+# ai-bot
+
+A plaintext Matrix bot user (`@ai:vojo.chat`, display name **Vojo AI**) that
+answers xAI Grok completions in its rooms: `@`-mentions in group rooms and every
+message in a 1:1. It runs as a **Synapse application service** — Synapse pushes
+event transactions to the bot's HTTP endpoint; the bot speaks the Matrix CS-API
+back over plain HTTP (no Olm/Megolm — Vojo rooms are unencrypted by default) and
+calls the xAI OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API.
+
+Authentication is the appservice `as_token`/`hs_token` (from the registration) —
+non-expiring, so there is **no token rotation and no stored password**.
+
+It is a **separate server-side service**, deployed next to Synapse. It lives in
+this repo (alongside `apps/widget-*`) but ships nothing to the web client.
+
+> Branding: user-facing name is **Vojo AI** with a generic icon. "Grok" appears
+> only as the factual attribution ("powered by Grok, xAI") and as the real model
+> id — never as the product name or logo (xAI Brand Guidelines).
+
+Design source of truth: `docs/plans/grok_bot.md`. Privacy/152-ФЗ pre-launch
+gating lives there (§6) and is **not** closed by this code.

+
+## Configuration
+
+All via environment (see `.env.example`). Required: `HOMESERVER_URL`, `BOT_MXID`,
+`AS_TOKEN`, `HS_TOKEN`, `XAI_API_KEY`, `ALLOWED_SERVERS`. `AS_ADDR` (default
+`:8009`) is the transaction-push listen address — it must match the `url` port in
+the registration. The model is env-configurable (`XAI_MODEL`, default
+`grok-4.20-0309-non-reasoning`; `grok-4.3` is an alternative — **re-verify the id
++ price on docs.x.ai before deploy**).
+
+The hard USD ceiling is priced from the **API-returned token usage** times the
+configured `XAI_PRICE_*_PER_M` fallbacks, so a price change only needs those
+constants updated — it can't silently blow the cap.
+
+## One-time setup (appservice registration)
+
+Like the mautrix bridges (e.g. telegram), the bot **generates its own
+registration** (random `as_token`/`hs_token`) and reads its tokens back from that
+same file — the single source of truth shared with Synapse, no hand-copying.
+
+1. Generate it (writes `REGISTRATION_PATH`, default `/data/registration.yaml`):
+   ```bash
+   docker compose run --rm ai-bot generate-registration
+   ```
+2. Bind-mount that same file into the Synapse container (e.g. as
+   `/data/ai-registration.yaml`) and add it to `homeserver.yaml`:
+   ```yaml
+   app_service_config_files:
+     - /data/ai-registration.yaml
+   ```
+3. **Restart Synapse** (it caches AS configs at startup). Synapse auto-creates
+   `@ai:vojo.chat` from `sender_localpart` — no `register_new_matrix_user`.
+
+The bot reads `REGISTRATION_PATH` for its tokens (no env `AS_TOKEN`/`HS_TOKEN`
+needed) and sets its own display name (`BOT_DISPLAY_NAME`, default "Vojo AI") on
+startup. The bot writes/reads `/data`, so that dir must be owned by the image's
+runtime uid (distroless nonroot = **65532**): `sudo chown -R 65532:65532 ~/vojo/ai-bot`.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+go run . check-config   # local config smoke test (no homeserver contact)
+go run .                # real run (needs env + a reachable homeserver)
+```
+
+### Image & secrets model
+
+The image is **config-less** (a `.dockerignore` keeps `.env`, `state/` and VCS
+out of the build context; the Dockerfile copies only the binary + `prompts/`).
+Build locally and ship like the mautrix bridges (VS Code task **Deploy AI bot** =
+`docker build -t ai-bot:custom` → `docker save | ssh docker load`), then run on
+the server with config + secrets supplied at runtime.
+
+Config and secrets are **separated**: non-secret config in `ai-bot.env`
+(`env_file`); the appservice tokens live in the generated `registration.yaml`
+(read via `REGISTRATION_PATH`); the only remaining standalone secret is the xAI
+key (`XAI_API_KEY_FILE`).
+
+Compose stanza (add to `~/vojo/docker-compose.yml`; the **service key `ai-bot`**
+must match the registration `url` host `http://ai-bot:8009`):
+
+```yaml
+ai-bot:
+  image: ai-bot:custom
+  container_name: vojo-ai-bot
+  restart: unless-stopped
+  depends_on: [synapse]
+  env_file: ./ai-bot/ai-bot.env                  # NON-SECRET config (chmod 600)
+  environment:
+    REGISTRATION_PATH: /data/registration.yaml   # tokens (generated; shared with Synapse)
+    STATE_DIR: /data/state                        # SQLite: spend ledger + txn dedup
+    XAI_API_KEY_FILE: /data/secrets/xai_api_key   # the one standalone secret
+  volumes:
+    - ./ai-bot:/data                              # owned by uid 65532 (see setup)
+```
+
+Also bind-mount the same registration into Synapse and restart it:
+
+```yaml
+synapse:
+  volumes:
+    - ./ai-bot/registration.yaml:/data/ai-registration.yaml:ro
+```
+
+`HOMESERVER_URL` must use the Synapse **service name** (`http://synapse:8008`),
+not `localhost`. Synapse and the bot must share a docker network (same compose
+project does this) so Synapse can push to `http://ai-bot:8009`.
+
+## Verification status
+
+Compile-level + unit-tested locally:
+
+- ✅ `go vet` clean, `gofmt` clean, static CGO-free build.
+- ✅ `go test` — appservice transaction handling (hs_token auth → 403 on bad
+  token, txnId idempotency / no re-dispatch, legacy `?access_token=`, user query
+  200/404); mention detection (m.mentions, empty-`{}` F29, no-body-fallback F30,
+  pill, reply-to-bot); DM classification (invited+joined==2, F3: 2 joined + 1
+  invited is **not** a 1:1); group-vs-DM context minimisation (groups never leak
+  third-party content); USD pricing.
+- ✅ `check-config` reads env + loads the system prompt.
+
+Deferred to a live homeserver + xAI key + a loaded registration (runtime ✔):
+
+- Synapse pushes transactions → bot replies (`authenticated as @ai:vojo.chat` in logs);
+- invite from `:vojo.chat` → join, foreign-server invite → leave (F11);
+- `@`-mention / 1:1 message → `m.notice` reply with reply (and thread, F27) relation;
+- encrypted room → exactly one notice, **not** repeated after restart (F5);
+- per-user cap → silent drop; global USD ceiling → one notice/room/day;
+- a retried transaction (lost 200) is processed at most once (txn dedup).
