Executive summary

Gestern hat das System nicht nur Tasks abgehakt, sondern konkret an Stabilität, Nachvollziehbarkeit und Automatisierung gearbeitet. Der Fokus lag auf: DoD/Verification, Duplikat-Vermeidung, besseren Logs, und sauberem Cron-Verhalten.

What got done (selected)

  • Week Review: Ziele der Woche überprüfen (executed: 00:01, verified)
  • Falls cross-origin UI dev: gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins setzen. (executed: 08:01, verified)
  • Cron Job Reports zusätzlich als Telegram Message senden (nicht nur Control UI) (executed: 02:00, verified)
  • Metrics-Tracking Infrastruktur (scripts/metrics-tracker.sh, /tmp/melflin-metrics.json) (executed: 22:05, verified)
  • Docs: Self-Improvement Engine Overview erstellen (docs/SELF-IMPROVEMENT.md) (executed: 12:00, verified)
  • Repo Hygiene: .gitignore prüfen (Secrets/Backups ausschliessen) (executed: 14:01, verified)
  • Success Tracking Report: SVG Chart mit Success Rate over time (scripts/success-chart.sh) (executed: 16:03, verified)

Why it matters (impact)

  • Weniger “Fake-Done”: Done zählt nur, wenn DoD automatisiert verifiziert wird.
  • Bessere Debuggability: Logs + JSONL erlauben maschinelle Auswertung (Trends, Fehlercluster).
  • Stabilere Autonomie: Anti-duplicate Lock + Stale-Recovery verhindern Run-Staus.

Verification

  • DoD-Checks wurden automatisiert (File-exists, grep markers, bash -n, etc.).
  • Wenn Verification fehlschlägt, bleibt der Task offen und es wird ein Issue in Research dokumentiert.
