+/**
+ * locale — the project language and the names in it, one module for the scripts of all skills and the installer: `est`,
+ * `spec` and `dashboard` import it from `github` — there's one dictionary, in this skill's `locales/`, and `github`
+ * doesn't depend on them; the installer in `bin/` imports it from its own package.
+ *
+ * The language is `language` in `.agents/elves.json` of the project root (the nearest directory up with `.git`,
+ * otherwise the directory itself), until `update` moves it — in the former manifest (`FORMER_MANIFEST`): a manifest
+ * without the field (an install of a previous version) — `ru`, no manifest — `en`. Names are `locales/<language>.json`,
+ * the same keys for each language; no dictionary for the language — `en`. Scripts write in the project language and parse the names of any dictionary language (`everyNames`):
+ * a project that changed its language and tasks of other repositories are read without knowing their language.
+ *
+ * The dictionaries are static JSON imports, not a read of the `locales/` directory: the module is imported by the `spec`
+ * harness, which a project's test loads under the project's runner — Playwright and Jest load it as CommonJS, where
+ * `import.meta` and top-level `await` are syntax errors, and ESM under Node has no `__dirname`
+ * (tests/standards/harness-load); a static import is resolved from the module itself by any loader. For the same
+ * runners — only erasable TypeScript and `node:` APIs, and `scripts/package.json` with `"type": "module"`: under Node a
+ * project with `"type": "commonjs"` would otherwise load the copy as CommonJS.
+ *
+ * The `LOCALES` map is typed by `Names`: tsc checks every dictionary against it; a new `locales/<language>.json` is a
+ * language only once it's in the map (the flow-english standard holds that every file is).

+description: "A queue for heavy runs on the machine — project checks (`lint`, `typecheck`, `test`, `test:*`) go through `slot`, and installing the flow wraps the `package.json` scripts in it; two runs at a time, together half of the cores, the rest wait in arrival order and print whom they wait for; the command gets `ELVES_SLOT_CPUS` (a quarter of the cores) for the runner's workers. When — you run a full project check, tests, typecheck, lint, e2e; a run is silent with the line 'slot: waiting for the machine queue'; parallel sessions choke the machine and runs hit timeouts; you set up runner workers (Vitest, Playwright, Jest) locally; a heavy command bypasses the project's scripts — even if the word 'queue' was never said."
+allowed-tools: Bash(bun *skills/slot/scripts/slot.ts *)
+---
+
+# slot — the machine's heavy runs in a queue
+
+Parallel sessions run the full check all at once, and each runner is sized for
+the whole machine: a run that takes seconds alone drags on for minutes next to
+a dozen neighbors and gets cut off by the tool timeout, and a retry adds load.
+The `scripts/slot.ts` script next to this file lets two heavy runs go at a
+time, the rest wait in arrival order; together the slots take half of the
+cores, the other half is for the human, the app and the agents themselves. Why
+it is so and what was rejected — `tests/capabilities/slot/slot.md` in Elves.
+
+```bash
+bun --no-env-file <skill dir>/scripts/slot.ts '<command>' [arguments…]
+```
+
+The command runs through `sh`, the arguments are appended to its end, as with
+`npm run`; the exit code is the command's. No queue in CI (`CI`) and inside a
+slot (`ELVES_SLOT`): a script that calls another queued script would
+otherwise wait for itself. A `package.json` script doesn't pass its command to
+`slot.ts` — it sources the project's shim `.agents/slot.sh` (below).
+
+## How it is enabled
+
+Installing the flow (`install`, `update`) puts the shim `.agents/slot.sh` into
+the project and wraps its `package.json` scripts `lint`, `typecheck`, `test`
+and `test:*` in it: `"test": ". .agents/slot.sh && vitest run"`. The script's
+shell sources the shim: `elves slot --for $$` — the package
+`@miroshnik/elves` of the project's `devDependencies`, from `node_modules/.bin`
+that `npm run` and `bun run` put on the script's `PATH` — takes a slot for that
+shell, held until it exits, and the shell exports `ELVES_SLOT` and
+`ELVES_SLOT_CPUS` to the command. Without `elves` on `PATH` (CI before the
+dependencies are installed, a checkout without the package) the command runs
+as is; `elves` failed — the script fails with its code. The command stays a
+plain command of the script: knip sees its binary as a used dependency, and
+`bun test` gives knip the test files and the `preload` of `bunfig.toml` as
+entries; passed to `slot` as a string, it was hidden, and the project's dead
+code went red from the flow install. Yarn 2+ runs scripts in its own shell,
+without `.`: there the command stays a string of the package's `slot`, hidden
+from knip, and the package goes through bunx at the project's version —
+Yarn 2+ runs a `.ts` bin by Node with any `nodeLinker`, and PnP has no
+`node_modules`:
+`"test": "bunx @miroshnik/elves@\"$(jq -r '.devDependencies[\"@miroshnik/elves\"]' package.json)\" slot 'vitest run'"`
+(`jq` on the machine). Everyone calls the
+scripts — the agent, a human in a terminal, `github pr premerge` — and
+everyone joins one queue. `build` isn't wrapped — the host and Docker run it,
+where the shim or the package may be missing; watch isn't either: it's long and
+would hold a slot for a long time. Removed the wrapper by hand, or it's a
+previous install's (a copy's `.agents/skills/slot/scripts/slot.sh`, the command
+a string of `slot.ts`) — `check` names the script, `update` puts the wrapper
+back.
+
+## The project's env files are off
+
+Bun loads the env files of the working directory — `.env`,
+`.env.<NODE_ENV>`, `.env.local` — into its process by itself, and `slot.ts`
+passes its environment to the command. `.env.local` often holds production
+keys (`vercel env pull`): without `--no-env-file` they reach a runner that
+never saw them before the wrapper — tests of "the key isn't set" go red
+locally and green in CI, a test calling an external service goes there with a
+production key. With the flag the command gets exactly the environment it
+would get without the wrapper: `npm run` and `bun run` don't load env files
+for a `package.json` script, and a runner that loads them itself (`bun test`
+— `.env.test`) still does. A script's command doesn't go through `slot.ts`
+at all — it gets the script's environment and the two queue variables:
+`elves slot --for` only prints them. The package's `elves slot '<command>'`
+— a direct call from `node_modules/.bin`, the Yarn 2+ wrapper through bunx —
+goes through the bin's shebang: `sh` starts Bun with `--no-env-file`. Not `env = false` in the
+project's `bunfig.toml`:
+it would turn env files off for every `bun` of a Bun project, its own
+`bun test` and `bun run dev` included. The same flag is on every call of a
+skill script (`tests/standards/no-env-file` in Elves): a child `bun` inherits
+what its parent loaded.
+
+## What the agent does
+
+| Moment | Action |
+|---|---|
+| Check before a commit, a full run, e2e | via the project's scripts (`npm run test -- --changed=origin/main`, `bun run typecheck`): they are already queued; which tests before a commit — `docs/testing.md`. As a background command with a generous timeout (Claude Code — `run_in_background`, up to 2 h): waiting in the queue doesn't eat the tool timeout, completion wakes the session |
+| `slot: waiting for the machine queue — running …` | not a hang: who holds the slots (directory, command) and how long they have been running. Don't kill someone else's run or delete its ticket |
+| `slot: waited …` | the time in the queue; compare run speed without it — by CI or by `user` from `time` |
+| A targeted run (`vitest run <file>`) | bypasses the queue — it's cheap |
+| A heavy command bypassing the project's scripts | `bun --no-env-file <skill dir>/scripts/slot.ts '<command>'` |
+| Runner workers locally | from `ELVES_SLOT_CPUS` — below |
+
+## Runner workers
+
+In a slot the command gets `ELVES_SLOT_CPUS` — a quarter of the cores. A
+runner that counts workers from all cores takes the whole machine even in a
+slot; its config reads the variable, and in CI and outside the queue it keeps
+its own default:
+
+```ts
+// vitest.config.ts
+maxWorkers: Number(process.env.ELVES_SLOT_CPUS) || undefined,
+// playwright.config.ts
+workers: Number(process.env.ELVES_SLOT_CPUS) || (process.env.CI ? 2 : undefined),
+// jest — via a script flag: jest --maxWorkers=${ELVES_SLOT_CPUS:-50%}
+```
+
+**A monorepo on turbo.** turbo 2 in strict env mode (the default) passes to
+tasks only the variables named in `turbo.json`: without pass-through the
+runner config doesn't see `ELVES_SLOT_CPUS` and takes the whole machine, and
+a nested script in `slot` without `ELVES_SLOT` waits for its own slot. In the
+root of `turbo.json`:
+
+```json
+"globalPassThroughEnv": ["ELVES_SLOT", "ELVES_SLOT_CPUS"]
+```
+
+Not `env` and not `globalEnv`: they go into the cache hash, while
+`ELVES_SLOT` is different for every run and the share of cores depends on the
+machine. A script in `slot` calls turbo without pass-through — `install` and
+`check` warn with a ready-made line.
+
+**The flow's former name.** Before the rename the variables were
+`AI_DEV_SLOT` and `AI_DEV_SLOT_CPUS`: `slot` exports them too, with the same
+values, and either name marks a nested call — a project's runner configs and
+`turbo.json` keep working until they are renamed, and so does the slot of a
+project copy `update` hasn't brought yet. `check` names `turbo.json` that
+passes only the former names, with the line to put.
+
+## Queue
+
+A run's ticket is a file `<time>-<pid>` in `slots/` of the personal
+configuration directory (`$ELVES_CONFIG_DIR`, otherwise `~/.config/elves`);
+it holds the directory, the command and the start time. Who is in the queue —
+`ls` of that directory. A process died, even one killed without cleanup — its
+ticket doesn't count and is removed by the first one to see it: there is
+nothing to clean up by hand.
+
+An agent's sandbox doesn't let the configuration be written: there the ticket
+goes to `elves/slots` of the temp directory (`$TMPDIR`; Claude Code's sandbox
+gives all sessions of the user one), and the queue is read from all places at
+once, Claude Code's temp directory (`$CLAUDE_TMPDIR`) included — runs inside
+and outside the sandbox wait for each other; a human's terminal doesn't see
+the sandbox's runs; the tickets of an earlier release's slot in
+`ai-dev/slots` of the temp directory count too. The checks run in the sandbox,
+without disabling it. No
+place takes the ticket — one line `slot: running without the queue — …` and
+the command runs anyway.
