fix(apps): preserve legacy CLI app skills

convert_messages() emitted reasoning items with ``content`` as a plain
string whenever preserve_reasoning was enabled (the DeepSeek spec).
DeepSeek's Responses gateway rejects that shape with a serde error
("input: invalid type: string ..., expected a sequence"), which surfaced
only after token consolidation cleared provider_state and forced the
full-history conversion path; replayed server items already carry list
content, which is why normal multi-turn requests never failed. Serialize
reasoning content as a list of output_text parts, matching the OpenAI
Responses schema and DeepSeek's accepted wire shape (verified live against
api.deepseek.com/responses).

The serde fallback classifier introduced in the previous commit remains as
a last-resort safeguard for any remaining wire incompatibility.

Tests: extend test_preserves_deepseek_reasoning_content to the array shape;
add a full-history regression with the observed failing item, a
replay/consolidation regression covering both replayed and converted
reasoning items, and provider-level request fixtures for both paths.
Full suite: 5773 passed, 22 skipped (only the known local-only
channels/sms packaging failure remains).

 ## Gateway
 
 `nanobot gateway` starts enabled chat channels, WebUI/WebSocket when configured, cron-backed system jobs, Dream, heartbeat, and the health endpoint. Most local browser users should start with `nanobot webui`; use `gateway` directly for service management, chat app operation, and advanced deployment. By default it runs in the foreground, which keeps existing scripts and terminal workflows unchanged. Use `--background` when you want a local macOS, Linux, or Windows process that you can manage from the CLI.

+### Cloudflare Tunnel + Cloudflare Access
+
+For a local `cloudflared` process in front of nanobot, Cloudflare Access can
+authenticate the user before forwarding the request and add
+`Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion`. Opt in to trusted-proxy no-token mode only when the
+direct TCP peer is the tunnel process and the assertion is non-empty:
+
+```json
+{
+  "gateway": { "host": "127.0.0.1" },
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "host": "127.0.0.1",
+      "port": 8765,
+      "publicWsUrl": "wss://nanobot.example.com/",
+      "trustedProxyAuth": {
+        "trustedPeerCidrs": ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1/128"],
+        "assertionHeader": "Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This is two-part authorization: a trusted direct loopback peer **and** a
+non-empty Cloudflare Access assertion. A trusted CIDR alone is not a bypass.
+For this flow `/webui/bootstrap` returns connection metadata without a
+bootstrap token or REST API token; the proxy assertion authorizes the WebSocket
+handshake and REST requests directly.
+
+Set `publicWsUrl` to the browser-facing `wss://` endpoint when the tunnel sends
+the origin host header (such as `127.0.0.1:8765`); otherwise the WebUI could
+attempt to open its WebSocket directly against the loopback address.
+The assertion header must be generated
+by Cloudflare Access after authentication; routing/client metadata headers such
+as `Host`, `Forwarded`, `X-Forwarded-*`, `X-Real-IP`, and `CF-Connecting-IP`
+are rejected as `assertionHeader` values. Nanobot trusts the assertion but does
+not cryptographically validate the JWT, so configure the tunnel and Access
+policy carefully and do not expose the nanobot listener directly to untrusted
+clients. Forwarded client headers do not establish proxy trust.

+Use the image model's exact ModelScope ID without a leading `modelscope/`; the image client sends this value unchanged and handles ModelScope's async submit/poll flow.

+
+`trustedProxyAuth` is an opt-in alternative for deployments where an
+identity-aware reverse proxy authenticates the user before connecting to nanobot.
+The proxy assertion becomes the authentication boundary for the entire WebUI
+surface: `/webui/bootstrap`, the WebSocket handshake, and REST API routes.
+Bootstrap is accepted only when **both** the direct TCP peer matches one of
+`trustedPeerCidrs` and the configured assertion header is present and non-empty.
+A trusted address by itself is never sufficient.
+
+Nanobot deliberately uses only `connection.remote_address` for the peer check.
+It never uses `X-Forwarded-For`, `Forwarded`, `X-Real-IP`, `CF-Connecting-IP`,
+or `X-Forwarded-Host` to decide whether the proxy is trusted. Nanobot trusts the
+assertion supplied by the explicitly trusted peer, but does not cryptographically
+validate or interpret the JWT/assertion contents. Do not enable this option if
+untrusted clients can connect directly to the nanobot listener.
+
+The configured assertion header must be a proxy-generated authentication
+assertion, not a routing or client metadata header. Headers such as `Host`,
+`Forwarded`, `X-Forwarded-*`, `X-Real-IP`, and `CF-Connecting-IP` are rejected
+by configuration; use the identity provider's post-authentication assertion
+header instead (for example, `Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion`).
+
+For example, a local Cloudflare Tunnel with Cloudflare Access can validate the
+user at the edge and forward the resulting `Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "websocket": {
+      "host": "127.0.0.1",
+      "publicWsUrl": "wss://nanobot.example.com/",
+      "trustedProxyAuth": {
+        "trustedPeerCidrs": ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1/128"],
+        "assertionHeader": "Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This works only when the directly connected `cloudflared` process reaches
+nanobot over the configured loopback address and supplies a non-empty assertion.
+Keep nanobot firewalled from untrusted clients; this configuration is not a
+CIDR-based bootstrap bypass.
