Maintenance is a separate `--with-maintenance` opt-in.
 
 Review the preview, then repeat with `--apply`; updating differing existing workflows also requires `--replace-reviewed`. Use gh-aw v0.93.2. Commit the source Markdown, router, compiled locks and action pins together. Reconcile [labels](commands/github-labels.md) through the [capability plan/apply commands](commands/capabilities.md); retain adopter customizations. Existing declarations need an explicit review when adopting labels capability version 2. Provision the runner and disable older routers before setting `LIGHTHOUSE_AUTOMATION_ENABLED=true`.

 Implementation and independent validation each create a local Git repository containing one candidate snapshot commit, without remotes, checkout configuration or hooks. This supports Git-based working-tree checks without exposing the original checkout. It does not certify earlier commits; full-history security checks remain a separate repository CI responsibility.
+
+Agent evidence is bounded to 200 regular files and 64 MiB per collection, including static previews, screenshots and reports. Symbolic links at the collection root or within it are rejected. An exceeded budget reports the file count or byte count that crossed its limit; larger collections must be curated before handoff.
+
+## Resource limits and command completion
+
+The optional operator setting `resources` accepts `implementationPids` and `planningPids`, each an integer from 128 to 4096. Defaults are 1024 and 128. Implementation and independent validation use the same implementation limit. These are Linux task slots, including threads; they do not count workflow jobs. Measure a representative sequential browser suite before lowering the limit or increasing browser concurrency.
+
+```json
+{
+  "resources": {
+    "implementationPids": 1024,
+    "planningPids": 128
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Merge this optional section into the operator configuration; preserve its image and authentication settings. The pinned adapter reads it at the start of each execution. Current runs keep their original settings. Older adapters do not consume these fields: update each adopter's immutable workflow pin through the supported installer before relying on them. The defaults require no configuration change.
+
+The [implementation skill](skills/implement/SKILL.md#workspace-command-slot) uses one managed command slot for installation, builds and tests. Each attempt has a unique receipt and log. A background shell response means execution is still pending; the agent waits for the terminal receipt before editing or retrying. Stopping a managed command terminates its process group, including background preview servers, before releasing the slot.
+
+The adapter supervises the image's existing entrypoint and each independent check with the same packaged Node helper. On Linux cgroup v2, it records task peak/limit, task-limit rejections, peak memory and OOM kills while the container still exists. `runtime.json.execution` and each `checks.json` entry retain the sanitized diagnostic summary, exit code and signal. Unsupported counters remain `null`. A confirmed resource rejection, abort, timeout or cancellation fails the attempt; diagnostics do not grant publication or retry authority.
+
+Adapter and mounted-skill updates require a new workflow source pin, without an engine-image rebuild. Rebuild only when changing tools, the engine binary or baked image policy. Follow the [workflow update procedure](README.md#install-or-update-workflows), validate on one consumer, then roll out to the remaining repositories between runs.

 Implementation can opt into [repository execution environments](execution-environments.md) for preflighted Node or .NET images and temporary host-managed PostgreSQL. Existing undeclared consumers keep their current image configuration.
 
+Implementation and validation default to 1,024 process/thread slots. The operator can set bounded `resources.implementationPids` and `resources.planningPids` in the engine configuration. The [resource guide](execution-environments.md#resource-limits-and-command-completion) covers sizing and adoption. Managed commands serialize installs, builds and tests; a background shell response must be followed to a terminal receipt. Runtime and check receipts record observed cgroup resource failures separately from abort, timeout and cancellation.

 Workers can opt into [OpenAI model profiles and bounded delegation](model-profiles.md). Project settings cannot replace the legacy operator model without explicit operator opt-in; configuration receipts do not prove live provider access.
 
 The subscription profile uses Docker isolation and explicitly disables gh-aw's AWF agent sandbox. It has no AWF egress filtering or credential proxy. The engine gets no GitHub token or Docker socket. Only trusted repository workflows may use the runner, whose Docker access is privileged infrastructure access. All repository runners sharing a host must use the same operator lock path to serialize model execution.

+Run installation, build, verification and browser commands sequentially with `node /harness/src/managed-command.mjs run /output/evidence/commands <unique-attempt-id> -- <executable> <arguments...>`. Create the evidence directory first and redirect each attempt's output to its own log. The wrapper rejects overlapping commands and writes `/output/evidence/commands/<unique-attempt-id>.json`.
+
+When the shell tool backgrounds a command, poll that receipt until `state` is `completed` or `cancelled`. A tool response or a quiet log does not establish command completion. Read `exitCode` before editing the workspace or starting the next command. To interrupt an attempt, run `node /harness/src/managed-command.mjs stop /output/evidence/commands` and wait for its terminal receipt before retrying with a new ID.
+
+Keep browser workers within the container budget. Start and stop a preview server inside the same managed command as its browser check; the wrapper cleans up that command's background children. Store screenshots and reports under `/output/evidence/` so they survive workspace cleanup.

+3. For a candidate, inspect the actual diff and host-executed check evidence against each acceptance criterion. Look for a plausible incorrect implementation that passes the supplied tests. Hotfix review must inspect the original RED assertion, unchanged regression tests, GREEN evidence, root cause, neighboring behavior and actual scope.
