# 2026-04-29 — Crash-bot Session Notes## Scotty Backup — End-to-End Flow Built**What happened:**1. Scotty has `/backup` router rule → fires `trigger_backup.lua` → sends Telegram confirmation (Dev Mode was already on, user had it enabled previously)2. User says "backup Scotty" to crash-bot on Discord3. crash-bot pulls all 50 files from `http://esp-claw.local/` via HTTP API4. crash-bot DELETEs old session logs, `/tmp/`, and diag files from Scotty via HTTP DELETE API5. Backup saved to `~/esp-claw-backup/2026-04-28/` and `~/esp-claw-backup/latest/`**Key insight from session logs:**- Scotty's persona customization (Star Trek comm badge) lives in `memory_records.jsonl` (conversational) but soul.md/identity.md are still **factory defaults** ("I am ESP-Claw", generic personality)- Topher was customizing Scotty through chat but never writing it back to the persona files- soul.md still says "I am ESP-Claw" — never updated from factory**Scotty soul/identity written and ready to push:**- Written to `/tmp/scotty_soul.md` and `/tmp/scotty_identity.md`- Waiting for -topher's signal before uploading to Scotty- soul.md: Comm badge persona, interaction style ("It is done.", "Make it so.", "Badge out."), what I know about Topher (C++/Linux, Lua beginner, project history), open BTN A callback issue- identity.md: Hardware spec (M5StickS3), capabilities, current running state, Telegram connection**Dev Mode was already on** — user had enabled it previously, so the router rule push worked without needing to enable it in this session## Scotty File API Discovery- `GET /api/files?path=/` → JSON file list- `GET /files/<path>` → file download (direct path, no API prefix)- `POST /api/files/upload?path=<path>` → upload (raw body, no multipart/form-data)- `POST /api/files/mkdir` → mkdir (JSON `{"path":"/temp/foo"}`)- `DELETE /api/files?path=<path>` → delete- Leading `/` in path is required## Scotty Router Rule — Backup Trigger- Rule: `im_backup_trigger`- Pattern: matches `/backup`- Action: `run_script` → `trigger_backup.lua`- Status: LIVE on Scotty## Scotty Sessions Backed Up- 14 files in `sessions/` — `s_telegram.log` (14KB) is the most interesting (full Telegram conversation with Scotty including lobster/flicker bug descriptions and user going to bed)- `s_system.log` — boot diagnostic data- Sessions from 2026-04-22 through 2026-04-28## Scottysoul/Identity Files (current)- soul.md: still "I am ESP-Claw" (factory default, NOT the Star Trek persona)- identity.md: still generic "ESP-Claw on-device AI agent" (factory default)- user.md: still generic "Default Assumption: smooth product-quality AI experience"- personality.md: still generic- memory_records.jsonl: ACTUAL session memory (Christopher, C++/Linux, Lua beginner, comm badge project details, lobster/flicker, BTN A issue)## Pending: Scotty Persona Push- `/tmp/scotty_soul.md` and `/tmp/scotty_identity.md` written and waiting for -topher's signal- DO NOT push until -topher says go## Gateway Blip- Gateway died mid-backup run (Apr 28 23:31 UTC)- `openclaw gateway restart` resolved — came back up quickly- Likely a model-switching pile-up from rapid exec calls during file enumeration## sdf badblocks- ST4000VN008-4TB (Serial: ZDH7GDYA) — was ~69% at Apr 27 ~14:00 UTC when gateway reboot killed it- Needs restart — was running since Apr 27 ~13:22 UTC- Pipeline script: `scripts/run-badblocks-cue.sh` — queued after sdf## ESP-Claw I2C Stall Issue- `scripts/user/i2c_scan.lua` still in `/scripts/user/` — known stall source- `scripts/temp/i2c_scan_stall_test.lua` (100kHz + pcall) exists as safe alternative- Parked until serial debug available
