Project State

Project Reference

See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-02-04)

Core value: Frictionless conversation with Claude Code from anywhere via Telegram — no SSH, no manual inbox checking, just message and get a response. Current focus: Phase 2 complete, ready for Phase 3

Current Position

Phase: 3 of 4 (Lifecycle Management) — IN PROGRESS Plan: 03-01 complete (1 of 3 plans completed) Status: In progress Last activity: 2026-02-04 — Completed 03-01-PLAN.md (Idle timer foundation)

Progress: [████████████░░░] 60%

Performance Metrics

Velocity:

  • Total plans completed: 6
  • Average duration: 18 min
  • Total execution time: 1.98 hours

By Phase:

Phase Plans Total Avg/Plan
1 3 27min 9min
2 2 95min 48min
3 1 2min 2min

Recent Trend:

  • Last 3 plans: 02-01 (5min), 02-02 (90min), 03-01 (2min)
  • 03-01: Fast foundation module creation

Updated after each plan completion

Accumulated Context

Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table. Recent decisions affecting current work:

  • Claude Code CLI over raw API: Gets full tool access, --resume support, and all Claude Code features for free
  • Haiku polling + Opus conversation: Avoids burning expensive Opus tokens on idle monitoring (deferred to v2)
  • Path-based sessions: Leverages Claude Code's native session-per-directory behavior, files naturally scoped
  • Extend existing bot: Reuse proven Telegram integration rather than building from scratch
  • Sessions created as 'idle', activated explicitly: Creating doesn't mean in use, switch required (01-01)
  • Metadata read from disk on demand: No caching to avoid stale state (01-01)
  • Asyncio.gather for concurrent stream reading: Prevents pipe deadlock (01-02)
  • Fresh process per turn: Spawn new claude -p invocation for Phase 1 simplicity (01-02)
  • Callback architecture: Decouple subprocess from session management via on_output/on_error/on_complete/on_status (01-02)
  • Sibling imports over package imports: Avoids shadowing pip telegram package (01-03)
  • Archive sessions with tar+pigz: Compression + cleanup to sessions_archive/ (01-03)
  • Persistent subprocess instead of fresh per turn: Eliminates ~1s spawn overhead, maintains context (02-01)
  • Split messages at 4000 chars (not 4096): Leaves room for MarkdownV2 escape expansion (02-01)
  • Never split inside code blocks: Track in_code_block state, only split when safe (02-01)
  • Dynamic typing event lookup: Callbacks reference typing_tasks dict by session name, not captured event (02-02)
  • --append-system-prompt instead of --system-prompt: Preserves Claude Code model identity (02-02)
  • --dangerously-skip-permissions: Full tool access in non-interactive subprocess (02-02)
  • Full model ID in persona: Use claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 instead of alias (02-02)
  • Stream-json NDJSON format: {type: user, message: {role: user, content: text}} (02-02)
  • Default 600s (10 min) idle timeout per session: Balances responsiveness with resource conservation (03-01)
  • Timer reset via task cancellation: Cancel existing task, create new background sleep task (03-01)
  • PID property returns live process ID only: None if terminated to prevent stale references (03-01)

Pending Todos

None yet.

Blockers/Concerns

Phase 1 (Session & Process Foundation) — COMPLETE

  • Claude Code CLI --resume behavior with pipes vs PTY unknown — RESOLVED
  • Output format for tool calls not documented — RESOLVED

Phase 2 (Telegram Integration) — COMPLETE

  • Non-persistent process model (spawned fresh per turn) — RESOLVED (02-01)
  • Message batching strategy needs validation — RESOLVED: Works with 2s debounce (02-02)
  • File upload flow needs end-to-end testing — RESOLVED: User-verified (02-02)
  • Typing indicator not visible despite API success — RESOLVED: Stale task cleanup + dynamic event lookup (02-02)
  • Model identifies as wrong version — RESOLVED: --append-system-prompt preserves CLI defaults (02-02)

Phase 3 (Lifecycle Management) — IN PROGRESS

  • None yet
