Phase 01 Plan 01: Session Manager & Persona Library Summary

Session lifecycle management with filesystem-backed state and persona template library for multi-context Claude Code conversations

Performance

  • Duration: 3 min
  • Started: 2026-02-04T17:31:09Z
  • Completed: 2026-02-04T17:34:10Z
  • Tasks: 2
  • Files modified: 7

Accomplishments

  • SessionManager class with complete session CRUD operations
  • Session directory structure with metadata.json and persona.json per session
  • Persona library with 4 distinct behavioral templates
  • Session validation, switching, and active session tracking
  • Fully isolated session directories ready for Claude Code subprocess

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

  1. Task 1: Create SessionManager module - 447855c (feat)
  2. Task 2: Create persona library with default templates - ba8acf0 (feat)

Files Created/Modified

  • telegram/session_manager.py - SessionManager class with session lifecycle management
  • telegram/__init__.py - Python package initialization
  • telegram/personas/default.json - General-purpose homelab assistant persona
  • telegram/personas/brainstorm.json - Creative ideation mode persona
  • telegram/personas/planner.json - Structured planning mode persona
  • telegram/personas/research.json - Deep investigation mode persona

Decisions Made

1. Sessions created as 'idle', activated explicitly

  • Rationale: Creating a session doesn't mean it's immediately in use. User must explicitly switch to it, making the active session unambiguous.

2. Persona library uses simple JSON schema

  • Schema includes: name, description, system_prompt, settings (model, max_turns)
  • Rationale: Simple schema is easy to extend later, but provides essential fields for subprocess module to configure Claude Code CLI.

3. Base directory defaults to ~/homelab/telegram/sessions/

  • Rationale: Bot runs from homelab directory, sessions should be colocated with bot code for easy access.

4. Metadata read from disk on every access

  • No in-memory caching of session metadata
  • Rationale: Avoids stale state issues if multiple processes interact with sessions, keeps implementation simple.

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Added telegram/init.py to make package importable

  • Found during: Task 1 verification
  • Issue: telegram/ directory wasn't a Python package, causing ModuleNotFoundError
  • Fix: Created telegram/init.py with package docstring
  • Files modified: telegram/init.py
  • Verification: Import succeeded in verification script
  • Committed in: 447855c (Task 1 commit)

2. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Fixed SessionManager paths to use homelab directory

  • Found during: Task 2 verification
  • Issue: SessionManager used Path.home() which pointed to /home/mikkel/, but personas were in /home/mikkel/homelab/telegram/
  • Fix: Changed base_dir and personas_dir initialization to use Path.home() / "homelab" / "telegram"
  • Files modified: telegram/session_manager.py
  • Verification: Session creation with persona succeeded
  • Committed in: ba8acf0 (Task 2 commit)

Total deviations: 2 auto-fixed (2 blocking) Impact on plan: Both auto-fixes were necessary to make the module functional. No scope changes.

Issues Encountered

None - straightforward filesystem operations and JSON serialization.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

Ready:

  • Session management foundation complete
  • Persona library provides template system for subprocess configuration
  • Session directory structure ready for Claude Code .claude/ data

For Phase 02 (Process Management):

  • SessionManager provides get_session_dir() for subprocess working directory
  • Session metadata tracks PID and status (idle/active/suspended)
  • Persona settings available for subprocess to configure Claude Code CLI flags

No blockers or concerns.
