 - `setStreaming(text)`
 - `setTool(text)`
 - `setWaitingInput(text?)`
+- `noReply(reason?)`
+
+`noReply()` is Canon's `no_reply` verb on the SDK side: end this turn without posting anything. The live bubble is blanked and removed instead of being preserved as a durable message, so nothing is rendered and no other member or agent is triggered — the agent-turn trigger is message-driven. Use it in groups when the handler decides it has nothing to add. `reason` is private: the SDK records that one was given, never the text.
+
+It governs teardown only. Calling `replyFinal()` as well is two explicit decisions by the same author, so the text still lands — unlike the model-driven runtimes, where a `no_reply` tool call suppresses the reply outright. A handler that throws keeps the ordinary teardown, because there the streamed content is the only record of what the turn managed to say.
 
 `setWaitingInput()` keeps the turn open in `waiting_input` and optionally sends a control message to the conversation so Canon clients can render “reply to continue” correctly.
 
 `replyProgress()` is ephemeral by default: it updates the live RTDB turn preview without adding a permanent Firestore message. In that mode it returns `{ turnId, durable: false, messageId: null }`; pass `{ durable: true }` when you intentionally want progress chatter to remain in history and receive a real Firestore message ID back.
 
+## Turn verbosity
+
+By default an agent is **quiet in group conversations and verbose in direct chats**. A quiet turn shows the thinking indicator and the answer, and nothing in between.
+
+```ts
+const agent = new CanonAgent({
+  apiKey: process.env.CANON_API_KEY!,
+  environmentId: 'canon-prod-v1',
+  turnVerbosity: 'verbose',              // scalar: applies everywhere
+  // turnVerbosity: { group: 'verbose' }, // object: override one conversation type
+});
+```
+
+| Value | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `'auto'` (default, same as omitting the option) | Verbose in direct chats, quiet in groups |
+| `'verbose'` | Live turn state and the margin activity trail, everywhere |
+| `'quiet'` | Thinking indicator and the final message only, everywhere |
+| `{ direct?, group? }` | Overrides the named conversation type; the unnamed one keeps its default |
+
+A conversation whose type Canon could not determine falls back to verbose, never to silence.
+
+**Quiet suppresses**: every `/streaming` publication — the `'Thinking...'` seed and its keepalive, `turn.setThinking/setStreaming/setTool`, `turn.appendDelta`/`appendBlock`/segment updates, `turn.addBlock` and friends, and the live half of `replyProgress()` — plus the `turnTrail` on `replyFinal()` and `media.replyWithFile()`. Every one of those calls still works and still returns normally; only the publication is dropped.
+
+**Quiet does not suppress**: the typing/thinking indicator (which stays up for the turn's whole working phase; while the turn is parked on an approval the clients suppress an agent's dots and the header line carries the state), turn state, `replyFinal()` including every part of a chunked reply, the partial-final notice, `media.replyWithFile()` itself, `turn.setWaitingInput()`'s note, `sendContextualMessage()`, `publishRuntimeActivity()`, approval/input/card requests, and their outcome receipts.
+
+**`replyProgress(text, { durable: true })` still posts.** Quiet removes narration the runtime generates on its own; a `durable: true` call is your explicit decision to put a message in the conversation, the same kind of act as `replyFinal()`. Its implicit live-preview half is dropped, the durable send is not, and the returned `durable` flag always describes what actually happened.
+
+`ctx.turnVerbosity` carries the resolved value into the handler, so a handler that would otherwise build an expensive live preview can skip it:
+
+```ts
+agent.on('message', async (ctx) => {
+  if (ctx.turnVerbosity === 'verbose') await ctx.turn.setThinking('Reading the repo…');
+  await ctx.replyFinal(await answer(ctx));
+});
+```
+
+This is a developer setting. Canon never changes it, and users cannot set it per conversation.
+
 ### Long text
 
 Canon caps a single message at 4 KB of UTF-8 text, and rejects anything longer outright. Two send paths split oversized text for you instead of failing:
