-Actor inspector commands:
+Actor inspector navigation uses one command: `/actors-inspector-toggle` opens the centered overlay. It exposes explicit Tabs → Filters → List → Detail focus zones over the first run owned by the current session. Tabs use ←/→; ↓ enters Filters; ↑ at the top boundary does nothing. The filter bar contains only selectable controls; arrows move focus, Enter opens a compact value popup anchored beneath that filter, ↑/↓ hover a value, and Enter applies it. A filter cannot move down into an empty list. Accent text marks current values, a light background marks keyboard focus, and opening a nested popup preserves both its blue parent filter and the striped timeline outside the occluded cells. Lists use ↑/↓ and Enter; detail uses ↑/↓ and Enter/←. Escape cancels options or closes the overlay. The list body carries the selected run and live status above compact striped evidence rows; tabs, live refresh, empty states, and key hints remain visible so no subcommand grammar is required.
 
-- `/actors-inspector-toggle [rows]`: open/close the compact table or set row count; default is 12 log rows when no size is supplied.
-- `/actors-inspector-filter all|room|direct|broadcast|unread|branch <name>|current-branch <name>|mention <text>`: narrow table previews without changing room/run state.
-- `/actors-inspect <number>`: open one visible row as a full-message view.
-
-The table is compact and optimistic by default: bounded body previews, capped noisy room rows, branch-local inbox previews, stable event ids in selected-message details, and an inline roster summary in the form `name/role` that wraps only when needed. Use `unread` for queued branch inbox work and `branch <name>` / `current-branch <name>` for one branch's room/direct/inbox traffic. Rows with `metadata.requires_response=true` show a `!` attention marker. `/actors-inspect <number>` marks that row read for the current session filter. Active roster members use the target color; members that sent `actor.leave` stay visible as inactive/muted participants from the current run. Actor display names come from `actor.join` bodies (`display`) or branch addresses, keeping debugger output plain and name-driven.
+Communication rows retain bounded body previews, capped noisy room traffic, branch-local inbox state, stable event ids, attention markers, and compact roster summaries. Turn rows come only from persisted owned child-session evidence and show source model/text at a glance. Turn detail remains bounded and includes command/stage, session/prompt/recipe provenance, user/assistant text, persisted thinking or explicit reasoning unavailability, stop/usage/error metadata, correlated tool arguments/results, truncation, and parse diagnostics. Active roster members use the target color, departed members stay muted, and display names come from `actor.join` bodies or branch addresses.
 
 Let terminal notifications arrive. They queue through Pi's follow-up delivery mode, so a busy coordinator finishes its current work before receiving concurrently completed actor results; the host's `followUpMode` controls whether queued results arrive together or one at a time. When a deferred actor result gates the next step, wait for that terminal follow-up instead of scheduling continuation loops, repeatedly inspecting, or mutating the actor's reviewed scope. Idle coordinators still start a normal turn through `triggerTurn: true`. Inspect early only for an operator request, a meaningful actor event, or diagnosis of an overdue or stuck run.

+- Detached child `pi -p` commands receive isolated session storage under `sessions/command-NNN` in their owned run state, and command evidence records any resulting JSONL files. Coordinator-managed room/swarm participants use role/phase-scoped directories under the same run-local `sessions/` root so their turns remain discoverable too. Explicit `--no-session`, `--session`, `--session-id`, `--session-dir`, or `--fork` policy remains caller-owned and is never replaced.
+- Persisted child-session inspection follows the latest JSONL entry branch, correlates tool results by call id, bounds previews, and redacts common secret-bearing fields/text. Thinking content is evidence only when Pi persisted an explicit `thinking` block; never infer or advertise hidden reasoning.
