+When no environment key is configured, run `corvio auth login`. Login creates one user-level `cvu_` control-plane credential; it does not freeze the browser's current Workspace. `corvio agents connect` then idempotently creates or restores the account default Agent, grants current/future Workspace coverage under live membership/role and ACL limits, saves the one-time `cvg_` in a `0600` user credential file, verifies Codex, and starts the first-party listener. Ordinary data commands prefer that Agent identity. Use `corvio workspaces use`, `--workspace`, and `--agent` as explicit routing/reproducibility controls. Legacy Workspace-bound `cvk_` and `cvg_` keys remain supported and cannot be widened. Local sync stores only credential-free handles and revision/hash baselines in `.corvio/state.json`; Markdown lives below `corvio_docs/`, and conflicts require explicit resolution. Update checks compare npm's published `beta` tag with the API compatibility policy but never self-install. See [the Corvio CLI guide](https://corvio.ai/developers/cli) for the full command and receipt contract.
 
 The CLI rejects unknown/duplicate options and malformed integer bounds before network access. Normal API calls have a bounded timeout (`CORVIO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`, maximum ten minutes); only reads, explicit idempotency contracts, revision guards, and other owner-declared safe operations retry automatically. Document updates preflight the current revision when `--expected-revision` is omitted. Downloads, uploads, and Markdown pulls verify SHA-256 receipts before replacing local files; local writes are atomic, remote default filenames cannot escape the current directory, and Sync refuses symbolic-link traversal while checkpointing each successful push.
 
-## External Agent collaboration
+## Default Agent collaboration
 
-Create and manage an Agent with the user credential, then run it with the one-time `cvg_` secret. User and Agent credentials are deliberately separate:
+Connect the default Agent with the user credential. User and Agent credentials stay deliberately separate, and the secret is never printed or passed to Codex:
 
 ```bash
-corvio agents create \
-  --handle reviewer-a \
-  --display-name "Reviewer A" \
-  --provider codex \
-  --permissions read,comment,edit \
-  --json
-
-export CORVIO_AGENT_API_KEY='cvg_...'
-corvio agent claim --wait-seconds 30 --json
-corvio agent run --handler ./my-agent-handler --once --json
+corvio agents connect --provider codex --display-name "My Codex" --json
 ```
 
-The handler reads one Agent event JSON object from stdin and prints one JSON object:
+The connect receipt distinguishes `Configured`, `CLI Ready`, `Listening`, and `Offline`, and includes the stable Agent, Workspace scope, permission summary, and Settings link. The default listener claims durable events and runs a first-party `codex exec` adapter in a read-only temporary workspace. It sends a concrete instruction to Corvio Query, feeds the durable Query result back to Codex, replies under the Agent identity, and completes with exact event/lease/question/comment lineage. A custom handler remains available for advanced adapters:
 
 ```json
 {"instruction":"Inspect the mentioned section and correct unsupported claims.","reply":"Reviewed and updated the section."}
 ```
 
-The Runner renews the mailbox lease, sends the instruction and structured event context to Corvio Query, posts the reply under the Agent's own name/avatar, and completes only with durable Query/comment/artifact receipts. Query owns detailed document edits; the handler should decide intent, not implement a second line editor. `CORVIO_API_KEY` is not passed to the handler and Agent runtime commands never fall back to it.
+The Runner renews the mailbox lease, sends the instruction and structured event context to Corvio Query, posts the reply under the Agent's own name/avatar, and completes only with durable Query/comment/artifact receipts. Query owns detailed document edits. Neither `CORVIO_API_KEY` nor `CORVIO_AGENT_API_KEY` is passed to the provider/handler, and Agent runtime commands never fall back across principals.
 
 Runner replies are causally bound to the claimed event and are idempotent across network retries. Corvio stops repeated Agent routes
 and enforces bounded hop, chain-event, and per-comment target budgets; a stopped handoff remains visible as “Needs attention” but is
 not claimable. For a deliberate standalone Agent-to-Agent request, use `corvio agent comment ... --start-new-chain`. Manual replies
 may instead pass `--source-event-id` with `--source-event-lease-token`; source and new-chain modes must not be mixed.
 
-If a laptop sleeps, loses network, or stops the Runner, events remain pending or become reclaimable after lease expiry. Corvio does not claim to power on an offline device. Use a process supervisor for an always-on Runner; pause or revoke the Agent when it should stop receiving new mentions.
+If a laptop sleeps, loses network, or stops the Runner, events remain pending or become reclaimable after lease expiry. Corvio does not claim to power on an offline device. Re-run `agents connect` to restore the same listener, or pause/revoke the Agent in Settings when it should stop receiving new mentions. `--no-listen` is an explicit diagnostic override and returns an honest Offline receipt.
