# LINE Client Skill

Full LINE messaging client via the Chrome extension gateway JSON API.

## Repo & Files

- **Repo:** `/data/workspace/line-client` ([github.com/2manslkh/line-api](https://github.com/2manslkh/line-api))
- **Main client:** `src/chrome_client.py` → `LineChromeClient`
- **QR login:** `src/auth/qr_login.py` → `QRLogin`
- **HMAC signer:** `src/hmac/signer.js` (Node.js, auto-starts on port 18944)
- **Token storage:** `~/.line-client/tokens.json`
- **Certificate cache:** `~/.line-client/sqr_cert`
- **WASM files:** `lstm.wasm` + `lstmSandbox.js` (required, in repo root)

## Quick Start

```python
import json
from pathlib import Path
from src.chrome_client import LineChromeClient

tokens = json.loads((Path.home() / ".line-client" / "tokens.json").read_text())
client = LineChromeClient(auth_token=tokens["auth_token"])

# Send a message
client.send_message("U...", "Hello!")

# Get profile
profile = client.get_profile()
```

Tokens expire in ~7 days. If expired (`APIError(10051)`), re-run QR login.

## QR Login (Authentication)

QR login requires user interaction: scan QR on phone + enter PIN.

```python
from src.hmac import HmacSigner
from src.auth.qr_login import QRLogin
import qrcode

signer = HmacSigner(mode="server")
login = QRLogin(signer)
result = login.run(
    on_qr=lambda url: send_qr_image_to_user(qrcode.make(url)),
    on_pin=lambda pin: send_pin_to_user_IMMEDIATELY(pin),  # TIME SENSITIVE!
    on_status=lambda msg: print(msg),
)
# result.auth_token, result.mid, result.refresh_token
```

**Critical:** The PIN must reach the user within ~60 seconds. Send it the instant `on_pin` fires.

### QR Login State Machine
1. `createSession` → session ID
2. `createQrCode` → callback URL (append `?secret={curve25519_pubkey}&e2eeVersion=1`)
3. `checkQrCodeVerified` — poll until scan (uses `X-Line-Session-ID`, no `origin` header)
4. **`verifyCertificate`** — MUST be called even if it fails (required state transition!)
5. `createPinCode` → 6-digit PIN (skip if cert verified in step 4)
6. `checkPinCodeVerified` — poll until user enters PIN
7. `qrCodeLoginV2` → JWT token + certificate + refresh token

### Server-Side Login Script
```bash
python scripts/qr_login_server.py /tmp/qr.png
```
Emits JSON events on stdout: `{"event": "qr", "path": "...", "url": "..."}`, `{"event": "pin", "pin": "123456"}`, `{"event": "done", "mid": "U..."}`.

## MID Format

LINE identifies entities by MID:
- `U...` or `u...` → User (toType=0)
- `C...` or `c...` → Group chat (toType=2)
- `R...` or `r...` → Room (toType=1)

The client auto-detects `toType` from the MID prefix when sending messages.

## HMAC Signing

All API calls require `X-Hmac` header. The WASM signer handles this automatically:
- Derives key from version "3.7.1" + access token via proprietary KDF (in lstm.wasm)
- Signs `path + body` → base64 → `X-Hmac`
- Server mode: ~13ms/sign (Node.js HTTP server on port 18944, auto-started)
- Subprocess mode: ~2s/sign (fallback)

## Error Handling

```python
from src.chrome_client import APIError

try:
    client.send_message(mid, "test")
except APIError as e:
    print(e.code, e.api_message)
    # 10051 = session expired / invalid
    # 10052 = HTTP error from backend
    # 10102 = invalid arguments
```

## Architecture

```
User's Phone (LINE app)
    ↕ (scan QR / enter PIN)
LINE Servers (line-chrome-gw.line-apps.com)
    ↕ (JSON REST + X-Hmac signing)
LineChromeClient (this repo)
    ↕ (WASM HMAC via Node.js signer)
lstm.wasm + lstmSandbox.js
```

The Chrome Gateway translates JSON ↔ Thrift internally. We never deal with Thrift binary — everything is clean JSON.
