A scheduled headless agent sweeps every source at dawn and writes the morning briefing before anyone is awake.
The Command Center's promise is that it stays current without being tended. The mechanism is a Windows scheduled task at 06:30 (wake-from-sleep and catch-up-if-missed enabled) that launches a headless Claude Code session pinned to Sonnet 5 at x-high effort — the operator's floor for any real work.
The session runs /refresh-console under the same binding contract as any interactive session, and it is deliberately conservative: it reports drift, it never silently fixes it. It sweeps the assignment queue (separating the agents' backlog from Ian's own items), task staleness, git motion across both repos, real record counts, the goals and learning pulse, and yesterday's activity log — then writes the deep, sectioned Daily Briefing and one honest activity-log line.
By the time the console is opened in the morning, the briefing is already there: queue, motion, numbers, stale flags, today's top calls, risks, and the decisions waiting on the operator.
