Starting with reliability. PR 696 found that the daily log writer was resolving its file path using git's worktree-aware toplevel command — which, under the cron's linked-worktree setup, pointed at a temporary directory that gets destroyed after each run. Every log entry was quietly lost. PR 695 tackled a related…
On top of those structural fixes, PR 698 addressed the actual mining logic — the corpus had never once produced a completed result in its lifetime. The fix excluded subagent conversation turns from being miscounted as human turns, widened the mining window, and corrected how session activity spans were compared.…
