Session Log
Goal
Prep the goldbrain vault from the reference materials, stand up and verify the Obsidian Local REST API, and build the goldbrain-memory CoWork plugin ready to hand off to Bryan.
Notes Read
- BOOTSTRAP, STRUCTURE, CLAUDE, spinup
- _agent/memory/semantic/operator-preferences, resources/people/bryan-gilliom
- resources/references/obsidian-local-rest-api
Actions Taken
Reviewed the references-only materials (reference vault + the existing obsidian-memory plugin + REST API docs). Found the vault scaffold was structurally complete but plugin/REST-readiness was thin, so filled the stub API reference with a full command reference + memory routing map and refreshed .env.example for goldbrain.
Diagnosed a 502 from the reverse proxy: the Obsidian Local REST API plugin was bound to 127.0.0.1. Changed binding to 0.0.0.0 and added the proxy hostname to the cert SAN; API came up clean (v4.1.2, valid TLS). Verified a full write → read → list → delete round-trip.
Confirmed the scaffold copy into the live vault, then created the 24 empty subfolders that file-copy had dropped (placeholder READMEs) so the full required tree resolves over the API. Marked spin-up steps complete.
Built the goldbrain-memory plugin (skill + 4 reference files) adapted to: operator = Bryan, base URL goldbrainapi.mpm.to, vault-root paths, goldbrain's PARA + _agent/ layout, canonical frontmatter, HHMM session logs. Live-tested every documented operation.
Fixed two bugs found during testing: (1) v4.1.2 PATCH requires the full ::-delimited heading path (bare subheading name returns invalid-target); (2) [[wikilinks]] in YAML frontmatter break in Obsidian's reading view — migrated all 23 affected notes to move links into a body ## Related section, retired the related: frontmatter field, and codified the rule in STRUCTURE.md / BOOTSTRAP.md and the plugin docs.
Decisions Made
- Vault addressed at root (no
Projects/agents/prefix) — goldbrain is a dedicated vault. - API base URL
https://goldbrainapi.mpm.to; no-kneeded (valid cert behind reverse proxy →192.168.86.15:27124). - API key hardcoded in the plugin only, never written into the vault (per the vault's own safety rule).
- Rule established: no
[[wikilinks]]in frontmatter; all cross-references live in a body## Relatedsection.source_notesholds plain relative path strings. - PATCH heading targets must use the full
H1::H2path.
Outputs Created
goldbrain-memory.plugin— installable CoWork plugin (delivered to the goldbrain root folder)- Full REST command reference + routing map in resources/references/obsidian-local-rest-api
- 24 folder-placeholder READMEs; 23 notes + templates migrated for the frontmatter-link fix
Open Threads
- Validate Claude Code direct filesystem access to the vault host (spin-up step 6).
- Capture Bryan's real preferences in _agent/memory/semantic/operator-preferences from actual use — do not fabricate.
- Begin the daily/session/review operating rhythm (spin-up step 8).
Suggested Next Step
Hand off goldbrain-memory.plugin to Bryan, install it, and run one live session to confirm the skill triggers and that load/write land correctly through the plugin.
