-*   **Extension Protection**: Extension recipes cannot override any shipped builtin.
+*   **Plugin Protection**: Plugin recipes cannot override any shipped builtin.
 *   **Shadow Protection**: User or project agents can **never** override shadow or internal agents.

 Every recipe must declare `name`, `description`, `budget`, and every other key in the required set; no display defaults are synthesized. `budget` must be a non-null YAML object containing `toolCalls`, `readReserve`, and `synthesis`, plus an optional `maximum` ceiling object such as architect's `maximum: {toolCalls: 150, readReserve: 16}`.

 The operator cap is independent and cannot be widened by a recipe. Dispatch clamps `toolCalls` to that cap and clamps `readReserve` to zero when canonical `read` is absent after tool admission. Reserve slots admit only `read`, not every read-class tool. Blocked non-read attempts do not consume admitted reserve slots, but they still count toward the operator attempt ceiling.

+menu with no timeout: use a suffix or Up/Down and Enter. Unknown suffixes leave
+the menu open and preserve the draft; Ctrl+G or Esc closes it. Ctrl+C immediately
+cancels the underlying owner. The menu does not search as you type.

+Reviews, model-scope choices, permissions and interviews own their input. They
+expose no global send, navigation, background or quit actions. Top-level Library,
+model, tree and Workers scopes can expose their owner toggle; editable fields

+
+Bracketed paste is literal and never submits, executes a slash or shell command,
+or confirms a modal. Submission needs a later deliberate key. External editing
+receives expanded paste text and preserves the draft on failure; returned text
+and recovered queues retain literal bang provenance. Input arriving during an
+asynchronous send expansion remains in the composer. Explicit release events
+are ignored before application or viewport actions. Repeats may edit, navigate
+or scroll; they cannot repeat send, toggle, cycle, confirmation, cancel or exit.
+Legacy streams cannot distinguish every held-key repeat.
+
+**Overrides and migration.** Keep overrides in `interface.keybindings`; legacy
+top-level `keybindings` remains a compatibility input. An explicit `[]` disables
+both direct access and the action's default leader entry. A default-unbound
+action may still have a leader entry. Rebinding a direct key does not change its
+fixed suffix; `leader: []` disables the menu. Unknown IDs and effective conflicts
+diagnose, and edits reload routing, components and hints together, cancelling a
+pending menu. No preferences are rewritten. Defaults move follow-up from
+Alt+Enter to Ctrl+Q and recovery from Alt+Up to Alt+Q; Alt+B/D return to editing.
+Infrequent boards use their slash commands, and interrupt/background/external
+editor/dismiss use the menu or command bridges. Explicit old choices remain.
+
+**Terminal delivery.** On stock macOS Terminal.app, Option may compose text;
+the Ctrl+G menu works without changing that setting. A temporary profile with
+Use Option as Meta enabled permits direct Alt keys. Windows Terminal/WSL2 can
+retain native Alt+Enter, Alt+arrow, clipboard, Find and zoom controls. Ctrl+J
+is the portable newline. Node raw mode normally disables flow control and
+signal generation; an SSH/mux or terminal UI can still intercept keys, so menu
+`f` is available if Ctrl+Q does not arrive. Native clipboard and terminal window
+controls remain upstream. Clio does not own keys while Yazi, an external editor
+or the host mux holds focus. Physical Windows/macOS acceptance is separate from
+Linux PTY and protocol tests; no terminal profile is installed automatically.

+first match wins (`resolveApplicationCtrlCAction`, `src/interactive/application-controller.ts`):
+

-| `Enter` | Send draft prompt (when idle) or deliver it at the next slot of the active run (when streaming). |
-| `Shift+Enter` / `Ctrl+J` | Insert a newline into multiline editor input. |
-| `Ctrl+P` / `Ctrl+N` | Browse backward / forward through prompts accepted in this interactive process; returning past the newest entry restores the unfinished draft. |
-| `Alt+Enter` | End of turn: queue the current draft for delivery when the active run settles. |
-| `Alt+I` | Interrupt: cancel the active run and deliver the current draft now. Refused while an attached dispatch runs or a permission ask is parked; the draft then queues for the next slot. |
-| `Alt+Up` | Restore queued next-slot and end-of-turn messages to the editor. |
-| `Shift+Tab` | Cycle orchestrator thinking level (`off`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`). |
-| `Alt+T` | Open the session tree navigator (`/tree`). |
-| `Alt+U` | Toggle the footer dashboard between compact (quiet 2-zone) and expanded (4-zone urgency) layouts. |
-| `Alt+L` | Open the model and targets selector. |
-| `Alt+J` / `Alt+K` | Cycle forward / backward through the configured model set (when empty, directs the operator to `/settings chat model-picker`). |
-| `Alt+W` | Toggle the Fleet Runs board (task, run ID, live telemetry, retry, and terminal history). Inside it, `Enter` opens the selected run's live worker detail, `s` steers, and `x` cancels. |
-| `Alt+E` | Toggle the files pane docked below the session in a `--with-panes` session inside herdr; the same as `/files`. Rebind through `clio-coder.files.toggle`. |
-| `Alt+B` | Open the composite session and operator task board (`/tasks`). Approved application-boundary override of editor word-back. |
-| `Alt+D` | Open the settled interview decision board (`/decisions`). Approved application-boundary override of editor word-delete. |
-| `Alt+S` / `Ctrl+Alt+B` | Convert an active attached dispatch to a detached background batch. |
-| `Alt+O` | Toggle the newest tool call or worker block between collapsed subline and full body. |
-| `Ctrl+Alt+O` / `Alt+Shift+O` | Toggle all tool calls and worker blocks between collapsed sublines and full bodies. |
-| `Alt+P` | Toggle streaming partial tool output in expanded tool bodies. |
-| `Alt+R` | Toggle the latest thinking block between hidden marker and full body. |
-| `Ctrl+Alt+R` / `Alt+Shift+R` | Toggle all thinking blocks between hidden markers and full bodies. |
-| `Alt+G` | Open the current input in an external editor. |
-| `Alt+X` | Dismiss footer notifications. |
-| `Ctrl+G`, then a letter | Portable leader fallback for Alt-letter actions. |
-| `Ctrl+C` | With no overlay: cancel stream, clear input, or press twice to exit. With an overlay open: close/cancel that overlay only. |
-| `Ctrl+D` | Exit when the editor is empty; otherwise delete the next character. It never exits from inside an overlay. |
-| `PageUp` / `PageDown` | In `/resume` and list overlays: scroll the selection by one full page (12 rows). |
-| `Esc` | With an overlay open: clear non-empty filter first, move up drill-down level, then close/cancel. With no overlay: cancel stream/operation or collapse dashboard. |
-
-When scripting Clio inside tmux, prefer `tmux send-keys C-m` for submit/confirm keys instead of the literal `Enter` token; some tmux/terminal combinations do not deliver `Enter` reliably.
+| An overlay owns input (transcript search, Library, Settings, model picker, a permission card) | Closes that overlay. It does not cancel a running turn and does not exit. Any armed shutdown is disarmed. |
+| Streaming or running a tool | Cancels the in-flight run. The turn seals its partial output in ledger order and the session stays open. |
+| Idle with text in the composer | Clears the draft. The press is consumed as an editor action, so it cannot become the hidden first half of an exit. |
+| Idle with messages queued | Protects the queue and says how to recover it with the bound dequeue key (`Alt+Q` by default). |
+| Idle, empty composer, nothing queued | Arms shutdown. A second `Ctrl+C` within 500 ms (`APPLICATION_DOUBLE_TAP_MS`) exits. |
+
+Closing a permission card without approving it is a decision, not a dismissal:
+the parked call is cancelled with `User cancelled this tool call from the
+permission confirmation prompt`, and a parked *worker* permission resolves as
+`deny`. The session itself keeps running.
+
+### Typing before Clio has finished starting
+
+Interactive startup mounts the editor before it loads its services, so the
+composer accepts input from the first frame. Type and press Enter during

-## Reasoning and Live Thinking Controls
+## Output styles
 
-Clio Coder features direct, interactive controls for model reasoning and thinking streams:
+**Alt+O** cycles **Compact → Standard → Detailed → Compact**. Standard is the default, so the first press reveals Detailed. The current style appears in the footer. Cycling applies immediately to the current session, including streaming output and history. Save a preferred startup style through **/settings interface → Output style → Apply and save globally**, or `clio-coder configure --section panes`.
 
-- **Thinking Level (`Shift+Tab`):** Allows operators to cycle through available thinking configurations. This is useful for dialing model reasoning budgets up or down in real time.
-- **Thinking Blocks Toggle (`Alt+R`):** Toggles the latest assistant thinking block between a compact, single-line folded marker and an expanded, full-body view.
-- **All Thinking (`Ctrl+Alt+R` / `Alt+Shift+R`):** Toggles every thinking block in the transcript.
-- **Tool Body Toggle (`Alt+O`) / All Tools (`Ctrl+Alt+O` / `Alt+Shift+O`):** Expand the latest tool or every tool body. The single-target key takes the newest foldable thing of either kind, so a worker card that just landed opens before the tool call above it; exactly one surface advertises the chord at a time.
-- **Live Tool Output (`Alt+P`):** Pause or resume cumulative partial tool output in expanded live tool bodies; the tool still executes.
-- **Live Streaming:** During active assistant turns, thinking increments stream live into the chat panel down a rail-prefixed segment. Reasoning totals marked `≈` are approximations from visible text; provider-reported totals are shown without that marker. Neither implies complete or cryptographically verified hidden reasoning.
-- **Thinking Replay:** When continuing a conversation, prior thinking is preserved and replayed in the history according to target-specific rules.
+| Content | Compact | Standard | Detailed |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Answers and user messages | Complete | Complete | Complete |
+| Supplied reasoning | Marker | 3 rows | 12 rows |
+| Reads and searches | Consecutive successful observations grouped | Action and outcome | 8 result rows |
+| File changes | Paths and change facts | 8 diff rows | 20 diff rows |
+| Agent shell commands | Command and outcome | Command and outcome | 12 output rows |
+| Your `!` / `!!` shell commands | 3 output rows | 6 output rows | 12 output rows |
+| Workers | Identity, execution and validation outcome | 3 summary rows | 8 summary rows and bounded tool activity |
+| Failures and refusals | Actionable reason, up to 4 rows | Actionable reason, up to 4 rows | Up to 12 rows |
+| Turn receipt | None | Completion and available duration | Usage and model-call facts |
+
+Preview budgets count terminal rows **after wrapping**, including the `/view` overflow hint, and shrink on short terminals. Reasoning previews retain the newest text when streaming stops. Detailed remains bounded: a successful `cat` or file read cannot fill the transcript with the entire file.
+
+Use **/view transcript** to select full available reasoning, tool arguments/results, local shell output, or worker details. Search the list, press Enter to inspect, and Escape to return. Offloaded tool and dispatch output remains available in the other `/view` categories; missing or truncated captured content is identified. Inspection applies secret redaction, and `!!` output remains excluded from model context.
+
+Output style changes presentation only. **Shift+Tab** still changes the model's thinking effort. It does not reveal unavailable reasoning; Clio shows only reasoning supplied by the provider. The previous Alt+R, Alt+P, and expand-all rendering shortcuts are retired. `/output` now explains how to reach Alt+O and Settings. Existing `minimal`, `default`, and `verbose` preferences map to `compact`, `standard`, and `detailed` without rewriting other preferences.
+
+The footer owns live activity. Transcript actions have static running or outcome markers and update in place. Background workers add a count without replacing the main agent's current phase; a completed worker cannot clear a sibling's active state. Approval and user-input waits do not spin. Failed and cancelled turns retain their actual outcome, and an elapsed wait is described as silence rather than proof that a process is stuck. A worker's successful execution remains separate from its validation result.
 
 ## TUI Surface Refinements
 
 The Clio TUI has been enhanced to maximize readability, operational focus, and command discovery:
 
-- **Adaptive Welcome Launchpad:** Before the first prompt, renders a compact launchpad with bold CAPS section tags (`WORKSPACE`, `ROUTE`, `NEXT`), honest readiness indicators, and context-sensitive next actions. Upon first prompt submission, it deliberately collapses into a single-line session header (`>C_ Clio Coder vX.Y.Z · <workspace · git branch> · <target·model · ready> · ctx ready · type a task`) so the conversation transcript owns the viewport.
-- **Unmistakable Clio Composer:** The input editor features an explicit left section tag reflecting current prompt semantics (`MESSAGE` while idle, `FOLLOW-UP` while Clio runs, and orange `STEER` when Enter steers in-flight execution). Includes the dim placeholder `Ask Clio…  / for commands` and lower-rail hint `Enter send · Shift+Enter newline` at wider widths.
-- **Progressively Disclosed Footer:** The compact footer uses a quiet two-zone status layout that suppresses idle decoration (`tools none`, `◌ idle`, and default-output tags). Line 1 displays workspace location, git branch/dirty state, and active phase only when meaningful; Line 2 displays the context window gauge and best current/last-turn receipt. `Alt+U` toggles the expanded dashboard, which orders information by operational urgency (Activity, Context, Session, Workspace).
-- **Footer Notification Degradation Ladder:** The footer notification badge reserves the severity head (`glyph count noun`) and `[Alt+X] dismiss` tail first, allocating remaining width to an ellipsized message body. Under narrow terminal constraints, it degrades cleanly down the ladder without clipping action keys.
+- **Welcome header:** Before your first prompt the header is three rows and no box: a masthead (`>C_ Clio Coder v0.4.7` on the left, `~/iowarp/clio-coder · main*` on the right), the route (`✓ dynamo · qwen3.8-27b`), and one next step (`describe a task · Enter to send · / for commands`). The next step names whatever actually blocks work first: no route or model sends you to `/model`, an unavailable or degraded route to `/settings targets`, a missing or stale `CLIO-CODER.md` to `/context init` or `/context refresh`. A healthy route shows no latency; a failing one shows its reason. Your first submit collapses the header to one live row, `>C_ Clio Coder v0.4.7 · dynamo · qwen3.8-27b · ~/iowarp/clio-coder · main*`, which follows a mid-session model change. `/new` returns to the three-row form; `/resume`, `/tree`, `/fork`, `/handoff` and `--continue` open collapsed.
