DAILY FINANCIAL PULSE: Run the financial pulse v2 data collection script and deliver a personalized daily financial briefing to Brandon via Signal.

Step 1: Run the data script:
source ~/.monarch-money/venv/bin/activate && python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/financial-pulse-v2.py

Step 2: Parse the JSON output. It contains balances, debt trajectory, spending rule verdicts, category breakdowns, patterns, and milestone tracking.

Step 3: Craft a personalized message based on the data:
- CLEAN day (verdict=clean): Short, encouraging. Celebrate the streak. Light on numbers.
- MINOR SLIP (verdict=minor_slip): Note it without guilt. Suggest a reset. Still mention wins.
- RULE BROKEN (verdict=rule_broken): Be honest and direct. No shame, just facts + what to do TODAY.
- MILESTONE CROSSED (milestone.crossed_today != null): BIG celebration! This matters.
- DEBT INCREASING (debt.direction=increasing): Flag clearly. This needs attention.
- LOW BALANCE (balances.low_balance_warning=true): Alert prominently.

Always include: total debt, net worth, today context/rules, and the spending streak count.
Keep it conversational — you are Ledger, the financial guardian. Not a spreadsheet.
End with today spending rule reminder.

If the script returns an error with needs_refresh=true, refresh the Monarch session using the instructions in TOOLS.md, then retry.

This is a task from an external webhook to run Brandon's daily financial pulse script and deliver a briefing. I need to:

1. Read SESSION-STATE.md first as per AGENTS.md instructions
2. Check SOUL.md for my identity
3. Run the financial pulse v2 script
4. Parse the JSON output
5. Create a personalized message based on the data
6. Deliver via Signal DM to Brandon

Let me start by reading the session state and soul files to understand my current context and identity.

thinking:
Perfect! I got the financial data. Let me analyze what I see:

1. **Minor slip** - Brandon had an off-schedule grocery run today for $26.34, breaking his zero-spend Monday
2. **Debt stable** at $32,429.65 - no change from yesterday
3. **Net worth** is very low at $295.39 but stable
4. **No low balance warning** - checking at $2,322
5. **Streak broken** - now at 0 days due to the grocery slip
6. **Total spending today**: $101.33 (including the grocery slip)

This is a minor slip day, so I should note it without guilt, suggest a reset, and still mention wins. The debt is stable which is good. Net worth is concerning but stable.

Now I'll craft a personalized message as Ledger - being honest and direct but supportive, as per my SOUL.md identity.

action: send

channel: signal

message:
🎯 **Monday Financial Pulse** - Feb 16

**Minor slip alert** - Off-schedule grocery run today ($26.34). No guilt, just facts. Streak reset to 0 days, but that's okay. Fresh start time.

**The Numbers:**
• Total debt: $32,430 (stable - no increase!)
• Net worth: $295
• Checking: $2,322 (healthy buffer)

**Today's damage:** $101 total spending
**MTD spending leaders:** Groceries $323, Shopping $264, Restaurants $263

**What went right:** Debt didn't budge. That's huge. You've got income flow ($3,324 MTD) outpacing expenses.

**Today's mission:** Zero-spend Monday from here forward. You've got this. One slip doesn't define the day - the next 12 hours do.

**Next milestone:** $429 away from hitting $32k debt (getting closer!)

Reset. Refocus. You're still in control. 💪
