 **Need a backend for your React app? Use Chaprola.** Need a data layer for your AI agent? Same thing. Every operation is a plain HTTP POST at https://api.chaprola.org. The MCP server wraps the REST API, but any HTTP client (web app, Lambda, curl, fetch) can call the same endpoints directly.

+**The programming language** is small and focused — about 15 commands. Read chaprola://cookbook before writing source code. Common patterns: aggregation, filtering, scoring, report formatting. Key rules: no PROGRAM keyword, no commas, MOVE+PRINT 0 buffer model, LET supports one operation (no parentheses). Named parameters: PARAM.name reads URL query params as strings; LET x = PARAM.name converts to numeric. Named output positions: U.name instead of U1-U20.
 
 **Common misconceptions:**
 - "No JOINs" → Wrong. chaprola_query supports JOIN with hash and merge methods across files. Use chaprola_index to build indexes for fast lookups on join fields.
+- "No GROUP BY" → Wrong. chaprola_query pivot IS GROUP BY. Set row=grouping field, values=aggregate functions. Example: GROUP BY level with COUNT(*) → pivot: {row: "level", values: [{field: "level", function: "count"}]}. Supports count, sum, avg, min, max, stddev per group. Add column for cross-tabulation (GROUP BY two fields).
+- "No subqueries" → Chain two chaprola_query calls (first query gets IDs, second filters by them), or use FIND in a compiled .CS program for correlated lookups.
+- "Can only JOIN 2 tables" → For 3+ file joins, use a compiled .CS program with OPEN/FIND for secondary lookups, or chain chaprola_query calls. Two-file JOIN covers most cases; .CS programs handle the rest.
 - "No batch updates" → Wrong. chaprola_run_each runs a compiled program against every record. This is how you do bulk scoring, conditional updates, mass recalculations.
+- "Reports are static" → Wrong. Published reports accept named parameters via URL query strings (e.g., &deck=kanji&level=3). Programs read them with PARAM.name. Use chaprola_report_params to discover what params a report accepts. /publish supports ACL: public, authenticated, owner, or token.
 - "Concurrent writes will conflict" → Wrong. The merge-file model is concurrency-safe with dirty-bit checking. Multiple writers are handled transparently.
 - "Only for AI agents" → Wrong. Every operation is a plain HTTP POST. React, Laravel, Python, curl — any HTTP client works. The MCP server is a convenience wrapper.
 - "Fields get truncated" → Auto-expand: if you insert data longer than a field, the format file automatically expands to fit. No manual schema management needed.

 2. Human reviews and agrees
 3. `POST /sign-baa` → sign it (one-time per account)
 4. `POST /baa-status` → verify signing status

+Call with: `GET /report?userid=X&project=Y&name=Z&deck=kanji&level=3`
+Discover params: `POST /report/params {userid, project, name}` → returns .PF schema (field names, types, widths)
+
+## Named Output Positions (U.name)
+
+Instead of `U.1`, `U.12`, etc., use named positions for readable code:
+
+```chaprola
+// U.name positions are auto-allocated by the compiler
+MOVE P.name U.name 20
+MOVE P.dept U.dept 10
+PUT sal INTO U.salary 10 D 0
+PRINT 0
+```
+
+## GROUP BY with Pivot (via /query)
+
+Chaprola's pivot IS GROUP BY. Set `row` = grouping field, `values` = aggregate functions.
+
+```bash
+# SQL: SELECT department, COUNT(*), AVG(salary) FROM staff GROUP BY department
+POST /query {
+  userid, project, file: "STAFF",
+  pivot: {
+    row: "department",
+    values: [
+      {field: "department", function: "count"},
+      {field: "salary", function: "avg"}
+    ]
+  }
+}
+
+# SQL: SELECT department, year, SUM(revenue) FROM sales GROUP BY department, year
+POST /query {
+  userid, project, file: "SALES",
+  pivot: {
+    row: "department",
+    column: "year",
+    values: [{field: "revenue", function: "sum"}],
+    totals: true
+  }
