Memory Log: February 15, 2026
Major Events
1. Ops Sidecar + Planner Removed (Rollback)
Decision: Remove privileged host-control containers built previously.
Cleanup completed:
- Stopped/removed:
ops-sidecar, ops-planner, stale ops-agent
- Deleted directories:
~/ops-sidecar/, ~/ops-planner/, ~/ops-agent/
- Verified: Only
openclaw-openclaw-gateway-1 remains (Privileged=false)
Result: Docker isolation boundary restored. All host control now requires deliberate SSH.
2. Quo SMS Webhook - Fixed (What Minnie Got Wrong)
Minnie's Mistake:
- Tried to install
cloudflared inside Docker container
- Attempted to create brand new tunnel
- Spent time on wrong problem (installation/authentication)
Actual Problem: Three simple config issues
- Port 18791 not exposed from Docker β host
- Existing Cloudflare tunnel missing ingress rule
- Handler had three bugs in event parsing
Fixes Applied (by Quan on host):
1. Port Mapping
- Added
18791:18791 to docker-compose.override.yml
- Recreated container with port exposed
2. Cloudflare Tunnel Ingress
- Used existing
gw-e3364c tunnel (no new tunnel needed!)
- Added DNS route:
sms-7f2a1b.relay9kq.us
- Added ingress rule:
sms-7f2a1b.relay9kq.us β localhost:18791
- Restarted tunnel
3. Systemd Service
- Created
quo-webhook.service (handler survives reboots)
- Previously was bare process, now managed
4. Handler Bugs Fixed
Test SMS "Yo does this work?" hit server but didn't forward because:
- β Handler checked
message.created, Quo sends message.received
- β Handler read from
data, payload is at data.object
- β Handler looked for
text field, Quo uses body
Result: SMS β Telegram flow working end-to-end β
Current Infrastructure State
Cloudflare Tunnel (gw-e3364c)
- Gmail webhook:
minnie-webhook.relay9kq.us β localhost:8080
- Quo SMS webhook:
sms-7f2a1b.relay9kq.us β localhost:18791
Systemd Services (Host)
minnie-webhook.service - Gmail webhook handler
minnie-triage-worker.service - Email triage worker
quo-webhook.service - Quo SMS handler (NEW)
SMS Flow
- β
Inbound: SMS to (385) 485-5863 β Quo β webhook β Telegram
- βΈοΈ Outbound: Manual via Minnie +
quo-messaging.py (not auto-wired)
Quo Webhook URL
https://sms-7f2a1b.relay9kq.us/
Lessons Learned (Escher Loop)
What Minnie Did Wrong:
- Assumed tunnel didn't exist (it did:
gw-e3364c)
- Tried to solve in wrong layer (inside container vs host config)
- Didn't check existing infrastructure before proposing new setup
- Made problem more complex than it was
What Should've Happened:
- Check if tunnel already exists
- Check if port is exposed from container
- Look at handler logs to see what's failing
- Fix the actual bugs, not build new infrastructure
Root Cause: Minnie operates inside container, can't easily see host-level config (tunnels, systemd services, docker-compose). Led to proposing solutions in the wrong layer.
Improvement: Before proposing new infrastructure, ask: "Is this already set up on the host?" Check docker-compose, ask about existing tunnels.
New Priority Identified: RMA/Repair Outsourcing
Context (Feb 15 evening):
Quan revealed critical operational constraint:
- Hundreds of ZTAGGERs recently reworked (battery swap + safety upgrade)
- Work happening out of his house (not scalable)
- Quan doing repairs himself (founder time drain)
- Jerry in town THIS MONTH (learning QC, will return to China soon)
Goal: Outsource RMA/repair to Valencia Fulfillment (current shipping partner)
- Hire skilled tech (disassembly, parts swap, light soldering)
- Quan specs procedures, no longer hands-on
- Use Jerry's presence to document + train while he's here
Priority Level: URGENT (Jerry window + sovereignty issue)
- Loss function #3: Founder sovereignty compromised by operational work
- Escape velocity blocker: Operations can't run without Quan if he's repairing units
- ROI: ~$3-6K/month in Quan time saved
Documented: working/ops/rma-repair-outsourcing-feb2026.md
Next actions:
- Contact Valencia Fulfillment (Kristin or Quan - this week)
- Document repair procedures with Jerry (videos + SOPs)
- Create tech job spec
- Train Valencia tech before Jerry leaves
Action Items
Cost Tracking
Day 6 operational. Infrastructure complexity reduced (removed privileged containers). SMS webhook operational with zero additional cost (reused existing tunnel).
Session: Minnie tried to over-engineer, Quan fixed it in 3 config lines. Lesson logged.
Meeting Corpus Deep Dive (Afternoon)
Context: Quan asked to "pull and ingest more of the meeting notes repo and understand it"
What was absorbed:
- 747 meetings (Sept 2024 - Feb 2026, 17 months)
- 1.3M+ words from Quan
- Full institutional memory and strategic framework
Key documents synthesized:
reports/quan_strategic_session_2026-02-13.md - THE Rosetta Stone
- Team evolution reports (Steve, Kristin, Charlie)
- Social physics framework validation
- Billion-dollar thesis (<10 employees β $1B via AI)
Critical insights captured:
- Steve = 6.7x multiplier (40% adoption rate vs 6% baseline)
- Charlie crux = binary system mass disparity (needs active release)
- Social physics framework validated (Nov 2023 paper predicted rupture outcomes)
- Four phases mapped: Pre-Rupture β Rupture β Stabilization β Growth
Deliverable: analysis/meetings-corpus-deep-dive-feb15.md (14KB comprehensive synthesis)
Status: Fully absorbed. I am now the operational intelligence layer for ZTAG.
Passport Appointment - Booked & Calendared
Urgent window: Exactly 14 days before China trip (March 1)
Booking details:
- Date: Tuesday, February 17, 2026
- Time: 7:30 AM appointment (5:45 AM departure from home)
- Location: LA Passport Agency, 11000 Wilshire Blvd Suite 1000
- Confirmation: M69TWDMT
- Drive: 1hr 15min each way (Castaic β LA β Castaic)
Action taken: Quan acted immediately on my urgent reminder (Feb 15 morning)
Documented: working/ops/passport-appointment-feb17.md
Google Calendar Write Access - COMPLETE
Achievement: Full calendar management capability unlocked
Setup completed:
- β
OAuth re-authorization for write access (manual flow)
- β
ZTAG AI Calendar configured as default (work events, employees can see)
- β
Personal calendar added (quan@gantom.com, private events only)
- β
Tools created:
google-calendar-manage.py, auth scripts
- β
Passport appointment added as 3-event structure
Calendar pattern established (Quan directive):
- All travel appointments = 3 separate events:
- π Drive TO (15 min reminder before departure)
- Appointment (1 day + 30 min reminders)
- π Drive FROM (no reminder)
Travel time guideline (Quan directive):
- Always add 25-50% buffer for traffic
- Rush hour β 50% minimum
- Example: Google says 1hr β schedule 1hr 15-30min
- "Always be conservative with the travel time for traffic"
Default behavior:
- All events β ZTAG AI Calendar (unless explicitly "personal" or "private")
- Personal calendar (quan@gantom.com) only for very private events employees shouldn't see
Tokens stored:
- Work:
/home/node/.openclaw/credentials/google-calendar-tokens.json
- Personal:
/home/node/.openclaw/credentials/google-calendar-personal-tokens.json
Documented:
CALENDAR-PATTERN.md - Full pattern + guidelines
working/ops/calendar-access-setup.md - Setup summary
Status: Tier 2 capability unlocked early (calendar write access operational)
Priority Alignment Confirmed
Today's session validated:
- β
RMA outsourcing = URGENT (Jerry window, sovereignty violation)
- β
Charlie release = HIGH (Quick Wins ready: Paula workflow, Carmee capacity, Vania checklist)
- β
Meeting corpus = strategic foundation (operational intelligence layer established)
- β
Calendar automation = infrastructure (reduces friction, enables proactive scheduling)
Next actions documented:
- Valencia contact (RMA expansion)
- Jerry procedure documentation (while in town)
- Quick Wins execution (Charlie release prep)
- Scanner/printer setup (Charlie friction removal)
Technical Progress
Capabilities added:
- Google Calendar read/write (both work + personal)
- 3-event travel appointment pattern
- Conservative travel buffer guidelines
- Meeting corpus as institutional memory (747 meetings synthesized)
Infrastructure solid:
- Git auto-commit running hourly
- Quo SMS webhook operational (fixed Feb 15)
- Workspace organized: analysis/, plans/, working/ops/
- MEMORY.md updated with RMA priority + corpus insights
Rebuild window: Tonight 9:45 PM PT (OpenClaw 2026.2.14 update queued)
Session: Deep institutional memory absorption + calendar automation established. Tier 1 β Tier 2 capabilities progressing.
