Manual testing against the live API showed the Keenable REST endpoint
(/v1/search) returns 401 without a key — the keyless "free tier" applies
only to the CLI, not the HTTP API. Treat Keenable like every other
key-based provider: fall back to DuckDuckGo when no key is configured,
and drop the now-inaccurate free-tier wording from the docs.

Bring the Keenable search provider in line with the established
multi-file provider pattern so it surfaces everywhere the others do:
- settings_api.py: register in the web-search provider options so it
appears in the WebUI settings dropdown (credential: api_key, optional).
- WebUI provider-brand: add keenable brand entry + brand test.
- docs/configuration.md: provider table row + config example.
- Harden _search_keenable: honor config.timeout and return explicit
messages on HTTP status errors (429 / other), matching peer providers.
- Add env-key and HTTP-error tests; add the websocket settings whitelist
assertion.

maintainer edit: spell out that arbitrary named custom providers use the OpenAI-compatible request format only, and point Anthropic-compatible proxies to the built-in anthropic provider with apiBase.
maintainer edit: explain how to configure arbitrary OpenAI-compatible provider names, including multiple endpoints, model presets, and troubleshooting guidance.
- Add StepFunTranscriptionProvider class in nanobot/providers/transcription.py
- New _post_stepfun_asr_with_retry() function handling SSE stream parsing
(transcript.text.delta → transcript.text.done event sequence)
- Register 'stepfun' in transcription_registry.py with default model stepaudio-2.5-asr
- Reuse existing stepfun provider config (apiBase can point to Plan endpoint)
- Add 17 tests covering SSE parsing, retry contract, empty-text edge case, and registry integration
- Update docs/configuration.md with stepfun ASR documentation
StepFun ASR uses a dedicated SSE endpoint (/v1/audio/asr/sse) rather
than the chat-completions or Whisper multipart formats used by other
providers. Users on Step Plan can set apiBase to the Plan endpoint.

Add AssemblyAI as a third transcription provider option alongside
OpenAI and Groq. AssemblyAI offers better accuracy for certain
audio types (distant voices, noisy environments) and serves as a
reliable fallback when other providers struggle.
Changes:
- Add AssemblyAITranscriptionProvider class in providers/transcription.py
- Add 'assemblyai' option in base channel's transcribe_audio()
- Per-channel configuration via transcriptionProvider in config
Usage:
Set transcriptionProvider: 'assemblyai' and provide an AssemblyAI
API key via transcriptionApiKey in the channel config.
Add support for Xiaomi MiMo ASR as a third transcription backend alongside
Groq and OpenAI Whisper. Xiaomi ASR uses the /v1/chat/completions endpoint
with base64-encoded audio input, rather than the standard Whisper multipart
upload format.
Co-Authored-By:连 <lian@tangping.homes>
Add a `transcriptionModel` channel setting and an OpenRouter transcription
backend so voice messages can be transcribed through OpenRouter's
speech-to-text endpoint (e.g. nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3, openai/whisper-1),
alongside the existing Groq/OpenAI Whisper providers.
- schema: add channels.transcriptionModel (None = provider default)
- providers/transcription: extract a shared POST/retry skeleton; add a
JSON+base64 OpenRouterTranscriptionProvider; make the STT model a
constructor param on all providers instead of hardcoding it
- channels: route transcriptionProvider="openrouter" and thread the model
through the manager to each channel
- docs + tests
Only dedicated STT models work on OpenRouter's transcription endpoint;
chat LLMs (e.g. google/gemini-3.5-flash) are rejected there.

Maintainer edit: explain that HTTP/SSE MCP now uses the shared SSRF guard before connecting and before following redirects, so local or private HTTP MCP endpoints require an explicit tools.ssrfWhitelist entry.
Remove standalone nanobot/heartbeat/ service and replace it with an
auto-registered system cron job on gateway startup. Key behaviors preserved:
- HeartbeatConfig (enabled, interval_s, keep_recent_messages) remains in
GatewayConfig for backward compatibility.
- On startup, if enabled, a system cron job "heartbeat" is registered with
schedule derived from interval_s.
- HEARTBEAT.md is checked on each tick; empty/template-identical files skip
to avoid wasting LLM calls.
- Post-run evaluate_response and session history truncation
(keep_recent_messages) are retained.
- Delivery target selection, deliverable filtering, and preamble guidance
are preserved.
Files removed:
- nanobot/heartbeat/__init__.py
- nanobot/heartbeat/service.py
- tests/heartbeat/*
- tests/agent/test_heartbeat_service.py
Templates and docs updated to reflect cron-based usage.
Document how to use StepFun's Step Plan subscription endpoint with the
existing `stepfun` provider by overriding `apiBase`, following the same
pattern as the `zhipu` provider's coding plan documentation.
- **Base URL**: `https://api.stepfun.com/step_plan/v1` (dedicated endpoint)
- **API Key**: same `STEPFUN_API_KEY` as the regular `stepfun` provider
- **Models**: `step-3.5-flash`, `step-3.5-flash-2603`, `step-router-v1`
Changes:
- `docs/configuration.md` — provider tip, and config example showing
`apiBase` override on the existing `stepfun` provider
Test: 488/488 provider tests passed.
Replace standalone 'Token Plan' section with general Xiaomi MiMo
section using the built-in xiaomi_mimo provider. Token plan becomes
a note within the section, since it's just an apiBase override.
Key changes:
- Use xiaomi_mimo provider (auto-matches via 'mimo' keyword in model name)
- Drop redundant provider field (auto-detected)
- Add token plan tip to provider tips block
- Restructure as general Xiaomi MiMo section with token plan as note
Add APIFree as a built-in OpenAI-compatible provider. APIFree offers
agent-optimised models such as skywork-ai/skyclaw-v1 through an
OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.apifree.ai/agent/v1.
Changes:
- Register apifree provider in the provider registry
- Add config schema field
- Add documentation with configuration example
- Add provider tests, websocket channel tests, and webui tests
- Add provider icon in settings UI
- Note that any string field supports ${VAR_NAME} and resolved values are
never written back to disk.
- Document the failure mode for unset variables.
- Add MCP (stdio env + HTTP headers) and web-search examples.
- Add Docker, direnv, and secret-manager (1Password / pass / Bitwarden)
delivery patterns alongside the existing systemd example.
- Replace plaintext apiKey values in tools.web.search examples (Brave,
Tavily, Jina, Kagi, Olostep) with ${PROVIDER_API_KEY} placeholders so
the docs stop modelling the anti-pattern.
- Cross-link from the Security section.

Resolve fallbackModels as preset references or explicit inline provider configs so failover uses complete model settings without exposing fallback logic to the agent loop.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Bind fallback model chains to the active model configuration so defaults and presets do not inherit or merge fallback behavior implicitly. Require explicit fallback providers while preserving per-fallback generation overrides and context-window safety.

Reasoning now flows as its own stream — symmetric to the answer's
``delta`` / ``stream_end`` pair — instead of being shipped as one
oversized progress message. This lets WebUI render a live "Thinking…"
bubble that updates in place, then auto-collapses when the stream
closes. Other channels remain plugin no-ops by default.
## Protocol
New metadata: ``_reasoning_delta`` (chunk) and ``_reasoning_end``
(close marker). ChannelManager routes both to the dedicated plugin
hooks below; the legacy one-shot ``_reasoning`` is kept for back-compat
and BaseChannel expands it into a single delta + end pair so plugins
only ever implement the streaming primitives.
WebSocket emits two new events:
- ``reasoning_delta`` (event, chat_id, text, optional stream_id)
- ``reasoning_end`` (event, chat_id, optional stream_id)
## BaseChannel surface
- ``send_reasoning_delta(chat_id, delta, metadata)`` — no-op default
- ``send_reasoning_end(chat_id, metadata)`` — no-op default
- ``send_reasoning(msg)`` — back-compat wrapper, base impl forwards
to the streaming primitives
A channel adds reasoning support by overriding the two streaming
primitives. Telegram / Slack / Discord / Feishu / WeChat / Matrix keep
the base no-ops until their bubble UIs are adapted; reasoning silently
drops at dispatch, never as a stray text message.
## AgentHook
Adds ``emit_reasoning_end`` to the hook lifecycle. ``_LoopHook`` tracks
whether a reasoning segment is open and closes it on:
- the first answer delta arriving (so the UI locks the bubble before
the answer renders below),
- ``on_stream_end``,
- one-shot ``reasoning_content`` / ``thinking_blocks`` after a single
non-streaming response.
## WebUI
- ``UIMessage.reasoning`` is now a single accumulated string with a
companion ``reasoningStreaming`` flag.
- ``useNanobotStream`` consumes ``reasoning_delta`` / ``reasoning_end``;
legacy ``kind: "reasoning"`` is auto-translated to a delta + end.
- New ``ReasoningBubble``: shimmer header + auto-expanded while
streaming, collapses to a clickable "Thinking" pill once closed,
respects ``prefers-reduced-motion``.
- Answer deltas adopt the reasoning placeholder so the bubble and the
answer share one assistant row.
## Tests
- ``tests/channels/test_channel_manager_reasoning.py`` — manager routes
delta + end, drops on channel opt-out, expands one-shot back-compat.
- ``tests/channels/test_websocket_channel.py`` — new ``reasoning_delta``
/ ``reasoning_end`` frames, empty-chunk safety, no-subscriber safety,
back-compat expansion.
- ``tests/agent/test_runner_reasoning.py`` — runner closes the segment
on streaming answer start and after one-shot reasoning.
- WebUI ``useNanobotStream`` + ``message-bubble`` cover the new
protocol and the shimmer styling.
## Docs
``docs/configuration.md`` and ``docs/websocket.md`` document the new
events and the plugin contract.

Reasoning was being shipped to every channel as a generic progress
message with a `_reasoning: true` flag. Two problems with that:
1. Channels without a low-emphasis UI primitive (Telegram, Slack,
Discord, Feishu...) would dump raw model thoughts as ordinary
replies, polluting the conversation.
2. The agent loop double-gated by inspecting `channels_config`, which
coupled the loop to display policy.
Treat reasoning as its own plugin action — `BaseChannel.send_reasoning`
defaults to a documented no-op; channels that have a fitting affordance
override. ChannelManager routes `_reasoning` outbounds to that method
only when the channel opts in via `show_reasoning` (camelCase alias
`showReasoning` mirrors `sendProgress`). Plugins that don't override
silently drop reasoning — "no fit, no leak" is the contract.
Reference implementation lands for WebSocket / WebUI: a new
`kind: "reasoning"` frame, parked on the active assistant bubble as a
collapsible `Thinking` group above the answer. CLI keeps its existing
direct path (it doesn't go through the bus). `ChannelsConfig.show_reasoning`
flips to `true` by default — only adapted channels surface anything,
others stay quiet.
Loop net diff is -3 lines: the `channels_config.show_reasoning` check
moves out, leaving emit_reasoning a one-liner that publishes and trusts
the channel to decide.

Resolves conflicts after main landed the state-machine turn refactor
and the test_runner.py 9-file split:
- nanobot/agent/loop.py: take main's `_state_build`/`_persist_user_message_early`
flow; restore the `reasoning: bool` parameter on `_build_bus_progress_callback`
so the loop hook can mark progress as reasoning-channel without coupling to
the answer stream.
- nanobot/cli/stream.py: keep main's configurable `bot_name`/`bot_icon` header
while preserving the PR's `transient=True` Live + `self._console` routing
+ `_renderable()` final-render path that fixed TUI duplication.
- tests/agent/test_runner.py was deleted on main and split into 9 focused
files; relocated all 6 reasoning tests into a new `test_runner_reasoning.py`
matching the new layout, deduplicated the per-test `ReasoningHook` boilerplate
through a shared `_RecordingHook` helper.
