-# Signal (signal-cli)
-
-Status: external CLI integration. Gateway talks to `signal-cli` over HTTP JSON-RPC + SSE.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Symi installed on your server (Linux flow below tested on Ubuntu 24).
-- `signal-cli` available on the host where the gateway runs.
-- A phone number that can receive one verification SMS (for SMS registration path).
-- Browser access for Signal captcha (`signalcaptchas.org`) during registration.
-
-## Onboarding
-
-1. Use a **separate Signal number** for the bot (recommended).
-2. Install `signal-cli` (Java required if you use the JVM build).
-3. Choose one setup path:
-   - **Path A (QR link):** `signal-cli link -n "Symi"` and scan with Signal.
-   - **Path B (SMS register):** register a dedicated number with captcha + SMS verification.
-4. Configure Symi and restart the gateway.
-5. Send a first DM and approve pairing (`symi pairing approve signal <CODE>`).
-
-Minimal config:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    signal: {
-      enabled: true,
-      account: "+15551234567",
-      cliPath: "signal-cli",
-      dmPolicy: "pairing",
-      allowFrom: ["+15557654321"],
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-Field reference:
-
-| Field       | Description                                       |
-| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
-| `account`   | Bot phone number in E.164 format (`+15551234567`) |
-| `cliPath`   | Path to `signal-cli` (`signal-cli` if on `PATH`)  |
-| `dmPolicy`  | DM access policy (`pairing` recommended)          |
-| `allowFrom` | Phone numbers or `uuid:<id>` values allowed to DM |
-
-## What it is
-
-- Signal channel via `signal-cli` (not embedded libsignal).
-- Deterministic routing: replies always go back to Signal.
-- DMs share the agent's main session; groups are isolated (`agent:<agentId>:signal:group:<groupId>`).
-
-## Config writes
-
-By default, Signal is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
-
-Disable with:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: { signal: { configWrites: false } },
-}
-```
-
-## The number model (important)
-
-- The gateway connects to a **Signal device** (the `signal-cli` account).
-- If you run the bot on **your personal Signal account**, it will ignore your own messages (loop protection).
-- For "I text the bot and it replies," use a **separate bot number**.
-
-## Onboarding (option A): link existing Signal account (QR)
-
-1. Install `signal-cli` (JVM or native build).
-2. Link a bot account:
-   - `signal-cli link -n "Symi"` then scan the QR in Signal.
-3. Configure Signal and start the gateway.
-
-Example:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    signal: {
-      enabled: true,
-      account: "+15551234567",
-      cliPath: "signal-cli",
-      dmPolicy: "pairing",
-      allowFrom: ["+15557654321"],
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Onboarding (option B): register dedicated bot number (SMS, Linux)
-
-Use this when you want a dedicated bot number instead of linking an existing Signal app account.
-
-1. Get a number that can receive SMS (or voice verification for landlines).
-   - Use a dedicated bot number to avoid account/session conflicts.
-2. Install `signal-cli` on the gateway host:
-
-```bash
-VERSION=$(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/releases/latest | sed -e 's/^.*\/v//')
-curl -L -O "https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/releases/download/v${VERSION}/signal-cli-${VERSION}-Linux-native.tar.gz"
-sudo tar xf "signal-cli-${VERSION}-Linux-native.tar.gz" -C /opt
-sudo ln -sf /opt/signal-cli /usr/local/bin/
-signal-cli --version
-```
-
-If you use the JVM build (`signal-cli-${VERSION}.tar.gz`), install JRE 25+ first.
-Keep `signal-cli` updated; upstream notes that old releases can break as Signal server APIs change.
-
-3. Register and verify the number:
-
-```bash
-signal-cli -a +<BOT_PHONE_NUMBER> register
-```
-
-If captcha is required:
-
-1. Open `https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html`.
-2. Complete captcha, copy the `signalcaptcha://...` link target from "Open Signal".
-3. Run from the same external IP as the browser session when possible.
-4. Run registration again immediately (captcha tokens expire quickly):
-
-```bash
-signal-cli -a +<BOT_PHONE_NUMBER> register --captcha '<SIGNALCAPTCHA_URL>'
-signal-cli -a +<BOT_PHONE_NUMBER> verify <VERIFICATION_CODE>
-```
-
-4. Configure Symi, restart gateway, verify channel:
-
-```bash
-# If you run the gateway as a user systemd service:
-systemctl --user restart symi-gateway
-
-# Then verify:
-symi doctor
-symi channels status --probe
-```
-
-5. Pair your DM sender:
-   - Send any message to the bot number.
-   - Approve code on the server: `symi pairing approve signal <PAIRING_CODE>`.
-   - Save the bot number as a contact on your phone to avoid "Unknown contact".
-
-Important: registering a phone number account with `signal-cli` can de-authenticate the main Signal app session for that number. Prefer a dedicated bot number, or use QR link mode if you need to keep your existing phone app setup.

-
-## External daemon mode (httpUrl)
-
-If you want to manage `signal-cli` yourself (slow JVM cold starts, container init, or shared CPUs), run the daemon separately and point Symi at it:
-
-```json5
-{
-  channels: {
-    signal: {
-      httpUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
-      autoStart: false,
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-This skips auto-spawn and the startup wait inside Symi. For slow starts when auto-spawning, set `channels.signal.startupTimeoutMs`.
-
-## Access control (DMs + groups)
-
-DMs:
-
-- Default: `channels.signal.dmPolicy = "pairing"`.
-- Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
-- Approve via:
-  - `symi pairing list signal`
-  - `symi pairing approve signal <CODE>`
-- Pairing is the default token exchange for Signal DMs. Details: [Pairing](/channels/pairing)
-- UUID-only senders (from `sourceUuid`) are stored as `uuid:<id>` in `channels.signal.allowFrom`.
-
-Groups:
-
-- `channels.signal.groupPolicy = open | allowlist | disabled`.
-- `channels.signal.groupAllowFrom` controls who can trigger in groups when `allowlist` is set.
-
-## How it works (behavior)
-
-- `signal-cli` runs as a daemon; the gateway reads events via SSE.
-- Inbound messages are normalized into the shared channel envelope.
-- Replies always route back to the same number or group.
-
-## Media + limits
-
-- Outbound text is chunked to `channels.signal.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
-- Optional newline chunking: set `channels.signal.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
-- Attachments supported (base64 fetched from `signal-cli`).
-- Default media cap: `channels.signal.mediaMaxMb` (default 8).
-- Use `channels.signal.ignoreAttachments` to skip downloading media.
-- Group history context uses `channels.signal.historyLimit` (or `channels.signal.accounts.*.historyLimit`), falling back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
-
-## Typing + read receipts
-
-- **Typing indicators**: Symi sends typing signals via `signal-cli sendTyping` and refreshes them while a reply is running.
-- **Read receipts**: when `channels.signal.sendReadReceipts` is true, Symi forwards read receipts for allowed DMs.
-- Signal-cli does not expose read receipts for groups.
-
-## Reactions (message tool)
-
-- Use `message action=react` with `channel=signal`.
-- Targets: sender E.164 or UUID (use `uuid:<id>` from pairing output; bare UUID works too).
-- `messageId` is the Signal timestamp for the message you’re reacting to.
-- Group reactions require `targetAuthor` or `targetAuthorUuid`.
-
-Examples:
-
-```
-message action=react channel=signal target=uuid:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000 messageId=1737630212345 emoji=🔥
-message action=react channel=signal target=+15551234567 messageId=1737630212345 emoji=🔥 remove=true
-message action=react channel=signal target=signal:group:<groupId> targetAuthor=uuid:<sender-uuid> messageId=1737630212345 emoji=✅
-```
-
-Config:
-
-- `channels.signal.actions.reactions`: enable/disable reaction actions (default true).
-- `channels.signal.reactionLevel`: `off | ack | minimal | extensive`.
-  - `off`/`ack` disables agent reactions (message tool `react` will error).
-  - `minimal`/`extensive` enables agent reactions and sets the guidance level.
-- Per-account overrides: `channels.signal.accounts.<id>.actions.reactions`, `channels.signal.accounts.<id>.reactionLevel`.
-
-## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
-
-- DMs: `signal:+15551234567` (or plain E.164).
-- UUID DMs: `uuid:<id>` (or bare UUID).
-- Groups: `signal:group:<groupId>`.
-- Usernames: `username:<name>` (if supported by your Signal account).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-Run this ladder first:
-
-```bash
-symi status
-symi gateway status
-symi logs --follow
-symi doctor
-symi channels status --probe
-```
-
-Then confirm DM pairing state if needed:
-
-```bash
-symi pairing list signal
-```
-
-Common failures:
-
-- Daemon reachable but no replies: verify account/daemon settings (`httpUrl`, `account`) and receive mode.
-- DMs ignored: sender is pending pairing approval.
-- Group messages ignored: group sender/mention gating blocks delivery.
-- Config validation errors after edits: run `symi doctor --fix`.
-- Signal missing from diagnostics: confirm `channels.signal.enabled: true`.
-
-Extra checks:
-
-```bash
-symi pairing list signal
-pgrep -af signal-cli
-grep -i "signal" "/tmp/symi/symi-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log" | tail -20
-```
-

-
-## Security notes
-
-- `signal-cli` stores account keys locally (typically `~/.local/share/signal-cli/data/`).
-- Back up Signal account state before server migration or rebuild.
-- Keep `channels.signal.dmPolicy: "pairing"` unless you explicitly want broader DM access.
-- SMS verification is only needed for registration or recovery flows, but losing control of the number/account can complicate re-registration.
