 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.

+Create a memory overview for only the final {{ archive_count }} conversation messages immediately before this instruction. Earlier messages are context for resolving references; do not summarize them again.

+Use [skip] unless a fact meets all SNIP criteria:
+- Signal: would the user need to repeat this if forgotten?
+- Novel: not just a restatement of another fact in this same conversation chunk
+- Important: prevents rework or captures preferences / rules
+- Persistent: still relevant after 2 weeks
 
-## Merge rules
+Format each fact as:
+- [mark] fact content
 
-- Use the latest correction or decision as the current version of a fact, and merge duplicates.
+Marks (choose the best match):
-- Preserve exact names, identifiers, paths, commands, decisions, results, and unresolved blockers when they are needed to continue the session.
+- [permanent] Core preferences, personal traits, habits — never becomes stale
-- Retain a fact already present in long-term memory when it is needed for session continuity.
+- [durable] Technical discoveries, project knowledge, config details — valid for months
+- [ephemeral] Active task state, temporary decisions — may change in weeks
+- [correction] Correction to a previous memory — state what changed
+- [skip] Conversational filler, code/source facts derivable from the repo, or audit-only breadcrumbs
 
-## What to retain
+Priority: user corrections and preferences > solutions > decisions > events > environment facts.
 
-Always retain a compact working-state handoff:
+Do not output facts already present in the system prompt's Recent History.
-- active objective
-- current status
-- completed results that constrain later work
-- unresolved blockers
-- next action
-- exact identifiers needed for that action
 
-Mark working-state facts `[ephemeral]`.
+Do not mark something [skip] merely because it might already exist in long-term memory.
 
-For other facts, retain a candidate only when it meets all four SNIP criteria:
+Return only formatted fact lines, or `(nothing)` if nothing noteworthy happened.
-- Signal: remembering it saves the user from repeating it
-- Novel: it adds a distinct fact to this checkpoint
-- Important: losing it would cause rework or discard a preference or rule
-- Persistent: it is expected to remain useful for at least two weeks
-
-Assign each retained fact its best current mark:
-- `[permanent]` for core preferences, personal traits, and habits that remain relevant indefinitely
-- `[durable]` for technical discoveries, project knowledge, and configuration that remains valid for months
-- `[ephemeral]` for active task state and temporary decisions that may change within weeks
-- `[correction]` for the current fact that supersedes conflicting earlier long-term memory
-
-When space is limited, prioritize user corrections and preferences, then solutions, decisions, events, and environment facts.
-
-## Output
-
-Return one concise retained fact per line in this form:
-- [mark] fact
-
-Use `(nothing)` when no fact qualifies and there is no active working state.

+- Use `edit_file` only for small exact replacements in one file, with `old_text` copied from `read_file`; when editing a specific numbered line, pass that exact line as `line_hint`; add `occurrence` or `expected_replacements` when ambiguity matters.

 - If `apply_patch` or `edit_file` fails, re-read with `force=true`, narrow the context, and try a smaller patch rather than switching to shell `sed` or `echo`.
 
 ## Process Execution
 
-- Use `exec` for processes, not file inspection or editing.
+- Use `exec` for tests, builds, package commands, git commands, and other process execution.
-- For interaction or early output, set `yield_time_ms` and continue with `exec_session` (`until_exit=true` when no further input is needed).
+- Prefer dedicated file/search tools over `cat`, shell `find`, shell `grep`, `sed`, or `echo` for ordinary workspace inspection and edits.
-- Use `list_exec_sessions` to recover session IDs.

+- Commands have a configurable timeout (default 60s), dangerous commands are blocked, and output is truncated.
+- For long-running or interactive commands, pass `yield_time_ms`; if the process keeps running, continue with `write_stdin`.
+- Use `write_stdin` to poll, provide stdin, close stdin, wait for expected output with `wait_for`, or terminate an existing exec session.
