Spencer Grimes dd8bf6005b Bump to v1.5.0: deduplicate detectors, fix aggregator bugs, fix blocking I/O
- Extract shared send_event/clear_event into detectors/base.py, removing
  ~150 lines of duplication across all 6 detectors
- Fix default aggregator URL from port 5000 to 5100 in all detectors
- Standardize cpu.py and memory.py to use active_alerts set pattern
- Fix immediate emote rotation on startup (last_emote_change = time.time())
- Extract magic numbers to named constants in aggregator
- Protect write_status() with try/except OSError
- Fix notify event ID collision with monotonic counter
- Replace blocking stream_output() with background daemon threads in kao.py

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
**Important:**
- When updating this file, always update `README.md` as well. The README is the main user-facing documentation for the project.
- On every commit, bump the version number in `index.html` (the `VERSION` constant) and update `README.md` with any relevant changes.
## Project Overview
Kao is a minimalist system status monitor designed for an old Pixel phone used as an ambient display. It uses ASCII "emotes" to represent system health instead of complex graphs.
## Architecture
**Publisher/Subscriber model:**
```
┌─────────────┐ POST /event ┌─────────────┐ GET /status ┌─────────────┐
│ Detectors │ ──────────────────▶ │ Aggregator │ ◀────────────────── │ Emote-UI │
│ (sensors) │ │ (broker) │ │ (display) │
└─────────────┘ └─────────────┘ └─────────────┘
```
- **Aggregator** (`aggregator.py`) — Flask service managing the event queue and priority logic
- **Detectors** (`detectors/*.py`) — Independent scripts monitoring system metrics
- **Emote-UI** (`index.html`) — OLED-optimized web frontend
- **Sentry** (`kao.py`) — Unified entry point managing all processes
## Quick Start
```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # or .\venv\Scripts\activate on Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
python kao.py
```
UI available at http://localhost:5100
## Configuration
Edit `config.json` to configure detectors:
```json
{
"aggregator_url": "http://localhost:5100",
"aggregator": { "script": "aggregator.py" },
"detectors": [
{
"name": "cpu",
"enabled": true,
"script": "detectors/cpu.py",
"env": { "CHECK_INTERVAL": "30", "THRESHOLD_WARNING": "85", "THRESHOLD_CRITICAL": "95" }
}
]
}
```
## Detectors
| Detector | Script | Required Env Vars |
|----------|--------|-------------------|
| Disk Space | `detectors/disk_space.py` | — |
| CPU | `detectors/cpu.py` | — |
| Memory | `detectors/memory.py` | — |
| Service | `detectors/service.py` | `SERVICES` (comma-separated process names) |
| Network | `detectors/network.py` | `HOSTS` (comma-separated hostnames/IPs) |
| Docker | `detectors/docker.py` | `CONTAINERS` (optional, monitors all if empty) |
All detectors support: `AGGREGATOR_URL`, `CHECK_INTERVAL`, `THRESHOLD_WARNING`, `THRESHOLD_CRITICAL`
## API Endpoints
| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/event` | POST | Register event: `{"id": "name", "priority": 1-4, "message": "optional", "ttl": seconds}` |
| `/clear` | POST | Clear event: `{"id": "name"}` |
| `/clear-all` | POST | Clear all active events |
| `/notify` | POST | Notification with optional customization (see below) |
| `/sleep` | POST | Enter sleep mode |
| `/wake` | POST | Exit sleep mode |
| `/status` | GET | Current state JSON |
| `/events` | GET | List active events |
| `/docs` | GET | Interactive API documentation (Swagger UI) |
### `/notify` Endpoint
```json
{
"message": "Someone at the door",
"duration": 10,
"emote": "( °o°)",
"color": "#FF9900",
"animation": "popping",
"sound": "chime"
}
```
| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `message` | No | Text to display below emote |
| `duration` | No | Seconds before auto-expire (default: 5) |
| `emote` | No | Custom emote to display |
| `color` | No | Custom color (hex, e.g., `#FF9900`) |
| `animation` | No | One of: `breathing`, `shaking`, `popping`, `celebrating`, `floating`, `bouncing`, `swaying` |
| `sound` | No | One of: `chime`, `alert`, `warning`, `critical`, `success`, `notify`, `none` |
## Priority System
Lower number = higher priority. Events with a `ttl` auto-expire (heartbeat pattern).
| Priority | State | Emote | Color | Animation |
|----------|-------|-------|-------|-----------|
| 1 | Critical | `( x_x)` | Red | shaking |
| 2 | Warning | `( o_o)` | Yellow | breathing |
| 3 | Notify | `( 'o')` | Blue | popping |
| 4 | Optimal | varies | Green | varies |
## Personality System
The optimal state cycles through emotes with paired animations every 5 minutes:
| Emote | Animation | Vibe |
|-------|-----------|------|
| `( ^_^)` | breathing | calm |
| `( ˙▿˙)` | floating | content |
| `(◕‿◕)` | bouncing | cheerful |
| `( ・ω・)` | swaying | curious |
| `( ˘▽˘)` | breathing | cozy |
Additional states:
- **Idle expressions** (15% chance): `( -_^)`, `( ^_~)`, `( ᵕ.ᵕ)` with blink animation
- **Recovery celebration**: `\(^o^)/` with bounce for 5 seconds after issues resolve
- **Connection lost**: `( ?.?)` gray, searching animation
- **Sleep mode**: `( -_-)zzZ` dim, very slow breathing
## Home Assistant Integration
Add REST commands to `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
rest_command:
kao_notify:
url: "http://kao-host:5100/notify"
method: POST
content_type: "application/json"
payload: '{"message": "{{ message }}", "duration": {{ duration | default(5) }}}'
kao_sleep:
url: "http://kao-host:5100/sleep"
method: POST
kao_wake:
url: "http://kao-host:5100/wake"
method: POST
```
Use in automations:
```yaml
# Doorbell notification
- service: rest_command.kao_notify
data:
message: "Someone at the door"
duration: 10
# Bedtime routine
- service: rest_command.kao_sleep
# Morning routine
- service: rest_command.kao_wake
```
