Each contact gets a private workspace that a model can read and evolve through Textbutler's broker. A separate daemon decides when to invoke that agent and controls every outward action.

 An owner send reuses the contact's live standing grant when it covers the needed action kinds with remaining quota. Otherwise the daemon issues a tightly scoped grant: only the specific action kinds, ten-minute expiry, quota equal to the action count. The scoped grant is journaled with intent and pending state, published to the conversation, and revoked after the send when the contact is disabled. One serialized work registration covers grant issuance and dispatch together so delegated renewal and disable-revocation cannot race an in-flight send. The agent never sees this surface; it has no send authority in either direction.
 
-`replies.send` returns `submitted`, `failed`, `partial`, `cancelled`, or `indeterminate`. An indeterminate owner send blocks the next reply for that contact — automatic or owner-initiated — until the journaled intent is reconciled, exactly like an automatic send.

 ## Contact habitats
 
-When the owner enables `habitat` in `host.json`, each enrolled conversation gets an isolated habitat: a bounded, durable learning state stored in the private run journal, plus a fast reply driver and a slower background evolver. Habitat state is never shared between conversations — two threads to the same person keep separate habitats.

Habitat state is never shared between conversations; two threads with the same person keep separate habitats.
 
-The fast driver answers ordinary replies with one bounded model call instead of the multi-turn subscription loop. The default route is a Vercel AI Gateway Qwen model with reasoning disabled; a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint is the alternative route. Prompt, context, output and wall-clock budgets are fixed in code. A classified response and its composition share the same inference, and follow-up learning starts only after the transport accepts a submitted reply — never on a draft.

-Evolution runs in the background when the contact is idle: it re-reads the reply's intended purpose against a bounded window of later messages and reactions, proposes a candidate plan, replays incumbent and candidate on retained cases with blinded ordering, and asks an independent judge for per-case scores. Promotion requires follow-up evidence, cited evidence IDs, safety on every case, no regression, and a bounded improvement margin. Every step keeps replayable Algal receipts in the private journal. Plans are data, not code: they can adjust guidance, context size, reply length, humor and bounded tool flags, but never providers, accounts, recipients, permissions, disclosure, or executable programs. Explicit owner rollback restores a retained ancestor plan.
+Each contact's plan defines its guidance, humor, context size and reply length. An optional `soulCore` holds owner-authored voice, relationship context, shared context and boundaries; it is an anchor, not a model-editable personality. The learned personality only changes tone (`neutral`, `warm`, `playful` or `direct`) and formality (`casual`, `balanced` or `formal`). This follows SOUL.md's useful separation between voice and operating authority: learned text never grants tools, changes disclosure or invents a relationship. The owner can set a starting plan with `textbutler habitats configure CONTACT REVISION JSON` while automation is paused. `habitats show CONTACT` returns the current revision and plan. Configuration records the preceding plan and starts a new rollback history, so rollback cannot restore tools the owner has disabled.
 
-External effects stay host-brokered and off by default. Web search uses the gateway's server-side Exa tool; it is disabled in the default plan, admitted queries are checked against the private corpus for identifier shapes, verbatim spans and proper nouns, and results are untrusted excerpts. Meme search matches a bounded public Imgflip catalog locally, admits only known template images after byte and signature validation, and never uploads conversation text or captions. Billed calls reserve against a global daily budget in the journal before dispatch; provider-reported generation costs settle each reservation to its actual amount, and ambiguous outcomes retain the conservative reservation with no retry. The production gateway key itself also carries a provider-enforced daily quota.
+The same reflection can select useful source message IDs for durable contact memory. Trusted code resolves them to observed owner or contact messages and retains up to 64 attributed excerpts of 1 KiB each under a 96 KiB encoded-byte cap, with digests of bounded canonical observations and explicit truncation. Optional categories distinguish preferences, shared references, open loops and context; they label evidence but do not establish relationship claims. Reflection applies bounded additions, reclassifications and forgets instead of replacing the ledger. It rejects invented or ambiguous sources and evicts the oldest entries deterministically at capacity. A local lexical `memory-search` retrieves up to eight relevant notes from only that contact; the full archive is never copied into every prompt. Each submitted episode snapshots at most eight 512-byte notes and records source digests for up to 24 additional notes exposed during tool steps. These remain untrusted statements, separate from `soulCore` and existing `MEMORY.md`. The owner can inspect it with `habitats show` or clear it with `habitats memory-clear CONTACT REVISION` while paused. Clearing advances an observation cutoff and cancels pending learning, so old observations cannot immediately restore the cleared excerpts. Historical records and `MEMORY.md` remain retained; personality rollback does not rewind memory.
+
+Evolution runs in the background when the contact is idle. It reviews the reply's purpose, tool results and later messages or reactions, then proposes a candidate personality and response strategy. It compares the current and candidate plans on two retained cases with blinded ordering and asks a separate judge for scores. A candidate needs cited follow-up evidence, acceptable behavior on every case, no lower score on either case, and an average improvement of at least 0.1. Silence alone cannot improve its score. The comparison generates text only; recorded tool results describe the submitted reply, and no tools run during replay. It does not measure whether a candidate would choose better tools. Recent Algal execution records remain in the private journal for replay, with the oldest removed after 32 records per contact.
+
+The reply, reflection and judge programs use Algal's task authoring API and compile to ordinary replayable organisms. Their prompts, input and output checks, provider deadlines and one-call limits remain host-controlled. Cancellation waits for provider cleanup; an uncertain attempt is never repeated automatically.
+
+`textbutler habitats show CONTACT` includes an `operations` list. It shows eligible or waiting checkpoints, live evaluations, retained or promoted outcomes, reasons and available receipt IDs. A claimed checkpoint without a live evaluator is marked `uncertain`; that does not establish whether its provider call completed. Cancellation is shown as `requested` only while the current evaluator reports an aborted signal. It is `unknown` in other cases, including after the live observation is gone. This view reads existing state and does not authorize retries. The response reports omitted entries if its size limit requires trimming.
+
+Learning can change personality, guidance, context size, reply length and humor. The owner controls the plan's `webSearch`, `memeSearch` and `javascript` flags; evolution cannot change them. JavaScript is disabled by default. When enabled, each call uses a fresh QuickJS WebAssembly runtime, receives copied JSON only, and has no host functions, module loader, filesystem, network, timers or contact objects. Code, input, output, heap, stack and CPU are bounded; tool evidence retains only a SHA-256 code digest and a bounded JSON result. Its purpose is pure data transformation, not messaging or memory mutation. `memorySearch` is a local read-only tool scoped to this contact. Owner edits and rollback invalidate pending replies and learning for that contact. Already-started sends finish through the normal send journal. `habitats rollback CONTACT REVISION` restores a learned ancestor from the current owner configuration while automation is paused.
+
+The host runs each permitted tool. Web search uses the gateway's server-side Exa tool and is disabled in the default plan. Queries are checked against the private corpus for identifier shapes, verbatim spans and proper nouns; returned excerpts are untrusted. Meme tools are enabled in the default plan. They match a bounded public Imgflip catalog locally, accept only known template images after byte and signature validation, and never upload conversation text or captions. A submitted reply records up to two tool queries and shortened results for later review. Billed calls reserve against a global daily budget in the journal before dispatch; provider-reported generation costs settle each reservation to its actual amount, and ambiguous outcomes retain the conservative reservation with no retry. The production gateway key itself also carries a provider-enforced daily quota.

Preserve its native helper resource bundle, protected-folder startup fix, partial discovery that excludes chats without usable participant metadata, and bounded discovery diagnostics without message bodies.

Real account synchronization, recipient identity, rich actions and revocation still require a bounded owner-authorized live test; artifact admission and synthetic fixtures do not prove delivery.
 2. Use a verified Textbutler bundle with reviewed composition admission and connect an admitted native xcb build through its zero-tool generation contract. Verify the exact provider/account, both classifier and reply behavior, cancellation and uncertain-custody recovery before enabling automatic replies. The separate Claude API path retains explicit account setup and packaged-runtime admission.
 3. Publish the CLI package with its pinned desktop-foundation SDK dependency. Verify the package bytes, the verified pinned runner download, singleton behavior, and the shared autostart install/uninstall lifecycle. A source checkout or missing companion must never trigger a build at launch.
 4. Keep historical repository and published package identities as compatibility and provenance anchors. The Textbutler site is assigned to `textbutler.app`; later identity migrations must preserve immutable artifacts and existing release protections.
