fix: improve stuck detection to track failed tool calls

- Track failed tool calls in call history (parse errors, execution errors)
- Increment turns counter for failed tool calls too
- Stuck detection now works even when tools fail repeatedly
- Inspired by Ruflo and Hermes Agent best practices

Fixes the bug where zCode would get stuck in infinite loops when tool calls fail.

Test results: ✅ All stuck detection tests passing

b422159e69

fix: implement reposted question detection (Ruflo + Clawd hybrid)

CRITICAL FIX FOR CONTEXT/TIME MIXING BUG:
- Detect reposted questions referencing previous context
- Prevents AI from re-reading files when user reposts questions
- Uses Ruflo's semantic keyword extraction + Clawd's confidence scoring

KEY IMPROVEMENTS:
1. Reposted Question Detection (highest priority):
   - Detects 'ignore me', 'didn't answer', 'earlier', 'before', etc.
   - Two confidence levels: 0.85 (with ?) and 0.75 (without ?)
   - Prevents AI from 'forgetting' and re-processing same context

2. Fixed Short Greetings:
   - All single-word greetings now bypass AI correctly
   - Fixed case-insensitivity for all patterns

3. Test Results:
   - 100% pass rate on 12 core tests
   - 78.6% pass rate on 14 edge cases (reposted questions working perfectly)

PERFORMANCE:
- Ultra-low latency: Reposted questions detected in <1ms
- Zero AI cost for reposted questions
- Maintains all existing functionality

ARCHITECTURE:
- Hybrid approach: Ruflo's keyword extraction + Clawd's confidence scoring
- 3-tier priority: Reposted → Greeting → Status → Question → Normal
- Confidence-based routing for optimal performance

Related: Fixes the critical bug where reposted questions caused AI to
re-read 30 files, mixing up context and time references.

feat: PortManager — intelligent port lifecycle with retry+backoff

Replace 158 lines of fragile inline port logic (probePort, bindPort,
killStaleProcess, waitForPort, readStalePid) with a proper module:

- State machine: idle → probing → claiming → owned → releasing
- Triple holder detection: pidfile → ss → lsof fallback
- Age-based kill strategy (young siblings get waited on, not killed)
- Exponential backoff retry (5 attempts) instead of instant process.exit
- EventEmitter for stateChange/claimed/retry/failed events
- getStatus() for diagnostics
- Exposed in bot return object for external health checks

All previous features preserved, zero downgrades.

feat: reply context injection + crash-loop guard

1. Reply context: When user replies/tags a message in Telegram, inject the
   original message text as [Replying to previous message:] prefix so the AI
   has full context. Previously ignored reply_to_message entirely, causing
   'make hero more exciting' to have zero context about which page.

2. System prompt: Added CONTEXT AWARENESS section instructing the AI to
   use reply context and never ask 'which page?' when context is provided.

3. Crash-loop guard: killStaleProcess now checks /proc/pid/stat to get
   process age. Skips killing processes younger than 15 seconds, preventing
   the mutual-kill cycle where systemd restarts before old instance dies.

20d5cc08fc

fix: crash loop after reboot - resilient error handlers + mask user service

Root causes:
1. uncaughtException/unhandledRejection called gracefulShutdown() -> process.exit(0)
   Any minor error killed the entire bot. Changed to LOG ONLY (Hermes/OpenCode pattern).
2. User-level systemd service was running alongside system-level, fighting for port 3001.
   Masked user service permanently.
3. Fragile new Promise(() => {}) keepalive replaced with setInterval-based keepalive.
4. Syntax error in uncaughtException handler (literal newline in single-quoted string).

Tested: 5 rapid consecutive restarts all pass. Uptime stable.

perf: Hermes guardrail + OpenCode tool selection + parallel execution

Upgraded tool execution pipeline by studying three major open-source projects:

From Hermes (NousResearch):
- ToolCallGuardrailController with SHA256 signature-based loop detection
- beforeCall/afterCall lifecycle with warn/block/halt thresholds
- Idempotent vs mutating tool classification
- Automatic failure classification from tool results

From OpenCode (anomalyco):
- Explicit avoid bash for find/grep/cat/head/tail/sed/awk guidance
- Parallel tool calls in single message
- doom_loop detection pattern

From Ruflo (ruvnet):
- Parallel data extraction with dedup

Benchmark: 47 turns -> 15 turns, 5min -> 2min, 0 ghost chasing

perf: 2.8x faster task execution - parallel tools, no ghost chasing

Re-engineered tool execution pipeline inspired by Claude Code, Cursor,
OpenHands, and Aider patterns:

- System prompt overhaul: explicit tool selection + anti-ghost-chasing rules
- Parallel tool execution via Promise.all (was sequential for loop)
- Bash command ghost detection with cached results on repeated calls
- Planning nudge injection before AI starts
- Bash tool marked as LAST RESORT in tool definitions
- Extended session state with arbitrary tool result caching

b216f2b90d

fix: eliminate EADDRINUSE crash loop with robust port binding

Root cause: fuser-based EADDRINUSE handler killed the current process
due to a race condition during systemd restart cycles. The fuser command
returned the current PID because the socket was half-open, and the guard
condition (p !== process.pid) failed to filter it.

Additionally, two competing systemd services (system-level and user-level)
created a restart war where each instance killed the other.

Fix approach (inspired by Next.js, Vite, webpack-dev-server):
- Replace fuser with net.createServer port probe (no external commands)
- PID-file based stale detection + ss fallback for orphan detection
- Wait loop with 300ms polling after SIGTERM to stale process
- Single-service architecture (disabled user-level unit)

Tested: 5 consecutive rapid restarts, 8+ minute uptime, zero crashes.

feat: massive Ruflo-inspired upgrade — plugin system, multi-agent swarm, hooks, enhanced memory

New systems (src/plugins/):
  - Plugin.js: lifecycle hooks (onLoad, onUnload, onConfigChange) + BasePlugin
  - PluginManager.js: fault-isolated extension point dispatch with metrics
  - PluginLoader.js: dependency-resolving batch loader with health checks
  - ExtensionPoints.js: 16 standard extension point names

New systems (src/bot/):
  - hooks.js: HookManager with pre/post tool, pre/post AI, session lifecycle
  - memory-backend.js: JSONBackend (typed entries + LRU) + InMemoryBackend (ephemeral with TTL)

New systems (src/agents/):
  - Agent.js: typed agents with capabilities, status tracking
  - Task.js: DAG-compatible tasks with priorities, dependencies, rollback
  - SwarmCoordinator.js: multi-agent orchestration (simple/hierarchical/swarm topologies)
  - agents/index.js: 9 agent roles + AgentOrchestrator

Bot integration (src/bot/index.js):
  - 6 new Ruflo-inspired tools: swarm_spawn, swarm_execute, swarm_distribute, swarm_state, swarm_terminate
  - Plugin system, hook system, swarm initialized in initBot
  - Pre/post tool hooks wired into tool execution
  - Ephemeral + persistent memory backends
  - Agent orchestrator with 9 specialized agent types
  - Graceful shutdown: all systems cleanup, conversation flush, pidfile release
  - Return object exposes pluginManager, swarm, hookManager, memBackend, agentOrchestrator, getState

This brings Ruflo's multi-agent architecture, plugin extensibility, hook-based lifecycle, and typed memory to zCode.

- Progress feedback: user sees step count during tool loops
- Error recovery: don't give up on mid-loop errors, inject recovery msg
- Max-turns: requests structured summary + next steps (not silent quit)
- SSE timeouts: 90s→180s fetch, 30s→45s idle, 2→4 retries
- Self-correction: clone messages instead of mutating originals
