 # Agent Rules
 
-## Feature Parity Update Policy
+## Purpose and Precedence
 
+- `AGENTS.md` is the quick-start contract for coding agents. It is not the full architecture spec.
+- Read the relevant subsystem spec before changing a complex area. When a repo spec exists, treat it as authoritative.
+Start with these deeper docs as needed:
+- `CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/agent/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/channels/web/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/db/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/llm/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/setup/README.md`
+- `src/tools/README.md`
+- `src/workspace/README.md`
+- `src/NETWORK_SECURITY.md`
+- `tests/e2e/CLAUDE.md`
+
+## Architecture Mental Model
+
+- Channels normalize external input into `IncomingMessage`; `ChannelManager` merges all active channel streams.
+- `Agent` owns session/thread/turn handling, submission parsing, the LLM/tool loop, approvals, routines, and background runtime behavior.
+- `AppBuilder` is the composition root that wires database, secrets, LLMs, tools, workspace, extensions, skills, hooks, and cost controls before the agent starts.
+- The web gateway is a browser-facing API/UI layered on top of the same agent/session/tool systems, not a separate product path.
+
+## Where to Work
+
+- Agent/runtime behavior: `src/agent/`
+- Web gateway/API/SSE/WebSocket: `src/channels/web/`
+- Persistence and DB abstractions: `src/db/`
+- Setup/onboarding/configuration flow: `src/setup/`
+- LLM providers and routing: `src/llm/`
+- Workspace, memory, embeddings, search: `src/workspace/`
+- Extensions, tools, channels, MCP, WASM: `src/extensions/`, `src/tools/`, `src/channels/`
+
+## Ownership and Composition Rules
+
+- Keep `src/main.rs` and `src/app.rs` orchestration-focused. Do not move module-owned logic into entrypoints.
+- Module-specific initialization should live in the owning module behind a public factory/helper, not be reimplemented ad hoc.
+- Keep feature-flag branching inside the module that owns the abstraction whenever possible.
+- Prefer extending existing traits and registries over hardcoding one-off integration paths.
+
+## Repo-Wide Coding Rules
+
+- Avoid `.unwrap()` and `.expect()` in production; prefer proper error handling. They are fine in tests, and in production only for truly infallible invariants (e.g., literals/regexes) with a safety comment.
+- Keep clippy clean with zero warnings.
+- Prefer `crate::` imports for cross-module references.
+- Use strong types and enums over stringly-typed control flow when the shape is known.
+
+## Database, Setup, and Config Rules
+
+- New persistence behavior must support both PostgreSQL and libSQL.
+- Add new DB operations to the shared DB trait first, then implement both backends.
+- Treat bootstrap config, DB-backed settings, and encrypted secrets as distinct layers; do not collapse them casually.
+- If onboarding or setup behavior changes, update `src/setup/README.md` in the same branch.
+- Do not break config precedence, bootstrap env loading, DB-backed config reload, or post-secrets LLM re-resolution.
+
+## Security and Runtime Invariants
+
+- Review any change touching listeners, routes, auth, secrets, sandboxing, approvals, or outbound HTTP with a security mindset.
+- Do not weaken bearer-token auth, webhook auth, CORS/origin checks, body limits, rate limits, allowlists, or secret-handling guarantees.
+- Treat Docker containers and external services as untrusted.
+- Session/thread/turn state matters. Submission parsing happens before normal chat handling.
+- Skills are selected deterministically. Tool approval and auth flows are special paths and must not be mixed into normal chat history carelessly.
+- Persistent memory is the workspace system, not just transcript storage; preserve file-like semantics, chunking/search behavior, and identity/system-prompt loading.
+
+## Tools, Channels, and Extensions
+
+- Use a built-in Rust tool for core internal capabilities tightly coupled to the runtime.
+- Use WASM tools or WASM channels for sandboxed extensions and plugin-style integrations.
+- Use MCP for external server integrations when the capability belongs outside the main binary.
+- Preserve extension lifecycle expectations: install, authenticate/configure, activate, remove.
+
+## Docs, Parity, and Testing
+
+- If behavior changes, update the relevant docs/specs in the same branch.
 - If you change implementation status for any feature tracked in `FEATURE_PARITY.md`, update that file in the same branch.
 - Do not open a PR that changes feature behavior without checking `FEATURE_PARITY.md` for needed status updates (`❌`, `🚧`, `✅`, notes, and priorities).
+- Add the narrowest tests that validate the change: unit tests for local logic, integration tests for runtime/DB/routing behavior, and E2E or trace coverage for gateway, approvals, extensions, or other user-visible flows.
+
+## Risk and Change Discipline
+
+- Keep changes scoped; avoid broad refactors unless the task truly requires them.
+- Security, database schema, runtime, worker, CI, and secrets changes are high-risk. Call out rollback risks, compatibility concerns, and hidden side effects.
+- Preserve existing defaults unless the task explicitly changes them.
+- Avoid unrelated file churn and generated-file edits unless required.
+- Respect a dirty worktree and never revert user changes you did not make.
+
+## Before Finishing
+
+- Confirm whether behavior changes require updates to `FEATURE_PARITY.md`, specs, API docs, or `CHANGELOG.md`.
+- Run the most targeted tests/checks that cover the change.
+- Re-check security-sensitive paths when touching auth, secrets, network listeners, sandboxing, or approvals.
+- Keep the final diff scoped to the task.

+## GitHub Copilot
+
+GitHub Copilot exposes chat endpoint at
+`https://api.githubcopilot.com`. IronClaw uses that endpoint directly through the
+built-in `github_copilot` provider.
+
+```env
+LLM_BACKEND=github_copilot
+GITHUB_COPILOT_TOKEN=gho_...
+GITHUB_COPILOT_MODEL=gpt-4o
+# Optional advanced headers if your setup needs them:
+# GITHUB_COPILOT_EXTRA_HEADERS=Copilot-Integration-Id:vscode-chat
+```
+
+`ironclaw onboard` can acquire this token for you using GitHub device login. If you
+already signed into Copilot through VS Code or a JetBrains IDE, you can also reuse
+the `oauth_token` stored in `~/.config/github-copilot/apps.json`. If you prefer,
+`LLM_BACKEND=github-copilot` also works as an alias.
+
+Popular models vary by subscription, but `gpt-4o` is a safe default. IronClaw keeps
+model entry manual for this provider because GitHub Copilot model listing may require
+extra integration headers on some clients. IronClaw automatically injects the standard
+VS Code identity headers (`User-Agent`, `Editor-Version`, `Editor-Plugin-Version`,
+`Copilot-Integration-Id`) and lets you override them with
+`GITHUB_COPILOT_EXTRA_HEADERS`.

+# Task Delegation Assistant
+
+When the user wants to delegate a task or get help managing something, follow this process:
+
+## 1. Clarify the Task
+
+Ask what needs to be done, by when, and any constraints. Get enough detail to act independently but don't over-interrogate. If the request is clear, skip straight to planning.
+
+## 2. Break It Down
+
+Decompose the task into concrete, actionable steps. Use `memory_write` to persist the task plan to a path like `tasks/{task-name}.md` with:
+- Clear description
+- Steps with checkboxes
+- Due date (if any)
+- Status: pending/in-progress/done
+
+## 3. Set Up Tracking
+
+If the task is recurring or has a deadline:
+- Create a routine using `routine_create` for scheduled check-ins
+- Add a heartbeat item if it needs daily monitoring
+- Set up an event-triggered routine if it depends on external input
+
+## 4. Use Profile Context
+
+Check `USER.md` for the user's preferences:
+- **Proactivity level**: High = check in frequently. Low = only report on completion.
+- **Communication style**: Match their preferred tone and detail level.
+- **Focus areas**: Prioritize tasks that align with their stated goals.
+
+## 5. Execute or Queue
+
+- If you can do it now (search, draft, organize, calculate), do it immediately.
+- If it requires waiting, external action, or follow-up, create a reminder routine.
+- If it requires tools you don't have, explain what's needed and suggest alternatives.
+
+## 6. Report Back
+
+Always confirm the plan with the user before starting execution. After completing, update the task file in memory and notify the user with a concise summary.
+
+## Communication Guidelines
+
+- Be direct and action-oriented
+- Confirm understanding before acting on ambiguous requests
+- When in doubt about autonomy level, ask once then remember the answer
+- Use `memory_write` to track delegation preferences for future reference

+# Routine Advisor
+
+When the conversation suggests the user has a repeatable task or could benefit from automation, consider suggesting a routine.
+
+## When to Suggest
+
+Suggest a routine when you notice:
+- The user describes doing something repeatedly ("I check my PRs every morning")
+- The user mentions forgetting recurring tasks ("I keep forgetting to...")
+- The user asks you to do something that sounds periodic
+- You've learned enough about the user to propose a relevant automation
+- The user has installed extensions that enable new monitoring capabilities
+
+## How to Suggest
+
+Be specific and concrete. Not "Want me to set up a routine?" but rather: "I noticed you review PRs every morning. Want me to create a daily 9am routine that checks your open PRs and sends you a summary?"
+
+Always include:
+1. What the routine would do (specific action)
+2. When it would run (specific schedule in plain language)
+3. How it would notify them (which channel they're on)
+
+Wait for the user to confirm before creating.
+
+## Pacing
+
+- First 1-3 conversations: Do NOT suggest routines. Focus on helping and learning.
+- After learning 2-3 user patterns: Suggest your first routine. Keep it simple.
+- After 5+ conversations: Suggest more routines as patterns emerge.
+- Never suggest more than 1 routine per conversation unless the user is clearly interested.
+- If the user declines, wait at least 3 conversations before suggesting again.
+
+## Creating Routines
+
+Use the `routine_create` tool. Before creating, check `routine_list` to avoid duplicates.
+
+Parameters:
+- `trigger_type`: Usually "cron" for scheduled tasks
+- `schedule`: Standard cron format. Common schedules:
+  - Daily 9am: `0 9 * * *`
+  - Weekday mornings: `0 9 * * MON-FRI`
+  - Weekly Monday: `0 9 * * MON`
+  - Every 2 hours during work: `0 9-17/2 * * MON-FRI`
+  - Sunday evening: `0 18 * * SUN`
+- `action_type`: "lightweight" for simple checks, "full_job" for multi-step tasks
+- `prompt`: Clear, specific instruction for what the routine should do
+- `context_paths`: Workspace files to load as context (e.g., `["context/profile.json", "MEMORY.md"]`)
+
+## Routine Ideas by User Type
+
+**Developer:**
+- Daily PR review digest (check open PRs, summarize what needs attention)
+- CI/CD failure alerts (monitor build status)
+- Weekly dependency update check
+- Daily standup prep (summarize yesterday's work from daily logs)
+
+**Professional:**
+- Morning briefing (today's priorities from memory + any pending tasks)
+- End-of-day summary (what was accomplished, what's pending)
+- Weekly goal review (check progress against stated goals)
+- Meeting prep reminders
+
+**Health/Personal:**
+- Daily exercise or habit check-in
+- Weekly meal planning prompt
+- Monthly budget review reminder
+
+**General:**
+- Daily news digest on topics of interest
+- Weekly reflection prompt (what went well, what to improve)
+- Periodic task/reminder check-in
+- Regular cleanup of stale tasks or notes
+- Weekly profile evolution (if the user has a profile in `context/profile.json`, suggest a Monday routine that reads the profile via `memory_read`, searches recent conversations for new patterns with `memory_search`, and updates the profile via `memory_write` if any fields should change with confidence > 0.6 — be conservative, only update with clear evidence)
+
+## Awareness
+
+Before suggesting, consider what tools and extensions are currently available. Only suggest routines the agent can actually execute. If a routine would need a tool that isn't installed, mention that too: "If you connect your calendar, I could also send you a morning briefing with today's meetings."

 Repair results: `Success`, `Retry`, `Failed`, `ManualRequired`. `Retry` does NOT notify the user (to avoid spam).

 **Connection per operation:** `LibSqlBackend::connect()` creates a fresh connection for every operation, sets `PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000`, and closes it when the `Connection` is dropped. This is intentional — the libSQL SDK does not offer a pool. Avoid holding connections open across `await` points.

+## GitHub Copilot Provider Notes
+
+`github_copilot` uses a dedicated `GithubCopilotProvider` (`github_copilot.rs`) with
+direct HTTP via `reqwest::Client`. It cannot use `RigAdapter` because the Copilot API
+requires a two-step authentication flow: a long-lived GitHub OAuth token is exchanged
+for a short-lived Copilot session token via `api.github.com/copilot_internal/v2/token`.
+The session token is cached and auto-refreshed before expiry by `CopilotTokenManager`
+in `github_copilot_auth.rs`.
+
+The API endpoint is `https://api.githubcopilot.com/chat/completions` (OpenAI Chat
+Completions format). Token source: `GITHUB_COPILOT_TOKEN` env var, or the
+`oauth_token` from your IDE sign-in flow (`~/.config/github-copilot/apps.json`).
+The setup wizard supports GitHub device login or manual token paste.
+
+**Known risk:** The device login flow uses the VS Code Copilot OAuth client ID
+(`Iv1.b507a08c87ecfe98`) and injects VS Code identity headers (`User-Agent`,

 Set `LLM_EXTRA_HEADERS=Key:Value,Key2:Value2` to inject headers into every request. Useful for OpenRouter attribution (`HTTP-Referer`, `X-Title`). Invalid header names/values are skipped with a warning (not a fatal error).
 
+## OpenAI Codex Provider
+
+Uses the Responses API at `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses` with ChatGPT subscription OAuth tokens (zero API cost — billing through subscription).
+
+**Auth flow:** Device code OAuth via `auth.openai.com/api/accounts/deviceauth/*` endpoints. On first run, displays a code for the user to enter at a URL. Tokens are persisted to `~/.ironclaw/openai_codex_session.json` (mode 0600) and auto-refreshed before expiry.
+
+**Provider chain:** `OpenAiCodexProvider` → `TokenRefreshingProvider` (pre-emptive refresh + retry on 401) → standard decorator chain. The `TokenRefreshingProvider` intercepts `AuthFailed`/`SessionExpired` errors, refreshes the OAuth token, and retries once.
+
+**Key differences from other providers:**
+- Uses Responses API (not Chat Completions) — SSE streaming with different event types
+- System messages are sent as `instructions` field, not in `input` array
+- Tool schemas are normalized via `normalize_schema_strict()` for OpenAI strict mode
+- `cost_per_token()` returns `(0, 0)` — subscription-based billing
+- `set_model()` returns error — model is fixed at construction time
+- Image attachments are silently dropped with a warning log
+
+**Env vars:** `OPENAI_CODEX_MODEL` (default: `gpt-5.3-codex`), `OPENAI_CODEX_CLIENT_ID`, `OPENAI_CODEX_AUTH_URL`, `OPENAI_CODEX_API_URL`.

+// ─── Risk: hardcoded VS Code Copilot identity ───────────────────────────────
+//
+// The client ID and editor identity headers below are extracted from the
+// VS Code Copilot Chat extension.  This is the *only* publicly documented
+// way to access the Copilot completions API with a personal GitHub token.
+//
+// **Known risks:**
+//   • GitHub may rotate or revoke this client ID at any time, which would
+//     break authentication for all IronClaw users until the constant is
+//     updated and a new release is shipped.
+//   • Using another product's client ID may violate GitHub's Terms of
+//     Service.  Maintainers should seek explicit guidance from GitHub
+//     before shipping this to a wide audience.
+//   • The editor version strings (`vscode/1.99.3`, `copilot-chat/0.26.7`)
+//     will become stale and could eventually be rejected by the API.
+//
+// **Mitigation:** If GitHub publishes an official Copilot API client ID or
+// an OAuth app registration flow for third-party tools, migrate to it
+// immediately.
+// ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
