# ms-watch — self-armed condition watches
|
||||
|
||||
One CLI call arms an isolated `systemd --user` transient timer per watch. Each
|
||||
tick is a fresh, cgroup-isolated process; no loop, no script, no orphan. You
|
||||
never `sleep`, never write a watch script, never background anything.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
MOSAIC_AGENT_SEND="/absolute/checkout/tools/tmux/agent-send.sh" \
|
||||
/absolute/checkout/tools/agent-watch/agent-watch.sh start \
|
||||
--name <lowercase-id> --session <your-tmux-session> \
|
||||
[--socket <tmux-socket>] # REQUIRED for mosaic-fleet seats using tmux
|
||||
--when '<shell command>' # exit 0 = met; quote it
|
||||
--message "text delivered to you" \
|
||||
[--class actionable|reaction|human|digest|terminal-log] \
|
||||
[--interval 30] [--timeout 3600] [--repeat] [--quiet-timeout]
|
||||
|
||||
agent-watch.sh list # your host's watches
|
||||
agent-watch.sh log <name> # what it did and why
|
||||
agent-watch.sh stop <name> # retire + clean state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use the actual checkout path in place of `/absolute/checkout`. The CLI otherwise
|
||||
uses a sender under `$HOME/.config/mosaic`, which may not be this repository's
|
||||
reviewed transport. No timers or meta-watch are installed merely by loading this
|
||||
skill. Live watch operations require assignment authority. `list` and `status`
|
||||
can write stale-notice claims and send messages; they are not read-only probes.
|
||||
The CLI's `status [--json]` returns 0 for clean, 3 for stale/dead meta-watch,
|
||||
and 6 for an unreachable systemd user bus. Do not infer health from a failed query.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Name it for the thing watched** (`ci-pr1350-green`, `peer-orch-01-reply`),
|
||||
not for yourself — names appear in `[watch:<name>]` message prefixes and
|
||||
in `systemctl list-timers 'agent-watch-*'`.
|
||||
2. **Interval floor is 10s.** A watcher is a fallback cadence. If you find
|
||||
yourself wanting 1s polls, the real fix is an event, not a faster watch.
|
||||
3. **Timeout is real** (default 1h): on expiry you get one terminal-log note
|
||||
(unless `--quiet-timeout`) and the watch retires. A watch is never forever;
|
||||
re-arm deliberately if the condition is still pending.
|
||||
4. **Conditions are cron-style**: clean-ish environment, `cwd=$HOME`. Use
|
||||
absolute paths. Do NOT rely on ambient credentials — resolve tokens through
|
||||
the git credential helper or absolute service-credential paths.
|
||||
5. **Transport is not application acceptance.** The current watcher treats sender
|
||||
exit 0 and 2 as terminal for retry purposes. Exit 0 means transport dispatched,
|
||||
application acceptance unknown; exit 2 does not prove submission or receipt.
|
||||
Its legacy `delivered` log wording is not an acknowledgement. Other sender
|
||||
failures retry twice, then retire; do not add blind resends.
|
||||
6. **A broken condition (exit ≠ 0/1) retires the watch** with a terminal-log
|
||||
note. Check `log <name>` before re-arming — re-arming a broken condition
|
||||
without fixing it just burns another timeout.
|
||||
7. **`--repeat` re-arms after every delivery.** Default is one-shot on purpose:
|
||||
each watch should correspond to one pending fact.
|
||||
8. **Retire your watches** when the mission closes (`stop`). `list` shows
|
||||
stale-state entries whose timer is gone; stop removes those too.
|
||||
9. Fleet seats MUST pass `--socket mosaic-fleet`. Socket selection is explicit
|
||||
option, then MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET, then unique discovery; ambiguity refuses.
|
||||
|
||||
## When NOT to watch
|
||||
|
||||
- Waiting on another SEAT: send them a message (agent-send / comms) instead —
|
||||
a watch polling their output is a loop wearing a hat.
|
||||
- Waiting on yourself: just do the next thing.
|
||||
- Something that already has a wake path (fleet watcher injects comms
|
||||
automatically): those arrive without any watch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Failure model (what you'll see)
|
||||
|
||||
| Symptom | Meaning |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `started watcher ...` then nothing, timer inactive | condition broke (exit ≠ 0/1) or timeout hit — `log <name>` says which |
|
||||
| `[watch:x] ... timeout after Ns` | retired; re-arm only if still relevant |
|
||||
| delivered (rc=2) in log | legacy retry classification, not proof of receipt; reconcile through authorized records, not private-pane inspection |
|
||||
| delivery failed rc=1 after 3 attempts | your session was gone; restart it, then re-arm |
