cottongin c88b75f30d docs: comprehensive documentation overhaul
Rewrite README.md and all setup guides to reflect the current native
GraphQL WebSocket architecture (replacing stale headless Chrome/WebSocket
interception descriptions). Add new docs/IRC.md with complete IRC command
reference, vote syntax, and ticker symbol table.

Archive pre-edit docs to docs/archive/setup-backup-2026-05-10/ and move
historical development notes from docs/ root into docs/archive/.

# Quick Start Guide
Get the Kosmi-IRC bridge running in minutes.
## Prerequisites
- Go 1.23 or higher
- Chrome/Chromium (only needed for email/password authentication)
- A Kosmi room URL
- (Optional) IRC server access for full relay
## Step 1: Build the Bridge
```bash
cd irc-kosmi-relay
# Download dependencies
go mod download
# Build
go build -o matterbridge .
```
## Step 2: Configure
Copy and edit the example configuration:
```bash
cp matterbridge.toml.example matterbridge.toml
nano matterbridge.toml
```
Update these values:
```toml
[kosmi.hyperspaceout]
RoomURL="https://app.kosmi.io/room/@YOUR_ROOM"
[irc.zeronode]
Server="irc.libera.chat:6697"
Nick="your-bot-nick"
UseTLS=true
[[gateway.inout]]
account="irc.zeronode"
channel="#your-channel"
```
**Important**: The Kosmi channel is always `"main"` (one channel per room). The IRC channel must include `#`.
### Optional: Authenticated Kosmi Access
To use a Kosmi account instead of anonymous access, add credentials:
```toml
[kosmi.hyperspaceout]
RoomURL="https://app.kosmi.io/room/@YOUR_ROOM"
Email="your-email@example.com"
Password="your-password"
```
This requires Chrome/Chromium for the initial browser-based login. The JWT is cached locally for subsequent runs.
## Step 3: Run
```bash
./matterbridge -conf matterbridge.toml
```
Or with debug logging:
```bash
./matterbridge -conf matterbridge.toml -debug
```
### Expected Output (Success)
```
INFO Running version ...
INFO Connecting to Kosmi
INFO Extracted room ID: @YOUR_ROOM
INFO No credentials provided, using anonymous access
INFO Successfully connected to Kosmi
INFO Connection succeeded (IRC)
INFO Gateway(s) started successfully. Now relaying messages
```
## Step 4: Test the Relay
1. **Kosmi --> IRC**: Send a message in your Kosmi room. It should appear in IRC as:
```
[kosmi] <username> your message here
```
2. **IRC --> Kosmi**: Send a message in your IRC channel. It should appear in Kosmi as:
```
[irc] <username> your message here
```
## Troubleshooting
### Kosmi connection fails
- Verify the room URL is correct (use the full URL from your browser)
- Check network connectivity: `curl -I https://app.kosmi.io`
- Run with `-debug` for detailed WebSocket connection logs
**Supported room URL formats:**
- `https://app.kosmi.io/room/@roomname`
- `https://app.kosmi.io/room/roomid`
### Authentication issues
- Verify Chrome/Chromium is installed: `which chromium chromium-browser google-chrome`
- Check credentials are correct by logging in manually at `app.kosmi.io`
- Delete the token cache to force a fresh login: `rm -f data/kosmi_token_cache.json`
- See [BROWSER_AUTH_GUIDE.md](BROWSER_AUTH_GUIDE.md) for detailed auth troubleshooting
### Messages not relaying
- Confirm both bridges are connected (look for success messages in logs)
- Verify channel names match in the gateway configuration
- Enable debug logging to trace message flow
