# VoidBot Current System Map

This note is the source-grounded description of how the live VoidBot stack is shaped right now. It is not a prose replacement for the code, and it is not a second canonical map. Its job is to explain the major organs and their data flow in plain language with concrete path anchors.

## Main Organs

- `apps/bot/src/discord-bot.ts`
  - Discord gateway shell: client bootstrap, provider wiring, event registration, and top-level orchestration.
- `apps/bot/src/discord-bot-handlers.ts`
  - Prompt/command handling, provider dispatch, rate-limit gating, job approval/rejection, reindexing, and slash-command registration helpers.
- `apps/bot/src/discord-bot-support.ts`
  - Discord-shape adapters, archive/source conversion helpers, ambient-memory ingestion helpers, source-grounding hint logic, and bot-side message formatting/rendering helpers.
- `apps/worker/src/index.ts`
  - owner-job poller, provider execution, handoff packaging, and MCP wiring for the worker-side lane.
- `apps/worker/src/mcp-server.ts`
  - read-only retrieval tools and resource surfaces for archived history, indexed repos, lore, and owner notifications.
- `packages/core/src/state-storage.ts`
  - Thin state-storage factory that chooses file or Postgres backends and wires the domain stores together.
- `packages/core/src/state-storage-postgres-bootstrap.ts`
  - Postgres schema bootstrap plus one-time legacy file-state import.
- `packages/core/src/state-storage-postgres-job-queue.ts`
  - Postgres-backed job queue plus job row persistence helpers.
- `packages/core/src/state-storage-postgres-audit-log.ts`
  - Postgres-backed audit log plus audit-event upsert helper.
- `packages/core/src/state-storage-postgres-interaction-memory.ts`
  - Postgres-backed interaction-memory event storage and profile reconstruction.
- `packages/core/src/state-storage-rate-limit-stores.ts`
  - File and Postgres implementations for Void usage rate-limit state.
- `packages/core/src/interaction-memory-analysis.ts`
  - Event construction, tone/tag analysis, repetition detection, and persistence gating for remembered interactions.
- `packages/core/src/interaction-memory-profile.ts`
  - Profile synthesis, disposition, psychological read, inferred traits, interaction dimensions, and response-guidance construction.
- `packages/core/src/context-builder.ts`
  - request context assembly, including interaction-memory/profile attachment.
- `packages/providers/src/owner-codex-provider.ts`
  - thin orchestration layer for the Discord-safe `codex exec` lane.
- `packages/providers/src/owner-codex-runtime.ts`
  - Codex process execution, stdout/stderr parsing, trace-event normalization, history-tool loop requests, and owner-DM intent parsing.
- `packages/providers/src/owner-codex-render.ts`
  - prompt assembly, bundle rendering, and trace/debug transcript rendering for the owner lane.
- `packages/providers/src/owner-codex-shared.ts`
  - owner-lane constants, shared types, request-payload shaping, trace formatting helpers, and interaction-memory rendering.
- `packages/providers/src/local-llm-provider.ts`
  - Ollama chat lane with a bounded host-managed read-only tool loop.
- `packages/rag/src/retrieval-service.ts`
  - high-level history/source retrieval API used by bot, worker, and provider tool loops.
- `packages/rag/src/qdrant-vector-store.ts`
  - Qdrant vector persistence for history and source collections.
- `packages/rag/src/message-archive.ts`
  - archived Discord message store under `.voidbot/rag/messages.json`.
- `packages/rag/src/source-document-archive.ts`
  - archived source/lore document store under `.voidbot/rag/source-documents.json`.

## Flow 1: Discord Request To Provider

1. `apps/bot/src/discord-bot.ts` receives a slash command or mention-driven request and delegates prompt/command work into `apps/bot/src/discord-bot-handlers.ts`.
2. Permission checks run through `packages/core/src/permission-engine.ts`.
3. Void usage limits are applied through `packages/core/src/void-usage-rate-limiter.ts` backed by `packages/core/src/state-storage.ts`.
4. `apps/bot/src/discord-bot-support.ts` adapts Discord message/interaction shapes, ambient-memory events, and source-grounding hints.
5. `packages/core/src/interaction-memory-analysis.ts` turns direct prompts or ambient mentions into normalized remembered events; `packages/core/src/interaction-memory-profile.ts` distills remembered events into a reusable social read.
6. `packages/core/src/context-builder.ts` assembles request context, including recent interaction profile and any retrieval hints.
7. Provider selection goes through `packages/providers/src/index.ts`.
8. The bot either:
   - answers directly through `local_llm`, or
   - queues an owner job for the worker / `owner_codex` path.

## Flow 2: Owner Job Execution

1. `apps/worker/src/index.ts` polls approved jobs from durable state.
2. The worker claims a job and dispatches it to the configured provider.
3. `packages/providers/src/owner-codex-provider.ts` runs `codex exec` in the bounded lane, exposes the VoidBot MCP server, records traces, and enforces source grounding for repo/lore/project questions.
   Runtime and parsing live in `packages/providers/src/owner-codex-runtime.ts`; prompt and artifact rendering live in `packages/providers/src/owner-codex-render.ts`.
4. If the answer fits the Discord-safe lane, the worker posts it back.
5. If the task needs deeper work, the worker writes a handoff bundle under `.voidbot/artifacts/<job-id>/` and posts the handoff response.

## Flow 3: Retrieval And Indexing

1. `packages/rag/src/message-archive.ts` and `packages/rag/src/source-document-archive.ts` keep the raw corpora.
2. `packages/rag/src/retrieval-service.ts` translates history/source queries into vector lookups plus metadata filters.
3. `packages/rag/src/qdrant-vector-store.ts` executes the live vector lookups against separate history and source collections.
4. `scripts/index-source-repos.ts` and `scripts/git-post-push-index.mjs` drive detached source/lore reindex work.
5. `apps/worker/src/mcp-server.ts` exposes retrieval to Codex and other sessions through `search_history`, `get_message_context`, `search_sources`, `get_source_context`, and `list_indexed_repos`.

## Flow 4: Ops And Recovery

- `scripts/start-voidbot-stack.ps1`
  - stack bootstrap, health checks, fresh build, stale-process cleanup, bot/worker restart, runtime status emission.
- `scripts/check-voidbot-operations.ps1`
  - watchdog for process liveness, Qdrant, Postgres, Ollama, Discord auth, backup freshness, offsite sync freshness, and configured Repixelizer fire signals.
- `scripts/backup-voidbot-state.ps1`
  - local backup of Postgres, Qdrant snapshots, and RAG archives.
- `scripts/restore-voidbot-state.ps1`
  - local restore path.
- `scripts/sync-voidbot-backup-offsite.ps1`
  - verified offsite backup sync to the Qwen box.
- `scripts/voidbot-operations-dashboard-lib.ps1`
  - dashboard rendering for the local ops surface.

When configured, the watchdog now also federates a small amount of adjacent-service pain into the same ops lane:
- public `GET /api/health` against Repixelizer
- recent `repixelizer-gui` journald pressure on Yggdrasil over SSH
- owner DM escalation for queue saturation, failed jobs, stale cancellations, and slow-job clusters

## Storage Boundaries

- Postgres:
  - jobs
  - audit events
  - interaction-memory events
  - provider run records
  - usage rate-limit state
- Qdrant:
  - Discord history vectors
  - source/lore vectors
- `.voidbot/`:
  - archived raw corpora
  - job artifacts and traces
  - logs and status files
  - backups and snapshots

The important scar is that these stores are split on purpose. Do not casually weld them back into one convenient blob and act surprised when it becomes a moon.

Within the Postgres path, the implementation is split on purpose now too:
- `state-storage.ts` chooses the backend
- `state-storage-postgres-bootstrap.ts` handles schema/bootstrap/import work
- per-domain modules own queue, audit, interaction-memory, and rate-limit behavior
