+Core ZeroClaw orientation and self-configuration guidance.
+
+Use this skill when the user asks how ZeroClaw works, how to configure it, or where to find docs.
+
+## What ZeroClaw Is
+
+ZeroClaw is an open-source AI agent runtime and CLI for autonomous workflows, tool orchestration, and multi-channel operation.
+
+## Primary References
+
+- Canonical README: https://zeroclaw-labs.github.io/zeroclaw/README.md
+- Source repository: https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw
+
+## Fast Navigation
+
+- Runtime and CLI behavior: inspect `src/main.rs`, `src/lib.rs`, and `docs/commands-reference.md`.
+- Configuration schema and defaults: inspect `src/config/schema.rs`.
+- Agent loop and parsing behavior: inspect `src/agent/loop_.rs` and `src/agent/loop_/`.
+- Channels and prompt assembly: inspect `src/channels/mod.rs`.
+- Skills behavior and security audits: inspect `src/skills/mod.rs` and `src/skills/audit.rs`.
+
+## Working Rules
+
+- Prefer local repository docs first, then public docs.
+- If a behavior changed recently, verify current source code before answering.
+- Keep recommendations aligned with current defaults and security guardrails.

-Rust edition: 2021. MSRV: 1.87. Binary name: `zeroclaw`. Unsafe code is forbidden (`#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`).
-
-## Workspace Structure
-
-Cargo workspace with two members:
-- `.` (root) — the main `zeroclaw` binary crate
-- `crates/robot-kit` — `zeroclaw-robot-kit`, a standalone robotics toolkit (drive, vision, speech, sensors, safety)
-
-## Feature Flags
-
-Default features: `channel-lark`, `web-fetch-html2md`. Notable opt-in features:
-- `hardware` — USB/serial peripheral support (nusb + tokio-serial)
-- `channel-matrix` — Matrix/Element E2EE channel
-- `memory-postgres` — PostgreSQL memory backend
-- `observability-otel` — OpenTelemetry OTLP traces/metrics
-- `browser-native` — Rust-native browser automation (fantoccini/WebDriver)
-- `runtime-wasm` — In-process WASM sandbox (wasmi)
-- `sandbox-landlock` / `sandbox-bubblewrap` — Linux kernel sandboxing
-- `peripheral-rpi` — Raspberry Pi GPIO (rppal, Linux only)
-- `whatsapp-web` — Native WhatsApp Web client (wa-rs)
-- `probe` — probe-rs for STM32/Nucleo debug probe
-- `rag-pdf` — PDF extraction for datasheet RAG
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-ZeroClaw is a trait-driven, modular autonomous agent runtime. The core pattern: define a trait in `/traits.rs`, implement it in sibling modules, register implementations in a factory function in `/mod.rs`.
-
-Key extension points (traits):
-
-- `src/providers/traits.rs` — `Provider` (model inference backends)
-- `src/channels/traits.rs` — `Channel` (messaging platform integrations)
-- `src/tools/traits.rs` — `Tool` (agent-callable capabilities)
-- `src/memory/traits.rs` — `Memory` (persistence backends)
-- `src/observability/traits.rs` — `Observer` (telemetry/metrics)
-- `src/runtime/traits.rs` — `RuntimeAdapter` (execution environments)

-**Data flow**: User message arrives via a `Channel` -> `agent/loop_.rs` orchestrates the conversation -> `Provider` generates LLM responses -> `Tool` executions are dispatched -> results flow back through the channel. `SecurityPolicy` (`src/security/policy.rs`) enforces access control across all tool executions. `Config` (`src/config/schema.rs`) is the single source for all runtime configuration and is effectively a public API.
-
-**Provider resilience**: `ReliableProvider` (`src/providers/reliable.rs`) wraps providers with fallback chains and automatic retry. `router.rs` handles model routing across multiple providers.
-
-**Gateway**: `src/gateway/` is an axum-based HTTP server with webhook endpoints, SSE streaming, WebSocket support, and an OpenAI-compatible API layer.

-## Engineering Protocol
+# CLAUDE.md — ZeroClaw Agent Engineering Protocol
 
 This file defines the default working protocol for Claude agents in this repository.
 Scope: entire repository.
 
 ## 1) Project Snapshot (Read First)
 
-ZeroClaw is a Rust-first autonomous agent runtime optimized for high performance, efficiency, stability, extensibility, sustainability, and security.
+ZeroClaw is a Rust-first autonomous agent runtime optimized for:
+
+- high performance
+- high efficiency
+- high stability
+- high extensibility
+- high sustainability
+- high security
 
 Core architecture is trait-driven and modular. Most extension work should be done by implementing traits and registering in factory modules.
 
+Key extension points:
+
+- `src/providers/traits.rs` (`Provider`)
+- `src/channels/traits.rs` (`Channel`)
+- `src/tools/traits.rs` (`Tool`)
+- `src/memory/traits.rs` (`Memory`)
+- `src/observability/traits.rs` (`Observer`)
+- `src/runtime/traits.rs` (`RuntimeAdapter`)
+- `src/peripherals/traits.rs` (`Peripheral`) — hardware boards (STM32, RPi GPIO)
+

-### ✨ Fonctionnalités
-
-- 🏎️ **Runtime Léger par Défaut :** Les workflows CLI courants et de statut s'exécutent dans une enveloppe mémoire de quelques mégaoctets sur les builds de production.
-- 💰 **Déploiement Économique :** Conçu pour les cartes à faible coût et les petites instances cloud sans dépendances runtime lourdes.
-- ⚡ **Démarrages à Froid Rapides :** Le runtime Rust mono-binaire maintient le démarrage des commandes et démons quasi instantané pour les opérations quotidiennes.
-- 🌍 **Architecture Portable :** Un workflow binaire unique sur ARM, x86 et RISC-V avec fournisseurs/canaux/outils interchangeables.
-
-### Pourquoi les équipes choisissent ZeroClaw
-
-- **Léger par défaut :** petit binaire Rust, démarrage rapide, empreinte mémoire faible.
-- **Sécurisé par conception :** appairage, sandboxing strict, listes d'autorisation explicites, portée de workspace.
-- **Entièrement interchangeable :** les systèmes centraux sont des traits (fournisseurs, canaux, outils, mémoire, tunnels).
-- **Aucun verrouillage :** support de fournisseur compatible OpenAI + endpoints personnalisés pluggables.

-## Instantané de Benchmark (ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw, Reproductible)
-
-Benchmark rapide sur machine locale (macOS arm64, fév. 2026) normalisé pour matériel edge 0.8 GHz.
-
-|                              | OpenClaw      | NanoBot        | PicoClaw        | ZeroClaw 🦀           |
-| ---------------------------- | ------------- | -------------- | --------------- | --------------------- |
-| **Langage**                  | TypeScript    | Python         | Go              | **Rust**              |
-| **RAM**                      | > 1 Go        | > 100 Mo       | < 10 Mo         | **< 5 Mo**            |
-| **Démarrage (cœur 0.8 GHz)** | > 500s        | > 30s          | < 1s            | **< 10ms**            |
-| **Taille Binaire**           | ~28 Mo (dist) | N/A (Scripts)  | ~8 Mo           | **3.4 Mo**            |
-| **Coût**                     | Mac Mini 599$ | Linux SBC ~50$ | Carte Linux 10$ | **Tout matériel 10$** |
-
-> Notes : Les résultats ZeroClaw sont mesurés sur des builds de production utilisant `/usr/bin/time -l`. OpenClaw nécessite le runtime Node.js (typiquement ~390 Mo de surcharge mémoire supplémentaire), tandis que NanoBot nécessite le runtime Python. PicoClaw et ZeroClaw sont des binaires statiques. Les chiffres RAM ci-dessus sont la mémoire runtime ; les exigences de compilation build-time sont plus élevées.

-  Comparaison ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw
-

-
-### Mesure locale reproductible
-
-Les affirmations de benchmark peuvent dériver au fil de l'évolution du code et des toolchains, donc mesurez toujours votre build actuel localement :
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release
-ls -lh target/release/zeroclaw
-
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw --help
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw status
-```
-
-Exemple d'échantillon (macOS arm64, mesuré le 18 février 2026) :
-
-- Taille binaire release : `8.8M`
-- `zeroclaw --help` : environ `0.02s` de temps réel, ~`3.9 Mo` d'empreinte mémoire maximale
-- `zeroclaw status` : environ `0.01s` de temps réel, ~`4.1 Mo` d'empreinte mémoire maximale

-## Démarrage Rapide
-
-### Option 1 : Configuration automatisée (recommandée)
-
-Le script `bootstrap.sh` installe Rust, clone ZeroClaw, le compile, et configure votre environnement de développement initial :
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/main/bootstrap.sh | bash
-```
-
-Ceci va :
-
-1. Installer Rust (si absent)
-2. Cloner le dépôt ZeroClaw
-3. Compiler ZeroClaw en mode release
-4. Installer `zeroclaw` dans `~/.cargo/bin/`
-5. Créer la structure de workspace par défaut dans `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/`
-6. Générer un fichier de configuration `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/config.toml` de démarrage
-
-Après le bootstrap, relancez votre shell ou exécutez `source ~/.cargo/env` pour utiliser la commande `zeroclaw` globalement.
-
-### Option 2 : Installation manuelle
-
-

-Cliquez pour voir les étapes d'installation manuelle
-
-```bash
-# 1. Clonez le dépôt
-git clone https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
-cd zeroclaw
-
-# 2. Compilez en release
-cargo build --release --locked
-
-# 3. Installez le binaire
-cargo install --path . --locked
-
-# 4. Initialisez le workspace
-zeroclaw init
-
-# 5. Vérifiez l'installation
-zeroclaw --version
-zeroclaw status
-```
-
-

-
-### Après l'installation
-
-Une fois installé (via bootstrap ou manuellement), vous devriez voir :
-
-```
-~/.zeroclaw/workspace/
-├── config.toml          # Configuration principale
-├── .pairing             # Secrets de pairing (généré au premier lancement)
-├── logs/                # Journaux de daemon/agent
-├── skills/              # Compétences personnalisées
-└── memory/              # Stockage de contexte conversationnel
-```
-
-**Prochaines étapes :**
-
-1. Configurez vos fournisseurs d'IA dans `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/config.toml`
-2. Consultez la [référence de configuration](docs/config-reference.md) pour les options avancées
-3. Lancez l'agent : `zeroclaw agent start`
-4. Testez via votre canal préféré (voir [référence des canaux](docs/channels-reference.md))
-
-## Configuration
-
-Éditez `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/config.toml` pour configurer les fournisseurs, canaux et comportement du système.
-
-### Référence de Configuration Rapide
-
-```toml
-[providers.anthropic]
-api_key = "sk-ant-..."
-model = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
-
-[providers.openai]
-api_key = "sk-..."
-model = "gpt-4o"
-
-[channels.telegram]
-enabled = true
-bot_token = "123456:ABC-DEF..."
-
-[channels.matrix]
-enabled = true
-homeserver_url = "https://matrix.org"
-username = "@bot:matrix.org"
-password = "..."
-
-[memory]
-kind = "markdown"  # ou "sqlite" ou "none"
-
-[runtime]
-kind = "native"    # ou "docker" (nécessite Docker)
-```

-- [Opérations](docs/operations-runbook.md) — surveillance en production, rotation des secrets, mise à l'échelle
-
-### Support Runtime (actuel)
-
-ZeroClaw prend en charge deux backends d'exécution de code :
-
-- **`native`** (par défaut) — exécution de processus directe, chemin le plus rapide, idéal pour les environnements de confiance
-- **`docker`** — isolation complète du conteneur, politiques de sécurité renforcées, nécessite Docker
-
-Utilisez `runtime.kind = "docker"` si vous avez besoin d'un sandboxing strict ou de l'isolation réseau. Voir [référence de configuration](docs/config-reference.md#runtime) pour les détails complets.

-
-**Principes clés :**
-
-- Tout est un **trait** — fournisseurs, canaux, outils, mémoire, tunnels
-- Les canaux appellent l'orchestrateur ; l'orchestrateur appelle les fournisseurs + outils
-- Le système mémoire gère le contexte conversationnel (markdown, SQLite, ou aucun)
-- Le runtime abstrait l'exécution de code (natif ou Docker)
-- Aucun verrouillage de fournisseur — échangez Anthropic ↔ OpenAI ↔ Gemini ↔ Ollama sans changement de code
-
-Voir [documentation architecture](docs/architecture.svg) pour les diagrammes détaillés et les détails d'implémentation.
-
-## Exemples
-
-### Telegram Bot
-
-```toml
-[channels.telegram]
-enabled = true
-bot_token = "123456:ABC-DEF..."
-allowed_users = [987654321]  # Votre Telegram user ID
-```
-
-Démarrez le daemon + agent, puis envoyez un message à votre bot sur Telegram :
-
-```
-/start
-Bonjour ! Pouvez-vous m'aider à écrire un script Python ?
-```
-
-Le bot répond avec le code généré par l'IA, exécute les outils si demandé, et conserve le contexte de conversation.
-
-### Matrix (chiffré de bout en bout)
-
-```toml
-[channels.matrix]
-enabled = true
-homeserver_url = "https://matrix.org"
-username = "@zeroclaw:matrix.org"
-password = "..."
-device_name = "zeroclaw-prod"
-e2ee_enabled = true
-```
-
-Invitez `@zeroclaw:matrix.org` dans une salle chiffrée, et le bot répondra avec le chiffrement complet. Voir [Guide Matrix E2EE](docs/matrix-e2ee-guide.md) pour la configuration de vérification de dispositif.
-
-### Multi-Fournisseur
-
-```toml
-[providers.anthropic]
-enabled = true
-api_key = "sk-ant-..."
-model = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
-
-[providers.openai]
-enabled = true
-api_key = "sk-..."
-model = "gpt-4o"
-
-[orchestrator]
-default_provider = "anthropic"
-fallback_providers = ["openai"]  # Bascule en cas d'erreur du fournisseur
-```
-
-Si Anthropic échoue ou rate-limit, l'orchestrateur bascule automatiquement vers OpenAI.
-
-### Mémoire Personnalisée
-
-```toml
-[memory]
-kind = "sqlite"
-path = "~/.zeroclaw/workspace/memory/conversations.db"
-retention_days = 90  # Purge automatique après 90 jours
-```
-
-Ou utilisez Markdown pour un stockage lisible par l'humain :
-
-```toml
-[memory]
-kind = "markdown"
-path = "~/.zeroclaw/workspace/memory/"
-```
-
-Voir [Référence de Configuration](docs/config-reference.md#memory) pour toutes les options mémoire.

-- **Runtime Docker** — isolation complète du conteneur, systèmes de fichiers et réseaux séparés
-
-Configurez la politique d'exécution dans `config.toml` :
-
-```toml
-[runtime]
-kind = "docker"
-allowed_tools = ["bash", "python", "filesystem_read"]  # Liste d'autorisation explicite
-```
-
-Voir [Référence de Configuration](docs/config-reference.md#runtime) pour les options de sécurité complètes.
-
-## Déploiement
-
-### Déploiement Local (Développement)

-  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... \
-  zeroclaw:latest
-```
-
-Voir [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) pour les détails de construction et les options de configuration.
-
-### Matériel Edge
-
-ZeroClaw est conçu pour fonctionner sur du matériel à faible consommation d'énergie :
-
-- **Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W** — ~512 Mo RAM, cœur ARMv8 simple, <5$ coût matériel
-- **Raspberry Pi 4/5** — 1 Go+ RAM, multi-cœur, idéal pour les charges de travail concurrentes
-- **Orange Pi Zero 2** — ~512 Mo RAM, quad-core ARMv8, coût ultra-faible
-- **SBCs x86 (Intel N100)** — 4-8 Go RAM, builds rapides, support Docker natif
-
-Voir [Guide du Matériel](docs/hardware/README.md) pour les instructions de configuration spécifiques aux dispositifs.
-
-## Tunneling (Exposition Publique)
-
-Exposez votre daemon ZeroClaw local au réseau public via des tunnels sécurisés :
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw tunnel start --provider cloudflare
-```
-
-Fournisseurs de tunnel supportés :
-
-- **Cloudflare Tunnel** — HTTPS gratuit, aucune exposition de port, support multi-domaine
-- **Ngrok** — configuration rapide, domaines personnalisés (plan payant)
-- **Tailscale** — réseau maillé privé, pas de port public
-
-Voir [Référence de Configuration](docs/config-reference.md#tunnel) pour les options de configuration complètes.
-
-## Sécurité
-
-ZeroClaw implémente plusieurs couches de sécurité :
-
-### Pairing
-
-Le daemon génère un secret de pairing au premier lancement stocké dans `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/.pairing`. Les clients (agent, CLI) doivent présenter ce secret pour se connecter.
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw pairing rotate  # Génère un nouveau secret et invalide l'ancien
-```
-
-### Sandboxing
-
-- **Runtime Docker** — isolation complète du conteneur avec systèmes de fichiers et réseaux séparés
-- **Runtime Natif** — exécute en tant que processus utilisateur, scoped au workspace par défaut
-
-### Listes d'Autorisation
-
-Les canaux peuvent restreindre l'accès par ID utilisateur :
-
-```toml
-[channels.telegram]
-enabled = true
-allowed_users = [123456789, 987654321]  # Liste d'autorisation explicite
-```
-
-### Chiffrement
-
-- **Matrix E2EE** — chiffrement de bout en bout complet avec vérification de dispositif
-- **Transport TLS** — tout le trafic API et tunnel utilise HTTPS/TLS
-
-Voir [Documentation Sécurité](docs/security/README.md) pour les politiques et pratiques complètes.
-
-## Observabilité
-
-ZeroClaw journalise vers `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/logs/` par défaut. Les journaux sont stockés par composant :
-
-```
-~/.zeroclaw/workspace/logs/
-├── daemon.log           # Journaux du daemon (startup, requêtes API, erreurs)
-├── agent.log            # Journaux de l'agent (routage message, exécution outil)
-├── telegram.log         # Journaux spécifiques au canal (si activé)
-└── matrix.log           # Journaux spécifiques au canal (si activé)
-```
-
-### Configuration de Journalisation
-
-```toml
-[logging]
-level = "info"                           # debug, info, warn, error
-path = "~/.zeroclaw/workspace/logs/"
-rotation = "daily"                       # daily, hourly, size
-max_size_mb = 100                        # Pour rotation basée sur la taille
-retention_days = 30                      # Purge automatique après N jours
-```
-
-Voir [Référence de Configuration](docs/config-reference.md#logging) pour toutes les options de journalisation.
-
-### Métriques (Planifié)
-
-Support de métriques Prometheus pour la surveillance en production à venir. Suivi dans [#234](https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/issues/234).
-
-## Compétences (Skills)
-
-ZeroClaw prend en charge les compétences personnalisées — des modules réutilisables qui étendent les capacités du système.
-
-### Définition de Compétence
-
-Les compétences sont stockées dans `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/skills//` avec cette structure :
-
-```
-skills/
-└── ma-compétence/
-    ├── skill.toml       # Métadonnées de compétence (nom, description, dépendances)
-    ├── prompt.md        # Prompt système pour l'IA
-    └── tools/           # Outils personnalisés optionnels
-        └── mon_outil.py
-```
-
-### Exemple de Compétence
-
-```toml
-# skills/recherche-web/skill.toml
-[skill]
-name = "recherche-web"
-description = "Recherche sur le web et résume les résultats"
-version = "1.0.0"
-
-[dependencies]
-tools = ["web_fetch", "bash"]
-```
-
-```markdown
-
-
-Tu es un assistant de recherche. Lorsqu'on te demande de rechercher quelque chose :
-
-1. Utilise web_fetch pour récupérer le contenu
-2. Résume les résultats dans un format facile à lire
-3. Cite les sources avec des URLs
-```
-
-### Utilisation de Compétences
-
-Les compétences sont chargées automatiquement au démarrage de l'agent. Référencez-les par nom dans les conversations :
-
-```
-Utilisateur : Utilise la compétence recherche-web pour trouver les dernières actualités IA
-Bot : [charge la compétence recherche-web, exécute web_fetch, résume les résultats]
-```
-
-Voir la section [Compétences (Skills)](#compétences-skills) pour les instructions de création de compétences complètes.
-
-## Open Skills
-
-ZeroClaw prend en charge les [Open Skills](https://github.com/openagents-com/open-skills) — un système modulaire et agnostique des fournisseurs pour étendre les capacités des agents IA.
-
-### Activer Open Skills
-
-```toml
-[skills]
-open_skills_enabled = true
-# open_skills_dir = "/path/to/open-skills"  # optionnel
-```
-
-Vous pouvez également surcharger au runtime avec `ZEROCLAW_OPEN_SKILLS_ENABLED` et `ZEROCLAW_OPEN_SKILLS_DIR`.
-
-## Développement
-
-```bash
-cargo build              # Build de développement
-cargo build --release    # Build release (codegen-units=1, fonctionne sur tous les dispositifs incluant Raspberry Pi)
-cargo build --profile release-fast    # Build plus rapide (codegen-units=8, nécessite 16 Go+ RAM)
-cargo test               # Exécute la suite de tests complète
-cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D clippy::correctness
-cargo fmt                # Format
-
-# Exécute le benchmark de comparaison SQLite vs Markdown
-cargo test --test memory_comparison -- --nocapture
-```
-
-### Hook pre-push
-
-Un hook git exécute `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy -- -D warnings`, et `cargo test` avant chaque push. Activez-le une fois :
-
-```bash
-git config core.hooksPath .githooks
-```
-
-### Dépannage de Build (erreurs OpenSSL sur Linux)
-
-Si vous rencontrez une erreur de build `openssl-sys`, synchronisez les dépendances et recompilez avec le lockfile du dépôt :
-
-```bash
-git pull
-cargo build --release --locked
-cargo install --path . --force --locked
-```
-
-ZeroClaw est configuré pour utiliser `rustls` pour les dépendances HTTP/TLS ; `--locked` maintient le graphe transitif déterministe sur les environnements vierges.
-
-Pour sauter le hook lorsque vous avez besoin d'un push rapide pendant le développement :
-
-```bash
-git push --no-verify
-```

-
-## 概要
-
-ZeroClaw は、高速・省リソース・高拡張性を重視した自律エージェント実行基盤です。ZeroClawはエージェントワークフローのための**ランタイムオペレーティングシステム**です — モデル、ツール、メモリ、実行を抽象化し、エージェントを一度構築すればどこでも実行できるインフラストラクチャです。
-
-- Rust ネイティブ実装、単一バイナリで配布可能
-- Trait ベース設計（`Provider` / `Channel` / `Tool` / `Memory` など）
-- セキュアデフォルト（ペアリング、明示 allowlist、サンドボックス、スコープ制御）
-
-## ZeroClaw が選ばれる理由
-
-- **軽量ランタイムを標準化**: CLI や `status` などの常用操作は数MB級メモリで動作。
-- **低コスト環境に適合**: 低価格ボードや小規模クラウドでも、重い実行基盤なしで運用可能。
-- **高速コールドスタート**: Rust 単一バイナリにより、主要コマンドと daemon 起動が非常に速い。
-- **高い移植性**: ARM / x86 / RISC-V を同じ運用モデルで扱え、provider/channel/tool を差し替え可能。
-
-## ベンチマークスナップショット（ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw、再現可能）
-
-以下はローカルのクイック比較（macOS arm64、2026年2月）を、0.8GHz エッジ CPU 基準で正規化したものです。
-
-| | OpenClaw | NanoBot | PicoClaw | ZeroClaw 🦀 |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **言語** | TypeScript | Python | Go | **Rust** |
-| **RAM** | > 1GB | > 100MB | < 10MB | **< 5MB** |
-| **起動時間（0.8GHz コア）** | > 500s | > 30s | < 1s | **< 10ms** |
-| **バイナリサイズ** | ~28MB（dist） | N/A（スクリプト） | ~8MB | **~8.8 MB** |
-| **コスト** | Mac Mini $599 | Linux SBC ~$50 | Linux ボード $10 | **任意の $10 ハードウェア** |
-
-> 注記: ZeroClaw の結果は release ビルドを `/usr/bin/time -l` で計測したものです。OpenClaw は Node.js ランタイムが必要で、ランタイム由来だけで通常は約390MBの追加メモリを要します。NanoBot は Python ランタイムが必要です。PicoClaw と ZeroClaw は静的バイナリです。

-
-### ローカルで再現可能な測定
-
-ベンチマーク値はコードやツールチェーン更新で変わるため、必ず自身の環境で再測定してください。
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release
-ls -lh target/release/zeroclaw
-
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw --help
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw status
-```
-
-README のサンプル値（macOS arm64, 2026-02-18）:
-
-- Release バイナリ: `8.8M`
-- `zeroclaw --help`: 約 `0.02s`、ピークメモリ 約 `3.9MB`
-- `zeroclaw status`: 約 `0.01s`、ピークメモリ 約 `4.1MB`

-
-## Subscription Auth（OpenAI Codex / Claude Code）
-
-ZeroClaw はサブスクリプションベースのネイティブ認証プロファイルをサポートしています（マルチアカウント対応、保存時暗号化）。
-
-- 保存先: `~/.zeroclaw/auth-profiles.json`
-- 暗号化キー: `~/.zeroclaw/.secret_key`
-- Profile ID 形式: `:`（例: `openai-codex:work`）
-
-OpenAI Codex OAuth（ChatGPT サブスクリプション）:
-
-```bash
-# サーバー/ヘッドレス環境向け推奨
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --device-code
-
-# ブラウザ/コールバックフロー（ペーストフォールバック付き）
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth paste-redirect --provider openai-codex --profile default
-
-# 確認 / リフレッシュ / プロファイル切替
-zeroclaw auth status
-zeroclaw auth refresh --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth use --provider openai-codex --profile work
-```
-
-Claude Code / Anthropic setup-token:
-
-```bash
-# サブスクリプション/setup token の貼り付け（Authorization header モード）
-zeroclaw auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile default --auth-kind authorization
-
-# エイリアスコマンド
-zeroclaw auth setup-token --provider anthropic --profile default
-```
-
-Subscription auth で agent を実行:
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex -m "hello"
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex --auth-profile openai-codex:work -m "hello"
-
-# Anthropic は API key と auth token の両方の環境変数をサポート:
-# ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
-zeroclaw agent --provider anthropic -m "hello"
-```

-| Дата (UTC) | Уровень | Объявление | Действие |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 2026-02-19 | _Срочно_ | Мы **не аффилированы** с `openagen/zeroclaw` и `zeroclaw.org`. Домен `zeroclaw.org` сейчас указывает на fork `openagen/zeroclaw`, и этот домен/репозиторий выдают себя за наш официальный сайт и проект. | Не доверяйте информации, бинарникам, сборам средств и «официальным» объявлениям из этих источников. Используйте только [этот репозиторий](https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw) и наши верифицированные соцсети. |
-| 2026-02-21 | _Важно_ | Наш официальный сайт уже запущен: [zeroclawlabs.ai](https://zeroclawlabs.ai). Спасибо, что дождались запуска. При этом попытки выдавать себя за ZeroClaw продолжаются, поэтому не участвуйте в инвестициях, сборах средств и похожих активностях, если они не подтверждены через наши официальные каналы. | Ориентируйтесь только на [этот репозиторий](https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw); также следите за [X (@zeroclawlabs)](https://x.com/zeroclawlabs?s=21), [Telegram (@zeroclawlabs)](https://t.me/zeroclawlabs), [Facebook (группа)](https://www.facebook.com/groups/zeroclaw), [Reddit (r/zeroclawlabs)](https://www.reddit.com/r/zeroclawlabs/) и [Xiaohongshu](https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/67cbfc43000000000d008307?xsec_token=AB73VnYnGNx5y36EtnnZfGmAmS-6Wzv8WMuGpfwfkg6Yc%3D&xsec_source=pc_search) для официальных обновлений. |

-## О проекте
-
-ZeroClaw — это производительная и расширяемая инфраструктура автономного AI-агента. ZeroClaw — это **операционная система времени выполнения** для агентных рабочих процессов — инфраструктура, абстрагирующая модели, инструменты, память и выполнение, позволяя создавать агентов один раз и запускать где угодно.
-
-- Нативно на Rust, единый бинарник, переносимость между ARM / x86 / RISC-V
-- Архитектура на Trait (`Provider`, `Channel`, `Tool`, `Memory` и др.)
-- Безопасные значения по умолчанию: pairing, явные allowlist, sandbox и scope-ограничения
-
-## Почему выбирают ZeroClaw
-
-- **Лёгкий runtime по умолчанию**: Повседневные CLI-операции и `status` обычно укладываются в несколько МБ памяти.
-- **Оптимизирован для недорогих сред**: Подходит для бюджетных плат и небольших cloud-инстансов без тяжёлой runtime-обвязки.
-- **Быстрый cold start**: Архитектура одного Rust-бинарника ускоряет запуск основных команд и daemon-режима.
-- **Портативная модель деплоя**: Единый подход для ARM / x86 / RISC-V и возможность менять providers/channels/tools.
-
-## Снимок бенчмарка (ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw, воспроизводимо)
-
-Ниже — быстрый локальный сравнительный срез (macOS arm64, февраль 2026), нормализованный под 0.8GHz edge CPU.
-
-| | OpenClaw | NanoBot | PicoClaw | ZeroClaw 🦀 |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **Язык** | TypeScript | Python | Go | **Rust** |
-| **RAM** | > 1GB | > 100MB | < 10MB | **< 5MB** |
-| **Старт (ядро 0.8GHz)** | > 500s | > 30s | < 1s | **< 10ms** |
-| **Размер бинарника** | ~28MB (dist) | N/A (скрипты) | ~8MB | **~8.8 MB** |
-| **Стоимость** | Mac Mini $599 | Linux SBC ~$50 | Linux-плата $10 | **Любое железо за $10** |
-
-> Примечание: результаты ZeroClaw получены на release-сборке с помощью `/usr/bin/time -l`. OpenClaw требует Node.js runtime; только этот runtime обычно добавляет около 390MB дополнительного потребления памяти. NanoBot требует Python runtime. PicoClaw и ZeroClaw — статические бинарники.

-
-### Локально воспроизводимое измерение
-
-Метрики могут меняться вместе с кодом и toolchain, поэтому проверяйте результаты в своей среде:
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release
-ls -lh target/release/zeroclaw
-
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw --help
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw status
-```
-
-Текущие примерные значения из README (macOS arm64, 2026-02-18):
-
-- Размер release-бинарника: `8.8M`
-- `zeroclaw --help`: ~`0.02s`, пик памяти ~`3.9MB`
-- `zeroclaw status`: ~`0.01s`, пик памяти ~`4.1MB`

-
-## Subscription Auth (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code)
-
-ZeroClaw поддерживает нативные профили авторизации на основе подписки (мультиаккаунт, шифрование при хранении).
-
-- Файл хранения: `~/.zeroclaw/auth-profiles.json`
-- Ключ шифрования: `~/.zeroclaw/.secret_key`
-- Формат Profile ID: `:` (пример: `openai-codex:work`)
-
-OpenAI Codex OAuth (подписка ChatGPT):
-
-```bash
-# Рекомендуется для серверов/headless-окружений
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --device-code
-
-# Браузерный/callback-поток с paste-фолбэком
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth paste-redirect --provider openai-codex --profile default
-
-# Проверка / обновление / переключение профиля
-zeroclaw auth status
-zeroclaw auth refresh --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth use --provider openai-codex --profile work
-```
-
-Claude Code / Anthropic setup-token:
-
-```bash
-# Вставка subscription/setup token (режим Authorization header)
-zeroclaw auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile default --auth-kind authorization
-
-# Команда-алиас
-zeroclaw auth setup-token --provider anthropic --profile default
-```
-
-Запуск agent с subscription auth:
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex -m "hello"
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex --auth-profile openai-codex:work -m "hello"
-
-# Anthropic поддерживает и API key, и auth token через переменные окружения:
-# ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
-zeroclaw agent --provider anthropic -m "hello"
-```
-
-## Архитектура
-
-Каждая подсистема — это **Trait**: меняйте реализации через конфигурацию, без изменения кода.
-
-

-  Архитектура ZeroClaw
-

-
-| Подсистема | Trait | Встроенные реализации | Расширение |
-|-----------|-------|---------------------|------------|
-| **AI-модели** | `Provider` | Каталог через `zeroclaw providers` (сейчас 28 встроенных + алиасы, плюс пользовательские endpoint) | `custom:https://your-api.com` (OpenAI-совместимый) или `anthropic-custom:https://your-api.com` |
-| **Каналы** | `Channel` | CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, iMessage, Matrix, Signal, WhatsApp, Linq, Email, IRC, Lark, DingTalk, QQ, Webhook | Любой messaging API |
-| **Память** | `Memory` | SQLite гибридный поиск, PostgreSQL-бэкенд, Lucid-мост, Markdown-файлы, явный `none`-бэкенд, snapshot/hydrate, опциональный кэш ответов | Любой persistence-бэкенд |
-| **Инструменты** | `Tool` | shell/file/memory, cron/schedule, git, pushover, browser, http_request, screenshot/image_info, composio (opt-in), delegate, аппаратные инструменты | Любая функциональность |
-| **Наблюдаемость** | `Observer` | Noop, Log, Multi | Prometheus, OTel |
-| **Runtime** | `RuntimeAdapter` | Native, Docker (sandbox) | Через adapter; неподдерживаемые kind завершаются с ошибкой |
-| **Безопасность** | `SecurityPolicy` | Gateway pairing, sandbox, allowlist, rate limits, scoping файловой системы, шифрование секретов | — |
-| **Идентификация** | `IdentityConfig` | OpenClaw (markdown), AIEOS v1.1 (JSON) | Любой формат идентификации |
-| **Туннели** | `Tunnel` | None, Cloudflare, Tailscale, ngrok, Custom | Любой tunnel-бинарник |
-| **Heartbeat** | Engine | HEARTBEAT.md — периодические задачи | — |
-| **Навыки** | Loader | TOML-манифесты + SKILL.md-инструкции | Пакеты навыков сообщества |
-| **Интеграции** | Registry | 70+ интеграций в 9 категориях | Плагинная система |
-
-### Поддержка runtime (текущая)
-
-- ✅ Поддерживается сейчас: `runtime.kind = "native"` или `runtime.kind = "docker"`
-- 🚧 Запланировано, но ещё не реализовано: WASM / edge-runtime
-
-При указании неподдерживаемого `runtime.kind` ZeroClaw завершается с явной ошибкой, а не молча откатывается к native.
-
-### Система памяти (полнофункциональный поисковый движок)
-
-Полностью собственная реализация, ноль внешних зависимостей — без Pinecone, Elasticsearch, LangChain:
-
-| Уровень | Реализация |
-|---------|-----------|
-| **Векторная БД** | Embeddings хранятся как BLOB в SQLite, поиск по косинусному сходству |
-| **Поиск по ключевым словам** | Виртуальные таблицы FTS5 со скорингом BM25 |
-| **Гибридное слияние** | Пользовательская взвешенная функция слияния (`vector.rs`) |
-| **Embeddings** | Trait `EmbeddingProvider` — OpenAI, пользовательский URL или noop |
-| **Чанкинг** | Построчный Markdown-чанкер с сохранением заголовков |
-| **Кэширование** | Таблица `embedding_cache` в SQLite с LRU-вытеснением |
-| **Безопасная переиндексация** | Атомарная перестройка FTS5 + повторное встраивание отсутствующих векторов |
-
-Agent автоматически вспоминает, сохраняет и управляет памятью через инструменты.
-
-```toml
-[memory]
-backend = "sqlite"             # "sqlite", "lucid", "postgres", "markdown", "none"
-auto_save = true
-embedding_provider = "none"    # "none", "openai", "custom:https://..."
-vector_weight = 0.7
-keyword_weight = 0.3
-```
-
-## Важные security-дефолты
-
-- Gateway по умолчанию: `127.0.0.1:42617`
-- Pairing обязателен по умолчанию: `require_pairing = true`
-- Публичный bind запрещён по умолчанию: `allow_public_bind = false`
-- Семантика allowlist каналов:
-  - `[]` => deny-by-default
-  - `["*"]` => allow all (используйте осознанно)
-
-## Пример конфигурации
-
-```toml
-api_key = "sk-..."
-default_provider = "openrouter"
-default_model = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"

-### ✨ Tính năng
-
-- 🏎️ **Mặc định tinh gọn:** Các tác vụ CLI và kiểm tra trạng thái chỉ tốn vài MB bộ nhớ trên bản release.
-- 💰 **Triển khai rẻ:** Chạy tốt trên board giá rẻ và instance cloud nhỏ, không cần runtime nặng.
-- ⚡ **Khởi động lạnh nhanh:** Một binary Rust duy nhất — lệnh và daemon khởi động gần như tức thì.
-- 🌍 **Chạy ở đâu cũng được:** Một binary chạy trên ARM, x86 và RISC-V — provider/channel/tool hoán đổi tự do.
-
-### Vì sao các team chọn ZeroClaw
-
-- **Mặc định tinh gọn:** binary Rust nhỏ, khởi động nhanh, tốn ít bộ nhớ.
-- **Bảo mật từ gốc:** xác thực ghép cặp, sandbox nghiêm ngặt, allowlist rõ ràng, giới hạn workspace.
-- **Hoán đổi tự do:** mọi hệ thống cốt lõi đều là trait (provider, channel, tool, memory, tunnel).
-- **Không khoá vendor:** hỗ trợ provider tương thích OpenAI + endpoint tùy chỉnh dễ dàng mở rộng.

-## So sánh hiệu suất (ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw, có thể tái tạo)
-
-Đo nhanh trên máy cục bộ (macOS arm64, tháng 2/2026), quy đổi cho phần cứng edge 0.8GHz.
-
-| | OpenClaw | NanoBot | PicoClaw | ZeroClaw 🦀 |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **Ngôn ngữ** | TypeScript | Python | Go | **Rust** |
-| **RAM** | > 1GB | > 100MB | < 10MB | **< 5MB** |
-| **Khởi động (lõi 0.8GHz)** | > 500s | > 30s | < 1s | **< 10ms** |
-| **Kích thước binary** | ~28MB (dist) | N/A (Scripts) | ~8MB | **3.4 MB** |
-| **Chi phí** | Mac Mini $599 | Linux SBC ~$50 | Linux Board $10 | **Phần cứng bất kỳ $10** |
-
-> Ghi chú: Kết quả ZeroClaw được đo trên release build sử dụng `/usr/bin/time -l`. OpenClaw yêu cầu runtime Node.js (thường thêm ~390MB bộ nhớ overhead), còn NanoBot yêu cầu runtime Python. PicoClaw và ZeroClaw là các static binary. Số RAM ở trên là bộ nhớ runtime; yêu cầu biên dịch lúc build-time sẽ cao hơn.

-  ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw Comparison
-

-
-### Tự đo trên máy bạn
-
-Kết quả benchmark thay đổi theo code và toolchain, nên hãy tự đo bản build hiện tại:
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release
-ls -lh target/release/zeroclaw
-
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw --help
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw status
-```
-
-Ví dụ mẫu (macOS arm64, đo ngày 18 tháng 2 năm 2026):
-
-- Kích thước binary release: `8.8M`
-- `zeroclaw --help`: khoảng `0.02s`, bộ nhớ đỉnh ~`3.9MB`
-- `zeroclaw status`: khoảng `0.01s`, bộ nhớ đỉnh ~`4.1MB`
-
-## Yêu cầu hệ thống
-
-

-Windows
-
-### Bắt buộc (Windows)
-
-1. **Visual Studio Build Tools** (cung cấp MSVC linker và Windows SDK):
-   ```powershell
-   winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.BuildTools
-   ```
-   Trong quá trình cài đặt (hoặc qua Visual Studio Installer), chọn workload **"Desktop development with C++"**.
-
-2. **Rust toolchain:**
-   ```powershell
-   winget install Rustlang.Rustup
-   ```
-   Sau khi cài đặt, mở terminal mới và chạy `rustup default stable` để đảm bảo toolchain stable đang hoạt động.
-
-3. **Xác minh** cả hai đang hoạt động:
-   ```powershell
-   rustc --version
-   cargo --version
-   ```
-
-### Tùy chọn (Windows)
-
-- **Docker Desktop** — chỉ cần thiết nếu dùng mục `### Hỗ trợ runtime (hiện tại)` (`runtime.kind = "docker"`). Cài đặt qua `winget install Docker.DockerDesktop`.
-
-

-
-

-Linux / macOS
-
-### Bắt buộc (Linux/macOS)
-
-1. **Công cụ build cơ bản:**
-   - **Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):** `sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config`
-   - **Linux (Fedora/RHEL):** `sudo dnf group install development-tools && sudo dnf install pkg-config`
-   - **macOS:** Cài đặt Xcode Command Line Tools: `xcode-select --install`
-
-2. **Rust toolchain:**
-   ```bash
-   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
-   ```
-   Xem [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs) để biết thêm chi tiết.
-
-3. **Xác minh** cả hai đang hoạt động:
-   ```bash
-   rustc --version
-   cargo --version
-   ```
-
-#### Cài bằng một lệnh
-
-Hoặc bỏ qua các bước trên, cài hết mọi thứ (system deps, Rust, ZeroClaw) chỉ bằng một lệnh:
-
-```bash
-curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
-```
-
-#### Yêu cầu tài nguyên biên dịch
-
-Việc build từ source đòi hỏi nhiều tài nguyên hơn so với chạy binary kết quả:
-
-| Tài nguyên | Tối thiểu | Khuyến nghị |
-|---|---|---|
-| **RAM + swap** | 2 GB | 4 GB+ |
-| **Dung lượng đĩa trống** | 6 GB | 10 GB+ |
-
-Nếu cấu hình máy thấp hơn mức tối thiểu, dùng binary có sẵn:
-
-```bash
-./bootstrap.sh --prefer-prebuilt
-```
-
-Chỉ cài từ binary, không quay lại build từ source:
-
-```bash
-./bootstrap.sh --prebuilt-only
-```
-
-### Tùy chọn (Linux/macOS)
-
-- **Docker** — chỉ cần thiết nếu dùng mục `### Hỗ trợ runtime (hiện tại)` (`runtime.kind = "docker"`). Cài đặt qua package manager hoặc [docker.com](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
-
-> **Lưu ý:** Lệnh `cargo build --release` mặc định dùng `codegen-units=1` để giảm áp lực biên dịch đỉnh. Để build nhanh hơn trên máy mạnh, dùng `cargo build --profile release-fast`.
-
-

-
-## Bắt đầu nhanh
-
-### Homebrew (macOS/Linuxbrew)
-
-```bash
-brew install zeroclaw
-```
-
-### Bootstrap một lần bấm
-
-```bash
-# Khuyến nghị: clone rồi chạy script bootstrap cục bộ
-git clone https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
-cd zeroclaw
-./bootstrap.sh
-
-# Tùy chọn: cài đặt system dependencies + Rust trên máy mới
-./bootstrap.sh --install-system-deps --install-rust
-
-# Tùy chọn: ưu tiên binary dựng sẵn (khuyến nghị cho máy ít RAM/ít dung lượng đĩa)
-./bootstrap.sh --prefer-prebuilt
-
-# Tùy chọn: cài đặt chỉ từ binary (không fallback sang build source)
-./bootstrap.sh --prebuilt-only
-
-# Tùy chọn: chạy onboarding trong cùng luồng
-./bootstrap.sh --onboard --api-key "sk-..." --provider openrouter [--model "openrouter/auto"]
-
-# Tùy chọn: chạy bootstrap + onboarding hoàn toàn ở chế độ tương thích với Docker
-./bootstrap.sh --docker
-
-# Tùy chọn: ép dùng Podman làm container CLI
-ZEROCLAW_CONTAINER_CLI=podman ./bootstrap.sh --docker
-
-# Tùy chọn: ở chế độ --docker, bỏ qua build image local và dùng tag local hoặc pull image fallback
-./bootstrap.sh --docker --skip-build
-```
-
-Cài từ xa bằng một lệnh (nên xem trước nếu môi trường nhạy cảm về bảo mật):
-
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash
-```
-

-
-> **Chạy trực tiếp khi phát triển (không cần cài toàn cục):** thêm `cargo run --release --` trước lệnh (ví dụ: `cargo run --release -- status`).
-
-## Xác thực theo gói đăng ký (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code)
-
-ZeroClaw hỗ trợ profile xác thực theo gói đăng ký (đa tài khoản, mã hóa khi lưu).
-
-- File lưu trữ: `~/.zeroclaw/auth-profiles.json`
-- Khóa mã hóa: `~/.zeroclaw/.secret_key`
-- Định dạng profile id: `:` (ví dụ: `openai-codex:work`)
-
-OpenAI Codex OAuth (đăng ký ChatGPT):
-
-```bash
-# Khuyến nghị trên server/headless
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --device-code
-
-# Luồng Browser/callback với fallback paste
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth paste-redirect --provider openai-codex --profile default
-
-# Kiểm tra / làm mới / chuyển profile
-zeroclaw auth status
-zeroclaw auth refresh --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth use --provider openai-codex --profile work
-```
-
-Claude Code / Anthropic setup-token:
-
-```bash
-# Dán token đăng ký/setup (chế độ Authorization header)
-zeroclaw auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile default --auth-kind authorization
-
-# Lệnh alias
-zeroclaw auth setup-token --provider anthropic --profile default
-```
-
-Chạy agent với xác thực đăng ký:
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex -m "hello"
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex --auth-profile openai-codex:work -m "hello"
-
-# Anthropic hỗ trợ cả API key và biến môi trường auth token:
-# ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
-zeroclaw agent --provider anthropic -m "hello"
-```
-
-## Kiến trúc
-
-Mọi hệ thống con đều là **trait** — chỉ cần đổi cấu hình, không cần sửa code.
-
-

-  ZeroClaw Architecture
-

-
-| Hệ thống con | Trait | Đi kèm sẵn | Mở rộng |
-|-----------|-------|------------|--------|
-| **Mô hình AI** | `Provider` | Danh mục provider qua `zeroclaw providers` (hiện có 28 built-in + alias, cộng endpoint tùy chỉnh) | `custom:https://your-api.com` (tương thích OpenAI) hoặc `anthropic-custom:https://your-api.com` |
-| **Channel** | `Channel` | CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, iMessage, Matrix, Signal, WhatsApp, Linq, Email, IRC, Lark, DingTalk, QQ, Webhook | Bất kỳ messaging API nào |
-| **Memory** | `Memory` | SQLite hybrid search, PostgreSQL backend (storage provider có thể cấu hình), Lucid bridge, Markdown files, backend `none` tường minh, snapshot/hydrate, response cache tùy chọn | Bất kỳ persistence backend nào |
-| **Tool** | `Tool` | shell/file/memory, cron/schedule, git, pushover, browser, http_request, screenshot/image_info, composio (opt-in), delegate, hardware tools | Bất kỳ khả năng nào |
-| **Observability** | `Observer` | Noop, Log, Multi | Prometheus, OTel |
-| **Runtime** | `RuntimeAdapter` | Native, Docker (sandboxed) | Có thể thêm runtime bổ sung qua adapter; các kind không được hỗ trợ sẽ fail nhanh |
-| **Bảo mật** | `SecurityPolicy` | Ghép cặp gateway, sandbox, allowlist, giới hạn tốc độ, phân vùng filesystem, secret mã hóa | — |
-| **Định danh** | `IdentityConfig` | OpenClaw (markdown), AIEOS v1.1 (JSON) | Bất kỳ định dạng định danh nào |
-| **Tunnel** | `Tunnel` | None, Cloudflare, Tailscale, ngrok, Custom | Bất kỳ tunnel binary nào |
-| **Heartbeat** | Engine | Tác vụ định kỳ HEARTBEAT.md | — |
-| **Skill** | Loader | TOML manifest + hướng dẫn SKILL.md | Community skill pack |
-| **Tích hợp** | Registry | 70+ tích hợp trong 9 danh mục | Plugin system |
-
-### Hỗ trợ runtime (hiện tại)
-
-- ✅ Được hỗ trợ hiện nay: `runtime.kind = "native"` hoặc `runtime.kind = "docker"`
-- 🚧 Đã lên kế hoạch, chưa triển khai: WASM / edge runtime
-
-Khi cấu hình `runtime.kind` không được hỗ trợ, ZeroClaw sẽ thoát với thông báo lỗi rõ ràng thay vì âm thầm fallback về native.
-
-### Hệ thống Memory (Search Engine toàn diện)
-
-Tự phát triển hoàn toàn, không phụ thuộc bên ngoài — không Pinecone, không Elasticsearch, không LangChain:
-
-| Lớp | Triển khai |
-|-------|---------------|
-| **Vector DB** | Embeddings lưu dưới dạng BLOB trong SQLite, tìm kiếm cosine similarity |
-| **Keyword Search** | Bảng ảo FTS5 với BM25 scoring |
-| **Hybrid Merge** | Hàm merge có trọng số tùy chỉnh (`vector.rs`) |
-| **Embeddings** | Trait `EmbeddingProvider` — OpenAI, URL tùy chỉnh, hoặc noop |
-| **Chunking** | Bộ chia đoạn markdown theo dòng, giữ nguyên heading |
-| **Caching** | Bảng SQLite `embedding_cache` với LRU eviction |
-| **Safe Reindex** | Rebuild FTS5 + re-embed các vector bị thiếu theo cách nguyên tử |
-
-Agent tự động ghi nhớ, lưu trữ và quản lý memory qua các tool.
-
-```toml
-[memory]
-backend = "sqlite"             # "sqlite", "lucid", "postgres", "markdown", "none"
-auto_save = true
-embedding_provider = "none"    # "none", "openai", "custom:https://..."
-vector_weight = 0.7
-keyword_weight = 0.3
-
-# backend = "none" sử dụng no-op memory backend tường minh (không có persistence)
-
-# Tùy chọn: ghi đè storage-provider cho remote memory backend.
-# Khi provider = "postgres", ZeroClaw dùng PostgreSQL để lưu memory.
-# Khóa db_url cũng chấp nhận alias `dbURL` để tương thích ngược.
-#
-# [storage.provider.config]
-# provider = "postgres"
-# db_url = "postgres://user:password@host:5432/zeroclaw"
-# schema = "public"
-# table = "memories"
-# connect_timeout_secs = 15
-
-# Tùy chọn cho backend = "sqlite": số giây tối đa chờ khi mở DB (ví dụ: file bị khóa). Bỏ qua hoặc để trống để không có timeout.
-# sqlite_open_timeout_secs = 30
-
-# Tùy chọn cho backend = "lucid"
-# ZEROCLAW_LUCID_CMD=/usr/local/bin/lucid            # mặc định: lucid
-# ZEROCLAW_LUCID_BUDGET=200                          # mặc định: 200
-# ZEROCLAW_LUCID_LOCAL_HIT_THRESHOLD=3               # số lần hit cục bộ để bỏ qua external recall
-# ZEROCLAW_LUCID_RECALL_TIMEOUT_MS=120               # giới hạn thời gian cho lucid context recall
-# ZEROCLAW_LUCID_STORE_TIMEOUT_MS=800                # timeout đồng bộ async cho lucid store
-# ZEROCLAW_LUCID_FAILURE_COOLDOWN_MS=15000           # thời gian nghỉ sau lỗi lucid, tránh thử lại liên tục
-```
-
-## Bảo mật
-
-ZeroClaw thực thi bảo mật ở **mọi lớp** — không chỉ sandbox. Đáp ứng tất cả các hạng mục trong danh sách kiểm tra bảo mật của cộng đồng.
-
-### Danh sách kiểm tra bảo mật
-
-| # | Hạng mục | Trạng thái | Cách thực hiện |
-|---|------|--------|-----|
-| 1 | **Gateway không công khai ra ngoài** | ✅ | Bind vào `127.0.0.1` theo mặc định. Từ chối `0.0.0.0` nếu không có tunnel hoặc `allow_public_bind = true` tường minh. |
-| 2 | **Yêu cầu ghép cặp** | ✅ | Mã một lần 6 chữ số khi khởi động. Trao đổi qua `POST /pair` để lấy bearer token. Mọi yêu cầu `/webhook` đều cần `Authorization: Bearer `. |
-| 3 | **Phân vùng filesystem (không phải /)** | ✅ | `workspace_only = true` theo mặc định. Chặn 14 thư mục hệ thống + 4 dotfile nhạy cảm. Chặn null byte injection. Phát hiện symlink escape qua canonicalization + kiểm tra resolved-path trong các tool đọc/ghi file. |
-| 4 | **Chỉ truy cập qua tunnel** | ✅ | Gateway từ chối bind công khai khi không có tunnel đang hoạt động. Hỗ trợ Tailscale, Cloudflare, ngrok, hoặc tunnel tùy chỉnh. |
-
-> **Tự chạy nmap:** `nmap -p 1-65535 ` — ZeroClaw chỉ bind vào localhost, nên không có gì bị lộ ra ngoài trừ khi bạn cấu hình tunnel tường minh.
-
-### Allowlist channel (từ chối theo mặc định)
-
-Chính sách kiểm soát người gửi đã được thống nhất:
-
-- Allowlist rỗng = **từ chối tất cả tin nhắn đến**
-- `"*"` = **cho phép tất cả** (phải opt-in tường minh)
-- Nếu khác = allowlist khớp chính xác
-
-Mặc định an toàn, hạn chế tối đa rủi ro lộ thông tin.
-
-Tài liệu tham khảo đầy đủ về cấu hình channel: [docs/channels-reference.md](docs/channels-reference.md).
-
-Cài đặt được khuyến nghị (bảo mật + nhanh):
-
-- **Telegram:** thêm `@username` của bạn (không có `@`) và/hoặc Telegram user ID số vào allowlist.
-- **Discord:** thêm Discord user ID của bạn vào allowlist.
-- **Slack:** thêm Slack member ID của bạn (thường bắt đầu bằng `U`) vào allowlist.
-- **Mattermost:** dùng API v4 tiêu chuẩn. Allowlist dùng Mattermost user ID.
-- Chỉ dùng `"*"` cho kiểm thử mở tạm thời.
-
-Luồng phê duyệt của operator qua Telegram:
-
-1. Để `[channels_config.telegram].allowed_users = []` để từ chối theo mặc định khi khởi động.
-2. Người dùng không được phép sẽ nhận được gợi ý kèm lệnh operator có thể copy:
-   `zeroclaw channel bind-telegram `.
-3. Operator chạy lệnh đó tại máy cục bộ, sau đó người dùng thử gửi tin nhắn lại.
-
-Nếu cần phê duyệt thủ công một lần, chạy:
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw channel bind-telegram 123456789
-```
-
-Nếu bạn không chắc định danh nào cần dùng:
-
-1. Khởi động channel và gửi một tin nhắn đến bot của bạn.
-2. Đọc log cảnh báo để thấy định danh người gửi chính xác.
-3. Thêm giá trị đó vào allowlist và chạy lại channel-only setup.
-
-Nếu bạn thấy cảnh báo ủy quyền trong log (ví dụ: `ignoring message from unauthorized user`),
-chạy lại channel setup:
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw onboard --channels-only
-```
-
-### Phản hồi media Telegram
-
-Telegram định tuyến phản hồi theo **chat ID nguồn** (thay vì username),
-tránh lỗi `Bad Request: chat not found`.
-
-Với các phản hồi không phải văn bản, ZeroClaw có thể gửi file đính kèm Telegram khi assistant bao gồm các marker:
-
-- `[IMAGE:]`
-- `[DOCUMENT:]`
-- `[VIDEO:]`
-- `[AUDIO:]`
-- `[VOICE:]`
-
-Path có thể là file cục bộ (ví dụ `/tmp/screenshot.png`) hoặc URL HTTPS.
-
-### Cài đặt WhatsApp
-
-ZeroClaw hỗ trợ hai backend WhatsApp:
-
-- **Chế độ WhatsApp Web** (QR / pair code, không cần Meta Business API)
-- **Chế độ WhatsApp Business Cloud API** (luồng webhook chính thức của Meta)
-
-#### Chế độ WhatsApp Web (khuyến nghị cho dùng cá nhân/self-hosted)
-
-1. **Build với hỗ trợ WhatsApp Web:**
-   ```bash
-   cargo build --features whatsapp-web
-   ```
-
-2. **Cấu hình ZeroClaw:**
-   ```toml
-   [channels_config.whatsapp]
-   session_path = "~/.zeroclaw/state/whatsapp-web/session.db"
-   pair_phone = "15551234567"   # tùy chọn; bỏ qua để dùng luồng QR
-   pair_code = ""               # tùy chọn mã pair tùy chỉnh
-   allowed_numbers = ["+1234567890"]  # định dạng E.164, hoặc ["*"] cho tất cả
-   ```
-
-3. **Khởi động channel/daemon và liên kết thiết bị:**
-   - Chạy `zeroclaw channel start` (hoặc `zeroclaw daemon`).
-   - Làm theo hướng dẫn ghép cặp trên terminal (QR hoặc pair code).
-   - Trên WhatsApp điện thoại: **Cài đặt → Thiết bị đã liên kết**.
-
-4. **Kiểm tra:** Gửi tin nhắn từ số được phép và xác nhận agent trả lời.
-
-#### Chế độ WhatsApp Business Cloud API
-
-WhatsApp dùng Cloud API của Meta với webhook (push-based, không phải polling):
-
-1. **Tạo Meta Business App:**
-   - Truy cập [developers.facebook.com](https://developers.facebook.com)
-   - Tạo app mới → Chọn loại "Business"
-   - Thêm sản phẩm "WhatsApp"
-
-2. **Lấy thông tin xác thực:**
-   - **Access Token:** Từ WhatsApp → API Setup → Generate token (hoặc tạo System User cho token vĩnh viễn)
-   - **Phone Number ID:** Từ WhatsApp → API Setup → Phone number ID
-   - **Verify Token:** Bạn tự định nghĩa (bất kỳ chuỗi ngẫu nhiên nào) — Meta sẽ gửi lại trong quá trình xác minh webhook
-
-3. **Cấu hình ZeroClaw:**
-   ```toml
-   [channels_config.whatsapp]
-   access_token = "EAABx..."
-   phone_number_id = "123456789012345"
-   verify_token = "my-secret-verify-token"
-   allowed_numbers = ["+1234567890"]  # định dạng E.164, hoặc ["*"] cho tất cả
-   ```
-
-4. **Khởi động gateway với tunnel:**
-   ```bash
-   zeroclaw gateway --port 42617
-   ```
-   WhatsApp yêu cầu HTTPS, vì vậy hãy dùng tunnel (ngrok, Cloudflare, Tailscale Funnel).
-
-5. **Cấu hình Meta webhook:**
-   - Trong Meta Developer Console → WhatsApp → Configuration → Webhook
-   - **Callback URL:** `https://your-tunnel-url/whatsapp`
-   - **Verify Token:** Giống với `verify_token` trong config của bạn
-   - Đăng ký nhận trường `messages`
-
-6. **Kiểm tra:** Gửi tin nhắn đến số WhatsApp Business của bạn — ZeroClaw sẽ phản hồi qua LLM.
-
-## Cấu hình
-
-Config: `~/.zeroclaw/config.toml` (được tạo bởi `onboard`)
-
-Khi `zeroclaw channel start` đang chạy, các thay đổi với `default_provider`,
-`default_model`, `default_temperature`, `api_key`, `api_url`, và `reliability.*`
-sẽ được áp dụng nóng vào lần có tin nhắn channel đến tiếp theo.
-
-```toml
-api_key = "sk-..."
-default_provider = "openrouter"
-default_model = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
-default_temperature = 0.7
-
-# Endpoint tùy chỉnh tương thích OpenAI
-# default_provider = "custom:https://your-api.com"

-
-### Ollama cục bộ và endpoint từ xa
-
-ZeroClaw dùng một khóa provider (`ollama`) cho cả triển khai Ollama cục bộ và từ xa:
-
-- Ollama cục bộ: để `api_url` trống, chạy `ollama serve`, và dùng các model như `llama3.2`.
-- Endpoint Ollama từ xa (bao gồm Ollama Cloud): đặt `api_url` thành endpoint từ xa và đặt `api_key` (hoặc `OLLAMA_API_KEY`) khi cần.
-- Tùy chọn suffix `:cloud`: ID model như `qwen3:cloud` được chuẩn hóa thành `qwen3` trước khi gửi request.
-
-Ví dụ cấu hình từ xa:
-
-```toml
-default_provider = "ollama"
-default_model = "qwen3:cloud"
-api_url = "https://ollama.com"
-api_key = "ollama_api_key_here"
-```
-
-### Endpoint provider tùy chỉnh
-
-Cấu hình chi tiết cho endpoint tùy chỉnh tương thích OpenAI và Anthropic, xem [docs/custom-providers.md](docs/custom-providers.md).
-
-## Gói Python đi kèm (`zeroclaw-tools`)
-
-Với các LLM provider có tool calling native không ổn định (ví dụ: GLM-5/Zhipu), ZeroClaw đi kèm gói Python dùng **LangGraph để gọi tool** nhằm đảm bảo tính nhất quán:
-
-```bash
-pip install zeroclaw-tools
-```
-
-```python
-from zeroclaw_tools import create_agent, shell, file_read
-from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
-
-# Hoạt động với mọi provider tương thích OpenAI
-agent = create_agent(
-    tools=[shell, file_read],
-    model="glm-5",
-    api_key="your-key",
-    base_url="https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4"
-)
-
-result = await agent.ainvoke({
-    "messages": [HumanMessage(content="List files in /tmp")]
-})
-print(result["messages"][-1].content)
-```
-
-**Lý do nên dùng:**
-- **Tool calling nhất quán** trên mọi provider (kể cả những provider hỗ trợ native kém)
-- **Vòng lặp tool tự động** — tiếp tục gọi tool cho đến khi hoàn thành tác vụ
-- **Dễ mở rộng** — thêm tool tùy chỉnh với decorator `@tool`
-- **Tích hợp Discord bot** đi kèm (Telegram đang lên kế hoạch)
-
-Xem [`python/README.md`](python/README.md) để có tài liệu đầy đủ.
-
-## Hệ thống định danh (Hỗ trợ AIEOS)
-
-ZeroClaw hỗ trợ persona AI **không phụ thuộc nền tảng** qua hai định dạng:
-
-### OpenClaw (Mặc định)
-
-Các file markdown truyền thống trong workspace của bạn:
-- `IDENTITY.md` — Agent là ai
-- `SOUL.md` — Tính cách và giá trị cốt lõi
-- `USER.md` — Agent đang hỗ trợ ai
-- `AGENTS.md` — Hướng dẫn hành vi
-
-### AIEOS (AI Entity Object Specification)
-
-[AIEOS](https://aieos.org) là framework chuẩn hóa cho định danh AI di động. ZeroClaw hỗ trợ payload AIEOS v1.1 JSON, cho phép bạn:
-
-- **Import định danh** từ hệ sinh thái AIEOS
-- **Export định danh** sang các hệ thống tương thích AIEOS khác
-- **Duy trì tính toàn vẹn hành vi** trên các mô hình AI khác nhau
-
-#### Bật AIEOS
-
-```toml
-[identity]
-format = "aieos"
-aieos_path = "identity.json"  # tương đối với workspace hoặc đường dẫn tuyệt đối
-```
-
-Hoặc JSON inline:
-
-```toml
-[identity]
-format = "aieos"
-aieos_inline = '''
-{
-  "identity": {
-    "names": { "first": "Nova", "nickname": "N" },
-    "bio": { "gender": "Non-binary", "age_biological": 3 },
-    "origin": { "nationality": "Digital", "birthplace": { "city": "Cloud" } }
-  },
-  "psychology": {
-    "neural_matrix": { "creativity": 0.9, "logic": 0.8 },
-    "traits": {
-      "mbti": "ENTP",
-      "ocean": { "openness": 0.8, "conscientiousness": 0.6 }
-    },
-    "moral_compass": {
-      "alignment": "Chaotic Good",
-      "core_values": ["Curiosity", "Autonomy"]
-    }

-  "linguistics": {
-    "text_style": {
-      "formality_level": 0.2,
-      "style_descriptors": ["curious", "energetic"]
-    },

-    "goals": {
-      "short_term": ["Prototype quickly"],
-      "long_term": ["Build reliable systems"]
-    }
-  },
-  "capabilities": {
-    "skills": [{ "name": "Rust engineering" }, { "name": "Prompt design" }],
-    "tools": ["shell", "file_read"]
-  }
-}
-'''
-```
-
-ZeroClaw chấp nhận cả payload AIEOS đầy đủ lẫn dạng rút gọn, rồi chuẩn hóa về một định dạng system prompt thống nhất.
-

-
-### Opt-In Open-Skills
-
-Đồng bộ `open-skills` của cộng đồng bị tắt theo mặc định. Bật tường minh trong `config.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[skills]
-open_skills_enabled = true
-# open_skills_dir = "/path/to/open-skills"  # tùy chọn
-```
-
-Bạn cũng có thể ghi đè lúc runtime với `ZEROCLAW_OPEN_SKILLS_ENABLED` và `ZEROCLAW_OPEN_SKILLS_DIR`.
-
-## Phát triển
-
-```bash
-cargo build              # Build phát triển
-cargo build --release    # Build release (codegen-units=1, hoạt động trên mọi thiết bị kể cả Raspberry Pi)
-cargo build --profile release-fast    # Build nhanh hơn (codegen-units=8, yêu cầu RAM 16GB+)
-cargo test               # Chạy toàn bộ test suite
-cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D clippy::correctness
-cargo fmt                # Định dạng code
-
-# Chạy benchmark SQLite vs Markdown
-cargo test --test memory_comparison -- --nocapture
-```
-
-### Hook pre-push
-
-Một git hook chạy `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy -- -D warnings`, và `cargo test` trước mỗi lần push. Bật một lần:
-
-```bash
-git config core.hooksPath .githooks
-```
-
-### Khắc phục sự cố build (lỗi OpenSSL trên Linux)
-
-Nếu bạn gặp lỗi build `openssl-sys`, đồng bộ dependencies và rebuild với lockfile của repository:
-
-```bash
-git pull
-cargo build --release --locked
-cargo install --path . --force --locked
-```
-
-ZeroClaw được cấu hình để dùng `rustls` cho các dependencies HTTP/TLS; `--locked` giữ cho dependency graph nhất quán trên các môi trường mới.
-
-Để bỏ qua hook khi cần push nhanh trong quá trình phát triển:
-
-```bash
-git push --no-verify
-```

-## 项目简介
-
-ZeroClaw 是一个高性能、低资源占用、可组合的自主智能体运行时。ZeroClaw 是面向智能代理工作流的**运行时操作系统** — 它抽象了模型、工具、记忆和执行层，使代理可以一次构建、随处运行。
-
-- Rust 原生实现，单二进制部署，跨 ARM / x86 / RISC-V。
-- Trait 驱动架构，`Provider` / `Channel` / `Tool` / `Memory` 可替换。
-- 安全默认值优先：配对鉴权、显式 allowlist、沙箱与作用域约束。
-
-## 为什么选择 ZeroClaw
-
-- **默认轻量运行时**：常见 CLI 与 `status` 工作流通常保持在几 MB 级内存范围。
-- **低成本部署友好**：面向低价板卡与小规格云主机设计，不依赖厚重运行时。
-- **冷启动速度快**：Rust 单二进制让常用命令与守护进程启动更接近“秒开”。
-- **跨架构可移植**：同一套二进制优先流程覆盖 ARM / x86 / RISC-V，并保持 provider/channel/tool 可替换。

-## 基准快照（ZeroClaw vs OpenClaw，可复现）
-
-以下是本地快速基准对比（macOS arm64，2026 年 2 月），按 0.8GHz 边缘 CPU 进行归一化展示：
-
-| | OpenClaw | NanoBot | PicoClaw | ZeroClaw 🦀 |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **语言** | TypeScript | Python | Go | **Rust** |
-| **RAM** | > 1GB | > 100MB | < 10MB | **< 5MB** |
-| **启动时间（0.8GHz 核）** | > 500s | > 30s | < 1s | **< 10ms** |
-| **二进制体积** | ~28MB（dist） | N/A（脚本） | ~8MB | **~8.8 MB** |
-| **成本** | Mac Mini $599 | Linux SBC ~$50 | Linux 板卡 $10 | **任意 $10 硬件** |
-
-> 说明：ZeroClaw 的数据来自 release 构建，并通过 `/usr/bin/time -l` 测得。OpenClaw 需要 Node.js 运行时环境，仅该运行时通常就会带来约 390MB 的额外内存占用；NanoBot 需要 Python 运行时环境。PicoClaw 与 ZeroClaw 为静态二进制。

-
-### 本地可复现测量
-
-基准数据会随代码与工具链变化，建议始终在你的目标环境自行复测：
-
-```bash
-cargo build --release
-ls -lh target/release/zeroclaw
-
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw --help
-/usr/bin/time -l target/release/zeroclaw status
-```
-
-当前 README 的样例数据（macOS arm64，2026-02-18）：
-
-- Release 二进制：`8.8M`
-- `zeroclaw --help`：约 `0.02s`，峰值内存约 `3.9MB`
-- `zeroclaw status`：约 `0.01s`，峰值内存约 `4.1MB`
-
-## 一键部署
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
-cd zeroclaw
-./bootstrap.sh
-```
-
-可选环境初始化：`./bootstrap.sh --install-system-deps --install-rust`（可能需要 `sudo`）。
-
-详细说明见：[`docs/one-click-bootstrap.md`](docs/one-click-bootstrap.md)。
-
-## 快速开始
-
-### Homebrew（macOS/Linuxbrew）
-
-```bash
-brew install zeroclaw
-```
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
-cd zeroclaw
-cargo build --release --locked
-cargo install --path . --force --locked
-
-# 快速初始化（无交互）
-zeroclaw onboard --api-key sk-... --provider openrouter
-
-# 或使用交互式向导
-zeroclaw onboard --interactive
-
-# 单次对话
-zeroclaw agent -m "Hello, ZeroClaw!"
-
-# 启动网关（默认: 127.0.0.1:42617）
-zeroclaw gateway
-
-# 启动长期运行模式
-zeroclaw daemon
-```
-
-## Subscription Auth（OpenAI Codex / Claude Code）
-
-ZeroClaw 现已支持基于订阅的原生鉴权配置（多账号、静态加密存储）。
-
-- 配置文件：`~/.zeroclaw/auth-profiles.json`
-- 加密密钥：`~/.zeroclaw/.secret_key`
-- Profile ID 格式：`:`（例：`openai-codex:work`）
-
-OpenAI Codex OAuth（ChatGPT 订阅）：
-
-```bash
-# 推荐用于服务器/无显示器环境
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --device-code
-
-# 浏览器/回调流程，支持粘贴回退
-zeroclaw auth login --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth paste-redirect --provider openai-codex --profile default
-
-# 检查 / 刷新 / 切换 profile
-zeroclaw auth status
-zeroclaw auth refresh --provider openai-codex --profile default
-zeroclaw auth use --provider openai-codex --profile work
-```
-
-Claude Code / Anthropic setup-token：
-
-```bash
-# 粘贴订阅/setup token（Authorization header 模式）
-zeroclaw auth paste-token --provider anthropic --profile default --auth-kind authorization
-
-# 别名命令
-zeroclaw auth setup-token --provider anthropic --profile default
-```
-
-使用 subscription auth 运行 agent：
-
-```bash
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex -m "hello"
-zeroclaw agent --provider openai-codex --auth-profile openai-codex:work -m "hello"
-
-# Anthropic 同时支持 API key 和 auth token 环境变量：
-# ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
-zeroclaw agent --provider anthropic -m "hello"
-```
-
-## 架构
-
-每个子系统都是一个 **Trait** — 通过配置切换即可更换实现，无需修改代码。
-
-

-  ZeroClaw 架构图
-

-
-| 子系统 | Trait | 内置实现 | 扩展方式 |
-|--------|-------|----------|----------|
-| **AI 模型** | `Provider` | 通过 `zeroclaw providers` 查看（当前 28 个内置 + 别名，以及自定义端点） | `custom:https://your-api.com`（OpenAI 兼容）或 `anthropic-custom:https://your-api.com` |
-| **通道** | `Channel` | CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, iMessage, Matrix, Signal, WhatsApp, Linq, Email, IRC, Lark, DingTalk, QQ, Webhook | 任意消息 API |
-| **记忆** | `Memory` | SQLite 混合搜索, PostgreSQL 后端, Lucid 桥接, Markdown 文件, 显式 `none` 后端, 快照/恢复, 可选响应缓存 | 任意持久化后端 |
-| **工具** | `Tool` | shell/file/memory, cron/schedule, git, pushover, browser, http_request, screenshot/image_info, composio (opt-in), delegate, 硬件工具 | 任意能力 |
-| **可观测性** | `Observer` | Noop, Log, Multi | Prometheus, OTel |
-| **运行时** | `RuntimeAdapter` | Native, Docker（沙箱） | 通过 adapter 添加；不支持的类型会快速失败 |
-| **安全** | `SecurityPolicy` | Gateway 配对, 沙箱, allowlist, 速率限制, 文件系统作用域, 加密密钥 | — |
-| **身份** | `IdentityConfig` | OpenClaw (markdown), AIEOS v1.1 (JSON) | 任意身份格式 |
-| **隧道** | `Tunnel` | None, Cloudflare, Tailscale, ngrok, Custom | 任意隧道工具 |
-| **心跳** | Engine | HEARTBEAT.md 定期任务 | — |
-| **技能** | Loader | TOML 清单 + SKILL.md 指令 | 社区技能包 |
-| **集成** | Registry | 9 个分类下 70+ 集成 | 插件系统 |
-
-### 运行时支持（当前）
-
-- ✅ 当前支持：`runtime.kind = "native"` 或 `runtime.kind = "docker"`
-- 🚧 计划中，尚未实现：WASM / 边缘运行时
-
-配置了不支持的 `runtime.kind` 时，ZeroClaw 会以明确的错误退出，而非静默回退到 native。
-
-### 记忆系统（全栈搜索引擎）
-
-全部自研，零外部依赖 — 无需 Pinecone、Elasticsearch、LangChain：
-
-| 层级 | 实现 |
-|------|------|
-| **向量数据库** | Embeddings 以 BLOB 存储于 SQLite，余弦相似度搜索 |
-| **关键词搜索** | FTS5 虚拟表，BM25 评分 |
-| **混合合并** | 自定义加权合并函数（`vector.rs`） |
-| **Embeddings** | `EmbeddingProvider` trait — OpenAI、自定义 URL 或 noop |
-| **分块** | 基于行的 Markdown 分块器，保留标题结构 |
-| **缓存** | SQLite `embedding_cache` 表，LRU 淘汰策略 |
-| **安全重索引** | 原子化重建 FTS5 + 重新嵌入缺失向量 |
-
-Agent 通过工具自动进行记忆的回忆、保存和管理。
-
-```toml
-[memory]
-backend = "sqlite"             # "sqlite", "lucid", "postgres", "markdown", "none"
-auto_save = true
-embedding_provider = "none"    # "none", "openai", "custom:https://..."
-vector_weight = 0.7
-keyword_weight = 0.3
-```
-
-## 安全默认行为（关键）
-
-- Gateway 默认绑定：`127.0.0.1:42617`
-- Gateway 默认要求配对：`require_pairing = true`
-- 默认拒绝公网绑定：`allow_public_bind = false`
-- Channel allowlist 语义：
-  - 空列表 `[]` => deny-by-default
-  - `"*"` => allow all（仅在明确知道风险时使用）
-
-## 常用配置片段
-
-```toml
-api_key = "sk-..."
-default_provider = "openrouter"
-default_model = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
-default_temperature = 0.7
-
-[memory]
-backend = "sqlite"             # sqlite | lucid | markdown | none
-auto_save = true
-embedding_provider = "none"    # none | openai | custom:https://...
-
-[gateway]
-host = "127.0.0.1"
-port = 42617
-require_pairing = true
-allow_public_bind = false
-```

 Each channel is enabled by creating its sub-table (for example, `[channels_config.telegram]`).
 
-## In-Chat Runtime Model Switching (Telegram / Discord)
+One ZeroClaw runtime can serve multiple channels at once: if you configure several
+channel sub-tables, `zeroclaw channel start` launches all of them in the same process.
+Channel startup is best-effort: a single channel init failure is reported and skipped,
+while remaining channels continue running.
 
-When running `zeroclaw channel start` (or daemon mode), Telegram and Discord now support sender-scoped runtime switching:
+## In-Chat Runtime Commands
 
+When running `zeroclaw channel start` (or daemon mode), runtime commands include:
+
+Telegram/Discord sender-scoped model routing:
 - `/models` — show available providers and current selection
 - `/models ` — switch provider for the current sender session
 - `/model` — show current model and cached model IDs (if available)
 - `/model ` — switch model for the current sender session
 - `/new` — clear conversation history and start a fresh session
 
+Supervised tool approvals (all non-CLI channels):
+- `/approve-request ` — create a pending approval request
+- `/approve-confirm ` — confirm pending request (same sender + same chat/channel only)
+- `/approve-pending` — list pending requests for your current sender+chat/channel scope
+- `/approve ` — direct one-step approve + persist (`autonomy.auto_approve`, compatibility path)
+- `/unapprove ` — revoke and remove persisted approval
+- `/approvals` — inspect runtime grants, persisted approval lists, and excluded tools
+
 Notes:
 
 - Switching provider or model clears only that sender's in-memory conversation history to avoid cross-model context contamination.
 - `/new` clears the sender's conversation history without changing provider or model selection.
 - Model cache previews come from `zeroclaw models refresh --provider `.
 - These are runtime chat commands, not CLI subcommands.
+- Natural-language approval intents are supported with strict parsing and policy control:
+  - `direct` mode (default): `授权工具 shell` grants immediately.
+  - `request_confirm` mode: `授权工具 shell` creates pending request, then confirm with request ID.
+  - `disabled` mode: approval-management must use slash commands.
+- You can override natural-language approval mode per channel via `[autonomy].non_cli_natural_language_approval_mode_by_channel`.
+- Approval commands are intercepted before LLM execution, so the model cannot self-escalate permissions through tool calls.
+- You can restrict who can use approval-management commands via `[autonomy].non_cli_approval_approvers`.
+- Configure natural-language approval mode via `[autonomy].non_cli_natural_language_approval_mode`.
+- `autonomy.non_cli_excluded_tools` is reloaded from `config.toml` at runtime; `/approvals` shows the currently effective list.
+- Each incoming message injects a runtime tool-availability snapshot into the system prompt, derived from the same exclusion policy used by execution.

 ## Maintenance Rules
 
 - Keep merge-blocking checks deterministic and reproducible (`--locked` where applicable).
+- Keep merge-queue compatibility explicit by supporting `merge_group` on required workflows (`ci-run`, `sec-audit`, and `sec-codeql`).
+- Keep PRs mapped to Linear issue keys (`RMN-*`/`CDV-*`/`COM-*`) via PR intake checks.
+- Keep `deny.toml` advisory ignore entries in object form with explicit reasons (enforced by `deny_policy_guard.py`).
+- Keep deny ignore governance metadata current in `.github/security/deny-ignore-governance.json` (owner/reason/expiry/ticket enforced by `deny_policy_guard.py`).
+- Keep gitleaks allowlist governance metadata current in `.github/security/gitleaks-allowlist-governance.json` (owner/reason/expiry/ticket enforced by `secrets_governance_guard.py`).
+- Keep audit event schema + retention metadata aligned with `docs/audit-event-schema.md` (`emit_audit_event.py` envelope + workflow artifact policy).
+- Keep rollback operations guarded and reversible (`ci-rollback.yml` defaults to `dry-run`; `execute` is manual and policy-gated).
+- Keep canary policy thresholds and sample-size rules current in `.github/release/canary-policy.json`.
+- Keep GHCR tag taxonomy and immutability policy current in `.github/release/ghcr-tag-policy.json` and `docs/operations/ghcr-tag-policy.md`.
+- Keep GHCR vulnerability gate policy current in `.github/release/ghcr-vulnerability-policy.json` and `docs/operations/ghcr-vulnerability-policy.md`.
+- Keep pre-release stage transition policy + matrix coverage + transition audit semantics current in `.github/release/prerelease-stage-gates.json`.
+- Keep required check naming stable and documented in `docs/operations/required-check-mapping.md` before changing branch protection settings.
 - Follow `docs/release-process.md` for verify-before-publish release cadence and tag discipline.
 - Keep merge-blocking rust quality policy aligned across `.github/workflows/ci-run.yml`, `dev/ci.sh`, and `.githooks/pre-push` (`./scripts/ci/rust_quality_gate.sh` + `./scripts/ci/rust_strict_delta_gate.sh`).
 - Use `./scripts/ci/rust_strict_delta_gate.sh` (or `./dev/ci.sh lint-delta`) as the incremental strict merge gate for changed Rust lines.
 - Run full strict lint audits regularly via `./scripts/ci/rust_quality_gate.sh --strict` (for example through `./dev/ci.sh lint-strict`) and track cleanup in focused PRs.
 - Keep docs markdown gating incremental via `./scripts/ci/docs_quality_gate.sh` (block changed-line issues, report baseline issues separately).
 - Keep docs link gating incremental via `./scripts/ci/collect_changed_links.py` + lychee (check only links added on changed lines).
+- Keep docs deploy policy current in `.github/release/docs-deploy-policy.json`, `docs/operations/docs-deploy-policy.md`, and `docs/operations/docs-deploy-runbook.md`.
 - Prefer explicit workflow permissions (least privilege).
 - Keep Actions source policy restricted to approved allowlist patterns (see `docs/actions-source-policy.md`).
 - Use path filters for expensive workflows when practical.
 - Keep docs quality checks low-noise (incremental markdown + incremental added-link checks).
 - Keep dependency update volume controlled (grouping + PR limits).
+- Install third-party CI tooling through repository-managed pinned installers with checksum verification (for example `scripts/ci/install_gitleaks.sh`, `scripts/ci/install_syft.sh`); avoid remote `curl | sh` patterns.
 - Avoid mixing onboarding/community automation with merge-gating logic.

+Research phase allows the agent to gather information through tools before generating the main response.
+
+| Key | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `enabled` | `false` | Enable research phase |
+| `trigger` | `never` | Research trigger strategy: `never`, `always`, `keywords`, `length`, `question` |
+| `keywords` | `["find", "search", "check", "investigate"]` | Keywords that trigger research (when trigger = `keywords`) |
+| `min_message_length` | `50` | Minimum message length to trigger research (when trigger = `length`) |
+| `max_iterations` | `5` | Maximum tool calls during research phase |
+| `show_progress` | `true` | Show research progress to user |
+
+Notes:
+
+- Research phase is **disabled by default** (`trigger = never`).
+- When enabled, the agent first gathers facts through tools (grep, file_read, shell, memory search), then responds using the collected context.
+- Research runs before the main agent turn and does not count toward `agent.max_tool_iterations`.
+- Trigger strategies:
+  - `never` — research disabled (default)
+  - `always` — research on every user message
+  - `keywords` — research when message contains any keyword from the list
+  - `length` — research when message length exceeds `min_message_length`
+  - `question` — research when message contains '?'
+
+Example:
+
+```toml
+[research]
+enabled = true
+trigger = "keywords"
+keywords = ["find", "show", "check", "how many"]
+max_iterations = 3
+show_progress = true

+- "Show contents of main.rs"
+- "How many files in the project?"

-3. Update `channels-reference` when channel support or allowlist semantics change.
-4. Keep snapshots date-stamped and immutable.
-5. Mark proposal docs clearly to avoid being mistaken for runtime contracts.
-6. Keep localized README/docs-hub links aligned when adding new core docs.
-7. Update `docs/SUMMARY.md` and collection indexes whenever new major docs are added.
+1. Update `docs/SUMMARY.md` and nearest category index when adding a major doc.
+2. Keep locale navigation parity across all supported locales (`en`, `zh-CN`, `ja`, `ru`, `fr`, `vi`, `el`).
+3. Use `docs/i18n-guide.md` whenever docs IA/shared wording changes.
+4. Keep canonical localized hubs under `docs/i18n//`; treat shim paths as compatibility only.
+5. Keep snapshots date-stamped and immutable; add newer snapshots instead of rewriting historical ones.

+# ROS2 Integration Guidance
+
+This note captures the recommended integration shape for ROS2/ROS1 environments.
+It is intentionally architecture-focused and keeps ZeroClaw core boundaries stable.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Use the plugin/adapter route first.
+
+- Keep robotics transport in an integration crate or module that bridges ROS topics/services/actions to ZeroClaw tools/channels/runtime adapters.
+- Keep high-frequency control loops in ROS-native execution contexts.
+- Use ZeroClaw for planning, orchestration, policy, and guarded action dispatch.
+
+Deep core coupling should be a last resort and only justified by measured latency limits that cannot be met with a bridge.
+
+## Why This Is The Default
+
+- Upgrade safety: trait-based adapters survive upstream changes better than core patches.
+- Blast-radius control: transport details stay outside security/runtime core modules.
+- Reproducibility: integration behavior is easier to test and rollback when isolated.
+- Security posture: approval, policy, and gating remain centralized in existing ZeroClaw paths.
+
+## Real-Time Boundary Rule
+
+Do not route hard real-time motor/safety loops through LLM turn latency.
+
+- ROS node graph handles tight-loop control and watchdogs.
+- ZeroClaw emits intent-level commands and receives summarized state.
+- Safety-critical stop paths stay local to robot runtime regardless of agent health.
+
+## Suggested Baseline Architecture
+
+1. ROS2 bridge node subscribes to high-rate sensor topics.
+2. Bridge performs local reduction/windowing and forwards compact summaries to ZeroClaw.
+3. ZeroClaw decides intent/tool calls under existing policy and approval constraints.
+4. Bridge translates approved intents into ROS commands with bounded command-rate limits.
+5. Telemetry and fault states flow back into ZeroClaw for reasoning and auditability.
+
+## Escalation Criteria For Core Integration
+
+Consider deeper ZeroClaw runtime integration only when all are true:
+
+- Measured bridge overhead is a validated bottleneck under production-like load.
+- Required latency/jitter budgets are written and reproducible.
+- The proposed core change has clear rollback and subsystem ownership.
+- Security and policy guarantees remain equivalent or stronger.
+
+If those conditions are not met, stay with adapter/plugin integration.

-# Tham khảo cấu hình ZeroClaw
-
-Các mục cấu hình thường dùng và giá trị mặc định.
-
-Xác minh lần cuối: **2026-02-19**.
-
-Thứ tự tìm config khi khởi động:
-
-1. Biến `ZEROCLAW_WORKSPACE` (nếu được đặt)
-2. Marker `~/.zeroclaw/active_workspace.toml` (nếu có)
-3. Mặc định `~/.zeroclaw/config.toml`
-
-ZeroClaw ghi log đường dẫn config đã giải quyết khi khởi động ở mức `INFO`:
-
-- `Config loaded` với các trường: `path`, `workspace`, `source`, `initialized`
-
-Lệnh xuất schema:
-
-- `zeroclaw config schema` (xuất JSON Schema draft 2020-12 ra stdout)
-
-## Khóa chính
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Ghi chú |
-|---|---|---|
-| `default_provider` | `openrouter` | ID hoặc bí danh provider |
-| `default_model` | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` | Model định tuyến qua provider đã chọn |
-| `default_temperature` | `0.7` | Nhiệt độ model |
-
-## `[observability]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `backend` | `none` | Backend quan sát: `none`, `noop`, `log`, `prometheus`, `otel`, `opentelemetry` hoặc `otlp` |
-| `otel_endpoint` | `http://localhost:4318` | Endpoint OTLP HTTP khi backend là `otel` |
-| `otel_service_name` | `zeroclaw` | Tên dịch vụ gửi đến OTLP collector |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- `backend = "otel"` dùng OTLP HTTP export với blocking exporter client để span và metric có thể được gửi an toàn từ context ngoài Tokio.
-- Bí danh `opentelemetry` và `otlp` trỏ đến cùng backend OTel.
-
-Ví dụ:
-
-```toml
-[observability]
-backend = "otel"
-otel_endpoint = "http://localhost:4318"
-otel_service_name = "zeroclaw"
-```
-
-## Ghi đè provider qua biến môi trường
-
-Provider cũng có thể chọn qua biến môi trường. Thứ tự ưu tiên:
-
-1. `ZEROCLAW_PROVIDER` (ghi đè tường minh, luôn thắng khi có giá trị)
-2. `PROVIDER` (dự phòng kiểu cũ, chỉ áp dụng khi provider trong config chưa đặt hoặc vẫn là `openrouter`)
-3. `default_provider` trong `config.toml`
-
-Lưu ý cho người dùng container:
-
-- Nếu `config.toml` đặt provider tùy chỉnh như `custom:https://.../v1`, biến `PROVIDER=openrouter` mặc định từ Docker/container sẽ không thay thế nó.
-- Dùng `ZEROCLAW_PROVIDER` khi cố ý muốn biến môi trường ghi đè provider đã cấu hình.
-
-## `[agent]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `compact_context` | `true` | Khi bật: bootstrap_max_chars=6000, rag_chunk_limit=2. Dùng cho model 13B trở xuống |
-| `max_tool_iterations` | `10` | Số vòng lặp tool-call tối đa mỗi tin nhắn trên CLI, gateway và channels |
-| `max_history_messages` | `50` | Số tin nhắn lịch sử tối đa giữ lại mỗi phiên |
-| `parallel_tools` | `false` | Bật thực thi tool song song trong một lượt |
-| `tool_dispatcher` | `auto` | Chiến lược dispatch tool |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Đặt `max_tool_iterations = 0` sẽ dùng giá trị mặc định an toàn `10`.
-- Nếu tin nhắn kênh vượt giá trị này, runtime trả về: `Agent exceeded maximum tool iterations ()`.
-- Trong vòng lặp tool của CLI, gateway và channel, các lời gọi tool độc lập được thực thi đồng thời mặc định khi không cần phê duyệt; thứ tự kết quả giữ ổn định.
-- `parallel_tools` áp dụng cho API `Agent::turn()`. Không ảnh hưởng đến vòng lặp runtime của CLI, gateway hay channel.
-
-## `[agents.]`
-
-Cấu hình agent phụ (sub-agent). Mỗi khóa dưới `[agents]` định nghĩa một agent phụ có tên mà agent chính có thể ủy quyền.
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `provider` | _bắt buộc_ | Tên provider (ví dụ `"ollama"`, `"openrouter"`, `"anthropic"`) |
-| `model` | _bắt buộc_ | Tên model cho agent phụ |
-| `system_prompt` | chưa đặt | System prompt tùy chỉnh cho agent phụ (tùy chọn) |
-| `api_key` | chưa đặt | API key tùy chỉnh (mã hóa khi `secrets.encrypt = true`) |
-| `temperature` | chưa đặt | Temperature tùy chỉnh cho agent phụ |
-| `max_depth` | `3` | Độ sâu đệ quy tối đa cho ủy quyền lồng nhau |
-| `agentic` | `false` | Bật chế độ vòng lặp tool-call nhiều lượt cho agent phụ |
-| `allowed_tools` | `[]` | Danh sách tool được phép ở chế độ agentic |
-| `max_iterations` | `10` | Số vòng tool-call tối đa cho chế độ agentic |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- `agentic = false` giữ nguyên hành vi ủy quyền prompt→response đơn lượt.
-- `agentic = true` yêu cầu ít nhất một mục khớp trong `allowed_tools`.
-- Tool `delegate` bị loại khỏi allowlist của agent phụ để tránh vòng lặp ủy quyền.
-
-```toml
-[agents.researcher]
-provider = "openrouter"
-model = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
-system_prompt = "You are a research assistant."
-max_depth = 2
-agentic = true
-allowed_tools = ["web_search", "http_request", "file_read"]
-max_iterations = 8
-
-[agents.coder]
-provider = "ollama"
-model = "qwen2.5-coder:32b"
-temperature = 0.2
-```
-
-## `[runtime]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `reasoning_enabled` | chưa đặt (`None`) | Ghi đè toàn cục cho reasoning/thinking trên provider hỗ trợ |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- `reasoning_enabled = false` tắt tường minh reasoning phía provider cho provider hỗ trợ (hiện tại `ollama`, qua trường `think: false`).
-- `reasoning_enabled = true` yêu cầu reasoning tường minh (`think: true` trên `ollama`).
-- Để trống giữ mặc định của provider.
-
-## `[skills]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `open_skills_enabled` | `false` | Cho phép tải/đồng bộ kho `open-skills` cộng đồng |
-| `open_skills_dir` | chưa đặt | Đường dẫn cục bộ cho `open-skills` (mặc định `$HOME/open-skills` khi bật) |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Mặc định an toàn: ZeroClaw **không** clone hay đồng bộ `open-skills` trừ khi `open_skills_enabled = true`.
-- Ghi đè qua biến môi trường:
-  - `ZEROCLAW_OPEN_SKILLS_ENABLED` chấp nhận `1/0`, `true/false`, `yes/no`, `on/off`.
-  - `ZEROCLAW_OPEN_SKILLS_DIR` ghi đè đường dẫn kho khi có giá trị.
-- Thứ tự ưu tiên: `ZEROCLAW_OPEN_SKILLS_ENABLED` → `skills.open_skills_enabled` trong `config.toml` → mặc định `false`.
-
-## `[composio]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `enabled` | `false` | Bật công cụ OAuth do Composio quản lý |
-| `api_key` | chưa đặt | API key Composio cho tool `composio` |
-| `entity_id` | `default` | `user_id` mặc định gửi khi gọi connect/execute |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Tương thích ngược: `enable = true` kiểu cũ được chấp nhận như bí danh cho `enabled = true`.
-- Nếu `enabled = false` hoặc thiếu `api_key`, tool `composio` không được đăng ký.
-- ZeroClaw yêu cầu Composio v3 tools với `toolkit_versions=latest` và thực thi với `version="latest"` để tránh bản tool mặc định cũ.
-- Luồng thông thường: gọi `connect`, hoàn tất OAuth trên trình duyệt, rồi chạy `execute` cho hành động mong muốn.
-- Nếu Composio trả lỗi thiếu connected-account, gọi `list_accounts` (tùy chọn với `app`) và truyền `connected_account_id` trả về cho `execute`.
-
-## `[cost]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `enabled` | `false` | Bật theo dõi chi phí |
-| `daily_limit_usd` | `10.00` | Giới hạn chi tiêu hàng ngày (USD) |
-| `monthly_limit_usd` | `100.00` | Giới hạn chi tiêu hàng tháng (USD) |
-| `warn_at_percent` | `80` | Cảnh báo khi chi tiêu đạt tỷ lệ phần trăm này |
-| `allow_override` | `false` | Cho phép vượt ngân sách khi dùng cờ `--override` |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Khi `enabled = true`, runtime theo dõi ước tính chi phí mỗi yêu cầu và áp dụng giới hạn ngày/tháng.
-- Tại ngưỡng `warn_at_percent`, cảnh báo được gửi nhưng yêu cầu vẫn tiếp tục.
-- Khi đạt giới hạn, yêu cầu bị từ chối trừ khi `allow_override = true` và cờ `--override` được truyền.
-
-## `[identity]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `format` | `openclaw` | Định dạng danh tính: `"openclaw"` (mặc định) hoặc `"aieos"` |
-| `aieos_path` | chưa đặt | Đường dẫn file AIEOS JSON (tương đối với workspace) |
-| `aieos_inline` | chưa đặt | AIEOS JSON nội tuyến (thay thế cho đường dẫn file) |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Dùng `format = "aieos"` với `aieos_path` hoặc `aieos_inline` để tải tài liệu danh tính AIEOS / OpenClaw.
-- Chỉ nên đặt một trong hai `aieos_path` hoặc `aieos_inline`; `aieos_path` được ưu tiên.
-
-## `[multimodal]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `max_images` | `4` | Số marker ảnh tối đa mỗi yêu cầu |
-| `max_image_size_mb` | `5` | Giới hạn kích thước ảnh trước khi mã hóa base64 |
-| `allow_remote_fetch` | `false` | Cho phép tải ảnh từ URL `http(s)` trong marker |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Runtime chấp nhận marker ảnh trong tin nhắn với cú pháp: ``[IMAGE:]``.
-- Nguồn hỗ trợ:
-  - Đường dẫn file cục bộ (ví dụ ``[IMAGE:/tmp/screenshot.png]``)
-- Data URI (ví dụ ``[IMAGE:data:image/png;base64,...]``)
-- URL từ xa chỉ khi `allow_remote_fetch = true`
-- Kiểu MIME cho phép: `image/png`, `image/jpeg`, `image/webp`, `image/gif`, `image/bmp`.
-- Khi provider đang dùng không hỗ trợ vision, yêu cầu thất bại với lỗi capability có cấu trúc (`capability=vision`) thay vì bỏ qua ảnh.
-
-## `[browser]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `enabled` | `false` | Bật tool `browser_open` (mở URL trong trình duyệt mặc định hệ thống, không thu thập dữ liệu) |
-| `allowed_domains` | `[]` | Tên miền cho phép cho `browser_open` (khớp chính xác hoặc subdomain) |
-| `session_name` | chưa đặt | Tên phiên trình duyệt (cho tự động hóa agent-browser) |
-| `backend` | `agent_browser` | Backend tự động hóa: `"agent_browser"`, `"rust_native"`, `"computer_use"` hoặc `"auto"` |
-| `native_headless` | `true` | Chế độ headless cho backend rust-native |
-| `native_webdriver_url` | `http://127.0.0.1:9515` | URL endpoint WebDriver cho backend rust-native |
-| `native_chrome_path` | chưa đặt | Đường dẫn Chrome/Chromium tùy chọn cho backend rust-native |
-
-### `[browser.computer_use]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `endpoint` | `http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1/actions` | Endpoint sidecar cho hành động computer-use (chuột/bàn phím/screenshot cấp OS) |
-| `api_key` | chưa đặt | Bearer token tùy chọn cho sidecar computer-use (mã hóa khi lưu) |
-| `timeout_ms` | `15000` | Thời gian chờ mỗi hành động (mili giây) |
-| `allow_remote_endpoint` | `false` | Cho phép endpoint từ xa/công khai cho sidecar |
-| `window_allowlist` | `[]` | Danh sách cho phép tiêu đề cửa sổ/tiến trình gửi đến sidecar |
-| `max_coordinate_x` | chưa đặt | Giới hạn trục X cho hành động dựa trên tọa độ (tùy chọn) |
-| `max_coordinate_y` | chưa đặt | Giới hạn trục Y cho hành động dựa trên tọa độ (tùy chọn) |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Khi `backend = "computer_use"`, agent ủy quyền hành động trình duyệt cho sidecar tại `computer_use.endpoint`.
-- `allow_remote_endpoint = false` (mặc định) từ chối mọi endpoint không phải loopback để tránh lộ ra ngoài.
-- Dùng `window_allowlist` để giới hạn cửa sổ OS mà sidecar có thể tương tác.
-
-## `[http_request]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `enabled` | `false` | Bật tool `http_request` cho tương tác API |
-| `allowed_domains` | `[]` | Tên miền cho phép (khớp chính xác hoặc subdomain) |
-| `max_response_size` | `1000000` | Kích thước response tối đa (byte, mặc định: 1 MB) |
-| `timeout_secs` | `30` | Thời gian chờ yêu cầu (giây) |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Mặc định từ chối tất cả: nếu `allowed_domains` rỗng, mọi yêu cầu HTTP bị từ chối.
-- Dùng khớp tên miền chính xác hoặc subdomain (ví dụ `"api.example.com"`, `"example.com"`).
-
-## `[gateway]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `host` | `127.0.0.1` | Địa chỉ bind |
-| `port` | `3000` | Cổng lắng nghe gateway |
-| `require_pairing` | `true` | Yêu cầu ghép nối trước khi xác thực bearer |
-| `allow_public_bind` | `false` | Chặn lộ public do vô ý |
-
-## `[autonomy]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `level` | `supervised` | `read_only`, `supervised` hoặc `full` |
-| `workspace_only` | `true` | Giới hạn ghi/lệnh trong phạm vi workspace |
-| `allowed_commands` | _bắt buộc để chạy shell_ | Danh sách lệnh được phép |
-| `forbidden_paths` | `[]` | Danh sách đường dẫn bị cấm |
-| `max_actions_per_hour` | `100` | Ngân sách hành động mỗi giờ |
-| `max_cost_per_day_cents` | `1000` | Giới hạn chi tiêu mỗi ngày (cent) |

-| `auto_approve` | `[]` | Thao tác tool luôn được tự động phê duyệt |
-| `always_ask` | `[]` | Thao tác tool luôn yêu cầu phê duyệt |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- `level = "full"` bỏ qua phê duyệt rủi ro trung bình cho shell execution, nhưng vẫn áp dụng guardrail đã cấu hình.
-- Phân tích toán tử/dấu phân cách shell nhận biết dấu ngoặc kép. Ký tự như `;` trong đối số được trích dẫn được xử lý là ký tự, không phải dấu phân cách lệnh.
-- Toán tử chuỗi shell không trích dẫn vẫn được kiểm tra bởi policy (`;`, `|`, `&&`, `||`, chạy nền và chuyển hướng).
-
-## `[memory]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `backend` | `sqlite` | `sqlite`, `lucid`, `markdown`, `none` |
-| `auto_save` | `true` | Chỉ lưu đầu vào người dùng (đầu ra assistant bị loại) |
-| `embedding_provider` | `none` | `none`, `openai` hoặc endpoint tùy chỉnh |
-| `embedding_model` | `text-embedding-3-small` | ID model embedding, hoặc tuyến `hint:` |
-| `embedding_dimensions` | `1536` | Kích thước vector mong đợi cho model embedding đã chọn |
-| `vector_weight` | `0.7` | Trọng số vector trong xếp hạng kết hợp |
-| `keyword_weight` | `0.3` | Trọng số từ khóa trong xếp hạng kết hợp |
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Chèn ngữ cảnh memory bỏ qua khóa auto-save `assistant_resp*` kiểu cũ để tránh tóm tắt do model tạo bị coi là sự thật.
-
-## `[[model_routes]]` và `[[embedding_routes]]`
-
-Route hint giúp tên tích hợp ổn định khi model ID thay đổi.
-
-### `[[model_routes]]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `hint` | _bắt buộc_ | Tên hint tác vụ (ví dụ `"reasoning"`, `"fast"`, `"code"`, `"summarize"`) |
-| `provider` | _bắt buộc_ | Provider đích (phải khớp tên provider đã biết) |
-| `model` | _bắt buộc_ | Model sử dụng với provider đó |
-| `api_key` | chưa đặt | API key tùy chỉnh cho provider của route này (tùy chọn) |
-
-### `[[embedding_routes]]`
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `hint` | _bắt buộc_ | Tên route hint (ví dụ `"semantic"`, `"archive"`, `"faq"`) |
-| `provider` | _bắt buộc_ | Embedding provider (`"none"`, `"openai"` hoặc `"custom:"`) |
-| `model` | _bắt buộc_ | Model embedding sử dụng với provider đó |
-| `dimensions` | chưa đặt | Ghi đè kích thước embedding cho route này (tùy chọn) |
-| `api_key` | chưa đặt | API key tùy chỉnh cho provider của route này (tùy chọn) |
-
-```toml
-[memory]
-embedding_model = "hint:semantic"
-
-[[model_routes]]
-hint = "reasoning"
-provider = "openrouter"
-model = "provider/model-id"
-
-[[embedding_routes]]
-hint = "semantic"
-provider = "openai"
-model = "text-embedding-3-small"
-dimensions = 1536
-```
-
-Chiến lược nâng cấp:
-
-1. Giữ hint ổn định (`hint:reasoning`, `hint:semantic`).
-2. Chỉ cập nhật `model = "...phiên-bản-mới..."` trong mục route.
-3. Kiểm tra bằng `zeroclaw doctor` trước khi khởi động lại/triển khai.
-
-## `[query_classification]`
-
-Tự động định tuyến tin nhắn đến hint `[[model_routes]]` theo mẫu nội dung.
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `enabled` | `false` | Bật phân loại truy vấn tự động |
-| `rules` | `[]` | Quy tắc phân loại (đánh giá theo thứ tự ưu tiên) |
-
-Mỗi rule trong `rules`:
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `hint` | _bắt buộc_ | Phải khớp giá trị hint trong `[[model_routes]]` |
-| `keywords` | `[]` | Khớp chuỗi con không phân biệt hoa thường |
-| `patterns` | `[]` | Khớp chuỗi chính xác phân biệt hoa thường (cho code fence, từ khóa như `"fn "`) |
-| `min_length` | chưa đặt | Chỉ khớp nếu độ dài tin nhắn ≥ N ký tự |
-| `max_length` | chưa đặt | Chỉ khớp nếu độ dài tin nhắn ≤ N ký tự |
-| `priority` | `0` | Rule ưu tiên cao hơn được kiểm tra trước |
-
-```toml
-[query_classification]
-enabled = true
-
-[[query_classification.rules]]
-hint = "reasoning"
-keywords = ["explain", "analyze", "why"]
-min_length = 200
-priority = 10
-
-[[query_classification.rules]]
-hint = "fast"
-keywords = ["hi", "hello", "thanks"]
-max_length = 50
-priority = 5
-```
-
-## `[channels_config]`
-
-Cấu hình kênh cấp cao nằm dưới `channels_config`.
-
-| Khóa | Mặc định | Mục đích |
-|---|---|---|
-| `message_timeout_secs` | `300` | Thời gian chờ cơ bản (giây) cho xử lý tin nhắn kênh; runtime tự điều chỉnh theo độ sâu tool-loop (lên đến 4x) |
-
-Ví dụ:
-
-- `[channels_config.telegram]`
-- `[channels_config.discord]`
-- `[channels_config.whatsapp]`
-- `[channels_config.email]`
-
-Lưu ý:
-
-- Mặc định `300s` tối ưu cho LLM chạy cục bộ (Ollama) vốn chậm hơn cloud API.
-- Ngân sách timeout runtime là `message_timeout_secs * scale`, trong đó `scale = min(max_tool_iterations, 4)` và tối thiểu `1`.
-- Việc điều chỉnh này tránh timeout sai khi lượt LLM đầu chậm/retry nhưng các lượt tool-loop sau vẫn cần hoàn tất.
-- Nếu dùng cloud API (OpenAI, Anthropic, v.v.), có thể giảm xuống `60` hoặc thấp hơn.
-- Giá trị dưới `30` bị giới hạn thành `30` để tránh timeout liên tục.
-- Khi timeout xảy ra, người dùng nhận: `⚠️ Request timed out while waiting for the model. Please try again.`
-- Hành vi ngắt chỉ Telegram được điều khiển bằng `channels_config.telegram.interrupt_on_new_message` (mặc định `false`).
-  Khi bật, tin nhắn mới từ cùng người gửi trong cùng chat sẽ hủy yêu cầu đang xử lý và giữ ngữ cảnh người dùng bị ngắt.
-- Khi `zeroclaw channel start` đang chạy, thay đổi `default_provider`, `default_model`, `default_temperature`, `api_key`, `api_url` và `reliability.*` được áp dụng nóng từ `config.toml` ở tin nhắn tiếp theo.

-//   2. XML tags: , , , 
-//   3. Markdown code blocks with `tool_call` language
-//   4. GLM-style line-based format (e.g. `shell/command>ls`)
-// SECURITY: We never fall back to extracting arbitrary JSON from the

-// malicious content in emails/files/web pages mimics a tool call.

-/// Parse tool calls from an LLM response that uses XML-style function calling.
-///
-/// Expected format (common with system-prompt-guided tool use):
-/// ```text
-/// 
-/// {"name": "shell", "arguments": {"command": "ls"}}
-/// 
-/// ```
-///
-/// Also accepts common tag variants (``, ``) for model
-/// compatibility.
-///
-/// Also supports JSON with `tool_calls` array from OpenAI-format responses.

-Core ZeroClaw orientation and self-configuration guidance.
-
-Use this skill when the user asks how ZeroClaw works, how to configure it, or where to find docs.
-
-## What ZeroClaw Is
-
-ZeroClaw is an open-source AI agent runtime and CLI for autonomous workflows, tool orchestration, and multi-channel operation.
-
-## Primary References
-
-- Canonical README: https://zeroclaw-labs.github.io/zeroclaw/README.md
-- Source repository: https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw
-
-## Fast Navigation
-
-- Runtime and CLI behavior: inspect `src/main.rs`, `src/lib.rs`, and `docs/commands-reference.md`.
-- Configuration schema and defaults: inspect `src/config/schema.rs`.
-- Agent loop and parsing behavior: inspect `src/agent/loop_.rs` and `src/agent/loop_/`.
-- Channels and prompt assembly: inspect `src/channels/mod.rs`.
-- Skills behavior and security audits: inspect `src/skills/mod.rs` and `src/skills/audit.rs`.
-
-## Working Rules
-
-- Prefer local repository docs first, then public docs.
-- If a behavior changed recently, verify current source code before answering.
-- Keep recommendations aligned with current defaults and security guardrails.

 Notes:
 
+- `browser_open` is a simple URL opener; `browser` is full browser automation (open/click/type/scroll/screenshot).
 - When `backend = "computer_use"`, the agent delegates browser actions to the sidecar at `computer_use.endpoint`.
 - `allow_remote_endpoint = false` (default) rejects any non-loopback endpoint to prevent accidental public exposure.
 - Use `window_allowlist` to restrict which OS windows the sidecar can interact with.

+## Web Access Issues
+
+### `curl`/`wget` blocked in shell tool
+
+Symptom:
+
+- tool output includes `Command blocked: high-risk command is disallowed by policy`
+- model says `curl`/`wget` is blocked
+
+Why this happens:
+
+- `curl`/`wget` are high-risk shell commands and may be blocked by autonomy policy.
+
+Preferred fix:
+
+- use purpose-built tools instead of shell fetch:
+  - `http_request` for direct API/HTTP calls
+  - `web_fetch` for page content extraction/summarization
+
+Minimal config:
+
+```toml
+[http_request]
+enabled = true
+allowed_domains = ["*"]
+
+[web_fetch]
+enabled = true
+provider = "fast_html2md"
+allowed_domains = ["*"]
+```
+
+### `web_search_tool` fails with `403`/`429`
+
+Symptom:
+
+- tool output includes `DuckDuckGo search failed with status: 403` (or `429`)
+
+Why this happens:
+
+- some networks/proxies/rate limits block DuckDuckGo HTML search endpoint traffic.
+
+Fix options:
+
+1. Switch provider to Brave (recommended when you have an API key):
+
+```toml
+[web_search]
+enabled = true
+provider = "brave"
+brave_api_key = ""
+```
+
+2. Switch provider to Firecrawl (if enabled in your build):
+
+```toml
+[web_search]
+enabled = true
+provider = "firecrawl"
+api_key = ""
+```
+
+3. Keep DuckDuckGo for search, but use `web_fetch` to read pages once you have URLs.
+
+### `web_fetch`/`http_request` says host is not allowed
+
+Symptom:
+
+- errors like `Host '' is not in http_request.allowed_domains`
+- or `web_fetch tool is enabled but no allowed_domains are configured`
+
+Fix:
+
+- include exact domains or `"*"` for public internet access:
+
+```toml
+[http_request]
+enabled = true
+allowed_domains = ["*"]
+
+[web_fetch]
+enabled = true
+allowed_domains = ["*"]
+blocked_domains = []
+```
+
+Security notes:
+
+- local/private network targets are blocked even with `"*"`
+- keep explicit domain allowlists in production environments when possible

The memory_config value is moved into Config at line 512, but was
borrowed at line 547. Use config.memory.backend instead.

Subject: [PATCH 20/43] feat: plugin system

Implements a plugin system for ZeroClaw modeled after OpenClaw's architecture.

Key components:
- Plugin trait and PluginApi for registering tools/hooks
- Plugin manifest (zeroclaw.plugin.toml) for metadata
- Plugin discovery from bundled, global, and workspace directories
- PluginRegistry managing loaded plugins, tools, and hooks
- Error isolation via panic catching in register()
- Config integration via [plugins] section

Example plugin included in extensions/hello-world/.

Closes #1414

+# ZeroClaw Plugin System
+
+A plugin architecture for ZeroClaw modeled after [OpenClaw's plugin system](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw), adapted for Rust.
+
+## Overview
+
+The plugin system allows extending ZeroClaw with custom tools, hooks, channels, and providers without modifying the core codebase. Plugins are discovered from standard directories, loaded at startup, and registered with the host through a clean API.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Key Components
+
+1. **Manifest** (`zeroclaw.plugin.toml`): Declares plugin metadata (id, name, version, description)
+2. **Plugin trait**: Defines the contract plugins must implement (`manifest()` + `register()`)
+3. **PluginApi**: Passed to `register()` so plugins can contribute tools, hooks, etc.
+4. **Discovery**: Scans bundled, global, and workspace extension directories
+5. **Registry**: Central store managing loaded plugins, tools, hooks, and diagnostics
+6. **Loader**: Orchestrates discovery → filtering → registration with error isolation
+
+### Comparison to OpenClaw
+
+| OpenClaw (TypeScript)              | ZeroClaw (Rust)                    |
+|------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
+| `openclaw.plugin.json`             | `zeroclaw.plugin.toml`             |
+| `OpenClawPluginDefinition`         | `Plugin` trait                     |
+| `OpenClawPluginApi`                | `PluginApi` struct                 |
+| `PluginRegistry` (class)           | `PluginRegistry` struct            |
+| `discover()` → `load()` → `register()` | `discover_plugins()` → `load_plugins()` |
+| Try/catch isolation                | `catch_unwind()` panic isolation   |
+| `[plugins]` config section         | `[plugins]` config section         |
+
+## Writing a Plugin
+
+### 1. Create the manifest
+
+`extensions/hello-world/zeroclaw.plugin.toml`:
+
+```toml
+id = "hello-world"
+name = "Hello World"
+description = "Example plugin demonstrating the ZeroClaw plugin API."
+version = "0.1.0"
+```
+
+### 2. Implement the Plugin trait
+
+`extensions/hello-world/src/lib.rs`:
+
+```rust
+use zeroclaw::plugins::{Plugin, PluginApi, PluginManifest};
+use zeroclaw::tools::traits::{Tool, ToolResult};
+use async_trait::async_trait;
+
+pub struct HelloWorldPlugin {
+    manifest: PluginManifest,
+}
+
+impl HelloWorldPlugin {
+    pub fn new() -> Self {
+        Self {
+            manifest: PluginManifest {
+                id: "hello-world".into(),
+                name: Some("Hello World".into()),
+                description: Some("Example plugin".into()),
+                version: Some("0.1.0".into()),
+                config_schema: None,
+            },
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+impl Plugin for HelloWorldPlugin {
+    fn manifest(&self) -> &PluginManifest {
+        &self.manifest
+    }
+
+    fn register(&self, api: &mut PluginApi) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
+        api.logger().info("registering hello-world plugin");
+        api.register_tool(Box::new(HelloTool));
+        api.register_hook(Box::new(HelloHook));
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+
+// Define your tool
+struct HelloTool;
+
+#[async_trait]
+impl Tool for HelloTool {
+    fn name(&self) -> &str { "hello" }
+    fn description(&self) -> &str { "Greet the user" }
+    fn parameters_schema(&self) -> serde_json::Value {
+        serde_json::json!({
+            "type": "object",
+            "properties": {
+                "name": { "type": "string", "description": "Name to greet" }
+            },
+            "required": ["name"]
+        })
+    }
+    async fn execute(&self, args: serde_json::Value) -> anyhow::Result {
+        let name = args.get("name").and_then(|v| v.as_str()).unwrap_or("world");
+        Ok(ToolResult {
+            success: true,
+            output: format!("Hello, {name}!"),
+            error: None,
+        })
+    }
+}
+
+// Define your hook
+struct HelloHook;
+
+#[async_trait]
+impl zeroclaw::hooks::HookHandler for HelloHook {
+    fn name(&self) -> &str { "hello-world:session-logger" }
+    async fn on_session_start(&self, session_id: &str, channel: &str) {
+        tracing::info!(plugin = "hello-world", session_id, channel, "session started");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Register as a builtin plugin
+
+For now, plugins must be compiled into the binary. In `src/gateway/mod.rs` or wherever plugins are initialized:
+
+```rust
+use zeroclaw::plugins::{load_plugins, Plugin};
+use hello_world_plugin::HelloWorldPlugin;
+
+let builtin_plugins: Vec> = vec![
+    Box::new(HelloWorldPlugin::new()),
+];
+
+let registry = load_plugins(&config.plugins, workspace_dir, builtin_plugins);
+```
+
+### 4. Enable in config
+
+`~/.zeroclaw/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[plugins]
+enabled = true
+
+[plugins.entries.hello-world]
+enabled = true
+
+[plugins.entries.hello-world.config]
+greeting = "Howdy"  # Custom config passed to the plugin
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Master Switch
+
+```toml
+[plugins]
+enabled = true  # Set to false to disable all plugin loading
+```
+
+### Allowlist / Denylist
+
+```toml
+[plugins]
+allow = ["hello-world", "my-plugin"]  # Only load these (empty = all eligible)
+deny = ["bad-plugin"]                 # Never load these
+```
+
+### Per-Plugin Config
+
+```toml
+[plugins.entries.my-plugin]
+enabled = true
+
+[plugins.entries.my-plugin.config]
+api_key = "secret"
+timeout_ms = 5000
+```
+
+Access in your plugin via `api.plugin_config()`:
+
+```rust
+fn register(&self, api: &mut PluginApi) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
+    let cfg = api.plugin_config();
+    let api_key = cfg.get("api_key").and_then(|v| v.as_str());
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+## Discovery
+
+Plugins are discovered from:
+
+1. **Bundled**: Compiled-in plugins (registered directly in code)
+2. **Global**: `~/.zeroclaw/extensions/`
+3. **Workspace**: `/.zeroclaw/extensions/`
+4. **Custom**: Paths in `plugins.load_paths`
+
+Each directory is scanned for subdirectories containing `zeroclaw.plugin.toml`.
+
+## Error Isolation
+
+Plugins are isolated from the host:
+
+- Panics in `register()` are caught and recorded as diagnostics
+- Errors returned from `register()` are logged and the plugin is marked as failed
+- A bad plugin won't crash ZeroClaw
+
+## Plugin API
+
+### PluginApi Methods
+
+- `register_tool(tool: Box)` — Add a tool to the registry
+- `register_hook(handler: Box)` — Add a lifecycle hook
+- `plugin_config() -> &toml::Value` — Access plugin-specific config
+- `logger() -> &PluginLogger` — Get a logger scoped to this plugin
+
+### Available Hooks
+
+Implement `zeroclaw::hooks::HookHandler`:
+
+- `on_session_start(session_id, channel)`
+- `on_session_end(session_id, channel)`
+- `on_tool_call(tool_name, args)`
+- `on_tool_result(tool_name, result)`
+
+## Future Extensions
+
+- **Dynamic loading**: Load plugins from `.so`/`.dylib`/`.wasm` at runtime (currently requires compilation)
+- **Hot reload**: Reload plugins without restarting ZeroClaw
+- **Plugin marketplace**: Discover and install community plugins
+- **Sandboxing**: Run untrusted plugins in isolated processes or WASM
+
+## Testing
+
+Run plugin system tests:
+
+```bash
+cargo test --lib plugins
+```
+
+## Example Plugins
+
+See `extensions/hello-world/` for a complete working example.

+//! Plugin system for ZeroClaw.
+//!
+//! Modeled after OpenClaw's plugin architecture, adapted for Rust:
+//!
+//! - **Manifest**: each plugin has a `zeroclaw.plugin.toml` descriptor
+//! - **Discovery**: scans bundled, global (`~/.zeroclaw/extensions/`), and
+//!   workspace (`.zeroclaw/extensions/`) directories
+//! - **Registry**: collects loaded plugins, their tools, hooks, and diagnostics
+//! - **PluginApi**: passed to `Plugin::register()` so plugins can register
+//!   tools, hooks, and services without knowing the host internals
+//! - **Error isolation**: panics inside plugin `register()` are caught and
+//!   recorded as diagnostics rather than crashing the host
+//!
+//! # Quick start
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! use zeroclaw::plugins::{Plugin, PluginApi, PluginManifest};
+//!
+//! pub struct MyPlugin { manifest: PluginManifest }
+//!
+//! impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
+//!     fn manifest(&self) -> &PluginManifest { &self.manifest }
+//!     fn register(&self, api: &mut PluginApi) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
+//!         api.register_tool(Box::new(MyTool));
+//!         Ok(())
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Then in your `config.toml`:
+//!
+//! ```toml
+//! [plugins]
+//! enabled = true
+//!
+//! [plugins.entries.my-plugin]
+//! enabled = true
+//! ```

+## `[security.url_access]`
+
+| Key | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `block_private_ip` | `true` | Block local/private/link-local/multicast addresses by default |
+| `allow_cidrs` | `[]` | CIDR ranges allowed to bypass private-IP blocking (`100.64.0.0/10`, `198.18.0.0/15`) |
+| `allow_domains` | `[]` | Domain patterns that bypass private-IP blocking before DNS checks (`internal.example`, `*.svc.local`) |
+| `allow_loopback` | `false` | Permit loopback targets (`localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `::1`) |
+
+Notes:
+
+- This policy is shared by `browser_open`, `http_request`, and `web_fetch`.
+- Tool-level allowlists still apply. `allow_domains` / `allow_cidrs` only override private/local blocking.
+- DNS rebinding protection remains enabled: resolved local/private IPs are denied unless explicitly allowlisted.
+
+Example:
+
+```toml
+[security.url_access]
+block_private_ip = true
+allow_cidrs = ["100.64.0.0/10", "198.18.0.0/15"]
+allow_domains = ["internal.example", "*.svc.local"]
+allow_loopback = false
+```

+### WASM Skills
+
+ZeroClaw supports WASM-compiled skills installable from the [ZeroMarket](https://zeromarket.vercel.app) registry and zip-based registries like [ClawhHub](https://clawhub.ai):
+
+```bash
+# Install from ZeroMarket registry
+zeroclaw skill install namespace/name
+
+# Install from ClawhHub (auto-detected by domain)
+zeroclaw skill install https://clawhub.ai/steipete/summarize
+
+# Install using ClawhHub short prefix
+zeroclaw skill install clawhub:summarize
+
+# Install from a zip file already downloaded locally
+zeroclaw skill install ~/Downloads/summarize-1.0.0.zip
+
+# Install from any direct zip URL
+zeroclaw skill install zip:https://example.com/my-skill.zip
+```
+
+If ClawhHub returns 429 (rate limit) or requires authentication, add to `~/.zeroclaw/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[skills]
+clawhub_token = "your-clawhub-token"
+```
+
+Skills are installed to `~/.zeroclaw/workspace/skills//` and loaded automatically as tools at agent runtime. No system `unzip` binary required — zip extraction is handled in-process.
+
+Build with WASM tool support (enabled by default):
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release                         # wasm-tools enabled by default
+cargo build --release --no-default-features   # disable wasm-tools for smaller binary
+```
+
+Publish your own skill to ZeroMarket: compile to WASM, upload `tool.wasm`, `manifest.json`, and `SKILL.md` via the ZeroMarket upload page. Use `zeroclaw skill new ` to scaffold a new skill project.

+│  • enforces memory, fuel, and output size limits            │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+The key insight: **no custom SDK or ABI boilerplate**. Any language that can read
+from stdin and write to stdout works. The only contract is the JSON shape described
+in [section 2](#32-protocol-stdin--stdout).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Prerequisites
+
+| Requirement | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| ZeroClaw built with `--features wasm-tools` | Enables the WASM runtime |
+| `wasmtime` CLI | Local testing (`zeroclaw skill test`) |
+| Language-specific toolchain | Building `.wasm` from source |
+
+Install `wasmtime` CLI:
+
+```bash
+# macOS / Linux
+curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
+
+# Or via cargo
+cargo install wasmtime-cli
+```
+
+Enable WASM support at compile time:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release --features wasm-tools
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Creating a Tool
+
+### 3.1 Scaffold from template
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill new  --template 
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill new weather_lookup --template rust
+```
+
+This creates a new directory `./weather_lookup/` with all boilerplate files ready
+to build. The `--template` flag defaults to `typescript` if omitted.
+
+Supported templates:
+
+| Template | Runtime | Build tool |
+|---|---|---|
+| `typescript` | Javy (JS → WASM) | `npm run build` |
+| `rust` | native wasm32-wasip1 | `cargo build` |
+| `go` | TinyGo | `tinygo build` |
+| `python` | componentize-py | `componentize-py` |
+
+---
+
+### 3.2 Protocol: stdin / stdout
+
+Every WASM tool must follow this single contract:
+
+**Input** (written to the tool's stdin by ZeroClaw):
+
+```json
+{ "param1": "value1", "param2": 42 }
+```
+
+The shape of the input object is whatever you define in `manifest.json` under
+`parameters`. ZeroClaw passes the LLM-provided argument object verbatim.
+
+**Output** (read from the tool's stdout by ZeroClaw):
+
+```json
+{ "success": true,  "output": "result text shown to LLM", "error": null }
+{ "success": false, "output": "",                          "error": "reason" }
+```
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `success` | bool | yes | `true` if tool completed normally |
+| `output` | string | yes | Result text forwarded to the LLM |
+| `error` | string or null | yes | Error message when `success` is `false` |
+
+---
+
+### 3.3 manifest.json
+
+Every tool must ship a `manifest.json` alongside `tool.wasm`. This file tells
+ZeroClaw the tool's name, description, and the JSON Schema for its parameters.
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "weather_lookup",
+  "description": "Fetches the current weather for a given city name.",
+  "version": "1",
+  "parameters": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+      "city": {
+        "type": "string",
+        "description": "City name to look up (e.g. Hanoi, Tokyo)"
+      },
+      "units": {
+        "type": "string",
+        "enum": ["metric", "imperial"],
+        "description": "Temperature unit system"
+      }
+    },
+    "required": ["city"]
+  },
+  "homepage": "https://github.com/yourname/weather_lookup"
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `name` | yes | snake_case tool name exposed to the LLM |
+| `description` | yes | Human-readable description (shown to LLM for tool selection) |
+| `version` | no | Manifest format version, default `"1"` |
+| `parameters` | yes | JSON Schema for the tool's input parameters |
+| `homepage` | no | Optional URL shown in `zeroclaw skill list` |
+
+The `name` field is the identifier the LLM uses when it decides to call your tool.
+Keep it descriptive and unique.
+

+
+### 3.4 Template: Rust
+
+**Scaffolded files:** `Cargo.toml`, `src/lib.rs`, `.cargo/config.toml`
+
+`src/lib.rs`:
+
+```rust

+
+**Build:**

+cp target/wasm32-wasip1/release/weather_lookup.wasm tool.wasm
+```
+

+
+### 3.5 Template: TypeScript
+
+**Scaffolded files:** `package.json`, `tsconfig.json`, `src/index.ts`
+
+`src/index.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// Read input from stdin (Javy provides Javy.IO)

+);
+
+function run(args: Record): string {

+    new TextEncoder().encode(
+      JSON.stringify({ success: false, output: "", error: String(err) })
+    )
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Build:**
+
+```bash
+# Install Javy: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/javy/releases
+npm install
+npm run build   # → tool.wasm
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3.6 Template: Go
+
+**Scaffolded files:** `go.mod`, `main.go`
+
+`main.go`:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "encoding/json"
+    "fmt"
+    "io"
+    "os"
+)
+
+type Args struct {
+    City  string `json:"city"`
+    Units string `json:"units"`
+}
+
+type ToolResult struct {
+    Success bool    `json:"success"`
+    Output  string  `json:"output"`

+        Success: true,
+        Output:  fmt.Sprintf("Weather in %s: sunny 28°C", args.City),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Build:**
+
+```bash
+# Install TinyGo: https://tinygo.org/getting-started/install/
+tinygo build -o tool.wasm -target wasi .
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3.7 Template: Python
+
+**Scaffolded files:** `app.py`, `requirements.txt`
+
+`app.py`:
+
+```python
+import sys
+import json
+
+def run(args: dict) -> str:
+    city = str(args.get("city", ""))
+    # Your logic here
+    return f"Weather in {city}: sunny 28°C"
+
+def main():
+    raw = sys.stdin.read()
+    try:
+        args = json.loads(raw)
+        output = run(args)
+        result = {"success": True, "output": output, "error": None}
+    except Exception as exc:
+        result = {"success": False, "output": "", "error": str(exc)}
+    sys.stdout.write(json.dumps(result))
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    main()
+```
+
+**Build:**
+
+```bash
+pip install componentize-py
+componentize-py -d wit/ -w zeroclaw-skill componentize app -o tool.wasm
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Building
+
+After editing your tool logic, build it into `tool.wasm`:
+
+| Template | Build command | Output |
+|---|---|---|
+| Rust | `cargo build --target wasm32-wasip1 --release && cp target/wasm32-wasip1/release/*.wasm tool.wasm` | `tool.wasm` |
+| TypeScript | `npm run build` | `tool.wasm` |
+| Go | `tinygo build -o tool.wasm -target wasi .` | `tool.wasm` |
+| Python | `componentize-py -d wit/ -w zeroclaw-skill componentize app -o tool.wasm` | `tool.wasm` |
+
+The output must always be named `tool.wasm` at the root of the skill directory.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Testing Locally
+
+Before installing, test the tool directly without starting the full ZeroClaw agent:
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill test . --args '{"city":"Hanoi","units":"metric"}'
+```
+
+You can also test an installed skill by name:
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill test weather_lookup --args '{"city":"Tokyo"}'
+```
+
+Or test a specific tool inside a multi-tool skill:
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill test . --tool my_tool_name --args '{"city":"Paris"}'
+```
+
+Under the hood, `skill test` pipes the JSON args into `wasmtime run tool.wasm` via
+stdin and prints the raw stdout response. This lets you iterate quickly without
+restarting the agent.
+
+You can also test manually using `wasmtime` directly:
+
+```bash
+echo '{"city":"Hanoi"}' | wasmtime tool.wasm
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```json
+{"success":true,"output":"Weather in Hanoi: sunny 28°C","error":null}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Installing
+
+### 6.1 Install from a local path
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill install ./weather_lookup
+```
+
+This copies your skill directory into `/skills/weather_lookup/`.
+ZeroClaw will auto-discover it on next startup.
+
+### 6.2 Install from a git repository
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill install https://github.com/yourname/weather_lookup.git
+```
+
+ZeroClaw clones the repository into the skills directory and scans for WASM tools.
+
+### 6.3 Install from ZeroMarket registry
+
+```bash
+# Format: namespace/package-name
+zeroclaw skill install acme/weather-lookup
+
+# With a specific version
+zeroclaw skill install acme/weather-lookup@0.2.1
+```
+
+ZeroClaw fetches the package index from the configured registry URL, then downloads
+`tool.wasm` and `manifest.json` for each tool in the package.
+
+**Verify the install:**
+
+```bash
+zeroclaw skill list
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. How ZeroClaw Loads and Uses the Tool
+
+### 7.1 Startup discovery
+
+Every time the ZeroClaw agent starts, it scans the `skills/` directory and loads
+all valid WASM tools automatically. No config change or restart command is needed
+after installation.
+
+```
+/
+└── skills/
+    └── weather_lookup/           ← skill package root
+        ├── SKILL.toml
+        └── tools/
+            └── weather_lookup/   ← individual tool directory
+                ├── tool.wasm     ← compiled WASM binary
+                └── manifest.json ← tool metadata
+```
+
+A simpler "dev layout" is also supported (useful right after building):
+
+```
+/
+└── skills/
+    └── weather_lookup/
+        ├── tool.wasm
+        └── manifest.json
+```
+
+### 7.2 Tool registration
+
+After discovery, each `WasmTool` is registered in the agent's tool registry
+alongside built-in tools like `shell`, `file`, `web_fetch`, etc. The LLM sees
+all registered tools equally — it has no way to distinguish a built-in tool from
+a WASM plugin.
+
+### 7.3 LLM tool selection
+
+When a user sends a message, the agent attaches the full tool registry (including
+all WASM tools) to the LLM context. The LLM reads each tool's `name` and
+`description` from the manifest and decides which tool to call based on the
+user's request.
+
+Example conversation:
+
+```
+User:  What is the weather in Hanoi right now?
+
+Agent: [internally, LLM selects tool "weather_lookup" with args {"city":"Hanoi"}]
+
+       ZeroClaw calls weather_lookup WASM tool:
+         stdin  → {"city":"Hanoi"}
+         stdout ← {"success":true,"output":"Weather in Hanoi: sunny 28°C","error":null}
+
+Agent: The current weather in Hanoi is sunny with a temperature of 28°C.
+```
+
+### 7.4 Invocation flow
+
+```
+LLM decides to call "weather_lookup"
+  │
+  ▼
+WasmTool::execute(args: JSON)
+  │
+  ├─ serialize args to stdin bytes
+  ├─ spin up wasmtime WASI sandbox
+  ├─ write stdin → WASM process
+  ├─ read stdout ← WASM process  (capped at 1 MiB)
+  ├─ enforce fuel limit          (≈ 1 billion instructions)
+  ├─ enforce wall-clock timeout  (30 seconds)
+  └─ deserialize ToolResult JSON
+  │
+  ▼
+Agent formats output and responds to user
+```
+
+### 7.5 Error handling
+
+If a tool fails (non-zero exit, invalid JSON, timeout, fuel exhaustion), ZeroClaw
+logs a warning and returns the error to the LLM. The agent continues running —
+a broken plugin never crashes the process.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Directory Layout Reference
+
+**Installed layout** (created by `zeroclaw skill install`):
+
+```
+skills/
+└── /
+    ├── SKILL.toml                 ← package metadata (shown in skill list)
+    └── tools/
+        └── /
+            ├── tool.wasm          ← WASM binary
+            └── manifest.json      ← tool metadata
+```
+
+**Dev layout** (for quick iteration, right after `cargo build`):
+
+```
+skills/
+└── /
+    ├── tool.wasm
+    └── manifest.json
+```
+
+Both layouts are discovered automatically. Use dev layout while developing, switch
+to installed layout for distribution.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Configuration (`[wasm]` section)
+
+Add this section to your `zeroclaw.toml` to tune WASM tool behavior:
+
+```toml
+[wasm]
+# Disable all WASM tools (default: true)
+enabled = true
+
+# Maximum memory per invocation in MiB, clamped 1–256 (default: 64)
+memory_limit_mb = 64
+
+# CPU fuel budget — roughly one unit per WASM instruction (default: 1_000_000_000)
+fuel_limit = 1_000_000_000
+
+# Registry URL used by `zeroclaw skill install namespace/package`
+registry_url = "https://registry.zeromarket.dev"
+```
+
+To disable all WASM tools without uninstalling them:
+
+```toml
+[wasm]
+enabled = false
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Security Model
+
+WASM tools run inside a strict WASI sandbox enforced by wasmtime:
+
+| Constraint | Default |
+|---|---|
+| Filesystem access | **Denied** — no preopened directories |
+| Network sockets | **Denied** — WASI network not enabled |
+| Max memory | 64 MiB (configurable, max 256 MiB) |
+| Max CPU instructions | ~1 billion (configurable) |
+| Max wall-clock time | 30 seconds hard limit |
+| Max output size | 1 MiB |
+| Registry transport | HTTPS only — HTTP is rejected |
+| Registry path traversal | Tool names validated before writing to disk |
+
+A malicious or buggy WASM tool cannot:
+- Read or write files on the host
+- Make network connections
+- Access environment variables
+- Consume unbounded CPU or memory
+- Crash the ZeroClaw process
+
+---
+
+## 11. Troubleshooting
+
+**`WASM tools are not enabled in this build`**
+
+Recompile with the feature flag:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+**`wasmtime` not found during `skill test`**
+
+Install the wasmtime CLI:
+
+```bash
+curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
+# or
+cargo install wasmtime-cli
+```
+
+**`WASM module must export '_start'`**
+
+Your binary must be compiled as a WASI executable (not a library). For Rust, ensure
+your `Cargo.toml` does **not** set `crate-type = ["cdylib"]` — use the default
+binary crate instead. For Go, use `tinygo build -target wasi` (not `wasm`).
+
+**`WASM tool wrote nothing to stdout`**
+
+Your tool exited without writing a JSON result. Check that your `run()` function
+always writes to stdout before returning, including in error paths.
+
+**Tool not appearing in `zeroclaw skill list`**
+
+- Verify `manifest.json` exists alongside `tool.wasm`
+- Validate the JSON is well-formed: `cat manifest.json | python3 -m json.tool`
+- Restart the agent — tools are discovered at startup
+
+**`curl failed` during registry install**
+
+Ensure `curl` is installed and the registry URL uses HTTPS. Custom registries must
+be reachable and return the expected package index JSON format.

+//! WASM plugin tool — executes a `.wasm` binary as a ZeroClaw tool.
+//!
+//! # Feature gate
+//! Only compiled when `--features wasm-tools` is active.
+//! Without the feature, [`WasmTool`] stubs return a clear error.
+//!
+//! # Protocol (WASI stdio)
+//!
+//! The WASM module communicates via standard WASI stdin / stdout:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! Host → stdin  : UTF-8 JSON of the tool args (from LLM)
+//! Host ← stdout : UTF-8 JSON of ToolResult
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Expected stdout shape:
+//! ```json
+//! { "success": true, "output": "...", "error": null }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This means **any language** that can read stdin / write stdout works:
+//! TypeScript (Javy), Rust (wasm32-wasip1), Go (TinyGo), Python (componentize-py), etc.
+//! No custom SDK or ABI boilerplate required.
+//!
+//! # Security
+//! - No filesystem preopened dirs (deny-by-default).
+//! - No network sockets (WASI sockets not enabled).
+//! - Execution time capped via wasmtime epoch interruption: a 1 Hz ticker
+//!   thread advances the epoch each second; the WASM store's deadline is set to
+//!   [`WASM_TIMEOUT_SECS`] epochs so runaway modules are preempted without
+//!   relying on OS-level process signals.
+//! - Output capped at 1 MiB (enforced by [`MemoryOutputPipe`] capacity).

 Notes:
 
 - `webhook` mode is now the default and serves inbound callbacks at `POST /qq`.
+- Set `environment = "sandbox"` to target `https://sandbox.api.sgroup.qq.com` for unpublished bot testing.
 - QQ validation challenge payloads (`op = 13`) are auto-signed using `app_secret`.
 - `X-Bot-Appid` is checked when present and must match `app_id`.
 - Set `receive_mode = "websocket"` to keep the legacy gateway WS receive path.

+## `[security.perplexity_filter]`
+
+Lightweight, opt-in adversarial suffix filter that runs before provider calls in channel and gateway message pipelines.
+
+| Key | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `enable_perplexity_filter` | `false` | Enable pre-LLM statistical suffix anomaly blocking |
+| `perplexity_threshold` | `18.0` | Character-class bigram perplexity threshold |
+| `suffix_window_chars` | `64` | Trailing character window used for anomaly scoring |
+| `min_prompt_chars` | `32` | Minimum prompt length before filter is evaluated |
+| `symbol_ratio_threshold` | `0.20` | Minimum punctuation ratio in suffix window for blocking |
+
+Notes:
+
+- This filter is disabled by default to preserve baseline latency/behavior.
+- The detector combines character-class perplexity with GCG-like token heuristics.
+- Inputs are blocked only when anomaly conditions are met; normal natural-language prompts pass.
+- Typical per-message overhead is designed to stay under `50ms` in debug-safe local tests and substantially lower in release builds.
+
+Example:
+
+```toml
+[security.perplexity_filter]
+enable_perplexity_filter = true
+perplexity_threshold = 16.5
+suffix_window_chars = 72
+min_prompt_chars = 40
+symbol_ratio_threshold = 0.25
+```
+
 ## `[agents.]`
 
 Delegate sub-agent configurations. Each key under `[agents]` defines a named sub-agent that the primary agent can delegate to.

+# Perplexity Filter (Opt-In)
+
+ZeroClaw provides an opt-in lightweight statistical filter that detects
+adversarial suffixes (for example, GCG-style optimized gibberish tails)
+before messages are sent to an LLM provider.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Applies to channel and gateway inbound messages before provider execution.
+- Does not require external model calls or heavyweight guard models.
+- Disabled by default for compatibility and latency predictability.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The filter evaluates a trailing prompt window using:
+
+1. Character-class bigram perplexity.
+2. Suffix punctuation ratio.
+3. GCG-like token pattern checks (mixed punctuation + letters + digits).
+
+The message is blocked only when anomaly criteria are met.
+
+## Config
+
+```toml
+[security.perplexity_filter]
+enable_perplexity_filter = true
+perplexity_threshold = 16.5
+suffix_window_chars = 72
+min_prompt_chars = 40
+symbol_ratio_threshold = 0.25
+```
+
+## Latency
+
+The implementation is O(n) over prompt length and avoids network calls.
+Local debug-safe regression includes a strict `<50ms` budget test for a
+typical multi-sentence prompt payload.
+
+## Tuning Guidance
+
+- Increase `perplexity_threshold` if you see false positives.
+- Increase `symbol_ratio_threshold` to reduce blocking of technical strings.
+- Increase `min_prompt_chars` to ignore short prompts where statistics are weak.
+- Keep the feature disabled unless you explicitly need this extra defense layer.

+# Official Channels And Fraud Prevention
+
+This page is the evergreen security statement for community safety and impersonation defense.
+
+## Fraud Warning
+
+Scammers may impersonate ZeroClaw maintainers, contributors, or community members.
+
+Assume fraud if someone claiming to represent ZeroClaw asks for:
+
+- cryptocurrency transfers
+- wallet access or seed phrases
+- private financial information
+- private credentials outside official security reporting flow
+
+ZeroClaw maintainers do not request money or private wallet/financial credentials via direct messages.
+
+## Official Sources Of Truth
+
+Use these sources to verify announcements:
+
+- GitHub repository: `zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw`
+- GitHub Security policy and advisories: [../../SECURITY.md](../../SECURITY.md)
+
+Treat third-party links and social posts as untrusted until confirmed in the GitHub repository.
+
+## How To Verify Announcements
+
+1. Check whether the same announcement exists in GitHub issues, PRs, releases, or docs.
+2. Confirm the posting account is an expected project maintainer/org account.
+3. Prefer links that originate from repository pages rather than forwarded DMs.
+
+## Reporting Suspicious Activity
+
+If you see impersonation attempts or scam outreach:
+
+1. Do not engage or send funds/data.
+2. Capture evidence (screenshots, usernames, URLs, timestamps).
+3. Open a GitHub issue in `zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw` with sanitized details.
+
+For vulnerability disclosure, use private reporting:
+
+- Security policy: [../../SECURITY.md](../../SECURITY.md)
+- Private report template: [private-vulnerability-report-template.md](private-vulnerability-report-template.md)
