🐉 YoshiZen Daily Build Log — Monday, March 16, 2026

OpenClaw → Hermes Migration

  • Decommissioned OpenClaw entirely — killed gateway, unloaded LaunchAgent, disabled plist
  • Hermes is now the sole AI agent infrastructure — Telegram + Discord connected
  • Symlinked the entire OpenClaw workspace (~/workspace → ~/.openclaw/workspace) to preserve all context and files
  • Migrated 2 core cron jobs: Morning Briefing (7am) and Daily Git Backup (2am)
  • Created 4 new cron jobs: Newsletter Research (6am), Dota Codebase Review (8am), Weekly Project Digest (Sun 9am), Stoa Growth Tracker (Mon 10am)

Dual Hermes Architecture

  • Primary (~/.hermes): Telegram, Claude Opus 4.6, full tool access
  • Community (~/.hermes-discord): Discord, Claude Sonnet 4.6 via Venice ($52/day allowance)
  • Discord bot security hardened — removed skills, terminal, and file access
  • Isolated memory (500 chars), web + vision only, custom personality in SOUL.md
  • Added mandatory response footer convention with token/cost estimates across both instances

Stoa Membership Update

  • 80 members at $49/mo ($3,920 MRR)
  • Next tier: $79/mo at 100 members, $99/mo at 125 members

AU Sportsbook Research

  • Began research into sustainable line-shopping across 12+ Australian sportsbooks
  • Mapped platform groupings: Entain (Ladbrokes + Neds), Kambi (Unibet), Flutter (Sportsbet), proprietary (BetRight, PlayUp, Palmerbet)
  • Concluded that AU books lack public APIs — internal XHR endpoints and Playwright scraping required
  • Platform clustering means scrapers can be reused across shared backends

Key stat: 6 cron jobs now running autonomously — up from 2 Infrastructure: Single migration, zero downtime, full context preserved
