roadrunner（roadrunner 命令行）

roadrunner (rr)

Use rr when the user explicitly wants to operate Beeper Desktop via the local API (send, search, list chats/messages, reminders, focus). Prefer --agent for agent use (forces JSON, envelope, no-input, readonly).

Safety

• Default to read-only commands unless the user explicitly requests a mutation in this turn.
• Require explicit recipient (chat ID) and message text before sending.
• Confirm or ask a clarifying question if the chat ID is ambiguous.
• Never paste raw rr command output (JSON dumps, chat lists, etc.) into outgoing messages. Treat tool output as private; summarize or extract only what the user needs.
• Use --agent for safe agent defaults: rr --agent --enable-commands=chats,messages,status chats list
• Use --readonly to block writes: rr --readonly chats list --json
• Use --enable-commands to allowlist: rr --enable-commands=chats,messages chats list --json
• Use --envelope for structured errors: rr --json --envelope chats get "!chatid"
• Envelope errors may include error.hint with next-step guidance for safe retries.
• Never request, paste, or store raw auth tokens in chat. If auth is missing, ask the user to configure it locally.
• If sending message text through a shell, avoid interpolation/expansion (e.g. $100/month or !). Prefer --stdin <<'EOF' ... EOF for safe literals.

Setup (once)

• rr auth set --stdin (recommended; token saved to ~/.config/beeper/config.json)
• rr auth status --check
• rr doctor

Notes

• Requires Beeper Desktop running; token from app settings.
• Token is stored in ~/.config/beeper/config.json via rr auth set (recommended). BEEPER_TOKEN overrides the config file.
• BEEPER_ACCOUNT sets the default account ID (aliases supported).
• rr auth status --check prefers OAuth introspection (/oauth/introspect) when available and falls back to account-list validation on older builds.
• Message search is literal word match (not semantic).
• rr contacts resolve is strict and fails on ambiguous names; resolve by ID after contacts search when needed.
• If a DM title shows your own Matrix ID, use --scope=participants to find by name.
• JSON output includes display_name for single chats (derived from participants).
• Message JSON includes message_type, linked_message_id, is_sender, is_unread, attachments, and reactions.
• downloaded_attachments is only populated when --download-media is used.
• rr messages send returns pending_message_id (temporary ID).
• Account network may be missing in newer API builds; rr falls back to "unknown" in summaries/search output.
• rr assets serve writes raw bytes to stdout unless --dest is provided.
• --chat does exact matching and fails on ambiguous matches.
• Attachment overrides require --attachment-upload-id; set --attachment-width and --attachment-height together.
• --all has a safety cap (default 500 items, max 5000); use --max-items to tune it.
• Prefer --json or --jsonl (and --no-input) for automation.
• --jsonl emits one JSON object per line and is supported on high-volume list/search commands.
• --dry-run/BEEPER_DRY_RUN validates mutating command inputs and prints preview output without sending write API requests.
• BEEPER_URL overrides API base URL; BEEPER_TIMEOUT sets timeout in seconds.
• JSON/Plain output goes to stdout; errors/hints go to stderr.
• Destructive commands prompt unless --force; --no-input/BEEPER_NO_INPUT fails without --force.
• Use --fail-if-empty on list/search commands to exit with code 1 if no results.
• Use --fields with --plain to select columns (comma-separated).
• In bash/zsh, ! triggers history expansion. Prefer single quotes, or disable history expansion (set +H in bash, setopt NO_HIST_EXPAND in zsh).
• rr version --json returns features array for capability discovery.
• rr capabilities --json returns full CLI capability metadata.
• rr events tail depends on experimental /v1/ws support in Beeper Desktop; fall back to rr messages tail when unavailable.
• Envelope error codes: AUTH_ERROR, NOT_FOUND, VALIDATION_ERROR, CONNECTION_ERROR, INTERNAL_ERROR.
• Retry policy: retry CONNECTION_ERROR with backoff; do not blind-retry AUTH_ERROR/VALIDATION_ERROR; refresh IDs before retrying NOT_FOUND.
• Non-idempotent writes: messages send, messages send-file, chats create, chats start, assets upload, assets upload-base64.
• Use --request-id/BEEPER_REQUEST_ID to tag envelope metadata for cross-retry attempt tracing.
• Use --dedupe-window/BEEPER_DEDUPE_WINDOW to block duplicate non-idempotent writes with repeated request IDs.
• Local smoke check: make test-agent-smoke.
