spotify_radio opens a track's own context menu and starts its song radio.
The labels came from a fresh uiautomator dump on the phone, not from a guess:
the entry is "Go to song radio" and it sits below the fold, so the recipe
scrolls before it matches.
Recipe format:
- menu_row "{query}" finds the row like tap_row, then presses the action
button inside that row's own subtree (ui.Row.Action), so the More options
button of any other row is never a candidate. It records the row as {row}.
- a step can name its own failure: wait ... else "reason". The named reason
comes first and the screen's labels still follow (FR-8).
- scroll up|down moves the current list.
- playing with no title waits for the media session to be PLAYING. A radio
changes track every few minutes, so a title match would fail on a working
radio; spotify_play still passes the title it wants.
ui:
- pickBestMatch ignores a match with no usable bounds. An element scrolled out
of its list reports [0,0][0,0], and tapping its "centre" would be a blind tap
in the corner. A wait now only succeeds once the element is on screen.
Run log (FR-10): appendRunLog rotates runs.jsonl when a write would pass
ARTEMIS_LOG_MAX_BYTES (default 1 MiB), keeping ARTEMIS_LOG_KEEP (default 5)
files. History is bounded, never deleted wholesale, and the per-entry cap of
6 screen labels of 60 characters is unchanged.
Live evidence in docs/phase-4-song-radio.md: ok:true in 56.6s, the menu that
opened belonged to the pressed row, the station name "Honky Tonk Women Radio"
on the phone, and the radio playing past its seed track (Layla) per the media
session and dumpsys audio. Both new failure modes were demonstrated failing
with distinct reasons. The mini-bar's transport label stays "Play" while
playing on this build, which is why playback is confirmed from the media
session.

Artemis Control
Artemis is the phone's hands. It drives the Pixel 8a screen from .13 over
Tailscale using ADB wireless, so the Hub can do things no deep link allows.
The build spec is AGENTS.md. Follow the phases in section 11 in
order.
Status
| Phase | State |
|---|---|
| 1 — Prove the ADB link | ✅ proven — see docs/phase-1-adb-link.md |
| 2 — Act primitives | ✅ done — tap by text, type, scroll, back, home, launch |
| 3 — Spotify recipe | ✅ done — spotify_play plays the right song end to end (13 steps, 35s), see docs/phase-3-spotify-recipe.md |
| 4 — Song radio | ✅ done — spotify_radio starts a real radio (19 steps, 57s); the run log is now bounded at ~1 MB × 5, see docs/phase-4-song-radio.md |
| 5 — Maps recipe | not started |

Build and test
Go is not installed system-wide on .13; use a one-off nix shell. Nothing is
added to nixos-rebuild and no system module changes.
nix shell nixpkgs#go -c go build -o bin/artemis ./cmd/artemis
nix shell nixpkgs#go -c go vet ./...
nix shell nixpkgs#go -c go test ./...
Use
The phone address defaults to 100.101.49.17. Override with ARTEMIS_PHONE,
pin a serial with ARTEMIS_ADB_SERIAL, point at a different adb with
ARTEMIS_ADB, point at another recipes directory with ARTEMIS_RECIPES, and
move the run log with ARTEMIS_LOG.

Recipes
A recipe is a plain-text file in recipes/ that Sam edits by hand. Steps name
what to find on screen; there are no coordinates anywhere.
./bin/artemis recipes # list them
./bin/artemis run spotify_play query="Rolling Stones Honky Tonk"
./bin/artemis run spotify_radio query="Rolling Stones Honky Tonk"
Read docs/phase-3-spotify-recipe.md for the
file format, the verbs, and why list rows need their own step, and
docs/phase-4-song-radio.md for the context menu,
menu_row, and the two ways a radio run fails on purpose.
Rules that the code enforces
- Find by text, never fixed coordinates.
tapresolves a text match to bounds and taps the centre;tap_rowscores result rows against the query and taps the winning row's centre;menu_rowopens the action menu of that same row, from the button inside it. - Never tap blindly. A missing or disabled element is a loud failure, not a
guessed coordinate. A named bad screen (
guard) fails with its own reason, and a step may name its own failure withelse "...". - Never touch a locked phone. A secure keyguard stops Artemis with
phone is locked; unlock it and retry. No PIN is stored, read or typed (AGENTS.md section 13 Q2). - Confirm playback from the media session, not the screen. Spotify's
transport button keeps the label "Play" while music plays; the
playingstep asks Android what is actually playing and checks the track title. - Wake first. Every acting command wakes the screen before it acts (FR-7), and it checks the keyguard only after the screen is on.
- Bound every command. No adb call runs without a timeout, and a recipe has a per-step and a whole-run timeout (FR-11).
- Log every run. Each run appends a JSON line to
logs/runs.jsonl(FR-10). The file rotates at about 1 MB, keeping the recent runs (FR-10 is an audit trail, so history is bounded, never deleted wholesale). Tune it withARTEMIS_LOG_MAX_BYTESandARTEMIS_LOG_KEEP.
