+# Nextcloud Talk (plugin)
+
+Status: supported via plugin (webhook bot). Direct messages, rooms, reactions, and markdown messages are supported.
+
+## Plugin required
+
+Nextcloud Talk ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
+
+Install via CLI (npm registry):
+
+```bash
+quantumclaw plugins install @quantumclaw/nextcloud-talk
+```
+
+Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
+
+```bash
+quantumclaw plugins install ./extensions/nextcloud-talk
+```
+
+If you choose Nextcloud Talk during setup and a git checkout is detected,
+QuantumClaw will offer the local install path automatically.
+
+Details: [Plugins](/tools/plugin)
+
+## Quick setup (beginner)
+
+1. Install the Nextcloud Talk plugin.
+2. On your Nextcloud server, create a bot:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./occ talk:bot:install "QuantumClaw" "<shared-secret>" "<webhook-url>" --feature reaction
+   ```
+
+3. Enable the bot in the target room settings.
+4. Configure QuantumClaw:
+   - Config: `channels.nextcloud-talk.baseUrl` + `channels.nextcloud-talk.botSecret`
+   - Or env: `NEXTCLOUD_TALK_BOT_SECRET` (default account only)
+5. Restart the gateway (or finish setup).
+
+Minimal config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    "nextcloud-talk": {
+      enabled: true,
+      baseUrl: "https://cloud.example.com",
+      botSecret: "shared-secret",
+      dmPolicy: "pairing",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Bots cannot initiate DMs. The user must message the bot first.
+- Webhook URL must be reachable by the Gateway; set `webhookPublicUrl` if behind a proxy.
+- Media uploads are not supported by the bot API; media is sent as URLs.
+- The webhook payload does not distinguish DMs vs rooms; set `apiUser` + `apiPassword` to enable room-type lookups (otherwise DMs are treated as rooms).
+
+## Access control (DMs)
+
+- Default: `channels.nextcloud-talk.dmPolicy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders get a pairing code.
+- Approve via:
+  - `quantumclaw pairing list nextcloud-talk`
+  - `quantumclaw pairing approve nextcloud-talk <CODE>`
+- Public DMs: `channels.nextcloud-talk.dmPolicy="open"` plus `channels.nextcloud-talk.allowFrom=["*"]`.
+- `allowFrom` matches Nextcloud user IDs only; display names are ignored.
+
+## Rooms (groups)
+
+- Default: `channels.nextcloud-talk.groupPolicy = "allowlist"` (mention-gated).
+- Allowlist rooms with `channels.nextcloud-talk.rooms`:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    "nextcloud-talk": {
+      rooms: {
+        "room-token": { requireMention: true },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+- To allow no rooms, keep the allowlist empty or set `channels.nextcloud-talk.groupPolicy="disabled"`.
+

+  - You want QuantumClaw to receive DMs via Nostr
+  - You're setting up decentralized messaging
+title: "Nostr"
+---
+
+# Nostr
+
+**Status:** Optional plugin (disabled by default).
+
+Nostr is a decentralized protocol for social networking. This channel enables QuantumClaw to receive and respond to encrypted direct messages (DMs) via NIP-04.
+
+## Install (on demand)
+
+### Onboarding (recommended)
+
+- Onboarding (`quantumclaw onboard`) and `quantumclaw channels add` list optional channel plugins.
+- Selecting Nostr prompts you to install the plugin on demand.
+
+Install defaults:
+
+- **Dev channel + git checkout available:** uses the local plugin path.
+- **Stable/Beta:** downloads from npm.
+
+You can always override the choice in the prompt.
+
+### Manual install
+
+```bash
+quantumclaw plugins install @quantumclaw/nostr
+```
+
+Use a local checkout (dev workflows):
+
+```bash
+quantumclaw plugins install --link <path-to-quantumclaw>/extensions/nostr
+```
+
+Restart the Gateway after installing or enabling plugins.
+
+### Non-interactive setup
+
+```bash
+quantumclaw channels add --channel nostr --private-key "$NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY"
+quantumclaw channels add --channel nostr --private-key "$NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY" --relay-urls "wss://relay.damus.io,wss://relay.primal.net"
+```
+
+Use `--use-env` to keep `NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY` in the environment instead of storing the key in config.
+
+## Quick setup
+
+1. Generate a Nostr keypair (if needed):
+
+```bash
+# Using nak
+nak key generate
+```
+
+2. Add to config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    nostr: {
+      privateKey: "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+3. Export the key:
+
+```bash
+export NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY="nsec1..."
+```
+
+4. Restart the Gateway.
+
+## Configuration reference
+
+| Key          | Type     | Default                                     | Description                         |
+| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| `privateKey` | string   | required                                    | Private key in `nsec` or hex format |
+| `relays`     | string[] | `['wss://relay.damus.io', 'wss://nos.lol']` | Relay URLs (WebSocket)              |
+| `dmPolicy`   | string   | `pairing`                                   | DM access policy                    |
+| `allowFrom`  | string[] | `[]`                                        | Allowed sender pubkeys              |
+| `enabled`    | boolean  | `true`                                      | Enable/disable channel              |
+| `name`       | string   | -                                           | Display name                        |
+| `profile`    | object   | -                                           | NIP-01 profile metadata             |
+
+## Profile metadata
+
+Profile data is published as a NIP-01 `kind:0` event. You can manage it from the Control UI (Channels -> Nostr -> Profile) or set it directly in config.
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    nostr: {
+      privateKey: "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
+      profile: {
+        name: "quantumclaw",
+        displayName: "QuantumClaw",
+        about: "Personal assistant DM bot",
+        picture: "https://example.com/avatar.png",
+        banner: "https://example.com/banner.png",
+        website: "https://example.com",
+        nip05: "quantumclaw@example.com",
+        lud16: "quantumclaw@example.com",
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- Profile URLs must use `https://`.
+- Importing from relays merges fields and preserves local overrides.
+
+## Access control
+
+### DM policies
+
+- **pairing** (default): unknown senders get a pairing code.
+- **allowlist**: only pubkeys in `allowFrom` can DM.
+- **open**: public inbound DMs (requires `allowFrom: ["*"]`).
+- **disabled**: ignore inbound DMs.
+
+Enforcement notes:
+
+- Sender policy is checked before signature verification and NIP-04 decryption.
+- Pairing replies are sent without processing the original DM body.
+- Inbound DMs are rate-limited and oversized payloads are dropped before decrypt.
+
+### Allowlist example
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    nostr: {
+      privateKey: "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
+      dmPolicy: "allowlist",
+      allowFrom: ["npub1abc...", "npub1xyz..."],
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Key formats
+
+Accepted formats:
+
+- **Private key:** `nsec...` or 64-char hex
+- **Pubkeys (`allowFrom`):** `npub...` or hex
+
+## Relays
+
+Defaults: `relay.damus.io` and `nos.lol`.
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    nostr: {
+      privateKey: "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
+      relays: ["wss://relay.damus.io", "wss://relay.primal.net", "wss://nostr.wine"],
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Tips:
+
+- Use 2-3 relays for redundancy.
+- Avoid too many relays (latency, duplication).
+- Paid relays can improve reliability.
+- Local relays are fine for testing (`ws://localhost:7777`).
+
+## Protocol support
+
+| NIP    | Status    | Description                           |
+| ------ | --------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| NIP-01 | Supported | Basic event format + profile metadata |
+| NIP-04 | Supported | Encrypted DMs (`kind:4`)              |
+| NIP-17 | Planned   | Gift-wrapped DMs                      |
+| NIP-44 | Planned   | Versioned encryption                  |
+
+## Testing
+
+### Local relay
+
+```bash
+# Start strfry
+docker run -p 7777:7777 ghcr.io/hoytech/strfry
+```
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    nostr: {
+      privateKey: "${NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY}",
+      relays: ["ws://localhost:7777"],
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Manual test
+
+1. Note the bot pubkey (npub) from logs.
+2. Open a Nostr client (Damus, Amethyst, etc.).
+3. DM the bot pubkey.
+4. Verify the response.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Not receiving messages
+
+- Verify the private key is valid.
+- Ensure relay URLs are reachable and use `wss://` (or `ws://` for local).
+- Confirm `enabled` is not `false`.
+- Check Gateway logs for relay connection errors.
+
+### Not sending responses
+
+- Check relay accepts writes.
+- Verify outbound connectivity.
+- Watch for relay rate limits.
+
+### Duplicate responses
+
+- Expected when using multiple relays.
+- Messages are deduplicated by event ID; only the first delivery triggers a response.
+
+## Security
+
+- Never commit private keys.
+- Use environment variables for keys.
+- Consider `allowlist` for production bots.
+- Pairing and allowlist policy is enforced before decrypt, so unknown senders cannot force full crypto work.
+
+## Limitations (MVP)
+
+- Direct messages only (no group chats).
+- No media attachments.
+- NIP-04 only (NIP-17 gift-wrap planned).

+read_when:
+  - Setting up DM access control
+  - Pairing a new iOS/Android node
+  - Reviewing QuantumClaw security posture
+title: "Pairing"
+---
+
+# Pairing
+
+“Pairing” is QuantumClaw’s explicit **owner approval** step.
+It is used in two places:
+
+1. **DM pairing** (who is allowed to talk to the bot)
+2. **Node pairing** (which devices/nodes are allowed to join the gateway network)
+
+Security context: [Security](/gateway/security)
+
+## 1) DM pairing (inbound chat access)
+
+When a channel is configured with DM policy `pairing`, unknown senders get a short code and their message is **not processed** until you approve.
+
+Default DM policies are documented in: [Security](/gateway/security)
+
+Pairing codes:
+
+- 8 characters, uppercase, no ambiguous chars (`0O1I`).
+- **Expire after 1 hour**. The bot only sends the pairing message when a new request is created (roughly once per hour per sender).
+- Pending DM pairing requests are capped at **3 per channel** by default; additional requests are ignored until one expires or is approved.
+
+### Approve a sender
+
+```bash
+quantumclaw pairing list telegram
+quantumclaw pairing approve telegram <CODE>
+```
+
+Supported channels: `telegram`, `whatsapp`, `signal`, `imessage`, `discord`, `slack`, `feishu`, `nostr`.
+
+### Where the state lives
+
+Stored under `~/.quantumclaw/credentials/`:
+
+- Pending requests: `<channel>-pairing.json`
+- Approved allowlist store:
+  - Default account: `<channel>-allowFrom.json`
+  - Non-default account: `<channel>-<accountId>-allowFrom.json`
+
+Account scoping behavior:
+
+- Non-default accounts read/write only their scoped allowlist file.
+- Default account uses the channel-scoped unscoped allowlist file.
+
+Treat these as sensitive (they gate access to your assistant).
+
+## 2) Node device pairing (iOS/Android/macOS/headless nodes)
+
+Nodes connect to the Gateway as **devices** with `role: node`. The Gateway
+creates a device pairing request that must be approved.
+
+### Pair via Telegram (recommended for iOS)
+
+If you use the `device-pair` plugin, you can do first-time device pairing entirely from Telegram:
+
+1. In Telegram, message your bot: `/pair`
+2. The bot replies with two messages: an instruction message and a separate **setup code** message (easy to copy/paste in Telegram).
+3. On your phone, open the QuantumClaw iOS app → Settings → Gateway.
+4. Paste the setup code and connect.
+5. Back in Telegram: `/pair pending` (review request IDs, role, and scopes), then approve.
+
+The setup code is a base64-encoded JSON payload that contains:
+
+- `url`: the Gateway WebSocket URL (`ws://...` or `wss://...`)
+- `bootstrapToken`: a short-lived single-device bootstrap token used for the initial pairing handshake
+
+Treat the setup code like a password while it is valid.
+
+### Approve a node device
+
+```bash
+quantumclaw devices list
+quantumclaw devices approve <requestId>
+quantumclaw devices reject <requestId>
+```
+
+If the same device retries with different auth details (for example different
+role/scopes/public key), the previous pending request is superseded and a new
+`requestId` is created.
+
+### Node pairing state storage
+
+Stored under `~/.quantumclaw/devices/`:
+
+- `pending.json` (short-lived; pending requests expire)
+- `paired.json` (paired devices + tokens)
+
+### Notes
+
+- The legacy `node.pair.*` API (CLI: `quantumclaw nodes pending/approve`) is a
+  separate gateway-owned pairing store. WS nodes still require device pairing.
