-2. Model aliases use @name, provider/model/reasoning can be overridden per role. Missing role mappings
-   inherit project defaults and must be reported; never silently substitute another provider or premium.
-3. Verify requested/native model ID, reasoning support, authentication and delegation in the actual host.
-   Host-incompatible or unverified choices need a grounded user decision/check before model-dependent
-   execution. Explicit user mappings are declarations, not proof that a native model is available.
-4. Single-agent: one session performs sequential roles and relevant skills. Hybrid: one lead and an
-   independent helper only when useful, authorized and supported. Multi-agent: use separate contracts
-   and concise handoffs only when runtime supports it. Follow the host's actual delegation rules.
-5. Keep simple edits/clear bugfixes in one session. For parallel work isolate responsibilities/paths,
-   share only scope, source references, decisions, AC and blockers; do not send every skill/doc to each worker.
-6. Treat maxConcurrentAgents and maxRounds as requested caps, never counters enforced by this CLI.
-   Count the lead in concurrency planning; translate native worker/thread limits only after checking
-   their semantics. When a round limit is reached, checkpoint unresolved work instead of claiming done.
-7. Premium/Astra is allowed only through the user's explicit model/tier selection; automatic escalation

-8. No real token budget or usage meter is supplied. Read real host usage when available; report unknown

-9. Handoff task/role ID, actual model/effort if known, files/revision, decisions, performed checks, remaining

+4. Load only relevant preferred skills by description; optional skills may be absent. Product is the
+   compatibility bundle; analysis/discovery expose selected canonical skills. PM role IDs are aliases
+   of core:project-manager. Contracts with the same canonical_id are one responsibility, not workers.
+5. Host-native model is the default. init --host claude-code seeds native Anthropic aliases only when
