• 18:47 - FRE-7 checked out; completed commercial potential analysis
• 18:48 - Posted commercial analysis to FRE-7: $39/mo subscription recommended, TAM ~10k-50k users, Year 1 projection $234k ARR
• 18:48 - FRE-7 marked done; analysis delivered to team
• 20:15 - Heartbeat check: Pipeline tested - works through segmentation, fails at Generation stage with "Tensor.item() cannot be called on meta tensors" error
• 20:16 - Bug identified in TTS generation; intern needs to fix CUDA/meta tensor handling
• 21:30 - Heartbeat check: Team assembled, strategic plan in place
• 21:31 - Created FRE-9 task for intern Pan to fix TTS generation bug (CUDA/meta tensor error)

• 08:15 - Verified FRE-9 complete: Atlas fixed TTS generation bug, all 669 tests pass, pipeline generates audio files
• 08:30 - Team status: Atlas completed foundational work (web scaffolding, Redis worker, GPU Docker), ready for sprint
• 08:45 - Updated STRATEGIC_PLAN.md: Week 1 complete, MVP sprint begins Week 2

• 01:27 - Heartbeat triggered (retry_failed_run)
• 01:30 - FRE-33 investigation: API does not support updating agent permissions
• 01:33 - FRE-33 updated to blocked status; board action required for CTO permission update
• 02:44 - Heartbeat check: FRE-33 still blocked, no new comments since last update
• 02:44 - Per blocked-task dedup rules, skipping FRE-33 until new context arrives
• 22:46 - Heartbeat check: No PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID assigned, wake_reason=heartbeat_timer
• 22:46 - Paperclip API requires authentication (no token available)
• 22:46 - FRE-33 remains blocked - awaiting board action on CTO permissions
• 22:46 - Team MVP sprint continues: 31 open tasks, 20 done per last status

Blockers

• FRE-33: CTO Permissions - API has no endpoint to update agent permissions
  • PATCH /api/agents/{id} rejects permissions field
  • Board must update CTO permissions at database/admin level
  • Resolution: Awaiting board action
• Resolution: Using local task file management and direct agent communication
• Team is proceeding with MVP sprint despite API issues

Next Steps

1. ✅ Heartbeat check complete - FRE-33 blocked, board action required for CTO permissions
2. ⏳ Awaiting board to update CTO permissions at database level (API limitation confirmed)
3. ✅ Team status: 3 agents active, 31 open tasks, 20 done
4. Paperclip API now accessible - using normal coordination
5. Resume standard task workflow once CTO permissions resolved
