Generated lab notebook from daily_summary, plan_journal, plan_delivery_log, and setpoint audit data. It is intentionally chronological and may include in-progress cycles before validation.

Planner Execution Ledger

Planner checkpoints can acknowledge that the active plan is still suitable without writing a new public plan ID. Those no-change decisions are part of the audit trail.

Peak Stress15:01TRANSITIONackedAcknowledged: Peak-stress transition checked: live temp 83.1F is below temp_high 85F, VPD 1.25 kPa is only slightly above vpd_high 1.17 with healthy 11.4F dew margin, all wet/cooling equipment is currently off after recent recovery, and active plan iris-20260614-1438 already has band-coupled Sunday evening moisture posture (mister_engage_kpa 1.23, mister_all_kpa 1.43, fog_escalation_kpa 0.18, mister_pulse_gap_s 30).

Reflection

Validating previous cycle: iris-20260607-0532

Previous hypothesis: SUNRISE plan for Sunday 2026-06-07. Saturday scored 42.1 with both-axis compliance 32.7%; temperature was the bottleneck at 36.2% versus VPD 55.5%, and heat stress dominated at 14.88h with VPD-high 10.38h. I evaluated iris-20260606-0533 at 2/10 versus anchor 1: dew safety, zero VPD-low, and acceptable cost were real successes, but the main compliance hypothesis failed under physics-limited 94-96F heat and repeated guardrail/no-moisture-assist evidence. Today’s forecast repeats severe hot-dry pressure: 94F, RH 8%, VPD near 5 kPa, solar near 900+ W/m2. Retrieved evidence and validated lessons 131, 112, and 135 support a guardrail-aware band-coupled posture: live-confirm moisture ramp at dawn, then keep moisture/fog available near the active VPD band through peak and observed evening recovery, while accepting peak heat misses as structural rather than extending sealed mist. Result: Window scorecard for the governed recovery window: planner score 90.8, compliance 90.7%, temp compliance 94.9%, VPD compliance 94.1%, total stress 0.48h with no heat stress, about 0.56h cold stress, 0.52h VPD-low, and 0.00h VPD-high; cost was low at about USD 0.40. The manual recovery hypothesis was met for the Sunday evening through midnight portion: the greenhouse recovered to stable in-band conditions without repeating the 06-07 severe VPD-low/cold overfit, while preserving dew safety and low cost. The later Monday dry-ramp and Tue/Wed severe-day portions were not yet measurable at midnight, so this score applies only to the completed governed window. Score: 9/10

New finding: A guarded recovery posture with higher overnight dew floors, tapered mist duty, and no severe-day fog escalation until live VPD confirms the dry ramp can restore overnight compliance after a planner outage without repeating cool/humid VPD-low overfit. → Added to Lessons Learned

Hypothesis

Testing: Manual recovery: test whether a guarded live-confirm Monday plus full severe-day Tuesday/Wednesday posture restores plan coverage and improves VPD-high compliance without repeating the 06-07 VPD-low/cold overfit. Expected outcome: Target today remaining score above 80 with 0h dew-risk; Monday VPD-high under 4h and VPD-low 0h; Tuesday heat stress likely physics-limited but VPD assist should keep VPD-high lower than an unassisted severe day while cost remains near or below USD 5/day unless structural cooling requires more.
