# Billy Emergency Repair Skill

## Use When
- Neill explicitly requests Billy system repair
- Neill reports Billy authentication/gateway issues  
- Neill says "fix Billy" or "Billy is down"
- Billy system appears unresponsive to Neill

## Don't Use When
- Billy is working fine
- Issue is not authentication-related
- Anyone other than Neill requests the repair
- Routine maintenance (not emergency)

## AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED
โš ๏ธ **NEILL-ONLY COMMAND** โš ๏ธ
Only Neill can authorize emergency repairs to Billy. Never run without explicit Neill authorization.

## Usage

### Standard Repair (Recommended)
```bash
# Switch to Opus for enhanced diagnostics
export OPENCLAW_MODEL_OVERRIDE="anthropic/claude-opus-4-6"

# Run authorized repair
bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/emergency-repair/fix-billy-auth.sh --authorized-by Neill
```

### Setup (Run Once)
```bash
# Set up SSH keys first time
bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/emergency-repair/setup-billy-repair-keys.sh
```

## What It Does
1. **Verifies Neill's authorization** (security check)
2. **SSH into Billy** (EC2 via Tailscale)
3. **Backs up Billy's config** (safety first)
4. **Clears stale authentication tokens** (removes .token, device*.json)
5. **Removes hardcoded tokens** (prevents repeat issues)
6. **Restarts Billy's gateway** (fresh start)
7. **Verifies repair success** (tests authentication)
8. **Logs everything** (full audit trail)
9. **Reports back to Neill** (success/failure)

## Typical Conversation Flow

**Neill:** "SAPCONET, Billy is showing authentication errors again, please fix him"

**SAPCONET Response:**
```
๐Ÿšจ Emergency repair authorized by Neill
๐Ÿ”ง Switching to Opus model for enhanced diagnostics
๐Ÿ”— Connecting to Billy via SSH...
๐Ÿ“‹ Backing up Billy's configuration...
๐Ÿงน Clearing stale authentication tokens...
โš ๏ธ  Found hardcoded token - removing...
๐Ÿ”„ Restarting Billy's gateway...
โณ Waiting for startup...
๐Ÿงช Testing authentication...
โœ… SUCCESS: Billy's authentication restored!
๐Ÿ“Š Repair completed in 45 seconds
```

## Error Handling

### SSH Connection Failed
- Check Billy is online
- Verify Tailscale connectivity  
- Confirm SSH key is installed on Billy

### Repair Failed
- Manual intervention required
- Provide Neill with full error logs
- Escalate with specific diagnostic info

### Uncertain Result
- Gateway responds but status unclear
- Recommend Neill verify manually
- Provide repair log for analysis

## Security Features
- **Neill-only authorization** - Script rejects unauthorized use
- **SSH key authentication** - Secure connection to Billy
- **Full audit logging** - Every action is recorded
- **Config backups** - Original settings preserved
- **Non-destructive** - Only removes auth tokens

## Prerequisites
- SSH key must be installed on Billy (one-time setup)
- Tailscale connectivity between SAPCONET and Billy
- Billy must be online and accessible

## Files Created
- `/home/neill/.openclaw/workspace/output/billy-repair-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.log`
- `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.pre-repair-YYYYMMDD-HHMM` (backup on Billy)

## Testing
```bash
# Test SSH connection
ssh -i ~/.ssh/billy-repair-key [email protected] 'echo "Connection works"'

# Dry run (check authorization)
bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/emergency-repair/fix-billy-auth.sh
# Should show: "UNAUTHORIZED: This repair requires Neill's explicit authorization"
```

## Troubleshooting
If repair consistently fails:
1. Check Billy's system logs
2. Verify OpenClaw installation integrity
3. Consider full OpenClaw reinstall
4. Check for deeper system issues (disk space, permissions, etc.)

Remember: This is for **authentication emergencies only**. Use Opus model for complex diagnostics.
