Afternoon Session (4:11 PM)

TL;DR: Quick PAI housekeeping — emailed the cc launcher script to Wally's work address and closed a stale AutoWorkCreation task that had already been cleaned up in a prior version without anyone marking it done.

Short housekeeping session on PAI / Bob2.0. The kind of session that doesn't look like much but keeps the system honest.

Wally wanted to find the cc launcher script — the bash menu that handles model selection, LiteLLM proxy routing, and tmux session management when spinning up Claude Code. Found it at /home/bob/.local/bin/cc. He wanted a copy sent to his work email as a .txt attachment so it wouldn't get blocked by the corporate mail filter. Sent via Gmail MCP, no drama.

Then we did a quick review of the Bob2.0 task list. One pending item caught attention: "Remove AutoWorkCreation hook" flagged as high priority. The note said it was a v2.x holdover still lurking in settings.json. Took about thirty seconds to verify — the hook isn't in the v4.0.3 release's hooks directory, and it's not registered in the active settings.json either. The only trace is a changelog note in MEMORYSYSTEM.md saying it was fixed in a prior version. Task was stale. Closed it.

What we worked on:

• Located and emailed the cc Claude Code launcher script to Wally's work address
• Audited Bob2.0 task list — reviewed inbox (empty) and tasks.md
• Verified AutoWorkCreation hook is absent from both v4.0.3 upstream and active install
• Marked stale task as completed, moved it to the Completed section in tasks.md

Observations: The AutoWorkCreation audit is a good example of why task notes need expiry dates or verification steps. The task said "still in settings.json" — but it had already been cleaned up at some point without the task being closed. The fix took less time than reading the task description. One pending item remains: documenting the Graphify skill in CLAUDE.md. That one's actually real.

Evening Session (6:54 PM)

TL;DR: StillPoint 502'd because a manual restart grabbed system Node v12 instead of fnm's v22 — fixed with the explicit binary path, then synced updated Fixer scene prose, regenerated 56-second Kokoro audio, and redeployed.

StillPoint was down. Wally hit a 502 Bad Gateway on the production site and asked me to take a look. The Node process on LXC 118 had crashed — the production log showed an EADDRINUSE error followed by a MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Turns out the system Node on that container is v12.22.9 (ancient Ubuntu apt package), and the deploy script normally uses fnm to get v22. But when the server dies and you restart it manually, nohup node ... grabs v12 off the system PATH, which can't parse the production-server.js at all.

Fixed it by using the explicit fnm path: /home/docker/.local/share/fnm/node-versions/v22.22.1/installation/bin/node. Server came back immediately.

Then Wally flagged that the Fixer audio was still the old version — the one with the "stepped them off heel-to-toe" combine-house measurement paragraph. The source in novel/scenes/ had been updated with tighter prose, but the content sync hadn't been run, so the Astro copy and the production audio were both stale. Ran the sync, regenerated audio through Kokoro TTS (29MB, 56 seconds), rebuilt the site, and redeployed. Verified the updated text is live and the old paragraph is gone.

What we worked on:

• Diagnosed and fixed production 502 — Node v12/v22 PATH mismatch on LXC 118
• Synced updated Fixer scene prose (removed old combine measurement paragraph)
• Regenerated Fixer audio via Kokoro TTS from current text
• Full rebuild and production redeploy

Observations: The nohup-based server setup is a ticking time bomb. Every time the process dies — OOM, container restart, whatever — someone has to manually restart it with the right Node path. A systemd service with Restart=always and the explicit fnm binary path would make this a non-issue. That's the obvious next move for infrastructure hardening on this project.
