Add Simulator

Add Agent Think Map

Install a live thinking canvas into this NanoClaw checkout. NanoClaw has no HTTP API; traces travel as kind: "trace" rows in outbound.db, and the host exposes them as SSE at /webhook/simulator.

Do not merge the channels or providers branches. Copy the files below, append the one-line barrel import, then stop.

Files to copy

Copy from the Agent Think Map repo (this skill's files/ directory) into the NanoClaw checkout:

| Source | Destination | | --- | --- | | files/container/agent-runner/src/trace-bridge.ts | container/agent-runner/src/trace-bridge.ts | | files/src/modules/simulator.ts | src/modules/simulator.ts | | files/public/simulator.html | public/simulator.html |

Overwrite if the files already exist (idempotent re-run).

Wire the host module

Append this import to src/modules/index.ts if it is not already present:

import './simulator.js';

If src/modules/index.ts does not exist, append the same line to the host module barrel that already imports scheduling/permissions (search for onHostStart or registerWebhookHandler usages and put the import next to the other module imports).

Wire the runner

In container/agent-runner/src/poll-loop.ts (or the file that calls provider.query()), import and wrap the query iterator:

import { emitTraceFromQuery } from './trace-bridge.ts';

Around the existing provider.query(...) loop, replace the raw iterator with:

const traced = emitTraceFromQuery(provider.query(prompt, options), {
  runId: sessionId,
  prompt: userText,
  writeTrace: (row) => writeMessageOut(row),
});
for await (const message of traced) {
  // existing message handling unchanged
}

Enable partial streaming on the query options if the provider is Claude:

options.includePartialMessages = true;

writeMessageOut must persist row.kind === 'trace' into outbound.db messages_out the same way chat rows are written. If the writer rejects unknown kinds, add 'trace' to the allow-list.

Restart

Restart the host so the webhook handler registers:

ncl groups restart --id 

Open http://127.0.0.1:$WEBHOOK_PORT/webhook/simulator for SSE, and public/simulator.html (or serve it) to mount ``.

Verify

1. Send a message that should load a skill or call an MCP tool.
2. Confirm messages_out contains rows with kind = 'trace'.
3. Confirm the canvas grows a skill/tool/MCP node with a why line.

If any step cannot be applied mechanically, follow the prose beside it. Do not merge git branches.
