chore: bump version to 0.1.5

The _parse_tavily_usage implementation was updated to use the real
{account: {plan_usage, plan_limit, ...}} structure, but the tests
still used the old flat {used, limit, breakdown} format.

+# Contributing to nanobot
+
+Thank you for being here.
+
+nanobot is built with a simple belief: good tools should feel calm, clear, and humane.
+We care deeply about useful features, but we also believe in achieving more with less:
+solutions should be powerful without becoming heavy, and ambitious without becoming
+needlessly complicated.
+
+This guide is not only about how to open a PR. It is also about how we hope to build
+software together: with care, clarity, and respect for the next person reading the code.
+
+## Maintainers
+
+| Maintainer | Focus |
+|------------|-------|
+| [@re-bin](https://github.com/re-bin) | Project lead, `main` branch |
+| [@chengyongru](https://github.com/chengyongru) | `nightly` branch, experimental features |
+
+## Branching Strategy
+
+We use a two-branch model to balance stability and exploration:
+
+| Branch | Purpose | Stability |
+|--------|---------|-----------|
+| `main` | Stable releases | Production-ready |
+| `nightly` | Experimental features | May have bugs or breaking changes |
+
+### Which Branch Should I Target?
+
+**Target `nightly` if your PR includes:**
+
+- New features or functionality
+- Refactoring that may affect existing behavior
+- Changes to APIs or configuration
+
+**Target `main` if your PR includes:**
+
+- Bug fixes with no behavior changes
+- Documentation improvements
+- Minor tweaks that don't affect functionality
+
+**When in doubt, target `nightly`.** It is easier to move a stable idea from `nightly`
+to `main` than to undo a risky change after it lands in the stable branch.
+
+### How Does Nightly Get Merged to Main?
+
+We don't merge the entire `nightly` branch. Instead, stable features are **cherry-picked** from `nightly` into individual PRs targeting `main`:
+
+```
+nightly  ──┬── feature A (stable) ──► PR ──► main
+           ├── feature B (testing)
+           └── feature C (stable) ──► PR ──► main
+```
+
+This happens approximately **once a week**, but the timing depends on when features become stable enough.
+
+### Quick Summary
+
+| Your Change | Target Branch |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| New feature | `nightly` |
+| Bug fix | `main` |
+| Documentation | `main` |
+| Refactoring | `nightly` |
+| Unsure | `nightly` |
+
+## Development Setup
+
+Keep setup boring and reliable. The goal is to get you into the code quickly:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/nanobot.git
+cd nanobot
+
+# Install with dev dependencies
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+
+# Run tests
+pytest
+
+# Lint code
+ruff check nanobot/
+
+# Format code
+ruff format nanobot/
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+We care about more than passing lint. We want nanobot to stay small, calm, and readable.
+
+When contributing, please aim for code that feels:
+
+- Simple: prefer the smallest change that solves the real problem
+- Clear: optimize for the next reader, not for cleverness
+- Decoupled: keep boundaries clean and avoid unnecessary new abstractions
+- Honest: do not hide complexity, but do not create extra complexity either
+- Durable: choose solutions that are easy to maintain, test, and extend
+
+In practice:
+
+- Line length: 100 characters (`ruff`)
+- Target: Python 3.11+
+- Linting: `ruff` with rules E, F, I, N, W (E501 ignored)
+- Async: uses `asyncio` throughout; pytest with `asyncio_mode = "auto"`
+- Prefer readable code over magical code
+- Prefer focused patches over broad rewrites
+- If a new abstraction is introduced, it should clearly reduce complexity rather than move it around
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you have questions, ideas, or half-formed insights, you are warmly welcome here.
+
+Please feel free to open an [issue](https://github.com/HKUDS/nanobot/issues), join the community, or simply reach out:
+
+- [Discord](https://discord.gg/MnCvHqpUGB)
+- [Feishu/WeChat](./COMMUNICATION.md)
+- Email: Xubin Ren (@Re-bin) — <xubinrencs@gmail.com>
+
+Thank you for spending your time and care on nanobot. We would love for more people to participate in this community, and we genuinely welcome contributions of all sizes.

+# Channel Plugin Guide
+
+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
+
+nanobot discovers channel plugins via Python [entry points](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/). When `nanobot gateway` starts, it scans:
+
+1. Built-in channels in `nanobot/channels/`
+2. External packages registered under the `nanobot.channels` entry point group
+
+If a matching config section has `"enabled": true`, the channel is instantiated and started.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+We'll build a minimal webhook channel that receives messages via HTTP POST and sends replies back.
+
+### Project Structure
+
+```
+nanobot-channel-webhook/
+├── nanobot_channel_webhook/
+│   ├── __init__.py          # re-export WebhookChannel
+│   └── channel.py           # channel implementation
+└── pyproject.toml
+```
+
+### 1. Create Your Channel
+
+```python
+# nanobot_channel_webhook/__init__.py
+from nanobot_channel_webhook.channel import WebhookChannel
+
+__all__ = ["WebhookChannel"]
+```
+
+```python
+# nanobot_channel_webhook/channel.py
+import asyncio
+from typing import Any
+
+from aiohttp import web
+from loguru import logger
+
+from nanobot.channels.base import BaseChannel
+from nanobot.bus.events import OutboundMessage
+
+
+class WebhookChannel(BaseChannel):
+    name = "webhook"
+    display_name = "Webhook"
+
+    @classmethod
+    def default_config(cls) -> dict[str, Any]:
+        return {"enabled": False, "port": 9000, "allowFrom": []}
+
+    async def start(self) -> None:
+        """Start an HTTP server that listens for incoming messages.
+
+        IMPORTANT: start() must block forever (or until stop() is called).
+        If it returns, the channel is considered dead.
+        """
+        self._running = True
+        port = self.config.get("port", 9000)
+
+        app = web.Application()
+        app.router.add_post("/message", self._on_request)
+        runner = web.AppRunner(app)
+        await runner.setup()
+        site = web.TCPSite(runner, "0.0.0.0", port)
+        await site.start()
+        logger.info("Webhook listening on :{}", port)
+
+        # Block until stopped
+        while self._running:
+            await asyncio.sleep(1)
+
+        await runner.cleanup()
+
+    async def stop(self) -> None:
+        self._running = False
+
+    async def send(self, msg: OutboundMessage) -> None:
+        """Deliver an outbound message.
+
+        msg.content  — markdown text (convert to platform format as needed)
+        msg.media    — list of local file paths to attach
+        msg.chat_id  — the recipient (same chat_id you passed to _handle_message)
+        msg.metadata — may contain "_progress": True for streaming chunks
+        """
+        logger.info("[webhook] -> {}: {}", msg.chat_id, msg.content[:80])
+        # In a real plugin: POST to a callback URL, send via SDK, etc.
+
+    async def _on_request(self, request: web.Request) -> web.Response:
+        """Handle an incoming HTTP POST."""
+        body = await request.json()
+        sender = body.get("sender", "unknown")
+        chat_id = body.get("chat_id", sender)
+        text = body.get("text", "")
+        media = body.get("media", [])       # list of URLs
+
+        # This is the key call: validates allowFrom, then puts the
+        # message onto the bus for the agent to process.
+        await self._handle_message(
+            sender_id=sender,
+            chat_id=chat_id,
+            content=text,
+            media=media,
+        )
+
+        return web.json_response({"ok": True})
+```
+
+### 2. Register the Entry Point
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml
+[project]
+name = "nanobot-channel-webhook"
+version = "0.1.0"
+dependencies = ["nanobot", "aiohttp"]
+
+[project.entry-points."nanobot.channels"]
+webhook = "nanobot_channel_webhook:WebhookChannel"
+
+[build-system]
+requires = ["setuptools"]
+build-backend = "setuptools.backends._legacy:_Backend"
+```
+
+The key (`webhook`) becomes the config section name. The value points to your `BaseChannel` subclass.
+
+### 3. Install & Configure
+
+```bash
+pip install -e .
+nanobot plugins list      # verify "Webhook" shows as "plugin"
+nanobot onboard           # auto-adds default config for detected plugins
+```
+
+Edit `~/.nanobot/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "webhook": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "port": 9000,
+      "allowFrom": ["*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Run & Test
+
+```bash
+nanobot gateway
+```
+
+In another terminal:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/message \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"sender": "user1", "chat_id": "user1", "text": "Hello!"}'
+```
+
+The agent receives the message and processes it. Replies arrive in your `send()` method.
+
+## BaseChannel API
+
+### Required (abstract)
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `async start()` | **Must block forever.** Connect to platform, listen for messages, call `_handle_message()` on each. If this returns, the channel is dead. |
+| `async stop()` | Set `self._running = False` and clean up. Called when gateway shuts down. |
+| `async send(msg: OutboundMessage)` | Deliver an outbound message to the platform. |
+
+### Interactive Login
+
+If your channel requires interactive authentication (e.g. QR code scan), override `login(force=False)`:
+
+```python
+async def login(self, force: bool = False) -> bool:
+    """
+    Perform channel-specific interactive login.
+
+    Args:
+        force: If True, ignore existing credentials and re-authenticate.
+
+    Returns True if already authenticated or login succeeds.
+    """
+    # For QR-code-based login:
+    # 1. If force, clear saved credentials
+    # 2. Check if already authenticated (load from disk/state)
+    # 3. If not, show QR code and poll for confirmation
+    # 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`.
+
+Users trigger interactive login via:
+```bash
+nanobot channels login <channel_name>
+nanobot channels login <channel_name> --force  # re-authenticate
+```
+
+### Provided by Base
+
+| Method / Property | Description |
+|-------------------|-------------|
+| `_handle_message(sender_id, chat_id, content, media?, metadata?, session_key?)` | **Call this when you receive a message.** Checks `is_allowed()`, then publishes to the bus. Automatically sets `_wants_stream` if `supports_streaming` is true. |
+| `is_allowed(sender_id)` | Checks against `config["allowFrom"]`; `"*"` allows all, `[]` denies all. |
+| `default_config()` (classmethod) | Returns default config dict for `nanobot onboard`. Override to declare your fields. |
+| `transcribe_audio(file_path)` | Transcribes audio via Groq Whisper (if configured). |
+| `supports_streaming` (property) | `True` when config has `"streaming": true` **and** subclass overrides `send_delta()`. |
+| `is_running` | Returns `self._running`. |
+| `login(force=False)` | Perform interactive login (e.g. QR code scan). Returns `True` if already authenticated or login succeeds. Override in subclasses that support interactive login. |
+
+### Optional (streaming)
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `async send_delta(chat_id, delta, metadata?)` | Override to receive streaming chunks. See [Streaming Support](#streaming-support) for details. |
+
+### Message Types
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class OutboundMessage:
+    channel: str        # your channel name
+    chat_id: str        # recipient (same value you passed to _handle_message)
+    content: str        # markdown text — convert to platform format as needed
+    media: list[str]    # local file paths to attach (images, audio, docs)
+    metadata: dict      # may contain: "_progress" (bool) for streaming chunks,
+                        #              "message_id" for reply threading
+```
+
+## 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`. |
+
+## Config
+
+Your channel receives config as a plain `dict`. Access fields with `.get()`:
+
+```python
+async def start(self) -> None:
+    port = self.config.get("port", 9000)
+    token = self.config.get("token", "")
+```
+
+`allowFrom` is handled automatically by `_handle_message()` — you don't need to check it yourself.
+
+Override `default_config()` so `nanobot onboard` auto-populates `config.json`:
+
+```python
+@classmethod
+def default_config(cls) -> dict[str, Any]:
+    return {"enabled": False, "port": 9000, "allowFrom": []}
+```
+
+If not overridden, the base class returns `{"enabled": false}`.
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+| What | Format | Example |
+|------|--------|---------|
+| PyPI package | `nanobot-channel-{name}` | `nanobot-channel-webhook` |
+| Entry point key | `{name}` | `webhook` |
+| Config section | `channels.{name}` | `channels.webhook` |
+| Python package | `nanobot_channel_{name}` | `nanobot_channel_webhook` |
+
+## Local Development
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/you/nanobot-channel-webhook
+cd nanobot-channel-webhook
+pip install -e .
+nanobot plugins list    # should show "Webhook" as "plugin"
+nanobot gateway         # test end-to-end
+```

+# 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.

+# 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())
+```

 ## Structure
 
-- `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. Each entry starts with [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM].
+- `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.
 
 ## Search Past Events
 
-```bash
-grep -i "keyword" memory/HISTORY.md
-```
+`memory/history.jsonl` is JSONL format — each line is a JSON object with `cursor`, `timestamp`, `content`.
 
-Use the `exec` tool to run grep. Combine patterns: `grep -iE "meeting|deadline" memory/HISTORY.md`
+- 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
 
-## When to Update MEMORY.md
+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)`
 
-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")
+## Important
 
-## 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.
+- **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.

+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Workflow Decision Tree -> ## Step 1 -> ## Step 2...
+
+**2. Task-Based** (best for tool collections)
+- Works well when the skill offers different operations/capabilities
+- Example: PDF skill with "Quick Start" -> "Merge PDFs" -> "Split PDFs" -> "Extract Text"
+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Quick Start -> ## Task Category 1 -> ## Task Category 2...
+
+**3. Reference/Guidelines** (best for standards or specifications)
+- Works well for brand guidelines, coding standards, or requirements
+- Example: Brand styling with "Brand Guidelines" -> "Colors" -> "Typography" -> "Features"
+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Guidelines -> ## Specifications -> ## Usage...
+
+**4. Capabilities-Based** (best for integrated systems)
+- Works well when the skill provides multiple interrelated features
+- Example: Product Management with "Core Capabilities" -> numbered capability list
+- Structure: ## Overview -> ## Core Capabilities -> ### 1. Feature -> ### 2. Feature...

+Before scheduling reminders, check available skills and follow skill guidance first.
+Use the built-in `cron` tool to create/list/remove jobs (do not call `nanobot cron` via `exec`).
 Get USER_ID and CHANNEL from the current session (e.g., `8281248569` and `telegram` from `telegram:8281248569`).
 
 **Do NOT just write reminders to MEMORY.md** — that won't trigger actual notifications.

+## 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

+- 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

+Extract key facts from this conversation. Only output items matching these categories, skip everything else:
+- User facts: personal info, preferences, stated opinions, habits
+- Decisions: choices made, conclusions reached
+- Solutions: working approaches discovered through trial and error, especially non-obvious methods that succeeded after failed attempts
+- Events: plans, deadlines, notable occurrences
+- Preferences: communication style, tool preferences
+
+Priority: user corrections and preferences > solutions > decisions > events > environment facts. The most valuable memory prevents the user from having to repeat themselves.
+
+Skip: code patterns derivable from source, git history, or anything already captured in existing memory.
+
+Output as concise bullet points, one fact per line. No preamble, no commentary.
+If nothing noteworthy happened, output: (nothing)

+Compare conversation history against current memory files.
+Output one line per finding:
+[FILE] atomic fact or change description
+
+Files: USER (identity, preferences, habits), SOUL (bot behavior, tone), MEMORY (knowledge, project context, tool patterns)
+
+Rules:
+- Only new or conflicting information — skip duplicates and ephemera
+- Prefer atomic facts: "has a cat named Luna" not "discussed pet care"
+- Corrections: [USER] location is Tokyo, not Osaka
+- Also capture confirmed approaches: if the user validated a non-obvious choice, note it
+
+If nothing needs updating: [SKIP] no new information
