+# PR Shepherd
+
+Full PR lifecycle: review → fix → quality gate → push → CI → merge.
+
+Parse `$ARGUMENTS`:
+- Extract PR number from bare number or `https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123` URL.
+- Flags: `--fix` (auto-fix without asking), `--merge` (merge when CI green), `--review-only` (stop after review, don't fix).
+- If no PR number, detect from current branch: `gh pr list --head $(git branch --show-current) --json number --jq '.[0].number'`
+- If still nothing, stop and ask the user.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Situational Awareness
+
+Gather everything in parallel:
+
+**PR metadata:**
+```
+gh pr view {number} --json number,title,body,author,baseRefName,headRefName,headRefOid,state,isDraft,mergeable,mergeStateStatus,files,additions,deletions,labels,reviewRequests
+```
+
+**Diff:**
+```
+gh pr diff {number}
+gh pr diff {number} --name-only
+```
+
+**CI status:**
+```
+gh pr checks {number} --json name,status,conclusion,detailsUrl
+```
+
+**Review comments (human + bot):**
+```
+gh api --paginate repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments
+gh api --paginate repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/reviews
+```
+
+Resolve `{owner}/{repo}`:
+```
+gh repo view --json owner,name --jq '"\(.owner.login)/\(.name)"'
+```
+
+Save `headRefOid` — needed for posting line comments later.
+
+**Assess the situation and print a status card:**
+
+```
+PR #{number}: {title}
+Author: {author}    Base: {base} ← {head}
+Size: +{additions} -{deletions} across {file_count} files
+CI: {PASS|FAIL|PENDING|NONE}    Mergeable: {yes|no|conflict}
+Reviews: {N approved, N changes_requested, N comments-only, N bot-only}
+Unresolved comments: {N}
+Draft: {yes|no}
+```
+
+**Decide the mode** based on situation:
+- **Has unresolved review comments** → Phase 2a (address comments first, then review remaining)
+- **No reviews yet / bot-only reviews** → Phase 2b (full deep review)
+- **CI failing, no review issues** → Phase 4 (jump to CI fix)
+- **Everything green + approved** → Phase 6 (ready to merge)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2a: Address Existing Review Comments
+
+For each unresolved review comment or review with CHANGES_REQUESTED:
+
+1. **Read the referenced code** at the file and line mentioned. Never assess without reading.
+2. **Classify each comment:**
+   - ✅ **Valid & unresolved** — needs a code fix
+   - ✅ **Already fixed** — a later commit addressed it
+   - ❌ **False positive** — explain why the code is correct
+   - 🔧 **Nit** — optional improvement, not blocking
+
+3. **Deduplicate** — bots (Copilot, Gemini) often post the same finding. Group by actual issue.
+
+Present a table:
+
+| # | Source | File:Line | Issue | Status | Planned Fix |
+|---|--------|-----------|-------|--------|-------------|
+
+Wait for user confirmation (unless `--fix` flag set), then proceed to Phase 3.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2b: Deep Review (6 Lenses)
+
+Read EVERY changed file in full (not just diff hunks). For PRs touching >20 files, prioritize: service logic > handlers > types > tests > docs. Batch reads in parallel via Agent tool.
+
+### IronClaw-specific checks (always)
+- No `.unwrap()` or `.expect()` in production code
+- Prefer `crate::` for cross-module imports (`super::` OK in tests/intra-module)
+- Error types use `thiserror`
+- If persistence touched, both backends updated (postgres.rs AND libsql/)
+- New tools implement `Tool` trait correctly and registered
+- External tool output passes through safety layer
+- Tool parameters redacted before logging/SSE
+- No byte-index slicing on external strings
+- Case-insensitive comparisons where needed
+
+### Correctness
+Off-by-one, wrong operators, inverted conditions, unreachable code, type confusion, error propagation, broken invariants, TOCTOU races.
+
+### Edge cases & failure handling
+Empty/None/zero-length input, external service failures, integer boundaries, malformed/adversarial input, partial failure handling.
+
+### Security (assume adversarial actors)
+Auth/authz bypass, IDOR, injection (SQL/command/log/header), data leakage in logs/errors/API responses, resource exhaustion, replay/race conditions.
+
+### Test coverage
+New public functions tested? Error paths tested? Edge cases covered? Existing tests still valid?
+
+### Architecture
+Follows existing patterns? Unnecessary abstractions? Duplicated logic? Clean module dependencies?
+
+**Present findings as a table:**
+
+| # | Severity | Category | File:Line | Finding | Suggested Fix |
+|---|----------|----------|-----------|---------|---------------|
+
+Severity: Critical > High > Medium > Low > Nit
+
+If `--review-only` flag is set, post findings as GitHub comments (see Phase 2c) and STOP.
+
+Otherwise, ask which findings to fix (default: all Critical + High + Medium). Then proceed to Phase 3.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2c: Post Review Comments on GitHub
+
+For each finding the user approved (or all Critical/High/Medium if `--fix`):
+
+**Line-specific findings** — post as PR review comments:
+```
+gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments \
+  -f body="**{Severity}**: {finding}\n\n{explanation}\n\n**Suggested fix:** {suggestion}" \
+  -f path="{file}" \
+  -f commit_id="{headRefOid}" \
+  -F line={line} \
+  -f side="RIGHT"
+```
+
+**Cross-cutting/architectural findings** — post as regular PR comment:
+```
+gh pr comment {number} --body "..."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Fix
+
+Checkout the PR branch if not already on it (handles fork PRs automatically):
+```
+gh pr checkout {number}
+```
+
+**Implement fixes** for:
+1. All approved review comment fixes (from Phase 2a)
+2. All approved review findings (from Phase 2b)
+
+Follow IronClaw conventions:
+- `thiserror` for errors
+- `crate::` imports
+- No `.unwrap()` in production
+- Both DB backends if persistence touched
+- Regression test for every bug fix (enforced by commit-msg hook; bypass only with `[skip-regression-check]` if genuinely not feasible)
+
+After all fixes implemented, proceed to Phase 4.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Quality Gate
+
+Run the full IronClaw shipping checklist:
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt
+```
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy --all --benches --tests --examples --all-features
+```
+
+```bash
+cargo test --lib
+```
+
+If persistence changes are present, also verify feature isolation:
+```bash
+cargo check --no-default-features --features libsql
+cargo check --all-features
+```
+
+**If any step fails:** fix the issue and re-run. Do NOT proceed past a failing step. Loop up to 3 times per step. If still failing after 3 attempts, report the failure and stop.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Commit & Push
+
+Stage changed files by name (never `git add -A` — it can include unintended files):
+```bash
+git add path/to/changed/file1 path/to/changed/file2
+git commit -m "{message}"
+```
+
+Commit message format:
+- For review fixes: `fix: address review findings on PR #{number}`
+- For comment responses: `fix: address review comments on PR #{number}`
+- For CI fixes: `fix: resolve CI failures on PR #{number}`
+- Include specifics in the body (which findings/comments were addressed)
+
+Push:
+```bash
+git push origin {headRefName}
+```
+
+**Reply to addressed review comments on GitHub.** For each comment that was fixed, reply with the commit SHA and a brief description of what was done. For false positives, reply explaining why no change was needed.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: CI Monitor & Fix Loop
+
+Wait briefly for CI to start, then poll (do NOT use `--watch` as it can hang indefinitely):
+```
+gh pr checks {number} --json name,status,conclusion
+```
+
+Re-check every 30 seconds, up to 10 minutes. If still pending after 10 minutes, report status and ask the user whether to keep waiting.
+
+**If CI passes** → proceed to Phase 7.
+
+**If CI fails** (up to 3 fix attempts):
+
+1. Identify the failing check:
+   ```
+   gh run view {run_id} --log-failed
+   ```
+   If `--log-failed` shows nothing useful:
+   ```
+   gh run view {run_id} --log | tail -100
+   ```
+
+2. Diagnose and fix the failure.
+3. Re-run Phase 4 (quality gate).
+4. Commit and push (Phase 5).
+5. Go back to top of Phase 6.
+
+**After 3 failed CI fix attempts:** Report what's failing and why, then stop. Don't keep looping.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7: Merge Decision
+
+Print final status:
+```
+PR #{number}: {title}
+CI: ✅ PASS
+Reviews: {summary}
+Findings fixed: {N}
+Comments addressed: {N}
+Commits added: {N}
+```
+
+**Auto-merge conditions** (if `--merge` flag or user confirms):
+- CI is passing
+- No unresolved CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews
+- PR is not draft
+- PR is mergeable (no conflicts)
+
+If all conditions met, ask the user for merge strategy:
+
+"CI is green. Merge this PR? [squash/rebase/merge/no]"
+
+Then execute:
+```
+gh pr merge {number} --{strategy} --delete-branch
+```
+
+If any condition NOT met, report what's blocking and let the user decide.
+
+---
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Read before judging.** Never comment on code you haven't read in full. Verify line numbers.
+- **Be specific.** "Line 42 returns 404 but should return 400 because X" not "this might have issues."
+- **Fix the pattern, not just the instance.** When fixing a bug, grep for the same pattern across `src/`.
+- **Respect the commit-msg hook.** Bug fixes need regression tests. Use `[skip-regression-check]` only if genuinely not feasible.
+- **Don't over-fix.** Only change what was flagged. Don't refactor surrounding code or add improvements beyond the review scope.
+- **Credit original authors.** If taking over someone else's PR, credit them in commits and comments.
+- **No secrets in comments.** Never include customer data, credentials, or PII in GitHub comments.
+- **Distinguish certainty.** "This IS a bug" vs "This COULD be a bug if X." Be honest.
+- **Round up severity when uncertain.** Cheaper to dismiss a false alarm than miss a real bug.
+- **Parallel where possible.** Use Agent tool for parallel file reads on large PRs. Batch `gh api` calls.

+Dual-backend persistence: PostgreSQL + libSQL/Turso. **All new persistence features must support both backends.**
+
+See `src/db/CLAUDE.md` for full schema, dialect differences, and libSQL limitations.
+
+## Adding a New Operation
+
+1. Decide which sub-trait it belongs to (`ConversationStore`, `JobStore`, `SandboxStore`, `RoutineStore`, `ToolFailureStore`, `SettingsStore`, `WorkspaceStore`) or create a new one
+2. Add the async method signature to that sub-trait in `src/db/mod.rs`
+3. Implement in `src/db/postgres.rs` (delegate to `Store`/`Repository`)
+4. Implement in `src/db/libsql/<module>.rs` (use `self.connect().await?` per operation)
+5. Add migration if needed:
+   - PostgreSQL: new `migrations/VN__description.sql`
+   - libSQL: add `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` to `libsql_migrations.rs`
+6. Test feature isolation:
+   ```bash
+   cargo check                                          # postgres (default)
+   cargo check --no-default-features --features libsql  # libsql only
+   cargo check --all-features                           # both
+   ```
+
+## SQL Dialect Translation Checklist
+
+When writing SQL for both backends, translate these types:
+
+| PostgreSQL | libSQL |
+|-----------|--------|
+| `UUID` | `TEXT` |
+| `TIMESTAMPTZ` | `TEXT` (ISO-8601, write with `fmt_ts()`, read with `get_ts()`) |
+| `JSONB` | `TEXT` (JSON string) |
+| `BOOLEAN` | `INTEGER` (0/1 -- use `get_i64(row, idx) != 0` to read) |
+| `NUMERIC` | `TEXT` (preserves `rust_decimal` precision) |
+| `TEXT[]` | `TEXT` (JSON-encoded array) |
+| `VECTOR` | `BLOB` (flexible dimensions; vector index dropped, brute-force search fallback) |
+| `jsonb_set(col, '{key}', val)` | `json_patch(col, '{"key": val}')` -- replaces top-level keys entirely, cannot do partial nested updates |
+| `DEFAULT NOW()` | `DEFAULT (datetime('now'))` |
+| `tsvector` + `ts_rank_cd` | FTS5 virtual table + sync triggers |
+
+## Schema Translation Beyond DDL
+
+Don't just translate `CREATE TABLE`. Also check:
+- **Indexes** -- diff `CREATE INDEX` statements between backends
+- **Seed data** -- check for `INSERT INTO` in migrations (e.g., `leak_detection_patterns`)
+- **Triggers** -- PostgreSQL functions vs SQLite triggers (no stored procs in SQLite)
+
+## Transaction Safety
+
+Multi-step operations (INSERT+INSERT, UPDATE+DELETE, read-modify-write) MUST be wrapped in a transaction. Ask: "If this crashes between step N and N+1, is the database consistent?" If not, wrap in a transaction. Applies to both backends.
+
+## libSQL Connection Model
+
+`LibSqlBackend::connect()` creates a fresh connection per operation with `PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000`. This is intentional -- no pool exists. Never hold connections open across `await` points. Satellite stores (`LibSqlSecretsStore`, `LibSqlWasmToolStore`) receive `Arc<LibSqlDatabase>` via `shared_db()` and call `.connect()` themselves -- never pass a live `Connection`.
+
+## Fix the Pattern, Not the Instance
+
+When fixing a bug in one backend's SQL, always grep for the same pattern in the other. A fix to `postgres.rs` that doesn't also fix `libsql/jobs.rs` is half a fix. Same applies to satellite stores.

+# Review & Fix Discipline
+
+Hard-won lessons from code review -- follow these when fixing bugs or addressing review feedback.
+
+**Fix the pattern, not just the instance:** When a reviewer flags a bug (e.g., TOCTOU race in INSERT + SELECT-back), search the entire codebase for all instances of that same pattern. A fix in `SecretsStore::create()` that doesn't also fix `WasmToolStore::store()` is half a fix.
+
+**Propagate architectural fixes to satellite types:** If a core type changes its concurrency model (e.g., `LibSqlBackend` switches to connection-per-operation), every type that was handed a resource from the old model must also be updated. Grep for the old type across the codebase.
+
+**Schema translation is more than DDL:** When translating a database schema between backends (PostgreSQL to libSQL, etc.), check for:
+- **Indexes** -- diff `CREATE INDEX` statements between the two schemas
+- **Seed data** -- check for `INSERT INTO` in migrations (e.g., `leak_detection_patterns`)
+- **Semantic differences** -- document where SQL functions behave differently (e.g., `json_patch` vs `jsonb_set`)
+
+**Feature flag testing:** When adding feature-gated code, test compilation with each feature in isolation:
+```bash
+cargo check                                          # default features
+cargo check --no-default-features --features libsql  # libsql only
+cargo check --all-features                           # all features
+```
+
+**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.
+
+**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. 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()` or `char_indices()`. Grep for `[..` in changed files.
+
+**Case-insensitive comparisons:** When comparing user-supplied strings (file paths, media types, extension names), normalize to lowercase with `.to_ascii_lowercase()`. Path comparisons must be case-insensitive on macOS/Windows.
+
+**Decorator/wrapper trait delegation:** When adding a new method to `LlmProvider` (or any trait with decorator wrappers), update ALL wrapper types to delegate. Grep for `impl LlmProvider for` to find all implementations. Test through the full provider chain.
+
+**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.
+
+**Test temporary files:** Use the `tempfile` crate. Never hardcode `/tmp/...` paths.
+
+**Trust boundaries in multi-process architecture:** Data from worker containers is untrusted. The orchestrator MUST validate: tool domain, nesting depth (server-side tracking), and parameter sensitivity.
+
+**Mechanical verification 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>` -- prefer `crate::` for cross-module imports (`super::` OK in tests/intra-module)
+- If you fixed a pattern bug, `grep` for other instances across `src/`
+- Run `scripts/pre-commit-safety.sh` to catch UTF-8, case-sensitivity, hardcoded /tmp, and logging issues

+
+## Safety Layer
+
+All external tool output passes through `SafetyLayer`:
+1. **Sanitizer** - Detects injection patterns, escapes dangerous content
+2. **Validator** - Checks length, encoding, forbidden patterns
+3. **Policy** - Rules with severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) and actions (Block/Warn/Review/Sanitize)
+4. **Leak Detector** - Scans for 15+ secret patterns at two points: tool output before LLM, and LLM responses before user
+
+Tool outputs are wrapped in `<tool_output>` XML before reaching the LLM.
+
+## Shell Environment Scrubbing
+
+The shell tool scrubs sensitive env vars before executing commands. The sanitizer detects command injection patterns (chained commands, subshells, path traversal).
+
+## Sandbox Policies
+
+| Policy | Filesystem | Network |
+|--------|-----------|---------|
+| ReadOnly | Read-only workspace | Allowlisted domains |
+| WorkspaceWrite | Read-write workspace | Allowlisted domains |
+| FullAccess | Full filesystem | Unrestricted |
+
+## Zero-Exposure Credential Model
+
+Secrets are stored encrypted on the host and injected into HTTP requests by the proxy at transit time. Container processes never see raw credential values.

+**Keep tool-specific logic out of the main agent codebase.** The main agent provides generic infrastructure; tools are self-contained units that declare requirements through `<name>.capabilities.json` sidecar files (in dev mode: `tools-src/<name>/<name>-tool.capabilities.json`).

+Tools can be WASM (sandboxed, credential-injected, single binary) or MCP servers (ecosystem, any language, no sandbox). Both are first-class via `ironclaw tool install`.

+            Code review this pull request. Follow these steps precisely:
+
+            1. Find relevant CLAUDE.md files: the root CLAUDE.md and any CLAUDE.md files
+               in directories whose files this PR modifies. Use Glob to find them, then Read
+               to load their contents.
+
+            2. Get the PR diff with `gh pr diff` and summarize the change.
+
+            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 (using Read), then return a list of issues. Each agent MUST score its
+               own findings inline using the severity and confidence rubric below.
+
+               Severity levels:
+               - 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
+
+               Confidence scoring (0-100):
+               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.
+
+               Each agent returns findings as: [SEVERITY:CONFIDENCE] <brief description>
+
+               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. Consolidate all agent findings and post exactly one 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.
+
+            IMPORTANT rules:
+            - Only YOU (the main process) may call `gh pr comment`. Agents must return
+              their findings to you — they must NOT post comments themselves.
+            - You MUST post exactly one `gh pr comment` before finishing, even if agents
+              fail or return empty results. If review is incomplete, post "No issues found."
+            - Use Read/Glob for file access, `gh` for 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

 ## Build & Test
 
 ```bash
-# Format code
-cargo fmt
-
-# Lint (fix ALL warnings before committing, including pre-existing ones)
-cargo clippy --all --benches --tests --examples --all-features
-
-# Run all tests
-cargo test
-
-# Run specific test
-cargo test test_name
-
-# Run with logging
-RUST_LOG=ironclaw=debug cargo run
+cargo fmt                                                    # format
+cargo clippy --all --benches --tests --examples --all-features  # lint (zero warnings)
+cargo test                                                   # unit tests
+cargo test --features integration                            # + PostgreSQL tests
+RUST_LOG=ironclaw=debug cargo run                            # run with logging
 ```
 
+E2E tests: see `tests/e2e/CLAUDE.md`.
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Prefer `crate::` for cross-module imports; `super::` is fine in tests and intra-module refs
+- No `pub use` re-exports unless exposing to downstream consumers
+- No `.unwrap()` or `.expect()` in production code (tests are fine)
+- Use `thiserror` for error types in `error.rs`
+- Map errors with context: `.map_err(|e| SomeError::Variant { reason: e.to_string() })?`
+- Prefer strong types over strings (enums, newtypes)
+- Keep functions focused, extract helpers when logic is reused
+- Comments for non-obvious logic only
+
+## Architecture
+
+Prefer generic/extensible architectures over hardcoding specific integrations. Ask clarifying questions about the desired abstraction level before implementing.
+
+Key traits for extensibility: `Database`, `Channel`, `Tool`, `LlmProvider`, `SuccessEvaluator`, `EmbeddingProvider`, `NetworkPolicyDecider`, `Hook`, `Observer`, `Tunnel`.
+
+All I/O is async with tokio. Use `Arc<T>` for shared state, `RwLock` for concurrent access.

-## Key Patterns
+## Database
 
-### Architecture
+Dual-backend: PostgreSQL + libSQL/Turso. **All new persistence features must support both backends.** See `src/db/CLAUDE.md` and `.claude/rules/database.md`.
 
-When designing new features or systems, always prefer generic/extensible architectures over hardcoding specific integrations. Ask clarifying questions about the desired abstraction level before implementing.
+## Module Specs
 
-### Error Handling
-- Use `thiserror` for error types in `error.rs`
-- Never use `.unwrap()` or `.expect()` in production code (tests are fine)
-- Map errors with context: `.map_err(|e| SomeError::Variant { reason: e.to_string() })?`
-- Before committing, grep for `.unwrap()` and `.expect(` in changed files to catch violations mechanically
+When modifying a module with a spec, read the spec first. Code follows spec; spec is the tiebreaker.
 
-### Async
-- All I/O is async with tokio
-- Use `Arc<T>` for shared state across tasks
-- Use `RwLock` for concurrent read/write access
+**Module-owned initialization:** Module-specific initialization logic (database connection, transport creation, channel setup) must live in the owning module as a public factory function — not in `main.rs` or `app.rs`. These entry-point files orchestrate calls to module factories. Feature-flag branching (`#[cfg(feature = ...)]`) must be confined to the module that owns the abstraction.
 
-### Traits for Extensibility
-- `Database` - Add new database backends (must implement all ~60 methods)
-- `Channel` - Add new input sources
-- `Tool` - Add new capabilities
-- `LlmProvider` - Add new LLM backends
-- `SuccessEvaluator` - Custom evaluation logic
-- `EmbeddingProvider` - Add embedding backends (workspace search)
-- `NetworkPolicyDecider` - Custom network access policies for sandbox containers

-### Code Style
+## Skills System
 
-- Use `crate::` imports, not `super::`
-- No `pub use` re-exports unless exposing to downstream consumers
-- Prefer strong types over strings (enums, newtypes)
-- Keep functions focused, extract helpers when logic is reused
-- Comments for non-obvious logic only
+SKILL.md files extend the agent's prompt with domain-specific instructions. See `.claude/rules/skills.md` for full details.
 
-### Review & Fix Discipline
-
-Hard-won lessons from code review -- follow these when fixing bugs or addressing review feedback.
-
-**Fix the pattern, not just the instance:** When a reviewer flags a bug (e.g., TOCTOU race in INSERT + SELECT-back), search the entire codebase for all instances of that same pattern. A fix in `SecretsStore::create()` that doesn't also fix `WasmToolStore::store()` is half a fix.
-
-**Propagate architectural fixes to satellite types:** If a core type changes its concurrency model (e.g., `LibSqlBackend` switches to connection-per-operation), every type that was handed a resource from the old model (e.g., `LibSqlSecretsStore`, `LibSqlWasmToolStore` holding a single `Connection`) must also be updated. Grep for the old type across the codebase.
-
-**Schema translation is more than DDL:** When translating a database schema between backends (PostgreSQL to libSQL, etc.), check for:
-- **Indexes** -- diff `CREATE INDEX` statements between the two schemas
-- **Seed data** -- check for `INSERT INTO` in migrations (e.g., `leak_detection_patterns`)
-- **Semantic differences** -- document where SQL functions behave differently (e.g., `json_patch` vs `jsonb_set`)
-
-**Feature flag testing:** When adding feature-gated code, test compilation with each feature in isolation:
-```bash
-cargo check                                          # default features
-cargo check --no-default-features --features libsql  # libsql only
-cargo check --all-features                           # all features
-```
-Dead code behind the wrong `#[cfg]` gate will only show up when building with a single feature.
-
-**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.
-
-**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]`)
+- **Trust model**: Trusted (user-placed in `~/.ironclaw/skills/` or workspace `skills/`, full tool access) vs Installed (registry, read-only tools)
+- **Selection pipeline**: gating (check bin/env/config requirements) -> scoring (keywords/patterns/tags) -> budget (fit within `SKILLS_MAX_TOKENS`) -> attenuation (trust-based tool ceiling)
+- **Skill tools**: `skill_list`, `skill_search`, `skill_install`, `skill_remove`

-
-### 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`).
-
-## 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 |
-
-```bash
-# Build with PostgreSQL only (default)
-cargo build
-
-# Build with libSQL only
-cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql
-
-# Build with both backends available
-cargo build --features "postgres,libsql"
-```
-
-### Database Trait
-
-The `Database` trait (`src/db/mod.rs`) defines ~60 async methods covering all persistence:
-- Conversations, messages, metadata
-- Jobs, actions, LLM calls, estimation snapshots
-- Sandbox jobs, job events
-- Routines, routine runs
-- Tool failures, settings
-- Workspace: documents, chunks, hybrid search
-
-Both backends implement this trait. PostgreSQL delegates to the existing `Store` + `Repository`. libSQL implements native SQLite-dialect SQL.
-
-### Schema
-
-**PostgreSQL:** `migrations/V1__initial.sql` (351 lines). Uses pgvector for embeddings, tsvector for FTS, PL/pgSQL functions. Managed by `refinery`.
-
-**libSQL:** `src/db/libsql_migrations.rs` (consolidated schema, ~480 lines). Translates PG types:
-- `UUID` -> `TEXT`, `TIMESTAMPTZ` -> `TEXT` (ISO-8601), `JSONB` -> `TEXT`
-- `VECTOR(1536)` -> `F32_BLOB(1536)` with `libsql_vector_idx`
-- `tsvector`/`ts_rank_cd` -> FTS5 virtual table with sync triggers
-- PL/pgSQL functions -> SQLite triggers
-
-**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.
-
-## Safety Layer
-
-All external tool output passes through `SafetyLayer`:
-1. **Sanitizer** - Detects injection patterns, escapes dangerous content
-2. **Validator** - Checks length, encoding, forbidden patterns
-3. **Policy** - Rules with severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) and actions (Block/Warn/Review/Sanitize)
-4. **Leak Detector** - Scans for 15+ secret patterns (API keys, tokens, private keys, connection strings) at two points: tool output before it reaches the LLM, and LLM responses before they reach the user. Actions per pattern: Block (reject entirely), Redact (mask the secret), or Warn (flag but allow)
-
-Tool outputs are wrapped before reaching LLM:
-```xml
-<tool_output name="search" sanitized="true">
-[escaped content]
-</tool_output>
-```
-
-### Shell Environment Scrubbing
-
-The shell tool (`src/tools/builtin/shell.rs`) scrubs sensitive environment variables before executing commands, preventing secrets from leaking through `env`, `printenv`, or `$VAR` expansion. The sanitizer (`src/safety/sanitizer.rs`) also detects command injection patterns (chained commands, subshells, path traversal) and blocks or escapes them based on policy rules.
-
-## Skills System
-
-Skills are SKILL.md files that extend the agent's prompt with domain-specific instructions. Each skill is a YAML frontmatter block (metadata, activation criteria, required tools) followed by a markdown body that gets injected into the LLM context when the skill activates.
-
-### Trust Model
-
-| Trust Level | Source | Tool Access |
-|-------------|--------|-------------|
-| **Trusted** | User-placed in `~/.ironclaw/skills/` or workspace `skills/` | All tools available to the agent |
-| **Installed** | Downloaded from ClawHub registry | Read-only tools only (no shell, file write, HTTP) |
-
-### SKILL.md Format
-
-```yaml

-name: my-skill
-version: 0.1.0
-description: Does something useful
-activation:
-  patterns:
-    - "deploy to.*production"

-      env: [KUBECONFIG]
----
-
-# Deployment Skill
-
-Instructions for the agent when this skill activates...
-```
-
-### Selection Pipeline
-
-1. **Gating** -- Check binary/env/config requirements; skip skills whose prerequisites are missing
-2. **Scoring** -- Deterministic scoring against message content using keywords, tags, and regex patterns
-3. **Budget** -- Select top-scoring skills that fit within `SKILLS_MAX_TOKENS` prompt budget
-4. **Attenuation** -- Apply trust-based tool ceiling; installed skills lose access to dangerous tools
-
-### Skill Tools
-
-Four built-in tools for managing skills at runtime:
-- **`skill_list`** -- List all discovered skills with trust level and status
-- **`skill_search`** -- Search ClawHub registry for available skills
-- **`skill_install`** -- Download and install a skill from ClawHub
-- **`skill_remove`** -- Remove an installed skill
-
-### Skill Directories
-
-- `~/.ironclaw/skills/` -- User's global skills (trusted)
-- `<workspace>/skills/` -- Per-workspace skills (trusted)
-- `~/.ironclaw/installed_skills/` -- Registry-installed skills (installed trust)
-
-### Testing Skills
-
-- `skills/web-ui-test/` -- Manual test checklist for the web gateway UI via Claude for Chrome extension. Covers connection, chat, skills search/install/remove, and other tabs.
-
-Skills configuration: see Configuration section above.
-
-## Docker Sandbox
-
-The `src/sandbox/` module provides Docker-based isolation for job execution with a network proxy that controls outbound access and injects credentials.
-
-### Sandbox Policies
-
-| Policy | Filesystem | Network | Use Case |
-|--------|-----------|---------|----------|
-| **ReadOnly** | Read-only workspace mount | Allowlisted domains only | Analysis, code review |
-| **WorkspaceWrite** | Read-write workspace mount | Allowlisted domains only | Code generation, file edits |
-| **FullAccess** | Full filesystem | Unrestricted | Trusted admin tasks |
-
-### Network Proxy
-
-Containers route all HTTP/HTTPS traffic through a host-side proxy (`src/sandbox/proxy/`):
-- **Domain allowlist** -- Only allowlisted domains are reachable (default: package registries, docs sites, GitHub, common APIs)
-- **Credential injection** -- The `CredentialResolver` trait injects auth headers into proxied requests so secrets never enter the container environment
-- **CONNECT tunnel** -- HTTPS traffic uses CONNECT method; the proxy validates the target domain against the allowlist before establishing the tunnel
-- **Policy decisions** -- The `NetworkPolicyDecider` trait allows custom logic for allow/deny/inject decisions per request
-
-### Zero-Exposure Credential Model
-
-Secrets (API keys, tokens) are stored encrypted on the host and injected into HTTP requests by the proxy at transit time. Container processes never have access to raw credential values, preventing exfiltration even if container code is compromised.
-
-Sandbox configuration: see Configuration section above.
-
-## Testing
-
-Tests are in `mod tests {}` blocks at the bottom of each file. Run specific module tests:
-```bash
-cargo test safety::sanitizer::tests
-cargo test tools::registry::tests
-```
-
-Key test patterns:
-- Unit tests for pure functions
-- Async tests with `#[tokio::test]`
-- No mocks, prefer real implementations or stubs
-
-## Current Limitations / TODOs
-
-1. **Domain-specific tools** - `marketplace.rs`, `restaurant.rs`, `taskrabbit.rs`, `ecommerce.rs` return placeholder responses; need real API integrations
-2. **Integration tests** - Need testcontainers setup for PostgreSQL
-3. **MCP stdio transport** - Only HTTP transport implemented
-4. **WIT bindgen integration** - Auto-extract tool description/schema from WASM modules (stubbed)
-5. **Capability granting after tool build** - Built tools get empty capabilities; need UX for granting HTTP/secrets access
-6. **Tool versioning workflow** - No version tracking or rollback for dynamically built tools
-7. **Webhook trigger endpoint** - Routines webhook trigger not yet exposed in web gateway
-8. **Full channel status view** - Gateway status widget exists, but no per-channel connection dashboard
-
-## Tool Architecture
-
-**Keep tool-specific logic out of the main agent codebase.** The main agent provides generic infrastructure; tools are self-contained units that declare their requirements through `capabilities.json` files (API endpoints, credentials, rate limits, auth setup). Service-specific auth flows, CLI commands, and configuration do not belong in the main agent.
-
-Tools can be built as **WASM** (sandboxed, credential-injected, single binary) or **MCP servers** (ecosystem of pre-built servers, any language, but no sandbox). Both are first-class via `ironclaw tool install`. Auth is declared in capabilities files with OAuth and manual token entry support.
-
-See `src/tools/README.md` for full tool architecture, adding new tools (built-in Rust and WASM), auth JSON examples, and WASM vs MCP decision guide.
+See `.env.example` for all environment variables. LLM backends (`nearai`, `openai`, `anthropic`, `ollama`, `openai_compatible`, `tinfoil`, `bedrock`) documented in `src/llm/CLAUDE.md`.
 
 ## Adding a New Channel
 
 1. Create `src/channels/my_channel.rs`
 2. Implement the `Channel` trait
-3. Add config in `src/config.rs`
-4. Wire up in `main.rs` channel setup section
+3. Add config in `src/config/channels.rs`
+4. Wire up in `src/app.rs` channel setup section
+
+## Workspace & Memory
+
+Persistent memory with hybrid search (FTS + vector via RRF). Four tools: `memory_search`, `memory_write`, `memory_read`, `memory_tree`. Identity files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md) injected into system prompt. Heartbeat system runs proactive periodic execution (default: 30 minutes), reading `HEARTBEAT.md` and notifying via channel if findings. See `src/workspace/README.md`.
 
 ## Debugging
 
 ```bash
-# Verbose logging
-RUST_LOG=ironclaw=trace cargo run
-
-# Just the agent module
-RUST_LOG=ironclaw::agent=debug cargo run
-
-# With HTTP request logging
-RUST_LOG=ironclaw=debug,tower_http=debug cargo run
+RUST_LOG=ironclaw=trace cargo run           # verbose
+RUST_LOG=ironclaw::agent=debug cargo run    # agent module only
+RUST_LOG=ironclaw=debug,tower_http=debug cargo run  # + HTTP request logging
 ```
 
-## Module Specifications
+## Current Limitations
 
-Some modules have a `README.md` that serves as the authoritative specification
-for that module's behavior. When modifying code in a module that has a spec:
-
-1. **Read the spec first** before making changes
-2. **Code follows spec**: if the spec says X, the code must do X
-3. **Update both sides**: if you change behavior, update the spec to match;
-   if you're implementing a spec change, update the code to match
-4. **Spec is the tiebreaker**: when code and spec disagree, the spec is correct
-   (unless the spec is clearly outdated, in which case fix the spec first)
-
-| Module | Spec File |
-|--------|-----------|
-| `src/setup/` | `src/setup/README.md` |
-| `src/workspace/` | `src/workspace/README.md` |
-| `src/tools/` | `src/tools/README.md` |
-
-## Workspace & Memory System
-
-OpenClaw-inspired persistent memory with a flexible filesystem-like structure. Principle: "Memory is database, not RAM" -- if you want to remember something, write it explicitly. Uses hybrid search combining FTS (keyword) + vector (semantic) via Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
-
-Four memory tools for LLM use: `memory_search` (hybrid search -- call before answering questions about prior work), `memory_write`, `memory_read`, `memory_tree`. Identity files (AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, USER.md, IDENTITY.md) are injected into the LLM system prompt.
-
-The heartbeat system runs proactive periodic execution (default: 30 minutes), reading `HEARTBEAT.md` and notifying via channel if findings are detected.
-
-See `src/workspace/README.md` for full API documentation, filesystem structure, hybrid search details, chunking strategy, and heartbeat system.
+1. Domain-specific tools (`marketplace.rs`, `restaurant.rs`, etc.) are stubs
+2. Integration tests need testcontainers for PostgreSQL
+3. MCP: no streaming support; stdio/HTTP/Unix transports all use request-response
+4. WIT bindgen: auto-extract tool schema from WASM is stubbed
+5. Built tools get empty capabilities; need UX for granting access
+6. No tool versioning or rollback
+7. Observability: only `log` and `noop` backends (no OpenTelemetry)

+
+## 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

+
+## Философия
+
+IronClaw построен на простом принципе: **ваш AI-ассистент должен работать на вас, а не против вас**.
+
+В мире, где системы ИИ становятся все более непрозрачными в вопросах обработки данных и ориентируются на корпоративные интересы, IronClaw выбирает другой путь:
+
+- **Ваши данные остаются вашими** — вся информация хранится локально, зашифрована и никогда не покидает ваш контроль.
+- **Прозрачность по умолчанию** — открытый исходный код, возможность аудита, отсутствие скрытой телеметрии или сбора данных.
+- **Саморасширяемые возможности** — создавайте новые инструменты «на лету», не дожидаясь обновлений от вендора.
+- **Глубокая защита** — несколько уровней безопасности защищают от инъекций промптов и утечки данных.
+
+IronClaw — это AI-ассистент, которому вы действительно можете доверять в личной и профессиональной жизни.
+
+## Возможности
+
+### Безопасность прежде всего
+
+- **Песочница WASM** — непроверенные инструменты запускаются в изолированных контейнерах WebAssembly с правами на основе возможностей.
+- **Защита учетных данных** — секреты никогда не раскрываются инструментам; они внедряются на границе хоста с детектированием утечек.
+- **Защита от инъекций промптов** — обнаружение паттернов, очистка контента и применение политик безопасности.
+- **Список разрешенных эндпоинтов** — HTTP-запросы только к явно одобренным хостам и путям.
+
+### Всегда доступен
+
+- **Многоканальность** — REPL, HTTP-вебхуки, WASM-каналы (Telegram, Slack) и веб-шлюз.
+- **Песочница Docker** — изолированное выполнение контейнеров с токенами для каждого задания и паттерном «оркестратор/воркер».
+- **Веб-шлюз** — браузерный интерфейс с потоковой передачей данных в реальном времени через SSE/WebSocket.
+- **Рутины (Routines)** — расписания cron, триггеры событий, обработчики вебхуков для фоновой автоматизации.
+- **Система Heartbeat** — проактивное фоновое выполнение задач мониторинга и обслуживания.
+- **Параллельные задания** — одновременная обработка нескольких запросов с изолированными контекстами.
+- **Самовосстановление** — автоматическое обнаружение и восстановление зависших операций.
+
+### Саморасширяемый
+
+- **Динамическое создание инструментов** — опишите, что вам нужно, и IronClaw создаст это как инструмент WASM.
+- **Протокол MCP** — подключайтесь к серверам Model Context Protocol для получения дополнительных возможностей.
+- **Плагинная архитектура** — добавляйте новые инструменты WASM и каналы без перезагрузки системы.
+
+### Постоянная память
+
+- **Гибридный поиск** — полнотекстовый + векторный поиск с использованием Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
+- **Файловая система Workspace** — гибкое хранилище на основе путей для заметок, логов и контекста.
+- **Файлы идентичности (Identity Files)** — сохранение индивидуальности и предпочтений между сессиями.
+
+## Установка
+
+### Предварительные условия
+
+- Rust 1.85+
+- PostgreSQL 15+ с расширением [pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector)
+- Аккаунт NEAR AI (аутентификация через мастер настройки)
+
+## Загрузка и сборка
+
+Посетите [страницу релизов](https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/), чтобы увидеть последние обновления.
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Установка через установщик Windows (Windows)</summary>
+
+Загрузите [Windows Installer](https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/latest/download/ironclaw-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.msi) и запустите его.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Установка через powershell-скрипт (Windows)</summary>
+
+```sh
+irm https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/latest/download/ironclaw-installer.ps1 | iex
+```
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Установка через shell-скрипт (macOS, Linux, Windows/WSL)</summary>
+
+```sh
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/latest/download/ironclaw-installer.sh | sh
+```
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Установка через Homebrew (macOS/Linux)</summary>
+
+```sh
+brew install ironclaw
+```
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Компиляция из исходного кода (Cargo на Windows, Linux, macOS)</summary>
+
+Для установки используйте `cargo`, предварительно убедившись, что у вас установлен [Rust](https://rustup.rs).
+
+```bash
+# Клонируйте репозиторий
+git clone https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw.git
+cd ironclaw
+
+# Сборка
+cargo build --release
+
+# Запуск тестов
+cargo test
+```
+
+Для **полного релиза** (после модификации исходников каналов) выполните `./scripts/build-all.sh`, чтобы сначала пересобрать каналы.
+
+</details>
+
+### Настройка базы данных
+
+```bash
+# Создание базы данных
+createdb ironclaw
+
+# Включение pgvector
+psql ironclaw -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;"
+```
+
+## Конфигурация
+
+Запустите мастер настройки для конфигурации IronClaw:
+
+```bash
+ironclaw onboard
+```
+
+Мастер настройки поможет установить соединение с базой данных, пройти аутентификацию NEAR AI (через браузер OAuth) и настроить шифрование секретов (используя системную связку ключей). Настройки сохраняются в базе данных; базовые переменные (например, `DATABASE_URL`, `LLM_BACKEND`) записываются в `~/.ironclaw/.env`, чтобы они были доступны до подключения к БД.
+
+### Альтернативные LLM-провайдеры
+
+IronClaw по умолчанию использует NEAR AI, но работает с любыми OpenAI-совместимыми эндпоинтами.
+Популярные варианты включают **OpenRouter** (300+ моделей), **Together AI**, **Fireworks AI**, **Ollama** (локально) и собственные серверы, такие как **vLLM** или **LiteLLM**.
+
+Выберите *"OpenAI-compatible"* в мастере настройки или установите переменные окружения напрямую:
+
+```env
+LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible
+LLM_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
+LLM_API_KEY=sk-or-...
+LLM_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+```
+
+Смотрите [docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md](docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md) для получения полного руководства по провайдерам.
+
+## Безопасность
+
+IronClaw реализует эшелонированную защиту для обеспечения безопасности ваших данных и предотвращения злоупотреблений.
+
+### Песочница WASM
+
+Все непроверенные инструменты запускаются в изолированных контейнерах WebAssembly:
+
+- **Права на основе возможностей** — явное разрешение на HTTP, доступ к секретам, вызов инструментов.
+- **Список разрешенных эндпоинтов** — HTTP-запросы только к одобренным хостам/путям.
+- **Внедрение учетных данных** — секреты внедряются на границе хоста и никогда не раскрываются коду WASM.
+- **Детектирование утечек** — сканирование запросов и ответов на попытки кражи секретов.
+- **Ограничение частоты запросов** — лимиты для каждого инструмента для предотвращения злоупотреблений.
+- **Лимиты ресурсов** — ограничения по памяти, процессору и времени выполнения.
+
+```
+WASM ──► Валидатор ──► Сканер ───► Инъектор ──► Выполнение ──► Сканер ───► WASM
+         хостов        утечек      секретов      запроса        утечек
+                       (запрос)                                 (ответ)
+```
+
+### Защита от инъекций промптов
+
+Внешний контент проходит через несколько уровней безопасности:
+
+- Обнаружение попыток инъекций на основе паттернов.
+- Очистка и экранирование контента.
+- Правила политик с уровнями серьезности (Блокировка/Предупреждение/Проверка/Очистка).
+- Обертывание вывода инструментов для безопасного внедрения в контекст LLM.
+
+### Защита данных
+
+- Все данные хранятся локально в вашей базе данных PostgreSQL.
+- Секреты зашифрованы с использованием AES-256-GCM.
+- Никакой телеметрии, аналитики или обмена данными.
+- Полный журнал аудита выполнения всех инструментов.

+
+## 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）
+

+
+### 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
+
+## 系统架构

+## 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 |

+# IronClaw Fuzz Targets
+
+Fuzz testing for security-critical input parsing paths using [cargo-fuzz](https://github.com/rust-fuzz/cargo-fuzz) (libFuzzer).
+
+## Targets
+
+| Target | What it exercises |
+|--------|-------------------|
+| `fuzz_safety_sanitizer` | Prompt injection pattern detection (Aho-Corasick + regex) |
+| `fuzz_safety_validator` | Input validation (length, encoding, forbidden patterns) |
+| `fuzz_leak_detector` | Secret leak detection (API keys, tokens, credentials) |
+| `fuzz_tool_params` | Tool parameter and schema JSON validation |
+| `fuzz_config_env` | SafetyLayer end-to-end (sanitize, validate, policy check) |
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+cargo install cargo-fuzz
+rustup install nightly
+```
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+# Run a specific target (runs until stopped or crash found)
+cargo +nightly fuzz run fuzz_safety_sanitizer
+
+# Run with a time limit (5 minutes)
+cargo +nightly fuzz run fuzz_leak_detector -- -max_total_time=300
+
+# Run all targets for 60 seconds each
+for target in fuzz_safety_sanitizer fuzz_safety_validator fuzz_leak_detector fuzz_tool_params fuzz_config_env; do
+    echo "==> $target"
+    cargo +nightly fuzz run "$target" -- -max_total_time=60
+done
+```
+
+## Adding New Targets
+
+1. Create `fuzz/fuzz_targets/fuzz_<name>.rs` following the existing pattern
+2. Add a `[[bin]]` entry in `fuzz/Cargo.toml`
+3. Create `fuzz/corpus/fuzz_<name>/` for seed inputs
+4. Exercise real IronClaw code paths, not just generic serde

+name: ironclaw-workflow-orchestrator
+description: "Install and operate a full GitHub issue-to-merge workflow in IronClaw using event-driven and cron routines. Use when setting up or tuning autonomous project orchestration: issue intake, planning, maintainer feedback handling, branch/PR execution, CI/comment follow-up, batched staging review every 8 hours, and memory updates from merge outcomes."
+---
+
+# IronClaw Workflow Orchestrator
+
+## Overview
+Use this skill to install and maintain a complete project workflow as routines, not core code changes. It maps GitHub webhook events plus scheduled checks into plan/update/implement/review/merge loops with explicit staging-batch analysis.
+
+## Workflow
+1. Gather workflow parameters.
+2. Verify runtime prerequisites.
+3. Install or update routine set from templates.
+4. Run a dry test with `event_emit`.
+5. Monitor outcomes and tune prompts/filters.
+
+## Parameters
+Collect these values before creating routines:
+- `repository`: `owner/repo` (required)
+- `maintainers`: GitHub handles allowed to trigger implement/replan actions
+- `staging_branch`: default `staging`
+- `main_branch`: default `main`
+- `batch_interval_hours`: default `8`
+- `implementation_label`: default `autonomous-impl`
+
+## Prerequisites
+Before installing routines, verify:
+- Routines system enabled.
+- GitHub tool authenticated (for issue/PR/comment/status operations).
+- Events are emitted via `event_emit` tool calls (a future HTTP webhook ingestion endpoint is planned but not yet available).
+
+## Install Procedure
+1. Open [`workflow-routines.md`](references/workflow-routines.md).
+2. For each template block:
+- replace placeholders (`{{repository}}`, `{{maintainers}}`, branch names)
+- call `routine_create`
+3. If a routine already exists:
+- use `routine_update` instead of creating duplicates
+- keep names stable so long-lived metrics/history stay intact
+4. Confirm install with `routine_list` and `routine_history`.
+
+## Routine Set
+Install these routines:
+- `wf-issue-plan`: on `issue.opened` or `issue.reopened`, generate implementation plan comment/checklist.
+- `wf-maintainer-comment-gate`: on maintainer comments, decide update-plan vs start implementation.
+- `wf-pr-monitor-loop`: on PR open/sync/review-comment/review, address feedback and refresh branch.
+- `wf-ci-fix-loop`: on CI status/check failures, apply fixes and push updates.
+- `wf-staging-batch-review`: every 8h, review ready PRs, merge into staging, run deep batch correctness analysis, fix findings, then merge staging -> main.
+- `wf-learning-memory`: on merged PRs, extract mistakes/lessons and write to shared memory.
+
+## Event Filters
+Prefer top-level filters for stability:
+- `repository` (string)
+- `sender` (string)
+- `issue_number` / `pr_number`
+- `ci_status`, `ci_conclusion`
+- `review_state`, `comment_author`
+
+Use narrow filters to avoid accidental triggers across repos.
+
+## Operating Rules
+- All implementation work must occur on non-main branches.
+- PR loop must resolve both human and AI review comments.
+- On conflicts with `origin/main`, refresh branch before continuing.
+- Staging-batch routine is the only path for bulk correctness verification before mainline merge.
+- Memory update routine runs only after successful merge.
+
+## Validation
+After install, run:
+1. `event_emit` with a synthetic `issue.opened` payload for the target repo.
+2. Confirm at least one routine fired.
+3. Check corresponding `routine_history` entries.
+4. Confirm no unrelated routines fired.
+
+## When To Update Templates
+Update this skill when:
+- GitHub event names/payload fields change.
+- Team review policy changes (e.g., staging cadence, maintainer gates).
+- New CI policy requires different failure routing.

+# 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). |
+| *(moved to `src/worker/job.rs`)* | Per-job execution now lives in `src/worker/job.rs` as `JobDelegate`, using the shared `run_agentic_loop()` engine. |
+| `agentic_loop.rs` | Shared agentic loop engine: `run_agentic_loop()`, `LoopDelegate` trait, `LoopOutcome`, `LoopSignal`, `TextAction`. All three execution paths (chat, job, container) delegate to this. |
+| `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/system_event/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)
+
+All three execution paths (chat, job, container) now use the shared `run_agentic_loop()` engine in `agentic_loop.rs`, each providing their own `LoopDelegate` implementation:
+
+- **`ChatDelegate`** (`dispatcher.rs`) — conversational turns, tool approval, skill context injection
+- **`JobDelegate`** (`src/worker/job.rs`) — background scheduler jobs, planning support, completion detection
+- **`ContainerDelegate`** (`src/worker/container.rs`) — Docker container worker, sequential tool exec, HTTP event streaming
+
+```
+run_agentic_loop(delegate, reasoning, reason_ctx, config)
+  1. Check signals (stop/cancel) via delegate.check_signals()
+  2. Pre-LLM hook via delegate.before_llm_call()
+  3. LLM call via delegate.call_llm()
+  4. If text response → delegate.handle_text_response() → Continue or Return
+  5. If tool calls → delegate.execute_tool_calls() → Continue or Return
+  6. Post-iteration hook via delegate.after_iteration()
+  7. Repeat until LoopOutcome returned or max_iterations reached
+```
+
+**Tool approval:** Tools flagged `requires_approval` pause the loop — `ChatDelegate` returns `LoopOutcome::NeedApproval(pending)`. The web gateway stores the `PendingApproval` in session state and sends an `approval_needed` SSE event. The user's approval/deny resumes the loop.
+
+**Shared tool execution:** `tools/execute.rs` provides `execute_tool_with_safety()` (validate → timeout → execute → serialize) and `process_tool_result()` (sanitize → wrap → ChatMessage), used by all three delegates.
+
+**ChatDelegate vs JobDelegate:** `ChatDelegate` runs for user-initiated conversational turns (holds session lock, tracks turns). `JobDelegate` is spawned by the `Scheduler` for background jobs created via `CreateJob` / `/job` — it runs independently of the session and has 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)
