Nine of the eleven sessions between November 6 and November 19 were restarts. Brett opened nearly every session with some variation of "my session died", "I had to reset", or "the previous session was disconnected". And yet: the entire logging and notifications system was upgraded to a DB2-backed pipeline, the backdoor admin modules were ported into the main frontend, a full restaurant polling system was built from scratch, and the DataHub board engine was prototyped. The disconnects didn't stop the work — they just made the documentation and recovery strategies more sophisticated.

Late October through early November 2025 was the most technically intense period of the RABS admin build so far. The forum and messenger systems were fixed and rebuilt. The email system suffered a TLS connection crisis that affected every account. A progressive database migration from the legacy DB1 to the new DB2 began, introducing a dual-pool architecture and gradually migrating routes from the old database to the new one. And a comprehensive Comms platform — SMS, voice, video, and a full address book — was built in a single session.
