# Channel Rules

- Each channel implements `src/channels/channel.interface.ts` (composite) and `src/channels/channel-core.interface.ts` (core ops)
- Channel-specific code stays in its own `src/channels/{name}/` directory
- Web channel binds to 127.0.0.1 only (security requirement)
- Media processing includes SSRF protection and magic byte validation
- All 9 channels: web, telegram, discord, slack, whatsapp, cli, matrix, irc, teams
- Don't introduce channel-specific dependencies into shared code
