 - **Execution inside the map (default).** Unlike a plan-only approach ("plan, don't do"), here the map carries **construction** within it: after the decision tickets, build tickets graduate from the fog and are **executed** as children of the map. The destination is the **working** artifact (a deployed app), not a spec document; the spec is a waypoint. *Override:* a project that must stop at the spec declares it in the map's `## Notes` (that wins over this default).
 - **Refer by name.** Every map and ticket is an issue, so it has a **title**. In everything the human reads, refer by name, never by a bare `#number`. A wall of `#42, #43, #44` is illegible; names read at a glance. The id and URL don't vanish (a name wraps its link) but they ride *inside* the name. **One exception: a command the user must run.** In `/trailhead:work <ticket>` the argument is machine input, not prose; give the **bare number** there (a long title, with its punctuation and jargon, is awkward and error-prone to type). Name the ticket in the surrounding sentence, put the number in the command.
-- **Result-oriented output.** In the chat, report **what was done and the next step**: refer to tickets by name and give the concrete next command. Do **not** expose trailhead's internal machinery: Mode labels (`Mode 1`, …), protocol/step names (`DISCUSS`/`PLAN`/`VERIFY`, "the build engine", "Session handoff", "graduate the fog", "the frontier"), or wrapper/SKILL.md mechanics. **Nor narrate the conventions and config you are silently obeying**: the git mode (`main`/`pr`), the isolation/worktree decision, submodule commit mechanics (commit-inside + gitlink bump), claim/assignment plumbing, which model ran a step. These are housekeeping you just *do*; reciting them ("the conventions say `git: main`, no worktree isolation, submodule work commits inside + a gitlink bump, and the ticket is already assigned to you") is noise, not a status update. Just act, then report the outcome. Surface a convention only when it **changes what the user must do** (a UAT they run, a release awaiting their command, a genuine claim collision with *another* login) or when they explicitly ask. (A map may reinforce this in its `## Notes`, but it holds regardless.)

To the user it is just **"an agent"** — say "I'll hand this to an agent with the exact spec, then run the code review over the whole diff", never "I'll hand this to an executor on `claude-sonnet-5` (per `models.execute`) …".

 - **No em-dashes.** Write with ordinary punctuation: commas, colons, semicolons, parentheses, periods. Never use an em-dash (U+2014), and never a hyphen standing in for a comma. This holds for **everything trailhead produces**: ticket titles and bodies, engine comments, the map body, commit descriptions, chat output, and the skill's own source docs. En-dashes in numeric ranges (`1–2`) and the arrow `→` in trailhead's notation stay; only the em-dash is banned.
 - **One ticket per session: hard rule.** Resolve **at most one** ticket per session; once one is resolved, do **not** start a second; end the session instead. The only exceptions: `research` tickets (AFK, run in parallel) and `capture` operations (they resolve nothing). On resolving a ticket, close the session with the **[Session handoff](#session-handoff)** ritual.
 - **Git per the repo's conventions.** The default is commit straight to `main`, conventional commits, no feature branch/PR, but the repo's `trailhead:conventions` issue governs: honour its `git:` (`main` | `pr`), `release:` (`command` | `auto`), and `isolation:` (`none` | `worktree`) header. Never `Co-Authored-By`. **Every commit made while resolving a ticket carries a `Refs: #<n>` trailer** (the ticket's issue number) as its last line, so GitHub threads the commit into that ticket's timeline (the commits show up *in* the ticket). Use a **non-closing** reference (`Refs:`): never a closing keyword (`fixes`/`closes`/`resolves #n`), because the ticket is closed **explicitly at Resolve** after Verify passes, not by a commit landing on the trunk.

Never write "next: `/trailhead:work …`" without the `/clear` before it. **A capture is not a resolution**, so its confirmation needn't render the full labelled block: a compact, future-conditional one-liner is right, along the lines of *"to work it later: `/clear`, then `/trailhead:work 45`"* (in the user's conversation language), but the `/clear`-before-`/trailhead:work` order is non-negotiable there too. A bare `/trailhead:work 45` with no `/clear` is the bug.
 
 This ritual fires from every **Resolve** step (`build`, `bug`) and from **Mode 2**'s close (which resolves `decision` / `prototype` / `task` too). It does **not** fire after a `capture` (resolves nothing) or a parallel `research` batch (AFK, not session-ending).

A shipped **secret-guard hook** hard-blocks any `gh` issue/PR write that still contains one. If it fires, treat the block as a **clean-and-retry cue, not a dead end**: redact the flagged value in place (`<REDACTED>` or an env-var reference like `$SUPABASE_KEY`), then re-post, silently, without surfacing the block to the user as a failure. (The hook only *blocks*; it can't rewrite the write, which is deliberate: a fail-safe block never leaks, whereas a silent auto-redact that didn't apply would. The redaction is yours to do.) If the block looks like a false positive, reword so it no longer matches a credential pattern. Conventions:

 | Element | How |
 |----------|------|
 | Map | an issue with label `trailhead:map`. **Not pinned** (the 3 pinned slots are the repo-scoped [dashboard](#the-dashboard-a-pinned-repo-index) + codebase + conventions): open maps are found via the `trailhead:map` label and listed in the pinned dashboard, so a repo's maps stay one click away without contending for a slot. **When a map is exhausted** (destination reached: no open tickets and no fog left), **ask the user whether to close the map issue**: on a yes, `gh issue close` it (a closed issue is still the durable record) and refresh the dashboard so it drops off; on a no, leave it open. Never close a map unprompted; there is no pin to free either way. Each map's **tickets** share a **`trailhead:map-<n>` label** (n = the map's issue number) that scopes its frontier; the map issue itself is found by its number and does not carry it. |
 | Codebase | a **single per-repo** issue with label `trailhead:codebase`: the distilled codebase map (architecture, stack, conventions, decisions embodied, risks, test/build). It's repo-scoped: **shared by every map of this repo, owned by none**, so it survives when a map is finished. Each map's Notes *links* it (never re-inlines it). Not a `trailhead:ticket`, so it's off the frontier. Written at adopt; a **greenfield map** (`/trailhead:new`) has no code to map at chart, so it's created **later, once the repo has substantial code** (e.g. after the first build tickets land), via the Codebase map technique. **Kept fresh at Resolve**: when a resolved `build`/`bug` ticket **materially changes** the map (a new module or layer, a new dependency/integration, a new seam, a changed build/test command, a new convention), **patch the affected facet of this issue in place** as part of Resolve, one or two lines, not a re-run of the fan-out. Cosmetic or in-facet changes leave it alone; a full re-map is only for major drift. |
 | Conventions | a **single per-repo** issue with label `trailhead:conventions`: the project's **way of working**, readable by everyone. Repo-scoped and linked from every map's Notes, like Codebase. It opens with a small machine-read header the engine obeys, then human prose. Header keys (defaults **bold**): `git:` **`main`** \| `pr` (commit straight to `main`, or feature branch + PR) · `release:` **`command`** \| `auto` (never release without an explicit command, or release automatically per the project's flow) · `isolation:` **`none`** \| `worktree` \| `clone` (work in the current checkout; or give each executing ticket its own `git worktree` + `trailhead/t<n>` branch; or a dedicated per-ticket **clone** at `../<repo>-t<n>` for **path-bound apps a worktree can't build**, e.g. React Native/Expo with a local `node_modules`; see [Working as a team](#working-as-a-team)). **`worktree`/`clone` imply a branch per ticket even under `git: main`** (git won't check the trunk out twice); the branch integrates to the trunk per `git:` at Resolve. Under **`none`** two in-progress tickets with overlapping `Scope:` **serialise** (the second holds at claim). Below the header: the standing "how we work here" notes. **Filled at chart/adopt by a brief conventions brainstorming** (see the Invocation modes), not a `trailhead:ticket`, off the frontier. |
-| Dashboard | a **single per-repo** issue with label `trailhead:dashboard`: the pinned index of the whole trailhead surface. Repo-scoped and permanent, like Codebase and Conventions, and it occupies the **fixed 3rd pinned slot** alongside them (`gh api graphql` `pinIssue` mutation on its node id). It holds: a link to **every open `trailhead:map`** (GitHub renders each map's sub-issue **progress bar natively**, so the dashboard only links, it does not recompute per-ticket progress), the **whiteboard** as a section (or a link to the `/trailhead:whiteboard` view), and dynamic **counts** (untriaged inbox, whiteboard frontier size). **Created and pinned at the first chart/adopt**, then **rewritten on structural events** (a map is charted or exhausted, i.e. a map appears or disappears) **and on demand** via `/trailhead:dashboard`. **Not rewritten on every ticket resolve** (that would churn a pinned issue and its notifications; the native progress bars already track per-ticket progress). See [The dashboard](#the-dashboard-a-pinned-repo-index). |

 | Child→map link | three views of one fact, wired in the same pass (like a blocker): a `Parent: <map name>(link)` line in the ticket body (human-readable); a **native sub-issue** edge to the map (`gh api --method POST repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/<map>/sub_issues -F sub_issue_id=<ticket .id>`, the structure GitHub renders); and the map's **`trailhead:map-<n>` label** on the ticket (the queryable key that scopes its map's frontier). See [Multiple maps on one repo](#multiple-maps-on-one-repo-parking--concurrency). **A whiteboard ticket has none of the three** (it belongs to no map). |
 | Path scope (monorepo) | an optional `Scope: <path>[, <path>…]` line in the ticket body naming the package/dir(s), or **submodule path(s)**, the ticket works in. It sharpens the [undeclared-coupling check](#working-as-a-team) (disjoint scopes parallelize safely), scopes build/test to the affected package, and scopes an `isolation: worktree` worktree's commits. **List every one it touches** (a ticket spanning two submodules names both). **Omit it in a single-package repo** (the whole tree is the scope); add it only where a repo has independent packages/subtrees or submodules. |

 ## Techniques
 
 The ticket engines call these by name. Each technique's full protocol lives in its own file under `references/techniques/`: **read that file the first time a session needs the technique**, so only the ones in play load into context (don't preload them). They are `trailhead`'s own, self-contained; subagents are spawned with the built-in `Agent` tool.
 
-**Pin the subagent type; never borrow a foreign agent.** Every technique subagent carries its full protocol in the prompt (from its `references/techniques/` file), so it needs no specialised agent, and must not use one: **always set `subagent_type` to a built-in agent, never a project- or plugin-provided type** (a specialised `*-reviewer`, `*-researcher`, `*-mapper`, or similarly named agent that another installed tool registered). Even when such an agent's name or description matches the task perfectly, it follows *its own* protocol and artifact conventions (a specialised code-review agent writes its own review file, not trailhead's `VERIFY` ticket comment), so selecting it silently swaps trailhead's engine for another tool's. The split by what the technique touches: **read-only techniques** (Code review, Codebase map, and the Plan step) spawn **`Explore`** (reads, searches, runs tests; no Edit/Write); **repo-modifying techniques** (Research, Execute, Fix, Debug) spawn **`general-purpose`**. On a `subagentToolkit == none` host (Codex) there is no fan-out and this is moot: every technique runs inline in the one session.

 - `execute` → an **executor subagent** that implements the plan with atomic commits on `models.execute`. Execute itself is autonomous (no live user exchange happens *during* implementation; new scope surfacing is captured/split, not grilled), so it fans out cleanly; the commits still land on `main`, visible. Run it **inline in the session instead when `models.execute` is unset or equals the session model** (nothing to gain from spawning).
 - `research`/`review`/`debug`/codebase-map → their own subagents.
 
+**Two independent host facts govern this, keyed on the descriptor (`bin/lib/host-descriptor.js`), not on a host name.** (1) A **subagent-less host** (`subagentToolkit == none`) has nothing to fan out into, so **every activity runs inline and sequentially** in the one session. (2) A host that **can't honour the model keys** (`honorsModelKeys == false`) can't run a subagent on a trailhead `models.*` value, so **every `models.*` key collapses to the single session model**. The two are independent: **Codex** is `subagentToolkit == full` (it fans out, via the native multi_agent toolkit) yet `honorsModelKeys == false` (its subagent model registry is OpenAI-only, so a Claude id like `claude-sonnet-5` can't run there and every subagent inherits the one session model). So on Codex the techniques *do* fan out; only the per-activity model *choice* is lost. The keys **stay in `.trailhead/config.json` untouched**: Claude Code honours them, a host that can't simply ignores them, and they apply again the next time the project runs on Claude Code. Nothing is stripped from the Claude `models.*` keys: they carry no `agents/*.toml` of their own and simply stay in config, ignored on Codex. The per-subagent OpenAI-model pinning once described here as a future upgrade has since shipped for `models.codex.*`: when those keys are set the installer emits one `~/.codex/agents/trailhead-<technique>.toml` per key and enables `features.multi_agent_v2`, and the runtime dispatches each activity by `agent_type` (adapter §D). When `models.*` is set while running on a host that can't honour it, the engine surfaces a **one-time notice** at session start (co-located with the inline check-update), so the user knows their per-activity split is not taking effect here; it fires once per project, tracked by a gitignored `.trailhead/models-collapse-notice` marker. On Codex the per-activity split is not lost outright, it moves to a parallel `models.codex.*` namespace holding OpenAI model ids (each key a bare model id, or a `{model, effort}` pair projected as `model_reasoning_effort`); `models.*` (Claude ids) still collapses to the session model as described above. The one-time collapse notice now points the user at `models.codex.*` as the fix, and stays silent once any `models.codex.*` key is set, since that means the user has already opted into the honoured namespace there.
+
+**Inline update check (hookless hosts).** On a host without a hook bus (the descriptor's `hookBus == 'none'`) the `trailhead-check-update.js` SessionStart hook and the statusline flag are both absent, so the engine does the check **inline at session start**, co-located with the models-collapse notice above. It is lightweight and degrades silently: read the shared cache (`$XDG_CACHE_HOME/trailhead/update-check.json`, the same file the hook writes on Claude Code) and, if it reports an update, surface a one-line notice pointing at `/trailhead:update` (the pure `updateNotice(host, cache)` helper in `bin/lib/host-descriptor.js` is the canonical wording, and returns null on a host that already notifies via the hook, so it never double-fires); if the cache is absent or stale (older than a few hours), do a minimal throttled compare of the installed `VERSION` against the latest (npm registry or the GitHub release, per install channel) and rewrite the cache. Never block or fail the session on a network or parse error. `/trailhead:update` stays the on-demand installer.
+
 If a value is unset, inherit the session model (never hard-fail on an unknown id: warn and inherit).
 
 **Everything else runs in the main session on its own model, there is no key for it:** charting, grilling, naming the destination, framing and **writing the tickets**, graduating fog, and map/decision operations. That's deliberate: it's HITL/orchestration work (you reason *with* the user), so the model that writes a ticket is the one grilling you; it can't fan out to a subagent. Practical upshot: **run a charting session (`/trailhead:new`/`:adopt`/`:ticket`) on your strong model**. The `models.*` keys above govern only the fan-out activities, not the quality of the tickets themselves. **Store a full model id** (e.g. `claude-opus-5`, `claude-fable-5`), never a bare family alias like `opus`; a family now spans several live versions, so an alias can't say which one. **`models.plan` and `models.execute` are always distinct choices**: never collapse them into one shared model pick, even when the user would pick the same id for both.

Three paths: (a) **pick an existing one**, listing the **10 most-recently-updated** design systems from DesignSync `list_projects` (sorted `updatedAt` desc) to choose from; (b) **paste a URL**, taking the projectId from a `claude.ai/design/p/<id>` link and confirming with `get_project` that it's a `PROJECT_TYPE_DESIGN_SYSTEM`; (c) **create a new one**, asking the user first for its name (don't invent it), then `create_project`. **Cache the chosen projectId in the project `.trailhead/config.json` under `design.project`**. **Later screens reuse** it (push another component/preview under the same `planId` flow: `finalize_plan` → `write_files`). **Link the specific screen** back from the ticket: its own claude.ai/design URL (`claude.ai/design/p/<projectId>/…`), not merely the project. **DesignSync only targets `PROJECT_TYPE_DESIGN_SYSTEM` projects**: verify with `get_project` before pushing; a regular `PROJECT_TYPE_PROJECT` (or any project not in `list_projects`) **cannot** be driven by the MCP, so for one of those the user drives it by hand: produce the mockup and hand it over, or fall back to `disk`. This path needs the account's claude.ai design login (`/design-login` when the session has none); if it's unavailable, fall back to `disk` and say so. **On a host without DesignSync (e.g. Codex, which has no `claude_design` MCP or `/design-sync` skill), `claude.ai/design` mode is not available at all: always use `disk` (local HTML mockups) there, whatever `config.design` says.**
 
 Either way the rough screen is **reacted to before real UI code**. How approval gates the build depends on `config.design.approval`:
 - **`explicit` (default)**: surface the mockup and **wait for the user's clear go-ahead**; do not write UI code until they approve. Record the approval on the ticket, then proceed.
