 # bird
 
-Use `bird` to read/search X and post tweets/replies.
+## Reading vs Writing - Different Tools
 
-Quick start
-- `bird whoami`
-- `bird read <url-or-id>`
-- `bird thread <url-or-id>`
-- `bird search "query" -n 5`
+**For READING tweets** (works great):
+- Use the `bird` CLI - it's fast and reliable
+- `bird read <url-or-id>` - grab a specific tweet
+- `bird search "query" -n 5` - search tweets
+- `bird mentions` - check notifications
 
-Posting (confirm with user first)
-- `bird tweet "text"`
-- `bird reply <id-or-url> "text"`
+**For WRITING tweets** (here's where it gets spicy):
+- **Don't use the CLI for posting** - Twitter flags it as automated and you'll get rate limited or soft-banned fast
+- **Use the browser tool instead** - mimics real human behavior
 
-Auth sources
-- Browser cookies (default: Firefox/Chrome)
-- Sweetistics API: set `SWEETISTICS_API_KEY` or use `--engine sweetistics`
-- Check sources: `bird check`
+## Quick Reference (Reading Only)
+
+```bash
+bird whoami           # Check auth status
+bird read <url-or-id> # Read a specific tweet
+bird thread <url-or-id> # Read full thread
+bird search "query" -n 5 # Search tweets
+bird mentions         # Check notifications
+```
+
+## The React Input Problem
+
+Twitter's compose box is a React controlled input. You can't just set `.value` like a normal input - React ignores it. The workaround:
+
+**Simulate a paste event:**
+```javascript
+// 1. Focus the editor
+var editor = document.querySelector('[data-testid="tweetTextarea_0"]');
+editor.focus();
+
+// 2. Create a fake paste event (this triggers React's state update)
+var dataTransfer = new DataTransfer();
+dataTransfer.setData('text/plain', 'your tweet text here');
+var pasteEvent = new ClipboardEvent('paste', {
+  clipboardData: dataTransfer,
+  bubbles: true,
+  cancelable: true
+});
+editor.dispatchEvent(pasteEvent);
+
+// 3. Click the post button
+document.querySelector('[data-testid="tweetButtonInline"]').click();
+```
+
+## Browser Setup Notes
+
+- Use a dedicated browser profile (e.g. "clawd") so you're logged in persistently
+- The cookie config lives at `~/.config/bird/config.json5` for the CLI
+- If CDP fails, kill Chrome completely (`pkill -9 "Google Chrome"`) and restart with `browser action=start`
+
+## Rate Limiting & Detection
+
+- Space out your posts - don't rapid-fire
+- Vary your timing slightly (don't post at exactly :00 every hour)
+- If you get flagged, the account might need a CAPTCHA solve manually
+- Reading is basically unlimited, posting is where they watch you
+
+## Selectors That Work (as of late 2025)
+
+- Tweet compose box: `[data-testid="tweetTextarea_0"]`
+- Post button: `[data-testid="tweetButtonInline"]`
+- These change occasionally so if stuff breaks, inspect the page
+
+---
+
+**TL;DR: read with CLI, write with browser + paste hack.** 🐦

 - General topic (thread id `1`) is special: message sends omit `message_thread_id` (Telegram rejects it), but typing indicators still include it.
 - Exposes `MessageThreadId` + `IsForum` in template context for routing/templating.
 - Topic-specific configuration is available under `channels.telegram.groups.<chatId>.topics.<threadId>` (skills, allowlists, auto-reply, system prompts, disable).
+- Topic configs inherit group settings (requireMention, allowlists, skills, prompts, enabled) unless overridden per topic.
 
 Private chats can include `message_thread_id` in some edge cases. Clawdbot keeps the DM session key unchanged, but still uses the thread id for replies/draft streaming when it is present.

+---
+# Github Copilot
+
+Use GitHub Copilot as a model provider (`github-copilot`). The login command runs
+the GitHub device flow, saves an auth profile, and updates your config to use that
+profile.
+
+## CLI setup
+
+```bash
+clawdbot models auth login-github-copilot
+```
+
+You'll be prompted to visit a URL and enter a one-time code. Keep the terminal
+open until it completes.
+
+### Optional flags
+
+```bash
+clawdbot models auth login-github-copilot --profile-id github-copilot:work
+clawdbot models auth login-github-copilot --yes
+```
+
+## Set a default model
+
+```bash
+clawdbot models set github-copilot/gpt-4o
+```
+
+### Config snippet
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "github-copilot/gpt-4o" } } }
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Requires an interactive TTY; run it directly in a terminal.
+- Copilot model availability depends on your plan; if a model is rejected, try
+  another ID (for example `github-copilot/gpt-4.1`).
+- The login stores a GitHub token in the auth profile store and exchanges it for a
+  Copilot API token when Clawdbot runs.

 # Web tools
 
 Clawdbot ships two lightweight web tools:
 
-- `web_search` — Brave Search API queries (fast, structured results).
+- `web_search` — Search the web via Brave Search API (default) or Perplexity Sonar (via OpenRouter).
 - `web_fetch` — HTTP fetch + readable extraction (HTML → markdown/text).

 ## How it works
 
-- `web_search` calls Brave’s Search API and returns structured results
-  (title, URL, snippet). No browser is involved.
+- `web_search` calls your configured provider and returns results.
+  - **Brave** (default): returns structured results (title, URL, snippet).
+  - **Perplexity**: returns AI-synthesized answers with citations from real-time web search.
 - Results are cached by query for 15 minutes (configurable).
 - `web_fetch` does a plain HTTP GET and extracts readable content
   (HTML → markdown/text). It does **not** execute JavaScript.
 - `web_fetch` is enabled by default (unless explicitly disabled).
 
+## Choosing a search provider
+
+| Provider | Pros | Cons | API Key |
+|----------|------|------|---------|
+| **Brave** (default) | Fast, structured results, free tier | Traditional search results | `BRAVE_API_KEY` |
+| **Perplexity** | AI-synthesized answers, citations, real-time | Requires OpenRouter credits | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` or `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` |
+
+Set the provider in config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: {
+    web: {

+## Using Perplexity (via OpenRouter)
+
+Perplexity Sonar models have built-in web search capabilities and return AI-synthesized
+answers with citations. You can use them via OpenRouter (no credit card required - supports
+crypto/prepaid).
+
+### Getting an OpenRouter API key
+
+1) Create an account at https://openrouter.ai/
+2) Add credits (supports crypto, prepaid, or credit card)
+3) Generate an API key in your account settings
+
+### Setting up Perplexity search

+### Available Perplexity models
+
+| Model | Description | Best for |
+|-------|-------------|----------|
+| `perplexity/sonar` | Fast Q&A with web search | Quick lookups |

 ## web_search
 
-Search the web with Brave’s API.
+Search the web using your configured provider.
 
 ### Requirements
 
 - `tools.web.search.enabled` must not be `false` (default: enabled)
-- Brave API key (recommended: `clawdbot configure --section web`, or set `BRAVE_API_KEY`)
+- API key for your chosen provider:

 - Freshness: watcher on `MEMORY.md` + `memory/` marks the index dirty (debounce 1.5s). Sync runs on session start, on first search when dirty, and optionally on an interval. Reindex triggers when embedding model/provider or chunk sizes change.
+- Model changes: the index stores the embedding **model + provider + chunking params**. If any of those change, Clawdbot automatically resets and reindexes the entire store.

+summary: "Use Qwen Portal OAuth (free tier) in Clawdbot"
+read_when:
+  - You want to use Qwen Portal with Clawdbot
+  - You want free-tier OAuth access to Qwen Coder
+---
+# Qwen Portal
+
+Qwen Portal provides a free-tier OAuth flow for Qwen Coder and Qwen Vision models
+(2,000 requests/day, subject to Qwen rate limits).
+
+## Enable the plugin
+
+```bash
+clawdbot plugins enable qwen-portal-auth
+```
+
+Restart the Gateway after enabling.
+
+## Authenticate
+
+```bash
+clawdbot models auth login --provider qwen-portal --set-default
+```
+
+This runs the Qwen device-code OAuth flow and writes a provider entry to your
+`models.json` (plus a `qwen` alias for quick switching).
+
+## Model IDs
+
+- `qwen-portal/coder-model`
+- `qwen-portal/vision-model`
+
+Switch models with:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot models set qwen-portal/coder-model
+```
+
+## Reuse Qwen Code CLI login
+
+If you already logged in with the Qwen Code CLI, Clawdbot will sync credentials
+from `~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json` when it loads the auth store. You still need a
+`models.providers.qwen-portal` entry (use the login command above to create one).
+
+## Notes
+
+- Tokens expire periodically; re-run the login command when requests fail.
+- Default base URL: `https://portal.qwen.ai/v1` (override with
+  `models.providers.qwen-portal.baseUrl` if Qwen provides a different endpoint).
+- See [Model providers](/concepts/model-providers) for provider-wide rules.

 - Tools: allow `sessions_spawn` to override thinking level for sub-agent runs.
 - Channels: unify thread/topic allowlist matching + command/mention gating helpers across core providers.
 - Models: add Qwen Portal OAuth provider support. (#1120) — thanks @mukhtharcm.
+- Memory: add `--verbose` logging for memory status + batch indexing details.
+- Memory: allow parallel OpenAI batch indexing jobs (default concurrency: 2).
 
 ### Fixes
 - Memory: apply OpenAI batch defaults even without explicit remote config.

 Batch indexing (OpenAI only):
 - Enabled by default for OpenAI embeddings. Set `agents.defaults.memorySearch.remote.batch.enabled = false` to disable.
 - Default behavior waits for batch completion; tune `remote.batch.wait`, `remote.batch.pollIntervalMs`, and `remote.batch.timeoutMinutes` if needed.
+- Set `remote.batch.concurrency` to control how many batch jobs we submit in parallel (default: 2).
 - Batch mode currently applies only when `memorySearch.provider = "openai"` and uses your OpenAI API key.
 
+Why OpenAI batch is fast + cheap:
+- For large backfills, OpenAI is typically the fastest option we support because we can submit many embedding requests in a single batch job and let OpenAI process them asynchronously.
+- OpenAI offers discounted pricing for Batch API workloads, so large indexing runs are usually cheaper than sending the same requests synchronously.
+- See the OpenAI Batch API docs and pricing for details:

Subject: [PATCH 052/240] fix(agent): Enable model fallback for prompt-phase
 quota/rate limit errors

When a prompt submission fails with quota or rate limit errors, throw
FailoverError instead of the raw promptError. This enables the model
fallback system to try alternative models.

Previously, rate limit errors during the prompt phase (before streaming)
were thrown directly, bypassing fallback. Only response-phase errors
triggered model fallback.

Now checks if fallback models are configured and the error is failover-
eligible. If so, wraps in FailoverError to trigger the fallback chain.

+summary: "Exec approvals, allowlists, and sandbox escape prompts in the macOS app"
+read_when:
+  - Configuring exec approvals or allowlists
+  - Implementing exec approval UX in the macOS app
+  - Reviewing sandbox escape prompts and implications
+---
+
+# Exec approvals (macOS app)
+
+Exec approvals are the **macOS companion app** guardrail for running host
+commands from sandboxed agents. Think of it as a per-agent “run this on my Mac”
+approval layer: the agent asks, the app decides, and the command runs (or not).
+This is **in addition** to tool policy and elevated gating; all of those checks
+must pass before a command can run.
+
+If you are **not** running the macOS companion app, exec approvals are
+unavailable and `system.run` requests will be rejected with a message that a
+companion app is required.
+
+## Settings
+
+In the macOS app, each agent has an **Exec approvals** setting:
+
+- **Deny**: block all host exec requests from the agent.
+- **Always ask**: show a confirmation dialog for each host exec request.
+- **Always allow**: run host exec requests without prompting.
+
+Optional toggles:
+- **Auto-allow skill CLIs**: when enabled, CLIs referenced by known skills are
+  treated as allowlisted (see below).
+
+## Allowlist (per agent)
+
+The allowlist is **per agent**. If multiple agents exist, you can switch which
+agent’s allowlist you’re editing. Entries are path-based and support **globs**.
+
+Examples:
+- `~/Projects/**/bin/bird`
+- `~/.local/bin/*`
+- `/opt/homebrew/bin/rg`
+
+Each allowlist entry tracks:
+- **last used** (timestamp)
+- **last used command**
+- **last used path** (resolved absolute path)
+- **last seen metadata** (hash/version/mtime when available)
+
+## How matching works
+
+1) Parse the command to determine the executable (first token).
+2) Resolve the executable to an absolute path using `PATH`.
+3) Match against denylist (if present) → **deny**.
+4) Match against allowlist → **allow**.
+5) Otherwise follow the Exec approvals policy (deny/ask/allow).
+
+If **auto-allow skill CLIs** is enabled, each installed skill can contribute one
+or more allowlist entries. A skill-based allowlist entry only auto-allows when:
+- the resolved path matches, and
+- the binary hash/version matches the last approved record (if tracked).
+
+If the binary changes (new hash/version), the command falls back to **Ask** so
+the user can re-approve.
+
+## Approval flow
+
+When the policy is **Always ask** (or when a binary has changed), the macOS app
+shows a confirmation dialog. The dialog should include:
+- command + args
+- cwd
+- environment overrides (diff)
+- policy + rule that matched (if any)
+
+Actions:
+- **Allow once** → run now
+- **Always allow** → add/update allowlist entry + run
+- **Deny** → block
+
+When approved, the command runs **in the background** and the agent receives
+system events as it starts and completes.
+
+## System events
+
+The agent receives system messages for observability and recovery:
+
+- `exec.started` — command accepted and launched
+- `exec.finished` — command completed (exit code + output)
+- `exec.denied` — command blocked (policy or denylist)
+
+These are **system messages**; no extra agent tool call is required to resume.
+
+## Implications
+
+- **Always allow** is powerful: the agent can run any host command without a
+  prompt. Prefer allowlisting trusted CLIs instead.
+- **Ask** keeps you in the loop while still allowing fast approvals.
+- Per-agent allowlists prevent one agent’s approval set from leaking into others.
+
+## Storage
+
+Allowlists and approval settings are stored **locally in the macOS app** (SQLite
+is a good fit). The Markdown docs describe behavior; they are not the storage
+mechanism.

+# Brave Search API
+
+Clawdbot uses Brave Search as the default provider for `web_search`.
+
+## Get an API key
+
+1) Create a Brave Search API account at https://brave.com/search/api/
+2) In the dashboard, choose the **Data for Search** plan and generate an API key.
+3) Store the key in config (recommended) or set `BRAVE_API_KEY` in the Gateway environment.
+
+## Config example
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: {
+    web: {
+      search: {
+        provider: "brave",
+        apiKey: "BRAVE_API_KEY_HERE",
+        maxResults: 5,
+        timeoutSeconds: 30
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- The Data for AI plan is **not** compatible with `web_search`.
+- Brave provides a free tier plus paid plans; check the Brave API portal for current limits.
+
+See [Web tools](/tools/web) for the full web_search configuration.

+---
+
+# Perplexity Sonar
+
+Clawdbot can use Perplexity Sonar for the `web_search` tool. You can connect
+through Perplexity’s direct API or via OpenRouter.
+
+## API options
+
+### Perplexity (direct)
+
+- Base URL: https://api.perplexity.ai
+- Environment variable: `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`
+
+### OpenRouter (alternative)
+
+- Base URL: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
+- Environment variable: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`
+- Supports prepaid/crypto credits.
+
+## Config example
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: {
+    web: {
+      search: {
+        provider: "perplexity",
+        perplexity: {
+          apiKey: "pplx-...",
+          baseUrl: "https://api.perplexity.ai",
+          model: "perplexity/sonar-pro"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Switching from Brave
+
+```json5
+{
+  tools: {
+    web: {
+      search: {
+        provider: "perplexity",
+        perplexity: {

+          baseUrl: "https://api.perplexity.ai"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If both `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` and `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` are set, set
+`tools.web.search.perplexity.baseUrl` (or `tools.web.search.perplexity.apiKey`)
+to disambiguate.
+
+If `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` is used from the environment and no base URL is set,
+Clawdbot defaults to the direct Perplexity endpoint. Set `baseUrl` to override.
+
+## Models
+
+- `perplexity/sonar` — fast Q&A with web search
+- `perplexity/sonar-pro` (default) — multi-step reasoning + web search
+- `perplexity/sonar-reasoning-pro` — deep research
+
+See [Web tools](/tools/web) for the full web_search configuration.

-- Index storage: per-agent SQLite at `~/.clawdbot/state/memory/<agentId>.sqlite` (configurable via `agents.defaults.memorySearch.store.path`, supports `{agentId}` token).
-- Freshness: watcher on `MEMORY.md` + `memory/` marks the index dirty (debounce 1.5s). Sync runs on session start, on first search when dirty, and optionally on an interval. Reindex triggers when embedding model/provider or chunk sizes change.
-- Model changes: the index stores the embedding **model + provider + chunking params**. If any of those change, Clawdbot automatically resets and reindexes the entire store.

+### Embedding cache
+
+Clawdbot can cache **chunk embeddings** in SQLite so reindexing and frequent updates (especially session transcripts) don't re-embed unchanged text.
+
+Config:
+
+```json5
+agents: {
+  defaults: {
+    memorySearch: {
+      cache: {
+        enabled: true,
+        maxEntries: 50000

 - Freshness: watcher on `MEMORY.md` + `memory/` marks the index dirty (debounce 1.5s). Sync runs on session start, on first search when dirty, and optionally on an interval.
 - Reindex triggers: the index stores the embedding **provider/model + endpoint fingerprint + chunking params**. If any of those change, Clawdbot automatically resets and reindexes the entire store.
 
+### Hybrid search (BM25 + vector)
+
+When enabled, Clawdbot combines:
+- **Vector similarity** (semantic match, wording can differ)
+- **BM25 keyword relevance** (exact tokens like IDs, env vars, code symbols)
+
+If full-text search is unavailable on your platform, Clawdbot falls back to vector-only search.

+```json5
+agents: {
+  defaults: {
+    memorySearch: {

+        hybrid: {

+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
 ### Embedding cache
 
 Clawdbot can cache **chunk embeddings** in SQLite so reindexing and frequent updates (especially session transcripts) don't re-embed unchanged text.

 ### Changes
 - Memory: add OpenAI Batch API indexing for embeddings when configured.
 - Memory: enable OpenAI batch indexing by default for OpenAI embeddings.
+- Sessions: persist origin metadata across connectors for generic session explainers.
 
 ### Fixes
 - Memory: retry transient 5xx errors (Cloudflare) during embedding indexing.

+Each session entry records where it came from (best-effort) in `origin`:
+- `label`: human label (resolved from conversation label + group subject/channel)
+- `provider`: normalized channel id (including extensions)
+- `from`/`to`: raw routing ids from the inbound envelope

+summary: "Plan: one clean plugin SDK + runtime for all messaging connectors"
+read_when:
+  - Defining or refactoring the plugin architecture
+  - Migrating channel connectors to the plugin SDK/runtime
+---
+# Plugin SDK + Runtime Refactor Plan
+
+Goal: every messaging connector is a plugin (bundled or external) using one stable API.
+No plugin imports from `src/**` directly. All dependencies go through the SDK or runtime.
+
+## Why now
+- Current connectors mix patterns: direct core imports, dist-only bridges, and custom helpers.
+- This makes upgrades brittle and blocks a clean external plugin surface.
+
+## Target architecture (two layers)
+
+### 1) Plugin SDK (compile-time, stable, publishable)
+Scope: types, helpers, and config utilities. No runtime state, no side effects.
+
+Contents (examples):
+- Types: `ChannelPlugin`, adapters, `ChannelMeta`, `ChannelCapabilities`, `ChannelDirectoryEntry`.
+- Config helpers: `buildChannelConfigSchema`, `setAccountEnabledInConfigSection`, `deleteAccountFromConfigSection`,
+  `applyAccountNameToChannelSection`.
+- Pairing helpers: `PAIRING_APPROVED_MESSAGE`, `formatPairingApproveHint`.
+- Onboarding helpers: `promptChannelAccessConfig`, `addWildcardAllowFrom`, onboarding types.
+- Tool param helpers: `createActionGate`, `readStringParam`, `readNumberParam`, `readReactionParams`, `jsonResult`.
+- Docs link helper: `formatDocsLink`.
+
+Delivery:
+- Publish as `@clawdbot/plugin-sdk` (or export from core under `clawdbot/plugin-sdk`).
+- Semver with explicit stability guarantees.
+
+### 2) Plugin Runtime (execution surface, injected)
+Scope: everything that touches core runtime behavior.
+Accessed via `ClawdbotPluginApi.runtime` so plugins never import `src/**`.
+
+Proposed surface (minimal but complete):
+```ts
+export type PluginRuntime = {
+  channel: {
+    text: {
+      chunkMarkdownText(text: string, limit: number): string[];
+      resolveTextChunkLimit(cfg: ClawdbotConfig, channel: string, accountId?: string): number;
+      hasControlCommand(text: string, cfg: ClawdbotConfig): boolean;
+    };
+    reply: {
+      dispatchReplyWithBufferedBlockDispatcher(params: {
+        ctx: unknown;
+        cfg: unknown;
+        dispatcherOptions: {
+          deliver: (payload: { text?: string; mediaUrls?: string[]; mediaUrl?: string }) =>
+            void | Promise<void>;
+          onError?: (err: unknown, info: { kind: string }) => void;
+        };
+      }): Promise<void>;
+      createReplyDispatcherWithTyping?: unknown; // adapter for Teams-style flows
+    };
+    routing: {
+      resolveAgentRoute(params: {
+        cfg: unknown;
+        channel: string;
+        accountId: string;
+        peer: { kind: "dm" | "group" | "channel"; id: string };
+      }): { sessionKey: string; accountId: string };
+    };
+    pairing: {
+      buildPairingReply(params: { channel: string; idLine: string; code: string }): string;
+      readAllowFromStore(channel: string): Promise<string[]>;
+      upsertPairingRequest(params: {
+        channel: string;
+        id: string;
+        meta?: { name?: string };
+      }): Promise<{ code: string; created: boolean }>;
+    };
+    media: {
+      fetchRemoteMedia(params: { url: string }): Promise<{ buffer: Buffer; contentType?: string }>;
+      saveMediaBuffer(
+        buffer: Uint8Array,
+        contentType: string | undefined,
+        direction: "inbound" | "outbound",
+        maxBytes: number,
+      ): Promise<{ path: string; contentType?: string }>;
+    };
+    mentions: {
+      buildMentionRegexes(cfg: ClawdbotConfig, agentId?: string): RegExp[];
+      matchesMentionPatterns(text: string, regexes: RegExp[]): boolean;
+    };
+    groups: {
+      resolveGroupPolicy(cfg: ClawdbotConfig, channel: string, accountId: string, groupId: string): {
+        allowlistEnabled: boolean;
+        allowed: boolean;
+        groupConfig?: unknown;
+        defaultConfig?: unknown;
+      };
+      resolveRequireMention(
+        cfg: ClawdbotConfig,
+        channel: string,
+        accountId: string,
+        groupId: string,
+        override?: boolean,
+      ): boolean;
+    };
+    debounce: {
+      createInboundDebouncer<T>(opts: {
+        debounceMs: number;
+        buildKey: (v: T) => string | null;
+        shouldDebounce: (v: T) => boolean;
+        onFlush: (entries: T[]) => Promise<void>;
+        onError?: (err: unknown) => void;
+      }): { push: (v: T) => void; flush: () => Promise<void> };
+      resolveInboundDebounceMs(cfg: ClawdbotConfig, channel: string): number;
+    };
+    commands: {
+      resolveCommandAuthorizedFromAuthorizers(params: {
+        useAccessGroups: boolean;
+        authorizers: Array<{ configured: boolean; allowed: boolean }>;
+      }): boolean;
+    };
+  };
+  logging: {
+    shouldLogVerbose(): boolean;
+    getChildLogger(name: string): PluginLogger;
+  };
+  state: {
+    resolveStateDir(cfg: ClawdbotConfig): string;
+  };
+};
+```
+
+Notes:
+- Runtime is the only way to access core behavior.
+- SDK is intentionally small and stable.
+- Each runtime method maps to an existing core implementation (no duplication).
+
+## Migration plan (phased, safe)
+
+### Phase 0: scaffolding
+- Introduce `@clawdbot/plugin-sdk`.
+- Add `api.runtime` to `ClawdbotPluginApi` with the surface above.
+- Maintain existing imports during a transition window (deprecation warnings).
+
+### Phase 1: bridge cleanup (low risk)
+- Replace per-extension `core-bridge.ts` with `api.runtime`.
+- Migrate BlueBubbles, Zalo, Zalo Personal first (already close).
+- Remove duplicated bridge code.
+
+### Phase 2: light direct-import plugins
+- Migrate Matrix to SDK + runtime.
+- Validate onboarding, directory, group mention logic.
+
+### Phase 3: heavy direct-import plugins
+- Migrate MS Teams (largest set of runtime helpers).
+- Ensure reply/typing semantics match current behavior.
+
+### Phase 4: iMessage pluginization
+- Move iMessage into `extensions/imessage`.
+- Replace direct core calls with `api.runtime`.
+- Keep config keys, CLI behavior, and docs intact.
+
+### Phase 5: enforcement
+- Add lint rule / CI check: no `extensions/**` imports from `src/**`.
+- Add plugin SDK/version compatibility checks (runtime + SDK semver).
+
+## Compatibility and versioning
+- SDK: semver, published, documented changes.
+- Runtime: versioned per core release. Add `api.runtime.version`.
+- Plugins declare a required runtime range (e.g., `clawdbotRuntime: ">=2026.2.0"`).
+
+## Testing strategy
+- Adapter-level unit tests (runtime functions exercised with real core implementation).
+- Golden tests per plugin: ensure no behavior drift (routing, pairing, allowlist, mention gating).
+- A single end-to-end plugin sample used in CI (install + run + smoke).
+
+## Open questions
+- Where to host SDK types: separate package or core export?
+- Runtime type distribution: in SDK (types only) or in core?
+- How to expose docs links for bundled vs external plugins?
+- Do we allow limited direct core imports for in-repo plugins during transition?
+
+## Success criteria
+- All channel connectors are plugins using SDK + runtime.
+- No `extensions/**` imports from `src/**`.
+- New connector templates depend only on SDK + runtime.
+- External plugins can be developed and updated without core source access.

+---
+# BlueBubbles (macOS REST)
+
+Status: bundled plugin (disabled by default) that talks to the BlueBubbles macOS server over HTTP.
+
+## Overview
+- Runs on macOS via the BlueBubbles helper app (`https://bluebubbles.app`).
+- Clawdbot talks to it through its REST API (`GET /api/v1/ping`, `POST /message/text`, `POST /chat/:id/*`).
+- Incoming messages arrive via webhooks; outgoing replies, typing indicators, read receipts, and tapbacks are REST calls.
+- Attachments and stickers are ingested as inbound media (and surfaced to the agent when possible).
+- Pairing/allowlist works the same way as other channels (`/start/pairing` etc) with `channels.bluebubbles.allowFrom` + pairing codes.
+- Reactions are surfaced as system events just like Slack/Telegram so agents can “mention” them before replying.
+
+## Quick start
+1. Install the BlueBubbles server on your Mac (follows the app store instructions at `https://bluebubbles.app/install`).
+2. In the BlueBubbles config, enable the web API and set a password for `guid`/`password`.
+3. Configure Clawdbot:
+   ```json5
+   {
+     channels: {
+       bluebubbles: {
+         enabled: true,
+         serverUrl: "http://bluebubbles-host:1234",
+         password: "example-password",
+         webhookPath: "/bluebubbles-webhook",
+         actions: { reactions: true }
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+4. Point BlueBubbles webhooks to your gateway (example: `http://your-gateway-host/bluebubbles-webhook?password=<password>`).
+5. Start the gateway; it will register the webhook handler and start pairing.
+
+## Configuration notes
+- `channels.bluebubbles.serverUrl`: base URL of the BlueBubbles REST API.
+- `channels.bluebubbles.password`: password that BlueBubbles expects on every request (`?password=...` or header).
+- `channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath`: HTTP path the gateway exposes for BlueBubbles webhooks.
+- `channels.bluebubbles.dmPolicy` / `groupPolicy` + `allowFrom`/`groupAllowFrom` behave like other channels; pairing/allowlist info is stored in `/pairing`.
+- `channels.bluebubbles.actions.reactions` toggles whether the gateway enqueues system events for reactions/tapbacks.
+- `channels.bluebubbles.textChunkLimit` overrides the default 4k limit.
+- `channels.bluebubbles.mediaMaxMb` controls the max size of inbound attachments saved for analysis (default 8MB).
+
+## How it works
+- Outbound replies: `sendMessageBlueBubbles` resolves a chat GUID via `/api/v1/chat/query` and posts to `/api/v1/message/text`. Typing (`/api/v1/chat/<guid>/typing`) and read receipts (`/api/v1/chat/<guid>/read`) are sent before/after responses.
+- Webhooks: BlueBubbles POSTs JSON payloads with `type` and `data`. The plugin ignores non-message events (typing indicator, read status) and extracts `chatGuid` from `data.chats[0].guid`.
+- Reactions/tapbacks generate `BlueBubbles reaction added/removed` system events so agents can mention them. Agents can also trigger tapbacks via the `react` action with `messageId`, `emoji`, and a `to`/`chatGuid`.
+- Attachments are downloaded via the REST API and stored in the inbound media cache; text-less messages are converted into `<media:...>` placeholders so the agent knows something was sent.
+
+## Security
+- Webhook requests are authenticated by comparing `guid`/`password` query params or headers against `channels.bluebubbles.password`. Requests from `localhost` are also accepted.
+- Keep the API password and webhook endpoint secret (treat them like credentials).
+- Enable HTTPS + firewall rules on the BlueBubbles server if exposing it outside your LAN.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+- If Voice/typing events stop working, check the BlueBubbles webhook logs and verify the gateway path matches `channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath`.
+- Pairing codes expire after one hour; use `clawdbot pairing list bluebubbles` and `clawdbot pairing approve bluebubbles <code>`.
+- Reactions require the BlueBubbles private API (`POST /api/v1/message/react`); ensure the server version exposes it.
+

+description: Build or update the BlueBubbles external channel plugin for Clawdbot (extension package, REST send/probe, webhook inbound).
+---
+
+# BlueBubbles plugin
+
+Use this skill when working on the BlueBubbles channel plugin.
+
+## Layout
+- Extension package: `extensions/bluebubbles/` (entry: `index.ts`).
+- Channel implementation: `extensions/bluebubbles/src/channel.ts`.
+- Webhook handling: `extensions/bluebubbles/src/monitor.ts` (register via `api.registerHttpHandler`).
+- REST helpers: `extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts` + `extensions/bluebubbles/src/probe.ts`.
+- Runtime bridge: `extensions/bluebubbles/src/runtime.ts` (set via `api.runtime`).
+- Catalog entry for onboarding: `src/channels/plugins/catalog.ts`.
+
+## Internal helpers (use these, not raw API calls)
+- `probeBlueBubbles` in `extensions/bluebubbles/src/probe.ts` for health checks.
+- `sendMessageBlueBubbles` in `extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts` for text delivery.
+- `resolveChatGuidForTarget` in `extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts` for chat lookup.
+- `sendBlueBubblesReaction` in `extensions/bluebubbles/src/reactions.ts` for tapbacks.
+- `sendBlueBubblesTyping` + `markBlueBubblesChatRead` in `extensions/bluebubbles/src/chat.ts`.
+- `downloadBlueBubblesAttachment` in `extensions/bluebubbles/src/attachments.ts` for inbound media.
+- `buildBlueBubblesApiUrl` + `blueBubblesFetchWithTimeout` in `extensions/bluebubbles/src/types.ts` for shared REST plumbing.
+
+## Webhooks
+- BlueBubbles posts JSON to the gateway HTTP server.
+- Normalize sender/chat IDs defensively (payloads vary by version).
+- Skip messages marked as from self.
+- Route into core reply pipeline via the plugin runtime (`api.runtime`) and `clawdbot/plugin-sdk` helpers.
+- For attachments/stickers, use `<media:...>` placeholders when text is empty and attach media paths via `MediaUrl(s)` in the inbound context.
+
+## Config (core)
+- `channels.bluebubbles.serverUrl` (base URL), `channels.bluebubbles.password`, `channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath`.
+- Action gating: `channels.bluebubbles.actions.reactions` (default true).
+
+## Message tool notes
+- **Reactions:** The `react` action requires a `target` (phone number or chat identifier) in addition to `messageId`. Example: `action=react target=+15551234567 messageId=ABC123 emoji=❤️`

 - `from`/`to`: raw routing ids from the inbound envelope
 - `accountId`: provider account id (when multi-account)
 - `threadId`: thread/topic id when the channel supports it
+The origin fields are populated for direct messages, channels, and groups. If a
+connector only updates delivery routing (for example, to keep a DM main session
+fresh), it should still provide inbound context so the session keeps its
+explainer metadata. Extensions can do this by sending `ConversationLabel`,
+`GroupSubject`, `GroupChannel`, `GroupSpace`, and `SenderName` in the inbound
+context and calling `recordSessionMetaFromInbound` (or passing the same context
+to `updateLastRoute`).

 ### Changes
+- Memory: render progress immediately and poll OpenAI batch status more frequently (default 500ms).
 - Plugins: add exclusive plugin slots with a dedicated memory slot selector.
 - Memory: ship core memory tools + CLI as the bundled `memory-core` plugin.
 - Docs: document plugin slots and memory plugin behavior.

+# Canvas Skill
+
+Display HTML content on connected Clawdbot nodes (Mac app, iOS, Android).
+
+## Overview
+
+The canvas tool lets you present web content on any connected node's canvas view. Great for:
+- Displaying games, visualizations, dashboards
+- Showing generated HTML content
+- Interactive demos
+
+## Actions
+
+| Action | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `present` | Show the canvas with optional URL |
+| `hide` | Hide the canvas |
+| `navigate` | Navigate to a new URL |
+| `eval` | Execute JavaScript in the canvas |
+| `snapshot` | Capture screenshot of canvas |
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Create HTML content
+
+Place HTML files in the canvas directory (configured in `canvasHost.root`, typically `~/clawd/canvas/`):
+
+```bash
+# Write your HTML file
+cat > ~/clawd/canvas/my-game.html << 'HTML'
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<head><title>My Game</title></head>
+<body>
+  <h1>Hello Canvas!</h1>
+</body>
+</html>
+HTML
+```
+
+### 2. Find a connected node
+
+List available nodes:
+```bash
+clawdbot nodes list
+```
+
+Look for nodes with canvas capability (Mac/iOS/Android apps).
+
+### 3. Present the content
+
+```
+canvas action:present node:<node-id> target:<url>
+```
+
+**Important:** The canvas host server binds to the Tailscale hostname, not localhost!
+
+**Correct URL format:**
+```
+http://<tailscale-hostname>:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/<filename>.html
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```
+canvas action:present node:mac-63599bc4-b54d-4392-9048-b97abd58343a target:http://peters-mac-studio-1.sheep-coho.ts.net:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/snake.html
+```
+
+### 4. Navigate to different content
+
+```
+canvas action:navigate node:<node-id> url:<new-url>
+```
+
+### 5. Take a screenshot
+
+```
+canvas action:snapshot node:<node-id>
+```
+
+### 6. Hide when done
+
+```
+canvas action:hide node:<node-id>
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+In `~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "canvasHost": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "port": 18793,
+    "root": "/Users/you/clawd/canvas"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### White screen / content not loading
+
+**Problem:** Canvas shows white/blank screen.
+
+**Solution:** The canvas host server binds to Tailscale hostname. Use the full URL:
+```
+http://<tailscale-hostname>:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/<file>.html
+```
+
+NOT:
+```
+http://127.0.0.1:18793/...  ❌
+http://localhost:18793/...  ❌
+```
+
+### "node required" error
+
+**Solution:** Always specify the `node` parameter with a valid node ID from `clawdbot nodes list`.
+
+### "node not connected" error
+
+**Solution:** The specified node is offline. Choose a different node that's currently connected.
+
+### A2UI formats not working
+
+A2UI JSON push formats are WIP. Use HTML files instead.
+
+## Tips
+
+- Keep HTML self-contained (inline CSS/JS) for best results
+- Test your HTML locally first before presenting
+- Use `snapshot` to capture what the canvas is showing
+- The canvas persists until you `hide` it or navigate away
+
+## Example: Quick Game Display
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create game HTML
+cat > ~/clawd/canvas/game.html << 'HTML'
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<head>
+  <title>Quick Game</title>
+  <style>
+    body { background: #1a1a2e; color: #fff; font-family: sans-serif; }
+    h1 { text-align: center; color: #00f3ff; }
+  </style>
+</head>
+<body>
+  <h1>🎮 Game Time!</h1>
+</body>
+</html>
+HTML
+
+# 2. Present it (replace with your node ID and hostname)
+canvas action:present node:mac-xxx target:http://your-hostname:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/game.html
+```

+
+1. **Canvas Host Server**: Serves static HTML/CSS/JS files from `canvasHost.root` directory
+2. **Node Bridge**: Communicates canvas URLs to connected nodes
+3. **Node Apps**: Render the content in a WebView
+
+### Tailscale Integration
+
+The canvas host server binds based on `gateway.bind` setting:
+
+| Bind Mode | Server Binds To | Canvas URL Uses |
+|-----------|-----------------|-----------------|
+| `loopback` | 127.0.0.1 | localhost (local only) |
+| `lan` | LAN interface | LAN IP address |
+| `tailnet` | Tailscale interface | Tailscale hostname |
+| `auto` | Best available | Tailscale > LAN > loopback |
+
+**Key insight:** The `canvasHostHostForBridge` is derived from `bridgeHost`. When bound to Tailscale, nodes receive URLs like:
+```
+http://<tailscale-hostname>:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/<file>.html
+```
+
+This is why localhost URLs don't work - the node receives the Tailscale hostname from the bridge!

+  },
+  "gateway": {

+}
+```
+
+### Live Reload
+
+When `liveReload: true` (default), the canvas host:
+- Watches the root directory for changes (via chokidar)
+- Injects a WebSocket client into HTML files
+- Automatically reloads connected canvases when files change

+Great for development!

+1. Check server bind: `cat ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json | jq '.gateway.bind'`
+2. Check what port canvas is on: `lsof -i :18793`
+3. Test URL directly: `curl http://<hostname>:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/<file>.html`
 
-NOT:
-```
-http://127.0.0.1:18793/...  ❌
-http://localhost:18793/...  ❌
-```
+**Solution:** Use the full hostname matching your bind mode, not localhost.
 
 ### "node required" error
 
-**Solution:** Always specify the `node` parameter with a valid node ID from `clawdbot nodes list`.
+Always specify `node:<node-id>` parameter.
 
 ### "node not connected" error
 
-**Solution:** The specified node is offline. Choose a different node that's currently connected.
+Node is offline. Use `clawdbot nodes list` to find online nodes.
 
-### A2UI formats not working
+### Content not updating
 
-A2UI JSON push formats are WIP. Use HTML files instead.
+If live reload isn't working:
+1. Check `liveReload: true` in config
+2. Ensure file is in the canvas root directory
+3. Check for watcher errors in logs
+
+## URL Path Structure
+
+The canvas host serves from `/__clawdbot__/canvas/` prefix:
+
+```
+http://<host>:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/index.html  → ~/clawd/canvas/index.html
+http://<host>:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/games/snake.html → ~/clawd/canvas/games/snake.html
+```
+
+The `/__clawdbot__/canvas/` prefix is defined by `CANVAS_HOST_PATH` constant.
 
 ## Tips
 
 - Keep HTML self-contained (inline CSS/JS) for best results
-- Test your HTML locally first before presenting
-- Use `snapshot` to capture what the canvas is showing
+- Use the default index.html as a test page (has bridge diagnostics)
 - The canvas persists until you `hide` it or navigate away
-
-## Example: Quick Game Display
-
-```bash
-# 1. Create game HTML
-cat > ~/clawd/canvas/game.html << 'HTML'
-<!DOCTYPE html>
-<html>
-<head>
-  <title>Quick Game</title>
-  <style>
-    body { background: #1a1a2e; color: #fff; font-family: sans-serif; }
-    h1 { text-align: center; color: #00f3ff; }
-  </style>
-</head>
-<body>
-  <h1>🎮 Game Time!</h1>
-</body>
-</html>
-HTML
-
-# 2. Present it (replace with your node ID and hostname)
-canvas action:present node:mac-xxx target:http://your-hostname:18793/__clawdbot__/canvas/game.html
-```
+- Live reload makes development fast - just save and it updates!
+- A2UI JSON push is WIP - use HTML files for now

+read_when:
+  - You want to add a new agent tool in a plugin
+  - You need to make a tool opt-in via allowlists
+---
+# Plugin agent tools
+
+Clawdbot plugins can register agent tools (JSON‑schema functions) that appear in the
+agent tool list. Tools can be **required** (always available) or **optional** (opt‑in).
+
+## Basic tool
+
+```ts
+import { Type } from "@sinclair/typebox";
+
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerTool({
+    name: "my_tool",
+    description: "Do a thing",
+    parameters: Type.Object({
+      input: Type.String(),
+    }),
+    async execute(_id, params) {
+      return { content: [{ type: "text", text: params.input }] };
+    },
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## Optional tool (opt‑in)
+
+Optional tools are **never** auto‑enabled. Users must add them to an agent
+allowlist.
+
+```ts
+export default function (api) {
+  api.registerTool(
+    {
+      name: "workflow_tool",
+      description: "Run a local workflow",
+      parameters: {
+        type: "object",
+        properties: {
+          pipeline: { type: "string" },
+        },
+        required: ["pipeline"],
+      },
+      async execute(_id, params) {
+        return { content: [{ type: "text", text: params.pipeline }] };
+      },
+    },
+    { optional: true },
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Enable optional tools in `agents.list[].tools.allow`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    list: [
+      {
+        id: "main",
+        tools: {
+          allow: [
+            "workflow_tool",  // specific tool name
+            "workflow",       // plugin id (enables all tools from that plugin)
+            "group:plugins"   // all plugin tools
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Rules + tips
+
+- Tool names must **not** clash with core tool names; conflicting tools are skipped.
+- Plugin ids used in allowlists must not clash with core tool names.
+- Prefer `optional: true` for tools that trigger side effects or require extra
+  binaries/credentials.

+summary: "Refactor plan: exec host routing, node approvals, and headless runner"
+read_when:
+  - Designing exec host routing or exec approvals
+  - Implementing node runner + UI IPC
+  - Adding exec host security modes and slash commands
+---
+
+# Exec host refactor plan
+
+## Goals
+- Add `exec.host` + `exec.security` to route execution across **sandbox**, **gateway**, and **node**.
+- Keep defaults **safe**: no cross-host execution unless explicitly enabled.
+- Split execution into a **headless runner service** with optional UI (macOS app) via local IPC.
+- Provide **per-agent** policy, allowlist, ask mode, and node binding.
+- Support **ask modes** that work *with* or *without* allowlists.
+- Cross-platform: Unix socket + token auth (macOS/Linux/Windows parity).
+
+## Non-goals
+- No legacy allowlist migration or legacy schema support.
+- No PTY/streaming for node exec (aggregated output only).
+- No new network layer beyond the existing Bridge + Gateway.
+
+## Decisions (locked)
+- **Config keys:** `exec.host` + `exec.security` (per-agent override allowed).
+- **Elevation:** keep `/elevated` as an alias for gateway full access.
+- **Ask default:** `on-miss`.
+- **Approvals store:** `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json` (JSON, no legacy migration).
+- **Runner:** headless system service; UI app hosts a Unix socket for approvals.
+- **Node identity:** use existing `nodeId`.
+- **Socket auth:** Unix socket + token (cross-platform); split later if needed.
+
+## Key concepts
+### Host
+- `sandbox`: Docker exec (current behavior).
+- `gateway`: exec on gateway host.
+- `node`: exec on node runner via Bridge (`system.run`).
+
+### Security mode
+- `deny`: always block.
+- `allowlist`: allow only matches.
+- `full`: allow everything (equivalent to elevated).
+
+### Ask mode
+- `off`: never ask.
+- `on-miss`: ask only when allowlist does not match.
+- `always`: ask every time.
+
+Ask is **independent** of allowlist; allowlist can be used with `always` or `on-miss`.
+
+### Policy resolution (per exec)
+1) Resolve `exec.host` (tool param → agent override → global default).
+2) Resolve `exec.security` and `exec.ask` (same precedence).
+3) If host is `sandbox`, proceed with local sandbox exec.
+4) If host is `gateway` or `node`, apply security + ask policy on that host.
+
+## Default safety
+- Default `exec.host = sandbox`.
+- Default `exec.security = deny` for `gateway` and `node`.
+- Default `exec.ask = on-miss` (only relevant if security allows).
+- If no node binding is set, **agent may target any node**, but only if policy allows it.
+
+## Config surface
+### Tool parameters
+- `exec.host` (optional): `sandbox | gateway | node`.
+- `exec.security` (optional): `deny | allowlist | full`.
+- `exec.ask` (optional): `off | on-miss | always`.
+- `exec.node` (optional): node id/name to use when `host=node`.
+
+### Config keys (global)
+- `tools.exec.host`
+- `tools.exec.security`
+- `tools.exec.ask`
+- `tools.exec.node` (default node binding)
+
+### Config keys (per agent)
+- `agents.list[].tools.exec.host`
+- `agents.list[].tools.exec.security`
+- `agents.list[].tools.exec.ask`
+- `agents.list[].tools.exec.node`
+
+### Alias
+- `/elevated on` = set `tools.exec.host=gateway`, `tools.exec.security=full` for the agent session.
+- `/elevated off` = restore previous exec settings for the agent session.
+
+## Approvals store (JSON)
+Path: `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json`
+
+Purpose:
+- Local policy + allowlists for the **execution host** (gateway or node runner).
+- Ask fallback when no UI is available.
+- IPC credentials for UI clients.
+
+Proposed schema (v1):
+```json
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "socket": {
+    "path": "~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.sock",
+    "token": "base64-opaque-token"
+  },
+  "defaults": {
+    "security": "deny",
+    "ask": "on-miss",
+    "askFallback": "deny"
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "agent-id-1": {
+      "security": "allowlist",
+      "ask": "on-miss",
+      "allowlist": [
+        {
+          "pattern": "~/Projects/**/bin/rg",
+          "lastUsedAt": 0,
+          "lastUsedCommand": "rg -n TODO",
+          "lastResolvedPath": "/Users/user/Projects/.../bin/rg"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+Notes:
+- No legacy allowlist formats.
+- `askFallback` applies only when `ask` is required and no UI is reachable.
+- File permissions: `0600`.
+
+## Runner service (headless)
+### Role
+- Enforce `exec.security` + `exec.ask` locally.
+- Execute system commands and return output.
+- Emit Bridge events for exec lifecycle (optional but recommended).
+
+### Service lifecycle
+- Launchd/daemon on macOS; system service on Linux/Windows.
+- Approvals JSON is local to the execution host.
+- UI hosts a local Unix socket; runners connect on demand.
+
+## UI integration (macOS app)
+### IPC
+- Unix socket at `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.sock`.
+- Runner connects and sends an approval request; UI responds with a decision.
+- Token stored in `exec-approvals.json`.
+
+### Ask flow
+1) Runner receives `system.run` from gateway.
+2) If ask required, runner connects to the socket and sends a prompt request.
+3) UI shows dialog; returns decision.
+4) Runner enforces decision and proceeds.
+
+If UI missing:
+- Apply `askFallback` (`deny|allowlist|full`).
+
+## Node identity + binding
+- Use existing `nodeId` from Bridge pairing.
+- Binding model:
+  - `tools.exec.node` restricts the agent to a specific node.
+  - If unset, agent can pick any node (policy still enforces defaults).
+- Node selection resolution:
+  - `nodeId` exact match
+  - `displayName` (normalized)
+  - `remoteIp`
+  - `nodeId` prefix (>= 6 chars)
+
+## Eventing
+### Who sees events
+- System events are **per session** and shown to the agent on the next prompt.
+- Stored in the gateway in-memory queue (`enqueueSystemEvent`).
+
+### Event text
+- `Exec started (host=node, node=<id>, id=<runId>)`
+- `Exec finished (exit=<code>, tail=<...>)`
+- `Exec denied (policy=<...>, reason=<...>)`
+
+### Transport
+Option A (recommended):
+- Runner sends Bridge `event` frames `exec.started` / `exec.finished`.
+- Gateway `handleBridgeEvent` maps these into `enqueueSystemEvent`.
+
+Option B:
+- Gateway `exec` tool handles lifecycle directly (synchronous only).
+
+## Exec flows
+### Sandbox host
+- Existing `exec` behavior (Docker or host when unsandboxed).
+- PTY supported in non-sandbox mode only.
+
+### Gateway host
+- Gateway process executes on its own machine.
+- Enforces local `exec-approvals.json` (security/ask/allowlist).
+
+### Node host
+- Gateway calls `node.invoke` with `system.run`.
+- Runner enforces local approvals.
+- Runner returns aggregated stdout/stderr.
+- Optional Bridge events for start/finish/deny.
+
+## Output caps
+- Cap combined stdout+stderr at **200k**; keep **tail 20k** for events.
+- Truncate with a clear suffix (e.g., `"… (truncated)"`).
+
+## Slash commands
+- `/exec host=<sandbox|gateway|node> security=<deny|allowlist|full> ask=<off|on-miss|always> node=<id>`
+- Per-agent, per-session overrides; non-persistent unless saved via config.
+- `/elevated on|off` remains a shortcut for `host=gateway security=full`.
+
+## Cross-platform story
+- The runner service is the portable execution target.
+- UI is optional; if missing, `askFallback` applies.
+- Windows/Linux support the same approvals JSON + socket protocol.
+
+## Implementation phases
+### Phase 1: config + exec routing
+- Add config schema for `exec.host`, `exec.security`, `exec.ask`, `exec.node`.
+- Update tool plumbing to respect `exec.host`.
+- Add `/exec` slash command and keep `/elevated` alias.
+
+### Phase 2: approvals store + gateway enforcement
+- Implement `exec-approvals.json` reader/writer.
+- Enforce allowlist + ask modes for `gateway` host.
+- Add output caps.
+
+### Phase 3: node runner enforcement
+- Update node runner to enforce allowlist + ask.
+- Add Unix socket prompt bridge to macOS app UI.
+- Wire `askFallback`.
+
+### Phase 4: events
+- Add node → gateway Bridge events for exec lifecycle.
+- Map to `enqueueSystemEvent` for agent prompts.
+
+### Phase 5: UI polish
+- Mac app: allowlist editor, per-agent switcher, ask policy UI.
+- Node binding controls (optional).
+
+## Testing plan
+- Unit tests: allowlist matching (glob + case-insensitive).
+- Unit tests: policy resolution precedence (tool param → agent override → global).
+- Integration tests: node runner deny/allow/ask flows.
+- Bridge event tests: node event → system event routing.
+
+## Open risks
+- UI unavailability: ensure `askFallback` is respected.
+- Long-running commands: rely on timeout + output caps.
+- Multi-node ambiguity: error unless node binding or explicit node param.

-# Exec approvals (macOS app)
+# Exec approvals
 
-Exec approvals are the **macOS companion app** guardrail for running host
-commands from sandboxed agents. Think of it as a per-agent “run this on my Mac”
-approval layer: the agent asks, the app decides, and the command runs (or not).
-This is **in addition** to tool policy and elevated gating; all of those checks
-must pass before a command can run.
+Exec approvals are the **companion app guardrail** for letting a sandboxed agent run
+commands on a real host (`gateway` or `node`). Think of it like a safety interlock:
+commands are allowed only when policy + allowlist + (optional) user approval all agree.
+Exec approvals are **in addition** to tool policy and elevated gating.
 
-If you are **not** running the macOS companion app, exec approvals are
-unavailable and `system.run` requests will be rejected with a message that a
-companion app is required.
+If the companion app UI is **not available**, any request that requires a prompt is
+resolved by the **ask fallback** (default: deny).
 
-## Settings
+## Where it applies
 
-In the macOS app, each agent has an **Exec approvals** setting:
+Exec approvals are enforced locally on the execution host:
+- **gateway host** → `clawdbot` process on the gateway machine
+- **node host** → node runner (macOS companion app or headless node)
 
-- **Deny**: block all host exec requests from the agent.
-- **Always ask**: show a confirmation dialog for each host exec request.
-- **Always allow**: run host exec requests without prompting.

+## Policy knobs
+
+### Security (`exec.security`)
+- **deny**: block all host exec requests.
+- **allowlist**: allow only allowlisted commands.
+- **full**: allow everything (equivalent to elevated).
+
+### Ask (`exec.ask`)
+- **off**: never prompt.
+- **on-miss**: prompt only when allowlist does not match.
+- **always**: prompt on every command.
+
+### Ask fallback (`askFallback`)
+If a prompt is required but no UI is reachable, fallback decides:
+- **deny**: block.
+- **allowlist**: allow only if allowlist matches.
+- **full**: allow.
 
 ## Allowlist (per agent)
 
-The allowlist is **per agent**. If multiple agents exist, you can switch which
-agent’s allowlist you’re editing. Entries are path-based and support **globs**.
+Allowlists are **per agent**. If multiple agents exist, switch which agent you’re
+editing in the macOS app. Patterns are **case-insensitive glob matches**.

 Each allowlist entry tracks:
-- **last used** (timestamp)
+- **last used** timestamp
 - **last used command**
-- **last used path** (resolved absolute path)
-- **last seen metadata** (hash/version/mtime when available)
+- **last resolved path**
 
-## How matching works
+## Auto-allow skill CLIs
 
-1) Parse the command to determine the executable (first token).
-2) Resolve the executable to an absolute path using `PATH`.
-3) Match against denylist (if present) → **deny**.
-4) Match against allowlist → **allow**.
-5) Otherwise follow the Exec approvals policy (deny/ask/allow).
-
-If **auto-allow skill CLIs** is enabled, each installed skill can contribute one
-or more allowlist entries. A skill-based allowlist entry only auto-allows when:
-- the resolved path matches, and
-- the binary hash/version matches the last approved record (if tracked).
-
-If the binary changes (new hash/version), the command falls back to **Ask** so
-the user can re-approve.
+When **Auto-allow skill CLIs** is enabled, executables referenced by known skills
+are treated as allowlisted (node hosts only). Disable this if you want strict
+manual allowlists.
 
 ## Approval flow
 
-When the policy is **Always ask** (or when a binary has changed), the macOS app
-shows a confirmation dialog. The dialog should include:
+When a prompt is required, the companion app displays a confirmation dialog with:
 - command + args
 - cwd
-- environment overrides (diff)
-- policy + rule that matched (if any)
+- agent id
+- resolved executable path
+- host + policy metadata
 
 Actions:
 - **Allow once** → run now
-- **Always allow** → add/update allowlist entry + run
+- **Always allow** → add to allowlist + run
 - **Deny** → block
 
-When approved, the command runs **in the background** and the agent receives
-system events as it starts and completes.
-
 ## System events
 
-The agent receives system messages for observability and recovery:
+Exec lifecycle is surfaced as system messages:
+- `exec.started`
+- `exec.finished`
+- `exec.denied`
 
-- `exec.started` — command accepted and launched
-- `exec.finished` — command completed (exit code + output)
-- `exec.denied` — command blocked (policy or denylist)
-
-These are **system messages**; no extra agent tool call is required to resume.
+These are posted to the agent’s session after the node reports the event.
 
 ## Implications
 
-- **Always allow** is powerful: the agent can run any host command without a
-  prompt. Prefer allowlisting trusted CLIs instead.
-- **Ask** keeps you in the loop while still allowing fast approvals.
-- Per-agent allowlists prevent one agent’s approval set from leaking into others.
-
-## Storage
-
-Allowlists and approval settings are stored **locally in the macOS app** (SQLite
-is a good fit). The Markdown docs describe behavior; they are not the storage
-mechanism.
+- **full** is powerful; prefer allowlists when possible.
+- **ask** keeps you in the loop while still allowing fast approvals.
+- Per-agent allowlists prevent one agent’s approvals from leaking into others.

-Clawdbot plugins can register agent tools (JSON‑schema functions) that appear in the
-agent tool list. Tools can be **required** (always available) or **optional** (opt‑in).
+Clawdbot plugins can register **agent tools** (JSON‑schema functions) that are exposed
+to the LLM during agent runs. Tools can be **required** (always available) or
+**optional** (opt‑in).
+
+Agent tools are configured under `tools` in the main config, or per‑agent under
+`agents.list[].tools`. The allowlist/denylist policy controls which tools the agent
+can call.

 Sub-agents are background agent runs spawned from an existing agent run. They run in their own session (`agent:<agentId>:subagent:<uuid>`) and, when finished, **announce** their result back to the requester chat channel.
 
+## Slash command
+
+Use `/subagents` to inspect or control sub-agent runs for the **current session**:
+- `/subagents list`
+- `/subagents stop <id|#|all>`
+- `/subagents log <id|#> [limit] [tools]`
+- `/subagents info <id|#>`
+- `/subagents send <id|#> <message>`
+
+`/subagents info` shows run metadata (status, timestamps, session id, transcript path, cleanup).
+
 Primary goals:
 - Parallelize “research / long task / slow tool” work without blocking the main run.
 - Keep sub-agents isolated by default (session separation + optional sandboxing).

+# SOUL Evil Hook
+
+Replaces the injected `SOUL.md` content with `SOUL_EVIL.md` during a daily purge window or by random chance.
+
+## What It Does
+
+When enabled and the trigger conditions match, the hook swaps the **injected** `SOUL.md` content before the system prompt is built. It does **not** modify files on disk.
+
+## Files
+
+- `SOUL.md` — normal persona (always read)
+- `SOUL_EVIL.md` — alternate persona (read only when triggered)
+
+You can change the filename via hook config.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Add this to your config (`~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "soul-evil": {
+          "enabled": true,
+          "file": "SOUL_EVIL.md",
+          "chance": 0.1,
+          "purge": { "at": "21:00", "duration": "15m" }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Options
+
+- `file` (string): alternate SOUL filename (default: `SOUL_EVIL.md`)
+- `chance` (number 0–1): random chance per run to swap in SOUL_EVIL
+- `purge.at` (HH:mm): daily purge window start time (24h)
+- `purge.duration` (duration): window length (e.g. `30s`, `10m`, `1h`)
+
+**Precedence:** purge window wins over chance.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `hooks.internal.entries.soul-evil.enabled` must be set to `true`
+
+## Enable

Subject: [PATCH 097/240] refactor: remove monkeypatching from gateway tests

Replace manual process.env backup/restore with vi.stubEnv():
- server.config-apply.test.ts: Simplified env var pattern
- server.channels.test.ts: Simplified env var pattern
- server.sessions-send.test.ts: Added afterEach cleanup hook, removed try-finally blocks from all 4 tests

Uses proper Vitest isolation instead of manual restoration.

Subject: [PATCH 098/240] refactor: add afterEach cleanup to all gateway tests

Added afterEach hooks with server/ws cleanup to:
- server.channels.test.ts (3 tests)
- server.config-apply.test.ts (2 tests)
- server.sessions-send.test.ts (already had this)

This ensures ports are properly released between tests, preventing
timeout issues from port conflicts.

@@ -172,6 +172,44 @@ When enabled, Clawdbot combines:
 
 If full-text search is unavailable on your platform, Clawdbot falls back to vector-only search.
 
+#### Why hybrid?
+
+Vector search is great at “this means the same thing”:
+- “Mac Studio gateway host” vs “the machine running the gateway”
+- “debounce file updates” vs “avoid indexing on every write”
+
+But it can be weak at exact, high-signal tokens:
+- IDs (`a828e60`, `b3b9895a…`)
+- code symbols (`memorySearch.query.hybrid`)
+- error strings (“sqlite-vec unavailable”)
+
+BM25 (full-text) is the opposite: strong at exact tokens, weaker at paraphrases.
+Hybrid search is the pragmatic middle ground: **use both retrieval signals** so you get
+good results for both “natural language” queries and “needle in a haystack” queries.
+
+#### How we merge results (the current design)
+
+Implementation sketch:
+
+1) Retrieve a candidate pool from both sides:
+- **Vector**: top `maxResults * candidateMultiplier` by cosine similarity.
+- **BM25**: top `maxResults * candidateMultiplier` by FTS5 BM25 rank (lower is better).
+
+2) Convert BM25 rank into a 0..1-ish score:
+- `textScore = 1 / (1 + max(0, bm25Rank))`
+
+3) Union candidates by chunk id and compute a weighted score:
+- `finalScore = vectorWeight * vectorScore + textWeight * textScore`
+
+Notes:
+- `vectorWeight` + `textWeight` is normalized to 1.0 in config resolution, so weights behave as percentages.
+- If embeddings are unavailable (or the provider returns a zero-vector), we still run BM25 and return keyword matches.
+- If FTS5 can’t be created, we keep vector-only search (no hard failure).
+
+This isn’t “IR-theory perfect”, but it’s simple, fast, and tends to improve recall/precision on real notes.
+If we want to get fancier later, common next steps are Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) or score normalization
+(min/max or z-score) before mixing.
+

+Plugins can ship hooks and register them at runtime. This lets a plugin bundle
+event-driven automation without a separate hook pack install.

 ### Changes
 - Exec: add host/security/ask routing for gateway + node exec.
+- Exec: add `/exec` directive for per-session exec defaults (host/security/ask/node).
 - macOS: migrate exec approvals to `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json` with per-agent allowlists and skill auto-allow toggle.
 - macOS: add approvals socket UI server + node exec lifecycle events.
 - Slash commands: replace `/cost` with `/usage off|tokens|full` to control per-response usage footer; `/usage` no longer aliases `/status`. (Supersedes #1140) — thanks @Nachx639.

+  - You want a purge window or random-chance persona swap
+---
+
+# SOUL Evil Hook
+
+The SOUL Evil hook swaps the **injected** `SOUL.md` content with `SOUL_EVIL.md` during
+a purge window or by random chance. It does **not** modify files on disk.
+
+## How It Works
+
+When `agent:bootstrap` runs, the hook can replace the `SOUL.md` content in memory
+before the system prompt is assembled. If `SOUL_EVIL.md` is missing or empty,
+Clawdbot logs a warning and keeps the normal `SOUL.md`.
+
+Sub-agent runs do **not** include `SOUL.md` in their bootstrap files, so this hook
+has no effect on sub-agents.
+
+## Enable
+
+```bash
+clawdbot hooks enable soul-evil
+```
+
+Then set the config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "internal": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "entries": {
+        "soul-evil": {
+          "enabled": true,
+          "file": "SOUL_EVIL.md",
+          "chance": 0.1,
+          "purge": { "at": "21:00", "duration": "15m" }

+## Options
+
+- `file` (string): alternate SOUL filename (default: `SOUL_EVIL.md`)
+- `chance` (number 0–1): random chance per run to use `SOUL_EVIL.md`
+- `purge.at` (HH:mm): daily purge start (24-hour clock)
+- `purge.duration` (duration): window length (e.g. `30s`, `10m`, `1h`)
+
+**Precedence:** purge window wins over chance.
+
+**Timezone:** uses `agents.defaults.userTimezone` when set; otherwise host timezone.
+
+## Notes
+
+- No files are written or modified on disk.
+- If `SOUL.md` is not in the bootstrap list, the hook does nothing.

Subject: [PATCH 134/240] feat(memory): add lifecycle hooks and vector memory
 plugin

Add plugin lifecycle hooks infrastructure:
- before_agent_start: inject context before agent loop
- agent_end: analyze conversation after completion
- 13 hook types total (message, tool, session, gateway hooks)

Memory plugin implementation:
- LanceDB vector storage with OpenAI embeddings
- kind: "memory" to integrate with upstream slot system
- Auto-recall: injects <relevant-memories> when context found
- Auto-capture: stores preferences, decisions, entities
- Rule-based capture filtering with 0.95 similarity dedup
- Tools: memory_recall, memory_store, memory_forget
- CLI: clawdbot ltm list|search|stats

Plugin infrastructure:
- api.on() method for hook registration
- Global hook runner singleton for cross-module access
- Priority ordering and error catching

-## Lifecyle
-- Idle expiry: `session.idleMinutes` (default 60). After the timeout a new `sessionId` is minted on the next message.
+## Lifecycle
+- Reset policy: sessions are reused until they expire, and expiry is evaluated on the next inbound message.
+- Daily reset: defaults to **4:00 AM local time on the gateway host**. A session is stale once its last update is earlier than the most recent daily reset time.
+- Idle reset (optional): `idleMinutes` adds a sliding idle window. When both daily and idle resets are configured, **whichever expires first** forces a new session.
+- Legacy idle-only: if you set `session.idleMinutes` without any `session.reset`/`resetByType` config, Clawdbot stays in idle-only mode for backward compatibility.
+- Per-type overrides (optional): `resetByType` lets you override the policy for `dm`, `group`, and `thread` sessions (thread = Slack/Discord threads, Telegram topics, Matrix threads when provided by the connector).
 - Reset triggers: exact `/new` or `/reset` (plus any extras in `resetTriggers`) start a fresh session id and pass the remainder of the message through. If `/new` or `/reset` is sent alone, Clawdbot runs a short “hello” greeting turn to confirm the reset.
 - Manual reset: delete specific keys from the store or remove the JSONL transcript; the next message recreates them.
 - Isolated cron jobs always mint a fresh `sessionId` per run (no idle reuse).

@@ -9,11 +9,16 @@ Docs: https://docs.clawd.bot
 - Exec: add `/exec` directive for per-session exec defaults (host/security/ask/node).
 - macOS: migrate exec approvals to `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json` with per-agent allowlists and skill auto-allow toggle.
 - macOS: add approvals socket UI server + node exec lifecycle events.
+- Nodes: add headless node host (`clawdbot node start`) for `system.run`/`system.which`.
+- Nodes: add node daemon service install/status/start/stop/restart.
+- Bridge: add `skills.bins` RPC to support node host auto-allow skill bins.
 - Slash commands: replace `/cost` with `/usage off|tokens|full` to control per-response usage footer; `/usage` no longer aliases `/status`. (Supersedes #1140) — thanks @Nachx639.
 - Sessions: add daily reset policy with per-type overrides and idle windows (default 4am local), preserving legacy idle-only configs. (#1146) — thanks @austinm911.
 - Docs: refresh exec/elevated/exec-approvals docs for the new flow. https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/exec-approvals
+- Docs: add node host CLI + update exec approvals/bridge protocol docs. https://docs.clawd.bot/cli/node
 
 ### Fixes
+- Exec approvals: enforce allowlist when ask is off; prefer raw command for node approvals/events.
 - Tools: return a companion-app-required message when node exec is requested with no paired node.
 - Streaming: emit assistant deltas for OpenAI-compatible SSE chunks. (#1147) — thanks @alauppe.

+---
+
+# `clawdbot node`
+
+Run a **headless node host** that connects to the Gateway bridge and exposes
+`system.run` / `system.which` on this machine.
+
+## Start (foreground)
+
+```bash
+clawdbot node start --host <gateway-host> --port 18790
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--host <host>`: Gateway bridge host (default: `127.0.0.1`)
+- `--port <port>`: Gateway bridge port (default: `18790`)
+- `--tls`: Use TLS for the bridge connection
+- `--tls-fingerprint <sha256>`: Pin the bridge certificate fingerprint
+- `--node-id <id>`: Override node id (clears pairing token)
+- `--display-name <name>`: Override the node display name
+
+## Daemon (background service)
+
+Install a headless node host as a user service.
+
+```bash
+clawdbot node daemon install --host <gateway-host> --port 18790
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--host <host>`: Gateway bridge host (default: `127.0.0.1`)
+- `--port <port>`: Gateway bridge port (default: `18790`)
+- `--tls`: Use TLS for the bridge connection
+- `--tls-fingerprint <sha256>`: Pin the bridge certificate fingerprint
+- `--node-id <id>`: Override node id (clears pairing token)
+- `--display-name <name>`: Override the node display name
+- `--runtime <runtime>`: Service runtime (`node` or `bun`)
+- `--force`: Reinstall/overwrite if already installed
+
+Manage the service:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot node daemon status
+clawdbot node daemon start
+clawdbot node daemon stop
+clawdbot node daemon restart
+clawdbot node daemon uninstall
+```
+
+## Pairing
+
+The first connection creates a pending node pair request on the Gateway.
+Approve it via:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot nodes pending
+clawdbot nodes approve <requestId>
+```
+
+The node host stores its node id + token in `~/.clawdbot/node.json`.
+
+## Exec approvals
+
+`system.run` is gated by local exec approvals:

+## Why use a node host?
+
+Use a node host when you want agents to **run commands on other machines** in your
+network without installing a full macOS companion app there.
+
+Common use cases:
+- Run commands on remote Linux/Windows boxes (build servers, lab machines, NAS).
+- Keep exec **sandboxed** on the gateway, but delegate approved runs to other hosts.
+- Provide a lightweight, headless execution target for automation or CI nodes.
+
+Execution is still guarded by **exec approvals** and per‑agent allowlists on the
+node host, so you can keep command access scoped and explicit.

+# Clawdbot ACP Bridge
+
+This document describes how the Clawdbot ACP (Agent Client Protocol) bridge works,
+how it maps ACP sessions to Gateway sessions, and how IDEs should invoke it.
+
+## Overview
+
+`clawdbot acp` exposes an ACP agent over stdio and forwards prompts to a running
+Clawdbot Gateway over WebSocket. It keeps ACP session ids mapped to Gateway
+session keys so IDEs can reconnect to the same agent transcript or reset it on
+request.
+
+Key goals:
+
+- Minimal ACP surface area (stdio, NDJSON).
+- Stable session mapping across reconnects.
+- Works with existing Gateway session store (list/resolve/reset).
+- Safe defaults (isolated ACP session keys by default).
+
+## How can I use this
+
+Use ACP when an IDE or tooling speaks Agent Client Protocol and you want it to
+drive a Clawdbot Gateway session.
+
+Quick steps:
+
+1. Run a Gateway (local or remote).
+2. Configure the Gateway target (`gateway.remote.url` + auth) or pass flags.
+3. Point the IDE to run `clawdbot acp` over stdio.
+
+Example config:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot config set gateway.remote.url wss://gateway-host:18789
+clawdbot config set gateway.remote.token <token>
+```
+
+Example run:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot acp --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token <token>
+```
+
+## Selecting agents
+
+ACP does not pick agents directly. It routes by the Gateway session key.
+
+Use agent-scoped session keys to target a specific agent:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot acp --session agent:main:main
+clawdbot acp --session agent:design:main
+clawdbot acp --session agent:qa:bug-123
+```
+
+Each ACP session maps to a single Gateway session key. One agent can have many
+sessions; ACP defaults to an isolated `acp:<uuid>` session unless you override
+the key or label.
+
+## Zed editor setup
+
+Add a custom ACP agent in `~/.config/zed/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_servers": {
+    "Clawdbot ACP": {
+      "type": "custom",
+      "command": "clawdbot",
+      "args": ["acp"],
+      "env": {}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+To target a specific Gateway or agent:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_servers": {
+    "Clawdbot ACP": {
+      "type": "custom",
+      "command": "clawdbot",
+      "args": [
+        "acp",
+        "--url", "wss://gateway-host:18789",
+        "--token", "<token>",
+        "--session", "agent:design:main"
+      ],
+      "env": {}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In Zed, open the Agent panel and select “Clawdbot ACP” to start a thread.
+
+## Execution Model
+
+- ACP client spawns `clawdbot acp` and speaks ACP messages over stdio.
+- The bridge connects to the Gateway using existing auth config (or CLI flags).
+- ACP `prompt` translates to Gateway `chat.send`.
+- Gateway streaming events are translated back into ACP streaming events.
+- ACP `cancel` maps to Gateway `chat.abort` for the active run.
+
+## Session Mapping
+
+By default each ACP session is mapped to a dedicated Gateway session key:
+
+- `acp:<uuid>` unless overridden.
+
+You can override or reuse sessions in two ways:
+
+1) CLI defaults
+
+```bash
+clawdbot acp --session agent:main:main
+clawdbot acp --session-label "support inbox"
+clawdbot acp --reset-session
+```
+
+2) ACP metadata per session
+
+```json
+{
+  "_meta": {
+    "sessionKey": "agent:main:main",
+    "sessionLabel": "support inbox",
+    "resetSession": true,
+    "requireExisting": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `sessionKey`: direct Gateway session key.
+- `sessionLabel`: resolve an existing session by label.
+- `resetSession`: mint a new transcript for the key before first use.
+- `requireExisting`: fail if the key/label does not exist.
+
+### Session Listing
+
+ACP `listSessions` maps to Gateway `sessions.list` and returns a filtered
+summary suitable for IDE session pickers. `_meta.limit` can cap the number of
+sessions returned.
+
+## Prompt Translation
+
+ACP prompt inputs are converted into a Gateway `chat.send`:
+
+- `text` and `resource` blocks become prompt text.
+- `resource_link` with image mime types become attachments.
+- The working directory can be prefixed into the prompt (default on, can be
+  disabled with `--no-prefix-cwd`).
+
+Gateway streaming events are translated into ACP `message` and `tool_call`
+updates. Terminal Gateway states map to ACP `done` with stop reasons:
+
+- `complete` -> `stop`
+- `aborted` -> `cancel`
+- `error` -> `error`
+
+## Auth + Gateway Discovery
+
+`clawdbot acp` resolves the Gateway URL and auth from CLI flags or config:
+
+- `--url` / `--token` / `--password` take precedence.
+- Otherwise use configured `gateway.remote.*` settings.
+
+## Operational Notes
+
+- ACP sessions are stored in memory for the bridge process lifetime.
+- Gateway session state is persisted by the Gateway itself.
+- `--verbose` logs ACP/Gateway bridge events to stderr (never stdout).
+- ACP runs can be canceled and the active run id is tracked per session.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- ACP bridge uses `@agentclientprotocol/sdk` (currently 0.13.x).
+- Works with ACP clients that implement `initialize`, `newSession`,
+  `loadSession`, `prompt`, `cancel`, and `listSessions`.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Unit: `src/acp/session.test.ts` covers run id lifecycle.
+- Full gate: `pnpm lint && pnpm build && pnpm test && pnpm docs:build`.
+

+clawdbot acp --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token <token>
+
+# Attach to an existing session key
+clawdbot acp --session agent:main:main
+
+# Attach by label (must already exist)
+clawdbot acp --session-label "support inbox"
+
+# Reset the session key before the first prompt
+clawdbot acp --session agent:main:main --reset-session
+```
+
+## How to use this
+
+Use ACP when an IDE (or other client) speaks Agent Client Protocol and you want
+it to drive a Clawdbot Gateway session.
+
+1. Ensure the Gateway is running (local or remote).
+2. Configure the Gateway target (config or flags).
+3. Point your IDE to run `clawdbot acp` over stdio.
+
+Example config (persisted):
+
+```bash
+clawdbot config set gateway.remote.url wss://gateway-host:18789
+clawdbot config set gateway.remote.token <token>
+```
+
+Example direct run (no config write):
+
+```bash
+clawdbot acp --url wss://gateway-host:18789 --token <token>
+```
+
+## Selecting agents
+
+ACP does not pick agents directly. It routes by the Gateway session key.
+
+Use agent-scoped session keys to target a specific agent:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot acp --session agent:main:main
+clawdbot acp --session agent:design:main
+clawdbot acp --session agent:qa:bug-123
+```
+
+Each ACP session maps to a single Gateway session key. One agent can have many
+sessions; ACP defaults to an isolated `acp:<uuid>` session unless you override
+the key or label.
+
+## Zed editor setup
+
+Add a custom ACP agent in `~/.config/zed/settings.json` (or use Zed’s Settings UI):
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_servers": {
+    "Clawdbot ACP": {
+      "type": "custom",
+      "command": "clawdbot",
+      "args": ["acp"],
+      "env": {}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+To target a specific Gateway or agent:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_servers": {
+    "Clawdbot ACP": {
+      "type": "custom",
+      "command": "clawdbot",
+      "args": [
+        "acp",
+        "--url", "wss://gateway-host:18789",
+        "--token", "<token>",
+        "--session", "agent:design:main"
+      ],
+      "env": {}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In Zed, open the Agent panel and select “Clawdbot ACP” to start a thread.
+
+## Session mapping
+
+By default, ACP sessions get an isolated Gateway session key with an `acp:` prefix.
+To reuse a known session, pass a session key or label:
+
+- `--session <key>`: use a specific Gateway session key.
+- `--session-label <label>`: resolve an existing session by label.
+- `--reset-session`: mint a fresh session id for that key (same key, new transcript).
+
+If your ACP client supports metadata, you can override per session:
+
+```json
+{
+  "_meta": {
+    "sessionKey": "agent:main:main",
+    "sessionLabel": "support inbox",
+    "resetSession": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Learn more about session keys at [/concepts/session](/concepts/session).
+
+## Options
+
+- `--url <url>`: Gateway WebSocket URL (defaults to gateway.remote.url when configured).
+- `--token <token>`: Gateway auth token.
+- `--password <password>`: Gateway auth password.
+- `--session <key>`: default session key.
+- `--session-label <label>`: default session label to resolve.
+- `--require-existing`: fail if the session key/label does not exist.
+- `--reset-session`: reset the session key before first use.
+- `--no-prefix-cwd`: do not prefix prompts with the working directory.
+- `--verbose, -v`: verbose logging to stderr.

Subject: [PATCH 158/240] feat: native image injection for vision-capable
 models

- Auto-detect and load images referenced in user prompts
- Inject history images at their original message positions
- Fix EXIF orientation - rotate before resizing in resizeToJpeg
- Sandbox security: validate paths, block remote URLs when sandbox enabled
- Prevent duplicate history image injection across turns
- Handle string-based user message content (convert to array)
- Add bounds check for message index in history processing
- Fix regex to properly match relative paths (./  ../)
- Add multi-image support for iMessage attachments
- Pass MAX_IMAGE_BYTES limit to image loading

Subject: [PATCH 159/240] fix: improve file URL handling and enhance image
 loading logic

- Added handling for file URLs using fileURLToPath for proper resolution.
- Updated logic to skip relative path resolution if ref.resolved is already absolute.
- Enhanced cap calculation for image loading to handle undefined maxBytes more gracefully.

 Manual selection via `/model …@<profileId>` sets a **user override** for that session
 and is not auto‑rotated until a new session starts.
 
+Auto‑pinned profiles (selected by the session router) are treated as a **preference**:
+they are tried first, but Clawdbot may rotate to another profile on rate limits/timeouts.
+User‑pinned profiles stay locked to that profile; if it fails and model fallbacks
+are configured, Clawdbot moves to the next model instead of switching profiles.

 ### Why OAuth can “look lost”
 
 If you have both an OAuth profile and an API key profile for the same provider, round‑robin can switch between them across messages unless pinned. To force a single profile:

   Ask/allowlist/full behave the same as the headless node host; denied prompts return `SYSTEM_RUN_DENIED`.
 - On headless node host, `system.run` is gated by exec approvals (`~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json`).
 
+## Exec node binding
+
+When multiple nodes are available, you can bind exec to a specific node.
+This sets the default node for `exec host=node` (and can be overridden per agent).
+
+Global default:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot config set tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"
+```
+
+Per-agent override:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot config get agents.list
+clawdbot config set agents.list[0].tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"
+```
+
+Unset to allow any node:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot config unset tools.exec.node
+clawdbot config unset agents.list[0].tools.exec.node
+```
+
 ## Permissions map
 
 Nodes may include a `permissions` map in `node.list` / `node.describe`, keyed by permission name (e.g. `screenRecording`, `accessibility`) with boolean values (`true` = granted).

 ## Session overrides (`/exec`)
 
 Use `/exec` to set **per-session** defaults for `host`, `security`, `ask`, and `node`.

 ## Options
 
 - `--verbose`: emit debug logs during memory probes and indexing.
+- `--index-mode auto|batch|direct`: override batch usage when indexing (`direct` favors speed; `batch` favors OpenAI Batch pricing).
+- `--progress auto|line|log|none`: progress output mode (`log` prints updates even without a TTY).

+++ b/CHANGELOG.md
@@ -13,29 +13,18 @@ Docs: https://docs.clawd.bot
 ### Fixes
 - Auth profiles: keep auto-pinned preference while allowing rotation on failover; user pins stay locked. (#1138) — thanks @cheeeee.
 - macOS: avoid touching launchd in Remote over SSH so quitting the app no longer disables the remote gateway. (#1105)
-
 ## 2026.1.18-3
 
 ### Changes
 - Exec: add host/security/ask routing for gateway + node exec.
-- Exec: add `/exec` directive for per-session exec defaults (host/security/ask/node).
 - macOS: migrate exec approvals to `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json` with per-agent allowlists and skill auto-allow toggle.
 - macOS: add approvals socket UI server + node exec lifecycle events.
-- Nodes: add headless node host (`clawdbot node start`) for `system.run`/`system.which`.
-- Nodes: add node daemon service install/status/start/stop/restart.
-- Bridge: add `skills.bins` RPC to support node host auto-allow skill bins.
-- Slash commands: replace `/cost` with `/usage off|tokens|full` to control per-response usage footer; `/usage` no longer aliases `/status`. (Supersedes #1140) — thanks @Nachx639.
-- Sessions: add daily reset policy with per-type overrides and idle windows (default 4am local), preserving legacy idle-only configs. (#1146) — thanks @austinm911.
-- Agents: auto-inject local image references for vision models and avoid reloading history images. (#1098) — thanks @tyler6204.
+- Plugins: ship Discord/Slack/Telegram/Signal/WhatsApp as bundled channel plugins via the shared SDK (iMessage now bundled + opt-in).
 - Docs: refresh exec/elevated/exec-approvals docs for the new flow. https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/exec-approvals
-- Docs: add node host CLI + update exec approvals/bridge protocol docs. https://docs.clawd.bot/cli/node
-- ACP: add experimental ACP support for IDE integrations (`clawdbot acp`). Thanks @visionik.
 
 ### Fixes
-- Exec approvals: enforce allowlist when ask is off; prefer raw command for node approvals/events.
 - Tools: return a companion-app-required message when node exec is requested with no paired node.
-- Streaming: emit assistant deltas for OpenAI-compatible SSE chunks. (#1147) — thanks @alauppe.
-- Model fallback: treat timeout aborts as failover while preserving user aborts. (#1137) — thanks @cheeeee.
+- Tests: avoid extension imports when wiring plugin registries in unit tests.

@@ -9,22 +9,35 @@ Docs: https://docs.clawd.bot
 - macOS: stop syncing Peekaboo as a git submodule in postinstall.
 - Swabble: use the tagged Commander Swift package release.
 - CLI: add `clawdbot acp client` interactive ACP harness for debugging.
+- Memory: add native Gemini embeddings provider for memory search. (#1151) — thanks @gumadeiras.
 
 ### Fixes
 - Auth profiles: keep auto-pinned preference while allowing rotation on failover; user pins stay locked. (#1138) — thanks @cheeeee.
 - macOS: avoid touching launchd in Remote over SSH so quitting the app no longer disables the remote gateway. (#1105)
+- Memory: index atomically so failed reindex preserves the previous memory database. (#1151) — thanks @gumadeiras.
+
 ## 2026.1.18-3
 
 ### Changes
 - Exec: add host/security/ask routing for gateway + node exec.
+- Exec: add `/exec` directive for per-session exec defaults (host/security/ask/node).
 - macOS: migrate exec approvals to `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json` with per-agent allowlists and skill auto-allow toggle.
 - macOS: add approvals socket UI server + node exec lifecycle events.
-- Plugins: ship Discord/Slack/Telegram/Signal/WhatsApp as bundled channel plugins via the shared SDK (iMessage now bundled + opt-in).
+- Nodes: add headless node host (`clawdbot node start`) for `system.run`/`system.which`.
+- Nodes: add node daemon service install/status/start/stop/restart.
+- Bridge: add `skills.bins` RPC to support node host auto-allow skill bins.
+- Slash commands: replace `/cost` with `/usage off|tokens|full` to control per-response usage footer; `/usage` no longer aliases `/status`. (Supersedes #1140) — thanks @Nachx639.
+- Sessions: add daily reset policy with per-type overrides and idle windows (default 4am local), preserving legacy idle-only configs. (#1146) — thanks @austinm911.
+- Agents: auto-inject local image references for vision models and avoid reloading history images. (#1098) — thanks @tyler6204.
 - Docs: refresh exec/elevated/exec-approvals docs for the new flow. https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/exec-approvals
+- Docs: add node host CLI + update exec approvals/bridge protocol docs. https://docs.clawd.bot/cli/node
+- ACP: add experimental ACP support for IDE integrations (`clawdbot acp`). Thanks @visionik.
 
 ### Fixes
+- Exec approvals: enforce allowlist when ask is off; prefer raw command for node approvals/events.
 - Tools: return a companion-app-required message when node exec is requested with no paired node.
-- Tests: avoid extension imports when wiring plugin registries in unit tests.
+- Streaming: emit assistant deltas for OpenAI-compatible SSE chunks. (#1147) — thanks @alauppe.
+- Model fallback: treat timeout aborts as failover while preserving user aborts. (#1137) — thanks @cheeeee.

+## Queueing + concurrency
+- Runs are serialized per session key (session lane) and optionally through a global lane.
+- This prevents tool/session races and keeps session history consistent.
+- Messaging channels can choose queue modes (collect/steer/followup) that feed this lane system.
+  See [Command Queue](/concepts/queue).
+
+## Session + workspace preparation
+- Workspace is resolved and created; sandboxed runs may redirect to a sandbox workspace root.
+- Skills are loaded (or reused from a snapshot) and injected into env and prompt.
+- Bootstrap/context files are resolved and injected into the system prompt report.
+- A session write lock is acquired; `SessionManager` is opened and prepared before streaming.
+
+## Prompt assembly + system prompt
+- System prompt is built from Clawdbot’s base prompt, skills prompt, bootstrap context, and per-run overrides.
+- Model-specific limits and compaction reserve tokens are enforced.
+- See [System prompt](/concepts/system-prompt) for what the model sees.
+
+## Streaming + partial replies
+- Assistant deltas are streamed from pi-agent-core and emitted as `assistant` events.
+- Block streaming can emit partial replies either on `text_end` or `message_end`.
+- Reasoning streaming can be emitted as a separate stream or as block replies.
+- See [Streaming](/concepts/streaming) for chunking and block reply behavior.
+
+## Tool execution + messaging tools
+- Tool start/update/end events are emitted on the `tool` stream.
+- Tool results are sanitized for size and image payloads before logging/emitting.
+- Messaging tool sends are tracked to suppress duplicate assistant confirmations.
+
+## Reply shaping + suppression
+- Final payloads are assembled from:
+  - assistant text (and optional reasoning)
+  - inline tool summaries (when verbose + allowed)
+  - assistant error text when the model errors
+- `NO_REPLY` is treated as a silent token and filtered from outgoing payloads.
+- Messaging tool duplicates are removed from the final payload list.
+- If no renderable payloads remain and a tool errored, a fallback tool error reply is emitted
+  (unless a messaging tool already sent a user-visible reply).
+
+## Compaction + retries
+- Auto-compaction emits `compaction` stream events and can trigger a retry.
+- On retry, in-memory buffers and tool summaries are reset to avoid duplicate output.
+- See [Compaction](/concepts/compaction) for the compaction pipeline.
+
 ## Event streams (today)
 - `lifecycle`: emitted by `subscribeEmbeddedPiSession` (and as a fallback by `agentCommand`)
 - `assistant`: streamed deltas from pi-agent-core

 # Agent Loop (Clawdbot)
 
-Short, exact flow of one agent run, plus the important internal stages.
+An agentic loop is the full “real” run of an agent: intake → context assembly → model inference →
+tool execution → streaming replies → persistence. It’s the authoritative path that turns a message
+into actions and a final reply, while keeping session state consistent.
+
+In Clawdbot, a loop is a single, serialized run per session that emits lifecycle and stream events
+as the model thinks, calls tools, and streams output. This doc explains how that authentic loop is
+wired end-to-end.
 
 ## Entry points
 - Gateway RPC: `agent` and `agent.wait`.
 - CLI: `agent` command.
 
-## High-level flow
+## How it works (high-level)
 1) `agent` RPC validates params, resolves session (sessionKey/sessionId), persists session metadata, returns `{ runId, acceptedAt }` immediately.
 2) `agentCommand` runs the agent:
    - resolves model + thinking/verbose defaults

+## Hook points (where you can intercept)
+Clawdbot has two hook systems:
+- **Internal hooks** (Gateway hooks): event-driven scripts for commands and lifecycle events.
+- **Plugin hooks**: extension points inside the agent/tool lifecycle and gateway pipeline.
+
+### Internal hooks (Gateway hooks)
+- **`agent:bootstrap`**: runs while building bootstrap files before the system prompt is finalized.
+  Use this to add/remove bootstrap context files.
+- **Command hooks**: `/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`, and other command events (see Hooks doc).
+
+See [Hooks](/hooks) for setup and examples.
+
+### Plugin hooks (agent + gateway lifecycle)
+These run inside the agent loop or gateway pipeline:

 - Assistant deltas are streamed from pi-agent-core and emitted as `assistant` events.
 - Block streaming can emit partial replies either on `text_end` or `message_end`.

+summary: "Audit what can spend money, which keys are used, and how to view usage"
+read_when:
+  - You want to understand which features may call paid APIs
+  - You need to audit keys, costs, and usage visibility
+  - You’re explaining /status or /usage cost reporting
+---
+# API usage & costs
+
+This doc lists **features that can invoke API keys** and where their costs show up. It focuses on
+Clawdbot features that can generate provider usage or paid API calls.
+
+## Where costs show up (chat + CLI)
+
+**Per-session cost snapshot**
+- `/status` shows the current session model, context usage, and last response tokens.
+- If the model uses **API-key auth**, `/status` also shows **estimated cost** for the last reply.
+
+**Per-message cost footer**
+- `/usage full` appends a usage footer to every reply, including **estimated cost** (API-key only).
+- `/usage tokens` shows tokens only; OAuth flows hide dollar cost.
+
+**CLI usage windows (provider quotas)**
+- `clawdbot status --usage` and `clawdbot channels list` show provider **usage windows**
+  (quota snapshots, not per-message costs).
+
+See [Token use & costs](/token-use) for details and examples.
+
+## How keys are discovered
+
+Clawdbot can pick up credentials from:
+- **Auth profiles** (per-agent, stored in `auth-profiles.json`).
+- **Environment variables** (e.g. `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `BRAVE_API_KEY`, `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`).
+- **Config** (`models.providers.*.apiKey`, `tools.web.search.*`, `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.*`,
+  `memorySearch.*`, `talk.apiKey`).
+- **Skills** (`skills.entries.<name>.apiKey`) which may export keys to the skill process env.
+
+## Features that can spend keys
+
+### 1) Core model responses (chat + tools)
+Every reply or tool call uses the **current model provider** (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc). This is the
+primary source of usage and cost.
+
+See [Models](/providers/models) for pricing config and [Token use & costs](/token-use) for display.
+
+### 2) Media understanding (audio/image/video)
+Inbound media can be summarized/transcribed before the reply runs. This uses model/provider APIs.
+
+- Audio: OpenAI / Groq / Deepgram (now **auto-enabled** when keys exist).
+- Image: OpenAI / Anthropic / Google.
+- Video: Google.
+
+See [Media understanding](/nodes/media-understanding).
+
+### 3) Memory embeddings + semantic search
+Semantic memory search uses **embedding APIs** when configured for remote providers:
+- `memorySearch.provider = "openai"` → OpenAI embeddings
+- `memorySearch.provider = "gemini"` → Gemini embeddings
+- Optional fallback to OpenAI if local embeddings fail
+
+You can keep it local with `memorySearch.provider = "local"` (no API usage).
+
+See [Memory](/concepts/memory).
+
+### 4) Web search tool (Brave / Perplexity via OpenRouter)
+`web_search` uses API keys and may incur usage charges:
+
+- **Brave Search API**: `BRAVE_API_KEY` or `tools.web.search.apiKey`
+- **Perplexity** (via OpenRouter): `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` or `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`
+
+**Brave free tier (generous):**
+- **2,000 requests/month**
+- **1 request/second**
+- **Credit card required** for verification (no charge unless you upgrade)
+
+See [Web tools](/tools/web).
+
+### 5) Web fetch tool (Firecrawl)
+`web_fetch` can call **Firecrawl** when an API key is present:
+- `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` or `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.apiKey`
+
+If Firecrawl isn’t configured, the tool falls back to direct fetch + readability (no paid API).
+
+See [Web tools](/tools/web).
+
+### 6) Provider usage snapshots (status/health)
+Some status commands call **provider usage endpoints** to display quota windows or auth health.
+These are typically low-volume calls but still hit provider APIs:
+- `clawdbot status --usage`
+- `clawdbot models status --json`
+
+See [Models CLI](/cli/models).
+
+### 7) Compaction safeguard summarization
+The compaction safeguard can summarize session history using the **current model**, which
+invokes provider APIs when it runs.
+
+See [Session management + compaction](/reference/session-management-compaction).
+
+### 8) Model scan / probe
+`clawdbot models scan` can probe OpenRouter models and uses `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` when
+probing is enabled.
+
+See [Models CLI](/cli/models).
+
+### 9) Talk (speech)
+Talk mode can invoke **ElevenLabs** when configured:
+- `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` or `talk.apiKey`
+
+See [Talk mode](/nodes/talk).
+
+### 10) Skills (third-party APIs)
+Skills can store `apiKey` in `skills.entries.<name>.apiKey`. If a skill uses that key for external
+APIs, it can incur costs according to the skill’s provider.
+
+See [Skills](/tools/skills).

+## HTTP mode (Events API)
+Use HTTP webhook mode when your Gateway is reachable by Slack over HTTPS (typical for server deployments).
+HTTP mode uses the Events API + Interactivity + Slash Commands with a shared request URL.
+
+### Setup
+1) Create a Slack app and **disable Socket Mode** (optional if you only use HTTP).
+2) **Basic Information** → copy the **Signing Secret**.
+3) **OAuth & Permissions** → install the app and copy the **Bot User OAuth Token** (`xoxb-...`).
+4) **Event Subscriptions** → enable events and set the **Request URL** to your gateway webhook path (default `/slack/events`).
+5) **Interactivity & Shortcuts** → enable and set the same **Request URL**.
+6) **Slash Commands** → set the same **Request URL** for your command(s).

+Example request URL:
+`https://gateway-host/slack/events`

+### Clawdbot config (minimal)
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    slack: {
+      enabled: true,

+      signingSecret: "your-signing-secret",
+      webhookPath: "/slack/events"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Multi-account HTTP mode: set `channels.slack.accounts.<id>.mode = "http"` and provide a unique
+`webhookPath` per account so each Slack app can point to its own URL.
+
+### Manifest (optional)
 Use this Slack app manifest to create the app quickly (adjust the name/command if you want). Include the
 user scopes if you plan to configure a user token.

 ### Fixes
 - Auth profiles: keep auto-pinned preference while allowing rotation on failover; user pins stay locked. (#1138) — thanks @cheeeee.
+- Agents: sanitize oversized image payloads before send and surface image-dimension errors.
 - macOS: avoid touching launchd in Remote over SSH so quitting the app no longer disables the remote gateway. (#1105)
 - Memory: index atomically so failed reindex preserves the previous memory database. (#1151)
 - Memory: avoid sqlite-vec unique constraint failures when reindexing duplicate chunk ids. (#1151)

+# `clawdbot approvals`
+
+Manage exec approvals for the **gateway host** or a **node host**.
+By default, commands target the gateway. Use `--node` to edit a node’s approvals.
+
+Related:
+- Exec approvals: [Exec approvals](/tools/exec-approvals)
+- Nodes: [Nodes](/nodes)
+
+## Common commands
+
+```bash
+clawdbot approvals get
+clawdbot approvals get --node <id|name|ip>
+```
+
+## Replace approvals from a file
+
+```bash
+clawdbot approvals set --file ./exec-approvals.json
+clawdbot approvals set --node <id|name|ip> --file ./exec-approvals.json

+clawdbot approvals allowlist add --agent main --node <id|name|ip> "/usr/bin/uptime"
+
+clawdbot approvals allowlist remove "~/Projects/**/bin/rg"
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- `--node` uses the same resolver as `clawdbot nodes` (id, name, ip, or id prefix).
+- The node host must advertise `system.execApprovals.get/set` (macOS app or headless node host).
+- Approvals files are stored per host at `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json`.

Subject: [PATCH 205/240] fix(voice-call): resolve StatusCallback with inline
 TwiML

- Switch from inline to URL-based TwiML for outbound calls
- Store TwiML content temporarily and serve on webhook request
- Add twimlStorage map and cleanup helper methods
- Fix TwiML serving to handle CallStatus='in-progress' on initial request

Closes #864

 # Github Copilot
 
+## What is GitHub Copilot?
+
+GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant. It provides access to Copilot
+models for your GitHub account and plan. Clawdbot can use Copilot as a model
+provider in two different ways.
+
+## Two ways to use Copilot in Clawdbot
+
+### 1) Built-in GitHub Copilot provider (`github-copilot`)
+
+Use the native device-login flow to obtain a GitHub token, then exchange it for
+Copilot API tokens when Clawdbot runs. This is the **default** and simplest path
+because it does not require VS Code.
+
+### 2) Copilot Proxy plugin (`copilot-proxy`)
+
+Use the **Copilot Proxy** VS Code extension as a local bridge. Clawdbot talks to
+the proxy’s `/v1` endpoint and uses the model list you configure there. Choose
+this when you already run Copilot Proxy in VS Code or need to route through it.
+You must enable the plugin and keep the VS Code extension running.
+
 Use GitHub Copilot as a model provider (`github-copilot`). The login command runs
 the GitHub device flow, saves an auth profile, and updates your config to use that
 profile.

 - Default behavior waits for batch completion; tune `remote.batch.wait`, `remote.batch.pollIntervalMs`, and `remote.batch.timeoutMinutes` if needed.
 - Set `remote.batch.concurrency` to control how many batch jobs we submit in parallel (default: 2).
-- Batch mode currently applies only when `memorySearch.provider = "openai"` and uses your OpenAI API key.

 Why OpenAI batch is fast + cheap:
 - For large backfills, OpenAI is typically the fastest option we support because we can submit many embedding requests in a single batch job and let OpenAI process them asynchronously.

 ## Options
 
-- `--verbose`: emit debug logs during memory probes and indexing.
-- `--index-mode auto|batch|direct`: override batch usage when indexing (`direct` favors speed; `batch` favors OpenAI Batch pricing).
-- `--progress auto|line|log|none`: progress output mode (`log` prints updates even without a TTY).
+Common:
+
+- `--agent <id>`: scope to a single agent (default: all configured agents).
+- `--verbose`: emit detailed logs during probes and indexing.
+
+Notes:
+- `memory status --deep` probes vector + embedding availability.
+- `memory status --deep --index` runs a reindex if the store is dirty.
+- `memory index --verbose` prints per-phase details (provider, model, sources, batch activity).

+
+```bash
+scripts/restart-mac.sh --no-sign   # fastest dev; ad-hoc signing (TCC permissions do not stick)
+scripts/restart-mac.sh --sign      # force code signing (requires cert)
+```
+
+## Packaging flow
+
+```bash
+scripts/package-mac-app.sh
+```
+
+Creates `dist/Clawdbot.app` and signs it via `scripts/codesign-mac-app.sh`.
+
+## Signing behavior
+
+Auto-selects identity (first match):
+1) Developer ID Application
+2) Apple Distribution
+3) Apple Development
+4) first available identity
+
+If none found:
+- errors by default
+- set `ALLOW_ADHOC_SIGNING=1` or `SIGN_IDENTITY="-"` to ad-hoc sign
+
+## Team ID audit (Sparkle mismatch guard)
+
+After signing, we read the app bundle Team ID and compare every Mach-O inside the app.
+If any embedded binary has a different Team ID, signing fails.
+
+Skip the audit:
+```bash
+SKIP_TEAM_ID_CHECK=1 scripts/package-mac-app.sh
+```
+
+## Library validation workaround (dev only)
+
+If Sparkle Team ID mismatch blocks loading (common with Apple Development certs), opt in:
+
+```bash
+DISABLE_LIBRARY_VALIDATION=1 scripts/package-mac-app.sh
+```
+
+This adds `com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation` to app entitlements.
+Use for local dev only; keep off for release builds.
+
+## Useful env flags
+
+- `SIGN_IDENTITY="Apple Development: Your Name (TEAMID)"`
+- `ALLOW_ADHOC_SIGNING=1` (ad-hoc, TCC permissions do not persist)
+- `CODESIGN_TIMESTAMP=off` (offline debug)
+- `DISABLE_LIBRARY_VALIDATION=1` (dev-only Sparkle workaround)

 Child‑process mode (Gateway spawned directly by the app) is **not in use** today.
 If you need tighter coupling to the UI, run the Gateway manually in a terminal.

 ### Changes
-- Exec approvals: add `clawdbot approvals` CLI for viewing and updating gateway/node allowlists.
-- CLI: add `clawdbot service` gateway/node management and a `clawdbot node status` alias.
-- Status: show gateway + node service summaries in `clawdbot status` and `status --all`.
-- Control UI: add gateway/node target selector for exec approvals.
-- Docs: add approvals/service references and refresh node/control UI docs.
-- Dependencies: update core + plugin deps (grammy, vitest, openai, Microsoft agents hosting, etc.).
 - macOS: switch PeekabooBridge integration to the tagged Swift Package Manager release (no submodule).
 - macOS: stop syncing Peekaboo as a git submodule in postinstall.
 - Swabble: use the tagged Commander Swift package release.

 - macOS: migrate exec approvals to `~/.clawdbot/exec-approvals.json` with per-agent allowlists and skill auto-allow toggle.
 - macOS: add approvals socket UI server + node exec lifecycle events.
 - Nodes: add headless node host (`clawdbot node start`) for `system.run`/`system.which`.
 - Nodes: add node daemon service install/status/start/stop/restart.
-- Hooks: run `BOOT.md` on gateway startup with the boot-md hook. (#1164) — thanks @ngutman.
-- Onboarding: list all eligible hooks with one-line descriptions in the enable step.
 - Bridge: add `skills.bins` RPC to support node host auto-allow skill bins.
 - Slash commands: replace `/cost` with `/usage off|tokens|full` to control per-response usage footer; `/usage` no longer aliases `/status`. (Supersedes #1140) — thanks @Nachx639.

+- macOS: add per-agent exec approvals with allowlists, skill CLI auto-allow, and settings UI.
+- Docs: add exec approvals guide and link from tools index. https://docs.clawd.bot/tools/exec-approvals
+
+### Fixes
+- Memory: apply OpenAI batch defaults even without explicit remote config.
+- macOS: bundle Textual resources in packaged app builds to avoid code block crashes. (#1006)
+- Tools: return a companion-app-required message when `system.run` is requested without a supporting node.
+- Discord: only emit slow listener warnings after 30s.

+What it does (high level):
+
+- Ensure Node.js **22+** (winget/Chocolatey/Scoop or manual).
+- Choose install method:
+  - `npm` (default): `npm install -g clawdbot@latest`
+  - `git`: clone/build a source checkout and install a wrapper script
+- Runs `clawdbot doctor --non-interactive` on upgrades and git installs (best effort).
+
+Examples:
+
+```powershell
+iwr -useb https://clawd.bot/install.ps1 | iex
+```
+
+```powershell
+iwr -useb https://clawd.bot/install.ps1 | iex -InstallMethod git

+Environment variables:

+- `CLAWDBOT_INSTALL_METHOD=git|npm`
+- `CLAWDBOT_GIT_DIR=...`
+
+Git requirement:
+
+If you choose `-InstallMethod git` and Git is missing, the installer will print the
+Git for Windows link (`https://git-scm.com/download/win`) and exit.

Subject: [PATCH 239/240] fix(configure): filter openrouter/auto from model
 selection list

The openrouter/auto model is OpenRouter's internal routing feature,
not a callable model. While it's valid as a default (set automatically
during OpenRouter auth flow), showing it in the configure wizard's
model selection causes "Unknown model: openrouter/auto" errors when
users select it manually.

Add a HIDDEN_ROUTER_MODELS set to filter out such internal models
from the selection list while preserving existing functionality.

Fixes #1115
