# Veskslop daemon

The external daemon and the development spikes. The daemon holds all logic and exposes MCP.

Read the project docs first: [../docs/INDEX.md](../docs/INDEX.md).

## Setup

```sh
pnpm install
```

## Run commands

| Command | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `pnpm poc:qr` | QR login. Writes the token file. |
| `pnpm control:bridge` | Start the daemon. It listens on `http://127.0.0.1:8788/mcp`. |
| `pnpm poc:dm` | Send one test DM to zzib. |
| `pnpm test:comm` | Run the unit tests for the pure logic. |
| `pnpm cdp:probe` | Check CDP access and event delivery. |
| `pnpm check` | Type check the daemon code. |

## Transport

The daemon uses Chrome DevTools Protocol at this time. Start the client with
`--remote-debugging-port=9222`. The daemon connects to the Discord page and runs the actions in the
real client.

The target transport is the validated core bridge. See
[../docs/core-bridge.md](../docs/core-bridge.md). The daemon logic is the same on both transports.

## Pacing

Every command gets a random delay of 500 to 2800 ms. One queue serializes the commands. The queue
coalesces identical concurrent reads. State reads use the cache. `DEBUG=1` logs each command and
its delay.

## Live test target

The only permitted live-send target is user zzib. See
[../docs/testing.md](../docs/testing.md) for the full setup.

## Verified

- QR login works end-to-end. The token came from a phone scan.
- The CDP transport works. `get_state` returned the real account and 7 guilds. `send_dm` delivered
  a real DM to zzib.
- Pacing stayed inside the 500 to 2800 ms window.

## Findings

- Official `discord.js` is bot-only. It fails at login with a user token. The popular selfbot fork
  is archived. Do not use either. The core is the real Vesktop client.
- MCP SDK `1.30.0` Streamable HTTP works as used here.
- CDP gives control and events with no Vesktop patch. Raw CDP has no guardrails. The validated core
  bridge is the target for this reason.
- pnpm 11: this folder is its own workspace root. Build approvals live in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`
  (`allowBuilds`).
