# Dental Agent (Windows)

`agent.py` runs on a staff front-desk Windows PC. It connects to the app's server over the
`/agent` socket.io namespace and executes low-level commands — screenshot, click,
double-click, type, key press — sent by the server. It has no knowledge of dental software
or workflows; the app's AI reads the screenshots this agent sends back and decides what to
click or type next.

Not wired into the repo's root `npm install` on purpose — it targets Windows (`pyautogui`,
`tkinter`) and doesn't need to install on every contributor's machine.

## Command protocol

Sent by the server, over the `/agent` namespace, as socket.io events with an ack callback:

| Event              | Payload              | Ack response      |
|---------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|
| `cmd:screenshot`    | `{}`                  | `{ image: <base64 PNG> }` |
| `cmd:click`         | `{ x, y }`            | `{ ok: true }`     |
| `cmd:double_click`  | `{ x, y }`            | `{ ok: true }`     |
| `cmd:double_click_current` | `{}`           | `{ ok: true }`     |
| `cmd:type`          | `{ text }`            | `{ ok: true }`     |
| `cmd:key`           | `{ key }`             | `{ ok: true }`     |

Auth on connect: `{ auth: { token } }`, where `token` must match the server's
`WINDOWS_AGENT_TOKEN`. The token is a constant baked into `agent.py` (`AGENT_TOKEN` near the
top) — set it before building for a real office, staff never see or type it. The server tells
front-desk PCs apart by connection IP address (shown on the Type Agent page), not anything
the agent sends.

## Local dev / testing

```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python agent.py
```

On first run it asks only for the Server URL, then saves it to `agent_config.json` next to
the script so it reconnects automatically after that. After that it has no window — just a
system tray icon (green = Connected, gray = Connecting, red = Disconnected). Click it (or
right-click for the same menu) for status, the server URL, "Settings..." (reopens the setup
window pre-filled with the current URL — close without submitting to leave it unchanged), and
Quit.

`apps/Backend/scripts/fake-windows-agent.js` is a Node stand-in for this agent — useful for
testing the server-side bridge without a Windows PC or a real screen to click on.

## Building DentalAgent.exe

Must be run **on Windows** (PyInstaller doesn't cross-compile):

```bat
py -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv\Scripts\pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --name DentalAgent agent.py
```

Output: `dist\DentalAgent.exe`. Staff download and run it once — no other setup.
