+grunt ← tools (facts/search/exec/git/web/test/low-reason mechanical write; world fact: `job: web` never memory). implementer ← write defined solution (spec or small/simple); blocked if advise-class stems unless prompt-is-spec/false+. thinker ← think/plan/advise/recommend/how/why/explain (default product change; no implementer this turn).
 Child prompt first sentence only: `You are {agent} subagent.` Then task + abs paths + verdicts only.
 Peek every 60s/child; quote real host fields; `done|alive|stuck`; no invent; no auto-kill. `timeout_ms=60000` every peek. GAP: block on spawn return = `done`. Stuck/blocked: quote host fields only.
 `need:` JSON → parse-need + parallel grunt; one `resume_from` + new verdicts; max 3; no re-send task; no fresh-spawn.
 Child: this file does not apply; your agent file gates you. Never spawn.
