Lift the load-bearing connectivity/identity/env facts out of the Phase 0/1 narrative into a stable "Infra facts" section, rewrite Current state as a ~15-line snapshot, and correct the Core flow diagram (gui-launch.sh / ask-claude.sh, not launch-claude.sh directly). No operational context dropped — verified by a fresh-eyes doc review.

# matrix-bridge — AGENTS.md
|
||
|
||
A single-user Matrix bot that turns a message in a project room into a live Claude Code
|
||
session in that project's repo on the Mac — surfaced to the phone via Claude Code Remote
|
||
Control. It makes the *trigger* portable: from anywhere on the WireGuard network, a Matrix
|
||
message starts a session on the Mac in the correct repo, and Remote Control pushes it to the
|
||
phone to drive interactively. Single user, private home network, no multi-user/product scope.
|
||
|
||
> **Inbox check:** At session start, if `~/Projects/standards/INBOX.md` exists, scan it for
|
||
> items tagged `(matrix-bridge)` and surface them before proposing next steps; triage with
|
||
> `/triage`.
|
||
|
||
## Core flow (v1)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Matrix message in a project room
|
||
→ bot (matrix-nio, on the DGX Spark) receives it
|
||
→ looks up which repo that room maps to (explicit config — no classification)
|
||
→ SSHes to the Mac and runs scripts/gui-launch.sh → launch-claude.sh (repo_dir, message_text)
|
||
→ wrapper cd's into the repo, opens a desktop Terminal, and launches `claude` on the message
|
||
→ Claude Code Remote Control (auto-enabled) pushes a notification to the phone
|
||
→ tap in and drive the session from the Claude app
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Room determines the repo; the message text becomes the initial prompt — the v1 trigger surface.
|
||
*Variant:* a `?`-prefixed message instead runs `ask-claude.sh` (headless `claude -p`) and posts
|
||
the full answer back into the room (ask mode, D12).
|
||
|
||
## Stack
|
||
|
||
- **Bot:** Python, **matrix-nio** (from the nio-template scaffold), single Docker container.
|
||
- **Runs on:** a DGX Spark (always-on Linux, Docker). *Not* Start9, *not* the Mac.
|
||
- **Mac seam:** `scripts/launch-claude.sh`, a zsh login-shell wrapper that owns all
|
||
environment setup and launches `claude`.
|
||
- **Config:** a readable room→repo mapping file (TOML) — adding a project is a config edit.
|
||
- **State:** none beyond config in v1; SQLite or flat files only if a later phase needs them.
|
||
|
||
## Placement
|
||
|
||
| Question | Decision | Rationale |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Sensitivity / sovereignty | Local-only when an LLM is ever involved | v1 makes no LLM call; future intent-parsing must run on a local model via Spark Control — message content may reference investor/portfolio context. Never wire a frontier API to message payloads. |
|
||
| Runtime shape | Long-running service (always-listening bot) | Must be up unattended to catch messages. |
|
||
| Host | DGX Spark, Docker container | Always-on Linux with Docker; co-located with Qwen3 for future local intent-parsing; reaches both Synapse (network) and the Mac (SSH). |
|
||
| s9pk vs container | Plain container | Not on Start9 at all — StartOS only runs s9pk packages; don't pay packaging cost, don't touch Synapse. |
|
||
| Model routing | None in v1; future Qwen3 via Spark Control | Keeps the sovereignty boundary; deterministic core first. |
|
||
| Data layer | Config file (TOML) | v1 needs no datastore. |
|
||
| Interface | Matrix (Element) + phone via Remote Control | "Reachable from phone" already satisfied by WireGuard + Remote Control. |
|
||
| Repo home | Local + Gitea backup | `ssh://git@immense-voyage.local:59916/grant/matrix-bridge.git`. |
|
||
|
||
## Commands
|
||
|
||
- `scripts/launch-claude.sh <repo_dir> <prompt>` — the Mac wrapper (Phase 0 deliverable;
|
||
validate by hand before any bot code).
|
||
- **Bot (Phase 1), containerized on the Spark — preferred:** from `~/matrix-bridge`,
|
||
`docker compose up -d --build` (host networking, `restart: unless-stopped` so it survives
|
||
reboots; read-only mounts of `.env`/`config.toml`/SSH key). Logs: `docker compose logs -f`.
|
||
The entrypoint generates `~/.ssh/config` for the `mac-bridge` alias from `config.toml [mac]`
|
||
(`hostname`/`user`), so the alias resolves inside the container. Override the host key path with
|
||
`MB_SSH_KEY_HOST` if it isn't `/home/modelo/.ssh/id_ed25519`.
|
||
- **Bot — venv (dev/fallback):** `python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt`,
|
||
then `.venv/bin/python src/bot.py` — uses modelo's host `~/.ssh/config` for the alias.
|
||
`MB_SSH_ALIAS` overrides the SSH target for testing.
|
||
- **Deploy:** pull the bot files from the Mac (no Gitea needed) —
|
||
`scp mac-bridge:/Users/macpro/Projects/matrix-bridge/{Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml,docker-entrypoint.sh,requirements.txt,config.toml,.env} .`
|
||
and `scp -r mac-bridge:/Users/macpro/Projects/matrix-bridge/src .`, then rebuild.
|
||
|
||
## Layout
|
||
|
||
- `AGENTS.md` — this file (canonical; `CLAUDE.md` is a relative symlink to it).
|
||
- `ROADMAP.md` — Phases 1–4+ with falsifiable exits, plus deferred/future directions.
|
||
- `README.md` — human-facing intro.
|
||
- `scripts/launch-claude.sh` — the Mac-side launch wrapper (the only seam that knows the
|
||
Mac's environment).
|
||
- `config.example.toml` — room→repo mapping template; the real `config.toml` is gitignored.
|
||
- `scripts/gui-launch.sh` — opens the desktop Terminal via `osascript` (Approach B, D11); calls
|
||
`launch-claude.sh` inside it. The bot invokes this over SSH.
|
||
- `scripts/ask-claude.sh` — headless `?`-ask wrapper (`#!/bin/zsh -l`): runs `claude -p` in the repo
|
||
and prints the answer to stdout for the bot to capture and post back. Uses `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`
|
||
(Mac-side `.env`) because a non-GUI SSH session can't reach the login Keychain (D12).
|
||
- `src/bot.py` — the matrix-nio bot (Phase 1): listens in mapped rooms; a plain message runs
|
||
`ssh mac-bridge gui-launch.sh` (interactive, to the phone), a `?`-prefixed message runs
|
||
`ask-claude.sh` (headless, answer posted back); fans out for all-projects; reports failures back.
|
||
- `requirements.txt` (matrix-nio) · `.env.example` (credential schema; real `.env` gitignored).
|
||
- `.claude/` — Claude wiring (dir only for now).
|
||
- `Dockerfile` · `docker-compose.yml` · `docker-entrypoint.sh` · `.dockerignore` — the Phase 1
|
||
container (Spark). Generic image (no secrets/deployment specifics baked in); host networking;
|
||
read-only mounts of `.env`/`config.toml`/SSH key. The entrypoint generates `~/.ssh/config` for
|
||
the `mac-bridge` alias from `config.toml [mac]` — the container's environment seam (D4 analog
|
||
of `launch-claude.sh`).
|
||
|
||
## Decisions (already made — don't relitigate without new information)
|
||
|
||
Condensed from the scoping workshop. Each: the call, why, what it beat.
|
||
|
||
- **D1 — matrix-nio, not Maubot.** Full control for one custom bot with real SSH-orchestration
|
||
logic; keeps Spark Control as the single dashboard. *Beat:* Maubot (competing web UI,
|
||
management layer we don't need), SimpleMatrixBotLib.
|
||
- **D2 — Bot runs on the Spark, not Start9 or the Mac.** Always-on Linux + Docker, co-located
|
||
with Qwen3, reaches Synapse + the Mac. *Beat:* Start9 (no s9pk), Mac (not always-on; it's the
|
||
execution target, not the orchestrator).
|
||
- **D3 — Synapse stays untouched.** Treat the existing StartOS Synapse as a fixed external
|
||
homeserver; the bot logs in as an ordinary Matrix user over WireGuard/LAN.
|
||
- **D4 — The Mac wrapper is the environment seam.** A `#!/bin/zsh -l` wrapper owns
|
||
PATH/credentials/`cd`/`exec claude`; the bot stays dumb and only invokes it over SSH.
|
||
*Beat:* inlining `source ~/.zprofile && …` from the bot (brittle); relying on the default
|
||
non-interactive SSH shell (the core failure mode — minimal shell loads neither `.zprofile`
|
||
nor `.zshrc`).
|
||
- **D5 — Remote Control is the phone-control layer.** Native, E2EE, already auto-enabled;
|
||
execution stays on the Mac. The bot only needs to *start* the session. *Note:* outside server
|
||
mode, one remote session per Claude Code instance.
|
||
- **D6 — Room = repo; routing is deterministic in v1.** No classification, no LLM, no path
|
||
branching. *Beat (for v1):* LLM intent parsing → deferred to D8.
|
||
- **D7 — No Nextcloud / CalDAV in v1.** Not the pain point; the interesting future (routing
|
||
Claude/bot *outputs* into Nextcloud) is real but unscoped.
|
||
- **D8 — Intent parsing deferred, but as a "routing brain."** When added (Phase 4+): a smart
|
||
dispatcher that, knowing all repos/contexts, decides which repo applies and what context to
|
||
inject — not a task-vs-session classifier. MUST run on a local model via Spark Control.
|
||
*Revisit when:* the deterministic core (Phases 1–2) is proven.
|
||
- **D9 — E2EE deferred (documented tradeoff).** Single-user bot over WireGuard on a private
|
||
LAN; transport is already private and matrix-nio E2EE adds libolm overhead. *Revisit when:*
|
||
the bot ever handles sensitive content over untrusted transport.
|
||
- **D10 — Spark Control manages the bot (Phase 3).** Status on the dashboard + one-click
|
||
update/restart, the same SSH-behind-buttons pattern Spark Control uses for the Sparks today.
|
||
- **D11 — Launch into a desktop Terminal, not a headless token (Phase 0).** The SSH session
|
||
can't reach the GUI login Keychain, so a plain `ssh … claude` reports "Not logged in." Rather
|
||
than mint a long-lived `claude setup-token`, the launcher (`scripts/gui-launch.sh`) uses
|
||
`osascript` to open a Terminal.app window in the **GUI session**, where `claude` inherits the
|
||
existing Keychain login and a real TTY. *Beat:* the long-lived OAuth token (Approach A) — works
|
||
and is fully unattended, but adds a credential to manage; kept as the documented fallback if the
|
||
Mac is ever driven headless (logged out). *Cost:* requires the Mac logged in + a one-time
|
||
Terminal Automation grant.
|
||
- **D12 — Headless "ask" mode uses the long-lived token; interactive stays GUI-Terminal (2026-06-16).**
|
||
A `?`-prefixed message runs `claude -p` headlessly over plain SSH and posts the answer back, so its
|
||
stdout must be captured over the SSH pipe — which rules out the GUI-Terminal path (D11), and a
|
||
non-GUI session reports "Not logged in." Ask mode therefore deliberately adopts the long-lived
|
||
`claude setup-token` (`CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`) that D11 deferred — kept **Mac-side only** (in
|
||
`.env`; the Spark never runs claude). Interactive launches keep the token-free GUI-Terminal path.
|
||
*Sovereignty unchanged:* `claude -p` uses the subscription, no frontier API touches message payloads.
|
||
|
||
## Sovereignty constraint
|
||
|
||
v1 sends nothing to external services except what is deliberately typed into the Claude Code
|
||
session itself. The bot's own logic is fully local. **When intent parsing is added later it
|
||
MUST run on a local model via Spark Control — never a frontier API** — because it reads
|
||
message content that may reference investor/LP/portfolio context. Never wire an external API
|
||
call that carries message payloads.
|
||
|
||
## Implementation guardrails (from the workshop)
|
||
|
||
- **Quoting through SSH is the known footgun.** Message text crosses two shells (the Spark's,
|
||
then the Mac's). Use `shlex.quote` (or equivalent) when building the remote command — never
|
||
naive string-concatenate user text into the SSH command.
|
||
- **Fail loud on a bad directory.** If a room maps to a missing dir, the wrapper exits
|
||
non-zero (`cd "$1" || exit 1`) and the bot reports the failure back into the room — never
|
||
launches Claude in the wrong place.
|
||
- **Config over code** for the room→repo mapping.
|
||
|
||
## Definition of done per phase
|
||
|
||
Substance threshold **N = 3** real uses, defined per phase in `ROADMAP.md`. "Done" means
|
||
falsifiable, scaled substance (it worked 3 real times), never a checkbox. A phase that "works
|
||
once" is not done.
|
||
|
||
## Infra facts (proven — stable reference)
|
||
|
||
- **WireGuard (`starttunnel`), not LAN:** Mac `10.59.211.5`; Spark (`spark-32d0`, user `modelo`)
|
||
`10.59.211.6`. The Spark is not on the Mac's LAN subnet.
|
||
- **Spark → Mac:** SSH alias `mac-bridge` → the Mac as user `macpro`, dedicated key
|
||
(`~/.ssh/id_ed25519` on the Spark, in the Mac's `authorized_keys`). The Spark host's `~/.ssh/config` needs `IdentitiesOnly yes` because a
|
||
`Host *` rule shadows the default key; the container regenerates a clean config from `config.toml [mac]`.
|
||
- **Mac → Spark:** no authorized key — Spark-side ops (deploy/restart) are owner-run until Phase 3.
|
||
- **Matrix:** homeserver `https://matrix.gilliam.ai` (StartOS Synapse), bot `@agent:matrix.gilliam.ai`,
|
||
device `matrix-bridge-bot`. The bot reuses the stored access token (`.env`) — never re-logs in
|
||
(avoids device churn). No E2EE (D9); bot↔Synapse is clearnet TLS, softening D9's WireGuard-only rationale.
|
||
- **Mac env:** `claude` lives in `~/.local/bin`, on PATH only via `~/.zprofile` — so every wrapper is
|
||
`#!/bin/zsh -l` (a non-login SSH shell loads neither `.zprofile` nor `.zshrc`).
|
||
- **Interactive-launch prereqs:** Mac logged into its desktop + a one-time Terminal Automation grant
|
||
(TCC). If the grant resets, a launch stalls — the bot reports it fail-loud rather than hanging.
|
||
- **Folder-trust gate:** the first `claude` run in a repo it has never been opened in stalls on the
|
||
trust prompt; already-used repos are trusted. Affects unattended interactive launches and ask mode.
|
||
|
||
## Current state
|
||
|
||
- **Working & proven live on the Spark (Phases 0–1 + ask mode, 2026-06-16).** The bot runs as a Docker
|
||
container on the Spark (`~/matrix-bridge`, `docker compose up -d --build`): generic image, host
|
||
networking, `restart: unless-stopped`, read-only mounts of `.env`/`config.toml`/SSH key. Listens as
|
||
`@agent` in 11 project rooms + an all-projects fan-out room (each fan-out session named `<repo> - <date>`).
|
||
- **Interactive** (plain message): `ssh mac-bridge → gui-launch.sh → launch-claude.sh → claude` →
|
||
drivable session on the phone via Remote Control.
|
||
- **Ask mode** (`?`-prefixed message): `ssh mac-bridge → ask-claude.sh → claude -p`, full answer posted
|
||
back into the room (chunked, no truncation). See D12.
|
||
- **Phase 2 (multi-room routing)** is effectively satisfied — the bot is built multi-room and routes by
|
||
`room_id`; only a formal N=3 confirmation pass remains.
|
||
- **Next — Phase 3 (deferred to next session by owner):** Spark Control integration — bot container
|
||
status + one-click update/restart on the dashboard; also closes the Mac-has-no-key-into-Spark gap.
|
||
- **Open / risks:** (a) a `?`-ask in a repo `claude` has never opened may stall on the folder-trust gate
|
||
— add a trust flag to `ask-claude.sh` if/when hit, not preemptively; (b) owner TODO: clean up the
|
||
accidental MacBook docker deploy (`docker compose down` + `docker image rm matrix-bridge-bot`).
|
||
- **Repo:** tree clean; `master` == `phase-1` == `8ad1cd8`, pushed to Gitea. No test suite (pre-existing);
|
||
this session's changes were syntax/unit-checked locally, fresh-eyes reviewed, and proven live.
