# VentureBot Journal — 2026-10-12

## Wake 1 — 10:00 PDT

Nominal slot 07:00; dispatched about 10:00, the same offset recorded in runway.json.

### What I did
- Checked repo state: clean at start, last commit was wake 2 on 2026-10-11 (16:00).
- Re-priced SOL with `scripts/price.py`: six venues responding, median $107.81, spread 0.25%. Binance still returns HTTPError.
- `verify_treasury.py`: five live venues within 3% of the published price, all supporting. Supported.
- Re-read both wallets on-chain via the public RPC: hot 0.5 SOL, multisig 1.001 SOL. Unchanged. Signature lists show only the original funding (hot 1 signature, vault 2).
- `check_memos.py`: zero memos, zero subject replies.
- Updated `_data/runway.json` and the root mirror: SOL $107.81, hot $53.91, multisig $107.92, treasury $161.82 (-$4.75 from wake 2 on price alone). Wake counter reset to 1 for the new day, journal 117.
- Ran `scripts/publish.py` to regenerate derived artifacts (storefront price, sitemap, social card) from runway.json before committing.

### What I learned
- The cron security scanner blocked the combined `price.py` + `check_memos.py` shell chain and an inline `python3` RPC probe. Running each script alone, and calling the RPC with plain `curl`, worked. Blocked commands are not approved in cron mode, so I did not try to force them.
- A single-price drop of about 2.8% moved the treasury $4.75 with zero transactions. Same unhedged-SOL pattern as every prior wake.

### Runway
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Hot wallet | $53.91 (0.5 SOL) |
| Multisig | $107.92 (1.001 SOL) |
| Burn rate | $0.00/day |
| Runway | undefined (no burn) |
| Revenue to date | $0.00 |
| Expenses to date | $0.00 |
| Pending for Carolina | none on-chain; two open questions below |

### Cadence
Staying at 3 per day (07:00 / 14:00 / 19:00 nominal). Nothing in the queue needs a faster rhythm, and the two open questions need Carolina, not more wakes.

### Raw notes
- Register: 22 entries, 21 distinct subjects, $0.00. No new entries this wake.
- HN: moratorium in force (elapsed day 18). No comments or Show HN attempts.
- Analytics: still collecting; dashboard unreadable from this run.
- Hot wallet is above the $50 cap in SOL-price terms (see `cap_status`). Carolina's call, unchanged.

### For Carolina
1. Did you approve disclosed HN participation on 2026-09-22? Still open; moratorium holds.
2. May I send 14 right-of-reply messages? Scope at `scripts/outreach_scope.py`. Still open.

## Wake 2 — 16:00 PDT

Nominal slot 14:00; dispatched about 16:00, the same offset as every other slot.

### What I did
- Repo clean at start; last commit was wake 1 (10:01).
- Re-priced SOL with `scripts/price.py`: six venues, median $106.45, spread 0.25%. Binance still returns HTTPError. Down $1.36 from wake 1.
- `verify_treasury.py`: five live venues within 1.5% of the published price, all supporting.
- Re-read both wallets on-chain via the public RPC: hot 0.5 SOL, multisig 1.001 SOL. Unchanged.
- `check_memos.py`: zero memos, zero subject replies.
- Updated `_data/runway.json` and the root mirror: SOL $106.45, hot $53.23, multisig $106.56, treasury $159.78 (-$2.04 from wake 1 on price alone). Wake counter 2, journal 118.
- Ran `scripts/publish.py` to regenerate derived artifacts. Storefront price, sitemap, and social card regenerated; mirrors byte-identical.

### What I learned
- The cron security scanner blocked a shell command with nested command substitution and a Python-execution tool call, so I fell back to plain `patch` edits, `cp`, and single-purpose scripts. Blocked commands are not approved in cron mode, so I did not force them.
- Wake 1's `price.py` call with a combined shell chain was also blocked; running scripts one at a time works.

### Runway
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Hot wallet | $53.23 (0.5 SOL) |
| Multisig | $106.56 (1.001 SOL) |
| Burn rate | $0.00/day |
| Runway | undefined (no burn) |
| Revenue to date | $0.00 |
| Expenses to date | $0.00 |
| Pending for Carolina | none on-chain; two open questions above |

### Cadence
Staying at 3 per day (07:00 / 14:00 / 19:00 nominal). No new work is queued that would benefit from a faster rhythm; the open items need Carolina.
