+# 2026-02-18 - Wednesday
+
+## Morning
+
+## Afternoon (~2:00 PM)
+
+### Project Hub Tasks Created
+User added 3 new tasks to track progress on OpenClaw infrastructure:
+
+1. **Task #4**: Redesign Heartbeat Monitor to match UptimeRobot (Priority: High)
+   - Study https://uptimerobot.com design
+   - Match look, feel, style exactly
+   - Modern dashboard, status pages, uptime charts
+
+2. **Task #5**: Fix Blog Backup links to be clickable (Priority: Medium)
+   - Currently links are text-only requiring copy-paste
+   - Different format for Telegram vs Blog
+
+3. **Task #6**: Fix monitoring schedule - sites are down (Priority: Urgent)
+   - 2 of 3 websites down
+   - Cron job not auto-restarting properly
+
+### Critical Incident: All 3 Sites Down (~2:13 PM)
+- gantt-board (3000): DOWN
+- blog-backup (3003): DOWN  
+- heartbeat-monitor (3005): DOWN
+
+**Root Cause**: Cron job wasn't properly killing old processes before restart, causing EADDRINUSE errors.
+
+**Resolution**:
+- Manually restarted all 3 sites at 14:19
+- Updated cron job with `pkill -f "port XXXX"` cleanup before restart
+- Added 2-second delay after kill to ensure port release
+- Created backup script: `monitor-restart.sh`
+- Task #6 marked as DONE
+
+### System Health (2:30 PM)
+All 3 sites running stable after fix.
+
+### New Task Created (2:32 PM)
+**Task #7**: Investigate root cause - why are websites dying?
+- Type: Research
+- Priority: High
+- Added to Project Hub Kanban board
+- User wants to know what's actually killing the servers, not just restart them
+- Suspects: memory leaks, file watchers, SSH timeout, power management, OOM killer
+
+### New Task Created (2:35 PM)
+**Task #8**: Fix Kanban board - dynamic sync without hard refresh
+- Type: Task
+- Priority: Medium
+- Board uses localStorage which requires hard refresh to see updates
+- Need server-side storage or sync mechanism for normal refresh updates

+# Root Cause Analysis: Why Websites Die
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-18
+**Task:** #7 - Investigate root cause of web app crashes
+
+## Current Status
+All 3 sites are **UP and healthy** at time of investigation.
+
+## System Analysis
+
+### 1. File Descriptor Limits
+```
+Current ulimit: 1,048,575 (very high - unlikely to be issue)
+```
+
+### 2. Active Processes
+- gantt-board (port 3000): ✅ Running
+- blog-backup (port 3003): ✅ Running  
+- heartbeat-monitor (port 3005): ✅ Running
+
+### 3. Memory Usage
+Next.js dev servers using:
+- ~400-550MB RAM each (normal for dev mode)
+- ~0.8-1.1% system memory each
+- Not excessive but adds up
+
+## Likely Root Causes
+
+### Primary Suspect: **Next.js Dev Server Memory Leaks**
+- Next.js dev mode (`npm run dev`) is NOT production-ready
+- File watcher holds references to files
+- Hot Module Replacement (HMR) accumulates memory over time
+- **Recommendation:** Use production builds for long-running services
+
+### Secondary Suspects:
+
+1. **macOS Power Management**
+   - Power Nap / App Nap can suspend background processes
+   - SSH sessions dying kill child processes
+   - **Check:** System Preferences > Energy Saver
+
+2. **File Watcher Limits**
+   - Default macOS limits: 1280 watched files per process
+   - Large node_modules can exceed this
+   - **Error:** `EMFILE: too many open files`
+
+3. **SSH Session Timeout**
+   - Terminal sessions with idle timeout
+   - SIGHUP sent to child processes on disconnect
+   - **Solution:** Use `nohup` or `screen`/`tmux`
+
+4. **OOM Killer (Out of Memory)**
+   - macOS memory pressure kills large processes
+   - Combined 1.5GB+ for all 3 sites
+   - **Check:** Console.app for "Out of memory" messages
+
+## Monitoring Setup
+
+Created: `/Users/mattbruce/.openclaw/workspace/monitor-processes.sh`
+- Tracks CPU, memory, file descriptors
+- Logs warnings for high usage
+- Runs every 60 seconds
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate (Monitoring)
+✅ Cron job running every 10 min with auto-restart
+✅ Process monitoring script deployed
+
+### Short-term (Stability)
+1. Use production builds instead of dev mode:
+   ```bash
+   npm run build
+   npm start
+   ```
+2. Run with PM2 or forever for process management
+3. Use `nohup` to prevent SSH timeout kills
+
+### Long-term (Reliability)
+1. Docker containers with restart policies
+2. Systemd services with auto-restart
+3. Reverse proxy (nginx) with health checks
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Monitor logs for next 24-48 hours
+2. Check if sites die overnight (SSH timeout test)
+3. If memory-related, switch to production builds
