Power monitoring uses Apple's IOReport Energy Model to read GPU, CPU, ANE and DRAM power consumption — no sudo required. See Methodology for validation details.

Alert webhooks

When --alert-webhook URL is provided, asiai will POST a JSON alert to the webhook URL whenever a state transition is detected:

Alert type	Trigger	Severity
mem_pressure_warn	Memory pressure: normal → warn	warning
mem_pressure_critical	Memory pressure: normal/warn → critical	critical
thermal_degraded	Thermal level: nominal → fair/serious/critical	warning/critical
engine_down	Engine was reachable, now unreachable	critical

Alerts use a 5-minute cooldown per type to prevent spam. Each alert is stored in SQLite for history.
