refactor: restrict fallback_models to preset-only and clean up provider factory

- Restrict fallback_models to only reference preset names in model_presets. - Add schema validation to reject unknown preset names in fallback_models. - Remove build_provider_for_model() since bare model fallback is no longer supported. - Simplify make_provider_factory() to only look up presets by name. - Update onboard UI to remove "Add custom model" option from fallback chain. - Update tests to use preset names instead of bare model strings in fallback chains. - Fix test imports referencing deleted _make_provider function.
Refine fallback routing on model presets

-# 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.
@@ -1,44 +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.
-
-## Heartbeat Virtual Tool Call
-
-The heartbeat service (`heartbeat/service.py`) does not parse free-text LLM output. Instead, it injects a virtual `heartbeat` tool with `action: skip | run` into the conversation. Phase 1 is a structured decision; Phase 2 executes only on `run`. When adding new periodic background checks, follow this virtual-tool-call pattern rather than string matching.
-
-## 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`.

-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/heartbeat/`): Periodic agent wake-up service for scheduled task checking.
- **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.

-## 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(

-        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()`.

-## Pairing
-
-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.
-
-See [Configuration: Pairing](./configuration.md#pairing) for the full setup guide.
-
-## 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

-
-Preset names come from the top-level `modelPresets` config. Switching is runtime-only: it does not rewrite `config.json`, and an in-progress turn keeps using the model it started with. See [Configuration: Model presets](./configuration.md#model-presets) for setup details.

-## Model Presets
+## Agent Settings

-Model presets let you name a complete model configuration and switch it at runtime with `/model <preset>`.
+### Model Presets

-Existing configs do not need to change. If you do not set `modelPresets` or `agents.defaults.modelPreset`, nanobot keeps using `agents.defaults.*` exactly as before.
+Model presets let you define **named bundles** of model + generation parameters and switch between them instantly — no restart required.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Config fields in `config.json` use **camelCase** (`modelPreset`, `contextWindowTokens`).
+> The [`my` tool](./my-tool.md) uses **snake_case** (`model_preset`, `context_window_tokens`).
+> Both refer to the same thing — just different naming conventions for config vs. runtime API.
+
+**Why use presets?**
+- Switch between a cheap/fast model and a powerful model mid-conversation.
+- Share the same config across different tasks without manually editing `model`, `provider`, `temperature`, etc.
+- Runtime switching via the [`my` tool](./my-tool.md).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> The easiest way to set up presets and fallback models is through the interactive wizard:
+> ```bash
+> nanobot onboard --wizard
+> ```
+> Choose **"[M] Model Presets"** to create, edit, or delete presets interactively.

-`modelPresets` is a top-level object. The keys under it (`fast`, `deep`, `coding`, etc.) are user-defined preset names. Each preset supports:
-
-| Field | Description |
-|-------|-------------|
-| `model` | Model name to use for this preset. |
-| `provider` | Provider name, or `"auto"` to use provider auto-detection. |
-| `maxTokens` | Maximum completion/output tokens. |
-| `contextWindowTokens` | Context window size used by prompt building and consolidation decisions. |
-| `temperature` | Sampling temperature. |
-| `reasoningEffort` | Optional reasoning/thinking setting. Provider support varies. |
-
-`default` is reserved and always means the implicit preset built from `agents.defaults.*`; do not define `modelPresets.default`. Use `/model default` to switch back to `agents.defaults.*`.
-
-### Model Fallbacks
-
-`agents.defaults.fallbackModels` defines an ordered failover chain for the active model configuration. The primary model is still selected by `agents.defaults.modelPreset` (or the implicit default config when no preset is active).
-
-Each fallback candidate can be either:
-
- A preset name from `modelPresets`, such as `"deep"`. The preset's full model, provider, generation, and context-window config is used.
- An inline fallback object with at least `provider` and `model`. Optional `maxTokens`, `contextWindowTokens`, and `temperature` fields inherit from the active primary config when omitted. `reasoningEffort` does not inherit; omit it to leave reasoning off for that fallback, or set it explicitly for models that support reasoning.

-```json

-        }
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-String entries are preset names, not raw model names. If you want to use a model that is not already a preset, use the inline object form.
-
-Failover only runs when the primary provider returns a retryable model/provider error before any answer text has been streamed. Typical fallback cases include timeouts, connection errors, 5xx server errors, 429 rate limits, overloads, and quota/balance exhaustion. It does not run for malformed requests, authentication/permission errors, content filtering/refusals, or context-length/message-format errors.
-
-If fallback candidates use smaller `contextWindowTokens` values, nanobot builds context using the smallest window in the active chain so every candidate can receive the same prompt.

+| `reasoningEffort` | string or null | `null` | Thinking mode: `low`, `medium`, `high`, `adaptive` |
+
+**How it works:**
+- When `modelPreset` is set, the preset **completely overrides** all model-specific fields in `agents.defaults`.
+- When `modelPreset` is omitted, nanobot automatically creates an implicit `"default"` preset from your existing `agents.defaults.model`, `provider`, `temperature`, etc. — **zero migration required** for existing configs.
+
+**Runtime switching** (requires `tools.my.allowSet: true`):
+
+```text
+my(action="set", key="model_preset", value="deep")
+```
+
+This atomically swaps the model, provider, generation parameters, and context window for the next turn.
+
+If the preset name does not exist, the agent receives an error such as `model_preset 'unknown' not found. Available: fast, deep`.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Directly modifying `model` or `contextWindowTokens` via `my(action="set", key="model", ...)` still works, but it automatically clears the active preset because the live state no longer matches the preset bundle. Use `model_preset` for atomic switches instead.
+
+See [`my-tool.md`](./my-tool.md) for more runtime examples.
+
+---
+
+### Fallback Models
+
+When the primary model returns a transient error (rate limit, server overload, quota exhausted), nanobot can automatically fail over to a chain of backup models.
+
+**Configuration example:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "fast",
+      "fallbackModels": ["deep", "backup"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+1. nanobot tries the primary model first (the one from the active preset).
+2. The provider retries transient errors internally (e.g. 3 attempts with exponential backoff for 503/429).
+3. Only after the provider's own retries are exhausted and the final response still has `finish_reason == "error"` with a retryable error kind, nanobot moves to the next candidate in `fallbackModels`.
+4. Each candidate must be a preset name defined in `modelPresets`. The preset's full config (model, provider, generation params) is used.
+5. If all candidates are exhausted, the final error is returned to the user.
+
+**Failover triggers on:**
+- `server_error` (503, 502, 500)
+- `rate_limit` (429)
+- `insufficient_quota` / `quota_exhausted` (429)
+
+**Failover does NOT trigger on:**
+- Authentication errors (401) — rotating to another model with the same key won't help
+- Invalid request errors (400) — the request itself is malformed
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Fallback models must reference preset names defined in `modelPresets`. Define a preset for each fallback model you want to use: `["cheap-preset", "backup", "emergency"]`.
+

-## Pairing
-
-Pairing lets users get access to the bot through a simple code exchange — no config editing required. This works for both new users and existing users connecting from a new channel (e.g. someone already approved on Telegram now setting up Discord).
-
-### How it works
-
-1. A user sends a DM to the bot on any channel (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) where they aren't yet approved.
-2. The bot replies with a pairing code (like `ABCD-EFGH`) and tells them to forward it to you.
-3. You approve the code:
-
-```text
-/pairing approve ABCD-EFGH
-```
-
-4. The user can now chat with the bot normally.
-
-Pairing only works in **DMs** — unapproved users in group chats are silently ignored.
-
-### Pairing-only mode
-
-By default, if you don't set `allowFrom`, anyone who isn't approved yet will get a pairing code when they DM the bot. This means you can skip `allowFrom` entirely and manage all access through pairing:
-
-```json
-{
-  "channels": {
-    "telegram": {
-      "enabled": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-If you prefer to allow everyone without approval:
-
-```json
-{
-  "channels": {
-    "telegram": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "allowFrom": ["*"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Managing access
-
-| Command | What it does |
-|---------|-------------|
-| `/pairing` | Show all pending pairing requests |
-| `/pairing approve <code>` | Approve a request — the sender can now chat |
-| `/pairing deny <code>` | Reject a pending request |
-| `/pairing revoke <user_id>` | Remove a previously approved user from the current channel |

-# 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.
-

-      "apiKey": "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}"
-    }

-
-See [Provider Notes](#provider-notes) for AIHubMix, MiniMax, and Gemini 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.

-## 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": "${GEMINI_API_KEY}"
-    }
-  },
-  "tools": {
-    "imageGeneration": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "provider": "gemini",
-      "model": "gemini-2.5-flash-image"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Imagen 4 supports the aspect ratios `1:1`, `9:16`, `16:9`, `3:4`, and `4:3`. Unsupported ratios are ignored and the model uses its default. The `defaultImageSize` setting has no effect on Gemini models; sizing is controlled by `defaultAspectRatio` only. Reference images passed with an Imagen model are ignored (with a warning logged).
-
-### StepFun
-
-StepFun (阶跃星辰) `step-image-edit-2` supports text-to-image generation.  The `step-1x-medium` variant additionally supports **style-reference** image edits, where a reference image guides the visual style of the output.
-
-Supported aspect ratios: `1:1`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `3:4`, `4:3`.  Sizes are specified as `WIDTHxHEIGHT` (e.g. `1024x1024`, `1280x800`, `800x1280`).
-
-```json
-{
-  "providers": {
-    "stepfun": {
-      "apiKey": "${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.
-
-## 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`, or `stepfun` |
-| 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 |

+description: "Create a new nanobot instance with separate config and workspace. Use when the user wants to set up a new bot, create a new instance for a different channel, persona, or purpose. Triggers on: create instance, new bot, set up bot, add bot, create telegram/discord/feishu/slack/wechat/wecom/dingtalk/qq/email/matrix/msteams/whatsapp bot, multi-instance setup."
+---
+
+# Create Instance
+
+Set up a new nanobot instance with its own config and workspace.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Collect information** (ask one at a time if not already provided):
+   - **Instance name** (required): short identifier, e.g. `telegram-bot`, `work-slack`
+   - **Channel type** (required): see table below
+   - **Model** (optional): LLM model, defaults to current instance
+
+2. **Do NOT collect secrets** in the chat (API keys, bot tokens). API keys are automatically inherited from the current instance via `--inherit-config`. Channel-specific tokens must be filled in manually after creation.
+
+3. **Run the creation script**:
+
+```bash
+python <skill-dir>/scripts/create_instance.py --name <name> --channel <channel> --inherit-config <current-config>
+```
+
+- `<skill-dir>` — the directory containing this SKILL.md
+- `<current-config>` — current instance's config path, typically `~/.nanobot/config.json`
+- Optional: `--model <model>`, `--config-dir <path>`
+
+**Exec tool constraints:**
+- Use forward-slash paths (works on all platforms)
+- Do not wrap paths in quotes
+- Do not use `cd`; pass the full script path directly
+
+4. **Report results** to the user:
+   - Config and workspace paths (script outputs them)
+   - Required fields to fill in (script lists them)
+   - Start command: `nanobot gateway --config <config-path>`
+

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"Unknown channel"**: Channel name must match the Key column exactly. Run the script without arguments to see usage.
+- **"Config already exists"**: Use a different `--name` or `--config-dir` to create in a new location.
+- **Port conflicts**: The script auto-assigns free ports for gateway and API if defaults are in use.

LeftXandchengyongru	2e5930e355	feat: add fallback_models support for automatic model failover When the primary model fails (finish_reason="error" after exhausting provider-level retries), automatically try each model in the configured fallback_models list. Supports cross-provider fallback via a cached provider_factory that resolves the correct provider for each model string. Config: agents.defaults.fallback_models: ["model-b", "provider/model-c"] Changes: - AgentDefaults: add fallback_models field - AgentRunSpec: add fallback_models field - AgentRunner: add provider_factory, _call_provider, _resolve_fallback_provider - AgentLoop: accept and forward fallback_models + provider_factory - nanobot.py: extract _make_provider_for_model, add _make_provider_factory - cli/commands.py: add _make_cli_provider_factory, wire all AgentLoop sites - tests/agent/test_runner_fallback.py: 8 test cases covering primary success, single/multi fallback, cross-provider, no-factory reuse, caching Made-with: Cursor	2026-05-08 20:16:06 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	83f437a088	feat(config): add model preset support for runtime model switching Add ModelPresetConfig schema and model_presets dictionary to config, enabling named bundles of model parameters (model, temperature, max_tokens, reasoning_effort, context_window_tokens) that can be switched atomically at runtime via the self tool.	2026-05-08 20:16:06 +08:00
chengyongruandchengyongru	e34b7fd086	fix(onboard): allow empty strings and falsy values in input fields Fixes two related input-handling bugs in the onboard wizard: 1. _input_text treated "" as None, preventing users from clearing optional string fields or entering empty strings intentionally. 2. _input_model_with_autocomplete used `if value else None`, which discarded falsy values such as empty strings or 0. To support clearing optional string fields, add _is_str_or_none() and normalize empty strings to None inside _configure_pydantic_model only when the field annotation is `str \| None`. Required str fields keep "" as a valid value. Also included: - Remember last selected item in provider/channel/model menus for better UX when configuring multiple items. - Rename _SIMPLE_TYPES and _MENU_DISPATCH to lowercase to follow Python naming conventions (they are local variables, not constants). - Remove unused imports in test file. Extracted from PR #3358.	2026-05-08 13:13:20 +08:00
chengyongru	12005c20f0	fix(weixin): distinguish stale session from rate limit on ret=-2 Reference hermes-agent#17228 / #18100 / PR#18105. iLink returns ret=-2 / errcode=-2 for two different reasons: - stale context_token: errmsg is empty/None or "unknown error" - genuine rate limit: errmsg is populated (e.g. "frequency limit") Previously we swallowed all ret=-2 responses, which caused silent message drops when the context_token was stale. Changes: - Add _is_stale_session_ret() to detect empty/"unknown error" errmsg - _send_text/_send_media_file retry once without context_token on stale session signal, then raise on persistent failure so ChannelManager can retry with backoff - Remove error-swallowing behavior - Update tests to expect raises and add TestIsStaleSessionRet coverage	2026-05-08 09:41:12 +08:00
chengyongru	9fefb31344	fix(weixin): treat ret=-2 as non-fatal on sendmessage and align client_id format The iLink sendmessage API frequently returns ret=-2 (parameter error / rate limit / expired token) even when HTTP status is 200. The openclaw reference plugin ignores the JSON body for sendmessage entirely and only checks HTTP status. Our previous strict ret checking turned ret=-2 into RuntimeError, causing ChannelManager retries which only made things worse. Changes: - _send_text: swallow ret=-2 after one retry without context_token. Log request body + response at warning level for diagnostics. - _send_media_file: same ret=-2 swallowing. - _generate_client_id: change format to ``nanobot:{timestamp}-{hex}`` to match openclaw-weixin ``{prefix}:{Date.now()}-{hex}``. - Update tests to expect swallowing instead of raising for ret=-2.	2026-05-07 18:11:06 +08:00
chengyongru	28358980ed	fix(weixin): retry send without expired context_token on ret=-2 When the iLink API returns ret=-2 (parameter error), it is often caused by an expired context_token rather than a malformed payload. After a gateway restart, the cached token can become stale within ~90 seconds if no new inbound message refreshes it, causing all outbound replies to fail silently. Changes: - _send_text: retry once without context_token when ret=-2 and a token was present; if the retry succeeds, clear the expired token from cache. - Remove leftover @staticmethod on _check_response_error so self.logger and the body parameter work correctly. - Bump WEIXIN_CHANNEL_VERSION from 2.1.1 -> 2.1.7 to match the reference openclaw-weixin plugin. - Add tests covering the ret=-2 retry path, failure path, and no-token path. References: - openclaw/openclaw#61174 (context_token expiry after long agent turns) - hermes-agent#21011 (ret=-2 rate limiting / parameter error)	2026-05-07 17:43:04 +08:00
chengyongru	e9f4a868a8	fix(weixin): check both ret and errcode on send to avoid silent drops The iLink API signals failures through either `ret` or `errcode`. `_poll_once` already checked both, but `_send_text` and `_send_media_file` only checked `errcode`. When the API returned `ret != 0` with `errcode == 0`, the send appeared successful but the message was never delivered, causing the "still losing messages" issue. - Add `_check_response_error` helper that validates both fields - Use it in `_send_text` and `_send_media_file` - Add debug log after successful text send for observability - Add test for nonzero ret with zero errcode Refs: previous inbound fix (suppress -> explicit try/except)	2026-05-07 16:37:31 +08:00
chengyongru	2a318d6991	fix(weixin): log exceptions instead of silently dropping messages in poll loop Replace `with suppress(Exception)` in `_poll_once` message processing and the `start()` poll loop with explicit `try/except` blocks that log errors via `logger.exception`. Previously, any exception during message processing (e.g. in `_handle_message`) was swallowed silently, causing inbound messages to disappear without a trace. Also add tests verifying that: - `_poll_once` logs and continues when `_process_message` fails - the poll loop logs and continues when `_poll_once` fails	2026-05-07 15:23:36 +08:00

mohamed-elkholy95andchengyongru	84e8aed6b1	fix(transcription): retry Whisper calls and guard malformed responses A single transient failure between the agent and an OpenAI/Groq Whisper endpoint currently vanishes as `return ""` in transcribe(). The voice message arrives as the empty string and there is no way to tell real silence apart from a failed upload. A malformed but successful response body is even worse: the JSON-decode error escapes the helper unhandled. Add a shared `_post_transcription_with_retry` used by both providers. Retry behaviour: - exponential backoff 1s -> 2s -> 4s, up to 3 retries (4 attempts) - retryable HTTP statuses: 408, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504 - retryable exceptions: TimeoutException, ConnectError, ReadError, WriteError, RemoteProtocolError Non-transient failures short-circuit to "" on the first attempt -- retrying a misconfigured key or a broken upload only burns rate-limit quota. Branches that short-circuit: - missing API key, missing audio file - file-read errors (PermissionError, OSError) on the audio path, preserving the nightly contract for direct provider callers - HTTP auth/4xx body issues via raise_for_status() - response.json() parse failures - non-dict JSON payloads Sharing one helper means OpenAI and Groq cannot drift apart silently. Thread `language` through the helper. The multipart files dict is rebuilt inside the per-attempt loop, so when a caller sets self.language the `language` field is sent on every attempt -- not just the first. Tests cover: - every advertised retryable status and exception, parameterized - language present on attempts 1 and 2 of a 503->200 sequence - language absent when unset; present when set (both providers) - malformed JSON body and non-dict JSON body short-circuit to "" - PermissionError on file read short-circuits with no HTTP attempt - max-attempts give-up, exponential-backoff schedule, auth no-retry, missing-key / missing-file short-circuit Test stub fix: the _StubResponse in tests/channels/test_channel_plugins.py declared no status_code, which the new helper reads for retry classification. Set status_code = 200 so the stub advertises the successful response that those tests already simulate. Also moved the two transcription-provider imports to the top of that file (previously placed mid-file) so the file is ruff-clean (E402).	2026-05-06 15:51:13 +08:00
Tim O'Brienandchengyongru	fb313bd8d1	fix(tool_hints): pass max_length to abbreviate_path for is_path tools The is_path branch in _fmt_known was not passing max_length to abbreviate_path, so read_file, write_file, edit, list_dir, and web_fetch always truncated paths at 40 chars regardless of config.

chengyongruandchengyongru	5b45191cd9	refactor(sdk): move SDKCaptureHook to agent/hook.py Colocate the capture hook with the rest of the hook infrastructure instead of inlining it in the top-level facade module.	2026-05-04 23:37:09 +08:00
Mohamed Elkholyandchengyongru	a5fcf7786d	fix(sdk): populate RunResult.tools_used and RunResult.messages ``Nanobot.run()`` has always documented ``RunResult.tools_used`` and ``RunResult.messages`` but actually returned ``[]`` for both, so SDK consumers could never inspect which tools fired or what the final message list looked like — the only useful field was ``content``. This threads the data out via a tiny ``_SDKCaptureHook`` that installs alongside any user-supplied hooks. The capture hook accumulates tool names across iterations and snapshots the message list on each ``after_iteration`` call; the last snapshot reflects end-of-turn state. Only the SDK facade is touched: ``AgentLoop.process_direct`` and ``AgentRunner`` signatures are unchanged, so channels / CLI / API paths are unaffected.	2026-05-04 23:37:09 +08:00
