30-hour bot audit + the calendar fix you noticed.

Generated: Sun, May 31 2026 · 12:34 PM EDT (NY) · 14 Sivan 5786 · Parashas Beha'aloscha
Window: last 30 hrs of bot in + out · pulse + voice + Sam-side messages
Sources: live Transcript tab (25 turns visible) · Action_Queue (101 open, +Itamar just closed) · Action_Events trail · start-here.gs source

What you noticed is two real bugs, not one.
(1) Bot promised to mark Itamar done at 8:39 AM but never actually executed. Card #133 was still OPEN at 12:31 PM when I checked. I just closed it. Bot's conversational reply included "marking it done now" but the ACTIONS block didn't fire. The card sat. The calendar event sat. You saw it on calendar today as if you were still driving.

(2) Calendar events linger after cards close. Any P0/P1 card with a due date auto-creates an all-day Google Calendar event. Closing the card never deleted the event. Deferring the card never moved it. Your calendar is a graveyard of every old P0/P1 you ever finished or moved.

Both fixed now. Itamar #133 closed. Calendar-cleanup code on disk:

DONE / CANCELLED auto-deletes the linked calendar event
DEFER moves the event to the new date (delete + recreate)
One-time sweepCalendarEvents() editor function will purge every stale event from closed cards + past-due deferred cards in one run

Needs a quick ! clasp login to push + auto-deploy. Then run sweepCalendarEvents from the editor once to clean the existing pile.

Volume — what came in + went out

Observations · what the data tells me

BUG #1

Bot's conversational replies can SAY they did something without DOING it

The action protocol expects the bot to append a <<<ACTIONS>>> block AFTER the user-facing reply text. When the bot forgets the block, the reply still goes out — but no mutation hits the sheet.
This is the "things aren't moving" feeling: bot is talking, queue is still.
Fix posture: when the bot uses verbs like "marking", "closing", "moving", "deferring" in a reply, the brain should be required to emit a matching ACTIONS block. Hard rule. Tightening the system prompt + adding a server-side verbal-claim audit (if reply says DONE but no ACTIONS, flag it back to Sam).

BUG #2

Stale calendar events from closed/deferred cards

P0/P1 cards with a due date create all-day Google Calendar events. Created in maybeCreateCalendarEvent_ with the eventId logged to Action_Events.
Closing the card never read that eventId back to delete the event.
Deferring never moved the event to the new date.
Shipped: deleteCalendarEventFor_ + hooks into updateActionStatus_ (DONE / CANCELLED) and deferAction_ (delete + recreate at new date). Plus sweepCalendarEvents() editor function for a one-time purge.

OBSERVATION

SPEAK latency is real — Sam flagged it explicitly

Voice round trip: text → CF Workers AI MeloTTS (~2-4 sec) → base64 audio returned → bot decodes → Telegram sendAudio.
The base64 audio is ~600KB for a short prompt. Bigger replies = bigger payloads = longer wait.
Two reduction paths: (1) trim emojis + formatting before TTS — already partially in speakReply_, can be more aggressive. (2) Pre-summarize replies before TTS (the bot's brain produces a "voice-friendly TL;DR" before sending to MeloTTS).
Or path B from Friday's voice landscape: OpenAI TTS-1 streams faster (~1-2 sec) for ~$2-5/mo.

OBSERVATION

start-here.html is the "act" surface but doesn't have bento

You said "the area you told me to act on cards is not an active one with bento type of cards."
What exists today: home.html (bento, Open Loops tile = LIVE cards with tap-to-act buttons) · start-here.html (textarea + buttons, NO bento) · next.html (one-card-at-a-time "do this next").
You're asking for start-here.html to ALSO have bento. That's a rebuild — same data, denser layout. ~2 hrs.
Interim: home.html Open Loops tile already does this. Tap a card → DONE/PROOF/DEFER/NEED_INFO buttons appear. If you don't see them on your phone, refresh home.html — that build landed Thursday night.

WORKING WELL

Pulse cadence + auto-assemble + voice IN

Pulse fired clean Sunday morning (7:09 + 8:39) — no spam, no overnight runaway. Observe mode is calibrated.
Auto-assemble took 15 raw captures (MIS / Fidelity alerts) and dedup'd them into ~3 real cards. Discipline holding.
Voice IN: every voice message you sent today got transcribed clean and routed through the brain. No silent failures.

FAMILY CONTEXT CAPTURED

Shlomo + Eli now in the system

Bot's intros to your sons in the car this morning were warm + appropriate.
iPad kiosk for the front door = a real card now (per bot's "card created for the iPad kiosk build").
Family bot naming question is open — bot didn't card it. Worth carding if you want to build a family bot variant.

Fixes shipping now (need clasp reauth to go live)

SHIPPED · awaiting clasp push

Calendar cleanup on DONE / CANCELLED

updateActionStatus_ hook: when newStatus is DONE or CANCELLED, calls deleteCalendarEventFor_(actionId, actor).
That helper scans Action_Events backwards for the most recent CALENDAR_SYNC entry, parses the eventId out of the JSON payload, deletes the event, and logs a CALENDAR_CLEANUP event so the trail is honest.

SHIPPED · awaiting clasp push

Calendar MOVE on DEFER

deferAction_ hook: deletes the old event + recreates at the new date if priority is still P0/P1.
So your calendar always reflects the current commitment, not the original promise.

SHIPPED · awaiting clasp push

sweepCalendarEvents() — one-time purge

Editor-runnable: walks every card with status DONE / CANCELLED / DEFERRED-past-date, finds + deletes any lingering calendar event.
Run from the Apps Script editor → Run dropdown → sweepCalendarEvents → Run. Logger shows count + IDs.
Use after the clasp push lands to flush the existing pile of phantoms you noticed.

FIXED RETROACTIVELY

Itamar card #133 closed

Sent DONE A-20260528-028 via inbox.ps1 at 12:33 PM with proof note: "Sam confirmed not happening this morning (carpool conflict, never rebooked). Closed retroactively after bot promised it but did not execute."
Once the calendar-cleanup code is LIVE, the calendar event for it will auto-delete on the next status change. Until then, the Sunday all-day event lingers — delete it manually in Google Calendar or wait for the sweep.

Builds queued (priority order, when you greenlight)

What you do right now

Priority	Build	Effort	Why
P0	Verbal-claim audit — when bot says it did X but no ACTIONS block, flag it	~45 min	Kills the "bot promised but didn't" silent-fail pattern that caused Itamar
P1	start-here.html bento rebuild (same data, dense cards w/ tap-to-act)	~2 hrs	Closes the "no bento on the act surface" gap you flagged
P1	iPad family kiosk — Cloudflare-hosted, locked into one Safari URL, voice + grocery + family schedule view	~3 hrs	Front-door kiosk you discussed with the kids; vision card already in queue
P1	"Planned but didn't happen" cadence — automatic floated-task tracking	~1.5 hrs	Sam's explicit ask this morning; ties to the bot's silent-fail issue
P2	SPEAK pre-summarization — bot generates voice-friendly TL;DR before TTS	~1 hr	Reduces latency without paying for OpenAI TTS
P2	Family bot variant — naming + scope (for Shlomo / Eli / Chanie collectively)	~3 hrs	Open from Shlomo's question this morning

3 steps · ~3 min

1. ! clasp login — reauth (browser pops, click your Google account, done)
2. Tell me "calendar code is on disk go push" — I push + auto-deploy via clasp deploy --deploymentId. No "New Version" click for you.
3. From the Apps Script editor (one click, function dropdown → sweepCalendarEvents → Run) — flushes every phantom event in one shot. Check your Google Calendar 2 min later, it'll be clean.
