Disable the externally updated cron job before yielding to the event loop so slow Windows CI cannot run the short-interval job before the test writes the update.
Keep private URL access blocked at the tool boundary, but return a clear non-retryable hint so the agent can recover conversationally instead of aborting the turn.

Keep the /dev workspace guard exception scoped to the known benign device paths already handled by ExecTool, and add coverage that non-benign /dev targets still get blocked. Also add a streaming regression for tool_error responses so fatal tool failures are delivered by channels instead of being marked as already streamed.

Replaces PR #3493's blanket fatal abort with a "tell the model + throttle
the bypass loop" policy. Workspace-bound rejections are now ordinary
recoverable tool errors enriched with a structured "this is a hard policy
boundary" instruction; SSRF stays the only marker that aborts the turn.
Why the fatal-abort approach broke
----------------------------------
PR #3493 promoted every shell `_guard_command` and filesystem path-resolution
rejection to a turn-fatal RuntimeError. Two of those messages (`path
outside working dir` and `path traversal detected`) are heuristic substring
scans on the raw command, so legitimate commands like `rm <ws>/x.txt
2>/dev/null` or `find . -type f` killed the user's turn (#3599). On
channels with outbound dedupe (Telegram) the user just saw silence (#3605),
and the noise polluted the LLM's context until it started hallucinating
guard rejections on plain relative paths (#3597).
Why we still need *some* throttle
---------------------------------
The original #3493 pain point was real: the LLM, refused once, would
swap tools and try again -- read_file -> exec cat -> exec cp -> bash -c
-> ln -sf -> python -c open(...). Just removing the fatal escape lets
that loop run wild until max_iterations.
What this commit does
---------------------
- `nanobot/utils/runtime.py`: add `workspace_violation_signature` and
`repeated_workspace_violation_error`. The signature normalizes
filesystem `path` arguments and the first absolute path inside an
exec command, so swapping tools against the same outside target hits
the same throttle bucket. Two soft attempts are allowed; the third
attempt's tool result is replaced with a hard "stop trying to bypass"
message that quotes the target path and tells the model to ask the
user for help.
- `nanobot/agent/runner.py`: split classification into `_is_ssrf_violation`
(still fatal) and `_is_workspace_violation` (now soft). All three
failure branches in `_run_tool` (prep_error / exception / Error
result) route through a shared `_classify_violation` that bumps the
per-turn workspace_violation_counts dict and either keeps the tool's
own message or substitutes the throttle escalation. `_execute_tools`
now threads that dict alongside the existing external_lookup_counts.
- `nanobot/agent/tools/shell.py`: append a structured boundary note to
every workspace-bound guard rejection (`working_dir could not be
resolved`, `working_dir is outside`, `path outside working dir`,
`path traversal detected`). SSRF errors stay short and direct so the
model doesn't try to "phrase around" them. Existing `2>/dev/null`
allow-list and benign device passthrough from the previous commit
remain.
- `nanobot/agent/tools/filesystem.py`: append the same boundary note to
the `outside allowed directory` PermissionError so read_file / write_file
/ list_dir errors give the LLM the same explicit hint.
Tests
-----
- `tests/utils/test_workspace_violation_throttle.py` (new): signature
collapses across read_file/exec/python -c against the same path,
different paths get independent budgets, escalation only fires after
the third attempt.
- `tests/agent/test_runner.py`:
- `test_runner_does_not_abort_on_workspace_violation_anymore` -- v2
contract: filesystem PermissionError is now soft, runner moves to
the next iteration and finalizes cleanly.
- `test_is_ssrf_violation_remains_fatal` + the existing
`test_runner_aborts_on_ssrf_violation` -- SSRF still aborts on the
first attempt.
- `test_runner_lets_llm_recover_from_shell_guard_path_outside` -- end
to end recovery from `path outside working dir`.
- `test_runner_throttles_repeated_workspace_bypass_attempts` -- four
bypass attempts against the same outside target produce at least
one `workspace_violation_escalated` event and the run completes
naturally without aborting the turn.
- The two `_execute_tools` direct-call tests now pass the new
workspace_violation_counts dict.
- `tests/tools/test_tool_validation.py`: relax three `==` assertions
to `startswith` + "hard policy boundary" substring check to match
the new structured error messages.
- `tests/tools/test_exec_security.py` keeps the prior `2>/dev/null`
regression and the `> /etc/issue` negative case from the previous
commit on this branch -- they still pass under the new policy.
Coverage status: full pytest 2648 passed / 2 skipped (was 2638 / 2
on origin/main). Ruff is clean for every file touched in this commit.

PR #3493 promoted every shell `_guard_command` rejection to a turn-fatal
RuntimeError. The two heuristic outputs in that list -- `path outside
working dir` and `path traversal detected` -- routinely false-positive on
benign constructs (e.g. `2>/dev/null`, quoted `..` arguments to sed/find,
absolute paths inside inline scripts), so legitimate workspace commands
silently kill the user's turn (#3599) and the agent never gets a chance
to retry with a different approach (#3605).
Two changes, both narrowly scoped:
- `ExecTool._guard_command` now skips a small allow-list of kernel device
files (`/dev/null`, the standard streams, `/dev/random`, `/dev/fd/N`,
...) before the workspace path check, matched against the pre-resolve
string so symlinks like `/dev/stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2` still hit the
allow-list. Real outside writes such as `> /etc/issue` remain blocked.
- `AgentRunner._WORKSPACE_BLOCK_MARKERS` keeps only the four hard
path-resolution errors from filesystem.py / shell.py and the SSRF
marker. The two heuristic substrings move out of the fatal list, so
the LLM sees them as ordinary tool errors and can self-correct in the
next iteration. SSRF stays fatal because retrying an internal URL
with a different phrasing would defeat the safety boundary.
Tests:
- `tests/tools/test_exec_security.py`: parametrized regression for the
exact #3599 command sample plus other stdio redirects and device
reads; explicit negative case asserts `> /etc/issue` is still blocked.
- `tests/agent/test_runner.py`: `_is_workspace_violation` no longer
fatals on the two heuristic markers, plus an end-to-end case proving
the runner hands the guard error back to the LLM and finalizes the
next turn cleanly.
Keep provider retry wait messages on the interactive progress path so they do not fall through as assistant responses.

Past assistant turns in history were prefixed with "[Message Time: ...]"
just like user turns. The model treated these as in-context demos and
started prefixing its own replies with the same marker, leaking
metadata to the user. Prompt-level warnings could not beat dozens of
prior assistant samples.
Annotate only user turns and proactive deliveries
(_channel_delivery=True, i.e. cron / heartbeat pushes whose timing is
the whole point and which are too infrequent to act as demos). Adjacent
user-side timestamps still pin every normal assistant reply for
relative-time reasoning. The now-redundant identity.md warning is
removed along with the demonstration source.
Slack inbound events with subtype=file_share were silently dropped, so
nanobot never saw messages that included attachments. Allow file_share
through, download Slack-private files using the bot token into the
local media dir, and pass them to the agent as media paths plus a
"[file: name]" / "[image: name]" placeholder in the content. Reject
responses that look like Slack's login HTML so an auth page is never
saved as if it were the user's file. Document the required files:read
scope alongside files:write so installs that read attachments are not
quietly missing the permission.
_with_thread_context prepends conversation history to the message
content. This turned "/restart" into "Slack thread context...\n\n
Current message:\n/restart", which the command router could not match
as a priority command. Skip the context enrichment when the stripped
text starts with "/".

cmd_restart only persisted channel + chat_id across the os.execv boundary, so
when the new process announced "Restart completed" the OutboundMessage had
no Slack thread_ts and the reply fell back to the channel root.
Serialize msg.metadata into NANOBOT_RESTART_NOTIFY_METADATA, restore it on the
RestartNotice, and forward it to OutboundMessage so the completion message
follows the same routing as the original /restart invocation.

The old prompt framed cron firing as a "task triggered" status report,
which led the agent to reply with things like "Done ✅ 已提醒
U0AV8BJPV8D 喝水" — exposing the user id and reading like a system log
instead of a friendly reminder. Reword it to instruct the agent to
speak directly to the user and forbid status-style language.

Without writing these fields into jobs.json, cron jobs created in a

Add signed media URLs to live WebSocket replies and teach the WebUI to classify and render video attachments, so bot-sent videos can play inline in both live chats and session history.

Telegram previously sent all video files as documents via send_document,
so users saw a file icon instead of an inline player. WebSocket only
accepted image MIME types, rejecting video uploads entirely.
Telegram:
- Recognize video extensions (mp4/mov/avi/mkv/webm/3gp) in _get_media_type
- Route videos through send_video with supports_streaming=True
- Add VIDEO/VIDEO_NOTE/ANIMATION to inbound message filters
- Add video MIME mappings to _get_extension
- Fix: local file sends now use _call_with_retry (previously no retry)
WebSocket:
- Expand upload MIME whitelist with video/mp4, video/webm, video/quicktime
- Add per-type size limits (_MAX_VIDEO_BYTES=20MB, _MAX_VIDEOS_PER_MESSAGE=1)
- Expand media serving endpoint to serve video with correct Content-Type

- Add "video" to message tool media parameter description
- Add .mp4 example to identity.md system prompt

Two issues with DeepSeek V4 thinking mode support:
1. Missing thinking parameter injection.
DeepSeek V4 requires `extra_body: {"thinking": {"type": "enabled/disabled"}}`
— identical to VolcEngine/BytePlus. The code had this for volcengine,
byteplus, dashscope, minimax, and kimi but not DeepSeek. This means
`reasoning_effort=minimal` (thinking off) silently has no effect.
Root cause: the thinking-style→wire-format mapping was an if/elif chain
on provider *names*. DeepSeek was forgotten.
Fix: make the mapping declarative via `ProviderSpec.thinking_style`:
- "thinking_type" → {"thinking": {"type": "..."}} (DeepSeek, Volc, BytePlus)
- "enable_thinking" → {"enable_thinking": bool} (DashScope)
- "reasoning_split" → {"reasoning_split": bool} (MiniMax)
`_build_kwargs` now does a single dict lookup. Adding a new provider
with an existing wire format requires zero changes to the function.
2. Legacy session messages crash thinking-mode requests.
When a session was started without thinking mode (or with a different
model), assistant messages lack reasoning_content. DeepSeek V4 in
thinking mode rejects these with 400:
"The reasoning_content in the thinking mode must be passed back to the API."
This affects ALL assistant messages, not just those with tool_calls
(despite the docs only mentioning the tool_calls case).
Fix: `_build_kwargs` backfills `reasoning_content: ""` on every
assistant message missing it, but only when thinking mode is active.
This is semantically neutral — the model treats empty reasoning_content
as "no thinking happened on that turn". The backfill only touches the
in-memory request copy; session files on disk are untouched.
Tests: +5 (3 thinking toggle, 2 backfill). Full suite: 2377 passed.
