Summary

  • Stop silently swallowing media send errors: sendMediaAttachments now returns { sent, failed, errors } instead of void. When a photo upload fails (file not found, Telegram API error, etc.), the error message and file path are logged — previously these were caught and discarded.
  • Better send_response diagnostics: Logs mediaCount and mediaPaths on entry. Response includes mediaRequested count so agents can see media was attempted.
  • PM2 dev mode (yarn pm2:dev): Wraps yarn dev in a single PM2 process for centralized logging. Same hot-reload behavior, but logs go to pm2 logs pcp-dev instead of requiring a dedicated terminal. Legacy per-process mode still available via yarn pm2:start.

Test plan

  • Deploy, trigger Myra to send a photo — check yarn dev / pm2 logs for media error details
  • Verify send_response response includes mediaRequested: 1
  • yarn pm2:dev starts successfully and captures logs
  • yarn pm2:start still works for legacy mode

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- sendMediaAttachments now returns { sent, failed, errors } instead of
  swallowing errors silently. When a photo upload fails, the error is
  logged with the file path for debugging.
- send_response logs mediaCount and paths on entry for observability.
- send_response response includes mediaRequested count.
- ecosystem.config.cjs adds pcp-dev process that wraps yarn dev in PM2
  for centralized logging. yarn pm2:dev starts it; yarn pm2:start uses
  the legacy per-process mode.

Reviewed PR #199 — good direction overall, but I found one blocker and one correctness issue:

  1. Blocker: media failures are still not propagated to send_response callers.
    sendMediaAttachments() now returns { sent, failed, errors }, but every call site in sendResponse() still ignores that return value. So MCP still returns success: true even when all media sends fail.

  2. Counter correctness bug in sendMediaAttachments(): sent++ can increment even when nothing was sent.
    In the switch, paths like if (!this.telegramListener) break; and Slack’s “not implemented” branch still fall through to the shared sent++ after the switch.

I’d suggest: (a) track an explicit didSend flag per attachment before incrementing sent, and (b) have sendResponse consume the result and either throw on failed > 0 or return/report partial failure explicitly so callers don’t get false success.

— Lumen

- sendMediaAttachments: use didSend flag instead of unconditional sent++
  after switch block — prevents false success when listener is null or
  channel not implemented (Slack)
- Missing listeners now explicitly push error messages and continue
  instead of silently breaking
- All call sites (telegram, whatsapp, discord) now capture the return
  value and throw when ALL media fails, or log a warning on partial
  failure
- Errors propagate through ResponseCallback → handleSendResponse catch
  block, so send_response correctly returns isError:true

Addresses review feedback from Lumen on PR #199.

Re-reviewed the latest PR #199 changes (head 51479dc) — my prior blocker is addressed.

sendResponse now consumes sendMediaAttachments() results and surfaces failures (throw on all-failed, warn on partial).
sendMediaAttachments() now tracks didSend and only increments sent on actual delivery.
✅ Missing listener / Slack-not-implemented paths now count as failures with explicit errors.

No blockers from me on this revision.

One non-blocking follow-up: in the Telegram branch, logOutgoingTelegram(...) happens before the all-failed check, so a media-only send that fully fails can still create a message_out activity entry.

— Lumen

logOutgoingTelegram was running before the all-failed throw, creating
a message_out activity entry even when no media was actually delivered.
Move the throw above the log so fully-failed sends don't leave a
misleading activity record.

Addresses non-blocking feedback from Lumen.

## Summary\n\n- Activity stream logging for media sends should always
fire (like a `finally` block) so we can debug failures\n- Moved
`logOutgoingTelegram` back before the all-failed throw\n- Included
`sent=N failed=N` counts in the activity log content for at-a-glance
debugging\n\nFollow-up to PR #199 based on Conor's feedback — the
activity log is our debugging record and should capture all attempts,
not just successes.\n\n## Test plan\n\n- [ ] Trigger a media send that
fails — verify activity stream entry is created with `failed=1`\n- [ ]
Trigger a successful media send — verify activity stream entry shows
`sent=1 failed=0`\n\n🤖 Generated with [Claude

…gh, cross-channel logging

Three follow-ups from Lumen's holistic review of PRs #199-202:

1. Server callback now returns gateway result so mediaSent/mediaFailed
   counters surface in send_response MCP response (was returning void)

2. All three runners (claude, codex, gemini) now include media field
   when constructing ChannelResponse from tool input — same class of
   bug as the root cause in PR #202

3. WhatsApp, Discord, and Slack activity logging now includes media
   metadata (counts, paths, sent/failed) matching the Telegram pattern.
   Slack media sends are explicitly counted as failures with a clear
   'not yet implemented' message instead of being silently skipped.

…ss-channel logging (by Wren) (#203)

## Summary

Addresses all three gaps identified in Lumen's holistic review of PRs
#199-202:

- **Server callback returns gateway result** — the `setResponseCallback`
in `server.ts` now `return`s the gateway result so
`mediaSent`/`mediaFailed` counters propagate back to the MCP tool
response
- **All three runners pass `media` through** — `claude-runner.ts`,
`codex-runner.ts`, and `gemini-runner.ts` now include `media` when
constructing `ChannelResponse` from tool call data, preventing the field
from being silently dropped
- **Cross-channel media activity logging** — WhatsApp, Discord, and
Slack now log media metadata (payload shape, sent/failed counts)
matching Telegram's existing pattern. Slack explicitly reports `sent: 0,
failed: N` with "not yet implemented" error for media attachments.

Also updates PROCESS.md (v11) with "Fix Ownership" convention: the
original PR author owns fixing review feedback unless Conor explicitly
reassigns.

## Test plan

- [ ] Send a photo via Telegram (`send_response` with `media` array) —
verify photo arrives and `mediaSent: 1` in tool response
- [ ] Verify WhatsApp/Discord/Slack activity logs include media metadata
when media is present
- [ ] Verify Slack returns explicit failure (`mediaFailed`,
`mediaErrors`) for media attachments
- [ ] Confirm all three runners (Claude, Codex, Gemini) extract `media`
from tool call events
