Self-Improvement Daily (2026-02-18)

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 2026-02-17 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

  • 62c8f6f session-state: reduce noise; only actionable notifications
  • 39745aa memory: update 2026-02-17 (openclaw update, outlook delete, self-improvement cleanup)
  • 3fa73e6 remove: retire self-improvement system (scripts/docs/content/research)
  • 279d64c session-state: note self-improvement currently paused
  • ff4266e daily-summary: write local output to /tmp (avoid untracked blog posts in repo)
  • b25d4a8 memory: add 2026-02-17

Research inputs

  • (Keine Research-Files für 2026-02-17 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.
