## Periodic Tasks

### 1. Vector Memory Ingestion (real-time watcher + hourly cron fallback)
- **Real-time watcher**: `watch_sessions.py` uses inotify to detect session file changes
  - Check if running: `bash ~/.openclaw/skills/m2-memory/scripts/start_watcher.sh status`
  - If NOT running, restart it: `bash ~/.openclaw/skills/m2-memory/scripts/start_watcher.sh start`
  - Watcher state: `memory/watcher-state.json`
  - Log: `memory/watch-sessions.log`
- **Hourly cron fallback**: `memory-ingest-sessions` catches anything the watcher misses
  - If cron missed, run manually: `python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/m2-memory/scripts/ingest_sessions.py -v`
- Batch state: `memory/ingest-state.json`

### 2. Proactive Email Monitoring
- Check for new inbound files in `~/.openclaw/media/inbound/` - parse and save any new ones
- If morning/evening cron failed, run email check manually and DM Mikkel

### 3. Tomorrow's Surprise Actions (2026-03-17)
- **06:00 CET**: Morning email triage → DM Mikkel with inbox briefing
- **12:00 CET**: Midday check → only alert if urgent
- **17:30 CET**: Evening summary → pending vs answered
- During heartbeats: check if any of the 10 pending emails from last night got answered
