 Packaged releases fetch a version-matched, checksummed terminal archive for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux (x64 and ARM64), or Windows x64 on first use. The cache keeps the executable together with its licenses, third-party notices, source offer, relinking instructions, and corresponding TUI source. Windows ARM64 currently falls back to the classic prompt because the Bun runtime disables the FFI required by OpenTUI on that platform. Set `NANOBOT_TUI_NO_DOWNLOAD=1` or pass `--classic` to keep the Python-only path. A local source install requires Bun and runs its own `tui/` source while the original checkout remains available; it never silently falls back to a release binary.

 ## Discovery and Reading
 
-- Use `find_files` or `list_dir` to locate workspace paths before `read_file` when a path is uncertain.
-- Use `grep` for content search inside the workspace; prefer it over shell grep for ordinary searches.
-- `grep` defaults to `output_mode="files_with_matches"`; use `output_mode="content"` for matching lines with context.
+- Use `find_files` or `list_dir` for uncertain paths, `grep` for content, and `read_file` for a known path.
+- `grep` returns matches with five context lines by default; use `files_with_matches` for paths or `count` for totals.
 - Use `fixed_strings=true` for literal keywords containing regex characters.
-- Use `output_mode="count"` to size a broad search before reading full matches.
 - Use `head_limit` and `offset` to page across large result sets.
 - Search tools enforce binary and file-size limits and report skipped files in the result.

 ## Process Execution
 
-- Use `exec` for tests, builds, package commands, git commands, and other process execution.
-- Prefer dedicated file/search tools over `cat`, shell `find`, shell `grep`, `sed`, or `echo` for ordinary workspace inspection and edits.
-- Use non-interactive flags such as `-y` or `--yes` when available.
-- Commands have a configurable timeout (default 60s), dangerous commands are blocked, and output is truncated.
-- For long-running or interactive commands, pass `yield_time_ms`; if the process keeps running, continue with `write_stdin`.
-- Use `write_stdin` to poll, provide stdin, close stdin, wait for expected output with `wait_for`, or terminate an existing exec session.
-- Use `list_exec_sessions` to recover active session IDs after context shifts.
+- Use `exec` for processes, not file inspection or editing.
+- For interaction or early output, set `yield_time_ms` and continue with `exec_session` (`until_exit=true` when no further input is needed).
+- Use `list_exec_sessions` to recover session IDs.
