# AI Workspace Service Manager

The service manager is the local lifecycle layer for AI Workspace services.

It reads `profiles/<profile>/services.json`, starts/stops enabled services, records logs under `.aiw/runtime/logs/`, and keeps PID/state files under `.aiw/runtime/`.

## Common commands

```bash
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py status --profile fidelity
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py status --profile fidelity --json
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py doctor --profile fidelity
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py doctor --profile fidelity --json
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py start --profile fidelity
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py stop --profile fidelity
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py logs mattermost-proxy --profile fidelity
```

Start a subset by group:

```bash
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py start --profile fidelity --group communication
python3 scripts/aiw/services.py start --profile fidelity --group inbox
```

## Current Fidelity services

- `mattermost-proxy`: runs the local Mattermost proxy mirror.
- `mattermost-desktop`: launches Mattermost Desktop through the proxy.
- `photo-inbox`: runs the local HTTP photo receiver.
- `aiw-context-mcp`: read-only context MCP server for local AI clients.

The service manager unifies startup and status. It does not move capture behavior into the MCP.

## Local project-knowledge index

The workspace includes a dependency-free local indexer for canonical Markdown memory. The index is derived from the profile's configured `knowledge_dir` and written under the profile's configured `index_dir`; it is safe to delete and rebuild.

```bash
python3 scripts/aiw/indexer.py build --profile fidelity
python3 scripts/aiw/indexer.py status --profile fidelity
python3 scripts/aiw/indexer.py search "dismissal lifecycle" --profile fidelity
```

`aiw-context-mcp` exposes the same derived search through the read-only `memory_hybrid_search` tool and falls back to live Markdown search if the index has not been built yet.

## Profile path configuration

Reusable scripts resolve profile-specific paths through:

```text
profiles/<profile>/workspace.json
```

Current fields:

```json
{
  "knowledge_dir": "project-knowledge",
  "inbox_dir": "ai/inbox",
  "index_dir": ".aiw/indexes/fidelity"
}
```

Use `scripts/aiw/profile.py` from new scripts instead of hardcoding root-level project memory or inbox paths.

## Robustness features

- Manifest validation before lifecycle actions.
- Dependency-aware startup through `depends_on`.
- Managed PID/state files under `.aiw/runtime/`.
- Per-service logs under `.aiw/runtime/logs/`.
- Simple log rotation before service start.
- TCP/HTTP health checks.
- Doctor checks for required commands and paths declared in the profile manifest.
- Protection against starting duplicate services when a matching health check is already passing externally.

## Tests

```bash
python3 scripts/aiw/test_services.py
python3 scripts/aiw/test_profile.py
python3 scripts/aiw/test_indexer.py
