# Leo Telegram Canary Ops

## Job

Run Telegram-visible Leo canaries when testing Leo itself, with retained screenshots and DB readbacks.

## Trigger Phrases

- "test Leo in Telegram"
- "send the Leo group message"
- "Telegram-visible proof"
- "Chrome Telegram canary"
- "Leo remembers conversation"
- "staged write through Telegram"

## Authorization Boundary

Live Telegram bot messages to the Leo group are authorized when they are test canaries for Leo behavior.

This is different from external outreach. Do not send external outreach, partner messages, public announcements, or non-test communications without exact authorization.

## Required Tooling

Use Computer Use through `node_repl` and the Chrome/Computer Use skill path. Do not use:

- AppleScript,
- `osascript`,
- JXA,
- System Events,
- focus hijacking,
- foregrounding hacks.

## Canary Types

Name the canary before sending:

- bot readiness,
- memory,
- KB audit truth,
- proposed-vs-applied truth,
- open-ended Cory-style triage,
- staged write,
- no-canonical-mutation proof,
- screenshot/readback proof.

## Message Discipline

Use unique markers such as `WL-LIVE-TG-CORY-YYYYMMDD-Tn`.

Ask Leo for machine-checkable reply markers like:

- `LIVE_TG_TURN1_ACK`
- `LIVE_TG_TURN3_STAGED`
- `LIVE_TG_TURN4_READBACK`

Do not rely only on exact-ID prompts. At least one representative canary should be a vague operator-style prompt such as: Cory says the agents are not working, the KB is in the same state as last night, and Leo should be able to manipulate the KB; ask Leo what that means, what it would inspect first, what fixed means, and how it separates proposed, approved, and applied. Keep this canary read-only unless the task explicitly authorizes a staging or apply step.

## Required Proof

After each live Telegram canary:

1. Capture screenshot.
2. Record exact message sent.
3. Record Leo reply marker and substance.
4. Query DB if the canary involves DB state.
5. Record canonical public table counts when proving no mutation.
6. Save a local markdown/json artifact.
7. Sync artifacts to VPS report dir when relevant.

## Current Known Proof

- Live memory and KB audit passed for marker `WL-LIVE-TG-CORY-20260709`.
- Live staged write passed for `WL-LIVE-TG-CORY-20260709-T3`.
- Readback passed for `WL-LIVE-TG-CORY-20260709-T4`.
- Open-ended Cory-style read-only triage passed for `WL-LIVE-TG-CORY-OPEN-20260709`.
