kind	name	description
responsibility	pm2-self-heal	Monitors critical PM2 processes (abiba-zulip, abiba-telegram) and auto-restarts any that are stopped or errored. Logs every action to the knowledge graph and alerts the owner via Zulip DM on failures.

Maintains

• abiba-zulip: { status: "online", uptime: string, restarts: number }
• abiba-telegram: { status: "online", uptime: string, restarts: number }
• last_check: timestamp

Continuity

• Self-driven: check every 300 seconds (5 min)
• Also wakes on user request (prose run pm2-self-heal)

Remediation Rules

Rule 1: Process Stopped or Errored

• Detect: pm2 status shows "stopped" or "errored" for a named process
• Fix: pm2 restart <name>
• Verify: Re-check status after 5 seconds
• Escalate: If still failed after 2 retries, send Zulip DM to owner

Rule 2: Process Restarting Too Often

• Detect: pm2 status shows restarts > 5 in the last hour
• Fix: pm2 delete <name> && pm2 start <ecosystem> --only <name>
• Escalate: Always — alert owner with restart count

Execution

1. Check PM2 status — Run pm2 status and parse the table
2. For each critical process (abiba-zulip, abiba-telegram):
   • If status is "online" → pass
   • If status is "stopped" or "errored" → apply Rule 1
   • If restarts > 5 → apply Rule 2
3. Log results — Create [LEARN] node in knowledge graph for any actions taken
4. Alert owner — Send Zulip DM if escalation needed
5. Wait 5 min → repeat from step 1
