+**`read_document`** lets the assistant look at a document's current content before touching it, rather
+than acting on what it remembers having written earlier in the conversation.

+**`patch_document`** replaces one exact piece of text with another, so a correction no longer requires
+resending the rest of the document unchanged. It refuses to guess: if the text to replace does not
+appear, or appears more than once, nothing is changed.

+**Self-hosters:** nothing to do. No schema or configuration changed — the assistant simply has two
+more tools available in every conversation.
