The pool runs as wide as a `task` tool batch — don't hand-tune it; fan out as wide as the work divides. A thunk that raises propagates — wrap risky work in `try/except` inside the thunk to keep partial results. In a loop, bind each closure's value with a default arg (`lambda d=d: …`) or every thunk captures the last one.
 - `pipeline(items, *stages)` — map items through `stages` left-to-right. There is a BARRIER between stages: ALL items clear stage N before stage N+1 begins. Each stage is a one-arg callable; stage 1 gets the original item, later stages get the previous result. Same pool width as `parallel()`.
 - `completion(prompt, *, model="default", system=None, schema=None)` — oneshot, stateless model call (no tools, no history). Tiers: "smol", "default", "slow". Cheap classification/scoring inside a fan-out.
 - `log(message)` — emit a progress line above the status tree. `phase(title)` — start a phase; the status lines that follow group under it.
