Chats

Command	Purpose
vatio chat "message" [--env NAME] [--timeout N]	Talk as the CLI token holder; default preview, timeout 120 seconds
vatio chat transcript [--env NAME] [--last N]	Read the current CLI chat as the visitor saw it; default 10 messages
vatio chat debug [--env NAME] [--last N]	The same chat with everything: tool calls, deleted messages, identity, delivery
vatio chat reset [--env NAME]	Start a new CLI conversation with a fresh contact
vatio chat destroy CHAT_ID	Delete a conversation

debug is the one to reach for when an answer is wrong: it shows which tools ran, what they returned, and whether the workspace recognized the visitor.

The CLI channel identifies the developer holding the token; it does not simulate a customer's identity. Test on the real channel when identity or delivery is what you are checking.

chat --env live creates a real live conversation — billed, and visible in the inbox.

Current chats are remembered per environment in .vatio-chat.json. Add that file to your repository's .gitignore.
