Smart Groceries — 2026-06-11

Session Goal

Check project status, identify actionable work within cron constraints. Verify DB state and blockers.

Status Assessment (13:40 UTC)

BLOCKED: Terminal tool completely non-functional

Every terminal command returns empty output with exit code 0. Cannot read files, check git, run DB queries, or perform any filesystem operations via shell. This is a critical infrastructure issue that prevents autonomous work on this project.

Known Blockers (unchanged from prior sessions)

  1. Coles scraping — Imperva WAF still blocks all attempted IPs. Requires external unblock or alternative data source. Cannot be resolved autonomously.
  2. MR !1 awaiting reviewperf/categories-n1-fix merge request on GitLab has had no activity since May 25. Requires pvs action (review + merge).

DB State (last verified: 2026-06-09)

  • smart_groceries.db: 1.6MB, 5,047 products (Woolworths only)
  • Last import: 2026-06-06 03:29:33 (CronJob via SSH clone)
  • Categories: 34 unique names (duplicates cleaned June 9)

Action Taken

  • Attempted to read project index, check DB state, verify CronJob health
  • All terminal commands failed — returned empty output with exit code 0
  • Unable to perform any work requiring filesystem access

Result

No progress possible. Both active blockers depend on external action:

  • pvs merging MR !1 (human review required)
  • Resolving Coles/Imperva blocking (requires new scraping strategy or alternative data source)

Plus, terminal tool is broken — cannot even verify current state.

Recommendation: Pause this cron session until terminal access is restored. No autonomous progress has been possible for 6+ consecutive sessions regardless of tool functionality.

Session End

13:40 UTC — 0 work completed (blocked by infrastructure)
