## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Prerequisites

**System Requirements:**
- Node.js >= 14.0.0
- **tmux** (required for command injection)
- Active tmux session with Claude Code running

### 2. Install

```bash
git clone https://github.com/JessyTsui/Claude-Code-Remote.git
cd Claude-Code-Remote
npm install
```

### 3. Choose Your Platform

#### Option A: Configure Email (Recommended for Beginners)

```bash
# Copy example config
cp .env.example .env

# Edit with your email credentials
nano .env
```

**Required email settings:**
```env
EMAIL_ENABLED=true
SMTP_USER=your-email@gmail.com
SMTP_PASS=your-app-password
IMAP_USER=your-email@gmail.com  
IMAP_PASS=your-app-password
EMAIL_TO=your-notification-email@gmail.com
ALLOWED_SENDERS=your-notification-email@gmail.com
SESSION_MAP_PATH=/your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/src/data/session-map.json
```

📌 **Gmail users**: Use [App Passwords](https://myaccount.google.com/security), not your regular password.

#### Option B: Configure Telegram ✅ **NEW**

**Quick Setup:**
```bash
chmod +x setup-telegram.sh
./setup-telegram.sh
```

**Manual Setup:**
1. Create bot via [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather)
2. Get your Chat ID from bot API
3. Configure webhook URL (use ngrok for local testing)

**Required Telegram settings:**
```env
TELEGRAM_ENABLED=true
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your-bot-token-here
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=your-chat-id-here
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL=https://your-ngrok-url.app
SESSION_MAP_PATH=/your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/src/data/session-map.json
```

#### Option C: Configure LINE

**Required LINE settings:**
```env
LINE_ENABLED=true
LINE_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-token
LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET=your-secret
LINE_USER_ID=your-user-id
```

### 4. Configure Claude Code Hooks

Create hooks configuration file:

**Method 1: Global Configuration (Recommended)**
```bash
# Add to ~/.claude/settings.json
{
  "hooks": {
    "Stop": [{
      "matcher": "*",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "node /your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/claude-hook-notify.js completed",
        "timeout": 5
      }]
    }],
    "SubagentStop": [{
      "matcher": "*",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "node /your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/claude-hook-notify.js waiting",
        "timeout": 5
      }]
    }]
  }
}
```

**Method 2: Project-Specific Configuration**
```bash
# Set environment variable
export CLAUDE_HOOKS_CONFIG=/your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/claude-hooks.json
```

> **Note**: Subagent notifications are disabled by default. To enable them, set `enableSubagentNotifications: true` in your config. See [Subagent Notifications Guide](./docs/SUBAGENT_NOTIFICATIONS.md) for details.

### 5. Start Services

#### For All Platforms (Recommended)
```bash
# Automatically starts all enabled platforms
npm run webhooks
# or
node start-all-webhooks.js
```

#### For Individual Platforms

**For Email:**
```bash
npm run daemon:start
# or
node claude-remote.js daemon start
```

**For Telegram:**
```bash
npm run telegram
# or
node start-telegram-webhook.js
```

**For LINE:**
```bash
npm run line
# or
node start-line-webhook.js
```

### 6. Test Your Setup

**Quick Test:**
```bash
# Test all notification channels
node claude-hook-notify.js completed
# Should receive notifications via all enabled platforms
```

**Full Test:**
1. Start Claude in tmux session with hooks enabled
2. Run any command in Claude
3. Check for notifications (email/Telegram/LINE)
4. Reply with new command to test two-way control

## 🎮 How It Works

1. **Use Claude normally** in tmux session
2. **Get notifications** when Claude completes tasks via:
   - 🔊 **Sound alert** (Desktop)
   - 📧 **Email notification with execution trace** (if enabled)
   - 📱 **Telegram message with buttons** (if enabled)
   - 💬 **LINE message** (if enabled)
3. **Reply with commands** using any platform
4. **Commands execute automatically** in Claude

### Platform Command Formats

**Email:**
```
Simply reply to notification email with your command
No special formatting required
```

**Telegram:** ✅ **NEW**
```
Click smart button to get format:
📝 Personal Chat: /cmd TOKEN123 your command here
👥 Group Chat: @bot_name /cmd TOKEN123 your command here
```

**LINE:**
```
Reply to notification with: Your command here
(Token automatically extracted from conversation context)
```

### Advanced Configuration

**Email Notification Options**

1. **Subagent Activities in Email**

   By default, email notifications only show the execution trace. You can optionally enable a separate subagent activities summary section:

   ```json
   // In your config/config.json
   {
     "showSubagentActivitiesInEmail": true  // Default: false
   }
   ```

   When enabled, emails will include:
   - **Subagent Activities Summary**: A structured list of all subagent activities
   - **Full Execution Trace**: The complete terminal output

   Since the execution trace already contains all information, this feature is disabled by default to keep emails concise.

2. **Execution Trace Display**

   You can control whether to include the execution trace in email notifications:

   ```json
   // In your email channel configuration
   {
     "email": {
       "config": {
         "includeExecutionTrace": false  // Default: true
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   - When `true` (default): Shows a scrollable execution trace section in emails
   - When `false`: Removes the execution trace section entirely from emails

   This is useful if you find the execution trace too verbose or if your email client has issues with scrollable content.

- **Long-running Tasks**: Monitor progress and guide next steps remotely
- **Multi-location Development**: Control Claude from anywhere without VPN

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Not receiving notifications from Claude?**
1. Check hooks configuration in tmux session:
   ```bash
   echo $CLAUDE_HOOKS_CONFIG
   ```
2. Verify Claude is running with hooks enabled
3. Test notification manually:
   ```bash
   node claude-hook-notify.js completed
   ```

**Telegram bot not responding?** ✅ **NEW**
```bash
# Test bot connectivity
curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN/sendMessage" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"chat_id\": $TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID, \"text\": \"Test\"}"

# Check webhook status
curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN/getWebhookInfo"
```

**Commands not executing in Claude?**
```bash
# Check tmux session exists
tmux list-sessions

# Verify injection mode
grep INJECTION_MODE .env  # Should be 'tmux'

# Test injection
node test-injection.js
```

**Not receiving emails?**
- Run `node claude-remote.js test` to test email setup
- Check spam folder
- Verify SMTP settings in `.env`
- For Gmail: ensure you're using App Password

### Debug Mode
```bash
# Enable detailed logging
LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run webhooks
DEBUG=true node claude-hook-notify.js completed
```

## 🛡️ Security

### Multi-Platform Authentication
- ✅ **Email**: Sender whitelist via `ALLOWED_SENDERS` environment variable
- ✅ **Telegram**: Bot token and chat ID verification
- ✅ **LINE**: Channel secret and access token validation
- ✅ **Session Tokens**: 8-character alphanumeric tokens for command verification

### Session Security
- ✅ **Session Isolation**: Each token controls only its specific tmux session
- ✅ **Auto Expiration**: Sessions timeout automatically after 24 hours
- ✅ **Token-based Commands**: All platforms require valid session tokens
- ✅ **Minimal Data Storage**: Session files contain only necessary information
