Info:

  • This is an append-only work log.
  • Main purpose: help future me resume work quickly.
  • Public readability is useful, but this is not a polished monthly report.
  • You can say this is a AGENT.md/CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md for my future self.

Rules:

  • Keep entries date-stamped and in chronological order.
  • Record changes, decisions, risks, and the next actions.
  • Keep private life, job-process details, and sensitive experiment details out.
  • If one section grows too large, split it into a standalone post later.

Current State

  1. Research:
  • Levels journal-grade diagnostic chain.
  • BP4D++ dataset label limitations for stress estimation, may affect the experiment design.
  • Review the possibility of VLM/LLM for emotion recognition for next research direction.
  1. Job preparation:
  • Review 2 past exam question sets.
  1. New Blog
  • Backend/content release gate is passing locally and in GitHub Actions.
  • GitHub Pages is disabled for the new repo; Cloudflare Pages is the staging/production target.
  • Next step is creating a new Cloudflare Pages project from Ender-Jones/personal_blog_astro.

Do Not Forget

  • Do your LeetCode/acm practice.
  • Must do research.

Current Next Actions

  • Create the new Cloudflare Pages project for Ender-Jones/personal_blog_astro.
  • Validate the *.pages.dev staging site before any domain cutover.
  • Confirm Giscus app authorization before enabling comments on any post.

Standalone Candidates

  • BP4D++ label limitations for stress estimation
  • BP4D++ dataset overview and preprocessing for stress estimation
  • Review of VLM/LLM for emotion recognition and hardware requirements.

Project

New blog backend / Cloudflare Pages staging

Done

  • Synchronized old posts, worklogs, and draft coverage from the old blog into the new site.
  • Added a release gate for content validation, Astro check/build, artifact verification, and old-blog audit.
  • Preserved legacy Markdown rendering semantics for Chirpy prompt blocks and image layout attributes.
  • Configured GitHub Actions as build-only release validation.
  • Disabled GitHub Pages deployment for the new repo to avoid project-path preview conflicts.
  • Documented Cloudflare Pages setup as the staging and production path.

Decision

  • Use Cloudflare Pages *.pages.dev as the only real staging environment.
  • Keep enderjones.com on the old site until the new staging deployment passes final checks.
  • Do not use GitHub project Pages for preview because this site is built for the root path.

Risk

  • Accidentally selecting Ender-Jones/Ender-Jones.github.io in Cloudflare would keep deploying the old site.
  • Binding enderjones.com before staging verification would prematurely cut over production.

Next

  • Create a new Cloudflare Pages project connected to Ender-Jones/personal_blog_astro.
  • Verify homepage, posts, worklogs, tags, about, 404, robots, sitemap, images, and Giscus behavior on the *.pages.dev URL.
  • After staging passes, archive/stop the old site and bind the production domain to the new Cloudflare Pages project.

project

New blog design

Done

  • Finalized most of the design.

Decision

  • None.

Risk

  • DO MORE LEETCODE/ACM.

Next

  • finish research and journal paper.

2026-05-15

project

New blog design / Research

Done

  • Astro blog 4 iterations.
  • Made a levels experiment final journal-grade diagnostic chain.
  • Rewrite README.md for research for journal.

Decision

  • We can not make a levels experiments work using current model.

Risk

  • Should go for lower level place for journal.

Next

  • Finish the diagnostic chain.

Project

Experiment result investigation / Context file manage

Done

  • Reconstructed md memory files.
  • Added single seed investigation script.
  • Made some investigation for low performance issue.
  • T3 low/high does not have strong signal, binary feature screening of logreg/linear_svm showed even contact BVP macro-f1 is 0.5596.
  • z-score/no z-score in Quantile MTF showed completely identical picture.

Decision

  • Do future investigation for journal writing.

Risk

  • Gonna go fast.

Next

  • More investigation.

2026-05-12

project

Research monitoring & adjusting.

Done

  • Core run complete with lower than baseline performance.

Decision

  • Investigate problem and improve.

Risk

  • Might cost my paper can publish.

Next

  • Define the problem is in the method or data processing flow.

2026-05-11

Project

UEvolve implementation:

  • Scoped a closed-loop RAG workflow connecting indexing, retrieval, decision evidence, and knowledge write-back.
  • Scoped a self-extension validator to check scaffold, schema, tests, dry-run apply, build, execution, and rollback.
  • Scoped an export/import package flow for sharing self-generated tools as validated distributable packages.

Research experiments.

Done

  • RAG part is finished and tested, PR is merged
  • Experiment 2 core runs is up and running.

Decision

  • Do more research things

Risk

  • Journal won’t be in time at this rate.

Next

  • EDA-Augmented CCT-LSTM evaluation experiment part 2.

Project

UEvolve vibe coding

Done

  • Reviewed the project with Meng.
  • Had plan for next steps.

Decision

  • Collaborate with Meng on the implementation of the UEvolve.
  • Defined a parallel plan for multi-agent orchestration.

Risk

  • Research is remain the first priority.
  • Implementation may take more time than expected, which could delay the research progress.

Next

  • Start implementing the UEvolve based on the defined plan.
  • Continue with the research experiments in parallel.
