-For direct requests, the only escape hatch is `configure_ssrf_whitelist(cidrs)`, which reads from `config.tools.ssrf_whitelist` at load time. An explicitly configured `providers.<name>.proxy` is a separate user-authorized trust boundary for provider requests and provider-returned image URL downloads. Those downloads still reject malformed URLs and locally identifiable private/internal targets on every redirect, but hostnames unavailable to local DNS are delegated to the trusted proxy. The user-selected proxy owns final DNS resolution and network egress policy.
+The only escape hatch is `configure_ssrf_whitelist(cidrs)`, which reads from `config.tools.ssrf_whitelist` at load time.
 
 HTTP/SSE MCP transports are part of this boundary: validate configured MCP URLs before probing or constructing clients, and validate each outgoing HTTP request before redirects are followed. Local/private HTTP MCP endpoints are allowed only through the explicit SSRF whitelist. Stdio MCP servers are not part of the HTTP SSRF path.

 ## 🚀 Quick Start
 
-**Open nanobot in your browser**
+**1. Initialize**
+
+Skip this step if the one-command setup already started the wizard and Quick Start finished there.
 
 ```bash
-nanobot webui
+nanobot onboard
 ```
 
-This is the recommended first run. The launcher creates the config and workspace when needed, safely enables the local WebSocket channel after confirmation, starts the gateway, and opens [`http://127.0.0.1:8765`](http://127.0.0.1:8765). A fresh install can open before a model is configured, so setup continues in the browser instead of beginning in a JSON file. The first-run WebUI binds to localhost by default and is not exposed to your LAN.
+Use `nanobot onboard --wizard` if you prefer an interactive setup.
 
-**Your first three steps**
+**2. Configure** (`~/.nanobot/config.json`)
 
-1. Open **Settings → Models** and choose a provider, credential, and model.
+Skip this step if you already configured provider and model settings in the wizard.
-2. Start a new topic and send `Hello!` to verify the connection.
-3. Before project work, choose the intended workspace and access mode from the composer.
 
-Any normal reply means the provider, model, workspace, and browser gateway are working together.
+`nanobot onboard` creates `~/.nanobot/config.json` and `~/.nanobot/workspace/`. Configure these **two parts** in the config file. Add or merge the following blocks into the existing file instead of replacing the whole file.
 
-**Keep nanobot running after you close the terminal**
+The example below uses a generic OpenAI-compatible `custom` provider so the compact path does not recommend one hosted service. Provider examples are recipes, not rankings or endorsements. For copyable provider-specific setup, see [Provider Cookbook](./docs/provider-cookbook.md).
 
-```bash
+*Set your API key*:
-nanobot webui --background
+
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "custom": {
+      "apiKey": "your-api-key",
+      "apiBase": "https://api.example.com/v1"
+    }
+  }
+}
 ```
 
-This starts the same full gateway as `nanobot webui`, opens the browser, and leaves channels and automations running after the launcher exits. Complete first-time model setup with foreground `nanobot webui` before switching to background mode.
+*Set a model preset and make it active*:
 
-```bash
+```json
-nanobot gateway status
+{
-nanobot gateway logs
+  "modelPresets": {
-nanobot gateway restart
+    "primary": {
-nanobot gateway stop
+      "label": "Primary",
+      "provider": "custom",
+      "model": "model-id-from-your-provider",
+      "maxTokens": 8192,
+      "contextWindowTokens": 200000,
+      "temperature": 0.1
+    }
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "primary"
+    }
+  }
+}
 ```
 
-**Prefer a gateway-first workflow?**
+Direct `agents.defaults.provider` and `agents.defaults.model` still work for existing configs, but named presets are the recommended path because they also power `/model` switching and `fallbackModels`.
+
+For another provider, the same config shape still applies:
+
+| Replace | Where |
+|---|---|
+| Provider config key | `providers.<provider>` |
+| API key | `providers.<provider>.apiKey` |
+| Preset provider name | `modelPresets.primary.provider` |
+| Model ID | `modelPresets.primary.model` |
+| Endpoint URL, only when needed | `providers.<provider>.apiBase` |
+
+**3. Open the WebUI**
+
+The stable-compatible path is:
 
 ```bash
 nanobot gateway
 ```
 
-This skips WebUI setup and browser opening, then runs the same complete gateway in the current terminal. It is the familiar entry point if you are coming from OpenClaw or already operate agents as long-lived services. The WebUI remains available when its channel is configured; open it manually when needed.
+Leave the terminal open and visit `http://127.0.0.1:8765`. Current source versions also provide `nanobot webui`, which prepares the local WebSocket channel if needed, starts the gateway, and opens the browser automatically. The first-run WebUI binds to `127.0.0.1` by default, so it is not exposed to your LAN. Prefer not to keep a terminal open? Use `nanobot gateway --background`, then manage it with `nanobot gateway status`, `logs`, `restart`, and `stop`.
 
-Use `nanobot gateway --background` for the same direct entry point without keeping the terminal attached. For automatic startup and supervision by the operating system, see [Deployment](./docs/deployment.md).
+For manual or terminal-only setup, test one CLI message:
 
-**Prefer to work entirely in the terminal?**
+```bash
+nanobot status
+nanobot agent -m "Hello!"
+```
+
+In `nanobot status`, it is normal for most providers to say `not set`. The active preset's provider should be configured, and `Config` plus `Workspace` should show check marks.
+
+If that works, start an interactive chat:
 
 ```bash
 nanobot agent
 ```
 
-This opens an interactive terminal chat with the same configured model, workspace, and tools while keeping its own CLI session history. It does not open a browser or keep chat channels and automations running after you exit. Type `exit` or press `Ctrl+C` when you are done.
+Need help with `PATH`, API keys, provider/model matching, or JSON errors? See the fuller [Install and Quick Start](./docs/quick-start.md) and [Troubleshooting](./docs/troubleshooting.md).
-
-For one request and an immediate exit, use:
-
-```bash
-nanobot agent -m "Hello!"
-```
-
-The one-shot form is useful for a quick provider check, shell scripts, and local automation. If you have not configured a model yet, run `nanobot webui` and open **Settings → Models** first.

-See the [WebUI guide](./docs/webui.md) for LAN access, background operation, workspace controls, and the full feature tour. Working on the frontend itself? Use [`webui/README.md`](./webui/README.md).
+On current source versions, the command enables the local WebSocket channel after confirmation, starts the gateway, and opens [`http://127.0.0.1:8765`](http://127.0.0.1:8765). If your installed stable release does not include `nanobot webui`, run `nanobot gateway` and open that address manually. To open it from another device on your LAN, see [WebUI docs -> LAN access](./docs/webui.md#lan-access).
+
+The WebUI is served by the WebSocket channel on port `8765` by default. The gateway's `18790` port is for the health endpoint, not the browser UI.

After the WebUI opens, use **Settings** for models and built-in capabilities, **Settings → Channels** for chat apps, and **Apps** for CLI App or MCP integrations.

-# How to Improve Ollama Tool-Calling Prompt Cache Reuse in nanobot
-
-Some Ollama model templates move or remove tool definitions as a conversation
-switches between user, assistant, and tool messages. nanobot can send a correct
-append-only chat request while the model template still renders a different token
-prefix. On slower local hardware, re-evaluating that prefix can add tens of seconds
-to an otherwise simple tool-using turn.
-
-This guide shows how to diagnose that specific pattern and create a derived
-`llama3.1:8b` tag with a prefix-stable tool template. It does not modify nanobot or
-overwrite the original Ollama model.
-
-## What you will build
-
-- a repeatable two-turn cache check
-- an optional derived `llama3.1:8b-prefix-stable-v1` Ollama tag
-- a nanobot model preset that uses the derived tag
-
-## When to use this
-
-Use this guide when all of the following are true:
-
-- direct Ollama responses are reasonably fast;
-- nanobot becomes slow after the model calls a tool;
-- Ollama logs show a long main prompt, a much shorter tool follow-up, and low
-  initial cache reuse on the next main prompt;
-- the model is `llama3.1:8b` with a template that renders concrete tools only for
-  the final user message.
-
-Do not apply this template to another model family without checking that model's
-tool-call format first.
-
-## Diagnose the rendered prompt
-
-Stop any existing Ollama process, then start a single-slot debug server. A single
-slot makes the cache sequence easier to read.
-
-**macOS or Linux**
-
-```bash
-OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH=16384 \
-OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=1 \
-OLLAMA_DEBUG=1 \
-ollama serve
-```
-
-**Windows PowerShell**
-
-```powershell
-$env:OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH = "16384"
-$env:OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL = "1"
-$env:OLLAMA_DEBUG = "1"
-ollama serve
-```
-
-In another terminal, use a fresh session and explicitly request a tool so both
-turns exercise the agent loop:
-
-```bash
-nanobot agent --session cli:ollama-cache-check \
-  --message "Use the exec tool to calculate 2+2, then answer"
-nanobot agent --session cli:ollama-cache-check \
-  --message "Use the exec tool to calculate 4+7, then answer"
-```
-
-In the Ollama output, find each `new prompt` line and the first
-`cached n_tokens` line that follows it. Later increasing `cached n_tokens` lines
-are prompt-evaluation progress, not additional initial cache hits.
-
-A cache-unfriendly tool template may produce a pattern like this:
-
-```text
-turn 1 main:             2 / 8460 initially cached
-turn 1 tool follow-up: 3713 / 3758 initially cached
-turn 2 main:          3767 / 8519 initially cached
-```
-
-The cache is working, but the next main request can reuse only the shorter prompt.
-Hardware throughput determines how expensive the remaining evaluation is.
-
-To inspect the API request bodies as well, add
-`OLLAMA_DEBUG_LOG_REQUESTS=1` before starting Ollama. These logs can contain system
-prompts, workspace context, and user messages. Keep them local and disable request
-logging after diagnosis.
-
-## Why this happens with the stock template
-
-The tested `llama3.1:8b` template conditionally expands the tool definitions inside
-a user message:
-
-```gotemplate
-{{- if and $.Tools $last }}
-  ... render tool definitions ...
-{{- end }}
-```
-
-The first request ends with a user message, so the tools are rendered there. After
-nanobot appends an assistant tool call and its result, that user message is no
-longer last, so the same API request history renders without the concrete tool
-block. On the next user turn, the tools reappear at a new position.
-
-This is a model-template behavior. At the API boundary, nanobot continues to append
-the assistant tool call and tool result and sends the same tool definitions.
-
-## Create a prefix-stable derived model
-
-Create `PrefixStable.Modelfile` with the content below. The template keeps concrete
-tool definitions in the system block, where they remain in the same position across
-user and tool messages.
-
-```dockerfile
-FROM llama3.1:8b
-
-TEMPLATE """{{- if or .System .Tools }}<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

-You are a helpful assistant with tool calling capabilities.
-
-Given the following functions, respond with a JSON function call with the proper arguments when a tool is needed.
-
-Respond in the format {"name": function name, "parameters": dictionary of argument name and its value}. Do not use variables.

-```
-
-Create the new tag:
-
-```bash
-ollama create llama3.1:8b-prefix-stable-v1 -f PrefixStable.Modelfile
-ollama list
-```
-
-Ollama reuses the existing model layers. The new tag adds a small template and
-manifest instead of copying the base weights.
-
-## Select the derived model in nanobot
-
-Merge this preset into `~/.nanobot/config.json` and select it:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "ollama": {
-      "apiBase": "http://localhost:11434/v1"
-    }
-  },
-  "modelPresets": {

-      "label": "Ollama Llama 3.1 prefix-stable",
-      "provider": "ollama",
-      "model": "llama3.1:8b-prefix-stable-v1",
-      "maxTokens": 2048,
-      "contextWindowTokens": 16384,
-      "temperature": 0.1
-    }
-  },
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "modelPreset": "ollamaPrefixStable"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Verify the selected model and repeat the two-turn check:
-
-```bash
-nanobot status
-nanobot agent --session cli:ollama-stable-check \
-  --message "Use the exec tool to calculate 2+2, then answer"
-nanobot agent --session cli:ollama-stable-check \
-  --message "Use the exec tool to calculate 4+7, then answer"
-```
-
-In one controlled test with Ollama 0.32.1, `llama3.1:8b`, and one slot, the second
-main request improved from `3767 / 8519` initially cached (44.22%) to
-`8505 / 8520` (99.82%). The number of re-evaluated tokens fell from 4752 to 15.
-Treat these numbers as a diagnostic example, not a performance guarantee.
-
-## Roll back
-
-Switch `agents.defaults.modelPreset` back to the original preset. When no config
-uses the derived tag, remove it with:
-
-```bash
-ollama rm llama3.1:8b-prefix-stable-v1
-```
-
-Removing the derived tag does not remove `llama3.1:8b`.
-
-## Limitations
-
-- The template above is specific to the tested `llama3.1:8b` tool-call format.
-- Ollama or the model publisher may update the stock template in a later release.
-- Validate multiple tool calls, tool errors, parallel calls, and long conversations
-  before using a custom template for unattended workloads.
-- A higher cache ratio reduces prompt evaluation, but model generation, tool
-  execution, process startup, and storage can still dominate end-to-end latency.
-- Multiple Ollama slots change cache scheduling and may produce different results.

-### Slow Optional Channel Dependency Installation
-
-Before loading enabled channels, the gateway checks the dependencies declared by their
-channel manifests. The CLI and WebUI normally install these dependencies when a channel is
-enabled. Installation during startup is a recovery path for an enabled config whose Python
-environment no longer has the required packages, for example after manually editing the
-config, upgrading nanobot, or recreating an isolated `uv tool`/`pipx` environment. The
-gateway waits for the install so an enabled channel is not silently skipped; later starts
-skip the installation once the dependencies are present.
-
-If access to PyPI is slow in your region, configure pip to use a trusted package index. The
-installer honors the standard `PIP_INDEX_URL` environment variable, including when nanobot
-itself was installed with `uv tool`:
-
-```bash
-PIP_INDEX_URL=https://your-trusted-mirror.example/simple nanobot gateway
-```
-
-For the systemd user service created by `nanobot gateway install-service`, add a drop-in:
-
-```bash
-systemctl --user edit nanobot-gateway.service
-```
-
-```ini
-[Service]
-Environment="PIP_INDEX_URL=https://your-trusted-mirror.example/simple"
-```
-
-Then reload and restart the service:
-
-```bash
-systemctl --user daemon-reload
-systemctl --user restart nanobot-gateway.service

-
-For a system-level or custom service, use `sudo systemctl edit <unit>` instead. Prefer an
-HTTPS index operated by an organization you trust, and do not put index credentials in
