Security:
- Path traversal in JsonFileSessionStore — validate session_id (#9)
- Unicode homoglyph bypass in injection screening — NFKD + zero-width
  strip + homoglyph map (#13)

Data integrity:
- FileKnowledgeStore._save_all() atomic write via tmp + os.replace (#10)

LOW fix:

- Fixed naive/aware datetime comparison in prune_old_logs
- Updated tests to use UTC dates

Full suite: 2013 passed.
Covers: path traversal, Unicode bypass, atomic writes, async confirm_action,
ToolCall stringification, async tool execute, None serialization, bool/int
validation, hybrid search O(1), regex crash, JSON validity, SSN regex,
coherence usage+fail_closed, LLM evaluator parse failure, donut SVG,
memory clear summary, datetime UTC awareness.
Guardrail base class:
- Added async def acheck() with default asyncio.to_thread fallback
- Subclasses can override for native async (e.g. LLM-based guardrails)

GuardrailsPipeline:
- Added acheck_input() and acheck_output() with _arun_chain()
- Mirrors sync pipeline but calls acheck() on each guardrail

Agent core:
- Added _arun_input_guardrails() and _arun_output_guardrails()
- arun() and astream() use async guardrails via skip_guardrails flag
- run() still uses sync guardrails (unchanged behavior)

This fixes the event loop blocking issue where sync guardrails in
arun()/astream() could stall the entire async application.
- Test count: 2113 → 2183 across all docs and landing page
- README.md: fix stale 2082 reference
- CLAUDE.md: add 5 new Common Pitfalls (#14-#18) from bug hunt
  - FallbackProvider stream success recording
  - astream() must use _effective_model
  - Async observer events in all exit paths
  - datetime.utcnow deprecated
  - Guardrails have async support
- Fix _openai_compat _format_tool_call_id None return (mypy)
91 validated bug fixes across 7 subsystems (13 critical, 26 high,
30 medium, 22 low). Async guardrails for non-blocking arun()/astream().
40 new regression tests. 5 new Common Pitfalls in CLAUDE.md.

Addresses 4 items from the latest Galaxy S23 review round plus one new
desktop instruction.

1. **Hidden nav drawer leaving a visible line at the top of the header**
   (Image #29): the previous `transform: translateY(-110%)` with a
   `border-bottom: 1px solid` on .nav-drawer was leaving a faint
   sub-pixel artifact depending on viewport/DPR. Replaced with
   `opacity: 0 + visibility: hidden + transform: translateY(-8px)`,
   using transition-delay to sequence visibility correctly on
   open (immediate) vs close (after fade-out completes). The drawer
   is now completely invisible and non-interactive when closed —
   no peek, no interactive hit zone.

2. **Huge gap between "24 Built-in Tools" and "Multi-Agent Orchestration"
   on mobile** (Image #30): the `mt-16` (64px) between the grid-4 and
   grid-2 card sections created a visible "end of section" break
   mid-content when both collapse to single column. Added a mobile/touch
   override that reduces mt-16 to match the in-grid gap (14px), so the
   cards read as one continuous list.

3. **pip install button looks bad on desktop** (Image #31): completely
   replaced the old .btn-pip squished-text button with a full terminal
   install component inspired by the nv-context-landing pattern the user
   pointed at. Structure:

     ┌─ ● ● ●  ~/your-project                    [Copy] ─┐
     │                                                    │
     │  $ pip install selectools█                          │
     │                                                    │
     └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

   - Rounded container with cyan-tinted hover glow
   - Mac-style traffic-light dots (red/yellow/green)
   - `~/your-project` filename in the chrome
   - `$ pip install selectools` with cyan prompt, white cmd, blinking
     cyan caret
   - Reveal-on-hover "Copy" button (always visible on touch)
   - Whole component is click-to-copy with Enter/Space keyboard support
   - "Copied" flash on the Copy button + bottom toast notification
   - Full clipboard API with execCommand fallback for insecure contexts

   Replaces the old `<button class="btn btn-pip">` + `copyPip()` JS.
   The "Try the Builder" and "Read the Docs" buttons move below as a
   standard two-button CTA row. Far more visually distinctive and
   intuitive than a button labeled "pip install selectools".

4. **Desktop header auto-hide** (new instruction): removed the
   nav-hide-on-scroll-down behavior on desktop too. The header now
   stays permanently fixed on all viewports — the previous
   progressive-enhancement auto-hide was confusing even on desktop.
   Also removed the now-dead .nav-hidden CSS class and the
   `allowHide` logic in the scroll-progress IIFE.

Also cleaned up:
- Removed `.nav-drawer { display: block }` overrides from both media
  queries — the drawer is always `display: block` default now, with
  visibility controlling appearance. Simpler, fewer rules.
- Added `.terminal-body .caret` and `.terminal-install:hover`
  neutralization in the prefers-reduced-motion block.
- Added `@media (hover: none)` guard to prevent transform lift on touch.
