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
