# MIS session — honest review + parallel-session handoff (Jun 29–30, 2026)

**The intent (start of the chapter):** become MIS, get *reliably using MIS* — my read/cockpit on my phone, data fresh, everything behind my own login, an always-on brain. This is the straight accounting of what's REAL vs talked-about, and what each session must finish.

## ✅ REAL & VERIFIED (works, proven end-to-end)
- **Blackout diagnosis** — MIS emails dead since **Jun 1–2** (Gmail-verified); morning-spine ≠ MIS; mis-bridge was 404 (clobber), now back.
- **iPad Schwab re-auth** (`fn=schwabsetup`, keyed) — Sam did it; token verified fresh (0.0d, "Currently authed"). **Working.**
- **Watchdog** (`misV2Heartbeat_` + daily 7:05 AM) — test returned OK **and the alert reached Sam's phone** via `/mis/notify`. **Working.**
- **Size & Protect entry pad** (`fn=sizeprotect`) — renders ATR stop/target/RR/shares for universe names. **Working.**
- **183/186-ticker universe** recovered (`docs/MIS_UNIVERSE.md`). Real.
- **Always-on VM** — Claude Code running 24/7 on DigitalOcean (`100.79.23.85`), reachable via Tailscale. Real (but see "empty" below).
- Beacon, contracts (`MIS_OPSAPI_CONTRACTS.md`), Easy-Auth pattern, camera ticket — real docs, committed.

## ⚠️ BUILT BUT NOT REALLY REAL (don't let these read as "done")
- **The live cockpit** — it's a **shell showing stale Jun-24 data.** Live data needs Brain's `/mis/brief`, which **doesn't exist yet.** So "cockpit's live" = the page loads; the numbers aren't live.
- **The daily MIS brief to the phone** — **STILL not happening.** This was a *central* goal and it is NOT restored. It's the Brain/mis-bridge lane, undeployed. Sam still gets no morning MIS read.
- **"Reliable" data triggers** — re-armed/created, but they **have not fired yet** (first fires 4:20/5:30/6:10 PM today). "Reliable" is **unproven** until tonight's import actually succeeds. Verify tomorrow AM.
- **The VM as the operator brain** — it's an **empty host**: no workspace, no memory, no MCP connections. Not the brain yet — just the engine.
- **"Everything behind my login"** — the auth pages are still **keyed (baked key)**, NOT behind Sam's Google login. Specced for Brain, not done.

## 🚫 TALKED ABOUT, NOT STARTED
- **Off-sheets Schwab-in-Worker** (the slowness fix) — specced only; the lag is NOT fixed.
- **183-ticker scale** — engine still scores ~27; the full universe is gated (Brain deploy-safety + a MIS freeze window).
- **Cameras** — got 5/5 briefly, re-broke (CAM_CF stranded). Camera session's lane.

## 🔑 THE ONE THING THAT UNBLOCKS THE MOST
**Brain's single ops-api deploy** → `mis-bridge` + `/mis/brief` + `/mis/tile`. That ALONE makes the cockpit live **and** delivers the daily brief to Sam's phone. Until it ships, the cockpit is a shell and Sam gets no daily read. **This is THE gap.**

## 📋 Handoff — what each parallel session must do
- **🧠 Brain/#042:** the ops-api deploy — `mis-bridge` + `/mis/brief` (staleness: 30min/last-close/26h) + `/mis/tile` + deploy guard + the portal items; then **CF-Access the keyed auth pages** (schwabsetup/sizeprotect/rearm) so the baked key retires. Needs: Sam's secret values (after HOA). Spec: `docs/MIS_OPSAPI_CONTRACTS.md`. The cockpit auto-upgrades the moment `/mis/brief` is live.
- **📷 Camera session:** re-add `CAM_CF_ID`/`CAM_CF_SECRET` (stranded again) + set go2rtc to auto-start (survives reboot). Ticket: `outputs/2026-06-25_ticket_cameras-brain-infra.md`.
- **🐝 Worker Bee:** the VM host is up but EMPTY; the daily-brief delivery is still the open MIS reliability gap; verify tonight's triggers actually fired.
- **📈 MIS (next session):** verify the re-armed triggers fired + imported (tomorrow AM); do NOT claim "reliable" until proven. Engine freeze still in force.

## The honest one-liner
We built the **reliability + access scaffolding** (self-watch, easy re-auth, entry tool, universe, an always-on host) — real and proven. We did **NOT** yet restore the thing Sam actually feels daily: **a fresh MIS read on his phone + a live cockpit.** That's one Brain deploy away. Don't call MIS "reliably usable" until that lands and tonight's triggers prove out.
