Build Log: AIS Challenge — Day 6

The assignment: build a scheduled automation. Scheduled Task or Loop, my choice.

I went with a Scheduled Task: Atlas Morning Coffee.

It wakes up on its own and gives me a real briefing — what's done, what's open, what needs my attention across the AIS Challenge and my other active work. No prompt from me. No opening a window. It just runs and leaves the report waiting.

What surprised me: I checked in on a run after the fact and found it had chewed all the way down to something like 136 MB of memory left — and just kept going anyway. No crash, no error. It finished the job inside its own limits without me ever noticing it was close.

→ Scheduled Task, not a Loop

→ Runs unattended, no session open

→ Reports real open priorities — contractor onboarding, sales pipeline, the next day of this challenge

→ Ran itself down to 136 MB free and still finished clean

Biggest hack: don't build a demo cron job just to prove the feature works. Wire the schedule into something I already need every morning anyway — that's the only way it survives past Day 6.

Screenshot below is an actual run, not a mockup.
