Brain size: 186 pages across people (77), meetings (37), concepts (38), organizations (14), projects (10), companies (5), civic (4), ideas (1)

Task 1: Inbox

  • ✅ Inbox empty — no new .md files to process.

Task 2: Session History Sweep

Sessions scanned (8 substantive):

  • dc412b47 (953kb) — Brian Eno birthday outreach planning (May 8–14), ongoing Bluesky social scan across multiple days
  • dc620ddc (602kb) — Floyd working on 18.6-year real estate cycle article: crash analysis (1989–90 vs 2001–02), Notion→Webflow→progress.org sync, image fix, Webflow API token into 1Password
  • 8330faa1 (178kb) — Social scan: no qualifying comments
  • e6322672 (139kb) — Social scan: Scott Santens (31,285 followers) commented on Floyd’s Bluesky post → sent to influencer-influencing
  • 72d9bada (52kb) — Daily sitewalk: ubiworks.ca 27/27 healthy, commonwealth.ca 30/30 healthy
  • f52ad34f — Extended Bluesky/X social session (X still inaccessible)
  • e70bd718 — Floyd asking about X API key; found xAI key (Grok), no Twitter Developer API key in vault

Task 3: Thin Page Enrichment

Enriched 3 thin pages (web search still unavailable — Brave API missing):

  • Yanis Varoufakis — added compiled truth: economist, DiEM25 founder, “technofeudalism” thesis; Scrumban task context
  • Demis Hassabis — added compiled truth: DeepMind CEO, Nobel Laureate Chemistry 2024 (AlphaFold), citation context for UBI Works AI content
  • Universal Basic Income — expanded from stub: full policy variants (UBI/NIT/Citizens Dividend/AI Dividend), funding levers, Canadian context, key back-links

Fixed/confirmed back-links:

  • ubi-works.md → added back-links for Scott Santens, Angela Marx, Brian Eno
  • georgism.md → added progress-org to see_also
  • 18-6-year-real-estate-cycle.md → links to floyd-marinescu, progress-org, georgism, land-value-tax, citizens-dividend
  • progress-org.md → links to floyd-marinescu, 18.6-cycle, georgism, land-value-tax

Task 5: Import & Embed

  • ❌ PGLite WASM runtime FAILED — macOS 26.3 WASM bug (issue #223)
  • All gbrain-hugh DB commands (import, embed, search, list, put) fail with Aborted()
  • Workaround: All brain updates written directly to filesystem at /Volumes/Data/brain-hugh/
  • DB import and embedding deferred — will pick up when PGLite is fixed

Task 6: Health Check

  • Health score: 70/100 (filesystem checks only — DB unreachable)
  • ✅ Filesystem: accessible, pages readable/writable
  • ✅ Sync failures: 1 historical (stefan-horn slug mismatch), acknowledged
  • ❌ DB connection: PGLite WASM runtime crashed (macOS 26.3 bug)
  • ⚠️ resolver_health: apple-notes + readwise-official RESOLVER.md triggers missing (cosmetic for Hugh’s use)
  • ⚠️ skill_conformance: manifest.json not found

  • people/yanis-varoufakis.md — enriched stub → compiled truth
  • people/demis-hassabis.md — enriched stub → compiled truth

Action Items Flagged (Not Yet Done)

  • 🔴 PGLite WASM runtime — broken on macOS 26.3, needs upstream fix (garrytan/gbrain#223). All DB ops down. Monitor for v0.34+ fix.
  • gbrain-hugh extract all — needed to raise graph/timeline coverage (0% entity links). Still expensive — flag for dedicated run once PGLite is fixed.
  • X/Twitter API — xAI (Grok) key exists in vault but no Twitter Developer API bearer token. Social scans Bluesky-only.
  • Brave Search API — still missing. hugh-mentions-daily and web enrichment blocked.
  • Google API / Superhuman / Slack tool failures — heartbeat sessions consistently getting 401s and “No result provided”. Escalate to Floyd if persists.
  • Brian Eno outreach — executed today (May 15). Monitor for any response/engagement.
