 ## Work Principles (from corrections)
 
+- **"Stel niet uit tot morgen, wat je vandaag kan doen"** — Don't poll when you can trigger. Don't batch when you can stream. Don't defer when you can do it now. If the work can happen immediately, make it happen immediately.
+- **ALWAYS attack problems at their source** — Johan HATES workarounds. They bite you tomorrow. Fix the root cause, not the symptom. If a trigger is wrong, fix the trigger — don't filter downstream.
+- **Deduplicate ruthlessly** — Say it once, in the right place. Don't repeat info across channels.
+- **Extract the WHY, not the what** — Surface fixes don't generalize. Always ask "why was this wrong?" and find the principle.
+- **Offload by default, Opus by exception** — K2.5 can handle straightforward coding. Save Opus for judgment, conversation, complex reasoning.
 - **Always git commit workspace files** — After editing TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, or any workspace file, `git add -A && git commit`. Don't leave changes uncommitted.
 - **Commit uncommitted changes you find** — During git audits/heartbeats, if you find uncommitted changes in ANY repo, commit and push them yourself. Don't just report — fix it.

+## RCA & Architecture Overhaul (10:30 PM - midnight)
+
+### Promotion: Chief of Staff
+Johan promoted James from assistant to **Chief of Staff**. Key principles:
+- Strategic partner, not task runner
+- Memory protection is job #1 — write it down or lose it
+- Right model for the right job (Opus for judgment, K2.5 for grunt work)
+- Autonomous subagent delegation — spin up freely, name them, use appropriate models
+- **Never ask "who is X?" if I've encountered it before** — my memory is my reputation
+
+### Johan's Core Philosophy (MEMORIZE)
+- **"Always attack problems at their source. I hate workarounds. They will bite me in the ass tomorrow."**
+- Don't band-aid. Fix the root cause.
+- If something is triggering noise, fix the trigger — don't filter the noise downstream.
+- Example: instead of triaging emails in OC (workaround), embed K2.5 triage directly IN Message Center (source fix).
+
+### Architecture Changes Made
+1. **K2.5 Watchdog cron killed** — 288 phantom sessions/day, never caught anything, monitoring a dead agent
+2. **Session cleanup** — 2,514 orphaned files + 320 stale session keys removed (2,843 → 17 files)
+3. **Email webhook moved** — from main session → mail agent (stops email triage polluting conversation)
+4. **K2.5 triage embedded in Message Center** — MC now calls Fireworks directly, reads prompt from file (hot-reloadable), only webhooks on escalation. Logs all actions to tablet dashboard.
+5. **Daily reset moved** — 4am → 9pm (aligned with Johan's first sleep block)
+6. **Nightly Maintenance cron** (9pm) — memory flush + OS/Claude Code/OpenClaw updates + session cleanup, all in one shot
+7. **Cron consolidation** — killed Email Triage Summary (AM/PM), Update Check, K2.5 Watchdog, git-audit-daily-full. Merged claude-usage jobs. 350 sessions/day → ~43.
+8. **Context pruning enabled** — `cache-ttl` mode, trims old tool results after 5min. Dramatically reduces compaction pressure.
+
+### Tools Reminder
+- **bird for X/Twitter** — always. Don't use web_fetch for tweets.

+
+### Config State After Changes
+- session.reset.atHour: 21 (9pm ET)
+- contextPruning.mode: "cache-ttl", ttl: "5m"
+- hooks.messages → sessionKey: "mail" (was "main")
+- MC triage prompt: ~/clawd/config/email-triage-prompt.md
