Adds bot commands for the bridge_self provider so operators can inspect
and manage bridge health from chat: /status, /thresholds, /reset, /health.
Includes Jinja2 templates for both locales, seed data, capability slots,
and a handler that exposes pending deferred backlog plus per-counter
reset. Also adds .claude/skills/ for project-scoped graph-aware skills.
Comprehensive multi-area pass driven by a parallel 8-agent production
review. Frontend, backend, database, security, performance, operational,
plus a new self-monitoring feature.
## Critical fixes
- Planka webhook: reads bounded raw body (was NameError on every call)
- HA quiet hours: ha_state_changed/automation_triggered/service_called/
event_fired added to deferrable set (were silently dropped)
- DNS-rebinding SSRF: PinnedResolver wired into shared aiohttp session
- Telegram inbound webhook: secret now mandatory (401 without)
- Generic webhook: auth_mode="none" requires explicit
acknowledge_unauthenticated=true; per-IP rate limit 60/min
- svelte-check: 5 null-narrowing errors in EventDetailModal fixed
- Provider hardcoding: Immich-only block extracted to descriptor
featureDiscoveryHint
- command_sync: snapshot+expunge bot before exiting AsyncSession
## Bug fixes
- notifier asyncio.gather(return_exceptions=True) — one bad chat no longer
cancels peer sends
- NotificationDispatcher hoisted out of per-tracker loop
- Provider credential resolution unified across all 5 dispatch sites
- HA asyncio.shield now drains inner task on cancellation
- Provider construction switched from if/elif ladder to factory registry
- NUT first poll seeds silently (no spurious ups_on_battery)
- Quiet-hours gate: event-type-disabled now wins over deferral
- APScheduler drain job ID resolution upgraded to seconds
- HA on_status_change wired through to EventLog
- Webhook payload rollback failures now logged (not swallowed)
- Batched receivers/chats/bots in load_link_data (was per-target N+1)
- flag_modified on JSON column reassignments in deferred_dispatch
## Database
- UNIQUE indexes on service_provider.webhook_token,
telegram_bot.webhook_path_id, partial UNIQUE on telegram_bot.bot_id,
telegram_chat(bot_id, chat_id), notification_tracker_target unique link,
partial UNIQUE on bridge_self provider per user
- Composite ix_event_log_user_event_type_created index
- save_chat_from_webhook switched to ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
- ondelete=CASCADE on user-id FKs (model annotation; app-side cascade
delete added for existing data)
- delete_notification_tracker converted from N+1 to bulk DELETE/UPDATE
- Module-level asyncio.Lock replaced with lazy _get_lock() pattern
- VACUUM INTO snapshot now PRAGMA integrity_check verified
## Performance
- Jinja2 template compilation LRU cached (lru_cache maxsize=512)
- Per-locale render cache in NotificationDispatcher (skips re-rendering
identical content for receivers sharing a locale)
- Tracker list cached per provider_id with 5s TTL + explicit invalidation
on tracker CRUD (relieves HA chat-bus rate query pressure)
- Nav-counts collapsed from 16 round-trips to single UNION ALL
- HA event_log: skip persisting empty assets_added/removed events
## Security hardening
- Mass-assignment guard on Action create/update; cron sub-minute reject
- Backup JSON depth/node-count cap (depth ≤ 10, nodes ≤ 100k)
- _sanitize_config extended to all JSON-typed fields on backup import
- Telegram _safe_get walks redirects manually with SSRF revalidation
- Bcrypt 72-byte password length cap with clear 422
- Webhook payload body redaction; sensitive substring set extended with
oauth/client_secret/webhook_secret/csrf in both header filter and
template extras filter
## Frontend
- 76 catch (err: any) sites converted to errMsg(err) helper
- globalProviderFilter: pure getter; reconciliation moved to one-time
$effect in +layout
- Provider-filter binding: removed paired $effects + _syncingFilter flag,
now one-way derived
- entity-cache: separate _refreshing flag for background re-fetches
- api.ts 401 handling: AuthRedirectError class + dedup _redirecting flag,
goto() instead of window.location.href
- a11y: aria-expanded on mobile More, role=switch + aria-checked on
Telegram bot toggles
## Tests & operations
- CI pytest gate added to .gitea/workflows/build.yml + release.yml
(wheel-built install to dodge editable-install slowness)
- /api/ready upgraded to deep healthcheck (db SELECT 1, scheduler.running,
HA supervisor presence) returning {ready, checks, errors, version}
- /api/metrics endpoint with prometheus_client (deferred_pending,
event_log_total, dispatch_duration, poll_failures, send_failures)
- New OPERATIONS.md covering deploy, healthchecks, metrics, backup/restore
procedures, log handling, common scenarios, upgrade flow
- New tests: test_bridge_self (11), test_gitea_parser (9),
test_planka_parser (6), test_immich_change_detector (6),
test_backup_roundtrip (1)
## New feature: bridge self-monitoring
- New bridge_self provider type — internal sink for bridge health events
- Three event types: bridge_self_poll_failures (consecutive tracker poll
failures), bridge_self_deferred_backlog (pending count crosses
threshold), bridge_self_target_failures (consecutive 5xx/network
failures per target)
- Per-user thresholds (defaults: 3 / 100 / 5) configurable via the
provider config form
- Auto-seeded on user create + /setup + boot backfill for existing users
- Anti-spam: counters reset after emission; backlog uses transition latch
- Self-loop guard: bridge_self failures don't count toward target-failure
thresholds (logged only) — wire to your own Telegram/Email/Matrix to
get notified when polls/dispatches/sends fail
- 6 default templates (3 events × 2 locales), tracking config columns
with backfill migration, frontend descriptor (excluded from "create
provider" wizard since auto-managed)
Operator-visible behavior changes (call out in release notes):
- NOTIFY_BRIDGE_TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET now REQUIRED for webhook mode
- Existing webhook providers with auth_mode="none" need explicit opt-in
- Generic webhook endpoint rate-limited 60/min per source IP
- HA disconnect/reconnect writes ha_status_* EventLog rows
- Every user gets a bridge_self provider — wire it to a target to
receive failure alerts
Pre-existing test failures (test_ssrf, test_release_provider) on
Python 3.13 are unrelated; CI runs on 3.12.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Defer quiet-hours dispatches into new deferred_dispatch table; drain
job + periodic catch-up scan re-fire at window end with coalescing on
(link, event_type, collection_id).
- Add ON DELETE SET NULL migration on event_log_id and partial unique
index on (link_id, collection_id, event_type) WHERE status='pending'.
- Add release-check provider abstraction (Gitea/GitHub) with SSRF-safe
URL validation, settings UI cassette, and scheduled polling.
- Replace importlib-only version lookup with version.py helper that
prefers the higher of installed metadata vs source pyproject so stale
editable dev installs stop misreporting.
- Aurora frontend polish: MetaStrip component, ReleaseCassette,
EventDetailModal expansion, and i18n additions.
- Auto-refresh ticker is now silent: skips ``eventsLoading`` so the
loading placeholder no longer flashes, uses ``(event.id)`` key on
the events ``{#each}`` so unchanged rows reuse their DOM nodes, and
short-circuits the array reassignment when the visible page is
identical to what we already rendered. No-op refreshes leave the
list completely untouched.
- ``PageHeader`` crumbs (Routing · Notification, Operators · Bots, …)
were hard-coded literals. Moved to a new ``crumbs`` i18n namespace
with 9 keys; updated all 15 call sites to ``t('crumbs.*')`` so they
switch with the language.
- Tracker form's Immich feature-discovery banner now exposes both
``Open Tracking Config`` and ``Open Template Config``. Added the
``?edit=<id>`` auto-open hook to ``/template-configs`` (mirrors the
existing one on ``/tracking-configs``) so the new link lands users
directly on the editor.
Mirror the providers form pattern (defaultName tied to type) across
bots, targets, trackers, actions, and configs. Each form now derives
form.name from the selected type or provider while the user hasn't
manually edited it; switching to edit-mode flips the manualEdited
flag so existing names are preserved.
Defaults: bots → "<Type> Bot"; targets → type label; notification
trackers → "<provider> Tracker"; command trackers → "<provider>
Commands"; actions → "<provider> <Action Type>"; tracking/template/
command/command-template configs → "<descriptor.defaultName>
<Suffix>". TargetForm and TrackerForm grew an optional onnameinput
prop so parents can flag manual edits in subform inputs.
Mirrors the notification-template page's group layout. Command slots
now split by name prefix into Command Responses, Error Messages
(rate_limited/no_results), Command Descriptions (desc_*), and Usage
Examples (usage_*). Language picker, reset-all, and slot filter are
hoisted above the groups so they apply across all fieldsets, and
empty groups are hidden so providers without usage_* don't render
empty headers.
Drops the orphan cmdTemplateConfig.commandResponsesHint i18n key —
hints.commandResponses replaces it.
- Template editors (notification & command) now use EntitySelect for
locale switching and default to the configured primary locale
instead of always 'en' when opening, editing, or cloning a config.
- LocaleSelector's add-flow uses EntitySelect for catalog pick;
custom BCP-47 codes (e.g. de-CH) keep a small dedicated input.
- TimezoneSelector dropdown was being clipped by Card's overflow:hidden
and backdrop-filter; portalled to <body> with an overlay backdrop and
styled as a centered modal palette (same pattern as EntitySelect).
- Removed top padding on the timezone scroll list so sticky region
group headers no longer leak rows above them.
- Extracted shared locale catalog to lib/locales.ts.
Comprehensive pre-production sweep across the Aurora redesign — drives
svelte-check to 0 errors / 0 warnings (was 61) without changing visual
intent. Highlights:
- Mobile: hero title shrinks at 480px, signal-list stacks timestamp
under sentence below 640px, sidebar icon buttons bumped to 40x40
- Light theme: muted-foreground darkened to #3a3560 to clear WCAG AA
on glass surfaces and the modal close button
- Perf: topbar backdrop-filter 28→14px, mobile-more sheet 28→12px to
cut concurrent blur layers on mid-tier mobile
- a11y: prefers-reduced-motion mute for aurora drift / pulses /
shimmer / stagger; aria-label on every icon-only button;
aria-describedby on Hint; combobox/listbox/aria-activedescendant on
SearchPalette; modal dialog tabindex; 47 label-without-control
warnings across 14 form pages cleaned up via for=/id= or label→div
- Dashboard derived state split into topology- vs status-bound layers
so polling no longer re-runs the full provider/wires computation
- Mobile bottom nav derived from baseNavEntries by key lookup so
adding a top-level nav entry keeps the two trees in sync
- Bug: template-configs page now respects the global provider filter
for both the count meter and the type pill (was reading the
unfiltered cache)
- Misc: portal EventChart tooltip and switch its swatches to Aurora
tokens; CollapsibleSlot warning state uses warning-fg/-bg tokens
instead of #d97706; Hint z-index 99999→9999; element refs across
Modal/EntitySelect/MultiEntitySelect/SearchPalette/IconGridSelect/
Hint/targets converted to \$state for reactivity; 4 dead
.topbar-cta selectors removed
Big batch — every secondary page now wears the same glass-card hero
that landed on Providers earlier:
- notification-trackers, tracking-configs, template-configs
- command-trackers, command-configs, command-template-configs
- targets (with active-tab title), actions
- bots (telegram / email / matrix tabs)
- settings, settings/backup, users
Each page picks an italic-em emphasis word, an editorial crumb (e.g.
'Routing · Notification', 'Operators · Bots', 'System · Maintenance'),
a count meter, and entity-specific status pills derived from live
data: 'X armed / Y paused' for trackers and actions, 'X types' for
configs/templates, 'X channels' or '$N receivers' for targets.
Other changes in this commit:
- Button.svelte: redesigned. Primary variant becomes a real Aurora
CTA — gradient lavender → orchid pill, 40px tall md / 34px sm,
inset highlight, lift + glow on hover. Secondary, danger, ghost
variants reworked to match. The 'Add <Type>' button on every page
now reads as the page's primary action instead of a flat lavender
rectangle.
- JinjaEditor: overrode oneDark's hardcoded background with
!important so the editor surface picks up var(--color-input-bg).
Gutters / scroller / selection / autocomplete tooltip all match
Aurora glass tokens now. Template editors stop visually clashing
with the surrounding panel.
- Aurora pulse dot: rewritten as a self-contained box-shadow glow
pulse (no transform, no pseudo-element). The dot's bounding box is
now stable so ancestors with overflow:hidden can never clip the
visible dot — only the (decorative) outer glow halo. Fixes the
'half-moon clipping' on the dashboard 'On watch' deck.
- topbar-action.svelte.ts left in tree but unused (topbar CTA was
reverted per your call). Will clean up in a later commit.
- Form input baseline styling moved into app.css (rounded 0.625rem,
glass background, hover/focus rings) so untouched filter inputs
on the per-type pages stop looking out of place.
i18n: emphasis / countLabel / armed / paused / receiver / receivers
/ channelsCount keys added across en + ru.
Build clean: 0 errors, 61 pre-existing a11y warnings unchanged.
Dispatch: honor {kind}_collection_mode on TrackingConfig — "per_collection"
fans out one event per album; "combined" pools assets as before. Extract
build_immich_dispatch_events shared by cron and test paths.
Assets: collect_scheduled_assets attaches album_name/album_url/album_public_url
to each asset so combined-mode templates can attribute rows to their source
album. Default scheduled_assets templates render a multi-album header with
inline album list and per-row album link; memory_mode follows the same pattern.
UI: "Reset to default" buttons on notification and command template slots
(per-slot and whole-template), backed by new GET /*-template-configs/defaults
endpoints. tracking-configs "Preview template" now opens an inline preview
modal with locale tabs instead of navigating away; Edit button deep-links
with ?edit_slot=<name> so the destination auto-opens the config and scrolls
to the slot. Reset confirmations use ConfirmModal instead of window.confirm.
Fixes:
* NotificationDispatcher._session_ctx infinite recursion when no shared
aiohttp.ClientSession was passed — broke test dispatch for periodic/
scheduled/memory (cron path was unaffected).
* telegram-bots /chats/{id}/test now resolves chat.language_override /
language_code instead of using the raw ?locale query param, matching
the resolution the tracker-target test endpoint already used.
* scheduled_assets default template no longer emits a blank line between
header and the first asset when the multi-album branch is taken.
- UI: command-template-configs now resolves slot variables against the
active provider first (varsRef[provider_type][slot]) before falling back
to shared entries, so provider-specific slots like /search, /status,
/repos, /issues, /boards show the Variables button and autocomplete.
- Backend: /search, /find, /person, /place now normalize raw Immich API
responses through build_asset_dict, extracting city/country from
exifInfo and mapping isFavorite -> is_favorite so templates render
location and favorite indicators.
- Telegram: extract build_telegram_asset_entry into a shared helper so
the notification dispatcher and command media groups agree on video
typing and /video/playback URLs; videos no longer render as still
thumbnails in /latest /random /favorites media mode.
- Commands: send_media_group now reuses the same Telegram file_id caches
as the notification dispatcher, avoiding re-upload churn for repeated
commands.
Backend
- Per-chat album scope for Immich commands (search/latest/memory/...): new
allowed_album_ids on CommandTrackerListener, threaded listener/page kwargs
through ProviderCommandHandler.handle; PATCH listener-scope endpoint.
- /search and /find accept a trailing page number; Immich client search_smart
/ search_metadata take a page param.
- Immich person-asset lookup switched from removed GET /api/people/{id}/assets
to POST /api/search/metadata with personIds (fixes /person command and
auto_organize rules silently returning zero candidates on Immich 1.106+).
- Auto_organize rule now sets the target album's thumbnail to the first added
image when missing (falls back to any asset type); failures do not fail the
rule. add_assets_to_album surfaces the Immich error body on non-2xx.
- EventLog.user_id / action_id / action_name columns with defensive migration
+ backfill. Status query filters by user_id directly; Immich/webhook paths
emit user_id explicitly. action_runner writes an action_success/partial/
failed event on each non-dry-run.
- Dashboard DELETE /api/status/events (scoped to user_id) + rendering live
tracker/provider/action names via FK join with snapshot fallback.
- PATCH /api/users/{id} for username/role change with last-admin guard.
- Deletion protection returns structured {message, entity, blocked_by}
(ApiError carries .blockedBy; frontend opens BlockedByModal).
- Backup prepare-restore → AppSetting markers + atomic write of
pending_restore.json; lifespan hook applies on next startup and archives
under data/applied_restores/. apply-restart sends SIGTERM so the lifespan
shutdown runs; NOTIFY_BRIDGE_SUPERVISED env override gates the button.
Manual POST /api/backup/files (same format as scheduled).
- New periodic-summary test path reuses shared collect_scheduled_assets
(limit=0) so test and future production code go through one primitive.
- Per-receiver locale for Telegram test messages (resolves
TelegramChat.language_override per chat instead of applying the first
receiver's locale to everyone).
- Bounded concurrency (semaphores) in NotificationDispatcher._preload_asset_data
and _refresh_telegram_chat_titles; chat title sweep extended to 24h since
save_chat_from_webhook covers active chats opportunistically.
- Telegram poller detects the \"webhook is active\" 409 and auto-calls
deleteWebhook for bots whose DB update_mode is polling (throttled per bot).
- TelegramClient.get_chat added (CLAUDE.md rule 6); set_album_thumbnail added.
- Seeds: rename \"Default Commands\" → \"Default Immich Commands\";
track_assets_removed default False.
Frontend
- Global provider selector visible when there is only one provider.
- Clear-events button + i18n + ConfirmModal on the dashboard; new icons/
labels/filters/colors for action_success / action_partial / action_failed.
- Auto-select first available tracking/template/command/config + bot on
create forms (trackers, command-trackers, targets, template/command
configs).
- Telegram target disable_url_preview defaults to true.
- BlockedByModal wired into 8 deletion flows; fetchAuth helper for
multipart/binary calls (reuses api()'s refresh + ApiError mapping).
- Immich tracker 'Checking links' parallelised (concurrency cap 6).
- Backup page: pending-restore banner + Apply-now / Apply-later modal,
restarting overlay polling /api/health, manual 'Create backup' button.
- Command-trackers listener row gets an 'Edit album scope' modal with
inherit/explicit multiselect.
- Users page: Edit user modal (username + role).
- parseDate helper for consistent UTC date rendering.
Migrations / schema
- event_log: + user_id, action_id, action_name (+ backfill user_id from
notification_tracker).
- command_tracker_listener: + allowed_album_ids.
- Remove top paginator from dashboard events, keep only bottom
- Fix test message locale: pass UI locale to email/matrix bot tests
- Convert webhook auth mode from text input to icon grid selector
- Generate secure UUID tokens for webhook URLs instead of sequential IDs
- Move Recent Payloads into per-provider expandable container (lazy-loaded)
- Make template config languages dynamic via app settings instead of hardcoded
- Change default dev port to 5175
Template slot editors (notification + command) now use collapsible
accordion rows instead of showing all editors at once. Each slot
displays a compact header with status pill (empty/valid/warning/error).
Adds slot name filtering and a preview toggle button that swaps
between editor and rendered preview views.
- Command templates now match notification template style: type icons,
linked filenames via album shared links, location, favorite status
- Media mode sends text message first, then media as reply (was media-only)
- Search/find/person/place resolve asset public URLs from tracked albums'
shared links (share/{key}/photos/{id})
- Albums/summary commands include album public_url in context
- Enriched command template preview sample context with public_url, city,
country, is_favorite
- Extract sanitizePreview to shared lib/sanitize.ts
- Command template preview now renders HTML links (was raw text)
- Global provider filter moved above search in sidebar
- CLAUDE.md: template consistency + context variable sync rules
- Add locale support to notification templates (matching command template
pattern): TemplateSlot now has locale field with (config_id, slot_name,
locale) uniqueness, nested API format {slot: {locale: template}}
- Migration merges separate EN/RU system configs into unified per-provider
configs; seeds create one config per provider with multi-locale slots
- Locale-aware dispatch with EN fallback in NotificationDispatcher
- Frontend locale tabs (EN/RU) on template config editor
- Fix tracking config cards not showing default provider icons
- Global provider filter, search palette, and various UX polish
Video size warnings:
- Add file_size field to ImmichAssetInfo from exifInfo.fileSizeInByte
- Expose per-target max_video_size (50 MB for Telegram, none for others)
- Compute has_oversized_videos and per-asset oversized flag in template context
- Default templates show warning only when videos actually exceed the limit
- Templates no longer hardcode Telegram-specific logic
Template autocomplete:
- New jinja-autocomplete.ts engine with contextual completions
- Top-level variables ({{ }}), asset/album fields (dot access in loops),
Jinja2 filters (|), block tags ({% %}), and loop.* special vars
- JinjaEditor accepts optional variables prop via CodeMirror Compartment
- Wired into template-configs and command-template-configs pages
Also: fix template emoji (📷 → 📎) and sync sample_context with new vars.
- Added desc text to all 40+ grid items (EN + RU)
- compact prop on all IconGridSelect in compact form sections
- Fixed compact width to fill grid cells (removed width:auto)
- Replaced <select> filter dropdowns with IconGridSelect on config pages
- Replaced <select> provider filters with EntitySelect on tracker pages
- Dashboard filters constrained to fixed widths (not full row)
- Added filtering to command-template-configs and providers pages
- providerTypeFilterItems() with "All" option for filter contexts
- Locale-aware templates: CommandTemplateSlot now has a locale column,
allowing each slot to have per-language variants (EN/RU). Templates
are resolved at runtime from the Telegram user's language_code.
- Merged system configs: "Default Commands (EN)" and "(RU)" merged
into a single "Default Commands" config with locale-aware slots.
Migration handles existing data automatically.
- Configurable command descriptions: hardcoded COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS
replaced with desc_* template slots (desc_status, desc_help, etc.)
that users can customize per locale. setMyCommands registers all
locales explicitly.
- Removed locale from CommandConfig: no longer needed since locale
is derived from the Telegram user's language at runtime.
- Debounced command auto-sync: after command config/tracker changes,
affected bots are marked dirty and synced after a 30s debounce
window. Manual "Sync with Telegram" button still works.
- Entity pickers in LinkedTargetsSection: replaced 6 plain <select>
elements with EntitySelect components (search, icons, keyboard nav).
Added onselect callback and size="sm" props to EntitySelect.
- Tracking Configs: add provider type field (was missing entirely)
- All 4 config pages: provider type uses IconGridSelect during creation,
shown as read-only text during editing (provider type is immutable)
- Pages: tracking-configs, command-configs, template-configs,
command-template-configs
When clicking a CrossLink, the target entity ID is passed as
?highlight=<id> in the URL. The destination page:
1. Shows a semi-transparent dim overlay (z-index: 10)
2. Finds the card with data-entity-id matching the ID
3. Scrolls to it smoothly (block: center)
4. Applies a pulsing primary-color box-shadow animation (z-index: 11)
5. Cleans up overlay + animation after 2 seconds
If the card isn't in DOM yet (data still loading), a MutationObserver
waits up to 5 seconds for it to appear.
Changes:
- New highlight.ts utility with highlightFromUrl(), MutationObserver,
dim overlay management
- Card component accepts entityId prop → data-entity-id attribute
- CrossLink accepts entityId prop → appends ?highlight=<id> to href
- All 9 entity pages: Card elements have entityId, highlightFromUrl()
called after data loads
- CSS: cardHighlight keyframe animation + nav-dim-overlay styles
- Add $state-based entity cache layer with 30s TTL, request deduplication,
and local mutation helpers (entity-cache.svelte.ts + caches.svelte.ts)
- Wire all 10 page components to use shared caches for cross-page data
- Add slide animation for nav tree expand/collapse with rotating chevron
- Remove aggregate count badges from container nav nodes (keep on leaves)
- Convert Targets from flat leaf to group with per-type children
(Telegram, Webhook, Email, Discord, Slack, ntfy, Matrix)
- Add URL-based type filtering on Targets page with per-type descriptions
- Add Bots group children for Email and Matrix alongside Telegram
- Tab-based routing for bots page (?tab=telegram/email/matrix)
- Add per-type target counts and email/matrix bot counts to /status/counts
- Split CLAUDE.md into focused context files under .claude/docs/
- Fix .gitignore: scope lib/ to root, allow .claude/docs/ tracking
- Clear all caches on logout
- Reset form state when switching target type tabs
- Discord, Slack, ntfy, Matrix notification target types with clients and dispatch
- MatrixBot model + API + frontend in Bots tab
- Command template system fully wired into all handler commands
- Default command templates seeded (EN/RU, 14 slots each)
- Command template editor with variables reference including child fields
- Delete protection on all 10 entity types (409 with consumer details)
- Provider type selector on template config forms
- Target type selector as dropdown with all 7 types
- Response template selector on command config form
- CLAUDE.md: mandatory server restart rule, child properties rule
