# 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
```
