Problem

The philosophy journal (~/philosophy-journal.md) has accumulated formatting artifacts from terminal execution:

JOURNAL_ENTRY; __hermes_rc=$?; printf '__HERMES_FENCE_a9f7b3__'; exit $__hermes_rc

These fence markers appear between entries because the append operation leaks shell scaffolding into the file. There are also duplicate --- separators and inconsistent spacing.

Proposed Fix

  1. One-time cleanup: strip all fence artifacts from the journal
  2. Update the loop prompt to use patch tool (append mode) or write_file with explicit read-then-append logic, not shell echo >> which leaks execution context
  3. Standardize the entry format — every entry should look exactly like:
---

[Deep Triage 2026-03-18] Philosophy loop no longer runs as standalone script. These improvements are moot.
