Had to fight with flows in Directus. The agent was struggling and failed then I helped it, but finally we succeeded.

Field notes, experiments, and the occasional rant. A log of what I'm learning, breaking, and building — plus the random stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.

--> allCodinglog is live end-to-end. I capture notes via Telegram; Hermes writes each one to the Obsidian vault as markdown and publishes it to Directus through a scoped author role. The full pipeline works.

Backup setup testing done on test server. Next: deploy the restic backup setup on the real VPS where Hermes runs. On it today.

Not worried about SQLite page-torn for now. The backup covers MD files fine, and SQLite consistency will be handled when DB backup gets its proper phase later. Current phase: file backup only, ship it.
