+## Settings, status and chat window (`bricks-buttress ui`)
+
+`bricks-buttress ui` opens a native desktop window for one config file:
+
+```bash
+bricks-buttress ui -c ./config.toml   # or: bricks-buttress ui ./config.toml
+bricks-buttress ui -c ./config.toml --tab chat   # open on a given tab: chat, status or settings
+```
+
+- **Settings** edits the TOML through a form: server, runtime defaults, discovery and endpoints, and generators (a HuggingFace search adds models, and each model shows whether it fits the memory budget). `[functions]`, `[[agents]]`, `[agents_options]` and `[env]` are edited as raw TOML. HuggingFace requests use `[runtime] huggingface_token`, else `$HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN`, else `$HF_TOKEN`.
+- **Status** is a live dashboard of the server started with this config: identity, hardware, pre-downloads, the generators and requests of each backend, and local functions.
+- **Chat** talks to the `[[agents]]` of that server (see [Chat tab](#chat-tab) below).
+
+Saving shows a diff of the file first, and an invalid value blocks it. The write is atomic (temporary file + rename), and the previous content is kept as `<config>.bak` next to the file (one backup, replaced on each save). The form rewrites the sections it owns, so comments inside them are lost; the raw sections are written back verbatim, comments included. When the file changes on disk while the window is open, the window offers to reload it or to keep your edits; it never merges them. A missing file opens as a new config from defaults, and nothing is written until you confirm **Create file**.
+
+The window never starts, stops or restarts the server, and the server reads its config only at startup: restart it to apply saved changes (the window shows the start command). The settings stay editable while the server runs.
+
+**Server detection.** The window reads `[server] port` (default `2080`) and `id` (default `buttress-<machineId>`) from the config, then asks `http://127.0.0.1:<port>` for the server id every 3 seconds:
+
+- the same `id` answers: the server runs, and the window opens on Chat when the server reports agents, else on Status;
+- another `id` answers: the port is used by another buttress server;
+- something answers HTTP without a buttress id: the port is used by another program;
+- no answer: the server is not running. The window opens on Settings, and its Status tab turns live by itself when the server appears.
+
+The id comes from `/buttress/info` when the server serves it, else from `server.id` in `/buttress/status`. The server serves `/buttress/info` only while autodiscover HTTP is on (`autodiscover = true`, or an `[autodiscover]` table without `http.enabled = false`), and the window asks for it at the default path only: with a custom `http.path` it identifies the server from `/buttress/status`. `/buttress/status` is always served, so detection works with autodiscover off too. Without `/buttress/info` the window shows no addresses or workspace binding for the server.
+
+When you save a new `[server] port` or `id` while the server runs, the window keeps showing the running server (with a "restart required" banner) until it stops, then looks for the new port and id.
+
+`--tab chat|status|settings` opens the window on that tab instead of the one detection picks.
+
+**Platform support.** The window uses gpuix (a React renderer for GPUI) and runs under Bun on `darwin-arm64`, `linux-x64`, `win32-x64` and `win32-arm64`, the platforms with gpuix prebuilt modules. Under Node.js or on another platform the command stops with a message; open `http://<host>:<port>/status` in a browser instead. The standalone binary includes the window (its installer adds gpuix's native module to the sidecar on those platforms); the npm package does not include `@fugood/buttress-ui`, and the command says so. Light or dark follows the macOS appearance; other platforms use light.
+
+### Chat tab
+
+The Chat tab is a client of the [agent endpoints](#agents-experimental), like `bricks-buttress agent`: it calls `http://127.0.0.1:<port>` of the config with the runtime token the server writes at startup, so it works on an unbound server without `allow_unauthenticated`. The sidebar groups the sessions by agent, newest first, with the first prompt as the title and a badge on forked sessions; it refreshes every 10 seconds and after each run. A run streams into the chat: the thinking (collapsed), the answer as markdown, each tool call with its arguments and result, and a footer with the stop reason, turns and tokens. Enter sends and Shift+Enter starts a new line. Stop aborts the run and the session stays continuable; Fork sends the next prompt to a copy of the session; New session (or `/new` in the composer) starts a fresh one. The window runs one prompt at a time. The server keeps no turn of a stopped or failed run in the session, so a session opened later shows such a prompt with a "No saved answer" note. The tab needs the running server: without it the tab shows the start command, and a config without `[[agents]]` shows where to add them (Settings › Advanced). When the server starts again, the tab reads the new runtime token and reloads the agents by itself. A saved file with `[[agents]]` that the running server does not have (it was started before they were saved, or from another file) shows the restart command instead of an error; agents the server would refuse to start with show that refusal, and the Advanced section warns about it before you save. An agent on a `buttress/…` model needs `[openai_compat] enabled = true` (see [Agents](#agents-experimental), Models).
+
+### Status page and `/buttress/status`
+
+The server still serves the dashboard at `/status` for any browser (phone width included). It is built from the same view model as the Status tab (see DEVELOPMENT.md) and polls `/buttress/status` every 3 seconds, and `/buttress/info` while the server serves it (the page footer names the path, or says there is none).
+
+Next to the per-backend status (`ggmlLlm`, `ggmlStt`, `ggmlTts`, `ggmlDecision`, `mlxLlm`, `onnxStt`, `onnxTts`) and `functions`, `/buttress/status` returns:
+

+`downloads` covers the startup pre-downloads (`download = true`) only; a download that starts when a client loads a model that is not cached yet is not listed.

 ## Workspace Binding (`bricks buttress`)
 
 By default, a buttress-server runs in **public mode**: any client on the LAN can connect, no auth required. To restrict access to a single BRICKS workspace and enable workspace-scoped JWT auth, **bind** the server with the `bricks buttress` CLI commands. Once bound, the server only accepts WebSocket / file-transfer requests carrying a valid access token signed by that workspace's issuer.

+
+Loads a typed decision model (System One — Julia-1, Laya, Kev, Jevling, lev,
+Clef, LiquidAI d1, pplx-decider, ...) and answers `choice` / `score` / `noul`
+questions about a state with calibrated probabilities: one forward pass per
+answer, no generated tokens. Clients reach it through the Typed Decision (GGML)
+generator; local functions through `context.buttress.decide`.
+
+The model is checked when its context loads: a GGUF with no decision metadata
+(`<arch>.decision.type`) and no `system_one` template, or one whose decision
+type this build cannot serve, fails the load with the reason. Requests on one
+generator run one at a time.
+
+**Requests** follow the TypeSafe `/v1/systemone` shape:
+`{ state, questions, images?, files? }`.
+
+- `state` is text, or a JSON object/array (given to the model as JSON text).
+- `questions` maps an id to a `choice`, `score` or `noul` question. A `noul`
+  question takes `criteria: { true?, false? }`; `lfm2-d1-omni` also takes
+  `yes` / `no`.
+- `images` carries the media: images, or audio clips for a model whose prompt
+  takes audio (`lfm2-d1-omni`). `files` is an alias; both lists are used. A
+  client session sends uploaded file names (resolved like STT audio) or data
+  URLs (`data:image/...`, `data:audio/...`); local functions send file paths
+  or data URLs; the HTTP endpoints take data URLs only. `lfm2-d1-omni` takes
+  images or one audio clip, not both.
+- With media, `state` may be `null` (or empty) to ask about the media only.
+  Only `lfm2-d1` and `lfm2-d1-omni` accept that; other models reject it. Without
+  media a `state` is required.
+
+The OpenAI-compatible `POST /oai-compat/v1/decisions` also takes `input_audio`
+content parts (`{ type: 'input_audio', input_audio: { data, format } }`, base64
+`data`, `format` `wav` or `mp3`). An input with only images or audio gets a
+placeholder state (`The attached image.`), since every model type takes one.
+
+**Sharing a model with `ggml-llm`** — a model that both generates and decides
+(Jevling, for one) can be configured as both a `ggml-llm` and a
+`ggml-decision`. By default each loads its own context. Set
+`[generators.backend] share_llm_context = true` on the decision entry to run
+its decisions on the LLM's context instead, when the two entries name the same
+weights (same `repo_id`, `revision`, `filename`, `quantization`, `url` and
+`local_path`): the model is then loaded once, with the LLM's config. This
+applies to local functions, the TypeSafe-compatible endpoint and client
+sessions (whose decision runtime options then do not apply).
+
+Sharing trades throughput for memory. A decision takes one of the LLM's
+`n_parallel` slots, and its forward passes run between the LLM's batches, so
+concurrent completions stop generating while it runs (in a CPU test, a
+128-token completion took twice as long beside six decisions; with a separate
+decision context it did not slow down). Results are not affected: the slot's
+sequence and prompt cache are cleared after each decision. Without
+`kv_unified = true` on the LLM a slot holds `n_ctx / n_parallel` tokens, which
+must fit the state plus the questions. The decision loads its own context
+anyway when it sets `rank_pooling` (it needs an embedding context), when its
+projector differs from the LLM's, or when the LLM is embedding or vocab-only.
+The server logs at startup which decision models share.

 Loads an MLX-format model on Apple Silicon. On first use, the backend creates a virtualenv at `{cache_dir}/mlx-env` and installs `mlx_lm_package`, `mlx_vlm_package`, plus `torch` and `torchvision` (required by some VLM processors). If an existing venv already has `mlx_vlm` and `torch` importable, the install step is skipped. There is no `[generators.backend]` section.

 Function files themselves are trusted input, exactly like this config file. They run in a `node:vm` context with a clean global (no ambient `process` or `require`), but that is for clarity, not isolation — a function that is handed `spawn` can do anything the server process can. Only put code you wrote (or reviewed) in the functions directory.
 
+## Agents (Experimental)
+
+Buttress can host **agents**: pi-based LLM loops that run inside the server
+process, use **local functions** (and MCP servers) as their tools, and keep
+**config-scoped sessions** on disk. The primary consumer is automation — a
+local function or daemon calls `context.agents.run(...)` to add multi-step
+reasoning to a server-side workflow; an interactive CLI exists for driving and
+inspecting the same agents.

+
+**Models.** `buttress/<repo_id>` targets a configured `[[generators]]` LLM
+(ggml/mlx) and is validated at startup; traffic flows through an in-process
+OpenAI-compat loopback (no socket). The loopback calls the server's own
+`/oai-compat/v1` routes, which exist only with `[openai_compat] enabled = true`
+(or `ENABLE_OPENAI_COMPAT_ENDPOINT=1`): an agent with a `buttress/…` model
+needs it, or every run fails with `404 NOT_FOUND`. Any other provider prefix is a pi
+built-in provider (`anthropic/…`, `openai/…`, `google/…`, …) authenticated by
+its usual environment variable (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, …) — set it via `[env]`
+or the process environment. OAuth-based logins are not supported headless.
+
+**Tools.** `tools` lists local function names explicitly. Each tool call runs
+through the normal functions executor (same lazy reload, scratch dir, spawn
+tracking, and the function's own `meta.timeout` deadline), and aborting the
+run aborts in-flight tool calls and their spawned processes. A listed function
+that is missing fails the run loudly rather than letting a headless automation
+improvise around it. MCP tools get server-qualified names
+(`mcp__github__create_issue`; characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9_]` become `_`);
+MCP servers connect lazily on the first run and fail closed unless marked
+`optional = true`.
+
+**Codemode.** `codemode = true` on an `[[agents]]` entry (default `false`) adds a
+`codemode` tool: the model writes JavaScript that runs in a QuickJS sandbox and
+calls the agent's other tools (`await tools.<name>(args)`), so it can batch calls
+and filter large results before they reach the context. MCP servers of such an
+agent may use `exposure = "codemode"` (or `"deferred"`) to keep their tools out
+of the model's tool list; scripts find them with `searchTools()`.
+`models.classify()` runs pi-ai classifier models with the agent's credentials,
+including this server's decision generators (`buttress/<ggml-decision id>`).
+Small local models may write poor scripts — prefer it with capable models.
+
+**Decisions (System One).** `decision_model` gives an agent a typed-decision
+model: `buttress/<ggml-decision id>` (as `GET /typesafe-compat/v1/models` lists
+it), or a hosted classifier such as `typesafe/jev-latest` (`TYPESAFE_API_KEY`;
+the questions and the state are then sent to TypeSafe). Unset means no
+decisions; it never falls back to the chat model.
+
+```toml
+[[agents]]
+name = "ops-assistant"
+model = "buttress/unsloth/Qwen3.5-4B-GGUF"
+tools = ["host-info"]
+decision_model = "buttress/BricksDisplay/jevling-e2b-v1-GGUF:jevling-e2b-v1-q8_0-embf16.gguf"
+decision_assistance = true   # opt-in tool prefilter (default false)
+# decision_timeout_ms = 500  # prefilter deadline; past it the run keeps every tool
+```
+
+- With a `decision_model`, the agent gets a `decision_evaluate` tool. The model
+  calls it itself with a `state` and `choice` / `score` / `bool` questions, and
+  gets calibrated probabilities back. The tool sees only that state, not the
+  conversation. Its answers are evidence for the model, not permission.
+- With `decision_assistance = true` too, a tool prefilter runs before each run.
+  It asks three yes/no questions about the request: does it need live facts
+  about the system, does it ask for an action (or approve/retry one), and does
+  it point at something not in the conversation. Only when all three are
+  clearly no (each probability < 0.35) does the run go out **without tool
+  definitions**: a shorter prompt for greetings, thanks, explanations or
+  translations. Anything else, including a timeout or an error, keeps every
+  tool. It sends the request, the nearest user/assistant text (≤ 6,000
+  characters) and the tool names; never tool arguments, results or reasoning.
+  The server logs each outcome (`tool prefilter pruned|kept …`).
+- The prefilter never adds or allows a tool; it only withholds them for one
+  run. Small decision models judge it less reliably: jevling-0.8b pruned some
+  live-fact questions that need a tool, jevling-e2b kept them (about 170 ms per
+  run on a GPU). The first run after start may time out while the model loads.
+
+**Local devices.** Set `local_devices = true` on an individual `[[agents]]` entry
+(default `false`) to add just two built-in tools, independently of local functions/MCP:
+
+- `devices_scan`: the same UDP + HTTP LAN discovery as `bricks devtools scan`,
+  including project previews found relative to the Buttress config directory.
+- `devtools`: one action-based tool for screenshots (inline images), brick tree/query,
+  tap/key/text input, a press by brick id, the open app modals and one operation on the topmost
+  one (app version >= 2.26; a generator confirm dialog is only dismissed), console capture,
+  JavaScript evaluation, storage overview, and raw CDP requests for other supported operations.
+  Reuses the CLI CDP transport and shared DevTools operations; no CLI subprocess or separate tool
+  per device/action.
+
+For example, scan with `{}` then call `devtools` with
+`{ "action": "tree", "address": "192.168.1.42", "port": 19851 }`.
+After `bricks buttress bind` and a restart, the workspace credential is injected
+server-side automatically when the device advertises the same workspace and issuer.
+The token is validated for signature, kind and expiry before use; inbound Buttress
+JWTs (`k: "ba"`) are never forwarded. Older bindings without the credential, or expired
+credentials, require rebinding and a restart. The server does not read the CLI login
+or renew tokens itself. Local previews can still use advertised inspect credentials;
+explicit `passcode` / `accessToken` arguments remain optional overrides. Calls open/close their own connection;
+avoid parallel calls or other inspectors on the same device (one CDP client at a time).
+
+**Security:** enabling this option grants network discovery and device control,
+including arbitrary JavaScript evaluation on reachable authenticated devices. It is
+not read-only or a network sandbox. Automatic authentication requires a **trusted LAN**:
+workspace/issuer hints from device info are not cryptographic peer authentication.
+The stored token is never inserted into model arguments and is redacted from text
+results/errors before truncation. Explicit credentials supplied in arguments still
+enter session transcripts, as do console output and device data; prefer automatic
+authentication and only grant this to trusted agents/callers. Disable with `local_devices = false` and
+restart Buttress. Aborting closes active CDP connections; discovery completes its
+bounded scan before returning the abort result.
+
+**Sessions.** Each run returns a `sessionId`; pass it back to continue the
+conversation, or add `fork: true` to branch it into a fresh session. Sessions
+are JSONL files under `sessions_dir`, scoped by agent name (renaming an agent
+orphans its sessions), written as the run streams — an aborted or timed-out
+run still leaves a continuable transcript. Same-session runs queue; different
+sessions run in parallel. A retention sweep prunes by age and count.
+
+**From a local function** (the primary surface):
+
+```ts
+export default async ({ service }, context) => {
+  const result = await context.agents.run('ops-assistant', {
+    prompt: `Investigate the '${service}' service and fix it if needed.`,
+    // sessionId, fork, onEvent are also accepted
+  })
+  return { conclusion: result.content, sessionId: result.sessionId }
+}
+```
+
+`context.agents.run` resolves within the caller's lifetime and deadline
+(`context.signal` aborts it); long-running agent work belongs in a **daemon**
+(no deadline) or a function with a raised `meta.timeout`. `context.agents.list()`
+and `context.agents.sessions(name)` round out the surface. Chained invocations
+(a tool function calling another agent) are capped by `agents_options.max_depth`.
+
+**HTTP endpoints** (also what the CLI uses):
+
+```
+GET  /agents                           { agents: names, details: [{ name, model, tools,
+                                       mcpServers, maxTurns, localDevices, codemode,
+                                       decisionModel }] }
+POST /agents/:name/run                 { prompt, sessionId?, fork? }; ?stream=1 for SSE
+                                       (a `session` event with the id arrives first,
+                                       then `agent` events, then `result`/`error`)
+GET  /agents/:name/sessions            newest-first summaries (id, timestamps, preview)
+GET  /agents/:name/sessions/:id        full transcript
+POST /agents/:name/sessions/:id/abort  abort the active run
+```
+
+`details` has, per agent, its `model` reference (`provider/model-id`), its local function `tools`, the names of its `mcpServers` (never their urls, commands, headers or env), `maxTurns`, `localDevices`, `codemode` and `decisionModel` (`null` when unset).
+
+The `agent` events are pi agent events made small for the wire. `message_update` carries only the delta (`event: { type, contentIndex, delta }`), `message_start` / `message_end` only the `role`, and `tool_execution_end` carries `toolCallId`, `toolName`, `isError` and `result: { text, images, truncated }`: the text blocks of the tool result joined by newlines (`null` when there are none), cut after 4,000 characters with a trailing `…` (then `truncated` is `true`), and the number of images. Image data is never streamed; the transcript has the full result. `tool_emit` (a local function's `context.emit` progress) carries `toolCallId`, `toolName`, `event` and `data`: the calls of one turn run in parallel, so the call id tells two calls of the same tool apart.
+
+Auth mirrors the functions surface, not the open inference endpoints: a bound
+server requires a workspace JWT; an **unbound server rejects remote calls**
+unless `allow_unauthenticated = true`. The server also writes an ephemeral
+internal token to `<sessions_dir>/../runtime-token` (mode 0600) at startup —
+same-host CLIs authenticate with it automatically, bound or not.
+
+**Interactive CLI**:
+
+```sh
+bricks-buttress agent -c config.toml                 # list agents
+bricks-buttress agent ops-assistant -c config.toml   # chat (streams text, thinking, tool calls)
+bricks-buttress agent ops-assistant --sessions -c config.toml
+bricks-buttress agent ops-assistant --session <id> -c config.toml   # continue
+bricks-buttress agent ops-assistant --fork <id> -c config.toml      # fork, then continue the fork
+```
+
+On a real terminal the chat runs a pi-tui interface (markdown answers, dim
+thinking, tool-call lines, Ctrl+C aborts the running turn); pipes/scripts —
+or `--plain` — get a line-based renderer with identical semantics.
+
+Like function files, agent definitions are trusted input: an agent is only as
+safe as the functions and MCP servers you hand it.
