A prompt that waits on the human is announced after a grace period, and the
notification can carry the answer: allow / deny / review buttons for a
confirmation, a reply field for an `ask_user_line`. `doc/notifications.md` lays
out the two channels (the optional `desktop-notifier` extra, and OSC 777 / OSC 9
written to `/dev/tty` with no dependency), what each prompt kind offers, why the
reason line stays out by default, and the platform limits — no buttons where a
server does not render them, a reply field only under KDE, kitty left with the
bell.
The example config and the README config block gain the `[notify]` section, and
AGENTS.md documents the three prompt hooks and the rule that only the outermost
prompt of a nested read is announced.
`doc/images.md` holds the message shape, how `@path` attaches a file, the
per-surface mapping, the provider limits, what a live probe against DeepSeek
confirmed (`tool_result` and `function_call_output` images work, `detail: low`
is 3.4x cheaper, an assistant-message image is a 400), and why the Files API is
not used.
AGENTS.md gets the invariants and the mention/config keys; `doc/architecture.md`
and the example TOML point at it.
doc/turns-and-rounds.md defines the two nested units the loop is built on: a round is one request→response plus the tool batch it asked for, a turn is one user message through the explicit stop (0..N rounds), and a session is a stored sequence of turns. It records what bounds each unit (max_rounds, truncation continues, retries), which work is round-scoped (request assembly, context reduction, the aggregated soft confirm) and which state resets per turn (read-before-edit, yyy auto-continue, /yolo once, the todo touched flag, usage totals) versus what outlives it (rows, todo stack, grants, reminder bands).
Linked from the architecture doc, with the short version in AGENTS.md.
README and the example config cover the [skills] section, the five tools, and
the read/write split; AGENTS.md gains the skills/ package, the tool family, the
config fields, and the /skills + /status surface; architecture.md lists the
package. doc/skills.md is the author guide: layout, the frontmatter subset and
how a broken one degrades, roots and shadowing, what the agent sees, the
grant story for reads and writes, and the warning that a skill is data —
third-party skill directories are untrusted input.
