Summary

This PR updates all documentation and code to use screen -R instead of screen -S and screen -r for better session management.

Changes Made

Documentation Updates

  • README.md: Updated bot session examples from screen -S bot to screen -R bot
  • docs/case-studies/issue-986/README.md:
    • Updated all screen command examples to use screen -R
    • Simplified documentation by consolidating create/reattach into single command
    • Updated code examples and usage patterns

Code Changes

  • src/start-screen.mjs: Updated console.log messages to suggest screen -R instead of screen -r
  • src/telegram-bot.mjs: Updated regex pattern to match screen -R in session name extraction
  • src/telegram-solve-queue.lib.mjs: Updated regex pattern to match screen -R in session name extraction
  • tests/test-telegram-message-edit-error-handling.mjs: Updated test expectations to match new output format

Experiment Scripts

  • experiments/test-issue-356-attach-scenario.sh: Updated comments to reference screen -R
  • experiments/test-issue-356-already-attached.sh: Updated attachment command to use screen -R

Changeset

  • Added changeset documenting this patch-level change

Why screen -R?

The -R flag is more versatile than -S (create) and -r (reattach) because it:

  • Reattaches to existing session if one exists with the given name
  • Creates new session if no session exists with that name
  • Provides consistent behavior regardless of session state

This makes it the safest and most universal option for session management.

Testing

All changes have been verified:

  • Documentation changes are consistent across all files
  • Code changes maintain backward compatibility (regex patterns still work)
  • Test expectations updated to match new output format
  • No breaking changes introduced

Notes

Commands using screen -S <name> -X ... were intentionally NOT changed, as these are used to send commands to existing sessions and the -S flag is appropriate for that use case.

Fixes #1134

Issue: #1134
@konard konard self-assigned this Jan 18, 2026
- Updated README.md to use screen -R for bot sessions
- Updated docs/case-studies/issue-986 to use screen -R consistently
- Updated console.log messages in src/start-screen.mjs to suggest screen -R
- Updated regex patterns in src/telegram-bot.mjs and src/telegram-solve-queue.lib.mjs
- Updated test expectations in tests/test-telegram-message-edit-error-handling.mjs
- Updated experiment scripts for consistency
- Added changeset for documentation update

The -R flag ensures we open existing screen if created, and new if not yet created,
making it the most safe and universal option to use.

Fixes #1134

May be also if we use screen -R we should look in the code fore usages of screen -S (some of which may be not needed anymore).

Get latest version of default branch, make all CI/CD checks pass and ensure all changes are correct, consistent and fully meet the requirements.

✅ Work Session Completed

Changes in this session:

  1. Merged latest main branch - Incorporated latest changes including the "Fine tune QUEUE_CONFIG" commit
  2. Fixed Prettier formatting - Resolved lint errors in changeset file and other files after merge
  3. Investigated screen -S usages - Per reviewer request, searched for all screen -S usages. Found that all remaining usages are screen -S <name> -X ... commands which are used to send commands to existing sessions (not to create sessions). These use -S to identify the target session name and are appropriate to keep.
  4. Updated test assertions - Tests were failing due to hardcoded QUEUE_CONFIG values that didn't match the new configuration from main. Updated:
    • MIN_START_INTERVAL_MS: 120000 → 60000 (1 minute)
    • RAM_THRESHOLD: 0.5 → 0.65 (65%)
    • CPU_THRESHOLD: 0.5 → 0.75 (75%)
    • CLAUDE_5_HOUR_SESSION_THRESHOLD: 0.9 → 0.85 (85%)
    • CLAUDE_WEEKLY_THRESHOLD: 0.99 → 0.98 (98%)

CI Status:

All checks passing ✅

Summary of PR changes:

  • Documentation updated to use screen -R instead of screen -S and screen -r
  • Code updated to suggest screen -R in console output messages
  • Regex patterns updated to match screen -R in session extraction
  • Tests updated to match new output format
  • Changeset added for this patch release
