The journaling system of record since 2026-06-07. All diaries, journals, and briefings live here as iCloud books โ one dated .md file per entry โ replacing the old flat files in ~/Sync/ED/.
- Books at
~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~aschmid~notebooks/Documents/<Book>/: Diary, Farm Journal, Bee Journal, Pond Journal, Planting Journal, Equipment Journal, Notes & Ideas, Morning Briefing, From Claude (reports Claude writes for Ed). - Single write path:
~/scripts/notebooks-entry.pyโ every pipeline (dictation, daily briefing, Claude sessions) writes through it; never compose iCloud paths by hand. - Cron-readable mirror (2026-07-13): macOS TCC blocks cron/launchd from iCloud paths, so
notebooks-entry.pywrite-throughs a mirror at~/Sync/ED/.notebooks-mirror/<Book>/. Anything running from cron (the Ed dashboard builder,check-briefing-stale.sh) reads the mirror. - Dictation dash-commands route to books automatically (
dash farm journal,dash bee journal,dash pond journal, โฆ) โ see the dictation pipeline docs. - Web capture: the Notebooks clipper (bookmarklet/extension โ note + PDF).
