notifications to webhooks, Slack, Discord and Matterbridge. Everything that happens in Lens (new assets, emails,
calendar events, files, what people say to Lens, sensor readings, notes, graph changes, runs, budget warnings) is kept
as a stream of activities in W3C Activity Streams form, which agents read through the API, MCP and the assistant, and
people review on the Timeline page (and Latest on Home), marking what they've seen. Automations act on that stream, on
a schedule, at a time or when their own webhook is called: they test conditions, then tell you in your own chat app,
ask the model or the agent, use a tool, call a web address (its credentials kept sealed), run a workflow, pipeline or
routine, or change assets and notes. Anything that reaches outside Lens or changes more than what set it off asks
first, until you let it run on its own: on the Approvals page or, for a change inside Lens, with a yes in the chat it
told you in; agents can decline an approval but never give one. Each automation has limits and budgets, and agents
make, try and run them over MCP and in the assistant, or draft one from a sentence; the studio to draw them in the web
app is planned. ([Processing](docs/processing.md#workflows-and-the-canvas), [notifications](docs/notifications.md),

Setup asks for one overall budget after a cloud model, with a soft limit that warns and a hard limit that stops paid
calls. A meter in the top bar shows spend against the budget, and the Costs page breaks it down by day, model and
