+## Session milestones — 2026-04-28..29 (audio gen, digest applet, task-board polish, tooling)
+
+### Audio generation on irv-ml1 (A6000)
+
+- **ACE-Step 1.5** (music gen, Apache 2.0) — port 8210. Hybrid
+  diffusion + LLM, ~10-12 GB VRAM at inference. Custom `Dockerfile`
+  patches upstream's torch/cu126 resolution bug; patched
+  `infer-api.py` ships in the image (upstream's positional tuple is
+  missing 6 of 24 pipeline args). Verified bench: 60 s clip in
+  14.8 s (~4× realtime).
+- **Stable Audio Open 1.0** (SFX/ambience, Stability Community license)
+  — port 8211. Custom FastAPI shim wraps `diffusers.StableAudioPipeline`.
+  ~4-6 GB VRAM in fp16, up to 47 s clips at 44.1 kHz.
+
+### Daily Digest applet
+
+- **World + Local headline sections** above the existing tech/reddit
+  cards. `seed-headlines.py` provisions the categories and curated
+  feeds (BBC + NPR + Al Jazeera; LA Times + Voice of OC) in miniflux.
+- **Article-extracted summaries** via `trafilatura` — 2-3 sentence
+  summaries grounded in real article content (was: title-paraphrase).
+  Cached at `/output/.article-cache.json` with 7-day TTL. Adds ~30 s
+  per digest run, parallel-prefetched.
+- **Per-desk collapse** chevron, localStorage-persisted per device.
+- **Mobile-responsive** — true 480 px breakpoint, fixed masthead
+  overlap, cache-busted asset URLs.
+- **Multi-tenant** via `scripts/add-digest-user.sh <name>` — shared
+  miniflux + per-user digest stack (own port, hide-state, cron).
+  `DIGEST_CRON_AM` / `DIGEST_CRON_PM` are now env-driven; each
+  teammate's stack fires on their own hours.
+
+### task-board
+
+- **v0.1.11 pending_shells / orange treatment.** New `task_set_shells`
+  MCP tool + `pending_shells` field on the Task model (schema v6,
+  ALTER ADD COLUMN). When a card is `state=waiting` AND has
+  non-empty shells, it flips from blue (waiting on user) to orange
+  (waiting on background work). Cards with non-empty shells are
+  excluded from auto-dormant promotion.
+- **v0.1.12 card-bar rhythms** — three distinct pulse cadences
+  (active 2.4 s, waiting 3.6 s patient breath, attention 1.6 s
+  louder) so column scan reads at a glance.
+
+### Tooling
+
+- **`scripts/fork-fleet.sh`** — bootstrap a new fleet-management
+  workspace from this one. Mirrors reusable tooling, strips
+  fleet-specific content, regenerates skeleton CLAUDE.md / README /
+  STATUS, fresh git history.
+- **CLAUDE.md `task_set_shells` discipline** — assistant must call
+  `task_set_shells` on any `Bash run_in_background` (and clear when
+  done) so the orange treatment fires; hooks have no way to
+  enumerate Claude Code's bg tasks externally.
+
+### New stack on ana-docker
+
+- **memos** (port 5230) — stock `neosmemo/memos:stable`, SQLite at
+  `/opt/docker/conf/memos/data/`, homepage label `Notes` (auto-discovered).
+
 ## Session milestones — 2026-04-27 (irv-ml1 recovery + new GPU deploys)
 
 ### irv-ml1 fully recovered
