text: ok - i've made a new Jimmy in ~/project/divorce/richard.  can you copy our Richard docs into there and also write up a summary of the current divorce situation and his relationship to it?


role: assistant

text: I’m going to inspect the new `~/project/divorce/richard` repo first so I can copy into the right place and follow any local instructions there, then I’ll gather the Richard-related notes from this repo and write a clean handoff summary.


text: I’ve confirmed the new repo exists. Before I touch it, I’m reading its local instructions so the copy lands in the right place and under the right Jimmy.

text: to be clear - Richard in this context is Richard Vander Wende, not Richard Boswell.


text:
Understood.

In this context, `Richard` means `Richard Vander Wende`, not `Richard Boswell`.

That changes the scope completely. I had started from the wrong Richard and should not carry any Boswell assumptions forward.

Current state:
- I have **not** copied anything into `~/project/divorce/richard` yet.
- I have only read the new repo’s local instructions.
- The existing note `legal/records/analysis/2026-03-24_richard_ai_medium_strategy_note.md` was written against the wrong Richard context and should not be treated as valid for Vander Wende.

If you want, I’ll now restart clean and gather only `Richard Vander Wende` material.


text: no.  that ai medium strategy IS the correct Richard.  i almost never speak of Richard Boswell, i'm not sure how you got his name.  all references to Richard thus far have been Richard Vander Wende.


text:
Understood.

Then the mistake was mine, not the note’s.

- `Richard` in this repo context has been `Richard Vander Wende`.
- I incorrectly inferred `Richard Boswell` from stray search noise and should not have done that.
- The AI-medium strategy note can stand as written if it matches Vander Wende.

So the correction is:
- the note is fine
- my label was wrong

If you want to proceed, I’ll treat `Richard` as `Richard Vander Wende` everywhere unless you tell me otherwise.


text: yes, and make those docs for me please.


text: I’m restarting on the correct Richard: Vander Wende. First I’m locating the Richard-specific material in this repo, then I’ll copy the relevant note(s) into `~/project/divorce/richard` and add a clean summary of the divorce context and Richard’s role in it.


text: I’ve located the Richard material. Before I write into the new repo, I’m doing the required Jimmy anchor read for `divorce-richard`, then I’ll create a small `notes/` area there, copy the existing Richard note, and add a fresh summary/timeline tied to the source messages.


text: I’m pulling the Richard material into the new repo and writing the two docs there: one copied strategy note and one fresh summary of the divorce context and Richard Vander Wende’s role in it.


text: I’ve got the repo voice and the destination repo is still basically empty. Next step is to pull the Richard source material, then I’ll write a clean handoff note in the new repo instead of dumping raw thread scraps in there.


text: I’ve got the main source hits. I’m pulling the exact February and March passages now so the new summary can be citation-driven instead of hand-wavy.


text: I’ve got the key sequence now: Karl disclosed Richard to Lisa, went to Spokane during the initial separation rupture, had the bad AI/recording confrontation there, and Lisa later revived it after talking to Richard. I’m writing the summary around that sequence and keeping the citations tight.


text: I’m making the new repo useful, not just populated: copied the existing strategy note, and the new summary is going to separate verified facts, competing accounts, and open evidentiary gaps so it’s safe to build on later.


text: The files are in place. I’m doing a quick pass now because shell heredocs have a habit of sneaking in ugly quote artifacts if you don’t check them immediately.


text:
Made in `richard/analysis`:

- `richard/analysis/2026-03-24_richard_ai_medium_strategy_note.md`
- `richard/analysis/2026-03-24_richard_vander_wende_divorce_context_summary.md`

What the new summary does:
- sets the current divorce context
- explains why Richard matters without overstating his legal role
- lays out the Spokane / recording / triangulation timeline
- separates Karl’s account from Lisa’s later account
- lists the main evidentiary gaps if you want to firm this up later

One important correction the summary keeps straight:
- the record shows Karl told Lisa on `2026-02-07` that he had told Richard about the marital issues, so the initial Richard disclosure appears to have come from Karl, not Lisa

If you want, next I can do one of these:
1. make a tighter one-page Richard timeline
2. pull and organize direct Richard-related source excerpts
3. set up a drafts file for the first message if Richard reaches out


text: nope, that's fine.  i'm going to switch to that Jimmy and let him continue thinking about Richard.


text: Makes sense. The new repo has enough scaffolding for that Jimmy to pick up cleanly.
