## Database Schema

### observer_messages
```sql
CREATE TABLE observer_messages (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    telegram_message_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    telegram_chat_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    sender_id INTEGER,
    sender_name TEXT,
    message_text TEXT,
    message_type TEXT DEFAULT 'text',
    has_photo INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    has_document INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    file_id TEXT,
    reply_to_message_id INTEGER,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    logged_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    metadata TEXT
);
```

### observer_stats
```sql
CREATE TABLE observer_stats (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    date TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    total_messages INTEGER DEFAULT 0,

## Bot Commands

| Command | Description | Week 0.5 Status |
|---------|-------------|-----------------|
| `/status` | View observation statistics | ✅ Active |
| `/shadow_mode` | Preview what bot would say | 🚫 Disabled (Week 1) |
| `/tripwire_stats` | View trigger patterns | 🚫 Disabled (Week 1) |

---

## Security

- **Bot Token:** Stored in `.env.staging` (never committed to git)
- **Database:** Isolated staging database at `/home/hoffmann_admin/.openclaw/data/blog-staging/blog.db`
- **Group:** Separate from production family group
- **Data:** All test data (Miller family context)
- **Constraint:** Bot NEVER connects to production database

---

## Starting the Bot

```bash
# Start staging server (includes observer bot)
cd /home/hoffmann_admin/.openclaw/workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api
./staging-start.sh

# Verify bot is running
python3 observer/verify.py
```

---

## Week 0.5 Schedule

| Week | Phase | Bot Behavior |
|------|-------|--------------|
| **0.5** | **Baseline** | **SILENT** - Log only, build pattern dataset |
| 1 | Shadow | Log + shadow responses, no public replies |
| 2 | Tripwire | Respond only to configured triggers |
| 3+ | Full | Natural response with tripwire safeguards |

---

## Manual Testing

Once the bot is in the group:

1. **Send /status** - Bot should reply with statistics
2. **Send regular messages** - Should be silently logged
3. **Send photos** - File ID and caption should be logged
4. **Send documents** - File ID and type should be logged

Verify with:
```bash
python3 observer/verify.py
```

## Next Steps (For Matt)

1. Add @IcarusStagingBot to "Family Logistics (Staging)" group
2. Make the bot an admin (required to read all messages)
3. Start the staging server: `./staging-start.sh`
4. Test: Send `/status` in the group
5. Verify messages are being logged in the database
