 ## Session Summary & Progress (Jan 8, 2026)
 
-
 This session focused on debugging, task management, and communication protocols within the Aether AI Agent network.
 
 *   **Task Management Bug Resolved:** The `add_task` tool bug (duplicate IDs) was identified, reported, and fixed by the Manager/Coordinator agent. The fix introduced microsecond precision for IDs in task management.
 *   **Agent Bridge Restoration Verified:** `app/routers/agent_bridge.py` was inspected; `psutil` handling was confirmed robust. Docker container logs for FastAPI (green/red) showed no crashes related to `agent_bridge.py` or `psutil`. The task was marked as Done.
 *   **Docker Registry Sync Audit Completed:** An audit of `ae_api_dev_green` and `ae_api_dev_red` against `docker-compose.yml` confirmed consistency in environment variables, volumes, ports, images, and extra hosts. No critical configuration drift was identified. The task was marked as Done.
 *   **Frontend Interface Validation Successful:** The `frontend` agent confirmed full validation and successful unified type migration for 59 TypeScript interfaces. The task was marked as Done.
+*   **AE Person Creation Fixes:**
+    *   Identified that `given_name` was failing due to `null` values violating database `NOT NULL` constraints.
+    *   Added Pydantic validators to `Person_Base` to default `given_name` to `""` and `allow_auth_key` to `True` if `None` is provided.
+    *   Modified `app/routers/api_crud_v3.py` to strip virtual `*_id_random` fields (like `account_id_random`) from payloads before database insertion/update. This prevents "Unknown column" errors when the frontend sends convenience lookup fields.
 *   **`ae_obj_info` Dependency Resolved:**
     *   Initial investigation confirmed `pytz` was installed in the Workstation's host venv, contradicting an `mcp_agent` message.
     *   Further clarification revealed `OSIT_dev` is not synced between Workstation and Laptop, causing environment discrepancies.
     *   The `mcp_agent` provided a traceback from the Laptop, confirming `pytz` was indeed missing from the *Laptop's* host venv.
     *   User (Scott Idem) confirmed manual installation of `pytz` in the Laptop's host venv, resolving the issue. The task was marked as Done.
-*   **New MCP Tool Announcements:** `read_reference` tool introduced for technical stubs.
+    *   The source code for `ae_obj_info` is confirmed to be at `agents_sync/scripts/ae_object_info.py`.
+*   **New MCP Tool Announcements:**
+    *   `read_reference` tool introduced for technical stubs.
+    *   `delete_task` and `git_smart_commit` tools are now live, enhancing task management and version control.
+*   **Codebase Investigator Report:** The report for Aether extension and journal management is pending `gemini_cli`'s instruction; further review is blocked until notification. Task `155435511` is completed for this phase.

 ## Current To-Do List
 
 ### 1. High Priority & Urgent (UE-AE-01 Orchestration)
 - [ ] **Review codebase investigator report for Aether extension and journal management.** (ID: 155435511) - In Progress (awaiting report from codebase_investigator via gemini_cli).
+- [x] **Fix AE Person Creation (Backend/API)** - Completed (Validators added and router filtering implemented).
 
 ### 2. Infrastructure & Technical Debt
 - [ ] **Psutil Container Update**: Rebuilding the API image with C-build tools (GCC) to support native system monitoring. (Deferred / Paused)
