What Changed

Removed Nodes (NLU/Claude)

Prepare Claude Request
Claude Intent Parser (HTTP Request to api.anthropic.com)
Parse Intent (Code node)
Intent Router (Switch node)
Send Unknown Intent
Send Intent Error
Send Stats Placeholder
Format Echo / Send Echo

Added/Modified Nodes

Keyword Router (renamed from Route Message)

7 keyword rules with case-insensitive matching
Order: /start, status, restart, start, stop, update, logs
Fallback output connects to Show Menu

Show Menu (new HTTP Request node)

Sends persistent keyboard with 6 buttons
Layout: Status solo, then paired (Start/Stop, Restart/Update, Logs)
is_persistent: true, resize_keyboard: true

Code Updates

Parse and Match: Works with keyword routing, extracts container from message
Parse Action Command: Parses action and container from message text
Match Container: References Parse Action Command instead of Parse Intent
Parse Logs Command: Parses container name and line count from message

Commits

Commit	Description
`a29f444`	feat(05-01): replace NLU/Claude with keyword routing

Verification Results

All checks passed:

Zero Claude/NLU nodes remain
Zero Anthropic API references in workflow
Keyword Router handles: /start, status, restart, start, stop, update, logs
Fallback routes to Show Menu
Persistent menu has 6 buttons with is_persistent: true
All keyword routes connect to correct handler nodes

Deviations from Plan

Combined Tasks

Tasks 1 and 2 were executed as a single atomic change because:

Show Menu node required for Keyword Router fallback connection
Keyword Router updates and Show Menu creation are interdependent
Single commit ensures workflow remains valid at all times

Rule Order Optimization

Added rule order optimization to handle substring conflicts:

/start before start (command vs keyword)
restart before start (restart contains "start")

Next Steps

The workflow now operates without Claude API dependency:

All commands work via typed keywords
Button taps trigger same keyword routes
Unknown input shows menu (not error)

Ready for Phase 5 Plan 02 (if any additional polish plans exist) or deployment.
