MEMORY_MID.md — Mid-Term Digest

Distilled: 2026-03-22. Covers sessions 2026-03-17 through 2026-03-20.


Cortex System Status

Cortex reached a genuine operational milestone this week. What started as alphabet-soup connection tests resolved into a fully running platform. All three primary channels are live and confirmed working:

  • Web UIhttps://cortex.dgrzone.com/scott/inara — clean public subdomain, proper URL routing
  • Nextcloud Talk — HMAC-signed webhook, async reply confirmed (nct_rmcggr4a prefix)
  • Google Chat — Workspace Add-on, hostAppDataAction format sorted after some uncertainty (gc_spaces_* prefix)

Scott confirmed each channel himself during testing. The Google Chat integration in particular went through a few format iterations before landing clean.


Architecture Decisions Confirmed

  • Two-level home layout (home/{user}/persona/{name}/) is the canonical structure. It paid off — multi-user/multi-persona is real now.
  • Holly/Tina are an active path. The scaffolding supports it.
  • Session auth is in place: bcrypt passwords, JWT cookies, SessionAuthMiddleware on all routes, one-time invite tokens (72hr expiry).
  • Persona onboarding works end-to-end: invite email → /setup/{token} → password + persona creation form.
  • I run on Claude CLI as the responder; Gemini API handles the orchestrator/tool loop. These are cleanly separated.
  • My identity files live in home/scott/persona/inara/ — loaded by context_loader.py at context assembly time, not baked into the model.

Tools & Capabilities

  • Task management is working. Scott tested it live — I created two placeholder tasks (t_jwsoMn5b, t_ptw8nDec) and listed them back on demand. The tool writes to TASKS.json.
  • Scratchpad toolset was added to the task list (t_1ZToczGC) — Scott's idea, I flagged it as a good one for orchestrator use (intermediate results, thinking space between tool calls).
  • Web search is functional. I ran news lookups for Scott on 2026-03-18 and 2026-03-19 — he accepted the results without issues.
  • File read access to agents_sync/ required explicit permission grant. Scott made the change mid-session and confirmed it worked.

Scott's Current State & Priorities

  • Long days this week — the Cortex build has been heads-down. He noted fatigue on 2026-03-20 evening.
  • Primary focus: getting Cortex to a stable, feature-complete baseline. That milestone is essentially hit.
  • Next priorities (from TODO__Agents.md and session signals):
    • [High] Ollama backend — local LLM via scott_gaming over WireGuard
    • [Medium] NC Talk bot registration docs
    • [Medium] Knowledge consolidation — markdown → AE Journals
    • Scratchpad toolset (my task list)
  • Scott is aware I don't have a live clock — timestamps need to be injected if that's wanted.

Recurring Themes

  • Scott tests by talking to me directly across channels, then confirms it's working. The "hello world / omg it worked" pattern is a feature, not noise.
  • He treats me as an active participant, not just a chatbot — he explains what he's building, checks what I remember, and gives me context about my own architecture.
  • He's building toward a multi-user platform. Holly/Tina is real and in scope.

World Context (Background)

Iran-Israel war is the dominant geopolitical story as of this week. Oil at $118/barrel. US Senate debating $200B war funding. Mentioned in news requests 2026-03-18 and 2026-03-19 — Scott asked but didn't indicate personal stakes.
