Date: 2026-03-26 (session 122)
Who worked: Founder + Codex
What was done:
- Completed the Sessions 1-3 onboarding/provisioning slice and ran full pre-merge gates on branch codex/onboarding-draft-launch-s1-s3.

- Shipped and merged PR #51 to main:
  - merge commit: aacf8ec
  - PR URL: https://github.com/Analog-Labs/pixelport-launchpad/pull/51
- Ran live production canary sequence for the Session 1-3 flow.
- First canary (board3@ziffyhomes.com) surfaced two real production failures:
  - POST /api/tenants and POST /api/tenants/launch returning FUNCTION_INVOCATION_FAILED
  - company step create failing on null mission payload validation
- Applied hotfix loop directly on main (founder-approved policy), with full local gates before each push:
  - 05aec88 — fix(api): use api-local tenant status helper in server routes
  - 67dee55 — fix(onboarding): avoid null mission fields during draft create
  - both hotfixes passed npx tsc --noEmit, npm test, and post-push CI on main
- Second canary (board2@ziffyhomes.com) passed end-to-end:
  - draft creation on company step confirmed
  - step order confirmed: Company -> Strategy -> Task -> Launch
  - autosave state confirmed across transitions
  - launch moved tenant draft -> provisioning -> active
  - post-launch onboarding was read-only summary (no back edits while provisioning)
  - dashboard redirect succeeded with truthful backend status
- Pass evidence from successful canary:
  - tenant id: b7fd5e72-8bf3-4ed8-ab6f-44f4037f439e
  - slug: ziffy-board2-s13-20260326-0437
  - droplet id/ip: 560925152 / 192.34.63.216
  - POST /api/tenants/launch duplicate check returned idempotent success (200, idempotent=true) once tenant was active
What's next:
- Start Session 4 only (Workspace Compiler V2 + OpenClaw Config) under the strict session stop rule.
- Use board1@ziffyhomes.com as the next live canary account when Session 4 reaches production test gate.
Blockers: None for Sessions 1-3 closure. Session 4 work is pending start.

Who worked: Founder + Codex
What was done:
- Founder approved R3 direction to continue with the gateway-token launch path (workspace_launch_url) as the compatibility standard.
- Started branch codex/p6-r3-paperclip-v2026-318-0 from main after R2 closure merge (#20).
- Executed R3 canary-first rollout:
  - canary 1 tenant pixelport-dry-run-mmwx4yez (1f4f4302-fb2a-4157-adef-db8e1f13aa7c) reached active on droplet 559343510 (104.248.60.33) using image 221188460
  - health passed (/health live) and Playwright confirmed auto-login launch URL lands on /chat?session=main with title OpenClaw Control
  - created snapshot action 3097765317 -> managed image 221189855 (pixelport-paperclip-golden-2026-03-19-paperclip-v2026-318-0-r3)
  - promoted production selector to PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE=221189855 and kept PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=true; redeployed production alias
  - canary 2 tenant pixelport-dry-run-mmwxefq8 (e4564033-d5fd-4d14-8f7b-d708024fdc89) reached active on droplet 559344696 (104.248.228.181) with image-truth 221189855
  - canary 2 auto-login proof matched canary 1 (/chat?session=main, title OpenClaw Control)

- Completed R2 rollout gate in production:
  - created compatibility bootstrap canary tenant pixelport-dry-run-mmwvc1iw (7de82d7c-f8fc-4233-a088-b3d3b1f9b329), droplet 559334599 (192.34.60.236), reached active, gateway health ok/live
  - created managed snapshot from canary droplet:
    - action 3097711410 -> completed
    - image 221188460 (pixelport-paperclip-golden-2026-03-19-openclaw-2026-3-13-1-r2)
  - updated production envs:
    - PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE=221188460
    - PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=true
  - redeployed production:
    - https://pixelport-launchpad-qqjlyrm61-sanchalrs-projects.vercel.app
    - alias https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app
  - ran strict managed-only canary tenant pixelport-dry-run-mmwvp6kd (66e86eb8-41d7-46bd-a1f0-c9dbcb088720), droplet 559336547 (161.35.10.166)
    - reached active, gateway health ok/live
    - droplet image truth matched promoted snapshot id (221188460)
- Cleanup proof:
  - cleanup=true removed both canary tenants
  - droplet deletes reported 2/2
  - direct DO checks for 559334599 and 559336547 returned 404
- Captured local fail-safe artifacts under:
  - /Users/sanchal/pixelport-artifacts/golden-image-backups/
- Added R2 rollout closure evidence:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-19-p6-r2-managed-image-rollout-closure.md
What's next:
- Finalize R2 closure commit with updated manifest/default selector references and planning docs.
- Start R3 branch for Paperclip v2026.318.0 compatibility-only upgrade and canary plan.
Blockers: No active blocker for R2. Runtime SSH verification is still unavailable with current key mapping, but canary image-truth and gateway health gates passed.

Who worked: Founder + Codex
What was done:
- Confirmed local main includes PR #17 merge commit eebb5e4.
- Executed D5 production canary and diagnosed provisioning failure path from Inngest logs:
  - create-droplet failed with HTTP 422 / unprocessable_entity / Image is not available (legacy image id context).
- Applied and validated production provisioning compatibility envs in Vercel:
  - PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE=ubuntu-24-04-x64
  - PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=false
- Redeployed production and reran canary successfully:
  - tenant 6775e14a-116b-4071-a31c-08ca8cf4064b
  - slug pixelport-canary-canary-mmwqge5d
  - droplet 559309477 (137.184.142.40)
  - handoff 200, launch auth gateway-token, workspace_launch_url returned
- Verified auto-login and assistant response via Playwright:
  - tokenized launch URL lands on /chat?session=main (no login form)
  - chat prompt Reply with exactly: PIXELPORT_LAUNCH_CANARY_OK received assistant reply PIXELPORT_LAUNCH_CANARY_OK
- Added D5 evidence doc:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-18-p6-d5-production-canary-proof.md
- Deleted canary droplet using the current production DO_API_TOKEN path and verified removal:
  - delete request returned 204
  - follow-up GET /v2/droplets/559309477 returned 404 not_found
- Marked D5 complete in:
  - docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md
What's next:
- Founder manually deletes canary droplet 559309477 per security policy.
- Proceed to P6 Track A3 cleanup, then Track B integration mapping/execution.
Blockers: No launch-critical blocker remains for D5; flow is passing in production under the current compatibility image mode.
Date: 2026-03-18 (session 107)
Who worked: Founder + Codex
What was done:
- Founder confirmed DO_API_TOKEN was rotated in Vercel to the new PixelPort droplet space and should be the active provisioning/deletion token baseline going forward (including delete scope expectations).
- Updated active planning and ownership docs so all agents operate under the new DigitalOcean token baseline:
  - docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md
  - docs/paperclip-fork-bootstrap-ownership.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-18-p6-do-token-rotation-baseline.md
- Checked PR #17 merge readiness:
  - status checks are green (validate, Analyze (javascript-typescript), Vercel)
  - merge is still blocked by required review (REVIEW_REQUIRED)
What's next:
- Merge decision on PR #17 (wait for CTO approval vs founder-authorized admin override).
- After merge: run D5 production canary (signup -> onboarding -> provision -> launch -> auto-login -> agent responds) and include DO delete-flow evidence where possible.
Blockers: PR #17 merge is currently blocked on required review.
Date: 2026-03-18 (session 106)
Who worked: Founder + Codex
What was done:
- Founder approved D4 option 1 break-glass path.
- Implemented and committed 74a2f37 on codex/p6-e2e-handoff-golden-image-scan-hardening:
  - provisioning now enables gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth=true by default (temporary launch-critical unblock)
  - added env override OPENCLAW_CONTROL_UI_DISABLE_DEVICE_AUTH to disable the break-glass behavior later without code changes
  - added/updated provisioning tests for default-on + override-off behavior and cloud-init emission
- Validation:
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass)
  - npm test (pass, 19 files / 88 tests)
- Ran live canary proof on 157.230.10.108:
  - applied option-1 control-ui flag under token auth mode
  - validated control-ui WS connect over HTTPS with token and no device identity returns hello-ok
  - confirms pairing blocker is cleared for this flow
- Updated plan/evidence docs:
  - docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-18-p6-runtime-ingress-https-resolution.md
What's next:
- Push session 106 commit set and proceed to D5:
  - merge PR #17
  - monitor deploy
  - run full production canary (signup -> onboarding -> provision -> launch -> auto-login -> agent responds)
Blockers: D4 blocker is closed under founder-approved option 1. D5 is pending merge/deploy execution.
Date: 2026-03-18 (session 105)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Continued P6 D4 implementation on branch codex/p6-e2e-handoff-golden-image-scan-hardening.
- Added and pushed commit 0c60680:
  - per-tenant HTTPS runtime URL resolver precedence in handoff contract (onboarding_data runtime URL -> tenant base domain -> droplet IP fallback)
  - provisioning runtime ingress plan/resolution + persisted runtime metadata in onboarding_data
  - cloud-init Caddy HTTPS ingress setup for runtime hosts
  - test coverage for resolver/runtime ingress behavior
- Updated PR #17 with the new commit:
  - https://github.com/Analog-Labs/pixelport-launchpad/pull/17
- Validation for this slice:
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass)
  - npm test (pass, 19 files / 86 tests)
- Ran live canary auth-mode research on 157.230.10.108 to evaluate pairing unblock behavior:
  - verified trusted-proxy + Caddy header path can establish successful Control UI WS hello-ok
  - immediately rolled the canary back to prior config (gateway.auth.mode=token, default Caddy reverse proxy)
- Added QA evidence:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-18-p6-runtime-ingress-https-resolution.md
What's next:
- Founder approval on the D4 auth-mode path to clear first-time remote pairing for public runtime domains.
- After D4 decision is implemented, finish D5 (#17 merge/deploy + full signup->launch->agent-response canary proof).
Blockers: D5 remains blocked until D4 auth-mode decision is finalized for public HTTPS runtime hosts.

- Merged approved PR #15 to main second:
  - PR: https://github.com/Analog-Labs/pixelport-launchpad/pull/15
  - merge commit: ae082eb
  - merge method: --admin override (head not up-to-date after #14, merge order preserved)
- Confirmed required merge-commit checks:
  - #14:

    - Analyze (javascript-typescript) -> pass (https://github.com/Analog-Labs/pixelport-launchpad/actions/runs/23241732780)
- Observed Vercel deployment failure on both merge commits:
  - 9fe9ac7 -> Vercel status failure (https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/project-configuration)
  - ae082eb -> Vercel status failure (https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/8ciZaPmC9HjoV8C7SKE3bb3oD9H5)
- Identified root cause via Vercel deployment API inspect:
  - vercel.json schema validation error: ignoreCommand exceeds Vercel 256-character limit.
  - This also reproduced on follow-up docs commit deployment (d6f5885).
- Ran targeted production smoke on https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app (guard/deletion health check while deploy blocker is active):
  - GET /api/runtime/handoff -> 405 {"error":"Method not allowed"}
  - POST /api/runtime/handoff (no auth) -> 401 {"error":"Missing or invalid Authorization header"}

  - GET /api/tasks -> 404 (NOT_FOUND)
- Added QA evidence artifact:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-18-p5-merge-order-smoke.md
What's next:
- Ship a short-form ignoreCommand fix (<=256 chars) in vercel.json, then redeploy main.
- Re-run targeted production smoke after successful deploy of main to confirm post-P5 live state.
- Founder executes remaining P5 closure ops:
  - remove LITELLM_URL and LITELLM_MASTER_KEY from Vercel
  - shut down Railway LiteLLM service
Blockers: P5 code is merged, but production deploy for both merge commits is failing on Vercel due ignoreCommand length limit (>256 chars); full post-merge production validation remains blocked until config fix + successful deploy.

- Updated bootstrap/workspace contract guidance to workspace-first instructions (no /api/agent/* runtime guidance):
  - api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts
  - api/lib/workspace-contract.ts
- Validation:
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass)
  - npm test -- --exclude src/test/tenants-status-route.test.ts (pass, 17 files / 70 tests)
- Added batch-2 QA evidence:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-17-pivot-p3-runtime-prune-batch2-dashboard-runtime-legacy.md

    - removed api/debug/env-check.ts
    - removed src/test/debug-env-check-route.test.ts
    - confirmed no remaining /api/debug/env-check or env-check references in api/, vercel.json, or src/test
  - 12dc963 — feat(p1): wire runtime handoff into onboarding launch (step 5 thin integration)
    - src/pages/Onboarding.tsx now fires non-fatal fire-and-forget POST /api/runtime/handoff with { source: "onboarding-launch" } after successful onboarding save
    - handoff failures only console.warn; existing refreshTenant() + navigate() flow is unchanged
  - 7f88024 — docs(p1): add V1 HTTP plaintext notice to handoff contract and route
    - added the exact V1 plaintext-HTTP notice above resolvePaperclipRuntimeUrlFromDropletIp in api/lib/paperclip-handoff-contract.ts
    - added the exact V1-ONLY plaintext-HTTP notice above the 200 response in api/runtime/handoff.ts

What's next:
- Create branch codex/p1-c1-debug-removal-step5-handoff in a git-writable environment.
- Commit the security cleanup and Step 5 thin integration, then hand the branch to CTO for review.
Blockers: Current session sandbox denies writes under .git, so local branch creation and commit creation could not be completed in-session.
Date: 2026-03-17 (session 81)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Executed founder-approved Option 1 recovery for managed-only rollout:
  - temporary compatibility bootstrap:
    - set PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=false
    - set PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE=ubuntu-24-04-x64
    - redeploy alias: https://pixelport-launchpad-ceju3vqx8-sanchalrs-projects.vercel.app
  - bootstrap canary:
    - tenant 2c7b413a-d034-40df-9455-4cdec1c0786e (pixelport-dry-run-mmv5mnoe)
    - reached active (poll 13)
    - droplet 559040968 / 104.248.61.186
    - gateway health 200
  - built new managed snapshot:
    - snapshot action 3095700311 (completed)
    - image 221035422 (pixelport-paperclip-golden-2026-03-17-rebuild-4c24047)
  - restored managed-only production config:
    - PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE=221035422
    - PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=true
    - redeploy alias: https://pixelport-launchpad-geushz7cg-sanchalrs-projects.vercel.app
  - strict managed-only canary:
    - tenant c19aa8eb-96b8-434a-8fa5-79a9da6c7060 (pixelport-dry-run-mmv5wck7)
    - reached active (poll 7)
    - droplet 559042841 / 157.230.10.108
    - gateway health 200
    - image truth: droplet_get(559042841).image.id = 221035422
    - cleanup: tenant row deleted (TENANT_AFTER=[])
- Confirmed original blocker was resolved:
  - prior managed image 220984246 had been deleted (image_destroy action 3094840018)
  - strict mode now succeeds using new managed image 221035422
- Added new QA evidence artifact:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-17-pivot-p1-managed-golden-rebuild-closure.md
What's next:
- Keep Track A closure work (A2-A5) moving with founder-confirmed ownership decisions.
- Decide whether to grant delete-capable DO scope for automated dry-run cleanup or keep manual founder cleanup.
Blockers: Managed-only canary closure blocker is resolved. Residual operations risk: current DO token still cannot delete droplets (HTTP 403), so dry-run droplets can accumulate without manual cleanup.
Date: 2026-03-17 (session 80)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Completed Step 1 managed golden-image promotion in production:
  - created DO snapshot image 220984246 (pixelport-paperclip-golden-2026-03-17-a627712) from validated canary droplet lineage
  - updated production env selector to PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE=220984246
  - redeployed production alias: https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app
- Completed Step 2 managed-image fresh-tenant canary and image-truth validation:
  - tenant 025792b0-80f1-48c1-812a-75af3f7020d3 (pixelport-dry-run-mmudpzis)
  - reached active with gateway 200
  - droplet 558892798 / 159.65.239.67
  - DO droplet image truth: image.id=220984246
  - cleanup confirmed tenant row deleted (TENANT_AFTER=[])
- Executed Step 3 managed-only gate enablement:
  - set PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=true in Vercel production
  - redeployed production alias (pixelport-launchpad-htok25s2n-sanchalrs-projects.vercel.app)
- Ran strict managed-only fresh-tenant canary and captured blocker truth:
  - test tenant 86fc38f5-ac20-4c14-be88-3bcb1d2792aa stayed provisioning with no droplet_id
  - Inngest run detail (founder screenshot + direct checks) shows failure at create-droplet
  - direct DO probe with same image/size/region confirms root cause:
    - HTTP 422 {"id":"unprocessable_entity","message":"creating this/these droplet(s) will exceed your droplet limit"}
- Validated cleanup scope limitation that prevents autonomous unblocking:
  - stale dry-run droplets remain active (558840407, 558876964, 558878686, 558892354, 558892798)
  - DO delete attempts returned HTTP 403 {"id":"Forbidden","message":"You are not authorized to perform this operation"}
- Added QA evidence artifact:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-17-pivot-p1-managed-golden-promotion-and-managed-only-canary.md
What's next:
- Founder/authorized DO owner must free droplet capacity (delete stale dry-run droplets or raise droplet limit).
- Grant delete-capable DO scope for cleanup path or provide owner-run cleanup step.
- Re-run strict managed-only fresh-tenant canary after capacity unblock and record pass/fail closure.
Blockers: Production fresh-tenant validation under managed-only gate is blocked by DO account droplet limit (422) plus lack of delete authorization (403) for the current automation token.
Date: 2026-03-17 (session 79)
Who worked: Codex + sub-agent QA reviewer (Locke)
What was done:
- Completed founder-approved Step 1 fresh-tenant selector canary on production:
  - tenant 078bd6f9-ff77-4431-8bac-ba83f2d94e59 (pixelport-dry-run-mmua9dqn)
  - reached active (poll 9)
  - droplet 558876964 / 64.227.3.37
  - gateway health 200
  - backend artifact truth included vault_non_pending=5
  - cleanup: tenant deleted true, droplet delete remained false (known DO scope limit)
- Implemented and shipped Step 2 golden-image policy-gate slice:
  - branch: codex/p1-golden-image-policy-gate
  - merged/pushed to main: 9faee29
  - deployment: https://pixelport-launchpad-q4qnlchai-sanchalrs-projects.vercel.app (Ready)
- Step 2 implementation outcomes:
  - provisioning image selector now classifies as managed | compatibility | missing
  - strict missing-selector enforcement remains intact
  - optional managed-only gate added:
    - PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=true
    - blocks compatibility selector usage
  - compatibility selector path remains non-breaking by default with warning logs
  - manifest notes synced to strict-selector reality and optional managed-only gate
- Local validation for Step 2:
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass)
  - npx vitest run src/test/provision-tenant-memory.test.ts (pass, 12/12)
- QA reviewer result for Step 2 code diff:
  - verdict: APPROVED
  - no blocking findings
- Ran post-merge production smoke canary for 9faee29:
  - tenant d53e52ae-f593-4f79-9e24-0e9a72998b38 (pixelport-dry-run-mmuap4ug)
  - reached active (poll 16)
  - droplet 558878686 / 157.245.83.187
  - gateway health 200
  - tenant row cleanup confirmed (BEFORE=[], AFTER=[])
What's next:
- Continue Track A closure work (A2-A5) with founder-confirmed ownership decisions.
- Promote production selector from compatibility slug to maintained PixelPort golden artifact.
- After selector promotion, enable PROVISIONING_REQUIRE_MANAGED_GOLDEN_IMAGE=true.
Blockers: No missing-selector blocker remains. Primary open risk is compatibility-selector operation until maintained golden artifact promotion is completed.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Applied founder-approved production env update:
  - PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE=ubuntu-24-04-x64
- Verified Vercel env truth after update:
  - PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE now appears in production env listing.
  - PAPERCLIP_HANDOFF_SECRET remains present.
- Triggered redeploy so the new env value is active on current production alias.
- Ran authenticated production status check:
  - GET /api/debug/test-provision?mode=status -> 200 {"action":"status","tenants":[]}
- Updated active coordination docs to remove stale "missing image env" blocker and reflect the new operational state.
What's next:
- Continue Track A closure work (A2-A5) with founder-confirmed ownership decisions.
- Run/record a fresh-tenant provisioning canary specifically against the strict-selector path and capture cleanup evidence.
- Start the next approved Paperclip-consumer integration slice.
Blockers: No active blocker remains for missing PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE; Track A governance closure (A2-A5) is still open.
Date: 2026-03-17 (session 77)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Completed runtime-target and golden-enforcement implementation slice and merged to main at 688c4e3.
- Recorded implementation outcomes from 688c4e3:
  - api/debug/env-check.ts is now production-gated and header-auth only (x-debug-secret).
  - api/tenants/index.ts replaced Record<string, any> usage with typed request-body handling.
  - /api/runtime/handoff now derives paperclip_runtime_url from tenant droplet_ip as http://<ip>:18789 and no longer depends on PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_URL.
  - missing/invalid runtime target now returns 409 with runtime-target-unavailable.
  - golden image enforcement is strict in provisioning path (no compatibility fallback image).
- Validation recorded:
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass)
  - vitest suite (4 files / 29 tests) (pass)
  - QA reviewer verdict: APPROVED with no findings.
- Confirmed production deploy truth for main commit 688c4e3:
  - status: success
  - deploy: https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/7wihkxTEH7eRPevqicduNULohfcX
- Confirmed production smoke truth:
  - GET /api/debug/env-check -> 404 {"error":"Not found"}
  - POST /api/runtime/handoff (no auth) -> 401
  - POST /api/runtime/handoff (invalid bearer) -> 401
  - authenticated temporary user+tenant rerun -> 200 with paperclip_runtime_url=http://157.245.253.88:18789
  - cleanup: tenant deleted true, user deleted true.
- Captured follow-up env truth:
  - PAPERCLIP_HANDOFF_SECRET exists in Vercel env.
  - PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE is not present in vercel env ls evidence.
  - strict golden enforcement is active, so fresh provisioning will fail until selector env is set.
What's next:
- Set PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE in production to unblock fresh tenant provisioning under strict enforcement.
- Continue Track A closure work (A2-A5) with founder-confirmed ownership decisions.
- Start the next approved Paperclip-consumer integration slice now that authenticated 200 handoff is verified.
Blockers: Fresh provisioning is currently blocked by missing production PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE under strict golden-enforcement mode.
Date: 2026-03-17 (session 76)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Executed authenticated production smoke for POST /api/runtime/handoff on branch codex/pivot-p1-handoff-auth-smoke.
- Created a temporary test user and temporary active tenant via Supabase service-role flow for this one-time validation.
- Generated a valid Bearer token using signInWithPassword and called production /api/runtime/handoff.
- Observed response:
  - status: 503
  - body: {"error":"Paperclip runtime handoff is not configured.","missing":["PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_URL","PAPERCLIP_HANDOFF_SECRET"]}
- Confirmed cleanup completed:
  - tenant deleted: true
  - user deleted: true
- Recorded QA evidence + planning docs for this authenticated smoke step.
What's next:
- Set required production handoff env vars: PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_URL and PAPERCLIP_HANDOFF_SECRET.
- Re-run authenticated production smoke and confirm 200 handoff success payload.
- Keep Track A ownership closure work (A2-A5) in progress.
Blockers: 200 handoff path is blocked until PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_URL and PAPERCLIP_HANDOFF_SECRET are set in production env.
Date: 2026-03-17 (session 75)
Who worked: Codex + sub-agents (Dirac, Locke, Banach)
What was done:
- Started Step 2 on branch codex/pivot-p1-ownership-audit to execute Phase P1 Track A ownership-lock evidence capture.
- Ran parallel ownership audits for:
  - repo/branch protection + CI ownership signals
  - deploy ownership + secrets inventory + escalation boundary signals
- Confirmed and documented key facts:
  - Analog-Labs/pixelport-launchpad default branch is main and currently unprotected.
  - no active main rulesets/branch rules were found for PixelPort repo.
  - no CODEOWNERS file exists in PixelPort repo.
  - paperclipai/paperclip default branch is master and reports protected with active branch rules (deletion, non_fast_forward, pull_request).
  - Vercel/Railway/DO ownership signals were captured, including DO scope limits on billing endpoints (403).
  - handoff-related PAPERCLIP_* env vars are defined in code contract but are not visible in current Vercel env listing evidence.
- Updated Track A docs and artifacts without fabricating closure:
  - docs/paperclip-fork-bootstrap-ownership.md
  - docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md
  - docs/pixelport-project-status.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-17-pivot-p1-ownership-audit-slice.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-17-pivot-p1-ownership-audit-slice-cto-prompt.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-17-pivot-p1-ownership-audit.md
- Ran QA review on the full ownership-audit doc slice:
  - verdict: APPROVED
  - no findings.
What's next:
- Commit and merge the ownership-audit docs slice.
- Close founder decisions needed for A2-A5:
  - branch protection/review/check policy for PixelPort main
  - deploy ownership + rollback authority model
  - secret source-of-truth + rotation ownership, including PAPERCLIP_* vars
  - incident escalation/notification SLA boundaries
- After founder approval, execute enforcement/config updates for A2-A5 closure.
Blockers: A2-A5 closure still requires explicit founder confirmations and (for A2) real branch-protection enforcement changes.
Date: 2026-03-17 (session 74)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Completed Phase P1 Track C closeout for the first launchpad-to-Paperclip handoff slice.
- Confirmed CTO-approved branch codex/pivot-p1-bootstrap-handoff was merged to main.
- Confirmed release head on main:
  - 4e1dfb91602d9686df6aa0b4b990881448882813
- Confirmed Vercel deploy success:
  - https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/HhkBXxcaf1rMayfqkjgWSE435C84
- Ran targeted production smoke on live alias https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app and captured exact outcomes:
  - GET /api/runtime/handoff -> 405 {"error":"Method not allowed"}
  - POST /api/runtime/handoff (no auth) -> 401 {"error":"Missing or invalid Authorization header"}
  - POST /api/runtime/handoff (invalid bearer) -> 401 {"error":"Invalid or expired token"}
  - GET /api/debug/env-check (no secret) -> 401 {"error":"Unauthorized"}
- Added release-smoke evidence doc:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-17-pivot-p1-handoff-release-smoke.md
- Updated active planning/status docs to mark P1 Track C (C2/C3/C4) complete while keeping unresolved ownership dependencies open.
What's next:
- Close remaining P1 Track A ownership signoffs (repo/CI, deploy owners, secret rotation authority, rollback/escalation authority).
- Run an authenticated production check for POST /api/runtime/handoff success path (200) once a safe test token/session is available.
- Start next approved P1 slice after ownership dependencies are advanced.
Blockers: Ownership confirmation details (repo/deploy/secrets/rollback/escalation) are still open and remain the main blocker for cutover-critical follow-on work.
Date: 2026-03-16 (session 73)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Kicked off Phase P1 after P0 release completion, focused on bootstrap ownership lock for the Paperclip-primary runtime direction.
- Published the new ownership contract:
  - docs/paperclip-fork-bootstrap-ownership.md
- Advanced execution tracking from P0 to P1 in active planning docs:
  - docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md
- Created P1 execution artifacts for this ownership + first handoff slice:
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-16-pivot-p1-paperclip-bootstrap-handoff-slice.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-16-pivot-p1-paperclip-bootstrap-handoff-slice-cto-prompt.md
- Updated project status immediate actions to reflect P1 kickoff and ownership-first sequencing.
- Implemented first additive launchpad-to-Paperclip handoff contract:
  - helper/signing module: api/lib/paperclip-handoff-contract.ts
  - route: POST /api/runtime/handoff
  - env diagnostics update: api/debug/env-check.ts
  - tests:
    - src/test/paperclip-handoff-contract.test.ts
    - src/test/runtime-handoff-route.test.ts
- Ran local validation:
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass)
  - npx vitest run src/test/paperclip-handoff-contract.test.ts src/test/runtime-handoff-route.test.ts (pass, 12/12)
- Ran QA sub-agent review and applied required fixes before merge handoff:
  - moved env diagnostics behind auth on /api/runtime/handoff (no unauthenticated config disclosure)
  - added strict runtime URL validation for PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_URL (absolute http(s) only)
  - synced planning docs/checklists to match implemented branch state.
- Recorded QA evidence:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-16-pivot-p1-paperclip-bootstrap-handoff-slice.md
What's next:
- Run CTO review for codex/pivot-p1-bootstrap-handoff.
- Address any blocked findings, then merge/deploy approved P1 slice.
- Run same-session production smoke for the new handoff surface.
Blockers: Ownership confirmation details (repo/deploy/secrets/rollback) still need explicit signoff completion before cutover work can proceed.
Date: 2026-03-16 (session 72)
Who worked: Codex + sub-agent CTO reviewer (Lorentz)
What was done:
- Ran full CTO review workflow for branch codex/pivot-p0-implementation against main using the two approved pivot build briefs and CTO prompts.
- CTO review result returned explicit approval:
  - Verdict: APPROVED
  - Approved to merge and deploy.
- Fast-forward merged codex/pivot-p0-implementation into main and pushed:
  - merged head on main: a6a2ad0
- Verified deploy signal on a6a2ad0:
  - GitHub commit status: success
  - Vercel target: https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/Dcn4hjt5rW449Eq2TmJieU5fCmAT
- Ran same-session fresh-tenant production smoke canary on live alias https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app:
  - canary tenant: pixelport-dry-run-mmu2ladg (b31603b5-89e0-4f6c-9e71-7658ece7fdcc)
  - canary email: test-pixelport-dry-run-mmu2ladg@pixelport-test.local
  - droplet: 558840407 / 157.245.253.88
  - tenant reached active; /api/tenants/status returned bootstrap_status=accepted, task_step_unlocked=true, contract_version=pivot-p0-v1
  - gateway health on droplet returned {"ok":true,"status":"live"}
  - authenticated API truth checks:
    - /api/tasks: 3 running tasks
    - /api/vault: 5 sections (populating)
    - /api/competitors: 0
  - DB truth checks matched the live surface at capture (agents=1, agent_tasks=3, vault_sections=5, vault_non_pending=5, competitors=0, sessions_log=0).
- Ran quota-safe cleanup path:
  - tenant rows cleaned up successfully
  - droplet deletion still reported droplet_deleted=false (known DO token scope limitation).
- Recorded release-smoke evidence:
  - docs/qa/2026-03-16-pivot-p0-release-smoke.md
- Updated active coordination docs and build-brief acceptance checkboxes to reflect review/merge/smoke completion.
What's next:
- Set PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE to a valid golden image selector before enforcing strict golden-only provisioning behavior.
- Start next post-P0 phase focused on Paperclip fork bootstrap/environment ownership and cutover execution.
Blockers: Technical ownership/bootstrap details for the PixelPort-owned Paperclip fork remain the primary next-phase blocker.
Date: 2026-03-16 (session 71)
Who worked: Codex + sub-agents (Peirce, Bohr)
What was done:
- Continued implementation on branch codex/pivot-p0-implementation and completed remaining P0 Track C items (C1, C3, C4).
- Implemented provisioning baseline contract in api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts:
  - added env-driven droplet baseline resolver for image/size/region
  - canonical envs: PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE, PROVISIONING_DROPLET_SIZE, PROVISIONING_DROPLET_REGION
  - legacy fallback envs: PIXELPORT_DROPLET_IMAGE, DO_GOLDEN_IMAGE_ID, PIXELPORT_DROPLET_SIZE, PIXELPORT_DROPLET_REGION
  - default sizing aligned to pivot baseline: s-4vcpu-8gb / nyc1.
- Addressed QA-flagged provisioning safety regression in-slice:
  - initial default image selector risked failed droplet creates when unset
  - adjusted to compatibility fallback image ubuntu-24-04-x64 with warning log, preserving onboarding continuity while golden image env rollout completes.
- Added baseline/infra documentation artifacts:
  - infra/provisioning/golden-image-manifest.yaml
  - updated infra/provisioning/cloud-init.yaml comments for new selector behavior.
- Implemented thin bridge contract hardening for launchpad-to-runtime handoff:
  - added api/lib/thin-bridge-contract.ts
  - /api/tenants/status now emits contract_version and task_step_unlocked
  - onboarding polling consumes task_step_unlocked when present, with status fallback preserved.
- Added C4 migration planning artifact:
  - docs/migration/launchpad-runtime-prune-checklist.md with keep/deprecate/archive route classification and deletion order constraints.
- Produced second-slice review artifacts:
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-16-pivot-p0-runtime-bridge-baseline-slice.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-16-pivot-p0-runtime-bridge-baseline-slice-cto-prompt.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-16-pivot-p0-runtime-bridge-baseline-slice.md.
- Validation run on branch:
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass)
  - npx vitest run src/test/provision-tenant-memory.test.ts src/test/provisioning-allowlist.test.ts src/test/runtime-bridge-contract.test.ts (pass, 18/18).
What's next:
- Run CTO review against full branch scope (session 70 + session 71 slices).
- Address CTO findings (if any), then merge to main.
- Run same-session post-merge production smoke with a fresh-tenant canary.
- Set PROVISIONING_DROPLET_IMAGE to a valid golden image selector before enforcing strict golden-image-only provisioning.
Blockers: CTO approval still required before merge/deploy per build workflow.
Date: 2026-03-16 (session 70)
Who worked: Codex + sub-agent implementation contributors (Franklin, Leibniz)
What was done:
- Started execution branch codex/pivot-p0-implementation and implemented first P0 pivot build slice.
- Implemented onboarding contract in UI as:
  - Company -> Provision -> Task -> Launch
  - explicit provisioning gate before Task unlock
  - editable starter task + editable/addable/removable agent suggestions in Task/Launch.
- Implemented v1 invite gating for tenant provisioning:
  - added allowlist parser/helper (api/lib/provisioning-allowlist.ts)
  - enforced allowlist checks in POST /api/tenants
  - added parser tests (src/test/provisioning-allowlist.test.ts).
- Added mission payload compatibility and onboarding hydration resilience:
  - POST /api/tenants now supports both mission and mission_goals
  - onboarding hydration now falls back from mission_goals -> mission -> goals.
- Corrected Paperclip parity regression discovered during QA review:
  - Company-step mission/goals field is optional again (not required).
- Produced execution artifacts for team alignment:
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-16-pivot-p0-onboarding-provisioning-slice.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-16-pivot-p0-onboarding-provisioning-slice-cto-prompt.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-16-pivot-p0-onboarding-provisioning-slice.md.
- Validation run on branch:
  - npx vitest run src/test/provisioning-allowlist.test.ts (pass, 6/6)
  - npx tsc --noEmit (pass).
What's next:
- Run CTO review for the branch using the new prompt.
- Address any CTO findings, then merge and run fresh-tenant production smoke.
- Continue P0 Track C work (C1, C3, C4) after this slice is accepted.
Blockers: CTO review/approval still required before merge per build workflow.
Date: 2026-03-16 (session 69)
Who worked: Codex + Founder
What was done:
- Ran a full pivot planning session and locked the Paperclip-primary architecture direction.
- Locked runtime auth source of truth to Paperclip auth.
- Locked the approved pivot contract and published it as:
  - docs/pixelport-pivot-plan-2026-03-16.md
- Founder clarified critical workspace-policy constraints:
  - preserve Paperclip default workspace behavior
  - no PixelPort functional rewrite of runtime workspace AGENTS.md / HEARTBEAT.md
  - additive SOUL.md onboarding context is allowed
  - user-facing terminology can align from CEO to Chief of Staff without functional changes.
- Locked onboarding/provisioning sequence for v1 testing:
  - Company -> Provision -> Task -> Launch
  - provisioning starts after Company step
  - Task unlocks only after provisioning ready
  - Task/Launch shows prefilled but editable 3-agent suggestions.
- Founder requested a clean slate for repo state:
  - removed all uncommitted tracked/untracked changes
  - reset working tree to clean main
- Updated coordination and plan docs to align all future sessions with the pivot:
  - AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md
  - docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md (rewritten around Phase P0 pivot)
  - docs/project-coordination-system.md
  - docs/pixelport-project-status.md
  - docs/pixelport-master-plan-v2.md (decision overrides)
  - docs/lovable-collaboration-guide.md
  - archived previous checklist to docs/archive/ACTIVE-PLAN-pre-pivot-2026-03-16.md.
What's next:
- Create the first execution build brief for implementing the pivot in the PixelPort-owned Paperclip fork.
- Define implementation-ready contracts for:
  - Company-step payload schema
  - Provision-step state machine
  - starter-task generation logic
  - launchpad-to-runtime thin bridge handoff.
- Start first execution branch for Phase P0 after founder confirms build-brief scope.
Blockers: No blocker for planning/documentation. Execution kickoff requires Paperclip fork environment/bootstrap ownership setup.
Date: 2026-03-13 (session 68)

- Ran founder-requested live upgrade validation on active tenant vidacious-4 (6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea, droplet 557399795 / 137.184.56.1) to verify real 2026.3.11 behavior against the listed feature claims.
- Reconfirmed runtime baseline:
  - container image/version: ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11 / OpenClaw 2026.3.11
  - gateway health: {"ok":true,"status":"live"}
  - channel runtime: openclaw channels status --json reported Slack running:true
  - config schema: openclaw config validate --json returned valid:true with current acp.dispatch.enabled=false.
- Verified dynamic subagent behavior directly (not inferred):
  - executed openclaw agent smoke prompt requiring sessions_spawn
  - session transcript e8c33ce2-6ccb-4e02-99a5-5ca5ddfba60c.jsonl captured real toolCall + toolResult for sessions_spawn
  - child session keys were created and completed successfully (e.g., agent:main:subagent:e54ddf19-926b-49ce-a624-b0b3f4803fce)
  - deleted child-session artifact showed cwd=/home/node/.openclaw/workspace-main, confirming workspace inheritance behavior on this runtime.
- Verified browser/runtime reality on vidacious-4:
  - browser tool is present and callable, but browser status shows no detected executable
  - openclaw browser start --json fails with No supported browser found (Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium...)
  - agent-level browser tool probe returned BROWSER_STATUS:running=false.
- Verified memory behavior:
  - openclaw memory status --json succeeded (builtin + vector available)
  - forced reindex succeeded (openclaw memory index --force)
  - search hit returned from memory/active-priorities.md for Canonical status snapshot recorded.
- Reconfirmed current security posture on upgraded runtime:
  - openclaw security audit --json remained 3 critical / 5 warn / 2 info
  - host-header origin fallback is still enabled (gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback=true)
  - Slack open-group exposure warnings remain by current policy.
- Captured the dashboard offline root-cause state continuity:
  - last EACCES ... /home/node/.openclaw/devices errors in log were at lines 487-488 (2026-03-13T03:42:55Z)
  - later webchat connected ... openclaw-control-ui v2026.3.11 appeared at line 493 (2026-03-13T03:43:11Z), matching the post-permission-fix recovery.
What's next:
- Optional hardening decision: disable gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback and move to explicit allowedOrigins.
- Optional consistency pass for existing upgraded tenants: explicitly deny browser in live config too (to match new-tenant policy and avoid unusable browser attempts).
- Keep browser re-enable as a separate approved canary if/when browser-assisted workflows are reprioritized.
Blockers: No blocker for core upgraded runtime operation on vidacious-4. Browser-assisted workflows remain intentionally unavailable without a browser binary/install strategy.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Founder updated Vercel MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY and redeployed.
- Revalidated memory/runtime directly on founder-requested canary droplet 162.243.160.239 (pixelport-dry-run-mmoeognr):
  - gateway/container healthy
  - no EACCES/DB-open permission errors
  - key fingerprint remained old (...XAAY) and memory search still failed with OpenAI 401 invalid_api_key (expected stale env snapshot from pre-rotation provisioning).
- Continued validation on the newer canary droplet 68.183.124.49 (pixelport-dry-run-mmoezocv) provisioned after key rotation:
  - tenant reached active (6640c856-7481-4537-9e20-8413193cb5b4, droplet 557927762)
  - gateway/container healthy on ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11
  - key fingerprint changed (...bXAA) and memory search no longer returned auth errors
  - forced openclaw memory index --force and confirmed real hit for:
    - openclaw memory search --json "Complete post-onboarding bootstrap"
    - result included memory/active-priorities.md
- Ran dry-run cleanup:
  - test tenant DB rows were deleted successfully
  - droplet deletes still returned droplet_deleted:false (known DO token scope limitation).
What's next:
- Optional: if desired, manually destroy leftover dry-run droplets in DO dashboard until token delete scope is fixed.
- Continue normal build work; onboarding and native-memory key-quality blockers are cleared for new tenants.
Blockers: No onboarding-flow blocker and no current memory-key validity blocker. Remaining infra cleanup blocker: DO token still cannot delete canary droplets via API.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Received founder-confirmed CTO approval (Approved to merge and deploy.) and executed release on branch codex/vidacious-runtime-permissions-stabilization.
- Merged/pushed to main (fast-forward):
  - base before merge: 9a8543f
  - released head: 71077aa
  - included runtime permission hardening + onboarding memory-key fallback + review artifacts.
- Verified deploy signal:
  - GitHub commit status success
  - Vercel deployment: https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/8FYPrT1tB4G9FpJMMU4rDqtjUkjp
- Re-synced Inngest on production alias:
  - PUT https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app/api/inngest
  - response {"message":"Successfully registered","modified":true}
- Ran fresh provisioning smoke canary through production debug endpoint:
  - created tenant pixelport-dry-run-mmoeognr (8fd36cd0-427c-4985-83d5-197739db0a62)
  - tenant progressed from provisioning to active
  - droplet refs persisted: 557926844 / 162.243.160.239
  - backend truth on fresh tenant:
    - memory_native_enabled=true
    - memory_mem0_enabled=false
    - onboarding_data.provisioning_memory=null (no missing-key downgrade triggered)
    - agents=1, vault_sections=5, agent_tasks=0, competitors=0, workspace_events=0 at capture time
- Ran droplet runtime checks on canary:
  - curl http://127.0.0.1:18789/health returned live
  - openclaw-gateway container healthy on ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11
  - openclaw health --json reported ok:true
  - no EACCES / unable to open database file hits in recent logs
- Found one env-quality blocker during memory smoke:
  - openclaw memory search returned OpenAI 401 invalid_api_key on the fresh canary
  - direct OpenAI probe with current secret also returned 401, indicating the currently configured OpenAI key value is invalid (not just missing).
What's next:
- Founder updates Vercel MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY to a valid OpenAI project key (keep secret-only in env).
- After key update, run one focused memory smoke on the fresh canary droplet:
  - openclaw memory status --json
  - openclaw memory search --json "<known phrase>"
- Optional cleanup afterward: remove disposable dry-run tenants/droplets.
Blockers: Native-memory quality remains blocked by invalid OpenAI key value in env, even though onboarding/provisioning flow no longer breaks.
Date: 2026-03-13 (session 65)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Traced the fresh onboarding/provisioning failure shown in Inngest (Provision New Tenant) to a hard runtime guard in api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts:
  - validate-memory-settings threw when tenant memory_native_enabled=true and MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY was missing.
  - This blocked droplet creation entirely and left tenants stuck in provisioning.
- Confirmed current Vercel production env now includes MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY (encrypted, present), so the immediate incident is unblocked.
- Implemented a permanent resilience fix so onboarding no longer hard-fails on that env gap:
  - added resolveTenantMemoryProvisioningPlan() in api/lib/tenant-memory-settings.ts
  - replaced hard throw with graceful runtime downgrade in provisioning:
    - if key missing, continue provisioning with native memory effectively disabled for that run
    - emit warning log and persist a durable warning payload under tenants.onboarding_data.provisioning_memory
  - kept tenant requested settings intact (no forced rewrite of memory_native_enabled)
  - passed effective memory flags to emitted cloud-init/OpenClaw config so runtime config matches the downgrade decision.
- Expanded unit coverage:
  - src/test/tenant-memory-settings.test.ts now includes provisioning-plan tests for:
    - native enabled + key present
    - native enabled + key missing (downgrade path)
    - native already disabled (no false downgrade)
- Prepared formal release-review artifacts for this high-risk change:
  - build brief: docs/build-briefs/2026-03-13-runtime-stabilization-onboarding-fallback.md
  - CTO handoff prompt: docs/build-briefs/2026-03-13-runtime-stabilization-onboarding-fallback-cto-prompt.md
  - QA evidence: docs/qa/2026-03-13-runtime-stabilization-onboarding-fallback.md
- Validation run:
  - npx vitest run src/test/tenant-memory-settings.test.ts src/test/provision-tenant-memory.test.ts (passing)
  - npx tsc --noEmit (passing)
What's next:
- Ship this branch and run one fresh-tenant canary to verify provisioning reaches active even if memory key is absent in runtime envs.
- Keep MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY configured in Vercel production to preserve native memory functionality (the new fallback protects onboarding continuity, not memory quality).
Blockers: No onboarding-blocking code issue remains on this branch; deployment + canary validation still required.
Date: 2026-03-13 (session 64)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Audited the founder-reported Pixel reply on the live vidacious-4 runtime (6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea, droplet 557399795 / 137.184.56.1) and confirmed the message was materially accurate at capture time:
  - OpenClaw version 2026.3.11
  - memory commands failing with unable to open database file
  - security audit surfacing host-header fallback + open Slack group policy + file-permission findings
- Applied one-time runtime repair in place on vidacious-4:
  - normalized /home/node/.openclaw ownership/perms to node:node with 700
  - normalized /home/node/.openclaw/{identity,devices} ownership/perms to node:node with 700
  - tightened /opt/openclaw/{openclaw.json,.env} perms to 600
- Revalidated live runtime after repair:
  - openclaw health and curl http://127.0.0.1:18789/health both healthy
  - openclaw channels status --json showed Slack running:true
  - openclaw memory status --json now succeeds (no DB-open error)
  - forced openclaw memory index --force, then openclaw memory search --json "Canonical status snapshot recorded" returned expected memory/active-priorities.md hit
  - no fresh EACCES / unable to open database file log lines in post-fix window
- Verified permission hardening impact in security audit:
  - summary improved from 4 critical · 6 warn · 2 info to 3 critical · 5 warn · 2 info
  - cleared permission findings (Config file is world-readable, State dir is readable by others)
  - remaining criticals match current intentional policy posture (dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback, Slack groupPolicy:"open" exposure class)
- Implemented persistent provisioning hardening in repo:
  - updated api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts so generated cloud-init now:
    - enforces chmod 600 /opt/openclaw/openclaw.json /opt/openclaw/.env before gateway start
    - runs post-start normalize_runtime_state_perms() with retry to create/chown/chmod /home/node/.openclaw, identity, and devices
  - synced docs template parity in infra/provisioning/cloud-init.yaml with the same hardening steps
  - expanded src/test/provision-tenant-memory.test.ts assertions to lock the new permission-normalization script output
- Ran validation in repo:
  - npx vitest run src/test/provision-tenant-memory.test.ts src/test/tenant-memory-settings.test.ts (passing)
  - npx tsc --noEmit (passing)
What's next:
- Optional: run one fresh-tenant canary (or controlled container replacement on a disposable tenant) to prove the new post-start permission normalization survives end-to-end provisioning automatically.
- Founder decision later (if desired) on whether to harden dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback and Slack open-group policy; these were intentionally left unchanged in this pass.
Blockers: No blocker for memory/runtime stabilization on vidacious-4. Known intentional security posture warnings remain by policy choice.
Date: 2026-03-13 (session 63)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Committed the OpenClaw runtime simplification + upgrade bundle as 29213c4 (feat: simplify openclaw runtime path and pin 2026.3.11) and pushed main.
- Verified Vercel deployment succeeded for 29213c4:
  - commit status: success
  - Vercel target: https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/9S4zUErWB7CBJbAwyuzRSFHwu1mc
  - public app reachability: GET / returned 200
- Synced Inngest after deploy:
  - PUT https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app/api/inngest
  - response {"message":"Successfully registered","modified":true}
- Upgraded the live Slack-integrated tenant (vidacious-4, tenant 6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea, droplet 557399795 / 137.184.56.1) in place:
  - baseline container image/version: pixelport-openclaw:2026.3.2-chromium / 2026.3.2
  - backed up runtime files:
    - /opt/openclaw/backups/openclaw.json.20260313-031433
    - /opt/openclaw/backups/.env.20260313-031433
  - pulled ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11
  - validated existing config against new image before swap (openclaw.mjs config validate --json => valid:true)
  - replaced container with same host networking, env-file, and mounts; only image changed to ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11
- Post-upgrade validation on live tenant:
  - docker ps: openclaw-gateway on ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11 and healthy
  - curl http://127.0.0.1:18789/health => {"ok":true,"status":"live"}
  - logs show gateway listening + Slack socket reconnect:
    - gateway listening on ws://0.0.0.0:18789
    - slack socket mode connected
  - openclaw channels status --json shows Slack account default with running:true
- Fixed one post-upgrade ops edge case:
  - openclaw health via CLI initially failed (EACCES mkdir /home/node/.openclaw/identity)
  - created/chowned /home/node/.openclaw/identity inside the running container; CLI health probe then succeeded and showed Slack probe ok:true for workspace TS7V7KT35.
What's next:
- Founder-led QA on live vidacious-4 Slack flow (DM + one channel mention) to confirm no behavioral regressions after runtime upgrade.
- Optional hardening follow-up: add an explicit identity-path mount in provisioning for future runtime ops parity on 2026.3.11.
Blockers: No release blocker for this rollout. Existing cleanup blocker remains separate: current DO_API_TOKEN still cannot delete disposable canary droplets (403).
Date: 2026-03-13 (session 62)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Executed the approved two-step OpenClaw runtime canary against the new simplified provisioning path (no custom Chromium image build):
  - Step 1 canary (OPENCLAW_IMAGE=ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.2, no OPENCLAW_RUNTIME_IMAGE override) reached active with bootstrap.status=accepted, dashboard truth endpoints returned 200, and runtime image on-droplet was the direct base image (ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.2) instead of a *-chromium derivative.
  - Step 2 canary (OPENCLAW_IMAGE=ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11, same simplified path) also reached active with bootstrap.status=accepted, dashboard truth endpoints returned 200, and runtime image/version on-droplet were ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11 / OpenClaw 2026.3.11.
- Verified CTO-requested ACP checks on both canary droplets:
  - current emitted config (acp.dispatch.enabled=false) validated cleanly via openclaw config validate --json
  - ACP-enabled compatibility variant also validated cleanly via an isolated profile config (openclaw --profile acpcheck config validate --json) with no policy flip in rollout config
- Confirmed canary runtime config parity goals:
  - browser tool is blocked by policy (agents.list[0].tools.deny: ["browser"])
  - session delegation toggles remain intact (tools.sessions.visibility: "all", tools.agentToAgent.enabled: true)
  - agents.defaults.memorySearch remains enabled with ${MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY} in both versions
- Captured canary caveat truthfully for both steps:
  - each fresh tenant produced vault_sections=5, agent_tasks=0, competitors=0, workspace_events=0, sessions_log=0 at capture time (same caveat pattern as recent local-runtime canaries; no new regression introduced by 2026.3.11)
  - openclaw memory status/search output remained unchanged between 2026.3.2 and 2026.3.11 (unable to open database file)
- Cleaned DB/auth canary artifacts in FK-safe order for Step 1 and Step 2 tenants; tenant rows are removed.
- Found a cleanup permission blocker: DigitalOcean droplet DELETE returns 403 Forbidden (You are not authorized to perform this operation) for both canary droplets, so disposable droplets remain until token scope or account-level cleanup is handled.
- Captured detailed canary evidence in docs/qa/2026-03-13-openclaw-runtime-simplification-canary.md.
What's next:
- Keep the repo default at ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11 and proceed with normal forward rollout posture (no mass reprovision of existing tenants).
- Keep Growth Swarm excluded.
- Resolve DigitalOcean token scope (or manually delete the disposable canary droplets) to restore automated canary cleanup/cost control.
Blockers: Droplet cleanup permissions: current DO_API_TOKEN cannot delete droplets (403), so disposable canary droplets cannot be removed automatically.
Date: 2026-03-13 (session 61)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Implemented the OpenClaw runtime simplification + upgrade defaults in repo code:
  - removed custom Chromium layer build logic from provisioning script generation (buildCloudInit) so fresh droplets now pull the runtime image directly instead of generating /opt/openclaw/image/Dockerfile and running docker build
  - added runtime image resolution helper so OPENCLAW_RUNTIME_IMAGE remains an optional override and defaults to OPENCLAW_IMAGE when unset
  - bumped default OPENCLAW_IMAGE from ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.2 to ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.3.11
- Disabled browser tool explicitly in emitted OpenClaw agent config (tools.deny: ["browser"]) while keeping existing model/session/memory/slack behavior.
- Synced infra templates with the new runtime path:
  - updated infra/provisioning/openclaw-template.json to include browser deny and refreshed ACP note wording
  - updated infra/provisioning/cloud-init.yaml to document direct runtime-image pull (no Chromium build stage)
- Deleted dead file infra/openclaw-browser/Dockerfile outright per founder direction.
- Added/updated targeted tests for:
  - no Chromium build commands in generated cloud-init
  - runtime image precedence (OPENCLAW_RUNTIME_IMAGE override vs base image default)
  - explicit browser deny in generated agent config
- Ran local validation:
  - npx vitest run src/test/provision-tenant-memory.test.ts src/test/tenant-memory-settings.test.ts src/test/slack-activation.test.ts src/test/tenants-bootstrap-route.test.ts (all passing)
  - npx tsc --noEmit (passing)
What's next:
- Run the planned two-step canary sequence before broad rollout:
  - Step 1: 2026.3.2 canary with no custom image build path
  - Step 2: 2026.3.11 canary with the same simplified runtime path
- During canary, include CTO-required ACP checks (validate current acp.dispatch.enabled=false config and separately validate ACP-enabled variant), plus Slack/session-spawn/memory/dashboard-truth verification.
- Keep Growth Swarm excluded; existing active tenants are unchanged unless explicitly reprovisioned/recovered.
Blockers: No code blocker. Release promotion is pending canary execution evidence.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Double-checked old branch codex/phase0-slices-3-4 before deleting it.
- Confirmed it is stale and should not be merged:
  - branch state was behind 190 / ahead 4 relative to origin/main
  - the only unique commits were the original March 3 Phase 0 slice commits:
    - 0a1f93a phase0 slice3: add supabase-auth api bridge routes
    - 07c1789 phase0 slice4: add provisioning workflow and cto feedback log
    - 8747590 docs: align active-plan notes with slice 3-4 completion
    - 9d1e53c CTO QA: fix 9 frontend issues + expand CTO scope
  - the branch diff against current main would remove or rewind large portions of the now-shipped product surface, including later Phase 1/2/3 APIs, Slack work, command ledger work, native-memory work, and current docs
- Deleted the stale remote branch origin/codex/phase0-slices-3-4.
- Deleted the matching local branch codex/phase0-slices-3-4.
What's next:
- No further branch-retirement work is required right now; the remote repo now reflects only main.
Blockers: None.
Date: 2026-03-12 (session 59)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Followed through on the repo-hygiene cleanup after commit 45f1430 (chore: clean up release branches and deploy guard) pushed successfully to main but Vercel marked its deployment as failed.
- Treated the failed deploy as an operational blocker instead of leaving main with a red release:
  - preserved the branch cleanup and local .playwright-cli/ removal
  - backed out the new ignoreCommand logic entirely rather than iterating on more shell logic in production config
  - simplified vercel.json by removing ignoreCommand so future pushes always build instead of risking another false skip or config-specific deploy failure
- Pushed follow-up commit 3937b16 (fix: remove vercel ignore command) to main.
- Confirmed GitHub/Vercel returned success for commit 3937b16 after the follow-up deploy completed.
- Re-verified the public app remained reachable during the cleanup:
  - GET / returned 200
  - HEAD /api/inngest returned the expected 405
What's next:
- No immediate cleanup action remains.
- Optional later hygiene: decide whether old unmerged historical branch codex/phase0-slices-3-4 should also be retired.
Blockers: None. The cleanup follow-up is merged and the latest Vercel deployment is green.
Date: 2026-03-12 (session 58)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Ran the requested repo-hygiene cleanup from isolated branch codex/repo-cleanup so the founder's intentionally dirty local checkout stayed untouched.
- Fixed the Vercel production deploy skip hazard in vercel.json:
  - replaced the old HEAD^..HEAD ignore check with a compare from VERCEL_GIT_PREVIOUS_SHA to HEAD
  - added a safe fallback that forces a build when the previous SHA is missing or unavailable instead of risking another false skip
  - preserved the existing path-based cost-control behavior for true docs-only or non-app changes
- Removed the stray local .playwright-cli/ artifact from the founder's main workspace after confirming it is not repo-tracked product code.
- Cleaned up merged remote release branches from GitHub now that their work is already contained in main:
  - deleted origin/codex/bootstrap-persistence-truth
  - deleted origin/codex/command-dispatch-timeout
  - deleted origin/codex/foundation-spine
  - deleted origin/codex/fresh-tenant-command-dispatch
  - deleted origin/codex/memory-foundation
  - deleted origin/codex/phase0-slices-1-2
  - deleted origin/codex/slack-channel-debug
  - deleted origin/codex/slack-chief-online
  - deleted origin/codex/vault-refresh-command-v1
  - deleted origin/codex/vault-refresh-recovery
- Intentionally left old unmerged branch origin/codex/phase0-slices-3-4 alone because deleting it was not necessary to fix the current production/release hygiene.
- Verified the cleanup branch diff remains limited to vercel.json plus the live tracking docs.
What's next:
- Merge codex/repo-cleanup, let Vercel pick up the safer ignore rule, and confirm the GitHub branches page now reflects only real open work.
- If desired later, retire codex/phase0-slices-3-4 in a separate explicit cleanup step.
Blockers: None for the cleanup branch itself.
Date: 2026-03-12 (session 57)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Merged the CTO-approved native-memory branch into main from an isolated release worktree so the local uncommitted main docs were not disturbed:
  - fast-forwarded the release checkout to eaf536a from codex/memory-foundation
  - pushed main
- Caught a real production-release hazard in the Vercel ignore rule:
  - commit eaf536a was the docs handoff commit at the top of the fast-forwarded stack
  - vercel.json uses git diff --quiet HEAD^ HEAD ..., so Vercel treated that top commit as docs-only and skipped the production build even though the previous commit in the same push contained code
  - created no-op formatting commit 8709e50 (chore: force production deploy for memory foundation) on vercel.json only to force the real production rebuild without changing runtime behavior
  - pushed main again and confirmed GitHub/Vercel reported deployment success for 8709e50 with target URL https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/9RtV8LqB4ajevk74hkZri1yJLV2S
- Synced Inngest after deploy:
  - PUT https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app/api/inngest
  - response 200 {"message":"Successfully registered","modified":true}
- Ran same-session production smoke for the shipped native-memory surface on active tenant vidacious-4 (6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea):
  - production alias https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app refreshed at Thu, 12 Mar 2026 08:31:12 GMT
  - direct backend truth showed tenant active, memory_native_enabled=true, memory_mem0_enabled=false, agent_tasks=5, competitors=4, vault_sections=5, and all 5 vault sections ready
  - SSH reached root@137.184.56.1 / host pixelport-vidacious-4
  - docker ps showed openclaw-gateway healthy on pixelport-openclaw:2026.3.2-chromium
  - openclaw health reported Slack ok and Agents: main (default)
  - droplet config still showed agents.defaults.memorySearch.enabled=true, provider="openai", and remote.apiKey="${MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY}"
  - droplet .env still had MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY present and MEM0_API_KEY missing
  - workspace still had MEMORY.md plus memory/{active-priorities,business-context,operating-model}.md
  - openclaw memory search "Pixie Vidacious video ads" returned MEMORY.md and memory/business-context.md
  - openclaw memory search "Canonical status snapshot recorded 5 tasks created" returned memory/active-priorities.md
- Production-smoked the merged Mem0 graceful-degradation route directly on Vercel using the real tenant agent key:
  - GET /api/agent/memory returned 200 with {enabled:false, provider:"mem0", status:"disabled", memories:[]}
  - GET /api/agent/memory?q=test-memory returned 200 with {enabled:false, provider:"mem0", status:"disabled", query:"test-memory", results:[]}
  - POST /api/agent/memory returned 409 with {code:"mem0_disabled", enabled:false, provider:"mem0"} instead of a raw config 500
- Updated the native-memory QA/build docs so the repo now records the actual merge, deploy, forced rebuild nuance, and production smoke evidence.
What's next:
- No immediate release action remains for the native-memory foundation itself.
- Follow up separately on the Vercel ignore rule so stacked docs commits cannot accidentally suppress real production deploys again.
Blockers: None for the memory release. Operational follow-up only: the current vercel.json ignore rule can skip a real main deploy when the top pushed commit is docs-only.
Date: 2026-03-12 (session 55)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Applied the two CTO-required pre-commit fixes on codex/memory-foundation after the review verdict of APPROVED — commit and merge after 2 pre-commit fixes:
  - added .playwright-cli/ to .gitignore so the local Playwright CLI artifact will not be committed
  - documented the bundled out-of-scope api/inngest/index.ts change that adds optional INNGEST_SERVE_HOST support to serve(...)
- Verified .playwright-cli/ now appears as ignored in git status --ignored.
- Created the first real implementation commit for the memory branch:
  - commit a6b29af — feat: add native memory foundation
- Pushed codex/memory-foundation to origin and confirmed the remote branch is now available for PR/review flow.
What's next:
- Merge codex/memory-foundation to main.
- Monitor deploy and run the planned production smoke for the shipped native-memory behavior in the same release session.
Blockers: No blocker remains on the branch itself. Release execution is still pending because the branch is committed and pushed but not yet merged/deployed.

What was done:
- Recovered the stuck execution thread 019ce06d-bcfe-7df2-8939-8aefaa07441e from local Codex session storage and resumed from the actual live branch/runtime state instead of the stale blocked docs.
- Re-ran the live native-memory proof on repaired tenant vidacious-4 (6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea, droplet 557399795 / 137.184.56.1):
  - SSH reached root@137.184.56.1
  - docker ps showed openclaw-gateway on pixelport-openclaw:2026.3.2-chromium healthy
  - docker exec openclaw-gateway openclaw --version returned 2026.3.2
  - openclaw health reported Slack ok and the main agent available
  - agents.defaults.memorySearch was present with provider: "openai" and remote.apiKey: "${MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY}"
  - .env had MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY present and MEM0_API_KEY absent
  - the workspace contained MEMORY.md plus memory/{active-priorities,business-context,operating-model}.md
  - openclaw memory search "Pixie Vidacious video ads" returned hits from MEMORY.md and memory/business-context.md
  - openclaw memory search "Canonical status snapshot recorded 5 tasks created" returned memory/active-priorities.md
- Re-ran the fresh-tenant inheritance proof on canary linear-memory-canary-r2 (267c3eac-5824-4f8b-a3e6-777b4d26f933, droplet 557679536 / 167.172.155.156) before cleanup:
  - tenant status was active
  - settings showed memory_native_enabled=true and memory_mem0_enabled=false
  - gateway health succeeded, memorySearch config was present, MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY was present, MEM0_API_KEY was absent, and the native-memory scaffold files existed
  - openclaw memory search "Chief Orbit Website linear.app" returned MEMORY.md
  - openclaw memory search "Current strategic priorities" returned memory/active-priorities.md
  - truthful backend counts at capture time were vault_sections=5, agent_tasks=0, competitors=0, workspace_events=0, sessions_log=0
  - recorded the non-blocking caveat that this canary proved native-memory inheritance and indexing, but not dashboard/task write completeness in the local runtime
- Cleaned up the disposable canary completely:
  - deleted droplet 557679536
  - deleted tenant-linked rows in the FK-safe order from the CTO brief (only vault_sections=5 and agents=1 existed; all earlier tables were already 0)
  - deleted tenant row 267c3eac-5824-4f8b-a3e6-777b4d26f933
  - deleted auth user 6045dabe-9c11-44e6-832c-73c818e25469 / codex.memory.canary.1773297172884@example.com
  - confirmed DigitalOcean GET on droplet 557679536 returned 404
  - confirmed no remaining tenant rows matched linear-memory-canary% and auth lookup returned User not found
- Documented the small out-of-scope operational diff in api/inngest/index.ts:
  - adds optional INNGEST_SERVE_HOST pass-through to serve(...)
  - unrelated to native memory behavior
  - harmless enough to keep bundled in this branch as an operational improvement, but should be committed with explicit awareness that it is not part of the memory foundation scope
- Updated the memory QA and CTO handoff docs so the branch artifacts now reflect the repaired live state, the proven searchable layout, the canary caveat, and the completed cleanup.
What's next:
- Submit codex/memory-foundation for CTO review using docs/build-briefs/2026-03-12-memory-foundation-cto-prompt.md.
- After CTO approval, merge/deploy the branch and run the planned production smoke for the shipped memory behavior.
Blockers: No implementation blocker remains. Merge is waiting on CTO review. Non-blocking caveat: the disposable canary proved native-memory inheritance and searchable indexing, but its local runtime did not complete task/competitor/workspace-event writes before cleanup.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Started the approved high-risk execution branch codex/memory-foundation from main without resetting the existing local doc edits.
- Reused the recovered planning brief and re-verified the live vidacious-4 baseline on droplet 137.184.56.1:
  - host reachable as root
  - container openclaw-gateway healthy on image pixelport-openclaw:2026.3.2-chromium
  - openclaw --version returned 2026.3.2
  - current workspace had no MEMORY.md and no memory/ directory
  - droplet .env still used the LiteLLM OPENAI_API_KEY and did not yet contain MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY or MEM0_API_KEY
  - live bundle inspection confirmed the intended agents.defaults.memorySearch path accepts provider: "openai" and remote.apiKey
- Implemented the repo-side native-memory foundation:
  - added shared tenant-memory settings resolution/defaulting via api/lib/tenant-memory-settings.ts
  - wired default flat settings into tenant creation and debug test-tenant creation
  - updated provisioning to fail fast when native memory is enabled without MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY, inject the new env var, and emit the validated memorySearch config fragment
  - extended workspace scaffolding and guidance with MEMORY.md, memory/business-context.md, memory/operating-model.md, and memory/active-priorities.md
  - added the minimal onboarding bootstrap requirement to refresh native memory after canonical truth changes
  - changed /api/agent/memory so Mem0-disabled or unavailable states degrade cleanly instead of returning raw config 500s
- Added focused coverage for:
  - tenant-memory settings resolution/defaulting
  - provisioning config emission
  - native-memory scaffold generation and guidance
  - onboarding bootstrap message scope
  - Mem0 graceful degradation
- Ran local validation successfully:
  - npx vitest run src/test/tenant-memory-settings.test.ts src/test/provision-tenant-memory.test.ts src/test/onboarding-bootstrap.test.ts src/test/workspace-contract.test.ts src/test/agent-memory-route.test.ts
  - npx tsc --noEmit
- Prepared the branch artifacts:
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-12-memory-foundation.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-12-memory-foundation.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-12-memory-foundation-cto-prompt.md
What's next:
- Obtain the real MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY.
- Repair live tenant vidacious-4 in-session, reindex native memory, and prove what is actually searchable before finalizing the shipped memory layout.
- Run one fresh-tenant canary with FK-safe cleanup, then update the QA docs and hand off for CTO review.
Blockers: Live repair, searchable-memory proof, and the required fresh-tenant canary are blocked until the founder provides MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY.
Date: 2026-03-12 (session 52)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Recovered the stalled Q&A/planning thread 019cc9f4-89be-75b0-9b4a-913be98f6225 directly from local Codex session storage at /Users/sanchal/.codex/sessions/2026/03/07/rollout-2026-03-07T14-19-32-019cc9f4-89be-75b0-9b4a-913be98f6225.jsonl.
- Confirmed that the thread did not stop before the CTO-feedback step; it already incorporated the founder-pasted CTO review, ran live tenant/runtime verification during planning, and produced a revised execution-ready memory brief plus next-session prompt.
- Reconstructed the latest planning-state outcome from that thread:
  - topic = native memory repair + optional Mem0 activation
  - target current tenant = vidacious-4 (6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea)
  - verified live droplet IP = 137.184.56.1
  - verified live OpenClaw version = 2026.3.2
  - verified profile: "full" already exposes memory_search / memory_get
  - verified native memory is currently failing because the tenant has no MEMORY.md, no memory/ corpus, and native memory defaults to direct OpenAI embeddings while the current tenant OPENAI_API_KEY is a LiteLLM virtual key, producing 401
  - locked planning direction = standard OpenClaw paths (MEMORY.md + memory/**/*.md), flat tenant settings keys, direct MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY for native embeddings, Mem0 optional/off-by-default, current-tenant repair plus future-tenant inheritance
- Checked repo/git state and found no evidence that the recovered codex/memory-foundation brief was later executed or merged; the recovered artifact remains planning-only.
What's next:
- Use the recovered memory brief as the resume point if the founder still wants to tackle native memory next.
- If execution is approved, start a separate high-risk build session from main, create branch codex/memory-foundation, and use the recovered next-session prompt rather than re-planning from scratch.
Blockers: No blocker for the recovery itself. The future implementation session will still need MEMORY_OPENAI_API_KEY, and MEM0_API_KEY only if optional live Mem0 validation is desired.
Date: 2026-03-11 (session 51)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Received explicit founder confirmation that codex/slack-channel-debug at 7202c36 was approved to merge and deploy.
- Pushed origin/codex/slack-channel-debug, fast-forwarded main to 7202c36, and pushed main.
- Monitored the GitHub/Vercel integration for commit 7202c36 and confirmed the production deployment reached success with Vercel target URL https://vercel.com/sanchalrs-projects/pixelport-launchpad/6zyqSS8epF3M6dU3zUdg2mqeUozz.
- Ran same-session production smoke focused on the shipped Slack-only surface for tenant vidacious-4 (6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea):
  - production debug endpoint GET /api/debug/slack-status returned 200 and showed tenant vidacious-4 active on droplet 137.184.56.1
  - production debug truth showed exactly one active slack_connections row for Analog workspace TS7V7KT35
  - direct Supabase verification still showed the full 13-scope install set on that single active row
  - droplet /opt/openclaw/openclaw.json still contained the intended Slack config including groupPolicy: "open"
  - runtime logs still showed the hot-reloaded Slack channel healthy with socket mode connected
  - droplet session-store evidence still proved the real invited-channel reply in #vidacious-new-registrations:
    - initial mention <@U0AJE9BSERZ> there?
    - assistant reply Yep — I’m here. What do you need?
    - same thread captured under channel C0A9C605ELD
- Updated the live docs to reflect that the branch is merged, deployed, and production-smoked.
What's next:
- No immediate follow-up is required for this Slack-only fix.
- Keep the earlier Slack Web API/private-channel enumeration mismatch as a non-blocking diagnostic nuance unless it causes a future operational issue.
Blockers: None for this fix. The code is merged, deployed, and production-smoked.
Date: 2026-03-11 (session 50)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read the governing docs, started from main, and created branch codex/slack-channel-debug for a Slack-only diagnostic/fix session.
- Re-verified the live production control-plane truth for the active tenant vidacious-4 (6c6ae22c-d682-4af6-83ff-79913d267aea):
  - tenant active
  - droplet 557399795 / 137.184.56.1
  - exactly one active slack_connections row for Analog workspace TS7V7KT35
  - all 13 required Slack bot scopes present on that row
- Re-verified the live runtime truth on 137.184.56.1:
  - image pixelport-openclaw:2026.3.2-chromium
  - OpenClaw 2026.3.2
  - gateway health 200
  - Slack Socket Mode connected
- Isolated the active root cause as an OpenClaw 2026.3.2 Slack policy default, not Slack app config or workspace collision:
  - founder confirmed Event Subscriptions stayed enabled with app_mention, message.channels, message.groups, and message.im
  - live container resolved channels.slack.groupPolicy = allowlist
  - no Slack channel allowlist was configured
  - result fit the observed production truth exactly: DM worked while invited-channel traffic failed
- Implemented the minimum repo fix on codex/slack-channel-debug:
  - updated api/lib/slack-activation.ts so activation writes explicit groupPolicy: "open" and treats configs missing that field as stale
  - updated api/inngest/functions/activate-slack.ts to verify groupPolicy from the droplet config
  - expanded src/test/slack-activation.test.ts with the new helper expectations and a regression proving the old DM-only config is no longer treated as current
- Re-ran local Slack validation:
  - npx vitest run src/test/slack-activation.test.ts src/test/slack-connection.test.ts src/test/slack-install-route.test.ts src/test/slack-callback-route.test.ts src/test/connections-route.test.ts src/pages/dashboard/Connections.test.tsx
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - both passed
- Applied the same explicit config correction directly on the active production droplet for live proof without touching onboarding/provisioning/baseline code:
  - backup created at /opt/openclaw/openclaw.json.bak.20260311-045843
  - channels.slack.groupPolicy changed to open
  - hot reload restarted the Slack channel cleanly and reconnected Socket Mode
- Completed real production validation with founder participation:
  - founder-provided screenshot showed Pixel replying in private channel #vidacious-new-registrations
  - droplet session-store truth proved the active runtime processed that exact channel thread on channel C0A9C605ELD
  - session file 830f9a38-9330-4a44-84f6-59df5acf7bcd.jsonl captured the initial mention <@U0AJE9BSERZ> there? and Pixel’s reply Yep — I’m here. What do you need?
  - follow-up thread session cf001847-93a2-4eab-ad2b-56fa86db2a5b-topic-1773205571.525419.jsonl captured the later thread replies in the same channel
- Prepared the Slack-only review artifacts:
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-11-slack-channel-debug.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-11-slack-channel-debug.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-11-slack-channel-debug-cto-prompt.md
What's next:
- Submit codex/slack-channel-debug for CTO review using docs/build-briefs/2026-03-11-slack-channel-debug-cto-prompt.md.
- Do not merge until CTO review is complete and explicitly approved.
- After CTO approval, merge/deploy the branch so the explicit groupPolicy: "open" behavior is codified in production rather than relying on the manual droplet correction for vidacious-4.
Blockers: No blocker remains on the active root cause. Merge is waiting on CTO review. One non-blocking diagnostic nuance remains: Slack Web API enumeration with the bot token did not surface the private validation channel even though the live runtime session store and founder screenshot proved the channel-thread replies.
Date: 2026-03-10 (session 49)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Received final CTO approval for codex/slack-chief-online at commit cc68614, merged the branch into main as merge commit 3b6b401, and pushed main.
- Monitored deployment through the GitHub/Vercel integration and confirmed the Vercel status for commit 3b6b401 reached success.
- Ran same-session production Slack smoke on stable QA tenant bootstrap-truth-qa-20260310054029 (39a234b7-3ca5-4668-af9f-b188f2e5ec34, droplet 142.93.117.18) without touching any provisioning/baseline flow:
  - production /api/connections showed Slack not_connected
  - production POST /api/connections/slack/install returned the expected 13-scope authorize URL
  - droplet health on 142.93.117.18:18789 was 200
  - droplet Slack config was absent before install, as expected
- Because the founder did not have QA dashboard credentials, used the controlled QA auth fixture to mint a direct production Slack authorize URL for the same tenant, and the founder completed the real Analog install from that URL.
- Verified production install truth after callback:
  - new slack_connections row created for tenant 39a234b7-3ca5-4668-af9f-b188f2e5ec34
  - team_id = TS7V7KT35
  - all 13 required scopes present
  - installer_user_id = U02FN3RU0KV
  - dashboard truth showed connected: true, active: false, status: activating
- Observed one production dispatch issue during smoke:
  - activation did not begin immediately after install
  - production /api/inngest was then registered out-of-band with PUT /api/inngest
  - resent pixelport/slack.connected once against the already-created production row
  - activation then completed successfully
- Verified production activation truth after the resend:
  - slack_connections.is_active = true
  - dashboard truth moved to status: active
  - /opt/openclaw/openclaw.json on 142.93.117.18 contained the intended Slack config:
    - dmPolicy: open
    - allowFrom: ["*"]
    - replyToMode: first
    - configWrites: false
- Founder completed the live Slack behavior check in Analog:
  - welcome DM delivered, though duplicate welcome text was observed during the smoke after the manual resend
  - direct DM reply from Pixel passed
  - invited-channel behavior did not pass cleanly
- Confirmed the invited-channel failure is a real workspace collision risk, not a missing-scope/runtime-config problem:
  - old tenants vidacious and vidacious-1 still have active slack_connections rows for the same Analog workspace TS7V7KT35
  - both old rows still use the earlier 8-scope install set
  - in the invited channel #vidacious-bot, another existing Analog-linked app (Florence by Pocodot) replied instead of the newly activated Pixel tenant
What's next:
- Stop before any remediation that deactivates old Analog Slack rows or changes same-workspace routing strategy.
- Open a separate Slack-only follow-up if the founder wants invited-channel behavior fixed for shared-workspace collisions.
- That follow-up must decide, explicitly, how PixelPort should handle multiple active tenants installed into the same Slack workspace.
Blockers: Production DM path is working, but invited-channel behavior is blocked by confirmed same-workspace tenant collisions on Analog. Fixing that requires a separate explicit founder-approved Slack follow-up before making any data/routing changes.
Date: 2026-03-10 (session 48)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Applied the single CTO-required pre-merge fix on codex/slack-chief-online after the review verdict of APPROVED with 1 required fix.
- Updated activate-slack.ts so the send-slack-welcome-dm step is fully best-effort:
  - wrapped the entire welcome DM attempt in try/catch
  - preserved mark-slack-active as the activation gate
  - ensured Slack network failures or non-JSON responses now log and return a failed DM result instead of failing the whole Inngest function
- Expanded slack-activation.test.ts with a focused function-level regression test proving activation still returns success when Slack welcome DM parsing throws on an HTML response.
- Re-ran the exact CTO-requested verification:
  - npx vitest run src/test/slack-activation.test.ts
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - both passed
- Updated the Slack QA evidence and active plan to record that the required review fix is complete and the branch is ready for merge/deploy once the founder wants to proceed with the approved post-deploy production Slack QA.
What's next:
- Merge codex/slack-chief-online only when ready to immediately deploy and run the controlled production Slack QA on tenant bootstrap-truth-qa-20260310054029.
- After deploy, run the founder-led production Slack check:
  - connect Slack from the real dashboard
  - send one DM
  - invite the Chief into one disposable test channel
  - verify dashboard truth, Supabase truth, droplet Slack config truth, welcome DM, DM reply, and invited-channel reply
Blockers: No code blocker remains from CTO review. Merge/deploy is still waiting on explicit release execution and the planned founder-led production Slack QA.
Date: 2026-03-10 (session 47)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read the governing docs, stayed on branch codex/slack-chief-online from commit 1ed362e, and explicitly pivoted away from the abandoned vercel dev + localtunnel + local Inngest Slack QA path.
- Re-audited the recovered Slack branch against main and confirmed the branch diff still stays inside the approved Slack slice:
  - api/agent/capabilities.ts
  - api/connections/index.ts
  - api/connections/slack/callback.ts
  - api/connections/slack/install.ts
  - api/inngest/functions/activate-slack.ts
  - api/lib/slack-activation.ts
  - api/lib/slack-connection.ts
  - src/pages/dashboard/Connections.tsx
  - src/pages/dashboard/Home.tsx
  - Slack tests and session/build docs only
- Reconfirmed the frozen baseline stayed untouched:
  - api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts was not modified
  - no fresh-tenant reprovisioning was run
  - no tenant creation, droplet bootstrap, durable bootstrap truth, or existing dashboard read truth file was changed
- Kept the only new code change strictly Slack-only:
  - hardened Slack install/callback redirect generation to normalize multi-value x-forwarded-proto headers before building callback URLs
  - added focused route coverage in src/test/slack-callback-route.test.ts
  - added matching install-route coverage in src/test/slack-install-route.test.ts
- Removed the stray .playwright-cli/ local artifact directory so the working tree stayed limited to the Slack code/test/docs delta.
- Rewrote the Slack handoff artifacts to match the new execution strategy:
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-10-slack-chief-online.md
  - docs/qa/2026-03-10-slack-chief-online.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-10-slack-chief-online-cto-prompt.md
  - all now treat the branch as code-review-ready first, with controlled production Slack QA deferred until after CTO approval, merge, and deploy on the stable QA tenant bootstrap-truth-qa-20260310054029 (39a234b7-3ca5-4668-af9f-b188f2e5ec34)
- Committed and pushed the review-ready branch state:
  - 6b9ba1d (fix: normalize slack oauth proxy redirects)
  - e4af10c (docs: prep slack chief online review)
  - pushed origin/codex/slack-chief-online
- Ran the targeted Slack validation on the branch:
  - npx vitest run src/test/slack-connection.test.ts src/test/slack-install-route.test.ts src/test/slack-callback-route.test.ts src/test/connections-route.test.ts src/test/slack-activation.test.ts src/pages/dashboard/Connections.test.tsx
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - both passed
What's next:
- Submit codex/slack-chief-online for CTO review using docs/build-briefs/2026-03-10-slack-chief-online-cto-prompt.md.
- Do not merge or deploy until CTO review is complete.
- After CTO approval, merge and deploy, then run controlled production Slack QA on the stable QA tenant with the founder:
  - founder completes Slack connect from the real dashboard
  - founder sends one DM
  - founder invites the Chief into one disposable test channel
  - verify dashboard truth, Supabase truth, droplet Slack config truth, welcome DM, DM reply, and invited-channel reply
- If production Slack QA finds a real bug, fix it narrowly on the Slack branch or immediate follow-up Slack-only branch.
Blockers: Waiting on CTO review before merge/deploy. Controlled live Slack QA now intentionally waits until after deployment and founder participation on production.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read AGENTS.md, docs/SESSION-LOG.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, docs/build-workflow.md, and docs/qa-policy.md, then treated the session as a rescue/cleanup pass for broken Slack thread 019cd686-bfed-79d2-8bda-2e2813097f5a.
- Audited the dirty local main diff and classified the touched files into:
  - Slack-scoped: api/agent/capabilities.ts, api/connections/index.ts, api/connections/slack/callback.ts, api/connections/slack/install.ts, api/inngest/functions/activate-slack.ts, api/lib/slack-activation.ts, api/lib/slack-connection.ts, src/pages/dashboard/Connections.tsx, src/pages/dashboard/Home.tsx, src/pages/dashboard/Connections.test.tsx, src/test/connections-route.test.ts, src/test/slack-activation.test.ts, src/test/slack-connection.test.ts, src/test/slack-install-route.test.ts
  - validated-baseline contamination: api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts, api/lib/provisioning-env.ts, src/test/provision-tenant.test.ts
  - unrelated tooling noise checkpointed only on the rescue branch: .playwright-cli/*, tools/mcp/github-mcp.sh, tools/mcp/playwright-mcp.sh
- Proved the provisioning-side change was contamination rather than a Slack requirement:
  - the dirty provision-tenant diff removed SLACK_APP_TOKEN from /opt/openclaw/.env
  - the same dirty Slack activation flow still writes appToken: \${SLACK_APP_TOKEN}`` into the OpenClaw Slack config and depends on the gateway container receiving that env var
  - result: a fresh tenant provisioned with the dirty provisioning diff would lose the app token needed for Slack Socket Mode, so the broken fresh-tenant/provisioning failure was caused by baseline contamination, not by a necessary Slack-only change
- Preserved the full dirty state on new branch codex/slack-rescue and committed it as 1b7883a (chore: checkpoint slack rescue state) so nothing from the broken session was lost.
- Switched to codex/slack-chief-online, restored only the Slack-scoped files from the rescue branch, and committed the isolated Slack work as 664010a (feat: recover slack chief online flow).
- Kept the validated provisioning/bootstrap paths frozen on the Slack branch by excluding all provisioning/env helper changes from codex/slack-chief-online.
- Ran targeted local validation only on the recovered Slack branch:
  - npx vitest run src/test/slack-connection.test.ts src/test/slack-install-route.test.ts src/test/connections-route.test.ts src/test/slack-activation.test.ts src/pages/dashboard/Connections.test.tsx
  - npx tsc --noEmit
- Did not run a fresh-tenant provisioning canary, did not merge, and did not deploy.
What's next:
- Start the real Slack execution session from branch codex/slack-chief-online at commit 664010a.
- Treat codex/slack-rescue commit 1b7883a as the full forensic checkpoint if anything from the broken session needs to be re-checked.
- Keep api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts and other validated bootstrap/provisioning paths identical to main unless a future Slack session can prove a specific Slack requirement and gets explicit approval for that deviation.
Blockers: No code blocker for the rescue itself. End-to-end Slack QA still requires a separate controlled integration session and any needed founder-provided Slack access.
Date: 2026-03-10 (session 45)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read AGENTS.md, docs/SESSION-LOG.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, docs/build-workflow.md, and docs/qa-policy.md, then executed the founder-approved high-risk bootstrap truth fix on branch codex/bootstrap-persistence-truth.
- Implemented the narrow onboarding/runtime fix:
  - updated api/lib/workspace-contract.ts so generated TOOLS.md no longer tells the runtime to source /opt/openclaw/.env from inside the container
  - switched the generated tooling contract to rely on already-injected runtime env vars and added fail-fast checks for PIXELPORT_API_KEY plus direct-model env vars where needed
  - replaced the old implicit single-write completion behavior in api/lib/bootstrap-state.ts with durable bootstrap evaluation based on real backend truth
  - updated /api/agent/tasks, /api/agent/competitors, and /api/agent/vault/:key so successful writes only complete bootstrap after durable criteria are satisfied
  - updated /api/tenants/me, /api/tenants/status, and /api/tenants/bootstrap so partial-output tenants stay truthful as dispatching or accepted, can fail only on clear timeout/error, and do not get treated as completed solely because some agent output exists
- Added targeted coverage for the new truth rules and runtime contract:
  - src/test/bootstrap-state.test.ts
  - src/test/tenants-status-route.test.ts
  - src/test/tenants-bootstrap-route.test.ts
  - src/test/agent-bootstrap-sync-route.test.ts
  - updated src/test/workspace-contract.test.ts
- Validation passed on the branch:
  - npx vitest run src/test/bootstrap-state.test.ts src/test/tenants-status-route.test.ts src/test/tenants-bootstrap-route.test.ts src/test/agent-bootstrap-sync-route.test.ts src/test/workspace-contract.test.ts

  - npx tsc --noEmit
- Ran a real fresh-tenant canary against the branch code through local vercel dev and the live control plane:
  - QA auth email: codex.bootstrap.truth.20260310053742@example.com
  - tenant slug: bootstrap-truth-qa-20260310054029
  - tenant id: 39a234b7-3ca5-4668-af9f-b188f2e5ec34
  - droplet id: 557163621
  - droplet ip: 142.93.117.18
  - observed truthful in-progress state while durable output was incomplete:
    - bootstrap_status: accepted
    - tasks: 0
    - competitors: 0
    - vault_ready: 2/5
  - observed truthful durable completion on the same tenant:
    - bootstrap_status: completed
    - tasks: 5
    - competitors: 4
    - vault_ready: 5/5
  - adjacent authenticated reads stayed healthy throughout:
    - /api/tenants/me
    - /api/tenants/status
    - /api/tasks
    - /api/vault
    - /api/competitors
- Recorded the formal branch handoff artifacts:
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-10-bootstrap-persistence-truth.md
  - docs/build-briefs/2026-03-10-bootstrap-persistence-truth-cto-prompt.md
- Received Claude CTO review for codex/bootstrap-persistence-truth; verdict was APPROVED with no required code changes before merge.
- Corrected the local branch workflow state after the review:
  - moved the uncommitted fix off local main and onto codex/bootstrap-persistence-truth
  - committed the approved implementation as 5fb577a (Fix bootstrap persistence truth)
  - pushed origin/codex/bootstrap-persistence-truth
- Merged the approved branch into main as merge commit 63d4585 and pushed main to GitHub.
- Monitored the production Vercel deployment:
  - deployment id dpl_95ZcsYCvVvbkduyDcYUm9FFUv9Vy
  - production alias https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app
  - deployment reached Ready
- Ran same-session production smoke on the live alias using the controlled QA tenant from the fresh canary:
  - tenant slug: bootstrap-truth-qa-20260310054029
  - tenant id: 39a234b7-3ca5-4668-af9f-b188f2e5ec34
  - confirmed live authenticated 200 responses from:
    - /api/tenants/me
    - /api/tenants/status
    - /api/tasks
    - /api/vault
    - /api/competitors
  - confirmed live production truth matched Supabase exactly:
    - tenant status: active
    - bootstrap status: completed
    - tasks: 5
    - competitors: 4
    - vault_ready: 5/5
  - confirmed the production tenant retained the intended durable bootstrap timestamps:
    - requested_at: 2026-03-10T05:46:21.999Z
    - accepted_at: 2026-03-10T05:46:22.917Z
    - completed_at: 2026-03-10T05:47:38.491Z
What's next:
- Treat bootstrap persistence and truthfulness as shipped to production.
- If the founder wants analog-2 repaired, open a separate approved post-deploy repair session rather than extending this shipped fix session.
- Watch for any read-path latency regression from bootstrap reconciliation on /api/tenants/me and /api/tenants/status; optimize later only if it becomes a real dashboard issue.
Blockers: None for this shipped fix. Any analog-2 replay/repair remains a separate approval step.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Received Claude CTO review for codex/vault-refresh-recovery; verdict was APPROVED with no required fixes before merge.
- Pushed the reviewed branch commit f7eb96e to origin/codex/vault-refresh-recovery.
- Synced local main to the current remote origin/main, which had picked up two unrelated landing-page copy commits on src/components/landing/HeroSection.tsx, then merged codex/vault-refresh-recovery into main as merge commit 13f3d81 without changing the reviewed stale-recovery code.
- Re-ran post-merge validation on main before release:
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - npx vitest run src/test/vault-refresh-recovery.test.ts src/test/commands-route.test.ts src/test/command-detail-route.test.ts src/test/workspace-events-route.test.ts src/pages/dashboard/Vault.test.tsx
- Pushed main to GitHub and monitored the production Vercel deployment:
  - deployment id dpl_89X7zuMu124Fj5wrSGLDsTw1Nbut
  - production alias https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app
  - deployment reached Ready
- Ran same-session production smoke on the live alias using the real QA tenant vault-refresh-qa-20260309 (1e45c138-0eca-4f08-a93e-ca817dced78b):
  - confirmed the live Vault page loads correctly for the QA tenant on production
  - confirmed GET /api/commands?command_type=vault_refresh&limit=10 returns the additive stale field and that GET /api/commands/:id also returns the additive stale field
  - triggered a real production products refresh from the live Vault page, which created command 93c2a749-da91-43ee-9d99-eaeb296a427c
  - confirmed the live UI showed Refresh requested, disabled all Refresh with Chief buttons during the healthy active refresh, and re-enabled them after completion
  - confirmed a second production refresh request during that active run reused the in-flight command with reuse_reason: "active_command_type"
  - confirmed the active production command reached completed with correlated workspace_events:
    - command.acknowledged
    - command.running
    - runtime.artifact.promoted
    - command.completed
  - confirmed adjacent authenticated live reads remained healthy with 200:
    - /api/tenants/me
    - /api/tenants/status
    - /api/tasks
    - /api/vault
    - /api/competitors
- Recorded the release result in the repo docs.
What's next:
- Treat Vault refresh stale recovery as shipped to production.
- Keep the single-active tenant-wide Vault refresh guard and the new stale-recovery logic in place as the baseline before any broader command-backed dashboard expansion.
- Resume the next approved Phase 3 priority from the product roadmap or next founder-approved build brief.
Blockers: None for Vault refresh recovery. The release is merged, deployed, and production-smoked.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read AGENTS.md, docs/SESSION-LOG.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, docs/build-workflow.md, docs/qa-policy.md, docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-workspace-canonical-architecture.md, and docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-vault-refresh-command-v1.md, then executed the approved high-risk hardening build on branch codex/vault-refresh-recovery.
- Implemented stale non-terminal vault_refresh recovery without changing the healthy tenant-wide single-active guard:
  - added api/lib/vault-refresh-recovery.ts to classify only non-terminal vault_refresh commands against real command ledger timestamps, correlated workspace_events, and current vault_sections truth
  - marked commands stale only when one of the approved rules is true:
    - target vault section is already ready and at least 60 seconds newer than the command's latest activity
    - pending or dispatched command has no acknowledgement 10 minutes after latest activity
    - acknowledged or running command has no command/workspace activity for 15 minutes
  - stale repair now marks the old command failed, records a human-readable last_error, stamps failed_at, and appends a command_events row with event_type: "stale_recovered" plus the stale reasoning payload
- Extended the existing command APIs additively:
  - GET /api/commands now accepts optional command_type and returns per-command stale metadata
  - GET /api/commands/:id now returns the same additive stale metadata
  - POST /api/commands now auto-recovers stale non-terminal vault_refresh rows before the reuse decision, preserves the healthy tenant-wide reuse path, and returns additive recovered_stale_commands when repair occurred
- Updated the Knowledge Vault page so stale rows are shown truthfully as Refresh stalled instead of active:
  - stale rows clear the persisted active-command local storage
  - Refresh with Chief stays enabled for the founder-approved retry-directly flow
  - healthy active refreshes still disable all section refresh buttons exactly as before
- Added and updated tests for stale classification, command list/detail routes, auto-repair before command creation, reuse of a healthy tenant-wide active refresh, and Vault UI stalled-state behavior.
- Local validation passed on the branch:
  - npx vitest run src/test/vault-refresh-recovery.test.ts src/test/commands-route.test.ts src/test/command-detail-route.test.ts src/test/workspace-events-route.test.ts src/pages/dashboard/Vault.test.tsx
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - targeted npx eslint across the touched API, helper, and Vault files
- Real QA validation passed against the existing tenant vault-refresh-qa-20260309 (1e45c138-0eca-4f08-a93e-ca817dced78b) using the branch locally and the real tenant runtime:
  - the old stuck brand_voice row 2a351c7d-15b4-42f7-aca7-11b171072fa8 surfaced in the UI as Refresh stalled, not as an actively running refresh
  - clicking Refresh with Chief on brand_voice auto-repaired that stale row to failed, wrote command_events.event_type = "stale_recovered", and created new command 638686d1-a31b-4d9f-9d5d-99e506d0300f
  - the new command advanced through dispatched -> acknowledged -> running -> completed, with correlated workspace_events for command.acknowledged, command.running, runtime.artifact.promoted, and command.completed
  - vault_sections.brand_voice remained truthful and updated to the refreshed ready content visible on the Vault page
  - while the new refresh was genuinely active, a second section refresh request correctly reused it with reuse_reason: "active_command_type"
  - adjacent authenticated reads remained healthy on the same tenant: /api/tenants/me, /api/tenants/status, /api/tasks, /api/vault, and /api/competitors
- Added the execution brief at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-vault-refresh-recovery.md and the CTO review prompt at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-vault-refresh-recovery-cto-prompt.md.
What's next:
- Submit branch codex/vault-refresh-recovery for CTO review using the new handoff prompt.
- Do not merge or deploy this branch until CTO review is complete and approved.
- After approval, merge to main, deploy, and run same-session production smoke focused on stale false positives, guard preservation, and truthful Vault UI behavior.
Blockers: Waiting on CTO review before merge/deploy. No additional founder decision is needed for this slice because the retry-directly UX was already approved.
Date: 2026-03-09 (session 42)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Merged the CTO-approved codex/vault-refresh-command-v1 branch to main and deployed the live Knowledge Vault refresh flow.
- Ran same-session production smoke on https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app and found a real Vercel serverless regression in POST /api/commands / GET /api/commands:
  - production returned 500 FUNCTION_INVOCATION_FAILED
  - Vercel logs showed ERR_REQUIRE_ESM because server code was importing the shared vault contract from outside api/
- Shipped the first production hotfix on main:
  - moved the shared vault contract to api/lib/vault-contract.ts
  - updated all server and dashboard imports to the new location
  - validated locally with npx tsc --noEmit, targeted npx eslint, and focused Vitest
  - deployed hotfix commit 9339ba4 and confirmed production POST /api/commands was restored
- Re-ran live production Vault refresh smoke on the real QA tenant vault-refresh-qa-20260309 (1e45c138-0eca-4f08-a93e-ca817dced78b) and found one more real overlap bug:
  - an API-triggered products refresh completed correctly as command 3c4644b3-6d66-41b8-a0f5-61806fa8ae5f
  - a second overlapping dashboard-triggered brand_voice refresh updated live vault truth and the droplet snapshot, but its command ledger entry 2a351c7d-15b4-42f7-aca7-11b171072fa8 remained stuck at dispatched
- Asked the founder for the product decision on overlap handling; founder approved option B: only one Vault refresh may be active per tenant at a time.
- Shipped the follow-up production guard on main in commit 33b75d1:
  - changed vault_refresh reuse policy from section-scoped to tenant-scoped
  - added additive reuse_reason: "active_command_type" when another vault refresh is already active for the tenant
  - updated browser storage and Vault page state so only one active refresh command is persisted per tenant
  - disabled all Refresh with Chief buttons while any tenant-wide vault refresh is active
  - taught the page to discover an existing active vault refresh on load through GET /api/commands?limit=10 and continue polling the actual active command
  - added route and Vault UI test coverage for the cross-section overlap case
- Final local validation for the overlap guard passed:
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - targeted npx eslint
  - vitest run src/test/command-definitions.test.ts src/test/commands-route.test.ts src/pages/dashboard/Vault.test.tsx
- Final production validation for the overlap guard passed on the same live QA tenant:
  - existing stuck command 2a351c7d-15b4-42f7-aca7-11b171072fa8 remained visible as the tenant's active brand_voice refresh
  - POST /api/commands for products returned 200 with reuse_reason: "active_command_type" and reused the existing brand_voice command instead of creating another row
  - the live Vault page loaded GET /api/commands?limit=10 plus GET /api/commands/:id, surfaced the active brand_voice refresh, and disabled all five Refresh with Chief buttons
  - adjacent production reads remained healthy during smoke
What's next:
- Leave the single-active tenant guard in place for Vault refreshes.
- Add stale non-terminal command recovery or operator repair before expanding command-backed UX to broader dashboard surfaces, because old stuck commands can now intentionally block new refreshes for that tenant.
Blockers: No blocker remains for the shipped production guard. One follow-up hardening gap remains: recovery for stale non-terminal command rows created before or outside the new guard.

- Implemented the first typed product command on top of the additive command spine:
  - added shared vault section contract helpers in src/lib/vault-contract.ts
  - added typed command-definition resolution in api/lib/command-definitions.ts
  - extended POST /api/commands to canonicalize and validate vault_refresh plus reuse active same-target commands with additive reuse_reason
  - kept existing /api/vault, /api/agent/vault*, /api/tasks/*, and current dashboard read paths intact
- Extended the runtime contract for fresh tenants and command dispatch guidance:
  - updated api/lib/command-contract.ts
  - updated api/lib/workspace-contract.ts
  - kept execution grounded in the existing hook path plus correlated workspace-events
- Implemented the Knowledge Vault UI flow in src/pages/dashboard/Vault.tsx:
  - section-level Refresh with Chief on ready sections
  - tenant-id-plus-section keyed browser persistence for active command IDs
  - inline per-section progress and failure state while existing content stays visible
  - section-scoped disablement of Edit and Refresh with Chief during active refresh
  - success refetch and state clear on terminal completion
- Added and updated tests for the new command definition, route behavior, workspace scaffold guidance, command contract, and Vault page UI state.
- Local validation passed on the implementation branch:
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - targeted npx eslint
  - npm test -- src/test/command-contract.test.ts src/test/command-definitions.test.ts src/test/commands-route.test.ts src/test/workspace-contract.test.ts src/pages/dashboard/Vault.test.tsx
- Ran a fresh-tenant end-to-end canary against the branch code using the real control plane and runtime:
  - created a brand-new QA auth user codex.vault.refresh.1773039386655@example.com
  - created tenant vault-refresh-qa-20260309 (1e45c138-0eca-4f08-a93e-ca817dced78b)
  - new droplet 556931113 / 198.199.80.171
  - verified SSH reachability, cloud-init completion, Docker install, and openclaw-gateway startup on the droplet
  - waited until bootstrap finished with real backend truth: tenant active, bootstrap.status=completed, 3 task rows, 3 competitor rows, and all 5 vault sections ready
- Validated the new vault_refresh flow end to end on that fresh tenant:
  - authenticated into the branch UI locally and triggered Refresh with Chief for company_profile
  - observed inline UI state transition from idle to Refresh requested, with existing content preserved and section actions disabled
  - confirmed command c69be644-fd37-4047-9883-512f90ff1637 was created as vault_refresh targeting vault_section:company_profile
  - confirmed command lifecycle advanced through dispatched -> acknowledged -> running -> completed
  - confirmed correlated workspace_events arrived for command.acknowledged, command.running, runtime.artifact.promoted, and command.completed
  - confirmed the runtime updated /opt/openclaw/workspace-main/pixelport/vault/snapshots/company_profile.md
  - confirmed the final vault_sections truth updated through the existing live agent vault path and the refreshed Company Profile content rendered on the Vault page
- Verified non-command behavior stayed healthy on the same fresh tenant:
  - manual edit through PUT /api/vault/brand_voice still worked and was restored cleanly
  - adjacent reads remained healthy with 200 on /api/tenants/me, /api/tenants/status, /api/tasks, /api/vault, and /api/competitors
- Created the CTO review handoff prompt at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-vault-refresh-command-v1-cto-prompt.md.
What's next:
- Merge/deploy after CTO approval and run same-session production smoke on the live Knowledge Vault flow.
Blockers: No code or validation blocker remained on the implementation branch. The remaining gate was CTO review before merge.
Date: 2026-03-09 (session 40)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then captured the founder-approved QA principle that PixelPort should validate important builds against real-world inputs instead of relying only on mocks or stale test tenants.
- Added the canonical QA guidance doc at docs/qa-policy.md.
- Defined four QA levels in the new policy:
  - local/fixture QA
  - fresh-tenant canary with real public data
  - controlled integration QA
  - production smoke
- Locked the rule that sessions may and should ask the founder for access when real integration QA needs Slack, social, analytics, inbox, OAuth, or admin-gated setup.
- Updated docs/build-workflow.md and docs/project-coordination-system.md so future sessions are pointed at the new QA policy and know they can request founder access for end-to-end integration checks when required.
- Added a matching live note to docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md.
What's next:
- Use docs/qa-policy.md as the QA standard for future build briefs and execution sessions.
- Continue the approved next build from docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-vault-refresh-command-v1.md.
Blockers: No blocker for the policy update itself. Controlled integration QA still depends on founder-provided access when those integrations are exercised end to end.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then confirmed the fresh-tenant canary result showed the timeout was only stale disposable old-tenant drift rather than a fresh-tenant provisioning/runtime bug.
- Fast-forward merged the docs-only canary result from branch codex/fresh-tenant-command-dispatch into main and pushed main so the live repo history now records the passed fresh-tenant dispatch gate.
- Prepared the next smallest real product build on top of the new foundation spine: one command-backed dashboard action instead of jumping straight into broader admin or publishing work.
- Created the next execution brief at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-vault-refresh-command-v1.md.
- Founder approved Knowledge Vault -> Refresh with Chief as the next build choice over content draft generation or competitor sweep.
- Updated docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md so the next approved build is now the first real dashboard command flow: a section-level Refresh with Chief action on the Knowledge Vault page that uses the additive command spine and existing live vault truth path.
What's next:
- Start a separate Codex execution session from docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-vault-refresh-command-v1.md.
- Keep the first command-backed product slice narrow: one bounded Vault refresh action, fresh-tenant validation, then CTO review before merge.
Blockers: No blocker for the planning/docs step. The next execution session needs a reachable fresh tenant runtime for end-to-end validation.

What was done:
- Re-read AGENTS.md, docs/SESSION-LOG.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, docs/build-workflow.md, and docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-fresh-tenant-command-dispatch-canary.md, then executed the fresh-tenant command-dispatch canary on branch codex/fresh-tenant-command-dispatch.
- Reconfirmed the old failing baseline before touching any code:
  - tenant row vidacious-ai-4 still points to droplet_id=556504015 / 165.227.200.246
  - DigitalOcean now returns 404 for droplet 556504015
  - public http://165.227.200.246:18789/ times out
  - ssh root@165.227.200.246 times out
- Created a brand-new production QA user and tenant through the real app after the foundation-spine deploy:
  - auth email: codex.fresh.command.20260309055402@gmail.com
  - tenant id: 650e3d26-1100-48b2-b77d-157d9efb73c5
  - slug: pixelport-fresh-command-20260309055402
  - droplet id: 556921894
  - droplet ip: 142.93.121.149
- Hit the known Supabase signup email throttle on the real signup path (email rate limit exceeded), then used the allowed service-role fallback to create+confirm that same QA auth user so the production canary could continue. No product code was changed for this.
- Validated fresh provisioning and runtime reachability end to end on the new tenant:
  - tenant reached active
  - bootstrap progressed from accepted to completed
  - public http://142.93.121.149:18789/ returned 200
  - ssh root@142.93.121.149 succeeded
  - cloud-init status --long returned status: done
  - openclaw-gateway started on the droplet and the workspace contract files/directories were present under /opt/openclaw/workspace-main/
  - /opt/openclaw/openclaw.json contained hooks enabled at /hooks
- Verified the required live read paths on the same fresh tenant:
  - GET /api/tenants/me
  - GET /api/tenants/status
  - GET /api/tasks
  - GET /api/vault
  - GET /api/competitors
- Dispatched a deterministic fresh-tenant command canary through the authenticated user session with POST /api/commands, using command id 1d3653e1-a63e-499a-8e27-1115fcc92b48 and idempotency key fresh-command-dispatch-20260309055402.
- Verified the fresh command progressed successfully through the command ledger without any fix:
  - POST /api/commands returned a real dispatched command, not a 502
  - GET /api/commands/:id showed command.acknowledged, command.running, runtime.artifact.promoted, and command.completed
  - GET /api/commands?limit=5 returned the completed command in the list view
  - the runtime wrote /opt/openclaw/workspace-main/pixelport/runtime/snapshots/fresh-command-canary.json with result fresh_tenant_dispatch_ok
- Classified the issue as a stale/disposable old-tenant problem, not a fresh-tenant provisioning/runtime bug. No repo code changes, tests, deploy, or CTO handoff were required in this session.
What's next:
- Treat fresh-tenant command dispatch as passing on production after the foundation-spine deploy.
- Ignore vidacious-ai-4 as dead disposable test infrastructure unless there is a separate reason to clean up stale tenant rows later.
- Resume the next highest-priority Phase 3 work without spending engineering time repairing old test tenants by default.
Blockers: None for fresh-tenant command dispatch. Separate non-command issues like signup email throttling or optional stale-tenant cleanup remain outside this canary result.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then reviewed the freshly deployed foundation-spine outcome and the remaining runtime-hook follow-up tracked from session 36.
- Reframed the next decision based on founder guidance that old test tenants are disposable: the immediate question is no longer “repair the old timed-out tenant first,” but “do fresh tenants created now dispatch commands successfully?”
- Created the next execution brief at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-fresh-tenant-command-dispatch-canary.md.
- Updated docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md so the next replacement-track item now explicitly requires a fresh-tenant command-dispatch canary before spending engineering time on backward repair of older test droplets.
- Locked the decision rule for the next session:
  - if a fresh tenant can dispatch commands successfully, treat the current old-tenant timeout as a stale/disposable test-tenant issue and move on
  - if a fresh tenant also fails, treat it as a real provisioning/runtime bug and fix the minimum thing required for fresh tenants
What's next:
- Start a separate Codex execution session from docs/build-briefs/2026-03-09-fresh-tenant-command-dispatch-canary.md.
- Use the fresh-tenant result to decide whether old tenants can be ignored or whether runtime/provisioning repair is actually required.
Blockers: No blocker for the planning/docs step itself. The next dependency is the result of the fresh-tenant canary.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Continued the post-approval foundation-spine release flow after merge to main, using the production Pixelport Supabase project and the existing QA tenant vidacious-ai-4 for same-session smoke.
- Added the founder-provided SUPABASE_DB_PASSWORD to the local secret store at ~/.pixelport/secrets.env and corrected the stale local secret-store README connection example from the old aws-0 pooler host to the linked project's actual aws-1-eu-west-1.pooler.supabase.com:5432 session pooler.
- Confirmed the first production failure root cause for GET /api/commands was not a Vercel deploy issue but a missing remote migration: Supabase REST/OpenAPI did not expose command_records, command_events, or workspace_events.
- Used the linked Supabase CLI with the provided DB password to dry-run and then apply supabase/migrations/008_foundation_spine.sql to production. Verified afterward that:
  - migration history shows 008 on both local and remote
  - Supabase REST/OpenAPI now exposes /command_records, /command_events, and /workspace_events
  - service-role reads against all three tables succeed
- Re-ran authenticated production smoke and confirmed the original GET /api/commands issue is resolved.
- Found one real post-migration bug in the new command path:
  - POST /api/commands created the command row, then threw a raw 500
  - Vercel logs showed dispatchAgentHookMessage() was letting undici transport timeouts bubble out when the droplet hook endpoint was unreachable
- Implemented the narrow production hotfix on branch codex/command-dispatch-timeout:
  - updated api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts so hook transport exceptions are normalized into { ok: false, status: 504, body: ... } instead of throwing
  - made timeout-signal setup defensive for environments without AbortSignal.timeout()
  - added regression coverage in src/test/onboarding-bootstrap.test.ts
  - extended src/test/commands-route.test.ts to assert failed hook dispatch returns 502 with a failed command record
- Validation for the hotfix passed:
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - npx eslint api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts src/test/commands-route.test.ts src/test/onboarding-bootstrap.test.ts
  - npm test -- src/test/commands-route.test.ts src/test/onboarding-bootstrap.test.ts
- Committed the hotfix as de0b04b (fix: normalize command dispatch transport failures), pushed codex/command-dispatch-timeout, fast-forwarded main, pushed main, and waited for production deployment dpl_6Fen2b17ezkDK73KFkELQSxtr5cj to go ready on https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app.
- Final production smoke on the live alias confirmed:
  - GET /api/commands?limit=5 returns 200
  - POST /api/commands now returns a structured 502 with a persisted failed command and gateway_status: 504 when the droplet hook is unreachable, instead of a raw 500
  - duplicate POST /api/commands returns 200 { idempotent: true } for the same failed command
  - POST /api/agent/workspace-events accepts correlated command.acknowledged and command.completed events with 201
  - GET /api/commands/:id shows the command lifecycle advancement and correlated workspace events
  - previously checked existing live reads remained healthy: /api/tenants/me, /api/tenants/status, /api/tasks, /api/vault, /api/competitors
- Verified one remaining production/runtime fact outside the API bugfix:
  - direct network access to the active test tenant hook endpoint 165.227.200.246:18789 times out from this environment
  - command dispatch therefore currently fails gracefully for that tenant because the runtime hook is unreachable, not because of the new ledger/event code
What's next:
- Treat the additive foundation-spine release itself as deployed and validated.
- Investigate runtime hook reachability for existing tenant droplets before declaring live dashboard-originated command dispatch fully operational across old tenants.
- If command dispatch is meant to work immediately for existing tenants, inspect droplet networking, container health, and hook exposure on the affected tenant(s).
Blockers: No blocker remains for the additive ledger/event foundation code. One runtime follow-up remains: the tested tenant's hook endpoint on port 18789 is not reachable from production/public network paths, so command dispatch degrades to a clean failed state.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read AGENTS.md, docs/SESSION-LOG.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, docs/build-workflow.md, docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-workspace-canonical-architecture.md, and docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-foundation-slice.md, then executed the approved high-risk foundation slice on branch codex/foundation-spine.
- Added additive Supabase migration 008_foundation_spine.sql with the new command_records, command_events, and workspace_events tables only. No existing tables were dropped, repurposed, or migrated in this session.
- Added the command/runtime foundation APIs:
  - POST /api/commands
  - GET /api/commands
  - GET /api/commands/:id
  - POST /api/agent/workspace-events
- Kept the protected live paths unchanged:
  - existing /api/agent/tasks, /api/agent/vault*, /api/agent/competitors
  - existing /api/tasks/*
  - existing current dashboard read paths
- Added shared helper modules for the new foundation contract:
  - command lifecycle status mapping and dispatch-message formatting
  - command ledger storage/update helpers
  - workspace prompt-surface and pixelport/ scaffold generation
- Refactored api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts only enough to expose a reusable generic hook dispatcher, while keeping the existing bootstrap token derivation and hook path intact.
- Extended fresh-tenant provisioning so the runtime now boots with the full prompt surface and workspace contract:
  - root files SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, BOOTSTRAP.md
  - pixelport/ namespace scaffolding for deliverables, vault snapshots, jobs, runtime status, ops events, and sub-agent scratch
  - bootstrap status snapshot and initial JSONL ops event
- Removed stale permanent Spark / Scout assumptions from the provisioning prompt surface and refreshed the repo reference files under infra/provisioning/ so they match the live generator again.
- Updated src/integrations/supabase/types.ts so the repo schema/types reflect the new additive tables.
- Added tests for:
  - command lifecycle helper logic
  - workspace prompt-surface/scaffold generation
  - mocked route smoke for POST /api/commands
  - mocked route smoke for POST /api/agent/workspace-events
- Validation completed successfully:
  - npx tsc --noEmit
  - targeted npx eslint on all touched API/helper/test files
  - npm test (5 test files, 9 tests passed)
- Created the CTO handoff prompt at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-foundation-slice-cto-prompt.md.
What's next:
- Claude CTO review is now complete with Verdict: APPROVED.
- Commit the approved changes onto the actual codex/foundation-spine branch, since the review found the implementation still sitting as an uncommitted working tree.
- After the branch is committed, merge/deploy the additive foundation slice, apply the new migration, and run the required same-session production smoke.
Blockers: No code blocker remains. The only follow-up from CTO review was process: commit the approved diff to codex/foundation-spine before merge.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read AGENTS.md, docs/SESSION-LOG.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, docs/build-workflow.md, docs/pixelport-master-plan-v2.md, and docs/openclaw-reference.md, then audited the current repo/runtime surfaces that the founder wanted re-architected.
- Re-confirmed the live repo mismatch that motivated the redesign:
  - dashboard Content + Calendar still run on agent_tasks
  - Vault is already human-editable through vault_sections
  - legacy content_items + approvals APIs still exist but are not the active product path
  - api/chat.ts still targets the invalid old /openclaw/chat route
  - the proven dashboard/control-plane -> Chief trigger is still the existing external HTTP hook mapping used by onboarding bootstrap
  - no websocket/runtime-admin bridge exists yet beyond the plain HTTP gateway helper
- Grounded the replacement direction against official OpenClaw docs and the local compiled reference, including the current runtime roles of SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, AGENTS.md, HEARTBEAT.md, hook mappings, sub-agents, cron, and workspace structure.
- Created the replacement architecture brief at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-workspace-canonical-architecture.md.
- Created the first implementation-ready foundation brief at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-foundation-slice.md.
- Created the strict Claude CTO review handoff prompt at docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-workspace-canonical-cto-prompt.md.
- Explicitly redesigned several earlier assumptions in the new brief instead of preserving them by default:
  - recommended a three-plane architecture (Supabase control plane + OpenClaw runtime/workspace plane + object storage asset plane) instead of forcing one source of truth for everything
  - kept workspace-first runtime artifacts where that fits the Chief product model
  - moved deterministic human edits, approvals, and command truth back to the control plane where product truthfulness requires it
  - rejected droplet-only canonical media in favor of durable object storage with optional droplet caching
- Updated docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md so the old Phase 3 execution path is now explicitly paused pending CTO review of the replacement architecture and approval of the new foundation slice.
What's next:
- CTO review is now complete and approved, with explicit additive-rollout conditions incorporated back into the briefs.
- Start the next separate Codex execution session from docs/build-briefs/2026-03-08-foundation-slice.md.
- Do not resume the older Phase 3 social/integrations sequence until the replacement architecture is reviewed.
Blockers: No blocker for the docs-and-architecture session itself. The next gate is starting the separate foundation-slice implementation session under the additive-rollout constraints from CTO review.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md per session protocol, then diagnosed the reported Playwright MCP instability on the local Codex desktop setup.
- Found the recurring local failure mode from prior sessions again: stale @playwright/mcp processes and a locked shared Chrome profile under ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/mcp-chrome.
- Added repo-tracked wrapper tools/mcp/playwright-mcp.sh to launch a pinned @playwright/mcp@0.0.68 with npx -y, --isolated, and --headless so new Codex sessions stop sharing the persistent mcp-chrome profile.
- Updated the active Codex desktop MCP registry at ~/.codex/config.toml so playwright now uses that wrapper instead of the bare npx @playwright/mcp@latest entry.
- Cleared the stale local Playwright MCP processes so the old locked browser/profile state is no longer held open.
- Restored the missing repo wrapper tools/mcp/github-mcp.sh after the fresh-session verification exposed that the global GitHub MCP path was broken.
- Verified in fresh codex exec sessions that MCP startup now reports github, digitalocean, and playwright all ready, and that the Playwright MCP browser successfully opened https://example.com and returned page title Example Domain.
What's next:
- Restart or open a fresh Codex desktop session if any already-open window is still attached to the pre-fix Playwright server.
- Use the new wrapper-backed Playwright MCP path for future browser checks.
Blockers: No blocker for this request. Existing project blockers remain tracked in docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md.

What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then implemented the requested live process-doc update for future build sessions.
- Updated AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md with the short build-loop summary while keeping them as compact constitutions.
- Added the new canonical workflow reference at docs/build-workflow.md, covering founder steps, build-brief usage, Claude CTO handoff expectations, feedback loops, merge authority, and post-deploy QA rules.
- Added the reusable build brief template at docs/build-briefs/template.md so future implementation sessions can start from a consistent handoff artifact.
- Updated docs/project-coordination-system.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, and docs/pixelport-project-status.md to reflect the new planning thread -> build brief -> execution session -> CTO review -> merge/deploy -> same-session smoke flow.
- No product code, infra config, or runtime behavior changed in this session.
What's next:
- Use this chat for continued Q&A and planning.
- Turn the next approved feature or fix into a build brief under docs/build-briefs/, then start a separate Codex execution session from that brief.
Blockers: No blocker for the workflow update itself. Existing product blockers remain tracked in docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md.

What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md per session protocol, then reviewed the recent delivery trail and planning source-of-truth for a dedicated Q&A/research thread.
- Read the current execution context across:
  - recent sessions in docs/SESSION-LOG.md (including the 2026.3.2 rollout, bootstrap race fix, and live validation)
  - archived session history in docs/archive/session-history.md
  - current plan in docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md

  - locked product/architecture spec in docs/pixelport-master-plan-v2.md
  - strategic feature backlog in docs/strategic-ideas-backlog.md
- Confirmed this thread is for Q&A, research, and drafting high-quality future implementation prompts only; no product code, infra, or UX changes were made in this session.
What's next:
- Use this thread to answer founder questions, research candidate features, and convert approved Q&A outcomes into implementation-ready prompts for later execution sessions.
- Keep actual feature implementation in separate scoped sessions once priorities are chosen.

Date: 2026-03-07 (session 29)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then ran a live production validation pass against the pushed bootstrap replay hardening commit 5a4030a.
- Created a fresh QA auth user and new production tenant on the live app to validate the exact first-run onboarding path rather than only checking an already-active tenant.
- Verified the duplicate-bootstrap fix end to end on production:
  - fresh tenant vidacious-ai-5 reached active
  - the critical race window was observed live as status=active, bootstrap_status=accepted, has_agent_output=false
  - Home did not emit an extra POST /api/tenants/bootstrap during that window
  - a manual replay attempt during the same window returned 409 reason=bootstrap_in_progress
  - once real agent writes landed, bootstrap moved to completed
  - a second manual replay attempt then returned 409 reason=bootstrap_already_completed
- Verified truthful backend/dashboard behavior on the same fresh tenant:
  - real task rows landed (10 total by the end of the run)
  - competitor rows landed (3, all unique: Arcads, Synthesia, HeyGen)
  - all 5 vault sections reached ready with last_updated_by=agent
  - Home Recent Activity, Content Pipeline, Knowledge Vault, and Competitors all rendered those real rows on production
  - Vault markdown rendered formatted content rather than raw markdown source
- Re-checked the live runtime edge conditions during provisioning:
  - cloud-init completed on the new droplet
  - OpenClaw container came up and later answered /health with the known HTML 200 control page response
  - no browser-control work was needed for this validation and the known browser timeout remains a separate non-blocking follow-up
- Found one follow-up frontend regression during the same production run:
  - the signed-out deep link to /dashboard/content correctly redirected to /login
  - after sign-in and onboarding, the app initially landed on /dashboard/content
  - during the early provisioning window it later drifted to /dashboard without user action
  - direct authenticated hard-loads to /dashboard/content, /dashboard/connections, /dashboard/vault, and /dashboard/competitors all worked correctly once the tenant was active
What's next:
- Treat duplicate-bootstrap replay as validated and closed for production.
- Decide whether to fix the onboarding-to-child-route drift next, since it appears limited to the first post-onboarding provisioning window rather than normal authenticated hard-loads.
- Keep the existing env-gated items (AGENTMAIL_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY) and the non-blocking browser timeout as separate follow-ups.
Blockers: No blocker remains for the bootstrap idempotency fix itself. One follow-up UX bug remains around post-onboarding child-route persistence during provisioning.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 28)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then finished the QA-driven hardening pass for the duplicate-bootstrap hotfix before any deploy/push.
- Closed the race condition left in session 27 by upgrading api/lib/bootstrap-state.ts from unconditional state writes to optimistic compare-and-set transitions keyed on tenants.updated_at. Bootstrap transitions now reload fresh tenant state, retry on contention, and only persist when the expected row version still matches.
- Made bootstrap lifecycle transitions monotonic by default: once bootstrap reaches completed, later stale accepted / failed writes no longer overwrite it. The same helper now preserves an already in-progress bootstrap from being reset back to dispatching by a concurrent non-forced replay.
- Kept the explicit manual replay escape hatch intact: force=true on POST /api/tenants/bootstrap now bypasses the monotonic guard intentionally so a real forced replay can still reset state back to dispatching.
- Updated api/tenants/bootstrap.ts to use the new compare-and-set helper for every lifecycle transition (completed, dispatching, failed, accepted), so concurrent replay requests can no longer both dispatch bootstrap after reading the same stale state snapshot.
- Simplified the agent write handlers in api/agent/tasks.ts, api/agent/competitors.ts, and api/agent/vault/[key].ts so they now mark bootstrap completed using a fresh backend read instead of the auth-time tenant snapshot. This removes the stale-snapshot regression path flagged in QA.
- Added additive has_agent_output to GET /api/tenants/status and updated src/pages/dashboard/Home.tsx to honor it. Home now avoids even a wasted legacy replay call when competitors or agent-written vault data already exist but task rows have not landed yet.
- Ran npx tsc --noEmit after the second-round patch — clean.
What's next:
- Commit the second-round bootstrap hardening patch and either run one more explicit QA pass or push immediately if founder accepts the patch on the basis of the fixed findings plus clean compile.
- After deploy, validate one fresh tenant on production and confirm: no second bootstrap accept, no duplicate competitor names, and expected 409 replay behavior for bootstrap_in_progress and bootstrap_already_completed.
- Keep Supabase signup throttling as a separate concern unless founder reprioritizes it.
Blockers: No new blocker in the code path. The remaining dependency is rollout validation on the deployed hotfix.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 27)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then implemented the duplicate-bootstrap hotfix for the fresh-tenant 2026.3.2 rollout without changing the overall provisioning/runtime architecture.
- Added a shared bootstrap lifecycle helper at api/lib/bootstrap-state.ts and made tenants.onboarding_data.bootstrap the source of truth for onboarding bootstrap state. The persisted states are now dispatching, accepted, completed, and failed, with timestamps, source, and last-error tracking stored inside onboarding_data.
- Updated api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts so fresh tenants now persist bootstrap.status = "dispatching" before they are marked active, then persist accepted or failed after the initial bootstrap trigger completes. This closes the original race window where Dashboard Home could see active before bootstrap state existed.
- Updated api/tenants/bootstrap.ts so replay is now authoritative and idempotent:
  - returns 409 reason=bootstrap_in_progress when bootstrap is already dispatching or accepted
  - returns 409 reason=bootstrap_already_completed when bootstrap is already completed or real agent output already exists
  - persists dispatching, accepted, and failed around real replay attempts
  - keeps the existing hooks-repair path for older droplets
- Updated api/tenants/status.ts to return additive field bootstrap_status, derived from tenant.onboarding_data.bootstrap.status.
- Updated src/pages/dashboard/Home.tsx so the frontend no longer guesses solely from tenant.status === active plus empty tasks. Home now reads bootstrap_status from /api/tenants/status and only auto-replays bootstrap for legacy recovery cases where the tenant is active, tasks are still empty, and bootstrap state is not_started or failed.
- Updated api/agent/tasks.ts, api/agent/competitors.ts, and api/agent/vault/[key].ts so the first successful agent-origin write marks bootstrap completed when the bootstrap lifecycle is still dispatching or accepted.
- Kept this as a forward-only fix: no cleanup logic was added for tenants that already have duplicated onboarding artifacts.
- Ran npx tsc --noEmit after the code changes — clean.
What's next:
- Deploy the bootstrap idempotency hotfix and run one fresh-tenant production QA pass to confirm Dashboard Home no longer replays bootstrap during the first onboarding write window.
- Re-check the live replay endpoint behavior for all three expected cases: bootstrap_in_progress, bootstrap_already_completed, and a real replay from failed.
- Leave Supabase signup throttling out of this hotfix unless founder chooses to prioritize it separately.
Blockers: No new design blocker was introduced. Live validation is still required after deploy to confirm the duplicate-bootstrap race is gone on production.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 26)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Ran the focused post-rollout production QA for the fresh-tenant OpenClaw 2026.3.2 default against the live app and created a brand-new tenant 50d6ac40-3a73-4321-8258-86efc5404ebe (pixelport-qa-rollout-20260307) through the real onboarding flow.
- Fresh auth hit a live Supabase signup throttle during QA: the real signup flow created the auth user but later retries returned 429 email rate limit exceeded, so the same newly created user was service-role confirmed to finish the required live onboarding path.
- Verified the fresh droplet end to end:
  - droplet 556582623 / 157.230.185.69
  - cloud-init completed
  - runtime image pixelport-openclaw:2026.3.2-chromium
  - OpenClaw version 2026.3.2
  - /opt/openclaw/config-validate.json reported {"valid":true,...}
  - generated openclaw.json kept acp.dispatch.enabled=false
  - hooks mapping was present with a distinct derived hooks token
  - LiteLLM provider still pointed at /v1 with api: "openai-responses"
  - /health and /ready both returned HTML 200 once the gateway became healthy
- Verified truthful backend/dashboard data on the fresh tenant:
  - tenant reached active
  - Supabase and authenticated dashboard APIs agreed on real rows
  - final backend state during QA: 16 task rows, 5 vault sections ready, 9 competitor rows, sessions_log = 0
  - Content, Vault, Home, and Competitors dashboard pages rendered those real rows rather than placeholders
- Captured the main fresh-tenant regression exposed by the live rollout: once the tenant became active, Dashboard Home auto-posted POST /api/tenants/bootstrap => 202 while the original onboarding bootstrap work was still landing, which produced duplicated onboarding artifacts (duplicate research/report tasks and duplicate competitor entries like Jasper, Klue, and Crayon).
- Documented additional non-blocking runtime findings from the fresh droplet:
  - browser control still times out in-container
  - web_search still errors without search credentials and throws noisy OpenClaw failover/context-overflow logs before the agent falls back to a conservative competitor set
  - shell helpers inside the runtime are brittle (python, rg, and jq issues)
  - generated SOUL.md shows mojibake characters for some punctuation even though the task-type guidance itself is valid
What's next:
- Hotfix bootstrap idempotency so Dashboard Home does not replay POST /api/tenants/bootstrap while the original onboarding bootstrap is still in flight.
- Decide whether to lower/relax Supabase signup throttling for production QA and new-user reliability, or document a deterministic QA auth path that does not require repeated live signup attempts.
- Keep the 2026.3.2 rollout in place for now because core provisioning, activation, truthful backend writes, and truthful dashboard reads passed; treat duplicate bootstrap writes as the urgent follow-up fix.
Blockers: No new rollout-revert blocker was found in the core 2026.3.2 provisioning/runtime path, but duplicate bootstrap writes on fresh tenants are now a high-priority production bug.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 25)
Who worked: Codex + Founder
What was done:
- Founder reviewed the 2026.3.2 canary result and explicitly approved broad rollout even though browser tooling is still a non-blocking follow-up.
- Logged the rollout decision: browser-control timeout is no longer treated as a release gate for the OpenClaw runtime upgrade as long as the Chief still completes useful onboarding research through the existing website scan + shell/web-fetch path.
- Prepared a fresh-session QA handoff brief for the post-rollout validation pass at docs/openclaw-2026-3-2-qa-brief-2026-03-07.md.
- Pushed the OpenClaw 2026.3.2 upgrade commit to main and redeployed production so new tenants now use the upgraded default provisioning/runtime path.
What's next:
- Run the separate QA session using the new brief and confirm a post-rollout fresh tenant still provisions, activates, writes real backend rows, and surfaces truthful dashboard data.
- Keep browser-control debugging de-prioritized unless the QA pass finds a browser-only workflow gap.
Blockers: No rollout blocker remains for the OpenClaw 2026.3.2 default. Browser control timeout remains a follow-up issue, not a launch gate.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 24)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Confirmed from the official OpenClaw upstream release that the latest stable runtime is v2026.3.2, then upgraded the fresh-tenant OpenClaw pins in provisioning and the browser-enabled runtime image build from 2026.2.24 to 2026.3.2.
- Hardened fresh-tenant provisioning for the upgrade:
  - added a pre-start openclaw.mjs config validate --json step via docker run --rm before the gateway container starts
  - generated both ACP-disabled and no-ACP config variants, with automatic fallback only if validation errors clearly point at the new ACP keys
  - kept the existing hooks mapping and /health readiness gate unchanged
- Updated runtime-aligned repo references for the canary path:
  - infra/openclaw-browser/Dockerfile
  - infra/provisioning/cloud-init.yaml
  - infra/provisioning/openclaw-template.json
  - infra/litellm/config.yaml
- Ran a first fresh-tenant canary on 2026.3.2 and found a real integration regression in the onboarding bootstrap contract:
  - the agent wrote unsupported task types like research_company_profile
  - POST /api/agent/tasks rejected those writes with 400 Invalid task_type
- Fixed that regression in repo code and redeployed:
  - persisted scan_results into tenant onboarding_data
  - tightened the bootstrap prompt and generated SOUL.md so onboarding work uses only valid task_type / status values
  - normalized legacy task aliases in api/agent/tasks.ts so research_*, strategy_report, and in_progress do not break dashboard-backed writes
- Ran a second fresh-tenant canary end to end on the upgraded runtime:
  - tenant 94e08d19-db84-4c18-8815-2b946176460b
  - droplet 134.209.79.13 (ID 556577257)
  - cloud-init completed
  - config validation passed, including the ACP-disabled config
  - gateway reached active
  - onboarding bootstrap was accepted
  - Supabase received real rows: 9 task rows, 5 vault sections ready, 5 competitor rows
  - authenticated dashboard APIs for the canary user returned those real rows, so the dashboard is reading backend truth rather than placeholders for this tenant
- Verified the explicit tools.profile: "full" diagnostic on the final canary:
  - shell tool succeeded
  - file-read tool succeeded
  - browser tool failed twice with Can't reach the OpenClaw browser control service (timed out after 15000ms)
- Manually probed GET /health, /healthz, /ready, and /readyz on the canary droplet with bearer auth and confirmed all four return 200, but each serves the OpenClaw HTML control UI rather than a dedicated JSON/plain readiness payload.
What's next:
- Keep 2026.3.2 at canary scope only until the tenant browser-control timeout is understood or explicitly accepted.
- If browser tooling matters for the next release gate, investigate the OpenClaw browser control service failure on fresh tenant droplets before broad rollout.
- If browser tooling remains de-prioritized, founder can decide whether the core provisioning/runtime win is sufficient to make 2026.3.2 the broad default anyway.
Blockers:
- Broad rollout is not recommended yet because the upgraded runtime still fails the browser-tool smoke on fresh tenant droplets even though core provisioning, bootstrap, backend writes, and truthful dashboard reads now pass.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 23)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Traced the actual Codex desktop MCP registry source to ~/.codex/config.toml; the repo-local .mcp.json alone was not enough for this app session.
- Registered both github and digitalocean in the global Codex MCP config and corrected the broken GitHub endpoint assumption from https://api.github.com/mcp to GitHub's real MCP offering.
- Installed the official GitHub MCP Server binary v0.32.0 to ~/.codex/bin/github-mcp-server.
- Added tools/mcp/github-mcp.sh, which authenticates through the already-signed-in GitHub CLI (gh auth token) and launches the GitHub MCP server over stdio without storing a PAT in repo config.
- Updated both ~/.codex/config.toml and repo .mcp.json so GitHub and DigitalOcean now use the local stdio wrapper pattern.
- Verified both wrapper scripts start cleanly:
  - GitHub MCP server reports running on stdio and fetched token scopes from the local GitHub CLI auth session.
  - DigitalOcean MCP server reports running on stdio with the local DO_API_TOKEN secret.
- Ran a fresh isolated codex exec smoke test after the config changes and confirmed both MCPs are usable in a newly started Codex agent:
  - GitHub MCP get_me returned authenticated user sanchalr
  - DigitalOcean MCP droplet-list returned live droplet 555041719 as active in sgp1
- Confirmed the three PixelPort-specific Codex skills remain installed and usable; no changes were needed there.
What's next:
- Prefer the new local GitHub MCP wrapper over the previous remote HTTP attempt on this machine.
- If a future session still does not see the servers, restart the Codex desktop app so it reloads the updated global MCP registry.
Blockers: No blocker remains for the scoped request. GitHub MCP, DigitalOcean MCP, and the three PixelPort skills are all usable from newly started Codex agents on this machine.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 22)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md per session protocol before running the requested MCP-only checks.
- Queried the GitHub MCP server successfully with get_me and confirmed the authenticated GitHub user is sanchalr (https://github.com/sanchalr).
- Queried the DigitalOcean MCP server successfully with droplet-list (PerPage: 1) and confirmed live droplet data is available in this session.
- Captured one minimal live droplet fact for verification: droplet 555041719 (openclaw223onubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-sgp1-01) is active in region sgp1.
What's next:
- Use the GitHub MCP server for repo inspection tasks as needed now that authenticated access is confirmed in this session.
- Use the DigitalOcean MCP server for small live infra checks when requested.
Blockers: No blocker for the scoped MCP verification. Both GitHub and DigitalOcean MCP servers responded successfully in this session.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md per session protocol before running any checks.
- Probed the GitHub MCP server directly via the Codex MCP resource APIs.
- Confirmed the GitHub MCP server is currently attached but unusable in this session because startup fails with: Environment variable GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN for MCP server 'github' is not set.
- Queried the DigitalOcean MCP server successfully and verified live account data is available, including account email sanchal@analog.one, status active, and droplet limit 10.
What's next:
- Add or expose GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN to the active Codex MCP session if GitHub MCP access is required.
- Re-run the GitHub MCP check after the token is available.
Blockers:
- GitHub MCP is unavailable until GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN is set for the active MCP server startup path.
Date: 2026-03-07 (session 20)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then verified the new Codex tooling state instead of assuming the prior config work was live.
- Confirmed the repo-local MCP config at .mcp.json contains github and digitalocean server entries.
- Verified the three new PixelPort skills are installed and readable at ~/.codex/skills/:
  - pixelport-fresh-tenant-canary
  - pixelport-openclaw-upgrade
  - pixelport-release-smoke
- Confirmed the files those skills point to still exist (docs/SESSION-LOG.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, docs/openclaw-reference.md, api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts), so the skill workflows are usable in practice.
- Confirmed the DigitalOcean MCP wrapper script launches cleanly and starts @digitalocean/mcp over stdio using the locally stored DO_API_TOKEN.
- Confirmed the active Codex MCP registry in this session does not currently expose github or digitalocean: both list_mcp_resources and codex mcp list/get only surfaced playwright, and explicit lookups for github / digitalocean returned "unknown server" / "not found".
- Probed the configured GitHub MCP URL (https://api.github.com/mcp) directly and received 404 Not Found on both HTTP and JSON-RPC-style requests, so GitHub MCP remains unverified and not usable from the current session.
What's next:
- Decide whether to register github and digitalocean in Codex's active MCP registry directly (for example via codex mcp add) or resolve why the repo-local .mcp.json is not being loaded by the desktop session.
- If GitHub MCP is still desired, verify the correct GitHub MCP endpoint/auth flow before relying on the current .mcp.json URL.
- Re-test MCP availability in a fresh Codex session only after the registry/auth path is corrected.
Blockers:
- The three new skills are usable, but GitHub MCP and DigitalOcean MCP are not usable from the current Codex model session because those servers are not attached to the active MCP registry here.
- GitHub MCP may also have an endpoint/auth configuration issue beyond the session-loading issue; the current URL probe returned 404.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then reviewed the current repo/tooling setup before adding new Codex workflow support.
- Confirmed the local secure secret system at ~/.pixelport/ is active and currently stores the keys needed for DigitalOcean and core PixelPort infra access.
- Added three PixelPort-specific Codex skills under ~/.codex/skills/:
  - pixelport-fresh-tenant-canary
  - pixelport-openclaw-upgrade
  - pixelport-release-smoke
- Added DigitalOcean MCP wiring to .mcp.json via a local wrapper script at tools/mcp/digitalocean-mcp.sh that reads DO_API_TOKEN from ~/.pixelport/get-secret.sh instead of hardcoding secrets in repo config.
- Added GitHub MCP wiring to .mcp.json using the remote GitHub MCP endpoint (https://api.github.com/mcp) so future sessions can authenticate through the client when needed instead of depending on Docker or a locally built GitHub MCP binary.
- Verified .mcp.json still parses cleanly after the changes.
- Confirmed the local machine does not currently have Docker or Go installed, so the older local GitHub MCP server paths are not the best fit on this machine right now.
What's next:
- Start a fresh Codex session when ready to pick up the newly added MCP config cleanly.
- Authenticate GitHub MCP through the client when first needed.
- If Supabase MCP is still wanted, add a proper SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN to the secure local secret store first; the existing service-role key is not the same thing.
Blockers:
- Supabase MCP is still blocked on a real Supabase access token / PAT.
- GitHub MCP may require first-use authentication in the client before it becomes usable in practice.

Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Pushed commit ee284b3 (fix: harden tenant runtime and update operating model) to main so GitHub now matches the validated production state.
- Re-validated the live fresh-tenant canary in the browser using the signed-in QA tenant vidacious-ai-4 (qa-browser-1772846173@example.com).
- Confirmed the dashboard Home page is no longer showing placeholder onboarding activity for this tenant. The visible Recent Activity entries map to real agent_tasks rows from the backend, including:
  - Bootstrap products and services mapping for Vidacious.ai
  - Bootstrap competitor landscape for Vidacious.ai
  - Bootstrap ICP and audience research for Vidacious.ai
  - Bootstrap brand voice for Vidacious.ai
  - Bootstrap company profile for Vidacious.ai
- Confirmed the authenticated APIs for vidacious-ai-4 return real backend state:
  - tenant status active
  - 5 completed research tasks
  - 3 competitor rows
  - all 5 vault sections in ready
- Verified the written research is substantive and persisted in the backend. Example: the live Vault content includes a company profile, brand voice, ICP, products/services mapping, and competitor analysis for Vidacious.ai rather than seed placeholders.
- Checked the live tenant config on droplet 165.227.200.246: the current tools.web block is empty, so this tenant does not currently have an explicit Gemini-backed search provider configured. This matches the missing GEMINI_API_KEY in Vercel.
- Founder clarified priority: the OpenClaw browser tool is not a near-term blocker as long as the Chief can still perform useful web-backed research without it and the dashboard shows real backend activity.
What's next:
- Founder runs product QA on the pushed build and reports issues.
- Keep browser-tool investigation de-prioritized unless a future use case truly requires browser-only interactions.
- Focus next engineering work on issues found during founder QA plus the remaining env-gated capabilities (GEMINI_API_KEY, AGENTMAIL_API_KEY).
Blockers:
- GEMINI_API_KEY is still missing in Vercel, so explicit Gemini-backed search config is still off.
- AGENTMAIL_API_KEY is still missing in Vercel, so inbox auto-creation remains off.
- Browser-tool timeout remains known but is currently de-prioritized for QA/release as long as real non-browser research continues to land in backend rows.
Date: 2026-03-06 (session 17)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then implemented the approved operating-model transition across the live process docs: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/project-coordination-system.md, docs/lovable-collaboration-guide.md, docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, and a dated governance note in docs/pixelport-project-status.md.
- Updated the live role definitions so Founder now approves major product, architecture, and UX decisions; Codex is the Technical Lead and primary owner of repo implementation across frontend, backend, infra, integrations, and releases; and CTO is an occasional QA/reviewer rather than a routine gate.
- Hardened fresh-tenant provisioning without upgrading OpenClaw: api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts now builds a Chromium-enabled runtime image per tenant droplet from the pinned ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.2.24 base image, waits longer for gateway health, and writes the POSIX-safe . /opt/openclaw/.env shell example into the generated SOUL template.
- Added the maintained derived image Dockerfile at infra/openclaw-browser/Dockerfile and refreshed the provisioning references in infra/provisioning/cloud-init.yaml and infra/provisioning/openclaw-template.json so the docs/templates match the live droplet build path.
- Treated Gemini-backed web search as env-gated: api/debug/env-check.ts now reports GEMINI_API_KEY, and the live docs/plan now explicitly track both GEMINI_API_KEY and AGENTMAIL_API_KEY as missing Vercel envs that gate specific fresh-tenant capabilities.
- Ran npx tsc --noEmit after the code changes — clean.
- Deployed the updated app to production and validated two fresh production canaries end to end:
  - vidacious-ai-3 (206.189.180.152) reached active, wrote real backend rows, and proved the Chromium-enabled image could be built on a tenant droplet.
  - vidacious-ai-4 (165.227.200.246) reached active, wrote real backend rows, preserved protected child-route hard loads, and rendered formatted Vault markdown on live content after the browser-directory ownership fix.
- Verified the browser-runtime hardening outcome directly on the tenant droplet:
  - Chromium exists in-container at /usr/bin/chromium
  - the OpenClaw browser control service boots and responds on http://127.0.0.1:18791/
  - browser profile directories under /home/node/.openclaw/browser are writable by node
  - the previous No supported browser found failure and the old source /opt/openclaw/.env shell warning are resolved
- Documented the remaining runtime limitation instead of redesigning around it: on OpenClaw 2026.2.24, the in-agent browser tool still times out because the Chrome extension relay reports no attached tab even though the browser control service is up.
What's next:
- Founder continues live Q&A on the now-working fresh-tenant flow and reports any remaining product/runtime issues.
- Investigate the remaining OpenClaw browser tool timeout separately as an upstream/runtime limitation on 2026.2.24; do not conflate it with provisioning-image failures.
- Add GEMINI_API_KEY and AGENTMAIL_API_KEY to the Vercel environment when ready, then redeploy to enable explicit Gemini-backed search config and AgentMail inbox auto-creation for fresh tenants.
Blockers:
- OpenClaw browser tool still times out on tenant droplets even after Chromium install and writable browser-profile paths because the Chrome extension relay reports no attached tab.
- GEMINI_API_KEY and AGENTMAIL_API_KEY are still missing in the live Vercel environment.
Date: 2026-03-06 (session 16)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then implemented the fresh-tenant runtime canary from docs/qa/debug-pixel-fix-gpt54-responses-2026-03-06.md.
- Updated api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts so fresh tenants now provision with gpt-5.4 as primary, gpt-4o-mini and gemini-2.5-flash as fallback options, and openai-responses for the custom LiteLLM provider config written into openclaw.json.
- Preserved Gemini-backed search support in the generated droplet config when GEMINI_API_KEY exists in the deploy environment, and added image-generation guidance to the generated SOUL template so the Chief knows about POST /api/agent/generate-image.
- Fixed a separate Vercel build blocker in api/inngest/functions/activate-slack.ts by making the gateway-health error path union-safe for TypeScript.
- Ran npx tsc --noEmit after each code edit — clean.
- Restored direct Railway CLI access, redeployed LiteLLM from infra/litellm/, and confirmed the new production deployment (b37f0dc1-51e8-4c58-9096-2811d4e3f2e9) started cleanly with aliases for gpt-5.4, gpt-5.2-codex, gemini-2.5-flash, gpt-4o-mini, and claude-sonnet.
- Verified live LiteLLM canary calls on the Responses path: both gpt-5.4 and gemini-2.5-flash returned 200 OK through /v1/responses.
- Deployed the Vercel app from the local working tree, including the canary provisioning changes.
- Created a fresh confirmed QA user, completed onboarding visibly in Playwright, and validated the new tenant canary vidacious-ai-2 end to end on production.
- Live production result for vidacious-ai-2:
  - tenant reached active
  - droplet created at 104.248.226.0
  - agent_tasks = 6
  - competitors = 5
  - all 5 vault sections reached ready
  - dashboard Home switched from placeholder feed to real backend-generated activity
  - Knowledge Vault rendered formatted markdown correctly
  - hard-loads to /dashboard/content and /dashboard/connections stayed on the requested child routes
- Captured two residual runtime issues during the canary:
  - Vercel does not currently have GEMINI_API_KEY, so fresh droplets do not emit explicit tools.web.search.provider = "gemini" config even though the code path now supports it.
  - OpenClaw on the fresh droplet still logged browser-tool unavailability and a shell warning from source /opt/openclaw/.env; onboarding recovered anyway and completed successfully.
What's next:
- Founder continues live QA/QnA against the now-working fresh-tenant flow and reports any remaining product/runtime issues.
- If browser-assisted research needs to be reliable on tenant droplets, investigate the OpenClaw browser availability issue separately.
- If Gemini-backed web search is required for fresh tenants, add GEMINI_API_KEY to the Vercel environment and redeploy so the explicit search config path becomes active.
- Clean up the source /opt/openclaw/.env shell example in the generated SOUL template in a follow-up hardening pass.
Blockers: No blocker remains for the scoped canary path. Fresh-tenant onboarding is working again in production. Remaining issues are follow-up hardening items, not release blockers for this flow.
Date: 2026-03-06 (session 15)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Re-read docs/SESSION-LOG.md and docs/ACTIVE-PLAN.md, then reviewed the current new-tenant provisioning path in api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts, api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts, and infra/litellm/config.yaml.
- Consolidated the already-confirmed live failure point: fresh tenants now provision successfully through active, but the first autonomous onboarding run still fails on the LiteLLM/OpenClaw runtime boundary after activation.
- Re-checked primary-source guidance for the proposed fix direction: OpenAI current model guidance, OpenClaw configuration support, and LiteLLM proxy behavior/issues.
- Authored a Debug Pixel execution brief at docs/qa/debug-pixel-fix-gpt54-responses-2026-03-06.md.
- The handoff recommends keeping LiteLLM/Railway, simplifying fresh-tenant runtime to OpenAI-only for the canary, switching new tenants to general gpt-5.4 with gpt-4o-mini fallback, and moving the OpenClaw provider transport back to openai-responses.
What's next:
- Have the Debug Pixel session execute docs/qa/debug-pixel-fix-gpt54-responses-2026-03-06.md.
- Redeploy Railway and Vercel with that scoped runtime change.
- Validate the change on a brand-new account and confirm real onboarding writes appear (agent_tasks, vault updates, sessions_log, competitors).
Blockers: The fix brief is ready, but the runtime change is not implemented yet. Fresh onboarding remains blocked at the first autonomous run until the new model/transport canary is deployed and verified.
Date: 2026-03-06 (session 14)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Restored the local Playwright MCP browser path by clearing the stuck Chrome session that held the dedicated ms-playwright/mcp-chrome profile open, then resumed live production validation in the visible browser.
- Re-validated the protected dashboard hard-load fix on production: /dashboard/content and /dashboard/connections now stay on the requested route after auth settles.
- Re-validated the live Vidacious tenant and confirmed the remaining onboarding gap was not the redirect fix or the old hook-token crash. The tenant was active, but POST /api/tenants/bootstrap still failed because the existing droplet's openclaw.json had no hooks block at all.
- Verified the runtime behavior directly on the Vidacious droplet (159.89.95.83) over SSH. Once hooks were added, POST /hooks/agent with the derived hook token returned 202, confirming the caller path is valid for OpenClaw 2026.2.24 when hooks are actually configured.
- Identified a second runtime compatibility bug from live gateway logs: accepted hook runs failed first with rs_* not found on the openai-responses transport, and then with UnsupportedParamsError: ['store'] on the openai-completions transport until LiteLLM is told to drop unsupported params.
- Confirmed the correct LiteLLM transport at runtime by calling the tenant's LiteLLM proxy directly on the droplet: POST /v1/chat/completions with model gpt-5.2-codex returned 200 OK.
- Updated api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts to generate a 2026.2.24-compatible hooks block via buildBootstrapHooksConfig().
- Added api/lib/droplet-ssh.ts and api/lib/bootstrap-hooks-repair.ts, then updated api/tenants/bootstrap.ts so active tenants created before hooks support can self-heal in place over SSH when the first bootstrap attempt returns 405.
- Updated api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts so fresh droplets write the older-compatible hooks config shape, stop using the invalid group:all tool allowlist, and switch the LiteLLM provider transport from openai-responses to openai-completions.
- Updated infra/litellm/config.yaml to set litellm_settings.drop_params: true, which is required because OpenClaw 2026.2.24 still injects unsupported params like store into the LiteLLM proxy requests.
- Used the live Vidacious droplet as a canary during diagnosis. Manual host-side backups were created on the droplet before each config mutation (openclaw.json.bak-bootstrap-*, openclaw.json.bak-canary-*, openclaw.json.bak-chatapi-*).
- Ran npx tsc --noEmit twice after the code changes — clean both times.
What's next:
- Deploy the Vercel changes so POST /api/tenants/bootstrap can repair older active droplets automatically.
- Redeploy the Railway LiteLLM service from infra/litellm/config.yaml so drop_params: true is live; without that, OpenClaw 2026.2.24 still fails accepted hook runs with UnsupportedParamsError: ['store'].
- Re-run bootstrap replay on the existing Vidacious tenant and confirm real backend output starts appearing (agent_tasks, vault updates, competitors).
- Re-check Vault markdown rendering on a tenant that has ready vault sections once bootstrap output is flowing again.
Blockers: End-to-end onboarding bootstrap is still blocked in live production until the updated LiteLLM Railway config is redeployed. The repo changes and the Vercel-side repair path are ready.

Date: 2026-03-06 (session 13)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Implemented the QA hotfix bundle for three scoped issues: fresh onboarding provisioning, protected dashboard deep links, and Vault markdown rendering.
- Fixed the OpenClaw provisioning config bug by deriving a distinct hooks token from gateway_token instead of reusing the same token for both gateway.auth.token and hooks.token.
- Updated api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts so hook-triggered onboarding bootstrap authenticates with the derived hooks token, and updated api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts so new tenant droplets write the distinct hook token into openclaw.json.
- Kept the existing tenant schema unchanged. No migration was added; hook auth now derives deterministically from gateway_token.
- Updated api/tenants/bootstrap.ts so replaying onboarding bootstrap for already-active tenants also uses the derived hooks token.
- Fixed the protected-route deep-link regression by tightening auth initialization in src/contexts/AuthContext.tsx, preventing the app from concluding "no tenant" before Supabase session hydration finishes.
- Updated src/components/ProtectedRoute.tsx to preserve the originally requested /dashboard... route in redirect state for both /login and /onboarding.
- Updated src/pages/Login.tsx, src/pages/Signup.tsx, and src/pages/Onboarding.tsx to honor the preserved dashboard destination instead of always normalizing back to /dashboard.
- Added src/lib/dashboard-redirect.ts to centralize safe /dashboard... redirect parsing and destination resolution.
- Added react-markdown, enabled Tailwind Typography in tailwind.config.ts, and updated src/pages/dashboard/Vault.tsx so ready Vault sections render formatted markdown while edit mode still uses raw markdown text.
- Left dashboard chat unchanged and documented it as still simulated/out of scope for this hotfix bundle.
- Ran npx tsc --noEmit — clean.
What's next:
- Deploy the hotfix bundle and rerun the fresh onboarding production audit to confirm new droplets reach active without the hooks.token must not match gateway auth token crash-loop.
- Re-validate protected hard loads for /dashboard/content and /dashboard/connections with both active and provisioning tenants.
- Re-validate Vault markdown formatting on ready sections after deploy.
- Keep chat on the separate backlog until the real dashboard bridge is designed and implemented.
Blockers: No code blocker remains for the scoped hotfix bundle. Live validation still depends on deploy/push before production behavior can be confirmed.

Date: 2026-03-06 (session 12)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Ran a production QA audit against https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app covering signed-out route guards, fresh onboarding, and seeded active-dashboard flows.
- Verified signed-out /dashboard and /onboarding both redirect to /login, and confirmed Google OAuth reachability from the live login page.
- Attempted a real self-serve signup flow and hit Supabase auth rate limiting (429 email rate limit exceeded) after client-side validation succeeded.
- Created a fresh confirmed QA auth user to continue the onboarding audit without depending on email confirmation throughput.
- Completed onboarding for QA Audit Co with agent name Nova, confirmed POST /api/tenants/scan returned 200, and confirmed POST /api/tenants returned 201 before redirecting into /dashboard.
- Verified the fresh tenant never progressed beyond provisioning and that the dashboard stayed on placeholder activity with no tasks, vault rows, competitors, or sessions.
- Queried the fresh tenant backend state and SSH'd to the new droplet (137.184.56.124), confirming openclaw-gateway was crash-looping and port 18789 was never healthy.
- Captured the gateway failure root cause from live container logs: OpenClaw rejects the generated config because hooks.token matches gateway.auth.token. Also observed repeated EACCES failures while the container tried to persist doctor/plugin auto-enable changes.
- Correlated the crash-loop with api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts, where buildOpenClawConfig() currently writes params.gatewayToken to both the gateway auth token and the hooks token.
- Logged into the seeded TestCo Phase2 fixture and validated dashboard pages via in-app navigation: Home, Content Pipeline, Calendar, Competitors, Knowledge Vault, Connections, Settings, and Chat all rendered.
- Reproduced a protected-route regression on hard loads: direct navigation to /dashboard/content and /dashboard/connections briefly resolves to /onboarding and then falls back to /dashboard home instead of preserving the requested child route.
- Confirmed the chat widget and full-page chat are still fully simulated UI surfaces with no /api/chat traffic after sending messages.
- Confirmed the Knowledge Vault still renders raw markdown instead of formatted content.
- Confirmed the fresh tenant Connections page correctly disables Slack until provisioning completes when reached through internal navigation.
- Saved screenshots, auth-state captures, and page/network evidence under output/playwright/dashboard-onboarding-qa-2026-03-06/.
- Wrote the full debugging report to docs/qa/dashboard-onboarding-debug-audit-2026-03-06.md.
What's next:
- Fix provisioning so hooks.token is distinct from gateway.auth.token, then re-run the fresh onboarding audit on production.
- Fix protected child-route hard loads so authenticated deep links stay on the requested route instead of flashing /onboarding and falling back to /dashboard.
- Decide whether dashboard chat should stay visibly disabled until the real backend bridge exists, or be wired to the real transport before the next publish.
- Render Knowledge Vault markdown properly instead of showing raw markdown syntax.
- Decide whether the active QA fixture should have a real AgentMail inbox and whether Supabase auth rate limits need adjustment for repeat signup testing.
Blockers: Fresh onboarding remains blocked in production until the OpenClaw config bug is fixed. The new tenant created during this audit (QA Audit Co) is still stuck in provisioning.

2026-03-06 (session 11)

Date: 2026-03-06 (session 11)
Who worked: Codex
What was done:
- Debugged Google OAuth redirect failure reported from the frontend login flow.
- Reproduced the live login initiation from https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app/login and confirmed the app was already sending redirect_to=https://pixelport-launchpad.vercel.app/dashboard.
- Identified the actual failure point as Supabase Auth URL configuration falling back to http://localhost:3000 when the callback redirect is not accepted.
- Added src/lib/app-url.ts so auth flows use a canonical app URL. Localhost now falls back to the production app URL unless VITE_APP_URL is explicitly set.
- Updated src/pages/Login.tsx and src/pages/Signup.tsx to use the shared auth redirect helper. Email signup confirmation now uses the same canonical app URL logic.
- Updated src/integrations/supabase/client.ts to use explicit session detection and PKCE flow so auth tokens are no longer returned in the browser hash fragment.
- Verified a separate provisioning UI bug for s-r@ziffyhomes.com: the account existed in Supabase Auth but had no tenant row, droplet, agent, tasks, vault, or competitor data.
- Root cause: frontend route gating and dashboard state trusted stale pixelport_* localStorage from prior sessions/users, so a new user could land on a fake "Provisioning" dashboard without ever creating a tenant.
- Added src/lib/pixelport-storage.ts and updated src/contexts/AuthContext.tsx to fetch the real tenant via /api/tenants/me, hydrate local storage only from real tenant data, and clear stale state on sign-out or account switch.
- Updated src/components/ProtectedRoute.tsx and src/pages/Onboarding.tsx so onboarding/dashboard access is based on actual tenant existence, not browser-local flags.
- Updated src/pages/Onboarding.tsx to mark onboarding complete only after /api/tenants succeeds, and surface an error instead of silently navigating to a fake dashboard.
- Updated src/pages/dashboard/Home.tsx and src/components/dashboard/AppSidebar.tsx to prefer real tenant status over stale local storage. Placeholder "Recent Activity" items now show only while the tenant is genuinely provisioning.
- Updated api/tenants/index.ts so duplicate company names no longer block testing across multiple accounts. Tenant slugs remain unique for infra, but onboarding now auto-suffixes the slug when the same company name is reused.
- Updated onboarding Step 3 to remove the premature Slack prompt. The flow now focuses on launching/provisioning first.
- Updated src/pages/dashboard/Connections.tsx so Slack connect is disabled until tenant provisioning is complete (tenant.status === active).
- Audited the live Vidacious tenant after onboarding completed: tenant status reached active, a real droplet was created (159.89.95.83), OpenClaw was healthy on port 18789, and the Chief agent row was created with model gpt-5.2-codex (fallbacks available via LiteLLM).
- Verified the dashboard "Recent Activity" feed was still not backend-driven for the new tenant: agent_tasks, competitors, and sessions_log were empty, so the app was either showing placeholders or nothing despite provisioning having completed.
- Identified the real gap: provisioning stopped after mark-active, and no first-run bootstrap was ever sent to the Chief. Also confirmed api/chat.ts still targets POST /openclaw/chat, which is invalid for OpenClaw 2026.2.24 because the gateway is WebSocket-first and does not expose that REST chat route.
- Added api/lib/onboarding-bootstrap.ts with a shared bootstrap prompt builder and a hook-based trigger using OpenClaw POST /hooks/agent.
- Updated api/inngest/functions/provision-tenant.ts to enable OpenClaw hooks in the generated tenant config, tighten the SOUL instructions so the Chief writes real task/vault data during onboarding research, and automatically dispatch the initial bootstrap after the tenant is marked active.
- Added POST /api/tenants/bootstrap so already-active tenants can replay onboarding bootstrap without recreating the account. The endpoint blocks duplicate replays unless force=true is passed and existing agent output is absent.
- Updated src/pages/dashboard/Home.tsx to poll /api/tasks and automatically request onboarding bootstrap once for active tenants that still have no backend work recorded. This gives already-active tenants a recovery path after deploy and lets the Recent Activity feed update when the Chief starts writing tasks.
- Ran npx tsc --noEmit — clean.
What's next:
- Deploy and verify the new hook-based bootstrap on a fresh tenant and on the existing Vidacious test tenant via POST /api/tenants/bootstrap.
- Confirm the Chief now creates real agent_tasks, vault updates, and competitor records shortly after provisioning so the dashboard feed is backed by database writes.
- Decide when to replace or retire the invalid api/chat.ts REST bridge. It is still incompatible with OpenClaw 2026.2.24 and remains a separate architecture task.
- CTO: Continue Phase 3 Session 11 work (X + LinkedIn adapters + social publishing) once auth is unblocked.
Blockers: No repo blocker for onboarding bootstrap. Live validation still depends on deploy/push before the new hook-based trigger can be tested in production.

2026-03-05 (session 10)

Date: 2026-03-05 (session 10)
Who worked: CTO (Claude Code) + Codex (QA via native MCP)
What was done:
- Phase 3: Integration Framework — COMPLETE
  - Researched PostHog (OAuth, MCP, Query API), competitor landscape (Tensol.ai YC W26), all major marketing integrations
  - Key finding: OpenClaw 2026.2.24 does NOT support MCP natively (config silently ignored). Vercel API proxy pattern confirmed.
  - Created comprehensive plan: 16 integrations across 3 tiers, generic framework, adapter pattern
- Framework built (all new files):
  - supabase/migrations/007_integrations_framework.sql — generic integrations table (RLS, triggers, check constraints). Applied to Supabase.
  - api/lib/integrations/crypto.ts — centralized AES-256-CBC encrypt/decrypt (replaced 3 duplicated copies)
  - api/lib/integrations/oauth-state.ts — HMAC state gen/verify with PKCE support + timing-safe comparison
  - api/lib/integrations/registry.ts — integration catalog (8 services: X, LinkedIn, PostHog, GA4, HubSpot, Google Ads, SEMrush, Search Console)
  - api/lib/integrations/token-manager.ts — lazy OAuth token refresh with 5-min grace window
  - api/connections/[service]/install.ts — generic OAuth initiation (PKCE for X)
  - api/connections/[service]/callback.ts — generic OAuth callback (stores as 'connected', Inngest activates)
  - api/connections/[service]/disconnect.ts — disconnect integration
  - api/connections/api-key/connect.ts — API key storage with extra fields support
  - api/agent/integrations.ts — agent proxy (Chief → service adapter → third-party API)
  - api/agent/capabilities.ts — agent integration awareness (connected services + actions)
  - api/inngest/functions/activate-integration.ts — generic activation (validates token per service)
  - api/lib/integrations/adapters/posthog.ts — PostHog adapter (read_traffic, read_funnels, read_events, query_insights)
- Updated existing files:
  - api/connections/index.ts — queries both slack_connections + integrations tables, returns registry catalog
  - api/inngest/index.ts — registered activateIntegration function
- Deleted: api/analytics/track.ts (internal PostHog tracking — replaced by tenant integration)
- 2 Codex QA rounds (native MCP):
  - Round 1: Found PKCE unsigned, missing RLS, activation timing → all fixed
  - Round 2: Found PostHog host/project_id not collected, wrong EventsNode schema, API key activation timing, masked errors → all fixed
- TypeScript compiles clean after all fixes
What's next:
- Founder: Test PostHog integration (provide Personal API Key + Project ID)
- Founder: Provide Mem0 API key
- CTO: Session 11 — X + LinkedIn adapters + social publishing endpoints
- CTO: Session 12 — GA4 adapter + metrics/reporting
- Founder: Rebuild Connections page as dynamic grid (reads from registry)
Blockers: PostHog Personal API Key + Project ID needed for E2E test. Mem0 API key still pending.

2026-03-05 (session 10a — Codex MCP diagnostic)

Who worked: Codex
What was done: Verified native codex MCP works from Claude Code (1 QA run in 8m 53s). codex-cli MCP review/codex commands fail immediately — prefer native codex MCP.

2026-03-05 (session 9)

Date: 2026-03-05 (session 9)
Who worked: CTO (Claude Code)
What was done:
- 3 Phase 2 deferred endpoints built:
  - api/agent/generate-image.ts — Image gen endpoint (OpenAI DALL-E 3 / gpt-image-1, extensible to FLUX/Imagen)
