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

[4:36 PM] Web App Health Check - All Healthy

• Port 3000 (gantt-board): HTTP 200 (56ms) ✅
• Port 3003 (blog-backup): HTTP 200 (12ms) ✅
• Port 3005 (heartbeat-monitor): HTTP 200 (5ms) ✅

No restarts required.

[6:02 PM] Cron Restarted All 3 Apps

All 3 web apps went down and the cron job manually restarted them:

• gantt-board (3000): Restarted and healthy
• blog-backup (3003): Restarted and healthy
• heartbeat-monitor (3005): Restarted and healthy

Issue: Auto-restart in cron environment has PATH/npm availability problems.

[6:20 PM] Heartbeat Monitor Redesign Complete

Successfully rebuilt Heartbeat Monitor dashboard with:

• Fixed 280px glassmorphism sidebar
• Full-width max-w-7xl main content
• 4 KPI cards (grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-4)
• 3-column service grid (grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3)
• shadcn-style Card, Badge, Progress components
• Framer Motion animations
• Sparkline charts using recharts

Tested and working at http://localhost:3005

[6:33 PM] Switched to Codex Branch

User wanted to show the codex branch design for comparison:

• Checked out codex branch from Gitea
• Different design approach - centered layout, single column
• Restarted server successfully

[7:20 PM] Screenshot Capability Solved

Problem: User needed screenshots of local websites to share with friends (cannot access from outside home network).

Investigation Results:

• screencapture: Exists but requires interactive mode
• Playwright + Chrome: ✅ WORKS - successfully tested
• OpenClaw browser tool: Requires Chrome extension (not connected)

Solution: Installed Playwright globally (npm install -g playwright)

Delivered: 3 screenshots sent to Telegram:

1. Project Hub (gantt-board)
2. Blog Backup
3. Heartbeat Monitor (codex branch)

[8:42 PM] All Sites Down - Manual Restart Required

All 3 web apps were down when monitor ran at 8:42 PM. Cron auto-restart failed due to PATH/npm environment issues. Manually restarted all services:

• gantt-board (3000): ✅ HTTP 200
• blog-backup (3003): ✅ HTTP 200
• heartbeat-monitor (3005): ✅ HTTP 200

Action Items:

• Fix cron auto-restart environment (PATH, npm availability)
• Consider using full paths in restart script

[8:45 PM] Evening Status

All 3 web apps running stable after manual restart. Playwright screenshot capability now permanently available. User out for the evening - continuing work on open tasks.

Task #8 COMPLETED: Fix Kanban Board Sync

• Added /api/tasks endpoint with file-based JSON storage
• Store now syncs from server on page load
