✅ AFTER RESET - MUST DO

# 1. Copy backup from external storage
rsync -av /Volumes/ExternalDrive/backup-before-reset-* ~/.clawdbot/workspace/

# 2. Run restore script
~/.clawdbot/workspace/restore_after_reset.sh ~/.clawdbot/workspace/backup-before-reset-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS

# 3. Verify
crontab -l                              # Check 6 jobs
launchctl list | grep remix-sniper        # Check service
psql -d remix_sniper -c '\l'            # Check database

🔍 Verification

# Cron jobs (should have 6)
crontab -l

# Launchd (should see remix-sniper)
launchctl list | grep remix-sniper

# Database (should have 4 tables)
psql -d remix_sniper -c "\dt"

# Tracking data (should have JSON files)
ls -la ~/.remix-sniper/tracking/

# Bot running
tail -f ~/projects/remix-sniper/bot.log
