Goal Achievement

Observable Truths

#	Truth	Status	Evidence
1	User can start a stopped container by name	VERIFIED	Route Message switch routes "start " commands (line 181), Build Action Command constructs /containers/{id}/start POST (line 471), Execute Action executes curl command
2	User can stop a running container by name	VERIFIED	Route Message switch routes "stop " commands (line 190), Build Action Command constructs /containers/{id}/stop?t=10 POST with graceful timeout
3	User can restart a container by name	VERIFIED	Route Message switch routes "restart " commands (line 199), Build Action Command constructs /containers/{id}/restart?t=10 POST
4	Single container matches execute immediately without confirmation	VERIFIED	Check Match Count routes matchCount=1 directly to Build Action Command (connection line 1868-1873), bypassing confirmation flow
5	Telegram Trigger receives callback_query updates from inline buttons	VERIFIED	Telegram Trigger updates field set to ["message", "callback_query"] (line 6)
6	Callback queries route to dedicated handler branch	VERIFIED	Route Update Type switch node checks $json.callback_query not empty, routes to IF Callback Authenticated (connections 1568-1574)
7	No-match suggestions show "Did you mean X?" with inline button	VERIFIED	Find Closest Match node (line 524), Build Suggestion Keyboard constructs inline_keyboard with "Yes, {action} {name}" button (line 563), Send Suggestion HTTP Request
8	User can accept suggestion without retyping command	VERIFIED	Callback_data includes action code and container ID, Route Callback routes to Build Callback Action -> Execute Callback Action flow
9	Multiple container matches show confirmation with inline buttons	VERIFIED	Check Match Count routes matchCount>1 to Build Batch Keyboard (connection line 1875-1880), constructs inline_keyboard with "Yes, {action} N containers" button
10	Confirmation shows list of matching containers	VERIFIED	Build Batch Keyboard formats listText = names.map(n => " • {n}").join('\n') (line 616)
11	User can confirm batch action with single button click	VERIFIED	Callback_data contains array of container IDs (c: shortIds), Route Callback detects isBatch=true, routes to Build Batch Commands
12	Batch actions execute all matching containers in sequence	VERIFIED	Build Batch Commands creates commands array, Prepare Batch Execution chains with &&, Execute Batch Action runs combined command, Parse Batch Result parses RESULT_N outputs
13	User can update a container by name (pull new image, recreate)	VERIFIED	Route Message routes "update " to Parse Update Command (connection 1759-1764), full update flow: Inspect -> Pull Image -> Compare Digests -> Stop -> Remove -> Create -> Start
14	Update detects if image actually changed and stays silent if not	VERIFIED	Compare Digests compares currentImageId === newImageId, returns needsUpdate: false for silent branch, Check If Update Needed IF node routes false to empty output (connection 2219-2220)

Score: 14/14 truths verified

Required Artifacts

Artifact	Expected	Status	Details
n8n-workflow.json	Action routing and Docker API POST calls	VERIFIED	Contains Route Message switch with start/stop/restart/update patterns, Docker API calls via curl to unix socket
n8n-workflow.json	Callback query handling and suggestion flow	VERIFIED	Route Update Type switch, Parse Callback Data, Route Callback with cancel/expired/batch/single routing
n8n-workflow.json	Batch confirmation flow with inline buttons	VERIFIED	Build Batch Keyboard, Send Batch Confirmation, Build Batch Commands through Send Batch Result flow
n8n-workflow.json	Container update workflow (pull + recreate)	VERIFIED	29 nodes for update flow from Parse Update Command through Send Update Result

Key Link Verification

From	To	Via	Status	Details
Switch (Route Message)	Action routing branch	contains start/stop/restart	WIRED	Switch routes to Parse Action via connection "Route Message": { "main": [..., ["Parse Action"]...]}
Execute Command node	Docker API	curl POST to /containers/{id}/start|stop|restart	WIRED	Build Action Command generates curl command with curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -X POST 'http://localhost/v1.47/containers/${containerId}/${action}${timeout}'
Telegram Trigger	Route Update Type	message or callback_query routing	WIRED	Trigger receives both types, Route Update Type routes based on presence of $json.message or $json.callback_query
HTTP Request	Telegram Bot API	sendMessage with inline_keyboard	WIRED	Build Suggestion Keyboard and Build Batch Keyboard construct reply_markup with inline_keyboard, Send Suggestion and Send Batch Confirmation POST to api.telegram.org
Multiple Matches branch	HTTP Request for keyboard	Build confirmation keyboard	WIRED	Check Match Count (matchCount>1) -> Build Batch Keyboard -> Send Batch Confirmation
Callback handler	Batch execution loop	Execute action for each container	WIRED	Route Callback (batch) -> Build Batch Commands -> Prepare Batch Execution -> Execute Batch Action, commands chained with && and parsed from RESULT_N: pattern
Route Message switch	Update branch	update pattern	WIRED	Route Message output 2 routes to Parse Update Command on "starts-with-update" condition
Docker inspect	Docker create	Config extraction and recreation	WIRED	Parse Container Config extracts containerConfig/hostConfig/networkSettings -> Build Create Body reconstructs with NetworkingConfig -> Build Create Command -> Create Container

Requirements Coverage

Requirement	Status	Blocking Issue
REQ-03: Start container	SATISFIED	None - full flow from message to Docker API POST verified
REQ-04: Stop container	SATISFIED	None - full flow with graceful timeout (?t=10) verified
REQ-05: Restart container	SATISFIED	None - full flow with graceful timeout verified
REQ-06: Update container	SATISFIED	None - pull + compare + recreate flow verified
Fuzzy name matching	SATISFIED	Match Container and Match Update Container use substring matching with prefix stripping (linuxserver-, binhex-)

Human Verification Required

1. Start Container Flow

Test: Send "start [stopped-container-name]" to Telegram bot Expected: Container starts, user sees "[container] started successfully" message Why human: Requires live Telegram bot and Docker environment to verify round-trip

2. Stop Container Flow

Test: Send "stop [running-container-name]" to Telegram bot Expected: Container stops with 10s grace period, user sees "[container] stopped successfully" Why human: Requires live environment, verifies graceful timeout behavior

3. Restart Container Flow

Test: Send "restart [container-name]" to Telegram bot Expected: Container restarts, user sees "[container] restarted successfully" Why human: Requires live environment

4. Fuzzy Matching

Test: Send "stop plex" when container is named "plex-server" or "linuxserver-plex" Expected: Matches and executes on the correct container Why human: Requires actual Docker containers with varying naming conventions

5. No-Match Suggestion

Test: Send "stop plx" when "plex" exists Expected: Shows "Did you mean plex?" with inline button Why human: Requires Telegram to verify button rendering and interaction

6. Suggestion Acceptance

Test: Click "Yes, stop plex" button on suggestion Expected: Container stops, suggestion message deleted, success message appears Why human: Requires Telegram callback interaction

7. Multiple Match Confirmation

Test: Send "stop arr" when sonarr, radarr, lidarr exist Expected: Shows list of containers with "Yes, stop 3 containers" button Why human: Requires multiple matching containers

8. Batch Execution

Test: Click confirm on multiple match confirmation Expected: All containers stop, confirmation deleted, "Successfully stopped 3 containers" message Why human: Requires callback interaction and multiple containers

9. Cancel Flow

Test: Click "Cancel" on any confirmation Expected: Confirmation message deleted, "Cancelled" toast appears, no action taken Why human: Requires Telegram callback interaction

10. Expiration Flow

Test: Wait 2+ minutes, then click confirmation button Expected: "Confirmation expired. Please try again." alert, message deleted Why human: Requires timeout behavior verification

11. Update Container (with update available)

Test: Send "update [container]" when newer image exists Expected: Image pulled, container recreated, "[container] updated: v1.0 -> v1.1" message Why human: Requires Docker registry with newer image, verifies full recreation flow

12. Update Container (already up to date)

Test: Send "update [container]" when image is current Expected: No message sent (silent behavior) Why human: Requires verifying absence of message

13. Update Multiple Match Rejection

Test: Send "update arr" when multiple containers match Expected: "Update requires exact container name. Found 3 matches: ..." Why human: Requires multiple matching containers

Gaps Summary

No gaps found. All must-haves verified against actual codebase:

1. Start/Stop/Restart (Plan 03-01): Route Message switch correctly routes action commands, Build Action Command constructs Docker API POST calls, Parse Action Result handles 204/304 success codes.

2. Callback Infrastructure (Plan 03-02): Telegram Trigger receives callback_query, Route Update Type and Route Callback properly dispatch, suggestion flow complete with Find Closest Match, Build Suggestion Keyboard, and callback execution path.

3. Batch Confirmation (Plan 03-03): Build Batch Keyboard creates inline buttons with container list, callback data contains array of IDs, batch execution chains commands and parses results, UI cleanup with message deletion.

4. Container Update (Plan 03-04): Full update flow from Parse Update Command through Send Update Result, including image pull, digest comparison, silent no-update path, and container recreation with config preservation.

All connections verified in the connections section of the workflow JSON (lines 1547-2343).
