Same machine, different workspace. Something workspace-specific about psb-thinking's index. **Topher says there's a small GPU in media.** Investigate this — might not need to wait for P102-100. ## Mistake Logged (2026-04-10 01:39 UTC) - Dismissed Topher's concern about node-llama-cpp when he raised it - Should have traced the Pi→media difference immediately instead of going down GPU research rabbit hole - Realized at 01:39 UTC: Pi had node-llama-cpp installed, Media doesn't have it working ## Pending - [ ] Investigate "small GPU in media" — Topher mentioned this at 01:55 UTC - [ ] Try reinstalling OpenClaw to rebuild node-llama-cpp native module - [ ] psb-hacker-claude works with embeddings — why not psb-thinking? Same Ollama provider... ## Pi SESSION-STATE.md Pulled (02:50 UTC) - Pre-migration session state from Pi (Apr 8 21:36 UTC) - Contains: SSD health (NVMe 500GB WD, 100% remaining, 0% wear), dreaming investigation notes, multi-agent setup - Not merged into current SESSION-STATE.md (kept separate per Topher's guidance — pre-OpenClaw info) - Key: dreaming investigation on Pi showed memory-core wasn't writing DREAMS.md files — same issue on media ## Dreaming Failure Pattern (Apr 8) - memory-core internal sweep fires at 3 AM but fails to write DREAMS.md to workspace - Aggregate script at 4 AM finds nothing (0 agents dreaming) - Possible cause: filesystem permission or path issue in memory/.dreams/ - When dreaming fixed tonight, check if DREAMS.md actually gets written ## Heartbeat Note (03:25 UTC) - Dreaming fired at 02:54 UTC — wrote to memory/.dreams/events.jsonl and short-term-recall.json - DREAMS.md at workspace root still NOT created (consistent with past pattern) - memory/.dreams/ now exists — dreaming is partially working - A different session was active today (91-line memory/2026-04-10.md entry) — someone had an active session ``` ## Notes ## Related - No related pages yet.
