feat: grow new accounts by commenting on active threads

A new Reddit account cannot start chats until Reddit considers it
established, and nothing in the app previously did anything about that.
Account growth posts a small number of AI-written comments per day on
active threads in an operator-chosen list of communities, per account,
so the history that lifts the hold actually accumulates.

Growth is account-scoped rather than part of the shared outreach funnel:
karma, comment history and pacing all belong to one identity. It runs as
the lowest-priority work in the account runtime, after inbound replies,
and deliberately keeps running while an account is held out of outbound
messaging.

Comments publish without operator review, so the guards are the feature:

- Both screening stages fail closed. A deterministic gate rejects links,
  contact solicitation, user tags, filler and any text that reveals the
  generator; the classifier must actively approve with confidence, and
  an outage stalls growth rather than publishing unreviewed text.
- Thread text reaches the model only as fenced untrusted data, since
  Reddit posts do contain instructions aimed at automated readers.
- The daily allowance is adaptive, not configured: it starts at two per
  day and rises only while comments survive and earn upvotes.
- Posted comments are swept at ~15m/2h/24h with one batched info.json
  request, plus a single signed-out probe that detects a comment the
  public cannot see. Two consecutive removals, an invisible comment, or
  a captcha challenge pauses the account until an operator clears it. A
  failed probe never pauses anything.
- One comment per thread across every owned account, enforced by a
  unique index, because two of our accounts on one post is the easiest
  pattern to correlate.
- A comment interrupted mid-post is abandoned, never retried: we cannot
  know whether the write landed and a duplicate cannot be withdrawn.
- Reddit's refusals are authoritative — a ban disables that community
  for that account, a throttle backs off at the scope Reddit named, and
  a signed-out response invalidates the session.

Comments are submitted through the account's own browser session against
the old.reddit form endpoint, which returns machine-readable error codes
and needs no credentials beyond the cookies already imported.

API-first: /api/growth exposes state, settings, the community list and
pause/resume, all verified against a local instance. Route responses are
parsed with the shared contracts in tests so the server-side mirror
cannot drift from what the dashboard expects.

 # Agent Guidelines & Code Standards
 
+## Required orientation and documentation maintenance
+
+Before changing code, read [`docs/README.md`](docs/README.md) and the documents it routes to for the area you are touching. Treat the source code, tests, generated API reference, and migrations as authoritative when a document disagrees with implementation.
+
+Documentation is part of the change, not a follow-up task:
+
+- Update the relevant file in `docs/` whenever behavior, architecture, configuration, data ownership, API contracts, operations, safety boundaries, or development workflow changes.
+- Update `docs/README.md` when adding, renaming, or removing a document.
+- Run `npm run docs:api` after changing `src/web/api-catalog.ts`; verify with `npm run docs:api:check`.
+- Prefer durable explanations and links to owning source files over copied implementation details, line counts, credentials, production IDs, or other facts likely to drift.
+- During final review, explicitly check whether the documentation still describes the code that will be committed.
+
+Do not start, restart, deploy, or otherwise enable live outreach unless the user explicitly authorizes that operational action. A code or documentation request does not imply permission to run the bot. Never expose `.env`, imported account dumps, cookies, Matrix tokens, dashboard tokens, private media, or database contents.

+# RedditBot documentation
+
+This directory is the starting point for agents and maintainers. It explains the system at the level needed to make safe changes; source code, tests, database migrations, and the generated API reference remain authoritative.
+
+## Read this first
+
+RedditBot is a stateful, multi-account outreach and conversation application. It discovers eligible Reddit posts, prepares AI-generated openers, sends them through Reddit's Matrix chat service, follows replies under bounded policies, records outcomes, and exposes an authenticated operator dashboard and agent API.
+
+The most important operational fact is that local and production configuration may be live-capable. Installing dependencies, building, and testing are safe. Starting the backend, invoking control endpoints, importing sessions, sending messages, or deploying may affect real Reddit accounts and requires explicit authorization.
+
+## Documentation map
+
+| Document | Use it when |
+| --- | --- |
+| [Product goals and safety](product-and-safety.md) | You need the purpose, product boundaries, eligibility policy, or definition of success. |
+| [Architecture](architecture.md) | You need the system shape, process lifecycle, dependency boundaries, or repository map. |
+| [Runtime flows](data-flow.md) | You are changing discovery, screening, candidate delivery, replies, chat sync, media, or realtime updates. |
+| [Service map](services.md) | You need to find the module that owns a responsibility or identify extension seams. |
+| [Data model](database.md) | You are changing persistence, migrations, account scoping, idempotency, or analytics. |
+| [Configuration](configuration.md) | You are adding a setting, changing precedence, or diagnosing startup validation. |
+| [API](api.md) | You are using or changing HTTP/MCP operations. This file is generated. |
+| [Frontend](frontend.md) | You are changing the React dashboard, shared contracts, queries, routes, or SSE behavior. |
+| [Development and testing](development.md) | You are setting up locally, implementing a change, or choosing verification commands. |
+| [Deployment and operations](deployment.md) | You are diagnosing or performing Docker/Dokploy work, backups, recovery, or live verification. |
+
+## Fast orientation by task
+
+- Candidate selection or outreach: read product-and-safety, data-flow, services, and database.
+- Conversation automation: read product-and-safety, data-flow, and the conversation state/claim sections in database.
+- Dashboard/API work: read frontend, api, and architecture.
+- Authentication or account work: read architecture, configuration, database, and deployment.
+- Production incident: read deployment first, then the flow and service that own the failing state.
+- Schema or config change: read database/configuration and update both transport contracts and tests where applicable.
+
+## Sources of truth
+
+Use this order when facts conflict:
+
+1. Observable behavior and focused tests.
+2. Shared Zod transport contracts in `packages/api-contracts/src/`.
+3. Runtime Zod configuration in `src/config/index.ts` and migrations in `src/database/client.ts`.
+4. Owning implementation under `src/` or `apps/dashboard/src/`.
+5. Generated `docs/api.md` and live `/api/openapi.json`.
+6. Narrative documentation in this directory.
+
+Documentation should explain why boundaries exist and where behavior lives. Avoid copying entire schemas, hard-coded production identifiers, current counts, or secrets into prose.
+
+## Keeping documentation current
+
+Every code change must include the documentation changes needed to keep this map accurate. In particular:
+
+- Add or remove links here when documents change.
+- Update architecture and service ownership when dependencies move.
+- Update runtime flows when ordering, eligibility, retries, or idempotency changes.
+- Update configuration and data model documents with schema changes.
+- Run `npm run docs:api` after modifying `src/web/api-catalog.ts`.
+- Keep historical plans out of current-state documents; use Git history for retired designs.
+
+See the repository-level [`agents.md`](../agents.md) for the mandatory agent workflow.

-Complete reference for configuring RedditBot.
+## Precedence and lifecycle
 
----
+Configuration is validated by `ConfigSchema` in `src/config/index.ts`.
 
-## Table of Contents
+1. `DATABASE_PATH` identifies the database before application settings can be read.
+2. If `app_config` exists, the application-owned configuration is loaded from SQLite.
+3. Otherwise, `config.yaml` is loaded once and the validated application-owned subset is seeded into SQLite.
+4. Environment-owned secrets and database location are injected on every start.
 
-1. [Configuration Overview](#configuration-overview)
+After the initial seed, editing `config.yaml` does not replace an existing `app_config` row. Use the authenticated settings/API workflow or a deliberate database migration. The config route validates the complete result before saving.
-2. [Configuration Storage](#configuration-storage)

+| Variable | Required | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Yes | OpenRouter authentication. |
+| `WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN` | When web is enabled | Administrator UI/API credential. |
+| `DATABASE_PATH` | No | SQLite location; defaults to `./data/reddit-bot.db`. |
+| `NTFY_AUTH_TOKEN` | No | Bearer token for a protected ntfy topic. |
+| `REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_READ_TOKEN` | No | Read-only API/SSE bearer credential. |
+| `REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_CONTROL_TOKEN` | No | Read plus versioned control/job bearer credential. |
+| `REDDIT_BOT_API_URL` | MCP only | Base URL; defaults to `http://127.0.0.1:3000`. |
+| `REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_TOKEN` | MCP only | Preferred MCP bearer credential override. |
 
-RedditBot uses a layered configuration approach:
+Never document real values. `.env` is ignored and may contain production credentials; do not print or blindly source it.

-Configuration is loaded at startup by `loadConfig()` in `src/config/index.ts`, which:
+### `reddit`
 
-1. Reads the singleton `app_config` record from SQLite
+- `subreddits`: at least one item with `name`, `enabled`, `type`, optional `weight`, `tone`, optional scripted opener, and conversation policy.
-2. Imports `config.yaml` only when upgrading an existing database that has no settings record
+- `pollIntervalMs`: legacy/scheduled polling cadence.
-3. Validates the entire configuration tree using Zod
+- `userAgent`: Reddit JSON request identifier.
-4. Returns a strongly-typed `Config` object
+- `targetGenders`: allowed parsed values.
+- `filterSellers`, `sellerKeywords`, `sellerDomains`: seller policy inputs; see also the `conversations` section, whose off-platform kill is independent of this flag. The defaults treat Telegram references, including `t.me` and `telegram.me` links, as seller signals alongside paid-content platforms and payment prompts.
+- `prioritizeRecentPosts`, `recentWindowMinutes`: recency/fallback behavior.
+- `maxReadyCandidates`: hard ceiling for the active candidate target; valid range 1–500. Runtime lowers the actual target to what authenticated running accounts can send within `recentWindowMinutes` under current rolling-hour and message-spacing limits.
+- `physiqueTargeting`: optional image-candidate filter with `enabled`, inclusive `minScore`, and inclusive `maxScore` values from 1 to 10. It is disabled by default. When enabled, a model score outside the range or an image without enough visible body evidence to score is rejected before opener generation. Saving the setting also reconciles prepared image candidates in the ready and delivery-retry stages: candidates that no longer qualify are rejected, while retained candidates receive the newly applied range snapshot shown in the funnel. A candidate already leased for sending is not changed mid-send. The setting is hot-read by existing account runtimes; chat sources are unaffected.
 
-Application-owned settings are edited from the dashboard and saved to SQLite. `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN`, and `DATABASE_PATH` remain environment-owned bootstrap values and are never stored in `app_config`.
+Physique targeting is owned only by its dedicated Monitoring controls. It is excluded from the advanced JSON response. Older cached dashboards may still submit a duplicate advanced copy; the server accepts but ignores that copy so it cannot overwrite the dedicated value persisted in `app_config`.
 
----
+Subreddit `type` is `image` or `chat`. Conversation policy contains `mode`, `maxAutomatedTurns`, and `rapportTurnsBeforeMediaAsk`; hybrid rapport turns must be lower than the maximum.
 
-## Configuration Storage
+### `conversations`
 
-### Legacy config.yaml
+- `offPlatformKill` (default `true`): end a conversation outright when the reply pushes it to another app, to contact details, or to a payment rail. Independent of `reddit.filterSellers`.
+- `killOnSellerKeyword` (default `true`): a configured seller keyword or domain also ends the conversation. Set `false` to hand those to an operator instead.
+- `aiReplyScreening.enabled` (default `false`): second-stage classifier on inbound replies, run only when the deterministic rules pass. Uses `openrouter.chatModel` and its fallbacks, and fails open.
+- `aiReplyScreening.killConfidence` (default `0.8`) / `flagConfidence` (default `0.6`): thresholds at which a seller/off-platform/scam/bot verdict kills or hands off.
 
-`config.yaml` is retained temporarily as a one-time migration source for existing installations. Once every deployed database contains an `app_config` row, it can be removed in a follow-up release.
+### `openrouter`
 
-```
+Contains image/chat primary and fallback models plus the analysis, message, and chat-opener prompt templates. The API key is environment-only. Model fallback and prompt changes affect cost, behavior, and experiment attribution and need focused tests plus operator-visible metadata.

-### Data Directory
+`growthCommentPrompt` is the template the account grower uses to write a public comment on someone else's thread. It supports `{subreddit}`, `{title}`, `{selftext}`, and `{flair}`. The thread is appended separately as fenced untrusted data and the deterministic safety gate runs on the result regardless of prompt wording, so editing this template changes tone, not the safety boundary.
 
-Runtime data is stored in `data/` (created automatically):

----
+These are per account. Reddit JSON request pacing is separately controlled by `RedditRequestCoordinator` and is process-global.
 
-## Environment Variables
+### `browser`
 
-Environment variables provide secrets and bootstrap settings that are intentionally excluded from SQLite.
+- `sessionDir`: root for persistent account browser profiles.
+- `dryRun`: when true, candidate preparation may run but remote sends must not.
 
-| Variable | Required | Type | Description | Example |
+Treat changing `dryRun` from true to false as enabling a real side effect.
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Yes | string | OpenRouter API key for AI services | `sk-or-v1-abc123...` |
-| `WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN` | Yes when dashboard enabled | string | Dashboard access token | `long-random-secret` |
-| `DATABASE_PATH` | No | string | SQLite database location | `./data/reddit-bot.db` |
 
-### Setting Environment Variables
+### `database`
 
-**Option 1: `.env` file** (recommended for development)
+Contains `path`, but runtime ownership is `DATABASE_PATH`, not the persisted application config.
 
-Create a `.env` file in the project root:
+### `media`
 
-```env
+Controls periodic sync enablement and interval. Media work remains authentication-bound.
-OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-abc123...
-WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN=long-random-secret
-```
 
-> **Note**: Add `.env` to `.gitignore` - never commit credentials.
+### `pushNotifications`
 
-**Option 2: Shell export**
+Publishes selected application events to a single ntfy topic so they reach a phone. Holds the enabled flag, server URL, topic, ntfy priority, and a boolean per event (`imageReceived`, `replyReceived`, `messageFailed`, `botStopped`, `rateLimited`, `sessionExpired`, `syncFailed`). Editable from Settings → Notifications, which writes through `PUT /api/push-notifications`; `POST /api/push-notifications/test` sends a fixed test notification. The access token is environment-owned (`NTFY_AUTH_TOKEN`), is never persisted to the settings record, and is never returned by the API — the response only reports `hasAuthToken`.
 
-```bash
+Delivery is best-effort: an unreachable or rejecting ntfy server is logged and never propagated into the path that produced the event.
-export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-abc123...
-export WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN=long-random-secret
-```
 
-**Option 3: Docker**
+### `strategies` and `chatStrategies`
 
-Pass via `docker-compose.yml` or Docker CLI:
+Each has exploration rate, minimum mature samples, response window, and weighted variants. Variants include an ID and prompt override. Image and chat sources use separate sections so their results are not compared as one experiment.
 
-```yaml
+### `web`
-environment:
-  - OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-abc123...
-  - WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN=long-random-secret
-```
 
----
+Controls enabled state, port, optional tokens after environment injection, and dangerous debug endpoint enablement. Production secrets should never live in YAML.
-
-## Application Settings
-
-Use **Settings** in the dashboard for monitoring, rate limits, dry-run behaviour, subreddits, models, prompts, filtering, media sync, and strategy configuration. The advanced JSON editor exposes settings that do not yet have dedicated controls; its payload is validated by the server before it is saved.
 
-The YAML examples below document the legacy field layout used during one-time migration.
+### Account growth
 
-Complete reference for every configuration option.
+Growth is configured per account through `/api/growth`, not through `config.yaml` or `app_config`, because the community list, allowance, and pause state belong to one Reddit identity. The stores are `account_growth_settings` and `account_growth_subreddits`; see `docs/database.md`.
 
-### Reddit Settings
+Operator-settable per account: enabled, minimum spacing, jitter, quiet hours, NSFW opt-in, the community list with per-community weight and daily cap, and pause/resume. The daily allowance itself is **not** operator-settable — it is derived from an adaptive trust level that the verification sweep maintains. `browser.dryRun` also suppresses growth posting.
 
-```yaml
+## Runtime-editable subset
-reddit:
-  # Subreddits to monitor for new posts
-  subreddits:
-    - gonewild
-    - ratemyboobs
-    - HomemadeNsfw
-    - realgirls
-    - plussize_gonewild
-    # ... add or remove subreddits
 
-  # Minutes between polling cycles
+The dashboard/API exposes a deliberate subset: rate limits, dry-run, recency and ready-funnel limits, subreddit definitions/conversation behavior, and selected advanced configuration. Shared transport schemas live in `packages/api-contracts/src/config.ts`; the backend source schema is still the final validator.
-  pollInterval: 15
 
-  # Target gender for image analysis filtering
+When adding a runtime-editable setting, update all of:
-  # Options: "F" (female), "M" (male)
-  targetGender: "F"
-
-  # Keywords used to detect sellers/spam profiles
-  # Posts from users matching these keywords are skipped

-    Analyze this image and provide:
+- Do not log the full config because it contains injected secrets in memory.
-    1. Gender detected (F or M)
+- Configuration that affects running account objects may not be fully hot-reloaded; inspect the owning service before claiming immediate effect.
-    2. Detailed description of the image content
+- A production `PUT /api/config` should be followed by an authenticated GET read-back. Do not infer persistence from a 2xx alone.
-    3. Notable features (hair color, clothing, setting, etc.)
+- A subreddit listing 404 is persisted as disabled so every account runtime stops polling it.

+## Local safe setup
 
-  # System prompt for message generation
+Install dependencies and run builds/tests without starting the application. If a local backend is explicitly needed, use a dry-run configuration and verify the database path/port before starting. Importing a real session or calling the start control is a separate live-capable action.

-### Rate Limiting
-
-```yaml
-rateLimit:
-  # Minimum delay between messages (milliseconds)
-  # Higher values reduce detection risk
-  minDelayMs: 30000
-
-  # Maximum messages per hour
-  # Bot will pause when this limit is reached
-  maxMessagesPerHour: 20
-
-  # Random jitter added to delay (milliseconds)
-  # Adds unpredictability to timing
-  jitterMs: 15000
-```
-
-**Timing example with defaults:**
-```
-Minimum delay: 30,000ms (30 seconds)
-Jitter: 0 to 15,000ms (0-15 seconds)
-Effective delay: 30-45 seconds between messages
-Max messages: 20 per hour

-## Runtime Configuration
-
-The following settings can be modified via the web dashboard without restarting the bot:
-
-| Setting | Endpoint | Type | Description |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `rateLimit.minDelayMs` | `PUT /api/config` | number | Message delay |
-| `rateLimit.maxMessagesPerHour` | `PUT /api/config` | number | Hourly cap |
-| `rateLimit.jitterMs` | `PUT /api/config` | number | Jitter range |
-| `reddit.pollInterval` | `PUT /api/config` | number | Poll frequency |
-| `dryRun` | `PUT /api/config` | boolean | Dry run mode |
-
-### Updating Runtime Config
-
-Via dashboard:
-1. Open the settings modal
-2. Modify desired values
-3. Click "Save"
-
-Via API:
-```bash
-curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/api/config \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
-    "rateLimit": {
-      "minDelayMs": 45000,
-      "maxMessagesPerHour": 15,
-      "jitterMs": 20000
-    },
-    "dryRun": true
-  }'
-```
-
-> **Note**: Runtime changes are in-memory only. They are lost when the bot restarts. To make changes persistent, update `config.yaml`.
-
----
-
-## Configuration Validation
-
-All configuration is validated using Zod at startup. Invalid configuration will cause the bot to exit with a descriptive error.

+### 1. Discovery
 
-## Post Processing Flow
+The discovery loop rotates through enabled subreddits and authenticated runtimes. A runtime fetches Reddit `/new` data using the process-shared `RedditRequestCoordinator`. Intake deduplicates post IDs and authors, excludes processed/contacted history, stores the full post snapshot, source type, weight, and timestamps, and logs exact intake counts.
 
-The primary data flow for discovering, analyzing, and messaging about new posts.
+The queue grows to a demand-based target rather than a fixed backlog. The target is the smaller of configured `reddit.maxReadyCandidates` and the work that authenticated running accounts can still send within the recent-post window, accounting for rolling hourly capacity and minimum message spacing. Intake admits only the current deficit, newest Reddit posts first, pauses at zero outbound capacity, and reports fetched posts left unevaluated because the funnel is full. Reddit request pacing, not a tight application poll, remains the primary request limiter.
 
-### Stage 1: Discovery
+### 2. Screening and preparation
 
-```
+A screening worker leases one discovered candidate. `MonitorService.screenCandidate()` applies cheap rules before expensive/networked rules:
-┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+
-│                     MonitorService                              │
+1. Global processed-post and recipient-history checks.
-│                                                                 │
+2. For chat sources, self-declared gender and adult age parsing.
-│  1. Shuffle subreddit order                                    │
+3. Seller evidence from the post, profile/about (including structured social links when exposed and narrow NSFW link-funnel language), and recent activity.
-│  2. For each subreddit:                                        │
+4. Source-specific preparation in `ProcessorService`.
-│     ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐    │
+
-│     │  RedditApi.fetchPosts(subreddit)                    │    │
+For image posts, preparation downloads and validates the image, detects target gender, and performs model analysis. The analysis includes a separate 1–10 visible-physique score only when enough of the body is visible. Its strict anchors place a broadly average visible physique at 5, reserve 8–10 for rare athletic or model-like physiques, and explicitly forbid using 6 as a safe default; nudity, breast size, face, pose, and photographic quality do not affect it. If physique targeting is enabled, an unknown score or a score outside the configured inclusive range becomes an explicit rejection before strategy selection and opener generation. Passing image posts then select an image strategy and generate an opener. Chat posts do not use physique targeting; they select a chat strategy and generate from the post text. Both paths apply outbound safety checks and return either a prepared immutable result or an explicit skip reason.
-│     │                                                     │    │
+
-│     │  HTTP: GET /r/{subreddit}/new.json?limit=100        │    │
+Terminal results become rejected candidates. Rate limits and transient failures become retryable candidates. Prepared candidates become ready; the persisted snapshot includes the opener, grounded image analysis, attractiveness and physique scores, the physique range used, source-image URL, and experiment/model/tone metadata. This lets a different account deliver without repeating AI work and lets the authenticated operator inspect the exact preparation context. Saving a physique-range change transactionally re-evaluates prepared image candidates in ready and delivery-retry stages, rejects those outside the new range, and refreshes the displayed range snapshot for retained candidates. A candidate already leased for sending is left unchanged until that send resolves.

+An account is eligible for new outreach only when its runtime is running, both identities verify, it has no actionable reply backlog, there is no invitation cooldown, and its rate limiter permits a send. Available accounts are ordered by their current hourly send count.
-│     │        {                                            │    │

-│     │          data: {                                   │    │
+Matrix cooldowns retain the operation that triggered them. A room-creation or invitation limit pauses new outreach but does not suppress replies in existing rooms; a limit returned while sending into an existing room pauses those sends as well.
-│     │            id: "abc123",                           │    │

+Screening, retry promotion, dispatch, and the operator's active-queue view are ordered by the Reddit post creation time, newest first; source priority is only a tie-breaker. The dispatch worker leases the newest ready candidate for an account, materializes the processed post in that account's repository, applies the account rate limiter, checks dry-run, and atomically claims the recipient globally. `ChatService.startConversationDetailed()` returns one of:
-│     │            author: "user123",                      │    │
+
-│     │            title: "Summer vibes",                  │    │
+- `sent`: persist the message and outcome metadata, commit recipient history, update activity, and mark the candidate sent;
-│     │            url: "https://...",                     │    │
+- `terminal`: release the recipient reservation and reject the candidate;
-│     │            preview: { reddits: [...] },            │    │
+- `retryable`: release/defer so another healthy account can claim it soon.
-│     │            thumbnail: "https://...",               │    │
+
-│     │            post_hint: "image",                     │    │
+Only Matrix confirmation makes a send successful. A healthy HTTP process, room identifier lookup, or attempted request does not.

+Every runtime shares one `RedditRequestCoordinator`, because Reddit can enforce limits by origin as well as account. JSON requests are serialized with a minimum interval; failed requests consume spacing too. A 429 extends the global cooldown using the server delay plus a buffer. Broad 403 behavior can also result in coordinated backoff. A listing 404 is treated as terminal for that subreddit and persisted as `enabled=false`.

+Do not add local retries around this layer without preserving the shared schedule. Per-account bursts defeat the coordinator.

+Explicit bot clients can send to a username through `POST /api/v1/messages` or the MCP `send_message_to_user` tool without selecting an account. The selector compares cached conversations case-insensitively and reuses the account that most recently interacted with that recipient. If no conversation exists, it chooses an authenticated running account with no invitation cooldown, preferring the lowest hourly send count. The selected account's normal rate limiter still owns the send. An API reply to an existing conversation marks automation as user-overridden so autonomous replies do not race the external caller.

+Each account runtime refreshes recent chats and processes actionable inbound conversations oldest-first before it can accept new outreach. After the initial conservative startup scan, the persisted latest Matrix message event plus the worker's prior-scan watermark is authoritative: a newly observed inbound event newer than the confirmed opener remains actionable even if Matrix's presentation-only unread notification count has already returned to zero. On startup, read-marked rooms without a pending reply claim are not revived. Durable event claims, conversation policy state, and a later outbound event prevent duplicate replies.

+Outgoing Matrix events are attributed against the recorded opener, durable automated-reply fingerprints, and confirmed exchange-library event records. If synchronization observes an unmatched outgoing message, the conversation becomes operator-owned before another reply can be generated. An unmatched outgoing message also supersedes, rather than confirms, a pending automated claim; only the claimed reply text can reconcile that claim as sent.

-### Stage 2: Image Processing
+The inbound event key, intended reply, claim status, and conversation state make retries idempotent. Immediately after any limiter wait, automation refreshes Matrix and revalidates the latest inbound event, boundaries, images, seller evidence, policy status, and the one-media-request limit. Newer state makes the old claim terminally `superseded`; it is never sent. If the process dies after Matrix accepted a reply, reconciliation finds the outbound event and marks the old claim sent instead of sending it again.
 
-```
+Legacy conversations may make at most one optional autonomous media request, including a request already present in the opener. The hybrid policy retains its single rapport-gated media ask. Deterministic, sequence-aware refusal checks run before generation and again at send time; generated media asks must pass the same non-explicit, non-coercive validator.

+## Chat and media synchronization
 
-```
+`ChatService` communicates with Reddit's Matrix homeserver, maintains an account-scoped SQLite-backed cache, resolves `t2_` identities to Reddit usernames, and emits sync progress/new-reply callbacks. Startup chooses full or delta sync from persisted cursor state. Operators can explicitly run tracked sync jobs through the versioned API.

-### Stage 4: Strategy Selection
+Each authenticated account runtime also checks the Reddit profiles represented in its cached conversations every four hours. Profile results are shared process-wide by case-insensitive username, so a recently checked recipient is not looked up again by another account runtime. A valid profile is recorded as active, Reddit's explicit suspension marker is recorded separately, and only an HTTP 404 is recorded as deleted; authentication, rate-limit, network, server, and malformed-response failures do not change the previous state. The dashboard removes deleted recipients from actionable conversation queues and exposes them through the dedicated **Account deleted** bucket.
 
-```
+`MediaService` resolves Matrix media, downloads it into the persistent data directory, and writes an account-scoped media index. Each Matrix message occurrence gets its own gallery record, while repeated occurrences of the same remote asset reuse one private file. Generic download content types are verified from the image bytes before an item is rejected as unsupported.

-### Stage 5: Full AI Analysis
+`MediaSyncService` schedules incremental work only while the account is authenticated. Incremental sync consumes the rooms changed since the durable Matrix cursor; the reported count is the number of rooms Matrix actually returned, not an assumed inbox limit. The cursor advances only after media attachment and cache persistence succeed, so a transient media failure is retried. When Matrix marks a room timeline as limited, chat sync paginates that room's history before advancing the cursor to close the omitted-event gap.
 
-```
+Full media sync walks every joined room and paginates until Matrix reports the end of history. Per-room history or media failures leave the full-sync marker unset and make an operator-triggered full media sync fail visibly; a later full sync can retry the incomplete rooms. Startup may retain the successfully loaded partial cache for availability, but it does not claim that a full backfill completed.

-### Stage 6: Message Generation
+The media listing reads persisted indexes for every stored account, including accounts whose runtimes are stopped or require login, and exposes received items only: records attributed to the owning Reddit/Matrix account are excluded, including historical self-sender forms. Private media is served behind the same authorization boundary as the dashboard and APIs.
 
-```
+The process-global exchange library is separate. Dashboard uploads are decoded and re-encoded with `sharp`, which validates the actual JPEG/PNG/WebP contents, applies orientation, and removes EXIF/location/camera metadata. OpenRouter then assigns overlapping anatomy tags plus SFW/NSFW classification. Failed or low-confidence classifications remain disabled until the operator corrects them.

-### Stage 7: DM Sending
+For each latest inbound text event, `MediaLibraryExchangeService` detects direct or indirect image requests before normal reply generation. Exact requests require the matching tag. Generic requests use the conversation's completed library-send count to broaden the eligible safety tier and randomly choose an unused asset. A unique durable reservation on account + conversation + asset prevents reuse, while account + conversation + inbound event makes restart handling idempotent.
 
-```
+After the normal reply limiter waits, automation refreshes Matrix and rechecks that the same inbound request is still latest and that no image, boundary, seller signal, or other terminal state has appeared. It then uploads the private file to Matrix, sends an `m.image` event with a stable transaction ID, and only after confirmation sends the optional reciprocal text. If the image is confirmed but the text is not, the asset remains consumed and the conversation is handed to the operator rather than risking a duplicate.

-### Stage 8: Database Recording
+The conversation UI also supports an explicitly confirmed manual choice from this same eligible set. Its read endpoint reports request-matched options without exposing filesystem paths. The send endpoint refreshes the conversation inside the owning account's rate limiter, rechecks the latest inbound request and safety boundaries, reserves the selected asset in the same durable ledger, and uses the same Matrix image-plus-reciprocal delivery path. A successful manual share marks automation as user-overridden.
 
-```
+Conversation performance is derived from the complete attributed inbound transcript. Engagement cannot become a prompt-learning example while automation is active, and a later decline, boundary, or upsell removes an earlier example before future prompts load it.

+Routes assemble snapshots from repositories and injected services. `LogBroadcaster`/the realtime event hub publishes typed events for bot state, sends, failures, conversations, replies, sync, sessions, rate limits, and logs. The React client validates incoming events, invalidates matching TanStack Query keys, and reconnects with replay support. Cached screens remain visible but stale during a disconnect.

-2. Shared Zod schemas in `packages/api-contracts` validate HTTP responses and
-   realtime envelopes at runtime.
-3. TanStack Query caches snapshots, preserves them during background refresh,
-   and owns mutation pending/error/success state.
-4. Operations opens `/api/events/stream`. Each typed event invalidates the
-   affected query keys, such as stats, timers, conversations, media, or
-   operations activity.
-5. Browser `EventSource` reconnects automatically. The client marks cached
-   state stale while reconnecting instead of blanking the UI.

-# Database Schema
+# Data model and persistence
 
-Complete reference for the SQLite database schema, migrations, and query patterns.
+## Storage model
 
----
+The application uses one `better-sqlite3` database, normally `data/reddit-bot.db`, in WAL mode with foreign keys enabled. The persistent Docker volume also holds browser profiles and downloaded media, so a database-only backup is not a complete account/content backup.
 
-## Table of Contents
+`src/database/client.ts` is the schema authority. Migrations are ordered functions guarded by SQLite `PRAGMA user_version` and run inside transactions. The repository does not use an ORM.

----
-
-## Overview
-
-RedditBot uses SQLite (via `better-sqlite3`) for persistent storage. The database tracks processed posts, sent messages, and successful message/response pairs.
-
-**Features**:
-- WAL mode for better concurrent read performance
-- Foreign key constraints enabled
-- Progressive migrations for schema evolution
-- Repository pattern for data access
-
----
-
-## Database File
-
-**Default path**: `./data/reddit-bot.db`
-
-Configured in `config.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-database:
-  path: "./data/reddit-bot.db"
-```
-
-The database file is auto-created on first run.
-
----
-
-## Schema
-

-## Indexes
-
-### `processed_posts` Indexes
-
-```sql
-CREATE INDEX idx_posts_subreddit ON processed_posts(subreddit);
-CREATE INDEX idx_posts_author ON processed_posts(author);
-```
-
-**Purpose**: Fast lookup by subreddit (for processing stats) and by author (for skip-checking).
-
----
-
-### `sent_messages` Indexes
-
-```sql
-CREATE INDEX idx_messages_recipient ON sent_messages(recipient);
-CREATE INDEX idx_messages_strategy ON sent_messages(strategy_id);
-CREATE INDEX idx_messages_response ON sent_messages(got_response);
-```
-
-**Purpose**:
-- `idx_messages_recipient`: Fast lookup when matching responses
-- `idx_messages_strategy`: Analytics by strategy variant
-- `idx_messages_response`: Filter for responded/not-responded
-
----
 
-### `successful_messages` Indexes
+### Account registry and account content
 
-```sql
+- `reddit_accounts`: verified Reddit/Matrix identity, encrypted-at-rest only to the degree provided by the host/volume, cookie JSON, Matrix credentials, active/status timestamps.
-CREATE INDEX idx_success_subreddit ON successful_messages(subreddit);
+- `reddit_conversations`: account-scoped cached Matrix conversation payloads.
-CREATE INDEX idx_success_message ON successful_messages(sent_message_id);
+- `reddit_account_sync_state`: account-scoped sync cursor, full/delta timestamps, and invitation cooldown.
-```
+- `reddit_recipient_account_status`: process-global, case-insensitive recipient username status (`active`, `suspended`, or `deleted`) and last confirmed check time.
+- `reddit_media`: account-scoped private-media metadata and relative file path.
+- `media_library_assets`: process-global operator-owned image metadata, overlapping anatomy tags, SFW/NSFW classification, consent time, enablement, dimensions, hash, and private relative path.
+- `media_library_sends`: account/conversation/inbound-event reservation and confirmed/failed Matrix delivery audit for a shared library asset.
+- `account_growth_settings`: per-account commenting switch, adaptive trust level, spacing/jitter, quiet hours, NSFW opt-in, and the operator-clearable pause reason.
+- `account_growth_subreddits`: per-account community list with weight, daily cap, and any Reddit-imposed disable reason or cooldown.
+- `account_growth_comments`: durable growth comment records from discovery through posting and verification, including the exact text posted, score history, removal and public-visibility verdicts.
 
-**Purpose**:
+The special legacy-unassigned account exists only to preserve rows created before account ownership was introduced. New runtime data must use a verified account ID.
-- `idx_success_subreddit`: Weighted example selection by subreddit
-- `idx_success_message`: Link back to sent message
 
----
+### Outreach and outcomes
 
-## Migrations
+- `processed_posts`: account/post key, source metadata, analysis, generated opener, send marker, and terminal error/rejection reason.
+- `sent_messages`: account-owned opener/reply attribution, strategy/experiment/model metadata, Matrix room, response/image flags, and source type.
+- `successful_messages`: mature positive examples for prompt context; terminal negative reclassification removes the linked example.
+- `conversation_outcomes`: normalized outcome for a sent message (`engaged`, `declined`, `boundary`, `upsell`, or `unknown`).
+- `activity_log`: operator-facing events with optional recipient/post context.
+- `reddit_users`: global mapping between Reddit fullname/username and Matrix identity.
+- `recipient_suppressions`: process-global recipient reservation/contact record used to prevent cross-account duplicates.
 
-Migrations are defined in `src/database/client.ts` and run automatically on every startup.
+### Durable work and idempotency
 
-### Migration Logic
+- `candidate_queue`: global candidate snapshot, source/priority, state, prepared payload, worker lease, retry timing, selected account, and rejection/error details. Image preparation snapshots retain the generated opener, grounded analysis, both AI scores, the physique range used, source-image URL, and experiment/model/tone metadata for delivery and operator review.
+- `delivery_outbox`: account-scoped prepared delivery and idempotency status retained for legacy/recovery paths.
+- `conversation_states`: account/conversation policy and derived state JSON.
+- `conversation_automation_claims`: account/conversation/inbound-event claim with intended reply and `pending`, `sent`, or terminal `superseded` state plus audit timestamps.
+- `runtime_state`: small process controls such as whether bot work is running.
 
-```typescript
+### Configuration and telemetry
-// Pseudo-code for migration process
-function runMigrations(db: Database) {
-  // Enable features
-  db.exec("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;");
-  db.exec("PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON;");
 
-  // Create tables if they don't exist
+- `app_config`: one secret-free validated application configuration record.
-  db.exec(`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS processed_posts (...)`);
+- `ai_usage`: requested/actual model, token/cost, latency, success/error, purpose, and account attribution.
-  db.exec(`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sent_messages (...)`);
+- `legacy_content_imports`: records one-time imports from legacy content stores.
-  db.exec(`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS successful_messages (...)`);
 
-  // Create indexes if they don't exist
+## Critical invariants
-  db.exec(`CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_posts_subreddit ON processed_posts(subreddit)`);
-  // ... more indexes
 
-  // Safe column additions (for schema evolution)
+1. Account-produced rows carry `account_id`; cross-account views must opt into global queries explicitly.
-  db.exec(`ALTER TABLE processed_posts ADD COLUMN error TEXT`);
+2. Recipient identity comparisons are case-insensitive and global for outreach suppression.
-}
+3. A sent message is persisted only after remote confirmation.
-```
+4. Candidate and automation claims are lease/claim based; a worker must own the expected lease before it changes state.
+5. Conversation policy is snapshotted in state JSON when automation starts for that conversation.
+6. Secrets and the database path are not stored in `app_config`.
+7. Private media paths in SQLite are relative to the persistent data root; HTTP access remains authenticated.
+8. Received `reddit_media` and operator `media_library_assets` are separate ownership domains; no automatic copy or promotion exists. Received-media identity represents the account-scoped Matrix message occurrence, so repeated use of one remote asset can produce multiple gallery rows that safely share the same private relative file path.
+9. A library image content hash has at most one reservation per account conversation, even if the same file is later re-uploaded under a new asset ID; an inbound request also has at most one selected asset. Failed or uncertain attempts remain reserved to prevent duplicates.
+11. Exactly one account may comment on a given thread. `account_growth_comments` enforces this with a unique index on `post_id` across all accounts, because two owned accounts commenting on the same post is the easiest pattern for Reddit to correlate.
+12. A growth comment interrupted while posting is rejected, never retried. The process cannot know whether the write reached Reddit, and a duplicate comment cannot be withdrawn.
 
-### Migration Safety
+10. Recipient account status changes only after a definitive Reddit profile response. Transient lookup failures retain the previous value, and the shared check timestamp prevents duplicate lookups across account runtimes during the four-hour interval.
 
-- All `CREATE TABLE` statements use `IF NOT EXISTS`
+## Repository map
-- All `CREATE INDEX` statements use `IF NOT EXISTS`
-- Column additions use `ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` pattern
-- Migrations are idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
 
-### Adding New Columns
+`src/database/repositories.ts` contains the domain repositories for posts/messages/outcomes/activity/outbox/state/claims/users/recipient history. `account-repositories.ts` owns account records and cached account content. Candidate and AI telemetry have dedicated repositories.
 
-When adding new columns to existing tables:
+Prefer narrow repository methods such as `claimReady`, `markSent`, or `getByChatRoomId` to exposing SQL or generic CRUD. This keeps transaction and ownership rules near the schema.
 
-```typescript
+## Candidate leases
-// In src/database/client.ts
-const tableInfo = db.prepare(`PRAGMA table_info(processed_posts)`).all();
-const hasErrorColumn = tableInfo.some((col: any) => col.name === 'error');
 
-if (!hasErrorColumn) {
+Discovery inserts candidates without overwriting terminal work. Screening and dispatch use a worker ID plus lease expiry. On startup all interrupted leases can be recovered; during operation expired leases are recovered and due retries promoted. A transient account failure belongs to the selected account, so delivery can be made visible quickly for another eligible runtime without losing the prepared candidate.
-  db.exec("ALTER TABLE processed_posts ADD COLUMN error TEXT");
-}
-```
 
----
+Any new candidate state needs:
 
-## Query Patterns
+- an allowed predecessor and terminal/retry semantics;
+- a lease ownership rule;
+- recovery behavior after process death;
+- counts/reasons for the operator funnel;
+- tests for stale lease, wrong owner, restart, and duplicate post/author cases.
 
-### Post Processing
+## Conversation reply claims
 
-**Check if post was already processed**:
+The unique identity is account + conversation + inbound message key. The claim persists the intended reply before the remote send. A pending claim is not blindly retried: Matrix history is checked first. After rate-limit waiting, Matrix is refreshed again; a newer event, boundary, received image, seller signal, operator-owned state, or repeated media request changes the claim to `superseded` and records `superseded_at`. This closes both the process-crash window between remote acceptance and local completion and the stale-send window while a reply is queued.
 
-```sql
+Changes to this flow must prove at-most-once observable replies across retry and restart tests.
-SELECT id FROM processed_posts WHERE id = ?;
-```
 
-**Mark post as processed**:
+Outcome rows are re-evaluated from the complete attributed recipient transcript. Negative outcomes take precedence over reciprocal activity. `successful_messages` rows are created only after the conversation becomes terminal/human-owned and are deleted by `sent_message_id` when later evidence changes the outcome.
 
-```sql
+## Configuration persistence
-INSERT OR REPLACE INTO processed_posts 
-  (id, subreddit, author, title, image_url, image_analysis, 
-   generated_message, processed_at, message_sent, error)
-VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);
-```
 
-**Mark post as sent**:
+On an empty database, `config.yaml` is parsed, environment-owned values are injected, the result is validated, and the application-owned subset is saved to `app_config`. Later starts load SQLite first. Dashboard changes update that record.
 
-```sql
+The persisted record excludes:
-UPDATE processed_posts 
-SET message_sent = 1 
-WHERE id = ?;
-```
 
-**Update post with analysis**:
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`;
+- dashboard/agent tokens;
+- `DATABASE_PATH`.
 
-```sql
+Those values are supplied by the environment on every load.
-UPDATE processed_posts 
-SET image_analysis = ?, generated_message = ? 
-WHERE id = ?;
-```
 
----
+## Adding a migration
 
-### Message Tracking
+1. Inspect the final schema and all repository assumptions.
+2. Append one migration function; never reorder or modify an already-released migration.
+3. Make the operation transactional and compatible with existing data.
+4. Use `addColumnIfNotExists` only where repeatability is appropriate; table rebuilds need explicit foreign-key handling and `foreign_key_check`.
+5. Update repository types and operations.
+6. Add tests for a fresh in-memory database and, when relevant, an older schema upgraded in place.
+7. Update this document and affected API/contracts.
 
-**Record a sent message**:
+Do not edit a live SQLite file by hand. Back it up, stop writers when required, apply code-owned migrations, and verify `integrity_check`, `foreign_key_check`, row counts, and application reads.
 
-```sql
+## Backup and recovery
-INSERT INTO sent_messages 
-  (post_id, recipient, subject, message, sent_at, strategy_id)
-VALUES (?, ?, 'Stunning', ?, ?, ?);
-```
 
-**Get recent messages**:
+For a running WAL database, use SQLite's online backup mechanism or stop the container before copying the database plus `-wal`/`-shm` state. A full production backup should include the entire persistent volume because sessions and media live beside the database. Validate that the backup can be opened and contains expected tables before any destructive reset.
-
-```sql
-SELECT * FROM sent_messages 
-ORDER BY sent_at DESC 
-LIMIT ?;
-```
-
-**Update response status**:
-
-```sql
-UPDATE sent_messages 
-SET got_response = 1, response_checked_at = ? 
-WHERE id = ?;
-```
-
-**Check if user was previously messaged**:
-
-```sql
-SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sent_messages WHERE recipient = ?;
-```
-
----
-
-### Strategy Analytics
-
-**Get strategy statistics**:
-
-```sql
-SELECT 
-  strategy_id,
-  COUNT(*) as sent,
-  SUM(got_response) as responded
-FROM sent_messages
-WHERE strategy_id IS NOT NULL
-GROUP BY strategy_id;
-```
-
-**Get response rate by subreddit**:
-
-```sql
-SELECT 
-  p.subreddit,
-  COUNT(*) as sent,
-  SUM(s.got_response) as responded
-FROM sent_messages s
-JOIN processed_posts p ON s.post_id = p.id
-GROUP BY p.subreddit;
-```
-
-**Get daily response trend**:
-
-```sql
-SELECT 
-  DATE(sent_at, 'unixepoch') as date,
-  COUNT(*) as sent,
-  SUM(got_response) as responded
-FROM sent_messages
-GROUP BY DATE(sent_at, 'unixepoch')
-ORDER BY date DESC
-LIMIT 30;
-```
-
----
-
-### Few-Shot Learning
-
-**Get successful examples for a subreddit**:
-
-```sql
-SELECT 
-  original_message,
-  image_analysis,
-  post_title,
-  response_snippet
-FROM successful_messages
-WHERE subreddit = ?
-ORDER BY created_at DESC
-LIMIT 3;
-```
-
-**Store successful pair**:
-
-```sql
-INSERT INTO successful_messages 
-  (sent_message_id, original_message, image_analysis, 
-   post_title, response_snippet, subreddit, created_at)
-VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);
-```
-
----
-
-## Repository Methods
-
-### PostsRepository
-
-```typescript
-class PostsRepository {
-  /** Check if a post was already processed */
-  getById(id: string): ProcessedPost | undefined
-
-  /** Mark a post as processed */
-  insert(post: ProcessedPostInsert): void
-
-  /** Mark a post as having a message sent */
-  markSent(id: string): void
-
-  /** Update post with AI analysis results */
-  updateAnalysis(id: string, analysis: string, message: string): void
-
-  /** Get total count of processed posts */
-  count(): number
-
-  /** Get count by subreddit */
-  countBySubreddit(subreddit: string): number
-}
-```
-
-### MessagesRepository
-
-```typescript
-class MessagesRepository {
-  /** Record a sent message */
-  insert(message: MessageInsert): number
-
-  /** Get recent sent messages */
-  getRecent(limit: number): SentMessage[]
-
-  /** Get messages by recipient */
-  getByRecipient(recipient: string): SentMessage[]
-

-  count(): number
-
-  /** Get recent examples */
-  getRecent(limit: number): SuccessfulMessage[]
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Data Retention
-
-### Current Behavior
-
-All data is retained indefinitely. There is no automatic cleanup or retention policy.
-
-| Table | Retention | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| `processed_posts` | Indefinite | Grows with each post processed |
-| `sent_messages` | Indefinite | Grows with each message sent |
-| `successful_messages` | Indefinite | Grows with each response received |
-
-### Estimated Growth
-
-With default settings (20 messages/hour, 24/7 operation):
-
-| Timeframe | Posts | Messages | Responses (est. 30%) |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 1 day | ~480 | ~288 | ~86 |
-| 1 week | ~3,360 | ~2,016 | ~605 |
-| 1 month | ~14,400 | ~8,640 | ~2,592 |
-| 1 year | ~175,200 | ~105,120 | ~31,536 |
-
-### Recommended Cleanup (Future)
-
-Consider implementing automated cleanup:
-
-```sql
--- Archive old processed posts
-CREATE TABLE processed_posts_archive AS
-SELECT * FROM processed_posts
-WHERE processed_at < ?;
-
--- Delete archived posts
-DELETE FROM processed_posts
-WHERE processed_at < ?;
-
--- Keep last N months of data
-```
-
-> **Note**: Successful messages should NEVER be deleted as they are used for few-shot learning.

-# Deployment Guide
+# Deployment and operations
 
-Complete guide for deploying RedditBot in various environments.
+## Production model
 
----
+The production unit is the `reddit-bot` Docker Compose service. The image uses the Playwright base, installs/builds the Node application, serves the compiled React dashboard and Express API on port 3000, and stores state under `/app/data` on the named `reddit_bot_data` volume.
 
-## Table of Contents
+The container does not run VNC, accept Reddit passwords, or scrape a Matrix token from a login browser. Account authentication enters through a locally exported session dump and is persisted in the sensitive volume.
 
-1. [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
+## Authority and safety
-2. [Local Development](#local-development)
-3. [Docker Deployment](#docker-deployment)
-4. [Docker Compose](#docker-compose)
-5. [Dokploy Deployment](#dokploy-deployment)
-6. [Production Considerations](#production-considerations)
-7. [Monitoring & Maintenance](#monitoring--maintenance)
-8. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting-1)
 
----
+Deployment, restart, start/resume, session import, configuration mutation, send actions, and data deletion are separate operations. Only perform the ones the user explicitly requested. In particular, “commit and push” does not authorize a Dokploy deployment or bot restart.
 
-## Prerequisites
+Before any live operation:
 
-### Required
+1. Confirm the target is the RedditBot Compose service, not the whole Dokploy host/instance.
+2. Inspect current Git revision, worktree/remote state, deployment state, bot running/paused state, account runtimes, and recent errors.
+3. Identify whether the action can send messages or change account state.
+4. Back up affected persistent state before destructive or migration-heavy work.
+5. Define observable success criteria and a recovery path.
 
-| Requirement | Version | Notes |
+## Required environment
-|---|---|---|
-| Node.js | 20.19+ or 22.12+ | Required by the locked Vite toolchain |
-| npm | Bundled with Node | Use `npm ci` for lockfile-exact installs |
-| OpenRouter API Key | - | Sign up at [openrouter.ai](https://openrouter.ai) |
-| Reddit Account | - | With DM permissions enabled |
 
-### Recommended
+The Compose service passes:
 
-| Requirement | Notes |
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`;
-|---|---|
+- `WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN`;
-| 1 GB RAM | Minimum for browser automation |
+- optional `REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_READ_TOKEN`;
-| 1 CPU core | More for higher message throughput |
+- optional `REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_CONTROL_TOKEN`.
-| 5 GB disk | For database, media, and browser data |
 
----
+Dokploy access credentials are stored in the ignored repository `.env`. Use them only when access is explicitly requested. Never print the file, include tokens in commands that will be echoed, commit them, or copy response metadata containing credentials. Follow redirects for Dokploy API calls.
 
-## Local Development
+## Persistence
 
-### 1. Clone and Install
+`reddit_bot_data:/app/data` contains:
 
-```bash
+- SQLite database and WAL files;
-git clone <repository-url>
+- imported browser/account sessions;
-cd RedditBot
+- cached Matrix credentials/state;
-npm install
+- downloaded private media;
-```
+- per-account browser profiles.
 
-### 2. Configure
+A volume replacement or deletion is therefore a destructive account-and-content reset. Verify a readable backup before touching it and state exactly what will be lost. Removing a Compose application and deleting its volume are not the same action.
 
-Create `config.yaml`:
+## Deployment procedure
 
-```yaml
+Use the actual current Dokploy API/Compose identifiers from a read-only lookup; do not copy identifiers into documentation or assume an older deployment still has the same ID.
-reddit:
-  subreddits:
-    - gonewild
-  pollInterval: 15
-  targetGender: "F"
-  sellerKeywords:
-    - seller
-    - onlyfans
 
-openrouter:
+1. Confirm the intended commit exists on the tracked remote branch.
-  apiKey: "sk-or-v1-your-key-here"
+2. Read current Compose/deployment status and capture the prior image/revision if available.
-  model: "meta-llama/llama-3.2-90b-vision-preview"
+3. Confirm whether the bot must remain paused through deployment. Do not change persisted running state unless authorized.
-  fallbackModels:
+4. Trigger the bounded Compose deployment.
-    - "google/gemini-2.0-flash-001"
+5. Poll the deployment record to a terminal success/failure state; an accepted trigger is not completion.
+6. Verify the running container is the new deployment and is not restarting.
+7. Verify public `GET /healthz` and authenticated `GET /api/v1/readyz`/overview as appropriate.
+8. Verify account runtime count/state, bot paused/running state, sync/cooldown state, and recent sanitized logs.
+9. Verify the persistent volume is mounted and pre-deployment data is readable.
 
-rateLimit:
+Do not use a green container health badge as the only evidence. The process may be healthy while account runtimes are logged out, the bot is paused, Matrix is degraded, or candidate/reply work is blocked.
-  minDelayMs: 30000
-  maxMessagesPerHour: 20
-  jitterMs: 15000
 
-browser:
+## Health semantics
-  sessionDir: "./data/browser-session"
-  dryRun: true
 
-database:
+- `/healthz`: unauthenticated process liveness only; intentionally reveals no private state.
-  path: "./data/reddit-bot.db"
+- `/api/v1/readyz`: authenticated component readiness and degraded authentication state.
+- `/api/v1/overview`: consolidated runtime, account, sync, rate-limit, candidate/reply, and recent-error view.
+- `/api/stats`, `/api/attention`, `/api/outreach`: operator-level workload detail.
+- `/api/events/stream`: realtime signal, not a replacement for snapshot checks.
 
-web:
+Success should distinguish:
-  port: 3000
 
-dryRun: true  # Start in dry run mode
+- process/container running;
-```
+- API reachable and authenticated;
+- database/volume mounted;
+- accounts restored and verified;
+- bot intentionally paused or running;
+- no crash loop or new high-severity errors;
+- requested workload actually completed.
 
-Set environment variables:
+The authentication lease deliberately expires while an account is idle. A
+start request revalidates the persisted Reddit and Matrix credentials before
+changing the run state, so an otherwise valid paused account does not become
+stuck behind the start safety gate. A failed revalidation still returns a
+conflict and requires a fresh extension session import.
 
-```bash
+## Account session operations
-export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-your-key"
-export WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN="long-random-secret"
-```
 
-### 3. Import account session
+The supported workflow is:
 
-Start the dashboard, then upload a combined Reddit and Matrix dump created by the local Chrome extension. Until both identities verify, account work remains paused.
+1. Load `extensions/reddit-session-exporter` into the operator's local Chrome.
+2. Sign in to Reddit locally and open Reddit Chat.
+3. Export a combined Reddit cookie + Matrix session JSON.
+4. Upload it through Settings > Access.
+5. Wait for both Reddit and Matrix identities to verify and for the matching runtime to be replaced/started.
+6. Delete the local export file.
 
-### 4. Start the Bot
+The dump is a bearer credential bundle. Do not inspect or paste it into logs. An account with one valid half is still unavailable for work.
 
-```bash
+## Incident diagnosis
-# Terminal 1: backend with TypeScript execution
-npm run dev
 
-# Terminal 2: Vite dashboard; proxies /api to port 3000
+### No new outreach
-npm run dashboard:dev
 
-# Production: compile server and dashboard, then start
+Check, in order: persisted bot running state, the per-account delivery states on Overview, enabled/running account count, full authentication, reply backlog, account send timer/hourly cap, account-specific Matrix cooldown, global Reddit cooldown, candidate funnel counts/reasons, enabled subreddit count, recent intake/screening logs, and OpenRouter failures.
-npm run build
-npm start
-```
 
-### 5. Access Dashboard
+Do not infer “no candidates” from “fetched N posts.” Inspect already processed/contacted, age/gender, seller, expired, AI skip, ready, retry, and rejected counts.
 
-Open the Vite URL (normally http://localhost:5173) during frontend development.
+### Conversations appear stale
-Production dashboard checks use http://localhost:3000.
 
----
+Separate Matrix remote acceptance from cached/dashboard visibility. Inspect Matrix identity/whoami, sync cursor/status, last full/delta sync, new event IDs, username enrichment, HTTP conversation snapshot, SSE validation/reconnect, and client query invalidation. A stale dashboard can coexist with a successful remote send.
 
-## Docker Deployment
+### Reddit 403/429/404
 
-### Build the Image
+- 429: honor `retryAfterMs` through the shared coordinator and avoid additional account requests.
+- repeated/broad 403: treat as a possible service-wide anti-abuse block; inspect successful requests and shared cooldown rather than declaring every subreddit private.
+- listing 404: the code disables that configured subreddit persistently.
 
-```bash
+### Database problems
-docker build -t reddit-bot .
-```
 
-### Run the Container
+Stop writers if recovery needs file operations. Back up the entire data directory, inspect SQLite `integrity_check`/`foreign_key_check`, WAL state, disk capacity/permissions, migration version, and recent logs. Do not create an empty replacement database over the original.
 
-```bash
+## Backup and destructive recovery
-docker run -d \
-  --name reddit-bot \
-  -p 3000:3000 \
-  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
-  -e OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-key \
-  -e WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN=long-random-secret \
-  reddit-bot:latest
-```
 
-### Dockerfile behavior
+For routine backups, prefer a volume-level snapshot or a consistent SQLite online backup plus browser/media directories. For a reset:
 
-The image is based on the Playwright Jammy image because the remaining
+1. State whether scope is one account, selected content, the RedditBot volume, the Compose application, or the Dokploy instance.
-authenticated browser operations need Chromium and its system libraries. It
+2. Capture and validate a backup.
-does not install a display server, VNC, or consumer Google Chrome.
+3. Stop relevant writers.
+4. Resolve explicit volume/container/app identifiers with read-only inspection.
+5. Perform only the authorized deletion.
+6. Recreate/deploy, then verify health, schema, accounts, and persistence.
+7. Report what was removed and whether/how it can be restored.
 
-That build produces both `dist/` for the Express server and
+## Routine checks
-`apps/dashboard/dist/` for Vite assets. Port 3000 serves the dashboard/API and
-the container starts the Node process directly. This is a single-stage image and retains development dependencies
-needed by the current build/runtime layout.
 
----
+- Review attention items, failed/retrying candidates, reply backlog age, account authentication, invitation/global cooldowns, model errors/cost, and disk/volume health.
+- Review response/image rates only with mature sample counts and by source/strategy/account context.
+- Back up before migrations, account resets, or Compose/volume changes.
+- Rotate dashboard, agent, OpenRouter, Reddit, and Matrix credentials after suspected exposure.
 
-## Docker Compose
+The concise account activation instructions in [`../DOKPLOY_DEPLOY.md`](../DOKPLOY_DEPLOY.md) complement this operational guide.

----
-
-## Dokploy Deployment
-
-Dokploy is a self-hosted platform for deploying applications. See `DOKPLOY_DEPLOY.md` for detailed instructions.
-
-### Quick Start
-
-1. **Create Application**: In Dokploy dashboard, create a new Docker application
-2. **Set Environment Variables**:
-   - `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`
-   - `WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN`
-3. **Mount Volume**: Mount `./data` for persistent storage
-4. **Set Port**: Map container port 3000 to host port
-5. **Deploy**: Push to repository and trigger deployment
-
-### Dokploy Configuration
-
-```yaml
-# Dokploy-specific settings
-app:
-  type: docker
-  repository: <your-repo>
-  branch: main
-  dockerfilePath: Dockerfile
-  
-  environment:
-    OPENROUTER_API_KEY: $OPENROUTER_API_KEY
-    WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN: $WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN
-  
-  ports:
-    - container: 3000
-      host: 3000
-  
-  volumes:
-    - source: reddit-bot-data
-      target: /app/data
-      type: bind
-  
-  restartPolicy: unless-stopped
-```
-
----
-
-## Production Considerations
-
-### Security
-
-1. **Network Isolation**: Keep the dashboard on a trusted network during the
-   migration cutover
-2. **Environment Variables**: Never commit credentials; use secrets management
-3. **Dashboard Access**: Authenticated Express hosting for React assets, API,
-   SSE, debug routes, and private media is a required cutover gate, not a
-   currently proven guarantee
-4. **Browser Data**: Protect `data/browser/` directory
-
-### Performance
-
-1. **Account dumps**: Delete downloaded dumps after the dashboard verifies them
-2. **WAL Mode**: SQLite WAL mode is enabled by default for concurrent reads
-3. **Rate Limiting**: Adjust based on Reddit account age and trust level
-4. **Message Volume**: Start low (10-20/hour) and increase gradually
-
-### Reliability
-
-1. **Auto-restart**: Use `restart: unless-stopped` in Docker
-2. **Health Checks**: Monitor `/api/stats` endpoint
-3. **Logging**: Review logs regularly for errors
-4. **Backups**: Regularly backup `data/reddit-bot.db`
-
-### Monitoring
-
-1. **Dashboard**: Check web dashboard for real-time stats
-2. **Response Rate**: Monitor response rates per strategy/subreddit
-3. **Error Rate**: Watch for AI refusals, send failures
-4. **Browser Health**: Verify session isn't expired
-
-### Scaling
-
-RedditBot is designed as a single-instance application. For scaling:
-
-1. **Multiple Accounts**: Run separate instances per Reddit account
-2. **Subreddit Split**: Distribute subreddits across instances
-3. **Centralized DB**: Consider moving to PostgreSQL for multi-instance
-
----
-
-## Monitoring & Maintenance
-
-### Daily Checks
-
-- [ ] Dashboard shows bot is running
-- [ ] Response rate is reasonable (>10%)
-- [ ] No repeated errors in logs
-- [ ] Browser session is active
-
-### Weekly Tasks
-
-- [ ] Review analytics (strategy performance, subreddit performance)
-- [ ] Check disk usage (media files, database)
-- [ ] Verify backup is working
-- [ ] Review successful messages for quality
-
-### Monthly Tasks
-
-- [ ] Backup database
-- [ ] Review and update strategy variants
-- [ ] Check for OpenRouter model updates
-- [ ] Review and update seller keywords
-- [ ] Verify browser session is still valid
-
-### Backup Procedure
-
-```bash
-# Stop the bot
-docker compose stop
-
-# Backup database
-cp data/reddit-bot.db data/reddit-bot.db.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d)
-
-# Backup browser session (optional)
-tar czf data/browser.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz data/browser/
-
-# Restart the bot
-docker compose start
-```
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Bot Won't Start
-
-**Symptom**: Bot exits immediately on startup.
-
-**Steps**:
-1. Check logs: `docker compose logs reddit-bot`
-2. Verify `config.yaml` syntax
-3. Verify environment variables are set
-4. Check for Zod validation errors in logs
-
-### Account Import Fails
-
-**Symptom**: Account work stays paused or import verification fails.
-
-**Steps**:
-1. Sign in to Reddit in local Chrome
-2. Open Reddit Chat and wait for the extension badge to show `OK`
-3. Export and upload a new combined session dump
-4. Check logs for Reddit or Matrix identity errors
-
-### AI Analysis Fails
-
-**Symptom**: All messages show "AI refusal" or analysis errors.
-
-**Steps**:
-1. Verify API key is valid and has balance
-2. Check model availability on OpenRouter
-3. Try changing to a different model
-4. Review logs for specific error messages
-
-### High Error Rate
-
-**Symptom**: Many messages fail to send.
-
-**Steps**:
-1. Check rate limiting (reduce maxMessagesPerHour)
-2. Increase minDelayMs and jitterMs
-3. Check for IP bans (try different network)
-4. Review Reddit account standing
-
-### Dashboard Not Accessible
-
-**Symptom**: Cannot reach http://localhost:3000.
-
-**Steps**:
-1. Verify bot is running (`docker compose ps`)
-2. Check port is not in use: `lsof -i :3000`
-3. Verify firewall allows port 3000
-4. Check web.port in config.yaml
-
-### Database Issues
-
-**Symptom**: Database errors or corruption.
-
-**Steps**:
-1. Stop the bot
-2. Backup the database
-3. Try opening with SQLite viewer to check integrity
-4. If corrupted, restore from backup
-5. Consider enabling automatic backups

-Guide for contributing to RedditBot development.
+## Prerequisites
 
----
+- Node.js compatible with the lockfile/native `better-sqlite3` build.
+- npm.
+- Playwright system/browser dependencies for browser-backed tests or runtime work.
+- No live account is required for unit, contract, route, or dashboard tests.
 
-## Table of Contents
+NodeNext imports use `.js` suffixes even when the source file is `.ts`. Vitest globals are disabled, so tests import `describe`, `it`, `expect`, and hooks explicitly.

-## Development Setup
-
-### 1. Install Dependencies
 
 ```bash
-npm install
+npm ci
+npm run build
+npm test
 ```
 
-### 2. Configure
+Do not start `npm run dev` merely to verify a build. The repository `.env` and persisted database can make the process live-capable. Starting the backend, importing sessions, or toggling the bot to running requires explicit authorization and a confirmed dry-run/live intent.
 
-Copy and edit `config.yaml`:
+If native SQLite bindings fail after a Node upgrade, distinguish pure TypeScript/unit results from database verification. Rebuild/install a compatible `better-sqlite3`; `--ignore-scripts` is not a valid database test environment.
 
-```bash
+## Commands
-cp config.yaml config.yaml.backup  # Backup existing
-# Edit config.yaml with your settings
-```
 
-### 3. Set Environment Variables
+| Command | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `npm run build` | Compile server and production dashboard. |
+| `npm run build:server` | Run backend TypeScript compiler. |
+| `npm run dashboard:typecheck` | Type-check the React application. |
+| `npm run dashboard:build` | Build dashboard assets. |
+| `npm test` | Run the complete Vitest suite once. |
+| `npm run test:watch` | Watch tests during local development. |
+| `npm run test:coverage` | Run with coverage. |
+| `npm run docs:api` | Regenerate `docs/api.md`. |
+| `npm run docs:api:check` | Fail if generated API documentation is stale. |
+| `npm run mcp` | Start the stdio MCP adapter; requires an authorized running API. |
+| `npm run dev` | Start the live-capable backend watcher. |
+| `npm run dashboard:dev` | Start Vite, proxying API requests to port 3000. |
 
-```bash
+## Change workflow
-export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-your-key"
-export WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN="long-random-secret"
-```
 
-### 4. Account authentication
+1. Read `agents.md`, `docs/README.md`, the routed topic docs, owning source, and focused tests.
+2. Inspect `git status` before editing. Preserve unrelated user changes and do not broadly stage a dirty worktree.
+3. Establish a baseline appropriate to the change. Code-changing tasks follow the repository test-first instructions; docs-only changes use documentation/link checks.
+4. Identify the source-of-truth boundary: config schema, migration, service, shared transport contract, route, or UI feature.
+5. Implement the smallest coherent behavior using dependency injection and single-purpose modules.
+6. Add behavior-focused tests for observable inputs, outputs, state transitions, and side effects.
+7. Update every affected document and regenerate API docs when the catalog changes.
+8. Run focused tests while iterating, then full required checks before publishing.
+9. Review the exact staged diff, commit only the coherent set, push, and verify branch/remote sync.
 
-Start the app, then import a combined Reddit and Matrix session dump from the local Chrome extension under **Settings > Access**.
+## Engineering practices
 
-### 5. Start Development Server
+### Types and validation
 
-```bash
+- No production `any`; use `unknown`, Zod, discriminated unions, or type guards.
-# Terminal 1: backend reload with tsx
+- Keep database/service-private types separate from transport contracts.
-npm run dev
+- Parse at boundaries and pass trusted domain values inward.
+- Return explicit terminal/retryable/human-required results where callers must decide policy.
 
-# Terminal 2: Vite frontend with /api proxied to port 3000
+### Service design
-npm run dashboard:dev
 
-# Production build: server plus apps/dashboard/dist
+- Constructor-inject external dependencies, clocks, fetchers, schedulers, and persistence seams.
-npm run build && npm start
+- Keep process-global coordination separate from account-scoped mutable state.
-```
+- Prefer a small policy/service over another conditional in a composition root or route.
-
+- Preserve abort signals through queues, sleeps, and remote operations.
-### 6. Access Dashboard
-
-During frontend development, open the URL printed by Vite (normally
-http://localhost:5173). The Express dashboard remains on http://localhost:3000
-for production/fallback verification.
-
-Useful frontend checks:
-
-```bash
-npm run dashboard:typecheck
-npm run dashboard:build
-npx vitest run tests/dashboard
-```
-
----
-
-## Coding Standards
-
-### TypeScript
-
-- **Strict mode**: No `any` types (use `unknown` with type guards)
-- **Interfaces**: Define interfaces for all data structures
-- **Null checks**: Use optional chaining (`?.`) and nullish coalescing (`??`)
-- **Async/Await**: Use async/await, not `.then()` chains
-
-```typescript
-// Good
-interface PostData {
-  id: string;
-  subreddit: string;
-  author: string;
-}
-
-async function fetchPost(id: string): Promise<PostData> {
-  const response = await api.get(`/posts/${id}`);
-  return response.data;
-}
-
-// Bad
-async function fetchPost(id: any): Promise<any> {
-  return api.get(`/posts/${id}`).then(r => r.data);
-}
-```
 
 ### Logging
 
-Use `winston` logger, never `console.log`:
+Use the injected Winston logger. Include stage, account context (through child loggers), post/conversation IDs, and safe rejection/retry reasons. Never serialize raw Axios/Playwright errors that may include cookies or authorization headers; extract a safe message/status. Avoid high-frequency unchanged status logs.
 
-```typescript
+### Remote effects
-// Good
-this.logger.info("Processed post {id}", { id: post.id });
-this.logger.warn("AI refusal detected", { postId: post.id });
-this.logger.error("Failed to send DM", { error: err.message });
 
-// Bad
+- Check dry-run at the final side-effect boundary.
-console.log("Processed post", post.id);
+- Make retries idempotent and distinguish remote acceptance from local persistence.
-```
+- Reserve recipients/claims before sending and release only on safe failure paths.
+- Treat 403, 404, and 429 according to their typed domain meaning rather than one generic retry.
 
-### Error Handling
+## Test layout and patterns
 
-Use try/catch with structured error handling:
+Tests live in `tests/`; dashboard tests are under `tests/dashboard/`, route/event tests under `tests/web/`, and shared contract tests under `packages/api-contracts/tests/`.
 
-```typescript
+Preferred patterns:
-try {
-  await this.processPost(post);
-} catch (err) {
-  this.logger.error("Post processing failed", {
-    postId: post.id,
-    error: err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)
-  });
-  // Don't throw - allow other posts to be processed
-}
-```
 
-### Service Structure
+- in-memory SQLite with real migrations/repositories;
+- fake clock/sleep/fetch functions injected into services;
+- small service fakes implementing narrow interfaces;
+- Testing Library for user-observable React behavior;
+- representative payload parsing for strict Zod contracts;
+- lifecycle/restart tests for queues, claims, and account runtimes.
 
-Follow single responsibility:
+Avoid deleting coverage to make a suite pass, assertions that pin private call order without behavioral value, ESM namespace mocking when injection is available, or tests that read the real `.env`/production data.
 
-```typescript
+## Verification matrix
-class NewService {
-  constructor(
-    private config: Config,
-    private dependency: ExistingService,
-    private logger: Logger
-  ) {}
 
-  async doSomething(input: string): Promise<Result> {
+| Change | Minimum focused verification | Final verification |
-    // Validate input
+| --- | --- | --- |
-    if (!input) {
+| Pure backend/service | owning Vitest files | `npm test`, `npm run build:server` |
-      throw new Error("Input is required");
+| Database/migration | migration + repository tests | full tests and server build |
-    }
+| API/contract | route + contract + auth tests; regenerate docs | full tests, build, `docs:api:check` |
+| Dashboard | feature tests + typecheck | full tests and full build |
+| Docker/deployment | compose/Docker tests + image build as appropriate | health, API, container, logs, and persistence after authorized deploy |
+| Documentation only | generated-doc check + internal link scan | staged diff review |
 
-    // Do work
+If the worktree has pre-existing failures or concurrent changes, record the exact baseline and do not attribute them to your change. Never hide a failed required check behind a passing focused test.
-    const result = await this.dependency.process(input);
 
-    // Return result
+## Common implementation recipes
-    return result;
-  }
-}
-```
 
-### File Organization
+### Add an endpoint
 
-- One class per file (except repositories which share one file)
+Create or extend a focused router, validate input, add shared output contracts, register metadata in `api-catalog.ts`, add authorization/behavior tests, consume via dashboard query helpers if needed, regenerate `docs/api.md`, and update the relevant narrative doc.
-- Services in `src/services/`
-- Utilities in `src/utils/`
-- External integrations in their own folders (`src/ai/`, `src/reddit/`, `src/browser/`)
 
----
+### Add persisted state
 
-## Adding a New Service
+Append a migration, add a narrow repository, wire it through the composition root/runtime, test fresh and restart/upgrade cases, and update `database.md`.
 
-### 1. Create the Service File
+### Change candidate or reply behavior
 
-```typescript
+Start with the durable state transition and idempotency rule. Test rejection/retry/success, process interruption, account ownership, and operator-visible reason counts. Update product, flow, service, and data docs as applicable.
-// src/services/new-service.ts
-import { Config } from '../config';
-import { Logger } from '../utils/logger';
 
-interface NewServiceDeps {
+### Add dashboard state
-  config: Config;
-  logger: Logger;
-  // other dependencies
-}
 
-interface Result {
+Define the shared schema first, add a typed query/mutation, keep route/filter state in the URL where useful, invalidate snapshots from relevant SSE events, and verify loading/error/stale/accessibility states.
-  success: boolean;
-  data?: any;
-  error?: string;
-}
-
-export class NewService {
-  constructor(private deps: NewServiceDeps) {}
-
-  async execute(input: string): Promise<Result> {
-    const { config, logger } = this.deps;
-    
-    logger.info("NewService executing", { input });
-    
-    // Implementation here
-    
-    return { success: true };
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Add to Dependencies Interface
-
-If the service needs other services, add them to the interface:
-
-```typescript
-interface NewServiceDeps {
-  config: Config;
-  logger: Logger;
-  redditApi: RedditApi;
-  openrouter: OpenRouterService;
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Wire Up in main()
-
-In `src/index.ts`, add initialization:
-
-```typescript
-const newService = new NewService({
-  config,
-  logger,
-  redditApi,
-  openrouter
-});
-
-// If it needs to run periodically:
-setInterval(() => {
-  newService.execute(someInput).catch(err => {
-    logger.error("NewService error", { error: err.message });
-  });
-}, intervalMs);
-```
-
-### 4. Add to the Web API and Dashboard (Optional)
-
-If the service needs an API, add a focused router under `src/web/routes/` and
-mount it from `src/web/server.ts`. Define its transport schema in
-`packages/api-contracts`; do not expose repository rows directly.
-
-```typescript
-router.get('/new-service', async (req, res) => {
-  try {
-    const result = await newService.execute(req.query.input as string);
-    res.json(result);
-  } catch (err) {
-    res.status(500).json({ error: (err as Error).message });
-  }
-});
-```
-
-Add frontend behavior under `apps/dashboard/src/features/<feature>/` and drive
-it with Testing Library and MSW tests under `tests/dashboard/`.
-
-### 5. Update Config (If Needed)
-
-Add new configuration options to:
-- `config.yaml`
-- `src/config/index.ts` Zod schema
-- Configuration documentation
-
----
-
-## Adding a New Strategy Variant
-
-### 1. Add to config.yaml
-
-```yaml
-strategyVariants:
-  - name: "existing_variant"
-    prompt: "Existing prompt..."
-    enabled: true
-  
-  - name: "new_variant"
-    prompt: |
-      Write a friendly message that references the image content.
-      Be specific and genuine. Keep it under 2 sentences.
-    enabled: true
-```
-
-### 2. No Code Changes Needed
-
-The `StrategySelector` automatically picks up new variants from the config. The algorithm will:
-
-1. Include the new variant in random exploration
-2. Track its response rate once messages are sent
-3. Promote it to exploitation if it has good stats
-
-### 3. Monitor Performance
-
-Check performance via the dashboard or API:
-
-```bash
-curl http://localhost:3000/api/analytics/by-strategy
-```
-
----
-
-## Debugging
-
-### Account debugging
-
-Use dashboard session status and structured logs. The backend does not expose or launch an interactive login browser.
-
-### DOM Inspection
-
-Use the debug endpoint to inspect Reddit's shadow DOM:
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/debug/inspect-dom
-```
-
-Or run the standalone script:
-
-```bash
-npx tsx scripts/inspect-chat-dom.ts
-```
-
-### Logging
-
-Adjust log level by modifying `src/utils/logger.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-const logger = winston.createLogger({
-  level: 'debug',  // Change from 'info' to 'debug'
-  // ...
-});
-```
-
-### Database Inspection
-
-Open the database with SQLite viewer:
-
-```bash
-# Install sqlite3 if needed
-brew install sqlite3
-
-# Open database
-sqlite3 data/reddit-bot.db
-
-# Query
-SELECT * FROM sent_messages LIMIT 5;
-```
-
-### Network Debugging
-
-Enable axios debug:
-
-```typescript
-// In src/reddit/api.ts
-import axios from 'axios';
-axios.defaults.debug = true;
-```
-
----
-
-## Common Tasks
-
-### Add a New Subreddit
-
-```yaml
-# config.yaml
-reddit:
-  subreddits:
-    - gonewild
-    - ratemyboobs
-    - new_subreddit_name  # Add here
-```
-
-### Change AI Model
-
-```yaml
-# config.yaml
-openrouter:
-  model: "new-model-name"
-  fallbackModels:
-    - "fallback-model-1"
-    - "fallback-model-2"
-```
-
-### Adjust Rate Limits
-
-```yaml
-# config.yaml
-rateLimit:
-  minDelayMs: 45000      # Increase delay
-  maxMessagesPerHour: 15  # Reduce cap
-  jitterMs: 20000        # More jitter
-```
-
-### Enable Dry Run
-
-```yaml
-# config.yaml
-dryRun: true  # Logs all actions without sending
-```
-
-Or via dashboard: `PUT /api/config` with `{"dryRun": true}`
-
-### Add Database Column
-
-```typescript
-// In src/database/client.ts
-function runMigrations(db: Database) {
-  // ... existing migrations ...
-
-  // Check if column exists
-  const tableInfo = db.prepare(`PRAGMA table_info(sent_messages)`).all();
-  const hasNewColumn = tableInfo.some((col: any) => col.name === 'new_column');
-
-  if (!hasNewColumn) {
-    db.exec("ALTER TABLE sent_messages ADD COLUMN new_column TEXT");
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Add New API Endpoint
-
-```typescript
-// In src/web/server.ts
-import { Request, Response } from 'express';
-
-server.app.get('/api/new-endpoint', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
-  try {
-    const result = await someService.doSomething();
-    res.json({ success: true, data: result });
-  } catch (err) {
-    res.status(500).json({ error: (err as Error).message });
-  }
-});
-```
-
----
-
-## Known Issues
-
-### Hardcoded Username in ChatService
-
-`ChatService` has `myUsername = 'Upset_Marsupial1006'` hardcoded in JavaScript evaluation scripts. This should be parameterized from config.
-
-**Fix needed**: Pass username to `page.evaluate()` calls.
-
-### Shadow DOM Fragility
-
-Reddit frequently updates their `faceplate-*` components. Shadow DOM traversal code may break without warning.
-
-**Mitigation**: Use `scripts/inspect-chat-dom.ts` to debug when selectors change.
-
-### Dashboard Migration Boundary
-
-The React application lives in `apps/dashboard`. A production build is required
-before the Express server starts; there is no legacy HTML fallback.
-
-The repository has automated service, contract, component, and transport tests.
-Manual browser verification is still required for Reddit DOM changes and the
-final dashboard cutover.

-# React Dashboard Migration
-
-## Outcome
-
-The inline dashboard has been replaced by a typed, accessible React application.
-Express remains the authenticated API, SSE, private-media, and production
-static-asset host.
-
-## Current status
-
-The current routes are Overview, Conversations (including route-addressable
-detail), Media, Performance, Operations, and validated Settings and Access.
-Shared HTTP and realtime schemas live in `packages/api-contracts`, and
-`/api/events/stream` supplies the typed SSE transport.
-
-`npm run build` compiles the server and writes the Vite application to
-`apps/dashboard/dist`. `src/web/dashboard-assets.ts` requires that build and
-fails startup with an actionable error if it is absent. The legacy HTML has
-been removed. Root pages, assets, APIs, SSE, and private media share the same
-timing-safe dashboard authentication boundary.
-
-## Architecture
-
-- `apps/dashboard`: React, TypeScript, Vite, React Router, and TanStack Query.
-- `packages/api-contracts`: shared Zod schemas for HTTP and realtime transport.
-- `src/web`: existing Express host, gradually adapted to the shared contracts.
-- Backend service and database types stay private to the backend. Transport
-  contracts must not expose database rows as an accidental public API.
-- Server state lives in TanStack Query. Route, filter, and selection state lives
-  in URLs. Local component state is reserved for ephemeral presentation state.
-- Do not add a global client-state library until a demonstrated cross-feature
-  state requirement cannot be met by those boundaries.
-
-## Navigation
-
-The application shell provides a responsive sidebar or drawer with these routes:
-
-| Route | Responsibility |
-| --- | --- |
-| `/` | Health, metrics, timers, limits, and important recent activity |
-| `/conversations` | Searchable conversation inbox |
-| `/conversations/:id` | Conversation history, context, suggestions, and sending |
-| `/media` | Private blurred-by-default gallery and sync controls |
-| `/performance` | Trends, strategies, subreddits, and successful examples |
-| `/operations` | Domain activity, background jobs, and diagnostics |
-| `/settings` | Validated runtime configuration and Reddit access state |
-
-Overview surfaces bot state, dry-run state, cooldowns, timers, and the guarded
-start/stop control. Operations owns connection health, sync state, activity,
-and the bounded technical console.
-
-## Realtime model
-
-HTTP snapshots are authoritative. A typed SSE event stream updates or invalidates
-the relevant query cache. Every event has an ID, type, occurrence timestamp, and
-validated payload. The stream supports bounded replay and `Last-Event-ID` resume.
-Relevant events invalidate TanStack Query keys so the next HTTP read remains
-authoritative. Connection loss marks cached state stale while `EventSource`
-reconnects.
-
-Required event families are bot status, message sent or failed, conversation
-updated, reply received, sync lifecycle and progress, rate-limit state, Reddit
-session state, and technical logs.
-
-Important domain events appear in a readable activity timeline. Raw logs remain
-in Operations. Toasts are reserved for user-triggered outcomes requiring timely
-feedback. Realtime disconnection never blanks cached content; it marks it stale
-and falls back to visibility-aware polling where necessary.
-
-## Feature slices
-
-1. Capture and validate existing HTTP contracts and critical legacy journeys.
-2. Add the frontend build, application shell, authentication handling, routing,
-   error boundaries, design tokens, query client, and test harness.
-3. Deliver Overview as the first production vertical slice.
-4. Add the typed realtime event core, SSE transport, reconnection, and query
-   invalidation.
-5. Migrate Conversations, including explicit suggestion and send mutations.
-6. Migrate Media, preserving authentication and blur-by-default privacy.
-7. Migrate Performance with sample sizes and low-confidence warnings.
-8. Migrate Operations, access/login, and route-backed validated Settings.
-9. Run feature parity and security audits, switch Express to the Vite output,
-   remove the legacy HTML, and update operator and deployment documentation.
-
-All slices now run from the React application; the migration phases above are
-retained as implementation history.
-
-## Engineering gates
-
-- New behavior follows red-green-refactor with Vitest.
-- Component tests use Testing Library and test observable behavior.
-- HTTP tests use a controlled boundary such as MSW rather than mocking `fetch`
-  throughout feature tests.
-- Contract tests prove representative current responses parse and malformed
-  payloads fail.
-- Realtime tests cover ordering, replay, duplicate handling, reconnection, and
-  cache repair.
-- Browser tests cover authentication, start/stop, conversation inspection,
-  sending confirmation, sync, settings persistence, and private media.
-- Interactive controls are keyboard accessible and restore focus after dialogs.
-- No production frontend or backend code uses `any` or `console.log`.
-- Mutations display the confirmed server outcome and do not rely on optimistic
-  success for operational controls.
-- Production builds are deterministic. The server serves only generated React
-  assets plus authenticated private content.
-
-## Cutover evidence
-
-Cutover verification covers API and SSE authentication, private media access,
-SSE recovery, responsive navigation, frontend type-check/build, backend build,

+# Dashboard architecture
+
+## Stack and boundary
+
+The operator console is a React 19 + TypeScript + Vite application under `apps/dashboard`. Express serves its production build, private media, API, authentication endpoints, and SSE streams from the same origin. TanStack Query owns server state; React Router owns navigation and route-addressable state.
+
+Shared HTTP/SSE schemas live in `packages/api-contracts`. The server and client should not duplicate transport interfaces by hand.
+
+## Routes
+
+| Route | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/` | Health, per-account delivery/cooldown state, timers, workload, and recent activity. |
+| `/attention` | Human handoffs, delivery failures, account risks, and other actionable items. |
+| `/outreach` | Durable candidate funnel and active candidate detail. |
+| `/conversations` | Searchable account-aware conversation inbox. |
+| `/conversations/:conversationId` | Conversation history, context, suggestions, and guarded sending. |
+| `/media` | Authenticated, privacy-conscious media gallery and sync controls. |
+| `/media-library` | Upload, classify, correct, enable, preview, and delete shared exchange images. |
+| `/performance` | Mature outcome trends, strategy/subreddit results, and model usage. |
+| `/operations` | Background jobs, sync state, events, rate limits, and technical logs. |
+| `/growth` | Per-account comment growth: switch, communities with daily caps, adaptive allowance, and the posted-comment audit trail. |
+| `/settings` | Validated runtime configuration and account/session management. |
+
+Navigation is declared in `app/navigation.ts`; route elements are composed in `app/router.tsx`.
+
+The account-growth page states plainly that comments are AI-written and posted without review, shows the adaptive allowance and trust level rather than a settable rate, and surfaces every posted comment's exact text alongside its score and removal state. A paused account replaces the pause control with a resume control and explains why it stopped, because resuming is the one action that can compound the damage.
+
+The Monitoring settings section owns the optional physique-targeting toggle and inclusive 1–10 range. It explains that the signal is subjective, applies only to image posts, and screens out unscorable images while enabled.
+
+Prepared cards in the authenticated outreach funnel expose the exact opener, grounded image analysis, attractiveness and physique scores, current target range, detected gender, strategy/tone/model metadata, and original source image. The live range is returned through the existing preparation field so cached dashboard bundles remain compatible during a rolling deployment. The durable queue still owns the historical preparation snapshot used for reconciliation. The source image uses the shared `OriginPostCard` privacy behavior: blurred initially, first click reveals it, and a later click opens the full-screen preview. Candidates from older persisted snapshots degrade cleanly when newer optional metadata is absent.
+
+## State model
+
+- Remote state: TanStack Query snapshots parsed by shared Zod schemas.
+- Route/filter/selection state: URL/search params when it should survive navigation or be shareable.
+- Ephemeral UI state: component/provider state, such as dialogs and notification presentation.
+- Persistent presentation state: guarded browser storage only when explicitly useful (for example notification history).
+
+Do not introduce a general global state store unless a demonstrated cross-feature need cannot fit these boundaries.
+
+## HTTP and contracts
+
+`api/request.ts` owns authenticated request mechanics and failure conversion. `api/client.ts`/`api/queries.ts` expose typed calls and query keys. Parse every response at the boundary. Strict schemas are deliberate: when the server adds a field, update the shared contract and its consumers in the same change.
+
+Mutations should display the confirmed server result. Start/stop, config, sync, import, and send actions must not use optimistic success for operational state.
+
+Account delivery state is reported per runtime (`ready`, stopped/failed/login-required, Matrix cooldown, replies prioritized, or pacing). Preserve account attribution when presenting cooldowns and failures; a blocked account does not imply every account is blocked.
+
+## Realtime model
+
+`RealtimeProvider` connects to `/api/events/stream`. Event IDs support bounded replay/resume. Each event family either updates a narrowly safe cache value or invalidates the relevant HTTP snapshot. Reconnect and stale detection live in the app layer, not individual feature pages.
+
+Rules:
+
+- HTTP remains authoritative.
+- Duplicate/replayed events must be harmless.
+- A disconnected stream marks data stale but does not blank useful cached content.
+- Invalid event payloads are contained and repaired with a snapshot refresh.
+- User-triggered outcomes may create toasts; durable/history-worthy events also appear in the notification center/activity views.
+- Raw technical logs belong in Operations, not as general user notifications.
+
+## Authentication and privacy
+
+The login form exchanges the administrator token for an HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict cookie. API clients may use Bearer tokens. Express applies auth before static dashboard assets, APIs, SSE, and `/media`; `/healthz` is the intentional public exception.
+
+Media may be private conversation content. Preserve authenticated URLs, blur/privacy defaults, explicit reveal behavior, safe new-tab links, and no token leakage into query strings or local storage. A conversation's source-post thumbnail becomes a keyboard-accessible full-screen preview only after the operator reveals it; the preview closes by button, backdrop, or Escape and restores focus to its trigger.
+
+Exchange-library uploads require an explicit consent checkbox before the raw image request is enabled. Previews remain blurred by default. The management card exposes AI tags, safety level, confidence/review state, enablement, and a two-step delete action. Its progression rail mirrors the actual nonspecific-request selection tiers rather than implying that explicit anatomy requests follow the same sequence.
+
+Conversation reply composers include a collapsed saved-image picker. It lists only server-approved assets for the latest inbound request, keeps thumbnails blurred until revealed, and requires selection plus a dedicated confirmation dialog before sending. The server remains authoritative and may reject a choice if the conversation changes before the rate-limited send executes.
+
+The conversation inbox has a system-derived **Account deleted** bucket alongside the operator-maintained open, snoozed, and done queues. A deleted recipient is excluded from the default, unread, needs-reply, waiting, manual, and image buckets and is labelled in both the list and detail views. Suspended profiles are not treated as deleted.
+
+## Feature structure
+
+Each route is a slice under `features/<name>/` with page/route components, local styles, and feature-specific helpers. Cross-feature visual/domain components live under `components/`; application lifecycle belongs under `app/`; transport belongs under `api/`.
+
+Keep feature components focused:
+
+- pages compose queries and sections;
+- presentational components render typed props;
+- mutation hooks own cache invalidation;
+- parsing/formatting lives in small pure helpers;
+- destructive or external-message actions require explicit confirmation and accessible focus restoration.
+
+## Accessibility and presentation
+
+- All actions must be keyboard accessible and have visible focus.
+- Dialogs label purpose, trap/restore focus, and distinguish cancel from destructive confirmation.
+- Status must not rely on color alone.
+- Relative times include an exact timestamp where operationally useful.
+- Lists are explicitly sorted after filters rather than relying on backend/incidental order.
+- Loading, empty, stale, partial, and error states are distinct.
+- Show sample sizes and low-confidence context for performance metrics.
+
+## Testing
+
+Dashboard behavior is tested with Vitest, jsdom, Testing Library, and controlled HTTP boundaries. Focus on observable behavior:
+
+- representative payloads parse and malformed payloads fail;
+- route/search state and navigation;
+- loading/error/empty/stale views;
+- mutation confirmation and server read-back;
+- SSE ordering, replay, reconnect, duplicate handling, and snapshot repair;
+- authentication/private media boundaries;
+- keyboard/focus behavior for dialogs and controls.
+
+Run focused `npx vitest run tests/dashboard/<file>`, then `npm run dashboard:typecheck`, `npm run dashboard:build`, and the full suite before publishing a frontend change.
+
+## Adding a dashboard capability
+
+1. Define/extend the shared Zod contract.
+2. Make the server route return that contract and add a route test.
+3. Add a typed client/query key.
+4. Build the feature slice and observable UI states.
+5. Map relevant realtime events to cache updates/invalidations.
+6. Add component/realtime/contract coverage.
+7. Update `api.md` when the operation catalog changed and update this or the relevant product/flow document.

+# Product goals and safety boundaries
+
+## Product purpose
+
+RedditBot helps an operator discover suitable adult Reddit users who have explicitly posted in configured communities, start relevant conversations, prioritize existing replies, and learn which outreach approaches lead to genuine engagement. It is an operator-controlled system, not an unconstrained bulk messenger.
+
+The product has five connected goals:
+
+1. Find candidates from explicitly configured subreddits.
+2. Reject unsuitable candidates before expensive AI work or any send.
+3. Coordinate multiple accounts without contacting the same person repeatedly.
+4. Continue conversations only within configured, bounded automation policies.
+5. Make every material decision and outcome visible to the operator.
+
+## What good behavior looks like
+
+- Eligibility is completed before selecting a recipient: already-processed posts, recipient history, self-declared age/gender for chat posts, seller signals, content suitability, and AI safety all have explicit outcomes.
+- Existing replies take priority over new outreach. An account with actionable inbound messages is not available for a new candidate.
+- Candidate inventory follows near-term outbound capacity and the recent-post window; discovery pauses instead of accumulating an ever-older backlog when accounts cannot keep pace.
+- Discovery is global while authentication, rate limits, conversations, and content remain account-owned.
+- Recipient deduplication is case-insensitive, durable across restarts, and protected by a live reservation during sends.
+- Remote side effects are fail-closed: a send is recorded only after the chat service confirms it; interrupted reply claims reconcile against Matrix history before retrying. A queued reply refreshes Matrix immediately before sending and becomes an auditable superseded claim if a newer inbound event or terminal state appeared while it waited.
+- Dry-run prepares and records decisions but never sends.
+- Operators can see funnel stages, prepared opener and scoring context, blurred source images, account state, rate limits, failures, handoffs, and recent activity rather than inferring success from a process-health check.
+
+## Candidate policy
+
+Configured subreddits have a source type:
+
+- `image`: image-led posts are downloaded and analyzed before an opener is generated.
+- `chat`: text-led posts require a parseable self-declared gender and adult age, then use the chat-opener prompt.
+
+Image analysis may produce a subjective 1–10 visible-physique score. It is not a medical assessment and remains unknown when the image does not show enough of the body for a grounded judgment. The scale is deliberately critical: 5 is broadly average, 6 requires visible above-average leanness or definition, and 8–10 are reserved for rare athletic or model-like physiques. Nudity and photographic presentation do not increase the score. Physique targeting is disabled by default. When an operator enables an inclusive minimum/maximum range, image candidates outside that range—and unscorable image candidates—are rejected before opener generation; chat candidates are unaffected.
+
+Seller filtering combines the candidate post with Reddit profile/about, structured social links when Reddit exposes them, and recent activity evidence. Because Reddit's legacy profile response can omit a social-link button that is visible in its UI, an NSFW bio is also rejected when it combines an explicit link call-to-action with a promise of more or exclusive personal content. The default policy treats Telegram names and links as seller signals alongside paid-content platforms and payment prompts. The configured keyword/domain lists are policy inputs, not a substitute for the surrounding screening flow. A profile lookup failure is not itself proof that a person is a seller; network and rate-limit failures must remain distinguishable from a rejection.
+
+The system must not manufacture personal facts. Generated messages must not claim shared location or proximity, invite an in-person meeting, invent identity/history, or ignore a conversation boundary. The final outbound safety check is intentionally separate from prompt wording.
+
+## Conversation policy modes
+
+Each subreddit snapshots a policy into a conversation when automation first handles it:
+
+| Mode | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `manual` | Never auto-reply; surface a human handoff. |
+| `legacy` | At most one optional autonomous media request, counting a request already present in the opener, followed by human handoff. |
+| `r4r` | Bounded rapport-style replies with autonomous safety checks. |
+| `r4r-media` | Rapport first, one bounded media ask, then a handoff/terminal boundary. |
+
+The snapshot matters: changing configuration later must not silently rewrite the rules for an active conversation. Automation stops for seller/upsell evidence, an image received, a detected boundary, unsafe content, an exhausted turn budget, a repeated media request, or a manual policy.
+
+Two of those stops are terminal rather than handoffs. A reply that pushes the conversation onto another messaging app, asks for contact details, solicits payment, points at a paid-content funnel, or runs the age/bot "verification" scam sets the automation status to `killed`, marks the durable seller flag, and resolves the operator's triage state, so the conversation leaves every actionable queue instead of collecting in the manual one. Detection normalizes the text first — unicode folding, zero-width stripping, leet mapping, separator removal — because these words are routinely obfuscated (`0nlyfans`, `t3l3gram`, `t e l e g r a m`). Ambiguous terms need context: `snap` on its own is a photo request in this product and never a kill on its own. Off-platform kills are a safety control and stay on independently of `reddit.filterSellers`; a configured seller keyword or domain also kills unless `conversations.killOnSellerKeyword` is disabled. Under-18 disclosures and in-person/contact-detail asks remain human handoffs, and now apply to every policy mode rather than the R4R ones only.
+
+Optional second-stage AI screening (`conversations.aiReplyScreening`) runs only when the deterministic rules come up clean, classifies the inbound side of the conversation as genuine, seller, off-platform, scam, bot, or unclear, and kills at or above `killConfidence` while handing off at or above `flagConfidence`. It fails open: a classifier error or outage never blocks a reply, and each inbound event is screened at most once per process. Short refusals are interpreted in sequence: phrases such as “I’m good” become media boundaries only when they answer a media request.
+
+## Account growth policy
+
+A new Reddit account cannot start chats until Reddit considers it established. Account growth addresses that by posting a small number of AI-written comments on active threads in an operator-chosen list of communities, per account.
+
+This is inauthentic account activity under Reddit's content policy, and many subreddits prohibit it independently. The realistic failure mode is not a warning but silent filtering, followed by a ban that would also destroy the established accounts alongside it. The controls therefore exist to keep volume low and to detect suppression early, not merely to satisfy a prompt:
+
+- Disabled by default, per account, and never inferred from any other setting.
+- Comments post without operator review, so both screening stages fail closed. The deterministic gate rejects links, contact solicitation, user tags, low-effort filler, and any text that reveals the generator or narrates the task. The second-stage classifier must actively approve with sufficient confidence; an outage stalls growth rather than publishing unreviewed text.
+- Thread text is attacker-controlled and is passed to the model only as fenced untrusted data. Reddit posts do contain text aimed at automated readers.
+- The daily allowance is adaptive, not configured: it starts at two comments per day and only rises while comments demonstrably survive and earn upvotes. A removal or a heavily downvoted comment lowers it immediately.
+- Two consecutive removals, a comment invisible to signed-out visitors, or a captcha challenge pauses the account until an operator clears it. A failed visibility probe proves nothing and never pauses anything.
+- One comment per thread across every owned account, a per-community daily cap, quiet hours, and jittered spacing.
+- Reddit's own refusals are authoritative: a community ban disables that community for that account, a throttle backs off at the scope Reddit named, and a signed-out response invalidates the session rather than being retried.
+- Growth deliberately continues while an account is held out of outbound messaging, because building the history is what lifts that hold. It is always the lowest-priority work an account performs, after inbound replies.
+- Dry run prepares and records a comment but never posts it. Every posted comment, and every comment refused by either gate, is kept with its reason in the growth audit trail.
+
+## Operator exchange media
+
+The exchange library contains only operator-uploaded images. Upload requires confirmation that every depicted adult consented to storage and bot delivery. Received conversation media is account-owned evidence and can never be promoted into this shared library.
+
+The bot may continue to ask another person for an optional photo under the configured conversation policy, but it must never mention, advertise, or offer an exchange-library image proactively. A library send requires a direct or indirect inbound image request. Exact anatomy requests match the operator-reviewed tags `penis`, `chest`, `selfie`, `topless`, or `feet`; the bot does not substitute a different anatomy when a match is unavailable.
+
+Nonspecific requests broaden progressively within one conversation. The first selects a random unused SFW asset, a later request may include topless/NSFW assets, and further requests may select from the full library. An asset is never selected twice in the same conversation, including after an uncertain send. After Matrix confirms the image event, the bot asks the other person to reciprocate without pressure. Missing inventory, failed delivery, changed conversation state, or an unconfirmed reciprocal message becomes an operator handoff.
+
+Reddit candidate eligibility remains the product's adult-entry assumption; this feature adds no separate verification workflow. Existing deterministic underage disclosures and conversation boundaries still stop automation before a library send.
+
+The conversation dashboard may let an operator choose the specific library asset, but it does not waive these rules. The picker exposes only enabled, unused assets that match the latest inbound request and its current safety tier. A manual choice is revalidated after rate-limit waiting, requires explicit send confirmation, and moves the conversation to operator-owned state after a confirmed delivery.
+
+## Success and analytics
+
+Do not collapse all progress into “messages sent.” Useful states include:
+
+- candidates discovered, screened, ready, leased, retrying, rejected, expired, and sent;
+- sends awaiting a mature response window versus mature sends;
+- replies, declined/boundary/upsell outcomes, and images received;
+- model usage, fallback behavior, strategy/sample size, and account ownership.
+
+Learning examples mature only after the conversation policy is no longer active. Full recipient history is reclassified on sync; a later decline or boundary overrides earlier reciprocal activity and removes any previously promoted example.
+
+Fetched listing size is not an eligibility count. Logs and UI should quantify rejection and deferral reasons so a dry funnel can be diagnosed without guessing.
+
+## Operational authority
+
+The following require explicit user authorization because they can affect real accounts or production state:
+
+- starting or resuming bot processing;
+- sending a message or triggering a send-capable workflow;
+- importing/replacing account sessions;
+- restarting or deploying the production service;
+- changing live configuration;
+- deleting/resetting databases, volumes, media, or account state.
+
+Read-only inspection, builds, tests, and documentation work do not grant any of those permissions. If a request is only diagnostic, inspect and explain before editing or operating.
+
+## Privacy and secrets
+
+Treat these as sensitive: `.env`, Reddit cookies, exported session JSON, Matrix access tokens, dashboard/agent tokens, the SQLite database, browser profiles, conversation text, usernames, received private media, operator exchange media, and logs that may contain request metadata.
+
+Never commit or reproduce them in documentation, fixtures, logs, issue text, or tool output. Prefer redacted structural evidence. Production backups contain account and private conversation data and need the same protection as the live volume.
