Athena Oracle — Status

Updated: 2026-09-05
Repo: ~/athena-oracle-new/ (cloned from Tony_tech/athena-oracle)
DB: ~/athena-oracle-new/oracle.db

What it is

Multi-source AI research pipeline: ingest → score → bucket → render. Pure rule-based, no LLM required for classification. MVP = pattern-proof, not a polished product.

Pipeline

adapters/     → Source adapters (GitHub, arXiv, Reddit, HN, HF, RSS)
oracle/db.py  → SQLite storage + schema migration
oracle/scoring.py → Bucket classifier + scoring engine
oracle/summarize.py → Rule-based summarization
oracle/variants/ → Render config (default, research, devops, brief)

Sources

Source	Status	Notes
GitHub	✅ Token-auth (5k req/hr)	20 entries fetched, scored
arXiv	✅ Working	20 entries fetched, scored
Reddit	✅ Working (RSS)	Subreddits: HuggingFace, llamacpp, artificial, DeepLearning. Rate-limit-aware (waits ~60s between subs)
HackerNews	✅ Working (via HN API)	19 entries fetched, scored
HuggingFace	✅ Working	20 entries fetched, scored
RSS	✅ Working	feedparser installed, 14 entries fetched

Current State

144 entries in oracle.db
5 variants rendered: default, brief, devops, research, ai-news-daily
Site deployed: https://preprod2.afterthedemo.com/ + /ai-news-daily/index.html + /brief/ + /devops/ + /research/
Deploy mechanism: pre-render locally → commit site/ → create Gitea release → webhook fires → listener syncs to VPS webroot
Build command set to true (no-op) since files are pre-rendered

Done

Cloned to local PC
Schema migration + scoring columns applied
GitHub token wired (.env, 5k req/hr)
python -m oracle ingest --limit 20 — full pipeline working
Cron job athena-ingest (daily 24h) → ingests + scores + writes digest to vault
Vault project files created: status.md, decisions.md, digest-template.md
2026-09-02: Deployed to preprod2 — 5 variants live with fresh stories through 2026-09-02
2026-09-02: Fixed cli.py _load_env to tolerate missing dotenv module on VPS
2026-09-05: Reddit adapter working — AI subs (HuggingFace, llamacpp, artificial, DeepLearning), rate-limit-aware RSS. Two daily cron jobs (6am/6pm). Pushed main → live on preprod2. Workflow saved to 08_workflows/ai-news-daily-deploy.md

Not done / next

Enable GitHub, arXiv, HF, HN, RSS adapters (tested locally)
Fix Reddit RSS (429 from this IP — may need proxy)
Cron job for daily ingestion
Wire digests into daily notes automatically
Test render (variants → static site) — 5 variants + AI News Daily built
Surface top entries to daily notes
Set up oracle pipeline on VPS (needs SSH access — currently blocked)

Deployment (2026-09-02)

Deployed to https://preprod2.afterthedemo.com/ ✅
5 variants live: default, brief, devops, research, ai-news-daily
Fresh stories through 2026-09-02
VPS SSH still blocked; pipeline lives locally for now
Oracle needs to be migrated to VPS (can't ingest from local PC without SSH)

Decisions

Cap ~5 approved sources (depth over firehose)
Pure rule-based — no embeddings, no LLM classification
Velocity ranking for GitHub (not raw stars)
GitHub unauthenticated rate limit: 60 req/hr (budget calls, 30s timeout per source)
VPS SSH is firewalled: >3 failed connects blocks IP. Do NOT loop SSH attempts.
