 # `@henryqw/pi-subagent`
 
-Main is the parent Pi session. It can delegate bounded single, parallel, and chained tasks, plus package-owned Git Flow work, to isolated Pi child roles.
+Main, the parent Pi session, can delegate bounded single, parallel, and chained tasks to isolated child Roles. It also provides a fixed Git Flow for independent implementation work.
 
 ![Pi showing six delegated tasks running in parallel](./example.png)
 
 ## Why
 
 - **Created for**: Delegate bounded work to isolated child Pi processes without losing Main's context.
-- **Advantage**: Generic bounded delegation and a deterministic package-owned Git Flow use reusable Role launch policies for package authors.
+- **Advantage**: Generic delegation and Git Flow use the same Role settings.

-| `delegate_flow_continue` | tool | Repair the blocked Flow unit once in its existing worktree. |

+| `delegate_task` | Run one bounded task, independent tasks in parallel, or dependent tasks in a chain. |
+| `delegate_flow` | Implement and integrate 1–8 independent Git units. |
+| `delegate_flow_continue` | Repair the one blocked Flow unit once. |
 
-Select exactly one shape:
+Pi's built-in tool block shows each call and result. Select exactly one `delegate_task` shape:
 
 ```text

-// Parallel: 1–8 independent delegations
+// Parallel: 1–8 independent tasks
 { tasks: [{ role, name, task, model?, modelClass? }], background? }
 
-// Chain: 1–8 dependent delegations
+// Chain: 1–8 dependent tasks
 { chain: [{ role, name, task, model?, modelClass? }], background? }
 ```
 
-Main supplies every delegation's required `name`: a short description of about five words and fewer than 30 characters. Names must not contain C0/C1 control characters, including newlines and terminal escape characters.
-
-#### Model routing
+Main supplies each `name`. It must be a short description, about five words and fewer than 30 characters, with no C0/C1 control characters such as newlines or terminal escapes. `role` and an explicit `model` also reject those controls.
 
-1. `modelClass` selects a route. It is `fast`, `balanced`, `frontier`, or `fav`.
-2. An omitted class uses pi-subagent's `pi-subagent/delegateTask` declaration. Its default is `fast`.
-3. The route supplies the model and exact thinking level.
-4. An explicit `model` is `provider/modelId`. It replaces only the route model and must support its thinking level.
+`modelClass` selects `fast`, `balanced`, `frontier`, or `fav`. The route sets the model and exact thinking level. An explicit `model` (`provider/modelId`) replaces only the route model and must support that thinking level. `background` applies to the whole selected mode, never one entry.
 
-`background` applies to the whole selected mode. It is never a per-delegation field.
+Parallel tasks start together, settle together, and report in input order. Chains are sequential and fail at the first failure. `{previous}` passes only the immediately preceding successful assistant output. Foreground failures throw after keeping bounded sibling and recovery evidence.
 
-The transient status widget renders one line per child with: status glyph, bracketed uppercase role initial (`[I]` for `implementer`, `[R]` for `reviewer`, and likewise for custom Roles), Main-supplied short name, activity (thinking… or active tool with elapsed time and path basename), and metrics (completed turns, started tools, compact `model·thinking` pair, tokens, total duration). Rows are ordered active-first (working items first, stable insertion order for the rest). A hard six-physical-line maximum applies: when total items are six or fewer, all child rows render; above six, five child rows plus one status-aware overflow line render (`… N more · X working · Y complete · Z failed · W stopped`). Terminal rows clear on the next real user input; active rows persist until the child settles. It is separate from Pi's built-in tool-execution block.
+One call has one aggregate 50 KiB cap for Main-visible text. Background work belongs to its launching session; shutdown or reload aborts it and may leave only recoverable-work evidence or no follow-up message.
 
-#### Modes, limits, and isolation
+Each entry resolves its own Role, resources, route, and optional isolation. A Role with `isolation: worktree` gets a separate deterministic worktree when available. Non-Git and unborn-`HEAD` contexts can use Main's directory. Other setup failures, including unsafe submodule layouts, reject instead of falling back. Siblings and chain steps never share a created worktree.
 
-- Parallel mode starts entries concurrently, waits for every entry, and reports them in input order.
-- Chain mode is sequential and fail-fast. Each literal `{previous}` receives only the immediately preceding successful assistant output.
-- Foreground failures throw after retaining bounded sibling and recovery evidence.
-- One tool call has one aggregate 50 KiB Main-visible transport cap. It is not 50 KiB per child.
-- Background workflows are session-scoped. Session shutdown or reload aborts them and may deliver only recoverable-work evidence or no follow-up message.
-- Each delegation resolves its own Role, resources, route, and optional worktree request.
-- When available, `isolation: worktree` gives each entry a deterministic separate worktree. Non-Git or unborn-`HEAD` contexts may use Main's cwd.
-- Siblings and chain steps never implicitly share one created worktree.

+### Flow
 
-### `delegate_flow`
-
-Use Flow only for independent, commuting Git changes. Commuting changes can integrate in any order.
-
-Flow accepts 1–8 uniquely identified units. Each unit has a required Main-supplied short `name`, bounded task, optional `modelClass`, direct command/argument validation gate, and optional non-empty `review` judgment criterion. Names must not contain C0/C1 control characters, including newlines and terminal escape characters.
+Flow requires a clean Main worktree on an attached branch with a committed `HEAD`. Use it only for independent Git changes that can merge in any order. Do not split units that overlap files, APIs, schemas, generated output, package metadata, lockfiles, or invariants.
 
 ```text
 delegate_flow({ units: [{ id, name, task, modelClass?, validation: [{ command, args }], review? }] })
 delegate_flow_continue({ guidance, modelClass? })
 ```
 
-![Delegate Flow lifecycle](./docs/delegate-flow.svg)
-
-Objective verification is authoritative. Flow always inspects committed Git state and runs declared validation.
-
-A unit without `review` skips review evidence and Reviewer launch. It fast-forwards its exact validated tip through the existing guarded `git merge --ff-only` path.
-
-Add `review` only for judgment that automation cannot establish. That unit keeps the exact `{base, tip, patchPath}` protocol and requires exact `PASS` before the same integration path.
-
-Only one memory-only Flow may be active. At start, it resolves and freezes the effective `implementer` Role, including a same-named user override. It resolves and freezes the effective `reviewer` only when at least one unit requests `review`.
+A Flow has 1–8 units with unique non-empty IDs. It is memory-only and allows one active Flow. It freezes the effective Implementer at start and freezes the Reviewer only when a unit requests `review`.
 
-An omitted `modelClass` uses the local `pi-subagent/delegateTask` declaration, which defaults to `fast`. A selected class resolves through its shared profile model-and-thinking route for the unit's Implementer and, when applicable, Reviewer.
+- Each unit gets one worktree. Implementers run in parallel. Flow handles units in declared order.
+- Flow runs each declared command with its arguments. That validation is authoritative for objective checks.
+- Without `review`, Flow fast-forwards the exact validated tip.
+- With `review`, the Reviewer receives the exact `{base, tip, patchPath}` packet and must return exactly `PASS` before the same integration path. Use `review` only for stated judgment that validation cannot decide.
 
-Flow creates one Unit Worktree per unit before it launches Implementers. It runs Implementers in parallel, then processes settled results in declared order.
+One `delegate_flow_continue` can repair an Implementer, validation, or review block in the same worktree. Omitting its class keeps the unit's class; supplying one changes that repair only. A second block is terminal. Rebase and infrastructure failures are terminal. Flow has no dependency graph, saved recovery, automatic retry, aggregate review, or post-merge validation.
 
-After integration, it removes the worktree and branch non-forcibly. A refusal is a completion warning with the retained worktree path and/or branch.
-
-A rebase that drops all unit commits is a no-op. Flow validates it, skips Reviewer and merge, then cleans up ordinarily.
-
-Implementer, validation, or review blocks can be repaired once through `delegate_flow_continue` in the same worktree. An omitted continuation `modelClass` retains the blocked unit's current class. A supplied class replaces it for that one repair.
-
-Rebase and infrastructure failures are terminal. A reported fast-forward failure completes with its diagnostic as a warning only when Git left Main clean at the exact integrated tip.
-
-Otherwise it is terminal and retains the affected worktree. Flow has no graph, saved recovery, automatic retry, aggregate review, or post-merge gate.
-
-`delegate_task` keeps its generic isolation behavior. Flow uses the package-shipped Implementer by default and the package-shipped Reviewer only when a unit requests review; the built-in Scout is not part of Flow. Same-named user Roles remain supported overrides.
-
-### Delegate UI summary
-
-The transient status widget shows status glyph, role, status label, task summary, activity, and metrics for each child. Activity is `thinking…` or the active tool with elapsed time and path basename. Metrics are completed turns, started tools, model, thinking level, tokens, and total duration.
-
-| Aspect | Behavior |
-| --- | --- |
-| Tool-execution block | Pi's built-in renderer: live updates and expandable call/result content |
-| Widget rows | One line per child: glyph, `[role initial]`, short name, activity, metrics |
-| Ordering | Active-first stable (working first, then insertion order) |
-| Line cap | 6 physical lines max (≤6 items: all child rows; >6 items: 5 rows + 1 status-aware overflow) |
-| Terminal retention | Active rows persist; terminal rows clear on next user input |
-
-- Rows are active-first: working items first, then stable insertion order.
-- The hard six-physical-line maximum shows all child rows for six or fewer items.
-- Above six, it shows five child rows and one status-aware overflow line: `… N more · X working · Y complete · Z failed · W stopped`.
-- Terminal rows clear on the next real user input. Active rows persist until the child settles.
-- The final `delegate_task` block is deliberately minimal. It has bounded final summaries and role attribution for parallel and chain work. It shows only retained-worktree recovery paths.
+Flow never force-deletes recoverable work. Failed or uncertain units, and cleanup refusals after integration, retain their worktree path or branch for recovery. See [Flow mechanics and recovery](./docs/orchestration.md#delegate_flow).
 
 ## Config
 
-pi-subagent owns the extension-named config directory `~/.pi/agent/config/pi-subagent/`. It holds two kinds of user-owned configuration.
-
-One Markdown file belongs to each Role (see [Roles](#roles)). The other is its own optional JSON file below.
-
-`~/.pi/agent/config/pi-subagent/config.json` controls the child pool and execution limits. All fields are optional. A missing file uses defaults without a warning.
-
-| Field | Required | Possible values | Default |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| `maxSubagents` | No | Safe integer ≥ 1 | `5` |
-| `maxTurns` | No | Safe integer ≥ 1 | `50` |
-| `timeout.idleMinutes` | No | Positive number of minutes where minutes × 60 000 ms ≤ 2,147,483,647 | `10` |
-| `timeout.maxMinutes` | No | Positive number within the same ms cap that must be greater than `timeout.idleMinutes`, otherwise the whole `timeout` object falls back to defaults | `30` |
+pi-subagent owns `~/.pi/agent/config/pi-subagent/config.json`. It is optional. A missing file uses these defaults without a warning.
 
-- Excess children wait FIFO without consuming child timeout.
-- A terminal response on turn 50 succeeds.
-- An attempted continuation starts no model work and rejects with `turn_limit`.
-- Before a continuing turn, the child gets one warning when completed turns reach 80%.
-- It gets another warning when elapsed time reaches 80% of the maximum runtime.
-- If both thresholds are first reached together, the child gets one combined warning.
-- `PI_SUBAGENT_MAX_SUBAGENTS` overrides `maxSubagents` for the session. It must be a positive integer. An invalid value prevents the extension from loading and leaves `delegate_task` unavailable.
-
-This JSON is read leniently. Malformed JSON, a non-object root, unknown keys, or invalid values are collected into one warning.
-
-The affected settings fall back to defaults. The file is never rewritten.

-### Role frontmatter

+`PI_SUBAGENT_MAX_SUBAGENTS` overrides `maxSubagents` for the session. It must be a positive integer. An invalid value prevents the extension from loading, so `delegate_task` is unavailable.
 
 ## Roles
 
-The package ships three working built-in Roles. They are always available without configuration.
-
-- `implementer`: focused edits requesting worktree isolation; commits completed scoped changes locally and never pushes or opens PRs without authorization
-- `reviewer`: read-only correctness review of supplied plans or files, or—only when a Flow unit declares `review`—of Flow's exact `{base, tip, patchPath}` packet in its Unit Worktree; never edits or commits
-- `scout`: read-only code and evidence mapping for one bounded task; never changes files
-
-A same-named Markdown file in `~/.pi/agent/config/pi-subagent/` explicitly overrides the built-in default. The built-in `scout` is available to generic `delegate_task`; `delegate_flow` remains limited to its fixed Implementer/Reviewer protocol.
-
-The repository also includes one optional inert sample:
-
-- [`synthesizer`](./examples/roles/synthesizer.md): reconcile supplied reports
-
-Copy it manually from your installed `@henryqw/pi-subagent` package if you want a starting point. npm installs ship the `examples/roles/` directory.
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.pi/agent/config/pi-subagent
-cp <package-install-dir>/examples/roles/synthesizer.md ~/.pi/agent/config/pi-subagent/
-```
+Role Markdown files live beside the config file. They require frontmatter and a Markdown system prompt body.
 
-Locate the install directory with `npm root` inside your project, or through Pi's package installation path.
-
-The package never installs or writes Role configuration. After copying, edit or replace `synthesizer.md` as your own Role.
-
-## Skill
-
-The bundled [`pi-subagent-delegated-development`](./skills/pi-subagent-delegated-development/SKILL.md) Skill is Main-side planner and orchestrator policy only. `delegate_flow` owns its fixed Git mechanics and validation authority.
+| Field | Requirement |
+| --- | --- |
+| `name` | Required unique, non-empty text without C0/C1 controls. |
+| `description` | Required non-empty text without C0/C1 controls. |
+| `tools` | Required YAML array of non-empty tool names. `[]` selects no base built-ins. |
+| `isolation` | Optional; only `worktree`. |
+| `extensions` | Required YAML array. Entries are absolute paths, `~/…`, `file://`, or `npm:`, `git:`, `github:`, `https?:`, or `ssh:` sources. |
+| `skills` | Required YAML array of non-empty Skill names. |
+| body | Required Markdown system prompt after the frontmatter. |
 
-The Skill adds no runtime code, configuration, or Role installation. Generic orchestration remains outside the executor under [ADR 001](./docs/adr/001-composable-ephemeral-execution.md).
+An unreadable or invalid Role fails loading fast. Duplicate Role names are rejected. A same-named user file overrides a built-in Role.
 
-## Role, Skill, and resource trust
+The package always provides these built-in Roles:
 
-### Role resources
+| Role | Purpose | Isolation/use |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `implementer` | Make and validate one focused change. | Requests a worktree; commits scoped work locally. Never pushes or opens a PR without permission. |
+| `reviewer` | Review supplied plans or files for correctness. | Read-only. For Flow review, reads the exact packet in the Unit Worktree; never edits or commits. |
+| `scout` | Map code and evidence for one bounded task. | Read-only and generic `delegate_task` only; never changes files. |
 
-A Role explicitly owns base tools, extensions, named Skills, instructions, and optional `isolation: worktree`. Every launch installs its Role tool policy.
+Flow uses the effective Implementer and, only when requested, Reviewer. The Scout is not part of Flow.
 
-Named Skills resolve through Main's effective Pi Skill registry. Ambient extension and Skill discovery is disabled in children.
+## Role resources and trust
 
-### Trusted extensions are not sandboxing
+A Role selects base tools, extensions, named Skills, instructions, and optional worktree isolation. Named Skills resolve from Main's effective Pi registry; unavailable ones warn and skip.
 
-Selecting an extension explicitly selects a trusted atomic capability bundle, not just a provider path. Every tool it registers and every Skill supplied through its Pi package metadata or dynamic `resources_discover` loads alongside separately named Role Skills.
+Children disable ambient extension and Skill discovery. `tools: []` adds no base tools, but selected extension tools and caller tools still activate. `extensions: []` adds no Role extension bundle. `skills: []` adds no separately named Role Skills, but selected extension Skills still load.
 
-This is intentional. An extension may depend on its tools, Skills, lifecycle, and prompt behavior. Loading it permits that executable behavior and is not sandboxing.
+An explicitly selected extension is trusted, not sandboxed. Its tools, Skills, and executable behavior load together. Select fewer trusted extensions to reduce scope. pi-subagent does not guess or remove undocumented dependencies.
 
-Scope a child by selecting fewer trusted extensions. Finer-grained selection requires separate extension entry points or configuration, or an upstream split. pi-subagent does not infer or externally narrow undocumented dependencies.
+Parent-only delegation tools and `ask_question` are always excluded. Requested Role or caller tool names are checked after provider loading; unavailable tools fail before the first model turn.
 
-### Tool filtering
+## Skill
 
-- `tools: []` activates no base built-ins. Trusted selected extension tools and explicit caller tool additions still activate.
-- `skills: []` selects no separately named Role Skills. Trusted selected extension Skills still load.
-- `extensions: []` selects no Role extension bundle.
-- Parent-only recursive orchestration tools and interactive `ask_question` are excluded from children.
-- Explicit Role or caller tool names are verified against the child’s final filtered active registry after provider extensions finish `session_start`.
-- Unavailable tool names fail before the first model turn with provider-extension guidance. Unavailable named Skills warn and skip.
+The bundled [`pi-subagent-delegated-development`](./skills/pi-subagent-delegated-development/SKILL.md) Skill guides Main's planning and orchestration. It adds no runtime code, config, or Role installation. `delegate_flow` owns its Git mechanics and validation authority.
 
 ## Library API
 
-The package root exports Role loading and launch resolution, `createEphemeralSubagentExecutor`, and worktree helpers.
-
-The executor is for code already running inside active Pi. It does not provide standalone Node.js Pi discovery or launch support.
-
-It defaults to a hard limit of 50 turns. An attempted continuation rejects with `turn_limit` while preserving accumulated usage and bounded output.
-
-After Pi exits, the executor drains inherited stdout and stderr normally. It destroys streams held by escaped descendants after a short inactivity deadline or one-second hard deadline, so they cannot retain a pool permit.
-
-Use [`docs/orchestration.md`](./docs/orchestration.md#public-role-and-executor-api) for exact API behavior.
+The package root exports `loadRoles`, `resolveRoleSkills`, `resolveRoleLaunch`, `createRoleLaunch`, `createEphemeralSubagentExecutor`, and worktree helpers. The executor works only inside the active Pi process; it does not discover or start a standalone Node.js Pi installation.
 
-It includes a post-permit `prepare` example. The example uses `resolveRoleLaunch` with a caller-owned Model Task declaration against the latest Pi context.
+See the [public Role and executor API](./docs/orchestration.md#public-role-and-executor-api) for contracts and a `prepare` example.

-The repository includes one optional inert sample, not installed configuration:

-| Sample | Intended starting point |

-Copy the package-shipped sample from your installed `@henryqw/pi-subagent` package (npm installs include `examples/roles/`) if you want it:

 The bundled [`pi-subagent-delegated-development`](../skills/pi-subagent-delegated-development/SKILL.md) Skill is Main-side planner/orchestrator policy only. `delegate_flow` owns its fixed Git mechanics and objective validation authority; the Skill defines no runtime code or configuration. `delegate_task` remains the generic flat single/parallel/chain mechanism.
