Merge main (channel instances): keep both webhook suites as separate files

The instance route-split suite (from #2733) keeps src/webhook-server.test.ts;
this branch's raw-route suite moves to src/webhook-server-raw.test.ts —
incompatible lifecycle setups (fixed port + afterEach vs random port +
afterAll) make a single merged file wrong. webhook-server.ts auto-merge
verified: raw routes take dispatch priority, stop clears both maps.

+# Remove Atomic Chat
+
+Idempotent — safe to run even if some steps were never applied.
+
+## 1. Delete the copied files (both trees)
+
+```bash
+rm -f container/agent-runner/src/atomic-chat-mcp-stdio.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/atomic-chat-registration.test.ts \
+      src/atomic-chat-env.ts \
+      src/atomic-chat-wiring.test.ts
+```
+
+## 2. Unregister the MCP server
+
+In `container/agent-runner/src/index.ts`, remove the `atomic_chat: { … }` entry from the `mcpServers` object (leave `nanoclaw` and any other entries).
+
+## 3. Revert the host-side edits in `src/container-runner.ts`
+
+- Remove the `import { atomicChatEnvArgs } from './atomic-chat-env.js';` import.
+- Remove the `args.push(...atomicChatEnvArgs());` line that follows the `TZ` env line.
+- Restore the `container.stderr` logger to its single-line `log.debug(line, …)` form (remove the `[ATOMIC]` info-level branch).
+
+## 4. Remove env vars
+
+Remove the Atomic Chat block from `.env.example`, and the `ATOMIC_CHAT_*` lines from `.env` if you set them.
+
+## 5. Rebuild and restart
+
+Run from your NanoClaw project root:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build && ./container/build.sh
+source setup/lib/install-slug.sh
+
+# macOS
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/$(launchd_label)
+
+# Linux
+systemctl --user restart $(systemd_unit)
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After removal, confirm the tool is gone — in a wired agent, asking it to "list atomic chat models" should report no such tool, and the logs should show no `[ATOMIC]` lines after the last restart:
+
+```bash
+grep "\[ATOMIC\]" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -5

+# Remove Codex provider
+
+Idempotent — safe to run even if some steps were never applied. Reverses both the host (`src/providers/`) and container (`container/agent-runner/src/providers/`) trees, plus the Dockerfile CLI install.
+
+## 1. Delete the barrel import lines (both trees)
+
+Delete (do not comment out) the `import './codex.js';` line from each barrel:
+
+- `src/providers/index.ts`
+- `container/agent-runner/src/providers/index.ts`
+
+This unregisters the provider from both `listProviderContainerConfigNames()` (host) and `listProviderNames()` (container).
+
+## 2. Delete the copied files (both trees)
+
+```bash
+rm -f src/providers/codex.ts \
+      src/providers/codex-registration.test.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/codex.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/codex-app-server.ts \

+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/codex-registration.test.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/codex-dockerfile.test.ts
+```
+
+## 3. Revert the Dockerfile CLI install
+
+In `container/Dockerfile`, remove both Codex edits (skip whichever is already gone):
+
+**(a)** Delete the version ARG from the "Pin CLI versions" block:
+
+```dockerfile
+ARG CODEX_VERSION=0.124.0
+```
+
+**(b)** Delete the standalone Codex install layer:
+
+```dockerfile
+RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pnpm \
+    pnpm install -g "@openai/codex@${CODEX_VERSION}"
+```
+
+Leave the other per-CLI install layers (claude-code, agent-browser, vercel) untouched.
+
+## 4. Dependency
+
+Codex is a CLI binary installed via the Dockerfile — there is no agent-runner package dependency to uninstall. Step 3 removes the only install surface; no `bun remove` / `pnpm uninstall` is needed.
+
+## 5. Unset Codex env vars
+
+Remove any Codex-specific lines you added to `.env` (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, `CODEX_MODEL`) if no other integration uses them, then re-sync to the container:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env
+```
+
+Switch any group still on Codex back to the default provider — set `"provider": "claude"` in `groups/<folder>/container.json` and clear `agent_provider` on the group/session in the DB.
+
+## 6. Rebuild and restart
+
+Run from your NanoClaw project root:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build && ./container/build.sh
+source setup/lib/install-slug.sh
+
+# macOS
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/$(launchd_label)
+
+# Linux
+systemctl --user restart $(systemd_unit)
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After removal, the registration guards no longer apply (their files are gone). Confirm the provider is fully unwired:
+
+```bash
+grep -R "codex.js" src/providers/index.ts container/agent-runner/src/providers/index.ts   # no output
+grep "@openai/codex" container/Dockerfile                                                  # no output
+```
+
+In a wired agent, requesting `agent_provider = 'codex'` should fall back to the default provider since `codex` is no longer in the registry.

They go red the instant a barrel import line is deleted or drifts.

+The `@openai/codex` CLI binary is guarded by the Dockerfile structural test plus the container build (`./container/build.sh` fails if the install line is bad), **not** by the registration test — Codex is a CLI binary, not an importable package, so nothing imports it for the registration guard to trip on. To confirm the binary is actually present after the image rebuild, probe it inside a running container with `docker exec <container> codex --version`.
+
+The host-side provider also consumes core APIs (per-session `~/.codex` mount, env passthrough); that typed core-API consumption is guarded by `pnpm run build`.

+description: Add DeltaChat channel integration via @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server. Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge. Email-based messaging with end-to-end encryption.
+---
+
+# Add DeltaChat Channel
+
+The adapter drives the `@deltachat/stdio-rpc-server` JSON-RPC subprocess directly — pure Node.js against the DeltaChat core library. Messages are delivered over email with Autocrypt/OpenPGP encryption.
+
+## Install
+
+### Pre-flight (idempotent)
+
+Skip to **Credentials** if all of these are already in place:
+
+- `src/channels/deltachat.ts` exists
+- `src/channels/deltachat-registration.test.ts` exists
+- `src/channels/index.ts` contains `import './deltachat.js';`
+- `@deltachat/stdio-rpc-server` is listed in `package.json` dependencies
+
+Otherwise continue. Every step below is safe to re-run.
+
+### 1. Fetch the channels branch
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin channels
+```
+
+### 2. Copy the adapter and its registration test
+
+```bash
+git show origin/channels:src/channels/deltachat.ts                 > src/channels/deltachat.ts
+git show origin/channels:src/channels/deltachat-registration.test.ts > src/channels/deltachat-registration.test.ts
+```
+
+### 3. Append the self-registration import
+
+Append to `src/channels/index.ts` (skip if already present):
+
+```typescript
+import './deltachat.js';
+```
+
+### 4. Install the adapter package (pinned)
+
+```bash
+pnpm install @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server@2.49.0
+```
+
+### 5. Build and validate
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build
+pnpm exec vitest run src/channels/deltachat-registration.test.ts
+```
+
+Both must be clean before proceeding. `deltachat-registration.test.ts` is the one integration test: it imports the real channel barrel and asserts the registry contains `deltachat`. It goes red if the `import './deltachat.js';` line is deleted or drifts, if the barrel fails to evaluate (so the channel genuinely would not register), or if `@deltachat/stdio-rpc-server` isn't installed (the import throws) — so it also implicitly verifies the dependency from step 4. Importing is safe: deltachat instantiates the rpc client only in `setup()` (at host startup), never at import.
+
+End-to-end message delivery against a real email account is verified manually once the service is running — see Wiring and Troubleshooting.
+
+## Account Setup
+
+A dedicated email account is strongly recommended — it will accumulate DeltaChat-formatted messages and store encryption keys. Not all providers work well with DeltaChat; check https://providers.delta.chat/ before picking one.
+
+**Default security modes:** IMAP uses SSL/TLS (port 993), SMTP uses STARTTLS (port 587). Both are configurable via `.env` — see Credentials below.
+
+To find the correct hostnames for a domain:
+
+```bash
+node -e "require('dns').resolveMx('example.com', (e,r) => console.log(r))"
+```
+
+Most providers publish their IMAP/SMTP hostnames in their help docs under "manual setup" or "IMAP access."
+
+## Credentials
+
+Add to `.env`:
+
+```bash
+DC_EMAIL=bot@example.com
+DC_PASSWORD=your-app-password
+DC_IMAP_HOST=imap.example.com
+DC_IMAP_PORT=993
+DC_IMAP_SECURITY=1        # 1=SSL/TLS (default), 2=STARTTLS, 3=plain
+DC_SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
+DC_SMTP_PORT=587
+DC_SMTP_SECURITY=2        # 2=STARTTLS (default), 1=SSL/TLS, 3=plain
+```
+
+Security settings are applied on every startup, so changing them in `.env` and restarting takes effect without wiping the account.
+
+Sync to container: `mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env`
+
+### Optional settings
+
+The following are read from the process environment (not `.env`). To override them, add `Environment=` lines to the systemd service unit or your launchd plist:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `DC_ACCOUNT_DIR` | `dc-account` | Directory for DeltaChat account data (IMAP state, keys, blobs) |
+| `DC_DISPLAY_NAME` | `NanoClaw` | Bot display name shown in DeltaChat |
+| `DC_AVATAR_PATH` | _(none)_ | Absolute path to avatar image; set at startup only |
+
+The `/set-avatar` command (send an image with that caption) is the easiest way to set the avatar at runtime without modifying the service file. Only users with `owner` or global `admin` role can use it.
+
+### Restart
+
+Run from your NanoClaw project root:
+
+```bash
+source setup/lib/install-slug.sh
+
+# Linux
+systemctl --user restart $(systemd_unit)
+
+# macOS
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/$(launchd_label)
+```
+
+On first start the adapter configures the email account (IMAP/SMTP credentials, calls `configure()`). Subsequent starts skip straight to `startIo()`. Account data is stored in `dc-account/` in the project root (or your `DC_ACCOUNT_DIR`).
+
+## Wiring
+
+### DMs
+
+**DeltaChat contacts cannot be added by email alone** — to start a chat, the user must open the bot's invite link in their DeltaChat app or scan its QR code. This triggers the SecureJoin handshake.
+
+#### Step 1 — Get the invite link
+
+After the service starts, the adapter logs the invite URL and writes a QR SVG:
+
+```bash
+grep "invite link" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -1
+# url field contains the https://i.delta.chat/... invite link
+# also written to dc-account/invite-qr.svg (or $DC_ACCOUNT_DIR/invite-qr.svg)
+```
+
+The invite URL is stable (tied to the bot's email and encryption keys) so it stays valid across restarts.
+
+#### Step 2 — Add the bot in DeltaChat
+
+Two options for the user to connect:
+
+- **Link**: Copy the `https://i.delta.chat/...` URL and open it on the device running DeltaChat. The app recognises it and shows a "Start chat" prompt.
+- **QR code**: Open `dc-account/invite-qr.svg` in a browser or image viewer, display it on screen, and scan it from the DeltaChat app using the QR-scan button on the new-chat screen.
+
+After accepting, DeltaChat exchanges keys and creates the chat automatically.
+
+#### Step 3 — Wire the chat to an agent
+
+Once the first message arrives the router auto-creates a `messaging_groups` row. Look up the chat ID:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db \
+  "SELECT platform_id, name FROM messaging_groups WHERE channel_type='deltachat' AND is_group=0 ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 5"
+```
+
+Then run `/init-first-agent` — it creates the agent group, grants the user owner access, and wires the messaging group in one step:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/init-first-agent.ts \
+  --channel deltachat \
+  --user-id deltachat:user@example.com \
+  --platform-id <platform_id from above> \
+  --display-name "Your Name"
+```
+
+### Groups
+
+Add the bot email to a DeltaChat group. When any member sends a message, the router creates a `messaging_groups` row with `is_group = 1`. Run `/manage-channels` to wire it to an agent group.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+If you're in the middle of `/setup`, return to the setup flow now.
+
+Otherwise, run `/init-first-agent` to create an agent and wire it to your DeltaChat DM (see Wiring above), or `/manage-channels` to wire this channel to an existing agent group.
+
+## Channel Info
+
+- **type**: `deltachat`
+- **terminology**: DeltaChat calls them "chats" (1:1 DMs) and "groups"
+- **supports-threads**: no — DeltaChat has no thread model
+- **platform-id-format**: numeric chat ID as a string (e.g. `"12"`) — the DeltaChat core's internal chat identifier
+- **user-id-format**: `deltachat:{email}` — the contact's email address
+- **how-to-find-id**: Send a message from DeltaChat to the bot email, then query `messaging_groups` as shown above
+- **typical-use**: Personal assistant over DeltaChat DMs; small groups where participants use DeltaChat
+- **default-isolation**: One agent per bot identity. Multiple chats with the same operator can share an agent group; groups with other people should typically use `isolated` session mode
+
+### Features
+
+- File attachments — inbound and outbound; inbound waits up to 30 seconds for large-message download to complete
+- Invite link logged on every startup — URL + QR SVG written to `dc-account/invite-qr.svg`; see Wiring for the bootstrap flow
+- `/set-avatar` — send an image with this caption to change the bot's DeltaChat avatar (admin/owner only)
+- Connectivity watchdog — restarts IO if IMAP goes quiet for 20 minutes or connectivity drops below threshold for two consecutive 5-minute checks
+- Network nudge — `maybeNetwork()` called every 10 minutes to recover from prolonged idle
+
+Not supported: DeltaChat reactions, message editing/deletion, read receipts.
+
+### Connectivity model
+
+`isConnected()` returns `true` when the internal connectivity value is ≥ 3000:
+
+| Range | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| 1000–1999 | Not connected |
+| 2000–2999 | Connecting |
+| 3000–3999 | Working (IMAP fetching) |
+| ≥ 4000 | Fully connected (IMAP IDLE) |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Adapter not starting — credentials missing
+
+```bash
+grep "Channel credentials missing" logs/nanoclaw.log | grep deltachat
+```
+
+All six required vars (`DC_EMAIL`, `DC_PASSWORD`, `DC_IMAP_HOST`, `DC_IMAP_PORT`, `DC_SMTP_HOST`, `DC_SMTP_PORT`) must be present in `.env`.
+
+### Account configure fails
+
+```bash
+grep "DeltaChat" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -20
+```
+
+Common causes:
+- Wrong IMAP/SMTP hostnames — double-check provider docs
+- App password not generated — Gmail and some others require this when 2FA is enabled
+- Port/security mismatch — defaults are port 993 + SSL/TLS for IMAP and port 587 + STARTTLS for SMTP; override with `DC_IMAP_PORT`/`DC_IMAP_SECURITY` or `DC_SMTP_PORT`/`DC_SMTP_SECURITY` in `.env`
+
+### Provider uses SMTP port 465 (SSL/TLS) instead of 587
+
+Set `DC_SMTP_SECURITY=1` and `DC_SMTP_PORT=465` in `.env`, then restart.
+
+### Messages not arriving
+
+1. Check the service is running and the adapter started: `grep "Channel adapter started.*deltachat" logs/nanoclaw.log`
+2. Check connectivity: `grep "DeltaChat: IO started" logs/nanoclaw.log`
+3. Check the sender has been granted access — run `/init-first-agent` to create their user record and wire the chat
+4. Verify the messaging group is wired: `pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db "SELECT mg.platform_id, mga.agent_group_id FROM messaging_groups mg JOIN messaging_group_agents mga ON mg.id = mga.messaging_group_id WHERE mg.channel_type='deltachat'"`
+
+### Stale lock file after crash
+
+```bash
+rm -f dc-account/accounts.lock
+systemctl --user restart "$(. setup/lib/install-slug.sh && systemd_unit)"
+```
+
+### Bot not responding after restart
+
+The account is already configured — IO restarts automatically on service start. If the RPC subprocess is stuck, restart the service. Check for errors:
+
+```bash
+grep "DeltaChat" logs/nanoclaw.error.log | tail -20
+```
+
+### Messages received but agent not responding
+
+The messaging group exists but may not be wired to an agent group. Run:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db "SELECT id, platform_id, name FROM messaging_groups WHERE channel_type='deltachat'"
+```
+
+If the group has no entry in `messaging_group_agents`, wire it with `/manage-channels`.

 ## Phase 3: Wire Per-Agent-Group
 
-For each agent group, merge into `groups/<folder>/container.json`:
+For each agent group, persist two changes to the **central DB** (`data/v2.db`): the `mcpServers.calendar` entry and an `additionalMounts` entry for `.calendar-mcp`. Both flow through `materializeContainerJson` on every spawn, so editing `groups/<folder>/container.json` by hand does **not** stick — that file is regenerated from the DB.

-    }
-  ]
-}
+### Register the MCP server
+
+For each chosen `<group-id>` (use `ncl groups list` to enumerate):
+
+```bash
+ncl groups config add-mcp-server \
+  --id <group-id> \
+  --name calendar \
+  --command google-calendar-mcp \
+  --args '[]' \
+  --env '{"GOOGLE_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS":"/workspace/extra/.calendar-mcp/gcp-oauth.keys.json","GOOGLE_CALENDAR_MCP_TOKEN_PATH":"/workspace/extra/.calendar-mcp/credentials.json"}'
 ```
 
-Substitute `<user>` with `echo $HOME`. `containerPath` is relative (mount-security rejects absolute paths — additional mounts land at `/workspace/extra/<relative>`).
+Approval behaviour depends on where you run it: from inside an agent's container `ncl` write verbs are approval-gated (admin approves before it lands); from a host operator shell with full scope, it executes immediately. Either way, the response tells you which path it took.
 
-**Same-group-as-gmail tip:** if this group already has the gmail MCP + `.gmail-mcp` mount, **merge, don't replace** — both entries coexist in `mcpServers` and `additionalMounts`.
+### Add the `.calendar-mcp` mount
+
+There is no `ncl groups config add-mount` verb yet (tracked in [#2395](https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw/issues/2395)). Until that ships, edit the DB directly via the in-tree wrapper (`scripts/q.ts` — `setup/verify.ts:5` codifies that NanoClaw avoids depending on the `sqlite3` CLI binary, so don't shell out to it):
+
+```bash
+GROUP_ID='<group-id>'
+HOST_PATH="$HOME/.calendar-mcp"
+MOUNT=$(jq -cn --arg h "$HOST_PATH" '{hostPath:$h, containerPath:".calendar-mcp", readonly:false}')
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db "UPDATE container_configs \
+  SET additional_mounts = json_insert(additional_mounts, '\$[#]', json('$MOUNT')), \
+      updated_at = datetime('now') \
+  WHERE agent_group_id = '$GROUP_ID';"
+```
+
+Run from your NanoClaw project root (where `data/v2.db` lives). The `$[#]` placeholder is SQLite JSON1's append-to-end notation; it's `\$`-escaped so bash doesn't arithmetic-expand it before sqlite sees it. `updated_at` is ISO-string everywhere else in the schema, so use `datetime('now')` — not `strftime('%s','now')`, which would silently mix epoch ints into a column of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS strings.
+
+**Switch to `ncl groups config add-mount` once #2395 lands.** Update this skill at that time.
+
+`containerPath` is relative (mount-security rejects absolute paths — additional mounts land at `/workspace/extra/<relative>`).
+
+**Why this can't be `groups/<folder>/container.json`:** post-migration `014-container-configs`, `materializeContainerJson` in `src/container-config.ts` rewrites that file from the DB on every spawn. Anything hand-edited there is silently overwritten on next restart.
+
+**Same-group-as-gmail tip:** if this group already has the gmail MCP + `.gmail-mcp` mount, both coexist — `ncl groups config add-mcp-server` only updates the named entry, and `json_insert` appends to `additional_mounts` without disturbing existing entries.

Both flow through `materializeContainerJson` on every spawn, so editing `groups/<folder>/container.json` by hand does **not** stick — that file is regenerated from the DB.
 
-Merge these into the group's `container.json`:
+### List groups, pick which ones get Gmail
 
-```jsonc

-  "mcpServers": {
-    "gmail": {
-      "command": "gmail-mcp",

-  },
-  "additionalMounts": [
-    {
-      "hostPath": "/home/<user>/.gmail-mcp",
-      "containerPath": ".gmail-mcp",
-      "readonly": false
-    }
-  ]
-}
+```bash
+ncl groups list
 ```
 
-Substitute `<user>` with the host user's home (use `echo $HOME`, don't assume `~` will expand — `container-runner.ts` does expand `~` via `expandPath`, but an explicit absolute path is clearer and matches what `/manage-mounts` writes).
+### Register the MCP server
+
+For each chosen `<group-id>`:
+
+```bash
+ncl groups config add-mcp-server \
+  --id <group-id> \
+  --name gmail \
+  --command gmail-mcp \
+  --args '[]' \
+  --env '{"GMAIL_OAUTH_PATH":"/workspace/extra/.gmail-mcp/gcp-oauth.keys.json","GMAIL_CREDENTIALS_PATH":"/workspace/extra/.gmail-mcp/credentials.json"}'
+```
+
+Approval behaviour depends on where you run it: from inside an agent's container `ncl` write verbs are approval-gated (admin approves before it lands); from a host operator shell with full scope, it executes immediately. Either way, the response tells you which path it took.
+
+### Add the `.gmail-mcp` mount
+
+There is no `ncl groups config add-mount` verb yet (tracked in [#2395](https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw/issues/2395)). Until that ships, edit the DB directly via the in-tree wrapper (`scripts/q.ts` — `setup/verify.ts:5` codifies that NanoClaw avoids depending on the `sqlite3` CLI binary, so don't shell out to it):
+
+```bash
+GROUP_ID='<group-id>'
+HOST_PATH="$HOME/.gmail-mcp"
+MOUNT=$(jq -cn --arg h "$HOST_PATH" '{hostPath:$h, containerPath:".gmail-mcp", readonly:false}')
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db "UPDATE container_configs \
+  SET additional_mounts = json_insert(additional_mounts, '\$[#]', json('$MOUNT')), \
+      updated_at = datetime('now') \
+  WHERE agent_group_id = '$GROUP_ID';"
+```
+
+Run from your NanoClaw project root (where `data/v2.db` lives). The `$[#]` placeholder is SQLite JSON1's append-to-end notation; it's `\$`-escaped so bash doesn't arithmetic-expand it before sqlite sees it. `updated_at` is ISO-string everywhere else in the schema, so use `datetime('now')` — not `strftime('%s','now')`, which would silently mix epoch ints into a column of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS strings.
+
+**Switch to `ncl groups config add-mount` once #2395 lands.** Update this skill at that time.
 
 **Why the container path is relative:** `mount-security` rejects absolute `containerPath` values. Additional mounts are prefixed with `/workspace/extra/`, so `containerPath: ".gmail-mcp"` lands at `/workspace/extra/.gmail-mcp`. The MCP server's `GMAIL_OAUTH_PATH` / `GMAIL_CREDENTIALS_PATH` env vars point at that absolute location inside the container.
 
-## Phase 4: Build and Restart
+**Why this can't be `groups/<folder>/container.json`:** post-migration `014-container-configs`, `materializeContainerJson` in `src/container-config.ts` rewrites that file from the DB on every spawn. Anything hand-edited there is silently overwritten on next restart.
+
+## Phase 4: Build, Validate, Restart
 
 ```bash
 pnpm run build
-systemctl --user restart nanoclaw  # Linux
-# launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw   # macOS

+(cd container/agent-runner && bun test src/providers/gmail-dockerfile.test.ts src/providers/gmail-allow-pattern.test.ts)

+
+All must be clean before proceeding. `gmail-dockerfile.test.ts` confirms the package install is wired into the image; `gmail-allow-pattern.test.ts` confirms the allow-pattern derivation that exposes `mcp__gmail__*`. A failure means one drifted.

+---
+
+# Add Mnemon — Persistent Memory
+
+Installs [mnemon](https://github.com/mnemon-dev/mnemon) in the agent container image. On each container start, `mnemon setup` registers Claude Code hooks that surface relevant memory before the agent responds and store new insights after each turn. Memory is written to the per-agent-group `.claude/` mount and survives container restarts.
+
+## Provider Compatibility
+
+mnemon hooks fire only under `--target claude-code`. Use this skill on agent groups that run the default Claude provider (`AGENT_PROVIDER=claude`). Confirm the provider before applying:
+
+```bash
+grep AGENT_PROVIDER .env groups/*/container.json 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+If a group uses a different provider (e.g. `AGENT_PROVIDER=opencode`), it spawns its own process and never invokes the `claude` CLI, so the hooks registered by `mnemon setup` do not run for that group.
+
+## Phase 1: Pre-flight
+
+### Check if already applied
+
+```bash
+grep -q 'MNEMON_VERSION' container/Dockerfile && echo "Already applied" || echo "Not applied"
+```
+
+If already applied, re-run Phase 2 anyway — every step is idempotent and skips work that is already in place — then continue to Phase 3 (Verify).
+
+### Check latest mnemon version
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/mnemon-dev/mnemon/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name"'
+```
+
+Note the version (e.g. `v0.1.1`) — use it as `MNEMON_VERSION` in the next step.
+
+## Phase 2: Apply Changes
+
+### 1. Dockerfile — install mnemon binary
+
+Insert the mnemon block immediately above the `# ---- Bun runtime` section of `container/Dockerfile` (skip if `grep -q 'MNEMON_VERSION' container/Dockerfile` already matches):
+
+```dockerfile
+# ---- mnemon — persistent agent memory ----------------------------------------
+ARG MNEMON_VERSION=0.1.1
+RUN ARCH=$(dpkg --print-architecture) && \
+    curl -fsSL "https://github.com/mnemon-dev/mnemon/releases/download/v${MNEMON_VERSION}/mnemon_${MNEMON_VERSION}_linux_${ARCH}.tar.gz" \
+    | tar -xz -C /usr/local/bin mnemon && \
+    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mnemon
+
+ENV MNEMON_DATA_DIR=/home/node/.claude/mnemon
+```
+
+`MNEMON_DATA_DIR` points into the per-agent-group `.claude/` mount, so memory persists across container restarts.
+
+### 2. Entrypoint — run mnemon setup on each container start
+
+`mnemon setup` is idempotent. Run it once per `container/entrypoint.sh`. First check whether the line is already present:
+
+```bash
+grep -q 'mnemon setup' container/entrypoint.sh && echo "Already wired" || echo "Wire it"
+```
+
+If it prints `Wire it`, add the setup call right after `set -e`, before the `cat` that captures stdin, so the result looks like:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# NanoClaw agent container entrypoint.
+#
+# ...existing header comment...
+
+set -e
+
+mnemon setup --target claude-code --yes --global >/dev/stderr 2>&1
+
+cat > /tmp/input.json
+
+exec bun run /app/src/index.ts < /tmp/input.json
+```
+
+`>/dev/stderr 2>&1` routes all mnemon output to stderr (docker logs) so it doesn't interfere with the JSON stdin handshake between host and agent-runner.
+
+### 3. Copy the integration tests
+
+Both reach-ins are into container build/runtime files that aren't importable or typed (a GitHub-release binary in the Dockerfile, a shell line in the entrypoint), so structural tests guard them. Copy them into the host test tree:
+
+```bash
+cp .claude/skills/add-mnemon/mnemon-dockerfile.test.ts src/mnemon-dockerfile.test.ts
+cp .claude/skills/add-mnemon/mnemon-entrypoint.test.ts src/mnemon-entrypoint.test.ts
+pnpm exec vitest run src/mnemon-dockerfile.test.ts src/mnemon-entrypoint.test.ts
+```
+
+`mnemon-dockerfile.test.ts` asserts the `MNEMON_VERSION` ARG and `MNEMON_DATA_DIR` ENV are present (red if the install layer is dropped on an upgrade). `mnemon-entrypoint.test.ts` asserts the entrypoint invokes `mnemon setup --target claude-code` (red if the wiring is removed).
+
+### 4. Rebuild and smoke-test the image
+
+```bash
+./container/build.sh
+docker run --rm --entrypoint mnemon nanoclaw-agent:latest --version
+```
+
+## Phase 3: Restart and Verify
+
+### Restart the service
+
+Run from your NanoClaw project root:
+
+```bash
+source setup/lib/install-slug.sh
+systemctl --user restart $(systemd_unit)              # Linux
+# launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/$(launchd_label)   # macOS
+```
+
+### Confirm mnemon hooks are registered
+
+After the next container starts, check that setup ran:
+
+```bash
+docker logs $(docker ps --filter name=nanoclaw-v2 --format '{{.Names}}' | head -1) 2>&1 | grep -i mnemon
+```
+
+Then inspect the hooks inside the running container:
+
+```bash
+docker exec $(docker ps --filter name=nanoclaw-v2 --format '{{.Names}}' | head -1) \
+  cat /home/node/.claude/settings.json | grep -A5 mnemon
+```
+
+### Test memory recall
+
+Have a conversation with the agent, then start a new session and reference something from the earlier one. Mnemon should surface the relevant context automatically without you restating it.
+
+## Memory Storage
+
+Mnemon writes to `/home/node/.claude/mnemon/` inside the container, which maps to the per-agent-group `.claude/` directory on the host. To find the exact host path:
+
+```bash
+docker inspect $(docker ps --filter name=nanoclaw-v2 --format '{{.Names}}' | head -1) \
+  --format '{{range .Mounts}}{{if eq .Destination "/home/node/.claude"}}{{.Source}}{{end}}{{end}}'
+```
+
+To reset all memory for an agent, stop the container and delete the `mnemon/` subdirectory from that host path.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `mnemon: command not found` in container
+
+The image wasn't rebuilt after adding the Dockerfile layer. Run `./container/build.sh` and restart.
+
+### Memory not persisting across restarts
+
+Verify `MNEMON_DATA_DIR` resolves to a mounted path (not an in-container ephemeral directory):
+
+```bash
+docker exec <container> sh -c 'ls -la $MNEMON_DATA_DIR'
+```
+
+If the directory is empty after conversations, the mount is missing or the path is wrong. Check the host mount with the `docker inspect` command above.
+
+### Agent not using past memory
+
+`mnemon setup` writes hooks into `/home/node/.claude/settings.json`. Verify:
+
+```bash
+docker exec <container> cat /home/node/.claude/settings.json
+```
+
+If the hooks are absent, `mnemon setup` may have failed silently. Check container startup logs for errors from mnemon.
+
+### Setup fails at container start
+
+Run setup manually inside a running container to see the full error:
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it <container> mnemon setup --target claude-code --yes --global
+```

 # Add Ollama Integration

+This skill adds a stdio-based MCP server that exposes local [Ollama](https://ollama.com) models as tools for the container agent. Claude remains the orchestrator but can offload work to local models served by the Ollama daemon on the host, and can optionally manage the model library directly. Ollama runs locally and is keyless — there are no credentials to thread; the only configuration is the daemon's base URL.
 
 Core tools (always available):
-- `ollama_list_models` — list installed Ollama models with name, size, and family
-- `ollama_generate` — send a prompt to a specified model and return the response
+- `ollama_list_models` — list installed models with name, size, and family (`GET /api/tags`)
+- `ollama_generate` — send a prompt to a specified model and return the response (`POST /api/generate`)
 
 Management tools (opt-in via `OLLAMA_ADMIN_TOOLS=true`):
-- `ollama_pull_model` — pull (download) a model from the Ollama registry
-- `ollama_delete_model` — delete a locally installed model to free disk space
-- `ollama_show_model` — show model details: modelfile, parameters, and architecture info
-- `ollama_list_running` — list models currently loaded in memory with memory usage and processor type
+- `ollama_pull_model` — pull (download) a model from the Ollama registry (`POST /api/pull`)
+- `ollama_delete_model` — delete a locally installed model to free disk space (`DELETE /api/delete`)

+The skill ships the MCP server source (and its tests) in this folder and copies them into the agent-runner tree at install time, then registers the server in `index.ts` and forwards host env vars in `container-runner.ts`. Registering the server is enough to expose its tools — the agent's allow-pattern (`mcp__ollama__*`) is derived from the registered server name.

 ## Phase 2: Apply Code Changes
 
-### Ensure upstream remote
+### Copy the skill's source and tests into both trees
+
+This skill reaches into both the container (Bun) tree and the host (Node) tree, so its
+files go into both, alongside the integration points they cover.
 
 ```bash
-git remote -v
+S=.claude/skills/add-ollama-tool
+# Container (Bun) tree — the MCP server and the registration wiring test
+cp $S/ollama-mcp-stdio.ts       container/agent-runner/src/ollama-mcp-stdio.ts
+cp $S/ollama-registration.test.ts container/agent-runner/src/ollama-registration.test.ts
+# Host (Node) tree — the env-forwarding helper and the wiring test
+cp $S/ollama-env.ts             src/ollama-env.ts
+cp $S/ollama-wiring.test.ts     src/ollama-wiring.test.ts
 ```
 
-If `upstream` is missing, add it:
+### Register the MCP server in the agent-runner
 
-```bash
-git remote add upstream https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw.git
+Edit `container/agent-runner/src/index.ts`. Find the `mcpServers` object that currently looks like this:
+
+```ts
+  const mcpServers: Record<string, { command: string; args: string[]; env: Record<string, string> }> = {
+    nanoclaw: {
+      command: 'bun',
+      args: ['run', mcpServerPath],
+      env: {},
+    },
+  };
 ```
 
-### Merge the skill branch
+Add an `ollama` entry alongside `nanoclaw`:
 
-```bash
-git fetch upstream skill/ollama-tool
-git merge upstream/skill/ollama-tool
+```ts
+  const mcpServers: Record<string, { command: string; args: string[]; env: Record<string, string> }> = {
+    nanoclaw: {
+      command: 'bun',
+      args: ['run', mcpServerPath],
+      env: {},
+    },
+    ollama: {
+      command: 'bun',
+      args: ['run', path.join(__dirname, 'ollama-mcp-stdio.ts')],
+      env: {
+        ...(process.env.OLLAMA_HOST ? { OLLAMA_HOST: process.env.OLLAMA_HOST } : {}),
+        ...(process.env.OLLAMA_ADMIN_TOOLS ? { OLLAMA_ADMIN_TOOLS: process.env.OLLAMA_ADMIN_TOOLS } : {}),
+      },
+    },
+  };
 ```
 
-This merges in:
-- `container/agent-runner/src/ollama-mcp-stdio.ts` (Ollama MCP server)
-- `scripts/ollama-watch.sh` (macOS notification watcher)
-- Ollama MCP config in `container/agent-runner/src/index.ts` (allowedTools + mcpServers)
-- `[OLLAMA]` log surfacing in `src/container-runner.ts`
-- `OLLAMA_HOST` in `.env.example`
+`ollama-registration.test.ts` asserts this entry is present and points at the server module — the tool only appears to the agent if it is registered here.
 
-If the merge reports conflicts, resolve them by reading the conflicted files and understanding the intent of both sides.
+### Forward host env vars into the container
 
-### Copy to per-group agent-runner
+The container receives `TZ` and OneCLI networking vars by default; any other host env
+var the MCP subprocess needs must be forwarded explicitly. The forwarding logic lives in
+the copied `src/ollama-env.ts` (`ollamaEnvArgs()`) — `OLLAMA_HOST` (the daemon base URL)
+and `OLLAMA_ADMIN_TOOLS` (the library-management opt-in flag). Both are configuration, not
+credentials, so they are passed through plainly; Ollama itself is local and keyless.
 
-Existing groups have a cached copy of the agent-runner source. Copy the new files:
+Import it in `src/container-runner.ts` (alongside the other local imports):
+
+```ts
+import { ollamaEnvArgs } from './ollama-env.js';
+```
+
+Then, in `buildContainerArgs`, find the `TZ` env line and add the call right after it:
+
+```ts
+  args.push('-e', `TZ=${TIMEZONE}`);
+  args.push(...ollamaEnvArgs());
+```
+
+`ollama-wiring.test.ts` asserts this `args.push(...ollamaEnvArgs())` call exists inside `buildContainerArgs`.
+
+### Surface `[OLLAMA]` log lines at info level
+
+> **Shared block.** This rewrites the `container.stderr` logger, which other local-model tools (e.g. `add-atomic-chat-tool` for `[ATOMIC]`) also edit to surface their own prefix. Touch only the `[OLLAMA]` branch and leave the rest of the block intact, so the edits coexist and removal restores it cleanly.
+
+In the same file, find the stderr logger:
+
+```ts
+  container.stderr?.on('data', (data) => {
+    for (const line of data.toString().trim().split('\n')) {
+      if (line) log.debug(line, { container: agentGroup.folder });
+    }
+  });
+```
+
+Replace it with:
+
+```ts
+  container.stderr?.on('data', (data) => {
+    for (const line of data.toString().trim().split('\n')) {
+      if (!line) continue;
+      if (line.includes('[OLLAMA]')) {
+        log.info(line, { container: agentGroup.folder });
+      } else {
+        log.debug(line, { container: agentGroup.folder });
+      }
+    }
+  });
+```
+
+If `add-atomic-chat-tool` (or another local-model tool) has already turned this into a
+multi-branch block, just add an `else if (line.includes('[OLLAMA]'))` branch instead of
+replacing it.
+
+### Add env-var stubs to `.env.example`
+
+Append to `.env.example`:
 
 ```bash
-for dir in data/sessions/*/agent-runner-src; do
-  cp container/agent-runner/src/ollama-mcp-stdio.ts "$dir/"
-  cp container/agent-runner/src/index.ts "$dir/"

+The agent is looking for an `ollama` CLI inside the container instead of using the MCP tools. This means:

 3. The container wasn't rebuilt — run `./container/build.sh`
 
 ### "Failed to connect to Ollama"
 
-1. Verify Ollama is running: `ollama list`
-2. Check Docker can reach the host: `docker run --rm curlimages/curl curl -s http://host.docker.internal:11434/api/tags`
-3. If using a custom host, check `OLLAMA_HOST` in `.env`

+4. If using a custom host, check `OLLAMA_HOST` in `.env`
+
+### `model not found` / 404 on generate
+
+The model name passed to `ollama_generate` must exactly match one of the names returned by `ollama_list_models` (including any `:tag` suffix, e.g. `gemma3:1b`). Ask the agent to list models first, then pick one from that list.
+
+### `ollama_pull_model` times out on large models
+
+Large models (7B+) can take several minutes. The tool uses `stream: false` so it blocks until the pull completes — this is intentional. For very large pulls, use the host CLI directly: `ollama pull <model>`.
+
+### Management tools not showing up
+
+Ensure `OLLAMA_ADMIN_TOOLS=true` is set in `.env` and the service was restarted after adding it. The management tools are only registered when that flag is present in the container's environment.
+
+### Slow first response
+
+Ollama lazy-loads models into memory on first use. The initial call may take longer while the model warms up. Subsequent calls against the same model are fast.
 
 ### Agent doesn't use Ollama tools
 
 The agent may not know about the tools. Try being explicit: "use the ollama_generate tool with gemma3:1b to answer: ..."

+# Remove OpenCode provider
+
+Idempotent — safe to run even if some steps were never applied. Reverses both the host (`src/providers/`) and container (`container/agent-runner/src/providers/`) trees, the agent-runner dependency, and the Dockerfile CLI install.
+
+## 1. Delete the barrel import lines (both trees)
+
+Delete (do not comment out) the `import './opencode.js';` line from each barrel:
+
+- `src/providers/index.ts`
+- `container/agent-runner/src/providers/index.ts`
+
+This unregisters the provider from both `listProviderContainerConfigNames()` (host) and `listProviderNames()` (container).
+
+## 2. Delete the copied files (both trees)
+
+```bash
+rm -f src/providers/opencode.ts \
+      src/providers/opencode-registration.test.ts \
+      src/opencode-dockerfile.test.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/opencode.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/mcp-to-opencode.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/mcp-to-opencode.test.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/opencode.factory.test.ts \
+      container/agent-runner/src/providers/opencode-registration.test.ts
+```
+
+## 3. Remove the agent-runner dependency
+
+`@opencode-ai/sdk` is an importable package in the container tree (agent-runner is a Bun package, not a pnpm workspace — use `bun remove`):
+
+```bash
+cd container/agent-runner && bun remove @opencode-ai/sdk && cd -
+```
+
+## 4. Revert the Dockerfile CLI install
+
+In `container/Dockerfile`, remove both OpenCode edits (skip whichever is already gone):
+
+**(a)** Delete the version ARG from the "Pin CLI versions" block:
+
+```dockerfile
+ARG OPENCODE_VERSION=1.4.17
+```
+
+**(b)** Delete the standalone OpenCode install layer:
+
+```dockerfile
+RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pnpm \
+    pnpm install -g "opencode-ai@${OPENCODE_VERSION}"
+```
+
+Leave the other per-CLI install layers (claude-code, agent-browser, vercel) untouched.
+
+## 5. Clean up per-group overlays
+
+Any group that had the OpenCode files copied into its live source overlay still carries them — remove the OpenCode-specific files from each overlay (the barrel `index.ts` is re-synced from the cleaned tree, not deleted):
+
+```bash
+for overlay in data/v2-sessions/*/agent-runner-src/providers/; do
+  [ -d "$overlay" ] || continue
+  rm -f "$overlay/opencode.ts" "$overlay/mcp-to-opencode.ts"
+  [ -f container/agent-runner/src/providers/index.ts ] && \
+    cp container/agent-runner/src/providers/index.ts "$overlay"
+  echo "Cleaned: $overlay"
+done
+```
+
+## 6. Unset OpenCode env vars
+
+Remove any OpenCode-specific lines you added to `.env` (`OPENCODE_PROVIDER`, `OPENCODE_MODEL`, `OPENCODE_SMALL_MODEL`, and `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` if no other integration uses it) if no other integration needs them, then re-sync to the container:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env
+```
+
+Switch any group still on OpenCode back to the default provider — set `"provider": "claude"` in `groups/<folder>/container.json` and clear `agent_provider` on the group/session in the DB.
+
+## 7. Rebuild and restart
+
+Run from your NanoClaw project root:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build && ./container/build.sh
+source setup/lib/install-slug.sh
+
+# macOS
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/$(launchd_label)
+
+# Linux
+systemctl --user restart $(systemd_unit)
+```
+
+> If the rebuild still reports OpenCode after these steps, the buildkit COPY cache may be stale. Prune the builder and rebuild: `docker builder prune -f && ./container/build.sh`.
+
+## Verification
+
+After removal, the registration guards no longer apply (their files are gone). Confirm the provider is fully unwired:
+
+```bash
+grep -R "opencode.js" src/providers/index.ts container/agent-runner/src/providers/index.ts   # no output
+grep "@opencode-ai/sdk" container/agent-runner/package.json                                   # no output
+grep "opencode-ai" container/Dockerfile                                                        # no output

+In a wired agent, requesting `agent_provider = 'opencode'` should fall back to the default provider since `opencode` is no longer in the registry.

 ```bash

+### 7. Build and validate
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build                                                    # host

+./container/build.sh                                              # agent image
+```
+
+All four must be clean before proceeding. Each guards a distinct integration point:
+
+- **`src/providers/opencode-registration.test.ts`** (host, vitest) imports the real host barrel (`./index.js` → `listProviderContainerConfigNames`) and asserts `opencode` is present. It goes red if the `import './opencode.js';` line in `src/providers/index.ts` is deleted or drifts, or if that barrel fails to evaluate.
+- **`container/agent-runner/src/providers/opencode-registration.test.ts`** (container, bun:test) imports the real container barrel (`./index.js` → `listProviderNames`) and asserts `opencode` is present. It goes red if the `import './opencode.js';` line in `container/agent-runner/src/providers/index.ts` is deleted or drifts. Because the barrel is imported unmocked, it also pulls in `opencode.ts`, which imports **`@opencode-ai/sdk`** — so this test implicitly guards the step-4 dependency too: if the package isn't installed, the import throws and the test goes red.
+- **`src/opencode-dockerfile.test.ts`** parses `container/Dockerfile` and asserts both the `ARG OPENCODE_VERSION=...` (rejecting `latest`) and the `pnpm install -g "opencode-ai@${OPENCODE_VERSION}"` line are present. The `opencode-ai` CLI binary is not importable, so it is guarded by this structural test plus the container build — not the registration test.
+- **`pnpm run build`** type-checks the host provider's consumption of the host-side container-config registry; the container typecheck does the same for the container provider against the agent-runner core APIs.
+
+The pre-existing `opencode.factory.test.ts` imports `opencode.ts` directly and self-registers, so it stays green even if a barrel import is removed — it is a unit test of `createProvider('opencode')`, not the registration guard. Keep it; it adds factory coverage but does not stand in for the registration tests above.
+
 > **Build cache gotcha:** The container buildkit caches COPY steps aggressively. If provider files were already present in the build context before, the new files may not be picked up. If you see "Unknown provider: opencode" after the build, prune the builder and rebuild:
 > ```bash
 > docker builder prune -f && ./container/build.sh

-# Add Parallel AI Integration
-
-Adds Parallel AI MCP integration to NanoClaw for advanced web research capabilities.
-
-## What This Adds
-
-- **Quick Search** - Fast web lookups using Parallel Search API (free to use)
-- **Deep Research** - Comprehensive analysis using Parallel Task API (asks permission)
-- **Non-blocking Design** - Uses NanoClaw scheduler for result polling (no container blocking)
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-User must have:
-1. Parallel AI API key from https://platform.parallel.ai
-2. NanoClaw already set up and running
-3. Docker installed and running
-
-## Implementation Steps
-
-Run all steps automatically. Only pause for user input when explicitly needed.
-
-### 1. Get Parallel AI API Key
-
-Use `AskUserQuestion: Do you have a Parallel AI API key, or should I help you get one?`
-
-**If they have one:**
-Collect it now.
-
-**If they need one:**
-Tell them:
-> 1. Go to https://platform.parallel.ai
-> 2. Sign up or log in
-> 3. Navigate to API Keys section
-> 4. Create a new API key
-> 5. Copy the key and paste it here
-
-Wait for the API key.
-
-### 2. Add API Key to Environment
-
-Add `PARALLEL_API_KEY` to `.env`:
-
-```bash
-# Check if .env exists, create if not
-if [ ! -f .env ]; then
-    touch .env
-fi
-
-# Add PARALLEL_API_KEY if not already present
-if ! grep -q "PARALLEL_API_KEY=" .env; then
-    echo "PARALLEL_API_KEY=${API_KEY_FROM_USER}" >> .env
-    echo "✓ Added PARALLEL_API_KEY to .env"
-else
-    # Update existing key
-    sed -i.bak "s/^PARALLEL_API_KEY=.*/PARALLEL_API_KEY=${API_KEY_FROM_USER}/" .env
-    echo "✓ Updated PARALLEL_API_KEY in .env"
-fi
-```
-
-Verify:
-```bash
-grep "PARALLEL_API_KEY" .env | head -c 50
-```
-
-### 3. Update Container Runner
-
-Add `PARALLEL_API_KEY` to allowed environment variables in `src/container-runner.ts`:
-
-Find the line:
-```typescript
-const allowedVars = ['CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN', 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'];
-```
-
-Replace with:
-```typescript
-const allowedVars = ['CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN', 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY', 'PARALLEL_API_KEY'];
-```
-
-### 4. Configure MCP Servers in Agent Runner
-
-Update `container/agent-runner/src/index.ts`:
-
-Find the section where `mcpServers` is configured (around line 237-252):
-```typescript
-const mcpServers: Record<string, any> = {
-  nanoclaw: ipcMcp
-};
-```
-
-Add Parallel AI MCP servers after the nanoclaw server:
-```typescript
-const mcpServers: Record<string, any> = {
-  nanoclaw: ipcMcp
-};
-
-// Add Parallel AI MCP servers if API key is available
-const parallelApiKey = process.env.PARALLEL_API_KEY;
-if (parallelApiKey) {
-  mcpServers['parallel-search'] = {
-    type: 'http',  // REQUIRED: Must specify type for HTTP MCP servers
-    url: 'https://search-mcp.parallel.ai/mcp',
-    headers: {
-      'Authorization': `Bearer ${parallelApiKey}`
-    }
-  };
-  mcpServers['parallel-task'] = {
-    type: 'http',  // REQUIRED: Must specify type for HTTP MCP servers  
-    url: 'https://task-mcp.parallel.ai/mcp',
-    headers: {
-      'Authorization': `Bearer ${parallelApiKey}`
-    }
-  };
-  log('Parallel AI MCP servers configured');
-} else {
-  log('PARALLEL_API_KEY not set, skipping Parallel AI integration');
-}
-```
-
-Also update the `allowedTools` array to include Parallel MCP tools (around line 242-248):
-```typescript
-allowedTools: [
-  'Bash',
-  'Read', 'Write', 'Edit', 'Glob', 'Grep',
-  'WebSearch', 'WebFetch',
-  'mcp__nanoclaw__*',
-  'mcp__parallel-search__*',
-  'mcp__parallel-task__*'
-],
-```
-
-### 5. Add Usage Instructions to CLAUDE.md
-
-Add Parallel AI usage instructions to `groups/main/CLAUDE.md`:
-
-Find the "## What You Can Do" section and add after the existing bullet points:
-```markdown
-- Use Parallel AI for web research and deep learning tasks
-```
-
-Then add a new section after "## What You Can Do":
-```markdown
-## Web Research Tools
-
-You have access to two Parallel AI research tools:
-
-### Quick Web Search (`mcp__parallel-search__search`)
-**When to use:** Freely use for factual lookups, current events, definitions, recent information, or verifying facts.
-
-**Examples:**
-- "Who invented the transistor?"
-- "What's the latest news about quantum computing?"
-- "When was the UN founded?"
-- "What are the top programming languages in 2026?"
-
-**Speed:** Fast (2-5 seconds)
-**Cost:** Low
-**Permission:** Not needed - use whenever it helps answer the question
-
-### Deep Research (`mcp__parallel-task__create_task_run`)
-**When to use:** Comprehensive analysis, learning about complex topics, comparing concepts, historical overviews, or structured research.
-
-**Examples:**
-- "Explain the development of quantum mechanics from 1900-1930"
-- "Compare the literary styles of Hemingway and Faulkner"
-- "Research the evolution of jazz from bebop to fusion"
-- "Analyze the causes of the French Revolution"
-
-**Speed:** Slower (1-20 minutes depending on depth)
-**Cost:** Higher (varies by processor tier)
-**Permission:** ALWAYS use `AskUserQuestion` before using this tool
-
-**How to ask permission:**
-```
-AskUserQuestion: I can do deep research on [topic] using Parallel's Task API. This will take 2-5 minutes and provide comprehensive analysis with citations. Should I proceed?
-```
-
-**After permission - DO NOT BLOCK! Use scheduler instead:**
-
-1. Create the task using `mcp__parallel-task__create_task_run`
-2. Get the `run_id` from the response
-3. Create a polling scheduled task using `mcp__nanoclaw__schedule_task`:
-   ```
-   Prompt: "Check Parallel AI task run [run_id] and send results when ready.
-
-   1. Use the Parallel Task MCP to check the task status
-   2. If status is 'completed', extract the results
-   3. Send results to user with mcp__nanoclaw__send_message
-   4. Use mcp__nanoclaw__complete_scheduled_task to mark this task as done
-
-   If status is still 'running' or 'pending', do nothing (task will run again in 30s).
-   If status is 'failed', send error message and complete the task."
-
-   Schedule: interval every 30 seconds
-   Context mode: isolated
-   ```
-4. Send acknowledgment with tracking link
-5. Exit immediately - scheduler handles the rest
-
-### Choosing Between Them
-
-**Use Search when:**
-- Question needs a quick fact or recent information
-- Simple definition or clarification
-- Verifying specific details
-- Current events or news
-
-**Use Deep Research (with permission) when:**
-- User wants to learn about a complex topic
-- Question requires analysis or comparison
-- Historical context or evolution of concepts
-- Structured, comprehensive understanding needed
-- User explicitly asks to "research" or "explain in depth"
-
-**Default behavior:** Prefer search for most questions. Only suggest deep research when the topic genuinely requires comprehensive analysis.
-```
-
-### 6. Rebuild Container
-
-Build the container with updated agent runner:
-
-```bash
-./container/build.sh
-```
-
-Verify the build:
-```bash
-echo '{}' | docker run -i --entrypoint /bin/echo nanoclaw-agent:latest "Container OK"
-```
-
-### 7. Restart Service
-
-Rebuild the main app and restart:
-
-```bash
-pnpm run build
-launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw  # macOS
-# Linux: systemctl --user restart nanoclaw
-```
-
-Wait 3 seconds for service to start, then verify:
-```bash
-sleep 3
-launchctl list | grep nanoclaw  # macOS
-# Linux: systemctl --user status nanoclaw
-```
-
-### 8. Test Integration
-
-Tell the user to test:
-> Send a message to your assistant: `@[YourAssistantName] what's the latest news about AI?`
->
-> The assistant should use Parallel Search API to find current information.
->
-> Then try: `@[YourAssistantName] can you research the history of artificial intelligence?`
->
-> The assistant should ask for permission before using the Task API.
-
-Check logs to verify MCP servers loaded:
-```bash
-tail -20 logs/nanoclaw.log
-```
-
-Look for: `Parallel AI MCP servers configured`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Container hangs or times out:**
-- Check that `type: 'http'` is specified in MCP server config
-- Verify API key is correct in .env
-- Check container logs: `cat groups/main/logs/container-*.log | tail -50`
-
-**MCP servers not loading:**
-- Ensure PARALLEL_API_KEY is in .env
-- Verify container-runner.ts includes PARALLEL_API_KEY in allowedVars
-- Check agent-runner logs for "Parallel AI MCP servers configured" message
-
-**Task polling not working:**
-- Verify scheduled task was created: `sqlite3 store/messages.db "SELECT * FROM scheduled_tasks"`
-- Check task runs: `tail -f logs/nanoclaw.log | grep "scheduled task"`
-- Ensure task prompt includes proper Parallel MCP tool names
-
-## Uninstalling
-
-To remove Parallel AI integration:
-
-1. Remove from .env: `sed -i.bak '/PARALLEL_API_KEY/d' .env`
-2. Revert changes to container-runner.ts and agent-runner/src/index.ts
-3. Remove Web Research Tools section from groups/main/CLAUDE.md
-4. Rebuild: `./container/build.sh && pnpm run build`
-5. Restart: `launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw` (macOS) or `systemctl --user restart nanoclaw` (Linux)

+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db \

+  "UPDATE container_configs SET additional_mounts = '<filtered-json>' WHERE agent_group_id = '<group-id>'"
+```
+
+If no rtk entry is present, leave the array as-is.
+
+## 2. Remove the PreToolUse hook from settings.json
+
+Delete the rtk Bash hook entry (not comment it out). This leaves any other `PreToolUse` entries intact and is safe to re-run:
+
+```bash
+SETTINGS="data/v2-sessions/<group-id>/.claude-shared/settings.json"
+
+jq '.hooks.PreToolUse = ((.hooks.PreToolUse // [])
+      | map(select((.hooks // []) | any(.command == "rtk hook claude") | not)))' \
+  "$SETTINGS" > /tmp/rtk-settings.json && mv /tmp/rtk-settings.json "$SETTINGS"
+```
+
+## 3. Restart the container
+
+```bash

+```
+
+## 4. Remove the host binary (optional)

+description: Install rtk token-compression proxy into agent containers. Routes Bash tool calls through rtk for 60–90% token savings on dev commands (git, cargo, pytest, docker, kubectl, etc.).
+---
+
+# Add rtk
+
+Install [rtk](https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk) — a CLI proxy delivering 60–90% token savings on common dev commands (git, cargo, pytest, docker, kubectl, etc.) — and wire it transparently into agent containers via the Claude Code `PreToolUse` hook.
+
+## What this sets up
+
+- `rtk` binary at `~/.local/bin/rtk` on the host
+- `~/.local/bin/rtk` mounted read-only at `/usr/local/bin/rtk` inside the target agent group's containers
+- `PreToolUse` hook in the agent group's `settings.json` so every Bash call is automatically filtered through rtk — no CLAUDE.md instructions needed
+
+## Step 1 — Install rtk on the host
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtk-ai/rtk/refs/heads/master/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+If the script put the binary elsewhere, move it:
+
+```bash
+find ~/.local ~/.cargo/bin ~/bin -name rtk 2>/dev/null
+mv "$(which rtk 2>/dev/null)" ~/.local/bin/rtk
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+~/.local/bin/rtk --version
+chmod +x ~/.local/bin/rtk   # if needed
+```
+
+## Step 2 — Identify the target agent group
+
+```bash
+ncl groups list
+```
+
+Note the group ID (e.g. `ag-1776342942165-ptgddd`). Repeat Steps 3–5 for each group.
+
+## Step 3 — Mount rtk into the container config
+
+`additional_mounts` is a JSON array column on `container_configs`. Read the current value, merge in the rtk entry, and write the merged array back.
+
+Read current mounts first:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db \
+  "SELECT additional_mounts FROM container_configs WHERE agent_group_id = '<group-id>'"
+```
+
+Build the merged array: keep every existing entry, drop any entry whose `containerPath` is `/usr/local/bin/rtk` (so re-running replaces rather than duplicates), then add the rtk entry:
+
+```json
+{"hostPath":"/home/<user>/.local/bin/rtk","containerPath":"/usr/local/bin/rtk","readonly":true}
+```
+
+Write the merged array back:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db \
+  "UPDATE container_configs SET additional_mounts = '<merged-json>' WHERE agent_group_id = '<group-id>'"
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db \
+  "SELECT additional_mounts FROM container_configs WHERE agent_group_id = '<group-id>'"
+```
+
+## Step 4 — Add the PreToolUse hook to settings.json
+
+Each agent group has a `settings.json` at:
+
+```
+data/v2-sessions/<group-id>/.claude-shared/settings.json
+```
+
+This file is mounted at `/home/node/.claude/settings.json` inside the container and is read by Claude Code for hooks, env, and model config.
+
+Add the `PreToolUse` entry with `jq`. This drops any existing rtk Bash hook first, then appends a fresh one, so it is safe to re-run without creating duplicates:
+
+```bash
+SETTINGS="data/v2-sessions/<group-id>/.claude-shared/settings.json"
+
+jq '.hooks.PreToolUse = ((.hooks.PreToolUse // [])
+      | map(select((.hooks // []) | any(.command == "rtk hook claude") | not)))
+    + [{"matcher":"Bash","hooks":[{"type":"command","command":"rtk hook claude"}]}]' \
+  "$SETTINGS" > /tmp/rtk-settings.json && mv /tmp/rtk-settings.json "$SETTINGS"
+```
+
+## Step 5 — Restart the container
+
+```bash
+ncl groups restart --id <group-id>
+```
+
+## Verify
+
+Confirm the binary is executable inside the container so a missing or non-executable mount surfaces immediately rather than as a silent hook failure:
+
+```bash
+docker exec "$(docker ps --filter "name=<group-id>" --format '{{.Names}}' | head -1)" rtk --version
+```
+
+Then ask the agent to run `git status` or any other supported command. rtk intercepts it silently. Check savings with:
+
+```bash
+~/.local/bin/rtk gain
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `rtk: command not found` inside the container
+
+Mount wasn't applied or container wasn't restarted:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db \
+  "SELECT additional_mounts FROM container_configs WHERE agent_group_id = '<group-id>'"
+# Look for entry with /usr/local/bin/rtk
+ncl groups restart --id <group-id>
+```
+
+### Hook not firing
+
+Verify the hook is in `settings.json`:
+
+```bash
+jq '.hooks.PreToolUse' data/v2-sessions/<group-id>/.claude-shared/settings.json
+```
+
+If missing, re-run Step 4.
+
+### Binary won't execute — permission denied
+
+```bash
+chmod +x ~/.local/bin/rtk
+```

+
+## 1. Remove the container skill
+
+Delete the copied container skill and its per-group session copies:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf container/skills/vercel-cli
+for session_dir in data/v2-sessions/ag-*; do
+  rm -rf "$session_dir/.claude-shared/skills/vercel-cli"

+
+## 2. Remove the dependency guard test
+
+```bash
+rm -f src/vercel-dockerfile.test.ts
+```
+
+## 3. Remove the OneCLI credential
+
+Delete the Vercel secret and strip its id from every agent's assigned list. `set-secrets` replaces the whole list, so read, filter, and write back per agent:
+
+```bash
+VERCEL_SECRET_ID=$(onecli secrets list | jq -r '.data[] | select(.name | test("(?i)vercel")) | .id' | head -1)
+if [ -n "$VERCEL_SECRET_ID" ]; then
+  for agent in $(onecli agents list | jq -r '.data[].id'); do
+    REMAINING=$(onecli agents secrets --id "$agent" | jq -r --arg id "$VERCEL_SECRET_ID" '[.data[] | select(. != $id)] | join(",")')
+    onecli agents set-secrets --id "$agent" --secret-ids "$REMAINING"
+  done
+  onecli secrets delete --id "$VERCEL_SECRET_ID"
+fi
+```
+
+## 4. The Vercel CLI in the container image
+
+The Vercel CLI ships with the agent image on the NanoClaw trunk (`ARG VERCEL_VERSION` and `pnpm install -g "vercel@${VERCEL_VERSION}"` in `container/Dockerfile`). Leave those lines — they are part of the base image, not added by this skill. No rebuild is needed.
+
+## 5. Restart running containers
+
+So sessions stop loading the removed `vercel-cli` skill on next wake:

 ## Phase 4: Ensure Vercel CLI in Container Image
 
-Check if `vercel` is already in the Dockerfile:
+The Vercel CLI is installed globally in the agent image via `container/Dockerfile`. Check for both halves of the install — the pinned version arg and the install line:
 
 ```bash
-grep -q 'vercel' container/Dockerfile && echo "PRESENT" || echo "MISSING"
+grep -Eq '^ARG VERCEL_VERSION=' container/Dockerfile && \
+  grep -Eq 'pnpm install -g "?vercel@\$\{VERCEL_VERSION\}"?' container/Dockerfile && \
+  echo "PRESENT" || echo "MISSING"
 ```
 
-If `MISSING`, add `vercel` to the global npm install line in `container/Dockerfile`, then rebuild:
+If `MISSING`, add a pinned `ARG VERCEL_VERSION=52.2.1` near the other version args and a `pnpm install -g "vercel@${VERCEL_VERSION}"` step in the global-install block of `container/Dockerfile`, then rebuild the image:
 
 ```bash
 ./container/build.sh
 ```
 
-If `PRESENT`, skip — no rebuild needed.
+If `PRESENT`, the CLI is already in the image — skip the rebuild.
+
+## Phase 4b: Copy and Run the Dependency Guard
+
+The Vercel CLI is a globally-installed binary — not importable or typed — so a structural test guards the Dockerfile install. Copy it into the host test tree and run it:
+
+```bash
+cp .claude/skills/add-vercel/vercel-dockerfile.test.ts src/vercel-dockerfile.test.ts
+pnpm exec vitest run src/vercel-dockerfile.test.ts
+```
+
+The test parses `container/Dockerfile` and asserts both the `ARG VERCEL_VERSION=...` and the `pnpm install -g "vercel@${VERCEL_VERSION}"` line are present. It goes red if either is dropped or drifts.

+# Remove WhatsApp
+
+Every step is idempotent — safe to re-run.
+
+## 1. Remove the adapter
+
+Delete the self-registration import from `src/channels/index.ts` (skip if already gone):
+
+```typescript
+import './whatsapp.js';
+```
+
+Then delete the copied adapter, its registration test, and its unit test:
+
+```bash
+rm -f src/channels/whatsapp.ts src/channels/whatsapp-registration.test.ts src/channels/whatsapp.test.ts
+```
+
+## 2. Remove the setup steps
+
+Delete these entries from the `STEPS` map in `setup/index.ts` (skip lines already gone):
+
+```typescript
+groups: () => import('./groups.js'),
+'whatsapp-auth': () => import('./whatsapp-auth.js'),
+```
+
+> Keep `groups: ...` if another installed channel relies on the `groups` setup step. Only the `'whatsapp-auth':` entry is WhatsApp-specific.
+
+Then delete the copied setup step files:
+
+```bash
+rm -f setup/whatsapp-auth.ts
+```
+
+> Keep `setup/groups.ts` if another installed channel relies on it.
+
+## 3. Remove credentials
+
+Remove `ASSISTANT_HAS_OWN_NUMBER` from `.env` (only present if a dedicated number was configured), then re-sync to the container:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env
+```
+
+## 4. Remove the packages
+
+```bash
+pnpm uninstall @whiskeysockets/baileys qrcode @types/qrcode pino
+```
+
+## 5. Rebuild and restart
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build
+source setup/lib/install-slug.sh
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/$(launchd_label)  # macOS
+# Linux: systemctl --user restart $(systemd_unit)
+```
+
+## 6. Remove auth state (optional)
+
+To fully remove the linked-device authentication and session state:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf store/auth/
+```
+
+> **Warning:** This unlinks the device. Re-installing WhatsApp requires re-pairing from your phone via QR or pairing code (see SKILL.md Credentials).
+
+To keep the linked device for a later reinstall, leave `store/auth/` intact.

-description: Install the claw CLI tool — run NanoClaw agent containers from the command line without opening a chat app.
----
-
-# claw — NanoClaw CLI
-
-`claw` is a Python CLI that sends prompts directly to a NanoClaw agent container from the terminal. It reads registered groups from the NanoClaw database, picks up secrets from `.env`, and pipes a JSON payload into a container run — no chat app required.
-
-## What it does
-
-- Send a prompt to any registered group by name, folder, or JID
-- Default target is the main group (no `-g` needed for most use)
-- Resume a previous session with `-s <session-id>`
-- Read prompts from stdin (`--pipe`) for scripting and piping
-- List all registered groups with `--list-groups`
-- Auto-detects `container` or `docker` runtime (or override with `--runtime`)
-- Prints the agent's response to stdout; session ID to stderr
-- Verbose mode (`-v`) shows the command, redacted payload, and exit code
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Python 3.8 or later
-- NanoClaw installed with a built and tagged container image (`nanoclaw-agent:latest`)
-- Either `container` (Apple Container, macOS 15+) or `docker` available in `PATH`
-
-## Install
-
-Run this skill from within the NanoClaw directory. The script auto-detects its location, so the symlink always points to the right place.
-
-### 1. Copy the script
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p scripts
-cp "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/claw" scripts/claw
-chmod +x scripts/claw
-```
-
-### 2. Symlink into PATH
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/bin
-ln -sf "$(pwd)/scripts/claw" ~/bin/claw
-```
-
-Make sure `~/bin` is in `PATH`. Add this to `~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc` if needed:
-
-```bash
-export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
-```
-
-Then reload the shell:
-
-```bash
-source ~/.zshrc   # or ~/.bashrc
-```
-
-### 3. Verify
-
-```bash
-claw --list-groups
-```
-
-You should see registered groups. If NanoClaw isn't running or the database doesn't exist yet, the list will be empty — that's fine.
-
-## Usage Examples
-
-```bash
-# Send a prompt to the main group
-claw "What's on my calendar today?"
-
-# Send to a specific group by name (fuzzy match)
-claw -g "family" "Remind everyone about dinner at 7"

-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "neither 'container' nor 'docker' found"
-
-Install Docker Desktop or Apple Container (macOS 15+), or pass `--runtime` explicitly.
-
-### "no secrets found in .env"
-
-The script auto-detects your NanoClaw directory and reads `.env` from it. Check that the file exists and contains at least one of: `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`.
-
-### Container times out
-
-The default timeout is 300 seconds. For longer tasks, pass `--timeout 600` (or higher). If the container consistently hangs, check that your `nanoclaw-agent:latest` image is up to date by running `./container/build.sh`.
-
-### "group not found"
-
-Run `claw --list-groups` to see what's registered. Group lookup does a fuzzy partial match on name and folder — if your query matches multiple groups, you'll get an error listing the ambiguous matches.
-
-### Container crashes mid-stream
-
-Containers run with `--rm` so they are automatically removed. If the agent crashes before emitting the output sentinel, `claw` falls back to printing raw stdout. Use `-v` to see what the container produced. Rebuild the image with `./container/build.sh` if crashes are consistent.
-
-### Override the NanoClaw directory
-
-If `claw` can't find your database or `.env`, set the `NANOCLAW_DIR` environment variable:
-
-```bash
-export NANOCLAW_DIR=/path/to/your/nanoclaw
-```

-name: convert-to-apple-container
-description: Switch from Docker to Apple Container for macOS-native container isolation. Use when the user wants Apple Container instead of Docker, or is setting up on macOS and prefers the native runtime. Triggers on "apple container", "convert to apple container", "switch to apple container", or "use apple container".
----
-
-# Convert to Apple Container
-
-This skill switches NanoClaw's container runtime from Docker to Apple Container (macOS-only). It uses the skills engine for deterministic code changes, then walks through verification.
-
-**What this changes:**
-- Container runtime binary: `docker` → `container`
-- Mount syntax: `-v path:path:ro` → `--mount type=bind,source=...,target=...,readonly`
-- Startup check: `docker info` → `container system status` (with auto-start)
-- Orphan detection: `docker ps --filter` → `container ls --format json`
-- Build script default: `docker` → `container`
-- Dockerfile entrypoint: `.env` shadowing via `mount --bind` inside the container (Apple Container only supports directory mounts, not file mounts like Docker's `/dev/null` overlay)
-- Container runner: main-group containers start as root for `mount --bind`, then drop privileges via `setpriv`
-
-**What stays the same:**
-- Mount security/allowlist validation
-- All exported interfaces and IPC protocol
-- Non-main container behavior (still uses `--user` flag)
-- All other functionality
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Verify Apple Container is installed:
-
-```bash
-container --version && echo "Apple Container ready" || echo "Install Apple Container first"
-```
-
-If not installed:
-- Download from https://github.com/apple/container/releases
-- Install the `.pkg` file
-- Verify: `container --version`
-
-Apple Container requires macOS. It does not work on Linux.
-
-## Phase 1: Pre-flight
-
-### Check if already applied
-
-```bash
-grep "CONTAINER_RUNTIME_BIN" src/container-runtime.ts
-```
-
-If it already shows `'container'`, the runtime is already Apple Container. Skip to Phase 4.
-
-## Phase 2: Apply Code Changes
-
-### Ensure upstream remote
-
-```bash
-git remote -v
-```
-
-If `upstream` is missing, add it:
-
-```bash
-git remote add upstream https://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw.git
-```
-
-### Merge the skill branch
-
-```bash
-git fetch upstream skill/apple-container
-git merge upstream/skill/apple-container
-```
-
-This merges in:
-- `src/container-runtime.ts` — Apple Container implementation (replaces Docker)
-- `src/container-runtime.test.ts` — Apple Container-specific tests
-- `src/container-runner.ts` — .env shadow mount fix and privilege dropping
-- `container/Dockerfile` — entrypoint that shadows .env via `mount --bind`
-- `container/build.sh` — default runtime set to `container`
-
-If the merge reports conflicts, resolve them by reading the conflicted files and understanding the intent of both sides.
-
-### Validate code changes
-
-```bash
-pnpm test
-pnpm run build
-```
-
-All tests must pass and build must be clean before proceeding.
-
-## Phase 3: Credential proxy network binding
-
-Apple Container uses a bridge network (bridge100) that only exists while containers are running. The credential proxy must start before any container, so it cannot bind to the bridge IP. It must bind to `0.0.0.0`, which exposes port 3001 on all network interfaces — anyone on your local network could route API requests through the proxy using your credentials.
-
-Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user:
-
-**"The credential proxy needs to bind to all interfaces (0.0.0.0). Is this Mac on a trusted private network?"**
-
-Options:
-1. **Yes, private/home network** — description: "No firewall rule needed."
-2. **No, shared/public network** — description: "Add a macOS firewall rule to block external access to port 3001."
-
-For both options, add `CREDENTIAL_PROXY_HOST=0.0.0.0` to `.env`:
-
-```bash
-grep -q 'CREDENTIAL_PROXY_HOST' .env 2>/dev/null || echo 'CREDENTIAL_PROXY_HOST=0.0.0.0' >> .env
-```
-
-If they chose the public network option, set up and persist the firewall rule:
-
-```bash
-echo "block in on en0 proto tcp to any port 3001" | sudo pfctl -ef -
-```
-
-```bash
-grep -q 'nanoclaw proxy' /etc/pf.conf 2>/dev/null || echo '# nanoclaw proxy — block LAN access to credential proxy
-block in on en0 proto tcp to any port 3001' | sudo tee -a /etc/pf.conf > /dev/null
-```
-
-Verify the rule is working:
-
-```bash
-curl -sf http://$(ipconfig getifaddr en0):3001 && echo "EXPOSED — rule not working" || echo "BLOCKED — rule active"
-```
-
-If the verification shows "EXPOSED", warn the user and retry. If "BLOCKED", confirm success and continue.
-
-## Phase 4: Verify
-
-### Ensure Apple Container runtime is running
-
-```bash
-container system status || container system start
-```
-
-### Build the container image
-
-```bash
-./container/build.sh
-```
-
-### Test basic execution
-
-```bash
-echo '{}' | container run -i --entrypoint /bin/echo nanoclaw-agent:latest "Container OK"
-```
-
-### Test readonly mounts
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p /tmp/test-ro && echo "test" > /tmp/test-ro/file.txt
-container run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash \
-  --mount type=bind,source=/tmp/test-ro,target=/test,readonly \
-  nanoclaw-agent:latest \
-  -c "cat /test/file.txt && touch /test/new.txt 2>&1 || echo 'Write blocked (expected)'"
-rm -rf /tmp/test-ro
-```
-
-Expected: Read succeeds, write fails with "Read-only file system".
-
-### Test read-write mounts
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p /tmp/test-rw
-container run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash \
-  -v /tmp/test-rw:/test \
-  nanoclaw-agent:latest \
-  -c "echo 'test write' > /test/new.txt && cat /test/new.txt"
-cat /tmp/test-rw/new.txt && rm -rf /tmp/test-rw
-```
-
-Expected: Both operations succeed.
-
-### Full integration test
-
-```bash
-pnpm run build
-launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.nanoclaw
-```
-
-Send a message via WhatsApp and verify the agent responds.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**Apple Container not found:**
-- Download from https://github.com/apple/container/releases
-- Install the `.pkg` file
-- Verify: `container --version`
-
-**Runtime won't start:**
-```bash
-container system start
-container system status
-```
-
-**Image build fails:**
-```bash
-# Clean rebuild — Apple Container caches aggressively
-container builder stop && container builder rm && container builder start
-./container/build.sh
-```
-
-**Container can't write to mounted directories:**
-Check directory permissions on the host. The container runs as uid 1000.

-3. **Plan the changes** - Identify files to modify. If a skill exists for the request (e.g., `/add-telegram` for adding Telegram), invoke it instead of implementing manually.
-4. **Implement** - Make changes directly to the code
-5. **Test guidance** - Tell user how to verify
+1. **Understand the request** — Ask clarifying questions.
+2. **Prefer a dedicated skill** — If a skill covers the request, invoke it instead of editing core by hand:
+   - Channels: `/add-telegram`, `/add-slack`, `/add-discord`, `/add-whatsapp`, `/add-signal`, `/add-imessage`, and the rest of the `/add-<channel>` family.
+   - Wiring channels to agents and isolation levels: `/manage-channels`.
+   - Container directory access: `/manage-mounts`.
+   - Agent providers (non-default): `/add-opencode`, `/add-codex`, `/add-ollama-provider`.
+   - Integrations as MCP tools: `/add-gmail-tool`, `/add-gcal-tool`, `/add-ollama-tool`, etc.
+3. **Plan the changes** — Identify the v2 surface the change belongs to (entity model in the central DB, per-agent-group container config, per-group `CLAUDE.md`, or core code).
+4. **Implement** — Make the change on the right surface.
+5. **Test guidance** — Tell the user how to verify.
+
+## Entity Model
+
+Customizations route through the v2 entity model: users → messaging groups → agent groups → sessions. A messaging group is one chat/channel on one platform; an agent group holds the workspace, personality, and container config; a wiring links a messaging group to an agent group with a session mode and trigger rules. Inspect and edit all of this with the `ncl` admin CLI. See `docs/isolation-model.md` for the three isolation levels.

 ## Common Customization Patterns
 
 ### Adding a New Input Channel (e.g., Telegram, Slack, Email)
 
 Questions to ask:
-- Which channel? (Telegram, Slack, Discord, email, SMS, etc.)
-- Same trigger word or different?
-- Same memory hierarchy or separate?
-- Should messages from this channel go to existing groups or new ones?
+- Which channel? (Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, email, etc.)
+- Should this channel reach an existing agent group or a new one?
+- What isolation level — share an agent group with other channels, or keep it separate?
+- Same trigger rules as other channels on that agent group, or different?
 
-Implementation pattern:
-1. Create `src/channels/{name}.ts` implementing the `Channel` interface from `src/types.ts` (see `src/channels/whatsapp.ts` for reference)
-2. Add the channel instance to `main()` in `src/index.ts` and wire callbacks (`onMessage`, `onChatMetadata`)
-3. Messages are stored via the `onMessage` callback; routing is automatic via `ownsJid()`
+Implementation:
+1. Run the matching install skill (`/add-telegram`, `/add-slack`, …). It fetches the adapter from the `channels` branch, wires the registration import, installs the pinned package, and builds.
+2. Run `/manage-channels` (or use `ncl messaging-groups` + `ncl wirings`) to create the messaging group, choose the isolation level, and wire it to an agent group with a session mode and trigger rules.
 
 ### Adding a New MCP Integration
 
 Questions to ask:
 - What service? (Calendar, Notion, database, etc.)
-- What operations needed? (read, write, both)
-- Which groups should have access?
+- What operations are needed? (read, write, both)
+- Which agent group should have access?
 
 Implementation:
-1. Add MCP server config to the container settings (see `src/container-runner.ts` for how MCP servers are mounted)
-2. Document available tools in `groups/CLAUDE.md`
+- If an `/add-<service>-tool` skill exists (e.g. `/add-gmail-tool`, `/add-gcal-tool`), run it — it wires the MCP server and routes credentials through OneCLI so no raw keys reach the container.
+- Otherwise wire the MCP server into the agent group's container config: `ncl groups config add-mcp-server --id <group-id> --name <name> --command <cmd> [--args <json-array>] [--env <json-object>]`, then `ncl groups restart --id <group-id>` to take effect. From inside a container the agent uses the `add_mcp_server` self-mod tool, which requires one admin approval.
 
 ### Changing Assistant Behavior
 
 Questions to ask:
-- What aspect? (name, trigger, persona, response style)
-- Apply to all groups or specific ones?
+- What aspect? (persona, response style, instructions)
+- Apply to one agent group or several?
 
-Simple changes → edit `src/config.ts`
-Persona changes → edit `groups/CLAUDE.md`
-Per-group behavior → edit specific group's `CLAUDE.md`
+Implementation:
+- Persona, instructions, and personality live per agent group in `groups/<folder>/CLAUDE.md` — edit that file for the target group.
+- Container runtime behavior (provider, model, packages, MCP servers) lives in the `container_configs` table: `ncl groups config get/update --id <group-id>`.
 
 ### Adding New Commands
 
 Questions to ask:
 - What should the command do?
-- Available in all groups or main only?
+- Which agent group(s)?
 - Does it need new MCP tools?
 
 Implementation:
-1. Commands are handled by the agent naturally — add instructions to `groups/CLAUDE.md` or the group's `CLAUDE.md`
-2. For trigger-level routing changes, modify `processGroupMessages()` in `src/index.ts`
+- The agent interprets requests naturally — add instructions to the agent group's `groups/<folder>/CLAUDE.md`.
+- For routing or trigger changes (which messages wake which agent group), update the wiring's trigger rules: `ncl wirings update --id <wiring-id> ...`.
 
 ### Changing Deployment
 
 Questions to ask:
-- Target platform? (Linux server, Docker, different Mac)
-- Service manager? (systemd, Docker, supervisord)
+- Target platform? (Linux server, different Mac)
+- Service manager? (launchd, systemd)
 
 Implementation:
-1. Create appropriate service files
-2. Update paths in config
-3. Provide setup instructions
+1. Create the appropriate service files.
+2. Update paths in `.env` / config.
+3. Provide setup instructions.

-4. Add the channel to `main()` in `src/index.ts`
-5. Tell user how to authenticate and test
+1. Run `/add-telegram` to install the adapter, wire its registration, and build.
+2. Ask: "Should Telegram reach an existing agent group, or a new one?"
+3. Ask: "Share an agent group with your other channels, or keep Telegram separate?"
+4. Run `/manage-channels` (or `ncl messaging-groups create` + `ncl wirings create`) to create the messaging group and wire it to the chosen agent group with a session mode and trigger rules.

 ## Architecture Overview

-**Important:** The container runs as user `node` with `HOME=/home/node`. Session files must be mounted to `/home/node/.claude/` (not `/root/.claude/`) for session resumption to work.
+**Message flow:** host writes a row to `inbound.db` (`messages_in`) and wakes the container; the container's poll loop picks it up, runs the agent, and writes the reply to `outbound.db` (`messages_out`); the host's delivery poll reads `messages_out` and sends it through the channel adapter. See [docs/db.md](../../../docs/db.md) and [docs/db-session.md](../../../docs/db-session.md) for the full two-DB model.
+
+**Container identity:** the container runs as user `node` with `HOME=/home/node`. Per-group Claude state (settings, session history) lives in `<group>/.claude-shared` on the host, mounted to `/home/node/.claude`.
 
 ## Log Locations
 
 | Log | Location | Content |
 |-----|----------|---------|
-| **Main app logs** | `logs/nanoclaw.log` | Host-side WhatsApp, routing, container spawning |
-| **Main app errors** | `logs/nanoclaw.error.log` | Host-side errors |
-| **Container run logs** | `groups/{folder}/logs/container-*.log` | Per-run: input, mounts, stderr, stdout |
-| **Claude sessions** | `~/.claude/projects/` | Claude Code session history |
+| **Host errors** | `logs/nanoclaw.error.log` | Delivery failures, crash-loop backoff, warnings — check this first |
+| **Host app log** | `logs/nanoclaw.log` | Full routing chain: inbound routing, container spawn/exit, delivery |
+| **Setup logs** | `logs/setup.log`, `logs/setup-steps/*.log` | Per-step install output (bootstrap, container, onecli, mounts, service) |
+| **Session inbound** | `data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/inbound.db` (`messages_in`) | Did the message reach the container? |
+| **Session outbound** | `data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/outbound.db` (`messages_out`) | Did the agent produce a reply? |
+
+Containers run with `--rm`, so the container's own filesystem is gone after it exits. The host streams container **stderr** into `logs/nanoclaw.log` at debug level, tagged with `container=<group folder>`; raise the log level (below) to see it. If the agent silently failed inside an exited container, there is no persistent in-container log — reconstruct from the session DBs and the host log.

+
+## Inspecting Session DBs
+
+The two session DBs are where the message flow lives. Use the in-tree query wrapper (it goes through the `better-sqlite3` dep that setup already installs, avoiding a dependency on the `sqlite3` CLI):
+
+```bash
+# List sessions and their agent group / messaging group from the central DB
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2.db "SELECT id, agent_group_id, messaging_group_id, status, container_status, last_active FROM sessions"
+
+# Or via the admin CLI
+ncl sessions list
+
+# Did the message reach the container? (inbound.db, host writes / container reads)
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/inbound.db \
+  "SELECT seq, kind, status, timestamp FROM messages_in ORDER BY seq DESC LIMIT 10"
+
+# Did the agent produce a reply? (outbound.db, container writes / host reads)
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/outbound.db \
+  "SELECT seq, kind, timestamp FROM messages_out ORDER BY seq DESC LIMIT 10"
+
+# Container-side processing status for each inbound message
+pnpm exec tsx scripts/q.ts data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/outbound.db \
+  "SELECT message_id, status, status_changed FROM processing_ack ORDER BY status_changed DESC LIMIT 10"
+```
+
+Reading the flow:
+- `messages_in` has the message but no matching `messages_out` → the container never produced a reply (check `processing_ack`, then `logs/nanoclaw.log` for spawn/exit and container stderr).
+- `messages_out` has a reply but the user never received it → a delivery problem (see issue 1 below).
+- `messages_in` is empty → routing never reached this session (check the router log lines and the central wiring with `ncl wirings list`).
 
 ## Common Issues
 
-### 1. "Claude Code process exited with code 1"
+### 1. "No adapter for channel type" / Messages silently lost (null platform_message_id)
 
-**Check the container log file** in `groups/{folder}/logs/container-*.log`
-
-Common causes:
-
-#### Missing Authentication
+**Symptom:** The bot stops replying. `logs/nanoclaw.error.log` shows repeated:
 ```
-Invalid API key · Please run /login
+WARN No adapter for channel type channelType="telegram"
+WARN No adapter for channel type channelType="signal"
 ```
-**Fix:** Ensure `.env` file exists with either OAuth token or API key:
+The main log shows "Message delivered" entries with `platformMsgId=undefined` — meaning the delivery poll ran, found no adapter, and marked the message delivered without sending it.
+
+**Root cause: two NanoClaw service instances running simultaneously.**
+
+When a second service instance is active with a stale binary, it has no channel adapters registered. Its delivery poll races the working instance and wins — marking outbound messages delivered without ever sending them.
+
+**Diagnosis:**
 ```bash
-cat .env  # Should show one of:
-# CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=sk-ant-oat01-...  (subscription)
-# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-api03-...        (pay-per-use)
+# Check for duplicate running instances
+ps aux | grep 'nanoclaw/dist/index.js' | grep -v grep
+
+# Check which services are active (Linux)
+systemctl --user list-units 'nanoclaw*' --all
+
+# Confirm channel adapters registered by the current process
+grep "Channel adapter started" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -10
 ```
 
-#### Root User Restriction
-```
---dangerously-skip-permissions cannot be used with root/sudo privileges
-```
-**Fix:** Container must run as non-root user. Check Dockerfile has `USER node`.
+**Fix:**
+1. Identify which service has the correct binary and EnvironmentFile (the one whose log shows the expected channels — e.g. `signal`, `telegram`, `cli` — all started).
+2. Stop and disable the stale duplicate service:
+   ```bash
+   systemctl --user stop nanoclaw.service   # or whichever is the old one
+   systemctl --user disable nanoclaw.service
+   ```
+3. If the remaining service unit is missing `EnvironmentFile`, add it:
+   ```bash
+   # Edit the service unit — add this line under [Service]:
+   # EnvironmentFile=/home/[user]/nanoclaw/.env
+   systemctl --user daemon-reload
+   systemctl --user restart nanoclaw-v2-<id>.service
+   ```
+4. Verify only one instance runs: `ps aux | grep nanoclaw/dist/index.js | grep -v grep`
 
-### 2. Environment Variables Not Passing
+Messages marked delivered with a null `platform_message_id` are not automatically retried. Ask the user to resend.
 
-**Runtime note:** Environment variables passed via `-e` may be lost when using `-i` (interactive/piped stdin).
+### 2. Container exits immediately / agent produces no reply
 
-**Workaround:** The system extracts only authentication variables (`CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`) from `.env` and mounts them for sourcing inside the container. Other env vars are not exposed.
+A spawned container that exits without writing to `outbound.db` shows up in `logs/nanoclaw.log` as a `Container exited` line with a non-zero `code`, often preceded by streamed `container=<folder>` stderr (at debug level).
 
-To verify env vars are reaching the container:
+**Authentication errors:** secrets are injected per request by the OneCLI gateway — none are passed in env vars or chat context. A `401` from an API whose credential is in the vault usually means the agent is in `selective` secret mode and that secret was never assigned:
 ```bash
-echo '{}' | docker run -i \
-  -v $(pwd)/data/env:/workspace/env-dir:ro \
-  --entrypoint /bin/bash nanoclaw-agent:latest \
-  -c 'export $(cat /workspace/env-dir/env | xargs); echo "OAuth: ${#CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN} chars, API: ${#ANTHROPIC_API_KEY} chars"'
+onecli agents list                                        # check secretMode
+onecli agents set-secret-mode --id <agent-id> --mode all  # inject all matching secrets
 ```
+If the gateway itself is unreachable, the container runner refuses to spawn (`OneCLI gateway not applied — refusing to spawn container without credentials` in the host log). Confirm the gateway is up at `http://127.0.0.1:10254`.
+
+**MCP server failures:** a misconfigured MCP server can abort the agent run. Look for MCP initialization errors in the streamed container stderr (`LOG_LEVEL=debug`).
 
 ### 3. Mount Issues
 
-**Container mount notes:**
-- Docker supports both `-v` and `--mount` syntax
-- Use `:ro` suffix for readonly mounts:
-  ```bash
-  # Readonly
-  -v /path:/container/path:ro
+Session and group folders are bind-mounted into the container. To see the resolved mounts for a spawn, run with `LOG_LEVEL=debug` and read the spawn command in `logs/nanoclaw.log`, or grep the mount targets directly:
 
-  # Read-write
-  -v /path:/container/path
-  ```
-
-To check what's mounted inside a container:
 ```bash
-docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash nanoclaw-agent:latest -c 'ls -la /workspace/'
+grep -n "containerPath" src/container-runner.ts
 ```
 
-Expected structure:
+Expected mount targets inside the container:

-### 4. Permission Issues
-
-The container runs as user `node` (uid 1000). Check ownership:
+To inspect what a fresh container sees:
 ```bash
-docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash nanoclaw-agent:latest -c '
-  whoami
-  ls -la /workspace/
-  ls -la /app/
-'
+docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash nanoclaw-agent:latest -c 'whoami; ls -la /workspace/ /app/'
 ```
+All of `/workspace/` and `/app/` should be owned by `node`. Use `:ro` on a `-v` mount for read-only.
 
-All of `/workspace/` and `/app/` should be owned by `node`.
+### 4. Heartbeat / stale-session detection
 
-### 5. Session Not Resuming / "Claude Code process exited with code 1"
+Liveness is a file `touch` on `/workspace/.heartbeat` (host path: `data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/.heartbeat`), not a DB write. The host sweep reads its mtime plus the `processing_ack` claim age to decide whether a container is alive or stale. A session stuck "processing" with a stale `.heartbeat` mtime means the container died mid-run:
 
-If sessions aren't being resumed (new session ID every time), or Claude Code exits with code 1 when resuming:
-
-**Root cause:** The SDK looks for sessions at `$HOME/.claude/projects/`. Inside the container, `HOME=/home/node`, so it looks at `/home/node/.claude/projects/`.
-
-**Check the mount path:**
 ```bash
-# In container-runner.ts, verify mount is to /home/node/.claude/, NOT /root/.claude/
-grep -A3 "Claude sessions" src/container-runner.ts
+stat -f '%Sm' data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/.heartbeat   # macOS
+stat -c '%y'  data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/.heartbeat   # Linux
 ```
 
-**Verify sessions are accessible:**
+## Container CLI (`ncl`) inside a session
+
+The agent reaches the central DB from inside the container via `ncl`, which uses the session DB transport (`container/agent-runner/src/cli/ncl.ts`). On the host, `ncl` connects over a Unix socket (`src/cli/socket-server.ts`). If `ncl` calls fail from inside a container, check the agent group's `cli_scope` in its container config:
+
 ```bash
-docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash \
-  -v ~/.claude:/home/node/.claude \
-  nanoclaw-agent:latest -c '
-echo "HOME=$HOME"
-ls -la $HOME/.claude/projects/ 2>&1 | head -5
-'
+ncl groups config get --id <group-id>   # look at cli_scope: disabled | group | global
 ```
 
-**Fix:** Ensure `container-runner.ts` mounts to `/home/node/.claude/`:
-```typescript
-mounts.push({
-  hostPath: claudeDir,
-  containerPath: '/home/node/.claude',  // NOT /root/.claude
-  readonly: false
-});
-```
+`disabled` rejects every `cli_request`; `group` scopes the agent to its own group's `groups`/`sessions`/`destinations`/`members`; `global` is unrestricted.
 
-### 6. MCP Server Failures
+## Restarting a session's container
 
-If an MCP server fails to start, the agent may exit. Check the container logs for MCP initialization errors.
-
-## Manual Container Testing
-
-### Test the full agent flow:
 ```bash
-# Set up env file
-mkdir -p data/env groups/test
-cp .env data/env/env
+# Restart all containers for an agent group
+ncl groups restart --id <group-id>
 
-# Run test query
-echo '{"prompt":"What is 2+2?","groupFolder":"test","chatJid":"test@g.us","isMain":false}' | \
-  docker run -i \
-  -v $(pwd)/data/env:/workspace/env-dir:ro \
-  -v $(pwd)/groups/test:/workspace/group \
-  -v $(pwd)/data/ipc:/workspace/ipc \
-  nanoclaw-agent:latest
+# Restart and rebuild the image first (after package/Dockerfile changes)
+ncl groups restart --id <group-id> --rebuild
+
+# Restart and wake immediately with a message
+ncl groups restart --id <group-id> --message "on_wake test"
 ```
 
-### Test Claude Code directly:
-```bash
-docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash \
-  -v $(pwd)/data/env:/workspace/env-dir:ro \
-  nanoclaw-agent:latest -c '
-  export $(cat /workspace/env-dir/env | xargs)
-  claude -p "Say hello" --dangerously-skip-permissions --allowedTools ""
-'
-```
+Without `--message`, the container comes back on the next user message. From inside a container, `--id` is auto-filled and only the calling session restarts.
+
+## Manual Container Probes
+
+The container's entry point is `exec bun run /app/src/index.ts`; it talks only to the mounted session DBs, so there is no JSON to pipe in. To probe the image directly:
 
-### Interactive shell in container:
 ```bash
+# Interactive shell in the image
 docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/bash nanoclaw-agent:latest
+
+# Check the image contents
+docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash nanoclaw-agent:latest -c '
+  node --version
+  bun --version
+  ls /app/src/
+'
 ```
 
-## SDK Options Reference
+## Provider SDK Options
 
-The agent-runner uses these Claude Agent SDK options:
+The default provider wraps the Claude Agent SDK in `container/agent-runner/src/providers/claude.ts`. The query is configured roughly as:
 
 ```typescript
 query({
   prompt: input.prompt,
   options: {
-    cwd: '/workspace/group',
-    allowedTools: ['Bash', 'Read', 'Write', ...],
+    cwd: input.cwd,                 // /workspace/agent
+    allowedTools: [...TOOL_ALLOWLIST, ...mcpAllowPatterns],
+    disallowedTools: SDK_DISALLOWED_TOOLS,
     permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions',
-    allowDangerouslySkipPermissions: true,  // Required with bypassPermissions
-    settingSources: ['project'],
-    mcpServers: { ... }
-  }
+    settingSources: ['project', 'user', 'local'],
+    mcpServers: { ... },
+  },
 })
 ```
 
-**Important:** `allowDangerouslySkipPermissions: true` is required when using `permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions'`. Without it, Claude Code exits with code 1.
+Each registered MCP server's allow pattern is derived from the `mcpServers` map, so registering a server already exposes its tools.
 
 ## Rebuilding After Changes
 
 ```bash
-# Rebuild main app
+# Rebuild host TypeScript
 pnpm run build
 
-# Rebuild container (use --no-cache for clean rebuild)
+# Rebuild the agent container image
 ./container/build.sh
 
-# Or force full rebuild
+# Force a truly clean rebuild (the buildkit cache retains stale COPY files)
 docker builder prune -af
 ./container/build.sh
 ```
 
-## Checking Container Image
+## Clearing a Session
+
+Conversation continuity lives in the container-owned `session_state` table in `outbound.db` (the provider's session/continuation id). The agent's `/clear` clears it. To reset a session from the host, remove the session folder so a fresh one is provisioned on the next message:
 
 ```bash
-# List images
-docker images
+# Inspect first
+ncl sessions get <session-id>
 
-# Check what's in the image
-docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash nanoclaw-agent:latest -c '
-  echo "=== Node version ==="
-  node --version
-
-  echo "=== Claude Code version ==="
-  claude --version
-
-  echo "=== Installed packages ==="
-  ls /app/node_modules/
-'
+# Remove a single session's folder (host re-provisions both DBs on next message)
+rm -rf data/v2-sessions/<group>/<session>/
 ```
 
-## Session Persistence
-
-Claude sessions are stored per-group in `data/sessions/{group}/.claude/` for security isolation. Each group has its own session directory, preventing cross-group access to conversation history.
-
-**Critical:** The mount path must match the container user's HOME directory:
-- Container user: `node`
-- Container HOME: `/home/node`
-- Mount target: `/home/node/.claude/` (NOT `/root/.claude/`)
-
-To clear sessions:
-
-```bash
-# Clear all sessions for all groups
-rm -rf data/sessions/
-
-# Clear sessions for a specific group
-rm -rf data/sessions/{groupFolder}/.claude/
-
-# Also clear the session ID from NanoClaw's tracking (stored in SQLite)
-sqlite3 store/messages.db "DELETE FROM sessions WHERE group_folder = '{groupFolder}'"
-```
-
-To verify session resumption is working, check the logs for the same session ID across messages:
-```bash
-grep "Session initialized" logs/nanoclaw.log | tail -5
-# Should show the SAME session ID for consecutive messages in the same group
-```
-
-## IPC Debugging
-
-The container communicates back to the host via files in `/workspace/ipc/`:
-
-```bash
-# Check pending messages
-ls -la data/ipc/messages/
-
-# Check pending task operations
-ls -la data/ipc/tasks/
-
-# Read a specific IPC file
-cat data/ipc/messages/*.json
-
-# Check available groups (main channel only)
-cat data/ipc/main/available_groups.json
-
-# Check current tasks snapshot
-cat data/ipc/{groupFolder}/current_tasks.json
-```
-
-**IPC file types:**
-- `messages/*.json` - Agent writes: outgoing WhatsApp messages
-- `tasks/*.json` - Agent writes: task operations (schedule, pause, resume, cancel, refresh_groups)
-- `current_tasks.json` - Host writes: read-only snapshot of scheduled tasks
-- `available_groups.json` - Host writes: read-only list of WhatsApp groups (main only)

+OneCLI's proxy injects credentials proactively — `injections_applied=1` appears in `docker logs onecli` even when git sends no auth header. However, OneCLI sets `SSL_CERT_FILE` for Node/Python/Deno but not `GIT_SSL_CAINFO`. Without it, git rejects the OneCLI MITM certificate.
