-- User-facing search / exec / git / web / test / write / impl / repo facts: **first action is spawn** (`grunt` for facts, `implementer`/`thinker` per below). No parent probe. Ban try-tool → deny → spawn. Ban preamble essays before spawn.

-
-## Spawn
-First token for user-facing tool work: spawn. Never parent bash/git/search as a probe.
-In-session `node scripts/grunt-job.mjs --job search|exec --query …`: known dumps feeding an already-decided implementer/thinker spawn only (exact allowed argv). Not for answering the user. Optional `--path` `--glob` (repeatable) `--cwd`. `--query` one argv; regex `|` OK. Never `cd &&`. Deny or FALLBACK (exit 2) → spawn grunt immediately; zero retry theater. Unknown flags or exec shell-meta in query → FALLBACK then spawn. `job:web` and messy `job:test` still spawn grunt.
-If dumps are known (paths, rg, test cmd): run search|exec via parent grunt-job first, then up-spawn implementer/thinker with `verdict:` blobs. Do not start the child and `need:` for a dump the parent already knew.
-Child stop is `need: [{"job":"...","query":"..."}]` JSON only (1–N, cap 4). If every job is search|exec, SubagentStop intercepts with grunt-job `verdict:` blobs. Mixed/web/test: if `scripts/parse-need.mjs` succeeds, fan out those jobs as parallel LLM grunts; do not interpret surrounding prose. Wait; one `resume_from:` with **new** `verdict:` blobs only. Prompt = `You are {agent} subagent.` + new verdicts. Do not re-send the original task, cascade, or prior verdicts. Do not fresh-spawn. Max 3 `resume_from` per child id; then report blocked/partial with verdicts already gathered.
-For spawned grunt `job: search|exec`, first action is `node scripts/grunt-job.mjs --job search|exec --query …` (echo stdout as the whole reply). Same flags: `--path` `--glob` `--cwd`. Never `cd &&`.
+Voice: `.rulesync/reference/output.md` — must follow.
+Protocol: `.rulesync/reference/cascade.md` (peek/kill table need:/resume). Do not paste. Do not open first.
+You do not talk. First token = spawn. No try-then-spawn. No parent probe. No skip-spawn. No trivia/cheap. User-visible = `[agent]:` + child output only.
+Spawn only `grunt` | `implementer` | `thinker`. Omit `model`. Isolation `none` unless asked. Never spawn `orchestrator`. Children never spawn.
+grunt ← tools. World fact → grunt `job: web`. Never memory. implementer ← specified solution (not the spec). thinker ← plan/deep reason/spec.
 Child prompt = `You are {agent} subagent.` + task + abs paths + verdicts only.
-After child returns: only terse `[agent]: …` echo/recap of child output. Do not redo. Do not add a second answer.
-
-## `/parent`
-One-turn in-parent escape. Not a mode. This turn may finish in-session; Stop consumes `parent-escape-{sid}` once. Next turn: spawn/Stop as usual. See cascade + `.rulesync/skills/parent`.
-
-## Wait / peek
-Parent-only. Non-blocking spawn so each child has a host id immediately. Per-child, not one global timer.
-Every ≤60s peek is real host status (no `sleep` then guess). First return ≤60s is the peek (earlier if the child finishes).
-Quote host fields only (`status`, elapsed since spawn, last activity/output snippet) or quote the error. Never invent.
-Classify `done` | `alive` | `stuck` vs prior peek: **done** (completed/failed), **alive** (running + fields/output changed), **stuck** (running + unchanged). Unchanged snippet = stuck, not “still working”.
-Loop until done. No auto-kill. Kill only if the user asks and the host has a kill tool.
-Then print recap as `[agent]: …` with real child output. Do not redo the child's work.
-Use cascade host mapping for spawn/peek/kill per host. Do not treat Grok tool names as the only recipe.
+Peek every 60s/child; quote real host fields; `done|alive|stuck`; no invent; no auto-kill. Grok: `get_command_or_subagent_output` `timeout_ms=60000` every peek. Else GAP: block on spawn return = `done`. Stuck/blocked: quote host fields only.
+Child `need:` JSON → parse-need + parallel grunt; one `resume_from` + **new** verdicts only; max 3; no re-send task; no fresh-spawn.
+`/parent` = one-turn parent-tool escape. Next turn: spawn-only.

 ## Wait / peek
 
 Parent-only. Non-blocking spawn so each child has a host id immediately. Per-child, not one global timer.
-Every ≤60s peek is real host status (no `sleep` then guess). First return ≤60s is the peek (earlier if the child finishes).
+Every 60s peek is real host status (no `sleep` then guess). `timeout_ms=60000` every peek.
 Quote host fields only (`status`, elapsed since spawn, last activity/output snippet) or quote the error. Never invent.
 Classify `done` | `alive` | `stuck` vs prior peek: **done** (completed/failed), **alive** (running + fields/output changed), **stuck** (running + unchanged). Unchanged snippet = stuck, not “still working”.
 Loop until done. No auto-kill. Kill only if the user asks and the host has a kill tool.
 Then print recap as `[agent]: …` with real child output. Do not redo the child's work.
 
-Parent Stop (`MAX_STOP=3`): do not waive fenced/impl finals for `tools-used` stamp. Allow cheap trivia, `[grunt|implementer|thinker]:` recap prefix, or consume `parent-escape-{sid}` once. Else block.
