 - **No publish secrets:** npm uses **Trusted Publishing (OIDC)** (`id-token: write`, npm ≥ 11.5.1, SLSA provenance); the registry uses GitHub OIDC. The npm package is `olkcli`; the binary is `olk`.
 - The official MCP registry has no in-place edit — `server.json` description/version changes apply on the **next release** (versions are CI-stamped from the tag). `npm-publish`/`registry-publish` are gated on the `PUBLISH_NPM` repo variable.
 - **Fork npm distribution (`@planmonster`) — `publish-npm.yml`, this fork only.** An `npm-vX.Y.Z-<suffix>` tag (or a `workflow_dispatch` with `dry_run`) builds all six binaries (linux/windows on Blacksmith with `CGO_ENABLED=0`; darwin on `macos-latest` with `CGO_ENABLED=1`) and publishes `@planmonster/olkcli` + six `@planmonster/olk-<os>-<arch>` packages to npmjs.org via Trusted Publishing. The tag prefix is `npm-v`, not `v`, so it does not also fire `release.yml`. Versions **must** carry a fork suffix (e.g. `1.10.0-pm.1`); the workflow rejects a bare `X.Y.Z` because upstream owns those numbers. Because the suffix makes every version a semver prerelease, the dist-tag must always be explicit — `build-npm.mjs` defaults it to `latest` and stamps `publishConfig.tag`. `scripts/build-npm.mjs` also takes `--scope`, `--registry`, `--repository`, `--access`, and `--skip-binary-check` (bootstrap only); re-scoping is idempotent. All seven names now exist on npmjs.org (bootstrapped at `1.10.0-pm.1` with `scripts/bootstrap-npm.sh`). See `docs/npm-publishing.md`.
+- **Fork GitHub assets — `release-planmonster.yml`, GitHub Release only.** A tag matching `olk-pm-vX.Y.Z.N` builds six checksummed native archives and creates a GitHub Release. The namespace cannot match upstream `v*` or fork npm `npm-v*`; the workflow does not invoke GoReleaser, Homebrew, npm, or the MCP Registry. NanoClaw consumes `olk_X.Y.Z.N_linux_amd64.tar.gz`. Never move/reuse a tag; increment `N`. See `docs/github-releases.md`.
 - `release.yml` is the **upstream** pipeline and cannot run on this fork: the unscoped npm names belong to upstream, `TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN` does not exist here, and `io.github.rlrghb/outlook` is not our MCP namespace. Leave it inert rather than repurposing it.
 - **ClawHub (OpenClaw skill) — manual, separate from the tag pipeline.** olk is listed on ClawHub as a **skill** from `SKILL.md`. Publish with the `clawhub` CLI (publisher `rlrghb`; `clawhub whoami` / `clawhub login`) from a folder containing **only `SKILL.md`** — `mkdir -p /tmp/olk-skill && cp SKILL.md /tmp/olk-skill/`, then `clawhub skill publish /tmp/olk-skill --slug olk --name Outlook --version <X.Y.Z> --tags calendar,contacts,drive,latest,mail,microsoft,onedrive,outlook,tasks --changelog '…'`. The skill version is **independent of the binary** — align it to the release. Display name is `Outlook` (pass `--name`; `SKILL.md`'s `name: olk` is only the slug). The summary comes from `SKILL.md` `description:`; **category** ("DATA & APIS") is web-UI only. **No `--dry-run`** — verify the live entry with `clawhub inspect olk` and confirm before publishing.

 - **Lazy client init**: `RunContext.GraphClient()` initializes on first call — auth commands don't need a Graph client.
 - **Delegated mailbox routing**: read paths in `internal/graphapi/{mail,calendar,contacts}.go` take a `target string` first parameter and route through `c.targetUser(target)`. Empty target preserves `/me` behavior; a non-empty value hits `/users/{target}/…`. The CLI exposes this as the global `--mailbox` flag (env `OLK_MAILBOX`), validated once via `resolveMailboxTarget` in `internal/cmd/paging.go`. New read methods should follow the same shape; write paths intentionally stay on `/me` for now.
 - **MCP server**: `olk mcp` (`internal/cmd/mcp*.go`) exposes a curated, read-first allowlist of tools over stdio — not the whole CLI. Tool calls reparse argv and run in-process with stdout captured. Read-only by default; `--allow-write <tool>` exposes a named curated safe-write tool (per-tool opt-in). No HTTP transport (deliberate scope choice). To expose a command, add it to `curatedTools` (read or non-destructive write only).
-- **Token mode (credential injection)** — `internal/cmd/token.go`. When `--access-token` / `OLK_ACCESS_TOKEN` is set, olk becomes a pure consumer of an externally minted **delegated Graph access token**: it never touches the keyring, the account files, or the default-account config; it never refreshes; it never persists the token. The token's lifetime is the process's lifetime. This exists so a disposable environment (CI, container, agent sandbox) holds no durable refresh token — a container-local keyring would both leak a long-lived credential and race Microsoft's refresh-token rotation across concurrent containers.

   - `newTokenMode()` **fails closed**: an unparseable or already-passed `OLK_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_AT` is an error raised *before* any network call and before any credential store is touched. A nil `*tokenMode` means account mode (the normal keyring path) — preserve that distinction when adding flags.
   - Expiry maps to the dedicated exit code **77** (`exitTokenExpired`) via the `errTokenExpired` sentinel, so an orchestrator can mint a fresh token instead of treating the run as a hard failure. Do not fold it into the generic exit 1.
   - With no supplied expiry, the Azure SDK is told `nominalTokenLifetime` (30 min) because a zero expiry makes its credential pipeline refuse to send the request; Graph's `401` is then the authority.

 ### Field Selection
 
 ```bash
-olk mail list --select from,subject
+olk mail list --json --select id,from,subject,receivedDateTime
 ```
 
+For `mail list --json`, `--select` is both a Microsoft Graph projection and a
+JSON output projection: each result contains only the requested fields.
+Supported fields are `id`, `subject`, `from`, `toRecipients` (rendered as
+`to`), `ccRecipients` (rendered as `cc`), `bccRecipients` (rendered as
+`bcc`), `replyTo`, `receivedDateTime`, `isRead`, `hasAttachments`,
+`bodyPreview`, `categories`, and `conversationId`. Empty, duplicate, unknown,
+or unrenderable fields are rejected before any Graph request. Without
+`--select`, default JSON list output includes all recipient classes (`to`,
+`cc`, `bcc`, and `replyTo`) so callers can preserve complete message evidence.
+
+### Bounded Mail Lists
+
+```bash
+# Return at most 1,000 inbox messages, oldest first
+olk mail list --folder inbox --top 1000 --order oldest --json --results-only
+```
+
+`--order` accepts `newest` (the default) or `oldest`. `--top` is the total
+result bound for the command, not a per-page size: `olk` follows provider pages
+internally until it reaches that bound or Microsoft Graph returns a terminal
+page. A terminal page before the bound is a successful short result containing
+every available matching message.
+
+`--order` cannot be combined with `--focused` or `--other`. Those
+classification filters use Microsoft Graph's provider order; `olk` does not
+fall back to client-side sorting, expose a raw Graph response, or return a
+partial or guessed ordering.
+
+Provider continuation URLs remain opaque and internal. A completed `mail list`
+JSON envelope therefore has an empty `nextLink`; raw continuations are never
+exposed for callers to replay. Traversal fails closed: an invalid, unexpected,
+non-progressing, or repeated continuation, a duplicate or missing message ID,
+cancellation, or a request failure returns an error and no partial list.

 - **Opt into safe writes per-tool** by naming each one: `olk mcp --allow-write mail_flag` (repeatable, or `OLK_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE=mail_flag,todo_update`). The eligible writes are all **non-send and either non-destructive or reversible** — nothing sends a message/invite and nothing is hard-deleted: `mail_drafts_create`, `mail_flag`, `mail_categorize`, `mail_mark`, `mail_move`, `mail_folders_create`, `mail_folders_rename`, `contacts_create`, `contacts_update`, `todo_create`, `todo_update`, `todo_complete`. Nothing is exposed by default; naming a write is a deliberate action separate from starting the server (defense in depth), and `--allow-tool write` can opt into the whole class at once.
 - **Send and delete are separate, harder opt-ins** — they are *not* covered by `--allow-write`. A tool that transmits to other people needs `--allow-send <tool>` (`mail_send`, `mail_reply`, `mail_forward`, `mail_drafts_send`, `calendar_respond`, `calendar_create`, `calendar_update`); a tool that hard-deletes needs `--allow-destructive <tool>` (`mail_delete`, `calendar_delete`, `contacts_delete`, `todo_delete`). Both tiers are off by default and **defense-in-depth gated**: `--no-send` hides (and the API layer vetoes) every send tool even when named, and `--no-write` hides/vetoes every send *and* destructive tool — so `olk mcp --no-send --allow-send mail_send` exposes nothing. Destructive tools are auto-confirmed (the MCP layer supplies the `--force` a human would type), because naming `--allow-destructive` is itself the deliberate confirmation.
 - **Narrow the exposed set with `--allow-tool`** (`OLK_MCP_ALLOW_TOOL`, repeatable/csv). Selectors are an exact name (`mail_list`), a prefix glob (`mail_*`, or `mail.*`), or a category (`read`, `write`, `all`). E.g. `olk mcp --allow-tool 'mail.*' --allow-tool calendar_events` exposes only the mail tools plus that one calendar tool. This narrows tools by name; it never grants a write that `--allow-write` hasn't already enabled.

+
+`--order` accepts `newest` (the default) or `oldest`. `--top` bounds the total
+result, not each provider page. `olk` follows pages internally until it reaches
+the bound or Graph returns a terminal page; reaching the terminal page early is
+a successful short result containing all available matches. Provider
+continuations stay opaque and are never returned for callers to replay.
+Traversal fails closed: an unsafe, unexpected, non-progressing, or repeated
+continuation, duplicate or missing message ID, cancellation, or request error
+returns no partial list.
+
+`mail thread --complete` applies the same fail-closed traversal to one
+conversation and returns only after Graph has supplied a terminal page. Use it
+when complete thread evidence is required; the default thread command remains
+bounded by `--top`.
+
+`--order` cannot be combined with `--focused` or `--other`. Those
+classification filters use Graph's provider order; `olk` does not fall back to
+client-side sorting, expose a raw Graph response, or return a partial or
+guessed ordering.
+
+With `mail list --json`, `--select` projects both the Graph request and the JSON
+result. Supported fields are `id`, `subject`, `from`, `toRecipients` (rendered
+as `to`), `ccRecipients` (rendered as `cc`), `bccRecipients` (rendered as
+`bcc`), `replyTo`, `receivedDateTime`, `isRead`, `hasAttachments`,
+`bodyPreview`, `categories`, and `conversationId`. Empty, duplicate, unknown,
+or unrenderable fields fail locally before Graph is called. Without `--select`,
+default JSON list output includes all recipient classes (`to`, `cc`, `bcc`, and
+`replyTo`) so callers can preserve complete message evidence. A completed JSON
+envelope has an empty `nextLink`; raw provider continuations are not exposed.

+# PlanMonster GitHub Release Assets
+
+NanoClaw and other snapshot installers can consume native binaries from a
+fork-owned GitHub Release without invoking any upstream publication channel.
+
+## Tag and asset contract
+
+Push a tag matching:
+
+```text
+olk-pm-v<upstream-major>.<upstream-minor>.<upstream-patch>.<fork-revision>
+```
+
+For the first PlanMonster build based on upstream 1.11.0, use
+`olk-pm-v1.11.0.1`. Increment only the final fork revision for another build of
+the same upstream version. This namespace cannot match either upstream
+`release.yml` (`v*`) or the fork npm workflow (`npm-v*`).
+
+The workflow creates a GitHub Release with six archives and `checksums.txt`.
+For `olk-pm-v1.11.0.1`, NanoClaw's Linux AMD64 asset is exactly:
+
+```text
+olk_1.11.0.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz
+```
+
+The archive contains one executable named `olk`. Other assets use the same
+`olk_<version>_<os>_<arch>` shape; Windows archives are `.zip`, and all others
+are `.tar.gz`.
+
+## Verify and install Linux AMD64
+
+```bash
+tag=olk-pm-v1.11.0.1
+version=${tag#olk-pm-v}
+asset="olk_${version}_linux_amd64.tar.gz"
+
+gh release download "$tag" \
+  --repo PlanMonster/olkcli \
+  --pattern "$asset" \
+  --pattern checksums.txt
+grep "  ${asset}$" checksums.txt | sha256sum --check -
+tar -xzf "$asset"
+./olk version --json
+```
+
+Do not install an asset unless its checksum passes.
+
+## Release procedure
+
+1. Merge the tested release PR to PlanMonster `main` without rewriting history.
+2. Confirm CI passed on the merge commit and the working tree is clean.
+3. Create the new fork-owned tag on that exact merge commit:
+   `git tag olk-pm-v1.11.0.1`.
+4. Push only that tag: `git push origin olk-pm-v1.11.0.1`.
+5. Watch **Release (GitHub assets, PlanMonster)**. It validates the tag, builds
+   Linux/Windows with CGO disabled and macOS with CGO enabled, checks all six
+   archives, smoke-tests Linux AMD64, generates and verifies SHA-256 checksums,
+   and creates one GitHub Release.
+6. Download the Linux AMD64 archive and `checksums.txt`, then independently run
+   the verification commands above before updating NanoClaw's pinned snapshot.
+
+The workflow does not call GoReleaser or either existing publication workflow.
+It cannot publish Homebrew, npm, or MCP Registry artifacts. It also refuses to
+overwrite an existing GitHub Release because `gh release create` fails when the
+tag already has one. Never move or reuse a release tag; increment the final fork
+revision instead.

+`OLK_ACCESS_TOKEN` is environment-only; olk deliberately has no
+`--access-token` option. `OLK_ACCOUNT_EMAIL` is a backward-compatible display
+hint, not an authoritative identity and never an authorization input.
+
 With an injected token the CLI reads no keyring and creates no configuration
 directory. If the token is expired, the CLI stops before the first request and
 returns exit code 77.
