+## 4.3.20

+- Install the delegation contract as a `<subagents>` prompt section and live
+  phase leases as `<subagent_leases>`. Pi 1.0 appends a section delta only when
+  that text changes, so an unchanged turn keeps the cached system prefix.
+  Hosts without a section map still append the combined directive.
+- Declare `subagent`, `subagent_status`, `subagent_stop`, and `subagent_risk`
+  as `model-only`, with read-only or destructive annotations. Codemode scripts
+  cannot call them, and they stay declared even when codemode hides `direct`
+  tools. Dispatch and stop run sequentially so one assistant message cannot
+  race phase admission.
+- Register the child no-retry provider override with the model's `api`. Pi 1.0
+  rejects a `streamSimple` registration that omits it, which left provider
+  retries at the user's setting.
+- Require Pi 1.0.0. Development dependencies track 1.0.2.
