Step 1 โ Progress Since Last Loop (15:33Z)
| Item | 15:33Z | 19:37Z | ฮ |
| K1 (tiktoken) | 246 | 235 | โ11 noise |
| I2 โ Baseline | 99% | 100% | COMPLETE |
| I3 โ Optimization | 91% | 91% | โ |
| I4 โ Practices | 89% | 89% | โ |
| I1 โ Hook | 10% | 10% BLOCKED | โ |
What worked: Format compaction (93โ35 lines), batch reads, search breadth limits all holding stable.
Stalls: I2 stuck at 99% โ 100% now (this loop). I1 blocked 8+ days โ no resolution path within test-agent scope.
Challenges: Cannot edit hermes config.yaml (heartbeat 60โ120min savings blocked); I1 hook escalation unresolved.
Step 2 โ North Star Alignment
North Star: Constantly reduce Hermes token usage
K1 trajectory: 554 โ 235 tiktoken/loop (โ58%). Noise band 217-246. Stable.
Verdict: I2 baseline COMPLETE. I3/I4 stable. I1 is the critical blocker for full NS completion.
Step 4 โ Next Best Actions (NBATDR)
HIGH
Escalate I1 hook to clawy with concrete implementation proposal โ write plugin script clawy can deploy
Unblocks I2โ100%, enables full system-wide instrumentation
MED
Direct in-loop K1 measurement โ bypass token_logger.py overhead (~20 tokens/loop)
~20 tokens/loop saved
LOW
Memory file pruning โ delete loop files older than 72h
~5-10 tokens/loop (glob.glob overhead)
Blockers
โ Heartbeat interval 60โ120min: requires hermes config.yaml edit (outside test-agent scope)
โ I1 global post_api_request hook: outside test-agent scope (8+ days blocked)
