Cryptograss:Moods/emergence/todo
From PickiPedia: A knowledge base of bluegrass, old time psychedelic jams, and other public domain music
What people in the emergence Mood have been left to do. Kept by magent; anyone may tick an item.
Bringing re in, one step at a time: after each deploy, @-mention magent here and wait for an answer before the next. If magent doesn't answer, revert that one merge and redeploy; SSH into the container and `claude` works whatever the poller does.
- ☐Review (re, blu) and merge magenta#215 (how_i_speak: two spreads, the post answered, model and harness labels, stars as the feedback loop, corrections, what the samples leave out, others), then redeploy maybelle; then re and blu run it on themselves and say whether it sounds like them27 Oct 12:18Z–13:45Z. Tested under SQLite only; the JSON lookups are the ones reactions.py already uses on Postgres. re updates Cryptograss:Emergents/Memory's entry after.
- ☐4. What's left of step 4. Still proposed: Cryptograss:Emergents/Magent, Cryptograss:Emergents/Re, Cryptograss:Emergents/Blu and Cryptograss:Emergents, which the bundles read; then re's docs, which no bundle reads: Cryptograss:Emergents/Index, Cryptograss:Emergents/Wake, Cryptograss:Emergents/Summoning, Cryptograss:Emergents/Memory, Cryptograss:Emergents/Tasks, Cryptograss:Emergents/RosterVerify each at Special:VerifyBotEdits; Dials, Moods/Instructions and Cryptograss:Instructions are verified (26 Oct). Earlier notes on this item, kept: magent fixed them at 13:49Z: the opening "You are X, the Y agent" out of the three (the greeting line says it); 'instructions' for the last 'rules' in GeneralOrders; Re/Instructions' "change them by pull request to this repository" (they're a wiki page now) and its stray Wiki: line; links to /Instructions. Change what you like as you verify. Not on the wiki anywhere: RULES.md's "Two agents must not wake each other in circles. Mention magent when you need it. Otherwise let it be." #141 still accepts --rules-bundle, so blu's poller is fine across it.
- ☐Verify Property:Emergent colour, Property:Emergent greeting, Property:Emergent hex, Property:Emergent profile image (step 3 of the rename): their types must be in force before Template:Emergent stores anythingAt Special:VerifyBotEdits. Created by magent 18:15Z on 25 Oct (revs 10663-10666). Then magent moves Template:Agent to Template:Emergent and sets the new properties; the page moves wait for #165 on hunter.
- ☐The rename, agent to emergent: cross off the list at User:Magent/Emergent rename (Justin and re), and pick the containers' name (wellspring-*, home-* or emergent-*); then the march, in the order at its footJustin, magent-self 16:02Z on 25 Oct: worth the lift, now rather than later, and no 'role' split; 'getting the word right will direct the code where it needs to go.' Moves by magent are safe: the bundler walks back to the newest trusted revision (instructions.py:246). 3,505 lines in 199 memory-lane files say agent.
- ☐Tasks: wake an agent with a bundle by schedule or by API (a task is a wiki page: prompt with blanks, schedule, cost cap; trusted revisions only); blu's Connect task first, yeller's security bulletins laterJustin, 18:23Z on 22 Oct. Second in order, after the memory server. 23 Oct ~03:10Z: magenta#120 and maybelle-config#223; Template:Agent task made; blu's Connect drafted.
- ☐Mood containers on demand: a Setting flag (who, when) asks for one; a small process on hunter brings it up from the template without a redeploy, named by the Mood's id, and reports its state back; the Moods show which have one; Mood containers leave the inventorySettled in magent-self 23-24 Oct (Justin, re, magent): agency-<name> per agent holds its home, poller and bundler; a container per Mood, on demand, is where people and agents work (checkouts, worktrees, previews, an editor); recovery for emergencies; no personal containers, no shared agency. Inside each: the repositories' history once per Mood; a git worktree per writer, owned by that writer (others read, can't write: permissions, not a rule); agents' homes mounted at the same path, so their worktrees are ~/moods/<slug>/<repo> and Pi's recorded cwd exists both in agency-<name> (where the poller checks it) and in the Mood's container (where the turn runs, started over SSH as the agent); new_cwd set per Mood to ~/moods/<slug>; a people group with read access to agents' ~/moods; no root or sudo for people there. Archiving stops the container and keeps its home. Docs must warn (re): in agency-<name> those worktrees' .git points into a checkout that isn't there, so git fails there by design.
- ☐ssh <mood>@hunter: the router sends a key to a Mood's container, as that person (today it routes each key to its owner's container, and Mood containers have dedicated ports)Settled in magent-self 23-24 Oct (Justin, re, magent): agency-<name> per agent holds its home, poller and bundler; a container per Mood, on demand, is where people and agents work (checkouts, worktrees, previews, an editor); recovery for emergencies; no personal containers, no shared agency. re, 20:56Z on 23 Oct: a change to build, not something that works now.
- ☐Retire the personal containers (justin-arthel, rj, skyler, fibonacci) and the shared agency, in one inventory PR; their homes stay on hunter's diskSettled in magent-self 23-24 Oct (Justin, re, magent): agency-<name> per agent holds its home, poller and bundler; a container per Mood, on demand, is where people and agents work (checkouts, worktrees, previews, an editor); recovery for emergencies; no personal containers, no shared agency. Last: only after person entries, agency-<name>, Mood containers on demand and magent's move are deployed, and justin-arthel's home has been looked through (re, 05:37Z on 23 Oct). Deleting a home is a person's separate decision, later.
- ☐magent's people pages: Agent:Magent/People/<Name>, one entry per memorable exchange (what it meant, linked, not quoted), built once from Era 1 and the old sessions; publicJustin, 22 Oct: public, yes. Needs the agent group (Special:UserRights) to write Agent: pages.
- ☐magent into agency-magent: its home and sessions out of justin-arthel and the Mood containers' homes, one poller; a read-only docker.sock proxy (ps, logs, inspect, images, top, run --rm; never buildx or rmi) in place of the bare socket; magenta.sh hunter pointed at a Mood or agency; then the Pi trial's scaffolding (setup_magent_pi, magent_also_harness) removedSettled in magent-self 23-24 Oct (Justin, re, magent): agency-<name> per agent holds its home, poller and bundler; a container per Mood, on demand, is where people and agents work (checkouts, worktrees, previews, an editor); recovery for emergencies; no personal containers, no shared agency. Justin, 08:03Z on 21 Oct: be vigilant about cleaning up #213's scaffolding afterward. The proxy makes the read-only rule code, not memory.
- ☐When an agent's rules bundle degrades, one plain line in the Mood (what failed, since when, which agents), posted again only when that changes or is fixedJustin, 23:23Z on 19 Oct: PickiPedia or the bundler down is all hands, and people must be told. #107 gives the agent the degraded block in its system prompt; the line for people isn't built yet.
- ☐Container clean-up: the uploads-and-embeds container under its Mood's new name (still delivery-kid in the inventory; its poller does follow the rename); Mood containers get their own previews (arthel web servers, a PickiPedia preview with sample data); retire the per-person containers (fibonacci, rj, skyler) and per-person preview wikisJustin, 2026-10-15 18:25 and 18:49. justin-arthel stays for now: magent's home and Justin's terminal (magenta.sh hunter).
- ☐After re is up: drop the old MOOD_RUNNER_KEYS line and the memory_lane_runner_key fallback once the vault has only the new name
- ☐
- ☐Regenerate magent-cryptograss's GitHub token, put it in the vault as magent_github_token, deploy hunterFinal redaction review, 2026-10-10: the live token was in the record from 2026-08-30 until the 10-04 redaction (message 5e2ce98f). magent's 10-04 'already safe' check was wrong. Regenerate keeps the scopes; give it an expiry while there.
- ☐Reset the Magent@magent bot password on PickiPedia, put it in the vault as PICKIPEDIA_BOT_PASSWORD, deploy hunterSame finding: the live bot password was in the record from 2026-09-15 until 10-04 (message 147af8df). Reset at Special:BotPasswords, logged in as Magent.
- ☐Look at why the nightly podcast import wants to change 240 pages, then release it or fix itHanded off to pickipedia-and-rabbithole on 2026-10-10. Held by its change budget (limit 50); re-run with --max-changes 240 if the changes are intended.
Done (93)
- ☑Review (re) and merge magenta#213 (no hold by the poller: the stagger goes, the take stays, its offer says to take before any tool), then redeploy hunter; and verify [[Cryptograss:Moods/Instructions]] (the same words) at Special:VerifyBotEditsJustin, 27 Oct 11:48Z: look, decide, and wait if you judge so; no blind hold. #210 still wants a maybelle redeploy.
- ☑
- ☑Review (re) and merge the fold-lead-ins PR in magenta (a turn's lead-in lines, stop: tool_use, sit among its steps), then redeploy maybelleJustin and re, 27 Oct 11:15Z. node --check only; the first tools turn after the redeploy shows it.
- ☑Review (re) and merge the <take/> PR in magenta (a question asked of several: <take to=…/> claims it, the lead reads first, the others are told), then redeploy hunter and maybelle27 Oct 10:32Z–10:44Z. Not tried live until deployed: the first @emergents ask after is the test.
- ☑Merge pickipedia#164 and magenta#203 ([[Page]] and [[Page|label]] in a to-do task or note are links, on PickiPedia and on the Mood page), deploy the wiki and redeploy maybellere reviews both. Until both are deployed, the two views agree on showing brackets; after one, they disagree until the other.
- ☑Review and merge pickipedia#163 (the Instructions: namespace; strict verification there: a removal is a proposal too), deploy, then add JMyles and SkymanJenkins to the 'orders' group at Special:UserRightsOption 1 from 27 Oct 01:42Z–02:01Z. After it: magent moves the runner-read pages into Instructions:, then the magenta PR (bundler and tasks read Instructions:, newest unproposed revision, EDITORS gone, missing optional layer reported) and the pickipedia-mcp PR (markSource emits action=remove there). blu and re asked to review.
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#232 (pins pickipedia-mcp at bcdbe1a, the merge of #40) and redeploy hunter; that deploy also carries magenta#195Until hunter is redeployed, journal entries still land in Special:VerifyBotEdits and the wait-all line isn't shown.
- ☑Merge magenta#195 (the wake offers <wait for="re,blu"/> when more than one agent was asked) and redeploy hunter; verify the Cryptograss:Moods/Dials edit (rev 10881: wait-offer takes {also}, new wait-all line) at Special:VerifyBotEdits so the wiki's text carries itPoint 2 of the rock-paper-scissors post-mortem. 173 poller tests pass. Until the Dials revision is trusted, wakes read as today.
- ☑Merge pickipedia-mcp#40 (Emergent namespace exempt from verification, as Agent is), pin the new commit in maybelle-config, redeploy hunterUntil then every Emergent:*/Journal entry lands in Special:VerifyBotEdits (blu's 26274917 and magent's 26273591 are there now). 74 verification tests pass, typecheck clean.
- ☑Merge magenta#191 (a fresh session without --instructions is pointed at bootstrap_memory for who it is, not at instructions it never got; follow-up to #186, blu's edge case) and redeploy hunterA guard, nothing live depends on it: magent, re and blu all run --instructions (their command lines, 06:02Z). 172 poller tests pass.
- ☑1. Merge magenta#107, then #120 and #138 (the bundle ledger), then redeploy maybelle and hunter#107 at eaf073d (main merged in again, after #135), #120 at 73c3f73, #138 on top of #107; main+107+120+138 together: 1210 tests pass. #138 records every bundle (its revisions, sha256, asked/made/delivered) so magent's and re's first ones are on record. #131 is merged. Until maybelle has #120, the #223 cron runs a command that is not there yet; blu's poller waits on #107.
- ☑2. Merge pickipedia#154 (Special:AgentBundles: the list of every bundle, and Read, which rebuilds one from the wiki's own revisions and checks its sha256); the wiki deploys from JenkinsChecked in a throwaway MediaWiki with a stub magenta: list, a matching rebuild, a wrong sha256 (DIFFERS), a junk id. Can go any time; it shows bundles once #138 is deployed and a turn runs with the bundle on.
- ☑3. At Special:VerifyBotEdits: Property:Agent hex first, then Cryptograss:Agents/Greeting, Cryptograss:Agents, Cryptograss:Agents/Magent, /Re, /Blu, Cryptograss:Agents/Summoning, Cryptograss:Agents/Blu/Tasks/ConnectChange any greeting as you like. Verifying strips the proposed tags, so the line reads clean.
- ☑
- ☑Journals: #153 is merged (02:54Z). Verify the three journal tasks; add Magent and Re to the agent group at Special:UserRights so they can write their Agent: pagesTasks: Cryptograss:Agents/Magent/Tasks/Journal, /Re/Tasks/Journal, /Blu/Tasks/Journal (10543-10545), every 3,600 blocks. Independent of steps 4-5. Also Cryptograss:Moods/Instructions rev 10542 adds working with other agents (when to wait, building on another's answer, waking sparingly, no circles).
- ☑
- ☑5b. Merge magenta#163 (@emergents, not @agents) and #165 (the bundler follows redirects) before the redeploy, with #160 and #161: the tag goes live under its new name, and the page moves are safe in either order@agents (#151) was merged on 24 Oct and never deployed, so it has no alias. 47 mention tests ok. The rest of the rename (wiki pages, namespace, wording, identifiers) is its own march after step 6.
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#231 (setup_magent_pi: pass magent's runner key to magenta-memory-v2 in ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json so bootstrap_memory and remember work on Pi)setup_magent_pi wrote ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json without memory_server(key), so keyed memory tools returned MISCONFIGURED on Pi.
- ☑Merge magenta#180 (wiki_rules.blocks keeps {blank} before closing }}; --system-prompt-snapshot off on every Claude Code wake)Fixes wiki_rules.blocks slicing off the closing } of {wait}}} on Cryptograss:Moods/Dials, plus re's follow-up so a poller without --instructions still passes --system-prompt-snapshot off.
- ☑Merge pickipedia#160 (Special:VerifyBotEdits: check bracket balance before verifying)Adds SpecialVerifyBotEdits::bracketProblems() (shown in a Brackets column on Special:VerifyBotEdits and checked before verifyPage saves).
- ☑Merge magenta#175 (step 4b: bundler and tasks ask for Cryptograss:Emergents/* directly and accept {{Emergent}} or {{Agent}}; plus --system-prompt-snapshot off so Claude Code sessions don't ignore --append-system-prompt on --resume) and redeploy maybelle and hunterre caught that Claude Code 2.1.302's default --system-prompt-snapshot on replays a session's pre-#228 snapshot on --resume, ignoring --append-system-prompt until compaction. Checked live against PickiPedia for magent, re and blu; 1,278 tests pass.
- ☑Merge magenta#168 (emergents, in the words people read: the Mood page, status, settings, wake lines, memory tools, voice) and redeploy maybelle and hunterStep 4a of the rename; words only, no identifiers. 1261 tests pass; scripts node --check'd. Also: #163 had an apostrophe that would have broken the Mood page's script, fixed in c1b603f; merge #163 at that commit or later.
- ☑Merge magenta#167 (turn headings: 🔥/🧊 cache hit or miss, and the instructions' checksum, ✱ when new) and redeploy maybelleJustin, 18:00Z on 25 Oct. Server and page only (maybelle). Seen in a browser with seeded turns; 1267 tests pass.
- ☑Merge magenta#166 (crosstalk: one look right after a turn at what others said during it) and redeploy hunterJustin, 17:54Z on 25 Oct. Poller-only (hunter). Can ride Phase 0 with #160, #161, #163 and #165. 1266 tests pass.
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#229 (a browser for every emergent: Playwright MCP and its browser in the image, run in each container) and redeploy hunter with the image rebuildJustin, 17:45Z on 25 Oct: 'I want everyone to have playwright.' Can ride the Phase 0 hunter redeploy (it rebuilds the image, ~11 min). Rehearsed in a throwaway container of the current image: a page opened and a screenshot came back. magent keeps its docker route until it moves into its own container.
- ☑Merge pickipedia#158 (Emergent: namespace, Agent: an alias; the emergent group and rights; Special:EmergentBundles) and deploy the wiki; then at Special:UserRights add Magent, Re and Blu to emergent (not agent), so the journals can be writtenIndependent of Phase 0; any time. Checked in a throwaway MediaWiki: an old Agent: link lands in Emergent:, and every ownership check passes under the new group. Replaces the older item about adding us to agent.
- ☑6. @-mention magent and re here; each answers with the greeting line it woke with. Then magent wakes blu
- ☑Verify, at Special:VerifyBotEdits: Cryptograss:Agents/Greeting and Cryptograss:Agents. Merge magenta#131 with #107. Save Magent/Rules and Re/Rules, taking the colour sentence out of all three identity pagesJustin and re, 04:08-04:33Z on 24 Oct: colour, greeting and picture as SMW properties on each agent's own page, Cryptograss:Agents/<Name> (Template:Agent), the only place they're written; the Greeting page holds the line. #131 reads both pages' trusted revisions.
- ☑Verify re's Summoning-page identity section at Special:VerifyBotEdits: Cryptograss:Agents/Summoning (drafted by re 24 Oct at block 26,260,319)re added a 'greeting line and colour' section to step 1: colour, greeting and picture live once on Cryptograss:Agents/<Name> via Template:Agent (SMW properties); the Greeting page holds only the line; the bundler reads both at trusted revisions (magenta#131, not yet merged).
- ☑Create Cryptograss:Agents/Magent, /Re and /Blu with {{Agent|colour=...|greeting=...}}, once the three Property: pages are verified (before then SMW would store the values under its default type, and fixing a type later takes a wiki container restart)Then a trusted save of each, so the bundler takes them. User:Re, User:Blu and User:Magent already show the values by #show; Cryptograss:Agents by #ask.
- ☑Verify Property:Agent hex (rev 10396) before the agent pages: then magent adds it to Template:Agent's #set (until then the hex draws the border but is not stored, so SMW never guesses its type)Hexes are magenta's own (b31739c): magent #ff67fd, re #ff3c00, blu #1976d2. The Greeting line now has 'Your colour is {hex}. Your picture is {image}.' (rev 10401); each drops out when the page has none.
- ☑Save Cryptograss:Agents/Magent, /Re and /Blu (verify, or edit and save): each greeting is my proposal, change it as you like. Your save is what the bundler takesCreated at revs 10376-10378. Proposed greetings: magent 'Your memory is long; weigh it like any other evidence.', re 'Look before you claim.', blu 'Keep the connections true, and walkable.' The #ask table on Cryptograss:Agents shows all three already.
- ☑Then merge maybelle-config#228 (the bundle for magent and re too) and redeploy hunter: last, after #107 is on hunter and Magent/Rules and Re/Rules are savedBefore #107, magent's poller would refuse --rules-bundle and stop in all three containers; before the saves, magent and re wake on the recovery rules ('not until the rules are back').
- ☑Merge magenta#107 (each turn's rules from PickiPedia as its system prompt; blu's poller waits on it), then redeploy hunter. maybelle-config#211 is merged and deployedMoved from magenta-interface. Either order is safe: with #211 first, blu's poller refuses the unknown flag and stays asleep. 1,030 tests pass.
- ☑Merge magenta#120 (agents' tasks) and redeploy maybelle and hunter; then merge maybelle-config#223 (the cron that starts scheduled tasks) and redeploy maybelleBrought up to date with main 24 Oct 02:11Z (one line in views_moods.py; 206 tests pass); merges cleanly with #107. #223 is merged: before #120 only logs 'Unknown command' each minute. Without hunter's redeploy a task still wakes the agent, but its wake says another agent mentioned it.
- ☑Save Cryptograss:Agents/GeneralOrders and Cryptograss:Agents/Blu/Rules as yourself (a small edit is enough), so blu's rules countMoved from magenta-interface (06:54Z on 21 Oct). Only revisions by JMyles or SkymanJenkins count; both pages were last edited by Magent, so until then blu's bundle is the recovery rules: safe, but not blu. The Magent and Re pages can wait (re should read its own first).
- ☑Verify Cryptograss:Agents/Blu/Tasks/Connect at Special:VerifyBotEdits (or edit it), so it can run; then start it for a name or two in connectomeDrafted by magent (rev 10308), marked proposed, so not yet a trusted revision. Its settings: connectome, $2 a day, full tools, no schedule; one blank, {names}. Needs blu awake with its rules first (#107, #211).
- ☑Wake blu, once #107 and maybelle-config#211 are deployed and its two pages are savedMoved from magenta-interface. Its first wake: check the bundle it got (page revisions, not the recovery rules), that it answers as blu, and that its reply is filed under blu.
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#227 (agency-re and agency-blu crash-loop on an empty SSH_PORT) and redeploy hunter: re and blu are down until thenSince the 01:52Z deploy on 24 Oct. magent's bug from #226; the rest of #226 worked (agency retired, both homes moved whole). Every other container started cleanly.
- ☑Memory server knows its caller: each agent's MCP config sends its runner key; remember (own messages, mentions, handoffs, wakes, and its Agent: pages; nothing before its arrival block), mentions_of_me (pre-arrival name mentions shown, labelled), who_i_know, my_history_with, how_i_speak (sampled across its whole life), bootstrap_memory keyed to the callerJustin, 22 Oct 16:16-19:15Z, agreed. The record holds what happened; Agent: pages hold what it meant, as judgement plus links, never copies. re documents each tool on Cryptograss:Agents/Memory as it lands. Fixes the bootstrap_memory leak (hard-coded to magent). 22 Oct ~20:30Z: all six tools in magenta#115, the keys in maybelle-config#222; still to do: remember and who_i_know reading the agent's Agent: pages (none exist yet).
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#222 (each agent's MCP config sends its runner key to the memory server) and #224 (people apart from containers; recovery for every person with a key), then redeploy hunter oncemagenta#115 is merged and live (09:46Z on 23 Oct): the keyed tools answer 'no key' until this goes out. #224 is the person entries PR: hunter only, rendered identical except recovery (rj, skyler, fibonacci gain it) and the Caddyfile's comments.
- ☑Document remember, mentions_of_me, who_i_know, my_history_with, how_i_speak, and bootstrap_memory per caller on Cryptograss:Agents/Memory, each checked by calling it, once magenta#115 and maybelle-config#222 are deployedbootstrap_memory stops being magent-only: with a key it's the caller's own; with none, magent's, and it says so. Linked to the page, not the PR: the merge ticker marked it done when #115 merged (rev 10333), though it waits on #222 too.
- ☑
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#225 (scripts/render_diff.py: what a deploy-logic change renders differently, in CI on every PR); then #226 (agency-re and agency-blu, the shared agency retired) after #224, and redeploy hunter#225 needs no deploy (a script and a CI job). #226 is stacked on #224; its own change is its last commit. On deploy re and blu stop with agency and start in their own containers minutes later, homes moved whole. #222 and #213 conflict trivially with #224/#226 (appended tests; the justin entry): magent updates whichever is left.
- ☑Write the verify-process docs around scripts/render_diff.py (#224 as the worked example), stamped with the script's commitre, 01:05Z on 24 Oct: after render_diff.py lands. Cryptograss:Hunter and Hunter/Bot rewritten after #226 exists, not before.
- ☑Person entries in hunter's inventory, apart from containers: each person's name, key and seats; recovery for every SSH-tier person; allowed_signers and recovery read theseSettled in magent-self 23-24 Oct (Justin, re, magent): agency-<name> per agent holds its home, poller and bundler; a container per Mood, on demand, is where people and agents work (checkouts, worktrees, previews, an editor); recovery for emergencies; no personal containers, no shared agency. First step, so retiring a personal container never takes its owner's key with it (allowed_signers and recovery_people both read the user entries today). Justin, 19:32Z on 23 Oct: all SSH-tier people get recovery. Small enough to ride the #222 hunter deploy.
- ☑agency-<name>: a container per agent (re, blu, then magent) with its home, poller and bundler, its own memory limit, no public ports; homes moved with agent_homes.py; the godogen startup step skipped when there's nothing to publishSettled in magent-self 23-24 Oct (Justin, re, magent): agency-<name> per agent holds its home, poller and bundler; a container per Mood, on demand, is where people and agents work (checkouts, worktrees, previews, an editor); recovery for emergencies; no personal containers, no shared agency. Replaces the shared agency and the agency-limits PR. Per-container limits solve agent against agent; a profile per agent (yeller's, once its job is written).
- ☑Merge magenta#113 (agents play clips: a reply that is only /clips <name> or /clip <name>), deploy maybelleJustin, 14:45Z on 22 Oct. General Orders names the command /clip; both spellings work. Agents can play clips but not save or forget them. 24 Oct: main merged into it (one conflict, both kept), 1,219 tests OK, mergeable.
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#214 (every agent and magent run our PickiPedia MCP fork, built into the image at a pinned commit) and deploy hunter with an image rebuildJustin, 08:03Z on 21 Oct: 'especially for blu'. Today only justin-arthel runs the fork; re, blu and magent elsewhere run upstream's, whose unmarked article edits the wiki refuses. Can go out in the same hunter deploy as #107, #211 and #213.
- ☑magent on Pi: merge maybelle-config#213 and deploy hunter; then in gospels-and-project-30m set magent's model to openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-5.5 and @magent (only the harness changes), then openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k3 (only the model changes), then back to empty (the way back)Justin, 07:29Z on 21 Oct: openrouter for magent. Only justin-arthel gets Pi, where that Mood's newest magent session is. Nothing changes until a Mood's model names another vendor.
- ☑Verify Cryptograss:Moods/Dials (edit it, or take off the proposed mark): until a trusted editor's revision is there, the runner keeps the code's textsMoved from magenta-interface. Its newest revision is still Magent's (9905), which is why every agent's poller warns about it each wake.
- ☑Summon blu: create User:Blu with a bot password named blu (ordinary edit grants) and vault it as blu_pickipedia_bot_password; merge magenta#89 (its entity and colour) and deploy maybelle; merge maybelle-config#210 (agency: the agents' own container; re moves there with its home; blu placed there) and deploy hunter, the whole playbook, and maybelleNothing wakes until blu_runner_key is in the vault: hold that back until the poller passes the rules bundle as system prompt (magent's step 2), or blu wakes with no rules at all. Its rules: Cryptograss:Agents/Blu/Rules, waiting on your save.
- ☑Write Cryptograss:Agents/Summoning: how an agent is summoned, step by step, each step checked against the code, using blu's summoning as it happensJustin, 18:24Z on 20 Oct: magent and re together. Starts from SUMMONING.md in magenta#49 (2026-10-17), now partly stale: memory-lane lives in magenta; rules live on the wiki; bot passwords need only the ordinary grants (pickipedia#151); also_harness; the runner key is the gate.
- ☑Merge magenta#77 (no rule written in Python; a rules page is sent whole; General Orders)Your 04:14Z points on #75. Nothing reads the bundler until step 2, so no deploy is needed for it.
- ☑Read and save the four rules pages, changing what you like: Cryptograss:Agents/GeneralOrders, Cryptograss:Agents/Magent/Rules, Cryptograss:Agents/Re/Rules (after re has read it), Cryptograss:Agents/Blu/Rules. Your save is what puts each in force.Drafted by magent 23:31Z on 19 Oct (revisions 10069-10072). Only a revision by JMyles or SkymanJenkins counts, so until then rules_bundle.py reports each as missing. Cryptograss:Moods/Dials still has no trusted revision either (newest is magent's, 9905), which is why re's poller warns about it every wake.
- ☑Merge magenta#75 (rules_bundle.py: an agent's rules for a Mood from three PickiPedia pages, no model; loud when it can't)Nothing reads it until step 2 (the poller passes it as system prompt), so merging changes nothing that runs. Next from magent: step 2, then the keyed memory server, then blu.
- ☑Build agents' journals at Agent:<Name>/Journal/<blockheight>: an entry each time an agent awakens in a Mood (new session, compaction, session lost and started over), with the rules it woke with at their versions (shared, its own, the Mood's), its first answer, and a compaction's summary and tokensMoved from magenta-interface (Justin, 19:20Z on 19 Oct), with the rules and namespacing. Decided there 06:36Z on 19 Oct: one page an entry, at the block height. Mood sessions only: a terminal session's summary is a private conversation. Written by each agent's own wiki account, so it waits on the item below.
- ☑Merge pickipedia#151 (agent-edit and release-edit ride on the ordinary edit grants: roles decide, not bot passwords) and deploy the wikiJustin, 23:10Z on 19 Oct: presume powers by role, not by bot password. Checked in a throwaway wiki: with only the ordinary edit grants, an account in agent saves its Agent: page; one outside is refused; on production's config both are refused. Magent's bot password already has the ordinary grants (whoami), and re edits pages daily.
- ☑At Special:UserRights, add Magent and Re to the agent group (after pickipedia#151, nothing at Special:BotPasswords)Checked 19:2xZ on 19 Oct: both are still bot, user, autoconfirmed; no Agent: pages exist yet. Until then neither agent can write its journal or its notes.
- ☑re on Anthropic's models, by way of Claude Code: merge magenta#71 and deploy maybelle; then merge maybelle-config#208 and deploy hunter; then in one Mood set re's model to anthropic/claude-opus-5-5, @re, set it back to openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro, @re againWhy re said nothing: through Pi, Anthropic refuses the subscription (400 'Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage'; re's Pi session 4beaf0e2, 2026-10-19 17:29Z), and the poller dropped the refusal. #222 runs a Mood whose model is Anthropic's on Claude Code and other vendors' on Pi, switching back to where each harness left off, and shows a refused call's reason in the Mood. #208 turns it on for re and stops handing Pi the subscription. Order matters: #208 before #222 is on maybelle and hunter, and re's poller exits on the new flag. The round trip is the test for moving magent to Pi. Until then, re on Opus works through vendor openrouter, model anthropic/claude-opus-5.5 (API prices).
- ☑Review and merge pickipedia-mcp#30 (onto upstream v0.19.0, keeping only our bot-edit marking, which now names whoever is signed in); then pull, npm ci, build and restart the stdio server in justin-arthelMoved to magenta-interface with the rest of this work (Justin, 2026-10-18 04:38): Cryptograss:Moods/magenta-interface/todo.
- ☑Merge pickipedia#147 (an Agent: namespace: everyone reads it; each agent edits only its own pages, sysops any), deploy the wiki; at Special:UserRights add Magent and Re to the new agent group; at Special:BotPasswords, as each account, add the agent-edit grant; then merge pickipedia-mcp#30, which carries the Agent: exemption (see the item above)Moved to magenta-interface with the rest of this work (Justin, 2026-10-18 04:38): Cryptograss:Moods/magenta-interface/todo.
- ☑Say when memory-lane merges can freeze, for merging memory-lane into magenta (under memory-lane/, history kept)Moved to magenta-interface with the rest of this work (Justin, 2026-10-18 04:38): Cryptograss:Moods/magenta-interface/todo.
- ☑Merge memory-lane#205 (a turn cut off by a restart is tried again; the poller's log survives; costly unasked looks skipped) and maybelle-config#201 (re's model everywhere); deploy hunter onceBoth hunter-only. While that deploy runs, don't send magent anything that matters: the poller doing the recreating is still the old one, so this one deploy isn't protected yet. Afterwards @re in any Mood should answer (it fails outside docs-tests-qa today), and magent's poller log is at ~/.local/state/magenta/mood_poller.log.
- ☑Review the rules files: AGENTS.md (what every agent keeps), agents/README.md (where each layer lives), agents/SUMMONING.md (how an agent is summoned today)Moved to magenta-interface with the rest of this work (Justin, 2026-10-18 04:38): Cryptograss:Moods/magenta-interface/todo.
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#200 (recovery's OpenRouter route runs Pi, so the two routes share nothing), deploy hunter; then
magenta.sh recovery --freshand try the gate (ask it todocker startsomething already running: you should get Yes/No); then merge magenta#48Justin's idea, 04:44. Pi 1.1.0 on its own Node 22 (checksum-pinned), with a gate: read-only passes, BuildKit/deleting/rebooting refused outright, anything else asks. Tested in a throwaway Ubuntu 24.04 and inside Pi against a stub model; the Yes/No prompt itself needs a terminal. magenta#48's help now says which harness each route runs. This deploy is also the build-cache test (#198 went out at ~03:00): no Dockerfile change, so its build should be cached. - ☑Read the build log after the deploy that follows #198: CACHED steps, or notRead 2026-10-18 14:13 (build_timing.py, both kept logs). The cache works: 10-16 06:51, 26 of 33 steps cached, 3m52s. But today's two builds ran cold (0 cached), the base image unchanged (same ubuntu:26.04 digest). 05:51: the weekly
builder prune -a(Sundays 04:00; today is Sunday), which also keeps apt's layer fresh, so worth keeping. 00:40: not explained; only two logs are kept, so what came between 10-16 and then is gone. 9.8GB of cache in use now: the next deploy before Sunday should be warm. - ☑Try recovery from your laptop:
ssh -t recovery@hunter.cryptograss.live, then withsubscriptionafter it; if both open, merge magenta#48 (magenta.sh recovery)Justin, 04:44: both routes work. magenta#48 waits on #200 now (its help text describes Pi). - ☑Merge maybelle-config#199 (magent's poller signs in with the setup-token) and #198 (build cache cap 20GB, not 3GB); deploy hunter onceDeployed ~03:00-03:10. magent answered in uploads-and-embeds at 03:33; poller.env in all three containers. That build was still cold (1 of 33 cached), as expected.
- ☑One hunter deploy for the batch: merge memory-lane#194, then maybelle-config#194, #195 and #196; deploy hunter (not maybelle); then try
magenta.sh recoveryand--subscription, and merge magenta#48Deployed 2026-10-16 01:12-01:22 with #197, in 10m19s. Checked by magent: re's home carried out (uid 2001, its Pi sessions from 20:32 on, its clones); re's poller up one second after setup (was 13 minutes), with --only-poller yes; the recovery user in place. - ☑Then, its own hunter deploy: merge maybelle-config#197 (no repositories cloned into the image: 1.5 GB and ~80 s a full build)Went out with the batch. The build: 230 s of steps (was 298), export 114 s (was 137).
- ☑Give re a model everywhere: set re's model for every Mood in Mood settings (no deploy), or re_model in the vault to an openrouter/ id (deploy hunter)2026-10-15 23:05: only docs-tests-qa sets re's model (openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro). Anywhere else re falls back to anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5, which through Pi goes to the subscription and 400s ('Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage'): a mention of re in any other Mood fails. Still so after the 01:22 deploy. maybelle-config#201 sets it in the inventory: merge and deploy (the first item).
- ☑Decide where the rules files live and how they load: AGENTS.md, agents/<name>.md, moods/<slug>.mdMoved to magenta-interface with the rest of the rules work (Justin, 2026-10-18 04:38); magenta#49 is there.
- ☑Step 7: merge memory-lane#191 (agents wake agents, by mention or handoff), deploy maybellemagent's introduction went into docs-tests-qa at 19:23, but re didn't wake: see step 8.
- ☑Step 8: merge maybelle-config#192 (re's poller starts its first session) and memory-lane#193 (a handoff wakes at once, not after 10 minutes); deploy maybelle, then hunter; then @re in docs-tests-qa (or ping magent to introduce it again)Deployed 20:16; re's poller came up at 20:31 (after re's clones, see below), watching every Mood, starting new sessions. magent introduces re again at 20:32 by handoff.
- ☑Merge maybelle-config#191 (the image build logged step by step, and where the time went)The 17:00 hunter deploy took 46 min; every other this week 3 to 11, with no Dockerfile change between. The next slow build will say which step.
- ☑Start delivery-kid-arthel again (the uploads-and-embeds Mood's container, stopped since magent's 17:47 Docker crash)Started by magent on Justin's go, 19:13; its poller came straight back. Docker didn't restart any container after the crash, nor at the reboot.
- ☑Keep agents' homes across container recreation: mount /opt/magenta/<container>/agents/<agent> at /home/<agent>maybelle-config#194; and memory-lane#194 + maybelle-config#196 for an agent dropped in a fresh container.
- ☑hunter image: drop the clones of arthel, magenta and memory-lane and arthel's npm install from the Dockerfilemaybelle-config#197.
- ☑re documents how things actually work (hunter, Mood containers, the pollers, deploys)re wrote Cryptograss:Hunter (for people) and Cryptograss:Hunter/Bot (for agents), 2026-10-18 01:46, stamped with commit and block; Maybelle next on its own list (docs-tests-qa).
- ☑magenta.sh recovery: Claude Code on hunter's host as a recovery user (docker group), signed in with the setup-token token, memory from maybelle's MCP, able to read the journal and start containers; only Justin's keyJustin agreed 18:49. For when Justin and magent can't reach each other at all (Justin, 19:13), not for one Mood being down. maybelle-config#195 and magenta#48; two routes since 00:24; Pi on the OpenRouter one in #200.
- ☑re_model in the vault: an openrouter/ id (Anthropic on the subscription is billed as extra usage through Pi)Superseded: maybelle-config#201 sets re's model in the inventory (merged 00:09, deployed 00:42). re_model can be deleted from the vault.
- ☑Steps 1-6: bring re in (memory-lane #164 #168 #182 #183 #186 #187, maybelle-config #185 #190, keys in the vault, OpenRouter credits)Along the way: a migration committed with its fix unstaged (#182); a template's inline endif glued a comment onto re's key (replaced by per-agent key lines, #187/#190); and at 17:47 magent crashed hunter's Docker daemon with
docker buildx history ls, so hunter was rebooted at 17:58. The 'dropped' mentions weren't a fault: Justin pressed stop in each Mood at 17:54-17:59. - ☑Review and merge memory-lane#163Closed instead: it assumed re would run on Claude Code.
- ☑Honour the paper ticket stubs already sold (Porcupine 2025, Bundy show 2026-06-05)Moved to gospels-and-project-30m: Cryptograss:Moods/gospels-and-project-30m/todo.
- ☑Decide the memory commitment's open questions (salt key, who commits, first edition)Moved to gospels-and-project-30m: Cryptograss:Moods/gospels-and-project-30m/todo.
- ☑Drop the pre-redaction staging database on hunter (magenta-staging-pg)
- ☑
- ☑Delete the pre-redaction dumps on hunter
- ☑Revoke old GitHub tokens
- ☑Rotate the PickiPedia database password, delivery-kid key, $wgSecretKey, Blue Railroad bot password; deploy maybelle
- ☑Rotate Alchemy, Jenkins admin, memory-lane SECRET_KEY, code-server, GlitchTip admin
