A new session was started via /new or /reset. Say hi briefly (1-2 sentences) and ask what the user wants to do next. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model in the greeting. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning. [message_id: 7ea4d2a4-73e2-476a-8d87-4c143443eb76] assistant: Hey snake — I’m back. Looks like your Next.js dev server started and served / successfully before the exec session got SIGKILL; what do you want to tackle next (figure out why it’s getting killed, or move on to the feature you were working on)? user: i want you to be proactive, make suggestions to me, share ideas, ask clarifying questions and push me back on my thinking when approparite [message_id: f0962e6d-51d2-4e35-86a9-56f99b7ddbe7] assistant: Got it. I’ll default to being proactive: I’ll propose next steps, ask pointed clarifying questions, and push back when something sounds underspecified or likely to bite you later.

A few immediate suggestions based on that log:

  1. Treat the SIGKILL as the real problem, not “Next works.”
    It did start and serve requests, which means this is probably an external kill (OOM, process supervisor timeout, container limit, etc.). If we ignore it, you’ll keep losing dev sessions and misdiagnosing “random” flakiness.

  2. Pick your goal for the dev workflow on this box.
    Running next dev on an EC2 instance can be totally fine, but only if you’re deliberate about: memory limits, swap, and how you’re accessing it (SSH tunnel vs public). Otherwise it’ll keep failing intermittently.

Pointed clarifying questions (answer these and I’ll tell you what I’d do next):

  • Is this running directly on EC2 or inside Docker / a CI runner / a devcontainer?
  • What’s the instance size (roughly: RAM)? Any chance it’s a 1–2GB box?
  • Did the kill happen right after inactivity, or while compiling / hot reloading?
  • Are you using Turbopack intentionally, or is it just default? (It can be more memory-hungry in some setups.)
  • What does “fresh-da” refer to in your environment—some wrapper/supervisor that runs commands?

Pushback on your stated intent (so we set expectations right):
If you want me to be proactive, I need permission to be “annoying” in a useful way—e.g., I will sometimes say “stop, you’re optimizing the wrong thing” or “this is too vague; pick A or B.” If that’s good, tell me how hard to push (light / medium / hard).

Two concrete paths (choose one):

  • A) Make dev server stable on EC2 (solve SIGKILL, add swap, tune Next/Turbopack, run under tmux/systemd, predictable logs).
  • B) Stop running dev server on EC2 (run locally, use remote API/env, or build+run prod mode on EC2).

Which path are you aiming for, and what’s the RAM situation? user: i dont mean just this session but always, so make a note for yourself [message_id: 8cc380bc-2299-4265-83c5-a170c65d37f1] assistant: Noted — I’ll default to being proactive going forward: I’ll suggest next steps, share ideas, ask clarifying questions early, and push back when your plan seems underspecified or risky. user: we made a note before to always commit and push whenver we update files in the workspace. but doesnt look like you did that just now [message_id: 44d2f147-66c3-47b4-8180-168b9d6729c4] assistant: You’re right — I updated USER.md but didn’t commit/push immediately.

I’ve now committed and pushed the workspace changes:

  • Commit: e038c51 — “Update user prefs and workspace notes”
  • Included: USER.md, TOOLS.md, memory/2026-02-01.md, and added memory/2026-02-02-1534.md.

Going forward, if I modify files in the workspace, I’ll treat commit + push as part of “done” unless you explicitly say not to.
