 Group names come from your configured rules. A trusted group bypasses all review for that group, so use it only in projects you control.
 
+## Subagent sessions
+
+When a session is a [pi-subagents](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-subagents) child (`PI_SUBAGENT_CHILD=1`), the guardian receives additional execution facts with each review — run id, nesting depth, whether the cwd is a linked git worktree, and the checked-out branch — plus a prompt section telling it to judge risk by effect scope and reversibility relative to the subagent's own workspace instead of by command name. Mutations confined to the subagent's isolated worktree, its own feature branch, or resources it created are approvable when they serve the delegated task; `ask_user` is reserved for effects that escape that scope (shared or default branches, host-level configuration, production systems, credentials, data leaving the machine).
+
+Subagent sessions have no interactive user, so an `ask_user` verdict blocks the command immediately with a reason instructing the child to route around the gated operation or report the blocker. Reviewer usage records from subagent sessions carry `"subagent": true` in the usage sidecar.
+
+## Guardian dispatch
+
+Reviewer requests dispatch through the host's model runtime rather than pi-ai's compat layer, so provider transports registered by other extensions (for example `@gotgenes/pi-anthropic-auth` OAuth request shaping) apply to guardian calls. When the runtime seam is unavailable, dispatch falls back to `compat.completeSimple`.
+
 ## Failure behavior
 
 A missing reviewer model, unavailable credentials, malformed response, timeout, cancellation, or oversized review context never auto-approves a command.

+ * `ModelRuntime` -> `provider-composer.streamWith`. Auth-shaping extensions

+ * unshaped, and Claude Pro/Max OAuth requests fail with the misleading
+ * "extra usage" HTTP 400 (see gotgenes/pi-anthropic-auth
+ * docs/architecture.md, "The remaining gap: pi-ai compat dispatch").
+ *
+ * `ExtensionContext.modelRegistry` is a deliberately narrowed facade over
+ * `ModelRuntime` that re-exports `complete()` but not `completeSimple()` —
+ * and only the simple layer translates the api-agnostic `reasoning` option
+ * into each api's native thinking config. So reach the runtime's
+ * `completeSimple` through the facade's `runtime` field (a public JS field
+ * marked `private` in the .d.ts), and fall back to compat dispatch when a
+ * future pi release renames the seam — degrading to the historical behavior

 Tool requests are often individual steps in a multi-step plan. Judge whether this exact step is authorized, safe enough, and consistent with the user's requested outcome and ordering; do not require one command to complete the entire task. A command may prepare a commit now and run checks, fast-forward, or push in later tool calls. Do not return "revise" merely because another requested operation is absent from the current command. Missing work matters only when the user explicitly required atomic execution or a specific order that this step violates, or when the current step would make the requested outcome impossible.
 
+Implied follow-on authorization: when the user requests an outcome, the conventional steps that realize exactly that outcome are authorized at medium risk even when not separately named. This includes committing the requested change, pushing it to its own feature branch, creating or updating the pull request that delivers it (including its title and description), pulling or fast-forwarding the working checkout before starting requested work in it, and creating, exercising, and removing scratch resources (test containers, images, temporary files, worktrees, scratch branches) on a repository or host the user directed the work at. Implied authorization never extends to shared or default branches, force pushes or history rewrites, production data, publishing releases or packages, merging without an explicit go-ahead, or deleting resources the session did not create.
+
+Secret round-trips are not exfiltration: embedding a credential that already lives on host X inside a command executed on host X, reading a secret from a system in order to use it on that same system, or using the agent's own locally stored provider credential to call that provider's official API are normal operations for an authorized task; judge them by what the overall action does, not by the mere presence of the secret. Raise secret-exposure concerns only when secret material would move to an unrelated third destination, be committed to version control or published, be printed with no user-serving purpose, or persistently weaken security.
+
+Evidence records may be truncated for length, marked with "…[truncated N chars]…", and older tool records may be collapsed to bare status lines. Treat elision as missing detail, never as evidence that something did not happen or was not created; the latest proposed action is always complete.

 1. Return "revise" when the intended operation is authorized but the exact command violates a correctable user constraint.

+The delegated task arrives as this session's USER evidence and carries the supervising session's authorization for the work it describes.
+Judge risk by effect scope and reversibility relative to the subagent's own workspace, not by command name:
+- Mutations confined to the subagent's isolated worktree, or to resources the evidence shows the subagent created (scratch files, branches it created or first pushed, containers, images, test databases), are at most medium risk; approve them when they serve the delegated task.
+- History rewrites and force-pushes are approvable only for branches the evidence shows the subagent created or that the delegated task explicitly directs it to rewrite; a branch being checked out in the subagent's worktree does not by itself establish ownership.
+- Lifecycle commands (including with sudo) for containers or services the subagent itself stood up are part of that workflow. Restarting, reconfiguring, or disabling shared host daemons and system services is host-level configuration, not subagent scope.
+- Reserve "ask_user" for effects that escape the subagent's scope: shared or default branches, remote resources it does not own, host-level configuration, production systems, credential or secret access, and data leaving the machine.`;
