-Melaya Assistant — persistent runner-side host.
-================================================
-
-A LONG-LIVED process the runner spawns once per assistant chat session and keeps
-alive across turns (unlike a pipeline run, which is one fire-and-forget
-subprocess). It boots a single ReActAgent whose model runs on THIS machine
-(claude_code / codex read the user's local OAuth off disk; ollama / lmstudio hit
-localhost), then reads one user message per line on stdin, runs a turn, and
-streams structured events on stdout. The agent's memory persists in-process, so
-multi-turn conversation state (and the local model session) survives between
-turns — that is the whole reason this host exists.
-
-Protocol
---------
-stdin  (one JSON object per line):   {"turnId": "...", "message": "..."}
-stdout (one JSON per line, prefixed): MELASSIST {"turnId","kind",...}
-  kind ∈ ready | round | tool | delta | text | done | error
-
-Tenant safety: the toolkit is the read-only `melaya_agent_*` tools, which POST to
-the server's assistant-tool bridge authed by MELAYA_API_KEY — every query is
-tenant-gated SERVER-side, so this host gains no data authority beyond the user's
-own mk_ key. Identity is never taken from tool args.

+Melaya Assistant — persistent runner-side host.
+================================================
+
+A LONG-LIVED process the runner spawns once per assistant chat session and keeps
+alive across turns (unlike a pipeline run, which is one fire-and-forget
+subprocess). It boots a single ReActAgent whose model runs on THIS machine
+(claude_code / codex read the user's local OAuth off disk; ollama / lmstudio hit
+localhost), then reads one user message per line on stdin, runs a turn, and
+streams structured events on stdout. The agent's memory persists in-process, so
+multi-turn conversation state (and the local model session) survives between
+turns — that is the whole reason this host exists.
+
+Protocol
+--------
+stdin  (one JSON object per line):   {"turnId": "...", "message": "..."}
+stdout (one JSON per line, prefixed): MELASSIST {"turnId","kind",...}
+  kind ∈ ready | round | tool | delta | text | done | error
+
+Tenant safety: the toolkit is the read-only `melaya_agent_*` tools, which POST to
+the server's assistant-tool bridge authed by MELAYA_API_KEY — every query is
+tenant-gated SERVER-side, so this host gains no data authority beyond the user's
+own mk_ key. Identity is never taken from tool args.
