config.yaml nested cheshire_cat and face_detector under the 'services' key,
and llama URLs under 'services.llama'. But AppConfig expects:
- services -> {url, amd_url} (llama endpoints directly)
- cheshire_cat -> top-level key
- face_detector -> top-level key
Because Pydantic silently ignores extra fields, ServicesConfig received
{llama: {...}, cheshire_cat: {...}, face_detector: {...}} and none matched
its 'url'/'amd_url' fields, so ALL service config from YAML was silently
ignored and Pydantic defaults were always used instead.
Flattened services to contain url/amd_url directly, and moved cheshire_cat
and face_detector to top-level keys matching the AppConfig model. Verified
both AppConfig(**yaml_data) and config_manager dot-path traversal work.
Major changes:
- Add Pydantic-based configuration system (bot/config.py, bot/config_manager.py)
- Add config.yaml with all service URLs, models, and feature flags
- Fix config.yaml path resolution in Docker (check /app/config.yaml first)
- Remove Fish Audio API integration (tested feature that didn't work)
- Remove hardcoded ERROR_WEBHOOK_URL, import from config instead
- Add missing Pydantic models (LogConfigUpdateRequest, LogFilterUpdateRequest)
- Enable Cheshire Cat memory system by default (USE_CHESHIRE_CAT=true)
- Add .env.example template with all required environment variables
- Add setup.sh script for user-friendly initialization
- Update docker-compose.yml with proper env file mounting
- Update .gitignore for config files and temporary files
Config system features:
- Static configuration from config.yaml
- Runtime overrides from config_runtime.yaml
- Environment variables for secrets (.env)
- Web UI integration via config_manager
- Graceful fallback to defaults
Secrets handling:
- Move ERROR_WEBHOOK_URL from hardcoded to .env
- Add .env.example with all placeholder values
- Document all required secrets
- Fish API key and voice ID removed from .env
