Standardize multi-action tools around tool_args.action while keeping parser compatibility for older tool/args, tool_name:action, and method-shaped requests. This keeps new prompts clean without breaking agents that learned the previous dialect.
Move A0 connector remote execution/file tools into stable standard prompts, make remote targeting independent of the active chat context, and skill-gate beta computer-use remote so it no longer weighs down the always-on tool list.
Align text editor, scheduler, skills, office artifact, memory, notify, and browser prompts/tools around the canonical action contract. Add scheduler update/timezone handling, skills_tool read_file, text editor patch coverage, and fixes for memory_forget, behaviour_adjustment, and code execution progress warnings.
Reduce default prompt pressure by compacting browser and scheduler prompts into skill-backed manifests, shortening skill catalog descriptions, and pruning noisy framework knowledge. Remove obsolete connector prompt stubs and root tool-call knowledge examples.

Introduces patch_text editing for the Docker-local text_editor, sharing request validation and freshness-state logic with text_editor_remote while preserving legacy line-number edits. Adds anchored context patching, safer state handling after context edits, updated model guidance, live remote wrapper reuse, and focused regression coverage for chained patches and Python replacement cases.
Move the heavy remote-tool operating guidance out of the always-on tool prompts
and inject it only when the current context can actually use those tools.
- add extras prompts for computer_use_remote, code_execution_remote, and text_editor_remote
- trim the base tool prompts down to the stable contract and minimal notes
- inject detailed guidance from message-loop extensions instead of always paying the token cost
- store remote_files and remote_exec hello metadata alongside computer_use metadata
- make code_execution_remote follow the real F4 exec-enabled state
- make text_editor_remote follow the real F3 read-only vs read-write state
- surface read-only mode in the injected text-editor guidance and suppress write guidance there
- keep legacy fallback behavior for older CLIs that do not yet advertise the new hello metadata
Introduce the builtin `_a0_connector` plugin that lets the host-side
A0 CLI connect to Agent Zero over authenticated HTTP and `/ws`.
This adds connector capability discovery, chat/context lifecycle
endpoints, log streaming, and the remote text editing, code execution,
and file tree bridge used by the CLI workflow.
