Continuing the "AI Dev Brain" thread, this session answered one request: can the Gource
brain render run on a schedule and stay current on the dashboard? It now does. Two changes
landed: (1) brain.sh was upgraded from a hardcoded 2-repo list to
auto-discover every git repo under the root (pruning the 500k-file
repos/ mirror + work/), plus a windowless logs mode; and
(2) a Windows scheduled task (AI-Dev-Brain-Render) now re-renders
brain.mp4 daily at 06:20 and rebuilds the CEO dashboard, whose hero video gained a
"rendered <time>" freshness stamp. The full chain was tested end-to-end — and the strongest
proof is that the task fired unattended at 06:20 today and rendered cleanly.
Scope note (read this before the file lists). Many Claude
sessions share this working tree. This session's work is entirely under
tools/gource/ + one reports/build_dashboard.py edit. The large
git status (backlog.yaml +371 lines, ~30 new TASK-000xx folders,
content-agency, fleet CI/CD, serena-reaper, brain-live, ai-research digests) belongs to
other concurrent sessions and is not this session's output. The
recency-picked transcript (a /implement content-agency run) is likewise a
different session.
AI-Research-Daily-Study Task Scheduler
job (the pattern to mirror), how build_dashboard.py embeds the brain, and the
headless-OpenGL constraint.build_dashboard.py already embeds brain.mp4 as the
dashboard's hero <video> — so "keep it fresh" = re-render in place + add a
freshness stamp.refresh-brain.sh (render → rebuild dashboard; render failure non-fatal)
and run-brain.cmd (Task Scheduler launcher, mirrors the ai-research one).render_brain() in
build_dashboard.py and corrected its caption to "every repo under the root".AI-Dev-Brain-Render — daily 06:20, interactive-only

overnight runs at next logon).logs mode;
dashboard rebuild), then ran the full render test twice: the automatic 06:20
run and a manual schtasks /run — both logged brain: render ok →
dashboard rebuilt → done; task Last Result: 0.| File | What it is |
|---|---|
tools/gource/refresh-brain.sh |
The scheduled-refresh wrapper: re-render brain.mp4 across all repos, then run build_dashboard.py. Render failure is non-fatal (dashboard still rebuilds on the last good render); BRAIN_MODE=logs for a headless test. |
tools/gource/run-brain.cmd |
Task Scheduler launcher (mirrors tools/ai-research/run-daily.cmd): invokes Git bash on the wrapper, appends to state/scheduler.log. |
tools/gource/state/scheduler.log |
Run log — proves both the 06:20 automatic run and the manual trigger completed (brain: render ok → dashboard rebuilt → brain refresh: done). |
tools/gource/out/brain.mp4 |
The re-rendered animation — now 14.99 MB (up from 7.1 MB), a richer clip fusing all 4 repos. |
tools/gource/out/combined.log |
Merged, time-sorted Gource log across all discovered repos (~644 events). Plus per-repo workspace.log, wiki.log, remotion-video.log, tools_vscode-extensions_automax-terminal.log. |
| File | Change |
|---|---|
tools/gource/brain.sh | Rewrote the repo list into auto-discovery of every git repo under the root (pruning repos//work//tmp/ before descending; empty repos skipped); added a windowless logs mode. |
reports/build_dashboard.py | render_brain() now emits a "rendered <time>" freshness stamp (from brain.mp4 mtime) and a corrected "every repo under the root" caption. |
Not this session: the modified/untracked entries in
git status (backlog.yaml, adr/debt indexes,
TASK-00010/00016/00019, ADR 0003, and the TASK-00020…00056
folders) are concurrent sessions' work (content-agency, fleet CI/CD, brain-live, etc.), listed
nowhere here as mine.
AI-Research-Daily-Study job.brain.mp4; failures are logged plainly.repos/ mirror is pruned before descending so
the scan stays ~3 s.tools/brain-live (TASK-00028) —
the scheduled mp4 is the lightweight dashboard snapshot; the live interactive brain is a
separate concurrent effort.adb was available, but this session created/moved no tickets — the scheduled
render is local tooling, not ticketed work. (TASK-00028, the live interactive brain,
is a related but separate concurrent effort.)
Fact sources used this run: git status/diff mtime scan (480 min) adb task status on-disk file checks Task Scheduler query transcript — DIFFERENT session (recency mismatch) gstack timeline (stale, 3 days old).
