I might be reading this wrong but I’m not convinced it helps. My read of this is basically we get 1 free go at surviving and can send messages back to the start point for the second go to try and survive.
You could keep a running commentary of what you’re doing and where you’re going which would give you a little bit of notice of where and when you die but unless you can time loop and continually adjust the plan until you find something that works I don’t see how knowing 1 point of failure is enough to keep you alive.
Maybe someone smarter than me has a better idea though, or I’ve got the prompt wrong.
But then that’s me sending a message to past me and the messages can only go as far back as today, so that’s like me writing a message right now and then reading it right now.
So I need to be able to meet with the assassin and somehow send a message with location and date so that past me can avoid it. Repeat until the 7 days end.
I guess I’m also not smart enough. Sigh… Past self, I tried, but I don’t understand the rules, so we’re dead now.

OK, but what happens to current me if it sends a message that leads past me on a course that will not lead to it’s current state?
Does it create multiple time lines? Might that lead to a near infinite amount of messages received at the beginning of the period?
