feat(feishu): per-message session for group top-level messages

Align with deer-flow: group top-level messages (no root_id) now get their own session keyed by message_id instead of sharing a single group-wide session. Topic replies continue to share session via root_id.
chore(test): remove stale reaction_id from test metadata

-# Design Constraints
-
-These rules govern architectural decisions. When adding a feature or fixing a bug, prefer paths that respect these boundaries.
-
-## Core stays small; extend at the edges
-
-New capabilities should be added via `channels/`, `tools/`, skills, or MCP servers. The files `agent/loop.py` and `agent/runner.py` form the critical core path; changes there should be minimal and justified. If a feature can live in a channel adapter, a tool, or an external MCP server, it should not be inlined into the agent loop.
-
-## Less structure, more intelligence
-
-Prefer simple, readable code over new framework layers and indirection. Add structure only when it removes real complexity, protects an important boundary, or matches an established local pattern. The best fix is often a smaller prompt, a tighter tool contract, a channel-local change, or one focused regression test.
-
-## Prefer duplication over premature abstraction
-
-Channels and providers are allowed to repeat similar logic (send retries, media handling, message splitting). Do not introduce complex base classes or shared helpers just to eliminate duplication across channel files. Each channel file should remain self-contained and readable on its own. The same applies to provider implementations.
-
-## Minimal change that solves the real problem
-
-Fix bugs by changing only what is necessary. Do not bundle unrelated refactors or clean-ups into a feature or bugfix PR. If a refactor is genuinely required, it should be a separate PR targeting `nightly`.
-
-## Keep PRs reviewable
-
-A bugfix should make the protected invariant clear, change the smallest surface that enforces it, and add only the closest regression test. If a diff starts changing ownership boundaries or mixing behavior changes with clean-up, split it before it becomes hard to review.
-
-## Explicit over magical
-
-Configuration must be declared explicitly in `config/schema.py` Pydantic models. Error handling should raise clear exceptions rather than silently correcting bad input. Provider auto-detection exists, but every resolution path must be traceable from the factory to the concrete provider class.
@@ -1,40 +0,0 @@
-# Common Gotchas
-
-## Do not use `ruff format`
-
-`CONTRIBUTING.md` mentions `ruff format`, but **do not run it** — it destroys git blame history. Only `ruff check` should be used.
-
-## Config `${VAR}` References
-
-`config/loader.py` resolves `${VAR}` patterns in `config.json` at load time. This is **not** a shell-like default-value syntax. If the environment variable is missing, `load_config` raises `ValueError` and the agent falls back to default configuration.
-
-Example valid usage:
-```json
-{ "providers": { "openrouter": { "apiKey": "${OPENROUTER_KEY}" } } }
-```
-
-## Windows Compatibility
-
-nanobot explicitly supports Windows. Key differences to keep in mind:
- `ExecTool` uses `cmd /c` on Windows instead of `sh -c` (`shell.py`).
- `cli/commands.py` forces `sys.stdout`/`stderr` to UTF-8 on startup to handle emoji and multilingual input.
- MCP stdio server commands are normalized for Windows path separators (`mcp.py`).
- Always use `pathlib.Path` for path manipulation; do not assume `/` separators.
-
-## Prompt Templates
-
-Agent system prompts and scenario-specific instructions live in `nanobot/templates/` as Jinja2 markdown files (`identity.md`, `platform_policy.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`, `SOUL.md`, etc.). Changing these files alters agent behavior as directly as changing Python code. They are loaded by `utils/prompt_templates.py`.
-
-Tool descriptions, skills, and replayed session history also shape model behavior. Treat changes to those surfaces like runtime code: keep them narrow, add a focused regression test when possible, and avoid teaching the model to repeat internal markers, local paths, or tool-call text.
-
-## Context Pollution Persists
-
-Anything written into memory, session history, or prompt inputs can be replayed into future LLM calls. Metadata such as timestamps, local media paths, tool-call echoes, and raw fallback dumps must be bounded and sanitized before they become examples for the model to imitate.
-
-## Skills as Extension Point
-
-Built-in skills live in `nanobot/skills/` (markdown + YAML frontmatter format). Agent capabilities that are "know-how" rather than code should be added as skills, not hardcoded into the agent loop. External skills can be published to and installed from ClawHub.
-
-## Atomic Session Writes
-
-`agent/memory.py` writes `history.jsonl` atomically (temp file + fsync + rename + directory fsync). This guarantees durability across crashes. Do not replace this with a plain `open(..., "w")` write.
@@ -1,25 +0,0 @@
-# Security Boundaries
-
-The agent operates with significant power (file system, shell, web). The following guards must not be bypassed when modifying related code.
-
-## Workspace Restriction
-
-Filesystem tools (`read_file`, `write_file`, `edit_file`, `list_dir`) resolve paths through `_resolve_path` (`agent/tools/filesystem.py`), which enforces that the resolved path must lie under `allowed_dir` (typically the configured workspace), plus the media upload directory (`get_media_dir()`) and any `extra_allowed_dirs`.
-
-Shell execution (`ExecTool`, `agent/tools/shell.py`) also respects `restrict_to_workspace`: if enabled and `working_dir` is outside the workspace, the command is rejected before execution.
-
-**Rule**: Any new path-handling logic must go through `_resolve_path` or perform an equivalent `allowed_dir` check.
-
-## SSRF Protection
-
-All outbound HTTP requests from agent tools must pass through `validate_url_target` (`security/network.py`). By default it blocks RFC1918 private addresses, link-local ranges, and cloud metadata endpoints (including `169.254.169.254`).
-
-The only escape hatch is `configure_ssrf_whitelist(cidrs)`, which reads from `config.tools.ssrf_whitelist` at load time.
-
-**Rule**: Do not add direct `httpx.get` / `requests.get` calls in tools. Route through the existing web fetch utilities or replicate the `validate_url_target` check.
-
-## Shell Sandbox
-
-`tools/sandbox.py` provides optional command wrapping. The only backend currently shipped is `bwrap` (bubblewrap), intended for containerized deployments. On Windows and bare-metal Linux without `bwrap`, commands run in the native shell with workspace restriction as the only guard.
-
-**Rule**: If adding a new sandbox backend, implement `_wrap_<name>(command, workspace, cwd) -> str` and register it in `_BACKENDS`.

-# CLAUDE.md
-
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-nanobot is a lightweight, open-source AI agent framework written in Python with a React/TypeScript WebUI. It centers around a small agent loop that receives messages from chat channels, invokes an LLM provider, executes tools, and manages session memory.
-
-## Development Commands
-
-```bash
-# Python: run single test / lint
-pytest tests/test_openai_api.py::test_function -v
-ruff check nanobot/
-
-# WebUI: dev server (proxies API/WS to gateway :8765), build, test
-# Build outputs to ../nanobot/web/dist (bundled into the Python wheel)
-cd webui && bun run dev      # or NANOBOT_API_URL=... bun run dev
-cd webui && bun run build
-cd webui && bun run test
-
-# Gateway
-nanobot gateway
-```
-
-## High-Level Architecture
-
-### Core Data Flow
-
-Messages flow through an async `MessageBus` (`nanobot/bus/queue.py`) that decouples chat channels from the agent core:
-
-1. **Channels** (`nanobot/channels/`) receive messages from external platforms and publish `InboundMessage` events to the bus.
-2. **`AgentLoop`** (`nanobot/agent/loop.py`) consumes inbound messages, builds context, and coordinates the turn.
-3. **`AgentRunner`** (`nanobot/agent/runner.py`) handles the actual LLM conversation loop: send messages to the provider, receive tool calls, execute tools, and stream responses.
-4. Responses are published as `OutboundMessage` events back to the appropriate channel.
-
-### Key Subsystems
-
- **Agent Loop** (`nanobot/agent/loop.py`, `runner.py`): The core processing engine. `AgentLoop` manages session keys, hooks, and context building. `AgentRunner` executes the multi-turn LLM conversation with tool execution.
- **LLM Providers** (`nanobot/providers/`): Provider implementations (Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible, OpenAI Responses API, Azure, Bedrock, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, etc.) built on a common base (`base.py`). Includes image generation (`image_generation.py`) and audio transcription (`transcription.py`). `factory.py` and `registry.py` handle instantiation and model discovery.
- **Channels** (`nanobot/channels/`): Platform integrations (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Feishu, Matrix, WhatsApp, QQ, WeChat, WeCom, DingTalk, Email, MoChat, MS Teams, WebSocket). `manager.py` discovers and coordinates them. Channels are auto-discovered via `pkgutil` scan + entry-point plugins.
- **Tools** (`nanobot/agent/tools/`): Agent capabilities exposed to the LLM: filesystem (read/write/edit/list), shell execution (with sandbox backends), web search/fetch, MCP servers, cron, notebook editing, subagent spawning, long-running tasks / sustained goals (`long_task.py`), image generation, and self-modification. Tools are auto-discovered via `pkgutil` scan + entry-point plugins.
- **Memory** (`nanobot/agent/memory.py`): Session history persistence with Dream two-phase memory consolidation. Uses atomic writes with fsync for durability.
- **Session Management** (`nanobot/session/`): Per-session history, context compaction, TTL-based auto-compaction (`manager.py`), and sustained goal state tracking (`goal_state.py`).
- **Config** (`nanobot/config/schema.py`, `loader.py`): Pydantic-based configuration loaded from `~/.nanobot/config.json`. Supports camelCase aliases for JSON compatibility.
- **Bridge** (`bridge/`): TypeScript services (e.g. WhatsApp bridge) bundled into the wheel via `pyproject.toml` `force-include`.
- **WebUI** (`webui/`): Vite-based React SPA that talks to the gateway over a WebSocket multiplex protocol. The dev server proxies `/api`, `/webui`, `/auth`, and WebSocket traffic to the gateway.
- **API Server** (`nanobot/api/server.py`): OpenAI-compatible HTTP API (`/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/models`) for programmatic access.
- **Command Router** (`nanobot/command/`): Slash command routing and built-in command handlers.
- **Heartbeat** (`nanobot/templates/HEARTBEAT.md`): Periodic task list checked via `cron` jobs (legacy dedicated service removed).
- **Pairing** (`nanobot/pairing/`): DM sender approval store with persistent pairing codes per channel.
- **Skills** (`nanobot/skills/`): Built-in skill definitions (long-goal, cron, github, image-generation, etc.) loaded into agent context.
- **Security** (`nanobot/security/`): PTH file guard and other security measures activated at CLI entry.

-### Entry Points

- **Python SDK**: `nanobot/nanobot.py`

-## 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()`.

-
-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.

-## 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

-# Image Generation
-
-nanobot can generate and edit images through the `generate_image` tool. In the WebUI, users can enable **Image Generation** from the composer, choose an aspect ratio, and keep iterating on generated images inside the same chat.
-
-The feature is disabled by default. Enable it in `~/.nanobot/config.json`, configure a supported image provider, then restart the gateway.
-
-## Quick Setup
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "openrouter": {
-      "apiKey": "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "openrouter",
-      "model": "openai/gpt-5.4-image-2"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-See [Provider Notes](#provider-notes) for AIHubMix, MiniMax, Gemini, Ollama, StepFun, and Zhipu configuration examples.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Prefer environment variables for API keys. nanobot resolves `${VAR_NAME}` values from the environment at startup.
-
-## WebUI Usage
-
-In the WebUI composer:
-
-1. Click **Image Generation**.
-2. Choose an aspect ratio: `Auto`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16`, `4:3`, or `16:9`.
-3. Describe the image or the edit you want.
-4. Attach reference images when editing an existing image.
-
-Generated images are rendered as assistant media in the chat. Follow-up prompts such as "make it warmer", "change the background", or "try a 16:9 version" can reuse the most recent generated artifact.
-
-The WebUI hides provider storage details from the user. The agent sees the saved artifact path internally and can pass it back to `generate_image` as `reference_images` for iterative edits.
-
-## Configuration Reference
-
-| Option | Type | Default | Description |
-|--------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `tools.imageGeneration.enabled` | boolean | `false` | Register the `generate_image` tool |
-| `tools.imageGeneration.provider` | string | `"openrouter"` | Image provider name. Supported values: `openrouter`, `aihubmix`, `minimax`, `gemini`, `ollama`, `stepfun`, `zhipu` |
-| `tools.imageGeneration.model` | string | `"openai/gpt-5.4-image-2"` | Provider model name |
-| `tools.imageGeneration.defaultAspectRatio` | string | `"1:1"` | Default ratio when the prompt/tool call does not specify one |
-| `tools.imageGeneration.defaultImageSize` | string | `"1K"` | Default size hint, for example `1K`, `2K`, `4K`, or `1024x1024` |
-| `tools.imageGeneration.maxImagesPerTurn` | number | `4` | Maximum `count` accepted by one tool call. Valid range: `1` to `8` |
-| `tools.imageGeneration.saveDir` | string | `"generated"` | Relative directory under nanobot's media directory for generated artifacts |
-
-Provider settings reuse normal provider config fields:
-
-| Option | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `providers.<name>.apiKey` | Provider API key. Prefer `${ENV_VAR}` |
-| `providers.<name>.apiBase` | Optional custom base URL |
-| `providers.<name>.extraHeaders` | Headers merged into provider requests |
-| `providers.<name>.extraBody` | Extra JSON fields merged into provider request bodies |
-
-Both camelCase and snake_case config keys are accepted, but docs use camelCase to match `config.json`.
-
-## Provider Notes
-
-### OpenRouter
-
-OpenRouter uses a chat-completions style image response. Configure:
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "openrouter",
-      "model": "openai/gpt-5.4-image-2"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Use a model that supports image generation and image editing if you want reference-image edits.
-
-### AIHubMix
-
-AIHubMix `gpt-image-2-free` is supported through AIHubMix's unified predictions API. Internally nanobot calls:
-
-```text
-/v1/models/openai/gpt-image-2-free/predictions
-```
-
-Configure:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "aihubmix": {
-      "apiKey": "${AIHUBMIX_API_KEY}",
-      "extraBody": {
-        "quality": "low"
-      }
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "aihubmix",
-      "model": "gpt-image-2-free"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`quality: low` is optional. It can make free image models faster and less likely to time out, but it is not required for correctness.
-
-### MiniMax
-
-MiniMax `image-01` supports text-to-image and reference-image (subject reference) edits. Supported aspect ratios are `1:1`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `3:2`, `2:3`, `3:4`, `9:16`, and `21:9`.
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "minimax": {
-      "apiKey": "${MINIMAX_API_KEY}"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "minimax",
-      "model": "image-01",
-      "defaultAspectRatio": "1:1"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Gemini
-
-nanobot supports two Gemini image generation model families via Google's Generative Language API:
-
-| Model | Endpoint | Reference images |
-|-------|----------|-----------------|
-| `imagen-4.0-generate-001` | `:predict` | Not supported by this integration |
-| `gemini-2.5-flash-image` | `:generateContent` | Supported |
-
-For reference-image edits, use a Gemini Flash image model:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "gemini": {
-      "apiKey": "${GEMINI_API_KEY}"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "gemini",
-      "model": "gemini-2.5-flash-image"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Imagen 4 supports the aspect ratios `1:1`, `9:16`, `16:9`, `3:4`, and `4:3`. Unsupported ratios are ignored and the model uses its default. The `defaultImageSize` setting has no effect on Gemini models; sizing is controlled by `defaultAspectRatio` only. Reference images passed with an Imagen model are ignored (with a warning logged).
-
-### Ollama
-
-Ollama's experimental native image generation API works with local servers and hosted ollama.com models. Local access at `http://localhost:11434/api` does not require an API key; set `providers.ollama.apiKey` only when targeting `https://ollama.com/api`.
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "ollama": {
-      "apiBase": "http://localhost:11434/api"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "ollama",
-      "model": "x/z-image-turbo",
-      "defaultAspectRatio": "16:9",
-      "defaultImageSize": "2K"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Ollama maps `defaultAspectRatio` and `defaultImageSize` to native `width` and `height` values. Reference images are not supported by this integration.
-
-### StepFun
-
-StepFun (阶跃星辰) `step-image-edit-2` supports text-to-image generation.  The `step-1x-medium` variant additionally supports **style-reference** image edits, where a reference image guides the visual style of the output.
-
-Supported aspect ratios: `1:1`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `3:4`, `4:3`.  Sizes are specified as `WIDTHxHEIGHT` (e.g. `1024x1024`, `1280x800`, `800x1280`).
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "stepfun": {
-      "apiKey": "${STEPFUN_API_KEY}"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "stepfun",
-      "model": "step-image-edit-2"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The StepFun provider reuses the existing `providers.stepfun` config block (the same one used for StepFun's LLM API).  Set `providers.stepfun.apiKey` once and it is shared between text and image generation.
->
-> When `step-image-edit-2` is used, `reference_images` are ignored (the model does not support style reference).  Switch to `step-1x-medium` to use reference-image-guided generation.
-
-#### StepPlan (Subscription)
-
-StepPlan is StepFun's subscription tier and uses a different API base URL. The image generation endpoint path is the same — just override `apiBase`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "stepfun": {
-      "apiKey": "${STEPFUN_API_KEY}",
-      "apiBase": "https://api.stepfun.com/step_plan/v1"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "stepfun",
-      "model": "step-image-edit-2"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-`apiBase` takes precedence over the registry default, so with the StepPlan base URL configured, image requests are sent to `https://api.stepfun.com/step_plan/v1/images/generations` — the same path prefix used for LLM calls. The API key is shared with the standard StepFun provider.
-
-### Zhipu
-
-Zhipu (智谱) `glm-image` model supports text-to-image generation. The API returns temporary image URLs (valid for 30 days); nanobot downloads and re-encodes them as base64 data URLs.
-
-Supported aspect ratios: `1:1`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `3:4`, `4:3`. Sizes can be specified as `WIDTHxHEIGHT` (e.g. `1280x1280`, `1728x960`) or using aspect ratio presets.
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "zhipu": {
-      "apiKey": "${ZAI_API_KEY}"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "zhipu",
-      "model": "glm-image"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Other supported models: `cogview-4`, `cogview-4-250304`, `cogview-3-flash`. Reference images are not supported by this integration.
-
-## Artifacts
-
-Generated images are stored under the active nanobot instance's media directory:
-
-```text
-~/.nanobot/media/generated/YYYY-MM-DD/img_<id>.<ext>
-~/.nanobot/media/generated/YYYY-MM-DD/img_<id>.json
-```
-
-For non-default config locations, the media directory is relative to the active config file's directory.
-
-The JSON sidecar stores:
-
-| Field | Meaning |
-|-------|---------|
-| `id` | Short generated image id, such as `img_ab12cd34ef56` |
-| `path` | Local image path used internally for follow-up edits |
-| `mime` | Detected image MIME type |
-| `prompt` | Prompt used for the generation |
-| `model` | Provider model |
-| `provider` | Provider name |
-| `source_images` | Reference image paths used for edits |
-| `created_at` | Creation timestamp |
-
-Do not paste base64 image payloads into chat. The agent should keep local artifact paths internal unless the user explicitly asks for debugging details.
-
-## Prompting
-
-Good image prompts include:
-
- Subject and scene.
- Composition, camera, or layout.
- Style, mood, lighting, and color palette.
- Exact text that must appear in the image, quoted.
- Constraints such as "keep the same character" or "preserve the logo".
-
-Example:
-
-```text
-A minimal app icon for nanobot: friendly robot head, rounded square, soft blue and white palette, clean vector style, no text
-```
-
-For edits, describe what should change and what must stay fixed:
-
-```text
-Use the reference image. Keep the same robot and composition, change the palette to warm orange, and add a subtle sunrise background.
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Symptom | Check |
-|---------|-------|
-| `generate_image` is not available | Set `tools.imageGeneration.enabled` to `true` and restart the gateway |
-| Missing API key error | Configure `providers.<provider>.apiKey`; if using `${VAR_NAME}`, confirm the environment variable is visible to the gateway process |
-| `unsupported image generation provider` | Use `openrouter`, `aihubmix`, `minimax`, `gemini`, `ollama`, `stepfun`, or `zhipu` |
-| AIHubMix says `Incorrect model ID` | Use `model: "gpt-image-2-free"`; nanobot expands it to the required `openai/gpt-image-2-free` model path internally |
-| Generation times out | Try a smaller/default image size, set AIHubMix `extraBody.quality` to `"low"`, or retry later |
-| Reference image rejected | Reference image paths must be inside the workspace or nanobot media directory and must be valid image files |

chengyongruandchengyongru	08c5ce95f2	feat(feishu): per-message session for group top-level messages Align with deer-flow: group top-level messages (no root_id) now get their own session keyed by message_id instead of sharing a single group-wide session. Topic replies continue to share session via root_id.	2026-04-26 03:18:13 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	d5122f6df8	chore(test): remove stale reaction_id from test metadata The production code no longer reads reaction_id from metadata, so remove the leftover key from the test_no_removal_when_message_id_missing test case.	2026-04-26 03:18:13 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	1b231eb69f	fix(test): update reaction cleanup test for _reaction_ids dict The stream-end reaction cleanup now reads from _reaction_ids instead of metadata, so pre-populate the dict in the test instead of passing reaction_id via metadata.	2026-04-26 03:18:13 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	91d5f14fbd	fix(feishu): use message_id as reply target and fix keyword-only arg Align reply targeting with deer-flow: always reply to the inbound message_id (not root_id). The Feishu Reply API keeps responses in the same topic automatically when the target message is inside a topic. Also fix run_in_executor calls that passed reply_in_thread as a positional arg to a keyword-only parameter, and route standalone tool hints through the reply API for group chats.	2026-04-26 03:18:13 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	3ece7256d1	perf(feishu): make reaction non-blocking to speed up inbound dispatch Reaction emoji is now added as a fire-and-forget background task instead of blocking the inbound message pipeline. This removes one API round-trip from the critical path before the agent starts processing.	2026-04-26 03:18:13 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	a0e97e360e	feat(feishu): add reply_in_thread for visual topic grouping When reply_to_message config is enabled, the bot's first reply now uses reply_in_thread=True to create a visual topic/thread in the Feishu client. Subsequent chunks fall back to regular create. The reply_to_message default remains False for backward compatibility. Failed replies still fall back to regular send — messages are never silently dropped.	2026-04-26 03:18:13 +08:00
chengyongru chengyongru shenchengtsi	934372d90b	feat(feishu): add thread-scoped session isolation for group chats Thread replies (messages with root_id != message_id) in group chats now get their own session key: feishu:{chat_id}:{root_id}. This means each Feishu thread has an independent conversation context. Top-level group messages and all private chat messages keep the default session key (no override), consistent with Telegram and Slack channel behavior.

chengyongruandchengyongru	8a646d9aec	fix(agent): cap recent history section in system prompt Truncate the "Recent History" section injected by build_system_prompt() to 32K chars. Without this, many accumulated history.jsonl entries could still bloat the system prompt even with per-entry truncation in place.	2026-04-24 01:53:31 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	93bcb0a649	fix(agent): prevent history.jsonl bloat from raw_archive and stuck consolidation Root cause: when consolidation LLM fails, raw_archive() dumped full message content (~1MB) into history.jsonl with no size limit. Since build_system_prompt() injects history.jsonl into every system prompt, all subsequent LLM calls exceeded the 200K context window with error 1261. Additionally, _cap_consolidation_boundary's 60-message cap caused consolidation to get stuck on sessions with long tool chains (200+ iterations), triggering the raw_archive fallback in the first place. Three-layer fix: - Remove _cap_consolidation_boundary: let pick_consolidation_boundary drive chunk sizing based solely on token budget - Truncate archive() input: use tiktoken to cap formatted text to the model's input token budget before sending to consolidation LLM - Truncate raw_archive() output: cap history.jsonl entries at 16K chars	2026-04-24 01:41:01 +08:00
chengyongru	da0ebc64fb	fix(agent): prevent duplicate responses when sub-agents complete concurrently When the main agent spawns multiple sub-agents, each completion independently triggered a new _dispatch, causing 3-4 user-visible responses instead of a single comprehensive report. - Extend _drain_pending to block-wait on pending_queue when sub-agents are still running, keeping the runner loop alive for in-order injection - Pass pending_queue in the system message path so subsequent sub-agent results can still be injected mid-turn via a new dispatch	2026-04-22 18:20:36 +08:00

stutiredboy chengyongru stutiredboy	c7057cb3bf	fix(telegram): split oversized stream buffer mid-flight Cherry-picked from #3311 (stutiredboy). Streaming edits called edit_message_text(text=buf.text) without chunking, so once accumulated deltas crossed Telegram's 4096-char limit an ongoing stream would fail with BadRequest. Extracts _flush_stream_overflow helper that edits the first chunk in place, sends any middle chunks, and re-anchors the buffer to a new message for the tail so subsequent deltas keep streaming.

himax12andchengyongru	8301a3a741	fix(telegram): convert markdown to HTML before splitting to avoid message length overflow Cherry-picked from #3316 (himax12). When streaming completes in send_delta(), the code was splitting raw markdown text by 4000, then converting to HTML. The markdown-to-HTML conversion adds 10-33% characters, which could push the result over Telegram's 4096 character limit. The fix converts markdown to HTML first, then splits by 4096 (actual Telegram limit), ensuring the edited message always fits. Fixes #3315	2026-04-20 16:30:55 +08:00
