Dimmed explanatory prose blocks were hard to read against dark terminals. Shift the weight ladder up a notch:
- dimWrap() no longer dims. Multi-line prose (the step-intro copy, etc.) renders at the terminal's regular weight.
- Spinner outcome labels (done/failed/skipped) are now bold via runUnderSpinner, so each step's headline reads stronger than the body copy around it.
- Un-dim two command-hint blocks in auto.ts (docker-group setfacl + service restart; the socket-error remediation commands) — those are commands the user may need to type.
Dim is still used where it helps — (Ns) spinner timings, URLs, short inline parentheticals — and for the preview/debug blocks dim is explicitly reserved for: dumpTranscriptOnFailure tail and claude-assist streams.

- Container step: duration hint + 3-line rolling output window with
60s stall detector that offers "keep waiting" vs "ask Claude"
- First chat: reframed as a try-out with sandbox-model explainer
(wakes on message, sleeps when idle, context persists)
- Timezone: auto-detected non-UTC zones now get an explicit
confirm from the user instead of silent persist
- Outro: added always-on warning + prominent "check your DM" banner
when a channel was configured; directive last line
- Discord: always show token-location reminder even when user says
they have one; new "do you have a server?" branch walks through
server creation if not
- All select prompts: custom brightSelect renderer keeps inactive
option labels at full brightness (was dim gray); adds @clack/core
as a direct dep

Shared bash + node emitter in setup/lib/diagnostics.{sh,ts} reads/writes data/install-id so every event from a single install shares one distinct_id — bash-side setup_launched/setup_start, node-side auto_started, per-step started/completed, auth_method_chosen, channel_chosen, first_chat_ready/failed, setup_incomplete, setup_aborted, setup_completed. Opt-out via NANOCLAW_NO_DIAGNOSTICS=1.

When a setup step fails — whether hard via fail() or soft via the
"What's left" / "Skipping the first chat" notes — offer to ask Claude
to diagnose. On consent, spawn `claude -p --output-format stream-json`
with a scrolling 3-line action window ("Reading x", "Running y") so
the 1–4 minute investigations feel active rather than hung. No hard
timeout: debugging can take time, Ctrl-C is the escape hatch.
The prompt is minimal: one-paragraph framing, failed step name + msg +
hint, and a list of file references (not contents). Claude's Read/Grep
tools fetch what they need. A per-step map in claude-assist.ts gives
the most relevant files per step; the rest is README + auto.ts +
logs/setup.log + the per-step raw log.
Claude responds with REASON + COMMAND lines. We show the reason in a
clack note, prefill the command via setup/run-suggested.sh (bash 4+
readline, 3.x fallback to Enter-to-run), and eval on the user's
confirm.
When the user runs a fix, fail() now offers to retry the failing step
rather than aborting. setup/logs.ts tracks successfully-completed step
names in-memory; fail() threads those as NANOCLAW_SKIP on a spawnSync
retry, so the child picks up exactly where the parent left off — no
rebuilding containers or reinstalling OneCLI.
Other polish in this change:
- fitToWidth + dimWrap in lib/theme.ts to prevent long spinner labels
from soft-wrapping (each terminal row stacks a stale copy otherwise).
- Shorter container step label ("Preparing your assistant's sandbox…")
so it fits on narrow terminals.
- Wordmark anchored in the clack intro line on every run.
- All 25 existing fail() call sites updated to await fail(...) since
fail is now async.

auto.ts had grown to 923 lines with ~10 interleaved responsibilities.
Split into three focused modules, keeping auto.ts as a pure step
sequencer:
- setup/lib/runner.ts (325 lines) — spawn + stream-parse + spinner-wrap
primitives. Exports: spawnStep, spawnQuiet, runQuietStep,
runQuietChild, runUnderSpinner (internal), StatusStream, types
(Fields, Block, StepResult, SpinnerLabels, QuietChildResult),
writeStepEntry, summariseTerminalFields, dumpTranscriptOnFailure,
fail(), ensureAnswer().
- setup/lib/theme.ts (39 lines) — brand palette (brand, brandBold,
brandChip) with USE_ANSI / TRUECOLOR gating, so both auto.ts and
channel flows can render the NanoClaw cyan without duplicating the
detection.
- setup/channels/telegram.ts (277 lines) — runTelegramChannel(displayName)
owns the full flow: BotFather instructions, token paste + validation
(via getMe), install script, pair-telegram streaming UI (code card +
attempt checkpoints), agent-name prompt, init-first-agent wiring.
auto.ts drops to 376 lines. main() reads as a clean sequence of
`if (!skip.has(X)) await Xstep(...)` blocks.
fail() now takes the step name explicitly — no module-level
failingStep state. Every call site is grep-friendly and self-contained
(fail('container', msg, hint)).
Typechecks clean. Smoke-tested end-to-end: intro, mounts step,
progression log, and outro all render the same as before the split.
