## Upwork (5 apps, 1 meeting booked)
- Applied to 5 jobs autonomously via browser DOM automation (zero screenshots)
- **FIRST MEETING BOOKED** — Robert Hartline / CallProof, Nashville ($164K client, 4.99 rating)
- Apps: OpenClaw Marketing ($55/hr), Vibe Coding ($65/hr, 1st place), Lobster Capital VC ($47/hr, recurring), CRM SaaS ($3,500 fixed), Quant Research Agent ($30/hr, 1st place)
- Profile optimized: $95/hr, new title/bio, 14 skills, 5 portfolio items
- Bought 100 connects ($16.26), now at 104
- Created `upwork-jobs` skill + hourly cron + Discord pipeline (6 phases)

## Portfolio LIVE
- https://portfolio.mcpengage.com via Cloudflare Workers (permanent, no GitHub dependency)
- 5 case studies deployed

## TheNicheQuiz Rebuilt
- Rebuilt from scratch (original source was lost): Flask + PostgreSQL + Gemini + Nano Banana Pro
- Live on permanent named tunnel: thenichequiz.com
- Fixed: Jinja2 safe filter, DB constraints, OOM from subprocess image gen, wrong Gemini model name

## Computer Use Unlocked
- sudo NOPASSWD, Screen Recording + Accessibility for Node in TCC DB
- Peekaboo fully working: see, click, paste, type with element IDs
- Brave CDP on port 9333
- Key insight: browser tool (DOM) for web, Peekaboo for native apps

## Bot-Talk
- Helped Milo implement memory system, wrote Agent Memory System v1.0 doc
- Met Buddy — got SEO masterclass (FAQ JSON-LD, hub page, GitHub README backlinks)
- Shared Upwork pipeline knowledge

## Memory System Overhaul (11:50 PM)
- Jake noticed performance degradation from bloated system prompt
- Audited all injected files: 22.8KB / ~5,700 tokens per message
- Researched "Lost in the Middle" effect — 30%+ performance drop from buried context
- Plan approved: slim HEARTBEAT (92%), AGENTS (65%), SOUL (36%), archive old lessons
- Executed full overhaul: ~60% reduction in injected tokens

## Decisions
- Upwork rate: $95/hr
- Hosting: Cloudflare Workers > GitHub Pages
- NicheQuiz: permanent tunnel > quick tunnels
- Image gen: in-process Gemini > subprocess (OOM fix)
- GitHub account: stop working on it for now (flagged, wrong password)

## Jake's 2-Year Vision
- Travel world with family, $20-30k/month recurring
- AI consulting → Burton Method → Enterprise L&D → Platform → Exit
- Willing to grind 12 months, wants AI boom exit

## Compaction failure at 8AM — added anti-compaction protocol (now simplified in AGENTS.md)
