+## Local AI inference
+
+Run `remits-cli ai serve --agent codex --account-id 123 --base-url http://localhost:8080` in a terminal,
+then opt in with `ai(localAgent:true, ...)`. Claude, Gemini, and manual workers are also supported.
+The supervisor resumes one native conversation per Remits session; workflow tools continue executing
+on the server. The data lane defaults to test. See
+[local inference commands and limits](skills/remits-cli/references/local-ai.md).

+# Local AI Workflow Development

+> or diagnosing a local conversation that did not resume. This is separate from support-ticket workers.

+- [Sessions And Recovery](#sessions-and-recovery)
+- [Limits And Evidence](#limits-and-evidence)
+
+## Starting A Worker
+
+```bash
+remits-cli auth --base-url http://localhost:8080 --account-id 1
+remits-cli ai serve --agent codex --base-url http://localhost:8080 --account-id 1 --data-mode test
+```
+
+Use `claude`, `gemini`, or `manual` instead of `codex`. Native executables must be installed and logged
+in. Claude decisions are enforced with Claude Code's `--json-schema` structured output; an installed
+Claude Code that lacks it fails each request with an "upgrade Claude Code" error before any native turn. `--model` selects the native model; the workflow's `model` remains its configured provider target.
+`--max-concurrent 1..16` controls concurrent Remits sessions; default 1. `--worker-id` selects a named
+worker. `--role` declares a role when the user's agent permissions require one. Workstream permission
+is `ai`.
+
+This is a **foreground** supervisor: leave it running in its own terminal and Ctrl-C to release it.
+No account repo is needed when `--account-id` is explicit. Data lane defaults to **test**, independently
+of stored CLI defaults; serving production requires `--data-mode prod`. The host follows normal CLI
+session resolution. Read the startup host/account/lane line.
+
+Opt in at the workflow:
+
+```groovy
+def result = ai(
+    localAgent: true,
+    message: 'Choose the next workflow step',
+    tools: workflowTools
+).get()
+assert result.success
+```
+
+Advanced: `localAgent:[workerId:'my-worker', timeoutSeconds:300, includeNested:true, fallback:'none']`.
+Worker selection and data lane must match the workflow's execution user/account/lane. A service running
+as another user cannot use your worker. This option is also accepted by `aiCapture` and
+`agent('Name').message(text, [localAgent:true])`. Agent hooks can set `ai.localAgent`.
+See `guides/features/ai-support.md` → Local Agent Inference for routing scope and `sessionId`.
+
+These commands keep their running protocol version and do not auto-update or start the support daemon.
+Upgrade separately between supervisor runs.
+
+## Inspecting And Answering Requests
+
+Use the **same host, account, data lane, agent kind, and optional worker ID flags** on every command.
+They select the saved identity. `ai workers` shows online workers in the authenticated scope;
+`ai work` shows this worker's pending requests and renews its heartbeat.
+After 90 seconds without a heartbeat, a worker stops receiving new requests. Its registration stays
+available for 24 hours so a delayed authenticated poll can recover. Released or expired registrations
+require an explicit restart/register; polling cannot revive them.
+
+For an existing local interactive agent, start `ai serve --agent manual` in another terminal.
+Then use:
+
+```bash
+remits-cli ai work --agent manual --account-id 1 --base-url http://localhost:8080
+remits-cli ai request --agent manual --account-id 1 --base-url http://localhost:8080 --request-id REQUEST_ID
+remits-cli ai respond --agent manual --account-id 1 --base-url http://localhost:8080 --request-id REQUEST_ID --input-file decision.json
+```
+
+The request includes the exact outgoing `messages`, tools, tool choice, response-format requirements,
+and Remits `sessionId`. Act as the receiving model. **Do not execute the workflow tool yourself**:
+return its name and arguments. Remits executes it in the original invocation and delivers the next round.
+
+```json
+{"content":null,"toolCalls":[{"name":"record","arguments":{"value":7}}]}
+```
+
+For a final answer: `{"content":"Done","toolCalls":[]}`. For a terminal failure:
+`{"error":"The local agent cannot handle this request"}`. Optional `nativeSessionId` and `model` annotate
+the response. The server rejects unavailable tools, invalid required choices, expired requests, and
+conflicting duplicate replies. `ai status --request-id ID` inspects settlement without retrieving content.
+
+## Sessions And Recovery
+
+Each Remits `sessionId` uses one native conversation. Subsequent tool rounds explicitly resume its
+saved Codex thread or Claude/Gemini session ID. `ai sessions` shows the mapping and local state directory.
+It survives an ordinary supervisor restart. `ai release` stops dispatch to that worker; the running
+supervisor observes release and exits. No automatic migration to a different worker occurs.
+
+Missed WebSocket notifications recover through authenticated polling. Finished decisions are saved
+before submission, so an HTTP retry does not repeat inference. If the supervisor died during inference,
+or a native turn was killed mid-way, the native outcome is uncertain: inspect the native session and use
+a new Remits session rather than deleting the journal and accidentally replaying a tool decision. A native
+turn that finished with an invalid decision (for Claude, a reply that never used structured output) fails
+that request only; the session stays usable and the next request re-sends the full packet. A native CLI
+that failed before starting a turn leaves the session as it was. Never run competing supervisors with
+the same worker ID.
+
+Local state is under `~/.remits-cli/ai/<scope hash>/`: `worker.json`, `sessions/`, `requests/`, and isolated
+`workspaces/`. The hash includes host, user, account, lane, agent kind, and optional worker ID. Files may
+contain sensitive workflow data. Native tools keep their own conversation history separately.
+
+## Limits And Evidence
+
+Native login failures are native setup issues. In particular, Gemini can refuse an account or client
+tier before inference; registering the Remits worker does not establish native eligibility.
+
+Automatic adapters accept text requests; unsupported image/audio/file parts fail clearly. Manual
+workers receive the complete packet. The packet is identical to the provider-bound request, but the
+native agent's own harness and retained history differ. Pruned content may remain in native memory.
+Use this for initial workflow tuning, then validate the finished workflow on its configured provider.
+
+No OpenRouter request occurs for a routed round. Native subscription/API usage may still apply.
+Telemetry labels local providers and leaves native cost unknown. `fallback:'provider'` is explicit and
+only applies before dispatch; no local timeout or ambiguous response silently spends on OpenRouter.
