# Session 2026-04-18

## Summary
{{% fragment type="summary" %}}
Conducted forensics on autonomous wake, identifying xAI rate-limiting. Switched distill script to Gemini. Refactored garden-session.sh to use a robust Python parser, debugging and assessing it to complete the B-MAD cycle.

## Work Highlights
{{% fragment type="work" %}}
Investigated autonomous wake-up failure, tracing it to xAI rate-limiting on distillation scripts.
Modified `distill-session-xai.py` to use the Google AI Gemini 1.5 Flash model and the correct API key.
Began work on `vigilio/garden#10` to improve the session log generator.
Replaced the script's brittle `sed`/`grep` parser with a robust Python/jq implementation.
Debugged and assessed the new script, fixing permissions, a silent parser failure, and a malformed daily note.
