Top 5 Things Worth Sam's Time Today

  1. sail-knowledge leaked-PAT incident is NOT closed. Yesterday's hotfix/redact-leaked-pat-2026-05-08 branch redacted the literal ghp_Z738...QscSe to a vault pointer in source, but four things remain open: (a) token revocation status unverified — Sam should confirm at github.com/settings/tokens; (b) git history still contains the live token on commit 9fe14c3 (needs git filter-repo and force-push); (c) no PR open for the hotfix branch; (d) staged+unstaged MM modifications on the redact-target file need folding. Highest-priority item of the day. Source: coding-audit Q1, repo-health P10.
  2. Cowork bash sandbox failed across the entire run host today. Every shell-dependent scheduled task hit useradd: input/output error on Linux sandbox boot. Five tasks fell back successfully via Desktop Commander (repo-health, coding-audit, broken-links, cannibalization, competitive-reviews). One hard-blocked: gads-search-term-review ran BLOCKED-ENV with no data pulled. Without a fix, gads-campaign-health 07:16 ET, semrush 08:09 ET, email-triage 12:01 PM ET, and handoff-audit 17:04 ET are likely to fail or degrade similarly.
  3. 🚨 Google Fonts URLs returning 404 on two live customer pages. Today's broken-links scan flagged fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com as 404 on Car Accident Attorney in Lexington, KY and What Is Added PIP Coverage?. Either CDN scanner false-positive or real rendering failure on those two pages. Verify in browser before any other content work.
  4. Saturday is the right day to clear 24 auto-fixable internal broken links + 3 self-redirect loops. Destinations are unambiguous (mostly /practice-areas/types/.../practice-areas/truck-accident-causes/... and /amazon-delivery-vehicle-accidents/.../practice-areas/delivery-vehicle-accidents/...). The three self-redirect loops are pure SEO leak: /covington-car-accident/ and /Brandenburg/ redirect to themselves; Sam's bio page /about-us/meet-our-team/sam-aguiar/ redirects to a Taylor Swift WDRB news story.
  5. sail-cases and sail-hr are 4 commits behind origin/main. Real divergence surfaced once today's git fetch succeeded (yesterday's global fetch failure had masked it). Both remote heads dated 2026-04-24, so local clones have been stale 2 weeks. git stashgit pull --ff-onlygit stash pop clears both.
