Morning Briefing late/missed 06:30 SLA — 09-May-2026

What

Cron-triggered delivery at 06:30 IST on 09-May-2026 failed. The openclaw agent command exited with an error: Thinking level "high" is not supported for moonshot/kimi-k2.6. Use one of: off, on. The watchdog at 06:35 correctly detected no ledger entry and sent an alert. The briefing was delivered manually at 12:13 IST.

Why

The cron script scripts/deliver-morning-briefing.sh was hardcoded with --thinking high, which is not supported by the current default model (moonshot/kimi-k2.6). This is a config-model mismatch that was not caught during script installation.

Action Taken

  • Script fixed: --thinking high changed to --thinking on in both deliver-morning-briefing.sh and morning-briefing-watchdog.sh.
  • Late briefing delivered at 12:13 IST via WhatsApp.
  • Ledger updated with late delivery evidence.

Required Follow-up

  1. Validate the fixed script before next cron run (10-May-2026 06:30 IST).
  2. Add a pre-flight test to the script that validates openclaw agent syntax before relying on it for production delivery.
  3. Close this handoff only after two consecutive on-time briefings are logged.
