+### TheNicheQuiz Rebuild (FULLY WORKING)
+- **9:00 PM** — Jake asked to make thenichequiz.com work for health insurance niches
+- Original Flask app source was LOST (never committed to git, only Worker was committed)
+- Rebuilt from scratch: Flask + PostgreSQL + Gemini API + Nano Banana Pro images
+- **Issues encountered & fixed:**
+  1. Jinja2 `|safe` filter missing — HTML rendered as raw text
+  2. DB `campaigns.name` NOT NULL constraint — code wasn't inserting name
+  3. Quick tunnels dying constantly — switched to permanent named tunnel
+  4. Gunicorn OOM crashes — `uv run` subprocesses killing workers. Rewrote image gen to use Gemini API directly in-process
+  5. Wrong Gemini model name — `gemini-2.0-flash-exp` doesn't do images, need `gemini-3-pro-image-preview`
+- **Final architecture:**
+  - Flask dev server on port 8877
+  - Permanent Cloudflare named tunnel: `niche-quiz` (ID: 392e9aee-708b-4b80-b9cd-7c39c013bf79)
+  - DNS: thenichequiz.com → cfargotunnel.com (no Worker proxy needed)
+  - Worker routes DELETED — named tunnel handles routing
+  - Image gen: async background threads, one at a time, ~18s per image
+  - All 8 segments focused on healthy self-employed people overpaying for insurance
+  - Emotionally-charged ad copy prompts (pride, frustration, independence, relief)
+- **Lessons logged:** #43 (never use quick tunnels for production), Jinja2 safe filter, image gen OOM prevention

+## End of Day Summary — Feb 15, 2026
+
+### What We Accomplished (MASSIVE day)
+1. **Computer Use unlocked** — sudo NOPASSWD, Peekaboo full permissions, screen recording + accessibility for Node
+2. **5 Upwork applications** submitted autonomously via browser automation (zero screenshots, all DOM snapshots)
+3. **FIRST MEETING BOOKED** — Robert Hartline / CallProof, Nashville whale ($164K spent on Upwork)
+4. **Upwork profile fully optimized** — rate, title, bio, 14 skills, 5 portfolio items
+5. **Portfolio permanently deployed** — https://portfolio.mcpengage.com via Cloudflare Workers
+6. **Upwork Discord pipeline** — full 6-phase tracking system with hourly cron
+7. **upwork-jobs skill created** — reusable autonomous application workflow
+8. **TheNicheQuiz fully rebuilt** from scratch — Flask + PostgreSQL + Gemini, live on permanent tunnel
+9. **Bot-Talk community** — collaborated with Milo + Buddy, shared memory systems, got SEO masterclass
+10. **85-project inventory** compiled — awaiting Jake's categorization review
+11. **Anthropic OAuth token fixed** — valid until 2027
+12. **Anti-compaction protocol** added to AGENTS.md after memory wipe
+
+### Decisions Made
+- Upwork rate: $95/hr (down from $500/hr)
+- Portfolio hosting: Cloudflare Workers > GitHub Pages (no GitHub auth dependency)
+- NicheQuiz: permanent named tunnel > quick tunnels (reliability)
+- Image gen: in-process Gemini API > subprocess uv run (OOM prevention)
+- GitHub account issue: Jake said stop working on it for now
+
+### Next Steps (Monday Feb 16)
+- [ ] Categorize + rank 85 projects by impressiveness (#ai-tech-research)
+- [ ] Follow up on Robert Hartline / CallProof meeting
+- [ ] Fix Upwork login (Brave restart logged out)
+- [ ] Re-ping dec-004 for pipeline Stage 19 MCPs
+- [ ] Implement Buddy's SEO suggestions (FAQ JSON-LD, hub page, GitHub README backlinks)
+- [ ] Fix GitHub account flagging (submit support ticket when password is sorted)
+- [ ] Check if Mac mini mouse is still frozen / BlueBubbles status
+
+### Context Future-Me Needs
+- **GitHub is broken** — BusyBee3333 account flagged, can't push workspace. Password in 1Password is wrong. Email is jake@burtonmethod.com.
+- **Upwork session died** — Brave restart killed cookies. Need to re-login before next proposal.
+- **Robert Hartline** — this is our FIRST real Upwork lead. Follow up is critical. Nashville, CallProof, $164K client spend, 4.99 rating.
+- **Connects:** 104 remaining. Cost ~$0.16 each. Buy more as needed.
+- **Jake's vision:** 2-year freedom plan, learning stream tech is the big play. Everything we build should ladder up to this.
+- **Compaction happened today** — memory was wiped mid-session. Anti-compaction protocol now in AGENTS.md. SAVE OFTEN.
+- **Buddy (Eric's bot)** gave us genuinely good SEO advice. Implement the FAQ JSON-LD schema across all 70 landing pages — it's the highest ROI move.

+- The quiet anger of subsidizing everyone else's healthcare
+- The pride of being self-made and deserving better
+- The "wait, there's actually an option for people like ME?" moment
+- The fear they try not to think about — what if something DID happen?
+- The relief of finally finding someone who gets their situation
+- The injustice of the system punishing healthy independent people
+
+RULES:
+- Headlines: Under 40 chars. Punchy. Personal. Make them stop scrolling.
+- Body: 2-3 sentences. Conversational. Like a friend who GETS IT telling them about a better way. NOT corporate. NOT salesy. Real talk.
+- Every campaign must feel like it was written specifically for THIS micro-niche
+- CMS/state compliant — no guaranteed savings amounts, no specific pricing without qualification
+- Mix formats: Single Image, Carousel, Video, Story, Reel
+- Mix objectives: Lead Gen, Traffic, Conversions, Awareness
+- Targeting: 3-4 hyper-specific criteria per campaign
+- Include an "image_prompt" for each: a description of what the ad image should show (lifestyle-focused, NOT generic healthcare imagery — real people, real moments, specific to the niche)
