 - Language: TypeScript (ESM). Prefer strict typing; avoid `any`.
 - Formatting/linting via Biome; run `pnpm lint` before commits.
 - Keep files concise; extract helpers instead of “V2” copies. Use existing patterns for CLI options and dependency injection via `createDefaultDeps`.
-- Keep every file ≤ 500 LOC; refactor or split before exceeding and check frequently.
+- Aim to keep files under ~700 LOC; guideline only (not a hard guardrail). Split/refactor when it improves clarity or testability.
 
 ## Testing Guidelines
 - Framework: Vitest with V8 coverage thresholds (70% lines/branches/functions/statements).
 - Naming: match source names with `*.test.ts`; e2e in `*.e2e.test.ts`.
 - Run `pnpm test` (or `pnpm test:coverage`) before pushing when you touch logic.
 - Pure test additions/fixes generally do **not** need a changelog entry unless they alter user-facing behavior or the user asks for one.
+- Mobile: before using a simulator, check for connected real devices (iOS + Android) and prefer them when available.
 
 ## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
 - Create commits with `scripts/committer "<msg>" <file...>`; avoid manual `git add`/`git commit` so staging stays scoped.
@@ -41,11 +42,15 @@
 - Also read the shared guardrails at `~/Projects/oracle/AGENTS.md` and `~/Projects/agent-scripts/AGENTS.MD` before making changes; align with any cross-repo rules noted there.
 - 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.
 - **Restart apps:** “restart iOS/Android apps” means rebuild (recompile/install) and relaunch, not just kill/launch.
+- **Device checks:** before testing, verify connected real devices (iOS/Android) before reaching for simulators/emulators.
+- iOS Team ID lookup: `security find-identity -p codesigning -v` → use Apple Development (…) TEAMID. Fallback: `defaults read com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEProvisioningTeamIdentifiers`.
+- A2UI bundle hash: `src/canvas-host/a2ui/.bundle.hash` is auto-generated; regenerate via `pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle` (or `scripts/bundle-a2ui.sh`) instead of manual conflict resolution.
 - Notary key file lives at `~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Backup/AppStore/AuthKey_NJF3NFGTS3.p8` (Sparkle keys live under `~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Backup/Sparkle`).
 - **Multi-agent safety:** do **not** create/apply/drop `git stash` entries unless Peter explicitly asks (this includes `git pull --rebase --autostash`). Assume other agents may be working; keep unrelated WIP untouched and avoid cross-cutting state changes.
 - **Multi-agent safety:** when Peter says "push", you may `git pull --rebase` to integrate latest changes (never discard other agents' work). When Peter says "commit", scope to your changes only. When Peter says "commit all", commit everything in grouped chunks.
 - **Multi-agent safety:** do **not** create/remove/modify `git worktree` checkouts (or edit `.worktrees/*`) unless Peter explicitly asks.
 - **Multi-agent safety:** do **not** switch branches / check out a different branch unless Peter explicitly asks.
+- **Multi-agent safety:** running multiple agents is OK as long as each agent has its own session.
 - When asked to open a “session” file, open the Pi session logs under `~/.clawdis/sessions/*.jsonl` (newest unless a specific ID is given), not the default `sessions.json`. If logs are needed from Mac Studio, SSH via Tailscale and read the same path there.
 - Menubar dimming + restart flow mirrors Trimmy: use `scripts/restart-mac.sh` (kills all Clawdis variants, runs `swift build`, packages, relaunches). Icon dimming depends on MenuBarExtraAccess wiring in AppMain; keep `appearsDisabled` updates intact when touching the status item.
 - Never send streaming/partial replies to external messaging surfaces (WhatsApp, Telegram); only final replies should be delivered there. Streaming/tool events may still go to internal UIs/control channel.

 # Changelog
 
+## 2.0.0-beta5 — Unreleased
+
+### Breaking
+- Skills config schema moved under `skills.*`:
+  - `skillsLoad.extraDirs` → `skills.load.extraDirs`
+  - `skillsInstall.*` → `skills.install.*`
+  - per-skill config map moved to `skills.entries` (e.g. `skills.peekaboo.enabled` → `skills.entries.peekaboo.enabled`)
+  - new optional bundled allowlist: `skills.allowBundled` (only affects bundled skills)
+
+### Features
+- Talk mode: continuous speech conversations (macOS/iOS/Android) with ElevenLabs TTS, reply directives, and optional interrupt-on-speech.
+- UI: add optional `ui.seamColor` accent to tint the Talk Mode side bubble (macOS/iOS/Android).
+- Nix mode: opt-in declarative config + read-only settings UI when `CLAWDIS_NIX_MODE=1` (thanks @joshp123 for the persistence — earned my trust; I'll merge these going forward).
+- Agent runtime: accept legacy `Z_AI_API_KEY` for Z.AI provider auth (maps to `ZAI_API_KEY`).
+- Tests: add a Z.AI live test gate for smoke validation when keys are present.
+- macOS Debug: add app log verbosity and rolling file log toggle for swift-log-backed app logs.
+
+### Fixes
+- macOS codesign: skip hardened runtime for ad-hoc signing and avoid empty options args (#70) — thanks @petter-b
+- Docs/agent tools: clarify that browser `wait` should be avoided by default and used only in exceptional cases.
+- Browser tools: `upload` supports auto-click refs, direct `inputRef`/`element` file inputs, and emits input/change after `setFiles` so JS-heavy sites pick up attachments.
+- macOS: Voice Wake now fully tears down the Speech pipeline when disabled (cancel pending restarts, drop stale callbacks) to avoid high CPU in the background.
+- macOS menu: add a Talk Mode action alongside the Open Dashboard/Chat/Canvas entries.
+- macOS Debug: hide “Restart Gateway” when the app won’t start a local gateway (remote mode / attach-only).
+- macOS Talk Mode: orb overlay refresh, ElevenLabs request logging, API key status in settings, and auto-select first voice when none is configured.
+- macOS Talk Mode: add hard timeout around ElevenLabs TTS synthesis to avoid getting stuck “speaking” forever on hung requests.
+- macOS Talk Mode: avoid stuck playback when the audio player never starts (fail-fast + watchdog).
+- macOS Talk Mode: fix audio stop ordering so disabling Talk Mode always stops in-flight playback.
+- macOS Talk Mode: throttle audio-level updates (avoid per-buffer task creation) to reduce CPU/task churn.
+- macOS Talk Mode: increase overlay window size so wave rings don’t clip; close button is hover-only and closer to the orb.
+- Talk Mode: fall back to system TTS when ElevenLabs is unavailable, returns non-audio, or playback fails (macOS/iOS/Android).
+- Talk Mode: stream PCM on macOS/iOS for lower latency (incremental playback); Android continues MP3 streaming.
+- Talk Mode: validate ElevenLabs v3 stability and latency tier directives before sending requests.
+- iOS/Android Talk Mode: auto-select the first ElevenLabs voice when none is configured.
+- ElevenLabs: add retry/backoff for 429/5xx and include content-type in errors for debugging.
+- Talk Mode: align to the gateway’s main session key and fall back to history polling when chat events drop (prevents stuck “thinking” / missing messages).
+- Talk Mode: treat history timestamps as seconds or milliseconds to avoid stale assistant picks (macOS/iOS/Android).
+- Chat UI: clear streaming/tool bubbles when external runs finish, preventing duplicate assistant bubbles.
+- Chat UI: user bubbles use `ui.seamColor` (fallback to a calmer default blue).
+- Android Chat UI: use `onPrimary` for user bubble text to preserve contrast (thanks @Syhids).
+- Control UI: sync sidebar navigation with the URL for deep-linking, and auto-scroll chat to the latest message.
+- Control UI: disable Web Chat + Talk when no iOS/Android node is connected; refreshed Web Chat styling and keyboard send.
+- macOS Web Chat: fix composer layout so the connection pill and send button stay inside the input field.
+- macOS: bundle Control UI assets into the app relay so the packaged app can serve them (thanks @mbelinky).
+- Talk Mode: wait for chat history to surface the assistant reply before starting TTS (macOS/iOS/Android).
+- iOS Talk Mode: fix chat completion wait to time out even if no events arrive (prevents “Thinking…” hangs).
+- iOS Talk Mode: keep recognition running during playback to support interrupt-on-speech.
+- iOS Talk Mode: preserve directive voice/model overrides across config reloads and add ElevenLabs request timeouts.
+- iOS/Android Talk Mode: explicitly `chat.subscribe` when Talk Mode is active, so completion events arrive even if the Chat UI isn’t open.
+- Chat UI: refresh history when another client finishes a run in the same session, so Talk Mode + Voice Wake transcripts appear consistently.
+- Gateway: `voice.transcript` now also maps agent bus output to `chat` events, ensuring chat UIs refresh for voice-triggered runs.
+- iOS/Android: show a centered Talk Mode orb overlay while Talk Mode is enabled.
+- Gateway config: inject `talk.apiKey` from `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`/shell profile so nodes can fetch it on demand.
+- Canvas A2UI: tag requests with `platform=android|ios|macos` and boost Android canvas background contrast.
+- iOS/Android nodes: enable scrolling for loaded web pages in the Canvas WebView (default scaffold stays touch-first).
+- macOS menu: device list now uses `node.list` (devices only; no agent/tool presence entries).
+- macOS menu: device list now shows connected nodes only.
+- macOS menu: device rows now pack platform/version on the first line, and command lists wrap in submenus.
+- macOS menu: split device platform/version across first and second rows for better fit.
+- iOS node: fix ReplayKit screen recording crash caused by queue isolation assertions during capture.
+- iOS Talk Mode: avoid audio tap queue assertions when starting recognition.
+- macOS: use $HOME/Library/pnpm for SSH PATH exports (thanks @mbelinky).
+- iOS/Android nodes: bridge auto-connect refreshes stale tokens and settings now show richer bridge/device details.
+- macOS: bundle device model resources to prevent Instances crashes (thanks @mbelinky).
+- iOS/Android nodes: status pill now surfaces camera activity instead of overlay toasts.
+- iOS/Android/macOS nodes: camera snaps recompress to keep base64 payloads under 5 MB.
+- iOS/Android nodes: status pill now surfaces pairing, screen recording, voice wake, and foreground-required states.
+- iOS/Android nodes: avoid duplicating “Gateway reconnecting…” when the bridge is already connecting.
+- iOS/Android nodes: Talk Mode now lives on a side bubble (with an iOS toggle to hide it), and Android settings no longer show the Talk Mode switch.
+- macOS menu: top status line now shows pending node pairing approvals (incl. repairs).
+- CLI: avoid spurious gateway close errors after successful request/response cycles.
+- Agent runtime: clamp tool-result images to the 5MB Anthropic limit to avoid hard request rejections.
+- Tests: add Swift Testing coverage for camera errors and Kotest coverage for Android bridge endpoints.
+
+## 2.0.0-beta4 — 2025-12-27
+
+### Fixes
+- Package contents: include Discord/hooks build outputs in the npm tarball to avoid missing module errors.
+- Heartbeat replies now drop any output containing `HEARTBEAT_OK`, preventing stray emoji/text from being delivered.
+- macOS menu now refreshes the control channel after the gateway starts and shows “Connecting to gateway…” while the gateway is coming up.
+- macOS local mode now waits for the gateway to be ready before configuring the control channel, avoiding false “no connection” flashes.
+- WhatsApp watchdog now forces a reconnect even if the socket close event stalls (force-close to unblock reconnect loop).
+- Gateway presence now reports macOS product version (via `sw_vers`) instead of Darwin kernel version.
+
+## 2.0.0-beta3 — 2025-12-27
+
+### Highlights
+- First-class Clawdis tools (browser, canvas, nodes, cron) replace the old `clawdis-*` skills; tool schemas are now injected directly into the agent runtime.
+- Per-session model selection + custom model providers: `models.providers` merges into `~/.clawdis/agent/models.json` (merge/replace modes) for LiteLLM, local OpenAI-compatible servers, Anthropic proxies, etc.
+- Group chat activation modes: per-group `/activation mention|always` command with status visibility.
+- Discord bot transport for DMs and guild text channels, with allowlists + mention gating.
+- Gateway webhooks: external `wake` and isolated `agent` hooks with dedicated token auth.
+- Hook mappings + Gmail Pub/Sub helper (`clawdis hooks gmail setup/run`) with auto-renew + Tailscale Funnel support.
+- Command queue modes + per-session overrides (`/queue ...`) and new `agent.maxConcurrent` cap for safe parallelism across sessions.
+- Background bash tasks: `bash` auto-yields after 20s (or on demand) with a `process` tool to list/poll/log/write/kill sessions.
+- Gateway in-process restart: `clawdis_gateway` tool action triggers a SIGUSR1 restart without needing a supervisor.
+
+### Breaking
+- Config refactor: `inbound.*` removed; use top-level `routing` (allowlists + group rules + transcription), `messages` (prefixes/timestamps), and `session` (scoping/store/mainKey). No legacy keys read.
+- Heartbeat config moved to `agent.heartbeat`: set `every: "30m"` (duration string) and optional `model`. `agent.heartbeatMinutes` is removed, and heartbeats are disabled unless `agent.heartbeat.every` is set.
+- Heartbeats now run via the gateway runner (main session) and deliver to the last used channel by default. WhatsApp reply-heartbeat behavior is removed; use `agent.heartbeat.target`/`to` (or `target: "none"`) to control delivery.
+- Browser `act` no longer accepts CSS `selector`; use `snapshot` refs (default `ai`) or `evaluate` as an escape hatch.
+
+### Fixes
+- Heartbeat replies now strip repeated `HEARTBEAT_OK` tails to avoid accidental “OK OK” spam.
+- Heartbeat delivery now uses the last non-empty payload, preventing tool preambles from swallowing the final reply.
+- Heartbeats now skip WhatsApp delivery when the web provider is inactive or unlinked (instead of logging “no active gateway listener”).
+- Heartbeat failure logs now include the error reason instead of `[object Object]`.
+- Duration strings now accept `h` (hours) where durations are parsed (e.g., heartbeat intervals).
+- WhatsApp inbound now normalizes more wrapper types so quoted reply bodies are extracted reliably.
+- WhatsApp send now preserves existing JIDs (including group `@g.us`) instead of coercing to `@s.whatsapp.net`. (Thanks @arun-8687.)
+- Telegram/WhatsApp: reply context stays in `Body`/`ReplyTo*`, but outbound replies no longer thread to the original message. (Thanks @joshp123 for the PR and follow-up question.)
+- Suppressed libsignal session cleanup spam from console logs unless verbose mode is enabled.
+- WhatsApp web creds persistence hardened; credentials are restored before auth checks and QR login auto-restarts if it stalls.
+- Group chats now honor `routing.groupChat.requireMention=false` as the default activation when no per-group override exists.
+- Gateway auth no longer supports PAM/system mode; use token or shared password.
+- Tailscale Funnel now requires password auth (no token-only public exposure).
+- Group `/new` resets now work with @mentions so activation guidance appears on fresh sessions.
+- Group chat activation context is now injected into the system prompt at session start (and after activation changes), including /new greetings.
+- Typing indicators now start only once a reply payload is produced (no "thinking" typing for silent runs).
+- WhatsApp group typing now starts immediately only when the bot is mentioned; otherwise it waits until real output exists.
+- Streamed `<think>` segments are stripped before partial replies are emitted.
+- System prompt now tags allowlisted owner numbers as the user identity to avoid mistaken “friend” assumptions.
+- LM Studio/Ollama replies now require <final> tags; streaming ignores content until <final> begins.
+- LM Studio responses API: tools payloads no longer include `strict: null`, and LM Studio no longer gets forced `<think>/<final>` tags.
+- Identity emoji no longer auto-prefixes replies (set `messages.responsePrefix` explicitly if desired).
+- Model switches now enqueue a system event so the next run knows the active model.
+- `/model status` now lists available models (same as `/model`).
+- `process log` pagination is now line-based (omit `offset` to grab the last N lines).
+- macOS WebChat: assistant bubbles now update correctly when toggling light/dark mode.
+- macOS: avoid spawning a duplicate gateway process when an external listener already exists.
+- Node bridge: when binding to a non-loopback host (e.g. Tailnet IP), also listens on `127.0.0.1` for local connections (without creating duplicate loopback listeners for `0.0.0.0`/`127.0.0.1` binds).
+- UI perf: pause repeat animations when scenes are inactive (typing dots, onboarding glow, iOS status pulse), throttle voice overlay level updates, and reduce overlay focus churn.
+- Canvas defaults/A2UI auto-nav aligned; debug status overlay centered; redundant await removed in `CanvasManager`.
+- Gateway launchd loop fixed by removing redundant `kickstart -k`.
+- CLI now hints when Peekaboo is unauthorized.
+- WhatsApp web inbox listeners now clean up on close to avoid duplicate handlers.
+- Gateway startup now brings up browser control before external providers; WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord auto-start can be disabled with `web.enabled`, `telegram.enabled`, or `discord.enabled`.
+
+### Providers & Routing
+- New Discord provider for DMs + guild text channels with allowlists and mention-gated replies by default.
+- `routing.queue` now controls queue vs interrupt behavior globally + per surface (defaults: WhatsApp/Telegram interrupt, Discord/WebChat queue).
+- `/queue <mode>` supports one-shot or per-session overrides; `/queue reset|default` clears overrides.
+- `agent.maxConcurrent` caps global parallel runs while keeping per-session serialization.
+
+### macOS app
+- Update-ready state surfaced in the menu; menu sections regrouped with session submenus.
+- Menu bar now shows a dedicated Nodes section under Context with inline rows, overflow submenu, and iconized actions.
+- Nodes now expose consistent inline details with per-node submenus for quick copy of key fields.
+- Node rows now show compact app versions (build numbers moved to submenus) and offer SSH launch from Bonjour when available.
+- Menu actions are grouped below toggles; Open Canvas hides when disabled and Voice Wake now anchors the mic picker.
+- Connections now include Discord provider status + configuration UI.
+- Menu bar gains an Allow Camera toggle alongside Canvas.
+- Session list polish: sleeping/disconnected/error states, usage bar restored, padding + bar sizing tuned, syncing menu removed, header hidden when disconnected.
+- Chat UI polish: tool call cards + merged tool results, glass background, tighter composer spacing, visual effect host tweaks.
+- OAuth storage moved; legacy session syncing metadata removed.
+- Remote SSH tunnels now get health checks; Debug → Ports highlights unhealthy tunnels and offers Reset SSH tunnel.
+- Menu bar session/node sections no longer reflow while open, keeping hover highlights aligned.
+- Menu hover highlights now span the full width (including submenu arrows).
+- Menu session rows now refresh while open without width changes (no more stuck “Loading sessions…”).
+- Menu width no longer grows on hover when moving the mouse across rows.
+- Context usage bars now have higher contrast in light mode.
+- macOS node timeouts now share a single async timeout helper for consistent behavior.
+- WebChat window defaults tightened (narrower width, edge-to-edge layout) and the SwiftUI tag removed from the title.
+
+### Nodes & Canvas
+- Debug status overlay gated and toggleable on macOS/iOS/Android nodes.
+- Gateway now derives the canvas host URL via a shared helper for bridge + WS handshakes (avoids loopback pitfalls).
+- `canvas a2ui push` validates JSONL with line errors, rejects v0.9 payloads, and supports `--text` quick renders.
+- `nodes rename` lets you override paired node display names without editing JSON.
+- Android scaffold asset cleanup; iOS canvas/voice wake adjustments.
+
+### Logging & Observability
+- New subsystem console formatter with color modes, shortened prefixes, and TTY detection; browser/gateway logs route through the subsystem logger.
+- WhatsApp console output streamlined; chalk/tslog typing fixes.
+
+### Web UI
+- Chat is now the dashboard landing view; health status simplified; initial scroll animation removed.
+
+### Build, Dev, Docs
+- Notarization flow added for macOS release artifacts; packaging scripts updated.
+- macOS signing auto-selects Developer ID → Apple Distribution → Apple Development; no ad-hoc fallback.
+- Added type-aware oxlint; docs list resolves from cwd; formatting/lint cleanup and dependency bumps (Peekaboo).
+- Docs refreshed for tools, custom model providers, Discord, queue/routing, group activation commands, logging, restart semantics, release notes, GitHub pages CTAs, and npm pitfalls.
+- `pnpm build` now skips A2UI bundling for faster builds (run `pnpm canvas:a2ui:bundle` when needed).
+
+### Tests
+- Coverage added for models config merging, WhatsApp reply context, QR login flows, auto-reply behavior, and gateway SIGTERM timeouts.
+- Added gateway webhook coverage (auth, validation, and summary posting).
+- Vitest now isolates HOME/XDG config roots so tests never touch a real `~/.clawdis` install.
