The dev-agent-in-worktree approach for source self-modification is abandoned
in favor of a direct draft/activate flow with OS-level RO enforcement
(planned, not yet implemented). Strip the whole subgraph:
src/builder-agent/, pending-swaps DB module + migration 006, builder-agent
MCP tools, and all host wiring (startup sweep, approval routing, deadman,
worktree mount, freeze gate). Tool descriptions in self-mod.ts / agents.ts
no longer cross-reference create_dev_agent. CLAUDE.md + v2-checklist updated
to describe the new direction.

Checkpoints the builder-agent dev-agent/worktree/swap flow (create_dev_agent,
request_swap, classifier, deadman, promote) before pivoting to a unified
draft-activate approach with OS-level RO enforcement. Lifts container_config
out of the agent_groups row into groups/<folder>/container.json so install_packages,
add_mcp_server, and rebuild flows can eventually route through the same draft
path as source edits.

- create_agent is not admin-gated (host has no role check on the system
action; agentTools unconditionally in the container MCP tool list).
- install_packages / add_mcp_server approval is owner/admin via
pickApprover, not "admin-only".
- Chat-first setup bootstrap + post-handoff welcome are partially done
via /setup + /init-first-agent (still TODO: single top-level entrypoint,
welcome prompt expansion).
- Add entries for cold-DM infrastructure (ChannelAdapter.openDM,
ensureUserDm, user_dms cache) and /init-first-agent skill under
Channel Adapters.
- Add entry for delivery ACL throw-on-unauthorized + implicit-origin
allow + auto-create agent_destinations on wire (the silent-drop bug
fix from the welcome-DM end-to-end test).

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.

Install approval now auto-rebuilds the image and kills the container,
replacing the prior two-card flow where the agent had to call
request_rebuild separately after install_packages was approved.
Queues a processAfter=+5s synthetic prompt so the respawned container
verifies the new packages and reports back to the user.
Adds two v2-checklist gaps found along the way:
- /remote-control and /remote-control-end are v1 host-level commands
not ported to v2
- messaging_groups.admin_user_id is hardcoded null at registration

Pairing-code registration applies to every Telegram group once the privileged
"main chat" identity goes away.

- session-manager.ts: shrink the cross-mount invariant header from 31
lines to 12, keeping each invariant's cause and consequence inline.
- agent-runner/db/connection.ts: parallel cross-mount comment for the
container-side reader (inbound.db must be journal_mode=DELETE).
- agent-runner/db/messages-out.ts: document that even/odd seq parity
is load-bearing — seq is the agent-facing message ID returned by
send_message and consumed by edit_message / add_reaction, looked
up across both tables.
- v2-checklist.md: record the cross-mount invariants and seq parity
under Core Architecture so future "simplifications" don't regress
them.
- scripts/sanity-live-poll.ts: empirical validation harness for the
three cross-mount invariants — flips each one and observes silent
message loss / corruption.
- delivery.ts: inline routeAgentMessage at its single callsite (-17
net lines). The wrapper added more boilerplate than it factored.
- docs/v2-architecture-diagram.{md,html}: rendered Mermaid diagrams
of the v2 system, message flow, named destinations, entity model,
and the two-DB split.
- channels/adapter.ts, chat-sdk-bridge.ts, credentials.ts,
db/sessions.ts, db/db-v2.test.ts: prettier format pass.

Mark OneCLI manual-approval integration and credential collection from chat
as partial with concrete sub-TODOs. Add upstream asks:
* Chat SDK input support beyond Slack — platforms support it natively
(Discord modals, Teams/GChat/Webex Adaptive Cards, WhatsApp Flows), Chat
SDK just doesn't expose the surfaces yet. Concrete per-platform mapping
captured.
* Built-in OneCLI apps shadow generic secrets on the same host; the
collection tool should check apps-list first and surface the connect URL
when an app exists.
* Tunneled OneCLI dashboard fallback for channels with no native form input.
* Per-agent-group secret scoping via OneCLI agentId.
* SDK-native secret management to replace the shell facade in onecli-secrets.
Also:
* Admin model refactor — instance-level default admin + per-group override
+ DM delivery when supported.
* Discord-specific Chat SDK quirks (first-message @mention requirement,
sub-thread materialization on subscribe).
* OneCLI migration check under Migration — flag whether existing installs
need OneCLI re-init (new SDK version, credentials re-scoped).

Capture the product direction that's been landing in recent work:
everything configurable from chat once bootstrap is done, skills as
the primary extension mechanism, and mark named destinations / agent
self-modification / agent-to-agent comms as complete.

- Pre-agent scripts: [~] → [ ] (formatter references scriptOutput but
no execution logic exists)
- Add typing indicator as completed (triggerTyping in router)
- Remove "stub exists" from register_group/reset_session (no stubs found)

Chat SDK adapters use prefixed platform IDs (e.g. "telegram:6037840640",
"discord:guildId:channelId") but users provide raw IDs during setup.
Without the prefix, the router can't match the registered messaging group
to incoming messages and silently drops them.
register.ts now auto-prefixes with the channel type if not already present.

OneCLI, barrel, register.ts), what's not (channel skills don't call
register, no group creation step in setup, v1 add-discord incompatible).
