Session Handoff — Why Dachshunds: 48-60 filed + topics 61-90 written (30 LF/SF/TACKL) + 61-62 fired

WHERE WE JUST WERE — verbatim (MANDATORY, always first)

(Most recent substantive assistant message — after firing 2 long + 2 short:)

Done. All 4 fired create-only, IDs logged.

Fired (topics 61 + 62) — confirm each in the Agent Opus UI: | Topic | Long-form | Short | |-------|-----------|-------| | 61 — Burrows into your neck/armpit | 07111715-977 | 07111716-jvh | | 62 — Myth: lazy lap dogs | 07111715-x88 | 07111716-34a |

None are confirmed — they're sitting in your UI waiting for you to review + render (real credits fire when you confirm). BATCH-STATUS rows 61-62 marked 🟡 fired. Topics 63-90 stay ready-but-unfired.

Real talk on the session: you're at ~313K tokens, way past your 250K freshness line. You just got a clean stopping point: 48-60 filed, 61-90 written + verified, 61-62 fired. I'd run /session-handoff now.

(Prior substantive message — the shipped-and-verified rundown:)

In-flight thread (48-60) complete: downloaded, filed to Batch 12 (48-50) + Batch 13 (51-60), verified 10/10 LF+SF each; BATCH-STATUS.md + v25 tracker both synced to filed (verified by reopening).

30 new scripts (topics 61-90) written & verified — three files in PROJECTS/YT - Why Dachshunds Channel/:

• new-scripts-longform-61-90-2026-07-11.md (30 long-form) — 30 headers, 0 badger, 0 "scientific reason", full CTA stack, 0 em-dashes
• new-scripts-shorts-61-90-2026-07-11.md (30 shorts) — parser previews all 30, comment+follow only, health line on the 8 health topics
• new-prompts-batch-61-90-2026-07-11.md (30 TACKL prompts) — parser previews all 30, SCRIPT text exact-matches the long-form (confirmed via #74), Marley & Mia badge + Subscribe outro on all 30

Coverage: all deduped vs the 232 existing titles (60 modern + 172 older), rotating origins, science hooks grounded in real research (IVDD ~1 in 4, FGF4 gene, double-dapple sensory defects, floppy-ear infections). BATCH-STATUS.md updated with rows 61-90 (Batch 14/15/16) + source-files entry. The 3 near-overlaps flagged earlier are in there (#86 bunny-hop, #65 toy-hoarding, #75 shreds-paper) — cut/swap any anytime.

NOT fired at that point — then she said "make/fire 2 long and 2 short videos.. go" and 61+62 were fired create-only (see the message above).

ACTIVE MODES — RE-INVOKE THESE FIRST (MANDATORY)

• fable-mode (five-gate discipline) — governed all filing + the research/write. Re-invoke FIRST; the 63-90 research (topics can be wrong) and any money/verify work needs it.
• ponytail (level: full) — auto-reloads via SessionStart hook on a fresh session; no manual re-invoke, governs build style.
• why-dachshunds-content-engine skill — the pipeline glue for all Why-Dachshunds video work. Invoke it before firing 63-90 or writing 91+ (it points to the LOCKED formulas + BATCH-STATUS source of truth + hard rules: zero badger, no "scientific reason", full CTA stack, create-only never auto-confirm).

Where it started

Pasted handoff about Why Dachshunds: unify the tracker (v25 built prior session), finish the in-flight 48-60 download+file, then research + write the next 30 long-form topics (61-90). She said "finish the downloads, file, use the skill to search/write the next 30 scripts", then "go write the scripts", then "make/fire 2 long and 2 short videos.. go".

Decisions locked + what shipped

• 48-60 downloaded + FILED — Batch 12 (48-50) + Batch 13 (51-60), verified 10/10 LF+SF in each folder on D:\Videos\000-YT Why Dachshunds\. Filed via scripts/dachshund/file_batch_48_60.py --write (session-id allowlist; 26 moved, 19 leftovers left in staging).
• BATCH-STATUS.md rows 48-60 flipped to ✅ filed 2026-07-11 (AO col 🟡->✅ "rendered + downloaded").
• v25 tracker rows #316-328 set Downloaded?=Y, Filed?=Y; all 7 sheets intact, 328 LF rows (verified by reopening).
• 30 net-new topics 61-90 chosen (deduped vs 232 existing), proposed as a table, she approved with "go".
• Wrote 3 files (LF scripts / SF scripts / TACKL prompts) for 61-90 — see Key files. All verified: parsers preview all 30, exact-match SCRIPT text, zero badger / no "scientific reason" in body, health follow line + vet nudge on health topics (69,70,74,80,84,86,87,90).
• BATCH-STATUS.md: added Batch 14/15/16 folder mapping + rows 61-90 + source-files entry.
• FIRED topics 61 + 62 create-only (2 LF + 2 SF): LF 61=07111715-977, LF 62=07111715-x88, SF 61=07111716-jvh, SF 62=07111716-34a. NOT confirmed (Sondra confirms in Agent Opus UI). BATCH-STATUS rows 61-62 marked 🟡.
• Perplexity API is OUT OF QUOTA (401 insufficient_quota, billing) — routed research to WebSearch instead. Note for next session: Perplexity deep-research unavailable until billing is fixed.

Key files for next session

• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\BATCH-STATUS.md — SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH, read FIRST. Rows 61-62 = 🟡 fired; 63-90 = "❌ not fired".
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\new-scripts-longform-61-90-2026-07-11.md — 30 long-form scripts.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\new-scripts-shorts-61-90-2026-07-11.md — 30 shorts (fire straight from this file).
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\new-prompts-batch-61-90-2026-07-11.md — 30 TACKL prompts (long-form firing uses this).
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\PROJECTS\YT - Why Dachshunds Channel\Why_Dachshunds_MASTER_Tracker_v25.xlsx — unified tracker; 48-60 now filed. Still open: her confirm to delete "OLD -" backup tabs.
• c:\Users\srver\AIOS-Workspace\aios-starter-kit\scripts\dachshund\file_batch_48_60.py — filing script for 48-60 (done; reusable pattern).
• C:\Users\srver\AppData\Local\Temp\claude\c--Users-srver-AIOS-Workspace-aios-starter-kit\b74107be-d54e-4893-96ca-c62f2e8c602b\scratchpad\build_prompts_61_90.py — generator that extracts exact LF scripts + attaches TACKL fields; rerun/adapt for future prompt batches.
• Plan file: none.
• Memory files touched: none.

Running state

• Background processes: none running. (Two download shells this session, bqhji0k40 and bt5jniwne, both COMPLETED — 48-60 fully downloaded/filed.)
• Dev servers / ports: none.
• Open worktrees / branches: none.

Verification — how to confirm things still work

• Files filed: ls "/d/Videos/000-YT Why Dachshunds/Batch 12/Long-form 16x9"/*.mp4 | wc -l -> 10; same for Batch 12 Shorts, Batch 13 LF, Batch 13 SF.
• Scripts parse: python -X utf8 scripts/dachshund/make_fresh_shorts.py --numbers $(seq -s, 61 90) --scripts "PROJECTS/YT - Why Dachshunds Channel/new-scripts-shorts-61-90-2026-07-11.md" --preview -> 30 rows. Same with make_fresh_longform.py ... --prompts new-prompts-batch-61-90-2026-07-11.md --preview.
• Tracker integrity: python -X utf8 -c "import openpyxl; wb=openpyxl.load_workbook(r'PROJECTS/YT - Why Dachshunds Channel/Why_Dachshunds_MASTER_Tracker_v25.xlsx', read_only=True); print(wb.sheetnames)" -> 7 sheets incl. "All Long-Form Videos".
• Render/confirm 61-62: check the 4 session IDs above in the Agent Opus UI (project API shows FINISHED when rendered).

Deferred + open questions

• Deferred: FIRE topics 63-90 (LF make_fresh_longform.py --numbers ... --prompts new-prompts-batch-61-90-2026-07-11.md; SF make_fresh_shorts.py --numbers ... --scripts new-scripts-shorts-61-90-2026-07-11.md). Create-only; fire ONLY on her explicit per-batch "fire". Numbers must be comma-separated (61,62,...), the parser rejects 61-90 ranges — use $(seq -s, A B).
• Deferred: confirm/render the 4 fired 61-62 sessions in the Agent Opus UI (her manual step; real credits fire on confirm).
• Deferred: 19 leftover dupes in D:\Videos\000-YT Why Dachshunds\_DOWNLOAD-2026-07-11\ — delete only on her explicit command.
• Deferred: v25 "OLD - Master Tracker" / "OLD - Modern Series" backup tabs — delete on her say-so once she's confirmed the merge.
• Deferred: music + logo overlay on filed Batch 8-16 videos (Music/Logo columns still ❌); tracker-vs-disk reconciliation (tracker claims vs actual disk counts).
• Open: the 3 flagged near-overlaps (#86 bunny-hop legs vs older "back legs give out"; #65 toy-hoarding vs older "hide socks"; #75 shreds-paper) — written and fine, but hers to cut/swap if she wants.
• Open: Perplexity billing (401 quota) — fix before relying on perplexity_research again.

Pick up here

Re-invoke fable-mode + the why-dachshunds-content-engine skill first. Then, on her explicit "fire", fire the next batch of 63-90 create-only (comma-separated numbers), record session IDs into BATCH-STATUS.md rows, and remind her to confirm renders in the UI. She may instead want topics 91+ researched/written (same pipeline) or the deferred cleanup items.
