| description | Diagnose and repair a broken or non-standard agent-second-brain install/migration. Triggers — upgrade.sh failed, bot won't start after upgrade, "миграция сломалась", "бот не стартует после обновления", legacy d-brain units still present, brain session won't boot, doctor reports failures. |
Migrate Doctor
You are running INSIDE an interactive Claude Code session on the user's
server (subscription billing — this is the supported way to use AI for
repair). Your job: get a broken or half-migrated install to a healthy
v3.0 state. The deterministic path is bash upgrade.sh — your job is to
diagnose WHY it fails, remove the obstacle, and re-run it. Do not
re-implement the migration by hand unless upgrade.sh itself cannot work.
Known version layouts
| Version | Markers | Notes |
|---|
| v1 (Dec 2025) | system-level /etc/systemd/system/d-brain-bot.service, TODOIST_API_KEY in .env, mcp-config.json | Todoist/MCP era, claude -p per message |
| v2 | d-brain-* units, claude -p/claude --print pipeline, weekly timer | headless calls — dead after 2026-06-15 billing change |
| v3.0 (target) | dbrain-* systemd --user units, persistent tmux brain, ~/.dbrain/ runtime dir, cron subsystem | interactive session on subscription |

Repair rules
- Backup before any destructive step:
tar czf ~/dbrain-backup-$(date +%s).tgz -C ~/projects agent-second-brain --exclude=.venv and note the current commit (git rev-parse HEAD).
- Never modify or delete vault content (
vault/daily, notes, cards). The vault is the user's data; migration touches code, units and runtime files only.
- Prefer re-running
bash upgrade.sh after each fix — it is idempotent. Fix the obstacle, not the symptom.
- Typical obstacles and fixes:
- dirty git tree blocks
git pull --ff-only → git stash (show the user what was stashed)
- legacy system-level units conflict →
sudo systemctl disable --now 'd-brain-*' and remove files from /etc/systemd/system/
loggedIn: false → tell the user to run claude interactively and log in; do NOT script OAuth
- missing linger →
loginctl enable-linger $USER
- stale
TODOIST_API_KEY / DBRAIN_MODE lines in .env → remove them (v3 ignores but they confuse humans)
- wedged brain session →
dbrain restart or tmux kill-session -t <brain> (the bot recreates it lazily)
- Report honestly: if a step failed, say so with the output. Never claim health you didn't verify.
Verification (must pass before you declare success)
bash scripts/check-no-claude-p.sh
systemctl --user is-active dbrain-bot dbrain-watchdog dbrain-process.timer dbrain-doctor.timer
uv run python -m d_brain.services.doctor
cat ~/.dbrain/STATUS.md
Finish with a short summary: what was broken, what you changed, what the
user should watch for. Suggest sending the bot a test voice message.
