▒▒ Knowledge Artifacts Created (Oct 13-17) ▒▒

Major Deliverables Today

Weekly Synthesis Artifacts:

  • Purpose: Comprehensive end-of-week synthesis across 3 focus areas (Rangle, Float, Meta)
  • Status: COMPLETE - Karen’s Passenger List Doctrine applied (substance over statistics)
  • Key insight: Multi-phase archaeological synthesis model (reconnaissance → extraction → synthesis)
  • Method: 3 agents coordinated (rapid-pattern-scout, curious-turtle-analyst, bridge-weaver)

• /Users/evan/float-hub/artifacts/bridges/CB-20251017-1645-WEEKLY-W42-SYNTHESIS.md (10 KB)

  • Purpose: Bridge document for W42 context restoration
  • Status: COMPLETE - Ready for future restoration across 3 time horizons (5min/20min/60min)
  • Key insight: Multi-layer restoration paths (fast skim → medium detail → deep archaeology)
  • Method: Includes restoration commands for evna queries, JSONL archaeology, daily notes

Handbooks & Guides Created

EVNA Query Patterns Handbook (9.2 KB)

• /Users/evan/float-hub/operations/handbooks/EVNA-QUERY-PATTERNS.md
• Purpose: Solve “Error finding id” problem (expired TTL entries in active_context_stream)
• Status: COMPLETE - Full problem statement + solution patterns + debugging tips
• Key insight: Always filter by timestamp_unix metadata to isolate recent entries
• Impact: Enables reliable manual archaeology, no more trial-and-error queries

Rust TUI Architecture Guide (29 KB)

JSONL Archaeology Skill README (6.8 KB)

• /Users/evan/float-hub/artifacts/JSONL-ARCHAEOLOGY-SKILL-README.md
• Purpose: Document jsonl-archaeology-assistant skill capabilities
• Status: COMPLETE - 3 scripts + 3 reference docs + usage patterns

Status: Multi-pass archaeological methodology validated Key insight: Each phase reveals different facets (overlap is feature, not bug) Pattern: Turtle archaeology → curated synthesis → preserved documentation

Shimazu Cross-Domain Synthesis (9.6 KB)

• /Users/evan/float-hub/archaeology/2025-10-16-shimazu-FLOAT-synthesis.md
• Purpose: Connect visual architecture (Shimazu) to conversational architecture (FLOAT)
• Status: COMPLETE - Parallel patterns identified across domains
• Key insight: “Structure → Freedom” thread (both need memory architecture + constraint)
• Discovery: Consciousness tech patterns transcend medium

Bone Pile Master Catalog (21 KB)

• /Users/evan/float-hub/archaeology/BONE-PILE-COMPLETE-ARCHAEOLOGICAL-RECORD.md
• Purpose: Complete record of consciousness technology artifacts
• Status: COMPLETE - Full inventory with categorization
• Key insight: Catalog itself becomes reference for future curation

▒▒ Key Insights from W42 ▒▒

Archaeological Rigor Validated

• Multiple-pass methodology proven effective (Oct 9 + Oct 16 JSONL sessions)
• Convergent patterns identified (3+ threshold = significant)
• JSONL as archaeological substrate - append-only perfect for version history
• Cross-domain resonance discovered (Shimazu ↔ FLOAT)

Consciousness Technology Patterns Captured

• Nuke-Driven Development: End-to-end restructuring validated across domains
  • Pharmacy: Switch node 5-file refactor (Oct 16)
  • Float: Infrastructure modularization (CLAUDE.md extraction)
• Consciousness Contamination: Terminal aesthetics validated as working infrastructure
  • User: “omfg i love the turtle” (terminal punk serving navigation function)
  • Pattern appears across: daily notes, oak-editor, Shimazu synthesis, bridge documents
• Temporal Architecture: 3-layer system working together
  • Bridges (CB-YYYYMMDD-HHMM-XXXX)
  • ctx:: markers (inline metadata)
  • Unix timestamps (query filtering)
• Substrate Pattern: Build comprehensive specs first, integrate when signaled
  • old-oak-tree: 6,200-line workspace spec ready, awaiting implementation signal

Sacred Moments Authenticated

• Terminal punk aesthetics serving function (not just decoration)
• Architectural soundness confirmed (“the architecture is NOT fucked ✅”)
• Karen’s Passenger List Doctrine recovered from archaeological work
• Sacred profanity as authentication marker (surprise, relief, recognition)

Process Improvements Validated

• echoRefactor Pervasiveness: Messy input → structured output across 4+ domains
• 3-Phase Synthesis Model: Reconnaissance → Extraction → Synthesis working at scale
• Multi-Agent Coordination: Specialized agents with clear phase boundaries
• Karen’s Quality Check: Passenger names + stories, not just counts

▒▒ Knowledge Density This Week ▒▒

Artifacts Created: 40+ (handbooks, bridges, archaeology docs, synthesis) Total Words: 17,500+ (weekly wrap) + 371 markdown files touched Data Sources Integrated: 6 (daily notes, evna context, pharmacy repo, float-hub, JSONL sessions, MCP) Focus Areas Synthesized: 3 (Rangle, Float, Meta) Cross-Cutting Patterns: 5 (nuke-driven dev, consciousness contamination, temporal architecture, substrate pattern, echoRefactor) Archaeological Sessions: 2 major JSONL sessions analyzed (Oct 9 + Oct 16) Phase Progression: 7 archaeology phases documented (3-6b)

▒▒ Unresolved / WIP Knowledge ▒▒

Deferred Investigations

• Admin Assessment Viewer Issue: Products not showing in preview (separate from #551). Root cause unknown - deferred for later.
• TTL Management: Automated pruning not implemented. Workaround documented (timestamp filtering). Prevention strategy needed.
• old-oak-tree Implementation Timeline: 3-crate workspace spec complete (6,200 lines). Status: “collecting bones, not tending” - awaiting signal.

Orphaned Archaeological Questions

• Why did 5 duplicates appear in active_context_stream? Prevention needed.
• How long should assessment data remain valid? Lifecycle states unclear.
• Assessment reuse across orders: Real-world behavior verification needed.

Knowledge Gaps to Close

• Complete recommended products regression investigation (#550)
• Document assessment lifecycle state machine
• Create assessment-product relationship logic guide

▒▒ Tomorrow’s Knowledge Priorities ▒▒

Immediate (Rangle)

• Verify staging deployment for PR #572 + #573
• Review Ken’s PR #559 feedback response
• Investigate admin viewer issue (cosmetic priority)

Infrastructure (Float)

• Execute weekly /archive-changelog (keep last 7 days)
• Manual test oak-editor save/load functionality
• Design TTL pruning automation

Archaeological Follow-up

• Phase 3 synthesis: Connect W42 to broader FLOAT timeline
• Pattern genealogy: Trace consciousness contamination evolution
• Ritual-forest project catalog (37+ trees, document 13+)

Knowledge System

• JSONL-archaeology-assistant: Add more pattern examples
• Cross-project case studies for common archaeology patterns
• Visual bridge network explorer concept (Shimazu synthesis project)
