Active
/node with no argument is a short card for the current project: name, description (at most 150 characters), heartbeat on or off, and how many harness turns are running or waiting (same counts as /session).
With no catalog, /node reports the single working directory (TELEKIT_WORKING_DIR). /node ~/path/ still seats a folder.
List
/node list prints a table of named projects on this Mac, when a catalog is present.
- • = active
- (apex) = the top-level project
list is a reserved word. A project can be named list; /node list still prints the table. Switch that project with a unique prefix (/node lis) when it is unambiguous.
Switch
/node project — case does not matter. A unique prefix works. A multi-word id is the rest of the line (/node Test Node).
Ambiguous prefix → refused, candidates listed, nothing switched.
Files not on this Mac → refused, active node unchanged.
/node apex
Reserved handle for the top-level project on this Mac. Portable. Not a grant — without access to that project it is refused like an unknown name.
If a real project is also named apex and is not the top-level one, the handle wins and the reply says so. That project stays reachable by a shorter unique prefix.
Folders
/node ~/path/ seats later turns in that folder. Owner only. The path is expanded like a terminal path. A trailing slash is added if you skip it. A missing directory is refused.
/node home returns to the configured working directory (TELEKIT_WORKING_DIR).
Adding projects
/node add and /node rm are retired. You cannot create named catalog entries from Telegram. Point at a folder with /node ~/path/, or set TELEKIT_WORKING_DIR.
Relock
Default: switching node locks the new lane.telekit passcode relock-on-node-switch off carries the remaining unlock TTL. It never grants a node you do not already have.
