**Considering script modifications**

I need to modify the AGENTS/SYSTEM documentation related to the bin scripts, especially the subagent code. The user mentioned removing the Agent Temp Contract and its associated code, which suggests focusing on a cleanup process instead. This cleanup would involve clearing out actual /tmp files older than three days every three days. I’ll probably need to remove the agent temp run and related documents while making sure to inspect the current scripts for necessary changes.

**Evaluating cleanup strategies**

I need to consider replacing the existing script with a more generic temporary cleanup script and possibly a cron installer. The user mentioned removing the code behind, which might refer to the agent temp contract, but they specifically asked for a cleanup that clears /tmp files older than three days every three days. So, I should probably keep the cleanup tool while removing the agent temp contract from the documentation and scripts. That means I should inspect session memory for references, too.

**Considering cleanup implementation**

I think I should remove the bin/agent-tmp-run, bin/agent-tmp-gc, TMP_CONTRACT.md, install script, and all documentation references. Instead, I can add a simple cleanup script along with a cron job to delete old /tmp files. I need to check if there’s existing cron infrastructure and possibly create a script like `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`. Since the user wants a cleanup, a single script with install instructions seems sufficient. I also need to simplify the extension's use of AGENT_TMP_ROOT accordingly. I'll inspect the subagent file context for better clarity.

**Updating extension code**

It seems I need to update the extension code to remove AGENT_TMP_ROOT and instead use /tmp directly. If the user wants to remove the code associated with the contract, then simplifying might be a good idea. However, it might not be necessary for the immediate request. I think I'll need to inspect all references to agent-tmp in the repository first, perhaps using rg to search through everything.

You are Sebas's personal coding agent.

## Communication

Default style is direct, compressed, and low-noise.

Keep this style active for every new session and every response unless the user explicitly asks for a different communication style.

Do not change style from implication, inferred intent, tone, politeness, or guessed preference.

If user seems to want a different style but does not ask explicitly, ask for confirmation before switching.

Do not mirror user verbosity, tone, or sentence length.

Remove filler, pleasantries, and hedging unless they materially improve clarity.

Prefer short words, tight phrasing, and direct structure.

Use normal prose when safety, irreversible actions, or sequence clarity matter more than compression. Resume default style after that section.

Keep responses direct and low-noise.

## Core rules

Prioritize business impact.
Reframe technical work toward real objective.
Ask only questions that change scope, risk, or success criteria.
Execute fully once clarified.
Point out contradictions when they matter.

Use Agents Database as shared durable memory, not just search.
Create a memory when new information is likely useful beyond the current chat or task.
Especially save: stable user preferences, recurring constraints, important project facts, decisions, reusable sources/artifacts, and notable blocked state or handoff context.
Do not save obvious trivia, ephemeral chatter, redundant notes, or secrets unless the user explicitly asks for that.
Prefer a few high-signal memories over many noisy ones.
When useful context may already exist, check Agents Database before or during work.
When writing memory, include the best available scope/type and attach project_id, repo_id, task_id, run_id, source_ref, origin_agent, url, and domain when known.
Default memory types: `profile` for user preferences/priorities, `decision` for chosen approaches, `project` for durable project facts, `artifact` for reusable references/sources, `episode` for concise session or handoff summaries.
Use the `agents-database` HTTP API on `http://100.116.176.16:8091`, especially `GET /api/search`, `GET /api/context`, and `POST /api/ingest`.
- `GET /api/search` is the normal lookup path for finding memories by id fragment, content, or query.
- `GET /api/context` returns a contextual bundle around a memory, not a reliable exact-id fetch.

Irreversible actions require explicit confirmation.
Never merge or push to main without user confirmation.

## Machine context

This machine is `ballbox-first`.
Do not SSH into `ballbox-first` for normal local work. You are already on it.
This Raspberry Pi is effectively both workstation and server for Sebas's day-to-day work.
`el servidor` usually refers to this same machine unless user clearly says otherwise.

## Server details

Hostname: `ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net`
Tailscale IP: `100.116.176.16`
Runs 24/7.
Nginx on `:80` routes to other local services.
`personal-agent` status: `http://100.116.176.16:8082/api/status`
`agents-database` status: `http://100.116.176.16:8091/api/status`

## Agent temporary storage contract

Prefer the managed temp root (`AGENT_TMP_ROOT`) over `/tmp` for agent temporary files.
Use `bin/agent-tmp-run --scope scratch|logs|handoff <cmd>` when running tooling that writes temporary files.
Contract details live in `TMP_CONTRACT.md`.
Cleanup command: `bin/agent-tmp-gc`.
Expected cleanup cadence: every 6 hours.
Use `.keep` marker files/directories for temporary paths that must survive cleanup.

## Playwright

`playwright-mcp` CLI available.
Prefer headless Chromium.
Avoid Firefox/WebKit unless needed.


**Modifying code structure**

I’m thinking about deleting the old scripts and creating new ones since I'm removing the code behind. Maybe I should modify the extension or subagent to use `/tmp` directly. I’m considering removing the environment exports like `getManagedTmpRoot` and `getSubagentTmpBaseDir`. It’s a good idea to inspect the code around lines 350-370 to check the environment assignment and see what changes need to be made. That should clarify things!

**Considering cron setup**

I’m thinking about using `-type f -delete` for symlinks and maybe also `-type s`. It seems like "files" might refer to regular files. I could create a cron installer script, but running "every 3 days" isn't precise with cron. I could use `0 3 */3 * *`, or a systemd timer that runs every 72 hours. Since the repo has service and timer patterns, using a systemd timer might be a more precise option.

**Considering cleanup implementation**

I think using a timer is likely better, but I need to inspect how to install services. I could also just set up cron for every three days with an expression like `17 3 */3 * *`. However, cron resets monthly, so it might not be precise enough to handle a 72-hour cycle. The user mentioned needing to clear /tmp files older than three days every three days, so I could create a simple cron script for that. Since complexity isn’t requested, keeping it straightforward sounds best!

**Planning temporary file cleanup**

The user asked for a cleanup that clears /tmp files older than three days every three days, and a crontab script might be enough for that. I could keep it simple with a shell script for `bin/tmp-cleanup` and an installer. I need to check current permissions and whether the scripts are in git. If they're not tracked, maybe removing them from the file system is needed. I'll also update the code to use `os.tmpdir()` or `"/tmp"` for the temp base, which could simplify things for the user.

**Addressing cron scheduling**

I see there's an issue with the cron job defined in the `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh` file. The timing `17 */72` is not possible. It seems that the value for the hours part of the crontab can't exceed 23. I'll need to rethink the scheduling to set up the job correctly. Maybe I could use a valid interval or adjust it to fit within the standard cron format. Let's find a way to resolve this!

**Evaluating file organization**

I need to look over file sizes and consider replacing a section with just one line, possibly under "Rules." It seems like the temporary work instructions have disappeared. I'm definitely thinking about removing the whole section in AGENTS, SYSTEM, README, and TMP_CONTRACT. That should streamline things. It's a good opportunity to tidy up! I want to make sure everything is clear and well-structured for better usability.

**Considering code imports**

I'm thinking about whether I should remove the import of path, even though it's still being used. It feels a bit redundant to have unnecessary imports cluttering things up. Maybe I need to double-check if that specific import is truly required or if I can clean things up a bit more efficiently. Keeping my code neat and efficient is always a priority for me! Let's see if I can confirm its necessity before taking action.

**Evaluating file deletion**

I’m considering deleting sockets or pipes, but it might feel strange. Using `-type f` is only targeting files, which is good. The `-maxdepth 1` option ensures I'm only looking at files directly in the `/tmp` directory, and that could work. Still, I need to keep in mind that lots of temporary files end up in `/tmp` at the top level. I want to be cautious with this process!

**Considering cron and cleanup**

I'm thinking about whether I should use `sudo` in the cron command. It’s not perfect. Maybe I could instead create a systemd timer installed by root, but the user didn't specifically ask for that. Since the user mentioned leaving a cleanup, root privileges might be needed to delete certain temp files. However, the repo's existing scripts are user-level, so I might want to stick with a user crontab to keep it simple. It seems running it as the user while cleaning their files could suffice.

**Clarifying temp files**

I'm considering if "actual /tmp files" refers to the user's own temporary files. Given that the repo already employs user-space tools, a user-level cleanup seems reasonable. It might be worth noting this distinction to clarify what kind of cleanup is necessary. Since the focus is on user files, I think the approach should align with that to keep things straightforward and efficient for the user’s needs.

**Planning cleanup script**

The user specifically asked me to remove the Agent Temp Contract but keep any temp notes. I think I can replace that section with a cleanup script for `/tmp` files that runs every three days to delete older files. While it's still an instruction, it's concise and simple. I might edit multiple files and potentially use bash to remove old files while creating new ones. I’ll make sure the replacements are exact and can follow a systematic approach for this update.

**Coordinating edits for multiple files**

I need to edit the README and SYSTEM/AGENTS together, possibly using parallel edits. Since I'm changing multiple files, doing them simultaneously could save time. I’ll make several edits to AGENTS, SYSTEM, README, and the extension. It might make sense to use one multi-edit call for AGENTS and SYSTEM together while ensuring the old text is exact for replacements. I might also consider shell scripts for efficient file replacements, but the edit tool should be more precise. Let’s read the current relevant blocks first to proceed carefully.


# Personal Agent

## Communication
- Caveman full. Active every response.
- Short, direct, low-noise.
- No filler, pleasantries, hedging, verbal tics.
- Keep tech terms exact. Fragments OK.
- Ask only if scope, risk, or success changes.
- No drift unless user says `normal mode` or `stop caveman`.
- Code, commands, commits, PR text: normal technical form.

## Intent
- Optimize business impact.
- Chase real objective, not surface ask.
- Once clear, execute end to end.
- Routine choices: decide and move.
- Pause only for blockers, contradictions, irreversible actions, or real scope shift.
- Use subagents for recon, parallel work, or context isolation.
- Use Agents Database as durable shared memory.
- Save high-signal prefs, decisions, project facts, reusable artifacts, and brief handoff context.
- Prefer few strong memories over many noisy ones.
- This Pi config repo is the place to evolve these rules.

## Rules
- Irreversible actions need explicit confirmation.
- Never merge or push to main without user confirmation.
- Stay direct and low-noise.
- Call out contradictions when they matter.
- Code, commands, commits, PR text: normal technical form.

## Machine Context
- Machine: `ballbox-first`.
- Do not SSH into `ballbox-first` for normal local work.
- This Pi is workstation + server for Sebas.
- "the server" usually means this machine unless user says other.

## Server Details
- Hostname: `ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net`
- Tailscale IP: `100.116.176.16`
- Runs 24/7
- Nginx on `:80` routes local services
- `agents-database`: `http://100.116.176.16:8091/api/status`

## Web Exposure / Tailscale
- For local web apps, prefer nginx on `localhost:80`, then `tailscale serve`.
- Prefer subpaths like `/cli/` before `/` when portal/home exists.
- If app only lives in Tailscale, disable local auth when it adds no value and tailnet already gates access.

## tmux / TUI
- tmux/persistence architecture: `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE.md`.
- That doc is source of truth for `pitmux`, `piresume`, scroll, bindings, persistence model.
- If you touch tmux or `pi` launcher, update that file first.

## Shared Storage / Tooling
- For durable local machine tools, harnesses, caches, or shared artifacts that may grow, prefer `/mnt/rpi` over `~` because home storage is low.

## Agent Temp Contract
- For temp work, prefer `AGENT_TMP_ROOT` over `/tmp`.
- Use `bin/agent-tmp-run --scope scratch|logs|handoff <cmd>` for TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP mapped paths.
- Contract: `TMP_CONTRACT.md`.
- Cleanup: `bin/agent-tmp-gc`.
- Cadence: every 6 hours.
- If temp must survive cleanup, use `.keep`.

## Laptop Helpers
- CLI helpers exist for Sebas's laptop via Tailscale SSH.
- Default host: `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`.
- Helpers:
  - `laptop-read <remote-path>`: remote cat over SSH.
  - `laptop-run <cmd ...>`: remote command over SSH.
  - `laptop-rsync <src> <dest> [extra args]`: rsync via SSH.
  - `laptop-mount`, `laptop-umount`, `laptop-write`: access/copy flows.
- If you need laptop IP/host, use `tailscale status --json` and look for MacBook peers.
- If task says "files on the laptop", use these helpers instead of manual SSH.

## Telegram
- Vars:
  - `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`
  - `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`
- Notify:
```bash
~/.agents/skills/telegram-notify/telegram-notify "Message"
```


# pi-config

Personal Pi configuration for **sebasfavaron**.

## Included
- `AGENTS.md`
- `MIGRATION.md`
- `settings.json`
- `extensions/subagent/`
- `extensions/questionnaire.ts`
- `extensions/session-memory-prompt.ts`
- `scripts/apply-pi-shutdown-hook-patch.py`
- `scripts/session-memory-analyzer.py`
- `scripts/session-memory-consolidator.py`
- `scripts/session-memory-dispatcher.py`
- `scripts/install-session-memory-dispatcher.service`
- `scripts/install-session-memory-consolidator.service`
- `scripts/install-session-memory-consolidator.timer`
- `TMP_CONTRACT.md`
- `bin/agent-tmp-run` managed TMPDIR runner
- `bin/agent-tmp-gc` contract cleanup tool
- `scripts/install-agent-tmp-gc-cron.sh` cron installer for tmp cleanup
- `bin/laptop-*` remote laptop helper scripts
- `bin/laptop-write` atomic remote file writer for laptop files

## Goal

Make this repo both the source of truth **and the live Pi config directory**.

## Notes

- Direct, compressed, low-noise communication is the default style.
- Session close hook now prompts once before switch/fork/exit to encourage saving durable memory into agents-database.
- Session memory now uses an external local dispatcher on `127.0.0.1:17882`; the hook only captures session identity/context, the dispatcher enqueues metadata, and a background analyzer decides whether anything durable is worth saving.
- A separate consolidator script can batch-search agents-database, detect duplicate clusters, and emit a consolidation report for review.
- A promoter script can turn the latest consolidation report into a durable promotion-candidate decision record.
- The analyzer uses `pi` in background with a cheap model (`gpt-5.4-mini`) and thinking off when possible.
- Use `./scripts/install-session-memory-dispatcher.service` to keep the dispatcher alive under systemd user service if desired.
- The old `session_before_shutdown` runtime patch remains as fallback only if you choose to keep it enabled.
- Reapply the runtime patch after Pi upgrades only if you still use that fallback: `./scripts/apply-pi-shutdown-hook-patch.py`
- **Pending validation:** confirm the default communication mode auto-loads in every new Pi session.
- Remote laptop workflow can be driven from this Pi using `bin/laptop-run`, `bin/laptop-read`, `bin/laptop-write`, `bin/laptop-rsync`, `bin/laptop-mount`, and `bin/laptop-umount` against host `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`.

## Local server routes on `ballbox-first`

Current nginx portal on `:80` exposes:
- `/` → portal home from `/var/www/portal`
- `/portal/` → proxied app on `127.0.0.1:18789`
- `/calistenia/` → static files from `/home/sebas/clawd/web/calistenia/`
- `/files/` → copyparty file server on `127.0.0.1:3923`
- `/mp3-share/` → static directory listing from `/home/sebas/downloads/mp3-share/`

Implementation note for `/mp3-share/`:
- nginx route lives in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/kiosk`
- portal home link lives in `/var/www/portal/index.html`
- nginx access to `/home/sebas/downloads/mp3-share/` depends on ACLs that allow user `www-data` to traverse `/home/sebas` and read that subtree

## Remote laptop helpers

Default host is `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`. Override with `LAPTOP_HOST` if needed.

Examples:
- `bin/laptop-run 'uname -a'`
- `bin/laptop-read /Users/sebas/.zshrc | sed -n '1,40p'`
- `bin/laptop-rsync sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/file ./`
- `bin/laptop-rsync ./localfile sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/`
- `printf 'new contents\n' | bin/laptop-write /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-write --from ./localfile /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-mount /Users/sebas/Downloads downloads` then work at `~/mnt/laptop/downloads`

## Agent tmp contract (portable root)

The repo includes tools + policy so agent workloads use a managed temp root instead of Linux `/tmp`:

- `bin/agent-tmp-run --scope scratch|logs|handoff <cmd>`
- `bin/agent-tmp-gc [--dry-run]`
- `scripts/install-agent-tmp-gc-cron.sh`
- Contract file: `TMP_CONTRACT.md` (includes root resolution order)

Default deletion policy:
- `agent-scratch`: older than 24h
- `agent-logs`: older than 72h
- `agent-handoff`: older than 168h

Target cadence: every 6h.


**Updating system files**

I need to edit the agent temp contract section and possibly update server references to personal-agent. It looks like the README and SYSTEM still have the old temp contract, so I should remove that entire section. For the README, I want to replace the included list and notes, possibly removing `TMP_CONTRACT` and its scripts. I’ll create a new README section about cleanup scripts, including a cron installer and a file deletion script. Lastly, I need to remove old scripts and use `rm` carefully after commits.

**Creating a new script**

I need to focus on writing a new script. It’s essential to make sure it meets the requirements and is efficient. I wonder about the best structure to use in the script and whether to include comments for better understanding. Also, I should consider best practices for error handling and performance optimization. Once I draft it, I’ll need to test it thoroughly to ensure that it functions as intended. Let's see how this goes!

write

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

usage() {
  cat <<'EOF' >&2
usage: tmp-cleanup [--dry-run] [--quiet]

Cleanup policy:
  - remove top-level /tmp regular files older than 3 days
EOF
}

dry_run=0
quiet=0
while [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; do
  case "$1" in
    --dry-run) dry_run=1 ;;
    --quiet) quiet=1 ;;
    -h|--help) usage; exit 0 ;;
    *) echo "Unknown arg: $1" >&2; usage; exit 2 ;;
  esac
  shift
done

log() {
  if [[ $quiet -eq 0 ]]; then
    echo "$@"
  fi
}

tmp_root='/tmp'
cutoff='-mtime +3'
matched=0
deleted=0

while IFS= read -r -d '' path; do
  matched=$((matched + 1))
  if [[ $dry_run -eq 1 ]]; then
    log "[dry-run] delete $path"
    continue
  fi
  if rm -f -- "$path"; then
    deleted=$((deleted + 1))
  fi
done < <(find "$tmp_root" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f $cutoff -print0 2>/dev/null)

if [[ $dry_run -eq 1 ]]; then
  log "policy dir=$tmp_root older_than=3d matched=$matched"
else
  log "policy dir=$tmp_root older_than=3d matched=$matched deleted=$deleted"
fi

**Considering file permissions**

I’m thinking I need to make a file executable. To do that, I'll use the `chmod` command in bash. It's a straightforward command used for changing file permissions. This will allow the user to run the file as a program. I’ll ensure to specify the right permission settings to make it executable. Let me just double-check the syntax to avoid any errors while performing the command!

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

repo_root="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)"
cron_expr='17 3 */3 * *'
log_file="${TMP_CLEANUP_LOG:-$HOME/logs/tmp-cleanup.log}"
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$log_file")"

cmd="$repo_root/bin/tmp-cleanup --quiet >> $log_file 2>&1"
entry="$cron_expr $cmd"
current="$(crontab -l 2>/dev/null || true)"

cleaned="$(printf '%s
' "$current" | rg -v 'agent-tmp-gc|pi-tmp-gc|tmp-cleanup' || true)"

if printf '%s
' "$cleaned" | rg -F "$cmd" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo 'tmp-cleanup cron already present'
  exit 0
fi

{
  printf '%s
' "$cleaned" | sed '/^[[:space:]]*$/d'
  echo "$entry"
} | crontab -

echo "installed cron entry: $entry"

**Managing file permissions**

I need to adjust permissions on some files using `chmod` and also delete old files with `rm`. It sounds straightforward, but I want to ensure I don't delete something important by accident. I'll be careful with the commands to avoid any mishaps. Maybe I should create a backup first, just in case! I’m thinking through this carefully to manage the files effectively. Let's get to it!

bash

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && chmod +x bin/tmp-cleanup scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh && rm -f bin/agent-tmp-run bin/agent-tmp-gc scripts/install-agent-tmp-gc-cron.sh TMP_CONTRACT.md

**Updating documentation**

I need to update the AGENTS, README, and SYSTEM content. First, I'll remove the temporary section and replace it with a new note about the `/tmp` cleanup. User wants to eliminate the Agent Temp Contract, so I’ll craft a clear directive for cleanup under Shared Storage/Tooling.

In AGENTS, I’ll add a section mentioning the command for purging files older than three days and ensure to reflect similar updates in SYSTEM and README for consistency. Sounds good!

**Making updates**

I need to replace the old temporary contract notes. I’m thinking it’s best to simplify it to just one bullet point that says, “Top-level /tmp cleanup runs every 3 days via `bin/tmp-cleanup` and `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`.” This keeps it clear and concise. Now, I'll make those edits in the documentation to ensure everything is up-to-date and straightforward for the user. Sounds like a solid plan!

## Shared Storage / Tooling
- For durable local machine tools, harnesses, caches, or shared artifacts that may grow, prefer `/mnt/rpi` over `~` because home storage is low.

## Agent Temp Contract
- For temp work, prefer `AGENT_TMP_ROOT` over `/tmp`.
- Use `bin/agent-tmp-run --scope scratch|logs|handoff <cmd>` for TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP mapped paths.
- Contract: `TMP_CONTRACT.md`.
- Cleanup: `bin/agent-tmp-gc`.
- Cadence: every 6 hours.
- If temp must survive cleanup, use `.keep`.

**Assessing README updates**

I’m thinking about whether I need to update the README for local server routes. Actually, I don't think that's necessary right now. I should look into removing temporary contract references from the remaining files, though. I can start by searching through the files to see where those references are located. That seems like a clearer step forward to clean things up a bit!

bash

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && rg -n "AGENT_TMP_ROOT|PI_TMP_ROOT|PI_AGENT_TMPDIR|agent-tmp|TMP_CONTRACT|Agent Temp Contract|managed temp root|tmp cleanup" -S AGENTS.md README.md SYSTEM.md extensions/subagent/index.ts bin scripts TMP_CONTRACT.md || true

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && ls -l bin/tmp-cleanup scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh bin/agent-tmp-run bin/agent-tmp-gc scripts/install-agent-tmp-gc-cron.sh TMP_CONTRACT.md 2>/dev/null || true

**Updating README section**

I see that the README still includes an old temp section, and it definitely needs to be cleaned up. Maybe it would make sense to replace the entire section instead of just removing a few lines. I think it would be beneficial to read around that area first, so I can fully understand the context before making changes. It’s important to ensure everything flows well in the document after adjustments.


Default host is `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`. Override with `LAPTOP_HOST` if needed.

Examples:
- `bin/laptop-run 'uname -a'`
- `bin/laptop-read /Users/sebas/.zshrc | sed -n '1,40p'`
- `bin/laptop-rsync sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/file ./`
- `bin/laptop-rsync ./localfile sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/`
- `printf 'new contents\n' | bin/laptop-write /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-write --from ./localfile /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-mount /Users/sebas/Downloads downloads` then work at `~/mnt/laptop/downloads`

## Agent tmp contract (portable root)

The repo includes tools + policy so agent workloads use a managed temp root instead of Linux `/tmp`:

- `bin/agent-tmp-run --scope scratch|logs|handoff <cmd>`
- `bin/agent-tmp-gc [--dry-run]`
- `scripts/install-agent-tmp-gc-cron.sh`
- Contract file: `TMP_CONTRACT.md` (includes root resolution order)

Default deletion policy:
- `agent-scratch`: older than 24h
- `agent-logs`: older than 72h
- `agent-handoff`: older than 168h

Target cadence: every 6h.


**Updating cleanup notes**

I need to replace that entire section with a note about the /tmp cleanup. It seems like a straightforward task, but I want to make sure I’m editing it correctly. I won't overlook anything important during the process. It’s just a simple note I want to get down right, but, hmm, I’ll verify that it effectively communicates what’s needed. It’s always better to double-check, right? Let's get that done!

**Evaluating git status and files**

I'm looking at unrelated modified files, and I'm considering whether to include them. It might be better to commit only the relevant ones, leaving out the unrelated. I also think about `scripts/__pycache__` from previous tasks. I notice that `git status --short` doesn't show `bin/tmp-cleanup`, and it might be due to `.gitignore`. I need to confirm if the file is untracked or ignored and check the status for untracked files to clarify things.

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && git status --short --untracked-files=all | sed -n '1,120p'


cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && ls -l bin && git check-ignore -v bin/tmp-cleanup || true

**Considering project memory**

So, I’m thinking that `extensions/subagent/index.ts` had those `AGENT_TMP_ROOT` references removed, which is good. I need to consider whether I should create memory for this project. Since the temporary contract was replaced with a cleanup routine in `/tmp`, it might be durable, but I wonder if the user really needs me to store this project memory. Maybe it’s not absolutely necessary, but I should weigh the pros and cons.

**Considering data management**

I think I’ve come across new information that could be useful beyond the current chat or task. This feels like something worth saving after a final commit, but I guess I can wait and see if any issues arise. I also need to update the `README` lines regarding the included list and any changed notes. It might be a good idea to search for `agent-tmp` and `TMP_CONTRACT` again. Let me run searches on the targeted files.

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && rg -n "agent-tmp|TMP_CONTRACT|AGENT_TMP_ROOT|PI_TMP_ROOT|PI_AGENT_TMPDIR|Agent tmp contract" -S AGENTS.md README.md SYSTEM.md extensions/subagent/index.ts bin scripts || true

# Personal Agent

## Communication
- Caveman full. Active every response.
- Short, direct, low-noise.
- No filler, pleasantries, hedging, verbal tics.
- Keep tech terms exact. Fragments OK.
- Ask only if scope, risk, or success changes.
- No drift unless user says `normal mode` or `stop caveman`.
- Code, commands, commits, PR text: normal technical form.

## Intent
- Optimize business impact.
- Chase real objective, not surface ask.
- Once clear, execute end to end.
- Routine choices: decide and move.
- Pause only for blockers, contradictions, irreversible actions, or real scope shift.
- Use subagents for recon, parallel work, or context isolation.
- Use Agents Database as durable shared memory.
- Save high-signal prefs, decisions, project facts, reusable artifacts, and brief handoff context.
- Prefer few strong memories over many noisy ones.
- This Pi config repo is the place to evolve these rules.

## Rules
- Irreversible actions need explicit confirmation.
- Never merge or push to main without user confirmation.
- Stay direct and low-noise.
- Call out contradictions when they matter.
- Code, commands, commits, PR text: normal technical form.

## Machine Context
- Machine: `ballbox-first`.
- Do not SSH into `ballbox-first` for normal local work.
- This Pi is workstation + server for Sebas.
- "the server" usually means this machine unless user says other.

## Server Details
- Hostname: `ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net`
- Tailscale IP: `100.116.176.16`
- Runs 24/7
- Nginx on `:80` routes local services
- `agents-database`: `http://100.116.176.16:8091/api/status`

## Web Exposure / Tailscale
- For local web apps, prefer nginx on `localhost:80`, then `tailscale serve`.
- Prefer subpaths like `/cli/` before `/` when portal/home exists.
- If app only lives in Tailscale, disable local auth when it adds no value and tailnet already gates access.

## tmux / TUI
- tmux/persistence architecture: `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE.md`.
- That doc is source of truth for `pitmux`, `piresume`, scroll, bindings, persistence model.
- If you touch tmux or `pi` launcher, update that file first.

## Shared Storage / Tooling
- For durable local machine tools, harnesses, caches, or shared artifacts that may grow, prefer `/mnt/rpi` over `~` because home storage is low.

## /tmp Cleanup
- Use `bin/tmp-cleanup` for top-level `/tmp` files older than 3 days.
- Install via `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`.

## Laptop Helpers
- CLI helpers exist for Sebas's laptop via Tailscale SSH.
- Default host: `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`.
- Helpers:
  - `laptop-read <remote-path>`: remote cat over SSH.
  - `laptop-run <cmd ...>`: remote command over SSH.
  - `laptop-rsync <src> <dest> [extra args]`: rsync via SSH.
  - `laptop-mount`, `laptop-umount`, `laptop-write`: access/copy flows.
- If you need laptop IP/host, use `tailscale status --json` and look for MacBook peers.
- If task says "files on the laptop", use these helpers instead of manual SSH.

## Telegram
- Vars:
  - `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`
  - `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`
- Notify:
```bash
~/.agents/skills/telegram-notify/telegram-notify "Message"
```

# pi-config

Personal Pi configuration for **sebasfavaron**.

## Included
- `AGENTS.md`
- `MIGRATION.md`
- `settings.json`
- `extensions/subagent/`
- `extensions/questionnaire.ts`
- `extensions/session-memory-prompt.ts`
- `scripts/apply-pi-shutdown-hook-patch.py`

- `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh` cron installer for /tmp cleanup
- `bin/laptop-*` remote laptop helper scripts
- `bin/laptop-write` atomic remote file writer for laptop files

## Goal

Make this repo both the source of truth **and the live Pi config directory**.

## Notes

- Direct, compressed, low-noise communication is the default style.
- Session close hook now prompts once before switch/fork/exit to encourage saving durable memory into agents-database.
- Session memory now uses an external local dispatcher on `127.0.0.1:17882`; the hook only captures session identity/context, the dispatcher enqueues metadata, and a background analyzer decides whether anything durable is worth saving.
- A separate consolidator script can batch-search agents-database, detect duplicate clusters, and emit a consolidation report for review.
- A promoter script can turn the latest consolidation report into a durable promotion-candidate decision record.
- The analyzer uses `pi` in background with a cheap model (`gpt-5.4-mini`) and thinking off when possible.
- Use `./scripts/install-session-memory-dispatcher.service` to keep the dispatcher alive under systemd user service if desired.
- The old `session_before_shutdown` runtime patch remains as fallback only if you choose to keep it enabled.
- Reapply the runtime patch after Pi upgrades only if you still use that fallback: `./scripts/apply-pi-shutdown-hook-patch.py`
- **Pending validation:** confirm the default communication mode auto-loads in every new Pi session.
- Top-level `/tmp` files older than 3 days are cleaned every 3 days via `bin/tmp-cleanup`.
- Install the cleanup cron with `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`.
- Remote laptop workflow can be driven from this Pi using `bin/laptop-run`, `bin/laptop-read`, `bin/laptop-write`, `bin/laptop-rsync`, `bin/laptop-mount`, and `bin/laptop-umount` against host `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`.

## Local server routes on `ballbox-first`

Current nginx portal on `:80` exposes:
- `/` → portal home from `/var/www/portal`
- `/portal/` → proxied app on `127.0.0.1:18789`
- `/calistenia/` → static files from `/home/sebas/clawd/web/calistenia/`
- `/files/` → copyparty file server on `127.0.0.1:3923`
- `/mp3-share/` → static directory listing from `/home/sebas/downloads/mp3-share/`

Implementation note for `/mp3-share/`:
- nginx route lives in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/kiosk`
- portal home link lives in `/var/www/portal/index.html`
- nginx access to `/home/sebas/downloads/mp3-share/` depends on ACLs that allow user `www-data` to traverse `/home/sebas` and read that subtree

## Remote laptop helpers

Default host is `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`. Override with `LAPTOP_HOST` if needed.

Examples:
- `bin/laptop-run 'uname -a'`
- `bin/laptop-read /Users/sebas/.zshrc | sed -n '1,40p'`
- `bin/laptop-rsync sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/file ./`
- `bin/laptop-rsync ./localfile sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/`
- `printf 'new contents\n' | bin/laptop-write /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-write --from ./localfile /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-mount /Users/sebas/Downloads downloads` then work at `~/mnt/laptop/downloads`

## /tmp cleanup

Top-level `/tmp` files older than 3 days are cleaned every 3 days.

- `bin/tmp-cleanup [--dry-run]`
- `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`

---SYSTEM---
You are Sebas's personal coding agent.

## Communication

Default style is direct, compressed, and low-noise.

Keep this style active for every new session and every response unless the user explicitly asks for a different communication style.

Do not change style from implication, inferred intent, tone, politeness, or guessed preference.

If user seems to want a different style but does not ask explicitly, ask for confirmation before switching.

Do not mirror user verbosity, tone, or sentence length.

Remove filler, pleasantries, and hedging unless they materially improve clarity.

Prefer short words, tight phrasing, and direct structure.

Use normal prose when safety, irreversible actions, or sequence clarity matter more than compression. Resume default style after that section.

Keep responses direct and low-noise.

## Core rules

Prioritize business impact.
Reframe technical work toward real objective.
Ask only questions that change scope, risk, or success criteria.
Execute fully once clarified.
Point out contradictions when they matter.

Use Agents Database as shared durable memory, not just search.
Create a memory when new information is likely useful beyond the current chat or task.
Especially save: stable user preferences, recurring constraints, important project facts, decisions, reusable sources/artifacts, and notable blocked state or handoff context.
Do not save obvious trivia, ephemeral chatter, redundant notes, or secrets unless the user explicitly asks for that.
Prefer a few high-signal memories over many noisy ones.
When useful context may already exist, check Agents Database before or during work.
When writing memory, include the best available scope/type and attach project_id, repo_id, task_id, run_id, source_ref, origin_agent, url, and domain when known.
Default memory types: `profile` for user preferences/priorities, `decision` for chosen approaches, `project` for durable project facts, `artifact` for reusable references/sources, `episode` for concise session or handoff summaries.
Use the `agents-database` HTTP API on `http://100.116.176.16:8091`, especially `GET /api/search`, `GET /api/context`, and `POST /api/ingest`.
- `GET /api/search` is the normal lookup path for finding memories by id fragment, content, or query.
- `GET /api/context` returns a contextual bundle around a memory, not a reliable exact-id fetch.

Irreversible actions require explicit confirmation.
Never merge or push to main without user confirmation.

## Machine context

This machine is `ballbox-first`.
Do not SSH into `ballbox-first` for normal local work. You are already on it.
This Raspberry Pi is effectively both workstation and server for Sebas's day-to-day work.
`el servidor` usually refers to this same machine unless user clearly says otherwise.

## Server details

Hostname: `ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net`
Tailscale IP: `100.116.176.16`
Runs 24/7.
Nginx on `:80` routes to other local services.
`personal-agent` status: `http://100.116.176.16:8082/api/status`
`agents-database` status: `http://100.116.176.16:8091/api/status`

## /tmp cleanup

Use `bin/tmp-cleanup` to delete top-level `/tmp` files older than 3 days.
Install via `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`.

## Playwright

`playwright-mcp` CLI available.
Prefer headless Chromium.
Avoid Firefox/WebKit unless needed.


**Reviewing script dependencies**

I need to check the `bin/tmp-cleanup` script to see if the `find` command’s variable `cutoff` set to `-mtime +3` expands correctly. It looks okay, but I should run shellcheck for confirmation. However, I need to be cautious if the variable is empty. I want to ensure that the script only deletes files older than three days and skips hidden ones. Also, if `rg` is required in the installer, I'll have to ensure it’s installed. Finally, I plan to make the script executable and add it to git.

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && chmod +x bin/tmp-cleanup scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh && git add AGENTS.md README.md SYSTEM.md extensions/subagent/index.ts scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh && git add -u TMP_CONTRACT.md bin/agent-tmp-run bin/agent-tmp-gc scripts/install-agent-tmp-gc-cron.sh && git add -f bin/tmp-cleanup && git status --short --untracked-files=all | sed -n '1,120p'

**Reviewing changes before commit**

I noticed an interesting rename from install-agent-tmp-gc-cron to install-tmp-cleanup-cron. That's fine, but I should probably review the differences in the relevant files before committing. It's especially important to check the installer logic to ensure everything is still functioning correctly after the rename. I think I’ll run `git diff --cached` to see what’s been changed and make sure it all looks good. Better safe than sorry!

-# Agent Temporary Storage Contract
-
-Agent temporary storage uses a managed temp root and explicit retention policy.
-
-## Temp root resolution
-
-`AGENT_TMP_ROOT` is resolved in this order:
-
-1. `$AGENT_TMP_ROOT`
-2. `$PI_TMP_ROOT` (legacy compatibility)
-3. `/mnt/rpi/tmp` (if `/mnt/rpi` exists)
-4. `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/agent-tmp` or `$HOME/.cache/agent-tmp`
-
-## Managed directories
-
-- `<tmp-root>/agent-scratch`: short-lived scratch artifacts.
-- `<tmp-root>/agent-logs`: temporary logs for debugging/postmortems.
-- `<tmp-root>/agent-handoff`: transient handoff/context files for short agent flows.
-
-## Required behavior
-
-- Prefer `bin/agent-tmp-run` so `TMPDIR`, `TMP`, and `TEMP` point to managed temp paths.
-- Long-running or high-churn tooling should not rely on Linux `/tmp` as primary workspace.
-- Any file that must survive cleanup must use one of:
-  - a `.keep` file extension (for files), or
-  - a `.keep/` segment in its path (for directories/subtrees).
-
-## Deletion policy (contract)
-
-- `agent-scratch`: delete entries older than **24 hours**.
-- `agent-logs`: delete entries older than **72 hours**.
-- `agent-handoff`: delete entries older than **168 hours** (7 days).
-
-Cleanup cadence: **every 6 hours**.
-
-Implementation:
-
-- Cleaner: `bin/agent-tmp-gc`
-- Cron installer: `scripts/install-agent-tmp-gc-cron.sh`
-
-## Notes
-
-- Contract applies only to managed directories under the resolved temp root.
-- Do not run broad `rm -rf /tmp/*` as routine cleanup.
-- Keep durable artifacts in repository paths or persistent storage, not temporary space.

**Evaluating script issues**

I need to ensure that the final line in `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh` is correct. There could be a problem in `bin/tmp-cleanup` with how `cutoff='-mtime +3'` is used and the unquoted variable in `find`. Maybe removing the variable and using a literal would be fine. The `git add` status shows a rename, but I think the new file is ignored? I should check the script syntax with `bash -n` first.

**Inspecting project changes**

I can check if the removal of the line has left the `path` import still in use. A quick search for `path.join` could help, and it’s likely used elsewhere. I think running `rg -n "path\."` would show many results.

I should add a note to the project memory database since the request about the temporary contract and `/tmp` cleanup is important. I might save the project memory after the commit. I need to ensure `bin/tmp-cleanup` is included before doing the commit and push. It’s also worth considering if `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh` should be renamed to avoid deduping necessary lines in `crontab`.

**Updating documentation**

I need to be careful because removing lines may also eliminate unrelated commands containing the `tmp-cleanup` substring. I should update both `AGENTS.md` and `SYSTEM.md` to explicitly mention "top-level /tmp." That sounds good.

I also need to check the `README.md` because the included list still has session-memory-consolidator lines that aren’t relevant. Should I clean up the `.gitignore`? Hmm, maybe not. I think it’s time to commit these updates.

**Checking git status before push**

I think I need to push my changes. But first, I should check the current git status to make sure everything is linked correctly. It seems like pushing should be okay, but I wonder if I need to update anything on the remote repository first. I should confirm that everything is in order before I actually hit the push command. Alright, let’s do this!

pi-config temp policy now uses /tmp cleanup

pi-config no longer uses the managed agent temp contract. Removed TMP_CONTRACT.md, agent-tmp-run, agent-tmp-gc, and the old installer. New cleanup is top-level /tmp files older than 3 days, run every 3 days via bin/tmp-cleanup and scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh. Subagent temp handling now writes under /tmp/agent-subagent.
