 ## Hard rules
 
 - `hermes-agent/` is a **read-only research reference** (git-ignored). Never commit, push, or modify it — a pre-commit hook (`scripts/guard_hermes_agent.sh --staged`) fails any commit that stages it. Never modify hermes core; we only install our plugin into the live hermes home.
+- A second pre-commit hook (`scripts/check_version_sync.sh`) fails any commit where the `gateway-plugin/plugin.yaml` version ≠ the repo-root `VERSION` file — keep them in sync.
 - **Commit/push scope:** when asked to "commit and push all changes," that means **all** changes in the working tree — it does NOT matter whether a change was made this session or earlier. Stage everything (`git add .`) and commit; do not cherry-pick or second-guess which files are "yours." The only exception is `hermes-agent/` (git-ignored, never staged).
-- The plugin is installed by symlink: `~/.hermes/plugins/android` → `<repo>/gateway-plugin` (already set up on this machine).
+- The plugin is installed by symlink: `~/.hermes/plugins/iris` → `<repo>/gateway-plugin` (already set up on this machine).
 
 ## Layout
 
 - `gateway-plugin/` — Python hermes platform plugin (`android`). No build step, zero new deps (stdlib + hermes-provided `websockets`/`httpx`). `protocol.py` is the frame source of truth, mirrored in `app/shared/.../protocol/Protocol.kt` and `docs/protocol/frames.schema.json`.
 - `app/` — one Compose Multiplatform Gradle project: `:shared` (KMP, most of the code; `jvmMain` is shared by the android and desktop targets since both are JVM-based), `:androidApp` (thin shell, package `dev.iris.app`), `:desktopApp` (thin shell).
 - `docs/` — numbered reference library; read `docs/00-overview.md` first. Locked decisions: `docs/16-open-questions.md`.
+- `tests/` — committed Python test suite: `test_android.py` (plugin tests; a copy of the hermes-agent mirror described below), `test_android_http.py` (HTTP fallback transport, see `docs/19-http-fallback-transport.md`), `ws_probe.py`, `e2e.py`, `README.md`.
+- `scripts/` — pre-commit guards (`guard_hermes_agent.sh`, `check_version_sync.sh`) and `make_release_keystore.sh`.
+- `backdrops/` — backdrop/wallpaper images (Pexels) used by the app theme.
+- `CI-SETUP.md` — Gitea CI/release setup reference.
 
 ## Commands
 
 - `hermes` is **not on PATH**: use `hermes-agent/.venv/bin/hermes` (venv from `cd hermes-agent && uv sync`).
 - Gateway: `hermes gateway setup` (one-time; generates `IRIS_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env`, prints the token only once) → `hermes gateway` (run) → `hermes gateway status`.
-- Android: check the device is connected first (`adb devices` → `a5ca2a4b` listed as `device`); then `cd app && ./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug` to install on the phone and live-verify changes (launch/screenshot: see ADB below).
+- Android: check the device is connected first (`adb devices` → your device's serial listed as `device`; the serial differs per developer/machine); then `cd app && ./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug` to install on the phone and live-verify changes (launch/screenshot: see ADB below).
 - Desktop: `cd app && ./gradlew :desktopApp:run`; packaging: `:desktopApp:jpackage` (app-image; `-PjpackageType=deb` for a .deb).
 - Python tests — **never bare `pytest`**: `cd hermes-agent && scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_android.py` (no args = full suite).
 - Kotlin tests: `cd app && ./gradlew :shared:testAndroidHostTest` / `:shared:desktopTest` (host-side; `jvmTest` is the shared source set).

 ## Environment / pairing quirks
 
 - Pairing token: `IRIS_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env`. Pairing is manual URL + token entry; on **Android** there's also a QR-scan button (camera) that fills URL + token from the gateway's pairing QR. Desktop has no camera, so it's manual entry only.
-- WS default bind is `127.0.0.1`; for a phone on the LAN set `IRIS_WS_HOST` to the gateway's LAN IP.
+- HTTP default bind is `127.0.0.1`; for a phone on the LAN set `IRIS_HTTP_HOST` to the gateway's LAN IP.
 - `app/local.properties` (`sdk.dir`) is git-ignored and required for Android builds.
 - `google-services.json` is optional: without it FCM is inert and ntfy is the push path. Public ntfy.sh SSE is flaky — self-host ntfy.
 - **JDK 21** is required (the desktop Markdown renderer ships Java-21 bytecode); no system Gradle — always the wrapper (`./gradlew`). The JDK-21 home is machine-specific and set per machine (NOT committed): add `org.gradle.java.home=/path/to/jdk21` to `~/.gradle/gradle.properties`, or `export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk21` before running `./gradlew`.

HERMES_HOME is sandboxed per-test by the conftest. Tests must never touch the real `~/.hermes`.
 - e2e scenarios 3 (reasoning) and 5 (commentary) are model-dependent → SKIP; 11 (push) and 12 (reconnect) are PARTIAL by design.
 - ADB: launch `adb shell am start -n dev.iris.app/.MainActivity`; reset pairing state `adb shell pm clear dev.iris.app`; screenshot `adb exec-out screencap -p > /tmp/shot.png`.
 - ADB UI taps: **never guess tap coordinates from a screenshot** — dump the hierarchy and tap the element's real bounds: `adb shell uiautomator dump` → `adb pull /sdcard/window_dump.xml` → find the node by `text` / `content-desc` / `resource-id` → `adb shell input tap` at the center of its `bounds="[x1,y1][x2,y2]"`. Re-dump after every navigation; if a tap misses, the dump is stale — re-dump, don't nudge coordinates.

+Three commands on the machine where hermes runs:
+
+```bash
+cd hermes-agent && uv sync    # 1. hermes with its venv (separate project, not this repo)
+
+# 2. install the Iris plugin — the #gateway-plugin suffix points the
+#    installer at the plugin subfolder of this monorepo
+hermes plugins install git@gitea.zephyre.one:ARIA/iris_x_hermes.git#gateway-plugin
+
+# 3. generate the pairing token + server URL, then run the gateway
+hermes gateway setup
+hermes gateway
+```
+
+`hermes gateway setup` prints the **server URL** and **pairing token / QR**
+the app needs on its Connect screen.
+
+All options (LAN binding, TLS, push, device allowlist) and the full app
+pairing walkthrough: [`docs/install.md`](docs/install.md).

+    picking a device asks for confirmation, then returns to the menu so
+    several devices can be removed in a row.
+  - **CLI** — `gateway-plugin/tools/iris_devices.py`:
+    - `list` — paired devices (id, name, token minted?, last seen) + revoked ids.
+    - `revoke <device_id>` — drops the device's row (token, push tokens,

+# Install — Gateway & App
+
+A step-by-step guide for getting **Iris** (the Android / Desktop app) talking
+to your **hermes gateway**. Written for people who just want to *use* it, not
+build it. If you only want the short version, the [README](../README.md) has
+the three commands that matter.
+
+The whole setup has two halves:
+
+1. **The gateway** — a small plugin that runs *inside* your existing hermes
+   install and opens a door for the app to connect through.
+2. **The app** — on your phone or desktop, where you enter the gateway's
+   address and a pairing token.
+
+> **Old guides?** Earlier versions of Iris used a WebSocket on port `8790`
+> (`ws://…/ws`). The transport is now plain HTTP on port **`8791`**
+> (see [`19-http-fallback-transport.md`](19-http-fallback-transport.md)).
+> The app still accepts old `ws://` URLs and converts them automatically, but
+> new setups should use the `http://` URL printed by `hermes gateway setup`.
+
+---
+
+## What you need
+
+| Where | What |
+| --- | --- |
+| Gateway host (any always-on computer: home server, Raspberry Pi, laptop) | [hermes-agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) installed with its venv (`cd hermes-agent && uv sync`) |
+| Phone / desktop | Android 8+ or Linux / macOS / Windows |
+| Only if you build the app yourself | JDK 17 (+ Android SDK for Android) — see [`12-toolchain.md`](12-toolchain.md) |
+
+---
+
+## Part 1 — Install the gateway plugin (one-time)
+
+Iris is a regular hermes **platform plugin**, so it installs with the normal
+plugin command. This repo is a *monorepo* (the plugin lives in the
+`gateway-plugin/` subfolder, next to the app), so you point the installer at
+that subfolder with a `#subfolder` suffix:
+
+```bash
+hermes plugins install git@gitea.zephyre.one:ARIA/iris_x_hermes.git#gateway-plugin
+```
+
+That's it. The installer clones the repo, copies just the `gateway-plugin/`
+folder into `~/.hermes/plugins/`, and asks whether to enable it now (say
+**yes**).
+
+Notes:
+
+- Any git URL works with the `#gateway-plugin` suffix — e.g.
+  `https://gitea.zephyre.one/ARIA/iris_x_hermes.git#gateway-plugin` if you
+  prefer HTTPS.
+- **Developing from a checkout?** Skip the install and symlink instead — the
+  plugin then always tracks your working tree:
+
+  ```bash
+  mkdir -p ~/.hermes/plugins
+  ln -s "$PWD/gateway-plugin" ~/.hermes/plugins/iris
+  ```
+
+- Check it was picked up:
+
+  ```bash
+  hermes gateway status        # the Iris platform should be listed
+  ```
+
+## Part 2 — Gateway setup (one-time)
+
+Run the interactive setup:
+
+```bash
+hermes gateway setup
+```
+
+It walks you through five things:
+
+| Prompt | What it means | Default |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **Iris pairing token** | A long random secret the app must present to connect. Generated for you; stored in `~/.hermes/.env` as `IRIS_TOKEN`. **It is printed only once** — write it down. | auto-generated |
+| **HTTP host** | Which network address the gateway listens on. `127.0.0.1` = only this machine. For a phone on your home network, use the machine's **LAN IP** (e.g. `192.168.1.10`). | `127.0.0.1` |
+| **Port** | The port the app connects to. | `8791` |
+| **Push backend** | How offline notifications are delivered: `ntfy` (default, stays on your own infrastructure) or `fcm` (Google). See [Part 5](#part-5--push-notifications-optional). | `ntfy` |
+| **TLS** | Only asked when no certificate is configured yet: generates a **self-signed** certificate + key under `~/.hermes/iris/` and stores the paths in `.env` (`IRIS_HTTP_CERT` / `IRIS_HTTP_KEY`), so the gateway serves `https://`. The app asks you to confirm the printed SHA-256 fingerprint once (like an SSH host key). | No (Yes if you bound `0.0.0.0`) |
+
+When it finishes it prints two things you need for the app:
+
+- **Server URL** — e.g. `http://192.168.1.10:8791`
+- **Pairing QR + URL** — an `iris://pair?…` string with a scannable QR code
+
+Then start the gateway:
+
+```bash
+hermes gateway               # (or: hermes gateway restart after changes)
+```
+
+## Part 3 — Install the app
+
+### Android
+
+Build a debug APK on any machine with JDK 17 + the Android SDK:
+
+```bash
+cd app
+./gradlew :androidApp:assembleDebug
+# → app/androidApp/build/outputs/apk/debug/androidApp-debug.apk
+```
+
+Copy the APK to the phone (cable, LAN share, or any file transfer) and open
+it — Android will ask to allow installs from unknown sources.
+
+*Shortcut for developers with a USB-connected phone:*
+`./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug` installs it directly.
+
+### Desktop
+
+```bash
+cd app
+./gradlew :desktopApp:jpackage    # → app/desktopApp/build/…/ (native app, JRE bundled)
+```
+
+On Linux the launcher may print a `pure virtual method called` warning —
+it's a known, harmless jpackage bug (JDK-8348560); the app works fine.
+
+## Part 4 — Connect the app
+
+Open the app. The first screen is **Connect**. You need the **Server URL**
+and the **pairing token** from Part 2.
+
+### Option A — Same home network (no encryption, simplest)
+
+Works out of the box on a trusted home network:
+
+1. **Server URL:** the one printed by `hermes gateway setup`,
+   e.g. `http://192.168.1.10:8791`.
+   - On a phone, use the gateway's **LAN IP** — not `127.0.0.1` (that only
+     means "this device" and won't reach your server).
+   - If you set the host to `127.0.0.1` during setup, re-run
+     `hermes gateway setup` and enter the LAN IP instead.
+2. **Pairing token:** the long token from the setup output (or
+   `grep IRIS_TOKEN ~/.hermes/.env` on the gateway host).
+3. **Test & Connect.**
+
+> **Android shortcut:** the Connect screen has a **Scan QR** button — point
+> the camera at the QR printed by `hermes gateway setup` and the URL + token
+> fill themselves in. (Desktop has no camera, so it's manual entry.)
+
+### Option B — Encrypted (TLS) — recommended for anything beyond your LAN
+
+Plain `http://` is fine on a home network you trust, but for remote access
+you want the traffic encrypted. The gateway can serve `https://` itself:
+
+1. Create a certificate + key. Three flavors:
+   - **Generated by setup (easiest)**: `hermes gateway setup` offers to
+     generate a **self-signed** certificate for you (see the TLS prompt in
+     [Part 2](#part-2--gateway-setup-one-time)). It writes
+     `~/.hermes/iris/iris.crt` + `iris.key`, stores the paths in `.env`, and
+     prints the SHA-256 fingerprint the app will ask you to confirm.
+   - **CA-signed** (Let's Encrypt, or your own CA): works out of the box.
+   - **Self-signed manually** (e.g. `openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048
+     -nodes -keyout iris.key -out iris.crt -days 3650 -subj "/CN=iris"
+     -addext "subjectAltName=DNS:iris.example.com,IP:192.168.1.10"`):
+     the certificate **must** carry a SAN entry matching the host you'll
+     type in the app.
+2. Put the paths in `~/.hermes/.env` on the gateway host:
+
+   ```ini
+   IRIS_HTTP_CERT=/path/to/iris.crt
+   IRIS_HTTP_KEY=/path/to/iris.key
+   ```
+
+3. `hermes gateway restart`.
+4. In the app, use the **`https://`** URL, e.g. `https://iris.example.com:8791`.
+
+**Self-signed certificates:** the app won't trust them automatically (by
+design). On first connect it shows the certificate's SHA-256 fingerprint and
+asks you to confirm it — exactly like an SSH host key. Compare the
+fingerprint with the one on the gateway host
+(`openssl x509 -fingerprint -sha256 -noout -in iris.crt`), confirm, and it's
+pinned in the app's secure storage from then on. If the certificate ever
+changes, you'll be asked to confirm again. No system trust-store installs
+needed.
+
+### Reaching the gateway from outside your home network
+
+Pick one (in order of preference):
+
+- **Tailscale / WireGuard (recommended).** Install Tailscale on the gateway
+  host; the app connects to the stable tailnet IP, e.g.
+  `http://100.x.y.z:8791`. No public exposure at all — and since the traffic
+  travels inside the encrypted mesh, plain `http://` is acceptable here.
+- **Reverse proxy / tunnel** (Caddy, Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok). Terminate TLS
+  at the edge and forward to `127.0.0.1:8791` on the gateway host.
+- **Public bind + TLS + strong token** (`IRIS_HTTP_HOST=0.0.0.0` + Option B).
+  Last resort — the port is then reachable from the internet; the token and
+  TLS are what protect it.
+
+## Part 5 — Push notifications (optional)
+
+Push wakes a backgrounded or offline phone so you see replies even when the
+app is closed. Nothing is lost either way — on reconnect the app syncs its
+outbox.
+
+- **ntfy (default)** — the phone generates its own topic automatically; the
+  gateway publishes to it. ⚠️ **The default server is the public
+  `https://ntfy.sh` cloud service** — push metadata (topic, notification
+  title) passes through ntfy.sh's servers. Set `NTFY_SERVER_URL` to a
+  **self-hosted ntfy** to keep push metadata on your own infrastructure —
+  that is the private option (and also more reliable: the public `ntfy.sh`
+  SSE endpoint is flaky).
+- **FCM (opt-in, `IRIS_PUSH_BACKEND=fcm`)** — standard and reliable, but push
+  metadata (notification title, device token) is routed through **Google's
+  servers**. Needs a Firebase project + `google-services.json` in the app
+  build. Without it, FCM is inert and ntfy is the path.
+
+Details: [`08-push.md`](08-push.md).
+
+---
+
+## Gateway options (reference)
+
+Everything is configured in `~/.hermes/.env` on the gateway host (or via the
+prompts of `hermes gateway setup`). After changes: `hermes gateway restart`.
+
+| Variable | What it does | Default |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `IRIS_TOKEN` | Pairing token the app must present. | — (required) |
+| `IRIS_HTTP_HOST` | Bind address. `127.0.0.1` = local only; LAN IP = same network; `0.0.0.0` = all interfaces. | `127.0.0.1` |
+| `IRIS_HTTP_PORT` | Port the app connects to. | `8791` |
+| `IRIS_HOME_CHANNEL` | Default chat for cron/notification delivery. | `default` |
+| `IRIS_ALLOWED_USERS` | Comma-separated device ids allowed to connect (empty = token-only auth). | empty |
+| `IRIS_ALLOW_ALL_USERS` | Allow any paired device (**dev only**). | `false` |
+| `IRIS_PUSH_BACKEND` | `ntfy` or `fcm`. | `ntfy` |
+| `IRIS_FCM_SERVICE_ACCOUNT` | Path to Firebase service-account JSON (FCM). | — |
+| `IRIS_FCM_SERVER_KEY` | Legacy FCM server key (fallback). | — |
+| `NTFY_SERVER_URL` | ntfy server. Self-hosting recommended. | `https://ntfy.sh` |
+| `NTFY_AUTH_TOKEN` | Auth token for a private ntfy topic (real trust boundary). | — |
+| `IRIS_HTTP_CERT` / `IRIS_HTTP_KEY` | TLS cert/key paths → serves `https://` (see Part 4, Option B). | — |
+
+Security model (tokens, device allowlist, transport):
+[`09-pairing-security.md`](09-pairing-security.md).
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause / fix |
+| --- | --- |
+| `auth failed` on connect | Wrong token. Check `IRIS_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env` (setup prints it only when it generates it). |
+| Connection refused | Gateway not running (`hermes gateway status`); wrong URL (port `8791`, LAN IP instead of `127.0.0.1` from a phone); firewall blocking the port. |
+| Phone can't reach the gateway | Gateway bound to `127.0.0.1` — re-run `hermes gateway setup` and set the LAN IP; or the phone is on a different network/VLAN. |
+| TLS handshake fails | Cert has no SAN matching the URL host; or the pinned fingerprint is stale after a cert change (re-confirm in the app). |
+| Push not arriving | Backend not configured (check `~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log`); ntfy.sh flakiness — self-host ntfy. |
+| Start over on a phone | `adb shell pm clear dev.iris.app` wipes the app's pairing state. |
+
+Logs: `~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log` or `hermes logs --follow`.

+# Play Store Listing
+
+Copy-paste text for the Play Console (and the F-Droid / sideload pages).
+Keep this file in sync with the README whenever the privacy story changes.
+
+## Short description (≤ 80 chars)
+
+Private chat for your personal AI agent — Android & desktop.
+
+## Full description
+
+Iris is a native chat app for your personal AI agent (hermes-agent):
+streaming replies, visible reasoning, structured tool activity, channels,
+threads, media, search — Telegram-quality, on your own infrastructure.
+
+**Absolute Privacy!** — everything stays on your own infrastructure:
+
+- Your gateway, your machine, your data. No cloud middleman for chat.
+- **Push notifications:** ntfy by default. Note: out of the box it uses the
+  public ntfy.sh service; self-host ntfy (one env var) to keep push metadata
+  on your own server.
+- **FCM is opt-in** (`IRIS_PUSH_BACKEND=fcm`): standard and reliable, but FCM
+  push metadata (notification title, device token) is routed through
+  **Google's servers**. If you want truly private communication, use ntfy
+  (self-hosted) instead — it is the default.
+
+100 MB file uploads by default (configurable on your gateway). No
+4,096-character message limit like Telegram. Full markdown + HTML artifact
+preview. All settings live in the app.
+
+Runs on Android and desktop (Linux, macOS, Windows) from one shared codebase.
+
+## Privacy note (for the "Data safety" section / FAQ)
+
+Iris talks directly to your own hermes gateway over a private, token-authenticated
+connection. By default, push notifications use ntfy — out of the box via the
+public ntfy.sh service (push metadata such as the topic and notification title
+passes through ntfy.sh's servers); self-host ntfy (one env var) so that push
+metadata never leaves your infrastructure. If you explicitly enable FCM, push
+metadata (notification title, device token) is sent via Google's FCM servers;
+chat content itself is not sent to Google — FCM only carries a short preview,
+and full content is fetched from your gateway over the authenticated
+connection. For truly private communication, use the default ntfy backend
+with a self-hosted ntfy server.

-
+> - Push details: [`08-push.md`](08-push.md)
-## Prerequisites
+> - Security model: [`09-pairing-security.md`](09-pairing-security.md)
-
+> - Toolchain (first-time machine setup): [`12-toolchain.md`](12-toolchain.md)
-| Where | You need |
-| --- | --- |
-| Gateway host | hermes installed with its venv (`cd hermes-agent && uv sync`, see [`12-toolchain.md` §12.4](12-toolchain.md)) |
-| Android build machine | JDK 17, Android SDK with `ANDROID_HOME` set (or `app/local.properties`), ADB with a connected device |
-| Desktop build machine | JDK 17 only |
-
-Gradle needs no system install — both apps use the project wrapper
-(`./gradlew`). First-time machine setup: [`12-toolchain.md`](12-toolchain.md).
-
-## 1. Gateway setup (on the gateway host)
-
-Install the plugin into the live hermes home (dev: a symlink from the monorepo
-root):
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.hermes/plugins
-ln -s "$PWD/gateway-plugin" ~/.hermes/plugins/iris
-hermes gateway status        # should list "iris"
-```
-
-Run the interactive setup:
-
-```bash
-hermes gateway setup
-```
-
-What it does:
-
-- Generates `IRIS_TOKEN` (64 hex chars) if none exists and stores it in
-  `~/.hermes/.env` (it prints the token once, at generation).
-- Prompts for the WS bind host (default `127.0.0.1`), port (default `8790`),
-  and push backend (`fcm` or `ntfy`, default `fcm`).
-- Prints the pairing payload (a QR-encodable `iris://pair?host=…&port=…&token=…`
-  string), a scannable QR of that payload, and the server URL
-  (`ws://<host>:8790/ws`).
-
-Then start the gateway:
-
-```bash
-hermes gateway               # or: hermes gateway restart after config changes
-```
-
-> **Note:** the default bind host `127.0.0.1` only accepts connections from the
-> gateway host itself (e.g. a desktop app on the same machine). For a phone on
-> the LAN, re-run `hermes gateway setup` (or edit `~/.hermes/.env`) and set
-> `IRIS_WS_HOST` to the host's LAN IP (e.g. `192.168.1.10`).
-
-## 2. Android app
-
-Build and install (ADB device connected):
-
-```bash
-cd app
-./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug
-```
-
-First run opens the **Connect** screen:
-
-1. **Server URL** — `ws://<gateway-ip>:8790/ws` (the URL printed by
-   `hermes gateway setup`; use the LAN IP, not `127.0.0.1`, from a phone).
-2. **Pairing token** — from the `hermes gateway setup` output, or
-   `grep IRIS_TOKEN ~/.hermes/.env` on the gateway host.
-3. **Test & Connect** — performs a real `hello` (the auth leg), then saves the
-   pairing and connects.
-
-> **Scan QR (Android):** the Connect screen has a **Scan QR** button (CameraX +
-> ML Kit) that reads the QR printed by `hermes gateway setup` and pre-fills the
-> URL + token. Desktop has no camera, so it uses manual entry. An `iris://pair`
-> deep link (from any scanner) pre-fills the same way.
-
-## 3. Desktop app
-
-```bash
-cd app
-./gradlew :desktopApp:run        # dev run
-./gradlew :desktopApp:jpackage   # native app-image (bundles the JRE)
-```
-
-Pairing is the same Connect screen (URL + token); the token is stored in the OS
-keyring (with an encrypted-file fallback). Desktop push is tray icon + OS
-notifications (no FCM).
-
-> **Known issue:** on Linux with JDK 17 the jpackage launcher prints a
-> non-fatal `pure virtual method called` warning (JDK-8348560, a
-> jpackage/Linux launcher bug). The app runs and connects regardless.
-
-## 4. Push notifications
-
-Push wakes a backgrounded/offline device; on reconnect the app syncs the
-outbox, so nothing is lost. Push fires when the device is offline, plus for
-high-priority events (approvals, clarifies, cron) even when a device is live.
-
-### FCM (default; needs a Firebase project)
-
-1. Create a Firebase project (console.firebase.google.com) and add an Android
-   app with the app's applicationId; download `google-services.json` into
-   `app/androidApp/`.
-2. Create a service account (Project settings → Service accounts → Generate new
-   private key) and store the JSON path in `~/.hermes/.env`:
-   `IRIS_FCM_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=/path/to/service-account.json`.
-3. Keep `IRIS_PUSH_BACKEND=fcm` (the default).
-
-Without a Firebase project the FCM path is **inert** (the app's FCM service
-does nothing) — use ntfy below, or add Firebase later.
-
-**What you see:** system notifications for new messages when the app is
-backgrounded; tapping one deep-links to the chat.
-
-### ntfy (zero-config fallback)
-
-```
-IRIS_PUSH_BACKEND=ntfy
-```
-
-- The device **generates its own topic** automatically (no `NTFY_TOPIC` needed);
-  the server publishes to it.
-- `NTFY_SERVER_URL` defaults to `https://ntfy.sh`. **Self-hosted ntfy is
-  recommended** — the public ntfy.sh SSE endpoint is flaky (it has served its
-  web UI instead of the stream), while a self-hosted instance gives reliable
-  SSE. For a real trust boundary use a private topic + `NTFY_AUTH_TOKEN`.
-
-**What you see:** a low-priority foreground "ntfy listener" notification while
-the app is off; incoming pushes trigger a silent sync.
-
-## 5. Remote access
-
-- **Tailscale / WireGuard (recommended):** the gateway gets a stable tailnet IP;
-  the app connects to `ws://<tailnet-ip>:8790/ws`. No public exposure.
-- **Reverse proxy / tunnel** (Caddy, Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok): terminate TLS at
-  the edge, forward the WebSocket to `127.0.0.1:8790`.
-- **WSS:** set `IRIS_WS_CERT` / `IRIS_WS_KEY` (paths, in
-  `~/.hermes/.env`) and the server serves `wss://` instead of `ws://`.
-
-> **Honest limitation:** the app has **no certificate pinning** yet, so
-> self-signed certs won't work — remote access requires **CA-signed** WSS for
-> now. Plain `ws://` on a trusted LAN (or inside Tailscale) stays the default.
-
-## 6. Troubleshooting
-
-| Symptom | Likely cause / fix |
-| --- | --- |
-| `auth failed` / `error {code:"auth"}` on connect | Wrong token. Check `IRIS_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env` on the gateway host (setup prints it only when it generates it). |
-| Connection refused | Gateway not running (`hermes gateway status`); wrong URL (port `8790`, path `/ws`, LAN IP instead of `127.0.0.1` from a phone); firewall blocking the port. |
-| Push not arriving | Backend not configured (gateway log: `push backend … not configured`); app backgrounded with no working backend; ntfy.sh SSE flakiness — use a self-hosted ntfy. |
-| Desktop jpackage launcher warning | Non-fatal (JDK-8348560 on Linux JDK 17); the app runs and connects regardless. |
-
-Smoke test without the app (from the gateway host):
-
-```bash
-python - <<'PY'

+"""Outbound frame classification (M2): turn state + content heuristics.
+
+The main gateway delivers through the legacy callback path: the stream
+consumer calls ``send()`` (first bubble of a segment) and ``edit_message()``
+(updates), tool progress flows through ``send()``/``edit_message()`` of an
+accumulated line buffer, and interim commentary arrives as a plain
+``send()``. The adapter classifies each outbound call into a structured frame
+using a per-chat turn state machine + the content markers below:
+
+* ``metadata["expect_edits"] is True``  -> streaming segment start
+* ``metadata["notify"] is True``        -> final message (or fallback final)
+* tool-progress line format             -> tool.start / tool.end
+* anything else                         -> commentary
+
+Verified empirically against the live gateway with ``tests/ws_probe.py``.
