 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.71.0] - 2026-10-15
+
+### Changed
+
+- Web: an `execute` row, and a `task_wait` row showing its log's last lines, now shows the end of its output (a
+  test run's summary, a failing exit line) instead of the start, without the success `exit: 0` line or a lone
+  `stdout:` label; the whole output stays on hover.
+- `task_wait` on a task that finished now returns the last lines of its log too (`output_tail:`, `tail_lines` of
+  them, 10 by default), as a timed-out wait does: a test run's summary or an error is there without reading the
+  log; its web row shows them.
+- Web: a page opened mid-turn (or reconnecting) gets each tool's output cut as a reload does (2000 characters),
+  so a joined row matches the reloaded one and the snapshot is smaller.
+- Web: a tool row whose call the guardrails corrected shows its output without the `ran as: …` line inline (it
+  stays on hover).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A command a signal ended (a segfault, an OOM kill: its result ends `exit: ` with no number) is read as finished:
+  a long output's cut keeps its exit line apart and tells the model not to rerun it (the saved file is the whole
+  output), and its web row shows the output's end as other failed commands' do.
+- `chi sessions`: a `--days`, `--keep` or `--limit` that isn't a whole number (`--days=abc`) is now a usage error
+  (exit 2) instead of being read as 0, which turned `prune`'s age limit off; the usage now lists `clean --all`.
+- `full` with `--no-tool call_tool` (or `find_tools`) and no MCP server no longer adds a "Not loaded in this
+  session" line to the system prompt nor a web toolkit chip: there call_tool reaches nothing, so nothing is left
+  out.
+- A `toolkit.kits` entry with a key other than `base:`, `add:` and `remove:` (a typo, a `tools:` list) now warns
+  (once, as the toolkit's other config warnings) instead of being ignored silently; the kit still loads.
+- Attached terminal: a session's reloaded tool rows read each result as the live row did: a command handed over
+  as a task is no longer shown failed because its output so far had `exit: 1`, and a failed `execute`
+  (`Error: …`) is no longer shown done.
+- A `task_wait` row is marked stopped only by the wait's own status, not by a `status: stopped` line the task's
+  log printed.
+- A `task_wait` whose task failed (exited non-zero, or without an exit code) is now marked failed in the web and
+  terminal rows and counted in the turn's "(N failed)", as a failing `execute` is.
+
+Update with `chi update` (the system bundle 0.71.0), then restart `chi web`.
+
+## [0.70.0] - 2026-10-15
+
+### Added
+
+- Peer bundles: the `/claude` and `/codex` status cards say when the peer's installed chi-peer skill differs from
+  this bundle's (`install-skill`, Replace, then pair again).
+
+### Changed
+
+- Peer bundles (claude-peer, codex-peer): a peer's `VERDICT OK` answer now wakes chi once to close the round, so chi
+  carries on with what waited on it (another peer, the next step) or tells you what was agreed, instead of waiting
+  for your next message. That turn counts toward `session.max_wakes`, not `context.peer_turns`. Run `/claude
+  install-skill` and `/codex install-skill` (Replace) after `chi update` for the matching skill text.
+- Peer bundles: a peer's answers now come as `claude-outbox` / `codex-outbox` (were `claude-review` /
+  `codex-review`), to pair with `claude-inbox` / `codex-inbox`. After `chi update`, run `/claude install-skill` and
+  `/codex install-skill` (Replace), then pair again from Claude or Codex: until then a new pair loses the peer's
+  answers, and an existing pair's answers don't wake chi as a peer's. Then remove the old source:
+  `chi context rm claude-review <id>` / `chi context rm codex-review <id>`.
+- A long `execute` result now keeps its last lines (where test summaries and errors are) as well as the first, and
+  the whole output is saved in the session's folder (`tool_output/`, kept as long as the session, the newest 50); the
+  model is told the file's path, so it reads that instead of running the command again. A long `task_wait` result
+  keeps its end too and names the task's log, and a long reply from a delegated session keeps its conclusion and
+  names the child's reply file. New setting
+  `execute.cut_head_chars` (default 1000): how much of the start such a result keeps.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Web: a long tool output's hover text after a reload (or a mid-turn reconnect) keeps its end too, not only its
+  first 2000 chars, so an `execute`'s test summary and exit line stay visible; a `read` still shows its start.
+
+Update with `chi update` (it upgrades the bundles too): the system bundle 0.70.0, claude-peer 0.4.0 and codex-peer
+0.3.0. Then run `/claude install-skill` and `/codex install-skill` (Replace), pair again, and restart `chi web`.

A command that sets its own EXIT trap replaces it: `execute` still reports the shell's status, and a handed-over one gets its code from chi's waiter while that chi runs; a `task_create` task ends failed with no exit code.
 - A stop of an `execute` (the user's Stop, the limit in kill mode) is done once the shell is reaped and nothing holds the logs: a child that ignores TERM after its shell died gets the KILL.
 - A command still running at `execute.timeout_sec` is handed over as a task (`execute.on_timeout: task`, the default; `kill` stops it instead, and the `!cmd` bang always kills): the result starts `Still running at the 120s limit: moved to a background task, not killed.`, then `task_id: …` and the tails of both logs so far. A timeout during the 1.5 s background grace is a kill (the shell is gone, nothing to hand over). If the record can't be written, the command is killed. `TaskRuntime.adopt` writes a record for the process execute already started, with `handed_over_by: "execute"`. Its logs stay where execute wrote them, so the record's paths are absolute: `output_path` (stdout), `stderr_path` (stderr, a log of its own) and `exit_code_path`. `started_at` (and `created_at`) is the spawn time, not the hand-over's; `pid_started` is read at the hand-over, while execute's detach waiter is still running. From there it is an ordinary task: `task_wait`, `task_get`, `task_list` and `task_stop` treat it as any other. Its dir gets a `task` back-pointer file holding the record's absolute path. Once per process, the first `execute` sweeps `…/execute/`: a dir whose logs no process holds is removed when it has no back-pointer and is a day old (chi died mid-command), when its record is gone, or when it is 14 days old. The records live in each project's `tmp/tasks`, which the state dir can't list: hence the back-pointer.

An execute's id is read only after its first line (`Execute::HANDED_OVER`, through `TaskRuntime.handed_over_id`; the web has a JS twin in `task_stop.js`), not from a `task_id:` line inside a run, which the command can print. (A command that prints the `---` separator chi joins a turn's results with, then a hand-over line, still fakes one: a known gap.)

+## The runner's cut (`max_tool_output_chars`)
+
+After a tool's own limits, `ToolRunner` caps every result at `max_tool_output_chars` (default `10000`
+characters, both loops). How a longer one is cut is the tool's policy, `ToolOutputCut::POLICIES` (by the
+built-in name; a tool with none gets `:head`):
+
+| Tool | Policy | What the model gets |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `execute` | `:head_tail_file` | a short head, a long tail, one gap line between them; the whole output saved in the session's folder |
+| `task_wait` | `:head_tail_ref` | the same head and tail, the gap line naming the task's log (`output_path`, `Tools::RefText`); nothing saved |
+| `delegate`, `delegate_result` | `:head_tail_ref` | the same, the gap line naming the child's reply file (its `output/<timestamp>.txt`); nothing saved |
+| `read` and every other tool (`task_get`/`task_list`/`task_create`/`task_stop`, `web_fetch`, `memory_read`, `context_read`, plugin and MCP tools) | `:head` | the first chars, then `[cut: N of M chars; read it in parts]` |
+
+`:head_tail_file` is for output whose end matters: a test run's summary, an error, the `exit:` line. The head is
+`execute.cut_head_chars` at most (default `1000`) and never more than a quarter of the room; the tail gets
+everything else the cap leaves, so a larger `max_tool_output_chars` keeps a longer tail. Both are snapped to whole
+lines when that keeps at least half of each. execute's stdout and stderr blocks are cut each on its own (stdout gets
+about two thirds of the room when both are long, a block that needs less gives the rest to the other); the `exit:`
+line is always kept. The whole stays within the cap; a cap too small for a tail of `ToolOutputCut::MIN_TAIL` (200)
+characters gets the `:head` cut, and so does one whose gap lines leave no room for that tail (checked with the
+file's planned path before anything is written): nothing is saved then, and the event has no `output_file:`.
+
+The gap line says what was left out and where the whole output is:
+
+```
+[cut: lines 24-1871 of the saved file not shown (41230 of 48211 chars); the whole output is saved in /…/sessions/<id>/tool_output/execute-3f9a1c2b7d10.txt (48211 bytes, 1902 lines): read it with start_line/end_line or rg it; don't rerun the command]
+```
+
+A second cut block (stderr) gets a short line, `[cut: lines A-B of the saved file not shown (N chars)]`. The line
+numbers are the saved file's. When the output was already a preview (execute's own head+tail above
+`execute.truncate_at_bytes`), the line says the preview is what's saved and the full output wasn't kept; for a
+command that didn't finish (killed at the limit, stopped) it says the output it printed is saved, and neither says
+not to rerun.
+
+**The saved file** (`ToolOutputFiles`): `sessions/<id>/tool_output/<tool>-<sha256[0,12]>.txt`, the output exactly as
+the runner had it (its `[execute]` lead and a `ran as:` line included). Not `output/`, the session's reply outbox
+(`chi send --wait` and `delegate` take the newest file there as the reply). The name comes from the content, and the
+cut text from the content alone (no clock): the same output gives the same text, for the prompt cache and for
+loop-guard's repeat check (which still catches fewer exact repeats than a head cut did, since a tail carries
+timings). The file goes with the session's folder (deleting the session, the retention sweep); a session keeps its
+newest 50 (`ToolOutputFiles::MAX_FILES`, by mtime), so a pruned file named in an old result is "file not found". A
+fork or a continue doesn't copy them: its results point at the parent's folder. The whole output, secrets included,
+sits on disk as long as the session does. Reading it (`read`, `rg`, `sed -n`) asks no approval: sessions aren't among
+the guardrails' chi dirs (keep the folder's name off `context`, which `shell-touches-chi` matches).
+
+**When it can't be saved** (no session: a bare kernel; a write that fails: the error's class, logged as
+`tool_output_save_failed`; a session-folder lookup that raises: `no session`), the gap line says so and how to see the
+rest: `[cut: N of M chars not shown; the whole output wasn't saved (Errno::ENOSPC); to look past this, rerun with the
+output sent to a file (cmd > /tmp/out.txt 2>&1) and read that]`. The turn goes on.
+
+`:head_tail_ref` cuts the whole text as one block, the same way, and saves nothing: the tool returns its text as a
+`Tools::RefText` whose `ref_path` is the file the whole of it is in (a reply's file holds only the reply, not the
+`session:`/`status:` header) (`KernelLoop#dispatch` passes it on as the
+result's `ref_path:`), and the gap line names it: `[cut: N of M chars not shown; the task's whole output is in
+<output_path>: read it with start_line/end_line or rg it]`. A handed-over execute's task has a stderr log of its
+own: `RefText#stderr_path` (passed on as `ref_stderr_path:`) adds `(its stderr in <stderr_path>)` after the path.
+
+The model, the `:tool_call_completed` event and the `after_tool_call` hook get the same cut text; the event and
+the runner's result carry the saved file's path as `output_file:`, and the log's `tool_call_completed` line has
+`saved=true`.

Besides the messages and turn state, the JSON keeps `used_memory_names` (what the session read), `preloaded_memory_names` (`--memory`) and `muted_memory_names` (`--mute`), the last two written before the worker starts so a respawn builds the same prompt, `prompt_notes`, the model notes the system prompt carried at its last build (`[{name, scope, chars, digest}]`, see [Memory](memory.md#model-notes)), `parent_id`, the session that delegated this one (see *Delegating*; `null` otherwise), and `continues`, the session this one continues (the previous link of a chain, see *Session chains*; `null` otherwise); files from before those keys read as empty lists, no parent and no previous link. `model_name` is the resolved model ref (an alias applied, `host:id` when it names a host), so a resumed session keeps its model when an alias is retargeted; `model_typed` is the name it was given as when that differs (an alias), for the `models:` lookup after a resume (`null` otherwise).
 
 **Input files:** a message for a session's worker waits in `input/<timestamp>.json` (`SessionInbox.write_input`: `prompt`, `client_id`, `enqueued_id`, and `images`, `no_interrupt` and `delivery` when they apply; `delivery` is written only for `"queue"`). While a turn runs, the worker merges them at each step boundary in name order, except a queued one or one with images: those wait for the turn's end and run one turn each, in name order, and a file after them still merges (`Worker#pending_input_drain`). A queue is sent only to a worker whose `bridge.json` names the `delivery` feature; an older one would steer it, so `SessionManager.deliver_turn` refuses it (409 `delivery_unavailable`), and any other 4xx the Bridge answers is a refusal too, never a fallback file (except a 413, a body over its size limit: that one still goes in as a file, its `delivery` kept). **Reply files:** a turn that ends with visible text leaves its reply in `output/<timestamp>.txt`, or `output/<timestamp>-<enqueued_id>.txt` when the turn ran an input file with an id (`SessionInbox.write_output`), and the session's `last_turn` keeps that `enqueued_id`; so a wait for one queued message (`chi send --queue --wait`, `ReplyWait`'s `turn:`) finds its own turn's reply or end, never another turn's. The names still sort by time, and every reader takes `*.txt`.

 ## Delegating
 
-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 like an `execute` result. 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; `delegated by` in its info bar; 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.

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; `delegated by` in its info bar; 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.
