# JW Library Sync System
**Date:** 2026-03-31
**Status:** Working — E2E Verified (Tablet)
**Stack:** Android (Tablet/Phone), Tasker, AutoInput, GitSync, Gitea, n8n, jwlFusion

---

## System Overview

Syncs JW Library backups (`.jwlibrary`) across multiple Android devices via a central server-side merge. Each device exports its backup, pushes it to Gitea, the server merges everything into a single `master.jwlibrary`, and each device restores from that master.

---

## Daily Sequence (4:30 AM)

| Time | Device | Action |
|------|--------|--------|
| 04:30 | Tablet | Backup → GitSync push → trigger n8n merge |
| 04:35 | Phone | Backup → GitSync push |
| 04:45 | Tablet | (after n8n responds) GitSync pull → restore master |

## Tasker Tasks

### JWL_Backup_To_Git
1. **Kill App** — `org.jw.jwlibrary.mobile`
2. **Wait** — 2s
3. **Launch App** — JW Library
4. **Wait** — 3s
5. **AutoInput** — `nav_personal_study` → `action_backup_restore` → `Create Backup`
6. **Wait** — 3s
7. **AutoInput** — `Save Locally` → confirm (`android:id/button1`)
8. **Perform Task** — `Git Sync`

### Git Sync
1. **AutoInput** — `openApp(com.viscouspot.gitsync)` → `click(text,SYNC CHANGES)` → `backOutOfApp()`
2. **Perform Task** — `JWL_Merge` (wait for return)

### JWL_Merge
1. **HTTP POST** — `http://n8n.bunny-wyvern.ts.net:5678/webhook/sync-jw-backup`
   - Body: `{"device": "Samsung-Tablet-S10+"}`
   - Timeout: 60s
2. **Wait** — 2s
3. **If** `%http_data` matches `*Successful*`:
   - **Wait** — 3s
   - **Perform Task** — `JWL_Restore_From_Git`
4. **End If**
   - *(Discord notification fires on n8n side if merge fails)*

### JWL_Restore_From_Git
1. **Kill App** — `org.jw.jwlibrary.mobile`
2. **Wait** — 2s
3. **Launch App** — JW Library
4. **Wait** — 3s
5. **AutoInput** — `nav_personal_study` → `action_backup_restore` → `Restore Backup`
6. **Wait** — 3s
7. **Open File** (Tasker) — `/storage/emulated/0/vault/JW_Backups/master.jwlibrary`
   - JW Library intercepts the file directly — no file picker navigation needed

---

## n8n Workflow

**Webhook** → **SSH (Execute command)** → success: **Respond "Merge Successful"** / error: **Discord notification** → **Respond "Merge Failed"**

- Webhook path: `POST /webhook/sync-jw-backup`
- SSH credential: `Homelab Login`
- Script: `bash /home/artanis/Documents/JW_Backup_Sync_Engine.sh`
- No Wait node between SSH and response — removed, was causing indefinite hang

---

## Server Script — JW_Backup_Sync_Engine.sh

**Path:** `/home/artanis/Documents/JW_Backup_Sync_Engine.sh`
**Source copy:** `stacks/n8n/JW_Backup/JW_Backup_Sync_Engine.sh`

**What it does:**
1. `git pull origin main` — fetch latest device backups
2. Rename all `.jwlibrary` files (except `master.jwlibrary`) to `incoming_N.jwlibrary`
3. Run `jwlFusion` to merge all incoming files into `master_tmp.jwlibrary`
   - If only one file and no master exists: promotes it directly
4. Delete all `incoming_*.jwlibrary` files
5. Rename `master_tmp.jwlibrary` → `master.jwlibrary`
6. `git add -A` → commit → `git push origin main`
   - `git add -A` is critical — stages deletions of old device files so they don't reappear on next pull

**After script runs:** only `master.jwlibrary` remains in the repo.

## Known Issues & Workarounds

| Issue | Workaround |
|-------|-----------|
| Termux:Tasker fails ("Missing/Disabled Receiver") | Use AutoInput to physically click GitSync UI instead |
| GitSync doesn't respond to `com.viscouspot.gitsync.action.SYNC` intents | AutoInput clicks "SYNC CHANGES" button directly |
| JW Library `android.intent.action.VIEW` intent does nothing | Tasker **Open File** action works instead |
| JW Library on wrong screen breaks AutoInput | Force-stop app before every launch |
| Old device backups persisted in repo across runs | `git add -A` instead of `git add master.jwlibrary` |

## Adding a New Device

All task files for a new device are in `stacks/n8n/JW_Backup/` — the `(1)` suffixed files are the phone templates.

### 1. Install Apps
- **Tasker** (Play Store)
- **AutoInput** (Play Store — same source as Tasker)
- **GitSync** (Play Store)
- **JW Library** (Play Store)

### 2. Configure GitSync
1. Open GitSync → add a new repository
2. Clone URL: `https://gitea.bunny-wyvern.ts.net/artanis/Inanis_Vault`
3. Local path: `/storage/emulated/0/vault`
4. Credentials: Gitea username + password (see `credentials.gpg`)
5. Do an initial sync to confirm the repo clones correctly — `JW_Backups/` folder should appear at `/storage/emulated/0/vault/JW_Backups/`

### 3. Import Tasker Tasks
Import the following files from `stacks/n8n/JW_Backup/` into Tasker (long-press task list → Import):
- `JWL_Backup_To_Git.tsk(1).xml`
- `Git_Sync.tsk(1).xml`
- `JWL_Merge.tsk(1).xml`
- `JWL_Restore_From_Git.tsk(1).xml`

### 4. Update Device Name
In `JWL_Merge`, find the HTTP POST body and update the device identifier:
```json
{"device": "YOUR-DEVICE-NAME-HERE"}
```
This is only used for logging — set it to something recognizable (e.g., `Samsung-Phone-A55`).

### 5. Grant Permissions
- **Tasker:** grant accessibility service, notification access, and storage permissions
- **AutoInput:** grant accessibility service
- **GitSync:** grant storage permissions
- **JW Library:** grant storage permissions

### 6. Set Up Tasker Profile
Create a **Time** profile to trigger `JWL_Backup_To_Git` at the device's scheduled time (e.g., 04:35 for phone). The task chain handles everything from there: backup → git push → n8n merge → git pull → restore.

### 7. Test
Run `JWL_Backup_To_Git` manually and verify each step completes. Check n8n Executions tab to confirm the webhook fired and the SSH script succeeded.

## Open Items

- [ ] **Screen-off handling** — verify AutoInput sequence works when device screen is off (may need `Turn On Display` + `Dismiss Keyguard` actions before AutoInput steps)
- [ ] **Phone e2e test** — tablet verified, phone not yet tested end-to-end
- [ ] **Stagger validation** — confirm 5-min gap between phone push (04:35) and tablet n8n trigger (04:45) is sufficient on slow networks
