+## Update: 20:28 MST — Persisted ScreenConnect API auth (vault + memory)
+
+### Session Summary
+
+Following the Dataforth cleanup, persisted the reverse-engineered ScreenConnect RESTful API auth so it does not have to be re-derived. Updated the vault note `msp-tools/screenconnect.sops.yaml` (`notes` field) via `sops set` from the vault root, documenting the exact working scheme, the only valid method, and the enumeration limitation. Created a new shared memory reference `reference_screenconnect_api.md`, indexed it in `MEMORY.md`, and linked it to `[[reference_acg_msp_stack]]`. Both repos synced and pushed.
+
+### Key Decisions
+
+- Stored the auth in BOTH the vault note (where the `bitdefender`/ScreenConnect-style skills look) and repo memory (where recall surfaces it) — the vault note is the operational source, memory is the discovery hook.
+- Recorded the blank-`Name`/limited-visibility caveat prominently so a future session does not assume the API can enumerate a full client inventory (it cannot).
+
+### Configuration Changes
+
+- `D:/vault/msp-tools/screenconnect.sops.yaml` — `notes` field rewritten via `sops set '["notes"]'` (re-encrypted in place).
+- `C:/claudetools/.claude/memory/reference_screenconnect_api.md` — created.
+- `C:/claudetools/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md` — appended one index line.
+
+### Credentials & Secrets
+
+- No new secret values. Vault note `msp-tools/screenconnect.sops.yaml` now carries the verified auth recipe (header `CTRLAuthHeader: <raw api_secret>`, no Basic/b64, + `Origin` header). Secret values unchanged.
+
+### Commands & Outputs
+
+```bash
+# update encrypted notes field (run from vault root)
+cd D:/vault
+NEW=$(python -c 'import json;print(json.dumps("...note text..."))')
+sops set msp-tools/screenconnect.sops.yaml '["notes"]' "$NEW"   # exit=0
+sops decrypt msp-tools/screenconnect.sops.yaml | grep '^notes:'  # verified
+```
+
+### Pending / Incomplete Tasks
+
+- Unchanged from the main log: Howard's 5-step coord todo tree under `clients/dataforth` (GUI-delete the 28, decide the 9 verify, fix the 21 agents, move to metered billing, reply to Winter).
+
+### Reference Information
+
+- Vault commit: `297dc9c..bbd8b30` (vault repo).
+- ClaudeTools HEAD after first save: `bba57a1`; after this update: see post-commit summary below.
+- Memory file: `.claude/memory/reference_screenconnect_api.md`.
