Sam Rolfe f6be17fe4f Phase 6: write important school events to the Home Assistant calendar
Add the Home Assistant REST calendar client and the idempotent sync that
writes important school events to Sam's Home Assistant calendar (FR-8). The
school stays read-only; the only write is to the calendar (rule 7).

- internal/calendar: HA REST client (states, create_event, get_events,
  delete_event) and the sync that selects important future events, adopts an
  existing event by its description marker, records the HA event id on the
  item, and records every attempt.
- internal/store: migration 003 (items.ha_event_uid, items.ha_pushed_at and
  the append-only calendar_pushes table), candidates, mark-synced and the
  push log.
- internal/parse: a school event is important; a routine class period is not.
- cmd/school: `school calendar entities|status|push|events`.
- web: an "Add to calendar" item action and a fail-loud calendar banner, so a
  failed write is never swallowed (FR-12).
- scripts/calendar-push.sh, Makefile target, env example, docs and tests.

The target is configurable (SCHOOL_HA_CALENDAR_ENTITY). Home Assistant has no
non-Google writable calendar today, so the entity is asked on AUD-110.

Compass / NHS

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

Build spec: AGENTS.md. This repository is at Phase 6 (the calendar write). See §11 of the spec for the phase order.

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.

Open decision: the brief says not Google, and Home Assistant has no non-Google writable calendar yet. The target entity is configurable (SCHOOL_HA_CALENDAR_ENTITY) and the question is on AUD-110.

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 (later phases): notifications and the Hub API. The calendar write is Phase 6. The service itself does not scan the school; n8n triggers the scan later. Teams (FR-15) is a separate source.

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.

Layout

cmd/school/                 service entry point (run, parse, session, scan, items, hash-password, gen-secret)
internal/config/            environment configuration
internal/store/             SQLite: schema, migrations, queries
internal/parse/             HTML -> structured items (tasks, messages, events)
internal/llm/               OmniRoute client (importance classification only)
internal/calendar/          Home Assistant calendar client + the idempotent sync
internal/auth/              session login (signed cookies, CSRF)
internal/web/               HTTP handlers, templates, static assets
deploy/                     Caddy snippet, deployment notes, verify script
scripts/                    Compass fetchers, the parse wrapper and the calendar push
environment.d/              env example (the real file is gitignored)

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:0.4.0-phase6 gen-secret
docker run --rm --entrypoint /app/school compass-teams-nhs/school:0.4.0-phase6 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

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.
