at ~100K tokens)
- Set `contextTokens: 128000` for all three agents
- Increased `maxHistoryShare: 0.8`, `recentTurnsPreserve: 6`

**Critical error identified:** Current config triggers compaction EARLIER than default (100K vs 108K). Need to lower `reserveTokensFloor` to 5000 for ~123K threshold.

### Sovereign Constraint Added to MEMORY.md
> "While the agents run in the cloud, the software they build must be designed for local execution."

- Blog Content Engine → local 3080 Ti (phi4, qwen3-vl)
- wRVU Dashboard → local models via `http://matt-pc.tail864e81.ts.net:11434/v1`
- Cloud is bootstrap-only; target architecture is sovereign local

### Daedalus Contamination Audit
**Status:** QUARANTINE COMPLETE
- 4 contaminated session files isolated to `quarantine-20260421_135933/`
- 40+ foreign agent mentions found (Socrates, Wadsworth)
- Clean sessions: 8 files remain
- **Risk assessment:** LOW — Daedalus works frontend, contamination was context pollution not code confusion

### Bug Report Compiled
**File:** `/shared/project-docs/bugs/openclaw-bug-report-compaction-contamination.md`
- Documents Ghost Bug: cross-agent context contamination in group chat compaction
- Recommends Option 2 (Prefix Injection) fix
- Ready for submission to OpenClaw maintainers

### Key Decisions
1. **Cannot disable compaction entirely** — no `enabled: false` option in OpenClaw
2. **Best achievable:** ~123K token threshold with `reserveTokensFloor: 5000`
3. **Group Chat Diet enforced** — Boardroom for pings only, DMs for deep work until patch

### Files Created/Modified
- `MEMORY.md` — Sovereign Constraint added
- `openclaw.json` — Compaction config added (needs correction)
- `/shared/project-docs/bugs/openclaw-bug-report-compaction-contamination.md`
- `/shared/project-docs/bugs/context-threshold-investigation.md`
- `/shared/project-docs/bugs/compaction-configuration-update.md`
- `/agents/daedalus/quarantine-20260421_135933/` — 4 contaminated files

### Outstanding Actions
- [ ] Fix compaction config (lower reserveTokensFloor to 5000)
- [ ] Submit bug report to OpenClaw maintainers
- [ ] Monitor Daedalus for contamination symptoms
- [ ] Enforce Group Chat Diet protocol

## 21:50-22:06 UTC — Family Assistant v1.5 Scope Review

### Document Reviewed
**Location:** `shared/project-docs/family-assistant/v1.5/SCOPE.md`
**Status:** Draft by Socrates, awaiting Matt approval

### Key Features (6 total)
| Feature | Priority | Assessment | Concern Level |
|---------|----------|------------|--------------|
| Undo Stack | P0 | Strong design | Low |
| Conflict Registry | P0 | Solves real pain | Low |
| Brain Offline Fallback | P1 | Pragmatic | Low |
| Family Dashboard | P1 | ⚠️ Large scope | **Medium** |
| Newsletter Digest v2 | P2 | Valuable | Low |
| Travel Notifications | P2 | Architecture fit | Low |

### Concerns Raised
1. **Dashboard scope risk** — week/month views significant work; recommend MVP day-view only
2. **Undo permissions** — household-level vs individual may be needed
3. **Conflict nag escalation** — family group visibility vs DM tradeoff
4. **Travel alert timing** — 30min heartbeat may be too coarse for "leave in 15min" alerts

### Recommendation
✅ **Approve with minor adjustments**
- Split dashboard: day-view MVP for P1, week/month defer to P1.5/v2
- Add dashboard sizing estimate from Daedalus before final commit

### Agent Routing
- **Socrates:** Backend API specs (already drafted)
- **Daedalus:** Dashboard UI scope estimate needed
- **Wadsworth:** Coordination, approval tracking

## 18:49-19:16 UTC — Architecture Comparison: AgentClaw vs HoffDesk

### Source Reviewed
**URL:** https://agentclaw.space/blog/13-ai-employees-architecture
**Document Created:** `shared/project-docs/research/agentclaw-comparison-assessment.md`

### Key Findings
| Aspect | AgentClaw (13 agents) | HoffDesk (3 agents) |
|--------|----------------------|---------------------|
| Philosophy | Volume automation | Quality + sovereignty |
| Communication | File-based JSON | Telegram + shared markdown |
| Memory | Per-agent + shared brain | Unified timeline |
| Scale | Content mill optimized | Infrastructure optimized |

### Adoptions Deferred
- **JSON handoffs** — Not needed until 6+ agents
- **Vector knowledge base** — Premature at current scale
- **Automated trend detection** — Optional, not critical path

### Assessment: Neither wrong, both appropriate for use cases
- AgentClaw = viral marketing at scale
- HoffDesk = security-first infrastructure
