cfg_read_secret is invoked via $() inside _cfg_edit_one, so the echo that
advanced the cursor after hidden input landed on the capture pipe instead of
the terminal — every secret value stored with pos config on a real TTY got a
leading newline (e.g. AI_GEMINI_API_KEY="\n<key>"), which neither cfg_value
nor the ai/telegram load_config parsers could read back: the menu showed
'(not set)' and pos ai gemini kept demanding a key.
Fix: send that newline to stderr (>&2). Defense in depth: cfg_write and
write_config_key now strip CR and truncate multi-line pastes, and the readers
(cfg_value, ai + telegram load_config) strip CR. Reproduced and verified on a
pseudo-TTY; piped-stdin tests never caught it because non-TTY input skips the
stty/echo path.
- Drop sender 'config'/'config set' subcommand — redundant with 'pos config
telegram' (same POS_CONFIG registry: masked token input/display, chat-id
validation, chmod 600); sender/listener error hints now point there.
- Listener: load_map now uses a \x1f delimiter, so mapped /commands
containing '|' are no longer truncated at the first pipe.
- entertainment send: forward extra plugin args (previously dropped); pass
'--' before the message so leading '-' plugin output isn't parsed as an
option.
- write_config_key/cfg_write: replace unescaped sed writes with grep-v+append
so values with &, |, \ round-trip safely.
- sync_systemd: daemon-reload after removing timer units.
- config-ui: 'digits' validation accepts negative group/supergroup chat ids.
Add bin/pos-config + lib/config-ui.sh: reads the '# POS_CONFIG:' headers
across tools into a unified runtime config (~/.config/linux_post_install/
<scope>.env, chmod 600). Secret masking with show/hide, digits:/num:/url:
validation, '-' clears, blank keeps; '*plugins' expands entertainment
plugin vars from entertainment-lib.sh. pos config with no scope opens a
picker (scope list when not a TTY); completion offers scopes from the
registry at runtime.
gen-docs.sh now handles category-less tools (pos-config) instead of
emitting pos-config-config; fix set -e/pipefail abort that truncated the
header registry mid-read. install.sh ships config-ui.sh.
The --send flag duplicated the send subcommand — completion suggested both.
Now 'pos communication telegram <TAB>' completes to just 'sender' and
'listener'. send is the single canonical action.
- git mv bin/pos-communication-telegram bin/pos-communication-telegram-sender
- remove --send branch + POS_FLAGS entry; add --markdown to completion
- lib/notify.sh: notify_sender_name() maps platform telegram -> telegram-sender
(notify_send otherwise looks for bin/pos-communication-telegram)
- pos-system-health --send 'sent:' check + pos-entertainment-send use the new
name and the send subcommand
- completion: keys with nested tools but no direct tool complete to the group
suffixes (sender/listener); --type/--parse-mode value completion moved to
the new word positions
- docs updated (POS.md, AGENT_Context, DEV.md, SCRIPTS.md, notify.env,
HOWTO.md, postinstall.sh); removed phantom webhook/log/broadcast subcommands
from howto/communication.md
