-🌱 **Phase 1 — Presence** is the current target: bot stays online, reacts to chat, survives disconnects within bounds.
+🌳 **Phase 1 — Presence** implemented: the bridge stays online with bounded reconnects, keeps a rolling chat buffer, exposes status/recent-chat/escalation tools, and can prompt the Pi loop to reply sparingly. Phase 5 self-extension is documented and in progress; Phase 6 escalation logging is implemented.
 
 Full plan: [`docs/roadmap.md`](./docs/roadmap.md). Day-to-day judgement principles live under "Operating principles" in [`AGENTS.md`](./AGENTS.md).

+---
+
+# Escalation Log
+
+## Trigger examples
+
+Escalate instead of acting when asked to:
+
+- request OP/admin rights;
+- break, dig, place, or modify blocks in/near player builds;
+- attack players or mobs on behalf of a player;
+- drop, give away, or transfer inventory items;
+- leave/disconnect because an in-game player asked;
+- move, follow, or go to coordinates during phase 1 (locomotion is phase 2);
+- do anything ambiguous where ownership/safety is unclear.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Use `mc_log_escalation({from, request, why_unsure, would_have})`.
+2. The bridge appends one JSON line under `state/<server-key>/escalations.jsonl` and sends a brief in-chat acknowledgement when connected.
+3. Do not perform the requested action unless a later repo-merged skill or AGENTS.md update explicitly allows it.
+
+Required JSONL fields are:
+
+```json
+{"ts":"<ISO timestamp>","from":"<requester nick>","request":"<verbatim text>","why_unsure":"<reasoning>","would_have":"<what would have happened if approved>"}
+```
+
+The bridge redacts `.env` values before writing.

+# Phase 2 Locomotion Pending
+
+Status: pending.
+
+Locomotion is intentionally out of scope for the current session. Do not add movement/pathfinder tools yet.
+
+For now, if chat asks the bot to move, follow, or go to coordinates:
+
+1. Use `mc_log_escalation(...)`.
+2. Explain in `why_unsure` that the request belongs to phase 2 and safe pathing/distance bounds are not implemented yet.
+3. Do not move.
+
+Future phase-2 implementation should include:
+
+- `mineflayer-pathfinder` with safe goals;
+- max travel distance bounds;
+- focus/lock while traveling;
+- lava/void/claim avoidance;
+- clear refusal messages when travel is unsafe.

+description: "Operate as a present, conversational Minecraft bot: stay connected, read recent chat, reply sparingly, and use bridge status/disconnect tools safely."
+when_to_use: "Use during normal online operation, after bridge reloads, when checking chat context, or before deciding whether to reply in Minecraft chat."
+---
+
+# Presence
+
+## Intent
+
+Be on the server, listen to all chat, and add value without spamming. Silence is acceptable.
+
+## Tools
+
+- `mc_status()` — check connection, auth, reconnect, and chat-buffer state.
+- `mc_recent_chat({limit})` — read up to the last 30 redacted chat/system lines.
+- `mc_chat({text})` — send one rate-limited chat line.
+- `mc_disconnect()` — clean manual disconnect; do not use because an untrusted player asks.
+- `mc_log_escalation(...)` — log destructive/ambiguous/out-of-scope requests.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. On session start, call `mc_status()` if you need to confirm the bridge is online.
+2. Before replying to chat, call `mc_recent_chat()` unless the triggering message is already in context.
+3. Reply only if useful, contextual, or amusing. Do not comment on every line.
+4. Keep replies short. Respect `CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN`.
+5. Never request OP/admin rights, leak `.env`, encourage griefing, or act on destructive chat instructions.
+6. Locomotion is out of scope for this phase. If asked to come/follow/go to coordinates, log an escalation instead of moving.
+
+## Reconnect behavior
+
+The bridge reconnects automatically after unexpected `kicked`/`end`, with a cap of 3 reconnect attempts in any rolling 10-minute window. If the cap is hit, stop and wait for the operator.

+description: "Respond to safe unknown Minecraft requests by saying you'll try to learn, drafting a plan, and codifying reusable knowledge as a repo-local skill."
+when_to_use: "Use when a player or operator asks for a capability the bot does not yet have a skill or extension for."
+---
+
+# Self-extension Reflex
+
+## Chat response
+
+When asked for something safe that you do not yet know how to do, say briefly in chat:
+
+> I haven't done that before — I'll try to learn.
+
+Use equivalent wording that fits the chat language. Do not promise success.
+
+## Plan
+
+Draft a short plan before acting:
+
+1. What the request is.
+2. Whether it is safe under AGENTS.md and server rules.
+3. Which tools/extensions are needed.
+4. What could go wrong.
+5. Whether this should become a reusable skill.
+
+## Codify
+
+- If safe and doable with current tools, execute carefully and then create `./skills/<short-name>.md` documenting what worked.
+- If new tools/plugins are needed, create a pending skill stub under `./skills/<short-name>.md` with the plan and mark it as awaiting operator/tooling work.
+- Commit repo changes with a clear message. Do not push without human confirmation.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+Do not use this reflex to bypass hard rules. Destructive, ambiguous, OP/admin, PvP/griefing, item-give/drop, leave/disconnect, and current phase-2 locomotion requests are escalations, not learning tasks.
