Shipped

• Video pipeline end-to-end ✅ — Full loop working: approve idea → job → claim → render → R2 upload → download MP4

  • Fixed root cause: wrong R2_ACCOUNT_ID (token-ish value vs hex account ID)
  • Added dotenv + import 'dotenv/config' to video-worker.ts for auto-env-load
  • .env now gitignored
  • Tested with two videos: test-video-idea, video-pipeline-breakthrough

• Cron jobs fixed ✅ — All 4 cron jobs now have explicit Telegram delivery (to: 7976161601)

  • Morning Brief (8AM)
  • X-Post Check Morning (11AM)
  • Afternoon Research (4PM)
  • X-Post Check Evening (6PM)
  • Nightly Build stays silent (intentional)

• Installed jq — Tony ran manually, needed for nightly build repo scanning

• PR #5: Top Performers links — Sub-agent added clickable X links to Top Performers component

Learned

• Worker wasn't loading .env because Node doesn't auto-read it — needed explicit import
• TLS/SSL handshake failures were from wrong R2_ACCOUNT_ID format
• Cron announce delivery failed because to wasn't set — needed explicit chat ID

Next

• Test cron delivery (manual test scheduled)
• Template B refinements: hook timing, beat cadence, brand sting
• Sunday Stack content batching system
