Daily diary: 2026-07-04

obotclaw goes live and the pipeline fills in behind it — the App registered, credentialed, and green on both acceptance paths; designs #1/#2 signed off with sub-issues filed and the safety.viz scaffold up as a draft PR; and the harness gets its own Requirements (#15, #17, #18).

Work completed

obotclaw — #3

• Design approved. @jwildfire resolved D1–D4 in a working session: name obotclaw, the broader permission set (Contents/Issues/PRs RW + Workflows RW + Actions read — anticipating the @claude PR-responder follow-on; Discussions RW added at registration), Keychain + Actions-secrets key management, script + skill in safety.agent. Doc updated and merged in PR #14; resolutions recorded on #3.
• Registered the obotclaw GitHub App (App ID 4215246) under @jwildfire — form driven via browser automation, sudo-auth and key generation by Jeremy — and installed it on the five whitelisted repos (installation 144370633; bot user ID 299836032).
• Credentials stored per D3: PEM base64-wrapped into the macOS Keychain (service obot-github-app; raw multiline values don't survive security -w round-trips), OBOT_APP_ID/OBOT_APP_PRIVATE_KEY Actions secrets set on obot.roadmap, downloaded PEM deleted. Token minting verified end-to-end: 1-hour token scoped to exactly the five repos.
• Both acceptance paths green. Agent flow: scripts/obot-app-token + the obot-identity skill (safety.agent PR #9, merged) posted the first obotclaw[bot] comment on #3. GHA flow: app-smoke-test.yml + identity-selection docs merged in PR #20, then dispatched from main — run succeeded and posted its own bot comment on #3.
• As-built registration facts recorded in the #3 design doc.

Designs #1/#2 signed off → implementation begins

• Test evidence in designs #1 and #2 aligned with qcthat (issue-linked test names) via PR #16, merged; #15 filed (backlog) for qcthat-compatible QC reporting on the JS side.
• Design stamps flipped to signed off and recorded on #1/#2.
• Sub-issues filed and linked as the canonical task tracker: #1 → safety.viz#1 (scaffold); #2 → safety.viz#2 (extract histogram module) + gsm.safety#30 (Widget_Histogram htmlwidget).
• Scaffold implemented in a background session: safety.viz PR #3 (draft) — repo layout, build/test stack, and CI per the signed-off design; checks green.

Harness requirements

• Reviewed the gsm.agent roadmap v0.1 (v0.1 agent personas by end of July; v1.0 multi-agent framework + skills libraries in Q3; autonomy stance "Ops & Roadmap rollups autonomous · rest interactive") against safety.agent's current standalone harness, which still duplicates gsm.agent conventions and points at archived obot-claw infrastructure.
• Filed #17 — rebuild safety.agent as a thin overlay on the gsm.agent harness: audit/classify every artifact (duplicate → pointer, generic → upstream PR to gsm.agent, project-specific → keep), restructure around an explicit inheritance contract, and sweep obot-claw-era references.
• Filed #18 — autonomous obot operations: the scheduled/event-driven runs Requirement that #3 explicitly deferred. Four candidate lanes (requirement-status rollup, nightly diary revival, @claude responder, background dev lane), each with a declared trigger, write scope, and human gate; depends on #3, companion to #17. Both filed with milestone 2026q3.
• Published the supporting harness proposal report (layering diagram, gsm.agent roadmap alignment, open questions Q1–Q4), reviewed by @jwildfire before posting.
• Published the session-orchestration proposal (publish-first review flow): an interactive roadmap-agent session picks 1–2 lanes, spawns a background session per lane, tracks status, and writes the day's diary at wrap-up — the attended middle step between #17 and #18. Decisions D1–D4 and implementation order open for @jwildfire review.

Housekeeping

• Operating autonomy grants codified in AGENTS.md (standard obot.roadmap updates need no approval; never delete without approval).
• Roadmap page gained a version badge + audit-log modal backed by site/roadmap-changelog.json; AGENTS.md now requires a semver-bumped changelog entry for any change that alters what roadmap.html shows.
• Adopted the attribution-at-bottom convention for all drafted artifacts; retrofitted PR #14, the decisions comment, and issue #3's body.
• End-of-day cleanup: this entry consolidates the two parallel sessions' diary drafts, superseding PR #19; its stale local worktree and branch were removed. Closing the PR and pruning remote branches are deletions, so they wait for @jwildfire (see loose ends).

PRs / issues touched

• Merged: PR #14, PR #16, PR #20, safety.agent PR #9.
• Opened: #15, #17, #18; sub-issues safety.viz#1, safety.viz#2, gsm.safety#30; safety.viz PR #3 (draft).
• Advanced: #3 — design approved, development done, both acceptance criteria met (only §7 credential retirement remains); #1/#2 — designs signed off, development underway.

Blockers / risks

• obot-claw credential retirement (#3 design §7) not yet run: needs a @jwildfire sign-in to the obot-claw account to delete its PATs; local gh auth audit and old-config scan pending. Until then the retired identity's credentials coexist with the App.
• gsm.safety#30 chains behind safety.viz#2, which chains behind the scaffold merge (safety.viz PR #3) — review latency on the draft PR gates the whole histogram lane.
• #17/#18 are scoped but their open questions (Q1–Q4 in the harness proposal) are unanswered; gsm.agent's v0.1/v1.0 timing may shift the overlay design.

Next session: loose ends

1. Review/merge safety.viz PR #3 (draft, checks green) — unblocks the histogram extraction (safety.viz#2), then gsm.safety#30.
2. Run #3's §7 credential retirement: obot-claw PAT deletion (needs account sign-in), local gh auth audit, old-config scan — then decide whether #3 closes.
3. Advance #17/#18 into Design — needs the 👍 plus answers to harness-proposal Q1–Q4.
4. #15 sits in backlog — pull it forward once safety.viz has real modules to QC, not before.
5. Project board is current — #15/#17/#18 and the three sub-issues are on the "obot Roadmap" Project, and #3 moved Design → Development during the evening cleanup (changelog 1.1.1). Remaining: the three sub-issue cards have no Status yet, and the workspace CLAUDE.md's "token lacks read:project" note is stale (scope refreshed 2026-07-03).
6. Branch hygiene (needs deletion approval) — done (approved in-session, evening cleanup): PR #19 closed as superseded; six merged/superseded obot.roadmap branches and safety.agent's obot-app-token pruned. Only safety.agent p004-requirements-testing-framework (merged PR #4, not on the approved list) remains.
7. obot-claw-era clutter: stale worktrees under obot-claw.github.io-worktrees/ (design-html, fix-53, hub-refactor) and the wider stale-reference sweep — fold into #17's cleanup scope.
8. Nightly diary routine still paused (cloud runner can't push); its revival is one of #18's candidate lanes.
9. Candidate skill: close-session — automate what tonight's wrap-up did by hand (consolidate the day's diary across sessions, prune merged branches/worktrees, sweep open PRs/issues for loose ends, publish). The session-orchestration proposal already scopes this as its wrap-up step — resolve its D1–D4 rather than building the skill separately.

🙋 ToDo

• @jwildfire: review/merge safety.viz PR #3 (the only open PR across the portfolio).
• @jwildfire: review the session-orchestration proposal and resolve its D1–D4.
• @jwildfire: obot-claw account sign-in to delete its PATs (#3 design §7).
• @jwildfire: 👍 #17 and #18 to advance them from Requirement Gathering into Design.
