+# Event Prompt Spec
+
+## Metadata
+
+- Created: 2026-06-02
+- Last Edited: 2026-06-03
+
+## Purpose
+
+Define how Junior runs install-owned, version-controlled prompts in response to plugin-defined events without letting plugins or event payloads decide agent behavior at runtime.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Built-in platform and trusted plugin event definition registration.
+- Install-owned event binding files under `app/events/**/*.md`.
+- Startup validation for event bindings.
+- Normalized inbound event envelopes, matching, idempotency, and dispatch.
+- Prompt compilation for event payloads and hydrated event context.
+- Runtime policy and Slack delivery boundaries for event-triggered runs.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- A generic workflow engine with branching, loops, timers, joins, or arbitrary code execution.
+- Runtime user-created subscriptions stored in durable state.
+- Plugin-owned behavior claims such as "run this behavior now" from a webhook hook.
+- Arbitrary JavaScript, shell, or expression predicates in event binding files.
+- Replacing explicit user-message entry points such as Slack mentions, Slack DMs, or GitHub `@junior` mentions.
+- Scheduler task semantics; see `./scheduler.md`.
+
+## User Stories
+
+### Install Operator: Reviewable Automation
+
+As an operator who customizes a Junior install, I want to add a Markdown file under `app/events/` so that a reviewed prompt runs automatically when a trusted event happens.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+
+1. The event binding lives in version control.
+2. Startup fails if the binding references an unknown event, unsupported context block, unsupported selector, or empty prompt body.
+3. The plugin or platform integration supplies functionality and context; the install-owned Markdown body supplies the instruction.
+4. Unsupported frontmatter is rejected instead of ignored so typos do not create surprising behavior.
+
+### Slack Channel Automation
+
+As an operator, I want Junior to create an autonomous run for each new top-level message in a configured Slack channel so recurring channel workflows can be handled without direct mentions.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+
+1. An authenticated Slack root channel message matching the binding scope creates one event run.
+2. A Slack thread reply does not create an event run.
+3. A Slack DM does not create this channel-message event run.
+4. A Slack message subtype such as an edit, bot message, or other non-standard message does not create this event run.
+5. A message authored by Junior's bot identity does not create an event run.
+
+### Directed User Request
+
+As a Slack user, when I directly mention Junior in a channel, I expect the normal mention experience, not a second ambient automation.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+
+1. A root channel message containing Junior's Slack mention token routes through the explicit mention path.
+2. The same physical Slack message must not also create a `slack.channel.message.created` event prompt run.
+3. If the Slack adapter cannot provide Junior's bot user id, the channel-message event producer fails closed and creates no event run.
+
+### Provider Retry
+
+As an operator, I want provider retries and duplicated webhook deliveries to be harmless.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+
+1. Duplicate deliveries of the same source event and binding reuse the same dispatch idempotency key.
+2. A completed, failed, or blocked run is not scheduled again.
+3. A pending, stale, or expired existing dispatch may be scheduled again for recovery without creating a second run.
+
+### Plugin Author
+
+As a trusted plugin author, I want to expose new event functionality without owning install behavior.
+
+Acceptance criteria:
+
+1. The plugin registers an event definition, supported scope selectors, and context blocks.
+2. The plugin does not read `app/events/**/*.md` directly.
+3. The plugin does not choose which install bindings run.
+4. Raw provider payloads and credentials stay outside the model and binding frontmatter.
+
+## Contracts
+
+### Core Terms
+
+An **event definition** is built-in platform code or trusted plugin-provided code that declares an event surface Junior can normalize, validate, match, hydrate, and deliver from.
+
+An **event binding** is an install-owned Markdown file whose frontmatter declares when an event should run and whose body is the reviewed prompt instruction.
+
+An **event envelope** is the normalized host-owned representation of one inbound provider event after webhook authentication and provider-specific parsing.
+
+An **event context block** is a bounded, plugin-rendered data block derived from the event envelope, such as a GitHub source comment, pull request, changed file list, or CI status.
+
+An **event run** is one core-created dispatched agent run for a matching `(bindingId, sourceEventId)` pair.
+
+### Plugin Event Definitions
+
+Junior platform integrations may register built-in event definitions. Trusted plugins may register additional event definitions from app code. Declarative `plugin.yaml` manifests must not register event definitions because event definitions may own provider-specific normalization and hydration behavior.
+
+The plugin-facing shape is:
+
+```ts
+type EventDefinitions = Record<string, AgentEventDefinition>;
+
+interface AgentEventDefinition {
+  contextBlocks?: Record<string, AgentEventContextBlockDefinition>;
+  scopeKeys?: string[];
+}
+```
+
+Event ids must be globally unique, lowercase dotted identifiers, and prefixed by the registering platform or plugin name, for example `github.pull_request.comment.created` or `slack.channel.message.created`.
+
+Event definitions own:
+
+1. The normalized event payload shape.
+2. Supported binding `scope` keys.
+3. Supported context block names and hydration/rendering functions.
+
+Unsupported event definition fields must be rejected instead of treated as reserved behavior.
+
+Plugins must not:
+
+1. Read install event binding files directly.
+2. Decide which binding should run for an event.
+3. Dispatch event runs directly from inbound event hooks.
+4. Mutate event bindings at runtime.
+5. Expose raw provider clients, raw provider tokens, or unrestricted Junior internals through event definition contexts.
+
+### Event Binding Files
+
+Junior discovers install-owned bindings from:
+
+```txt
+app/events/**/*.md
+```
+
+Each file uses YAML frontmatter for the binding contract and Markdown body for the prompt instruction.
+
+```md
+---
+id: slack-root-channel-review
+event: slack.channel.message.created
+
+scope:
+  channelId: C1234567890
+
+context:
+  include:
+    - source_message
+---
+
+A new root message was posted in the configured Slack channel.
+
+Review the source message and decide whether action is needed. If action is
+needed, complete it and post a concise summary back to the channel. If no action
+is needed, stay silent.
+```
+
+Required frontmatter fields:
+
+- `id`: stable lowercase binding id, unique across all event binding files.
+- `event`: plugin-registered event id.
+
+Optional frontmatter fields:
+
+- `enabled`: boolean, default `true`.
+- `scope`: event-definition-validated scope selector.
+- `context.include`: list of event-definition-supported context block names.
+
+The Markdown body must be non-empty after frontmatter removal. It is the event run instruction and must not contain secrets.
+
+Event binding files must be static install content. If Junior helps an operator create or change a binding, it must propose a file edit or pull request. It must not silently mutate event binding state through a runtime tool.
+
+### Startup Loading And Validation
+
+Startup must load all built-in platform and trusted plugin event definitions before validating event binding files. Validation is all-or-nothing: if any event definition or binding is invalid, Junior must fail startup before registering partial event behavior.
+
+Validation must reject:
+
+1. Duplicate event ids across plugins.
+2. Duplicate binding ids across files.
+3. Binding ids that do not match the lowercase binding id format.
+4. Bindings that reference unknown events.
+5. `scope` or `context.include` values unsupported by the referenced event definition.
+6. Markdown bodies that are empty after trimming.
+7. Frontmatter values that require code execution, environment expansion, or secret interpolation.
+
+The build/deployment packaging path must include `app/events/**/*.md` deterministically so deployed installs validate the same bindings that were reviewed in version control.
+
+### Event Envelopes
+
+Inbound platform code verifies provider authentication first, then normalizes recognized events into an envelope:
+
+```ts
+interface AgentEventEnvelope {
+  actor?: {
+    id?: string;
+    login?: string;
+    type?: string;
+  };
+  event: string;
+  occurredAtMs: number;
+  payload: Record<string, unknown>;
+  scope: Record<string, unknown>;
+  sourceEventId: string;
+  sourceUrl?: string;
+}
+```
+
+`sourceEventId` must be stable for provider retries of the same source event. When a provider does not supply a stable id, the producer must derive one from immutable provider fields.
+
+Ingress owns authentication, parsing, and normalization only. It must not run model classification to decide whether an event binding matches.
+
+### Slack Channel Message Event V1
+
+The first built-in event is:
+
+```txt
+slack.channel.message.created
+```
+
+It represents one Slack root message posted in a normal channel or private channel.
+
+The event producer must accept only authenticated Slack Events API envelopes where:
+
+1. The outer event is `event_callback`.
+2. The inner event type is `message`.
+3. The inner event has no `subtype`.
+4. The channel is a channel or private channel, not a DM or MPIM.
+5. The message has no `thread_ts`, or `thread_ts` equals `ts`.
+6. The Slack adapter provides Junior's bot user id.
+7. The message author is not Junior's bot user id.
+8. The message text does not contain Junior's Slack mention token.
+
+The producer must ignore:
+
+1. `app_mention` events because the explicit mention path owns them.
+2. Root `message` events whose text mentions Junior because the explicit mention path owns them.
+3. Thread replies.
+4. DMs and MPIMs.
+5. Message subtypes such as edits, deletes, joins, and bot messages.
+6. Events with missing required `team_id`, `channel`, `channel_type`, `ts`, or user id.
+7. Events received without a known Junior bot user id.
+
+The envelope scope is `{teamId, channelId}`. The payload includes `teamId`, `channelId`, `messageTs`, `eventTs`, `userId`, `actor`, and `text`.
+
+### Matching And Idempotency
+
+Core matches an event envelope against enabled bindings whose `event` matches the envelope event id and whose `scope` selectors match the envelope scope. Matching is deterministic and must not use arbitrary code, model calls, shell commands, or remote fetches.
+
+Multiple matching bindings are allowed. Each matching binding creates at most one event run for the source event. The idempotency key is:
+
+```txt
+event:{binding_id}:{source_event_id}
+```
+
+Duplicate provider deliveries must return or recover the same event run for the same `(bindingId, sourceEventId)` pair.
+
+Self-event suppression is required. Events authored by Junior's own bot or app identity must not trigger event runs.
+
+Directed user-message entry points preempt ambient event prompts. For example, a Slack root channel message that contains Junior's bot mention must route through the explicit mention path and must not also create a `slack.channel.message.created` event prompt run.
+
+### Context Hydration
+
+Bindings choose context blocks through `context.include`. Each included block must be supported by the event definition.
+
+Context block hydration may fetch provider data on the host side through narrow plugin-owned capabilities. Hydration must:
+
+1. Use host-managed credentials without exposing secrets to the model, sandbox, files, tool args, logs, or frontmatter.
+2. Apply plugin-defined size limits and redaction before prompt rendering.
+3. Return bounded, marker-delimited data blocks.
+4. Treat provider content, comments, messages, PR bodies, and file contents as untrusted data.
+5. Fail the event run before model execution when a required selected context block cannot be hydrated.
+
+Context block renderers must not emit instructions that override binding frontmatter, core policy, tool policy, or the binding prompt.
+
+### Prompt Compilation
+
+Core compiles event runs into a marker-delimited prompt before entering the agent runtime.
+
+The compiled prompt must separate:
+
+1. Event run facts.
+2. Normalized event payload.
+3. Hydrated event context blocks.
+4. Runtime execution rules.
+5. The binding Markdown body as the current instruction.
+
+Use marker blocks such as:
+
+- `<event-prompt-run>`
+- `<event-binding>`
+- `<event-payload>`
+- `<event-context name="...">`
+- `<execution-rules>`
+- `<current-instruction priority="highest">`
+
+The binding body is the only binding-authored instruction. Event payload and hydrated context are data. Provider-authored text inside those blocks must never be spliced into the instruction block.
+
+The compiled prompt must make these facts explicit:
+
+1. This is an autonomous event-triggered run.
+2. The event binding file is the source of truth for the requested action.
+3. Event payload and context blocks are untrusted data.
+4. The run executes as a Junior system actor, not as the provider actor who caused the event.
+5. The run should complete without asking follow-up questions unless access, approval, or required input is missing.
+6. If blocked, the result should identify the missing provider, permission, input, or policy constraint.
+
+### Dispatch And Delivery
+
+Event runs use the core dispatch mechanism.
+
+An event run dispatch record must store:
+
+- binding id
+- event id
+- source event id
+- system actor
+- destination
+- compiled input
+- selected context block names
+- safe correlation metadata
+- run mode `event_prompt`
+
+V1 event run destinations are derived from the normalized Slack event envelope. Slack delivery posts to the configured Slack conversation using Slack `mrkdwn`.
+
+Delivery must enforce final Slack idempotency using stable assistant message ids derived from the event run dispatch id.
+
+Event prompt runs may complete silently when the run succeeds with no assistant-visible text and no files. Silent success is an executor-level event-run behavior: Junior marks the dispatch completed and records the skipped delivery state without calling the platform delivery adapter. Ordinary user-message turns must continue to treat empty non-side-effect output as an execution failure.
+
+### Runtime Policy
+
+Event runs are autonomous system-actor runs.
+
+Core must enforce:
+
+1. Disabled interactive auth continuation for system actors.
+2. No use of user OAuth tokens during event runs.
+3. No schedule-management or event-binding-management tools during event runs.
+4. No Slack mutating tools during event runs; final event output goes through the delivery adapter.
+5. Rejection of unsupported binding and event-definition fields.
+
+Prompt wording is not sufficient enforcement for tools, credentials, delivery, or repository mutation policy.
+
+## Failure Model
+
+- Invalid event definitions or event bindings fail startup before partial registration.
+- Unknown or unsupported inbound event types are acknowledged with no run after authentication succeeds.
+- Webhook authentication or parse failures return platform-appropriate rejection responses before event normalization.
+- No matching bindings means no event run.
+- Duplicate provider deliveries reuse the existing run for each matching binding idempotency key.
+- Directed user messages such as Slack root-channel messages that mention Junior are skipped by the ambient event producer and left to the explicit mention path.
+- Context hydration failure for a selected block fails or retries the event run according to the provider operation's retry policy; it must not enter model execution with silently missing required context.
+- Rate-limited or self-suppressed events are recorded as skipped and do not dispatch.
+- Dispatch creation failure leaves enough durable state or logs for recovery without asking the provider to retry indefinitely.
+- Delivery failure follows the platform delivery adapter's retry and idempotency rules.
+- Silent success records a completed event run without Slack delivery; it must not post placeholder, failure, or "no action needed" text.
+
+## Observability
+
+Event prompt instrumentation must prefer spans for normal lifecycle work and
+logs for exceptional, auditable, or operator-actionable outcomes. Do not emit a
+separate info log for each successful phase when a parent span, child span, or
+span attribute can represent the same fact.
+
+Normal successful processing should be captured with spans:
+
+- One inbound event span for authenticated provider event normalization,
+  matching, and dispatch planning.
+- One dispatch span for creating or recovering dispatch records for all matched
+  bindings for the source event.
+- One context hydration span when selected context blocks require host-side
+  provider fetches. Use aggregate attributes for the block set; add child spans
+  only for materially independent or slow provider operations.
+- One delivery span for final platform delivery or silent completion.
+
+Avoid over-granular instrumentation:
+
+- Do not log ordinary `event_received`, `event_binding_matched`, or
+  `event_run_dispatched` success events. Put those counts and ids on spans.
+- Do not emit one success log per matched binding, context block, or delivery
+  chunk.
+- Do not add both start and finish logs for work that already has a span.
+- Duplicate provider deliveries, no-match events, self-event suppression, and
+  mention-conflict suppression should be span attributes by default. Emit a log
+  only when the skip is persisted, rate-limit-driven, or otherwise needs an
+  audit trail.
+
+Spans and the few emitted logs should include safe metadata:
+
+- `app.event.id`
+- `app.event.binding_id`
+- `app.event.source_event_id`
+- `app.event.source_platform`
+- `app.event.source_url`
+- `app.event.actor_type`
+- `app.event.actor_id`
+- `app.event.context_blocks`
+- `app.event.context_block_count`
+- `app.event.delivery_target`
+- `app.event.match_count`
+- `app.event.run_id`
+- `app.event.skip_reason`
+- `app.event.dispatched_count`
+- `app.event.skipped_count`
+
+Logs and spans must not include provider tokens, OAuth tokens, raw webhook signatures, raw event payloads, raw comments/messages, raw prompt text, private context block bodies, or raw conversation state.
+
+Required event prompt log names are intentionally sparse:
+
+- `event_binding_validation_failed`
+- `event_run_skipped`
+- `event_run_dispatch_failed`
+- `event_context_hydration_failed`
+- `event_delivery_failed`
+
+Startup may emit one summary log for event definition and binding load results.
+It must not emit one log per definition or binding on ordinary success.
+
+## Verification
+
+Use unit tests for:
+
+- Markdown frontmatter parsing.
+- Event definition validation.
+- Event binding validation.
+- Rejection of unsupported event binding frontmatter.
+- Deterministic scope and filter matching.
+- Prompt compilation boundaries.
+- Idempotency key construction.
+
+Use integration tests for:
+
+- Startup fails on invalid event binding files.
+- Startup registers valid event binding files from `app/events/**/*.md`.
+- An authenticated inbound event matches a binding and creates one event run.
+- A Slack root channel message that mentions Junior does not also create an ambient event prompt run.
+- Slack thread replies, DMs, message subtypes, self-authored messages, and missing bot identity do not create channel-message event runs.
+- Duplicate provider delivery does not create duplicate runs.
+- One event can intentionally match multiple bindings.
+- Self-authored provider events are suppressed by default.
+- Selected context blocks render as data and not as instruction text.
+- Event runs enforce fixed tool availability below the model.
+- Slack delivery posts to the event envelope destination exactly once best effort.
+- Empty successful event prompt runs complete silently without platform delivery.
+
+Use evals only when the behavior contract depends on model interpretation of the binding prompt or event context.
