Ettore Di Giacinto 31aa996272 feat(addons): let the owner relax the confirmation of a write tool
A write tool with approval "always" always waits for a person. A tool can
now also declare approvalOverridable, and the owner can then choose not to
be asked for that one tool, with a user setting approval-<tool> (ask or
skip, default ask). It is the only way to relax the ceiling.

The host honors the setting only for the owner's own chat and for a
messaging chat whose senders are all paired with the bot. Allowlisted
but unpaired senders, anyone-mode senders, roles, triggers, jobs, pages,
sub-agents and calls without a chat still wait for a person. The setting
is read again at the apply. Every run without a card is logged with the
tool, the connection and the outcome, never the arguments, and is added
to the latest decisions of the connection. The access view and the
access preview list the relaxable tools and who they run for.

Ettore Di Giacinto 894692ca16 feat(github): allow classic tokens and any-repository lists, both opt-in
The GitHub add-on refused classic tokens in the page only, and its
repository list took exact owner/name entries.

A classic token (ghp_) is now an explicit choice of the connection. The
kind declares a token guard: the host refuses a token with that prefix
unless the connection sets the option classicToken to allow, and the
request that turns it on must carry confirm_wider_token. It is checked
when the token is saved and again each time it is used, so switching
the option off stops a stored token. The list and the write mode still
apply. The page shows a warning and two ticks.

The list takes owner/* and *. The host matches them before the add-on
runs, without regard to case and on whole names, so other-owner/x and
owner-evil/x are not covered by acme/*, and a key that holds a star is
never a name. A kind opts in with wildcardResources; only GitHub does,
so the other add-ons keep exact matching. Saving * needs
confirm_any_resource, and the write mode stays separate. A read tool
that declares enumerates (the new list-repos) runs only for a list of *
and asks GitHub which repositories the token reaches.

Ettore Di Giacinto a3e3aa64e4 feat(addons): move the voice, face, fine-tuning, quantization and memory words into bundles
These five pages kept their English text in en.js files or in strings
inside the page code, so the add-on locale gate did not cover them and
they could not be translated.

Each page now reads one JSON bundle per language of the web UI, checked
by the add-on locale gate. A list of notes is stored as numbered keys
and put back together by the page. Fine-tuning and quantization take
every language from the host tools locale files, plus a few own keys
that are translated in all languages. Voice, face and memory have a
draft Italian translation; their other languages repeat the English
text for the keys the host has no translation for.

Ettore Di Giacinto 93ddd19504 chore(addons): retire the Memory add-on package
Memory is built in. Drop the package matrix, the catalog template and the
entry in the generated library index, and stop building it in the package
workflow, so the add-on is no longer offered for a new install. The sources
stay as the fixture of copies that are still installed: the host keeps the
alias that maps the legacy id to the built-in provider, and the add-on page
keeps its notice that memory is built in. The inventories and the docs follow.

Ettore Di Giacinto f0caddf8f1 feat(studio): let the assistant propose a text for Knowledge
Add the change kind `knowledge` and the sensitive grant and capability
`knowledge.write`. A text for a collection goes through the same
proposal flow as the other kinds, but it is never applied unasked:
the Ask, Auto and Always confirm levels all wait for the owner, and the
Never level takes the kind away. Confirm adds one entry to the
collection and Undo removes it. Text is capped at 64 KiB.

A paired sender can answer yes, no or undo in a messaging chat; a
sender who is only on the allowlist cannot. The connection page
explains a block with the shared reason codes, plus knowledge_none and
knowledge_no_embedding. The Suggested changes card names the
collection and previews the text. A kind can now declare a destination
other than the home folder, so core code stays generic.

Ettore Di GiacintoandClaude Sonnet 5.5 62d75c0de0 feat(memory): serve the notes through a provider slot
Memory is the first provider slot. The person picks one provider for the
notes: the built-in one, Off, or an add-on that declares the slot. The
choice is kept per person with the other host settings.

Core stays generic. providerslots.go lists the providers of a slot,
stores and resolves the choice, and gates an add-on that declares a slot:
its context files, skills and role tools count only while it is the
provider picked, and the chat can narrow a slot off for itself. The
notes wire into it in memory.go: an adapter gives the add-on's files and
skills behind the MemoryProvider interface, the built-in provider stops
reading while another serves, and the On or Off switch and the choice
stay one answer.

If the add-on that was picked stops, is disabled or is removed, memory is
off with the code memory_provider_unavailable and the add-on is named.
It never falls back to the built-in provider, so a note is not read or
saved where the person did not choose. The choice stays stored.

Add GET /api/chats/providers, GET and PUT /api/chats/providers/{slot}.
Settings > Memory lists the providers from that answer with a generic
picker, shows the failure with the shared Notice and offers to use the
built-in provider. Document the facility for add-on authors, and test it
with a fake add-on that provides the slot.

Ettore Di Giacinto 5df6818bb8 fix(addons): fail closed on the apps list when the owner does not answer
A frontend kept the last apps list per person and answered 200 with a
stale mark when the owner timed out. Two frontends then disagreed: one
with a cached list answered 200, the other a typed 503. The acceptance
contract is that every frontend gives the same typed answer when the
owner cannot answer, so the server cache is gone.

The route now answers owner_busy (timeout) or owner_unavailable with a
503 from every frontend. An owner that is up and busy still answers
from its snapshot, with the operation of each add-on in the list. The
Add-ons page keeps the last list in the browser and shows it with the
busy notice, so it never goes empty. The specs, the docs and the
swagger spec follow the new contract.

Ettore Di Giacinto 7df9b263ed feat(addons): carry translated text in the manifest and the library
The manifest said its text in English only. An add-on can now translate
what the host shows to people, and the library list shows it before the
add-on is installed.

The title and the description use the language maps of ui.title and
ui.description, which every host already reads. A new optional field,
i18n, translates the connector kinds by language tag. It stays under api
2 and its set of fields is closed: the title and the description of a
declared kind, and only where the English kind has them. Tool
descriptions, schemas and skills are for the model and stay English.
Tags follow the language map rule (at most 16, no English), each string
has the limit of its English field, all translated text has at most
12 000 characters, and markup, control characters and direction
overrides are refused. A host that does not know the field refuses the
manifest, as it refuses any unknown field. The field is part of the
manifest, so the package digest and the signature cover it.

The catalog generator copies the translated title and description of
the manifest into each library entry (ui.titles, ui.descriptions), the
host validates them like the manifest values, and a library search
matches the English and the translated text. The apps list and the
connector kinds return the text of every language and, when the request
names a language (lang, else Accept-Language), the resolved text beside
the English fields: language, localizedTitle and localizedDescription.
No existing field changes.

Every add-on on master now has its title and description in Italian,
German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese,
Korean and Indonesian, and the chat connectors carry their kind text in
the same languages. The packaging tests require that, and that a
translation has the fields of the English text it translates. The names
of the add-ons that provide a role are matched in their English title
only: a translation is often an ordinary word of its language.

Ettore Di Giacinto 8011e54ddd fix(addons): answer reads while the owner runs an upgrade
An install or upgrade holds the owner's state lock through the backup,
the commit and the start of the new generation. The apps list, the host
access overview and the installed list took the same lock, so they
waited for the whole operation and the frontends timed out after 65 s.
The Add-ons page then had no list to show.

Reads now work on a snapshot of the journal that every journal write
publishes, and never wait for an operation. The apps list reports the
running operation of each add-on (kind, phase, since), and the owner
records the stage of an upgrade through the start of the candidate. A
second upgrade of an add-on that is changing is refused with a conflict.

A frontend waits eight seconds for a quick read of the owner. When the
owner does not answer, the apps list returns the last list it got for
the same person, marked stale for ten minutes. Without such a list the
route answers a typed owner_busy or owner_unavailable 503, and the pins
route no longer drops pins it could not check.

Ettore Di Giacinto e48bf37995 feat(addons): translate the add-on pages into every language of the web UI
The shared connector page kept its words in English text maps inside the
components, and only Studio shipped translations. Move the maps to JSON
bundles (addons/internal/connector-ui/src/i18n) and add bundles for the
Telegram, Slack, Discord, GitHub, Jellyfin, Home Assistant and Talk pages
in German, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Brazilian
Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. English stays the default, and a key
that a bundle lacks reads in English.

Plural sentences now go through the translator, so each language picks
its own plural form. The "More" and "optional" labels, the sender line and
the dates follow the language of the page instead of the browser.

A new gate, addons/internal/i18ncheck, fails when a language lacks a
bundle, a bundle lacks a key or has an extra one, a placeholder differs
from English or a value is empty. It runs in make test-i18n and so in the
UI unit tests of CI, with no baseline. Playwright specs render the pages
in Italian, check that no language runs text out of its box on a phone,
and save screenshots when UI_SHOTS_DIR is set.

Ettore Di Giacinto 82b9984e06 feat(memory): serve the notes of memory from the host
The Memory add-on only declared three index files, two skills and a save
setting; the host did the rest. Without the add-on a memory proposal
worked but nothing was read back, and removing the add-on silently reset
the save level.

The host now loads the three indexes (user, agent, conversation) with
the same caps and data wrapping, serves context_read, ships the two
skills as built-in skills with the same text, and keeps the save level
as its own per-person setting (ask, auto, never; default ask). The code
sits behind a small MemoryProvider interface.

The add-on stays installed and harmless: its index files and skills are
ignored while the host serves memory, so nothing loads twice. A person
who chose a level on its page keeps it until they choose in the host
setting; auto still needs the add-on to run. A person who disabled the
add-on and never chose keeps memory off. Saved agents still read notes
only when their add-ons list names memory, and messaging chats still
ask before saving.

A person with no note and no add-on gets no extra block in the prompt.

Ettore Di Giacinto bab8a605cc feat(addons): add the PiKVM add-on
Chats and agents can check a PiKVM (kvmd) device and, when a person
confirms each call, press the power buttons of the machine it controls
and use its keyboard.

Read tools: get-info (model, versions, no serial or host name),
get-power-state (ATX LEDs) and get-keyboard-state. Write tools:
power-action (on, off, reset; off_hard, reset_hard and long_press only
with a per-device switch), type-text (bounded, no control characters,
refuses key, token and password-list shapes) and send-key (a short
allowlist, no Windows or Meta chords). All three declare approval
always. The preview reads the power state; apply reads it again and
rejects a stale operation. The add-on journals before it sends, never
retries and reports unknown when the connection drops.

One connection is one device: the address is the single resource of the
connection and the one sealed credential holds user:password, split at
the first colon. A one-time code is not supported. The add-on speaks
only to that address, refuses redirects, uses no proxy and accepts a
self-signed certificate only through a #sha256= pin in the address.
Typing, the text length and hard power actions are per-device switches
that an administrator sets on the add-on page; all start off. Snapshots,
mass storage, GPIO and the mouse are left out.

The add-on ships a skill, a connection page with a Test button and
approval cards, the package files, the library entry and the docs, and
joins the package workflow and the case inventory.

Ettore Di Giacinto 6be3a96083 feat(addons): add the Home Assistant add-on
Chats and agents can read a Home Assistant instance and, if the person
allows it, switch things in it.

Read tools: server summary, areas, entity search, state, history,
logbook and the catalogue of callable services. Results are bounded,
marked as untrusted data, and stripped of pictures, access tokens,
secrets and locations.

Write tools: call-service for quiet services (lights, switches, input
booleans, media transport) follows the write mode of the connection;
call-physical-service always needs a confirmation. A deny-by-default
allowlist decides which services a model may call. A hard exclusion
list that no setting can lift covers locks, alarms, sirens, valves,
cameras, garage-type covers, restarts, reloads and shell, system and
add-on management. Calls name entities one by one, up to a cap.
Entities can be excluded by domain, area, pattern or label.

One connection is one instance: the token is the credential and the
address is its one allowed resource, so the host refuses any other
address before the add-on runs. The add-on speaks only to that address,
refuses redirects, verifies TLS, and accepts a self-signed certificate
only through a pinned SHA-256 fingerprint.

The policy lives in the add-on data folder and is edited on the add-on
page by an administrator. For that, the host no longer asks a
credential for a uiOnly tool of a credentialed add-on, since the page
has no chat to name a connection.

Ettore Di GiacintoandClaude Sonnet 5.5 c3566febd3 Report every add-on update in one check and say why an old package will not start
Checking several add-ons of one library in a row reached the registry
only for the first, because the library interval also throttled the
per-add-on tag resolution. The others answered unknown at once, so a
check-all reported one update and the next pass the next one.

The library interval now spares only the library fetch; each add-on is
throttled by its own interval.

Turning on an installed package whose manifest this host refuses now
fails with the typed installed_incompatible cause and a message that
says to upgrade, instead of the generic owner-unavailable 503. The
upgrade of such a package stays allowed.

Ettore Di Giacinto 23beb6dc80 feat(chats): let a person choose how memory notes are saved
A memory note is still a proposal that the person confirms by default.
An add-on can declare the user setting with the role memory.save-mode,
and the person then picks: ask first, save it and tell me, or never.

With auto, a note from the person's own Studio chat is applied at once
through the whole proposal path (grant, gate, checks, rate limit, audit)
and confirmed as the person, so it is one change set that revert_change
and the Undo on the chat restore. The chat shows "Saved to memory" with
Undo and no confirmation card. The record carries auto: true and the
audit says the write was automatic.

Safety rules live in the host. A connector chat always asks, a trigger or
job has no tool, a saved agent cannot widen the choice, and a failure to
read the setting asks. At most 5 notes are saved unasked in a turn; a note
over 4 KiB or one that looks like it holds a secret becomes a normal
proposal. With never the memory kind is hidden from propose_change and a
stray call is refused. Only memory reads the setting.

Ettore Di Giacinto ad39954af1 feat(addons): let a chat enable several connections of a credentialed add-on
A chat now enables a set of connections for an add-on whose tools run with
a credential, and the model names one of them in each call. This applies to
every add-on that declares a credential in its manifest.

- The Tools menu row of the add-on lists the connections with a checkbox
  each. The saved agent names a set too (an empty set means each chat
  chooses). A chat that a connector binding started keeps that binding
  alone. With one connection, it is the set. With none enabled, the tools
  are not offered.
- With one connection enabled the tools are unchanged. With two or more,
  the host adds a required `connection` argument to every tool of the
  add-on in the definitions it gives the model: an enum of the connection
  names (the display name folded to lower case, digits and hyphens; the
  description keeps the display name). The add-on never sees the argument.
- The name is checked against the set the chat has now, not against all the
  connections of the person. A missing or unknown name returns a sentence
  that lists the allowed names, and nothing is sent. A write tool never runs
  without the name. Text in a tool result cannot widen the set, and the
  owner checks the chosen binding against the set again.
- The resource list of the named connection is the only one that applies.
  Results, the approval card and the text for a pending change name the
  connection; the audit line has the binding ID.
- A connection name must be unique per person and add-on among the
  credential-only connections, compared by name fold. Older duplicates get
  a numeric suffix in the model's list.
- The stored chat, draft and agent values move from one binding ID per
  add-on to a list of IDs. A single string is read as a set of one in the
  stores and in every request, so older data and clients keep working.
  PUT /api/chats/{id}/connections takes `connections`; the older
  `connection` field still works.

Ettore Di Giacinto c56c1ac343 feat(addons): choose the connection of a credentialed add-on explicitly
A chat never uses a connection that the host picked for it. For an add-on
whose tools run with the token of a connection (such as GitHub):

- With one connection, it is selected. With several, the Tools menu row
  of the add-on has a Connection selector, and until the person picks one
  the tools are not offered and the row says so. With none, the row says
  so and links to the Connectors page. The choice is stored with the chat
  and its draft, like the other switches, and follows a fork, a
  sub-agent and the runs of a trigger the chat proposed.
- A saved agent can name its connection per add-on (agent form field, API
  field connections). Its chats use it, show it read only and cannot
  change it. An agent with no choice follows the same rule as a chat. A
  chat that a connector binding started keeps using that binding.
- CredentialFor takes the selected binding and uses only it, so the
  resource list of that binding is the only one that applies. A call with
  no selected binding is refused with the code select_connection and a
  note the model can relay. The first-match code (connectors.Pick) is
  removed.
- Tool results and proposal cards say which connection acted, for example
  "as Work, repository acme/widgets". A proposal is applied with the
  connection it was previewed with. The credential use is logged with the
  binding ID.

Contract: the credential slot takes an optional resourceLabel (the word
for the resource in that line). The agent export file does not carry the
connections, since a binding ID belongs to one server.

Ettore Di Giacinto 8cf6153ea6 feat(connectors): let a credentials-only kind have bindings without an agent
A connector kind can declare agentOptional. A binding of such a kind may
have no agent: it holds the token, the resource list and the write mode
for the tools of a chat, and never receives or answers a message. The
GitHub kind declares it, so a person no longer makes a throwaway agent
only to store a token.

Without an agent the host refuses every setting that needs one:
listening, accepting senders, an allowlist, a notification chat,
talk-back channels, permissions, pairing and trigger approval. The
places that read the agent of a binding handle the empty value:
inbound routing, the polling loop, notifications, pairing, the capability
check (deny by default) and the grant switch. A kind that does not
declare the key still needs an agent on every binding.

The binding page makes the agent field optional for such a kind with
help text, and the list shows "Credentials only".

Ettore Di Giacinto 6b181cd20b feat(studio): enforce the action policy of unattended runs
A trigger run or an agent job has nobody to approve a step, and so far
the approval mode auto_readonly and the act.* grants were only recorded.
The prompt was the only thing that kept such a run from acting.

Every tool call of an unattended run now goes through one check at the
call. A tool that only reads runs. Any other tool needs the grant of its
class, and the check fails closed:

- act.files for write_file, edit_file, move_file, delete_file and the
  built-in bash;
- act.addons, or act.addons:<id>, for add-on tools whose declared kind is
  not read, plus act.spend when the add-on gates the tool with a
  permission;
- act.spend for MCP tools.

A trigger holds its new acts list within the grants of its agent. A
trigger that declared read only runs, or that a binding in auto_readonly
mode made without asking, is refused every non-read tool whatever it
holds. A binding that cannot be read counts as auto_readonly. A job
holds the act grants of its agent. Sub-agents follow their parent, and a
saved agent cannot be started from an unattended run.

A refused call answers with a plain sentence the model can pass on, not
an error, and writes one audit log line. Triggers set acts through the
REST API; a model never can. A trigger whose plan names a file it writes
keeps act.files.

Ettore Di Giacinto afb06fd42f docs(addons): describe manifest api 2 only and update the test inventory
The add-on guide names one manifest api, one way to move a file and no
migration path, and drops the section on arguments of older tool
versions. The Swagger files are generated again, which also brings in
fields that the last generation missed, and the test of the apps view
now emits every field it documents. The inventory of the add-on suites
lists the specs by their new names.

Ettore Di Giacinto 1834d4fd72 refactor(addons): make manifest api 2 the only version
No release ever shipped add-ons, so there is no installed base on api 1.
The manifest must now declare api {"min": 2, "max": 2}; a manifest with
api 1, no api or a wider range is refused with a message that names the
range.

Every field that was gated on api 2 is now part of the contract, so the
Min*API constants and their gates are gone, and so are HostAPIMin and
the apiMin host field. Three older-manifest shims go with them: the
resource listing the host implied for one add-on, the legacyArgs hint
for arguments an older version of a tool took, and the tests that
checked the gates. All shipped manifests and the test fixtures declare
api 2.

Ettore Di Giacinto 7efb20bd1f feat(studio): read and send large connector files by handle
For a kind that declares files.transfer, the connector manager gives the
add-on a handle and not the bytes, in both directions.

Inbound, the add-on streams the file to the host. The chat upload then
reads it from the blob store, so a 6 MB PDF reaches the chat. Outbound,
the manager checks the access of the chat to the file, gives the
process that runs the add-on only the hash and the size of the content,
and the add-on pulls the chunks. The file limit of such a kind has no
inline cap: it is the smallest of the host ceiling, the ability the kind
declares and the limit the owner set for the bot, and the sentence names
the number and the layer. A kind without transfer keeps the 1 MiB inline
cap, and its sentence says so.

Checks: the files of one message may add up to three times the limit;
the media type that the add-on states must be among the types the kind
declares; an outbound file must have a type that the kind declares and
must not start with an HTML page. Every transfer writes one audit line
with direction, binding, size, result, layer and time, and no name or
content. The binding page no longer says "larger files need streaming"
for a kind that streams.

The specs run the real Telegram and Slack add-ons, the real gateway and
the real file operations over scripted platform APIs, with a 6 MB file in
each direction.

Not in this change: a daily byte counter per binding, and a virus scan
(the table has a hook that accepts everything).

Ettore Di Giacinto 24c837e453 feat(studio): grant built-in capabilities to a saved agent
A saved agent now has a Builtins list: the capabilities its owner gave
it (memory.write, profile.write, skills.write, pages.write,
dashboard.write, triggers.propose, triggers.run, talkback.channels,
talkback.new_channel, files.upload, act.files, act.addons, act.send,
act.spend and the opt-in group saved_agents). The list is empty by
default, and nothing turns a grant on for a template, an import or a
write that omits the field.

A chat of the agent holds the grants the user may use at the turn
(agent scope). A tool exists when the grant is held, the chat did not
switch its group off and the run can hold rights: a sub-agent or a run
that started by itself never does. propose_change and revert_change
now exist only for a chat that holds the grant of at least one kind,
and the schema lists only those kinds.

propose_change gains the kinds skill, page and dashboard. A skill is a
SKILL.md for the personal or the agent layer, and a skill with
locked: true is refused, also as a shadow of a locked personal skill.
A page is a set of files checked against the Pages rules and written
as one change set. The dashboard is a home.json checked against its
schema. All three are re-checked when the owner confirms or edits.

GET /api/chats/agents/builtin-grants lists each grant with its title,
description and sensitive flag. The agent record, the write body and
the export file carry builtins; an old file imports as before and an
unknown name is dropped in an import and refused in a write.

Ettore Di Giacinto 337a034601 feat(addons): declare document slots and legacy arguments in the manifest
The four document skill names were code in the contract, the hint for
binary files kept its own list of formats and libraries, and the chat
boundary rewrote the old arguments of one add-on by its ID.

A skill that shadows a name can now declare the slot it serves: kind,
file extensions, name words and a library hint. A tool can declare
legacyArgs, the arguments it refuses now, each with a hint. Both need
manifest api 2. The four default slots move to a data file that the
contract reads, so a manifest that declares nothing keeps working.

The host takes the replaceable names, the files a skill covers and the
hint for a script from the skills the add-ons list. It compares no
format or add-on ID. A guard spec fails when it does again. The Office
manifest declares its slots and legacy arguments and accepts api 2.

Ettore Di Giacinto 474e3eefbe refactor(addons): pick engine job backends by gallery tag
The finetune.start and quantize.start operations defaulted to the
backend names "trl" and "llama-cpp-quantization", and the backend
lister had one method per engine family. Both were special cases that
a new engine could not use.

The lister now answers for a gallery tag. A start call that names no
backend gets the first installed backend of the tag in gallery order,
and a named backend must carry the tag. With no engine installed the
call fails with a 400 that says so. The shipped gallery order keeps
trl and llama-cpp-quantization as the defaults, and a test pins it.

The change is additive for add-ons: no manifest field or operation
changes.

Ettore Di Giacinto 9e6d6520bd feat(connectors): enforce add-on permissions on each connector turn
The capabilities, role grants and pairing that a connector binding
stores now decide what a sender can make the agent do.

Authorize is one pure function: the capability must be in the owner's
ceiling for the binding and the sender must be on the allowlist. A
sensitive capability then needs a paired sender; roles never count for
it. Any other capability needs a pairing or a role that the owner
granted and that the kind lists. The default is no.

Each message gets a grant for its sender. A message that joins a
running turn narrows it to what both senders may do. The tool builder
offers a gated tool only for a held capability, and the tool checks
again when the model calls it, so a call that gets through is refused
with the reason. Today this covers propose_change (memory and profile
kinds), revert_change, the trigger tools, and files sent to the bot. A
chat worker gets the grant with the start request.

The capability gate that the trigger features ask is now answered by
Authorize, and the application sets it. Other features can add a
global switch with AddCapabilitySwitch.

Every use records an allow or deny row (time, binding, sender IDs,
roles, capability, result; no text or codes). GET
/api/chats/connectors/{id}/access returns the effective permissions
per kind of sender and the latest rows, for an add-on settings page.

A binding saved before this change has no capabilities, so its senders
lose these features until the owner enables them.

Ettore Di Giacinto df14cf43e2 feat(addons): add the Short memory add-on
The add-on declares the three index files of the person's notes
(capabilities.contextFiles, manifest API 2), so the host loads them into
the prompt and serves their topics with context_read. It ships two skills:
memory, whose description asks the model to read the matching topic before
it answers almost anything and to save a note only as a proposal the person
confirms, and memory-check-own-files, which says what the model can and
cannot read. Its executable serves no tool, and its page explains the notes
and opens the Memory tab of the account.

The add-on joins the packaging matrix, the release workflow, the library
index and the case inventory. The declared capabilities the host hands to
an add-on now include the context files.

Ettore Di Giacinto 1f481b0747 feat(connectors): add-on roles and permissions, and sender pairing
A connector kind can now declare the roles it gives to a sender and the
capabilities it can grant to a role. The owner of a binding enables a
ceiling of capabilities and maps roles to them. The host stores these
values and returns them with the binding and the kind list, so an add-on
settings page can show them.

Capability names are a closed list owned by the host. Sensitive names
may be listed by a kind but are never granted to a role; only a paired
sender can use them.

Pairing proves that the owner controls a platform account. The owner
asks for a one-use code (valid ten minutes) and sends it as a direct
message to the bot from an allowlisted account. The host checks the code
before any model turn and never logs it. A binding holds three paired
senders, a pairing ends after 90 days, and five wrong codes in an hour
lock the sender out for an hour.

Contract: connector kinds gain optional roles and permissions, and a
message gains optional roles. They need manifest api 2, which the host
already accepts; protocol is unchanged and manifests that declare
nothing new behave as before. The host drops roles a kind does not
declare.

Enforcement of the capabilities by feature is not part of this change.
