 ## Model Presets
 
-Model presets let you name a complete model configuration and select one per session with `/model <preset>`. Configure all model, provider, generation, context-window, and image-input settings under top-level `modelPresets`; `agents.defaults` only selects preset names.
+Model presets let you name a complete model configuration and select one per session with `/model <preset>`. They are the recommended way to configure models because the same names can be reused for new-session defaults, chat-command switching, and fallback chains.
 
-On first load, nanobot migrates legacy model fields from `agents.defaults` and inline fallback objects in `config.json` into named presets, then atomically rewrites the file and logs a warning. If a concrete `modelPresets.default` and legacy direct fields both exist, the concrete preset wins and the warning explains that the conflicting legacy fields were removed. Legacy model fields supplied through nested `NANOBOT_AGENTS` environment settings are not supported and produce a warning with instructions to move them into `modelPresets`.
+Existing configs do not need to change. Direct `agents.defaults.model`, `provider`, `maxTokens`, `contextWindowTokens`, `temperature`, and `reasoningEffort` fields still define the implicit `default` preset. For new configs, prefer top-level `modelPresets` plus `agents.defaults.modelPreset`.

 Failover normally runs when the primary provider returns a fallbackable model/provider error before any answer text has been streamed. Stream-stall timeouts are the recovery exception: if the provider already emitted partial answer text and then stalls, nanobot closes the current stream segment and retries/fails over in a new segment. Typical fallback cases include timeouts, connection errors, 5xx server errors, 429 rate limits, overloads, authentication/permission failures such as invalid or expired credentials, and quota/balance exhaustion. It does not run for malformed requests, content filtering/refusals, or context-length/message-format errors.

-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.

-
-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.
