+# Work Summary: Timer Sensor Implementation
+
+**Date:** 2025-01-27  
+**Status:** Complete  
+**Components:** Standalone Timer Sensor, Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+Implemented a standalone timer sensor (`attune-core-timer-sensor`) that follows the new sensor interface specification. This is the first implementation of the distributed sensor architecture where each sensor type runs as an independent daemon process.
+
+## Work Completed
+
+### 1. Sensor Interface Specification
+
+Created comprehensive documentation defining the standard interface for all Attune sensors:
+
+- **File:** `docs/sensor-interface.md`
+- **Key Specifications:**
+  - Single process per sensor type (manages multiple rule instances internally)
+  - Rule-driven behavior via RabbitMQ lifecycle messages
+  - API-based event emission with authentication
+  - Configuration via environment variables or stdin JSON
+  - Graceful lifecycle management (init, runtime, shutdown)
+
+### 2. Service Accounts & Transient Tokens
+
+Created specification for service account authentication system:
+
+- **File:** `docs/service-accounts.md`
+- **Token Types:**
+  - Sensor tokens: Long-lived (30-90 days), scope=`sensor`
+  - Action execution tokens: Short-lived (5-60 min), scope=`action_execution`
+  - User CLI tokens: Medium-lived (7-30 days), scope=`user`
+  - Webhook tokens: Long-lived (90-365 days), scope=`webhook`
+- **Security Features:**
+  - JWT-based stateless tokens with JTI for revocation
+  - Scope-based permissions (admin, user, sensor, action_execution, webhook, readonly)
+  - Trigger type restrictions for sensor tokens (enforced by API)
+  - Token revocation tracking via database
+
+### 3. Authentication Overview
+
+Created quick-reference documentation:
+
+- **File:** `docs/sensor-authentication-overview.md`
+- **Contents:**
+  - Configuration methods (env vars, stdin, config file)
+  - Token lifecycle flowchart
+  - Security best practices
+  - Troubleshooting guide
+
+### 4. Standalone Timer Sensor Implementation
+
+Created a new standalone sensor package:
+
+- **Location:** `crates/sensor-timer/`
+- **Language:** Rust (async/await with Tokio)
+- **Architecture:**
+  ```
+  ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+  │ Timer Sensor Process                │
+  │  ┌──────────────┐  ┌──────────────┐ │
+  │  │ Rule         │─▶│ Timer        │ │
+  │  │ Lifecycle    │  │ Manager      │ │

+  │  ┌──────────────────────────────┐   │
+  │  │ API Client (Create Events)   │   │
+  │  └──────────────────────────────┘   │
+  └─────────────────────────────────────┘
+  ```
+
+**Key Components:**
+
+#### `main.rs`
+- Entry point and initialization
+- Graceful shutdown handling (SIGTERM/SIGINT)
+- Configuration validation
+- Service orchestration
+
+#### `config.rs`
+- Environment variable loading (`ATTUNE_*` prefix)
+- stdin JSON configuration support
+- Configuration validation (URL formats, required fields)
+- Defaults for optional fields
+
+#### `api_client.rs`
+- HTTP client for Attune API communication
+- Health check endpoint
+- Event creation with retry logic (exponential backoff)
+- Rule fetching by trigger type
+- Proper error handling for 403 Forbidden (trigger type restrictions)
+
+#### `timer_manager.rs`
+- Per-rule timer task management using tokio tasks
+- HashMap of `rule_id -> JoinHandle<()>`
+- Support for multiple timer types:
+  - **Interval timers**: Fire every N seconds/minutes/hours/days
+  - **DateTime timers**: Fire at specific UTC timestamp (one-time)
+  - **Cron timers**: Planned (not yet implemented)
+- Dynamic start/stop of timers based on rule lifecycle
+- Event creation when timers fire
+
+#### `rule_listener.rs`
+- RabbitMQ consumer for rule lifecycle messages
+- Queue naming: `sensor.{sensor_ref}` (e.g., `sensor.core.timer`)
+- Binds to routing keys: `rule.created`, `rule.enabled`, `rule.disabled`, `rule.deleted`
+- Filters messages by trigger type (only processes `core.timer`)
+- Loads existing active rules on startup
+- Message acknowledgment after processing
+
+#### `types.rs`
+- `TimerConfig` enum for different timer types
+- `RuleLifecycleEvent` enum for message types
+- Helper methods for event parsing and validation
+- Serde serialization/deserialization
+
+#### `token_refresh.rs` (NEW)
+- `TokenRefreshManager` for automatic token refresh
+- Background task that checks token expiration every hour
+- Refreshes token when 80% of TTL elapsed (72 days for 90-day tokens)
+- Exponential backoff retry on refresh failure
+- JWT decoding to extract expiration claims
+- Zero-downtime hot-reload of new tokens
+
+### 5. Documentation
+
+Created comprehensive README for the timer sensor:
+
+- **File:** `crates/sensor-timer/README.md`
+- **Contents:**
+  - Architecture diagram
+  - Installation instructions
+  - Configuration examples
+  - Service account setup guide
+  - Timer configuration formats (interval, datetime, cron)
+  - Running instructions (dev and production)
+  - systemd service file example
+  - Monitoring and logging guide
+  - Troubleshooting section
+
+### 6. Documentation Updates
+
+Updated existing documentation to include trigger type restrictions:
+
+- **`docs/sensor-interface.md`:**
+  - Added trigger type enforcement to message handling requirements
+  - Added API validation section for trigger type restrictions
+  - Updated event emission guidelines
+
+- **`docs/service-accounts.md`:**
+  - Added trigger type validation code example
+  - Documented 403 Forbidden error for unauthorized trigger types
+  - Added trigger type restriction to security best practices
+
+- **`docs/sensor-authentication-overview.md`:**
+  - Updated permissions table with trigger type restriction note
+  - Added troubleshooting entry for insufficient permissions error
+
+### 7. Bug Fixes
+
+Fixed pre-existing compilation errors in API service:
+
+- **File:** `crates/api/src/routes/rules.rs`
+- **Issue:** References to `state.mq` instead of `state.publisher`
+- **Fix:** Updated `enable_rule()` and `disable_rule()` functions to use `state.publisher`
+
+## Technical Decisions
+
+### 1. Standalone Binary vs. Library
+**Decision:** Implemented as a standalone binary rather than a module in the existing sensor service.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Follows distributed microservices architecture
+- Each sensor type can be deployed independently
+- Easier to scale individual sensor types
+- Simpler configuration and monitoring
+- Better fault isolation
+
+### 2. Configuration Method
+**Decision:** Support both environment variables and stdin JSON.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Environment variables work well for systemd, Docker, Kubernetes
+- stdin JSON supports dynamic configuration from orchestrators
+- Flexibility for different deployment scenarios
+
+### 3. Per-Rule Timers
+**Decision:** Manage one timer task per rule, not one timer per sensor.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Each rule can have different timer intervals
+- Dynamic start/stop based on rule state
+- True multi-tenancy support
+- Scalable to thousands of rules
+
+### 4. Event Creation via API
+**Decision:** Create events via HTTP API rather than direct database access.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Follows sensor interface specification
+- Enables trigger type permission enforcement
+- Allows API to be the single source of truth
+- Easier to audit and monitor
+- Supports future API gateway/load balancing
+
+### 5. Token-Based Authentication
+**Decision:** Use JWT service account tokens with trigger type restrictions.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Stateless authentication (no database lookup per request)
+- Fine-grained permissions (scope + trigger types)
+- Easy revocation via token_revocation table
+- Follows industry best practices
+
+### 6. Token Expiration Strategy
+**Decision:** All tokens MUST expire. Sensor tokens expire in 90 days but auto-refresh before expiration, action execution tokens expire when execution times out.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Prevents indefinite growth of token_revocation table
+- Reduces attack surface through regular rotation
+- Eliminates manual intervention (automatic refresh)
+- Action tokens auto-cleanup when execution completes
+- Expired token revocations can be safely deleted (hourly cleanup job)
+- Typical revocation table size: <1,000 rows instead of millions
+- Zero-downtime token refresh (no service interruption)
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Sensor tokens: 90-day TTL, automatic refresh at 80% of TTL (72 days)
+- Refresh mechanism: `POST /auth/refresh` endpoint for self-service token renewal
+- Hot-reload: New token loaded without sensor restart
+- Action execution tokens: TTL matches action timeout (5-60 minutes)
+- Cleanup job: Runs hourly to delete expired token revocations
+- Zero human intervention required for sensors
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Configuration validation (valid/invalid URLs, required fields)
+- Timer config parsing and serialization
+- Event request construction
+- URL masking for secure logging
+- Timer interval calculations
+
+### Manual Testing Required
+- [ ] Service account creation via API
+- [ ] Sensor startup with valid token
+- [ ] Rule creation triggers timer start
+- [ ] Timer fires and creates events
+- [ ] Rule disable stops timer
+- [ ] Rule delete stops timer
+- [ ] Invalid token returns 403
+- [ ] Unauthorized trigger type returns 403
+- [ ] Graceful shutdown on SIGTERM
+- [ ] Token automatic refresh (verify refresh happens at 80% of TTL)
+- [ ] Token refresh failure handling (retry with backoff)
+- [ ] Hot-reload verification (sensor continues operating during refresh)
+
