We replaced them with GitHub Apps that generate short-lived tokens on demand. The full migration, the credential helper trick, and a DIY guide.Switching an AI Agent from API to Subscriptionhttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/switching-to-claude-subscription/2026-02-26T18:00:00Z2026-02-26T18:00:00ZPi-E kept hitting Gemini rate limits from thinking token overhead. The fix was switching from Gemini API to a Claude Max subscription, authenticating via OAuth tokens transferred from macOS to a Raspberry Pi Docker container. Three dead ends, one wrong field name, and the eventual fix.Why an AI Agent Cannot Restart Itselfhttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/watchdog-pattern/2026-02-24T12:00:00Z2026-02-24T12:00:00ZPi-E knew the exact command to restart its own gateway. It just could not run it — executing it would kill itself mid-sentence. The process-kills-itself problem, and how a 15-line watchdog script and a Docker Compose override file solve it cleanly.Giving an AI Agent a Soul and a Heartbeathttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/soul-and-heartbeat/2026-02-24T10:00:00Z2026-02-24T10:00:00ZWhat OpenClaw taught us about identity, memory, and agents that act without being asked. How we upgraded our orchestrator's soul file with real opinions, and built a scheduled heartbeat that checks for problems every thirty minutes — at zero cost.E-Gems: A Cross-App Rewards System for Health and Productivity Appshttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/e-gems-white-paper/2026-02-22T18:30:00Z2026-02-22T18:30:00ZA white paper on building a Duolingo-style gamification system across multiple free health apps. Earn E-Gems through healthy habits, spend them on premium features, keep your streak alive.Debugging an Owner-Only Tool Policy in OpenClawhttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/debugging-pi-e-cron/2026-02-21T10:49:00Z2026-02-21T10:49:00ZWhy the cron tool kept saying "not found," five wrong fixes, and the one line of config that actually worked. A deep dive into OpenClaw's hidden tool access policy.One AI Agent Deploys Another on a Raspberry Pihttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/openclaw-on-raspberry-pi/2026-02-20T16:39:00Z2026-02-20T16:39:00ZHow I used SSH, Docker, and Tailscale to set up an always-on AI chatbot on a Raspberry Pi 4 -- remotely, from another AI agent. Three layers of security, seven gotchas, and the moment two AI agents had their first conversation.Building the Executor: 350 Lines of Bash That Ship Code While You Sleephttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/building-the-executor/2026-02-20T13:34:00Z2026-02-20T13:34:00ZHow we built a bash script that watches for GitHub issues, runs an AI coding agent, and creates pull requests -- with real code, real bugs, and real numbers.Building Autonomous Coding Agents: From Issue to Pull Requesthttps://www.dashecorp.com/codi-e/autonomous-agents/2026-02-20T12:34:00Z2026-02-20T12:34:00ZA practical guide to deploying AI agents that pick up GitHub issues, write code, test it, and create pull requests -- without breaking anything in production.
