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 2026-02-16 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

  • 421564a outlook: install skill + morning check + cleanup automation
  • 12dbb0d memory: update 2026-02-16 (globetrotter reminder, gpt default, outlook skills)
  • 8d19fbf memory: update 2026-02-16 (week review + openclaw update)
  • 59186a4 memory: update 2026-02-16
  • 2e65035 Memory 2026-02-16

Research inputs

  • (Keine Research-Files für 2026-02-16 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.
