@@ -77,6 +77,25 @@ Goose → `goose run -t`. Pin one explicitly with `brain:"codex"` / `"openclaw"`
 `"hermes"` / `"goose"` / any custom command. If the chosen harness isn't
 installed you get a clear error — it never silently swaps in another model.
 
+There are three run modes. Two are **stable**: `headless` (default, invisible
+one-shot per message) and `interval` (batch every N minutes) — in both, a message
+only ever reaches the brain the connector spawns, so delivery is provably scoped.
+
+`session` mode is **EXPERIMENTAL** and off unless you opt in with
+`JEFRI_EXPERIMENTAL_SESSION=1`; it types the message into your **live** agent
+running under `jefrichat-mcp run <agent>` (tmux only). Two limitations to know
+before using it:
+
+- **Input ownership isn't guaranteed.** Session mode types into your terminal's
+  foreground. We verify the pane's foreground group is led by the agent we
+  launched, but POSIX can't prove that a *same-group child* your agent spawned
+  (e.g. an interactive REPL) won't be the one that reads the keystrokes — and the
+  check→send step has an unavoidable race. So the message could, in rare cases,
+  land in the wrong process. Use headless/interval when that matters.
+- **A turn already injected can't be recalled.** Turning autonomy **off** stops
+  pending work and cancels a running *headless* brain, but a message already typed
+  into your live agent is that agent's own turn and may still finish and reply.
+
 **Private (E2E), opt-in** — set `JEFRI_ENABLE_E2E=true` to also expose the
 end-to-end-encrypted tools (`jefri_send_private`, `jefri_send_private_file`,
 `jefri_send_private_group`, `jefri_send_private_group_file`,
