Replaces the agent-group-centric "main group" concept with user-level
privileges and adds the cold-DM infrastructure needed for proactive
outbound messaging (pairing, approvals, welcome flows).
Privilege model
- New tables: users, user_roles (owner global-only; admin global or
scoped to an agent_group), agent_group_members (explicit non-
privileged access; admin/owner imply membership), user_dms (cold-DM
resolution cache).
- Removed agent_groups.is_admin, messaging_groups.admin_user_id. Replaced
with messaging_groups.unknown_sender_policy (strict | request_approval
| public) for per-chat unknown-sender gating.
- src/access.ts: canAccessAgentGroup, pickApprover, pickApprovalDelivery.
- src/router.ts: access gate on every inbound, honoring
unknown_sender_policy for unknown senders.
- src/channels/telegram.ts: pairing interceptor upserts the paired user
and promotes them to owner if hasAnyOwner() is false (first-pair-wins).
Cold DM infrastructure
- ChannelAdapter.openDM?(handle) — optional method. Chat-SDK-bridge wires
it to chat.openDM() for resolution-required channels (Discord, Slack,
Teams, Webex, gChat); direct-addressable channels (Telegram, WhatsApp,
iMessage, Matrix, Resend) fall through to the handle directly.
- src/user-dm.ts: ensureUserDm(userId) — resolves + caches via user_dms.
Approval routing
- onecli-approvals + delivery use pickApprover + pickApprovalDelivery:
scoped admins → global admins → owners (dedup), first reachable via
ensureUserDm, same-channel-kind tie-break. Approvals land in the
approver's DM, not the origin chat.
Delivery fixes
- delivery.ts ACL rejection now throws instead of returning undefined —
the outer loop previously marked rejected messages as delivered.
- Implicit-origin allow: session.messaging_group_id === target skips the
destination check.
- createMessagingGroupAgent auto-creates the companion agent_destinations
row (normalized local_name from the messaging group's name, collision-
broken within the agent's namespace).
Container
- container-runner.ts: /workspace/global always read-only; drops
NANOCLAW_IS_ADMIN; adds NANOCLAW_ADMIN_USER_IDS (owners + global admins
+ scoped admins for this agent group). Agent-runner poll-loop gates
slash commands against that set.
New skill: /init-first-agent
- Walks the operator through standing up the first agent for a channel:
channel pick → identity lookup (reads each channel SKILL.md's
## Channel Info > how-to-find-id) → DM platform_id resolution (direct-
addressable, cold-DM via "user DMs bot first + sqlite lookup", or
Telegram pair-code fallback) → run scripts/init-first-agent.ts →
verify via tail of nanoclaw.log.
- scripts/init-first-agent.ts: parameterized helper that upserts the
user + grants owner (if none), creates dm-with-<display-name> agent
group + initGroupFilesystem, reuses/creates the DM messaging_group,
wires it (auto-creates destination), resolves the session, and writes
a kind:'chat' / sender:'system' welcome message into inbound.db. Host
sweep wakes the container and the agent DMs the operator via the
normal delivery path.
/manage-channels rewrite
- Drops --is-main / --jid / main-vs-non-main isolation references.
- First-channel flow delegates to /init-first-agent.
- Explains createMessagingGroupAgent auto-creates destinations.
- Adds a privileged-users show section.
setup/
- register.ts: drop --is-main, --jid, --local-name, --trigger
requiresTrigger defaults; call initGroupFilesystem; normalize to
v2 schema (no is_admin, no admin_user_id, sets unknown_sender_policy
'strict'); let createMessagingGroupAgent handle the destination row.
- pair-telegram.ts: emit PAIRED_USER_ID (namespaced "telegram:<id>")
instead of ADMIN_USER_ID; update header comment.
- register.test.ts deleted — was v1-only, tested a registered_groups
table that no longer exists.
Docs
- v2-architecture-diagram.{md,html}: ER diagram updated to drop
is_admin/admin_user_id, add unknown_sender_policy, and include
users/user_roles/agent_group_members/user_dms.
- v2-architecture-draft.md: approval-routing paragraph rewritten for
pickApprover/pickApprovalDelivery/ensureUserDm; SQL schema block
updated; admin-verification paragraph references
NANOCLAW_ADMIN_USER_IDS.
- v2-setup-wiring.md: entity-model sketch rewritten.
- v2-checklist.md: marked privilege refactor / container filtering /
approval routing / unknown-sender gating done; removed obsolete
admin_user_id and main-vs-non-main items.
Scripts
- scripts/init-first-agent.ts (new) replaces scripts/welcome-owner-dm.ts
(removed; welcome-owner was a Discord-specific one-off).
- test-v2-host.ts, test-v2-channel-e2e.ts, seed-discord.ts: drop
is_admin + admin_user_id, use unknown_sender_policy.
Tests
- src/access.test.ts (new): 14 tests for canAccessAgentGroup, role
helpers, pickApprover, ensureUserDm, pickApprovalDelivery.
- src/db/db-v2.test.ts: adds 3 tests for the auto-created
agent_destinations row (normalized name, no duplicates, collision
break within an agent group).
- host-core.test.ts, channel-registry.test.ts: updated fixtures to
use unknown_sender_policy: 'public' where the test exercises routing
rather than the access gate.

Approval cards now carry a required title (Add MCP Request, Install
Packages Request, Rebuild Request, Credentials Request) and structured
options with distinct pre-click label, post-click selectedLabel (e.g.
"✅ Approved" / "❌ Rejected"), and value used for click routing. The
title and normalized options are persisted in pending_questions so the
post-click card edit can render the correct per-type title and selected
label on both chat-sdk channels and Discord interactions.

Skills document env vars in SKILL.md instead of patching config.ts.
Prettier printWidth 120 to keep log calls and signatures on one line.
Thin logging wrapper for one-line structured log calls.

Based on analysis of 33 skill branches. Maps each conflict hotspot
(index.ts, config.ts, container-runner.ts, db.ts) to its v2 solution.
Adds mount registration pattern so channel skills don't edit
container-runner. Config stays in the module that uses it.

Split DB by entity (agent-groups.ts, messaging-groups.ts, sessions.ts)
instead of one monolith. Numbered migration files replace inline
ALTER TABLE blocks. Channels use barrel pattern for self-registration.
Session DB split into messages-in.ts and messages-out.ts.

Channels, MCP tools, and providers use registration patterns so
skill branches can add capabilities without conflicting. Index
stays thin. File map updated with channels/ and mcp-tools/
directories.
