The docs folder is gone, and what it held lives where people read it: how a self-hosted g1t runs and how to deploy g1t to Cloudflare are pages on docs.g1t.sh under Run g1t yourself, and speed, rate limits and operating g1t.sh are sections of CONTRIBUTING.md; code that cited a file in docs/ now points to the page or section that covers it, or says what it means itself, and applied migrations and the runner images are left as they were.6 * Personality is voice only (docs.g1t.sh/guides/agents/, "Job and
7 * personality"): it is placed under its own heading and the rules come
8 * after it, so free text there cannot loosen what the agent may do.

Each agent has an Abilities tab: g1t's built-ins, always on within the asker's access; its computer, coming; each connected integration's actions one row each, read, import, comment or resolve, with a level for each, alone, alone when the person asked for it, ask first or never, and whose connection it runs on; and MCP servers an owner adds. Reading is alone, writing inside g1t follows today's choices, anything that leaves g1t asks first, and production deploys can't go above ask. The agents service enforces every level: ask first posts a card to allow or deny and parks a session until it's answered, a refusal names its rule in the transcript and the audit log, and a missing ability posts a request to owners.

Every agent can have its own computer. A session that needs one wakes it: a home of its own on g1t cloud, one per agent and never shared, where it runs commands, reads and writes files and keeps what it made, with each session working in its own folder under a shared home; after ten idle minutes it sleeps, its home kept as a snapshot and restored when it wakes, and Reset wipes the home while memory and artifacts stay. Its shell and files are abilities with the usual choices, Alone, Alone when asked, Ask first or Never, offered only inside sessions and never to a chat reply; every command shows on the session with its output, and the agent's new Computer tab shows the state, the disk used of the five gigabytes included, the recent commands, and Wake, Put to sleep and Reset. Machine time counts only while it is awake, on the sandbox lines of the ledger that name the agent and who asked, held to the same spend caps as the session; the disk itself costs nothing in this version. The runner gained a long-lived supervisor that answers the computer's requests inside the container, and the runner service a computer per agent that keeps its snapshot in the agent homes bucket when one is attached, and says so when none is. The REST API and the agent tool can read a computer, wake it, put it to sleep and reset it. The agents, abilities, sessions, runners, billing and deploy guides say how it works and what an operator sets up; pinning a computer to your own runner, its browser and take-over come next.83 /** In a session with the agent's own computer (computer.ts): this session's directory on it.

Its shell and files are abilities with the usual choices, Alone, Alone when asked, Ask first or Never, offered only inside sessions and never to a chat reply; every command shows on the session with its output, and the agent's new Computer tab shows the state, the disk used of the five gigabytes included, the recent commands, and Wake, Put to sleep and Reset.
