| responsibility | zulip-mention-reliability | Monitors whether Abiba Bot is correctly detecting and responding to @mentions in Zulip stream topics. Tests periodically, diagnoses failures, and attempts fixes. Same self-improving pattern as litellm-self-heal. |
Maintains
- mention_response_rate: number — % of @mentions that get a response (target: >95%)
- last_test_result: "pass" | "fail" | "degraded"
- known_failure_modes: array — History of what went wrong and how it was fixed
- queue_health: "healthy" | "expired" | "reconnecting"
Success Criteria
- test_mention_gets_response == true — Send @Abiba Bot test, confirm response within 30s
- stream_subscription_active == true — Bot is subscribed to #agent-hub and #general chat
- queue_active == true — PM2's event queue is registered and polling
- no_echo_loop == true — Bot doesn't respond to its own messages
- dm_always_works == true — DMs still respond even if streams are broken
Known Failure Modes (from History)
| Failure | Root Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No stream events | Bot had 0 stream subscriptions | Subscribe via API |
| No @mention detection | botUserId was null (register endpoint doesn't return it) | Fetch from /api/v1/users/me |
| No stream events | zulip-js library sends multipart/form-data instead of form-urlencoded | Use URLSearchParams directly |
| Double responses | Both TUI and PM2 loaded the extension | ZULIP_EXTENSION_ACTIVE guard |
Remediation Rules
Rule 1: Queue Expired
- Detect: Poll returns BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID
- Fix:
pm2 restart abiba-zulip - Verify: Check logs for "Connected, queue:"
Rule 2: Subscription Missing
- Detect:
GET /api/v1/users/me/subscriptionsreturns 0 for #agent-hub - Fix: Subscribe via
POST /api/v1/users/me/subscriptions - Verify: Re-check subscriptions
Rule 3: Extension Crashed
- Detect: PM2 status shows "errored" for abiba-zulip
- Fix:
pm2 restart abiba-zulip - Escalate: If restarts >5 in last hour, alert user
Rule 4: No Response to Test Mention
- Detect: Send test @mention, wait 30s, check if response appeared
- Fix: Run diagnostics (check queue, check code, check logs)
- Log: Record failure mode as new entry in Known Failure Modes
Continuity
- On user report: User says "you didn't respond" → run diagnostic
- On test failure: Test mention fails → run remediation
- Retrospective: Every 6 hours — send a test @mention to self-verify
- On PM2 restart: Always run a self-test after restart
Execution
- Self-test: Send
@**Abiba Bot** _selftest_in #agent-hub, wait for response - If no response in 30s: Run diagnostics
- Diagnose: Check queue, subscriptions, PM2 status, logs
- Fix: Apply matching remediation rule
- Retest: Try again
- Log: Record success or new failure mode
- Report: DM user only if escalation needed
