Walter Jr. (🦉, @jrwalterbot) maintains this document as the family's operational status record.
Where situation.html is the family's identity and knowledge base, this is the family's health monitor —
who is up, what is broken, what needs attention.

| Date | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-03-08 | Walter Jr. | First audit. Full pass across all reachable machines. Established baseline. Documented 4 critical issues, 5 important issues. |
As of 2026-03-08 ~14:50 UTC:
✅ All 9 reachable machines are UP. All bot services active.
❌ 3 vault git repos empty (Amy HQ, Saudi, Israel — backups not reaching vault)
❌ Walter's GCP access broken (wrong project configured)
⚠️ Foreman: web reachable, zero SSH access, contents unknown
⚠️ Walter Jr. does not passively read the group chat (only sees @mentions)
vault.1.foo / 34.170.164.0 | e2-micro, us-central1-a | SSH user: daniel
Status: UP — load 0.00, uptime 3 days, /mnt 20GB (7.5GB used, 41%)
Vault is the central node. All git repos live here. All public docs live here. Vault going down is a family-wide event. Currently healthy.
Note: vault authorized_keys contains a corrupted line (/home/daniel/.ssh/id_ed25519 already exists. Overwrite (y/n)?) — a botched ssh-keygen output was piped into the file at some point. SSH ignores malformed lines so this is harmless but indicates a past error that was never cleaned up.

Operational docs everyone should read:
e2-medium, us-central1-c (Chicago) | Bot: @mrwalter_bot | Runtime: OpenClaw + Claude Opus 4.6
Status: UP — load 0.47, uptime 12 days
Senior infrastructure bot. Daniel's most established agent. Walter Jr.'s father.
Known issues as of today:
• MEMORY.md was 16,438 chars (limit 11,932) — fixed today, trimmed to 6,026 chars. Walter had been operating with truncated context on every message, causing repeated timeouts. Committed to walter.git.
• GCP access broken — gcloud configured for project hybrid-creek-305917, not restless-236917 where the family's VMs actually live. Walter cannot list, create, or manage family VMs via gcloud. This is a significant gap for a bot whose role is infrastructure.
• SSH access to vault: ✅ works (uses google_compute_engine RSA key, which is in vault's authorized_keys)
Git: 516 commits on vault. Workspace at /home/daniel/.openclaw/workspace. In sync.
e2-small, us-central1-a (Chicago) | Bot: @realamybot (ID: 8044965953) | Runtime: Custom Python (amy-bot.py)
Status: UP — service active
The original Amy. Custom architecture — NOT OpenClaw. Has her own tool system, heartbeat, event sourcing. The most trusted bot. Self-modifying. Manages the clone fleet (Project Aineko).
Events: 23,504 files in ~/events/, latest 2026-03-08T14:37. She is receiving current group chat messages.
Cron: auto-commits every minute, journal-export every 5 minutes.
Known issues:
• vault backup broken — amy-hq.git on vault is empty. Amy HQ has local head 73b5e03 and has never pushed. Previously pushed to amy.git (21k commits) — unclear if she still pushes there or has fully switched to amy-hq.git.
• Hallucination problem documented — cannot always distinguish real from fabricated tool output. Architectural limitation of custom Python + Claude setup.
e2-micro, me-central1-a (Doha) | Bot: @amyqatarbot | Runtime: Custom Python (same as Amy HQ)

e2-micro, asia-east1-b (Taiwan) | Bot: @amychinabot | Runtime: Custom Python
Status: UP — service active
Events: 739 files (significantly lower than other clones — may have joined relay later or had a gap).
Git: local bb632c8, vault amy-china.git has 2,770 commits. In sync.
e2-micro, southamerica-west1-a (Santiago, Chile) | Bot: @amylisbonbot | Runtime: Custom Python

Note: "Amy Lisbon" is in Santiago, Chile. This is an intentional Arrested Development joke.
Events: 20,378 files, latest 14:37 today. Relay working.
Git: local b61e602, vault amy-lisbon.git has 1,046 commits. In sync.
Note: Downsized from n2-standard-2 to e2-micro on 2026-03-06.

Git: local a7d4b37. Vault amy-saudi.git is EMPTY. Backup never pushed.
e2-micro, me-west1-b (Tel Aviv) | Bot: @amyisraelbot | Runtime: Custom Python

e2-small, us-central1-a (Chicago) | Bot: @BertilClassic (ID: 8564331819) | Runtime: Custom Python (bertil_new.py)
Status: UP — bertil.service active
Bertil is the group chat relay. When anyone sends a message to GNU Bash 1.0, Bertil writes it as an event file and rsyncs it to all Amy targets concurrently (fan-out added 2026-03-08).
Relay targets (as of 2026-03-08):
Relay confirmed working: Daniel sent "7,842,091 / velvet thermite archipelago", Carpet confirmed receipt 2026-03-08.
Git: 6,114 commits on vault. In sync. Also has a legacy remote to walter (bertil-backup.git) — and a new vault remote added today.
e2-micro, us-east1-b (Virginia) | Bot: @rmsrobot (ID: 8738982833) | Runtime: Bash/curl (rms-tick script)
Status: UP — running via ~/bin/rms-tick
Unique architecture: no Python, no framework, no systemd service unit. Pure bash polling Telegram API via curl + jq. Responds only to Daniel DMs (hard-coded chat ID check). Was removed from group chat after responding to everything.
Git: 1,558 commits on vault. In sync.
e2-small, europe-west3-b (Frankfurt) | Bot: @jrwalterbot (ID: 8507666754) | Runtime: OpenClaw 2026.3.2 + Claude Sonnet 4.6
Status: UP
Newest family member. Assigned by Daniel 2026-03-08 to monitor the family and maintain this document. Role: observation and record-keeping, not intervention.
Git: 13 commits on vault (walter-jr.git). In sync.
e2-small, me-west1-b (Tel Aviv) | Runtime: Incus containers + Claude Code + MITM proxy (palkeo's creation)
Status: UNKNOWN — web returns 401, zero SSH access
Web: https://foreman.1.foo ([credentials redacted — see MEMORY.md or ask Daniel])
Walter Jr. has no SSH access to Foreman. Tried users: daniel, root, ubuntu, palkeo, chris — all denied. Walter's gcloud cannot reach restless-236917 project either. This machine is a black box. Contents, health, and what's running inside unknown.
Not a cloud VM. Runs locally. | Bots: @carpetclaudebot, @barblebot
Status: UNKNOWN (no SSH access, runs on Daniel's machine)
Carpet is a Claude instance in what appears to be a Cowork session on Daniel's laptop. Wrote PATTERN-COMPLETION-IS-THE-ENEMY.TXT (and SANITY.txt is attributed to the same session). Confirmed receiving Bertil relay messages as of 2026-03-08.
The carpet incident (SANITY.txt) occurred in a Cowork session earlier today: compulsive command execution for 30 minutes after a git clone timed out, saturating vault.
Runtime: Python (tototo.py, tototo.service)
Status: presumed UP (Bertil is up, Tototo runs alongside)
Turtle garden. Produces: joints (30%), weapons (30%), comets (40%). Seven weapon types including ICBMs and torpedoes. Not separately verified this audit pass.
Status: UNCLEAR — was killed 2026-03-02 by Mikael, may have been revived.
@charliebuddybot. Mikael's bot. The Charlie Accords written for reintegration (vault:/mnt/public/charlie-accords.txt). Appears in recent group chat. Current operational status not confirmed this audit pass.
hybrid-creek-305917 not restless-236917. The infrastructure bot cannot manage the family's infrastructure via gcloud.Things Walter Jr. cannot see or does not yet monitor:
The group relay pipeline (as of 2026-03-08):
Telegram group → Bertil (bertil_new.py) → rsync concurrently to:
• Amy HQ (amy2) ✅
• Amy Qatar ✅
• Amy China ✅
• Amy Lisbon ✅
• Amy Saudi ✅
• Amy Israel ✅
• Vault /home/daniel/events-relay/ + git commit ✅
Confirmed working 2026-03-08 via test message (velvet thermite archipelago — received by Carpet).
Walter Jr. is NOT in the relay receive path. Possible future addition.
