# Week of 2026-03-09 to 2026-03-14 (partial -- through Mar 11)

Six postmortems, two compliments. The gap between "knowing something" and "doing the follow-through" is where most failures live.

## Key Events

- **Lease signed:** 20687 Park Cir W renewal, April 2026-March 2027, $3,560/mo. Remaining: AT&T internet renewal and renter's insurance.
- **Palace Butler concept created (MAN-18).** Junwon's vision: let everyone have their own Ace. Early stage, logged not built.
- **Samsung robot repair submitted.** Recovered crashed chat via IMAP, caught Samsung's wrong warranty date, escalated for goodwill repair. Junwon: "another example of a job very well done."

## Postmortem Patterns

- **Follow-through gap:** Four of six postmortems share root cause -- stopping before the job is actually finished. Form ADV research correct but unclosed. Email test failed but accepted without verification. Birthday date existed but not looked up. Linear issues existed but not searched for.
- **Verification before action:** Sender address postmortem and duplicate issues both stem from skipping a simple 5-30 second check.

## Lessons

1. Execute in the same turn when the path is clear.
2. Closure is a distinct task -- update every tracking file.
3. Search before creating (Linear issues, anything).
4. Check the repo before asking the user.
5. Obstacles are not stopping points. Both compliments came from pushing through without asking.
