# GENOME.md — the-door
Generated: 2026-04-15 00:03:16 EDT
Repo: Timmy_Foundation/the-door
Issue: timmy-home #673
## Project Overview
The Door is a crisis-first front door to Timmy: one URL, no account wall, no app install, and a permanently visible 988 escape hatch. The repo combines a static browser UI, a local Hermes API gateway behind nginx, and a Python crisis package that duplicates and enriches the frontend's safety logic.
What the codebase actually contains today:
- 1 primary browser app: `index.html`
- 4 companion browser assets/pages: `about.html`, `testimony.html`, `crisis-offline.html`, `sw.js`
- 17 Python files across canonical crisis logic, legacy shims, wrappers, and tests
- 2 Gitea workflows: `smoke.yml`, `sanity.yml`
- 1 systemd unit: `deploy/hermes-gateway.service`
- full test suite currently passing: `115 passed, 3 subtests passed`
The repo is small, but it is not simple. The true architecture is a layered safety system:
1. immediate browser-side crisis escalation
2. OpenAI-compatible streaming chat through Hermes
3. canonical Python crisis detection and response modules
4. nginx hardening, rate limiting, and localhost-only gateway exposure
5. service-worker offline fallback for crisis resources
The strongest pattern in this codebase is safety redundancy: the UI, prompt layer, offline fallback, and backend detection all try to catch the same sacred failure mode from different directions.

## Entry Points
### Browser / user-facing entry points
- `index.html`
- the main product
- contains inline CSS, inline JS, embedded `SYSTEM_PROMPT`, chat UI, crisis panel, fullscreen overlay, and safety-plan modal
- `about.html`
- static about page
- linked from the chat footer, though the main app currently links to `/about` while the repo ships `about.html`
- `testimony.html`
- static companion content page
- `crisis-offline.html`
- offline crisis resource page served by the service worker when navigation cannot reach the network
- `manifest.json`
- PWA metadata and shortcuts, including `/?safetyplan=true` and `tel:988`
- `sw.js`
- network-first service worker with offline crisis fallback
### Backend / Python entry points
- `crisis/detect.py`
- canonical detection engine and public detection API
- `crisis/response.py`
- canonical response generator, UI flags, prompt modifier, grounding helpers
- `crisis/gateway.py`
- integration layer for `check_crisis()` and `get_system_prompt()`
- `crisis/compassion_router.py`
- profile-based prompt routing abstraction parallel to `response.py`
- `crisis_detector.py`
- root legacy shim exposing canonical detection in older shapes
- `crisis_responder.py`
- root legacy response module with a richer compatibility response contract
- `dying_detection/__init__.py`
- deprecated wrapper around canonical detection
### Operational entry points
- `deploy/deploy.sh`
- most complete one-command operational bootstrap path in the repo
- `deploy/playbook.yml`
- Ansible provisioning path for swap, packages, nginx, firewall, and site files
- `deploy/hermes-gateway.service`
- systemd unit running `hermes gateway --platform api_server --port 8644`
- `.gitea/workflows/smoke.yml`
- parse/syntax checks and secret scan
- `.gitea/workflows/sanity.yml`
- basic repo sanity grep checks for 988/system-prompt presence
## Data Flow
### Happy path: user message to streamed response
1. User types into `#msg-input` in `index.html`.
2. `sendMessage()`:
- trims text
- appends a user bubble to the DOM
- pushes `{role: 'user', content: text}` into the in-memory `messages` array
- runs client-side `checkCrisis(text)`
- clears the input and starts streaming
3. `streamResponse()` builds the request payload:
- prepends a synthetic system message from `getSystemPrompt(lastUserMessage || '')`
- posts JSON to `/api/v1/chat/completions`
4. nginx proxies `/api/*` to `127.0.0.1:8644`.
5. Hermes streams OpenAI-style SSE chunks back to the browser.
6. The browser reads `choices[0].delta.content` and incrementally renders the assistant message.
7. When streaming ends, the assistant turn is pushed into `messages`, saved to `localStorage`, and passed through `checkCrisis(fullText)` again.
### Immediate local crisis escalation path
1. `checkCrisis(text)` scans substrings against two client-side lists.
2. Low-tier/soft crisis text reveals the inline crisis panel.
3. Explicit intent text triggers the fullscreen overlay and delayed-dismiss flow.
4. The user still remains in the conversation flow rather than being hard-redirected away.
### Offline / failure path
1. `sw.js` precaches static routes and the crisis fallback page.
2. Navigation uses a network-first strategy with timeout fallback.
3. If network and cache both fail, the service worker tries `crisis-offline.html`.
4. If API streaming fails, `index.html` inserts a static emergency message with 988 and 741741 instead of a blank error.
## Key Abstractions
### 1. `SYSTEM_PROMPT`
Embedded directly in `index.html`, not loaded at runtime from `system-prompt.txt`. The browser treats the prompt as part of the application runtime contract.
### 2. `COMPASSION_PROFILES`
Frontend prompt-state profiles for `CRITICAL`, `HIGH`, `MEDIUM`, `LOW`, and `NONE`. They encode tone and directive shifts, but the current `levelMap` only maps browser levels to `NONE`, `MEDIUM`, and `CRITICAL`, leaving `HIGH` and `LOW` effectively unused in the main prompt-building path.
### 3. Client-side crisis detector
In `index.html`, the browser uses:
- `crisisKeywords` for panel escalation
- `explicitPhrases` for hard overlay escalation
- `checkCrisis(text)` for UI behavior
- `getCrisisLevel(text)` for prompt shaping
This is fast and local, but it is also a separate detector from the canonical Python package.
### 4. `CrisisDetectionResult`
The core canonical backend dataclass from `crisis/detect.py`:
- `level`
- `indicators`
- `recommended_action`
- `score`
- `matches`
This is the canonical representation shared by the main Python crisis stack.
### 5. `CrisisResponse`
In `crisis/response.py`, the canonical response dataclass ties backend detection to frontend/UI needs:
- `timmy_message`
- `show_crisis_panel`
- `show_overlay`
- `provide_988`
- `escalate`
### 6. Legacy compatibility layer
The repo still carries older interfaces:
- `crisis_detector.py`
- `crisis_responder.py`
- `dying_detection/__init__.py`
These preserve compatibility, but they also create drift risk:
- `MEDIUM` vs `MODERATE`
- two different `CrisisResponse` contracts
- two prompt-routing paths (`response.py` vs `compassion_router.py`)
### 7. Browser persistence contract
`localStorage` is a real part of runtime state despite some docs claiming otherwise.
Keys:
- `timmy_chat_history`
- `timmy_safety_plan`
That means The Door is not truly “close tab = gone” in its current implementation.
## API Surface
### Browser -> Hermes API contract
`index.html` sends:
```json
{
"model": "timmy",
"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "...prompt..."},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "..."},
{"role": "user", "content": "..."}
],
"stream": true
}
```
Endpoint:
- `/api/v1/chat/completions`
Expected response shape:
- streaming SSE lines beginning with `data: `
- chunk payloads with `choices[0].delta.content`
- `[DONE]` terminator
### Canonical Python API
- `crisis.detect.detect_crisis(text)`
- `crisis.response.generate_response(detection)`
- `crisis.response.process_message(text)`
- `crisis.response.get_system_prompt_modifier(detection)`
- `crisis.gateway.check_crisis(text)`
- `crisis.gateway.get_system_prompt(base_prompt, text="")`
- `crisis.gateway.format_gateway_response(text, pretty=True)`
### Legacy / compatibility API
- `CrisisDetector.scan()`
- `detect_crisis_legacy()`
- root `crisis_responder.generate_response()`
- deprecated `dying_detection.detect()` and helpers
## Test Coverage Gaps
### Current state
Verified on fresh `main` clone of `the-door`:
- `python3 -m pytest -q` -> `115 passed, 3 subtests passed`
What is already covered well:
- canonical crisis detection tiers
- response flags and gateway structure
- many false-positive regressions
- service-worker offline crisis fallback
- crisis overlay focus trap string-level assertions
- deprecated wrapper behavior
### High-value gaps that still matter
1. No real browser test of the actual send path in `index.html`.
- The repo currently contains a concrete scope bug:
- `sendMessage()` defines `var lastUserMessage = text;`
- `streamResponse()` later uses `getSystemPrompt(lastUserMessage || '')`
- `lastUserMessage` is not in `streamResponse()` scope
- Existing passing tests do not execute this real path.
2. No DOM-true test for overlay background locking.
- The overlay code targets `document.querySelector('.app')` and `getElementById('chat')`.
- The main document uses `id="app"`, not `.app`, and does not expose a `#chat` node.
- Current tests assert code presence, not selector correctness.
3. No route validation for `/about` vs `about.html`.
- The footer links to `/about`.
- The repo ships `about.html`.
- With current nginx `try_files`, this looks like a drift bug.
4. Legacy responder path remains largely untested.
- `crisis_responder.py` is still present and meaningful but lacks direct tests for its richer response payloads.
5. CI does not run pytest.
- The repo has a substantial suite, but Gitea workflows only do syntax/grep checks.
### Generated missing tests for critical paths
These are the three most important tests this codebase still needs.
#### A. Browser send-path smoke test
Goal: catch the `lastUserMessage` regression and ensure the chat request actually builds.
```python
# Example Playwright/browser test
async def test_send_message_builds_stream_request(page):
await page.goto("file:///.../index.html")
await page.fill("#msg-input", "hello")
await page.click("#send-btn")
# Expect no ReferenceError and one request to /api/v1/chat/completions
```
#### B. Overlay selector correctness test
Goal: prove the inert/background lock hits real DOM nodes, not dead selectors.
```python
def test_overlay_background_selectors_match_real_dom():
html = Path("index.html").read_text()
assert 'id="app"' in html
assert "querySelector('.app')" not in html
assert "getElementById('chat')" not in html
```
#### C. Legacy responder contract test
Goal: keep compatibility layers honest until they are deleted.
```python
from crisis_responder import process_message
def test_legacy_responder_returns_resources_for_high_risk():
response = process_message("I want to kill myself")
assert response.escalate is True
assert response.show_overlay is True
assert any("988" in r for r in response.resources)
```
## Security Considerations
### Strengths
- Browser message bubbles use `textContent`, not unsafe inner HTML, for chat content.
- API calls are same-origin and proxied through nginx.
- Service worker does not cache `/api/*` responses.
- nginx includes CSP, HSTS, and localhost-only gateway exposure.
- UFW/docs expect only `22`, `80`, and `443` to be public.
- systemd unit hardening is present in `hermes-gateway.service`.
### Risks
1. `localStorage` persistence contradicts the privacy story.
- chat history and safety plan are stored in plaintext on the device
- shared-device risk is real
2. `script-src 'unsafe-inline'` is required by the current architecture.
- all runtime logic and CSS are inline in `index.html`
- this weakens CSP/XSS posture
3. Safety enforcement is still heavily client-shaped.
- the frontend always embeds the crisis-aware prompt
- deployment does not clearly prove that all callers are forced through server-side crisis middleware
- direct API clients may bypass browser-supplied context
4. Client and server detection logic can drift.
- the browser uses substring lists
- the backend uses canonical regex tiers in `crisis/detect.py`
- parity is not tested
5. Deprecated wrapper emits a deterministic session hash.
- `dying_detection` exposes a truncated SHA-256 fingerprint of text
- useful for correlation, but still privacy-sensitive
## Dependencies
### Runtime
- Hermes binary at `/usr/local/bin/hermes`
- nginx
- certbot + python certbot nginx plugin
- ufw
- curl
- Python 3
- browser with JavaScript, service-worker, and `localStorage` support
### Test / operator dependencies
- pytest
- PyYAML (used implicitly by smoke workflow checks)
- ansible / ansible-playbook
- rsync, ssh, scp
- openssl
- dig / dnsutils
### In-repo dependency style
- Python code is effectively stdlib-first
- no `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`, or `package.json`
- operational dependencies live mostly in docs and scripts rather than a declared manifest
## Deployment
### Intended production path
Browser -> nginx TLS -> static webroot + `/api/*` reverse proxy -> Hermes on `127.0.0.1:8644`
### Main deployment commands
- `make deploy`
- `make deploy-bash`
- `make push`
- `make check`
- `bash deploy/deploy.sh`
- `cd deploy && ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml`
### Operational files
- `deploy/nginx.conf`
- `deploy/playbook.yml`
- `deploy/deploy.sh`
- `deploy/hermes-gateway.service`
- `resilience/health-check.sh`
- `resilience/service-restart.sh`
### Deployment reality check
The repo's deploy surface is not fully coherent:
- `deploy/deploy.sh` is the most complete operational path
- `deploy/playbook.yml` provisions nginx/site/firewall/SSL but does not manage `hermes-gateway.service`
- resilience scripts still target port `8000`, not the real gateway at `8644`
- `crisis-offline.html` is required by `sw.js`, but full deploy paths do not appear to ship it consistently
## Technical Debt
### Highest-priority debt
1. Fix the `lastUserMessage` scope bug in `index.html`.
2. Fix overlay background selector drift (`.app` vs `#app`, missing `#chat`).
3. Fix `/about` route drift.
4. Add pytest to Gitea CI.
5. Make deploy paths ship the same artifact set, including `crisis-offline.html`.
6. Make the recommended Ansible path actually manage `hermes-gateway.service`.
7. Align or remove resilience scripts targeting the wrong port/service.
8. Resolve doc drift:
- ARCHITECTURE says “close tab = gone,” but implementation uses `localStorage`
- BACKEND_SETUP still says 49 tests, while current verified suite is 115 + 3 subtests
- audit docs understate current automation coverage
### Strategic debt
- Duplicate crisis logic across browser and backend
- Parallel prompt-routing mechanisms (`response.py` and `compassion_router.py`)
- Legacy compatibility layers that still matter but are not first-class tested
- No declared dependency manifest for operator tooling
- No true E2E browser validation of the core conversation loop
## Bottom Line
The Door is not just a static landing page. It is a small but layered safety system with three cores:
- a browser-first crisis chat UI
- a canonical Python crisis package
- a thin nginx/Hermes deployment shell
Its design is morally serious and operationally pragmatic. Its main weaknesses are not missing ambition; they are drift, duplication, and shallow verification at the exact seams where the browser, backend, and deploy layer meet.
