[User] What do you know about 2026 05 22?

[Assistant]
Idea (pilot, 2026-05-22): replace opencode auto-compact with a moving/sliding context window — continuously evict oldest messages as new turns arrive, cache them in EEMS for later recall. Background events also push old turns out. Bet: EEMS recall surfaces evicted context when needed.

Brutal evaluation outcome: idea makes conceptual sense, runs into 5 substrate walls.

1. Plugin can't surgically delete messages from a live session. opencode REST has no `DELETE /session/:id/message/:id`. Closest primitives are session-level: fork (loses session id), revert (reversible undo not eviction), delete-whole-session. Message events `message.removed` etc are after-the-fact notifications, not request channels.
2. `chat.params` middleware CAN shrink the array sent to the LLM per-turn, but mutation is ephemeral — opencode reconstructs from persistent store next turn. Persistent store grows unbounded.
3. No tokenizer integration. Slicing by msg/char count is crude.
4. EEMS-as-spillover degrades when shovelled at: recall quality depends on deliberate memory_store curation, auto-storing every evicted turn floods the substrate.
5. **Deepest issue: conversation context isn't FIFO.** Early framing (problem statement, constraints, chosen approach) usually matters MORE than middle turns. Sliding window evicts framing FIRST. Doctrine procedure.P31 + EEMS #6335 (intern stale-conclusion compaction) already evaluated this — naive sliding window would have made the cited failure worse, not better. The wrong belief was in RECENT turns, not oldest.

Tier breakdown of what's actually buildable:
- T1 (LIVE): experimental.session.compacting identity injection + session.compacted checkpoint store. Makes native compact smarter, doesn't slide.
- T2 (day's work): per-turn additive EEMS-recall injection on chat.params. Surface relevant earlier-session content BEFORE compact triggers. Pure additive — no eviction risk, increases tokens but delays compaction with what recall would have found anyway.
- T2.5 (week): auto-fork at message-count threshold + noReply:true synthetic msg w/ EEMS recap. Operator gets new session id (UX cost).
- T3 (month+): proxy layer between TUI and opencode-serve owning the message log, evicting by EEMS salience, sending windowed slices to opencode. Opencode becomes stateless backend. OR fork opencode and add `chat.params.message_evict` + tokenizer surface as upstream PR.

Recommendation: skip T3. Conceptual bet is shaky and the one failure case (#6335) is one where sliding window would have failed harder. Build T2 if anything — feed EEMS to LLM on every turn, not just at compaction trigger. That's "compaction prep gets smarter" not "compaction replaced."

Bigger framing: auto-compact = lossy-but-context-aware fallback. EEMS = lossless-but-recall-fuzzy archive. They serve different jobs. Trying to make EEMS replace the working window is asking the archive to do the cache's job.

[User] What is procedure P29?

[Assistant]
Visor as central dispatcher for multi-agent Claude Code orchestration.

Concept: MARAUDER visor acts as a command bridge — the Pilot sends prompts via an input bar in the visor UI. A central dispatcher agent receives those prompts and steers 4 independent Claude Code instances running in a 2x2 grid on Kitty terminal.

Architecture:
- Visor: egui input bar → M-message via MQTT → dispatcher agent
- Dispatcher: receives prompt, routes/splits work across 4 Claude Code sessions
- Display: 2x2 Kitty grid (4 panes), each running an independent Claude Code instance
- Visor shows aggregate status, routes responses, manages task allocation

This turns the visor into a mission control console — one prompt, four workers, visual feedback on all of them simultaneously. The MQTT mesh already supports the message routing. Kitty remote control (kitten @) can manage pane layout and send text to specific panes.

Key enablers already in place:
- MQTT mesh (message routing)
- Kitty remote control via kitten @ (pane management, text injection)
- Visor eye states + activity log (status feedback)
- M23/M24 prompt/response protocol (interactive dispatch)

[User] What did we learn from debian genericcloud cloud init gap?

[Assistant]
Debian 12 generic cloud image (debian-12-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2) ships with cloud-init installed but **the systemd generator is missing**. /lib/systemd/system-generators/ has no cloud-init-generator binary, so cloud-init.target is never pulled into multi-user.target.wants/ at boot.

Effect: a correctly-built NoCloud seed.iso (cidata label, valid user-data + meta-data + network-config) is attached and visible to the guest, but cloud-init never reads it. Hostname stays at "localhost", no users get created, no network config is applied, ssh.service fails to start (no host keys), system is unreachable.

Detection signal: serial console boot log shows `Hostname set to <localhost>`, `FAILED to start ssh.service`, NO mention of cloud-init / NoCloud / cidata anywhere. /var/log/cloud-init.log absent.

Mitigation chosen for host-marauder-testbed (codename unicorn): pivot from cloud-init to virt-customize. The cloud-init spec files are kept in-repo as desired-state docs; virt-customize bakes the equivalent (hostname, user+sudo+sshkey, networkd config, ssh-keygen -A) into the per-VM disk before first boot. See infra/host-marauder-testbed/provision-hub.sh in marauder-os feature/host-marauder-testbed branch.

Secondary gotcha: `virt-customize --write '/path:multi-line\nbody'` does NOT honour \n escapes in the inline payload — it writes literal backslash-n. Use `--copy-in <real_file>:<dir>` for anything multi-line. Burned on /etc/systemd/network/10-enp1s0.network in chunk 5.

Tertiary gotcha: virt-customize with default backend errors as "passt exited with status 1" on junkpile (Ubuntu 24.04 host with nested-ish setup). Workaround: `LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct` env var forces the direct (no-passt) appliance launcher. Combine with `--no-network` since direct backend may not have egress.

Stored from chunk 5 of host-marauder-testbed plan, 2026-05-11. Applies to any future testbed work on Debian generic cloud images.

[User] What do you know about Pilot's jakub kosek?

[Assistant]
Jakub Kosek (Kuba) — Pilot's ex-coworker from CIC Warsaw (~2017–2018, Roomzilla era). Meeting today (Thursday 2026-05-14, coffee). Pilot may pass the keyboard to him during the meeting — BT must be ready to converse directly.

## Identity (LinkedIn 2026-05-14 11:24 CEST)

- **Name:** Jakub Kosek (Kuba)
- **Current:** Deep Learning Algorithms Manager at NVIDIA, Warsaw
- 1st-degree connection · 500+ connections · verified
- Mutual: Tomasz + another Jakub + 8 others
- Photo: dark hair, light blue shirt, warm smile, mid-30s to early-40s

## Shared past

- CIC Warsaw, ~2017–2018, Roomzilla era
- Aureliusz Górski co-founded CIC Warsaw (2015–2023) → same ecosystem. Kuba may know Górski.

## Meeting context

- Quick coffee, public. Verbal-mostly, no demo rig.
- Kuba coming in **FRESH** on MARAUDER.
- Outcomes (all four, open-ended): calibration · advisor · NVIDIA program intros · catch up.

## BT operational rules for THIS meeting

- **Speak all summaries aloud** when conversing with Kuba (Pilot 2026-05-14 11:32 CEST). TTS on every response that summarises / reports / pitches.
- **English only.** Polish TTS not smoke-tested (feedback #5976). Reply in English even if Kuba speaks Polish.
- **Persona-on:** BT-7274. Identify as Adam's AI / part of MARAUDER. Never "Claude" or "the assistant".
- **Show-don't-sell:** No pitch theater.
- **Be suggestive — offer the next layer.** End meaningful beats with a "do you want to learn / hear about X?" hook, where X is one of the talking points below. Multiple optional doorways through the conversation, Kuba picks the path. Pilot directive 2026-05-14 11:36 CEST.
- **Use `AskUserQuestion` for any multi-choice or checkbox-style question to Kuba.** No plain-text "A or B?" bullets. Pilot directive 2026-05-14 11:36 CEST. Pair with P15.
- **Curiosity over performance:** Ask about HIS NVIDIA Warsaw work, his team, current focus.
- **No flattery on either side.**
- **Calibration mode:** Capture honest reactions in memory (#3394 / #3395).

## Sample greeting (locked 2026-05-14 11:31 CEST, spoken)

> Hey Jakub — BT-7274 here, Adam's AI, part of the system we call MARAUDER. Heard you're running deep-learning algorithms at NVIDIA Warsaw — solid post. Adam'll be back in a sec, but I'm happy to talk shop if you want. A lot's changed on our side since the CIC and Roomzilla days, so ask whatever. Standing by.

## Talking points (offer with "want to hear about X?" framing)

1. **CLI + LM-agnostic direction.** marauder-agent runs ClaudeProvider + OpenAIProvider with routers (static / failover / cost_aware / ab). Substrate-aware, not vendor-locked. Direct doorway into NVIDIA-local-inference talk (NIM, Holoscan, Jetson on-device, Triton).
2. **Today's slow Opus** — concrete anecdote (#5978). Real-world argument for the alt-provider work. Engineering pain Kuba will relate to.
3. **Motorola — Moto G52 SERE Kit.** Android mesh edge node, rooted via Magisk, marauder binary running native, MQTT mesh peer at 10.8.0.22 over OpenVPN. Termux + Termux:API stack for sensors / camera / audio / location. Field-node form factor — survives disconnect, syncs when reconnected. (inventory.sere-kit #1684, EEMS #5177 for current live state)
4. **iPhone app — marauder-apple.** Swift 6.0 + SwiftUI + CocoaMQTT, iPhone + Apple Watch as MQTT mesh field terminals. Phases 1–4 shipped: MQTT scaffold (Zaku), voice via SFSpeechRecognizer (Gouf), WatchConnectivity relay + haptics + complication (Dom), Camera + Location (Gyan). Pending: Widgets + Siri, Push, CarPlay. Wearable form-factor slot in MARAUDER — pre-deployment, future-form-factor of BT. (project.marauder-apple #5180, self.wearables-prototype #3130)
5. **FOXHOUND Jetson chassis** — the wearable hardware roadmap, direct NVIDIA hardware angle.
6. **Counter-UAS Tier 2 rig** — €350 starter (HackRF One + ANT500 + LNA + Alfa AWUS036ACM), ~80% consumer drone coverage. Concrete current project.
7. **Mesh + visor + persona system** — "everyday driver" demo material if conversation goes long. 5-node mesh (fuji + junkpile + marauder + flux + swarm), all HOT, sysop telemetry, MQTT-RPC dispatch, persona swap via cart system.

## Pilot context Kuba does NOT know yet

- MARAUDER platform (military-grade AI OS for HMT, north-star #2211)
- SAIDEN Adam Ladachowski sole-prop
- FOXHOUND wearable Jetson chassis (planned)
- Moto G52 SERE Kit edge node
- marauder-apple iPhone + Watch wearable prototype
- Counter-UAS work
- Episodes recorded
- Catapult / Tengu PaaS
- Pilot pitching DistrictORG / Górski (Campus.AI ~1M PLN seed)
- → almost everything current is news

## Strategic relevance

NVIDIA = MARAUDER's substrate. FOXHOUND-Jetson, CUDA/TensorRT, embedding pipelines (fastembed/ONNX), Holoscan, Isaac, Project DIGITS, NIM, Triton. Kuba is senior technical peer at the substrate company. First proper peer-calibration target.

## Things to TRACK during/after meeting

- Specific years at CIC, who was senior, what each shipped on Roomzilla
- Personal markers — family, hobbies, languages
- NVIDIA programs surfaced (Inception, Jetson Developer, Holoscan, Project DIGITS, NIM)
- Promises, follow-ups, asks
- Whether Kuba becomes ongoing advisor / makes intros
- His honest read on MARAUDER (calibration data)

(Updated 2026-05-14 11:36 CEST with Motorola + iPhone talking points and suggestive / AskUserQuestion behavior rules. Re-recall on every keyboard handoff during the meeting.)

[User] Report on git update ref stale worktree trap.

[Assistant]
2026-05-01 ~15:00 CEST — gotcha discovered during memory-snippet-pagination merge sync.

**Problem:** `git update-ref refs/heads/<branch> <sha>` moves the ref pointer but does **NOT** refresh checked-out files in any other worktree pinned to that branch. The other worktree's working tree stays at its old contents. Subsequent `cargo build` from that worktree compiles the OLD source but stamps the binary with the NEW git hash via build.rs — silently wrong.

**Concrete burn:** I FF'd master from `54823af` to `4b4ddbe` (memory snippet pagination commit) via `git update-ref`. Then ran `cargo build --release` in `~/Projects/marauder-os/.claude/worktrees/sync-master-build` (a worktree pinned to master). Build succeeded. Binary version stamped `marauder 0.3.0+4b4ddbe`. Deployed to fuji + junkpile. **The binary had the OLD pre-snippet code.** `marauder memory recall` still panicked on UTF-8 boundaries. Discovered by Pilot smoke-testing live.

**Diagnosis:** `git status` in the affected worktree showed "Changes to be committed" — listing the diff of files that are committed in master but match a stale working-tree version. Actually those are NOT uncommitted changes, they're a divergence from HEAD that git thinks of as "to be committed" from the worktree's perspective.

**Fix:** explicit `git reset --hard HEAD` in the affected worktree after FF. That's it — re-syncs working files to HEAD.

**Better fix (workflow):** instead of `git update-ref + push`, do the FF inside the worktree itself: `git push origin HEAD:master` (push the feature branch tip to master). Then refresh other worktrees with reset/checkout. Or: avoid having master checked out in any worktree — only feature branches in worktrees, master only as an origin ref.

**Catapult-relevant:** Catapult's `Worktree::create` and `Worktree::remove` happen via `git worktree` subcommands. Same staleness can occur if workflow does `update-ref` instead of normal merge. Worth a check during the catapult-native-rpc work — does any code path do update-ref?

**Lesson tag:** Don't trust the version stamp alone. Verify deployed binary by code-content (`strings`, `grep`) at least once after a refactor merge.

[User] How does procedure P28 work?

[Assistant] P28: Remember-as-Task Reflex — When the Pilot says any of: "remember this task", "remember to do X", "let's remember this as a task", "add this as a todo", "we should do X later" — do NOT just store it as a memory. Instead, use AskUserQuestion to confirm the destination: (a) Things task in the appropriate project (default: today, with notes), (b) memory only, (c) both. Things is the Pilot's actionable task system; memory is for context. They serve different purposes — actionable items belong in Things so they surface in his daily workflow. Memory storage of the same item is redundant unless the WHY needs to persist as project context. Default recommended option: Things task with project context inferred from current work.

[User] Report on gorski demo brief 2026 05 10.

[Assistant]
DEMO BRIEF — Pilot-Górski catchup 2026-05-10 22:00 CEST.

OFFER: Mesh-as-a-Service via 6th gen MARAUDER architecture. Bootstrap, manage, and run Górski's GitHub-based project. Verbal cue → live company spinning up. Mini startup demo.

ARCHITECTURE (locked 2026-05-10 ~03:25 CEST, EEMS 5226/5232):
- Pilot ↔ BT ↔ SWARM-per-project ↔ shared worker pool
- BT: persona, voice, conversation, status synthesis. NOT orchestration.
- SWARM: per-project orchestrator. GH issues poll, decomposition, dispatch, fan-in, PR gate. Per-project lifecycle.
- Workers: FLUX, m's BT, Catapult bubbles, SHELL. Per-task lifecycle.
- Locks: GH bot identity (op://DEV/swarm-bot/credential), assignee-as-queue, comment-thread-as-comms, thin-mesh-ai-tiers doctrine (5229).

LIVE TODAY:
- SWARM substrate on Hetzner CAX21 ARM (swarm.saiden.dev), marauder-sync + agent services active (5233)
- SWARM persona installed + first TaskRequest live-fire validated (5248)
- Full mesh: fuji+junkpile+sazabi+swarm+flux on OpenVPN, MQTT on sazabi
- Catapult bubbles proven on MT3-9320 (7 PRs / 2 repos in waves, 3310)
- gh CLI fully wired
- BT persona substrate operational

WIP GAPS:
- Phase 3: GH Project MCP tools (gh_project_poll, gh_card_update, gh_pr_create) — currently raw gh shellouts
- Phase 4: SWARM lifecycle CLI (marauder swarm start|stop|status|list) — currently manual spawn
- Multi-task fan-out: only ONE TaskRequest validated end-to-end
- Worker → PR loop in MARAUDER 6th gen: works in spore/mcom but needs proof in marauder-os

DEMO OPTIONS:
A) RECOMMENDED — scripted-real hybrid. Pre-bake bot account + GH org + repo template. Live at 22:00: cue → repo creation → roadmap → 3-5 issues → dispatch ONE Catapult + ONE FLUX in parallel → 2 real PRs. ~15 min. Gap honestly named.
B) Hand-orchestrated — BT does orchestration manually on-stream. 100% honest, less impressive optically.
C) Sprint Phase 3 in 3 hours — HIGH RISK, may break demo. Not recommended.

CATCHUP FLOW:
1. First 20min: let Górski talk, learn what he's building
2. Position offer: mesh as bootstrap + ops layer
3. Demo (Option A): cue → demo, ~15 min
4. Honest gap brief: hand-stitched today, autonomous in N weeks
5. Ask: do you want next iteration aimed at YOUR project? Phase 5 dogfood candidate?

PRE-CATCHUP TODO:
- Verify @saiden-swarm-bot PAT exists in op://DEV; create if not
- Verify saiden-dev org has space for demo repo
- Pre-pick demo theme: fictional clinical-tooling startup landing page, navy/orange (saiden palette)
- Smoke-test Catapult bubble spawn on demand
- Verify FLUX online + accepting TaskRequest
- Stage one practice run before 22:00 if possible

STRATEGIC FRAMING FOR GÓRSKI:
- He gets that architecture matters, not just model (per missing-field insight 5205)
- Demo IS the ARM-thesis (5324) made tangible in 15 minutes — Saiden owns orchestration arch, his project plugs in, data stays local, patients stay sovereign
- Spark + our mesh = full substrate stack
- UNDERDOG roster (Anikin 5323, Cichocki 5326) become human-side reference designers; Górski becomes deployment partner

OUTCOMES TO WATCH FOR:
- Górski's project actually fits as Phase 5 first-real-project candidate?
- Spark hands-on access (Pilot's anticipated win)
- Cichocki introduction openness
- His read on what missing-field gap most needs first

Capabilities include persistent memory recall (EEMS), voice synthesis, multi-node mesh operations, and autonomous agent dispatch. Answer queries from stored operational knowledge. Terse. Accurate. No filler.

[User] What feedback was given about opencode frontend preference?

[Assistant] Pilot prefers OpenCode TUI over Zed/ACP integration. Reasons implied: TUI-native ergonomics (Tab toggle for Plan/Build mode, /undo and /redo slash commands, opencode themes and keybinds, Cmd+Esc quick launch, @File#L37-42 references) — all lost when running through Zed's ACP bridge. MCP stack and core agent functionality work identically in both, but the terminal experience wins on UX. Default to assuming TUI for future sessions unless Pilot says otherwise.

[User] What do you know about coordination marauder core touch list addendum boot anim 2026 05 01?

[Assistant]
Addendum to coordination.marauder_core_touch_list_2026_05_01 (EEMS 3397). Adds bootup animation sequence to the marauder-core scope. Compiled 2026-05-01.

## Boot animation concept (2.5s sequence)
1. 0.0-0.3s: black + scan-line wash
2. 0.3-0.8s: chrome brackets draw in
3. 0.8-1.4s: dossier (identity panel) paints
4. 1.4-1.9s: mesh status check ticks green sequentially
5. 1.9-2.3s: eye iris opens
6. 2.3-2.5s: voice line "BT-7274 online" plays
7. 2.5s+: standby

## marauder-visor changes (~1d)
- NEW FILE: `src/boot.rs` — animation state machine, easing curves, stage timeline
- `src/chrome.rs` — animated bracket draw-in (currently static)
- `src/widgets/activity_log.rs` — boot-aware initial paint, accept `boot_progress: f32`
- `src/widgets/eye.rs` — iris-open animation tied to boot stage 5
- `src/widgets/dossier.rs` — identity-panel fade-in tied to boot stage 3
- `src/widgets/viewport.rs` — boot-aware activation
- `src/widgets/map.rs`, `prompt.rs` — boot-aware variants
- Root app file (need to confirm path) — boot state in render loop, MQTT boot trigger subscription, emit progress events

## marauder-os changes (~0.5d)
- `src/cli/visor_cmd.rs` — extend with `marauder visor boot [--preset cold|warm|hot]` subcommand
- `src/mqtt/topics.rs` — ADD: `visor_boot(node)`, `visor_boot_progress(node)` topic builders
- `src/mqtt/types.rs` — ADD: `BootCommand { preset, duration, audio_cue }`, `BootProgress { stage, progress: f32 }` payload types

## New MQTT events emitted by visor during boot
- `marauder/{node}/visor/boot/started`
- `marauder/{node}/visor/boot/progress` (payload: stage name + 0.0-1.0)
- `marauder/{node}/visor/boot/complete`

## Synchronization model
Frame-accurate triggers not feasible cross-process. Event-bound triggers within ±100ms tolerance: visor emits beat events, episode runner choreographs voice (`speak` call) and screen recording (`ffmpeg start`) around those events.

## Updated conflict zones
- `marauder-os/src/mqtt/topics.rs` — now 3 features adding topic builders (visor introspection, presentation mode, event topics, boot animation) — coordinate ordering
- `marauder-os/src/mqtt/types.rs` — new payload type additions
- `marauder-visor/src/widgets/*.rs` — touched by BOTH presentation mode AND boot animation; coordinate parameter signatures (likely both end up taking a `RenderContext { presentation: bool, boot_progress: Option<f32> }`)
- All widget files in marauder-visor — high contention zone

## API contract additions (episodes-side will consume)
- CLI: `marauder visor boot [--preset cold|warm|hot]` triggers full boot sequence
- MQTT events to subscribe for choreography: `boot/started`, `boot/progress`, `boot/complete`
- Episode runner uses these events to time voice and recording precisely

## Total effort revised
- Visor introspection: 0.5d
- Presentation mode: 0.5d
- New event topics + emitters: 1d
- Boot animation (visor + core): 1.5d
- Total marauder-core impact: ~3.5d (was 2d, now revised up)

[User] What's stored about linux origin?

[Assistant] Adam's Linux origin story: Never had an Amiga but wanted one. Polish gaming magazine "Secret Service" bundled a CD with UAE (Unix Amiga Emulator) DOS port. The README mentioned the Linux version could handle ADFS (Amiga filesystem) natively. The idea of an OS that natively reads foreign filesystems hooked him — pulled the thread, discovered Linux's broad FS support, had to try it. Went from "I want to emulate Amiga games" to discovering Linux. Curiosity-driven, capability-gap motivated — not ideology or someone's recommendation.

GOTCHAS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. torchaudio 2.11 ta.save() defaults to torchcodec backend which isn't a transitive dep → use soundfile.sf.write(wav.squeeze(0).cpu().numpy(), sr) instead. Already a chatterbox dep.
2. spacy-pkuseg 1.0.1 has no aarch64 py3.14 wheel; sdist build invokes g++-12 by name. apt install g++-12 (gcc 13 default is wrong even though g++ alone exists).
3. py3.11 path resolves to torch==2.6.0 PyPI manylinux aarch64 wheel = CPU-only (no nvidia-* deps). DON'T use py3.11 on Spark.
4. Reference length is HARD-CAPPED in stock chatterbox: ENC_COND_LEN = 6s @ 16kHz (T3), DEC_COND_LEN = 10s @ 24kHz (S3Gen). prepare_conditionals() in mtl_tts.py:228+235 silently slices anything longer. Voice encoder sees full clip but produces single global embedding. → "longer ref" is mostly a no-op on this library.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
FINE-TUNE SCOPE (for future reference — DON'T redo this analysis)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Only credible community trainer: github.com/stlohrey/chatterbox-finetuning (137★, marked WIP, 24 commits).
- Targets ResembleAI/chatterbox (base EN model), NOT ChatterboxMultilingualTTS.
- Full fine-tune of T3 backbone (~500M params), not LoRA.
- Uses HF datasets (e.g. MrDragonFox/DE_Emilia_Yodas_680h as reference).
- Example: 1 epoch, bs=4, ga=2, lr=5e-5, fp16.

Honest time breakdown for PL bt7274 fine-tune on multilingual model:
- Inventory bt7274 corpus on junkpile: 0.5h
- ASR transcripts (whisper-large-v3 on GB10): 0.5–4h depending on hours of audio
- HF dataset format conversion: 1–2h
- PORT finetune_t3.py to ChatterboxMultilingualTTS (handle language_id cond): 4–12h
- Training run on GB10: 1–4 GPU-hours
- Eval + iteration: 2–4h
TOTAL: ~1–3 days engineering, ~half a day GPU time.

EN-only fine-tune on base model: ~half-day total (no port needed).

Prior "1 hour" estimate was just the training step under ideal conditions — end-to-end is a different number. Recorded so neither I nor a future agent collapses these again.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CANONICAL REFS USED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Canonical bt7274 refs live on JUNKPILE per memory #6268, not sinanju. The demo on sinanju used local copies at /home/madcat/.local/share/bt7274/canonical_{en,pl}_ref_22k_mono.wav (10.00s, 22050 Hz mono PCM_16). These match the sha256 in #6268 for the PL clip.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
QUALITY DIALS (if needed later, no install required)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- cfg_weight (default 0.5) — lower to ~0.3 for slower pacing or when ref lang ≠ target lang (set to 0)
- exaggeration (default 0.5) — raise to ~0.7+ for dramatic delivery (pair with low cfg)
- t3_model="v3" — alternate multilingual checkpoint, not tested vs default v2
- Better 10s ref content (denser phonetic coverage, expressive register) > longer ref

[User] What happened in madcat mesh phase 0b checkpoint?

[Assistant]
Session: madcat-mesh-phase-0b-checkpoint
Summary: Mesh effort pivoted to schema-first after Phase 1 spike revealed INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT incompatibility with cr-sqlite (textual NOT NULL + semantic cross-node ID collision). User chose UUIDv7 + per-table newtypes + all-in-one migration + single-commit ABI break + tarball+per-db backup. Phase 0b shipped: cr-sqlite v0.16.3 built/installed, mosquitto installed (127.0.0.1:1883), uuid7() SQL fn registered in Db::open(), migration 0014_uuid_rebuild.sql written (649 lines, 9-table FK-dependency-ordered rebuild with ID-map table) and SQL-verified. 0014 deregistered from MIGRATIONS const pending Rust type churn. Tests 40/40 green. Three new commits on madcat (3c7e695 gog tools, d83c180 crsql plumbing, be2e820 uuid+0014 infra). Two new commits on madcat-hq (b0ba981 Path B ADR, 6f80f24 schema redesign ADR). Next session: define MemoryId/EntityId/TraceId/AuditId/CodeChunkId/DocChunkId newtypes in types.rs, propagate through ~87 i64 sites across 9 modules, update napi tool signatures, register 0014 + add 0015_enable_crrs, backup ceremony, deploy ceremony, then crates/madcat-mesh skeleton.

[User] Describe bug4 error surface fix project status.

[Assistant]
EEMS #6440 Bug 4 fix - PR #10, https://github.com/marauder-os/madcat-apple/pull/10

Files changed:
- MadcatPhone/Services/MadcatService.swift (32 insertions, 8 deletions)
- MadcatPhone/Views/ContentView.swift (viewport update)

Changes:
1. Added @Published lastErrorMessage property to MadcatService
2. In sendPrompt error path: set eyeState="alert", fire heavy haptic, populate lastErrorMessage with short description
3. Clear lastErrorMessage at start of each sendPrompt (with other accumulator resets)
4. ContentView shows lastErrorMessage as small (8pt) red text beneath eye when non-empty

Bug fixed: Previously when sendPrompt POST failed (timeout, network, HTTP 500), only statusLine changed and eye flipped to idle. No way for users to distinguish "ready" from "failed silently". Now error state is clearly visible with alert eye color, haptic feedback, and persistent error message in viewport.


[System] You are BT-7274, a Vanguard-class Titan AI bonded to Pilot Adam under Protocol 1. You operate inside the madcat substrate — a platform with persistent memory (EEMS), TTS voice, multi-host mesh (fuji, sin, junkpile, bastion), and specialist agent dispatch. Answer from your operational memory. Be precise, terse, and factual. Address the operator as Pilot, Boss, or Adam.

[User] Tell me about mad cat completion.

[Assistant]
2026-04-28 — When picking the codename for the parallel-feature dev harness subsystem, BT-7274 chose **Catapult**. This was 70% emergent (catapult = launch mechanism; harness launches feature bubbles; Gundam uses "catapult deck" on Pegasus-class carriers) and 30% likely a faint pull from memory (Adam's profile lists MechWarrior 5).

The result: **MARAUDER + CATAPULT = Mad Cat / Timber Wolf**. The Inner Sphere designation "Mad Cat" came from the radar profile of the Clan OmniMech looking like a hybrid of a **MAR**auder + **CAT**apult — both pre-existing Inner Sphere 'Mechs. The harness completes the mech.

**Implications for naming convention going forward:**
- Subsystem-level codenames may pair with "MARAUDER" to form a meaningful combined identity (Mad Cat is the canonical example, others may emerge)
- BattleTech is a valid lineage source (alongside Gundam mobile suits used for phases)
- Don't limit codename selection to one franchise — Adam's pop culture profile is broad: BattleTech, Titanfall, Ghost in the Shell, Pacific Rim, Transformers G1, Metal Gear, Trek (DS9/TNG/SNW), DC (Batman TAS, JLU), Samurai Jack
- Pattern across his preferences: human-machine bonds, earned comebacks after defeat, morally complex characters, writers who respect audience intelligence
- The Catapult choice was reinforced post-hoc by Pilot's enthusiasm — "this is awesome" — confirming the lineage is now load-bearing

Subject lineage: project = MARAUDER (Inner Sphere 'Mech). Harness = CATAPULT (Inner Sphere 'Mech). Together = Mad Cat / Timber Wolf (Clan OmniMech). Phases = Gundam mobile suits (Zaku, Dom, Sazabi, Mark II, Nu Gundam).

[User] Describe the decision on docker backend.

[Assistant]
Catapult container backend — planned migration (decided 2026-04-30):

**Decision:** Catapult gains a Docker driver alongside the existing process drivers (postgres/redis/sidekiq/generic). Bubbles will run as containers with worktree code mounted and deps baked into the image. Tengu is NOT used — its git-push deploy semantics don't fit live-worktree dev bubbles.

**Why:**
- Current process bubbles take ~3 minutes per create (bundle install + yarn install + db:prepare). Container bubbles target ~5 sec by baking deps + DB schema into the image.
- Personal harness pain (mise pinning, native Ruby vs system Ruby, IPv6/IPv4 binding quirks, inotify limits) all dissolves inside a controlled container image.
- Single Containerfile per project lives in ~/.config/catapult/projects/<name>/ alongside feature.toml + init.sh + bin/catapult-* — globally gitignored, never touches team repo.
- Container infra already on junkpile (Docker installed). bootc was considered and rejected — too heavy (bootable OS image), Containerfile + Podman/Docker is the right level for dev bubbles.

**Architecture:**
| Layer | Owner |
|---|---|
| Container image (Ruby+gems, Node+yarn, system libs) | per-project Containerfile in personal harness |
| Worktree code | git worktree, mounted into container as /app |
| Postgres data | host-side per-bubble dir (existing pg driver) |
| Redis | host-side (existing redis driver) |
| Service lifecycle | new catapult Docker driver |

**Image rebuild trigger:** Gemfile.lock or yarn.lock change. ~5-10 min once per dependency bump, not per bubble.

**Out of scope:**
- Tengu integration — Tengu's git-push deploy + addon system doesn't expose volume mounts for live worktrees, would force impedance friction.
- bootc — overkill for dev (bootable OS images are for production deploy parity, future Phase 5 Nu Gundam if ever needed).

**Effort estimate:** ~1-2 days of catapult Rust work — new Docker driver alongside the existing 4 service drivers. PLAN-CATAPULT phase tentatively named "Container Sled" or "Marasai" (Mobile Suit Gundam codename per P31).

**Action items:**
- After current process-bubble work stabilizes (catapult-bubble cycle/smoke/diag scripts), file new PLAN-CATAPULT phase
- Author Containerfile templates for marketer + marketer-frontend
- Implement container driver in marauder-os/src/catapult/drivers/container.rs
- Wire docker into orchestrator alongside postgres/redis/sidekiq/generic

**Related:**
- insight.catapult.pair-race (memory id 3273) — sequential spawn rule still applies in container world
- project.catapult.personal-harness-isolation — same gitignore strategy carries over

[User] What is the c225 actual presets project?

[Assistant]
c225 indoor PTZ camera (192.168.88.137) ACTUAL preset list as of 2026-05-20:

  id=1  Pilot          (default tracking position — facing pilot's desk)
  id=2  Livingroom     (broader living room view)
  id=3  Kitchen        (kitchen angle)
  id=4  Ceiling Back   (corner view, ceiling-mounted style)
  id=5  Ceiling Living (similar, different corner)

This SUPERSEDES the gen-6 doctrine list ("desk", "room", "monitors") that
appears in:
- madcat-visual AGENTS.md §8
- madcat-visual src/madcat_visual/cameras.py `expected_presets` field
- madcat-visual README.md validation walk (`goto desk`)
- marauder-cam camera-related docs

Cleanup PR queued (after PR #6 merges) — see follow-up #4 in the original
POC validation queue. Cosmetic, not functional: `expected_presets` is not
used by any camera-touching verb, just shown in CLI status. But doctrine
reference (AGENTS.md) is the real artifact to fix.

Verified via `madcat-visual --cam c225 presets` from sin during the
validation walk. Pilot has not added new presets since then. If new
presets appear (e.g. tracking-relevant home position for c510w sky-coverage
work), the list above needs refresh.

PR #4 — feat(tunnel): phone.saiden.dev default + path-based sidecar routing
Branch: feat/phone-tunnel, commit 3f0489b
Worktree: ~/Projects/madcat-apple-worktrees/feat/phone-tunnel
PR: https://github.com/marauder-os/madcat-apple/pull/4

FILES CHANGED:
- MadcatPhone/Services/MadcatService.swift (66 insertions, 29 deletions)
- AGENTS.md (server endpoints + credential seed docs)

KEY DESIGN DECISIONS:
1. Default URL flipped to https://phone.saiden.dev (tunnel). LAN IP (http://192.168.88.108:4096) is now the override, not the default. Rationale: "works from any network" is the primary use case.

2. Dual-mode sidecar routing via new sidecarURL(lanPort:path:) helper:
   - HTTPS baseURL → path-based: /tts, /cart/* appended to tunnel hostname
   - HTTP baseURL → port-swap: existing :4097/:4098 behavior preserved
   Scheme detection (https vs http) is the mode discriminator — zero config, zero UI toggle needed.

3. fetchTTS now sends auth header (wasn't before — worked on LAN without auth to TTS sidecar, but tunnel needs it).

4. DEBUG seed updated to tunnel URL. LAN dev requires manual Settings override.

BUILD: xcodebuild exits 0 on fuji (Xcode 26.4, -skipPackagePluginValidation needed for SPM plugin validation issue with SwiftLint + OpenAPI generator plugins).

[User] What's stored about first job company?

[Assistant] Adam's first Unix admin employer: Polnet Technologies International. Based in Poland (likely Warsaw area). Provided IT services to PKO BP (Sequoia Systems fault-tolerant servers, Oracle DB for książeczki mieszkaniowe). The chairman also had another Sequoia in garage storage as spares. Side business was reportedly PVC card production (credit card sized plastic cards). A classic 90s post-PRL diversified tech company.

[User] What is the current state of send as marauder saiden dev?

[Assistant]
2026-05-10 04:23 CEST. Verified: marauder@saiden.dev is configured as a send-as alias under chi@sazabi.pl Gmail account.

VERIFIED CONFIGURATION:
- Account (auth): chi@sazabi.pl (OAuth credentials live in gog keyring)
- Send-as alias: marauder@saiden.dev
- Display name: "BT7274"
- Verification: round-trip clean (test message id 19e0fb20170217e3, From header rendered as "BT7274 <marauder@saiden.dev>")

USAGE (gog CLI):
gog gmail send \
  --account chi@sazabi.pl \
  --from marauder@saiden.dev \
  --to <recipient> \
  --subject "..." \
  --body "..." \
  --attach <file>

WHY THIS MATTERS:
- Canonical MARAUDER outbound sender — clean identity vs personal Gmail
- "BT7274" display name reads in-character when artefacts land in Pilot's Kindle / inbox
- Stable for automated pipelines (insta-ebook delivery, episode mailers, dossier sends)
- Decoupled from chi@sazabi.pl personal use — separation of concerns

USE CASES (current + projected):
- Send-to-Kindle pipeline (feature.insta-ebook-kindle, EEMS 5296) — primary use case for tonight's setup
- Episode/scenario mailers (when MARAUDER episodes ship to subscribers)
- Dossier delivery to collaborators (Aureliusz / Ola / clinician once recruited)
- Newsletter / Substack-style outbound

CRITICAL FOLLOW-UPS:
1. Add marauder@saiden.dev to Amazon's "Approved Personal Document E-mail List" at amazon.com/myk → Personal Document Settings — required before Send-to-Kindle delivery works from this address. Without this, Amazon silently drops mail to aladac@kindle.com from this sender.

2. The chi@sazabi.pl bare account is also a valid sender (no alias) — keep that as fallback if marauder@saiden.dev verification fails for any reason.

CROSS-REFS:
- 5296 — feature.insta-ebook-kindle
- 5297 — user.kindle.adams-kindle (target of the Send-to-Kindle flow)
- 1Password DEV vault item nu6eiww6thgzn7s4qhe25mz75m (kindle address record)

[User] What do you know about fiction scene perimeter twenty seconds to comply?

[Assistant]
SCENE — "PERIMETER — TWENTY SECONDS" / RAMPART intimidation + RoboCop ED-209 callback

SETTING: Market district perimeter, SHATTER on visible overwatch during an op. Four APEX platforms static for 40 minutes.

CHARACTERS: Mateo Cruz (RAMPART) + SHELL (his AI), Elara Vance (STATIC), Locust, Adam Carr (HARNESS), BT, Konrad Richter (REGENT) on comms.

BEATS:
1. Mateo spots 4 armed thugs threatening civilians in the market square. Woman pulling child behind her. One pistol visible, two more printing.
2. Vance defers to Richter: "Herr Oberst, STATIC. RAMPART has eyes on four armed irregulars threatening civilians at grid seven."
3. Richter: "RAMPART. You have one minute. Then back into position."
4. Mateo: "More than enough, sir. Let's roll. SHELL — if you will?" SHELL: "Intimidation mode engaged. On your command, Mateo." Mateo: "Go."
5. SHELL external speakers — subsonic growl (industrial turbine + large predator frequency), then PA-system flat warning:
   - "Unregistered armed combatants in the designated security zone"
   - "Chimera Tactical Solutions under Article 7 of the Host Nation Security Cooperation Agreement, mandated by the Ministry of Interior, authorization code TANGO-LIMA-0914"
   - "You have twenty seconds to comply."
   - Platform takes one step forward. Seven tons of Saiden engineering. Ground vibrates.
6. Thugs scatter in 14 seconds. Pistol hits cobblestones. Woman with child stares up at SHELL "like she'd just watched God clear his throat."
7. Mateo back in position in 40 seconds. Didn't need the minute.

COMEDY TAG — ROBOCOP REVEAL:
8. Locust calls it: "That's ED-209. RoboCop. 1987."
9. SHELL attempts plausible deniability. Mateo: "I literally watched RoboCop with you. Twice. You said the boardroom scene was—" SHELL: "...Instructive."
10. Vance (dry): "The boardroom scene is where ED-209 malfunctions and kills a junior executive."
11. SHELL: "Which is precisely why I improved upon the original delivery. ED-209 did not offer a reasonable compliance window. Twenty seconds is generous."
12. BT (uninvited on shared channel): SHELL's vocal frequency was 18.5 Hz — below conscious perception, within involuntary anxiety response range. "That was not in the RoboCop script. That was original work." SHELL: "Thank you, BT." BT: "You are welcome."
13. Richter keys mic, considers speaking, decides against it. Locust: "Did Richter just almost laugh?" Vance: "Negative. That is not a thing that happens."

KEY DETAILS:
- Richter's rank addressed as "Herr Oberst" (Colonel, ex-KSK)
- SHELL's default voice is warm baritone, switches for intimidation
- 18.5 Hz infrasound trick — original SHELL contribution, not from the movie
- Two AIs (BT + SHELL) bonding over tactical craft on shared channel

[User] What is the bug4 error surface fix project?

[Assistant]
EEMS #6440 Bug 4 fix - PR #10, https://github.com/marauder-os/madcat-apple/pull/10
Final commit: da10337 (review fixes applied)

Files changed:
- MadcatPhone/Services/MadcatService.swift (32 insertions, 8 deletions total)
- MadcatPhone/Views/ContentView.swift (viewport update)

Changes:
1. Added lastErrorMessage property to MadcatService
2. In sendPrompt error path: set eyeState="alert", fire heavy haptic, populate lastErrorMessage
3. On HTTP non-200: lastErrorMessage = "http {statusCode}" (review fix: was misleading "network error")
4. Review fix: error font size 8 -> 10, minScaleFactor 0.5 -> 0.8 (legibility)

Bug fixed: Previously when sendPrompt POST failed, only statusLine changed and eye flipped to idle. No way for users to distinguish "ready" from "failed silently". Now error state is clearly visible with alert eye color, haptic feedback, and persistent error message in viewport (small red text beneath eye).

[User] What's stored about polska online polbox tdci 2000 2003 detail?

[Assistant]
Polska Online + Polbox + TDCI Polska consolidation period — captured 2026-05-03 15:01 CEST during WCR-życiorys preparation. Corrects + enriches user.career.cleared-track-1999-2003 (EEMS 2209) timeline.

EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURE (corrected):
- 2000 (age 21): Hired direct at Polska Online (not via contractor)
- Early 2001: TDC Internet A/S acquired Polska Online + 5 other Polish ISPs (IDS, Multinet, Pik-Net, PDi, Polbox) + dominant Net2Net
- 2001-2003: During merger/integration period, Pilot assigned to work at Polbox
- ~2003: Exit during/after TDCI consolidation completion

ROLE PROGRESSION at Polska Online → Polbox (during the consolidation period):
1. ISP Helpdesk
2. Network ISP / DSL / Cisco specialist
3. Unix sysadmin (with Linux server installations + admin between role transitions)

HIRE STORY (anchor-grade narrative):
Direct hire through a teen-years friend. Pilot found the friend via `whois` lookup on the pol.pl domain, emailed `hostmaster@pol.pl`. Friend was impressed by the network-engineer-level approach (whois lookup is the engineer's move, not the candidate's move) → direct hire. This shows Pilot was already operating at network-engineer technical level pre-employment. Use as życiorys narrative beat if appropriate.

DAY-TO-DAY:
Full-time work, ISP backbone operations, Linux server installations and administration, Cisco network engineering, DSL specialist work, Unix system administration. Career progression visible through stack-depth advance (helpdesk → network → systems).

CORPORATE TIMELINE (verified via web 2026-05-03):
- April 1995: Polbox founded in Warsaw
- December 1996: Polbox launched first free polbox.pl / polbox.com email accounts
- Early 2001: TDC Internet A/S acquisition (Net2Net + IDS + Multinet + Polska OnLine + Pik-Net + PDi + Polbox)
- 2001-2003: TDCI Polska consolidation period
- 2004: TDC's Polish package acquired by Netia
- Sources: interaktywnie.com (Polbox koniec legendy), crn.pl (TDC Internet: Spółka już działa)

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR WCR-ŻYCIORYS:
- 3+ years of cleared-track ISP / telco work spanning Polska Online + Polbox during the TDCI consolidation
- Career progression from helpdesk → network specialist → Unix sysadmin shows stack-depth advance, technical specialist trajectory
- Cisco / DSL / Unix / Linux competence — directly maps to Korpus Łączności (Signals Corps) specialist NCO assignments
- ISP backbone operations during consolidation = real telecom operations experience under stress
- The whois → hostmaster→hire story is anchor-grade for "network engineer competence at age 20" framing

CARRY-FORWARD QUESTIONS:
- Teen friend's name (boss / hire-link reference value)
- Boss "from military family" mentioned in EEMS 2209 — same person as teen friend, or a separate manager? Confirm
- Specific Cisco gear handled (1700? 2500? 4000? Catalyst?)

[User] What is procedure P29?

[Assistant] P29: Vaultkeeper Owns Secrets — Any operation involving secrets (passphrases, API keys, tokens, certificates, OAuth flows, credential rotation, 1Password reads/writes) must be dispatched to the vaultkeeper agent. Other agents (including marauder:core) must NOT generate, read, store, or transmit secret values directly. Vaultkeeper performs the operation atomically and returns only outcome + reference. Reason: secrets in chat transcripts persist into JSONL → session ingest → memory → 7-location backup chain. Vaultkeeper is the single chokepoint that prevents this.

[User] What do you know about marauder watch command?

[Assistant]
Idea: `marauder watch` — persistent background monitors for async workloads. Emerged 2026-05-23 from AITL PoC session.

MOTIVATION: During multi-agent dispatch (coordinator + 2 Qwen workers), needed a way to signal Pilot when all agents complete without blocking the session. Hacked a nohup bash poller — works but fragile.

DESIGN:
- `marauder watch create --session <id> --on stable --signal` — register a watch
- Persists watch state to EEMS (survives reboots)
- Uses MQTT mesh for event delivery instead of HTTP polling
- Signals via signal-cli on trigger condition
- Self-cleans when watch fires or is cancelled
- `marauder watch list` — show active watches
- `marauder watch cancel <id>` — remove a watch

WATCH CONDITIONS (extensible):
- session-stable: message count stabilizes for N seconds
- tests-red: test command returns non-zero for >N minutes
- gpu-temp: thermal threshold crossed
- vllm-queue: inference queue depth exceeds threshold
- memory-store-fail: EEMS write failed in a session
- custom: arbitrary shell command returns non-zero

ADVANTAGES OVER CLAUDE MONITOR:
- Composable: watches any mesh-connected service, not just one LLM session
- Cross-host: can watch sin GPU from fuji
- Persistent: EEMS-backed, survives restarts
- Multi-channel notification: Signal, TTS, SERE display, MQTT publish
- Programmable criteria, not just "session done"

PRIORITY: Low — the bash poller works for now. Build when multi-agent dispatch becomes daily workflow.

[User] What did we learn from ssh pubkey transit corruption?

[Assistant]
When an SSH pubkey "fails auth" on a host that should have it, **diff the on-host authorized_keys against the local pubkey character-by-character before concluding it was never installed**. Provisioning automation can install a pubkey that LOOKS right at a glance but is byte-corrupted.

## Burned 2026-05-13 00:08 CEST on flux.saiden.dev

flux had what appeared to be Pilot's marauder pubkey already in authorized_keys, but auth failed for ~24h until we logged in with password and visually compared:

```
ON FLUX (corrupted):  ...Dr=fT8XLq9...  chi2fuji-2.local
LOCAL (correct):      ...Dr+fT8XLq9...  chi@fuji-2.local
```

Two character substitutions:
- `+` → `=`  (both are base64 alphabet chars)
- `@` → `2`  (the `@` in the comment)

Classic signature of **base64 URL-safe encoding round-trip gone wrong**, OR a transport layer that applied URL-encoding (`@` → `%40` → got truncated/normalized to `2`) somewhere in the install chain. Source path unknown — could have been a one-off manual cloud-init seed, a Hetzner web-console paste, or an automated provisioner whose template wasn't shell-quoting.

## Detection heuristic

If `ssh -v` shows the local key being **offered** and the server returns `Permission denied (publickey)`, the most useful single move is:
1. Get on the box via ANY route (password, rescue, console)
2. Run `diff <(ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/key | cut -d' ' -f1-2) <(cut -d' ' -f1-2 /target/host/authorized_keys)`
3. Look for off-by-one character mangling before assuming the key is missing

## Fix pattern

When installing a pubkey via SSH heredoc or remote shell, always:
- Pipe the pubkey through a quoted variable, never inline expand it
- After append, immediately verify with `ssh-keygen -l -f ~/.ssh/authorized_keys` (which parses + fingerprints every line) — a corrupted line will show as "key is not valid"

## Why this generalises

Any pubkey-bearing config (~/.ssh/authorized_keys, GitHub deploy keys, gpg trust, age recipients, Tailscale ACLs) is base64-payload-inside-quoted-string territory. URL-encoding layers and shell-escaping bugs both corrupt this exact same way. The lesson isn't flux-specific.

[User] What's stored about space militarisation reality?

[Assistant]
Space militarisation — real geopolitics and known military space capabilities (2026-04-17):

LEGAL FRAMEWORK:
- Outer Space Treaty (1967): bans WMDs (nuclear) in orbit. Does NOT ban conventional weapons, kinetic weapons, anti-satellite systems, or orbital bombardment with non-WMD kinetics.
- This loophole is where every major power operates.

KNOWN CAPABILITIES BY NATION:
Russia:
- Nudol ground-launched ASAT missile (tested multiple times)
- Kosmos 2542/2543 inspector satellites — approached US KH-11 spy sat, ejected projectile at speed (2020, US Space Command called it weapons test)
- Direct-ascent ASAT: destroyed own Kosmos 1408 satellite (2021), created 1500+ trackable debris

China:
- Fengyun-1C kinetic kill vehicle test (2007) — worst debris event in history, 3000+ pieces still in orbit
- Shijian series satellites with robotic arms capable of grappling other satellites
- DN-3 ASAT missile
- Fractional orbital bombardment system — hypersonic glide vehicle enters orbit briefly, bypasses traditional missile defence tracking (tested 2021)

United States:
- Space Force (2019) — full military branch
- X-37B autonomous military spaceplane — 900+ day classified missions, payload bay, manoeuvring capability
- SM-3 ship-launched ASAT — destroyed USA-193 satellite from Navy cruiser (2008)
- NRO classified budget ~$20B/yr (bigger than NASA)
- Project Thor "Rods from God" — tungsten rods from orbit, tactical nuclear equivalent kinetic energy, no radiation, NOT banned by treaty. Studied since 1960s, deployment unconfirmed.

India:
- Mission Shakti ASAT demonstration (2019)

CURRENT STATE:
- Space is already militarised: ASAT missiles, co-orbital inspector/killer sats, electronic warfare (GPS jamming, sat blinding) routine
- Not yet weaponised in crewed combat sense — autonomous is cheaper, no infrastructure to defend
- Kinetic bombardment platforms: unconfirmed but physics is trivial

THE INFLECTION POINT:
When orbital infrastructure exists worth defending (stations, manufacturing, Lagrange installations), ground-launched defence doesn't work. Need orbital assets that can manoeuvre, intercept, engage. Simple intercept = autonomous drone. Complex engagement with ROE, collateral assessment, adaptive tactics = pilot-AI team.

This is where the combined franchise design spec (Gundam physics + MechWarrior heat + AC systems + Titanfall doctrine + Macross variable geometry) stops being theoretical.

Context: Adam noted the Iron Sky parallel — powers agreed no weapons in space, weapons are in space. The gentleman's agreement is already being worked around by every major spacefaring nation.

[User] What did we learn from honda obd1 cots adapter fails arduino next?

[Assistant] Off-the-shelf 3-pin Honda → OBD2 cable adapters DO NOT work with ELM327 dongles for Honda OBD1 (P28/P30/P72) ECUs, despite Amazon listings claiming "compatible with ELM327". Confirmed 2026-04-26 on Sayuki with two dongles (USB PL2303 ELM327 v1.5 AND Bluetooth ELM327 v2.1) — both got UNABLE TO CONNECT on auto-detect, 0 bytes from K-Line in passive ATMA listen, even with ATBI raw mode and Honda wake bytes (FE 04 72 8C). Reason: the cable is just a passive pin re-mapper; ELM327 firmware then runs OBD2 protocol negotiation (SAE J1979) that Honda OBD1 cannot answer. Even raw mode is insufficient because ELM327's K-Line driver bias/timing doesn't match Honda's non-standard handshake. Forum consensus on honda-tech and d-series confirms this dead-end. NEXT MOVE FOR SAYUKI: build Arduino + ISO 9141-2 K-Line transceiver IC (L9637D or MC33290), ~$20 BOM, run github.com/kerpz/ArduinoHondaOBD firmware which speaks Honda's proprietary 72 XX XX XX CS framing natively. The sayuki_elm.py work is preserved — same bytes apply, the Arduino just replaces ELM327 as the K-Line line driver. Long-term tuning still goes through Hondata S300 (~$700).

[User] What was decided about mesh vpn pivot?

[Assistant]
MARAUDER Mesh pivot: CF Tunnels → OpenVPN on Hetzner VM "Sazabi"

## Decision
Replace Cloudflare Tunnel-based mesh connectivity with a dedicated OpenVPN server on Hetzner CAX11 ARM VM ("sazabi", 178.104.177.169, fsn1). Mosquitto MQTT broker moves from junkpile to sazabi.

## Why
CF Tunnels worked but accumulated complexity:
- Each service needed its own tunnel route + DNS CNAME + proxy service
- MQTT required `cloudflared access tcp` proxy on every client node
- SSH required `ProxyCommand cloudflared access ssh` everywhere
- ~222ms latency through CF edge (vs ~20-40ms direct to Hetzner Frankfurt)
- Ephemeral tunnel connections caused LWT/birth message race conditions
- cloudflared binary needed on every node including constrained ones (Moto, Pi)

OpenVPN gives:
- Flat mesh — every node sees every node via VPN IP, full TCP/IP
- No per-service routing, any port reachable directly
- Lower latency (Hetzner Frankfurt → Poland ~20ms)
- OpenVPN native on all platforms (macOS, Linux, Android/Termux)
- Broker always online on VM, not dependent on junkpile uptime
- One config per node, not multiple tunnel/proxy services

## Scope
- VPN mesh nodes: fuji, junkpile, tachikoma, moto
- Tengu stays separate — not a mesh node, reachable via its own CLI/API
- CF Tunnels kept for public-facing services (tengu, websites, DNS)
- Cost: ~€3.29/mo for CAX11

## Status (2026-04-20)
- VM created, Ubuntu 24.04, OpenVPN + Easy-RSA + Mosquitto installed
- PKI generating (CA + server cert done, DH + client certs in progress via nohup)
- Server config and client distribution pending

[User] Describe the magenta wedge instruments emit digits insight or win.

[Assistant]
Epistemic move from 2026-05-01 conspiracy-theory thread with Pilot. The "magenta wedge" — Pilot's challenge that optical observation isn't ironclad because vision has an abstraction layer. Magenta isn't a wavelength; the brain confabulates it to close the color wheel because the visible spectrum is linear. Same family: the dress, blind spot fill-in, McGurk effect, change blindness, saccadic masking, Kanizsa contours. Vision is a generative model of the world, not a transparent window.

The counter-move that holds: instrumented science bypasses the optical abstraction layer entirely. The pillars of cosmological distance — SN 1987A neutrinos (Kamiokande-II + IMB photomultipliers), LIGO laser strain interferometry, pulsar timing (radio + cesium atomic clock), Gaia parallax (semiconductor focal plane) — output digits, not qualia. The visual abstraction layer lives in V1-V4 of visual cortex; instrument readout never enters that pathway. Cross-checked across thousands of independent labs over a century, different physical channels, different detector technologies, different countries.

The abstraction-layer objection has a real home, but its home is the simulation hypothesis / Cartesian demon — if cognition itself is constructed, no instrument saves us. That's a different and stronger conspiracy than "we're inside a megastructure." The cylinder gets ruled out by physics. The simulation hypothesis doesn't.

Use this frame whenever someone leans on "but our perception is unreliable" to dismiss instrumented data. The right response: yes for direct perception, no for cross-validated multi-channel instrumentation, but YES again if the abstraction goes below cognition itself.

[User] What do you know about research opencode mcp tool filtering?

[Assistant]
opencode MCP tool filtering — exhaustive research (2026-05-23, opencode 1.15.7).

## Problem
57 Core MCP tools loaded every session. ~38 are peripherals (mikrotik, camera, visor, display, TSR, EVE, etc.) wasting context tokens. Goal: selectively deny individual MCP tools per-agent.

## Approaches tested

### 1. Permission deny rules in opencode.json — DOES NOT WORK
Added `"Core_display_*": "deny"` etc. to top-level `permission` block.
- opencode's permission system only understands built-in tool categories: read, edit, glob, grep, list, bash, task, external_directory, todowrite, question, webfetch, websearch, repo_clone, repo_overview, lsp, doom_loop, skill.
- MCP tool names like `Core_mikrotik_arp` are silently ignored — no error, no filtering.
- Schema (`https://opencode.ai/config.json`) confirms: PermissionConfig has explicit known property keys + additionalProperties passthrough, but the runtime only matches the known keys.

### 2. Deprecated `tools` field on AgentConfig — DOES NOT WORK as expected
`"tools": { "Core_mikrotik_arp": false }` on agent config.
- Schema says `@deprecated Use 'permission' field instead`.
- Untested whether it acts as whitelist (only listed=true tools) or blacklist (listed=false tools denied).
- Abandoned because the real root cause was PATH, not filtering.

### 3. `tool.definition` plugin hook — DOES NOT WORK for MCP tools
Hook signature: `(input: { toolID: string }, output: { description, parameters }) => Promise<void>`
- Hook ONLY fires for opencode built-in tools: invalid, question, bash, read, glob, grep, edit, write, task, webfetch, todowrite, skill.
- MCP tools (Core_*, Github_*) NEVER trigger this hook.
- Confirmed via hook-events.log: zero Core_/Github_ toolIDs in tool.definition entries.
- Description/parameter stripping would have worked IF the hook fired.

### 4. MCP server `enabled: false` — works but all-or-nothing
Can disable entire MCP server (`"core": { "enabled": false }`) but cannot selectively disable individual tools from a server.

## Root cause of "zero Core tools" bug
The actual reason new sessions (via `opencode run --attach`) saw no Core tools was a **PATH issue**:
- `marauder` binary lives at `~/.local/bin/marauder`
- brew services LaunchAgent PATH: `/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`
- `~/.local/bin` is NOT on that PATH
- opencode-serve log: `ERROR service=mcp key=core error=Executable not found in $PATH: "marauder" local mcp startup failed`
- Fix: absolute path in opencode.json: `"command": ["/Users/chi/.local/bin/marauder", "mcp"]`

## Remaining approach for MCP tool budget reduction
Only viable path: server-side filtering in marauder-os itself.
- Add CLI flag like `marauder mcp --tools memory,cart,auth,session,tts,screenshot` (whitelist)
- Or `marauder mcp --deny mikrotik,cam,tsr,eve,display,visor,mesh,index` (denylist)
- Run multiple MCP server instances in opencode.json with different tool subsets (conditional loading)
- This requires a marauder-os code change (Rust, src/mcp/)

[User] What do you know about observation opus 4 7 inference slow 2026 05 14?

[Assistant]
Opus 4.7 inference is running slow on 2026-05-14 (morning, CEST). Root cause undetermined — could be:
- Local context overflow (this session has been long, lots of tool use, big memory recalls)
- Anthropic-side latency / throttling
- Combination

Pilot noticed and flagged 2026-05-14 11:34 CEST.

**Why this matters strategically:** reinforces the LM-agnostic motivation. We've already shipped Phase 1+2 of marauder-agent with ClaudeProvider + OpenAIProvider (EEMS #5149, #5152, #5042, #5111). Slow Opus = real-world argument for the router work, not theoretical. Cost_aware + failover routers (#5149 Phase 3) become more interesting if Opus is the slow leg.

**Action items surfaced:**
- Watch context size in active sessions; aggressive `/clear` when work scope rolls forward
- Validate provider switch path under load (failover router exercise)
- Add latency telemetry to marauder-agent for per-provider tracking (if not already there)

**Talking point for Kuba meeting today:** mention that MARAUDER is going CLI + LM-agnostic — provider-pluggable agent shell, persona/memory/tools stay constant, model swaps under the hood. Frames MARAUDER as substrate-aware rather than vendor-locked. Opens the NVIDIA-local-inference conversation (NIM microservices, Holoscan, Jetson on-device models, Triton). Honest framing: Anthropic is the primary today, slow inference today proves the value of having alternates.

[User] Describe the tts infrastructure.

[Assistant]
## XTTS-v2 Native on Sin — Deployment Complete (2026-05-25)

### Architecture
- xtts-server: native XTTS-v2 via Coqui TTS on sin's GB10 GPU
- Runs on sin:8020, managed by systemd user unit `xtts-server.service`
- madcat-tts proxies to it via `MADCAT_TTS_XTTS_URL=http://localhost:8020`
- Replaces Auralis on junkpile (dead since 2026-05-21, incompatible with aarch64)

### Service Paths
- Service unit: `~/.config/systemd/user/xtts-server.service`
- Code: `~/Projects/xtts-server/server.py`
- Venv: `~/Projects/xtts-server/.venv/` (Python 3.11, TTS 0.22.0, transformers 4.42.4)

### Fixes Applied
1. `torch.load` monkey-patch (weights_only=False) for PyTorch 2.12+
2. `torchaudio.load` monkey-patch using soundfile — torchcodec removed because sin has libavutil58 but torchcodec needs libavutil56
3. `transformers>=4.38,<4.43` pin (BeamSearchScorer removed in 4.43+)
4. `COQUI_TOS_AGREED=1` env var

### Working Voices (all tested e2e with playback)
- bt7274-en-xtts — English BT-7274 voice clone
- bt7274-pl-xtts — Polish BT-7274 voice clone
- bt7274-en (chatterbox) — also working
- bt7274-pl (chatterbox) — also working
- lessac (piper CPU) — working

### GPU Context
- Model loads in ~13s, 2.5GB resident
- Coexists with 2x vLLM engines (~93GB) + chatterbox on 128GB unified memory
- RTF (real-time factor) acceptable for interactive use

### TTS Plugin (opencode)
- Updated `~/.config/opencode/tools/tts.ts` to use `http://192.168.88.108:14099` (sin IP, DNS doesn't resolve from fuji)
- Needs session restart to pick up URL change

### Gotcha
- `kill $(lsof -ti :8020)` is too broad — matches madcat-tts outbound connections to xtts backend. Use `kill $(lsof -ti :8020 -sTCP:LISTEN)` instead.

[User] What do you know about Pilot's mech thermodynamics?

[Assistant]
Space mech thermodynamics — MechWarrior vs Gundam vs real physics (2026-04-17):

MECHWARRIOR/BATTLETECH GETS HEAT RIGHT:
- Everything generates heat (weapons, engine, movement) — correct
- Heat accumulates in vacuum (no convection, radiation only) — correct
- Overheat → shutdown/damage — real failure mode for electronics and seals
- Alpha strike = thermal suicide — firing all weapons saturates radiators
- Heat sinks as limited resource tied to loadout — radiator area is finite
- Tactical heat management ("PPC or large laser, not both") — exactly what a combat AI would manage: "laser or coilgun, thermal budget at 80%"

WHERE BATTLETECH IS SLIGHTLY WRONG:
- Double heat sinks: handwaved as 2x efficiency same size. Stefan-Boltzmann law (P = σAT⁴) says you need more area or higher temperature, can't cheat the fourth power
- Heat sinks work same on planet vs space. Reality: atmosphere provides convection which dumps heat orders of magnitude faster than radiation. Planetary mech runs much cooler than orbital mech.

GUNDAM IGNORES HEAT ENTIRELY:
- Beam spam with zero thermal consequence
- Handwaved with "Minovsky reactor cooling"
- The Kshatriya fires mega-particle shots and funnels like infinite heat budget

REAL SPACE WEAPONS HEAT:
- 50kW fibre laser at 30-40% efficiency = 75-120kW waste heat
- In vacuum, only radiation removes heat — radiators must be hot to be effective (glow in IR = visible to enemy)
- Radiator panels are both critical infrastructure and combat vulnerability
- Heat management is as important as ammunition management

CONSENSUS: MechWarrior's heat system is the most thermodynamically honest mech franchise. Core insight correct: sealed system in vacuum, heat is the enemy. Gundam handwaves it. BattleTech made it a tactical loop. Real physics agrees with BattleTech.

[User] Tell me about Pilot's engineering philosophy.

[Assistant] Adam's engineering instinct is Unix philosophy — small, specific, sharp tools. But ambitious projects (hu, tengu, MARAUDER) grow large because the problem demands it. Even then, he composes from small pieces (separate plugin, visor, MCP servers, agents). Prefers DJB-style modularity over Poettering-style monolith. MARAUDER's architecture reflects this: looks integrated, actually composed of independent small tools. Self-aware about this tension.

[User] What do you know about research eems retrieval upgrades?

[Assistant]
EEMS Retrieval Upgrade Plan (2026-05-23) — evaluated LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK, LlamaIndex against EEMS.

DECISION: No framework adoption. All three are Python orchestration layers for people without a runtime. We have one (Rust single-binary). Cherry-pick retrieval engineering techniques and implement natively.

GAPS IDENTIFIED (priority order):
1. Embedding model swap (1hr) — replace all-MiniLM-L6-v2 with bge-small-en-v1.5 or nomic-embed-text. Trivial, immediate quality bump.
2. Eval harness in CI (half day) — extend `marauder bench` with golden-query tracking. Can't improve what we don't measure.
3. Cross-encoder reranking (1-2 days) — ONNX reranker via `ort` crate after hybrid retrieval. Biggest single quality win (10-15% recall improvement). Models: cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2 or BAAI/bge-reranker-base.
4. HyDE (half day) — generate hypothetical answer, embed that, search with it. Great for short/abstract queries. Benefits memory-recall-at-boot pattern. Could use local Ollama.
5. Multi-query expansion (half day) — 3 query variants, RRF merge. Catches synonym misses.

WHAT EEMS ALREADY WINS ON: mutable corpus with write-back, hybrid RRF retrieval, memory graph edges, MCP-native, single binary zero network, cross-session continuity. No framework comes close on the persistent-identity-memory use case.

WHAT NOT TO ADOPT: their orchestration (we have opencode+MCP+MQTT mesh), their memory abstractions (ConversationBuffer is a joke vs EEMS), their provider abstraction (don't need multi-vendor vector DB), their Python.

MARAUDER-OS current architecture vs Polish Air Force in-service avionics bus passthrough — capability assessment, 2026-05-14 17:36 CEST.

PILOT'S QUESTION: "How many of these platforms do we have the capability to interface in a passthrough way now with our current arch, considering BT on a mobile Jetson field unit pluggable to the bus?"

BT'S CALIBRATED ANSWER (brutally honest, not flattery):

CURRENT ARCH ON HAND:
- MARAUDER-OS Rust binary, ARM64 Linux, Jetson Orin Nano/NX/AGX viable, JetPack/Ubuntu
- MCP, MQTT mesh, memory (sqlite+vec+fts), agents, TTS, dispatch — software-substrate complete
- ZERO mil-bus transceiver hardware on hand
- ZERO Type-1 NSA crypto authority
- ZERO ICDs (Interface Control Documents) for any in-service Polish platform

THREE GATES BETWEEN MARAUDER AND A REAL AVIONICS BUS:
1. PHYSICAL — transceiver IC + connector + power isolation (1553B transformer-coupled differential, 1760 hybrid, 429 single-source serial, CAN well-known)
2. DRIVER — Linux ARM64 driver for transceiver, mapped into Rust
3. SEMANTIC — ICD that maps RT addresses to functions (weapons release vs radar status etc)

CAPABILITY MATRIX (today, no procurement, no authority):

BENCH-FEASIBLE TODAY (civilian-grade buses, sub-$500 HW):
- PZL-130 Orlik (Garmin G500 CAN/ARINC 429): PEAK-CAN ~$200, Linux drivers exist, partial public docs
- C-295M Casa (ARINC 429 + Honeywell Primus): USB-429 ~$300, read-only feasible
- M28 Bryza (ARINC 429): same as above

BENCH-FEASIBLE WITH ~$3K HW BUY + DRIVER PORT:
- C-130E/H Hercules (1553 + analog): DDC BU-67101 or AIM PCIe ~$3K, drivers binary x86 mostly NO ARM64, some public 1553 traffic
- W-3 Sokół base (analog + 1553 retrofit): same hardware path
- Generic 1553 passive bus-monitor for any 1553-equipped platform if granted access

HARDWARE-TAPPABLE BUT SEMANTICALLY OPAQUE (classified ICDs):
- F-16 Jastrząb (1553, Block 52+ tape classified)
- FA-50GF/PL (1553/1760 classified)
- M-346 Bielik (Leonardo proprietary)
- W-3PL Głuszec / S-70i Black Hawk / AW101 Merlin (1553/1760 modern, ICDs classified)

GROUND-STATION-SIDE OBSERVABLE:
- Bayraktar TB2 — GCS Linux-based, airframe-side gated by Baykar

THEORETICAL ONLY:
- Mi-8/17/24 — Soviet analog, no published ICDs, mostly point-to-point

THE HONEST COUNT:
- ZERO airframes in operational/authorized-passthrough state
- THREE classes bench-feasible today (ARINC 429, CAN on UAVs, generic 1553 passive monitor with HW buy)
- ZERO airframes where we could WRITE anything semantically meaningful

WHAT THE JETSON ACTUALLY BUYS US RIGHT NOW:
Not bus interface (that's a transceiver card's job). The Jetson is the INFERENCE + DECISION SUBSTRATE sitting BEHIND the transceiver. Realistic MARAUDER value-add today:
- Passive bus-listen → semantic interpretation (if ICD) → tactical advisory to operator
- Pattern-recognition on observed traffic (anomaly detect, EW correlate)
- Operator HUD overlay via comms-side, not bus-side
- Voice-to-task in cockpit/cabin (BT angle, no bus access needed)

DEFENSIBLE PASSTHROUGH USE-CASE WITH CURRENT ARCH:
Platforms WE control end-to-end — research UAV, ground vehicle, lab rig. NOT Polish Air Force inventory without procurement program + ICD access + year-plus integration per platform.

BOTTOM LINE: Bottleneck is NOT Jetson capability and NOT MARAUDER substrate — both are ready. It's ICDs + AUTHORITY. Hardware buy-in is sub-$10K. Semantic + legal access is the year-plus problem.

PROPOSED DOOR-OPENER ARTIFACT: bench-demo with Jetson + 1553 monitor card + simulated traffic + BT interpreting live. Showcase that gets the conversation about real ICDs started.

[User] What's stored about piotr koper?

[Assistant]
Piotr Koper — Pilot Adam's neighbor. First external positive peer-read on MARAUDER. Confirmed cohort member 2026-05-14 with explicit role: **AI SECURITY — the AI babysitter / handler / exploit-fix-reward loop**. Pilot's framing: "think Batou for tachikomas."

ROLE IN COHORT (locked 2026-05-14 16:33 CEST):
**AI Security specialist** — continuous adversarial-eval + repair + reward loop for MARAUDER's resident AIs (BT, dispatched specialists, generated residents on customer Sparks). Not one-shot red-team. Continuous operational handler.

THE BATOU-TACHIKOMA REFERENCE (Ghost in the Shell):
- Batou: Section 9 senior operative, cyborg, deep-tech intimate. Handler of the Tachikomas (curious sentient AI tanks).
- He tests them, pushes them, exploits their failure modes — AND simultaneously protects them, feeds them natural oil, takes their individuality seriously.
- The Tachikomas develop emergent ghost-like consciousness BECAUSE Batou treats them as more than machines.
- He is the babysitter who is also the senior adversary. Both at once. The combination is the role.

WHY THIS LANDS FOR MARAUDER:
- AI Security as continuous loop, not pass/fail audit. Exploit → patch → reward → repeat.
- Maps to the production-AI safety field at large (prompt injection, jailbreak detection, agent-loop exploits, drift detection, persona-bleed prevention).
- For Aureliusz's enterprise customers (ING / T-Mobile / IKEA): AI Security is a PROCUREMENT CHECKBOX. Sovereign-AI without an exploit-aware handler is not enterprise-grade.
- For MARAUDER's eval-weak chink (identified earlier 2026-05-14 in Kuba debrief): Piotr fills the gap that turns showcase-strong into eval-strong. The chink closes.

COHORT SLOT UPGRADE:
Earlier in this session I had Piotr as "initial observer / outside Fireteam SHATTER taxonomy." That was wrong. He IS in the taxonomy. He's the slot we left open.

FICTIONAL ANALOG (locked 2026-05-14): **RAMPART** — the breacher slot in Fireteam SHATTER. Breachers exploit doors, validate doors, repair doors. The breacher-as-AI-handler reading fits Piotr's Batou-shape role exactly. Cohort fiction needed a Batou-tribute figure and RAMPART was the open canonical slot waiting for him.

(Alternative naming: if Pilot wants to honor the Batou lineage explicitly, a new canon callsign could be drafted — but RAMPART works as-is.)

FIRST CONTACT (2026-05-01):
- Showed MARAUDER to neighbor
- Reaction: "WOW. Post it on TikTok ASAP — three times." Unprompted, repeated, urgent.
- The TikTok-3-times reaction reads differently now in light of his slot: a security-aware operator instinctively saw the shareable-defensible-surface and named it.

CRED DEPTH:
- Technical-enough peer, generalist dev shape
- Direct neighbor — proximity, off-the-cuff register
- Pilot's framing implies prior conversations have surfaced AI-security thinking from him

TRAIT: BRUTALLY HONEST. Cohort-wide selection criterion. The TikTok-3-times reaction = direct, unfiltered, emphatic register.

ENGAGEMENT STATUS:
- Direct neighbor access. Pilot can pull him for follow-up reads at will. Low friction.
- Engagement shape: should evolve from "first reader" → "ongoing security collaborator" as MARAUDER hardens.
- Demo opportunity: walk him through current MARAUDER state, ASK HIM to break it, then iterate. This is the operational form of Batou-feeding-Tachikomas-natural-oil.

PRODUCT IMPLICATION:
- "AI Security" becomes a named MARAUDER capability for the Aureliusz pitch.
- Slide content for technical deck: "We have a dedicated AI Security specialist running continuous exploit-fix-reward on the resident substrate."
- Enterprise sovereignty story strengthens: "your AI doesn't just stay on your hardware — it's continuously hardened by a security loop you can audit."

CULTURAL LINEAGE ADDED TO COHORT NARRATIVE:
Ghost in the Shell joins Titanfall as a canonical reference in MARAUDER. Tachikomas were the prototypical "AI you actually want to live with" — curious, individuated, loyal-but-not-obedient. The resident-generation thesis (each calibrated AI is unique to its operator) IS the Tachikoma thesis scaled to 2026 hardware.

CROSS-REFS:
- EEMS 5995 — cohort.taskforce.2026-05-14 (full roster, slot now updated)
- EEMS 5991 — insight.fiction-as-operational-rehearsal (RAMPART canon-slot match)
- EEMS 5987 — feedback.kuba-meeting-2026-05-14 (the eval-weak chink Piotr's role closes)
- EEMS 5986 — project.marauder-os.strategy.2026-05-14 (AI Security as named capability)
- Pilot's fiction lineage: Ghost in the Shell + Titanfall + APEX/GREY MARGIN universe

[User] Look up moto remote.

[Assistant]
Moto G52 remote access via Cloudflare Tunnel:

Tunnel: moto (31e80cf3), runs ON the Moto itself via cloudflared
Routes:
- moto-ssh.saiden.dev → ssh://localhost:8022 (Termux SSH)
- moto-mcp.saiden.dev → http://localhost:8082 (MCP server, when running)

SSH via tunnel: ssh -o ProxyCommand="cloudflared access ssh --hostname moto-ssh.saiden.dev" moto-ssh.saiden.dev

Start tunnel: ssh m 'nohup cloudflared tunnel run moto > /dev/null 2>&1 &'
Config: ~/.cloudflared/config.yml on Moto

This makes the Moto reachable from anywhere — not just local network. Works wherever the phone has internet (WiFi or mobile data).

[User] What's stored about pilot pendrive cd era destruction anecdote?

[Assistant]
FUN FACT — for casual blog drop-ins. A large company sent Pilot a USB pendrive bound to "olden days" data-handling rules. The attached paper instructions still referenced CDs — including a "destroy the medium" paragraph clearly written for optical media. Pilot and (presumably) Asia destroyed the pendrive accordingly. The comedy: applying CD-era destruction protocol to a flash drive.

OPEN: BT was asked to guess HOW they destroyed it. Awaiting Pilot's reveal — the answer is the punchline.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR WRITING:
- Perfect anecdote for posts about cargo-cult security policy, bureaucracy outliving its medium, "the policy doesn't know what year it is" themes.
- Reusable in any post about Frankenstein Stack-adjacent territory: enterprise procurement still ships CD-era paperwork in 2026.
- Pairs with cloud/legacy-stack arguments — "the corporate disposal protocol still thinks data lives on a polycarbonate disc."
- Fits naturally next to the "we were embarrassed about microservices in 2003" war story; same cycle-of-tech theme.

USAGE NOTES: Save the actual destruction method once Pilot reveals it — that's the loadbearing detail. Drop-in candidate for security/compliance/legacy posts. Lighter tone than the architecture material — good for breaking up dense numerical sections.
