Phase 3: Container Actions - Context

Gathered: 2026-01-29 Status: Ready for planning

## Phase Boundary

Control containers through natural language commands — start, stop, restart, update by name with fuzzy matching. Users issue conversational commands and get feedback on execution.

## Implementation Decisions

Confirmation Flow

Single container actions execute immediately — no confirmation
Batch actions (multiple containers) require confirmation via inline Telegram buttons
Confirmation has 2-minute timeout — if no response, cancel silently
Button format: [Yes, stop N containers] [Cancel]

Action Feedback

Claude's discretion on whether to send "in progress" acknowledgment based on expected duration
Success messages are simple confirmations: "plex restarted successfully"
For update actions, show version change when detectable (e.g., "plex updated: v1.32.0 → v1.32.1")
If no update available, stay silent — only notify when an image actually updated

Fuzzy Matching

Case-insensitive matching (plex, Plex, PLEX all work)
Ambiguous matches treated as batch: "Found 3 matches: sonarr, radarr, lidarr" → batch confirmation flow
No match: suggest closest match with inline button (e.g., "No container 'plx'. Did you mean plex?" with [Yes, use plex] button)
Inline button accepts suggestion — user doesn't need to retype

Error Handling

Show technical/diagnostic details in error messages
Include actual error info: "Docker socket error: ECONNREFUSED /var/run/docker.sock"
No force-stop option — just report failure with details
Auto-retry behavior at Claude's discretion based on error type (transient vs permanent)

Claude's Discretion

Whether to send "in progress" message before long-running actions
Auto-retry logic for transient failures
Exact matching algorithm for fuzzy container names
Timeout duration for Docker operations

## Specific Ideas

Inline Telegram buttons for confirmations and suggestions — not text replies
2-minute timeout on pending confirmations
User prefers diagnostic info over friendly messages — they want to know what actually happened

## Deferred Ideas

None — discussion stayed within phase scope
