# Error Log

Brief records of preventable, pattern-worthy events across the fleet — used to improve
skills, write better CLAUDE.md rules, and clean stale/misleading memory. The aim: never
pay tokens twice for the same avoidable mistake. Append newest at the top; keep entries to
1-2 lines. **Always write via the helper, never by hand:**
`bash .claude/scripts/log-skill-error.sh "<skill/context>" "<brief>" [--correction|--friction] [--context "k=v"]`

Format: `YYYY-MM-DD | MACHINE | command/skill/context | [type] error (brief) [ctx: ...]`
A trailing ` (xN)` is the helper's repeat counter: the same entry logged N times that
day (identical machine+skill+message collapse to one line instead of N duplicates).

Categories (the `[type]` tag): _(none)_ = skill/command execution failure ·
`[correction]` = user corrected an improper assumption I made ·
`[friction]` = preventable self-inflicted token-waste (harness/env/tool misuse; cite a
`ref=` in ctx when it repeats a documented gotcha — that flags a rule/memory to strengthen).

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | bash/quoting | [friction] inline PS-in-bash heredoc with nested quotes mangled by CommandLineToArgvW on dispatch to RMM; fixed by file+EncodedCommand path [ctx: ref=feedback_windows_quote_stripping]

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | rmm/claude-reinstall | fresh claude-code 2.1.201 npm install on ACG-Tech03L crashed 0xC0000005 on first --version run, succeeded on retry; suspected Datto EDR first-touch scan of new binaries [ctx: machine=ACG-Tech03L cmd=9770a7af]

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | rmm/ps-encoded | ps-encoded.sh failed on Howard-Home: iconv not found in Git Bash; fell back to powershell.exe base64 encoding [ctx: machine=Howard-Home script=.claude/scripts/ps-encoded.sh]

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | ps-encoded | encode produced empty output [ctx: src=C:UsersHowardAppDataLocal/Temp/claude/C--claudetools/2ab704e1-28dd-48fa-81dd-7c4d52d0cf3d/scratchpad/tech03-recon.ps1]

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | context-loading/dataforth | [correction] grepped for 'datforth' (user misspelling), found nothing, then found wiki hits on second grep but didn't read wiki/clients/dataforth.md or projects/dataforth-dos.md; user had to say 'use the wiki'. Correct: on any client-name trigger, fuzzy-match spelling and READ the wiki article before asking the user for infra facts

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | screenconnect/sc-cleanup | [friction] burned many tokens iterating the SERVER/Accounting remap because each WAN-map rebuild re-queried SERVER-named machines (returning all fleet SERVER sessions), re-contaminating; fix = build WAN map ONLY from unique-named (len==1) machines, never from shared names

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | screenconnect/sc-cleanup | [correction] assumed GetSessionsByName is client-scoped; it matches by NAME across ALL clients, so writing to shared/generic names (SERVER x11, Accounting x3) cross-contaminated other clients' sessions with the last-processed client's Company. Fixed tool to skip when >1 session returned; remapped contaminated sessions to correct client via WAN IP; 5 unidentifiable sessions left blank for manual console tagging (originals were overwritten, unrecoverable).

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | unifi-wifi/gw-sitemanager | Site Manager API call failed (HTTP 404) [ctx: path=/v1/connector/consoles/D021F96C10F9000000000646421B000000000690DCFE0000000061F0BB7D:1721816512/proxy/network/stat/sta]

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | unifi-wifi/gw-sitemanager | Site Manager API call failed (HTTP 404) [ctx: path=/v1/connector/consoles/D021F96C10F9000000000646421B000000000690DCFE0000000061F0BB7D:1721816512/proxy/network/stat/device]

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | rmm/bot-alerts | [correction] did ~74 agent deploys + 16 client onboards this session but only posted 1 bot-alert (Russo rename); /rmm mandates a #dev-alerts post after every write. Correct: alert per workflow (or a consolidated summary for a batch), not silence.

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | python/windows | [friction] open(path,'w') defaults to cp1252 on Windows so em-dash/smart-quotes wrote as invalid UTF-8 (0x97), later decode failed; fix: open(...,encoding='utf-8')

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | bash/env | [friction] curl inside a while-read loop steals the loop's stdin -> returns empty/partial; fix: add </dev/null to the curl (or read from a file, or use python)

2026-07-04 | Howard-Home | screenconnect | ScreenConnect API error [SendCommandToSession]: HTTP 500: {"errorType":"","message":"An session manager fault error occurred while processing your request. Please contact support if the problem persists."} [ctx: cmd=send-command]

2026-07-04 | GURU-5070 | dataforth/ctonw-v5.1 | CONFIG.SYS collection used 'IF NOT EXIST T:STATUS%MACHINE%NUL MD ...' (the NUL dir-exists test is unreliable on a network/SMB drive) and COPY targets had NO trailing backslash -> MD skipped, COPY created FILES named after each machine instead of per-machine folders, and 'MEM /C > T:STATUS%MACHINE%MEM.TXT' wrote to a nonexistent path -> DOS 'T: write fault Abort/Retry/Fail?' HUNG unattended boot on production DOS test stations. Reverted CTONW to v5.0. Fix: pre-create per-machine dirs server-side on the NAS, use trailing backslash on COPY dir targets, never let a network write error reach the critical-error handler at boot; test on ONE isolated station before any fleet exposure. [ctx: ref=dos-network-drive-copy sev=production-boot-hang]

2026-07-04 | GURU-5070 | deploy/dos-batch | [friction] reported CRLF via grep -c $'
$' which misfired on an LF-only file the Write tool produced; staged an LF-only .BAT to the Dataforth NAS (DOS needs CRLF). Caught by Mike at the station. Fix: verify line endings with 'tr -cd 
 | wc -c' (must equal LF count) and CRLF-convert Write-tool batch files with 'sed s/$/
/' before deploy. [ctx: ref=projects/dataforth-dos/.gitattributes file=NWTOC.v5.1]

2026-07-04 | GURU-5070 | ps-encoded | encode produced empty output [ctx: src=/dev/fd/63]

2026-07-03 | GURU-5070 | agy/gemini-cli | old gemini npm CLI dead on this account: throwIneligibleOrProjectIdError (needs GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT); replaced by Antigravity 'agy' binary [ctx: fix=rewired-to-agy]

2026-07-03 | GURU-5070 | grok | grok xsearch incomplete (rc=124); auto-fell back to gemini [ctx: mode=xsearch]

2026-07-03 | GURU-5070 | agy | gemini returned no response (empty after 3 attempts) [ctx: mode=review err=    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:104:] (x2)

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | rmm-search/gps-audit | [correction] RMM org 'Russo, Steve' was mis-named at setup — it IS Russo Law Firm (Steve Russo = owner, Shannon Trionfo = main contact), not a separate resident. Renamed org to 'Russo Law Firm' via PUT /api/clients/:id. Lesson: an RMM org named after a person may be a mislabeled business; verify owner/contact against Syncro before treating as residential. Root cause: client created without a skill/standard naming step.

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | rmm/av-removal | [friction] step1 PS timed out at 180s (avastclear download + mb5uns -Wait); split into async download + separate MB uninstall [ctx: host=DESKTOP-5JK4EGI]

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | ps-encoded | encode produced empty output [ctx: src=.claude/skills/_tmp_win_recon.ps1]

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | rmm/onboarding-diagnostic | probe timed out (240s, exit -1) on slow VM endpoint DESKTOP-5JK4EGI; fell back to lean targeted recon [ctx: host=DESKTOP-5JK4EGI kind=VM]

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | rmm-diagnose | could not extract valid diagnostic JSON from probe output [ctx: host=DESKTOP-5JK4EGI status=failed exit=-1]
2026-07-04 | GURU-BEAST-ROG | agy/ask-gemini | gemini review returned empty: throwIneligibleOrProjectIdError in _doSetupUser (OAuth eligibility/project not set) after 3 attempts [ctx: task=syncro-recon-multiai model=gemini-cli-0.45.2]

2026-07-04 | GURU-BEAST-ROG | agy | gemini returned no response (empty after 3 attempts) [ctx: mode=review err=    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:104:]

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | remediation-tool/graph | [friction] auditLogs/signIns $filter (userId/UPN) hangs HTTP000 on Cascades tenant; large $top also hangs. Fix: small unfiltered $top=50, filter client-side

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | rmm/ps-encoded | [friction] iconv missing in Git Bash so ps-encoded.sh cannot build UTF-16LE -EncodedCommand. Fix: py -c base64.b64encode(text.encode('utf-16-le'))

2026-07-03 | Howard-Home | remediation-tool/get-token | [friction] get-token.sh reads ~/.claude/identity.json (absent here); repo identity.json has vault_path=D:/vault. Fix: prefix VAULT_ROOT_ENV=/d/vault [ctx: ref=vault-skill-gotchas]

2026-07-03 | GURU-5070 | rmm/dispatch | [friction] embedded backslash PS in jq literal program twice this session; jq treats S etc as invalid escapes - ALWAYS use ps-encoded.sh or jq --arg for any command containing backslashes [ctx: ref=feedback_windows_quote_stripping + rmm skill quote-safe dispatch rule]

2026-07-03 | GURU-5070 | rmm/pst-context | [correction] assumed PST-SERVER2 might still be a live DC needing demote at cutover; correct is it died permanently (~mid-June, per Mike, stated previously) and PST-DC-NW is its replacement

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | discord-dm/bash-curl | [friction] Discord file attachment (multipart -F) failed on Git-bash Windows: HTTP 000 from MSYS path-converting -F args (esp. type=text/html and @/c/.. paths), then 50035 from inline payload_json quoting. Fix: MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL='*', cd to file dir + use relative @name, and read payload_json from a file via -F 'payload_json=<file.json'. discord-dm.sh is text-only so file sends need this direct curl path. [ctx: ref=feedback_windows_quote_stripping]

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | ps-encoded | encode produced empty output [ctx: src=C:/Users/Howard/AppData/Local/Temp/claude/C--claudetools/48ddc9ec-86ca-4dc1-93b2-529186a2623f/scratchpad/clear-caregiver-mustchange.ps1]

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | unifi/site-manager-api | [friction] vault infrastructure/unifi-site-manager-api key returns 401 (stale/rotated); the WORKING cloud key is services/unifi-site-manager (X-API-KEY vs api.ui.com) [ctx: ref=uos-server wiki; use services/unifi-site-manager]

2026-07-02 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool/consent-drift | [correction] assumed VWP had SharePoint access because the suite 'has' it; VWP had the Tenant Admin app but only PARTIAL consent (Graph Sites but not the SharePoint app-only role) -> SP calls 401 with empty roles. Fix: audit per-tenant token roles, grant missing app role via appRoleAssignment (Method B). Per-tenant consent is NOT uniform. [ctx: ref=app-suite.md tenant=VWP]

2026-07-02 | GURU-5070 | rmm/long-install-reaper | [friction] long download+install (131MB Falcon) exceeds the RMM command timeout on a slow-egress box -> command shows failed/'Command timeout'/'Access is denied' but the install COMPLETES in background (service came up Running). Verify service state after, don't trust the failed status for fire-and-forget installs. [ctx: ref=reference_gururmm_command_timeout_seconds host=ACG-DC16]

2026-07-02 | GURU-5070 | ps-encoded/server2016 | [friction] ps-encoded.sh rmm (shell->cmd.exe->powershell -EncodedCommand) returns 'Access is denied' with no stdout on Windows Server 2016 (DC16); plain command_type=powershell works. Fall back to direct powershell dispatch on Server 2016. [ctx: ref=ps-encoded.sh host=ACG-DC16 os=server2016]

2026-07-02 | GURU-BEAST-ROG | self-check/registry-trim | [friction] trimmed skill registry locally while GURU-5070 shipped the same trim upstream; auto-sync merge raced my uncommitted edits (transient UU state, stale 15777 reading mid-merge); fix: check coord / claim a lock before fleet-wide harness edits [ctx: ref=coord-locks]

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | rmm/user-manager | [correction] reset Shelby.Trozzi domain password with raw Set-ADAccountPassword via /rmm; memory reference_gururmm_user_manager says use the built-in GuruRMM User Manager (reset_password action, is_dc) instead. [ctx: ref=reference_gururmm_user_manager]

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | rmm/powershell | [friction] PowerShell parse errors from backslash-before-closing-quote ("W:" and "W:\") in RMM payloads; wasted 2 dispatches. Fix: use bare path tokens (Test-Path W:) or single-quotes, never a quoted string ending in a backslash.

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | rmm/powershell | [friction] net use via RMM user_session to remote CS-SERVER failed err67/1702 (impersonated token has no network credential = double-hop); documented as 'SMB error 67 RMM artifact'. Fix: plant HKCU:Network<drv> keys + cmdkey; drive mounts at next interactive logon. [ctx: ref=wiki/clients/cascades-tucson SMB-error-67]

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | rmm/bash | [friction] hand-escaped nested JSON payload for /api/agents/command; server rejected + jq parse-errored the response. Fix: build payload with jq -n --arg (skill already mandates this for multi-line scripts). [ctx: ref=rmm.md-multiline-heredoc]

2026-07-02 | Howard-Home | rmm/inventory | [friction] censused ARP as SYSTEM reading HKCU (=SYSTEM profile), missed per-user installs + falsely concluded no programs removed; must enumerate all HKU* user hives

2026-07-02 | GURU-5070 | bash/env | [friction] referenced $RMM/$TOKEN from prior Bash call; env does not persist between calls - re-auth inline [ctx: ref=CLAUDE.md shell-env rule]

2026-07-02 | GURU-5070 | cargo/windows-msvc-linker | [friction] cargo check on GURU-5070 fails 'linker link.exe not found' (MSVC linker not on PATH / vcvars64.bat not found under VS roots) - blocks local server typecheck; memory reference_guru5070_rust_toolchain claims MSVC present. Build on the pipeline/Linux host instead. [ctx: ref=reference_guru5070_rust_toolchain host=GURU-5070]

2026-07-01 | Howard-Home | rmm/powershell | [friction] interpolated string "$i:..." parsed as drive-qualified variable (InvalidVariableReferenceWithDrive) -> use ${i}; cost one round-trip dispatch

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | bash/msys-pathconv | [friction] cmd.exe /c from Git-bash: MSYS converted /c to C: and opened an interactive cmd (2min timeout); use powershell.exe directly or MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 [ctx: ref=msys-path-conversion-family]

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | bash/jq-windows | [friction] jq --rawfile with /dev/stdin fails on Windows jq (no /proc); build JSON from a shell var with jq -n --arg instead

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | agy/gemini-verify | gemini verify failed: gemini-3.1-pro-preview quota exhausted, default-model fallback errored on OAuth _doSetupUser. Gemini unavailable for cross-vendor verification this session. [ctx: skill=agy]

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | agy | gemini returned no response (empty after 3 attempts) [ctx: mode=verify err=    at async _doSetupUser (file:///C:/Users/guru/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_module]

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | agy | gemini returned no response (empty after 3 attempts) [ctx: mode=verify err=    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:104:]

2026-07-01 | Howard-Home | rmm-search | RMM auth failed via rmm-auth.sh (no TOKEN/RMM)

2026-07-01 | Howard-Home | coord | coord API call failed (HTTP 0) [ctx: http=0 cmd=lock claim resp={"error": "<urlopen error [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because t]

2026-07-01 | Howard-Home | rmm/mac-mount-check | [friction] grep '/Volumes/Data' false-matched '/System/Volumes/Data' and reported MOUNTED when share was absent; use precise 'on /Volumes/Data ' (with trailing space) as the LaunchAgent does

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool | [friction] declared 'no SharePoint access' on a Graph accessDenied; actually the Tenant Admin app holds SharePoint Sites.FullControl.All - the blocks were (a) SharePoint app-only needs CERT not client_secret ('Unsupported app only token') and (b) get-token.sh had no SharePoint resource tier. Fixed: added sharepoint/sharepoint-admin tiers + reference doc. [ctx: ref=.claude/skills/remediation-tool/references/app-permissions-and-sharepoint.md]

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | context/session-resume | [correction] assumed 'PST-SERVER investigation' = Peaceful Spirit DFS rebuild; correct is the deleted-PST-files scope investigation (Dataforth/NWTOC)

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | sync/vault | vault sync failed: cannot connect to git.azcomputerguru.com:443 (timeout). No local vault changes pending. Internal 172.16.3.20:3000 preferred per reference_gitea_internal. [ctx: ref=reference_gitea_internal machine=GURU-5070]

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | birth-biologic/quality-upload | [correction] prior upload script silently skipped every file >=4MB; Datto had 301 such files (~29.7GB) so it could never reach target count. Fix: Graph chunked upload sessions for >=4MB.

2026-07-01 | GURU-5070 | rmm/command-dispatch | [friction] RMM agent ignores 'timeout' field (capped ~300s -> zombie 'running' commands); long-running commands MUST use 'timeout_seconds'. Cost a full day of failed Birth Biologic uploads. [ctx: agent=ACG-DWP-X-BB ref=gururmm-command-timeout-seconds]

2026-06-30 | Howard-Home | remediation-tool/exchange-op | [friction] Add-MailboxPermission -AutoMapping $true silently rolled back the FullAccess grant for 2 of 4 delegates (cmdlet echoed [FullAccess] success but Get-MailboxPermission showed NONE); a failed msExchDelegateListLink write aborts the whole Add transaction. Fix: re-add with -AutoMapping $false (FullAccess then persists); set automapping separately/interactively if auto-attach is required. [ctx: tenant=cascadestucson.com mailbox=tamra.matthews app=ComputerGuru-Exchange-Operator]

2026-06-30 | Howard-Home | /syncro | [correction] invoiced 'Windows Pro Upgrade' line items (Cascades 67887/67890) with blank CATEGORY; product_category was null and I billed it anyway — correct is to pre-flight GET /products/<id>, never invoice a null/blank category, and never invent one (use existing set e.g. Software) [ctx: ref=feedback_syncro_line_item_category invoices=67887,67890 product=23571919]

2026-06-30 | Howard-Home | rmm/printer-map | [friction] Add-Printer -ConnectionName in user_session = HRESULT 0x800702e4 ELEVATION_REQUIRED (Point-and-Print); agent watchdog times out on the interactive UAC prompt. Use WScript.Network.AddWindowsPrinterConnection + have a user at console approve, or pre-stage driver/connection as SYSTEM

2026-06-30 | Howard-Home | rmm/powershell | [friction] literal UNC backslashes (hostshare) in a jq-built PS payload got mangled to a single backslash -> Add-Printer 'invalid name'; fix: build UNC with [char]92 instead of literal backslashes [ctx: ref=feedback_windows_quote_stripping host=RECEPTIONIST-PC]

2026-06-30 | Howard-Home | unifi-wifi/pfsense-ssh | SSH connect/auth failed (rc=255) [ctx: host=192.168.0.1:22 slug=cascades-tucson act=fw-list]

2026-06-30 | Howard-Home | bash/env | [friction] Bash tool default timeout 120000ms cut off long RMM watch loops twice; set timeout param to 600000 for multi-minute monitoring.

2026-06-30 | Howard-Home | powershell/env | [friction] "C:.~BT" in a double-quoted PS string expands $WINDOWS to empty -> C:.~BT; Test-Path falsely reports folder missing. Fix: backtick-escape (`$) or single-quote the path.

2026-06-29 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool/graph | [friction] Tenant Admin app 403s on group DELETE (has GroupMember write, not Group.ReadWrite.All); use User Manager app for M365 group deletion [ctx: tenant=birthbiologic op=group-delete]

2026-06-29 | GURU-5070 | rmm/rsync-cygwin | [friction] cwRsync (cygwin) on AD2 misreads a Windows 'C:path' DESTINATION as a remote host; pulls silently fail. Use /cygdrive/c/... for local src AND dst [ctx: host=AD2 ref=dataforth-dos-sync]

2026-06-29 | GURU-5070 | graph/sharepoint-upload | BirthBio media upload: all 10 large files failed at chunk 0 (connection closed on send + 503) with 60MB chunks; docs OK [ctx: site=birthbiologic chunk=60MB fix=reduce-to-10MiB+retry]

2026-06-29 | GURU-5070 | rmm/user-management | [correction] Claimed GuruRMM has no built-in user-password action; it DOES - the per-agent User Manager tab (Users/Groups) manages local + domain (on a DC) + AAD users: reset_password, set_enabled, set_password_never_expires, add/remove_from_group. Used raw Set-ADAccountPassword PowerShell instead (which also leaked the pw into command history). [ctx: endpoint=/api/agents/{id}/users + /users/action component=UserManagerTab.tsx]

2026-06-29 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool | [correction] assumed 'AD account' meant Entra/M365 account; user meant ON-PREM AD. 365/email stays disabled; on-prem handled separately (no ADsync - cloud-only user). [ctx: client=VWP user=teresa@valleywideplastering.com]

2026-06-29 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool/reset-password.sh | [friction] JIT de-elevation can never succeed: an app-only SP cannot remove its OWN Privileged Authentication Administrator assignment ('no privilege to remove self'). Every admin-account reset leaves standing PAA on the ComputerGuru Tenant Admin SP; requires a human Global Admin to remove. Likely also left PAA on birthbiologic.com (2026-06-08).

2026-06-29 | GURU-5070 | syncro/billing | [friction] created invoice on ticket with pre-existing unbilled line item without checking first; invoice swept a prior 5.0h migration charge + my 1.0h, deducting 6.0h from prepaid block (10->3 total, intended 2).

2026-06-29 | Howard-Home | rmm/powershell | [friction] used $pid as a variable in remote PS script; $PID is a reserved automatic variable (current process id) so the .zip ProgID read was clobbered (showed 16044).

2026-06-28 | Howard-Home | rmm/spec-015-safeboot | [friction] safe-mode survival test stranded DESKTOP-MS42HNC: (a) registering only GuruRMMAgent/Watchdog in SafeBootNetwork is insufficient for the agent to connect in Safe Mode (needs network-stack deps e.g. BFE/Dnscache/CryptSvc); (b) Task-Scheduler dead-man does NOT fire in Safe Mode so auto-revert failed -> required manual console recovery [ctx: host=DESKTOP-MS42HNC spec=SPEC-015 fix=use-a-service-not-schtasks-for-revert test-only-on-disposable-VM]

2026-06-28 | Howard-Home | rmm/powershell-discovery | [friction] broad '*.log' Get-ChildItem on C:WindowsTemp pulled a 157KB Office C2R telemetry log into command output, wasting tokens; scope log searches to the specific filename (mccleanup.log) or a tight -Filter, not *.log

2026-06-27 | GURU-5070 | sync/bash-timeout | [friction] sync.sh SIGTERM'd at 2min: Bash tool default 120s timeout collides with sync.sh's ~120s lock-wait window (exit 143). Fix: invoke sync.sh with Bash timeout >=180000ms so it can acquire the lock or cleanly exit 75

2026-06-27 | GURU-5070 | birthbio/datto-sharepoint | [correction] assumed 'reappearing' files were a Datto two-way-sync resurrection from the transfer VM; correct: they were stale copies left in SharePoint since the April additive push (deleted from Datto later, never removed from SP). Mirror cleanup removed them.

2026-06-27 | GURU-5070 | bash/background-poller | [friction] background poll script used $0-relative temp files ($0.l.json etc.) for curl --data-binary @file; under run_in_background $0 didn't resolve to a writable path so every poll errored + it never detected completion. Fix: use absolute scratchpad paths in background scripts, not $0-relative

2026-06-26 | Howard-Home | syncro/billing | [correction] hand-rolled add_line_item API calls from memory instead of using the /syncro skill; malformed tickets reached Winter for cleanup.

2026-06-26 | Howard-Home | bash/env | [friction] used relative .claude/scripts/rmm-auth.sh after an earlier cd into a skill scripts dir (cwd persists across Bash calls) -> 'No such file or directory'; fix: cd /c/claudetools first or use absolute paths [ctx: ref=2026-06-25-edr-rollout cwd-drift note]

2026-06-26 | Howard-Home | rmm/bash-quoting | [friction] REPEAT (same session, day after logging it): used doubled single-quotes ('') around a PowerShell registry path inside a single-quoted bash $SCRIPT again -> 'Windows NT' path space broke the read. Fix is known (double-quotes inside). Rule from feedback_windows_quote_stripping not sticking under flow - consider always building PS scripts via a heredoc to a var, never inline single-quoted with embedded quotes.

The other session switched branches (fix/audit-cleanup -> bugfix/bug-019 -> detached) and repointed my branch ref mid-work, and the working tree ended up with BOTH sessions' uncommitted changes mixed together. Wasted a recovery cycle. FIX: when doing submodule feature work and other sessions may be live (the /save note warns 3-4 sessions share one tree), create an isolated 'git worktree add <path> origin/main' FIRST, do all edits + commit + push-by-SHA there, then 'worktree remove' — never rely on the shared checkout's branch/HEAD surviving.

One MEDIUM finding (500-body info-disclosure, 17 sites) was ALREADY FIXED in main (commit 58c1a96) — wasted a fix attempt on already-fixed code. FIX: before any audit/analysis that reads the working tree, assert the submodule HEAD == origin/main (git rev-parse HEAD vs origin/main); if behind, checkout origin/main first OR have agents read 'git show origin/main:<file>'. Always re-verify a finding against the real target ref before fixing.

2026-06-21 | Howard-Home | git/submodule | [friction] Commits in the guru-rmm submodule landed on a DETACHED HEAD: a feature branch created via 'git switch -c' kept getting reset to the recorded gitlink commit (likely background auto-sync running submodule checkout in the superproject), so the branch never advanced and 'git push -u origin <branch>' pushed the stale ref. Wasted a full re-diagnose+rebuild cycle. FIX: in submodules under auto-sync, don't trust local branch refs survive across tool calls. Commit, capture sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD), cherry-pick onto the known base if detached, and push by EXPLICIT sha: 'git push origin <sha>:refs/heads/<branch>'; then VERIFY with 'git ls-remote origin <branch>' and a server-side worktree build.

2026-06-17 | Howard-Home | unifi-wifi/apply-radio | [friction] per-AP --apply loop: each call re-logs-in to the controller; rapid succession throttles -> write silently skips (no [ok]). Fix: space calls (sleep 3-4) or add multi-AP/one-login support

2026-06-17 | Howard-Home | wiki-compile | [friction] full recompile Sonnet subagent ran ~54min then crashed on 32k output cap (tried to emit the ~490-line article despite being told to write-to-file and return only a summary); recovered via direct surgical Edits to the existing article. Fix: for --full on large existing articles, prefer targeted Edit integration over a subagent rewrite, or hard-cap/forbid article body in the subagent reply. [ctx: skill=wiki-compile target=client:cascades-tucson]

2026-06-17 | GURU-5070 | grok/ask-grok.sh | [correction] blindly probed grok with slow timed runs to find the xsearch syntax instead of reading its bundled docs (~/.grok/docs/user-guide/ + README.md) / interviewing the model first; the docs gave the root cause directly (web_search=grok-4.20-multi-agent multi-agent model, killed by --no-subagents) [ctx: ref=feedback_interview_ai_read_docs]

2026-06-17 | GURU-5070 | syncro/customer-comment | [friction] posted a customer-facing emailed comment to #32333 WITHOUT previewing for human review first; preview-before-send is mandatory for ALL outgoing comms [ctx: ref=CLAUDE.md syncro 'Before any POST: Always show the full payload and wait for confirmation']

2026-06-17 | GURU-5070 | syncro/customer-comment | [correction] conflated Arizona Medical Transit (AMT-PC, Windows: Dell bloatware + misbehaving Syncro agent) cleanup into the Scileppi Mac (#32333) customer comment; Scileppi was a full-disk/Trash + Mail + Downloads-redesign job, no Dell/agent work [ctx: ticket=32333 mac=scileppi]

2026-06-16 | GURU-5070 | rmm/shell-quoting | [friction] shutdown /r /t 60 /c "comment" FAILED via command_type=shell: embedded double-quotes in the command got mangled through the agent cmd layer, shutdown rejected the args and dumped usage. Fix: avoid embedded double-quotes in RMM shell commands (drop /c, or build the quoted arg another way) [ctx: ref=bash/curl.exe-on-windows quote-stripping; agent=AMT-PC; cmd=shutdown]

2026-06-16 | GURU-5070 | syncro/billing | [friction] billed AMT as non-prepaid off the customer-SEARCH endpoint prepay=null; real prepay (detail endpoint) was 7.0 -> invoice correctly netted $0 via block, but I set the wrong (upsell) invoice note. Always read prepay from /customers/{id} detail, not the list/search [ctx: ref=syncro_invoice_verification_pattern;cust=7088349]

Probe not PS2/legacy-compatible -> can't diagnose Win7/2008R2 legacy agents (first hit: AMT-PC)

2026-06-16 | GURU-5070 | mailprotector/starrpass | [correction] assumed starrpass.com was on Mailprotector; correct: starrpass.com is direct-to-MS (EOP/Defender) - Starr Pass MP account 16170 covers ONLY devconllc.com. Check @starrpass.com mail via remediation-tool/EOP

2026-06-16 | GURU-5070 | mailprotector | HTTP 404 POST https://emailservice.io/api/v1/users/find_by_address: "Not found" [ctx: cmd=find-user]

2026-06-16 | Howard-Home | bash/curl.exe-on-windows | [friction] PowerShell-invoked curl.exe strips embedded double-quotes from --data-urlencode args (CommandLineToArgvW), silently mangling POST bodies; pfSense PHP became 'echo PHPRUNS-OK' -> 'Undefined constant'. Fix: write payloads with single-quotes only, build $ via [char]36, keep one line. [ctx: ref=pfsense diag_command.php php-exec; cost=4 wasted RMM round-trips]

2026-06-16 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool/get-token | [friction] get-token.sh reads vault_path from ~/.claude/identity.json (home), which lacks the field on this machine; repo identity.json (.claude/identity.json) has it. Fix: export VAULT_ROOT_ENV=$(jq -r .vault_path .claude/identity.json) before calling get-token [ctx: ref=remediation-tool;machine=GURU-5070]

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | rmm/quickbooks-folderbrowser | [correction] assumed F:FolderRedirection was a dead/missing drive (Test-Path F: = False under SYSTEM); correct: F: is a per-user NETWORK-mapped redirected folder, invisible to the SYSTEM context RMM runs in - must diagnose mapped-drive/redirect issues in user_session

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | rmm | ProfWiz Pro silent-install command returned 'Execution error: Failed to execute command' (status failed, no stdout) on SP-SharonW11 [ctx: agent=86de13d7 host=SP-SharonW11 task=upw-install]

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool (Starr Pass licensing) | [correction] reported Brian Shinn's account as DELETED (tied it to the recycle-bin bshinn@ from 6/10 onboarding); actually Mike UNLICENSED Brian in M365 - account not deleted. Don't conflate a soft-deleted recycle-bin entry with the user's recent action; check the ACTIVE account's assignedLicenses for an unlicense

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | graduation-pipeline (BEAST Ollama) | [friction] BEAST Ollama ran inference on CPU (api/ps showed qwen3:32b AND qwen3:14b with vram=0); 32b timed out at 240s, 14b at 175s. GPU not engaged - the 'use BEAST GPU' premise needs a BEAST-side Ollama GPU config/driver fix before large-model triage is practical

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | graduation-pipeline (BEAST env) | [friction] assumed BEAST uses WSL because 'bash' there resolved to the WindowsApps WSL stub (uname said WSL2). BEAST runs the harness under Git-for-Windows MSYS bash like other Windows boxes; reach its Ollama via localhost (Git-bash) or the Tailscale IP. REPEAT of the documented WSL-stub-vs-Git-bash gotcha [ctx: ref=feedback_windows_bash_mapping]

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | tmp-promotion-check (/save,/scc) | [friction] hung for minutes: line 51 ran 'grep -rqlF <f> projects/' per scratch file, recursing Rust target/, node_modules/, .git in the guru-rmm/guru-connect submodules. Fixed: --include='*.md' + --exclude-dir for heavy trees. Stalled the /save sync behind it

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | memory-dream (--apply-safe) | flagged feedback_broken_backlinks_are_writeme_markers.md as an orphan and appended a DUPLICATE index line though it already had one — orphan detector likely keys on the frontmatter name: slug, not the (file.md) link target. Fix the index-line matching to compare by filename [ctx: mode=apply-safe]

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | powershell/var-case | [friction] PowerShell vars are case-INSENSITIVE: $gUid silently overwrote $guid (GPO id), Set-ADObject hit a bad DN and left GPT.ini/AD versionNumber inconsistent until fixed. Never rely on case to distinguish PS variables

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | python/argv-limit | [friction] passed full /api/agents JSON (248 agents) as a python CLI arg -> 'Argument list too long' on Windows. Pipe large payloads via stdin, not argv

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | bash/env-persist | [friction] re-derived RMM token every call after $TOKEN/$RMM vanished between Bash tool calls - shell env does NOT persist across calls; must re-eval auth (or chain) in the same command

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | bash/tmp-path | [friction] wrote curl -o /tmp/x.json then jq read it back and failed (No such file) - Git-Bash vs Write/tool /tmp resolve differently. Pipe directly or use repo-relative paths. REPEAT of documented gotcha [ctx: ref=feedback_tmp_path_windows]

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | DMARC / DNS | [correction] assumed ACG's own INKY rua convention (reports-sg.inkydmarc.com) applied to a client domain; only use the INKY rua if THAT client is onboarded to INKY - otherwise plain p=none or a real mailbox

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | remediation-tool (sendMail) | [correction] assumed none of the consented apps could send mail and started granting Graph Mail.Send; the Exchange Operator app ALREADY had Graph Mail.Send - I was decoding the EXO-audience token, not a Graph-audience token. Mint a Graph token for the app before concluding a permission is missing

2026-06-15 | GURU-5070 | rmm-search | [correction] assumed the CLI search must replicate the UI Omnibox scoreMatch exactly; user wants a FLEXIBLE forgiving multi-field search optimized for first-try correctness, not UI parity


2026-06-15 | GURU-BEAST-ROG | /syncro (comment edit) | Syncro API does not expose a comment-edit or comment-delete endpoint — once posted, comments can only be modified via the GUI. Bot posted an internal resolution note with an unwanted "Performed by: ClaudeTools Discord Bot" line and could not remove it programmatically. Remediation needed: either suppress bot-attribution lines from internal notes by default, or add a GUI-edit step to the workflow when the note needs correction.

2026-06-14 | GURU-5070 | mailbox skill (Graph token) | FABB app `fabb3421` (Claude-MSP-Access / "Cloud MSP Access") token request returned AADSTS700016 — app/SP no longer present in azcomputerguru.com tenant (deleted; gotchas.md already marked it deprecated). Blocks /mailbox + the M365 contacts task. Verified the remediation suite (live, ACG tenant) carries NO Mail.Send/Mail.ReadWrite/Contacts scopes (investigator has Mail.Read only) — so a straight repoint can't restore mailbox-send/contacts. Pending Mike decision: stand up a single-tenant ACG-internal mailbox app vs. add scopes to a suite tier. [2026-06-15] Docs hardened — gotchas.md now marks fabb3421 DELETED with the Mail/Contacts-scope blast radius + flags the 3 legacy "old app only" tenants (Valleywide/Dataforth/Cascades) as now having NO working remediation app (migration URGENT); mailbox.md carries a BLOCKED/AADSTS700016 banner. DECISION 2026-06-15 (Mike): Mail.Send goes into the suite (Exchange Operator tier) since its real use is IR victim-notification during mailbox takeovers; add Mail.Send to the exchange-op manifest + consent, repoint mailbox.md to exchange-op. Implementation not yet executed (production app change, needs go).

2026-06-14 | GURU-KALI | coord skill (coord.py) | Documented invocation `py .claude/skills/coord/scripts/coord.py ...` failed exit 127 — `py` (the Windows py-launcher) does not exist on Linux. Worked around with `python3`. [RESOLVED 2026-06-14] Added `.claude/scripts/py.sh` (resolves the working interpreter: identity.json `python.command` -> py -> python3 -> python, skipping the MS Store shim) and repointed all skill/command DOC invocations from bare `py` to `bash "$CLAUDETOOLS_ROOT/.claude/scripts/py.sh"`. The `.sh` skill scripts already resolved internally — left untouched. Broadcast to fleet.

2026-06-14 | GURU-BEAST-ROG | coord skill (coord.py msg send) | `py "$CLAUDETOOLS_ROOT/.claude/skills/coord/scripts/coord.py"` failed — `$CLAUDETOOLS_ROOT` is not exported in fresh Git-bash shells here, so the path resolved under `C:\Program Files\Git\`. [RESOLVED 2026-06-14] Added `.claude/scripts/ensure-settings-env.py` (seeds `env.CLAUDETOOLS_ROOT` in per-machine `settings.local.json` from `identity.json`); Claude Code injects it into every Bash call. Wired into ONBOARDING.md + broadcast to fleet. Effective next session start.

2026-06-14 | GURU-BEAST-ROG | /sync (sync.sh Phase 3, submodule update) | submodule `projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm` checkout of f38da05 aborted: untracked `docs/RMM_THOUGHTS.md` would be overwritten. Parent repo synced fine; submodule pointer left lagging. Recurring transient. [RESOLVED 2026-06-15] sync.sh now has `resolve_submodule_collisions()` — on the abort it moves only the untracked files the incoming commit tracks aside to `<file>.synced-aside-<UTCstamp>` (content preserved, NOT --force) then retries once. Verified live: guru-rmm advanced ed92097->f38da05; the aside copy held 94 lines of un-committed 2026-06-08 thoughts (rescued, not lost — needs manual merge into canonical RMM_THOUGHTS.md).
2026-06-16 | HOWARD-HOME | unifi-wifi/device-control.sh provision | cmd/devmgr force-provision returned HTTP 400 (mac 0c:ea:14:3f:40:6d / AP 445); verb needs fix — likely wrong cmd name or requires device _id not mac. block/kick/locate via stamgr work; adopt/restart/upgrade unverified.
