# Task 2.4 — Command consumer (Redis stream reader)

**Phase:** 2 — Outbound commands
**Status:** ⬜ Not started
**Depends on:** 2.1, 2.3
**Wiki refs:** `docs/wiki/concepts/phase-2-commands.md` § 9.6

## Goal

Each Ingestion instance runs a worker that consumes commands from `commands:outbound:{instance_id}`, looks up the local socket for the target IMEI, and dispatches the command to the appropriate codec encoder + write queue.

## Deliverables

- `src/adapters/teltonika/command-consumer.ts`:
  - `CommandConsumer` class with `start()` and `stop()` methods.
  - Internal: a registry of `imei → SocketWriteQueue` for sessions held by this instance.
  - Methods exposed to the session lifecycle: `attach(imei, queue)`, `detach(imei)`.
  - Reads commands via `XREADGROUP commands:outbound:{instance_id} GROUP ingest {instance_id} COUNT 16 BLOCK 1000`.
  - Calls codec-specific encoder/handler based on the command's `codec` field.
  - On terminal outcome (delivered, responded, failed), publishes to `commands:responses`.
- `src/adapters/teltonika/responses.ts`:
  - `publishResponse({ commandId, status, response?, failureReason? })` writes to `commands:responses` via `XADD`.

## Specification

### Stream consumption

```ts
async start(): Promise<void> {
  // Ensure the consumer group exists. MKSTREAM creates the stream if absent.
  try {
    await this.redis.xgroup('CREATE', this.streamKey, 'ingest', '$', 'MKSTREAM');
  } catch (err: any) {
    if (!err.message?.includes('BUSYGROUP')) throw err;
  }

  while (!this.stopping) {
    const messages = await this.redis.xreadgroup(
      'GROUP', 'ingest', this.instanceId,
      'COUNT', 16, 'BLOCK', 1000,
      'STREAMS', this.streamKey, '>',
    );
    if (!messages) continue;
    for (const [, entries] of messages) {
      for (const [id, fields] of entries) {
        await this.handleCommand(id, fieldsToObject(fields));
      }
    }
  }
}
```

`fieldsToObject` converts Redis's flat `[key, value, key, value, ...]` array to a plain object.

### Command field shape

Per the Phase 2 design, Directus's Flow publishes:

```
XADD commands:outbound:{instance_id} *
  command_id   <uuid>
  target_imei  <string>
  codec        12 | 14
  payload      <ASCII command text>
  expires_at   <unix-seconds>
```

### Dispatch

```ts
async handleCommand(streamId: string, cmd: CommandMessage): Promise<void> {
  const queue = this.sessions.get(cmd.target_imei);
  if (!queue) {
    await this.publishResponse({ commandId: cmd.command_id, status: 'failed', failureReason: 'socket_closed' });
    await this.redis.xack(this.streamKey, 'ingest', streamId);
    return;
  }
  if (Date.now() / 1000 > cmd.expires_at) {
    await this.publishResponse({ commandId: cmd.command_id, status: 'failed', failureReason: 'expired_before_delivery' });
    await this.redis.xack(this.streamKey, 'ingest', streamId);
    return;
  }
  try {
    const frame = encodeCommand(cmd.codec, cmd.command_id, cmd.payload);
    const responseBuf = await queue.writeCommand(cmd.command_id, frame, /* timeoutMs */ 30_000);
    const parsed = parseCommandResponse(cmd.codec, responseBuf);
    await this.publishResponse({
      commandId: cmd.command_id,
      status: parsed.kind === 'ack' ? 'responded' : 'failed',
      response: parsed.text,
      failureReason: parsed.kind === 'nack' ? 'imei_mismatch' : undefined,
    });
  } catch (err) {
    await this.publishResponse({ commandId: cmd.command_id, status: 'failed', failureReason: errToReason(err) });
  } finally {
    await this.redis.xack(this.streamKey, 'ingest', streamId);
  }
}
```

`encodeCommand` and `parseCommandResponse` come from tasks 2.5 (Codec 12) and 2.6 (Codec 14).

### `commands:responses` shape

```
XADD commands:responses *
  command_id      <uuid>
  status          delivered | responded | failed
  response        <ASCII response text, optional>
  failure_reason  socket_closed | expired_before_delivery | imei_mismatch | timeout | write_queue_full | ...
  responded_at    <ms>
```

### Lifecycle hooks

In the Teltonika session:

- After successful handshake: `commandConsumer.attach(imei, writeQueue)`.
- On socket close: `commandConsumer.detach(imei)`.
- The consumer must reject any in-flight command for a detached IMEI with `socket_closed`.

### Concurrency

The consumer reads up to 16 messages per `XREADGROUP` call. Process them sequentially per call (`for await`). Multiple commands targeting different IMEIs can complete in parallel naturally because each goes to a different `SocketWriteQueue`. Within a single IMEI, the queue serializes them.

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] Publishing a command via `XADD commands:outbound:{instance_id}` causes the consumer to call `writeCommand` on the right session.
- [ ] If the IMEI is not held by this instance, the consumer publishes `failed` with `socket_closed` to `commands:responses` and ACKs the stream entry.
- [ ] If `expires_at` has passed, the consumer publishes `failed` with `expired_before_delivery` and ACKs.
- [ ] On `stop()`, the consumer drains the in-flight message and exits the read loop cleanly.
- [ ] `XACK` happens only after the response is published (or terminal failure recorded), so a crash mid-handler causes the command to be redelivered.

## Risks / open questions

- Crash mid-handler: the command was sent on the wire but we crashed before `XACK`. After restart, the consumer will redeliver; the new instance won't have the device, so it publishes `socket_closed`. The result: command was delivered to the device but Directus thinks it failed. Operator re-issues. Acceptable v1; flagged in [[phase-2-commands]] as a sweeper concern. Idempotent device commands mitigate.
- Duplicate delivery via `XPENDING`: not handling Pending Entries List explicitly in v1. If a consumer crashes, its claims time out and another consumer in the group can claim — but we're using `instance_id` as the consumer name, so cross-instance claiming would deliver commands to the wrong device. **Decision:** each instance is the only consumer in its own consumer group (group name = `ingest`, consumer name = `instance_id`, but stream is per-instance so no cross-claiming risk). Verify this matches the Directus-side publishing logic.
