 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.
 
+## Type dynamic boundaries at the edge
+
+Wire payloads, persisted records, and third-party SDK objects are untrusted dynamic boundaries. Prefer a parser or small normalizer at the owning edge, and use `TypedDict` for stable dictionary shapes, so validation happens once and internal code receives a concrete type. Do not spread raw dynamic dictionaries or SDK objects through the core.
+
+Stable first-party dependencies must be typed where they are stored or passed. Do not declare an internal service, context field, or callback result as `Any` and then recover its real type with consumer-side casts. Use the concrete type or a narrow `Protocol`; reserve `Any` for genuinely dynamic boundaries.
+
+`typing.cast` performs no runtime validation. Every new cast must be supported by a runtime check on the same path or by an explicit invariant that is clear from construction and control flow (and documented locally when it is not obvious). If input can violate the claimed type, handle that invalid case before casting; never use `cast` only to silence BasedPyright.
+
 ## 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.

+All outbound HTTP requests from agent tools must pass through the shared URL guards in `security/network.py` (`validate_url_target` or `resolve_url_target`). By default they block loopback, RFC1918 private addresses, CGNAT ranges, 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.
+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.
 
 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.

+## Release Packaging Contract
+
+A stable install must never combine Python from one version with a TUI from another. Publish in
+this order:
+
+1. Set the package version and publish the matching GitHub release tag (`vX.Y.Z`).
+2. Review the pinned Bun/OpenTUI licenses, source offer, and relinking materials for that tag.
+3. Manually run **Publish Terminal UI** for the exact tag and confirm the compliance review input.
+4. Wait for every platform archive and checksum to appear on the release, then publish the same
+   `X.Y.Z` package to PyPI.
+
+The wheel contains the built WebUI. The native TUI stays a platform-specific release sidecar so
+users download only the archive for their machine. Each archive must contain the executable,
+target-specific third-party notices, project and runtime licenses, corresponding application
+source, a written source offer, relinking instructions, and a checksum manifest. Never upload a
+naked TUI executable. Source checkouts use an editable Python install, run `tui/` with Bun, and
+rebuild stale `webui/` assets locally.
+
+The confirmation is an operational commitment, not a cosmetic checkbox. Before accepting it,
+verify that the exact Bun/WebKit revisions remain retrievable and that the project can honor the
+archive's corresponding-source offer for its full stated period. Preserve published archives and
+their source materials.

 🐈 nanobot stays lightweight by centering everything around a small agent loop: messages come in from chat apps, the LLM decides when tools are needed, and memory or skills are pulled in only as context instead of becoming a heavy orchestration layer. That keeps the core path readable and easy to extend, while still letting you add channels, tools, memory, and deployment options without turning the system into a monolith.

-In interactive mode, `Enter` sends the current message. Press `Alt+Enter` to add a newline before sending.
+Inside the native TUI, `/sessions` switches saved conversations, `/new-chat` starts another saved

+opens the latest turn's file changes as a full-screen unified diff.
+`PageUp` loads older transcript pages when you reach the top. By default, each launch starts a
+new session using the launch directory as its workspace. `--session` selects a specific existing
+session, and `--workspace` overrides the launch directory. When the TUI exits, it prints a
+ready-to-run `nanobot agent --session ...` command for the current session.
 
-Interactive mode exits with `exit`, `quit`, `/exit`, `/quit`, `:q`, or `Ctrl+D`.
+## Session Storage and Rollback
+
+Session JSONL files live under `<config-dir>/sessions/<workspace-id>/`, outside the
+agent-readable workspace. On the first upgraded start, nanobot safely migrates existing
+`<workspace>/sessions/*.jsonl` files after verifying an atomic copy. Stop every old nanobot
+process that uses the workspace before upgrading; old and new binaries must not write the
+same session concurrently.
+
+To prepare a downgrade, stop nanobot and copy the current sessions back to the path understood
+by older releases:
+
+```bash
+nanobot sessions restore-workspace --config ./bot-a/config.json --workspace ./bot-a/workspace
+```
+
+The command never deletes the external store and refuses to overwrite a different existing
+workspace file. Back up both the config directory and workspace before changing versions.
+
+Interactive mode uses nanobot's native TypeScript terminal UI. It talks to the same local gateway as the WebUI, so streaming, tool progress, and WebSocket sessions share one protocol instead of maintaining a second agent loop. If no gateway is running, either client starts it on demand. The TUI paints immediately while the local gateway starts, then obtains fresh bootstrap credentials and connects in the background. Exiting one TUI or WebUI launcher releases only that client; the last interactive launcher stops the on-demand gateway. A small gateway watchdog also reclaims an on-demand process if its last client crashes. `/detach` promotes the shared gateway to persistent background mode before closing the TUI, so active agent work continues without a connected client. An explicit `nanobot gateway --background` starts or promotes the gateway the same way before opening a client. `nanobot gateway restart` restarts a detached gateway without changing that lifetime; restart an attached foreground gateway in its owning terminal. `nanobot gateway stop` ends either mode.
+
+The default `--theme auto` mode paints first with the terminal's default background, probes the real foreground and background colors asynchronously, and follows supported live appearance changes. Use `--theme light` or `--theme dark` when a terminal or multiplexer does not report its colors reliably. The model preset and workspace access labels above the composer can be clicked to open their selectors; arrow keys, `Enter`, and `Esc` provide the same controls without a mouse. Access changes still pass through the gateway's local-trust and active-turn policy checks.
+
+`Enter` sends the current message. While nanobot is working, `Enter` sends immediately, `Tab` waits until the current response is finished, and `Option+Up` on macOS (`Alt+Up` on Windows/Linux) returns the latest waiting message to the composer. Press `Shift+Enter` to add a newline; `Ctrl+J` is the universal fallback when a terminal cannot distinguish modified Enter keys. `Alt+Enter` and `Ctrl+Enter` are also accepted when distinguishable. Use `Up`/`Down` at the composer edge to recall prompts from the current saved session. Large pastes appear as a compact placeholder in the composer but are sent unchanged. Type `/` to discover nanobot commands and terminal navigation in one palette, or type `@` to complete installed apps, configured MCP servers, and saved sessions. Use the arrow keys to choose an item and `Tab` to complete it. `/sessions` opens a searchable conversation picker, `/new-chat` preserves the current conversation and starts another one, and `/branch` forks from a completed reply. `/diff` opens a read-only unified diff for the newest turn; use `Left`/`Right` to switch edits and `Esc` to close it. The core `/new` command retains its cross-channel behavior and resets the current chat. `Ctrl+C` copies a selection, stops a running turn, clears a non-empty composer, or exits when idle. Use `PageUp`/`PageDown` to scroll, `Ctrl+Home`/`Ctrl+End` to jump to the transcript edges, and `Ctrl+O` to expand or collapse long tool traces. When you leave the bottom, the TUI shows a scrollbar and a `Ctrl+End` hint until you return. The footer reports provider token/cache usage when available. Selections copy through OSC 52 when the terminal supports it. The transcript reflows when the terminal is resized, and exiting restores the previous screen.
+
+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.
+
+Non-interactive input/output, `--logs`, and `--no-markdown` automatically retain the classic prompt so existing scripts and diagnostic workflows do not acquire terminal control sequences or silently ignore their options.
+
+Interactive mode exits with `exit`, `quit`, `/exit`, `/quit`, `:q`, or `Ctrl+D`. Use `/detach` instead to close the TUI without stopping the shared gateway or its active agent work. The restored terminal prints a copyable stop command with the same `--config` and explicit `--workspace` selectors.

 ## Gateway
 
 `nanobot gateway` starts enabled chat channels, WebUI/WebSocket when configured, cron-backed system jobs, Dream, heartbeat, and the health endpoint. Most local browser users should start with `nanobot webui`; use `gateway` directly for service management, chat app operation, and advanced deployment. By default it runs in the foreground, which keeps existing scripts and terminal workflows unchanged. Use `--background` when you want a local macOS, Linux, or Windows process that you can manage from the CLI.

+### Responses conversation state and compaction
+
+Providers that use the Responses API can keep reasoning context across a
+conversation, which helps with multi-step tasks. Supported providers can also
+compact long conversations automatically.
+
+nanobot preserves Responses conversation state automatically for OpenAI Responses, OpenAI Codex, Azure OpenAI, DeepSeek V4, and compatible GitHub Copilot models.
+Native compaction is also automatic when the provider supports it. The
+threshold is derived from the active model's context window and reserved output
+headroom; no provider configuration is required.

+
+Remote HTTP servers may use browser OAuth instead of static headers. In the
+WebUI, open **Apps → MCP → Add MCP server**, choose **Custom**, select HTTP or
+SSE, and choose **OAuth** under **Authentication**. Save the server, then choose
+**Connect**. For manual configuration, add `auth: "oauth"` and open
+**Apps → MCP** to connect. Known presets such as Xmind, Notion, and Linear add
+the config automatically on first click.

+nanobot opens the server's authorization page and handles the callback through
+the gateway. The tools become available immediately when hot reload succeeds;
+otherwise the WebUI asks for a restart. OAuth tokens and dynamic client
+registration data are stored in the nanobot data directory under
+`auth/mcp.json`; they are not written to `config.json`. Removing the MCP server
+from Apps also removes its saved OAuth credentials. Normal gateway startup never
+opens a browser or registers a new OAuth client when credentials are
+missing—interactive authorization starts only after a user clicks **Connect**.
+
+For a remotely accessed WebUI, HTTPS is recommended. Configure
+`channels.websocket.publicWsUrl` with the browser-facing `wss://` endpoint so
+nanobot can register the matching HTTPS callback and finish automatically. A
+loopback WebUI may use HTTP. When a remote WebUI is served over plain HTTP,
+nanobot instead registers a localhost callback and asks you to paste the complete
+callback URL from the browser address bar after authorization.

Agent Plugins are the common package and activation boundary for installable capabilities; they do not replace native providers, channels, tools, standalone workspace skills, or directly configured MCP servers.

+`tools.mcpServers` entries win collisions. Invalid or escaping components are ignored.

+### First Deployment
+
+1. Click **Deploy to Render**, sign in, and review the Blueprint. It creates one Starter web service and a 1 GB persistent disk.
+2. Enter your `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. Set `NANOBOT_WEB_TOKEN` to a new random value and save it in your password manager; this is the password for the public WebUI.
+3. Create the Blueprint and wait for the service status to become **Live**. The first build can take several minutes.
+4. Open the generated `onrender.com` URL. The **Authentication required** page means the gateway is running: enter the same `NANOBOT_WEB_TOKEN` value to open the WebUI.
+
+The model API key is used by nanobot to call Anthropic. The Web token only protects access to this deployment; do not share it in issues, screenshots, or chat.
+
+### Updates and Data
+
+The Blueprint disables automatic deploys so upstream repository changes do not unexpectedly restart your agent. To update, open the service in the Render Dashboard and choose **Manual Deploy → Deploy latest commit**.
+
+The persistent disk keeps `config.json`, sessions, memory, WebUI history, cron state, media, and logs across restarts and updates. The deployment initializes `config.json` only when it does not already exist, so settings changed later in the WebUI are not replaced on every boot.
+
+If deployment fails, open the service **Logs** page first. A missing model key fails provider requests after startup, while an incorrect Web token leaves you on the authentication page.

+```json
+{
+  "gateway": { "host": "127.0.0.1" },
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "host": "127.0.0.1",

+        "assertionHeader": "Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This is two-part authorization: a trusted direct loopback peer **and** a
+non-empty Cloudflare Access assertion. A trusted CIDR alone is not a bypass.
+For this flow `/webui/bootstrap` returns connection metadata without a
+bootstrap token or REST API token; the proxy assertion authorizes the WebSocket
+handshake and REST requests directly.
+
+Set `publicWsUrl` to the browser-facing `wss://` endpoint when the tunnel sends
+the origin host header (such as `127.0.0.1:8765`); otherwise the WebUI could
+attempt to open its WebSocket directly against the loopback address.
+The assertion header must be generated
+by Cloudflare Access after authentication; routing/client metadata headers such
+as `Host`, `Forwarded`, `X-Forwarded-*`, `X-Real-IP`, and `CF-Connecting-IP`
+are rejected as `assertionHeader` values. Nanobot trusts the assertion but does
+not cryptographically validate the JWT, so configure the tunnel and Access
+policy carefully and do not expose the nanobot listener directly to untrusted
+clients. Forwarded client headers do not establish proxy trust.

+### OrcaRouter Gateway
+
+[OrcaRouter](https://www.orcarouter.ai) is an OpenAI-compatible model routing gateway. Configure
+the built-in `orcarouter` provider and use a model ID from OrcaRouter's catalog:
+
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "orcarouter": {
+      "apiKey": "${ORCAROUTER_API_KEY}"
+    }
+  },
+  "modelPresets": {

+    }
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "primary"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Use the model ID exactly as OrcaRouter lists it. `orcarouter/auto` routes to a
+suitable upstream automatically; explicit IDs such as
+`anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` or `openai/gpt-5` are also accepted. OrcaRouter API keys start with
+`sk-orca-`. The WebUI can load the account's model catalog after the API key is saved under
+**Settings → Models**.
+
+### Eden AI Gateway
+
+Eden AI exposes an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions endpoint at
+`https://api.edenai.run/v3`. Configure the built-in `edenai` provider and use
+the full `provider/model` identifier listed by Eden AI:
+
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "edenai": {
+      "apiKey": "${EDENAI_API_KEY}"
+    }

+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "primary"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Nanobot sends the model ID unchanged, including its provider prefix. Use
+Eden AI's [model listing](https://www.edenai.co/docs/v3/llms/listing-models)
+to choose a currently available model. The WebUI can also load that catalog

+
+Create a ModelScope [access token](https://modelscope.cn/my/myaccesstoken), then choose a model whose page exposes API-Inference.

See the official [API-Inference guide](https://modelscope.cn/docs/model-service/API-Inference/intro) for current service details.

+
+Use an inference-enabled model ID exactly as ModelScope publishes it (usually `Namespace/model-name`). The default base URL is `https://api-inference.modelscope.cn/v1`; override `providers.modelscope.apiBase` only if your account routes through a different host. Chat model IDs may optionally be prefixed with `modelscope/`; nanobot strips that routing prefix before sending the request.
+
+ModelScope image generation reuses the same provider key but is configured under `tools.imageGeneration`, not in a model preset:

+      "provider": "modelscope",
+      "model": "Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Use the image model's exact ModelScope ID without a leading `modelscope/`; the image client sends this value unchanged and handles ModelScope's async submit/poll flow. The example uses [`Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512`](https://modelscope.cn/models/Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512). See [Image Generation](./image-generation.md#modelscope) for supported sizes, aspect ratios, and the complete provider configuration.

+
+Host applications can attach external context without copying or modifying the
+nanobot agent loop. A context provider receives a `RequestContext` before each
+model turn and may return one or more `RuntimeContextBlock` values. Use
+`attributes` for caller-owned routing data; nanobot keeps it separate from
+trusted channel metadata and does not persist it in session messages.
+
+`on_session_turn_persisted()` invokes its callback after a non-ephemeral turn
+has been saved. The callback receives `SessionTurnPersisted` and may read the
+completed transcript through `bot.sessions`. Callbacks run in registration
+order, and async callbacks are awaited before the run continues. They are
+observational: callback exceptions are logged and suppressed so the completed
+local turn remains successful. Durable external synchronization must catch
+failures and persist retry work before the callback returns. During SDK runs,
+callbacks execute while the session is still serialized and must not re-enter
+`bot.run()` for the same session.

+The embedded WebUI's `/webui/bootstrap` route returns a WebSocket token and

+`trustedProxyAuth` authenticates the direct proxy peer, it returns connection
+metadata only: no bootstrap token, no REST API token, and no token query
+parameter is required for the WebSocket handshake or subsequent REST requests.
+
+### Trusted proxy no-token bootstrap
+
+`trustedProxyAuth` is an opt-in alternative for deployments where an
+identity-aware reverse proxy authenticates the user before connecting to nanobot.
+The proxy assertion becomes the authentication boundary for the entire WebUI
+surface: `/webui/bootstrap`, the WebSocket handshake, and REST API routes.
+Bootstrap is accepted only when **both** the direct TCP peer matches one of
+`trustedPeerCidrs` and the configured assertion header is present and non-empty.
+A trusted address by itself is never sufficient.
+
+Nanobot deliberately uses only `connection.remote_address` for the peer check.
+It never uses `X-Forwarded-For`, `Forwarded`, `X-Real-IP`, `CF-Connecting-IP`,
+or `X-Forwarded-Host` to decide whether the proxy is trusted. Nanobot trusts the
+assertion supplied by the explicitly trusted peer, but does not cryptographically
+validate or interpret the JWT/assertion contents. Do not enable this option if
+untrusted clients can connect directly to the nanobot listener.
+
+The configured assertion header must be a proxy-generated authentication
+assertion, not a routing or client metadata header. Headers such as `Host`,
+`Forwarded`, `X-Forwarded-*`, `X-Real-IP`, and `CF-Connecting-IP` are rejected
+by configuration; use the identity provider's post-authentication assertion
+header instead (for example, `Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion`).
+
+For example, a local Cloudflare Tunnel with Cloudflare Access can validate the
+user at the edge and forward the resulting `Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "host": "127.0.0.1",
+      "publicWsUrl": "wss://nanobot.example.com/",
+      "trustedProxyAuth": {
+        "trustedPeerCidrs": ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1/128"],
+        "assertionHeader": "Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This works only when the directly connected `cloudflared` process reaches
+nanobot over the configured loopback address and supplies a non-empty assertion.
+Keep nanobot firewalled from untrusted clients; this configuration is not a
+CIDR-based bootstrap bypass.
