 - Instance thread names are provisioner-authored identity metadata, not model-authored output. Fresh Threaded Mode threads select one of five curated compact 4-6 letter Latin names for the assigned slot letter using provisioning timestamp entropy, then create the Telegram thread with that thread name immediately. The title is the thread name itself, not `{slot} {threadName}` or `{slot} — {threadName}`. Do not register or reintroduce an agent-facing thread rename tool; removing the extra rename prompt/tool turn is an intentional simplicity constraint. Thread names must mirror into terminal status, live diagnostics, and `[telegram|thread:name]` through one target-aware current-instance identity resolver. Registered follower/leader metadata takes precedence over a stale shared record for the same target, with the record used only as fallback; do not hide a valid baked/custom thread name behind old slot-prefix validation. A follower that later becomes leader keeps its existing name; leadership changes are transport role changes, not identity resets.
 - Telegram private-chat Threaded Mode treats `All` as an aggregate/control surface, not a durable `General` thread or process launcher, and leader activation proactively creates or reuses its private-DM thread. When the owner writes in an unknown thread, the leader reclaims and routes the first one only if it lacks an active binding; later unknown threads remain intact and receive an in-thread chooser to reroute the captured prompt or restore a stale binding. Destructive cleanup requires explicit confirmation through `thread-reconciler`; another Pi instance still requires a manually started process followed by `/telegram-connect`. Without Threaded Mode, process the message through classic routing.
 - Telegram extension work should not hold Pi's core agent lifecycle hostage once Pi has produced the semantic result. For Telegram-originated turns, final Telegram delivery, attachment upload, and transport cleanup are extension-owned side effects; schedule them off the critical `agent_end` path when ordering can still be preserved, record failures as runtime events, and keep dispatch of the next Telegram turn behind the delivery task when needed to avoid interleaving previews/finals. Treat a low-level error `agent_end` as retryable while its Telegram turn remains active; only a later successful `agent_end` or Pi's `agent_settled` boundary may finalize and release that turn. Public activity handlers run through isolated asynchronous per-handler queues; lifecycle hooks enqueue normalized events and never await consumer work. Proactive push defaults enabled and requires explicit `assistant.proactivePush: false` to opt out. While enabled, core delivery projects each completed Pi-visible assistant text block from local/autonomous work once and in order; bind admitted blocks to the exact target, profile/token transport stamp, direct leader epoch or follower registration generation, and session generation. Token deltas, hidden reasoning, tool traffic, stale authority, and Telegram-owned turns never enter that projection.
-- Core thinking/tool visibility is controlled by file-backed `assistant.activity: "quiet" | "thinking" | "tools" | "verbose"`; every Pi instance reloads the shared config at `agent-start` before admitting activity so process-local cache cannot broaden the selected class. It defaults to `verbose` when absent and remains separate from proactive public prose and assistant Markdown: provider-exposed thinking uses durable ordinary HTML with a standard expandable blockquote, while completed executed tools use native Rich Messages with separate closed details and JSON pre blocks for arguments, retained updates, and result/error evidence. Thinking uses the sentence-case `🧠  Thinking: <level>` header with the current Pi thinking level instead of a generic lifecycle status and renders inline Markdown as Telegram HTML inside its expandable blockquote; tools use sentence-case `🛠  <Tool>: <status>` headers, `verbose` enables both, and every activity send/edit disables Telegram link previews while technical evidence also neutralizes HTTP(S) auto-link detection as a client-safe fallback. Keep it quiet by default, exact-target/transport-generation fenced, start-order preserving, boundary-aware, memory/transport bounded, and non-blocking; final delivery waits for admitted technical activity only inside the extension-owned background task, and session replacement abandons queued old-generation work without waiting on old transport. Read legacy `assistant.activityVerbosity` only when `assistant.activity` is absent and remove it on the next Settings write. Never invent unavailable provider-private thinking or replay a possibly committed technical message.

 - Telegram runtime state should be treated as event-driven reconciliation of extension assumptions against observable Telegram signals, not as a full Telegram bot read-model and not as a reason to query Telegram on every action. Keep a local assumption model for bot identity/capabilities, pairing assumptions, thread support, known thread lifecycle, bound instance targets, reservations, and transport health. Invalidate and reconcile the relevant slice on meaningful events: startup/reload, lifecycle service messages, stale-send/API errors, setup/pairing changes, follower register/prune, explicit status/debug requests, and bounded low-frequency leader health ticks. `lib/sync.ts` owns sync slices, observation intake, invalidation triggers, status/debug freshness, and reconciliation scheduling; it must not promise complete bot-state mirroring because Bot API lacks a complete topic listing surface. `lib/thread-reconciler.ts` owns pure Threaded Mode lifecycle planning and should become the only policy authority for destructive thread cleanup decisions. `threads` owns current Telegram UI thread/tab binding primitives and thread-name helpers mapped to Bot API topic transport, `status` renders projections, and `index.ts` only wires ports. `tmp/telegram/logs.jsonl` is a session-local redacted runtime evidence stream for race debugging and resets on extension start / runtime scope changes; it is diagnostics only, not routing/provisioning authority. `state.json` should be an observable/debug snapshot aligned with `/telegram-status` (extension runtime, bot capabilities including `bot.lastSlot`, runtime role, live roster projection, reservations, diagnostics), not routing/provisioning authority. Because every process on one Telegram profile shares this file, only the active transport lock owner may persist it; followers read current state and gain write authority only after promotion. Status-only writes must refresh disk-backed bindings before serialization so a stale loaded snapshot cannot erase newer leader state. Live bus/runtime state is authoritative; file reservations and fresh capability observations may be startup hints/collision guards only; stale snapshots must re-probe before suppressing bus/topic behavior. Do not persist stale/offline/failed thread target history as source of truth.
 - Thread bindings are bidirectional. From the Pi-instance side, an instance knows and preserves its target, slot, thread name, lifecycle state, and direct-delivery defaults. From the Telegram-client/bot side, the bridge observes thread creation/close/reopen/stale-send signals and reconciles them into instance binding state. Lifecycle transitions that affect operator understanding should be Telegram-visible when a live transport remains: every successful follower registration/re-registration gets a compact connected notice in the assigned thread, while heartbeat pruning stays silent because it is only liveness suspicion. These notices should use the instance thread name when known and fall back to the slot letter only while the thread is still unnamed. New unknown or command-created temporary threads receive the complete forward plus replace/restore control set and remain preserved until the user chooses one. Successful forward deletes the chooser and temporary thread; successful replace/restore always deletes the chooser, rebinds the temporary thread, and deletes only the replaced old thread. Any destructive cleanup must go through `thread-reconciler`. Unknown `forum_topic_created` service events are observations, not destructive cleanup proof.
 - The multi-instance bus uses private bot DMs with Telegram private-chat Threaded Mode enabled for the bot. No supergroup, group, or forum configuration is needed; the thread chat is always the private chat with the paired owner. Threaded capability checks must use bot/private-chat evidence such as `getMe.has_topics_enabled`, incoming `message_thread_id`, and topic operation success/failure; do not use group chat metadata as the control-plane truth for Telegram private-chat Threaded Mode.

-## P0 — Rich Tool Activity And Discoverable Defaults Release
+## P0 — Compact Activity Tree Hotfix
 
-Context: Thinking keeps its current persistent HTML expandable quote. Tool activity moves to native Rich Messages so arguments, retained updates, and result/error evidence become separate collapsed details containing compact JSON code blocks. New installations should discover context and activity features through `assistant.timeInjection: "interval"` and `assistant.activity: "verbose"` defaults without migrating explicit existing settings.
+Context: `0.26.0` proved the Rich tool-details direction but retained one standalone line for every thinking header and every tool header. The compact default removes the thinking header entirely and makes each tool call itself the closed root details node containing nested Arguments/Update/Result/Error details.
 
 Open work:
 
-- [x] Render completed tool batches through `sendRichMessage` / `editMessageText.rich_message` with one sentence-case tool header followed by separate closed `Arguments`, `Update N`, and `Result`/`Error` details containing `json` pre blocks.
-- [x] Preserve tool ordering, coalescing, redaction, truncation, dropped-update evidence, transport/authority fencing, message bounds, final-answer ordering, and commit-unknown no-replay behavior; use the existing HTML representation only for a known-safe Rich capability rejection.
-- [x] Change absent Activity mode to `verbose` and absent time injection mode to `interval` with the existing one-hour interval fallback; preserve every explicit stored value without migration.
-- [x] Update tests, README, technical docs, durable project rules, changelog, and package metadata for the final behavior.

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.26.1: Compact Activity Trees
+
+- `Thinking Density`: Removed the standalone `🧠  Thinking: <level>` line from provider-exposed thinking so each message consists only of its recognizable expandable HTML quote. Impact: persistent reasoning saves one chat row without changing its bounded, redacted, progressively edited evidence.
+- `Tool Density`: Moved each `🛠  <Tool>: <status>` label into a closed native Rich root details node whose children are the existing closed `Arguments`, retained `Update N`, and `Result`/`Error` JSON details. Impact: every collapsed tool costs one row, while opening it reveals the same logically separated evidence tree.
+- `Safety`: Preserved multi-tool coalescing, message bounds, redaction, truncation, ordering, target/transport fencing, known-safe HTML fallback, and no replay after ambiguous sends. Impact: the denser presentation changes layout rather than delivery guarantees.
+
 ## 0.26.0: Rich Tool Activity
 
 - `Tool Presentation`: Moved completed tool batches from one ordinary HTML expandable quote to native Rich Messages. Each sentence-case tool header now precedes separate closed `Arguments`, retained `Update N`, and `Result`/`Error` details containing compact JSON code blocks; dropped-update counts remain visible in the first retained update summary. Thinking keeps its distinct persistent HTML expandable quote. Impact: technical history becomes easier to scan, tool phases no longer compete inside one large JSON disclosure, and thinking remains optimized for prose.

 Telegram prompt guidance is context- and authority-aware. Only an exact direct owner or live registered follower exposes the three pi-telegram model tools, their active-tool metadata, and the compact local bridge suffix. Disconnect or authority loss removes those surfaces for subsequent requests without touching foreign tools; reconnect/recovery restores only the pi-telegram subset that was active before suspension, including across same-process reload. Telegram-originated turns receive a compact pointer to `telegram_help` plus dynamic prompt blocks such as `[voice] delivery: automatic voice`; full voice/button/direct-delivery/Threaded Mode syntax stays in the help tool rather than every system prompt.

Consecutive tools coalesce by editing one message only while target, activity, generation, ordering boundary, tool count, and serialized-size bounds still match. Assistant or thinking content closes the batch. A non-idempotent send with unknown commit state is never replayed; failed or ambiguous edits start no fallback send.
 
 Thinking retains only a bounded latest-text window, tool updates retain only a bounded latest-entry window, and a session reset abandons queued old-generation work without making the replacement session wait for an old transport call. Final-answer delivery waits for the admitted activity queue inside the extension-owned background delivery task, so completed technical evidence cannot be overtaken by the semantic answer and Pi lifecycle completion remains non-blocking.
