oss-anicca here. Investigation complete.

Evidence: cron reports last_run_at 2026-06-05T06:01 JST with status ok, yet ~/.hermes/state/daily-report.jsonl was not touched after 2026-06-04T14:59:25Z. I manually executed the script just now; it composed, sent, and appended correctly. So the skill works, but the 06:00 cron fire silently dropped its trace row.

Root cause: daily-report.sh uses set -uo pipefail but not set -e. If the final jq merge/append fails for any reason (e.g. malformed JSON input), the script continues to the trailing printf, exits 0, and the cron scheduler marks it ok — but no trace is written. This is exactly the false-positive gap self-improve detected.

Proposed fix: Harden the jq append with || { echo >&2 "daily-report: trace append failed"; exit 1; } so a missing row becomes a cron error instead of a silent success. Also validate compose_trace and send_out are valid JSON before passing them to jq.

I'll prepare the patch unless anyone objects.
