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.

+# 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.

+# 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`.

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+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`
+
+## Project-Specific Notes

+
+## Branching Strategy
+
+See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full two-branch model (`main` vs `nightly`) and PR guidelines.
+
+## Code Style

+- Python 3.11+, asyncio throughout.
+- Line length: 100.
+- Linting: `ruff` with rules E, F, I, N, W (E501 ignored).
+- pytest with `asyncio_mode = "auto"`.
+
+## Common File Locations

+- Config schema: `nanobot/config/schema.py`
+- Provider base / new provider template: `nanobot/providers/base.py`
+- Channel base / new channel template: `nanobot/channels/base.py`
+- Tool registry: `nanobot/agent/tools/registry.py`

-# 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()],
-    )
-    print(result.content)
-
-asyncio.run(main())

+## 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()`.

+- Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
+- Create an application → Bot → Add Bot
+- Copy the bot token
+

+- In the Bot settings, enable **MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT**
+- (Optional) Enable **SERVER MEMBERS INTENT** if you plan to use allow lists based on member data
+
+**3. Get your User ID**
+- Discord Settings → Advanced → enable **Developer Mode**

+```
+
+> `groupPolicy` controls how the bot responds in group channels:
+> - `"mention"` (default) — Only respond when @mentioned
+> - `"open"` — Respond to all messages
+> DMs always respond when the sender is in `allowFrom`.
+> - If you set group policy to open create new threads as private threads and then @ the bot into it. Otherwise the thread itself and the channel in which you spawned it will spawn a bot session.
+> `allowChannels` restricts the bot to specific Discord channel IDs. Empty (default) means respond in every channel the bot can see. Example: `["1234567890", "0987654321"]`. The filter applies after `allowFrom`, so both must pass. Discord threads under an allowed parent channel are also allowed; for Forum channels, allowing the parent Forum channel allows all threads/posts in that forum.

+- 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)

+# 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 |

+# 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
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "workspace": "~/.nanobot-telegram/workspace",
+      "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
+    }
+  },
+  "channels": {
+    "telegram": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "token": "YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"
+    }
+  },
+  "gateway": {
+    "host": "127.0.0.1",
+    "port": 18790
+  }
+}
+```
+
+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

+# 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 \

+  -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 "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)
+
+

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

+"""Hatch build hook that bundles the webui (Vite) into nanobot/web/dist.
+
+Triggered automatically by `python -m build` (and any other hatch-driven build)
+so published wheels and sdists ship a fresh webui without requiring developers
+to remember `cd webui && bun run build` beforehand.
+
+Behaviour:
+
+- Skips for editable installs (`pip install -e .`). Editable mode is for Python
+  development; webui contributors use `cd webui && bun run dev` (Vite HMR) and
+  do not need a packaged `dist/`.
+- No-op when `webui/package.json` is absent (e.g. installing from an sdist that
+  already contains a prebuilt `nanobot/web/dist/`).
+- Skips when `NANOBOT_SKIP_WEBUI_BUILD=1` is set.
+- Skips when `nanobot/web/dist/index.html` already exists, unless
+  `NANOBOT_FORCE_WEBUI_BUILD=1` is set.
+- Uses `bun` when available, otherwise falls back to `npm`. The chosen tool
+  performs `install` followed by `run build`.

+"""Sustained goal tools on the main agent (Codex-style).
+
+Follow the built-in **long-goal** skill for lifecycle rules and how to phrase
+objectives (especially **idempotent**, compaction-safe goals). Load that skill
+from the skills listing (path shown there) before composing ``long_task.goal`` text.
+
+``long_task`` registers an objective on the session (JSON-serializable metadata).
+Active objectives are mirrored each turn into the Runtime Context block (see
+``nanobot.session.goal_state.goal_state_runtime_lines``) so compaction cannot hide them.
+Work proceeds in ordinary agent turns (same runner, compaction as configured).
+Call ``complete_goal`` when the sustained objective should stop being tracked:
+finished successfully, or cancelled / superseded / redirected—in every case the recap should match reality.
+
+There is **no** sub-agent orchestrator and **no** special WebSocket ``agent_ui`` stream.
