+# Cron Trigger Pipeline: How It Works and How to Make It Robust
+
+## Current Architecture: Skill Events → Trigger Registration
+
+The pipeline has **two paths** for getting a cron trigger loaded, plus a **polling loop** that actually fires them.
+
+### Path 1: Bulk load at startup (EOSE-driven)
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Main as main.c startup
+    participant NH as nostr_handler
+    participant Relays as Nostr Relays
+    participant TM as trigger_manager
+
+    Main->>TM: trigger_manager_init - capacity=16, last_poll_at=0
+    Main->>TM: trigger_manager_load_from_startup_events
+    Note over TM: Loads triggers from genesis startup_events<br/>only dm triggers typically here
+    Main->>NH: nostr_handler_set_self_skill_eose_callback<br/>registers on_self_skill_eose_load_triggers
+    Main->>NH: nostr_handler_subscribe_self_skills
+    NH->>Relays: REQ kinds 31123, 31124, 10123<br/>authors = agent pubkey
+    Relays-->>NH: EVENT skill events arrive one by one
+    NH->>NH: on_self_skill_event for each<br/>caches in g_self_skill_events<br/>calls register_trigger_from_self_skill_event
+    Relays-->>NH: EOSE
+    NH->>NH: on_self_skill_eose sets g_self_skill_eose_received=1
+    NH->>Main: calls on_self_skill_eose_load_triggers callback
+    Main->>TM: trigger_manager_load_from_skills<br/>reads ALL cached skills via<br/>nostr_handler_get_self_events_by_kind_json
+    Note over TM: For each skill with trigger+filter tags:<br/>calls trigger_manager_add
+    Main->>Main: nostr_handler_wait_for_self_skill_eose returns 0
+    Main->>Main: Startup step 14 passes
+    Main->>Main: Enter main poll loop
+```
+
+### Path 2: Live skill event (post-startup)
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Relays as Nostr Relays
+    participant NH as nostr_handler
+    participant TM as trigger_manager
+
+    Note over NH: Subscription stays open after EOSE
+    Relays-->>NH: New/updated skill EVENT arrives
+    NH->>NH: on_self_skill_event
+    NH->>NH: register_trigger_from_self_skill_event
+    Note over NH: Checks: kind 31123/31124?<br/>Has trigger+filter tags?<br/>Is adopted via kind 10123?
+    NH->>TM: trigger_manager_add or update
+    NH->>NH: self_skill_cache_upsert_event_locked
+```
+
+### Path 3: Cron polling in main loop
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Main as main loop
+    participant TM as trigger_manager
+    participant Agent as agent.c
+
+    loop Every iteration
+        Main->>TM: trigger_manager_poll
+        Note over TM: Throttled to once per 30 seconds
+        TM->>TM: For each trigger where type==CRON:<br/>1. Validate cron_expr<br/>2. Check cron_matches_now<br/>3. Check last_cron_fire dedup - 50s guard
+        TM->>Agent: execute_llm_action with synthetic cron event
+    end
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Six Failure Points
+
+I have identified six places where a cron trigger can silently fail to load or fire. They are ordered from most likely to least likely given the logs from laantungir.net.
+
+### 1. EOSE timeout kills startup entirely
+
+**Where:** [`main.c:1494–1515`](src/main.c:1494)
+
+The agent waits 15 seconds for self-skill EOSE. If relays are slow or the connection is flaky, this times out and **the entire agent process exits**:
+
+```c
+const int self_skill_eose_timeout_ms = 15000;
+if (nostr_handler_wait_for_self_skill_eose(self_skill_eose_timeout_ms) != 0) {
+    // ... prints error, cleans up, return 1
+}
+```
+
+From [`debug.log`](debug.log) line 670:
+```
+[2026-04-06 16:16:49] [ERROR] startup checklist [14] Subscribe self-skill cache: failed
+    (self-skill EOSE not received within timeout)
+```
+
+**Impact:** If the agent crashes at startup, no triggers load at all. If systemd restarts it and it crashes again, you get a restart loop with zero cron execution.
+
+### 2. Adoption check gates live trigger registration
+
+**Where:** [`nostr_handler.c:1462`](src/nostr_handler.c:1462)
+
+When a skill event arrives live via [`on_self_skill_event()`](src/nostr_handler.c:2428), it calls [`register_trigger_from_self_skill_event()`](src/nostr_handler.c:1418) which checks:
+
+```c
+if (!self_skill_is_adopted_local(kind_val, pubkey->valuestring, d_tag)) {
+    DEBUG_INFO("live self-skill trigger ignored (not adopted) d_tag=%s", d_tag);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+[`self_skill_is_adopted_local()`](src/nostr_handler.c:1366) scans `g_self_skill_events` for a kind 10123 event with an `["a", "31123:<pubkey>:<d_tag>"]` tag. If the adoption event hasn't arrived yet (race condition — skill event arrives before adoption event), the trigger is silently skipped.
+
+**Critically:** The bulk load path in [`trigger_manager_load_from_skills()`](src/trigger_manager.c:818) does **NOT** check adoption at all — it loads every skill with trigger+filter tags. So the adoption gate only affects the live path.
+
+### 3. Bulk load is one-shot with `loaded_once` guard
+
+**Where:** [`main.c:42`](src/main.c:42)
+
+```c
+if (ctx->loaded_once) {
+    DEBUG_TRACE("deferred trigger load skipped (already loaded once)");
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+The EOSE callback fires once, calls [`trigger_manager_load_from_skills()`](src/trigger_manager.c:818), sets `loaded_once = 1`, and never runs again. If a skill event arrives **after** EOSE but **before** the live path processes it, it falls into a gap:
+- The bulk load already ran and won't run again
+- The live [`register_trigger_from_self_skill_event()`](src/nostr_handler.c:1418) may reject it due to the adoption check
+
+### 4. Cron expression validation rejects silently at add time
+
+**Where:** [`trigger_manager.c:1106–1112`](src/trigger_manager.c:1106)
+
+```c
+if (t->trigger_type == TRIGGER_TYPE_CRON) {
+    if (!cron_expr_is_valid(filter_json, normalized_cron, sizeof(normalized_cron))) {
+        DEBUG_WARN("trigger add rejected: invalid cron expression d_tag=%s expr=%s", ...);
+        memset(t, 0, sizeof(*t));
+        return -1;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This does log a warning, but the caller in [`trigger_manager_load_from_skills()`](src/trigger_manager.c:896) just silently skips to the next skill. The `considered` count increments but `loaded` does not — the only evidence is in the log line `trigger manager loaded X trigger(s) from self skills (considered=Y)` where X < Y.
+
+The existing plan in [`fix_cron_triggers_not_firing.md`](plans/fix_cron_triggers_not_firing.md) documents that a bare `*` was being used instead of `* * * * *`, and that shorthand expansion was added. This has been fixed.
+
+### 5. Poll throttle delays first evaluation by up to 30 seconds
+
+**Where:** [`trigger_manager.c:1395`](src/trigger_manager.c:1395)
+
+```c
+if (mgr->last_poll_at > 0 && (now - mgr->last_poll_at) < 30) {
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+After init, `last_poll_at` starts at 0 (fixed from the original bug where it was `time(NULL)`), so the first poll runs immediately. But subsequent polls are throttled to every 30 seconds. For a daily cron this is fine, but it means the cron match window is checked at most twice per minute.
+
+### 6. Cron dedup guard can skip legitimate fires
+
+**Where:** [`trigger_manager.c:1422`](src/trigger_manager.c:1422)
+
+```c
+if (t->last_cron_fire > 0 && (now - t->last_cron_fire) < 50) {
+    continue;
+}
+```
+
+With a 30-second poll interval and a 50-second dedup window, a cron that matches at minute X will fire once and then be suppressed for the next poll. This is correct behavior for preventing double-fires within the same minute. But if the system clock jumps or NTP adjusts, this could cause unexpected skips.
+
+---
+
+## Robustness Suggestions
+
+### A. Retry EOSE with backoff instead of hard abort
+
+**Current:** EOSE timeout → process exit.
+**Proposed:** Retry 2–3 times with increasing timeout (15s, 30s, 60s). If all retries fail, start the agent in degraded mode with only startup-config triggers active, and schedule a background re-attempt.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    SUB[Subscribe self-skills] --> WAIT{Wait for EOSE}
+    WAIT -->|Received| LOAD[Load triggers from skills]
+    WAIT -->|Timeout 15s| RETRY1{Retry 1 - 30s timeout}
+    RETRY1 -->|Received| LOAD
+    RETRY1 -->|Timeout| RETRY2{Retry 2 - 60s timeout}
+    RETRY2 -->|Received| LOAD
+    RETRY2 -->|Timeout| DEGRADED[Start in degraded mode<br/>startup triggers only<br/>schedule background retry]
+    LOAD --> READY[Agent READY]
+    DEGRADED --> READY
+```
+
+### B. Remove adoption gate from live trigger registration
+
+The bulk load path doesn't check adoption. The live path does. This inconsistency means a skill created via `skill_create` with `auto_adopt=true` might not register its trigger if the adoption event arrives on a different relay or with different timing.
+
+**Proposed:** Either:
+1. Remove the adoption check from [`register_trigger_from_self_skill_event()`](src/nostr_handler.c:1462) to match the bulk path, OR
+2. Add the adoption check to the bulk path too for consistency, but with a fallback: if adoption events haven't loaded yet, defer the check.
+
+Option 1 is simpler and more robust. The agent already only subscribes to its own pubkey's events, so all skills in the cache are self-authored.
+
+### C. Allow re-running bulk trigger load
+
+Remove the `loaded_once` guard or replace it with a debounced re-load. When new skill events arrive after EOSE, schedule a re-scan of all cached skills after a short delay (e.g., 5 seconds). This closes the gap between EOSE and late-arriving events.
+
+### D. Add a periodic trigger reconciliation
+
+Every N minutes (e.g., 5), compare the set of cached skills that have trigger+filter tags against the active trigger list. Register any missing triggers. This is a safety net that catches any trigger that was missed during startup.
+
+```c
+// In trigger_manager_poll, after cron evaluation:
+if (now - mgr->last_reconcile_at > 300) {
+    trigger_manager_load_from_skills(mgr);  // idempotent via update path
+    mgr->last_reconcile_at = now;
+}
+```
+
+### E. Log trigger registration summary at startup
+
+After the deferred trigger load, log not just the count but also which trigger types were loaded:
+
+```
+trigger manager loaded 3 trigger(s): dm=2 cron=1 webhook=0 chain=0 nostr-sub=0
+```
+
+This makes it immediately obvious from the log whether a cron trigger was picked up.
+
+### F. Add an HTTP API endpoint for trigger status
+
+Expose `/api/triggers` that returns the same JSON as the `trigger_list` tool. This allows external monitoring (e.g., a health check script) to verify that expected cron triggers are loaded without going through the LLM.
+
+---
+
+## Summary of What Happened on laantungir.net
+
+Based on the logs:
+
+1. The agent started successfully multiple times (startup step 14 passed with `skills=3 adoptions=1` or similar).
+2. The deferred trigger load status shows **only dm-type triggers** were loaded — no cron triggers appear in any log entry.
+3. On 2026-04-06, the agent failed at startup step 14 with EOSE timeout, meaning it never even got to trigger loading.
+4. There is **zero** evidence of `cron trigger matched` or `cron trigger skipped` in any log file, confirming the cron trigger was never in the active trigger set.
+
+The most likely explanation: the cron skill event exists on relays but either:
+- It was missing the `["trigger", "cron"]` and/or `["filter", "<expr>"]` tags when it was published
+- It was not adopted (no kind 10123 event referencing it) and arrived via the live path where adoption is checked
+- The cron expression was invalid and was silently rejected at add time
+- The EOSE timeout prevented the agent from ever reaching the trigger loading phase
+
+Running `trigger_list` on the live server will definitively answer which of these is the case.

+# NIP-17 Gift Wrap Send Failure — Investigation
+
+## Status: Resolved — Fixed in code (2026-04-11)
+
+## Date Discovered: 2026-04-11
+
+## Symptom
+
+Every outbound NIP-17 DM send from the Anvil agent fails with:
+```
+NIP-17 send aborted: gift_wrap creation failed for 1ec454734dcbf6fe...
+auto DM fallback to NIP-04 for 1ec454734dcbf6fe... after NIP-17 send failure
+```
+
+The agent successfully falls back to NIP-04 (kind 4), so DMs are still delivered. However, NIP-17 outbound is completely broken.
+
+**Inbound NIP-17 works fine** — the agent successfully receives and decrypts kind 1059 gift wraps from the admin.
+
+## Affected Code Path
+
+### Send path (broken):
+1. `nostr_handler_send_dm_auto_with_role()` in `src/nostr_handler.c:3193` — routes to NIP-17 when `dm_protocol` is `nip17` or `both`
+2. `nostr_handler_send_dm_nip17_with_role()` in `src/nostr_handler.c:4050` — creates chat event, calls `nostr_nip17_send_dm()`
+3. `nostr_nip17_send_dm()` in `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip017.c:260` — iterates recipients, creates seal + gift wrap
+4. `nostr_nip59_create_seal()` in `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip059.c:150` — **encrypts rumor JSON with NIP-44**
+5. `nostr_nip59_create_gift_wrap()` in `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip059.c:226` — wraps seal with random key
+
+### Receive path (working):
+1. `on_event()` receives kind 1059
+2. `nostr_nip17_receive_dm()` in `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip017.c:326` — unwraps gift, unseals rumor
+3. Successfully extracts kind 14 content
+
+## Probable Root Cause: Fixed Buffer Overflow in Seal Encryption
+
+In `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip059.c:163-165`:
+
+```c
+char encrypted_content[4096]; // Should be large enough for most events
+int encrypt_result = nostr_nip44_encrypt(sender_private_key, recipient_public_key,
+                                        rumor_json, encrypted_content, sizeof(encrypted_content));
+```
+
+The seal creation uses a **fixed 4096-byte stack buffer** for the NIP-44 encrypted output. The rumor JSON includes the full DM message content. When the agent sends long responses (the FIPS mesh conversation had multi-KB markdown tables), the rumor JSON easily exceeds 4096 bytes after NIP-44 encryption overhead (base64 encoding roughly 4/3x expansion + padding + nonce).
+
+**Evidence:**
+- The agent's DM responses in the log were 2-5KB of markdown content
+- After JSON serialization of the kind 14 rumor (adding pubkey, tags, created_at, kind fields), the total is larger
+- NIP-44 encryption adds: 32-byte nonce + padding + base64 encoding → roughly 1.5-2x expansion
+- A 3KB message → ~4.5KB rumor JSON → ~6-9KB encrypted → overflows 4096 buffer
+- `nostr_nip44_encrypt()` returns error, `nostr_nip59_create_seal()` returns NULL
+- `nostr_nip17_send_dm()` skips the recipient, returns 0 wraps
+- `nostr_handler_send_dm_nip17_with_role()` logs "gift_wrap creation failed"
+
+**Why receive works:** The receive path uses `nostr_nip44_decrypt()` which likely allocates dynamically or has a larger buffer.
+
+## Secondary Suspect: NIP-44 Encryption Implementation
+
+The NIP-44 encrypt function itself may have issues with large payloads. Need to check:
+- `nostr_nip44_encrypt()` in `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip044.c`
+- Whether it handles the output buffer size parameter correctly
+- Whether it returns an error code that distinguishes "buffer too small" from other failures
+
+## Anvil Config Context
+
+The Anvil agent's genesis config (`/home/user/anvil/genesis.jsonc`) has:
+```json
+"dm_protocol": "nip04"
+```
+
+But the encrypted user-settings on Nostr (kind 30078) may have overridden this to `"both"` at runtime, which is why NIP-17 send is being attempted.
+
+## Recommended Fix
+
+### Option A: Dynamic allocation (preferred)
+Replace the fixed 4096-byte buffer in `nostr_nip59_create_seal()` with dynamic allocation:
+```c
+size_t rumor_len = strlen(rumor_json);
+size_t encrypted_buf_size = rumor_len * 2 + 256; // generous overhead for NIP-44
+char* encrypted_content = malloc(encrypted_buf_size);
+```
+
+### Option B: Larger fixed buffer (quick fix)
+Increase the buffer to 64KB or 128KB:
+```c
+char encrypted_content[131072]; // 128KB should handle any reasonable DM
+```
+Note: This is a stack allocation, so very large buffers could cause stack overflow.
+
+### Also check `nostr_nip59_create_gift_wrap()`
+The gift wrap function at `nip059.c:226` may have a similar fixed-buffer issue for encrypting the seal JSON.
+
+## Log Evidence
+
+From `/home/user/anvil/debug.log` (2026-04-11):
+
+```
+[2026-04-11 09:45:14] [WARN ] NIP-17 send aborted: gift_wrap creation failed for 1ec454734dcbf6fe...
+[2026-04-11 09:45:14] [WARN ] auto DM fallback to NIP-04 for 1ec454734dcbf6fe... after NIP-17 send failure
+[2026-04-11 09:50:16] [WARN ] NIP-17 send aborted: gift_wrap creation failed for 1ec454734dcbf6fe...

+[2026-04-11 09:53:42] [WARN ] auto DM fallback to NIP-04 for 1ec454734dcbf6fe... after NIP-17 send failure
+```
+
+This pattern is 100% consistent — every outbound NIP-17 attempt fails, every time.

+## Related Existing Plan
+
+The `plans/nip17_messaging.md` document covers the original NIP-17 implementation. This investigation is specifically about the send-side gift wrap failure that emerged in production.
+
+## Resolution Summary
+
+Implemented in `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip059.c`:
+
+- Replaced fixed encryption buffers in `nostr_nip59_create_seal()` and `nostr_nip59_create_gift_wrap()` with dynamically sized heap buffers calculated from NIP-44 padding/base64 overhead.
+- Replaced fixed decrypt buffers in `nostr_nip59_unwrap_gift()` and `nostr_nip59_unseal_rumor()` with dynamic buffers sized from ciphertext length.
+- Added missing cleanup path in `nostr_nip59_create_seal()` for failure after encryption allocation.
+
+Expected outcome: outbound NIP-17 gift wrap creation no longer fails for multi-KB DM payloads due to fixed buffer limits.

 ## Background
 
-Didactyl currently uses NIP-04 (kind 4) for all DM communication. NIP-17 send support exists via `nostr_handler_send_dm_nip17()` and the `nostr_dm_send_nip17` tool, but there is **no ability to receive NIP-17 messages** and **all agent responses always use NIP-04**.
+Didactyl now supports both NIP-04 and NIP-17 DM flows (including receive path for kind 1059 and protocol-aware auto-reply routing). Remaining work in this plan tracks spec-hardening and bootstrap/discovery details.
 
 The `nostr_core_lib` already has full NIP-17/NIP-59 support including:
 - `nostr_nip17_create_chat_event()` — create kind 14 rumor
@@ -113,28 +113,35 @@ Replace all `nostr_handler_send_dm()` calls with `nostr_handler_send_dm_auto()`.
 
 ### 7. Add kind 10050 startup event support
 
-**File**: `config.json.example`
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented
 
-Add a kind 10050 startup event example so NIP-17 clients can discover the agent's DM relay preferences:
+**Files**:
+- `src/default_events.h` (default startup kinds now include `10050`)
+- `src/setup_wizard.c` (builds kind `10050` tags from current configured relays)

-  ]
-}
-```
-
-**File**: `config.c` — startup event parsing already handles arbitrary kinds, so this should work with no code changes.
+Implementation detail: kind `10050` reuses the same relay set as kind `10002`/current config relays, with `relay` tags as required by NIP-17.
 
 ### 8. Update startup DM to use auto-routing
 
-**File**: `main.c`
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented
 
-The startup status DM at line 255 currently calls `nostr_handler_send_dm()`. Update to `nostr_handler_send_dm_auto()`.
+`main.c` uses `nostr_handler_send_dm_auto()` for startup DM flow.

+
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented (in core lib)
+
+**File**: `nostr_core_lib/nostr_core/nip017.c`
+
+`nostr_nip17_receive_dm()` now verifies that seal pubkey matches rumor pubkey and rejects mismatches to prevent sender impersonation.

+### 10. Recipient kind-10050 relay targeting for sends
