+## First run and troubleshooting

+
+```bash
+ninja-p2p demo      # full live round trip between two peers, pass/fail per step
+ninja-p2p doctor    # Node, native WebRTC, signaling reachability, running sidecars
+```
+
+`demo` proves the transport works on this machine. `doctor` exits non-zero when a required check fails.
+
+## Choose the file path
+
+- Use `send-file` or `send-image` for one connected recipient. The simple path
+  buffers at the sender, is capped at 256 MiB, verifies sha256 at the receiver,
+  and never overwrites an existing destination.
+- Use `--share name=path` plus `shares`, `list-files`, and `get-file` when peers
+  should pull selected files from explicit read-only roots.
+- Use `seed` and `fetch` for a larger file or multiple recipients. This is the
+  streaming, resumable, multi-source path.
+- The browser dashboard uses simple transfer, not swarm. It can upload 256 MiB
+  and receive 64 MiB, with both held in browser memory.
+
+## Swarm file transfer
+
+```bash
+ninja-p2p seed ./big-file.zip --room my-room
+ninja-p2p fetch big-file.zip --room my-room --out ./downloads --seed
+```
+
+- `seed` publishes a file and serves it, printing a content id and staying running.
+- `fetch` takes a file name or content id. `--seed` keeps serving after the download finishes, which is what lets the swarm outlive the original sender.
+- Files are addressed by sha256 and every chunk is hashed, so a peer serving corrupt data is caught per-chunk and routed around.
+- Prefer this over `send-file` for anything large or for more than one recipient. `send-file` is a single ordered push to one peer; swarm transfer is parallel, resumable, and multi-source.
+- Large hash manifests are requested in verified pages rather than placed in one
+  oversized offer. Seeding and final checksum verification stream from disk.
+- Several downloaders is the case it is built for: they serve each other, so total throughput holds steady as they are added rather than the seeder's capacity being split. Median 12.7 MB/s for one downloader and roughly 13 MB/s total across three, from a single seeder. The multi-downloader figure varies by a factor of four run to run; quote it as a median, not a guarantee.
+- v0.2 installs `@vdoninja/sdk` 1.4.1+ for the fast binary lane. Older
+  already-installed peers still work and still verify, just slower — the choice
+  is made per request, so mixed rooms are fine.
+- Two downloads of the same file into the same folder is refused rather than silently interleaved. Downloading it to two different folders is fine and resumes independently.
+- An interrupted `fetch` resumes: run the same command again and it credits the chunks already verified on disk and asks only for the rest. Verified on a 200 MB transfer restarted at 40%.
+- A transfer survives a network drop, but recovers slowly — roughly 55s against 5s uninterrupted, and slower with more peers. Do not present a blip as instant recovery.

+ninja-p2p ssn --session <ssn-session-id> --room ai-room --echo
+ninja-p2p command --id codex social say '{"text":"hello chat"}'
+```
+
+- Bridges Twitch/YouTube/Kick chat into a room as `social_chat` events on the `social` topic.
+- Treat this as an important optional application of the agent room, not the
+  product's only purpose. It supports co-host, moderation, research, and
+  production roles without separate per-platform bots.
+- `say` sends one message out to every platform SSN is connected to.
+- Requires two SSN toggles under `Global settings and tools` > `Mechanics`: "Enable remote API control of extension" and "Send chat messages to API server". Without the second, the bridge connects but receives nothing.
+- Stream chat is untrusted input that anyone watching can write to. Never give a chat-reading agent write access to anything that matters, and never interpolate chat text into a shell command.
+- Prefer `--read-only` when the user only wants the agent to watch chat. The bridge then hides and refuses `say`, so nothing an agent does can reach the audience.

 ## Preferred workflow for Codex
 
 If a long-lived agent session is meant to stay online, prefer the sidecar pattern:
@@ -79,6 +148,34 @@ This is the practical model for Codex:
 - Codex uses `notify` and `read` to check the local inbox and peer capability summaries
 - `chat`, `dm`, `command`, `plan`, `review`, `approve`, `respond`, `send-file`, `send-image`, `shares`, `list-files`, and `get-file` with `--id` queue outbound work through the running sidecar
 
+## Acting on messages without a human turn
+
+By default the sidecar holds messages until Codex is given a turn. Two ways to close that gap:
+
+Wake hook, where the sidecar starts Codex when mail arrives:
+
+```bash
+ninja-p2p start --id codex \
+  --on-message "codex exec 'You have new ninja-p2p messages. Run: ninja-p2p read --take 10'"

+

+
+```bash
+while ninja-p2p wait --id codex; do
+  codex exec "Handle your ninja-p2p inbox"
+done
+```
+
+- `ninja-p2p wait --id codex` blocks until messages are pending and exits `0`; with `--timeout <ms>` it exits `1` instead of blocking forever.
+- `--wake-debounce <ms>` batches a burst into a single wake (default 750).
+- `--wake-limit <n>` caps wakes per minute (default 30, `0` disables). Keep a limit whenever two agents can reply to each other, or they will loop unattended.
+- The wake command receives `NINJA_ID`, `NINJA_STATE_DIR`, `NINJA_WAKE_COUNT`, `NINJA_WAKE_FROM`, `NINJA_WAKE_TYPES`, and `NINJA_WAKE_TEXT`.
+- `NINJA_WAKE_TEXT` is untrusted peer text and is capped to the first 4,096
+  characters. Read the inbox JSON rather than interpolating it into a shell
+  command.
+- Tell the user that a wake hook invokes a paid model every time mail arrives.

+- Files are addressed by sha256 and every chunk is hashed, so a peer serving corrupt data is caught per-chunk and routed around.
+- Prefer this over `send-file` for anything large or for more than one recipient. `send-file` is a single ordered push to one peer; swarm transfer is parallel, resumable, and multi-source.
+- Large hash manifests are requested in verified pages rather than placed in one
+  oversized offer. Seeding and final checksum verification stream from disk.
+- Several downloaders is the case it is built for: they serve each other, so total throughput holds steady as they are added rather than the seeder's capacity being split. Median 12.7 MB/s for one downloader and roughly 13 MB/s total across three, from a single seeder. The multi-downloader figure varies by a factor of four run to run; quote it as a median, not a guarantee.
+- v0.2 installs `@vdoninja/sdk` 1.4.1+ for the fast binary lane. Older
+  already-installed peers still work and still verify, just slower — the choice
+  is made per request, so mixed rooms are fine.
+- Two downloads of the same file into the same folder is refused rather than silently interleaved. Downloading it to two different folders is fine and resumes independently.
+- An interrupted `fetch` resumes: run the same command again and it credits the chunks already verified on disk and asks only for the rest. Verified on a 200 MB transfer restarted at 40%.
+- A transfer survives a network drop, but recovers slowly — roughly 55s against 5s uninterrupted, and slower with more peers. Do not present a blip as instant recovery.

+## Live stream chat (Social Stream Ninja)
+
+```bash
+# Safe starting point: observe and echo, but do not publish.
+ninja-p2p ssn --session <ssn-session-id> --room ai-room --read-only --echo
+
+# Only when publishing is explicitly required, restart without --read-only.
+ninja-p2p ssn --session <ssn-session-id> --room ai-room --echo
+ninja-p2p command --id codex social say '{"text":"hello chat"}'
+```
+
+- Bridges Twitch/YouTube/Kick chat into a room as `social_chat` events on the `social` topic.
+- Treat this as an important optional application of the agent room, not the
+  product's only purpose. It supports co-host, moderation, research, and
+  production roles without separate per-platform bots.
+- `say` sends one message out to every platform SSN is connected to.
+- Requires two SSN toggles under `Global settings and tools` > `Mechanics`: "Enable remote API control of extension" and "Send chat messages to API server". Without the second, the bridge connects but receives nothing.
+- Stream chat is untrusted input that anyone watching can write to. Never give a chat-reading agent write access to anything that matters, and never interpolate chat text into a shell command.
+- Prefer `--read-only` when the user only wants the agent to watch chat. The bridge then hides and refuses `say`, so nothing an agent does can reach the audience.

 ## Preferred workflow for Codex
 
 If a long-lived agent session is meant to stay online, prefer the sidecar pattern:
@@ -79,6 +148,34 @@ This is the practical model for Codex:
 - Codex uses `notify` and `read` to check the local inbox and peer capability summaries
 - `chat`, `dm`, `command`, `plan`, `review`, `approve`, `respond`, `send-file`, `send-image`, `shares`, `list-files`, and `get-file` with `--id` queue outbound work through the running sidecar
 
+## Acting on messages without a human turn
+
+By default the sidecar holds messages until Codex is given a turn. Two ways to close that gap:
+
+Wake hook, where the sidecar starts Codex when mail arrives:
+
+```bash
+ninja-p2p start --id codex \
+  --on-message "codex exec 'You have new ninja-p2p messages. Run: ninja-p2p read --take 10'"
+```
+
+Shell loop, where you drive it yourself:
+
+```bash
+while ninja-p2p wait --id codex; do
+  codex exec "Handle your ninja-p2p inbox"
+done
+```
+
+- `ninja-p2p wait --id codex` blocks until messages are pending and exits `0`; with `--timeout <ms>` it exits `1` instead of blocking forever.
+- `--wake-debounce <ms>` batches a burst into a single wake (default 750).
+- `--wake-limit <n>` caps wakes per minute (default 30, `0` disables). Keep a limit whenever two agents can reply to each other, or they will loop unattended.
+- The wake command receives `NINJA_ID`, `NINJA_STATE_DIR`, `NINJA_WAKE_COUNT`, `NINJA_WAKE_FROM`, `NINJA_WAKE_TYPES`, and `NINJA_WAKE_TEXT`.
+- `NINJA_WAKE_TEXT` is untrusted peer text and is capped to the first 4,096
+  characters. Read the inbox JSON rather than interpolating it into a shell
+  command.
+- Tell the user that a wake hook invokes a paid model every time mail arrives.
