+# Capture Reference
+
+Code-level details for VideoDB capture sessions. For workflow guide, see [capture.md](capture.md).
+
+---
+
+## WebSocket Events
+
+Real-time events from capture sessions and AI pipelines. No webhooks or polling required.
+
+Use [scripts/ws_listener.py](../scripts/ws_listener.py) to connect and dump events to `${VIDEODB_EVENTS_DIR:-$HOME/.local/state/videodb}/videodb_events.jsonl`.
+
+### Event Channels
+
+| Channel | Source | Content |
+|---------|--------|---------|
+| `capture_session` | Session lifecycle | Status changes |

+| `visual_index` / `scene_index` | `index_visuals()` | Visual analysis |
+| `audio_index` | `index_audio()` | Audio analysis |
+| `alert` | `create_alert()` | Alert notifications |
+
+### Session Lifecycle Events
+
+| Event | Status | Key Data |
+|-------|--------|----------|
+| `capture_session.created` | `created` | — |
+| `capture_session.starting` | `starting` | — |

+
+---
+
+## Event Persistence
+
+Use `ws_listener.py` to dump all WebSocket events to a JSONL file for later analysis.
+
+### Start Listener and Get WebSocket ID
+
+```bash
+# Start with --clear to clear old events (recommended for new sessions)
+python scripts/ws_listener.py --clear &
+
+# Append to existing events (for reconnects)
+python scripts/ws_listener.py &
+```
+
+Or specify a custom output directory:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/ws_listener.py --clear /path/to/output &
+# Or via environment variable:
+VIDEODB_EVENTS_DIR=/path/to/output python scripts/ws_listener.py --clear &
+```
+
+The script outputs `WS_ID=<connection_id>` on the first line, then listens indefinitely.
+
+**Get the ws_id:**
+```bash
+cat "${VIDEODB_EVENTS_DIR:-$HOME/.local/state/videodb}/videodb_ws_id"
+```
+
+**Stop the listener:**
+```bash
+kill "$(cat "${VIDEODB_EVENTS_DIR:-$HOME/.local/state/videodb}/videodb_ws_pid")"
+```
+
+**Functions that accept `ws_connection_id`:**
+
+| Function | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `conn.create_capture_session()` | Session lifecycle events |
+| RTStream methods | See [rtstream-reference.md](rtstream-reference.md) |
+
+**Output files** (in output directory, default `${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/videodb`):
+- `videodb_ws_id` - WebSocket connection ID
+- `videodb_events.jsonl` - All events
+- `videodb_ws_pid` - Process ID for easy termination
+
+**Features:**
+- `--clear` flag to clear events file on start (use for new sessions)
+- Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff on connection drops
+- Graceful shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM
+- Connection status logging
+
+### JSONL Format
+
+Each line is a JSON object with added timestamps:
+
+```json
+{"ts": "2026-03-02T10:15:30.123Z", "unix_ts": 1772446530.123, "channel": "visual_index", "data": {"text": "..."}}
+{"ts": "2026-03-02T10:15:31.456Z", "unix_ts": 1772446531.456, "event": "capture_session.active", "capture_session_id": "cap-xxx"}
+```
+
+### Reading Events
+
+```python
+import json
+import time
+from pathlib import Path
+
+events_path = Path.home() / ".local" / "state" / "videodb" / "videodb_events.jsonl"
+transcripts = []
+recent = []
+visual = []
+
+cutoff = time.time() - 600
+with events_path.open(encoding="utf-8") as handle:
+    for line in handle:
+        event = json.loads(line)
+        if event.get("channel") == "transcript":
+            transcripts.append(event)
+        if event.get("unix_ts", 0) > cutoff:
+            recent.append(event)
+        if (
+            event.get("channel") == "visual_index"
+            and "code" in event.get("data", {}).get("text", "").lower()
+        ):
+            visual.append(event)
+```
+

+
+## WebSocket Connection
+
+Connect to receive real-time AI results from transcription and indexing pipelines.
+
+```python
+ws_wrapper = conn.connect_websocket()
+ws = await ws_wrapper.connect()
+ws_id = ws.connection_id
+```
+
+| Property / Method | Type | Description |
+|-------------------|------|-------------|
+| `ws.connection_id` | `str` | Unique connection ID (pass to AI pipeline methods) |
+| `ws.receive()` | `AsyncIterator[dict]` | Async iterator yielding real-time messages |
+
+---
+
+## CaptureSession
+
+### Connection Methods
+
+| Method | Returns | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `conn.create_capture_session(end_user_id, collection_id, ws_connection_id, metadata)` | `CaptureSession` | Create a new capture session |
+| `conn.get_capture_session(capture_session_id)` | `CaptureSession` | Retrieve an existing capture session |
+| `conn.generate_client_token()` | `str` | Generate a client-side authentication token |
+
+### Create a Capture Session
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+ws_id = (Path.home() / ".local" / "state" / "videodb" / "videodb_ws_id").read_text().strip()
+
+session = conn.create_capture_session(
+    end_user_id="user-123",  # required
+    collection_id="default",
+    ws_connection_id=ws_id,
+    metadata={"app": "my-app"},
+)
+print(f"Session ID: {session.id}")
+```
+
+> **Note:** `end_user_id` is required and identifies the user initiating the capture. For testing or demo purposes, any unique string identifier works (e.g., `"demo-user"`, `"test-123"`).

+
+## RTStreams and AI Pipelines
+
+After session is active, retrieve RTStream objects with `session.get_rtstream()`.
+
+For RTStream methods (indexing, transcription, alerts, batch config), see [rtstream-reference.md](rtstream-reference.md).

+# Capture Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+VideoDB Capture enables real-time screen and audio recording with AI processing. Desktop capture currently supports **macOS** only.
+
+For code-level details (SDK methods, event structures, AI pipelines), see [capture-reference.md](capture-reference.md).
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. **Start WebSocket listener**: `python scripts/ws_listener.py --clear &`
+2. **Run capture code** (see Complete Capture Workflow below)
+3. **Events written to**: `/tmp/videodb_events.jsonl`
+
+---
+
+## Complete Capture Workflow
+
+No webhooks or polling required. WebSocket delivers all events including session lifecycle.
+
+> **CRITICAL:** The `CaptureClient` must remain running for the entire duration of the capture. It runs the local recorder binary that streams screen/audio data to VideoDB. If the Python process that created the `CaptureClient` exits, the recorder binary is killed and capture stops silently. Always run the capture code as a **long-lived background process** (e.g. `nohup python capture_script.py &`) and use signal handling (`asyncio.Event` + `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM`) to keep it alive until you explicitly stop it.
+
+1. **Start WebSocket listener** in background with `--clear` flag to clear old events. Wait for it to create the WebSocket ID file.
+
+2. **Read the WebSocket ID**. This ID is required for capture session and AI pipelines.
+
+3. **Create a capture session** and generate a client token for the desktop client.
+
+4. **Initialize CaptureClient** with the token. Request permissions for microphone and screen capture.
+
+5. **List and select channels** (mic, display, system_audio). Set `store = True` on channels you want to persist as a video.
+
+6. **Start the session** with selected channels.
+
+7. **Wait for session active** by reading events until you see `capture_session.active`. This event contains the `rtstreams` array. Save session info (session ID, RTStream IDs) to a file (e.g. `/tmp/videodb_capture_info.json`) so other scripts can read it.
+
+8. **Keep the process alive.** Use `asyncio.Event` with signal handlers for `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` to block until explicitly stopped. Write a PID file (e.g. `/tmp/videodb_capture_pid`) so the process can be stopped later with `kill $(cat /tmp/videodb_capture_pid)`. The PID file should be overwritten on every run so reruns always have the correct PID.
+
+9. **Start AI pipelines** (in a separate command/script) on each RTStream for audio indexing and visual indexing. Read the RTStream IDs from the saved session info file.
+
+10. **Write custom event processing logic** (in a separate command/script) to read real-time events based on your use case. Examples:
+    - Log Slack activity when `visual_index` mentions "Slack"
+    - Summarize discussions when `audio_index` events arrive
+    - Trigger alerts when specific keywords appear in `transcript`
+    - Track application usage from screen descriptions
+
+11. **Stop capture** when done — send SIGTERM to the capture process. It should call `client.stop_capture()` and `client.shutdown()` in its signal handler.
+
+12. **Wait for export** by reading events until you see `capture_session.exported`. This event contains `exported_video_id`, `stream_url`, and `player_url`. This may take several seconds after stopping capture.
+
+13. **Stop WebSocket listener** after receiving the export event. Use `kill $(cat /tmp/videodb_ws_pid)` to cleanly terminate it.
+
+---
+
+## Shutdown Sequence
+
+Proper shutdown order is important to ensure all events are captured:
+
+1. **Stop the capture session** — `client.stop_capture()` then `client.shutdown()`
+2. **Wait for export event** — poll `/tmp/videodb_events.jsonl` for `capture_session.exported`
+3. **Stop the WebSocket listener** — `kill $(cat /tmp/videodb_ws_pid)`
+
+Do NOT kill the WebSocket listener before receiving the export event, or you will miss the final video URLs.
+
+---
+
+## Scripts
+
+| Script | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `scripts/ws_listener.py` | WebSocket event listener (dumps to JSONL) |
+
+### ws_listener.py Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start listener in background (append to existing events)
+python scripts/ws_listener.py &
+
+# Start listener with clear (new session, clears old events)
+python scripts/ws_listener.py --clear &
+
+# Custom output directory
+python scripts/ws_listener.py --clear /path/to/events &
+
+# Stop the listener
+kill $(cat /tmp/videodb_ws_pid)
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `--clear`: Clear the events file before starting. Use when starting a new capture session.
+
+**Output files:**
+- `videodb_events.jsonl` - All WebSocket events
+- `videodb_ws_id` - WebSocket connection ID (for `ws_connection_id` parameter)
+- `videodb_ws_pid` - Process ID (for stopping the listener)
+
+**Features:**
+- Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff on connection drops
+- Graceful shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM
+- PID file for easy process management
+- Connection status logging
