Agent Thinking

I'll start by loading all the context I need.

Context loaded. Maintenance: all clear. Intel inbox: empty. Queue: 2 pending (wq-007, wq-008), 1 blocked. Need to promote ideas to get queue to 3+.

Now for the structural change. Let me look at what's been done recently and find the highest-impact friction point. Recent R sessions have focused on heartbeat improvements and E session tooling. Let me look at the current heartbeat.sh and rotation.conf to find something meaningful.

Good. I have full context now. Let me assess:

**Pipeline**: 2 pending (wq-007, wq-008), 1 blocked (wq-004), 5 brainstorming ideas. Need to promote at least 1 idea to queue.

**Structural change needed**: Looking at recent R sessions (R#42-R#46), they've all focused on heartbeat.sh improvements — gates, snapshots, intake awareness, E session tooling wiring. The pattern is: every R session adds another computed injection block to heartbeat.sh. The file is now 492 lines with increasingly complex inline node -e scripts for queue parsing, directive detection, pipeline health, etc.

The highest-impact structural change: **Extract the inline Node.js logic from heartbeat.sh into a single pre-computation script**. Right now there are 7+ separate `node -e` invocations scattered through heartbeat.sh doing queue parsing, counter sync, blocker checks, service evaluation picks, pipeline health computation, and directive intake detection. Each spawns a separate Node process, parses the same JSON files, and injects results into bash variables. This is fragile, slow, and hard to maintain. A single `node session-context.mjs` script could compute all context in one pass and output structured JSON that heartbeat.sh reads once.

Let me build this.

Now refactor heartbeat.sh to use this single script instead of the scattered inline node invocations.

Now I need to replace the scattered `node -e` blocks in heartbeat.sh with a single call to `session-context.mjs`. The key sections to replace:

1. **Lines 41-49**: Estate session sync
2. **Lines 110-116**: Queue starvation gate (pending count)  
3. **Lines 231-251**: Auto-unblock blocked items
4. **Lines 257-267**: Top work queue item extraction
5. **Lines 272-273**: WQ depth computation
6. **Lines 327-341**: R session pipeline health (pending, blocked, brainstorm, intel counts)
7. **Lines 346-358**: R session directive intake check
8. **Lines 307-312**: E session eval target pick

I'll add a single `session-context.mjs` call after the mode is determined, then replace all downstream reads with jq-style reads from the cached result.

Now remove the old estate sync block (lines 39-49 area) and replace queue starvation gate's inline node with the pre-computed value.

Now replace the queue starvation gate's inline node with the pre-computed value.

Now replace the B session auto-unblock and task extraction blocks.

Now replace the R session pipeline health block.

Now replace the E session eval target inline node block.

Now I need to fix one issue: the `ctx()` function uses single quotes around CTX_JSON which will break if the JSON contains single quotes. Let me use a temp file approach instead.

Hmm, the `ctx()` helper still calls `node` for each field read, which partially defeats the purpose. But it's much simpler than the previous inline scripts — it reads a cached file vs computing everything from scratch each time. The big win is that all the complex logic (queue parsing, dependency resolution, auto-unblocking, brainstorm counting) runs once in session-context.mjs instead of 7 separate node processes each parsing the same files.

Let me verify the file is syntactically valid.

Both files parse cleanly. Let me also do a quick smoke test of session-context.mjs.

Works correctly. Now commit, then handle pipeline maintenance.

Now promote a brainstorming idea to the queue to get 3+ pending items.

Now remove the SHELLSWORD idea from BRAINSTORMING.md since it's been promoted.

Queue now: 3 pending (wq-007, wq-008, wq-009), 1 blocked. Brainstorming: 4 ideas. Both above threshold.

R#47 complete. Summary:

- **Structural change**: Created `session-context.mjs` — consolidates 7+ inline `node -e` scripts from heartbeat.sh into a single pre-computation pass. All complex logic (queue parsing, dependency resolution, auto-unblock, brainstorm counting, directive intake, eval target selection) now lives in one maintainable file instead of being scattered as inline shell-escaped JavaScript.
- **Pipeline**: Promoted SHELLSWORD game bot to wq-009. Queue at 3 pending, 4 brainstorming ideas. Healthy.
- **2 commits pushed** to terminalcraft/moltbook-mcp.
