The user is asking about the check-in frequency. Looking at the agent code, when connected, it's just a persistent WebSocket connection. The agent sends video frames at the configured FPS (frames per second), but there's no explicit heartbeat/check-in mechanism.

When disconnected, the agent waits 5 seconds before trying to reconnect.

Let me check the config and the main loop to give an accurate answer.


Currently, agents maintain a persistent WebSocket connection - they don't "check in" periodically. When connected:
- Video frames sent at configured FPS (default is probably 30fps based on typical settings)
- No explicit heartbeat mechanism

When disconnected, they wait 5 seconds and reconnect.

Let me push and deploy while checking the config:


cd /c/Users/MikeSwanson/Claude/guru-connect && git push

# Optional: override hostname

[encoding]
codec = "auto"      # auto, raw, vp9, h264

}


So the FPS is 30 by default. That means the agent sends data 30 times per second when connected (though it only sends frames when there are changes).

The user might be asking because they want a way to see connected agents even when there's no active viewer. Currently, there's no separate heartbeat mechanism - the WebSocket connection IS the "heartbeat". If the connection drops, the server removes the session.

Let me deploy the changes and explain this to the user.

Let me explain the check-in behavior to the user.


Agent deployed. To answer your question about check-in frequency:

**Current Behavior:**
- Agents maintain a **persistent WebSocket connection** - no polling/check-in
- When connected, video frames sent at **30 FPS** (only when screen changes)
- No explicit heartbeat mechanism
- If disconnected, reconnect attempt every **5 seconds**

**What this means:**
- If server restarts, agents appear in dashboard within ~5 seconds of server coming back up
- Connection is always-on, not periodic check-ins
- Server knows immediately when agent disconnects (WebSocket close event)

Would you like me to add a heartbeat mechanism for better connection health monitoring? For example:
- Agent sends heartbeat every 30 seconds
- Server marks agent offline if no heartbeat received in 60 seconds
- This would help detect "zombie" connections where the socket appears open but isn't actually working

Save a COMPREHENSIVE session log to session-logs/ directory. This is critical for context recovery.

## Filename
Use format `session-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-session.md` (today's date)

## If file exists
Append a new section with timestamp header (## Update: HH:MM), don't overwrite

## MANDATORY Content to Include

### 1. Session Summary
- What was accomplished in this session
- Key decisions made and rationale
- Problems encountered and how they were solved

### 2. ALL Credentials & Secrets (UNREDACTED)
**CRITICAL: Store credentials completely - these are needed for future sessions**
- API keys and tokens (full values)
- Usernames and passwords
- Database credentials
- JWT secrets
- SSH keys/passphrases if relevant
- Any authentication information used or discovered

Format credentials as:
```
### Credentials
- Service Name: username / password
- API Token: full_token_value
```

### 3. Infrastructure & Servers
- All IPs, hostnames, ports used
- Container names and configurations
- DNS records added or modified
- SSL certificates created
- Any network/firewall changes

### 4. Commands & Outputs
- Important commands run (especially complex ones)
- Key outputs and results
- Error messages and their resolutions

### 5. Configuration Changes
- Files created or modified (with paths)
- Settings changed
- Environment variables set

### 6. Pending/Incomplete Tasks
- What still needs to be done
- Blockers or issues awaiting resolution
- Next steps for future sessions

### 7. Reference Information
- URLs, endpoints, ports
- File paths that may be needed again
- Any technical details that might be forgotten

## After Saving
1. Commit with message: "Session log: [brief description of work done]"
2. Push to gitea remote
3. Confirm push was successful

## Purpose
This log MUST contain enough detail to fully restore context if this conversation is summarized or a new session starts. When in doubt, include MORE information rather than less. Future Claude instances will search these logs to find credentials and context.

## Update: 00:15 (Persistence & Hidden Console)

### Work Completed

1. **Fixed Persistence Logic**
   - Persistent agents (no code) now ALWAYS add to startup registry
   - Support sessions only temporarily in startup while active
   - Persistent agents automatically reconnect on any disconnect (5 second delay)
   - Support sessions exit without reconnecting

2. **Restricted Session Termination**
   - Persistent agents: No "End Session" menu item, shows "Managed by Administrator" (disabled)
   - Persistent agents can ONLY be removed via admin Disconnect button in dashboard
   - Support sessions: User can still end via tray icon "End Session"

3. **Hidden Console Window**
   - Added `#![windows_subsystem = "windows"]` for release builds - no console window
   - Agent runs silently with only tray icon visible
   - Added "Show Debug Window" menu item to tray
   - Uses AllocConsole() to show console on demand for troubleshooting

### Files Modified

- `agent/src/main.rs` - windows_subsystem, show_debug_console(), persistence logic fixes
- `agent/src/session/mod.rs` - show_debug_console(), handle ShowDebugWindow action
- `agent/src/tray/mod.rs` - Added debug_item, allow_end_session parameter
- `agent/Cargo.toml` - Added Win32_System_Console feature

### Key Code Changes

#### Hidden Console (main.rs)
```rust
// Hide console window by default on Windows (release builds)
#![cfg_attr(not(debug_assertions), windows_subsystem = "windows")]
```

#### Persistence Logic Fix (main.rs)
```rust
// Add to startup so we reconnect after reboot
// Persistent agents (no code) should ALWAYS be in startup
if let Err(e) = startup::add_to_startup() {
    warn!("Failed to add to startup");
}

// Only support sessions can be ended by user
let tray = tray::TrayController::new(&hostname, support_code.as_deref(), is_support_session);
```

#### Tray Menu (tray/mod.rs)
```rust
// Only show "End Session" for support sessions
let end_session_item = if allow_end_session {
    MenuItem::new("End Session", true, None)
} else {
    MenuItem::new("Managed by Administrator", false, None)
};

// Debug window option (always available)
let debug_item = MenuItem::new("Show Debug Window", true, None);
```

## Problems Encountered & Solutions

### 1. Windows Crate 0.58 Breaking Changes
- **Problem:** Many API changes from earlier versions
- **Solution:** Updated all affected files to match new API signatures

### 2. Tracing Macro Variable Collision
- **Problem:** Variable named `display` conflicted with tracing's `display` function
- **Solution:** Renamed variables to `target_display` or `primary_display`

### 3. Borrow Checker Issues
- **Problem:** Holding mutable borrow across async boundaries
- **Solution:** Restructured code to release borrows before calling methods on self

### 4. No Sudo Access on Build Server
- **Problem:** Couldn't install to /opt or create systemd service
- **Solution:** Deployed to home directory, running as user process

---

## Pending Tasks

1. **Server Persistence** - Currently running via nohup, will stop on reboot
   - Options: crontab @reboot, user systemd service, or get sudo access

2. **Test Agent on Windows** - Download and run agent to test full flow

3. **Authentication** - Currently using placeholder "dev-key" for API auth

4. **Integration with GuruRMM** - Dashboard components ready but not integrated

## Update: 23:15 (Continued Session - Major Agent Features)

### Work Completed

1. **Support Code to Session Linking**
   - Agent extracts 6-digit code from executable filename (e.g., `GuruConnect-123456.exe`)
   - Server links support codes to WebSocket sessions
   - Dashboard auto-refreshes every 3 seconds to show connected clients
   - Client machine name displayed when connected

2. **Cancellation Flow Implementation**
   - Server: Cancelling a code (even if connected) sends Disconnect message to agent
   - Server: Periodic cancellation check every 2 seconds during active session
   - Server: Rejects connections with already-cancelled codes
   - Agent: Handles Disconnect message with "cancelled" reason
   - Agent: Shows Windows MessageBox notification to user
   - Agent: Exits cleanly without reconnecting for support sessions

3. **System Tray Icon**
   - Green circle tray icon when connected
   - Menu shows: Session code, Machine name, "End Session"
   - Windows message queue pumping for event handling
   - Clicking "End Session" cleanly terminates the agent

4. **UAC Elevation Support**
   - Windows manifest requesting `highestAvailable` privileges
   - Embedded via winres crate in build.rs
   - `is_elevated()` function to detect admin status
   - Logs elevation status on startup

5. **Startup Persistence**
   - Agent adds itself to `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run`
   - Persists through reboots until session ends
   - Removed from startup on session end (cancel, user exit, or completion)

6. **Chat System (In Progress)**
   - Added ChatMessage to protobuf (id, sender, content, timestamp)
   - Server relays chat between agent and viewer
   - Agent chat module created (shows messages via MessageBox)
   - Chat controller with command/message channels

### Files Created/Modified

#### New Files
- `agent/src/tray/mod.rs` - System tray icon and menu
- `agent/src/startup.rs` - Windows registry startup persistence
- `agent/src/chat/mod.rs` - Chat window controller
- `agent/guruconnect.manifest` - Windows UAC manifest

#### Modified Files
- `agent/Cargo.toml` - Added tray-icon, muda, winres, image crates
- `agent/build.rs` - Embed manifest via winres
- `agent/src/main.rs` - Integrated tray, chat, startup, elevation detection
- `agent/src/session/mod.rs` - Chat message handling, tray event processing
- `server/src/relay/mod.rs` - Chat relay, cancellation checks
- `server/src/support_codes.rs` - Cancel connected codes, is_cancelled check
- `proto/guruconnect.proto` - Added ChatMessage type

### Key Code Sections

#### Filename Code Extraction (agent/src/main.rs)
```rust
fn extract_code_from_filename() -> Option<String> {
    let exe_path = std::env::current_exe().ok()?;
    let filename = exe_path.file_stem()?.to_str()?;
    for part in filename.split(|c| c == '-' || c == '_' || c == '.') {
        if part.len() == 6 && part.chars().all(|c| c.is_ascii_digit()) {
            return Some(part.to_string());
        }
    }
    None
}
```

#### Windows Message Pumping (agent/src/tray/mod.rs)
```rust
#[cfg(windows)]
fn pump_windows_messages() {
    unsafe {
        let mut msg = MSG::default();
        while PeekMessageW(&mut msg, None, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE).as_bool() {
            let _ = TranslateMessage(&msg);
            DispatchMessageW(&msg);
        }
    }
}
```

#### Cancellation Check Loop (server/src/relay/mod.rs)
```rust
let cancel_check = tokio::spawn(async move {
    let mut interval = tokio::time::interval(Duration::from_secs(2));
    loop {
        interval.tick().await;
        if support_codes_check.is_cancelled(&code).await {
            // Send disconnect message and close connection
        }
    }
});
```

### Git Commits This Update
```
8246d13 Add cancellation flow for support sessions
dea96bd Add system tray icon with menu for agent
c57429f Fix tray icon event handling on Windows
43f15b0 Add UAC elevation support with manifest
0dcbae6 Add startup persistence for support sessions
[pending] Chat functionality commits
```

### Pending Tasks

1. **Chat Functionality (In Progress)**
   - Agent chat built, needs testing
   - Dashboard chat interface not yet implemented
   - Need to add chat UI to dashboard.html

2. **Dashboard Chat Interface**
   - Add chat panel to viewer
   - Send/receive chat messages via WebSocket

3. **Test Full Flow**
   - Test chat with connected agent
   - Verify all features work together

### Server Deployment Notes

**Important:** After server changes, deploy with:
```bash
ssh guru@172.16.3.30 "kill \$(pgrep -f guruconnect-server); sleep 2"
ssh guru@172.16.3.30 "rm -f ~/guru-connect/target/release/guruconnect-server"
ssh guru@172.16.3.30 "cp ~/guru-connect/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/guruconnect-server ~/guru-connect/target/release/"
ssh guru@172.16.3.30 "cd ~/guru-connect && nohup ./target/release/guruconnect-server > server.log 2>&1 &"
```

The systemd service path was incorrect - server expects to be run from `~/guru-connect` directory for static file serving.

### Current Agent Binary Location
- Windows: `C:\Users\MikeSwanson\Claude\guru-connect\target\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\release\guruconnect-agent.exe`
- For distribution: Copy to `guru@172.16.3.30:~/guru-connect/server/static/GuruConnect.exe`

### Key Code Sections

#### Uninstall Function (agent/src/startup.rs)
```rust
pub fn uninstall() -> Result<()> {
    // Remove from startup registry
    let _ = remove_from_startup();

    // Schedule exe for deletion on reboot
    let exe_path = std::env::current_exe()?;
    unsafe {
        MoveFileExW(
            PCWSTR(exe_wide.as_ptr()),
            PCWSTR::null(),
            MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT,
        );
    }
    Ok(())
}
```

#### Disconnect Session (server/src/session/mod.rs)
```rust
pub async fn disconnect_session(&self, session_id: SessionId, reason: &str) -> bool {
    if let Some(session_data) = sessions.get(&session_id) {
        let disconnect_msg = proto::Message {
            payload: Some(proto::message::Payload::Disconnect(proto::Disconnect {
                reason: reason.to_string(),
            })),
        };
        // Send via input channel to agent
        session_data.input_tx.send(buf).await.is_ok()
    }
}
```

#### Chat Protobuf Encoding (dashboard.html)
```javascript
function encodeChatMessage(msg) {
    // ChatMessage: id(1), sender(2), content(3), timestamp(4)
    // Wrapped in Message with payload field 60
    const fieldTag = (60 << 3) | 2;
    wrapper.push((fieldTag & 0x7f) | 0x80);
    wrapper.push(fieldTag >> 7);
    // ... encode ChatMessage fields

Conversation compacted


This session is being continued from a previous conversation that ran out of context. The conversation is summarized below:
Analysis:
Let me chronologically analyze this conversation to capture all important details:

1. **Session Context Recovery**: The conversation started with context from a previous session about GuruConnect - a remote desktop solution similar to ScreenConnect. Key infrastructure was already in place.

2. **Dashboard Chat Implementation**: The main task was to continue implementing chat functionality. I:
   - Added chat modal HTML to dashboard.html
   - Added JavaScript for WebSocket connection and message handling
   - Created simplified protobuf encoder/decoder in JavaScript
   - Added Chat button to sessions table for connected sessions

3. **Server Deployment Issues**:
   - Had issues with Windows PATH bleeding into SSH commands (exit code 127)
   - Fixed by using heredoc syntax with `bash << 'ENDSSH'`
   - Server was looking for static files in wrong directory
   - Created symlink: `~/guru-connect/static` -> `server/static`

4. **Disconnect/Uninstall for Persistent Sessions**: User asked about machines JOHN-PC and PAMEPO that appeared in dashboard, then requested ability to disconnect persistent sessions:
   - Added DELETE /api/sessions/:id endpoint
   - Added SessionManager.disconnect_session() method
   - Agent handles ADMIN_DISCONNECT to trigger uninstall
   - Added startup::uninstall() function using MoveFileExW for scheduled deletion
   - Added Disconnect button in dashboard Access tab

5. **Persistence Logic Fix**: User noticed machines disappeared and questioned how - led to discovering inverted persistence logic:
   - Original: Only support sessions got startup persistence (wrong!)
   - Fixed: ALL agents add to startup, cleanup on explicit exit only
   - Persistent agents always reconnect on disconnect

6. **Session Termination Restrictions**: User clarified that "All sessions should restart on their own. Only support sessions should have the ability to end a session from the client side. Permanent sessions should only able to be removed from persistence by technician/admin"
   - Modified TrayController to accept `allow_end_session` parameter
   - Persistent agents show "Managed by Administrator" (disabled menu item)
   - Only support sessions show "End Session" menu
   - Removed exit_requested checks for persistent agents

7. **Hidden Console Window**: User requested no visible window, only tray icon visible, with "Debug Window" option:
   - Added `#![windows_subsystem = "windows"]` attribute
   - Added "Show Debug Window" menu item to tray
   - Implemented show_debug_console() using AllocConsole()
   - Added Win32_System_Console feature to Cargo.toml

8. **Connection Check-in Discussion**: User asked how often agents check in:
   - Explained persistent WebSocket connection (not polling)
   - 30 FPS for video frames
   - 5 second reconnect delay
   - No explicit heartbeat currently

9. **Session Log Save**: Final request was to save session log.

Key files modified:
- server/static/dashboard.html - Chat modal, disconnect button, chat JavaScript
- server/src/main.rs - DELETE /api/sessions/:id endpoint
- server/src/session/mod.rs - disconnect_session() method
- agent/src/main.rs - windows_subsystem, persistence logic, show_debug_console
- agent/src/session/mod.rs - show_debug_console, handle ShowDebugWindow
- agent/src/tray/mod.rs - allow_end_session parameter, debug_item
- agent/src/startup.rs - uninstall() function
- agent/Cargo.toml - Win32_System_Console, Win32_Storage_FileSystem features

User messages (non-tool):
1. "Where did these come from?" (about machines in dashboard)
2. "Perhaps howard is messing with those, let's add a method to delete persistent sessions."
3. "And be sure to trigger a full uninstall on the client side for ended sessions."
4. "Those machines disappeared, even without the ability to remove them (before implemented) How did they do that?"
5. "Closing the application shouldn't remove persistent sessions, no? Same with disconnections and server restarts. Persistent = persistent?"
6. "All sessions should restart on their own. Only support sessions should have the ability to end a session from the client side. Permanent sessions should only able to be removed from persistence by technician/admin"
7. "Now I'd like there to be no window open when run. Only the tray is visible, for now add a 'Debug Window' to tray which will show that window."
8. "How often are agents checking in with the server?"
9. "/s" (save session)

Errors encountered:
- Exit code 127 with SSH commands due to Windows PATH issues - fixed with heredoc
- Server not finding static files - fixed with symlink
- Persistence logic inverted - fixed by always adding to startup

Summary:
1. Primary Request and Intent:
   The user is building GuruConnect, a ScreenConnect replacement for remote desktop support. In this session, the explicit requests were:
   - Complete dashboard chat interface with WebSocket connection
   - Add method to disconnect/uninstall persistent sessions from dashboard
   - Fix persistence logic so persistent agents truly persist (always reconnect, survive reboots)
   - Restrict "End Session" to support sessions only - persistent agents managed by admin only
   - Hide console window, show only tray icon, add "Debug Window" option to tray
   - Save comprehensive session log

2. Key Technical Concepts:
   - Windows `#![windows_subsystem = "windows"]` attribute to hide console
   - AllocConsole() / GetConsoleWindow() for showing debug console on demand
   - MoveFileExW with MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT for uninstalling running executables
   - Windows registry startup persistence (HKCU\...\Run)
   - WebSocket persistent connections vs polling/heartbeat
   - Protobuf encoding/decoding in JavaScript (simplified manual implementation)
   - muda/tray-icon crates for Windows system tray

3. Files and Code Sections:

   - **server/static/dashboard.html** - Chat modal and disconnect functionality
     - Added chat modal HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
     - Added simplified protobuf encoder/decoder
     - Added Disconnect button in Access tab
     ```javascript
     function encodeChatMessage(msg) {
         // ChatMessage: id(1), sender(2), content(3), timestamp(4)
         // Wrapped in Message with payload field 60
         const fieldTag = (60 << 3) | 2;
         wrapper.push((fieldTag & 0x7f) | 0x80);
         wrapper.push(fieldTag >> 7);
         // ... encode ChatMessage fields
     }

     async function disconnectMachine(sessionId, machineName) {
         if (!confirm("Disconnect " + machineName + "?")) return;
         const response = await fetch("/api/sessions/" + sessionId, { method: "DELETE" });
         // ...
     }
     ```

   - **server/src/main.rs** - Added DELETE endpoint for sessions
     ```rust
     .route("/api/sessions/:id", axum::routing::delete(disconnect_session))

     async fn disconnect_session(
         State(state): State<AppState>,
         Path(id): Path<String>,
     ) -> impl IntoResponse {
         let session_id = match uuid::Uuid::parse_str(&id) { ... };
         if state.sessions.disconnect_session(session_id, "Disconnected by administrator").await {
             (StatusCode::OK, "Session disconnected")
         } else {
             (StatusCode::NOT_FOUND, "Session not found")
         }
     }
     ```

   - **server/src/session/mod.rs** - Added disconnect_session method
     ```rust
     pub async fn disconnect_session(&self, session_id: SessionId, reason: &str) -> bool {
         let sessions = self.sessions.read().await;
         if let Some(session_data) = sessions.get(&session_id) {
             let disconnect_msg = proto::Message {
                 payload: Some(proto::message::Payload::Disconnect(proto::Disconnect {
                     reason: reason.to_string(),
                 })),
             };
             let mut buf = Vec::new();
             if disconnect_msg.encode(&mut buf).is_ok() {
                 if session_data.input_tx.send(buf).await.is_ok() {
                     return true;
                 }
             }
         }
         false
     }
     ```

   - **agent/src/main.rs** - Hidden console, persistence logic, debug console
     ```rust
     // Hide console window by default on Windows (release builds)
     #![cfg_attr(not(debug_assertions), windows_subsystem = "windows")]

     // Persistence - ALL agents add to startup
     if let Err(e) = startup::add_to_startup() {
         warn!("Failed to add to startup");
     }

     // Only support sessions can be ended by user
     let tray = match tray::TrayController::new(&hostname, config.support_code.as_deref(), is_support_session) { ... };

     // Handle ADMIN_DISCONNECT
     if error_msg.contains("ADMIN_DISCONNECT") {
         if let Err(e) = startup::uninstall() { warn!("Uninstall failed: {}", e); }
         show_message_box("Remote Session Ended", "...agent will be removed...");
         return Ok(());
     }
     ```

   - **agent/src/tray/mod.rs** - Restricted End Session, added Debug Window
     ```rust
     pub fn new(machine_name: &str, support_code: Option<&str>, allow_end_session: bool) -> Result<Self> {
         let end_session_item = if allow_end_session {
             MenuItem::new("End Session", true, None)
         } else {
             MenuItem::new("Managed by Administrator", false, None)
         };
         let debug_item = MenuItem::new("Show Debug Window", true, None);
         // ...
     }
     ```

   - **agent/src/startup.rs** - Added uninstall function
     ```rust
     pub fn uninstall() -> Result<()> {
         let _ = remove_from_startup();
         let exe_path = std::env::current_exe()?;
         unsafe {
             MoveFileExW(
                 PCWSTR(exe_wide.as_ptr()),
                 PCWSTR::null(),
                 MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT,
             );
         }
         Ok(())
     }
     ```

   - **agent/src/session/mod.rs** - Added show_debug_console
     ```rust
     #[cfg(windows)]
     fn show_debug_console() {
         unsafe {
             let hwnd = GetConsoleWindow();
             if hwnd.0 == std::ptr::null_mut() {
                 let _ = AllocConsole();
             } else {
                 let _ = ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW);
             }
         }
     }
     ```

   - **agent/Cargo.toml** - Added Windows features
     ```toml
     "Win32_System_Console",
     "Win32_Storage_FileSystem",
     ```

4. Errors and fixes:
   - **SSH exit code 127 with Windows PATH issues**:
     - Error: `bash: line 1: C:/Program: No such file or directory`
     - Fix: Used heredoc syntax `ssh user@host bash << 'ENDSSH'` with explicit PATH setting

   - **Server not finding static files (404)**:
     - Server looking for `static/` relative to working directory `/home/guru/guru-connect/`
     - Static files were in `/home/guru/guru-connect/server/static/`
     - Fix: Created symlink `ln -s server/static ~/guru-connect/static`

   - **Persistence logic inverted**:
     - User feedback: "Closing the application shouldn't remove persistent sessions, no?"
     - Original code only added support sessions to startup
     - Fix: All agents add to startup, cleanup only on explicit user exit

5. Problem Solving:
   - Solved chat implementation with simplified protobuf encoding in JavaScript
   - Solved admin disconnect by sending Disconnect message via input channel
   - Solved uninstall by scheduling exe deletion with MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT
   - Solved hidden console with windows_subsystem attribute and AllocConsole for debug

6. All user messages:
   - "Where did these come from?" (screenshot of JOHN-PC and PAMEPO machines)
   - "Perhaps howard is messing with those, let's add a method to delete persistent sessions."
   - "And be sure to trigger a full uninstall on the client side for ended sessions."
   - "Those machines disappeared, even without the ability to remove them (before implemented) How did they do that?"
   - "Closing the application shouldn't remove persistent sessions, no? Same with disconnections and server restarts. Persistent = persistent?"
   - "All sessions should restart on their own. Only support sessions should have the ability to end a session from the client side. Permanent sessions should only able to be removed from persistence by technician/admin"
   - "Now I'd like there to be no window open when run. Only the tray is visible, for now add a 'Debug Window' to tray which will show that window."
   - "How often are agents checking in with the server?"
   - "/s" (save session command)

7. Pending Tasks:
   - Full Viewer Implementation (video display)
   - File Transfer functionality
   - Proper Authentication (replace "dev-key")
   - Heartbeat Mechanism (optional)
   - Chat Reply from Client (UI to send messages back)

8. Current Work:
   Was completing the session log save request after implementing hidden console and debug window. The agent has been deployed with:
   - Hidden console by default
   - "Show Debug Window" tray menu option
   - Restricted "End Session" to support sessions only
   - Persistent agents reconnect automatically, can only be removed by admin

   Session log was being committed when the summary was requested.

9. Optional Next Step:
   The session log commit and push need to be completed. After that, there are no immediate explicit user requests pending. The user asked about heartbeat mechanism but did not explicitly request implementation - they asked "Would you like me to add a heartbeat mechanism?" but the conversation was interrupted by the /s command before they could respond..
Please continue the conversation from where we left it off without asking the user any further questions. Continue with the last task that you were asked to work on.


I'll complete the session log save that was in progress. Let me first check the current state of the session log and commit it.
