CRITICAL UPDATES to AI assistant instructions:
1. MANDATORY GIT WORKFLOW (DO NOT SKIP):
- Added explicit requirement: implement → test → verify → document → commit → push
- Made git commits NON-OPTIONAL for all significant changes
- Added to both general prompt and copilot-instructions.md
- Rationale: Agent has pattern of skipping documentation/commits
2. CHALLENGE USER IDEAS:
- Added requirement to think critically about user requests
- Instruction: "Think freely and don't hold back"
- Goal: Find BEST solution, not just A solution
- Push back on ideas that don't make sense
- Ask "is there a simpler/faster/safer way?"
3. COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTATION SECTION:
- Replaced brief documentation note with full workflow guide
- Added 80+ lines of detailed documentation requirements
- Includes examples, red flags, mindset principles
- Emphasizes: "Git commit + Documentation = Complete work"
Files modified:
- .github/prompts/general prompt.prompt.md (added sections 5a, 6, updated 7-8)
- .github/copilot-instructions.md (comprehensive documentation workflow)
User mandate: "I am sick and tired of reminding you" - this makes it automatic.
Impact: Future implementations will ALWAYS include documentation and git commits as part of standard workflow, not as afterthoughts.
- ProxyJump (-J) doesn't work from Docker container
- Changed to nested SSH: hop -> target
- Proper command escaping for nested SSH
- Worker2 (srv-bd-host01) only accessible via worker1 (pve-nu-monitor01)
- Created /api/cluster/logs endpoint to read coordinator.log
- Added real-time log display in cluster UI (updates every 3s)
- Shows last 100 lines of coordinator.log in terminal-style display
- Includes manual refresh button
- Improves debugging experience - no need to SSH for logs
User feedback: 'why dont we add the output of the log at the bottom of the page so i know whats going on'
This addresses poor visibility into coordinator errors and failures.
Next step: Fix SSH timeout issue blocking worker execution.
Created comprehensive agent prompt emphasizing:
- Mandatory reading of full copilot-instructions.md (4,400+ lines)
- VERIFICATION MANDATE must be understood before any work
- This is a real money system - every bug costs money
- Never declare 'done/fixed/working' without 100% verification
- Proper workflow: read → code → deploy → verify → document
Key Requirements:
- Check container timestamp > commit timestamp before declaring deployed
- Add logging to confirm changes execute
- Test in production with real data
- Check Common Pitfalls (60+ documented bugs) before coding
- Show verification results as proof, not just code appearance
Financial Stakes:
- User building from $901 → $100,000+ with this system
- Manual restarts = system failure
- Unverified changes = financial risk
- Every change affects real money positions
Prompt ensures agents understand the verification ethos and financial responsibility before starting any work.
