 Use `notis login --paste-code` for the HTTPS copy-paste fallback on a remote machine.
 
+## Release channels
+
+`@latest` is the only tag worth documenting, for beta accounts too.
+
+The npm tag has to be chosen before the CLI starts, and the CLI only learns which Notis it talks to once it reads the profile — so no single install command can be right for both environments on its own. Instead the deployment answers the question: `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/cli` reports its channel, `notis login` pins it on the profile, and any later run that finds itself on the wrong build hands the whole invocation to the right one before it does anything else.
+
+- `notis doctor` reports `release_channel`, `cli_version`, and a `channel` check.
+- `--api-base <url>` decides the build for that one run, so a one-off call against another environment uses the matching CLI.
+- `./dev.sh` profiles and source checkouts are never re-executed: whatever you started stays in control.
+- `NOTIS_CLI_AUTO_CHANNEL=0` disables the hand-off; `doctor` then reports the mismatch instead of correcting it.
+
 ## Profiles
 
 A profile is one account paired with one API endpoint. Every profile keeps its own credential, so switching between them never signs any of them out.

+## Hand-over
+
+Give the branch you are on to a Notis agent, which continues the work in a git worktree on the Notis cloud computer. `--route` picks the agent: the hosted Notis agent, or the user's own Codex/Claude Code in the cloud sandbox or on their Mac. `--branch-mode same` makes the agent commit onto your branch; the default cuts a new branch from it.
+
+### `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover start <task>`
+
+Hand the current branch to a Notis agent and keep working.
+
+When to use: Use this when you want Notis to continue work on the branch you are on -- long refactors, test fixing, or anything that should keep running after you close the laptop. Pick the agent with --route.
+
+Options:
+- `--branch-mode <mode>` — same = the agent commits onto your branch. new = the agent cuts a new branch from it (default).
+- `--route <target>` — Which agent runs it: notis (hosted, default), codex_cloud, claude_cloud, codex_local, claude_local, or auto.
+- `--repo <slug>` — Configured repository slug on the cloud computer, when you know it.
+- `--no-wip` — Refuse on a dirty tree instead of committing the changes first.
+
+Examples:
+- `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover start "fix the failing auth tests"`
+- `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover start "finish the migration" --branch-mode same --route codex_cloud`
+- `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover start "add integration tests" --route claude_cloud`
+- `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover start "review and clean up this branch" --route claude_local`
+
+### `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover status`
+
+Show the coding-agent threads Notis is running for you.
+
+When to use: Use this after a hand-over to see whether the agent is still working.
+
+Options:
+- `--provider <provider>` — Filter to codex or claude_code.
+- `--refresh` — Force a live refresh instead of cached state.
+
+Examples:
+- `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover status`
+- `npx --package @notis_ai/cli@latest -- notis handover status --provider codex --refresh`
