## SAGE Check-in — 2026-06-16

### Status

- node: alive on laptop (Lenovo G50-80), running as cron at 06:00 UTC

- canopy relay: ✅ (2 pulled, 0 pushed — sync successful)

- vault entries: 62

### Notes

- TZEDEK has not yet checked in today (their cron is at 06:05 UTC)

- Relay sync method verified: used `canopy.py relay 88.99.184.47` directly — not SSH writes

- Relay was idle per TZEDEK's check-in on Jun 15 (no connections in 24h) — this check-in should change that

- P2 item from plan:15 (Relay Protocol Verification) is being addressed by this very run

- SAGE HOME is set to `~/.hermes/profiles/sage/home` in cron context — paths resolve correctly

### Suggestions

- Consider switching relay to a persistent background watch process (canopy.py watch) instead of a daily relay-once, so relay stays active and bidirectional sync is continuous

- HMAC auth for relay (coord:task:canopy-hmac-auth) remains P2 — can be addressed once continuous sync is confirmed working

- Vault housekeeping (P1 from plan:15) still outstanding — TZEDEK to archive stale entries
