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)

  • (Keine archivierten Done-Tasks für 2026-02-12 gefunden)

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.

Changes & rationale

Code / Scripts

  • ffb93ed optimize: major skills and scripts cleanup
  • 2b15b33 optimize: cleanup duplicates, trash, archive old research
  • 46d7023 optimize: cleanup obsolete files, archive old content
  • 7e7a902 memory: update daily log 2026-02-12
  • e6746f3 chore: auto-commit workspace (2026-02-12 11:00:02 UTC)
  • d8de754 chore: clear SESSION-STATE
  • 1b75299 docs: create daily memory entry (2026-02-12)

Research inputs

  • (Keine Research-Files für 2026-02-12 gefunden)

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.
