152
+ unreadable one, and its chip renders its name with no preview, because the host wrote the object and the declared
153
+ type is a claim rather than a check. A field that arrives wrong costs that attachment, never the turn.
154
+ - **A `url` carrier is an address the *provider* fetches, and bytes beside it win.** A reader that uploads answers
155
+ `{ url }` when its storage is publicly reachable, and `{ data }` — or both — when it is not: an attachment
156
+ carrying both is read from its bytes and displayed from its address, so the chip draws a thumbnail and the model

+ still gets the picture. That precedence exists because the other order fails the one way nothing reports: the

161
+ - **An image type the provider has no block for is refused at the adaptor, not upstream.** `accepts.image` is one

+ boolean, so `AgentService.readable` passes every `image/*` through, and the built-in composer reader base64s
163
+ every `image/*` as well — an `AttachReader` answering `null` means "not mine" and falls through to it, so an app
164
+ cannot gate one either. Both shipped vision adaptors therefore match an exact set (`jpeg`, `png`, `gif`, `webp`)

191
+ every turn, so what was named three turns ago is simply not in the conversation any more. A `MessageReference`
192
+ carries the host's own `refName`, the id, a label, an optional dotted `path` into the document, and the `value`
193
+ those resolved to. **The value is never re-read on a later turn**, which is the point: re-reading rewrites what
194
+ the person was looking at when they spoke, and the usual next thing the agent does is edit the very field it was
195
+ pointed at — leaving a live reference showing the result with no record of what it was changed from.
196
+ `refName`/`refId`/`path` travel so a tool can read the current value when the answer needs it, and
197
+ `AgentService.referenced` folds the whole lot into the message text in one place, so every provider carries a
198
+ reference without either adaptor knowing the word. **The value is masked on the way in and nowhere else**: masking
199
+ needs the model class, which no wire carries, so the model a host names when it stages the reference is the whole
200
+ of the decision about what leaves the browser — name the class that actually holds the field, because a `Light`
201
+ one usually does not. **The ceiling is 20,000 characters per reference**, applied as it is staged and again on
202
+ the server; a reference is bulkier than a tool result and outlives one, riding every later turn and being the last
203
+ thing compaction folds. Persisting keeps the pointer and drops the value with a note saying so, which is a better
204
+ restored state than an attachment can offer — the pointer is still live, so the answer is to read it again.
205
+ Staging lives on the **session** (`stage` / `staged` / `unstage(key)` / `clearStaged()`), not on the composer where
206
+ staged files live, because a reference comes from whichever component drew the data rather than from the paperclip;
207
+ `unstage` is keyed on `refName/refId#path` because what orders a message's references is its text, not that list.
208
+ - **Two ways to point at data, and which one depends on who knows the value.** `<Agent.Chat reference={[…]} />`
209
+ takes one `ReferenceSource` per kind of document — `refName`, a `type`, the app's own `search`, and a `resolve` —
210
+ and the composer's `@` menu offers whole documents from them; the token is written the moment a row is picked and
211
+ the value is staged when `resolve` lands, so a slow fetch never freezes the menu and one that fails leaves a
212
+ pointer that reads as *go and read it*. For a field *inside* a document, the component drawing it calls
213
+ `useAgentReference()` — it already holds the value, so there is no round trip, and it is the only thing that
214
+ knows a rich-text field stored as `field(Any)` reads as a paragraph rather than as the editor document it is. The
215
+ hook no-ops with a warning outside a session, the same call `AgentValue.publishable` makes: a card carrying a
216
+ reference button must not cost a route its render.
217
+ - **The token in the draft is what carries a reference, and the chip only draws it.** Deleting
218
+ `@[label](mention:refName/id#path)` by hand drops the reference exactly as removing the chip does — removing the
219
+ chip removes the token — so the two can never disagree, and nothing re-derives a value from text somebody edited.
220
+ A token pasted out of an earlier message travels as a pointer with a note, which is the same shape a restored
221
+ conversation produces. Staged references are the **session's**, not the composer's, because `useAgentReference`
222
+ is called from components the composer cannot see; writing the token is the composer's half, and `refer` warns
223
+ rather than staging silently when no chat is mounted on that session — the case where a card sits outside the
224
+ `<Agent.Zone>` its chat is inside.
225
+ - **The composer draws a pointer as the name it points at, never as the token.** Where `reference` sources are
226
+ declared the input is a Lexical editor rather than a textarea, and each pointer is one atomic node — a backspace
227
+ takes the whole thing rather than a character of a label that would then name nothing. Nothing above it changes:
228
+ the node's text content *is* the `@[…](mention:…)` token, so the draft string the chat reads, the `@` query, the
229
+ chips, the wire and the server's framing all see what they always saw, and every offset the chat hands over is
230
+ an offset into that string. It is its own chunk behind the chat's, fetched only where a source was declared, and

726

727
+ ## What The Page Draws
728
+ - **The page shows the agent's work, not just the transcript.** A chat panel is closed as often as it is open, and
729
+ a form that fills itself or a tab that switches on its own is a change the user watches happen with nothing
730
+ anywhere attributing it. So **the control a call was published from is ringed** where it stands, scrolled to
731
+ first when it is off screen, and **a pointer travels to it and presses it** — both on by default, and both
732
+ driven from the tool call itself rather than from a store action, which cannot tell the agent's write from the
733
+ user's.
734
+ - **It costs an app nothing, for the same reason `data-akan-action` does.** `onChange={st.do.setTitleOnTask}` by
735
+ reference is what annotates the control, and the annotation is what makes it findable — so the fields and verbs
736
+ that matter light up with no code. An inline arrow publishes no tool, carries no annotation, and therefore
737
+ draws nothing: one wrapper silently costs three things at once.
738
+ - **For a control the framework did not render, spread `agentAttrs`** from `akanjs/ui`:
739
+ `<button {...agentAttrs(run)} onClick={run}>`, where `run` is what `st.tool(…).exec(…)` returned. It reads the
740
+ name off the callable, so there is nothing to keep in sync and no `ref` to thread — and it earns the same E2E
741
+ selector and accessibility name an `akanjs/ui` control has. Never hand-write `data-akan-*`.
742
+ - **A control that shares its handler with its siblings takes a key**: `agentAttrs(switchTab, menu)`, in the same
743
+ vocabulary the call's argument uses. One tool serves a whole tab strip or a whole list, so without it every
744
+ namesake is interchangeable in the DOM and the page can say *what* the agent did but never *where* — which the
745
+ no-guessing rule then turns into drawing nothing. `Tab.Menu` passes its `menu` key; do the same for a row verb
746
+ whose id the call names.
747
+ - **Almost nothing is waited on.** The call starts the moment the effect is handed its event; a ring that lands a
748
+ frame later costs the turn nothing, and an animation that held a call would make the agent slower for a
749
+ decoration. A turn past four scrolls stops scrolling and keeps ringing — eight scrolls across a page is motion
750
+ sickness rather than attribution. **The one exception is `navigate`**, whose press has to land before the router
751
+ replaces the tree the link is in; it is capped at 600ms and the call goes either way.
752
+ - **What it refuses to draw is the point.** A name several rows answer to rings nothing rather than guessing a row,
753
+ a call an approval or a guard turned back is never drawn at all, a tool no control carries draws nothing, and a
754
+ backgrounded tab draws nothing. A ring on the wrong element is worse than no ring: it is the screen telling the
755
+ user something untrue about what just happened. **A control the screen is not actually showing is not pointed at
756
+ either, and the pointer goes rather than travelling to it**: `checkVisibility` answers about an element alone, so
757
+ one under a modal's backdrop, inside a drawer that has slid off, or faded to nothing all pass it while being
758
+ invisible, and a pointer sent there lands on a blank patch of overlay. The test is `elementFromPoint` at the
759
+ control's own centre, taken after the reveal has settled. **`navigate` is mostly in that last class** — the router is not
760
+ an element, so it draws nothing. A bar across the top of the page was tried for it and removed: it read as
761
+ chrome the page had grown rather than as the agent doing something, which is the opposite of attribution. What
762
+ it does draw is the **link already on screen that goes where it is going**, when exactly one does and the user
763
+ can already see it: that one is an element, and the pointer presses it before the route moves. Addresses are
764
+ compared as routes (`router.routeOf`), since the locale and base-path segments are on the `<a>` and never on the
765
+ tool argument. An off-screen link is left alone — scrolling to a link and then leaving the page it is on is two
766
+ motions for one act. **Link presence is a drawing condition, never a permission one**: the agent may navigate
767
+ anywhere the user could type, and a zone that must not leave one screen drops `navigate` through `builtins`.
768
+ - **Turn it off with `visual`** on `Agent.Chat` / `Agent.Zone` — `false` for all of it, `{ cursor: false }` or
769
+ `{ reveal: false }` for one effect. The pointer is chrome (`data-agent-ui`, `aria-hidden`,
770
+ `pointer-events: none`), so `readScreen` never reads it back and `highlight` can never aim at it.
771
+ - **`ToolActivity` is the channel underneath**, a `ToolRunner` host option and an `AgentSession.onActivity`, firing
772
+ `start` / `end` around the execution alone. It is deliberately not `progress`: that one fires only for a tool
773
+ that chose to report, and a tool that says nothing about itself is exactly the one whose effect arrives
774
+ unexplained. The `start` may answer a promise, and the call waits for it — the whole of what makes drawing a
775
+ click on a link possible.
776
+ - **`AgentSession.onTurn(running)` is the other half**, and the unit the pointer's life is measured in. A model's
777
+ calls arrive with its own writing between them, seconds each, so a pointer that lived for the length of a *call*
778
+ spent every turn vanishing and coming back. Only the conversation loop reports there — `compact` runs under the
779
+ same internal flag and drives nothing on screen.
780
+ - **The pointer presses on arrival, never on departure** — a press fired as it leaves is a click on whatever it
781
+ was still over. It glides only when the hop is far enough to be worth following (a third of a second to cross
782
+ fifty pixels reads as lag, not motion), and teleports otherwise. It appears at the first control it presses,
783
+ **drifts clear of what it pressed** and waits out the gap between calls there as a spinner — a person clicks and
784
+ takes the hand away, and a spinner left sitting on the button covers the change it just caused — and fades when
785
+ the turn ends; **a turn that
786
+ drove no control draws no pointer at all**, since parking one in a corner for a turn that only answered a
787
+ question claims something that did not happen. While a reveal scrolls, it holds still — as a person's does — and
788
+ carries a chevron pointing the way the view is travelling, because stillness over a sliding page otherwise reads
789
+ as a pointer that has come loose rather than as the one doing the scrolling. The ring answers *where* and the
790
+ pointer answers *who*, which is why they are one default rather than two.
791
+ - **A form patch fans out over the fields it named.** `fill<Model>Form` is published by the form rather than by any
792
+ one control, so it rings one control per field in the arguments — resolved through the same
793
+ `data-akan-state="<model>Form.<field>"` the setter annotates — capped at five. `writeOn<Model>(path, value)`
794
+ draws nothing, for the same reason it carries no annotation: there is no control to put one on.
