-| `BundleCommand` (`lib/samagotchi/bundle_command.rb`) | `chi bundle install/upgrade/uninstall/status/diff/list/build/trash/new/test/check/try` (`install --dev`: the Installer's `dev:`, links and `Provenance::DEV_SHA`); runs the Installer, prints its summary, runs the conflict agent step; refuses a source already installed under another name (`installed_under_another_name?`: a git URL bundle recorded under its repo's name before the manifest named it) |
+| `BundleCommand` (`lib/samagotchi/bundle_command.rb`) | `chi bundle install/upgrade/uninstall/status/diff/list/build/trash/new/test/check/try` (`install --dev`: the Installer's `dev:`, links and `Provenance::DEV_SHA`); runs the Installer, prints its summary, runs the conflict agent step; refuses a source already installed under another name (`installed_under_another_name?`: a git URL bundle recorded under its repo's name before the manifest named it). `upgrade` resolves its argument by `upgrade_source`: a git URL or an existing path, then a shipped name, then the bare name of an installed bundle — whose record's source it then uses (a git URL with its `#ref`, a dir or an archive that is still there), printed as `Upgrading NAME from SOURCE`; a dev record is refused with `Installer.dev_install_line`, a recorded source that is relative, empty or gone says so and asks for the path or URL of a copy (`Installer.source_gone_line`, the words `ManifestStanding` uses too) |
 | `BundleCommand::Check` (bundle_command/check.rb) | `chi bundle check [PATH] [--fix] [--set K=V]`: a bundle being written, checked as an install takes it (docs/cli.md lists the codes); parses the manifest from `Shas.parseable` (a placeholder sha is a `sha` finding, not a YAML error), reads the user's installed bundles only for `clash`, and installs and loads through `Testing::Install` in a `Testing::Sandbox` with `force: true`, the log's echoes swallowed |
-| `BundleCommand::Try` (`bundle_command/try/`) | `chi bundle try PATH -p TEXT`: `Command` (its flags, help and checks) drives the rest and `Render` prints the trace; a filtered-config `Sandbox` (its folders a `SandboxLayout`, the layout `Testing::Sandbox` uses too) installs the tried bundle and shipped `guardrails` / `cost-cap` in a separate child, then `Run` starts one non-interactive chi process from its realpath work dir; `TraceReader` reads that session's analytics, cards (`Bridge::CardStore.saved`, as the web does) and session JSON by id (never `Session.list`), joining timing and tool args for text or experimental JSON output (a turn a `--timeout` interrupt cut keeps its calls like a Ctrl-C, the one cut short answered as interrupted, so its rows come from the saved calls too; `Run::Result#timed_out` becomes `timed_out`). `Sandbox#child_env` is a Hash, never an ENV mutation; it keeps ordinary user model settings and Keychain access while dropping the spawner's session/guardrail/worker markers (`ChildEnv`, the scrub a session's worker spawn uses too). The child runs in its own process group: a `--timeout` sends it INT, then `ProcessGroup.stop` (the groups its processes started too); after any exit the group is signalled only while a straggler is still in it, never a reaped group. `Sandbox#stop_leftovers` (before the trace, and in `cleanup`) stops what left the child's tree, found by the sandbox's own records: a delegate's worker by its session's `owner.lock`, a task by its running `task.json` whose pid still leads its group. |

Every dropped key is sent as nil, so the child really lacks it: a spawn env is merged onto the spawner's, so a key only deleted from the Hash is still inherited (`ChildEnv.spawn_env`). The child runs in its own process group: a `--timeout` sends it INT, then `ProcessGroup.stop` (the groups its processes started too); after any exit the group is signalled only while a straggler is still in it, never a reaped group. `Sandbox#stop_leftovers` (before the trace, and in `cleanup`) stops what left the child's tree, found by the sandbox's own records: a delegate's worker by its session's `owner.lock`, a task by its running `task.json` whose pid still leads its group. |
 | `BundleCommand::ApiCalls` (bundle_command/api_calls.rb) | what a plugin's source calls of the API, by Prism: `#findings` (a call or keyword the API's classes lack, `check`'s `api`), `#keywords` (the floor check's `call(keyword:)`). Its only list is `MEMBERS`, which object a member gives (`ctx.sessions` → `Plugin::Sessions`); a new such object joins it |
 | `BundleCommand::Scaffold` (bundle_command/scaffold.rb) | `chi bundle new NAME`: the starting files (block-form `plugin:` entry, `requires_chi` at this chi, a kit test that passes as written); the manifest's shas are filled through `Shas.refresh` |
 | `BundleCommand::TestRun` (bundle_command/test_run.rb) | `chi bundle test`: `RbConfig.ruby -I <chi's lib>` on `test/**/*_test.rb` (Minitest) or `spec/` (RSpec, as `rake bundles:specs`), under `Bundler.with_unbundled_env` when Bundler's runtime is loaded |
 | `Shas` (shas.rb) | a manifest's `sha256:` lines: `.refresh(dir[, text])` rewrites them line by line (the layout kept; a `files:` entry it can't place raises `Shas::Error`), `.stale` → `[Stale(file, old, new)]` (`old` `""` for a placeholder, nil for a plugin / hook / script entry with no sha line), `.parseable` (a placeholder `sha256: sha256:` isn't YAML). Plain Ruby: `rake bundles:sha` / `bundles:check` (`script/release/release_tools.rb`) and `chi bundle check --fix` share it |
+| `FileDigest` (file_digest.rb) | the one digest of a file on disk: `.hex(path)` (its bytes, streamed; nil when the path isn't a file, a raise for one that can't be read), `.sha256(path)` = `"sha256:<hex>"`, nil with no file — the shape a record writes for a hook, rule, plugin or script. `Provenance.file_sha`, `Merger.digest`, `Status.checksum`, `InstalledBundle#source_sha`, `FileStanding.differs?` and the Installer's checksum verifiers all go through it; a digest of bytes already in memory (a merge's text, a memory's content that is also its base) stays with the code holding them |
 | `SourceNormalizer` (source.rb) | source → local dir; a git/zip/tar extract is *owned* and removed after the install |
 | `SourceIdentity` (source.rb) | what a source is, for comparing two installs of one name: `shipped:<dir>` (any gem or checkout), `git:<url>` (no `#ref`, trailing `/` or `.git`), `path:<realpath>`; nil when it can't place one |
 | `PreparedSource` (source.rb) | one source normalized once (dir, owned, git commit): `BundleCommand` reads the bundle's name from its `manifest.yml` (the name for every kind of source, a git URL too) and hands it to the Installer (`prepared:`), so a source is cloned or extracted once per command |
 | `MemoryFiles` | which top-level `*.md` files of a bundle are its memories (`.select`: the `files:` list, else all but README/LICENSE and the like), `.unshipped` (listed, not shipped) and `.symlinks` (skipped: a symlink is never a memory) |
-| `Manifest` | parses/validates `manifest.yml` (`name:` is the bundle's name and a directory under `.bundles/`, so a path such as `../x`, `a/b`, `.` or `..` is refused: `name: … is not a bundle name`; YAML that doesn't parse or isn't a mapping is a `ValidationError` too; files, hooks as `BundleHook`, plugin, scripts, needs, requires_chi, includes, context_providers, session_settings: the keys a session's `chi --set` may give, a list or a mapping of them to types (`SESSION_SETTING_TYPES`), recorded at install in `manifest.json` (`session_settings`, `session_setting_types`) for `SessionConfig` to check; settings: the keys config.yml's `bundles: <name>:` may have, the same shape, recorded as `settings` (nil when the manifest has none) and `setting_types` for `BundleSettingsCheck`, whose warnings the Engine holds for the first turn and `SessionConfig`'s refusals share the words of) and writes it (`Manifest.write`, for Builder). It ignores `requires_chi_next`, a shipped bundle's release-time marker (`script/release/release_tools.rb`, docs/releasing.md) |
+| `Manifest` | parses/validates `manifest.yml` (`name:` is the bundle's name and a directory under `.bundles/`, so a path such as `../x`, `a/b`, `.` or `..` is refused: `name: … is not a bundle name`; YAML that doesn't parse or isn't a mapping is a `ValidationError` too; files, hooks as `BundleHook`, plugin, scripts, needs, requires_chi, includes, context_providers, session_settings: the keys a session's `chi --set` may give, a list or a mapping of them to types (`SESSION_SETTING_TYPES`), recorded at install in `manifest.json` (`session_settings`, `session_setting_types`) for `SessionConfig` to check; settings: the keys config.yml's `bundles: <name>:` may have, the same shape, recorded as `settings` (nil when the manifest has none) and `setting_types` for `BundleSettingsCheck`, whose warnings the Engine holds for the first turn and `SessionConfig`'s refusals share the words of) and writes it (`Manifest.write`, for Builder). It ignores `requires_chi_next`, a shipped bundle's release-time marker (`script/release/release_tools.rb`, docs/releasing.md). `KEYS` is every top-level key it reads, so a key outside it is one this chi ignores: `#unknown_keys`, in the order the manifest lists them, said in `Manifest.unknown_key_line`'s words by the Installer and `chi bundle check`. `SINCE` is the first release that read each key or shape (taken from the tags), and `#floor_keys` names the ones this manifest uses — including the shapes only a newer chi reads (a `files:` mapping, a hook's `events:`, a typed `session_settings:`/`settings:`) — for check's `requires-chi-floor` |
 | `Installer` | one install/upgrade/dry run of one bundle (below) |
 | `AssetInstaller` | the parts that live in `.bundles/<name>/`: hooks, guardrail rules, plugin, scripts; returns `AssetInstaller::Installed` (the paths the record keeps). A file it replaces or removes whose bytes are neither the recorded sha nor the incoming file's is copied to the Installer's `Trash` first (`Trash#copy_edit`, `#copy_edits` for a folder at any depth, as `hooks/x`, `guardrails/x`, `plugin/x`, `scripts/sub/x`; no sha recorded counts as edited; a dev link never is) |
 | `Merger` | 3-way classification per file: `.classify` → an `Outcome` (`status`: `install`, `fast_forward`, `keep`, `noop`, `conflict`, `merged`; `base`: where the file's next base comes from, `:on_disk`, `:recorded` or `:incoming`; a new outcome and its base go in its constants, and it needs a branch in `Installer#merge_memory`, a kind in `#next_base` if its base is new, and its status word in `#preview_memory`, `#verify_memory_checksums` and `#summary`). `.classify` never merges and answers `conflict` for two changed sides; `Merger::Upgrade` (provenance, target dir, source dir) is the one way to ask what an upgrade does to a file, nothing written: `#outcome` (`.classify`, then `TextMerge` where both sides changed, git once per call: `merged`, with its `TextMerge::Result` and the digest it read as the Outcome's `merge` and `current_sha`; `ALREADY_MERGED`, a `keep` with base `:incoming`, when the merge adds nothing; or `conflict` with that `merge`, whose `why` says why none was possible), `#classified`, `#forecast` (a `Forecast` of `merged` and `behind` in one pass), `#behind` (a `conflict` outcome as a `FileStanding::Behind`: why, and from `TextMerge.changed_sections` what it missed, nothing for an older mark, whose base may be the user's text), `#paths`, used by the Installer's merge and dry run, `ShippedUpdate.plan` and `SystemBundle.sync(dry_run:)`. `.write_merged` puts a merge in place: the digest checked just before the rename (`AtomicFile.write`'s block), through a symlink, the mode kept, the old file in the `Trash`; false when a live `memory_write` got in. A mark from an older chi (`InstalledBundle.legacy_mark?`: no `incoming_sha`, or `legacy_base`, which keeps that known once the digest is recorded, until the mark goes) may have the user's own text as its base, 0.149's doing, and a merge against it would undo that text with nothing to show, or a fast-forward replace all of it: `#outcome` makes a fast-forward that takes a line out of the file, and `.merge_outcome` a merge that does, a `conflict` (`FileStanding::LEGACY_BASE`), on the Installer's and `Remerge`'s path alike, unless `ShippedHistory` proves the base is a version chi shipped. The price, with no such gem left or for a bundle chi doesn't ship: a real base looks the same, so such a file whose bundle rewords or removes a line it still holds stays behind until it is resolved by hand, with `--agent` or with `--force`; no retry fixes it. `Installer#save_marked_file` serves a fast-forward that goes ahead over a mark: a file put back to its base under this chi's mark, or an older mark with a proved base or an update that only adds. `.markers?` (a file holding a merge's `<<<<<<<`/`>>>>>>>` lines; `=======` alone is a Markdown underline) |
 | `ShippedHistory` | `.shipped?(bundle, file, path)`: whether those bytes are that file of that bundle (by manifest name, since a shipped dir can be renamed) in an installed `samagotchi-<version>` gem. Reads `<gem dir>/gems/` by hand, for `Gem.path` (set by a chi home's boot string) and the home's `gem_dirs` from home.json (a checkout or another Ruby runs on other gems), never `Gem::Specification`. Size, then bytes, then the manifest. Anything it can't read is no match, which keeps the guard. Asked only when `Merger`'s guard would otherwise fire: with 54 gems on the Studio a miss costs about 4 ms, a hit less |
 | `TextMerge` | the text merge: `.merge(base:, ours:, theirs:)` → a `Result` (`status` `:clean` with `text`, `:conflict` with `hunks`, `:failed` with `why`). `git merge-file -p --diff3 --marker-size=20` on temp copies in a temp cwd, with every `GIT_*` that points at a repository or a config unset or at `/dev/null` (it can run inside another tool's hook). git isn't a runtime dependency: none on PATH, or macOS's `/usr/bin/git` with no developer tools behind it (`.apple_stub?`, by `xcode-select -p`; running it pops a dialog), is `:failed`. So is a git past `TIMEOUT` (10 s; its process group is killed: this runs under `SystemBundle`'s lock), and any doubt about the answer: `min(hunks, 127)` against the exit status, a status over 127, a NUL in a side, marker lines that don't pair up (a user's line equal to one), a line no input holds, or an empty answer to non-empty inputs. `Scan` reads the output: a hunk unions (ours, then the entries of theirs that ours lacks) only when the last heading before it, at level 1 or 2 and outside code fences, HTML comments and any hunk, is titled exactly `Changelog` or `Change log`, with nothing but list entries (an item and its indented lines) since that heading and no fence or comment open, and base, ours and theirs each hold only list entries, with every base entry still on both sides: both only added. Any other hunk is a real conflict, and markers never leave the module. An entry is an item and the lines indented deeper under it, nested items too, and the union compares whole entries. `.changed_sections(base, theirs, ours)`: the headings of the sections the bundle changed and the file hasn't got, and whether text under no heading did, which is what names a miss: a conflict's hunks can't, since the whole file stays and the one hunk may be a Changelog line beside a whole new section. `Hunk#heading` counts the places under no heading |
 | `FileStanding` | the one owner of what chi says of an edited bundle file, used by every surface: `Behind` (`#state`, `#line`: `x.md stays behind 0.8.0: no merge possible (why); missed ## A, ## B, ## C and 2 more`, `would stay` in a dry run), `MergeNote`, `.merged_line`, `.no_merge` (for `LEGACY_BASE` it says chi can't tell whether the file holds edits), `.clauses` (a report's clauses for one bundle), `.behind_count`, `.stay_behind`, `.counts_sentence` (the push), `.still_behind`, `.text` (UTF-8, whatever a name or heading was tagged), `FORCE_TAKES`, `FORCE_MOVES`, `IN_THE_TRASH`. Behind means marked and bytes other than the mark's `incoming_sha` (`.behind?`, read by `InstalledBundle#behind_files` and `Remerge` alike): a file brought level by hand isn't, a missing one is a missing file, and one that can't be read is. An older mark no retry has looked at reads `may be behind` (`Behind#unsure`, and the counts say so), and isn't behind at all when level with its recorded source on disk (`InstalledBundle#behind_file?`). A new surface reads these and adds no wording |
-| `Remerge` | the retry at the same version, memory files only, for a file marked `conflict`: `#run(dry_run:)` → a `Result` (`merged`, `settled`, `stamped`, `behind`, `warnings`, `trash_copy`, `trash_dir`). It merges what merges and settles those entries (`Provenance#resolve_conflicts`, the index line refreshed), leaving `version`, `installed_at` and the assets alone: the Installer would `rm_rf` guardrails, plugin and scripts under live sessions. Every file it leaves is in `behind`, with why: one not shipped now (`MemoryFiles.select`) keeps its mark, base and text; one whose `incoming_sha` isn't the shipped text (a checkout at one VERSION) is left alone, no git runs, and it reads as its mark says; a mark with no digest (older chi) is tried as well, and a real conflict then records it (`Provenance#refresh_marks`, which writes only when the mark would read differently, so a conflict at each start writes nothing). A mark whose digest matches is tried on every run, since the file or git may have changed. `noop` and `keep` settle quietly; `fast_forward` waits for the next upgrade, reading as behind until then; `install` is a missing file, which isn't behind, and a warning says so. A file it can't read or replace stays as it is, saying why. Called from `ShippedUpdate.plan_row`/`apply` (`chi update`) and `SystemBundle.sync`'s equal-version branch, under its lock (each chi start and `chi update`); a bundle chi doesn't ship retries through `chi bundle upgrade`. No marks: nothing is read beyond the record. One marked file costs one git run per Engine start, about 12 ms on the Studio (0.1 ms with none) |
-| `Provenance` | the `.bundles/<name>/` dir: `#write` the record + bases (its `files:` is the full list: a key left out is dropped, a nil value keeps the entry with no base; `marks:` are the files left behind, each a `FileStanding::Behind`, and `incoming_dir:` the bundle text each speaks of, recorded as `incoming_sha` and saved at `#incoming_path`; an older mark that stays keeps `legacy_base`), `#resolve_conflicts` (base to the incoming file, mark and its fields (`MARK_FIELDS`) and saved text gone; a file whose incoming copy is gone keeps both), `#refresh_marks` (what a retry found: why, missed, the digest and `legacy_base`, the saved text), `#note_merged` and `#clear_merge_notes(notes)` (`MERGE_NOTE_FIELDS`, kept through `#write`; the saved text is best effort, after the manifest, so it can't leave a plugin under the old record's sha; any other failure writing the record still can, until a retry), `#record` → `InstalledBundle`, `.each_installed`, `.claimants` (which bundles own a file) |
-| `InstalledBundle`, `BundleHook`, `PluginRef` | value objects for the record; tolerant of older records (missing keys read as empty). `BundleHook#events` is the manifest's `event:` or its `events:` list (written back as `event:` for one, as an older chi reads it); `Hooks::BundleLoader#load_hook_file` builds the hook once and registers it under each |
+| `Remerge` | the retry at the same version, memory files only, for a file marked `conflict`: `#run(dry_run:)` → a `Result` (`merged`, `settled`, `stamped`, `behind`, `warnings`, `trash_copy`). It merges what merges and settles those entries (`Provenance#resolve_conflicts`, the index line refreshed), leaving `version`, `installed_at` and the assets alone: the Installer would `rm_rf` guardrails, plugin and scripts under live sessions. Every file it leaves is in `behind`, with why: one not shipped now (`MemoryFiles.select`) keeps its mark, base and text; one whose `incoming_sha` isn't the shipped text (a checkout at one VERSION) is left alone, no git runs, and it reads as its mark says; a mark with no digest (older chi) is tried as well, and a real conflict then records it (`Provenance#refresh_marks`, which writes only when the mark would read differently, so a conflict at each start writes nothing). A mark whose digest matches is tried on every run, since the file or git may have changed. `noop` and `keep` settle quietly; `fast_forward` waits for the next upgrade, reading as behind until then; `install` is a missing file, which isn't behind, and a warning says so. A file it can't read or replace stays as it is, saying why. Called from `ShippedUpdate.plan_row`/`apply` (`chi update`) and `SystemBundle.sync`'s equal-version branch, under its lock (each chi start and `chi update`); a bundle chi doesn't ship retries through `chi bundle upgrade`. No marks: nothing is read beyond the record. One marked file costs one git run per Engine start, about 12 ms on the Studio (0.1 ms with none) |
+| `Provenance` | the `.bundles/<name>/` dir: `#write` the record + bases (its `files:` is the full list: a key left out is dropped, a nil value keeps the entry with no base; `marks:` are the files left behind, each a `FileStanding::Behind`, and `incoming_dir:` the bundle text each speaks of, recorded as `incoming_sha` and saved at `#incoming_path`; an older mark that stays keeps `legacy_base`), `#resolve_conflicts` (base to the incoming file, mark and its fields (`MARK_FIELDS`) and saved text gone; a file whose incoming copy is gone keeps both), `#refresh_marks` (what a retry found: why, missed, the digest and `legacy_base`, the saved text), `#note_merged` and `#clear_merge_notes(notes)` (`MERGE_NOTE_FIELDS`, kept through `#write`; the saved text is best effort, after the manifest, so it can't leave a plugin under the old record's sha; any other failure writing the record still can, until a retry), `#record` → `InstalledBundle`, `.each_installed`, `.claimants` (which bundles own a file). `#write(manifest_from: DIR)` keeps `DIR/manifest.yml` at `#kept_manifest_path` (written aside and renamed; for `dev:` a link to its realpath) and records `manifest_sha` (`FileDigest.sha256`, `DEV_SHA` for dev) and `installed_by` (this chi's VERSION); the Installer and `Profile.install` pass their source dir, and a write without it carries the existing record's two fields, the kept file left alone. The in-place edits (`#resolve_conflicts`, `#record_restored`, `#refresh_marks`, `#note_merged`, `#clear_merge_notes`) keep them. The record's mirror of the manifest keys (`requires_chi` … `setting_types`) is still written from the kwargs, exactly as before: an older chi sharing the memories dir (an old worker, chi web, gem or worktree) reads only the record, and without the mirror's `requires_chi` it would load a too-new bundle's plugin and hooks. A key a later manifest gains is never mirrored. Any chi without the kept manifest that rewrites a record drops `manifest_sha` and `installed_by` (it rebuilds the record from its own kwargs). `#adopt_manifest(dir, dry_run:)` heals such a record (`InstalledBundle#manifest_unkept?`: no `manifest_sha`, or its file gone): when `dir` is the source of what's installed (its manifest names the bundle at the recorded version; each mirrored key, normalised as `.mirror_fields` records it (the one shape `#write` uses too), equals the record's, a key the record lacks being fine only when `Manifest::SINCE` has it, since an older chi couldn't have recorded it; each recorded hook's events, on_error and priority are the manifest's; and every recorded plugin, hook, script, rule and unmarked memory sha is that of `dir`'s file; else the why names the key or file) it keeps `dir/manifest.yml` and records `manifest_sha`, nothing else (not `installed_at`, the mirror or `installed_by`); otherwise it returns why and writes nothing. Never for a dev record (its next `install --dev` links the file) |
+| `InstalledManifest` (installed_manifest.rb) | the one answer to "this installed bundle's manifest" (`InstalledBundle#manifest`): requires_chi, trust_level, hook metadata, needs, the scripts' names, context providers, block renderers, session settings and settings with their types, file descriptions, a profile's includes. Read from the kept `manifest.yml` (`origin: :kept`) when the record's `manifest_sha` is set and the file still has it (`Provenance.sha_matches?`, so a dev link is never checked), else from the record's `mirror` (`origin: :record`), in these cases: no kept file and no `manifest_sha` (a record from before chi kept it; no problem); no kept file, or something other than a file in its place, while `manifest_sha` is set (`:missing`); a kept file and no `manifest_sha` (a chi without the kept manifest rewrote the record: `problems["manifest.yml"] = :stale`); a kept file with another sha, or one that isn't a YAML mapping (`:edited`); the sha matches (`:kept`). `#standing` is that symbol, `#key_problems` the rest. The kept file is read by `Manifest.tolerant` key by key in a fixed order (its comment): a key that doesn't parse under this chi takes the mirror's value if that parses, else empty, with its message in `problems` (a reader that logged it logs that); `block_renderers` is checked against the record's scripts when the kept `scripts:` fails, and one bad hook entry keeps the record's hooks whole. Hooks: each *recorded* hook with the kept manifest's events, on_error and priority and the record's sha (a found `hooks/*.rb` with no entry as recorded; a manifest hook the record lacks isn't installed, so isn't listed). `description` and `unknown_keys` come only from a kept file; a profile's `includes` is always the record's (its members, identity). The value is deep-frozen, since callers share it. One process-wide cache (a Hash under a Mutex, cleared at `CACHE_LIMIT`) keyed by the record value and the kept file's stat (mtime, size, inode, device; a dev link's target): chi web asks per request, a worker at start and per `ContextProviders.resolve`. `#requires_chi_failure(version = VERSION)` is the one requires_chi gate; `#experimental?`, `#needs?`, `#context_providers?`, `#block_renderers?` |

Read by `ShippedUpdate` (`Row#manifest`, the plan's dry `keep` and apply's), `UpdateCommand#external_rows` (a `kept its manifest` row, else a warn row, before the bundle's re-check, which then sees the kept file) and `chi bundle status NAME` (`BundleCommand#manifest_line`: `Manifest:`, the label, `.status_line`: for a record with a folder source (a bundle chi ships: this chi's shipped copy at the recorded version, which `chi update` reads), a dry `adopt_manifest` first, so the line says whether `chi update` keeps it or why not; an archive isn't extracted there, its line says `chi update tries to keep it`; a profile chi doesn't ship is never kept by `chi update`, so its line names `chi bundle upgrade NAME`) |

+draw after the worker has gone, so JS draws and Ruby only routes and serves.

+  fence has no language in the page and nothing draws, though a hint in the bundle's prompt section still reaches
+  the model: say so in the bundle's README.
+- **Where it draws:** the owner's page only, in answers and closed steps. Participants' pages, cards, question
+  replies, the asking slot, delegate reports and the doc viewer show the source, and so does the terminal.
+- **The script's side:** the last file calls `chi.defineRenderer({ init, render })`. `init()` (optional, may be async)
+  runs once; `render(source, theme)` returns the SVG as a string, or a promise of one. Throw to keep the block as
+  source. `theme` is `{name, bg, panel, text, muted, border, accent, font}`, from the page's tokens. The script runs in
+  a sandboxed frame with no cookie and no access to the page, and the CSP closes its network, but for WebRTC (what the
+  frame holds, the diagrams it rendered, could leave that way). The SVG is shown as an `<img>`, so its scripts, links
+  and remote images don't run: it has to stand alone (no `foreignObject`, every namespace prefix bound) and stay under 50,000 px a
+  side and 100M px. Over that, or if the image doesn't decode, the block stays source. The
+  layers and the residual risk are in [internals/block-renderers.md](internals/block-renderers.md).

 The `delegate` tool hands a task to a **child session**: an ordinary chi session in a worker of its own, started in the parent's `working_directory` with the task, verbatim, as its first user message, on the parent's model unless the call names one (`model:` takes a name or an alias, resolved as `--model` is; an unknown host comes back as the tool's `Error:` line; an id the host's saved model list doesn't have starts the child with a `Warning: host 'h' doesn't list model 'x' (did you mean: …?)` line in the result). Children run in parallel and only their **final reply** comes back to the parent: the child's newest `output/<timestamp>.txt` file, which the worker writes at the end of each turn that produced visible text, cut head-and-tail above 64 KB (`DelegateWait.cut`); a reply longer than `max_tool_output_chars` keeps its start and its end (the conclusion), with a gap line naming that `output/` file, where the whole reply is (`ToolOutputCut`'s `:head_tail_ref`; see [Tool output guardrails](internals/tool-output-limits.md#the-runners-cut-max_tool_output_chars)). Nothing of the child's trace enters the parent's context. Nothing is hidden: a child shows in `chi sessions list` (`↳ <parent>`), the web (folded into its parent's card on the strip and in all sessions, whose `▸ N delegates` chip lists the delegates at any depth, see Web UI above; a card of its own with a `↳` chip when its parent isn't listed; `↑ <parent id>` in its info bar, its tooltip `delegated by session …`; the parent's info bar carries a `⑂ N` chip counting its delegates, with how many run, wait, are done, failed, stopped or idle in the tooltip and the waiting ones named in the attention colour; a click opens all sessions), the terminal's status row (a parent's `⑂ 2 running · 1 waiting`, see [Status Line](cli.md#status-line)) and the `list_sessions` tool (`child`; the parent shows as `parent` in the child's own list); the user can `chi --attach <child id>` and steer it mid-run, and `chi send` and `send_note` reach it like any session.
 
 - `delegate(task, model:, session:, cwd:, wait:, timeout:)`: starts a child and, by default, waits for its reply. `wait: false` is the usual way for work that takes a while, several children side by side, or to keep talking with the user: it returns at once, the parent ends its turn or works on, and the reply comes back by itself as a *delegate report* (below), in a turn of its own if the parent is idle. The tool descriptions tell the model so, and to wait (`wait: true`, `delegate_result`) only when its turn can't go on without the reply. `timeout`, default 600 s, leaves a slow child running; 0 checks once without waiting. With `session:` (a child's id or prefix) the task goes to that child as a follow-up instead, delivered like `chi send` (client id `delegate:<parent short id>`, shown as `delegate>` in the child's UIs); only this session's children take one. The wait (`wait: true`, a later `delegate_result`) and the delegate report are for the reply of the child's turn the follow-up went to: its running turn, which it merges into, or the turn of its own it runs when the child is idle (`turn` in `delegates.json`, set when the child's worker names `turn_ids`), not a newer reply of a turn queued behind it. A follow-up merged as a steer into a turn the child started at that moment (a wake, a reminder, another message) gets that turn's reply or question. A child on its first turn, or with an older worker, gives its next reply, as before.
-- `cwd:` starts the child in another folder of the parent's repository: a linked worktree (`git worktree add ../<repo>-<task> -b <branch>`, which the model runs with `execute` first, under guardrails; chi runs no git here) or a subfolder; a relative path is taken from the parent's folder. The folder must exist, have the parent's project root (the same common git dir, `MemoryPaths.project_root`) and be in a work tree: a git dir (`.git`, `.git/objects`, a bare layout's `.bare`) or a bare layout's container is refused (`git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`, read-only, decides). Outside git only a subfolder of the parent's folder is allowed. Otherwise the tool returns `Error: cwd must be a folder of this session's repository …` or `… is not in a work tree …`. A follow-up (`session:`) refuses `cwd:`: the child keeps its folder. The child's guardrails measure from its own worktree, and project memories, `list_sessions` and the web's project are the same as the parent's. With no `cwd:` and a task that names another checkout of the same repository (a path in the task belonging to a linked worktree, read from the files with `Guardrails::GitInfo.checkouts`, no git process), the result carries `Warning: this child runs in <folder>, but its task names <checkout>. If it should work there, stop it (chi sessions stop <id>) and call delegate again without session, with cwd: <checkout>.` One line however many are named; nothing for a path of the child's own checkout, a folder that isn't one, or a path with spaces. The child starts as it would anyway, and with `wait: true` (the default) the line comes after the child ran, so it only helps with `wait: false`. A `Warning:` for an unknown model id comes first, then this one. `Log.info(:worker, "delegate_other_checkout", parent:)` records each line.
+- `cwd:` starts the child in another folder of the parent's repository: a linked worktree (`git worktree add ../<repo>-<task> -b <branch>`, which the model runs with `execute` first, under guardrails; chi runs no git here) or a subfolder; a relative path is taken from the parent's folder.

If it should work there, stop it (chi sessions stop <id>) and call delegate again without session, with cwd: <checkout>.` One line however many are named; nothing for a path of the child's own checkout, a folder that isn't one, a path with spaces, or the main checkout when the child runs in a linked worktree of it (the work belongs in the worktree, so naming a main-checkout file is not a forgotten `cwd:`). The child starts as it would anyway, and with `wait: true` (the default) the line comes after the child ran, so it only helps with `wait: false`. A `Warning:` for an unknown model id comes first, then this one. `Log.info(:worker, "delegate_other_checkout", parent:)` records each line.
 - `delegate_result(session:, timeout:)`: waits for a child's next reply: the one named, or the newest running child (`timeout` as for `delegate`: 0 checks once and returns at once). The reply comes back once; a later call waits for the next one. After `wait: false` it isn't needed: the report brings the reply.
 - A wait also ends early when a person's message waits for the parent's turn's next step (the `task_wait` rule: `Engine#input_waiting?`, `SessionInbox.steer_waiting?`, never in a participant's turn): `ReplyWait`'s `message_waiting:` probe gives `:message_waiting`, checked after every outcome the child can arrive at (a reply, a question, an end, a gone worker) and a cancel, before the deadline, and the result says `no reply yet: a message from the user is waiting; the child keeps running. Read the message first.` with the same last line as a timeout's. The child is never touched, the cursor doesn't move (the reply still comes, as a report or at the next `delegate_result`), a relayed approval's outcome line stays in the result, and a reserved report reads as for a timeout. A delegate child's report doesn't end a wait. This holds for `delegate`'s own wait too (both go through `DelegateWait`).
 - A wait that timed out or was canceled still gets its delegate report: neither moves the parent's cursor, so the child's reply comes as a report when its turn ends. The result says so (`chi brings its reply here by itself as a delegate report …`; with `queue`, that it joins the next step or turn) and that `delegate_result` waits again only if the turn needs the reply now. A parent that gets no reports (`session.delegate_reports: off`, a `--no-shared` REPL, `--non-interactive`) is told `delegate_result <id> waits again` instead, and `wait: false`'s result says `delegate_result waits for its reply`.
