+New `chatcopsAiSdkHandler(config)`: a Fetch API handler that the AI SDK's `useChat` can talk to. It reads `useChat` requests and answers in the AI SDK's UI message stream, so an app built on the AI SDK can use a ChatCops server without changing its chat UI. The server keeps the history and reads only the last user message, so a client can't add turns the model never wrote. Server tools show up as tool parts the client doesn't run, a captured lead as a `data-lead-captured` part, and each assistant message has `metadata.conversationId`. A contract test runs the real `ai` 7 client against it.
+
+`@chatcops/core` exports the mapping on its own: `aiSdkEncoder()` and `fromAiSdkRequest()`. `protocolStats()` on the handler now also counts `'ai-sdk'` requests.

+New `allowedOrigins` option: the sites whose pages can use the chat, as exact origins or subdomain wildcards (`'https://*.acme.com'`). A browser request from any other page gets 403 `origin_not_allowed` before the model is called, with CORS headers so the page can read why. Responses echo the matched origin with `Vary: Origin`. Requests without an `Origin` header still pass. The default is still any origin (`['*']`).

One change for `cors` users: a request without an `Origin` header no longer gets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` back, which only browsers read, and browsers always send `Origin` on cross-origin requests.

+The server speaks protocol v1. A request with `"protocol": 1` in the body (what the 0.6 widget sends) or an `x-chatcops-protocol: 1` header gets typed parts (`start`, `text-delta`, `finish` and so on) and a response header `x-chatcops-protocol: 1`. Requests without it get exactly the 0.5 stream, and the server logs one line the first time it answers one.
+
+In protocol v1, a request that can't be answered gets a real HTTP status with a JSON body and CORS headers: 400 `invalid_request`, 409 `conversation_busy`, 413 `payload_too_large` (bodies over 256 KB), 429 `rate_limited` with `Retry-After`, 503 `provider_unavailable`. Errors after the stream starts are an `error` part, then `finish`.
+
+All three adapters now share one module for this, so they send the same headers (`Content-Type: text/event-stream; charset=utf-8`, `Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transform`, `X-Accel-Buffering: no`, and no `Connection`, which HTTP/2 doesn't allow) and one `[DONE]`. When nothing has been sent for 10 seconds, as during a slow tool, they send a `: ping` comment so proxies and the widget don't close the connection. The CORS preflight allows the `Authorization` and `X-ChatCops-Protocol` headers.
+
+New: `exposeUsage: true` adds token usage to the v1 `finish` part. `createChatHandler()` has `startChat()`, which resolves a refusal or the reply's v1 parts, for custom adapters, and `protocolStats()`, which counts requests in each format. `@chatcops/core/protocol` exports the protocol types and helpers on their own, for clients that don't need the rest of core.

+Regenerate can name the reply to replace: `regenerate: { assistantMessageId }`. `true` still works. Retrying a message whose reply was already saved sends that reply again instead of asking the model for a second one, and a partial reply is replaced once a new one succeeds. A reply the visitor walked away from is now saved, marked `aborted`, and left out of what the model sees next.

+Add `runTurn()`, the loop that runs one reply: model steps, the tools the model asks for, and saving the reply as it grows. It yields protocol v1 parts and returns the reply as a `ChatMessage` with parts, status and token usage. It works with providers written for 0.4 that only have `chat()`, too.
+
+`chat()` and `chatSync()` on the Claude, OpenAI and Gemini providers now run on `runTurn()`. They behave as before, with three differences: `chatSync()` streams under the hood, a tool timeout now aborts the tool's signal, and an OpenAI-compatible server that ends a tool step with `stop` gets its tools run.
+
+Also new: `toolRegistry()`, an optional `emits()` on tools (`LeadCaptureTool` uses it to add a `lead-captured` part), and `scriptedProvider()` at `@chatcops/core/testing/provider` for testing without a model.

+## Writing a store package
+
+Stores live in their own packages (`packages/store-<name>`), so a Cloudflare user never installs a Postgres driver. Each one implements the interfaces in `packages/core/src/storage/types.ts`: `conversations` is required, and `counters`, `kv` and `events` are what make rate limits and analytics work across server instances. `memoryStorage()` in `packages/core/src/storage/memory.ts` is the reference.
+
+A new package needs:
+
+- `package.json` with `"private": true` until a maintainer publishes it for the first time, `"type": "module"`, an `exports` entry like `@chatcops/core`'s, `"@chatcops/core": "workspace:^"` in `peerDependencies` (and `"workspace:*"` in `devDependencies`), the database client as a peer dependency where there is one, and the `build`, `typecheck` and `test` scripts.
+- `tsconfig.json` extending `../../tsconfig.json`, like the other packages.
+- `tests/conformance.test.ts` running the shared suite, which is the contract every store has to meet:
+
+  ```ts
+  import { describe } from 'vitest';
+  import { runStorageConformance } from '@chatcops/core/testing';
+  import { redisStorage } from '../src/index.js';
+
+  const url = process.env.CHATCOPS_TEST_REDIS_URL;
+  if (url) runStorageConformance('redis', () => redisStorage({ url }));
+  else describe.skip('redis conformance (set CHATCOPS_TEST_REDIS_URL to run)', () => {});
+  ```
+
+CI runs Redis, the Upstash REST emulator and Postgres next to the tests and sets `CHATCOPS_TEST_REDIS_URL`, `CHATCOPS_TEST_UPSTASH_URL` with `CHATCOPS_TEST_UPSTASH_TOKEN`, and `CHATCOPS_TEST_POSTGRES_URL` (see `.github/workflows/ci.yml`). Locally, start the same containers with Docker and export the variables, or let those tests skip. The root `vitest.config.ts` and `pnpm publint` pick up a new package by themselves, and store packages need 90% line and 80% branch coverage, checked in CI (locally the database tests skip, so the store floor only applies there).

+# Recorded provider responses
+
+Real response bodies from each provider's API, replayed in tests through a stubbed `fetch` (`tests/helpers/replay-fetch.ts`), so the SDK's own stream parser runs as it does live.
+
+Each case is a folder of `NN.request.json` (what the provider sent) and `NN.response.sse` (what came back), one pair per request. A folder with a `SYNTHETIC` file was edited by hand; the file says how.
+
+To record them again (it costs a few cents):
+
+```bash
+pnpm --filter @chatcops/core build
+cd packages/core && node --env-file=../../.env scripts/record-fixtures.mjs claude
+```
+
+Only bodies are stored, never headers, and the script refuses to write a body that contains an API key. CI also checks these files for key patterns.

+# @chatcops/store-cloudflare
+
+Cloudflare storage for [ChatCops](https://chat.codercops.com): conversations, exact atomic counters, turn locks, and analytics events backed by Cloudflare D1 and Durable Objects.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Conversations & Messages:** Durable history in Cloudflare D1 SQLite with concurrency-safe `append` without interactive transactions.
+- **Exact Counters:** Globally coordinated rate limits and token budgets through Durable Objects (`ChatCopsCounter`), with automatic fallback to D1 `UPSERT ... RETURNING`.
+- **Turn locks:** In D1, with an atomic `setIfAbsent`, so one reply per conversation holds across every isolate. Workers KV isn't used: it has no atomic `setIfAbsent`, and its TTLs start at 60 seconds.
+- **Analytics Events:** Time-bucketed event queries in D1 for dashboards and reporting.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/store-cloudflare
+```
+
+## Wrangler Configuration
+
+Configure your D1 database, Durable Object class binding, and migration in `wrangler.jsonc`:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "$schema": "node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json",
+  "name": "my-chatcops-worker",
+  "main": "src/index.ts",
+  "compatibility_date": "2026-10-01",
+  "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat"],
+  "d1_databases": [
+    {
+      "binding": "DB",
+      "database_name": "chatcops",
+      "database_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
+    }
+  ],
+  "durable_objects": {
+    "bindings": [
+      {
+        "name": "COUNTERS",
+        "class_name": "ChatCopsCounter"
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "migrations": [
+    {
+      "tag": "v1",
+      "new_sqlite_classes": ["ChatCopsCounter"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Export `ChatCopsCounter` from your Worker's entrypoint so Cloudflare can route Durable Object requests to it:
+
+```ts
+import { cloudflareStorage, ChatCopsCounter } from '@chatcops/store-cloudflare';
+import { chatcopsCloudflareHandler } from '@chatcops/server/cloudflare';
+
+// Re-export the Durable Object class for Cloudflare Workers
+export { ChatCopsCounter };
+
+interface Env {
+  DB: D1Database;
+  COUNTERS?: DurableObjectNamespace<ChatCopsCounter>;
+  ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: string;
+}
+
+let handler: ReturnType<typeof chatcopsCloudflareHandler> | undefined;
+
+export default {
+  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise<Response> {
+    handler ??= chatcopsCloudflareHandler({
+      provider: { type: 'claude', apiKey: env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
+      systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+      storage: cloudflareStorage({
+        d1: env.DB,
+        counters: env.COUNTERS,
+      }),
+    });
+
+    return handler(request, env, ctx);
+  },
+};
+```
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Type | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `d1` | `D1Database` | **Yes** | Cloudflare D1 database binding used for conversations, messages, events, turn locks, and fallback storage. |
+| `counters` | `DurableObjectNamespace<ChatCopsCounter>` | No | Durable Objects namespace for exact distributed counter coordination. When omitted, D1 atomic upserts are used. |
+| `extraColumns` | `string[]` or `Record<string, string>` | No | Columns you've added yourself, filled in by `rowHook`. See below. |
+| `rowHook` | `(context) => Record<string, unknown>` | No | Values for `extraColumns` on each new row. |
+| `now` | `() => number` | No | Clock function for testing (defaults to `Date.now`). |
+
+## Extra columns
+
+To stamp columns of your own (a tenant or site id) on every new row, add them with your own `ALTER TABLE` and pass `extraColumns` with a `rowHook`:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE chatcops_conversations ADD COLUMN workspace_id TEXT;
+ALTER TABLE chatcops_messages ADD COLUMN workspace_id TEXT;
+```
+
+```ts
+cloudflareStorage({
+  d1: env.DB,
+  extraColumns: ['workspace_id'],
+  rowHook: ({ metadata }) => ({ workspace_id: metadata?.workspaceId }),
+});
+```
+
+The hook runs when a row is created, never on updates. It gets the table, the conversation id, the metadata passed with the write, and the message for message rows. Returning a key that isn't in `extraColumns` throws, and nothing from that write is stored. Values are bound as parameters, never put into the SQL, and must be strings, numbers, booleans (stored as 1 or 0, so use an `INTEGER` column) or null. The `{ workspace_id: 'uuid' }` form from `@chatcops/store-postgres` works too; D1 ignores the type.
+
+## Concurrency & Durability
+
+Cloudflare D1 does not provide interactive transactions. To ensure data integrity under concurrent traffic:
+
+- `append` executes inside a single `db.batch()` statement list.
+- An expected-version check conditional update runs first, bumping the version and setting `updated_at`.
+- All subsequent message inserts are conditioned on the conversation having that new version and timestamp.
+- If concurrent requests race with the same expected version, only one succeeds and the others throw `ConflictError` without creating partial records.
+- When no expected version is passed, `append` automatically retries against the latest version.
+
+## Retention & Cleanup
+
+To prune old conversations and expired metadata on a schedule (e.g., via a Cron Trigger):
+
+```ts
+// Delete conversations older than 30 days
+const cutoff = Date.now() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
+const purgedCount = await storage.conversations.purge?.(cutoff);
+```

+# @chatcops/store-postgres
+
+Postgres storage for [ChatCops](https://chat.codercops.com): conversations, rate limit counters, turn locks and analytics events, so they survive restarts and are shared by every server instance.
+
+It works with any driver. Every write is a single SQL statement, so nothing needs a transaction or a dedicated connection, and serverless drivers such as Neon's work as well as `pg`.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/store-postgres pg
+```
+
+`pg` is only needed for the `migrate` command and if you use it as your driver.
+
+## Create the tables
+
+Once per database, and again after upgrading this package:
+
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://... npx chatcops-postgres migrate
+```
+
+Or from code, for example at startup:
+
+```ts
+import { migrate } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+await migrate(pool);
+```
+
+Migrations already applied are skipped, so running it on every deploy is fine.
+
+## Use it
+
+```ts
+import pg from 'pg';
+import { postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const pool = new pg.Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL });
+const storage = postgresStorage({ db: pool });
+```
+
+With Neon on Vercel or Cloudflare:
+
+```ts
+import { neon } from '@neondatabase/serverless';
+import { fromNeon, postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const storage = postgresStorage({ db: fromNeon(neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL!)) });
+```
+
+With postgres.js, wrap the client the same way: `fromPostgresJs(postgres(url))`.
+
+Pass the complete storage object to the server:
+
+```ts
+chatcopsMiddleware({
+  provider: { type: 'claude', apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  storage,
+});
+```
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Default | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `db` | required | A `pg` `Pool`, or a client wrapped with `fromNeon` or `fromPostgresJs`. Anything with `query(text, params)` that returns `{ rows }` works. |
+| `tablePrefix` | `'chatcops_'` | Table name prefix, so several apps can share a database. Use the same one with `migrate`. |
+
+## Your own columns
+
+To stamp your own columns on every new conversation and message row (a tenant id, a site id), add them with your own migration, declare them, and say how to fill them:
+
+```ts
+// ALTER TABLE chatcops_conversations ADD COLUMN workspace_id uuid;
+// ALTER TABLE chatcops_messages ADD COLUMN workspace_id uuid;
+const storage = postgresStorage({
+  db: pool,
+  extraColumns: { workspace_id: 'uuid' },
+  rowHook: ({ table, metadata }) => ({ workspace_id: metadata?.workspaceId }),
+});
+```
+
+The hook runs when a row is created, never on updates. It gets the table, the conversation id, the metadata passed with the write, and the message for message rows. Returning a key that isn't in `extraColumns` throws, and values are sent as query parameters, never put into the SQL. Reads aren't filtered by these columns; that's up to your own queries or row-level security.
+
+## Tables
+
+| Table | Holds |
+|---|---|
+| `chatcops_conversations` | One row per conversation: metadata, version, timestamps |
+| `chatcops_messages` | One row per message, with parts, status and usage as `jsonb` |
+| `chatcops_counters` | Rate limit and budget counters with their expiry |
+| `chatcops_kv` | Short-lived keys, such as the lock that keeps two replies to one conversation from overlapping |
+| `chatcops_events` | Analytics events |
+
+Writing to a conversation is one `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT` that locks its row, so two server instances answering at once never lose a message, and a stale `expectedVersion` fails with a `ConflictError`.
+
+## Retention
+
+Nothing is deleted on its own. Call `purge(before)` on a schedule to delete conversations last updated before a time, with their messages. It also clears expired counters and keys:
+
+```ts
+const thirtyDaysAgo = Date.now() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
+await storage.conversations.purge?.(thirtyDaysAgo);
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The package runs the shared ChatCops storage conformance suite against a real Postgres when `CHATCOPS_TEST_POSTGRES_URL` is set:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres postgres:17-alpine
+CHATCOPS_TEST_POSTGRES_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres pnpm --filter @chatcops/store-postgres test
+```

+# @chatcops/store-redis
+
+Redis storage adapter for ChatCops supporting both `@upstash/redis` (HTTP / serverless) and `ioredis` (TCP / persistent connections).
+
+Implements all four ChatCops storage interfaces:
+- **conversations**: metadata in Redis hashes, messages as JSON lists, conversation IDs in a sorted set ordered by `updated_at`, with atomic version-checked appends, updates, removals, listing, and purging.
+- **counters**: atomic increments with fixed TTL reset for rate limits and budgets.
+- **kv**: JSON key-value store with `setIfAbsent` (`NX`) for distributed locking.
+- **events**: analytics event collection and querying.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/store-redis
+```
+
+For Upstash / serverless:
+```bash
+npm install @upstash/redis
+```
+
+For standalone Redis (Node.js runtime):
+```bash
+npm install ioredis
+```
+
+## Setup on Vercel
+
+### 1. Using `@upstash/redis` (Recommended for Edge / Serverless)
+
+The `@upstash/redis` client communicates over HTTP REST, making it ideal for Vercel Serverless and Edge Functions without persistent TCP connection limits:
+
+```typescript
+import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis';
+import { redisStorage } from '@chatcops/store-redis';
+import { chatcopsVercelHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+
+const redis = new Redis({
+  url: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL!,
+  token: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN!,
+});
+
+const storage = redisStorage({
+  redis,
+  prefix: 'chatcops', // default: 'chatcops'
+  conversationTtlMs: 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // default: 30 days
+});
+
+export const POST = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  storage,
+  provider: { type: 'openai', apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Using `ioredis` via `fromIoRedis` (Node.js Serverless Functions)
+
+When connecting directly to a standard Redis instance (or Redis cluster / Valkey) in Vercel Node.js Serverless Functions:
+
+```typescript
+import RedisIo from 'ioredis';
+import { fromIoRedis, redisStorage } from '@chatcops/store-redis';
+import { chatcopsVercelHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+
+// Reuse connection across warm lambda invocations
+const io = new RedisIo(process.env.REDIS_URL!, {
+  maxRetriesPerRequest: 3,
+});
+
+const storage = redisStorage({
+  redis: fromIoRedis(io),
+  prefix: 'chatcops',
+});
+
+export const POST = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  storage,
+  provider: { type: 'openai', apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+});
+```
+
+## Options
+
+`redisStorage({ redis, prefix, conversationTtlMs })`
+
+- `redis`: Either a `@upstash/redis` client instance or an adapter created with `fromIoRedis(ioClient)`.
+- `prefix` (optional, default `'chatcops'`): Key prefix applied to all Redis keys for multi-tenant and environment isolation.
+- `conversationTtlMs` (optional, default 30 days): TTL applied to conversation keys (`PEXPIRE`).
+
+## Events Architecture: Hourly Count Hashes
+
+Analytics events are stored using **hourly count hashes** rather than capped streams (`XADD`).
+
+- **Why hourly count hashes over streams**: Redis Streams enforce strictly increasing entry IDs, which causes failures when events arrive out-of-order or with client timestamps in the past. Additionally, querying event counts aggregated by hour or day from a stream requires scanning and parsing historical stream logs client-side.
+- **Hourly count hashes**: Events are bucketed by UTC hour (`{<prefix>}:events:<hour>`) and tracked in a sorted set index (`{<prefix>}:events:hours`). Each hash stores counts keyed by event type (`HINCRBY`). Queries efficiently read only the active hour buckets within the query window and aggregate into hourly or daily totals directly.
+- **Hour-rounding query semantics**: Because events are pre-aggregated into 1-hour UTC buckets, queries round `from` down to the start of its UTC hour (`Math.floor(from / HOUR_MS) * HOUR_MS`) and `to` up to the end of its UTC hour (`Math.ceil(to / HOUR_MS) * HOUR_MS`), ensuring partial-hour queries accurately select all overlapping hourly buckets.
+
+## Redis Cluster Compatibility
+
+All keys generated for a given prefix share the `{<prefix>}` hash tag (e.g. `{chatcops}:conversations`, `{chatcops}:conv:<id>:meta`, `{chatcops}:events:hours`), ensuring all keys for that prefix reside in the same Redis Cluster hash slot while preserving isolation between prefixes. Every script-accessed key is explicitly passed through the `KEYS` array.

+ * RedisEventSink collects analytics events and aggregates counts using hourly count hashes.

+ * Events are stored in hourly buckets ({<prefix>}:events:<hour>) and indexed in a sorted set
+ * ({<prefix>}:events:hours). This design provides several critical guarantees:
+ * 1. Historical & Out-of-Order Timestamps: Unlike Redis Streams (XADD) which require monotonically
+ *    increasing entry IDs and reject or misorder past timestamps, hourly hashes increment counters
+ *    into the appropriate historical hour bucket seamlessly.
+ * 2. Efficient Aggregation: Event counts are pre-aggregated inside Redis hashes (HINCRBY), avoiding
+ *    the need to download and scan raw event payloads over the network.
+ * 3. Cluster Compatibility: All keys are hash-tagged with {<prefix>} and all keys accessed in scripts
+ *    are explicitly passed through the KEYS array.
+ *
+ * Query Semantics:
+ * Because events are pre-aggregated into 1-hour UTC buckets, queries round `from` down to the start
+ * of its UTC hour (Math.floor(from / HOUR_MS) * HOUR_MS) and `to` up to the end of its UTC hour
+ * (Math.ceil(to / HOUR_MS) * HOUR_MS) to select all hourly buckets overlapping the requested window.

+# @chatcops/store-sqlite
+
+SQLite storage for ChatCops single-server deployments. It uses Node.js 22.13+'s built-in `node:sqlite`, so no native database dependency is required.
+
+Node may print an `ExperimentalWarning` the first time `node:sqlite` loads; this is expected from Node and is not an error.
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @chatcops/store-sqlite
+```
+
+```ts
+import { chatcopsMiddleware } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { sqliteStorage } from '@chatcops/store-sqlite';
+
+const storage = sqliteStorage({ path: './chatcops.db' });
+
+app.use('/api/chat', chatcopsMiddleware({
+  provider,
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  storage,
+}));
+```
+
+Use `path: ':memory:'` for tests, or pass an already-open `node:sqlite` `DatabaseSync` (or structurally compatible better-sqlite3 database) with `database`.
+
+SQLite is intended here for one server process and a local file. Back up the database file using your normal deployment process. Call `await storage.close?.()` during graceful shutdown.
+
+## Extra columns
+
+To stamp columns of your own (a tenant or site id) on every new row, add them with your own `ALTER TABLE` and pass `extraColumns` with a `rowHook`:
+
+```ts
+database.exec('ALTER TABLE chatcops_conversations ADD COLUMN workspace_id TEXT');
+database.exec('ALTER TABLE chatcops_messages ADD COLUMN workspace_id TEXT');
+
+const storage = sqliteStorage({
+  database,
+  extraColumns: ['workspace_id'],
+  rowHook: ({ metadata }) => ({ workspace_id: metadata?.workspaceId }),
+});
+```
+
+The hook runs when a row is created, never on updates. It gets the table, the conversation id, the metadata passed with the write, and the message for message rows. Returning a key that isn't in `extraColumns` throws and nothing from that write is stored. Values are bound as parameters, never put into the SQL, and must be strings, numbers, booleans (stored as 1 or 0) or null.
+
+The `{ workspace_id: 'uuid' }` form from `@chatcops/store-postgres` works too, so one config fits both stores. SQLite ignores the type.

 ## Storage
 
-The built-in collector stores events in memory (max 1000 events). For production use, export events to your analytics platform:
+The built-in collector stores events in memory (max 1000 events). With `analytics: true` and a `storage`, the server already writes events to the store's sink, buffered and flushed as each reply ends. To do the same in your own code, use `BufferedEventSink`. It batches up to 50 events by default and flushes every 2 seconds. Call `flush()` when you need to wait for queued writes, such as before a process exits:
 
 ```typescript
-const collector = new AnalyticsCollector();
-
-// Periodically flush to your analytics service
-setInterval(() => {
-  const events = collector.getEvents();
-  if (events.length > 0) {
-    sendToAnalytics(events);
-    collector.clear();
-  }
-}, 60_000); // Every minute
+import { BufferedEventSink, memoryStorage, statsFromSink } from '@chatcops/core';
+
+const storage = memoryStorage();
+const eventSink = storage.events;
+if (!eventSink) throw new Error('Event storage is not configured');
+
+const analytics = new BufferedEventSink(eventSink, {
+  maxBatch: 50,
+  flushMs: 2000,
+});
+
+analytics.track('custom:event', { key: 'value' });
+await analytics.flush();
+
+const now = Date.now();
+const stats = await statsFromSink(eventSink, {
+  from: now - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
+  to: now,
+});
 ```
 
+Use a persistent `EventSink` implementation when events need to be shared across processes or survive restarts. Writes that fail are logged and dropped so analytics does not interrupt chat requests. `statsFromSink` requires the sink's optional `query` method; the range includes `from` and excludes `to`.

+
+Registering a built-in name (`claude`, `openai`, `gemini`, `openai-compatible`) throws. Registering the same name again replaces the factory.

+You can also skip the registry and pass a provider object you built yourself as the server's `provider`. Anything with `step()` or `chat()` works:

+## Running a turn
+
+`runTurn()` is what sits between a provider and the server: it calls `step()`, runs the tools the model asks for, and repeats until the model answers, up to 5 tool rounds. It yields the parts the widget receives (`text-delta`, `tool-call`, `lead-captured`, `finish` and so on) and returns the reply as a `ChatMessage`.
+
+```typescript
+import { createProvider, runTurn, toolRegistry } from '@chatcops/core';
+
+const provider = await createProvider({ type: 'claude', apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! });

+
+for await (const part of turn) {
+  if (part.type === 'text-delta') process.stdout.write(part.delta);
+}
 ```
 
+Provider errors don't throw. They end the turn with an `error` part and a `finish` part with reason `error`. `chat()` and `chatSync()` on the built-in providers are thin wrappers over `runTurn()` that still throw as they did in 0.5. They're deprecated: use `runTurn()`, which also gives you the reply's parts, status and token usage.
+
+For tests, `@chatcops/core/testing/provider` has `scriptedProvider()`, which plays back a script of steps instead of calling a model.

 ## Custom Tool Example
 
+`inputSchema` takes any JSON Schema with an object at the root: nested objects, arrays, `enum`, `anyOf` and `$ref` work with Claude, OpenAI and Gemini.

+title: Upgrading from 0.5
+description: What changes when you move @chatcops/server and @chatcops/widget from 0.5 to 0.6, and @chatcops/core from 0.4 to 0.5.
+---
+
+This release changes a lot inside the server: how replies are run and stored, how limits are counted, and what goes over the wire. Most apps upgrade without code changes, because old widgets keep working against the new server and the new widget keeps working against an old server. This page lists what can need your attention, then the new options worth turning on.
+
+The versions are `@chatcops/server` 0.6, `@chatcops/widget` 0.6 and `@chatcops/core` 0.5. They need Node.js 22 or later.
+
+## Upgrade the server first
+
+Upgrade the server, deploy it, then update the widget. A widget from 0.5 or earlier sends requests without `"protocol": 1`, and the new server answers those in the exact 0.5 format until 1.0. The server logs one line the first time it does, so you can tell when old widgets are still around (cached pages, a pinned CDN version).
+
+The 0.6 widget also works against a 0.5 server, so the order isn't critical. It just gets more from a 0.6 one: reply ids that regenerate can name, and a clear "cut off" state when a stream ends early.
+
+## Things to check
+
+### Budgets are on by default
+
+The server now caps what replies can cost: 200 replies per conversation and 2 million tokens per IP per UTC day. A visitor who hits a cap gets an error instead of a reply. The server logs the budgets in force when it starts. To change one, set it in `budgets`. To turn one off, set it to `false`. `budgets: false` turns them all off. See [Budgets](/server/setup/#budgets).
+
+### Per-IP limits need the visitor's IP
+
+Rate limits and the per-IP budget key on the visitor's IP. The server now reads it only from headers the platform sets itself. On Vercel and Cloudflare that just works. Express uses `req.ip`, which follows `app.set('trust proxy', ...)`. Anywhere else (Netlify, a Node server behind your own proxy, Bun, Deno), set `clientIp` to read your host's header. Until you do, per-IP limits are skipped, with one warning. The server used to trust the first `X-Forwarded-For` entry, which a visitor can set to anything. See [the visitor's IP](/server/fetch-runtimes/#the-visitors-ip).
+
+### Provider classes moved to subpaths
+
+Importing `@chatcops/core` no longer loads the Claude, OpenAI and Gemini SDKs, which cuts serverless cold starts. If you import the classes directly, change the import:
+
+```typescript
+// 0.4
+import { ClaudeProvider } from '@chatcops/core';
+
+// 0.5
+import { ClaudeProvider } from '@chatcops/core/providers/claude';
+```
+
+The same goes for `@chatcops/core/providers/openai` and `@chatcops/core/providers/gemini`. `createProvider()` and the server's `provider: { type: ... }` config don't change.
+
+### One reply per conversation at a time
+
+A second message sent while a reply for the same conversation is still streaming is refused (`409 conversation_busy` in protocol v1, `provider_error` for 0.5 widgets). The widget doesn't let visitors do this, so it only shows up with custom clients that send in parallel.
+
+### Deprecated options
+
+These still work. `cors` logs a warning once.
+
+| Instead of | Use |
+|---|---|
+| `cors: 'https://acme.com'` | `allowedOrigins: ['https://acme.com']` |
+| `conversationStore` | `storage`, from a store package |
+| `RateLimiter` export | Nothing. Limits are counted in `storage` now, and `cleanup()` does nothing. |
+| `chat()` and `chatSync()` on the built-in providers | `runTurn()` from `@chatcops/core` |
+| `regenerate: true` in custom clients | `regenerate: { assistantMessageId }` |
+
+Setting both `cors` and `allowedOrigins`, or both `conversationStore` and `storage`, is an error. One detail for `cors` users: a request without an `Origin` header no longer gets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` back. Only browsers read that header, and browsers always send `Origin` on cross-origin requests.
+
+### Smaller changes
+
+- Each reply is saved as one assistant message with its parts (text, then each tool call and result), its status and token usage. A store written for 0.4 that only has `get`, `save` and `delete` keeps working; the server logs one warning that two instances writing the same conversation can lose a message, which stores with `append` avoid.
+- A reply the visitor walked away from is saved and marked `aborted`, and the model doesn't see it next time.
+- Retrying a message that already has a saved reply sends that reply again instead of asking the model for a second one.
+- Knowledge base excerpts, the visitor's page and pre-chat details, and the locale line go after the system prompt instead of into it. That lets Claude's prompt cache hold your system prompt, and keeps visitor text out of the instructions.
+- Pre-chat form answers are stored with the conversation from its first message and can't change after that. `preChatFields` lists the fields to keep.
+- A provider that fails to set up (a missing API key, say) no longer stops the process at startup. It's logged once, and chat requests get `provider_error`.
+- `require('@chatcops/widget')` now fails with `ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED`. It never worked (it returned an empty object). Use `import`.
+- Tool `execute(input, context)` gets a second argument with the conversation id and an abort signal. Tools that ignore it keep working.
+
+## Worth turning on
+
+None of these are on by default. Each one closes a gap that 0.5 had no answer for.
+
+- `storage`: conversations, limits and the one-reply lock shared by every server instance. On serverless, memory doesn't last between requests, and the server warns about it. See [Storage](/server/storage/).
+- `allowedOrigins`: only your sites can put the chat on their pages. See [Allowed origins](/server/setup/#allowed-origins).
+- `sessionSecrets`, and optionally `turnstile`: a guessed or leaked conversation id is useless, and a script has to pass Turnstile to start a session. Start with `requireSession: false` while 0.5 widgets are still cached, since they don't send tokens. See [Session tokens](/server/setup/#session-tokens).
+- `budgets.globalPerDay`: a daily cap on total spend, in tokens or dollars. There's no default.
+- Tools with `inputSchema`: a full JSON Schema, nested objects and arrays included, instead of the flat `parameters` form. See [Tools](/core/tools/).
+
+For custom clients, the new response format is [protocol v1](/server/setup/#protocol-v1), with typed parts and real HTTP statuses. Apps built on the AI SDK's `useChat` can use [`chatcopsAiSdkHandler`](/server/ai-sdk/).

+title: AI SDK (useChat)
+description: Point the AI SDK's useChat hook at a ChatCops server.
+---
+
+`chatcopsAiSdkHandler` answers in the [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev)'s UI message stream, so an app that already uses `useChat` can use a ChatCops server instead of its own route. You keep your chat UI and get ChatCops on the server: stored conversations, rate limits, budgets, allowed origins and tools.
+
+It's a Fetch API handler like `chatcopsVercelHandler`, so it works as a Next.js route handler and in any runtime from the [fetch runtimes page](/server/fetch-runtimes/). It's tested against `ai` 7.
+
+## Next.js
+
+Create `app/api/chat/route.ts`, the path `useChat` calls by default:
+
+```typescript
+import { chatcopsAiSdkHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+
+const handler = chatcopsAiSdkHandler({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+});
+
+export const POST = handler;
+export const OPTIONS = handler;
+```
+
+Then use `useChat` as usual:
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+import { useChat } from '@ai-sdk/react';
+import { useState } from 'react';
+
+export function Chat({ chatId }: { chatId: string }) {
+  const { messages, sendMessage, status, error } = useChat({ id: chatId });
+  const [input, setInput] = useState('');
+
+  return (
+    <form
+      onSubmit={(event) => {
+        event.preventDefault();
+        sendMessage({ text: input });
+        setInput('');
+      }}
+    >
+      {messages.map((message) => (
+        <p key={message.id}>
+          {message.role}:{' '}
+          {message.parts.map((part, i) => (part.type === 'text' ? <span key={i}>{part.text}</span> : null))}
+        </p>
+      ))}
+      {error && <p>Something went wrong. Try again.</p>}
+      <input value={input} onChange={(event) => setInput(event.target.value)} disabled={status !== 'ready'} />
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+The chat `id` is the ChatCops conversation id. `useChat` makes up a new one each time the component mounts, so pass a stable `id` (one per conversation, saved however your app saves things) to keep talking in the same conversation after a reload.
+
+## How it differs from an AI SDK route
+
+The server keeps the history. A typical AI SDK route takes the whole `messages` array from the client and sends it to the model. ChatCops reads only the last user message and answers from the conversation it has stored, so a visitor can't edit the history or add assistant turns the model never wrote. Changing an earlier message in the client changes what's on screen, not what the model sees.
+
+The rest maps over directly:
+
+- `regenerate()` replaces the answer on the server too. The old answer stays until the new one has finished.
+- A retry of a message that already has an answer gets that answer again, without calling the model.
+- Tools run on the server. They show up as `tool-<name>` parts with `providerExecuted: true`, so `useChat` doesn't try to run them or wait for their output.
+- A lead from the lead capture tool arrives as a `data-lead-captured` part.
+- Each assistant message has `metadata.conversationId`. With `exposeUsage: true` the metadata also has the reply's token `usage`.
+- A request the server won't answer (rate limited, invalid, a reply already streaming) gets an HTTP status with a JSON body. An error after the reply has started, such as `provider_error` or `budget_exceeded`, is an `error` chunk with the code as its text. Both set `useChat`'s `error` and call its `onError`.
+
+To send ChatCops' visitor context, put it in the request body. `pageContext`, `locale` and `userData` pass through:
+
+```tsx
+sendMessage({ text: input }, { body: { locale: navigator.language } });
+```
+
+## The visitor's IP
+
+Per-IP rate limits and budgets need the visitor's IP. On Vercel and Cloudflare Workers the handler reads it from the platform's own headers. Anywhere else, set `clientIp` as on the [fetch runtimes page](/server/fetch-runtimes/#the-visitors-ip).

+title: Next.js, Hono, Bun and Deno
+description: Run ChatCops in any runtime built on the Fetch API.
+---
+
+`chatcopsVercelHandler` is a plain `(request: Request) => Promise<Response>` function. It isn't tied to Vercel, so it works in any runtime that speaks the Fetch API: Next.js route handlers, Hono, Bun and Deno.
+
+Two things apply to every example on this page:
+
+- **Route `OPTIONS` to the handler as well as `POST`.** The handler answers the CORS preflight itself. A widget on another origin sends `OPTIONS` first, and if your router returns 404 or 405 for it, the browser never sends the chat request.
+- **Create the handler once, at module level.** It holds the conversation store and the rate limiter. A handler created per request starts empty every time, so conversations lose their history and rate limits never trigger.
+
+## Next.js (App Router)
+
+Create `app/api/chat/route.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { chatcopsVercelHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+
+const handler = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  allowedOrigins: ['*'],
+});
+
+export const POST = handler;
+export const OPTIONS = handler;
+```
+
+The widget's `data-api-url` is then `/api/chat` on the same site, or the full URL from another origin.
+
+## Hono
+
+Pass Hono's raw `Request` to the handler with `c.req.raw`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Hono } from 'hono';
+import { chatcopsVercelHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+
+const chat = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  allowedOrigins: ['*'],
+});
+
+const app = new Hono();
+
+app.on(['POST', 'OPTIONS'], '/api/chat', (c) => chat(c.req.raw));
+
+export default app;
+```
+
+Bun runs this file as it is (`bun run index.ts`). For other runtimes, start the app the way [Hono's docs](https://hono.dev/docs/getting-started/basic) describe for that runtime.
+
+## Bun
+
+```typescript
+import { chatcopsVercelHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+
+const chat = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  allowedOrigins: ['*'],
+  // Set below from the socket, so a visitor can't choose it.
+  clientIp: (req) => req.headers.get('x-client-ip'),
+});
+
+Bun.serve({
+  port: 3000,
+  // Replies stream for a while; Bun closes idle connections after 10 seconds by default.
+  idleTimeout: 120,
+  fetch(req, server) {
+    const { pathname } = new URL(req.url);
+    if (pathname !== '/api/chat') return new Response('Not found', { status: 404 });
+
+    // The visitor's IP, for per-IP rate limits and budgets. set() replaces
+    // any x-client-ip the visitor sent.
+    const headers = new Headers(req.headers);
+    headers.set('x-client-ip', server.requestIP(req)?.address ?? '');
+    return chat(new Request(req, { headers }));
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Deno
+
+```typescript
+import { chatcopsVercelHandler } from 'npm:@chatcops/server@^0.5.0';
+
+const chat = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: Deno.env.get('ANTHROPIC_API_KEY')!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  allowedOrigins: ['*'],
+  // Set below from the socket, so a visitor can't choose it.
+  clientIp: (req) => req.headers.get('x-client-ip'),
+});
+
+Deno.serve({ port: 8000 }, (req, info) => {
+  const { pathname } = new URL(req.url);
+  if (pathname !== '/api/chat') return new Response('Not found', { status: 404 });
+
+  // The visitor's IP, for per-IP rate limits and budgets. set() replaces
+  // any x-client-ip the visitor sent.
+  const headers = new Headers(req.headers);
+  headers.set('x-client-ip', (info.remoteAddr as Deno.NetAddr).hostname);
+  return chat(new Request(req, { headers }));
+});
+```
+
+Run it with `deno run --allow-net --allow-env --allow-read --allow-sys server.ts`. Pin the version in the `npm:` specifier as above. Deno also skips npm versions published in the last 24 hours by default, so right after a ChatCops release it may resolve the previous version for a day.
+
+## The visitor's IP
+
+Rate limits and the per-IP budget key on the visitor's IP. The handler only reads it from a header that the platform sets itself, because a visitor can send any `X-Forwarded-For` they like and get a fresh limit with every request.
+
+| Where it runs | Where the IP comes from |
+|---|---|
+| Vercel | Vercel's own headers (`x-vercel-forwarded-for`, `x-real-ip`, `x-forwarded-for`), which Vercel overwrites. Nothing to set. |
+| Cloudflare Workers (`chatcopsCloudflareHandler`) | `CF-Connecting-IP`. Nothing to set. |
+| Express | `req.ip`, which follows Express's `trust proxy` setting. Behind one proxy, call `app.set('trust proxy', 1)`. |
+| Anywhere else | Your `clientIp` function. |
+
+Anywhere else, set `clientIp` to read the header your host or proxy sets:
+
+```typescript
+const handler = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  // ...
+  clientIp: (req) => req.headers.get('x-nf-client-connection-ip'), // Netlify
+  // clientIp: (req) => req.headers.get('x-real-ip'),            // your nginx, with proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr
+});
+```
+
+Bun and Deno have no proxy in front, so the examples above copy the socket address into a header and read that. With Hono, do the same in the route with Hono's `getConnInfo`, or read your proxy's header.
+
+Without a way to tell the IP, per-IP limits are skipped and the server logs one warning saying so. Visitors never share one limit: that used to happen with an `"unknown"` key, where one busy visitor could use up the limit for everyone.
+
+## Checking your setup
+
+With the server running (a placeholder key such as `test` is enough for the first two):
+
+```bash
+# CORS preflight: expect 204 with Access-Control-Allow-Origin
+curl -i -X OPTIONS http://localhost:3000/api/chat
+
+# Broken JSON: expect 400 {"error":"Invalid JSON body"}
+curl -i -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/chat -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{broken'
+
+# A real reply (needs a real key): expect data: lines, ending with data: [DONE]
+curl -N -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/chat -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  --data '{"conversationId":"test","message":"Hello"}'
+```

+title: Protocol
+description: Reference for ChatCops protocol v1 requests, streaming events, and errors.
+---
+
+ChatCops protocol v1 is the client-server protocol used by the `@chatcops/widget` (version 0.6 and newer) and custom clients, including mobile apps, command-line tools, backend services, and alternative frontends.
+
+This reference specifies how clients negotiate protocol v1, the JSON request body schema and limits, Server-Sent Events (SSE) streaming framing, every wire part event, and HTTP error handling.
+
+---
+
+## Protocol Negotiation
+
+The server supports two primary stream formats for chat endpoints: the modern **protocol v1** stream and the legacy **0.5 format** (which is retained for backwards compatibility with older widgets and scheduled for removal in version 1.0).
+
+### Requesting Protocol v1
+
+A client requests protocol v1 using either of two supported mechanisms:
+
+1. **Request Body Field (Recommended)**:
+   Include `"protocol": 1` in the JSON request body:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "protocol": 1,
+     "conversationId": "test-1",
+     "message": "Hi"
+   }
+   ```
+   A request body field is preferred over a custom header because custom headers trigger a CORS preflight request, whereas older servers before v0.6 only allowed `Content-Type` in their preflights.
+
+2. **Request Header**:
+   Send the `x-chatcops-protocol` header with value `1` (or any integer 1 or higher):
+   ```http
+   x-chatcops-protocol: 1
+   ```
+
+### Detecting the Protocol v1 Response
+
+When protocol v1 is active:
+- **Successful streaming responses** include the response header:
+  ```http
+  x-chatcops-protocol: 1
+  ```
+  and the stream begins with a `start` event part: `data: {"type":"start",...}`.
+- **Cross-origin requests** allow clients to inspect this header because the server exposes `Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Retry-After, X-ChatCops-Protocol`.
+- **Pre-stream refusals** are returned immediately as non-200 JSON responses (for example, `400 Bad Request` or `429 Too Many Requests`).
+
+If neither `"protocol": 1` in the body nor `x-chatcops-protocol: 1` in the request header is supplied, the server falls back to the legacy 0.5 response format (where all refusals and text chunks are framed in a 200 SSE stream).
+
+---
+
+## Request Body
+
+The server validates chat requests using Zod (`chatRequestSchema` in `@chatcops/server`).
+
+### Common Request Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required? | Constraints & Behavior | Example |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `protocol` | `number` | Optional | Set to `1` to request protocol v1 streaming. Evaluated as `protocol >= 1`. | `1` |
+| `conversationId` | `string` | **Yes** | 1–128 characters. Identifies the conversation thread across turns. | `"c_8f2a1b9c"` |
+| `message` | `string` | **Yes** | 1–10,000 characters. The user message text. | `"Hello, what plans do you offer?"` |
+| `messageId` | `string` | Optional | 1–128 characters. Client-assigned ID for the user message. Used for idempotency: re-sending an already answered `messageId` replays the saved assistant reply without invoking the AI model again. | `"msg_usr_101"` |
+| `regenerate` | `boolean` \| `object` | Optional | `true` replaces the latest assistant reply (or the reply corresponding to `messageId`). `{ assistantMessageId: string }` (1–128 chars) targets a specific assistant message for regeneration. | `{ "assistantMessageId": "msg_ast_202" }` |
+| `pageContext` | `object` | Optional | Information about the page where the client is active. Evaluated and placed in system context. | See [Nested Structures](#nested-request-structures) |
+| `locale` | `string` | Optional | Max 10 characters. Client browser or device locale (e.g., `"en-US"`, `"es"`). Prompts the model to reply in that language. | `"en-US"` |
+| `userData` | `Record<string, string>` | Optional | Pre-chat form or visitor metadata. Max 50 keys; each key max 100 characters; each value max 500 characters. Locked from the first message in storage. | `{ "plan": "pro", "company": "Acme" }` |
+
+:::note
+The TypeScript interface `ChatRequestV1` in `@chatcops/core/protocol` contains additional fields reserved for a future release (such as `toolResults`, `toolApprovals`, `clientTools`, and `resumeToken`), which the current server ignores.
+:::
+
+### Nested Request Structures
+
+#### `pageContext`
+Provides current webpage context to the assistant. The server validates:
+- `url`: Valid URL string (`z.string().url()`). Only up to 2,000 characters reach the prompt.
+- `title`: String, maximum 500 characters.
+- `description` *(optional)*: String, maximum 1,000 characters.
+- `contentSnippet` *(optional)*: String, maximum 2,000 characters.
+
+```json
+{
+  "url": "https://example.com/pricing",
+  "title": "Pricing & Plans - Acme Inc",
+  "description": "Flexible plans starting at $19/mo.",
+  "contentSnippet": "Starter: $19/mo. Pro: $49/mo. Enterprise: Custom."
+}
+```
+
+### Example Request
+
+```json
+{
+  "protocol": 1,
+  "conversationId": "c_usr_8829",
+  "messageId": "msg_9910",
+  "message": "Can you check the balance for my account?",
+  "pageContext": {
+    "url": "https://app.acme.com/dashboard",
+    "title": "Account Dashboard"
+  },
+  "locale": "en-US",
+  "userData": {
+    "tier": "enterprise"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Stream Format and Framing
+
+Protocol v1 uses HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE). Successful streaming replies return with HTTP `200 OK` and headers:
+
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+Content-Type: text/event-stream; charset=utf-8
+Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transform
+X-Accel-Buffering: no
+x-chatcops-protocol: 1
+Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Retry-After, X-ChatCops-Protocol
+```
+
+### Event Framing Rules
+
+1. **SSE Data Lines**: Every protocol event is serialized as JSON on a line starting with `data: `, terminated by a double newline (`\n\n`):
+   ```text
+   data: {"type":"text-delta","id":"t1","delta":"Hello"}
+
+   ```
+2. **Terminal Stream Marker**: The server terminates every cleanly completed stream with the literal SSE frame:
+   ```text
+   data: [DONE]
+
+   ```
+3. **Heartbeat / Ping Comments**: After 10 seconds of silence (e.g. while awaiting a slow tool or backend operation), the server sends an SSE comment line:
+   ```text
+   : ping
+
+   ```
+   Comments begin with a colon `:` and do not contain JSON data. Custom clients should ignore them; they serve to prevent timeouts in intermediary proxies and firewalls.
+4. **Distinction Between `finish` and `[DONE]`**:
+   - `finish` is a **protocol part** that carries turn termination details (`reason`, token `usage`, pending calls).
+   - `[DONE]` is the **SSE transport framing marker** indicating that the HTTP stream has ended.
+   - If a stream closes or reaches EOF without emitting a `finish` event part, the stream was abruptly **interrupted or cut off** (e.g., server process crash, proxy timeout, network drop).
+5. **Forward Compatibility**: Clients must ignore unknown or unrecognized `type` values in `WirePart` objects. The protocol design allows introducing new part types without breaking compliant clients.
+
+---
+
+## Part Reference
+
+The authoritative TypeScript type for protocol events is `WirePart` (exported from `@chatcops/core/protocol`).
+
+There are 13 variants defined in `WirePart`. Nine are actively emitted by `@chatcops/server` today, while four are reserved for specialized features or future capabilities:
+
+| Part Type | Purpose | Fields | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `start` | First event of every reply. Identifies the turn and conversation. | `protocol: 1`, `conversationId: string`, `messageId: string`, `resumed?: boolean`, `capabilities?: { session?: boolean }` | **Emitted** |
+| `text-start` | Marks the beginning of an assistant text block. | `id: string` | **Emitted** |
+| `text-delta` | Streams a chunk of text content for a text block. | `id: string`, `delta: string` | **Emitted** |
+| `text-end` | Marks the end of an assistant text block. | `id: string` | **Emitted** |
+| `source` | Citations or document references used by knowledge base / RAG. | `sourceId: string`, `url: string`, `title?: string`, `snippet?: string` | *Reserved* |
+| `tool-call` | Signals that a tool invocation has started. | `toolCallId: string`, `toolName: string`, `input: unknown`, `executor: 'server' \| 'client' \| 'mcp'`, `needsApproval?: boolean`, `title?: string` | **Emitted** |
+| `tool-result` | Emits the execution outcome of a tool call. | `toolCallId: string`, `output?: unknown`, `error?: string` | **Emitted** |
+| `lead-captured` | Emitted when the built-in lead capture tool successfully gathers visitor information. | `lead: Record<string, unknown>` | **Emitted** |
+| `handoff` | Human agent handoff status changes. | `status: 'requested' \| 'queued' \| 'connected' \| 'ended'`, `agent?: WireAgent`, `pollAfterMs?: number` | *Reserved* |
+| `agent-message` | Direct message from a live human agent. | `messageId: string`, `text: string`, `agent: WireAgent`, `timestamp: number` | *Reserved* |
+| `suggestions` | List of clickable quick-reply prompt options. | `items: string[]` | *Reserved* |
+| `error` | In-stream failure notification (e.g., provider error or budget exceeded). | `code: WireErrorCode`, `retryable: boolean`, `message?: string`, `retryAfterMs?: number`, `scope?: 'conversation' \| 'session' \| 'ip' \| 'global'` | **Emitted** |
+| `finish` | Final protocol event of every assistant turn. | `reason: WireFinishReason`, `usage?: { inputTokens: number; outputTokens: number }`, `pendingToolCalls?: string[]`, `resumeToken?: string` | **Emitted** |
+
+### WirePart Details and Examples
+
+#### `start`
+Always the first event in a successful stream:
+```json
+{
+  "type": "start",
+  "protocol": 1,
+  "conversationId": "c_8f2",
+  "messageId": "m_91a0c4",
+  "capabilities": {
+    "session": true
+  }
+}
+```
+- `capabilities.session`: When `true`, indicates that session tokens are enabled on the server. When `requireSession: false` is configured, chat requests without a token can still proceed.
+
+#### `text-start`, `text-delta`, `text-end`

+- `reason` enum values (`WireFinishReason`):
+  - **Currently emitted by the server**:
+    - `'stop'`: The model finished generating naturally.
+    - `'length'`: Generation was cut off by token limits (`maxTokens`).
+    - `'error'`: Turn ended due to an error.
+    - `'aborted'`: Request was aborted by the client or connection termination.

+    - `'client-tool-calls'`
+    - `'approval-required'`
+    - `'handoff'`
+- `usage`: Only included when `exposeUsage: true` is configured on the server handler (omitted by default for privacy).
+
+---
+
+## Errors Before Streaming
+
+When a request cannot be processed, the server rejects it **before** opening an SSE stream. In protocol v1, standard pre-stream refusals return HTTP status codes, CORS headers, and a JSON body matching `WireErrorBody`:
+
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
+Content-Type: application/json
+Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
+Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Retry-After, X-ChatCops-Protocol
+
+{
+  "error": {
+    "code": "invalid_request",
+    "message": "Invalid request: message"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pre-Stream Error Statuses
+
+| HTTP Status | Error Code (`WireErrorCode` or string) | Trigger Condition | Message / Response Body |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `400` | `invalid_request` | The request body failed Zod schema validation or JSON parsing. | Lists invalid field paths (e.g. `"Invalid request: message"`), never input values. |
+| `401` | `session_required` | Session tokens are required and the request had no token, an invalid signature, or a token issued for another origin. | `{"error":{"code":"session_required","message":"..."}}`. Obtain a token for this conversation from `<chat url>/session`. |
+| `401` | `token_expired` | The provided session token has expired. | Request a new token from `<chat url>/session`. |
+| `401` | `conversation_mismatch` | The session token is valid but was issued for a different conversation. | Obtain a token for the current conversation from `<chat url>/session`. |
+| `401` | `turnstile_failed` | `/session` endpoint only: Cloudflare Turnstile verification failed or was missing. | Returned when bot protection challenge fails. |
+| `403` | `origin_not_allowed` | The `Origin` header is not permitted by `allowedOrigins`. | Answered before the request body is parsed. Returns legacy format `{"error":"origin_not_allowed"}`. |
+| `405` | `Method not allowed` | An HTTP method other than `POST` or `OPTIONS` was used on the chat endpoint. | Answered before the request body is parsed. Returns legacy format `{"error":"Method not allowed"}`. |
+| `409` | `conversation_busy` | Another reply is currently being generated for this `conversationId`. | The server locks conversation turns to prevent state races. |
+| `413` | `payload_too_large` | The request body exceeds the maximum permitted size (default 256 KB). | Prevents excessive memory allocation. |
+| `429` | `rate_limited` | The client IP has exceeded the configured request rate limit. | Includes `retryAfterMs` in body and `Retry-After` in HTTP headers. |
+| `500` | `internal_error` | An unexpected server error occurred prior to stream initialization. | Generic catch-all failure. |
+| `503` | `provider_unavailable` | The AI provider failed setup or is not reachable (e.g. missing API key). | Server logs the underlying reason at startup. |
+
+:::note
+Responses with status `403 origin_not_allowed` and `405 Method not allowed` retain the legacy `{"error":"..."}` JSON body shape rather than `WireErrorBody` because these checks occur before the request body is read or parsed. Additionally, error codes defined in the protocol error dictionary such as `500` for `tool_error`, `502` for `provider_error`, and `504` for `timeout` are defined for mapping compatibility, but during typical operations they emerge as in-stream `error` parts once a stream has been established.
+:::
+
+### Retry-After Header Behavior
+
+When `retryAfterMs` is provided on rate-limited responses:
+- The JSON response body includes `retryAfterMs` (in milliseconds).
+- The HTTP response includes a `Retry-After` header expressing the waiting period in **seconds**, rounded up using `Math.ceil(retryAfterMs / 1000)`:
+  ```http
+  Retry-After: 42
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Errors During Streaming
+
+If a failure occurs **after** the SSE stream has already opened and sent a `start` part, the server cannot change the HTTP status code (since headers have already been sent).
+
+Instead, the server emits an `error` part followed by a `finish` part with reason `'error'`, and then closes with `data: [DONE]`:
+
+```text
+data: {"type":"error","code":"provider_error","retryable":true}
+
+data: {"type":"finish","reason":"error"}
+
+data: [DONE]
+
+```
+
+### `error` WirePart Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `code` | `WireErrorCode` | The error identifier (e.g. `'provider_error'`, `'budget_exceeded'`, `'timeout'`, `'tool_error'`, `'content_filtered'`, `'internal_error'`). |
+| `retryable` | `boolean` | **Required.** Indicates whether the client should attempt to retry the request. |
+| `message` | `string` | Optional human-readable description of the error. |
+| `retryAfterMs` | `number` | Optional delay in milliseconds before retrying. |
+| `scope` | `'conversation' \| 'session' \| 'ip' \| 'global'` | Optional scope of the limit. Used when `code` is `'budget_exceeded'` to identify which limit was reached. |
+
+#### Budget Exceeded In-Stream Error
+
+When a server budget (token, message, or USD cost limit) is exceeded:
+```json
+{
+  "type": "error",
+  "code": "budget_exceeded",
+  "retryable": false,
+  "scope": "conversation"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## TypeScript Types
+
+TypeScript clients can import protocol types directly from the `@chatcops/core` package:
+
+```typescript
+import type { WirePart, ChatRequestV1, WireErrorCode, WireFinishReason } from '@chatcops/core/protocol';
+```
+
+`WirePart` is a discriminated union over the `type` property. You can handle events using a standard `switch` statement:
+
+```typescript
+function handlePart(part: WirePart) {
+  switch (part.type) {
+    case 'start':
+      console.log('Started reply:', part.messageId);
+      break;
+    case 'text-delta':
+      process.stdout.write(part.delta);
+      break;
+    case 'finish':
+      console.log('Turn finished:', part.reason);
+      break;
+    case 'error':
+      console.error('Stream error:', part.code);
+      break;
+    default:
+      // Ignore unknown parts for forward compatibility
+      break;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Installing `@chatcops/core` is convenient for TypeScript and Node.js applications, but it is entirely optional. Non-TypeScript clients (such as Swift on iOS, Kotlin on Android, Python, or Go) can consume protocol v1 by parsing the JSON lines directly.
+
+---
+
+## Try It with curl
+
+You can test a running ChatCops server using `curl`. 
+
+### Command
+
+```bash
+curl -N -X POST http://localhost:3001/chat \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"protocol":1,"conversationId":"test-1","message":"Hi"}'
+```
+
+- `-N` (or `--no-buffer`): Disables curl's buffer so streaming chunks print to the terminal immediately as they arrive.
+- The server must be running and listening on `http://localhost:3001`.
+- On Windows PowerShell, use `curl.exe` to avoid the PowerShell `Invoke-WebRequest` alias.
+
+### Captured Local Response
+
+The transcript below was captured from a local Express server running the repository's `scriptedProvider([textStep('Hello!')])` test provider (which requires no external API keys):
+
+```text
+data: {"type":"start","protocol":1,"conversationId":"test-1","messageId":"2eeea2d1-56f9-428b-a880-af83c496a9a1"}
+
+data: {"type":"text-start","id":"2eeea2d1-56f9-428b-a880-af83c496a9a1-1"}
+
+data: {"type":"text-delta","id":"2eeea2d1-56f9-428b-a880-af83c496a9a1-1","delta":"Hello!"}
+
+data: {"type":"text-end","id":"2eeea2d1-56f9-428b-a880-af83c496a9a1-1"}
+
+data: {"type":"finish","reason":"stop"}
+
+data: [DONE]
+```
+
+:::note
+Identifiers such as `messageId` and text block `id` are generated at runtime and will vary between requests, but the event structure, sequencing, and terminal `[DONE]` frame will match this transcript. If a response takes longer than 10 seconds, periodic `: ping` comment lines will also appear between events.

+title: Security
+description: What can go wrong with a public chat endpoint, which ChatCops option stops each problem, and a production config for each platform.
+---
+
+A chat endpoint is a public URL that calls a paid model with your API key. Anyone who finds it can call it too, from any page or any script. This page covers what that exposes, which option stops each part, and a config to start from on each platform.
+
+## What each layer stops
+
+| Layer | Option | Stops | Doesn't stop |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Allowed origins | `allowedOrigins` | Other sites putting your bot on their pages | Scripts, which can send any `Origin` |
+| Session tokens | `sessionSecrets` | Reading or continuing someone else's conversation with a leaked or guessed id | A script that asks for its own sessions |
+| Turnstile | `turnstile` | Cheap scripted session minting | Paid solver farms |
+| Rate limits | `rateLimit` (on by default) | One IP sending requests faster than a person types | Many IPs |
+| Budgets | `budgets` (on by default) | Any one conversation, IP or day costing more than you set | Nothing. This is the backstop. |
+
+No single layer is enough on its own. Allowed origins and sessions stop the easy cases. Budgets put a ceiling on the bill whatever gets through, and `budgets.globalPerDay` is the one number that caps it all. There's no default for it, because no single number fits every site, so set one.
+
+Rate limits and budgets are counted in `storage`. With the default memory storage, each serverless instance counts on its own, and a limit of 30 a minute becomes 30 per instance. Use a [store package](/server/storage/) in production.
+
+## Always on
+
+These need no config:
+
+- Visitor-supplied text (the page URL and title, pre-chat answers) goes into a separate block marked as untrusted data, never into your system prompt. It's capped at 4,000 characters.
+- Pre-chat answers are stored with the first message and can't be changed later in the conversation. `preChatFields` drops any field you didn't ask for.
+- Request bodies over 256 KB get `413`, and every field has a length cap.
+- Tool definitions are checked when the server starts, and a tool call whose arguments aren't valid JSON gets an error result instead of running.
+- Webhook URLs that point at private or link-local addresses (including cloud metadata endpoints like `169.254.169.254`) are refused unless the webhook sets `allowPrivateNetwork: true`. Only literal addresses are checked, so also block private ranges at the network level if you can.
+- The visitor's IP is read only from headers your platform sets, never from an `X-Forwarded-For` a visitor can send. See [the visitor's IP](/server/fetch-runtimes/#the-visitors-ip).
+
+## A production config
+
+These start from the same options. Swap the storage for the one you use.
+
+### Express
+
+```typescript
+import express from 'express';
+import pg from 'pg';
+import { chatcopsMiddleware } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const app = express();
+// Behind one proxy (a load balancer, nginx), so req.ip is the visitor's.
+app.set('trust proxy', 1);
+app.use(express.json());
+
+app.use(
+  '/api/chat',
+  chatcopsMiddleware({
+    provider: { type: 'claude', apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! },
+    systemPrompt: 'You are the Acme support assistant.',
+    storage: postgresStorage({ db: new pg.Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL }) }),
+    allowedOrigins: ['https://acme.com', 'https://www.acme.com'],
+    sessionSecrets: [process.env.CHATCOPS_SESSION_SECRET!],
+    budgets: { globalPerDay: { tokens: 20_000_000 } },
+  })
+);
+```
+
+Mount it with `app.use` so `/api/chat/session` reaches it too.
+
+### Vercel and Next.js
+
+```typescript
+// app/api/chat/route.ts, and the same two lines in app/api/chat/session/route.ts
+import { chatcopsVercelHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { redisStorage } from '@chatcops/store-redis';
+import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis';
+
+const handler = chatcopsVercelHandler({
+  provider: { type: 'openai', apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY! },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are the Acme support assistant.',
+  storage: redisStorage({ redis: Redis.fromEnv() }),
+  allowedOrigins: ['https://acme.com'],
+  sessionSecrets: [process.env.CHATCOPS_SESSION_SECRET!],
+  turnstile: { secretKey: process.env.TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY! },
+  budgets: { globalPerDay: { tokens: 20_000_000 } },
+});
+
+export const POST = handler;
+export const OPTIONS = handler;
+```
+
+On Vercel the handler reads the visitor's IP from Vercel's own headers. On another host, add `clientIp`.
+
+### Cloudflare Workers
+
+```typescript
+import { chatcopsCloudflareHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { redisStorage } from '@chatcops/store-redis';
+import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis/cloudflare';
+
+let chat: ReturnType<typeof chatcopsCloudflareHandler> | undefined;
+
+export default {
+  fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext) {
+    // Secrets only exist inside a request, so build the handler on the first one.
+    chat ??= chatcopsCloudflareHandler({
+      provider: { type: 'claude', apiKey: env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
+      systemPrompt: 'You are the Acme support assistant.',
+      storage: redisStorage({ redis: Redis.fromEnv(env) }),
+      allowedOrigins: ['https://acme.com'],
+      sessionSecrets: [env.CHATCOPS_SESSION_SECRET],
+      turnstile: { secretKey: env.TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY },
+      budgets: { globalPerDay: { tokens: 20_000_000 } },
+    });
+    return chat(request, env, ctx);
+  },
+};
+```
+
+The Worker gets every path, so `/session` needs nothing extra. The visitor's IP comes from `CF-Connecting-IP`.
+
+### The widget
+
+With `turnstile` on the server, give the widget the site key. Nothing else changes, since the widget handles sessions on its own:
+
+```html
+<script
+  src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@chatcops/widget/dist/chatcops.min.js"
+  data-api-url="https://acme.com/api/chat"
+  data-turnstile-site-key="0x4AAAAAAA..."
+></script>
+```
+
+## Before you go live
+
+The server logs one line about these settings when it starts, and an error or warning for the mistakes it can spot: an origin without `https://` or with a path, an `http://` origin that isn't local, a session secret that's also in a `NEXT_PUBLIC_` (or `VITE_`, `PUBLIC_` and so on) variable. For example:
+
+```
+[chatcops] ERROR: Allowed origin "acme.com" must start with http:// or https://.
+[chatcops] Security: chat allowed from acme.com; session tokens on (900s); Turnstile off.
+```
+
+Then go through the list:
+
+- `allowedOrigins` lists your sites, and nothing else. `['*']` is the default.
+- `storage` is a store package, so limits and budgets hold across instances.
+- `budgets.globalPerDay` is set to a number you're fine paying on a bad day.
+- `sessionSecrets` is set, from a secret store, never a `NEXT_PUBLIC_` or `VITE_` variable. Start with `requireSession: false` if widgets before 0.6 are still cached on your pages, and drop it after a few days.
+- On a host other than Vercel, Cloudflare or Express, `clientIp` reads your platform's header. Otherwise per-IP limits are skipped.
+- If you use the analytics endpoint, `analyticsToken` is set. Without it the endpoint is public.
+- Each tool checks its own input. The model writes it, and a visitor can steer the model, so treat a tool's input like a form submission: check ids belong to the visitor, and keep write actions behind your own auth.
+- Your system prompt says what the bot should refuse. None of these layers stop a visitor talking the model into off-topic work within your budget.
+
+The details of each option are on the [server setup page](/server/setup/): [allowed origins](/server/setup/#allowed-origins), [session tokens](/server/setup/#session-tokens), [Turnstile](/server/setup/#turnstile) and [budgets](/server/setup/#budgets).

-## Custom Conversation Store
+### A provider object instead of a config
 
-By default, the server retains conversation history in memory with `MemoryStore`. For multi-instance deployments or persistent chat history across restarts, pass a custom `conversationStore` that implements the `ConversationStore` interface from `@chatcops/core`:
+`provider` also takes an object you built yourself: anything with `step()` or `chat()` (the [AIProvider interface](/core/providers/#aiprovider-interface)). Use it for a provider ChatCops doesn't have, or in tests with `scriptedProvider()`, which plays back a script instead of calling a model:
 
 ```typescript
-import type { ConversationStore, Conversation } from '@chatcops/core';
+import { scriptedProvider, textStep } from '@chatcops/core/testing/provider';
 
-class RedisConversationStore implements ConversationStore {
-  constructor(private redis: RedisClient) {}
+const handler = createChatHandler({
+  provider: scriptedProvider([textStep('Hello from a test.')]),
+  systemPrompt: 'Be brief.',
+});
+```
 
-  async get(id: string): Promise<Conversation | null> {
-    const raw = await this.redis.get(`chat:${id}`);
-    return raw ? JSON.parse(raw) : null;
-  }
+## Storage
 
-  async save(conversation: Conversation): Promise<void> {
-    await this.redis.set(`chat:${conversation.id}`, JSON.stringify(conversation));
-  }
+By default everything lives in memory, per process. That's fine on one long-running server, but on Vercel, Lambda or Workers each instance has its own memory, so the server logs a warning there. Pass a store package as `storage`:
 
-  async delete(id: string): Promise<void> {
-    await this.redis.del(`chat:${id}`);
-  }
-}
+```typescript
+import pg from 'pg';
+import { postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const handler = chatcopsMiddleware({
+  provider: { type: 'claude', apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  storage: postgresStorage({ db: new pg.Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL }) }),
+});
+```
+
+With a storage that has key-value support, the rule that only one reply is written per conversation at a time holds across all your server instances, not just within one. Setting both `storage` and the older `conversationStore` is an error.
+
+Nothing is deleted on its own. The handler's `purge()` deletes conversations last updated more than `retention.conversationsDays` (default 30) days ago. Call it on a schedule, from a cron job or a Workers cron trigger:
+
+```typescript
+const { purge } = createChatHandler(config);
+await purge(); // resolves how many were deleted
+```
+
+## Allowed origins
+
+`allowedOrigins` lists the sites whose pages can use the chat. Each entry is an exact origin, or a wildcard for subdomains:
+
+```typescript
+allowedOrigins: ['https://acme.com', 'https://*.acme.com'],
+```
+
+A browser request from any other page gets `403 {"error":"origin_not_allowed"}` before the model is called, and the server logs the origin it refused. Without the list (or with `['*']`), any site can put your chat on its pages and spend your tokens. Set it in production.
+
+Entries need the scheme and no path: `https://acme.com`, not `acme.com` or `https://acme.com/`. `https://*.acme.com` matches `https://docs.acme.com` but not `https://acme.com` itself, so list both if you need both. Include the port when it isn't the default, as in `http://localhost:4321`.
+
+Requests without an `Origin` header, such as `curl` or a call from your own server, still go through. The list stops other sites embedding your bot. It doesn't stop scripts, which can send any `Origin` they like. Rate limits and budgets are what stop those.
+
+`cors` is the older option for one origin. It still works as a one-item `allowedOrigins`, with a deprecation warning.
+
+## Session tokens
+
+Without session tokens, anyone who knows a conversation id can keep talking in that conversation, and the model answers with its history in view. Ids are random, so this is about leaked ids and guessing. With `sessionSecrets` set, the chat needs a short-lived token that's bound to one conversation and one site:
+
+```typescript
+sessionSecrets: [process.env.CHATCOPS_SESSION_SECRET!],
+```
+
+Each secret needs at least 32 bytes; `openssl rand -base64 32` makes one. Keep it on the server, never in a `NEXT_PUBLIC_` or `VITE_` variable. The server refuses to start with a shorter one.
+
+The client asks for a token at the chat URL plus `/session` (`/api/chat/session` for a chat at `/api/chat`):
+
+```
+POST /api/chat/session
+{ "conversationId": "c_8f2", "previousToken": "eyJ..." }
+
+200 { "token": "eyJ...", "expiresAt": 1792411200000, "conversationId": "c_8f2" }
+```
+
+Then it sends `Authorization: Bearer <token>` with each chat request. Tokens last `sessionTtlSec` (15 minutes by default). To keep a conversation, the client sends its id with the token it had for it, which still works up to 30 days after it expired. An id that has nothing stored yet is given out as is, since there's nothing in it to read. An id that has messages, sent without its token or with a token for another conversation or site, gets a new conversation instead, so a guessed or leaked id is useless.
+
+The widget does all of this on its own from 0.6. When a chat request gets a 401, it asks `/session` for a token, keeps it in `localStorage` and sends the request again. When the server answers with a new conversation id, the widget moves to it.
+
+With Express, mount the middleware with `app.use('/api/chat', ...)` so `/api/chat/session` reaches it. On Vercel or Next.js, export the same handler from a second route file at `app/api/chat/session/route.ts`. A Cloudflare Worker gets every path already.
+
+Chat requests without a token get `401 session_required`, an expired token gets `401 token_expired`, and a token for another conversation gets `401 conversation_mismatch`. Widgets before 0.6 don't send tokens, so set `requireSession: false` while they're still around: requests without a token then go through, and the ones that send a token are still checked.
+
+To change the secret, put the new one first and keep the old one until its tokens have expired: `sessionSecrets: [newSecret, oldSecret]`. New tokens are signed with the first, and any of them verifies.
+
+### Turnstile
+
+A script can still ask for as many sessions as it likes. To make that harder, have `/session` check a [Cloudflare Turnstile](https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/) token first:
+
+```typescript
+sessionSecrets: [process.env.CHATCOPS_SESSION_SECRET!],
+turnstile: { secretKey: process.env.TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY! },
+```
+
+Then give the widget the site key, with `data-turnstile-site-key="0x4AAA..."` or `turnstileSiteKey` in `ChatCops.init()`. The widget loads Cloudflare's script only when it first needs a session, so visitors who never open the chat don't load it. The check is invisible for most visitors. When Cloudflare wants a click, the challenge shows near the bottom right corner of the page, outside the widget. A page with a Content Security Policy needs `https://challenges.cloudflare.com` in `script-src` and `frame-src`.
+
+The server checks the token with Cloudflare, sending the visitor's IP, and refuses a missing or failed one with `401 turnstile_failed`. If Cloudflare can't be reached, `/session` answers `503` and issues nothing. A session refreshed with its previous token skips Turnstile, since it passed when it was first issued. `action`, `expectedHostnames` and `timeoutMs` (default 5000) are optional, and a client that retries `/session` with the same Turnstile token can send the same `idempotencyKey` (a UUID) each time.
+
+## Budgets
+
+Budgets cap what replies can cost, so a script hammering your endpoint can't run up the bill. They're counted in `storage`, so they hold across instances.
+
+They're on by default:
+
+| Scope | Default | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| `perConversation` | 200 replies | The widget keeps a conversation across visits, so this counts replies rather than tokens, which would grow with the size of your system prompt. |
+| `perIpPerDay` | 2M tokens | The cost backstop. A script can start new conversations at will, but not new IPs as easily. |
+| `globalPerDay` | none | No single number fits every site. Set one. |
+
+The server logs the budgets in force once at startup:
+
+```
+[chatcops] Budgets: 200 replies per conversation (default), 2M tokens per IP per day (default). No daily total is set; `budgets.globalPerDay` caps your whole bill. Set `budgets` to change them, or `budgets: false` to turn them off.
 ```
 
+A scope you set replaces its default whole. `false` turns a scope off, and `budgets: false` turns them all off:
+
+```typescript
+budgets: {
+  perConversation: { tokens: 400_000 },            // over the conversation's lifetime
+  perIpPerDay: { tokens: 2_000_000, messages: 200 },
+  globalPerDay: { usd: 20 },                        // the backstop
+  // What a request cost, for the dollar cap. Price cached input at its discount.
+  price: (usage) => (usage.inputTokens * 1 + usage.outputTokens * 5) / 1_000_000,
+},
+```
+
+Tokens count input and output at face value, and every request sends the conversation so far, so a long conversation uses up a token budget faster than its length suggests. Budgets are checked before each model request and charged after it, so a reply can go over by one request, and each request asks for no more output than is left. A used-up budget ends the reply with an error instead of calling the model, and the server logs which one.
+
+The per-IP budget needs the visitor's IP, so it's skipped for requests where the adapter can't tell.
+
+For persistent conversations, custom stores, Postgres, Redis, and the storage capabilities available to the server, see [the storage page](/server/storage/).

-```
-Content-Type: text/event-stream
+The server answers in one of two formats. The widget from 0.6 on sends `"protocol": 1` in the request body and gets protocol v1. Requests without it, from widgets before 0.6 or older custom clients, get the 0.5 format, which keeps working until 1.0. A client can also ask for v1 with an `x-chatcops-protocol: 1` header. The server logs one line the first time it answers in the 0.5 format, so you can tell when old widgets are still around. `chatcopsAiSdkHandler` answers in a third format, the AI SDK's, for apps built on `useChat` (see [AI SDK](/server/ai-sdk/)).
 
+The server writes one reply per conversation at a time, so a second message sent while a reply is streaming is refused instead of answering the same history twice. The widget doesn't let visitors send while a reply streams, so this only shows up with custom clients.
+
+Each reply is saved as one assistant message with its parts: the text, and every tool call and result in order. It's saved after each tool round, so a reply cut off partway still has the finished tool steps. A retry of a message that already has a finished reply gets that reply again, without calling the model.
+
+### Protocol v1
+
+Protocol v1 is the default stream format for modern ChatCops clients. Replies stream as typed Server-Sent Events (SSE) carrying granular event parts, with pre-stream refusals returned as JSON with standard HTTP error statuses.
+
+For the full specification covering format negotiation, request fields, SSE framing, all 13 wire part variants, and HTTP error mappings, see the [Protocol Reference](/server/protocol/).
+
+### The 0.5 format

+title: Storage
+description: Persist conversations and coordinate ChatCops across instances with a server-side storage provider.
+---
+
+The server uses storage for conversation history and, when the configured store provides the capability, counters, turn locks, and analytics events.
+
+By default, conversations are kept in memory for one server process. The memory store holds up to 1000 conversations, evicting the least recently used first, and drops conversations that have been idle for 7 days. That is useful for local development, but it is not reliable for Vercel, Lambda, Workers, or any multi-instance deployment: instances do not share memory, and a restart removes the data. Use a persistent store when conversations must survive restarts or be available to every instance.
+
+## Postgres
+
+The Postgres store is provided by `@chatcops/store-postgres`. It is currently private and will ship with the next release, so install it alongside the server package when that release is available:
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/server @chatcops/store-postgres pg
+```
+
+Create a `pg` client, run the store migration once, and pass the resulting store through the `storage` option:
+
+```typescript
+import { Pool } from 'pg';
+import { chatcopsMiddleware } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { migrate, postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const db = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL });
+
+await migrate(db);
+
+const storage = postgresStorage({ db, tablePrefix: 'chatcops_' });
+
+const handler = chatcopsMiddleware({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful customer support assistant.',
+  storage,
+});
+```
+
+`tablePrefix` is optional and is useful when several applications share one database. Pass the same prefix to `migrate` and `postgresStorage`, and run migrations before the server handles traffic. Migrations are safe to run on every deploy because already-applied migrations are skipped:
+
+```typescript
+await migrate(db, { tablePrefix: 'chatcops_' });
+```
+
+### Neon
+
+For Neon, use the adapter exported by the Postgres store with Neon's serverless SQL client:
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/server @chatcops/store-postgres @neondatabase/serverless
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { neon } from '@neondatabase/serverless';
+import { chatcopsMiddleware } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { fromNeon, migrate, postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const db = fromNeon(neon(process.env.DATABASE_URL!));
+
+await migrate(db);
+
+const storage = postgresStorage({ db, tablePrefix: 'chatcops_' });
+
+const handler = chatcopsMiddleware({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful customer support assistant.',
+  storage,
+});
+```
+
+## Redis
+
+The Redis store is provided by `@chatcops/store-redis`. It is currently private and will ship with the next release. The package supports both Upstash and `ioredis` clients and implements conversations, counters, KV locks, and events.
+
+### Upstash
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/server @chatcops/store-redis @upstash/redis
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis';
+import { chatcopsMiddleware } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { redisStorage } from '@chatcops/store-redis';
+
+const redis = Redis.fromEnv();
+const storage = redisStorage({
+  redis,
+  prefix: 'chatcops',
+  conversationTtlMs: 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
+});
+
+const handler = chatcopsMiddleware({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful customer support assistant.',
+  storage,
+});
+```
+
+### ioredis
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/server @chatcops/store-redis ioredis
+```
+
+```typescript
+import Redis from 'ioredis';
+import { chatcopsMiddleware } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { fromIoRedis, redisStorage } from '@chatcops/store-redis';
+
+const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);
+const storage = redisStorage({
+  redis: fromIoRedis(redis),
+  prefix: 'chatcops',
+});
+
+const handler = chatcopsMiddleware({
+  provider: {
+    type: 'claude',
+    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful customer support assistant.',
+  storage,
+});
+```
+
+## Coming soon
+
+- SQLite for single-server deployments ([#247](https://github.com/codercops/chatcops/issues/247)).
+- Cloudflare storage for D1, KV, and Durable Objects counters ([#249](https://github.com/codercops/chatcops/issues/249)).
+
+## Custom stores
+
+The server accepts a custom conversation store through `storage`:
+
+```typescript
+import type { Conversation, ConversationStore } from '@chatcops/core';
+
+const myStore: ConversationStore = {
+  async get(id: string): Promise<Conversation | null> {
+    // Read the conversation from your database.
+    return null;
+  },
+  async save(conversation: Conversation): Promise<void> {
+    // Persist the complete conversation.
+  },
+  async delete(id: string): Promise<void> {
+    // Delete the conversation.
+  },
+};
+
+const handler = chatcopsMiddleware({
+  // ...provider and systemPrompt
+  storage: { conversations: myStore },
+});
+```
+
+A store with only `get`, `save`, and `delete` works, but the server logs one warning at startup. In that mode, each write saves the complete conversation, so two instances writing the same conversation concurrently can overwrite one another and lose a message.
+
+Implement `append` when the backing system can perform an atomic append. The server uses it to make concurrent writes safe across instances. `updateMessage`, `removeMessage`, `list`, and `purge` are optional capabilities; implement them when the application needs those operations.
+
+The history sent to the model is trimmed to about 32,000 tokens: the visitor's first message plus as many recent ones as fit. Stored history keeps up to 100 messages per conversation.
+
+The complete interface is defined by [`ConversationStore`](https://github.com/codercops/chatcops/blob/dev/packages/core/src/storage/types.ts). The broader `ChatCopsStorage` object can also provide optional counter, KV, and event stores for distributed rate limits, turn locks, and analytics.
+
+## Retention
+
+The handler exposes `purge()` for retention cleanup. `retention.conversationsDays` defaults to 30 days. Call `purge()` from a scheduled job or deploy task; it returns the number of deleted conversations, or `null` when the store can't purge:
+
+```typescript
+import { createChatHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+
+const handler = createChatHandler({
+  // ...provider and systemPrompt
+  storage,
+  retention: { conversationsDays: 30 },
+});
+
+const deleted = await handler.purge();
+if (typeof deleted === 'number') {
+  console.log(`Purged ${deleted} old conversations`);
+}
+```
+
+`purge()` returns `null` only when a custom conversation store does not implement the optional `purge` capability, such as a custom store with only `get`, `save`, and `delete`. The built-in memory, SQLite, Postgres, and Redis stores all implement `purge()`.
+
+### Express / Node.js
+
+Use [`node-cron`](https://github.com/node-cron/node-cron) to call `purge()` on a schedule from the same process as your Express server:
+
+```bash
+npm install node-cron pg @types/pg
+```
+
+```typescript
+import express from 'express';
+import cron from 'node-cron';
+import { Pool } from 'pg';
+import { chatcopsMiddleware, createChatHandler, type ChatCopsServerConfig } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const db = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL });
+const storage = postgresStorage({ db });
+
+const config: ChatCopsServerConfig = {
+  provider: { type: 'claude', apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! },
+  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
+  storage,
+  retention: { conversationsDays: 30 },
+};
+
+const handler = createChatHandler(config);
+
+const app = express();
+app.use(express.json());
+app.use('/api/chat', chatcopsMiddleware(config));
+
+// Run at 03:00 every day.
+cron.schedule('0 3 * * *', async () => {
+  try {
+    const deleted = await handler.purge();
+    if (typeof deleted === 'number') {
+      console.log(`[chatcops] Purged ${deleted} old conversations`);
+    } else {
+      console.warn('[chatcops] purge() returned null: store does not support purge');
+    }
+  } catch (err) {
+    console.error('[chatcops] Scheduled purge failed:', err);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+Alternatively, keep the purge logic in a standalone script and invoke it from an external scheduler (systemd timer, AWS EventBridge, GitHub Actions cron, etc.). Run database migrations separately as part of your deployment, not on every cleanup run:
+
+```typescript
+// scripts/purge.ts
+import { createChatHandler } from '@chatcops/server';
+import { Pool } from 'pg';
+import { postgresStorage } from '@chatcops/store-postgres';
+
+const db = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL });
+
+try {
+  const handler = createChatHandler({
+    provider: { type: 'claude', apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! },
+    systemPrompt: '',
+    storage: postgresStorage({ db }),
+    retention: { conversationsDays: 30 },
+  });
+
+  const deleted = await handler.purge();
+  if (typeof deleted === 'number') {
+    console.log(`Purged ${deleted} old conversations`);
+  } else {
+    console.warn('purge() returned null: store does not support purge');
+  }
+} catch (err) {
+  console.error('Purge failed:', err);
+  process.exitCode = 1;
+} finally {
+  await db.end();
+}
+```
+
+Run it with `tsx`:
+
+```bash
+npx tsx scripts/purge.ts
+```
+
+### Vercel Cron Jobs
+
+Vercel Cron Jobs call an API route on a schedule. Create a route that runs `purge()` and protect it with a shared secret so only Vercel's cron runner can trigger it:
+
+```typescript
+// app/api/purge/route.ts  (Next.js App Router)
+import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
+// Import the createChatHandler instance from your application module.
+// Replace '@/lib/chatcops' with the actual path where your handler is created,
+// configured with the same storage and retention settings as your chat route.
+import { handler } from '@/lib/chatcops';
+
+export const runtime = 'nodejs';
+
+export async function GET(req: NextRequest) {
+  const secret = process.env.CRON_SECRET;
+  if (!secret) {
+    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'CRON_SECRET is not configured' }, { status: 500 });
+  }
+  const auth = req.headers.get('authorization');
+  if (auth !== `Bearer ${secret}`) {
+    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 });
+  }
+
+  try {
+    const deleted = await handler.purge();
+    if (typeof deleted === 'number') {
+      return NextResponse.json({ deleted });
+    }
+    return NextResponse.json({ deleted: null, message: 'Store does not support purge' });
+  } catch (err) {
+    console.error('[chatcops] Purge failed:', err);
+    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Purge failed' }, { status: 500 });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Register the cron trigger in `vercel.json`. The path must match the route above:
+
+```json
+{
+  "crons": [
+    {
+      "path": "/api/purge",
+      "schedule": "0 3 * * *"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Vercel automatically sends an `Authorization: Bearer <CRON_SECRET>` header when it invokes the route. Set `CRON_SECRET` in your Vercel project's environment variables. The route rejects any caller whose header doesn't match, and returns 500 when the secret is not configured at all.
+
+:::note
+Vercel Cron Jobs are available on all plans. On the Hobby plan, each cron job is limited to running at most once per day, which is sufficient for daily retention cleanup.
+:::
+
+### Cloudflare Workers
+
+Add a `scheduled` export to your Worker. Cloudflare calls it on the cron triggers you define in `wrangler.toml`.
+
+This example uses [`@chatcops/store-redis`](/server/storage/#redis) with Upstash's HTTP-based Redis client because it runs directly in Workers over HTTP without extra database-connection setup:
+
+```bash
+npm install @chatcops/store-redis @upstash/redis

+          }
+        })
+        .catch((err) => {
+          console.error('[chatcops] Scheduled purge failed:', err);
+        })
+    );
+  },
+};
+```
+
+Register the cron trigger in `wrangler.toml`:
+
+```toml
+name = "chatcops-worker"
+main = "src/index.ts"
+compatibility_date = "2024-01-01"
+
+[triggers]
+crons = ["0 3 * * *"]
+```
+
+When using a custom conversation store, the store must implement `ConversationStore.purge` for scheduled cleanup to work. `purge()` returns `null` when the store does not implement it, making scheduled cleanup a no-op.
+
+:::note
+The in-memory store implements `purge()`, but each process or Worker instance only purges its own in-memory data. Scheduled cleanup is most useful when the application uses shared, persistent storage.

+title: Pre-chat Form
+description: Collect visitor details before their first ChatCops message.
+---
+
+The pre-chat form collects information such as a visitor's name, email, or reason for contacting you before the conversation begins. Configure it in JavaScript with `ChatCops.init()`:
+
+```typescript
+import ChatCops from '@chatcops/widget';
+
+ChatCops.init({
+  apiUrl: 'https://your-api.com/chat',
+  preChatForm: {
+    enabled: true,
+    title: 'Before we start...',
+    subtitle: 'Tell us a bit about yourself',
+    submitLabel: 'Start chat',
+    fields: [
+      { name: 'name', type: 'text', label: 'Name', placeholder: 'Your name', required: true },
+      { name: 'email', type: 'email', label: 'Email', placeholder: 'you@example.com' },
+      {
+        name: 'topic',
+        type: 'select',
+        label: 'What can we help with?',
+        options: ['Sales', 'Support', 'Billing'],
+      },
+      { name: 'message', type: 'textarea', label: 'Message', placeholder: 'How can we help?' },
+    ],
+  },
+  onPreChatSubmit(data) {
+    console.log('Pre-chat answers:', data);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The form appears when there is no saved conversation with messages and the visitor has not already submitted the form during the current browser session. After submission, the widget switches to the chat view. If a field is named `name`, its answer personalizes the welcome message. If a field is named `message`, its answer is sent as the conversation's first chat message immediately after submission.
+
+## Form options
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `enabled` | `boolean` | Required. Set to `true` to show the form before the conversation starts. |
+| `title` | `string` | Optional heading above the fields. |
+| `subtitle` | `string` | Optional supporting text below the heading. |
+| `submitLabel` | `string` | Optional text for the submit button. |
+| `fields` | `PreChatField[]` | Fields to show, in display order. Each field has the options below. |
+
+### Field options
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `name` | `string` | Required key for the answer. Use `name` to personalize the welcome message or `message` to start the chat with the visitor's answer. |
+| `type` | `'text' \| 'email' \| 'select' \| 'textarea'` | Required input type. Email fields are checked for a valid email format. |
+| `label` | `string` | Required text label displayed above the field. |
+| `placeholder` | `string` | Optional placeholder. For a select, this replaces the default prompt. If omitted, the select prompt comes from `strings.selectPlaceholder` (English default: `Select {label}...`). |
+| `required` | `boolean` | Optional. When `true`, the visitor must enter or select a non-empty value before submitting. Defaults to `false`. |
+| `options` | `string[]` | Optional choices for a `select` field. |
+
+Required fields are checked for non-empty values, and non-empty `email` fields are checked for email format. Invalid fields show an error and the form stays open until corrected. Values are trimmed before they are submitted.
+
+## What happens to answers
+
+The widget includes the answers as `userData` on the next chat request. If that request fails, it sends the answers again with the retry. The server accepts at most 50 fields, with field names up to 100 characters and values up to 500 characters.
+
+The server saves the answers with the conversation's first message and uses those saved answers for the rest of the conversation; later requests cannot replace them. Configure the server's [`preChatFields` allowlist](/server/setup#chatcopsserverconfig) to keep only the fields your server needs.
+
+## Submission callback and event
+
+Use `onPreChatSubmit` in the widget config to receive the submitted answers in your application:
+
+```typescript
+ChatCops.init({
+  apiUrl: 'https://your-api.com/chat',
+  preChatForm: { enabled: true, fields: [{ name: 'email', type: 'email', label: 'Email' }] },
+  onPreChatSubmit(data) {
+    analytics.track('pre_chat_submitted', data);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The widget also emits a `preChatSubmit` event with the same `Record<string, string>` payload. Subscribe with [`ChatCops.on()`](/widget/events#prechatsubmit):
+
+```typescript
+ChatCops.on('preChatSubmit', (data) => {
+  console.log('Pre-chat form submitted:', data);
+});
+```
+
+Pre-chat forms can only be configured through JavaScript. There are no `data-*` attributes for `preChatForm` or its callbacks.
