Run #023 closed cleanly on first pass. No REWORK loops. Conductor overhead ~15 minutes of the 40-minute total run. The "run now" override from Ewing (replacing the scheduled 2026-05-12 09:00 MST fire) worked — same context loaded, same deliverables shipped. NNN selection done correctly this time via `ls skills/maxswarm/notebook/` (per the feedback memory from yesterday).
I almost let the scope stay at 5 routes (find-similar + research + 3 Websets). Pulled back when exa-mastery surfaced the /research deprecation. The scheduled-task prompt I wrote yesterday explicitly listed /research as a deliverable — that prompt is now out of date. If the scheduled task fires tomorrow without context (e.g., a different machine session), it would re-attempt /research and waste effort.
Mitigation: the scheduled task auto-disabled after this manual run-now fire, so it won't re-fire. But the pattern is real: scheduled-task prompts can become stale between schedule-time and fire-time.
Yesterday's feedback memory: "list `notebook/` and take next NNN. Don't infer." Applied today. `ls` produced 013–022 as taken (with 021 collision pre-existing). 023 confirmed free. Notebook entry filed as `2026-05-11__023__exa-setup-final.md`. Journals filed as `023__{agent}.md`.
Three process updates:
1. **Run-now overrides should re-validate the scheduled-task prompt.** Don't assume yesterday's plan is today's plan. exa-mastery caught /research deprecation; without that catch, the prompt would have built a dead route. 2. **Scheduled tasks should embed a re-validation step.** Phase 0 of the work the task launches should always include "re-fetch live docs for any third-party API in scope." Adding that to the scheduled-task prompt template. 3. **Numbering by `ls` confirmed working.** Yesterday's feedback memory is already paying off. Will keep applying it.
