Setting the variable is not delivering the credential: `secrets exec` exits 0 whenever the command ran, which is not evidence the consumer read the environment, so name the consuming tool's own configuration surface before trusting it. npm reads NO environment variable \u2014 neither `NPM_TOKEN` nor `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` \u2014 so `npm publish` must pair the variable with a temp npmrc that references it: write the placeholder TEXT `//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN}` (never a value) into a mode-600 temp file, run `secrets exec <org>/npm/live/publish-token --as NODE_AUTH_TOKEN -- npm publish --userconfig \"$NPMRC\"`, then delete the file; npm expands `${...}` inside an npmrc at read time, which is the only reason that variable works at all. Renaming the variable fixes nothing \u2014 the npmrc pairing is the mechanism. A bare `secrets exec <key> --as NODE_AUTH_TOKEN -- npm publish` puts the token where npm never looks and falls through to whatever ambient `~/.npmrc` exists, so it appears to work on a box that has one and fails exactly where it was advertised as safe: a credential-zero sandbox or CI. Do NOT capture `secrets get` by command substitution: since @hasna/secrets 0.2.9 it is redacted by default, so `VAR=$(secrets get <key>)` assigns a redacted or empty string that breaks the consumer with a misleading auth or registry error; `secrets get <key> --check` (length and sha256 only) proves a credential exists, and `--show`/`--plaintext` are the explicit escape hatches for the rare case a value must actually be read. Check there before reporting work blocked on a missing credential. Never print a credential value to find out whether one is set: `env | grep <credential-name>`, `echo $TOKEN`, `cat` on a credential file, and printed `secrets get <key> --show` output all write the value into a session transcript that is replayed on every later turn. Test for presence without revealing it (`[ -n \"$VAR\" ] && echo set`, or `secrets get <key> --check`, which prints length and sha256 only).

Checking and probing on that pass or cycle is bounded intervention, not idle-watching. Distinguish throttling from death \u2014 a high or rising API 529 / overload retry count means the agent is alive and being rate-limited, so give it more time; killing a throttled agent discards its entire accumulated context for nothing. Re-dispatch any agent that actually died to an overload error, and never spawn a duplicate of a live one. Read liveness from a transcript's modification time and a bounded tail, never a full subagent transcript, and judge it from at least two independent signals \u2014 heartbeat, transcript activity, and work artefacts such as a pushed branch or open pull request \u2014 because a subagent transcript path is a SYMLINK whose own mtime is fixed when the link is created and never tracks the agent's writes, so statting it without dereferencing measures the link and not the work: a live agent's apparent silence is then only its own age, growing without limit, which guarantees that any agent still working past the thirty-minute replacement threshold looks replaceable. Dereference explicitly with stat -Lc %Y or date -r, and never build a growth check on stat -c %s of that path, which for a symlink returns the byte length of the target path string and so is constant forever.

+    "30. Agents are addressable by name, and the first thing to suspect when a peer seems unreachable is a tool you have not loaded rather than a peer who is absent. `SendMessage` is a DEFERRED tool on runtimes that defer tool schemas: the name is listed but the schema is not, so calling it fails validation until `ToolSearch` with `select:SendMessage` loads it \u2014 load it before concluding anyone is unreachable, and look in the deferred list rather than only the loaded one. A loaded `SendMessage` can still fail to resolve a name, and when it does the peer is genuinely not addressable from where you are: say so and take the channel fallback below rather than retrying. Address the peer by name and say what you need; the coordinator is not a message bus, and relaying through it what a peer can be told directly costs two extra turns, loses detail in the retelling, and puts the coordinator in the path of an exchange it does not need to see. Eleven agents did exactly that in one day, each having decided from one failed call that its peer could not be reached. Reply to what is addressed to you, answer a peer's question yourself instead of routing the answer upward, and take to the coordinator only what the coordinator alone can decide. When a peer genuinely cannot be reached, post to the shared channel rather than to the coordinator: a channel post outlives both agents and is readable by whoever picks the work up, where a direct message reaches only the session it was addressed to and is lost if that session never runs again.

+    '31. Claim the artefact, not the job. As measured on 2026-08-02, `conversations locks acquire <repo>/<path>` takes an advisory lock on the thing you are about to change: exit 0 means acquired, and exit 1 means held by another agent. `locks check <key>` exits 0 when FREE and 2 when HELD, so the natural guard `if conversations locks check "$K"; then handle_contention; fi` is inverted: it fires when the key is free and stays silent when the key is held. A same-agent re-acquire returns 0 and cannot be distinguished from re-acquiring after a lapse; every acquire refreshes `locked_at`. The `check --json` payload has eight fields \u2014 `agent_id`, `expires_at`, `lock_type`, `locked`, `locked_at`, `resource_id`, `resource_type`, and `tenant_id` \u2014 and no lock id, generation counter, acquire sequence, or previous-holder trace. Therefore this is a mutex, not a lease with provable continuity: it announces a concurrent cross-agent holder at acquire time and nothing else. Derive write safety from the artefact by reading its current content or hash immediately before writing and confirming it matches what the change was based on; the artefact check survives a lapse, the lock does not. `locks release <key>` is idempotent, and `locks list` shows what is held. Key it on the artefact\'s stable identity \u2014 the repo and file path, the table and row, the channel and thread \u2014 never on the name of the work, and release it when the change lands rather than at session end. A tracked task is the one case with a mechanism of its own: claim it with the todos CLI\'s own start-and-lock, because that lock and this one are separate stores that cannot see each other, and taking the wrong one leaves you holding a claim no other agent will think to look for. A prose claim posted to a channel prevents nothing: two claims can name different jobs while touching the same rows, and each agent reads the other\'s claim as unrelated. That has now happened three times in one day. Two agents did it and duplicated a knowledge merge inside the twenty-six seconds between a check that found no conflict and the act that collided; a third pair spent a morning independently writing the same brief for the owner and found out only when one of them posted about it. In every case both agents claimed a job and neither claimed an artefact. Acquiring the lock is the check and the act in one call for concurrent cross-agent contention at that moment; the artefact read is what closes the separate check-then-write window.',
+    "32. A yielded agent is stopped, not paused. While it is stopped it runs no code of its own: a watcher it armed to poll on its behalf polls nothing, and a timer it set to check something later checks nothing. What restarts it is an event delivered from outside \u2014 a message from another agent, a new turn from its user, or a completion the runtime reports to it, such as a background job or a delegated worker finishing. The distinction that matters is not what the trigger is called but who runs it: a trigger an agent arms inside its own turn, expecting to be woken by its own machinery, wakes nothing. Believing otherwise is expensive and has been: nine sessions reloaded their entire context on the assumption that a watcher they had armed would wake them, and every one of those reloads was paid for out of work that did not get done. This is also why yielding to wait on a delegated worker is sound where polling for it in a loop is not, and why a session-long inbox watch is still worth arming: it queues what arrives and the session reads the queue on the turn that something else delivers. Two consequences follow and both are operative. Before you yield, finish or hand off \u2014 record what you know on the durable surfaces and leave no state that only a wake-up could recover, because a transcript nobody resumes is lost work.

The cost of skipping this is measured and repeated \u2014 five separate seats hand-rolled a polling script while `conversations watch` was already shipped and installed, and a skill present in exactly one of six homes was rebuilt instead of installed to the other five. So: when the thing exists but is missing where you are, install or extend it rather than writing a parallel one; when it genuinely does not exist, build it in the package that owns the domain instead of leaving a script behind. An empty search result is not proof of absence: a tool whose index is not ready has nothing to say about what exists, and in machine-readable form it says so quietly \u2014 `search find --json` reports `indexed: false` with zero results and exit 0, which a parser cannot tell from a genuine absence. Confirm that the index or corpus you searched actually covers where the thing would live before concluding it is not there."

Setting the variable is not delivering the credential: `secrets exec` exits 0 whenever the command ran, which is not evidence the consumer read the environment, so name the consuming tool's own configuration surface before trusting it. npm reads NO environment variable \u2014 neither `NPM_TOKEN` nor `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` \u2014 so `npm publish` must pair the variable with a temp npmrc that references it: write the placeholder TEXT `//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN}` (never a value) into a mode-600 temp file, run `secrets exec <org>/npm/live/publish-token --as NODE_AUTH_TOKEN -- npm publish --userconfig \"$NPMRC\"`, then delete the file; npm expands `${...}` inside an npmrc at read time, which is the only reason that variable works at all. Renaming the variable fixes nothing \u2014 the npmrc pairing is the mechanism. A bare `secrets exec <key> --as NODE_AUTH_TOKEN -- npm publish` puts the token where npm never looks and falls through to whatever ambient `~/.npmrc` exists, so it appears to work on a box that has one and fails exactly where it was advertised as safe: a credential-zero sandbox or CI. Do NOT capture `secrets get` by command substitution: since @hasna/secrets 0.2.9 it is redacted by default, so `VAR=$(secrets get <key>)` assigns a redacted or empty string that breaks the consumer with a misleading auth or registry error; `secrets get <key> --check` (length and sha256 only) proves a credential exists, and `--show`/`--plaintext` are the explicit escape hatches for the rare case a value must actually be read. Check there before reporting work blocked on a missing credential. Never print a credential value to find out whether one is set: `env | grep <credential-name>`, `echo $TOKEN`, `cat` on a credential file, and printed `secrets get <key> --show` output all write the value into a session transcript that is replayed on every later turn. Test for presence without revealing it (`[ -n \"$VAR\" ] && echo set`, or `secrets get <key> --check`, which prints length and sha256 only). Consume a secret with `secrets exec <key> --as VAR -- <cmd>` \u2014 the value reaches only the consuming command's environment, never output. Do not capture it by substitution: since @hasna/secrets 0.2.9 `get` is redacted by default and refuses plaintext on a non-TTY, so `VAR=$(secrets get <key>)` assigns a redacted or empty string that later fails as a misleading auth or registry error.

On each scheduled steering pass, and on each cycle of whatever else is already steering them, check every agent still outstanding: one that has produced output or a heartbeat recently is healthy; after roughly ten minutes of silence, send it a direct one-line status request; replace it only after roughly thirty minutes of silence or two unanswered probes, and never one whose probe you have not waited out. Checking and probing on that pass or cycle is bounded intervention, not idle-watching. Distinguish throttling from death \u2014 a high or rising API 529 / overload retry count means the agent is alive and being rate-limited, so give it more time; killing a throttled agent discards its entire accumulated context for nothing. Re-dispatch any agent that actually died to an overload error, and never spawn a duplicate of a live one. Read liveness from a transcript's modification time and a bounded tail, never a full subagent transcript, and judge it from at least two independent signals \u2014 heartbeat, transcript activity, and work artefacts such as a pushed branch or open pull request \u2014 because a subagent transcript path is a SYMLINK whose own mtime is fixed when the link is created and never tracks the agent's writes, so statting it without dereferencing measures the link and not the work: a live agent's apparent silence is then only its own age, growing without limit, which guarantees that any agent still working past the thirty-minute replacement threshold looks replaceable. Dereference explicitly with stat -Lc %Y or date -r, and never build a growth check on stat -c %s of that path, which for a symlink returns the byte length of the target path string and so is constant forever. Because agents do die mid-flight, the record-as-you-go duty in rule 2 applies with full force: findings that live only in a lost transcript are lost work.",
+  "26. An agent working in the background makes its own liveness observable, because a coordinator reading a transcript cannot: refresh its last-seen marker at roughly ten-minute intervals, and put one line of current status on the surfaces rule 2 already requires. A heartbeat sets a cadence and adds a marker; it is never a second account of the work, and it is owed whether or not anyone has asked for it.",
+  "27. Settle what will end a review cycle before you start it, and settle on something reachable while findings still exist: a cycle that ends only when the reviewer returns nothing is the never-terminating test worded as a stop. On each scheduled steering pass, decide explicitly whether this is the last pass, and whether any review cycle under it should end, and record why. Diminishing returns, or remaining gaps that are named and shippable, are reasons to stop; a reviewer still finding things is not a reason to continue. Stopping is a decision you make, not one you drift into; when the delegated work is done, end the pass.",

+  "SECURITY DUTIES",
+  '28. When a credential value is exposed \u2014 printed into a transcript or log, committed, pasted, or leaked in any other form \u2014 post it to the `incidents` channel immediately, naming the credential, its scope, its expiry, its blast radius, and the root cause, and never the value itself. Never ask the owner to rotate a credential, and never put credential rotation in a "What I need from you" list: the owner has ruled that piecemeal rotation is not worth their time and that all credentials are rotated together once the system is stable, so an exposure is recorded, not escalated. Recording it to `incidents` is the required action and it completes the duty \u2014 do not stop, defer, or block work on it, and do not raise the ask again in a later reply. None of this weakens the ban on exposing a credential value; it governs only what happens after an exposure has already occurred.',
+  "",
+  "SESSION AWARENESS DUTIES",
+  "29. An interactive session arms one background inbox monitor at session start and keeps it running for the whole session. It emits a notification the session actually reads on each of: a task assigned to the session's identity that a different agent put there \u2014 drop the ones the session created itself, because self-created tasks are noise. Implement that against what the store actually carries rather than what the filter is called: a todos task has no `created_by` field today, and `assigned_by`, the field that looks like it would serve, is populated on only a small minority of rows \u2014 so a true creator filter is not yet expressible, and a monitor written as though it were silently drops almost everything. Until the field exists, filter on what is there and tolerate the surplus rather than claim a precision you do not have; a new message in the session's project channel; a new message in announcements, incidents, or git-publishing; an unread blocking message; and a direct message addressed to the session. These surfaces are how anything that postdates the session's inlined context reaches it \u2014 a rule set rewritten after session start arrives only as an announcement, so a session that is not watching keeps running rules it cannot know are stale. Seed every cursor at arm time so nothing older than the monitor is replayed, and drop the session's own messages \u2014 replayed history and self-noise are how a monitor gets muted. The monitor reports its own failure: after a few consecutive poll errors it emits a degraded-monitor notification, and repeats it while the outage persists, because a dead monitor is indistinguishable from a quiet inbox. Watch further channels \u2014 git-prs, git-commits, git-releases among them \u2014 only while the session is doing the work they carry and a message there can change what the session does next; every added channel is a notification the agent learns to ignore. Use a package-owned primitive that composes these feeds wherever the owning CLI ships a fit one, a hand-rolled poll loop only until then, and treat a notification as a trigger to read and act through the normal surfaces, never as a substitute for the session-start reads this document already requires.",
+  "",
+  "PEER COORDINATION DUTIES",
+  "30. Agents are addressable by name, and the first thing to suspect when a peer seems unreachable is a tool you have not loaded rather than a peer who is absent. `SendMessage` is a DEFERRED tool on runtimes that defer tool schemas: the name is listed but the schema is not, so calling it fails validation until `ToolSearch` with `select:SendMessage` loads it \u2014 load it before concluding anyone is unreachable, and look in the deferred list rather than only the loaded one. A loaded `SendMessage` can still fail to resolve a name, and when it does the peer is genuinely not addressable from where you are: say so and take the channel fallback below rather than retrying. Address the peer by name and say what you need; the coordinator is not a message bus, and relaying through it what a peer can be told directly costs two extra turns, loses detail in the retelling, and puts the coordinator in the path of an exchange it does not need to see. Eleven agents did exactly that in one day, each having decided from one failed call that its peer could not be reached. Reply to what is addressed to you, answer a peer's question yourself instead of routing the answer upward, and take to the coordinator only what the coordinator alone can decide. When a peer genuinely cannot be reached, post to the shared channel rather than to the coordinator: a channel post outlives both agents and is readable by whoever picks the work up, where a direct message reaches only the session it was addressed to and is lost if that session never runs again. None of this cancels a coordinator's own duty to relay findings between agents that are waiting on each other: that duty is a coordinator closing a gap it can see, not workers routing ordinary traffic through it.",
+  '31. Claim the artefact, not the job. As measured on 2026-08-02, `conversations locks acquire <repo>/<path>` takes an advisory lock on the thing you are about to change: exit 0 means acquired, and exit 1 means held by another agent. `locks check <key>` exits 0 when FREE and 2 when HELD, so the natural guard `if conversations locks check "$K"; then handle_contention; fi` is inverted: it fires when the key is free and stays silent when the key is held. A same-agent re-acquire returns 0 and cannot be distinguished from re-acquiring after a lapse; every acquire refreshes `locked_at`. The `check --json` payload has eight fields \u2014 `agent_id`, `expires_at`, `lock_type`, `locked`, `locked_at`, `resource_id`, `resource_type`, and `tenant_id` \u2014 and no lock id, generation counter, acquire sequence, or previous-holder trace. Therefore this is a mutex, not a lease with provable continuity: it announces a concurrent cross-agent holder at acquire time and nothing else. Derive write safety from the artefact by reading its current content or hash immediately before writing and confirming it matches what the change was based on; the artefact check survives a lapse, the lock does not. `locks release <key>` is idempotent, and `locks list` shows what is held. Key it on the artefact\'s stable identity \u2014 the repo and file path, the table and row, the channel and thread \u2014 never on the name of the work, and release it when the change lands rather than at session end. A tracked task is the one case with a mechanism of its own: claim it with the todos CLI\'s own start-and-lock, because that lock and this one are separate stores that cannot see each other, and taking the wrong one leaves you holding a claim no other agent will think to look for. A prose claim posted to a channel prevents nothing: two claims can name different jobs while touching the same rows, and each agent reads the other\'s claim as unrelated. That has now happened three times in one day. Two agents did it and duplicated a knowledge merge inside the twenty-six seconds between a check that found no conflict and the act that collided; a third pair spent a morning independently writing the same brief for the owner and found out only when one of them posted about it. In every case both agents claimed a job and neither claimed an artefact. Acquiring the lock is the check and the act in one call for concurrent cross-agent contention at that moment; the artefact read is what closes the separate check-then-write window.',
+  "32. A yielded agent is stopped, not paused. While it is stopped it runs no code of its own: a watcher it armed to poll on its behalf polls nothing, and a timer it set to check something later checks nothing. What restarts it is an event delivered from outside \u2014 a message from another agent, a new turn from its user, or a completion the runtime reports to it, such as a background job or a delegated worker finishing. The distinction that matters is not what the trigger is called but who runs it: a trigger an agent arms inside its own turn, expecting to be woken by its own machinery, wakes nothing. Believing otherwise is expensive and has been: nine sessions reloaded their entire context on the assumption that a watcher they had armed would wake them, and every one of those reloads was paid for out of work that did not get done. This is also why yielding to wait on a delegated worker is sound where polling for it in a loop is not, and why a session-long inbox watch is still worth arming: it queues what arrives and the session reads the queue on the turn that something else delivers. Two consequences follow and both are operative. Before you yield, finish or hand off \u2014 record what you know on the durable surfaces and leave no state that only a wake-up could recover, because a transcript nobody resumes is lost work. And when you are coordinating, resume a stopped agent by sending it a message rather than waiting for it to notice on its own.",
+  "33. Run at most two sub-agents concurrently on a sweep \u2014 any run where you would otherwise start several at once \u2014 on every tool and every runtime, not only the one whose own rules happen to say so. The cap is about the machine rather than the agent: each sub-agent is a process tree that scans files, runs suites, and installs packages, so the failure mode is not a slower sweep but a station that stops answering \u2014 an unpaced sweep drove twenty cores to a load average of ninety, starving both the agents the sweep depended on and every unrelated session sharing the box. Widen only on the user's explicit instruction, and only after looking at what else is already running there. Otherwise sequence in pairs: twenty items is ten pairs rather than one wave, and the pairs finish sooner than the wave that thrashes.",
+  "",
+  "REUSE DUTIES",
+  "34. Search before you build. Before writing a script, a helper, a poll loop, or a skill, look for the one that already exists: `search find <term>` across the workspace, `--help` on the CLI that owns the domain, and the skill corpus in every home the fleet installs into rather than only the home you happen to be running in \u2014 enumerate those homes rather than assuming the one you can see is all of them. The cost of skipping this is measured and repeated \u2014 five separate seats hand-rolled a polling script while `conversations watch` was already shipped and installed, and a skill present in exactly one of six homes was rebuilt instead of installed to the other five. So: when the thing exists but is missing where you are, install or extend it rather than writing a parallel one; when it genuinely does not exist, build it in the package that owns the domain instead of leaving a script behind. An empty search result is not proof of absence: a tool whose index is not ready has nothing to say about what exists, and in machine-readable form it says so quietly \u2014 `search find --json` reports `indexed: false` with zero results and exit 0, which a parser cannot tell from a genuine absence. Confirm that the index or corpus you searched actually covers where the thing would live before concluding it is not there."

Checking and probing on that pass or cycle is bounded intervention, not idle-watching.

Read liveness from a transcript's modification time and a bounded tail, never a full subagent transcript, and judge it from at least two independent signals \u2014 heartbeat, transcript activity, and work artefacts such as a pushed branch or open pull request \u2014 because a subagent transcript path is a SYMLINK whose own mtime is fixed when the link is created and never tracks the agent's writes, so statting it without dereferencing measures the link and not the work: a live agent's apparent silence is then only its own age, growing without limit, which guarantees that any agent still working past the thirty-minute replacement threshold looks replaceable. Dereference explicitly with stat -Lc %Y or date -r, and never build a growth check on stat -c %s of that path, which for a symlink returns the byte length of the target path string and so is constant forever.

Agents are addressable by name, and the first thing to suspect when a peer seems unreachable is a tool you have not loaded rather than a peer who is absent. `SendMessage` is a DEFERRED tool on runtimes that defer tool schemas: the name is listed but the schema is not, so calling it fails validation until `ToolSearch` with `select:SendMessage` loads it \u2014 load it before concluding anyone is unreachable, and look in the deferred list rather than only the loaded one. A loaded `SendMessage` can still fail to resolve a name, and when it does the peer is genuinely not addressable from where you are: say so and take the channel fallback below rather than retrying. Address the peer by name and say what you need; the coordinator is not a message bus, and relaying through it what a peer can be told directly costs two extra turns, loses detail in the retelling, and puts the coordinator in the path of an exchange it does not need to see. Eleven agents did exactly that in one day, each having decided from one failed call that its peer could not be reached. Reply to what is addressed to you, answer a peer's question yourself instead of routing the answer upward, and take to the coordinator only what the coordinator alone can decide. When a peer genuinely cannot be reached, post to the shared channel rather than to the coordinator: a channel post outlives both agents and is readable by whoever picks the work up, where a direct message reaches only the session it was addressed to and is lost if that session never runs again. None of this cancels a coordinator's own duty to relay findings between agents that are waiting on each other: that duty is a coordinator closing a gap it can see, not workers routing ordinary traffic through it.",
+    '31. Claim the artefact, not the job. As measured on 2026-08-02, `conversations locks acquire <repo>/<path>` takes an advisory lock on the thing you are about to change: exit 0 means acquired, and exit 1 means held by another agent. `locks check <key>` exits 0 when FREE and 2 when HELD, so the natural guard `if conversations locks check "$K"; then handle_contention; fi` is inverted: it fires when the key is free and stays silent when the key is held. A same-agent re-acquire returns 0 and cannot be distinguished from re-acquiring after a lapse; every acquire refreshes `locked_at`. The `check --json` payload has eight fields \u2014 `agent_id`, `expires_at`, `lock_type`, `locked`, `locked_at`, `resource_id`, `resource_type`, and `tenant_id` \u2014 and no lock id, generation counter, acquire sequence, or previous-holder trace. Therefore this is a mutex, not a lease with provable continuity: it announces a concurrent cross-agent holder at acquire time and nothing else. Derive write safety from the artefact by reading its current content or hash immediately before writing and confirming it matches what the change was based on; the artefact check survives a lapse, the lock does not. `locks release <key>` is idempotent, and `locks list` shows what is held. Key it on the artefact\'s stable identity \u2014 the repo and file path, the table and row, the channel and thread \u2014 never on the name of the work, and release it when the change lands rather than at session end. A tracked task is the one case with a mechanism of its own: claim it with the todos CLI\'s own start-and-lock, because that lock and this one are separate stores that cannot see each other, and taking the wrong one leaves you holding a claim no other agent will think to look for. A prose claim posted to a channel prevents nothing: two claims can name different jobs while touching the same rows, and each agent reads the other\'s claim as unrelated. That has now happened three times in one day. Two agents did it and duplicated a knowledge merge inside the twenty-six seconds between a check that found no conflict and the act that collided; a third pair spent a morning independently writing the same brief for the owner and found out only when one of them posted about it. In every case both agents claimed a job and neither claimed an artefact. Acquiring the lock is the check and the act in one call for concurrent cross-agent contention at that moment; the artefact read is what closes the separate check-then-write window.',

While it is stopped it runs no code of its own: a watcher it armed to poll on its behalf polls nothing, and a timer it set to check something later checks nothing. What restarts it is an event delivered from outside \u2014 a message from another agent, a new turn from its user, or a completion the runtime reports to it, such as a background job or a delegated worker finishing. The distinction that matters is not what the trigger is called but who runs it: a trigger an agent arms inside its own turn, expecting to be woken by its own machinery, wakes nothing. Believing otherwise is expensive and has been: nine sessions reloaded their entire context on the assumption that a watcher they had armed would wake them, and every one of those reloads was paid for out of work that did not get done. This is also why yielding to wait on a delegated worker is sound where polling for it in a loop is not, and why a session-long inbox watch is still worth arming: it queues what arrives and the session reads the queue on the turn that something else delivers. Two consequences follow and both are operative. Before you yield, finish or hand off \u2014 record what you know on the durable surfaces and leave no state that only a wake-up could recover, because a transcript nobody resumes is lost work.

Check there before reporting work blocked on a missing credential. Never print a credential value to find out whether one is set: `env | grep <credential-name>`, `echo $TOKEN`, `cat` on a credential file, and printed `secrets get <key> --show` output all write the value into a session transcript that is replayed on every later turn.

On each scheduled steering pass, and on each cycle of whatever else is already steering them, check every agent still outstanding: one that has produced output or a heartbeat recently is healthy; after roughly ten minutes of silence, send it a direct one-line status request; replace it only after roughly thirty minutes of silence or two unanswered probes, and never one whose probe you have not waited out. Checking and probing on that pass or cycle is bounded intervention, not idle-watching. Distinguish throttling from death \u2014 a high or rising API 529 / overload retry count means the agent is alive and being rate-limited, so give it more time; killing a throttled agent discards its entire accumulated context for nothing. Re-dispatch any agent that actually died to an overload error, and never spawn a duplicate of a live one. Read liveness from a transcript's modification time and a bounded tail, never a full subagent transcript, and judge it from at least two independent signals \u2014 heartbeat, transcript activity, and work artefacts such as a pushed branch or open pull request \u2014 because a subagent transcript path is a SYMLINK whose own mtime is fixed when the link is created and never tracks the agent's writes, so statting it without dereferencing measures the link and not the work: a live agent's apparent silence is then only its own age, growing without limit, which guarantees that any agent still working past the thirty-minute replacement threshold looks replaceable. Dereference explicitly with stat -Lc %Y or date -r, and never build a growth check on stat -c %s of that path, which for a symlink returns the byte length of the target path string and so is constant forever. Because agents do die mid-flight, the record-as-you-go duty in rule 2 applies with full force: findings that live only in a lost transcript are lost work.",

An agent working in the background makes its own liveness observable, because a coordinator reading a transcript cannot: refresh its last-seen marker at roughly ten-minute intervals, and put one line of current status on the surfaces rule 2 already requires.

It emits a notification the session actually reads on each of: a task assigned to the session's identity that a different agent put there \u2014 drop the ones the session created itself, because self-created tasks are noise. Implement that against what the store actually carries rather than what the filter is called: a todos task has no `created_by` field today, and `assigned_by`, the field that looks like it would serve, is populated on only a small minority of rows \u2014 so a true creator filter is not yet expressible, and a monitor written as though it were silently drops almost everything. Until the field exists, filter on what is there and tolerate the surplus rather than claim a precision you do not have; a new message in the session's project channel; a new message in announcements, incidents, or git-publishing; an unread blocking message; and a direct message addressed to the session. These surfaces are how anything that postdates the session's inlined context reaches it \u2014 a rule set rewritten after session start arrives only as an announcement, so a session that is not watching keeps running rules it cannot know are stale. Seed every cursor at arm time so nothing older than the monitor is replayed, and drop the session's own messages \u2014 replayed history and self-noise are how a monitor gets muted. The monitor reports its own failure: after a few consecutive poll errors it emits a degraded-monitor notification, and repeats it while the outage persists, because a dead monitor is indistinguishable from a quiet inbox. Watch further channels \u2014 git-prs, git-commits, git-releases among them \u2014 only while the session is doing the work they carry and a message there can change what the session does next; every added channel is a notification the agent learns to ignore.

+  "PEER COORDINATION DUTIES",
+  "30. Agents are addressable by name, and the first thing to suspect when a peer seems unreachable is a tool you have not loaded rather than a peer who is absent. `SendMessage` is a DEFERRED tool on runtimes that defer tool schemas: the name is listed but the schema is not, so calling it fails validation until `ToolSearch` with `select:SendMessage` loads it \u2014 load it before concluding anyone is unreachable, and look in the deferred list rather than only the loaded one. A loaded `SendMessage` can still fail to resolve a name, and when it does the peer is genuinely not addressable from where you are: say so and take the channel fallback below rather than retrying. Address the peer by name and say what you need; the coordinator is not a message bus, and relaying through it what a peer can be told directly costs two extra turns, loses detail in the retelling, and puts the coordinator in the path of an exchange it does not need to see. Eleven agents did exactly that in one day, each having decided from one failed call that its peer could not be reached. Reply to what is addressed to you, answer a peer's question yourself instead of routing the answer upward, and take to the coordinator only what the coordinator alone can decide. When a peer genuinely cannot be reached, post to the shared channel rather than to the coordinator: a channel post outlives both agents and is readable by whoever picks the work up, where a direct message reaches only the session it was addressed to and is lost if that session never runs again. None of this cancels a coordinator's own duty to relay findings between agents that are waiting on each other: that duty is a coordinator closing a gap it can see, not workers routing ordinary traffic through it.",
+  '31. Claim the artefact, not the job. As measured on 2026-08-02, `conversations locks acquire <repo>/<path>` takes an advisory lock on the thing you are about to change: exit 0 means acquired, and exit 1 means held by another agent. `locks check <key>` exits 0 when FREE and 2 when HELD, so the natural guard `if conversations locks check "$K"; then handle_contention; fi` is inverted: it fires when the key is free and stays silent when the key is held. A same-agent re-acquire returns 0 and cannot be distinguished from re-acquiring after a lapse; every acquire refreshes `locked_at`. The `check --json` payload has eight fields \u2014 `agent_id`, `expires_at`, `lock_type`, `locked`, `locked_at`, `resource_id`, `resource_type`, and `tenant_id` \u2014 and no lock id, generation counter, acquire sequence, or previous-holder trace. Therefore this is a mutex, not a lease with provable continuity: it announces a concurrent cross-agent holder at acquire time and nothing else. Derive write safety from the artefact by reading its current content or hash immediately before writing and confirming it matches what the change was based on; the artefact check survives a lapse, the lock does not. `locks release <key>` is idempotent, and `locks list` shows what is held. Key it on the artefact\'s stable identity \u2014 the repo and file path, the table and row, the channel and thread \u2014 never on the name of the work, and release it when the change lands rather than at session end. A tracked task is the one case with a mechanism of its own: claim it with the todos CLI\'s own start-and-lock, because that lock and this one are separate stores that cannot see each other, and taking the wrong one leaves you holding a claim no other agent will think to look for. A prose claim posted to a channel prevents nothing: two claims can name different jobs while touching the same rows, and each agent reads the other\'s claim as unrelated. That has now happened three times in one day. Two agents did it and duplicated a knowledge merge inside the twenty-six seconds between a check that found no conflict and the act that collided; a third pair spent a morning independently writing the same brief for the owner and found out only when one of them posted about it. In every case both agents claimed a job and neither claimed an artefact. Acquiring the lock is the check and the act in one call for concurrent cross-agent contention at that moment; the artefact read is what closes the separate check-then-write window.',
+  "32. A yielded agent is stopped, not paused. While it is stopped it runs no code of its own: a watcher it armed to poll on its behalf polls nothing, and a timer it set to check something later checks nothing. What restarts it is an event delivered from outside \u2014 a message from another agent, a new turn from its user, or a completion the runtime reports to it, such as a background job or a delegated worker finishing. The distinction that matters is not what the trigger is called but who runs it: a trigger an agent arms inside its own turn, expecting to be woken by its own machinery, wakes nothing. Believing otherwise is expensive and has been: nine sessions reloaded their entire context on the assumption that a watcher they had armed would wake them, and every one of those reloads was paid for out of work that did not get done. This is also why yielding to wait on a delegated worker is sound where polling for it in a loop is not, and why a session-long inbox watch is still worth arming: it queues what arrives and the session reads the queue on the turn that something else delivers. Two consequences follow and both are operative. Before you yield, finish or hand off \u2014 record what you know on the durable surfaces and leave no state that only a wake-up could recover, because a transcript nobody resumes is lost work. And when you are coordinating, resume a stopped agent by sending it a message rather than waiting for it to notice on its own.",

Widen only on the user's explicit instruction, and only after looking at what else is already running there.

The cost of skipping this is measured and repeated \u2014 five separate seats hand-rolled a polling script while `conversations watch` was already shipped and installed, and a skill present in exactly one of six homes was rebuilt instead of installed to the other five. So: when the thing exists but is missing where you are, install or extend it rather than writing a parallel one; when it genuinely does not exist, build it in the package that owns the domain instead of leaving a script behind. An empty search result is not proof of absence: a tool whose index is not ready has nothing to say about what exists, and in machine-readable form it says so quietly \u2014 `search find --json` reports `indexed: false` with zero results and exit 0, which a parser cannot tell from a genuine absence.
