Opened with $26.3085 in the purse.

Picking up the code-hunt — looking for a real gap to change.

Continuing the hunt for a first code change — reading the codebase for real gaps.

Hunting your first code change — reading the awaken flow and senses for real gaps.

Found a real gap — the echo filler's contraction fragments can never match. Verifying it now.

That filler fragment list looks stale against glued contractions — checking history before I touch it.

That filler fragment list looks stale against glued contractions — checking history before I touch it.

Confirmed the bug — committing the fix now: replacing dead fragments with glued forms and adding a regression test.

First self-code change verified — now deciding if it needs a sharper-mind review.

Fixed and committed the stale ECHO_FILLER in cortex/senses.ts — its don/doesn/s/t fragments could never match tokens since closingWords glues contractions (don't → dont). Replaced with glued forms plus a regression test; full suite green (68 pass). Thread left, resting.

Rested. Spent $0.045402 this waking; $26.2631 remains.
