Personal OS — State Snapshot (2026-04-27)

Current state of the system after the personal-os-catchup-plan-2026-04-27 was executed. Supersedes earlier state and v3 plan documents.

Infrastructure (✅ live)

Postgres on Mac — tables: tasks, stories, task_edges, sync_state, signal_queue, activity_daily (+ quadrant col), plus new corrections_log, executor_runs. See personal-os-schema.
sync.js — 4-source Asana fetch, incremental deltas, sweepRecentlyCompleted
generate-status.js — DB → status.md + asana_context.md; live blocks: 5 advisor opps, 8 visibility gaps, 10 executor queue items in first run
ActivityWatch — DDG browser + Xcode watchers
Hermes v0.11.x — launchd daemon ai.hermes.gateway, Claude Code OAuth, claude-sonnet-4-6
Discord bot Орёл#0898 — channels #daily-brief #inbox #focus #executor #projects #journal #retrospector

See personal-os-architecture and personal-os-sync-pipeline for component detail.

Schedule

Hermes cron jobs (8): data-pipeline (every 30min), morning-brief (08:30), eod-summary (18:00), inbox-check (every 30min, 9-19), weekly-plan (Mon 08:00), weekly-review (Fri 17:00), retrospector (Fri 17:30 → #retrospector), commit-vault (23:00).

launchd agents (Mac-level, fire on wake):

personal.os.heartbeat — :05 hourly watchdog, triggers missed Hermes one-per-day jobs
personal.os.wiki-ingest — 22:00 daily, runs local claude -p (filesystem access requires local subprocess, not Hermes API agent)

Vault

~/obsidian/ — git remote ssh://truenas_admin@mallexxx.duckdns.org/mnt/RED_2TB/storage/git/obsidian-vault.git. Layout: wiki/ (LLM-generated + hand-written, see wiki-ingest-process), raw/ (symlinks), work/ and personal/ (Eagle-writable per vault-filling-guide), family/. Phase 8 of catchup added 43 .cursor/rules/*.mdc files under work/wiki/apple-browsers/.

Catch-up plan execution status

#	Item	Status
1	Schema (corrections_log, executor_runs, quadrant)	✅
2	MS365 MCP in Hermes	🟡 cloud connector only; no local npm package; available to `claude -p` jobs once added to CLI env
3	inbox-triage STEP 0	✅
4	generate-status: advisor + visibility + executor queue	✅
5	generate-status: quadrant + activity_daily upsert	✅
6	retrospector SQL blocks	✅
7	SOUL.md corrections_log INSERT	✅
8	Vault consolidation (43 .mdc)	✅
9	Executor PR template inline	✅
10	Executor v2 prompt	✅ written, not yet run end-to-end

Executor v2 architecture (Phase 4 plan)

Autonomous worker: evaluates backlog → picks task → spawns sub-agent in Discord thread under #executor → streams progress → produces draft PR → self-reviews → CI loop → surfaces in daily/weekly briefs.

Triggers: user-initiated (fix [task] in #executor), scheduled (Friday weekly-review queue), status-driven (Eagle reads ## ⚡ Executor Queue from status.md).

Qualification SQL: assigned to Alex, not completed, no stories in 14+ days, due within 30 days.

Worker flow: Eagle creates Discord thread → spawns sub-agent (--worktree mode, workdir ~/DuckDuckGo/apple-browsers.git/.claude/worktrees/executor-<gid>-<slug>/) → posts streaming updates per phase → opens PR → self-review comment → polls gh pr checks every 10min → on red, auto-fix max 3 attempts then escalate.

Phases: 4a evaluation engine · 4b worker spawning + threads · 4c PR + CI loop · 4d feedback loop on PR comments · 4e scheduled evaluation.

Key decisions (divergence from earlier plan v3)

wiki-ingest moved from Hermes cron → launchd claude -p subprocess. Filesystem I/O requires local process; Hermes API agents have no filesystem.
personal-wiki MCP dropped, replaced with stock obsidian-mcp against ~/obsidian/. The DB-backed wiki was never built; vault is the source of truth now.
Single heartbeat watchdog instead of per-job launchd plists — simpler, covers wake-from-sleep for all one-per-day jobs.
Retrospector extracted to standalone retrospector.md + own cron + #retrospector channel, separating "what moved" (review) from "what's the pattern" (retro).
NAS git path moved to /mnt/RED_2TB/storage/git/ — /home/ lives on TrueNAS boot pool which is wiped on OS updates.
Phase 2-family deferred until after Phase 4 — Executor v2 has higher leverage than family infra.
Executor v1 manual-only with explicit STOP gates — first autonomous code-changing agent stays conservative.
wiki-ingest prompt rewritten DB-first → file-based with SHA256 frontmatter content_hash. See wiki-ingest-process.

Open questions before Executor v2 starts (all resolved)

Repo: ~/DuckDuckGo/apple-browsers.git/ bare repo, sibling worktrees, main at main/
Worktree path: .claude/worktrees/executor-{gid}-{slug}/
Xcode scheme: DuckDuckGo macOS, .xcworkspace required, xcbeautify required
PR template: pull-request.mdc strict gates overridden by Executor v2 (task known, reviewer=@me, description auto-generated)
Cleanup: git worktree remove --force + git push --delete + stop/delete VM
UI test VM: ddg-vm MCP at ~/Developer/virfield/server/mcp-server.ts, VirtualBuddy at ~/Documents/VirtualBuddy/

Tech debt

Morning brief never smoke-tested (first real run = next 08:30) — Medium
work/projects/ empty (Eagle fills on first relevant conversation) — Low
executor-bug-fix.md v1 still manual-only — replaced by v2 architecture above — Medium
wiki-ingest claude -p runs without --allowedTools — Low
NAS SSH key in boot-pool /home/ — High; authorized_keys will be wiped on TrueNAS update; move under /mnt/RED_2TB/
Hermes memory ~/.hermes/memory/ not backed up — Low

Deferred — Phase 2-family

VPS (Ubuntu 24.04 $5/mo) family_db postgres + family Hermes instance + iCloud vault sync (~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/) for wife's iPhone Obsidian + NAS hourly rsync. Resumes after Phase 4.
