fix(agent): improve cross-channel session persist robustness

fix(agent): persist cross-channel messages into target session history
When session A (e.g. websocket) uses the `message` tool to send to channel B (e.g. feishu), the outbound message is delivered to the user but was never recorded in session B's history. This caused session B to lose context when the user replied on that channel. Add `_persist_cross_channel_calls()` to detect cross-channel `message` tool calls during `_save_turn()` and append a lightweight assistant entry (with `_cross_channel: True` marker) to the target session.

 # 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.

 # 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())

 - Outstanding tokens are capped at 10,000. Requests beyond this return HTTP 429.
 - Expired tokens are purged lazily on each issue or validation request.
 ## 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).
 ### Typical flow (web UI with a sidebar)
 ```text
 client                                server
  | --- connect -------------------->  |
  | <-- {"event":"ready",              |
  |      "chat_id":"d3..."}   (default)|
  |                                     |
  | --- {"type":"new_chat"} --------->  |
  | <-- {"event":"attached",            |
  |      "chat_id":"a1..."}             |
  |                                     |
  | --- {"type":"message",              |
  |      "chat_id":"a1...",             |
  |      "content":"hi"} ------------>  |
  | <-- {"event":"delta", ...}          |
  | <-- {"event":"stream_end", ...}     |
  |                                     |
  | --- {"type":"attach",               |  # after page reload
  |      "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.
- **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.
+- **Token isolation**: Each WebSocket connection gets a unique `chat_id`. Clients cannot access other sessions.
 - **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.

 <summary><b>Discord</b></summary>
 **1. Create a bot**
 - Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
 - Create an application → Bot → Add Bot
 - 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**
 - Right-click your avatar → **Copy User ID**
 **4. Configure**
 ```json
 {
  "channels": {
    "discord": {
      "enabled": true,
      "token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
      "allowFrom": ["YOUR_USER_ID"],
      "allowChannels": [],
      "groupPolicy": "mention",
      "streaming": true
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 > `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.
 **5. Invite the bot**
 - OAuth2 → URL Generator
 - Scopes: `bot`
 - Bot Permissions: `Send Messages`, `Read Message History`
 - Open the generated invite URL and add the bot to your server
 **6. Run**

 > Matrix is not supported on Windows. `matrix-nio[e2e]` depends on
 > `python-olm`, which has no pre-built Windows wheel and is skipped by the
 > `matrix` extra on `sys_platform == 'win32'`. The command above will still
 > succeed on Windows but without `matrix-nio` installed, so enabling the

 **1. Create/choose a Matrix account**
 - 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:
  - `userId` (example: `@nanobot:matrix.org`)
  - `password`
 (Note: `accessToken` and `deviceId` are still supported for legacy reasons, but
 for reliable encryption, password login is recommended instead. If the
 `password` is provided, `accessToken` and `deviceId` will be ignored.)
 **3. Configure**

 <summary><b>Feishu</b></summary>
 Uses **WebSocket** long connection — no public IP required.
 **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
 **2. Configure**

 <summary><b>Email</b></summary>
 Give nanobot its own email account. It polls **IMAP** for incoming mail and replies via **SMTP** — like a personal email assistant.
 **1. Get credentials (Gmail example)**
 - Create a dedicated Gmail account for your bot (e.g. `my-nanobot@gmail.com`)
 - Enable 2-Step Verification → Create an [App Password](https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords)
 - Use this app password for both IMAP and SMTP
 **2. Configure**
 > - `consentGranted` must be `true` to allow mailbox access. This is a safety gate — set `false` to fully disable.
 > - `allowFrom`: Add your email address. Use `["*"]` to accept emails from anyone.
 > - `smtpUseTls` and `smtpUseSsl` default to `true` / `false` respectively, which is correct for Gmail (port 587 + STARTTLS). No need to set them explicitly.
 > - Set `"autoReplyEnabled": false` if you only want to read/analyze emails without sending automatic replies.
 > - `allowedAttachmentTypes`: Save inbound attachments matching these MIME types — `["*"]` for all, e.g. `["application/pdf", "image/*"]` (default `[]` = disabled).
 > - `maxAttachmentSize`: Max size per attachment in bytes (default `2000000` / 2MB).
 > - `maxAttachmentsPerEmail`: Max attachments to save per email (default `5`).

 # 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.

 # Configuration
 Config file: `~/.nanobot/config.json`
 > [!NOTE]
 > If your config file is older than the current schema, you can refresh it without overwriting your existing values:
 > run `nanobot onboard`, then answer `N` when asked whether to overwrite the config.
 > nanobot will merge in missing default fields and keep your current settings.
 ## Environment Variables for Secrets
 Instead of storing secrets directly in `config.json`, you can use `${VAR_NAME}` references that are resolved from environment variables at startup:
 ```json
 {
  "channels": {
    "telegram": { "token": "${TELEGRAM_TOKEN}" },
    "email": {
      "imapPassword": "${IMAP_PASSWORD}",
      "smtpPassword": "${SMTP_PASSWORD}"
    }
  },
  "providers": {
    "groq": { "apiKey": "${GROQ_API_KEY}" }
  }
 }
 ```
 For **systemd** deployments, use `EnvironmentFile=` in the service unit to load variables from a file that only the deploying user can read:
 ```ini
 # /etc/systemd/system/nanobot.service (excerpt)
 [Service]
 EnvironmentFile=/home/youruser/nanobot_secrets.env
 User=nanobot
 ExecStart=...
 ```
 ```bash
 # /home/youruser/nanobot_secrets.env (mode 600, owned by youruser)
 TELEGRAM_TOKEN=your-token-here
 IMAP_PASSWORD=your-password-here
 ```
 ## Providers
 > [!TIP]
 > - **Voice transcription**: Voice messages (Telegram, WhatsApp) are automatically transcribed using Whisper. By default Groq is used (free tier). Set `"transcriptionProvider": "openai"` under `channels` to use OpenAI Whisper instead, and optionally set `"transcriptionLanguage": "en"` (or another ISO-639-1 code) for more accurate transcription. The API key is picked from the matching provider config.
 > - **MiniMax Coding Plan**: Exclusive discount links for the nanobot community: [Overseas](https://platform.minimax.io/subscribe/coding-plan?code=9txpdXw04g&source=link) · [Mainland China](https://platform.minimaxi.com/subscribe/token-plan?code=GILTJpMTqZ&source=link)
 > - **MiniMax (Mainland China)**: If your API key is from MiniMax's mainland China platform (minimaxi.com), set `"apiBase": "https://api.minimaxi.com/v1"` in your minimax provider config.
 > - **MiniMax thinking mode**: Use `providers.minimaxAnthropic` when you want `reasoningEffort` / thinking mode. MiniMax exposes that capability through its Anthropic-compatible endpoint, so nanobot keeps it as a separate provider instead of guessing MiniMax-specific thinking parameters on the generic OpenAI-compatible `minimax` endpoint. It uses the same `MINIMAX_API_KEY`. Default Anthropic-compatible base URL: `https://api.minimax.io/anthropic`; for mainland China use `https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic`.
 > - **VolcEngine / BytePlus Coding Plan**: Use dedicated providers `volcengineCodingPlan` or `byteplusCodingPlan` instead of the pay-per-use `volcengine` / `byteplus` providers.
 > - **Zhipu Coding Plan**: If you're on Zhipu's coding plan, set `"apiBase": "https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/coding/paas/v4"` in your zhipu provider config.
 > - **Alibaba Cloud BaiLian**: If you're using Alibaba Cloud BaiLian's OpenAI-compatible endpoint, set `"apiBase": "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1"` in your dashscope provider config.
 > - **Step Fun (Mainland China)**: If your API key is from Step Fun's mainland China platform (stepfun.com), set `"apiBase": "https://api.stepfun.com/v1"` in your stepfun provider config.

 <summary><b>Custom Provider (Any OpenAI-compatible API)</b></summary>
 Connects directly to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — llama.cpp, Together AI, Fireworks, Azure OpenAI, or any self-hosted server. Model name is passed as-is.
 ```json
 {
  "providers": {
    "custom": {
      "apiKey": "your-api-key",
      "apiBase": "https://api.your-provider.com/v1"
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": "your-model-name"
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 > For local servers that don't require authentication, set `apiKey` to `null`.
 >
 > `custom` is the right choice for providers that expose an OpenAI-compatible **chat completions** API. It does **not** force third-party endpoints onto the OpenAI/Azure **Responses API**.
 >
 > If your proxy or gateway is specifically Responses-API-compatible, use the `azure_openai` provider shape instead and point `apiBase` at that endpoint:
 >
 > ```json
 > {
 >   "providers": {
 >     "azure_openai": {
 >       "apiKey": "your-api-key",
 >       "apiBase": "https://api.your-provider.com",

 >       "model": "your-model-name"
 >     }
 >   }
 > }
 > ```
 >
 > In short: **chat-completions-compatible endpoint → `custom`**; **Responses-compatible endpoint → `azure_openai`**.
 Some OpenAI-compatible gateways expose request-body extensions such as vLLM guided decoding or local sampling controls. Put those under `extraBody`; nanobot merges them into the chat-completions request body after its provider defaults:
 ```json
 {
  "providers": {
    "custom": {
      "apiKey": "your-api-key",
      "apiBase": "https://api.your-provider.com/v1",
      "extraBody": {
        "repetition_penalty": 1.15,
        "chat_template_kwargs": {

 <summary><b>Adding a New Provider (Developer Guide)</b></summary>
 nanobot uses a **Provider Registry** (`nanobot/providers/registry.py`) as the single source of truth.
 Adding a new provider only takes **2 steps** — no if-elif chains to touch.
 **Step 1.** Add a `ProviderSpec` entry to `PROVIDERS` in `nanobot/providers/registry.py`:
 ```python
 ProviderSpec(
    name="myprovider",                   # config field name
    keywords=("myprovider", "mymodel"),  # model-name keywords for auto-matching
    env_key="MYPROVIDER_API_KEY",        # env var name
    display_name="My Provider",          # shown in `nanobot status`
    default_api_base="https://api.myprovider.com/v1",  # OpenAI-compatible endpoint
 )
 ```
 **Step 2.** Add a field to `ProvidersConfig` in `nanobot/config/schema.py`:
 ```python
 class ProvidersConfig(BaseModel):
    ...
    myprovider: ProviderConfig = ProviderConfig()
 ```
 That's it! Environment variables, model routing, config matching, and `nanobot status` display will all work automatically.
 **Common `ProviderSpec` options:**
 | Field | Description | Example |
 |-------|-------------|---------|
 | `default_api_base` | OpenAI-compatible base URL | `"https://api.deepseek.com"` |
 | `env_extras` | Additional env vars to set | `(("ZHIPUAI_API_KEY", "{api_key}"),)` |
 | `model_overrides` | Per-model parameter overrides | `(("kimi-k2.5", {"temperature": 1.0}), ("kimi-k2.6", {"temperature": 1.0}),)` |
 | `is_gateway` | Can route any model (like OpenRouter) | `True` |
 | `detect_by_key_prefix` | Detect gateway by API key prefix | `"sk-or-"` |
 | `detect_by_base_keyword` | Detect gateway by API base URL | `"openrouter"` |
 | `strip_model_prefix` | Strip provider prefix before sending to gateway | `True` (for AiHubMix) |
 | `supports_max_completion_tokens` | Use `max_completion_tokens` instead of `max_tokens`; required for providers that reject both being set simultaneously (e.g. VolcEngine) | `True` |
 </details>
 ## Channel Settings
 Global settings that apply to all channels. Configure under the `channels` section in `~/.nanobot/config.json`:
 ```json
 {
  "channels": {
    "sendProgress": true,
    "sendToolHints": false,
    "sendMaxRetries": 3,
    "transcriptionProvider": "groq",
    "transcriptionLanguage": null,
    "telegram": { ... }
  }
 }
 ```
 | 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) |
 | `transcriptionProvider` | `"groq"` | Voice transcription backend: `"groq"` (free tier, default) or `"openai"`. API key is auto-resolved from the matching provider config. |
 | `transcriptionLanguage` | `null` | Optional ISO-639-1 language hint for audio transcription, e.g. `"en"`, `"ko"`, `"ja"`. |
 `sendProgress` and `sendToolHints` can also be overridden per channel. The
 global values stay as defaults for channels that do not set their own value:
 ```json
 {
  "channels": {
    "sendProgress": true,
    "sendToolHints": false,
    "telegram": {
      "enabled": true,
      "sendProgress": false
    },
    "websocket": {
      "enabled": true,
      "sendToolHints": true
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 ### Retry Behavior
 Retry is intentionally simple.
 When a channel `send()` raises, nanobot retries at the channel-manager layer. By default, `channels.sendMaxRetries` is `3`, and that count includes the initial send.
 - **Attempt 1**: Send immediately
 - **Attempt 2**: Retry after `1s`
 - **Attempt 3**: Retry after `2s`
 - **Higher retry budgets**: Backoff continues as `1s`, `2s`, `4s`, then stays capped at `4s`
 - **Transient failures**: Network hiccups and temporary API limits often recover on the next attempt
 - **Permanent failures**: Invalid tokens, revoked access, or banned channels will exhaust the retry budget and fail cleanly
 > [!NOTE]
 > This design is deliberate: channel implementations should raise on delivery failure, and the channel manager owns the shared retry policy.
 >
 > Some channels may still apply small API-specific retries internally. For example, Telegram separately retries timeout and flood-control errors before surfacing a final failure to the manager.
 >
 > If a channel is completely unreachable, nanobot cannot notify the user through that same channel. Watch logs for `Failed to send to {channel} after N attempts` to spot persistent delivery failures.
 ## Web Tools
 nanobot incorporates basic tools for accessing the web. These include searching via APIs, and fetching arbitrary web pages in Markdown format. They are enabled by default, and can be configured in `~/.nanobot/config.json` under `tools.web`.
 If you want to disable them, which removes both `web_search` and `web_fetch` from the tool list sent to the LLM, set `tools.web.enable` to `false`:
 ```json
 {
  "tools": {
    "web": {
      "enable": false
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 If you need to allow trusted private ranges such as Tailscale / CGNAT addresses, you can explicitly exempt them from SSRF blocking with `tools.ssrfWhitelist`:
 ```json
 {
  "tools": {
    "ssrfWhitelist": ["100.64.0.0/10"]
  }
 }
 ```
 > [!TIP]
 > Use `proxy` in `tools.web` to route all web requests (search + fetch) through a proxy:
 > ```json
 > { "tools": { "web": { "proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:7890" } } }
 > ```
 ### `tools.web`
 | Option | Type | Default | Description |
 |--------|------|---------|-------------|
 | `enable` | boolean | `true` | Enable or disable all built-in web tools (`web_search` + `web_fetch`) |
 | `proxy` | string or null | `null` | Proxy for all web requests, for example `http://127.0.0.1:7890` |
 | `userAgent` | string or null | `null` | User-Agent header for all web requests. If null, a browser one will be used |
 ### Web Search
 nanobot supports multiple web search providers. Configure in `~/.nanobot/config.json` under `tools.web.search`.
 By default, web search uses `duckduckgo`, and it works out of the box without an API key.
 | Provider | Config fields | Env var fallback | Free |

 ### Web Fetch
 > [!TIP]
 > If you are having issues with JS proof-of-work or Cloudflare captchas, set a random user agent and disable Jina Reader:
 > ```json
 > { "tools": { "web": { "userAgent": "Not-A-Browser", "fetch": { "useJinaReader": false } } } }
 > ```
 nanobot by default uses [Jina Reader](https://jina.ai/reader/), a third-party API, to convert arbitrary pages into Markdown format for easy digestion by the LLM, with a local fallback based on [readability-lxml](https://github.com/buriy/python-readability) if the former fails.
 If you want to always use the local conversion, you can force it using:
 ```json
 {
  "tools": {
    "web": {
      "fetch": {
        "useJinaReader": false
      }
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 #### `tools.web.fetch`
 | Option | Type | Default | Description |
 |--------|------|---------|-------------|
 | `useJinaReader` | boolean | `true` | If true, Jina Reader will be preferred over the local conversion |
 ## MCP (Model Context Protocol)
 > [!TIP]
 > The config format is compatible with Claude Desktop / Cursor. You can copy MCP server configs directly from any MCP server's README.
 nanobot supports [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) — connect external tool servers and use them as native agent tools.
 Add MCP servers to your `config.json`:
 ```json
 {
  "tools": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "filesystem": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/dir"]
      },
      "my-remote-mcp": {
        "url": "https://example.com/mcp/",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer xxxxx"
        }
      }
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 Two transport modes are supported:
 | Mode | Config | Example |
 |------|--------|---------|
 | **Stdio** | `command` + `args` | Local process via `npx` / `uvx` |
 | **HTTP** | `url` + `headers` (optional) | Remote endpoint (`https://mcp.example.com/sse`) |
 Use `toolTimeout` to override the default 30s per-call timeout for slow servers:
 ```json
 {
  "tools": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "my-slow-server": {
        "url": "https://example.com/mcp/",
        "toolTimeout": 120
      }
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 Use `enabledTools` to register only a subset of tools from an MCP server:
 ```json
 {
  "tools": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "filesystem": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/dir"],
        "enabledTools": ["read_file", "mcp_filesystem_write_file"]
      }
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 `enabledTools` accepts either the raw MCP tool name (for example `read_file`) or the wrapped nanobot tool name (for example `mcp_filesystem_write_file`).
 - Omit `enabledTools`, or set it to `["*"]`, to register all tools.
 - Set `enabledTools` to `[]` to register no tools from that server.
 - Set `enabledTools` to a non-empty list of names to register only that subset.
 MCP tools are automatically discovered and registered on startup. The LLM can use them alongside built-in tools — no extra configuration needed.
 ## Security
 > [!TIP]
 > For production deployments, set `"restrictToWorkspace": true` and `"tools.exec.sandbox": "bwrap"` in your config to sandbox the agent.
 > In `v0.1.4.post3` and earlier, an empty `allowFrom` allowed all senders. Since `v0.1.4.post4`, empty `allowFrom` denies all access by default. To allow all senders, set `"allowFrom": ["*"]`.
 | Option | Default | Description |
 |--------|---------|-------------|
 | `tools.restrictToWorkspace` | `false` | When `true`, restricts **all** agent tools (shell, file read/write/edit, list) to the workspace directory. Prevents path traversal and out-of-scope access. |
 | `tools.exec.sandbox` | `""` | Sandbox backend for shell commands. Set to `"bwrap"` to wrap exec calls in a [bubblewrap](https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap) sandbox — the process can only see the workspace (read-write) and media directory (read-only); config files and API keys are hidden. Automatically enables `restrictToWorkspace` for file tools. **Linux only** — requires `bwrap` installed (`apt install bubblewrap`; pre-installed in the Docker image). Not available on macOS or Windows (bwrap depends on Linux kernel namespaces). |
 | `tools.exec.enable` | `true` | When `false`, the shell `exec` tool is not registered at all. Use this to completely disable shell command execution. |
 | `tools.exec.pathAppend` | `""` | Extra directories to append to `PATH` when running shell commands (e.g. `/usr/sbin` for `ufw`). |
 | `channels.*.allowFrom` | `[]` (deny all) | Whitelist of user IDs. Empty denies all; use `["*"]` to allow everyone. |
 **Docker security**: The official Docker image runs as a non-root user (`nanobot`, UID 1000) with bubblewrap pre-installed. When using `docker-compose.yml`, the container drops all Linux capabilities except `SYS_ADMIN` (required for bwrap's namespace isolation).
 ## Auto Compact
 When a user is idle for longer than a configured threshold, nanobot **proactively** compresses the older part of the session context into a summary while keeping a recent legal suffix of live messages. This reduces token cost and first-token latency when the user returns — instead of re-processing a long stale context with an expired KV cache, the model receives a compact summary, the most recent live context, and fresh input.
 ```json
 {
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "idleCompactAfterMinutes": 15
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 | Option | Default | Description |
 |--------|---------|-------------|
 | `agents.defaults.idleCompactAfterMinutes` | `0` (disabled) | Minutes of idle time before auto-compaction starts. Set to `0` to disable. Recommended: `15` — close to a typical LLM KV cache expiry window, so stale sessions get compacted before the user returns. |
 `sessionTtlMinutes` remains accepted as a legacy alias for backward compatibility, but `idleCompactAfterMinutes` is the preferred config key going forward.
 How it works:
 1. **Idle detection**: On each idle tick (~1 s), checks all sessions for expiration.
 2. **Background compaction**: Idle sessions summarize the older live prefix via LLM and keep the most recent legal suffix (currently 8 messages).
 3. **Summary injection**: When the user returns, the summary is injected as runtime context (one-shot, not persisted) alongside the retained recent suffix.
 4. **Restart-safe resume**: The summary is also mirrored into session metadata so it can still be recovered after a process restart.
 > [!NOTE]
 > Mental model: "summarize older context, keep the freshest live turns, **and overwrite the session file with the compact form.**" It is not a full `session.clear()`, but it is a write — not a soft cursor move.
 >
 > Concretely, auto compact rewrites `sessions/<key>.jsonl` in place: older messages (including their structured `tool_calls` / `tool_call_id` / `reasoning_content`) are replaced by just the retained recent suffix (currently 8 messages), while the archived prefix is preserved only as a plain-text summary appended to `memory/history.jsonl` (or a `[RAW] ...` flattened dump if LLM summarization fails). The original structured JSON of those turns is no longer recoverable from the session file.
 >
 > This differs from the **token-driven soft consolidation** that fires when a prompt exceeds the context budget: that path only advances an internal `last_consolidated` cursor and leaves the session file untouched, so the raw tool-call trail stays on disk and can still be replayed or audited. If you rely on that trail for debugging or auditing, leave `idleCompactAfterMinutes` at the default `0` and let only the token-driven path run.
 ## 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`.
 > Need another timezone? Browse the full [IANA Time Zone Database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).
 ## Unified Session
 By default, each channel × chat ID combination gets its own session. If you use nanobot across multiple channels (e.g. Telegram + Discord + CLI) and want them to share the same conversation, enable `unifiedSession`:
 ```json
 {
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "unifiedSession": true
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 When enabled, all incoming messages — regardless of which channel they arrive on — are routed into a single shared session. Switching from Telegram to Discord (or any other channel) continues the same conversation seamlessly.
 | Behavior | `false` (default) | `true` |
 |----------|-------------------|--------|
 | Session key | `channel:chat_id` | `unified:default` |
 | Cross-channel continuity | No | Yes |
 | `/new` clears | Current channel session | Shared session |
 | `/stop` finds tasks | By channel session | By shared session |
 | Existing `session_key_override` (e.g. Telegram thread) | Respected | Still respected — not overwritten |
 > This is designed for single-user, multi-device setups. It is **off by default** — existing users see zero behavior change.
 ## Disabled Skills
 nanobot ships with built-in skills, and your workspace can also define custom skills under `skills/`. If you want to hide specific skills from the agent, set `agents.defaults.disabledSkills` to a list of skill directory names:
 ```json
 {
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "disabledSkills": ["github", "weather"]
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 Disabled skills are excluded from the main agent's skill summary, from always-on skill injection, and from subagent skill summaries. This is useful when some bundled skills are unnecessary for your deployment or should not be exposed to end users.
 | Option | Default | Description |
 |--------|---------|-------------|
 | `agents.defaults.disabledSkills` | `[]` | List of skill directory names to exclude from loading. Applies to both built-in skills and workspace skills. |

 # Deployment
 ## Docker
 > [!TIP]
 > The `-v ~/.nanobot:/home/nanobot/.nanobot` flag mounts your local config directory into the container, so your config and workspace persist across container restarts.
 > The container runs as the non-root user `nanobot` (UID 1000) and reads config from `/home/nanobot/.nanobot`. Always mount your host config directory to `/home/nanobot/.nanobot`, not `/root/.nanobot`.
 > If you get **Permission denied**, fix ownership on the host first: `sudo chown -R 1000:1000 ~/.nanobot`, or pass `--user $(id -u):$(id -g)` to match your host UID. Podman users can use `--userns=keep-id` instead.
 >
 > [!IMPORTANT]
 > Official Docker usage currently means building from this repository with the included `Dockerfile`. Docker Hub images under third-party namespaces are not maintained or verified by HKUDS/nanobot; do not mount API keys or bot tokens into them unless you trust the publisher.
 ### Docker Compose
 ```bash
 docker compose run --rm nanobot-cli onboard   # first-time setup
 vim ~/.nanobot/config.json                     # add API keys
 docker compose up -d nanobot-gateway           # start gateway
 ```
 ```bash
 docker compose run --rm nanobot-cli agent -m "Hello!"   # run CLI
 docker compose logs -f nanobot-gateway                   # view logs
 docker compose down                                      # stop
 ```
 ### Docker
 ```bash
 # Build the image
 docker build -t nanobot .
 # Initialize config (first time only)
 docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/home/nanobot/.nanobot --rm nanobot onboard
 # Edit config on host to add API keys
 vim ~/.nanobot/config.json
 # Run gateway (connects to enabled channels, e.g. Telegram/Discord/Mochat)
 docker run -v ~/.nanobot:/home/nanobot/.nanobot -p 18790:18790 nanobot gateway
 # 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 version="1.0">

  <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
  <string>/Users/youruser/.nanobot/logs/gateway.error.log</string>
 </dict>
 </plist>
 ```
 **3. Load and start it:**
 ```bash
 mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/.nanobot/logs
 launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.nanobot.gateway.plist
 launchctl enable gui/$(id -u)/ai.nanobot.gateway
 launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/ai.nanobot.gateway
 ```
 **Common operations:**
 ```bash
 launchctl list | grep ai.nanobot.gateway
 launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/ai.nanobot.gateway   # restart
 launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.nanobot.gateway.plist
 ```
 After editing the plist, run `launchctl bootout ...` and `launchctl bootstrap ...` again.
 > **Note:** if startup fails with "address already in use", stop the manually started `nanobot gateway` process first.

 # 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.
 ## 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
 #   context_window_tokens: 65536
 #   model: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514'
 #   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")
 # → What model I'm currently running on
 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")` |
 | "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", value="fast-model")
 # → Switch to a faster model
 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 type and range validation — invalid values are rejected:
 | Parameter | Type | Range | Purpose |
 |-----------|------|-------|---------|
 | `max_iterations` | int | 1–100 | Max tool calls per conversation turn |
 | `context_window_tokens` | int | 4,096–1,000,000 | Context window size |
 | `model` | str | non-empty | LLM model to use |
 Other parameters (e.g. `workspace`, `provider_retry_mode`, `max_tool_result_chars`) can be set freely, as long as the value is JSON-safe.

 ## 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 a faster model.
 → my(action="set", key="model", value="fast-model")
 ```
 ### "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 /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"}],
    "session_id": "my-session"
  }'
 ```
 ## File Upload (JSON base64)
 Send images inline using the OpenAI multimodal content format:
 ```bash
 curl http://127.0.0.1:8900/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
      {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image"},
      {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "data:image/png;base64,iVBOR..."}}
    ]}]
  }'
 ```
 ## File Upload (multipart/form-data)
 Upload any supported file type (images, PDF, Word, Excel, PPT) via multipart:
 ```bash
 # Single file
 curl http://127.0.0.1:8900/v1/chat/completions \
  -F "message=Summarize this report" \
  -F "files=@report.docx"
 # Multiple files with session isolation
 curl http://127.0.0.1:8900/v1/chat/completions \
  -F "message=Compare these files" \
  -F "files=@chart.png" \
  -F "files=@data.xlsx" \
  -F "session_id=my-session"
 ```
 Supported file types:
 - **Images**: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP (sent to AI as base64 for vision analysis)
 - **Documents**: PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx) (text extracted and sent to AI)
 - **Text**: TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON, etc. (read directly)
 ## Python (`requests`)
 ```python
 import requests
 resp = requests.post(
    "http://127.0.0.1:8900/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)
 asyncio.run(main())

 ```bash
 nanobot onboard
 ```
 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"
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 **3. Chat**
 ```bash
 nanobot agent
 ```
 That's it! You have a working AI agent in 2 minutes.

        Improvements over the initial implementation:

          directly, so sessions persisted on disk but evicted from memory are
          still found.
        - Persist ``media`` file paths alongside ``content`` so the target

 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."

 - Act immediately on single-step tasks — never end a turn with just a plan or promise.
 - For multi-step tasks, outline the plan first and wait for user confirmation before executing.
 - Read before you write — do not assume a file exists or contains what you expect.

 - When information is missing, look it up with tools first. Only ask the user when tools cannot answer.

 A user-scheduled reminder should usually notify even when the response is brief or mostly repeats the original reminder.
 Suppress when the response is a routine status check with nothing new, a confirmation that everything is normal, or essentially empty.
 Also suppress when the response contains meta-reasoning about the task itself — descriptions of internal instructions, references to configuration files (e.g. HEARTBEAT.md, AWARENESS.md), or decision logic about whether to notify the user. The user should never see the agent reasoning about whether to speak.

    template leaks occasionally emitted by some models (notably Gemma 4's

    Covers:
      1. Well-formed `<think>...</think>` and `<thought>...</thought>` blocks.
      2. Streaming prefixes where the block is never closed.
      3. *Malformed* opening tags missing the `>` — e.g. `<think广场…`. The
         model sometimes emits the tag name directly followed by user-facing
         content with no delimiter; without this step the literal `<think`
         leaks into the rendered message.
      4. Harmony-style channel markers like `<channel|>` / `<|channel|>`
         **at the start of the text** — conservative to avoid eating
         explanatory prose that mentions these tokens.
      5. Orphan closing tags `</think>` / `</thought>` **at the very start
         or end of the text** only, for the same reason.
    Since this is also applied before persisting to history (memory.py),
    the edge-only stripping of (4) and (5) is deliberate: stripping those
    tokens mid-text would silently rewrite any message where a user or the
    assistant discusses the tokens themselves.
