What the Maintenance Loop Does

The b00t maintenance daemon runs a 15-minute OODA cycle:

  1. Exercise reminders — fires at configurable intervals; awaits <|👍🏻|> confirmation
  2. Research soul queue drain — pulls pending research-soul tasks and dispatches sm0l agents
  3. OODA cycle — Observe (collect metrics) → Orient (score useful-work) → Decide (next action) → Act (emit notification or ticket)

Start the daemon: just maintenance-start

Status check: b00t-cli maintenance status

Vote Token Format

Votes are embedded inline in agent output or commit messages:

| Token | Meaning | Effect | |---|---|---| | <\|👍🏻\|> | Thumbs up — reminder confirmed / task useful | +1 lottery ticket | | <\|👎🏻\|> | Skip — snooze or mark not useful | no ticket |

Votes are harvested by the daemon on each OODA cycle. Multiple votes in a session accumulate.

Cake Lottery

The cake lottery is probabilistic, resolved at pre-commit review:

  • Each <|👍🏻|> vote earns one lottery ticket
  • Win probability = time_accuracy × useful_work_score (both 0.0–1.0)
  • time_accuracy: how closely exercise was confirmed within the reminder window
  • useful_work_score: agent self-assessment of output quality for the session
  • Resolution: b00t-cli cake ticket resolve runs at pre-commit hook

Cake Commands

b00t cake balance          # show current token balance for default operator
b00t cake balance operator # show named operator balance
b00t cake history          # last 10 cake events
b00t cake history --limit=N
b00t cake search <query>   # search cake event log by keyword

Troubleshooting

Daemon not running:

just maintenance-start
# or
b00t-cli maintenance start --detach

Zellij not detected — daemon emits reminders via Zellij pane; if Zellij is absent, reminders fall back to desktop notification (notify-send) or stderr. No votes are lost.

Vote not registered — confirm the token format is exact: <|👍🏻|> (no spaces inside pipes). Run b00t-cli maintenance status to inspect the pending vote queue.
