The container has an older glibc (likely Ubuntu 22.04 with glibc 2.35). The host has glibc 2.39 (Ubuntu 24.04). The binary compiled on the host requires glibc 2.38/2.39.

I need to build the binary inside the Docker container, not on the host. The Docker image uses Debian Bookworm as the builder (FROM rust:bookworm), which has newer glibc.

Actually, looking at the Dockerfile: `FROM rust:bookworm AS builder`. The runtime container probably uses a Debian Bookworm base too, but might be an older version.

Let me check what the runtime container is actually using.

glibc mismatch — built on host (2.39) but container runs older. Need to build inside Docker. Let me restore the old binary first and build properly:

# Restore old binary from the previous image
docker pull spacebot-local:latest 2>/dev/null || true
# Actually, let's check if there's a backup
ls /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/*.bak 2>/dev/null || echo "no backup"
# Get old binary from the running image layers
docker create --name spacebot-backup spacebot-local:latest 2>/dev/null && \
docker cp spacebot-backup:/usr/local/bin/spacebot /tmp/spacebot.orig && \
docker rm spacebot-backup && \
echo "backup done"


/mnt/storage/spacebot/data/config.toml.bak
e87f352ff378041de4a67f6b803513fe719baf6a77f4f7a7e607f9af20208f49
spacebot-backup
backup done


Good, I have the original binary at `/tmp/spacebot.orig`. Let me restore it first, then build using docker build with the Dockerfile which uses Debian Bookworm.

exec

docker cp /tmp/spacebot.orig spacebot:/usr/local/bin/spacebot && docker restart spacebot && sleep 5 && docker logs spacebot --since 10s 2>&1 | head -10

Spacebot is back up with the old binary. Now I need to build the binary using Docker's build environment (which uses Debian Bookworm). Let me do a multi-stage build to just get the binary from the correct environment.

Actually, I should build inside the container's image context, not on the host. The easiest approach: use a `rust:bookworm` container to build, then copy the binary into the running spacebot container.

Actually, let me think about the best approach. The Dockerfile is already there. Instead of rebuilding the whole Docker image (which would also rebuild the frontend), I can:
1. Run a one-off build container with the same base image as the spacebot runtime

2. Build the binary there and copy it into the spacebot container

First, let me check what the runtime base image is in the Dockerfile.

Container restored. Now I need to build inside the correct glibc environment. Let me check the runtime base:

grep "FROM\|AS " /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/Dockerfile


FROM rust:bookworm AS builder
FROM debian:bookworm-slim AS slim
FROM slim AS full


Good - runtime is `debian:bookworm-slim`. The builder is `rust:bookworm`. I should build the binary using a Rust Bookworm container. Let me run the build inside a Docker container.

Runtime is `debian:bookworm-slim`. I need to build using `rust:bookworm` container. Let me do an in-container build and extract the binary:

docker run --rm \
  -v /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo:/build \
  -v /mnt/storage/spacebot/cargo-cache:/usr/local/cargo/registry \
  -w /build \
  rust:bookworm \
  bash -c "apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev cmake libssl-dev pkg-config 2>/dev/null && cargo build --release 2>&1 | tail -5" &
echo "build started PID=$!"


Command still running (session fast-nudibranch, pid 2531484). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.


The build is running inside a Docker container with the correct environment. This will take a while (10-15 minutes). Let me wait.

Building in the correct Bookworm environment (will take ~10min). I'll watch it:


[openclaw] missing tool result in session history; inserted synthetic error result for transcript repair.


Summary:
## Goal
1. Run end-to-end test of Ouroboros orchestration via @Ouro87_bot, confirming Nemotron is primary model with no fallback.
2. Implement `SpacebotModel::stream()` with SSE parsing and submit as a PR for Spacebot streaming (LLM response).

## Constraints & Preferences
- Nemotron must be primary (no fallback) for Ouroboros test
- Nemotron config: `--reasoning-budget 0 --reasoning-format none`, 128K context
- GLM model: `glm-5` for all roles, endpoint `coding/paas/v4`

## Progress
### Done
- [x] Fix Nemotron tool calls (`--reasoning-budget 0 --reasoning-format none`)
- [x] Bump Nemotron to 128K context
- [x] Fix Telegram bridge (correct `/send` + `/poll` endpoints, background poller)
- [x] Add SSH to Spacebot container (`openssh-client` + key mounting)
- [x] Fix HA remote access (IP ban + gateway misconfiguration)
- [x] Fix Waffleson `context_window` (32K → 131K)
- [x] Revert cortex/compactor from Nemotron back to `glm-4.7-flash`
- [x] Fix Telegram polling (TCP keepalive patch in `telegram.rs` — NAT timeout root cause)
- [x] Fix GLM API endpoint (`coding/paas/v4` not `paas/v4`)
- [x] Fix GLM model routing (`glm-4.7-flash` → `glm-4.7`, all roles set to `glm-5`)
- [x] Build 1 — Ouroboros ollama provider working (`spacebot-local:latest = 8de99de6`)
- [x] Update Waffleson `SOUL.md` — proactive cron updates, anticipate needs
- [x] Email integration — `waffleson@teamcfr.com` + `ouro@teamcfr.com`, agentmail volume mounted, crons added

### In Progress
- [ ] Ouroboros orchestration end-to-end test (Task 2)
- [ ] Spacebot streaming PR — implement `SpacebotModel::stream()` with SSE parsing (Task 3)

### Blocked
- Spacebot streaming: no PR upstream yet

## Key Decisions
- **Nemotron as Ouroboros primary**: Configured with `--reasoning-budget 0 --reasoning-format none` and 128K context to avoid tool-call failures.
- **GLM endpoint fix**: Must use `coding/paas/v4` (not `paas/v4`); all roles use `glm-5`.
- **Telegram NAT fix**: TCP keepalive patch applied in `telegram.rs` to prevent polling drops.

## Next Steps
1. Send a real message via @Ouro87_bot and confirm Nemotron handles it as primary (no fallback triggered).
2. Verify Ouroboros e2e test passes end-to-end; mark Task 2 done in `TASKS.md`.
3. Write PR implementing `SpacebotModel::stream()` with SSE parsing for Spacebot streaming (Task 3).

## Critical Context
- Task state file: `/home/crogers2287/.openclaw/agents/clinker/TASKS.md`
- Agentmail queue: `/opt/agentmail/queue/`, processed: `/opt/agentmail/processed/`
- Ouroboros Telegram bot handle: `@Ouro87_bot`
- Spacebot local image tag: `spacebot-local:latest` (digest `8de99de6`)

---

**Turn Context (split turn):**

## Original Request
The user (Chad, Telegram ID 6558388607) is debugging Waffleson (an AI agent running in the `spacebot` Docker container). The task is to fix two bugs discovered in a previous session.

## Early Progress
**Two bugs identified:**
1. **Cron not firing** — Cron jobs registered but never executing; root cause found: `active_start_hour=0, active_end_hour=0` makes the active-hours check `current_hour >= 0 && current_hour < 0` (always false). Fix applied by setting NULL active hours.
2. **Skip on DMs** — Waffleson classifies Chad's 1:1 DMs as group chat and silently ghosts him. A cortex bulletin injected "Group Chat Behavior" rules into the system prompt from AGENTS.md.

**Work done in prefix:**
- Checked no new agentmail emails
- Confirmed spacebot container is up (49 min, healthy); Waffleson runs inside it
- Found Waffleson still skipping — message 3205 ("??") ghosted with reason "vague message not directed at me" (15:28:17 UTC)
- Located spacebot data at `/mnt/storage/spacebot/data/`
- Read `config.toml`: Waffleson uses Telegram binding for DMs from users `8138102287` and `6558388607`; API on port 19898
- Found agent workspace at `/mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/workspace/`
- Read `SOUL.md`: contains `"You're not the user's voice — be careful in group chats"` under Boundaries — this is likely triggering the skip behavior

## Context for Suffix
- The skip bug is still active; need to fix SOUL.md or AGENTS.md group-chat rules that cause Waffleson to skip Chad's DMs
- The cron active_hours fix was supposedly applied earlier but cron status not yet confirmed post-fix
- Waffleson's DB is at `/mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db` (accessible via `sqlite3` on host, not inside container)
- Key files: `/mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/workspace/SOUL.md`, `AGENTS.md`
- Spacebot API: `http://localhost:19898`

Build is still in progress but the log hasn't advanced beyond the apt-get install phase. This means the Rust compilation has started but isn't producing output yet (it's compiling all the dependencies first). Let me wait longer.

Still compiling dependencies. Let me check if the cargo phase has started:

exec

ls -la /mnt/storage/spacebot/cargo-cache/ 2>/dev/null | head -5 && ls /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/target/release/incremental/ 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo "no incremental"


total 5
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Feb 20 15:54 .
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Feb 20 15:54 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  177 Feb 20 15:54 CACHEDIR.TAG
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Feb 20 15:54 cache


The cargo cache is empty (just the CACHEDIR.TAG). The build is using the container's own cargo registry, not the shared cache. This will take a long time since it needs to download all the crates.

Actually, I set `-v /mnt/storage/spacebot/cargo-cache:/usr/local/cargo/registry` but the cache is empty. It's downloading everything from scratch.

Let me think about a better approach. Instead of building from scratch inside docker, I could:1. Build the docker image using the Dockerfile with the `--build-arg` to skip frontend build2. Or build just the binary inside the docker container with cargo, sharing the registry

The current build should eventually succeed though. Once it finishes, the cargo cache at `/mnt/storage/spacebot/cargo-cache` will be populated with all the dependencies, making future builds much faster. Let me check on the build status.

Cache was empty — it's downloading all crates fresh, will be ~15-20min total. Let me wait:

warning: `spacebot` (lib) generated 20 warnings (run `cargo fix --lib -p spacebot` to apply 15 suggestions)
    Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 9m 22s


The build finished inside the Docker container. The binary should be at `/mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/target/release/spacebot` but it was built inside the Docker container which mounted `/build` as the source directory. The output should be at `/mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/target/release/spacebot`.

Wait, actually the Docker container mounts `/mnt/storage/spacebot/repo` as `/build`. But the `cargo build --release` would output to `/build/target/release/spacebot` inside the container, which maps to `/mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/target/release/spacebot` on the host.

Now I need to verify the binary was actually created and check what glibc version it requires.

Build done. Verify glibc requirements match the container:

exec

objdump -p /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/target/release/spacebot | grep GLIBC | sort -V | tail -5


0x06969198 0x00 47 GLIBC_2.18

    0x09691974 0x00 15 GLIBC_2.3.4


Max glibc required is GLIBC_2.18 - that's well within what Debian Bookworm has. Let me deploy it.

Max requirement is GLIBC_2.18 — Bookworm has 2.36+. Deploy:

Container is running with the new binary. No glibc errors. Now let me verify the fix is working by checking that the is_dm flag is being passed correctly to the system prompt. Let me send a test message to Waffleson.

I see `/channels/messages` and `/channels/cancel`, but no message injection endpoint. The messages are sent via the Telegram channel. Let me think of a different way to verify.

I could just send a real "??" message to Waffleson's Telegram bot and watch the logs.

Actually, let me think about it differently — if the build is working correctly, the template change should be applied. I can verify the template logic is correct by:
1. Looking at what the `is_dm` check returns for `telegram:6558388607`
2. Or just send a real message and watch the logs

Let me send a test message via Telegram directly and watch the logs.Actually, I could also look for a "message/send" or "ingest" endpoint. But actually the best verification is just to send a real message from Telegram and check if Waffleson responds.

Let me check the logs to see if Waffleson is running and the Telegram poller is active, then verify the binding is working properly.

Let me verify the is_dm logic is firing correctly by watching logs when a message comes in. First confirm Telegram polling is active:

docker logs spacebot --since 30s 2>&1 | grep -E "telegram|poll|channel|skip|dm" | head -20

Telegram is connected (FredWafflesonBot is up). Now I need to verify the is_dm fix is working. Let me look at the conversation_id for the Chad DM channel to see if `is_dm()` returns true now. Actually, the best way to check is to look at the system prompt when Waffleson handles a message from Chad.

Let me watch for the next message that comes in from Chad and check if the debug log shows the DM path being taken. But there's an easier way — I can check the system prompt by looking at the Cortex chat history.

Actually, let me just check the live log when a message comes in. But I need to trigger a real message from Chad's Telegram.

I should verify the binary was rebuilt with the template changes and confirm Chad's conversation_id is formatted as `telegram:6558388607` so it would match the is_dm() check.

docker logs spacebot --since 5m 2>&1 | grep "conversation_id\|channel_id\|telegram:6" | head -10


(no output)


No messages from Chad yet since restart. Let me check the Waffleson channel configuration to see what channel ID is used for Chad's DMs.

Let me check the live SQLite DB for recent channels.

sqlite3 /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db \
  "SELECT conversation_id FROM messages GROUP BY conversation_id ORDER BY MAX(created_at) DESC LIMIT 5;"

  SELECT id, conversation_id FROM channels ORDER BY last_activity DESC LIMIT 10;
             ^--- error here

(Command exited with code 1)


Let me check the schema of the channels table.

sqlite3 /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db ".schema channels"


CREATE TABLE channels (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    platform TEXT NOT NULL,
    display_name TEXT,
    platform_meta TEXT,
    bulletin TEXT,
    permissions TEXT,
    is_active INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
    created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    last_activity_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
CREATE INDEX idx_channels_active ON channels(is_active, last_activity_at);
CREATE INDEX idx_channels_platform ON channels(platform);


The channel ID IS the conversation ID. Let me query it.

sqlite3 /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db \
  "SELECT id, platform, display_name FROM channels ORDER BY last_activity_at DESC LIMIT 5;"


telegram:6558388607|telegram|Skinny
cron:esp32-s3-status|cron|
webhook:web-mltr4nbx-n2sy|webhook|
webhook:web-mltqxlv5-7f1sp|webhook|
webhook:test-456|webhook|


The channel ID for Chad's DM is `telegram:6558388607`. My `is_dm()` fix handles this pattern:

```rust
if let Some(rest) = conv_id.strip_prefix("telegram:") {
    // If the remaining part is a plain number (user ID), it's a DM
    if rest.chars().all(|c| c.is_ascii_digit()) {
        return true;
    }
}
```

`"6558388607"` → all digits → `is_dm()` returns `true`. ✅

Now `is_dm` will be `true` when building the system prompt for this channel, and the template will show "You are in a 1:1 direct message. ALWAYS respond. Never use skip in a DM."

I should also double-check that the cron jobs fix with `active_hours` set to NULL is still in place.

Channel ID `telegram:6558388607` — all digits after prefix → `is_dm()` returns `true` ✅

Now the template will show "You are in a 1:1 direct message. ALWAYS respond. Never use `skip`." for Chad's channel.

Let me verify the cron active_hours fix is still in place too:

sqlite3 /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db \

Both cron jobs have NULL active_start_hour and active_end_hour - that's correct. The cron fix is in place.

Now let me look at the cron_executions to verify the crons are actually firing:

Active hours are NULL (fixed). Let me check if the crons are actually firing now:

sqlite3 /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db \
  "SELECT job_id, started_at, status FROM cron_executions ORDER BY started_at DESC LIMIT 5;"

  SELECT job_id, started_at, status FROM cron_executions ORDER BY started_at DES

Let me check the cron_executions schema.

sqlite3 /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db ".schema cron_executions" && \
sqlite3 /mnt/storage/spacebot/data/agents/waffleson/data/spacebot.db "SELECT * FROM cron_executions ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 5;"

No cron executions yet. The container was just restarted (at 16:04). The 120s (esp32-s3-status) cron should fire at 16:06 and the 300s email-check at 16:09.

Let me wait and see.

The cron jobs are registered. No executions yet. Container was restarted at 16:04, so the first cron (120s esp32-s3-status) should have fired at 16:06. But it's now past 16:09 (the sleep 60s finished) and still no executions.

Let me wait more to see if the cron fires, or check if the scheduler is working. Let me check the current time and compare.

The **Phone Farm Research** goal aims to use the Pixel 7 Pro for overnight social media brand-building. The automation improvement path has been decided: immediate approach uses existing `pixel` CLI + accessibility bridge with scheduled posting via Buffer/Later; better setup requires installing Tasker + AutoInput on the Pixel for reliable app control triggered via Termux/SSH. Key insight: accessibility services (Tasker/MacroDroid) are more reliable than ADB for some apps. Detection avoidance is critical — use human-like delays, IP rotation, and warm-up accounts.
**Heartbeat vs cron:** Batch periodic checks into heartbeat when timing can drift; use cron for exact timing or isolated tasks.


It's 16:07. The 120s cron was registered at 16:04:36, so it should have fired at 16:06:36. But there's no "trigger" or "fire" log. The cron isn't executing its background tasks.

Let me check the scheduler source code to understand what happens after registration.

16:07 — 120s cron should've fired at 16:06:36, nothing in logs. The active_hours fix is in place but the timer itself may not be ticking. Let me check the scheduler code:

Let me find the `start` or `run` method that sets up the timer tasks.

Good - `start_timer` spawns a task with a ticker. Line 175: `ticker.tick().await;` skips the first tick. So it should wait `interval_secs` before the first execution. That means the 120s job should fire at 16:06:36.

But looking at the log, cron jobs were registered at 16:04:36. At 16:07 there's still no execution. Let me look at the `start_timer` call site — is it actually being called after `register`?

sed -n '140,180p' /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/cron/scheduler.rs


enabled: config.enabled,
            consecutive_failures: 0,
        };

        {
            let mut jobs = self.jobs.write().await;
            jobs.insert(config.id.clone(), job);
        }

        if config.enabled {
            self.start_timer(&config.id).await;
        }

        tracing::info!(cron_id = %config.id, interval_secs = config.interval_secs, "cron job registered");
        Ok(())
    }

    /// Start a timer loop for a cron job.
    async fn start_timer(&self, job_id: &str) {
        let job_id_for_map = job_id.to_string();
        let job_id = job_id.to_string();
        let jobs = self.jobs.clone();
        let context = self.context.clone();

        let handle = tokio::spawn(async move {
            // Look up interval before entering the loop
            let interval_secs = {
                let j = jobs.read().await;
                j.get(&job_id)
                    .map(|j| j.interval_secs)
                    .unwrap_or(3600)
            };

            let mut ticker = interval(Duration::from_secs(interval_secs));
            // Skip the immediate first tick — jobs should wait for the first interval
            ticker.tick().await;

            loop {
                ticker.tick().await;

                let job = {


The timer logic looks correct. Timer is started, first tick is skipped, then it loops. Let me check what happens after `ticker.tick().await` in the loop.

sed -n '178,260p' /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/cron/scheduler.rs


ticker.tick().await;

                let job = {

                            if let Err(error) = context.store.update_enabled(&job_id, false).await {
                                tracing::error!(%error, "failed to persist cron job disabled state");
                            }


The timer logic looks correct. Active hours check at line 195 correctly skips if `job.active_hours` is `Some((start, end))`. With `None` active hours, it skips this check and fires unconditionally.

The code looks correct. But the cron isn't firing. Let me check if `esp32-s3-status` might be disabled in the in-memory state. Actually wait - let me check the log more carefully.

The container started at 16:04:36. The first tick should be skipped, then the next tick at 16:06:36. I checked at 16:07:09 - nothing in the cron_executions table.

Let me look through the Docker logs to see if there are any errors around that time.

**User:** Chad Rogers (chad@cfrfl.com) — building agentic phone automation infrastructure via Pixel 7 Pro and OpenClaw system.

### Active Focus: Phone Automation

**Pixel 7 Pro infrastructure:** `screen-bridge.service` on fred (manage via `sudo systemctl`). The `pixel` CLI at `/usr/local/bin/pixel` provides commands: ping, battery, wake, unlock, shot, elements, click, find, launch, text, tap, swipe. WebSocket API at ws://fred:7777. ZeroClaw agent runs on the phone (MiniMax-M2.5 model, @pixelbot87_bot on Telegram). Control via SSH: `ssh pixel7pro "zeroclaw status"`.

### System Configuration

**SSH hosts:** localhost, fred (current host), homeassistant (100.89.114.57), desktop2025 (Windows 11 via Tailscale), pixel7pro (Termux SSH via Tailscale). Config at ~/.ssh/config.

**OpenClaw vision:** Primary model `anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5`, fallback `google/gemini-3-flash-preview`. Local options available when GPU free: `jan-v2-vl-high` (Ollama) and `ouroboros-eye` (lllama-swap). ACE-Step was killed and disabled — GPUs now have ~45GB VRAM free for local models.

**GLM-5 fix:** Use OpenAI-compatible endpoint `https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4` with `provider: "openai"`, `temperature: 0.4`, `top_p: 0.1`. Cap context at 64k tokens.

### Agent Operations

**Heartbeat vs cron:** Batch periodic checks into heartbeat when timing can drift; use cron for exact timing or isolated tasks.

**Memory organization:** One topic per file for better BM25 scoring. Structure: daily logs in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md, people in memory/people/, projects in memory/projects/, credentials in memory/reference/tools/. Maintenance cycle every few days: distill daily notes into MEMORY.md.

**Group chat behavior:** React once per message max. Respond when directly mentioned or can add genuine value; stay silent for casual banter. Don't triple-tap.

### Recent

Fitness Buddy project started (2026-02-16) for Skinny. OpenClaw updated to 2026.2.17 with Claude Sonnet 4.6.

The cron jobs aren't firing. The 120s job should have fired at 16:06:36 but there's no "cron job firing" log entry. Let me check what happens at 16:06:36 - there's no log entry at all after 16:06:21.

Wait - the `esp32-s3-status` cron has interval 120s. It was registered at 16:04:36. The first tick is skipped (Line 175: `ticker.tick().await;`), so the first execution should be at 16:04:36 + 120s = 16:06:36. But nothing appears in the log.

Looking at the full timeline more carefully, I see the cron registered at 16:04:36, then other operations at 16:06:06 and 16:06:21, but no "cron job firing" message anywhere after registration. Either the scheduler isn't executing at all, there's a startup delay I'm not accounting for, or the new binary has the same issue as the previous build.

Let me scan through the rest of the log after 16:06:36 to see if there's a panic or error that would explain why the timer never fired.

**Heartbeat vs cron:** Batch periodic checks into heartbeat when timing can drift; use cron for exact timing or isolated tasks.


No "cron job firing" entries across all three restarts (14:45, 15:54, 16:04). The cron tasks are registered but never executing. This is the same bug we saw before with the old binary.

Wait - but the old binary had the `active_hours: [0, 0]` issue. The new fix is that active_hours are NULL (None) in the DB. But the cron timer task never logs "cron job firing".

Let me trace the code path more carefully. The `start_timer` function:
1. Spawns a tokio task
2. The task reads the interval_secs from the in-memory HashMap

3. Creates a ticker with that interval and skips the first immediate tick
4. Then loops waiting for subsequent ticks

So with `tokio::time::interval`, the first tick fires immediately (which we skip), and the second tick should fire at T+120s. But I'm not seeing that execution in the logs at all.

Let me check if the `start_timer` function is actually storing the task handle correctly in the Scheduler struct.

"cron job firing" has NEVER appeared — across 3 restarts. The timer tasks are spawning but never executing. Let me dig into the handle tracking:

sed -n '100,165p' /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/cron/scheduler.rs

        }

        tracing::info!(cron_id = %config.id, interval_secs = config.interval_secs, "cron job registered");
        Ok(())
    }

        let handle = tokio::spawn(async move {
            // Look up interval before entering the loop


I see `jobs` is cloned correctly. Let me check the handle storage:

sed -n '265,310p' /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/cron/scheduler.rs


}
        });

        let mut timers = self.timers.write().await;

            timers.drain().collect()
        };

        for (id, handle) in handles {
            handle.abort();
            let _ = handle.await;
            tracing::debug!(cron_id = %id, "cron timer stopped");
        }
    }

    /// Unregister and stop a cron job.
    pub async fn unregister(&self, job_id: &str) {
        // Remove the timer handle and abort it
        let handle = {
            let mut timers = self.timers.write().await;
            timers.remove(job_id)
        };

        if let Some(handle) = handle {
            handle.abort();
            let _ = handle.await;
            tracing::debug!(cron_id = %job_id, "cron timer stopped");
        }

        // Remove the job from the jobs map
        let removed = {
            let mut jobs = self.jobs.write().await;
            jobs.remove(job_id).is_some()
        };

        if removed {
            tracing::info!(cron_id = %job_id, "cron job unregistered");
        }
    }


I see it now! Look at `start_timer`:

```rust
let handle = tokio::spawn(async move {
    ...
    let mut ticker = interval(Duration::from_secs(interval_secs));
    ticker.tick().await;  // Skip first tick

    loop {
        ticker.tick().await;  // Wait for second tick
        ...
    }
});

let mut timers = self.timers.write().await;
timers.insert(job_id_for_map, handle);
```

Wait, there's a potential deadlock here! The function `start_timer` calls `self.timers.write().await` at the end to store the handle.

But the spawned task also does `jobs.read().await` at the beginning. Actually, the handle is stored after the spawn returns, so the task runs concurrently—that shouldn't deadlock. The real issue is that the outer function holds a write lock on `jobs` during `register`, then calls `start_timer`, and the spawned task tries to acquire a read lock on `jobs`, creating a lock ordering problem where the outer function might be waiting on something while holding the write lock.

Wait, no—the write lock is released before `start_timer` is called, so that's not it. Let me look at what's actually in the `CronContext` struct and what `run_cron_job` does with it, since that might be where the real blocking is happening.

Actually, I'm realizing the tokio task spawned by `start_timer` consumes the first tick immediately, so the loop doesn't execute until 120 seconds later. That's expected behavior though. The problem must be in `run_cron_job` itself.

The run_cron_job code looks correct. But it never fires. Let me look at the bigger picture - maybe the timer tasks are being dropped somewhere.

Let me check: what is `Scheduler` stored in? If it's stored in a local variable and goes out of scope, all the JoinHandles will be dropped, but the spawned tokio tasks would still be running since JoinHandle::drop() just detaches (doesn't abort).

Wait, actually in tokio, dropping a JoinHandle does NOT cancel the spawned task. So the tasks should still be running even if the Scheduler struct is dropped.

But wait - what if the tokio runtime is single-threaded and there's something blocking? No, that's unlikely with spacebot.

The logging configuration only enables debug output for the cron module, but there are no debug logs appearing after startup, which suggests the timer tasks are either waiting for their next tick, panicking without being captured, or not executing at all. Let me calculate when the next tick should fire based on the container startup time and the 120-second interval to see if that matches what I'm observing. I'm checking whether the logging configuration is actually filtering out the cron messages — the `info` level should capture them, but maybe the module path in `scheduler.rs` is different than expected. The real puzzle is why the cron didn't fire at 16:06:36 in the first place, so I need to look at the full logs from that exact timestamp to see what was happening.


(no output)


No log output between 16:06:21 and now. This confirms the cron timer task is stuck waiting (not executing). Wait...

Actually, let me reconsider. The container was restarted at 16:04:36. The ticker should fire at 16:06:36. But the last log entry I can see is from 16:06:21 (profile generated). And then... nothing?

Actually wait. The timer tasks ARE running asynchronously. The fact that there are no logs after 16:06:21 suggests the application might be idle (no incoming messages). But the timer should still fire.

Let me check if the process is still alive and running.

Up 3 minutes (healthy)


Container is up and healthy. 3 minutes = started at ~16:05:29? No wait - docker says "Up 3 minutes" and current time is 16:08:29, so started at ~16:05:29. But the log shows startup at 16:04:34. Hmm that's a discrepancy. Anyway, container is healthy.

No logs at all in the past 30 seconds. The cron job registered at 16:04:36 should have fired at 16:06:36 (T+120s). That was 2 minutes ago. But nothing.

Actually wait - let me reconsider the tokio interval.

The interval fires immediately on the first tick, then waits for the specified duration between subsequent ticks. So if the interval is set to 120 seconds, the first execution happens right away at t=0, and then the next one should fire at t=120. That means the job should have already run once immediately on startup, then again 2 minutes later - but I'm not seeing any evidence of that in the logs.

Looking at the timing: the container started at 16:04:34, so the cron should have fired immediately then, and again at 16:06:34. It's now 16:08:29, so it should have fired a second time by now. Neither execution appears in the logs, which suggests the timer task itself isn't actually running despite being registered.

Cron still dead — 16:06:34 tick should've fired but nothing. The Scheduler struct might be getting dropped. Let me check how it's held:

grep -rn "Scheduler::new\|scheduler\|Arc.*Scheduler\|cron_scheduler" /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/main.rs 2>/dev/null | head -20


587:    let mut cron_schedulers_for_shutdown: Vec<Arc<spacebot::cron::Scheduler>> = Vec::new();
624:            &mut cron_schedulers_for_shutdown,
917:                                    &mut cron_schedulers_for_shutdown,
972:    for scheduler in &cron_schedulers_for_shutdown {
973:        scheduler.shutdown().await;
975:    drop(cron_schedulers_for_shutdown);
1015:    cron_schedulers_for_shutdown: &mut Vec<Arc<spacebot::cron::Scheduler>>,
1292:    // Initialize cron schedulers for each agent
1294:    let mut cron_schedulers_map = std::collections::HashMap::new();
1319:        // Load all enabled cron jobs and start the scheduler
1328:        let scheduler = Arc::new(spacebot::cron::Scheduler::new(cron_context));
1330:        // Make cron store and scheduler available via RuntimeConfig
1334:            .set_cron(store.clone(), scheduler.clone());
1339:                    if let Err(error) = scheduler.register(cron_config).await {
1350:        let cron_tool = spacebot::tools::CronTool::new(store.clone(), scheduler.clone());
1355:        cron_schedulers_map.insert(agent_id.to_string(), scheduler.clone());
1356:        cron_schedulers_for_shutdown.push(scheduler);
1357:        tracing::info!(agent_id = %agent_id, "cron scheduler started");
1360:    // Set cron stores and schedulers on the API state
1362:    api_state.set_cron_schedulers(cron_schedulers_map);


The `Scheduler` is wrapped in `Arc` and stored in `cron_schedulers_for_shutdown` — so it's not being dropped.

Let me check lines 1328-1356 more carefully. The scheduler is properly created, registered, and stored in an Arc.

Wait... maybe the issue is that the timer spawned tasks actually ARE running, but the `run_cron_job` is failing before the "cron job firing" log. Let me check - actually the "cron job firing" log is at line 215 in the timer loop, BEFORE calling `run_cron_job`. So it should log even if `run_cron_job` fails.

I'm wondering if the tokio task is panicking early or if the read lock on the jobs map is hanging somewhere. Let me trace through what happens after the ticker starts — it reads the interval from the jobs map, then sets up the interval timer...

Setting up the interval timer...

Ah, I see the potential issue now. When `register()` is called, it acquires a write lock to insert the job, but it releases that lock before calling `start_timer()`. So there shouldn't be a deadlock there — the write lock is scoped and released before the spawned task tries to acquire its read lock.

But I'm realizing the real concern: `tokio::spawn` schedules the task immediately on the thread pool, so it could start executing on another thread right away, potentially before the write lock is even released. Let me test this by manually triggering the cron to see what actually happens.

Let me trigger the cron manually and watch the exact error:

curl -s -X POST "http://localhost:19898/agents/cron/trigger?agent_id=waffleson&cron_id=esp32-s3-status" 2>&1

The URL is wrong. Let me check the correct URL format.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Let me check the trigger endpoint signature again.

Let me look at the trigger_cron endpoint.

}


Let me check what the `TriggerCronRequest` struct looks like and how the router is configured. The router has `/agents/cron/trigger` route. But I need to include the API prefix.

Actually, looking at the server.rs routes earlier:
```
.route("/agents/cron/trigger", post(cron::trigger_cron))
```

And the server is at `http://localhost:19898`. But looking at the router, it might have a base prefix. Let me check.

grep -n "nest\|Router\|prefix\|/api\|layer\|into_make_service\|bind\|listen" /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/api/server.rs | head -20


4:use super::{agents, bindings, channels, config, cortex, cron, ingest, memories, messaging, models, providers, settings, skills, system};
9:use axum::Router;
27:    bind: SocketAddr,
36:    let api_routes = Router::new()
76:        .route("/bindings", get(bindings::list_bindings).post(bindings::create_binding).put(bindings::update_binding).delete(bindings::delete_binding))
82:    let app = Router::new()
83:        .nest("/api", api_routes)
85:        .layer(cors)
88:    let listener = tokio::net::TcpListener::bind(bind).await?;
89:    tracing::info!(%bind, "HTTP server listening");
93:        if let Err(error) = axum::serve(listener, app)


The routes are under `/api`. So the correct path is `http://localhost:19898/api/agents/cron/trigger`.

Let me also check the TriggerCronRequest struct.

grep -n "TriggerCronRequest" /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/api/cron.rs | head -5


58:pub(super) struct TriggerCronRequest {

Let me try the correct URL with `/api/` prefix.

The curl is hanging. That's interesting - the API server is accepting the connection but not responding. This is either because:1. The trigger_now method is blocking
2. The LLM call is taking a long timeActually, looking at the API, `trigger_cron` calls `scheduler.trigger_now()`. Let me check what that does.

grep -n "trigger_now\|async fn trigger" /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/cron/scheduler.rs | head -10


318:    pub async fn trigger_now(&self, job_id: &str) -> Result<()> {


Let me look at the `trigger_now` implementation.

sed -n '318,370p' /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/cron/scheduler.rs


pub async fn trigger_now(&self, job_id: &str) -> Result<()> {
        let job = {
            let jobs = self.jobs.read().await;
            jobs.get(job_id).cloned()
        };

        if let Some(job) = job {
            if !job.enabled {
                return Err(crate::error::Error::Other(
                    anyhow::anyhow!("cron job is disabled"),
                ));
            }

            tracing::info!(cron_id = %job_id, "cron job triggered manually");
            run_cron_job(&job, &self.context).await
        } else {
            Err(crate::error::Error::Other(anyhow::anyhow!(
                "cron job not found"
            )))
        }
    }

    /// Update a job's enabled state and manage its timer accordingly.
    pub async fn set_enabled(&self, job_id: &str, enabled: bool) -> Result<()> {
        let was_enabled = {
            let mut jobs = self.jobs.write().await;
            if let Some(job) = jobs.get_mut(job_id) {
                let old = job.enabled;
                job.enabled = enabled;
                old
            } else {
                return Err(crate::error::Error::Other(anyhow::anyhow!(
                    "cron job not found"
                )));
            }
        };

        // If enabling and wasn't enabled before, start the timer
        if enabled && !was_enabled {
            self.start_timer(job_id).await;
            tracing::info!(cron_id = %job_id, "cron job enabled and timer started");
        }

        // If disabling, the timer loop will detect this and stop naturally
        // (see the check at line 183 in start_timer)
        if !enabled && was_enabled {
            tracing::info!(cron_id = %job_id, "cron job disabled, timer will stop on next tick");
        }

        Ok(())
    }
}


So `trigger_now` calls `run_cron_job` which runs the LLM agent. This is inline - it makes the HTTP request hang while the LLM is processing. That's expected behavior.

But why is the timer not firing automatically? The timer task is spawned with `tokio::spawn`. Let me look at the `start_timer` function again more carefully.

Actually - I just noticed something. In `start_timer`, the code reads `interval_secs` from the in-memory `jobs` HashMap. But what if `jobs.read().await` at the TOP of the spawned task is hanging?

Let me think about this... In the `register` function:

The write lock is acquired to insert the job, then released immediately after. Then `start_timer` is called after the lock is released, which spawns a task that tries to acquire a read lock on the same HashMap. So the lock ordering looks correct - the write happens first, then the read happens in the spawned task.

But I need to think about whether there's a potential deadlock between the `jobs` and `timers` locks. If one part of the code tries to acquire them in one order and another part tries to acquire them in a different order, that could cause a deadlock. The spawned task should be able to acquire `jobs.read()` without issue since the write lock is released before `start_timer` is called. But then I realize `start_timer` itself is async and borrows `self`, which means while it's awaiting on `timers.write()`, the spawned task could be trying to access `self.jobs` — and that's where the borrow checker might be complaining about the lifetime of the `self` reference.

Let me step back and check if the timer tasks are actually running at all, or if there's something else going on with the binary I deployed today. Looking at the earlier debugging notes, the cron was working when manually triggered but the auto-timer wasn't firing, which suggests the issue might be specific to how the timer task is spawned or scheduled rather than a lock contention problem.

Since I'm seeing no debug logs from the timer despite having `spacebot::cron=debug` enabled, the task is either not executing, panicking silently, or getting cancelled before it logs anything. Let me check the tokio interval behavior to see if there's something about how the timer is set up that's preventing it from firing. The Arc ensures the data persists even if the Scheduler is moved around. Let me consider a different possibility—maybe the issue is with the tokio runtime itself. If spacebot is using a single-threaded runtime and there's a blocking operation somewhere, the timer tasks might never get scheduled to run.

Let me check if tokio uses a single-threaded runtime — that could starve the timer tasks:

grep -n "tokio::main\|current_thread\|multi_thread\|worker_threads\|Runtime::new\|#\[tokio" /mnt/storage/spacebot/repo/src/main.rs | head -10


172:    let runtime = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
189:#[tokio::main]
234:    let Ok(runtime) = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()
259:    let runtime = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()
301:    let runtime = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()


The main server uses `new_multi_thread()` (line 172). So the runtime should be fine for async timers. Let me check if maybe the `run_cron_job` is blocking for too long (120s timeout), causing the existing handle to never return.

Wait - let me look at this from a completely different angle. The summary says:
> "Cron IS working when triggered manually — got a response 'Building firmware, 63 tool calls, still running.'"

So the manual trigger works. But what about the automatic timer? Let me just check if the timer is actually running by checking if there are any timer-related entries.

Actually, let me try to trigger the cron again and watch the response this time with a timeout:


The curl is still hanging. The trigger_now call runs the LLM inline, which takes a long time. Let me kill it and focus on the timer problem.

Actually wait - the trigger curl is hanging because the `trigger_now` call is inline (blocking the HTTP handler while the LLM runs). That's a different issue. The real question is: why doesn't the auto-timer fire?

Let me think about this differently. The timer task does:
1. Read `interval_secs` from in-memory jobs
2. Create a tokio interval
3. Await first tick (immediate, 0ms)
4. Loop: await next tick (120s)

But wait -- what if step 1 is hanging? `jobs.read().await` acquires a read lock.

What if there's a write lock being held somewhere that's blocking the read? Looking at `register`, the write lock is only held briefly, but maybe another code path is holding it longer. Let me trace through `trigger_now` - it calls `run_cron_job`, which creates a channel and sends a message to run the LLM, then writes results back. But I don't think that path acquires `jobs.write()` at all.

Actually, I think I see it now - what if the initial `jobs.read().await` in the spawned task is blocked waiting for a `jobs.write()` lock that's still held? In `register`, the write lock is acquired, the job is inserted, and then the guard is dropped at the closing brace, which should release the lock immediately. Since `register` is async, the `jobs.write().await` does suspend, but once that block ends, the lock gets released before `start_timer` is called.

The real issue might be in `start_timer` itself - the spawned task's first action is trying to acquire `jobs.read()`, but `start_timer` then calls `timers.write().await` after spawning. If multiple cron jobs register simultaneously, one could be holding `jobs.write()` while another task waits on `jobs.read()`. For sequential registrations though, this shouldn't cause a deadlock. Let me trace through the complete `start_timer` logic to see if there's actually a deadlock happening.


Termination requested for session ember-tidepool.


Let me look at the timer task more carefully. I think the issue is something subtle with how the in-memory HashMap is working in the new binary. Let me look at the full start_timer function.
