 ## Project Context
 
 - User wants to deploy "grill-me" plugin for Claude Code
@@ -37,13 +40,12 @@ This file stores important information that should persist across sessions.
 - User explicitly rejected unified/Mega session approach; prefers connecting to older existing sessions instead
 - Telegram slash commands (e.g., `/skills`) are filtered out by `& ~filters.COMMAND` in telegram.py:384; workaround: invoke skills without slash prefix (e.g., `skills` not `/skills`); alternative fix: remove the filter from MessageHandler
 - nanobot v0.2.1 available (current: v0.2.0)
-- User completed detached background research on the movie *Interstate 60* (slug: `interstate-60-movie-research`)
-- User archived the completed detached task `interstate-60-movie-research` on 2026-06-02
 - User wants deterministic IRC-bot-style command dispatch in nanobot where `!command text` invokes a registered Python function or external app and returns output without LLM agent involvement
 - User expects nanobot creators to implement custom command registration natively and considers existing workaround solutions unsatisfactory
-- User requested patch study only with no actual code changes for nanobot IRC-bot command dispatch feature
 - Nanobot CommandRouter has priority/exact/prefix/interceptor tiers but lacks an extension point for custom command registration with all handlers hardcoded in builtin.py
 - Proposed nanobot patch adds a custom command tier to CommandRouter dispatching before session lock configured via `commands` section in config.json supporting exec script and python module/function handler types
+- `AgentLoop.__init__` does not accept a `config` parameter; custom command loading must happen in `from_config()` after instance creation, guarded by `_custom_commands_loaded` flag to prevent duplicate registration
+- Custom commands are dispatched inline before the session lock, same pattern as priority commands
