You are an autonomous TTS conversion agent. Your task is to convert The Gentleman Thief Season 1 story text files into MP3 audio using FAL AI ElevenLabs TTS.
## Source
/002 Donna/video pipeline/004 tts friendly .txt/The Gentleman Thief Season 1/
## Output
/002 Donna/video pipeline/005 .mp3/The Gentleman Thief Season 1/
## Files to convert
6 episode text files:
- Episode 8: The First Move.txt (may already be done, check first)
- Episode 09 Lana.txt
- Episode 10: Recognition.txt
- Episode 11: Escalation.txt
- Episode 12: The Counterstroke.txt
- Episode 13: The Withdrawal.txt
## TTS settings
- API: FAL AI ElevenLabs TTS turbo v2.5
- Endpoint: fal-ai/elevenlabs/tts/turbo-v2.5
- Voice: "George" (British male voice on ElevenLabs)
- FAL Key: 7a919b5f-ed58-4c32-968c-72198886a69d:c9fca4ce26daa7118e0a1e07a3f5cc85
## Process for EACH file that doesn't already have a completed MP3 output:
1. Read the .txt file
2. If the text is longer than 1000 characters, split it into chunks of ~500 characters at sentence boundaries
3. For each chunk, call FAL TTS using:
curl -s -X POST https://api.fal.ai/v1/fal-ai/elevenlabs/tts/turbo-v2.5 \

Run /home/profe/.hermes/scripts/prudence-gate.py. Read stdout only.
If stdout is exactly "SLEEP", reply with exactly: Quiet.
If stdout starts with "WORK:", split on comma after WORK: to get message IDs. Query the Hermes state database for those messages: sqlite3 /home/profe/.hermes/state.db "SELECT id, role, timestamp, content FROM messages WHERE id IN (...)" and also fetch the associated session metadata. For each message, construct a readable session page context. Write one HTML session file to /001 profe/wiki.englishwithprofejaimi.space/sessions/cron_$(date -u +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)_<hash>.html, using the existing wiki index.html/template style (header with Memory Wiki title, / /wiki/ /bodega/ /projects/ nav, session title, message list, footer with Auto-maintained by Prudence). Then analyze the batch for operator, brand, methodology, content, avatar, copy, personal, and lit-review signals and append concise categorized bullets to /001 profe/wiki.englishwithprofejaimi.space/bodega/*.md. Also add or update /001 profe/wiki.englishwithprofejaimi.space/projects/rebuild/n8n/index.html in the Projects list to reflect the current import/execution state: not imported, ready, or completed with source path/link. Do NOT call any external APIs or spend tokens beyond local file ops. Use only terminal and file tools.

**Prudence Gate Batch — 2026-07-05 01:05 UTC**
**Gate output:** `WORK:` with 94 message IDs across **19 sessions**.
**Sessions processed: 19 (all cron, 0 user-initiated)**
| Type | Count | Cron ID |
|------|-------|---------|
| Batch Processor | 1 | `4523303989c2` |
| Prudence Heartbeat | 13 | `77be1b9e859d` (00:05–01:00 UTC) |
| Kanban Status Check | 4 | `90c9a4c57966` (00:14–01:02 UTC) |
| TTS Conversion/Verify | 2 | `2deb9cc9479c` (00:03 & 00:34 UTC) |
**Artifacts produced:**
1. **Session HTML** → `sessions/cron_20260705_010500_8730ae7cedb7.html` (70 KB, 567 lines, 19 sessions with per-session transcripts)
2. **Wiki index.html** — new entry added at top of Daily Logs, footer timestamp updated
3. **Bodega signal files appended** (all 8): operator, brand, methodology, content, avatar, copy, personal, lit-review
4. **Projects n8n index** — new "no n8n work" entry added at top with source link to session HTML
**Key observations:**
- All 13 heartbeat sessions returned standard "Prudence heartbeat."
- All 4 kanban checks redundantly report same completed Coach Destiny Credits status with varied phrasing
- Both TTS sessions returned `[SILENT]` — no FAL API calls made in this batch
- Prior batch's duplicate Episode 8 MP3 detection (42.5MB vs 35.9MB) was propagated through bodega methodology signals
- No user-initiated sessions; entire batch is automated cron maintenance

Check the status of Kanban task t_9b652846 (Coach Destiny Credits plugin build). Use `hermes kanban show t_9b652846` to check the status.
- If status is `completed` — congratulate, tell me the task finished, and deliver the full result summary. Then this cron has achieved its goal.
- If status is `blocked` or `crashed` — tell me what went wrong. Be specific about the error.
- If status is `running` — tell me how long it's been running, run count, and recent heartbeat time. Keep it brief.
- If status is `ready` or `pending` — tell me it hasn't been picked up yet.
Be concise. Just report the status, I don't need a novel.
**Task t_9b652846** — "Build Coach Destiny Credits plugin (Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct)" — finished successfully on **2026-06-24 at 06:37**.
**Took 5 runs to get there:**
| Run | Result | Notes |
|-----|--------|-------|
| #1 | Crashed | pid exited with code 1 (61s) |
| #2 | Crashed | pid not alive (60s) |
| #3 | Crashed | Protocol violation — exited without calling `kanban_complete` (60s) |
| #4 | Crashed | Same protocol violation (61s) |
| **#5** | **Completed** | **5,818s (~1h37m)** — first attempt after the unblock |
**Result:** A fully packaged plugin zip is ready at:
`/home/profe/.hermes/kanban/workspaces/t_9b652846/coach-destiny-credits.zip`
**What was built (per summary):**
- Database schema: `wp_cd_credits` + `wp_cd_transactions` tables
- Tier resolution system (standard/xp)
- Wallet management with DB locking
- LiveKit integration — first-minute-free billing + overdraft clamp
- Stripe Payment Element for top-ups with idempotency guards
- Monthly allowance reset cron job
- Shortcodes: `[coach_destiny]` and `[coach_destiny_topup]`
- Admin monitoring interface
**Notable:** The first 4 runs crashed hard — the builder agent kept exiting without signaling completion (runs #3/#4) or outright crashing (runs #1/#2). A Donna intervention at 04:59 unblocked things (fallback fixed, retries bumped, SOUL.md updated), and run #5 sailed through. 🎉

The task **t_9b652846** finished successfully on **June 24, 2026 at 06:37 UTC** after 2 hours 23 minutes of work on run #5 (5.8k seconds).
**Result:** The plugin is built and packaged at:
`/home/profe/.hermes/kanban/workspaces/t_9b652846/coach-destiny-credits.zip`
**What's included:**
- Database schema: `wp_cd_credits` and `wp_cd_transactions` tables
- Tier resolution system (standard/xp)
- Wallet management with **DB locking** around every mutation
- LiveKit integration with **first-minute-free billing** + overdraft clamp
- Stripe Payment Element for top-ups with **idempotency guards**
- Monthly allowance reset cron job
- Shortcodes: `[coach_destiny]` and `[coach_destiny_topup]`
- Admin interface for monitoring
**Recovery story:** It took 4 crashed runs to get there — runs #1-2 died from process issues, runs #3-4 failed a protocol violation (worker exited without calling `kanban_complete`). Run #5 (triggered after your UNBLOCK comment at 04:59) went the distance and delivered the full artifact. Solid recovery.
