Teknium 242da9db96 docs(teams-pipeline): cron renewal recipe, sidebar wiring, skill rewrite
Fifth and final slice polish on top of @dlkakbs's docs + skill. Three
things ship here:

1. Subscription renewal cron recipe (the #1 operational footgun).

   Microsoft Graph webhook subscriptions expire at 72 hours max and
   don't auto-renew. The shipped operator runbook mentioned
   `maintain-subscriptions --dry-run` as a "daily or periodic check"
   but never told operators how to actually automate it. Without a
   scheduled job, any production deployment silently stops ingesting
   meetings three days after go-live.

   Adds an "Automating subscription renewal (REQUIRED for production)"
   section to website/docs/guides/operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md
   with three concrete options and copy-pasteable configs:

   - Option 1: Hermes cron (`hermes cron add --schedule "0 */12 * * *"
     --script-only --command "hermes teams-pipeline maintain-subscriptions"`)
   - Option 2: systemd service + timer (12h cadence, Persistent=true
     so missed runs catch up after reboots)
   - Option 3: plain crontab with a wrapper that sources .env for
     credentials

   Go-Live Checklist gains a bolded mandatory item for the schedule
   being in place, with a cross-link to the section.

   website/docs/user-guide/messaging/teams-meetings.md adds a
   `::⚠️::` admonition right after the manual `subscribe`
   examples so anyone who creates a subscription manually is told
   the same day that it will silently expire in 72 hours.

2. Sidebar wiring. Shela's new docs pages (teams-meetings.md and
   operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md) weren't in website/sidebars.ts,
   so they were orphaned URLs — reachable only if someone knew the
   path. Wired teams-meetings into Messaging Platforms next to the
   existing teams entry, and operate-teams-meeting-pipeline into
   Guides & Tutorials next to microsoft-graph-app-registration from
   PR #21922. Adjacent placement keeps the related pages discoverable
   from each other.

3. SKILL.md rewrite (v1.0.0 → v1.1.0).

   The original skill had five Turkish-only trigger phrases, which
   works in a Turkish-speaking session but doesn't match English
   triggers. Rewrote the skill to:

   - Describe triggers by intent instead of exact phrases, with
     explicit "works in any language" framing and example phrases
     in both English and Turkish.
   - Add a Decision Tree section covering the three most common user
     asks (missing summary, setup verification, re-run request) and
     the specific CLI command sequence for each.
   - Add a dedicated "Critical pitfall: Graph subscriptions expire
     in 72 hours" section that tells the agent exactly what to do
     when a user reports "worked yesterday, nothing today" — the
     most common operational failure mode.
   - Expand the command reference into three labeled groups (Status
     and inspection / Re-running and debugging / Subscription
     management) so the agent can reach for the right command
     without scanning.
   - Add cross-links to all four related docs pages (Azure app
     registration, webhook listener setup, full pipeline setup,
     operator runbook).

Validation:
- npm run build: all new pages route, anchor to
  #automating-subscription-renewal-required-for-production resolves
  from both the runbook TOC and the teams-meetings.md admonition.
- scripts/run_tests.sh on the relevant test suites (607 tests): all
  pass.

Teams Meeting Pipeline

Use this skill whenever the user asks about Microsoft Teams meeting summaries, transcripts, recordings, action items, Graph subscriptions, or any operational question about the Teams meeting pipeline. Works in any language — the triggers below are examples, not an exhaustive list.

Everything operator-facing is a hermes teams-pipeline subcommand run via the terminal tool. There are no new model tools for this pipeline — the CLI is the surface.

When to use this skill

The user is asking to:

  • summarize a Teams meeting / extract action items / pull meeting notes
  • check pipeline status, inspect a stored meeting job, or see recent meetings
  • replay / re-run a stored job that failed or needs a fresh summary
  • validate Microsoft Graph setup after changing env or config
  • troubleshoot "meeting summary never arrived" or "no new meetings are ingesting"
  • manage Graph webhook subscriptions (create, renew, delete, inspect)
  • set up automated subscription renewal (see pitfall below)

Multilingual trigger examples (not exhaustive):

  • English: "summarize the Teams meeting", "pipeline status", "replay job X"
  • Turkish: "Teams meeting özetle", "action item çıkar", "toplantı notu", "pipeline durumu", "replay job"

Prerequisites

Before using the pipeline, verify these are set in ~/.hermes/.env:

MSGRAPH_TENANT_ID=...
MSGRAPH_CLIENT_ID=...
MSGRAPH_CLIENT_SECRET=...

If any are missing, direct the user to the Azure app registration guide at /docs/guides/microsoft-graph-app-registration — they need an Azure AD app registration with admin-consented Graph application permissions before the pipeline will work.

Command reference

Status and inspection (start here)

hermes teams-pipeline validate              # config snapshot — run first after any change
hermes teams-pipeline token-health          # Graph token status
hermes teams-pipeline token-health --force-refresh   # force a fresh token acquisition
hermes teams-pipeline list                  # recent meeting jobs
hermes teams-pipeline list --status failed  # only failed jobs
hermes teams-pipeline show <job-id>         # full detail of one job
hermes teams-pipeline subscriptions         # current Graph webhook subscriptions

Re-running / debugging

hermes teams-pipeline run <job-id>          # replay a stored job (re-summarize, re-deliver)
hermes teams-pipeline fetch --meeting-id <id>   # dry-run: resolve meeting + transcript without persisting
hermes teams-pipeline fetch --join-web-url "<url>"   # dry-run by join URL

Subscription management

hermes teams-pipeline subscribe \
  --resource communications/onlineMeetings/getAllTranscripts \
  --notification-url https://<your-public-host>/msgraph/webhook \
  --client-state "$MSGRAPH_WEBHOOK_CLIENT_STATE"

hermes teams-pipeline renew-subscription <sub-id> --expiration <iso-8601>
hermes teams-pipeline delete-subscription <sub-id>
hermes teams-pipeline maintain-subscriptions            # renew near-expiry ones
hermes teams-pipeline maintain-subscriptions --dry-run  # show what would be renewed

Decision tree for common asks

  • User asks "why didn't I get a summary for today's meeting?" → start with list --status failed, then show <job-id> on the relevant row. If the job doesn't exist at all, check subscriptions — the webhook may have expired (see pitfall below).
  • User asks "is setup working?" → validate, then token-health, then subscriptions. If all three pass, request a test meeting and check list for a fresh row.
  • User asks "re-run summary for meeting X" → list to find the job ID, run <job-id> to replay. If it fails again, show <job-id> to inspect the error and fetch --meeting-id to dry-run the artifact resolution.
  • User asks "add meeting X to the pipeline" → usually you don't — the pipeline is subscription-driven, not per-meeting. If they want a specific past meeting summarized, use fetch to pull transcript + run after a job is created.

Critical pitfall: Graph subscriptions expire in 72 hours

Microsoft Graph caps webhook subscriptions at 72 hours and will not auto-renew them. If maintain-subscriptions is not scheduled, meeting notifications silently stop arriving 3 days after any manual subscription creation.

When the user reports "the pipeline worked yesterday but nothing is arriving today":

  1. Run hermes teams-pipeline subscriptions — if it's empty or all entries show expirationDateTime in the past, that's the cause.
  2. Recreate with subscribe as shown above.
  3. Set up automated renewal immediately via hermes cron add, a systemd timer, or plain crontab. The operator runbook at /docs/guides/operate-teams-meeting-pipeline#automating-subscription-renewal-required-for-production has all three options. 12-hour interval is safe (6x headroom against the 72h limit).

Other pitfalls

  • Transcript not available yet. Teams takes some time after a meeting ends to generate the transcript artifact. fetch --meeting-id on a just-ended meeting may return empty. Wait 2-5 minutes and retry, or let the Graph webhook drive ingestion naturally.
  • Delivery mode mismatch. If summaries are produced (list shows success) but nothing lands in Teams, check platforms.teams.extra.delivery_mode and the matching target config (incoming_webhook_url OR chat_id OR team_id+channel_id). The writer reads these from config.yaml or TEAMS_* env vars.
  • Graph app permissions. A token acquires cleanly (token-health passes) but Graph API calls return 401/403 when permissions were added but admin consent wasn't re-granted. Have the user revisit the app registration in the Azure portal and click "Grant admin consent" again.
