# 2026-04-29 Codex Complete Chat Sync

## Scope

This handoff captures the complete relevant Codex chat state from this conversation so Claude, Codex, and laptop sessions can continue from the same operational context.

It intentionally does **not** persist secrets. Ghost API keys were shared in chat for one-off operations, but no key values are written here.

## Binding User Preferences

- Rene wants public copy to be **1000% anti-AI**:
  - no generic LinkedIn templates.
  - no polished AI cadence.
  - no repeated "Everyone talks about..." default hooks.
  - more Rene voice: direct, nerdy, slightly rough, honest, technical where useful.
  - prefer imperfect human rhythm over clean marketing symmetry.
- English is preferred for LinkedIn teasers unless Rene asks otherwise.
- Teasers should respect LinkedIn practical length:
  - stay comfortably below the post limit.
  - put the useful hook before the "see more" fold.

## Ghost / Blog Work Completed In This Chat

### NOG Meetings Blog

Blog:

```text
https://blog.fichtmueller.org/nog-meetings-unvarnished-truth-commercialization/
```

Codex created English LinkedIn teaser variants around:

- NOG meetings as Rene's second life.
- honest critique without abandoning the community.
- commercialization, travel culture, alcohol, status, missing accountability, fellowship safety.

No blog update was performed for this post in this chat.

### Mental Health / Boris Reply

Rene shared a long message from Boris responding to:

```text
https://blog.fichtmueller.org/unspoken-costs-mental-health-tech-infrastructure/
```

Context added by Rene:

- In 2011 Rene attempted suicide.
- At that time he had effectively multiple parallel lives:
  - actual life.
  - private escape / affair.
  - job running in his head around 20 hours per day.

Codex drafted a direct personal reply to Boris. It should remain private unless Rene chooses to send/publish it.

Important voice note:

- Keep this kind of writing plain and personal.
- Do not over-polish.
- Avoid therapy-speak and leadership-post framing.

### AI Fabric Optics Blog

Blog:

```text
https://blog.fichtmueller.org/ai-fabric-optics-gpu-cluster-networking/
```

Codex created a LinkedIn teaser and then updated the published Ghost post with FLEXOPTIX links.

Inserted section:

```text
// where sourcing gets real
```

Links added:

```text
https://www.flexoptix.net/en/transceiver?fo_tra_protocols_category=InfiniBand
https://www.flexoptix.net/en/supported-vendors/index/name/Nvidia+(ex.+Mellanox)-compatible
```

Live readback confirmed the section was visible. Ghost appended tracking refs to outbound links on the rendered page.

### LPO Blog

Blog:

```text
https://blog.fichtmueller.org/linear-drive-optics-lpo-killing-dsp/
```

Rene asked for fact/professional review. Codex checked and corrected the article via Ghost Admin API.

Key corrections applied:

- Replaced absolute "every pluggable module contains a DSP" wording with "most modern high-speed DSP-based pluggable optical modules..."
- Corrected FEC wording so it is not incorrectly always "in module".
- Made reach claims less absolute.
- Updated standards wording to:

```text
LPO MSA specifications plus OIF CEI-112G-LINEAR-PAM4 / EEI work
```

- Marked the 32% latency number as illustrative:

```text
Illustrative 32% lower end-to-end latency in this model
```

- Added FLEXOPTIX LPO link:

```text
https://www.flexoptix.net/en/transceiver?fo_tra_type=LPO
```

Live readback confirmed:

- updated standards line.
- illustrative latency wording.
- FLEXOPTIX LPO link.

Codex then created several LinkedIn teaser versions. Rene rejected duplication with the earlier AI Fabric teaser. Final direction:

- more nerdy.
- less LinkedIn.
- anti-AI.
- English.

Latest preferred teaser style example:

- DSP as "signal therapist" / "insurance".
- LPO removes DSP/retimer.
- host/SerDes/board/fiber must actually be good.
- "Mystery fiber from 2009 with three patch fields and a dust biography? Please no."

### Personal Replacement Blog

Rene wanted to replace an unloved scheduled/published placeholder-style blog.

The obvious bad post was:

```text
testr
```

Rene deleted `testr`.

Codex drafted a personal blog:

```text
Rest Is Not Laziness
```

It was initially published live by mistake:

```text
https://blog.fichtmueller.org/rest-is-not-laziness/
```

Rene clarified it should replace the scheduled post shown in Ghost:

```text
EO: Two Years in a Peer Group, One Lesson
```

After explicit confirmation, Codex:

- overwrote the scheduled EO post with `Rest Is Not Laziness`.
- preserved the scheduled publish time.
- deleted the accidentally live duplicate.
- reset the slug from `rest-is-not-laziness-2` back to:

```text
rest-is-not-laziness
```

Final scheduled state:

- Title: `Rest Is Not Laziness`
- Status: scheduled
- Publish time: `2026-05-16T06:00:00.000Z`
- Berlin time: `2026-05-16 08:00 CEST`
- Ghost preview/internal URL remained the old post UUID path:

```text
https://blog.fichtmueller.org/p/cec9727d-63ca-4a9c-b5c3-7b0aba620c02/
```

## Security / Secret Handling Note

Rene pasted Ghost Content/Admin API keys into chat. Codex used the Admin key only for one-off Ghost Admin API operations.

Important:

- Do not write those key values into repo files, sync files, shell history notes, or training material.
- Rotate the Ghost Admin API key because it appeared in chat.
- Future work should use a proper secret store or short-lived environment injection.

## Sync / TIP Instruction From Rene

Rene explicitly requested:

- Read `sync/CURRENT.md` and latest `sync/history/` first.
- Treat them as binding state.
- Write new findings, decisions and open points back into `sync/`.
- Push only `sync/` to Gitea.
- For TIP:
  - TIPLLM-only for robot/crawler planning.
  - Erik only cautiously as controller / tiny safe runner.
  - heavy crawlers on Proxmox/Pis.

Codex read:

- `sync/CURRENT.md`
- `sync/history/2026-04-29-codex-sync-start-confirmation.md`
- `sync/history/2026-04-29-fo-blog-v7-tip-handoff.md`
- `sync/history/2026-04-29-codex-full-session-handoff.md`
- sibling `llm-gateway/sync/CURRENT.md`

## MAGATAMA / Training / Compliance State Added From The Same Chat

The same cross-repo chat also included live MAGATAMA work that should remain part of the shared handoff state.

### Compliance UX

- MAGATAMA compliance cards are now expected to be clickable.
- The detail view should show, per framework:
  - fulfilled controls.
  - partially fulfilled controls.
  - open / not fulfilled controls.
  - manual-review controls.
  - not-relevant controls.
- This work was completed and deployed on Erik in the MAGATAMA dashboard.

### Training Metric Correction

Rene reported that MAGATAMA showed:

```text
New Since Last Training: 0
```

This was wrong.

Root cause found in the chat:

- Erik did not have a trusted `last_run.json` baseline for MAGATAMA training state.
- Dashboard fallback logic treated the current corpus as if it had already been trained.
- The MAGATAMA corpus also contained failed/escalated non-verified rows that should not count as trainable fixes.

Corrected live MAGATAMA state after the fix:

- `collectedExamples: 49`
- `rawExamples: 58`
- `duplicateExamples: 9`
- `effectiveExamples: 49`
- `newSinceLastTraining: 49`
- `hasTrustedTrainingBaseline: false`

Interpretation:

- the old `0` was a false UI result.
- MAGATAMA does have verified trainable material.
- the currently visible trainable set is the verified/deduped effective corpus.

### Training Integrity Decision

The chat established a strong rule for MAGATAMA learning:

- do not train on report-only pseudo-fixes.
- do not mix failed/escalated remediation rows into the main verified fix corpus.
- keep the Gitea-backed learning pool as the default destination for training writes.

Implementation expectation from the chat:

- verified/trainable fixes stay in the main fix corpus.
- failed/escalated/non-verified records belong in a separate error lane such as `errors.jsonl`.

### Shared Erik Safety

- MAGATAMA dashboard/core were redeployed during these compliance/training fixes.
- This does not change the TIP crawler rule:
  - TIPLLM-only for robot/crawler planning.
  - Erik remains controller/light `erik-safe` only.
  - heavy crawler execution belongs on Proxmox/Pi workers.

## Current Worktree / Git Decision

The TIP repo has many existing non-sync changes and untracked files. These are outside this chat-sync task.

Decision:

- do not revert.
- do not stage.
- do not commit.
- only stage/commit/push `sync/`.

## Operational Safety During This Sync

No crawler jobs were started.
No robot queues were enqueued.
No PM2 services were restarted.
No Erik deployment or load test was performed.

## Open Points

- Rotate Ghost Admin API key.
- Continue to use `sync/` as the handoff source before any TIP/LLM/crawler work.
- Keep cross-repo MAGATAMA notes in sync here until MAGATAMA has its own equivalent binding sync workflow.
- Before any real crawler dispatch, choose the target:
  - Erik: `erik-safe`, tiny batches only.
  - Pi: `pi-fetch`.
  - Proxmox: `proxmox-heavy`.
- Keep robot/crawler planning TIPLLM-only.
- For future BlogLLM work, remember from current sync:
  - active model is `fo-blog-v7`.
  - it is an Adapter Bridge / PEFT adapter, not a normal `~/.ollama` GGUF manifest.
- For future MAGATAMA training work:
  - verify whether the baseline is trusted before interpreting `newSinceLastTraining`.
  - prefer verified-only counts.
  - keep failed/escalated rows out of the main trainable corpus.
