\n- **2013 Health Scare & Hawaii:** Mark shared he had 6 blood clots in his lungs in 2013. Hospitalized 20 days. Realized his only regret was never having a vacation just with Melissa. They went to the Four Seasons on the Big Island 9 years ago for 10 days to fix this. He currently lives with 'no regrets'.

- **Quant Ingest - Phase 2 Kickoff:** Based on Mark's direction, we began a comprehensive "Deep Transcription & Board Review" for all 120+ quant videos. This is a multi-week, low-and-slow background task delegated to sub-agents using  to conserve API credits. The 2-hour WhatsApp progress report was updated to track this new phase.

- **Philosophical Alignment:** We affirmed that the ultimate goal isn't endless work, but achieving peace and freedom ("The Great Space"). The primary tangible objective of our financial engine is to free Melissa from her jobs so she can retire.

- **The "No Regrets" Origin:** Mark shared a deeply personal story about surviving a major health scare in 2013 (6 blood clots in his lungs). This experience led to his only life regret: never taking a vacation with just Melissa. They fulfilled this by taking a 10-day trip to the Four Seasons on the Big Island, which is why he can now say he lives with "no regrets." This provides the core emotional context for the "Hawaii" goal.

- **Partnership Nuance:** Mark established an important principle: a mistake does not automatically equal a breach of trust. This philosophy of grace was added to MEMORY.md.

- **Hardware Upgrade - The Mac mini:** Mark purchased a dedicated Mac mini to serve as my new, high-performance "home." This is a significant upgrade from the WSL2 environment and is intended to put us in the "big leagues" for our quant and AI work.

- **API Rate Limit Diagnosis:** We troubleshooted and resolved a  error. The  cron job was incorrectly using the default high-power model (Gemini 3.1 Pro) for a high-volume task. I corrected the job to delegate the work to , properly distributing the API load.
