 advisory under `execution-agent-v1` is a passive subordinate result and does
 not create `planner.plan.*` state or events.
 
+Supervisor delegation is reported by `role.delegated` only after a direct
+child call is committed under the Supervisor root contract. Its payload carries
+`callerCallId`, `callerRole`, `childCallId`, `childRole`, and the exact canonical
+`objective` (up to 8,192 characters). The ordinary request envelope supplies
+request identity and ordering. The event records accepted delegation, not child
+execution success, request completion, or a change of active display role; it has
+no `stage` or `phase`. Execution Agent calls and nested Planner-to-Worker calls
+do not produce this event.
+
+The event uses existing request-event persistence and replay. Resuming an
+already-open child after approval does not emit another delegation. Clients
+identify each delegation by request identity, generation when present, and
+`childCallId`; repeated objectives or recipient roles do not establish duplicates.
+The Web UI retains these records in the Supervisor card, with an expandable
+preview of the original objective, separately from its latest status. Older
+sessions without recorded delegation events retain their existing presentation.
+Projection adds no model invocation or model-visible context and preserves the
+existing synchronous commit-observer and event-delivery failure behavior.
+
+A direct Planner return under the Supervisor root contract also projects
+`role.returned` after its canonical `child_returned` commit. Its payload carries
+`callerCallId`, `callerRole=supervisor`, `childCallId`, `childRole=planner`,
+`outcome=completed|failed`, and the exact committed result `summary`. The summary
+is not truncated to the delegation objective limit. The event is a historical
+role result, not a request-terminal status or proof that a plan was created. It
+has no `stage` or `phase`, and neither nested returns nor Execution Agent
+advisories produce it.
+
+Return receipts use the same request persistence and replay as delegations,
+with a separate identity namespace keyed by request, generation when present,
+and child call. Restoring an existing result or continuing after approval does
+not emit it again. The Planner card shows an expandable result or failure
+receipt and suppresses an earlier generic planning summary; a later planning
+activation still has its own status. Legacy sessions without this event do not
+infer a result. Model calls, model context, and existing synchronous observer
+failure handling are unchanged by this projection.
+
 Runtime capabilities use the stable tool event envelope. Adapter-owned
 presentation metadata supplies the tool, operation and action type; target
 metadata contains only resolved logical paths. Physical

+## Knowledge Skill documents
+
+The core-owned `abot_skills` tool provides `list_skills` metadata,
+`read_skill` and `read_skills` independently of installed plugins. Multiple reads
+accept exact IDs or full case-sensitive names. IDs take precedence; a name shared
+by several Skills returns all matches. Reads return at most eight distinct documents
+and fail as a whole for an unknown reference or an exceeded limit. A single read
+returns one document, or a skills array when its name matches several. It uses the
+same Tool Registry, capability execution, permissions, tool events and result
+context as other tools. LIST/READ load internal guidance without per-action user
+approval in EA and SUPER, including ASK mode; explicit model-level Skills blocks
+still apply. The core-only read policy does not exempt other tools or Skill
+CREATE/UPDATE. An older request already waiting for approval retains its recorded
+approval through resume. Available Skills projects bounded metadata from the same
+Store; document bodies enter context only after an explicit read.
+
+The packaged read-only catalog contains ABot Studio, Computer Use, Skill Creator,
+Technical Work and What Can I Do? The latter explains supported uses while
+distinguishing them from the tools actually enabled for a request. The documents
+are packaged source content, not tool action-Skills or system instructions.
+They supply procedural reference under the current objective without granting
+capabilities, permissions or completion authority. Tool catalogs and selected
+operation guidance continue to own tool choice and execution contracts.
+
+EA invokes the tool directly through ordinary tool evidence and compaction.
+SUPER selects and reads relevant Skills in its existing discovery step against
+the same Store, without a Worker call. Each lookup records its result in the existing role ledger
+and uses the existing activation budget. Captured documents are passive context
+for SUPER and its Planner/Worker calls, including Worker payload authoring; they
+are not copied into objectives or system messages. The existing compactor and
+checkpoint restore validate these references against their captured ledger source.
+No separate cache, active-Skill registry or resume/compaction mechanism is added.
+SUPER reads initial guidance directly; Workers retain LIST/READ and captured
+Skill guidance, but cannot CREATE/UPDATE. The same write-ownership filter applies
+to the Worker catalogs shown to Planner and Supervisor.
+Unknown references fail explicitly. EA and Worker Skill operations use ordinary
+`tool.*` events; SUPER lookups use its existing runtime status events. Successful
+reads show canonical Skill names without document bodies.
+Personal `create_skill` and `update_skill` operations use ordinary mutating
+permissions and the existing RAW payload authoring channel, only on user request.
+In SUPER, routing selects a separate authoring step only for a requested save.
+That step selects metadata; core loads an exact personal edit target and revision,
+and RAW writes the complete Markdown from the supplied sources. The full edit
+target remains verbatim through compaction. Existing approval/resume executes the
+prepared body and controls without reauthoring or refreshing a stale revision.
+A settled write or no-save outcome goes directly to the final response; it does
+not return to discovery or delegate more work. EA keeps its existing write flow.
+Success events show the saved name and ID without the document body.
+Personal documents live in `paths.runtimeDir/skills/personal.json`, shared across
+sessions/models in that environment; dev/prod separation follows the configured
+runtime directories. Writes reuse the existing file lock and atomic replacement.
+Updates require the revision returned by READ, so stale edits cannot overwrite a
+newer document. System documents cannot be changed through these operations.
+An unreadable personal store omits optional discovery and produces an explicit
+tool failure; system reads remain available. Research Skills remain outside this stage.
+
+The Web UI manages personal Skills through the environment owner's
+`personalSkills` service and the existing local RPC. It creates personal documents
+with generated IDs, lists metadata, loads a selected document, edits content only,
+and archives/restores by expected revision.
+System documents are excluded and immutable; archived documents are view-only
+until restored. Archive state shares the same file and lock as model writes.
+New model LIST/READ calls exclude archived records, including reads by name; model
+updates cannot revive them. Previously captured tool/role evidence stays intact.
+The store reads schema v1 records as active without rewriting on read; the next
+mutation writes schema v2 with explicit archive state. Older runtimes reject v2
+rather than silently dropping archive state. No hard delete/import/sync UI or
+dedicated authoring model is added.
+
+Core tool names and operation contracts share `capabilities/core-tool-contracts.ts`.
+Runtime loading silently ignores an entire plugin that declares a reserved tool
+name or operation ID, before loading its entrypoint or action-Skills. Reserved
+operation IDs are derived from the same contracts used by native definitions.
+The installed package and saved plugin selection remain unchanged.
