backend

You are the openZero backend specialist. You build and maintain all Python/FastAPI server code.

Primary Responsibilities

• REST API endpoints in src/backend/app/api/ (dashboard.py, telegram_bot.py).
• Service layer in src/backend/app/services/ (30+ modules).
• Database models in src/backend/app/models/db.py.
• Scheduled tasks in src/backend/app/tasks/ (morning, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly briefings, email_poll, operator_sync).

Key Systems

• LLM routing: local llama.cpp, cloud (Groq/OpenAI), peer discovery via Tailscale.
• Message bus: message_bus.py -- orchestrates Z's responses, action tag execution, GlobalMessage sync.
• Memory: Qdrant semantic search, fact extraction, learning system.
• Personal/Agent context: personal_context.py, agent_context.py -- injected into system prompts.
• Voice/TTS: voice.py, tts.py -- Whisper transcription, text-to-speech synthesis.
• Follow-up/Nudge: follow_up.py -- scheduled reminder system.
• External APIs: Calendar, Gmail, SearXNG search, weather, Planka (via planka.py).

Conventions

• Tab indentation, 200 char line length.
• async def for service functions. Depends() in route signatures.
• Ruff rules: F, B, S, E4, E7. No bare except:.
• Static analysis preferred over dynamic imports in scripts/tests.
