The setting is hot-read by existing account runtimes; chat sources are unaffected.
 
 Subreddit `type` is `image` or `chat`. Conversation policy contains `mode`, `maxAutomatedTurns`, and `rapportTurnsBeforeMediaAsk`; hybrid rapport turns must be lower than the maximum.

 ## Reply-first conversation automation
 
+Explicit bot clients can send to a username through `POST /api/v1/messages` or the MCP `send_message_to_user` tool without selecting an account. The selector compares cached conversations case-insensitively and reuses the account that most recently interacted with that recipient. If no conversation exists, it chooses an authenticated running account with no invitation cooldown, preferring the lowest hourly send count. The selected account's normal rate limiter still owns the send. An API reply to an existing conversation marks automation as user-overridden so autonomous replies do not race the external caller.
+
 Each account runtime refreshes recent chats and processes actionable inbound conversations oldest-first before it can accept new outreach. After the initial conservative startup scan, the persisted latest Matrix message event plus the worker's prior-scan watermark is authoritative: a newly observed inbound event newer than the confirmed opener remains actionable even if Matrix's presentation-only unread notification count has already returned to zero. On startup, read-marked rooms without a pending reply claim are not revived. Durable event claims, conversation policy state, and a later outbound event prevent duplicate replies.
 
 Outgoing Matrix events are attributed against the recorded opener, durable automated-reply fingerprints, and confirmed exchange-library event records. If synchronization observes an unmatched outgoing message, the conversation becomes operator-owned before another reply can be generated. An unmatched outgoing message also supersedes, rather than confirms, a pending automated claim; only the claimed reply text can reconcile that claim as sent.

 ## Candidate policy
 
@@ -30,6 +30,8 @@ Configured subreddits have a source type:
 - `image`: image-led posts are downloaded and analyzed before an opener is generated.
 - `chat`: text-led posts require a parseable self-declared gender and adult age, then use the chat-opener prompt.
 
+Image analysis may produce a subjective 1–10 visible-physique score. It is not a medical assessment and remains unknown when the image does not show enough of the body for a grounded judgment. Physique targeting is disabled by default. When an operator enables an inclusive minimum/maximum range, image candidates outside that range—and unscorable image candidates—are rejected before opener generation; chat candidates are unaffected.
+
 Seller filtering combines the candidate post with Reddit profile/about and recent activity evidence. The default policy treats Telegram names and links as seller signals alongside paid-content platforms and payment prompts. The configured keyword/domain lists are policy inputs, not a substitute for the surrounding screening flow. A profile lookup failure is not itself proof that a person is a seller; network and rate-limit failures must remain distinguishable from a rejection.
 
 The system must not manufacture personal facts. Generated messages must not claim shared location or proximity, invite an in-person meeting, invent identity/history, or ignore a conversation boundary. The final outbound safety check is intentionally separate from prompt wording.
