# RLM Messaging Events

Documentation for how the RLM (Recursive Language Models) addon reports progress via AIWG's messaging hub to Slack, Discord, and Telegram.

**Issue**: #327
**Version**: 1.0.0

## Overview

RLM operations decompose tasks into recursive sub-agent trees that can run for minutes to hours, processing large codebases or document corpora. Remote monitoring via chat platforms enables users to track progress, manage budgets, and respond to alerts without constant terminal access.

The AIWG messaging hub (`tools/messaging/index.mjs`) provides event-driven notifications. RLM publishes structured events to the hub's EventBus, which are formatted and broadcast to all connected chat adapters (Slack, Discord, Telegram).

## RLM Event Types

### Tree Lifecycle Events

#### `rlm:tree:started`

Published when a new task tree is initiated.

**Event Payload**:
```typescript
{
  topic: 'rlm:tree:started',
  source: 'rlm-agent',
  severity: 'info',
  summary: 'RLM task tree started: {tree_id}',
  details: {
    tree_id: 'tree-a1b2c3d4',
    root_prompt: 'Analyze security risks in authentication module',
    estimated_nodes: 5,
    max_depth: 3,
    root_model: 'claude-sonnet-4.5',
    sub_model: 'codex-mini-latest',

## Message Formatting

### Progress Bar Rendering

For chat platforms with limited formatting, progress is rendered as ASCII:

```
[████████░░] 4/10 nodes (40%)
```

**Generation algorithm**:
```typescript
function renderProgressBar(completed: number, total: number, width = 10): string {
  const pct = Math.round((completed / total) * 100);
  const filled = Math.round((completed / total) * width);
  const empty = width - filled;

  const bar = '█'.repeat(filled) + '░'.repeat(empty);
  return `[${bar}] ${completed}/${total} nodes (${pct}%)`;
}
```

### Cost Formatting

```typescript
function formatCost(cost_usd: number, budget_usd?: number): string {
  if (budget_usd) {
    const pct = ((cost_usd / budget_usd) * 100).toFixed(1);
    return `$${cost_usd.toFixed(2)} / $${budget_usd.toFixed(2)} budget (${pct}%)`;
  }
  return `$${cost_usd.toFixed(2)}`;
}

// Examples:
// formatCost(0.42, 5.0)  → "$0.42 / $5.00 budget (8.4%)"
// formatCost(1.25)       → "$1.25"
```

### Platform-Specific Formatting

#### Slack

Uses Slack Block Kit for rich formatting:

```json
{
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "header",
      "text": {
        "type": "plain_text",
        "text": "🌳 RLM Task Tree Started"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "section",
      "fields": [
        {"type": "mrkdwn", "text": "*Tree ID:*\ntree-a1b2c3d4"},
        {"type": "mrkdwn", "text": "*Budget:*\n100,000 tokens ($2.50)"}
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "context",
      "elements": [
        {"type": "mrkdwn", "text": "Project: my-project | Started: 2026-02-09 10:00:00 UTC"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Discord

Uses Discord embeds:

```json
{
  "embeds": [
    {
      "title": "🌳 RLM Task Tree Started",
      "color": 3447003,
      "fields": [
        {"name": "Tree ID", "value": "tree-a1b2c3d4", "inline": true},
        {"name": "Budget", "value": "100,000 tokens ($2.50)", "inline": true},
        {"name": "Prompt", "value": "Analyze security risks in authentication module"}
      ],
      "footer": {
        "text": "Project: my-project"
      },
      "timestamp": "2026-02-09T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Telegram

Uses Telegram markdown:

```
🌳 *RLM Task Tree Started*

*Tree ID:* tree-a1b2c3d4
*Prompt:* Analyze security risks in authentication module

Estimated nodes: 5 (max depth: 3)
Models: claude-sonnet-4.5 (root) → codex-mini-latest (sub)
Budget: 100,000 tokens ($2.50)

_Project: my-project_
_Started: 2026-02-09 10:00:00 UTC_
```

## Subscription Configuration

### Verbosity Levels

**Default subscription** (normal verbosity):
```yaml
subscriptions:
  - rlm:tree:started
  - rlm:tree:progress
  - rlm:tree:completed
  - rlm:budget:warning
  - rlm:budget:exceeded
```

**Quiet mode** (tree lifecycle only):
```yaml
subscriptions:
  - rlm:tree:started
  - rlm:tree:completed
  - rlm:budget:exceeded
```

**Verbose mode** (every node):
```yaml
subscriptions:
  - rlm:tree:started
  - rlm:tree:progress
  - rlm:tree:completed
  - rlm:node:started
  - rlm:node:completed
  - rlm:node:failed
  - rlm:budget:warning
  - rlm:budget:exceeded
```

### Progress Update Frequency

**Time-based** (default: every 30 seconds):
```yaml
progress_updates:
  mode: time
  interval_seconds: 30
```

**Node-based** (after each node completion):
```yaml
progress_updates:
  mode: node
  interval_nodes: 1
```

**Hybrid** (whichever comes first):
```yaml
progress_updates:
  mode: hybrid
  interval_seconds: 30
  interval_nodes: 1
```

### Configuration via Environment

```bash
# Verbosity
export AIWG_RLM_MESSAGING_VERBOSITY=normal  # quiet | normal | verbose

# Progress update frequency
export AIWG_RLM_MESSAGING_PROGRESS_INTERVAL=30  # seconds

# Budget alert thresholds
export AIWG_RLM_BUDGET_WARN_THRESHOLD=80   # percent
export AIWG_RLM_BUDGET_ABORT_THRESHOLD=100 # percent
```

### RLM Operations Publishing Events

```typescript
// In RLM agent or tree executor
import { EventBus } from '@aiwg/messaging';
import { EventTopic } from '@aiwg/messaging/types';

        context_tokens: node.context.size_tokens
      },
      project: process.cwd().split('/').pop(),
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
    });

    // Execute node...

        topic: EventTopic.RLM_BUDGET_WARNING,
        source: 'rlm-agent',
        severity: 'warning',
        summary: `RLM budget warning: ${budget.usage_pct}% used`,
        details: {
          tree_id,
          alert_id: generateAlertId(),
          alert_type: 'warn',
          threshold_pct: budget.warn_threshold_pct,
          current_usage: {
            tokens: current_usage.total_tokens,
            cost_usd: current_usage.total_cost_usd,

### EventBus Topic Naming

RLM events use the topic prefix `rlm:`:

```typescript
// Extended EventTopic enum (in types.mjs)
export const EventTopic = Object.freeze({
  // Existing topics...

  // RLM lifecycle
  RLM_TREE_STARTED: 'rlm:tree:started',
  RLM_TREE_PROGRESS: 'rlm:tree:progress',
  RLM_TREE_COMPLETED: 'rlm:tree:completed',

  // RLM node execution
  RLM_NODE_STARTED: 'rlm:node:started',
  RLM_NODE_COMPLETED: 'rlm:node:completed',
  RLM_NODE_FAILED: 'rlm:node:failed',

  // RLM budget
  RLM_BUDGET_WARNING: 'rlm:budget:warning',
  RLM_BUDGET_EXCEEDED: 'rlm:budget:exceeded',
});
```

### Chat Adapters Formatting RLM Events

The messaging hub's `formatEvent()` function handles RLM-specific formatting:

```typescript
// In tools/messaging/message-formatter.mjs
function formatEvent(event: AiwgEvent): FormattedMessage {
  if (event.topic.startsWith('rlm:')) {
    return formatRlmEvent(event);
  }
  // ... other formatters
}

function formatRlmEvent(event: AiwgEvent): FormattedMessage {
  switch (event.topic) {
    case EventTopic.RLM_TREE_STARTED:
      return {
        title: '🌳 RLM Task Tree Started',
        body: formatTreeStarted(event.details),
        severity: event.severity,
        fields: [
          { name: 'Tree ID', value: event.details.tree_id, inline: true },
          { name: 'Budget', value: formatBudget(event.details), inline: true },
          { name: 'Prompt', value: event.details.root_prompt }
        ],
        project: event.project,
        timestamp: event.timestamp
      };

    case EventTopic.RLM_TREE_PROGRESS:
      return {
        title: '📊 RLM Progress Update',
        body: formatTreeProgress(event.details),
        severity: event.severity,
        fields: [
          { name: 'Progress', value: renderProgressBar(event.details.completed_nodes, event.details.total_nodes) },
          { name: 'Cost', value: formatCost(event.details.cost_usd, event.details.budget_remaining_usd) }
        ],
        project: event.project,
        timestamp: event.timestamp
      };

    case EventTopic.RLM_BUDGET_WARNING:
      return {
        title: '⚠️ RLM Budget Warning',
        body: formatBudgetWarning(event.details),
        severity: 'warning',
        fields: [
          { name: 'Usage', value: `${event.details.current_usage.usage_pct}%` },
          { name: 'Remaining', value: formatBudget(event.details.budget_remaining) }
        ],
        project: event.project,
        timestamp: event.timestamp
      };

    // ... other RLM event types
  }
}
```
