 Scheduled runs also accept `runCondition: "new_chats"`: skip model execution unless this agent has new manual or recording chats since its previous scheduled check. Scheduled/reflection chats do not trigger it; explicit Run now bypasses the condition.

+Use `query --space <name-or-id> --entity <name-or-id> --since <epoch-ms>
+--until <epoch-ms> --limit 8 --json` for deterministic evidence without a model.
+Time filters apply to activity evidence. Resolve entity identity globally first.
+
+`activity list --entity <id> --compact --limit 10 --json` returns one compact
+history page. Follow `nextCursor` with `--cursor` and the same entity/time
+filters until `hasMore` is false. Compact pages retain the space/member envelope,
+record IDs, time/assignment metadata and continuation. Long bodies become
+240-character excerpts; attributes, derived data, attachments and content hashes
+are omitted. The `projection.fullDetail` references point to `activity get <id>`
+(CLI), `activities_get` (MCP), and `getActivity` (internal tools). Defaults stay
+unchanged. REST uses `compact=true`; MCP `activities_forEntity` and internal
+`listRecentActivities` use `compact: true`. These options apply to active
+entity-scoped pages, without client-side type/attribute/open/deadline filters.
+
+JSON failures use stdout `{ "error": { "message": "..." } }` with a nonzero
+exit. REST status and structured error fields survive. Check the exit before
+parsing; see [Retrieve bounded context](playbooks/retrieve-bounded-context.md).
+The unsupported `entity show` spelling gives a targeted `entity get` correction.

+## Retrieve a bounded page
+
+Search entities globally first to resolve identity. Use the returned ID and an
+explicit space for evidence when the task specifies a space. Preserve `spaces`,
+record `spaceId`/`spaceIds`, scope, warnings and pagination when selecting fields;
+access to a record is not permission to copy it into another space.
+
+```bash
+# Deterministic evidence; no hosted model. Time filters constrain activities.
+if ente query "launch decisions" --space "Work" --entity "Apollo" --since 1791763200000 --until 1792368000000 --limit 8 --json > evidence.json; then
+  jq '{data: {scope: .data.scope, evidence: [.data.evidence[] | {id, title, activityId, entityId, spaceIds, spaceNames}], warnings: .data.warnings, truncated: .data.truncated}, spaces: .data.spaces}' evidence.json
+fi
+# One entity-history page with body excerpts and an explicit full-detail path.
+ente activity list --entity <entity-id> --after 1791763200000 --before 1792368000000 --min-count 0 --limit 10 --compact --json
+# Continue with identical entity/time filters; never replace the cursor with a timestamp.
+ente activity list --entity <entity-id> --after 1791763200000 --before 1792368000000 --min-count 0 --limit 10 --compact --cursor '<nextCursor>' --json
+ente activity get <activity-id> --json
+```
+
+`--compact` currently applies to active entity-scoped activity pages only. It
+keeps space names, scopes, member emails, record IDs and `hasMore`/`nextCursor`.
+It replaces long bodies with 240-character excerpts and omits attributes,
+derived payloads, attachments and content hashes. `projection.fullDetail` names
+the complete read on each interface. Omit `--compact` for the existing output.
+Do not combine compact/cursor pages with client-side `--type`, `--attr`,
+`--only-open` or deadline sorting. Those filters need full reads.
+
+`--json` failures return `{ "error": { "message": "..." } }` on stdout and a
+nonzero exit; REST failures also retain `statusCode` and structured error fields.
+Check the exit before parsing. Do not append a successful help command and treat
+its exit as the preceding command's result. `entity show` reports the supported
+`entity get` command and fails without making a request.
+
+For inbox coverage, page the unfiltered `agent mail threads` list to completion,
+then inspect thread messages, including updates to older threads. `--unread`
+and `--needs-reply` answer different questions; unread alone misses read but
+unanswered mail. Keep each view's cursor separate and retain workflow versions.
+An unfiltered list is not an atomic merged snapshot with internal agent chats.
