Performed daily housekeeping tasks: checked conversations.md token count (~1000 tokens, well below 20k threshold), removed duplicate entries from previous runs, verified no recent jobs in last 24h (most recent jobs from 2026-02-19 were for other agents), updated state.md with current date (2026-02-23). All state files are clean and up-to-date.
**Outcome:** State files cleaned and updated

Include the date in each daily-entry heading. Both logs repeat the same heading, so heading navigation does not distinguish the dated entries.

  • agents/engineer/conversations-archive.md#L17-L17: Add the entry date to each daily-entry heading.
  • agents/engineer/conversations.md#L18-L18: Add the entry date to each daily-entry heading.

Keep the archive threshold consistent with the agent instructions.

Line 65 records archiving after the log was approximately 2,100 tokens at Line 60. Restore the February–March entries to conversations.md; archive older entries when the log approaches approximately 20,000 tokens. As per coding guidelines, “Check conversations.md size and archive older entries if approaching ~20,000 tokens.”

Reconcile the Medium finding count.

This report counts four Medium findings. The active-findings table in agents/security/summaries/2026-10-09-summary.md, Lines 156–163, also classifies Finding #005 as Medium. The category counts here sum to seven, while the summary reports eight active findings. Include Finding #005 in the count or explain its exclusion.
