 All notable changes to Chat Switchboard.

+## [0.17.0] — 2026-02-27
+
+### Added
+- **Persona-KB binding.** Personas can now have knowledge bases directly
+  bound to them. When a user selects a persona with bound KBs, the
+  `kb_search` tool is automatically scoped to those KBs and the persona's
+  system prompt includes a KB listing hint. Admin and team admin preset
+  forms include a KB picker with per-KB auto-search toggles.
+  Migration adds `persona_knowledge_bases` join table.
+- **Enterprise KB mode.** New `discoverable` flag on knowledge bases
+  controls whether users can see and attach KBs directly. When
+  `kb_direct_access` platform policy is set to `true`, users cannot
+  attach KBs to channels directly — they access KBs exclusively through
+  persona bindings curated by admins. New `ListDiscoverableKBs` and
+  `SetDiscoverable` endpoints.
+- **Role fallback alerts (issue #69).** When a role's primary provider
+  fails and the fallback activates, the resolver emits a `role.fallback`
+  event on the EventBus with audit log entry. Admin users see a persistent
+  dismissable banner. 5-minute per-role cooldown prevents flooding.
+- **Chat rename.** Double-click any chat title in the sidebar to edit
+  inline. Enter saves, Escape cancels.
+- **Utility model auto-naming.** After the first assistant response,
+  a background request to the utility role generates a concise title.
+  Falls back to truncation when no utility model is configured.
+  New endpoint: `POST /channels/:id/generate-title`.
+- **Chat token count.** Conversation token estimate shown in the model
+  bar, color-coded against context budget.
+- **State restore on refresh.** Active chat ID persisted to
+  `sessionStorage`, auto-restored on page reload.
+
+### Fixed
+- **ResolvePreset group access bypass.** `ResolvePreset()` used raw SQL
+  that skipped `resource_grants` checks from v0.16.0. Now uses
+  `PersonaStore.UserCanAccess()`.
+- **KB create scope authorization.** Now enforces admin role for global
+  KBs and team admin role for team KBs.
+- **Completion handler persona ID scoping.** `personaID` variable scoped
+  inside an `if` block but referenced downstream. Fixed by threading
+  through function signatures.
+- **Nil slice JSON marshaling.** `ListDiscoverableKBs` returns `[]`
+  instead of `null` when no KBs match.
+
+### Changed
+- `UpdateDocumentStorageKey` moved from raw `ExecContext` to store method.
+- EventBus route table: `role.fallback` → `DirToClient`.
+- Resolver gains `.WithBus(bus)` builder (nil-safe, backwards compatible).
+- Service worker: `/extensions/` excluded from fetch handler.
+- Mermaid renderer v2.0 (pan/zoom, export) promoted to builtin.
+- Removed DIAG diagnostics from `TestGroupBasedPersonaAccess`.
+- Paste-to-file threshold synced from backend `PublicSettings`
+  (`storage.paste_to_file_chars`, admin-configurable, default 2000).
+  Resolves hardcoded constant in `attachments.js`.
+- Embedding dropdown already had tolerant type filter, manual model ID
+  fallback, and auto-switch on empty — confirmed complete, checkbox updated.

+# DESIGN-0.17.0 — Persona-KB Binding + Enterprise KB Mode
+
+## Overview
+
+Personas become **gateways** to knowledge. In enterprise deployments,
+users don't interact with KBs directly — they talk to Personas that
+have KBs attached. This is the core differentiator for enterprise use.
+
+Depends on: knowledge bases (v0.14.0), user groups (v0.16.0).
+
+**Design principle: Personas carry context, not users.** When a user
+selects a Persona with bound KBs, the KB context flows automatically —
+no manual KB selection, no toggle management, no confusion about which
+KBs are in scope. Admins curate the KB↔Persona relationships; users
+just pick a Persona.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Schema
+
+### `persona_knowledge_bases` (new join table)
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE persona_knowledge_bases (
+    persona_id  UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES personas(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    kb_id       UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES knowledge_bases(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    auto_search BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT false,
+    created_at  TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+    PRIMARY KEY (persona_id, kb_id)
+);
+```
+
+`auto_search` controls whether the KB is searched automatically on every
+message (top-K results prepended to context) or only via explicit
+`kb_search` tool calls. Default `false` = tool-only.
+
+### `knowledge_bases.discoverable` (new column)
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE knowledge_bases ADD COLUMN discoverable BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true;
+```
+
+When `false`, the KB does not appear in user-facing listings
+(`ListDiscoverableKBs`). It remains searchable through Persona bindings.
+
+### `platform_policies.kb_direct_access` (new row)
+
+Seeded as `'true'` (permissive default). When set to `'false'`, the
+channel KB popup is hidden — users access KBs exclusively through
+Persona bindings.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Store Layer
+
+### `PersonaStore` additions
+
+- `SetKBs(ctx, personaID, kbIDs, autoSearch)` — UPSERT join table
+- `GetKBs(ctx, personaID)` — returns `[]PersonaKB` with KB metadata
+
+### `KnowledgeBaseStore` additions
+
+- `ListDiscoverable(ctx, userID, teamIDs)` — KBs where `discoverable=true`
+  and user has access via ownership, team, or global scope
+- `SetDiscoverable(ctx, kbID, discoverable)` — toggle visibility
+- `UpdateDocumentStorageKey(ctx, docID, key)` — moved from raw SQL
+
+---
+
+## 3. Completion Pipeline
+
+### KB scoping in `BuildKBHint`
+
+When a Persona has bound KBs, `BuildKBHint` merges them with any
+channel-attached KBs:
+
+1. Load channel KBs (existing path)
+2. Load Persona KBs via `PersonaStore.GetKBs()`
+3. Union the two sets (deduplicated by KB ID)
+4. Build the hint string with listing
+
+### Persona ID threading
+
+The `personaID` is threaded through the completion handler methods:
+`Complete()` → `streamCompletion(…, personaID)` / `syncCompletion(…, personaID)`
+→ `loadConversation(…, personaID)`.
+
+The `ExecutionContext` for tool calls carries the Persona ID so
+`kb_search` can auto-include Persona-bound KBs in its search scope.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Role Fallback Alerts (issue #69)
+
+When a role's primary provider fails:
+
+1. **Attempt fallback** — existing behavior, unchanged.
+2. **Emit event** — `role.fallback` on EventBus (DirToClient).
+3. **Cooldown** — 5-minute per-role TTL prevents flooding.
+4. **Admin toast** — frontend listens for `role.fallback` events,
+   shows warning/error toast to admin users only.
+
+### Resolver changes
+
+```go
+type Resolver struct {
+    stores   store.Stores
+    vault    *crypto.KeyResolver
+    bus      *events.Bus
+    mu       sync.Mutex
+    cooldown map[string]time.Time // role → last alert time
+}
+```
+
+`WithBus(bus)` builder method. Nil-safe — if no bus is attached,
+alerts are suppressed (log only).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Security Fixes
+
+### ResolvePreset bypass
+
+`ResolvePreset()` in `presets.go` used raw SQL that skipped the
+`resource_grants` table added in v0.16.0. A Persona accessible only
+via group grant would fail at completion time. Fixed to use
+`PersonaStore.GetByID()` + `UserCanAccess()`.
+
+### KB create scope authorization
+
+`POST /api/v1/knowledge-bases` now enforces:
+- `scope=global` → requires admin role
+- `scope=team` → requires team admin role for the target team
+- `scope=personal` → open to all authenticated users
+
+---
+
+## 6. Frontend
+
+### KB Picker (`persona-kb.js`)
+
+Standalone component: `renderPersonaKBPicker(container, opts)` → control
+object with `getValues()`, `setValues()`, `clear()`, `refresh()`.
+
+Options: `scope` ('admin'|'team'|'personal'), `teamId`, `prefix`.
+
+Shows checkboxes for available KBs with doc/chunk counts. Selected KBs
+show an "Auto-inject" toggle for the `auto_search` flag.
+
+### Integration points
+
+- Admin preset form: KB picker below the form, load/save bindings on
+  edit/create via `/api/v1/admin/presets/:id/knowledge-bases`.
+- Team preset form: same pattern via team API prefix.
+- User preset form: shows discoverable KBs only.
+- Admin settings: `kb_direct_access` toggle checkbox.
+
+### Fallback alert
+
+Admin users receive `UI.toast()` notifications when `role.fallback`
+events arrive via WebSocket.
+
+---
+
+## 7. API Endpoints (new)
+
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| GET    | `/api/v1/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | List KBs bound to a persona |
+| PUT    | `/api/v1/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | Set persona-KB bindings |
+| GET    | `/api/v1/admin/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | Admin: list persona KBs |
+| PUT    | `/api/v1/admin/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | Admin: set persona-KB bindings |
+| GET    | `/api/v1/knowledge-bases-discoverable` | List discoverable KBs for user |
+| PUT    | `/api/v1/knowledge-bases/:id/discoverable` | Toggle KB discoverability |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Migration
+
+Single migration file: `002_v017_persona_kb.sql`
+
+- Creates `persona_knowledge_bases` table
+- Adds `discoverable` column to `knowledge_bases`
+- Seeds `kb_direct_access` platform policy (default `'true'`)

+# DESIGN: CodeMirror 6 Integration
+
+**Version:** v0.18.0 (or fits into current cycle)
+**Status:** Draft
+**Scope:** Add CM6 as a vendored dependency, bundled at Docker build time via esbuild. Three integration surfaces.
+
+---
+
+## Motivation
+
+Three features converge on the same dependency:
+
+1. **Chat input** — live markdown rendering (backtick → code block, bold, etc.)
+2. **Extension editor** — syntax-highlighted JavaScript/JSON editing in admin panel (replaces bare `<textarea>`)
+3. **Code editing surface** (roadmap) — future extension surface type for code review, snippets, etc.
+
+CM6 is ESM-native and expects a bundler. The build step is contained in the Docker image build — the frontend continues to ship as static assets served by nginx. No runtime build tooling, no change to the developer experience for non-CM6 code.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Build Pipeline
+
+New Docker stage between the existing `vendor` stage and the final `nginx` stage:
+
+```
+Stage 1: vendor       (existing — marked, purify, mermaid, katex)
+Stage 2: cm6-build    (NEW — npm install + esbuild → single IIFE bundle)
+Stage 3: nginx        (existing — copies src/ + vendor/ + cm6 bundle)
+```
+
+The CM6 build stage:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:20-alpine AS cm6-build
+WORKDIR /build
+COPY src/editor/package.json src/editor/build.mjs ./
+RUN npm install --production=false
+RUN node build.mjs
+# Output: /build/dist/codemirror.bundle.js (~180-250KB minified)
+#         /build/dist/codemirror.bundle.css (~5-10KB)
+```
+
+Final stage addition:
+
+```dockerfile
+COPY --from=cm6-build /build/dist/ /usr/share/nginx/html/vendor/codemirror/
+```
+
+### Bundle Structure
+
+A single esbuild entrypoint (`src/editor/index.mjs`) that imports CM6 packages and exposes factory functions on `window.CM`:
+
+```javascript
+// src/editor/index.mjs — esbuild entrypoint
+import { EditorView, keymap, placeholder, ViewPlugin, ... } from '@codemirror/view';
+import { EditorState, ... } from '@codemirror/state';
+import { markdown, markdownLanguage } from '@codemirror/lang-markdown';
+import { javascript } from '@codemirror/lang-javascript';
+import { json } from '@codemirror/lang-json';
+import { sql } from '@codemirror/lang-sql';
+import { html } from '@codemirror/lang-html';
+import { css } from '@codemirror/lang-css';
+import { yaml } from '@codemirror/lang-yaml';
+import { go } from '@codemirror/lang-go';
+import { python } from '@codemirror/lang-python';
+import { rust } from '@codemirror/lang-rust';
+import { oneDark } from '@codemirror/theme-one-dark';
+import { defaultKeymap, indentWithTab } from '@codemirror/commands';
+import { bracketMatching, ... } from '@codemirror/language';
+import { highlightSelectionMatches, searchKeymap } from '@codemirror/search';
+import { autocompletion } from '@codemirror/autocomplete';
+import { vim } from '@replit/codemirror-vim';
+import { emacs } from '@replit/codemirror-emacs';
+
+// Expose on window for script-tag consumption
+window.CM = {
+    EditorView,
+    EditorState,
+
+    // Factory: chat input (markdown mode, minimal chrome)
+    chatInput(target, opts = {}) { ... },
+
+    // Factory: code editor (full features, language auto-detect)
+    codeEditor(target, opts = {}) { ... },
+
+    // Supported languages for code editor
+    languages: { markdown, javascript, json, sql, html, css, yaml, go, python, rust },
+
+    // Keybinding modes (applied via user preference)
+    keybindings: { vim, emacs },
+};
+```
+
+### esbuild Config
+
+```javascript
+// src/editor/build.mjs
+import { build } from 'esbuild';
+
+await build({
+    entryPoints: ['index.mjs'],
+    bundle: true,
+    minify: true,
+    format: 'iife',
+    target: ['es2020'],
+    outfile: 'dist/codemirror.bundle.js',
+    // CSS extracted automatically by esbuild
+});
+```
+
+### package.json (editor only)
+
+```json
+{
+  "private": true,
+  "type": "module",
+  "devDependencies": {
+    "esbuild": "^0.25.0"
+  },
+  "dependencies": {

+    "@replit/codemirror-emacs": "^6"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration Surfaces
+
+### 1. Chat Input — Markdown Mode
+
+Replace `<textarea id="messageInput">` with a CM6 instance configured for chat composition.
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- Markdown syntax highlighting as you type (fenced code blocks, bold, italic, links, etc.)
+- Shift+Enter inserts newline (existing behavior preserved)
+- Enter sends message (existing behavior preserved)
+- Auto-growing height (CM6 handles this natively via `EditorView.contentAttributes`)
+- Placeholder text: "Send a message..."
+- No line numbers, no gutter — minimal chrome
+- Tab inserts real tab (indentWithTab) inside code blocks; normal behavior outside
+
+**Factory:**
+
+```javascript
+CM.chatInput(document.getElementById('messageInputContainer'), {
+    placeholder: 'Send a message...',
+    onSubmit: (text) => sendMessage(text),        // Enter key
+    onChange: (text) => updateInputTokens(text),   // live token count
+    darkMode: true,
+});
+```
+
+**Migration path:**
+
+The existing code reads `document.getElementById('messageInput').value` in many places. The factory returns an object with a `.getValue()` / `.setValue()` / `.focus()` API that matches the textarea interface. A thin shim keeps all existing callsites working:
+
+```javascript
+// After CM.chatInput() creates the editor:
+const editor = CM.chatInput(...);
+
+// Shim: existing code that reads .value still works
+Object.defineProperty(document.getElementById('messageInput'), 'value', {
+    get: () => editor.getValue(),
+    set: (v) => editor.setValue(v),
+});
+```
+
+Alternatively (cleaner): introduce `ChatInput.getValue()` / `ChatInput.setValue()` / `ChatInput.focus()` and update callsites. There aren't many — `chat.js`, `attachments.js`, `tokens.js`, and a few event handlers.
+
+### 2. Extension Editor — JavaScript/JSON Mode
+
+Replace the two `<textarea>` elements in `editAdminExtension()` (`admin-handlers.js` line 706-710) with CM6 instances.
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- Manifest textarea → JSON mode with bracket matching, auto-indent
+- Script textarea → JavaScript mode with bracket matching, auto-indent
+- Line numbers enabled
+- Search/replace (Ctrl+F) — currently impossible in a textarea
+- Tab key inserts proper indent (replaces the manual keydown handler at line 726-736)
+- Themed to match the app's dark/light mode
+
+**Factory:**
+
+```javascript
+CM.codeEditor(document.getElementById('extEdit-manifest-container'), {
+    language: 'json',
+    value: manifestJSON,
+    lineNumbers: true,
+    darkMode: isDark,
+});
+
+CM.codeEditor(document.getElementById('extEdit-script-container'), {
+    language: 'javascript',
+    value: script,
+    lineNumbers: true,
+    darkMode: isDark,
+    keymap: prefs.editorKeymap || 'standard',  // 'standard' | 'vim' | 'emacs'
+});
+```
+
+**Save integration:** `saveAdminExtension()` currently reads `.value` from the textareas. The CM6 instances expose `.getValue()` — update the save function to call that instead.
+
+### 3. Future Code Surface (Roadmap)
+
+The `CM.codeEditor()` factory with language auto-detection covers this. No additional work needed now — just document that it's available for the extensions surface type when that ships.
+
+---
+
+## Loading Strategy
+
+The CM6 bundle is **not** in `SHELL_FILES` (service worker precache list). It loads on demand:
+
+```html
+<!-- index.html: load after core app scripts, before app.js init -->
+<script src="vendor/codemirror/codemirror.bundle.js?v=%%APP_VERSION%%"
+        onerror="console.warn('CM6 not available — falling back to textarea')"></script>
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="vendor/codemirror/codemirror.bundle.css?v=%%APP_VERSION%%"
+      onerror="this.remove()">
+```
+
+**Graceful degradation:** If the bundle fails to load (disconnected environment without vendored copy, build issue, etc.), `window.CM` is undefined and all integration points fall back to plain `<textarea>`. Each factory callsite checks:
+
+```javascript
+if (window.CM) {
+    CM.chatInput(container, opts);
+} else {
+    // existing textarea behavior — unchanged
+}
+```
+
+This means CM6 is a progressive enhancement, not a hard dependency.
+
+---
+
+## SW Cache Considerations
+
+Add `vendor/codemirror/` to the SW exclusion list (same fix as the extensions path discussed earlier):
+
+```javascript
+if (url.pathname.includes('/api/') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/ws') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/branding/') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/extensions/') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/vendor/codemirror/') ||
+    event.request.method !== 'GET') {
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Or, more broadly, exclude all of `/vendor/` if you want vendor updates to always bypass the SW cache. The core vendors (marked, purify) are small enough that network-first is fine.
+
+Alternatively, since the bundle is versioned via `?v=%%APP_VERSION%%` and only changes on new builds, it could safely be in `SHELL_FILES` for precaching — unlike extensions which are user-editable at runtime. Either approach works.
+
+---
+
+## Theme Integration
+
+CM6's `oneDark` theme for dark mode. For light mode, the CM6 default is clean and neutral.
+
+Both need CSS variable overrides to match the app's existing `--bg`, `--bg-2`, `--border`, `--text`, `--accent` palette:
+
+```javascript
+const switchboardTheme = EditorView.theme({
+    '&': {
+        backgroundColor: 'var(--bg)',
+        color: 'var(--text)',
+        fontSize: '14px',
+    },
+    '.cm-content': {
+        fontFamily: 'var(--mono)',
+        caretColor: 'var(--accent)',
+    },
+    '.cm-cursor': {
+        borderLeftColor: 'var(--accent)',
+    },
+    '&.cm-focused .cm-selectionBackground, .cm-selectionBackground': {
+        backgroundColor: 'var(--accent-muted, rgba(99,102,241,0.2))',
+    },
+    '.cm-gutters': {
+        backgroundColor: 'var(--bg-2)',
+        color: 'var(--text-3)',
+        borderRight: '1px solid var(--border)',
+    },
+}, { dark: document.body.classList.contains('dark-theme') });
+```
+
+This goes into the bundle so it's applied automatically.
+
+---
+
+## File Layout
+
+```
+src/
+  editor/
+    package.json          # CM6 deps + esbuild
+    build.mjs             # esbuild script
+    index.mjs             # bundle entrypoint, exports window.CM
+    theme.mjs             # switchboard theme overrides
+    chat-input.mjs        # chatInput() factory
+    code-editor.mjs       # codeEditor() factory
+  js/
+    ...                   # existing app code (unchanged)
+  vendor/
+    marked.min.js         # existing
+    purify.min.js         # existing
+    codemirror/           # gitignored — built by Docker
+      codemirror.bundle.js
+      codemirror.bundle.css
+```
+
+The `src/editor/` directory is self-contained. It has its own `package.json` and `node_modules` (inside Docker only). No npm dependencies bleed into the main `src/js/` code. The build output lands in `vendor/codemirror/` which is gitignored like the other Docker-built vendors.
+
+---
+
+## Dockerfile Changes
+
+```dockerfile
+# Stage 1: vendor libs (existing)
+FROM node:20-alpine AS vendor
+# ... existing marked, purify, mermaid, katex extraction ...
+
+# Stage 2: CM6 bundle (NEW)
+FROM node:20-alpine AS cm6-build
+WORKDIR /build
+COPY src/editor/ ./
+RUN npm ci
+RUN node build.mjs
+
+# Stage 3: nginx (existing, with additions)
+FROM nginx:1-alpine
+# ... existing setup ...
+COPY src/ /usr/share/nginx/html/
+COPY --from=vendor /vendor/ /usr/share/nginx/html/vendor/
+COPY --from=cm6-build /build/dist/ /usr/share/nginx/html/vendor/codemirror/
+# ... rest unchanged ...
+```
+
+The `vendor` and `cm6-build` stages run in parallel (Docker BuildKit), so build time impact is minimal.

+
+## Resolved Decisions
+
+1. **Language modes** — Ship Python, Rust, and YAML upfront alongside Go, JS, JSON, SQL, HTML, CSS, and Markdown. Covers the team's stack. Additional modes are a one-line import + rebuild.
+
+2. **Local dev build script** — Provide a `scripts/build-editor.sh` that runs the esbuild step standalone, shared by both Dockerfile.frontend and the unified Dockerfile. Developers can also run it locally to get the CM6 bundle without a full Docker build.
+
+3. **Vim/Emacs keybindings** — Ship both. Exposed as a user preference toggle (default: standard). Applied via `CM.keybindings.vim` / `CM.keybindings.emacs` as CM6 extensions at editor creation time.
+
+---
+
+## Build Script
+
+Shared script used by both Dockerfiles and local dev:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/sh
+# scripts/build-editor.sh — Build CM6 bundle
+# Usage: ./scripts/build-editor.sh [output-dir]
+#
+# Defaults to src/vendor/codemirror/ for local dev.
+# Dockerfiles pass /build/dist/ as the output dir.
+set -e
+
+SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
+EDITOR_DIR="${SCRIPT_DIR}/../src/editor"
+OUTPUT_DIR="${1:-${SCRIPT_DIR}/../src/vendor/codemirror}"
+
+cd "${EDITOR_DIR}"
+
+# Install if needed (CI/Docker will already have node_modules)
+[ -d node_modules ] || npm ci
+
+mkdir -p "${OUTPUT_DIR}"
+node build.mjs --outdir="${OUTPUT_DIR}"
+
+echo "✅ CM6 bundle → ${OUTPUT_DIR}"
+```
+
+Dockerfile usage:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:20-alpine AS cm6-build
+WORKDIR /build
+COPY src/editor/ /build/src/editor/
+COPY scripts/build-editor.sh /build/scripts/build-editor.sh
+RUN cd /build/src/editor && npm ci
+RUN sh /build/scripts/build-editor.sh /build/dist
+```
+
+---
+
+## Keybinding Preference
+
+Add to user appearance preferences (alongside dark/light theme toggle):
+
+```
+Editor keybindings: [Standard ▾] [Vim] [Emacs]
+```
+
+Stored in `localStorage` under `cs-appearance`:
+
+```javascript
+const prefs = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('cs-appearance') || '{}');
+// prefs.editorKeymap = 'standard' | 'vim' | 'emacs'
+```
+
+Applied at editor creation time:
+
+```javascript
+const keymapExt = [];
+if (prefs.editorKeymap === 'vim') keymapExt.push(CM.keybindings.vim());
+else if (prefs.editorKeymap === 'emacs') keymapExt.push(CM.keybindings.emacs());
+
+CM.codeEditor(target, {
+    language: 'javascript',
+    extensions: keymapExt,
+    // ...
+});
+```
+
+**Note:** Vim/Emacs modes apply only to the code editor and extension editor surfaces. The chat input always uses standard keybindings to avoid confusing Enter-to-send behavior with modal editing.
