 Two operational notes. A copy dropped into a project-scope `.claude/skills/archify` is a compat import and stays untrusted until `integrations.projectResources.trustProjectImports` is on; install through Clio to get a trusted, provenance-stamped copy. And since the skill's authoring loop is several `bash` calls (validate, deliver, verify), `auto-edit` is the sensible permission posture for a mapping session; full manual approval works but prompts on every command.
 
+Architecture mapping through Archify follows a structured pipeline across distinct stages: deterministic structural seed generation (`clio-coder context map`), model-authored refinement, deliverable validation (`validate`, `deliver`, profile checks, and Clio verifiers), and review. Clio derives the deterministic architecture seed from the structural codewiki without model calls; Archify validates and renders the model's semantic refinements. Standard validation checks schema conformance and layout composition, while verification commands check path and symbol citations against the workspace. Mechanical validation passes do not establish semantic claims or visual layout quality: source review assesses semantic claims, while visual review in a browser assesses layout presentation. Custom model-authored maps can remain layout-invalid until iteratively refined.

+Authored whole-phrase triggers rank before incidental description or name overlap. Matching remains lexical: interactive offer guidance asks the model to check installed alternatives and relevance before presenting an offer. A match does not guarantee that a model will offer or use the skill.
+
+Interactive offers require a bound operator answer before installation. Headless runs emit a passive installation hint; that reminder opens no interview and performs no installation or activation. Installing a skill makes it discoverable; listing it or supplying an explicit skill path makes it available, while loading its body remains subject to activation policy. At `read-only` and `suggest`, activation requires an operator request; `auto-edit` and `full-auto` may activate installed skills. A suggestion alone continues the task without activation.

 These suites exercise Clio's one evaluation engine from a source checkout: run the deterministic built-in authority corpus with `node dist/cli/index.js eval run --suite evals/behavioral-machinery.yaml --clio-coder-entry dist/cli/index.js`, or select a configured model target for `behavioral-model.yaml`, `behavioral-model-negative-control.yaml`, and `tracked-metrics-baseline.yaml`. The npm archive keeps these inputs for inspection and reproducibility, but the deterministic TypeScript driver uses the repository development toolchain. The graders and fixtures beside the suites are versioned inputs; `behavioral-machinery-baseline.json` is retained as reference evidence, not as a release gate.
 
 The single-system boundary is the engine under `src/domains/eval`: suites, verdict validation, artifact envelopes, comparison, and reporting belong there, while `evals/` contains source-checkout reference inputs and deterministic drivers. In v0.5.0, external-benchmark adapters such as SWE-bench and Terminal-Bench should translate their cases and grader observations into this engine's suite, execution, and verdict contracts, then consume its artifacts and comparison reports instead of adding a parallel harness.
+
+`tool-surface-model.yaml` is a dedicated model-required suite for read tail arguments, bash working-directory reset between calls, and rejection of a non-HTTP web_fetch URL. Run it with a configured target using `node dist/cli/index.js eval run --suite evals/tool-surface-model.yaml --target <target-id> --model <model-id> --trials 3 --clio-coder-entry dist/cli/index.js`. This invokes the selected model and incurs its normal inference cost. The URL case deliberately expects one tool error; it requires no successful web request. The target must expose all three tools, and local policy blocks are measured separately from execution errors.
+
+Each trial records `tools.calls.<tool>`, `tools.succeeded.<tool>`, `tools.failed.<tool>`, and `tools.blocked.<tool>` from terminal tool events, plus grader correctness. Compare repeated runs with the same target, model, and settings when evaluating a description change; no arbitrary text perturbation is guaranteed to worsen model behavior. CI executes the suite and real graders against controlled successful and failing event fixtures without calling a model. Those contracts validate the evaluation machinery and are not live model scores.
