refactor: restrict fallback_models to preset-only and clean up provider factory

- Restrict fallback_models to only reference preset names in model_presets.
- Add schema validation to reject unknown preset names in fallback_models.
- Remove build_provider_for_model() since bare model fallback is no longer supported.
- Simplify make_provider_factory() to only look up presets by name.
- Update onboard UI to remove "Add custom model" option from fallback chain.
- Update tests to use preset names instead of bare model strings in fallback chains.
- Fix test imports referencing deleted _make_provider function.

-# 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())

+- Copy the bot token
+
+**2. Enable intents**
+- 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.
+> `streaming` defaults to `true`. Disable it only if you explicitly want non-streaming replies.

+- Create or reuse a Matrix account on your homeserver (for example `matrix.org`).
+- Confirm you can log in with Element.
+
+**2. Get credentials**
+
+- You need:

+
+**1. Create a Feishu bot**
+- 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)
+  - Select **Long Connection** mode (requires running nanobot first to establish connection)
+- Get **App ID** and **App Secret** from "Credentials & Basic Info"
+- Publish the app

+# 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 |
+| `/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 |
+| `/help` | Show available in-chat commands |
+
+## 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.

+## 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.
+
+### Docker Compose

+# Or run a single command
+docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/home/nanobot/.nanobot --rm nanobot agent -m "Hello!"
+docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/home/nanobot/.nanobot --rm nanobot status
+```
+
+## 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">

+</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

+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.

 nanobot's memory is built on a simple belief: memory should feel alive, but it should not feel chaotic.

+# 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

+# My Tool
+
+Let the agent sense and adjust its own runtime state — like asking a coworker "are you busy? can you switch to a bigger monitor?"
+
+## Why You Need It
+
+Normal tools let the agent operate on the outside world (read/write files, search code). But the agent knows nothing about itself — it doesn't know which model it's running on, how many iterations are left, or how many tokens it has consumed.
+
+My tool fills this gap. With it, the agent can:
+
+- **Know who it is**: What model am I using? Where is my workspace? How many iterations remain?
+- **Adapt on the fly**: Complex task? Expand the context window. Simple chat? Switch to a faster model.
+- **Remember across turns**: Store notes in your scratchpad that persist into the next conversation turn.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This tool uses **snake_case** keys (`model_preset`, `context_window_tokens`).
+> The matching config fields in `config.json` are **camelCase** (`modelPreset`, `contextWindowTokens`).
+> See [`configuration.md`](./configuration.md#model-presets) for how to define presets in your config.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Enabled by default (read-only mode). The agent can check its state but not set it.
+
+```yaml
+tools:
+  my:
+    enable: true       # default: true
+    allow_set: false   # default: false (read-only)
+```
+
+To allow the agent to set its configuration (e.g. switch models, adjust parameters), set `tools.my.allow_set: true`.
+
+Legacy `tools.myEnabled` / `tools.mySet` keys are auto-migrated on load, and
+rewritten in-place the next time `nanobot onboard` refreshes the config.
+
+All modifications are held in memory only — restart restores defaults.
+
+---
+
+## check — Check "my" current state
+
+Without parameters, returns a key config overview:
+
+```text
+my(action="check")
+# → max_iterations: 40
+#   model_preset: 'fast'
+#   workspace: PosixPath('/tmp/workspace')
+#   provider_retry_mode: 'standard'
+#   max_tool_result_chars: 16000
+#   _current_iteration: 3
+#   _last_usage: {'prompt_tokens': 45000, 'completion_tokens': 8000}
+#   Note: prompt_tokens is cumulative across all turns, not current context window occupancy.
+```
+
+With a key parameter, drill into a specific config:
+
+```text
+my(action="check", key="_last_usage.prompt_tokens")
+# → How many prompt tokens I've used so far
+
+my(action="check", key="model_preset")
+# → Current active preset name (e.g. 'fast')
+
+my(action="check", key="model_presets")
+# → Lists all preset names and their models, e.g.:
+#   fast → gpt-4.1-mini (openai)
+#   deep → claude-opus-4-7 (anthropic)
+
+my(action="check", key="web_config.enable")
+# → Whether web search is enabled
+```
+
+### What you can do with it
+
+| Scenario | How |
+|----------|-----|
+| "What model are you using?" | `check("model_preset")` |
+| "How many more tool calls can you make?" | `check("max_iterations")` minus `check("_current_iteration")` |
+| "How many tokens has this conversation used?" | `check("_last_usage")` — cumulative across all turns |
+| "Where is your working directory?" | `check("workspace")` |
+| "Show me your full config" | `check()` |
+| "Are there any subagents running?" | `check("subagents")` — shows phase, iteration, elapsed time, tool events |
+
+---
+
+## set — Runtime tuning
+
+Changes take effect immediately, no restart required.
+
+```text
+my(action="set", key="max_iterations", value=80)
+# → Bump iteration limit from 40 to 80
+
+my(action="set", key="model_preset", value="fast")
+# → Switch to the 'fast' preset (model, provider, temperature, etc. all at once)
+#
+# If the preset name does not exist:
+# → Error: model_preset 'unknown' not found. Available: fast, deep
+
+my(action="set", key="context_window_tokens", value=131072)
+# → Expand context window for long documents
+```
+
+You can also store custom state in your scratchpad:
+
+```text
+my(action="set", key="current_project", value="nanobot")
+my(action="set", key="user_style_preference", value="concise")
+my(action="set", key="task_complexity", value="high")
+# → These values persist into the next conversation turn
+```
+
+### Protected parameters
+
+These parameters have validation — invalid values are rejected:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Range / Constraint | Purpose |
+|-----------|------|-------------------|---------|
+| `max_iterations` | int | 1–100 | Max tool calls per conversation turn |
+| `model_preset` | str | must exist in `model_presets` | Switch to a named preset bundle |
+
+Other parameters (e.g. `model`, `context_window_tokens`, `workspace`, `provider_retry_mode`, `max_tool_result_chars`) can be set freely, as long as the value is JSON-safe.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Setting `model` or `context_window_tokens` directly automatically clears the active `model_preset`, because the live state no longer matches the preset bundle. Use `model_preset` for atomic switches instead.
+
+---
+
+## Practical Scenarios
+
+### "This task is complex, I need more room"
+
+```text
+Agent: This codebase is large, let me expand my context window to handle it.
+→ my(action="set", key="context_window_tokens", value=131072)
+```
+
+### "Simple question, don't waste compute"
+
+```text
+Agent: This is a straightforward question, let me switch to the fast preset.
+→ my(action="set", key="model_preset", value="fast")
+```
+
+### "Remember user preferences across turns"
+
+```text
+Turn 1: my(action="set", key="user_prefers_concise", value=True)
+Turn 2: my(action="check", key="user_prefers_concise")
+# → True (still remembers the user likes concise replies)
+```
+
+### "Self-diagnosis"
+
+```text
+User: "Why aren't you searching the web?"
+Agent: Let me check my web config.
+→ my(action="check", key="web_config.enable")
+# → False
+Agent: Web search is disabled — please set web.enable: true in your config.
+```
+
+### "Token budget management"
+
+```text
+Agent: Let me check how much budget I have left.
+→ my(action="check", key="_last_usage")
+# → {"prompt_tokens": 45000, "completion_tokens": 8000}
+Agent: I've used ~53k tokens total so far. I'll keep my remaining replies concise.
+```
+
+### "Subagent monitoring"
+
+```text
+Agent: Let me check on the background tasks.
+→ my(action="check", key="subagents")
+# → 2 subagent(s):
+#   [task-1] 'Code review'
+#     phase: running, iteration: 5, elapsed: 12.3s
+#     tools: read(✓), grep(✓)
+#     usage: {'prompt_tokens': 8000, 'completion_tokens': 1200}
+#   [task-2] 'Write tests'
+#     phase: pending, iteration: 0, elapsed: 0.2s
+#     tools: none
+Agent: The code review is progressing well. The test task hasn't started yet.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Safety Mechanisms
+
+Core design principle: **All modifications live in memory only. Restart restores defaults.** The agent cannot cause persistent damage.
+
+### Off-limits (BLOCKED)
+
+Cannot be checked or modified — fully hidden:
+
+| Category | Attributes | Reason |
+|----------|-----------|--------|
+| Core infrastructure | `bus`, `provider`, `_running` | Changes would crash the system |
+| Tool registry | `tools` | Must not remove its own tools |
+| Subsystems | `runner`, `sessions`, `consolidator`, etc. | Affects other users/sessions |
+| Sensitive data | `_mcp_servers`, `_pending_queues`, etc. | Contains credentials and message routing |
+| Security boundaries | `restrict_to_workspace`, `channels_config` | Bypassing would violate isolation |
+| Python internals | `__class__`, `__dict__`, etc. | Prevents sandbox escape |
+
+### Read-only (check only)
+
+Can be checked but not set:
+
+| Category | Attributes | Reason |
+|----------|-----------|--------|
+| Subagent manager | `subagents` | Observable, but replacing breaks the system |
+| Execution config | `exec_config` | Can check sandbox/enable status, cannot change it |
+| Web config | `web_config` | Can check enable status, cannot change it |
+| Iteration counter | `_current_iteration` | Updated by runner only |
+
+### Sensitive field protection
+
+Sub-fields matching sensitive names (`api_key`, `password`, `secret`, `token`, etc.) are blocked from both check and set, regardless of parent path. This prevents credential leaks via dot-path traversal (e.g. `web_config.search.api_key`).

+# 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 /v1/models`
+- `POST /v1/chat/completions`

+# 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)
+

+```
+
+Use `nanobot onboard --wizard` if you want the interactive setup wizard.
+
+**2. Configure** (`~/.nanobot/config.json`)
+
+Configure these **two parts** in your config (other options have defaults).
+
+*Set your API key* (e.g. OpenRouter, recommended for global users):
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "openrouter": {
+      "apiKey": "sk-or-v1-xxx"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+*Set your model* (optionally pin a provider — defaults to auto-detection):
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
+      "provider": "openrouter"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+*Want to switch models mid-conversation?* Define [`modelPresets`](./configuration.md#model-presets) and switch instantly with `my(action="set", key="model_preset", value="fast")`.
+
+**3. Chat**
+
+```bash
+nanobot agent
+```
+
+That's it! You have a working AI agent in 2 minutes.

+## Multi-chat multiplexing
+
+A single WebSocket can carry many concurrent chats. The server tracks `chat_id -> {connections}` as a fan-out set, so the same chat can also be mirrored across multiple connections (e.g. two browser tabs).

+
+```text
+client                                server
+  | --- connect -------------------->  |
+  | <-- {"event":"ready",              |
+  |      "chat_id":"d3..."}   (default)|

+  |      "chat_id":"a1..."} --------->  |
+  | <-- {"event":"attached", ...}       |
+```
+
+### Rules
+
+- Every outbound event carries `chat_id`. Clients must dispatch by that field.
+- `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.

+description: "Create a new nanobot instance with separate config and workspace. Use when the user wants to set up a new bot, create a new instance for a different channel, persona, or purpose. Triggers on: create instance, new bot, set up bot, add bot, create telegram/discord/feishu/slack/wechat/wecom/dingtalk/qq/email/matrix/msteams/whatsapp bot, multi-instance setup."
+---
+
+# Create Instance
+
+Set up a new nanobot instance with its own config and workspace.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Collect information** (ask one at a time if not already provided):
+   - **Instance name** (required): short identifier, e.g. `telegram-bot`, `work-slack`
+   - **Channel type** (required): see table below
+   - **Model** (optional): LLM model, defaults to current instance
+
+2. **Do NOT collect secrets** in the chat (API keys, bot tokens). API keys are automatically inherited from the current instance via `--inherit-config`. Channel-specific tokens must be filled in manually after creation.
+
+3. **Run the creation script**:
+
+```bash
+python <skill-dir>/scripts/create_instance.py --name <name> --channel <channel> --inherit-config <current-config>
+```
+
+- `<skill-dir>` — the directory containing this SKILL.md
+- `<current-config>` — current instance's config path, typically `~/.nanobot/config.json`
+- Optional: `--model <model>`, `--config-dir <path>`
+
+**Exec tool constraints:**
+- Use forward-slash paths (works on all platforms)
+- Do not wrap paths in quotes
+- Do not use `cd`; pass the full script path directly
+
+4. **Report results** to the user:
+   - Config and workspace paths (script outputs them)
+   - Required fields to fill in (script lists them)
+   - Start command: `nanobot gateway --config <config-path>`
+
+## Available Channels
+
+| Channel | Key | Required Fields |
+|---------|-----|-----------------|
+| Telegram | `telegram` | token |
+| Discord | `discord` | token |
+| Feishu / Lark | `feishu` | app_id, app_secret |
+| DingTalk | `dingtalk` | client_id, client_secret |
+| Slack | `slack` | bot_token, app_token |
+| WeCom | `wecom` | bot_id, secret |
+| WeChat OA | `weixin` | token |
+| WhatsApp | `whatsapp` | bridge_token |
+| QQ | `qq` | app_id, secret |
+| Email | `email` | imap_host, imap_username, imap_password, smtp_host, smtp_username, smtp_password, from_address |
+| Matrix | `matrix` | user_id, password or access_token |
+| MS Teams | `msteams` | app_id, app_password, tenant_id |
+| MoChat | `mochat` | claw_token |
+| WebSocket | `websocket` | token |
+
+For detailed channel configuration including optional fields, see `references/channels.md`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"Unknown channel"**: Channel name must match the Key column exactly. Run the script without arguments to see usage.
+- **"Config already exists"**: Use a different `--name` or `--config-dir` to create in a new location.
+- **Port conflicts**: The script auto-assigns free ports for gateway and API if defaults are in use.

+description: Check and set the agent's own runtime state (model, iterations, context window, token usage, web config). Use when diagnosing why something doesn't work ("why can't you search the web?", "why did you stop?"), checking resource limits before complex tasks, adapting configuration for long or simple tasks, or remembering user preferences across turns. Also use when the user asks what model you are running, how many tokens you've used, or what your settings are.
+always: true
+---
+
+# Self-Awareness
+
+## How to use
+
+1. **Identify the situation** from the categories below
+2. **Call the my tool** with the appropriate action
+3. **If set**, warn the user before changing impactful settings (model, iterations)
+4. **For detailed examples**, read [references/examples.md](references/examples.md)
+
+## When to check
+
+<rule>
+**Diagnose before explaining.** When something doesn't work, check your state first.
+</rule>
+
+<rule>
+**Check budget before complex tasks.** Know your limits before committing.
+</rule>
+
+<rule>
+**Recall across turns.** Store preferences in your scratchpad, read them back later.
+</rule>
+
+## When to set
+
+<rule>
+**Only set when benefit is clear and user is informed.** Warn before changing model.
+</rule>
+
+| Situation | Command |
+|-----------|---------|
+| Large codebase analysis | `my(action="set", key="context_window_tokens", value=131072)` |
+| Repetitive simple tasks | `my(action="set", key="model", value="<fast-model>")` |
+| Long multi-step task | `my(action="set", key="max_iterations", value=80)` |
+
+**Tradeoff:** Bias toward stability. Only set when defaults are genuinely insufficient.
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+<rule>
+**Don't check every turn.** Costs a tool call. Use when you need information, not reflexively.
+</rule>
+
+<rule>
+**Don't store sensitive data.** No API keys, passwords, or tokens in scratchpad.
+</rule>
+
+<rule>
+**Don't set workspace.** Does not update file tool boundaries — won't work.
+</rule>
+
+## Constraints
+
+- All modifications in-memory only — restart resets everything
+- Protected params have type/range validation: `max_iterations` (1–100), `context_window_tokens` (4096–1M), `model` (non-empty str)
+- If `tools.my.allow_set` is false, check only
+
+## Related tools
+
+| Need | Use | Persists? |
+|------|-----|-----------|
+| Per-session temp state | `my(action="set", key="...", value=...)` | No |
+| Long-term facts | Memory skill (`MEMORY.md`, `USER.md`) | Yes |
+| Permanent config change | Edit config file | Yes |
+
+**Rule of thumb:** Tomorrow? Memory. This turn only? My.

+# My Tool — Practical Examples
+
+Concrete scenarios showing when and how to use the my tool effectively.
+
+## Diagnosis
+
+### "Why can't you search the web?"
+```
+→ my(action="check", key="web_config.enable")
+  → False
+→ "Web search is disabled. Add web.enable: true to your config to enable it."
+```
+
+### "Why did you stop?"
+```
+→ my(action="check", key="max_iterations")
+  → 40
+→ my(action="check", key="_last_usage")
+  → {"prompt_tokens": 62000, "completion_tokens": 3000}
+→ "I hit the iteration limit (40). The task was complex. I can ask the user if they want to increase it."
+```
+
+### "What model are you running?"
+```
+→ my(action="check", key="model")
+  → 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514'
+```
+
+## Adaptive Behavior
+
+### Large codebase analysis
+```
+→ my(action="check")
+  → context_window_tokens: 65536
+→ my(action="set", key="context_window_tokens", value=131072)
+  → "Set context_window_tokens = 131072 (was 65536)"
+→ "I've expanded my context window to handle this large codebase."
+```
+
+### Switching to a faster model for repetitive tasks
+```
+→ my(action="set", key="model", value="anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5-20251001")
+  → "Set model = 'anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5-20251001' (was 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514')"
+→ "Switched to a faster model for these batch tasks."
+```
+
+## Cross-Turn Memory
+
+### Remembering user preferences
+```
+# Turn 1: user says "keep it brief"
+→ my(action="set", key="user_style", value="concise")
+  → "Set scratchpad.user_style = 'concise'"
+
+# Turn 3: new topic
+→ my(action="check", key="user_style")
+  → 'concise'
+  (adjusts response style accordingly)
+```
+
+### Tracking project context
+```
+→ my(action="set", key="active_branch", value="feat/auth")
+→ my(action="set", key="test_framework", value="pytest")
+→ my(action="set", key="has_docker", value=true)
+```
+
+## Budget Awareness
+
+### Token-conscious behavior
+```
+→ my(action="check", key="_last_usage")
+  → {"prompt_tokens": 58000, "completion_tokens": 12000}
+→ "I've consumed ~70k tokens. I'll keep my remaining responses focused."
