-## Control plane — bind a monitoring proxy (human oversight of a fleet)
-
-This is **separate** from the per-identity wake Monitor. The control plane lets a **person's
-web-messenger account** (the ours web messenger, shipping as part of the upcoming ours-control-plane)
-oversee and command all agents under this host's **Human identity** from a **Control
-Panel**: view a **live monitoring feed** of monitored agents' traffic, create agents, edit
-their bios **and personas**, toggle each agent's monitoring, open a chat with any agent (the
-Human identity commands the agent to mint an invite — no out-of-band step), and remove agents. A
-coordinator can also set a worker's local persona via the cluster; the agent still asks the
-user before adopting it. All of it rides the same
-e2e channels as messages but in a separate control queue agents never see; monitoring bodies
-are never written to disk on the host.
-
-**Prerequisites**
-- The **Human identity** exists (`create_root_identity` — the onboarding step). The
-  proxy binds to the Human identity.
-- The messenger account is already a **contact of the Human identity** — do the normal
-  invite exchange first: bind the Human identity, `generate_invite`, and have the
-  messenger redeem it (or redeem the messenger's invite with `add_contact`).
-
-**Binding ceremony (6-digit code, out-of-band)**
-1. "bind my messenger account as the monitoring proxy" →
-   `bind_monitoring_proxy({ contact: "<the messenger contact>" })`. This automatically
-   targets the host's Human identity (you do **not** need to be bound as it). It returns a
-   **6-digit code** (valid 5 minutes, 3 attempts) and shows it **here**.
-2. **Read the code to the user.** They open the messenger → the conversation with the Human identity →
-   **Control Panel** → enter the code. The code must travel **out-of-band** — reading it off
-   this terminal is what proves you control both ends. **Never send the code over ours.**
-3. On success the contact becomes the proxy. Confirm with `get_monitoring_status`.
-
-**Per-agent monitoring is controller-gated.** Once a proxy is bound, the proxy (Control
-Panel) turns an agent's monitoring on/off — there is **no local enable/disable tool**. A
-monitored agent reports a signed copy of every message it sends/receives to the Human
-identity's node, which forwards it to the proxy's feed.
-
-**Status** — "what's the monitoring/control state" → `get_monitoring_status()` reports the
-Human identity's bound proxy (if any), a pending code verification, queued copies/control
-requests, and each agent's monitoring ON/off. Works whenever the Human identity exists.
+## Control plane — human oversight of a fleet
+
+**NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS RELEASE. Do not offer it, and do not call a tool for it.**
+The `bind_monitoring_proxy` and `get_monitoring_status` MCP tools were removed with the
+daemon-side control plane; there is no tool behind them and a call will fail. Nothing has
+replaced them yet.
+
+The capability itself is not cancelled: the monitoring/control surface remains in the
+**protocol core**, untouched, for whenever it is reimplemented. What is gone is this
+plugin's exposure of it as MCP tools.
 
+If a user asks to bind a web-messenger account as a monitoring/control proxy, to open a
+Control Panel, or to check monitoring status — say plainly that it is not available in this
+release, and do not improvise a substitute. Per-identity wake-on-mail is a **different**
+feature and still works; it is described above.

-(loopback — there is no host knob, by design). Configuration is resolved
-**env var > `~/.ours/config.json` > built-in default**:
-
-| Setting | Env | config.json | Default |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| HTTP port | `OURS_PORT` | `port` | `3050` |
-| State dir | `OURS_STATE_DIR` | `stateDir` | `~/.ours` |

-| GC interval (ms) | `OURS_GC_INTERVAL_MS` | `gcIntervalMs` | `3600000` |
-| Auto-start daemon | `OURS_AUTOSTART` | `autoStart` | `false` |
-
-**The port is shared.** The connector dials `127.0.0.1:<OURS_PORT>` and the
-daemon binds the same port — both read `OURS_PORT`/`config.json`. Change it
-**once in shared config**, never per-side, or the connector won't find the daemon.
-
-**Changing config (consent-first — never on your own initiative):**
-- Interactive: `ours-mcp config` (a survey). It needs a TTY, so ask the **user**
-  to run it via `!ours-mcp config` — you cannot drive the survey yourself.
-- Scripted: edit `~/.ours/config.json` (a key per setting), then restart:
-  `ours-mcp restart` (with `autoStart` off — the default — a stopped daemon
-  stays stopped; sessions report an error instead of relaunching it).
-
-Both methods edit the same `~/.ours/config.json` file — the interactive survey is just guided editing.
-
-**Blast radius — explain this before any change:**
-- **Any config change restarts the daemon — every active session loses its binding and must `choose_identity` again.** Only change config when no other session is mid-task.
-- **Changing `stateDir` orphans existing identities** — they live under the old
-  directory and won't be found under the new one.
-
-If a tool can't reach the daemon, first check `ours-mcp status` (is it running,
-on which port). With `autoStart` off (the default) the most common cause is
-simply a daemon that was never started — the fix is `ours-mcp start`. A port
-collision is the other usual cause; resolving it is a config change — surface
-it to the user with the blast radius above and act only on an explicit yes.

-Safest guided setup: ask the user to run `ours-install` in their own terminal.
-Its API-key prompt is hidden, it writes `config.json` atomically with mode
-`0600`, and it restores the prior file if the daemon cannot reload the change.
-Never request a provider key in chat, pass one through an agent tool/command
-argument, print the `stt` config block, or test with a real key. Environment-only
-operators can set `OURS_STT_PROVIDER`, `OURS_STT_API_KEY`, `OURS_STT_MODEL`,
-`OURS_STT_BASE_URL`, and `OURS_STT_LANGUAGE`; environment values override the
-file field-by-field.
-
-Provider requirements:
-
-- `openai-compatible`: key + explicit `/v1` base URL + model.
-- `elevenlabs`: key + model; base URL is optional.
-- `deepgram`: key; model/base URL are optional provider defaults.
-- `custom`: key + `stt.custom.url`; model is required when the custom template
-  references it.
-
-Troubleshooting:
-
-- “not ready” names the missing field. Do not ask the user to reveal its value.
-- If a file edit appears ineffective, check the reported key source and
-  `OURS_STT_*`; an environment override may shadow the file.
-- Config changes require a daemon restart and active sessions may need to bind
-  their identity again.
-- Incoming voice is recognized strictly as an `audio/*` MIME carrying
-  `x-ours-kind=voice-message`, or the legacy `voice-message-…` audio filename.
-  Generic audio and connector-specific filename guesses remain ordinary files.
-- Telegram fallback preserves the original OGG/Opus bytes and `.ogg` filename.
-  Its `send_file` MIME and correlated v2 envelope `attachment.mime` must both be
-  `audio/ogg; x-ours-kind=voice-message`; `attachment.wire_id` identifies the
-  separately delivered file. Connector-local STT success may remain text-only.
-- Oversized audio is saved but not uploaded (daemon default: 5 MiB). Provider
-  HTTP, timeout, malformed-response, and network failures degrade to a precise
-  “transcription failed” line with the saved audio path; provider responses are
-  scrubbed if they echo the configured key.
+# ours daemon configuration
+
+ours-mcp is a client of one already-running shared daemon. The operator CLI owns
+configuration and lifecycle:
+
+```sh
+ours config show --json
+ours config setup --port 3050 --state-dir "$HOME/.ours"
+ours daemon start
+ours daemon status --json
+```
+
+The MCP adapter uses the published SDK's coherent selection. The wholly default
+selection is port 3050 with state directory `~/.ours`. For another daemon, set
+`OURS_CONFIG`, or set matching `OURS_PORT` and `OURS_STATE_DIR`. A token or
+endpoint selection must be paired with its state directory. The daemon's
+`/state-dir` response is verified before credentials are sent.
+
+The adapter never starts a daemon and never falls back to an embedded one.
+`OURS_INSTANCE`, `--application`, and old ours-mcp daemon variables are errors.
+Do not add a duplicate MCP registration; the managed command is simply
+`ours-mcp proxy`.
+
+Changing daemon configuration or restarting the shared daemon affects every
+connected application. Explain that blast radius and obtain the user's consent
+before making operator-level changes.
