 # Clawdbot Chrome Extension (Browser Relay)
 Purpose: attach Clawdbot to an existing Chrome tab so the Gateway can automate it (via the local CDP relay server).
 ## Dev / load unpacked
 1. Build/run Clawdbot Gateway with browser control enabled.
 2. Ensure the relay server is reachable at `http://127.0.0.1:18792/` (default).
 3. Install the extension to a stable path:
   ```bash
   clawdbot browser extension install
   clawdbot browser extension path
   ```
 4. Chrome → `chrome://extensions` → enable “Developer mode”.
 5. “Load unpacked” → select the path printed above.
 6. Pin the extension. Click the icon on a tab to attach/detach.
 ## Options
 - `Relay port`: defaults to `18792`.

 # Chat Channels
 Clawdbot can talk to you on any chat app you already use. Each channel connects via the Gateway.
 Text is supported everywhere; media and reactions vary by channel.
 ## Supported channels
 - [WhatsApp](/channels/whatsapp) — Most popular; uses Baileys and requires QR pairing.
 - [Telegram](/channels/telegram) — Bot API via grammY; supports groups.
 - [Discord](/channels/discord) — Discord Bot API + Gateway; supports servers, channels, and DMs.
 - [Slack](/channels/slack) — Bolt SDK; workspace apps.
 - [Signal](/channels/signal) — signal-cli; privacy-focused.
 - [iMessage](/channels/imessage) — macOS only; native integration.
 - [Microsoft Teams](/channels/msteams) — Bot Framework; enterprise support.
 - [Zalo](/channels/zalo) — Zalo Bot API; Vietnam's popular messenger (plugin).
 - [WebChat](/web/webchat) — Gateway WebChat UI over WebSocket.
 ## Notes
 - Channels can run simultaneously; configure multiple and Clawdbot will route per chat.
 - Group behavior varies by channel; see [Groups](/concepts/groups).
 - DM pairing and allowlists are enforced for safety; see [Security](/gateway/security).
 - Telegram internals: [grammY notes](/channels/grammy).

 summary: "Signal support via signal-cli (JSON-RPC + SSE), setup, and number model"
 read_when:
  - Setting up Signal support
  - Debugging Signal send/receive
 ---
 # Signal (signal-cli)
 Status: external CLI integration. Gateway talks to `signal-cli` over HTTP JSON-RPC + SSE.
 ## Quick setup (beginner)
 1) Use a **separate Signal number** for the bot (recommended).
 2) Install `signal-cli` (Java required).
 3) Link the bot device and start the daemon:
   - `signal-cli link -n "Clawdbot"`
 4) Configure Clawdbot and start the gateway.
 Minimal config:
 ```json5
 {
  channels: {
    signal: {
      enabled: true,
      account: "+15551234567",
      cliPath: "signal-cli",
      dmPolicy: "pairing",
      allowFrom: ["+15557654321"]
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 ## What it is
 - Signal channel via `signal-cli` (not embedded libsignal).
 - Deterministic routing: replies always go back to Signal.
 - DMs share the agent's main session; groups are isolated (`agent:<agentId>:signal:group:<groupId>`).
 ## Config writes
 By default, Signal is allowed to write config updates triggered by `/config set|unset` (requires `commands.config: true`).
 Disable with:
 ```json5
 {
  channels: { signal: { configWrites: false } }
 }
 ```
 ## The number model (important)
 - The gateway connects to a **Signal device** (the `signal-cli` account).
 - If you run the bot on **your personal Signal account**, it will ignore your own messages (loop protection).
 - For "I text the bot and it replies," use a **separate bot number**.
 ## Setup (fast path)
 1) Install `signal-cli` (Java required).
 2) Link a bot account:
   - `signal-cli link -n "Clawdbot"` then scan the QR in Signal.
 3) Configure Signal and start the gateway.
 Example:
 ```json5
 {
  channels: {
    signal: {
      enabled: true,
      account: "+15551234567",
      cliPath: "signal-cli",
      dmPolicy: "pairing",
      allowFrom: ["+15557654321"]
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 Multi-account support: use `channels.signal.accounts` with per-account config and optional `name`. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration#telegramaccounts--discordaccounts--slackaccounts--signalaccounts--imessageaccounts) for the shared pattern.
 ## Access control (DMs + groups)
 DMs:
 - Default: `channels.signal.dmPolicy = "pairing"`.
 - Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
 - Approve via:
  - `clawdbot pairing list signal`
  - `clawdbot pairing approve signal <CODE>`
 - Pairing is the default token exchange for Signal DMs. Details: [Pairing](/start/pairing)
 - UUID-only senders (from `sourceUuid`) are stored as `uuid:<id>` in `channels.signal.allowFrom`.
 Groups:
 - `channels.signal.groupPolicy = open | allowlist | disabled`.
 - `channels.signal.groupAllowFrom` controls who can trigger in groups when `allowlist` is set.
 ## How it works (behavior)
 - `signal-cli` runs as a daemon; the gateway reads events via SSE.
 - Inbound messages are normalized into the shared channel envelope.
 - Replies always route back to the same number or group.
 ## Media + limits
 - Outbound text is chunked to `channels.signal.textChunkLimit` (default 4000).
 - Attachments supported (base64 fetched from `signal-cli`).
 - Default media cap: `channels.signal.mediaMaxMb` (default 8).
 - Use `channels.signal.ignoreAttachments` to skip downloading media.
 - Group history context uses `channels.signal.historyLimit` (or `channels.signal.accounts.*.historyLimit`), falling back to `messages.groupChat.historyLimit`. Set `0` to disable (default 50).
 ## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
 - DMs: `signal:+15551234567` (or plain E.164).
 - Groups: `signal:group:<groupId>`.
 - Usernames: `username:<name>` (if supported by your Signal account).
 ## Configuration reference (Signal)

 summary: "Zalo bot support status, capabilities, and configuration"
 read_when:
  - Working on Zalo features or webhooks

 # Zalo (Bot API)
 Status: experimental. Direct messages only; groups coming soon per Zalo docs.
 ## Quick setup (beginner)
 1) Install the Zalo plugin:
   - From a source checkout: `clawdbot plugins install ./extensions/zalo`
   - From npm (if published): `clawdbot plugins install @clawdbot/zalo`
   - Or pick **Zalo** in onboarding and confirm the install prompt
 2) Set the token:
   - Env: `ZALO_BOT_TOKEN=...`
   - Or config: `channels.zalo.botToken: "..."`.
 3) Restart the gateway (or finish onboarding).
 4) DM access is pairing by default; approve the pairing code on first contact.
 Minimal config:
 ```json5
 {
  channels: {
    zalo: {
      enabled: true,
      botToken: "12345689:abc-xyz",
      dmPolicy: "pairing"
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 ## What it is
 - A Zalo Bot API channel owned by the Gateway.
 - Deterministic routing: replies go back to Zalo; the model never chooses channels.
 - DMs share the agent's main session.
 - Groups are not yet supported (Zalo docs state "coming soon").
 ## Setup (fast path)
 ### 1) Create a bot token (Zalo Bot Platform)
 1) Go to **https://bot.zaloplatforms.com** and sign in.
 2) Create a new bot and configure its settings.
 3) Copy the bot token (format: `12345689:abc-xyz`).
 ### 2) Configure the token (env or config)
 Example:
 ```json5
 {
  channels: {
    zalo: {
      enabled: true,
      botToken: "12345689:abc-xyz",
      dmPolicy: "pairing"
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 Env option: `ZALO_BOT_TOKEN=...` (works for the default account only).
 Multi-account support: use `channels.zalo.accounts` with per-account tokens and optional `name`.
 3) Restart the gateway. Zalo starts when a token is resolved (env or config).
 4) DM access defaults to pairing. Approve the code when the bot is first contacted.
 ## How it works (behavior)
 - Inbound messages are normalized into the shared channel envelope with media placeholders.
 - Replies always route back to the same Zalo chat.
 - Long-polling by default; webhook mode available with `channels.zalo.webhookUrl`.
 ## Limits
 - Outbound text is chunked to 2000 characters (Zalo API limit).
 - Media downloads/uploads are capped by `channels.zalo.mediaMaxMb` (default 5).
 - Streaming is blocked by default due to the 2000 char limit making streaming less useful.
 ## Access control (DMs)
 ### DM access
 - Default: `channels.zalo.dmPolicy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
 - Approve via:
  - `clawdbot pairing list zalo`
  - `clawdbot pairing approve zalo <CODE>`
 - Pairing is the default token exchange. Details: [Pairing](/start/pairing)
 - `channels.zalo.allowFrom` accepts numeric user IDs.
 ## Long-polling vs webhook
 - Default: long-polling (no public URL required).
 - Webhook mode: set `channels.zalo.webhookUrl` and `channels.zalo.webhookSecret`.
  - The webhook secret must be 8-256 characters.
  - Webhook URL must use HTTPS.
  - Zalo sends events with `X-Bot-Api-Secret-Token` header for verification.
  - Gateway HTTP handles webhook requests at `channels.zalo.webhookPath` (defaults to the webhook URL path).
 **Note:** getUpdates (polling) and webhook are mutually exclusive per Zalo API docs.
 ## Supported message types
 - **Text messages**: Full support with 2000 character chunking.
 - **Image messages**: Download and process inbound images; send images via `sendPhoto`.
 - **Stickers**: Logged but not fully processed (no agent response).
 - **Unsupported types**: Logged (e.g., messages from protected users).
 ## Capabilities
 | Feature | Status |
 |---------|--------|
 | Direct messages | ✅ Supported |
 | Groups | ❌ Coming soon (per Zalo docs) |
 | Media (images) | ✅ Supported |
 | Reactions | ❌ Not supported |
 | Threads | ❌ Not supported |
 | Polls | ❌ Not supported |
 | Native commands | ❌ Not supported |
 | Streaming | ⚠️ Blocked (2000 char limit) |
 ## Delivery targets (CLI/cron)
 - Use a chat id as the target.
 - Example: `clawdbot message send --channel zalo --to 123456789 --message "hi"`.
 ## Troubleshooting
 **Bot doesn't respond:**
 - Check that the token is valid: `clawdbot channels status --probe`
 - Verify the sender is approved (pairing or allowFrom)
 - Check gateway logs: `clawdbot logs --follow`
 **Webhook not receiving events:**
 - Ensure webhook URL uses HTTPS
 - Verify secret token is 8-256 characters
 - Confirm the gateway HTTP endpoint is reachable on the configured path
 - Check that getUpdates polling is not running (they're mutually exclusive)

 summary: "Context: what the model sees, how it is built, and how to inspect it"
 read_when:
  - You want to understand what “context” means in Clawdbot
  - You are debugging why the model “knows” something (or forgot it)
  - You want to reduce context overhead (/context, /status, /compact)
 ---
 # Context
 “Context” is **everything Clawdbot sends to the model for a run**. It is bounded by the model’s **context window** (token limit).
 Beginner mental model:
 - **System prompt** (Clawdbot-built): rules, tools, skills list, time/runtime, and injected workspace files.
 - **Conversation history**: your messages + the assistant’s messages for this session.
 - **Tool calls/results + attachments**: command output, file reads, images/audio, etc.
 Context is *not the same thing* as “memory”: memory can be stored on disk and reloaded later; context is what’s inside the model’s current window.
 ## Quick start (inspect context)
 - `/status` → quick “how full is my window?” view + session settings.
 - `/context list` → what’s injected + rough sizes (per file + totals).
 - `/context detail` → deeper breakdown: per-file, per-tool schema sizes, per-skill entry sizes, and system prompt size.
 - `/cost on` → append per-reply usage line to normal replies.
 - `/compact` → summarize older history into a compact entry to free window space.
 See also: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands), [Token use & costs](/token-use), [Compaction](/concepts/compaction).
 ## Example output
 Values vary by model, provider, tool policy, and what’s in your workspace.

 ## What counts toward the context window
 Everything the model receives counts, including:
 - System prompt (all sections).
 - Conversation history.
 - Tool calls + tool results.
 - Attachments/transcripts (images/audio/files).
 - Compaction summaries and pruning artifacts.
 - Provider “wrappers” or hidden headers (not visible, still counted).
 ## How Clawdbot builds the system prompt
 The system prompt is **Clawdbot-owned** and rebuilt each run. It includes:
 - Tool list + short descriptions.
 - Skills list (metadata only; see below).
 - Workspace location.
 - Time (UTC + converted user time if configured).
 - Runtime metadata (host/OS/model/thinking).
 - Injected workspace bootstrap files under **Project Context**.
 Full breakdown: [System Prompt](/concepts/system-prompt).
 ## Injected workspace files (Project Context)
 By default, Clawdbot injects a fixed set of workspace files (if present):
 - `AGENTS.md`
 - `SOUL.md`
 - `TOOLS.md`
 - `IDENTITY.md`
 - `USER.md`
 - `HEARTBEAT.md`
 - `BOOTSTRAP.md` (first-run only)
 Large files are truncated per-file using `agents.defaults.bootstrapMaxChars` (default `20000` chars). `/context` shows **raw vs injected** sizes and whether truncation happened.
 ## Skills: what’s injected vs loaded on-demand
 The system prompt includes a compact **skills list** (name + description + location). This list has real overhead.
 Skill instructions are *not* included by default. The model is expected to `read` the skill’s `SKILL.md` **only when needed**.
 ## Tools: there are two costs
 Tools affect context in two ways:
 1) **Tool list text** in the system prompt (what you see as “Tooling”).
 2) **Tool schemas** (JSON). These are sent to the model so it can call tools. They count toward context even though you don’t see them as plain text.
 `/context detail` breaks down the biggest tool schemas so you can see what dominates.
 ## Commands, directives, and “inline shortcuts”
 Slash commands are handled by the Gateway. There are a few different behaviors:
 - **Standalone commands**: a message that is only `/...` runs as a command.
 - **Directives**: `/think`, `/verbose`, `/reasoning`, `/elevated`, `/model`, `/queue` are stripped before the model sees the message.
  - Directive-only messages persist session settings.
  - Inline directives in a normal message act as per-message hints.
 - **Inline shortcuts** (allowlisted senders only): certain `/...` tokens inside a normal message can run immediately (example: “hey /status”), and are stripped before the model sees the remaining text.
 Details: [Slash commands](/tools/slash-commands).
 ## Sessions, compaction, and pruning (what persists)
 What persists across messages depends on the mechanism:
 - **Normal history** persists in the session transcript until compacted/pruned by policy.
 - **Compaction** persists a summary into the transcript and keeps recent messages intact.
 - **Pruning** removes old tool results from the *in-memory* prompt for a run, but does not rewrite the transcript.
 Docs: [Session](/concepts/session), [Compaction](/concepts/compaction), [Session pruning](/concepts/session-pruning).
 ## What `/context` actually reports
 `/context` prefers the latest **run-built** system prompt report when available:
 - `System prompt (run)` = captured from the last embedded (tool-capable) run and persisted in the session store.
 - `System prompt (estimate)` = computed on the fly when no run report exists (or when running via a CLI backend that doesn’t generate the report).
 Either way, it reports sizes and top contributors; it does **not** dump the full system prompt or tool schemas.

- Activation modes: `mention` (default) or `always`. `mention` requires a ping (real WhatsApp @-mentions via `mentionedJids`, regex patterns, or the bot’s E.164 anywhere in the text). `always` wakes the agent on every message but it should reply only when it can add meaningful value; otherwise it returns the silent token `NO_REPLY`. Defaults can be set in config (`channels.whatsapp.groups`) and overridden per group via `/activation`. When `channels.whatsapp.groups` is set, it also acts as a group allowlist (include `"*"` to allow all).

Defaults can be set in config (`whatsapp.groups`) and overridden per group via `/activation`. When `whatsapp.groups` is set, it also acts as a group allowlist (include `"*"` to allow all).
- Group policy: `channels.whatsapp.groupPolicy` controls whether group messages are accepted (`open|disabled|allowlist`). `allowlist` uses `channels.whatsapp.groupAllowFrom` (fallback: explicit `channels.whatsapp.allowFrom`). Default is `allowlist` (blocked until you add senders).

 - Per-group sessions: session keys look like `agent:<agentId>:whatsapp:group:<jid>` so commands such as `/verbose on` or `/think high` (sent as standalone messages) are scoped to that group; personal DM state is untouched. Heartbeats are skipped for group threads.
 - Context injection: last N (default 50) group messages are prefixed under `[Chat messages since your last reply - for context]`, with the triggering line under `[Current message - respond to this]`.
 - Sender surfacing: every group batch now ends with `[from: Sender Name (+E164)]` so Pi knows who is speaking.
 - Ephemeral/view-once: we unwrap those before extracting text/mentions, so pings inside them still trigger.
 - Group system prompt: on the first turn of a group session (and whenever `/activation` changes the mode) we inject a short blurb into the system prompt like `You are replying inside the WhatsApp group "<subject>". Group members: Alice (+44...), Bob (+43...), … Activation: trigger-only … Address the specific sender noted in the message context.` If metadata isn’t available we still tell the agent it’s a group chat.

 ## Pattern: personal DMs + public groups (single agent)
 Yes — this works well if your “personal” traffic is **DMs** and your “public” traffic is **groups**.
 Why: in single-agent mode, DMs typically land in the **main** session key (`agent:main:main`), while groups always use **non-main** session keys (`agent:main:<channel>:group:<id>`). If you enable sandboxing with `mode: "non-main"`, those group sessions run in Docker while your main DM session stays on-host.
 This gives you one agent “brain” (shared workspace + memory), but two execution postures:
 - **DMs**: full tools (host)
 - **Groups**: sandbox + restricted tools (Docker)
 > If you need truly separate workspaces/personas (“personal” and “public” must never mix), use a second agent + bindings. See [Multi-Agent Routing](/concepts/multi-agent).
 Example (DMs on host, groups sandboxed + messaging-only tools):
 ```json5
 {
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      sandbox: {
        mode: "non-main", // groups/channels are non-main -> sandboxed
        scope: "session", // strongest isolation (one container per group/channel)
        workspaceAccess: "none"
      }
    }
  },
  tools: {
    sandbox: {
      tools: {
        // If allow is non-empty, everything else is blocked (deny still wins).
        allow: ["group:messaging", "group:sessions"],
        deny: ["group:runtime", "group:fs", "group:ui", "nodes", "cron", "gateway"]
      }
    }
  }
 }
 ```
 Want “groups can only see folder X” instead of “no host access”? Keep `workspaceAccess: "none"` and mount only allowlisted paths into the sandbox:
 ```json5
 {
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      sandbox: {
        mode: "non-main",
        scope: "session",
        workspaceAccess: "none",
        docker: {
          binds: [
            // hostPath:containerPath:mode
            "~/FriendsShared:/data:ro"
          ]
        }

 # Markdown formatting
 Clawdbot formats outbound Markdown by converting it into a shared intermediate
 representation (IR) before rendering channel-specific output. The IR keeps the
 source text intact while carrying style/link spans so chunking and rendering can
 stay consistent across channels.
 ## Goals
 - **Consistency:** one parse step, multiple renderers.
 - **Safe chunking:** split text before rendering so inline formatting never
  breaks across chunks.
 - **Channel fit:** map the same IR to Slack mrkdwn, Telegram HTML, and Signal
  style ranges without re-parsing Markdown.
 ## Pipeline
 1. **Parse Markdown -> IR**
   - IR is plain text plus style spans (bold/italic/strike/code/spoiler) and link spans.
   - Offsets are UTF-16 code units so Signal style ranges align with its API.
 2. **Chunk IR (format-first)**
   - Chunking happens on the IR text before rendering.
   - Inline formatting does not split across chunks; spans are sliced per chunk.
 3. **Render per channel**
   - **Slack:** mrkdwn tokens (bold/italic/strike/code), links as `<url|label>`.
   - **Telegram:** HTML tags (`<b>`, `<i>`, `<s>`, `<code>`, `<pre><code>`, `<a href>`).
   - **Signal:** plain text + `text-style` ranges; links become `label (url)` when label differs.
 ## IR example
 Input Markdown:
 ```markdown
 Hello **world** — see [docs](https://docs.clawd.bot).
 ```
 IR (schematic):
 ```json
 {
  "text": "Hello world — see docs.",
  "styles": [
    { "start": 6, "end": 11, "style": "bold" }
  ],
  "links": [
    { "start": 19, "end": 23, "href": "https://docs.clawd.bot" }
  ]
 }
 ```
 ## Where it is used
 - Slack, Telegram, and Signal outbound adapters render from the IR.
 - Other channels (WhatsApp, iMessage, MS Teams, Discord) still use plain text or
  their own formatting rules.
 ## Chunking rules
 - Chunk limits come from channel adapters/config and are applied to the IR text.
 - Code fences are preserved as a single block with a trailing newline so channels
  render them correctly.
 - List prefixes and blockquote prefixes are part of the IR text, so chunking
  does not split mid-prefix.
 - Inline styles (bold/italic/strike/inline-code/spoiler) are never split across
  chunks; the renderer reopens styles inside each chunk.
 If you need more on chunking behavior across channels, see
 [Streaming + chunking](/concepts/streaming).
 ## Link policy
 - **Slack:** `[label](url)` -> `<url|label>`; bare URLs remain bare. Autolink
  is disabled during parse to avoid double-linking.
 - **Telegram:** `[label](url)` -> `<a href="url">label</a>` (HTML parse mode).
 - **Signal:** `[label](url)` -> `label (url)` unless label matches the URL.
 ## Spoilers
 Spoiler markers (`||spoiler||`) are parsed only for Signal, where they map to
 SPOILER style ranges. Other channels treat them as plain text.
 ## How to add or update a channel formatter
 1. **Parse once:** use the shared `markdownToIR(...)` helper with channel-appropriate
   options (autolink, heading style, blockquote prefix).
 2. **Render:** implement a renderer with `renderMarkdownWithMarkers(...)` and a
   style marker map (or Signal style ranges).
 3. **Chunk:** call `chunkMarkdownIR(...)` before rendering; render each chunk.
 4. **Wire adapter:** update the channel outbound adapter to use the new chunker
   and renderer.
 5. **Test:** add or update format tests and an outbound delivery test if the
   channel uses chunking.
 ## Common gotchas
 - Slack angle-bracket tokens (`<@U123>`, `<#C123>`, `<https://...>`) must be
  preserved; escape raw HTML safely.
 - Telegram HTML requires escaping text outside tags to avoid broken markup.
 - Signal style ranges depend on UTF-16 offsets; do not use code point offsets.
 - Preserve trailing newlines for fenced code blocks so closing markers land on
  their own line.

 ## What is “one agent”?
@@ -17,16 +17,6 @@ An **agent** is a fully scoped brain with its own:
 - **State directory** (`agentDir`) for auth profiles, model registry, and per-agent config.

 Auth profiles are **per-agent**. Each agent reads from its own:

 Main agent credentials are **not** shared automatically. Never reuse `agentDir`
 across agents (it causes auth/session collisions). If you want to share creds,
