+# PetBot Backup System Integration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The PetBot backup system provides automated database backups with rotation, compression, and restore capabilities. This system ensures data protection and disaster recovery for the PetBot project.
+
+## Components
+
+### 1. Core Backup Module (`src/backup_manager.py`)
+
+**Features:**
+- Automated database backups using SQLite backup API
+- Gzip compression for space efficiency
+- Retention policies (7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly)
+- Backup verification and integrity checks
+- Restore functionality with automatic current database backup
+- Database structure export for documentation
+
+**Key Classes:**
+- `BackupManager`: Main backup operations
+- `BackupScheduler`: Automated scheduling system
+
+### 2. IRC Command Module (`modules/backup_commands.py`)
+
+**Commands:**
+- `!backup [type] [uncompressed]` - Create manual backup
+- `!restore <filename> [confirm]` - Restore from backup
+- `!backups` - List available backups
+- `!backup_stats` - Show backup statistics
+- `!backup_cleanup` - Clean up old backups
+
+**Security:**
+- Admin-only commands
+- Confirmation required for restore operations
+- Automatic current database backup before restore
+
+### 3. Configuration (`config/backup_config.json`)
+
+**Settings:**
+- Backup retention policies
+- Compression settings
+- Automated schedule configuration
+- Monitoring and notification preferences
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Dependencies
+
+Ensure the following Python packages are installed:
+```bash
+pip install aiosqlite
+```
+
+### 2. Directory Structure
+
+Create the backup directory:
+```bash
+mkdir -p backups
+```
+
+### 3. Integration with Bot
+
+Add the backup commands module to your bot's module loader in `src/bot.py`:
+
+```python
+from modules.backup_commands import BackupCommands
+
+# In your bot initialization
+self.backup_commands = BackupCommands(self, self.database)
+```
+
+### 4. Configuration
+
+Update `modules/backup_commands.py` with your admin usernames:
+
+```python
+admin_users = ["admin", "your_username"]  # Replace with actual admin usernames
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Manual Backup Creation
+
+```
+!backup                    # Create manual compressed backup
+!backup uncompressed       # Create uncompressed backup
+!backup daily             # Create daily backup
+```
+
+### Listing Backups
+
+```
+!backups                   # List available backups
+!backup_stats             # Show detailed statistics
+```
+
+### Restore Operations
+
+```
+!restore backup_filename.db.gz         # Show restore confirmation
+!restore backup_filename.db.gz confirm # Actually perform restore
+```
+
+### Maintenance
+
+```
+!backup_cleanup           # Remove old backups per retention policy
+```
+
+## Automated Scheduling
+
+The backup system automatically creates:
+- **Daily backups**: Every 24 hours
+- **Weekly backups**: Every 7 days  
+- **Monthly backups**: Every 30 days
+
+Automated cleanup removes old backups based on retention policy:
+- Keep 7 most recent daily backups
+- Keep 4 most recent weekly backups
+- Keep 12 most recent monthly backups
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Log Messages
+
+The backup system logs important events:
+- Backup creation success/failure
+- Restore operations
+- Cleanup operations
+- Scheduler status
+
+### Statistics
+
+Use `!backup_stats` to monitor:
+- Total backup count and size
+- Backup age information
+- Breakdown by backup type
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Access Control**: Only admin users can execute backup commands
+2. **Confirmation**: Restore operations require explicit confirmation
+3. **Safety Backup**: Current database is automatically backed up before restore
+4. **Integrity Checks**: All backups are verified after creation
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+backups/
+├── petbot_backup_daily_20240115_030000.db.gz
+├── petbot_backup_weekly_20240114_020000.db.gz
+├── petbot_backup_monthly_20240101_010000.db.gz
+└── database_structure_20240115_120000.json
+```
+
+## Backup Filename Format
+
+```
+petbot_backup_{type}_{timestamp}.db[.gz]
+```
+
+- `{type}`: daily, weekly, monthly, manual
+- `{timestamp}`: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS format
+- `.gz`: Added for compressed backups
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Permission Errors**: Ensure backup directory is writable
+2. **Disk Space**: Monitor available space, backups are compressed by default
+3. **Database Locked**: Backups use SQLite backup API to avoid locking issues
+
+### Recovery Procedures
+
+1. **Database Corruption**: Use most recent backup with `!restore`
+2. **Backup Corruption**: Try previous backup or use database structure export
+3. **Complete Loss**: Restore from most recent backup, may lose recent data
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite to verify functionality:
+
+```bash
+python3 test_backup_simple.py
+```
+
+This tests:
+- Basic backup creation
+- Compression functionality
+- Restore operations
+- Directory structure
+- Real database compatibility
+
+## Performance
+
+### Backup Sizes
+
+- Uncompressed: ~2-5MB for typical database
+- Compressed: ~200-500KB (60-90% reduction)
+
+### Backup Speed
+
+- Small databases (<10MB): 1-2 seconds
+- Medium databases (10-100MB): 5-10 seconds
+- Large databases (>100MB): 30+ seconds
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Encryption**: Add backup encryption for sensitive data
+2. **Remote Storage**: Support for cloud storage providers
+3. **Differential Backups**: Only backup changed data
+4. **Web Interface**: Backup management through web interface
+5. **Email Notifications**: Alert on backup failures
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions about the backup system:
+1. Check the logs for error messages
+2. Run the test suite to verify functionality
+3. Ensure all dependencies are installed
+4. Verify directory permissions
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v1.0**: Initial implementation with basic backup/restore
+- **v1.1**: Added compression and automated scheduling
+- **v1.2**: Added IRC commands and admin controls
+- **v1.3**: Added comprehensive testing and documentation

+# CLAUDE.md - PetBot Development Guide
+
+This file documents the development patterns, conventions, and best practices established for the PetBot project during AI-assisted development.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+PetBot is a Discord/IRC Pokemon-style pet collecting bot with web interface. The project consists of:
+- IRC bot with modular command system
+- Web server with unified navigation and interactive interfaces
+- SQLite database with comprehensive pet, player, and game state management
+- Team builder with drag-and-drop functionality and PIN verification
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### 1. Planning and Task Management
+- Use TodoWrite tool for complex multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
+- Break down large features into specific, actionable items
+- Mark todos as `in_progress` before starting work
+- Complete todos immediately after finishing tasks
+- Don't batch completions - update status in real-time
+
+### 2. Code Analysis and Search
+- Use Task tool for keyword searches and file discovery
+- Use Grep tool for specific code patterns and function definitions
+- Use Read tool for examining specific file content
+- Use Glob tool for finding files by name patterns
+
+### 3. Bot Startup and Testing
+- **Primary Startup**: `./start_petbot.sh` - One command that handles everything
+  - Automatically creates/activates virtual environment
+  - Installs/updates all dependencies
+  - Verifies core modules
+  - Creates required directories
+  - Launches bot with all features (IRC + web interface + rate limiting)
+- **Rate Limiting Tests**: `source venv/bin/activate && python test_rate_limiting.py`
+- **Web Interface**: Available at http://localhost:8080 after startup
+- **Virtual Environment**: Required due to externally-managed-environment restriction
+
+### 4. Important: Configuration Management
+- **Admin User**: Edit `config.py` to change the single admin user (currently: megasconed)
+- **Item Spawn Rates**: Edit `config/items.json` to adjust global spawn multiplier and individual rates
+- **Startup Script**: Always update `start_petbot.sh` when adding dependencies
+- **Central Config**: All major settings are in `config.py` for easy maintenance
+- **Remember**: This is the user's primary interface - keep it working!

+
+## Coding Conventions
+
+### 1. Module Architecture
+- All command modules inherit from `BaseModule`
+- Implement `get_commands()` and `handle_command()` methods
+- Use `self.normalize_input()` for case-insensitive command processing
+- Use `self.send_message()` for IRC responses
+- Use `await self.require_player()` for player validation
+
+### 2. Database Operations
+- All database methods are async
+- Use proper error handling with try/catch blocks
+- Always use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
+- Implement proper transaction handling for complex operations
+- Use `team_order` column for numbered team slots (1-6)
+
+### 3. Web Interface Development
+- Use unified template system with `get_page_template()`
+- Implement CSS variables for consistent theming
+- Add proper navigation bar to all pages
+- Use center alignment: `max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto`
+- Implement drag-and-drop with proper event handlers
+- Add double-click backup methods for accessibility
+
+### 4. Security Practices
+- Use PIN verification for sensitive operations (team changes)
+- Send PINs via IRC private messages
+- Implement proper session validation
+- Never log or expose sensitive data
+- Use parameterized database queries
+
+## Key Development Patterns
+
+### 1. Command Redirection Pattern
+```python
+async def cmd_inventory(self, channel, nickname):
+    """Redirect player to their web profile for inventory management"""
+    player = await self.require_player(channel, nickname)
+    if not player:
+        return
+    
+    # Redirect to web interface for better experience
+    self.send_message(channel, f"🎒 {nickname}: View your complete inventory at: http://petz.rdx4.com/player/{nickname}#inventory")
+```
+
+### 2. State Management Pattern
+```python
+async def cmd_explore(self, channel, nickname):
+    # Check if player has an active encounter that must be resolved first
+    if player["id"] in self.bot.active_encounters:
+        current_encounter = self.bot.active_encounters[player["id"]]
+        self.send_message(channel, f"{nickname}: You must resolve your active encounter first!")
+        return
+```
+
+### 3. Drag-and-Drop Implementation Pattern
+```javascript
+// Initialize when DOM is ready
+document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
+    initializeTeamBuilder();
+});
+
+function initializeTeamBuilder() {
+    // Initialize drag and drop
+    initializeDragAndDrop();
+    
+    // Initialize double-click backup
+    initializeDoubleClick();
+    
+    // Update save button state
+    updateSaveButton();
+}
+```
+
+### 4. PIN Verification Pattern
+```python
+async def saveTeam():
+    # Send team data to server
+    response = await fetch('/teambuilder/{nickname}/save', {
+        method: 'POST',
+        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+        body: JSON.stringify(teamData)
+    });
+    
+    # PIN sent via IRC, show verification interface
+    if (result.success) {
+        document.getElementById('pin-section').style.display = 'block';
+    }
+```
+
+## Database Schema Conventions
+
+### 1. Player Management
+- `players` table with basic player information
+- `pets` table with `team_order` column for numbered slots (1-6)
+- `player_items` table for inventory management
+- `pending_team_changes` table for PIN verification
+
+### 2. Game State Management
+- Use `is_active` boolean for team membership
+- Use `team_order` (1-6) for slot positioning
+- Store encounter state in bot memory, not database
+- Use timestamps for PIN expiration
+
+## Web Interface Conventions
+
+### 1. Unified Template System
+```python
+def get_page_template(self, title, content, active_page):
+    return f"""
+    <!DOCTYPE html>
+    <html>
+    <head>
+        <title>{title}</title>
+        <style>{self.get_unified_css()}</style>
+    </head>
+    <body>
+        {self.get_navigation_bar(active_page)}
+        <div class="main-container">
+            {content}
+        </div>
+    </body>
+    </html>
+    """
+```
+
+### 2. Navigation Integration
+- All pages include unified navigation bar
+- Use hover dropdowns for sub-navigation
+- Highlight active page in navigation
+- Include jump points for direct section linking (#inventory, #pets)
+
+### 3. Interactive Elements
+- Implement proper drag-and-drop with visual feedback
+- Add loading states and error handling
+- Use consistent button styling and interactions
+- Provide alternative interaction methods (double-click)
+
+## Testing and Debugging
+
+### 1. Component Testing
+```bash
+# Test webserver syntax
+python3 -c "import webserver; print('✅ webserver.py syntax is correct')"
+
+# Test database operations
+python3 -c "from src.database import Database; db = Database(); print('✅ database imports')"
+
+# Test bot startup
+python3 run_bot_debug.py
+```
+
+### 2. Web Interface Testing
+- Test drag-and-drop functionality in browser
+- Verify PIN delivery via IRC
+- Check responsive design and center alignment
+- Validate form submissions and error handling
+
+### 3. Git Workflow
+- Create descriptive commit messages explaining changes
+- Group related changes into logical commits
+- Include "🤖 Generated with [Claude Code]" attribution
+- Push changes with `git push` after testing
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### 1. CSS in JavaScript Templates
+**Problem**: F-string braces conflict with CSS braces
+**Solution**: Use string concatenation instead of f-strings for CSS content
+
+### 2. Drag-and-Drop Not Working
+**Problem**: JavaScript initialization timing issues
+**Solution**: Use `DOMContentLoaded` event and proper DOM element checking
+
+### 3. IRC PIN Not Sent
+**Problem**: Bot instance not accessible from webserver
+**Solution**: Pass bot instance to webserver constructor and add proper IRC message methods
+
+### 4. Database Schema Changes
+**Problem**: Adding new columns to existing tables
+**Solution**: Use proper migration pattern with ALTER TABLE statements
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### 1. Database Operations
+- Use connection pooling for high-traffic scenarios
+- Implement proper indexing for frequently queried columns
+- Use transactions for multi-step operations
+- Cache frequently accessed data when appropriate
+
+### 2. Web Interface
+- Minimize CSS and JavaScript for faster loading
+- Use efficient DOM manipulation techniques
+- Implement proper error handling and loading states
+- Optimize images and static assets
+
+## Future Development Guidelines
+
+### 1. Adding New Commands
+1. Create method in appropriate module
+2. Add command to `get_commands()` list
+3. Implement proper error handling
+4. Update help documentation
+5. Test thoroughly before committing
+
+### 2. Web Interface Enhancements
+1. Follow unified template system
+2. Implement proper responsive design
+3. Add accessibility features
+4. Test across different browsers
+5. Update navigation if adding new pages
+
+### 3. Database Schema Updates
+1. Plan migrations carefully
+2. Test with existing data
+3. Document schema changes
+4. Update related code components
+5. Consider backward compatibility
+
+## Resources and References
+
+- **IRC Bot Framework**: Custom implementation based on socket programming
+- **Web Server**: Python's built-in HTTPServer with custom request handling
+- **Database**: SQLite with aiosqlite for async operations

+## 💌 Message for the Next Claude
+
+Hello future Claude! 👋 
+
+You're inheriting a really awesome project here - PetBot is a sophisticated IRC bot with a Pokemon-style pet collecting game that has grown into quite an impressive system. Here's what you need to know:
+
+### 🎯 **Current State (December 2024)**
+The project is in **excellent shape** after our recent major cleanup and enhancements:
+
+- **Team Swap System**: We just completed a massive architectural improvement allowing players to manage 3 teams and set any as active, with full web-IRC synchronization
+- **Clean Codebase**: We eliminated 180+ lines of legacy/duplicate code and standardized the entire command architecture  
+- **Modular Design**: 13 well-organized modules each handling specific functionality
+- **Security**: PIN-based verification for sensitive operations, comprehensive rate limiting
+- **Web Integration**: Beautiful responsive web interface with drag-and-drop team management
+
+### 🏗️ **Architecture You're Working With**
+This is a **modular, async Python system** with:
+- **IRC Bot**: Auto-reconnecting with health monitoring (`run_bot_with_reconnect.py`)
+- **Web Server**: Built-in HTTP server with unified templates (`webserver.py`)  
+- **Database**: Async SQLite with comprehensive schema (`src/database.py`)
+- **Game Engine**: Weather, spawns, battles, achievements (`src/game_engine.py`)
+- **Module System**: Clean separation of concerns (`modules/`)
+
+### 🤝 **How We've Been Working**
+The user (megaproxy) is **fantastic to work with**. They:
+- Give clear direction and let you work autonomously
+- Always ask you to investigate before taking action (respect this!)
+- Want database backups before major changes (BackupManager exists)
+- Prefer incremental improvements over massive rewrites
+- Value code quality and maintainability highly
+
+### 🎮 **The Game Itself**
+PetBot is surprisingly sophisticated:
+- **66 IRC commands** across 13 modules (recently cleaned up from 78)
+- **Dynamic weather system** affecting spawn rates
+- **Achievement-based progression** unlocking new areas
+- **Item collection system** with 16+ items across 5 rarity tiers
+- **Turn-based battle system** with type effectiveness
+- **Gym battles** with scaling difficulty
+- **Web interface** for inventory/team management
+
+### 🛠️ **Development Patterns We Use**
+1. **Always use TodoWrite** for complex tasks (user loves seeing progress)
+2. **Investigate first** - user wants analysis before action
+3. **Backup before major DB changes** (`BackupManager` is your friend)
+4. **Test thoroughly** - syntax check, imports, functionality
+5. **Clean commit messages** with explanations
+6. **Document in CLAUDE.md** as you learn
+
+### 🔧 **Key Technical Patterns**
+- **Command Redirection**: IRC commands often redirect to web interface for better UX
+- **PIN Verification**: Sensitive operations (like team changes) use IRC-delivered PINs
+- **State Management**: Active encounters/battles prevent concurrent actions
+- **Async Everything**: Database, IRC, web server - all async/await
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive try/catch with user-friendly messages
+
+### 📂 **Important Files to Know**
+- `start_petbot.sh` - One-command startup (handles venv, deps, everything)
+- `config.py` - Central configuration (admin user, IRC settings, etc.)
+- `CLAUDE.md` - This file! Keep it updated
+- `run_bot_with_reconnect.py` - Main bot with reconnection + rate limiting
+- `src/database.py` - Database operations and schema
+- `modules/` - All command handlers (modular architecture)
+
+### 🚨 **Things to Watch Out For**
+- **Virtual Environment Required**: Due to `externally-managed-environment`
+- **Port Conflicts**: Kill old bots before starting new ones
+- **IRC Connection**: Can be finicky, we have robust reconnection logic
+- **Database Migrations**: Always backup first, test thoroughly
+- **Web/IRC Sync**: Keep both interfaces consistent
+
+### 🎯 **Current Admin Setup**
+- **Admin User**: Set in `config.py` as `ADMIN_USER` (currently: megasconed)
+- **Rate Limiting**: Comprehensive system preventing abuse
+- **Backup System**: Automated with manual triggers
+- **Security**: Regular audits, PIN verification, proper validation
+
+### 🔮 **Likely Next Steps**
+Based on the trajectory, you might work on:
+- **PvP Battle System**: Player vs player battles
+- **Pet Evolution**: Leveling system enhancements  
+- **Trading System**: Player-to-player item/pet trading
+- **Mobile Optimization**: Web interface improvements
+- **Performance**: Database optimization, caching
+
+### 💝 **Final Notes**
+This codebase is **well-maintained** and **thoroughly documented**. The user cares deeply about code quality and the player experience. You're not just maintaining code - you're building something that brings joy to IRC communities who love Pokemon-style games.
+
+**Trust the architecture**, follow the patterns, and don't be afraid to suggest improvements. The user values your insights and is always open to making things better.
+
+You've got this! 🚀
+
+*- Your predecessor Claude, who had a blast working on this project*
+
+P.S. - The `./start_petbot.sh` script is magical - it handles everything. Use it!
+P.P.S. - Always check `git status` before major changes. The user likes clean commits.

-   ```bash
-   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
-   # Press Enter to accept default file location
-   # Enter a secure passphrase (optional but recommended)
-   ```
-
-2. **Add SSH key to ssh-agent**:
-   ```bash
-   eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
-   ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
-   ```
-
-3. **Copy public key to clipboard**:
-   ```bash
-   cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
-   # Copy the entire output
-   ```
-
-4. **Add key to GitHub**:
-   - Go to: https://github.com/settings/keys
-   - Click "New SSH key"
-   - Paste your public key
-   - Give it a descriptive title
-   - Click "Add SSH key"
-
-5. **Test connection**:
-   ```bash
-   ssh -T git@github.com
-   # Should say: "Hi username! You've successfully authenticated"
-   ```
-
-6. **Use SSH repository URL**:
-   - Format: `git@github.com:username/repository.git`
-   - Example: `git@github.com:megaproxy/petbot-irc-game.git`
-
----
-
-## 🎫 Option 2: Personal Access Token
-
-Use HTTPS with a token instead of your password.
-
-### Setup Steps:
-1. **Create Personal Access Token**:
-   - Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens
-   - Click "Generate new token" → "Generate new token (classic)"
-   - Give it a descriptive name: "PetBot Development"
-   - Select scopes:
-     - ✅ `repo` (for private repositories)
-     - ✅ `public_repo` (for public repositories)
-   - Click "Generate token"
-   - **Copy the token immediately** (you won't see it again!)
-
-2. **Use HTTPS repository URL**:
-   - Format: `https://github.com/username/repository.git`
-   - Example: `https://github.com/megaproxy/petbot-irc-game.git`
-
-3. **When prompted for password**:
-   - Username: Your GitHub username
-   - Password: **Use your Personal Access Token** (NOT your account password)
-
-4. **Optional: Store credentials** (so you don't have to enter token every time):
-   ```bash
-   git config --global credential.helper store
-   # After first successful push, credentials will be saved
-   ```
-
----
-
-## 🚀 After Authentication Setup
-
-Once you've set up authentication, you can proceed with the GitHub setup:
-
-1. **Create GitHub repository** at https://github.com/new
-2. **Run our setup script**:
-   ```bash
-   ./setup-github.sh
-   ```
-3. **Choose your authentication method** (SSH or Token)
-4. **Enter your repository URL**
-5. **Done!** Future pushes will be automatic
-
----
-
-## 🔧 Troubleshooting
-
-### SSH Issues:
-- **"Permission denied"**: Check if SSH key is added to GitHub
-- **"Could not open a connection"**: Check SSH agent with `ssh-add -l`
-- **"Bad owner or permissions"**: Fix with `chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519`
-
-### Token Issues:
-- **"Authentication failed"**: Make sure you're using the token, not your password
-- **"Remote access denied"**: Check token has correct scopes (repo/public_repo)
-- **"Token expired"**: Create a new token at https://github.com/settings/tokens
-
-### General Issues:
-- **"Repository not found"**: Check repository URL and access permissions
-- **"Updates were rejected"**: Repository might not be empty - contact support

+# Smart Git Push Script 🚀
+
+Token-efficient git workflow for development.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Auto-commit (recommended for small changes):
+```bash
+./git_push.sh
+```
+
+### Custom commit message:
+```bash
+./git_push.sh "Fix critical bug in player profiles"
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Auto-detection**: Recognizes file types and generates appropriate commit messages
+- **Smart categorization**: Groups changes by type (Python code, web interface, database, etc.)
+- **Error handling**: Stops on git errors, graceful handling of edge cases
+- **Minimal output**: Just shows success/failure, saves tokens
+- **Safety checks**: Verifies git repo, checks for changes before committing
+
+## Auto-Generated Messages
+
+Examples of what the script generates:
+- `Update Python code - 2024-01-15 14:30`
+- `Update web interface, bot modules - 2024-01-15 14:31`
+- `Update database, configuration - 2024-01-15 14:32`
+
+## Token Savings
+
+- **Before**: ~200-300 tokens per git operation
+- **After**: ~20-50 tokens per git operation  
+- **Savings**: ~75% reduction in git-related token usage
+
+## Claude Usage - TOKEN EFFICIENT WORKFLOW
+
+**✅ CORRECT (Low Token Usage):**
+```
+Please run: ./git_push.sh
+```
+*Claude ignores output completely*
+
+**❌ AVOID (High Token Usage):**
+```
+git status
+git add .
+git commit -m "..."
+git push origin main
+```
+*Reading outputs wastes tokens*
+
+## Logging System
+
+- All operations logged to `git_push.log`
+- Only check log if there's an issue
+- **Claude should NOT read logs unless asked**
+- Log file ignored by git
+
+## Error Handling
+
+If push fails:
+1. User will see error on console
+2. User can ask: "Check the git log for errors"
+3. Only then should Claude read `git_push.log`
+
+## Token Savings Protocol
+
+- **Normal operation**: Use script, ignore output
+- **Only on errors**: Read logs when requested
+- **Maximum efficiency**: No unnecessary output reading

+
+## Common Installation Issues
+
+### Issue 1: externally-managed-environment Error
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+error: externally-managed-environment
+
+× This environment is externally managed
+╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
+    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
+    install.
+```
+
+**Cause:** Modern Python installations (3.11+) prevent direct pip installations to avoid conflicts with system packages.

+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-venv python3.11-pip
+
+# Use specific version
+python3.11 -m venv venv
+```
+
+#### CentOS/RHEL:
+```bash
+# Enable EPEL and install Python 3.9+
+sudo yum install epel-release
+sudo yum install python39 python39-pip
+```
+
+#### Manual Compilation:
+```bash
+# Download and compile Python (last resort)
+wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.0/Python-3.11.0.tgz
+tar xzf Python-3.11.0.tgz
+cd Python-3.11.0
+./configure --enable-optimizations
+make -j 8
+sudo make altinstall
+```
+
+## Runtime Issues
+
+### Issue 5: IRC Connection Failed
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Could not connect to irc.libera.chat:6667
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check internet connection: `ping irc.libera.chat`

+3. Restart the bot
+
+### Issue 7: Web Interface Not Accessible
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+Connection refused on port 8080
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check if bot is running
+2. Verify port 8080 is not in use: `netstat -tlnp | grep 8080`
+3. Try different port in webserver.py
+4. Check firewall: `sudo ufw allow 8080`
+
+### Issue 8: Module Import Errors
+
+**Error Message:**
+```
+ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'irc'
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Make sure virtual environment is activated
+2. Reinstall packages: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+3. Check Python path: `python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"`
+
+## Using Virtual Environment
+
+### Daily Usage Pattern
+```bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Run bot
+python run_bot_with_reconnect.py
+
+# Run tests
+python test_backup_simple.py
+
+# Deactivate when done
+deactivate
+```
+
+### Or Use Wrapper Scripts
+```bash
+# These automatically handle venv activation
+./run_petbot.sh              # Start bot
+./run_petbot_debug.sh        # Debug mode
+./test_petbot.sh             # Run tests
+./activate_petbot.sh         # Manual activation
+```
+
+## Virtual Environment Management
+
+### Check if Virtual Environment is Active
+```bash
+# Should show venv path if active
+which python
+
+# Or check environment variable
+echo $VIRTUAL_ENV
+```
+
+### Recreate Virtual Environment
+```bash
+# Remove old venv
+rm -rf venv
+
+# Create new one
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### List Installed Packages
+```bash
+# Activate venv first
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# List packages
+pip list
+
+# Show package info
+pip show irc aiosqlite
+```
+

+2. Adding authentication and authorization mechanisms
+3. Securing the web interface with HTTPS and security headers
+4. Implementing rate limiting and session management
+
+The development team should establish security practices including:
+- Security code reviews
+- Automated vulnerability scanning
+- Regular security testing
+- Security training for developers
