 ## What is Theorem?
 
-Theorem runs agent turns for your application and enforces the rules around them.
+Theorem runs AI agents from typed profiles. The profile declares the agent's models, tools, inputs, outputs, and guardrails.
 
-You describe an agent once as a **profile**: which models it can use, what it accepts (text,
-images, PDFs, audio, voice, typed slots), what it must return (free text, schema-checked JSON,
-images, speech, a live audio session), which tools it may call, and how every input and output
-is guarded. Theorem turns each request into a turn that follows that contract. It sanitizes what
-comes in, decides which tools the model can see, runs them through one gated pipeline, checks
-what the model says before any of it reaches your user, and writes a trace to wherever you
-point it.
+Use Theorem when your application runs an AI agent and you need the agent to do what its profile says, on every turn. Theorem runs each turn from the profile and enforces the rules around it.
 
-It stays out of your product. There are no bundled prompts, personas, databases, `.env` reads,
-or UI copy. Keys, credentials, trace storage, and policy all come from the host.
+You describe an agent once, as a **profile**. A profile says:
 
-**Current release: `0.3.0`** — `jsr:@theoremjs/agents` · npm `@theoremjs/agents`.
+- which models the agent may use;
+- what the agent accepts: text, images, PDFs, audio, voice, or typed slots;
+- what the agent must return: free text, JSON that a schema checks, images, speech, or a live audio session;
+- which tools the agent may call;
+- how every input and output is guarded.
 
-## Highlights
+Theorem then runs each request as a **turn** that follows the profile. It cleans the input. It selects the tools that the model can see. It executes client tools through one gated pipeline. It checks what the model says before any of it reaches your user. It writes a trace to the place that you choose.
 
-### Profiles that describe the whole agent
+Theorem does not include application prompts, personas, or databases. It does not read `.env` files for provider credentials.
+Your application supplies credentials, trace storage, and product policy. You can replace kernel wording through the labels.
 
-- 🧩 **Six profile types** — `text`, `image`, `speech`, `live` (realtime voice and video), `host` (tool execution with no model, for MCP gateways and schedulers), and `decision` (bounded typed decisions over host-supplied JSON state).
-- 🔀 **Several models per profile** — bind a fast model and a deep model from different providers, let the turn pick one, and expose named effort levels (`quick`, `careful`) instead of raw thinking knobs.
-- 📎 **Typed multimodal inputs** — accept images, PDFs, CSVs, audio, video, or voice notes by MIME, with per-file, per-turn, and per-type byte limits. Gemini Files references pass through without re-uploading.
-- 🧾 **Validated outputs** — pick a JSON schema per turn from an input slot, run your own field validators, and let the kernel ask the model to repair a failing answer.
 
-### Guardrails on every turn
+Install `jsr:@theoremjs/agents` from JSR or `@theoremjs/agents` from npm.
 
-- 🛡️ **Input sanitization by trust level** — system prompts you wrote go through untouched; host-assembled prompts, user text, history, attachments, and tool results are scanned for injection and sensitive data.
-- 🐤 **Canary tokens** — each turn binds a fresh token into the system prompt. A leak is caught as written, reversed, in ROT13, spelled out, as character codes or in base64, in any case, through lookalike characters and separators, even when the stream splits it across chunks, tool steps, or Live cycles.
-- 🚪 **Egress checks with repair** — your policy sees every reply (text and structured) before release. It can allow, flag, redact, or block, and a block can send the model back to try again.
-- 🧪 **Tested against attacks** — adversarial corpora, fuzzing, and mutation testing cover the guardrail code, and the corpora ship for hosts to test their own profiles.
+## What it gives you
 
-### A tool system that holds up in production
-
-- 🔧 **Function, HTTP, MCP, and provider tools in one registry** — Zod schemas, streamed progress, and the same execution pipeline for all of them.
-- 🔐 **Gating in layers** — host catalog → profile allowlist → route paths → load tier (T0 / T1 / T2) → permission (`auto` · `session_consent` · `always_confirm`) → your own `preTool` and stage hooks.
-- 🔑 **OAuth 2.1 with PKCE built in** — discovery, encrypted state, issuer checks, resource indicators, and automatic token refresh for HTTP and MCP tools.
-- 🧯 **Remote content handled as data** — HTTP and MCP results are fenced and labelled by origin. Content that tries to steer the model gets an advisory, and a turn that has read remote content can be blocked from destructive calls.

+A **provider** is data about a model service: its address, the protocols that it serves, and how to sign in.
+A **protocol** is the code for one API shape. It writes each request and reads each reply.
+Register the provider before the profile. The registration sets its connection and its credential slots.
+
+```ts
+import { openRouterProvider, registerProvider } from "@theoremjs/agents";
+
+const router = registerProvider(openRouterProvider, { keySlot: "openrouter" });
 ```
 
-The other tools this profile allows (`docs_search`, `create_issue`, `refund_order`,
-`load_tools`) are registered in [Registered Tools](#registered-tools).
+Each run captures the registered provider. A later registration affects later runs only.
 
 ### Define a profile
 
-One profile, two models from two providers. It takes text, files, and voice notes, returns a
-different JSON schema depending on who's asking, and turns on every guardrail.
+The profile selects models and tools. It also declares inputs, outputs, and guardrails.
+The registered provider's `.model()` helper takes a protocol and a model ID. It checks the settings and returns plain binding data.

 ## Profile types
 
-The `type` field decides the shape of the profile and which runner handles it.
+Use the `type` field to choose what the agent does. The type sets the shape of the profile and picks the runner.
 
-| Type | Runner | Takes | Returns | Transports |
+| Type | Runner | Takes | Returns | First-party protocols |
 | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `text` | `runTurn` | text, attachments, voice notes, slots, history | text, thoughts, validated JSON, tool calls | Google Interactions, OpenRouter, local |
-| `image` | `runTurn` | prompt + reference images | images, optionally with interleaved text | Google Interactions, OpenRouter |
-| `speech` | `runTurn` | text | audio (WAV, or MP3 on OpenRouter) | Google Interactions, OpenRouter |
-| `live` | `runSession` | realtime mic audio, camera frames, typed text | streamed audio, transcripts, tool calls | Gemini Live (WebSocket) |
-| `host` | `invokeTool` | tool calls from your own code | guarded tool results | none; it never calls a model |
-| `decision` | `runDecision` | non-null JSON state plus declared questions | typed choices, probabilities, scores, or `noul` | TypeSafe or OpenRouter Decisions API |
-
-### Decision profiles
-
-A `decision` profile makes one bounded request. Its single model binding uses
-`protocol: "decision"`, `provider: "typesafe" | "openrouter"`, and the provider's
-`apiId`, like other model bindings. The profile's `decision` object holds its
-contract configuration. The host supplies JSON state and questions; `runDecision`
-returns validated typed answers. It has no prompt, history, tools, attachments,
-or streaming. The model names a key slot (its own `key`, else the profile's), and the key
-comes only from the caller's `vault`, never from ambient environment state.
-
-### Live voice and video
-
-A `live` profile opens a long-running Gemini Live session. The same canary, sanitizer, and
-egress policy run at each conversational turn inside it, and tools go through the same
-pipeline as text turns.
-
-```ts
-import { defineProfile, registerProfile, runSession } from "@theoremjs/agents";
-
-registerProfile(defineProfile({
-  type: "live",
-  id: "support.voice",
-  identity: { handle: "voice", system: "You are a calm voice assistant for account questions." },

-    voice: "Aoede",

+Tool handlers receive `ToolContext.operationId`, a kernel-issued ID for their action.
+Provider call IDs remain available for correlation. Approval clients preserve both IDs from the issued gate.
+These IDs distinguish actions. A host-owned execution coordinator retains their claims and outcomes.
+The React handler creates that coordinator from its atomic session store. Process restarts require durable shared storage.
+
+The runner is one deterministic path for one agent turn. A profile is a declaration that the host owns. Registered providers and their protocols supply model operations; `runSession` opens live sessions. Traces go to destinations that the host registers. There are no environment variables and no bundled database.
+
+```text

+    |

+ RESOLVE    pick model and effort, tool snapshot, canary
+    |   stage: pre_turn

+    |   stage: post_turn

 ```
 
-Text reaches your client as it clears the progressive-yield window. The window holds back the
-last stretch of output so a secret split across chunks can't slip out. It holds what the scan can
-catch: for the canary, only a tail of 4 or more characters that could still be the start of a leak
-(usually nothing, so canary-only output streams almost at once; a blocked leak shows at most 3); with the bundled
-`egress.checks` or an `egressPolicy`, only what could still become a match, so a blocked match shows none of its characters; with your own
-`egress.enforce`, `egress.holdback` characters (256 by default; 96 on Live, where held transcript holds its audio too). The end-of-attempt verdict is final: anything held
-back mid-stream that the final check clears gets released, not dropped.
-
-Thoughts are omitted from, never stopped. A host that shows thoughts
-(`outputs.streaming.streamThoughts`) gets each one with the canary, system-prompt echo,
-user-data markers and any image or link the bundled checks would block swapped for a
-placeholder, and a `guardrail` event at stage `thought`; the rest of the thought streams on.
-
-In Live, the spoken reply's transcript runs through the same window. A native-audio model's
-transcript trails its audio and carries no timing, so a guarded profile (canary or
-`egress.enforce`) holds each audio chunk until the transcript of its own message has passed
-(or, for a message with none, the next transcript), then streams it: a chunk's own words have been read before it is heard, and the rest of the reply
-goes when the model finishes generating. As with text, what was heard before a later hit stays
-heard; the gate withholds from the hit onward. Guarded
-Live profiles always ask the provider for the output transcript (`live.transcription.output` is
-forced on). Audio from a reply that produced no transcript is dropped, not played. A profile with
-neither a canary nor `egress.enforce` streams audio as it arrives.
-
-### Stage hooks
-
-`onStage` is the host's hook into the turn. Stages mark *when*; the returned affordances are
-the only things the kernel will apply.
-
-| Stage | Fires | Host may return |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `pre_turn` | Before model work for the turn (or each live utterance) | `inject`, `abort` |
-| `pre_tool` | Per call, after the model chose it, before the body runs | `deny`, `confirm`, `mutate` (input), `abort` |
-| `post_tool` | Per call, after the body, before the terminal `tool` event | `deny`, `mutate` (output), `inject`, `abort` |
-| `before_end` | About to end the turn; injecting here re-enters the step loop | `inject`, `abort` |
-| `post_turn` | After `done` | observe only |
-
-Injected messages go through the same sanitizer as user input. A `mutate` result is
-re-validated against the tool's Zod schema and re-guarded before the model sees it.
+Use `onStage` to act at a fixed point in the turn:
 
-### Resuming a turn
+- Apply a host limit at `pre_turn`.
+- Request confirmation at `pre_tool`.
+- Change a tool result at `post_tool`.
+ A turn that stops early can resume. After a `gate` stop, call `invokeTool` with `resume`. After a cut-off reply, start a new `runTurn` with `continueFrom`.
 
-There are two ways back into a turn, and they don't mix:
-
-| Situation | `done.stop.kind` | How to resume |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| A tool needs permission, confirmation, or sign-in | `gate` | Collect the answer, then call `invokeTool` with `resume` and the `done.tools` snapshot (on live, `session.executeTool({ callId, decision })`). The body runs once, then you continue the turn. |
-| The reply was cut off | `length`, `stream_incomplete`, … | Start a new `runTurn` with `continueFrom`. The profile's `resumption` policy decides what's allowed and caps the rounds, and the host re-gates tools. |
-
-Compaction, guardrails, and streaming attach at fixed layers of this pipeline:
-
-| Vertical | Where it runs | Tool interaction |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| **Compaction** | Before the turn (`timing: 'before'`), or a signal on `done` the host passes to `compactHistory` (`timing: 'after'`) | Summarizes `TurnHistoryMessage` history, tool calls and results included; a failed summary keeps the history, or drops the compacted part once it is over `maxTokens` |
-| **Guardrails** | Ingress sanitize; tool arguments and results; progressive yield mid-stream; egress and validation after the step loop | Tool results are fenced and guarded before the model reads them |
-| **Streaming** | Provider stream + tool handler generators | Tool `progress` / `trace` / `artifact` / `warning` phases stream during execution; `streamThoughts: false` filters thoughts only |
+For a React interface, use the separate package [`@theoremjs/react`](https://github.com/masudl-hub/theoremai/blob/main/react/README.md). It builds on the headless projection `@theoremjs/agents/interface`. The agents package does not include React.

-## Registered Tools
+## Tools
 
-Tools are registered once in a host-wide catalog. Profiles pick from it, and each turn narrows
-it further. Every tool, whatever its type, runs through the same execution pipeline, so a
-refund handler, a REST call, and an MCP server get the same gates, hooks, and result guards.
+Use tools to let the model act: look something up, call an API, change a record. You register each tool once in a catalog that the whole host shares. A profile picks tools from the catalog, and each turn narrows the choice again.
 
-| Type | What runs | Schema | Auth |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `function` | Your handler, in process. Can be an async generator that streams `progress`, `trace`, `artifact`, and `warning` before `complete`. | Zod `input` / `output` | Host-owned |
-| `http` | A declarative REST call. Path params, query params, and body are mapped from the validated input. | Zod `input` / `output` | `bearer`, `api_key`, or `oauth2` slot |
-| `mcp` | One tool on a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP, with protocol-version negotiation. | Zod `input` / `output` | `bearer`, `api_key`, or `oauth2` slot |
-| `builtin` | A provider-native tool (Google Search, Maps, URL context, code execution) from a preset. | Provider-defined | Provider key |
+| Type | What runs |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `function` | Your handler, in process. |
+| `http` | A declarative REST call. Auth is `bearer`, `api_key`, or `oauth2`. |
+| `mcp` | One tool on a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP. |
+| `builtin` | A provider-native tool (Google Search, Maps, URL context, code execution) from a preset. |
 
-### Who decides what the model can call
+Every client-tool call uses the same gated pipeline. Provider-native tools execute upstream through the protocol. Six layers decide whether the model can call a tool, and each layer has one owner.
 
 | Layer | Owner | What it decides |
 | :--- | :--- | :--- |
 | **Catalog** | Host, at startup | `registerTool`: schema, handler, `access`, `loadTier`, `permission` |
 | **Allow** | Profile | `tools.allow` for custom tools; `models.*.builtInTools` for provider tools |
-| **Paths** | Tool | `paths` globs matched against `TurnRequest.path` (`/billing/*`) |
-| **Visibility** | Registry + profile | `T0` always visible · `T1` added by `tools.t1Policy(ctx)` for this turn · `T2` loaded mid-turn by the `tools.t2Loader` tool |
-| **Permission** | Tool + host | `auto` runs · `session_consent` asks once per session, then remembers · `always_confirm` asks every call |
-| **Hooks** | Tool + host | the tool's `preTool` and the turn's `onStage` can deny, confirm, or rewrite the call |
-
-Live sessions declare every allowed tool at setup, since Gemini Live can't change its tool list
-mid-session. `host` profiles have no model and no tiers; `invokeTool` can run any allowed tool.
-
-### Function, HTTP, MCP, and builtin tools
-
-`search_tickets` from the Quickstart is a streaming function tool. The rest of the
-`support.agent` catalog:

+| **Permission** | Tool and host | `auto` runs; `session_consent` asks once per session; `always_confirm` asks every call |
+| **Hooks** | Tool and host | The tool's `preTool` and the turn's `onStage` can deny, confirm, or rewrite the call |

+A tool that must act as the signed-in user takes OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. The call becomes an auth gate, and the helpers in `@theoremjs/agents/kernel` finish the sign-in.

+---
 
-Builtins come from a preset and are enabled per model binding, as in the Quickstart
-(`builtInTools: ["googleSearch", "urlContext"]`). Their results pass through the same
-grounding and guardrail projection as every other tool.
-

-steps in this order. The order is fixed.

+## Guardrails
 
-A tool call can wait on a human in three ways, and each has its own path:
+Theorem scans each piece of text according to where it came from.
 
-| Wait | What the client sees | How it continues |
+| Trust | Source | Treatment |
 | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **Gate** (permission, confirmation, sign-in) | `tool` event with `phase: 'gate'` and a `gate` payload, then `done` with `stop.kind: 'gate'` | Your UI gets an answer, then calls `invokeTool({ resume: { granted }, snapshot: done.tools })`. The body runs exactly once. |
-| **Deny** (`preTool`, `pre_tool`, `post_tool`, taint gate) | A failed `tool` event with a reason code | Nothing to do. The model sees the failure and carries on. |
-| **Question** (`ask_user`) | A completed `ask_user` result carrying the question | The user's answer is the next user turn. |
-
-### OAuth 2.1 with PKCE
-
-HTTP and MCP tools with `type: "oauth2"` auth don't need an OAuth library. When a tool needs a
-token the user hasn't granted, the call becomes an auth gate. The helpers in
-`@theoremjs/agents/kernel` run the rest:
-
-- **Discovery** — protected-resource metadata (RFC 9728), then authorization-server metadata (RFC 8414). The metadata must name exactly the resource and issuer that were asked for, every endpoint must be HTTPS, and the server must advertise S256. Discovery and token requests go through the network guard and never follow redirects.
-- **PKCE** — S256 challenge (RFC 7636); the verifier never leaves your server.
-- **Stateless state** — the verifier and flow details (issuer, token endpoint, redirect URI, resource) are encrypted into `state` (AES-256-GCM) with a TTL, so there's no session table to maintain and nothing in the URL is readable. Every state gets its own key (a fresh HKDF salt), and the envelope names its version. `signingSecret` must be at least 32 bytes and carry 256 bits of entropy: 32 random bytes, base64-encoded.
-- **Session binding** — pass the same `sessionBinding` to both calls: a value tied to the user's browser session that an attacker can't know or set, such as your session id or a random value in an HttpOnly cookie. A callback from any other session is refused, so an attacker can't get their own account's token saved into someone else's (login CSRF, RFC 6749 §10.12).
-- **Mix-up protection** — the `iss` returned on the callback must match the discovered issuer (RFC 9207), and is required when the server says it sends one. The redirect URI must match, and the code is exchanged only at the token endpoint sealed into `state`.
-- **Resource indicators** — every token is bound to the resource the flow was for (RFC 8707), and a tool never sends a token to a URL outside that resource. A credential that names no resource is not used; the call gates for sign-in instead.
-- **Strict inputs** — `redirectUri` must be HTTPS, HTTP on a loopback host, or a reverse-domain app scheme, without a fragment (RFC 8252). Each scope must be a single RFC 6749 scope token, and `stateTtlMs` must be a positive number.
-- **Client ID Metadata Documents** — `clientId` can be an HTTPS URL, so you don't have to register a client with every server.
-- **Confidential clients** — a provider that requires a client secret (Google does, for web clients) gets it as `clientSecret` on `exchangeOAuthPkce` and `refreshOAuthToken`, sent in the token request body. It never goes on the credential: when the kernel refreshes a token it asks your source for it with `clientSecret(clientId)`, so rotating the secret needs no stored credential rewritten.
-- **Provider parameters** — `authorizationParams` adds a provider's own parameters to the authorization URL (Google issues a refresh token only with `access_type: "offline"`). A parameter the flow sets itself, such as `state` or `redirect_uri`, is refused.
-- **Refresh** — tokens within 30 seconds of expiry are refreshed before the call. The new credential goes to your source with `set(slot, credential)`, and the call waits for it, so a rotated refresh token is saved before it is used; the turn emits `auth_token_refreshed` naming the slot. The token itself never rides the event stream. Calls that find the same expired token share one refresh, so a rotating refresh token is never presented twice. A refused refresh emits `auth_token_refresh_failed`: the server's own text rides only in `errorInternal`, which `forClient` strips, and never reaches the model.
-- **Echoed credentials** — a response that repeats the token or key it was sent with (an echo endpoint, a debug error page) has that value replaced with `[omitted - credential]` before the model, the trace, or the client sees it.

-```ts
-import { invokeTool, runTurn } from "@theoremjs/agents";
-import { createOAuthPkceFlow, exchangeOAuthPkce } from "@theoremjs/agents/kernel";
-
-// 1. During the turn: a tool needs sign-in.
-for await (const event of runTurn(request, provider)) {
-  if (event.tool?.phase === "gate" && event.tool.gate?.kind === "auth") {
-    const flow = await createOAuthPkceFlow({
-      resourceServerUrl: "https://api.tracker.example",

-    redirect(flow.authorizationUrl);
-  }
-  send(event);
-}
+- **Coming in.** `detect` replaces prompt-injection phrasing, secrets, and personal data with a placeholder before the model sees them.
+- **Going out.** A **canary** is a secret token that Theorem hides in the system prompt. If the token appears in a reply, the prompt leaked, and the `canary_leak` detector stops the reply. The `prompt_leak` detector also stops a reply that repeats 12 words of the prompt. Both are set in `detect`, like every other detector. `egress` checks every outbound payload and can send the model back to repair its answer.
+- **Tool results.** Remote content is data. Theorem fences it, scans it, and refuses destructive calls after a remote read when `taint.afterRemoteRead` is set. `taint.remoteDestination` gates a call that sends to an address only remote content named.
+- **Network.** HTTP and MCP targets must pass `network.allowedHosts`. Theorem refuses private and metadata addresses by default.
 
-// 2. On your callback route: exchange the code and save the credential.
-const { credential } = await exchangeOAuthPkce({
-  code: params.get("code")!,
-  state: params.get("state")!,
-  iss: params.get("iss") ?? undefined,
-  redirectUri: "https://app.example/oauth/callback",
-  signingSecret: secrets.oauthStateSecret,
-  sessionBinding: session.id,
-});
-await vaultCredentials(user.id).set("tracker", credential);
-
-// 3. Resume the gated call. It runs once, with the new token.
-// `gated` is what you saved when the gate fired: the tool name, its input, and done.tools.
-for await (const event of invokeTool({
-  profile: "support.agent",
-  name: gated.name,
-  input: gated.input,
-  snapshot: gated.snapshot,
-  resume: { granted: true },
-  credentials: vaultCredentials(user.id),
-})) send(event);
-```
+The checks fail closed: a payload that cannot be scanned counts as a block. The guardrails have an adversarial corpus, fuzzing, and mutation tests. The corpus ships as `@theoremjs/agents/guardrails/testing`.
 
-Credentials travel per turn in `TurnRequest.credentials`, a `ToolCredentialSource` the kernel
-reads one slot at a time, only when a tool that signs in runs, so a turn opens no credential
-it does not use. `memoryCredentialSource(record)` wraps a plain record. The kernel never
-stores them, and they never belong in the browser: `createTheoremHandler` keeps them in a
-server-side credential store (see [`react/README.md`](react/README.md#tool-credentials)). A tool whose auth is `onUnauthenticated: "report_to_model"` tells the model it
-isn't signed in instead of gating, for tools the agent can manage without.
+### Observability
 
-A `function` tool can sign in too: give it the same `auth`, and its handler gets
-`ctx.signedInFetch(url, init)`, which carries the credential to that URL's origin only.
-The handler never sees the token; a refusal from the service throws `CredentialRefusedError`
-(from `@theoremjs/agents/kernel`), which the kernel turns into a new sign-in, so a handler that
-catches its own errors rethrows it.
-
-**Migration:** [`docs/MIGRATION-tool-system.md`](docs/MIGRATION-tool-system.md) covers the
-breaking changes from `dynamicTools` / `ToolEnvelope`.
+`observability` writes OpenTelemetry-shaped trace records for turns, host tool calls, and live sessions to a destination that you register: JSONL, memory, or your own sink. Use `sampleRate`, `include`, and `scrub` to shape what it writes. `toOtlpJson` reshapes records for any OpenTelemetry backend.

-## Guardrails and Egress
-
-Guardrails are declared per profile and run on every turn. Nothing needs wiring per request.
-Each layer can be turned off, and anything that blocks can be tuned through your own policy.
+## Providers
 
-### Coming in: trust levels and sanitization
+Host options can set finite `limits` for provider setup, credentials, transport, and normalized output.
+Defaults bound each operation to 120 seconds and each live connection opening to 30 seconds.
+Retries share the deadline and byte budget. Limits do not enter the profile.
 
-Each piece of text is scanned according to where it came from:
+A model call uses a **protocol**, a **provider** and a **binding**.
+The protocol is the code for one API shape. The provider is data: an address, the protocols that it serves, and a sign-in.
+The binding under `models` names the protocol, the registered provider ID, and the model.
 
-| Trust | Source | Treatment |
+| Provider | ID | Protocols |
 | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `trusted` | `identity.system`, written by you at startup | Passed through |
-| `assembled` | `TurnRequest.system`, built by your code per turn | Full scan. It usually interpolates retrieval output and user data, so it isn't trusted |
-| `untrusted` | User text, history, slots, attachments (CSV cells included), steering, stage injections | Full injection and sensitive-data scan |
-
-`sanitizeInput` neutralizes prompt-injection patterns. `redactSensitive` masks secrets and
-personal data (keys, tokens, card numbers, and more) before the model sees them. Each hit becomes
-a `guardrail` event with its rule and severity (and, if you turn on
-`guardrailMatchPreview`, the exact text it caught), so your UI and traces can show what changed.

-- **Canary** — each turn mints a fresh random 32-hex token and binds it into the system prompt. If it shows up in the output — as written, reversed, in ROT13, spelled out, as character codes or base64-encoded, in any case, through lookalike characters, with words or symbols between its characters, or just 16 characters of it — the system prompt has leaked. The prompt itself is guarded too: a reply that repeats 12 consecutive words of it, token or not, is stopped at its twelfth word (`guardrails.promptEcho`, on with the canary; set it `false` if your prompt holds text the agent should quote verbatim). A leaking token is held back, and the client gets a generic public error, never the leaked fragment.
-- **Egress** — your `EgressEnforcer` sees every outbound payload (streamed text, structured JSON, live transcripts) with its stage and canary, and returns one of four verdicts:
-
-| Verdict | Effect |
-| :--- | :--- |
-| `allow` | Released as is |
-| `flag` | Released, with a `guardrail` event for review |
-| `redact` | Your rewritten text is released in its place |
-| `block` | `onBlock: "reject_to_agent"` sends the verdict's `rejection` back to the model for up to `maxRetries` repair rounds; `"refuse_to_user"` shows the lexicon's `egress.refusal`. When retries run out, the turn is withheld |
-
-- **Validation** — `outputs.validation.fields` runs your checks on dotted paths in the structured result, and failures get their own repair rounds.
-- **Fails closed** — a payload that can't be scanned, or an enforcer that throws, is treated as a block (`egress.enforcer-error`), never as an allow.
-
-Most hosts turn on the bundled checks with `egress.checks`: `true` runs each at its default, and
-an object switches the ones it names (`{ sensitive: { network: true }, links: { hosts: ["docs.example.com"] } }`).
-A host with checks of its own starts from the standard policy instead:
+Register providers before profiles. `registerProvider(provider, { id, connection, keySlot, fallbackKeySlot })` returns the registered provider.
+`registerProfile` refuses a binding whose provider does not serve its protocol, or whose protocol has no endpoint for the profile type.
+Put shared generation settings on the binding. Put protocol-specific settings in `options`. The protocol's schema validates them.
 
 ```ts
-import { type EgressEnforcer, standardEgressEnforce } from "@theoremjs/agents";
-
-// Standard checks first, then hide internal incident ids from customers.
-const egress: EgressEnforcer = (payload, ctx) => {
-  const standard = standardEgressEnforce(payload, ctx);
-  if (standard.action !== "allow") return standard;
-  const text = payload.text.replace(/\bINC-\d{6}\b/g, "[internal incident]");
-  if (text === payload.text) return standard;
-  return { action: "redact", text, hits: [{ rule: "host.internal-incident-id", severity: "low" }] };
-};
-
-// guardrails: { egress: { enforce: egress, onBlock: "reject_to_agent", maxRetries: 2 } }
-```
-
-Rules that only block can go through `egressPolicy` instead, which holds them as exactly as the
-standard checks: `agents egress-compile ./rules.ts --out ./rules.compiled.ts` compiles your regexes
-at build time, and `egressPolicy({ rules, compiled: compiledEgressRules })` runs them beside the
-standard checks (see [Guardrails → Host egress rules](docs/contracts/guardrails.md#host-egress-rules)).
+import { bearer, defineProvider, localProvider, openAi, registerProvider } from "@theoremjs/agents";
+import { z } from "zod";
 
-Streaming doesn't mean giving up these checks. Text is released as it clears the checks
-(under the bundled checks and the canary, only what could still become a match waits; under your own
-`egress.enforce`, a 256-character window by default),
-so a secret split across chunks is caught before the first half reaches the client. Live sessions apply the same gate at each turn
-boundary.
+registerProvider(localProvider, { connection: { baseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1" } });
 
-### Tool results: remote content is data
+const gateway = defineProvider({
+  id: "gateway",
+  name: "Company gateway",
+  description: "The chat gateway of the company.",
+  connection: z.strictObject({ baseUrl: z.string() }),
+  key: z.string().trim().min(1),
+  authorize: bearer(),
+  serves: (at) => [{ protocol: openAi, baseUrl: at.baseUrl }],
+});
+registerProvider(gateway, { connection: { baseUrl: "https://gateway.example/v1" }, keySlot: "gateway" });
+```
 
-A tool result can be the way an attack gets in. Theorem handles it like this:
+Use `defineProvider` for a server that speaks a protocol that Theorem has. `bearer`, `header`, and `query` put the key on each request.
+Use `extendProtocol` for an API that nearly matches a protocol. Use `defineProtocol` for a new API shape.
+A protocol never holds a key or an address. The kernel signs and sends each request.
 
-- **Provenance** — each result records where it came from (`local`, `builtin`, `http`, `mcp`, `delegated`) and how deep the call chain went.
-- **Fencing** — remote results reach the model wrapped in `<tool_data tool="…" origin="…">`. Forged `tool_data` markers inside the body are stripped first, so content can't claim a friendlier origin than it has.
-- **Directive advisory** — content that names a tool the model can call, gives the agent orders, or claims authority it can't have, *and* points at an external address or URL, gets an `advisory` attribute and a short notice, plus your lexicon `advisory.guidance`. It informs the model; it doesn't block.
-- **Taint gate** — with `taint.afterRemoteRead: "destructive"`, once a turn has read remote content, destructive calls are refused for the rest of it (`"write"` refuses `read-write` calls too). The refusal names the tools whose output tainted the turn, so the model can explain it instead of retrying.
-- **Argument inspection** — the model's arguments are scanned before the body runs. A credential-shaped value about to be sent out as a parameter raises a `tool_call.sensitive-argument` event. It's reported, not rewritten.
-- **Network** — HTTP and MCP targets are checked against `network.allowedHosts` and `allowedSchemes`, and loopback, private, link-local, cloud-metadata, and CGNAT ranges (IPv4 and IPv6) are refused unless `allowPrivateNetworks` is set. `allowedHosts` exempts a host from the address checks, never from `allowedSchemes`. Redirects are followed one hop at a time and each hop is checked the same way; auth and configured headers go only to the tool's own origin and are never re-sent once a redirect leaves it. Path parameters can't be `.` or `..`.
-- **Redaction** — both the result and its structured data, plus failure messages, go through the same detection as user input before the model reads them.
+### Supply credentials
 
-### Quota and observability
+Pass the vault in host options to `runTurn`, `runSession`, or `runDecision`.
+Provider registrations name default credential slots. Bindings can override them with `keySlot` and `fallbackKeySlot`.
+After a quota refusal (HTTP 429), the kernel retries once with the key in `fallbackKeySlot`, if the vault holds it.
+The vault accepts strings, JSON credential objects, or asynchronous resolvers. The host owns credential caching and refresh.
+Supply each slot as an own property of the vault. The runtime ignores inherited entries.
 
-`guardrails.quota` caps turns per client per day (`perDay`); the limit message is the lexicon's `quota.exhausted`. If a profile omits it, the quota
-helper returns `not_configured`, and you decide whether that route stays unmetered, gets
-rejected, or goes through your own rate limiter.
+```ts
+import { runTurn } from "@theoremjs/agents";
 
-`observability` writes OpenTelemetry-shaped trace records (turns, host tool invokes, Live
-sessions) to a destination you register (JSONL, memory, or your own sink), with `sampleRate`
-decided per trace, `include` flags (upstream log, outbound wire, raw evidence, usage, guardrail
-decisions), `scrub` for sensitive data, injection, and canaries, a `resource` for service
-identity, and a retention every sink receives (`<= 0` keeps records forever). `toOtlpJson`
-reshapes records into an OTLP/JSON request for any OpenTelemetry backend. The trace catalog
-(`traceSpanMeta`, `traceAttributeMeta`, `traceEventMeta`) names and describes everything a record
-holds, so a viewer never invents its own wording.
+const events = runTurn(
+  { profile: "support.agent", input: { text: "Why did the export fail?" } },
+  { vault: hostKeyVault },
+);
+```
 
-`host` profiles accept only `sanitizeInput`, `redactSensitive`, `network`, and `taint`, because
-there's no model output to check.
+### Save continuation state
 
-### How the guardrails are tested
+Keep portable conversation history when a protocol supplies native state.
+A **checkpoint** contains versioned native state and identifies its covered history prefix.
+Save the returned `providerState` checkpoint beside that history. Send both on the next request.
+The kernel validates the checkpoint's protocol, provider, model, connection, key slot, version, and covered history.
 
-Security claims are only as good as the tests behind them. Theorem checks its own boundary
-several ways:
+On a mismatch, the kernel rebuilds from portable history and emits a `provider_state_rebuilt` warning.
+Set `providerContinuation.history` to `provider` to resume from the checkpoint alone when the provider stores the conversation.
+A failed or incomplete model step cannot authorize pending client tools.

-## Provider Adapters
-
-Theorem ships the adapters but never the keys. You pass credentials when you bind a profile:
-
-```ts
-import { createProvider, runSession } from "@theoremjs/agents";
-
-// Turns: text, image, and speech profiles.
-const provider = createProvider(
-  profile,
-  {
-    vault: hostKeyVault, // one vault for every provider, OpenRouter included
-    openAiGateway: { siteName: "Support" }, // optional OpenRouter headers; never a key
-    local: { baseUrl: hostResolvedLocalBaseUrl }, // only for local profiles; no default address
-  },
-  "deep", // optional model id from profile.models
-);
+## Documentation
 
-// Sessions: live profiles.
-const session = await runSession({ profile: "support.voice" }, { vault: hostKeyVault });
-```
+Use the [Theorem docs](https://theorem.masudlewis.com/docs) for task procedures.
 
-| Protocol + provider | Transport | Profile types |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `geminiInteractions` + `google` | Google Interactions API | text, image, speech |
-| `geminiLive` + `google` | Gemini Live over WebSocket (`runSession`) | live |
-| `openAi` + `openrouter` | OpenRouter chat completions via AI SDK Core; `/audio/speech` for speech | text, image, speech |
-| `openAi` + `local` | Any OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, LM Studio, …) | text |
-
-- **Per-model routing** — each entry in `profile.models` names its own protocol and provider, so one profile can mix Google and OpenRouter. `createProvider` binds the one you pick.
-- **Lazy loading** — adapters load on first use. Importing `createProvider` doesn't pull in Interactions, the AI SDK, or the local adapter.
-- **Key slots** — a profile names key slots (`key`, and `fallbackKey` for a retry on quota), and your vault fills them with keys, so the profile never holds one. Every model except a local one must name a slot; there is no flat key.
-- **Normalized events** — every transport emits the same `TurnEvent` types and a provider-neutral `stop`. Raw provider evidence is kept for citations where the normalized stream drops detail.
-- **No env reads** — Theorem doesn't read `OLLAMA_HOST` or any other variable. Resolve it yourself and pass `local.baseUrl`.
-- **Live** — `createProvider` rejects `geminiLive` bindings. Live profiles go through `runSession`, which handles setup, session resumption, context compression, and the outbound gate.

+For tool execution across several workers, pass a host-owned `ToolExecutionCoordinator` through the trusted request's `execution` option.
+The React server handler creates this service from its atomic session store.
+`ToolOperationIdentity` identifies the accepted invocation. `ToolOperationClaim` adds its worker token.
+`savedToolInvocationSchema` validates JSON dispatch evidence.
+`SavedToolInvocation` retains accepted request data and the final input used at dispatch.
+Use `toolInvocationHash` to compute the same canonical JSON digest as the coordinator.
+Use this evidence to check current resource access before you disclose a cached result.
+For browser effects, `PageToolExecution` issues a dispatch grant only after the claim.
+`PageToolDispatch` contains the grant ID and a pending `PageAnswer`. Host code supplies result delivery.
+The browser receives the final prepared arguments, then returns a result against that grant.
+Neither profile JSON nor a provider event can supply this service.
+`BeginToolOperationResult` reports whether a worker acquired the claim or an earlier operation already exists.
+`ToolOperationOutcome` retains the terminal event and a guarded `ModelToolResult` for replay.
+For a custom host replay path, call `authorizeToolReplay` before delivering a saved outcome.
+It checks current eligibility and disclosure without running handlers or preparation hooks.
+Its validator is `toolOperationOutcomeSchema`. `TerminalToolEvent` restricts the retained event to completion or failure.
+`ToolOperationUncertainty` records why a dispatched operation has no confirmed outcome.
+An unresolved claim never becomes an approval again. Check the destination before creating a replacement action.

-Migrating from per-turn `dynamicTools`? See
-[`docs/MIGRATION-tool-system.md`](docs/MIGRATION-tool-system.md).
-Ownership-boundary cut (playground out of package, quota/lexicon/composer)? See
-[`docs/MIGRATION-boundary.md`](docs/MIGRATION-boundary.md).
-
-Document health is enforced by `npm run lint:docs` — the **first** step of
-`npm run lint` / `deno task lint` (`docs/_map.mjs`):
-
-- Full production-file ownership (`mod.ts`, `src/**/*.ts`, `package.json`, docs-truth scripts)
-- Export parity with `package.json` and export-drift vs entry `mod.ts` files
-- Doc + **section** freshness on every code change (no Export-only gaming)
-- Behavioral sections require `contract_test` evidence (≥2 supports each)
-- Publish gates keep `docs/` and `src/**/*.md` out of npm/JSR (`verify-publish-bundle`)
-- Freshness diffs use a 32 MiB `git` buffer so large patches against `origin/main`
-  are not silently dropped (`ENOBUFS`)
-- Pre-commit runs `lint:docs` automatically (`prepare` installs the hook on `npm install`)
-
-The current branch refresh keeps the package README and the repo contract docs in
-step with the live runtime graph: docs-truth validates both the package boundary
-and the behavioral sections that changed in the guardrails, kernel, and preset
-surface.

-## Development
-
-```bash
-npm install
-npm run test
-npm run lint
-deno install
-deno publish --dry-run
-npm run build:npm
-cd npm && npm pack
-```
-
-To dry-run npm publish when the current version is already on the registry, bump to an ephemeral prerelease first (CI does this automatically):
-
-```bash
-cd npm
-npm version 0.0.0-pr.local --no-git-tag-version
-npm publish --dry-run --access public --tag ci-validate
-```
-
-PR CI runs JSR and npm dry-run checks in the required `publish-dry-run` job.
-Run the security scans locally (CI runs the same checks in the `Security` workflow):
-
-```bash
-semgrep scan --config p/typescript --config p/secrets --metrics=off --error \
-  --exclude tests --exclude npm --exclude playground --exclude react --exclude tmp \
-  src mod.ts scripts
-snyk test --all-projects --dev --exclude=playground,npm,tmp --severity-threshold=medium
-snyk code test --severity-threshold=medium
-npx stryker run stryker.guardrails.config.json --mutate src/guardrails/canary.ts --concurrency 4
-```
-
-The full guardrails sweep is about 4,600 mutants and takes over an hour on one machine, so
-mutate the files you touched locally before pushing. Merges to `main` rerun Stryker on the
-changed files, and the full sweep runs weekly or on demand with `gh workflow run mutation.yml --ref main`.
-
-Run the packaged CLI locally:
-
-```bash
-deno task agents --help
-# or after npm install -g / npx:
-# npx agents --help
-```
-
-Build the npm package from the Deno source (publish only from `npm/`):
-
-```bash
-npm run build:npm
-cd npm
-npm pack
-```
-
-Run an OpenRouter provider smoke test. The script reads `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` from the shell (or the `THEOREM_ENV_FILE` it names) into vault slot `openrouter`; Theorem itself never reads env, and the key stays off the command line, where `deno task` would echo it.
-
-```bash
-deno task verify:provider-smoke
-```
-
-The default smoke uses `perplexity/sonar` because it is broadly available on OpenRouter. Hosts can override both the profile-facing model id and provider-native id:
-
-```bash
-deno task verify:provider-smoke --model hostFastModel --api-id perplexity/sonar
-```

+**Facts and policy.** Provider facts may ship, such as prices, wire shapes, and protocol metadata. For example, see `@theoremjs/agents/presets/google`. Product policy may not ship: prompts, personas, end-user copy, demo apps, and channel behaviour. Every string that a user or a model reads is either supplied by the host or is an overridable default in the kernel labels (`overrideLabels`). Behavioural defaults are typed profile-schema fields. Optional packages, such as `studio/`, are inert extras. If you delete one, no kernel behaviour changes.

-Provider adapters load **lazily** on the first `complete` for that transport —
-`createProvider` and `@theoremjs/agents/providers` stay a thin barrel (`src/providers/mod.ts`);
-implementation modules (e.g. `google/interactions/`, `openrouter/`, `local/`) are
-not pulled in at import time.
+Provider definition and registration validate without opening transport (`src/kernel/protocols/provider.ts`). A protocol never holds a key, a key slot, or a base URL. The kernel signs each request with the registered provider's sign-in.
 
 Domain rules, delivery policy, product copy, database access, and session memory belong in your application, not in Theorem.
