 3. **Must it run on a schedule or a trigger — "weekly", "every morning", "when a ticket lands"?** → **WORKFLOW template** (`workflows/*.json`) carrying the instruction, usually invoking the skill from #1. A skill alone fires only when someone asks; the schedule is what makes it run by itself.
 4. **A separate persona running in its own forked context with a restricted tool set?** → **AGENT file** (`agents/*.md`) — the one place `allowed-tools` is genuinely *enforced*, filtering the child's tools. Leave it out for a universal role (the child inherits what the caller can reach); write `allowed-tools: []` for a persona that must hold no tools at all.
 5. **Must every turn obey it, unconditionally, even when nothing triggered it?** → **RULE.** The most expensive slot in the system. Budget: one rule file per package, under 4 KB, unconditional behaviour only; anything domain-conditional is a skill or a doc.
 6. **Do you need one of four things a skill structurally cannot give you?** → **TOOL.** *Schema enforcement* — arguments validated before your handler runs, invalid calls rejected. *Permission gating* — a `requires.features` gate that both hides and rejects, a risk category driving approval posture, per-trust rate limits. *Determinism* — skill composition is non-deterministic; if correctness depends on it happening, it is a tool, a script or a hook, never prose asking the model to be careful. *A designed surface* — a card, a widget, or an app a human looks at repeatedly.
 7. **An external corpus of files or records to search?** → **GOVERNED CONNECTOR / source** — establish owner, approved location, audience/scope, sensitivity/retention, credential scope, copy permission and provenance first. Attach it as a configured source; never put the dataset in identity or memory. Skills, tools and workflows wrap the source and point to its URIs.

+9. **Does a human look at it, repeatedly?** → **WIDGET + dock companion** (a standing panel) or **CARD** (the result of one tool call). A tool whose result a human reads gets a card by default; the visual precedent is the platform's own cards (execute, todos, workflow) on the `CardShell` exported from `@neuralis/agent-core/app/chat`.
 
 **Corollaries.** Split read from write into separate tools — the approval floor is per-tool and never reads an argument's VALUE, so an `action` enum makes the destructive case ungateable; verbs sharing one posture go on one tool as keys, and a rare destructive verb inside that posture is gated by declaring its root key in `x-neuralis.askOnKeys` (`references/tools-and-schemas.md` §2, which also owns description craft — the callable contract there, the procedure in a skill). `allowed-tools` is enforced on agent files (absent = inherit, `[]` = nothing), advisory on skills — this one included.

The provenance note is a record for humans and agents — the runtime does not read it — and a re-import overwrites local edits, so keep those as a separate note or patch.

Runtime fan-outs are bounded. A first-party package exposes its declared `provides` implementations on the state returned by standalone `init(ctx)`. The discovered adapter retains `state.services` as `PackageRuntimeApi.services`, separately from the public `api(state)`; the host resolves them by contract id.

 - **Never override workspace chrome** (dock, panel headers, resize handles) or ship a per-component scrollbar override — one overlay-scrollbar rule with a stable gutter already covers it. Stay inside your panel's stacking context: the panel establishes one for you (`isolation: isolate`, at every transparency level), so your `z-index` values are scoped to your own surface and can never outrank the dock or the workspace's loading scrim. Do not try to escape it with a large `z-index`.
 - **A `position: fixed` overlay MUST `createPortal(…, document.body)`.** The panel emits a `backdrop-filter` at `dim` and at `opaque` (the latter is load-bearing and stays), none at `transparent` — and a filter makes the panel a containing block for `fixed` descendants, so at two of the three levels a `fixed` overlay anchors to your PANEL and is clipped to its rounded box, while at `transparent` it anchors to the viewport. The panel's `position: relative` covers `absolute` but never `fixed`. Symptom of skipping the portal: your modal is a widget-sized, corner-clipped rectangle for one user and a full-screen overlay for the next, purely because they cycled transparency. Portalling fixes it at **all three** levels, and `absolute` overlays need no portal at all. **One exception — a click-outside catcher for a popover that stays INSIDE the panel:** do not portal a scrim for it. The popover lives in the panel's isolated stacking context, so a body-level scrim paints over the popover and swallows its clicks; use a capture-phase `mousedown` listener on `document` that ignores targets inside the popover's zone instead — it needs no element, covers the real viewport, and closes on a click outside the widget too.
 - **No idle infinite animation** — it burns frames and breaks automated click stability. Inside the chat timeline — and inside ANY virtualized row your package renders, a file-tree row included — the rule is harder and it has no exception for "but it is still running": **a card in a timeline row must not animate `transform`, `opacity`, `filter`, `background-color` or `clip-path` at all — live or settled.** Those are the properties the browser accelerates, and they are exactly what a utility class like `animate-spin` or `animate-pulse` compiles to: the element becomes its own compositor layer, every row painted after it is pushed into another, and a fast wheel fling presents those layers at different generations (a glyph floating between rows, the next row drawn inside your card). A long-running tool multiplies it — several cards animating for minutes is several layers for minutes. A spinner still belongs to the tool call while it runs, but express it with something the compositor does not accelerate. The platform's own Files tree obeys the same floor — its virtualized rows import these primitives instead of an `animate-*` utility. **A `direct` card should not roll its own:** `@neuralis/agent-core/app/chat` exports the four live-motion primitives the platform's own cards use — `LiveSpinner` (a rotating arc), `LivePulseDot` (a pulsing status dot), `LiveCursor` (a streaming text caret) and `LivePulseText` (a pulsing line of text). Each takes its size and colour from `className` alone, so it drops into your layout at the box you give it (pass a `text-…` colour to the two that paint a shape — they fill with `currentColor`, not a background). If you do build your own, the mechanisms that work are SVG SMIL (`<animateTransform>`, or `<animate>` on `fill-opacity`, neither of which the compositor accelerates — note that element `opacity` DOES accelerate and `fill-opacity` does not) and a CSS keyframe on `color`. An `iframe` card is its own document and cannot import them; keep its body still and let the card header's status icon carry "this is running". A result state (`pending_review`, a parked approval) is the status icon's accessible name, never motion at all. **Truncate in flex and table cells**, and respect your declared `layout.minWidth` / `minHeight`.
+- **Show honest, fresh state.** A counter, status, badge or button never shows a stale or false value — re-read it from the event or route that owns it — and an action that cannot run right now is rendered disabled with its reason, never offered.
 - **Design for a panel, not a page.** A panel is a few hundred pixels tall: three or more sections belong in a two-pane layout — a navigation rail plus one swapped content pane owning the only scroll container — never one long scrolling column.

Content verbs COMPOSE in one call, in a fixed order, as ONE write with ONE baseline: `create` (`{content, client_request_id?}` — never overwrites; a taken name lands BESIDE as `name-2.ext` and the response `uri` is where it went, so read it back), `overwrite` (`{content}` — refuses on a missing file and names `create`), `edit` (`[{old_string, new_string?, replace_all?, expected_replacements?}]`, applied in order, one failure discards all of them), `insert` (`{insert_text, insert_line?}` — inserts AFTER that line, `0` = start of file, omitted = append), `lines` (`{line_start, line_end, content}`), `fields` (`{category, status, pinned, tags{add,remove,set}, metadata}`). Structural verbs stand ALONE: `move`/`copy` (a destination uri or, for a file move, a bare new filename; `copy` may cross sources), `mkdir:true` (a real empty directory; not on `brain://`, where folders are implicit), `revert:true` (one-level undo), `delete:true` (a file, or a whole folder recursively). **A 2xx does not mean success** — a refusal is 200 with `ok:false`, so branch on `ok`. A `move` (or a `revert` that relocates or re-creates) onto a uri that already holds something answers `ok:false` + `error:"DESTINATION_EXISTS"` — nothing was overwritten; delete or rename the occupant first. A delete has ONE spelling, the `delete` key: `fields.status:"deleted"` is refused. `review` is never read from the body — a content edit (`overwrite`/`edit`/`insert`/`lines`) lands `pending_review` on every lane (visible and revertible in Changes); `create`/`move`/`copy`/`mkdir` land committed for a human interactive caller and `pending_review` from this ticket lane; `/upload` also journals agent-origin uploads as pending review; interactive human uploads land committed. Use `/write` for JSON text and `/upload` for multipart file bytes. A missing `agentId`/`uri` is a **400** naming the field, a body the server could not parse a **400** `Request body must be a JSON object`. A uri-policy denial is a **403 with no `ok` field**, a disabled source a **409** with `code:"source_disabled"`. A source slug this project does not have answers one of two ways, and BOTH mean "stop guessing this name": with a scheme (`zzz://a.md`) the uri gate answers **403 `uri_policy_denied`** first; without one (`notes.md`) you get **404 `code:"source_not_configured"`** carrying `availableSources` — the sources you CAN address. `/list` gives the 404 in both forms. Switch to a source from that list (or from `<runtime_stack>`); retrying the same name never works. `/read` is different again: it reports PER FILE inside a 200, so a denied or disabled source arrives as `{uri, error, code:"forbidden"}` — never a 409 — and a missing file as `code:"not_found"`. No code means the read failed for some other reason; do not conclude the file is gone. A folder delete or copy that partly succeeded reports what really happened: `affected` (files touched) and `failed` (the NAMES that could not be), so "failed" does not mean "nothing happened". `warning:"moved_with_source_retained"` on a move means the copy landed but the original could not be removed — BOTH copies exist on purpose; do not re-run the move. `indexed:false` means the bytes DID land and are readable, but search indexing was skipped or failed; report it, do not re-write. Sync retries failed indexing only for eligible files; excluded files remain unindexed. Every script here runs curl with `--fail-with-body`, so a non-2xx prints that body too — in the merged output the body comes FIRST and curl's own `curl: (22)` line after it, under a `--- stderr ---` separator, so read the whole output.
 - `/search` body key is `search_mode` (semantic|filter|grep) — the SAME vocabulary as the `fs_search` tool; the legacy `mode` key is rejected with 400. The route forwards `search_mode`, `query`, `folder_uri`, `glob`, `category`, `tags`, `status`, `created_after`/`created_before`, `limit`, and the grep-only `path_glob`, `context` and `case_sensitive`. In `grep` mode the search is uri-policy `read`-gated (only paths the caller holds `read` policy on are grepped), the match is a FIXED STRING, and the answer carries `truncated` + `total_seen` — a cut set says so, so never read a full-looking list as proof that the rest is absent.
 - `/raw` is a GET — pass the file URI via `URI=…` (no `BODY_JSON`). It always returns the full bytes, so `raw.sh` is unaffected by the response headers; what those headers say is a BROWSER instruction. Safe types (images except SVG, video, audio, PDF, text, JSON) are marked for inline display; SVG, HTML and XML are marked `attachment` so a person clicking the link downloads them instead of executing them on the app origin. Do not describe a `.svg` or `.html` you wrote as viewable in the browser — offer it as a download, or convert it to a raster image if a human needs to look at it.
-- `/read` is at parity with the `fs_read` tool: the body takes `files[]` — each entry a URI string or `{"uri":"…","line_start":N,"line_end":M}` with that file's own window — plus `read_version`, batch-level `line_start`/`line_end` and `include_ids`. An entry that is neither shape is a **400**. If you only need the pre-edit content, a plain `/read` response already carries it: each file's `version.baseline.content`, with `available_versions` listing `baseline` exactly when one exists.

An entry that is neither shape is a **400**. Text is a bounded preview; native media may accompany it, while unsupported/invalid binary data has a URI and marker. For a byte-exact binary copy use the authorized `/raw` byte lane and multipart `/upload`, never re-encode a text preview. If you only need the pre-edit content, a plain `/read` response already carries it: each file's `version.baseline.content`, with `available_versions` listing `baseline` exactly when one exists.
 - `/upload` is **multipart/form-data**, NOT JSON — pass `FILE_PATH=…` `AGENT_ID=…` (required) plus optional `URI=…` / `TAGS=a,b`; a JSON body is rejected with 400. The 200 carries `indexed`: `false` means the bytes DID land but search indexing was skipped by the source selection or failed (provider outage/quota) — report it, do not re-upload. An eligible sync retries failed indexing; excluded uploads remain unindexed until the selection changes. The 200 also carries `mimeType`, and it may differ from what the upload declared: the stored type is resolved from the filename extension first, with the declared value kept only for an extension the platform does not know, and a common-image claim the leading bytes contradict falls back to `application/octet-stream`. Give the file a truthful extension and the stored type follows.
-- `GET /pending` lists durable pending records inside the Changes workspace. `STATUS`, `SOURCE`, `OP`, and `LIMIT` filter the list; owner/scope and URI READ gates apply per record. Review begins with `POST /pending` `{action:"preview",id}`: it returns the current connector content separately from the recorded snapshot and saved baseline, typed missing/unavailable/binary/too-large states, `indexState`, `requiresAcknowledgement`, and `expectedFingerprint`. The preview is bounded by `pendingPreviewMaxBytes`; it never fabricates missing content or vectors. Resolve through `POST /approve` `{id,expectedFingerprint}` or `POST /pending` `{action:"revert"|"dismiss",id,expectedFingerprint}`. If the preview requires acknowledgement, inspect those states and include `acknowledgeCurrentState:true`; never auto-acknowledge an unseen preview. The server rechecks freshness and WRITE authority at apply: a changed fingerprint requires a new preview, and acknowledgement grants no missing permission. Bare legacy `/write revert:true` refuses unsafe pending recovery; ordinary non-pending one-level undo remains available. Approval/dismissal preserve the stored snapshot/index state (including recovery-only or absent index), rather than certifying current connector bytes as indexed. Terminal retries remain owner-gated and idempotent; `uri` is omitted without current READ and WRITE access. Revert restores the saved baseline and refuses missing baselines or occupied move destinations. Discard/Repair remain orphan-only, owner-gated operations; no transient outage is proof of orphanhood.
