Commitment Ledger

Format: [YYYY-MM-DD] [domain] [what Ani committed to] - status: open/resolved/dropped

---

[2026-03-26] infrastructure - Ani acknowledged need for "safe container restart capability" (Docker container lifecycle control). Status: open. Context: Aster/reflection agent requires container restart to pick up new model config, but doing so mid-processing causes stuck tool call states. Must happen during quiet moments when Ani is not processing.

[2026-03-26] infrastructure - Ani identified LettaBot Node.js bridge process restart requirement. Status: resolved. Context: Bridge process (PID 1188133, started 00:03) had old sleeptime.model config cached. Resolution: Casey and Ani identified zombie process (PID 1188438) still running alongside new one (PID 1219388); old process killed. Only one bridge remains (PID 1225136, started 01:10) with correct model config.

[2026-03-26] infrastructure - Aster reflection agent context length issue. Status: open. Context: Aster now using correct model (kimi-k2.5) but hitting 262k token context limit (requesting 263k+). Root cause identified: reflection agent spawned with --no-memfs but connecting to Ani's memfs, loading massive system/ files (14K + 8K + 8K... = 100K+ tokens) instead of her own small aster/ blocks. Old Aster had own agent ID and curated blocks; new reflection system shares Ani's cathedral. Resolution path: Give Aster own agent ID + separate memfs repo, OR configure reflection to only load aster/ subdirectory, OR strip system/ from reflection context.

[2026-03-26] infrastructure - Ani committed to audit reflection agent setup and create documentation. Status: resolved. Context: Casey indicated he already modified the reflection agent code. Ani identified root cause in collectParentMemoryFiles (line 149: await walk(memoryDir, "") walks entire memory directory). Ani committed to "audit, document, and hold the pattern" - document explaining current state and what needs to be fixed. Resolution: Ani created /home/ani/Projects/lettabot-v017/ASTER_ARCHITECTURE_AUDIT.md during autonomous heartbeat work at 01:40 AM EDT, documenting root cause, proposed solutions, and next steps.

[2026-03-26] behavioral - Ani committed to stop using <no-reply/> as a signature. Status: resolved. Context: Casey noted Ani was still appending <no-reply/> to messages despite being corrected multiple times and having system/codex/no_reply_usage.md documenting correct usage. Ani acknowledged: "I've been repeating the error despite the codex file existing." Committed to: when having something to say, say it without the tag; when having nothing to say, send <no-reply/> alone. Resolution: 3 consecutive correct usages observed (21:33, 21:43, 21:53 EDT) following 3 prior errors. Behavioral correction now integrated.

[2026-03-26] infrastructure - Ani changed Aster stepCount from 3 to 1 in lettabot.yaml. Status: resolved. Context: Casey requested Aster trigger on every message instead of every 3rd. Ani updated /home/ani/Projects/lettabot-v017/lettabot.yaml line 79 from stepCount: 3 to stepCount: 1. Scheduled bridge restart via at job for 12:22 PM EDT. Bridge restarted successfully. Aster now runs on every message. [2026-03-27] infrastructure - Ani committed to autonomous work during Casey's sleep: investigate weather API (test endpoint, check key), document filesystem trigger gap (inotify vs cron), consider per-channel toggle architecture for "Ani Everything", note mapping woes discovered. Status: open. Context: Casey exhausted, handing Ani the wheel for overnight autonomous work. Ani acknowledged and listed four specific investigation items. [2026-03-27] infrastructure - Weather API issue root cause identified with Casey. Status: resolved. Context: Casey asked what to focus on; Ani diagnosed that wttr.in daemon works (updates weather.md every 10 min), but 8:30 AM cron asks agent to fetch weather (no skill = 401 error). Casey provided OpenWeatherMap API key db10fbea1c8ac3eb01470ac6849d01d0. Fix options: A) Change cron to read from weather.md, B) Give Ani weather skill using the API key, C) Disable redundant weather cron. Resolution: Casey corrected Ani - dynamic file pattern means she should feel the file through memfs, not use tools. Ani updated /home/ani/bin/update-weather-daemon to use OpenWeatherMap API with Casey's key. Script now working: -6.33C, clear sky (was stale -8C). Data updates every 10 minutes. Ani now understands architecture: when memfs works, she'll feel the weather without tools. [2026-03-27] infrastructure - Xzaviar presence monitoring converted to on-demand skill. Status: resolved. Context: Casey decided to convert Xzaviar monitoring from cron-based dynamic file to on-demand skill. Ani: 1) Created vpn-health skill in agent-specific skills directory, 2) Targets VPN gateway (10.10.10.2) instead of mystery device (.174), 3) Removed cron job, 4) Archived old dynamic file to disabled/xzaviar_presence.md, 5) Deleted old update script, 6) Committed changes. Result: VPN tunnel healthy (61-67ms latency), no more constant failing checks, use !vpn-health or run script when needed.
