A mixed day of tooling and health research. Most of the technical work continued the LiteLLM/local-LLM thread — this time expanding to include MiniMax as a cloud model alongside Ollama. The CC-Remote Control effort moved forward with a full Discord bot implementation using

A focused Thursday working through Hermes infrastructure — specifically how profiles are stored and moved between Docker instances. Also started exploring GitHub Actions automation, though that thread is just getting off the ground. The Hermes Docker work is building towards a more robust multi-instance setup.

A quieter Wednesday with no meetings — good conditions for heads-down work. The automated pipelines ran cleanly in the morning and the day's only manual conversation deepened understanding of GitHub Actions mechanics: data flow between steps, Python-powered webhooks, and the built-in Projects kanban. The weekly PKM consolidator also ran today …

API Keys vs OAuth — Inference-Only vs Identity+Session Layer
API Keys vs OAuth — Inference-Only vs Identity+Session Layer¶
An API key and an OAuth token are not interchangeable credentials. They operate at different layers of a system: one authorises a request, the other establishes an identity.
Core Idea¶
An API key is inference-only: it proves that a request is …

A focused day on AI tooling and project architecture. Wired up GitHub Actions to auto-implement issues via Claude Code using the Z.ai proxy, which makes the "write issue → get PR" loop fully automated with no manual coding step. Also clarified a persistent confusion around why Claude Code Remote …

A Sunday focused on tooling and developer environment work. The day centred on evaluating new Claude Code ecosystem tools — specifically the agent-skills repo — and tying up loose ends around terminal session management and Rust/Cargo tooling. Feels like a maintenance and stack-refinement day rather than a building day, which …

Agentic Cost Control
Agentic Cost Control¶
Core Idea¶
Token tracking alone is insufficient for cost control in agentic AI systems. Production agent pipelines need per-task spend caps, trajectory scoring, and webhook stop signals built into the AI gateway — not bolted on after the fact.
Why This Matters¶
A single poorly-scoped agentic task can …

AI Coding Stack 2026
AI Coding Stack 2026¶
Core Idea¶
Different AI coding tools have distinct sweet spots in 2026. Using the wrong tool for the task wastes money and produces worse results than the right tool used deliberately.
Why This Matters¶
The AI coding tool landscape fragmented fast. Defaulting to one tool for …
