+## 0.33.0: Matrix Controls And Pinned Filesystem Navigation
+
+- `Button Matrix`: Extended `telegram_button` and its plural alias from flat arrays to JSON matrices: top-level objects remain full-width rows, while nested arrays intentionally group one to three peer controls horizontally; empty, oversized, or deeper rows fail closed without changing existing object, attribute, or flat-array behavior.
+- `Filesystem Navigation`: Stabilized Generated Control Surface directory layout: parent traversal is pinned as the first full-width row outside root, available Previous/Next controls share the next compact row, ten-entry pages follow as full-width rows, one JSON-matrix action carries the surface, visible text avoids duplicate plain or monospaced inventories unless user preference overrides it, Refresh is omitted by default, and numbered fallback preserves navigation when buttons are unavailable.
+- `Command Rendering`: Replaced the `/next` empty-queue response's leaked HTML tag with native Rich Markdown so Telegram renders emphasis instead of displaying `<b>` literally.
+
 ## 0.32.0: Compact Button Arrays And Filesystem Surfaces
 
 - `Button Arrays`: Added JSON-array payloads to the canonical colon-free `telegram_button` action so one hidden comment can declare many ordered button rows; `telegram_buttons` is an exact plural alias, while existing single-object and double-quoted attribute forms remain valid.

 ### Buttons And Callbacks
 
-Assistant replies can include top-level hidden `telegram_button` comments using a JSON object, a JSON array of button objects, or compact double-quoted attributes; `telegram_buttons` is a plural alias. Prefer one array comment for multiple buttons. Buttons use `label` plus `prompt`, or the compact `value` key when both are identical. The action marker is colon-free for every payload form. 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.

 `assistant.activity` is an independent bridge-owned projection over normalized Activity events. Each process reloads the shared file-backed setting at `agent-start` before activity admission, so multi-instance mode cannot continue projecting a stale broader process-local selection. Omitted values resolve to `verbose`, while invalid values fail closed to `quiet`; `thinking` and `tools` select one technical class, while `verbose` enables both. Provider-exposed thinking uses persistent ordinary HTML containing only a standard expandable blockquote with a bounded redacted latest-text window and inline Markdown rendered as Telegram HTML. Completed executed tools use native Rich Messages: each closed `<Tool>: <status>` root details node renders snake-case names as title words while preserving an uppercase two- or three-letter repeated prefix per word, then the native disclosure chevron reveals an open-by-default `arguments` child plus closed retained `update N` and `result`/`error` child details with lowercase monospaced, marker-free summaries and JSON pre blocks; known-safe Rich rejections fall back to the previous HTML disclosure. The projection captures the exact target and transport stamp at activity admission, serializes updates, preserves tool-start order, closes coalescing across assistant/thinking boundaries, bounds retained text/update memory plus edit frames and message/tool size, disables previews and HTTP(S) auto-link recognition inside technical evidence, and never replays a possibly committed send. Session generations own independent queues, so replacement drops queued old work without waiting on an old call. Both proactive prose and active-turn final delivery wait for the admitted activity queue inside their extension-owned delivery tasks, preserving technical-before-semantic ordering without delaying Pi lifecycle completion. Settlement, replacement, disconnect, failure, or stale authority clears only local ownership; already-sent activity messages remain in chat.

+Treat a user prompt that is exactly a plausible filesystem path—including `/`—as legitimate intent to render that location through a generated filesystem surface. Resolve and freshly inspect it before display. Directory surfaces use one stable navigation layout:
+
+1. Pin `⬆️ Up` as the first full-width row whenever the current path is not filesystem root; its entire prompt is the exact parent path. Omit Up at `/`.
+2. When page traversal exists, place `⬅️ Previous` and `➡️ Next` together in one compact row immediately after Up, omitting either unavailable direction. Page traversal re-inspects the directory and preserves a fixed 10-entry page size; moving Up opens the parent at page one.
+3. Render at most 10 alphabetically ordered entry buttons as full-width rows after structural navigation. Each label uses the entry name plus a semantic folder/file emoji, and its entire prompt may be the exact target path because this Skill defines path-only prompts as navigation intent.
+4. Keep visible text to a compact path and range summary such as `📁 /home/llb · 1–10 of 52`; do not duplicate entry names as a plain or monospaced directory listing. Omit Refresh by default because resubmitting the current path already requests fresh rendering.

+For pi-telegram, emit the complete filesystem control set—Up, compact page traversal, then current-page entries—in one `telegram_button` JSON matrix rather than repeating one hidden comment per button. If prompt buttons are unavailable or fail to render, preserve the same ordering and pagination as an ordinary numbered text fallback, not a monospaced inventory, so free-form path entry remains sufficient. Show a plain or monospaced directory listing instead only when the user explicitly requests it or durable user Knowledge establishes that presentation preference.
