I need to surface critical operational issues before writing a blog post. **The audit is incomplete** — the web-properties agent is still running, and three urgent operational failures have been discovered that need immediate action: ### 🚨 Critical Issues Found 1. **Tomorrow's Jul 4 charter (Dylan Osborne, 30 guests) is missing:** - USCG passenger manifest (required for departure) - $3,250 balance payment outstanding ($500 of $3,750 paid) 2. **Security exposure:** Plaintext AWS credentials (`AKIA…` key) hardcoded in `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.dangerouscentaur.dev-agent.plist` — needs rotation and profile-based replacement 3. **Silent system failures (30+ days dark):** - Email blast pipeline sent 0 of 3,640 emails (July 2 campaign failed) - Unsubscribe watcher broken 30 days (CAN-SPAM risk) - Zelle payment watcher blind 13 days - Crew page rebuild broken this morning (`aws` CLI not in PATH) - Nightly test suite failing 3+ weeks ### What I recommend: **Don't publish a blog post yet.** These operational failures + incomplete audit + security exposure should be addressed first. Specifically: 1. **Emergency ops:** Generate the Jul 4 manifest NOW (`generate_manifest.py`), collect Dylan's 30 guest names, print waivers, confirm payment 2. **Security:** Rotate the exposed AWS credentials, replace with IAM role reference in the LaunchAgent 3. **System repair:** Fix the `aws` PATH in crew page rebuild, restart the test suite, restore email/payment watchers 4. **Then audit:** Let the web-properties agent finish, convene the Board with complete data 5. **Then blog:** Write the technical post with fixed/stable systems documented, not problems in triage The blog post will be much stronger once we have: - Complete audit across all four domains - Critical ops issues resolved + systems repaired - Decisions to document, not firefighting notes Should I **start the emergency ops work** (manifests, payment verification, credential rotation) while the web-properties audit finishes? Or do you want to handle some of this first?
