fix(loop): strip input_audio and video_url before session persistence

Code review found that _sanitize_persisted_blocks only stripped
image_url blocks, causing base64-encoded audio/video payloads to
bloat session history files.

- Extend _sanitize_persisted_blocks to replace input_audio and
  video_url blocks with text placeholders using LLMProvider._media_placeholder.
- Add tests for audio/video stripping with and without _meta.path.

All 3267 tests pass.

+# 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.

.agent/gotchas.md

+# 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.

.agent/security.md

@@ -0,0 +1,25 @@
+# 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.
+
+### Entry Points
+
+- **CLI**: `nanobot/cli/commands.py`
+- **Python SDK**: `nanobot/nanobot.py`
+

-# Context Budget (`context_budget_tokens`)
-
-Caps how many tokens of old session history are sent to the LLM during tool-loop iterations 2+. Reduces cost and first-token latency by trimming history between turns.
-
-## How It Works
-
-During multi-turn tool-use sessions, each iteration re-sends the full conversation history. `context_budget_tokens` limits how many old tokens are included:
-
-- **Iteration 1** — always receives full context (no trimming)
-- **Iteration 2+** — old history is trimmed to fit within the budget; current turn is never trimmed
-- **Memory consolidation** — runs before/after the loop and always sees the full canonical history; trimming only affects the LLM's view
-
-## Configuration
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "context_budget_tokens": 1000
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Value | Behavior |
-|---|---|
-
----
-
-`0` (default) | No trimming — full history sent every iteration
-`4000` | Conservative — barely trims in practice; good for multi-step tasks
-`1000` | Aggressive — significant savings; works well for typical linear tasks
-`< 500` | Clamped to `500` minimum when positive (1–2 message pairs at typical token density)
-
-## Trade-offs
-
-**Cost & latency** — Trimming reduces tokens sent each iteration, which saves money and lowers first-token time (TTFT). This is nanobot's primary sweet spot.
-
-**Context loss** — Older context is not visible to the LLM in later iterations. For tasks that genuinely require 20+ iterations of history to stay coherent, consider `0` or `4000`.
-
-**Tool-result truncation** — Large results from a previous turn (e.g., reading a 10,000-line file in Round 1, then editing in Round 2) can be trimmed. The agent can re-read the file via its tools — this is a 1-tool-call recovery cost, not a failure.
-
-**Prefix caching** — Some providers (e.g., DeepSeek) use implicit prefix-based caching. Aggressive trimming breaks prefix matching and can reduce cache hit rates. For these providers, `0` or a high value may be more cost-effective overall.
-
-## When to Use
-
-| Use case | Recommended value |
-|---|---|
-| Simple read → process → act chains | `1000` |
-| Multi-step reasoning with tool chains | `4000` |
-| Complex debugging / long task traces | `0` |
-| Providers with implicit prefix caching | `0` or `4000` |
-| Long file operations across turns | `0` or re-read via tools |
-
-## Example
-
-```
-Turn 1: User asks to read a.py (10k lines)
-Turn 2: User asks to edit line 100
-```
-
-With `context_budget_tokens=500`, the file-content result from Turn 1 may be trimmed before Turn 2. The agent will re-read the file to perform the edit — a 1-call recovery. This is normal behavior for the feature; it is not a bug.

+## 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(
+        self,
+        chat_id: str,
+        delta: str,
+        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()`.
+
 ## Config
 
-Your channel receives config as a plain `dict`. Access fields with `.get()`:
+### Why Pydantic model is required
+
+`BaseChannel.is_allowed()` reads the permission list via `getattr(self.config, "allow_from", [])`. This works for Pydantic models where `allow_from` is a real Python attribute, but **fails silently for plain `dict`** — `dict` has no `allow_from` attribute, so `getattr` always returns the default `[]`, causing all messages to be denied.
+
+Built-in channels use Pydantic config models (subclassing `Base` from `nanobot.config.schema`). Plugin channels **must do the same**.
+
+### Pattern
+
+1. Define a Pydantic model inheriting from `nanobot.config.schema.Base`:
+
+```python
+from pydantic import Field
+from nanobot.config.schema import Base
+
+class WebhookConfig(Base):
+    """Webhook channel configuration."""
+    enabled: bool = False
+    port: int = 9000
+    allow_from: list[str] = Field(default_factory=list)
+```
+
+`Base` is configured with `alias_generator=to_camel` and `populate_by_name=True`, so JSON keys like `"allowFrom"` and `"allow_from"` are both accepted.
+
+2. Convert `dict` → model in `__init__`:
+
+```python
+from typing import Any
+from nanobot.bus.queue import MessageBus
+
+class WebhookChannel(BaseChannel):
+    def __init__(self, config: Any, bus: MessageBus):
+        if isinstance(config, dict):
+            config = WebhookConfig(**config)
+        super().__init__(config, bus)
+```
+
+3. Access config as attributes (not `.get()`):
 
 ```python
 async def start(self) -> None:
-    port = self.config.get("port", 9000)
-    token = self.config.get("token", "")
+    port = self.config.port
+    token = self.config.token
 ```
 
 `allowFrom` is handled automatically by `_handle_message()` — you don't need to check it yourself.
@@ -348,9 +512,11 @@ Override `default_config()` so `nanobot onboard` auto-populates `config.json`:

-    return {"enabled": False, "port": 9000, "allowFrom": []}
+    return WebhookConfig().model_dump(by_alias=True)
 ```
 
+> **Note:** `default_config()` returns a plain `dict` (not a Pydantic model) because it's used to serialize into `config.json`.

+**1. Create/choose a Matrix account**
+
+- Create or reuse a Matrix account on your homeserver (for example `matrix.org`).
+- Confirm you can log in with Element.
+
+**2. Get credentials**
+
+- You need:
+  - `userId` (example: `@nanobot:matrix.org`)
+  - `password`
+
+(Note: `accessToken` and `deviceId` are still supported for legacy reasons, but
+for reliable encryption, password login is recommended instead. If the
+`password` is provided, `accessToken` and `deviceId` will be ignored.)

+Uses **WebSocket** long connection — no public IP required.
+
+**1. Create a Feishu bot**
+- Visit [Feishu Open Platform](https://open.feishu.cn/app)
+- Create a new app → Enable **Bot** capability
+- **Permissions**:
+  - `im:message` (send messages) and `im:message.p2p_msg:readonly` (receive messages)
+  - **Streaming replies** (default in nanobot): add **`cardkit:card:write`** (often labeled **Create and update cards** in the Feishu developer console). Required for CardKit entities and streamed assistant text. Older apps may not have it yet — open **Permission management**, enable the scope, then **publish** a new app version if the console requires it.
+  - If you **cannot** add `cardkit:card:write`, set `"streaming": false` under `channels.feishu` (see below). The bot still works; replies use normal interactive cards without token-by-token streaming.
+- **Events**: Add `im.message.receive_v1` (receive messages)
+  - Select **Long Connection** mode (requires running nanobot first to establish connection)
+- Get **App ID** and **App Secret** from "Credentials & Basic Info"
+- Publish the app
+
+**2. Configure**

+> `streaming` defaults to `true`. Use `false` if your app does not have **`cardkit:card:write`** (see permissions above).
+> `encryptKey` and `verificationToken` are optional for Long Connection mode.
+> `allowFrom`: Add your open_id (find it in nanobot logs when you message the bot). Use `["*"]` to allow all users.
+> `groupPolicy`: `"mention"` (default — respond only when @mentioned), `"open"` (respond to all group messages). Private chats always respond.
+> `reactEmoji`: Emoji for "processing" status (default: `OnIt`). See [available emojis](https://open.larkoffice.com/document/server-docs/im-v1/message-reaction/emojis-introduce).
+> `doneEmoji`: Optional emoji for "completed" status (e.g., `DONE`, `OK`, `HEART`). When set, bot adds this reaction after removing `reactEmoji`.
+> `toolHintPrefix`: Prefix for inline tool hints in streaming cards (default: `🔧`).
+> `domain`: `"feishu"` (default) for China (open.feishu.cn), `"lark"` for international Lark (open.larksuite.com).

+# In-Chat Commands
+
+These commands work inside chat channels and interactive agent sessions:
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/new` | Stop current task and start a new conversation |
+| `/stop` | Stop the current task |
+| `/restart` | Restart the bot |
+| `/status` | Show bot status |
+| `/model` | Show the current model and available model presets |
+| `/model <preset>` | Switch the runtime model preset for future turns |
+| `/dream` | Run Dream memory consolidation now |
+| `/dream-log` | Show the latest Dream memory change |
+| `/dream-log <sha>` | Show a specific Dream memory change |
+| `/dream-restore` | List recent Dream memory versions |
+| `/dream-restore <sha>` | Restore memory to the state before a specific change |
+| `/pairing` | List pending pairing requests |
+| `/pairing approve <code>` | Approve a pairing code |
+| `/pairing deny <code>` | Deny a pending pairing request |
+| `/pairing revoke <user_id>` | Revoke a previously approved user on the current channel |
+| `/pairing revoke <channel> <user_id>` | Revoke a previously approved user on a specific channel |
+| `/help` | Show available in-chat commands |
+
+## 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.
+
+## Periodic Tasks
+
+The gateway wakes up every 30 minutes and checks `HEARTBEAT.md` in your workspace (`~/.nanobot/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md`). If the file has tasks, the agent executes them and delivers results to your most recently active chat channel.
+
+**Setup:** edit `~/.nanobot/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md` (created automatically by `nanobot onboard`):
+
+```markdown
+## Periodic Tasks
+
+- [ ] Check weather forecast and send a summary
+- [ ] Scan inbox for urgent emails
+```
+
+The agent can also manage this file itself — ask it to "add a periodic task" and it will update `HEARTBEAT.md` for you.
+
+> **Note:** The gateway must be running (`nanobot gateway`) and you must have chatted with the bot at least once so it knows which channel to deliver to.

+# Deployment
+
+## Docker
+
+> [!TIP]
+> The `-v ~/.nanobot:/home/nanobot/.nanobot` flag mounts your local config directory into the container, so your config and workspace persist across container restarts.
+> The container runs as the non-root user `nanobot` (UID 1000) and reads config from `/home/nanobot/.nanobot`. Always mount your host config directory to `/home/nanobot/.nanobot`, not `/root/.nanobot`.
+> If you get **Permission denied**, fix ownership on the host first: `sudo chown -R 1000:1000 ~/.nanobot`, or pass `--user $(id -u):$(id -g)` to match your host UID. Podman users can use `--userns=keep-id` instead.
+>
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Official Docker usage currently means building from this repository with the included `Dockerfile`. Docker Hub images under third-party namespaces are not maintained or verified by HKUDS/nanobot; do not mount API keys or bot tokens into them unless you trust the publisher.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The gateway and WebSocket channel default to `host: "127.0.0.1"` in `config.json` (set in `nanobot/config/schema.py`). Docker `-p` port forwarding cannot reach a container's loopback interface, so for the host or LAN to reach the exposed ports you must set both binds to `0.0.0.0` in `~/.nanobot/config.json` before starting the container:
+>
+> ```json
+> {
+>   "gateway":  { "host": "0.0.0.0" },
+>   "channels": { "websocket": { "host": "0.0.0.0" } }
+> }
+> ```
+>
+> When `host` is `0.0.0.0`, the gateway refuses to start unless `token` or `tokenIssueSecret` is also configured on the WebSocket channel — see [`webui/README.md`](../webui/README.md) for details.

+```
+
+## Linux Service
+
+Run the gateway as a systemd user service so it starts automatically and restarts on failure.
+
+**1. Find the nanobot binary path:**
+
+```bash
+which nanobot   # e.g. /home/user/.local/bin/nanobot
+```
+
+**2. Create the service file** at `~/.config/systemd/user/nanobot-gateway.service` (replace `ExecStart` path if needed):
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Nanobot Gateway
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+ExecStart=%h/.local/bin/nanobot gateway
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=10
+NoNewPrivileges=yes
+ProtectSystem=strict
+ReadWritePaths=%h
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+
+**3. Enable and start:**
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user enable --now nanobot-gateway
+```
+
+**Common operations:**
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user status nanobot-gateway        # check status
+systemctl --user restart nanobot-gateway       # restart after config changes
+journalctl --user -u nanobot-gateway -f        # follow logs
+```
+
+If you edit the `.service` file itself, run `systemctl --user daemon-reload` before restarting.
+
+> **Note:** User services only run while you are logged in. To keep the gateway running after logout, enable lingering:
+>
+> ```bash
+> loginctl enable-linger $USER
+> ```
+
+## macOS LaunchAgent
+
+Use a LaunchAgent when you want `nanobot gateway` to stay online after you log in, without keeping a terminal open.
+
+**1. Get the absolute `nanobot` path:**
+
+```bash
+which nanobot   # e.g. /Users/youruser/.local/bin/nanobot
+```
+
+Use that exact path in the plist. It keeps the Python environment from your install method.
+
+**2. Create `~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.nanobot.gateway.plist`:**
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

+
+  <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
+  <string>/Users/youruser/.nanobot/logs/gateway.error.log</string>
+</dict>
+</plist>
+```
+
+**3. Load and start it:**
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/.nanobot/logs
+launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.nanobot.gateway.plist
+launchctl enable gui/$(id -u)/ai.nanobot.gateway
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/ai.nanobot.gateway
+```
+
+**Common operations:**
+
+```bash
+launchctl list | grep ai.nanobot.gateway
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/ai.nanobot.gateway   # restart
+launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.nanobot.gateway.plist
+```
+
+After editing the plist, run `launchctl bootout ...` and `launchctl bootstrap ...` again.
+
+> **Note:** if startup fails with "address already in use", stop the manually started `nanobot gateway` process first.

+# 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.
+
+The feature is disabled by default. Enable it in `~/.nanobot/config.json`, configure a supported image provider, then restart the gateway.
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "openrouter": {
+      "apiKey": "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}"
+    }
+  },
+  "tools": {
+    "imageGeneration": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "provider": "openrouter",
+      "model": "openai/gpt-5.4-image-2"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+See [Provider Notes](#provider-notes) for AIHubMix, MiniMax, and Gemini configuration examples.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Prefer environment variables for API keys. nanobot resolves `${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.
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `tools.imageGeneration.enabled` | boolean | `false` | Register the `generate_image` tool |
+| `tools.imageGeneration.provider` | string | `"openrouter"` | Image provider name. Supported values: `openrouter`, `aihubmix`, `minimax`, `gemini`, `stepfun` |
+| `tools.imageGeneration.model` | string | `"openai/gpt-5.4-image-2"` | Provider model name |
+| `tools.imageGeneration.defaultAspectRatio` | string | `"1:1"` | Default ratio when the prompt/tool call does not specify one |
+| `tools.imageGeneration.defaultImageSize` | string | `"1K"` | Default size hint, for example `1K`, `2K`, `4K`, or `1024x1024` |
+| `tools.imageGeneration.maxImagesPerTurn` | number | `4` | Maximum `count` accepted by one tool call. Valid range: `1` to `8` |
+| `tools.imageGeneration.saveDir` | string | `"generated"` | Relative directory under nanobot's media directory for generated artifacts |
+
+Provider settings reuse normal provider config fields:
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `providers.<name>.apiKey` | Provider API key. Prefer `${ENV_VAR}` |
+| `providers.<name>.apiBase` | Optional custom base URL |
+| `providers.<name>.extraHeaders` | Headers merged into provider requests |
+| `providers.<name>.extraBody` | Extra JSON fields merged into provider request bodies |
+
+Both camelCase and snake_case config keys are accepted, but docs use camelCase to match `config.json`.
+
+## Provider Notes
+
+### OpenRouter
+
+OpenRouter uses a chat-completions style image response. Configure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "imageGeneration": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "provider": "openrouter",
+      "model": "openai/gpt-5.4-image-2"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Use a model that supports image generation and image editing if you want reference-image edits.
+
+### AIHubMix
+
+AIHubMix `gpt-image-2-free` is supported through AIHubMix's unified predictions API. Internally nanobot calls:
+
+```text
+/v1/models/openai/gpt-image-2-free/predictions
+```
+
+Configure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "aihubmix": {
+      "apiKey": "${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 |

+# Memory in nanobot
+
+nanobot's memory is built on a simple belief: memory should feel alive, but it should not feel chaotic.
+
+Good memory is not a pile of notes. It is a quiet system of attention. It notices what is worth keeping, lets go of what no longer needs the spotlight, and turns lived experience into something calm, durable, and useful.
+
+That is the shape of memory in nanobot.
+
+## The Design
+
+nanobot does not treat memory as one giant file.
+
+It separates memory into layers, because different kinds of remembering deserve different tools:
+
+- `session.messages` holds the living short-term conversation.
+- `memory/history.jsonl` is the running archive of compressed past turns.
+- `SOUL.md`, `USER.md`, and `memory/MEMORY.md` are the durable knowledge files.
+- `GitStore` records how those durable files change over time.
+
+This keeps the system light in the moment, but reflective over time.
+
+## The Flow
+
+Memory moves through nanobot in two stages.
+
+### Stage 1: Consolidator
+
+When a conversation grows large enough to pressure the context window, nanobot does not try to carry every old message forever.
+
+Instead, the `Consolidator` summarizes the oldest safe slice of the conversation and appends that summary to `memory/history.jsonl`.
+
+This file is:
+
+- append-only
+- cursor-based
+- optimized for machine consumption first, human inspection second
+
+Each line is a JSON object:
+
+```json
+{"cursor": 42, "timestamp": "2026-04-03 00:02", "content": "- User prefers dark mode\n- Decided to use PostgreSQL"}
+```
+
+It is not the final memory. It is the material from which final memory is shaped.
+
+### Stage 2: Dream
+
+`Dream` is the slower, more thoughtful layer. It runs on a cron schedule by default and can also be triggered manually.
+
+Dream reads:
+
+- new entries from `memory/history.jsonl`
+- the current `SOUL.md`
+- the current `USER.md`
+- the current `memory/MEMORY.md`
+
+Then it works in two phases:
+
+1. It studies what is new and what is already known.
+2. It edits the long-term files surgically, not by rewriting everything, but by making the smallest honest change that keeps memory coherent.
+
+This is why nanobot's memory is not just archival. It is interpretive.
+
+## The Files
+
+```text
+workspace/
+├── SOUL.md              # The bot's long-term voice and communication style
+├── USER.md              # Stable knowledge about the user
+└── memory/
+    ├── MEMORY.md        # Project facts, decisions, and durable context
+    ├── history.jsonl    # Append-only history summaries
+    ├── .cursor          # Consolidator write cursor
+    ├── .dream_cursor    # Dream consumption cursor
+    └── .git/            # Version history for long-term memory files
+```
+
+These files play different roles:
+
+- `SOUL.md` remembers how nanobot should sound.
+- `USER.md` remembers who the user is and what they prefer.
+- `MEMORY.md` remembers what remains true about the work itself.
+- `history.jsonl` remembers what happened on the way there.
+
+## Why `history.jsonl`
+
+The old `HISTORY.md` format was pleasant for casual reading, but it was too fragile as an operational substrate.
+
+`history.jsonl` gives nanobot:
+
+- stable incremental cursors
+- safer machine parsing
+- easier batching
+- cleaner migration and compaction
+- a better boundary between raw history and curated knowledge
+
+You can still search it with familiar tools:
+
+```bash
+# grep
+grep -i "keyword" memory/history.jsonl
+
+# jq
+cat memory/history.jsonl | jq -r 'select(.content | test("keyword"; "i")) | .content' | tail -20
+
+# Python
+python -c "import json; [print(json.loads(l).get('content','')) for l in open('memory/history.jsonl','r',encoding='utf-8') if l.strip() and 'keyword' in l.lower()][-20:]"
+```
+
+The difference is philosophical as much as technical:
+
+- `history.jsonl` is for structure
+- `SOUL.md`, `USER.md`, and `MEMORY.md` are for meaning
+
+## Commands
+
+Memory is not hidden behind the curtain. Users can inspect and guide it.
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|--------------|
+| `/dream` | Run Dream immediately |
+| `/dream-log` | Show the latest Dream memory change |
+| `/dream-log <sha>` | Show a specific Dream change |
+| `/dream-restore` | List recent Dream memory versions |
+| `/dream-restore <sha>` | Restore memory to the state before a specific change |
+
+These commands exist for a reason: automatic memory is powerful, but users should always retain the right to inspect, understand, and restore it.
+
+## Versioned Memory
+
+After Dream changes long-term memory files, nanobot can record that change with `GitStore`.
+
+This gives memory a history of its own:
+
+- you can inspect what changed
+- you can compare versions
+- you can restore a previous state
+
+That turns memory from a silent mutation into an auditable process.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Dream is configured under `agents.defaults.dream`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "dream": {
+        "intervalH": 2,
+        "modelOverride": null,
+        "maxBatchSize": 20,
+        "maxIterations": 10
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `intervalH` | How often Dream runs, in hours |
+| `modelOverride` | Optional Dream-specific model override |
+| `maxBatchSize` | How many history entries Dream processes per run |
+| `maxIterations` | The tool budget for Dream's editing phase |
+
+In practical terms:
+
+- `modelOverride: null` means Dream uses the same model as the main agent. Set it only if you want Dream to run on a different model.
+- `maxBatchSize` controls how many new `history.jsonl` entries Dream consumes in one run. Larger batches catch up faster; smaller batches are lighter and steadier.
+- `maxIterations` limits how many read/edit steps Dream can take while updating `SOUL.md`, `USER.md`, and `MEMORY.md`. It is a safety budget, not a quality score.
+- `intervalH` is the normal way to configure Dream. Internally it runs as an `every` schedule, not as a cron expression.
+
+Legacy note:
+
+- Older source-based configs may still contain `dream.cron`. nanobot continues to honor it for backward compatibility, but new configs should use `intervalH`.
+- Older source-based configs may still contain `dream.model`. nanobot continues to honor it for backward compatibility, but new configs should use `modelOverride`.
+
+## In Practice
+
+What this means in daily use is simple:
+
+- conversations can stay fast without carrying infinite context
+- durable facts can become clearer over time instead of noisier
+- the user can inspect and restore memory when needed
+
+Memory should not feel like a dump. It should feel like continuity.
+
+That is what this design is trying to protect.

+# Multiple Instances
+
+Run multiple nanobot instances simultaneously with separate configs and runtime data. Use `--config` as the main entrypoint. Optionally pass `--workspace` during `onboard` when you want to initialize or update the saved workspace for a specific instance.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+If you want each instance to have its own dedicated workspace from the start, pass both `--config` and `--workspace` during onboarding.
+
+**Initialize instances:**
+
+```bash
+# Create separate instance configs and workspaces
+nanobot onboard --config ~/.nanobot-telegram/config.json --workspace ~/.nanobot-telegram/workspace
+nanobot onboard --config ~/.nanobot-discord/config.json --workspace ~/.nanobot-discord/workspace
+nanobot onboard --config ~/.nanobot-feishu/config.json --workspace ~/.nanobot-feishu/workspace
+```
+
+**Configure each instance:**
+
+Edit `~/.nanobot-telegram/config.json`, `~/.nanobot-discord/config.json`, etc. with different channel settings. The workspace you passed during `onboard` is saved into each config as that instance's default workspace.
+
+**Run instances:**
+
+```bash
+# Instance A - Telegram bot
+nanobot gateway --config ~/.nanobot-telegram/config.json
+
+# Instance B - Discord bot
+nanobot gateway --config ~/.nanobot-discord/config.json
+
+# Instance C - Feishu bot with custom port
+nanobot gateway --config ~/.nanobot-feishu/config.json --port 18792
+```
+
+## Path Resolution
+
+When using `--config`, nanobot derives its runtime data directory from the config file location. The workspace still comes from `agents.defaults.workspace` unless you override it with `--workspace`.
+
+To open a CLI session against one of these instances locally:
+
+```bash
+nanobot agent -c ~/.nanobot-telegram/config.json -m "Hello from Telegram instance"
+nanobot agent -c ~/.nanobot-discord/config.json -m "Hello from Discord instance"
+
+# Optional one-off workspace override
+nanobot agent -c ~/.nanobot-telegram/config.json -w /tmp/nanobot-telegram-test
+```
+
+> `nanobot agent` starts a local CLI agent using the selected workspace/config. It does not attach to or proxy through an already running `nanobot gateway` process.
+
+| Component | Resolved From | Example |
+|-----------|---------------|---------|
+| **Config** | `--config` path | `~/.nanobot-A/config.json` |
+| **Workspace** | `--workspace` or config | `~/.nanobot-A/workspace/` |
+| **Cron Jobs** | config directory | `~/.nanobot-A/cron/` |
+| **Media / runtime state** | config directory | `~/.nanobot-A/media/` |
+
+## How It Works
+
+- `--config` selects which config file to load
+- By default, the workspace comes from `agents.defaults.workspace` in that config
+- If you pass `--workspace`, it overrides the workspace from the config file
+
+## Minimal Setup
+
+1. Copy your base config into a new instance directory.
+2. Set a different `agents.defaults.workspace` for that instance.
+3. Start the instance with `--config`.
+
+Example config:
+
+```json

+
+Start separate instances:
+
+```bash
+nanobot gateway --config ~/.nanobot-telegram/config.json
+nanobot gateway --config ~/.nanobot-discord/config.json
+```
+
+Each gateway instance also exposes a lightweight HTTP health endpoint on
+`gateway.host:gateway.port`. By default, the gateway binds to `127.0.0.1`,
+so the endpoint stays local unless you explicitly set `gateway.host` to a
+public or LAN-facing address.
+
+- `GET /health` returns `{"status":"ok"}`
+- Other paths return `404`
+
+Override workspace for one-off runs when needed:
+
+```bash
+nanobot gateway --config ~/.nanobot-telegram/config.json --workspace /tmp/nanobot-telegram-test
+```
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+- Run separate bots for Telegram, Discord, Feishu, and other platforms
+- Keep testing and production instances isolated
+- Use different models or providers for different teams
+- Serve multiple tenants with separate configs and runtime data
+
+## Notes
+
+- Each instance must use a different port if they run at the same time
+- Use a different workspace per instance if you want isolated memory, sessions, and skills
+- `--workspace` overrides the workspace defined in the config file
+- Cron jobs and runtime media/state are derived from the config directory

+# My Tool
+
+Let the agent sense and adjust its own runtime state — like asking a coworker "are you busy? can you switch to a bigger monitor?"
+
+## Why You Need It
+
+Normal tools let the agent operate on the outside world (read/write files, search code). But the agent knows nothing about itself — it doesn't know which model it's running on, how many iterations are left, or how many tokens it has consumed.
+
+My tool fills this gap. With it, the agent can:
+
+- **Know who it is**: What model am I using? Where is my workspace? How many iterations remain?
+- **Adapt on the fly**: Complex task? Expand the context window. Simple chat? Switch to a faster model.
+- **Remember across turns**: Store notes in your scratchpad that persist into the next conversation turn.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Enabled by default (read-only mode). The agent can check its state but not set it.
+
+```yaml
+tools:
+  my:
+    enable: true       # default: true
+    allow_set: false   # default: false (read-only)
+```
+
+To allow the agent to set its configuration (e.g. switch models, adjust parameters), set `tools.my.allow_set: true`.
+
+Legacy `tools.myEnabled` / `tools.mySet` keys are auto-migrated on load, and
+rewritten in-place the next time `nanobot onboard` refreshes the config.
+
+All modifications are held in memory only — restart restores defaults.
+
+---
+
+## check — Check "my" current state
+
+Without parameters, returns a key config overview:
+
+```text
+my(action="check")
+# → max_iterations: 40
+#   context_window_tokens: 65536
+#   model: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514'
+#   workspace: PosixPath('/tmp/workspace')
+#   provider_retry_mode: 'standard'
+#   max_tool_result_chars: 16000
+#   _current_iteration: 3
+#   _last_usage: {'prompt_tokens': 45000, 'completion_tokens': 8000}
+#   Note: prompt_tokens is cumulative across all turns, not current context window occupancy.
+```
+
+With a key parameter, drill into a specific config:
+
+```text
+my(action="check", key="_last_usage.prompt_tokens")
+# → How many prompt tokens I've used so far
+
+my(action="check", key="model")
+# → What model I'm currently running on
+
+my(action="check", key="web_config.enable")
+# → Whether web search is enabled
+```
+
+### What you can do with it
+
+| Scenario | How |
+|----------|-----|
+| "What model are you using?" | `check("model")` |
+| "How many more tool calls can you make?" | `check("max_iterations")` minus `check("_current_iteration")` |
+| "How many tokens has this conversation used?" | `check("_last_usage")` — cumulative across all turns |
+| "Where is your working directory?" | `check("workspace")` |
+| "Show me your full config" | `check()` |
+| "Are there any subagents running?" | `check("subagents")` — shows phase, iteration, elapsed time, tool events |
+
+---
+
+## set — Runtime tuning
+
+Changes take effect immediately, no restart required.
+
+```text
+my(action="set", key="max_iterations", value=80)
+# → Bump iteration limit from 40 to 80
+
+my(action="set", key="model", value="fast-model")
+# → Switch to a faster model
+
+my(action="set", key="context_window_tokens", value=131072)
+# → Expand context window for long documents
+```
+
+You can also store custom state in your scratchpad:
+
+```text
+my(action="set", key="current_project", value="nanobot")
+my(action="set", key="user_style_preference", value="concise")
+my(action="set", key="task_complexity", value="high")
+# → These values persist into the next conversation turn
+```
+
+### Protected parameters
+
+These parameters have type and range validation — invalid values are rejected:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Range | Purpose |
+|-----------|------|-------|---------|
+| `max_iterations` | int | 1–100 | Max tool calls per conversation turn |
+| `context_window_tokens` | int | 4,096–1,000,000 | Context window size |
+| `model` | str | non-empty | LLM model to use |
+
+Other parameters (e.g. `workspace`, `provider_retry_mode`, `max_tool_result_chars`) can be set freely, as long as the value is JSON-safe.
+
+---
+
+## Practical Scenarios
+
+### "This task is complex, I need more room"
+
+```text
+Agent: This codebase is large, let me expand my context window to handle it.
+→ my(action="set", key="context_window_tokens", value=131072)
+```
+
+### "Simple question, don't waste compute"
+
+```text
+Agent: This is a straightforward question, let me switch to a faster model.
+→ my(action="set", key="model", value="fast-model")
+```
+
+### "Remember user preferences across turns"
+
+```text
+Turn 1: my(action="set", key="user_prefers_concise", value=True)
+Turn 2: my(action="check", key="user_prefers_concise")
+# → True (still remembers the user likes concise replies)
+```
+
+### "Self-diagnosis"
+
+```text
+User: "Why aren't you searching the web?"
+Agent: Let me check my web config.
+→ my(action="check", key="web_config.enable")
+# → False
+Agent: Web search is disabled — please set web.enable: true in your config.
+```
+
+### "Token budget management"
+
+```text
+Agent: Let me check how much budget I have left.
+→ my(action="check", key="_last_usage")
+# → {"prompt_tokens": 45000, "completion_tokens": 8000}
+Agent: I've used ~53k tokens total so far. I'll keep my remaining replies concise.
+```
+
+### "Subagent monitoring"
+
+```text
+Agent: Let me check on the background tasks.
+→ my(action="check", key="subagents")
+# → 2 subagent(s):
+#   [task-1] 'Code review'
+#     phase: running, iteration: 5, elapsed: 12.3s
+#     tools: read(✓), grep(✓)
+#     usage: {'prompt_tokens': 8000, 'completion_tokens': 1200}
+#   [task-2] 'Write tests'
+#     phase: pending, iteration: 0, elapsed: 0.2s
+#     tools: none
+Agent: The code review is progressing well. The test task hasn't started yet.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Safety Mechanisms
+
+Core design principle: **All modifications live in memory only. Restart restores defaults.** The agent cannot cause persistent damage.
+
+### Off-limits (BLOCKED)
+
+Cannot be checked or modified — fully hidden:
+
+| Category | Attributes | Reason |
+|----------|-----------|--------|
+| Core infrastructure | `bus`, `provider`, `_running` | Changes would crash the system |
+| Tool registry | `tools` | Must not remove its own tools |
+| Subsystems | `runner`, `sessions`, `consolidator`, etc. | Affects other users/sessions |
+| Sensitive data | `_mcp_servers`, `_pending_queues`, etc. | Contains credentials and message routing |
+| Security boundaries | `restrict_to_workspace`, `channels_config` | Bypassing would violate isolation |
+| Python internals | `__class__`, `__dict__`, etc. | Prevents sandbox escape |
+
+### Read-only (check only)
+
+Can be checked but not set:
+
+| Category | Attributes | Reason |
+|----------|-----------|--------|
+| Subagent manager | `subagents` | Observable, but replacing breaks the system |
+| Execution config | `exec_config` | Can check sandbox/enable status, cannot change it |
+| Web config | `web_config` | Can check enable status, cannot change it |
+| Iteration counter | `_current_iteration` | Updated by runner only |
+
+### Sensitive field protection
+
+Sub-fields matching sensitive names (`api_key`, `password`, `secret`, `token`, etc.) are blocked from both check and set, regardless of parent path. This prevents credential leaks via dot-path traversal (e.g. `web_config.search.api_key`).

+# OpenAI-Compatible API
+
+nanobot can expose a minimal OpenAI-compatible endpoint for local integrations:
+
+```bash
+pip install "nanobot-ai[api]"
+nanobot serve
+```
+
+By default, the API binds to `127.0.0.1:8900`. You can change this in `config.json`.
+
+## Behavior
+
+- Session isolation: pass `"session_id"` in the request body to isolate conversations; omit for a shared default session (`api:default`)
+- Single-message input: each request must contain exactly one `user` message
+- Fixed model: omit `model`, or pass the same model shown by `/v1/models`
+- Streaming: set `stream=true` to receive Server-Sent Events (`text/event-stream`) with OpenAI-compatible delta chunks, terminated by `data: [DONE]`; omit or set `stream=false` for a single JSON response
+- **File uploads**: supports images, PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx) via JSON base64 or `multipart/form-data` (max 10MB per file)
+- API requests run in the synthetic `api` channel, so the `message` tool does **not** automatically deliver to Telegram/Discord/etc. To proactively send to another chat, call `message` with an explicit `channel` and `chat_id` for an enabled channel.
+
+Example tool call for cross-channel delivery from an API session:
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": "Build finished successfully.",
+  "channel": "telegram",
+  "chat_id": "123456789"
+}
+```
+
+If `channel` points to a channel that is not enabled in your config, nanobot will queue the outbound event but no platform delivery will occur.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+- `GET /health`
+- `GET /v1/models`
+- `POST /v1/chat/completions`
+
+## curl
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8900/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}],
+    "session_id": "my-session"
+  }'
+```

+## File Upload (JSON base64)
+
+Send images inline using the OpenAI multimodal content format:
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8900/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{

+      {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:image/png;base64,iVBOR..."}}
+    ]}]
+  }'
+```
+
+## File Upload (multipart/form-data)
+
+Upload any supported file type (images, PDF, Word, Excel, PPT) via multipart:
+
+```bash
+# Single file
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8900/v1/chat/completions \
+  -F "message=Summarize this report" \
+  -F "files=@report.docx"

+  -F "message=Compare these files" \
+  -F "files=@chart.png" \
+  -F "files=@data.xlsx" \
+  -F "session_id=my-session"
+```
+
+Supported file types:
+- **Images**: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP (sent to AI as base64 for vision analysis)
+- **Documents**: PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx) (text extracted and sent to AI)
+- **Text**: TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON, etc. (read directly)

+# Python SDK
+
+Use nanobot as a library — no CLI, no gateway, just Python.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+
+from nanobot import Nanobot
+
+
+async def main() -> None:
+    bot = Nanobot.from_config()
+    result = await bot.run("What time is it in Tokyo?")
+    print(result.content)
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+`Nanobot.from_config()` reuses your normal `~/.nanobot/config.json`, so the SDK follows the same provider, model, tools, and workspace defaults as the CLI unless you override them.
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Use a specific config or workspace
+
+```python
+from nanobot import Nanobot
+
+bot = Nanobot.from_config(
+    config_path="~/.nanobot/config.json",
+    workspace="/my/project",
+)
+```
+
+### Isolate conversations with `session_key`
+
+Different session keys keep independent conversation history:
+
+```python
+await bot.run("hi", session_key="user-alice")
+await bot.run("hi", session_key="task-42")
+```
+
+### Attach hooks for observability
+
+Hooks let you inspect tool calls, streaming, and iteration state without modifying nanobot internals:
+
+```python
+from nanobot.agent import AgentHook, AgentHookContext
+
+
+class AuditHook(AgentHook):
+    async def before_execute_tools(self, context: AgentHookContext) -> None:
+        for tc in context.tool_calls:
+            print(f"[tool] {tc.name}")
+
+
+result = await bot.run("Review this change", hooks=[AuditHook()])
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `Nanobot.from_config(config_path=None, *, workspace=None)`
+
+Create a `Nanobot` instance from a config file.
+
+| Param | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `config_path` | `str \| Path \| None` | `None` | Path to `config.json`. Defaults to `~/.nanobot/config.json`. |
+| `workspace` | `str \| Path \| None` | `None` | Override the workspace directory from config. |
+
+Raises `FileNotFoundError` if an explicit config path does not exist.
+
+### `await bot.run(message, *, session_key="sdk:default", hooks=None)`
+
+Run the agent once and return a `RunResult`.
+
+| Param | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `message` | `str` | *(required)* | The user message to process. |
+| `session_key` | `str` | `"sdk:default"` | Session identifier for conversation isolation. Different keys get independent history. |
+| `hooks` | `list[AgentHook] \| None` | `None` | Lifecycle hooks for this run only. |
+
+### `RunResult`
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `content` | `str` | The agent's final text response. |
+| `tools_used` | `list[str]` | Reserved for richer SDK introspection; may be empty in current versions. |
+| `messages` | `list[dict]` | Reserved for richer SDK introspection; may be empty in current versions. |
+
+## Hooks
+
+Hooks let you observe or customize the agent loop. Subclass `AgentHook` and override the methods you need.
+
+### Hook lifecycle
+
+| Method | When |
+|--------|------|
+| `wants_streaming()` | Return `True` if you want token-by-token `on_stream()` callbacks |
+| `before_iteration(context)` | Before each LLM call |
+| `on_stream(context, delta)` | On each streamed token when streaming is enabled |
+| `on_stream_end(context, *, resuming)` | When streaming finishes |
+| `before_execute_tools(context)` | Before tool execution |
+| `after_iteration(context)` | After each iteration |
+| `finalize_content(context, content)` | Transform final output text |
+
+Useful fields on `AgentHookContext` include:
+
+- `iteration`
+- `messages`
+- `response`
+- `usage`
+- `tool_calls`
+- `tool_results`
+- `tool_events`
+- `final_content`
+- `stop_reason`
+- `error`
+
+### Example: audit tool calls
+
+```python
+from nanobot.agent import AgentHook, AgentHookContext
+
+
+class AuditHook(AgentHook):
+    def __init__(self) -> None:
+        super().__init__()
+        self.calls: list[str] = []
+
+    async def before_execute_tools(self, context: AgentHookContext) -> None:
+        for tc in context.tool_calls:
+            self.calls.append(tc.name)
+            print(f"[audit] {tc.name}({tc.arguments})")
+```
+
+```python
+hook = AuditHook()
+result = await bot.run("List files in /tmp", hooks=[hook])
+print(result.content)
+print(f"Tools observed: {hook.calls}")
+```
+
+### Example: receive streaming tokens
+
+```python
+from nanobot.agent import AgentHook, AgentHookContext
+
+
+class StreamingHook(AgentHook):
+    def wants_streaming(self) -> bool:
+        return True
+
+    async def on_stream(self, context: AgentHookContext, delta: str) -> None:
+        print(delta, end="", flush=True)
+
+    async def on_stream_end(self, context: AgentHookContext, *, resuming: bool) -> None:
+        print()
+```
+
+### Compose multiple hooks
+
+Pass multiple hooks when you want to combine behaviors:
+
+```python
+result = await bot.run("hi", hooks=[AuditHook(), MetricsHook()])
+```
+
+Async hook methods are fan-out with error isolation. `finalize_content` is a pipeline: each hook receives the previous hook's output.
+
+### Example: post-process final content
+
+```python
+from nanobot.agent import AgentHook
+
+
+class Censor(AgentHook):
+    def finalize_content(self, context, content):
+        return content.replace("secret", "***") if content else content
+```
+
+## Full Example
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+import time
+
+from nanobot import Nanobot
+from nanobot.agent import AgentHook, AgentHookContext
+
+
+class TimingHook(AgentHook):
+    def __init__(self) -> None:
+        super().__init__()
+        self._started_at = 0.0
+
+    async def before_iteration(self, context: AgentHookContext) -> None:
+        self._started_at = time.perf_counter()
+
+    async def after_iteration(self, context: AgentHookContext) -> None:
+        elapsed_ms = (time.perf_counter() - self._started_at) * 1000
+        print(f"[timing] iteration {context.iteration} took {elapsed_ms:.1f}ms")
+
+
+async def main() -> None:
+    bot = Nanobot.from_config(workspace="/my/project")
+    result = await bot.run(
+        "Explain the main function",
+        session_key="sdk:demo",
+        hooks=[TimingHook()],
+    )
+    print(result.content)
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())

+# WebSocket Server Channel
+
+Nanobot can act as a WebSocket server, allowing external clients (web apps, CLIs, scripts) to interact with the agent in real time via persistent connections.
+
+## Features
+
+- Bidirectional real-time communication over WebSocket
+- Streaming support — receive agent responses token by token
+- Token-based authentication (static tokens and short-lived issued tokens)
+- Multi-chat multiplexing — one connection can run many concurrent `chat_id`s
+- TLS/SSL support (WSS) with enforced TLSv1.2 minimum
+- Client allow-list via `allowFrom`
+- Auto-cleanup of dead connections
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Configure
+
+Add to `config.json` under `channels.websocket`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "host": "127.0.0.1",
+      "port": 8765,
+      "path": "/",

+        await ws.send(json.dumps({"content": "Hello nanobot!"}))
+        reply = json.loads(await ws.recv())
+        print(reply["text"])
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+## Connection URL
+
+```text
+ws://{host}:{port}{path}?client_id={id}&token={token}
+```
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `client_id` | No | Identifier for `allowFrom` authorization. Auto-generated as `anon-xxxxxxxxxxxx` if omitted. Truncated to 128 chars. |
+| `token` | Conditional | Authentication token. Required when `websocketRequiresToken` is `true` or `token` (static secret) is configured. |
+
+## Wire Protocol
+
+All frames are JSON text. Each message has an `event` field.
+
+### Server → Client
+
+**`ready`** — sent immediately after connection is established:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "ready",
+  "chat_id": "uuid-v4",
+  "client_id": "alice"
+}
+```
+
+**`message`** — full agent response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "message",
+  "chat_id": "uuid-v4",
+  "text": "Hello! How can I help?",
+  "media": ["/tmp/image.png"],
+  "reply_to": "msg-id"
+}
+```
+
+`media` and `reply_to` are only present when applicable.
+
+**`delta`** — streaming text chunk (only when `streaming: true`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "delta",
+  "chat_id": "uuid-v4",
+  "text": "Hello",
+  "stream_id": "s1"
+}
+```
+
+**`stream_end`** — signals the end of a streaming segment:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "stream_end",
+  "chat_id": "uuid-v4",
+  "stream_id": "s1"
+}
+```
+
+**`reasoning_delta`** — incremental model reasoning / thinking chunk for the active assistant turn. Mirrors `delta` but targets the reasoning bubble above the answer rather than the answer body:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "reasoning_delta",
+  "chat_id": "uuid-v4",
+  "text": "Let me decompose ",
+  "stream_id": "r1"
+}
+```
+
+**`reasoning_end`** — close marker for the active reasoning stream. WebUI uses this to lock the in-place bubble and switch from the shimmer header to a static collapsed state:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "reasoning_end",
+  "chat_id": "uuid-v4",
+  "stream_id": "r1"
+}
+```
+
+Reasoning frames only flow when the channel's `showReasoning` is `true` (default) and the model returns reasoning content (DeepSeek-R1 / Kimi / MiMo / OpenAI reasoning models, Anthropic extended thinking, or inline `<think>` / `<thought>` tags). Models without reasoning produce zero `reasoning_delta` frames.
+
+**`runtime_model_updated`** — broadcast when the gateway runtime model changes, for example after `/model <preset>`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "runtime_model_updated",
+  "model_name": "openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
+  "model_preset": "fast"
+}
+```
+
+`model_preset` is omitted when no named preset is active. WebUI clients use this event to keep the displayed model badge in sync across slash commands, config reloads, and settings changes.
+
+**`attached`** — confirmation for `new_chat` / `attach` inbound envelopes (see [Multi-chat multiplexing](#multi-chat-multiplexing)):
+
+```json
+{"event": "attached", "chat_id": "uuid-v4"}
+```
+
+**`error`** — soft error for malformed inbound envelopes. The connection stays open:
+
+```json
+{"event": "error", "detail": "invalid chat_id"}
+```
+
+### Client → Server
+
+**Legacy (default chat):** send a plain string, or a JSON object with a recognized text field:
+
+```json
+"Hello nanobot!"
+```
+
+```json
+{"content": "Hello nanobot!"}
+```
+
+Recognized fields: `content`, `text`, `message` (checked in that order). Invalid JSON is treated as plain text. These frames route to the connection's default `chat_id` (the one announced in `ready`).
+
+**Typed envelopes (multi-chat):** any JSON object with a string `type` field is a typed envelope:
+
+| `type` | Fields | Effect |
+|--------|--------|--------|
+| `new_chat` | — | Server mints a new `chat_id`, subscribes this connection, replies with `attached`. |
+| `attach` | `chat_id` | Subscribe to an existing `chat_id` (e.g. after a page reload). Replies with `attached`. |
+| `message` | `chat_id`, `content` | Send `content` on `chat_id`. First use auto-attaches; no explicit `attach` needed. |
+
+See [Multi-chat multiplexing](#multi-chat-multiplexing) for the full flow.
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+All fields go under `channels.websocket` in `config.json`.
+
+### Connection
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable the WebSocket server. |
+| `host` | string | `"127.0.0.1"` | Bind address. Use `"0.0.0.0"` to accept external connections. |
+| `port` | int | `8765` | Listen port. |
+| `path` | string | `"/"` | WebSocket upgrade path. Trailing slashes are normalized (root `/` is preserved). |
+| `maxMessageBytes` | int | `37748736` | Maximum inbound message size in bytes (1 KB – 40 MB). Default (36 MB) is sized to accept up to 4 base64-encoded image attachments at 8 MB each; lower it if the channel only carries text. |
+
+### Authentication
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `token` | string | `""` | Static shared secret. When set, clients must provide `?token=<value>` matching this secret (timing-safe comparison). Issued tokens are also accepted as a fallback. |
+| `websocketRequiresToken` | bool | `true` | When `true` and no static `token` is configured, clients must still present a valid issued token. Set to `false` to allow unauthenticated connections (only safe for local/trusted networks). |
+| `tokenIssuePath` | string | `""` | HTTP path for issuing short-lived tokens. Must differ from `path`. See [Token Issuance](#token-issuance). |
+| `tokenIssueSecret` | string | `""` | Secret required to obtain tokens via the issue endpoint. If empty, any client can obtain tokens (logged as a warning). |
+| `tokenTtlS` | int | `300` | Time-to-live for issued tokens in seconds (30 – 86,400). |
+
+### Access Control
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `allowFrom` | list of string | `["*"]` | Allowed `client_id` values. `"*"` allows all; `[]` denies all. |
+
+### Streaming
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `streaming` | bool | `true` | Enable streaming mode. The agent sends `delta` + `stream_end` frames instead of a single `message`. |
+
+### Keep-alive
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `pingIntervalS` | float | `20.0` | WebSocket ping interval in seconds (5 – 300). |
+| `pingTimeoutS` | float | `20.0` | Time to wait for a pong before closing the connection (5 – 300). |
+
+### TLS/SSL
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `sslCertfile` | string | `""` | Path to the TLS certificate file (PEM). Both `sslCertfile` and `sslKeyfile` must be set to enable WSS. |
+| `sslKeyfile` | string | `""` | Path to the TLS private key file (PEM). Minimum TLS version is enforced as TLSv1.2. |
+
+## Token Issuance
+
+For production deployments where `websocketRequiresToken: true`, use short-lived tokens instead of embedding static secrets in clients.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. Client sends `GET {tokenIssuePath}` with `Authorization: Bearer {tokenIssueSecret}` (or `X-Nanobot-Auth` header).
+2. Server responds with a one-time-use token:
+
+```json
+{"token": "nbwt_aBcDeFg...", "expires_in": 300}
+```
+
+3. Client opens WebSocket with `?token=nbwt_aBcDeFg...&client_id=...`.
+4. The token is consumed (single use) and cannot be reused.
+
+### Example setup
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "port": 8765,
+      "path": "/ws",
+      "tokenIssuePath": "/auth/token",
+      "tokenIssueSecret": "your-secret-here",
+      "tokenTtlS": 300,
+      "websocketRequiresToken": true,
+      "allowFrom": ["*"],
+      "streaming": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Client flow:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Obtain a token
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-secret-here" http://127.0.0.1:8765/auth/token
+
+# 2. Connect using the token
+websocat "ws://127.0.0.1:8765/ws?client_id=alice&token=nbwt_aBcDeFg..."
+```
+
+### Limits
+
+- Issued tokens are single-use — each token can only complete one handshake.
+- Outstanding tokens are capped at 10,000. Requests beyond this return HTTP 429.
+- Expired tokens are purged lazily on each issue or validation request.
+
+## Multi-chat multiplexing
+
+A single WebSocket can carry many concurrent chats. The server tracks `chat_id -> {connections}` as a fan-out set, so the same chat can also be mirrored across multiple connections (e.g. two browser tabs).
+
+### Typical flow (web UI with a sidebar)
+
+```text
+client                                server
+  | --- connect -------------------->  |
+  | <-- {"event":"ready",              |
+  |      "chat_id":"d3..."}   (default)|
+  |                                     |
+  | --- {"type":"new_chat"} --------->  |
+  | <-- {"event":"attached",            |
+  |      "chat_id":"a1..."}             |
+  |                                     |
+  | --- {"type":"message",              |
+  |      "chat_id":"a1...",             |
+  |      "content":"hi"} ------------>  |
+  | <-- {"event":"delta", ...}          |
+  | <-- {"event":"stream_end", ...}     |
+  |                                     |
+  | --- {"type":"attach",               |  # after page reload
+  |      "chat_id":"a1..."} --------->  |
+  | <-- {"event":"attached", ...}       |
+```
+
+### Rules
+
+- Every outbound event carries `chat_id`. Clients must dispatch by that field.
+- `chat_id` format: `^[A-Za-z0-9_:-]{1,64}$`. Non-matching values return `error`.
+- `message` auto-attaches on first use — no separate `attach` is required for chats the server minted (`new_chat`) on the same connection.
+- Errors (invalid envelope, unknown `type`, bad `chat_id`) are soft: the server replies with `{"event":"error","detail":"..."}` and keeps the connection open.
+
+### Backward compatibility
+
+Legacy clients that only send plain text or `{"content": ...}` keep working unchanged: those frames route to the connection's default `chat_id` (the one from `ready`). No config flag is needed.
+
+### Security boundary
+
+`chat_id` is a *capability*: anyone holding a valid WebSocket auth credential and the chat_id can attach to that conversation and see its output. This is safe for nanobot's local, single-user model. Multi-tenant deployments should namespace chat_ids per user (or introduce a per-tenant auth gate) — nanobot does not do this today.
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- **Timing-safe comparison**: Static token validation uses `hmac.compare_digest` to prevent timing attacks.
+- **Defense in depth**: `allowFrom` is checked at both the HTTP handshake level and the message level.
+- **chat_id as capability**: see [Multi-chat multiplexing](#multi-chat-multiplexing). Auth on the WebSocket handshake is the single line of defense; callers who pass it can attach to any chat_id they know.
+- **TLS enforcement**: When SSL is enabled, TLSv1.2 is the minimum allowed version.
+- **Default-secure**: `websocketRequiresToken` defaults to `true`. Explicitly set it to `false` only on trusted networks.
+
+## Media Files
+
+Outbound `message` events may include a `media` field containing local filesystem paths. Remote clients cannot access these files directly — they need either:
+
+- A shared filesystem mount, or
+- An HTTP file server serving the nanobot media directory
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Trusted local network (no auth)
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "host": "0.0.0.0",
+      "port": 8765,
+      "websocketRequiresToken": false,
+      "allowFrom": ["*"],
+      "streaming": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Static token (simple auth)
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "token": "my-shared-secret",
+      "allowFrom": ["alice", "bob"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Clients connect with `?token=my-shared-secret&client_id=alice`.
+
+### Public endpoint with issued tokens
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "host": "0.0.0.0",
+      "port": 8765,
+      "path": "/ws",
+      "tokenIssuePath": "/auth/token",
+      "tokenIssueSecret": "production-secret",
+      "websocketRequiresToken": true,
+      "sslCertfile": "/etc/ssl/certs/server.pem",
+      "sslKeyfile": "/etc/ssl/private/server-key.pem",
+      "allowFrom": ["*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Custom path
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "path": "/chat/ws",
+      "allowFrom": ["*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Clients connect to `ws://127.0.0.1:8765/chat/ws?client_id=...`. Trailing slashes are normalized, so `/chat/ws/` works the same.
