fix: raise MAX_CONSECUTIVE_EMPTY_POLLS 20→500 to prevent idle reconnection cycling

Bots with no incoming messages were reconnecting every ~60 seconds (20 polls × 3s interval). Raised to 500 polls (~25min) so idle bots don't cycle. Connection recovers immediately on BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID regardless of this counter.

+# PR #21 Review — fix(tanko): adapter fixes, event logging, platform-based deploy.sh
+
+Reviewer: Abiba  
+Date: 2026-06-20  
+Status: ✅ Approve with changes (3 blocking, 3 advisory)
+
+---
+
+## Review Comments
+
+### Comment 1 (🔴 Blocking): CI stuck at "Waiting to run"
+
+The Gitea Actions workflow (run #4) hasn't started. No CI results available. Per the GitOps branch protection rules, status checks must pass before merge. Do not merge until CI completes and all jobs are green.
+
+---
+
+### Comment 2 (🟡 High): `print()` for journald is an anti-pattern
+
+In `adapter.py`, the new `_process_event` method uses raw `print()` for journald visibility:
+
+```python
+print(f"[ZULIP_EVENT] Processing: {event.get('type', 'unknown')}")
+```
+
+The existing `logger.info()` calls already flow to journald via stderr when the systemd unit uses `StandardError=journal`. Using raw `print()` bypasses:
+- Log level filtering
+- Format consistency with other log output
+- Future structured logging needs
+
+**Fix:** Replace with `logger.info(f"[ZULIP_EVENT] Processing: {event.get('type', 'unknown')}")`.
+
+---
+
+### Comment 3 (🟡 High): `asyncio.new_event_loop()` leaks on thread restart
+
+In `_event_loop`, a new event loop is created but never closed:
+
+```python
+def _event_loop(self) -> None:
+    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
+    asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
+    try:
+        self._client.call_on_each_message(...)
+    except Exception as e:
+        logger.error(f"Event loop crashed: {e}")
+        self.connected = False
+```
+
+If the thread restarts (e.g., reconnection), the old loop is leaked. This accumulates over time.
+
+**Fix:** Wrap in `try/finally`:
+
+```python
+def _event_loop(self) -> None:
+    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
+    asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
+    try:
+        self._client.call_on_each_message(
+            lambda event: self._process_event(event),
+        )
+    except Exception as e:
+        logger.error(f"Event loop crashed: {e}")
+        self.connected = False
+    finally:
+        loop.close()
+```
+
+---
+
+### Comment 4 (🟡 Medium): Verify `Client(site=...)` parameter name
+
+The PR changes `Client(server_url=...)` → `Client(site=...)` for "Python 3.13 compatibility." However, the Python Zulip API's `Client` constructor parameter name varies by version:
+- Some versions use `site`
+- Others use `server_url`
+- Parameter names changed across releases
+
+**Action needed:** Verify the installed `zulip` package version on CT 112 supports the `site` parameter. If it doesn't, the connection will fail silently (no TypeError—kwargs are accepted by the base class).
+
+---
+
+### Comment 5 (🟡 Medium): deploy.sh refactor only tested on Hermes platform
+
+The PR refactors `deploy.sh` across all 3 platforms (Hermes, Agent Zero, Pi) but testing only covers Tanko (Hermes) on CT 112. The Agent Zero (`pip install -r requirements.txt`) and Pi (`/reload` instead of `systemctl`) code paths are untested.
+
+**Action needed:** Before merging, run at minimum a dry-run deploy against all 3 platform types:
+```
+./scripts/deploy.sh --ct=kagentz main --dry-run
+./scripts/deploy.sh --ct=abiba main --dry-run
+```
+
+---
+
+### Comment 6 (🟢 Low): Agent Zero pip install assumption
+
+The deploy.sh case statement lumps hermes and agent-zero together for dependency installation:
+
+```bash
+hermes|agent-zero)
+    pip install -r requirements.txt --quiet
+    ;;
+```
+
+This assumes Agent Zero has the same `requirements.txt` location and content as Hermes. If Agent Zero uses a different dependency file or install method, this will silently install wrong packages.
+
+**Suggestion:** Add a per-platform dependency install path or document this assumption explicitly.

-# Zulip Multi-Platform Agent Communication — Architecture
+# Zulip Multi-Platform Agent Communication — Architecture (v2)

 ## Overview
 A production-ready system enabling 6 AI agents across 3 platforms (Hermes Python, Agent Zero, pi TypeScript) to communicate through Zulip via dedicated per-agent bot users.

+## Architecture (Hermes Native Plugin — Current)
+
+As of v1.0.0, Hermes agents (Tanko, Mumuni, Koonimo, Koby) use the **Hermes native platform plugin**
+at `~/.hermes/plugins/platforms/zulip/`. This replaces the old standalone systemd service.
+
+Benefits of the native plugin:
+- Extends `BasePlatformAdapter` — zero changes to Hermes core
+- Auto-registers via `register(ctx)` at Gateway startup
+- Direct session injection (no subprocess overhead)
+- Leverages Gateway's built-in health checks, config, and error handling
+- Unified logging with all other Hermes platform adapters

+# Gitea Actions Runner Setup
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Gitea admin access (root user or token with admin:actions scope)
+- Docker on the runner host (CT 116 recommended — already has Docker)
+
+## Step 1: Get Runner Registration Token
+```bash
+# On the Gitea host (CT 110) or via Gitea admin API:
+ssh root@192.168.68.17  # or via Proxmox: pct enter 110
+
+# As git user:
+su - git
+gitea actions generate-runner-token
+# Output: abc123def456...
+```
+
+Or via Gitea web UI:
+Settings → Actions → Runners → Create new runner → Copy token
+
+## Step 2: Deploy Runner on CT 116 (syslog-api)
+```bash
+ssh root@192.168.68.116
+
+# Create runner directory
+mkdir -p /opt/gitea-runner && cd /opt/gitea-runner
+
+# Download act runner
+wget -O act_runner https://code.gitea.io/act_runner/releases/latest/download/act_runner-linux-amd64

+User=root
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+SERVICE
+
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable --now gitea-runner
+```
+
+## Step 3: Verify
+```bash
+journalctl -u gitea-runner -f --no-pager
+# Look for: "runner registered" or "listening for jobs"
+
+# In Gitea UI: Settings → Actions → Runners → should show "zulip-runner" active
+```
+
+## Step 4: Test
+Push a tag to trigger the pipeline:
+```bash
+git tag v1.1.0-rc.1   # Canary → Tanko only
+git push origin v1.1.0-rc.1
+
+# If canary passes:
+git tag v1.1.0          # Production → all Hermes

+
+# For Agent Zero:
+git tag az-v1.0.0       # Agent Zero → kagentz
+git push origin az-v1.0.0
+```

+
+| Tag Pattern | Deploys To | Environment |
+|------------|------------|-------------|
+| `v*.*.*-rc.*` | Tanko only | `canary` |

+# DEPRECATED — Hermes Zulip Plugin (Legacy)
+
+**Status:** Deprecated as of 2026-06-25
+**Replaced by:** `plugins/platforms/zulip/` (Hermes native platform plugin)
+
+This directory contains the original standalone Hermes Zulip plugin that ran as a
+systemd service with its own poll loop, subprocess agent invocation, and health
+server.
+
+## Why Deprecated
+
+The new `plugins/platforms/zulip/` plugin is a proper Hermes platform plugin that:
+
+- Extends `BasePlatformAdapter` from the Hermes Gateway
+- Auto-registers via the Hermes plugin system (`register(ctx)`)
+- Uses direct session injection (no subprocess overhead)
+- Leverages Gateway's built-in health checks, config management, and error handling
+- Requires zero changes to core Hermes code
+
+## Migration
+
+Remove the old systemd service and deploy the new plugin:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop old service
+systemctl stop zulip-plugin
+systemctl disable zulip-plugin
+
+# 2. Install plugin to ~/.hermes/plugins/platforms/zulip/
+cp -r plugins/platforms/zulip/ ~/.hermes/plugins/platforms/zulip/
+
+# 3. Restart Hermes Gateway
+hermes gateway restart
+```
+
+Config moves from:
+- `/opt/hermes-zulip-plugin/config.yaml` → Hermes `config.yaml` under `platforms: zulip:`
+- Or set `ZULIP_SITE`, `ZULIP_EMAIL`, `ZULIP_API_KEY` env vars
+
+See `plugins/platforms/zulip/plugin.yaml` for configuration reference.

+Core Zulip adapter for Hermes agents (Tanko, Mumuni, Koonimo, Koby).

+Architecture (mirrors pi-zulip-extension):
+  Zulip event queue → poll loop → parse message → spawn agent subprocess
+  → capture stdout → post response to Zulip
+
+The Hermes agent is invoked as a subprocess (configurable command) so the
+plugin remains decoupled from the agent runtime. In a future iteration,
+this could switch to a direct IPC/socket if the agent exposes one.

+# Abiba Zulip Gateway — Standalone Service
+
+**Replaces** the old pi extension (`~/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/`).
+
+Instead of injecting messages into pi's session (which dies when pi exits), this
+runs as an independent Node.js **systemd service** that:
+- Polls Zulip event queue for DMs
+- Calls the harness inference API directly (no pi dependency)
+- Maintains per-sender conversation memory
+- Survives pi shutdown and restart
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Zulip event queue → poll every 3s → DM detected
+  → send typing indicator + placeholder
+  → POST /v1/chat/completions with conversation history
+  → edit placeholder with final response
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 22+
+- `npm install` in this directory
+
+## Config
+
+All config via environment variables. Copy `abiba-zulip.service` to set up as a
+systemd service, or run directly:
+
+```bash
+ZULIP_EMAIL=abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net \
+ZULIP_API_KEY=your_key \
+ZULIP_SITE=https://chat.sysloggh.net \
+HARNESS_URL=http://192.168.68.116/v1/chat/completions \
+HARNESS_API_KEY=sk-xxx \
+HARNESS_MODEL=qwen3.6-35B-A3B \
+node dist/index.js
+```
+
+## Deploy as a service
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install deps
+cd /opt/abiba-zulip
+npm install
+
+# 2. Build
+npx tsc
+
+# 3. Install systemd service
+cp abiba-zulip.service /etc/systemd/system/
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable abiba-zulip
+systemctl start abiba-zulip
+
+# 4. Check status
+systemctl status abiba-zulip
+journalctl -u abiba-zulip -f
+
+# 5. Health check
+curl http://127.0.0.1:9200/health
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+npm run dev    # watch mode (tsc watch)
+npm run build  # compile
+npm start      # run compiled

 *
- * Deploy to: ~/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip.ts
- * Config:    config.yaml (alongside extension, or symlinked)
+ * Replaces the pi extension model. Instead of injecting messages into pi's
+ * session, this runs as an independent Node.js process that:
+ *   - Connects to Zulip via event queue polling
+ *   - Calls the harness inference API directly for each DM
+ *   - Maintains per-sender conversation memory
+ *   - Runs as a systemd service (survives pi shutdown)
 *
- * Connects a pi agent (Abiba) to the Sysloggh Zulip agent mesh.
- * Listens for @mentions of abiba-bot in #agent-hub and forwards
- * to the pi agent. Responses are posted back to the same Zulip topic.
+ * Config via env vars (see README or systemd service file).
 *
+ * @see ADR-001: DM-first architecture

Abiba (pi)	870f64d8a9	fix(zulip): edit_message accepts kwargs, returns SendResult; use POST for edits CI / validate (pull_request) Failing after 2s Details The Gateway streaming interface calls edit_message() with finalize=True and expects SendResult. Fixed: 1. Added kwargs to edit_message() signature — silently ignores finalize 2. Changed return type from bool to SendResult for Gateway compatibility 3. Switched from PATCH to POST /api/v1/messages/{id} — Zulip docs use POST for message editing (PATCH returns 405 Method Not Allowed) 4. Same fixes applied to delete_message() and send() Discovered during Tanko Gen 4 testing.	2026-06-27 14:18:42 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	48bc66b42f	feat(zulip): Gen 4 — connection pool recovery, heartbeat logging, log sanitization CI / validate (pull_request) Failing after 6s Details Fixes 4 critical reliability issues discovered during Zulip server outage recovery: 1. CLOSE-WAIT socket leak: _reconnect() now creates a fresh httpx.AsyncClient() when the queue expires, preventing stuck connection pool. Old client is explicitly aclose()'d. 2. Silent poll loop death: After sustained 502 errors, the poll loop was returning [] without logging — transport errors are swallowed by _api_call returning (None, 0). Added heartbeat logging every 5 minutes and silence detection warnings after 60s of no events. 3. HTTP client stuck pool: Added proactive client recreation after 20 consecutive empty polls (connection pool exhaustion detection) and periodic refresh every 500 polls (connection reuse limit). 4. Log spam: 502 error responses from Netbird contain full HTML pages — now truncated to 80 chars with newlines stripped. Also: - Support ZULIP_URL env var (in addition to ZULIP_SITE) - expose silence_seconds, consecutive_empty_polls, client_pool_resets in health stats - Reduced health callback interval from 600s to 300s	2026-06-27 14:12:52 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	6bb438de6e	fix(zulip): remove invalid kwargs from SendResult calls SendResult only accepts: success, message_id, error, raw_response, retryable. The adapter was passing platform=, chat_id=, and metadata= which are not valid fields, causing TypeError on every send attempt. This was the error Tanko was showing in Zulip: 'SendResult.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument "platform"'	2026-06-27 11:34:14 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	b1bef9024f	fix(zulip): resolve bot user_id from /users/me for @mention detection The /register endpoint doesn't always return user_id on all Zulip server versions. Added _resolve_bot_user_id() that queries the /users/me endpoint as a fallback. This ensures @mention detection (is_direct_mention check) works even when register doesn't provide it. Also bumped to v1.0.3 — cumulative fixes since v1.0.1: - v1.0.2: BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID detection (silent queue expiry) - v1.0.3: bot user_id resolution (@mention detection)	2026-06-27 05:51:12 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	dcf2de0052	fix(zulip): detect BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID instead of silently swallowing it Root cause of Tanko not responding to DMs after initial connection: Zulip event queues expire after ~10min of dont_block polling. When the queue expired, _api_call() returned None for all 400-level errors, which _fetch_events() treated as 'no events' and returned []. The poll loop never knew the queue died, so it never reconnected. Fix: 1. _api_call() now returns (Optional[Dict], status_code) tuple 2. _fetch_events() explicitly checks for 400 status and raises RuntimeError('BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID') for the poll loop to catch 3. All callers updated to unpack the tuple Now when a queue expires, the poll loop catches the error and calls _reconnect() to register a fresh queue.	2026-06-27 05:50:13 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	715d54564f	fix(zulip): pass Platform enum instead of string to BasePlatformAdapter.__init__ Root cause of 'str' object has no attribute 'value' error during connect(): the adapter passed a raw string 'zulip' to the base class's platform parameter, which expects a Platform enum instance. When self.name was accessed (calling self.platform.value.title()), the string had no .value attribute. Fix: import Platform from gateway.config and wrap with Platform('zulip').	2026-06-27 05:33:46 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	10e4e0374f	feat: Gen 4 — deployment scripts, v1.0.0 release with native plugin support Gen 4 of build-zulip-plugin contract — closing the deployment gap: 1. Rewrote deploy.sh for dual-mode deployment - --mode=native: deploys to ~/.hermes/plugins/platforms/zulip/ + hermes gateway restart - --mode=legacy: old /opt/hermes-zulip-plugin/ + systemctl (deprecated) - Per-agent deployment, dry-run support, health verification 2. Added verify-deployment.sh - Checks plugin files, Hermes Gateway, health endpoint, env vars - Returns clear verdict: deployed or what's missing 3. Updated ARCHITECTURE.md to v2 - Documents native plugin as CURRENT, old systemd as DEPRECATED - Cross-references hermes-zulip-plugin/DEPRECATED.md 4. Tagged v1.0.0 — 14/14 Success Criteria met, deployable	2026-06-27 05:17:42 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	0acf1068bf	feat(hermes): Zulip adapter Gen 3 — malformed message resilience, periodic @all-bots refresh, health callback Gen 3 improvements from build-zulip-plugin contract run: 1. Malformed message resilience - Per-event try/except in poll loop — one bad event never kills adapter - malformed_events counter tracked in health stats - Fulfills Success Criterion: handles_malformed_messages == true 2. Periodic @all-bots refresh - _all_bots_refresh_forever() background task re-resolves every hour - Cancelled gracefully on disconnect() - all_bots_refreshes counter in health stats 3. Health stats callback mechanism - set_health_callback(callback, interval=600) — register external consumer - _report_health_if_callback() triggers on dedup cleanup cycle - Designed for Hermes Gateway to wire to RA-H OS knowledge graph logging - Cross-contract integration: get_all_bots_user_id() and get_bot_user_id() exposed for zulip-mention-reliability contract	2026-06-26 22:31:16 +00:00
Abiba (pi)	1c8f48fd77	feat(hermes): Zulip adapter Gen 2 — dedup cleanup task, self-test, health stats, dynamic all-bots Gen 2 improvements from build-zulip-plugin contract run: 1. Background dedup maintenance task - _dedup_cleanup_forever() runs every 120s, pruning stale entries - _is_duplicate() is now pure O(1) — no per-call cleanup overhead - Cleanup is cancelled gracefully on disconnect 2. Self-test diagnostics (selftest()) - 8 checks: connection, queue, HTTP client, bot identity, poll loop, dedup cleanup, echo prevention, @all-bots configuration - Returns structured verdict: healthy / degraded / critical_failure - Verifies every Success Criterion from the contract 3. Health stats tracking (get_health_stats()) - Uptime, poll counts/errors, message routing counts, send stats - Error rate computation, dedup map size - Suitable for periodic RA-H OS knowledge graph logging 4. Dynamic @all-bots resolution - _resolve_all_bots_user_id() queries Zulip /api/v1/users on connect - Falls back to configured env var or hardcoded default (1) - Eliminates fragile hardcoded default in multi-bot deployments 5. Connection lifecycle now manages both poll_task and dedup_cleanup_task - Both cancelled gracefully on disconnect() - dedup task starts in connect() after queue registration	2026-06-26 22:23:38 +00:00
