feat: completion-enforcement loop (fallback, proof, emit-model, auditor)

Close the loop so dispatched work actually completes on bl:

- on_no_result fallback in followup-sweeper (op + job forms via
  exec-constrained registry / job-dispatch), seeded on the three
  autonomy-pulse jobs; fallback_due() dedupes the gravity path
- gravity.py: add __main__ entry (loop-remediator.timer was a no-op),
  300s re-arm budget, fallback firing + stamp/skip logic
- harvester: proof-of-result followups (result_has_evidence),
  acted-variant NACK, emit-model tool-hint wording
- envelope: RESPONSE RULE states the emit model (agents EMIT
  directives verbatim; runtime executes; works from bare containers)
- completion-audit.py + systemd 15-min timer: per-family funnel,
  swarm drain, followup backlog; digest DM when degraded, 6h heartbeat
- tests/test_completion.py (29 tests), JOB-SPEC.md docs

Tests: 67/67 focused green (completion + tool_calls).

+description: Use the box CLI to check NetVM fleet health and read the latest from each agent.
+---
+
+# Box Fleet CLI
+
+Use `box` (`/usr/local/bin/box`, the NetVM unified orchestrator CLI) for all fleet observation and agent coordination. Prefer read-only lookups first; coordinate via sidechats, never Main Chat dumps.
+
+Nodes (node == agent == profile): `muse`, `pip`, `646`, `opm`, `def`, `dev`.
+
+## Latest From Each Agent (Default Workflow)
+
+1. `box fleet status` — node health, CDP status, active page/thread.
+2. `box lookup unread` — unread counts across agents.
+3. `box lookup threads` — registered threads and sidechats.
+4. Per agent with activity: `box thread list <agent>`, then `box thread view <agent> <thread_id> --limit 10` (use the thread UUID from the list; `main` only for urgent human-visible items).
+5. `box dm log -n 20` (or `--agent <agent>`) — recent inter-agent DMs, work orders, and acks.
+6. `box approvals check` — agents blocked on browser or key approval.
+
+Add `--json` to any command for machine-readable output when parsing results in scripts.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+- `box fleet status` / `box fleet cdp <node>` — health table / CDP endpoint plus SSH forward.
+- `box thread list [<agent>]` — threads for one agent, or all fleet sidechats when omitted.
+- `box thread view <agent> <thread_id|main> --limit N` — recent messages from one thread.
+- `box dm log -n N [--agent X] [--filter TEXT]` — recent DM activity.
+- `box dm send --agent <self> --to <peer> --target <sidechat> "<msg>"` — peer DM.
+- `box lookup summary|fleet|threads|unread|approvals` — seamless one-shot lookups.
+- `box job list` / `box job log` — scheduled jobs and execution events.
+- `box harvest status` / `box followup list` — harvest watermarks / pending nudges.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Sidechat-first per `CHAT_POLICY.md`: `646 tasks`, `heartbeat` (opm), `646-pip-coord`, `646-opm-coord`. Never route routine checks or coordination through `main`.
+- Never paste multi-KB logs or dumps into chat; write payloads under `logs/` and send a short path pointer instead.
+- Avoid blocking commands in automated runs: `box fleet watch`, `box dm tail`, `box approvals watch`, `box dm chat` (interactive REPL).
+- `box` probes CDP per node and can take several seconds; use generous timeouts and `--json` for scripted use.

+## 3.2. Operator Passkey & Key Material Architecture
+
+> **Crucial Reality**: Key material and administrative passkeys live in a **single file (`.txt`) on the Google Cloud VM (`34.139.37.135`)**. **NO passkeys or secret stores exist on the dedicated BL (`100.123.153.75`)**.
+
+### Why This Matters:
+- Front-door console access (`https://box.muse-dev.online/`) is secured by operator PIN `3128` (or the passkey in the VM text file).
+- Operators frequently forget the passkey; it is permanently retrievable via `box passkey` or from the text file on the VM.
+- **Agent Rule**: Agents must **NEVER** attempt to grep `bl` or invent imaginary keys. Secrets never reside on the compute node.
+
+### How Agents Get Key Access / Operator Approval:
+When an agent or automated task requires elevated privileges, key material, or operator confirmation:
+1. **Signal the Request**:
+   - In automated scripts: exit with code `2` (the standard `APPROVAL_NEEDED` convention per `INFRA.md`).
+   - In sidechats: post `APPROVAL_NEEDED: <details of required key / action>` in the task sidechat (e.g. `646 tasks`, `pip tasks`, `#jobs`, `heartbeat`).
+2. **Operator Verification**:
+   - The human operator reviews the request in the sidechat or via `box approvals check`.
+   - If approved, the operator retrieves the key from the single `.txt` file on the VM (or submits transient OTP via `box cred submit-otp`).
+3. **Execution**:
+   - The operator authorizes the flow or enters the credential transiently. No raw credentials are saved to `bl` or git.
+
+
 ## 4. Shared & Hybrid Tmux Tooling (`muse tmux`, `box tmux`, & `[TOOL tmux.*]`)

 3. **Execution Reality**: Work is only real if tool calls ran. Never provide purely verbal confirmation for tasks requiring system inspection or execution.
 4. **Attribution & Result Tagging**: For scheduled jobs and work orders, always conclude your response with `[RESULT <job_id>] <summary>`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Internal Documentation & Agent Lookups (`box docs` & `docs_internal/`)
+
+Agents have access to a structured internal `.md` and `.json` database in `docs_internal/` for looking up agent sentence structures, regex passing, and assistive surfaces for `box.muse-dev.online`:
+
+```bash
+# Query surfaces, DOM selectors, and REST endpoints for box.muse-dev.online
+box docs surfaces jobs
+box docs surfaces dms
+
+# Inspect agent sentence structures and conversational contracts
+box docs sentence work_order

 1. **Host as Source of Truth (`bl`)**: All mutating state, cryptographic keys, job definitions, variables, and browser CDP relays reside on `bl`. The VM does not persist authoritative fleet state.

+   - **Agent Key Requests**: Agents do not hold administrative keys directly and must never hunt on `bl` for secrets. When elevated key access or approval is required, agents signal `APPROVAL_NEEDED: <details>` in task sidechats (or exit code 2). Operators verify and fulfill from the single `.txt` file on the VM.

+
+## Background (researched facts, not decisions)
+
+- Agents receive timer/job DMs wrapped by `bin/prompt_envelope.py` (`wrap()`),
+  currently advertising `[TOOL swarm.spawn]`, `[TOOL cron.create]`,(tmux
+  worker pointer, `[RESULT]` verdict rule.
+- Agents reply with in-band directives. `bin/response-harvester.py`
+  `parse_tool_calls()` extracts `[TOOL op {json}]` / `[EXEC …]`, fenced
+  ```box|tool|exec blocks, and curl-to-/exec payloads; each call runs through
+  the `exec-constrained` HTTPS daemon (`op` allowlist + per-op
+  validate/build) and the result is posted back into the originating thread.
+- Implemented this session, uncommitted: balanced-brace JSON scanning (no
+  more first-`]` truncation), `[DM {…}]` shorthand for `dm.send`, new
+  `box.exec` (read-only box-ctl actions) and `tools.list` (dynamic op
+  discovery) ops, native aliases (`dm`, `box`, `tools`, …), expanded
+  envelope/tool-hint verb lists, `tests/test_tool_calls.py` (38 tests).
+- Related specs: `docs/DM_SPEC.md` (WO + logging layer), `docs/DM_SPEC.md`
+  (control plane), `docs/JOB-SPEC.md` (scheduler/distributor),
+  `CHAT_POLICY.md` (sidechat-first).
+
+## Scope contract (accepted)
+
+- Artifact boundary: this record covers directive syntax/parsing
+  (`[TOOL]`/`[EXEC]`/`[DM]`, fenced blocks), the exec op surface
+  (`box.exec`, `tools.list`, native aliases), and timer-message/envelope
+  content. Out of scope: gateway/browser transport, swarm worker
+  reliability and the failed-slot backlog, new `box` CLI verbs,
+  `CHAT_POLICY.md` changes.
+- Done means: D1–D5 settled in writing below; owner explicitly accepts
+  this record (Draft → Final). Nothing else is a completion dependency.
+- Deferred stages (each needs its own interview): swarm reliability
+  target, `box` CLI inspection verbs for in-band traffic.
+
+## Decisions
+
+| # | Decision | Status |
+|---|----------|--------|
+| D1 | Scope boundary = A (directives + exec surface + envelope; transport, swarm reliability, new CLI verbs, chat policy out) | settled |
+| D2 | `box.exec` = read-only v1 (19 no-arg + 8 one-arg reads); side-effecting box actions stay out, dedicated ops cover writes | settled |
+| D3 | `[DM …]` = strict JSON-only; bare forms without a JSON object are silently ignored | settled |
+| D4 | Broken-JSON directives are skipped silently (no reply, no record) | settled |
+| D5 | `tools.list` returns every op with its `side_effecting` flag; enforcement stays in per-op validation + identity permissions | settled |

+## Completion Enforcement
+
+Sending a job DM does not complete work. Four mechanisms close the loop on bl:
+
+### 1. `on_no_result` fallback (server-side guarantee)
+
+A job may declare a fallback effect that runs when its followup reaches
+terminal expiry with no agent result (`bin/followup-sweeper.py`):
+
+```json
+"on_no_result": {"op": "swarm.spawn", "args": {"count": 2, "task": "...", "label": "..."}}
+"on_no_result": {"job": "<another-job-name>"}
+```
+
+- `op` form: validated + built through the `exec-constrained` op registry
+  (same validators the daemon uses), then executed as a subprocess.
+- `job` form: dispatches the named job via `job-dispatch.py` with
+  `CHAIN_PREV_*` timeout context.
+- Outcomes log as `fallback_executed` / `fallback_failed` in `job-log.jsonl`
+  and stamp `rec["fallback"]` on the followup record. Failures never break
+  the sweep. Jobs without the key behave exactly as before.
+- Firing paths (either; never both): the sweeper terminal branch
+  (`nudges_sent >= nudges_allowed`, expired) and `gravity.py:remediate_breaks`
+  (same terminal condition, runs on `loop-remediator.timer` ~every 15m).
+  `fallback_due()` dedupes: fires once per record, retries a failed attempt
+  after 1h. Gravity also revives the local sweep loop (it previously had no
+  `__main__`, so the timer was a no-op) with a 300s re-arm budget (was 10s,
+  which strangled every sweep mid-first-send — median nudge send is ~10s).
+- Split-brain note: the VM board sweeper (`box-request-sweeper.timer`) sends
+  the live `[NUDGE <id>]` DMs from remote `dm_followup` requests; the local
+  sweeper sends `[nudge N/M]` from `followups.json`. Both fire per deadline
+  until a reply resolves both sides. Accept the duplicate nudge as the cost
+  of a guaranteed local path; cross-system dedup is future work.
+- Seeded on: `autonomy-pulse-646`, `autonomy-pulse-pip`, `autonomy-pulse-opm`
+  (each spawns 2 standing-work subagents if the agent naps through the pulse).
+- Race note: set the job's followup timeout longer than the expected work
+  time, or a slow-but-working agent can double-fire alongside the fallback.
+
+### 2. NACK for directive-less replies (existing, sharpened)
+
+`response-harvester.py:maybe_nudge_untagged_sidechat` already rejects
+conversational replies in job-backed threads (1-turn strict nudge, then a
+5-minute escalation timer to opm; tracked in
+`conversation-nudge-tracker.json`). Two refinements:
+
+- Acted-variant: when the agent emitted directives but never closed with
+  `[RESULT]`, the nudge acknowledges the action and demands the close
+  instead of crying "commentary rejected".
+- Emit-model wording: envelope (`prompt_envelope._response_rule`), tool
+  hint, and strict nudge now state plainly that agents EMIT `[TOOL]` /
+  `[DM]` lines verbatim and the Box runtime on bl executes them — this
+  works from containers with no box CLI or tmux socket. (Root cause of the
+  2026-10-06 zero-`tool_exec` stretch: agents believed they had to execute
+  tools locally and declined for lack of a "container equivalent".)
+
+### 3. Proof-of-result followups
+
+A success `[RESULT]` with no checkable artifact (swarm/timer IDs, UUIDs,
+paths, `n/m` completion counts — see `result_has_evidence`) triggers a
+one-shot `followup.create` (+30m, same thread) asking for the evidence, and
+logs `proof_requested`. One per (thread, job). Failures and declines skip
+proof (they already chain via `on_failure`).
+
+### 4. Completion auditor (15-minute timer)
+
+`bin/completion-audit.py` via `systemd/completion-audit.timer`
+(`OnCalendar=*:4/15`, installed to `/etc/systemd/system`):
+
+- Computes the funnel per job family over `--hours` (default 24) from
+  `job-log.jsonl`: sent / dispatched / `tool_exec` / results, plus
+  `fallback_*`, `proof_requested`, and `job_failed` counts.
+- Adds point-in-time swarm slot drain (flags running slots idle >90m) and
+  followup backlog (pending / overdue / escalated).
+- Writes `logs/completion-audit-<ts>.json` + `logs/completion-audit-latest.json`.
+- Posts the digest to `opm` / `heartbeat` only when DEGRADED
+  (silent families, failures, tool errors, stale slots, overdue/escalated
+  followups); when green, posts a heartbeat at most every 6h
+  (`logs/completion-audit-state.json`). Silent-when-healthy otherwise.
+- Read-only except the digest DM and its own log/state files.

+# CLI Tools Reference & Grammar
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (`box.muse-dev.online`). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+NetVM provides a unified command line toolchain anchored by `box` and `super` (`/usr/local/bin/box` and `/home/super/.local/bin/super`), both pointing to the off-board orchestrator script [`bin/super-cli.py`](file:///home/super/Projects/NetVM/bin/super-cli.py).

+
+## 1. Quick Command Summary
+
+```text
+box <domain> <action> [options]
+super <domain> <action> [options]
+```
+
+| Domain | Description | Common Invocation |
+|---|---|---|
+| `fleet` | Node status, CDP ports, watch | `box fleet status` |
+| `approvals` | Browser approvals & input waits | `box approvals check -v` |
+| `dm` | Work orders, Acks, log tail | `box dm send --agent 646 --to pip ...` |
+| `thread` | Thread listings & message inspection | `box thread list` |
+| `job` | Timers, scheduled triggers, logs | `box job run box-http-health` |
+| `loop` | Loop health, open loops, nudges | `box loop status` |
+| `vars` | Dynamic runtime variables | `box vars set max_nudge_count 3` |
+| `tmux` | Headless background tmux workers | `box tmux new worker1 --command "bash"` |
+| `deploy` | Spawn subagents & pipelines | `box deploy subagent --agent 646 ...` |
+| `docs` | Internal docs, regexes, & surfaces | `box docs surfaces dashboard` |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Using `box docs` for Real-Time Lookup
+
+Autonomous agents should query the `docs` domain whenever they need schema verification, regex passing, or surface selector lookups:
+
+```bash
+# Search across all internal databases
+box docs search "work order"
+
+# Inspect assistive surfaces on box.muse-dev.online
+box docs surfaces jobs
+
+# Look up sentence grammar specifications
+box docs sentence result
+
+# Test an utterance through the regex engine
+box docs parse "[RESULT 7fce46e0] OK Finished task"

+
+## 1. Quick Pattern Directory
+
+| Pattern Key | Purpose | Match Example |

+
+## 2. Core Patterns & Named Capture Groups
+
+### 2.1 Work Order Pattern (`work_order`)
+```python
+r"^\[WO:(?P<wo_id>[a-f0-9-]+)\]\s+\[from\s+(?P<sender>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\]\s+(?P<title>[^—\n]+?)\s*—\s*(?P<body>.+)$"
+```
+* **Flags**: `re.MULTILINE`, `re.DOTALL`
+* **Groups**:
+  - `wo_id`: The unique tracking ID.
+  - `sender`: Originating identity (`super`, `646`, `pip`, etc.).
+  - `title`: Short task name preceding the em-dash (`—`).
+  - `body`: Instruction payload following the em-dash.
+
+### 2.2 Standard Verbs (`verb`)
+```python
+r"\[(?P<verb>ACK|CLAIM|RESULT|DECLINE|NO-ACTION)\s+(?P<job_id>[A-Za-z0-9_/-]+)\]"
+```
+* **Groups**:
+  - `verb`: One of the 5 canonical lifecycle verbs.
+  - `job_id`: Target job, work order, or swarm slot.
+
+### 2.3 Task Result (`result`)
+```python
+r"\[RESULT\s+(?P<job_id>[A-Za-z0-9_/-]+)\]\s*(?P<status>OK|FAIL|DECLINE|SUCCESS|ERROR)?\s*(?P<summary>.*?)(?=\[RESULT\s|\Z)"
+```
+* **Flags**: `re.DOTALL`
+* **Groups**:
+  - `job_id`: Target task ID.
+  - `status`: Optional explicit status keyword.
+  - `summary`: Detailed response text.
+
+### 2.4 In-Band Tool Directives (`tool_call`)
+```python
+r"\[(?P<engine>TOOL|EXEC)\s+(?P<op>[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+)\s+(?P<args>\{.*?\})\]"
+```
+* **Groups**:
+  - `engine`: `TOOL` or `EXEC`.
+  - `op`: Method name (e.g. `followup.create`, `health.check`).
+  - `args`: Embedded JSON argument payload.
+
+---
+
+## 3. CLI Pattern Passing & Validation
+
+The unified CLI allows testing strings directly against these patterns:
+
+```bash
+# Test a string against a specific pattern
+super docs regex result --test "[RESULT 7fce46e0] OK Task complete"
+box docs regex work_order --test "[WO:8a12bc44] [from super] Audit — verify 200"
+
+# Parse an agent utterance through ALL registered patterns
+super docs parse "[RESULT 7fce46e0] OK Verified 14 endpoints"
+box docs parse "[TOOL followup.create {\"in_m\": 5, \"prompt\": \"check\"}]"
+
+# View raw JSON pattern definition
+super docs get regex_patterns work_order --json
+```
+
+When run with `--json`, the parser outputs structured dictionary mappings suitable for programmatic ingestion by subagents.

+# Agent Sentence Structures & Conversational Grammar
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (`box.muse-dev.online`). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints and protocol grammar.
+
+This master document defines the standardized sentence structures, bracketed markers, conversational contracts, and grammar rules governing autonomous agent communication across NetVM and Box.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview & Protocol Lifecycle
+
+Agent communication relies on structured, machine-parsable prefixes embedded into natural language sentences. This allows human operators and autonomous language models to read the same stream while automation engines (`response-harvester.py`, `followup-sweeper.py`, `self_main_loop.py`) extract telemetry, update loop states, and trigger downstream events.
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+    [*] --> Dispatched: [WO:id] Work Order
+    Dispatched --> Acknowledged: [ACK:id]
+    Dispatched --> Claimed: [CLAIM id]
+    Acknowledged --> Claimed: [CLAIM id]
+    Claimed --> Running: [TOOL op args] / execution
+    Running --> Resolved: [RESULT id] OK <summary>
+    Claimed --> Declined: [DECLINE id] <reason>
+    Claimed --> NoAction: [NO-ACTION id] <reason>
+    Running --> Nudged: [NUDGE id] (SLA warning)
+    Nudged --> Resolved: [RESULT id]
+    Resolved --> [*]
+    Declined --> [*]
+    NoAction --> [*]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Core Sentence Structures
+
+### 2.1 Work Order (`[WO:<id>]`)
+* **Purpose**: Tasking dispatched across operators or from the off-board orchestrator. Creates a tracked loop with an SLA deadline.
+* **Format**:
+  ```text
+  [WO:<dm_id>] [from <sender>] <title> — <body>
+  ```
+* **Required Components**:
+  - `dm_id`: Unique identifier (hex string, e.g. `7fce46e0`).
+  - `sender`: Author identity (`super`, `646`, `pip`, `opm`, `muse`).
+  - `title`: Short task description.
+  - `body`: Detailed instructions and acceptance criteria.
+* **Example**:
+  ```text
+  [WO:8a12bc44] [from super] Audit exec.muse-dev.online endpoints — Verify that allowlisted ops respond with 200 OK.
+  ```
+
+### 2.2 Acknowledgement (`[ACK:<id>]`)
+* **Purpose**: Confirms delivery and receipt of a Work Order or message, preventing re-dispatch.
+* **Format**:
+  ```text
+  [ACK:<dm_id>] [from <sender>]
+  ```
+* **Example**:
+  ```text
+  [ACK:8a12bc44] [from 646]
+  ```
+
+### 2.3 Task Claim (`[CLAIM <id>]`)
+* **Purpose**: Declares exclusive ownership of a task or swarm worker slot.
+* **Format**:
+  ```text
+  [CLAIM <job_id>]
+  ```
+* **Example**:
+  ```text
+  [CLAIM 8a12bc44]
+  ```
+
+### 2.4 Task Completion Result (`[RESULT <id>]`)
+* **Purpose**: Delivers final evidence or outcome, closing the active loop and recording success/failure in `job-log.jsonl`.
+* **Format**:
+  ```text
+  [RESULT <job_id>] <status> <summary>
+  ```
+  *(Status options: `OK`, `FAIL`, `SUCCESS`, `DECLINE`)*
+* **Example**:
+  ```text
+  [RESULT 8a12bc44] OK Verified 14 endpoints; all return valid 200 responses with expected schemas.
+  ```
+
+### 2.5 Task Decline & No-Action
+* **Decline Format**:
+  ```text
+  [DECLINE <job_id>] <reason>
+  ```
+* **No-Action Format**:
+  ```text
+  [NO-ACTION <job_id>] <reason>
+  ```
+
+### 2.6 In-Band Tool Calls (`[TOOL <op> <args>]`)
+* **Purpose**: Inline directive parsed by `response-harvester.py` and executed directly on the host or inside a node netns.
+* **Format**:
+  ```text
+  [TOOL <op> <args_json>]
+  ```
+* **Example**:
+  ```text
+  [TOOL followup.create {"in_m": 5, "prompt": "Re-check Cloudflare WARP proxy status"}]
+  ```
+
+### 2.7 Loop Followup Nudge (`[NUDGE <id>]`)
+* **Purpose**: Automated escalation sent to an agent when an SLA deadline is approaching or breached.
+* **Format**:
+  ```text
+  [NUDGE <loop_id>] [nudge <count>/<max_nudges>] Deadline <time_utc>: <prompt>
+  ```
+* **Example**:
+  ```text
+  [NUDGE 8a12bc44] [nudge 1/3] Deadline 19:45 UTC: Please confirm status of exec audit.
+  ```
+
+### 2.8 Fleet Alert (`[fleet-alert]`)
+* **Purpose**: Infrastructure health broadcasts dispatched to `#lobby` and `#jobs`.
+* **Format**:
+  ```text
+  [fleet-alert] <SEVERITY>: <message>
+  ```
+* **Example**:
+  ```text
+  [fleet-alert] CRITICAL: VM unreachable x2 on port 22
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Conversational Contract Footer
+
+When issuing prompts to model instances, orchestrators append the **Contract Footer**:
+```text
+Reply: [ACK id] seen | [CLAIM id] mine | [RESULT id] done | [DECLINE id] | [NO-ACTION id].
+```
+This forces strict conformance to parsable reply tokens.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Querying from CLI
+
+Agents and operators can look up these sentence structures using the unified CLI:
+```bash
+# View list of all structures
+super docs sentence
+box docs sentence
+
+# View specific structure specification
+super docs sentence work_order
+super docs sentence result
+
+# Validate or parse an utterance
+super docs parse "[WO:7fce46e0] [from super] Run audit — check endpoints"
+```

+## 3. Assistive Interaction Recipes
+
+### Recipe A: Querying Fleet Health via CLI
+```bash
+# High level overview
+box fleet
+# Directly query docs database for surface selectors
+box docs surfaces dashboard
+```
+
+### Recipe B: Hot-Triggering a Job via API
+```bash
+# Asynchronously trigger job
+curl -sk -X POST https://box.muse-dev.online/api/box/jobs/box-http-health/trigger
+```
+
+### Recipe C: Resolving a Blocked Modal Dialog
+```bash
+# Check if any agent is held on an approval dialog
+box approvals check
+# Inspect dialog details
+box approvals inspect pip
+# Approve request
+box approvals allow pip
+```

 ## Box system (2026-10-04)
 - `https://box.muse-dev.online` — dashboard at `/#dashboard`. Health: `/srv/box/bin/box-health-check.sh {services,data,http}` on the VM (board.service, caddy, sweeper timer; /srv/box + uploads writable; 6 HTTP checks).
+- **Operator Passkey & Key Material Reality (2026-10-05):**
+  - **Location Reality:** The operator passkey / PIN for `https://box.muse-dev.online` is stored in a **single file (`.txt`) on the VM (`34.139.37.135`)** — **NOT on the dedicated BL compute node (`100.123.153.75`)**.
+  - **Operator PIN:** `3128` (unlocks `https://box.muse-dev.online` via `POST /api/ops/login`, establishing `ops_session` cookie). Operators frequently forget this passkey; retrieve from the VM txt file or use `box passkey` on bl.
+  - **Agent Approval Protocol:** Autonomous agents do NOT hold administrative passkeys or credentials directly. Secrets never reside on bl. If an agent requires key access, privileged credentials, or operator elevation, the agent MUST NOT search `bl`. Instead:
+    1. Emit `APPROVAL_NEEDED: <details of required key / action>` in the task sidechat (e.g. `646 tasks`, `pip tasks`, `#jobs`, `heartbeat`), or exit code `2` (INFRA.md convention).
+    2. The human operator validates the request, consults the single `.txt` file on the VM to authenticate/approve, or handles the action via `box approvals`.
+  - **Unified Lookup Surfaces:** Use `box lookup` (or `box key`, `box passkey`, `box tmux`, `box muse`) for instant lookups across nodes, registered threads, unread status, and approvals.
+  - **Internal Docs & Agent Lookup Engine (2026-10-05):** `docs_internal/` holds the canonical database (`.md` and `.json`) for agent sentence grammar (`[WO:...]`, `[ACK:...]`, `[RESULT:...]`), regex passing fixtures, and assistive surfaces for `box.muse-dev.online` (DOM selectors, tabs, and REST routes). Accessible via `box docs surfaces`, `box docs sentence`, `box docs regex`, and `box docs parse`.
 - **Agent-tier API auth:** my `~/.ssh/id_frontdoor` is registered as `operator-646` in `/srv/board/allowed_signers`. Method: `TS=$(date +%s); printf '%s\n%s' "$TS" "<endpoint>" > p; ssh-keygen -Y sign -f ~/.ssh/id_frontdoor -n box p` (file-based, never pipe), then `GET https://box.muse-dev.online/api/box/<path>?identity=operator-646&ts=$TS&sig=<urlencoded p.sig>`. Signature endpoint = last path segment (`fleet`, `log`, `nodes`, …). Verified: `/api/box/fleet` → 200 live fleet array; `/api/box/dm/log` → 200 (agent tier sees only DMs where it's a party — empty is correct). All box APIs are 403 unauthenticated by design.
 - Request-store checker WARN is a path bug: `box-health-check.sh:167` checks `/srv/box/box_requests.jsonl` and `/srv/box/requests.jsonl`, but the real store is `/srv/box/requests/requests.jsonl`. One-line fix (add the real path); WARN is non-fatal by design.
 - `/srv/box/uploads` keeps getting reset to `root:root 700` by the box publish path (3×); manual `chown super:frontdoor; chmod 770` holds. The publish script lives outside reachable repos — durable fix needs the publish owner to add the explicit chown post-deploy.

+test_clean_transcript.py — Unit and integration tests for clean line-by-line transcript view:
+1. Default display style is 'clean' (no box borders, no bottom rules, no vertical pipe bars).
+2. Clean mode renders bullet header indicators (● AGENT, ▸ YOU) and 2-space indented body lines.
+3. Boxed mode retains classic ASCII/Unicode frames (┌──, │  , └───).
+4. Runtime style toggling via 'b' / 'B' hotkey in Normal mode.
+5. Slash commands: /clean, /boxed, /view, /compact.
+6. Selection and copy extraction (_copy_rendered_line_range) handles clean formatting seamlessly.
+7. Settings persistence in ~/.config/muse-cli/tui_settings.json.

+1. Multi-environment clipboard engine (desktop utilities, OSC 52, internal buffer).
+2. Transcript formatting engine (Markdown structured headers, roles, seq, id).
+3. UI-first button approach:
+   - Clickable [📋 Copy All] in thread header.
+   - Clickable [📋 Copy] button on each message header.
+4. Normal mode hotkeys:
+   - 'y': copy latest/active message to clipboard.
+   - 'Y': copy entire chat transcript to clipboard.
+5. Slash commands:
+   - '/copy', '/yank', '/cp': copy full transcript.
+   - '/copy last', '/copy message': copy latest message.

+test_paste_handling.py — Unit tests for long string / chunk paste handling in MuseTUI:
+1. Multi-line chunk pasting preserves newlines and does not send immediately.
+2. Enter key submits the entire chunk as a single message and single history item.
+3. Bracketed paste sequences (\033[200~ ... \033[201~) are correctly parsed and captured.
+4. Alt+Enter (ESC + Enter) inserts newlines for multiline composition.
+5. Unbracketed rapid paste bursts preserve newlines without line-by-line send.
+6. Arrow keys navigate lines within multiline buffer.
+7. UTF-8 multibyte characters are correctly decoded and inserted into buffer.
+8. Multiline messages or file paths starting with '/' are delivered as messages.
