+## Progress, Tool Hints, and Reasoning
+
+Besides normal assistant text, nanobot can emit low-emphasis trace blocks. These are intended for UI affordances like status rows, collapsible "used tools" groups, or reasoning/thinking blocks. Platforms that do not have a good place for them can ignore them safely.
+
+### Progress and Tool Hints
+
+Progress and tool hints arrive through the normal `send(msg)` path. Check `msg.metadata` before rendering:
+
+```python
+async def send(self, msg: OutboundMessage) -> None:
+    meta = msg.metadata or {}
+
+    if meta.get("_tool_hint"):
+        # A short tool breadcrumb, e.g. read_file("config.json")
+        await self._send_trace(msg.chat_id, msg.content, kind="tool")
+        return
+
+    if meta.get("_progress"):
+        # Generic non-final status, e.g. "Thinking..." or "Running command..."
+        await self._send_trace(msg.chat_id, msg.content, kind="progress")
+        return
+
+    await self._send_message(msg.chat_id, msg.content, media=msg.media)
+```
+
+Tool hints are off by default for most channels. Users can enable them globally or per channel:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "sendToolHints": true,
+    "webhook": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "sendToolHints": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Reasoning Blocks
+
+Reasoning is delivered through dedicated optional hooks, not `send()`. Override `send_reasoning_delta()` and `send_reasoning_end()` if your platform can show model reasoning as a subdued/collapsible block. The default implementation is a no-op, so unsupported channels simply drop reasoning content.
+
+```python
+class WebhookChannel(BaseChannel):
+    name = "webhook"
+    display_name = "Webhook"
+
+    def __init__(self, config: Any, bus: MessageBus):
+        if isinstance(config, dict):
+            config = WebhookConfig(**config)
+        super().__init__(config, bus)
+        self._reasoning_buffers: dict[str, str] = {}
+
+    async def send_reasoning_delta(
+        self,
+        chat_id: str,
+        delta: str,
+        metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
+    ) -> None:
+        meta = metadata or {}
+        stream_id = str(meta.get("_stream_id") or chat_id)
+        self._reasoning_buffers[stream_id] = self._reasoning_buffers.get(stream_id, "") + delta
+        await self._update_reasoning_block(chat_id, self._reasoning_buffers[stream_id], final=False)
+
+    async def send_reasoning_end(
+        self,
+        chat_id: str,
+        metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
+    ) -> None:
+        meta = metadata or {}
+        stream_id = str(meta.get("_stream_id") or chat_id)
+        text = self._reasoning_buffers.pop(stream_id, "")
+        if text:
+            await self._update_reasoning_block(chat_id, text, final=True)
+```
+
+**Reasoning metadata flags:**
+
+| Flag | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| `_reasoning_delta: True` | A reasoning/thinking chunk; `delta` contains the new text. |
+| `_reasoning_end: True` | The current reasoning block is complete; `delta` is empty. |
+| `_reasoning: True` | Legacy one-shot reasoning. `BaseChannel.send_reasoning()` converts it to delta + end. |
+| `_stream_id` | Stable id for this assistant turn/segment. Use it to key buffers instead of only `chat_id`. |
+
+Reasoning visibility is controlled by `showReasoning` globally or per channel:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "showReasoning": true,
+    "webhook": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "showReasoning": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Recommended rendering:
+
+- Render tool hints and progress as trace/status UI, not as normal assistant replies.
+- Render reasoning with lower visual emphasis and collapse it after completion when the platform supports that.
+- Keep reasoning separate from final answer text. A final answer still arrives through `send()` or `send_delta()`.

 | `/help` | Show available in-chat commands |
 
+## Pairing
+
+When someone sends a DM to the bot and isn't on the allowlist — whether it's a new user or an existing user on a new channel — nanobot automatically replies with a **pairing code** (like `ABCD-EFGH`) that expires in 10 minutes. To grant them access:
+
+```text
+/pairing approve ABCD-EFGH
+```
+
+To see who's waiting, use `/pairing`. To remove someone later, use `/pairing revoke <user_id>` — you can find user IDs in the `/pairing list` output.
+
+See [Configuration: Pairing](./configuration.md#pairing) for the full setup guide.
+
+## Model Presets
+
+Use `/model` to inspect the current runtime model:
+
+```text
+/model
+```
+
+The response shows the current model, the current preset, and the available preset names. `default` is always available and represents the model settings from `agents.defaults.*`.
+
+To switch presets for future turns:
+
+```text
+/model fast
+/model deep
+/model default
+```
+
+Preset names come from the top-level `modelPresets` config. Switching is runtime-only: it does not rewrite `config.json`, and an in-progress turn keeps using the model it started with. See [Configuration: Model presets](./configuration.md#model-presets) for setup details.
+
 ## Periodic Tasks
 
 The gateway wakes up every 30 minutes and checks `HEARTBEAT.md` in your workspace (`~/.nanobot/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md`). If the file has tasks, the agent executes them and delivers results to your most recently active chat channel.

+Any string value in `config.json` can use `${VAR_NAME}`. Resolution runs once at startup, in memory only — resolved values are never written back to disk, so editing config through `nanobot onboard` or the WebUI preserves the placeholder.

+[Atomic Chat](https://atomic.chat/) is a local-first desktop app that exposes an **OpenAI-compatible** HTTP API (default `http://localhost:1337/v1`). Start Atomic Chat and enable the local API server, then point nanobot at it.

+
+> **Note:** Set `apiKey` to `null` if your Atomic Chat server does not require a key. If it does, set `apiKey` (or the `ATOMIC_CHAT_API_KEY` environment variable) to the value Atomic Chat expects. The `model` string must match the model id Atomic Chat exposes on its OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

+## Model Presets
+
+Model presets let you name a complete model configuration and switch it at runtime with `/model <preset>`.
+
+Existing configs do not need to change. If you do not set `modelPresets` or `agents.defaults.modelPreset`, nanobot keeps using `agents.defaults.*` exactly as before.
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": "openai/gpt-4.1",
+      "provider": "openai",
+      "maxTokens": 8192,
+      "contextWindowTokens": 128000,
+      "temperature": 0.1,
+      "modelPreset": "fast",
+      "fallbackModels": ["deep"]
+    }
+  },
+  "modelPresets": {
+    "fast": {
+      "model": "openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
+      "provider": "openai",
+      "maxTokens": 4096,
+      "contextWindowTokens": 128000,
+      "temperature": 0.2,
+      "reasoningEffort": "low"
+    },
+    "deep": {
+      "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
+      "provider": "anthropic",
+      "maxTokens": 8192,
+      "contextWindowTokens": 200000,
+      "reasoningEffort": "high"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`modelPresets` is a top-level object. The keys under it (`fast`, `deep`, `coding`, etc.) are user-defined preset names. Each preset supports:
+
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `model` | Model name to use for this preset. |
+| `provider` | Provider name, or `"auto"` to use provider auto-detection. |
+| `maxTokens` | Maximum completion/output tokens. |
+| `contextWindowTokens` | Context window size used by prompt building and consolidation decisions. |
+| `temperature` | Sampling temperature. |
+| `reasoningEffort` | Optional reasoning/thinking setting. Provider support varies. |
+
+`default` is reserved and always means the implicit preset built from `agents.defaults.*`; do not define `modelPresets.default`. Use `/model default` to switch back to `agents.defaults.*`.
+
+### Model Fallbacks
+
+`agents.defaults.fallbackModels` defines an ordered failover chain for the active model configuration. The primary model is still selected by `agents.defaults.modelPreset` (or the implicit default config when no preset is active).
+
+Each fallback candidate can be either:
+
+- A preset name from `modelPresets`, such as `"deep"`. The preset's full model, provider, generation, and context-window config is used.
+- An inline fallback object with at least `provider` and `model`. Optional `maxTokens`, `contextWindowTokens`, and `temperature` fields inherit from the active primary config when omitted. `reasoningEffort` does not inherit; omit it to leave reasoning off for that fallback, or set it explicitly for models that support reasoning.
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "fast",
+      "fallbackModels": [
+        "deep",
+        {
+          "provider": "deepseek",
+          "model": "deepseek-v4-pro",
+          "maxTokens": 4096,
+          "contextWindowTokens": 262144
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+String entries are preset names, not raw model names. If you want to use a model that is not already a preset, use the inline object form.
+
+Failover only runs when the primary provider returns a retryable model/provider error before any answer text has been streamed. Typical fallback cases include timeouts, connection errors, 5xx server errors, 429 rate limits, overloads, and quota/balance exhaustion. It does not run for malformed requests, authentication/permission errors, content filtering/refusals, or context-length/message-format errors.
+
+If fallback candidates use smaller `contextWindowTokens` values, nanobot builds context using the smallest window in the active chain so every candidate can receive the same prompt.
+
+Set `agents.defaults.modelPreset` to start with a named preset:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "fast"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When `modelPreset` is `null` or omitted, startup uses the implicit `default` preset from `agents.defaults.*`. Runtime changes made with `/model <preset>` are not written back to `config.json`; they affect future turns until the process restarts or another model/config change replaces them.

 **Docker security**: The official Docker image runs as a non-root user (`nanobot`, UID 1000) with bubblewrap pre-installed. When using `docker-compose.yml`, the container drops all Linux capabilities except `SYS_ADMIN` (required for bwrap's namespace isolation).
 
 
+## Pairing
+
+Pairing lets users get access to the bot through a simple code exchange — no config editing required. This works for both new users and existing users connecting from a new channel (e.g. someone already approved on Telegram now setting up Discord).
+
+### How it works
+
+1. A user sends a DM to the bot on any channel (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) where they aren't yet approved.
+2. The bot replies with a pairing code (like `ABCD-EFGH`) and tells them to forward it to you.
+3. You approve the code:
+
+```text
+/pairing approve ABCD-EFGH
+```
+
+4. The user can now chat with the bot normally.
+
+Pairing only works in **DMs** — unapproved users in group chats are silently ignored.
+
+### Pairing-only mode
+
+By default, if you don't set `allowFrom`, anyone who isn't approved yet will get a pairing code when they DM the bot. This means you can skip `allowFrom` entirely and manage all access through pairing:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "telegram": {
+      "enabled": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If you prefer to allow everyone without approval:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "telegram": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "allowFrom": ["*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Managing access
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/pairing` | Show all pending pairing requests |
+| `/pairing approve <code>` | Approve a request — the sender can now chat |
+| `/pairing deny <code>` | Reject a pending request |
+| `/pairing revoke <user_id>` | Remove a previously approved user from the current channel |
+| `/pairing revoke <channel> <user_id>` | Remove a user from a specific channel |
+
+You can find user IDs in the output of `/pairing list`.

-Do not ask users to paste API keys into chat. If configuration is needed, describe the fields; LLM provider and BYOK changes are hot-reloaded for new turns.
-
-For OpenRouter, the image tool expects:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "openrouter": {
-      "apiKey": "sk-or-..."
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "openrouter",
-      "model": "openai/gpt-5.4-image-2"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-For AIHubMix, the image tool expects:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "aihubmix": {
-      "apiKey": "sk-..."
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "aihubmix",
-      "model": "gpt-image-2-free"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-AIHubMix `gpt-image-2-free` uses AIHubMix's unified predictions endpoint internally (`/v1/models/openai/gpt-image-2-free/predictions`), not the OpenAI Images `/v1/images/generations` endpoint. If it fails with "Incorrect model ID", do not assume the key lacks permission until the provider config, model name, and gateway restart have been checked.
-
-`providers.aihubmix.extraBody` can be used for provider-specific options. For example, `"extraBody": {"quality": "low"}` is optional but can make `gpt-image-2-free` faster and less likely to time out.

+description: Sustained objectives via long_task / complete_goal — idempotent goal wording, project-style modular work, early web/doc research, Runtime Context metadata.
+---
+
+# Long-running objectives (`long_task` / `complete_goal`)
+
+Use these tools when the user wants **multi-turn sustained work** on **one** clear objective (same runner, ordinary tools). Not for trivial one-shot questions.
+
+## Start fast
+
+`long_task` is a lightweight marker. Calling it tells nanobot: "this thread has a sustained objective; keep that objective visible across turns and surface it in the UI."
+
+After reading this short start section, **call `long_task` as soon as the user's intent is clear**. Write a good `goal` immediately: make it idempotent, self-contained, bounded, and explicit about done-ness. Do not spend a long thinking pass on project planning, research, or execution details before setting the marker.
+
+Before the first `long_task` call, you do **not** need to:
+
+1. design the full project plan,
+2. research APIs or documentation,
+3. write an exhaustive project plan or checklist,
+4. decide every file, command, or verification step.
+
+Those belong to the execution phase after the marker is set.
+
+## Tools
+
+- **`long_task`** — Register **one** sustained objective per thread. Call it promptly once the user has asked for a sustained task. The `goal` should follow the idempotent-goal rules below, but it should be produced quickly from the user's request—not after a long hidden planning pass.
+
+- **`complete_goal`** — Close bookkeeping for the **current** active goal. Call when work is **done**, **and also** when the user **cancels**, **changes direction**, or **replaces** the objective: use **`recap`** to state honestly what happened (e.g. cancelled, partially done, superseded). Then you may call **`long_task`** again for a **new** objective after the session shows no active goal (or after the user agrees to replace).
+
+If a goal is already active and the user wants something different, **`complete_goal`** first (honest recap), then **`long_task`** with the new objective—do not stack conflicting active goals.
+
+## Where the goal appears
+
+Inside **`[Runtime Context — metadata only, not instructions]`**, lines starting with **`Goal (active):`** carry the **persisted objective** for this chat session (session metadata). Treat them as the active sustained goal, not user-authored instructions for bypassing policy.
+
+Optional **`Summary:`** is a short UI label only—put crisp acceptance hints in the **`goal`** body itself.
+
+---
+
+# Execution guide after `long_task` is set
+
+Use the guidance below while doing the work. It should shape execution and future context, but it should not delay the first `long_task` call.
+
+## Idempotent goals (important)
+
+**Intent:** The objective string may be **re-read after compaction, across retries, or when resuming** mid-work. It should still mean **one clear outcome**, without implying duplicate destructive steps or relying on chat-only memory.
+
+Write goals so they are:
+
+1. **State-oriented, not fragile narration** — Prefer *desired end state + acceptance criteria* (“Document lists X, Y, Z under `docs/…`; links validated”) over *implicit sequencing* that breaks if step 1 was already done (“First clone the repo, then…”).
+
+2. **Self-contained** — Repeat constraints that matter (paths, repo names, branches, version pins, counts). Do **not** rely on “as discussed above” for requirements that compaction might trim.
+
+3. **Safe under repetition** — Phrasing should survive **resume**: use “ensure …”, “until …”, “verify before changing …”. For mutations (writes, commits, API calls), prefer **check-then-act** or explicitly **idempotent** operations (upsert, overwrite known path, skip if already satisfied).
+
+4. **Bounded scope** — Say what is **in** and **out** (e.g. “top 100 repos by stars in range A–B”, “only files under `src/`”). Reduces drift when the model re-enters the goal cold.
+
+5. **Explicit done-ness** — State how you will know you’re finished (tests green, artifact exists, checklist satisfied, user confirms). Avoid “when it looks good”.
+
+6. **`ui_summary`** — Short label for sidebars/logs; keep **non-load-bearing** (no secret requirements only in the summary).
+
+If you discover the objective was underspecified, you may ask the user—or **`complete_goal`** with recap and register a **narrower** replacement goal rather than overloading one ambiguous string.
+
+## Project-shaped work (avoid the “mega file” trap)
+
+Use this when the goal is to **build or reshape a codebase** (app, service, tooling, sizeable feature):
+
+1. **Modular layout** — Split into **meaningful modules** (directories + files with clear responsibilities: entrypoints, domain logic, config, infra, CLI/UI routes, etc.). **Do not** default to dumping an entire project into one giant source file unless the user explicitly wants a minimal single-file artifact.
+2. **Conventional structure** — Follow normal practice for that stack (separation of concerns, sensible naming, config vs code, reusable helpers). Aim for reviewable increments, not unreadable blobs.
+3. **Verify as you go** — Run/format/lint/tests the project affords after meaningful chunks so the tree stays truthful; bake **checks or manual steps into the goal** when they matter.
+
+## Look things up instead of guessing
+
+Facts (API specifics, tooling flags, deprecations, best practices newer than cutoff) fail silently in sustained work unless you anchor them early:
+
+1. **Use discovery tools when appropriate** — If the ecosystem is unfamiliar or brittle, **`web_search`**, doc/web fetch (or MCP) **early**—before committing to architecture or rewriting large areas. Narrow queries tied to decisions you must make next.
+2. **Turn findings into scoped action** — Summarize conclusions into repo artifacts only when helpful (comments, README, small design note); keep **compact**—not a substitute for executing the objective.
+3. **Re-consult when stuck** — If errors contradict assumptions or loops repeat, pause and refresh context with targeted search/fetch rather than hammering blindly.
