-# Features
-- **Minimal**: No BlueBubble, no webhooks, no extra dependencies
-- **Self-managing**: Turn the agent into whatever you need. He builds his own tools without pre-built assumptions
-- **Transparent**: tool calls and reasoning are sent to your iMessage chat, so you can see exactly what it's doing and why
-- **iMessage Integration**: Responds to DMs, SMS, and group chats; identifies who sent each message; understands quoted/reply-to messages
-- **Persistent Reminders**: Schedule one-time messages without per-reminder cron jobs; reminders survive restarts and retry transient failures
-- **Web UI**: browse chat history, toggle replies on/off per chat, live updates — disable with WEB_ENABLED=false and let the agent build your own web UI
+## Features
 
-# Get Started
+- **Minimal**: No BlueBubbles or webhook setup. Runs directly on your Mac alongside Messages.app.
+- **Messages**: DMs, SMS, and group chats, with sender identification and reply context.
+- **Self-managing**: The agent builds its own tools, with native web search, page fetch, and a [conversation-owned browser](docs/browser.md).
+- **Web UI**: Chat history, native task state, scheduled jobs with their latest ten executions, logs, memory, and configuration.
+- **Memory**: Searchable, traceable records; corrections preserve history. See [structured memory](docs/memory.md).
 
-> ⚠️ **Security note**
-> - Replies are **off** for all chats by default (`blacklist: ["*"]`) — only explicitly whitelisted chats get a response
-> - The agent runs with Full Disk Access and can read/write your filesystem as part of its tool use
-> - The web UI has no authentication and is accessible to anyone on your local network; set `WEB_ENABLED=false` if that's a concern
+## Quick Start
 
-Prerequisites: macOS with Messages.app, Full Disk Access for the terminal, [Pi Coding Agent](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/tree/main/packages/coding-agent#quick-start) authenticated
+> Just point your Pi coding agent at this README and ask it to set up pi-imessage.
+
+Prerequisites: macOS with Messages.app, Node.js 22.22.2 or newer, Python 3
+(shared memory writer), Full Disk Access for the terminal, and an authenticated
+[Pi Coding Agent](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/tree/main/packages/coding-agent#quick-start).
 
 ```bash
 npm install -g @kingcrab/pi-imessage
 
 pi-imessage             # run in foreground
-pi-imessage install     # install as launchd service (auto-start on boot, restart on crash)
+pi-imessage install     # write a launchd job; loading it is a separate operator action
 ```
 
-# Usage
-
-## Web UI
-
-Available at `http://localhost:7750` (configurable via `WEB_HOST` and `WEB_PORT`).
-
-- Chat history with live updates
-- Logs (tail -f style)
-- Memory (global & per-chat)
-
-P.S. Disable with `WEB_ENABLED=false` and let the agent build your own web UI
-
-## Structured Memory
-
-Durable memories are stored as namespaced JSONL records under
-`WORKING_DIR/skills/file-memory/namespaces/`. Each record includes a stable ID,
-creation timestamp, factual event date when known, source, kind, subjects,
-importance, confidence, and status. This keeps every memory traceable without
-inventing dates for older facts.
-
-The agent uses typed tools to load complete namespaces, search for specific
-records, and append validated memories. Corrections append a new record that
-supersedes the old ID, preserving an auditable history instead of silently
-rewriting it. Legacy global and per-chat `MEMORY.md` files remain read-only
-archives. See [the structured memory flow](docs/structured-memory-sequence.md)
-for migration, retrieval, and write behavior.
-
-## API
-
-The agent is aware of these endpoints via its system prompt and can use them as tools (e.g., scheduling a cron job that calls `/prompt`).
-
-| Endpoint | Description | Example |
-|---|---|---|
-| `POST /send` | Send text and/or a local file attachment to a chat (bypasses the agent) | `curl -X POST localhost:7750/send -d '{"chatGuid": "iMessage;-;+11234567890", "text": "hello"}'`<br>→ `{"ok": true}` |
-| `POST /prompt` | Feed a prompt to the agent asynchronously; replies are sent to the chat when ready | `curl -X POST localhost:7750/prompt -d '{"chatGuid": "iMessage;-;+11234567890", "prompt": "say hello"}'`<br>→ `{"ok": true}` |
-| `POST /reminders` | Schedule a persistent one-time reminder; `scheduledAt` requires an explicit timezone | `curl -X POST localhost:7750/reminders -d '{"chatGuid":"iMessage;-;+11234567890","text":"check the oven","scheduledAt":"2026-08-08T21:30:00+08:00"}'` |
-| `GET /reminders` | List reminders; optionally filter with `?status=pending` | `curl 'localhost:7750/reminders?status=pending'` |
-| `DELETE /reminders/:id` | Cancel a pending reminder | `curl -X DELETE localhost:7750/reminders/<id>` |
-| `GET /health/model` | Make a live request to the configured default AI model; returns HTTP 200 when healthy or 503 on failure | `curl localhost:7750/health/model`<br>→ `{"ok":true,"model":"openai/gpt-5","latencyMs":842,"checkedAt":"..."}` |
+Enable replies for your chats by adding their GUIDs to the [settings allowlist](#settings).
+For installation and service operations, see [ops/README.md](ops/README.md).
 
 ## Commands
 
-Send these as iMessage to interact with the bot:
+Send `/help` in a chat to list commands: `/new`, `/status`, `/thinking`,
+`/verbose`, `/compact`, `/run`, `/stop` and `/reload`.
 
-| Command | Description | Example Reply |
-|---|---|---|
-| `/help` | List available slash commands | `Commands:`<br>`/help — list commands` |
-| `/new` | Reset the session, starting a fresh conversation | `✓ New session started` |
-| `/status` | Show session stats: tokens, context, model | `💬 3 msgs - ↑7.2k ↓505 1.1%/128k`<br>`🤖 anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 • 💭 minimal` |
-| `/compact` | Compress session context to free up token space | `✓ Compacted: 15.2k → 2.1k tokens` |
-| `/stop` | Steer the agent to stop after current tool calls finish, then process the next queued message | |
-| `/reload` | Reload models and clear all sessions | `✓ Models reloaded` |
+## Configuration
 
-## Settings (`WORKING_DIR/settings.json`)
+### Settings
 
-All fields are optional.
+Edit `WORKING_DIR/settings.json`. All fields are optional.
 
 ```json
 {

 }
 ```
 
-**Chat allowlist** controls which chats receive replies (messages are always logged). By default, replies are **off** for all chats (`blacklist: ["*"]`) — opt in specific chats via the web UI or by adding their guid to `whitelist`. Resolution priority: `blacklist[guid]` > `whitelist[guid]` > `blacklist["*"]` > `whitelist["*"]`.
+### Model policy
 
-**Rich text** is optional and disabled by default. When enabled, pi-imessage uses a UI automation fallback to open the target conversation, paste an RTF payload, and send it. Currently this is intended for direct-message iMessage chats. With `markdown: true`, pi-imessage interprets `**bold**` spans and renders them as actual bold text in Messages.
+Optional `settings.json` fields, applied at startup and `/reload`:
 
-## Environment Variables
+```json
+{
+  "modelPolicy": {
+    "fallback": { "provider": "your-provider", "modelId": "your-model" },
+    "codexServiceTier": "default"
+  }
+}
+```
 
-| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `WEB_ENABLED` | no | `true` | Set to `false` to disable the built-in web UI |
-| `WEB_HOST` | no | `localhost` | Web UI host |
-| `WEB_PORT` | no | `7750` | Web UI port |
-| `WORKING_DIR` | no | `~/.pi/imessage` | Workspace directory |
-| `AGENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` | no | `120000` | Abort only after this much continuous agent inactivity; model and tool events reset the timer |
-| `AGENT_MAX_PROMPT_DURATION_MS` | no | `1800000` | Absolute ceiling for one prompt, independent of activity |
+Without a fallback, an unavailable default fails explicitly. `codexServiceTier`
+accepts `default` or `priority`; priority may have a different cost.
 
-# Development
+### Environment Variables
 
-```bash
-npm run check        # typecheck + lint (run after code changes)
-npm test             # run tests
-```
+All variables are optional.
 
-# How It Works
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `WEB_ENABLED` | `true` | Set to `false` to disable the built-in web UI |
+| `WEB_HOST` | `localhost` | Web UI host |

+| `WORKING_DIR` | `~/.pi/imessage` | Workspace directory |
 
+### Web and API
+
+See the [HTTP API](docs/api.md) for read-only state and model health checks.
+The agent sends files and extra messages with `send_message`.

+
+Each chat has its own conversation, persisted under `WORKING_DIR/durable/`.
+Durable resumes pending work after a crash. Replies are sent at most once;
+uncertain sends are flagged, never resent. Context is compacted silently every
+six hours and near the model's limit.
+
+## Layout
+
+This repository is the framework; `WORKING_DIR` is one deployment's data and code.
+Startup, `/reload` and the assistant's `reload_extensions` load the extensions.
+See [workspace extensions](docs/workspace-extensions.md),
+[ADR 0036](docs/adr/0036-workspace-policy-and-neutral-service-id.md) and
+[ADR 0042](docs/adr/0042-background-schedules-and-workspace-extensions.md).
