# 2026-02-21

- Full workstation reboot completed ~12:57 PM ET; re-ran post-compaction checklist (SOUL/USER, WORKFLOW_AUTO, latest memory) and pivoted with Adner to shelve Haiku work temporarily in favor of the responsiveness improvements from Grok + Opus.
- Updated WORKFLOW_AUTO.md (v2026-02-21) with the new communication guardrails: heartbeat rule (≤90s silence), pre-plan announcements, post-maintenance debrief note, and refreshed TODO stack (implement responsiveness tooling, then return to Haiku when asked).
- Created `/workspace/bin/heartbeat_helper.sh` (simple 60s ping loop) and `/workspace/bin/run_audit_playbook.sh` (scaffold for audit/config/restart flow with validation + logging placeholders); both scripts marked executable for future automation. Pending next steps: wire heartbeat helper into long-running tasks and flesh out the playbook’s config-patch section.
- 00:51 EST: Session health check — tokens=70,529 compactions=0 status=OK.

- 00:55 EST: Added /bin/session_health_monitor.py + cron job 'Session health monitor' (0 */6 * * * ET) to auto-check tokens/compaction and alert via Telegram if thresholds exceeded.
- 00:57 EST: 🟡 Session health check — level=ELEVATED, tokens=115,506, compactions=0.

- 00:58 EST: Upgraded session health monitor to tiered levels (⚪️/🟡/🟠/🔴) and updated cron instructions to relay script-provided messages only when alerts fire.

- 01:04 EST: Ran grok-4 smoke test via sessions_spawn (label 'grok_smoke_test'); sub-agent returned GROK_SMOKE_OK confirming model available.

- 00:25 EST: Manually reinstalled OpenClaw CLI/gateway via ~/.npm-global, reinstalled systemd service, and confirmed gateway now running 2026.2.21-2.
