+## MCP Servers (Beta)
+
+Triple-C supports [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) servers, which extend Claude Code with access to external tools and data sources. MCP servers are configured in a **global library** and **enabled per-project**.
+
+### How It Works
+
+There are two dimensions to MCP server configuration:
+
+| | **Manual** (no Docker image) | **Docker** (Docker image specified) |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Stdio** | Command runs inside the project container | Command runs in a separate MCP container via `docker exec` |
+| **HTTP** | Connects to a URL you provide | Runs in a separate container, reached by hostname on a shared Docker network |
+
+**Docker images are pulled automatically** if not already present when the project starts.
+
+### Accessing MCP Configuration
+
+Click the **MCP** tab in the sidebar to open the MCP server library. This is where you define all available MCP servers.
+
+### Adding an MCP Server
+
+1. Type a name in the input field and click **Add**.
+2. Expand the server card and configure it.
+
+The key decision is whether to set a **Docker Image**:
+- **With Docker image** — The MCP server runs in its own isolated container. Best for servers that need specific dependencies or system-level packages.
+- **Without Docker image** (manual) — The command runs directly inside your project container. Best for lightweight npx-based servers that just need Node.js.
+
+Then choose the **Transport Type**:
+- **Stdio** — The MCP server communicates over stdin/stdout. This is the most common type.
+- **HTTP** — The MCP server exposes an HTTP endpoint (streamable HTTP transport).
+
+### Configuration Examples
+
+#### Example 1: Filesystem Server (Stdio, Manual)
+
+A simple npx-based server that runs inside the project container. No Docker image needed since Node.js is already installed.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | *(empty)* |
+| **Transport** | Stdio |
+| **Command** | `npx` |
+| **Arguments** | `-y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /workspace` |
+
+This gives Claude Code access to browse and read files via MCP. The command runs directly inside the project container using the pre-installed Node.js.
+
+#### Example 2: GitHub Server (Stdio, Manual)
+
+Another npx-based server, with an environment variable for authentication.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | *(empty)* |
+| **Transport** | Stdio |

+#### Example 3: Custom MCP Server (HTTP, Docker)
+
+An MCP server packaged as a Docker image that exposes an HTTP endpoint.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | `myregistry/my-mcp-server:latest` |
+| **Transport** | HTTP |
+| **Container Port** | `8080` |
+| **Environment Variables** | `API_KEY` = `your_key` |
+
+Triple-C will:
+1. Pull the image automatically if not present
+2. Start the container on the project's bridge network
+3. Configure Claude Code to reach it at `http://triple-c-mcp-{id}:8080/mcp`
+
+The hostname is the MCP container's name on the Docker network — **not** `localhost`.
+
+#### Example 4: Database Server (Stdio, Docker)
+
+An MCP server that needs its own runtime environment, communicating over stdio.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | `mcp/postgres-server:latest` |
+| **Transport** | Stdio |
+| **Command** | `node` |
+| **Arguments** | `dist/index.js` |
+| **Environment Variables** | `DATABASE_URL` = `postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db` |
+
+Triple-C will:
+1. Pull the image and start it on the project network
+2. Configure Claude Code to communicate via `docker exec -i triple-c-mcp-{id} node dist/index.js`
+3. Automatically enable Docker socket access on the project container (required for `docker exec`)
+
+### Enabling MCP Servers Per-Project
+
+In a project's configuration panel (click **Config**), the **MCP Servers** section shows checkboxes for all globally defined servers. Toggle each server on or off for that project. Changes take effect on the next container start.
+
+### How Docker-Based MCP Works
+
+When a project with Docker-based MCP servers starts:
+
+1. Missing Docker images are **automatically pulled** (progress shown in the progress modal)
+2. A dedicated **bridge network** is created for the project (`triple-c-net-{projectId}`)
+3. Each enabled Docker MCP server gets its own container on that network
+4. The main project container is connected to the same network
+5. MCP server configuration is written to `~/.claude.json` inside the container
+
+**Networking**: Docker-based MCP containers are reached by their container name as a hostname (e.g., `triple-c-mcp-{serverId}`), not by `localhost`. Docker DNS resolves these names automatically on the shared bridge network.
+
+**Stdio + Docker**: The project container uses `docker exec` to communicate with the MCP container over stdin/stdout. This automatically enables Docker socket access on the project container.
+
+**HTTP + Docker**: The project container connects to the MCP container's HTTP endpoint using the container hostname and port (e.g., `http://triple-c-mcp-{serverId}:3000/mcp`).
+
+**Manual (no Docker image)**: Stdio commands run directly inside the project container. HTTP URLs connect to wherever you point them (could be an external service or something running on the host).
+
+### Configuration Change Detection
+
+MCP server configuration is tracked via SHA-256 fingerprints stored as Docker labels. If you add, remove, or modify MCP servers for a project, the container is automatically recreated on the next start to apply the new configuration. The container filesystem is snapshotted first, so installed packages are preserved.

+## Ollama Configuration
+
+To use Claude Code with a local or remote Ollama server, switch the backend to **Ollama** on the project card.
+
+### Settings
+
+- **Base URL** — The URL of your Ollama server. Defaults to `http://host.docker.internal:11434`, which reaches a locally running Ollama instance from inside the container. For a remote server, use its IP or hostname (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:11434`).
+- **Model ID** — Optional. Override the model to use (e.g., `qwen3.5:27b`).
+
+### How It Works
+
+Triple-C sets `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` to point Claude Code at your Ollama server instead of Anthropic's API. The `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is set to `ollama` (required by Claude Code but not used for actual authentication).

+### MCP Server Architecture
+
+Triple-C supports [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) servers as a Beta feature. MCP servers extend Claude Code with external tools and data sources.
+
+**Modes**: Each MCP server operates in one of four modes based on transport type and whether a Docker image is specified:
+
+| Mode | Where It Runs | How It Communicates |
+|------|--------------|---------------------|
+| Stdio + Manual | Inside the project container | Direct stdin/stdout (e.g., `npx -y @mcp/server`) |
+| Stdio + Docker | Separate MCP container | `docker exec -i <mcp-container> <command>` from the project container |
+| HTTP + Manual | External / user-provided | Connects to the URL you specify |
+| HTTP + Docker | Separate MCP container | `http://<mcp-container>:<port>/mcp` via Docker DNS on a shared bridge network |
+
+**Key behaviors**:
+- **Global library**: MCP servers are defined globally in the MCP sidebar tab and stored in `mcp_servers.json`
+- **Per-project toggles**: Each project enables/disables individual servers via checkboxes
+- **Auto-pull**: Docker images for MCP servers are pulled automatically if not present when the project starts
+- **Docker networking**: Docker-based MCP containers run on a per-project bridge network (`triple-c-net-{projectId}`), reachable by container name — not localhost
+- **Auto-detection**: Config changes are detected via SHA-256 fingerprints and trigger automatic container recreation
+- **Config injection**: MCP server configuration is written to `~/.claude.json` inside the container via the `MCP_SERVERS_JSON` environment variable, merged by the entrypoint using `jq`
+
+### Mission Control Integration
+
+Optional per-project integration with [Flight Control](https://github.com/msieurthenardier/mission-control) — an AI-first development methodology. When enabled, the repo is cloned into the container, skills are installed, and workflow instructions are injected into CLAUDE.md.

+const MISSION_CONTROL_GLOBAL_INSTRUCTIONS: &str = r#"## Mission Control
+
+The `/workspace/mission-control/` directory contains **Flight Control** — an AI-first development methodology for structured project management. Use it for all project work.
+
+### How It Works
+
+- **Mission Control is a tool, not a project.** It provides skills and methodology for managing other projects.
+- All Flight Control skills are installed as personal skills in `~/.claude/skills/` and are automatically available as `/slash-commands`
+- The methodology docs and project registry live in `/workspace/mission-control/`
+
+### When to Use
+
+When working on any project that has a `.flightops/` directory, follow the Flight Control methodology:
+1. Read the project's `.flightops/ARTIFACTS.md` to understand artifact storage
+2. Read `.flightops/FLIGHT_OPERATIONS.md` for the implementation workflow
+3. Use Mission Control skills for planning and execution
+
+### Available Skills
+
+| Skill | When to Use |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `/init-project` | Setting up a new project for Flight Control |
+| `/mission` | Defining new work outcomes (days-to-weeks scope) |
+| `/flight` | Creating technical specs from missions (hours-to-days scope) |
+| `/leg` | Generating implementation steps from flights (minutes-to-hours scope) |
+| `/agentic-workflow` | Executing legs with multi-agent workflow (implement, review, commit) |
+| `/flight-debrief` | Post-flight analysis after a flight lands |
+| `/mission-debrief` | Post-mission retrospective after completion |
+| `/daily-briefing` | Cross-project status report |
+
+### Key Rules
+
+- **Planning skills produce artifacts only** — never modify source code directly
+- **Phase gates require human confirmation** — missions before flights, flights before legs
+- **Legs are immutable once in-flight** — create new ones instead of modifying
+- **`/agentic-workflow` orchestrates implementation** — it spawns separate Developer and Reviewer agents
+- **Artifacts live in the target project** — not in mission-control"#;

+
+Triple-C (Claude-Code-Container) is a desktop application that runs Claude Code inside isolated Docker containers. Each project gets its own sandboxed environment with bind-mounted directories, so Claude only has access to the files you explicitly provide.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Docker
+
+Triple-C requires a running Docker daemon. Install one of the following:
+
+| Platform | Option | Link |
+|----------|--------|------|
+| **Windows** | Docker Desktop | https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/ |
+| **macOS** | Docker Desktop | https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/ |
+| **Linux** | Docker Engine | https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ |
+| **Linux** | Docker Desktop (alternative) | https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux/ |
+
+After installation, verify Docker is running:
+
+\`\`\`bash
+docker info
+\`\`\`
+
+> **Windows note:** Docker Desktop must be running before launching Triple-C. The app communicates with Docker through the named pipe at \`//./pipe/docker_engine\`.
+
+> **Linux note:** Your user must have permission to access the Docker socket (\`/var/run/docker.sock\`). Either add your user to the \`docker\` group (\`sudo usermod -aG docker $USER\`, then log out and back in) or run Docker in rootless mode.
+
+### Claude Code Account
+
+You need access to Claude Code through one of:
+
+- **Anthropic account** — Sign up at https://claude.ai and use \`claude login\` (OAuth) inside the terminal
+- **AWS Bedrock** — An AWS account with Bedrock access and Claude models enabled
+- **Ollama** — A local or remote Ollama server running an Anthropic-compatible model (best-effort support)
+- **LiteLLM** — A LiteLLM proxy gateway providing access to 100+ model providers (best-effort support)
+
+---
+
+## First Launch
+
+### 1. Get the Container Image
+
+When you first open Triple-C, go to the **Settings** tab in the sidebar. Under **Docker**, you'll see:
+
+- **Docker Status** — Should show "Connected" (green). If it shows "Not Available", make sure Docker is running.
+- **Image Status** — Will show "Not Found" on first launch.
+
+Choose an **Image Source**:
+
+| Source | Description | When to Use |
+|--------|-------------|-------------|
+| **Registry** | Pulls the pre-built image from \`repo.anhonesthost.net\` | Fastest setup — recommended for most users |
+| **Local Build** | Builds the image locally from the embedded Dockerfile | If you can't reach the registry, or want a custom build |
+| **Custom** | Use any Docker image you specify | Advanced — bring your own sandbox image |
+
+Click **Pull Image** (for Registry/Custom) or **Build Image** (for Local Build). A progress log will stream below the button. When complete, the status changes to "Ready" (green).
+
+### 2. Create Your First Project
+
+Switch to the **Projects** tab in the sidebar and click the **+** button.
+
+1. **Project Name** — Give it a meaningful name (e.g., "my-web-app").
+2. **Folders** — Click **Browse** to select a directory on your host machine. This directory will be mounted into the container at \`/workspace/<folder-name>\`. You can add multiple folders with the **+** button at the bottom of the folder list.
+3. Click **Add Project**.
+
+### 3. Start the Container
+
+Select your project in the sidebar and click **Start**. A progress modal appears showing real-time status as the container starts. The status dot changes from gray (stopped) to orange (starting) to green (running). The modal auto-closes on success.
+
+### 4. Open a Terminal
+
+Click the **Terminal** button to open an interactive terminal session. A new tab appears in the top bar and an xterm.js terminal loads in the main area.
+
+Claude Code launches automatically with \`--dangerously-skip-permissions\` inside the sandboxed container.
+
+### 5. Authenticate
+
+**Anthropic (OAuth) — default:**
+
+1. Type \`claude login\` or \`/login\` in the terminal.
+2. Claude prints an OAuth URL. Triple-C detects long URLs and shows a clickable toast at the top of the terminal — click **Open** to open it in your browser.
+3. Complete the login in your browser. The token is saved and persists across container stops and resets.
+
+**AWS Bedrock:**
+
+1. Stop the container first (settings can only be changed while stopped).
+2. In the project card, switch the backend to **Bedrock**.
+3. Expand the **Config** panel and fill in your AWS credentials (see AWS Bedrock Configuration below).
+4. Start the container again.
+
+**Ollama:**
+
+1. Stop the container first (settings can only be changed while stopped).
+2. In the project card, switch the backend to **Ollama**.
+3. Expand the **Config** panel and set the base URL of your Ollama server (defaults to \`http://host.docker.internal:11434\` for a local instance). Optionally set a model ID.
+4. Start the container again.
+
+**LiteLLM:**
+
+1. Stop the container first (settings can only be changed while stopped).
+2. In the project card, switch the backend to **LiteLLM**.
+3. Expand the **Config** panel and set the base URL of your LiteLLM proxy (defaults to \`http://host.docker.internal:4000\`). Optionally set an API key and model ID.
+4. Start the container again.
+

+
+## Project Management
+
+### Project Status
+
+Each project shows a colored status dot:
+
+| Color | Status | Meaning |
+|-------|--------|---------|
+| Gray | Stopped | Container is not running |
+| Orange | Starting / Stopping | Container is transitioning |
+| Green | Running | Container is active, ready for terminals |
+| Red | Error | Something went wrong (check error message) |
+
+### Project Actions
+
+Select a project in the sidebar to see its action buttons:
+
+| Button | When Available | What It Does |
+|--------|---------------|--------------|
+| **Start** | Stopped | Creates (if needed) and starts the container |
+| **Stop** | Running | Stops the container but preserves its state |
+| **Terminal** | Running | Opens a new Claude Code terminal session |
+| **Shell** | Running | Opens a bash login shell in the container (no Claude Code) |
+| **Files** | Running | Opens the file manager to browse, download, and upload files |
+| **Reset** | Stopped | Destroys and recreates the container from scratch |
+| **Config** | Always | Toggles the configuration panel |
+| **Remove** | Stopped | Deletes the project and its container (with confirmation) |
+
+### Renaming a Project
+
+Double-click the project name in the sidebar to rename it inline. Press **Enter** to confirm or **Escape** to cancel.
+
+### Container Lifecycle
+
+Containers use a **stop/start** model. When you stop a container, everything inside it is preserved — installed packages, modified files, downloaded tools. Starting it again resumes where you left off.
+
+**Reset** removes the container and creates a fresh one. However, your Claude Code configuration (including OAuth tokens from \`claude login\`) is stored in a separate Docker volume and survives resets.
+
+Only **Remove** deletes everything, including the config volume and any stored credentials.
+
+### Container Progress Feedback
+
+When starting, stopping, or resetting a container, a progress modal shows real-time status messages (e.g., "Setting up MCP network...", "Starting MCP containers...", "Creating container..."). If an error occurs, the modal displays the error with a **Close** button. A **Force Stop** option is available if the operation stalls. The modal auto-closes on success.
+
+---
+
+## Project Configuration
+
+Click **Config** on a selected project to expand the configuration panel. Settings can only be changed when the container is **stopped** (an orange warning box appears if the container is running).
+
+### Mounted Folders
+
+Each project mounts one or more host directories into the container. The mount appears at \`/workspace/<mount-name>\` inside the container.
+
+- Click **Browse** ("...") to change the host path
+- Edit the mount name to control where it appears inside \`/workspace/\`
+- Click **+** to add more folders, or **x** to remove one
+- Mount names must be unique and use only letters, numbers, dashes, underscores, and dots
+
+### SSH Keys
+
+Specify the path to your SSH key directory (typically \`~/.ssh\`). Keys are mounted read-only and copied into the container with correct permissions. This enables \`git clone\` via SSH inside the container.
+
+### Git Configuration
+
+- **Git Name / Email** — Sets \`git config user.name\` and \`user.email\` inside the container.
+- **Git HTTPS Token** — A personal access token (e.g., from GitHub) for HTTPS git operations. Stored securely in your OS keychain — never written to disk in plaintext.
+
+### Allow Container Spawning
+
+When enabled, the host Docker socket is mounted into the container so Claude Code can create sibling containers (e.g., for running databases, test environments). This is **off by default** for security.
+
+> Toggling this requires stopping and restarting the container to take effect.
+
+### Mission Control
+
+Toggle **Mission Control** to integrate Flight Control — an AI-first development methodology — into the project. When enabled:
+
+- The Flight Control repository is automatically cloned into the container
+- Flight Control skills are installed to Claude Code's skill directory (\`~/.claude/skills/\`)
+- Project instructions are appended with Flight Control workflow guidance
+- The repository is symlinked at \`/workspace/mission-control\`
+
+Available skills include \`/mission\`, \`/flight\`, \`/leg\`, \`/agentic-workflow\`, \`/flight-debrief\`, \`/mission-debrief\`, \`/daily-briefing\`, and \`/init-project\`.
+
+> This setting can only be changed when the container is stopped. Toggling it triggers a container recreation on the next start.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Click **Edit** to open the environment variables modal. Add key-value pairs that will be injected into the container. Per-project variables override global variables with the same key.
+
+> Reserved prefixes (\`ANTHROPIC_\`, \`AWS_\`, \`GIT_\`, \`HOST_\`, \`CLAUDE_\`, \`TRIPLE_C_\`) are filtered out to prevent conflicts with internal variables.
+
+### Port Mappings
+
+Click **Edit** to map host ports to container ports. This is useful when Claude Code starts a web server or other service inside the container and you want to access it from your host browser.
+
+Each mapping specifies:
+- **Host Port** — The port on your machine (1-65535)
+- **Container Port** — The port inside the container (1-65535)
+- **Protocol** — TCP (default) or UDP
+
+### Claude Instructions
+
+Click **Edit** to write per-project instructions for Claude Code. These are written to \`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md\` inside the container and provide project-specific context. If you also have global instructions (in Settings), the global instructions come first, followed by the per-project instructions.
+
+---
+
+## MCP Servers (Beta)
+
+Triple-C supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which extend Claude Code with access to external tools and data sources. MCP servers are configured in a **global library** and **enabled per-project**.
+
+### How It Works
+
+There are two dimensions to MCP server configuration:
+
+| | **Manual** (no Docker image) | **Docker** (Docker image specified) |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Stdio** | Command runs inside the project container | Command runs in a separate MCP container via \`docker exec\` |
+| **HTTP** | Connects to a URL you provide | Runs in a separate container, reached by hostname on a shared Docker network |
+
+**Docker images are pulled automatically** if not already present when the project starts.
+
+### Accessing MCP Configuration
+
+Click the **MCP** tab in the sidebar to open the MCP server library. This is where you define all available MCP servers.
+
+### Adding an MCP Server
+
+1. Type a name in the input field and click **Add**.
+2. Expand the server card and configure it.
+
+The key decision is whether to set a **Docker Image**:
+- **With Docker image** — The MCP server runs in its own isolated container. Best for servers that need specific dependencies or system-level packages.
+- **Without Docker image** (manual) — The command runs directly inside your project container. Best for lightweight npx-based servers that just need Node.js.
+
+Then choose the **Transport Type**:
+- **Stdio** — The MCP server communicates over stdin/stdout. This is the most common type.
+- **HTTP** — The MCP server exposes an HTTP endpoint (streamable HTTP transport).
+
+### Configuration Examples
+
+#### Example 1: Filesystem Server (Stdio, Manual)
+
+A simple npx-based server that runs inside the project container. No Docker image needed since Node.js is already installed.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | *(empty)* |
+| **Transport** | Stdio |
+| **Command** | \`npx\` |
+| **Arguments** | \`-y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /workspace\` |
+
+#### Example 2: GitHub Server (Stdio, Manual)
+
+Another npx-based server, with an environment variable for authentication.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | *(empty)* |
+| **Transport** | Stdio |
+| **Command** | \`npx\` |
+| **Arguments** | \`-y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github\` |
+| **Environment Variables** | \`GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN\` = \`ghp_your_token\` |
+
+#### Example 3: Custom MCP Server (HTTP, Docker)
+
+An MCP server packaged as a Docker image that exposes an HTTP endpoint.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | \`myregistry/my-mcp-server:latest\` |
+| **Transport** | HTTP |
+| **Container Port** | \`8080\` |
+| **Environment Variables** | \`API_KEY\` = \`your_key\` |
+
+#### Example 4: Database Server (Stdio, Docker)
+
+An MCP server that needs its own runtime environment, communicating over stdio.
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **Docker Image** | \`mcp/postgres-server:latest\` |
+| **Transport** | Stdio |
+| **Command** | \`node\` |
+| **Arguments** | \`dist/index.js\` |
+| **Environment Variables** | \`DATABASE_URL\` = \`postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db\` |
+
+### Enabling MCP Servers Per-Project
+
+In a project's configuration panel (click **Config**), the **MCP Servers** section shows checkboxes for all globally defined servers. Toggle each server on or off for that project. Changes take effect on the next container start.
+
+### How Docker-Based MCP Works
+
+When a project with Docker-based MCP servers starts:
+
+1. Missing Docker images are **automatically pulled** (progress shown in the progress modal)
+2. A dedicated **bridge network** is created for the project (\`triple-c-net-{projectId}\`)
+3. Each enabled Docker MCP server gets its own container on that network
+4. The main project container is connected to the same network
+5. MCP server configuration is written to \`~/.claude.json\` inside the container
+
+**Networking**: Docker-based MCP containers are reached by their container name as a hostname (e.g., \`triple-c-mcp-{serverId}\`), not by \`localhost\`. Docker DNS resolves these names automatically on the shared bridge network.
+
+**Stdio + Docker**: The project container uses \`docker exec\` to communicate with the MCP container over stdin/stdout. This automatically enables Docker socket access on the project container.
+
+**HTTP + Docker**: The project container connects to the MCP container's HTTP endpoint using the container hostname and port (e.g., \`http://triple-c-mcp-{serverId}:3000/mcp\`).
+
+**Manual (no Docker image)**: Stdio commands run directly inside the project container. HTTP URLs connect to wherever you point them (could be an external service or something running on the host).
+
+### Configuration Change Detection
+
+MCP server configuration is tracked via SHA-256 fingerprints stored as Docker labels. If you add, remove, or modify MCP servers for a project, the container is automatically recreated on the next start to apply the new configuration. The container filesystem is snapshotted first, so installed packages are preserved.
+
+---
+
+## AWS Bedrock Configuration
+
+To use Claude via AWS Bedrock instead of Anthropic's API, switch the backend to **Bedrock** on the project card.
+
+### Authentication Methods
+
+| Method | Fields | Use Case |
+|--------|--------|----------|
+| **Keys** | Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Session Token (optional) | Direct credentials — simplest setup |
+| **Profile** | AWS Profile name | Uses \`~/.aws/config\` and \`~/.aws/credentials\` on the host |
+| **Token** | Bearer Token | Temporary bearer token authentication |
+
+### Additional Bedrock Settings
+
+- **AWS Region** — Required. The region where your Bedrock models are deployed (e.g., \`us-east-1\`).
+- **Model ID** — Optional. Override the default Claude model (e.g., \`anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0\`).
+
+### Global AWS Defaults
+
+In **Settings > AWS Configuration**, you can set defaults that apply to all Bedrock projects:
+
+- **AWS Config Path** — Path to your \`~/.aws\` directory. Click **Detect** to auto-find it.
+- **Default Profile** — Select from profiles found in your AWS config.
+- **Default Region** — Fallback region for projects that don't specify one.
+
+Per-project settings always override these global defaults.
+
+---
+
+## Ollama Configuration
+
+To use Claude Code with a local or remote Ollama server, switch the backend to **Ollama** on the project card.
+
+### Settings
+
+- **Base URL** — The URL of your Ollama server. Defaults to \`http://host.docker.internal:11434\`, which reaches a locally running Ollama instance from inside the container. For a remote server, use its IP or hostname (e.g., \`http://192.168.1.100:11434\`).
+- **Model ID** — Optional. Override the model to use (e.g., \`qwen3.5:27b\`).
+
+### How It Works
+
+Triple-C sets \`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL\` to point Claude Code at your Ollama server instead of Anthropic's API. The \`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN\` is set to \`ollama\` (required by Claude Code but not used for actual authentication).
+
+> **Note:** Ollama support is best-effort. Claude Code is designed for Anthropic models, so some features (tool use, extended thinking, prompt caching, etc.) may not work as expected with non-Anthropic models.
+
+---
+
+## LiteLLM Configuration
+
+To use Claude Code through a LiteLLM proxy gateway, switch the backend to **LiteLLM** on the project card. LiteLLM supports 100+ model providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and more) through a single proxy.
+
+### Settings
+
+- **Base URL** — The URL of your LiteLLM proxy. Defaults to \`http://host.docker.internal:4000\` for a locally running proxy.
+- **API Key** — Optional. The API key for your LiteLLM proxy, if authentication is required. Stored securely in your OS keychain.
+- **Model ID** — Optional. Override the model to use.
+
+### How It Works
+
+Triple-C sets \`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL\` to point Claude Code at your LiteLLM proxy. If an API key is provided, it is set as \`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN\`.
+
+> **Note:** LiteLLM support is best-effort. Claude Code is designed for Anthropic models, so some features (tool use, extended thinking, prompt caching, etc.) may not work as expected when routing to non-Anthropic models through the proxy.
+
+---
+
+## Settings
+
+Access global settings via the **Settings** tab in the sidebar.
+
+### Docker Settings
+
+- **Docker Status** — Connection status to the Docker daemon.
+- **Image Source** — Where to get the sandbox container image (Registry, Local Build, or Custom).
+- **Pull / Build Image** — Download or build the image. Progress streams in real time.
+- **Refresh** — Re-check Docker and image status.
+
+### Container Timezone
+
+Set the timezone for all containers (IANA format, e.g., \`America/New_York\`, \`Europe/London\`, \`UTC\`). Auto-detected from your host on first launch. This affects scheduled task timing inside containers.
+
+### Global Claude Instructions
+
+Instructions applied to **all** projects. Written to \`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md\` in every container, before any per-project instructions.
+
+### Global Environment Variables
+
+Environment variables applied to **all** project containers. Per-project variables with the same key take precedence.
+
+### Updates
+
+- **Current Version** — The installed version of Triple-C.
+- **Auto-check** — Toggle automatic update checks (every 24 hours).
+- **Check now** — Manually check for updates.
+
+When an update is available, a pulsing **Update** button appears in the top bar. Click it to see release notes and download links.
+
+---
+
+## Terminal Features
+
+### Multiple Sessions
+
+You can open multiple terminal sessions (even for the same project). Each session gets its own tab in the top bar. Click a tab to switch, or click the **x** on a tab to close it. Tabs show the project name, with a "(bash)" suffix for shell sessions.
+
+### Bash Shell Sessions
+
+In addition to Claude Code terminals, you can open a plain **bash login shell** in any running container by clicking the **Shell** button. This is useful for manual inspection, package installation, debugging, or running commands that don't need Claude Code.
+
+### URL Detection
+
+When Claude Code prints a long URL (e.g., during \`claude login\`), Triple-C detects it and shows a toast notification at the top of the terminal with an **Open** button. Clicking it opens the URL in your default browser. The toast auto-dismisses after 30 seconds.
+
+Shorter URLs in terminal output are also clickable directly.
+
+### Clipboard Support (OSC 52)
+
+Programs inside the container can copy text to your host clipboard. When a container program uses \`xclip\`, \`xsel\`, or \`pbcopy\`, the text is transparently forwarded to your host clipboard via OSC 52 escape sequences. No additional configuration is required — this works out of the box.
+
+### Image Paste
+
+You can paste images from your clipboard into the terminal (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V). The image is uploaded to the container as \`/tmp/clipboard_<timestamp>.png\` and the file path is injected into the terminal input so Claude Code can reference it. A toast notification confirms the upload.
+
+### Jump to Current
+
+When you scroll up in the terminal to review previous output, a **Jump to Current** button appears in the bottom-right corner. Click it to scroll back to the latest output.
+
+### File Manager
+
+Click the **Files** button on a running project to open the file manager modal. You can:
+
+- **Browse** the container filesystem starting from \`/workspace\`, with breadcrumb navigation
+- **Download** any file to your host machine via the download button on each file entry
+- **Upload** files from your host into the current container directory
+- **Refresh** the directory listing at any time
+
+The file manager shows file names, sizes, and modification dates.
+
+### Terminal Rendering
+
+The terminal uses WebGL for hardware-accelerated rendering of the active tab. Inactive tabs fall back to canvas rendering to conserve GPU resources. The terminal automatically resizes when you resize the window.
+
+---
+
+## Scheduled Tasks (Inside the Container)
+
+Once inside a running container terminal, you can set up recurring or one-time tasks using \`triple-c-scheduler\`. Tasks run as separate Claude Code sessions.
+
+### Create a Recurring Task
+
+\`\`\`bash
+triple-c-scheduler add --name "daily-review" --schedule "0 9 * * *" --prompt "Review open issues and summarize"
+\`\`\`
+
+### Create a One-Time Task
+
+\`\`\`bash
+triple-c-scheduler add --name "migrate-db" --at "2026-03-05 14:00" --prompt "Run database migrations"
+\`\`\`
+
+One-time tasks automatically remove themselves after execution.
+
+### Manage Tasks
+
+\`\`\`bash
+triple-c-scheduler list                    # List all tasks
+triple-c-scheduler enable --id abc123      # Enable a task
+triple-c-scheduler disable --id abc123     # Disable a task
+triple-c-scheduler remove --id abc123      # Delete a task

+### Cron Schedule Format
+
+Standard 5-field cron: \`minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week\`
+
+| Example | Meaning |
+|---------|---------|
+| \`*/30 * * * *\` | Every 30 minutes |
+| \`0 9 * * 1-5\` | 9:00 AM on weekdays |
+| \`0 */2 * * *\` | Every 2 hours |
+| \`0 0 1 * *\` | Midnight on the 1st of each month |
+
+### Working Directory
+
+By default, tasks run in \`/workspace\`. Use \`--working-dir\` to specify a different directory:
+
+\`\`\`bash
+triple-c-scheduler add --name "test" --schedule "0 */6 * * *" --prompt "Run tests" --working-dir /workspace/my-project
+\`\`\`

+## What's Inside the Container
+
+The sandbox container (Ubuntu 24.04) comes pre-installed with:
+
+| Tool | Version | Purpose |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| Claude Code | Latest | AI coding assistant (the tool being sandboxed) |
+| Node.js | 22 LTS | JavaScript/TypeScript development |
+| pnpm | Latest | Fast Node.js package manager |
+| Python | 3.12 | Python development |
+| uv | Latest | Fast Python package manager |
+| ruff | Latest | Python linter/formatter |
+| Rust | Stable | Rust development (via rustup) |
+| Docker CLI | Latest | Container management (when spawning is enabled) |
+| git | Latest | Version control |
+| GitHub CLI (gh) | Latest | GitHub integration |
+| AWS CLI | v2 | AWS services and Bedrock |
+| ripgrep | Latest | Fast code search |
+| build-essential | — | C/C++ compiler toolchain |
+| openssh-client | — | SSH for git and remote access |
+
+The container also includes **clipboard shims** (\`xclip\`, \`xsel\`, \`pbcopy\`) that forward copy operations to the host via OSC 52, and an **audio shim** (\`rec\`, \`arecord\`) for future voice mode support.
+
+You can install additional tools at runtime with \`sudo apt install\`, \`pip install\`, \`npm install -g\`, etc. Installed packages persist across container stops (but not across resets).
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Docker is "Not Available"
+
+- **Is Docker running?** Start Docker Desktop or the Docker daemon (\`sudo systemctl start docker\`).
+- **Permissions?** On Linux, ensure your user is in the \`docker\` group or the socket is accessible.
+- **Custom socket path?** If your Docker socket is not at the default location, set it in Settings. The app expects \`/var/run/docker.sock\` on Linux/macOS or \`//./pipe/docker_engine\` on Windows.
+
+### Image is "Not Found"
+
+- Click **Pull Image** or **Build Image** in Settings > Docker.
+- If pulling fails, check your network connection and whether you can reach the registry.
+- Try switching to **Local Build** as an alternative.
+
+### Container Won't Start
+
+- Check that the Docker image is "Ready" in Settings.
+- Verify that the mounted folder paths exist on your host.
+- Look at the error message displayed in the progress modal.
+
+### OAuth Login URL Not Opening
+
+- Triple-C detects long URLs printed by \`claude login\` and shows a toast with an **Open** button.
+- If the toast doesn't appear, try scrolling up in the terminal — the URL may have already been printed.
+- You can also manually copy the URL from the terminal output and paste it into your browser.
+
+### File Permission Issues
+
+- Triple-C automatically remaps the container user's UID/GID to match your host user, so files created inside the container should have the correct ownership on your host.
+- If you see permission errors, try resetting the container (stop, then click **Reset**).
+
+### Settings Won't Save
+
+- Most project settings can only be changed when the container is **stopped**. Stop the container first, make your changes, then start it again.
+- Some changes (like toggling Docker access, Mission Control, or changing mounted folders) trigger an automatic container recreation on the next start.
+
+### MCP Containers Not Starting
+
+- Ensure the Docker image for the MCP server exists (pull it first if needed).
+- Check that Docker socket access is available (stdio + Docker MCP servers auto-enable this).
+- Try resetting the project container to force a clean recreation.`;
