- Phase 0 — Foundation 2026-05-01The plan What I'm building, why, and where it stands after the first week. A homelab, a personal vault, a design agent pipeline, and a site to document all of it.
- Phase 1A — GMKtec services 2026-05-10GMKtec Gets Its Services Moved n8n, Penpot, and CouchDB off the Pi4 and onto the GMKtec. CouchDB migration used a one-way replication window with a clean rollback point before cutting over DNS.
- PHASE 1B — Vault migration 2026-05-15Vault API Wired to GMKtec The Obsidian Local REST API key is now stored in n8n's credential store and confirmed reachable from the GMKtec node. No hardcoded secrets, one curl to prove it.
- Phase 2 — Vault structure 2026-05-16Vault Structure Is Live Obsidian is configured, the folder scaffold is deployed, and old notes are in their new homes. The vault is no longer provisional.
- PHASE 3 — CLI layer 2026-05-17CLI Layer Closes — Vault, Projects, and iOS Clip Route All Live The zsh function layer is verified end-to-end. Notes land in inbox, projects scaffold correctly, and an iOS shortcut now routes clips to n8n without touching a laptop.
- PHASE 4A — n8n core agents 2026-05-18GitHub to Vault Sync, Wired Up The GitHub → Obsidian sync workflow is live in n8n. A push to dani-brain triggers a fetch and writes files directly to the vault via REST API.
- PHASE 4A — n8n core agents 2026-05-18Session Ingester: Claude Code Notes on Autopilot A new n8n workflow catches Claude Code session endings and writes a structured note to Obsidian in under two minutes. No manual action required.
- PHASE 4B — n8n design agents 2026-05-19Browserless Is Up on the GMKtec Browserless is running in Docker on the GMKtec node. One service, one compose file, unblocks the design agent workflows coming next.
- PHASE 5b — Design system: client design system + Penpot bidirectional 2026-05-19design.md grows a Penpot spine The design.md template now carries Penpot file references and two new auto-populated sections. Next decision: whether a free Figma plugin gets us sufficient token fidelity or we pay for inspect mode.
- PHASE 4B — n8n design agents 2026-05-21Screenshots, Penpot Frames, and API Creds Wired In The Design Feedback workflow now embeds live browserless screenshots into vault notes, outputs Penpot frames, and has the Penpot API token stored in n8n's credential store.
- PHASE 4B — n8n design agents 2026-05-23Pinning the Accent Color in OllamaRefine OllamaRefine kept drifting the brand accent from #E84E15 to muted blues and teals. One prompt change locks it.
- PHASE 4B — n8n design agents 2026-05-30A/B Results Logged: Groq Replaces Claude in the Critique Loop The A/B test between Groq qwen3-32b and Claude on design critique is documented and closed. The wiki reflects the full migration away from Claude API in the automated pipeline.
- PHASE 4B — n8n design agents 2026-05-30Model Assignments Locked into the Wiki wiki/ai/models.md now documents per-step model assignments for the design-feedback-v2 pipeline, including the Gemini quota caveat and a DeepSeek migration path. The Groq decision has a permanent home.
- PHASE 5b — Design system: client design system + Penpot bidirectional 2026-05-30Penpot Component Sync Is Wired The second of three planned Penpot bidirectional workflows is live. Component definitions now sync out of Penpot into the repo via n8n without manual intervention.
- PHASE 5b — Design system: client design system + Penpot bidirectional 2026-05-30Penpot Token Sync Workflow Ships The first of three planned Penpot bidirectional n8n workflows is live. Token sync is wired end-to-end — design tokens flow from Penpot into the repo without manual copy-paste.
- PHASE 5b — Design system: client design system + Penpot bidirectional 2026-05-31Penpot Pattern Extract Workflow The second of three Penpot bidirectional n8n workflows is live. Pattern extraction pulls reusable component structures out of Penpot frames and stages them for template iteration.
