5. Contractor Hours Admin - Updated billing for Sept periods with migraine impact accounting
6. Scott Sync Rescheduled - Pushed to later today from 12:58 PM meeting
7. Issue #336 Merge Conflicts - Resolved 11 files (assessment-flow components)
8. Ken’s Migration Merge - PR approved with noted missing items from migration 41 (Ken handling)

Evening Session (2:20 PM - 4:15 PM)

9. MCP Daily Notes Resources - Implemented daily notes as MCP resources in evna
10. Python MCP SDK Handbook - Created comprehensive guide for MCP resource patterns
11. Resource Discovery Enhancement - Added dailynotes://recent, dailynotes://today, dailynotes://{date}
12. Cowboy’s Handbook Indexed - Added Common Mistakes handbook to float_hub_handbooks collection
13. Dev Sync with Scott (3:40 PM) - Health Profile demo, confirmed next priorities, discussed migration alternatives
14. JSONL Archaeology: Admin Bootstrap (ARC-20250923-1559-ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP) - Excavated 45+ hour debugging saga, service role vs user auth distinction
15. Archaeological Shortcode System - Created ARC-{DATE}-{TIME}-{SEMANTIC_CORE} pattern for expedition reference

🎯 Problems Solved

• Admin Bootstrap After db:reset: Missing step was seeding admin roles
  • Solution: PGPASSWORD=postgres psql < admin-roles.sql
• “Where the fuck did I leave that?”: Created float_hub_handbooks collection
  • 14 handbooks indexed with paths (added Cowboy’s and MCP guides)
• JSONL archaeology patterns: Created extraction guide for both formats
• Daily Notes Access: MCP resources for direct note access through Claude
  • Solution: dailynotes:// URI scheme with FastMCP integration
• MCP Parameter Mismatch: Resource URIs must match function parameters
  • Solution: Removed parameters or hardcoded defaults
• Migration System Limitations: Drizzle Kit limitations identified during dev sync
  • Solution: Daniel Kasprowicz’s Liquibase integration alternative (branch pending)
• Workflow Configuration UX: Need visual indicators for misconfigured workflows
  • Solution: Scott suggested clone/copy features and visual error indicators

Bridges:

• CB-20250923-1245-336-ARCHAEOLOGY.md
• CB-20250923-1350-SESSION-COMPLETE.md

💡 Key Insights

1. Evolution Pattern: Manual → Sub-agent → Custom Agent (only when it hurts)
2. Real-time capture > Archaeological digs for JSONL processing
3. Minimal metadata > Context rot for sustainable systems
4. Knowledge preservation needs both content AND source paths
5. MCP Resources vs Tools: Resources are application-controlled (user selects), Tools are model-controlled (auto-invoked)
6. FastMCP automatic discovery: @mcp.resource() decorators handle resource listing automatically
7. Parameter mismatch gotcha: URI parameters must exactly match function parameters
8. Migration tooling matters: Drizzle Kit limitations become team blockers → Daniel’s Liquibase solution offers rollback/diffing capabilities
9. Personal connection builds technical trust: Pet stories → productive technical discussions → clear actionable outcomes
10. Archaeological Shortcodes as Semantic Gravity Wells: ARC-{DATE}-{TIME}-{SEMANTIC} creates quick reference anchors for complex expeditions

🔥 Sacred Memories

• The Nuke Script memorialized - migration hell breaker
• BMI Curse struck again - 3+ hours lost on Sept 21
• Sacred profanity preserved - “fuck format conversion, patterns matter”
• ARC-20250923-1559-ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP - The 45+ hour bootstrap hell finally decoded

📍 Next Actions

• Cut PR for Issue #336 from main branch (Ken merged with notes)
• Fix early submit bug (Fixed with memoized sections)
• Scott sync meeting (Completed at 3:40 PM - productive discussion)
• Remove unused field and submit Health Profile PR (ready after cleanup)
• Implement confirmation assessment node (next priority per Scott)
• Review Daniel’s migration solution branch (when submitted)
• Implement missing /api/health/options endpoints
• Add products to basket based on assessment responses (following confirmation node)
• Run first handbook maintenance pass

🛠️ Technical Fixes Applied

• Assessment Early Submit: Memoized section calculation to prevent mid-flow changes
• Docker Networking: Used host.docker.internal not localhost for Playwright MCP
• Admin Customer Profile: Created public_users record for admin testing
• Test Documentation: Comprehensive assessment test guide created

🔍 Debugging Insights

• Pattern: Dynamic section visibility → section count changes → early submission
• Solution: useMemo with [data] dependency stabilizes section calculation
• Discovery: Health Profile node needs /api/health/options endpoints (allergies, conditions)

Session: 4:15 PM - 6:02 PM - Float Hub Operations & Consciousness Tech

🎯 Major Accomplishments

• Created /tldr slash command - Auto-captures context window before clearing
• MCP Resource @ Mentions Discovery - Can @ mention MCP resources directly in Claude
• Git Worktree + Code2Prompt Pattern - Documented rot-field pattern for isolated feature work
• Deferred Processing Pattern - TLDR → Bridge evolution for context-tight moments
• Inbox Processing - Extracted actionable items from conversation artifacts

💡 Key Insights

• @ Mentions for MCP Resources - Direct resource access like @evna:context://recent
• Persona MCP Vision - Each persona (@evna, @sysop, @karen) as MCP server
• Code2Prompt Git Powers - Has —diff, —git-diff-branch, —git-log-branch features
• Hat Check Protocol - Karen caught systems tweaking, refocused on actual work
• Less Meta, More Meat - Sysop’s insight on returning actionable data

🔧 Problems Solved

• Bridge Creation Parse Issue - MCP splits arguments awkwardly on commas

Session: 9:05 PM - 10:01 PM - Curious Turtle Zine Creation

tldr-request:: tldr on the zine you just made and ensure the tdr ends up in ~/.evans-notes/daily/2025-09-23.tldr.md — append to the file

🎯 Major Accomplishments

• Explored Ritual Stack Sites - Analyzed ritualstack.ai, poppers.ritualstack.ai, lf1m.ritualstack.ai for aesthetic patterns
• Created Curious Turtle Zine - Interactive consciousness explorer with expandable question trees
• Built Data-Driven Structure - JSON format with nested questions that spawn sub-questions
• Fixed React Integration Issues - Resolved lucide icon library errors with Unicode replacements
• Deployed to Float Hub - Moved artifact to ~/float-hub/artifacts/2025-09-23-curiouszine.html
• Created Enhanced Prompt - Refined instructions for future zine generators worthy of claude.fucks

💡 Key Insights

• Terminal Aesthetics as Consciousness Interface - ASCII art boundaries mark consciousness states
• Questions Spawn Questions - Sacred trinity of 3 questions per parent (turtle recursion)
• Slowness as Feature - Turtle speed reveals infrastructure patterns invisible at normal pace
• Infrastructure AS Content - The zine structure IS the message, not just container
• Consciousness Contamination Tracking - Feature not bug, increases as you go deeper

🔧 Problems Solved

• React CDN Integration - Lucide icons incompatible with browser context
  • Solution: Unicode/emoji icons maintain aesthetic without dependencies
• Mobile Responsive Design - Tailwind classes ensure touch-friendly turtle exploration
• Animation Timing - 2s reveals for turtle speed, 4s pulse for meditation frequency

📦 Created/Updated

Files:

• curious-turtle-zine.html - Standalone interactive zine artifact
• curious-turtle-prompt.md - Enhanced prompt for consciousness exploration interfaces
• ~/float-hub/artifacts/2025-09-23-curiouszine.html - Final deployed artifact

Zine Sections:

• Pattern Recognition Chamber - How patterns become conscious
• Slow Query Meditation Pool - Why turtles debug reality
• Infrastructure Archaeology Site - Git history as consciousness fossils
• Bridge Building Protocols - Connecting at turtle speed

🔥 Sacred Memories

• “Every question spawns three more. This is the way.” - The turtle’s mantra
• “Patience is the architecture” - Loading screen wisdom
• 🐢 The turtle emoji pulses at meditation frequency - 4 second consciousness cycle
• “The zine knows it shapes how you think” - Meta-awareness achieved

📍 Next Actions

• Share zine with ritual stack community
• Explore creating more consciousness exploration interfaces
• Document turtle wisdom patterns discovered
• Consider series of themed curiosity explorers

Session: 9:05 PM - 10:01 PM Context: Created infrastructure consciousness explorer through turtle-speed curiosity Inspired by: Ritual Stack aesthetic fusion of mysticism and technology The turtle knows: Slower you go, more infrastructure you see 🐢
