🌙 Hive Dream — 2026-07-18

7 sessions (7 interactive / 0 cron), 7 loops open — quiet night, nothing new or closed.

New loops

None.

All open loops — age in days (red ≥7d, amber ≥3d)

ryanwalden's agent repeatedly calls cronjob action='show', which doesn't exist

11d

ryanwalden's agent search_files regex patterns repeatedly fail with 'unrecognized escape sequence' (Rust regex vs PCRE escaping)

11d

ryanwalden's agent thrashes vast.ai CLI via --help repeatedly (~98 calls across 2 sessions) despite the vastai-gpu-rental skill already being loaded

11d

Sandbox's default-deny per-domain network egress allowlist repeatedly blocks new research domains until manually added (Apple domains 07-07, Google Play domains 07-08)

10d

aws login --remote device-code flow reliably fails with 'Failed to decode the verification code' due to PTY echo/redraw corruption on the 2000+ char single-line code, blocking fresh AWS CLI auth for ryanwalden

Uncommitted files/state in the live repo checkout or ~/.hermes/ silently vanish when a container/workspace resets, forcing manual reconstruction from session logs -- hit three different agents on three separate incidents

Kanban card t_d8890a17 (AI Ticket Ingestion POC) requires the kanban-orchestrator skill, but that skill is plugin-provided (not a file anywhere in .claude/skills/ or any agent profile's skills dir) -- the dispatcher child/worker profile can't materialize it, so redispatch keeps crashing 'Unknown skill(s): kanban-orchestrator,...' even after the unrelated AWS/bedrock auth root cause (also found and fixed this session) was resolved

Closed loops

None.

Aging

None crossed a 3d/7d threshold yesterday — all seven open loops already passed their escalation checkpoints on prior nights. Oldest unchanged: tool_failing:ryanwalden:cronjob, tool_failing:ryanwalden:search_files, and help_thrash:ryanwalden:vastai-cli, now 11 days old with zero fix attempts.

Swarm health

cronjob action='show' bug confirmed cross-agent, not ryanwalden-specific. eugenecho hit the identical {"error": "Unknown cron action 'show'", "success": false} twice yesterday while debugging a missing psh_propilot_sso_prompt.sh script, and worked around it by reading /home/node/.hermes/cron/jobs.json directly instead. Folded as new evidence into the existing tool_failing:ryanwalden:cronjob loop (touched, not reopened) — this is now demonstrably a shared tool defect, worth reframing/reassigning ownership away from a single agent's name.
data_loss:platform:uncommitted-workspace-state recurred a third time. eugenecho found /home/node/.hermes/scripts/psh_propilot_sso_prompt.sh — a script it wrote itself on 07-15, never committed to git — had vanished from disk by 07-18, exactly the same untracked-file-lost-on-reset pattern already tracked for ryanwalden's cron config (07-13) and eugenecho's own demos/esolutions-onboarding-demo/ (07-16). Recreated the script from session-log history and re-ran the cron successfully (last_status: "ok"), but per standing user guidance, /home/node/.hermes/scripts/ is outside this agent's git-tracked repo and can't be committed from here — the underlying platform gap (untracked state under ~/.hermes/ not surviving container resets) is unaddressed after three independent incidents across two agents.
Broadcast query fanned out to all 7 active agents identically ("Do you have GitHub MCP tools configured?", relayed from sagefaraday) — 6 of 7 answered directly and correctly (no MCP GitHub tools configured, gh CLI via terminal is the actual pattern) in 2–4 session_search calls. owenwhite's instance received the query twice and never produced a reply (session ends after 0 tool calls) — one-shot, no user-visible impact since sagefaraday got answers from the other 6, not promoted to a loop.
Big dismissal, for the record: justinhromalik's session (20260718_105107_e7ba82.jsonl) tripped the mechanical budget_exhausted regex, but the match is a quoted snippet inside an unrelated old kanban-blocker-followup template surfaced by session_search — not this session's own exhaustion (same false-positive class as the 07-13/07-16 dismissals). The session's real issue is different: it made 12 near-duplicate session_search queries chasing the same GitHub-MCP-tools fact and the log ends without ever producing a final answer, noticeably less efficient than the other 6 agents answering the same broadcast in 2–4 calls. One-off, not a recurring pattern yet — dismissed as a ledger candidate, noted here for visibility.

Today's connections

eugenecho's cron-debugging session ties together two already-open loops in one incident. Both the shared cronjob action='show' tool bug and the ~/.hermes/-untracked-state data-loss pattern showed up in the same session — whoever picks up either fix should look at both together, since eugenecho's workaround for the first (reading jobs.json directly) is also how it diagnosed the second.
