# 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 `-k` needed (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 `## Related` section. `source_notes` holds plain relative path strings.
- PATCH heading targets must use the full `H1::H2` path.
## 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.
