+## 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.

+conversation, and `/context` explains the compacted summary and raw session suffix available to
+the next agent turn. `/branch` forks a saved conversation from a completed reply, and `/diff`
+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.
