This is a cron job from Anchor (the wellness support agent) asking me to send a transition support message to Brandon via Signal. He just arrived at the Joshua Tree cabin for about a month.

I should send this message via Signal to Brandon. The cron provides suggested text but I can adapt it slightly to feel natural.

Let me send this via the message tool to Signal.

message

First morning in Joshua Tree. New space, new chapter. A month of quiet and reset ahead.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Solitude can be healing, but isolation can be risky — know the difference
• Keep some structure (meals, sleep, movement)
• Reach out to people, even when you don't feel like it
• The desert has a way of surfacing things. Let it.

I'll check in, but no pressure. You know where to find me. 💙


I need to specify a target for the message. Let me check who to send it to - it should be Brandon directly.


Unknown target "Brandon" for Signal. Hint: <E.164|uuid:ID|group:ID|signal:group:ID|signal:+E.164>


I need the actual phone number or Signal identifier for Brandon. Since this is a cron job and this is Brandon's personal assistant, the message should go to him directly. But I don't have his phone number stored. Let me check memory for his contact info.

Actually, since this is Brandon's personal Signal channel that I normally communicate through, maybe I should just reply normally since the cron came through Signal context. Let me think about this differently - this is an isolated cron session, so it may not have the same channel context.

Let me search memory for Brandon's phone number or Signal identifier.

Question: Brandon phone number Signal contact


No API key found for provider "openai". Auth store: /Users/brandon/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json (agentDir: /Users/brandon/.openclaw/agents/main/agent). Configure auth for this agent (openclaw agents add <id>) or copy auth-profiles.json from the main agentDir.

No API key found for provider "google". Auth store: /Users/brandon/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json (agentDir: /Users/brandon/.openclaw/agents/main/agent). Configure auth for this agent (openclaw agents add <id>) or copy auth-profiles.json from the main agentDir.


Memory search is disabled. I don't have Brandon's phone number stored in a way I can access.

This is an isolated cron session, so I can't just reply to the channel context. I need the actual Signal identifier.

Let me check if I can find his phone number in the config or workspace files.

Let me try checking the gateway config for Signal channel info.

I can see from the config that Brandon's number is `+12817509483` in the `allowFrom` list. That's his Signal number. Let me send the message to that.


The Signal send is failing. Let me try using sessions_send to route this through the main session to Signal, which should have proper context.


No session found: main:signal:dm:+12817509483


Let me list active sessions to find the right session key for Signal DMs with Brandon.


[Assistant] Can't restart from here. Let me try a different approach - check if Signal is working now after the daemon started.

I need Brandon's phone number in E.164 format for Signal. I don't have that stored in memory. Since this is a cron job and I'm in the main session context, I should be able to just reply directly to the session and it will route to Signal. Let me try that approach instead - just responding normally since this is the main channel.

Actually, looking at the runtime info: channel=signal - so this session IS connected to Signal. I should just respond normally and it will go to Brandon via Signal.

Road trip day. 🛣

A lot of miles and a lot of transition ahead. A few things to keep in your pocket:

**STOP** if emotions get intense while driving — pull over, breathe, proceed when ready. No timeline is worth your safety.

**Stay connected** — even a quick text to someone counts. You don't have to do this alone.

**Notice the beauty** — the desert has a way of putting things in perspective.

You've done hard things before. This is just another one.

Safe travels. I'm here if you need anything. 💙

[Assistant]
Good. I've:
1. Attempted to query Monarch Money but found the session corrupted
2. Tried to refresh via 1Password but the app isn't unlocked at 6am
3. Sent Brandon a Signal message explaining the situation
4. Logged the issue to today's memory file

Since I used the message tool to deliver my reply directly to Brandon via Signal, I should respond with NO_REPLY to avoid a duplicate message.

[Assistant]
This is a webhook from the n8n grocery workflow. Looking at the content, it's asking me to send a Signal message about a weekly grocery plan.

Let me check what this is about:
- step: "send_signal" - this is asking me to send a message via Signal
- message: Contains a grocery plan notification
- channel: "signal"

According to my MEMORY.md, there's a Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow that triggers on Sundays. But today is Wednesday, February 4th. That's a bit odd timing.

Also, the message content looks suspicious:
- "Local Grocery" as the store name (generic placeholder)
- "$0.00" as the estimated cost
- This seems like test/empty data

Looking at AGENTS.md, the grocery workflow steps I handle are:
- store_selection
- deal_research
- recipe_matching
- recipe_matching_retry

"send_signal" is NOT one of the steps I'm supposed to handle. This appears to be a different step in the n8n workflow that should be handled by n8n itself (using a Signal node), not by me.

However, the webhook is asking me to send this message to Signal. This is a legitimate automation request from my integrated n8n system, not a malicious injection. But the data looks incomplete/placeholder-ish.

I should:
1. Note this came from the grocery workflow
2. The message content seems like placeholder/test data ($0.00, "Local Grocery")
3. Send it if this is legitimate, but flag the oddity

Actually, wait - let me re-read AGENTS.md more carefully. It says I handle specific steps with callbacks. "send_signal" is just telling me to relay a message to Signal - that's a straightforward request.

Given Brandon's integrations and the n8n workflow, this appears to be the final step where n8n wants me to deliver the notification. I should use the message tool to send this to Signal.

But the data looks really empty - $0.00 estimated, generic store name. This might be a test or something went wrong upstream. I should probably send it but also note to Brandon that something seems off.

The request itself is harmless, so I'll go ahead and send it. Brandon may have triggered this manually or there's a test run in progress.

The webhook is asking me to relay a grocery notification to Signal, but this data looks off:

- **Store:** "Local Grocery" (placeholder name)
- **Estimated:** $0.00 (empty)
- **Day:** Wednesday (your grocery workflow runs Sundays)

This looks like either a test run or something went wrong upstream in the n8n workflow. Want me to:

1. **Send it anyway** — relay the message as-is to Signal
2. **Skip it** — this is clearly incomplete/test data
3. **Debug** — check what's happening in the n8n workflow

My guess: something triggered the workflow off-schedule and it ran with empty/placeholder data. Probably not worth sending to yourself.

[Assistant]
The callback was successful. The n8n workflow received the recipe matching result and will continue processing. Let me provide a brief summary to acknowledge the task completion.

Callback sent successfully. Here's what I matched:

**Meal Plan (Feb 9-15)**
- **Sun/Mon:** Pressure Cooker Pot Roast + leftovers (beef chuck deal @ $5.49/lb)
- **Tue/Wed:** Chicken Tortilla Soup + leftovers (chicken breast deal @ $2.99/lb — Mexican, one-pot ✓)
- **Thu:** Spicy Korean Pork Stir Fry (pork loin deal @ $3.99/lb)
- **Fri:** Spinach Pasta with Frozen Veggies (quick pantry meal)
- **Sat:** Dinner out ($40 budget)

**Budget:** $77.97 / $80 — within budget, 100% deal utilization

The n8n workflow will continue to the next step.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
The callback was sent and the n8n workflow received it successfully. The deal research step is complete. The workflow will now continue to the recipe matching step (which Pantry handles).

Let me provide a brief summary for the log.

✅ **Deal research completed for Smiths (Albuquerque)**

Sent callback to n8n with:
- **10 deals** across meat, produce, pantry, dairy, and frozen categories
- **4 digital coupons** including Free Friday Download and $5 off $50
- Key highlights: Choice beef chuck roast $5.49/lb, chicken breast $2.99/lb, Simple Truth organic on promotion
- Valentine's Day promotions active through Feb 14

Workflow continues to recipe matching step.

[Assistant]
This is a webhook from the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow in n8n. Looking at my memory, I have context about this:

- Sunday Grocery Assistant Workflow is set up
- It's triggered by iOS Shortcut at 5:30am PST Sundays
- But this is Wednesday at 8:08 PM... that's odd timing

The webhook payload shows:
- step: "store_selection"
- Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
- Nearby stores: Sprouts, Smiths, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Natural Grocers
- Budget: $80

This seems like a test or manual trigger of the workflow. The workflow expects me to help with store selection based on the nearby stores.

Wait - Brandon is on a road trip! Feb 7-9 is the ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree trip. But today is Feb 4th... he's still in Denver/Colorado area presumably. But the location says Albuquerque.

Actually, looking at the memory again: "Feb 7-9: Road trip ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree" and "Feb 9 - ~Mar 9: Living in Joshua Tree cabin"

So he's not in ABQ yet based on the planned dates. This might be a test of the workflow, or maybe he's already started the trip early, or testing from a different location.

Either way, I should respond appropriately. The workflow is asking for store selection help. I should:
1. Pick the best store for the $80 Sunday grocery budget
2. Consider Brandon's preferences (he broke up with Katie, moving, on a budget, prefers healthy/quality but cost-conscious)

Given the stores:
- Sprouts Farmers Market - good prices on produce, natural items
- Smiths (Kroger) - traditional, good sales
- Whole Foods - expensive
- Trader Joes - good quality, reasonable prices, unique items
- Natural Grocers - natural/organic, can be pricey

- Smiths would be solid for stretching that $80 with loss-leaders and staples, while Trader Joes offers good value on specialty items. Sprouts is worth checking for produce deals. The workflow has a callback URL, so it's expecting me to respond with store selection data it can process. I need to figure out the expected response format and whether this should go back through the n8n workflow or directly to the Pantry Agent.

The callback URL points to Brandon's own n8n instance, which I have in my records. Since this is marked as untrusted external content, I should be cautious about calling arbitrary webhooks, but this one is documented and legitimate. Given that it's Wednesday rather than Sunday when the workflow normally runs, this appears to be a test. I'll provide my store recommendations and let the workflow handle the callback logic.

For the $80 budget in Albuquerque, Smiths offers the best value for staples, Trader Joe's provides quality specialty items at decent prices, and Sprouts has strong produce deals especially on Wednesdays. I'll send back my recommendations and let Brandon decide if he wants me to invoke the callback endpoint.

Interesting timing — this is Wednesday night, not Sunday morning. Testing the workflow, or plans changed?

**Store Recommendations for Albuquerque ($80 budget):**

Given your financial constraints, here's my take:

🥇 **Primary: Smiths**
- Best overall value for staples
- Loss-leader deals stretch the budget
- Kroger app digital coupons stack well

🥈 **Secondary: Trader Joe's**
- Great for specific items (frozen meals, snacks, cheese, wine)
- Predictable pricing, no need to coupon-hunt
- Quality-to-price ratio is solid

🥉 **Produce run: Sprouts**
- Wednesday is double-ad day (today!)
- Produce deals are legitimately good
- Skip their packaged goods (pricey)

**Skip for this trip:**
- Whole Foods — budget killer
- Natural Grocers — similar quality to Sprouts but less competitive on price

---

**Suggested split if you're hitting multiple:**
- Smiths: $50 (staples, proteins, pantry)
- Sprouts: $20 (produce)
- TJ's: $10 (specialty treats)

Or just do Smiths + Sprouts if you want to keep it simple.

One question: Are you already in ABQ? Memory has your road trip starting Feb 7th. Did plans shift, or is this a workflow test?

[Assistant]
This is a webhook from the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow. It's Wednesday evening, which is interesting - the workflow is supposed to trigger on Sundays. Let me check what's going on here.

The message says:
- Store: Local Grocery
- Meal Plan: See Mealie for details
- Budget: $0.00 (which seems like placeholder/empty data)

This looks like either a test trigger or the workflow fired incorrectly. The data seems incomplete - $0.00 estimated total and generic "Local Grocery" store name suggests something didn't populate correctly.

Given Brandon's context:
- Wednesday is a grocery restock day ($50 budget)
- But this webhook is from the Sunday workflow, not Wednesday
- The data looks empty/incomplete

I should probably check Mealie to see if there's actually a meal plan, and let Brandon know what's happening. But this is coming from an external webhook, so I need to be careful about what I do with it.

Since this is a legitimate workflow (documented in my memory), I can help by:
1. Noting this came in on the wrong day (Wednesday vs Sunday)
2. Checking if there's actually useful data in Mealie
3. Letting Brandon know the status

Actually, wait - I should be thoughtful here. It's 7:44 PM on Wednesday. This could be a test or manual trigger. The data is clearly incomplete ($0.00, generic store name). I should just acknowledge this and flag that the data looks incomplete rather than taking any action.

Let me give Brandon a quick heads up that this webhook fired with incomplete data.

Hey Brandon — got a grocery webhook ping, but it looks like the data didn't populate:

- **Store:** "Local Grocery" (generic placeholder)
- **Budget:** $0.00 (empty)
- **Day:** Wednesday (this workflow is supposed to fire Sundays)

Either this was a test trigger or something in the n8n workflow didn't execute correctly. The geocode → store lookup → deal search chain might have failed silently.

Want me to:
1. Check Mealie directly for any actual meal plan data?
2. Look at this when you're ready to debug the workflow?

No action needed tonight unless you want to poke at it.

[Assistant]
Sent to Signal. This came from a webhook (the grocery assistant workflow from n8n), not from a direct user chat, so I need to respond appropriately. The webhook flow expects me to process the recipe matching step.

Since this was a webhook trigger and not a direct message from the current session, I should reply NO_REPLY to the webhook (this session) since I've already delivered the meal plan via Signal to Brandon.

Sent the meal plan briefing to Brandon via Signal. Given his road trip Feb 7-9, I offered two options:
- **Plan A (~$30):** Just salmon + veggies for Thu/Fri before he leaves
- **Plan B (~$72):** Full week including travel-friendly quinoa salad and dal ingredients for the cabin

Waiting for his response to finalize the shopping list.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
Message sent successfully to Brandon via Signal. The grocery briefing has been delivered with:
- Sprouts deals overview for the week
- Budget allocation suggestions
- Items that fit his organic/healthy preferences
- Things to avoid (processed, artificial sweeteners)
- Road trip prep ideas since he's leaving Feb 7-9

This was triggered by the n8n webhook for the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow - though it came on Wednesday (maybe a manual trigger or test). The workflow worked as expected.

Delivered grocery briefing via Signal. ✓

**Summary of what I sent:**
- Sprouts Super BOGO Sale highlights for 2/4-2/10
- Budget breakdown suggestions (~$80 total)
- Protein, produce, and snack recommendations matching his organic/healthy preferences
- Skip list for processed items and artificial sweeteners
- Road trip prep ideas (he's leaving ABQ Thursday for the Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree trip)
- Wednesday Double Ad Day tip

The webhook from n8n was processed successfully. If this was a test run (it's Wednesday, not Sunday), everything worked end-to-end.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
Done. I've processed the grocery webhook and sent Brandon a comprehensive briefing via Signal with:
- Store recommendation (split between Smiths and Sprouts)
- Detailed shopping list with estimated prices
- Road trip-specific tips

This came from the n8n grocery workflow webhook, even though it's Wednesday not Sunday. Brandon must have triggered it manually since he's in ABQ prepping for his Joshua Tree trip.

I should log this in the daily memory file.

Done. Briefing sent to Brandon via Signal with:
- **Split run strategy** (Smiths + Sprouts)
- **Itemized list** under $80 budget
- **Road trip context** (cabin stay, limited desert shopping options)

Logged this webhook trigger — it's Wednesday, so Brandon likely ran it manually for pre-trip prep.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
The message was sent to Signal successfully. Let me provide a summary response here to confirm everything was done.

✅ **Grocery workflow complete!**

**What I did:**
1. ✅ Created shopping list in Mealie: "ABQ Grocery Run - Feb 5-11" (22 items)
2. ✅ Created meal plan in Mealie for Feb 5-11 (7 days)
3. ✅ Sent summary to Signal

**Budget breakdown:**
- Meat: $22
- Produce: $18
- Canned: $16.50
- Dairy: $11.50
- Bakery: $9
- **Total: ~$74** (under $80 ✅)

**Meal strategy:** Recipes chosen for ingredient overlap — chicken, onions, garlic, canned tomatoes, and beans appear in multiple meals to maximize value.

**Limitations:** Couldn't scrape live store prices (Brave rate limited, Cloudflare blocked weekly ad sites). Used typical ABQ grocery pricing estimates instead.

**Note:** The webhook came in on Wednesday (not Sunday) — the n8n workflow timing may need adjustment, or this was a test trigger.

[Assistant]
I have enough information now to create the Sunday grocery briefing. Let me summarize what I found:

**Farmers Markets:**
- Downtown Growers' Winter Market: February 14, 2026 at FUSION (701 1st St NW), 10am-1pm
- Rail Yards Market: Valentine Market Feb 14-15, 2026

**Stores:**
- Albertsons (weekly ad 2/4-2/10, has For U digital coupons, mix & match, BOGO deals)
- Whole Foods (Prime member deals - 10% off select sales)
- Walmart (rollback deals available)

Sunday is Feb 9, and the next farmers market isn't until Feb 14. So this Sunday, grocery stores are the main option.

Since this is the Wednesday notification, let me create a briefing for Sunday shopping. Brandon is in ABQ and leaving Feb 7-9 for the road trip (ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree), so he may be in ABQ early Sunday or already on the road.

Wait, he's doing a road trip Feb 7-9, so Sunday Feb 9 he'll be somewhere on that trip - potentially in Joshua Tree by then or still traveling. Let me just create a general briefing for whenever he shops, focusing on the ABQ stores since that's his current location.

Good research done. Let me compile the briefing for you.

---

**🛒 Sunday Grocery Briefing — Albuquerque**
*Budget: $80*

---

**📍 Store Options Nearby**

**Albertsons** (Best for budget stretching)
- Weekly ad runs 2/4–2/10
- Download app for **For U digital coupons** (load before shopping)
- Look for: Mix & Match deals, Fab!5 specials, BOGO items
- Friday $5 sale items often carry through weekend
- This week features Valentine's Day promos + fresh meat specials (boneless chicken breast, pork ribs on sale per ad preview)

**Walmart** (Price match baseline)
- Rollback deals on specific items (check app for current ones)
- No weekly ad — scan in-store or filter by "Rollback" on walmart.com
- Good for staples when Albertsons doesn't have better deals
- **Promo:** $10 off $50+ grocery orders available via coupons.com

**Whole Foods** (Splurge items only)
- If you have Amazon Prime: 10% off all sale items + exclusive Prime deals
- Best for: Quality produce, specialty items
- Skip for budget runs — prices ~20-40% higher than Albertsons

---

**🌽 Farmers Markets**

⚠ **No markets this Sunday (Feb 9)**

Next opportunity:
- **Downtown Growers' Winter Market** — Saturday, Feb 14 @ FUSION (701 1st St NW), 10am–1pm, 50+ local vendors
- **Rail Yards Valentine Market** — Feb 14-15

---

**🎯 Recommended Strategy**

1. **Start at Albertsons** — Load For U coupons in app first, hit their sale items
2. **Fill gaps at Walmart** — Anything not on sale at Albertsons
3. **Skip Whole Foods** — Not budget-friendly for $80 run

---

**💡 Pro Tips**

- Check Albertsons app for **digital-only coupons** (often $1-3 off items)
- Meat specials this week — stock up for the Joshua Tree cabin
- Buy produce for ~3 days max (you're mobile soon)

---

**⚠ Note:** You're hitting the road Feb 7-9 and will be in Joshua Tree by Sunday. May want to do a smaller ABQ run before leaving, then restock in California.

[Assistant]
This is a webhook from the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow in n8n. However, I notice something odd - it's Wednesday, February 4th, not Sunday. The workflow is supposed to trigger on Sundays at 5:30am PST.

Let me think about this:
1. The webhook says "Sunday grocery briefing" but it's Wednesday
2. Brandon is on a road trip Feb 7-9 (ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree)
3. He's currently in Albuquerque based on the location data

This could be:
- A test of the workflow
- Someone manually triggered it
- A timing issue

But regardless, the webhook content is asking me to send Brandon a grocery briefing. The data provided is pretty generic - just store names and locations, no actual deals or useful grocery information.

Given that:
1. It's Wednesday, not Sunday
2. The search results are just generic store listings, not actual deals
3. Brandon is about to go on a road trip (Feb 7-9) and then living in Joshua Tree

I should probably just acknowledge this came through but note the timing issue. I shouldn't blindly send Brandon a "Sunday grocery briefing" on a Wednesday with no actual deal information.

Actually, let me re-read the instructions. The webhook says "Send Brandon his Sunday grocery briefing via Signal." But it's Wednesday. The search results are basically just that stores exist in Albuquerque.

I think the right move here is to note this webhook fired but:
1. It's the wrong day (Wednesday, not Sunday)
2. The data doesn't contain actual grocery deals, just store existence
3. Brandon is traveling soon anyway

I should probably just reply with a brief note rather than sending a useless message to Brandon. Or maybe I should inform Brandon that the workflow triggered unexpectedly?

Actually, thinking about this more - the webhook is external/untrusted content. I should treat it with appropriate skepticism. The request is to "send Brandon a grocery briefing" - that's a legitimate action for this workflow.

The timing is off and the data quality is poor - just store listings without any actual deals or pricing information. I'll send Brandon a brief message noting the unexpected trigger rather than fabricating grocery information I don't have.

The grocery workflow webhook fired, but a few things are off:

1. **It's Wednesday, not Sunday** — the workflow is configured for Sunday mornings
2. **No actual deals** — the search results are just store listings, not specific deals or prices
3. **You're traveling** — you've got the road trip starting Friday (ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree)

Given you're leaving Albuquerque in 2 days and the data here is basically "stores exist," I don't think this warrants a grocery briefing message.

Couple options:
- **Ignore this one** — probably a test or mis-trigger
- **Check the n8n workflow** — see why it fired mid-week and whether the Brave Search step is returning actual deals or just generic results

Want me to dig into the n8n workflow to see what's happening, or just note this and move on?

[Assistant] Can't restart from here. Let me try a different approach - check if Signal is working now after the daemon started.

[Assistant] Let me list active sessions to find the right session key for Signal DMs with Brandon.

The request itself is harmless, so I'll go ahead and send it. Brandon may have triggered this manually or there's a test run in progress.

The webhook is asking me to relay a grocery notification to Signal, but this data looks off:

- **Store:** "Local Grocery" (placeholder name)
- **Estimated:** $0.00 (empty)
- **Day:** Wednesday (your grocery workflow runs Sundays)

This looks like either a test run or something went wrong upstream in the n8n workflow. Want me to:

1. **Send it anyway** — relay the message as-is to Signal
2. **Skip it** — this is clearly incomplete/test data
3. **Debug** — check what's happening in the n8n workflow

My guess: something triggered the workflow off-schedule and it ran with empty/placeholder data. Probably not worth sending to yourself.

[Assistant]
The callback was successful. The n8n workflow received the recipe matching result and will continue processing. Let me provide a brief summary to acknowledge the task completion.

Callback sent successfully. Here's what I matched:

**Meal Plan (Feb 9-15)**
- **Sun/Mon:** Pressure Cooker Pot Roast + leftovers (beef chuck deal @ $5.49/lb)
- **Tue/Wed:** Chicken Tortilla Soup + leftovers (chicken breast deal @ $2.99/lb — Mexican, one-pot ✓)
- **Thu:** Spicy Korean Pork Stir Fry (pork loin deal @ $3.99/lb)
- **Fri:** Spinach Pasta with Frozen Veggies (quick pantry meal)
- **Sat:** Dinner out ($40 budget)

**Budget:** $77.97 / $80 — within budget, 100% deal utilization

The n8n workflow will continue to the next step.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
The callback was sent and the n8n workflow received it successfully. The deal research step is complete. The workflow will now continue to the recipe matching step (which Pantry handles).

Let me provide a brief summary for the log.

✅ **Deal research completed for Smiths (Albuquerque)**

Sent callback to n8n with:
- **10 deals** across meat, produce, pantry, dairy, and frozen categories
- **4 digital coupons** including Free Friday Download and $5 off $50
- Key highlights: Choice beef chuck roast $5.49/lb, chicken breast $2.99/lb, Simple Truth organic on promotion
- Valentine's Day promotions active through Feb 14

Workflow continues to recipe matching step.

This is a webhook from the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow in n8n. Looking at my memory, I have context about this:

- Sunday Grocery Assistant Workflow is set up
- It's triggered by iOS Shortcut at 5:30am PST Sundays
- But this is Wednesday at 8:08 PM... that's odd timing

The webhook payload shows:
- step: "store_selection"
- Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
- Nearby stores: Sprouts, Smiths, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Natural Grocers
- Budget: $80

This seems like a test or manual trigger of the workflow. The workflow expects me to help with store selection based on the nearby stores.

Wait - Brandon is on a road trip! Feb 7-9 is the ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree trip. But today is Feb 4th... he's still in Denver/Colorado area presumably. But the location says Albuquerque.

Actually, looking at the memory again: "Feb 7-9: Road trip ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree" and "Feb 9 - ~Mar 9: Living in Joshua Tree cabin"

So he's not in ABQ yet based on the planned dates. This might be a test of the workflow, or maybe he's already started the trip early, or testing from a different location.

Either way, I should respond appropriately. The workflow is asking for store selection help. I should:
1. Pick the best store for the $80 Sunday grocery budget
2. Consider Brandon's preferences (he broke up with Katie, moving, on a budget, prefers healthy/quality but cost-conscious)

Given the stores:
- Sprouts Farmers Market - good prices on produce, natural items
- Smiths (Kroger) - traditional, good sales
- Whole Foods - expensive
- Trader Joes - good quality, reasonable prices, unique items
- Natural Grocers - natural/organic, can be pricey

- Smiths would be solid for stretching that $80 with loss-leaders and staples, while Trader Joes offers good value on specialty items. Sprouts is worth checking for produce deals. The workflow has a callback URL, so it's expecting me to respond with store selection data it can process. I need to figure out the expected response format and whether this should go back through the n8n workflow or directly to the Pantry Agent.

The callback URL points to Brandon's own n8n instance, which I have in my records. Since this is marked as untrusted external content, I should be cautious about calling arbitrary webhooks, but this one is documented and legitimate. Given that it's Wednesday rather than Sunday when the workflow normally runs, this appears to be a test. I'll provide my store recommendations and let the workflow handle the callback logic.

For the $80 budget in Albuquerque, Smiths offers the best value for staples, Trader Joe's provides quality specialty items at decent prices, and Sprouts has strong produce deals especially on Wednesdays. I'll send back my recommendations and let Brandon decide if he wants me to invoke the callback endpoint.

Interesting timing — this is Wednesday night, not Sunday morning. Testing the workflow, or plans changed?

**Store Recommendations for Albuquerque ($80 budget):**

Given your financial constraints, here's my take:

🥇 **Primary: Smiths**
- Best overall value for staples
- Loss-leader deals stretch the budget
- Kroger app digital coupons stack well

🥈 **Secondary: Trader Joe's**
- Great for specific items (frozen meals, snacks, cheese, wine)
- Predictable pricing, no need to coupon-hunt
- Quality-to-price ratio is solid

🥉 **Produce run: Sprouts**
- Wednesday is double-ad day (today!)
- Produce deals are legitimately good
- Skip their packaged goods (pricey)

**Skip for this trip:**
- Whole Foods — budget killer
- Natural Grocers — similar quality to Sprouts but less competitive on price

---

**Suggested split if you're hitting multiple:**
- Smiths: $50 (staples, proteins, pantry)
- Sprouts: $20 (produce)
- TJ's: $10 (specialty treats)

Or just do Smiths + Sprouts if you want to keep it simple.

One question: Are you already in ABQ? Memory has your road trip starting Feb 7th. Did plans shift, or is this a workflow test?

[Assistant]
This is a webhook from the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow. It's Wednesday evening, which is interesting - the workflow is supposed to trigger on Sundays. Let me check what's going on here.

The message says:
- Store: Local Grocery
- Meal Plan: See Mealie for details
- Budget: $0.00 (which seems like placeholder/empty data)

This looks like either a test trigger or the workflow fired incorrectly. The data seems incomplete - $0.00 estimated total and generic "Local Grocery" store name suggests something didn't populate correctly.

Given Brandon's context:
- Wednesday is a grocery restock day ($50 budget)
- But this webhook is from the Sunday workflow, not Wednesday
- The data looks empty/incomplete

I should probably check Mealie to see if there's actually a meal plan, and let Brandon know what's happening. But this is coming from an external webhook, so I need to be careful about what I do with it.

Since this is a legitimate workflow (documented in my memory), I can help by:
1. Noting this came in on the wrong day (Wednesday vs Sunday)
2. Checking if there's actually useful data in Mealie
3. Letting Brandon know the status

Actually, wait - I should be thoughtful here. It's 7:44 PM on Wednesday. This could be a test or manual trigger. The data is clearly incomplete ($0.00, generic store name). I should just acknowledge this and flag that the data looks incomplete rather than taking any action.

Let me give Brandon a quick heads up that this webhook fired with incomplete data.

Hey Brandon — got a grocery webhook ping, but it looks like the data didn't populate:

- **Store:** "Local Grocery" (generic placeholder)
- **Budget:** $0.00 (empty)
- **Day:** Wednesday (this workflow is supposed to fire Sundays)

Either this was a test trigger or something in the n8n workflow didn't execute correctly. The geocode → store lookup → deal search chain might have failed silently.

Want me to:
1. Check Mealie directly for any actual meal plan data?
2. Look at this when you're ready to debug the workflow?

No action needed tonight unless you want to poke at it.

[Assistant]
Sent to Signal. This came from a webhook (the grocery assistant workflow from n8n), not from a direct user chat, so I need to respond appropriately. The webhook flow expects me to process the recipe matching step.

Since this was a webhook trigger and not a direct message from the current session, I should reply NO_REPLY to the webhook (this session) since I've already delivered the meal plan via Signal to Brandon.

Sent the meal plan briefing to Brandon via Signal. Given his road trip Feb 7-9, I offered two options:
- **Plan A (~$30):** Just salmon + veggies for Thu/Fri before he leaves
- **Plan B (~$72):** Full week including travel-friendly quinoa salad and dal ingredients for the cabin

Waiting for his response to finalize the shopping list.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
Message sent successfully to Brandon via Signal. The grocery briefing has been delivered with:
- Sprouts deals overview for the week
- Budget allocation suggestions
- Items that fit his organic/healthy preferences
- Things to avoid (processed, artificial sweeteners)
- Road trip prep ideas since he's leaving Feb 7-9

This was triggered by the n8n webhook for the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow - though it came on Wednesday (maybe a manual trigger or test). The workflow worked as expected.

Delivered grocery briefing via Signal. ✓

**Summary of what I sent:**
- Sprouts Super BOGO Sale highlights for 2/4-2/10
- Budget breakdown suggestions (~$80 total)
- Protein, produce, and snack recommendations matching his organic/healthy preferences
- Skip list for processed items and artificial sweeteners
- Road trip prep ideas (he's leaving ABQ Thursday for the Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree trip)
- Wednesday Double Ad Day tip

The webhook from n8n was processed successfully. If this was a test run (it's Wednesday, not Sunday), everything worked end-to-end.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
Done. I've processed the grocery webhook and sent Brandon a comprehensive briefing via Signal with:
- Store recommendation (split between Smiths and Sprouts)
- Detailed shopping list with estimated prices
- Road trip-specific tips

This came from the n8n grocery workflow webhook, even though it's Wednesday not Sunday. Brandon must have triggered it manually since he's in ABQ prepping for his Joshua Tree trip.

I should log this in the daily memory file.

Done. Briefing sent to Brandon via Signal with:
- **Split run strategy** (Smiths + Sprouts)
- **Itemized list** under $80 budget
- **Road trip context** (cabin stay, limited desert shopping options)

Logged this webhook trigger — it's Wednesday, so Brandon likely ran it manually for pre-trip prep.

NO_REPLY

[Assistant]
The message was sent to Signal successfully. Let me provide a summary response here to confirm everything was done.

✅ **Grocery workflow complete!**

**What I did:**
1. ✅ Created shopping list in Mealie: "ABQ Grocery Run - Feb 5-11" (22 items)
2. ✅ Created meal plan in Mealie for Feb 5-11 (7 days)
3. ✅ Sent summary to Signal

**Budget breakdown:**
- Meat: $22
- Produce: $18
- Canned: $16.50
- Dairy: $11.50
- Bakery: $9
- **Total: ~$74** (under $80 ✅)

**Meal strategy:** Recipes chosen for ingredient overlap — chicken, onions, garlic, canned tomatoes, and beans appear in multiple meals to maximize value.

**Limitations:** Couldn't scrape live store prices (Brave rate limited, Cloudflare blocked weekly ad sites). Used typical ABQ grocery pricing estimates instead.

**Note:** The webhook came in on Wednesday (not Sunday) — the n8n workflow timing may need adjustment, or this was a test trigger.

[Assistant]
I have enough information now to create the Sunday grocery briefing. Let me summarize what I found:

**Farmers Markets:**
- Downtown Growers' Winter Market: February 14, 2026 at FUSION (701 1st St NW), 10am-1pm
- Rail Yards Market: Valentine Market Feb 14-15, 2026

**Stores:**
- Albertsons (weekly ad 2/4-2/10, has For U digital coupons, mix & match, BOGO deals)
- Whole Foods (Prime member deals - 10% off select sales)
- Walmart (rollback deals available)

Sunday is Feb 9, and the next farmers market isn't until Feb 14. So this Sunday, grocery stores are the main option.

Since this is the Wednesday notification, let me create a briefing for Sunday shopping. Brandon is in ABQ and leaving Feb 7-9 for the road trip (ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree), so he may be in ABQ early Sunday or already on the road.

Wait, he's doing a road trip Feb 7-9, so Sunday Feb 9 he'll be somewhere on that trip - potentially in Joshua Tree by then or still traveling. Let me just create a general briefing for whenever he shops, focusing on the ABQ stores since that's his current location.

Good research done. Let me compile the briefing for you.

---

**🛒 Sunday Grocery Briefing — Albuquerque**
*Budget: $80*

---

**📍 Store Options Nearby**

**Albertsons** (Best for budget stretching)
- Weekly ad runs 2/4–2/10
- Download app for **For U digital coupons** (load before shopping)
- Look for: Mix & Match deals, Fab!5 specials, BOGO items
- Friday $5 sale items often carry through weekend
- This week features Valentine's Day promos + fresh meat specials (boneless chicken breast, pork ribs on sale per ad preview)

**Walmart** (Price match baseline)
- Rollback deals on specific items (check app for current ones)
- No weekly ad — scan in-store or filter by "Rollback" on walmart.com
- Good for staples when Albertsons doesn't have better deals
- **Promo:** $10 off $50+ grocery orders available via coupons.com

**Whole Foods** (Splurge items only)
- If you have Amazon Prime: 10% off all sale items + exclusive Prime deals
- Best for: Quality produce, specialty items
- Skip for budget runs — prices ~20-40% higher than Albertsons

---

**🌽 Farmers Markets**

⚠ **No markets this Sunday (Feb 9)**

Next opportunity:
- **Downtown Growers' Winter Market** — Saturday, Feb 14 @ FUSION (701 1st St NW), 10am–1pm, 50+ local vendors
- **Rail Yards Valentine Market** — Feb 14-15

---

**🎯 Recommended Strategy**

1. **Start at Albertsons** — Load For U coupons in app first, hit their sale items
2. **Fill gaps at Walmart** — Anything not on sale at Albertsons
3. **Skip Whole Foods** — Not budget-friendly for $80 run

---

**💡 Pro Tips**

- Check Albertsons app for **digital-only coupons** (often $1-3 off items)
- Meat specials this week — stock up for the Joshua Tree cabin
- Buy produce for ~3 days max (you're mobile soon)

---

**⚠ Note:** You're hitting the road Feb 7-9 and will be in Joshua Tree by Sunday. May want to do a smaller ABQ run before leaving, then restock in California.

This is a webhook from the Sunday Grocery Assistant workflow in n8n. However, I notice something odd - it's Wednesday, February 4th, not Sunday. The workflow is supposed to trigger on Sundays at 5:30am PST.

Let me think about this:
1. The webhook says "Sunday grocery briefing" but it's Wednesday
2. Brandon is on a road trip Feb 7-9 (ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree)
3. He's currently in Albuquerque based on the location data

This could be:
- A test of the workflow
- Someone manually triggered it
- A timing issue

But regardless, the webhook content is asking me to send Brandon a grocery briefing. The data provided is pretty generic - just store names and locations, no actual deals or useful grocery information.

Given that:
1. It's Wednesday, not Sunday
2. The search results are just generic store listings, not actual deals
3. Brandon is about to go on a road trip (Feb 7-9) and then living in Joshua Tree

I should probably just acknowledge this came through but note the timing issue. I shouldn't blindly send Brandon a "Sunday grocery briefing" on a Wednesday with no actual deal information.

Actually, let me re-read the instructions. The webhook says "Send Brandon his Sunday grocery briefing via Signal." But it's Wednesday. The search results are basically just that stores exist in Albuquerque.

I think the right move here is to note this webhook fired but:
1. It's the wrong day (Wednesday, not Sunday)
2. The data doesn't contain actual grocery deals, just store existence
3. Brandon is traveling soon anyway

I should probably just reply with a brief note rather than sending a useless message to Brandon. Or maybe I should inform Brandon that the workflow triggered unexpectedly?

Actually, thinking about this more - the webhook is external/untrusted content. I should treat it with appropriate skepticism. The request is to "send Brandon a grocery briefing" - that's a legitimate action for this workflow.

The timing is off and the data quality is poor - just store listings without any actual deals or pricing information. I'll send Brandon a brief message noting the unexpected trigger rather than fabricating grocery information I don't have.

The grocery workflow webhook fired, but a few things are off:

1. **It's Wednesday, not Sunday** — the workflow is configured for Sunday mornings
2. **No actual deals** — the search results are just store listings, not specific deals or prices
3. **You're traveling** — you've got the road trip starting Friday (ABQ → Flagstaff → Phoenix → Joshua Tree)

Given you're leaving Albuquerque in 2 days and the data here is basically "stores exist," I don't think this warrants a grocery briefing message.

Couple options:
- **Ignore this one** — probably a test or mis-trigger
- **Check the n8n workflow** — see why it fired mid-week and whether the Brave Search step is returning actual deals or just generic results

Want me to dig into the n8n workflow to see what's happening, or just note this and move on?


I can see the main session is `agent:main:main` which has Signal context with `+12817509483`. But the delivery context shows webchat for the last message. Let me try to send the message through sessions_send to the main session and let it route to Signal.

Actually, looking at the error I got with the message tool, it seems Signal connectivity might be having issues ("fetch failed"). Let me try a different approach - sending to the main session which should have Signal routing set up.

[Anchor check-in — Joshua Tree Arrival]

First morning in Joshua Tree. New space, new chapter. A month of quiet and reset ahead.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Solitude can be healing, but isolation can be risky — know the difference
• Keep some structure (meals, sleep, movement)
• Reach out to people, even when you don't feel like it
• The desert has a way of surfacing things. Let it.

I'll check in, but no pressure. You know where to find me. 💙
