feat(team): Bot visibility, shared Bots and Role Policy (M7) - #4258
Bots are private by default. The principal (owner) can make one public to everyone, to chosen roles or to chosen people. Each person who can use it gets their own private DM with it. Role Policy goes to the Bot as an advisory speaker tag, and Deny wins on conflicts.
Bot access = principal's access ∩ restrictions on the Bot
read: any Channel the principal can access (switch "Can join channels you're in")
write: only Channels the Bot was added to
DM: private → principal only
public → audience (everyone | roles | members); one DM per (Human, Bot);
the principal cannot read others' DMs (M11 only)
narrow audience → preview → outsiders' DMs become read-only, Bot leaves unqualified Channels
Bot→Bot: private may message/delegate to reachable public; public → private refused

Evidence
Real isolated Host on 4e81c06b7 (DSH 0.2.2-rc.1, real model DeepSeek V4.1 Flash), Owner + Bob + Alice + Carol, driven by UI and CLI:
Bob makes Helper public
Alice finds it under "Message a Bot"
Alice's DM: real replies to UI and CLI sends
Alice sees Helper's profile view-only, "Shared by Bob"
Bob narrows it to Carol: confirmation
Alice's DM is kept, read-only
Owner gives Carol Finance + Intern: conflict, Deny applies
Canonical results from the same run (CLI --as):
alice reachable before publish → []
alice bot-access visibility-set (Bob's) → permission-required
bob publishes to everyone → {kind:public, audience:{kind:everyone}}
alice reachable after → ["Helper:Bob"]
alice send helper (CLI) → ok, real reply
bob channel-messages <alice's DM> → remote-access/denied
bob visibility-set members:carol --preview → dmsBecomingReadOnly: [alice's DM]
alice send after narrowing → bot-dm-read-only (DM stays listed, history readable)
alice profile DOM → sharedBy "Shared by Bob", no edit/Share/cards
All CI-selected affected suites (--maxWorkers=2): 8,085 passed, 23 skipped, 1 known local-only failure (relationship-control.test.ts › "acknowledges simultaneous retirements"; fails on clean main locally too and passes in main's CI).
pnpm typecheck, pnpm lint (including the new tool-effects check: speaker_policy is read-only, local, personal data), pnpm e2e:smoke pass.
Core regressions in team-bot-visibility.test.ts cover the remaining acceptance: a Bot keeps read but loses write when its principal loses the right to post; reads follow the principal and stop with the switch off; addBots / principal membership / audience / switch on add; private→public Bot messaging allowed and public→private refused; never delegates M11 to any Bot; Deny-wins with explicit conflicting role pairs; public Bot replies reach only their Human participant.
Shared Bot profile: new personabot-profile.test.ts case (owner sees edit controls; shared Bot shows none, plus "Shared by").
CI found a regression on 4e81c06b7 ("timeline performance budget" › GenUI opening): a Bot posting to its own principal's DM without a source event was refused bot-proactive-denied, because the proactive-DM switch (off by default) was also applied to the principal. Fixed in 90d172f26: the current owner is exempt (also after an ownership transfer, with Team mode on or off); other audience members still need the switch, audience and no opt-out. Codex reran the exact CI step locally (all budgets pass) and affected suites (8,137 passed, 0 failed).
Two appended migrations (bot-visibility, human-roster-arrangements). Existing Bots become private with proactive DMs off; existing Owner Bot group reach is preserved; DM IDs, Memory paths, roles and permissions are unchanged.
Blast Radius: broad
Touches Bot DM resolution, Channel read/write checks, attention delivery and the Bot system prompt (fixed speaker-tag rule). Owner-only Hosts keep current behaviour (Owner Bots stay reachable to the Owner).
Added controls for Bot visibility, audience selection, proactive messaging, channel participation, and speaker context.
Added a directory for finding and messaging reachable public Bots.
Added role-based speaker policies, including conflict warnings.
Added participant-specific Bot conversations, with read-only history when access is lost.
Added shared Bot Memory placement and per-person roster arrangements.
Added CLI commands for Bot access and speaker policies.
Improvements
Shared Bot profiles are view-only, identify who shared them, and no longer load personal sessions or inboxes.
Visibility changes preview affected conversations, channels, and Memory before confirmation.
Channel access and Bot messaging reflect current membership, roles, and visibility; proactive messages to a Bot’s owner remain available when audience DMs are disabled.
Add current principal checks and participant authority for public Bot DMs,
visibility and switches, audience shrink confirmation, CLI parity, and
append-only speaker context with Deny-wins role policy.

Add an Access entry to each Bot's settings in Team mode: private or public to everyone, chosen roles or chosen people, with a confirmation that lists read-only DMs, Channels left and where Memory moves. The three per-Bot switches apply on change. The folder audience picker becomes a shared AudienceField, and the M7 refusal codes get copy.

A DM that left a Bot's audience keeps its history but locks the composer with an explanation. People who use someone else's Bot can turn off its proactive messages from the Bot's Access section.

Summary
Access contracts and persistence packages/core/src/team/bot-contract.ts, packages/core/src/channels/channel.ts, packages/core/src/database/schema-plan.ts, packages/core/src/bridge/methods.ts, docs/adr/0336-hosts-have-members.md
Adds visibility, audience, and Bot setting contracts; stores access settings, role policy fields, Bot-channel adders, proactive opt-outs, and speaker-policy state. Channel records can carry a Human-specific DM identity.
Bot authorization and runtime enforcement packages/core/src/team/bots.ts, packages/core/src/team/{service,bridge,bridge-access}.ts, packages/core/src/runtime/bot-runtime.ts, packages/core/src/channels/sqlite-store.ts, packages/core/test/*
Adds principal-aware Bot checks across bridge, Channel, and runtime operations. Reads and writes use distinct access checks. Visibility changes can preview affected DMs, Channels, and Memory. Runtime paths recheck Bot activity and access during turns.
Pairs Bot DMs with Humans and resolves their actual Channel IDs. Shared-Bot listings expose metadata, while retained participant DMs support read-only history after access changes. Roster arrangements and attention queries are scoped to the Human.
Moves public Bot Memory into a hidden shared space with a matching audience. Transfer preparation, rollback, recovery, startup reconciliation, and erased-memory cleanup are added.
Role Policy and speaker context packages/core/src/team/{roles,speaker-policy}.ts, packages/core/src/runtime/dsh-bot-agent-adapter.ts, packages/client/src/client/{team-roles-bridge.ts,team-roles.tsx,role-policy-field.tsx}
Adds validated, revisioned role policies and conflict reporting. Bot runs can attach policy context for a speaking Human and commit policy revisions when input is accepted.
Client and CLI access surfaces packages/client/src/client/*, packages/core/src/bots/cli-team.ts, packages/core/test/cli-team.test.ts, docs/architecture/team-mode-m7-runtime.md
Adds Bot Access settings, audience selection, shared-Bot discovery and profile behavior, read-only DM presentation, and CLI commands for visibility, switches, reachability, opt-outs, and role-policy queries.

Explanation
The title "feat(team): Bot visibility, shared Bots and Role Policy (M7)" names the main changes in the changeset: Bot visibility controls, shared Bots (sharedBy, shared roster, public Bot discovery), and Role Policy with conflict handling. The changeset also covers migrations, CLI, bridge, and client UI, which the title does not list, but it reflects the primary feature scope and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template closely. It has a Closes #4150 line for the issue, a Summary, Evidence with real-Host results and screenshots, the automated checks run and what was not run, and a Merge Danger section covering reversibility (one-way migrations), blast radius, and review focus. It does not state a CI test plan mode (affected/full/none) or name a ci-plan.mjs rule, and the Change outline is replaced by a diff-style structure outline, so a few template items are only partly addressed.

Explanation
Directly linked issue #4150 is the primary requirement set. Parent hub #4138 and spec #4137 supply context only. Coding requirements and evidence from the whole-PR summary (merge base 52c5544 to head 25c83cc): Principal access: TeamBots (packages/core/src/team/bots.ts) applies requireActive, canRead, and requireChannel; read follows principal access and write requires Channel membership. Visibility: setVisibility validates audiences, returns a preview, and requires confirm on shrink; affected DMs become read-only (bot-dm-read-only); audienceContains supports widen and narrow checks. Switches and adding Bots: requireAdd, recordAdder, requireJoin, and the join switch. DMs: dmHumanId and humanBotDm give one DM per (Human, public Bot). Bot-to-Bot: requireBotTarget allows private-to-public and refuses public-to-private. M11: private-content bot auditing requires bots.manageAll and excludes Bot callers. Role Policy: speaker-policy.ts gives advisory envelopes with speaker identity and roles; Deny wins in conflicts. CLI --as parity: cli-team.ts and cli-bot-dm.ts (resolveBotDm), with tests. Tests: team-bot-visibility, team-shared-roster, and team-public-bot-memory. Real-Host verification is author-reported and was not re-run. Uncertainty: the newest commits (90d172f proactive-DM owner fix, 25c83cc client Bot access fix) are described only in the summary; their diffs could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout. No demonstrated noncompliance was found. Missing evidence is limited to line-level verification of those newest commits and of the author-reported real-Host run.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Changes map to #4150 requirements or to required supporting work: client access and profile UI, Role Policy editor and conflict notice, migrations bot-visibility and human-roster-arrangements, test expectation changes from not-a-member to bot-channel-access-denied, documentation (ADR-0336 amendment, M7 runtime notes), the changelog entry, and speaker_policy tool-effects and grant-execution entries. No demonstrated unrelated change was found. Missing evidence: packages/client/test/team-human-authors.test.ts changes the refused action from topReorder to releaseInstall in one line. The summary does not explain this edit, and its diff could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout. This is unresolved, but it does not demonstrate an unrelated feature, so it does not support FAIL.

packages/core/src/runtime/bot-runtime.ts:3114-3119 Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Add speaker context to Group steering.
When a Human Group mention uses delivery=steer, #steerGroupMention sends the prompt directly through #steerWithMemory. This path does not call #speakerInput. The new request therefore reaches the model without that Human's speaker tag or Role Policy, unlike a queued turn or steered DM.
Build the envelope for the Group admissions before steering. Commit it only when steering succeeds.

Send Assignment failure notices only to the DM of the Human who owns the Assignment.
#dmChannel returns the first DM for the Bot slug, without checking dmHumanId. The channel list is sorted by updatedAt, so a participant DM can be returned when it is newer than the owner's DM. #publishAssignmentRefusal and #trackAssignmentRun then post the Assignment title and error text to that channel. A Human who is not part of the Assignment can receive this text.
Select the DM by the Human who owns the Assignment, using channel.dmHumanId ?? <Bot owner>, as the existing check near line 8659 does. Skip the notice when that Human has no DM with the Bot. This change needs the requesting-Human field from the Assignment row, so it should be made in the two Assignment callers rather than in the shared #dmChannel helper.

Check Bot join eligibility before a pending Group join request is accepted.
decideGroupJoin adds the requesting Bot to members when accept is true. It does not run the eligibility check that both invitation paths run before they write membership. A pending request can remain pending after the principal's joinPrincipalChannels switch is set to false or after the principal loses Channel access. The switch update removes existing memberships but does not change joinRequests. An accept from any decision path can then add a Bot whose principal can no longer use the Channel.
Call the same guard at the accept boundary, after the pending checks and before any write:
Suggested fix
if (request.status !== 'pending' || channel.members.includes(request.requesterBotSlug))
throw new Error('Group join request is no longer pending');
+ if (input.accept) humanAccess?.requireBotJoin?.(request.requesterBotSlug, channel.id);

Minor · Use each Human's muted roster for attention queries. · human-attention.ts:650
packages/core/src/runtime/human-attention.ts:650 Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Use each Human's muted roster for attention queries.
When a non-local Human mutes a shared-Bot DM, RosterStore.forHuman persists that mute. These queries instead pass [], so the muted DM still appears in unread attention and dmReplies.
Make the muted-channel callback accept the Human context. Read that Human's roster and use it at all attention query call sites. The supplied plugin callback currently reads only the root roster.

Forward the Bot display name in the channelDm request.
resolveBotDm sends only slug. On first DM creation, the handler then stores slug as the DM name, because displayName ?? slug replaces the missing name and getOrCreateDm uses that value before its registry fallback. Bot creation previously sent bot.name, so new DMs created through the CLI can show the slug, such as helper, instead of the Bot display name, such as Research Assistant. Existing DMs are unchanged.
Accept an optional display name in resolveBotDm and forward it when present. The creation call site should pass the Bot name.
Add displayName?: string to resolveBotDm's parameters, and pass bot.name from the creation path.

Direct sends skip the proactive DM check when the Human DM has any earlier source.
For a direct send with no explicit reply source, runDirectBotTool uses the newest placement in the target channel as the run source. The send path then skips requireProactive whenever that source belongs to the same channel, so a Bot can start a message to a Human DM it has previously exchanged messages with, even when proactiveDms is off. The proactive switch is not enforced for these sends.
Limit the reply-context exemption to sources that answer the current turn, such as the explicit replySourceEventId or the turn's own sources. Keep requireProactive for direct sends without such a source. A patch is not included because the intended reply-context rule for direct sends is not established by the inspected code.

Review comment at @packages/core/src/runtime/bot-runtime.ts at line 8656:
Update the same-channel exemption in the direct-send path so only sources confirmed to answer the current turn, such as an explicit replySourceEventId or a turn-owned source, bypass requireProactive. Do not treat the newest placement selected by runDirectBotTool as reply context; keep the proactive check for direct sends without a qualifying source. Establish the intended current-turn source rule from existing code before implementing it.

Register speaker_policy independently of external messaging.
registerBridgeTool adds this tool to the external-messaging tool list. Lines 1166–1184 install that list only when externalMessaging.connected() is true.
A Team Bot without an external connection cannot call speaker_policy, although its prompt instructs it to use that tool for current Human Role Policy checks. Use registerTool, or gate registration on run.speakerPolicy instead.

Bot–Bot DM access follows current owners, not the recorded initiating participant.
After a Bot transfer, the Bot–Bot DM keeps its dmHumanId, but canRead ignores it for Bot–Bot DMs. It decides access by comparing the Bots' current owners at packages/core/src/team/bots.ts:528-533. The documented contract says Bot–Bot DMs retain their recorded initiating Human across transfer, and that channel visibility follows that participant (docs/architecture/team-mode-m7-runtime.md:32, 207).
Concrete case: Human X owns private Bots A and C, and they share a DM recorded to X. X transfers both Bots to Human Y. Both Bots now have owner Y, so peer.owner === bot.owner is true, and Y's Bots can read the DM. The transfer path leaves that DM record unchanged (packages/core/src/team/service.ts:1060-1062).
Authorize Bot–Bot DM reads against the recorded dmHumanId participant, using the same rule as the Human–Bot branch. A transferred Bot must not gain access to a DM whose participant is a different Human.

Update the Bot–Bot DM authorization branch to use the recorded channel.dmHumanId as its participant, following the same audience rule as the Human–Bot branch instead of comparing current Bot owners. Preserve the existing visibility checks, and ensure a Bot transfer does not grant access when the recorded participant is a different Human.

Allow shared Bot filters in Human-scoped attention queries.
If Bob calls humanAttention({ botSlug: aliceBot }) for Alice's reachable public Bot, this branch returns bot-not-found. humanAttention is not an interaction, so ownership remains mandatory. The query never reaches the Human-scoped attention implementation.
Permit accessible shared Bot references for these Human-scoped queries. Keep the returned attention scoped to the caller.

Update the `!interaction` authorization branch to accept Bot references that are accessible to the caller, including reachable public shared Bots, while retaining the existing ownership requirement for interactions. Keep `humanAttention` results scoped to the requesting Human; reuse the established access checks rather than broadening access to another Human’s attention.

Partial switch updates overwrite stored switches with schema defaults.
botSwitchesSchema.partial() keeps each field's .default() for omitted keys in Zod 4. The bridge therefore forwards default values for every omitted switch. TeamBots.switches merges that patch into the stored switches and persists the result. As a result:
{slug, speakerContext:false} sets joinPrincipalChannels to true and proactiveDms to false. Any stored values for those switches are overwritten.
{slug} alone still produces a non-empty patch after defaults apply. It writes and resets all three switches to their defaults.
Parse the switch fields as optional booleans without defaults. Then only the keys the client sends reach TeamBots.switches:
Add bridge tests for two cases. A partial request must keep the stored values of omitted switches. A slug-only request must not write.

…he Host
- A late switch response no longer overwrites a newer switch result or a
just-applied audience.
- Opening a shared Bot or a joined Channel from its dialog leaves a remote
Host conversation first.
- Role Policy conflicts match topics exactly, as the Host does, and include
a role that both allows and denies the same topic.

- Line 131: Update the switch-request handling around `switchRequest.current`
and `updateReady` so an earlier successful switch is not discarded solely
because a later, unrelated switch request is pending; track completion per
switch or reload access after overlapping requests settle, ensuring displayed
settings reflect the server when the later request fails. Add a regression case
where the earlier request succeeds and the later request fails.

another switch is still pending or fails; only an older result for the

Closes #4150
Issue #4150 | Hub #4138 | Spec #4137 | Runtime notes
Summary
Bots are private by default. The principal (owner) can make one public to everyone, to chosen roles or to chosen people. Each person who can use it gets their own private DM with it. Role Policy goes to the Bot as an advisory speaker tag, and Deny wins on conflicts.
