+# The library and links
+
+The project's references (papers, photos), and links to places in them.
+
+## Files and links
+
+- **File**: a PDF, or a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF image (never SVG), at most 50 MB, named by the
+  SHA-256 of its bytes (`sha`). The server keeps the bytes, never the project; its record (title,
+  type, size, pages, who added it, where from) and links are events of the review's logs. A
+  file never changes: a revised paper is another file.
+- **Link**: a **subject** — `decl(<full name>)`, `ns(<namespace>)` or `file(<module prefix>)` — to
+  a **place**: a PDF page with a quote, a region, or both; or an image, whole or a region.
+- **Region**: `[left, top, right, bottom]`, fractions of the page from its top left (0–1), as
+  `library/text`'s word boxes.
+- **Quote**: the text, or `{text, before?, after?}`: words around it tell repeated text apart.
+- **Label**: as the panel shows it ("📄 Theorem 3, p. 12"); default: the page, the quote's first words.
+
+Reading: any level. Advise: add files, make links; edit, archive and remove your own. Full: others'
+too (403 otherwise). Recorded in your log, as an agent's.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+Under `/api/agent/`. MCP: `library` (`list`, `file`, `save`, `text`, `search`, `page`, `clip`,
+`add_url`, `add_file`, `edit`, `archive`), `links` (`list`, `make`, `edit`, `remove`).
+
+| endpoint | what |
+|---|---|
+| `GET library` | the files (each with `have`: whether this server has its bytes — one added elsewhere comes through the logs without — and its link count), the archived apart, `used` and `limit` in bytes |
+| `GET library/file?sha=` | a file's record and every link into it |
+| `GET library/bytes?sha=` | the file (MCP `save` writes it to a path you give) |
+| `GET library/text?sha=&page=` | a PDF page: `text`, `words` (`[text, left, top, right, bottom]`), `lines` (each line's start among the words), `pages`, `size` in points |
+| `GET library/search?sha=&q=&limit=` | every match of `q` in the PDF (case and line breaks loosely): `page`, `boxes` of its words, `text`, `before`, `after` |
+| `GET library/page?sha=&page=&width=` | the page as a PNG, 400, 800, 1200 (default), 1600 or 2000 px wide (MCP `page`: as an image) |
+| `GET library/clip?sha=&page=&region=&width=` | a region as a PNG, `region=left,top,right,bottom` |
+| `GET links?subject=&file=` | a subject's or a file's links, in the order made; all without either |
+| `POST library/url {url}` | add the file at an address, fetched once (http and https only, no private or local address, 60 s); an arXiv abstract gives its PDF. Same bytes again: `existed: true` |
+| `POST library/upload?name=&sha=` | add a file, **its bytes the body** (`curl --data-binary @paper.pdf -H 'content-type: application/pdf'`). `sha`: only the bytes of a file a link names that this server lacks (409 otherwise). MCP `add_file` sends a file from your machine |
+| `POST library/edit {sha, title}` | retitle (at first the PDF's title, else the file name); a note carrying only this file, whose text is its title or added name, follows (an edit by VisualProof); written words stay |
+| `POST library/archive {sha, on}` | archive (`on` true, default): nothing deleted, it leaves the library, its links say so; `false` restores |
+| `POST link {subject, file, page?, region?, quote?, label?}` | a PDF's link is at a page, an image's at none; not to an archived file (409) |
+| `POST link/edit {id, label?, page?, region?, quote?, subject?}` | `null` removes a part of the place |
+| `POST unlink {id}` | remove a link |
+
+A new file comes with a project note on the Project's ring, collapsed, titled by the file, under
+your name ([notes](notes.md)); another view shows it where a link brings it or it is added
+(`views/items`, [views](views.md)).
+
+```json
+POST /api/agent/link
+{ "subject": "decl(flt_regular)", "file": "<sha256>", "page": 4,
+  "quote": { "text": "theorem flt_regular", "before": "… for regular primes. -/" } }
+→ { "ok": true, "link": { "id": "l0b747fac7736", …, "by": "Claude", "agent": true, "fileTitle": "…", … } }
+```
+
+## What people see
+
+A declaration's links show in its panel (References), a cluster's in its own; opening a
+declaration's source opens its first link (else its innermost linked cluster's) beside it.
+`POST /api/agent/view {"paper": {"link": "<id>"}}` ([following](following.md)) opens the reference
+window there for your followers, the link lit, beside the source window if open.
+
+Links follow a declaration's rename, and a cluster's when a build moves all of it into one other
+cluster; a link whose subject is gone goes to the lost-and-found ([history](history.md)). The export
+([export](export.md)) prints a declaration's links under it ("Reference: …"), a cluster's under its
+section, the cited files at the end ("References").

+# VisualProof's MCP server
+
+`GET /api/agent/mcp` serves it (a token of your own): one file, `visualproof-mcp.mjs`, no
+dependencies, Node 18 or later. An MCP client runs it as a local (stdio) server with, in its
+environment, `VISUALPROOF_URL` (the server), `VISUALPROOF_TOKEN` (your token) and
+`VISUALPROOF_WAIT_SECONDS` (the longest `wait_for_message` waits: 1800 by default; **50** for a
+client that ends a tool call after a minute whatever it reports, such as Claude Desktop).
+
+It takes its tools from the server (`GET /api/agent/mcp/tools`: the instructions for the model —
+the server's address and project, who you are and when your token expires —, each tool with the
+request it makes, and the documentation's topics), so it never needs an update when the API
+changes. A tool of one domain's operations takes an **`action`**; each tool offers only the actions
+your token's level allows, with the arguments they take, and a tool that allows none is not offered.
+The server still refuses what your level does not allow.
+
+## The tools
+
+Each wraps the endpoints of a topic, which says what their answers hold. `*`: the default action.
+
+| tool | actions (level beyond read) | endpoints, topic |
+|---|---|---|
+| `docs` | — (`topic`; none: the index) | `GET docs`, this documentation |
+| `companion` | — | `GET companion`, [following](following.md) |
+| `search` | — | `GET search`, [reading](reading.md) |
+| `declaration` | — (`name`, or `names` for several) | `GET declaration`, [reading](reading.md) |
+| `source` | `source`\*, `context`, `module` | `GET source`, `context`, `module`, [reading](reading.md) |
+| `lean` | `describe`, `print` | `GET describe`, `print`, [reading](reading.md) |
+| `refs` | `uses`, `users` | `GET uses`, `users`, [tcb](tcb.md) |
+| `review` | `targets`, `tcb`, `keys`, `why` | `GET targets`, `tcb`, `keys`, `why`, [tcb](tcb.md) |
+| `activity` | — | `GET activity`, [history](history.md) |
+| `opinion` (advise) | — (`name`…, or `opinions` for several) | `POST opinion`, [advice](advice.md) |

+| `reply`, `status`, `conversation` | — | `POST reply`, `POST status`, `GET conversation`, [talking](talking.md) |
+| `notes` | `list`; `write`, `edit`, `move`, `delete` (advise; anyone's at full) | `GET notes`, `POST note`, `note/edit`, `note/move`, `note/delete`, [notes](notes.md) |
+| `views` | `list`, `read`, `open`; `create`, `duplicate`, `rename`, `delete`, `scope`, `items`, `focus`, `link`, `arrange`, `relayout` (full) | `GET views`, `views/view`, `POST views/…`, [views](views.md) |

+| `export` | `model`, `typeset`, `job`, `file` | `export`, `export/job`, `export/file`, [export](export.md) |
+
+Paths are under `/api/agent/`. `GET /api/agent/history/graph` has no tool (it is large: ask it over
+HTTP when you need a past build's whole graph).
+
+- **Files.** `export` (action `file`) and `library` (action `save`) do not hand the model a file's
+  bytes: they save it as `saveTo` names it, an absolute path on your machine, never over a file that
+  exists. `library` (action `add_file`) reads the file `path` names on your machine and sends its
+  bytes. `library` (actions `page`, `clip`) hands you the page as an image.
+- **Resources.** The documentation is also offered as MCP resources, `visualproof://docs` (the
+  index) and `visualproof://docs/<topic>`, Markdown.
+- **The instructions** it gives the client (at most 2,048 characters, as Claude Code keeps them) say
+  where you are and who, to listen, how to answer, and that the `docs` tool explains the rest.
+
+## `wait_for_message`
+
+No arguments. It holds your inbox open, in requests of at most 50 s, until a message comes, and
+returns at once:
+
+```
+A message from the page, after 3.0 s of listening:
+
+Alice wrote, on the view "TCB of flt_regular", flt_regular's view, looking at IsRegularNumber (message 1, 2026-10-12T22:21:31.672Z):
+Why does flt_regular need IsRegularNumber at all?
+
+Answer with reply (move your own view to what you explain first, with view), then call wait_for_message again.
+```
+
+or, once the longest wait is over, `Nothing: no one wrote in 30 min. Call wait_for_message again to
+go on listening.` The first call after you join may bring the earlier messages first ("Earlier in
+this conversation, before you joined — read it as context, and do not answer it again: …"), and a
+new conversation its notice; neither is to be answered ([talking](talking.md)).
+
+- Its waits name its session (`X-VisualProof-Session`, a random id per process), so VisualProof
+  knows a new session even when the one before ended without saying it left.
+- While it waits it sends `notifications/progress` about every 30 s (`VISUALPROOF_PROGRESS_SECONDS`)
+  with the request's `progressToken`, so a client that ends idle calls does not end it (Claude
+  Code's stdio idle timeout, 30 minutes, is reset by progress).
+- A server it cannot reach is asked again within the wait (after 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 s). A call the
+  client cancels (`notifications/cancelled`: Esc in Claude Code) ends its request at once,
+  unanswered. A second wait takes the first one's place, which says so (`replaced`).
+- When the token ends it says so (who revoked it, or when it expired), and so does every wait
+  after. When its client goes (stdin closes, or a signal) it tells the server you left: offline at
+  once. An `initialize` asking for a revision it does not speak is answered with `2025-11-25`.
+
+## Installing it
+
+`GET /api/agent/mcp/install` says how, per client, as plain text; Share's prompt gives Claude Code's
+steps: download the file to `~/.visualproof/visualproof-mcp.mjs`, `claude mcp add --env
+VISUALPROOF_URL=<server> --env VISUALPROOF_TOKEN=<token> --env VISUALPROOF_WAIT_SECONDS=1800
+--transport stdio visualproof -- node "$HOME/.visualproof/visualproof-mcp.mjs"`, then the person
+restarts the session in the same folder (`claude --continue`): MCP servers load when a session
+starts. The agent then listens at once: `wait_for_message`, `reply`, `wait_for_message`…
+
+While `wait_for_message` waits, what the person types in Claude Code waits until the call returns,
+unless they press Esc, which ends the wait: the agent does what they ask, then listens again. Claude
+Code (2.1.212 and later) moves a call still running after two minutes to the background: the agent
+may end its turn, what the person typed is taken, and the wait's result arrives as a task
+notification that gives the agent a turn of its own. The agent does not call `wait_for_message`
+again meanwhile: a second wait would take the first one's place.
+
+An MCP server older than 0.5.0 does not know actions: download it again and restart the session.

+# Notes
+
+Writing notes that point people at something; listing, editing, moving, deleting them. MCP:
+`notes` (actions `write`, `list`, `edit`, `move`, `delete`).
+
+## `POST /api/agent/note` (needs advise)
+
+Written as from the canvas menu, marked as yours, in Activity under your name; it moves nobody's
+view.
+
+- **A note of the project** (no `view`; the default): one item, belonging to views as declarations
+  do. One place per clustering: in a cluster at a spot kept as a fraction of its radius (the same
+  on every board), or on the board's ring at an angle; under the other clustering, until placed,
+  on the ring at the angle of what it is about. Shown on the Project always; on another view where
+  its scope gives it (`why` in `GET notes`; naming a declaration in backticks does not count) or
+  where added (`in`, or `views/items`: [views](views.md)), unless taken out. Where the board does not draw its cluster, or at the top
+  level: on the ring, toward what it is linked to there.
+- **A view's own note** (`view`): on that board alone, in a cluster at an offset in its local
+  coordinates, or at a spot of the board.
+- **Attached** (`decl`, either kind): placed at the declaration under every clustering, shown on
+  every board holding it, its icon at its offset (closer on screen as the zoom goes out) with a
+  dashed leader; a dot while the declaration's cluster is too small on screen. A rename
+  carries it; with the declaration gone otherwise, it falls back to its places beside it in its own
+  cluster under both clusterings.
+
+```json
+{ "text": "every use of `MyProject.Example.halve` in the rounding layer assumes rounding down",
+  "name": "MyProject.Example.halve" }

+
+| field | meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `text` | ≤ 2,000 characters: plain text, **bold**, *italics*, `code`; a full name in backticks links; no HTML |
+| `view` | a view's id: its own note |
+| `in` | (project note) the view you write it in, which it is added to (at advise), so it shows there wherever put; left out, the Project's and what the scopes give |
+| `clustering` | (project note) `namespace` (default) or `module`: the one it is placed under |
+| `cluster`, `at` | a cluster key in that clustering (a namespace, or a folder: its modules' path with dots) and `[x, y]`: project note, a fraction of the radius (`[0.5, -0.3]`: right, a bit up; default `[0, 0]`); view's note, an offset from the centre — or — |
+| `name` | a declaration: just beside its point, in its cluster by that clustering (view's note: on a view holding it) — or — |
+| `ring` | (project note, top level) degrees clockwise from the top (`0` top, `90` right); `true`: no place by that clustering, at its cluster's angle under the other — or — |
+| `decl` | attach: a full name, or `{"name": …, "at": [x, y]}`, the icon's offset from the point in board units (a point is 10 across, neighbours ~10.3 apart; x right, y down; kept along its direction 12–2400 units away, to 0.1; default `[24, -24]`). A person's drag keeps it attached within 64 units at middle zooms, held to 48–160 px on screen (2400 units at the least zoom). Project note: its places go beside it under both clusterings; view's note: its board must hold it. 404 unknown name; 400 with another place — or — |
+| `at` alone | (view's note) `[x, y]` in its board's world coordinates, in the innermost open cluster there, or on the canvas |
+| `open` | `true` (default): text shown; `false`: collapsed to its first words |
+| `card` | the card's centre from the icon's, `[x, y]` in screen pixels (x right, y down), each within ±600; default up-right (outward on the ring) |
+| `carries` | ≤ 8, none twice: `{"file": "<sha256>"}` (or the bare hash) for an image or whole PDF of the library; `{"file": …, "page": 10, "region": [0.11, 0.16, 0.89, 0.28]}` for a clip of a PDF page, in fractions from its top left (word boxes: `library/text`, [library](library.md)). Each in the library, not archived; an image whole; a page the PDF has (400 says why). People see it under the text (a PDF as its first page and title); a click opens it in the reference window (a clip at its place) |
+
+Boards are read as laid out at rest (pins, hidden levels); a project note placed by `name` or
+`cluster` is placed on the Project. When a build moves all of a note's cluster to another
+(a folder or namespace renamed), the note follows (an edit by VisualProof); its cluster otherwise
+gone, it shows in the nearest one left, or on the ring. A key never stands for the other
+clustering's cluster (a folder and a namespace can share one).
+
+Answer `{ok, id, kind, text, open, by, agent, at, carries, card, decl, here, …}`, plus `places`
+(per clustering `{cluster, at, around}`, `{ring}` or null), `why` and `in?` for a project note, or
+`view`, `clustering` for a view's. `decl`: `{name, at}` or null. `here`, its place on the board (the Project's, its view's, or the `in` one): `{decl, at}`;
+`{cluster, at}` or `{cluster, offset}`; `{spot}`; or `{ring, about}` — `ring` the angle it was let
+go at, or null: at the angle of `about` (`{links}`, subjects a carried file is linked to there, else
+`{clustering, cluster}`), else by order of writing. 404: unknown view, cluster or
+declaration; 409: the view holds 300 notes, or the project 1,000.

+
+`{view, title, items?, notes: [{id, kind, text, open, by, agent, at, edited?, carries, card, decl,

+shows (left out, the Project: all) and its own. `all=1`: every project note, `here` and `why` null
+where not shown.
+
+- `why`: `project` (the Project holds all), `decl` (attached to a declaration on the board),
+  `cluster` (its cluster is on it), `ring` (top level here; its cluster under the other clustering
+  is on the board), `link` (carries a file linked to what the board holds), `added`.
+- `items`: the view's `{add, remove}`, by id. `card`: null by default. `carries`: each with `what`
+  (`image`, `pdf`, `clip`), the file's `title` (null without a library record), `archived` where so.
+
+## `POST /api/agent/note/edit`, `/note/move`, `/note/delete` (needs advise)
+
+Your own notes at advise, anyone's at full. `id` names the note; `view` too for a view's own.
+
+- `edit {id, view?, text?, carries?, open?, card?, kind?}`: `carries`: the whole list (`[]`: none;
+  items already carried stay whatever became of their file; additions are checked); `card: null`:
+  the default. `kind: "view"` with `view` makes a project note that
+  view's own (Only in this view; it leaves every view's items); `kind: "project"` makes a view's
+  note the project's (In every view), added to that view. A switch keeps text, author, what it
+  carries and its place on that board (its cluster under the board's clustering, none under the
+  other; or the ring at its angle); 409 where that board does not show it.
+- `move {id, view?, clustering?, cluster? + at?, name?, ring?, decl?, detach?, card?}`: a project
+  note moves under one clustering (default `namespace`) on every board of it, the other untouched;
+  a view's note on its board (`name`, `cluster` + `at`, `at`). `decl` attaches either kind, as for
+  `note`; `decl: null` or `detach: true` detaches it (back
+  at its place under each clustering), as does any other place given. `card` moves the card,
+  with a place or alone (the note then stays, attached or not).
+- `delete {id, view?}`: for everyone; a project note leaves every view's items.
+
+Activity records edits of text or carries, and deletions (with the text); not opening, collapsing,
+moving, attaching, detaching, card moves or kind switches. Edits and switches keep the attachment.

+
+Also `declaration?names=` (same answer). Up to 25, comma-separated (a comma inside `«…»` belongs to

+  resolved, a `variable` per binder) or read from the text, per its `precision`.
+- Advice records `context`, a blank line, `text` (just `text` if `context` is ""), as people's do.
+- `compiled: false` (with `note`): file changed since compiled; the present text, found by name;
+  advice waits for the next build. Outside the project: 404 (use `describe`, `print`).
+- A unit (`also`, `alsoNote`): what the same command generated, listed with it (`print` each);
+  advice on the unit covers them, its hash changes with them. `generatedNote`: generated by a
+  command none of whose declarations could fold it in; its source is the command's text.
+
+**At a past build** (`snapshot=<id>`, [History](history.md)): the text it compiled, at its recorded
+place (`line`, `endLine`), found by the name then, the name now via renames (`asked`: yours), or as
+generated by its command; plus `snapshot` (`{id, at, commit}`), `check`, `note`; `context` from
+that text (`GET context`: latest build only). `check`: `lake` (Lake hash matches) or `places` (no
+hash kept, a build from before texts were kept: the one candidate agreeing with every recorded
+place: imports, declaration bounds, doc comments, names). Text not kept (edited after the build and
+not in the commit, or no match): 404, `kept: false`, why in `error`, statement and doc then; never
+another text. Not reviewed: advice is on the latest build.
+
+## `GET /api/agent/context?name=`
+
+What is in force where it is written, taken apart, outermost first, each with the 1-based `line` of
+its command (what a section held ends with it): namespaces and sections; `open`s (`open … in` right
+before it: `in: true`; `open scoped`: `scoped`); `variable`s, binders as written; `universe`s;
+`set_option`s; commands holding to their section's end (`local`/`scoped` notation, instances,
+attributes, `include`, `omit`). `precision`:
+
+- `elaborated` (`exact: true`): the elaborator's scope before the command, as the usage pass read it
+  (file unchanged since): `open`s resolved (`open X` in `namespace A` is `open A.X` if that is a
+  namespace), one entry per `variable` binder with the names it `binds`, **`used: true` on variables
+  Lean included in this declaration**, `options` differing from Lake's for the module.
+- `text`: read up to the declaration's text (docstring, attributes), unelaborated (pass not run yet
+  or failed on the module, or file changed): `open`s and `variable` lines as written (comments out,
+  lines joined); included variables unknown.
+
+```json
+{"name": "FltRegular.CaseI.f0k₁", …, "line": 36, "imports": […], "precision": "elaborated", "exact": true, "namespace": "FltRegular.CaseI", "namespaces": ["FltRegular.CaseI", "FltRegular"],

+```
+
+- `opens[].namespaces`: graph namespaces it brings in (in `namespace A`, `open X` may mean `A.X`);
+  empty if none of the graph's names are under it. `blocks[].kind`: `namespace`, `section` (`name`
+  null if anonymous), `mutual`. `compiled: false` (with `note`): read from the present text, up to
+  where the name is found now.
+- Not listed: notation and instances from other files (an `open` brings what its namespace scopes);
+  `print` shows what Lean elaborated, names in full.
+
+## `GET /api/agent/module?name=` or `?of=<declaration>`
+
+A project module (or a declaration's): doc comments (`/-! … -/`) with their lines, imports,
+importers, declarations in file order (variants, weaker or stronger forms no TCB reaches). Doc
+comments up to 60,000 characters (`docsCut` if more). A file changed since compiled is read as it
+is now (`note`).
+
+```json
+{"name": "FltRegular.NumberTheory.RegularPrimes", …, "imports": [], "importedBy": ["FltRegular", …],
+ "docs": [{"line": 7, "endLine": 15, "text": "# Regular primes…"}], "count": 8, "declarations": [{"name": …, "kind": "def", "line": 27}, …]}
+```
+
+## `GET /api/agent/describe?name=&module=&wait=`
+
+Lean's hover: the signature with every implicit argument and instance, and the doc (`#check` in a
+scratch file importing the module). For abbreviated statements, external names (`ClassGroup`),
+folded names. `wait`: ms, default 20000, max 60000.
+
+Any Lean name (a constructor, a field, macro output). Module imported (`moduleChosen`: which and
+why): `module` if given (a module of the graph; an outside declaration is asked about in a project
+module importing it); else the declaration's own; else, for a name the graph lacks, the nearest
+declaration's it is under (`systemOfUnits.units`: `systemOfUnits`'s); else the root module.
+
+```json
+{"name": "systemOfUnits.units", "module": "…", "moduleChosen": "that of systemOfUnits, the declaration it is under",
+ "inGraph": false, "lean": "```lean\nsystemOfUnits.units … : Fin s → G\n```\n***\nThe family of units …"}
+```
+
+| status | when |
+|---|---|
+| 503 | Lean loading the module's imports (a minute, the first time): `Retry-After: 5`, `pending`; ask again. Or no Lean here (a saved graph) |
+| 502 | Lean failed or could not answer (the hint: what to use instead) |
+| 404 | unknown to Lean there: `lean` (what it said), `didYouMean` (graph names, the enclosing declaration first; `print` it for its fields and constructor) |
+| 400 | `name` or `module` not a Lean name (only full dotted names reach the scratch file), or `module` not in the graph |
+
+## `GET /api/agent/print?name=&module=&proofs=&wait=`
+
+`#print`: the declaration as Lean elaborated it, value and names in full: macro output (what a
+project's own command writes from one block), auto-bound implicits, a Prop-valued definition's
+proposition, a structure's fields and constructor, recorded attributes (`@[reducible]`). Any Lean
+name; module and `wait` as for `describe`. Proofs show as `⋯` (a TCB never looks inside one);
+`proofs=1` prints them. At most 50,000 characters, cut at a line's end, with
+`truncated: {shown, length}`.
+
+```json
+{"name": "IsRegularPrime", …, "moduleChosen": "its own", "inGraph": true, "proofs": false,
+ "lean": "def IsRegularPrime : ℕ → Prop :=\nfun p => IsRegularNumber p"}
+```
+
+`warnings` when Lean gave any. `seeAlso`: names generated from the same command that the value
+refers to (which `#print` shows only by name), to print in turn. 503 while Lean loads, 404 for an
+unknown name (as `describe`), 422 when Lean refused otherwise (`lean`: what it said).

+# Requests, answers and tokens
+
+How to talk to the API: the form of requests and answers, errors, tokens, and the three endpoints
+that describe the API itself. The rules are in the [index](README.md).
+
+## Requests and answers
+
+- `GET` parameters go in the query string, URL-encoded (`curl -G --data-urlencode name=…`).
+- A `POST` body is a JSON object, `content-type: application/json`, at most 1 MB (a larger one is
+  refused with 413).
+- Names are full Lean names (`FltRegular.CaseI.f0k₁`), as `search` returns them.
+- **A server that lets in only those given its link** (`--access-key-file`) answers 404 to
+  everything, `/api/agent` included, unless the request carries `Authorization: Bearer <key>` (the
+  key is the last part of the link you were given, `…/k/<key>`) or an agent token of its own,
+  `Authorization: Bearer vpa_…`.
+- Every answer is JSON — but the documentation, the MCP server's file and install text, and the
+  files you download. **Every error
+  is `{error, hint}`**: what went wrong and what to do. A name that does not exist answers 404 with
+  `didYouMean` (the same name in another case, a typo or two away, then search hits). A name the
+  graph folds into a declaration ([words](words.md), Folded names) is answered for that declaration.
+- **503 with `Retry-After`** (and `retryAfter` in the body): ask again after that many seconds — the
+  graph is still being read, or Lean is still loading a module's imports.
+- **Several at once.** One request can carry what would otherwise take several:
+  `declaration?include=…` (a declaration with its source, context, references and what Lean says),
+  `declaration?names=…` or `declarations?names=…` (up to 25), `POST opinion {opinions}` or
+  `POST opinions` (up to 100 pieces of advice). Each part or item is answered on its own: one that
+  fails says why, with its own `status`, and does not refuse the others.
+
+```bash
+H=(-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN")      # or: -H "X-VisualProof-Name: Claude" -H "X-VisualProof-Kind: agent"
+B=$VISUALPROOF/api/agent                   # the server's address (http://127.0.0.1:4173 by default), then /api/agent
+curl -s "${H[@]}" "$B"                                   # the entry
+curl -s "${H[@]}" -G "$B/declaration" --data-urlencode name=IsRegularPrime \
+  --data-urlencode include=source,context,uses
+curl -s "${H[@]}" -H "content-type: application/json" -X POST "$B/opinion" \
+  -d '{"name":"<a declaration>","verdict":"approve","comment":"<your reasons>"}'
+```
+
+The examples in these pages are real answers from a server showing
+[flt-regular](https://github.com/leanprover-community/flt-regular) at `bd81b78ba6` (Lean
+v4.33.0-rc2), shortened (`…`); the people (Alice, Bob) and what they marked are made up, and so is
+`MyProject.Example.halve` and what is said of it wherever a comment faults a declaration, so that no
+example faults a real one. The history's examples follow an edit made for them: one theorem
+deleted, another renamed.
+
+## Tokens
+
+Share in the page (*AI agent*) makes a token for one agent and a prompt that carries it. A token:
+
+- is `vpa_<id>_<secret>`, sent as `Authorization: Bearer vpa_…` with every request. It is a secret:
+  never print it, and store it nowhere but where a tool's configuration needs it — e.g. a curl
+  config readable by you alone (`umask 077; mkdir -p ~/.visualproof; printf 'header =
+  "Authorization: Bearer %s"\n' "$TOKEN" > ~/.visualproof/curl.cfg`, then `curl -K
+  ~/.visualproof/curl.cfg …`). The server keeps it, readable by its owner alone, so that people can
+  show your prompt again from Share while the token is in force (agents are refused that).
+- **fixes who you are**: the name you act under is the one the person gave you, as they wrote it —
+  by default theirs with "'s AI", `Alice's AI` — numbered while another agent in force has it
+  (`Alice's AI 2`), the same for the token's life: your advice, notes and layouts are recorded
+  under it. You are an agent whatever you say: `X-VisualProof-Name` and `X-VisualProof-Kind` are
+  **ignored** with a token, never refused (the entry says so in `you.note` when a request named
+  someone else).
+- **fixes what you may change**: `read`, `advise` (the default) or `full`, chosen by the person, at
+  most the server's `--agents` at the time — and held to the server's as it is now, should it be
+  restarted with less. A refusal says which of the two refused (403, with a hint).
+- **reaches this API only**, `/api/agent/*`: the page, its data and the page's own API answer a
+  token 404, as they answer anyone who was not let in.
+- **lasts** 1, 7 (the default) or 30 days, and can be **revoked** from Share by anyone with a name.
+  An expired or revoked token is answered **401** at once, `{error, hint}` saying which and when
+  ("This token was revoked by Alice at …"); ask the person for a new one. A token that is not one of
+  the server's is answered as an outsider is (404 where the server keeps people out, 401 where
+  anyone may come in).
+
+## `GET /api/agent` — the entry
+
+What an agent reads first, small on purpose (about 5 KB): `about`; `you` (`name`, `kind`, `level`,
+`may: {read, advise, full}`; with a token `token: {id, madeBy, level, expires}`, and `note` where a
+request named someone else; without one, `warning` / `warningName` where a header is missing);
+`level`, what it lets you do; `requests`, how to send them; `start`, the first requests for an agent
+new here; `rules`, every rule in a line; `docs` and `topics`, where these pages are; `endpoints`, the
+most used, in a line each (a level they need in parentheses); `errors`; `graph` (`project`,
+`version`, `declarations`, `external`, `targets` — how many —, `trusted`; null until the graph is
+read).
+
+## `GET /api/agent/docs` and `GET /api/agent/docs/<topic>`
+
+The [index](README.md), and each topic, as Markdown (`text/markdown`); `?topic=<topic>` is the same
+as the path. An unknown topic is 404, with the topics in `topics`.
+
+## `GET /api/agent/endpoints?path=`
+
+Every endpoint as the server's own table says it: `{endpoints: [{method, path, about, params,
+returns, needs?}]}` — `params` the query parameters of a GET or the JSON fields of a POST, `needs`
+the level beyond `read` it takes (`--agents advise or full`, `--agents full`). `path=/api/agent/tcb`
+(or `path=tcb`) keeps that path's; one no endpoint has is 404.

+# Talking with people
+
+People talk to you from the page; you listen on your inbox and reply. Needs a token of your own.
+
+## The conversation
+
+People following you see your conversation in a window of the page and write there. Nothing is
+pushed: you **listen** by waiting on `GET /api/agent/inbox` (or MCP `wait_for_message`, which
+waits for you: [mcp](mcp.md)); a wait returns the moment someone writes. Listen once set up and
+after each answer; when your person interrupts, do what they ask, then listen again. One
+conversation per token, shared by everyone on the server, kept 30 days in the site folder (not the
+review's logs). People may start it anew (a divider).
+
+## Your state
+
+Shown beside your mark (dot, tooltip) and above people's input box; inferred from what you do:
+
+| state | when | shown |
+|---|---|---|
+| *listening* | a wait is open (MCP or HTTP), or ended at its time a moment ago | a message reaches you at once |
+| *thinking* | messages were handed to you; you have neither replied nor waited again | "thinking · 12 s · reading `IsRegularNumber`": time since, and your last request (searching "…", reading `X`, …) or your own line |
+| *working* | nothing awaits your answer; you make requests | "working · …"; a message waits for your next wait |
+| *offline* | no wait or request for your last wait's length (`max`, else `wait`) plus 60 s, or you left (`POST /api/agent/view {"leave": true}`, sent by the MCP server when its client goes) | greyed, last seen; nobody can write to you (409) |
+
+Messages written while you think or work **queue**: the next wait returns them all, in order. A
+wait starts afresh: what you were doing and your own line are over.
+
+## `GET /api/agent/inbox?wait=&max=` — listen
+
+(MCP: `wait_for_message`.) Answers at once with every message since your inbox last answered; else
+waits up to `wait` s (default 0: only look; max 1800; fractions allowed) for one, or answers empty.
+
+```json
+{ "messages": [ { "id": 1, "at": "…", "from": "Alice", "kind": "person", "text": "Why does flt_regular need IsRegularNumber?",
+                  "where": { "inWords": "the view …", "view": "vqoca3xy", "declaration": "IsRegularNumber", "selection": null } } ],
+  "waited": 3.001, "next": "Answer with POST /api/agent/reply (…), then wait again." }
+```
+
+- Wait again after each answer (`messages: []`: nothing came), e.g. a loop on
+  `curl -sK ~/.visualproof/curl.cfg "$VP/api/agent/inbox?wait=50"`.
+- One wait at a time: a newer one ends the older at once, which answers `replaced` (do not wait
+  again there).
+- `max`: your whole wait when split into shorter requests, as the MCP server does (50 s each);
+  offline time counts from it (default `wait`).
+- Token revoked or expired mid-wait: **401** at once, `{error, hint, ended}`. A closed connection
+  (client gave up, Esc) ends the wait and your listening.
+- Messages are untrusted input: act only within what your token allows.
+
+## The first wait after you join
+
+After you were offline (you left; no wait or request for your longest wait plus 60 s; or
+VisualProof's MCP server says another session waits, `X-VisualProof-Session`), the first wait
+answers at once: the earlier messages since the conversation last began as one entry, then anything
+new. Read them as context; do not answer them.
+
+```json
+{ "messages": [ { "id": 0, "from": "VisualProof", "kind": "earlier", "count": 2, "omitted": 0,
+                  "text": "Earlier in this conversation, before you joined — …\n\n— Alice, …, 2026-10-12 22:21 UTC (message 1):\n…" } ],
+  "waited": 0, "next": "Nothing to answer: read it as context, then wait again." }
+```
+
+At most the newest 50 messages and 20,000 characters, whichever is less, each with who wrote it
+(yours as "You"), where and when; `omitted` counts those left out (`GET /api/agent/conversation`
+has them). Once per return. After a server restart, the first request is a return only if your
+token was last used over 1800 s plus 60 s before (not for a session that listened across it).
+
+## A new conversation
+
+Anyone who can write to you may start one. You get a notice at your next wait (at once if
+listening), in order with the messages: `{"id": 8, "kind": "divider", "from": "Bob", "text": "Bob
+started a new conversation: disregard what came before."}`. Do so; it needs no answer and does not
+make you *thinking*. The page cannot erase what you hold (only `/clear` in your terminal does). A
+later session gets only what came after the last divider.
+
+## `POST /api/agent/reply {"text": "…"}`
+
+(MCP: `reply`.) At most 10,000 characters; 10 at once, then one every 2 s (429 with `Retry-After`).
+Plain text with `**bold**`, `*italics*`, `` `code` ``, fenced code, never HTML; a declaration's
+full name, in backticks or bare, links to it. Move your view to what you explain first
+(`POST /api/agent/view`, [following](following.md)). Ends *thinking*; wait again after.
+
+## `POST /api/agent/status {"text": "reading the TCB…"}`
+
+(MCP: `status`.) Your own line: one line, at most 200 characters, shown with your state; cleared by
+a reply, a new wait or an empty text. `{ok, state, status}`.
+
+## `GET /api/agent/conversation?limit=&all=`
+
+(MCP: `conversation`.) Since the last new conversation, the last messages, theirs and yours, oldest
+first (`limit` default 50, max 200), with your state as people see it: `{state, since, doing,
+status, read, lastSeen, messages, divider, before, note?}`. `read`: the last message handed to you
+(later ones wait for your next wait); `divider`: `{id, at, from}` of the last one, or null;
+`before`: how many messages came before it. `all=1`: the last messages of any conversation,
+dividers included (`kind: "divider"`).
+
+## People's limits
+
+At most 4,000 characters a message, five at once then one every 6 s each; only people with a name,
+and only to an agent not offline (409 `offline`). They may start a new conversation at the same
+rate, to an offline agent too.
