+## 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.

+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.

+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

+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

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.

+Enabled `stdio` servers receive contained `PLUGIN_ROOT` and isolated `PLUGIN_DATA` paths; explicit
+`tools.mcpServers` entries win collisions. Invalid or escaping components are ignored.
+An enabled package is treated as immutable: changing any packaged file disables it until the user
+reviews and enables it again. Runtime state belongs under `PLUGIN_DATA`, not the package root.
+
+Enabled plugins run as the nanobot user; permissions are descriptive, not an OS sandbox. The optional `extensions.dev.nanobot.logo` accepts a contained PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 256 KiB.

+### Cloudflare Tunnel + Cloudflare Access
+
+For a local `cloudflared` process in front of nanobot, Cloudflare Access can
+authenticate the user before forwarding the request and add
+`Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion`. Opt in to trusted-proxy no-token mode only when the
+direct TCP peer is the tunnel process and the assertion is non-empty:
+
+```json
+{
+  "gateway": { "host": "127.0.0.1" },
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "host": "127.0.0.1",
+      "port": 8765,
+      "publicWsUrl": "wss://nanobot.example.com/",
+      "trustedProxyAuth": {
+        "trustedPeerCidrs": ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1/128"],
+        "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.

+
+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

Replace the model with a model ID available to your OpenAI account. Direct OpenAI Responses, OpenAI Codex, Azure OpenAI Responses, and eligible GitHub Copilot models share [opaque Responses state retention](./configuration.md#responses-state-and-compaction); native compaction is enabled only where the backend supports it. The WebUI exposes provider-native switches for OpenAI web search, Codex Fast mode, DeepSeek web search, and Grok X Search. These switches write the corresponding raw provider request fields under `extraBody`.
+
+DeepSeek is the model-level exception in the OpenAI-compatible provider: `deepseek-v4-flash` and `deepseek-v4-pro` automatically use DeepSeek's native Responses API. Its native `web_search` tool is enabled by default and shows its lifecycle in WebUI chat activity; set `providers.deepseek.extraBody.tools` to `[]` to disable it.

+### ModelScope
+
+ModelScope (魔搭社区) exposes an OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint plus a separate async image generation API. Both are covered by the built-in `modelscope` provider.
+
+Create a ModelScope [access token](https://modelscope.cn/my/myaccesstoken), then choose a model whose page exposes API-Inference. The example below uses [`Qwen/Qwen3-32B`](https://modelscope.cn/models/Qwen/Qwen3-32B); hosted availability and quotas are controlled by ModelScope. See the official [API-Inference guide](https://modelscope.cn/docs/model-service/API-Inference/intro) for current service details.
+
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "modelscope": {
+      "apiKey": "${MODELSCOPE_API_KEY}"
+    }
+  },

+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "modelPreset": "primary"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+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:
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "imageGeneration": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "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.

+
+### 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.
