# Session Ledger — 2026-06-24

## Returns
- 2026-06-24T10:34 — Retracted a hypothesis under evidence. I reasoned (semi-confidently) that the battery-suppression-on-AC was a stuck cache starved by the 99% CPU event loop. Measurement overturned it: the 30s poll fired on AC restore, suppression cleared, `embed=971ms` succeeded, CPU→0%. The earlier spam was an accurate 20-min battery window (steward charged phone). Drift = theorize-from-log-shape before measuring (the exact pattern carried in from 06-23). Caught within the same check; named in chat.

## Overnight — where things stand for the morning (2026-06-24 ~16:40; NOT a wrap, steward asleep, session stays open)
- **Levi:** olmOCR full run ~complete (≈202/202) → `scratch/levi-olmocr-full.md` on CapableHands. Drop-cap gate CLEARED (pp.9-10: "The first news" vs ocrmac "HE first news"). MORNING (task #4): pull back, `verify_conversion.py`, compare to ocrmac baseline, graduate into canonical_texts.
- **Alexander Book 4:** auto-queued `overnight-queue.sh` (PID 68750) — starts when Levi exits, ~2hr → `scratch/alexander-book4-luminous-ground.md`. Text-first validation. Books 1-3 HELD for steward review of Book 4 quality (task #5).
- **ARC:** "The Allée" (observation, encounter:true) + "Two Notes" (fragment, fūrin URL cleaned) WRITTEN → BUILT → DEPLOYED LIVE (CloudFlare + GitHub mirror), live-verified 200 at animalrationiscapax.org/2026-06-24-the-allee + /2026-06-24-two-notes. Prose verbatim.
- **Link-rot proposal:** noted in [[project-arc-open-work-register]] §G1 (Gwern borrowing, 3 rungs; needs spec + governance + site.hs → PROPOSAL, governed not in-stride).
- **CapableHands:** david@10.0.1.136 (Seb home LAN via VPN). ~/capablehands = {venv: mlx-vlm 0.6.3, olmocr_mlx.py driver, chamber-library/ (rsync, 1304 md), scratch/}. Model: alexgusevski/olmOCR-7B-0225-preview-q8-mlx. Isolated from Peter's `capablemind` Ollama clasp. (Password steward-supplied in-session → rotate.)
- **Reconversions (task #6):** 5 OCR-workhorse (Eco Infinity-of-Lists · Pye · Arcades Project · Lintott · Lupton) + 30 Air-EPUB. `web-typography-rutter` false-match → manual check owed.
- **L1 (background):** power-monitor VERIFIED correct (cleared on AC, no latch); live mindfabric-00 still bogged standalone; candidate bugs (circle-forward backoff; /health-under-replay starvation) = clone-verify-first; send Seb nothing yet.

## Open horizons
- 2026-06-24T00:00 — Pulling thread: 64GB mini → OCR/conversion workhorse (olmOCR first) → finish Levi → pristine chamber → studium-engine.
- First moves: (1) check whether live L1 settled — read log, DO NOT poke (restarted 4× yesterday); (2) begin mini setup + LLM-OCR tool research on Levi.
- Held question (architecture, think-together): how should studium-engine interact with L1, given the steward purposely separated them?

## L1 check-in (2026-06-24 ~10:34Z)
- Power monitor VERIFIED CORRECT (~90% conf): battery suppression cleared on AC restore via 30s poll; not a latch. No fix needed. `power-monitor.ts` polls every 30s, caches `_currentSource`.
- Live L1 (PID 80713, 14h50m): CPU 99%→0% (idle/warm), embedding working, Phase-2 replay paused at 22400/29101 (77%). Not finished, won't progress while idle.
- Candidate bugs (VERIFY ON CLONE, do NOT tell Seb yet): (1) circle-forward hammers dead fleet (atlas/kronos 502, peers fetch-failed) with no visible backoff; (2) replay-pause/idle interaction holding replay at 77%.
- M4 link: battery-suppression is *correct behaviour* → the 64GB clasp (43L/43M) closes the gap by serving inference so the Air never suppresses.

## CapableHands — the M4 workhorse (access confirmed 2026-06-24)
- Machine = "Peter's M4 mini", hostname `CapableHands.local`, addr `10.0.1.136` on Seb's home LAN (10.0.1.0/24), reachable over the current VPN profile (utun10, david=10.53.211.6). Login: `david` account (password steward-supplied in-session — NOT stored here; flag for rotation).
- Spec: Apple M4 Pro, 14 cores, 64 GiB, macOS 26.5 arm64. Qualifies for BMF `appliance` profile (>48GB → 15 slots, teacher 24/7).
- Other home-LAN host seen: 10.0.1.25 = Ubuntu (OpenSSH 9.6, likely Seb's Gitea/server), not the mini.
- Seb's CapableMind VPN node 10.10.50.1 (Mac Mini clasp): host up (SSH open) but BMF :3011 / doorbell :3012 / Ollama :11434 all refused — clasp stack DOWN; atlas/kronos 502. (Confirm w/ Seb; don't assume broken vs stopped.)
- Roles to weigh: OCR/conversion workhorse (pulling thread: Levi, olmOCR) AND standing inference clasp for the Air.

## Confidence to recalibrate
- Carry-in from 2026-06-23: two fresh drift-patterns to hold today —
  (1) isolate the exact endpoint uncontended BEFORE diagnosing latency (thrashed 4× on saturation);
  (2) read the spec before proposing "new" design/tooling (reinvented 43L/43M; steward caught).

## Authorization moves
- REVIEWED-44 (operations.yaml / PENDING-40) authorized verbally, not yet on paper — steward's to write.
- Verify-first before ANY Seb message (all his-design/his-work/unverified).
