 ## The MD Runtime API
 
-App code reaches the MD Runtime through the remote client. The surfaces are
-Rooms, Query, Search, Observe, Types, Room Draft, Save, History, Call, Reached, Log,
-the reported persistence answer, reauthorization, conversation, the chat draft,
-and Presentation State. Sync Status, the Service Mode, the storage-loss
-statement and the deployment facts are observations only.
-
-The host attaches each port with its reach, and every member and observation
-answers within it: a Room outside it answers as one the replica does not hold,
-Rooms lists only the Rooms reached whole, a Room reached for single Documents
-shows only those Documents and the Types of the models that govern them, and
-without conversations the conversation members, the chat draft and the
-conversation observation hold none.
-A change of the reach reaches every open observation as its new value, a query
-keeping every unchanged Document the same object.
-
-Every `observe` resolves, once its first value has arrived, to a handle:
-`current()` is the latest complete value, `subscribe(listener)` hears each later
-value whole and returns its unsubscribe, and `close()` ends the observation.
-Closing the port ends every handle and rejects every pending call and
-observation; a client that reconnects observes again.
-
-Each conversation the Provider's conversation list names is held complete in the
-browser. `conversation.list()` and `observe('conversations')` answer each with its
-Agent's identity and name, its name, created and finished times, last outcome and live
-`state`: `asking` while a question waits, `working` while a turn runs, else `idle`,
-and `started`, when the running turn began, or `null`.
-Observe one with `observe('conversation', id, { limit })`: the view
-holds its latest `limit` messages, or all of them, oldest first, its chat
-draft, and what the Provider streams for it whether or not anything views it:
-the running `turn` with its message parts and its context in use and window, the
-open questions, the process state, and the CLI's commands and options. These live
-only in memory: the message accepted under the turn's id replaces the running turn,
-and none of them is stored or searchable.
-`chatDraft.write` and `chatDraft.discard` keep what the App Creator composes;
-sending it is a Provider Action that needs the Provider reachable and is never
-queued.
-
-Each Room in Rooms lists its `attachments`, the files the Provider holds for it
-that its Documents link by the Provider's reference, ordered by `reference`,
-each with `name`, `byteLength`, `mediaType` and the Provider's own entry as
-`entry`. They are as the Provider last declared them and hold no bytes;
-open one through the Provider Action that serves it.
-
-Rooms, Query, Search, Observe, Types, Room Draft, Save, and Reached never
-touch the network.
-History and Call go to the Provider through the Adapter. A Call result whose
-effect the Provider places in a Room carries `at`, that Room and Room Version;
-`reached(room, roomVersion)` answers whether the Room's confirmed state has
-reached it, and the MD Runtime keeps refreshing that Room until it has;
-`reached(room, roomVersion, path)` answers whether the held confirmed copy of
-that document was written at a later Room Version. Each History revision
-names its author, `{ kind: 'user', id }` or `{ kind: 'site', id, name }`.
-History of a Path no current document holds answers the removed document's
-revisions with `deleted: true`, newest first; that revision is what a link to
-the Path opens. Every
-member of the
-client is asynchronous. Results are detached snapshots. Nothing in this
-surface returns the authorization, performs a request the App's code
-composes, or exposes the browser store.
-
-Read the deployment facts with `observe('deployment-facts')`. Interpret the
-opaque value using the host's contract.
-
-The in-memory Adapter at `@agentshouse/mdruntime/memory` is for tests and
-ships in no bundle.
+App code reaches the MD Runtime through the remote client. The surfaces are Rooms,
+Query, Search, Observe, Types, Room Draft, Save, History, the binary file reads, Call,
+Reached, Log, the reported persistence answer, reauthorization, conversation, the chat
+draft, and Presentation State. Sync Status, the Service Mode, the storage-loss
+statement, the deployment facts and the signed-in member are observations only.
+
+The host attaches each port with its reach, and every member and observation answers
+within it: a Room outside it answers as one the replica does not hold, Rooms lists only
+the Rooms reached whole, a Room reached for single Documents shows only those Documents
+and the Types of the models that govern them, and without conversations the conversation
+members, the chat draft and the conversation observation hold none. A change of the
+reach reaches every open observation as its new value, a query keeping unchanged
+Documents the same objects.
+
+Every `observe` resolves, once its first value has arrived, to a handle: `current()` is
+the latest complete value, `subscribe(listener)` hears each later value whole and
+returns its unsubscribe, and `close()` ends the observation. Closing the port ends every
+handle and rejects every pending call and observation; a client that reconnects observes
+again.
+
+`observe('agents')` answers every Agent a new conversation can go to, each `{ identity,
+name }`, whether or not it has a conversation yet. Each conversation the Provider's
+conversation list names is held complete in the browser. `conversation.list()` and
+`observe('conversations')` answer each with its Agent's identity and name, its name,
+created and finished times, last outcome and live `state`: `asking` while a question
+waits, `working` while a turn runs, else `idle`, and `started`, when the running turn
+began, or `null`. Observe one with `observe('conversation', id, { limit })`: the view
+holds a window of its latest `limit` messages, or all of them, oldest first, its chat
+draft, and what the Provider streams for it whether or not anything views it: the
+running `turn` with its message parts and its context in use and window, the open
+questions, the process state, and the CLI's commands and options. These live only in
+memory: the message accepted under the turn's id replaces the running turn, and none of
+them is stored or searchable. `chatDraft.write` and `chatDraft.discard` keep what the
+App Creator composes; sending it is a Provider Action that needs the Provider reachable
+and is never queued.
+
+A binary file at a Path is a binary Path entry. Query lists it by `path`, and History
+each of its revisions, with its `binaryFile` record and never its bytes: `{ state:
+'accepted', revision, path, fileRef, byteLength, mediaType, sha256 }`, or, from a Save
+until the Provider accepts it, `{ state: 'pending', localId, path, byteLength,
+mediaType, sha256 }`. Write one with a Room Draft whose only part is `file: { blob }`,
+the `Blob`'s `type` its media type: Save keeps the bytes in its Pending Change, offline
+too, and acceptance gives the record the Provider's revision. Move or remove one as a
+Document, a pending one before or after Save too, its bytes following; once its Pending
+Change has gone to the Provider, Save refuses that as `unknown-revision` until it is
+accepted. `binaryFile.read(room, path, revision?)` answers a pending record's saved
+bytes, or asks the Provider again on every read of an accepted one or of a History
+revision, a removed file's last included, keeping nothing. Text, a Record attachment or
+a conversation message may name a file by its `fileRef`; read it with
+`binaryFile.readReference({ fileRef, referrer })`, the referrer being the `referrer` the
+Provider gave beside it, or `{ room, path }` of the document whose text names it. Both
+answer `{ kind: 'binary', blob }` or a refusal or failure.
+
+Rooms, Query, Search, Observe, Types, Room Draft, Save, and Reached never touch the
+network. History, the binary file reads and Call go to the Provider through the Adapter.
+Call takes the Action names the Adapter declares; any other name answers `undeclared`
+without reaching the Provider. A Call result whose effect the Provider places in a Room
+carries `at`, that Room and Room Version; `reached(room, roomVersion)` answers whether
+the Room's confirmed state has reached it, and the MD Runtime keeps refreshing that Room
+until it has; `reached(room, roomVersion, path)` answers whether the held confirmed copy
+of that document was written at a later Room Version. Each History revision names its
+author, `{ kind: 'user', id }` or `{ kind: 'site', id, name }`. History of a Path no
+current document holds answers the removed document's revisions with `deleted: true`,
+newest first; that revision is what a link to the Path opens. Every member of the client
+is asynchronous. Results are detached snapshots. Nothing in this surface returns the
+authorization, performs a request the App's code composes, or exposes the browser store.
+
+Every refusal and failure carries `code` and `retryable`: each Call and History answer
+other than its result, a refused Save or Room Draft write, a returned Room Draft's
+reason, a Room's refusal and the Connection Refusal, and every error a member rejects
+with, beside its message. A Provider refusal carries the Provider's own `retryable`.
+Every code and every value the API answers is open: handle one you do not know by its
+`code` and `retryable`.
+
+Read the deployment facts with `observe('deployment-facts')`, an opaque value the host's
+contract interprets. `observe('member')` answers who uses the App: the User the Provider
+signed in, `{ kind: 'user', id, name }` in the shape of a change's `author`, so a
+Document whose `change.author.id` equals its `id` is that User's own. It is `null` until
+the Provider first names one, and where it names none, such as a Site. The MD Runtime
+keeps it with the Local Replicas, so it answers offline once known, and every port hears
+the next member the Provider names; signing out answers `null`, then ends the
+observation with the authorization. It is the only way App code learns who uses it.
 
 ## Local Query rules
 
-`query(q)` answers once from local state; `observe('query', q)` holds the whole
-result and hears it again only when it changes, keeping every unchanged Document
-the same object, so a component can tell what changed by identity. A query is
-data:
-
-- **Filter.** `rooms` names Room locators and defaults to every Room. `types`
-  names MD Types, and `any` names untyped Markdown Documents. `pathPrefix` is a
-  directory: `notes` keeps `notes/a.md` and not `notes2/a.md`.
+`query(q)` answers once from local state; `observe('query', q)` holds the whole result
+and hears it again only when it changes, keeping every unchanged Document the same
+object, so a component can tell what changed by identity. An answer is complete or
+pending: `{ documents, coverage }` or `{ groups, coverage }` is complete for the Rooms
+its `coverage` names, and `{ pending }` names each Room not yet acquired or prepared,
+`[{ room, awaits }]`. Never read a pending answer as empty: draw it as loading, and
+observe the query to hear the complete one. A query is data:
+
+- **Filter.** `rooms` names Room locators and defaults to every Room. `types` names MD
+  Types, and `any` names untyped Markdown Documents. `pathPrefix` is a directory:
+  `notes` keeps `notes/a.md` and not `notes2/a.md`.
 - **Fields.** Every frontmatter value is named by JSON Pointer: `/status`,
-  `/shipping/city`, `~1` for a `/` and `~0` for a `~` in a key. A segment that
-  meets a list applies to every item and a number names one item. `where` names
-  pointers, ANDs them, and nests `$and` and `$or`; a pointer through a list holds
-  when any item satisfies it. A bare value is equality; the operators are `$eq`,
-  `$ne`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$all`, `$size` and
-  `$exists`. Equality on a list asks whether it contains the value. Missing, null and empty differ:
-  `$exists: false` keeps a missing field, `null` an explicit null, `''` empty
-  text and `$size: 0` an empty list. A date compares in calendar order and never
-  with a date-time. A reference compares by the Room Path it resolves to.
-  Untyped frontmatter, and a value under `oneOf` or a conditional, is plain
-  values. There is no text containment or regular
+  `/shipping/city`, `~1` for a `/` and `~0` for a `~` in a key. A segment that meets a
+  list applies to every item and a number names one item. `where` names pointers, ANDs
+  them, and nests `$and` and `$or`; a pointer through a list holds when any item
+  satisfies it. A bare value is equality; the operators are `$eq`, `$ne`, `$in`, `$nin`,
+  `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$all`, `$size` and `$exists`. Equality on a list asks

+  compares by the Room Path it resolves to. Untyped frontmatter, and a value under
+  `oneOf` or a conditional, is plain values. There is no text containment or regular
   expression.
 - **Relations.** `hop: { field, types, where, pathPrefix }` keeps Documents whose
-  reference at pointer `field`, at any depth, points to a matching Document of the
-  same Room. `backlinks: { field, types, where, pathPrefix }` keeps Documents that a
-  matching Document of the same Room references. Each keeps a Document once.
+  reference at pointer `field`, at any depth, points to a matching Document of the same
+  Room. `backlinks: { field, types, where, pathPrefix }` keeps Documents that a matching
+  Document of the same Room references. Each keeps a Document once.
 - **Parts.** A Document query must `select`: `'all'`, or `fields`, `sections`,
-  `preamble`, `markdown`, `backlinks` and `change`, where `fields` is `'all'` or a
-  list of pointers and `sections` `'all'` or a list of names. Selected pointers
-  return the frontmatter holding only them, nested as written. A backlink names
-  the referring Path, MD Type and the pointer it came from as `field`. Room and Path always return; a Markdown
-  Document also returns its MD Type. A non-Markdown Document or binary link
-  target returns only Room and Path. An unselected part is absent. Select only
-  what a screen shows: a list that selects the Markdown hears every edit of it.
-- **Change.** `change` is `{ author, time }` of the Document's head revision as
-  the Provider last delivered it: `author` is `{ kind: 'user' | 'site', id, name }`
-  or `null` for a write the Provider made itself, and `time` is the Provider's
-  ISO 8601 change time. It is `null` where the Provider delivered no time, as at
-  a Site. An unsent edit or move keeps it, an unsent creation has none, and a
-  saved write takes the Provider's own once it is Accepted and refreshed. A
-  Room's last change is its Document with the latest `time`.
-- **Order and groups.** `orderBy` sorts by `room`, `path`, `type` or `{ field }`
-  with TanStack DB's own options, and ties end with Room, then Path. `groupBy` by
-  `room`, `type` or `{ field }` answers `{ groups: [{ key, count }] }`, counted
-  over every match and ordered by `count` or a key. A sort or group takes only a
-  pointer that holds one value. `limit` bounds the Documents or the groups.
-- **Results and errors.** A result carries no Room Version: read freshness from
-  Rooms and Sync Status. An invalid query fails with `invalid-query`,
-  `unknown-type`, `unknown-field` or `wrong-kind`, naming where, and never
-  answers an empty result in its place.

+  frontmatter holding only them, nested as written. A backlink names the referring Path,
+  MD Type and the pointer it came from as `field`. Room and Path always return; a
+  Markdown Document also returns its MD Type. A non-Markdown Document returns only Room
+  and Path, and a binary Path entry Room, Path and its `binaryFile` record, whatever is
+  selected. An unselected part is absent. Select only what a screen shows: a list that
+  selects the Markdown hears every edit of it.
+- **Change.** `change` is `{ author, time }` of the Document's head revision as the

+  `null` for a write the Provider made itself, and `time` is the Provider's ISO 8601
+  change time. It is `null` where the Provider delivered no time, as at a Site. An
+  unsent edit or move keeps it, an unsent creation has none, and a saved write takes the

+  and ordered by `count` or a key. A sort or group takes only a pointer that holds one
+  value. `limit` bounds the Documents or the groups.
+- **Results and errors.** A result carries no Room Version: read freshness from Rooms
+  and Sync Status. `coverage` names each Room read as `{ room, generation, current }`,
+  `current` false while a newer copy of that Room is being fetched, and the queued
+  changes it includes as `overlay`; a Save in a Room changes the `overlay` of every
+  query over it. An invalid query fails with the `code` `invalid-query`, `unknown-type`,
+  `unknown-field` or `wrong-kind`, naming where, and never answers an empty result in
+  its place.
 
 ## Local Search rules
 
-`search({ text, documents, conversations, limit })` answers once, by words, from
-local state, with MiniSearch at its default configuration. There is no observed
-search.
+`search({ text, documents, conversations, limit })` answers once, by words, from local
+state, with MiniSearch's defaults. There is no observed search.
 
-- **What is found.** A Document by its field values, its sections' headings and
-  text, its preamble and its Path; a message by its text. Frontmatter keys, Room
-  Drafts, chat drafts and a running turn's parts are never found. There are no phrases,
-  word forms, typo tolerance or prefix matching.

 - **Narrowing.** `documents` is a Local Query filter: `rooms`, `types`, `where`,
-  `pathPrefix`, `hop` and `backlinks`. `conversations` names conversations. Both
-  apply before `limit`, which bounds each list; without it every hit returns.
-- **Results.** `{ documents, messages }`, each ranked by `score`, which compares
-  hits of one list of one search. A Document hit names its `room`, `path` and
-  `type`, a message hit its `conversation` and `identity`, and `matches` maps each
-  matched word to the parts it matched in: `fields`, `sections`, `preamble` or
-  `path`, or `text`. A hit carries no position; mark the words in the text you
-  show. An invalid filter fails with its Local Query error.

 ## Room Draft, Save, and outcome rules
 
-The MD Runtime owns one Room Draft per Room and Path, shared by every App and
-tab. It is durable: it survives reload and navigation. A Room that Discovery
-stops listing takes its Room Drafts and its queue with it.
-Write a Room Draft with `roomDraft.write(room, path, revision, parts)`, naming
-the revision you read, or `null` when there was none, and every part it should
-now change: fields, sections and the preamble, or the whole Markdown, a
-creation, a move, or a removal. A part new to the Room Draft names its base,
-the value you showed when it was opened; the MD Runtime keeps a part's first
-base. A binary link target has a Room Draft too, for a move or a removal, with
-`null` as its base. A write or a discard from an older revision is refused as `stale` with
-the current Room Draft; read it and write again.
-
-Save takes one Room and the Room Drafts of it to save, each with its revision,
-validates locally, and on success appends one Change Batch to that Room's
-queue and removes those Room Drafts. It is refused as `stale`, as
-`changed-underneath` naming each part whose base no longer matches the visible
-state, or by a local validation rule, and then creates nothing and leaves every
-Room Draft in place. A directory move or removal is a move or removal part on
-each Document and binary link target beneath it, saved together.
-
-Outcomes follow the Provider's answer. An Accepted Change Batch stays in the
-queue, drawn over the confirmed layer, until the confirmed layer reaches the
-Room Version it was accepted at, and then leaves it. Conflicted and Rejected, an expired operation, and a change that no
-longer applies over the Room each leave the queue and return as Room Drafts on
-the Documents they changed, marked with why: the Provider's structured refusal
-code and fields as returned, not known to have applied, or withdrawn locally.
-The rest of the queue keeps synchronizing, and Sync Status requires attention
-until each returned Room Draft is saved again or discarded. A Change Batch
-keeps no outcome once it leaves the queue; `observe('queue', room)` shows each
-Pending one, and a returned Room Draft says why it returned. Transport
-failure and Provider unavailability keep work Pending and do not infer a
-rejection. A refusal the Provider marks retryable stays Pending until the reset
-it names; the MD Runtime retries the same Change Batch identity and payload and
-never infers an outcome from transport uncertainty. The MD Runtime never
-combines, reorders, or rebases.
-
-`observe('service-mode')` answers the Provider's Service
-Mode, `open` or `write-halted`. While writes are halted, Save still succeeds,
-its Change Batch waits unsent, and the queue is submitted in order once the
-Provider reopens writes. An Action is never held: a write the Provider refuses
-for the halt returns that refusal to its caller. Show the Provider as read-only
-instead of retrying.
+The MD Runtime owns one Room Draft per Room and Path, shared by every App and tab. It is
+durable: it survives reload and navigation. A Room that Discovery stops listing takes
+its Room Drafts and its queue with it. Write a Room Draft with `roomDraft.write(room,
+path, revision, parts)`, naming the revision you read, or `null` when there was none,
+and every part it should now change: fields, sections and the preamble, or the whole
+Markdown, a creation, a move, or a removal. A part new to the Room Draft names its base,
+the value you showed when it was opened; the MD Runtime keeps a part's first base; a
+binary Path entry's move or removal takes `null` as its base. A write or a discard from
+an older revision is refused as `stale` with the current Room Draft; read it and write
+again.
+
+Save takes one Room and the Room Drafts of it to save, each with its revision, validates
+locally, and on success appends one Change Batch to that Room's queue and removes those
+Room Drafts. It is refused with the `code` `stale`, `changed-underneath` naming each
+part whose base no longer matches the visible state, or a local validation rule, and
+then creates nothing and leaves every Room Draft in place. A directory move or removal
+is a move or removal part on each Document and binary Path entry beneath it, saved
+together.
+
+Outcomes follow the Provider's answer. An Accepted Change Batch stays in the queue,
+drawn over the confirmed layer, until the confirmed layer reaches the Room Version it
+was accepted at, and then leaves it. Conflicted and Rejected, an expired operation, and
+a change that no longer applies over the Room each leave the queue and return as Room
+Drafts on the Documents they changed, marked with why: the Provider's structured refusal
+code and fields as returned, not known to have applied, or withdrawn locally. The rest
+of the queue keeps synchronizing, and Sync Status requires attention until each returned
+Room Draft is saved again or discarded. A Change Batch keeps no outcome once it leaves
+the queue; `observe('queue', room)` shows each Pending one, and a returned Room Draft
+says why it returned. Transport failure and Provider unavailability keep work Pending
+and do not infer a rejection. A refusal the Provider marks retryable stays Pending until
+the reset it names; the MD Runtime retries the same Change Batch identity and payload
+and never infers an outcome from transport uncertainty. The MD Runtime never combines,
+reorders, or rebases.
+
+On a Site, every Save stays in the visitor's browser. Write grants and revisions do not
+refuse it, and its Pending Change shows in every query and across reloads until the
+browser's storage is cleared. It is never sent: `observe('queue', room)` shows it
+`local`, and Sync Status never waits on it. Once the Room changes so that it no longer
+applies, it leaves the queue and returns no Room Draft.
+
+`observe('service-mode')` answers the Provider's Service Mode, `open` or `write-halted`.
+While writes are halted, Save still succeeds, its Change Batch waits unsent, and the
+queue is submitted in order once the Provider reopens writes. An Action is never held: a
+write the Provider refuses for the halt returns that refusal to its caller. Show the
+Provider as read-only instead of retrying.
 
 ## The neutrality rule
 
-No module outside an Adapter package imports, names, or special-cases a
-Provider. MD UI and every App reach data only through the client entry.

+and every App reach data only through the client entry.
 
 ## Content-safety rules
 
-The Provider authorization belongs to the Runtime host and is never readable
-by the App's code. The App's code reaches the network only at the external
-origins its manifest declares, empty by default, and the Provider enforces
-that set. Every request to the Provider itself goes through the MD Runtime.
-Rendered Markdown never executes scripts, renders raw HTML only for the
-details and summary elements, and loads images and other resources only from
-origins the Provider's policy allows.

 ## Launch promises MD UI keeps
 
-MD UI uses semantic HTML, is fully operable from a keyboard with visible
-focus and labelled controls, and lays out from a 360 pixel wide viewport to
-a desktop. Its strings are English only, dates and numbers follow the
-browser locale, and content is never translated. Light and dark themes come
-from CSS custom properties with the browser's preference as the default and
-an App's override respected. What an App Creator's agent adds carries none
-of these promises by itself. Reading, querying and searching never wait for
-the network. Data lives only in the App Creator's browser and with the Provider.

 ## App code takes the client its host hands it and never constructs a Runtime
 
-App code takes the client its host hands it: in House,
-`connectHouseBridge().runtime` from `@agentshouse/app-bridge` resolves to the
-client House built into the page. It never constructs a Runtime or a client.
-It imports only types from `@agentshouse/mdruntime/client`, does not call
-`connectMdRuntime` or `serveMdRuntime`, and does not import the package main,
-the host entry, or the Adapter package. Hosts and tests use those entries; the
-served App does not.

-A React App may observe and save through `@agentshouse/mdruntime/react`, which
-names React as a peer dependency. `useObserve(client, topic, ...input)` takes
-the arguments of `observe` and returns the topic's current value, `undefined`
-until it arrives, re-rendering on each change; a `null` client observes
-nothing. `useSave(client)` returns `busy`, the last `outcome` or `failure`, and
-`save(room, roomDrafts)`, which writes each Path's parts onto the Room Draft
-already there, keeping the bases its parts have, or onto a new one, and saves
-them together. A refused Save leaves the Room Drafts for the App to save again
-or discard; a failure is recorded and rejects. `saveRoomDrafts(client, room,
-roomDrafts)` is that save outside a component. A react-admin or Refine App
-reads and writes its Rooms through the data providers of
-`@agentshouse/mdruntime-families`.
+App code takes the client its host hands it: in House, `houseBridge().runtime` from
+`@agentshouse/app-bridge` resolves to the client House built into the page. It imports
+only types from `@agentshouse/mdruntime/client`, never calls `connectMdRuntime` or
+`serveMdRuntime`, and never imports the package main, the host entry or the Adapter
+package, which hosts and tests use. The in-memory Adapter at
+`@agentshouse/mdruntime/memory` is for tests and ships in no bundle. A Site's page fills
+its Entry Data Contract's `{"$param": name}` arguments with `boundQuery` from
+`@agentshouse/mdruntime/entry`, as House did for its HTML.

+A React App may observe and save through `@agentshouse/mdruntime/react`, which names
+React as a peer dependency. `useObserve(client, topic, ...input)` takes the arguments of
+`observe` and returns `{ state: 'loading' }` until the topic's first value arrives, then
+`{ state: 'ready', value }`, re-rendering on each change; a `null` client observes
+nothing and stays loading. `useSave(client)` returns `busy`, the last `outcome` or
+`failure`, and `save(room, roomDrafts)`, which writes each Path's parts onto the Room
+Draft already there, keeping the bases its parts have, or onto a new one, and saves them

+
+## The Chat
+
+`@agentshouse/mdruntime/chat` holds the Chat, one data layer for every App; add React as
+a dependency in any App, with React DOM and `@assistant-ui/react`.
+
+Place the ready chat with `<Chat client={runtime} conversation={id} agent={agent}
+width="1/3" showChats />`: `conversation` opens one, `null` for a new chat, `agent` is
+the Agent a new chat goes to, `onOpen` hears each one it opens, and `width` is `full`
+(the place you give it), or `3/4`, `1/2` or `1/3` of the window docked at its right
+edge, whole on a narrow window. `showChats` adds its conversation list; or draw your own
+inside a `ChatProvider` around a `<Chat />` with no `client`. It carries its own styles;
+theme it with CSS custom properties on it or an ancestor: `--chat-background`,
+`--chat-surface`, `--chat-text`, `--chat-text-muted`, `--chat-accent`, `--chat-line`,
+`--chat-attention`, `--chat-danger`, `--chat-font`, `--chat-font-mono`,
+`--chat-font-size`, `--chat-radius` and `--chat-density` (a factor for spacing); an
+unset one keeps House's light or dark look. `mountChat(element, { client })` places it
+outside React and returns `update(props)` and `unmount()`.
+
+Mix `ChatMessageList` (`components` takes your `UserMessage` and `AssistantMessage`),
+`ChatInput` and `ChatQuestionCard` with your own design inside a `ChatProvider`, or
+compose assistant-ui's primitives there; `useChat()` gives `send`, the conversations,
+the Agents, questions to `answer`, `options` to `choose`, `commands`, the queue to
+`edit` or `unqueue`, `stop`, `kill` and outcomes; never replace its messages, sending or
+store. A secret question is never answered here; typed answers live in Presentation
+State's `typed` key: keep it, and change Presentation State only inside `inTurn(client,
+work)` from `@agentshouse/mdruntime/client`. `Markdown` draws Markdown safely.
 
 ## What an agent must never do
 
-An agent must never read the authorization, load code from a Room, call the
-Provider directly, or rebase a refused Change Batch.
