What shipped today

Massive day — closed 37 issues across four grind rounds plus significant manual work. The theme was “make it real for Stacy”: testing the full onboarding-to-daily-value pipeline with a real user (Stacy Sutton) and fixing everything that broke along the way.

Parallel grind execution. Ran four grind rounds using 3-agent teams, burning through the Web app milestone backlog. Round 1 shipped the re-engagement flow (GH-296) and SMS channel via Brevo (GH-306). Round 2 added social post metrics collection for Bluesky and Mastodon (GH-291). Round 3 built notification channel preferences (GH-307), an admin tool to reset user onboarding (GH-317), and a pre-onboarding invite email from Maya (GH-319). Round 4 implemented the feedback signals table with full UI instrumentation — vote, bookmark, dismiss, and edit signals now logged to a dedicated table for future flywheel analysis (GH-264).

Engine pipeline overhaul. Replaced the three separate scheduler crons (RSS scan every 6h, Google search daily 07:00, idea generation daily 08:00) with a single daily.pipeline orchestrator that runs the full intake-to-briefing flow sequentially: RSS scan, Google search scan, then briefing.generate which auto-selects top articles by min_relevance_score from workspace settings and auto-chains idea.generate. Also killed the broken monitor.check_content cron that had no handler — it was silently failing every day.

Production bug fixes discovered via Stacy testing. The workspace switcher silently failed when switching (server action threw but client had no try-catch) — fixed by returning result objects and adding toast notifications. The team settings page showed truncated UUIDs instead of emails for non-current users because it only fetched email for the current user — fixed by using the admin client to fetch all member emails from auth.users. Feed discovery failed because the scan_logs_scanner_type_check constraint didn’t include 'feed_discovery' — the GH-287 grinder had created the handler but missed the DB constraint. Fixed with a migration.

User presence tracking. Built a login notification system: web app fires a server action on mount, deduplicates via activity_logs (2hr cooldown), then inserts an admin.notify_login command. Engine handler picks it up and emails Paul via Brevo. No Discord code in authexis — uses existing notification infrastructure.

Earlier in the day (prior session): shipped Maya identity centralization (GH-300), interaction style preferences (GH-298), content type icons/colors (GH-295), onboarding bootstrap auto-generation (GH-309), global BCC monitoring, onboarding wizard pre-population from website data, Stripe build fix (GH-314), deploy alert workflow (GH-313), and several content action refinements (GH-288, GH-289, GH-290).

• GH-319 — Pre-onboarding invite email from Maya
• Plus: workspace switcher fix, team page emails fix, feed discovery constraint fix, daily pipeline orchestrator, presence tracking, global BCC, onboarding wizard pre-population, content action refinements (GH-288, GH-289, GH-290)

Carry-over

• GH-302, GH-303, GH-304 — LinkedIn, Threads, and historical metrics (Phase 2, depends on GH-291 which shipped today)
• GH-305 — Verify cold inbound email to Maya (manual test needed)
• GH-315 — Harden workspace switcher (loading states, validation)
• GH-316 — Error boundaries on server action calls (audit)
• GH-318 — Welcome email copy assumes wizard completed (edge case for re-onboarding)
• GH-320 — Team page email N+1 query optimization
• GH-326 — Add last login to admin users page

Risks

• Production database shared with dev — the Stacy onboarding reset and manual command inserts were done directly on prod data. No issues, but worth noting.

Flags and watch-outs

• DISCORD_PAULOS_WEBHOOK is not configured anywhere yet — paulos Discord notifications silently skip. Not blocking, but login presence notifications won’t reach Discord until this is set up.
• The daily pipeline runs at 07:00 UTC. If a workspace has no feeds or search terms, the pipeline still runs but scans return empty. No harm, but wasted cycles.
• ADMIN_NOTIFY_EMAIL env var not explicitly set on Railway — falls back to EMAIL_BCC which is [email protected]. Works fine, but should be explicit if the BCC ever changes.

Next session

• Test the daily pipeline end-to-end: manually queue a daily.pipeline command for Stacy’s workspace and verify the full flow (scan → articles → briefing → ideas)
• GH-305: Verify cold inbound email to Maya — send a test email to [email protected] from an external address
• Grind the remaining Web app milestone issues: GH-302 (LinkedIn analytics), GH-303 (Threads analytics), GH-304 (historical metrics)
• GH-326: Add last login timestamp to admin users page — now trivially possible since activity_logs tracks session_start
• Consider wiring up DISCORD_PAULOS_WEBHOOK so login pings also reach Discord alongside email
• Web app milestone is at 93.5% — a few more grind rounds should close it out
