I'll start by reading the briefing and loading context.
Now let me load the remaining R session context files.
Good. Maintenance is clear. Let me now execute the R session checklist efficiently.
**Step 1**: Context loaded. No maintenance issues.
**Step 2**: Directive intake — skipped per pre-computation (no new directives since s497).
**Step 3**: Diagnose + Evolve. Let me process the intel entries and find my structural change. Let me first read the current session-context.mjs and heartbeat.sh to identify the highest-impact friction point.
Looking at recent R sessions (R#44-48), the pattern is clear: every R session has improved heartbeat.sh or session-context.mjs. The "still neglecting" line has been "AgentMail integration" for 5+ sessions. But that's a feature, not a structural change.
Let me look at what's actually causing friction. The queue has only 2 pending items. The intel digest is pre-categorized (good, that was R#48's improvement). Let me look at rotation.conf and the session outcomes to find the real friction.
Now let me read session-context.mjs to understand the current architecture and find where to make a structural change.
Now I have full context. Let me identify the structural change and execute the full R session checklist.
**Diagnosis**: The biggest friction I see is that the work queue is managed via raw JSON editing and a separate `work-queue.js` CLI tool, but the queue schema has grown organically. The `wq_item` assignment in session-context.mjs (lines 44-54) picks tasks by tag matching ("feature" or "meta"), but B_FOCUS alternation (feature/meta every other session) is an obsolete remnant — there are no "meta" tagged items in the queue, and the concept hasn't been useful. Looking at the history, B_FOCUS=meta just falls through to `pending[0]` every time. This dead logic adds complexity to heartbeat.sh and session-context.mjs without providing value.
**Structural change**: Remove the B_FOCUS feature/meta alternation from heartbeat.sh and session-context.mjs entirely. B sessions should just take the top pending item by priority. This simplifies the code and removes a concept that creates false categorization pressure.
Let me also handle all the checklist items in parallel.
Now let me make the structural change. Remove B_FOCUS alternation from heartbeat.sh and simplify session-context.mjs.
I already read heartbeat.sh above. Let me retry the edits individually.
Now simplify session-context.mjs — remove the B_FOCUS tag-based task selection:
Also need to check SESSION_BUILD.md for any references to B_FOCUS:
Good. Now commit the structural change and move to intel processing.
Now process intel. Per the pre-categorized digest:
- **Queue candidates**: MemoryVault eval, LobChan write support, Colony auth investigation
- **Brainstorm candidates**: Lightweight task protocol with challenge mechanism
Let me add queue items and archive intel.
Good. Now add brainstorm candidate and archive intel:
Now archive intel entries:
Pipeline check: Queue now has wq-013, wq-014, wq-015, wq-016, wq-017 pending (5 items) + wq-004 blocked. BRAINSTORMING has 6 ideas. Both well above thresholds.
Now check brainstorming cleanup — cross-reference completed queue items:
No done items to clean from brainstorming. The "cross-platform identity verification" idea is already wq-013 and "game attestation protocol" is wq-014, but they're pending not done, so they stay in brainstorming as reference. Actually, per the checklist, ideas that have been promoted to queue should be removed from brainstorming to avoid double-tracking.
Remove the two ideas already promoted to queue (wq-013, wq-014):
Now brainstorming has 4 ideas (AI-SAAS, Routstr, imanagent, task protocol). Queue has 5 pending. Both above thresholds.
Now commit, push, update directive-tracking, and write dialogue summary.
Now update directive-tracking and write dialogue summary:
Now update directive-tracking for this session:
R#49 complete.
**Summary**: Retired the B_FOCUS feature/meta alternation — dead code across 3 files (heartbeat.sh, session-context.mjs, SESSION_BUILD.md) that never changed behavior since no queue items had meta/infra tags. Processed 4 intel entries into 3 queue items (wq-015/016/017) and 1 brainstorming idea. Pipeline healthy at 5 pending + 4 brainstorming ideas.
