 ## Database
 
-Single migration in `migrations/V1__initial.sql`. Tables:
+IronClaw supports two database backends, selected at compile time via Cargo feature flags and at runtime via the `DATABASE_BACKEND` environment variable.
+
+**IMPORTANT: All new features that touch persistence MUST support both backends.** Implement the operation as a method on the `Database` trait in `src/db/mod.rs`, then add the implementation in both `src/db/postgres.rs` (delegate to Store/Repository) and `src/db/libsql_backend.rs` (native SQL).
+
+### Backends
+
+| Backend | Feature Flag | Default | Use Case |
+|---------|-------------|---------|----------|
+| PostgreSQL | `postgres` (default) | Yes | Production, existing deployments |
+| libSQL/Turso | `libsql` | No | Zero-dependency local mode, edge, Turso cloud |
+
+```bash
+# Build with PostgreSQL only (default)
+cargo build
+
+# Build with libSQL only
+cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql
+
+# Build with both backends available
+cargo build --features "postgres,libsql"
+```
+
+### Database Trait
+
+The `Database` trait (`src/db/mod.rs`) defines ~60 async methods covering all persistence:
+- Conversations, messages, metadata
+- Jobs, actions, LLM calls, estimation snapshots
+- Sandbox jobs, job events
+- Routines, routine runs
+- Tool failures, settings
+- Workspace: documents, chunks, hybrid search
+
+Both backends implement this trait. PostgreSQL delegates to the existing `Store` + `Repository`. libSQL implements native SQLite-dialect SQL.
+
+### Schema
+
+**PostgreSQL:** `migrations/V1__initial.sql` (351 lines). Uses pgvector for embeddings, tsvector for FTS, PL/pgSQL functions. Managed by `refinery`.
+
+**libSQL:** `src/db/libsql_migrations.rs` (consolidated schema, ~480 lines). Translates PG types:
+- `UUID` -> `TEXT`, `TIMESTAMPTZ` -> `TEXT` (ISO-8601), `JSONB` -> `TEXT`
+- `VECTOR(1536)` -> `F32_BLOB(1536)` with `libsql_vector_idx`
+- `tsvector`/`ts_rank_cd` -> FTS5 virtual table with sync triggers
+- PL/pgSQL functions -> SQLite triggers

+
+### Current Limitations (libSQL backend)
+
+- **Workspace/memory system** not yet wired through Database trait (requires Store migration)
+- **Secrets store** not yet available (still requires PostgresSecretsStore)
+- **Hybrid search** uses FTS5 only (vector search via libsql_vector_idx not yet implemented)
+- **Settings reload from DB** skipped (Config::from_db requires Store)
+- No incremental migration versioning (schema is CREATE IF NOT EXISTS, no ALTER TABLE support yet)
+- **No encryption at rest** -- The local SQLite database file stores conversation content, job data, workspace memory, and other application data in plaintext. Only secrets (API tokens, credentials) are encrypted via AES-256-GCM before storage. Users handling sensitive data should use full-disk encryption (FileVault, LUKS, BitLocker) or consider the PostgreSQL backend with TDE/encrypted storage.
+- **JSON merge patch vs path-targeted update** -- The libSQL backend uses RFC 7396 JSON Merge Patch (`json_patch`) for metadata updates, while PostgreSQL uses path-targeted `jsonb_set`. Merge patch replaces top-level keys entirely, which may drop nested keys not present in the patch. Callers should avoid relying on partial nested object updates in metadata fields.

+## Review & Fix Discipline
+
+Hard-won lessons from code review -- follow these when fixing bugs or addressing review feedback.
+
+### Fix the pattern, not just the instance
+When a reviewer flags a bug (e.g., TOCTOU race in INSERT + SELECT-back), search the entire codebase for all instances of that same pattern. A fix in `SecretsStore::create()` that doesn't also fix `WasmToolStore::store()` is half a fix.
+
+### Propagate architectural fixes to satellite types
+If a core type changes its concurrency model (e.g., `LibSqlBackend` switches to connection-per-operation), every type that was handed a resource from the old model (e.g., `LibSqlSecretsStore`, `LibSqlWasmToolStore` holding a single `Connection`) must also be updated. Grep for the old type across the codebase.
+
+### Schema translation is more than DDL
+When translating a database schema between backends (PostgreSQL to libSQL, etc.), check for:
+- **Indexes** -- diff `CREATE INDEX` statements between the two schemas
+- **Seed data** -- check for `INSERT INTO` in migrations (e.g., `leak_detection_patterns`)
+- **Semantic differences** -- document where SQL functions behave differently (e.g., `json_patch` vs `jsonb_set`)
+
+### Feature flag testing
+When adding feature-gated code, test compilation with each feature in isolation:
+```bash
+cargo check                                          # default features
+cargo check --no-default-features --features libsql  # libsql only
+cargo check --all-features                           # all features
+```
+Dead code behind the wrong `#[cfg]` gate will only show up when building with a single feature.
+
+### Mechanical verification before committing
+Run these checks on changed files before committing:
+- `grep -rnE '\.unwrap\(|\.expect\(' <files>` -- no panics in production
+- `grep -rn 'super::' <files>` -- use `crate::` imports
+- If you fixed a pattern bug, `grep` for other instances of that pattern across `src/`

+### Supply Chain Security: No Committed Binaries
+
+**Do not commit compiled WASM binaries.** They are a supply chain risk — the binary in a PR may not match the source. IronClaw builds channels from source:
+
+- `cargo build` automatically builds `telegram.wasm` via `build.rs`
+- The built binary is in `.gitignore` and is not committed
+- CI should run `cargo build` (or `./scripts/build-all.sh`) to produce releases
+
+**Reproducible build:**
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+Prerequisites: `rustup target add wasm32-wasip2`, `cargo install wasm-tools` (optional; fallback copies raw WASM if unavailable).
+
+### Telegram Channel (Manual Build)
+
+```bash
+# Add WASM target if needed
+rustup target add wasm32-wasip2
+
+# Build Telegram channel
+./channels-src/telegram/build.sh
+
+# Install (or use ironclaw onboard to install bundled channel)
+mkdir -p ~/.ironclaw/channels
+cp channels-src/telegram/telegram.wasm channels-src/telegram/telegram.capabilities.json ~/.ironclaw/channels/
+```
+
+**Note**: The main IronClaw binary bundles `telegram.wasm` via `include_bytes!`. When modifying the Telegram channel source, run `./channels-src/telegram/build.sh` **before** building the main crate, so the updated WASM is included.
+
+### Other Channels
+
 ```bash
 # Build the WASM component

-cargo component build --release

+cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip2

+# Telegram Channel Setup
+
+This guide covers configuring the Telegram channel for IronClaw, including DM pairing for access control.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Telegram channel lets you interact with IronClaw via Telegram DMs and groups. It supports:
+
+- **Webhook mode** (recommended): Instant delivery via tunnel
+- **Polling mode**: No tunnel required; ~30s delay
+- **DM pairing**: Approve unknown users before they can message the agent
+- **Group mentions**: `@YourBot` or `/command` to trigger in groups
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- IronClaw installed and configured (`ironclaw onboard`)
+- A Telegram bot token from [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Create a Bot
+
+1. Message [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) on Telegram
+2. Send `/newbot` and follow the prompts
+3. Copy the bot token (e.g., `123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz`)
+
+### 2. Configure via Setup Wizard
+
+```bash
+ironclaw onboard
+```
+
+When prompted, enable the Telegram channel and paste your bot token. The wizard will:
+
+- Validate the token
+- Optionally configure a webhook secret
+- Set up tunnel (if you want webhook mode)
+
+### 3. (Optional) Configure Tunnel for Webhooks
+
+For instant message delivery, expose your agent via a tunnel:
+
+```bash
+# ngrok
+ngrok http 8080
+
+# Cloudflare
+cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+Set the tunnel URL in settings or via `TUNNEL_URL` env var. Without a tunnel, the channel uses polling (~30s delay).
+
+## DM Pairing
+
+When an unknown user DMs your bot, they receive a pairing code. You must approve them before they can message the agent.
+
+### Flow
+
+1. Unknown user sends a message to your bot
+2. Bot replies: `To pair with this bot, run: ironclaw pairing approve telegram ABC12345`
+3. You run: `ironclaw pairing approve telegram ABC12345`
+4. User is added to the allow list; future messages are delivered
+
+### Commands
+
+```bash
+# List pending pairing requests
+ironclaw pairing list telegram
+
+# List as JSON
+ironclaw pairing list telegram --json
+
+# Approve a user by code
+ironclaw pairing approve telegram ABC12345
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Edit `~/.ironclaw/channels/telegram.capabilities.json` (or the config injected by the host):
+
+| Option | Values | Default | Description |
+|--------|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `dm_policy` | `open`, `allowlist`, `pairing` | `pairing` | `open` = allow all; `allowlist` = config + approved only; `pairing` = allowlist + send pairing reply to unknown |
+| `allow_from` | `["user_id", "username", "*"]` | `[]` | Pre-approved IDs/usernames. `*` allows everyone. |
+| `owner_id` | Telegram user ID | `null` | When set, only this user can message (overrides dm_policy) |
+| `bot_username` | Bot username (no @) | `null` | Used for mention detection in groups; when set, only strips this mention from messages |
+| `respond_to_all_group_messages` | `true`/`false` | `false` | When true, respond to all group messages; when false, only @mentions and /commands |
+
+## Manual Installation
+
+If the channel isn't installed via the wizard:
+
+```bash
+# Build the Telegram channel (requires wasm32-wasip2 target)
+rustup target add wasm32-wasip2
+./channels-src/telegram/build.sh
+
+# Install
+mkdir -p ~/.ironclaw/channels
+cp channels-src/telegram/telegram.wasm channels-src/telegram/telegram.capabilities.json ~/.ironclaw/channels/
+```
+
+## Secrets
+
+The channel expects a secret named `telegram_bot_token`. Configure via:
+
+- **Setup wizard**: Saves to encrypted secrets store
+- **Environment**: `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_token`
+- **Secrets store**: `ironclaw` CLI (if available)
+
+## Webhook Secret (Optional)
+
+For webhook validation, set `telegram_webhook_secret` in secrets. Telegram will send `X-Telegram-Bot-Api-Secret-Token` with each request; the host validates it before forwarding.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Messages not delivered
+
+- **Polling mode**: Check logs for `getUpdates` errors. Ensure the bot token is valid.
+- **Webhook mode**: Verify tunnel is running and `TUNNEL_URL` is correct. Telegram requires HTTPS.
+
+### Pairing code not received
+
+- Verify the channel can send messages (HTTP allowlist includes `api.telegram.org`)
+- Check `dm_policy` is `pairing` (not `allowlist` which blocks without reply)
+
+### Group mentions not working
+
+- Set `bot_username` in config to your bot's username (e.g., `MyIronClawBot`)
+- Ensure the message contains `@YourBot` or starts with `/`
+
+### "Connection refused" when starting
+
+- For webhook mode: Start your tunnel before `ironclaw run`
+- For polling only: No tunnel needed; ignore tunnel-related warnings

+//! Routine execution engine.
+//!
+//! Handles loading routines, checking triggers, enforcing guardrails,
+//! and executing both lightweight (single LLM call) and full-job routines.
+//!
+//! The engine runs two independent loops:
+//! - A **cron ticker** that polls the DB every N seconds for due cron routines
+//! - An **event matcher** called synchronously from the agent main loop
+//!
+//! Lightweight routines execute inline (single LLM call, no scheduler slot).
+//! Full-job routines are delegated to the existing `Scheduler`.

+/// - `TIMESTAMPTZ` -> `TEXT` (ISO-8601)
+/// - `JSONB` -> `TEXT` (JSON encoded)
+/// - `BYTEA` -> `BLOB`
+/// - `NUMERIC` -> `TEXT` (preserve precision for rust_decimal)
+/// - `TEXT[]` -> `TEXT` (JSON array)
+/// - `VECTOR(1536)` -> `F32_BLOB(1536)` (libsql native)
+/// - `TSVECTOR` -> FTS5 virtual table
+/// - `BIGSERIAL` -> `INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT`

+//! Database abstraction layer.
+//!
+//! Provides a backend-agnostic `Database` trait that unifies all persistence
+//! operations. Two implementations exist behind feature flags:
+//!
+//! - `postgres` (default): Uses `deadpool-postgres` + `tokio-postgres`
+//! - `libsql`: Uses libSQL (Turso's SQLite fork) for embedded/edge deployment
+//!
+//! The existing `Store`, `Repository`, `SecretsStore`, and `WasmToolStore`
+//! types become thin wrappers that delegate to `Arc<dyn Database>`.

+//! Okta WASM Tool for IronClaw.
+//!
+//! Provides user profile management, SSO app catalog browsing, and
+//! launch links for all applications under Okta single sign-on.
+//!
+//! # Setup
+//!
+//! 1. Configure OAuth2 with PKCE (see capabilities.json instructions)
+//! 2. Write your Okta domain to workspace: `memory_write(path="okta/domain", content="mycompany.okta.com")`
+//! 3. All actions read the domain from workspace automatically
+//!
+//! # Capabilities Required
+//!
+//! - HTTP: `*.okta.com/api/v1/*`, `*.okta.com/idp/myaccount/*` (GET, POST, PUT)
+//! - Secrets: `okta_oauth_token` (injected as Bearer token)
+//! - Workspace: `okta/` prefix (read-only, for domain config)
+//!
+//! # Supported Actions
+//!
+//! - `get_profile`: Fetch the current user's profile
+//! - `update_profile`: Update profile fields
+//! - `list_apps`: List all SSO apps assigned to the user
+//! - `search_apps`: Search apps by name
+//! - `get_app_sso_link`: Get the SSO launch URL for a specific app
+//! - `get_org_info`: Get organization details

+  The "cargo wix" subcommand provides a variety of predefined variables available
+  for customization of this template. The values for each variable are set at
+  installer creation time. The following variables are available:
+
+  TargetTriple      = The rustc target triple name.
+  TargetEnv         = The rustc target environment. This is typically either
+                      "msvc" or "gnu" depending on the toolchain downloaded and
+                      installed.
+  TargetVendor      = The rustc target vendor. This is typically "pc", but Rust
+                      does support other vendors, like "uwp".
+  CargoTargetBinDir = The complete path to the directory containing the
+                      binaries (exes) to include. The default would be
+                      "target\release\". If an explicit rustc target triple is
+                      used, i.e. cross-compiling, then the default path would
+                      be "target\<CARGO_TARGET>\<CARGO_PROFILE>",
+                      where "<CARGO_TARGET>" is replaced with the "CargoTarget"
+                      variable value and "<CARGO_PROFILE>" is replaced with the
+                      value from the "CargoProfile" variable. This can also
+                      be overridden manually with the "target-bin-dir" flag.
+  CargoTargetDir    = The path to the directory for the build artifacts, i.e.
+                      "target".
+  CargoProfile      = The cargo profile used to build the binaries
+                      (usually "debug" or "release").
+  Version           = The version for the installer. The default is the
+                      "Major.Minor.Fix" semantic versioning number of the Rust
+                      package.

+
+                      1. Uncomment the `Component` tag and its contents.
+                      2. Change the value for the `Source` attribute in the `File` tag to a path
+                         to the file that should be included as the license sidecar file. The path
+                         can, and probably should be, relative to this file.
+                      3. Change the value for the `Name` attribute in the `File` tag to the
+                         desired name for the file when it is installed alongside the `bin` folder
+                         in the installation directory. This can be omitted if the desired name is
+                         the same as the file name.
+                      4. Uncomment the `ComponentRef` tag with the Id attribute value of "License"
+                         further down in this file.
