Jamie BruntonandClaude Opus 5 725b5fc4e6 feat: application-level read state and inbox triage for conversations
Conversations were hard to manage because "unread" came straight from
Matrix's notification_count, and nothing in the app ever sends a read
receipt — so opening a conversation in the dashboard could never clear it
and the unread set only ever grew. The list also collapsed three
orthogonal facts into one word, labelling "they spoke last and we have
not replied" as "Up to date".

Read state is now ours:

- conversation_read_state table (migration 19) plus
  ConversationReadStateRepository, kept separate from conversation_states
  so a read write can never be lost to mergeConversationState. The
  watermark is monotonic, so a stale poll cannot resurrect an unread
  badge.
- hasUnreadInbound and needsReply are derived server-side and returned on
  every conversation. Matrix's `unread` stays on the contract but the
  dashboard no longer reads it.
- POST /conversations/{id}/read|unread|status and
  POST /conversations/bulk-read, with optimistic cache updates.

Inbox rework:

- List rows are a real grid (checkbox, open button, chip strip) instead of
  a full-bleed absolute overlay button, which previously forced a
  pointer-events escape hatch for anything interactive in a row. Rows use
  aria-current rather than aria-pressed. Not a listbox: options must not
  contain interactive descendants.
- Counted filter pills replace the select, independent state chips replace
  the collapsed status word, plus a sort control (including oldest
  unanswered), a per-account filter, age-coloured timestamps, and an
  explicit count of rows hidden by the seller filter.
- Keyboard: j/k/arrows, Enter, u, e, / and Escape. Shortcuts yield to any
  open dialog so Escape dismisses the modal, not the conversation behind
  it. Multi-select with bulk mark-read and mark-done.
- Detail panel: auto-mark-read on open, a "New messages" divider pinned at
  mount (deriving it from the live watermark made it vanish a second after
  opening), triage actions in the header, the automation banner moved out
  of the composer, day dividers with time-only stamps, and a flex column
  so history scrolls in its own region instead of painting over the
  composer.
- Row order freezes while a conversation is open, with a "N new — refresh"
  pill, so a background poll cannot reorder rows mid-triage.

Two database tests rewound user_version by an offset from the latest
version, which silently re-targets a different migration whenever one is
appended. They now pin absolute versions.

RedditBot API

This file is generated from src/web/api-catalog.ts. Run npm run docs:api after changing the HTTP surface. The live OpenAPI 3.1 document is available at GET /api/openapi.json, and compact agent discovery is available at GET /api/v1/capabilities.

Authentication

The dashboard token is an administrator credential. Browser users can exchange it for an HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict session; API clients can send it as a bearer token.

Optional least-privilege bearer credentials are configured with:

  • REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_READ_TOKEN: GET, HEAD, SSE, and private-media reads except debug routes.
  • REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_CONTROL_TOKEN: read access plus mutations under /api/v1.

Control credentials cannot send messages, import sessions, activate accounts, or update legacy configuration endpoints. Those operations require the administrator dashboard token.

Agent entry points

  • GET /healthz: unauthenticated process liveness with no private state.
  • GET /api/v1/readyz: component readiness and authentication degradation.
  • GET /api/v1/overview: bot, account, sync, rate-limit, and recent-error snapshot.
  • GET /api/v1/control: current running state.
  • POST /api/v1/control/start, /stop, or POST /api/v1/control: explicit bot control.
  • POST /api/v1/jobs: tracked chat/media sync; poll GET /api/v1/jobs/:id.
  • GET /api/events/stream: replayable typed SSE events.

MCP server

Run the stdio MCP adapter with npm run mcp. It connects to REDDIT_BOT_API_URL (default http://127.0.0.1:3000) and reads its bearer credential from REDDIT_BOT_AGENT_TOKEN, then the scoped agent variables, and finally WEB_DASHBOARD_TOKEN.

Read tools cover overview, readiness, accounts, activity, conversations, errors, sync state, and performance. Control tools include start_bot, stop_bot, set_bot_running, trigger_sync, and get_job. External message tools are separately annotated as destructive/non-idempotent and need an administrator credential.

Error model

Errors use JSON with an error string and optional detail. Authentication failures are 401; recognized but insufficient agent credentials receive 403; invalid inputs receive 400; unavailable services receive 503. Long-running agent jobs expose failure text in the job resource.
