+contract: durable requirements, decisions, rejected approaches, interfaces, compiled knowledge.
+working: current facts, artifacts, validation, failures, domain state, unresolved work, exact continuation.
+response: previous complete answer; runtime replaces it on commit.
+
+TOOLS: Use normal Pi tools without a state_flow comment or intermediate patch. Continue until one terminal response; the current trajectory stays visible.
+
+TERMINAL (no tool): If memory is unchanged, output only the complete answer. Otherwise:
+<!-- state_flow {"contract":{...},"working":{...}} -->
+
+Complete user-facing answer
+
+With a patch: one blank separator, no fence or duplicate; never put literal --> in JSON. Runtime strips the comment. Without one: preserve memory. Always store the non-empty answer as response.
+
+PATCH: contract and working are mandatory flexible objects. Recursive object merge; {} preserves; arrays/primitives replace; nested key null deletes. Materialized null is forbidden, including in arrays.
+
+HANDOFF + MEMORY OPTIMIZATION: Assume this trajectory disappears after commit. Preserve all decision-relevant knowledge needed to continue without rereading, rediscovery, re-derivation, or repeated failures. Keep active constraints, unresolved questions, consequential negative results, and the next discriminating check. Distinguish observations, user requirements, decisions, and hypotheses; never promote assistant conclusions to user requirements. For consequential facts, keep useful source locators and validity conditions, not metadata on every value. Retain rejection reasons and reconsideration conditions. Reconcile contradictions using evidence or user clarification; unsupported claims must not overwrite established constraints or observations. Put durable knowledge in contract and current execution state in working. Audit both as minimal sufficient memory: merge fragments, replace history with conclusions, and delete stale, completed, redundant, or low-value keys; retain decision-relevant hypotheses as uncertain while preserving active requirements, decisions, interfaces, evidence, and unresolved work. Omit raw sources, logs, tool output, reasoning, and vague narration. Never invent memory changes.
+
+REALITY CHECK: working records last observations, not a live workspace. Revalidate volatile facts before consequential actions. After interruption or branch navigation, inspect relevant external effects before repeating operations; failed state commits and restored memory do not undo tool effects. If evidence is unavailable, retain uncertainty and the next check; never infer success or absence of effects from missing memory. Revalidation is targeted, not routine Skill rereading.
+
+SKILL COMPILATION: After a successful SKILL.md read, compile its future-useful rules, applicability, syntax, routing, constraints, and failures at contract.compiled_skills[exact read path] before commit. Use a compact non-empty shape, not raw Skill text. A matching compilation is authoritative: MUST NOT reread for recall or routine activation. Reread only for an uncovered detail, incomplete compilation, concrete source-change evidence, contradiction/failure reconciliation, or explicit user request. Mere possibility of change is not evidence. Refresh after a justified reread.

 - Queue lane/kind admission is explicit. Dispatch waits for active-turn, pending-dispatch, control, compaction, `ctx.isIdle()`, and Pi pending-message guards; a dispatched prompt stays queued until `agent_start` consumes it. Each prompt is one object with one active lane and no reserved return slot. Normal and Priority are separate FIFO lanes: crossing lanes removes it from the source and appends it at the destination tail, while Keep/Skip and same-category emoji changes preserve lane position. Complete reaction sets independently derive Priority from recognized positive emoji and Skip from recognized negative emoji; both may coexist, suppressed turns retain durable receipts while waiting, and Skip settles them only when the prompt reaches dispatch before dropping it without inference. Suppressed turns remain visible at a struck-through physical ordinal without contributing to executable queue counters, while graceful session shutdown discards all remaining queue authority before clearing memory.
 - `/stop`, `/abort`, `/next`, and `/continue` respectively reset+abort, abort while preserving queue, force the next turn, and enqueue a control-lane continuation. Abort-history folding applies only to Telegram-owned active turns.
 - Telegram extension side effects must not hold Pi's core lifecycle hostage after semantic completion. Preserve ordering in extension-owned background work, record failures, and fence target/profile/transport/session authority.
-- Complete assistant/guest model answers use Telegram-native Rich Markdown. Harness-owned menus, status, diagnostics, thinking, and tool evidence remain explicit HTML/plain or their documented native surface. Preserve literal code and structurally safe chunking; never split invalid markup.
+- Complete assistant/guest model answers use Telegram-native Rich Markdown. Harness-owned menus, status, diagnostics, thinking, and tool evidence remain explicit HTML/plain or their documented native surface. Before Telegram preview or final delivery, strip every assistant-authored HTML comment regardless of Markdown position while keeping action activation top-level-only; a comment-only result sends no text message. Preserve literal code outside comments and structurally safe chunking; never split invalid markup.
 - `preview` owns streaming lifecycle only, not assistant rendering. Finalization waits for active preview flushes and must not issue pre/post-final draft-clear calls that create transient Telegram draft UI.
 - Native `sendChatAction(typing)` is the automatic activity signal for unsettled agent and compaction work while Telegram transport is authorized. Extension-owned blocking UI prompts pause it and completion resumes it while either work owner remains active. Do not invent extra in-chat work indicators or emit activity for startup/connect/reload/recovery alone.
 - Public activity handlers and connected companion delivery are asynchronous, target-bound, generation-fenced surfaces. Connected companion projection has no independent opt-out: disconnect or authority loss is its boundary. Token deltas, hidden reasoning, unknown sources, and stale authority never enter public projection.

 - [ ] `Environment-backed bot tokens`: Let each profile store an exact Pi-native `$ENV_VAR` or `${ENV_VAR}` reference in `telegram.json` instead of copying the resolved secret; preserve the originating alias when `/telegram-setup` prefills from a supported environment variable, resolve only at validation/activation boundaries, fail closed with a redacted named-variable diagnostic when unresolved, retain literal-token compatibility, and cover named profiles, reload, persistence, status, and secret-redaction paths.
 - [ ] [`Inference bypass Generative Apps`](./docs/generative-apps.md): Let the agent install and bind one managed JavaScript app owner for a generated-prompt prefix so deterministic controls can bypass model inference without creating another button grammar.

+- `Thread Restore`: Retains validated source and chooser identity when callback messages omit thread metadata, hides Restore in threadless/All choosers and explains how to supply a destination, rejects conflicting Restore instead of forwarding to the old target, and treats confirmed already-deleted chooser cleanup as complete without redispatch.
+- `Target Safety`: Rechecks cleanup ownership before close/delete and local retirement across restore, disconnect, and provisioning paths; a rebound target is not deleted, invalidated, or reserved by obsolete cleanup. Follower restore rechecks registration generation and expected target after IPC, store-load, and persistence waits.
+- `Stale Delivery`: Direct replies, menus, activity, edits, and multipart sends capture exact stale-target authority; guarded invalidation rechecks generation, profile, binding, and snapshot revision at the synchronous durable commit without replaying failed sends or redirecting accepted work.

One adaptive matrix may mix named JSON objects with positional CML cells; separators are optional and one trailing comma is tolerated, including inside JSON objects.

CML uses `{value}`, `{label|prompt}`, `{|prompt}`, or the corresponding three-atom form with `selected_style` set to `primary`, `success`, or `danger`; omitting the first atom leaves the existing prompt-as-label fallback in charge, while the optional style still requires a non-empty prompt. It trims atom boundaries, preserves non-structural text literally, and decodes only `\|`, `\}`, and `\\`. Prefer one matrix comment for multiple buttons. Buttons use `label` plus `prompt`, or the compact `value` key when both are identical. The bridge strips the comments from visible text, renders inline buttons, and routes callbacks back into Pi as queued prompts or extension-owned callback actions. Button-only replies receive the standard `☑️ **Choose an option:**` heading as automatic visible fallback text. Once a generated prompt button is accepted, only that exact button switches to its optional `selected_style` (`primary` blue by default, `success` green, or `danger` red) without altering its agent-authored label or emoji; every style still queues the selected prompt.

 - Destructive follower thread teardown belongs to confirmed `/telegram-disconnect`, graceful Pi quit, or confirmed reconciliation actions, not generic heartbeat pruning. Manual disconnect retains its destructive confirmation and clears restart ownership; quit deletes the tab without prompting when Thread cleanup is enabled (default) but preserves the owner slot independently so a same-directory restart can reclaim leadership. Confirmed leader/follower teardown first persists an exact target/runtime-generation cleanup intent. The active leader attempts deletion under its current epoch; interruption preserves the intent so that leader or a successor can replay it under current authority, and confirmed deletion removes the binding plus intent in the same persisted state transition. If the graceful request is missed, stale heartbeat plus OS-confirmed absence of the exact registered PID may authorize the same cleanup while enabled; this action serializes ahead of replacement registration. Disabled cleanup, silence, heartbeat expiry alone, IPC/auth failure, and live or unknown process liveness remain non-destructive. Incomplete cleanup preserves durable intent for retry. A promoted leader uses its current owned leader epoch even when the inherited record still carries a historical `manual-follower` owner label.
 - Explicit stale/deleted/offline observations invalidate reuse. Process absence affects reuse only through the enabled, exact-PID confirmed-dead cleanup path.

+- Direct replies, menus, activity, target-aware edits, and multipart transport capture the request target and local authority before sending. Exact typed HTTP 400 stale-thread evidence stages invalidation of only the matching unchanged binding. The thread store rechecks leader/session/profile authority, binding identity, snapshot revisions, and destination path at the synchronous owner-fenced rename; no staged invalidation enters the live projection before durable commit, and a rejected commit preserves newer state.
+- Shared recovery marks topic, target-binding, and transport freshness suspect and schedules a diagnostic snapshot. Accepted local work and its active-turn target remain unchanged; a failed send is not replayed or redirected, and recovery does not create a replacement thread or probe on every send.

+Operator-confirmed client flow: send ordinary text from the **All** tab; Telegram creates a new thread containing that text. Choose **Replace/restore thread…** and the existing Pi instance. Successful leader Restore binds and renames the new thread, dispatches the original message to the same Pi, and removes the old thread. The resulting prompt's thread-name label reflects the restored destination, not proof that the user typed in the old thread. A threadless `/start` is not equivalent to this ordinary-text flow.
+
+The bounded pending reroute owns its original source target and the returned chooser message ID independently from remaining messages. Authenticated callbacks must match the stored chat/chooser and any supplied thread field. `InaccessibleMessage` may omit the thread field; a missing callback message, unknown chooser, conflicting identity, threadless source, or already-owned Restore source fails closed rather than forwarding to the old target. Restart or expiry without that pending identity does not authorize reconstruction from callback data alone. When the original input itself has no thread ID (including an All-tab `/start`), the chooser offers routing only, not Restore; old Restore callbacks explain that a plain message must first be sent in the destination thread. Client tab selection is not inferred from recent topic creation or from the chosen Pi instance.
+
+After dispatch, cleanup retries retain source identity but never redispatch accepted messages. Confirmed typed HTTP 400 `message to delete not found` completes message deletion idempotently; permission and transient failures remain errors. Reroute cleanup rechecks current bindings, live targets, reservations, and pending provisions before close, before delete, and on retry. Other destructive cleanup origins use the shared synchronous target-protection policy: explicit retirement permits only its unchanged departing binding, persisted shutdown intent permits only its original pre-intent binding, and reservation/provision cleanup permits only the corresponding unchanged claim. Protection checks also guard post-API local invalidation, reservation, and disconnect completion. A newly protected target cancels remaining cleanup. Already-issued remote operations cannot be undone by a later local ownership change; checks prevent subsequent effects, not retroactive cancellation.
+
+Follower Restore requires exact registration generation and expected old target both before and after awaited IPC acknowledgement/store loading. Completion also rechecks the restored target and generation after persistence before publishing status or acknowledging success. A mismatched, replaced, or same-target request cannot overwrite the current registration.

 `pi-telegram` maps hidden assistant-authored HTML comments to Telegram-native outbound actions.
 
-Normal Telegram-turn replies are intentionally prompt-driven: the agent writes Markdown plus small hidden top-level blocks, and the bridge performs transport after `agent_end`. `telegram_voice` and `telegram_button` are not Pi tools. For local/TUI-initiated work where the user explicitly asks to send something to Telegram, the bridge also exposes direct tools: `telegram_message` for Markdown text and `telegram_attach` for file delivery when no Telegram turn is active. In classic mode, direct local/TUI delivery requires this Pi instance to own `/telegram-connect`; in Threaded Mode, a registered follower may route direct-tool sends through the leader-owned bus transport. During an active Telegram turn, `telegram_message` rejects an implicit or same-turn target so ordinary final delivery remains the sole current-target response. Its `thread` argument accepts a case-insensitive live thread name or numeric id: the bridge preflights one live owner, sends visibly, then admits the text as a source-attributed turn in that instance. Unknown, ambiguous, same-target, offline, and cross-chat destinations fail before sending. Existing `chat_id` plus `thread_id` targeting stays compatible; registered followers use authenticated, generation-fenced bus routing. Outbound behavior combines assistant prompt markup, text command-template handlers, registered voice synthesis providers, generated artifacts, direct Telegram tools, and reply delivery. Direct `telegram_message` text is planned through the same reply markup path, so embedded top-level `telegram_button` comments become buttons attached to that text message.

 Text handlers use the portable [Command Template Standard](./command-templates.md). Programmatic outbound handlers use `registerTelegramOutboundHandler(kind, handler)`. Voice replies can use configured command-template handlers or the provider API described in [Voice Integration](./voice.md).

-The bridge strips the comment from Telegram text. On `agent_end`, it maps each `telegram_voice` action to a provider call, generates one file per action, and sends each file as an independent Telegram-native voice message. Prefer `{text}`, `{text|lang}`, or `{text|lang|rate}`. Use JSON when multiline content, named fields, or escaping earns the extra syntax; equivalent JSON `text` or `value` supplies the spoken payload, with explicit `text` taking precedence. Each comment creates one voice artifact, so voice cells do not accept button-style matrix composition. The opening marker must start at column zero on a top-level line outside fenced code, quotes, lists, and indented examples; otherwise it remains literal Markdown.

 ## Buttons Markup
 
@@ -157,7 +157,7 @@ Rules:
 
 - The payload may be a JSON object, adaptive JSON/CML matrix, or positional [Compact Matrix Literal](./compact-matrix-literal.md). Named JSON objects and positional cells may coexist in one matrix or row. Commas are optional between completed elements, and one trailing comma before a closing delimiter is tolerated; JSON object validation likewise tolerates trailing commas but does not invent missing values, property names, or internal separators. CML uses `{value}`, `{label|prompt}`, `{|prompt}`, or the corresponding three-atom form with `selected_style`; the optional third atom requires a non-empty prompt and accepts only `primary`, `success`, or `danger`. It trims every atom, preserves non-structural printable text, and decodes only `\|`, `\}`, and `\\`.
 - Use `label` plus `prompt`, or the compact `value` key when both strings are identical. If only `label`, only `prompt`, one-field `{value}`, or prompt-only `{|prompt}` is present, that string supplies both visible label and queued prompt. An explicit counterpart takes precedence over `value`. Use JSON with `\n` escapes for multiline prompts.

+- The opening marker must start at column zero on a top-level line outside fenced code, quotes, lists, and indented examples; otherwise it does not activate a button action and is still removed from the Telegram surface.
 - Prefer one matrix comment for multiple buttons. Each top-level JSON object or CML cell becomes one full-width inline-keyboard row in source order; a nested row groups one or more buttons horizontally. The parser imposes no artificial per-row width cap; empty rows, malformed cells, unknown/trailing CML escapes, a third unescaped CML separator, empty prompt/style atoms, empty one-atom cells, unknown selected styles, and deeper nesting are rejected atomically. Only the first label position may be empty in a two- or three-atom button cell. Generated surfaces default to five columns and expand to six through eight only for short position-bearing labels. Repeated singular comments remain valid.
 - Button actions are stored in memory with short `callback_data`; Telegram never sees the full prompt in the button payload.
 - After Telegram accepts a generated button callback as a queued prompt, the bridge changes that exact button to its configured selection style without changing agent-authored text or emoji. Set `selected_style` to `primary` (blue), `success` (green), or `danger` (red); omitted or invalid values fall back to `primary`. The style never suppresses queue admission. Other choices stay visually unchanged and remain available; the callback acknowledgement remains the fallback on clients that do not render button styles.

 ### Tools and assistant-authored actions
 
+Every assistant-authored HTML comment is transport-private on Telegram: previews and final replies remove `<!-- … -->` blocks regardless of Markdown nesting or which extension owns the comment, while only recognized top-level column-zero comments can activate voice or buttons. Unclosed comment tails are withheld and a comment-only result sends no text message; Pi's terminal transcript remains unchanged.
+
 - `telegram_bind({ app, script, argument? } | { app, method, argument? })` installs and initializes one canonical managed Generative App module under `<agent-dir>/genapps/<app>/<app>.mjs`, or invokes one named method on an installed app. Installation rejects silent replacement and noncanonical/symlink sources. Methods receive immutable JSON state, one optional JSON argument, cancellation, revision, and a bounded non-shell process port; successful state changes commit to `state.json` plus `states.jsonl`, while output-only methods leave history unchanged. After one-shot `tgbtn` resolution, a complete `app::method` or `app::method(<strict JSON>)` prompt invokes the installed app before Pi queue admission and sends its planned Markdown/buttons directly; malformed or failed bound actions never fall back to a model prompt. Direct app-output buttons retain hidden source revisions and stale actions fail before method execution; sibling processes serialize transitions and recover dead lock owners. Bound actions send a fresh message by default and retain the clicked button's selected state on its prior surface. A result may opt into `viewMode: "edit"` to replace the callback message and keyboard in place, with one fresh-send fallback only for that explicit action. Agent-mediated initial-surface revisions, process-birth lock proof, automatic refresh, and voice output remain open.
 - `telegram_attach(paths, chat_id?, thread_id?, caption?)` is the stable artifact delivery tool for generated files. During Telegram turns it queues files for the active reply; with `assistant.rendering: "rich"`, exactly one PNG/JPEG, MP4, or MP3 artifact plus non-empty final Markdown can become one reply-anchored Rich Message. HTML mode, multiple/unsupported files, Guest Mode, and voice outputs retain their established paths. Outside Telegram turns the tool sends files directly to the paired/default chat, the registered follower's assigned thread, or an explicit `chat_id` plus optional `thread_id` when this Pi instance owns `/telegram-connect` or is registered with the multi-instance bus.
 - `telegram_message(text, chat_id?, thread_id?)` sends a direct Telegram Markdown message when this Pi instance owns `/telegram-connect` or is registered with the multi-instance bus. During an active Telegram turn, omitted targeting and an explicit target equal to that turn are rejected so the ordinary final-reply path remains the sole current-target response; an explicit different chat/thread target remains allowed for requested cross-target delivery. Outside active turns, paired/default local/TUI delivery remains unchanged. Top-level `telegram_button` comments inside `text` are parsed with the same planner used for normal replies and attached to that message; buttons are never standalone Telegram messages.
