+/**
+ * Agent memory storage.
+ *
+ * What the agent has learned and chose to keep, in two scopes:
+ *
+ * - **project** — `<projectsDir>/<projectId>/memory.json`. How this codebase
+ *   works, what was decided, where things live.
+ * - **global** — `<userConfigRoot>/memory.json`. Who the user is and how they
+ *   want to be worked with. It belongs to no project, so it cannot live under
+ *   one.
+ *
+ * The split is not cosmetic. A wrong project fact costs one project and is
+ * noticed quickly; a wrong global fact quietly shapes every session in every
+ * project, and the user has no code to check it against. Global memory is
+ * therefore deliberately narrower: fewer entries, and only the types that
+ * genuinely have no other home.
+ *
+ * This is NOT the notes surface. Notes are what the user writes for themselves
+ * and hands to the agent by pinning; memory is what the agent writes for
+ * itself. Keeping them apart keeps an agent mistake out of the user's notes.
+ *
+ * Because the agent writes here unprompted, two invariants guard the store:
+ *
+ * - **Restatements replace.** A memory the agent phrases differently the second
+ *   time supersedes the first rather than sitting beside it, so the store
+ *   cannot fill with variants of one fact that later disagree.
+ * - **Timestamps are the record of change.** The panel derives "new" and
+ *   "changed" from `createdAt` and `updatedAt` against when the user last
+ *   looked, so what the agent stored without asking stays visible without the
+ *   store carrying any review state of its own.

 ## Purpose
 
-This module exposes OpenChamber orchestration to agents as one typed OpenCode
-custom tool named `openchamber`. It is injected only when OpenChamber launches
-and owns the OpenCode process, and only while the persisted
-`agentControlToolEnabled` setting is not `false` (default on; toggled in
-Settings → General → OpenCode CLI and applied on the next managed OpenCode
-restart).
+This module exposes OpenChamber to agents as typed OpenCode custom tools. There
+are two, because controlling sessions and driving a page are separate intents
+the user can want independently:
+
+- `openchamber` — projects, sessions, worktrees, and scheduled tasks. Enabled
+  while the persisted `agentControlToolEnabled` setting is not `false`.
+- `openchamber_web` — looking at and interacting with the page in OpenChamber's
+  browser panel. Enabled while `agentWebToolEnabled` is not `false`.
+
+Both default to on, are toggled in Settings → General → OpenCode CLI, and apply
+on the next managed OpenCode restart. Each tool carries only its own actions and
+only the parameters those actions use, so turning one off removes its inputs
+from the schema rather than leaving them visible. The plugin is injected only
+when OpenChamber launches and owns the OpenCode process, and not at all when
+both settings are `false`.
+
+- The plugin accepts the action's inputs either inside `parameters` or beside
+  `action`, because models produce both shapes; an explicit `parameters` object
+  wins on a conflict. Rejecting the flattened shape turned a call that plainly
+  carried a `url` into "url is required", which reads as a broken tool rather
+  than a malformed call.
 
 ## Runtime flow
 
@@ -88,3 +103,17 @@ error state.
 - VS Code: not injected; the extension owns a separate OpenCode lifecycle.
 - Hosted and Capacitor mobile clients use the server's managed OpenCode tool
   when connected to such a server; no tool runs in the client runtime.
+
+## The calling tool is part of the request
+
+Each generated tool sends its own name with every callback. Models routinely
+drop the namespace their tool's name appears to supply — `openchamber_memory`
+asked for `memory.read` gets called as `read` — and resolving the bare name
+inside the calling tool's action set makes that unambiguous even where it is not
+globally (`delete` belongs to both schedule and memory).
+
+Resolution never reaches outside the tool that asked: `open` from the memory
+tool fails rather than driving the browser. An unresolvable action answers with
+the actions that tool actually has, because an error that only says
+"unsupported" leaves the model to guess a second wrong name — which is exactly
+what happened before this existed.

+# Browser Control Broker
+
+## Purpose
+
+This module carries agent browser actions from the server to the client that
+owns the in-app browser view, and the result back. The browser lives in a
+renderer, not in the server process, so the server can never act on a page
+itself; it can only ask and wait.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- `broker.js` owns request lifetime: it publishes one action through the
+  injected `emitRequest`, holds the pending request, and settles it on a client
+  result, a timeout, or an abort signal. It knows nothing about transports.
+- `routes.js` is the result callback (`POST /api/browser-control/result`). It
+  validates the envelope and hands the outcome to the broker.
+- `../../index.js` supplies `emitRequest`, which writes the request to the
+  OpenChamber SSE clients and returns how many were reached.
+- `../openchamber-control/service.js` is the only caller. It maps the
+  `browser.*` actions of the `openchamber_web` tool onto `broker.request()` and
+  owns their parameter validation.
+- The client half is `packages/ui/src/lib/browser/controlClient.ts`, which
+  registers the mounted browser pane as the one responder.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- Capability belongs to the connection, not to configuration. A client declares
+  it can drive a page by opening its event stream with `browser=1`, which only
+  a Chromium host does; the flag lives and dies with that connection, so there
+  is no setting to enable and no restart to remember.
+- `emitRequest` counts only clients that can serve the action. `browser.open`
+  needs any client, because opening a tab is what creates a view; every other
+  action needs a declared-capable one.
+- Exactly one client performs a request. The broadcast reaches everyone who
+  could serve it, so a client claims the request over
+  `POST /api/browser-control/claim` and acts only if granted; the first claim
+  wins and every other client does nothing. Deciding by whose result arrives
+  first would be too late, because by then each of them has already clicked.
+  A claim for a settled request is refused for the same reason.
+- Nobody listening is answered immediately with a 503 describing the
+  environment, never by blocking for the full timeout. A blocked wait followed
+  by a timeout cannot be told apart from a page that hung.
+- A client that accepted a request and then disappeared still times out.
+  Assuming success would report a page interaction that never happened.
+- A result for an unknown request id is accepted with `matched: false`, not an
+  error: a client answering after the timeout has behaved correctly.
+- The result route parses its own body. This server has no global body parser,
+  and a missing one silently turns every answer into an agent-visible timeout.
+- Request payload limits are sized for a page snapshot (visible text plus every
+  interactive element), not for a control message.

+# Dev Server Tunnel
+
+## Purpose
+
+This module carries raw TCP bytes between a desktop client and a dev server
+running on the OpenChamber host, so a remote dev server can be opened in the
+browser panel without anything being rewritten.
+
+The page is served from a real origin at the root of its own host. That is the
+whole design: absolute URLs resolve, cookies scope correctly, HMR sockets
+connect, and developer tools behave as they do locally. No HTML, header, or
+URL is inspected or modified, which is what the previous rewriting proxy did
+and what made it fragile per framework.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- `runtime.js` is the host end: it accepts the WebSocket upgrade at
+  `/api/dev-tunnel`, authenticates it, opens a TCP socket to the requested
+  local port, and pipes the two together.
+- `client.js` is the local end: it binds a loopback listener on the user's
+  machine and pipes each accepted connection through one WebSocket. It lives in
+  this package because it needs a WebSocket client the package already depends
+  on; the desktop shell drives it over IPC.
+- Port discovery is not owned here. `runtime.js` is given the reachable set by
+  the same dev-server discovery the user's own list is built from.
+- The browser panel decides when to tunnel; this module never chooses a target.
+  `packages/ui/src/lib/browser/devTunnel.ts` owns that decision, including for
+  navigations the page starts itself: a tunnelled page that sends the view to
+  another loopback port means a port on the host, not on the user's machine.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- The reachable set is exactly what dev-server discovery offers the user, never
+  "any loopback port". Without that restriction an authenticated client could
+  dial arbitrary local services on the host — databases, admin panels, the
+  OpenCode API — through this socket.
+- Authentication depends on whether the caller is a browser, and this is
+  deliberate rather than a relaxation:
+  - With an `Origin` header the request came from a browser context, and the
+    usual origin allowlist applies unchanged. That check is a CSRF defence: a
+    hostile page can make a browser open a WebSocket carrying ambient cookies,
+    and the origin is what exposes it.
+  - With no `Origin` the request must carry client-token auth. A browser cannot
+    reach this path — the WebSocket API always sends an origin and never lets a
+    page set an `Authorization` header — so this case is the desktop shell.
+- Concurrency is capped per host, not per page, because one page load opens
+  many sockets.
+- A connection that cannot be established fails the socket rather than holding
+  it open; a stalled connect is bounded by an explicit timeout, and so is the
+  WebSocket handshake. While it is pending the local socket is paused and its
+  buffered bytes are capped, so a local process writing into a stalled
+  handshake cannot grow the desktop app's memory.
+- A tunnel that cannot be opened is reported to the panel, never replaced by the
+  plain loopback URL. On a remote instance that substitution would change which
+  machine answers and show local content under a remote address.
+- Closing either end closes the other. A half-open pipe would leave the page
+  waiting on bytes that will never arrive.

+/**
+ * Raw byte tunnel to a dev server running on the OpenChamber host.
+ *
+ * This is what lets a desktop client preview a dev server that lives on another
+ * machine without rewriting anything. The client binds its own local port and
+ * pipes it here; the page is then served from a real origin at the root of its
+ * own host, so absolute URLs, cookies, HMR sockets, and DevTools all behave
+ * exactly as they do locally. No HTML is inspected or modified.
+ *
+ * Security posture: the reachable set is the same list dev-server discovery
+ * offers the user, not "any loopback port". Without that restriction an
+ * authenticated client could dial arbitrary local services on the host —
+ * databases, admin panels, the OpenCode API — through this socket.
+ *
+ * Authentication differs from the browser-facing sockets on purpose. Those
+ * demand an allowed `Origin`, which is a CSRF defence: a hostile page can make
+ * a browser open a WebSocket carrying the user's ambient cookies, and the
+ * origin is what exposes it. This tunnel's client is the desktop shell, not a
+ * browser, and it authenticates with an explicit bearer token. So:
+ *
+ * - With an `Origin` header, the request came from a browser context and the
+ *   usual origin check applies unchanged.
+ * - With no `Origin`, the request must carry client-token auth. A browser
+ *   cannot reach this path: the WebSocket API always sends an origin and never
+ *   lets a page set an `Authorization` header.

+## Segmentation
+
+A dictation is one segment unless it runs long. Past `segmentMinSeconds`
+(60 s) the manager commits on the first silent chunk, so cuts land at a pause
+rather than mid-word; `segmentMaxSeconds` (90 s) is a hard cap for speech with
+no pause in it. Client chunks are ~1 s, so "silent chunk" is roughly a second
+of silence.
+
+The bounds exist because Parakeet is a full-attention conformer: decode cost
+and peak memory grow quadratically with segment length. Measured on Parakeet
+v3 int8 with 2 threads: 60 s took 2.1 s and +90 MB, 180 s took 9.3 s and
++490 MB, 300 s took 21.3 s and +1.5 GB. Committed segments decode while the
+user is still speaking, so only the tail is left to transcribe on stop.
+
 ## Invariants
 
 - Never load `sherpa-onnx-node` in the main server process.
+- Transcription happens on commit only; sessions never emit non-final
+  transcripts. The `partial` messages a client receives are the concatenation
+  of already-committed segments, and exist so a dictation that fails partway
+  can be salvaged instead of losing minutes of speech.
 - The stream manager acks only the highest contiguous seq; the client is
   expected to retain unacked segments for retry/replay.
 - Silence-only segments (peak < 300) are cleared, never committed, so

 ## Notes for contributors
 - Keep filesystem policy (workspace root checks, error mapping, exec timeout behavior) inside this module, not in the composition root.
 - Filesystem `EPERM`/`EACCES` failures use the stable `reason: "os-permission"` response marker. Policy denials such as workspace-boundary or missing-grant failures must not use that marker because a native folder picker cannot remediate them.
+- Read-only routes authorize the requested path against the workspace before resolving symlinks. A symlink reached through the workspace may therefore target a file outside it, while a directly requested outside path still requires an exact-path grant. Write routes keep canonical-target boundary checks.
 - If adding new `/api/fs/*` endpoints, add them in `routes.js` and extend this document.
 - `GET /api/fs/list` may resolve symlinks with `realpath` to read directory contents, but the response `path` and each entry `path` must stay in the caller's requested path space (`path.join(requestedPath, name)`). Returning real paths breaks file-tree expansion for directories reached through workspace symlinks.
+- `POST /api/fs/upload` accepts one `application/octet-stream` body with `path` and optional `overwrite=true` query parameters. The body streams into a same-directory temp file with a 100 MiB default cap configurable through `OPENCHAMBER_FS_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES`; failed and oversized uploads clean up that temp file. New files commit through an atomic no-replace link, existing files return `409` unless overwrite is explicit, directory targets are rejected, and the destination parent resolves before writing so uploads cannot escape through workspace symlinks.

 - `isLinkedWorktree(directory)`: Check if directory is a linked worktree (not primary).
 
+### Worktree creation from a GitHub pull request
+The UI provisions `pr-<owner>` via `ensureRemoteName`/`ensureRemoteUrl`
+(HTTPS clone URL preferred over SSH) and checks out
+`remotes/pr-<owner>/<head>`. A missing head URL or unreachable fork fails with

 ### Commit and Remote Operations
 - `commit(directory, message, options)`: Create a commit from the current index. `options.stageFiles` may be provided with `options.files` by older callers to stage only selected unstaged rows before committing, but the shared Git panel now stages/unstages explicitly before commit.

+- It first searches for **open** PRs by likely source owner plus exact head branch.
+- If that fails, it falls back to broader GitHub search for open PRs on the branch name.
+- An **open PR from any candidate repo always wins** over a closed/merged one, so a merged fork PR can never hide an open upstream PR for the same head.
+- Only when no target has an open PR does it return the branch's newest closed/merged PR, as history.
+- History is looked up **only for the ranked-first remote and the branch's own name** — the repo it actually pushes to. Live status is worth searching the whole fork network for; history is not, and asking every target for it multiplies serial GitHub calls until the route hits its `12s` resolve timeout and returns no status at all.
+- The history answer is remembered per repo+branch so discovery polls do not re-query it: a found closed/merged record for `6h`, and "no history yet" for `10m`. A found record only changes if a second PR appears on the same head, and while that one is open the open-PR path wins without ever reading this cache.
+- Creating, merging, or closing a PR invalidates both the shared repo pull list and that remembered history.
+- The route skips the checks summary and the merge-permission lookup for a closed/merged PR: neither is actionable, and both cost extra GitHub calls.
 - `403` and `404` during repo lookups are treated as expected gaps, not hard errors.

-- Closed or merged PR -> stop regular polling.
+- Closed or merged PR -> discovery refresh every `5m` (do not permanently stop polling).
 - Hidden tab -> skip polling.
 - Non-forced refreshes use a `90s` TTL.
 - Failed non-forced attempts also observe the `90s` TTL so transient server or rate-limit failures cannot retry on every sidebar update. Forced user/action refreshes bypass this guard.
 
+## Persistence notes for terminal PRs
+
+- Closed/merged branch associations are persisted like open ones, so a reload still shows that the branch's PR was merged.

+# Markdown Image Grants
+
+## Purpose
+
+This module lets the Markdown image gallery display images that an assistant
+explicitly referenced from OpenCode's temporary directory when the UI is on a
+different machine.
+
+## Contract
+
+- Chat Markdown rendering is independent: assistant image syntax renders as an
+  icon and filename, while the gallery only reads finalized Markdown to collect
+  image candidates.
+- `POST /api/openchamber/sessions/:sessionId/markdown-image-grants` prepares up to 12
+  local images in one message-level request. The server fetches the assistant
+  message once and verifies every exact image source before reading files.
+- Authorization recognizes the same common inline and reference-style image
+  destinations collected by the UI, including balanced parentheses, while
+  excluding fenced and inline code.
+- Relative and workspace-contained absolute paths resolve against the active
+  directory. Other absolute paths are accepted only inside
+  `os.tmpdir()/opencode` after `realpath` resolution.
+- PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP files are signature-checked and limited to 10 MiB.
+- Prepare requests inspect only file metadata and signatures. Workspace images
+  reuse the existing authenticated `/api/fs/raw` asset route directly. Images
+  under `os.tmpdir()/opencode` receive the existing path-bound `raw`
+  `outsideFileGrant`; this module does not add another asset lifetime, copy, or
+  storage layer. Missing files return per-source results so the gallery can
+  remove only those items.
+
+The routes are OpenChamber-owned and must be registered before the generic
+OpenCode proxy. Web, Electron, hosted mobile, and Capacitor use the shared
+server implementation. VS Code does not call this route for workspace images;
+those use its local filesystem bridge. If called, the grant route returns an
+explicit unsupported response because OpenCode temporary images are not
+supported there.

 Transport-triggered health checks share the periodic monitor's failure accounting interval. Rapid WS reconnect callbacks therefore cannot exhaust the managed-process restart threshold using one cached unhealthy result; an exited managed process still restarts immediately.
 
+Managed health failures are classified as `timeout`, `connection_refused`, `connection_reset`, `invalid_response`, or `error`. The lifecycle retains the latest counted failure with a bounded detail string and source. Managed process wrappers continue capturing a sanitized, bounded stderr tail after readiness and retain exit code/signal. Before replacing a managed process, lifecycle snapshots the reason, latest health failure, process diagnostics/aliveness, busy-session count, and timestamp into `lastOpenCodeRestartDiagnostics`; successful startup does not clear this snapshot, and `/health` exposes it for post-restart diagnosis without process environment or credentials.
