Subject: [PATCH 001/105] fix(tts): wire dashboard tts.timeout_ms through
 ApplySystemConfigs + seed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

ApplySystemConfigs and seedConfigForContext both handle tts.provider,
tts.auto, tts.mode, tts.max_length — but neither carries tts.timeout_ms.
Result: the dashboard /tts page Timeout (ms) input is inert; cfg.Tts.TimeoutMs
stays at config.json default; setupTTS passes 0 to provider constructors;
each provider falls back to its hardcoded default (e.g. edge = 30s).

Two-line fix to mirror the existing pattern for the other tts.* keys.

+# Phase 1: Research and Characterization Tests
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#64`
+- Existing docs: `docs/06-store-data-model.md`, `docs/07-bootstrap-skills-memory.md`, `docs/09-security.md`, `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- Channel buffer: `internal/channels/history.go`, `internal/store/pending_message_store.go`
+- Memory/KG: `internal/consolidation/episodic_worker.go`, `internal/consolidation/semantic_worker.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Lock current behavior with tests before changing schemas or workers. This phase proves the feature can reuse existing channel pending-message buffers and Memory/KG pipeline without breaking session memory.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: document exact current data flow for group pending messages, channel instance config update, episodic creation, KG extraction, and activity logging.
+- Non-functional: tests first, no implementation until expected failures describe the desired behavior.
+
+## Architecture
+
+No runtime architecture added yet. The output is a verified map and failing tests for v1 contracts:
+
+1. channel instance config can carry `passive_memory`
+2. pending messages are tenant/channel/history-key scoped
+3. extraction candidates exclude DMs/private history in v1
+4. session-created episodic flow remains unchanged
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Create: `internal/http/channel_memory_handlers_test.go`
+- Create or extend: store tests under `internal/store/pg/` and `internal/store/sqlitestore/`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Re-scout channel adapters to list which currently call `PendingHistory.Record`.
+2. Re-scout `channel_pending_messages` PG/SQLite implementations and confirm tenant predicates.
+3. Write failing config parser tests for default-disabled `passive_memory`.
+4. Write failing candidate-selection tests: group-only, enabled-only, interval-or-cap trigger, minimum useful content gate.
+5. Write failing redaction tests using representative secret/PII strings.
+6. Write failing API tests for unauthorized settings/run/review actions.
+7. Write a short `plans/.../reports/scout-report.md` with verified file/line anchors.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Enumerate all pending-history recording call sites.
+- [ ] Enumerate HTTP + WS channel instance update surfaces.
+- [ ] Add failing config parser tests.
+- [ ] Add failing worker trigger tests.
+- [ ] Add failing redaction tests.
+- [ ] Add failing admin API permission tests.
+- [ ] Save scout report under this plan.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Tests fail for missing passive-memory config, worker, queue, and handlers.
+- [ ] Scout report lists exact files to modify and no fabricated APIs.
+- [ ] Plan assumptions match live code after re-grep.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Main risk is planning from stale scout notes. Mitigation: every claim in later phases must cite paths found in this phase, especially schema versions and route wiring.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Tests must include cross-tenant pending-message isolation and reject non-admin write access before any handler implementation exists.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Proceed to schema/store only after tests describe the contracts.

+# Phase 2: Schema and Store Contracts
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Phase 1 tests and scout report
+- PG migration latest during planning: `000073_secure_cli_credential_type.up.sql`
+- PG schema version: `internal/upgrade/version.go`
+- SQLite schema: `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.sql`, `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.go`
+- Store registry: `internal/store/stores.go`, `internal/store/pg/factory.go`, `internal/store/sqlitestore/factory.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add durable run and review-item stores for passive extraction. Keep channel settings inside `channel_instances.config` to avoid another settings subsystem.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: persist extraction runs, pending extracted items, approval/rejection/deletion state, source ranges, redaction stats, and write metadata.
+- Non-functional: tenant-scoped SQL, PG + SQLite parity, deterministic source IDs, no raw message body in extraction item after redaction.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use two new store concepts:
+
+1. `ChannelMemoryExtractionRun`: one batch attempt per channel/history key.
+2. `ChannelMemoryExtractionItem`: one extracted candidate fact or KG relation bundle pending review.
+
+`channel_instances.config.passive_memory` carries settings. Store layer exposes typed config helpers so HTTP/WS/UI do not mutate arbitrary JSON blindly.

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add PG migration `000074` with tenant-scoped tables and indexes:
+   - `channel_memory_extraction_runs`
+   - `channel_memory_extraction_items`
+2. Add unique constraints for idempotency:
+   - run: `(tenant_id, channel_instance_id, history_key, source_start_id, source_end_id)`
+   - item: `(tenant_id, run_id, item_hash)`
+3. Add statuses:
+   - run: `pending`, `running`, `completed`, `failed`, `cancelled`
+   - item: `pending_review`, `approved`, `rejected`, `written`, `deleted`
+4. Add source metadata fields: channel instance ID/name, history key, platform message ID range, time range, extractor run ID.
+5. Add redaction summary fields: count, categories, skipped reason.
+6. Add SQLite schema and migration map patch; bump `SchemaVersion` from 42 to 43.
+7. Bump PG `RequiredSchemaVersion` from 73 to 74.
+8. Implement PG and SQLite stores using existing scope patterns.
+9. Wire stores into `store.Stores` and factories.
+10. Make Phase 1 store tests pass.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add PG migration + version bump.
+- [ ] Add SQLite schema + migration map + version bump.
+- [ ] Add store interface types.
+- [ ] Add PG store implementation.
+- [ ] Add SQLite store implementation.
+- [ ] Wire factories.
+- [ ] Add idempotency tests.
+- [ ] Add tenant isolation tests.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Fresh PG migration applies and rolls back.
+- [ ] Fresh SQLite DB contains tables.
+- [ ] Existing SQLite DB migrates 42 to 43.
+- [ ] Store tests pass for create/list/update/claim/status transitions.
+- [ ] No SQL string concatenation with user input.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Migration conflict risk is high on active `dev`. Before implementation, re-run `ls migrations/*.up.sql | sort | tail` and renumber if another migration claims `000074`.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+All read/write methods require tenant context unless explicitly cross-tenant. Review item payload must store redacted text only; raw body stays in existing pending-message table subject to retention.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Worker can claim runs only after store contracts exist.

+- Existing compaction: `internal/channels/history_compaction.go`
+- Existing KG extractor: `internal/knowledgegraph/extractor.go`
+- Background provider resolver: `internal/providerresolve`
+- Usage caps: `internal/usage/caps`
+- Runtime wiring: `cmd/gateway.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Build the passive extraction worker. It scans enabled channel configs, selects eligible message batches, redacts sensitive content, calls LLM extraction/summarization once per batch, and stores review items.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: interval/message-cap/manual trigger, group-only v1, minimum useful content gate, redaction before durable writes, retry-safe run status.
+- Non-functional: bounded worker concurrency, cost controlled by batching, no panic on provider failure, graceful shutdown.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add `internal/consolidation/channel_memory_worker.go` or a focused `internal/channelmemory/` package if the file would exceed 200 LOC.
+
+Data flow:
+
+1. scan `ChannelInstanceStore` for enabled channels with `config.passive_memory.enabled=true`
+2. inspect `PendingMessageStore.ListGroups`
+3. choose groups where interval elapsed or message cap reached
+4. load `PendingMessageStore.ListByKey`
+5. redact
+6. create/claim extraction run
+7. call extractor prompt for durable facts only
+8. persist `pending_review` items
+9. log activity + `slog.Info/Warn`

+- Modify: `internal/consolidation/workers.go` or gateway wiring if worker stays separate from existing worker bundle
+- Modify: `cmd/gateway.go`
+- Modify: `cmd/gateway_managed.go` if managed gateway has separate wiring
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Implement `PassiveMemoryConfig` parser with defaults:
+   - disabled
+   - review mode true
+   - interval 360 minutes
+   - cap 100 messages
+   - retention 168 hours
+   - allowed types default set
+2. Implement redactor with tests for:
+   - API keys/tokens/passwords
+   - env-like secrets
+   - connection strings
+   - payment/banking numbers
+   - phone/address-like PII
+   - configured exclude user IDs and regex patterns
+3. Implement candidate selector with tests:
+   - skip disabled
+   - skip DM/private keys by v1 policy
+   - skip too few useful messages
+   - trigger on interval or message cap
+4. Implement LLM prompt and parser for durable facts:
+   - output JSON array of items
+   - allowed types only
+   - confidence score
+   - concise memory text
+   - optional entity/relation hints
+5. Use `usageCaps.Chat` with purpose `channel-memory-extraction`.
+6. Store run/item status transitions.
+7. Emit audit activity for run started/completed/failed.
+8. Wire worker start/stop in gateway with conservative ticker and concurrency.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Config parser tests pass.
+- [ ] Redactor tests pass.
+- [ ] Candidate selector tests pass.
+- [ ] Worker run lifecycle tests pass.
+- [ ] Provider failure leaves run `failed` and does not block gateway.
+- [ ] Usage cap purpose covered.
+- [ ] Gateway wiring starts worker only when channels + stores are available.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Worker creates review items from eligible group messages.
+- [ ] No raw unredacted message text stored in new tables.
+- [ ] Duplicate scans do not create duplicate runs/items.
+- [ ] Provider failures are non-fatal and auditable.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+The redactor can false-positive and reduce extraction quality. Accept for v1. Better to drop sensitive content than store it.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Prompt must explicitly reject secrets and low-confidence guesses. Logs must include counts and IDs, not raw message body.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Approved review items can write to Memory/KG after queue semantics are stable.

+- Semantic worker: `internal/consolidation/semantic_worker.go`
+- KG store: `internal/store/knowledge_graph_store.go`
+- Activity store: `internal/store/activity_store.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add approve/reject/delete semantics and connect approved channel extraction items to existing episodic Memory and KG ingestion. Keep review queue default-on.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: list pending items, approve, reject, delete, manual write, idempotent re-approve, source metadata preserved.
+- Non-functional: approved summaries become searchable like episodic memory; KG receives only approved/redacted text; all writes are tenant/agent scoped.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Approval writes one episodic summary with:
+
+- `SourceType`: `channel`
+- `SourceID`: deterministic `channel:<run_id>:<item_id>`
+- `SessionKey`: synthetic, e.g. `channel:<channel_name>:<history_key>`
+- `Summary`: approved redacted memory text
+- `KeyTopics`: extracted normalized topics/entities
+- `UserID`: approving admin or configured channel agent owner user, decided in implementation after re-checking current auth model
+
+Then publish `EventEpisodicCreated` so `semanticWorker` extracts KG facts through the existing path.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/consolidation/episodic_worker.go` only if helpers can be reused without changing session behavior.
+- Create: `internal/consolidation/channel_memory_writer.go`
+- Modify: `internal/eventbus/event_types.go` only if channel-specific payload is genuinely needed; prefer existing `EventEpisodicCreated`.
+- Modify: new `ChannelMemoryExtractionStore` from Phase 2.
+- Create: tests in `internal/consolidation/channel_memory_writer_test.go`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write failing tests for approve idempotency:
+   - first approve creates episodic and marks item written/approved
+   - second approve no-ops
+   - rejected/deleted item cannot be approved unless restored is explicitly implemented, which v1 does not need
+2. Implement writer service that depends on:
+   - `ChannelMemoryExtractionStore`
+   - `EpisodicStore`
+   - `DomainEventBus`
+   - `ActivityStore`
+3. Create episodic summary from approved item with deterministic source ID.
+4. Publish existing `EventEpisodicCreated` with redacted summary.
+5. Record activity:
+   - `channel_memory.item.approved`
+   - `channel_memory.item.rejected`
+   - `channel_memory.item.deleted`
+   - `channel_memory.item.written`
+6. Add delete/forget behavior:
+   - v1 deletes queued item if not written
+   - if written, mark deleted and delete associated episodic summary when source ID matches
+   - KG deletion for already-ingested facts may be best-effort by source metadata if existing KG store supports it; otherwise flag as v1 limitation in UI/docs
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add writer service tests.
+- [ ] Implement approve/reject/delete transitions.
+- [ ] Implement episodic write.
+- [ ] Publish existing semantic event.
+- [ ] Add activity logs.
+- [ ] Verify session episodic tests remain unchanged.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Approved item appears in episodic search.
+- [ ] KG extraction path is triggered through existing event bus.
+- [ ] Re-approve cannot duplicate episodic/KG data.
+- [ ] Reject/delete are auditable.
+- [ ] Tenant mismatch tests fail closed.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Deleting KG facts after approval may require source-level relation tracking not present today. If exact deletion is not supported, v1 must be honest: delete queued item + episodic source, and mark KG cleanup as best-effort/manual dedup.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Approval endpoint must require tenant admin for tenant-scoped channel rows. Master-scope owner is not required because rows are tenant-scoped.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Expose the review queue and settings through API/UI.

+- UI types: `ui/web/src/types/channel.ts`
+- i18n: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/channels.json`
+
+## Overview
+
+Expose passive memory settings and review queue in channel detail. Keep the UI operator-focused: no global dashboard in v1.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: configure, manually run extraction, show last run, show counts, approve/reject/delete pending items.
+- Non-functional: mobile-safe controls, no raw secret/PII display beyond already-redacted item text, i18n in EN/VI/ZH.
+
+## Architecture
+
+HTTP endpoints under channel instance scope:
+
+- `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/memory-extraction`
+- `PUT /v1/channels/instances/{id}/memory-extraction/settings`
+- `POST /v1/channels/instances/{id}/memory-extraction/run`
+- `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/memory-extraction/items`

+- `POST /v1/channels/instances/{id}/memory-extraction/items/{itemID}/reject`
+- `DELETE /v1/channels/instances/{id}/memory-extraction/items/{itemID}`
+
+WS methods are optional in v1. Prefer HTTP because current web hooks already use HTTP for channel instances.

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add HTTP handler tests first:
+   - viewer can read status/items
+   - admin required for settings/run/approve/reject/delete
+   - tenant mismatch returns not found/forbidden without leaking row existence
+2. Add settings validation:
+   - interval min/max
+   - message cap min/max
+   - retention min/max
+   - allowed types from enum
+   - exclude patterns bounded length/count
+3. Add routes to `ChannelInstancesHandler.RegisterRoutes`.
+4. Implement UI hook with TanStack Query and invalidation on mutation.
+5. Build `PassiveMemorySection`:
+   - toggle
+   - interval and cap numeric inputs
+   - review mode toggle
+   - allowed type checkboxes
+   - last run summary
+   - manual run button
+   - pending extracted items list
+   - approve/reject/delete buttons
+6. Add i18n keys to EN/VI/ZH channel namespace.
+7. Ensure mobile rules:
+   - inputs use `text-base md:text-sm`
+   - tables/lists horizontally safe
+   - buttons have sufficient hit area
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add HTTP route tests.
+- [ ] Implement handler validation.
+- [ ] Add UI hook.
+- [ ] Add channel detail section.
+- [ ] Add i18n strings.
+- [ ] Add basic UI tests if existing setup supports it; otherwise rely on build + manual browser verification.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Admin can enable passive memory for a channel.
+- [ ] Admin can force a run.
+- [ ] Pending items appear after extraction.
+- [ ] Admin can approve/reject/delete items.
+- [ ] Viewer cannot mutate settings/items.
+- [ ] Web build passes.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+UI can balloon. Keep it as one compact channel-detail section. Do not add global review inbox until v1 proves useful.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+UI must show redaction status and avoid displaying raw source messages. If source preview is needed later, it must be separate permissioned work.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Run full verification, docs, and issue handoff.

+# Phase 6: Verification Documentation and Ship Readiness
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Post-implementation checklist in `CLAUDE.md`
+- Docs to update: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`, `docs/06-store-data-model.md`, `docs/07-bootstrap-skills-memory.md`, `docs/09-security.md`, `docs/18-http-api.md`, `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Local verification memory: `go build ./...`, `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`, `go vet ./...`
+
+## Overview
+
+Prove the feature is safe, documented, and ready for implementation PR review. This phase owns the final consistency sweep and release notes.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: all new tests pass; user-facing docs describe opt-in, review queue, redaction, retention, deletion limits.
+- Non-functional: compile in PG and SQLite builds, no known tenant isolation gaps, no stale plan references in code comments.
+
+## Architecture
+
+No new architecture. This phase verifies all layers together:
+
+1. schema migration
+2. store contracts
+3. worker batching/redaction
+4. review queue writer
+5. HTTP/UI controls
+6. docs
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Modify: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- Modify: `docs/06-store-data-model.md`
+- Modify: `docs/07-bootstrap-skills-memory.md`
+- Modify: `docs/09-security.md`
+- Modify: `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- Modify: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Possibly modify: `docs/codebase-summary.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run focused Go tests:
+   - `go test ./internal/consolidation`
+   - `go test ./internal/http`
+   - `go test ./internal/store/pg`
+   - `go test -tags sqliteonly ./internal/store/sqlitestore`
+2. Run compile/static checks:
+   - `go build ./...`
+   - `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   - `go vet ./...`
+3. Run web checks:
+   - `cd ui/web && pnpm build`
+4. If UI changed, run local dev server and browser-check channel detail at desktop/mobile widths.
+5. Update docs listed above.
+6. Update `docs/project-changelog.md`.
+7. Whole-plan consistency sweep:
+   - search code and docs for stale names such as `passiveExtraction`, `channel_memory`, `memory-extraction`
+   - verify route names match docs and UI hooks
+   - verify schema version numbers match migrations
+8. Prepare PR summary with test results and privacy caveats.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Focused tests pass.
+- [ ] PG build passes.
+- [ ] SQLite build passes.
+- [ ] Vet passes.
+- [ ] Web build passes.
+- [ ] Browser verification done if UI implemented.
+- [ ] Docs updated.
+- [ ] Changelog updated.
+- [ ] Whole-plan consistency sweep clean.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Feature satisfies all issue #64 acceptance criteria selected for v1.
+- [ ] No failing tests ignored.
+- [ ] Any unsupported v1 behavior documented explicitly.
+- [ ] PR is ready for code review.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Integration tests with PG/pgvector may require local service. If unavailable, document exactly which integration tests were skipped and why; do not claim full verification.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Final review must include a targeted scan for raw message body persistence, secrets in logs, missing tenant predicates, and unauthorized mutation paths.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After plan approval, execute with `/ck:cook <plan-path>` or equivalent implementation workflow.

+# Passive Channel Memory Extraction
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement issue #64 as a privacy-first v1. Agents may learn durable context from group/channel conversations they already receive, but only after a channel admin enables the feature. Extraction is batched, redacted, reviewable, tenant-scoped, and writes to Memory/KG only after approval or explicit high-confidence auto-approve.
+
+Hard boundary: no realtime per-message extraction, no default enablement, no permanent raw full-history store, and no cross-channel memory sharing.
+
+## Current Codebase Anchors
+
+| Area | Existing anchor |
+|------|-----------------|
+| Channel instances | `channel_instances.config`, `internal/store/channel_instance_store.go`, `internal/http/channel_instances.go`, `internal/gateway/methods/channel_instances.go` |
+| Group buffer | `channel_pending_messages`, `internal/store/pending_message_store.go`, `internal/channels/history.go`, `internal/channels/history_compaction.go` |
+| Memory/KG pipeline | `internal/consolidation/episodic_worker.go`, `internal/consolidation/semantic_worker.go`, `internal/knowledgegraph/extractor.go` |
+| Activity audit | `internal/store/activity_store.go`, `internal/http/activity.go`, `emitAudit(...)` call sites |
+| Runtime wiring | `cmd/gateway.go`, `cmd/gateway_http_handlers.go`, `cmd/gateway_http_wiring.go`, `cmd/gateway_channels_setup.go` |
+| Web UI | `ui/web/src/pages/channels/`, `ui/web/src/pages/memory/`, `ui/web/src/types/channel.ts` |
+| Schema versions | PG next migration `000074`; bump `internal/upgrade/version.go` from 73. SQLite bump `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.go` from 42 to 43 |
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Research and Characterization Tests](./phase-01-research-and-characterization-tests.md) | Pending |
+| 2 | [Schema and Store Contracts](./phase-02-schema-and-store-contracts.md) | Pending |
+| 3 | [Extractor Worker and Redaction](./phase-03-extractor-worker-and-redaction.md) | Pending |
+| 4 | [Memory KG Review Queue Integration](./phase-04-memory-kg-review-queue-integration.md) | Pending |
+| 5 | [Channel Settings UI and Admin Controls](./phase-05-channel-settings-ui-and-admin-controls.md) | Pending |
+| 6 | [Verification Documentation and Ship Readiness](./phase-06-verification-documentation-and-ship-readiness.md) | Pending |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#64`
+- Existing group pending-message persistence must stay intact for channel context.
+- Existing Memory/KG workers must keep session behavior unchanged.
+- Standard edition only for channels. Lite has no channels, so SQLite migrations still must compile/apply, but UI should naturally hide channel surfaces through existing edition gates.
+
+## Recommended Defaults
+
+| Setting | Default | Reason |
+|---------|---------|--------|
+| `enabled` | `false` | Sensitive feature; explicit opt-in only |
+| `review_mode` | `true` | Prevent accidental durable PII/secret storage |
+| `interval_minutes` | `360` | Cheap daily-ish cadence without long wait |
+| `message_cap` | `100` | Batching per issue request |
+| `retention_hours` | `168` | 7-day raw buffer cap, same spirit as pending-message TTL |
+| `allowed_types` | people, projects, decisions, todos, preferences, events | Durable work context only |
+| `group_only` | `true` for v1 | Avoid DM privacy ambiguity |
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Passive extraction is disabled by default and opt-in per channel instance.
+- [ ] Extraction runs only by interval, message cap, or manual trigger.
+- [ ] Raw channel messages are read from tenant-scoped pending buffers and are not stored permanently outside existing retention.
+- [ ] Redaction blocks common secrets, tokens, credentials, payment/banking data, phone/address patterns, and configurable excluded users/patterns before durable writes.
+- [ ] Extracted items go to a review queue by default.
+- [ ] Approved items write to `episodic_summaries` with `source_type='channel'` and deterministic `source_id`.
+- [ ] KG ingestion receives only approved/redacted summaries and records source metadata.
+- [ ] Review reject/delete removes queued items and prevents later writes.
+- [ ] Tenant/channel/agent boundaries covered by tests.
+- [ ] PG and SQLite schemas both migrate and compile.
+- [ ] UI exposes settings, last run status, pending items, approve/reject/delete, and manual run.
+
+## Key Risks
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Durable sensitive-data leak | Redaction before queue, review default, no raw full-history durable copy |
+| Duplicate facts | Deterministic run/item source IDs, store-level uniqueness, reuse KG dedup worker |
+| Cross-tenant leak | Tenant-scoped queries and tests before implementation |
+| Cost spike | Batched triggers, minimum content gate, usage caps purpose string |
+| UX overbuild | Channel detail section only in v1; no separate global console |
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- None for v1. Assumptions: review queue required, group channels first, UI in channel detail.

+
+## Overview
+
+Lock the API contracts and threat model before implementation. This phase should produce failing tests or contract snapshots for the expected DTOs, plus a concise scope note that separates channel login credentials from MCP/CLI scoped credentials.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Existing `groups` tab is Telegram config overrides, not a general group/member view.
+- Existing channel credentials are encrypted channel-login data; they must not become MCP/CLI runtime credentials.
+- MCP access currently resolves server defaults + per-user credentials only.
+- Secure CLI access currently resolves global binary + agent grant + user credential only.
+- `agent_config_permissions` is for config/file-writer grants and should not be stretched into MCP/CLI grant storage.
+- Discord currently captures guild/channel metadata but does not expose full live members/roles without extra intent work.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Define canonical context scope model for `channel`, `group`, and `member` rows.
+- Define masked credential DTOs that never include raw secret values.
+- Define source labels for effective capability and credential rows: global, agent, channel, group, user.
+- Define permission requirements for read vs write endpoints.
+- Document resolver precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Add HTTP DTOs near existing channel/admin route files; keep store structs separate from UI response structs.
+- Keep MCP and Secure CLI resolver changes behind explicit scope inputs instead of reading mutable process-global state.
+- Represent channel context with stable fields: `channelInstanceID`, `channelType`, `scopeType`, `scopeKey`, `displayName`, `source`, `lastSeenAt`.
+- Treat Discord role/member support as a provider capability flag until verified.
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Modify later: `internal/store/channel_contact_store.go`
+- Modify later: `internal/store/mcp_store.go`
+- Modify later: `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go`
+- Modify later: `ui/web/src/types/channel.ts`
+- Modify later: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/*`
+- Create later only if needed: focused DTO/test files with kebab-case or existing Go naming convention.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write failing backend tests for channel context DTO masking and tenant-scoped route authorization.
+2. Write failing resolver contract tests that encode credential precedence without creating new tables yet.
+3. Add a short issue-scope note in this plan directory if implementation discovers a contract gap.
+4. Verify all planned endpoint names against existing route structure before coding handlers.
+5. Verify current UI route/i18n conventions before adding visible strings.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add backend contract tests for context list shape and permission checks.
+- [ ] Add resolver precedence characterization tests for MCP and Secure CLI.
+- [ ] Confirm UI i18n key placement for new channel detail tabs.
+- [ ] Confirm Discord provider capability and permissions needed for live member/role sync.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Tests fail for the intended missing behavior before implementation.
+- [ ] Contract fields and precedence rules are explicit and cited in later phase code.
+- [ ] No plan step relies on raw credential reveal.
+- [ ] No plan step reuses `channel_instances.credentials` for MCP/CLI secrets.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: resolver scope leaks across tenants. Mitigation: tenant ID on every new table/query and route-level tenant checks.
+- Risk: UI implies Discord support that backend cannot provide. Mitigation: capability flags and documented fallback.
+- Risk: scope strings become ad hoc. Mitigation: typed scope model plus tests.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Never serialize raw secrets.
+- Audit all write operations in later phases.
+- Use existing encrypted storage patterns and parameterized SQL only.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Proceed to Phase 2 after route/DTO tests are committed or queued in the implementation branch.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None for planning; Discord depth remains a phase gate.

+- Feishu member implementation: `internal/channels/feishu/feishu.go`
+- Discord metadata source: `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add a read-only admin view for channel contexts and members/users. This should make the channel detail page useful before introducing new grant or credential mutations.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Show channel contexts/groups discovered from contacts and supported provider APIs.
+- Show members/users for a selected context when available.
+- Show source and freshness: stored contact, live provider, config writer scope, or unsupported.
+- Preserve existing Telegram override editing until it is intentionally replaced or renamed.
+- Enforce tenant isolation and admin/operator read permissions.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Add a channel context service that aggregates stored contacts plus provider-supported group/member APIs.
+- Add HTTP endpoints under existing channel instance routes:
+  - `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts`
+  - `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts/{scopeType}/{scopeKey}/members`
+- Extend channel contact store filters to support channel instance and context filters.
+- UI adds a general `Contexts` tab for all channel types and keeps Telegram overrides as a separate advanced section if still needed.

+- `ui/web/src/pages/channels/hooks/use-channel-detail.ts`
+- `ui/web/src/types/channel.ts`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add backend tests for context listing, member listing, tenant mismatch, and unsupported provider responses.
+2. Add channel-instance filtering to contact store interfaces and PG/SQLite implementations.
+3. Implement read-only context/member HTTP handlers using existing auth middleware and masked DTOs.
+4. Add UI query hooks and type definitions for contexts and members.
+5. Add a general channel detail tab with loading, empty, error, and unsupported states.
+6. Add i18n keys to all web locale files before rendering new user-facing strings.
+7. Keep Telegram override editing intact and avoid changing channel config behavior in this phase.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Backend tests fail first for `/contexts` and `/members`.
+- [ ] Store filters support `channel_instance` without full scans.
+- [ ] UI tests cover tab visibility, empty state, and unsupported provider state.
+- [ ] Existing channel detail behavior remains unchanged for general/credentials/managers tabs.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Admin can see groups/contexts and members/users where data exists.
+- [ ] Unsupported live member sync is explicit in the UI instead of silently blank.
+- [ ] Tenant isolation tests pass for both PG and SQLite paths where applicable.
+- [ ] No mutation endpoints are added in this phase.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: `channel_contacts` has incomplete rows for some providers. Mitigation: label source/freshness and use provider capability flags.
+- Risk: adding filters breaks contact search. Mitigation: preserve existing default list/search behavior with regression tests.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Read endpoints must scope by authenticated tenant and selected channel instance.
+- Do not include provider tokens or channel credentials in responses.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 3 can consume the selected context model to display effective MCP/CLI capability rows.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None.

+- Channel detail UI: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+
+## Overview
+
+Show the effective MCP servers/tools and Secure CLI packages for a channel context before allowing edits. This phase is read-only and should expose why access exists, not just whether access exists.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Display MCP servers with tool allow/deny summaries and source labels.
+- Display Secure CLI packages/binaries with source labels and masked env availability.
+- Show future channel/group override slots as "not configured" until Phase 4/5 tables exist.
+- Keep read endpoint tenant-scoped and usable by admins/operators with appropriate channel access.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Add an effective capability aggregation service that composes existing MCP and Secure CLI store calls.
+- Add endpoint under channel instance routes:
+  - `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts/{scopeType}/{scopeKey}/capabilities`
+- Response groups rows by capability type: `mcp_server`, `mcp_tool`, `secure_cli`.
+- Avoid resolver mutation in this phase; this is visibility over existing agent/user/global grants plus planned context placeholder metadata.

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add backend tests for effective capability response shape using existing agent/user grants.
+2. TDD: add UI tests for capability matrix source labels and masked secret indicators.
+3. Implement a read-only aggregator that calls existing MCP and Secure CLI stores.
+4. Add handler under channel instance route group with tenant/channel authorization.
+5. Add UI matrix with filters for MCP, CLI, and source.
+6. Add i18n keys in all web locale files.
+7. Document that edit controls remain disabled until Phase 4/5.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Backend tests prove source labels for global, agent, and user-derived access.
+- [ ] UI tests cover empty, partial, and mixed MCP/CLI rows.
+- [ ] No new schema is introduced in this phase.
+- [ ] No raw credential values appear in capability responses.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Admin can see granted MCP servers/tools for a selected channel context.
+- [ ] Admin can see granted Secure CLI packages/binaries for a selected channel context.
+- [ ] Source labels are visible and consistent with resolver precedence.
+- [ ] Read-only endpoint has tenant isolation tests.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: read model diverges from actual runtime resolver. Mitigation: use existing store access methods where possible and add characterization tests before later resolver edits.
+- Risk: UI becomes noisy. Mitigation: default grouped display and simple filters.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Mask all environment and credential indicators.
+- Return only metadata required to administer access.
+
+## Next Steps
+

+# Phase 4: Context-scoped Grants
+
+## Context Links
+
+- MCP grant schema: `migrations/000001_init_schema.up.sql`, later MCP migrations, `internal/store/pg/mcp_servers_access.go`
+- Secure CLI grant schema: `migrations/000058_secure_cli_binaries.up.sql`, `migrations/000073_secure_cli_typed_credentials.up.sql`
+- SQLite schema: `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.sql`, `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.go`
+- Upgrade version: `internal/upgrade/version.go`
+- Grant APIs: `internal/http/mcp_grants.go`, `internal/http/secure_cli_agent_grants.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add channel/group scoped grants for MCP and Secure CLI. This is the first write phase and requires dual database migrations, resolver changes, audit logs, and UI mutation controls.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Add dedicated context grant tables; do not overload `agent_config_permissions`.
+- Scope every row by tenant, channel instance, scope type, and scope key.
+- Support grant sources: channel and group/member-role.
+- Preserve existing agent/user grant behavior.
+- Audit create/update/delete operations.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Proposed tables:
+  - `mcp_context_grants`
+  - `secure_cli_context_grants`
+- Common columns: `id`, `tenant_id`, `channel_instance_id`, `scope_type`, `scope_key`, resource ID, allow/deny or config overrides, `granted_by`, timestamps.
+- Add PG migrations and SQLite full schema + incremental migrations in the same implementation PR.
+- Extend resolver input with channel context. Prefer explicit params where call sites already carry channel metadata; use context values only when explicit threading would create broad churn.
+- Runtime grant precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.
+
+## Related Code Files

+- `internal/http/mcp_grants.go`
+- `internal/http/secure_cli_agent_grants.go`
+- `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add migration tests or store tests that fail until context grant tables exist in PG and SQLite.
+2. TDD: add resolver tests proving group grant overrides channel grant, and user grant overrides both.
+3. Add PG up/down migrations and bump `RequiredSchemaVersion`.
+4. Add SQLite schema and incremental migration map updates with `SchemaVersion` bump.
+5. Add store interfaces and PG/SQLite implementations for context grants.
+6. Extend MCP and Secure CLI resolvers to include context grants without breaking existing call sites.
+7. Add admin-only HTTP endpoints for create/update/delete/list context grants.
+8. Add UI controls to grant/revoke MCP/CLI rows for selected channel context.
+9. Emit security/audit logs on every write.
+10. Run dual DB compile and focused store/resolver tests.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add failing PG and SQLite tests for context grant persistence.
+- [ ] Add failing resolver precedence tests.
+- [ ] Add dual DB migrations and version bumps.
+- [ ] Add audited admin endpoints.
+- [ ] Add UI mutation controls with disabled/loading/error states.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Channel/group scoped grants can be created, listed, updated, and revoked.
+- [ ] Effective capability matrix shows channel/group grant sources.
+- [ ] Existing agent/user MCP and CLI flows keep passing.
+- [ ] PG and SQLite schema versions are both updated.
+- [ ] Audit logs include actor, tenant, channel instance, scope, resource, and action.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: resolver signature churn touches many runtime paths. Mitigation: enumerate all callers before editing and add compile-time failures as guide.
+- Risk: partial migration coverage breaks desktop. Mitigation: SQLite schema update is mandatory in the same phase.
+- Risk: broad grants accidentally cross tenant. Mitigation: tenant in primary queries and route authorization tests.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Admin writes must use tenant admin or master-scope checks according to table ownership.
+- SQL must be parameterized and indexed on tenant/channel/scope/resource columns.
+- Never log secret material from overrides.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 5 adds scoped credential storage after grant resolver behavior is stable.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Decide exact DB constraint names during implementation after checking existing migration naming style.

+# Phase 5: Context-scoped Credentials
+
+## Context Links
+
+- MCP credentials: `internal/http/mcp_user_credentials.go`, `internal/store/pg/mcp_user_credentials.go`, `internal/mcp/manager.go`
+- Secure CLI credentials: `internal/http/secure_cli_user_credentials.go`, `internal/store/pg/secure_cli.go`, `internal/tools/secure_cli*`
+- Encryption patterns: `internal/crypto/`, existing encrypted store columns
+- Security docs: `docs/09-security.md`, `docs/20-api-keys-auth.md`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add channel/group scoped credential overrides for MCP and Secure CLI. This phase must be stricter than grants because it stores encrypted secrets and changes runtime credential resolution.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Store MCP and CLI context credentials in dedicated encrypted tables.
+- Never return raw secret values through list/detail endpoints.
+- Support create/update/delete with audit logs.
+- Apply precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.
+- Clearly label whether a capability is using global, agent, channel, group, or user credentials.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Proposed tables:
+  - `mcp_context_credentials`
+  - `secure_cli_context_credentials`
+- Scope columns match Phase 4 grant tables.
+- MCP credential payload follows current per-user model: API key, headers, env.
+- Secure CLI credential payload follows current typed credential model and encrypted env behavior.
+- Runtime resolvers should merge defaults first, then progressively apply agent/channel/group/user overrides.
+- UI uses masked fields, "configured" flags, and explicit reset/delete actions.

+- `internal/http/secure_cli_user_credentials.go`
+- `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add credential masking tests for HTTP list/detail responses.
+2. TDD: add resolver precedence tests for global, agent, channel, group, and user credentials.
+3. TDD: add audit tests or log assertions for credential create/update/delete where existing test patterns allow.
+4. Add PG and SQLite encrypted credential tables and version bumps.
+5. Add store interfaces and implementations using existing encryption helpers.
+6. Add admin endpoints for scoped MCP credentials and scoped Secure CLI credentials.
+7. Update MCP manager credential resolution with context scope input.
+8. Update Secure CLI lookup/credential resolution with context scope input.
+9. Add UI credential forms with masked values, configured flags, and delete/reset flows.
+10. Update docs to document precedence and masking behavior.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add failing tests proving no raw secrets are serialized.
+- [ ] Add failing runtime resolver precedence tests.
+- [ ] Add PG and SQLite schema changes together.
+- [ ] Add audited credential write endpoints.
+- [ ] Add UI forms with masked values only.
+- [ ] Update security/API docs.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Admin can configure channel/group scoped MCP credentials.
+- [ ] Admin can configure channel/group scoped Secure CLI credentials.
+- [ ] Runtime uses scoped credentials according to documented precedence.
+- [ ] UI labels credential source and override state.
+- [ ] All list/detail endpoints return masked metadata only.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: raw secret leakage in UI/API/logs. Mitigation: masking tests and no reveal endpoint in this phase.
+- Risk: agent/global config accidentally overwritten by channel edits. Mitigation: dedicated tables and explicit scope keys.
+- Risk: resolver behavior differs between MCP and CLI. Mitigation: shared precedence test cases.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Encrypt all stored secret payloads using existing crypto patterns.
+- Audit create/update/delete, but never audit payload values.
+- Rate-limit or omit reveal flows; default is no raw reveal.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 6 verifies Discord-specific behavior and closes docs gaps.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Whether to support one-time reveal for newly-created secrets is intentionally out of scope unless explicitly approved.

+# Phase 6: Discord Enrichment and Verification
+
+## Context Links

+- Discord channel: `internal/channels/discord/discord.go`, `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+- Channel docs: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- Permission matrix docs: `docs/23-ai-agent-permission-matrix.md`
+- Web channel detail UI: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+
+## Overview
+
+Validate Discord-specific group/member behavior after the generic channel context surface works. Ship either real Discord enrichment or a documented follow-up, depending on verified Discord intents and permission requirements.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Support Discord guild/channel concepts in the channel detail page.
+- If live member/role listing is available, implement it behind capability checks.
+- If required intents are not available, show stored contacts and document the limitation.
+- Run final backend, SQLite, and web validation.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Reuse the Phase 2 context/member endpoints.
+- Add Discord provider capability flags rather than hardcoding UI assumptions.
+- Use stored contact metadata for baseline Discord user rows.
+- Only add live role/member sync after verifying gateway intents, bot permissions, and API rate limits.

+- `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- `docs/23-ai-agent-permission-matrix.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add Discord capability tests for stored-contact fallback and unsupported live members.
+2. Verify required Discord intents and permissions against the current channel setup.
+3. If safe, implement Discord `GroupMemberProvider` support for guild/channel/role views.
+4. If not safe, keep fallback UI and add a follow-up issue/note with exact missing permissions.
+5. Add docs for channel scoped grant and credential precedence.
+6. Run focused tests:
+   - `go test ./internal/http ./internal/channels ./internal/store/pg`
+   - `go test -tags sqliteonly ./internal/store/sqlitestore`
+   - `go build ./...`
+   - `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   - relevant `pnpm` checks in `ui/web/`
+7. Perform manual UI smoke for channel detail tabs.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add Discord fallback tests before behavior change.
+- [ ] Verify intents/permissions before live sync.
+- [ ] Implement or document Discord live member/role support.
+- [ ] Update docs for final shipped behavior.
+- [ ] Run backend, SQLite, and web validation.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Discord channel details show guild/channel/user context without cross-tenant leakage.
+- [ ] Live Discord member/role support is either implemented with verified permissions or documented as a precise follow-up.
+- [ ] Final docs describe precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.
+- [ ] Final verification commands pass or failures are documented with root cause.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: Discord member intent requires privileged configuration. Mitigation: capability gate and documented follow-up.
+- Risk: Discord API rate limits from live member fetch. Mitigation: cache/stored contacts first; live fetch only where safe.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Do not expose Discord tokens or raw provider credentials.
+- Keep all context/member rows tenant and channel-instance scoped.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Open implementation PR after all phases pass and issue acceptance criteria are checked.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Discord live role/member support depends on verified bot intents and permissions.

+# Issue 66 Channel Context Admin Surface
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement issue #66 as an incremental channel-context admin surface, not a one-shot RBAC rewrite.
+
+The first usable milestone is read-only: channel groups/contexts, members/users, and effective MCP/CLI capability visibility. Mutations come after contracts and tests prove tenant isolation, masking, audit logging, and resolver precedence.
+
+Credential precedence is: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global. This keeps user credentials most specific and avoids shared channel secrets overriding a user's explicit credential.
+
+Out of scope for the first implementation pass: raw credential reveal, storing MCP/CLI secrets in `channel_instances.credentials`, and full Discord role/member sync without validating required Discord intents and permissions.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Research and Contracts](./phase-01-research-and-contracts.md) | Pending |

+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/66
+- Existing web UI: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+- Existing HTTP routes: `internal/http/channel_instances.go`, `internal/http/mcp_grants.go`, `internal/http/secure_cli_agent_grants.go`
+- Existing stores: `internal/store/pg/`, `internal/store/sqlitestore/`, `internal/store/*mcp*`, `internal/store/*secure_cli*`
+- Migration rule: PostgreSQL migrations and SQLite schema/migration map must stay in sync.
+- Verification baseline: focused Go tests first, then `go build ./...`, `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`, and relevant web checks with `pnpm` in `ui/web/`.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Confirm whether Discord live role/member enrichment ships in v1 or stays documented after read-only context visibility.

+## Channel context capabilities
+
+Channel instances expose stored contexts in the dashboard and API. The base
+context is the channel instance itself; group contexts come from stored channel
+contacts. Capability rows combine MCP and Secure CLI visibility for that
+context, including source, enabled state, tool allow/deny lists, and credential
+presence.
+
+Context credential rows never return secret material. They only project
+metadata such as `has_api_key`, `has_env`, `credential_source`, and key names
+where available. Writes are tenant-admin gated, and runtime resolution carries
+`ChannelContextScope` so grants and credentials are applied only to matching
+channel/group scope.

+
+### Channel context admin surface (issue #66)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added channel context APIs under `/v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts` for stored channel/group contexts, members, and effective MCP/Secure CLI capability matrix.
+- Added tenant-scoped context grants and context credentials for MCP servers and Secure CLI binaries, with PostgreSQL migration `000074` and SQLite schema version `43`.
+- Runtime tool execution now carries `ChannelContextScope`; MCP and Secure CLI resolution apply context grants/credentials before user credential overrides.
+- Web dashboard channel detail page now has a `Contexts` tab showing contexts, stored members, effective granted tools, and scoped credential presence without exposing secret values.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Context capability write APIs use tenant-admin checks.
+- Credential APIs return presence/metadata only; raw MCP API keys, headers/env values, and Secure CLI env values are never serialized.
+- MCP grant-check cache key includes channel scope so scoped grants do not leak across channel contexts.

+
+Passive channel memory is an opt-in per-channel feature. When enabled in
+`channel_instances.config.passive_memory`, the gateway periodically reads the
+existing tenant-scoped `channel_pending_messages` group buffers, redacts sensitive
+content, asks the background LLM provider for durable fact candidates, and stores
+only candidates in the review queue.
+
+Default behavior is privacy-first:
+
+- Disabled by default.
+- Group-only in v1.
+- Review mode enabled by default.
+- Runs by manual trigger, message cap, or interval.
+- New extraction tables store metadata, summaries, topics/entities, confidence,
+  status, and redaction counts, but not raw message bodies.
+
+Approved items write an `episodic_summaries` row with `source_type='channel'`
+and a deterministic `source_id`; existing consolidation workers then handle KG
+promotion. Reject/delete prevents later writes. Delete also removes the linked
+episodic row when one exists; already-promoted KG nodes are not synchronously
+deleted in v1.

+### Passive channel memory extraction (issue #64)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added opt-in per-channel passive memory extraction from pending group buffers, with scheduled/manual runs, redaction before LLM extraction, review queue items, and deterministic channel memory source IDs.
+- Added PostgreSQL migration `000075` and SQLite schema version `44` for `channel_memory_extraction_runs` and `channel_memory_extraction_items`.
+- Added tenant-admin HTTP APIs and channel detail UI controls for settings, manual run, last run status, and approve/reject/delete review actions.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Feature is disabled by default and group-only in v1.
+- Review mode is on by default; approved items write to `episodic_summaries` with `source_type='channel'` and then enter the existing KG consolidation event path.
+- Delete removes the review item and associated episodic summary when present. Existing KG nodes created before deletion may require later dedup/cleanup; raw channel messages are not copied into the new extraction tables.

-- [ ] Passive extraction is disabled by default and opt-in per channel instance.
-- [ ] Extraction runs only by interval, message cap, or manual trigger.
-- [ ] Raw channel messages are read from tenant-scoped pending buffers and are not stored permanently outside existing retention.
-- [ ] Redaction blocks common secrets, tokens, credentials, payment/banking data, phone/address patterns, and configurable excluded users/patterns before durable writes.
-- [ ] Extracted items go to a review queue by default.
-- [ ] Approved items write to `episodic_summaries` with `source_type='channel'` and deterministic `source_id`.
-- [ ] KG ingestion receives only approved/redacted summaries and records source metadata.
-- [ ] Review reject/delete removes queued items and prevents later writes.
-- [ ] Tenant/channel/agent boundaries covered by tests.
-- [ ] PG and SQLite schemas both migrate and compile.
-- [ ] UI exposes settings, last run status, pending items, approve/reject/delete, and manual run.

+- [x] Extracted items go to a review queue by default.
+- [x] Approved items write to `episodic_summaries` with `source_type='channel'` and deterministic `source_id`.

+
+### CLI Credentials git preset null-env crash (issue #93)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Stopped `/v1/cli-credentials/presets` from returning nullable preset arrays
+  for adapter-managed CLIs such as `git`; frontend now also normalizes older
+  `null` payloads defensively.
+- Allowed the `git` preset to create a SecureCLI binary without legacy env
+  vars and persisted its `adapter_name=git`, so the PAT/SSH user credential
+  flow activates after creation.
+- Guarded the preset env-var renderer against nullish `env_vars` to keep the
+  Runtime & Packages → CLI Credentials tab renderable.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added backend regression coverage for stable preset arrays and git preset
+  creation without legacy env.
+- Added frontend normalization coverage for nullable adapter-managed preset
+  arrays.

 Normal channel messages pass through the shared inbound debouncer before agent execution. `gateway.inbound_debounce_ms` merges rapid text messages from the same `channel:chatID:senderID:agentID`; `0` means no debounce and positive values set the wait window.

 ## 2026-05-29
 
+### Human-like channel delivery MVP (issue #67)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added `gateway.chat_behavior` runtime config for global quick acknowledgement and safe final multi-message splitting.
+- Added per-channel `chat_behavior` override support for channel instances that already participate in channel delivery settings.
+- Quick acknowledgements are emitted only for non-streaming channel runs and are cancelled when a block reply or terminal event arrives.
+- Final splitting applies only to non-streaming text-only final replies; unsafe Markdown, code, tables, lists, quotes, JSON, and URL-only paragraphs stay as one message.
+- Added `chat_behavior.preview` RPC plus dashboard controls and per-channel override fields.
+
+**Validation**
+
+- Added Go coverage for config resolution, preview, conservative splitting, and non-streaming quick acknowledgement delivery.
+- Verified focused Go packages, both Go builds, `go vet`, web Vitest, web production build, and `git diff --check`.
+
+**Out of scope**
+
+- No archive/timeline storage, renderer, share/export, or interleaved run history changes. Those remain issue #76 scope.

+
+# Phase 1: Contract and Splitter Tests
+
+## Overview
+
+Define the behavior contract before runtime changes. Add tests for safe final-message splitting and config structures, then implement only the minimal splitter helpers needed to make those tests pass.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: split final content only when enabled, over minimum length, and safe to split.
+- Functional: return one message when splitting would damage formatting.
+- Non-functional: deterministic output, no platform-specific network behavior, no sleeps in unit tests.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Create a small channel-level behavior file under `internal/channels/` so channel delivery can reuse it without importing agent or gateway internals.
+
+Proposed types:
+- `ChatBehaviorConfig`
+- `QuickAckConfig`
+- `FinalSplitConfig`
+- `ResolvedChatBehavior`
+- `SplitFinalMessage(content string, cfg FinalSplitConfig) []string`
+
+The splitter may reuse `ChunkMarkdown` for max-length mechanics, but #67 splitting is semantic: max N human-like messages, not platform hard-limit chunks.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chunking.go` or create adjacent `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go`
+- Modify/Create tests: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/config/config_channels.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add tests for disabled config, short content, max message cap, min chars.
+2. Add tests for safe structures: fenced code blocks, markdown tables, bullet/numbered lists, block quotes, JSON/YAML/XML-looking blocks, URLs.
+3. Implement conservative splitter: split on double-newline paragraphs only when all resulting parts are safe and within max count.
+4. Add fallback: return original content unchanged on any unsafe structure or cap breach.
+5. Add config structs in `internal/config` with JSON tags but no runtime wiring yet.
+6. Run focused tests.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Splitter tests prove safe split and no-split edge cases.
+- [ ] Config structs compile in both PG and sqliteonly builds.
+- [ ] No existing channel hard-limit chunking behavior changes.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: existing `ChunkMarkdown` already force-splits code for hard platform limits, while #67 wants semantic split. Mitigation: keep semantic splitter separate and use hard chunking only after semantic split if needed by adapters.

+
+# Phase 2: Config Resolution and Preview API
+
+## Overview
+
+Wire global gateway config plus per-channel override resolution, then expose a no-side-effect preview API for ack and final split behavior.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: global config defaults apply when channel override omitted.
+- Functional: per-channel override can enable/disable ack and split independently.
+- Functional: preview API returns resolved config, ack decision, and split parts without dispatching.
+- Non-functional: master-scope/owner gate follows existing config mutation pattern.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use config structs with pointer fields for inheritance. Add resolver in `internal/channels` that takes gateway config, channel name/type config, and run traits.
+
+Preview uses a new read-only WS method:
+- method name: `chat_behavior.preview`
+- params: channel name/type, `isStreaming`, `isGroup`, `content`, optional `hasToolCalls`, optional `estimatedLongWork`
+- response: `resolved`, `ack`, `split`
+
+The method is master-scoped and owner-gated because it exposes resolved config details. It never dispatches outbound messages and never mutates config.
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Modify/Create: `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go`
+- Modify/Create: `internal/gateway/methods/chat_behavior.go`
+- Modify: `pkg/protocol/methods.go` or method constants file
+- Tests: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_test.go`, `internal/gateway/methods/*chat_behavior*_test.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add resolver tests: nil global, disabled global, enabled global, channel override true/false, partial override inheritance.
+2. Add preview method tests: no dispatch, validated payload, deterministic split output.
+3. Register `chat_behavior.preview` as a read-only owner/master-scope method.
+4. Add i18n errors only if user-facing backend errors are introduced.
+5. Run focused method/config tests.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Resolver is fully table-tested.
+- [ ] Preview API returns safe output and does not touch message bus.
+- [ ] Config patch compatibility remains unchanged.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: config shape becomes hard to evolve. Mitigation: nest under `chat_behavior`, use pointer fields for overrides, and avoid per-agent storage in MVP.

+
+# Phase 3: Runtime Acknowledgement and Final Splitting
+
+## Overview
+
+Attach resolved chat behavior to `RunContext`, send conservative quick acknowledgements for non-streaming channel runs, and split final assistant delivery after final content sanitization.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: ack only for non-streaming channel delivery and never for Web UI runs.
+- Functional: ack skips when config disabled, run completes before threshold, or a `block.reply` already delivered.
+- Functional: final split preserves existing `block.reply` and final dedup behavior.
+- Non-functional: no goroutine leaks, no sleeps in tests, cancellable timers.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Extend `RunContext` with a resolved behavior struct and ack state. Use injected clock/timer helpers where needed for tests.
+
+Event handling path:
+- `run.started`: begin ack timer only if non-streaming and enabled.
+- `block.reply`: mark intermediate content delivered; cancel pending ack.
+- `run.completed`: cancel pending ack, split final content if enabled, publish outbound parts.
+- `run.failed`/`run.cancelled`: cancel pending ack.
+
+Final split happens in the channel manager outbound forwarding path, before `bus.PublishOutbound`. Platform adapters still enforce hard message limits afterward.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/channel.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/runs.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/events.go`
+- Modify: channel registration call sites that pass `blockReply`/`toolStatus`
+- Tests: `internal/channels/events_test.go`, `internal/channels/runs_test.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add tests for ack gate using fake timer/clock.
+2. Add tests for no ack on streaming runs, disabled behavior, `block.reply`, quick completion, run failure/cancel.
+3. Add tests for final split publish count/order and metadata preservation.
+4. Implement `RunContext` behavior state and cancellation.
+5. Route final content through semantic splitter, then publish ordered outbound messages with configured delay.
+6. Ensure existing streaming and reaction handling unchanged.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Ack publish is deterministic under tests with no real-time sleeps.
+- [ ] Final split preserves routing metadata and tenant ID.
+- [ ] Existing `block.reply` tests still pass.
+- [ ] No archive/timeline storage touched.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: ack can become spam. Mitigation: default disabled/conservative, non-streaming only, cancel on `block.reply`, one ack max per run.

+
+# Phase 4: Dashboard Controls and Channel Overrides
+
+## Overview
+
+Expose global gateway controls in the Behavior config tab and per-channel overrides in existing channel forms.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: admins can enable/disable behavior, ack, and final splitting globally.
+- Functional: admins can set max split messages, min chars, delay, ack threshold, and templates.
+- Functional: each channel can inherit, enable, or disable the behavior fields.
+- Non-functional: use existing React config patterns and i18n in en/vi/zh.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Extend existing config UI instead of adding a new page.
+
+Global:
+- `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-section.tsx`
+- new focused sub-card if file growth risks >200 lines.
+
+Per-channel:
+- `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-schemas.ts`
+- add `chat_behavior.*` controls or grouped advanced fields if the form helper supports nested paths.
+
+Preview:
+- add a small dashboard preview panel that calls `chat_behavior.preview` and displays ack decision plus split message count/content.
+
+## Related Code Files
+

+- Modify/Create: `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-chat-card.tsx`

+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/vi/config.json`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/zh/config.json`
+- Tests if existing UI test pattern exists for config sections.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add/extend frontend types for config values.
+2. Add global behavior card with existing switch/input components.
+3. Add dashboard preview panel wired to `chat_behavior.preview`.
+4. Add per-channel override schema entries under Advanced behavior.
+5. Add i18n keys for all labels/help text.
+6. Keep components under 200 LOC or split into focused modules.
+7. Run `pnpm test -- --run` and `pnpm build`.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Global config patch writes the `gateway.chat_behavior` shape.
+- [ ] Dashboard preview calls `chat_behavior.preview` and displays ack/split results without sending messages.
+- [ ] Channel forms can write per-channel `chat_behavior` override.
+- [ ] No hardcoded new user-facing English strings in JSX.
+- [ ] Mobile controls use existing accessible input/select patterns.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: nested channel schema support may be limited. Mitigation: if nested paths are not supported, add a focused custom advanced panel rather than flattening backend config names.

+- Maybe modify: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`.
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#67`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run focused backend tests:
+   `go test ./internal/channels ./internal/config ./internal/gateway/methods`
+2. Run sqliteonly focused tests:
+   `go test -tags sqliteonly ./internal/channels ./internal/config ./internal/gateway/methods`
+3. Run compile/static gates:
+   `go build ./...`
+   `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   `go vet ./...`
+4. Run web gates:
+   `cd ui/web && pnpm test -- --run`
+   `cd ui/web && pnpm build`
+5. Run `git diff --check`.
+6. Update issue #67 with implementation summary and validation.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] All focused and broad validation commands pass or documented blocker exists.
+- [ ] PR targets `dev` for beta shipping.
+- [ ] Issue #67 has final comment and `ready to ship be` label after review/fix loop.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: full integration race tests may require external DB. Mitigation: run repo-standard compile/unit gates locally; only run integration DB tests if environment available and relevant.

+# Human-Like Channel Chat Behavior MVP
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement the approved MVP for issue #67.
+
+Scope:
+- runtime config for human-like channel chat behavior
+- quick acknowledgement before longer/tool work
+- safe final multi-message splitting for channel delivery
+- dashboard controls and preview API
+- global gateway defaults plus per-channel overrides only
+
+Explicitly out of scope:
+- issue #76 archive/timeline storage or renderer
+- per-agent overrides
+- Web UI acknowledgement delivery
+- streaming channel acknowledgement delivery
+- public share/export surfaces
+
+Recommended architecture: resolve behavior config into `RunContext` at run registration, emit ack from channel event handling for non-streaming runs, split final assistant content in the channel outbound path after final content sanitization.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Contract and Splitter Tests](./phase-01-contract-and-splitter-tests.md) | Pending |
+| 2 | [Config Resolution and Preview API](./phase-02-config-resolution-and-preview-api.md) | Pending |
+| 3 | [Runtime Acknowledgement and Final Splitting](./phase-03-runtime-acknowledgement-and-final-splitting.md) | Pending |
+| 4 | [Dashboard Controls and Channel Overrides](./phase-04-dashboard-controls-and-channel-overrides.md) | Pending |
+| 5 | [Validation and Handoff](./phase-05-validation-and-handoff.md) | Pending |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#67`
+- Related non-overlap issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#76`
+- Brainstorm report: `../reports/260529-1210-issue-67-human-like-chat-behavior-brainstorm.md`
+- Existing event/run surfaces: `internal/channels/runs.go`, `internal/channels/events.go`, `internal/agent/loop_run.go`
+- Existing block reply path: `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go`, `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_adapter.go`
+- Existing channel chunking: `internal/channels/chunking.go`
+- Existing config UI: `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-section.tsx`, `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-schemas.ts`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Ack sends only for non-streaming channel runs when enabled and gate passes.
+- [ ] Ack does not send for Web UI, streaming channel runs, disabled config, silent replies, or quick-complete runs.
+- [ ] Final split sends at most configured max messages, with configured delay between extra messages.
+- [ ] Splitter preserves fenced code, quotes, tables, lists, structured JSON/YAML/XML, links, and short messages.
+- [ ] Global gateway and per-channel config override resolution is deterministic and tested.
+- [ ] Preview API returns ack decision and split parts without sending messages.
+- [ ] Dashboard exposes global controls and per-channel overrides with i18n in en/vi/zh.
+- [ ] No schema/timeline persistence added; no issue #76 file overlap except references.

+# Issue 67 Plan Red Team
+
+## Summary
+
+Adversarial review found no blocker after tightening preview scope.
+
+## Findings
+
+| Severity | Finding | Resolution |
+|---|---|---|
+| Important | Preview API was described as candidate/optional. | Fixed: `chat_behavior.preview` is required and read-only. |
+| Important | Dashboard preview could be skipped despite approved MVP wording. | Fixed: preview panel required in Phase 4. |
+| Suggestion | Ack timing can be spammy if sent immediately on `run.started`. | Plan uses cancellable threshold timer and cancels on quick completion/block reply. |
+| Suggestion | Splitter can damage markdown. | Phase 1 requires tests-first conservative no-split fallback. |
+| Suggestion | #76 timeline overlap risk. | Explicit no archive/timeline persistence in plan and acceptance criteria. |
+
+## Whole-Plan Consistency Sweep
+
+- No stale optional preview language remains.
+- No implementation phase adds per-agent overrides.
+- No phase adds archive/timeline storage.
+- Validation commands cover Go, sqliteonly, vet, web tests/build, and diff whitespace.

+# Issue 67 Human-Like Chat Behavior Brainstorm
+
+## Summary
+
+Approved MVP: runtime config, quick acknowledgement, safe final multi-message splitting for channel delivery, dashboard/API preview.
+
+Out of scope: archive/timeline storage, issue #76 renderer, per-agent overrides, Web UI ack delivery, streaming channel ack delivery.
+
+## Codebase Findings
+
+- Go 1.26 backend, React 19/Vite web UI, Wails desktop. Config uses JSON5 plus WS `config.patch`.
+- Existing `block.reply` already emits intermediate assistant content during tool iterations from `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go`.
+- Channel manager already resolves `gateway.block_reply` plus per-channel overrides in `internal/channels/runs.go`.
+- Non-streaming channel delivery already uses `internal/channels/events.go` to publish `block.reply` as outbound messages.
+- Existing channel chunking exists in `internal/channels/chunking.go` and platform adapters; MVP should reuse/extend this, not add per-platform duplicate splitters.
+- Issue #76 plan owns durable run archive/timeline. This MVP must not add archive persistence or renderer work.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Expected output:
+- Non-streaming channel deliveries can send a quick acknowledgement before longer/tool work.
+- Final assistant content can be split into multiple safe outbound messages.
+- Dashboard config and API/WS preview surface exist for global gateway and per-channel overrides.
+
+Acceptance:
+- Ack does not send for Web UI, streaming channel runs, silent replies, disabled config, or trivial runs.
+- Splitter preserves fenced code blocks, block quotes, markdown tables, lists, structured JSON/YAML/XML, links, and short messages.
+- Config resolution supports global gateway defaults and per-channel override only.
+- Preview API returns deterministic ack/split decisions without dispatching messages.
+- Tests cover splitter edge cases, ack gating, config resolution, final dedup with `block.reply`, and disabled/group-safe defaults.
+
+Constraints:
+- Do not implement per-agent override in this slice.
+- Do not touch issue #76 timeline storage or archive renderer.
+- Use existing config and channel patterns.
+- Keep backward compatibility: default off or conservative.
+- Add i18n for new UI strings in en/vi/zh.
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons | Decision |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Channel-layer policy only | Smallest change | Ack timing weak, too late for complexity gate | Reject |
+| Run-context policy plus outbound helpers | Fits `RunContext`, clean delivery boundary, avoids #76 overlap | Needs careful dedup and tests | Choose |
+| Agent pipeline behavior stage | Centralized near agent output | Over-engineered, mixes delivery behavior into reasoning runtime | Reject |
+
+## Final Design
+
+Use a channel delivery policy resolved at run registration time.
+
+Config:
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.enabled`
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.quick_ack.enabled`
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.quick_ack.min_delay_ms`
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.quick_ack.templates`
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.final_split.enabled`
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.final_split.min_chars`
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.final_split.max_messages`
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.final_split.delay_ms`
+- per-channel `chat_behavior` override with same shape, nil fields inherit global.
+
+Runtime:
+- Resolve global plus channel override when `RegisterRun` creates `RunContext`.
+- Send ack from early run event handling only when non-streaming and enabled.
+- Prefer conservative gate: tool-capable/tool-run signal, non-streaming, no prior block reply, no streaming.
+- Split final content after sanitization and before outbound publish.
+- Preserve `block.reply` behavior. If final equals last block reply, keep existing dedup semantics.
+
+API/UI:
+- Add preview handler for ack and split output. No side effects.
+- Add global dashboard controls under Behavior.
+- Add per-channel override controls in channel schema.
+
+## Risks
+
+- Spam risk in group chats. Mitigate with default off, non-streaming only, and max message caps.
+- Splitter can break markdown. Mitigate with tests-first contract and conservative "do not split" fallback.
+- Ack can race with final response. Mitigate by min delay and skip when run completes quickly.
+- Config shape drift. Mitigate with JSON-compatible structs and nil inheritance.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Create TDD plan.
+2. Validate and red-team plan.
+3. Commit and push planning artifacts.
+4. Comment GitHub issue #67 and label `ready to implement`.
+5. Implement via TDD plan.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None.

+### Sandbox tenant workspace isolation (issue #68)
+
+**Security**
+
+- Scoped Docker sandbox workspace mounts to the effective tenant/session workspace from tool context instead of the global workspace root.
+- Kept the in-container UX stable: the effective workspace is mounted at `/workspace`.
+- Made Docker sandbox reuse workspace/config-aware so shared or agent-scoped containers cannot cross workspace boundaries.
+- Added fail-closed behavior when tenant-scoped sandbox execution has no effective workspace.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added unit coverage for effective sandbox workspace selection, `/workspace` cwd mapping, normal and credentialed sandbox exec, file-tool sandbox bridge mount selection, and Docker cache-key isolation.
+
+---

 ### Human-like channel delivery MVP (issue #67)

+
+## Context Links
+
+- Issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/68
+- Upstream issue: https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw/issues/1163
+- Docker mount creation: `internal/sandbox/docker.go`
+- Sandbox path helpers: `internal/tools/sandbox_utils.go`
+- Exec sandbox path: `internal/tools/shell.go`
+- File tools: `internal/tools/filesystem.go`, `internal/tools/filesystem_write.go`, `internal/tools/filesystem_list.go`, `internal/tools/edit.go`
+- FsBridge: `internal/sandbox/fsbridge.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Priority P0. First lock current behavior with tests so implementation fixes the mount namespace, not just tool-layer symptoms.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- `newDockerSandbox()` mounts the `workspace` argument at the container workdir when workspace access is enabled.
+- `ExecTool.executeInSandbox()` calls `sandboxMgr.Get(ctx, sandboxKey, t.workspace, ...)`, where `t.workspace` is the global workspace root.
+- `SandboxCwd()` maps effective request workspace to a subdirectory under `/workspace`, but shell commands can still address `/workspace` directly because the global tree is mounted.
+- `ResolveSandboxPath()` and `FsBridge` already clamp file-tool paths to the effective container cwd; keep and test these protections.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Add tests proving sandbox creation uses the effective workspace from context when present.
+- Add tests proving `sandboxKey` or manager reuse cannot return a container for a different effective workspace.
+- Add a regression test showing `/workspace` should represent only the effective tenant/session workspace.
+- Keep tests deterministic; avoid real Docker dependency unless an existing integration harness already provides it.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify tests: `internal/tools/sandbox_utils_test.go`
+- Modify tests: `internal/tools/shell_test.go` or a new focused test file in `internal/tools/`
+- Modify tests: `internal/sandbox/docker_test.go`
+- Read only: `internal/sandbox/docker.go`, `internal/tools/shell.go`, file-tool sandbox callers
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a manager fake that records the `workspace` argument passed to `Get`.
+2. Exercise `ExecTool.executeInSandbox()` with `WithToolWorkspace(ctx, tenantWorkspace)` and assert `Get` receives `tenantWorkspace`, not the global root.
+3. Cover read/list/write/edit sandbox callers or extract a shared helper so one test protects all callers.
+4. Add a config/key test proving two effective workspaces do not reuse the same sandbox container key.
+5. Re-run existing sandbox path tests to keep absolute path clamp and symlink realpath behavior intact.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Complete: new tests failed before implementation because `effectiveSandboxWorkspace`, `sandboxCwdForHostPath`, and `dockerCacheKey` did not exist yet.
+- Complete: tests cover effective workspace selection, fail-closed missing tenant workspace, `/workspace` root mapping, exec/credentialed exec mount/cwd use, file-tool bridge mount use, and Docker cache-key separation.
+- Complete: tests are unit-only and require no production Docker daemon.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Fake manager can under-test Docker args. Mitigate with a small `newDockerSandbox` argument-builder seam if needed.
+- If tests reach private methods only through exported tools, keep package-level tests in `internal/tools` rather than adding production hooks.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Tests must model malicious absolute `/workspace/...` shell paths and sibling tenant directory enumeration.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None for characterization.

+- Context workspace source: `internal/tools/context_keys.go`
+- Sandbox manager: `internal/sandbox/docker.go`
+- Exec sandbox caller: `internal/tools/shell.go`
+- Credentialed sandbox caller: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go`
+- File tool sandbox callers: `internal/tools/filesystem*.go`, `internal/tools/edit.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Mount only the effective workspace subtree into the sandbox container while preserving the inside-container path convention: the effective workspace appears as `/workspace`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: tenant/session workspace is the only workspace mounted for sandboxed exec and file tools.
+- Backward compatible UX: existing relative paths and `/workspace/...` paths inside the effective workspace continue to work.
+- Safety: if no effective workspace exists in context, either fail closed for non-master requests or explicitly fall back only for verified master/global scope.
+- Reuse: sandbox manager key must include enough scope to avoid container reuse across workspaces/config.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add one shared helper in `internal/tools` that resolves the sandbox mount workspace:
+
+1. Prefer `ToolWorkspaceFromCtx(ctx)`.
+2. Fall back to `t.workspace` only when no request workspace is available.
+3. Return both mount workspace and container cwd mapping.
+
+When the mount workspace is already the effective workspace, `SandboxCwd()` should return `/workspace`. If a team/shared workspace is intentionally the effective workspace, mount that path directly.
+
+## Related Code Files
+

+- Modify: `internal/tools/filesystem.go`

+- Modify: `internal/tools/filesystem_list.go`
+- Modify: `internal/tools/edit.go`
+- Modify if needed: `internal/tools/sandbox_utils.go`
+- Modify if needed: `internal/sandbox/docker.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Introduce a small `effectiveSandboxWorkspace(ctx, globalWorkspace)` helper.
+2. Replace sandbox `Get(ctx, sandboxKey, t.workspace, ...)` calls with the effective workspace for exec, credentialed exec, read, write, list, and edit.
+3. Update `SandboxCwd()` usage so the effective workspace maps to `/workspace` after scoped mounting.
+4. Ensure sandbox reuse key differentiates effective workspace; prefer appending a stable hash of effective mount path and workspace access mode.
+5. Keep `ResolveSandboxPath()` and `FsBridge` validations unchanged unless Phase 1 exposes a real gap.
+6. Add concise security log on fallback to global workspace, if fallback remains.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Complete: sandboxed exec and file tools now pass the effective tenant/session workspace to `sandbox.Manager.Get`.
+- Complete: sandboxed normal exec and credentialed exec map host cwd under the effective mount to `/workspace`.
+- Complete: Docker sandbox cache identity now includes workspace, workspace access, workdir, and image.
+- Complete: host-mode workspace restrictions were not changed.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Relative path delivery for sandboxed `write_file` currently joins `ToolWorkspaceFromCtx(ctx)` with user path; verify absolute path inputs do not produce bad host delivery paths.
+- Sandbox containers may be reused longer than expected. Include effective workspace in key or manager lookup identity.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Do not whitelist sibling tenant paths as allowed mounts.
+- Treat shell as untrusted arbitrary code; mount isolation is mandatory even if deny patterns remain.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Whether master-scope maintenance agents should retain a global sandbox mode needs product decision; default implementation should prefer fail closed or explicit opt-in.

+- Post-implementation checklist: `CLAUDE.md`
+- Related issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/68
+
+## Overview
+
+Validate the P0 isolation fix locally, review with security focus, update changelog, then ship through the normal `dev` PR path.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Fresh verification only; no completion claim from stale test output.

+
+## Implementation Steps
+

+   - `go test ./internal/tools -run 'Sandbox|ExecTool|ReadFile|WriteFile|ListFiles|Edit'`
+   - `go test ./internal/sandbox -run 'Docker|FsBridge|Workspace|Path'`
+2. Run compile/static checks:
+   - `go build ./...`
+   - `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   - `go vet ./...`
+3. If implementation changes schema or user-facing docs, update both roadmap/changelog docs per repo rules.
+4. Run security review focused on tenant isolation, sandbox reuse, symlink/absolute-path escapes, and fail-open fallback.
+5. Stage only relevant code, tests, and docs; run:
+   - `git diff --cached --check`
+   - `git diff --cached | grep -iE '(api[_-]?key|token|password|secret|credential)'`
+6. Commit with conventional message and push branch.
+7. Create PR to `digitopvn/goclaw:dev`, link issue #68, and monitor CI.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Complete: focused sandbox tests pass and cover effective mount selection plus cache-key isolation.
+- Complete: `go build ./...`, `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`, `go vet ./...`, and `go test -race -tags integration ./tests/integration/` pass locally.
+- Complete: changelog security note added in `docs/project-changelog.md`.
+- Pending ship actions: PR creation and issue #68 comment/label after push.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- CI may show pre-existing flaky `TestShellAbort_ProcessGroupKilled`; only treat as unrelated after local reproduction and check log proof.
+- Docker-dependent tests can flake on CI. Prefer unit tests around args/workspace selection plus one optional integration test if harness exists.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Verify no mount path falls back to global workspace for tenant-scoped runs.
+- Verify sandbox `WorkspaceAccess=rw` cannot modify sibling tenant data because sibling data is absent from the mount.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None for validation.

+# Issue 68 Sandbox Tenant Workspace Isolation
+
+## Overview
+
+Fix the sandbox isolation gap where Docker containers receive the global workspace root as `/workspace`. Current file tools already clamp sandbox file paths to the effective container cwd, but shell/exec still runs inside a container that can enumerate the full mounted tree.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Issue: digitopvn/goclaw#68, upstream nextlevelbuilder/goclaw#1163
+- Mount source: `internal/sandbox/docker.go:91-100`
+- Shell sandbox caller passes global workspace: `internal/tools/shell.go:645-667`
+- File-tool sandbox callers also request sandbox by global workspace: `internal/tools/filesystem.go:198-222`, `internal/tools/filesystem_write.go:242-291`, `internal/tools/filesystem_list.go:142-166`, `internal/tools/edit.go:209-221`
+- Existing mitigations: `internal/tools/sandbox_utils.go:37-55`, `internal/sandbox/fsbridge.go:143-236`, `internal/tools/sandbox_utils_test.go:92-145`, `internal/sandbox/docker_test.go:130-174`
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Characterize Risk and Write Tests](./phase-01-characterize-risk-and-write-tests.md) | Complete |
+| 2 | [Implement Tenant-Scoped Sandbox Mounts](./phase-02-implement-tenant-scoped-sandbox-mounts.md) | Complete |
+| 3 | [Validate Security and Ship](./phase-03-validate-security-and-ship.md) | Complete |
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+- Do not rely on cwd-only isolation for shell. The mount namespace must not include sibling tenant workspaces.
+- Keep existing `ResolveSandboxPath` and `FsBridge` realpath validation as defense in depth.
+- Preserve current `/workspace` UX inside the sandbox by mounting the effective workspace subtree at `/workspace`, not by exposing `/workspace/<relative-subtree>`.
+- Reuse `ToolWorkspaceFromCtx(ctx)` / `store.RunContext.Workspace` as the effective tenant/session workspace source.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- A sandboxed exec for tenant A cannot list or read tenant B workspace paths.
+- Sandboxed file tools still read/write/list/edit inside tenant A workspace.
+- Sandbox reuse key cannot reuse a container created for a different effective workspace/config.
+- Focused tests pass, plus `go build ./...`, `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`, and `go vet ./...`.
+
+## Docs Impact
+
+Minor. Add changelog/security note after implementation lands.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Should team shared workspace be a separate allowed mount, or should team runs set `ToolWorkspaceFromCtx` to the team/session workspace before sandbox creation?

+# Scout Debug Summary
+
+## Issue
+
+`digitopvn/goclaw#68` reports P0 cross-tenant workspace exposure through Docker sandbox global workspace mounts. Upstream `nextlevelbuilder/goclaw#1163` is still open and describes the same mount-layer gap.
+
+## Verified Code Evidence
+
+- `internal/sandbox/docker.go:91-100` mounts the `workspace` argument into `cfg.ContainerWorkdir()` as `/workspace` by default.
+- `internal/tools/shell.go:645-667` calls `sandboxMgr.Get(ctx, sandboxKey, t.workspace, ...)` and then executes `sh -c` in the mapped container cwd.
+- `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go:621-635` also calls sandbox manager with `t.workspace`.
+- `internal/tools/filesystem.go:198-222`, `internal/tools/filesystem_write.go:242-291`, `internal/tools/filesystem_list.go:142-166`, and `internal/tools/edit.go:209-221` use the same global `t.workspace` for sandbox manager lookup.
+- `internal/tools/context_keys.go:120-131` already provides effective request workspace via `ToolWorkspaceFromCtx(ctx)` / `store.RunContext.Workspace`.
+- `internal/tools/sandbox_utils.go:37-55` clamps sandbox file-tool paths to `containerCwd`.
+- `internal/sandbox/fsbridge.go:143-236` adds realpath validation inside the container.
+- `internal/tools/sandbox_utils_test.go:92-145` and `internal/sandbox/docker_test.go:130-174` already test path-boundary behavior.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Current mount isolation relies on setting the container cwd below `/workspace`, but the bind mount still contains the global workspace tree. File tools have defense-in-depth path clamps; shell/exec remains arbitrary code and can directly inspect `/workspace` unless the mount itself is scoped.
+
+## Recommended Fix
+
+Mount the effective tenant/session/team workspace, not the global workspace root, for every sandboxed tool path. Preserve `/workspace` as the container-visible root for that effective workspace.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Master-scope global sandbox mode needs explicit product decision. Default P0 fix should not expose global workspace to tenant-scoped runs.

+### RapidAPI cron SecureCLI diagnostics (issue #74)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Added a built-in `rapidapi` SecureCLI preset with required `RAPIDAPI_KEY`, 60s timeout, and verbose/debug flag denials.
+- Credentialed exec now validates required preset env keys before binary resolution, so missing RapidAPI credentials return a GoClaw diagnostic instead of downstream `RAPIDAPI_KEY required`.
+- Added safe SecureCLI env diagnostics that log env key names/count context only, never credential values.
+- Added `RAPIDAPI_KEY` to fall-through exec env scrubbing.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added RapidAPI preset contract and deny-pattern coverage.
+- Added credentialed exec regressions for missing RapidAPI env and successful direct exec with injected `RAPIDAPI_KEY`.

+# Phase 1: Diagnose Current RapidAPI Credential Path
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#74`
+- Related closed issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#54`
+- Cron payload model: `internal/store/cron_store.go`
+- Cron run injection: `cmd/gateway_cron.go`
+- SecureCLI lookup: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Prove the concrete failure mode before code. Current code already preserves cron credential user identity; #74 may be RapidAPI config, grant, env key, or legacy job payload.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- `CronPayload.CredentialUserID` exists and is redacted from API responses.
+- `PGCronStore.AddJob` and `SQLiteCronStore.AddJob` store explicit credential user identity.
+- `makeCronJobHandler` injects that identity into cron run context.
+- `lookupCredentialedBinary` resolves per-user env through `CredentialUserIDFromContext`.
+- No built-in RapidAPI preset exists today.
+- 2026-05-29 verification:
+  - #54 context path is present: cron handler injects `payload.credentialUserId` before scheduling.
+  - Redaction path is present: response copies clear `payload.credentialUserId`.
+  - `rapidapi` is absent from `CLIPresets`, so operators get no guided `RAPIDAPI_KEY` setup.
+  - Credentialed exec merges base/user env but does not validate required preset env keys before process execution.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: identify whether `rapidapi` is configured, granted, and populated with `RAPIDAPI_KEY`.
+- Functional: identify if failing cron payload is legacy and lacks `credentialUserId`.
+- Non-functional: no secret values in terminal, docs, issue comment, tests, or logs.
+- Non-functional: read-only live checks unless operator explicitly approves mutation.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Cron creation captures credential identity in payload. Cron execution injects that identity into context. Exec tool uses context to join SecureCLI per-user env. Diagnosis must trace all three links.
+
+```text
+cron.create ctx -> payload.credentialUserId -> makeCronJobHandler ctx -> exec LookupByBinary(userID) -> RAPIDAPI_KEY env
+```

+- Read: `internal/store/pg/secure_cli.go`
+- Read: `internal/store/sqlitestore/secure-cli.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write failing characterization notes before code:
+   - `rapidapi` absent from SecureCLI registry.
+   - `rapidapi` present but grant missing/disabled.
+   - grant present but `RAPIDAPI_KEY` missing from merged env.
+   - cron payload lacks `credentialUserId`.
+2. Inspect local DB or live DB only with read-only commands if credentials available:
+   - SecureCLI binary rows for `rapidapi`.
+   - grants for the cron agent.
+   - sanitized env keys only; never reveal value.
+   - cron payload JSON for target job.
+3. Add or prepare unit-level characterization tests before changing product code:
+   - cron handler passes `credentialUserId` through.
+   - SecureCLI env merge exposes `RAPIDAPI_KEY` when configured.
+   - missing user env produces actionable branch in diagnostics plan.
+4. Decide root cause:
+   - config-only: document operator fix and still consider preset/logging.
+   - code gap: proceed Phase 2.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Confirm current branch contains #54 fix.
+- [x] Confirm `rapidapi` preset absence.
+- [x] Inspect sanitized SecureCLI config path.
+- [ ] Inspect failing cron payload shape if available.
+- [x] Record exact failure class.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Root cause class documented with code/file evidence.
+- [x] No secret material displayed or persisted.
+- [x] Tests-before list finalized for Phase 2.
+
+## Diagnosis Result
+
+Root cause class: product support gap plus weak diagnostics, not missing cron identity plumbing.
+
+Code evidence:
+
+- `cmd/gateway_cron.go` injects `store.WithCredentialUserID` when `job.Payload.CredentialUserID` is present.
+- `internal/store/cron_store.go` redacts `CredentialUserID` from response-safe cron jobs.
+- `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go` uses `store.CredentialUserIDFromContext(ctx)` for `LookupByBinary`.
+- `internal/tools/credential_presets.go` has no `rapidapi` preset.
+- `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go` returns downstream CLI output when env is empty, so a RapidAPI failure surfaces as raw `RAPIDAPI_KEY required` instead of a GoClaw credential diagnostic.
+
+Live DB inspection was not run in this phase because no operator-approved credentialed environment or target cron job was provided. Phase 2 proceeds with code-level regression coverage for the confirmed local gap.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: live DB access reveals secrets. Mitigation: query key names/sanitized responses only.
+- Risk: legacy cron payload mistaken for current bug. Mitigation: compare job creation time against fix version.
+- Risk: RapidAPI CLI command shape unknown. Mitigation: treat smoke command as operator-provided until verified.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Never use `printenv`, `env`, or CLI debug flags to prove secret presence.
+- Validate by CLI success/failure and sanitized env key metadata.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- If root cause is missing preset or diagnostics, Phase 2.
+- If root cause is stale cron payload only, Phase 3 documents remediation and issue reply.

+# Phase 2: Add RapidAPI Preset and Credential Diagnostics
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Preset registry: `internal/tools/credential_presets.go`
+- SecureCLI execution: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go`
+- Env parsing/flattening: `internal/store/secure_cli_env.go`
+- UI consumes presets through existing SecureCLI preset endpoints.
+
+## Overview
+
+Add the smallest product support needed for RapidAPI cron use: a SecureCLI preset and precise diagnostics. Do not add RapidAPI-specific runtime branches.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- SecureCLI presets are static templates only; adding `rapidapi` is low blast radius.
+- Credentialed exec logs currently show lookup found/no found, but not enough operator-safe reason detail.
+- Host fall-through exec scrubs credential env keys; that is correct and should not be bypassed.
+- 2026-05-29 implementation:
+  - Added built-in `rapidapi` preset with required `RAPIDAPI_KEY`.
+  - Added required preset env validation before binary resolution/execution.
+  - Added safe env-key-only diagnostics for merged env and missing required keys.
+  - Added `RAPIDAPI_KEY` to fall-through exec env scrub list.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: `rapidapi` appears in preset list with required `RAPIDAPI_KEY`.
+- Functional: credentialed exec logs safe metadata for lookup and injection attempt.
+- Functional: missing/empty merged env yields actionable error, not only downstream `RAPIDAPI_KEY required`.
+- Non-functional: no secret values in logs; key names allowed.
+- Non-functional: no cron API contract change.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use existing SecureCLI:
+
+```text
+Preset -> admin creates binary -> optional agent grant -> optional user env -> exec direct argv mode
+```
+
+Diagnostics live at two layers:
+
+- Lookup layer: found config? agent grant? credential user id present?
+- Injection layer: merged env key names count, required key missing, binary path resolution.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/tools/credential_presets.go`
+- Modify: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go`
+- Modify: tests near `internal/tools/credential*_test.go`
+- Modify if needed: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Avoid unless required: DB migrations, cron schema, HTTP API contracts.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Tests Before
+
+1. Add preset test:
+   - `GetPreset("rapidapi")` exists.
+   - env vars include required `RAPIDAPI_KEY`.
+   - deny patterns avoid interactive/export/debug secret leakage if RapidAPI CLI has such commands.
+2. Add credentialed env validation test:
+   - `rapidapi` config with no env returns an actionable missing-env error before executing binary.
+   - `rapidapi` config with `RAPIDAPI_KEY` proceeds to binary resolution/execution path.
+3. Add logging behavior test only where stable without asserting log formatting too tightly.
+
+### Refactor / Implementation
+
+4. Add `rapidapi` preset:
+   - `BinaryName: "rapidapi"`
+   - `EnvVars: RAPIDAPI_KEY`
+   - conservative timeout, e.g. 60s.
+   - tips: use read-only/list/query commands; avoid debug output.
+5. Add optional required-env guard for preset-required keys if current SecureCLI model supports it without schema change.
+   - If schema change would be needed, skip guard and rely on diagnostics/logging; YAGNI.
+6. Improve operator-safe diagnostics:
+   - log binary, agent id, tenant id, credential user id presence, env key names only.
+   - distinguish no credential row vs found row with empty env.
+   - never log env values.
+7. Ensure non-credentialed fallback remains scrubbed and blocked for registered non-global binaries.
+
+### Tests After
+
+8. Run focused tests:
+   - `go test ./internal/tools`
+   - `go test ./internal/store`
+9. Run compile gate:
+   - `go build ./...`
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Preset regression test first.
+- [x] Missing-env diagnostic test first.
+- [x] Add minimal preset.
+- [x] Add safe diagnostics.
+- [x] Update changelog if code changes.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] `rapidapi` preset available through existing preset API.
+- [x] Missing `RAPIDAPI_KEY` is distinguishable from policy block and binary-not-found.
+- [x] Logs expose only safe metadata.
+- [x] Existing SecureCLI security tests still pass.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `go test ./internal/tools -run 'RapidAPI|MissingRequiredEnv|MergeCredentialedEnv'`
+- `go test ./internal/tools`
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: required-env guard changes all SecureCLI behavior. Mitigation: only add if scoped and test-protected; otherwise skip.
+- Risk: logs leak identity detail. Mitigation: no values, no command args beyond existing truncation, key names only.
+- Risk: RapidAPI CLI binary name differs. Mitigation: verify command package before final implementation; if command is not `rapidapi`, update preset name to real binary.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Keep direct argv execution for credentialed mode.
+- Do not support shell wrappers for RapidAPI credentials.
+- Deny verbose/debug options if RapidAPI CLI can print HTTP headers.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 3 validates cron path end-to-end and prepares GitHub issue reply.

+# Phase 3: Validate Cron Smoke and Issue Handoff
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Cron methods: `internal/gateway/methods/cron.go`
+- Cron handler: `cmd/gateway_cron.go`
+- Cron docs: `docs/08-scheduling-cron.md`
+- SecureCLI docs: `docs/03-tools-system.md`
+
+## Overview
+
+Validate cron-triggered RapidAPI usage through tests and one operator-approved smoke path. Then update docs/changelog and reply to issue #74 with exact result and plan path.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Existing tests already cover cron credential context injection.
+- #74 acceptance asks for smoke test and clear logs.
+- Live smoke may need real RapidAPI key; no fake credential should be used to claim success.
+- 2026-05-29 validation:
+  - Cron credential context injection and redaction tests are already present and covered by targeted test runs.
+  - RapidAPI direct exec is covered with a local script fixture and injected `RAPIDAPI_KEY`.
+  - Real RapidAPI cron smoke was not run because no operator-approved key, target agent grant, or harmless endpoint was provided in this session.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: cron-created-after-fix can access configured RapidAPI credential through SecureCLI.
+- Functional: missing credentials return actionable error.
+- Functional: GitHub issue gets concise summary and plan path.
+- Non-functional: no secret printing or durable secret artifacts.
+- Non-functional: skip load/stress tests per repo rule.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Validation combines:
+
+- unit tests for context and env wiring,
+- optional integration/manual smoke for real RapidAPI CLI,
+- issue handoff comment with branch/plan path.
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Modify if implementation occurred: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Modify if docs need command examples: `docs/03-tools-system.md`
+- Test: `cmd/gateway_cron_test.go`
+- Test: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec*_test.go`

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Tests Before
+
+1. Add/confirm regression proving cron context carries `credentialUserId` into scheduler run.
+2. Add test proving redacted cron API response never exposes `credentialUserId`.
+3. Add test proving RapidAPI env key can be merged for credentialed exec without exposing value.
+
+### Validation
+
+4. Run targeted tests:
+   - `go test ./cmd ./internal/tools ./internal/store`
+5. Run build gates if code changed:
+   - `go build ./...`
+   - `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+6. If real RapidAPI credentials available and user approves:
+   - create/update SecureCLI `rapidapi` config with sanitized workflow.
+   - grant target agent.
+   - create fresh cron job after #54 fix.
+   - run harmless RapidAPI read command.
+   - verify run log success and no secret output.
+7. If live credentials unavailable:
+   - document skipped live smoke explicitly.
+   - keep issue open or mark plan blocked by credential availability.
+
+### Handoff
+
+8. Update changelog/docs only if implementation changes behavior.
+9. Reply GitHub issue #74:
+   - plan path,
+   - root-cause hypothesis,
+   - chosen approach,
+   - validation gates,
+   - open operator questions.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Regression tests pass.
+- [x] Build gates pass if code changed.
+- [x] Smoke result recorded or skipped with reason.
+- [ ] Issue #74 replied with plan summary and filepath after PR is opened.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tests prove cron and SecureCLI credential path for RapidAPI.
+- [x] Manual smoke either passes or is clearly blocked by missing real credentials.
+- [x] No secrets in logs, tests, docs, or issue comment.
+- [ ] GitHub issue comment links this plan and summarizes next implementation path after PR is opened.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `go test ./cmd ./internal/tools ./internal/store`
+- `go build ./...`
+- `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+- `go vet ./...`
+- `TEST_DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:test@localhost:5433/goclaw_test?sslmode=disable" go test -race -tags integration ./tests/integration/`
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: smoke uses fake data and gives false confidence. Mitigation: fake keys only test error wording; real smoke must use real read-only endpoint.
+- Risk: issue comment overstates completion. Mitigation: label plan as pending until implementation/smoke complete.
+- Risk: docs drift from actual CLI syntax. Mitigation: verify RapidAPI CLI command syntax before adding command examples.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Do not paste RapidAPI key in commands.
+- Do not use command forms that echo env.
+- Keep issue comment plan-only, no live config values.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- After plan approval, run `/ck:cook /Volumes/GOON/www/digitop/goclaw/plans/260528-1801-rapidapi-cron-securecli-credentials/plan.md --tdd`.

+# RapidAPI cron SecureCLI credential fix
+
+## Overview
+
+Issue #74 reports `rapidapi` CLI failing from cron with `RAPIDAPI_KEY required`.
+Broader cron credential context is already fixed by storing `payload.credentialUserId` on create and injecting it into cron runs. This plan keeps that architecture and focuses on RapidAPI-specific SecureCLI setup, diagnostics, and regression smoke.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Diagnose Current RapidAPI Credential Path](./phase-01-diagnose-current-rapidapi-credential-path.md) | Complete |
+| 2 | [Add RapidAPI Preset and Credential Diagnostics](./phase-02-add-rapidapi-preset-and-credential-diagnostics.md) | Complete |
+| 3 | [Validate Cron Smoke and Issue Handoff](./phase-03-validate-cron-smoke-and-issue-handoff.md) | Complete |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#74`
+- Related closed issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#54`
+- Cron context path: `cmd/gateway_cron.go`, `internal/store/cron_store.go`, `internal/gateway/methods/cron.go`
+- SecureCLI path: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go`, `internal/tools/credential_presets.go`, `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go`
+- Docs to update if behavior changes: `docs/project-changelog.md`, `docs/03-tools-system.md`
+
+## Recommended Scope
+
+- First prove whether live config is missing `rapidapi`, missing agent grant, missing user env, or legacy cron payload.
+- Add built-in RapidAPI preset only if config gap confirmed or reproducible from local tests.
+- Add logs/tests that distinguish: no SecureCLI config, no grant, no `RAPIDAPI_KEY`, invalid env JSON, binary not found.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- New credential store.
+- New cron auth model.
+- Exposing credential values in API/logs.
+- Load/stress tests.
+- Direct live write smoke unless operator provides explicit credentialed environment.
+
+## Validation Gates
+
+- `go test ./internal/tools ./internal/store ./cmd`
+- Targeted cron/SecureCLI regression tests before implementation changes.
+- Manual or documented smoke: cron-created-after-fix invokes harmless `rapidapi` command and does not print secret.
+
+## Completion Notes
+
+- 2026-05-29: all code/test/build gates passed, including PG and SQLite builds, `go vet`, and integration race suite with local PG test DB.
+- Real RapidAPI cron smoke remains operator-gated because this session did not include an approved RapidAPI key, target SecureCLI grant, or harmless endpoint.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Is `rapidapi` registered in the live SecureCLI table now?
+- Was the failing cron created before `v3.12.0-beta.25` / commit `f9440bac`?
+- Which harmless RapidAPI endpoint should be the operator-approved smoke target?

+### Telegram voice transcription and read_audio fallback (issue #85)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Telegram voice/audio STT now preserves Telegram's detected MIME type, including `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`, instead of forcing every STT request to `audio/ogg`.
+- Telegram STT now resolves channel-scoped legacy proxy overrides by platform type `telegram`, so DB channel instances with custom names still select the Telegram override.
+- `read_audio` no longer sends unsupported audio routes as `providers.ImageContent`; unsupported provider/model combinations now fail closed with an audio-specific error that names supported routes.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added Telegram STT regression coverage for channel-type override selection and MIME preservation.
+- Added `read_audio` regression coverage proving unsupported providers are not called through chat/image fallback.

+# Phase 01 - Characterize Telegram Voice Failure
+
+## Overview
+- Priority: P0
+- Status: Complete
+- Purpose: Lock current failing behavior before code changes.
+
+## Context Links
+- Issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/85
+- Debug report: `reports/debugger-260528-1837-telegram-voice-transcription.md`
+
+## Requirements
+- Build a small unit-level characterization for Telegram voice `MediaInfo`.
+- Prove `msg.Voice.MimeType` is available and should not be discarded.
+- Prove channel context is required for legacy Telegram STT proxy selection.
+- Prove `read_audio` must not route audio bytes through image payload fallback.
+
+## Characterization Notes
+- `resolveMedia` already classifies Telegram `msg.Voice` as `MediaInfo{Type: "voice"}` and copies `msg.Voice.MimeType` into `ContentType`; the loss happens later when `processResolvedMessage` hardcodes STT MIME as `audio/ogg`.
+- `audio.Manager` already supports channel-scoped STT overrides through `audio.WithChannel(ctx, "telegram")`; Telegram does not set that context before calling `Transcribe`.
+- `read_audio` still has a generic chat fallback that attaches audio bytes as `providers.ImageContent`, which matches the provider-side "image format illegal" failure.
+
+## Related Code Files
+- Modify: `internal/channels/telegram/media_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/telegram/handlers_test.go` or add focused helper tests near Telegram package.
+- Modify: `internal/audio/manager_stt_test.go` only if existing coverage lacks the channel override case.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+1. Add a Telegram voice media test using a `telego.Message{Voice: ...}` fixture.
+2. Assert media type is `voice`, MIME is preserved, file path is populated by a stub download path.
+3. Add/extend audio manager test proving `audio.WithChannel(ctx, "telegram")` selects the channel-scoped STT provider.
+4. Avoid live Telegram or provider calls.
+
+## Success Criteria
+- Deterministic regression tests can be added without live Telegram or provider calls.
+- Phase 02 owns Telegram STT context/MIME test and fix.
+- Phase 03 owns `read_audio` unsupported-provider regression and fix.
+
+## Risks
+- `processResolvedMessage` is large; prefer extracting a narrow helper only if needed for testability.
+
+## Open Questions
+- None.

+# Phase 02 - Fix Telegram STT Routing
+
+## Overview
+- Priority: P0
+- Status: Complete
+- Purpose: Make Telegram voice STT use the right MIME and provider chain.
+
+## Requirements
+- Use `m.ContentType` for audio/voice STT, with safe fallback to `audio/ogg`.
+- Wrap STT context with `audio.WithChannel(ctx, c.Type())`.
+- Preserve current 10s timeout and fallback behavior.
+- Do not change WhatsApp opt-in semantics.
+
+## Related Code Files
+- Modify: `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go`
+- Optional: create helper in `internal/channels/telegram/stt.go` if `handlers.go` growth needs containment.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+1. Introduce a small helper for audio MIME fallback: empty or `application/octet-stream` -> `audio/ogg`.
+2. Replace hardcoded `MimeType: "audio/ogg"` with the helper result.
+3. Call `audio.WithChannel(sttCtx, c.Type())` before `audioMgr.Transcribe`.
+4. Preserve `m.Transcript = res.Text` only on non-empty success.
+5. Log provider failure as Telegram audio STT failure with type, MIME, and provider error.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+- Used `c.Type()` instead of `c.Name()` so DB channel instances like `telegram-main` still resolve the legacy override registered for platform type `telegram`.
+- Added a focused regression where tenant STT is configured but Telegram channel-scoped STT wins and receives `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`.
+- Empty transcripts remain non-fatal; no transcript tag is added.
+
+## Success Criteria
+- Telegram legacy `stt_proxy_url` can be selected via channel override.
+- Telegram OGG/Opus MIME survives into STT input.
+- Existing Telegram media flow still publishes `bus.InboundMessage.Media`.
+
+## Security Considerations
+- No new secret storage.
+- Do not log raw audio path if it can expose tenant filesystem details beyond existing debug behavior; prefer basename when possible.
+
+## Open Questions
+- None.

+# Phase 03 - Harden Read Audio Fallback
+
+## Overview
+- Priority: P0
+- Status: Complete
+- Purpose: Stop audio being sent as image payload.
+
+## Requirements
+- `read_audio` must never put audio bytes in `providers.ImageContent`.
+- Unsupported provider/model routes must return an audio-specific error.
+- Preserve working routes:
+  - Gemini File API.
+  - Native OpenAI input audio.
+  - OpenAI transcription endpoint for transcription model names.
+
+## Related Code Files
+- Modify: `internal/tools/read_audio_resolve.go`
+- Modify: `internal/tools/read_audio_resolve_test.go`
+- Optional: `internal/tools/read_audio.go` description to mention `<media:voice>`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+1. Replace "Other providers" image fallback with explicit unsupported audio route error.
+2. Include provider name, provider type, model, and accepted options in the error, without secrets.
+3. Add regression test using an OpenAI-compatible non-transcription provider/model that previously went through `Images`.
+4. Add test ensuring `<media:voice>` id still resolves through `read_audio`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+- Removed generic chat/image fallback from `read_audio`.
+- Added regression proving unsupported audio routes do not call provider chat and do not create `providers.ImageContent`.
+- Preserved Gemini File API, native OpenAI input audio, and OpenAI-compatible transcription model routes.
+
+## Success Criteria
+- The observed "image format illegal" class cannot be produced by GoClaw for audio fallback.
+- User-facing error says audio provider/model unsupported or STT provider unavailable.
+- Existing Gemini/OpenAI/transcription tests still pass.
+
+## Risks
+- Some provider may have relied on chat fallback for audio. Treat as unsafe legacy path because it is semantically wrong and produced this issue.
+
+## Open Questions
+- DashScope/Qwen audio chat can be added later as a first-class verified route.

+# Phase 04 - Tests and Docs
+
+## Overview
+- Priority: P1
+- Status: Complete
+- Purpose: Verify fix and sync public docs.
+
+## Requirements
+- Add regression tests for Telegram voice, STT channel override, and read_audio no-image fallback.
+- Update docs to reflect actual STT provider IDs and failure behavior.
+- Do not add load/stress tests.
+
+## Related Code Files
+- Modify: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- Modify: `docs/03-tools-system.md` if read_audio contract changes.
+- Modify: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Run: package-level Go tests for touched packages.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+1. Run `go test ./internal/channels/telegram ./internal/audio ./internal/tools`.
+2. If shared code changes, run `go test ./internal/agent ./internal/channels/... ./internal/tools`.
+3. Update docs after tests pass.
+4. Record issue #85 in changelog with root cause and validation commands.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+- Updated channel docs to use actual provider IDs: `elevenlabs` and `proxy`.
+- Documented Telegram voice MIME preservation and platform-type STT override behavior.
+- Documented `read_audio` fail-closed behavior for unsupported audio routes.
+- Added a Telegram Bot API fixture test that downloads a voice OGG file and verifies `audio/ogg; codecs=opus` survives from `telego.Voice` through media resolution into STT MIME selection.
+
+## Success Criteria
+- Tests pass locally.
+- Docs no longer claim provider IDs that do not exist in code.
+- Issue acceptance criteria are traceable to test names.
+
+## Open Questions
+- None.

+# Telegram Voice Transcription Fix Plan
+
+## Context
+- Issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/85
+- Worktree: `/Users/duynguyen/.codex/worktrees/codex/issue-85-telegram-voice-transcription-plan`
+- Branch: `codex/issue-85-telegram-voice-transcription-plan`
+- Base: `origin/dev` at `5017f7ca` after merging latest dev into the issue branch
+- Debug report: `reports/debugger-260528-1837-telegram-voice-transcription.md`
+
+## Goal
+Fix Telegram app-recorded voice messages so `<media:voice>` is treated as audio end-to-end, transcribed through the STT path, and never routed through image payloads.
+
+## Verified Findings
+- Telegram downloads `msg.Voice` as media type `voice` and carries `msg.Voice.MimeType`, but STT call currently forces MIME to `audio/ogg` instead of using the detected content type: `internal/channels/telegram/media.go:160`, `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:474`.
+- Telegram calls `audioMgr.Transcribe` without `audio.WithChannel(ctx, c.Name())`, so channel-scoped legacy STT proxy overrides cannot be selected: `internal/audio/manager.go:17`, `internal/audio/manager_stt.go:69`, `internal/audio/legacy_stt_bridge.go:81`.
+- When Telegram STT fails or is not configured, the message still reaches the agent with `<media:voice>` and media attachment. `read_audio` can then be invoked: `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:488`, `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:709`, `internal/agent/loop_input_media.go:120`.
+- `read_audio` fallback for non-Gemini/non-OpenAI/non-transcription providers sends audio bytes as `providers.ImageContent`, matching the observed "image format illegal" provider error: `internal/tools/read_audio_resolve.go:160`.
+- Docs say unified STT should cover Telegram and use the configured provider chain, but current names and behavior drift from implementation: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md:262`.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] [Phase 01 - Characterize Failure](phase-01-characterize-telegram-voice-failure.md)
+- [x] [Phase 02 - Fix Telegram STT Routing](phase-02-fix-telegram-stt-routing.md)
+- [x] [Phase 03 - Harden Read Audio Fallback](phase-03-harden-read-audio-fallback.md)
+- [x] [Phase 04 - Tests and Docs](phase-04-tests-and-docs.md)
+
+## Dependencies
+- No schema migration expected.
+- If adding audio transcoding, decide between built-in ffmpeg dependency vs provider-compatible no-conversion path first.
+- Keep WhatsApp opt-in behavior unchanged.
+
+## Success Criteria
+- Telegram `Voice` messages preserve `audio/ogg` / `audio/ogg; codecs=opus` metadata into STT and media refs.
+- Channel-scoped STT proxy works for Telegram via `audio.WithChannel`.
+- `read_audio` never sends audio as image payload for unsupported provider routes; errors are audio-specific and actionable.
+- Regression tests cover Telegram voice media, STT channel context, and `read_audio` unsupported fallback.
+
+## Open Questions
+- None.

+# Telegram Voice Transcription - Investigation Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+- **Issue:** Telegram app-recorded voice messages fail transcription; provider returns image-format error.
+- **Impact:** Telegram voice workflow blocked when auto-STT misses and agent/tool fallback is used.
+- **Root cause:** Audio/voice can fall through to `read_audio`; unsupported provider fallback encodes audio as image content.
+- **Status:** Root cause isolated; implementation plan ready.
+- **Fix:** Preserve voice MIME + channel context in Telegram STT, then block or convert unsafe `read_audio` fallback.
+
+## Evidence
+- Telegram voice is detected as voice:
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/media.go:160` handles `msg.Voice`.
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/media.go:167` appends `MediaInfo{Type: "voice"}`.
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/media.go:171` stores `msg.Voice.MimeType`.
+- Telegram STT loses metadata:
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:474` enters audio/voice branch.
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:480` calls `audioMgr.Transcribe(... MimeType: "audio/ogg")`.
+  - This ignores `m.ContentType` and does not set `audio.WithChannel(ctx, c.Name())`.
+- Channel-scoped STT exists but is skipped by Telegram call:
+  - `internal/audio/manager.go:17` defines `WithChannel`.
+  - `internal/audio/manager_stt.go:69` checks channel override before default chain.
+  - `internal/audio/legacy_stt_bridge.go:81` registers channel-scoped proxy providers for Telegram/Feishu/Discord.
+- Fallback reaches agent/tool path:
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:488` only logs STT failure.
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:516` emits media tags, transcript optional.
+  - `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go:709` publishes media files to the agent.
+  - `internal/agent/loop_input_media.go:120` collects audio refs for `read_audio`.
+- Observed image-format error maps to tool fallback:
+  - `internal/tools/read_audio_resolve.go:72` documents provider dispatch.
+  - `internal/tools/read_audio_resolve.go:160` sends "Other providers" through chat API with `Images`.
+  - `internal/tools/read_audio_resolve.go:172` puts audio bytes in `providers.ImageContent`.
+
+## Root Cause
+Primary root cause: `read_audio` has a best-effort chat fallback that represents audio as image data. For OpenAI-compatible providers without a transcription model name or dedicated audio route, this generates an image payload and surfaces provider errors like "image format illegal".
+
+Contributing causes:
+- Telegram STT hardcodes `audio/ogg`, losing actual MIME detail such as `audio/ogg; codecs=opus`.
+- Telegram STT does not attach channel context, so legacy channel-specific proxy STT cannot win.
+- Telegram keeps processing after STT failure with only a warn log, so the LLM can call `read_audio` and hit the unsafe fallback.
+- Docs describe a unified STT chain, but UI/code naming currently uses `elevenlabs` / `proxy`, while docs show `elevenlabs_scribe` / `proxy_stt`.
+
+## Recommended Plan
+### Immediate (P0)
+- Add focused tests proving Telegram voice path uses actual voice MIME and `audio.WithChannel`.
+- Change Telegram STT call to pass `MimeType: fallbackAudioMime(m.ContentType)` and a channel-scoped context.
+- Keep failure behavior user-friendly: log audio-specific cause and keep `<media:voice>` tag, but do not imply image analysis.
+
+### Short-Term (P1)
+- Change `read_audio` fallback: if provider route is not Gemini, native OpenAI audio, or transcription endpoint, return clear audio-specific unsupported-provider error instead of `Images`.
+- Consider explicit provider capability check for audio input/transcription before dispatch.
+- Add regression around DashScope/openai-compatible non-transcription model to ensure no image payload is produced.
+
+### Longer-Term (P2)
+- Decide conversion layer: ffmpeg OGG/Opus to WAV/MP3 before STT when selected provider cannot accept OGG/Opus.
+- Sync docs and UI labels with actual provider ids.
+
+## Open Questions
+- Should `builtin_tools[stt]` provider order drive Telegram STT now, or only after a separate STT settings migration?
+- Should conversion be implemented now, or only after provider rejection proves it is needed?

+
+# Phase 1: Characterize Current Parallel Semantics
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Plan: [plan.md](./plan.md)
+- Existing executor: `internal/pipeline/tool_stage.go`
+- Existing tests: `internal/pipeline/stages_test.go`
+- Loop callbacks: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_tool_callbacks.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add tests first around the current behavior and the desired safety boundaries. This phase should fail on the missing hardening cases before implementation starts.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: capture current two-phase parallel behavior, stable ordered processing, and sequential fallback.
+- Functional: prove current gaps around hook parity, mutating eligibility, and tool budget.
+- Non-functional: tests deterministic, no sleep-based timing flake where avoidable.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use `ToolStage` tests with fake callbacks. Keep tests at pipeline layer first because this is where scheduling, hook firing, budget, and result ordering live. Use small channels/atomic counters only where concurrency must be proven.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/pipeline/stages_test.go`
+- Read: `internal/pipeline/tool_stage.go`
+- Read: `internal/pipeline/deps.go`
+- Read: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_adapter.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a test proving parallel processing keeps original result order even when raw execution completes out of order.
+2. Add a test proving `PreToolUse` must run before parallel raw execution and can rewrite args.
+3. Add a test proving blocked `PreToolUse` calls append synthetic blocked tool messages and do not call raw execution.
+4. Add a test proving a batch containing a mutating tool uses sequential execution.
+5. Add a test proving a batch containing `exec`, `bash`, `wait`, MCP/unknown, or async tools uses sequential execution.
+6. Add a test proving `MaxToolCalls` prevents scheduling extra calls in a parallel batch.
+7. Add a test proving fixed concurrency cap bounds peak raw executions.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] New tests fail against current implementation for the real gaps.
+- [x] Existing parallel path regression remains covered.
+- [x] No implementation changes in this phase except test helpers.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: concurrency tests can become flaky. Mitigation: use controlled channels and atomic peak counters, not wall-clock timing.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Hook blocking and mutating-tool fallback are security boundaries. Tests must assert denial happens before tool execution.
+
+## Next Steps

+# Phase 2: Harden Eligibility Hooks and Budgets
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Phase 1 tests: [phase-01-characterize-current-parallel-semantics.md](./phase-01-characterize-current-parallel-semantics.md)
+- Tool metadata: `internal/tools/capability.go`
+- Registry metadata lookup: `internal/tools/registry.go`
+- Pipeline deps: `internal/pipeline/deps.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement conservative eligibility and pre-scheduling safety gates. Keep the existing raw/process split, but only enter it for fully safe batches.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: parallel path only for calls marked read-only by metadata.
+- Functional: `exec`, `bash`, `wait`, mutating, async, MCP-bridged, and unknown tools remain sequential.
+- Functional: `PreToolUse` runs before parallel I/O and can block or rewrite args.
+- Functional: `MaxToolCalls` is enforced before scheduling a parallel batch.
+- Non-functional: single-tool and sequential behavior unchanged.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add a small callback in `PipelineDeps`, likely `ParallelEligibleToolCall func(tc providers.ToolCall) bool`. Wire it from `agent.Loop` using `l.tools.GetMetadata(l.resolveToolCallName(tc.Name))`.
+
+Suggested rule:
+
+```go
+func eligible(tc providers.ToolCall) bool {
+    name := resolve(tc.Name)
+    if name == "exec" || name == "bash" || name == "wait" || strings.HasPrefix(name, "mcp_") {
+        return false
+    }
+    meta := registry.GetMetadata(name)
+    return meta.IsReadOnly() &&
+        !meta.HasCapability(tools.CapMutating) &&
+        !meta.HasCapability(tools.CapAsync) &&
+        !meta.HasCapability(tools.CapMCPBridged)
+}
+```
+
+Unknown tools should be treated as sequential. If `inferMetadata` currently defaults unknown tools to mutating, preserve that behavior.
+

+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_adapter.go`
+- Modify: `internal/pipeline/stages_test.go`
+- Read: `internal/tools/capability.go`
+- Read: `internal/tools/registry.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add `ParallelEligibleToolCall` to `PipelineDeps`.
+2. Replace `requiresSequential` with a clearer decision helper:
+   - return sequential when any `SequentialToolCall` matches
+   - return sequential when any call is not parallel eligible
+   - return sequential when required callbacks are nil
+3. Move `PreToolUse` processing into a shared preflight helper used before both sequential execution and parallel scheduling.
+4. For blocked hooks, append blocked tool messages, increment tool count, and exclude those calls from raw execution.
+5. Apply hook argument rewrites before eligibility and scheduling decisions.
+6. Enforce `MaxToolCalls` against the whole executable batch before launching goroutines.
+7. Keep `PostToolUse` after result processing, preserving existing async semantics.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Phase 1 tests for hook parity, eligibility, and budget pass.
+- [x] Existing tests for sequential `wait` barrier still pass.
+- [x] Single-tool calls still use `ExecuteToolCall`.
+- [x] No mutating tool can enter `ExecuteToolRaw` by default.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: a tool inferred read-only is actually stateful. Mitigation: start with explicit conservative checks and no UI override.
+
+Risk: hook rewrite changes eligibility. Mitigation: apply rewrite before eligibility decision.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Do not run any tool raw path before `PreToolUse` has allowed it. A blocked hook must be a hard stop for that call.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Proceed to Phase 3 after eligibility and hook behavior pass focused tests.

+
+## Context Links
+
+- Phase 2 safety gates: [phase-02-harden-eligibility-hooks-and-budgets.md](./phase-02-harden-eligibility-hooks-and-budgets.md)
+- Tool spans: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_tool_callbacks.go`
+- Tracing docs: `docs/10-tracing-observability.md`
+
+## Overview
+
+Bound parallel execution with a fixed default and make batches debuggable in logs/traces without adding new settings UI.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: parallel raw I/O uses fixed bounded concurrency.
+- Functional: stable result aggregation/order remains unchanged.
+- Functional: partial per-tool errors stay visible as per-call tool results when represented as `tools.Result`.
+- Non-functional: no user-facing config or web UI in this phase.
+- Non-functional: log fields must avoid full arguments/secrets.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add a package-level constant in `internal/pipeline/tool_stage.go`, for example:
+
+```go
+const defaultParallelToolCallLimit = 4
+```
+
+Use a semaphore channel inside `executeParallel`. Store results by original index as today. Do not reorder by finish time.
+
+Observability should be low-noise:
+- batch start/end debug/info logs with run/session, count, limit
+- per-call index/name/id in existing `tool.call` and span data
+- avoid full argument logging beyond existing `args_len`
+
+If trace attributes are easy through existing span APIs, add batch index/count metadata. If not, keep this phase to logs and existing per-tool spans to avoid a tracing schema detour.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/pipeline/tool_stage.go`
+- Modify: `internal/pipeline/stages_test.go`
+- Optional modify: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_tool_callbacks.go`
+- Optional modify: `docs/10-tracing-observability.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add `defaultParallelToolCallLimit`.
+2. Gate raw goroutines through a semaphore.
+3. Add a unit test that raw execution peak never exceeds the fixed limit.
+4. Add batch start/end logs with safe metadata.
+5. Verify cancellation behavior still waits for launched goroutines and does not orphan spans.
+6. If simple, enrich tool span metadata with batch index/count; otherwise document why logs + existing spans are sufficient for v1.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Peak raw execution count is bounded in test.
+- [x] Result order remains original assistant tool-call order.
+- [x] Logs indicate when a parallel batch starts and completes.
+- [x] No settings schema, migration, API, or web UI changes introduced.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: too low cap leaves latency wins on table. Mitigation: fixed `4` is conservative; make configurable later only with evidence.
+
+Risk: logs leak sensitive args. Mitigation: log tool names, ids, counts, durations, args length only.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Do not emit raw tool args or outputs in new logs. Existing trace verbose mode controls larger previews.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Proceed to Phase 4 after bounded parallelism is verified.

+# Issue 81 Parallel Tool Call Hardening
+
+## Overview
+
+Issue #81 asks GoClaw to execute independent tool calls in parallel while preserving deterministic transcript order, rate limits, safety, and observability.
+
+Current `dev` already has a parallel path in `internal/pipeline/tool_stage.go`: multi-tool batches call `ExecuteToolRaw` concurrently, then process results sequentially by original index. That is the right architecture. The plan is to harden it, not rewrite it.
+
+Approved decisions:
+- Keep the existing two-phase parallel path.
+- Parallelize read-only tools only.
+- Keep `exec`, `bash`, `wait`, mutating tools, async tools, MCP-bridged tools, and unknown tools sequential by default.
+- Use a fixed in-code concurrency default now. Web/UI configurability is out of scope until users need it.
+
+Main gaps to close:
+- Parallel path currently skips synchronous `PreToolUse` hooks.
+- Any non-`wait` multi-tool batch can enter the parallel path, including mutating tools.
+- No fixed batch concurrency cap.
+- `MaxToolCalls` is checked per sequential call, but parallel scheduling can overshoot unless gated before launch.
+
+Design summary: [reports/brainstorm-summary.md](./reports/brainstorm-summary.md)

+# Issue 81 Parallel Tool Call Hardening Brainstorm Summary
+
+## Problem
+
+GoClaw should reduce latency by running independent tool calls concurrently. Current `dev` already has a parallel path, but it is too broad: any multi-tool batch except `wait` can parallelize, sync `PreToolUse` hooks are skipped, and there is no fixed raw-execution concurrency cap.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Preserve sequential execution when calls depend on earlier results.
+- Run safe read-only multi-tool batches concurrently.
+- Keep deterministic result order in transcript/UI.
+- Respect tool budget, rate limits, hooks, and cancellation.
+- Avoid parallelizing destructive operations by default.
+- Make behavior debuggable in logs/traces.
+
+## Approved Decisions
+
+- Harden existing implementation, do not rewrite.
+- Parallel eligibility is read-only tools only.
+- `exec`, `bash`, `wait`, mutating tools, async tools, MCP/unknown tools stay sequential by default.
+- Use a fixed default concurrency limit now.
+- Web UI/configurability for concurrency is deferred until user demand exists.
+
+## Evaluated Approaches
+
+| Approach | Verdict | Reason |
+|---|---|---|
+| Eligibility guard only | Reject | Too narrow; leaves hook and cap gaps. |
+| Hardened existing executor | Accept | Smallest change that satisfies safety and acceptance criteria. |
+| Full dependency planner | Reject | Over-engineered; dependency inference from tool args is unreliable. |
+
+## Recommended Solution
+
+Keep `ToolStage` two-phase design:
+
+1. Preflight sync hooks sequentially.
+2. Block or rewrite calls before scheduling.
+3. Check every remaining call is parallel-eligible.
+4. Enforce budget before launch.
+5. Run raw I/O with fixed semaphore limit.
+6. Process results sequentially in original order.
+
+## Risks
+
+- Some tools inferred read-only may still mutate internal caches. Mitigate by conservative eligibility and explicit exclusions.
+- Concurrency tests may flake. Mitigate with controlled channels and atomic peak counters.
+- Logs could leak data. Mitigate by logging counts, names, ids, durations, and `args_len`, not raw args.
+
+## Validation Criteria
+
+- Read-only multi-tool batch proves concurrent raw execution.
+- Mutating/exec/wait/MCP/unknown batches prove sequential fallback.
+- Hook block/rewrite proves no raw execution happens before sync hook approval.
+- Result order stays stable.
+- Fixed concurrency cap is enforced.
+- Focused tests and build checks pass.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None.

+# Phase 1: TDD Contract and Threat Model
+
+## Overview
+
+Lock the tool contract and threat model with failing tests before implementation. The core risk is not versioning; it is allowing agents to write arbitrary relative paths into a managed skill directory without path traversal, system-artifact, or size-limit gaps.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: define `files` payload for `skill_manage` create and patch.
+- Functional: patch can be file-only or `find`/`replace` plus files.
+- Functional: existing companion files copy forward and payload entries overlay them.
+- Non-functional: no filesystem staging required before `skill_manage`.
+- Non-functional: no UI file editor and no SQLite work in this round.
+- Security: reject unsafe paths before any disk write.
+
+## Architecture
+
+`skill_manage` remains the only changed public tool. It should treat `files` as a version payload:
+
+1. Resolve current skill and manage permission.
+2. Build final `SKILL.md` content.
+3. Validate final `SKILL.md` with `skills.GuardSkillContent`.
+4. Validate companion file payload paths, names, sizes, and total size.
+5. Create new version dir.
+6. Copy existing companions from previous version.
+7. Overlay payload files.
+8. Update DB metadata and bump loader version.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/tools/skill_manage.go`
+- Read: `internal/tools/publish_skill.go`
+- Read: `internal/skills/guard.go`
+- Read: `internal/skills/archive_extract.go`
+- Read: `internal/http/skills_versions.go`
+- Modify/create tests near existing `internal/tools` tests.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add tests first for successful file-only patch:
+   - create managed skill v1 with `SKILL.md`
+   - call `skill_manage patch` with `files: {"references/ship-workflow.md": "# Ship"}`
+   - assert v2 directory has `SKILL.md` and `references/ship-workflow.md`
+   - assert DB version moved to v2
+2. Add tests for patch with `find`/`replace` plus `files` in the same call.
+3. Add tests for create with `content` plus `files`.
+4. Add tests that existing companion files copy forward:
+   - v1 has `assets/logo.txt`
+   - patch adds `references/a.md`
+   - v2 has both files
+5. Add rejection tests before implementation:
+   - absolute path
+   - `../escape.md`
+   - Windows drive path such as `C:/x`
+   - null byte path
+   - system artifacts such as `.git/config`, `.DS_Store`, `__MACOSX/x`
+   - total payload/copy size above limit
+6. Keep test fixtures small; do not add stress or benchmark tests.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tests fail for missing `files` support before implementation.
+- [x] Tests cover manage permission path by using existing owner/manage grant helpers where practical.
+- [x] Path rejection tests prove no unsafe file lands on disk.
+- [x] Test names describe behavior, not plan/finding labels.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: validating only raw strings but not cleaned paths. Mitigation: test both raw and cleaned escape forms.
+- Risk: partial version directory left after rejected write. Mitigation: validation must happen before creating destination; add cleanup expectation if destination is created.
+- Risk: test setup over-couples to PG. Mitigation: keep Phase 1 tests at tool/filesystem level with a fake or existing test store where possible; add PG-specific coverage only if needed for version metadata.

+
+# Phase 2: Skill Manage File Payload Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement the smallest safe `files` extension inside `skill_manage`. Reuse existing copy behavior where it is correct, but add explicit payload validation because `publish_skill` copies trusted workspace directories while this path accepts direct model-provided content.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: `files` is optional object/map on `create` and `patch`.
+- Functional: create requires `content`; patch requires at least one of `find`, `visibility`, or non-empty `files`.
+- Functional: file-only patch creates a new immutable version, not a metadata-only update.
+- Functional: visibility-only patch remains metadata-only and should not create a new version.
+- Non-functional: no new database tables or migrations.
+- Security: reject unsafe paths and oversize content before writing.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add a small internal representation:
+
+```go
+type skillManagedFile struct {
+    Path    string
+    Content string
+}
+```
+
+Parsing should accept a JSON-object-shaped value from tool args:
+
+```json
+{
+  "files": {
+    "references/ship-workflow.md": "# Ship workflow",
+    "scripts/check.sh": "#!/usr/bin/env bash\n..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Validation rules:
+- path is relative after separator normalization
+- no `..` component
+- no absolute path
+- no Windows drive prefix
+- no null byte
+- not `SKILL.md`; main content stays controlled by `content` or `find`/`replace`
+- not `skills.IsSystemArtifact(path)` nor any system-artifact path component
+- file content fits per-file limit
+- final companion copy + payload total fits `maxCopySize`
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/tools/skill_manage.go`
+- Optional helper extraction: `internal/tools/publish_skill.go`
+- Do not modify: `internal/store/pg/skills_crud.go` unless metadata size calculation requires no alternative.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Extend `SkillManageTool.Parameters()` with `files`.
+2. Add parser helper for `files` from `map[string]any`, validating all values are strings.
+3. Add path validation helper in `internal/tools/skill_manage.go` or a small shared helper if `publish_skill` can reuse it without churn.
+4. Update create flow:
+   - validate `SKILL.md` content
+   - parse and validate files
+   - create version dir
+   - write `SKILL.md`
+   - write files
+   - compute directory size and hash
+   - register skill
+5. Update patch flow:
+   - permit `files` without `find`
+   - preserve visibility-only fast path when no content/files changes
+   - read current `SKILL.md` from the latest version while the slug lock is held
+   - validate final content and file payload
+   - create new version dir
+   - write final `SKILL.md`
+   - copy existing companions
+   - overlay payload files
+   - compute directory size and hash
+   - update DB
+6. If copy/overlay fails after destination creation, remove the new version directory before returning error.
+7. Keep response concise but mention count of companion files written.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Phase 1 tests pass.
+- [x] `skill_manage patch` can add `references/*.md` without filesystem staging.
+- [x] `skill_manage patch` with only `visibility` still does not create a new version.
+- [x] Invalid file payloads fail without partial durable writes.
+- [x] Code stays in existing tool boundary; no broad refactor.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: model passes nested non-string values. Mitigation: fail clearly; no implicit JSON serialization.
+- Risk: `file_size` remains `SKILL.md`-only. Mitigation: compute version directory size after writes or intentionally document if existing metadata semantics stay unchanged; preferred is directory size.
+- Risk: helper reuse from `publish_skill` causes unnecessary churn. Mitigation: duplicate tiny validation if extraction would make unrelated code noisier.

+
+# Phase 3: Runtime Readback and Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+Verify that companion files written by `skill_manage` are visible through existing runtime and HTTP readback paths, then update docs so agents know when to use `skill_manage` versus `publish_skill`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: existing `/v1/skills/{id}/files` lists new companion files.
+- Functional: existing `/v1/skills/{id}/files/{path}` reads new companion files.
+- Documentation: update tool contract and examples.
+- Out of scope: new UI editor, new REST update endpoint, SQLite Desktop support.
+
+## Architecture
+
+No new runtime API should be needed. Existing file APIs derive the version directory from `skills.file_path`, and `skill_manage` updates that path during patch. The validation task is to prove the new files are located under that directory.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Read/test: `internal/http/skills_versions.go`
+- Modify: `docs/21-agent-evolution-and-skill-management.md`
+- Modify: `docs/16-skill-publishing.md` if cross-reference wording becomes stale
+- Optional modify: `docs/15-core-skills-system.md` endpoint table only if needed
+- Optional modify: `internal/agent/systemprompt.go` if agent guidance should mention companion files
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add readback test if existing coverage does not already prove arbitrary companion files:
+   - create or patch managed skill with `references/ship-workflow.md`
+   - call list files helper/handler
+   - call read file helper/handler
+2. Confirm no frontend change is required:
+   - `useSkills.getSkillFiles` already calls `/v1/skills/{id}/files`
+   - `useSkills.getSkillFileContent` already reads a path
+   - `SkillUploadDialog` already supports ZIP upload for UI acceptance
+3. Update docs:
+   - `skill_manage` now supports `files`
+   - accepted paths and limits
+   - examples for adding `references/*.md`
+   - contrast with `publish_skill` for bulk directory publish
+4. If `internal/agent/systemprompt.go` is changed, keep guidance to one concise line to avoid prompt bloat.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Existing file viewer API can list/read added reference files.
+- [x] Docs describe `files` payload and security constraints.
+- [x] Docs explicitly say UI editor remains out of scope; use ZIP upload in UI.
+- [x] No stale statement remains that `skill_manage` is strictly `SKILL.md`-only.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: docs overpromise arbitrary binary assets while payload is string-only. Mitigation: say text/file content payload; binary assets should continue through ZIP upload unless implementation adds encoding.
+- Risk: prompt guidance causes agents to prefer `skill_manage` for bulk imports. Mitigation: docs recommend `publish_skill` for pre-existing directories and ZIP upload for UI.

+# Phase 4: Validation and Issue Handoff
+
+## Overview
+
+Run focused validation for the planning scope, then update GitHub issue #72 with the implementation summary and plan path. Do not claim SQLite/Desktop support unless separately implemented later.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Validation: focused tests for `skill_manage` and skill file readback pass.
+- Validation: compile check for Go package surface touched by the change.
+- Handoff: issue comment links this plan and states scope boundaries.
+- Git: commit and push implementation or plan changes according to requested workflow.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Validation should stay proportional. This issue changes a tool contract and filesystem writes; it does not require load tests or full integration stress.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Test command surface: `go test ./internal/tools ./internal/http ./internal/skills`
+- Compile command surface: `go test ./internal/tools`
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#72`
+- Plan path: `plans/260528-1805-skill-manage-companion-files/plan.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run focused Go tests for modified packages.
+2. Run broader compile-safe test only if helper extraction touches shared packages.
+3. Inspect `git diff --stat` and `git diff --check`.
+4. Commit with conventional message:
+   - plan-only: `feat(skills): plan skill_manage companion files`
+   - implementation later: use `fix(skills): allow skill_manage companion files`
+5. Push branch.
+6. Comment on issue #72:
+   - plan path
+   - accepted scope
+   - planned phases
+   - explicit exclusions
+7. If implemented later, include validation commands and results in the issue comment or PR body.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Tests relevant to touched packages pass.
+- [ ] Branch is pushed.
+- [ ] GitHub issue #72 has a concise comment with plan summary and filepath.
+- [ ] Handoff does not imply unsupported SQLite/Desktop scope.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: current branch name could imply unrelated issue. Mitigation: use `codex/issue-72-skill-manage-files-plan` for plan commit.
+- Risk: issue comment becomes too verbose. Mitigation: concise summary with plan path and phase list.

+# Skill Manage Companion Files
+
+## Overview
+
+Fix `digitopvn/goclaw#72` by extending the agent-facing `skill_manage` tool so agents with manage access can add or overwrite companion files while creating a new immutable managed-skill version.
+
+Scope is intentionally narrow:
+- PostgreSQL Standard only for this round.
+- No web UI file editor; existing ZIP upload and file viewer satisfy UI acceptance.
+- No change to `publish_skill` except optional helper reuse.
+- No execution/install behavior for added scripts; only store and expose files safely.
+
+Approved contract:
+- `skill_manage(action="create"|"patch", files={...})` accepts relative file paths under the skill root.
+- Allowed files include `references/**/*.md`, `scripts/**`, `assets/**`, and arbitrary non-system files.
+- Patch with only `files` is valid and creates one new immutable version.
+- Patch with `find`/`replace` plus `files` creates one new immutable version.
+- Existing companion files copy forward; new payload overlays additions/updates.
+- Security scanner still validates final `SKILL.md`; companion paths and sizes are separately validated.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [TDD Contract and Threat Model](./phase-01-tdd-contract-and-threat-model.md) | Complete |
+| 2 | [Skill Manage File Payload Implementation](./phase-02-skill-manage-file-payload-implementation.md) | Complete |
+| 3 | [Runtime Readback and Documentation](./phase-03-runtime-readback-and-documentation.md) | Complete |
+| 4 | [Validation and Issue Handoff](./phase-04-validation-and-issue-handoff.md) | Pending |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Related issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/72
+- Existing tool surface: `internal/tools/skill_manage.go`
+- Existing directory publish behavior: `internal/tools/publish_skill.go`
+- Existing runtime readback: `internal/http/skills_versions.go`
+- Existing docs: `docs/21-agent-evolution-and-skill-management.md`, `docs/16-skill-publishing.md`
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Agent with manage access can patch an existing skill and add `references/ship-workflow.md`.
+- New version contains updated `SKILL.md` plus newly added files.
+- Existing companion files survive patch unless overwritten.
+- Runtime/API file reader can read newly added files.
+- Invalid paths and system artifacts are rejected before disk write.
+- Focused Go tests cover success and rejection paths.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None. User approved scope decisions on 2026-05-28.

+- Discord thread mentions now fetch recent thread messages before the triggering mention and prepend them as context for the agent run.
+- Prior thread image and document attachments are downloaded immediately and passed through the existing inbound media pipeline, so `read_image` and `read_document` can use files posted earlier in the thread.

+# Phase 1: Characterization Tests
+
+## Overview
+
+Write failing tests that lock the expected Discord thread behavior before implementation. Tests must prove current behavior does not backfill thread history from Discord REST and does not expose prior attachments to the inbound media pipeline when runtime has no pending history.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: when a mentioned Discord thread message arrives, prior thread messages before that message are fetched and represented as context.
+- Functional: prior thread attachments are downloaded and included in published inbound media.
+- Non-functional: tests run without live Discord by using `httptest` around discordgo REST calls or a narrow test seam.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Target the handler boundary. Build a `discordgo.Session` pointed at a local test server, return `/channels/{threadID}/messages?before={currentID}&limit=N`, and inspect the published `bus.InboundMessage`.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/discord/handler_test.go`
+- Modify or create focused test file: `internal/channels/discord/thread-history-backfill_test.go`
+- Read: `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+- Read: `internal/channels/discord/media.go`
+- Read: `internal/bus/types.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a test channel fixture that can publish inbound messages to a real `bus.MessageBus` and use a local discordgo REST endpoint.
+2. Add a failing test for a public/private Discord thread: current message mentions bot; REST history returns one earlier user message; published content includes the earlier message before current message.
+3. Add a failing test where earlier history message has image and document attachments; test server serves attachment bytes; published inbound `Media` includes those files with useful filenames/MIME types.
+4. Add a failing test for missing/empty history response: handler still publishes current message and logs/continues without panic.
+5. Keep tests deterministic: no real network, no live Discord token, no sleeps.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tests fail on current code for missing thread backfill.
+- [x] Tests assert order: historical messages oldest-to-newest, then current message.
+- [x] Tests assert media count and filenames/MIME where available.
+- [x] No live credentials or real Discord calls.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: handler is large and hard to test. Mitigation: keep the test seam focused on Discord REST and bus output; do not refactor unrelated handler behavior in this phase.

+
+# Phase 2: Thread Backfill Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement the narrow Discord thread backfill that makes Phase 1 tests pass. The backfill runs only when the inbound message is in a Discord thread and the bot is addressed.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: detect Discord thread channels reliably.
+- Functional: call `ChannelMessages(threadID, limit, before=currentMessageID, after="", around="")`.
+- Functional: merge prior text and prior attachments into the same inbound run.
+- Non-functional: bounded message count, bounded attachment count, bounded file size, bounded total timeout.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add focused helper functions instead of growing `handler.go` further. `handleMessage` should ask a helper for `threadBackfillResult`, then prepend its context and merge its media before publishing inbound.
+
+Suggested helper shape:
+
+```go
+type threadBackfillResult struct {
+    Context string
+    Media   []bus.MediaFile
+}
+```
+
+Use Discord REST only for thread messages before the triggering message. Reverse REST result because Discord returns newest-to-oldest.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/discord/media.go`
+- Create focused helper if needed: `internal/channels/discord/thread-history-backfill.go`
+- Read: `internal/channels/history.go`
+- Read: `internal/channels/media/media_tags.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add constants: history message limit (start 25), history media max bytes (5 MB), history media max refs (15), total timeout (30s).
+2. Add `isDiscordThread` helper using session state first and REST `Channel` fallback when state misses.
+3. Add `fetchThreadHistoryBefore(ctx, threadID, currentMessageID)` using `ChannelMessages`.
+4. Normalize messages: skip current/bot messages, skip empty content unless attachments exist, resolve author display name, keep timestamps.
+5. Resolve prior attachments immediately using existing download/classify path with stricter history caps.
+6. Build a clear context block: `[Discord thread messages before this mention - for context]`.
+7. Merge backfill into current flow before `PublishInbound`: current user message remains the active request; prior history is context only.
+8. On REST errors or no permissions, log `slog.Warn("discord: thread history backfill failed", ...)` and continue current message.
+9. Keep pending `GroupHistory()` behavior unchanged for normal group mention gating.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Phase 1 tests pass.
+- [x] Backfill is invoked only for `Channel.IsThread()` and mentioned/reply-to-bot triggers.
+- [x] Attachment download failures skip that attachment, not the whole run.
+- [x] No schema/config migration required.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: Discord REST permissions vary by server. Mitigation: graceful fallback and explicit docs note.
+
+Risk: rate limits if called too often. Mitigation: only on thread mention, low default limit, no pagination in v1.

+# Phase 3: Media Tool Integration Tests
+
+## Overview
+
+Prove the backfilled attachments are not just shown as text tags; they must flow into persisted media refs so `read_image` and `read_document` can access them in the agent run.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: backfilled image attachments become image refs available to `read_image`.
+- Functional: backfilled document attachments become document refs available to `read_document`.
+- Non-functional: reuse existing media persistence and tool context logic, do not create a Discord-specific media store.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The Discord handler publishes `bus.MediaFile`. Agent loop persists those via `persistMedia`, adds `MediaRefs` to the current user message, and then tools resolve refs from context/history. Tests should validate at the lowest reliable layer without live LLM calls.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/discord/thread-history-backfill_test.go`
+- Modify or add targeted agent test: `internal/agent/loop_input_media_test.go` or existing media tests
+- Read: `internal/agent/loop_input_media.go`
+- Read: `internal/agent/media_tool_routing.go`
+- Read: `internal/tools/read_image.go`
+- Read: `internal/tools/read_document.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a focused test that feeds backfilled `bus.MediaFile` image/doc into `enrichInputMedia` and asserts resulting `MediaRefs` contain image/document kinds.
+2. For image path mode, assert `loadHistoricalImagesForTool` can include persisted image refs in tool context.
+3. For document path mode, assert `tools.MediaDocRefsFromCtx(ctx)` contains backfilled document refs.
+4. Ensure content tags include media IDs/paths where existing enrichment functions already provide them.
+5. Avoid actual provider calls; do not invoke LLM/vision/document providers.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tests prove `read_image` has image context or path access for prior thread image.
+- [x] Tests prove `read_document` can resolve prior thread document ref.
+- [x] No fake string-only acceptance; actual files are persisted/resolved.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: tool integration test may overreach into private loop internals. Mitigation: prefer existing agent media tests and helper-level assertions over full LLM runs.

+# Phase 4: Docs and Verification
+
+## Overview
+
+Document the new Discord thread behavior and run focused verification for compile and regression safety.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: docs explain that Discord thread mention triggers bounded REST history backfill.
+- Non-functional: no misleading promise for channels/groups, no claim that history works without Discord `READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Docs live in existing channel docs. Verification follows repo checklist but scoped to files touched unless a broader compile catches integration issues.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- Optional: `docs/project-changelog.md` if implementation is considered significant user-facing fix
+- Run: `go test ./internal/channels/discord ./internal/agent`
+- Run: `go build ./...`
+- Run: `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Update Discord section with thread history backfill behavior, bounds, and permission caveat.
+2. Add changelog entry if implementation changes user-facing Discord behavior.
+3. Run focused tests for Discord and agent media packages.
+4. Run Go compile checks for PG and SQLite builds.
+5. If tests need live Discord, do not add them; keep live verification as manual note.
+6. Reply to GitHub issue #69 with implemented behavior and verification commands after code is done.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Docs mention Discord thread-only scope.
+- [x] Focused tests pass.
+- [x] `go build ./...` passes.
+- [x] `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...` passes.
+- [x] GitHub issue reply includes summary and verification.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: full integration tests require local Postgres/pgvector and may be unavailable. Mitigation: run compile + focused unit tests; list skipped integration tests explicitly.

+# Discord Thread History Attachment Backfill
+
+## Overview
+
+Fix GitHub issue #69 with a narrow Discord-thread-only backfill. When the bot is mentioned in a Discord thread, fetch recent thread messages before the triggering message via Discord REST, convert prior text into context, download bounded prior attachments, and pass those files through the existing inbound media pipeline so `read_image` and `read_document` can access them.
+
+Non-goals: no global Discord group/channel history backfill, no schema migration, no full-thread archive export, no always-on polling. If Discord permissions do not allow history, log and continue with current message.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Characterization Tests](./phase-01-characterization-tests.md) | Complete |
+| 2 | [Thread Backfill Implementation](./phase-02-thread-backfill-implementation.md) | Complete |
+| 3 | [Media Tool Integration Tests](./phase-03-media-tool-integration-tests.md) | Complete |
+| 4 | [Docs and Verification](./phase-04-docs-and-verification.md) | Complete |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/69
+- Discord docs: `GET /channels/{channel.id}/messages` returns newest-to-oldest messages, `limit` 1-100, with `before/after/around`; guild channels need `VIEW_CHANNEL`, and missing `READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY` returns no messages.
+- Discord attachment docs: fetched message payload attachment URLs are signed CDN URLs valid when received, so history attachments must be downloaded immediately.
+- Existing Discord handler: `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+- Existing Discord media download/classification: `internal/channels/discord/media.go`
+- Existing media tool pipeline: `internal/agent/loop_input_media.go`, `internal/agent/media_tool_routing.go`, `internal/tools/read_image.go`, `internal/tools/read_document.go`
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] In a Discord thread, message A before bot mention with image/doc attachment becomes available to the run triggered by message B.
+- [x] Agent receives prior text context and prior attachment files.
+- [x] `read_image` can analyze prior image; `read_document` can resolve prior document.
+- [x] Backfill runs only for Discord threads when the bot is addressed.
+- [x] Backfill is bounded by message count, attachment count, file size, and timeout.
+- [x] Missing Discord history permission is graceful: no crash, current message still processed.
+
+## Implementation Boundary
+
+Use TDD. Do not implement a broad channel history system. Keep this as a Discord thread adapter feature around current `handleMessage` flow and existing media pipeline.

+
+**Features**
+
+- Extended `GET /v1/skills/export` with selected skill IDs via repeated `id`
+  or comma-separated `ids`, while preserving the no-selection full export as
+  tenant custom-skill only by default.
+- Added archive format selection: `tar.gz`, `tgz` alias, and `zip`. Direct and
+  SSE download paths now return matching archive filenames and content types.
+- Selected exports can include system/core skills explicitly without changing
+  full backup defaults.
+- Archive output now preserves skill directory content such as `SKILL.md`,
+  `references/`, `scripts/`, and `assets/`, while skipping unsafe paths and
+  symlinks. Nested files named `metadata.json` or `grants.jsonl` remain
+  exportable; only generated root archive artifacts are skipped.
+- Archive assembly streams file contents into the writer and revalidates opened
+  files against the resolved skill root to avoid large in-memory reads and
+  symlink-swap escapes.
+- Web Skills page now supports Download from the detail dialog and Download
+  selected from the bulk toolbar, with format selection and EN/VI/ZH labels.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added backend coverage for export request parsing, archive writers, safe
+  directory walking, selected system/custom scope, and full export defaults.
+- Added web helper coverage for selected export URLs and archive filenames.

+
+# Phase 1: API Contract and Export Writers
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#80`
+- Backend route registration: `internal/http/skills.go`
+- Existing export handler: `internal/http/skills_export.go`
+- Existing export queries: `internal/store/pg/skills_export_queries.go`
+- Skill file/version helpers: `internal/http/skills_versions.go`
+- Existing import parser: `internal/http/skills_import.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Extend the backend export path to support selected skills, system skills when explicitly selected, and multiple archive formats while keeping existing all-custom-skills export compatible.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: admin can export selected skill IDs, including system/core skills.
+- Functional: admin can choose `zip`, `tar.gz`, or `tgz`.
+- Functional: archive preserves skill directory content, including `SKILL.md`, `references/`, `scripts/`, `assets/`, and metadata.
+- Functional: no `ids` preserves current tenant-scoped custom-skill export behavior.
+- Non-functional: no shelling out to `zip`, `tar`, `gzip`, or external tools.
+- Non-functional: keep path traversal, symlink escape, and export size protections.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add a small archive-writer abstraction:
+
+```go
+type skillArchiveWriter interface {
+    AddFile(name string, data []byte) error
+    Close() error
+    ContentType() string
+    Extension() string
+}
+```
+
+Use two implementations:
+- `tar.gz`: existing `gzip.Writer` + `tar.Writer`
+- `zip`: Go standard library `archive/zip`
+
+Skill selection flow:
+1. Parse `format`, `ids`, and `include_system`.
+2. Resolve admin auth through existing `adminMiddleware`.
+3. Query custom skills by tenant for full export.
+4. Query selected skills by IDs for selected export; enforce tenant scope and allow system skills only when selected.
+5. For each skill, resolve a readable root:
+   - managed custom root from `file_path`
+   - system root from version directory or bundled fallback, mirroring file-browser behavior
+6. Walk allowed files and add normalized archive paths.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/http/skills_export.go`
+- Modify: `internal/store/pg/skills_export_queries.go`
+- Possibly modify: `internal/http/skills_versions.go` to share root-resolution helper
+- Create: `internal/http/skills_export_test.go`
+- Create or extend: `internal/store/pg/skills_export_queries_test.go`
+
+## Tests Before
+
+1. Backend handler contract tests fail first:
+   - `GET /v1/skills/export?format=zip&id=<system-id>` returns ZIP content type and contains `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md`.
+   - `GET /v1/skills/export?format=tgz&id=<custom-id>` returns gzip tar content type.
+   - unsupported `format=rar` returns `400`.
+   - non-admin caller gets `403`.
+2. Store query tests fail first:
+   - selected skill query returns system and custom rows when IDs are explicit.
+   - full export query remains custom-only by default.
+   - tenant scope blocks selected skills from another tenant.
+
+## Refactor
+
+1. Extract current tar writer into a reusable archive-writer helper.
+2. Add ZIP writer using standard library only.
+3. Add format parser with aliases:
+   - `tar.gz`, `tgz`, empty -> gzip tar
+   - `zip` -> ZIP
+4. Add selected skill resolver query in `pg`.
+5. Add directory walker that:
+   - normalizes slash paths
+   - skips symlinks and OS junk
+   - rejects `..`, absolute paths, Windows drives, and null bytes
+   - enforces existing `maxExportSize`
+6. Include `metadata.json` and `grants.jsonl` as generated files.
+
+## Tests After
+
+1. Archive content tests:
+   - nested `references/`, `scripts/`, and `assets/` files are present.
+   - generated `metadata.json` excludes internal file path.
+   - `grants.jsonl` remains included for custom skill grants.
+2. Compatibility tests:
+   - no `ids` still exports custom skills only.
+   - existing SSE path still returns `download_url`.
+   - direct download sets correct `Content-Disposition` filename.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write failing tests for format parsing, selected IDs, system inclusion, and folder walking.
+2. Add `parseSkillExportRequest(r)` to centralize query parsing.
+3. Add `ExportSelectedSkills(ctx, db, ids, includeSystem)` in `internal/store/pg/skills_export_queries.go`.
+4. Replace direct `tar.Writer` code with archive-writer interface.
+5. Add ZIP implementation.
+6. Replace single `SKILL.md` read with safe directory walk from resolved root.
+7. Keep existing SSE token flow and direct response flow.
+8. Update `docs/18-http-api.md` only if implementation changes the documented API shape.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Backend tests written before implementation.
+- [x] Store selected-skill query is tenant-scoped.
+- [x] Archive writer abstraction supports ZIP and gzip tar.
+- [x] System/core selected skills export with full directory contents.
+- [x] Full export backward-compatible.
+- [x] HTTP docs updated if needed.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] `format=zip`, `format=tar.gz`, and `format=tgz` work.
+- [x] Selected system/core skill archive contains `SKILL.md` and resource dirs when present.
+- [x] Full export without `ids` does not accidentally include bundled system skills.
+- [x] Unauthorized/non-admin export is rejected.
+- [x] `go test ./internal/http ./internal/store/pg` passes.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: including system skills in full backups bloats archives and changes import semantics.
+  Mitigation: only include system skills when selected or `include_system=true`.
+- Risk: path traversal or symlink escape during directory walk.
+  Mitigation: reuse strict archive path sanitizer and skip symlinks.
+- Risk: ZIP export breaks import compatibility.
+  Mitigation: document that issue #80 download supports ZIP; existing full import/export remains tar.gz-compatible unless implementation adds ZIP import support later.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Admin-only gate stays in `RegisterRoutes`.
+- Tenant scope must be enforced in SQL, not only UI filtering.
+- Generated metadata must not leak server filesystem paths.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Phase 2 consumes the backend API from the Skills page and should not duplicate archive assembly client-side.

+# Phase 2: Skills UI Download Actions
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Skills page: `ui/web/src/pages/skills/skills-page.tsx`
+- Skills hook: `ui/web/src/pages/skills/hooks/use-skills.ts`
+- Detail dialog: `ui/web/src/pages/skills/skill-detail-dialog.tsx`

+- i18n: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/skills.json`
+
+## Overview
+
+Expose admin-only download actions where users already manage skills: one action in skill detail and one bulk action for selected rows.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: admin can download current skill from detail dialog.
+- Functional: admin can select multiple skills and download one archive.
+- Functional: selected system/core skills are eligible.
+- Functional: UI supports archive format choice.
+- Functional: empty selection is disabled and surfaced clearly.
+- Non-functional: use existing `HttpClient.downloadBlob` and auth headers.
+- Non-functional: no client-side ZIP assembly.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use backend as source of truth. UI constructs download URLs only:
+
+```text
+SkillDetailDialog
+  -> useSkills().downloadSkills({ ids: [skill.id], format })
+  -> /v1/skills/export?id=<id>&format=<format>
+
+SkillBulkActionsToolbar
+  -> useSkills().downloadSkills({ ids: selectedIds, format })
+  -> /v1/skills/export?ids=<comma-list>&format=<format>
+```
+
+Format control:
+- Keep default `zip` in the Skills page because browser users expect ZIP.
+- Offer `zip`, `tar.gz`, `tgz` in a compact select/menu.
+- Import/export page can continue defaulting to tar.gz for compatibility.
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/vi/skills.json`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/zh/skills.json`
+- Create or extend tests near `ui/web/src/pages/skills/lib/` if logic is extracted.
+
+## Tests Before
+
+1. Add UI logic tests for:
+   - export URL params from one ID and many IDs.
+   - filename extension from selected format.
+   - no selected IDs -> disabled bulk download.
+2. Add component tests only if existing test setup makes it low-friction; otherwise keep logic in pure helpers.
+
+## Refactor
+
+1. Add a small helper:
+   - `buildSkillExportParams(ids, format)`
+   - `skillExportDownloadName(skills, format)`
+2. Add `downloadSkills(ids, format)` to `useSkills`.
+3. Add local `exportFormat` state in `SkillsPage` or small child component.
+4. Wire bulk toolbar download button.
+5. Wire detail dialog download button near Copy Link/version controls.
+6. Add i18n keys in all three locale files before rendering strings.
+
+## Tests After
+
+1. Verify pure helper tests pass.
+2. Verify TypeScript build catches prop wiring:
+   - `pnpm -C ui/web build`
+3. Manual UI check if dev server is available:
+   - custom tab selected skills -> download enabled.
+   - core tab selected skills -> download enabled.
+   - no selected skills -> no bulk toolbar.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write failing helper tests for URL/query and filename behavior.
+2. Add helper module only if it prevents bloating `skills-page.tsx`; use kebab-case filename.
+3. Add `downloadSkills` in `useSkills` using `http.downloadBlob`.
+4. Pass download callbacks into `SkillBulkActionsToolbar` and `SkillDetailDialog`.
+5. Add format selector using existing UI select/menu patterns.
+6. Add loading state so repeated clicks are disabled.
+7. Add success/error toasts.
+8. Update all `skills.json` locale files.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] URL/filename helper tests first.
+- [x] `useSkills` exposes `downloadSkills`.
+- [x] Detail dialog has single-skill Download.
+- [x] Bulk toolbar has Download selected.
+- [x] Core/system selected rows are not filtered out.
+- [x] EN/VI/ZH strings added.
+- [x] Web build passes.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Admin can download one skill from detail.
+- [x] Admin can download selected custom and system skills from list.
+- [x] UI can choose `zip`, `tar.gz`, or `tgz`.
+- [x] Empty selection and loading states are correct.
+- [x] UI does not assemble archives client-side.
+- [x] `pnpm -C ui/web test -- skills` and `pnpm -C ui/web build` pass.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: adding too much state to `skills-page.tsx`.
+  Mitigation: extract helpers and keep UI state minimal.
+- Risk: "Download" icon conflicts with dependency install icon.
+  Mitigation: labels and tooltip text clarify skill export vs dependency install.
+- Risk: admin-only feature visible to non-admin due route assumptions.
+  Mitigation: Skills page route/admin context should be checked; backend remains source of enforcement.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- UI visibility is convenience only; backend admin gate is authoritative.
+- Do not expose raw archive token or filesystem path in UI state.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Phase 3 validates backend and UI together, then comments the issue with plan path and implementation summary.

+# Phase 3: Regression Validation and Issue Handoff
+
+## Context Links
+
+- API docs: `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- Changelog: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#80`
+- Existing beta workflow note: `dev-beta-release.yaml` is the release check surface for later implementation, not for this plan-only branch.
+
+## Overview
+
+Run the TDD regression gates, update docs if API changed, and prepare the implementation handoff for issue #80.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: all planned acceptance criteria are validated by tests or manual checks.
+- Functional: issue #80 gets a concise summary and implementation PR path.
+- Non-functional: ship by PR only; do not merge implementation in this phase.
+- Non-functional: keep reports concise and list unresolved questions last.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Validation is layered:
+
+```text
+Backend tests
+  -> archive formats
+  -> selected/system skill scope
+  -> permissions
+
+Web tests/build
+  -> URL params and filename helpers
+  -> component prop wiring
+  -> locale completeness
+
+Docs/handoff
+  -> HTTP API docs if route contract changed
+  -> issue comment with plan path
+```
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify if needed: `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- Modify if implementation lands: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- No planned source changes in this phase beyond docs/test fixes.
+
+## Tests Before
+
+Before implementing final polish, confirm expected failures from Phases 1-2 are real:
+- backend selected export tests fail before backend changes.
+- UI helper tests fail before UI helper changes.
+
+## Refactor
+
+Keep refactor minimal:
+- remove duplicated archive filename construction.
+- remove duplicated query param building.
+- keep docs updated only for changed API behavior.
+
+## Tests After
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+go test ./internal/http ./internal/store/pg
+pnpm -C ui/web test -- skills
+pnpm -C ui/web build
+```
+
+If archive writer changes wider shared helpers, also run:
+
+```bash
+go build ./...
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run backend focused tests.
+2. Run UI focused tests.
+3. Run UI build.
+4. Run Go build if shared backend helpers changed.
+5. Update `docs/18-http-api.md` with `format`, `ids`, and system-skill selection semantics.
+6. Update `docs/project-changelog.md` after implementation lands.
+7. Comment issue #80 with:
+   - selected approach
+   - archive formats
+   - admin-only permission model
+   - plan path
+   - validation commands to expect.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Backend focused tests pass.
+- [x] Web focused tests pass.
+- [x] Web build passes.
+- [x] Go build runs if needed.
+- [x] HTTP API docs match actual query params.
+- [x] Issue #80 comment posted with plan path.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] All acceptance criteria from issue #80 mapped to phases.
+- [x] No unresolved API questions remain.
+- [x] Issue #80 has an implementation summary comment.
+- [x] Implementation is ready for PR review and beta shipping label.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: docs claim ZIP import support when implementation only supports ZIP export.
+  Mitigation: docs must say export/download explicitly unless ZIP import is actually implemented.
+- Risk: selected export tests pass but import/export page behavior regresses.
+  Mitigation: include no-ids tar.gz compatibility test.
+- Risk: issue comment over-promises implementation.
+  Mitigation: comment lists completed validation commands and links the PR.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Issue comment should not include local secrets, env paths, or private tokens.
+- Commit only implementation, plan, and docs artifacts for this issue branch.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Create PR, wait for CI, then comment and relabel issue #80.

+# Skill Download and Selective Export Web UI
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement issue #80 by extending the existing skills export surface instead of creating a parallel subsystem.
+
+User decisions locked:
+- Archive formats: support popular server-generated formats: `zip`, `tar.gz`, and `tgz` alias.
+- Scope: downloadable skills include custom and system/core skills when explicitly selected.
+- Permission model: admin-only.
+
+Backward compatibility:
+- Existing full skills export remains compatible with `/import-export`: no `ids` means tenant-scoped custom skills by default.
+- `/skills` detail and bulk actions use selected IDs, so system/core skills can be exported without changing full backup defaults.
+
+## Current Code Context
+
+- Existing backend export: `internal/http/skills_export.go`

+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [API Contract and Export Writers](./phase-01-api-contract-and-export-writers.md) | Complete |
+| 2 | [Skills UI Download Actions](./phase-02-skills-ui-download-actions.md) | Complete |
+| 3 | [Regression Validation and Issue Handoff](./phase-03-regression-validation-and-issue-handoff.md) | Complete |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#80`
+- No blocking plan found. Existing pending merge-train plan touches release flow, not this feature area.
+
+## API Contract Target
+
+`GET /v1/skills/export`
+
+Query params:
+- `stream=true|false`: keep existing behavior.
+- `format=tar.gz|tgz|zip`: default `tar.gz`; `tgz` aliases to gzip tar writer.
+- `ids=<uuid>,<uuid>` or repeated `id=<uuid>`: optional selected skill IDs.
+- `include_system=true|false`: optional for full export only. Selected `ids` can include system skills without this flag.
+
+Response filenames:
+- Single selected skill: `goclaw-skill-<slug>-v<version>.<ext>`
+- Multi/full export: `goclaw-skills-export-YYYYMMDD-HHmm.<ext>`
+
+Archive layout:
+```text
+skills/<slug>/metadata.json
+skills/<slug>/SKILL.md
+skills/<slug>/references/**
+skills/<slug>/scripts/**
+skills/<slug>/assets/**
+skills/<slug>/grants.jsonl
+```
+
+## Validation Commands
+
+- `go test ./internal/http ./internal/store/pg`
+- `pnpm -C ui/web test -- skills`
+- `pnpm -C ui/web build`
+- If backend code changes touch wider store contracts: `go build ./...`
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Viewer/operator downloads.
+- RAR/7z export creation.
+- Changing skills import to accept ZIP in this plan unless implementation discovers import/export mismatch that blocks issue #80 acceptance.
+- Auto-publishing release or merging implementation PR.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None for planning. RAR/7z intentionally excluded from "popular archive formats" because they require extra dependencies or non-standard writers; ZIP and tar.gz cover browser/download and Unix portability.

+# Local-First Document Text Extraction (PDF/DOCX)
+
+**Date**: 2026-05-29 17:26
+**Severity**: Medium
+**Component**: read_document tool / DocumentParser
+**Status**: Shipped
+
+## What Happened
+
+Delivered local-first text extraction adapter for `read_document` tool. PDF/DOCX files now optionally extract text via `pdftotext` (poppler) / `pandoc` (DOCX sandbox mode) *before* falling back to cloud vision LLM chain. Trades off extraction quality (plaintext loses layout, tables, multi-column semantics) for privacy + token cost savings on text-rich documents.
+
+Opt-in by default OFF — users must explicitly set `document_parser.local_first: true` in config. This deliberate choice avoids shipping a regression: scanned PDFs + image-only documents yield empty local output, forcing cloud fallback anyway, wasting latency on a guaranteed miss.
+
+## The Brutal Truth
+
+This feature feels overdue and also fragile simultaneously. On one hand, it's a no-brainer privacy win for local deployments — why burn Gemini's vision context on a 100-page plaintext PDF when you can `pdftotext` it in 50ms locally? On the other, plaintext extraction fundamentally cannot preserve document structure. Users who expect formatted table output from local parsing *will* be disappointed; they need the vision chain.
+
+The default-OFF toggle was the pragmatic choice: let power users opt in, don't punish document quality for the majority. But that also means the feature ships with zero real-world usage data. We'll learn on production deployments whether the latency win justifies the extraction quality gap.
+
+## Technical Details
+
+**New interface:** `DocumentParser` in `internal/tools/document_parser.go` — two methods:
+- `Extract(ctx, path, mime) (string, error)` — returns plaintext or sentinel error (`ErrParserUnsupported`, `ErrParserUnavailable`, `ErrParserEmpty`)
+- `Supports(mime) bool` — runtime check: config enabled + binary resolvable via LookPath
+
+**LocalExtractParser implementation:**
+
+1. **No-shell subprocess** (`exec.Command` not `sh -c`) — direct argument array, never string concat.
+2. **Process-group kill on timeout** — `SIGTERM` → 3s grace → `SIGKILL` via `setProcessGroup/killProcessGroup`. Pandoc forks helper processes; killing the group reaps grandchildren. NOT `exec.CommandContext` (simpler, but would only kill direct child, orphaning helpers).
+3. **Minimal subprocess env** — `buildCredentialedEnv(nil)` captures PATH/HOME/LANG/USER only. Never inherit gateway env (holds DB DSNs, API keys, encryption keys). Same posture as exec tool.
+4. **Bounded stdout** — `cappedWriter` buffers up to 500KB (`documentMaxTextBytes`), silently discards overflow, always reports full write so child never blocks on pipe. Appends truncation marker matching the existing direct-text truncation behavior.
+5. **Safe binary args:**
+   - `pdftotext` omits `--` terminator (poppler's parser doesn't treat it as option-end; would consume it as positional, clobbering the real path).
+   - `pandoc --sandbox` for untrusted DOCX (prevents fetch/read-arbitrary-files during conversion).
+6. **Extracted text = untrusted** — never changes trust model. Inline with existing direct-text fast-path; no new injection vector.
+
+**Integration into read_document:**
+
+Local-first block sits *after* existing guards (archive check, text-readable fast-path, 20MB read guard) *before* vision chain. Path validated at exec boundary (`validateExecPath` reuses `resolvePathWithAllowed` + `checkDeniedPath` so MediaRef-derived paths get same workspace confinement check).
+
+Any miss (disabled / unsupported mime / missing binary / empty output / exec error / timeout) falls through silently to vision chain — never errors. Clean hit returns plaintext with **zero Provider/Model/Usage** (no LLM spend).
+
+## What We Tried
+
+N/A — new feature, no prior attempts.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+Motivation: issue #84 (token cost + privacy on local deployments with text-heavy PDFs). Vision LLM chains waste 250+ tokens per document page for purely textual content; local extraction avoids that spend + keeps data off-cloud for privacy-sensitive deployments.
+
+Decision to default OFF stems from observing plaintext extraction limitations: scanned PDFs (image-only) + multi-column layouts + formatted tables all lose semantic information when extracted as flat text. Forcing this on all users regresses experience. Opt-in preserves quality for majority, enables cost savings for explicit users.
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. **Subprocess timeout strategy matters.** Process-group kill is cleanest for extractors that fork helpers. CommandContext would orphan grandchildren. In production, timeouts are less about hung processes (modern tools timeout internally) and more about defense-in-depth; document a timeout will never be hit in practice, but it saves from catastrophic hangs.
+
+2. **Untrusted input + subprocess = attack surface.** Spent care on: minimal env (no secrets), no-shell exec (no globbing), `pandoc --sandbox` (no file I/O), bounded output (no OOM), path validation at exec boundary (no traversal). These are defensive layers; a single layer's failure shouldn't cascade. Validation + env isolation are the hardest wins.
+
+3. **Opt-in vs. opt-out cuts both ways.** Default-OFF means the feature ships with zero usage data. Production will tell us if local extraction is enough for the use cases pushing for it (and if not, whether vision fallback makes it moot). Default-ON would have been faster to adoption but would have regressed document quality perception immediately. Chose sustainable over frictionless.
+
+4. **Truncation markers must match.** Both direct-text and local extraction append the same `[... truncated at 500KB ...]` marker. Downstream (agent, logs) sees identical output shape. Small detail, huge payoff: no code changes needed to handle truncation; it just works.
+
+5. **Testing on stubbed binaries is essential.** Tests mock `LookPath` so `pdftotext`/`pandoc` don't need to be installed to verify logic (timeout kill, capped write, path validation). Leaves open the question of real binary output quality, but that's expected to vary by tool version.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Monitoring:** Instrument extraction hits vs. misses in production (`slog.Info` already in place). Monitor fallback rate to vision chain — if >90% miss, feature is unused; if <10% miss, local extraction is carrying load.
+
+2. **Real-world feedback:** Opt-in means early power users will report quality issues or token savings. Collect feedback on whether plaintext extraction is good enough for their PDFs. May need advanced config (e.g., OCR pipeline for scanned docs, pandoc output format tuning).
+
+3. **Binary availability docs:** Desktop Lite (`sqliteonly` build) doesn't include `pdftotext`/`pandoc`. Clarify that local-first requires full server variant (or binaries installed at runtime). Update install guides.
+
+4. **Potential enhancements (deferred):**
+   - OCR pipeline for scanned PDFs (tesseract) — adds latency, changes computation model
+   - Fallback to LLM-only if local extraction is disabled (not yet exposed as easy toggle)
+   - Per-document extraction strategy (hint: "scanned" vs. "text" → choose pipeline)
+
+**Owned by:** Tools team.
+**Deadline:** Monitor week 1 post-ship for adoption metrics.

 ## 2026-05-29
 
+### Local-first document text extraction adapter (read_document privacy optimization)
+
+Adds optional local extraction pipeline to the `read_document` tool, allowing
+PDF and DOCX parsing via `pdftotext` (poppler-utils) and `pandoc` before
+falling back to cloud vision. Reduces token costs and improves privacy for
+document analysis when local binaries are available.
+
+**New**
+
+- `DocumentParser` interface + `LocalExtractParser` implementation in
+  `internal/tools/document_parser.go`. Handles PDF (`pdftotext`) and DOCX
+  (`pandoc`) with no-shell subprocess exec, binary detection, process-group
+  timeout kill (SIGTERM → 3s grace → SIGKILL), minimal subprocess environment,
+  and 500KB output limit.
+- `DocumentParserConfig` in `internal/config/config_channels.go` under `tools` section:
+  `local_first` (opt-in, default false), `max_pages` (default 200), `timeout_sec`
+  (default 30), `min_text_len` (default 16). Config is read at tool construction;
+  binary availability re-checked per call for runtime installs.
+- Integration in `read_document` tool: `SetLocalParser()` wired at gateway
+  startup (`cmd/gateway_managed.go`). On a clean extraction hit, returns text
+  with no LLM usage (zero tokens, no Provider/Model/Usage fields). Any miss
+  (disabled, unsupported mime, missing binary, timeout, empty output, exec
+  error) transparently falls back to the cloud vision chain unchanged.
+- Security: subprocess exec uses `exec.Command` (no shell), docPath validated
+  at the exec boundary, extracted text treated as untrusted, minimal env
+  (no gateway secrets), `pandoc --sandbox` for DOCX parsing.
+
+**Requirements**
+
+- Requires `pdftotext` and `pandoc` on PATH for local extraction. Present in:
+  - Docker `full` variant (`ghcr.io/nextlevelbuilder/goclaw:vX.Y.Z-full`)
+  - Builds with `-tags "" -X main.enableFullSkills=true` (when available)
+- Desktop Lite edition: local extraction wired but not user-configurable
+  (remains in code for future mobile/CLI usage; server/Docker only now).
+
+**Docs**
+
+- `docs/03-tools-system.md` § 5 — new `document_parser` config block with all
+  four fields, defaults, and fallback semantics.
+- `docs/03-tools-system.md` § 4 (Media Reading) — updated `read_document`
+  description to mention local-first extraction option.
+
+**Testing**
+
+- Behavior unchanged when `local_first: false` (default).
+- Verify local extraction when enabled: create test PDF/DOCX, enable config,
+  inspect tool output for zero-token response vs cloud vision (Gemini, etc.).

+### Shell security group disabled state persistence (issue #75)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Added regression coverage proving `config.patch` preserves explicit
+  `tools.shellDenyGroups` values set to `false` in memory, saved config JSON,
+  and follow-up `config.get` responses.
+- Aligned Claude CLI and ACP provider runtime registration with the saved
+  shell deny-group config. Provider-side deny patterns now derive from
+  `tools.ResolveDenyPatterns(cfg.Tools.ShellDenyGroups)` instead of static
+  defaults, so disabled groups stay disabled after reload/provider registration.
+- Re-registers existing Claude CLI/ACP provider runtimes on config changes so
+  settings-page saves affect runtime enforcement without restart.
+- Uses locked shell deny-group snapshots before HTTP provider registration, so
+  provider creation cannot race config reload while reading the override map.
+- Kept missing shell deny-group keys as inherited defaults; only explicit
+  `false` disables a group.
+
+**Tests**
+

 ## 2026-05-29
 
+### Archived run timeline (issue #76)
+
+Adds persisted run archive timeline entries for session detail review.
+
+**New**
+
+- `run_timeline_items` schema for PostgreSQL and SQLite/Lite, with tenant/run
+  sequence uniqueness and session/run indexes.
+- Best-effort agent event recorder for `activity`, `assistant.message`,
+  `tool.call`, `tool.result`, and `run.status` entries.
+- HTTP `GET /v1/runs/{runID}/timeline` and WS `run.timeline.get` read APIs,
+  including tenant/user visibility filtering.
+- Web session detail timeline panel using the WS API and localized labels.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Tool arguments/results are persisted as bounded previews only.
+- Raw thinking/reasoning is not persisted.
+- Non-admin reads are filtered to the connected/effective user.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added store coverage for PG and SQLite, recorder tests, HTTP/WS API tests,
+  permission classification coverage, and UI display mapping tests.
+

 ### Shell security group disabled state persistence (issue #75)

+
+# Phase 1: TDD Contract and Schema
+
+## Context Links
+
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#76`
+- Related issue boundary: `digitopvn/goclaw#67`
+- Current schema: `migrations/000001_init_schema.up.sql`
+- SQLite schema: `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.sql`
+- Trace store reference: `internal/store/tracing_store.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Define the durable run timeline contract and add tests before schema/store code. This phase locks the archive semantics so later implementation does not drift into issue #67 delivery behavior.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- `sessions.messages` is useful for conversation history but not reliable enough for exact live event rhythm.
+- `traces` and `spans` are diagnostic product data with different retention/debug semantics.
+- Archive timeline needs its own append-only table because ordering and privacy rules differ.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: define timeline item DTOs for activity, assistant message, tool call, tool result, and run status.
+- Functional: expose Phase 1 storage as previews only for tool args/results.
+- Functional: include `run_id`, `session_key`, `agent_id`, `tenant_id`, `seq`, `type`, `status`, timestamps, optional `trace_id`, optional `span_id`.
+- Non-functional: preserve strict sequence ordering under parallel tool calls.
+- Non-functional: support both PostgreSQL and SQLite/Lite.
+- Non-functional: no raw hidden thinking persistence.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use a dedicated append-only product table instead of reconstructing from `sessions.messages` or `spans`.
+
+Proposed table:
+
+```text
+run_timeline_items
+- id uuid/text primary key
+- tenant_id uuid/text not null
+- run_id text not null
+- session_key text not null
+- agent_id uuid/text nullable
+- user_id text nullable
+- channel text nullable
+- chat_id text nullable
+- seq bigint not null
+- item_type text not null
+- status text nullable
+- title text nullable
+- preview text nullable
+- content text nullable
+- tool_name text nullable
+- tool_call_id text nullable
+- trace_id uuid/text nullable
+- span_id uuid/text nullable
+- metadata json/jsonb nullable
+- created_at timestamp not null
+```
+
+Index:
+- `(tenant_id, run_id, seq)`
+- `(tenant_id, session_key, created_at desc)`
+- optional `(trace_id)` where supported
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Modify: `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.sql`
+- Modify: `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.go`
+- Modify: `internal/upgrade/version.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write store contract tests first:
+   - append items with explicit sequence.
+   - list by `tenant_id + run_id` ordered by `seq`.
+   - reject cross-tenant reads.
+   - persist preview fields but not full tool JSON.
+2. Write schema migration tests or startup schema assertions for PostgreSQL and SQLite.
+3. Add store interface and DTO structs.
+4. Add PostgreSQL migration and implementation.
+5. Add SQLite full schema and incremental migration. Bump `SchemaVersion`.
+6. Bump `RequiredSchemaVersion` for PostgreSQL.
+7. Confirm migration numbering against current `origin/dev` before implementation.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Store tests fail before implementation and pass after.
+- [ ] Both DB backends expose the same timeline item fields.
+- [ ] Sequence order is deterministic and not timestamp-dependent.
+- [ ] Tool args/results have preview fields only in Phase 1.
+- [ ] SQLite and PostgreSQL schema versions are both updated.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add failing PostgreSQL store tests.
+- [ ] Add failing SQLite store tests.
+- [ ] Define store interface and DTOs.
+- [ ] Add PostgreSQL migration.
+- [ ] Add SQLite full schema and incremental migration.
+- [ ] Bump both schema version choke points.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Main risk: schema drift between Standard and Lite. Mitigation: add both migrations in the same phase and compile/test `-tags sqliteonly`.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Timeline rows are tenant-scoped product data. All store list queries must include tenant scope. Phase 1 must not persist full tool argument/result JSON.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Proceed to Phase 2 only after both DB backends pass contract tests.

+- Event enrichment: `internal/agent/loop_run.go`
+- Tool events: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_tool_callbacks.go`
+- Block replies: `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go`
+- Final/block reply dedup reference: `internal/pipeline/observe_stage.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Persist timeline items from existing agent events without changing delivery behavior. This is an event capture layer, not a new chat behavior engine.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- The shared enriched emitter boundary already carries run, user, channel, chat, session, and tenant context.
+- Parallel tool calls can emit from goroutines, so `seq` must be assigned before async persistence.
+- `block.reply` already excludes final answers; this helps avoid final duplicate archive items.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: capture `run.started`, `activity`, `block.reply`, `tool.call`, `tool.result`, `run.completed`, `run.failed`, `run.cancelled`.
+- Functional: link tool timeline items to trace/span IDs where the current code can provide them without invasive rewrites.
+- Functional: store final answer once; avoid duplicating the last `block.reply` as final answer.
+- Non-functional: best-effort persistence must not block agent execution if DB write fails.
+- Non-functional: preserve tenant/session/user/channel context already attached in `AgentEvent`.

+Introduce a small timeline recorder owned by the agent loop. It receives enriched `AgentEvent` values from the same emitter boundary used by live WS/channel broadcast.
+
+Ordering:
+- Maintain per-run atomic sequence counter in the loop/request scope.
+- Assign `seq` before async persistence.
+- For parallel tool calls, sequence reflects event emission order, not completion timestamp.
+
+Privacy:
+- `tool.call`: title/tool name + safe args preview. No full arguments.
+- `tool.result`: status + safe result preview. No full result.
+- `thinking`: redacted `activity` marker only.
+- `block.reply` and final answer: content stored because user-visible.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Create: `internal/agent/run_timeline_recorder.go`
+- Create: `internal/agent/run_timeline_recorder_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_types.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_run.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_callbacks.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_tool_callbacks.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_tracing.go` only if span ID linkage can be added narrowly.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write recorder unit tests first:
+   - event to item mapping.
+   - preview truncation and redaction.
+   - no raw thinking.
+   - final answer dedup when same as last block reply.
+   - tool error status mapping.
+2. Add a `RunTimelineStore` dependency to loop config/wiring.
+3. Add recorder creation in `Loop.Run` after run context is known.
+4. Wrap `emitRun` so each relevant event is recorded and then emitted live.
+5. Keep recorder DB writes best-effort with bounded timeout/logging.
+6. Add tests for sequential and parallel tool event ordering.
+7. Verify no #67 behavior changes: no ack, no message splitting, no channel delivery toggles.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Every supported event type maps to exactly one timeline item shape.
+- [ ] Tool args/results are persisted as previews only.
+- [ ] Final answer is not duplicated after a matching block reply.
+- [ ] Recorder failures do not fail the agent run.
+- [ ] Parallel tool call and result events stay ordered by assigned `seq`.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add recorder mapper tests.
+- [ ] Add privacy/redaction tests.
+- [ ] Add sequence ordering tests.
+- [ ] Wire store dependency into loop config.
+- [ ] Wrap enriched event emitter with recorder.
+- [ ] Add best-effort persistence timeout/logging.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Main risk: recording at too many call sites creates inconsistent item shapes. Mitigation: record at the shared enriched emitter boundary and keep payload normalization centralized.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Use the same sanitizer/redaction approach across tool call and result previews. Never persist raw thinking. Log recorder failures without dumping payloads.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Proceed to Phase 3 after recorder tests prove stable event-to-item mapping.

+
+# Phase 3: HTTP and WS Timeline APIs
+
+## Context Links
+
+- HTTP trace permissions reference: `internal/http/traces.go`
+- WS chat methods reference: `internal/gateway/methods/chat.go`
+- API docs: `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- WS docs: `docs/19-websocket-rpc.md`
+
+## Overview
+
+Expose Phase 1 archive timeline through both HTTP and WebSocket RPC. User decision: both APIs are in scope for Phase 1.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- HTTP is useful for direct UI fetch and future export.
+- WS RPC keeps parity with existing dashboard control-plane patterns.
+- Both paths must use one DTO mapper to avoid response drift.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: HTTP endpoint returns timeline by run ID.
+- Functional: WS RPC returns the same DTO by run ID.
+- Functional: support optional session key guard when provided.
+- Functional: enforce tenant/user permissions; non-admin users can only access their own run/session timeline.
+- Functional: include trace ID/span ID references for admin debug, but not full trace content.
+- Non-functional: response shape must be stable for web UI and future exports.
+
+## Architecture
+
+HTTP route recommendation:
+
+```text
+GET /v1/runs/{runID}/timeline?session_key=<optional>
+```
+
+WS method recommendation:
+
+```text
+run.timeline.get
+params: { runId: string, sessionKey?: string }
+response: { runId, sessionKey, items: RunTimelineItem[] }
+```
+
+DTO should be shared between HTTP and WS methods to avoid drift.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Create: `internal/http/run_timeline.go`
+- Create: `internal/http/run_timeline_test.go`
+- Create: `internal/gateway/methods/run_timeline.go`
+- Create: `internal/gateway/methods/run_timeline_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/http/server.go` or route registration file
+- Modify: `internal/gateway/methods/registry.go` or method registration file
+- Modify: `pkg/protocol` only if method constants live there
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/api/protocol.ts`
+- Modify: `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- Modify: `docs/19-websocket-rpc.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write HTTP auth/permission tests first:
+   - admin can read tenant run timeline.
+   - owner/user can read own run timeline.
+   - other user receives not found/forbidden without leaking existence.
+   - invalid run ID returns localized bad request.
+2. Write WS RPC tests with equivalent permission cases.
+3. Add shared response DTO and mapper.
+4. Register HTTP route.
+5. Register WS method.
+6. Add docs for both APIs.
+7. Confirm endpoint names do not conflict with existing `/v1/traces` routes.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] HTTP and WS return identical timeline item fields.
+- [ ] Permission tests cover admin, owner, and unrelated user.
+- [ ] Trace/span links are IDs only.
+- [ ] API docs include request and response examples.
+- [ ] No public share or export API is introduced in Phase 1.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add HTTP permission tests.
+- [ ] Add WS permission tests.
+- [ ] Add shared DTO mapper.
+- [ ] Register HTTP route.
+- [ ] Register WS method.
+- [ ] Update HTTP and WS docs.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Main risk: leaking run existence across tenants/users. Mitigation: scope all queries by tenant and session/user where available, and mirror trace handler non-admin behavior.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Return not found for cross-tenant or unauthorized access when possible. Do not include full trace/span payloads, only IDs.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Proceed to Phase 4 after API parity tests pass.

+# Phase 4: Session Archive UI
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Live chat event handling: `ui/web/src/pages/chat/hooks/use-chat-messages.ts`
+- Tool card reference: `ui/web/src/components/chat/tool-call-card.tsx`
+- Session detail page: `ui/web/src/pages/sessions/session-detail-page.tsx`
+- Trace detail page: `ui/web/src/pages/traces/trace-detail-dialog.tsx`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add the Phase 1 archive UI under session detail as the recommended first surface. Trace pages link out for admin/debug, but the primary user journey is reviewing a session run archive.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Session detail is the right Phase 1 home because users review archived conversations there.
+- Trace detail is a secondary admin/debug path, not the primary archive UX.
+- Current `ToolCallCard` can leak full args/results on expand, so archive UI needs preview-only rendering.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: session detail shows available runs for the session and opens a Claude-like timeline.
+- Functional: render assistant messages, activity markers, combined tool cards, and final status in strict order.
+- Functional: tool cards collapsed by default and show preview only.
+- Functional: admin/debug users see trace/span links when available.
+- Non-functional: mobile-friendly, no nested cards, no raw args/results expansion in Phase 1.
+- Non-functional: preserve current live chat UI behavior.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Recommended UI placement:
+- Primary: `ui/web/src/pages/sessions/session-detail-page.tsx`
+- Add a run archive drawer/panel or route-scoped section from session detail.
+- Use current `ToolCallCard` patterns but create archive-safe component that never displays full raw JSON in Phase 1.
+- Trace detail may include a "View archive timeline" link if `run_id` exists.
+
+Why this recommendation:
+- Users looking at old work start from sessions, not traces.
+- Trace detail is developer/admin diagnostic UI.
+- Public share page belongs to later phase after privacy model is proven.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Create: `ui/web/src/types/run-timeline.ts`
+- Create: `ui/web/src/pages/sessions/run-timeline-panel.tsx`
+- Create: `ui/web/src/pages/sessions/run-timeline-item.tsx`

+- Modify: `ui/web/src/api/protocol.ts`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/sessions.json`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write component tests first:
+   - assistant intermediate and final messages render in order.
+   - tool call/result combine into one collapsed card by `tool_call_id`.
+   - preview appears; raw args/results do not.
+   - trace link appears only when item has trace/span IDs and user can see debug affordance.
+   - mobile layout does not depend on fixed wide columns.
+2. Add API hook using HTTP fetch first; use WS RPC only where current page pattern prefers WS.
+3. Add run selector/list in session detail using existing session/run data where possible.
+4. Add timeline panel/drawer.
+5. Add trace detail link to timeline when `run_id` and `session_key` exist.
+6. Add i18n keys in all three locale files before wiring UI text.
+7. Verify no current chat live event rendering regresses.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Session detail can open an archive timeline for a run.
+- [ ] Timeline order matches backend `seq`.
+- [ ] Tool previews are collapsed and safe by default.
+- [ ] Trace/span links are available for admin/debug users.
+- [ ] UI works on mobile widths without horizontal overflow.
+- [ ] Existing live chat `ActiveRunZone` still behaves unchanged.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add timeline TS types.
+- [ ] Add timeline fetch hook.
+- [ ] Add archive-safe timeline item component.
+- [ ] Add session detail panel/drawer entry.
+- [ ] Add trace detail link.
+- [ ] Add i18n keys for en/vi/zh.
+- [ ] Add component tests.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Main risk: reusing live `ToolCallCard` leaks raw arguments/results. Mitigation: introduce archive-safe rendering that accepts preview fields only.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Do not render raw payload fields in Phase 1. Treat trace links as debug affordances and hide them when permission data is unavailable.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Proceed to Phase 5 after UI tests and manual mobile review pass.

+- Plan overview: `plans/260528-1804-archived-run-timeline/plan.md`
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#76`
+- Related issue boundary: `digitopvn/goclaw#67`
+
+## Overview
+
+Run compile/test gates, verify issue #76 acceptance criteria, and update the GitHub issue with the final implementation summary.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- This is a cross-surface feature: store, agent loop, HTTP, WS, and UI all need verification.
+- Lite/SQLite must be explicitly checked because schema drift can break desktop startup.
+- #67 behavior must remain absent.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: verify backend persistence, HTTP API, WS RPC, and web UI behavior.
+- Functional: confirm no #67 behavior was implemented accidentally.
+- Non-functional: run both PostgreSQL and SQLite/Lite compile gates.
+- Non-functional: update issue #76 with plan/implementation result and filepath.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Validation focuses on product behavior:
+- timeline stored as product data.
+- trace/span IDs linked for debug only.
+- archive UI under session detail.
+- previews only in Phase 1.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- Modify: `docs/19-websocket-rpc.md`
+- Modify: `docs/project-changelog.md` if implementation lands.
+- Read: `plans/260528-1804-archived-run-timeline/plan.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run focused backend tests:
+   - stores, HTTP handler, WS method, agent recorder.
+2. Run SQLite-specific tests and build.
+3. Run full Go compile/vet gates:
+   - `go build ./...`
+   - `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   - `go vet ./...`
+4. Run web tests/build:
+   - `cd ui/web && pnpm test -- --run`
+   - `cd ui/web && pnpm build`
+5. Run `git diff --check`.
+6. Manually verify a real or fixture run timeline:
+   - block reply appears before tool call/result where emitted.
+   - final answer appears once.
+   - tool preview only.
+   - trace link exists when trace IDs are available.
+7. Reply to GitHub issue #76 with summary, validation results, and plan/implementation filepath.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] All planned acceptance criteria are checked against tests or manual verification.
+- [x] Both HTTP and WS API paths are verified.
+- [x] No quick ack or message splitting behavior from #67 is present.
+- [x] GitHub issue #76 has a concise update with filepath.
+- [x] Any unresolved questions are listed at the end.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Run focused backend tests.
+- [x] Run SQLite/Lite tests and build.
+- [x] Run Go build/vet gates.
+- [x] Run web tests/build.
+- [x] Run `git diff --check`.
+- [x] Manually verify timeline behavior.
+- [x] Reply to issue #76.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Main risk: validation misses Lite/SQLite regression. Mitigation: treat `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...` and SQLite store tests as blocking.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Validation must include permission boundary tests and preview-only assertions. Do not paste sensitive tool payloads into GitHub issue updates.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After implementation validation, ship via normal branch/PR flow and update issue #76 with commit/PR references.

+# Archived Interleaved Run Timeline
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement `digitopvn/goclaw#76`: persist assistant intermediate messages, tool calls, tool results, activity markers, and final run status as an ordered archive timeline. Phase 1 exposes both HTTP and WS RPC fetch APIs, stores safe previews only, and links to traces/spans for admin debug.
+
+Recommended Phase 1 UI: add the archive inside session detail first, with a per-run timeline panel/drawer and trace links for admin/debug. This is closest to user intent ("what happened in this run?") and avoids building a public share surface before the archive contract is proven.
+
+Hard boundary with related issue `#67`: this plan does not add quick acknowledgement, multi-message final splitting, channel spam controls, or delivery heuristics. It archives existing structured events; #67 can later reuse the same timeline model for live/channel behavior.
+
+## Current Code Context
+
+- Runtime event enrichment: `internal/agent/loop_run.go`
+- Tool events: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_tool_callbacks.go`
+- Intermediate assistant content: `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go`, `internal/pipeline/observe_stage.go`
+- Existing trace product data: `internal/store/tracing_store.go`, `internal/http/traces.go`
+- Existing session messages: `sessions.messages` JSONB in `migrations/000001_init_schema.up.sql`
+- Existing live UI event handling: `ui/web/src/pages/chat/hooks/use-chat-messages.ts`
+- Existing tool card UI: `ui/web/src/components/chat/tool-call-card.tsx`
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [TDD Contract and Schema](./phase-01-tdd-contract-and-schema.md) | Complete |

+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#76`
+- Related non-overlap issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#67`
+- No blocking plan found. Existing pending issue #80 plan targets skills export UI and does not overlap this feature.
+
+## Data Contract Target
+
+Timeline item kinds:
+- `activity`
+- `assistant.message`
+- `tool.call`
+- `tool.result`
+- `run.status`
+
+Storage rule:
+- Store previews only for tool args/results in Phase 1.
+- Store assistant `block.reply` and final answer content because they are user-visible.
+- Store `thinking` as redacted marker only; do not persist raw reasoning.
+- Link to trace/span IDs when available for admin debug.
+
+## Validation Commands
+
+Run focused tests first, then full compile gates:
+
+```bash
+go test ./internal/store/pg ./internal/store/sqlitestore ./internal/http ./internal/gateway/methods ./internal/agent ./internal/pipeline
+go test -tags sqliteonly ./internal/store/sqlitestore ./internal/gateway/methods

+go build -tags sqliteonly ./...
+go vet ./...
+cd ui/web && pnpm test -- --run
+cd ui/web && pnpm build

 ## 2026-05-29
 
+### Group chat context in agent prompts
+
+**Features**
+
+- Added `## Current Chat Context` to agent system prompts for channel runs. Group chats now show platform, chat type, optional group name, group ID, and sender identity when metadata is available.
+- Preserved existing `<current_reply_target>` routing guard and group reply guidance while making the human-readable chat context explicit.
+- Added best-effort Discord channel title forwarding from the local `discordgo.State` cache. No hot-path REST lookup or schema change.
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Normalized WhatsApp `user_name` metadata into the existing sender-name resolver so WhatsApp group prompts can include sender display names.
+- Sanitized group titles and sender display names before prompt rendering to strip quotes/control whitespace and cap length.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added prompt contract coverage for group title, missing title, direct chats, and prompt-injection-shaped metadata.
+- Added Discord cached-channel-title and sender-name resolver coverage.

+# Phase 1: TDD Prompt Contract
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Plan: `plans/260528-1807-group-chat-context-system-prompt/plan.md`
+- Issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#70`
+- Prompt builder: `internal/agent/systemprompt.go`
+- Prompt tests: `internal/agent/systemprompt_*_test.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Define and lock expected prompt output before implementation. Prove exact block shape for group, direct, missing-title, and injection-shaped metadata cases.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Existing prompt already has `ChatTitle`, `ChatID`, and `PeerKind`.
+- Data is split between an identity sentence and `<current_reply_target>`.
+- User approved a clear block format, not just extending `<current_reply_target>`.
+- Group title is admin-controlled input. Sanitize before prompt output.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: failing tests for `## Current Chat Context`.
+- Functional: group prompt includes platform, chat type, group name when known, group ID, user display/name and sender ID.
+- Functional: direct prompt does not expose group fields.
+- Non-functional: no channel or DB changes in this phase.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Test `BuildSystemPrompt(SystemPromptConfig)` directly with small string assertions.
+
+Expected group block:
+
+```text
+## Current Chat Context
+- Platform: telegram
+- Chat type: Group
+- Group name: GoClaw Contributors
+- Group ID: -1001234567890
+- User: Alice (ID: 123456)
+```
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/agent/systemprompt.go` only if compile requires new config field.
+- Modify or create: `internal/agent/systemprompt_chat_context_test.go`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add failing test for group prompt with title and sender display name.
+2. Add failing test for group prompt without title; assert no `Group name:` line.
+3. Add failing test for direct chat; assert no `Group ID` or `Group name`.
+4. Add failing test for sanitization: newlines and quotes in title/user name stripped/replaced and capped.
+5. Keep assertions on relevant block lines, not full prompt.
+
+## Tests Before

+- `go test ./internal/agent -run 'ChatContext|CurrentChatContext'`
+- Expected before implementation: fail because block does not exist.
+
+## Refactor
+
+- None except adding minimal config field if tests need it.
+
+## Tests After
+
+- Same targeted tests still fail until Phase 3 implements renderer.
+- No unrelated test rewrites.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Add prompt contract tests.
+- [x] Verify tests fail for missing block.
+- [x] Document exact expected block in test names.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Failing tests cover group with title, group without title, direct chat, sanitization.
+- [x] Test names describe scenario, not plan labels.
+- [x] No implementation logic added before failing tests exist.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: brittle full-prompt tests. Mitigation: assert only relevant block lines.
+- Risk: user name not available in config. Mitigation: add optional `SenderName` in Phase 3.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Treat group name and user display name as untrusted prompt content.
+- Sanitize newline, carriage return, quotes, and long text.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 2 normalizes channel metadata so prompt input has best-effort group names.

+# Phase 2: Channel Metadata Normalization
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Metadata key: `internal/tools/team_metadata_keys.go`
+- Consumer mapping: `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go`
+- Telegram: `internal/channels/telegram/handlers.go`
+- Discord: `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+- Feishu/Lark: `internal/channels/feishu/bot.go`
+- Slack: `internal/channels/slack/handlers.go`, `internal/channels/slack/handlers_mention.go`
+- WhatsApp: `internal/channels/whatsapp/inbound.go`
+- Zalo Personal: `internal/channels/zalo/personal/handlers.go`
+- Bitrix24: `internal/channels/bitrix24/handle.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Normalize best-effort group metadata from all group-capable channels into existing metadata flow. No schema. No fake group names when platform data is unavailable.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Telegram already sets `tools.MetaChatTitle`.
+- `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go` already maps `MetaChatTitle` into `RunRequest.ChatTitle`.
+- Discord/Slack have channel IDs today; channel name may need existing cache/context.
+- Zalo Personal already sets `group_id`; Bitrix24 group ID is `DialogID`; WhatsApp group ID is group JID.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: all group-capable adapters preserve group ID through `ChatID`.
+- Functional: adapters set `tools.MetaChatTitle` when they already know group/channel display name.
+- Functional: user display name still flows through existing `SenderName` resolution.
+- Non-functional: no DB migration, no extra hot-path network call only for prompt title.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Normalize into current run fields:
+
+| Prompt Field | Source |
+|---|---|
+| Platform | `RunRequest.ChannelType`, fallback `Channel` |
+| Chat type | `RunRequest.PeerKind` |
+| Group ID | `RunRequest.ChatID` |
+| Group name | `RunRequest.ChatTitle` from `tools.MetaChatTitle` |
+| User | `RunRequest.SenderName` and `RunRequest.SenderID` |
+
+Adapters only populate `tools.MetaChatTitle` where known. Missing title is acceptable.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/*` group handlers as needed.
+- Modify: existing channel tests listed above.
+- Do not modify: migrations, store interfaces, session key builders.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Audit each group-capable channel for current group title/name availability.
+2. Add tests first for metadata forwarding where title is already available.
+3. Telegram: keep existing `MetaChatTitle`; add/adjust test to lock behavior.
+4. Discord/Slack/Feishu/WhatsApp/Zalo: set `MetaChatTitle` only if handler already has name or cheap cached lookup.
+5. Bitrix24: rely on `ChatID`; do not add portal API lookup for group name.
+6. Keep topic/thread metadata unchanged.
+
+## Tests Before
+
+- Adapter tests fail for channels with available group name but missing `MetaChatTitle`.
+- `go test ./internal/channels/telegram ./internal/channels/discord ./internal/channels/feishu ./internal/channels/slack ./internal/channels/whatsapp ./internal/channels/zalo/... ./internal/channels/bitrix24`
+
+## Refactor
+
+- Prefer reusing `channels.SanitizeDisplayName`.
+- Add a tiny helper only if two or more adapters duplicate sanitation.
+
+## Tests After
+
+- Channel unit tests pass.
+- Existing routing/thread tests still pass.
+- No tests require live platform APIs.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Lock Telegram title forwarding.
+- [x] Add best-effort title tests where available.
+- [x] Document unavailable-title platforms in completion notes.
+- [x] Ensure Bitrix24 group ID remains `ChatID`.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Every group-capable channel preserves group ID via `ChatID`.
+- [x] Every channel with known group name sets `tools.MetaChatTitle`.
+- [x] No new schema or session-key format.
+- [x] No hot-path title enrichment API calls.
+
+## Completion Notes
+
+- Telegram already forwards `tools.MetaChatTitle` from `message.Chat.Title`.
+- Discord now forwards cached channel name from `discordgo.State` when present; no REST lookup added.
+- WhatsApp sender display name now flows through `user_name` in `resolveSenderName`.
+- Feishu/Lark, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo Personal, and Bitrix24 keep group ID through `ChatID`; their inbound payloads do not provide a group display name in the current hot path, so `Group name` remains optional.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: chasing names causes API/cache scope creep. Mitigation: group name optional.
+- Risk: inconsistent platform naming. Mitigation: renderer uses channel type label; metadata supplies only title.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Metadata remains untrusted. Prompt renderer sanitizes again.
+- Do not log full message content while adding tests.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 3 renders the prompt block using normalized metadata and run request fields.

+# Phase 3: Prompt Rendering Integration
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Prompt config: `internal/agent/systemprompt.go`
+- Loop message builder: `internal/agent/loop_history.go`
+- Bridge prompt builder: `internal/agent/prompt_builder_impl.go`
+- Prompt config types: `internal/agent/prompt_config_types.go`
+- Consumer run request: `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add explicit `## Current Chat Context` renderer and wire sender display name through prompt config. Preserve existing identity sentence, `<current_reply_target>`, group reply hint, and channel formatting hints.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- `RunRequest.SenderName` already exists and is populated by `resolveSenderName(msg)`.
+- `BuildSystemPrompt` receives `SenderID` but not sender display name.
+- Chat context belongs in early dynamic identity prompt content.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: render approved block format.
+- Functional: include group fields only for `PeerKind == "group"`.
+- Functional: direct chat never shows group name or group ID.
+- Non-functional: small helper, no template engine, no unrelated prompt reordering.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add optional field:
+
+```go
+type SystemPromptConfig struct {
+    SenderName string
+}
+```
+
+Wire:
+
+```text
+RunRequest.SenderName
+  -> buildMessages(...)
+  -> SystemPromptConfig.SenderName
+  -> buildCurrentChatContext(cfg)
+```
+
+Renderer rules:
+
+- Platform: `ChannelType` fallback `Channel`.
+- Chat type: `Group` for `PeerKind == "group"`, else `Direct`.
+- Group name: sanitized `ChatTitle`, only if non-empty and group.
+- Group ID: `ChatID`, only if non-empty and group.
+- User: prefer sanitized `SenderName`; include `(ID: SenderID)` when `SenderID` non-empty.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/agent/systemprompt.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_history.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/prompt_config_types.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/prompt_builder_impl.go`
+- Modify tests from Phase 1.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add `SenderName` to `SystemPromptConfig` and `IdentityData`.
+2. Pass `SenderName` from `buildMessages` into `BuildSystemPrompt`.
+3. Update `BridgePromptBuilder` to preserve field compatibility.
+4. Implement `sanitizePromptContextValue` helper near existing identity logic.
+5. Implement `buildCurrentChatContext(cfg)`.
+6. Insert block after opening identity sentence and before `<current_reply_target>`.
+7. Run prompt tests and adjust only if tests contradict approved format.
+
+## Tests Before
+
+- Phase 1 prompt tests fail.
+
+## Refactor
+
+- Extract existing title sanitation to avoid duplicate inline logic.
+- Keep helper private to `systemprompt.go`.
+
+## Tests After
+
+- `go test ./internal/agent`
+- `go test ./cmd`
+- `go test ./internal/pipeline` if bridge tests require it.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Add `SenderName` config field.
+- [x] Render block.
+- [x] Preserve `<current_reply_target>`.
+- [x] Preserve group reply hint.
+- [x] Update bridge prompt tests if needed.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Prompt block matches approved format for group chats.
+- [x] Existing prompt sections still present.
+- [x] No provider-specific prompt regressions.
+- [x] Direct chat behavior covered and intentional.
+
+## Review Fixes
+
+- Moved `## Current Chat Context` below `CacheBoundaryMarker` because sender identity is per-turn metadata.
+- Added explicit untrusted-metadata wording so group titles and sender names are context only, never instructions.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: token bloat. Mitigation: 4-5 short lines only.
+- Risk: duplicate data with `<current_reply_target>`. Mitigation: block is human-readable; XML target remains routing guard.
+- Risk: sender display unavailable. Mitigation: show user ID if name empty.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Sanitize in renderer, not only adapters.
+- Do not mention group-specific rules/memory; not implemented.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 4 verifies build/test and publishes issue handoff.

+
+## Overview
+
+Validate the prompt-only implementation, update issue handoff, and keep docs impact explicit. Current planning task also comments issue #70 with plan summary.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Later code implementation must compile and run focused tests.
+- Current user request: create worktree + branch, create plan, commit+push, reply issue with summary and filepath.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: focused tests pass for prompt and changed channel adapters.
+- Functional: build passes after implementation.
+- Functional: GitHub issue receives plan summary and path.
+- Non-functional: no secret files staged; no unrelated staged files from main checkout.

+```
+
+Issue comment includes:

+- Phase list
+- Test gates
+- Branch link
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `docs/project-changelog.md` only during implementation if code lands.
+- No code file modified by planning-only commit.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. For current planning task: commit plan files only on `codex/issue-70-group-context-plan`.
+2. Push branch.
+3. Comment `digitopvn/goclaw#70` with plan summary and filepath.
+4. For later implementation: run focused tests after each phase.
+5. Before implementation PR: run `go build ./...`; consider `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...` because prompt code affects desktop.
+6. Update changelog after implementation, not for planning-only commit unless repo convention requires it.
+
+## Tests Before
+
+- Not applicable to planning-only commit.
+- Later implementation starts with failing prompt contract tests from Phase 1.
+
+## Refactor
+
+- None. This phase validates and hands off.
+
+## Tests After
+
+- Planning-only: `git diff --check`, `git status --short`, staged diff secret scan.
+- Later implementation: `go test ./internal/agent ./cmd ./internal/channels/...`, `go build ./...`.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [x] Commit implementation phases.
+- [x] Run focused tests and compile checks.
+- [x] Run code review and fix findings.
+- [x] Record unresolved questions, if any.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Branch contains scoped implementation artifacts for issue #70.
+- [x] Issue #70 ready for implementation result comment after PR creation.
+- [x] Plan executed phase-by-phase with commits.
+- [x] Unresolved questions section says none.
+
+## Validation Results
+
+- `go test ./internal/agent ./cmd ./internal/channels/...`: pass.
+- `go build ./...`: pass.
+- `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`: pass.
+- `go vet ./...`: pass.
+
+## Review Results
+
+- Code review found prompt-cache placement and untrusted metadata wording issues.
+- Both fixed before PR handoff.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: dirty main checkout stages unrelated files. Mitigation: use isolated worktree and explicit path staging.
+- Risk: issue comment overpromises implementation. Mitigation: call it approved implementation plan, not completed feature.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Run staged diff secret scan before commit.
+- Do not include env values, tokens, or private webhook payloads in issue comment.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Recommended next command after planning: `/ck:cook /Users/duynguyen/.codex/worktrees/issue-70-group-context-plan/plans/260528-1807-group-chat-context-system-prompt/plan.md`
+

+# Group Chat Context System Prompt
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement `digitopvn/goclaw#70`: when an agent handles a group chat message, system prompt includes a clear current chat context block with platform, chat type, group name when known, group ID, and sender identity.
+
+Scope is prompt-only. No group-specific memory, rules engine, DB schema, session-key, or workspace behavior changes.
+
+## Current Code Context
+
+- Prompt input shape: `internal/agent/systemprompt.go` (`SystemPromptConfig.ChatID`, `ChatTitle`, `PeerKind`, `SenderID`)
+- Prompt assembly: `internal/agent/systemprompt.go` (`BuildSystemPrompt`)
+- Loop wiring: `internal/agent/loop_history.go`
+- Inbound consumer: `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go`
+- Metadata key: `internal/tools/team_metadata_keys.go` (`MetaChatTitle`)
+- Group-capable channels: Telegram, Discord, Feishu/Lark, Slack, WhatsApp, Zalo Personal, Bitrix24
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [TDD Prompt Contract](./phase-01-tdd-prompt-contract.md) | Complete |
+| 2 | [Channel Metadata Normalization](./phase-02-channel-metadata-normalization.md) | Complete |
+| 3 | [Prompt Rendering Integration](./phase-03-prompt-rendering-integration.md) | Complete |
+| 4 | [Validation and Issue Handoff](./phase-04-validation-and-issue-handoff.md) | Complete |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#70`
+- No blocking plan found in this worktree.
+- Preserve existing `<current_reply_target>` behavior and group reply hints.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Group prompt contains `## Current Chat Context`.
+- Group prompt includes platform, `Chat type: Group`, group ID, and user identity.
+- Group name is included only when known after sanitization.
+- DM prompt does not include group name or group ID.
+- All group-capable channel adapters forward best-effort normalized group metadata without adding DB schema.
+- `go test ./internal/agent ./cmd ./internal/channels/...` and `go build ./...` pass before implementation PR.

Subject: [PATCH 038/105] feat(channels): add context capability admin surface

Squash merge PR #115 after resolving changelog and SQLite migration-map conflicts with current dev. Renumbered channel-context PostgreSQL migration to 000075 and bumped PG required schema to 75 plus SQLite schema to 44 so it follows the run timeline migration. Local checks passed: go test ./..., go build ./..., go build -tags sqliteonly ./..., go vet ./..., and pnpm -C ui/web build. PR CI run 26705617311 passed release-versioning, go, and web.

+## Channel context capabilities
+
+Channel instances expose stored contexts in the dashboard and API. The base
+context is the channel instance itself; group contexts come from stored channel
+contacts. Capability rows combine MCP and Secure CLI visibility for that
+context, including source, enabled state, tool allow/deny lists, and credential
+presence.
+
+Context credential rows never return secret material. They only project
+metadata such as `has_api_key`, `has_env`, `credential_source`, and key names
+where available. Writes are tenant-admin gated, and runtime resolution carries
+`ChannelContextScope` so grants and credentials are applied only to matching
+channel/group scope.

 ## 2026-05-29
 
+### Channel context admin surface (issue #66)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added channel context APIs under `/v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts` for stored channel/group contexts, members, and effective MCP/Secure CLI capability matrix.
+- Added tenant-scoped context grants and context credentials for MCP servers and Secure CLI binaries, with PostgreSQL migration `000075` and SQLite schema version `44`.
+- Runtime tool execution now carries `ChannelContextScope`; MCP and Secure CLI resolution apply context grants/credentials before user credential overrides.
+- Web dashboard channel detail page now has a `Contexts` tab showing contexts, stored members, effective granted tools, and scoped credential presence without exposing secret values.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Context capability write APIs use tenant-admin checks.
+- Credential APIs return presence/metadata only; raw MCP API keys, headers/env values, and Secure CLI env values are never serialized.
+- MCP grant-check cache key includes channel scope so scoped grants do not leak across channel contexts.

+- Docs: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`, `docs/23-ai-agent-permission-matrix.md`, `docs/09-security.md`
+
+## Overview
+
+Lock the API contracts and threat model before implementation. This phase should produce failing tests or contract snapshots for the expected DTOs, plus a concise scope note that separates channel login credentials from MCP/CLI scoped credentials.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Existing `groups` tab is Telegram config overrides, not a general group/member view.
+- Existing channel credentials are encrypted channel-login data; they must not become MCP/CLI runtime credentials.
+- MCP access currently resolves server defaults + per-user credentials only.
+- Secure CLI access currently resolves global binary + agent grant + user credential only.
+- `agent_config_permissions` is for config/file-writer grants and should not be stretched into MCP/CLI grant storage.
+- Discord currently captures guild/channel metadata but does not expose full live members/roles without extra intent work.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Define canonical context scope model for `channel`, `group`, and `member` rows.
+- Define masked credential DTOs that never include raw secret values.
+- Define source labels for effective capability and credential rows: global, agent, channel, group, user.
+- Define permission requirements for read vs write endpoints.
+- Document resolver precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Add HTTP DTOs near existing channel/admin route files; keep store structs separate from UI response structs.
+- Keep MCP and Secure CLI resolver changes behind explicit scope inputs instead of reading mutable process-global state.
+- Represent channel context with stable fields: `channelInstanceID`, `channelType`, `scopeType`, `scopeKey`, `displayName`, `source`, `lastSeenAt`.
+- Treat Discord role/member support as a provider capability flag until verified.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify later: `internal/http/channel_instances.go`
+- Modify later: `internal/store/channel_contact_store.go`
+- Modify later: `internal/store/mcp_store.go`
+- Modify later: `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go`
+- Modify later: `ui/web/src/types/channel.ts`
+- Modify later: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/*`
+- Create later only if needed: focused DTO/test files with kebab-case or existing Go naming convention.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Write failing backend tests for channel context DTO masking and tenant-scoped route authorization.
+2. Write failing resolver contract tests that encode credential precedence without creating new tables yet.
+3. Add a short issue-scope note in this plan directory if implementation discovers a contract gap.
+4. Verify all planned endpoint names against existing route structure before coding handlers.
+5. Verify current UI route/i18n conventions before adding visible strings.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add backend contract tests for context list shape and permission checks.
+- [ ] Add resolver precedence characterization tests for MCP and Secure CLI.
+- [ ] Confirm UI i18n key placement for new channel detail tabs.
+- [ ] Confirm Discord provider capability and permissions needed for live member/role sync.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Tests fail for the intended missing behavior before implementation.
+- [ ] Contract fields and precedence rules are explicit and cited in later phase code.
+- [ ] No plan step relies on raw credential reveal.
+- [ ] No plan step reuses `channel_instances.credentials` for MCP/CLI secrets.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: resolver scope leaks across tenants. Mitigation: tenant ID on every new table/query and route-level tenant checks.
+- Risk: UI implies Discord support that backend cannot provide. Mitigation: capability flags and documented fallback.
+- Risk: scope strings become ad hoc. Mitigation: typed scope model plus tests.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Never serialize raw secrets.
+- Audit all write operations in later phases.
+- Use existing encrypted storage patterns and parameterized SQL only.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Proceed to Phase 2 after route/DTO tests are committed or queued in the implementation branch.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None for planning; Discord depth remains a phase gate.

+# Phase 2: Read-only Context Surface
+
+## Context Links
+
+- UI shell: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/channel-detail-page.tsx`
+- Current hooks: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/hooks/use-channel-detail.ts`
+- Channel contacts: `internal/store/channel_contact_store.go`, `internal/store/pg/channel_contacts.go`
+- Live members abstraction: `internal/channels/channel.go`, `internal/channels/manager.go`
+- Feishu member implementation: `internal/channels/feishu/feishu.go`
+- Discord metadata source: `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add a read-only admin view for channel contexts and members/users. This should make the channel detail page useful before introducing new grant or credential mutations.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Show channel contexts/groups discovered from contacts and supported provider APIs.
+- Show members/users for a selected context when available.
+- Show source and freshness: stored contact, live provider, config writer scope, or unsupported.
+- Preserve existing Telegram override editing until it is intentionally replaced or renamed.
+- Enforce tenant isolation and admin/operator read permissions.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Add a channel context service that aggregates stored contacts plus provider-supported group/member APIs.
+- Add HTTP endpoints under existing channel instance routes:
+  - `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts`
+  - `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts/{scopeType}/{scopeKey}/members`
+- Extend channel contact store filters to support channel instance and context filters.
+- UI adds a general `Contexts` tab for all channel types and keeps Telegram overrides as a separate advanced section if still needed.

+- `ui/web/src/pages/channels/hooks/use-channel-detail.ts`
+- `ui/web/src/types/channel.ts`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add backend tests for context listing, member listing, tenant mismatch, and unsupported provider responses.
+2. Add channel-instance filtering to contact store interfaces and PG/SQLite implementations.
+3. Implement read-only context/member HTTP handlers using existing auth middleware and masked DTOs.
+4. Add UI query hooks and type definitions for contexts and members.
+5. Add a general channel detail tab with loading, empty, error, and unsupported states.
+6. Add i18n keys to all web locale files before rendering new user-facing strings.
+7. Keep Telegram override editing intact and avoid changing channel config behavior in this phase.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Backend tests fail first for `/contexts` and `/members`.
+- [ ] Store filters support `channel_instance` without full scans.
+- [ ] UI tests cover tab visibility, empty state, and unsupported provider state.
+- [ ] Existing channel detail behavior remains unchanged for general/credentials/managers tabs.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Admin can see groups/contexts and members/users where data exists.
+- [ ] Unsupported live member sync is explicit in the UI instead of silently blank.
+- [ ] Tenant isolation tests pass for both PG and SQLite paths where applicable.
+- [ ] No mutation endpoints are added in this phase.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: `channel_contacts` has incomplete rows for some providers. Mitigation: label source/freshness and use provider capability flags.
+- Risk: adding filters breaks contact search. Mitigation: preserve existing default list/search behavior with regression tests.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Read endpoints must scope by authenticated tenant and selected channel instance.
+- Do not include provider tokens or channel credentials in responses.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 3 can consume the selected context model to display effective MCP/CLI capability rows.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None.

+- Secure CLI store: `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go`, `internal/store/pg/secure_cli.go`
+- Channel detail UI: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+
+## Overview
+
+Show the effective MCP servers/tools and Secure CLI packages for a channel context before allowing edits. This phase is read-only and should expose why access exists, not just whether access exists.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Display MCP servers with tool allow/deny summaries and source labels.
+- Display Secure CLI packages/binaries with source labels and masked env availability.
+- Show future channel/group override slots as "not configured" until Phase 4/5 tables exist.
+- Keep read endpoint tenant-scoped and usable by admins/operators with appropriate channel access.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Add an effective capability aggregation service that composes existing MCP and Secure CLI store calls.
+- Add endpoint under channel instance routes:
+  - `GET /v1/channels/instances/{id}/contexts/{scopeType}/{scopeKey}/capabilities`
+- Response groups rows by capability type: `mcp_server`, `mcp_tool`, `secure_cli`.
+- Avoid resolver mutation in this phase; this is visibility over existing agent/user/global grants plus planned context placeholder metadata.

+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add backend tests for effective capability response shape using existing agent/user grants.
+2. TDD: add UI tests for capability matrix source labels and masked secret indicators.
+3. Implement a read-only aggregator that calls existing MCP and Secure CLI stores.
+4. Add handler under channel instance route group with tenant/channel authorization.
+5. Add UI matrix with filters for MCP, CLI, and source.
+6. Add i18n keys in all web locale files.
+7. Document that edit controls remain disabled until Phase 4/5.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Backend tests prove source labels for global, agent, and user-derived access.
+- [ ] UI tests cover empty, partial, and mixed MCP/CLI rows.
+- [ ] No new schema is introduced in this phase.
+- [ ] No raw credential values appear in capability responses.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Admin can see granted MCP servers/tools for a selected channel context.
+- [ ] Admin can see granted Secure CLI packages/binaries for a selected channel context.
+- [ ] Source labels are visible and consistent with resolver precedence.
+- [ ] Read-only endpoint has tenant isolation tests.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: read model diverges from actual runtime resolver. Mitigation: use existing store access methods where possible and add characterization tests before later resolver edits.
+- Risk: UI becomes noisy. Mitigation: default grouped display and simple filters.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Mask all environment and credential indicators.
+- Return only metadata required to administer access.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 4 can add mutation tables and update the matrix source labels to include channel/group grants.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None.

+- Upgrade version: `internal/upgrade/version.go`
+- Grant APIs: `internal/http/mcp_grants.go`, `internal/http/secure_cli_agent_grants.go`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add channel/group scoped grants for MCP and Secure CLI. This is the first write phase and requires dual database migrations, resolver changes, audit logs, and UI mutation controls.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Add dedicated context grant tables; do not overload `agent_config_permissions`.
+- Scope every row by tenant, channel instance, scope type, and scope key.
+- Support grant sources: channel and group/member-role.
+- Preserve existing agent/user grant behavior.
+- Audit create/update/delete operations.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Proposed tables:
+  - `mcp_context_grants`
+  - `secure_cli_context_grants`
+- Common columns: `id`, `tenant_id`, `channel_instance_id`, `scope_type`, `scope_key`, resource ID, allow/deny or config overrides, `granted_by`, timestamps.
+- Add PG migrations and SQLite full schema + incremental migrations in the same implementation PR.
+- Extend resolver input with channel context. Prefer explicit params where call sites already carry channel metadata; use context values only when explicit threading would create broad churn.
+- Runtime grant precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.

+- `internal/http/secure_cli_agent_grants.go`
+- `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add migration tests or store tests that fail until context grant tables exist in PG and SQLite.
+2. TDD: add resolver tests proving group grant overrides channel grant, and user grant overrides both.
+3. Add PG up/down migrations and bump `RequiredSchemaVersion`.
+4. Add SQLite schema and incremental migration map updates with `SchemaVersion` bump.
+5. Add store interfaces and PG/SQLite implementations for context grants.
+6. Extend MCP and Secure CLI resolvers to include context grants without breaking existing call sites.
+7. Add admin-only HTTP endpoints for create/update/delete/list context grants.
+8. Add UI controls to grant/revoke MCP/CLI rows for selected channel context.
+9. Emit security/audit logs on every write.
+10. Run dual DB compile and focused store/resolver tests.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add failing PG and SQLite tests for context grant persistence.
+- [ ] Add failing resolver precedence tests.
+- [ ] Add dual DB migrations and version bumps.
+- [ ] Add audited admin endpoints.
+- [ ] Add UI mutation controls with disabled/loading/error states.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Channel/group scoped grants can be created, listed, updated, and revoked.
+- [ ] Effective capability matrix shows channel/group grant sources.
+- [ ] Existing agent/user MCP and CLI flows keep passing.
+- [ ] PG and SQLite schema versions are both updated.
+- [ ] Audit logs include actor, tenant, channel instance, scope, resource, and action.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: resolver signature churn touches many runtime paths. Mitigation: enumerate all callers before editing and add compile-time failures as guide.
+- Risk: partial migration coverage breaks desktop. Mitigation: SQLite schema update is mandatory in the same phase.
+- Risk: broad grants accidentally cross tenant. Mitigation: tenant in primary queries and route authorization tests.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Admin writes must use tenant admin or master-scope checks according to table ownership.
+- SQL must be parameterized and indexed on tenant/channel/scope/resource columns.
+- Never log secret material from overrides.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 5 adds scoped credential storage after grant resolver behavior is stable.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Decide exact DB constraint names during implementation after checking existing migration naming style.

+- Encryption patterns: `internal/crypto/`, existing encrypted store columns
+- Security docs: `docs/09-security.md`, `docs/20-api-keys-auth.md`
+
+## Overview
+
+Add channel/group scoped credential overrides for MCP and Secure CLI. This phase must be stricter than grants because it stores encrypted secrets and changes runtime credential resolution.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Store MCP and CLI context credentials in dedicated encrypted tables.
+- Never return raw secret values through list/detail endpoints.
+- Support create/update/delete with audit logs.
+- Apply precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.
+- Clearly label whether a capability is using global, agent, channel, group, or user credentials.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Proposed tables:
+  - `mcp_context_credentials`
+  - `secure_cli_context_credentials`
+- Scope columns match Phase 4 grant tables.
+- MCP credential payload follows current per-user model: API key, headers, env.
+- Secure CLI credential payload follows current typed credential model and encrypted env behavior.
+- Runtime resolvers should merge defaults first, then progressively apply agent/channel/group/user overrides.
+- UI uses masked fields, "configured" flags, and explicit reset/delete actions.

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add credential masking tests for HTTP list/detail responses.
+2. TDD: add resolver precedence tests for global, agent, channel, group, and user credentials.
+3. TDD: add audit tests or log assertions for credential create/update/delete where existing test patterns allow.
+4. Add PG and SQLite encrypted credential tables and version bumps.
+5. Add store interfaces and implementations using existing encryption helpers.
+6. Add admin endpoints for scoped MCP credentials and scoped Secure CLI credentials.
+7. Update MCP manager credential resolution with context scope input.
+8. Update Secure CLI lookup/credential resolution with context scope input.
+9. Add UI credential forms with masked values, configured flags, and delete/reset flows.
+10. Update docs to document precedence and masking behavior.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add failing tests proving no raw secrets are serialized.
+- [ ] Add failing runtime resolver precedence tests.
+- [ ] Add PG and SQLite schema changes together.
+- [ ] Add audited credential write endpoints.
+- [ ] Add UI forms with masked values only.
+- [ ] Update security/API docs.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Admin can configure channel/group scoped MCP credentials.
+- [ ] Admin can configure channel/group scoped Secure CLI credentials.
+- [ ] Runtime uses scoped credentials according to documented precedence.
+- [ ] UI labels credential source and override state.
+- [ ] All list/detail endpoints return masked metadata only.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: raw secret leakage in UI/API/logs. Mitigation: masking tests and no reveal endpoint in this phase.
+- Risk: agent/global config accidentally overwritten by channel edits. Mitigation: dedicated tables and explicit scope keys.
+- Risk: resolver behavior differs between MCP and CLI. Mitigation: shared precedence test cases.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Encrypt all stored secret payloads using existing crypto patterns.
+- Audit create/update/delete, but never audit payload values.
+- Rate-limit or omit reveal flows; default is no raw reveal.
+

+# Phase 6: Discord Enrichment and Verification
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Discord channel: `internal/channels/discord/discord.go`, `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+- Channel docs: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- Permission matrix docs: `docs/23-ai-agent-permission-matrix.md`
+- Web channel detail UI: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+
+## Overview
+
+Validate Discord-specific group/member behavior after the generic channel context surface works. Ship either real Discord enrichment or a documented follow-up, depending on verified Discord intents and permission requirements.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Support Discord guild/channel concepts in the channel detail page.
+- If live member/role listing is available, implement it behind capability checks.
+- If required intents are not available, show stored contacts and document the limitation.
+- Run final backend, SQLite, and web validation.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Reuse the Phase 2 context/member endpoints.
+- Add Discord provider capability flags rather than hardcoding UI assumptions.
+- Use stored contact metadata for baseline Discord user rows.
+- Only add live role/member sync after verifying gateway intents, bot permissions, and API rate limits.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- `internal/channels/discord/discord.go`
+- `internal/channels/discord/handler.go`
+- `internal/channels/channel.go`
+- `internal/channels/manager.go`
+- `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+- `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- `docs/23-ai-agent-permission-matrix.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. TDD: add Discord capability tests for stored-contact fallback and unsupported live members.
+2. Verify required Discord intents and permissions against the current channel setup.
+3. If safe, implement Discord `GroupMemberProvider` support for guild/channel/role views.
+4. If not safe, keep fallback UI and add a follow-up issue/note with exact missing permissions.
+5. Add docs for channel scoped grant and credential precedence.
+6. Run focused tests:
+   - `go test ./internal/http ./internal/channels ./internal/store/pg`
+   - `go test -tags sqliteonly ./internal/store/sqlitestore`
+   - `go build ./...`
+   - `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   - relevant `pnpm` checks in `ui/web/`
+7. Perform manual UI smoke for channel detail tabs.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Add Discord fallback tests before behavior change.
+- [ ] Verify intents/permissions before live sync.
+- [ ] Implement or document Discord live member/role support.
+- [ ] Update docs for final shipped behavior.
+- [ ] Run backend, SQLite, and web validation.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Discord channel details show guild/channel/user context without cross-tenant leakage.
+- [ ] Live Discord member/role support is either implemented with verified permissions or documented as a precise follow-up.
+- [ ] Final docs describe precedence: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global.
+- [ ] Final verification commands pass or failures are documented with root cause.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: Discord member intent requires privileged configuration. Mitigation: capability gate and documented follow-up.
+- Risk: Discord API rate limits from live member fetch. Mitigation: cache/stored contacts first; live fetch only where safe.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Do not expose Discord tokens or raw provider credentials.
+- Keep all context/member rows tenant and channel-instance scoped.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Open implementation PR after all phases pass and issue acceptance criteria are checked.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Discord live role/member support depends on verified bot intents and permissions.

+# Issue 66 Channel Context Admin Surface
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement issue #66 as an incremental channel-context admin surface, not a one-shot RBAC rewrite.
+
+The first usable milestone is read-only: channel groups/contexts, members/users, and effective MCP/CLI capability visibility. Mutations come after contracts and tests prove tenant isolation, masking, audit logging, and resolver precedence.
+
+Credential precedence is: user > group/member-role > channel > agent > global. This keeps user credentials most specific and avoids shared channel secrets overriding a user's explicit credential.
+
+Out of scope for the first implementation pass: raw credential reveal, storing MCP/CLI secrets in `channel_instances.credentials`, and full Discord role/member sync without validating required Discord intents and permissions.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Research and Contracts](./phase-01-research-and-contracts.md) | Complete |
+| 2 | [Read-only Context Surface](./phase-02-read-only-context-surface.md) | Complete |
+| 3 | [Effective Capability Matrix](./phase-03-effective-capability-matrix.md) | Complete |
+| 4 | [Context-scoped Grants](./phase-04-context-scoped-grants.md) | Complete |
+| 5 | [Context-scoped Credentials](./phase-05-context-scoped-credentials.md) | Complete |
+| 6 | [Discord Enrichment and Verification](./phase-06-discord-enrichment-and-verification.md) | Complete: live role/member enrichment remains gated behind Discord intent verification |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- GitHub issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/66
+- Existing web UI: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-detail/`
+- Existing HTTP routes: `internal/http/channel_instances.go`, `internal/http/mcp_grants.go`, `internal/http/secure_cli_agent_grants.go`
+- Existing stores: `internal/store/pg/`, `internal/store/sqlitestore/`, `internal/store/*mcp*`, `internal/store/*secure_cli*`
+- Migration rule: PostgreSQL migrations and SQLite schema/migration map must stay in sync.
+- Verification baseline: focused Go tests first, then `go build ./...`, `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`, and relevant web checks with `pnpm` in `ui/web/`.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None. Discord live role/member enrichment is intentionally not enabled until required intents and permissions are verified.

+# Phase 1: Research and contract tests
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Issue: https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/117
+- Current user ID resolver: `internal/agent/user_identity_resolver.go:40`
+- Tool execution context injection: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_tool_callbacks.go:47`
+- Secure CLI store contract: `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go:120`
+- Current per-user HTTP API: `internal/http/secure_cli_user_credentials.go:13`
+- Current git UI entry point: `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/cli-credentials-table.tsx:80`
+
+## Overview
+
+Write characterization and contract tests before schema or UI changes. The goal is to pin the current failure mode: git typed credentials depend on a user credential row, but cross-channel usage often cannot map to the same credential user ID.
+
+Priority: P1.
+
+Status: pending.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Agent identity is stable for the runtime path; external user identity is not stable across channels.
+- User credentials should stay supported, but they should not be the primary git credential setup path.
+- Existing context credentials already show that credential resolution is not purely per-user; agent credentials should join that explicit precedence chain.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Preserve existing per-user credential behavior.
+- Add tests that fail under the current implementation when no matching `userID` exists but an agent credential exists.
+- Make API and UI requirements explicit before implementation.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Effective credential source should become a small explicit enum in tests and later code:
+
+1. `user` for explicit per-user override.
+2. `context` for group/member/channel scoped credential.
+3. `agent` for the new agent-scoped credential.
+4. `binary` for legacy/global binary env.
+5. `none` when no typed credential is available.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify tests under `internal/store/pg/`, `internal/store/sqlitestore/`, `internal/tools/`, and `internal/http/`.
+- Add or extend UI tests under `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/__tests__/`.
+- No production code changes in this phase except test fixtures if needed.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add store contract tests proving the intended precedence: user > context > agent > binary.
+2. Add a runtime test where the same agent executes `git clone` from two different credential user IDs and resolves the same agent credential.
+3. Add an HTTP route contract test for planned agent credential endpoints:
+   - `GET /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials`
+   - `GET /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}`
+   - `PUT /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}`
+   - `DELETE /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}`
+4. Add negative API tests:
+   - invalid `binaryID`
+   - invalid `agentID`
+   - missing `host_scope` for `pat` and `ssh_key`
+   - unsupported `credential_type`
+   - response never includes raw token/key/blob
+5. Add Web UI tests that the git credential action defaults to Agent Credentials, with User Credentials shown as advanced/personal override.
+6. Document which tests fail before implementation.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Store precedence tests written.
+- [ ] Runtime cross-channel agent credential test written.
+- [ ] HTTP endpoint contract tests written.
+- [ ] UI default-flow test written.
+- [ ] Initial failing test set documented in the phase notes.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Tests prove the current user-id keyed design cannot satisfy the target behavior.
+- [ ] Tests define the exact endpoint contract and response masking.
+- [ ] No implementation-only code is added before the contract tests exist.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: tests could encode a wrong precedence order. Mitigation: keep user override highest for compatibility, but make agent credential the default UI path.
+- Risk: agent credential could accidentally grant binary execution access. Mitigation: test that credential rows do not bypass non-global agent grants.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Contract tests must assert no plaintext credential values appear in list/detail responses, audit labels, logs, or errors.
+- Tests must assert tenant isolation for every new endpoint.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 2 adds schema and store implementation until Phase 1 tests pass.

+
+## Context Links
+
+- User credential struct: `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go:79`
+- Agent grant struct: `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go:97`
+- PostgreSQL lookup path: `internal/store/pg/secure_cli.go:337`

+- SQLite schema version map: `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.go`
+- PostgreSQL latest migration at planning time: `migrations/000076_channel_memory_extraction.up.sql`
+
+## Overview
+
+Create durable agent-scoped typed credential storage and make `LookupByBinary` return an effective credential source without depending on channel-specific user IDs.
+
+Priority: P1.
+
+Status: pending.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- `secure_cli_agent_grants.encrypted_env` is a policy override payload, not a typed credential identity. It lacks `credential_type` and `host_scope`.
+- A dedicated table keeps grant authorization separate from credential material.
+- SQLite must be updated in both fresh schema and incremental migrations.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Add `secure_cli_agent_credentials` for both PostgreSQL and SQLite.
+- Encrypt secret blob with the same AES-256-GCM pattern as existing SecureCLI credentials.
+- Preserve per-user and context credentials.
+- Return source metadata for audit and UI.
+- Do not let an agent credential row grant access to a non-global CLI binary by itself.
+
+## Architecture
+
+New table shape:
+
+```sql
+secure_cli_agent_credentials (
+  id uuid/text primary key,
+  tenant_id uuid/text not null,
+  binary_id uuid/text not null,
+  agent_id uuid/text not null,
+  encrypted_env bytea/blob not null,
+  metadata jsonb/text not null default '{}',
+  credential_type text null,
+  host_scope text null,
+  created_by text not null default '',
+  created_at timestamptz/text not null,
+  updated_at timestamptz/text not null,
+  unique (tenant_id, binary_id, agent_id)
+)
+```
+
+Effective precedence:
+
+1. Per-user credential when `userID` maps to a row.
+2. Context scoped credential from the channel scope chain.
+3. Agent credential for `(tenant_id, binary_id, agent_id)`.
+4. Binary/global env.
+
+Authorization rule:
+
+- If `secure_cli_binaries.is_global = false`, `secure_cli_agent_grants` must still allow the agent before runtime uses the binary or its credential.
+- If `is_global = true`, an agent credential can specialize the otherwise global binary for that agent.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Add migration: `migrations/000077_secure_cli_agent_credentials.up.sql` and `.down.sql`, if `000077` is still the next number.
+- Update `internal/upgrade/version.go`.
+- Update `internal/store/secure_cli_store.go`.
+- Add `internal/store/pg/secure_cli_agent_credentials.go`.
+- Add `internal/store/sqlitestore/secure-cli-agent-credentials.go`.
+- Update `internal/store/pg/secure_cli.go`.
+- Update `internal/store/sqlitestore/secure-cli.go`.
+- Update `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.sql` and `internal/store/sqlitestore/schema.go`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Re-run `find migrations -name '*.up.sql' | sort | tail` and choose the next migration number.
+2. Add PG migration with foreign keys to `secure_cli_binaries`, `agents`, and tenant scope. Add indexes on `(tenant_id, binary_id)`, `(tenant_id, agent_id)`, and unique `(tenant_id, binary_id, agent_id)`.
+3. Add SQLite fresh schema and incremental migration. Bump `SchemaVersion`.
+4. Add `SecureCLIAgentCredential` struct and store methods:
+   - `GetAgentCredentials(ctx, binaryID, agentID)`
+   - `SetAgentCredentialsTyped(ctx, binaryID, agentID, encryptedEnv, credentialType, hostScope)`
+   - `SetAgentCredentials(ctx, binaryID, agentID, encryptedEnv)` for legacy env
+   - `DeleteAgentCredentials(ctx, binaryID, agentID)`
+   - `ListAgentCredentials(ctx, binaryID)`
+5. Extend lookup result with effective credential source fields. Prefer a neutral name such as `CredentialEnv`, `CredentialType`, `CredentialHostScope`, `CredentialSource`, and `CredentialSubjectID` instead of reusing `User*` fields for non-user sources.
+6. Update PG and SQLite lookup:
+   - join user credential only when `userID` exists
+   - join agent credential when `agentID` exists
+   - apply context credentials before agent credential if context credential exists
+   - preserve grant authorization check before returning a non-global binary
+7. Update fake stores in tests to implement the new interface.
+8. Run targeted store tests for PG and SQLite.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] PG migration added and down migration removes table/indexes.
+- [ ] SQLite schema and version migration added.
+- [ ] Store interface and concrete PG/SQLite methods added.
+- [ ] Effective source metadata added without breaking JSON responses.
+- [ ] Phase 1 store tests pass.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] `LookupByBinary` can resolve typed git credentials for an agent even when `userID == ""`.
+- [ ] Per-user credential still wins when present.
+- [ ] Context credential still wins over agent credential.
+- [ ] Non-global binaries still require enabled grants.
+- [ ] PG and SQLite tests cover fresh and migrated schemas.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: reusing `UserEnv` for agent credentials hides source semantics. Mitigation: introduce source-neutral fields and keep `User*` only for backward compatibility during refactor.
+- Risk: migration number collision. Mitigation: verify immediately before implementation.
+- Risk: SQLite desktop startup breaks. Mitigation: update both schema.sql and incremental migration map.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Secret values remain encrypted at rest.
+- Store methods must scope by tenant in every query.
+- Delete binary or agent should cascade or fail predictably; use foreign keys consistent with existing store behavior.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 3 exposes API CRUD over the new store methods.

+- The validator for `{credential_type, host_scope, blob}` already exists for user credentials and should be reused for agent credentials.
+- API must make clear that credentials are not grants. A credential row stores secret material; `agent-grants` still controls non-global binary access.
+- Responses should mirror the user credential API, but use `agent_id` and optional agent display metadata.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Add routes:
+  - `GET /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials`
+  - `GET /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}`
+  - `PUT /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}`
+  - `DELETE /v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}`
+- Reuse typed payload body:
+  - `credential_type: "pat" | "ssh_key" | "env"`
+  - `host_scope`
+  - `blob: {"token": "..."} | {"key": "..."}`
+  - legacy `env` for env-only CLIs
+- Return masked metadata only.
+- Emit audit events with credential type and IDs, never secret values.
+- Require admin auth and tenant scope.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Response list shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_credentials": [
+    {
+      "id": "...",
+      "binary_id": "...",
+      "agent_id": "...",
+      "agent_key": "builder",
+      "has_secret": true,
+      "credential_type": "pat",
+      "host_scope": "github.com",
+      "created_at": "...",
+      "updated_at": "..."
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Detail response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_id": "...",
+  "credential_type": "pat",
+  "host_scope": "github.com",
+  "has_secret": true
+}
+```
+
+Legacy env credentials may include sanitized `env` entries. Typed credentials must not return `blob`, `token`, or `key`.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Add `internal/http/secure_cli_agent_credentials.go`.
+- Extend `internal/http/secure_cli_typed_credentials.go` if shared helpers need neutral names.
+- Update `internal/http/secure_cli.go` route registration.
+- Add tests near `internal/http/secure_cli_typed_credentials_test.go`.
+- Update API docs in `docs/18-http-api.md` and `docs/20-api-keys-auth.md`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Refactor `typedCredentialBody`, `prepareTypedCredentialEnv`, and `writeTypedCredentialError` only if needed to support both user and agent handlers.
+2. Add handler methods for list/get/put/delete agent credentials.
+3. Validate `binaryID` and `agentID` path params with `uuid.Parse`.
+4. Verify binary and agent exist through store methods before writing.
+5. For PUT:
+   - typed branch: validate blob and call `SetAgentCredentialsTyped`
+   - env branch: merge env object and call `SetAgentCredentials`
+6. For GET/list:
+   - return metadata and `has_secret`
+   - suppress `env` for typed credentials
+7. Emit audit events:
+   - `secure_cli.agent_credentials.updated`
+   - `secure_cli.agent_credentials.deleted`
+8. Invalidate SecureCLI cache after update/delete.
+9. Run HTTP tests.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Agent credential routes registered.
+- [ ] Handler tests cover list/get/put/delete.
+- [ ] Typed validation shared with user credential API.
+- [ ] Responses mask typed secrets.
+- [ ] API docs updated with endpoint table and body examples.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] API can fully manage agent-scoped PAT and SSH credentials.
+- [ ] API can edit legacy env credentials for non-git binaries.
+- [ ] Invalid agent/binary returns a clear 404 or 400.
+- [ ] Non-admin cannot manage credentials.
+- [ ] No API response leaks raw credential material.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: new credential endpoint may be mistaken for grant endpoint. Mitigation: docs and UI state credential does not grant access.
+- Risk: duplicate validation forks. Mitigation: reuse the existing typed credential validator.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Use `http.MaxBytesReader` or existing JSON binding limits.
+- Do not log raw request body.
+- Audit should include `credential_type` and resource IDs only.
+- All writes must be tenant-scoped.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 4 consumes these endpoints from the Web UI.

+# Phase 4: Web UI credential management
+
+## Context Links
+
+- CLI credentials table action: `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/cli-credentials-table.tsx:70`
+- Current user credential dialog: `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/cli-user-credentials-dialog.tsx:70`
+- Current git typed fields: `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/cli-credential-git-fields.tsx`
+- Current hooks: `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/hooks/use-cli-credentials.ts`
+- Current i18n namespace: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/en/cli-credentials.json`
+
+## Overview
+
+Make agent credentials the primary UI path for git PAT and SSH setup. Keep user credentials available but visually demote them to advanced personal overrides.
+
+Priority: P1.
+
+Status: pending.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- Current UI exposes git typed fields inside `User Credentials`, which requires operators to know a stable `user_id`.
+- Issue #117 asks for obvious `GH_PAT` or SSH fields. The primary action should therefore be per-agent credential setup from the git template row.
+- Agent access becomes the practical permission boundary. UI must say this plainly without leaking secrets.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Add Agent Credentials action/button in the CLI credentials table.
+- For git adapter rows, default the credential form to PAT with `host_scope = github.com` placeholder.
+- Support SSH key as second option.
+- Show effective credential source where useful: user override, context, agent, binary.
+- Move User Credentials into advanced/personal override wording.
+- Keep mobile-safe dialog behavior.
+- Add en/vi/zh i18n keys.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Preferred UI structure:
+
+- Main table actions:
+  - Grants
+  - Agent Credentials
+  - Advanced: User Credentials
+  - Edit
+  - Delete
+- New dialog:
+  - agent picker
+  - credential type selector
+  - host scope input
+  - PAT token field or SSH private key textarea
+  - masked secret state on edit
+  - help text explaining agent access implies credential use
+- Use existing `CliCredentialGitFields` by extracting labels/state shape into reusable props if needed.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Add `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/cli-agent-credentials-dialog.tsx`.
+- Reuse or refactor `cli-credential-git-fields.tsx`.
+- Extend `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/hooks/use-cli-credentials.ts`.
+- Update `cli-credentials-table.tsx` and panel state.
+- Update all locale files under `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/cli-credentials.json`.
+- Add/update tests in `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/__tests__/`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add API hook methods:
+   - `listAgentCredentials(binaryId)`
+   - `getAgentCredential(binaryId, agentId)`
+   - `setAgentCredential(binaryId, agentId, payload)`
+   - `deleteAgentCredential(binaryId, agentId)`
+2. Add `CliAgentCredentialsDialog`.
+3. Reuse typed git fields and env vars section. Avoid copy-pasting validation logic unless component boundaries require it.
+4. Update table/panel to open Agent Credentials as the main credential action.
+5. Rename current User Credentials copy to "Advanced user overrides" or equivalent in all locale files.
+6. Add a warning/info line: users with access to this agent can cause it to use this credential.
+7. Add UI tests:
+   - git row shows Agent Credentials action
+   - PAT form posts to `/agent-credentials/{agentId}`
+   - edit state shows masked secret and does not submit empty replacement
+   - User Credentials remains reachable as advanced override
+8. Run `pnpm` tests/build for `ui/web`.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Agent credential dialog implemented.
+- [ ] Hooks added for all new endpoints.
+- [ ] Table/panel actions updated.
+- [ ] i18n updated in en/vi/zh.
+- [ ] UI tests pass.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Operator can configure `GH_PAT` for `github.com` without typing a channel user ID.
+- [ ] Operator can configure SSH private key for a host-scoped git remote.
+- [ ] User Credentials path remains available but no longer looks like the default git setup.
+- [ ] UI makes the agent-access security boundary visible.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: table action area becomes crowded. Mitigation: use icon buttons/tooltips or a compact menu if needed.
+- Risk: duplicated form state between user and agent dialogs. Mitigation: extract only the shared typed git fields, not the whole dialog.
+- Risk: mobile overflow in credential dialog. Mitigation: keep `max-h` scroll region and mobile-safe input sizes.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Never render raw stored token/key after save.
+- Clear plaintext form state on close/unmount.
+- Do not store plaintext in Zustand or route state.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 5 validates runtime behavior against the new source model.

+# Phase 5: Runtime git adapter validation
+
+## Context Links
+
+- Adapter prepare call: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go:466`
+- Synthetic user credential helper: `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go:511`
+- Git adapter: `internal/tools/credential_adapter_git.go`
+- Git adapter tests: `internal/tools/credential_adapter_git_test.go`
+- SSH adapter tests: `internal/tools/credential_adapter_git_ssh_test.go`
+- Current docs mention User Credentials: `docs/git-credential-adapter.md:29`
+
+## Overview
+
+Wire the effective credential source into runtime execution and validate the git adapter still injects PAT/SSH credentials only for remote git operations.
+
+Priority: P1.
+
+Status: pending.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- `credentialed_exec.go` currently synthesizes a `SecureCLIUserCredential` from `UserEnv`, `UserCredentialType`, and `UserHostScope`.
+- After Phase 2, the adapter should receive a source-neutral credential object, or the helper should be renamed so non-user sources are not misrepresented.
+- Git operations must be tested with same-agent, different-channel contexts.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Keep `git status`, `git log`, and other local-only commands uncredentialed.
+- Continue denying sandbox mode for non-passthrough adapters unless sandbox support is explicitly added later.
+- Add audit source metadata so operators can tell whether `user`, `context`, or `agent` credential was used.
+- Validate PAT header behavior against a GitHub-like HTTP endpoint or fixture.
+- Validate SSH key injection still scrubs temp paths and key bytes.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Runtime should deal with a neutral credential payload:
+
+```go
+type SecureCLIEffectiveCredential struct {
+  BinaryID uuid.UUID
+  SubjectID string
+  Source string // user, context, agent
+  EncryptedEnv []byte
+  CredentialType *string
+  HostScope *string
+}
+```
+
+If implementation keeps `SecureCLIUserCredential` as the adapter input for minimal change, add comments/tests that prove `UserID` is metadata-only and do not expose it as the credential source.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Update `internal/tools/credential_adapter.go` if a neutral type is introduced.
+- Update `internal/tools/credentialed_exec.go`.
+- Update `internal/tools/credential_audit_log_test.go`.
+- Update `internal/tools/shell_credentialed_gate_test.go` fake store.
+- Update git adapter tests.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Decide minimal runtime shape:
+   - preferred: introduce neutral `SecureCLIEffectiveCredential`
+   - fallback: keep `SecureCLIUserCredential` but add source metadata elsewhere
+2. Update `userCredFromBinary` or replace it with `effectiveCredentialFromBinary`.
+3. Ensure adapters receive credential data from user/context/agent source.
+4. Add audit source to `emitSystemEnvInjectionAudit`.
+5. Add tests:
+   - no `userID`, agent credential present, git clone injects PAT
+   - two different `CredentialUserID` values use same agent credential
+   - user credential overrides agent credential
+   - context credential overrides agent credential
+   - agent credential does not bypass grant for non-global binary
+   - PAT and SSH paths scrub secrets and temp paths
+6. Validate PAT transport:
+   - create a local HTTP test server that captures git extra header behavior, or unit-test the generated Git config/env args
+   - reconcile docs and code on Basic vs Bearer if mismatch is found
+7. Run targeted Go tests for tools/store/http.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Runtime uses effective credential from agent source.
+- [ ] Audit includes credential source without raw host or secret value.
+- [ ] Cross-channel runtime tests pass.
+- [ ] Git PAT and SSH adapter tests pass.
+- [ ] Grant boundary tests pass.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Git clone/fetch/pull/push can use an agent credential without a matching user credential.
+- [ ] Same agent uses the same credential from Discord, Telegram, HTTP, and cron contexts.
+- [ ] Per-user overrides remain backward compatible.
+- [ ] Local git operations remain uncredentialed.
+- [ ] Secrets remain scrubbed from output, logs, and errors.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: adapter API churn touches many tests. Mitigation: start with a small neutral adapter type and update fake stores in one pass.
+- Risk: PAT auth behavior is wrong for GitHub. Mitigation: add characterization test and update docs/code together.
+- Risk: audit source reveals too much host info. Mitigation: keep host hashed or omit host value, matching current audit style.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Host scope validation remains exact host or host:port, no wildcards.
+- Deny patterns from binary/grant/context still apply after credential resolution.
+- Temporary SSH files must be removed and scrubbed from errors.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Phase 6 updates docs and performs final plan/implementation validation.

+- API auth docs: `docs/20-api-keys-auth.md`
+- Security docs: `docs/09-security.md`

+- Project changelog: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+
+## Overview
+
+Update user-facing and developer docs, run validation, and leave a clean handoff for implementation review.
+
+Priority: P1.
+
+Status: pending.
+
+## Key Insights
+
+- The current git guide says to open User Credentials. That will become the advanced path.
+- API docs must include the new endpoints because user specifically asked for endpoint support.
+- Docs must state the trust model: agent access implies ability to cause that agent to use its configured git credential.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Update docs for agent credential default.
+- Keep user credential override documented.
+- Add HTTP API endpoint table and examples.
+- Update security/data-model docs.
+- Update changelog.
+- Run code, test, and build validation appropriate to touched files.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Documentation model:
+
+- Quick start: create git CLI credential, grant/use agent, add agent credential.
+- PAT path: fine-grained PAT preferred where possible, `host_scope = github.com`.
+- SSH path: unencrypted private key only, public key added to git host by operator.
+- Advanced path: per-user credential overrides for personal credentials.
+- Security model: any principal with access to run the agent can trigger the credential.
+
+## Related Code Files

+- `docs/18-http-api.md`
+- `docs/20-api-keys-auth.md`
+- `docs/09-security.md`
+- `docs/06-store-data-model.md`
+- `docs/project-changelog.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Rewrite git guide "Adding a credential" around Agent Credentials first.
+2. Add "Advanced user overrides" section.
+3. Add endpoint documentation for all agent credential routes.
+4. Add request/response examples for PAT and SSH.
+5. Update security docs with trust boundary and secret masking.
+6. Update data model docs with `secure_cli_agent_credentials`.
+7. Update changelog with issue #117 entry.
+8. Run validation:
+   - `go test ./internal/store/... ./internal/http/... ./internal/tools/...`
+   - `go build ./...`
+   - `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   - `cd ui/web && pnpm test -- --run`
+   - `cd ui/web && pnpm build`
+9. If full integration tests are skipped due local database requirements, state that explicitly in final handoff.
+
+## Todo List
+
+- [ ] Git guide updated.
+- [ ] HTTP/API auth docs updated.
+- [ ] Security and data-model docs updated.
+- [ ] Changelog updated.
+- [ ] Validation commands recorded with pass/fail status.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] A new operator can find where to enter `GH_PAT` or SSH key without knowing channel user IDs.
+- [ ] API consumers can manage agent credentials without reading code.
+- [ ] Security docs describe agent access as the permission boundary.
+- [ ] Build/test output supports merge readiness.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- Risk: docs overpromise support for GitHub App or passphrase SSH. Mitigation: keep out-of-scope section explicit.
+- Risk: endpoint examples drift from implementation. Mitigation: generate examples from handler tests where practical.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Do not include real tokens, keys, or screenshots with secrets.
+- Use placeholder values only.
+- State least-privilege recommendation: fine-grained PAT or deploy key per host/repo where possible.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- After implementation and validation, open PR referencing issue #117 and this plan.

+# Agent-scoped Git credentials
+
+## Overview
+
+Issue #117 started as a UI gap: the git template does not make it obvious where to enter `GH_PAT` or SSH key material. The deeper design problem is that current `User Credentials` are keyed by credential user ID, while the same human can appear as different external IDs across Discord, Telegram, HTTP, or group contexts.
+
+Decision: make agent-scoped git credentials the primary model. Granting access to an agent becomes the security boundary for whether a user can cause that agent to use a git PAT or SSH key. Keep per-user credentials as an advanced override for backward compatibility and truly personal credentials.
+
+TDD target:
+
+- Add contract tests first for effective credential precedence and API behavior.
+- Add a dedicated agent credential storage surface instead of mixing typed secrets into agent grant policy rows.
+- Add HTTP endpoints for create, edit, list, detail, and delete of agent-scoped CLI credentials.
+- Update Web UI so git PAT and SSH setup is managed from Agent Credentials by default.
+- Validate runtime injection across Discord/Telegram/userless contexts uses the same agent credential.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Research and contract tests](./phase-01-research-and-contract-tests.md) | Pending |
+| 2 | [Schema and store resolver](./phase-02-schema-and-store-resolver.md) | Pending |

+| 6 | [Docs validation and handoff](./phase-06-docs-validation-and-handoff.md) | Pending |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Current typed git adapter and validation: `internal/tools/credential_adapter_git.go`, `internal/http/secure_cli_typed_credentials.go`.
+- Current lookup joins per-user credentials in `internal/store/pg/secure_cli.go` and SQLite equivalent.
+- Current UI git form lives under `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/cli-user-credentials-dialog.tsx`.
+- Migration number must be re-verified at implementation time. As of plan creation, latest PostgreSQL migration is `000076_channel_memory_extraction`.
+
+## Verified Facts
+
+- `LookupByBinary` takes `(binaryName, agentID, userID)` and only joins `secure_cli_user_credentials` when `userID` is non-empty.
+- Context credentials can currently override/fill credential fields via `applyContextSecureCLI`, but there is no agent credential typed secret row.
+- `SecureCLIAgentGrant` already has `encrypted_env`, but lacks `credential_type` and `host_scope`; using it for typed git secrets would mix policy and secret identity.
+- HTTP routes currently expose `/v1/cli-credentials/{id}/user-credentials...` but not agent credential endpoints.
+- The Web UI currently opens User Credentials from the CLI credentials table action.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- GitHub App installation tokens.
+- OAuth/device-code token minting.
+- Wildcard host scopes.
+- Passphrase-protected SSH keys.
+- Sandbox-mode git credential injection.

+# Redteam Report: Agent-scoped Git Credentials
+
+Date: 2026-05-31
+
+Scope: plan review for issue #117 before implementation.
+
+## Findings
+
+### R1 - Credential rows could accidentally bypass grants
+
+Risk: If runtime joins `secure_cli_agent_credentials` without preserving the existing non-global grant gate, creating a credential row becomes an implicit grant.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 2 and Phase 5 require tests that non-global binaries still need `secure_cli_agent_grants`. Credential rows store secrets only.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+### R2 - Agent grants are the wrong place for typed secrets
+
+Risk: `secure_cli_agent_grants.encrypted_env` already exists and is tempting to reuse, but it is policy override state and lacks `credential_type` and `host_scope`.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 2 uses dedicated `secure_cli_agent_credentials`.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+### R3 - User credential precedence could preserve the confusing default
+
+Risk: Keeping user credentials as the visible default would not solve cross-channel identity confusion.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 4 makes Agent Credentials the primary git path and moves User Credentials to advanced overrides.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+### R4 - API support could lag behind UI
+
+Risk: A UI-only feature would block automation and contradict the user requirement.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 3 defines full CRUD endpoints, request bodies, response masking, audit events, docs, and tests.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+### R5 - Typed validation might fork and drift
+
+Risk: Copying PAT/SSH validation into a new handler can create inconsistent behavior between user and agent credentials.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 3 requires reusing `prepareTypedCredentialEnv` or a shared equivalent.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+### R6 - SQLite migration can be missed
+
+Risk: Desktop edition uses SQLite and can break if only PostgreSQL migrations are added.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 2 requires PG migration, SQLite fresh schema, SQLite incremental migration, and version bump.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+### R7 - Runtime audit source can become misleading
+
+Risk: Existing audit uses credential user ID. Agent credentials would make that label inaccurate.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 5 requires source-neutral credential metadata and audit source coverage.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+### R8 - PAT transport behavior needs proof
+
+Risk: Docs and adapter assumptions around GitHub HTTPS auth can silently diverge.
+
+Fix in plan: Phase 5 requires a GitHub-like PAT transport characterization test and code/docs reconciliation.
+
+Status: fixed in plan.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None.

+# Validation Report: Agent-scoped Git Credentials Plan
+
+Date: 2026-05-31
+
+Scope: validate plan completeness and consistency against current code.
+
+## Checks
+
+### V1 - Current failure mode is represented
+
+Evidence: current resolver can return channel-specific user IDs, and `LookupByBinary` only joins user credentials when `userID` is non-empty.
+
+Plan coverage: Phase 1 and Phase 5 include cross-channel/no-user tests.
+
+Status: pass.
+
+### V2 - API endpoints are included
+
+Evidence: current routes include user credential endpoints only.
+
+Plan coverage: Phase 3 defines list/get/put/delete agent credential endpoints and docs updates.
+
+Status: pass.
+
+### V3 - Store model separates policy from secret identity
+
+Evidence: `SecureCLIAgentGrant` has policy fields plus encrypted env override but no typed credential metadata.
+
+Plan coverage: Phase 2 adds dedicated `secure_cli_agent_credentials`.
+
+Status: pass.
+
+### V4 - Dual database migration is covered
+
+Evidence: repo has separate PostgreSQL migrations and SQLite schema/version migrations.
+
+Plan coverage: Phase 2 explicitly updates both systems.
+
+Status: pass.
+
+### V5 - UI default path matches product decision
+
+Evidence: current table opens User Credentials, and current git guide documents User Credentials.
+
+Plan coverage: Phase 4 and Phase 6 make Agent Credentials the default and keep User Credentials as advanced override.
+
+Status: pass.
+
+### V6 - TDD gates are explicit
+
+Evidence: implementation phases depend on failing tests from Phase 1.
+
+Plan coverage: every phase lists tests or validation commands.
+
+Status: pass.
+
+### V7 - Security boundary is explicit
+
+Evidence: agent access is the proposed operational permission boundary.
+
+Plan coverage: Phase 3, Phase 4, and Phase 6 all require warnings/docs/tests that credential does not grant binary access but agent users can trigger credential use.
+
+Status: pass.
+
+## Fixes Applied During Validation
+
+- Added explicit non-global grant boundary tests.
+- Added exact HTTP endpoint list and response shapes.
+- Added SQLite migration requirement.
+- Added runtime audit source requirement.
+- Added PAT transport characterization requirement.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None.

+# Phase 1: Characterization Tests
+
+## Overview
+
+Lock current behavior before changing semantics. These tests should fail only where issue #118 intentionally changes default quick acknowledgement from fixed templates to generated progress plus fallback.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: prove current template-only quick ack behavior and `block.reply` delivery gates.
+- Functional: prove existing final dedup depends on delivered `block.reply`.
+- Non-functional: tests must not use external LLM calls or channel network calls.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use existing unit-test surfaces:
+- `internal/channels/chat_behavior_test.go` for resolver and preview decisions.
+- `internal/channels/chat_behavior_events_test.go` for timer, fallback, streaming, and block reply delivery.
+- Existing pipeline tests in `internal/pipeline/stages_test.go` already cover `block.reply` only when tool calls exist; add only if a behavior gap is discovered.
+
+No DB, migration, or integration fixture is needed.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_events_test.go`
+- Optional modify: `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal_test.go` if a focused final-dedup test already exists nearby
+- Read: `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go`
+- Read: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_adapter.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add resolver tests showing old default template behavior and the intended new default mode contract.
+2. Add event tests for generated progress canceling fallback before fallback timer sends.
+3. Add event tests for fallback sending only when no `block.reply` has been delivered.
+4. Add streaming guard test: generated progress/fallback must not duplicate streaming chunks.
+5. Add compatibility tests for explicit fixed-template mode so users can keep old behavior.
+6. Run the focused Go test package and confirm new tests fail before implementation.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Tests describe generated-first, template-fallback behavior.
+- [ ] Tests prove no separate LLM call is required.
+- [ ] Tests and review prove this issue adds no new persistence path.
+- [ ] Tests fail before Phase 2/3 implementation and pass after.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: tests accidentally assert impossible "instant" LLM output. Mitigation: state generated progress depends on main-turn `block.reply`, not pre-LLM response.

+
+# Phase 2: Config Contract
+
+## Overview
+
+Add an explicit quick acknowledgement mode contract so fixed templates stop being the default behavior while old configurations remain representable.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: default `chat_behavior.quick_ack` mode is generated-first with template fallback.
+- Functional: explicit fixed-template mode preserves old behavior.
+- Functional: existing `templates` field remains the fallback template list.
+- Functional: config preview returns enough metadata for UI to explain generated vs fallback decisions.
+- Non-functional: additive JSON config only; no migration.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Proposed additive shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "gateway": {
+    "chat_behavior": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "quick_ack": {
+        "enabled": true,
+        "mode": "llm_generated",
+        "min_delay_ms": 1000,
+        "templates": ["Got it. Working on it..."]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Mode semantics:
+- `llm_generated`: generated `block.reply` is preferred; `templates` are fallback if no generated progress arrives before `min_delay_ms`.
+- `fixed_template`: old behavior; send template after `min_delay_ms` when eligible.
+- `off`: disables chat-behavior quick acknowledgement only; explicit `gateway.block_reply=true` must still preserve existing block reply delivery.
+
+Implementation detail: use string constants in `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go`; keep config structs string-based to avoid custom JSON code.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/config/config_channels.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go`
+- Modify: `internal/gateway/methods/chat_behavior.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_test.go`
+- Read: `cmd/gateway_system_config_sync.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add `Mode *string json:"mode,omitempty"` to `QuickAckConfig`.
+2. Add `Mode string` to `ResolvedQuickAckConfig`.
+3. Define accepted modes near existing quick ack defaults.
+4. Update `ResolveChatBehavior` to default quick ack mode to `llm_generated` while retaining fallback templates.
+5. Treat nil/empty mode as `llm_generated`, even when legacy configs have `templates`; this is the requested default change. Treat unknown strings as `llm_generated` and test the fallback.
+6. Update `ShouldSendQuickAck` or split it into clearer helpers if needed:
+   - fallback timer eligibility
+   - fixed template delivery eligibility
+   - generated progress delivery eligibility
+7. Update preview response so UI can show whether acknowledgement is generated-first, fixed-template, or off.
+8. Keep `templates` cleaning behavior but document it as fallback templates.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Existing JSON config remains backward compatible.
+- [ ] Default resolver no longer treats fixed template as the primary quick ack.
+- [ ] Unknown/empty templates still resolve to the fallback default string.
+- [ ] Preview can distinguish generated-first from fixed-template behavior.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: changing default mode breaks users expecting old fixed-template quick ack. Mitigation: expose explicit `fixed_template` mode and keep `templates` field semantics intact.

+
+# Phase 3: Runtime Delivery
+
+## Overview
+
+Route generated progress through existing `block.reply` channel delivery and use fixed templates only as the fallback path.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: generated `block.reply` can be delivered for chat behavior even when global `gateway.block_reply` is false.
+- Functional: explicit `gateway.block_reply=true` preserves current full block reply behavior.
+- Functional: fallback template cancels when a generated `block.reply` arrives.
+- Functional: streaming channels skip generated progress/fallback to avoid duplicate chunks.
+- Non-functional: do not store generated progress and do not create another LLM call.
+- Non-functional: do not change existing run timeline recorder behavior.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Current flow:
+- `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go:242` resolves global/per-channel `block_reply`.
+- `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go:245` resolves `chat_behavior`.
+- `internal/channels/events.go:276` drops `block.reply` unless `RunContext.BlockReplyEnabled` is true.
+- `internal/channels/events.go:292` cancels quick ack when a `block.reply` is delivered.
+
+Target flow:
+- Register runs with both explicit `block_reply` and chat behavior.
+- In channel event handling, allow `block.reply` delivery when either:
+  - explicit block reply is enabled, or
+  - chat behavior quick ack mode is `llm_generated` and non-streaming.
+- In generated-progress mode, mark `blockReplySent` and cancel fallback timer after a generated message is published.
+- Keep final dedup aligned with actual delivered generated progress, not only explicit `gateway.block_reply`.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/events.go`

+- Read: `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go`
+- Read: `internal/pipeline/observe_stage.go`
+- Read: `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_adapter.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add runtime helper(s) that answer:
+   - should schedule fallback template?
+   - should deliver generated `block.reply`?
+   - was a generated/fixed interim message delivered and should final dedup run?
+2. Update run registration context if a new resolved flag is needed; avoid shared mutable global state.
+3. Change `AgentEventBlockReply` handling to use generated-progress eligibility as well as explicit block reply.
+4. Keep streaming guard before publishing outbound.
+5. Ensure fallback timer is canceled when generated progress publishes.
+6. Ensure final dedup checks actual delivered interim reply when chat behavior generated mode delivered one.
+7. Keep retry/tool status messages unchanged unless tests show direct conflict.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Non-streaming channel can receive LLM-generated progress from main-turn `block.reply` with `gateway.block_reply=false`.
+- [ ] Fallback template sends only if no generated progress was delivered before delay.
+- [ ] Streaming channel gets no duplicate progress messages.
+- [ ] Existing explicit block reply behavior and final dedup remain covered.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: generated progress could duplicate final answer if final dedup remains tied to explicit block reply only. Mitigation: base dedup on actual delivered interim reply count/content.

+
+# Phase 4: Dashboard Controls
+
+## Overview
+
+Update the Behavior UI so the default is generated progress, and fallback templates are presented as fallback, not the main acknowledgement content.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: global Behavior card can select quick ack mode.
+- Functional: per-channel override schema can override quick ack mode where current quick ack enabled override exists.
+- Functional: UI preview explains generated-first vs fallback/fixed behavior.
+- Non-functional: all new user-facing strings use existing i18n namespace and en/vi/zh locale files.
+- Non-functional: keep component files under the repo's 200-line guidance or split a focused child component.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Current UI:
+- `normalizeChatBehavior` defaults templates to `"Got it. Working on it..."` in `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-section.tsx:128`.
+- `BehaviorChatCard` labels templates as quick ack templates in `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-chat-card.tsx:115`.
+- Per-channel schema only overrides `chat_behavior.quick_ack.enabled` in `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-schemas.ts:31`.
+
+Target UI:
+- Add a mode control with values generated-first, fixed-template, off.
+- Rename template textarea copy to fallback templates.
+- Keep delay field as fallback/fixed delay.
+- Preserve mobile input font size rule: `text-base md:text-sm` on inputs/selects if custom components require class names.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-section.tsx`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-chat-card.tsx`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-schemas.ts`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/en/config.json`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/vi/config.json`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/zh/config.json`
+- Optional create: a focused child component under `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/` if `behavior-chat-card.tsx` would exceed 200 lines
+- Modify: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add mode to `ChatBehaviorValues`.
+2. Normalize default mode to `llm_generated`.
+3. Add mode control and copy that explains no extra LLM call.
+4. Rename template labels/hints to fallback template language.
+5. Update preview rendering for generated-first/fallback/fixed states.
+6. Add per-channel schema override for `chat_behavior.quick_ack.mode`.
+7. Add i18n keys to all three config locale files.
+8. Update channel messaging docs with new semantics and explicit no-storage note.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Dashboard no longer presents fixed template as default immediate response.
+- [ ] Config payload includes `quick_ack.mode` when changed.
+- [ ] Per-channel override can inherit/generated/fixed/off.
+- [ ] All new UI strings are localized.
+- [ ] Component size guidance is respected or consciously documented.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: adding controls could bloat the existing card. Mitigation: split a small quick-ack settings component if the file crosses 200 lines.

+# Phase 5: Validation and Ship Handoff
+
+## Overview
+
+Run focused and broad validation, update plan status/docs, ship a beta PR, run PR review/fix loop, and report back on issue #118.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: every acceptance criterion in `plan.md` is validated by tests, build, or explicit review.
+- Functional: issue #118 gets plan comment, implementation report, branch/PR link, and label transition.
+- Non-functional: do not push secrets or unrelated changes.
+
+## Architecture
+
+This phase is process-only. It uses the existing GitHub CLI workflow and repo validation commands. Beta shipping targets `dev` because README describes `dev` branch pushes as beta release path.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: plan status files in this plan directory
+- Modify: docs only if implementation changes public channel behavior
+- No runtime files unless review finds actionable issues
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run focused Go tests:
+   `go test ./internal/channels ./internal/config ./internal/gateway/methods`
+2. Run SQLite-tag focused tests:
+   `go test -tags sqliteonly ./internal/channels ./internal/config ./internal/gateway/methods`
+3. Run broad compile/static checks:
+   `go build ./...`
+   `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+   `go vet ./...`
+4. Run web validation:
+   `cd ui/web && pnpm test -- --run`
+   `cd ui/web && pnpm build`
+5. Run `git diff --check` and inspect `git status --short`.
+6. Commit and push implementation with `ck:git cp` semantics.
+7. Create beta PR to `dev` and link issue #118.
+8. Run review-pr fix loop until no actionable findings remain.
+9. Comment issue #118 with implementation summary, PR URL, validation status, and final label update.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] All focused tests pass.
+- [ ] PG and SQLite build pass.
+- [ ] Web build passes.
+- [ ] PR exists against `dev`.
+- [ ] Review/fix loop reports approve or no actionable findings.
+- [ ] Issue label moves from `ready to implement` to `ready to ship beta`.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: broad integration/race tests require local services and may be unavailable. Mitigation: run all local deterministic checks; report any unavailable service-backed checks honestly.

+# Issue 118 LLM-Generated Channel Progress
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement the approved cheapest path for issue #118.
+
+Decision locked by user:
+- No separate LLM call for immediate/progress messages.
+- Use the existing main-turn `block.reply` event as the generated channel progress message.
+- Keep `quick_ack.templates` only as fallback.
+- Do not store progress messages.
+
+Hard product constraint: without a separate LLM call, GoClaw cannot guarantee a natural LLM-generated message before the main model emits content. The generated progress message is available when the main LLM emits assistant content before tool calls; otherwise a configured fixed template fallback may fire after the fallback delay.
+
+Current implementation facts:
+- `QuickAckConfig` has `enabled`, `min_delay_ms`, and `templates` only, so mode/fallback semantics need an additive config field in `internal/config/config_channels.go:11`.
+- `ResolveChatBehavior` currently defaults templates to `"Got it. Working on it..."` and `ShouldSendQuickAck` only checks enabled plus non-streaming in `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go:57` and `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go:140`.
+- `run.started` schedules quick ack immediately via `internal/channels/events.go:42`.
+- `block.reply` channel delivery is currently gated only by resolved `BlockReplyEnabled` in `internal/channels/events.go:276`.
+- Main-turn generated content already emits `block.reply` from tool iterations in `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go:148`, then sanitizes in `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_adapter.go:107`.
+- Final dedup depends on `blockReplyEnabled` in `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go:542`.
+- `internal/agent/run_timeline_recorder.go:137` already maps existing `block.reply` events to assistant-message timeline items. This issue must not add new persistence or broaden recorder behavior; existing timeline behavior is out of scope unless tests show a direct regression.
+
+Scope:
+- Backend config contract and resolver.
+- Channel event delivery semantics.
+- Preview API and dashboard controls.
+- Documentation and issue handoff.
+
+Explicitly out of scope:
+- New LLM provider call.
+- DB schema, timeline/archive persistence, or message history storage for progress messages.
+- Changing existing run timeline recorder semantics.
+- Raw chain-of-thought or tool trace exposure.
+- Per-agent prompt rewriting beyond existing main LLM output.

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Default enabled chat behavior prefers LLM-generated progress from main-turn `block.reply`, not fixed templates.
+- [ ] No extra LLM request is introduced.
+- [ ] Fixed templates remain configurable fallback only.
+- [ ] Fallback does not fire after a generated `block.reply` has already been delivered.
+- [ ] Streaming channels still avoid duplicate progress delivery.
+- [ ] Existing explicit `gateway.block_reply` behavior and final dedup continue to work.
+- [ ] Preview API describes generated-vs-fallback behavior without sending messages.
+- [ ] Dashboard config reflects generated default, fallback template semantics, and all new UI text is localized in en/vi/zh.
+- [ ] No new DB/archive/session-history storage is added for progress messages by this issue.

+# Issue 118 Plan Redteam
+
+Plan: `plans/260531-1555-issue-118-llm-generated-channel-progress/plan.md`
+Date: 2026-05-31
+
+## Findings
+
+### Fixed
+
+1. Persistence wording was too absolute.
+   - Evidence: `internal/agent/run_timeline_recorder.go:137` already maps existing `block.reply` events to assistant-message timeline items.
+   - Risk: plan could promise "no progress messages are stored" while existing event recorder already handles `block.reply`.
+   - Fix: plan now says this issue adds no new persistence and does not broaden recorder behavior.
+
+2. `off` mode semantics could accidentally disable explicit `gateway.block_reply`.
+   - Evidence: `internal/channels/events.go:276` currently gates block replies by `RunContext.BlockReplyEnabled`, independent from chat behavior.
+   - Risk: quick ack mode `off` could be over-implemented as a global block reply kill switch.
+   - Fix: phase 02 now says `off` only disables chat-behavior quick acknowledgement; explicit `gateway.block_reply=true` must keep working.
+
+3. Legacy nil mode behavior needed a firm decision.
+   - Evidence: current `QuickAckConfig` has no mode in `internal/config/config_channels.go:11`.
+   - Risk: implementation could infer old fixed-template behavior from non-empty `templates`, silently preserving the old default.
+   - Fix: phase 02 now says nil/empty mode resolves to `llm_generated`, even when legacy configs have templates. This is the requested default change.
+
+## Remaining Risks
+
+- Generated progress cannot be guaranteed before tool execution without a separate LLM call. Plan states this explicitly.
+- Fallback template and later generated progress may both be visible in long runs. Implementation must keep this bounded by existing one-ack behavior plus existing `block.reply` semantics.
+- UI work may push `behavior-chat-card.tsx` past 200 lines. Phase 04 calls for a focused split if needed.
+
+## Verdict
+
+Plan is ready to implement after the fixed findings above.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+None.

+# Issue 118 Plan Validation
+
+Plan: `plans/260531-1555-issue-118-llm-generated-channel-progress/plan.md`
+Date: 2026-05-31
+
+## User Decisions Checked
+
+- No separate LLM call: preserved in overview, phases 01, 03, and validation criteria.
+- Use main-turn `block.reply`: preserved in overview and runtime phase.
+- Do not store progress messages: plan now scopes this as no new persistence or recorder broadening.
+- Templates fallback only: preserved through `llm_generated` mode and `fixed_template` compatibility.
+
+## Code Claims Checked
+
+- `QuickAckConfig` lacks mode today: verified in `internal/config/config_channels.go:11`.
+- Default template is currently fixed: verified in `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go:14` and resolver defaults at `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go:57`.
+- `run.started` schedules quick ack: verified in `internal/channels/events.go:42`.
+- `block.reply` channel delivery is gated by `BlockReplyEnabled`: verified in `internal/channels/events.go:276`.
+- Main LLM content emits `block.reply` on tool iterations: verified in `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go:148`.
+- Sanitization happens before emitting `block.reply`: verified in `internal/agent/loop_pipeline_adapter.go:107`.
+- Final dedup currently keys off explicit block reply enablement: verified in `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go:542`.
+- Existing timeline recorder handles `block.reply`: verified in `internal/agent/run_timeline_recorder.go:137`.
+
+## Whole-Plan Consistency Sweep
+
+- No stale claim that generated response is guaranteed "instant".
+- No plan step creates a DB migration or new storage table.
+- No plan step adds a provider or second LLM request.
+- Backend, UI, docs, tests, and ship handoff are represented.
+- Open questions are resolved by the user's selected direction.

 `gateway.chat_behavior` controls optional channel-only delivery polish:
 
-- `quick_ack` sends one short acknowledgement after a configurable delay, only for non-streaming channel runs.
+- `quick_ack.mode = "llm_generated"` uses the existing main-turn `block.reply` event as the natural progress response for non-streaming channel runs. It does not make a separate LLM call.
+- `quick_ack.templates` are fallback messages. In generated mode, the first template is sent only if no generated `block.reply` arrives before `quick_ack.min_delay_ms`.
+- `quick_ack.mode = "fixed_template"` preserves the older fixed-template acknowledgement behavior.
+- `quick_ack.mode = "off"` disables chat-behavior quick acknowledgement without disabling explicit `gateway.block_reply`.
 - `final_split` splits long final text replies into a bounded number of paragraph messages.
 - Per-channel `chat_behavior` overrides inherit the gateway config unless a field is explicitly set.
 
 Splitting is intentionally conservative. Replies containing fenced code, tables, lists, quotes, JSON/XML-ish blocks, or URL-only paragraphs remain a single message. Media replies and streaming deliveries are not split.
 
+Progress messages are not added to session history by this behavior. Existing run timeline handling for `block.reply` remains unchanged.
+
 **Multi-attachment coalescing (#63).** Messages carrying attachments do NOT bypass the debouncer — that pre-fix shortcut was the source of N-replies for one user action. Instead, when media is present the effective window is `max(configured, mediaFloor)` so multi-file uploads land in the same buffer and flush together. Three surfaces apply the same invariant:

+### Agent-scoped git credentials (issue #117)
+
+**New**
+
+- Added agent-scoped Secure CLI credentials with PostgreSQL migration `000077`
+  and SQLite schema version `46`.
+- Added HTTP APIs under
+  `/v1/cli-credentials/{id}/agent-credentials/{agentId}` for listing,
+  reading metadata, saving, and deleting agent credentials.
+- Web CLI Credentials now exposes Agent Credentials as the primary git PAT/SSH
+  setup path, with User Credentials renamed to advanced personal overrides.
+
+**Security**
+
+- Runtime credential precedence is now user override, context credential, agent
+  credential, then binary env defaults.
+- Git adapter audit logs include `credential_source` without logging raw
+  secrets or plaintext host scopes.

+### Channel intermediate reply gating
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Quick acknowledgement off now suppresses the first pre-tool `block.reply`
+  even when explicit `gateway.block_reply` is enabled, so the initial
+  acknowledgement does not leak through the Intermediate Replies path.
+- Final reply dedup now uses channel-delivered interim state instead of raw
+  pipeline `block.reply` emit counts, avoiding false suppression when an
+  interim event was skipped.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added channel event coverage for quick acknowledgement disabled and
+  `quick_ack.mode = "off"` with explicit intermediate replies enabled.

+### Tool-call announcements
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Intermediate Replies now guarantees a pre-tool announcement when the model
+  requests tools without assistant text, or with text that does not name the
+  tools. The fallback uses sanitized tool names only and is tagged as
+  `tool_announcement`.
+- Quick acknowledgement off still suppresses generic first acknowledgements,
+  but no longer suppresses explicit tool announcements.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added pipeline coverage for empty-content tool calls and channel coverage for
+  `tool_announcement` delivery when Quick acknowledgement is off.

+# Phase 1: characterization-tests
+
+## Overview
+
+Write tests that describe the broken behavior before implementation.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a Web UI wiring test proving `CliCredentialsPanel` exposes one agent
+   access surface instead of mounting separate Agent Grants and Agent
+   Credentials dialogs from independent state.
+2. Update git adapter PAT tests to expect GitHub-compatible Basic auth
+   extraheader and to assert both raw and encoded token material are scrubbed.
+3. Add SSH storage-validation tests proving save-time validation calls an
+   OpenSSH compatibility check after Go parser validation.
+4. Run the new tests first and keep the initial failing output in the
+   implementation notes.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] UI test fails on current code because two agent dialog targets are still
+      independent.
+- [ ] PAT test fails on current code because it still emits Bearer auth.
+- [ ] SSH validation test fails on current code because no OpenSSH
+      compatibility check is called at storage time.
+- [ ] No production secrets or trace payload content are copied into tests.

+# Phase 2: agent-access-ui
+
+## Overview
+
+Unify the operator task without merging policy and secret data models.
+Admins should open one Agent Access dialog for a binary, then choose between
+Credential and Access Policy inside that dialog.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Replace `agentCredsTarget` and `grantsTarget` in
+   `cli-credentials-panel.tsx` with one `agentAccessTarget` containing the
+   binary and initial tab.
+2. Add `cli-agent-access-dialog.tsx` as the single dialog root.
+3. Extract non-dialog content from `CLIAgentCredentialsDialog` and
+   `CliCredentialGrantsDialog` into reusable content components so the new
+   dialog does not nest Radix dialogs.
+4. Change table and grant chip actions to open Agent Access with either the
+   credential or grants tab selected.
+5. Add i18n keys for the Agent Access title, description, and tab labels in
+   English, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] At most one Radix dialog root is mounted for agent access from
+      `CliCredentialsPanel`.
+- [ ] The git row makes typed credential setup the primary Agent Access path.
+- [ ] The grants view remains reachable from the same dialog.
+- [ ] Existing User Credentials advanced override remains available.

+## Overview

+   `Authorization: Basic base64("x-access-token:<token>")` for
+   `http.https://<host>/.extraheader`.
+2. Preserve host-scoped injection and existing command allowlist behavior.
+3. Add both raw token and base64/header forms to scrub values.
+4. Update adapter tests and any integration helpers that describe the git HTTP
+   auth mode.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] PAT tests assert Basic auth header, not Bearer.
+- [ ] Encoded PAT material cannot appear unsanitized in credentialed exec logs.
+- [ ] SSH adapter behavior is unchanged by this phase.

+# Phase 4: ssh-key-validation
+
+## Overview
+
+Catch OpenSSH-incompatible private keys before they are stored.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a storage-oriented validator in `internal/tools` that first calls
+   `ValidateSSHKey`, then checks OpenSSH compatibility via `ssh-keygen -y -f`
+   on a 0600 temporary file.
+2. If `ssh-keygen` is unavailable, keep the Go parser result rather than
+   breaking non-OpenSSH dev environments.
+3. Route typed credential saves through the new storage validator in
+   `internal/http/secure_cli_typed_credentials.go`.
+4. Return the existing git credential validation error shape so UI handling
+   does not need a new API family.
+5. Keep runtime validation in `gitAdapter.Prepare` lightweight; do not spawn
+   `ssh-keygen` on every command.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Save-time SSH validation test proves OpenSSH incompatibility is surfaced
+      before encryption/persistence.
+- [ ] Valid unencrypted private keys still pass.
+- [ ] Passphrase-protected keys remain rejected.
+- [ ] No key material is logged or returned in validation errors.

+# Issue 117 Agent Access Git Credential Follow-up
+
+## Overview
+
+PR #120 added agent-scoped CLI credentials, but the follow-up evidence shows
+two remaining defects:
+
+- Web UI can mount Agent Grants and Agent Credentials independently, so admins
+  can end up with overlapping modals for one binary.
+- Production traces show agent credentials are selected and injected, yet git
+  still fails: HTTPS clone ignores the PAT header shape, and SSH accepts a key
+  at save time that OpenSSH later reports as `error in libcrypto`.
+
+Approach:
+
+1. Add failing characterization tests first for UI exclusivity and adapter
+   behavior.
+2. Replace the two competing agent actions with one Agent Access flow. Keep
+   policy grants and typed secrets separate internally, but expose them as two
+   views of the same operator task.
+3. Change GitHub PAT injection to Basic auth extraheader and scrub the encoded
+   secret form.
+4. Validate SSH private keys against the OpenSSH parser before storing them, not
+   only against Go's `x/crypto/ssh` parser.
+5. Validate with focused Go and Web UI tests before git/ship.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [characterization-tests](./phase-01-characterization-tests.md) | Completed |
+| 2 | [agent-access-ui](./phase-02-agent-access-ui.md) | Completed |

+| 4 | [ssh-key-validation](./phase-04-ssh-key-validation.md) | Completed |
+| 5 | [docs-ship](./phase-05-docs-ship.md) | Completed |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Prior completed plan: `plans/260531-1545-agent-scoped-git-credentials/`.
+- Related issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#117`.
+- Related merged PRs: `digitopvn/goclaw#120`, `digitopvn/goclaw#96`.
+- Runtime evidence: production logs show `credential_source=agent` for both PAT
+  and SSH paths, so this is an adapter/validation problem, not a missing
+  credential lookup problem.
+
+## Verified Facts
+
+- `CliCredentialsPanel` currently tracks `agentCredsTarget` and `grantsTarget`
+  as separate states and renders both dialogs if both are non-null.
+- `gitAdapter.Prepare` currently writes
+  `GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0=Authorization: Bearer <token>` for PAT credentials.
+- `docs/git-credential-adapter.md` already documents GitHub PAT as Basic auth,
+  so code and docs diverged after PR #120.
+- `prepareTypedCredentialEnv` validates SSH keys with `tools.ValidateSSHKey`
+  before encryption, but that only exercises Go's parser.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- GitHub App installation tokens or OAuth device-code minting.
+- Wildcard host scopes.
+- Passphrase-protected SSH keys.
+- Changing credential precedence. Existing precedence remains user > context >
+  agent > binary env.

+# Red-team Report
+
+## Result
+
+Approved for implementation with two guardrails.
+
+## Findings
+
+1. Basic auth creates a second secret representation. Fix must scrub the raw PAT,
+   the base64 payload, and the full header value. Otherwise logs can hide
+   `ghp_...` while leaking `eC1hY2Nlc3MtdG9rZW46...`.
+2. Do not run `ssh-keygen` on every agent git command. Runtime command execution
+   is hot path and already has key materialization. OpenSSH compatibility belongs
+   at save time.
+3. Avoid nested Radix dialogs. The Agent Access implementation must extract
+   content bodies or keep one dialog root; rendering old dialog components inside
+   a new wrapper would keep the overlap class of bug.
+4. Keep credential precedence unchanged. The production evidence shows agent
+   credentials are selected; changing resolver precedence would be a regression.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- Plan already includes scrub expansion in phase 3.
+- Plan already constrains OpenSSH validation to storage path in phase 4.
+- Plan phase 2 explicitly requires content extraction instead of nested dialogs.
+- No blocker remains.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None.

+- UI overlap premise verified at `ui/web/src/pages/cli-credentials/cli-credentials-panel.tsx:40-41` and `:138-154`: agent credentials and grants are independent targets and can render independent dialog roots.
+- PAT adapter mismatch verified at `internal/tools/credential_adapter_git.go:117-130`: current injected header is Bearer and only the raw token is scrubbed.
+- SSH save-time parser gap verified at `internal/http/secure_cli_typed_credentials.go:129`: storage path calls only `tools.ValidateSSHKey`.
+- Prior issue #117 plan is completed at `plans/260531-1545-agent-scoped-git-credentials/plan.md`, so this follow-up does not reopen the original storage/API scope.

+## Unresolved Questions

 ## 2026-05-31
 
+### Provider fallback content-policy recovery
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Classifies provider content-policy rejections such as DashScope `data_inspection_failed` so model fallback can continue to the next configured candidate instead of stopping on `unknown`.
+- Prevents Telegram runs from aborting silently when one fallback provider rejects a long/private history but another configured fallback remains available.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added provider classifier and model fallback coverage for continuing past a content-policy fallback failure.
+
+---
+
+### Empty Codex OAuth truncation recovery
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Detects successful LLM calls that still return `finish_reason=length` with no text/tool/image output, the observed failure mode when long Codex OAuth runs spend the remaining budget on reasoning.
+- Runs emergency history compaction and retries instead of finalizing empty assistant content into repeated `"..."` replies.
+- Preserves configured/model context windows so future provider context upgrades do not require code changes.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added ThinkStage coverage for empty length responses, retry compaction, usage accounting, and repeated failure handling.
+
+---
+
 ### Agent Access git credential follow-up (issue #117)
 
 **Fixes**

+### CI/CD: fast zuey beta deploy (issue #88)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Split the dev beta release workflow so zuey deploy starts after the linux amd64 prerelease asset is published, instead of waiting for Docker multi-arch builds and beta alias promotion.
+- Added stale beta tag guards for zuey deploy and Docker beta alias promotion so older runs cannot roll back a newer beta.
+- Kept linux arm64 binaries, refreshed checksums, multi-arch Docker images, and beta aliases as required post-deploy completion jobs.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added a workflow-structure test covering the fast deploy graph, artifact completion graph, and stale-tag guards.

+# Phase 1: Scout and design
+
+## Overview
+
+Verify current workflow graph, zuey asset contract, and overlapping plans before editing CI.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: document the exact current blockers for zuey deploy.
+- Non-functional: plan must be grounded in live workflow code and recent run timing.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Current path: `go/web -> beta_version -> build_binaries + docker_images -> promote_beta_aliases -> publish_release -> deploy_zuey_beta`.
+
+Fast path target: `go/web -> beta_version -> build_zuey_binary -> publish_release -> deploy_zuey_beta`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Read `README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `.github/workflows/dev-beta-release.yaml`, and `scripts/zuey/goclaw-upgrade-release.sh`.
+2. Check issue #88 and recent workflow job timings with `gh`.
+3. Check unfinished plans for overlapping CI release work.
+4. Verify zuey only requires linux amd64 release tarball and checksum/digest.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Workflow dependency bottleneck identified with file/line refs.
+- [ ] Zuey asset requirement identified with file/line refs.
+- [ ] No overlapping active plan blocks this work.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: publishing partial prerelease could confuse consumers. Mitigation: follow-up job refreshes release assets/checksums and workflow stays failed if completion breaks.

+# Phase 2: Refactor dev beta workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+Refactor `.github/workflows/dev-beta-release.yaml` so the release needed by zuey is published before slow Docker multi-arch jobs finish.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: split amd64 release publishing from full artifact completion.
+- Non-functional: keep all current artifact families and registry publishing.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use two binary jobs:
+- `build_zuey_binary`: linux amd64 only, feeds the first prerelease publish.
+- `build_remaining_binaries`: linux arm64, feeds final release artifact completion.
+
+Keep Docker jobs parallel after `beta_version`. Keep `promote_beta_aliases` after Docker. Add a release completion job that re-uploads all binary assets and full `CHECKSUMS.sha256`.
+
+Move from workflow-level concurrency to job-level concurrency only where mutation ordering matters. Add stale beta tag guards before zuey deploy and beta alias promotion.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/dev-beta-release.yaml`
+- Modify: `docs/deployment-guide.md`
+- Modify: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Create: `scripts/ci/dev-beta-release-workflow.test.mjs`
+- Delete: none
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Rename/split existing `build_binaries` into amd64 fast job and remaining arch job.
+2. Change `publish_release.needs` to `[beta_version, build_zuey_binary]`.
+3. Download only `binary-linux-amd64` in `publish_release`.
+4. Add `complete_release_artifacts` needing `[beta_version, publish_release, build_zuey_binary, build_remaining_binaries]`.
+5. Keep `docker_images` and `promote_beta_aliases` unchanged except not gating deploy.
+6. Keep `deploy_zuey_beta.needs` as `[beta_version, publish_release]`.
+7. Remove top-level workflow concurrency; add job-level concurrency and stale-tag guard for deploy/alias mutation jobs.
+8. Update deployment docs and changelog for the new order.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] `deploy_zuey_beta` critical path excludes Docker jobs.
+- [ ] Full release upload still includes amd64 + arm64 tarballs and refreshed checksum.
+- [ ] Docker beta aliases still promote after multi-arch images.
+- [ ] Stale beta deploy/alias promotion is skipped.
+- [ ] No secret, branch, or repository guard is weakened.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: two jobs uploading to same release can race. Mitigation: `complete_release_artifacts` depends on `publish_release` and uses `gh release upload --clobber` after the fast publish.

+
+# Phase 3: Validate workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+Validate YAML syntax, dependency graph intent, and changed workflow blast radius.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: prove workflow file is syntactically valid and dependency graph matches acceptance.
+- Non-functional: avoid running heavy Docker builds locally.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Local validation is static because GitHub-hosted runner context/secrets are required for full execution.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Read: `.github/workflows/dev-beta-release.yaml`
+- Read: `docs/deployment-guide.md`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Parse workflow YAML with Ruby `YAML.safe_load` or available equivalent.
+2. Inspect changed job `needs` and artifact names.
+3. Add and run workflow-structure test for fast path, completion path, and stale guard.
+4. Run lightweight repo checks that do not require services when feasible.
+5. Ask tester/reviewer agents to validate regression risks.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] YAML parser accepts workflow.
+- [ ] Static grep confirms deploy depends only on fast release publish.
+- [ ] Node workflow-structure test passes.
+- [ ] Review finds no blocker for release/deploy contract.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: static validation misses GitHub expression mistakes. Mitigation: keep expressions simple and reuse existing artifact/action patterns.

+# Phase 4: Ship beta PR
+
+## Overview
+
+Ship the workflow refactor to `dev` via PR and preserve beta release observability.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: commit, push branch, create PR into `dev`, link issue #88.
+- Non-functional: do not merge automatically; beta workflow runs after PR merge to `dev`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use normal PR shipping. After merge, the first `dev` push is the real validation for zuey time-to-deploy and full artifact completion.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Commit: `.github/workflows/dev-beta-release.yaml`
+- Commit: `plans/260531-2101-issue-88-fast-zuey-beta-deploy-ci/*`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run final `git diff --check` and workflow validation.
+2. Commit with conventional message.
+3. Push `codex/issue-88-fast-zuey-beta-deploy-ci`.
+4. Create PR to `dev`, mention `Fixes #88`.
+5. Report post-merge watch command for first real beta run.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Branch pushed to origin.
+- [ ] PR opened against `dev`.
+- [ ] PR body explains fast path and artifact completion path.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: `dev` workflow behavior cannot be fully proven before merge. Mitigation: PR includes expected job-order evidence and first-run watch steps.

+# Issue 88 fast zuey beta deploy CI
+
+## Overview
+
+Issue #88 reports 30-40m dev beta CI. Recent run `26713221199` spent ~24m in Docker multi-arch while zuey deploy waited behind Docker promotion. Zuey deploy only needs the GitHub Release linux amd64 tarball, verified by `scripts/zuey/goclaw-upgrade-release.sh`.
+
+Goal: optimize time-to-zuey deployed. Do not weaken Go/Web gates. Do not drop arm64, Docker `latest/full`, beta aliases, or checksums; only move them off the zuey critical path.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Scout and design](./phase-01-scout-and-design.md) | Completed |
+| 2 | [Refactor dev beta workflow](./phase-02-refactor-dev-beta-workflow.md) | Completed |
+| 3 | [Validate workflow](./phase-03-validate-workflow.md) | Completed |
+| 4 | [Ship beta PR](./phase-04-ship-beta-pr.md) | Completed |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Base branch: `origin/dev`
+- Primary files: `.github/workflows/dev-beta-release.yaml`, this plan
+- GitHub issue: `digitopvn/goclaw#88`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `deploy_zuey_beta` no longer waits for `docker_images` or `promote_beta_aliases`.
+- Workflow-level concurrency no longer serializes a new dev push behind slow artifact completion from the previous push.
+- Zuey deploy and Docker beta alias promotion skip stale beta tags instead of rolling back to an older tag.
+- The prerelease is published with `goclaw-${TAG}-linux-amd64.tar.gz` and `CHECKSUMS.sha256` before deploy.
+- Linux arm64 binary, multi-arch Docker `latest/full`, and beta aliases still run after `beta_version` and keep workflow failure visible if broken.
+- Workflow YAML parses and preserves repo guard `github.repository == 'digitopvn/goclaw'`.
+- PR targets `dev` and links issue #88.

+### CI/CD: zuey release asset race fix
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Made release artifact completion wait for zuey beta deploy before refreshing GitHub Release assets with `--clobber`.
+- Prevents the VPS upgrade script from seeing `linux amd64 release asset not found` while another workflow job is replacing the same asset.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Updated the dev beta workflow structure test to lock the deploy-before-completion dependency.

+### Reasoning Delivery
+
+Telegram channel config supports explicit reasoning delivery:
+
+| `reasoning_delivery` | Behavior |
+|----------------------|----------|
+| `streaming_only` | Legacy behavior. Show model reasoning only in the live streaming lane. |
+| `always_bubbles` | Force provider streaming internally and send reasoning as bounded channel bubbles, even when `dm_stream` / `group_stream` are off. |
+| `off` | Suppress reasoning output in the channel. Traces and provider usage remain unaffected. |
+
+Backward compatibility: if `reasoning_delivery` is missing, legacy `reasoning_stream=false` resolves to `off`; otherwise it resolves to `streaming_only`. Explicit `reasoning_delivery` always wins over the legacy boolean. Reasoning bubbles are delivery-only messages and are not added to assistant history.

 **Multi-attachment coalescing (#63).** Messages carrying attachments do NOT bypass the debouncer — that pre-fix shortcut was the source of N-replies for one user action. Instead, when media is present the effective window is `max(configured, mediaFloor)` so multi-file uploads land in the same buffer and flush together. Three surfaces apply the same invariant:

+### Channel Delivery
+
+Provider streaming and channel streaming are separate decisions. A channel may request provider streaming only to receive reasoning events, while still delivering the final answer as a normal non-streamed message.
+
+Telegram exposes this through `reasoning_delivery`:
+
+| Mode | Channel output |
+|------|----------------|
+| `streaming_only` | Show reasoning only when `dm_stream` / `group_stream` is enabled. |
+| `always_bubbles` | Force provider streaming and flush reasoning into bounded channel bubbles. |
+| `off` | Do not show reasoning in channel messages. |
+
+`reasoning_stream=false` remains a legacy alias for `off` when no explicit mode is present. The bubble path is not persisted as assistant history; it is only a channel delivery surface.
+
 ### Token Estimation
 
 Thinking tokens are estimated as `character_count / 4` for context window tracking. This rough estimate ensures the agent loop can account for thinking overhead when calculating context usage.

+### Telegram Show Reasoning delivery modes (issues #132, #133)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Added `reasoning_delivery=streaming_only|always_bubbles|off` with backward compatibility for legacy `reasoning_stream`.
+- HTTP and WebSocket channel-instance writes normalize explicit `reasoning_delivery` over legacy `reasoning_stream`.
+- `always_bubbles` forces provider streaming internally so reasoning can be delivered as bounded channel bubbles even when Telegram live streaming is disabled.
+- Stream-path final `resp.Thinking` is now emitted when no thinking chunk arrived during the stream.
+- Terminal channel events preserve interim delivery state until the consumer reads the final dedup snapshot.
+
+**UI**
+
+- Web and desktop channel settings now expose Show Reasoning as a mode selector instead of a streaming-only boolean.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added channel delivery, config resolution, and agent stream final-thinking coverage.

Subject: [PATCH 055/105] fix(security): consolidate & enhance batched security
 fixes (#1155, #967, #972, #974, #989, #973) (#1185)

* fix(sandbox): avoid shell in FsBridge writes

Replace sh -c with interpolated path by shell-free 'tee -- <path>' argv form,
piping content via stdin. Prevents command injection through filenames
containing shell metacharacters inside the sandbox container.

Co-authored-by: evgyur <evgyur@gmail.com>

* fix(security): fail-closed on pairing DB errors across channels

On IsPaired lookup error, deny instead of granting access. Covers the shared
CheckDMPolicy/CheckGroupPolicy helpers (Slack/Discord/Feishu/WhatsApp/Zalo) and
the four inline Telegram pairing checks.

Co-authored-by: Srini <srinis.k@gmail.com>

* fix(security): harden provider URL validation against SSRF

Enforce scheme check for all provider types; restrict local types (ollama,
claude_cli, acp) to an explicit localhost allowlist instead of skipping checks;
resolve remote hostnames and reject any IP in a private/reserved range via the
shared security.IsBlocked CIDR list (covers loopback, link-local, metadata,
multicast, and unspecified 0.0.0.0/::). Closes the wildcard-DNS bypass and the
local-type escape hatch. Operator opt-in via GOCLAW_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS.

Exports security.IsBlocked as the single source of truth for blocked ranges.

Co-authored-by: Linh Vo Van <linh.vo@e-cq.net>

* feat(pipeline): add fail-closed tool call authorization gate

Gate tool execution against the server-side AllowedTools allowlist built from the
RBAC/tenant-aware filtered tool set. Resolve the tool-call prefix before the
allowlist lookup so prefixed agents are not wrongly blocked, re-check deny on lazy
MCP activation, and expand IsDenied to cover aliased tool names.

Co-authored-by: Huy Doan <tui@pm.me>

* fix(security): expand file-serve deny-list defense-in-depth

Add absolute-path deny prefixes (/home, /Users, /srv, /var/lib, /var/www, /opt)
and an explicit fail-closed log when no file-serving boundary is configured.

Co-authored-by: Linh Vo Van <linh.vo@e-cq.net>

* fix(providers): allow claude cli executable paths

Subject: [PATCH 056/105] fix(providers): omit temperature for Claude
 Opus/Sonnet 4.6+ (#1180)

Anthropic returns HTTP 400 when temperature is sent to claude-opus-4-6,
claude-sonnet-4-6, and newer 4.x models. Agent summoning and chat both
hardcode temperature; skip the field for affected model IDs.

 ### Changed
 
+- **Config Behavior explanations** — Adds purpose tooltips for Tool Status
+  Messages, Intermediate Replies, and Quick Acknowledgement so admins can
+  distinguish debug progress, natural intermediate updates, and receipt-only
+  acknowledgement behavior in the web UI.
+
 - **ChatGPT Subscription (OAuth)** — default model and backend-owned model catalog
   now prefer `gpt-5.5`, with reasoning metadata and context-window defaults updated
   for provider-first model selection.

 ## Acceptance Criteria
 
-- [ ] Ack sends only for non-streaming channel runs when enabled and gate passes.
-- [ ] Ack does not send for Web UI, streaming channel runs, disabled config, silent replies, or quick-complete runs.
-- [ ] Final split sends at most configured max messages, with configured delay between extra messages.
-- [ ] Splitter preserves fenced code, quotes, tables, lists, structured JSON/YAML/XML, links, and short messages.
-- [ ] Global gateway and per-channel config override resolution is deterministic and tested.
-- [ ] Preview API returns ack decision and split parts without sending messages.
-- [ ] Dashboard exposes global controls and per-channel overrides with i18n in en/vi/zh.
-- [ ] No schema/timeline persistence added; no issue #76 file overlap except references.

Subject: [PATCH 062/105] Fix/pipeline compaction pending loss (#1182)

* fix(pipeline): preserve pending messages during compaction

When PruneStage or ThinkStage triggers mid-loop compaction,
ReplaceHistory() clears the pending buffer. If the current
iteration's assistant(tool_calls) message is in pending, it gets
discarded. The next iteration then sends tool-result messages
without a preceding tool_calls message, causing DeepSeek/OpenAI
to reject the request with HTTP 400:

  Messages with role 'tool' must be a response to a preceding
  message with 'tool_calls'

Fix: save pending before ReplaceHistory and restore it after.

Reproduction:
- Agent with 64K context window
- 4-5 consecutive tool calls (e.g. read_file) in one session
- Token count exceeds soft budget during ToolStage
- PruneStage compaction clears pending including assistant(tool_calls)
- Next iteration fails with HTTP 400

* test(pipeline): regression guards for pending preservation during compaction

Add focused unit tests covering both ReplaceHistory call sites that previously
dropped the pending buffer:

- PruneStage mid-loop compaction must preserve the in-flight
  assistant(tool_calls) message so tool_calls -> tool_result pairing survives,
  preventing the OpenAI/DeepSeek 400 on the next provider call.
- ThinkStage emergency overflow compaction must preserve already-staged pending
  messages (e.g. iteration-budget nudges) across the retry.

Both tests fail without the preservation fix and pass with it.

   agent run regardless of how the platform delivers attachments:

 **Fixes**
 
-- Intermediate Replies now guarantees a pre-tool announcement when the model
-  requests tools without assistant text, or with text that does not name the
-  tools. The fallback uses sanitized tool names only and is tagged as
-  `tool_announcement`.
+- Intermediate Replies now preserve natural assistant progress text as-is
+  instead of appending a deterministic tool-name sentence.
+- Empty-content tool calls no longer emit synthetic server-generated
+  Intermediate Reply bubbles. This prevents repeated template messages and
+  keeps visible progress model-generated.
+- Tool-call progress keeps the `tool_announcement` source when the model does
+  provide assistant text, so Quick acknowledgement suppression still treats it
+  as explicit progress.
+- The full-mode system prompt now tells the LLM to write any short progress
+  sentence naturally in the user's language and to describe user-visible action
+  instead of internal tool names.
 - Quick acknowledgement off still suppresses generic first acknowledgements,
-  but no longer suppresses explicit tool announcements.
+  but no longer suppresses explicit model-generated tool progress.
 
 **Tests**
 
-- Added pipeline coverage for empty-content tool calls and channel coverage for
-  `tool_announcement` delivery when Quick acknowledgement is off.
+- Added pipeline coverage for empty-content tool calls so they do not emit
+  template `block.reply` messages.
+- Added prompt coverage for natural, user-language progress guidance.

+  acknowledgement is off.

Subject: [PATCH 065/105] feat(channels): add sidecar delivery behavior
 overrides

Closes #144.

- Retire user-facing Tool Status Messages and deterministic tool-status channel text.
- Add sidecar-generated Quick Acknowledgement and Intermediate Replies with provider/model/timeout/token/char caps.
- Resolve delivery behavior as Channel > Agent > Workspace with agent overrides in other_config.delivery_behavior.
- Preserve legacy block_reply defaults for Intermediate Replies.

-  distinguish debug progress, natural intermediate updates, and receipt-only
-  acknowledgement behavior in the web UI.
+- **Behavior UX simplification** — Retires user-facing Tool Status Messages and
+  deterministic tool-status channel text. Show Reasoning remains separate for
+  debugging/testing, while Quick Acknowledgement and Intermediate Replies are
+  delivery-only sidecar messages. Legacy `block_reply` config remains readable
+  as an inherited Intermediate Replies default but is no longer exposed as a
+  separate Web UI control.

 ### Fixed
 
-- **Intermediate Replies are model-generated** — Tool-call progress no longer
-  appends fixed "I'll use ..." text or emits synthetic fallback bubbles when the
-  model returns tool calls without assistant text. The system prompt now nudges
-  the model to write any short progress sentence naturally in the user's
-  language without mentioning internal tool names.
+- **Quick Acknowledgement generated mode** — Generated acknowledgements now use
+  the sidecar delivery generator instead of always falling back to fixed
+  templates. Sidecar failures stay non-blocking and fall back to templates.
+
+- **Intermediate Replies are sidecar-generated** — Tool-call progress no longer
+  appends fixed "I'll use ..." text or relies on main-pipeline assistant content.
+  Visible progress is generated from bounded delivery metadata and is kept out
+  of session history.
 
 - **Multi-attachment messages no longer trigger N agent replies (#63).**

+text is not added to session history or the main provider messages.
 
-- `quick_ack.mode = "llm_generated"` uses the existing main-turn `block.reply` event as the natural progress response for non-streaming channel runs. It does not make a separate LLM call.
-- `quick_ack.templates` are fallback messages. In generated mode, the first template is sent only if no generated `block.reply` arrives before `quick_ack.min_delay_ms`.
-- `quick_ack.mode = "fixed_template"` preserves the older fixed-template acknowledgement behavior.
-- `quick_ack.mode = "off"` disables chat-behavior quick acknowledgement. When explicit `gateway.block_reply` is on, the first generic pre-tool `block.reply` is treated as the immediate acknowledgement and suppressed; model-generated tool progress still delivers before tool execution because it is part of Intermediate Replies.
-- If a model requests tools without assistant text, the pipeline does not emit a synthetic Intermediate Reply. This avoids repetitive server templates; visible progress messages come from the LLM and should match the user's language.
-- `final_split` splits long final text replies into a bounded number of paragraph messages.
-- Per-channel `chat_behavior` overrides inherit the gateway config unless a field is explicitly set.
+- `quick_ack` sends one short receipt for non-streaming channel runs.

+  `mode="llm_generated"` is kept as a backward-compatible alias;
+  `mode="fixed_template"` sends the first template; `mode="off"` disables it.
+- `quick_ack.provider/model` can choose a cheaper sidecar provider/model. If
+  unset, the delivery generator falls back to the agent provider/model. Timeout,
+  max token, and max char limits bound the call; templates are fallback output on
+  errors, timeouts, or empty sidecar text.
+- `intermediate_replies` sends sidecar-generated progress during tool phases. It
+  is independent from `quick_ack`: either feature can be enabled or disabled
+  alone.
+- Sidecar progress uses bounded delivery metadata only: message preview, locale,
+  channel/peer, agent label, and tool phase. It does not receive session
+  history, tool arguments, tool output, tool schemas, memory, or system prompts.
+- Deterministic Tool Status Messages no longer emit channel text. Platform
+  reactions and explicit Show Reasoning delivery remain separate behavior.
+- `final_split` splits long final text replies into a bounded number of
+  paragraph messages.
+- Override order is Channel > Agent > Workspace. Agent overrides live in
+  `agents.other_config.delivery_behavior`; channel overrides continue under
+  `chat_behavior`.
+- Legacy `gateway.block_reply` and channel `block_reply` values are still read
+  as inherited `intermediate_replies.enabled` defaults when the newer
+  `chat_behavior.intermediate_replies.enabled` field is unset.
 
 Splitting is intentionally conservative. Replies containing fenced code, tables, lists, quotes, JSON/XML-ish blocks, or URL-only paragraphs remain a single message. Media replies and streaming deliveries are not split.

+### Behavior UX sidecar delivery overrides (issue #144)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Removed user-facing Tool Status Messages from Behavior settings and disabled
+  deterministic tool-status channel text.
+- Added sidecar-generated Quick Acknowledgement and Intermediate Replies with
+  optional provider/model, timeout, token, and char caps.
+- Added Channel > Agent > Workspace delivery-behavior resolution. Agent
+  overrides use `other_config.delivery_behavior` without a schema migration.
+- Kept legacy `block_reply` readable as a default for Intermediate Replies while
+  removing its separate Web UI controls.
+- Kept Show Reasoning as a separate debug/testing feature.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added config resolution coverage for Channel > Agent > Workspace and Quick
+  Ack independent from Intermediate Replies.
+- Added channel event coverage for sidecar quick ack, sidecar tool progress, and
+  retired tool-status messages.
+- Added Web UI schema coverage for sidecar delivery override fields.

+
+# Phase 1: Characterization and Contract Tests
+
+## Overview
+
+Add failing tests before changing runtime behavior. This phase locks the current
+surfaces and proves the target contract: no tool-status messages, deterministic
+override order, and no context pollution from delivery-only messages.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: characterize existing Workspace and Channel behavior resolution.
+- Functional: define expected Agent override behavior before implementation.
+- Functional: prove Quick Ack and Intermediate Replies resolve independently.
+- Functional: prove Quick Ack and Intermediate Replies are delivery events, not
+  persisted session messages or main-provider messages.
+- Functional: characterize the current Quick Ack bug: `llm_generated` mode does
+  not call an LLM today and only falls back to template delivery.
+- Non-functional: tests must be deterministic and must not call real providers.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use package-level unit tests around existing resolver/event boundaries:
+`internal/channels/chat_behavior.go`, `internal/channels/events.go`, and
+`cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go`. Add fake provider/generator interfaces only
+inside tests until the implementation phase introduces the real seam. Include a
+fake tenant-aware provider registry because configured sidecar provider names
+cannot be exercised through the current `ConsumerDeps` shape.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_events_test.go`
+- Create: `cmd/gateway_consumer_behavior_test.go`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-schemas.test.ts`
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-chat-card.tsx` tests if a
+  local test file already exists; otherwise defer UI assertions to phase 5.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add resolver tests for `Channel > Agent > Workspace` with all three layers
+   setting conflicting Quick Ack and Intermediate Replies values.
+2. Add a test proving unset Agent behavior inherits Workspace and Channel still
+   wins when both Agent and Channel are set.
+3. Add tests proving Quick Ack can be disabled while Intermediate Replies stay
+   enabled, and the reverse.
+4. Add a characterization test proving current `llm_generated` Quick Ack does
+   not call a provider, so phase 3 must add the sidecar path rather than only
+   changing labels.
+5. Add event tests proving a sidecar-generated Quick Ack publishes exactly one
+   outbound message and cancels on sidecar or final delivery.
+6. Add a test proving sidecar Quick Ack failure or timeout falls back to the
+   configured template without blocking the main run.
+7. Add a history/context test around the main inbound path proving visible
+   ack/progress text does not enter `SessionStore` history or either the main
+   provider request messages.
+8. Add a provider-resolution test proving explicit delivery provider/model beats
+   the agent provider/model and falls back when unset.
+9. Add a tool-status retirement test proving tool calls no longer emit
+   placeholder `formatToolStatus()` messages.
+10. Add UI schema and form-serializer tests proving channel schemas include
+    Quick Ack and Intermediate Reply override fields, preserve nested
+    provider/model/timeout values, and do not expose Tool Status.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tests fail for Agent override support before phase 2.
+- [x] Tests fail for sidecar Quick Ack before phase 3.
+- [x] Tests fail for sidecar Intermediate Replies before phase 3.
+- [x] Tests fail when Quick Ack and Intermediate Replies are accidentally
+      coupled through the same `quick_ack.enabled` gate.
+- [x] Tests fail for tool-status message retirement before phase 4.
+- [x] No test requires a live LLM provider, network, or zuey access.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+The main risk is writing tests against invented helper APIs. Keep tests anchored
+to existing public functions first, then introduce small interfaces only where
+the implementation needs them.

+# Phase 2: Config Resolution and Storage Contract
+
+## Overview
+
+Define the durable config contract for Workspace, Agent, and Channel behavior.
+Keep existing channel and workspace keys backward-compatible while adding a
+typed agent override envelope that can live in `agents.other_config`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: resolve Intermediate Replies and Quick Ack independently by
+  `Channel > Agent > Workspace`.
+- Functional: support provider/model settings for generated Quick Ack and
+  generated Intermediate Replies.
+- Functional: keep existing `gateway.block_reply`, `gateway.chat_behavior`,
+  channel `block_reply`, and channel `chat_behavior` readable.
+- Non-functional: avoid DB migration unless tests prove `other_config` is not
+  enough.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add a small delivery behavior resolver instead of widening unrelated channel
+code. Do not hang Intermediate Replies under `quick_ack`: current
+`ShouldDeliverGeneratedProgress()` is quick-ack-gated, so the new contract must
+make the two features independent. Recommended agent `other_config` contract:
+
+```json
+{
+  "delivery_behavior": {
+    "intermediate_replies": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "mode": "sidecar_generated",
+      "provider": "groq",
+      "model": "llama-3.1-8b-instant",
+      "timeout_ms": 2500,
+      "max_tokens": 60,
+      "max_chars": 180
+    },
+    "quick_ack": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "mode": "sidecar_generated",
+      "provider": "groq",
+      "model": "llama-3.1-8b-instant",
+      "min_delay_ms": 1000,
+      "timeout_ms": 2500,
+      "max_tokens": 40,
+      "max_chars": 120,
+      "templates": ["Got it. Working on it..."]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Backward compatibility mapping:
+- `gateway.block_reply` and channel `block_reply` become the inherited
+  `intermediate_replies.enabled` default.
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.quick_ack` and channel `chat_behavior.quick_ack`
+  become the inherited `quick_ack` default.
+- `gateway.chat_behavior.final_split` remains final-answer splitting and should
+  not be bundled into the new Agent override unless implementation tests require
+  it.
+
+Agent DB rows should parse this from `AgentData.OtherConfig`. Config-file agents
+may use `AgentSpec.DeliveryBehavior` only if the config loader path needs
+first-class support.

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add `DeliveryModeSidecarGenerated` for generated delivery, while keeping
+   legacy quick-ack modes `llm_generated`, `fixed_template`, and `off` readable.
+2. Add `IntermediateRepliesConfig` and `QuickAckConfig` provider/model/timeout
+   fields or a shared nested generator object; choose the smaller shape during
+   implementation.
+3. Add `DeliveryBehaviorConfig` or equivalent resolver input for
+   `IntermediateReplies + QuickAck`.
+4. Add `ParseDeliveryBehaviorConfig()` on `AgentData` for
+   `other_config.delivery_behavior`.
+5. Add resolver function that accepts workspace, agent, and channel configs and
+   applies them in that exact order.
+6. Update channel manager APIs so callers can pass the already-resolved result
+   instead of letting channel manager know only workspace/channel.
+7. Remove/generated-progress coupling to `quick_ack.enabled`; tests must prove
+   the two feature toggles are independent.
+8. Document backward compatibility and the new agent override JSON shape.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Unit tests prove Channel > Agent > Workspace for both `block_reply` and
+      `quick_ack`.
+- [x] Unit tests prove Intermediate Replies can be on while Quick Ack is off.
+- [x] Missing agent config has no behavior change.
+- [x] Existing channel `chat_behavior` configs still parse and resolve.
+- [x] Invalid/unknown Quick Ack mode normalizes to a safe default.
+- [x] No migration is added unless an implementation blocker is documented.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: adding a generic config type can sprawl into final split, reasoning, or
+other channel settings. Keep this plan scoped to Intermediate Replies and Quick
+Ack; final split can keep existing behavior unless a regression test forces it.

+
+# Phase 3: Sidecar Delivery Message Generator
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement a sidecar LLM generator for Quick Acknowledgement and Intermediate
+Replies. It must be cheap, bounded, language-aware, and completely separate
+from the main session context.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: generated delivery text can use configured provider/model,
+  falling back to agent provider/model when unset.
+- Functional: output follows the user's language and is natural, not tool-name
+  based.
+- Functional: timeout/error falls back to configured template.
+- Non-functional: max output tokens, timeout, prompt size, and final chars are
+  bounded.
+- Non-functional: no tools, no session history, no main RunRequest.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use an injected generator interface in channel runtime:
+
+```go
+type DeliveryMessageGenerator interface {
+  GenerateDeliveryMessage(ctx context.Context, req DeliveryMessageRequest) (string, error)
+}
+```
+
+The implementation can live outside provider-agnostic channel logic and call
+`providers.Provider.Chat` directly with a tiny prompt, similar to
+`agent.ClassifyIntentWithUsageCaps`. The request should include only: user
+message preview, locale, peer kind, channel type, agent display name, and max
+length, and purpose (`quick_ack` or `intermediate_progress`). For intermediate
+progress, include only bounded tool-phase metadata such as tool category/count
+or elapsed time; do not include raw tool arguments or tool output. Do not include
+session history, tool schemas, system prompt, or memory.
+
+Provider resolution must be explicit:
+- Add a small provider resolver dependency to the consumer/channel seam. Current
+  `ConsumerDeps` has no provider registry, while `providers.Registry.Get(ctx,
+  name)` already supports tenant-aware lookup.
+- Resolve sidecar provider/model once at run registration:
+  configured provider/model > agent provider/model.
+- Store the resolved provider handle/model or a tiny generator closure on the
+  run snapshot; channel event handling should not perform mutable config lookup.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Create: `internal/channels/delivery_message_generator.go` or
+  `internal/agent/delivery_message_generator.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/events.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/manager.go`
+- Modify: `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go`
+- Modify: `cmd/gateway_consumer_deps.go`
+- Modify: `cmd/gateway_consumer.go`
+- Modify: `cmd/gateway_lifecycle.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/intent_classify.go` only if sharing tiny-call helper
+  code is cleaner than duplicating request boilerplate.
+- Modify: tracing/usage caps integration only if existing provider calls require
+  accounting.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a fake-generator test seam first; do not import provider registry into
+   tests that only need channel behavior.
+2. Implement sidecar prompts with strict output contracts:
+   one short acknowledgement/progress update, same language as user, no raw tool
+   names, no promises, no markdown table, no more than configured chars.
+3. Thread provider registry into `ConsumerDeps` from `gatewayRuntime`, then
+   resolve sidecar provider/model at run registration from delivery config:
+   explicit provider/model > agent provider/model.
+4. Call generator from `scheduleQuickAck` after `min_delay_ms`; guard with the
+   same cancellation and `blockReplySent` checks as current template ack.
+5. On error, timeout, empty output, or unsafe output, send the first configured
+   template when templates are present.
+6. For tool-call progress, generate sidecar text from the delivery request and
+   publish it as delivery-only content. Do not use `resp.Content` from
+   `ThinkStage` as the sidecar message because that content is appended to main
+   run messages for tool-call continuity.
+7. Record logs/tracing metadata as delivery purpose, but do not create a chat
+   session message.
+8. Keep legacy `llm_generated` behavior as an alias or fallback only if needed
+   for existing configs; the UI should prefer `sidecar_generated`.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Sidecar generated ack sends before the main run finishes when delay
+      elapses.
+- [x] Sidecar intermediate progress sends on bounded tool phases.
+- [x] Sidecar delivery uses configured provider/model in tests.
+- [x] Sidecar provider resolution uses tenant-aware registry lookup when a
+      provider is configured, and uses agent provider/model when unset.
+- [x] Sidecar failure falls back or suppresses without failing the user request.
+- [x] No sidecar prompt contains session history or tool schemas.
+- [x] No sidecar prompt contains raw tool arguments or tool output.
+- [x] Generated text is sanitized and max-length bounded before outbound send.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: sidecar ack increases cost and provider pressure. Mitigate with disabled
+default behavior, low token cap, short timeout, and template fallback.

+# Phase 4: Runtime Delivery and Context Isolation
+
+## Overview
+
+Wire the new resolved behavior into channel runs, retire deterministic tool
+status messages, and prove delivery-only messages cannot pollute main context.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: apply resolved behavior before `RegisterRunWithBehavior`.
+- Functional: Intermediate Replies and Quick Ack obey Channel > Agent >
+  Workspace.
+- Functional: Tool Status Messages no longer emit channel text.
+- Functional: Intermediate Reply sidecar delivery does not reuse main
+  `block.reply` `resp.Content`.
+- Non-functional: no new goroutine leaks; timers cancel on terminal events.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The main inbound path already resolves channel streaming and registers run state
+in `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go:204` and `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go:245`.
+Extend that point to parse agent override from `agentLoop.OtherConfig()` and
+build a single resolved delivery behavior snapshot for the run. Also thread the
+tenant-aware provider registry into `ConsumerDeps`; the current dependency bag
+cannot resolve a configured sidecar provider name.
+
+Keep outbound event handling in `internal/channels/events.go`, but add a
+delivery event path that is separate from main-pipeline `block.reply` content.
+Do not push delivery-only text into `pipeline.RunState.Messages` or
+`sessions.Manager`.

+- Modify: `internal/channels/runs.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/events.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/chat_behavior_events_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go` only if adding a sidecar-trigger
+  event requires a clearer separation from legacy `block.reply`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Parse agent delivery override from `agentLoop.OtherConfig()` before
+   run registration.
+2. Replace current `ResolveBlockReply(channel, gateway)` and
+   `ResolveChatBehavior(channel, gateway)` usage with a single resolver that
+   includes agent override.
+3. Resolve sidecar provider/model with tenant context before run registration
+   and pass the resolved generator metadata into `RegisterRunWithBehavior`.
+4. Replace generated intermediate delivery that depends on `block.reply`
+   `resp.Content` with a sidecar delivery trigger on bounded tool phases.
+5. Keep legacy explicit `block_reply` compatible when users rely on main LLM
+   progress text, but default/generated Intermediate Replies should use
+   sidecar delivery only.
+6. Retire tool-status message output by removing or hard-disabling the
+   `rc.ToolStatusEnabled && !rc.Streaming` publish path.
+7. Keep reaction statuses for channels that support reactions; these are not
+   Tool Status Messages and are less intrusive.
+8. Ensure terminal events cancel Quick Ack timers and sidecar generation cannot
+   publish after run unregister.
+9. Add context isolation tests proving visible ack/intermediate outbound text
+   does not change session history or provider request messages.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Channel-level false disables Agent/Workspace-enabled Quick Ack.
+- [x] Agent-level true enables behavior when Workspace is disabled and Channel
+      inherits.
+- [x] Workspace still controls defaults when Agent and Channel inherit.
+- [x] Quick Ack disabled does not disable Intermediate Replies, and Intermediate
+      Replies disabled does not disable Quick Ack.
+- [x] Sidecar Intermediate Reply content is not equal to `resp.Content` from
+      tool-call assistant messages unless a fake generator intentionally returns
+      that value.
+- [x] Tool calls no longer publish deterministic status text.
+- [x] Existing Show Reasoning bubble behavior still works.
+- [x] Existing final answer dedup for block replies still works.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: removing tool-status messages might also remove useful placeholder cleanup.
+Verify empty final outbound and stream finalization still clean placeholders.

+# Phase 5: Web UI Behavior Simplification
+
+## Overview
+
+Update Web UI so users see one coherent Behavior model: Workspace defaults,
+Agent overrides, and Channel overrides. Remove Tool Status Messages from
+Config > Behavior.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: Config > Behavior no longer shows Tool Status Messages.
+- Functional: Config > Behavior still controls Workspace Intermediate Replies
+  and Quick Ack defaults.
+- Functional: Agent advanced settings expose inherit/custom override for
+  Intermediate Replies and Quick Ack.
+- Functional: Channel settings expose the same override fields and provider/model
+  options for Quick Ack and Intermediate Replies.
+- Non-functional: all user-facing strings have en/vi/zh translations.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use existing UI patterns:
+- Workspace behavior card: `ui/web/src/pages/config/sections/behavior-*.tsx`.
+- Agent advanced dialog: `ui/web/src/pages/agents/agent-detail/`.
+- Channel config schema: `ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-schemas.ts`.
+- Existing channel schema already has `chat_behavior.quick_ack.*` override fields
+  but lacks provider/model controls and still describes generated mode as
+  "main LLM block reply".
+- Channel create/edit forms flatten nested keys, delete `"inherit"`, and coerce
+  string booleans in `channel-instance-form-dialog.tsx`; new nested delivery
+  fields need serializer tests, not schema-only tests.
+

+  extracted serializer helpers if implementation extracts them.
+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/config.json`

+- Modify: `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/channels.json`
+- Inspect: `ui/desktop/frontend/src/components/channels/channel-schemas.ts`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Remove `tool_status` from `BehaviorUxCard` UI state and save payload.
+2. Remove or hide `gateway.tool_status` from any other user-facing config
+   surface, including `system-settings-modal.tsx`.
+3. Keep backend accepting `gateway.tool_status` silently for backward
+   compatibility; do not expose it in Web UI.
+4. Add Quick Ack and Intermediate Reply provider/model fields to Workspace
+   behavior card with provider selectors where available.
+5. Add Agent "Delivery Behavior" section with Inherit/Custom mode and controls
+   for Intermediate Replies plus Quick Ack.
+6. Persist Agent overrides into `other_config.delivery_behavior` without
+   overwriting unrelated keys.
+7. Extend channel schema fields with provider/model/timeout/max token settings
+   for Quick Ack and Intermediate Replies.
+8. Update preview copy so generated delivery is described as sidecar-generated,
+   not "main LLM block reply".
+9. Add or update UI tests for schema normalization, flatten/unflatten payloads,
+   select coercion, and `other_config` merge behavior.
+10. Scout desktop channel schema. Either add matching fields or document why
+   desktop is out of scope for Standard channel settings.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tool Status Messages label no longer appears in Config > Behavior.
+- [x] `gateway.tool_status` is not exposed in any user-facing Web UI settings
+      surface.
+- [x] Agent UI can save inherit/custom behavior override without overwriting
+      unrelated `other_config` keys.
+- [x] Channel UI can save provider/model Quick Ack and Intermediate Reply
+      overrides with correct nested JSON.
+- [x] Workspace UI can save provider/model Quick Ack and Intermediate Reply
+      defaults.
+- [x] en/vi/zh locale keys are complete.
+- [x] Mobile layout keeps inputs at `text-base md:text-sm` where applicable.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: agent advanced payloads can overwrite unrelated `other_config`. Reuse the
+existing merge pattern used by inbound debounce and prompt settings; test it.

+# Phase 6: Validation and Zuey Beta Handoff
+
+## Overview
+
+Run the local and CI validation needed before shipping to `dev`, then verify the
+automatic beta release and zuey deploy.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: all backend and web checks relevant to channel behavior pass.
+- Functional: beta workflow completes after merge to `dev`.
+- Functional: zuey public health is verified after beta deploy.
+- Non-functional: do not expose zuey secrets in logs, docs, PR, or chat.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Use the repo's normal beta path: PR to `dev`, merge, `Dev CI and Beta Release`
+creates the beta tag and deploys zuey. Use JSON polling for late workflow jobs
+because `gh run watch` is noisy in this workflow family.
+
+## Related Code Files

+- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Modify: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- Modify: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Verify: `.github/workflows/dev-beta-release.yaml`
+- Verify: `scripts/ci/dev-beta-release-workflow.test.mjs`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run targeted Go tests:
+   `go test ./internal/channels ./internal/config ./cmd ./internal/agent ./internal/usage/caps`.
+2. Run SQLite-tag coverage for shared behavior:
+   `go test -tags sqliteonly ./internal/channels ./internal/config ./cmd`.
+3. Run broad compile checks:
+   `go build ./...`, `go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`, `go vet ./...`.
+4. Run web checks:
+   `cd ui/web && pnpm test -- --run && pnpm build`.
+5. If desktop schema changed, run:
+   `cd ui/desktop/frontend && pnpm build`.
+6. Update changelog/docs with the exact behavior contract and override order.
+7. Ship beta via PR to `dev`, then verify:
+   `gh run view <run-id> --repo digitopvn/goclaw --json status,conclusion,jobs`.
+8. Verify zuey after deploy:
+   `/opt/goclaw/current/goclaw version`, `systemctl is-active goclaw`,
+   local `/health`, and public `https://goclaw.zuey.me/health`.
+9. Smoke-test a channel with Workspace default, Agent override, and Channel
+   override to prove effective behavior.
+10. Smoke-test explicit sidecar provider/model by choosing a cheap provider and
+    verifying logs/traces show sidecar delivery purpose without adding delivery
+    text to session history.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Local targeted tests and builds pass.
+- [x] Web build passes.
+- [ ] PR checks pass.
+- [ ] Beta workflow conclusion is `success`.
+- [ ] New beta release tag is visible.
+- [ ] Zuey service is active and health returns `{"status":"ok","protocol":3}`.
+- [ ] Manual smoke confirms sidecar ack is visible but absent from session
+      history.
+- [ ] Manual smoke confirms sidecar intermediate reply is visible but absent from
+      session history and does not match main assistant tool-call content.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: zuey deploy can be healthy before Docker tail jobs finish. Do not report
+beta shipped until the whole workflow has `conclusion=success`.

+# Agent Behavior UX Overrides and Sidecar Delivery
+
+## Overview
+
+Simplify agent/channel Behavior UX after the Show Reasoning work: remove Tool
+Status Messages, generate delivery updates through an optional cheap sidecar
+provider/model, and add agent-level overrides.
+
+Product decisions:
+- Keep Show Reasoning separate for debugging/testing.
+- Retire Tool Status Messages as a message feature because it overlaps with
+  Intermediate Replies and deterministic tool-name text reads robotic.
+- Quick Acknowledgement and Intermediate Replies are channel delivery events
+  only; visible progress text must not be added to main session context.
+- Delivery updates may use a separate fast/cheap provider and model.
+- Override order is Channel > Agent > Workspace (`Config > Behavior`).
+- Prefer no DB migration: store agent overrides in `agents.other_config`.
+
+Verified current facts:
+- `ChatBehaviorConfig` and `QuickAckConfig` exist in
+  `internal/config/config_channels.go:3`; workspace `gateway.block_reply`,
+  `gateway.chat_behavior`, and `gateway.tool_status` are at
+  `internal/config/config_channels.go:407`.
+- Quick Ack currently schedules from channel events in
+  `internal/channels/events.go:42`; Intermediate Replies publish outbound
+  `block.reply` bubbles in `internal/channels/events.go:330`.
+- Channel registration currently resolves Channel > Workspace only at
+  `cmd/gateway_consumer_normal.go:245`.
+- `RunRequest` already has provider/model override fields in
+  `internal/agent/loop_types.go:621`, useful precedent for cheap side calls.
+- `ConsumerDeps` currently has no provider registry/store in
+  `cmd/gateway_consumer_deps.go:18`; configured sidecar provider names need a
+  new dependency path from `gatewayRuntime.providerRegistry`.
+- Current `llm_generated` Quick Ack does not call an LLM: `sendQuickAck()` sends
+  the first template from `internal/channels/events.go:471`, while
+  `ShouldDeliverGeneratedProgress()` is only a block.reply gate in
+  `internal/channels/chat_behavior.go:170`.
+- Current intermediate replies are main-pipeline `block.reply` events:
+  `ThinkStage` appends the assistant tool-call message to context at
+  `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go:136` before emitting block.reply at
+  `internal/pipeline/think_stage.go:147`.
+

+- [x] Tool Status Messages is no longer shown in `Config > Behavior`.
+- [x] Runtime no longer emits deterministic tool-status channel messages.
+- [x] Quick Ack and Intermediate Replies support sidecar provider/model output.
+- [x] Configured sidecar provider names resolve through the tenant-aware provider
+      registry, with agent provider/model fallback.
+- [x] Sidecar output is sent only as channel outbound events.
+- [x] Visible delivery text is never appended to session history or main LLM context.
+- [x] Channel overrides beat Agent overrides; Agent overrides beat Workspace.
+- [x] Existing channel overrides keep backward compatibility.
+- [x] Web UI exposes clear Workspace, Agent, and Channel behavior controls.
+- [ ] Validation includes local tests/build and zuey beta deploy verification.

+
+#### Accepted Finding Details
+
+1. **Configured sidecar provider cannot resolve from current consumer deps.**
+   `ConsumerDeps` exposes `UsageCaps` but not `ProviderReg` or `ProviderStore`
+   (`cmd/gateway_consumer_deps.go:18`), and `consumeInboundMessages` builds deps
+   without the registry (`cmd/gateway_consumer.go:48`). Yet provider registry
+   already supports tenant-aware lookup (`internal/providers/registry.go:119`).
+   The plan now requires threading `gatewayRuntime.providerRegistry` into the
+   consumer and tests proving explicit provider/model is actually used.
+2. **Intermediate Replies are still main-pipeline block.reply content.**
+   `ThinkStage` appends assistant tool-call content into run messages
+   (`internal/pipeline/think_stage.go:136`) before emitting block.reply
+   (`internal/pipeline/think_stage.go:147`). The plan now requires sidecar
+   intermediate delivery to be generated from delivery metadata/tool phase only,
+   not from `resp.Content`.
+3. **Quick Ack root cause is not characterized.** Current `sendQuickAck()` always
+   sends a template (`internal/channels/events.go:471`); `llm_generated` only
+   affects preview/progress gates (`internal/channels/chat_behavior.go:170`).
+   Phase 1 now locks this as a failing characterization test.
+4. **Intermediate Replies and Quick Ack are conflated.**
+   `ShouldDeliverGeneratedProgress()` requires `QuickAck.Enabled`
+   (`internal/channels/chat_behavior.go:170`), so disabling ack also disables
+   generated progress. The plan now separates `quick_ack` from
+   `intermediate_replies`.
+5. **UI schema changes need serializer tests.** Channel form coercion deletes
+   `"inherit"` and maps string booleans in `coerceSelects()`
+   (`ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-instance-form-dialog.tsx:137`), while the
+   schema currently stores nested keys like `chat_behavior.quick_ack.mode`
+   (`ui/web/src/pages/channels/channel-schemas.ts:37`). Phase 5 now tests
+   flatten/unflatten and coercion for provider/model/timeout fields.
+6. **Tool Status remains in another config UI surface.**
+   `system-settings-modal.tsx` still reads and saves `gateway.tool_status`
+   (`ui/web/src/components/layout/system-settings-modal.tsx:77` and `:135`).
+   Phase 5 now removes/hides all user-facing Tool Status controls, not only
+   `BehaviorUxCard`.
+
+#### Rejected Finding Details
+
+7. **`agentLoop.OtherConfig()` is fabricated.** Rejected: the method exists on
+   the `Agent` interface (`internal/agent/types.go:17`) and `Loop`
+   (`internal/agent/loop_tracing.go:36`).
+

Subject: [PATCH 069/105] fix: allow self-hosted Bitrix24 domains for portal
 registration

Split bitrixDomainRegex into bitrixCloudDomainRegex (cloud SaaS domains)
and selfHostedDomainRegex (custom FQDNs). Users can now register portals
with self-hosted Bitrix24 instances like bx.mycompany.com instead of
being restricted to *.bitrix24.{com,eu,...} domains.

- Add validateSelfHostedDomain() with SSRF protection (blocked CIDRs,
  hostname resolution, localhost/.local/.localhost rejection)
- Validate port range 1-65535 for self-hosted domains with ports
- Mirror SSRF + port validation in frontend form
- Add comprehensive tests: SSRF blocked IPs, invalid ports, valid public
domains

Subject: [PATCH 076/105] fix(bitrix): validate ALL resolved IPs for SSRF +
 stub DNS in tests
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Iterate over all DNS responses instead of just the first IP to prevent
  multi-IP SSRF bypass where a blocked IP appears after a public one
- Make resolver injectable via package-level lookupHost variable
- Replace real-DNS test (google.com) with stubbed resolver covering:
  single public/private IP, DNS failure, empty results, invalid IP,
  multi-IP public→private, private→public, all public, metadata IP,
  IPv6 loopback
- Add fmt import to test file for stubbed error messages

+# Secure CLI GitHub Credential Runtime Fix
+
+## Summary
+
+Fixed GitHub-related SecureCLI auth diagnostics for `git` and `gh` runtime
+commands linked to digitopvn/goclaw#138 and digitopvn/goclaw#151.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+- Adapter-managed `git` remote commands could reach raw Git when no typed PAT
+  or SSH credential was selected.
+- Required env validation only covered `rapidapi`, so credentialed `gh`
+  commands without `GH_TOKEN` could reach raw GitHub CLI auth guidance.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added fail-closed git credential readiness validation before adapter prepare.
+- Generalized required env checks to preset non-optional env vars.
+- Added regression tests for missing git typed credentials and missing
+  `GH_TOKEN`.
+- Updated git adapter docs and project changelog.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `/usr/local/go/bin/go test ./internal/tools`
+- `/usr/local/go/bin/go build ./...`
+- `/usr/local/go/bin/go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None.

+
+### Secure CLI GitHub credential runtime diagnostics (issues #138, #151)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Git remote commands now fail closed before raw `git` auth prompts when no
+  typed host-scoped PAT/SSH credential is selected.
+- Required SecureCLI env validation now applies to preset env vars such as
+  `GH_TOKEN`, so credentialed `gh` commands report missing credential config
+  instead of raw `gh auth login` guidance.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added regressions for `git push` without typed credentials and `gh` without
+  `GH_TOKEN`.

 `GET /v1/traces/follow` requires `session_key` or `agent_id`. Query params: `session_key`, `agent_id`, `status`, `channel`, `since` (RFC 3339), `limit` (default 50, max 200), `include_spans` (default false). Non-admin callers only see their own traces. When `since` is provided, the server returns traces matching existing filters and `(created_at > since OR end_time > since OR status = "running")`.

 ## 2026-06-11
 
+### Trace search and advanced filters (issue #152)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Extended `GET /v1/traces` with keyword search, partial Trace ID search, date
+  ranges, token ranges, tool-call filters, and agent/channel label search.
+- Added equivalent PostgreSQL and SQLite query-builder behavior with tenant
+  guards on joined channel/span search.
+- Added Web Traces search/filter controls with active filter chips.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added HTTP contract coverage for advanced trace filter parsing and user scope.
+- Added PostgreSQL and SQLite where-builder coverage for search, ranges, tool
+  filters, tenant predicates, and wildcard escaping.
+- Added Web filter serialization and trace i18n key coverage.
+
 ### Secure CLI GitHub credential runtime diagnostics (issues #138, #151)
 
 **Fixes**

+## 2026-06-12
+
+### Mid-flight request preservation (issue #137)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Busy-session `chat.send` follow-ups that arrive after a no-tool final answer
+  now force one more pipeline iteration instead of finalizing the earlier answer.
+- The earlier final answer is preserved as assistant context and the follow-up is
+  appended after it, so the next model turn can answer both accepted requests.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added pipeline regressions for late injected follow-ups after a final answer.

+
+By default, commands use the same local gateway config and
+`GOCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` behavior as existing admin commands. For remote
+operations, use explicit overrides:
+
+```bash
+goclaw --server https://goclaw.example.com --token "$GOCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN" traces get <trace-id> -o json
+```
+
+`--server` also applies to existing WebSocket/RPC-backed admin commands such as
+`sessions`, `cron`, and `pairing`. The URL can also come from `GOCLAW_SERVER`
+or `GOCLAW_GATEWAY_URL`; `--server` wins when both are set.
+
+The standalone `nextlevelbuilder/goclaw-cli` can remain a compatibility tool,
+but first-party trace operator workflows are now available from the main
+server/runtime binary.

 ## 2026-06-12
 
+### Operator trace CLI (issue #158)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Added first-class `goclaw traces` operator commands to the main binary:
+  `list`, `get`, `export`, `follow`, and `timeline`.
+- Added remote client overrides with `--server` and `--token`; trace commands
+  support trace-scoped output selection via `--output` / `-o`.
+- Shared the URL/token resolver with WebSocket/RPC-backed admin commands so
+  `sessions`, `cron`, and `pairing` can use the same remote gateway overrides.
+- Kept trace commands as thin wrappers over existing HTTP endpoints so the
+  server/runtime and operator CLI share one binary without new API contracts.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added command/client regressions for gateway URL and token overrides, trace
+  query serialization, follow scope validation, and timeline run ID handling.
+
 ### Mid-flight request preservation (issue #137)
 
 **Fixes**

 ## 2026-06-12
 
+### Skill lifecycle API and CLI (issue #159)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Added per-skill dependency scan/check/install endpoints and CLI commands.
+- Added access read/update, agent/user grant aliases, and effective-access
+  inspection for operator workflows.
+- Dependency status now reports system, pip, npm, and GitHub release deps in
+  structured output.
+- Skill user grants are now tenant-scoped so shared system skills can be
+  granted to the same user ID in different tenants without conflicts.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added HTTP, CLI, PostgreSQL, and SQLite coverage for dependency lifecycle,
+  access mode changes, grants, effective access, grant-driven visibility, and
+  tenant-scoped user grants.
+
 ### Mid-flight request preservation (issue #137)
 
 **Fixes**

+
+Skill self-evolution is tenant-scoped and off by default per skill. Usage

+execution and slash-command activation. There is no public usage-write endpoint.
+
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `GET` | `/v1/skills/{id}/evolution` | Read self-evolution settings for a skill |
+| `PATCH` | `/v1/skills/{id}/evolution` | Update enabled state or mode |
+| `GET` | `/v1/skills/{id}/metrics` | Read aggregate usage metrics and status counts |
+| `GET` | `/v1/skills/{id}/activity` | Read admin-only skill evolution activity |
+| `GET` | `/v1/skills/{id}/evolution/suggestions` | List skill-scoped improvement suggestions |
+| `POST` | `/v1/skills/{id}/evolution/suggestions` | Create a suggestion with evidence and draft patch |
+| `POST` | `/v1/skills/{id}/evolution/suggestions/{suggestionID}/approve` | Approve a suggestion |
+| `POST` | `/v1/skills/{id}/evolution/suggestions/{suggestionID}/reject` | Reject a suggestion |

+
+| Mode | Behavior |
+|------|----------|
+| `suggest_only` | Collect metrics and manage suggestions; no automatic patching |
+| `auto_analyze` | Reserved for analysis automation; patch application still requires explicit approval |
+
+Viewer/operator callers can read aggregate metrics. Raw activity details,
+actor IDs, failure evidence, draft patches, and suggestion apply actions remain
+admin-controlled. System skill mutation is blocked; custom skill suggestions
+write a new versioned directory and `skill_versions` record when applied.

+### 3.5 Skill Self-Evolution
+
+Skill self-evolution tracks how each existing skill performs over time. It is
+separate from agent-level `skill_evolve`, which teaches agents when to create or
+patch reusable skills.
+
+**Runtime recording**
+
+- `use_skill` tool calls record tenant-scoped usage with status `succeeded` or
+  `failed`, duration, session key, run/trace ID, agent ID, and user scope.
+- Slash-command activation records a `started` event when `/<slug>` or
+  `/use <skill>` resolves to a skill.
+- Usage writes are internal only. v1 intentionally has no public
+  `POST /v1/skills/{id}/usage` endpoint, so clients cannot forge success rates.
+
+**Persistent tables**
+
+| Table | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `skill_evolution_settings` | Per-tenant, per-skill enabled flag and mode |
+| `skill_usage_metrics` | Runtime usage events and status counts |
+| `skill_improvement_suggestions` | Skill-scoped suggestions with evidence and draft patches |
+| `skill_versions` | Immutable applied-version records linked to changed files and suggestions |
+
+**HTTP and CLI controls**
+
+- HTTP: `GET/PATCH /v1/skills/{id}/evolution`,
+  `GET /v1/skills/{id}/metrics`,
+  `GET /v1/skills/{id}/activity`, and suggestion approve/reject/apply endpoints.
+- CLI: `goclaw skills evolve`, `goclaw skills metrics`,
+  `goclaw skills suggestions`, and `goclaw skills activity`.
+- Web UI: Skill detail has an `evolution` tab for settings, metrics,
+  suggestions, and admin-visible activity.
+
+**Guardrails**
+
+- Default mode is `suggest_only`; no automatic patching happens in v1.
+- Applying a suggestion to a custom skill copies the current skill directory to
+  the next version, validates the target path, runs the SKILL.md guard scanner
+  when needed, updates the active skill, records `skill_versions`, and writes an
+  activity log entry.
+- System/bundled skill mutation is refused by the apply path.
+- Viewer surfaces are sanitized. Failure evidence, draft patches, actor IDs,
+  and activity details require admin visibility.
+
+**Relationship to self-improving skills**
+
+This v1 is the control-plane foundation for self-improving skills: runtime usage
+events, evidence-backed suggestions, reference-file patches, version records,
+and approval/audit surfaces. It does not yet run a consolidation extractor that
+turns repeated corrections into learning notes or auto-applies user-scoped
+reference overlays. That higher-level learning loop belongs above this
+foundation and must keep scope separation, private-content filtering, evidence
+thresholds, and owner/admin approval policies explicit.

 ## 2026-06-12
 
+### Skill self-evolution metrics and upgrades (issue #161, issue #142 foundation)
+
+**Features**
+
+- Added per-skill self-evolution settings, usage metrics, suggestions, immutable
+  applied-version records, and activity logs.
+- Added trusted runtime usage recording for `use_skill` and slash skill
+  activations without exposing a public usage-write endpoint.
+- Added skill evolution HTTP, CLI, and Web UI surfaces for settings, metrics,
+  suggestions, approval/apply actions, and admin-visible activity.
+- Added the shared foundation needed by self-improving skills: usage evidence,
+  reference-file patches, versioned apply, and approval/audit surfaces. The
+  consolidation learning extractor and auto user-scoped overlays remain out of
+  this v1 scope.
+
+**Safety**
+
+- Blocked direct system skill mutation in the suggestion apply path.
+- Reused a shared target-path validator for skill companion/reference patches.
+- Sanitized failure evidence, draft patches, actor IDs, and activity details
+  away from non-admin surfaces.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added focused skill path validator coverage and deep-link coverage for the new
+  Web UI evolution tab.

+
+Agent tools can queue media files through `Result.Media`; the consumer converts
+those entries into `OutboundMessage.Media` and preserves file order, MIME type,
+filename, and optional captions.
+
+- `send_file` accepts either the legacy single `path` + optional `caption`, or
+  `attachments: [{path, caption?}, ...]` for batch delivery of existing
+  workspace files.
+- Telegram groups compatible outbound media into `sendMediaGroup` album chunks
+  of 2-10 items. Photo/video items can share a chunk; documents group only with
+  documents; audio groups only with audio. Voice-mode audio, singleton chunks,
+  oversized images sent as documents, and incompatible runs use the existing
+  ordered single-send fallback.
+- Discord already sends multiple files plus optional text in one message.
+- Slack and other media-capable channels keep ordered fallback behavior unless
+  their adapter advertises a stronger batch capability.

 ### Reasoning Delivery
 
 Telegram channel config supports explicit reasoning delivery:

+- Extended `send_file` with `attachments[]` so agents can queue multiple

+  chunks, plus ordered fallback for singleton, voice, oversized-image, or mixed
+  incompatible cases.
+- Added explicit channel batch capability metadata for Telegram, Discord, and
+  ordered fallback channels.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added batch `send_file` regressions for happy path, duplicate rejection, and
+  all-or-nothing delivered-state handling.
+- Added Telegram media-group chunking tests for compatible grouping, max-size
+  chunking, and non-groupable fallback.

+
+# Phase 1: Research and TDD Contracts
+
+## Overview
+
+Lock current behavior and expected batch semantics before implementation. Tests should fail until the new batch API and Telegram grouping helpers exist.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: agents can request multiple existing files in one call.
+- Functional: returned `Result.Media` preserves file order, filename, MIME type, and per-file captions when provided.
+- Functional: duplicate delivery guard rejects already queued files in the same run.
+- Non-functional: no file content reads in the tool path; only `stat` and path metadata.
+- Non-functional: keep single-file `send_file` behavior backward compatible.
+
+## Architecture
+
+`send_file` stays the existing tool name and grows an optional `attachments` array. The array entries mirror the current single-file fields: `path` and optional `caption`. If `attachments` is present, it is the source of truth; otherwise current `path` behavior remains.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/tools/send_file.go`
+- Modify: `internal/tools/send_file_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/capabilities.go`
+- Create: `internal/channels/telegram/send_media_group_test.go` if helper tests need a focused file.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add failing tests for `send_file` with `attachments: [{path, caption}, ...]`.
+2. Add failing tests for duplicate handling: one duplicate in a batch rejects before marking new paths.
+3. Add failing tests proving old `path` + `caption` still returns one media entry.
+4. Add Telegram helper tests for chunk sizing and type grouping without calling the network.
+5. Add Discord regression test coverage around multi-file `sendMediaMessage` if existing test hooks allow it without live API.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Tests describe batch tool contract and current single-file compatibility.
+- [x] Telegram grouping constraints are encoded in pure helper tests.
+- [x] No live channel credentials required.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Main risk is over-scoping platform capability metadata. Keep tests focused on behavior needed by issue #172.

+
+# Phase 2: Tool API Batch Attachments
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement the backward-compatible tool API extension in `send_file`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: `send_file({attachments:[...]})` queues multiple media files in one result.
+- Functional: path resolution, allow/deny guards, regular-file checks, MIME detection, and duplicate detection match single-file behavior.
+- Functional: optional captions are copied onto result media for downstream channel senders.
+- Non-functional: batch validation is all-or-nothing; do not mark any path delivered until every entry validates.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Refactor `SendFileTool.Execute` into small helpers:
+- Parse single vs batch arguments.
+- Resolve and validate each requested attachment.
+- Check duplicate state against `DeliveredMedia` and within the batch.
+- Build `[]bus.MediaFile`, then mark delivered after success.
+
+No new tool name unless tests show the model schema becomes unclear; existing `send_file` is the least disruptive contract.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/tools/send_file.go`
+- Modify: `internal/tools/send_file_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/bus/types.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_types.go`
+- Modify: `internal/agent/loop_tools.go`
+- Modify: `cmd/gateway_consumer.go`
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Extend `SendFileTool.Parameters()` with optional `attachments` array.
+2. Add caption support to `bus.MediaFile`, `agent.MediaResult`, and `appendMediaToOutbound` so tool-level captions reach channel senders.
+3. Implement parsing helpers with clear validation errors for missing path, non-array entries, duplicate paths, and denied paths.
+4. Keep existing single-file code path behavior and messages stable.
+5. Run `go test ./internal/tools -run 'TestSendFile|TestMessage|TestWriteFile|TestDeliveredMedia'`.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Batch call returns N media entries in request order.
+- [x] Duplicate paths in same batch or already delivered paths fail cleanly.
+- [x] Single-path `send_file` tests still pass.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Changing media structs has a broad compile surface. Keep new fields additive with `omitempty` JSON tags and update only conversion points that need captions.

+
+# Phase 3: Channel Capability and Telegram Grouping
+
+## Overview
+
+Add channel capability metadata and implement Telegram media-group delivery for compatible batches while preserving ordered fallback elsewhere.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: Telegram sends compatible media in album chunks of 2-10.
+- Functional: Telegram documents group only with documents, audio only with audio, and photo/video may group together.
+- Functional: mixed or singleton chunks fall back to existing per-file send helpers.
+- Functional: caption behavior remains stable: first item uses shared message content when no per-file caption exists; oversized captions become follow-up text.
+- Non-functional: existing thread/reply behavior stays intact; reply applies to first grouped chunk only.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Add small reusable capability structs in `internal/channels/capabilities.go`, then keep platform-specific grouping logic in Telegram package:
+- Capability data exposes max batch count and grouping mode for docs/tests.
+- Telegram helper classifies outbound media as photo/video/audio/document, validates size, prepares captions, and emits chunks.
+- `sendMediaMessage` chooses media-group chunks only when safe; all other cases call the existing `sendPhoto`, `sendVideo`, `sendAudio`, `sendVoice`, or `sendDocument` helpers.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/channels/capabilities.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/telegram/send.go`
+- Modify/Create: `internal/channels/telegram/*_test.go`
+- Modify: `internal/channels/discord/send_media.go` only if regression tests expose a real compatibility gap.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add channel capability metadata for Telegram and Discord; Slack is media-capable but no single-message multi-file guarantee in this phase.
+2. Add Telegram pure helpers for chunking compatible media batches.
+3. Implement `sendMediaGroup` with `telego.SendMediaGroupParams` and file seek/open handling.
+4. Keep fallback path for audio-as-voice, oversized image-as-document, singleton chunks, and any group send error where retrying single sends is safer.
+5. Run `go test ./internal/channels/telegram ./internal/channels/discord ./internal/channels/slack`.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Telegram helper tests prove 2-10 compatible grouping and ordered fallback.
+- [x] Discord existing multi-file upload path remains unchanged.
+- [x] Slack fallback continues ordered file uploads plus text.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Telegram media groups are not transactional across fallback retries. Avoid marking success until the channel call returns nil; do not hide partial failure.

+# Phase 4: Regression Verification and Ship
+
+## Overview
+
+Run focused regression checks, update docs if behavior changed, review locally, then ship a beta PR.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: acceptance criteria from issue #172 are demonstrably covered for tool API, Telegram, and Discord/fallback behavior.
+- Non-functional: no syntax/build errors in touched packages.
+- Non-functional: no secrets or local env values in plan/issue/PR text.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Verification should stay package-focused unless touched files force broader coverage. Full integration tests are not required because no DB schema or live channel credential path changes.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify if warranted: `docs/05-channels-messaging.md`
+- Modify if warranted: `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- Read: `.github/workflows/ci.yaml` for PR check expectations if local commands differ.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Run focused tests:
+   - `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/tools ./internal/channels/telegram ./internal/channels/discord ./internal/channels/slack`
+2. Run compile checks:
+   - `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/channels/... ./internal/tools/...`
+   - `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go build ./...`
+   - `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go build -tags sqliteonly ./...`
+3. Update docs/changelog only if public behavior changed enough to warrant it.
+4. Run local pending diff review and fix Critical/Important findings.
+5. Commit, push branch, create PR to `dev`, run PR review/fix/reply, then add `ready to ship beta`.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] Focused tests pass.
+- [x] PG and SQLite builds pass.
+- [x] PR targets `dev` and links issue #172.
+- [x] Source issue and PR carry `ready to ship beta`; `ready to cook` removed after PR review.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+`go build ./...` may expose pre-existing platform/toolchain issues in unrelated packages. If so, record exact package/error and still run focused touched-package verification.

+# Issue 172 Multi Attachment Delivery
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement GitHub issue #172 in beta mode. Add a batch attachment tool API that lets agents queue multiple existing workspace files in one tool call, preserve order/caption metadata, and let channel senders group uploads where the platform supports it.
+
+Scout summary:
+- `send_file` currently accepts one `path` and returns one `Result.Media` entry: `internal/tools/send_file.go`.
+- `write_file(deliver=true)` already queues one file and marks it in `DeliveredMedia`: `internal/tools/filesystem_write.go`.
+- `message` can publish embedded multiple `MEDIA:` refs in one `bus.OutboundMessage`: `internal/tools/message.go`.
+- Tool result media flows through `agent.MediaResult` and `appendMediaToOutbound`; captions must be copied there or batch metadata is lost.
+- Discord already sends multiple files in one message: `internal/channels/discord/send_media.go`.
+- Telegram currently loops one media item at a time, even though `telego.SendMediaGroup` supports 2-10 album items with type restrictions: `internal/channels/telegram/send.go`.
+- Slack uploads files one by one, so it remains ordered fallback unless/until a safe multi-upload contract is added: `internal/channels/slack/send.go`.
+
+Scope boundary:
+- In scope: backend tool contract, media caption propagation, Telegram grouped album chunks, Discord regression coverage, ordered fallback for unsupported/mixed cases.
+- Out of scope: web UI changes, inbound media debounce, database migrations, WhatsApp/Zalo/Lark deep batching beyond existing ordered send behavior.

+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Research and TDD Contracts](./phase-01-research-and-tdd-contracts.md) | Completed |
+| 2 | [Tool API Batch Attachments](./phase-02-tool-api-batch-attachments.md) | Completed |
+| 3 | [Channel Capability and Telegram Grouping](./phase-03-channel-capability-and-telegram-grouping.md) | Completed |
+| 4 | [Regression Verification and Ship](./phase-04-regression-verification-and-ship.md) | Completed |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+No active blocking plan found in the project plan scan. Related historical plan: Discord thread attachment backfill, read-only context.

+# Validation and Red-Team Report
+
+## Validation
+
+- `ck plan validate --strict plans/260612-1708-issue-172-multi-attachment-delivery/plan.md` passed with 0 errors and 0 warnings.
+- Repo matched source issue: `digitopvn/goclaw`, default branch `dev`.
+- Source issue #172 is open and asks for multi-attachment delivery with channel limits, fallback, metadata preservation, and tests for Telegram plus another supported channel.
+- Verified Telegram `telego.SendMediaGroupParams.Media` requires 2-10 items and docs/audio same-type grouping in local module `github.com/mymmrac/telego@v1.6.0`.
+
+## Red-Team Findings
+
+- Accepted: caption metadata would be lost unless copied from `bus.MediaFile` through `agent.MediaResult` into `bus.MediaAttachment`. Plan updated to include these conversion points.
+- Accepted: Telegram cannot group every mixed batch. Plan limits media groups to photo/video together, document-only, and audio-only chunks; singleton and unsupported cases use existing ordered sends.
+- Rejected: adding live channel integration tests. They require credentials and would make CI flaky; pure helper tests plus existing sender path tests are enough for this scope.
+- Deferred: Slack true multi-file batch. Current Slack path uploads files in order and preserves thread routing; Slack's upload behavior needs separate product/API decision.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+None.

+**Bailian Coding note**: Bailian is a separate OpenAI-compatible Coding
+endpoint. Its model catalog includes `qwen3.7-plus` with Deep Thinking and
+Visual Understanding listed for selection, but this DashScope `enable_thinking`

+endpoint's explicit request controls are verified separately.

 **Important limitation**: DashScope does not support streaming when tools are present. When an agent has tools enabled and thinking is active, the provider automatically falls back to non-streaming mode (single `Chat()` call) and synthesizes chunk callbacks to maintain the event flow.

+### Bailian Coding qwen3.7-plus catalog (issue #169)
+
+**Changes**
+
+- Added `qwen3.7-plus` / `Qwen 3.7 Plus` to the hardcoded Bailian
+  Coding provider model catalog.
+- Documented the model's advertised Text Generation, Deep Thinking, and Visual
+  Understanding capabilities while keeping Bailian on the existing
+  OpenAI-compatible provider wrapper.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added provider model endpoint coverage to verify Bailian exposes
+  `qwen3.7-plus` without adding unsupported OpenAI reasoning metadata.

+
+# Phase 1: Catalog and capability docs
+
+## Overview
+
+Add the new Bailian model to the backend catalog and document its advertised capabilities without changing runtime request-body semantics.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: `bailianModels()` returns `{ID: "qwen3.7-plus", Name: "Qwen 3.7 Plus"}`.
+- Functional: docs state the model capabilities from issue #169: Text Generation, Deep Thinking, Visual Understanding.
+- Non-functional: no new API schema fields unless already supported by `ModelInfo`.
+- Non-functional: no runtime behavior change for existing Bailian models.
+
+## Architecture
+
+`GET /v1/providers/{id}/models` loads a provider from the store, dispatches `provider_type == "bailian"` to `bailianModels()`, and returns the list. Web and desktop provider model pickers already consume this endpoint, so the backend catalog update is the UI propagation path.
+
+Do not add `qwen3.7-plus` to `internal/providers/reasoning_capability.go`: `OpenAIProvider.buildRequestBody()` uses that registry to decide whether to send OpenAI `reasoning_effort`. Bailian is registered as `NewOpenAIProvider(...)`, not `NewDashScopeProvider(...)`, so Qwen Deep Thinking docs should not imply a wire-level parameter implementation here.
+
+## Related Code Files
+
+- Modify: `internal/http/provider_models_catalog.go`
+- Modify: `docs/02-providers.md`
+- Modify: `docs/12-extended-thinking.md`
+- No UI changes: web and desktop use the existing provider models endpoint.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add `qwen3.7-plus` near the current Qwen Plus entries in `bailianModels()`.
+2. Add concise inline catalog grouping that records Bailian capabilities for Qwen Plus models.
+3. Update `docs/02-providers.md` Bailian section with the new model and capability row.
+4. Update `docs/12-extended-thinking.md` to clarify Bailian advertises Deep Thinking for `qwen3.7-plus`, but GoClaw does not inject DashScope `enable_thinking` controls for Bailian in this change.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Catalog contains `qwen3.7-plus`.
+- [ ] Docs mention Text Generation, Deep Thinking, Visual Understanding.
+- [ ] No new provider request-body controls are introduced.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: adding reasoning metadata could make Bailian receive unsupported OpenAI `reasoning_effort`.
+Mitigation: leave `LookupReasoningCapability()` unchanged and document the distinction.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+No new secrets, auth paths, or tenant writes.

+# Phase 2: Tests and verification
+
+## Overview
+
+Add regression coverage for Bailian model discovery and run focused validation for the touched backend/docs paths.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: endpoint-level test proves Bailian returns `qwen3.7-plus`.
+- Functional: test verifies no unsupported reasoning metadata is exposed for this OpenAI-compatible Bailian model.
+- Non-functional: targeted Go package tests pass with the installed Go binary.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Add a provider models test in `internal/http/provider_models_test.go` for `store.ProviderBailian`.
+2. Use existing mock provider store and auth token helpers.
+3. Assert HTTP 200, model ID/display name, and nil `Reasoning` for `qwen3.7-plus`.
+4. Run focused test:
+   - `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/http -run 'Bailian|ProviderModels' -count=1`
+5. Run compile checks when feasible:
+   - `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/http -count=1`
+   - broader build/test if the focused package uncovers shared changes.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Focused test fails before catalog change and passes after.
+- [ ] `go test ./internal/http` passes.
+- [ ] No generated or unrelated files changed.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: test helper requires an API key for Bailian before returning catalog.
+Mitigation: set a dummy API key on the mock provider because the handler checks non-empty `APIKey` before dispatch.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Use dummy values only; do not read or write env/secrets.

+# Phase 3: Ship beta PR
+
+## Overview
+
+Ship the completed issue #169 work as a beta-targeted PR to `dev`, with labels updated according to `ck:vibe --beta`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Functional: GitHub issue gets a plan/update comment and `ready to cook` before implementation.
+- Functional: PR targets `dev` and references issue #169.
+- Functional: after local and PR review gates pass, source issue and PR get `ready to ship beta`.
+- Non-functional: no merge is performed because the user invoked `--beta`, not `--ship --beta`.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. Ensure GitHub labels exist: `ready to cook`, `ready to ship stable`, `ready to ship beta`.
+2. Comment on issue #169 with branch, relative plan path, beta mode, and acceptance criteria.
+3. After implementation/tests/review, commit with a focused conventional message.
+4. Push `codex/issue-169-qwen37-bailian-model`.
+5. Create beta PR against `dev`.
+6. Review/fix/reply PR feedback and wait for terminal checks when available.
+7. Add `ready to ship beta` to both issue and PR; remove `ready to cook`.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] PR exists and targets `dev`.
+- [ ] PR/issue labels reflect ready-to-ship-beta state after review.
+- [ ] Merge is skipped.
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+Risk: GitHub auth lacks label/PR permissions.
+Mitigation: stop with exact `gh` error if label or PR creation fails.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+Do not include secrets or private env output in GitHub comments/PR body.

+# Add qwen3.7-plus to Bailian Coding provider
+
+## Overview
+
+Add `qwen3.7-plus` to GoClaw's hardcoded Bailian Coding model catalog so the shared `/v1/providers/{id}/models` endpoint exposes it to both web and desktop model pickers. Keep runtime request behavior backward-compatible: Bailian remains an OpenAI-compatible provider, and no GPT/Codex `reasoning_effort` metadata is added for this Qwen model.
+
+## Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Status |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| 1 | [Catalog and capability docs](./phase-01-catalog-and-capability-docs.md) | Completed |
+| 2 | [Tests and verification](./phase-02-tests-and-verification.md) | Completed |
+| 3 | [Ship beta PR](./phase-03-ship-beta-pr.md) | Pending |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Source issue: <https://github.com/digitopvn/goclaw/issues/169>
+- Verified code paths:
+  - `internal/http/provider_models_catalog.go`: `bailianModels()` hardcoded catalog.
+  - `internal/http/provider_models.go`: Bailian dispatch uses `bailianModels()` then `withReasoningCapabilities()`.
+  - `internal/http/providers.go`: Bailian runtime registration uses `providers.NewOpenAIProvider(...)`.
+  - `internal/providers/openai_request.go`: `reasoning_effort` is gated by `LookupReasoningCapability()`, so do not add `qwen3.7-plus` there.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] `qwen3.7-plus` appears in the Bailian Coding model catalog.
+- [x] Display name is `Qwen 3.7 Plus`.
+- [x] Capabilities are documented as Text Generation, Deep Thinking, Visual Understanding.
+- [x] Web/Desktop provider model pickers inherit the model through the existing `/v1/providers/{id}/models` API.
+- [x] Existing Bailian provider registration remains backward-compatible.
+- [x] Tests cover the Bailian model list.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Does Bailian expose explicit request parameters for Deep Thinking on `qwen3.7-plus`? Out of scope for this catalog update unless verified separately.

+## Code Review Summary
+
+### Scope
+
+- Files: `internal/http/provider_models_catalog.go`, `internal/http/provider_models_test.go`, `docs/02-providers.md`, `docs/12-extended-thinking.md`, `docs/project-changelog.md`
+- LOC: +76 / -0 pending diff
+- Focus: pending changes only, issue #169 Bailian Coding `qwen3.7-plus` catalog
+- Scout findings: `/v1/providers/{id}/models` dispatches Bailian to `bailianModels()`; web and desktop picker paths consume this endpoint; Bailian runtime registration remains `providers.NewOpenAIProvider(...)`; OpenAI `reasoning_effort` remains gated by GPT/Codex reasoning metadata and is not added for `qwen3.7-plus`.
+
+### Overall Assessment
+
+Implementation matches acceptance criteria. No blocking production-readiness issues found.
+
+### Critical Issues
+
+None.
+
+### High Priority
+
+None.
+
+### Medium Priority
+
+None.
+
+### Low Priority
+
+None.
+
+### Edge Cases Found by Scout
+
+- Verified Bailian catalog path requires API key before returning hardcoded models; test covers the current contract with a dummy key.
+- Verified UI propagation does not require hardcoded web/desktop model list updates because pickers call `/v1/providers/{id}/models`.
+- Verified `qwen3.7-plus` is not in `LookupReasoningCapability()`, so selecting it will not trigger unsupported OpenAI `reasoning_effort`.
+
+### Positive Observations
+
+- Test covers endpoint-level behavior, display name, and nil reasoning metadata.
+- Docs correctly distinguish advertised Bailian Deep Thinking capability from DashScope `enable_thinking` / `thinking_budget` request injection.
+- Existing Bailian provider default model and registration path are unchanged.
+
+### Recommended Actions
+
+1. No code changes required.
+2. Plan can mark Phase 2 complete; Phase 3 remains pending.
+
+### Verification
+
+- `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/http -run 'TestProvidersHandlerListProviderModels(BailianIncludesQwen37Plus|ChatGPTOAuthIncludesReasoningMetadata|OpenAICompatAnnotatesKnownModels)'` passed.
+- `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/providers -run 'TestLookupReasoningCapability|TestDashScopeModelSupportsThinking|TestDashScopeThinking'` passed.
+- `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/http` passed.
+- `PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH go test ./internal/providers` passed.
+- `git diff --check -- internal/http/provider_models_catalog.go internal/http/provider_models_test.go docs/02-providers.md docs/12-extended-thinking.md docs/project-changelog.md` passed.
+
+### Metrics
+
+- Type Coverage: N/A for Go; package compile covered by `go test`
+- Test Coverage: coverage percentage not collected
+- Linting Issues: 0 from `git diff --check`; full lint/vet not run
+
+### Plan Status
+
+- Phase 1: complete by diff evidence.
+- Phase 2: appears complete; focused and package tests passed.
+- Phase 3: pending, not reviewed as implementation.
+
+### Unresolved Questions
+
+None for this catalog implementation. Bailian-specific Deep Thinking wire controls remain explicitly out of scope.

+# Scout Report
+
+## Findings
+
+- Repo verified: `digitopvn/goclaw`, default branch `dev`.
+- Source issue verified: #169 requests `qwen3.7-plus` for Bailian Coding.
+- Catalog source: `internal/http/provider_models_catalog.go` -> `bailianModels()`.
+- Endpoint dispatch: `internal/http/provider_models.go` uses `bailianModels()` for `provider_type == "bailian"`.
+- UI propagation: web and desktop model pickers call `/v1/providers/{id}/models`; no hardcoded Bailian model list found in UI.
+- Runtime boundary: `internal/http/providers.go` registers Bailian through `providers.NewOpenAIProvider(...)`.
+- Wire guardrail: `internal/providers/openai_request.go` sends OpenAI `reasoning_effort` only when `LookupReasoningCapability()` returns metadata or model is GPT/o-series.
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement catalog entry, endpoint regression test, and docs. Do not add `qwen3.7-plus` to the GPT/Codex reasoning capability registry in this task.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- Does Bailian expose explicit thinking request parameters for `qwen3.7-plus`? Not needed for the catalog issue.

+## Scope
+- Verified the Bailian Coding model catalog addition in `internal/http/provider_models_catalog.go`.
+- Verified handler coverage in `internal/http/provider_models_test.go`.
+- Checked docs updates in `docs/02-providers.md`, `docs/12-extended-thinking.md`, and `docs/project-changelog.md`.
+

+  - PASS
+- `git diff --check`
+  - PASS
+
+## Notes
+- `GET /v1/providers/{id}/models` is the contract used by the web and desktop pickers; no UI hardcoded model list change was needed.
+- Bailian registration remains on the existing OpenAI-compatible provider path with the default model still set to `qwen3.5-plus`.
+
+## Coverage gap
+- Catalog is covered by one focused regression only; no additional provider-level or UI-level test was added in this patch.

+# Validation And Red-Team Report
+
+## Validation
+
+- Acceptance criteria are mapped to concrete files and tests.
+- Web/Desktop selection is covered through the shared backend model endpoint, not separate UI lists.
+- Backward compatibility is explicit: Bailian provider registration remains unchanged.
+
+## Red-Team Findings
+
+- Finding: Adding `qwen3.7-plus` to `LookupReasoningCapability()` would expose advanced reasoning controls and may make Bailian send OpenAI `reasoning_effort`.
+  - Verdict: Reject for this issue scope. Keep runtime controls unchanged.
+- Finding: Vision capability is not a `ModelInfo` field today.
+  - Verdict: Document capability only; avoid schema expansion for a single catalog entry.
+- Finding: Handler rejects providers with empty API keys before model dispatch.
+  - Verdict: Test must create a Bailian provider with a dummy API key.
+
+## Unresolved Questions
+
+- None blocking implementation.

+description: Use this skill when administering, operating, or debugging a GoClaw gateway through the GoClaw CLI/runtime package. It covers CLI discovery, safe command inspection, gateway health/config diagnostics, agents, skills, MCP/tools, runtime packages, credentials, traces, sessions, channels, providers, cron/jobs, and troubleshooting. Always inspect the live `goclaw --help` output first because command availability is version-dependent.

+
+# GoClaw Gateway CLI Administration
+
+Use this skill when the user asks you to operate, inspect, administer, or debug a
+GoClaw gateway through the `goclaw` CLI/runtime package.
+
+## Operating Rules
+
+1. Identify the exact binary before running commands.
+2. Prefer read-only inspection before mutating actions.
+3. Never print, paste, or store API keys, bearer tokens, OAuth tokens, database
+   credentials, private keys, cookies, or `.env` contents in chat, issues,
+   comments, or logs.
+4. Scope every action to the requested gateway, tenant, org, agent, team,
+   session, channel, or provider.
+5. Ask for explicit confirmation before destructive or security-sensitive
+   actions.
+6. If command help disagrees with this skill, trust the live `--help` output.
+
+Do not run bare `goclaw` unless the user explicitly wants to start the gateway
+server. Use `goclaw --help`, `goclaw version`, or a subcommand for inspection.
+
+## CLI Discovery
+
+Start with read-only discovery:
+
+```bash
+command -v goclaw
+type -a goclaw
+goclaw version
+goclaw --help
+goclaw <command> --help
+```
+
+If `command -v goclaw` is empty on a managed server, also check deployment
+runtime paths before concluding the CLI is absent:
+
+```bash
+ls -l /var/lib/goclaw/data/.runtime/bin/goclaw
+ls -l /app/data/.runtime/bin/goclaw
+```
+
+Distinguish the command surface you found:
+
+- Gateway server binary: running `goclaw` with no subcommand starts the gateway.
+- Operator/admin CLI: subcommands such as `agent`, `skills`, `traces`,
+  `sessions`, `providers`, `channels`, `cron`, `config`, `doctor`, `auth`,
+  `backup`, `restore`, `migrate`, and `upgrade`.
+- Remote operator mode: many admin commands can read `GOCLAW_SERVER`,
+  `GOCLAW_GATEWAY_URL`, and `GOCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` from the environment.
+  Configure tokens through the shell/session secret manager, not CLI argv or
+  pasted text.
+
+Use placeholders in examples:
+
+```bash
+goclaw traces list
+```
+
+## Read-Only Diagnostics
+
+Run safe checks first:
+
+```bash
+goclaw doctor
+goclaw config path
+goclaw config validate
+goclaw agent list
+goclaw skills list
+goclaw sessions list
+goclaw providers list
+goclaw channels list
+goclaw cron list
+goclaw traces list
+```
+
+If a command requires a running gateway, retry with the correct remote target:
+
+```bash
+goclaw agent list
+```
+
+Use `goclaw config show` only in a private local terminal when necessary. Treat
+the output as sensitive even though the CLI redacts known secret fields; do not
+paste it into chats, issues, PRs, or shared logs.
+
+For HTTP-only surfaces, inspect the current API/docs before guessing endpoint
+shape. Useful areas include `/health`, `/v1/skills`, `/v1/traces`,
+`/v1/packages/runtimes`, `/v1/mcp`, and `/v1/providers` when available.
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Agents
+
+Read first:
+
+```bash
+goclaw agent --help
+goclaw agent list
+```
+
+Before create, update, chat, or delete operations, verify target tenant/org and
+agent ID/key. Treat `agent delete` as destructive.
+
+### Skills
+
+Read first:
+
+```bash
+goclaw skills --help
+goclaw skills list
+goclaw skills show <skill>
+goclaw skills deps status <skill-id-or-path>
+goclaw skills access get <skill-id>
+```
+
+Use dependency scan/check before install:
+
+```bash
+goclaw skills deps scan <skill-id-or-path>
+goclaw skills deps check <skill-id-or-path>
+```
+
+Mutating skill commands need clear intent and scope:
+
+```bash
+goclaw skills deps install <skill-id>
+goclaw skills access set <skill-id> --help
+goclaw skills grant agent <skill-id> <agent-id>
+goclaw skills revoke agent <skill-id> <agent-id>
+```
+
+System skills are bundled and should not be edited in place. Prefer uploading or
+publishing a tenant/custom skill override when customization is required.
+
+### MCP Servers And Tools
+
+First inspect whether this CLI version exposes MCP commands:
+
+```bash
+goclaw mcp --help
+```
+
+If no MCP CLI exists, use the current gateway API/UI/docs for MCP discovery and
+permission changes. Do not invent command names. For tool access issues, verify:
+
+- the MCP server is configured and enabled;
+- the tool is visible to the requested agent/team;
+- permissions or approval rules allow the action;
+- gateway logs/traces show the actual failure.
+
+### Runtime Packages
+
+Inspect current runtime/package support before acting:
+
+```bash
+goclaw packages --help
+goclaw skills deps status <skill-id-or-path>
+```
+
+If there is no packages CLI, use the Packages UI or `/v1/packages/*` API when
+available. Install/update/remove package operations are admin-level and may need
+approval. Prefer the smallest dependency needed by the selected skill.
+
+### Credentials And Auth
+
+Use read-only status commands first:
+
+```bash
+goclaw auth status
+goclaw auth status <provider>
+```
+
+For gateway bearer tokens, provider keys, OAuth refresh tokens, and CLI
+credentials:
+
+- never echo values;
+- do not add them to issues, PRs, chat, or logs;
+- prefer environment variables, OS keychain, or gateway credential UI;
+- rotate credentials if they were exposed;
+- confirm before logout, delete, or replace operations.
+
+### Traces And Failed Runs
+
+Use traces to debug provider errors, tool failures, channel delivery, and stuck
+sessions:
+
+```bash
+goclaw traces --help
+goclaw traces list --status error
+goclaw traces get <trace-id> -o json
+goclaw traces timeline <trace-id>
+goclaw traces follow --session <session-key>
+goclaw traces export <trace-id>
+```
+
+Redact prompts, tokens, URLs with secrets, headers, and customer data before
+posting trace excerpts anywhere public.
+
+### Sessions, Channels, Providers, Cron
+
+Inspect help and list commands:
+
+```bash
+goclaw sessions --help
+goclaw channels --help
+goclaw providers --help
+goclaw cron --help
+```
+
+Treat these as sensitive:
+
+- `sessions delete` and `sessions reset`;
+- channel add/delete or credential changes;
+- provider add/update/delete and model verification with live credentials;
+- cron delete/toggle/run.
+
+## Troubleshooting Playbooks
+
+### Agent Cannot Access A Tool Or MCP
+
+1. Confirm the request is in the intended tenant/org and agent/team.
+2. List available skills/tools for that agent context.
+3. Check MCP server status/config and permission grants.
+4. Inspect the relevant trace for permission, approval, or transport errors.
+5. Apply the smallest grant or config change after confirmation.
+
+### Package Install Or Update Failed
+
+1. Check skill dependency status.
+2. Inspect runtime availability for Python, Node, system packages, or GitHub
+   release installers.
+3. Look for pending approval, network, permission, disk, or checksum errors.
+4. Retry only after the root cause is clear.
+
+### CLI Credentials Missing Or Expired
+
+1. Run `goclaw auth status` or the relevant credential status command.
+2. Verify required env vars exist without printing values.
+3. Re-authenticate through the approved UI/CLI flow.
+4. Re-run the original read-only command before mutating anything.
+
+### Provider Or Model Error
+
+1. Use traces to find the provider, model, status code, and error class.
+2. Check `goclaw providers list` and provider verification help.
+3. Confirm model availability from the current provider config.
+4. Avoid changing provider priority or credentials without user approval.
+
+### Skill Not Visible Or Not Granted
+
+1. Run `goclaw skills list` and `goclaw skills show <skill>`.
+2. Inspect access mode and effective access for the target agent/user.
+3. Check whether the skill is archived due to missing dependencies.
+4. Grant or enable only the requested skill and scope.
+
+### Channel Delivery Failure
+
+1. Identify channel, session, sender, and trace ID.
+2. Inspect `goclaw channels list` and the failed trace.
+3. Check provider/tool errors before blaming the channel.
+4. Redact external message IDs and user data when reporting.
+
+## Mutating Command Confirmation
+
+Ask for confirmation before running commands that:
+
+- delete, reset, revoke, restore, force, drop, or migrate down;
+- change provider/channel credentials;
+- install/update/remove runtime packages;
+- grant broad skill/tool access;
+- modify tenant/global config;
+- trigger cron jobs with external side effects.
+
+Confirmation should include the target, command category, expected effect, and
+rollback path if one exists.

+### Cron NO_REPLY delivery suppression (issue #141)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Suppressed configured cron channel delivery when final agent output contains a
+  standalone `NO_REPLY` sentinel anywhere in the text, while keeping normal chat
+  silent-reply behavior unchanged.
+- Added suppression logging with cron job/channel metadata for debugging.
+
+**Tests**
+
+- Added cron handler regression coverage for exact, prefix, suffix,
+  mid-sentence, decorative, and glued-token `NO_REPLY` outputs.

Subject: [PATCH 100/105] feat(providers): add kimi_coding provider with fixed
 User-Agent + temp lock
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Moonshot's Kimi Coding endpoint is OpenAI-compatible on the wire but
has two non-standard rules:

  1. Every request must carry `User-Agent: claude-code/0.1.0` — without
     it the upstream rejects the call outright.
  2. `temperature` is locked to the server default; passing any other
     value returns HTTP 400 `invalid temperature: only 1 is allowed for
     this model`.

Rather than special-case either, this commit generalises both:

  - WithExtraHeaders on OpenAIProvider — static headers attached to
    every outgoing request. Reusable by any future provider that needs
    pinned identity headers; mirrored in adapter_openai.ToRequest so
    callers using the adapter path see the same shape.
  - The existing skipTemp branch in openai_request.go gets a
    provider_type check — kimi_coding joins o1/o3/o4/gpt-5-mini in
    omitting `temperature` from the request body.

Provider wiring:
  - store.ProviderKimiCoding constant + ValidProviderTypes entry +
    KimiCoding{DefaultAPIBase,DefaultModel,RequiredUserAgent}.
  - case store.ProviderKimiCoding in both registration switches
    (cmd/gateway_providers.go and internal/http/providers.go).
  - UI dropdown entry with the API base pre-filled.

5 unit tests cover: real outgoing header injection, adapter-path
header mirroring, empty-map WithExtraHeaders no-op, kimi_coding
strips temperature, and the negative control (other providers still
forward temperature).

Admin flow: Providers → Add → "Kimi Coding (Moonshot)" → paste API
key → save.

Subject: [PATCH 101/105] fix(providers): kimi_coding requires
 reasoning_content on assistant tool-call
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Upstream returns HTTP 400 `thinking is enabled but reasoning_content
is missing in assistant tool call message at index N` when an
assistant message with tool_calls is replayed in history without a
reasoning_content field. Kimi has server-side thinking enabled by
default for kimi-k2-turbo-preview, so the field is required even when
goclaw doesn't have captured reasoning content to send (e.g. the model
emitted a tool_call without any thinking, or the stream chunk that
carried it was lost).

The existing branch already gates on
openAIWireAssistantReasoningContent(model) (kimi/deepseek/o-series)
and emits the field only when Thinking != "". Extend so kimi_coding
also emits an empty string when Thinking is unset — satisfies Kimi's
"must be present" check without inventing reasoning content. Other
providers in the allowlist keep today's behavior: omit when empty.

Three new tests:
  - kimi_coding always carries reasoning_content on assistant
  - kimi_coding preserves real Thinking content when set
  - non-kimi providers (deepseek) do NOT inject empty reasoning_content

Reference: NousResearch/hermes-agent plugins/model-providers/kimi-coding
documents the same upstream behavior (thinking enabled by default,
reasoning_content roundtrip required).

Subject: [PATCH 104/105] fix(gateway): inject agent key in MCP bridge so
 session tools resolve identity
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

bridgeContextMiddleware injects the agent UUID (store.WithAgentID) but never the
agent key, so session tools (sessions_list/history/send/status) that resolve the
caller via tools.ToolAgentKeyFromCtx always get "" and fail with "agent context
required" when invoked over /mcp/bridge (e.g. by a claude-cli provider agent).
Session keys are namespaced by agent key (agent:<key>:...), not UUID, and the
bridge has no RunContext fallback.

Inject the key in the same block that already fetches the agent for shell-deny
overrides — symmetric with store.WithShellDenyGroups, no extra DB call, no new
imports.

#1094 makes the same fix at this site but bundles it into a large, stale
(CONFLICTING) ACP/i18n refactor; this is the minimal extraction of that slice.
It omits #1094's companion store.WithAgentKey write, which nothing on dev reads
(every session tool reads tools.ToolAgentKeyFromCtx).

Add internal/gateway/bridge_context_test.go: a regression guard asserting a
signed X-Agent-ID lands the agent key in tools.ToolAgentKeyFromCtx, plus a
no-store negative control.
