+Each message runs as a new job. To continue a conversation, send its earlier turns as `history`; only `user` and `assistant` turns with text are used, and only the most recent 40 turns up to 64,000 characters:

+```bash

+
+The web UI does this for you: each conversation in the agent chat sends only its own visible turns. **New Chat** and switching conversations therefore continue from that conversation alone, and **Clear** starts the conversation over without history. A request without `history` is answered without earlier context; the server keeps no web chat history of its own. In distributed mode (NATS) the history is not forwarded yet.
