Per-person photo commands, where the mechanism is public and the album is
not. Nothing identifying is in this repository: who the people are, what
fires their photos and which file shows whom all live in one directory
outside it, and the tests, the docs and the offline e2e run use three
invented people instead.
Several names in one message intersect -- "!alfa beta" is a photo with both
-- and where an entry offers a choice the bot picks among the readings that
actually have a photo, so a question the album could answer is not refused.
A combination nobody photographed gets one line rather than silence, which
from the group's side is indistinguishable from a broken bot.
Scoping is enforced in the dispatcher, not in the handler: a command the
group is not allowed resolves to nothing, so it is not answered, not counted
as a command, and never named in a log line outside its own groups. A
handler that quietly returned would leak all three. Commands are named by
pseudonym (pack:p1), so the journal and command_uses say somebody asked for
a photo and nothing about whose.
Video works: the attachment goes out as data:video/mp4;filename=...;base64,
which is the container's own spelling, read off its /swagger/doc.json.
Told it is a photo, Signal renders a clip as an unplayable file.
tool/tagger.py serves one page on loopback to fill the album in -- names are
typed into the page, never as arguments, and it prints how many photos each
command would have when it stops, because a command with zero is dead on
arrival.
Also renames the real people who were still sitting in the stats test
fixtures. They remain in the history; the point is that nothing new is
added to it.

A Sunday closes a week, a month's last day closes the month, and
31 December closes the year. Keyed off the day being *reported* rather
than off today, which is the only reading that stays right when the bot
has been offline: catching up on a week-old Sunday now also posts that
week's summary, and there is a test asserting the five messages a
three-day outage produces.
One scheduler, a date predicate. Three background tasks firing at the
same wall-clock time into the same group is three independent ways for
an evening to go wrong, for no gain over an if-statement. A failed
period summary is deliberately best-effort and runs after the day has
been marked, so it cannot make the bot re-post the daily one tomorrow.
Also: the quote frame arrived while this was being written, and it
carries a trap. `quote` has its own nested `attachments` array holding
the *quoted* message's media -- so a text reply to somebody's photo has
attachments in the payload that belong to somebody else. Reading them
would credit the replier with a photo they did not post, in a group
where people reply to photos constantly, inflating one number without
ever looking wrong.
The parser already read the top level only and is correct. It is now
pinned by a test built from the exact captured frame, and written up in
DOCS-signal-envelopes.md, because "it happens to be right" and "it
cannot silently stop being right" are different things. This is the same
wrong-nesting-level mistake that once made the bot ignore its own
stickers.
test_bot.py went past the 250-line cap on the way, so the report and
catch-up tests move into files named for what they cover.

Two gaps kuhy pointed at, both about not losing messages the bot was not
awake for.
Missed *counts* already worked and now have a test saying so: an event
is keyed by Signal's own send timestamp, signal-cli keeps receiving in
json-rpc mode while the bot is down, and the replay on reconnect is
absorbed by the primary key. Messages sent during an outage come back
filed under the day they were actually sent.
Missed *reports* did not. A bot that was down at 21:37 never posted that
day and never went back for it. The last day reported is now written
down per group, so returning from an outage posts every day it owes,
oldest first, bounded at a week. A day nobody spoke on is marked settled
rather than reconsidered forever; a day whose send *failed* is
deliberately left unmarked so the next run retries it.
The pre-0.1.0 counter is carried over rather than discarded: 342
messages across four groups, 319 of them in the real group. What the
counter cannot say is when, so before assuming, four places were checked
for a real inbound timestamp -- journald (commands only), signal-cli's
account.db (19 tables, none inbound; message_send_log is the bot's own
outgoing resend buffer), Signal Desktop (unlinked, empty, and it does
not backfill on link), and signal-api/attachments (the one dated
artifact). The attachment mtimes put 12 files on 29 Aug against 79 on
30 Aug inside the counter's window, which is why the whole counter is
filed under 30 Aug rather than split.
That day is marked in group_meta, and a marked day claims no average
message length -- those messages have a count but no lengths, so
"średnio 0 znaków" would be a measurement nobody took. The mark is also
what will keep the day out of personal records: a merged 22-hour day
would otherwise hand somebody a record they never set.
render_day's options move into a DayView value object; the keyword list
had reached eight and this renderer is about to be shared by several
commands that each want a different subset.

The tally was one integer per person, deleted after each post. Nothing
dated survived it, so weeks, months, records, streaks and weekday
averages were all unanswerable. This replaces it with an append-only
per-message log holding metadata only -- never a message body -- and
rebuilds the nightly report on top.
What changes for the group: a photo posted without a caption now counts
(it was worth zero), stickers count, the bot's own messages no longer
do, people who said nothing appear with a 0, and the report covers the
previous full calendar day in Europe/Warsaw instead of "since the last
post" -- which used to merge two days whenever a group went quiet.
Notable decisions, each with the trap it avoids:
- Events and people are PERMANENT_TABLES: neither forget_group nor a
future SCHEMA_VERSION bump may drop them. Both paths used to cost a
day's counter and would now cost the entire history, and forget_group
fires on a listing that merely omits members.
- is_own comes from which envelope branch carried the payload, not from
comparing identities. The account is spelled as a uuid on some frames
and a +E.164 number on others, so any comparison misses one of them.
- The roster is stashed in refresh(), not _adopt(), which returns early
once the watched set stops changing -- i.e. always, in the steady
state.
- The roster matches on uuid OR number because /v1/groups spells kuhy as
+48123456789 while his messages carry an ACI uuid. Joining on uuid
alone would have listed him twice every night, once with 0.
- Members whose display name we have never seen are counted, not named:
their only spellings are a uuid or a phone number.
- (group, uuid, sent_at_ms) is the primary key, so a websocket
redelivery after a reconnect cannot inflate the counts.
- Days come from a stored Warsaw date string, never a timestamp range:
2026-03-29 is 23 hours long and 2026-10-25 is 25.
- Polish number agreement is a real rule with a 12-14 exception, so
"44 znaki" and "45 znaków" are both spelled correctly.
config.py and startup.py were two lines under the 250-line cap and both
had to grow, so config_env and startup_retry come out of them first, as
pure moves.
