feat(quick): stop or snooze a ringing alarm by saying so - #400
Conversation
While a Sentient alarm rings, "stop", "stop the alarm", "turn it off", "snooze" or "snooze for 5 minutes" in a chat, by voice or in a messaging app is a quick command with no model call. Snooze is 9 minutes, chat.alarm_snooze_minutes, or the minutes said. With nothing ringing the words go to the model as before (they may mean a house alarm, #175). The engine now knows which alarm rings (3 minutes after it goes off, until stopped or snoozed); the banner gets a Snooze button, tells the engine about Stop, and follows stops and snoozes made anywhere else. Closes #390.

Do not treat an explicit zero-minute snooze as a missing duration. The client drops 0, and the supplied REST route replaces 0 with the configured default. Both paths can snooze an alarm when the documented contract requires a 400 response.

Summary
While a Sentient alarm rings, "stop", "stop the alarm", "turn it off", "I'm up", "snooze", "snooze for 5 minutes" or "5 more minutes" (chat, voice, Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp) is a quick command with no model call. Snooze is 9 minutes, the new Snooze length setting (
chat.alarm_snooze_minutes), or what was said. With nothing ringing, the words go to the model as before (#175).The ring state used to live only in the window, so the engine now tracks it too:
reminders.stopped_atcolumn, plussnoozed_fromon the alarm a snooze creates.ReminderService.ringing() / stop() / snooze(), toolsstop_alarm(label)andsnooze_alarm(minutes)(internal, write), andPOST /api/reminders/{id}/stop|snooze.reminder.updated: a snooze from anywhere turns it into "Snoozed until 6:42 PM" with Turn off and Hide, and a stop from anywhere hides it.run_turn, so this needed no channel code. There's a Telegram test for it.sequenceDiagram participant U as User (chat/voice/Telegram) participant E as Engine participant W as Window banner E->>W: notification.new (alarm) -> rings U->>E: "snooze" E->>E: quick plan -> snooze_alarm(9), no model E->>W: reminder.updated (new alarm, snoozed_from) E->>W: reminder.updated (old alarm, stopped_at) W->>W: "Snoozed until ..."Evidence

The tool says it isn't for a house alarm, and its error names Sentient, so a model with Home Assistant can still move on to the house alarm (#175). Inside the 3-minute ring window, a bare "stop" or "cancel" in any chat stops the alarm instead of reaching the model.Summary by CodeRabbit
