Removed a section discussing the legitimacy of using the Claude Agent SDK with a subscription.
You shouldn't be saying that.
You are right, you are not a lawyer.
Claude's ToS specify fair use about what an agent can be used for. It's nothing to do with whether you've used the SDK.
Let people make their own minds up.
To advertise something like this is beyond our pay grade.
- Add UX note instructing Claude to use AskUserQuestion tool for better
interactive experience during setup
- Add new Section 7 explaining the main channel's elevated privileges
(admin control portal) before registration
- Include interactive security acknowledgment with follow-up for users
choosing shared groups
- Renumber subsequent sections (7→8, 8→9, 9→10)

Adds a skill to integrate Parallel AI MCP servers for advanced web research.
What it adds:
- Quick Search MCP for fast web lookups (free to use)
- Task MCP for deep research with scheduler-based polling
- Non-blocking design using NanoClaw's scheduler
Usage: Run /add-parallel to add this integration to your fork
Follows NanoClaw philosophy:
- Skills over features - integration is optional via skill
- Keeps base codebase lean
- Users run /add-parallel on their fork for clean code

Main agent can now register new groups via MCP tool without restart.
Host updates both in-memory state and JSON file, creates group folders.
Authorization enforced at both agent and host level.

* Fix potential memory DoS via unbounded container output
Add CONTAINER_MAX_OUTPUT_SIZE (default 10MB) to limit accumulated
stdout/stderr from container processes. Without this limit, a malicious
or buggy container could emit huge output leading to host memory
exhaustion.
Changes:
- Add configurable CONTAINER_MAX_OUTPUT_SIZE in config.ts
- Implement size-limited output buffering in runContainerAgent
- Log warnings when truncation occurs
- Include truncation status in container logs

Previously, lastTimestamp was unconditionally advanced after each message,
even if processMessage failed. This caused transient errors to permanently
drop messages since they would never be retried.
Now the cursor only advances after successful processing, implementing
at-least-once delivery semantics. On failure, the loop breaks and the
failed message will be retried on the next poll iteration.

ASSISTANT_NAME was interpolated directly into a regex without escaping.
If the name contained regex metacharacters (e.g., @A.*), the trigger
would match unintended patterns. This adds escapeRegex() to properly
escape special characters before building the TRIGGER_PATTERN.

updateChatName() was inserting new groups with last_message_time set to
Unix epoch (1970-01-01), causing newly discovered groups to appear at
the bottom of activity-ordered listings. Changed to use current time
for new groups while preserving existing timestamps for known groups.

* Add secure mount allowlist validation
Addresses arbitrary host mount vulnerability by validating additional
mounts against an external allowlist stored at ~/.config/nanoclaw/.
This location is never mounted into containers, making it tamper-proof.
Security measures:
- Allowlist cached in memory (edits require process restart)
- Real path resolution (blocks symlink and .. traversal attacks)
- Blocked patterns for sensitive paths (.ssh, .gnupg, .aws, etc.)
- Non-main groups forced to read-only when nonMainReadOnly is true
- Container path validation prevents /workspace/extra escape
https://claude.ai/code/session_01BPqdNy4EAHHJcdtZ27TXkh
* Add mount allowlist setup to /setup skill
Interactive walkthrough that asks users:
- Whether they want agents to access external directories
- Which directories to allow (with paths)
- Read-write vs read-only for each
- Whether non-main groups should be restricted to read-only
Creates ~/.config/nanoclaw/mount-allowlist.json based on answers.

Scheduled tasks can now run in either:
- "group" mode: uses the group's conversation session for context
- "isolated" mode: runs with a fresh session (previous behavior)
The tool description guides the agent on when to use each mode and
prompts them to ask the user if unclear. Group mode is now the default.

- PR #10: Add sentinel markers for robust JSON parsing between container
and host. Fallback to last-line parsing for backwards compatibility.
- PR #5: Look up target JID from registeredGroups instead of trusting
IPC payload, fixing cross-group scheduled tasks getting wrong chat_jid.
- PR #8: Add lightweight schedule validation in container MCP that
returns errors to agents (cron syntax, positive interval, valid ISO
timestamp). Also defensive validation on host side.

Previously, lastAgentTimestamp was updated regardless of whether
runAgent succeeded or failed. This caused messages to be skipped
on retry after a failure since they were already marked as processed.
Now the timestamp is only advanced when the agent returns a valid
response, ensuring failed messages will be included in the next retry.
https://claude.ai/code/session_0118wNAJCKY2Asr17Lb91TE2
Previously, lastTimestamp was advanced before processing messages.
If processMessage threw an error, those messages would be skipped
on the next tick since the timestamp had already moved past them.
Now we advance lastTimestamp after each message is successfully
processed (or after catching an error), ensuring no messages are
lost on retry.

Replace environment-specific fallback '/Users/gavriel' with os.homedir()
and proper error handling. The new getHomeDir() helper function:
- First checks process.env.HOME
- Falls back to os.homedir() for cross-platform support
- Throws a clear error if home directory cannot be determined
https://claude.ai/code/session_011Cs2FWxXMvAdAh4w9A6AZC
Each container now gets its own IPC directory (/data/ipc/{groupFolder}/)
instead of a shared global directory. Identity is determined by which
directory a request came from, not by self-reported data in IPC files.
Authorization enforced:
- send_message: only to chatJids belonging to the source group
- schedule_task: only for the source group (main can target any)
- pause/resume/cancel_task: only for tasks owned by source group
https://claude.ai/code/session_018nmxNEbtgJH7cKDyBSQGAw
Previously, the entire .env file was copied and mounted into containers,
exposing all environment variables to the agent. Now only the specific
authentication variables needed by Claude Code (CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) are extracted and mounted.
