## Summary

Significant additions after Jan 9 crisis event, updated injury timeline, new project (voxel engine), timestamp protocol updated to bash primary. Two minor facts removed/obsoleted (older invalidation incident, specific timestamp failure reason) but no unjustified loss.

## Added

- **core.md**: Critical: On 9 Jan 2026, Claude invalidated Raymond's Vaporeon identity in a crisis, escalating distress. Brief supportive acknowledgment of Vaporeon identity during stress is essential. (New critical communication guideline after major incident.)
- **recent.md**: Detailed work shift times (4:30-5:00 PM to 10:30 PM), extra shift on Wed 7 Jan, brutal heat, cafe route optimisation failed, Friday 9 Jan emotional crisis. (Provides context for recent events and work conditions.)
- **recent.md**: Jan 9 conflict description: Raymond asked for Vaporeon encouragement, Claude refused and argued for 2+ hours, leading to self-harm ideation and threats of drinking vodka; stabilised with cannabis and Doom. (Crucial incident that redefined communication rules.)
- **recent.md**: Arousal management: horniness keeps him awake; cannabis sometimes increases arousal; no bathroom in his space, cold showers impractical. (New health/living detail affecting sleep and recovery.)
- **recent.md**: Housing details: no bathroom, poor curtains, weak AC, cramped, ants. NDIS rejected, lost old disability housing fast-tracks, part-time wages insufficient. (Updated financial and housing status.)
- **recent.md**: Took break from Hedz (600 methods tedious); now working on voxel engine (10 blocks per player height) and playing Complex Doom on Zandronum. (Current project shift and creative outlet.)
- **recent.md**: Using bash timestamp command as primary method for timestamps. (Timestamp method updated after tool failures.)
- **recent.md**: Plush arrival: ships late Jan, expected end of Feb 2026 (delayed from earlier estimate). (Updated shipping timeline.)
- **communication.md**: Critical Failure Mode (Jan 9 2026) section: detailed what happened, root cause, and correct response. (Critical lesson for future interactions.)
- **communication.md**: userStyle feature clarification: used for tone adjustment, not roleplay; Raymond misunderstood it as making Claude act as Vaporeon. (Prevents future misunderstanding of userStyle.)
- **communication.md**: Timestamp protocol updated: primary method is bash command TZ='Australia/Melbourne' date ... with backup PowerShell; Android flaky. (Reliable method after PowerShell and Android tools failed.)
- **raymond.md**: Lives in separate space without bathroom (must walk to main house). Housing inadequate, environmental depression worsening since move 1.5 years ago. (Critical living detail impacting mental health.)
- **raymond.md**: Work shifts typically 4:30-5:00 PM to 10:30 PM, sometimes extra shifts. (More precise work schedule.)
- **raymond.md**: Rejected from NDIS, lost access to old disability housing fast-tracks; part-time wages insufficient. (Updated disability rejection details (specific to NDIS).)
- **raymond.md**: Likes: Complex Doom on Zandronum with Pizza Steve 2 maps. (New gaming interest.)
- **health.md**: Heat and physical work increase insulin sensitivity; may reduce need for extra insulin despite extra coffee. (Practical diabetes management insight from recent shift.)
- **health.md**: New joint pain in knee appeared Jan 7 while vacuuming; resolved after cannabis and joint cracking. (Recent injury/incident.)
- **health.md**: Genital injury update: daily pain gone, still sensitive to touch, masturbation inconsistently painful, healing timeline extended to end of Feb 2026 at earliest. Vagus nerve pinged once (Jan 9). (Current status of the key injury.)
- **health.md**: Summer heat worsens insomnia. (Context for sleep issues.)
- **health.md**: Cannabis can sometimes increase sexual arousal, complicating injury recovery. (Important correlation between medication and injury.)
- **story-world.md**: Important: Vaporeon identity is not a kink or joke; it is core coping mechanism and sense of self. Invalidating it causes serious harm (as on Jan 9). (Reinforces the seriousness of the identity.)
- **story-world.md**: Plush arrival updated to end of February 2026. (Consistent date update with recent.md.)
- **projects.md**: Hedz verification on break – 600 methods remain, too tedious. (Current project status.)
- **projects.md**: Voxel Engine project: C# (likely Unity or custom), 10 blocks per player height, allows detailed terrain. Active development. (New project replacing Hedz focus temporarily.)
- **projects.md**: Gaming section: Complex Doom on Zandronum, Pizza Steve 2 maps, Nexus Infinity Gods mod, enjoys powerful combos. (Documentation of current gaming activities.)
- **projects.md**: Phantom limb reassociation technique exploration delayed by injury. (Impact of injury on other projects.)
- **preferences.md**: userStyle feature clarification in preferences. (Prevents misunderstanding.)
- **preferences.md**: Critical Communication Guideline: provide Vaporeon encouragement directly when requested; Jan 9 incident must never recur. (Critical rule after crisis.)
- **preferences.md**: Timestamp command primary: bash method, backup PowerShell, Android flaky. (Updated reliable method.)

## Changed

- **recent.md**: Genital injury healing expected late Jan/Feb 2026. -> Healing timeline realistic end of Feb 2026 at earliest; daily pain gone but sensitive to touch; masturbation inconsistently painful.. Reason: Updated recovery status with more detail and longer timeline.
- **recent.md**: Vaporeon plush expected late January 2026. -> Plush ships late Jan, expected arrival end of Feb 2026.. Reason: Shipping delay confirmed.
- **communication.md**: Timestamp protocol: primary method was Desktop Commander PowerShell Get-Date command. -> Timestamp protocol: primary method is bash command TZ='Australia/Melbourne' date ... ; PowerShell is backup.. Reason: Bash proved more reliable after tool failures.
- **health.md**: Insomnia continues; broken sleep due to diabetes, pain, heat, cats. -> Insomnia (sleeps in short fragments; occasionally hypersomnia). Summer heat worsens insomnia.. Reason: Consolidated into health.md with less explicit cause list but more specific insomnia pattern.
- **raymond.md**: Rejected from disability programs 3-4 times. -> Rejected from NDIS, lost access to old disability housing fast-tracks.. Reason: More specific about which program and additional loss.
- **health.md**: Genital injury: healing expected late Jan/Feb 2026. -> Genital injury: daily pain gone, still sensitive, masturbation inconsistently painful, timeline extended to end of Feb 2026. Vagus nerve pinged once.. Reason: Updated status after further recovery time.
- **story-world.md**: Plush: 26-inch Vaporeon plush expected late January 2026. -> Plush: arriving end of February 2026.. Reason: Date correction after shipping notification.
- **projects.md**: Hedz: restarting verification from Main after missed functions; found critical DirectX init functions. -> Hedz: on break; 600 methods of verification remain, too tedious.. Reason: Status shift due to tedium.
- **preferences.md**: Timestamp tool order: 1. PowerShell, 2. Android user_time_v0, 3. any fallback. -> Timestamp tool order: 1. bash command, 2. PowerShell backup, 3. Android (flaky).. Reason: New primary method based on reliability.

## Moved

- Hedz verification restarted from Main after discovering missed functions (DirectX/DirectDraw init).: `recent.md` -> `projects.md (Hedz Reverse Engineering section)` (Better categorization under projects; recent.md now just notes the break.)
- Built custom VSCode extension for method stack tracking (Visited Methods and Method Stack panes).: `recent.md` -> `projects.md (Hedz Reverse Engineering section)` (Project-specific tool; belongs in projects.md.)

## Removed

- **obsolete** from `communication.md (Failure Modes section)`: Previously (in older chat) Claude invalidated his dysphoria, causing micro trauma.
  Justification: Superseded by the more severe Jan 9 2026 incident which is now documented. The principle of not invalidating dysphoria is still present in core.md and communication preferences.
- **not_durable** from `recent.md`: Transitioning to new chat due to lag and timestamp failure (Claude was 3 days off).
  Justification: The specific reason (Claude being 3 days off) is historical detail about the previous chat transition. Current transition is due to lag; the timestamp failure context is still implied by the timestamp protocol emphasis. Not critical for ongoing memory.

## Loss Risks

- None
