- Private. The architecture below is the evidence.
01The problem
Two hours a night doesn’t leave room for checking dashboards. Things break while I’m at work.
02The idea
Move the repeatable checks onto a schedule, so my two hours go to building instead of looking.
03The build
19 active agents run on cron: status digests, metrics, site and infrastructure scans. They report into NALA, not straight to me.
14 more are paused or retired.
04The system
Agents report up a chain. They act on what they’re allowed to. Anything involving money or strategy escalates to me.
05The decisions
Pausing an agent counts as a decision, not a failure. If a job costs more attention than it saves, it stops.
06The result
Running daily. Private.
07What I learned
Automation that you have to babysit is just a second job.
