prosolis	b1e6937c0c	digest: report the day the player actually played The morning digest looked up log entries by e.CurrentDay - 1, which assumed the day rollover happens in deliverBriefing. That only holds for legacy UTC-anchored runs; event-anchored expeditions roll current_day at night camp, so by 06:00 CurrentDay is already the day that is starting and the digest reported a near-empty day. Window on the last briefing timestamp instead, which also covers nights the autopilot never camped. Also count real rooms out of the auto-walk summary instead of counting ticks, and only emit the site footer when the Pete seam is on, since the roster push is what creates the page the link points at.	2026-07-26 21:00:12 -07:00
prosolis	ae5e10435a	expedition: cut the DM drip to one message a day Adventure's web feed now carries a live per-room run log, so the bot no longer narrates every beat into Matrix. The three per-player DM sources that fired on a clock collapse into the 06:00 briefing: - ambient events (6h cooldown, up to ~3/day) - the 21:00 recap - the autopilot's Night-camp end-of-day digest Only the messaging goes quiet. Every mechanical effect still fires on exactly the schedule it always did: ambient still applies its ±SU and threat nudges, the recap still runs the night wandering check and its threat bump, the night camp still burns supply and rolls the day. Each now writes its outcome to the expedition log and stops there, and the next morning's briefing reads that log back as a "Since yesterday" block -- walks collapsed to a count, frame and narration types skipped, capped with an explicit overflow note so a truncated digest never reads as a complete one. The briefing carries the reader's own /adventure/who/{token} link, reusing the salted one-way roster token the board already publishes, so a DM link and a board link resolve to one page and neither leaks a Matrix handle. PETE_PUBLIC_URL overrides the default; it is deliberately not PETE_INGEST_URL, which is Headscale-only and unreachable from a player's phone. N1/A6's digest-anchored mid-day event roll moved to deliverBriefing along with the digest. An anchored roll's whole premise is firing at a moment the player is demonstrably reading a DM, and the night camp no longer sends one; leaving it in place would have quietly starved the anchor for exactly the autopilot-only player it was added for. Interrupt-driven DMs are untouched: a fork needs a human, a death and a run-completion are terminal, and a boss-safety hold is an explicit stop. Batching those would strand a decision behind the 8h auto-pick or report a finished story. Net effect for a player with an active expedition: roughly 6-10 DMs a day down to one, plus whatever genuinely interrupts. Tests: the recap and ambient send paths had no coverage at all, so nothing would have caught them silently dropping their mechanics along with their message. Adds behavioural tests via the message sink for all three silenced paths, digest rendering, token-not-handle in the URL, and a keep-set regression guard.	2026-07-26 20:34:42 -07:00
prosolis	77dde5d133	dm: stop creating a duplicate DM room on every restart GetDMRoom's lookup chain could never hit. The in-memory cache died with the process, and the m.direct account data it fell back on was never written by the bot -- room creation only ever populated the map. As an appservice user there is no /sync to populate it either, so after each restart the first DM to a user fell through both checks and created a fresh room. Persist the mapping in a new dm_rooms table and read it before anything else. Creation now also publishes m.direct, so clients label the room as a DM. A stored room is checked for liveness before reuse, counting the user as present while merely invited -- they often never accept, and treating that as gone would recreate the room on every send, which is the original bug wearing a different hat. The same check now guards the m.direct path, which previously took the last entry on faith. Two adoption paths keep existing rooms from being orphaned: user-initiated DM invites are claimed on join, and a room the user is already talking in is adopted on first message (negative-cached so group rooms cost one member lookup, not one per message). For users predating the table, a one-shot sweep of joined rooms runs only on the path that would otherwise create a duplicate. The sweep cannot rank duplicates -- without /sync there are no timestamps, so it takes the newest by room-list order. First message from the user corrects any wrong pick.	2026-07-26 10:16:53 -07:00
prosolis	583616f9d0	llm: route every LLM caller through a shared backend client Replaces the per-plugin Ollama HTTP calls with internal/llm, which picks a backend from the environment (vLLM or Ollama) behind one Chat interface, plus internal/plugin/llm_client.go as the plugin-facing wrapper. Startup now logs llm_backend/llm_endpoint/llm_model instead of the two OLLAMA_* vars, which no longer describe where inference actually goes. These files were already running in prod from the vLLM migration but had never been committed; this is that live state, byte-for-byte.	2026-07-26 10:16:33 -07:00
prosolis	3f9c338e67	adventure: give tier 6 a treasure rate, and stop it lying about near misses advTreasureDropRates stopped at tier 5, so every Mythic-zone roll returned nil before it reached a pool: postgame zones have dropped no treasure at all since T6 shipped. Add the rate, deliberately above T5's rather than continuing the downward curve — a Mythic run is gated behind L18 and both T5 bosses, so the same declining rate would mean a postgame player never sees one. The rate alone drops nothing: there is no advAllTreasures[6] yet, and writing those four items is content work, not a code fix. TODO in place where the pool goes, and a test that goes red the day it lands. An empty pool now reports a zero rate instead of the configured one. The caller reads a close roll as "treasure: just missed" — with a rate but no pool that DM fires on the rolls the player actually won, for a treasure that cannot be won. Better to say nothing until there is something to win.	2026-07-25 10:33:59 -07:00
prosolis	afa49b2d4c	adventure: name the zone the treasure actually came from Every Tier 5 treasure line said the Abyssal Maw, whichever zone the drop came from. A find in Dragon's Lair announced itself as the Maw while Pete's dispatch, which reads the real location off the fact, named the Lair. Two tellings of one moment that disagreed about where it happened. Substitute the location instead, in the room announce and the discovery DM both. {location_mid} lowercases the leading article so a line reads "found in the Abyssal Maw" after a preposition; {location} keeps the display form for sentence-initial and "The {location}" positions, which the T1-T4 pools already rely on.	2026-07-25 10:21:32 -07:00

prosolis	10d1e4adf5	adventure: tell Pete this build knows what a party seat is The party list is omitempty, so a solo run and a game box too old to push seats reach Pete as the same empty slice, and those two want opposite buttons. Pete's page was reading the empty one as "solo, therefore leader" and offering a party member the button that throws away everyone's day. One boolean, set on every sheet a build makes — in town, solo, or seated with three others. It says something about the sender, never about the character, so it is set unconditionally: a conditional flag would read as "this player is solo" and land straight back in the hole it closes. An older build sends no key at all, which decodes to false, which is the answer Pete wants when it cannot tell. Pete's half shipped already and withholds the button until this arrives. Verified end to end against a local Pete, not just in tests: a solo leader on a live expedition gets "Call the whole thing off" back, a member still gets "Turn back alone" and never the abandon, and stripping the flag from the same push takes the solo button away again.	2026-07-24 23:03:58 -07:00
