Deterministic 6h cron audit runner and Telegram ChatOps adapter

Why

The studio needed continuous deterministic observation of production health (emiote.com), combined with mobile command and control for rapid status checks.

Problem

Manual audits are irregular and easy to skip, leaving regressions unnoticed until user reports arrive. Furthermore, checking status previously required an SSH terminal session.

Approach

Built a deterministic audit CLI script (emiclaw-audit.mjs) scheduled every 6 hours via system cron, paired with a Telegram bot channel adapter for on-demand ChatOps.

Implementation

• Added /home/deploy/scripts/emiclaw-audit.mjs running 120 Vitest suites, 168-file Astro typechecks, and live HTTP/RFC-8288 probes.
• Scheduled cron 0 */6 * * * writing reports to disk in JSON and Markdown formats.
• Configured Telegram bot adapter linking @emiclaw_studio_bot directly to EmiClaw.
• Exposed secured web dashboard at https://emiclaw.emiote.com/dashboard behind Cloudflare Zero Trust OTP.

Verification

• Ran deterministic sweep: all 120 Vitest suites passed in ~2.8s; Astro check reported 0 errors.
• Exchanged live messages on Telegram via @emiclaw_studio_bot.

Result

EmiClaw gained autonomous observation capabilities with direct mobile ChatOps access.
