feat(exec): add command_wrapper for sandbox support

Allow users to wrap shell commands in a sandbox (e.g. bubblewrap,
firejail, nsjail) via config, without nanobot baking in any sandbox
backend. The template supports {command} and {cwd} placeholders with
plain string replacement.

+    "sendMaxRetries": 3,

+```
+
+| Setting | Default | Description |
+|---------|---------|-------------|
+| `sendProgress` | `true` | Stream agent's text progress to the channel |
+| `sendToolHints` | `false` | Stream tool-call hints (e.g. `read_file("…")`) |
+| `sendMaxRetries` | `3` | Max delivery attempts per outbound message, including the initial send (0-10 configured, minimum 1 actual attempt) |
+
+#### Retry Behavior
+
+When a channel send operation raises an error, nanobot retries with exponential backoff:
+
+- **Attempt 1**: Initial send
+- **Attempts 2-4**: Retry delays are 1s, 2s, 4s
+- **Attempts 5+**: Retry delay caps at 4s
+- **Transient failures** (network hiccups, temporary API limits): Retry usually succeeds
+- **Permanent failures** (invalid token, channel banned): All retries fail
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When a channel is completely unavailable, there's no way to notify the user since we cannot reach them through that channel. Monitor logs for "Failed to send to {channel} after N attempts" to detect persistent delivery failures.

+### Timezone
+
+Time is context. Context should be precise.
+
+By default, nanobot uses `UTC` for runtime time context. If you want the agent to think in your local time, set `agents.defaults.timezone` to a valid [IANA timezone name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones):
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "timezone": "Asia/Shanghai"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This affects runtime time strings shown to the model, such as runtime context and heartbeat prompts. It also becomes the default timezone for cron schedules when a cron expression omits `tz`, and for one-shot `at` times when the ISO datetime has no explicit offset.
+
+Common examples: `UTC`, `America/New_York`, `America/Los_Angeles`, `Europe/London`, `Europe/Berlin`, `Asia/Tokyo`, `Asia/Shanghai`, `Asia/Singapore`, `Australia/Sydney`.

+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.

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

+
+## 🔌 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`
+- No streaming: `stream=true` is not supported
+
+### Endpoints
+
+- `GET /health`
+- `GET /v1/models`
+- `POST /v1/chat/completions`
+
+### curl
+
+```bash
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8900/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}],

+## 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.

+# Exec Tool Sandbox (`commandWrapper`)
+
+The `tools.exec.commandWrapper` config option wraps every shell command in a user-defined template before execution. This allows you to add a sandbox layer (e.g. bubblewrap, firejail, nsjail) without any code changes to nanobot.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "exec": {
+      "commandWrapper": "<template>"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Leave empty (the default) to run commands directly with no wrapper.
+
+## Placeholders
+
+Two placeholders are available in the template:
+
+| Placeholder | Value |
+|---|---|
+| `{command}` | The original shell command generated by the LLM |
+| `{cwd}` | Absolute path of the working directory |
+
+nanobot performs plain string replacement — it does not parse, validate, or shell-escape the values. The wrapper template is trusted configuration.
+
+## Examples
+
+### bubblewrap
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "exec": {
+      "commandWrapper": "bwrap --ro-bind /usr /usr --ro-bind-try /bin /bin --ro-bind-try /lib /lib --ro-bind-try /lib64 /lib64 --proc /proc --dev /dev --tmpfs /tmp --bind {cwd} {cwd} --chdir {cwd} -- sh -c \"{command}\""
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Requires: `apt install bubblewrap` (or equivalent for your distro).
+
+### firejail
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "exec": {
+      "commandWrapper": "firejail --noprofile --private={cwd} -- {command}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### nsjail
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "exec": {
+      "commandWrapper": "nsjail -Mo --chroot /sandbox --cwd {cwd} -- {command}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Caveats
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> **Do not wrap `{command}` in shell quotes.** If the original command contains the same quote character, the shell will break the quoting context. For example, `sh -c '{command}'` will fail on any command that contains single quotes.
+
+This is an inherent limitation of the template approach — nanobot substitutes `{command}` as a raw string and cannot safely shell-quote it (the command may contain compound syntax like `&&`, `|`, `;` that must be preserved for the inner shell).
+
+### Interaction with `create_subprocess_shell`
+
+nanobot executes the wrapped command via `create_subprocess_shell`, which adds an outer shell layer. Keep this in mind when designing your template:
+
+- **Without `sh -c`** (e.g. `firejail ... -- {command}`): The outer shell parses `{command}` directly. Compound commands with `&&` and `|` work as expected because they are parsed by the outer shell before the sandbox tool receives them.
+- **With `sh -c`** (e.g. `bwrap ... -- sh -c "{command}"`): The command is passed through two shell layers. This is only needed if the sandbox tool requires a single command argument but you want to support compound syntax.
+
+### `restrict_to_workspace` is independent
+
+The `tools.restrictToWorkspace` setting and `commandWrapper` are orthogonal features. The workspace restriction guards against path traversal in the original command (before wrapping). The sandbox wrapper provides OS-level isolation. You can use either or both — they address different threat models.

+# Python SDK
+
+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())
+```
