+Direct tasks use their Role's declared resources, including write tools, within explicit task authorization. Resource/trust validation and recursive-delegation exclusions still apply. A direct `changeset` is rejected; use isolated mode for checked integration. Roles do not classify writes: a request is a write request when any task declares `access: "write"`. Write requests run serially and reserve checkout admission until owned workers are proved stopped. Read requests skip admission and return plain text; their parallel `tasks` run concurrently up to `maxSubagents`, while a chain stays ordered; `read` is not enforced. Results stay in request order. A chain substitutes only the preceding successful output and stops at its first failure.
 
 The internal `git_read` tool is read-only and loads only when declared in the Role's `tools`; the built-in reviewer includes it. Supply named refs and paths for bounded local Git evidence without Bash. User reviewer overrides must opt in explicitly. Exact isolated review keeps the supplied patch authoritative; named-ref inspection may supply only referenced context, never another branch or worktree's candidate diff. Reviewers still run no tests or mutations and approve with exactly `PASS`.
 
-Writes and commits immediately change the shared checkout; there is no automatic validation, rollback, or isolated promotion. A potential-writer final answer must be a JSON object with `outcome` (`succeeded`, `failed`, or `blocked`) and a non-empty `answer`; only explicit worker-reported success permits later dispatch or admission release, not merely a normally settled Pi turn. Preserve unrelated files and index entries, require explicit commit/external-action scope, and report checkout status. Uncertain launch after tab creation, failure, or cancellation retains admission and exact recovery identities. Inspect `/subagent`, stop remaining owned workers, inspect and preserve changes, then restart Pi before new writes. Admission covers this Main's Pi calls, not other sessions or external processes.

 The tool returns a handle after the first exact Herdr tab is launched. The remaining tabs are launched asynchronously; their identities are recorded on the session branch. A session-owned observer awaits each exact agent's lifecycle and retrieves its final answer from its Pi session file, not its possibly truncated screen. Idle, blocked, unknown, malformed, or oversized answers fail with recoverable tab/session identity; no whole-run deadline is imposed. `/subagent` shows exact recorded tabs on this session branch, distinguishing locally observed work from unobserved records. A session switch stops observation and carries tab identity into the new branch.
 
-The result is delivered to Main with `triggerTurn: true, deliverAs: "followUp"`. Busy Main finishes its current turn before consuming the result; idle Main starts a turn. Herdr reports worker lifecycle but never prompts Main directly. Read-only workers can observe a concurrently changing checkout; consumers must account for drift rather than treating a tab as file isolation.
+`continueFrom` resolves to exactly one recorded tab on the current session branch; an unknown or ambiguous reference, a different Role, or a second continuation of the same worker in one request fails before launch. The request also fails before launch while a locally active task owns the worker's session, when the session file is missing or above 16 MiB, or when its last exact turn for the recorded prompt is not terminal. Records without a saved turn identity (written before 27.0.0) are not continuable. Each record saves its Herdr workspace and checkout; a record from another workspace or checkout is refused. A session continued again has a later user turn, so only its newest reference is continuable. A still-listed old agent must match the exact recorded identity and be idle or done; it is closed with the same proof as termination (pane absence and two empty lease scans), and an absent agent still needs the two empty scans. The worker then starts in a new non-focused tab with Pi `--session` on the same file and the same private lease, a new agent name, and a new reference and record. Its answer is matched by the new prompt's turn identity. Access, admission, write rules, and route precedence are the same as for a new task; the handle and result name the source reference.
+
+In `/subagent`, a locally owned active workflow whose tasks are all `read` offers **Stop this worker** for each running worker. Each entry has its own abort controller linked to the workflow controller. Stop aborts only that entry, sends Ctrl-C, and proves termination with the exact pane close, pane absence, and two empty lease scans. The entry fails with `Stopped by user from /subagent` and keeps partial output; siblings continue, a chain stops later steps, and Main still receives one result. Write workflows offer only all-or-nothing Close. Stop uses the same session, branch, epoch, and ownership guards as Close. If a stop proof fails, the workflow keeps local ownership after its siblings settle, so Close can retry termination.
+
+The result is delivered to Main with `triggerTurn: true, deliverAs: "followUp"`. Busy Main finishes its current turn before consuming the result; idle Main starts a turn. Herdr reports worker lifecycle but never prompts Main directly. Read-access workers can observe a concurrently changing checkout; consumers must account for drift rather than treating a tab as file isolation.

 `/subagent` opens a native picker for direct recovery and isolated inspection; locally owned active changesets may queue an optional same-worker revision or drain all still-pending instructions into the native editor and submit one replacement. Cancel after draining leaves them withdrawn; claimed instructions are unaffected. Pi's global Option+Up is unchanged. There is no guaranteed post-completion editing window; late follow-ups fail visibly. After readiness, use `subagent_stage revise` with an exact candidate, generation, current `expectedTip`, and instruction when a same-worker correction remains allowed. Material scope growth, missing authorization, user-owned conflicts, or consequential external actions still require a new decision. pi-subagent never pushes, publishes, deploys, or opens a pull request.

+`subagent_status` puts failed review verdicts from every task's latest attempt (also while siblings run), the final gate, and each generation into its model-visible text within one shared 32 KiB budget and counts omitted verdicts; its structured projection carries each verdict up to 32 KiB and sets `verdictTruncated` when it is cut; asynchronous follow-ups keep a short preview and point Main to `subagent_status`. It reports ready candidates with `taskId`, `attempt`, and `tip`, plus each generation's number, stage lineage, combined tip, checks, promotion, and retained worktree. Use those exact identities (including branch, HEAD, index, and tree) rather than guessed commits:
 
 - `subagent_stage`: `{ id, action: "stage" | "resolve" | "reject" | "revise", generation, taskId, attempt, candidate, expectedTip, instruction? }`. `candidate` is the ready candidate's `tip`; `expectedTip` is Main's recorded identity for the first stage or the previous stage's exact tip. `resolve` reconciles a pending/conflicted merge; `reject` and `revise` arbitrate a candidate without changing Main.
 - `subagent_integrate`: `{ id, action: "advance" | "validate" | "correct" | "promote" | "reconcile" | "cleanup", generation, expectedTip }`. Use the generation's exact `combinedTip`. `advance` dispatches ready dependents on that snapshot, `correct` records the single clean committed correction after a definitive failed check/review, `reconcile` inspects an interrupted validation or promotion without replaying an uncertain promotion, and `cleanup` completes proved post-promotion cleanup.

Without a retained candidate, it removes only owned checkouts still clean and unchanged from their pinned base, including ignored-file checks. Active productive execution defers cleanup until it settles. Repeating abort on an aborted request reconciles pending cleanup without replaying uncertain termination.

Isolated workers persist a private exact Pi session under the owned process lease so a proved final answer without a changed clean commit becomes attention rather than an indefinitely pending prompt. Missing or mismatched session proof cannot establish completion and never authorizes prompt replay. When a proved finished turn leaves tracked or untracked changes in a valid owned worktree, the runner sends the same worker one commit reminder per attempt, saved as a follow-up prompt record before delivery like any other prompt. It does not use a correction or a dispatch attempt. The runner never commits, stages, stashes, or discards; a commit from the reminder goes through the normal candidate path, and a worktree still dirty after it needs attention. `subagent_status` is read-only and remains the recovery authority if a follow-up is missed. `subagent_resume` accepts only the continuation reported by state. A `retry` that sends a same-worker correction may add an `instruction` (at most 32000 exact characters, no NUL), appended to the correction prompt as Main's instruction after the saved failure and saved in its prompt record before delivery; other actions reject it. `subagent_abort` performs exact worker termination and conservative teardown. Without a retained candidate, it removes only owned checkouts still clean and unchanged from their pinned base, including ignored-file checks.

+`/subagent prune` reviews every `pi-subagent/subagent-<24 hex>` branch in the repository and its `.worktrees/` checkout. An item is removable only when its tip is an ancestor of Main's HEAD or the local `origin` default-branch ref (no fetch), the checkout is still on its own branch (a detached or switched owned checkout is found by path and blocks), has no tracked or untracked changes, no initialized submodules, and no in-progress Git operation, no non-terminal or unreadable state in any of the repository's checkouts records its name (a non-regular state entry counts as unreadable and may own any name), no productive lease is live, and no Herdr pane works inside the checkout (unavailable Herdr refuses). Removal needs interactive confirmation; checkouts with ignored files need a second confirmation that names each ignored entry in full, and a checkout whose list does not fit is left out; that approval covers each entry with all its contents, and a new or changed top-level ignored entry skips the checkout. Prunable items are listed first, and only items shown in full in both dialogs can be removed; an over-long list ends with an explicit `+N more not shown` line instead of a silent cut. The confirming session's ownership is rechecked immediately before each `git worktree remove` and branch deletion. Each item is re-verified immediately before `git worktree remove`, and its branch is deleted with a compare-and-swap on the reviewed tip. Aborted requests that recorded a removed resource are then reconciled by the guarded abort path, which proves absence; requests it cannot reconcile are reported. State files are never edited directly.
 
 Text attempt history records dispatches, not pre-dispatch inspection failures. Such failures retain task-level attention without adding an attempt or rewriting earlier execution diagnostics. A recorded interrupted dispatch still consumes an attempt. Verification requires the same passing preliminary checks, judgment, and ownership as candidate retention; readiness and the verified candidate are saved together.
