Session Summary

Continuation of yesterday's session. Synced Howard's work, reviewed AT Trebesch client onboard, created Howard's GuruRMM account, set up shared work items board, added TickTick tasks, and bulk-closed 179 stale Syncro tickets.

Work Completed

1. Sync + Howard's work review

Pulled 2 commits from Howard (ACG-TECH03L):

  • 273342e — sync at 21:02
  • 68153cf — sync at 23:51

AT Trebesch — new client onboarded by Howard:

  • 15 files, 626 lines — full client documentation structure
  • 1 user, 1 desktop (DESKTOP-QNP3ON5, Lenovo Ryzen 7 250, Win 11 Home 25H2), no server, WORKGROUP
  • Audit via workstation_audit.ps1 v2.0.2
  • Critical findings: Owner account passwordless, dual AV (Bitdefender + Malwarebytes), Secure Boot disabled, Win 11 Home (not Pro)
  • High findings: Defender Tamper Protection off, no ASR rules, two MSP backdoor accounts (guru + localadmin), 85% memory, NETLOGON errors
  • Files at clients/at-trebesch/ (overview, workstations, reports, network/, cloud/, security/, rmm/, issues/)

Cascades Tucson — Howard's continued work:

  • clients/cascades-tucson/CONTEXT.md — new client context
  • clients/cascades-tucson/scripts/fix-live-shellfolders.ps1 — shell folders fix
  • clients/cascades-tucson/scripts/hive-cleanup-shellfolders.ps1 — registry hive cleanup
  • Full session log: clients/cascades-tucson/session-logs/2026-04-17-howard-cascades-onboarding-and-folder-redirection.md

Howard also read and cleared .claude/messages/for-howard.md (GuruRMM access + Cascades Synology request acknowledged).

2. SAGE-SQL session manager — deferred from yesterday

Files committed yesterday, deployment blocked by VPN issues (SSH/WinRM/RMM all timed out). Network recovered later but deployment postponed. Files at clients/dataforth/session-manager/Default.aspx + web.config. On WORKITEMS.md for today/tomorrow.

3. Shared work items board (WORKITEMS.md) — created yesterday

Created and committed WORKITEMS.md at repo root. Howard updated it in his sync (8 lines changed). Both team members using it.

4. Howard's GuruRMM account — created

Created platform-level admin account via direct database INSERT (no admin user creation API exists yet).

Process:

  1. SSH to 172.16.3.30 as guru
  2. pip3 install argon2-cffi (user install)
  3. Hashed password with PasswordHasher(memory_cost=19456, time_cost=2, parallelism=1) — must match server's Argon2 params
  4. INSERT INTO users via psql
  5. Verified login returns 200 OK with JWT

Gotcha discovered: Python argon2-cffi defaults to m=65536,t=3,p=4. The Rust argon2 crate (v0.5) does NOT verify hashes with different cost parameters even though params are encoded in the hash string. Must match the server's params exactly (m=19456,t=2,p=1). Also: CONTEXT.md anti-patterns mention /tmp/hash_password utility on the server — should have used that instead.

Instructions pushed to .claude/messages/for-howard.md — Howard read and cleared them.

5. TickTick integration — verified + tasks added

TickTick MCP integration tested and working. 17 projects returned. Created 2 tasks in "Tasks" project for today:

  • Cascades file search
  • Review Engineering docs for Dataforth and send them

6. Syncro bulk ticket closure — 179 tickets

Closed all "New" status tickets created before January 26, 2026.

Stats:

  • 179 total tickets closed, 0 errors
  • 14 invoice reminder auto-replies → closed silently (hidden internal note, do_not_email: true)
  • 164 real tickets → closed with customer-facing comment + email
  • 1 test ticket (#29256, Oct 2023) → closed first as proof of concept
  • Date range: October 2023 through January 23, 2026

Boilerplate message (emailed to customers):

"This ticket is being closed due to age. If this issue still requires attention, please reply to this message or call us at (520) 304-8300 and we will reopen it immediately."

API discovery: PUT /tickets/{id} accepts comment_subject, comment_body, comment_hidden, comment_do_not_email fields alongside status — single call for comment + status change. This is what the Syncro web GUI does internally.

Invoice reminder pattern matched:

(Re:|RE:|Automatic reply:).*Arizona Computer Guru LLC.*Invoice

Rate limiting: 0.4s delay between calls (~150 req/min, under 180 limit). Total runtime ~72 seconds for 178 tickets.

7. GuruRMM status review

Reviewed current state from CONTEXT.md for user:

  • v0.6.0 deployed, Phase 1 (tunnel) complete
  • Phase 2 (channels) pending — priority list: tunnel status 403 fix → OS-native logging → tunnel subscriber → multi-tenancy schema → terminal channel → client event pull
  • Server migration 5 sqlx checksum drift still blocking new builds
  • 2/6 agents online (AD2 + workstation)

Topic: Claude Code model selection + complexity routing system

What was discussed

  1. Model selection in Claude Code — confirmed it is always manual (no automatic complexity-based switching). Options: /model, --model flag, ANTHROPIC_MODEL env var, settings.json. The opusplan alias is the closest to automatic — uses Opus for planning phase, then switches to Sonnet for execution.

  2. Sub-agent complexity detection — confirmed we had NO complexity-based model routing for spawned agents. Existing behavior: rule-based routing by operation type, >500 token delegation threshold, a few hardcoded Haiku hints in AGENT_QUICK_REFERENCE.md for documentation-squire.

What was built

New file: .claude/COMPLEXITY_ROUTING.md

Full 3-tier scoring rubric for sub-agent model selection:

  • Tier 1 (Haiku): lookup, format, summarize, doc — no code changes
  • Tier 2 (inherit/Sonnet): standard code, DB, tests, git — most work
  • Tier 3 (Opus): architecture, security, ambiguous failures, production risk

Bump rule: if request contains security, auth, token, credential, migration, production, race condition, data loss, breach, encrypt → bump one tier up regardless.

Updated: .claude/CLAUDE.md

Inserted "Model Routing (Complexity-Based)" section in the coordinator block, just before Coordination Flow. Compact routing table + bump rule inline. References COMPLEXITY_ROUTING.md for full detail.

Files modified

  • .claude/COMPLEXITY_ROUTING.md — new file, full rubric
  • .claude/CLAUDE.md — coordinator section updated with routing table
