Gateway Rollout

Use this playbook when each service channel already works on its own and the next job is giving one host explicit runtime ownership. This page is not a shortcut around the earlier steps. It assumes:
  • the base CLI path already works
  • each selected runtime-backed surface already survived its own serve loop
  • named accounts already exist for any channel family that needs selectors

​
What This Playbook Covers

Covered hereNot covered here
gateway run, gateway status, and gateway stopprovider first-run setup
multi-channel-serve as the foreground compatibility wrappersingle-channel smoke tests from zero
selector syntax such as lark=work or wecom=alertsoutbound-only surfaces pretending to join the same reply-loop owner

​
Use A Different Playbook If

If you actually need…Go here instead
one hosted provider plus a Feishu or Lark room from near-zeroVolcengine Plus Feishu Or Lark
WeCom as the main enterprise lane from near-zeroWeCom Rollout
BytePlus Coding plus one Telegram bot from near-zeroBytePlus Coding Plus Telegram

​
Step 1: Confirm The Precondition

Before introducing gateway ownership, each service channel should already work with its own foreground loop. Shortest preflight loop: 
loong doctor
loong channels
If ownership is already unclear from another shell: 
loong gateway status --json

​
Step 2: Make Account Ids Explicit

Example config shape: 
[feishu]
enabled = true
mode = "websocket"
default_account = "work"

[feishu.accounts.work]
domain = "lark"
app_id = { env = "LARK_WORK_APP_ID" }
app_secret = { env = "LARK_WORK_APP_SECRET" }
allowed_chat_ids = ["oc_ops_room"]

[telegram]
enabled = true
default_account = "bot_123456"

[telegram.accounts.bot_123456]
bot_token = { env = "TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN" }
allowed_chat_ids = [123456789]

[wecom]
enabled = true
default_account = "alerts"

[wecom.accounts.alerts]
bot_id = { env = "WECOM_ALERTS_BOT_ID" }
secret = { env = "WECOM_ALERTS_SECRET" }
allowed_conversation_ids = ["group_alerts"]
Why this step exists:
  • selectors are meant to point at accounts.<id>
  • default_account keeps the fallback lane explicit
  • rewriting one top-level secret block is the wrong preparation for gateway ownership

​
Step 3: Choose Foreground Or Persisted Ownership

Foreground compatibility wrapper: 
loong multi-channel-serve \
  --session cli-supervisor \
  --channel-account lark=work \
  --channel-account telegram=bot_123456 \
  --channel-account wecom=alerts
Persisted owner contract: 
loong gateway run \
  --session daemon-gateway \
  --channel-account lark=work \
  --channel-account telegram=bot_123456 \
  --channel-account wecom=alerts
How to choose:
NeedBetter command
one visible foreground shell while rolling outmulti-channel-serve
one persisted owner that another process can inspect or stopgateway run

​
Step 4: Control And Inspect Ownership

loong gateway status
loong gateway status --json
loong gateway stop
Use status --json whenever another process or operator needs the shortest machine-readable view of the current owner state.

​
Common Failure Modes

SymptomWhat to check
startup fails immediately on a selectorthe selector must be CHANNEL=ACCOUNT, and the account id must exist
two selectors target the same familyone channel family can only appear once in the selector list
an outbound-only surface is expected to join the gatewaythat surface does not belong in this runtime-backed owner model
single-channel serve never worked, but gateway rollout started anywaygo back and validate each service channel in isolation first
