v1.46.0

Added

• ChannelAdapter protocol -- ChannelAdapter ABC unifies inbound and outbound messaging for Telegram and Discord with channel_target per-conversation routing
• doctor --fix auto-repair -- auto-installs missing pip extras, offers API key setup, repairs config, bumps spec_version with surgical text edits. --fix --yes for non-interactive CI
• validate --explain -- prints plain-language explanations of each role config section (role, model, tools, memory, autonomy, triggers, sinks, output, security) without LLM calls
• Rich progress bars -- auto-ingest and autonomous runs show real-time progress with spinners and file/chunk counts
• 4 new starters -- rag-agent (document Q&A), email-agent (inbox monitoring + triage), ci-pipeline (webhook receiver + build analyzer + Slack notifier), support-desk (sense-routed intake/researcher/responder/escalator)
• Source code extraction -- ingestion handles 25+ file extensions (.py, .js, .ts, .go, .rs, etc.) with shared SKIP_DIRS filtering
• DiceBear avatars -- deterministic identity avatars (Rings style) in dashboard conversation threads with spinning indicator during streaming
• Auto-detect provider in setup -- setup wizard detects provider from existing API key environment variables
• No-arg CLI menu -- initrunner with no arguments shows an interactive menu of common starters
• OpenRouter preset -- preset provider configuration for OpenRouter
• Post-command suggestions -- CLI prints 2-3 copy-paste next-steps after successful commands, actionable error hints with Hint: lines (suppressed in non-TTY/JSON)
• Orchestration Patterns guide -- comprehensive documentation with decision tree, YAML examples, and competitive comparison

Changed

• Non-destructive spec_version bump -- replaces YAML round-trip with regex-based in-place editing that preserves comments, block scalars, and flow-style lists
