-`is_shadowed` and prints `shadow_reason`.

----
-
-## 2. Ranks, and the rule that makes them mean something
-
-Every key declares `answers[]`: which FAMILY question it answers, at which
-RANK (`P0` · `P1` · `P2` · `P3`), in which MODE.
-
-> **Read a family top-down and stop at the first rank that resolves.**
-> If the P0 key of a family resolves, P1, P2 and P3 of that family are **not
-> read at all** — not consulted, not defaulted, not mentioned as a fallback. A
-> rank below a resolved rank has no effect and no meaning for this decision.
-
-**A rank compares only INSIDE its family.** `log_dir` being P2 and `opus5_only`
-being P1 says nothing whatever: they never compete. A family whose keys do not
-compete has every key at P2, the neutral rank, and the lint asserts it — rank
-distinctness is required only where a family is declared contested.
-
-| `mode` | resolves when | effect on the ranks below it |
-|---|---|---|
-| `replace` | the key is set to a truthy / non-default value | every lower rank is shadowed, entirely |
-| `overlay` | the key is on **and** at least one row applies to THIS decision | lower ranks are shadowed only for the ranges or slots it covers |
-| `gate` | — | it never resolves the family; it makes its own dependants **inert** (§4) |
-
-An `overlay` resolves PARTIALLY, so the honest report is WHICH ranges and WHICH
-positions it took — never a single word. The ranges it did not take fall through
-to the next rank normally. That is what lets "cheap work goes to a foreign
-worker, hard work stays on Opus 5" be two rows rather than a table rewrite.
-
-**The lowest rank of a contested family is TOTAL.** Something must answer when
-nothing above resolved, so that terminal row is the shipped default and it is
-declared as a row, not as a key — a fall-through is not a setting.
-
----
-
-## 3. The two contested families
-
-Everything else is uncontested: one question, no competition, every key P2.
-
-**`executor-band` — which model executes a SCORED task**
-
-| rank | key | mode | |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| P0 | `extra_enabled` | overlay | a route row covering this score sends it off Claude |
-| P1 | `opus5_only` | replace | the fixed 2-band Opus 5 ladder |
-| P2 | `rubric_bands_override` | replace | hand-edited, registry-less by design; resolves on PRESENCE |
-| P3 | — | terminal | the shipped score→model table |
-
-**`fixed-role-model` — which model runs a role that has no score**
-
-| rank | key | mode | |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| P0 | `extra_enabled` | overlay | a slot row holds that POSITION |
-| P1 | `opus5_only` | replace | the shipped Opus 5 variant of that position's agent |
-| P2 | — | terminal | the agent shipped for that position |
-
-Said once, for both shapes: **extra decides whether a Claude agent runs at all;
-`opus5_only` and the score tables only decide WHICH Claude agent runs where
-extra did not take it.** Under a taken band or a taken slot, `opus5_only` is
-**not consulted** — not "inert" — and it stays fully live everywhere else.
-
----
-
-## 4. A gate is not a rank — it is inertness
-
-`extra_enabled: false` does not lose a precedence contest. It means **no
-`extra_*` key is consulted at all**. A key declares `gated_by`, inherits its
-gate's row, and comes back `inert` with the reason already worded.
-
-Lane-level inertness is a THIRD thing, with nothing in the config file involved:
-
-| lane | inert | reason (must not be softened) |
-|---|---|---|
-| `/orc-quick` | `opus5_only`, `rubric_bands_override`, `extra_*` | this lane asks WHICH AGENT before every dispatch — a config that silently answered that question would break the lane's entire premise |
-| `/orc-challenge` | `opus5_only` | every agent in this lane is already `claude-opus-5` — a **no-op; the lane is unaffected, not exempt** |
-| `/orc-doc` | `opus5_only` | the same — unaffected, not exempt |
-
-**"Unaffected, not exempt"** survives verbatim. A generic "not applicable" loses
-the fact that turning the key on breaks nothing here.
-
----
-
-## 5. `announce[]` — and its exact boundary
-
-A shadowed setting must never be silent, and work must never leave Claude
-without the run saying so. Those lines are computed, worded once by the CLI, and
-printed by the lane verbatim.
-
-| goes in `announce[]` | stays with the lane |
-|---|---|
-| anything derivable from config + disk the CLI already reads: the wiki tier, pattern-cache presence, crosslink state, extra route rows and taken slots, pact / boundary / challenge state, which keys are shadowed or inert, the resolved scan tier, a run-scoped demotion | anything needing a per-task or per-run value the CLI cannot know: a task's score, a task id, a slug, a file count, a forecast number, a wave index |
-
-A line needing a runtime value is **not** emitted as a template with holes. Half
-a sentence from the CLI and half from the model is worse than either — it is a
-sentence nobody owns. Those lines stay with the lane.
-
----
-
-## 6. The ladder can move at runtime
-
-A profile that stalls twice in one run, or holds one live attempt quiet past
-`extra_demote_stale_min`, is DEMOTED to the bottom of its families for the rest
-of that run — so the next rank down becomes the effective P0. The verdict is
-recomputed from disk on every read and never stored; it is run-scoped and never
-touches the config file; it is never promoted back on its own; and it is
-ANNOUNCED, because the mirror of sending work off Claude silently is quietly
-stopping. Full rule: `extra-dispatch.md`.
-
----
-
-## 7. When the CLI is not there
-
-Exit ≠ 0, or the command is not found:
-
-1. **Say so, in one line.** Fail open with the failure stated.
-2. Use the documented defaults below.
-3. Treat **every P0 forcing mode as OFF**.
-4. Never guess a user override, and never present a default as a resolved value.
-
-The floor is the keys a run cannot start without — `max_wave_tasks: 3` ·
-`batch_pause_every: 2` · `rubric_bands: 5` · `max_scouts: 3` ·
-`default_analysis_depth: standard` · `generate_tests: false` ·
-`pattern_findings: ask` · `security_review: off`.
-
-Every other key's default is the CLI's to state. **A lane never guesses one** —
-if a decision needs a key not on that list and the CLI cannot answer, the lane
-says which key it could not resolve and stops, rather than inventing a value the
-user may have overridden.
-
----
-
-## 8. The `## Config` section every lane carries
-
-Verbatim, and identical in every lane but its own name:
-
-```markdown
-## Config
-
-**ONE resolver, and it is not you:** `orc lane config <lane> --json`. Obey
-`effective`, print every line in `announce[]` VERBATIM at preflight, and honour
-`stops[]` before wave 1. Never re-derive a value, a precedence or an inertness
-from `.claude/orc.config.yaml` — a key this lane does not read is not in the
-answer, and a key another key shadows comes back already marked. Exit ≠ 0 → say
-the CLI is unavailable and fall back to `../_shared/config-precedence.md`'s
-documented defaults, out loud. Priorities and families:
-`../_shared/config-precedence.md`.
-```
-
----
-
-## 9. The file the user edits
-
-`.claude/orc.config.yaml` holds only the keys the user changed, sits outside
-`templates/` (so `orc update` never clobbers it), and is written exclusively by
-`orc config set`. It is grouped by the QUESTION each key answers, ordered by
-rank only inside a contested family.
-
-`orc config set` regenerates its own group comments on every write and
-**never rewrites a value it was not given**: a comment the user wrote stays with
-the key it sits above, and a hand-edited multi-line block survives byte for
-byte. A key written under a retired spelling is rebuilt under its current name —
-a renamed mechanism must never be a silent revert.

+| P0 | `extra_enabled` | overlay | a slot row holds that POSITION |
+| P1 | `opus5_only` | replace | the shipped Opus 5.5 variant of that position's agent |
+| P2 | — | terminal | the agent shipped for that position |
+
+Said once, for both shapes: **extra decides whether a Claude agent runs at all;
+`opus5_only` and the score tables only decide WHICH Claude agent runs where
+extra did not take it.** Under a taken band or a taken slot, `opus5_only` is
+**not consulted** — not "inert" — and it stays fully live everywhere else.
+
+---
+
+## 4. A gate is not a rank — it is inertness
+
+`extra_enabled: false` does not lose a precedence contest. It means **no
+`extra_*` key is consulted at all**. A key declares `gated_by`, inherits its
+gate's row, and comes back `inert` with the reason already worded.
+
+Lane-level inertness is a THIRD thing, with nothing in the config file involved:
+
+| lane | inert | reason (must not be softened) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/orc-quick` | `opus5_only`, `rubric_bands_override`, `extra_*` | this lane asks WHICH AGENT before every dispatch — a config that silently answered that question would break the lane's entire premise |
+| `/orc-challenge` | `opus5_only` | every agent in this lane is already `claude-opus-5-5` — a **no-op; the lane is unaffected, not exempt** |
+| `/orc-doc` | `opus5_only` | the same — unaffected, not exempt |
+
+**"Unaffected, not exempt"** survives verbatim. A generic "not applicable" loses
+the fact that turning the key on breaks nothing here.
+
+---
+
+## 5. `announce[]` — and its exact boundary
+
+A shadowed setting must never be silent, and work must never leave Claude
+without the run saying so. Those lines are computed, worded once by the CLI, and
+printed by the lane verbatim.
+
+| goes in `announce[]` | stays with the lane |
+|---|---|
+| anything derivable from config + disk the CLI already reads: the wiki tier, pattern-cache presence, crosslink state, extra route rows and taken slots, pact / boundary / challenge state, which keys are shadowed or inert, the resolved scan tier, a run-scoped demotion | anything needing a per-task or per-run value the CLI cannot know: a task's score, a task id, a slug, a file count, a forecast number, a wave index |
+
+A line needing a runtime value is **not** emitted as a template with holes. Half
+a sentence from the CLI and half from the model is worse than either — it is a
+sentence nobody owns. Those lines stay with the lane.
+
+---
+
+## 6. The ladder can move at runtime
+
+A profile that stalls twice in one run, or holds one live attempt quiet past
+`extra_demote_stale_min`, is DEMOTED to the bottom of its families for the rest
+of that run — so the next rank down becomes the effective P0. The verdict is
+recomputed from disk on every read and never stored; it is run-scoped and never
+touches the config file; it is never promoted back on its own; and it is
+ANNOUNCED, because the mirror of sending work off Claude silently is quietly
+stopping. Full rule: `extra-dispatch.md`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. When the CLI is not there
+
+Exit ≠ 0, or the command is not found:
+
+1. **Say so, in one line.** Fail open with the failure stated.
+2. Use the documented defaults below.
+3. Treat **every P0 forcing mode as OFF**.
+4. Never guess a user override, and never present a default as a resolved value.
+
+The floor is the keys a run cannot start without — `max_wave_tasks: 3` ·
+`batch_pause_every: 2` · `rubric_bands: 5` · `max_scouts: 3` ·
+`default_analysis_depth: standard` · `generate_tests: false` ·
+`pattern_findings: ask` · `security_review: off`.
+
+Every other key's default is the CLI's to state. **A lane never guesses one** —
+if a decision needs a key not on that list and the CLI cannot answer, the lane
+says which key it could not resolve and stops, rather than inventing a value the
+user may have overridden.
+
+---
+
+## 8. The `## Config` section every lane carries
+
+Verbatim, and identical in every lane but its own name:
+
+```markdown
+## Config
+
+**ONE resolver, and it is not you:** `orc lane config <lane> --json`. Obey
+`effective`, print every line in `announce[]` VERBATIM at preflight, and honour
+`stops[]` before wave 1. Never re-derive a value, a precedence or an inertness
+from `.claude/orc.config.yaml` — a key this lane does not read is not in the
+answer, and a key another key shadows comes back already marked. Exit ≠ 0 → say
+the CLI is unavailable and fall back to `../_shared/config-precedence.md`'s
+documented defaults, out loud. Priorities and families:
+`../_shared/config-precedence.md`.
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. The file the user edits
+
+`.claude/orc.config.yaml` holds only the keys the user changed, sits outside
+`templates/` (so `orc update` never clobbers it), and is written exclusively by
+`orc config set`. It is grouped by the QUESTION each key answers, ordered by
+rank only inside a contested family.
+
+`orc config set` regenerates its own group comments on every write and
+**never rewrites a value it was not given**: a comment the user wrote stays with
+the key it sits above, and a hand-edited multi-line block survives byte for
+byte. A key written under a retired spelling is rebuilt under its current name —
+a renamed mechanism must never be a silent revert.
