Rubix is missing.

Dear builders,

We need your help.

If you haven't met him, Rubix is the AI SRE inside RubixKube. He takes the night shift. He watches the deploys, the metrics, the logs and the traces while the rest of us sleep, and he has never once complained about it.

On the night of 30 September he was on watch for a service called after-hours. It was a quiet night. Then something felt off. A small blip. A deploy that didn't sit right. He started digging.

At 03:17:42 UTC, he went silent.

We found his desk the next morning. Laptop open, coffee cold, and a note that said RUBIX WAS HERE. No message for us. No instructions. Nothing in the chat. We put up posters around the office. Nobody has called.

We've gone over that night a few times and we still can't tell you what happened to him. But Rubix never does anything without leaving a trace. Whatever happened, it left a trail, and every part of that trail is public.

So we're asking you to find him. You'll need a terminal, git and Docker. Start at afterhours.rubixkube.ai, and remember that builders leave history.

The first person to find him wins an M5Stack Cardputer and the RubixKube kit, with a Rubix of your own to keep. Everyone who finds him gets an Operator Key. Hold on to it. This is the first of several.

When you find him, open an issue on rubixkube-io/after-hours with your Operator Key, from the same GitHub account. Please don't post the answer or the steps while the hunt is on. Let the next person have the night you're about to have.

Find Rubix.
