Compass / NHS

A school service for Harry and Finn: Compass gives the daily schedule, the homework and the notices. It stores what is due per child, puts overdue work first, and tells the family before work is late.

Teams (FR-15) is DEFERRED. No Teams section is scanned. Compass answers what is due and overdue. This is a known gap, not a defect.

Build spec: AGENTS.md. This repository is at Phase 9 (documentation). See §11 of the spec for the phase order.

Status — Phase 9

Phase 9 publishes the project documentation across five places.

The daily trigger is 06:00 in Australia/Melbourne (n8n). The briefs go out on Email and WhatsApp through Apprise on .35:8210: one brief per boy, plus one combined brief to Jo and Sam. Important school events go to the Home Assistant Local Calendar calendar.school. The Hub reads items through the read-only POST /ask contract.

The accepted scraper is patchright (headless Playwright), not the pi-browser-harness: the harness cannot pass the Cloudflare managed challenge on the Compass login POST. The Compass parent login required no two-factor code during the Phase 2 proof.

Status — Phase 8

Phase 8 exposes the project side of the frozen Hub contract (central_ai_llm_master/docs/ask-contract.md) on this service's own port (FR-11):

Method	Path	Notes
GET	/capabilities	{"project":"compass_nhs","topics":[…],"people":[…]}, matching the Hub's routing.md row.
POST	/ask	Read-only. Answers from the stored Compass items in one short sentence; returns the contract's answer: null + reason when it cannot answer. A failed or stale scan is stated in the answer, never as "nothing due" (FR-12).
POST	/notify	Accepts the contract's {"from","level","message","person"} and delivers it through Apprise.

All three require Authorization: Bearer $SCHOOL_HUB_TOKEN. With no token set they answer 503. See docs/phase-8-hub-notes.md.

make verify-phase8                 # /health ok, /capabilities, /ask, /notify auth
deploy/verify-phase8.sh --send     # also delivers one real /notify message to Sam

# The Hub's own client shape, against the live service:
curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCHOOL_HUB_TOKEN" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"question":"what does Harry have on today at school?","asker":"sam","person":"harry"}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:8792/ask

The /ask answers are deterministic (no model on the path), so the Hub's 3 second cap is never the reason an answer is missing.

Status — Phase 7

Phase 7 builds and sends the morning briefs through the house Apprise API on .35:8210 (FR-9, FR-14): one brief per boy, plus one combined brief to Jo and Sam, on Email and WhatsApp. Every attempt is recorded in notifications and shown on the dashboard, so a failed send is loud rather than silent (FR-12). POST /notify/morning is the endpoint the 6:00am n8n schedule calls. See docs/phase-7-notify-notes.md.

make notify                       # send the briefs from the latest scan
make preview                      # print the briefs, send nothing
make morning-brief                # scan both children, then send (the n8n job)

# Delivery log: per recipient per channel, plus the scan state.
docker exec compass-teams-nhs /app/school notify status

The destinations live in the Apprise configuration, not here: this service only names a tag such as harry_email (AGENTS.md §10 rule 3).

Status — Phase 6

Phase 6 writes the important school events to Sam's Home Assistant calendar through the Home Assistant REST API (FR-8). It is idempotent (a re-run never duplicates an event) and it fails loudly (a failed write is shown on the dashboard and recorded in calendar_pushes). See docs/phase-6-calendar-notes.md.

The target is a Home Assistant Local Calendar, calendar.school (added 2026-10-15 after Sam chose it over the Google-backed entities that Home Assistant had). The entity stays configurable with SCHOOL_HA_CALENDAR_ENTITY.

scripts/calendar-push.sh entities      # list the writable calendar entities
scripts/calendar-push.sh status        # target, reachability, pending, last push
scripts/calendar-push.sh push --dry-run
scripts/calendar-push.sh push          # write the pending important events
scripts/calendar-push.sh events        # read the calendar back
make calendar CALENDAR_ARGS='push --dry-run'

Status — Phase 5

Phase 5 adds the per-child dashboard: one tab per child, overdue first, then due today, due this week and messages, plus the item detail screen and the Delete actions. See docs/phase-5-dashboard-notes.md.

# Phone-width evidence screenshots (writes under var/, git-ignored).
SCHOOL_USER=sam SCHOOL_PASS=... node scripts/screenshot-phase5.mjs

# Build a draft brief for one child.
docker exec compass-teams-nhs /app/school brief build --child Harry

Status — Phase 4

Phase 4 fetches and parses Harry and Finn with a stored session per child, and stores every item against the right children.id. See docs/phase-4-both-children-notes.md.

make scan                    # both children
make scan SCAN_CHILD=Finn    # one child
school session show          # session state per child (metadata only, no secrets)

Status — Phase 3

Phase 3 parses the raw pages stored by Phase 2 into the SQLite items table (tasks, messages, events). See docs/phase-3-parse-notes.md.

scripts/parse-compass.sh --child Harry --run latest --classify auto

Status — Phase 1

Built and deployed on .13:

• Go service, SQLite schema for children, items, scans, notifications, session (internal/store/migrations/001_init.sql).
• The service's own session login — a signed cookie, not SSO.
• Server-rendered HTMX shell using the Family Home Lab design tokens (internal/web/static/tokens.css), phone-friendly with dark mode.
• GET /health.
• Its own container and port 8792, behind Caddy at school.lab.audasmedia.com.au.

Not built yet: Teams (FR-15). It is deferred on purpose. The service itself does not scan the school; n8n triggers the scan.

Fail loudly (FR-12)

A missing or failed scan is shown as an explicit warning or error, never as an empty day. The dashboard reads the scans table and shows one of:

• NO SCAN HAS RUN YET — amber banner.
• SCAN FAILED — red banner with the failure on record.
• Last scan completed — green banner.

Run

cp environment.d/school-service.env.example environment.d/school-service.env
chmod 600 environment.d/school-service.env   # then fill in the secrets
docker compose up -d --build

Generate secrets with the built image:

docker run --rm --entrypoint /app/school compass-teams-nhs/school:0.6.1-phase8 gen-secret
docker run --rm --entrypoint /app/school compass-teams-nhs/school:0.6.1-phase8 hash-password 'the-password'

Note: Docker Compose interpolates $VAR inside env_file. A bcrypt hash contains $, so escape each one as $$ in the env file.

Verify

make verify-phase1    # container, /health, login, the Caddy route
make verify-phase8    # the Hub API: /capabilities, /ask, /notify

It checks the container is healthy, GET /health returns 200, the login page renders and a session login succeeds, and Caddy serves the public URL.

Rules

• Read-only against the school. Never post, message, or submit anything.
• A failed scan must be loud — never report an empty day as "nothing due".
• School credentials and harness session state are secrets; never commit them.
• This project has its own folder, container, and port.
