Update READMEs with config file setup (Option A/B), tool section, set_search_key command, and touch-before-build note. Update ARCHITECTURE.md with ReAct data flow, tools module map, non-streaming API protocol, and config priority. Mark tool use items done in TODO.

## Data Flow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1. User sends message on Telegram (or WebSocket)
|
|
2. Channel poller receives message, wraps in mimi_msg_t
|
|
3. Message pushed to Inbound Queue (FreeRTOS xQueue)
|
|
4. Agent Loop (Core 1) pops message:
|
|
a. Load session history from SPIFFS (JSONL)
|
|
b. Build system prompt (SOUL.md + USER.md + MEMORY.md + recent notes + tool guidance)
|
|
c. Build cJSON messages array (history + current message)
|
|
d. ReAct loop (max 10 iterations):
|
|
i. Call Claude API via HTTPS (non-streaming, with tools array)
|
|
ii. Parse JSON response → text blocks + tool_use blocks
|
|
iii. If stop_reason == "tool_use":
|
|
- Execute each tool (e.g. web_search → Brave Search API)
|
|
- Append assistant content + tool_result to messages
|
|
- Continue loop
|
|
iv. If stop_reason == "end_turn": break with final text
|
|
e. Save user message + final assistant text to session file
|
|
f. Push response to Outbound Queue
|
|
5. Outbound Dispatch (Core 0) pops response:
|
|
a. Route by channel field ("telegram" → sendMessage, "websocket" → WS frame)
|
|
6. User receives reply
|
|
```

## FreeRTOS Task Layout
|
|
|
|
| Task | Core | Priority | Stack | Description |
|
|
|--------------------|------|----------|--------|--------------------------------------|
|
|
| `tg_poll` | 0 | 5 | 12 KB | Telegram long polling (30s timeout) |
|
|
| `agent_loop` | 1 | 6 | 12 KB | Message processing + Claude API call |
|
|
| `outbound` | 0 | 5 | 8 KB | Route responses to Telegram / WS |
|
|
| `serial_cli` | 0 | 3 | 4 KB | USB serial console REPL |
|
|
| httpd (internal) | 0 | 5 | — | WebSocket server (esp_http_server) |
|
|
| wifi_event (IDF) | 0 | 8 | — | WiFi event handling (ESP-IDF) |
|
|
|
|
**Core allocation strategy**: Core 0 handles I/O (network, serial, WiFi). Core 1 is dedicated to the agent loop (CPU-bound JSON building + waiting on HTTPS).
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Memory Budget
|
|
|
|
| Purpose | Location | Size |
|
|
|------------------------------------|----------------|----------|
|
|
| FreeRTOS task stacks | Internal SRAM | ~40 KB |
|
|
| WiFi buffers | Internal SRAM | ~30 KB |
|
|
| TLS connections x2 (Telegram + Claude) | PSRAM | ~120 KB |
|
|
| JSON parse buffers | PSRAM | ~32 KB |
|
|
| Session history cache | PSRAM | ~32 KB |
|
|
| System prompt buffer | PSRAM | ~16 KB |
|
|
| LLM response stream buffer | PSRAM | ~32 KB |
|
|
| Remaining available | PSRAM | ~7.7 MB |
|
|
|
|
Large buffers (32 KB+) are allocated from PSRAM via `heap_caps_calloc(1, size, MALLOC_CAP_SPIRAM)`.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Flash Partition Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Offset Size Name Purpose
|
|
─────────────────────────────────────────────
|
|
0x009000 24 KB nvs WiFi creds, TG token, API key, model
|
|
0x00F000 8 KB otadata OTA boot state
|
|
0x011000 4 KB phy_init WiFi PHY calibration
|
|
0x020000 2 MB ota_0 Firmware slot A
|
|
0x220000 2 MB ota_1 Firmware slot B
|

0x420000 12 MB spiffs Markdown memory, sessions, config
|
|
0xFF0000 64 KB coredump Crash dump storage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Total: 16 MB flash.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Storage Layout (SPIFFS)
|
|
|
|
SPIFFS is a flat filesystem — no real directories. Files use path-like names.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/spiffs/config/SOUL.md AI personality definition
|
|
/spiffs/config/USER.md User profile
|
|
/spiffs/memory/MEMORY.md Long-term persistent memory
|
|
/spiffs/memory/2026-02-05.md Daily notes (one file per day)
|
|
/spiffs/sessions/tg_12345.jsonl Session history (one file per Telegram chat)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Session files are JSONL (one JSON object per line):
|
|
```json
|
|
{"role":"user","content":"Hello","ts":1738764800}
|
|
{"role":"assistant","content":"Hi there!","ts":1738764802}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## NVS Configuration
|
|
|
|
| Namespace | Key | Description |
|
|
|-----------------|--------------|-----------------------------------------|
|
|
| `wifi_config` | `ssid` | WiFi SSID |
|
|
| `wifi_config` | `password` | WiFi password |
|
|
| `tg_config` | `bot_token` | Telegram Bot API token |
|
|
| `llm_config` | `api_key` | Anthropic API key |
|
|
| `llm_config` | `model` | Model ID (default: claude-opus-4-6) |
|
|
| `proxy_config` | `host` | HTTP proxy hostname/IP |
|
|
| `proxy_config` | `port` | HTTP proxy port |
|
|
| `search_config` | `api_key` | Brave Search API key |
|
|
|
|
**Configuration priority**: `mimi_secrets.h` (build-time) > NVS (CLI-set) > defaults.
|
|
|
|
All configurable via Serial CLI or build-time config file (`mimi_secrets.h`).
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Message Bus Protocol
|
|
|
|
The internal message bus uses two FreeRTOS queues carrying `mimi_msg_t`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
char channel[16]; // "telegram", "websocket", "cli"
|
|
char chat_id[32]; // Telegram chat ID or WS client ID
|
|
char *content; // Heap-allocated text (ownership transferred)
|
|
} mimi_msg_t;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **Inbound queue**: channels → agent loop (depth: 8)
|
|
- **Outbound queue**: agent loop → dispatch → channels (depth: 8)
|
|
- Content string ownership is transferred on push; receiver must `free()`.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## WebSocket Protocol
|
|
|
|
Port: **18789**. Max clients: **4**.
|
|
|
|
**Client → Server:**
|
|
```json
|
|
{"type": "message", "content": "Hello", "chat_id": "ws_client1"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Server → Client:**
|
|
```json
|
|
{"type": "response", "content": "Hi there!", "chat_id": "ws_client1"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Client `chat_id` is auto-assigned on connection (`ws_<fd>`) but can be overridden in the first message.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Claude API Integration
|
|
|
|
Endpoint: `POST https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages`
|
|
|
|
Request format (Anthropic-native, non-streaming, with tools):
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"model": "claude-opus-4-6",
|
|
"max_tokens": 4096,
|
|
"system": "<system prompt>",
|
|
"tools": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "web_search",
|
|
"description": "Search the web for current information.",
|
|
"input_schema": {"type": "object", "properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["query"]}
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
"messages": [
|
|
{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
|
|
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi!"},
|
|
{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather today?"}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Key difference from OpenAI: `system` is a top-level field, not inside the `messages` array.
|
|
|
|
Non-streaming JSON response:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"id": "msg_xxx",
|
|
"type": "message",
|
|
"role": "assistant",
|
|
"content": [
|
|
{"type": "text", "text": "Let me search for that."},
|
|
{"type": "tool_use", "id": "toolu_xxx", "name": "web_search", "input": {"query": "weather today"}}
|
|
],
|
|
"stop_reason": "tool_use"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When `stop_reason` is `"tool_use"`, the agent loop executes each tool and sends results back:
|
|
```json
|
|
{"role": "assistant", "content": [<text + tool_use blocks>]}
|
|
{"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "tool_result", "tool_use_id": "toolu_xxx", "content": "..."}]}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The loop repeats until `stop_reason` is `"end_turn"` (max 10 iterations).
|
