Ops verified

Production Automation

  • Daily checks, session verification, and Obsidian sync docs were updated.
  • Generated verification stays out of source churn.
  • The repo Python wrapper remains the standard entrypoint.

Stack decision record

Backend Cost Plan

  • Default posture is local/private NorthStar plus Cloudflare as the likely edge shell.
  • n8n, ngrok, DreamHost, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic were separated into keep, pause, or cap decisions.
  • Public data use now has rules: save source dates, cache where useful, and avoid fragile live dependencies.
BACKEND_STACK_COST_OPTIMIZATION_2026-05-30.md PRODUCTION_AUTOMATION_STACK_2026-05-25.md
Food / Garden ready for seed inventory

Garden Nursery

  • The stock tank became a tray nursery plan, not one large dirt tub.
  • Tomatoes and peppers should use live starts for reliable 2026 yield, with seeds as backup.
  • Melons get a small warm-season trial with careful transplant handling.
GARAGE_STOCK_TANK_SEED_START_PLAN_2026.md PORTLAND_FOOD_GARDEN_ALMANAC.md
Living System ready for stocking design

Opalarium

  • The 125-gallon plan is freshwater shimmer plus fluorescence, not an everything-glowing mixed system.
  • True bioluminescence belongs in a separate marine micro-display.
  • Iridescent shark and random mini-shark purchases were explicitly blocked.

Craft / Food needs material-safety review

Candle And Candy Lab

  • Added candle recipes, hard-candy controls, sour/glass/shimmer tests, and VORATH packaging names.
  • Cart-craft classifier now separates candle, candy, and food-contact-review lanes.
  • Food-only and candle-only tools must stay physically separate.

Print / Food reader packet ready

Candy Cookbook And Staples Packet

  • Created a candy-only cookbook proof with existing and new confectionery recipes.
  • Added an adult-only cannabis-medicated section with legal-input, locked-storage, and no-medical-claims boundaries.
  • Generated the coffee-table proof, coloring-book proof, compact calendar copy, VORATH image notes, README, email body, and ZIP.

AI / Media architecture scaffolded

Local AI Audio-Visual Engine

  • Verified the NSP video, cable, radio, games, and studio doctors in offline-first mode.
  • Mapped Codex as the local workflow helper for intake, rights checks, briefs, prompt decks, review, display, and packaging.
  • Identified the next blocker: local NSP settings and budget rules need setup.
