+## Shared prompts
+
+The `braid` tool accepts a `promptTemplates` object alongside `goal`, `nodes`,
+`edges`, and `options`. For example, define
+`"promptTemplates": { "review": "Review {{target}}. Report evidence and file references." }`
+and use `"prompt": { "template": "review", "variables": { "target": "src/runtime.ts" } }`
+on a node. This keeps repeated instructions out of the parent model's tool-call
+arguments; workers still receive the full rendered prompt.
+
+Placeholders use `{{name}}`, with names matching `[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*` and
+optional whitespace inside the braces. Variables must match the template exactly
+and have string values; insertion is literal and never recursively rendered.
+Core validates all templates and rendered prompts before the job starts.
+Plain-string prompts and omitted merge prompts keep their existing behavior.
+Templates are scoped to this submission, with no saved registry. See the
+[core template guide](https://github.com/Epsirom/braid#reusable-prompt-templates)
+for a complete graph and validation rules.
+
+## Node completion reminders and live control
+
+Set `notifyOnCompletion: true` on selected nodes for completion/failure reminders.
+Each reminder identifies the exact `executionId` and optional loop iteration.
+`braid_status({jobId, executionId})` retrieves that instance's full output/error;
+`nodeId` selects the latest instance. Skipped executions stay silent. Reminders
+are acknowledged when they enter context and retried if foreground cancellation
+drops the queued message. Session shutdown suppresses delivery.
+
+Set `pauseAfter: true` to hold an execution's outgoing scheduling and receive a
+pause reminder. Independent branches continue. Fetch `braid_status` to obtain
+`execution.revision` and `execution.pausedExecutionIds`, then:
+
+```json
+{
+  "jobId": "job-1",
+  "expectedRevision": 0,
+  "upsertNodes": [{ "type": "execute", "id": "fix", "prompt": "Implement the findings." }],
+  "addEdges": [{ "from": "inspect", "to": "fix", "executionId": "<paused-execution-id>" }],
+  "resume": ["<paused-execution-id>"]
+}
+```
+
+Pass this to `braid_update`. It validates and commits the full change and resume
+atomically. To continue without edits, call `braid_resume({jobId,
+expectedRevision, executionIds})`. Definitions can be changed while executions
+are running or waiting, including inside a loop. Existing instances keep their
+captured prompt, inputs, and policy; completion routes through the latest graph.
+Rejected revisions/changes have no effects. Finalized jobs cannot be reopened.
+
+`requireSuccess` defaults to false. Optional failures retain artifacts and allow
+unconditional recovery; required failures cancel siblings and fail the job after
+cleanup. All loops declare a finite `maxIterations`; total `maxExecutions`
+defaults to 1000 and spans updates. Deadlines keep running through pauses.
+
+See [execution control](../../docs/execution-control.md) for loop schemas, exact
+update semantics, historical dependencies, and workspace lineage. There is no
+scheduler persistence across Pi reloads. Reminders alone do not pause execution.

-In Git, execute and decision nodes also get `write`/`edit` restricted to their own
-detached worktree, plus local Git inspection. Outside Git, filesystem tools stay
-read-only. Nodes never receive shell commands or a test runner.
-
-The initial snapshot includes tracked staged/unstaged changes, deletions, and
-non-ignored untracked files. It preserves the source index and files. Ignored
-files are not copied; submodules are not initialized or recursively snapshotted,
-and Pi rejects writes inside them to keep checkpoint recovery complete.
-Every worker shares that baseline until a merge ends, after which new workers
-snapshot the current source checkout. Uncommitted predecessor changes are not
-implicitly applied to downstream workers. Their paths and checkpoint refs are
-available as context for inspection.
-
-A `merge` node accepts multiple predecessors and an optional prompt/model. It
-operates in the source checkout, with guarded `write`/`edit` and local `git`
-commands (`add`, `commit`, `merge`, `cherry-pick`, `apply`, `restore`, plus
-inspection). The agent decides which changes to use and how to integrate them.
-Core never automatically merges or cherry-picks. The agent must call
-`finish_merge` with `integrated`, `discarded`, or `archived` and a reason for every
-source. Tool errors and conflicts go back to the agent for recovery. Failed
-predecessors pass errors and partial work along unconditional edges.
-
-Core removes processed source worktrees after the merge agent finishes. If any
-worktrees remain after declared nodes settle, core appends a final merge agent.
-Its model, tool calls, budgets, events, and usage behave like any other node.
-Missing finish calls, unresolved conflicts, or archived sources fail the merge.

-
-`braid_status` includes core's `workspaces` map with workspace paths, states,
-reasons, `checkpointRef`, and pre-merge `backupRef`. The panel distinguishes active
-worktrees from cleaned workspaces. Worktrees use
-`os.tmpdir()/braid-workspaces-*/<unique-id>`; after removal their contents remain
-recoverable from `refs/braid/checkpoints/*`. Use `git show <checkpointRef>:<path>`
-or `git diff <snapshotCommit> <checkpointRef>` to inspect archived changes.
-Remove individual recovery refs with `git update-ref -d <ref>` once reviewed.
-
-A failed merge does not reset partial changes or conflict state in the source

-retained paths instead of silently claiming success. A process crash cannot run
-cleanup. The merge mutex coordinates runs in the same process only; avoid parent
-edits to the source checkout while a merge agent is running.
-
-File writes reject external paths, Git metadata, symlinks, hard links, and special
-files. Read access follows Pi's normal permissions. This does not replace an OS
-sandbox against concurrent filesystem attacks. For programmatic use, pass
-`createPiRunner(...)` to core `braid(..., { cwd, runner })`; calling the runner
-directly without a core workspace gives read-only capabilities.
+Inside Git, every execution gets a new worktree based on predecessor checkpoints.
+Root executions use the initial job snapshot, including tracked and non-ignored
+untracked caller edits. Later loop rounds get new worktrees; they never reuse a
+previous invocation's workspace. `workspace: "read-only"` disables write/edit
+while retaining an isolated snapshot. Outside Git, all filesystem access is
+read-only. Search tools require installed `rg`/`fd`; shell/tests are unavailable.
+
+`merge` combines predecessor results into a new isolated worktree. `integrate`
+applies selected changes to the invoking checkout and preserves user edits. Both
+expose Git integration commands and `finish_merge`, require per-source
+`executionId` dispositions, and forbid the `workspace` property. Use ordinary
+execute/decision nodes for analysis; a worker with independent changed code
+inputs needs an explicit merge to produce its starting snapshot.
+
+Nothing is automatically integrated at job completion. To apply implementation
+results, explicitly connect them to an integrate node:
+
+```json
+{
+  "goal": "Implement and review a fix",
+  "nodes": [
+    { "type": "execute", "id": "implement", "prompt": "Make the fix." },
+    { "type": "execute", "id": "review", "prompt": "Review the fix.", "workspace": "read-only" },
+    { "type": "integrate", "id": "apply", "requireSuccess": true }
+  ],
+  "edges": [{ "from": "implement", "to": "review" }, { "from": "review", "to": "apply" }]
+}
+```
+
+`braid_status` retains execution-keyed workspace paths, checkpoint refs, and target
+merge dispositions. Cleanup removes worktrees while keeping immutable checkpoints.
+Inspect with `git show <checkpointRef>:path`. Integration additionally saves a
+pre-write backup ref. A failed integration can leave partial source changes or
+conflicts; core does not reset the caller's checkout. Integrations serialize
+within the process, without locking parent edits or other processes.
+
+Pi's guarded writes reject external paths, Git metadata, symlinks, hard links,
+and special files. This is a capability boundary, not an OS sandbox. A custom
+runner must honor the core write barrier so cancellation can drain writes before
+cleanup. Calling the Pi runner without an assigned workspace stays read-only.
