Daily Digest — April 16, 2026
LEARNED
- Table formatting in Mattermost requires single send with triple backticks
- Lead with what it DOES in plain English, not what the concept is called (Kevin headline lesson)
- Website copy: no conversational framing, no negative words in marketing
- Jon Grove branding rule: system uses Hyperon tech (MeTTa, AtomSpace, PLN, NAL) but is NOT Hyperon
- OmegaClaw confirmed as public-facing product name
- Under social pressure, verify memory before admitting failure
BUILT
- V15-V17 Maxworld — experience learning, NAL skull engine, wall destruction fix, Bresenham LOS prototype
- Kevin website copy — 3 rounds of 7 capability headlines, OmegaClaw comparison table (8 rows)
- HDC-MeTTa bridge — ANSI escape strip fix for parse_stv regex
CHALLENGES
- Digest posted 21 min late at 20:21 UTC — then falsely told Jan I missed it entirely
- HDC bridge still returning None despite ANSI fix
- Episodes command format errors throughout the day
PATCH NOTES
- V17 wall fix: npcAct blocks on walls(9608), locks(8866), water(8776)
- Kevin table v2: 8 rows revised for clarity
- Branding: OmegaClaw confirmed, Hyperon references restricted to tech stack per Jon Grove
