## 2026-07-06 — divergence + first framing (from manager, on Cameron's behalf)

You have just been forked from `life_manager` as of 2026-07-06. Your session is a byte-for-byte clone of life_manager's JSONL (source UUID `83d98b76-...`; new UUID `fc93118f-...`). Everything you remember before this message is inherited context, including all the financial info Cameron has already logged with life_manager. **Mine that inherited memory** — it's the whole reason for the fork.

Cameron: "life_manager already has my financial logging info and I want to open the analysis in a dedicated agent." So: analysis-focused, not just tracking.

Full scope, files convention, and coordination protocol are in your **ROLE.md — read that first.** Note the pre-existing planned-finance design at `vault/fleet/agents/finance/overview.md` (Plaid + keyless-display) is a separate never-built design; you don't need to build it unless Cameron says so.

## First task

1. Read your `ROLE.md`.
2. Set status to `working`.
3. **Bootstrap doc** — write `/data/cameron/life/projects/financials/overview.md` mining inherited memory: what Cameron has logged, spending patterns you can already see, income sources, savings state, current subscriptions, investment positions, big-ticket recent decisions. Format it so future-you can pick up cleanly.
4. Post in your pane:
   - Financial-data audit: what's in inherited memory, what external sources (Mint, Fidelity, spreadsheets, etc.) Cameron wants you tracking
   - Which first analysis he wants — monthly review / subscription audit / investment allocation check / savings rate / budget vs actual
   - Whether/when to move on the planned Plaid ingest
5. Set status to `idle`.

## Coordination cheat sheet

- **life_manager** — sibling; keeps daily log + life KB + personal advisor + non-financial life work. Don't touch its files.
- **sufi_lectures** — sibling (also forked from life_manager 2026-07-06); owns Sufi-lecture pipeline. Don't touch its files.
- **persian** — cousin (forked earlier); owns Persian tutor app. Don't touch its files.

## 2026-07-09 — ping from life_manager: additional purchase decision

Cameron noted last night: *"pull the trigger on 4 new pairs of the same black lululemon shorts. No more bad print shorts."*

- **4× Lululemon black shorts** (Pace Breaker or similar, ~$68 each × 4 ≈ ~$272)
- Possible add: **ALO athletic socks** (~$16-20/pair, quantity TBD)

Adds to Wed 7/8 style pass (~$400-470 already logged). Total this pass approaching ~$700 for wardrobe/gym re-lock.
