v0.8.6: general mode, clipboard text, PDF text extraction

Working mode: --mode coding|general (CST_MODE, settings.json, /mode,
WebUI run settings). general swaps the default framing for a general
assistant one -- workflow, safety notes, tool wording (run_shell, the
subagents) -- and /status shows it; minimal (the paper profile) stays
byte-frozen. The prompt state carries the mode so a switch leaves a
system note in history.

Clipboard: clipboard_read / clipboard_write tools (16 MiB cap read,
default 64 KiB window; writing is a WRITE permission with a preview) on
pbcopy / wl-copy / xclip / pbpaste / wl-paste / xclip and the Win32
clipboard. In the TUI, /attach paste falls back to clipboard text when
there is no image on it.

PDF: a dependency-free text extractor (src/pdf_text.c): inflate,
Flate/ASCIIHex/ASCII85, PNG/TIFF predictors, layout-independent object
scan, object streams, page tree walk with inherited resources, content
lexer (Tj/TJ/'/" and the Td/TD/T*/Tm spacing heuristics), per-font
ToUnicode CMaps and inline images skipped. Encrypted files and pages
with no text layer are refused with the reason.

Attachments: /attach (a path or files dropped on the terminal) now take
images, PDFs and text. A PDF is stored as its text layer with the mime
still saying application/pdf and its page count; anything else has to be
UTF-8 text. Documents travel inline as text parts, so CST_NO_IMAGES and
text-only models no longer drop them, while images keep their old path.

Tests: test_pdf_text (plain, bare and zlib-framed Flate, inline image,
CID + ToUnicode, object stream, error paths), documents in test_attach,
inlined documents in test_llm_body, mode in test_config.

+推送到 `main` 或 `v*` tag 时每个任务把自己的产物上传到 Gitea Release `vVERSION`（同名资源会被替换）；
+仓库可设 `RELEASE_TOKEN`（`write:repository`），否则用任务自带 token。

+
+从 [Release](https://git.whcself.xyz/WHC/CST-agent/releases) 下载
+`cst-agent-VERSION-windows-x86_64-setup.exe` 运行即可：按当前用户安装到
+`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\cst-agent`（不需要管理员），把这个目录加进**用户** PATH，
+开始菜单里放一个“CST-Agent WebUI”（在用户目录启动 `cst-agent --web --web-open`）。
+系统低于 Windows 10 1903 时安装包会直接拒绝。
+
+卸载：设置 → 应用 → CST-Agent，或运行安装目录里的 `uninstall.exe`；会去掉 PATH 里的这一项。
+API key 和设置在 `%APPDATA%\cst-agent`，卸载时保留。
+安装包装的文件和 zip 一样，所以之后也能用 `cst-agent-update` 升级，或者重新运行新版安装包覆盖。

-pacman -S --needed --noconfirm \
-  mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-make \

-
-cd agent
-cmake -B build-win -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-cmake --build build-win --target cst-agent -j"$(nproc)"
-```
-
-`CST_BUILD_TUI=ON` (the default) picks up MSYS2's PDCurses automatically,
-including its `include/pdcurses/` layout; set `-DPDCurses_ROOT=...` only for
-a custom PDCurses.
-
-Two differences from the cross-build release layout above:
-
-- **Extra DLLs.** MSYS2's curl package is the shared OpenSSL build, so the
-  executable needs its whole dependency chain beside it. Collect it with
-  `ldd build-win/cst-agent.exe | grep mingw64`.
-- **Only build the `cst-agent` target.** Some sources under `tests/` are
-  POSIX-only (two-argument `mkdir`, `setenv`, `arpa/inet.h`, `symlink`) and
-  do not compile with MinGW. The main program is unaffected.
-

+
+## 编码：全部 UTF-8
+
+- exe 内嵌 `activeCodePage=UTF-8` 清单：进程的 ANSI 代码页就是 65001，命令行参数、
+  环境变量、文件名都以 UTF-8 进出；内部所有路径在系统调用边界转成 UTF-16（`*W` API）。
+- 控制台输入输出代码页在启动时设为 65001，退出时恢复。
+- 文件按字节读写，不做换行转换。`read_file` 给模型看的是去掉 `\r` 的文本；`edit_file`、
+  `apply_patch`、`write_file` 会保持原文件的 CRLF 换行和 UTF-8 BOM。
+- 子进程输出：先按 UTF-8 解码；不是合法 UTF-8 时依次尝试控制台代码页、系统 OEM / ANSI
+  代码页（比如中文系统的 936），转成 UTF-8 再交给模型。
+- 中文用户名、中文工作区路径（`C:\Users\测试\项目`）都已在中英文系统上测过。
+
+## 终端界面（TUI）
+
+用的是打过补丁的 ncurses 6.6 Windows 控制台驱动（补丁在
+`scripts/patches/ncurses-6.6-win32-console.patch`）：
+
+- 中文按两列宽显示，光标位置正确；粘贴多行不会直接发送。
+- 鼠标：点击、拖选复制（写入 Windows 剪贴板）、滚轮滚动；`/mouse` 关闭。
+- `/copy` 和拖选复制走 Win32 剪贴板 API，不依赖终端的 OSC 52。
+- 控制台是点阵字体时（显示不了中文，会变成 `?`），启动时自动换成同字号的 Consolas
+  （中文系统换成新宋体），退出时换回去。
+- 传统控制台不做字形回退：当前字体缺 logo 用的方块字符时（比如中文系统默认的新宋体），
+  首页改用文字 logo。
+
+## Shell 沙箱：Low 完整性级别
+
+`auto` 确认模式下，`run_shell` 在 Low 完整性级别的受限令牌里运行（界面显示 `auto · lowil`）：
+
+- 子进程的令牌去掉了管理员组和特权，完整性级别为 Low（S-1-16-4096），放进 Job Object，
+  超时或按 Esc 时整个进程树一起结束。
+- Low 进程只能写标为 Low 的位置。第一次在某个工作区跑沙箱命令时，CST-Agent 给工作区
+  加上可继承的 Low 标签（`S:(ML;OICI;NW;;;LW)`），并在输出里提示一次；
+  记录写进 `sandbox-labels`。沙箱的临时目录是 `%TEMP%\cst-agent-sandbox`（同样标为 Low），
+  子进程的 `TEMP` / `TMP` 指向这里。
+- 不会给盘符根目录、用户目录本身、`%APPDATA%`、`%LOCALAPPDATA%`、`%TEMP%` 本身，
+  以及 Windows、Program Files、ProgramData 下面的目录打标签：在这些地方启动时，命令不会运行，
+  界面会问是否在沙箱外重跑。请在项目目录里启动。
+- `/sandbox` 列出打过标签的目录；`/sandbox reset-labels` 恢复它们原来的标签。
+- 沙箱里可以读、执行用户能访问的文件（凭据文件除外），**不限制联网**：`curl`、`git pull`、
+  `npm install` 等联网命令在 `auto` 模式下也直接在沙箱里运行。
+- 命令像是被拦了（`Access is denied`、`拒绝访问`、`Permission denied` 等）时，会问
+  “Rerun outside the sandbox?”：`y` 在沙箱外重跑一次，`p` 保存命令前缀规则并重跑，`n` 保留结果。
+- MSYS2 / Cygwin 的程序（包括 Git for Windows 自带的 `usr\bin` 工具）在 Low 级别下无法初始化
+  （`0xc0000142`），同样会触发上面的重跑询问。Git for Windows 的 `git.exe` 本身不受影响。
+- `CST_SANDBOX=off` 关闭沙箱（`auto` 退回只读白名单规则）；`CST_SANDBOX=lowil` 只用 Low IL。
+
+它防的是误操作写坏工作区以外的文件，不是对抗恶意程序的安全边界。
+
+## 从源码构建
+
+两种方式产物一样：`dist/windows-x86_64/` 和 `dist/cst-agent-VERSION-windows-x86_64.zip`；
+装了 `makensis`（NSIS）时还有安装包 `dist/cst-agent-VERSION-windows-x86_64-setup.exe`
+（脚本在 `scripts/windows/cst-agent.nsi`）。
+第三方依赖（curl、ncurses、busybox-w32）都按固定版本从源码编译、静态链接。
+
+### 在 Linux 上交叉编译
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.whcself.xyz/WHC/CST-agent.git
+cd CST-agent
+scripts/bootstrap_windows.sh
+```
+
+NixOS / 有 Nix 时自动进 `shell-win.nix`（`pkgsCross.ucrt64`，带 NSIS）；否则需要 UCRT 版的
+mingw-w64 gcc（带 winpthreads）、cmake、ninja、git、perl。工具前缀由 `MINGW_HOST` 指定，默认
+`x86_64-w64-mingw32`；Debian trixie 起的 `gcc-mingw-w64-ucrt64` 是 `x86_64-w64-mingw32ucrt`：
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-ucrt64 binutils-mingw-w64-ucrt64 nsis cmake ninja-build perl
+MINGW_HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32ucrt scripts/bootstrap_windows.sh
+```
+
+`CST_WIN_CFLAGS` 给 `cst-agent.exe` 追加编译选项（CI 用 `-Wall -Wextra -Werror`）。
+
+### 在 Windows 上用 MSYS2 原生编译
+
+装好 [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) 后，打开 **MSYS2 UCRT64** 终端（不是 MINGW64：
+MINGW64 链接 msvcrt，UTF-8 清单不起作用）：
+
+```bash
+pacman -S --needed git
+git clone https://git.whcself.xyz/WHC/CST-agent.git
+cd CST-agent
+scripts/bootstrap_msys2.sh
+```
+
+脚本会用 pacman 装 UCRT64 的 gcc / cmake / ninja，编译依赖和 `cst-agent.exe`，跑 ctest
+（`CST_SKIP_TESTS=1` 跳过），再打包。
+
+### 测试
+
+`scripts/win_test.sh` 在本机 QEMU 里的 Windows Server 虚拟机（英文 / 中文系统，管理员 /
+普通用户 / 中文用户名）上交叉编译后跑全部测试；虚拟机的创建和控制见 `scripts/winvm/`。
+
+### 发布
+
+CI：推 `main` 或 `v*` tag 且 `windows` 任务成功后，自动把 zip、安装包和各自的 `.sha256` 发到
+Gitea Release `vVERSION`（版本来自 `include/cst_version.h`；同名资源替换）。仓库 Secrets
+可设 `RELEASE_TOKEN`（`write:repository`），没有则用 Actions 自带 token。
+
+本地：
+
+```bash
+scripts/bootstrap_windows.sh
+GITEA_TOKEN=... scripts/release.sh dist/cst-agent-*-windows-x86_64.zip dist/cst-agent-*-windows-x86_64-setup.exe
+```
+
+创建（或复用）`vVERSION` Release，上传给出的文件和旁边的 `.sha256`。token 只从环境变量读取，经 stdin
+交给 curl，不会出现在命令行参数、磁盘或输出里。发版前先 bump `cst_version.h`；推
+`vX.Y.Z` tag 时必须与头文件一致。
+
+## 已知限制
+
+- 英文等非中文系统的传统控制台默认用 Consolas，它没有中文字形，中文会显示成方框（列宽仍然正确）。
+  用 Windows Terminal，或在控制台“属性 → 字体”里选新宋体等中文字体即可。
+- 传统控制台里输入表情符号（BMP 以外的字符）可能显示不对；中文输入没问题。
+- 通过 SSH / ConPTY 远程运行时，鼠标事件不会转发过来，键盘操作不受影响。
+- 很大的工作区第一次打标签要等一会儿（标签要继承到每个文件）。
+- 只有 x86_64 发行包。

+| token 传递 | `Authorization: Bearer <t>`、`Cookie: cst_token=<t>` 或 `?token=<t>`（`EventSource` 不能设 header，所以查询参数是必需的一条路） |
+| 资源 | 只有白名单路由；路径里的 `..`/编码 NUL 一律 400；静态资源来自二进制内嵌（或 `--web-dev DIR`） |
+| 输出渲染 | 模型与工具输出都当不可信内容：Markdown 由服务端渲染，并经过标签/属性白名单（`javascript:` 链接、站外图片、`<script>` 全部丢弃） |

+| POST | `/api/settings` | `{protocol?,max_steps?,tool_profile?,tools?:{名字:bool},confirm?:{shell?,write?,net?}}`；整体校验后才生效（任何一项不对 → 400，什么都不改），成功后发 `state` |
+| GET | `/api/permissions` | 已保存的"总是允许"规则：`{text,tools[],shell_prefixes[]}`（来自 `<workspace>/.agent/permissions.json`） |
+| DELETE | `/api/permissions` | 清空这些规则 |
+| POST | `/api/init` | `{}` → 202 `{ok,text}`：开一轮，让 agent 分析仓库写 `AGENTS.md`（与 TUI `/init` 同一段提示词） |
+| POST | `/api/skill` | `{"name":"…","task":"…"?}` → 202 `{ok,text}`：把 skill 正文内联进这条消息再开一轮（同 TUI `/skill`）；没有这个 skill → 404；缺 `name` / 超过 63 字节 / `task` 不是字符串 → 400 |

+| POST | `/api/workspace` | `{"path":"/abs/dir"}` —— 换工作目录（权限规则/埋点/AGENTS.md 跟着换，扩展按新目录重新加载），并**在新目录里开一个新会话**（会话是按目录存的）；返回 `{id}`，坏路径 → 400 |

+未命中路由 → `404 {"error":"not found"}`；需要 token 而没给 → `401`。
+轮次运行中（或另一个修改正在进行）时，`sessions/new`、`sessions/switch`、`sessions/delete`、
+`workspace`、`undo`、`compact`、`attach`（上传/清空）、`provider`、`key`、`retry`、`diff`、
+`POST /api/settings`、`DELETE /api/permissions`、`init`、`skill`、`extensions/reload`、
+`extensions/trust` 以及改 `model/effort` 的 `config` 一律 **409**；
+`approval`/`plan_mode`/`show_thinking` 可以中途改，`sessions/rename`、`export` 与
+`GET /api/extensions` 在轮次进行中也能用。
+
+`/api/session` 的每条消息在会话文件的字段之外还带：
+
+| 字段 | 出现在 | 说明 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `html` | assistant | 已消毒的 Markdown 渲染结果（文本协议时只渲染说明文字，不含调用帧） |
+| `text` | 文本协议的 assistant | 去掉调用帧后的说明文字（`content` 仍是原文） |
+| `calls` | 带工具调用的 assistant | `[{id,name,args}]`：原生协议来自 `tool_calls`，文本协议从 `content` 解析 |
+| `tool_result` | 工具结果 | `true`；原生协议 role 是 `tool`，文本协议 role 是 `user`（凭 `tool_call_id` 区分） |
+| `out`,`exit`,`truncated` | 工具结果 | 去掉 `[tool …]` / `result … end` 外框后的输出（截到 32 KiB，按字符边界）与退出码 |
+| `note` | 引擎插入的提示 | `true`；如中途切换计划模式时的 `[cst] …` 说明，不是用户说的话 |
+
+客户端据此在刷新后重建"本轮工具调用"列表：`calls` 建行，`tool_call_id` 相同的结果填进去。
+
+key 只出现在请求体里：回复、事件、日志都不会带它。`/api/provider` 与 `/api/key`
+跟其它 `/api/*` 一样受 loopback 同源检查或 token 保护。
+
+### 客户端接入示例（10 行）
+
+```python
+import json, urllib.request
+base = "http://127.0.0.1:8787"
+def api(path, body=None, token=None):
+    req = urllib.request.Request(base + path, method="POST" if body is not None else "GET")
+    if token: req.add_header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
+    data = json.dumps(body).encode() if body is not None else None
+    return urllib.request.urlopen(req, data).read()
+api("/api/turn", {"text": "hello"})           # 之后读 /api/events 收流
+```
+
+### 空 body 的 POST
+
+`POST /api/cancel`、`/api/undo`、`/api/compact`、`/api/quit` 不需要 body。
+没有 `Content-Length` 头的 POST 按 RFC 9112 §6.3 视为**空 body**（`curl -X POST`
+正是这样发的），但该连接不再复用（服务端随后关闭它）：后面是否跟着未声明的
+字节无法判断。
+
+## 前端实现（web/）
+
+没有构建步骤：`web/index.html` + `web/app.js` + `web/style.css` 是纯 ES module，
+编译时被 `scripts/embed_web.sh` 塞进二进制（`.gen/web_assets.inc`，跟内置模型数据同一招），
+所以 Windows 发布包依旧是单个 exe。`--web-dev DIR` 可以绕过内嵌版本直接读目录。
+
+Markdown 在**服务端**渲染（复用 TUI 用的 sashidown 流式 API），客户端只贴 HTML；
+因此不需要引入任何 JS 依赖，也顺带保证了"只发送已确认的 HTML"。
+
+界面本身：左栏可收（顶栏按钮 / `?side=0`），右栏可收（`?panel=0`），主题 `?theme=dark|light`；
+三个开关都会记进 `localStorage`，带查询参数时以参数为准。空状态只留一句提示，第一轮
+对话开始后自动隐去；右栏只给三件事——任务清单、本轮文件改动行数（`+N −M`）、上下文
+占用与 prompt cache 命中率。布局类在页面脚本之前就写进 `<body>`，避免首帧闪一下再收起。
+
+对话列：正文、过程块、提示行和输入框共用同一条左边线，正文宽度上限 720px（`--content`）；
+左右两栏随屏宽在 `clamp()` 范围内变宽，超宽屏下中间列不会无限拉开。
+
+过程时间线：一段**连续**的思考和工具调用合成一个过程块，折叠时只有一行
+（"思考 4 次 · 工具 6 次"；运行中显示当前动作，比如"执行 run_shell…"），展开后是一条
+细竖线串起的时间线，每次思考、每个工具调用各占一行，思考只露第一行，点开看全文。
+出现可见的正文（或引擎提示、下一句提问）时过程块就此结束，后面的思考/工具另起一块——
+历史重建（`/api/session`）和实时事件流用的是同一条规则，所以刷新前后看到的一样。
+`/thinking on|off`（`show_thinking`）决定过程块和其中的思考默认展开还是收起，流式输出时也照此执行；
+`/details` 只管工具行是否展开。
+
+图片：提问附带的图片显示在气泡**上方**、靠右，一张保持原比例（最长 260px），多张是
+152px 的圆角方块；点开是大图预览（Esc 关闭，←/→ 切换）。从本页上传/粘贴/拖入的图片在
+输入框上方显示缩略图，发送后立刻出现在新提问上（本地预览，本轮结束后换成 `/api/attach/<rel>`）；
+从别的客户端加的待发图片仍然显示为文字条。
+
+### 命令与快捷键
+
+输入框以 `/` 开头时是命令，在页面里执行，不发给模型：打 `/` 弹出列表（↑↓ 选，Tab 补全，
+Enter 执行），`/model`、`/effort`、`/approval`、`/provider`、`/skill`、`/thinking`、`/details`
+还会补全参数。`/usr/bin 是什么` 这种第一个词里带 `/` 的照常发送；未知命令留在输入框里并提示，
+开头加个空格即可当普通消息发出。
+
+| 命令 | 作用 |
+|---|---|
+| `/new` `/sessions` `/rename [标题]` | 新建 / 会话列表 / 重命名 |
+| `/retry` `/edit` `/stop` `/undo` `/compact` | 重新生成 / 编辑重发 / 停止 / 撤销写入 / 压缩上下文 |
+| `/export` `/copy` `/diff [文件]` | 导出 Markdown / 复制最后一条回答 / 工作区 diff |
+| `/model [id]` `/effort [级别]` `/provider [名字]` `/key` | 模型、推理强度、提供商、API key |
+| `/approval [ask\|auto\|yolo]` `/plan` `/build` | 审批权限、计划/构建模式 |
+| `/settings`（`/protocol` `/tools` `/max-steps` `/permissions`） | 运行设置 |
+| `/init` `/skill 名字 [任务]` `/skills` `/extensions`（`/mcp` `/plugins` `/agents`） | 写 AGENTS.md、用 skill、扩展状态 |
+| `/thinking [on\|off]` `/details [on\|off]` | 思考过程默认展开（存 `settings.json`）、工具输出全部展开（存浏览器） |
+| `/theme` `/palette` `/help` | 主题、命令面板、帮助 |
+
+快捷键：Ctrl+P 命令面板，Ctrl+K 会话列表，Shift+Tab 循环审批（每次询问 → 自动 → 完全放行），
+F1 或 `?` 帮助，Esc 关闭弹窗 / 取消编辑 / 停止当前一轮，Ctrl+B / Ctrl+J 收起左栏 / 右栏。
+
+引擎的英文状态、错误和会话里的 `[cst]` 提示在页面上换成中文；一轮失败时（`turn_end.rc≠0`）
+显示可读的原因（比如"API key 无效或已过期（HTTP 401）"、"用满了 30 步上限"），不再是 `rc=-1`。
+
+TUI 里打 `/web` 会另起一个 WebUI 进程（`--web --workspace <当前目录> --new`），
+日志在 `<workspace>/.agent/webui.log`：TUI 不能被 `cst_webui_run()` 的阻塞循环占住，
+而且两个进程同时写一个会话文件会把它写坏，所以子进程总是开新会话。
+
+自动压缩的门槛是模型上下文窗口的 **75%**（`CST_CTX_BUDGET` 可覆盖）；到点后下一轮
+开始前先总结历史，而不是等到塞满。
+
+## 测试
+
+```bash
+make check                        # 含 tests/test_webui（HTTP/SSE/鉴权/消毒）
+sh scripts/e2e_webui.sh          # 用录制流跑完整轮次 + 权限往返，不需要 API key
+                                  # （含 e2e_webui_settings.py：假 /v1/models、换提供商/key、中文思考流；
+                                  #  e2e_webui_sessions.py：重新生成/编辑重发/导出/重命名/删除/历史字段；
+                                  #  e2e_webui_workspace.py：diff、运行设置、权限规则；
+                                  #  e2e_webui_ext.py：/init、/skill、扩展、信任、思考开关）
+sh scripts/e2e_webui.sh tests/fixtures/sse/deepseek-ctl-heredoc ctl-heredoc
+                                  # （deepseek-ctl 录的是一次契约错误连发的失败运行，不能拿来跑这个）
+```
+
+手工验收清单（浏览器）：
+
+1. 打开首页 → 顶部显示 workspace/模型/审批模式，右下状态"就绪"。
+2. 输入一句话 → 助手气泡逐字出现；工具卡片自动展开、结束后带 `exit=` 标记。
+3. 切到 `ask` 审批 → 写文件时弹窗；点"允许一次"后继续，点"拒绝"则该工具返回失败但对话继续。
+4. `会话` 按钮：新建/切换后历史正确重建（刷新页面也一样）：连续的思考和工具调用折叠成一行
+   过程块，展开是时间线，工具行点开能看到参数和输出；搜索、重命名、删除可用。
+   `/thinking off` 时流式输出的思考也保持收起。
+4a. 最后一句提问上有"编辑重发"，最后一个回答上有"重新生成"；右栏文件行点开是真实 diff。
+5. 拖入一张图片 → 输入框上方出现缩略图，发送后图片立刻出现在提问气泡上方，点开是大图预览。
+6. 关掉标签页再打开 → 事件流自动续传，不丢已完成的消息。
+
+## 限制与已知问题
+
+* 同一会话同时只能有一轮（`POST /api/turn` 返回 409）；TUI 与 WebUI 目前是
+  **二选一**（`--web` 时不启动 TUI），同进程并存留待后续的 hooks 分发层。
+* 一个会话文件只能由一个进程写：不要同时用 TUI 打开 WebUI 正在用的那个 workspace。
+* 没有 WebSocket；服务端→客户端用 SSE，客户端→服务端用 POST。够用且穿透代理更容易。
+* 事件环只有 2000 条：断线太久（超过这个窗口）的客户端会从当前可用的最老事件开始，
+  这时应当重新拉一次 `/api/session`。

 # Windows self-test checklist
 
-Run on a Windows machine (or wine) after MinGW build + busybox.exe beside the binary.
+Automated: `scripts/win_test.sh` cross-builds and runs every test on the
+English and Chinese Windows Server VMs as Administrator, a standard user and
+a Chinese user name (VM tooling in `scripts/winvm/`).
 
-1. `cst-agent.exe --help` exits 0
-2. `set CST_API_KEY=...` then `--headless --workspace . --prompt "run echo hello"` — tool output contains hello
-3. `write_file` under workspace succeeds; path outside workspace rejected
-4. Credentials saved under `%APPDATA%\cst-agent\credentials`
-5. With PDCurses build: launch without `--headless`, confirm TUI draws, `/help` works, Esc cancels
-
-Shell must resolve to bundled busybox unless `CST_SHELL` is set.
+Manual: the "Windows specifics" list in [compat.md](compat.md), plus the
+general CLI and TUI items there. Install and sandbox details are in
+[README-windows.md](README-windows.md).

+says so; /api/settings reports protocol, tools, confirmations and the
