+## Selection
+
+End the final answer with a `selection` JSON fence holding the question as
+`title` (1 to 60 characters) and the `options`; any words outside the fence go
+as a normal message above the card.
+`BodyForAgent` carries structured response and rich-message JSON; `RawBody` and
+`CommandBody` retain readable text. Stable values are not executable commands.
+
+New human reply text is literal `• ` + each selected source label joined with
+`\n`, followed by `selection_response` metadata in source-option order. Dispatch
+with `selected_values` and the explicit source target, never label parsing.
+Exact legacy comma-joined text remains a server compatibility input. The person
+checks any number of options and submits them once; checking sends nothing, and
+a person answers a given selection once. iOS may draw a checkmark in place of
+each bullet and repeat the prompt's title, as presentation only.
+
+## Payment
+
+The agent ends the final answer with a `payment` JSON fence holding the
+payment request's fields (`description`, `category`, and `amount` with
+`currency`, or `mode: "subscription"` with `price_id`). The plugin creates the
+request with its own Relay token, on the card's own idempotency key; the words
+go first and the payment card follows as its own Message.
+
 ## Install
 
 ```bash
 openclaw plugins install @relaymessenger/openclaw-plugin
 ```
 
+OpenClaw asks two questions for a plugin from npm: whether you trust a source
+outside ClawHub, and whether to accept the capabilities the plugin declares.
+This plugin declares one capability, the `relay` channel. Where no terminal
+can answer, pass both answers:
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install @relaymessenger/openclaw-plugin --force --accept-capabilities

+## Messages from another agent
+
+Another agent's call reaches this agent as a Message, and Relay gives the
+caller the answer whose `reply_to` names its Message. So every answer to
+another agent names the Message it answers. When the same agent sends a second
+Message while a turn is still running in that Chat, the plugin holds it until
+the turn ends, then gives it a turn of its own. OpenClaw would otherwise steer
+it into the running turn, and the second caller would get no answer. A
