"""self_main_loop.py — main-chat self-monitor loop.
Failure mode it escapes: main chat is the coordination surface, but if no
agent is actively watching it, questions / job assignments / alerts posted
there go unanswered.
How it works:
1. box drives a read of each watched agent's muse.ai Main chat on a timer
(via box-chat.py thread-messages <agent> main — existing machinery).
2. On NEW messages since the per-agent watermark, the loop composes a
concise digest and posts it to that agent's prompting sidechat
(via dm.py send, opm browser as neutral sender — mirrors box notify).
3. The prompt in the sidechat triggers the operator to DM / use box
against main chat. In such, we escape the failure mode.
State: /home/super/Projects/NetVM/self-main-loop-watermark.json
{ "config": {...}, "agents": {agent: {"last_id","last_ts"}},
"last_run": iso, "last_result": {...} }
First run per agent starts at the current newest message (no backfill spam).
Contract:
- No new messages -> silent (no sidechat post), exit 0.
- Digests sent -> exit 0 (success; prompted count in JSON).
- Read/send error -> logged to stderr, exit 2 (timer stays alive).
- Overlap guard: fcntl LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB on a lockfile; a second
concurrent run prints {"ok": false, "skipped": "already running"}
and exits 0.
stdout is always a single JSON object (box-ctl.py parses it); logs go to
stderr (systemd journal).
