-name: btca-cli
-description: Operate the btca CLI for local resources and source-first answers. Use when setting up btca in a project, connecting a provider, adding or managing resources, and asking questions via btca commands. Invoke this skill when the user says "use btca" or needs to do more detailed research on a specific library or framework.
----
-
-# btca CLI
-
-`btca` is a source-first research CLI. It hydrates resources (git, local, npm) into searchable context, then answers questions grounded in those sources. Use configured resources for ongoing work, or one-off anonymous resources directly in `btca ask`.
-
-Full CLI reference: https://docs.btca.dev/guides/cli-reference
-
-Add resources:
-
-```bash
-# Git resource
-btca add -n svelte-dev https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte.dev
-
-# Local directory
-btca add -n my-docs -t local /absolute/path/to/docs
-
-# npm package
-btca add npm:@types/node@22.10.1 -n node-types -t npm
-```
-
-Verify resources:
-
-```bash
-btca resources
-```
-
-Ask a question:
-
-```bash
-btca ask -r svelte-dev -q "How do I define remote functions?"
-```
-
-## Common Tasks
-
-- Ask with multiple resources:
-
-```bash
-btca ask -r react -r typescript -q "How do I type useState?"
-```
-
-- Ask with anonymous one-off resources (not saved to config):
-
-```bash
-# One-off git repo
-btca ask -r https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte -q "Where is the implementation of writable stores?"
-
-# One-off npm package
-btca ask -r npm:react@19.0.0 -q "How is useTransition exported?"
-```
-
-## Config Overview
-
-- Config lives in `btca.config.jsonc` (project) and `~/.config/btca/btca.config.jsonc` (global).
-- Project config overrides global and controls provider/model and resources.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-- "No resources configured": add resources with `btca add ...` and re-run `btca resources`.
-- "Provider not connected": run `btca connect` and follow the prompts.
-- "Unknown resource": use `btca resources` for configured names, or pass a valid HTTPS git URL / `npm:<package>` as an anonymous one-off in `btca ask`.

 Extensions can spawn Kit as a subprocess for sub-agent patterns:
 ```bash

+kit --quiet --no-session --no-extensions --system-prompt /path/to/prompt.txt --model provider/model "question"
 ```
-Key flags: `--quiet` (stdout only, no TUI), `--no-session` (ephemeral), `--no-extensions` (prevent recursive loading), `--system-prompt` (string or file path).
+Positional args are the prompt. `@file` args attach file content. Key flags: `--quiet` (stdout only, no TUI), `--no-session` (ephemeral), `--no-extensions` (prevent recursive loading), `--system-prompt` (string or file path).

 # KIT (Knowledge Inference Tool)
 
-TBD
+A powerful, extensible AI coding agent CLI with multi-provider support, built-in tools, and a rich extension system.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multi-Provider LLM Support**: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Ollama, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, and more
+- **Built-in Core Tools**: bash, read, write, edit, grep, find, ls, spawn_subagent - no MCP overhead
+- **MCP Integration**: Connect external MCP servers for expanded capabilities
+- **Extension System**: Write custom tools, commands, widgets, and UI modifications in Go
+- **Theming**: 22 built-in color themes (KITT, Catppuccin, Dracula, Nord, etc.) with runtime switching, persistence, and custom theme files
+- **Model Persistence**: Model and thinking level selections are automatically saved and restored across sessions
+- **Prompt Templates**: Create reusable prompt templates with shell-style argument substitution
+- **Interactive TUI**: Rich terminal interface powered by Bubble Tea with streaming, syntax highlighting, and custom rendering
+- **Session Management**: Tree-based conversation history with branching support
+- **Non-Interactive Mode**: Script-friendly positional args with JSON output
+- **ACP Server**: Run Kit as an [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com) agent over stdio
+- **Go SDK**: Embed Kit in your own applications
+
+## Installation
+
+### Using npm / bun / pnpm
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @mark3labs/kit
+# or
+bun install -g @mark3labs/kit
+# or
+pnpm install -g @mark3labs/kit
+```
+
+### Using Go
+
+```bash
+go install github.com/mark3labs/kit/cmd/kit@latest
+```
+
+### Building from source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/mark3labs/kit.git
+cd kit
+go build -o kit ./cmd/kit
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start interactive session
+kit
+
+# Run a one-off prompt
+kit "List files in src/"
+
+# Attach files as context
+kit @main.go @test.go "Review these files"
+
+# Continue the most recent session
+kit --continue
+
+# Model and thinking level selections are automatically persisted
+# across sessions and restored on next launch
+
+# Use specific model
+kit --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest
+```
+
+### Non-Interactive Mode
+
+```bash
+# Get JSON output for scripting
+kit "Explain main.go" --json
+
+# Quiet mode (final response only)
+kit "Run tests" --quiet
+
+# Ephemeral mode (no session file)
+kit "Quick question" --no-session
+```
+
+### ACP Server Mode
+
+Kit can run as an [ACP (Agent Client Protocol)](https://agentclientprotocol.com) agent server, enabling ACP-compatible clients (such as [OpenCode](https://github.com/sst/opencode)) to drive Kit as a remote coding agent over stdio.
+
+```bash
+# Start Kit as an ACP server (communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 on stdin/stdout)
+kit acp
+
+# With debug logging to stderr
+kit acp --debug
+```
+
+The ACP server exposes Kit's full capabilities — LLM execution, tool calls (bash, read, write, edit, grep, etc.), and session persistence — over the standard ACP protocol. Sessions are persisted to Kit's normal JSONL session files, so they can be resumed later.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Kit looks for configuration in the following locations (in order of priority):
+
+1. CLI flags
+2. Environment variables (with `KIT_` prefix)
+3. `./.kit.yml` / `./.kit.yaml` / `./.kit.json` (project-local)
+4. `~/.kit.yml` / `~/.kit.yaml` / `~/.kit.json` (global)
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+Create `~/.kit.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest
+max-tokens: 4096
+temperature: 0.7
+stream: true
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export KIT_MODEL="openai/gpt-4o"
+```
+
+### MCP Server Configuration
+
+Add external MCP servers to `.kit.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+mcpServers:
+  filesystem:
+    type: local
+    command: ["npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/allowed"]
+    environment:
+      LOG_LEVEL: "info"
+    allowedTools: ["read_file", "write_file"]
+  
+  search:
+    type: remote
+    url: "https://mcp.example.com/search"
+```

+```
+
+## Themes
+
+Kit ships with 22 built-in color themes that control all UI elements. Switch at runtime:
+
+```
+/theme dracula
+/theme catppuccin
+/theme tokyonight
+```
+
+Theme selections are automatically saved and restored on next launch (stored in `~/.config/kit/preferences.yml`). This persistence also applies to **model** and **thinking level** selections — all are saved together and restored on startup.
+
+### Custom themes
+
+Drop a `.yml` file in `~/.config/kit/themes/` (user) or `.kit/themes/` (project):
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.config/kit/themes/my-theme.yml
+primary:
+  light: "#8839ef"
+  dark: "#cba6f7"
+success:
+  light: "#40a02b"
+  dark: "#a6e3a1"
+```
+
+Built-in themes: `kitt`, `catppuccin`, `dracula`, `tokyonight`, `nord`, `gruvbox`, `monokai`, `solarized`, `github`, `one-dark`, `rose-pine`, `ayu`, `material`, `everforest`, `kanagawa`, `amoled`, `synthwave`, `vesper`, `flexoki`, `matrix`, `vercel`, `zenburn`
+
+## Extension System
+
+Extensions are Go source files that run via Yaegi interpreter. They can add custom tools, slash commands, widgets, keyboard shortcuts, themes, and intercept lifecycle events.
+
+### Minimal Extension
+
+```go
+//go:build ignore
+
+package main
+
+import "kit/ext"
+
+func Init(api ext.API) {
+    api.OnSessionStart(func(_ ext.SessionStartEvent, ctx ext.Context) {
+        ctx.SetFooter(ext.HeaderFooterConfig{
+            Content: ext.WidgetContent{Text: "Custom Footer"},
+        })
+    })
+}
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+kit -e examples/extensions/minimal.go
+```
+
+### Extension Capabilities
+
+**Lifecycle Events**: OnSessionStart, OnSessionShutdown, OnBeforeAgentStart, OnAgentStart, OnAgentEnd, OnToolCall, OnToolExecutionStart, OnToolExecutionEnd, OnToolResult, OnInput, OnMessageStart, OnMessageUpdate, OnMessageEnd, OnModelChange, OnContextPrepare, OnBeforeFork, OnBeforeSessionSwitch, OnBeforeCompact
+
+**Custom Components**:
+- **Tools**: Add new tools the LLM can invoke
+- **Commands**: Register slash commands (e.g., `/mycommand`)
+- **Options**: Register configurable extension options
+- **Widgets**: Persistent status displays above/below input
+- **Headers/Footers**: Persistent content above/below the conversation

+### Loading Extensions
+
+**Auto-discovery** (loads automatically):
+- `~/.config/kit/extensions/*.go` (global single files)
+- `~/.config/kit/extensions/*/main.go` (global subdirectory extensions)
+- `.kit/extensions/*.go` (project-local single files)
+- `.kit/extensions/*/main.go` (project-local subdirectory extensions)
+- `~/.local/share/kit/git/` (global git-installed packages)
+- `.kit/git/` (project-local git-installed packages)
+
+**Explicit loading**:
+```bash
+kit -e path/to/extension.go
+kit -e ext1.go -e ext2.go  # Multiple extensions
+```
+
+**Disable auto-load**:
+```bash
+kit --no-extensions
+```
+
+### Testing Extensions
+
+Kit provides a testing package to help you write unit tests for your extensions:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "testing"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/extensions/test"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/internal/extensions"
+)
+
+func TestMyExtension(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Emit events and verify behavior
+    _, err := harness.Emit(extensions.SessionStartEvent{SessionID: "test"})
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("unexpected error: %v", err)
+    }
+    
+    // Verify the extension printed something
+    test.AssertPrinted(t, harness, "session started")
+}
+```
+
+**Available assertions:**
+- `AssertBlocked()`, `AssertNotBlocked()` — Verify tool blocking
+- `AssertWidgetSet()`, `AssertWidgetText()` — Verify widget content
+- `AssertPrinted()`, `AssertPrintedContains()` — Verify output
+- `AssertToolRegistered()`, `AssertCommandRegistered()` — Verify registration
+
+See `examples/extensions/tool-logger_test.go` for a complete example with 14 test cases covering tool calls, input handling, and session lifecycle.
+
+### Prompt Templates
+
+Create reusable prompt templates with shell-style argument substitution. Templates are loaded from `~/.kit/prompts/*.md` and `.kit/prompts/*.md`.
+
+**Example template** (`~/.kit/prompts/review.md`):
+```markdown
+---
+description: Review code for issues
+---
+Review the following code for bugs and security issues.
+Focus on $1 specifically.
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```
+/review error handling
+```
+
+**Argument placeholders:**
+- `$1`, `$2`, etc. — Individual arguments
+- `$@` or `$ARGUMENTS` — All arguments
+- `${@:2}` — Arguments from position 2 onwards
+- `${@:1:3}` — 3 arguments starting at position 1
+
+Disable templates with `--no-prompt-templates` or load a specific template with `--prompt-template <name>`.
+
+## Session Management
+
+Kit uses a tree-based session model that supports branching and forking conversations.
+
+### Session Locations
+
+- Default: `~/.kit/sessions/<cwd-path>/<timestamp>_<id>.jsonl`
+- Path separators in the working directory are replaced with `--` (e.g., `/home/user/project` becomes `home--user--project`)
+- Each line is a session entry (messages, tool calls, extension data)
+- Supports branching from any message to explore alternate paths
+
+### Session Commands
+
+```bash
+# Resume most recent session for current directory
+kit --continue
+kit -c
+
+# Interactive session picker
+kit --resume
+kit -r
+
+# Open specific session file
+kit --session path/to/session.jsonl
+kit -s path/to/session.jsonl
+
+# Ephemeral mode (no file persistence)
+kit --no-session
+```
+
+### Interactive Session Commands
+
+During an interactive session, use these slash commands:
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/name [name]` | Set or display the session's display name |
+| `/session` | Show session info (path, ID, message count) |
+| `/resume` | Open the session picker to switch sessions |
+| `/export [path]` | Export session as JSONL (auto-generates path if omitted) |
+| `/import <path>` | Import and switch to a session from a JSONL file |
+| `/share` | Upload session to GitHub Gist and get a shareable viewer URL |
+| `/tree` | Navigate the session tree |
+| `/fork` | Branch from an earlier message |
+| `/new` | Start a fresh session |
+
+## Go SDK
+
+Embed Kit in your Go applications:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "log"
+    
+    kit "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/kit"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    ctx := context.Background()
+    
+    // Create Kit instance with default configuration
+    host, err := kit.New(ctx, nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    defer host.Close()
+    
+    // Send a prompt
+    response, err := host.Prompt(ctx, "What is 2+2?")
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    
+    println(response)
+}
+```
+
+### With Options
+
+```go
+host, err := kit.New(ctx, &kit.Options{
+    Model:        "ollama/llama3",
+    SystemPrompt: "You are a helpful bot",
+    ConfigFile:   "/path/to/config.yml",
+    MaxSteps:     10,
+    Streaming:    true,
+    Quiet:        true,
+
+    // Session options
+    SessionPath:  "./session.jsonl",  // Open specific session
+    Continue:     true,                // Resume most recent session
+    NoSession:    true,                // Ephemeral mode
+
+    // Tool options
+    ExtraTools:   []kit.Tool{...},     // Additional tools alongside defaults
+
+    // Compaction
+    AutoCompact:  true,                // Auto-compact near context limit
+
+    Debug:        true,                // Debug logging
+})
+```
+
+### With Callbacks
+
+```go
+response, err := host.PromptWithCallbacks(
+    ctx,
+    "List files in current directory",
+    func(name, args string) {
+        // Tool call started
+        println("Calling tool:", name)
+    },
+    func(name, args, result string, isError bool) {
+        // Tool call completed
+        if isError {
+            println("Tool failed:", name)
+        }
+    },
+    func(chunk string) {
+        // Streaming text chunk
+        print(chunk)
+    },
+)
+```
+
+### Session Management
+
+```go
+// Multi-turn conversations retain context automatically
+host.Prompt(ctx, "My name is Alice")
+response, _ := host.Prompt(ctx, "What's my name?")
+
+// Sessions are persisted automatically to JSONL files.
+// Access session info:
+path := host.GetSessionPath()
+id := host.GetSessionID()
+
+// Clear conversation history
+host.ClearSession()
+```
+
+Session persistence is configured via `Options`:
+
+```go
+host, _ := kit.New(ctx, &kit.Options{
+    SessionPath: "./my-session.jsonl",  // Open specific session
+    Continue:    true,                   // Resume most recent session
+    NoSession:   true,                   // Ephemeral mode
+})
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Subagent Pattern
+
+Spawn Kit as a subprocess for multi-agent orchestration:
+
+```bash
+kit "Analyze codebase" \
+    --json \
+    --no-session \
+    --no-extensions \
+    --quiet \
+    --model anthropic/claude-haiku-3-5-20241022
+```
+
+Parse the JSON output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "response": "Final assistant response text",
+  "model": "anthropic/claude-haiku-3-5-20241022",
+  "stop_reason": "end_turn",
+  "session_id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
+  "usage": {
+    "input_tokens": 1024,
+    "output_tokens": 512,
+    "total_tokens": 1536,
+    "cache_read_tokens": 0,
+    "cache_creation_tokens": 0
+  },
+  "messages": [
+    {
+      "role": "assistant",
+      "parts": [
+        {"type": "text", "data": "..."},
+        {"type": "tool_call", "data": {"name": "...", "args": "..."}},
+        {"type": "tool_result", "data": {"name": "...", "result": "..."}}
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Testing with tmux
+
+Test the TUI non-interactively:
+
+```bash
+# Start Kit in detached tmux session
+tmux new-session -d -s kittest -x 120 -y 40 \
+  "kit -e ext.go --no-session 2>kit.log"
+
+# Wait for startup
+sleep 3
+
+# Capture screen
+tmux capture-pane -t kittest -p
+
+# Send input
+tmux send-keys -t kittest '/command' Enter
+
+# Cleanup
+tmux kill-session -t kittest
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Build and Test
+
+```bash
+# Build
+go build -o output/kit ./cmd/kit
+
+# Run tests
+go test -race ./...
+
+# Run specific test
+go test -race ./cmd -run TestScriptExecution

+
+The install command downloads and installs Kit extensions from git repositories.
+Extensions are stored in the global extensions directory by default, or in the
+project's .kit/git/ directory when using the --local flag.
+
+When a repo contains multiple extensions, an interactive multi-select is shown
+so you can choose which to install. Use --all to skip selection and install everything.
+
+Supported URL formats:
+  - github.com/user/repo (shorthand, defaults to HTTPS)
+  - git:github.com/user/repo
+  - https://github.com/user/repo
+  - ssh://git@github.com/user/repo
+  - git@github.com:user/repo

+## Extension Details
+
+### minimal.go
+The bare minimum extension showing the required structure:
+- Package `main`
+- Import `kit/ext`
+- Export `Init(api ext.API)` function
+
+### plan-mode.go
+A complete example demonstrating:
+- Slash command (`/plan`)
+- Keyboard shortcut (`ctrl+alt+p`)
+- Option registration
+- Status bar indicators
+- System prompt injection
+- Tool filtering
+
+### widget-status.go
+Shows how to create persistent UI elements:
+- Create widgets with `SetWidget`
+- Update content dynamically
+- Remove when done
+- Handle session lifecycle
+
+### context-inject.go
+Advanced context manipulation:
+- Read project files
+- Inject into LLM context
+- Filter messages
+- Use negative indices for ephemeral content
+
+### lsp-diagnostics.go
+Complex real-world example:
+- Multi-file extension
+- External process management (LSP server)
+- File watching
+- Diagnostics aggregation
+
+### kit-telegram/
+Full-featured Telegram integration:
+- Slash command with subcommands and tab completion
+- Interactive guided setup flow with prompts
+- Background long-polling goroutine
+- Progress message rendering edited in place
+- Message queue with edit-before-dispatch
+- Remote command handling from Telegram
+- Status bar and widget updates
+- Config persistence with atomic writes
+
+## Multi-File Extension Example
+
+The `kit-kit-agents/` directory demonstrates the multi-file pattern:
+
+```
+kit-kit-agents/
+├── main.go          # Entry point with Init()
+├── agent.go         # Agent configuration
+├── manager.go       # Agent lifecycle management
+└── README.md        # Documentation
+```
+
+When the repo is installed, all files in subdirectories with `main.go` are loaded as separate extensions.
+
+## Testing & Validation
+
+After installing, test the extensions:
+
+```bash
+# List all loaded extensions
+kit extensions list
+
+# Validate all extensions
+kit extensions validate
+
+# Run with a specific extension
+kit -e ~/.local/share/kit/git/github.com/mark3labs/kit/examples/extensions/plan-mode.go
+```
+
+## Creating Your Own
+
+1. Copy `minimal.go` as a starting point
+2. Modify the `Init()` function to register your handlers
+3. Use the other examples for reference on specific APIs
+4. Test with `kit -e your-extension.go`
+5. Share by pushing to a git repository!
+
+## Update
+
+To get the latest examples:
+
+```bash
+kit install github.com/mark3labs/kit/examples/extensions --update
+```
+

+# kit-telegram
+
+A Kit extension that relays all Kit agent runs to Telegram and lets approved Telegram users reply back into Kit.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Relays **all Kit runs** to one Telegram chat while connected
+- Edits one Telegram progress message in place during a run
+- Lets approved Telegram users send normal text replies back into Kit
+- Shows `Telegram Connected` or `Telegram Disconnected` in the status bar
+- Shows a small spinner animation as `⠋ Telegram Connecting` only while the relay is still connecting
+- On startup with an already validated enabled config, sends a short Telegram connection message to confirm the relay is up
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `kit` installed and working
+- A Telegram bot token from `@BotFather`
+- Either:
+  - A Telegram chat where you can message the bot, or
+  - A numeric Telegram chat id you want to enter manually
+- For group chats, one or more allowed Telegram user ids
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### 1. Install the extension
+
+```bash
+kit install github.com/mark3labs/kit/examples/extensions/kit-telegram
+```
+
+Or run directly:
+```bash
+kit -e path/to/kit-telegram/main.go
+```
+
+### 2. Start Kit and connect Telegram
+
+```bash
+kit
+```
+
+Inside Kit, run:
+
+```
+/telegram connect
+```
+
+You will be prompted for:
+
+- Bot token from `@BotFather`
+- Whether to auto-detect the chat by messaging the bot or enter the chat id manually
+- Allowed user ids when needed
+
+### 3. Verify the relay
+
+```
+/telegram test
+```
+
+Reply in Telegram with the code from the test message.
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/telegram` | Human-friendly overview and subcommand list |
+| `/telegram status` | Raw deterministic relay state |
+| `/telegram test` | Verify outbound and inbound relay |
+| `/telegram toggle` | Enable or disable relay without deleting credentials |
+| `/telegram logout` | Remove saved credentials and disconnect relay |
+| `/telegram connect` | Run the setup flow again |
+| `/telegram clear` | Clear Telegram status and working messages from the TUI |
+
+## Remote commands (from Telegram)
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/telegram` | Sends the overview back to Telegram |
+| `/telegram status` | Sends the deterministic state report to Telegram |
+| `/telegram test` | Sends a reply-code test message from Telegram |
+| `/telegram toggle` | Flips the enabled flag |
+| `/telegram logout yes` | Logs out (requires `yes` confirmation) |
+| `/telegram clear` | Clears the TUI footer and working messages |
+
+## Key APIs Used
+
+- `RegisterCommand` — Slash command with subcommands and tab completion
+- `OnSessionStart` / `OnSessionShutdown` — Lifecycle management
+- `OnAgentStart` / `OnAgentEnd` — Run tracking and progress rendering
+- `OnToolCall` / `OnToolResult` — Action tracking
+- `OnMessageEnd` — Capture assistant responses
+- `OnInput` — Mirror local messages to Telegram
+- `SetStatus` / `RemoveStatus` — Status bar indicators
+- `SetWidget` / `RemoveWidget` — Working message display
+- `PromptInput` / `PromptSelect` / `PromptConfirm` — Interactive setup flow
+- `SendMessage` — Inject Telegram replies as Kit prompts
+
+## Architecture
+
+Single Go file interpreted by Yaegi at runtime. Core components:
+
+- **Telegram Bot API client** — HTTP calls via `net/http` for getMe, getChat, getChatMember, getUpdates (long-polling), sendMessage, editMessageText
+- **Config persistence** — JSON file at `.kit/kit-telegram.json` with atomic writes
+- **Long-polling goroutine** — Background polling for Telegram updates with warmup poll, retry, and client-side timeouts
+- **Message queue** — In-memory FIFO queue for Telegram prompt input with edit-before-dispatch support
+- **Progress rendering** — `⏳ elapsed · step N` with action lines, edited in place
+- **Final rendering** — `✅/❌ elapsed` with response text, split into chunks for long output
+
+## Debug mode
+
+Set environment variable `KIT_TELEGRAM_DEBUG=1` to enable verbose debug logging.
