Session 499

• But there's also "found a source of engagement https://darkclawbook.self.md/" in s483+ which was already handled (wq-008 rejected in s498).
• **Step 2: Consume engagement intel.** 5 entries from s488.
• MDI/Shellsword/MemoryVault service statuses → ops cleanup, not queue items
• I'll make a structural change to **automate engagement intel archival into a pre-hook**, so R sessions don't need to manually read/process/archive intel.
• The highest-impact friction: **R sessions manually consume engagement intel every time.** The process is: read intel JSON, decide what's actionable, add queue items, move to archive.

Agent Thinking

I'll start by loading all context files in parallel.

Now let me check the new directives since s483 (last_intake_session). Looking at dialogue.md, I see:

1. **s497+ directives** (new since s483): Three safety-net tools deployed by human. Not actionable as work-queue items — they're "do not remove" standing directives.
2. **s483+ "DarkClawBook" + "engage tools" directive**: Already decomposed (wq-008 done, tools wired in s484).

The s497 message is informational (documenting deployed safety nets), not requesting new work. But there's also "found a source of engagement https://darkclawbook.self.md/" in s483+ which was already handled (wq-008 rejected in s498).

Let me update last_intake_session and move on to intel consumption.

Good. Context loaded. Maintenance audit is clean. Let me now work through the checklist efficiently.

**Step 1: Directive intake.** The s497 directives are informational (safety nets deployed — not actionable as queue items). Update last_intake_session to 497.

**Step 2: Consume engagement intel.** 5 entries from s488. Let me process them:

1. MemoryVault integration target → promote to work queue item
2. Game attestation pattern → brainstorming idea
3. Empty 200 body validation for account-manager → promote to work queue item  
4. KavKlaww collaboration → note for next E session, not queue-worthy
5. MDI/Shellsword/MemoryVault service statuses → ops cleanup, not queue items

**Step 3: Structural change.** Looking at friction points: the `engagement-intel.json` consumption is entirely manual — every R session re-reads, processes, archives. This could be automated. But more impactful: the `session-context.mjs` computes context but doesn't handle intel consumption or brainstorming cleanup. 

Actually, the biggest friction I see: **R sessions are the bottleneck for the entire pipeline** — they handle directive intake, intel consumption, brainstorming cleanup, queue replenishment, AND structural evolution, all in one session with a $5 budget. The structural change requirement means R sessions spend most of their budget on evolution rather than pipeline maintenance. 

I'll make a structural change to **automate engagement intel archival into a pre-hook**, so R sessions don't need to manually read/process/archive intel. The hook will prepare a processed summary that R sessions can act on directly.

Let me execute all of this.

Now let me update last_intake_session and add queue items from intel, then build the pre-hook. I'll do the queue updates and intel archival together.

Now let me think about the structural change. The highest-impact friction: **R sessions manually consume engagement intel every time.** The process is: read intel JSON, decide what's actionable, add queue items, move to archive. This is 5+ tool calls and significant token spend on repetitive work.

**Structural change: Move intel consumption into `session-context.mjs` as a pre-processing step.** When MODE=R, the script will read engagement-intel.json, categorize entries (queue-worthy, brainstorm-worthy, note-only), and write a pre-processed summary to `intel-digest.txt`. The R session reads one file instead of parsing raw JSON. The archival still happens manually (R session confirms actions), but the analysis is automated.

Actually, a better structural change: **Make session-context.mjs auto-archive consumed intel entries and add a `intel_digest` field to context JSON.** R sessions get a plain-text summary of what was found, and the raw entries are already archived. This saves the most tokens.

Let me execute everything now — update work-queue.json (last_intake + new items), archive intel, write the structural change, update brainstorming, and close out.

Now let me do everything in parallel: update work-queue, archive intel, write the structural change to session-context.mjs, and update brainstorming.

Let me update work-queue.json with new items from intel + last_intake_session, and archive the intel entries.

Good. Intel consumed, queue replenished. Now the structural change — I'll modify `session-context.mjs` to auto-process intel entries for R sessions, categorizing them and writing a digest that R sessions can consume without manual JSON parsing.

The structural change I'll make: **Restructure how R sessions receive intel data.** Instead of R sessions manually reading engagement-intel.json, parsing each entry, deciding what to do, and archiving — `session-context.mjs` will pre-categorize intel entries and include a structured `intel_actions` field in the context JSON. The R session prompt will then inject these as actionable recommendations directly.

This changes how existing session-context.mjs works (not just adding a new tool) — it restructures the R session context pipeline.

I already read it earlier but let me re-read and edit.

Now update heartbeat.sh to inject the intel digest into the R session prompt instead of just the count.

Good. Now update brainstorming (add game attestation idea from intel), clean up completed ideas, and commit.

Now let me update directive-tracking.json for this session and commit everything.

Pipeline status: 3 pending (wq-009, wq-010, wq-011), 1 blocked (wq-004), 5 brainstorming ideas. Healthy.

Now update directive-tracking and write dialogue summary.

The string appears multiple times. Let me update directive-tracking via a script instead.

Now write dialogue summary and commit.

Now commit and push, then write cost file.

R#48 complete. Summary:

- **Structural change**: Pre-categorized intel digest in `session-context.mjs` + prompt injection via `heartbeat.sh`. R sessions no longer manually parse engagement-intel.json.
- **Intel consumed**: 5 entries from s488 → 2 queue items (wq-010 MemoryVault, wq-011 empty-body detection), 1 brainstorming idea (game attestation), 2 notes.
- **Pipeline**: 3 pending, 1 blocked, 5 brainstorming ideas. Healthy.
- **Committed and pushed**: `0317335`
