Weekly stale summary cron 'ngn-weekly-stale-summary' fires at Sunday 20:00 SGT
Weekly archive cron 'ngn-weekly-archive' fires at Sunday 20:05 SGT (5 min after summary)
Weekly stale summary loads 'session' skill for understanding session structure
Weekly archive runs as no_agent (script archive-stale-sessions.sh, no LLM cost)
Archive cron schedule is offset by 5 min to avoid race condition with summary

Register two weekly cron jobs: stale session summary and stale session archive.
Purpose: Implement CRON-02's weekly archive (complete the stale session lifecycle) and CRON-03's stale session Jira awareness (weekly summary mentions Jira ticket keys for stale sessions). The weekly summary is skill-backed (uses session skill to understand session structure and hindsight for Jira-session mapping discovery). The weekly archive is no_agent (deterministic export + prune via the script created in Plan 1). The 5-minute offset between summary (20:00) and archive (20:05) prevents a race condition where the prune removes sessions the summary agent is still enumerating — per RESEARCH.md Anti-Patterns.

Task 1: Register weekly stale session summary cron (Sunday 20:00 SGT, skill-backed)
(Hermes cron DB — internal state)
Register the weekly stale session summary cron job using `hermes cron create`.
**Command (execute verbatim):**
```bash
hermes cron create \
--name "ngn-weekly-stale-summary" \
--deliver telegram \
--skill session \
"0 20 * * 0" \
"Weekly stale session summary — report on sessions inactive for more than 30 days:
1. FIND STALE SESSIONS: Run 'hermes sessions export -' to get all sessions as JSONL. Use python3 to parse and filter for sessions where last_active is more than 30 days ago. For each stale session, record its id, title, and last_active timestamp. (Note: 'hermes sessions list' has NO --json flag — use export - for machine-readable output per RESEARCH.md Pitfall 3.)
2. DISCOVER JIRA TICKETS: For each stale session, use hindsight_recall with query 'session summary jira' to find the Jira ticket key from the session summary (saved by Phase 7 session skill, Step 7, tier: session-summary). If hindsight_recall returns no results, search session messages for Jira key patterns (PLATFORM-<digits>, AIOPS-<digits>, etc.).
3. REPORT ONLY — NO JIRA MUTATIONS: Do NOT add comments to Jira tickets. Do NOT transition ticket statuses. Only report their keys in the summary (per D-10 and D-15).
4. COMPOSE TELEGRAM SUMMARY: Create a structured message with sections:
⏳ STALE SESSIONS (>30d inactive) — list each with:
- Session title
- Last activity date
- Linked Jira ticket key (or 'no ticket')
Keep within Telegram's 4096 character limit. Do not include active sessions.
5. DELIVERY: Your response is automatically delivered to TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL via --deliver telegram."
```
**Key details (per locked decisions):**
- Per D-02: Schedule `0 20 * * 0` = Sunday at 20:00 SGT. Timezone is already SGT (+08) — no TZ config needed.
- Per D-08: Summarizes inactive sessions (>30d since last activity) with session title, last activity date, linked Jira ticket
- Per D-09: Delivered via Telegram to user's DM channel
- Per D-10/D-15: No auto-comments on stale tickets — only reported in summary
- Per D-17: Skill-backed cron (one `--skill session`, no `--no-agent`)
- Uses `--skill session` (Phase 7) for understanding session structure and transaction patterns
</action>
hermes cron list 2>&1 | grep -q ngn-weekly-stale-summary
Weekly stale summary cron `ngn-weekly-stale-summary` is registered with:
- Schedule: `0 20 * * 0` (Sunday at 20:00 SGT)
- Delivery: telegram (TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL)
- Skill: session (skill-backed, no no-agent)
- Prompt instructs agent to: enumerate stale sessions via JSONL export, discover Jira ticket keys via hindsight_recall, compose Telegram summary without Jira mutations
Task 2: Register weekly archive cron (Sunday 20:05 SGT, no_agent)
(Hermes cron DB — internal state)
Register the weekly stale session archive cron job using `hermes cron create` with `--no-agent` and `--script` flags.
**Command (execute verbatim):**
```bash
hermes cron create \
--name "ngn-weekly-archive" \
--deliver telegram \
--script archive-stale-sessions.sh \
--no-agent \
"5 20 * * 0"
```
**Key details (per locked decisions):**
- Per D-03 (corrected): Schedule `5 20 * * 0` = Sunday at 20:05 SGT — 5 minutes after the stale summary. This prevents a race condition where the prune might delete sessions the summary agent is still enumerating (per RESEARCH.md Anti-Pattern: Race condition on same schedule).
- Per D-11 (corrected): Uses native Hermes commands (`hermes sessions export` + `hermes sessions prune --older-than 30 --yes`). The script was created in Plan 1 (08-01) with all research corrections applied (no --older-than on export, --yes on prune).
- Per D-12: Archive files stored in `~/.hermes/archive/sessions/sessions-<timestamp>.jsonl`
- Per D-13: Runs weekly after the stale summary report
- Per D-19: Uses `--no-agent` for deterministic CLI operations (no LLM cost)
- The script at `~/.hermes/scripts/archive-stale-sessions.sh` was created in Plan 1 and has `DRY_RUN=true` by default (export only, skip prune). User must manually verify the first export and set DRY_RUN=false to enable pruning.
</action>
hermes cron list 2>&1 | grep -q ngn-weekly-archive
Weekly archive cron `ngn-weekly-archive` is registered with:
- Schedule: `5 20 * * 0` (Sunday at 20:05 SGT — 5 min after summary to avoid race condition)
- Delivery: telegram (stdout of archive-stale-sessions.sh delivered verbatim)
- Mode: --no-agent (no LLM cost)
- Script: archive-stale-sessions.sh (from ~/.hermes/scripts/, created in Plan 1)

Trust Boundaries
Boundary
Description
Cron agent → Hermes session DB
Weekly summary LLM agent reads session data (ids, titles, timestamps) to identify stale sessions
no_agent script → Hermes session DB
Archive script reads (export) and writes (prune) session store directly with CLI permissions

Tampering
Weekly stale summary cron prompt
accept
Prompt is authored during plan execution and stored in Hermes cron DB — not user-controllable. No injection risk.
T-08-07
Repudiation
Stale session prune
mitigate
Archive script's DRY_RUN=true default means no prune until user flips the flag. All exports produce timestamped JSONL files that serve as audit trail of which sessions existed before pruning.
T-08-08
Denial of Service
Race condition: summary + archive at same time
mitigate
Archive scheduled at 20:05 (5 min after summary at 20:00) — prevents prune-from-underneath during summary enumeration per RESEARCH.md §Anti-Patterns to Avoid.
