- Add -local flag: web/RSS-only mode that skips Matrix login and posting,
so the web UI can be exercised against live feeds without credentials
- Add Makefile (build/local/seed/test/clean) that handles Tailwind +
go build in one shot
- Fix Guardian thumbnails: NormalizeImageURL was rewriting width=1200
onto signed i.guim.co.uk URLs, invalidating the s= signature and
returning 401. Leave signed URLs alone and pick the widest
media:content variant up front instead
- Use pete.avif as the header logo, favicon, and footer mark; drop the
unused leaf.svg
Pete moves to a remote host without Ollama access. Every source must
declare a direct_route channel; the classifier, explainer, semantic
dedup, !explain summaries, feed_hint, and the recent_headlines /
classification_log tables are gone. Deterministic dedup (canonical URL,
headline_norm, per-channel cooldown) remains.
Serves Pete's classified-story archive over HTTP alongside the Matrix
bot. Three sections (gaming/tech/politics), Animal-Crossing-vibe Tailwind
templates, day/night palette driven by the visitor's browser clock.
Web port configurable via web.listen_addr and ${PETE_WEB_PORT} in
docker-compose. Tailwind built in a node stage in the Dockerfile so
deployments don't need node at runtime.
Source-keyed rotation skewed toward whichever channel had the most
feeds (4 of 7 sources routed to politics, so politics dominated the
rotation). Channel-keyed rotation guarantees variety regardless of
feed counts.
Schema: round_robin_state.last_source -> last_channel, added via
addColumnIfMissing so existing DBs migrate in place.
- !post falls back to newest unposted story for the channel when the
in-memory queue is empty (the steady state under round-robin).
- Accept ❓️/❔️ (U+FE0F variation selector) as question reactions —
the bare codepoints alone missed clients that render the colored emoji.
- Rewrite Guardian i.guim.co.uk thumbnails to width=1200 so we stop
rejecting real images as "tracking pixels"; relabel the size warning.
- Log decrypt failures and reactions on events not in post_log so future
silent drops surface instead of vanishing.
Typed in a configured channel room, !post pops the head of that channel's
queue and sends immediately, bypassing min-interval, burst cap, and daily
cap. Canonical-URL dedup still applies. Empty queue gets a threaded reply.
One story per interval_hours (default 4), cycling through enabled sources
in config order. Empty sources are skipped and the pointer advances to
whichever source actually posted. State persists across restarts.
Duplicate-flagged stories now get a _duplicate sentinel channel so they
stay out of the rotation pool alongside _discarded.
OllamaClient.Generate/GenerateText/call now take ctx and build the HTTP
request via NewRequestWithContext, so an in-flight LLM call is aborted
when the parent context is cancelled (Ctrl-C). Classifier.Classify and
its tier helpers take ctx too. ProcessFunc gets a ctx parameter so the
poller can forward its cancellable context down to classification.
Explainer.summarize manages its own 60s context since reaction-driven
flow has no parent ctx to inherit.
Four related fixes after Pete flooded a channel and ignored Ctrl-C:
1. Global daily cap (posting.daily_cap_total, default 5): hard ceiling on
posts across ALL channels in a rolling 24h window. Checked before the
per-channel min-interval and burst-cap.
2. Shutdown no longer flushes the queue. Previous drainAll posted every
remaining item with rate limits disabled — which was literally the
flood. Replaced with dropOnShutdown that clears queues and logs
the count.
3. Poller respects ctx mid-loop. pollOnceWithErr now takes ctx and bails
between items, so Ctrl-C doesn't have to wait for ~30s of network
per pending story before shutdown can complete.
4. Double-image fix. PostStory now reports imageSent; the queue clears
ImageURL before retry so a text-send failure after a successful
image upload doesn't re-post the image.
When a user reacts ❓ on one of Pete's posts, fetch the article body,
ask Ollama for a 3-bullet summary, and post it as a threaded reply
rooted at the original story event. Per-process cooldown of 5min per
story keeps repeated reactions from re-summarizing.
- ingestion.FetchArticleBody: visible <p> text capped at 8000 chars
- classifier.OllamaClient.GenerateText: non-JSON variant
- storage.GetStoryByGUID: full row lookup
- matrix.PostThreadedReply: m.thread + m.in_reply_to fallback
- poster.SetReactionCallback: optional hook fired after recording
- New package: internal/explainer
