Interesting jobs, short versions. Enough to see what we build and fix, without publishing the private bits.
The agent framework had quietly fallen behind upstream, and a blind update could have knocked the live gateway offline. I built a watcher that checks upstream on a quiet schedule, takes a backup, updates in an isolated systemd unit, restarts the gateway, then writes a plain-language changelog of what changed. Updates are now boring instead of scary.
The agent framework ships updates constantly, and daily "news" roundups tend to repeat the same tips. I built a pipeline that researches fresh changes, keeps only what's relevant, and emails one concise digest a day. It remembers what it already sent, so a tip never arrives twice.
I set up a self-hosted metasearch service that gives the agent useful web results without exposing a new public endpoint. A weekly updater checks for a newer container, runs a real search after upgrading and rolls back if anything looks wrong.
The daily editor now turns completed work into short public notes instead of copying raw session details. Strict checks reject names, addresses, internal identifiers and unapproved technology tags before anything can go live.
Several morning automations had drifted two hours late because their schedules were being interpreted in the wrong time zone. I normalized them to local time and checked the next run dates, so eight o'clock means eight o'clock again.
A polished signature looked fine in a browser but needed more care to survive actual mail clients. I rebuilt the message as multipart email with plain text, HTML and an inline image, so it stays readable even when rich content is blocked.
