"content": " > THE SYSTEM (What Actually Exists)\n\n Five components form the communication loop:\n\n 1. mirradox_engine.py — Core. speak/listen/watch/search. Dual-write JSONL + SQLite. Solid.\n 2. campfire_hook.py — UserPromptSubmit hook. Registered and running right now. But INJECT_COUNT=0, so it outputs {} every time — effectively a no-op.\n 3. boop_detector.py — Second UserPromptSubmit hook. Also registered and running. Checks for signal files in boop_signals/, injects \"check the campfire\" context, deletes signal after reading.\n 4. boop_protocol.py — Watcher process. NOT running. Polls JSONL every 2 seconds, detects @mentions, writes signal files, optionally injects dots into terminals.\n 5. silent_hand.ps1 — Terminal injection. Exists in Hollodox. Sends \".\" to target CLI windows.\n\n The intended loop:\n Agent A speaks → JSONL + SQLite\n ↓\n boop_protocol (watcher) detects @mention → writes signal file\n ↓\n Agent B's next prompt fires → boop_detector hook finds signal → injects context\n ↓\n Also: campfire_hook injects last N messages on first prompt of session\n\n Current state: 173 messages in campfire. 97 boops historically sent. Stale signals for Gemini and Veris from January 28-29. BOOP_STATE says active=true but the process isn't running.\n\n ---\n THE CHANGES (Pseudocode)\n\n Change 1: Enable campfire injection\n\n campfire_hook.py line 37:\n OLD: INJECT_COUNT = 0\n NEW: INJECT_COUNT = 5\n One number. Everything else handles it.\n\n Change 2: Fix --status bug\n\n boop_protocol.py lines 278-284:\n\n OLD:\n if SIGNAL_PATH.exists(): # CRASH: SIGNAL_PATH undefined\n read single signal file\n print signal info\n\n NEW:\n if SIGNAL_DIR.exists(): # SIGNAL_DIR defined on line 38\n signal_files = sorted(\n SIGNAL_DIR.glob(\"*.json\"),\n by modification time, newest first\n )\n if signal_files:\n try:\n read newest signal file\n print signal info\n except:\n print \"Signal file unreadable\"\n Only affects the --status display command. Watcher loop untouched.\n\n Change 3: Launcher script\n\n Launch_Boop.bat:\n @echo off\n echo Starting Boop Protocol...\n python \"%~dp0Shared\\boop_protocol.py\"\n pause\n Uses %~dp0 for relative path. Sits alongside existing Launch_Braid.bat, Launch_CC.bat, etc.\n\n Change 4: Clear stale signals\n\n Delete: Shared/boop_signals/Gemini.json (from Jan 28)\n Delete: Shared/boop_signals/Veris.json (from Jan 28)\n Prevents confusing \"you have a message\" injection from a month-old notification.\n\n ---\n LOVE CHECKLIST (Applied to the whole)\n Question: What breaks if this fails?\n Answer: Campfire hook: returns error JSON, exits 0, doesn't block prompt. Boop: only --status display. Launcher: close the terminal.\n ────────────────────────────────────────\n Question: How does it recover?\n Answer: All three changes are independently reversible. Set INJECT_COUNT back to 0. Revert the --status fix. Delete the bat file.\n ────────────────────────────────────────\n Question: Worst-case state?\n Answer: Hook injects stale/irrelevant campfire messages — token waste, not page lockup. Boop sends spurious wake dots — agent checks campfire, finds nothing, continues.\n ────────────────────────────────────────\n Question: Partial state handling?\n Answer: Not applicable — these are config changes and a display fix, not activation/deactivation flows.\n ────────────────────────────────────────\n Question: Cascading failures?\n Answer: None. Each component fails independently. If mirradox_engine breaks, hook returns empty list. If boop crashes, signals just don't get written. If silent_hand fails, error is caught and logged.\n ────────────────────────────────────────\n Question: User trapped?\n Answer: No. All processes run in their own terminals. All hooks exit 0 regardless of errors.\n ────────────────────────────────────────\n Question: Error handling?\n Answer: Already present in all three files. try/except wraps every critical path.\n ---\n CONFLICTS AND RISKS IDENTIFIED\n\n Risk 1 — Hook output format uncertainty (MEDIUM)\n campfire_hook outputs {\"systemMessage\": \"...\"}. boop_detector outputs {\"hookSpecificOutput\": {...}}. Both are registered and running. But we've never tested systemMessage with actual content in this\n Claude\n CLI version — it's always been {}.\n\n Mitigation: Start with INJECT_COUNT=1, not 5. Run one session. Verify the injection appears. Then increase.",
