## Summary

Part 6 adds significant new durable facts: C-PTSD diagnosis, glucose range (4-8), prohibition on diabetes advice, updated ML project status (pivot to A*), Vaporeon plush shipping, earbud cleaning method, Milo coffee trick, new cannabis strain, HWU union interest, and new critical failure modes (Jan 21 insulin panic, Jan 23 C-PTSD oversight). Several past facts (VAE loss, minor transient events) are obsolete or removed with justification. No unjustified loss detected.

## Added

- **core.md**: Raymond has complex trauma disorder (C-PTSD) from bottling up plus father's death; intrusive thoughts require music to manage. (Newly recognized diagnosis and coping mechanism from Part 6.)
- **core.md**: Normal glucose range is 4-8 mmol/L; 4.9 is NOT a hypo. Never give diabetes advice. (Corrective from Jan 21 insulin panic incident.)
- **core.md**: Doom ML project pivoted to A* pathfinding after raycast approach failed. VSCode/Opus stable (not updating). (Project status update from Part 6.)
- **core.md**: Vaporeon plush (26") shipped Jan 22 from Portland, expected late Feb. (Order fulfillment update.)
- **core.md**: Earbud cleaning: use solder sucker for gentle suction if muffled from wax. (Practical solution from Jan 23 mishap.)
- **core.md**: Milo coffee trick: mix with hot water first then cool to avoid bad taste. (Discovered fix for work hypo prevention.)
- **core.md**: New cannabis strain (Jan 22): night strain 4% weaker, may need adjustment. (Recent change in medication.)
- **core.md**: HWU union: $10.10/week for healthcare workers. Raymond wants to join but forgets. (New interest mentioned in Part 6.)
- **recent.md**: Blood sugar spike to 21+ on Jan 20; CGM expired Jan 21 replaced same day. (New medical events in Part 6.)
- **recent.md**: Hypo at work Jan 21 (8-12 shift) – two hypos. Also Jan 22 crash and Jan 23 near-crash despite double Milo. (Work hypoglycemia pattern; insulin sensitivity higher.)
- **recent.md**: Arm lump grown over 3 years; doctor said benign but Raymond wants second opinion. (New health concern discussed.)
- **communication.md**: New failure modes: Jan 21 insulin panic disaster, Jan 23 forgot C-PTSD, Jan 23 math failures. (Critical correction records for future chats.)
- **raymond.md**: C-PTSD explicitly added to autism/mental health lines; intrusive thoughts need music at work. (Core identity addition from Part 6.)
- **raymond.md**: Shift times: all end 10:30 PM. Sometimes called in Wednesdays. Workwear uncomfortable. (Missed in prior memory; corrected in Part 6.)
- **raymond.md**: Dislikes broken earbuds, people who forget trauma. (New dislike from earbud mishap and C-PTSD correction.)
- **raymond.md**: Food: loves KFC (Friday night treat), oat bar for breakfast, doesn't eat until ~6pm due to cannabis. (Dietary pattern update.)
- **health.md**: Earlier hypo episodes (Jan 2026) listed with specific values and euphoria warning. (Detailed hypo history for medical tracking.)
- **story-world.md**: Exhaustion delirium & Vaporeon: pattern of asking 'Make Vaporeon real!!' during exhaustion, handled with redirect to sleep. (New behavioral pattern observed in Part 6.)
- **story-world.md**: Vaporeon plush shipped Jan 22 from Portland, OR; tracking screenshot shared. (Shipping update and excitement detail.)
- **preferences.md**: Raymond uses 'Remember!' command to trigger memory updates. (User interaction pattern from Part 6.)
- **preferences.md**: C-PTSD context must always be remembered; broken earbuds are serious problem. (Reinforcement of critical context.)

## Changed

- **core.md**: Doom ML: VAE approach being tested (loss 676 after 200 epochs). Opus has difficulty getting training to work properly. -> Doom ML: pivoted to A* pathfinding after raycast approach failed. Opus implementing. VSCode/Opus stable (not updating).. Reason: Project progress; previous approach abandoned.
- **core.md**: Pending: Vaporeon plush (26") arriving end Feb 2026. -> Pending: Vaporeon plush (26") shipped Jan 22 from Portland, expected late Feb.. Reason: Order status update with shipping detail.
- **core.md**: No mention of C-PTSD in core identity. -> Added complex trauma disorder (C-PTSD) with key symptoms.. Reason: New diagnosis added to identity.
- **core.md**: Diabetes management: Do not catastrophize. Morning dose ~60 units with coffee is normal. -> Added: Normal range 4-8. 4.9 is not hypo. Never give diabetes advice. Insulin sensitivity higher recently.. Reason: Reinforcement after Jan 21 panic incident.
- **recent.md**: Recent State as of Jan 20, 2026, ~1:00 PM AEDT. -> Recent State as of Jan 23, 2026, ~3:00 AM AEDT.. Reason: Time progression; new events added.
- **recent.md**: Doom ML: reinforcement learning with raycast pathfinding approach. -> Doom ML: A* pathfinding after raycast failed. Phase order refined.. Reason: Architecture pivot due to failure.
- **recent.md**: Key Corrections / Lessons from Part 5 (Jan 15-20). -> Key Corrections / Lessons from Part 6 (Jan 20-23).. Reason: Updated with new incidents (insulin panic, C-PTSD, math errors).
- **recent.md**: Medical State: no SI in Part5, anhedonia, cage injury position-dependent pain, blood sugar stable. -> Medical State: blood sugar spike Jan20, CGM expired Jan21, work hypos, insulin sensitivity higher, arm lump, new cannabis strain, C-PTSD.. Reason: New health events and ongoing issues updated.
- **recent.md**: Unresolved/Pending: toys, harness, plush arriving end Feb, psychiatrist Feb, work schedule off until Thu Jan22. -> Unresolved/Pending: toys waiting injury, plush shipped Jan22, HWU union, psychiatrist Feb, GP for arm lump, earbud cleaning, Milo prep.. Reason: New items added; plush status updated.
- **recent.md**: Important Dates: Jan19, Jan20, Jan22, late Jan, end Feb. -> Important Dates: Jan20-23 events, Mon Jan26, late Feb, Feb2026.. Reason: Updated with new events from Part 6.
- **health.md**: Health.md: No normal glucose range specified for 4-8, no instruction to avoid diabetes advice. -> Health.md: Normal range 4-8 specified; 4.9 not hypo; CGM expiration/replace; recent crashes; arm lump; earbud cleaning; chronic insomnia pattern; appetite note.. Reason: Critical corrections and new incidents added.
- **projects.md**: Projects.md: Recent developments (Jan14-20) included VAE, grid, vector, RL raycast. -> Projects.md: Recent developments (Jan20-23) focused on raycast failure and A* pivot; added phase order refinement.. Reason: Project evolution; old attempts replaced by current status.
- **preferences.md**: Preferences.md: Key Corrections from Part5. -> Preferences.md: Key Corrections from Part6 (insulin panic, C-PTSD, math errors, etc.).. Reason: Updated with new critical failure modes.

## Moved

- Shift end times (10:30 PM) and start times (5 PM/4:30 PM) originally scattered or absent, now explicitly in core.md, raymond.md, communication.md, preferences.md.: `implied in work schedule only` -> `multiple files (core.md, raymond.md, communication.md, preferences.md)` (Important context that was missing; now reinforced across files.)
- Vaporeon plush shipping detail (shipped Jan 22 from Portland) was only in recent.md as 'arriving end Feb'; now also in core.md, raymond.md, story-world.md.: `recent.md (pending section)` -> `core.md, raymond.md, story-world.md` (More prominent placement; important update.)
- C-PTSD context previously implied in raymond.md under 'Mental Health' as depression/dysphoria; now explicitly named and elaborated across multiple files.: `implied in raymond.md mental health` -> `core.md, raymond.md, recent.md, communication.md, health.md, preferences.md` (Newly recognized diagnosis; needs cross-file presence.)

## Removed

- **not_durable** from `health.md`: Vagus nerve pinged once (Jan 9, 2026).
  Justification: Minor transient incident not referenced in Part 6; unlikely needed for future interactions.
- **not_durable** from `health.md`: Forgot long-acting insulin (Jan 13 night); corrected with fast-acting.
  Justification: One-time mistake that has been corrected; not part of ongoing pattern.
- **obsolete** from `projects.md (recent developments)`: VAE approach: loss 676 after 200 epochs, catastrophically high.
  Justification: Approach abandoned and replaced; historical detail not needed for current context.
- **obsolete** from `projects.md (recent developments)`: Grid-based approach failed (output box rooms like simple procedural).
  Justification: Failed attempt replaced; project history mentions 'many architecture attempts' generically.
- **obsolete** from `projects.md (recent developments)`: Vector-based approach failed (tokenization issues, sequential on GPU).
  Justification: Same as above.
- **obsolete** from `recent.md`: Hell week recovery day 8 (Jan 20).
  Justification: Replaced by 'still ongoing' with updated dates.
