Agent

Configuration

• The agent needs a valid configuration and will prompt the user to help create it if one isn't found.
• Configuration is stored using the Fyne Preferences API.
• LoadConfig in internal/agent/config.go is responsible for loading the config. It will also create a new config (prompting the user for required details via runRegistrationWorker) if needed.

Contexts

The agent creates a cancellable context for itself. Any platform code should accept this context and handle context cancellation gracefully (adding their own timeouts, cancellations as needed). More details in development.

Data Updates

• Data updates are left entirely up to the individual sensors and the platform the app is running on. For example, on Linux, location and running apps are updated as often as the relevant information is published on the user's session DBus. More details about how sensor updates work can be found in development/sensors.

Notifications

• The agent supports receiving notifications from Home Assistant via a websocket connection.
• Notifications are displayed using the Fyne Notification API.
