Correct and restructure the docs
- rag_example: rewrite for current haiku.rag. The MCP server is
  `haiku-rag mcp` and opens the database read-only, so documents are
  added with the CLI; the page described `serve`, SQLite storage and
  add/delete tools that no longer exist.
- mcp: stdio servers accept cwd and inherit HOME, LOGNAME, PATH, SHELL,
  TERM and USER.
- app_config: each openaiCompatible endpoint is its own provider;
  XDG_DATA_HOME applies everywhere but Windows; list
  OTERM_OLLAMA_IMAGE_MODEL and everything under OTERM_DATA_DIR.
- commands: add Copy message, an Images section and the command-line
  options; clicking a code block copies the whole message.
- installation: document the speak extra and nix updates; drop the
  0.13.1 tap note.
- development: uv-based setup; docs are built with Zensical.
- One H1 per page; no em dashes.
- README points at the CHANGELOG; drop the stale announcement banner.

Chat parameters

When creating a new chat, you may select the provider and model you want and customize the following:

  • system instruction prompt
  • tools used. See Tools for more information on how to make tools available.
  • chat parameters passed to the model: temperature, top_p, max_tokens and seed.
  • enable thinking for models that support it.

!!! note When thinking is enabled you will observe the model thinking while generating its response. The thinking process is not persisted in the database in order to save context, so you will not see it on later sessions.

You can also "edit" an existing chat to change the system prompt, parameters, tools, or thinking. The provider and model cannot be changed after the chat is created.

Provider and model selection The new-chat screen, where you pick the provider and model and customize the system prompt, tools, parameters, and thinking.
