fix(ci): secrets can't be used in step if conditions [skip-regression-check]

GitHub Actions step-level `if:` doesn't have access to `secrets` context.
Replace `if: secrets.X != ''` with `continue-on-error: true` and let
the Set token step handle the fallback.

+            Code review this pull request. Follow these steps precisely:
+
+            1. Use a Haiku agent to find relevant CLAUDE.md files: the root CLAUDE.md
+               and any CLAUDE.md files in directories whose files this PR modifies.
+
+            2. Use a Haiku agent to summarize the PR change (use `gh pr diff`).
+
+            3. Launch 4 parallel agents to review the change independently. Each agent should
+               read the PR diff with `gh pr diff` and the full source files for changed
+               code, then return a list of issues found:
+
+               Agent 1 — Security & Safety
+               Check for: command injection, path traversal, SSRF, XSS, auth bypass,
+               secrets in logs, .unwrap()/.expect() in production code (not tests),
+               race conditions, TOCTOU, unsafe blocks, panics in async, unbounded allocations.
+
+               Agent 2 — Architecture & Patterns
+               Check for: extensible design (traits/enums over nested conditionals),
+               clean abstractions, proper error types (thiserror), CLAUDE.md compliance,
+               type-driven design over stringly-typed code, DRY violations.
+
+               Agent 3 — Bug Scan
+               Shallow diff-only scan for obvious bugs: logic errors, off-by-one,
+               missing error handling, division by zero, incorrect return values.
+               Ignore nitpicks and likely false positives. Do NOT read extra context
+               beyond the diff — focus only on the changes.
+
+               Agent 4 — Performance & Production
+               Check for: blocking in async, N+1 queries, unbounded loops, missing
+               timeouts, resource leaks (file handles, connections), large allocations
+               in hot paths.
+
+            4. For each issue found, launch a parallel Haiku agent to:
+               a. Assign a severity:
+                  - CRITICAL: security vulns, panics in prod (.unwrap/.expect), data exfiltration, race conditions
+                  - HIGH: logic bugs, missing error handling, breaking API/schema changes
+                  - MEDIUM: missing tests, unnecessary complexity, performance issues
+                  - LOW: documentation gaps, naming suggestions
+               b. Score confidence 0-100 (give this rubric verbatim):
+                  0: False positive, doesn't stand up to scrutiny, or pre-existing issue.
+                  25: Might be real, but may be false positive. Stylistic issues not in CLAUDE.md.
+                  50: Real issue but nitpick or rare in practice. Not very important.
+                  75: Verified real issue, will be hit in practice. Directly impacts functionality
+                      or explicitly mentioned in CLAUDE.md.
+                  100: Certain, confirmed, will happen frequently. Evidence directly confirms.
+
+            5. Post a single comment on the PR using `gh pr comment` with this format.
+               If no issues were found, post "No issues found." instead:
+
+            ### Code review
+
+            Found N issues:
+
+            1. [SEVERITY:CONFIDENCE] <brief description>
+
+            <permalink to file:line using full SHA, eg https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/abc123def/src/file.rs#L10-L15>
+
+            Example: [CRITICAL:92] `.unwrap()` can panic in production when config is missing
+
+            You MUST use the full git SHA in links (not HEAD or branch name).
+            Provide 1 line of context before and after each linked range.
+
+            Notes:
+            - Use `gh` for all GitHub interactions, not web fetch
+            - Do NOT check build signal or attempt to build/test the code
+            - Ignore pre-existing issues not introduced by this PR
+            - Ignore issues a linter/compiler would catch (formatting, imports, types)

+# Code Coverage Workflow
+#
+# This workflow runs test coverage analysis and uploads reports to Codecov.
+# Coverage reports help identify untested code paths and maintain code quality.
+#
+# What it does:
+# - Runs unit and integration tests with coverage instrumentation
+# - Runs E2E tests with coverage instrumentation
+# - Uploads coverage reports to Codecov (https://codecov.io/gh/nearai/ironclaw)
+#
+# Viewing coverage reports:
+# - PRs automatically get coverage comments showing changes in coverage
+# - Visit https://codecov.io/gh/nearai/ironclaw for detailed coverage reports
+# - Coverage reports are generated for three configurations:
+#   1. all-features: Full feature set
+#   2. default: Default features
+#   3. libsql-only: Minimal libSQL-only configuration
+# - E2E coverage tracks end-to-end test coverage separately
+#
+# Coverage files:
+# - Unit/integration: lcov.info (uploaded to Codecov with "unit" flag)
+# - E2E: e2e-coverage.info (uploaded to Codecov with "e2e" flag)
+#
+# Requirements:
+# - Uses cargo-llvm-cov for coverage instrumentation
+# - Requires PostgreSQL for integration tests (pgvector/pgvector:pg16)
+# - E2E tests require Python 3.12 and Playwright

+**Regression test with every fix:** Every bug fix must include a test that would have caught the bug. Add a `#[test]` or `#[tokio::test]` that reproduces the original failure. Exempt: changes limited to `src/channels/web/static/` or `.md` files. Use `[skip-regression-check]` in commit message or PR label if genuinely not feasible. The `commit-msg` hook and CI workflow enforce this automatically.
+
 **Zero clippy warnings policy:** Fix ALL clippy warnings before committing, including pre-existing ones in files you didn't change. Never leave warnings behind — treat `cargo clippy` output as a zero-tolerance gate.
 
+**Transaction safety:** Multi-step database operations (INSERT+INSERT, UPDATE+DELETE, read-then-write) MUST be wrapped in a transaction. Never assume sequential calls are atomic. Before committing DB code, ask: "If this crashes between step N and N+1, is the database consistent?" If not, wrap in a transaction. This applies to both postgres and libsql backends.
+
+**UTF-8 string safety:** Never use byte-index slicing (`&s[..n]`) on user-supplied or external strings — it panics on multi-byte characters. Use `is_char_boundary()` to walk backwards from the desired length, or iterate with `char_indices()`. Grep for `[..` in changed files to catch violations.
+
+**Case-insensitive comparisons:** When comparing user-supplied strings (file paths, media types, extension names), always normalize to lowercase first with `.to_ascii_lowercase()`. On case-insensitive filesystems (macOS, Windows), path comparisons must be case-insensitive. File extension checks (`.png`, `.jpg`) and media type checks (`image/jpeg`) are common offenders.
+
+**Decorator/wrapper trait delegation:** When adding a new method to `LlmProvider` (or any trait with decorator wrappers), you MUST update ALL wrapper types to delegate to their inner provider. Grep for `impl LlmProvider for` to find all implementations. Add a test that exercises the method through the full provider chain (`build_provider_chain()`), not just the base impl.
+
+**Sensitive data in logs & events:** Tool parameters and outputs MUST be redacted before logging or broadcasting via SSE/WebSocket. Use `redact_params()` before any `tracing::info!`, `JobEvent`, or SSE emission that includes tool call data. Never log raw parameters from tool calls.
+
+**Test temporary files:** Use the `tempfile` crate for test directories/files. Never hardcode `/tmp/...` paths — they collide in parallel test runs and break on non-Unix platforms.
+
+**Trust boundaries in multi-process architecture:** Data from worker containers is untrusted. The orchestrator MUST validate: tool domain (never execute `Container`-domain tools on the host), nesting depth (server-side tracking, not client-supplied), and parameter sensitivity (redact before logging/broadcasting).
+
 **Mechanical verification before committing:** Run these checks on changed files before committing:
 - `cargo clippy --all --benches --tests --examples --all-features` -- zero warnings
 - `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/`
+- Fix commits must include regression tests (enforced by `commit-msg` hook; bypass with `[skip-regression-check]`)
+- Run `scripts/pre-commit-safety.sh` to catch UTF-8, case-sensitivity, hardcoded /tmp, and logging issues

 ### LLM Providers
 
-IronClaw supports multiple LLM backends via the `LLM_BACKEND` env var: `nearai` (default), `openai`, `anthropic`, `ollama`, `openai_compatible`, and `tinfoil`.
+Backends: `nearai` (default), `openai`, `anthropic`, `ollama`, `openai_compatible`, `tinfoil`, `bedrock` (requires `--features bedrock`) — set via `LLM_BACKEND`. See [src/llm/CLAUDE.md](src/llm/CLAUDE.md) for per-provider auth and configuration details.
 
-**NEAR AI** -- Uses the Chat Completions API with dual auth support. Session token auth (default): authenticates with session tokens (`sess_xxx`) obtained via browser OAuth (GitHub/Google), base URL defaults to `https://private.near.ai`. API key auth: set `NEARAI_API_KEY` (from `cloud.near.ai`), base URL defaults to `https://cloud-api.near.ai`. Both modes use the same Chat Completions endpoint. Tool messages are flattened to plain text for compatibility. Set `NEARAI_SESSION_TOKEN` env var for hosting providers that inject tokens via environment.
-
-**NEAR AI Cloud** -- Uses the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API (`https://cloud-api.near.ai/v1/chat/completions`). Authenticates with API keys from `cloud.near.ai`. Auto-selected when `NEARAI_API_KEY` is set (or explicitly via `NEARAI_API_MODE=chat_completions`). Tool messages are flattened to plain text for compatibility. Configure with `NEARAI_API_KEY` and `NEARAI_BASE_URL` (default: `https://cloud-api.near.ai`).
-
-**OpenAI-compatible** -- Any endpoint that speaks the OpenAI API (vLLM, LiteLLM, OpenRouter, etc.). Configure with `LLM_BASE_URL`, `LLM_API_KEY` (optional), `LLM_MODEL`. Set `LLM_EXTRA_HEADERS` to inject custom HTTP headers into every request (format: `Key:Value,Key2:Value2`), useful for OpenRouter attribution headers like `HTTP-Referer` and `X-Title`.
-
-**Tinfoil** -- Private inference via `https://inference.tinfoil.sh/v1`. Runs models inside hardware-attested TEEs so neither Tinfoil nor the cloud provider can see prompts or responses. Uses the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Configure with `TINFOIL_API_KEY` and `TINFOIL_MODEL` (default: `kimi-k2-5`).
+**AWS Bedrock** -- Uses the native Converse API via `aws-sdk-bedrockruntime`. Requires `--features bedrock` at build time (not included in default features due to heavy AWS SDK dependencies). Supports standard AWS auth methods: IAM credentials (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`), SSO profiles (`AWS_PROFILE`), and instance roles. Configure with `BEDROCK_REGION` (default: `us-east-1`), `BEDROCK_MODEL` (required, e.g., `anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1`), and `BEDROCK_CROSS_REGION` (optional: `us`, `eu`, `apac`, `global` for cross-region inference profiles). The SDK credential chain resolves auth automatically from the environment.
 
 ## Database
 
-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 |
+Dual-backend persistence (PostgreSQL + libSQL/Turso). **All new persistence features must support both backends** — see [src/db/CLAUDE.md](src/db/CLAUDE.md) for schema, SQL dialect differences, adding operations, and libSQL limitations.
 
+Implement every new operation in both `src/db/postgres.rs` and `src/db/libsql/mod.rs`. Test in isolation:
 ```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"
+cargo check                                          # postgres (default)
+cargo check --no-default-features --features libsql  # libsql only
+cargo check --all-features                           # both
 ```
 
-### 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
-
-**Tables (both backends):**
-
-**Core:**
-- `conversations` - Multi-channel conversation tracking
-- `agent_jobs` - Job metadata and status
-- `job_actions` - Event-sourced tool executions
-- `dynamic_tools` - Agent-built tools
-- `llm_calls` - Cost tracking
-- `estimation_snapshots` - Learning data
-
-**Workspace/Memory:**
-- `memory_documents` - Flexible path-based files (e.g., "context/vision.md", "daily/2024-01-15.md")
-- `memory_chunks` - Chunked content with FTS and vector indexes
-- `heartbeat_state` - Periodic execution tracking
-
-**Other:**
-- `routines`, `routine_runs` - Scheduled/reactive execution
-- `settings` - Per-user key-value settings
-- `tool_failures` - Self-repair tracking
-- `secrets`, `wasm_tools`, `tool_capabilities` - Extension infrastructure
-
 Database configuration: see Configuration section above.
 
-### 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.

+## Execution Priority
+
+Maximize coverage gain per unit of effort:
+
+| Order | Category | Lines Gained | Effort |
+|------:|----------|-------------:|--------|
+| 1 | Trace tests (Tier 2) | ~7,000 | Medium (high leverage, each test covers many modules) |
+| 2 | Unit tests for 0% files (Tier 1 subset) | ~3,500 | Low (pure logic, no infrastructure) |
+| 3 | Web handler tests (Tier 3) | ~4,500 | Medium (axum_test + in-memory DB) |
+| 4 | Extension/MCP/WASM unit tests (Tier 1 remainder) | ~3,500 | Medium |
+| 5 | CLI subcommand tests (Tier 4) | ~2,100 | Low-Medium |
+| 6 | Setup wizard extraction + tests (Tier 5) | ~2,400 | High (requires refactoring) |
+| 7 | LLM provider tests (Tier 1 subset) | ~800 | Medium |
+| 8 | Remaining small files (Tier 6) | ~2,000 | Low |
+
+## Notes
+
+- All trace tests require `--features libsql` and use `TestRigBuilder` from `tests/support/`
+- Web handler tests can use `axum::test` helpers or build the router directly
+- CLI tests should call handler functions directly, not shell out to the binary
+- Setup wizard tests require extracting pure logic from interactive prompts first
+- Sandbox/container tests should verify command construction, not run Docker
+- Worker tests can use `TraceLlm` for the LLM provider, same as trace tests

+
+## 设计理念
+
+IronClaw 基于一个简单的原则：**你的 AI 助手应该为你服务，而不是与你为敌。**
+
+在 AI 系统对数据处理日益不透明、与企业利益捆绑的今天，IronClaw 选择了一条不同的路：
+
+- **数据归你所有** — 所有信息存储在本地，加密保护，始终在你掌控之下
+- **透明至上** — 完全开源，可审计，没有隐藏的遥测或数据收集
+- **自主扩展** — 随时构建新工具，无需等待供应商更新
+- **纵深防御** — 多层安全机制抵御提示注入和数据泄露
+
+IronClaw 是一个你真正可以信赖的 AI 助手，无论是个人生活还是工作。
+
+## 功能特性
+
+### 安全优先
+
+- **WASM 沙箱** — 不受信任的工具在隔离的 WebAssembly 容器中运行，采用基于能力的权限模型
+- **凭据保护** — 密钥永远不会暴露给工具；在宿主边界注入并进行泄露检测
+- **提示注入防御** — 模式检测、内容清理和策略执行
+- **端点白名单** — HTTP 请求仅限于明确批准的主机和路径
+
+### 随时可用
+
+- **多渠道接入** — REPL、HTTP webhook、WASM 渠道（Telegram、Slack）和 Web 网关
+- **Docker 沙箱** — 隔离的容器执行，支持每任务令牌和编排器/工作器模式
+- **Web 网关** — 浏览器 UI，支持实时 SSE/WebSocket 流式传输
+- **定时任务** — Cron 调度、事件触发器、Webhook 处理器，实现后台自动化
+- **心跳系统** — 主动后台执行，用于监控和维护任务
+- **并行任务** — 使用隔离上下文同时处理多个请求
+- **自修复** — 自动检测并恢复卡住的操作
+
+### 自主扩展
+
+- **动态工具构建** — 描述你的需求，IronClaw 会将其构建为 WASM 工具
+- **MCP 协议** — 连接模型上下文协议（Model Context Protocol）服务器以获取额外能力
+- **插件架构** — 无需重启即可加载新的 WASM 工具和渠道
+
+### 持久记忆
+
+- **混合搜索** — 全文搜索 + 向量搜索，采用倒数排名融合（Reciprocal Rank Fusion）
+- **工作空间文件系统** — 灵活的基于路径的存储，用于笔记、日志和上下文
+- **身份文件** — 跨会话保持一致的个性和偏好设置
+
+## 安装
+
+### 前置要求
+
+- Rust 1.85+
+- PostgreSQL 15+，需安装 [pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector) 扩展
+- NEAR AI 账户（通过设置向导进行身份验证）

+
+</details>
+
+### 数据库设置
+
+```bash
+# 创建数据库
+createdb ironclaw
+
+# 启用 pgvector 扩展
+psql ironclaw -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;"
+```
+
+## 配置
+
+运行设置向导来配置 IronClaw：
+
+```bash
+ironclaw onboard
+```
+
+向导将引导你完成数据库连接、NEAR AI 身份验证（通过浏览器 OAuth）和密钥加密（使用系统钥匙串）。设置会保存在数据库中；引导变量（如 `DATABASE_URL`、`LLM_BACKEND`）写入 `~/.ironclaw/.env`，以便在数据库连接前可用。
+
+### 替代 LLM 提供商
+
+IronClaw 默认使用 NEAR AI，但兼容任何 OpenAI 兼容的端点。
+常用选项包括 **OpenRouter**（300+ 模型）、**Together AI**、**Fireworks AI**、**Ollama**（本地部署）以及自托管服务器如 **vLLM** 或 **LiteLLM**。
+
+在向导中选择 *"OpenAI-compatible"*，或直接设置环境变量：
+
+```env
+LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible
+LLM_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
+LLM_API_KEY=sk-or-...
+LLM_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+```
+
+详见 [docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md](docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md) 获取完整的提供商指南。
+
+## 安全机制
+
+IronClaw 实现了纵深防御策略来保护你的数据并防止滥用。
+
+### WASM 沙箱
+
+所有不受信任的工具都在隔离的 WebAssembly 容器中运行：
+
+- **基于能力的权限** — 明确授权 HTTP、密钥、工具调用等能力
+- **端点白名单** — HTTP 请求仅限已批准的主机和路径
+- **凭据注入** — 密钥在宿主边界注入，永远不会暴露给 WASM 代码
+- **泄露检测** — 扫描请求和响应以防止密钥外泄
+- **速率限制** — 每个工具独立的请求限制，防止滥用
+- **资源限制** — 内存、CPU 和执行时间约束
+
+```
+WASM ──► 白名单  ──► 泄露扫描 ──► 凭据  ──► 执行  ──► 泄露扫描 ──► WASM
+         验证器     (请求)      注入器    请求     (响应)
+```
+
+### 提示注入防御
+
+外部内容需通过多个安全层：
+
+- 基于模式的注入尝试检测
+- 内容清理和转义
+- 带严重级别的策略规则（阻止/警告/审核/清理）
+- 工具输出包装，确保安全的 LLM 上下文注入
+
+### 数据保护
+
+- 所有数据存储在本地 PostgreSQL 数据库中
+- 密钥使用 AES-256-GCM 加密
+- 无遥测、无分析、无数据共享
+- 所有工具执行的完整审计日志
+

+|------|------|
+| **代理循环** | 主消息处理和任务协调 |
+| **路由器** | 分类用户意图（命令、查询、任务） |
+| **调度器** | 管理带优先级的并行任务执行 |
+| **工作器** | 执行包含 LLM 推理和工具调用的任务 |
+| **编排器** | 容器生命周期、LLM 代理、每任务认证 |
+| **Web 网关** | 浏览器 UI，含聊天、记忆、任务、日志、扩展、定时任务 |
+| **定时任务引擎** | 定时（cron）和响应式（事件、webhook）后台任务 |

+
+## 使用方式
+
+```bash
+# 首次设置（配置数据库、认证等）
+ironclaw onboard
+
+# 启动交互式 REPL
+cargo run
+
+# 启用调试日志
+RUST_LOG=ironclaw=debug cargo run
+```
+
+## 开发
+
+```bash
+# 格式化代码
+cargo fmt
+
+# 代码检查
+cargo clippy --all --benches --tests --examples --all-features
+
+# 运行测试
+createdb ironclaw_test
+cargo test
+
+# 运行指定测试
+cargo test test_name
+```
+
+- **Telegram 渠道**：参见 [docs/TELEGRAM_SETUP.md](docs/TELEGRAM_SETUP.md) 了解设置和私信配对。
+- **修改渠道源码**：在 `cargo build` 之前运行 `./channels-src/telegram/build.sh` 以便打包更新后的 WASM。
+
+## OpenClaw 传承
+
+IronClaw 是受 [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) 启发的 Rust 重新实现。参见 [FEATURE_PARITY.md](FEATURE_PARITY.md) 了解完整的功能追踪矩阵。
+
+主要差异：
+
+- **Rust vs TypeScript** — 原生性能、内存安全、单一二进制文件
+- **WASM 沙箱 vs Docker** — 轻量级、基于能力的安全机制
+- **PostgreSQL vs SQLite** — 生产级持久化存储
+- **安全优先设计** — 多层防御、凭据保护

+## AWS Bedrock (requires `--features bedrock`)
+
+Uses the native AWS Converse API via `aws-sdk-bedrockruntime`. Supports standard AWS
+authentication methods: IAM credentials, SSO profiles, and instance roles.
+
+> **Build prerequisite:** The `aws-lc-sys` crate (transitive dependency via AWS SDK)
+> requires **CMake** to compile. Install it before building with `--features bedrock`:
+> - macOS: `brew install cmake`
+> - Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt install cmake`
+> - Fedora: `sudo dnf install cmake`
+
+### With AWS credentials (IAM, SSO, instance roles)
+
+```env
+LLM_BACKEND=bedrock
+BEDROCK_MODEL=anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1
+BEDROCK_REGION=us-east-1
+BEDROCK_CROSS_REGION=us
+# AWS_PROFILE=my-sso-profile   # optional, for named profiles
+```
+
+The AWS SDK credential chain automatically resolves credentials from environment
+variables (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`), shared credentials file
+(`~/.aws/credentials`), SSO profiles, and EC2/ECS instance roles.
+
+### Cross-region inference
+
+Set `BEDROCK_CROSS_REGION` to route requests across AWS regions for capacity:
+
+| Prefix | Routing |
+|---|---|
+| `us` | US regions (us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-2) |
+| `eu` | European regions |
+| `apac` | Asia-Pacific regions |

+# Smart Model Routing for IronClaw
+
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Author:** Microwave
+**Date:** 2026-02-19
+
+## What
+
+Automatic model selection based on request complexity. The router analyzes each user message and selects an appropriate model tier (flash/standard/pro/frontier), then maps that tier to a configured model.
+
+## Why
+
+1. **Cost optimization** — Simple requests ("hi", "what time is it") don't need expensive models
+2. **User experience** — Simple requests return faster with lightweight models
+3. **NEAR AI native** — Default backend uses NEAR AI inference where costs vary by model
+4. **Zero-config value** — Users benefit immediately without configuration
+5. **Not just power users** — Everyone gets smart defaults, power users can override
+
+## How
+
+### Architecture

+
+### Complexity Scorer (13 Dimensions)
+
+Each dimension produces a 0-100 score. Weighted sum determines total.
+
+| Dimension | Weight | Signals |
+|-----------|--------|---------|
+| Reasoning Words | 14% | "why", "explain", "compare", "trade-offs" |
+| Token Estimate | 12% | Prompt length |
+| Code Indicators | 10% | Backticks, syntax, "implement", "PR" |
+| Multi-Step | 10% | "first", "then", "after", "steps" |
+| Domain Specific | 10% | Technical terms (configurable) |
+| Creativity | 7% | "write", "summarize", "tweet", "blog" |
+| Question Complexity | 7% | Multiple questions, open-ended starters |
+| Precision | 6% | Numbers, "exactly", "calculate" |
+| Ambiguity | 5% | Vague references |
+| Context Dependency | 5% | "previous", "you said" |
+| Sentence Complexity | 5% | Commas, conjunctions, clause depth |
+| Tool Likelihood | 5% | "read", "deploy", "install" |
+| Safety Sensitivity | 4% | "password", "auth", "vulnerability" |
+
+**Multi-dimensional boost:** +30% when 3+ dimensions score above threshold.
+
+### Tier Boundaries
+
+| Score | Tier | Typical Use Case |
+|-------|------|------------------|
+| 0-15 | flash | Greetings, acknowledgments, quick lookups |
+| 16-40 | standard | Writing, comparisons, defined tasks |
+| 41-65 | pro | Multi-step analysis, code review |
+| 66+ | frontier | Critical decisions, security audits |
+
+### Pattern Overrides
+
+Fast-path rules that bypass scoring for obvious cases:
+
+```yaml
+# Force flash tier
+- "^(hi|hello|hey|thanks|ok|sure|yes|no)$"
+- "^what.*(time|date|day)"
+
+# Force frontier tier
+- "security.*(audit|review|scan)"
+- "vulnerabilit(y|ies).*(review|scan|check|audit)"
+
+# Force pro tier
+- "deploy.*(mainnet|production)"
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+> **Note:** The current implementation supports smart routing via
+> `NEARAI_CHEAP_MODEL` and `SMART_ROUTING_CASCADE` env vars, plus
+> `domain_keywords` on `SmartRoutingConfig`. The full `llm.routing` YAML
+> schema below is the target design — not all knobs are wired yet.
+
+**Default (zero-config):**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  routing:
+    enabled: true  # default
+```
+
+**Power user overrides (target schema):**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  routing:
+    enabled: true
+    tiers:
+      flash: "claude-3-5-haiku-latest"
+      standard: "claude-sonnet-4-5-latest"
+      pro: "claude-sonnet-4-5-latest"
+      frontier: "claude-opus-4-5-latest"
+    thinking:
+      pro: "low"
+      frontier: "medium"
+    overrides:
+      - pattern: "my-custom-pattern"
+        tier: "pro"
+    domain_keywords:  # Custom keywords for your domain
+      - "mycompany"
+      - "myproduct"
+      - "internal-tool"
+```
+
+If `domain_keywords` is not set, uses `DEFAULT_DOMAIN_KEYWORDS` which covers common web3/infra terms.
+
+**Disable routing (pin model):**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  routing:
+    enabled: false
+  model: "claude-opus-4-5"
+```
+
+**Bring your own keys:**
+```yaml
+llm:
+  backend: anthropic
+  api_key: "sk-..."
+  routing:
+    enabled: true  # still works with external providers
+```
+
+### Integration Points
+
+1. **RoutingProvider** — New wrapper implementing `LlmProvider` trait (like `FailoverProvider`)
+2. **Scorer** — Pure function, no I/O, fast (~1ms)
+3. **Config schema** — Extend `LlmConfig` with `routing` section
+4. **Telemetry** — Log routing decisions for observability
+
+### Model Agnosticism
+
+**Critical:** No hardcoded model names in the router logic itself.
+
+- Tier→model mappings come from config
+- Default mappings use `-latest` patterns where supported
+- NEAR AI backend handles actual model resolution
+- Router only knows about tiers
+
+### Layers of Control
+
+| Layer | User Type | Config |
+|-------|-----------|--------|
+| 1. Zero-config | Everyone | `routing.enabled: true` (default) |
+| 2. Tier tuning | Power users | Custom `routing.tiers` mapping |
+| 3. Pattern overrides | Power users | Custom `routing.overrides` |
+| 4. Model pinning | Power users | `routing.enabled: false` + `model: X` |
+| 5. Own API keys | Power users | `backend: anthropic` + `api_key` |
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. [x] Port scorer to Rust (`src/llm/smart_routing.rs`)
+2. [x] Implement router wrapper (`src/llm/smart_routing.rs`)
+3. [x] Extend config schema (`src/config.rs`)
+4. [x] Wire into provider creation (`src/llm/mod.rs`)
+5. [x] Add telemetry/logging
+6. [x] Tests with real conversation samples
+7. [x] Codex + Gemini security review
+8. [x] Documentation updated (this spec)
+
+## Expected Outcomes
+
+- **50-70% cost reduction** for typical usage patterns
+- **Faster responses** for simple requests
+- **Zero config required** for default benefits
+- **Full control** for power users who want it

+
+# Local Testing with Docker + Chrome MCP
+
+Use this skill to build, run, and test IronClaw web gateway changes locally using `Dockerfile.test` and Chrome MCP browser automation tools.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Build the test image (libsql-only, no PostgreSQL needed)
+docker build --platform linux/amd64 -f Dockerfile.test -t ironclaw-test .
+
+# Run on port 3003 (default)
+docker run --rm -p 3003:3003 \
+  -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true \
+  -e CLI_ENABLED=false \
+  -e NEARAI_API_KEY=<key> \
+  ironclaw-test
+
+# Open in browser
+# http://localhost:3003/?token=test
+```
+
+## Building the Image
+
+The test Dockerfile uses a two-stage build: Rust compilation with `--features libsql` (no PostgreSQL dependency), then a minimal Debian runtime image.
+
+```bash
+docker build --platform linux/amd64 -f Dockerfile.test -t ironclaw-test .
+```
+
+Build takes ~5-10 minutes on first run (cached subsequent builds are faster). The `--platform linux/amd64` flag avoids QEMU warnings on Apple Silicon but can be omitted if targeting native architecture.
+
+## Running Containers
+
+### Required Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Purpose | Default in Dockerfile |
+|----------|---------|----------------------|
+| `ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true` | Skip onboarding wizard (exits immediately otherwise) | not set |
+| `CLI_ENABLED=false` | Disable TUI/REPL (causes EOF shutdown otherwise) | not set |
+
+### LLM Backend Configuration
+
+Pick ONE of these configurations:
+
+**NEAR AI (API key mode):**
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 3003:3003 \
+  -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true \
+  -e CLI_ENABLED=false \
+  -e NEARAI_API_KEY=<your-key> \
+  ironclaw-test
+```
+
+**NEAR AI (session token mode):**
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 3003:3003 \
+  -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true \
+  -e CLI_ENABLED=false \
+  -e NEARAI_SESSION_TOKEN=<sess_xxx> \
+  -e NEARAI_BASE_URL=https://private.near.ai \
+  ironclaw-test
+```
+
+**OpenAI:**
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 3003:3003 \
+  -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true \
+  -e CLI_ENABLED=false \
+  -e LLM_BACKEND=openai \
+  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-key> \
+  ironclaw-test
+```
+
+**Anthropic:**
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 3003:3003 \
+  -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true \
+  -e CLI_ENABLED=false \
+  -e LLM_BACKEND=anthropic \
+  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your-key> \
+  ironclaw-test
+```
+
+**Dummy run (no LLM, just test the UI loads):**
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 3003:3003 \
+  -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true \
+  -e CLI_ENABLED=false \
+  -e NEARAI_API_KEY=dummy \
+  ironclaw-test
+```
+
+### Common Overrides
+
+| Variable | Purpose | Example |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `GATEWAY_PORT` | Change the listen port | `3003` (default) |
+| `GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN` | Auth token for API | `test` (default) |
+| `NEARAI_MODEL` | Override LLM model | `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` |
+| `RUST_LOG` | Logging verbosity | `ironclaw=debug` |
+| `ROUTINES_ENABLED` | Enable routines | `true`/`false` |
+| `SKILLS_ENABLED` | Enable skills system | `true` (default) |
+
+### Multi-Instance Testing
+
+Run multiple containers on different host ports:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -d --name ic-test-a -p 3003:3003 -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true -e CLI_ENABLED=false -e NEARAI_API_KEY=dummy ironclaw-test
+docker run --rm -d --name ic-test-b -p 3004:3003 -e ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true -e CLI_ENABLED=false -e NEARAI_API_KEY=dummy ironclaw-test
+```
+
+## Chrome MCP Testing Workflow
+
+Use the Claude for Chrome browser automation tools to test the web UI.
+
+### Step 1: Get Browser Context
+
+```
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_context_mcp
+```
+
+Always start here to see current tabs and get fresh tab IDs.
+
+### Step 2: Open the Gateway
+
+```
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp  url=http://localhost:3003/?token=test
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify the Page
+
+```
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_page
+```
+
+Check for:
+- "Connected" indicator in top-right
+- All tabs visible: Chat, Memory, Jobs, Routines, Extensions, Skills
+
+### Step 4: Take Screenshots
+
+```
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer  action=screenshot
+```
+
+### Step 5: Test Mobile Viewport
+
+```
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__resize_window  width=375  height=812
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer  action=screenshot
+```
+
+Reset to desktop:
+```
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__resize_window  width=1280  height=800
+```
+
+### Step 6: Run JavaScript Checks
+
+```
+mcp__claude-in-chrome__javascript_tool  script="document.querySelector('.connection-status')?.textContent"
+```
+
+### Step 7: Test Interactions
+
+Click tabs, send messages, search skills — use `computer` tool with `action=click` and coordinate-based clicks, or use `find` + `form_input` for text entry.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# Stop a specific container
+docker stop ic-test-a
+
+# Stop all test containers
+docker ps --filter ancestor=ironclaw-test -q | xargs -r docker stop
+
+# Remove the test image
+docker rmi ironclaw-test
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Container exits immediately
+- **Missing `ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true`**: The onboarding wizard tries to read stdin, gets EOF, and exits.
+- **Missing `CLI_ENABLED=false`**: The REPL channel reads stdin, gets EOF, and shuts down the agent.
+
+### "Model not found" or LLM errors
+- Check that your API key/token is valid and the model name is correct.
+- For NEAR AI session token mode, you also need `NEARAI_BASE_URL=https://private.near.ai`.
+
+### Platform mismatch warnings on Apple Silicon
+- The `--platform linux/amd64` flag causes QEMU emulation warnings — these are harmless.
+- Alternatively, omit the flag and build natively if your dependencies support ARM64.
+
+### Port already in use
+- The dev server defaults to port 3001; the test Dockerfile defaults to 3003 to avoid conflicts.
+- Use a different host port: `-p 3005:3003`.
+
+### Cannot connect from browser
+- Verify `GATEWAY_HOST=0.0.0.0` (set by default in Dockerfile).
+- Check the container logs: `docker logs <container-id>`.
+- Make sure you include the token query param: `?token=test`.

+# Pre-Merge Review Checklist
+
+Before merging, verify these items. They represent the most common issues caught by automated code reviewers (Copilot, Gemini) on IronClaw PRs.
+
+## Database Operations
+- [ ] Multi-step DB operations are wrapped in transactions (INSERT+INSERT, UPDATE+DELETE, read-modify-write)
+- [ ] Both postgres AND libsql backends updated for any new Database trait methods
+- [ ] Migrations are atomic (SQL execution + version recording in same transaction)
+
+## Security & Data Safety
+- [ ] Tool parameters are redacted via `redact_params()` before logging or SSE/WebSocket broadcast
+- [ ] URL validation resolves DNS before checking for private/loopback IPs (anti-SSRF via DNS rebinding)
+- [ ] Destructive tools have `requires_approval()` returning `Always` or `UnlessAutoApproved`
+- [ ] Data from worker containers is treated as untrusted (tool domain checks, server-side nesting depth)
+- [ ] No secrets or credentials in error messages, logs, or SSE events
+
+## String Safety
+- [ ] No byte-index slicing (`&s[..n]`) on external/user strings -- use `is_char_boundary()` or `char_indices()`
+- [ ] File extension and media type comparisons are case-insensitive (`.to_ascii_lowercase()` before matching)
+- [ ] Path comparisons are case-insensitive where needed (macOS/Windows filesystems)
+
+## Trait Wrappers & Decorator Chain
+- [ ] New `LlmProvider` trait methods are delegated in ALL wrapper types (grep `impl LlmProvider for`)
+- [ ] New trait methods are tested through the full decorator/provider chain, not just the base impl
+- [ ] Default trait method implementations are intentional -- wrappers that silently return defaults are bugs
+
+## Tests
+- [ ] Temporary files/dirs use `tempfile` crate, no hardcoded `/tmp/` paths
+- [ ] Tests don't mutate global statics without synchronization (use per-test state or `serial_test`)
+- [ ] Tests don't make real network requests (use mocks, stubs, or RFC 5737 TEST-NET IPs like 192.0.2.1)
+- [ ] Test names and comments match actual test behavior and assertions
+
+## Comments & Documentation
+- [ ] Code comments match actual behavior (especially route paths, tool names, function semantics)
+- [ ] Spec/README files updated if module behavior changed
+- [ ] Error messages are clear and non-redundant (don't nest tool name inside tool error that already contains it)

+# Agent Module
+
+Core agent logic. This is the most complex subsystem — read this before working in `src/agent/`.
+
+## Module Map
+
+| File | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `agent_loop.rs` | `Agent` struct, `AgentDeps`, main `run()` event loop. Delegates to siblings. |
+| `dispatcher.rs` | Agentic loop for conversational turns: LLM call → tool execution → repeat. Injects skill context. Returns `Response` or `NeedApproval`. |
+| `thread_ops.rs` | Thread/session operations: `process_user_input`, undo/redo, approval, auth-mode interception, DB hydration, compaction. |
+| `commands.rs` | System command handlers (`/help`, `/model`, `/status`, `/skills`, etc.) and job intent handlers. |
+| `session.rs` | Data model: `Session` → `Thread` → `Turn`. State machines for threads and turns. |
+| `session_manager.rs` | Lifecycle: create/lookup sessions, map external thread IDs to internal UUIDs, prune stale sessions, manage undo managers. |
+| `router.rs` | Routes explicit `/commands` to `MessageIntent`. Natural language bypasses the router entirely. |
+| `scheduler.rs` | Parallel job scheduling. Maintains `jobs` map (full LLM-driven) and `subtasks` map (tool-exec/background). |
+| `worker.rs` | Per-job execution for background scheduler jobs: calls LLM, runs tools, handles the reasoning loop. Distinct from `dispatcher.rs`. |
+| `compaction.rs` | Context window management: summarize old turns, write to workspace daily log, trim context. Three strategies. |
+| `context_monitor.rs` | Detects memory pressure. Suggests `CompactionStrategy` based on usage level. |
+| `self_repair.rs` | Detects stuck jobs and broken tools, attempts recovery. |
+| `heartbeat.rs` | Proactive periodic execution. Reads `HEARTBEAT.md`, notifies via channel if findings. |
+| `submission.rs` | Parses all user submissions into typed variants before routing. |
+| `undo.rs` | Turn-based undo/redo with checkpoints. Checkpoints store message lists (max 20 by default). |
+| `routine.rs` | `Routine` types: `Trigger` (cron/event/webhook/manual) + `RoutineAction` (lightweight/full_job) + `RoutineGuardrails`. |
+| `routine_engine.rs` | Cron ticker and event matcher. Fires routines when triggers match. Lightweight runs inline; full_job dispatches to `Scheduler`. |
+| `task.rs` | Task types for the scheduler: `Job`, `ToolExec`, `Background`. Used by `spawn_subtask` and `spawn_batch`. |
+| `cost_guard.rs` | LLM spend and action-rate enforcement. Tracks daily budget (cents) and hourly call rate. Lives in `AgentDeps`. |
+| `job_monitor.rs` | Subscribes to SSE broadcast and injects Claude Code (container) output back into the agent loop as `IncomingMessage`. |
+
+## Session / Thread / Turn Model
+
+```
+Session (per user)
+└── Thread (per conversation — can have many)
+    └── Turn (per request/response pair)
+        ├── user_input: String
+        ├── response: Option<String>
+        ├── tool_calls: Vec<ToolCall>
+        └── state: TurnState (Pending | Running | Complete | Failed)
+```
+
+- A session has one **active thread** at a time; threads can be switched.
+- Turns are append-only. Undo rolls back by restoring a prior checkpoint (message list, not a full thread snapshot).
+- `UndoManager` is per-thread, stored in `SessionManager`, not on `Session` itself. Max 20 checkpoints (oldest dropped when exceeded).
+- Group chat detection: if `metadata.chat_type` is `group`/`channel`/`supergroup`, `MEMORY.md` is excluded from the system prompt to prevent leaking personal context.
+- **Auth mode**: if a thread has `pending_auth` set (e.g. from `tool_auth` returning `awaiting_token`), the next user message is intercepted before any turn creation, logging, or safety validation and sent directly to the credential store. Any control submission (undo, interrupt, etc.) cancels auth mode.
+- `ThreadState` values: `Idle`, `Processing`, `AwaitingApproval`, `Completed`, `Interrupted`.
+- `SessionManager` maps `(user_id, channel, external_thread_id)` → internal UUID. Prunes idle sessions every 10 minutes (warns at 1000 sessions).
+
+## Agentic Loop (dispatcher.rs)
+
+The `dispatcher.rs` module handles **direct conversational turns** (user messages processed inline by the main agent). Background scheduler jobs use `worker.rs` instead — these are two separate execution paths.
+
+```
+run_agentic_loop()  [dispatcher.rs — conversational turns]
+  1. Load workspace system prompt (identity files: AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, etc.)
+  2. Detect group chat from metadata; exclude MEMORY.md if group chat
+  3. Select active skills (keyword/pattern scoring against message content)
+  4. Build skill context block (injected before user message)
+  5. LLM call → text response OR tool calls
+  6. If tool calls:
+     a. Check tool approval (session auto-approvals, pending approval queue)
+     b. Execute tools (parallel via JoinSet)
+     c. Sanitize results through SafetyLayer
+     d. Feed results back → goto 5
+  7. Return AgenticLoopResult::Response or NeedApproval
+```
+
+**Tool approval:** Tools flagged `requires_approval` pause the loop and return `NeedApproval`. The web gateway stores the `PendingApproval` in session state and sends an `approval_needed` SSE event. The user's approval/deny resumes the loop.
+
+**worker.rs vs dispatcher.rs:** `dispatcher.rs` runs the agentic loop for user-initiated conversational turns (holds session lock, tracks turns). `worker.rs` is spawned by the `Scheduler` for background jobs created via `CreateJob` / `/job` — it runs independently of the session and has its own LLM reasoning loop with planning support (`use_planning` flag).
+
+## Command Routing (router.rs)
+
+The `Router` handles explicit `/commands` (prefix `/`). It parses them into `MessageIntent` variants: `CreateJob`, `CheckJobStatus`, `CancelJob`, `ListJobs`, `HelpJob`, `Command`. Natural language messages bypass the router entirely — they go directly to `dispatcher.rs` via `process_user_input`. Note: most user-facing commands (undo, compact, etc.) are handled by `SubmissionParser` before the router runs, so `Router` only sees unrecognized `/xxx` patterns that haven't already been claimed by `submission.rs`.
+
+## Compaction
+
+Triggered by `ContextMonitor` when token usage approaches the model's context limit.
+
+**Token estimation**: Word-count × 1.3 + 4 overhead per message. Default context limit: 100,000 tokens. Compaction threshold: 80% (configurable).
+
+Three strategies, chosen by `ContextMonitor.suggest_compaction()` based on usage ratio:
+- **MoveToWorkspace** — Writes full turn transcript to workspace daily log, keeps 10 recent turns. Used when usage is 80–85% (moderate). Falls back to `Truncate(5)` if no workspace.
+- **Summarize** (`keep_recent: N`) — LLM generates a summary of old turns, writes it to workspace daily log (`daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md`), removes old turns. Used when usage is 85–95%.
+- **Truncate** (`keep_recent: N`) — Removes oldest turns without summarization (fast path). Used when usage >95% (critical).
+
+If the LLM call for summarization fails, the error propagates — turns are **not** truncated on failure.
+
+Manual trigger: user sends `/compact` (parsed by `submission.rs`).
+
+## Scheduler
+
+`Scheduler` maintains two maps under `Arc<RwLock<HashMap>>`:
+- `jobs` — full LLM-driven jobs, each with a `Worker` and an `mpsc` channel for `WorkerMessage` (`Start`, `Stop`, `Ping`, `UserMessage`).
+- `subtasks` — lightweight `ToolExec` or `Background` tasks spawned via `spawn_subtask()` / `spawn_batch()`.
+
+**Preferred entry point**: `dispatch_job()` — creates context, optionally sets metadata, persists to DB (so FK references from `job_actions`/`llm_calls` are valid immediately), then calls `schedule()`. Don't call `schedule()` directly unless you've already persisted.
+
+Check-insert is done under a single write lock to prevent TOCTOU races. A cleanup task polls every second for job completion and removes the entry from the map.
+
+`spawn_subtask()` returns a `oneshot::Receiver` — callers must await it to get the result. `spawn_batch()` runs all tasks concurrently and returns results in input order.
+
+## Self-Repair
+
+`DefaultSelfRepair` runs on `repair_check_interval` (from `AgentConfig`). It:
+1. Calls `ContextManager::find_stuck_jobs()` to find jobs in `JobState::Stuck`.
+2. Attempts `ctx.attempt_recovery()` (transitions back to `InProgress`).
+3. Returns `ManualRequired` if `repair_attempts >= max_repair_attempts`.
+4. Detects broken tools via `store.get_broken_tools(5)` (threshold: 5 failures). Requires `with_store()` to be called; returns empty without a store.
+5. Attempts to rebuild broken tools via `SoftwareBuilder`. Requires `with_builder()` to be called; returns `ManualRequired` without a builder.
+
+Note: the `stuck_threshold` duration is stored but currently unused (marked `#[allow(dead_code)]`). Stuck detection relies on `JobState::Stuck` being set by the state machine, not wall-clock time comparison.
+
+Repair results: `Success`, `Retry`, `Failed`, `ManualRequired`. `Retry` does NOT notify the user (to avoid spam).
+
+## Key Invariants
+
+- Never call `.unwrap()` or `.expect()` — use `?` with proper error mapping.
+- All state mutations on `Session`/`Thread` happen under `Arc<Mutex<Session>>` lock.
+- The agent loop is single-threaded per thread; parallel execution happens at the job/scheduler level.
+- Skills are selected **deterministically** (no LLM call) — see `skills/selector.rs`.
+- Tool results pass through `SafetyLayer` before returning to LLM (sanitizer → validator → policy → leak detector).
+- `SessionManager` uses double-checked locking for session creation. Read lock first (fast path), then write lock with re-check to prevent duplicate sessions.
+- `Scheduler.schedule()` holds the write lock for the entire check-insert sequence — don't hold any other locks when calling it.
+- `cheap_llm` in `AgentDeps` is used for heartbeat and other lightweight tasks. Falls back to main `llm` if `None`. Use `agent.cheap_llm()` accessor, not `deps.cheap_llm` directly.
+- `CostGuard.check_allowed()` must be called **before** LLM calls; `record_llm_call()` must be called **after**. Both calls are separate — the guard does not auto-record.
+- `BeforeInbound` and `BeforeOutbound` hooks run for every user message and agent response respectively. Hooks can modify content or reject. Hook errors are logged but **fail-open** (processing continues).

+**`SystemCommand` vs control**: `SystemCommand` variants bypass thread-state checks entirely (no session lock, no turn creation). `Quit` returns `Ok(None)` from `handle_message` which breaks the main loop.
+
+## Adding a New Submission Command
+
+Submissions are special messages parsed in `submission.rs` before the agentic loop runs. To add a new one:
+1. Add a variant to `Submission` enum in `submission.rs`
+2. Add parsing in `SubmissionParser::parse()`
+3. Handle in `agent_loop.rs` where `SubmissionResult` is matched (the `match submission { ... }` block in `handle_message`)
+4. Implement the handler method (usually in `thread_ops.rs` for session operations, or `commands.rs` for system commands)
