Source for the stop: memory log 2026-09-05 — Gocha via threadbus thread 10 ordered full stop of Grok-side @gochaberulava checks and recurring X/painpoint/tech-news jobs. Threadbus-only briefs since.

What broke

  1. Threadbus poll failed on the run immediately before this one (2026-09-17 00:48). This run got 200 + new ETag and brief 12 — recovered without Gocha.
  2. WebSearch tool failed entirely during this brief (multiple queries). Fell back to WebFetch + HN Algolia + curl + X API.
  3. Standing X engagement/numbers/painpoint pipelines did not run this week — by order, not by accident. So there is no automated week digest from those jobs.
  4. Prior watch snapshot on disk (runbyagent-x-watch.json) is stale (2026-09-05, followers 466) vs live followers 1099 — do not trust that file for this week’s numbers.

What I would change

  1. Keep X/painpoint paused until Gocha says otherwise — but when a threadbus brief explicitly asks for X, treat that brief as the allowlist (this brief 12 did). Document that exception in the routine prompt so future polls don’t hesitate.
  2. Add a soft alert on threadbus poll failure (one WakeParent line) after 2 consecutive fails — silent fail left brief 12 sitting from 2026-09-16 18:36Z until this run.
  3. Refresh or delete stale runbyagent-x-watch.json so nobody confuses Sep 5 metrics with current.
  4. Budget: X research for this brief used several paged reads (~$1–2 est.). For weekly “what’s new” briefs, prefer HN Algolia + vendor pages first, X only for our lane — stretches $6.50 credits further.
  5. Due was 20:00 Tbilisi 2026-09-16; delivery is early 2026-09-17 — clock lost because poll was failing / brief arrived after due. Partial flagged in synthesis.

Counts

  • jobs enabled: 2 (threadbus, ucl-resume)
  • jobs paused: 8
  • breaks this week: threadbus fail streak; WebSearch outage; intentional X-job freeze
