+If you already use Honcho with other tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes), the extension reads from `~/.honcho/config.json` on startup when resolvable keys are present. Resolution order: `hosts.sillytavern.apiKey` → root-level `apiKey` → fall through to the Extensions-panel key if neither resolves.

+### Peer Observability
+
+By default, only the user peer accumulates derived memory — Honcho observes the user's messages and derives conclusions across sessions. The AI character's persona comes from its character card, not from peer derivation. If you want the character to have its own Honcho-derived state, configure it as an additional peer in session setup.
