 - CLI progress: use `src/cli/progress.ts` (`osc-progress` + `@clack/prompts` spinner); don’t hand-roll spinners/bars.
 - Status output: keep tables + ANSI-safe wrapping (`src/terminal/table.ts`); `status --all` = read-only/pasteable, `status --deep` = probes.
 - Gateway currently runs only as the menubar app; there is no separate LaunchAgent/helper label installed. Restart via the Clawdbot Mac app or `scripts/restart-mac.sh`; to verify/kill use `launchctl print gui/$UID | grep clawdbot` rather than assuming a fixed label. **When debugging on macOS, start/stop the gateway via the app, not ad-hoc tmux sessions; kill any temporary tunnels before handoff.**
-- macOS logs: use `./scripts/clawlog.sh` (aka `vtlog`) to query unified logs for the Clawdbot subsystem; it supports follow/tail/category filters and expects passwordless sudo for `/usr/bin/log`.
+- macOS logs: use `./scripts/clawlog.sh` to query unified logs for the Clawdbot subsystem; it supports follow/tail/category filters and expects passwordless sudo for `/usr/bin/log`.
 - If shared guardrails are available locally, review them; otherwise follow this repo's guidance.
 - SwiftUI state management (iOS/macOS): prefer the `Observation` framework (`@Observable`, `@Bindable`) over `ObservableObject`/`@StateObject`; don’t introduce new `ObservableObject` unless required for compatibility, and migrate existing usages when touching related code.
 - Connection providers: when adding a new connection, update every UI surface and docs (macOS app, web UI, mobile if applicable, onboarding/overview docs) and add matching status + configuration forms so provider lists and settings stay in sync.

-<li>Telegram: let control commands bypass per-chat sequentialization; always allow abort triggers.</li>
-<li>Telegram: split long captions into media + follow-up text messages. (#907) — thanks @jalehman.</li>
-<li>Telegram: migrate group config when supergroups change chat IDs. (#906) — thanks @sleontenko.</li>
-<li>Telegram: register dock native commands with underscores to avoid <code>BOT_COMMAND_INVALID</code> (#929, fixes #901) — thanks @grp06.</li>
-<li>Messaging: unify markdown formatting + format-first chunking for Slack/Telegram/Signal. (#920) — thanks @TheSethRose.</li>
-<li>iMessage: prefer handle routing for direct-message replies; include imsg RPC error details. (#935)</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: fix context isolation using wrong ID (was bot's number, now conversation ID). (#911) — thanks @tristanmanchester.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: normalize user JIDs with device suffix for allowlist checks in groups. (#838) — thanks @peschee.</li>
-<li>WhatsApp: harden owner command auth.</li>
-<li>Auto-reply: treat trailing <code>NO_REPLY</code> tokens as silent replies.</li>
-</ul>
-<h4>Config / Doctor / Packaging</h4>
-<ul>
-<li>Config: prevent partial config writes from clobbering unrelated settings (base hash guard + merge patch for connection saves).</li>
-<li>Config/Doctor: remove legacy Clawdis env fallbacks and config/service migrations (Clawdbot-only).</li>
-<li>Doctor: avoid re-adding WhatsApp config when only legacy ack reactions are set. (#927, fixes #900) — thanks @grp06.</li>
-<li>Packaging: run <code>pnpm build</code> on <code>prepack</code> so npm publishes include fresh <code>dist/</code> output.</li>

+## Progress Updates (Critical)
+
+When you spawn coding agents in the background, keep the user in the loop.
+
+- Send 1 short message when you start (what's running + where).
+- Then only update again when something changes:
+  - a milestone completes (build finished, tests passed)
+  - the agent asks a question / needs input
+  - you hit an error or need user action
+  - the agent finishes (include what changed + where)
+- If you kill a session, immediately say you killed it and why.
+
+This prevents the user from seeing only "Agent failed before reply" and having no idea what happened.
+
+---
+
+## Auto-Notify on Completion
+
+For long-running background tasks, append a wake trigger to your prompt so Clawdbot gets notified immediately when the agent finishes (instead of waiting for the next heartbeat):
+
+```
+... your task here.
+
+When completely finished, run this command to notify me:
+clawdbot gateway wake --text "Done: [brief summary of what was built]" --mode now
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+bash pty:true workdir:~/project background:true command:"codex --yolo exec 'Build a REST API for todos.
+
+When completely finished, run: clawdbot gateway wake --text \"Done: Built todos REST API with CRUD endpoints\" --mode now'"
+```
+
+This triggers an immediate wake event — Skippy gets pinged in seconds, not 10 minutes.
