feat(telegram): add react_emoji config for incoming messages

fix(cron): support tz parameter with at for one-time scheduled tasks
The tz parameter was previously only allowed with cron_expr. When users specified tz with at for one-time tasks, it returned an error. Now tz works with both cron_expr and at — naive ISO datetimes are interpreted in the given timezone via ZoneInfo. - Relax validation: allow tz with cron_expr or at - Apply ZoneInfo to naive datetimes in the at branch - Update SKILL.md with at+tz examples - Add automated tests for tz+at combinations Co-authored-by: weitongtong <tongtong.wei@nodeskai.com> Made-with: Cursor

-### Environment Variables for Secrets
-
-Instead of storing secrets directly in `config.json`, you can use `${VAR_NAME}` references that are resolved from environment variables at startup:
-
-```json
-{
-  "channels": {
-    "telegram": { "token": "${TELEGRAM_TOKEN}" },
-    "email": {
-      "imapPassword": "${IMAP_PASSWORD}",
-      "smtpPassword": "${SMTP_PASSWORD}"
-    }
-  },
-  "providers": {
-    "groq": { "apiKey": "${GROQ_API_KEY}" }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-For **systemd** deployments, use `EnvironmentFile=` in the service unit to load variables from a file that only the deploying user can read:
-
-```ini
-# /etc/systemd/system/nanobot.service (excerpt)
-[Service]
-EnvironmentFile=/home/youruser/nanobot_secrets.env
-User=nanobot
-ExecStart=...

-TELEGRAM_TOKEN=your-token-here
-IMAP_PASSWORD=your-password-here
-```

 ### Providers

 > [!TIP]
-> - **Voice transcription**: Voice messages (Telegram, WhatsApp) are automatically transcribed using Whisper. By default Groq is used (free tier). Set `"transcriptionProvider": "openai"` under `channels` to use OpenAI Whisper instead — the API key is picked from the matching provider config.
+> - **Groq** provides free voice transcription via Whisper. If configured, Telegram voice messages will be automatically transcribed.
 > - **MiniMax Coding Plan**: Exclusive discount links for the nanobot community: [Overseas](https://platform.minimax.io/subscribe/coding-plan?code=9txpdXw04g&source=link) · [Mainland China](https://platform.minimaxi.com/subscribe/token-plan?code=GILTJpMTqZ&source=link)
 > - **MiniMax (Mainland China)**: If your API key is from MiniMax's mainland China platform (minimaxi.com), set `"apiBase": "https://api.minimaxi.com/v1"` in your minimax provider config.
 > - **VolcEngine / BytePlus Coding Plan**: Use dedicated providers `volcengineCodingPlan` or `byteplusCodingPlan` instead of the pay-per-use `volcengine` / `byteplus` providers.
 > - **Zhipu Coding Plan**: If you're on Zhipu's coding plan, set `"apiBase": "https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/coding/paas/v4"` in your zhipu provider config.
 > - **Alibaba Cloud BaiLian**: If you're using Alibaba Cloud BaiLian's OpenAI-compatible endpoint, set `"apiBase": "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1"` in your dashscope provider config.
-> - **Step Fun (Mainland China)**: If your API key is from Step Fun's mainland China platform (stepfun.com), set `"apiBase": "https://api.stepfun.com/v1"` in your stepfun provider config.

-### Channel Settings
-
-Global settings that apply to all channels. Configure under the `channels` section in `~/.nanobot/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "channels": {
-    "sendProgress": true,
-    "sendToolHints": false,
-    "sendMaxRetries": 3,
-    "transcriptionProvider": "groq",
-    "telegram": { ... }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Setting | Default | Description |
-|---------|---------|-------------|
-| `sendProgress` | `true` | Stream agent's text progress to the channel |
-| `sendToolHints` | `false` | Stream tool-call hints (e.g. `read_file("…")`) |
-| `sendMaxRetries` | `3` | Max delivery attempts per outbound message, including the initial send (0-10 configured, minimum 1 actual attempt) |
-| `transcriptionProvider` | `"groq"` | Voice transcription backend: `"groq"` (free tier, default) or `"openai"`. API key is auto-resolved from the matching provider config. |
-
-#### Retry Behavior
-
-Retry is intentionally simple.
-
-When a channel `send()` raises, nanobot retries at the channel-manager layer. By default, `channels.sendMaxRetries` is `3`, and that count includes the initial send.
-
- **Attempt 1**: Send immediately
- **Attempt 2**: Retry after `1s`
- **Attempt 3**: Retry after `2s`
- **Higher retry budgets**: Backoff continues as `1s`, `2s`, `4s`, then stays capped at `4s`
- **Transient failures**: Network hiccups and temporary API limits often recover on the next attempt
- **Permanent failures**: Invalid tokens, revoked access, or banned channels will exhaust the retry budget and fail cleanly
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This design is deliberate: channel implementations should raise on delivery failure, and the channel manager owns the shared retry policy.
->
-> Some channels may still apply small API-specific retries internally. For example, Telegram separately retries timeout and flood-control errors before surfacing a final failure to the manager.
->
-> If a channel is completely unreachable, nanobot cannot notify the user through that same channel. Watch logs for `Failed to send to {channel} after N attempts` to spot persistent delivery failures.

 ### Security

 > [!TIP]
-> For production deployments, set `"restrictToWorkspace": true` and `"tools.exec.sandbox": "bwrap"` in your config to sandbox the agent.
+> For production deployments, set `"restrictToWorkspace": true` in your config to sandbox the agent.
 > In `v0.1.4.post3` and earlier, an empty `allowFrom` allowed all senders. Since `v0.1.4.post4`, empty `allowFrom` denies all access by default. To allow all senders, set `"allowFrom": ["*"]`.

 | Option | Default | Description |
 |--------|---------|-------------|
 | `tools.restrictToWorkspace` | `false` | When `true`, restricts **all** agent tools (shell, file read/write/edit, list) to the workspace directory. Prevents path traversal and out-of-scope access. |
-| `tools.exec.sandbox` | `""` | Sandbox backend for shell commands. Set to `"bwrap"` to wrap exec calls in a [bubblewrap](https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap) sandbox — the process can only see the workspace (read-write) and media directory (read-only); config files and API keys are hidden. Automatically enables `restrictToWorkspace` for file tools. **Linux only** — requires `bwrap` installed (`apt install bubblewrap`; pre-installed in the Docker image). Not available on macOS or Windows (bwrap depends on Linux kernel namespaces). |
-| `tools.exec.enable` | `true` | When `false`, the shell `exec` tool is not registered at all. Use this to completely disable shell command execution. |
 | `tools.exec.pathAppend` | `""` | Extra directories to append to `PATH` when running shell commands (e.g. `/usr/sbin` for `ufw`). |
 | `channels.*.allowFrom` | `[]` (deny all) | Whitelist of user IDs. Empty denies all; use `["*"]` to allow everyone. |

-**Docker security**: The official Docker image runs as a non-root user (`nanobot`, UID 1000) with bubblewrap pre-installed. When using `docker-compose.yml`, the container drops all Linux capabilities except `SYS_ADMIN` (required for bwrap's namespace isolation).
-
-
-### Auto Compact
-
-When a user is idle for longer than a configured TTL, nanobot **proactively** compresses the session context into a summary. This reduces token cost and first-token latency when the user returns — instead of re-processing a long stale context with an expired KV cache, the model receives a compact summary and fresh input.
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "sessionTtlMinutes": 15
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Option | Default | Description |
-|--------|---------|-------------|
-| `agents.defaults.sessionTtlMinutes` | `0` (disabled) | Minutes of idle time before auto-compaction. Set to `0` to disable. Recommended: `15` — matches typical LLM KV cache expiration, so compacted sessions won't waste cache on cold entries. |
-
-How it works:
-1. **Idle detection**: On each idle tick (~1 s), checks all sessions for expiration.
-2. **Background compaction**: Expired sessions are summarized via LLM, then cleared.
-3. **Summary injection**: When the user returns, the summary is injected as runtime context (one-shot, not persisted).
-
-> [!TIP]
-> The summary survives bot restarts — it's stored in session metadata and recovered on the next message.
-
-### Timezone
-
-Time is context. Context should be precise.
-
-By default, nanobot uses `UTC` for runtime time context. If you want the agent to think in your local time, set `agents.defaults.timezone` to a valid [IANA timezone name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones):
-
-```json
-{
-  "agents": {
-    "defaults": {
-      "timezone": "Asia/Shanghai"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This affects runtime time strings shown to the model, such as runtime context and heartbeat prompts. It also becomes the default timezone for cron schedules when a cron expression omits `tz`, and for one-shot `at` times when the ISO datetime has no explicit offset.
-
-Common examples: `UTC`, `America/New_York`, `America/Los_Angeles`, `Europe/London`, `Europe/Berlin`, `Asia/Tokyo`, `Asia/Shanghai`, `Asia/Singapore`, `Australia/Sydney`.
-

-## 🐍 Python SDK
-
-Use nanobot as a library — no CLI, no gateway, just Python:
-
-```python
-from nanobot import Nanobot
-
-bot = Nanobot.from_config()
-result = await bot.run("Summarize the README")
-print(result.content)
-```
-
-Each call carries a `session_key` for conversation isolation — different keys get independent history:
-
-```python
-await bot.run("hi", session_key="user-alice")
-await bot.run("hi", session_key="task-42")
-```
-
-Add lifecycle hooks to observe or customize the agent:
-
-```python
-from nanobot.agent import AgentHook, AgentHookContext
-
-class AuditHook(AgentHook):
-    async def before_execute_tools(self, ctx: AgentHookContext) -> None:
-        for tc in ctx.tool_calls:
-            print(f"[tool] {tc.name}")

-## 🔌 OpenAI-Compatible API
-
-nanobot can expose a minimal OpenAI-compatible endpoint for local integrations:

-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`
- No streaming: `stream=true` is not supported
-
-### Endpoints
-
- `GET /health`
- `GET /v1/models`
- `POST /v1/chat/completions`

-> 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 user `nanobot` (UID 1000). 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.

- Media directory → **read-only** (can read uploaded attachments)

 Build a custom nanobot channel in three steps: subclass, package, install.

-> **Note:** We recommend developing channel plugins against a source checkout of nanobot (`pip install -e .`) rather than a PyPI release, so you always have access to the latest base-channel features and APIs.

 ## How It Works

-    # 4. Save token on success
-```
-
-Channels that don't need interactive login (e.g. Telegram with bot token, Discord with bot token) inherit the default `login()` which just returns `True`.

-```bash
-nanobot channels login <channel_name>
-nanobot channels login <channel_name> --force  # re-authenticate

-## Streaming Support
-
-Channels can opt into real-time streaming — the agent sends content token-by-token instead of one final message. This is entirely optional; channels work fine without it.
-
-### How It Works
-
-When **both** conditions are met, the agent streams content through your channel:
-
-1. Config has `"streaming": true`
-2. Your subclass overrides `send_delta()`
-
-If either is missing, the agent falls back to the normal one-shot `send()` path.
-
-### Implementing `send_delta`
-
-Override `send_delta` to handle two types of calls:
-
-```python
-async def send_delta(self, chat_id: str, delta: str, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:
-    meta = metadata or {}
-
-    if meta.get("_stream_end"):
-        # Streaming finished — do final formatting, cleanup, etc.
-        return
-
-    # Regular delta — append text, update the message on screen
-    # delta contains a small chunk of text (a few tokens)
-```
-
-**Metadata flags:**
-
-| Flag | Meaning |
-|------|---------|
-| `_stream_delta: True` | A content chunk (delta contains the new text) |
-| `_stream_end: True` | Streaming finished (delta is empty) |
-| `_resuming: True` | More streaming rounds coming (e.g. tool call then another response) |
-
-### Example: Webhook with Streaming
-
-```python
-class WebhookChannel(BaseChannel):
-    name = "webhook"
-    display_name = "Webhook"
-
-    def __init__(self, config, bus):
-        super().__init__(config, bus)
-        self._buffers: dict[str, str] = {}
-
-    async def send_delta(self, chat_id: str, delta: str, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:
-        meta = metadata or {}
-        if meta.get("_stream_end"):
-            text = self._buffers.pop(chat_id, "")
-            # Final delivery — format and send the complete message
-            await self._deliver(chat_id, text, final=True)
-            return
-
-        self._buffers.setdefault(chat_id, "")
-        self._buffers[chat_id] += delta
-        # Incremental update — push partial text to the client
-        await self._deliver(chat_id, self._buffers[chat_id], final=False)
-
-    async def send(self, msg: OutboundMessage) -> None:
-        # Non-streaming path — unchanged
-        await self._deliver(msg.chat_id, msg.content, final=True)
-```
-
-### Config
-
-Enable streaming per channel:
-
-```json
-{
-  "channels": {
-    "webhook": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "streaming": true,
-      "allowFrom": ["*"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-When `streaming` is `false` (default) or omitted, only `send()` is called — no streaming overhead.
-
-### BaseChannel Streaming API
-
-| Method / Property | Description |
-|-------------------|-------------|
-| `async send_delta(chat_id, delta, metadata?)` | Override to handle streaming chunks. No-op by default. |
-| `supports_streaming` (property) | Returns `True` when config has `streaming: true` **and** subclass overrides `send_delta`. |

-# Memory in nanobot
-
-> **Note:** This design is currently an experiment in the latest source code version and is planned to officially ship in `v0.1.5`.
-
-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
-
-```
-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.

-# Microsoft Teams (MVP)
-
-This repository includes a built-in `msteams` channel MVP for Microsoft Teams direct messages.
-
-## Current scope
-
- Direct-message text in/out
- Tenant-aware OAuth token acquisition
- Conversation reference persistence for replies
- Public HTTPS webhook support through a tunnel or reverse proxy
-
-## Not yet included
-
- Group/channel handling
- Attachments and cards
- Polls
- Richer Teams activity handling
-
-## Example config
-
-```json
-{
-  "channels": {
-    "msteams": {
-      "enabled": true,
-      "appId": "YOUR_APP_ID",
-      "appPassword": "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
-      "tenantId": "YOUR_TENANT_ID",
-      "host": "0.0.0.0",
-      "port": 3978,
-      "path": "/api/messages",
-      "allowFrom": ["*"],
-      "replyInThread": true,
-      "mentionOnlyResponse": "Hi — what can I help with?",
-      "validateInboundAuth": false,
-      "restartNotifyEnabled": false,
-      "restartNotifyPreMessage": "Nanobot agent initiated a gateway restart. I will message again when the gateway is back online.",
-      "restartNotifyPostMessage": "Nanobot gateway is back online."
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Behavior notes
-
- `replyInThread: true` replies to the triggering Teams activity when a stored `activity_id` is available.
- `replyInThread: false` posts replies as normal conversation messages.
- If `replyInThread` is enabled but no `activity_id` is stored, Nanobot falls back to a normal conversation message.
- `mentionOnlyResponse` controls what Nanobot receives when a user sends only a bot mention such as `<at>Nanobot</at>`.
- Set `mentionOnlyResponse` to an empty string to ignore mention-only messages.
- `validateInboundAuth: true` enables inbound Bot Framework bearer-token validation.
- `validateInboundAuth: false` leaves inbound auth unenforced, which is safer while first validating a new relay, tunnel, or proxy path.
- When enabled, Nanobot validates the inbound bearer token signature, issuer, audience, token lifetime, and `serviceUrl` claim when present.
- `restartNotifyEnabled: true` enables optional Teams restart-notification configuration for external wrapper-script driven restarts.
- `restartNotifyPreMessage` and `restartNotifyPostMessage` control the before/after announcement text used by that external wrapper.
-
-## Setup notes
-
-1. Create or reuse a Microsoft Teams / Azure bot app registration.
-2. Set the bot messaging endpoint to a public HTTPS URL ending in `/api/messages`.
-3. Forward that public endpoint to `http://localhost:3978/api/messages`.
-4. Start Nanobot with:
-
-```bash
-nanobot gateway
-```
-
-5. Optional: if you use an external restart wrapper (for example a script that stops and restarts the gateway), you can enable Teams restart announcements with `restartNotifyEnabled: true` and have the wrapper send `restartNotifyPreMessage` before restart and `restartNotifyPostMessage` after the gateway is back online.

-# Python SDK
-
-> **Note:** This interface is currently an experiment in the latest source code version and is planned to officially ship in `v0.1.5`.
-
-Use nanobot programmatically — load config, run the agent, get results.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```python
-import asyncio
-from nanobot import Nanobot
-
-async def main():
-    bot = Nanobot.from_config()
-    result = await bot.run("What time is it in Tokyo?")
-    print(result.content)
-
-asyncio.run(main())
-```
-
-## API
-
-### `Nanobot.from_config(config_path?, *, workspace?)`
-
-Create a `Nanobot` 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 workspace directory from config. |
-
-Raises `FileNotFoundError` if an explicit path doesn't exist.
-
-### `await bot.run(message, *, session_key?, hooks?)`
-
-Run the agent once. Returns 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. |
-
-```python
-# Isolated sessions — each user gets independent conversation history
-await bot.run("hi", session_key="user-alice")
-await bot.run("hi", session_key="user-bob")
-```
-
-### `RunResult`
-
-| Field | Type | Description |
-|-------|------|-------------|
-| `content` | `str` | The agent's final text response. |
-| `tools_used` | `list[str]` | Tool names invoked during the run. |
-| `messages` | `list[dict]` | Raw message history (for debugging). |
-
-## Hooks
-
-Hooks let you observe or modify the agent loop without touching internals.
-
-Subclass `AgentHook` and override any method:
-
-| Method | When |
-|--------|------|
-| `before_iteration(ctx)` | Before each LLM call |
-| `on_stream(ctx, delta)` | On each streamed token |
-| `on_stream_end(ctx)` | When streaming finishes |
-| `before_execute_tools(ctx)` | Before tool execution (inspect `ctx.tool_calls`) |
-| `after_iteration(ctx, response)` | After each LLM response |
-| `finalize_content(ctx, content)` | Transform final output text |
-
-### Example: Audit Hook
-
-```python
-from nanobot.agent import AgentHook, AgentHookContext
-
-class AuditHook(AgentHook):
-    def __init__(self):
-        self.calls = []
-
-    async def before_execute_tools(self, ctx: AgentHookContext) -> None:
-        for tc in ctx.tool_calls:
-            self.calls.append(tc.name)
-            print(f"[audit] {tc.name}({tc.arguments})")
-
-hook = AuditHook()
-result = await bot.run("List files in /tmp", hooks=[hook])
-print(f"Tools used: {hook.calls}")
-```
-
-### Composing Hooks
-
-Pass multiple hooks — they run in order, errors in one don't block others:
-
-```python
-result = await bot.run("hi", hooks=[AuditHook(), MetricsHook()])
-```
-
-Under the hood this uses `CompositeHook` for fan-out with error isolation.
-
-### `finalize_content` Pipeline
-
-Unlike the async methods (fan-out), `finalize_content` is a pipeline — each hook's output feeds the next:
-
-```python
-class Censor(AgentHook):
-    def finalize_content(self, ctx, content):
-        return content.replace("secret", "***") if content else content
-```
-
-## Full Example
-
-```python
-import asyncio
-from nanobot import Nanobot
-from nanobot.agent import AgentHook, AgentHookContext
-
-class TimingHook(AgentHook):
-    async def before_iteration(self, ctx: AgentHookContext) -> None:
-        import time
-        ctx.metadata["_t0"] = time.time()
-
-    async def after_iteration(self, ctx, response) -> None:
-        import time
-        elapsed = time.time() - ctx.metadata.get("_t0", 0)
-        print(f"[timing] iteration took {elapsed:.2f}s")
-
-async def main():
-    bot = Nanobot.from_config(workspace="/my/project")
-    result = await bot.run(
-        "Explain the main function",
-        hooks=[TimingHook()],

-# 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)
- Per-connection sessions — each connection gets a unique `chat_id`
- 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": "/",
-      "websocketRequiresToken": false,
-      "allowFrom": ["*"],
-      "streaming": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Start nanobot
-
-```bash
-nanobot gateway
-```
-
-You should see:
-
-```
-WebSocket server listening on ws://127.0.0.1:8765/
-```
-
-### 3. Connect a client
-
-```bash
-# Using websocat
-websocat ws://127.0.0.1:8765/?client_id=alice
-
-# Using Python
-import asyncio, json, websockets
-
-async def main():
-    async with websockets.connect("ws://127.0.0.1:8765/?client_id=alice") as ws:
-        ready = json.loads(await ws.recv())
-        print(ready)  # {"event": "ready", "chat_id": "...", "client_id": "alice"}
-        await ws.send(json.dumps({"content": "Hello nanobot!"}))
-        reply = json.loads(await ws.recv())
-        print(reply["text"])
-
-asyncio.run(main())
-```
-
-## Connection URL
-
-```
-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",
-  "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",
-  "text": "Hello",
-  "stream_id": "s1"
-}
-```
-
-**`stream_end`** — signals the end of a streaming segment:
-
-```json
-{
-  "event": "stream_end",
-  "stream_id": "s1"
-}
-```
-
-### Client → Server
-
-Send plain text:
-
-```json
-"Hello nanobot!"
-```
-
-Or send a JSON object with a recognized text field:
-
-```json
-{"content": "Hello nanobot!"}
-```
-
-Recognized fields: `content`, `text`, `message` (checked in that order). Invalid JSON is treated as plain text.
-
-## 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 | `1048576` | Maximum inbound message size in bytes (1 KB – 16 MB). |
-
-### 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
-    }
-  }

-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.
-
-## 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.
- **Token isolation**: Each WebSocket connection gets a unique `chat_id`. Clients cannot access other sessions.
- **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.

-      Must differ from ``path`` (the WS upgrade path). If the client runs in the **same process** as
-      nanobot and shares the asyncio loop, use a thread or async HTTP client for GET—do not call
-      blocking ``urllib`` or synchronous ``httpx`` from inside a coroutine.
-    - ``token_issue_secret``: If non-empty, token requests must send ``Authorization: Bearer <secret>`` or

-    - ``websocket_requires_token``: If True, the handshake must include a valid token (static or issued and not expired).
-    - Each connection has its own session: a unique ``chat_id`` maps to the agent session internally.

 ## Structure

- `SOUL.md` — Bot personality and communication style. **Managed by Dream.** Do NOT edit.
- `USER.md` — User profile and preferences. **Managed by Dream.** Do NOT edit.
- `memory/MEMORY.md` — Long-term facts (project context, important events). **Managed by Dream.** Do NOT edit.
- `memory/history.jsonl` — append-only JSONL, not loaded into context. Prefer the built-in `grep` tool to search it.
+- `memory/MEMORY.md` — Long-term facts (preferences, project context, relationships). Always loaded into your context.
+- `memory/HISTORY.md` — Append-only event log. NOT loaded into context. Search it with grep-style tools or in-memory filters. Each entry starts with [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM].

 ## Search Past Events

-`memory/history.jsonl` is JSONL format — each line is a JSON object with `cursor`, `timestamp`, `content`.
+Choose the search method based on file size:

- For broad searches, start with `grep(..., path="memory", glob="*.jsonl", output_mode="count")` or the default `files_with_matches` mode before expanding to full content
- Use `output_mode="content"` plus `context_before` / `context_after` when you need the exact matching lines
- Use `fixed_strings=true` for literal timestamps or JSON fragments
- Use `head_limit` / `offset` to page through long histories
- Use `exec` only as a last-resort fallback when the built-in search cannot express what you need
+- Small `memory/HISTORY.md`: use `read_file`, then search in-memory
+- Large or long-lived `memory/HISTORY.md`: use the `exec` tool for targeted search

-Examples (replace `keyword`):
- `grep(pattern="keyword", path="memory/history.jsonl", case_insensitive=true)`
- `grep(pattern="2026-04-02 10:00", path="memory/history.jsonl", fixed_strings=true)`
- `grep(pattern="keyword", path="memory", glob="*.jsonl", output_mode="count", case_insensitive=true)`
- `grep(pattern="oauth|token", path="memory", glob="*.jsonl", output_mode="content", case_insensitive=true)`
+Examples:
+- **Linux/macOS:** `grep -i "keyword" memory/HISTORY.md`
+- **Windows:** `findstr /i "keyword" memory\HISTORY.md`
+- **Cross-platform Python:** `python -c "from pathlib import Path; text = Path('memory/HISTORY.md').read_text(encoding='utf-8'); print('\n'.join([l for l in text.splitlines() if 'keyword' in l.lower()][-20:]))"`

-## Important
+Prefer targeted command-line search for large history files.

- **Do NOT edit SOUL.md, USER.md, or MEMORY.md.** They are automatically managed by Dream.
- If you notice outdated information, it will be corrected when Dream runs next.
- Users can view Dream's activity with the `/dream-log` command.
+## When to Update MEMORY.md
+
+Write important facts immediately using `edit_file` or `write_file`:
+- User preferences ("I prefer dark mode")
+- Project context ("The API uses OAuth2")
+- Relationships ("Alice is the project lead")
+
+## Auto-consolidation
+
+Old conversations are automatically summarized and appended to HISTORY.md when the session grows large. Long-term facts are extracted to MEMORY.md. You don't need to manage this.

 - **Benefits**: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when the agent determines it's needed
- **Best practice**: If files are large (>10k words), include grep or glob patterns in SKILL.md so the agent can use built-in search tools efficiently; mention when the default `grep(output_mode="files_with_matches")`, `grep(output_mode="count")`, `grep(fixed_strings=true)`, `glob(entry_type="dirs")`, or pagination via `head_limit` / `offset` is the right first step

 - Output is truncated at 10,000 characters
 - `restrictToWorkspace` config can limit file access to the workspace

-## glob — File Discovery
-
- Use `glob` to find files by pattern before falling back to shell commands
- Simple patterns like `*.py` match recursively by filename
- Use `entry_type="dirs"` when you need matching directories instead of files
- Use `head_limit` and `offset` to page through large result sets
- Prefer this over `exec` when you only need file paths
-
-## grep — Content Search
-
- Use `grep` to search file contents inside the workspace
- Default behavior returns only matching file paths (`output_mode="files_with_matches"`)
- Supports optional `glob` filtering plus `context_before` / `context_after`
- Supports `type="py"`, `type="ts"`, `type="md"` and similar shorthand filters
- Use `fixed_strings=true` for literal keywords containing regex characters
- Use `output_mode="files_with_matches"` to get only matching file paths
- Use `output_mode="count"` to size a search before reading full matches
- Use `head_limit` and `offset` to page across results
- Prefer this over `exec` for code and history searches
