2026-04-28 — Market Briefing Fix + Wadsworth Deepseek Failure

Morning Market Brief — Did Not Fire at Correct Time

  • User reported market brief triggered at 3:00 AM instead of 8:00 AM CT
  • Root cause: System crontab interprets times in UTC, not the commented timezone
  • Fix: Converted crontab entries to UTC times:
  • AM brief: 0 13 UTC = 8:00 AM CT (CDT)
  • PM brief: 0 20 UTC = 3:00 PM CT (CDT)
  • Note: Will need adjustment when CST begins (shift to 0 14 and 0 21 UTC)
  • File: workspace/services/icarus/jobs/daily_briefing.py

TurboOCR Assessment (User Request)

  • Assessed https://github.com/aiptimizer/TurboOCR for Icarus image pipeline
  • Verdict: Not a fit for Phase 3. Impressive speed (270 img/s) but maintenance burden too high
  • C++ / CUDA / TensorRT stack violates "optimize for maintenance, not compute" principle
  • Zero semantic understanding — still need LLM parser, adds hop
  • Current hybrid approach (pdfplumber + qwen3-vl) sufficient for volume
  • Revisit if: >100 docs/day, form extraction hard requirement, or dedicated infra person
  • Full assessment: shared/project-docs/assessment-turboocr.md

Wadsworth Stuck in Deepseek-v4-pro Death Spiral

  • Session 93c4fa9b-4fed-499c-80be-dee064c54a70 — 4 consecutive 503 errors from deepseek-v4-pro:cloud
  • Auto-failover to phi4:14b → 400 error (model doesn't support tools)
  • Double-failure cascade: overloaded primary + incompatible fallback
  • This is the exact pattern from agent health playbook — auto-failover causes identity loss
  • Fix applied: Removed deepseek-v4-pro from Wadsworth model chain, set kimi-k2.5:cloud as primary
  • Also removed phi4:14b from all fallback chains (doesn't support tool calling)
  • Wadsworth config updated in ~/.openclaw/agents/main/model-config.json
  • Pending: User to run openclaw sessions kill 93c4fa9b-4fed-499c-80be-dee064c54a70 and openclaw agent reset

Config Changes Made

  • model-config.json (Wadsworth): Switched to kimi-k2.5:cloud primary, kimi-k2.5:26b fallback
  • model-config.json (Socrates): Removed phi4:14b from fallback chain
  • model-config.json (all agents): Removed phi4:14b (no tool support)

Open Items

  • [ ] Verify next market brief fires at correct time (tomorrow 8 AM CT)
  • [ ] Monitor if deepseek-v4-pro stabilizes before re-adding
  • [ ] Consider migrating all model configs to managed file (not inline in config)
  • [ ] Document phi4:14b as unsuitable for any agent requiring tool calling

Files Modified

  • /tmp/crontab.txt (market briefing UTC times)
  • ~/.openclaw/agents/main/model-config.json
  • ~/.openclaw/agents/socrates/model-config.json
  • shared/project-docs/assessment-turboocr.md
