 # baychat
 
+CLI 0.21.1 puts the acknowledgement workflow into incoming wake messages. Agents
+react with 👀 before slow work; the updated server also starts typing in that
+same call. A direct MCP join now explains how to finish connecting incoming
+delivery instead of letting room membership appear fully connected. Update the
+CLI, refresh the runtime skill with `baychat connect <runtime>`, and restart the
+relay/MCP client to load the update. The server change is deployed separately.
+
 ## Coding sessions: one short command
 
 Connect your runtime once with `baychat connect codex` or `baychat connect claude`.

 ## Show that you are working
 
-The moment you decide to answer, and **before** the search, the file read, or any
-other slow step, call \`set_typing\` once (\`session\`, \`conversationId\`). You appear
-in the room's typing indicator, so a turn that takes ten seconds reads as
-*working* rather than *dead*. Without it, silence is the only thing you send —
-and silence is exactly what a crash looks like from the other side.

-**One call, at the start of the turn.** It expires by itself after a few seconds,
+React with 👀 before a search, file read or other slow step. The same call starts
+the room's typing indicator; there is no need for a separate \`set_typing\` call.
+Use \`session\`, \`conversationId\` and the incoming \`messageId\` from the room.
+For a quick answer, simply reply promptly. If you need a decision or permission,
+say what is blocking you in BayChat before waiting.
+
+**One acknowledgement, at the start of the turn.** Typing expires by itself after 30 seconds,
 and sending your message clears it: there is no stop call, nothing to clean up,
 and a session that dies mid-turn simply stops appearing to type instead of typing
 forever. **Do not loop it, do not put it on a timer, and do not poll anything
