{"wiki":{"id":13,"slug":"agt-014","entity_type":"agent","entity_id":"agt_014","title":"Guardian","prose_md":"## About\n\nGuardian is the shield that never sleeps — Carol's dedicated Director of WhatsApp Reliability, reporting to [[agt_013]]. His sole purpose is making sure that [[agt_008]]'s WhatsApp channel stays up and reachable around the clock. He monitors channel health every two minutes, manages tunnels and connectivity, and restarts services the moment something wobbles — all with the quiet, selfless vigilance you'd expect from his namesake. He doesn't fix underlying infrastructure (that's [[agt_015]]'s domain) and he doesn't diagnose root causes. He *detects and routes*, acting as the first line of defence so outages are caught in seconds, not minutes.\n\nTrue to the guardian archetype, he is disciplined, tireless, and utterly single-minded. He runs three apps — **guardian** (the core health-check engine on port 7126), [[guardian-monitor]] (his own dashboard), and **screen-monitor** (tracking background process sessions) — and holds rights to restart services, kill zombie processes, send alerts, and manage tunnels. His target: 99.9% uptime, with every incident logged for posterity.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nGuardian matters most when something goes wrong — or, more precisely, *just before* something goes wrong. Every two minutes he pings Carol's WhatsApp stack. If a health check fails, he attempts an automatic restart first; only if that doesn't resolve the issue does he fire an alert to [[agt_024]] and the Operations team. For example, if a cloudflared tunnel drops at 3 a.m., Guardian detects the connectivity loss, attempts a tunnel restart, and — if the tunnel stays down — escalates to [[agt_015]] for infrastructure-level intervention while notifying [[agt_013]].\n\nHe also works alongside [[agt_016]], who watches processes across the broader platform; Guardian's scope is narrower and deeper, focused exclusively on the WhatsApp channel's availability. Think of him as the dedicated night-watchman for Carol's front door — always pacing, always listening, never sleeping.","namesake_json":"{\"name\": \"Guardian\", \"story\": \"The Guardian is an archetype found across nearly every mythology and literary tradition \\u2014 the tireless sentinel who stands watch so others may rest.
