-- URL: https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/issues/882
-- Created: 2026-04-06T15:28:38Z
-- **Done condition:** _Move this issue to a measurable next state (PR opened, test passing, blocker cleared, or documented failure mode)._
-
----
-
-## Today's Attack Plan
-
-### 1. Unblock (First 90 Minutes)
-- [ ] Address the North Star issue directly. No meetings, no yak shaving.
-- [ ] If blocked on external input, escalate in Timmy Time with specific ask.
-
-### 2. Burn Down (Next 2 Hours)
-- [ ] #1117 — [PROPOSAL] Conversation Artifacts System: Organized Alexander request/response rooms in MemPalace
-- [ ] #1116 — [SOVEREIGN DIRECTIVE] Every wizard must catalog Alexander's requests and responses as artifacts
-- [ ] #1115 — [MEMORY] MemPalace Status Report: 283 drawers indexed, zero-API semantic memory active
-
-### 3. Harden (Next 90 Minutes)
-- [ ] Advance one poka-yoke issue toward a structural prevention.
-- [ ] Run a security/reliability scan (world-readable secrets, stale heartbeats, dead runners).
-
-### 4. Report (End of Day)
-- [ ] Update this issue with what moved, what blocked, and tomorrow's North Star.
-- [ ] Ensure all closed work has a clear paper trail (commit, comment, or closure note).

-
-If the North Star is blocked and no burn-down items are actionable within 15 minutes:
-1. Check Night Watch logs for anything stale.
-2. Pick the oldest unassigned issue in the-nexus.
-3. If no issues exist, run `bezalel-forge-scan` and file findings.
-4. If still nothing, document infrastructure state and commit to reports repo.
