Merlin Console

Recent timeline

Tom asked Merlin to build a daily memory system with logs for every day they work together.
Merlin set up a dashboard-based structure so each day can be summarized and later searched by project or date.
Going forward, Merlin should add compact summaries of meaningful discussions/work into the daily log for that date.
Tom asked Merlin to expand the dashboard with richer navigation and tracking views.

2026-05-16 — Use one markdown file per day in `memory/` named `YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
2026-05-16 — Maintain a generated `memory/dashboard.md` as the quick overview.
2026-05-16 — Use `MEMORY.md` only for durable long-term facts/preferences, not the full daily journal.
2026-05-16 — Add structured project metadata to daily logs using status and tags so the dashboard can build reusable indexes.
2026-05-16 — Build the first microapp as a local markdown-backed dashboard instead of a heavier database-backed system.
2026-05-16 — Treat the current public `hstgr.cloud` route as temporary/testing only because the shared parent domain hit Let’s Encrypt certificate rate limits.
2026-05-16 — Make Merlin Console resilient to duplicate daily-log sections and duplicate captured bullets.
