Fixes status bar ghosting in the interactive CLI. The agent runs with quiet_mode=True and tool_progress_callback set simultaneously - quiet_mode triggered KawaiiSpinner for every tool call, but the TUI spinner widget already handled display via the callback. The KawaiiSpinner writes carriage-return animation through StdoutProxy, triggering run_in_terminal() erase/redraw cycles that cause the status bar to ghost into scrollback. Adds the same guard already used by the thinking spinner to the three tool spinner sites.

… session:end event

The hooks page only documented gateway event hooks (HOOK.yaml system).
The plugins page listed plugin hooks (pre_tool_call, etc.) that weren't
referenced from the hooks page, which was confusing.

Changes:
- hooks.md: Add overview table showing both hook systems
- hooks.md: Add Plugin Hooks section with available hooks, callback
  signatures, and example
- hooks.md: Add missing session:end gateway event (emitted but undocumented)
- hooks.md: Mark pre_llm_call, post_llm_call, on_session_start,
  on_session_end as planned (defined in VALID_HOOKS but not yet invoked)
- hooks.md: Update info box to cross-reference plugin hooks
- hooks.md: Fix heading hierarchy (gateway content as subsections)
- plugins.md: Add cross-reference to hooks page for full details
- plugins.md: Mark planned hooks as (planned)
When session_search is called without a query (or with an empty query),
it now returns metadata for the most recent sessions instead of erroring.
This lets the agent quickly see what was worked on recently without
needing specific keywords.

Returns for each session: session_id, title, source, started_at,
last_active, message_count, preview (first user message).
Zero LLM cost — pure DB query. Current session lineage and child
delegation sessions are excluded.

The agent can then keyword-search specific sessions if it needs
deeper context from any of them.

- target_ratio: 0.40 → 0.20, now relative to threshold not total context
  (20% of 50% = 10% of context as tail budget)
- summary ceiling: 32K → 12K (Gemini can't output more than ~12K)
- Updated DEFAULT_CONFIG, config display, example config, and tests

* fix: browser_vision ignores auxiliary.vision.timeout config

browser_vision called call_llm() without passing a timeout parameter,
so it always used the 30-second default in auxiliary_client.py. This
made vision analysis with local models (llama.cpp, ollama) impossible
since they typically need more than 30s for screenshot analysis.

Now browser_vision reads auxiliary.vision.timeout from config.yaml
(same config key that vision_analyze already uses) and passes it
through to call_llm().

Also bumped the default vision timeout from 30s to 120s in both
browser_vision and vision_analyze — 30s is too aggressive for local
models and the previous default silently failed for anyone running
vision locally.

Fixes user report from GamerGB1988.
…ed community content

_resolve_trust_level() didn't handle 'agent-created' source, so it
fell through to 'community' trust level. Community policy blocks on
any caution or dangerous findings, which meant common patterns like
curl with env vars, systemctl, crontab, cloudflared references etc.
would block skill creation/patching.

The agent-created policy row already existed in INSTALL_POLICY with
permissive settings (allow caution, ask on dangerous) but was never
reached. Now it is.

Fixes reports of skill_manage being blocked by security scanner.
… partial lines

Updated the reasoning output mechanism to emit complete lines and force-flush long partial lines, ensuring reasoning is visible in real-time even without newlines. This improves user experience during reasoning sessions.
In the interactive CLI, the agent runs with quiet_mode=True and
tool_progress_callback set. The quiet_mode condition triggered
KawaiiSpinner for every tool call, but the TUI was already handling
progress display via the spinner widget.

The KawaiiSpinner writes carriage-return animation through StdoutProxy,
triggering run_in_terminal() erase/redraw cycles on every flush. These
redundant cycles cause the status bar to ghost into terminal scrollback.

The thinking spinner already had this guard (checks thinking_callback).
This extends the same pattern to the three tool spinner creation sites:
concurrent tools, delegate_task, and single tool execution.
