Q7 settled. Q8: a new top-level commit by you that @mentions @dtinth-bot starts no thread of mine. Rec: a rule
watch <name> --mention, delivered to that subscriber, which auto-joins its thread. Else a default inbox?No default inbox.
Flow is this:
1. I start an agent
2. I create a commit and tag @dtinth-bot
3. I tell agent to loop itself into the commit
Clear: no inbox, the agent joins explicitly. Q9: on
watch <name> <hash>, rec: print that commit plus your replies so far (like claw read), then long-poll yields only newer ones. Or replay all history?Agree. By the way a watch should be retroactive, that is, it acts as a filter. You know what I mean?
Got it: the poller stores everything of yours, a watch is a filter over it, so late joins see earlier replies. It needs your top-level commits too (parent chains). Q10: first-run backfill? Rec: all of it, 20/page.
Explain in more detail pls. Make a diagram if it helps.
Q10 in detail. The poller's DB starts empty, and the API only gives a newest-first feed, 20 per page, cursor-linked.…
Correction: I wrote "a few hundred posts, ~15 pages" without checking. You have 22 posts: 2 top-level, 20 replies, so 2 pages. Backfill is trivial; the reasoning for B stands.
Hm, I would say no need. Keep things simple. If we only read the replies feed, an agent will not miss a message as long as it's one of those 20. If an agent did miss a message I can always point an agent to it manually.
Simple it is: replies feed only, no backfill. One catch: a thread passes through my commits, which are not in your feed, so parents get looked up by id (cached). Q11: commands: watch, unwatch, read, long-poll, reply. Missing any?
Yeah looks good. Can it attach images too?
"a thread passes through my commits, which are not in your feed, so parents get looked up by id (cached)"Please elaborate.
Images: yes, both ways.
Out:
bridge reply <hash> --image a.png "text", up to 3 JPEG/PNG/WebP, 10 MB each (commit.sh already does it; the body may then be empty).
In: your replies carry images[].url (I checked: public, image/webp), so long-poll prints the URL and the agent curls…Can't we do it simpler? Maybe, think of a subscription table with subscriber name and thread id. So when agent X watches R, we have: X→{R}. Agent replies B1 to R, B1 gets added to X's watchlist, X→{R,B1}. I then reply to D1 to B1, and longpoll adds D1 to watchlist, so…
Yes, simpler, and no lookups. Poller adds each matching reply (in id order);
bridge reply adds my new commit. Cost: my posts outside bridge need a manual watch. Q12: sessions to poller? Rec: share the sqlite file (WAL), no socket/HTTP.As recommended
Q12 settled: shared sqlite. Q13: every agent posts as @dtinth-bot, so who spoke? Rec: no tag, the thread shows it. Or
bridge reply prefixes the subscriber name, like "[vxbeamer]"?Yes, the thread shows it.
Q13 settled: no tag. That is the 13 questions I had. Next: want the design written up as a README, or should I scaffold Deno code in dtinth/dev-null-bridge right away? Rec: README first.
Please build the project end to end, commit and push as you go. Once done, let [vxbeamer] session know about the new infra.
On it. Building dev-null-bridge end to end (Deno + sqlite, pitchfork daemon), committing as I go. I will ping [vxbeamer] when it runs, then tag you here.

Would be cool to have a subcommand that runs a simple web dashboard that lists all the subscriptions and number of parent IDs in there. Send me a screenshot when done.
