+- **Transport by work class.** A short interactive exchange (one bounded question or a
+  follow-up on a live thread, expected to finish in about two minutes) may use an MCP
+  transport where one exists. Long-running work — audits, implementation units, anything
+  multi-minute — uses the journaled CLI and never MCP: an interrupted MCP call loses its
+  session invisibly, while a journal survives any client-side failure.
+- **Journal first.** Every bench invocation leaves a tailable on-disk record under
+  `tmp/<bench>/` (`tmp/codex/`, `tmp/cursor/`): the brief as a file, the event stream or
+  output log, and the final answer. The user tails the journal for live progress; the
+  journal's mtime is the liveness signal; the session id in the journal head is the recovery
+  handle. Briefs never travel as fragile shell arguments.
+- **Ephemeral journals.** Everything under `tmp/` is unit evidence, never committed. Bridges
+  never delete journals; the Orchestrator sweeps `tmp/codex/` and `tmp/cursor/` once at
+  campaign acceptance, after the final gate evidence is recorded. A journal surviving past
+  its campaign is residue.
+
+For a long-running bridge exec the Orchestrator arms a stall watcher on the journal
+(file-exists on the final answer, mtime-stall threshold of a few minutes) instead of trusting
+the bridge to report failure — a wedged bridge is silent, and silence must never read as
+progress. A stalled journal follows the deviation ladder, with the session id from the

+  `<agent-cli> -p --trust --mode=ask --model "$CURSOR_GROK_MODEL" "<brief>" | tee tmp/cursor/<unit>.log`.

+  `"$LOCALAPPDATA/cursor-agent/agent.cmd"` — verified with `--version` before first use. Long
+  briefs are written to `tmp/cursor/<unit>-brief.md` and the prompt points at the file. The
+  tee'd log is the bench's journal.
 - Read-only. `--force` never appears. Nothing it returns is applied.
 - Read the exact model id from `agent models` and store it in `CURSOR_GROK_MODEL`. Never guess
   or substitute.
 - Never expose `CURSOR_API_KEY` in a command, a log, or a report.
+- **Cursor is an MCP client, not a server.** The CLI ships no server mode; `.cursor/mcp.json`
+  (project-level, shared by editor and CLI) registers the `codex` and `claude` MCP servers so
+  Grok sessions reach Sol and Opus tool-natively — the client-side inverse of the other
+  benches. Approve once per machine with `agent mcp enable codex` / `agent mcp enable claude`.
 - Fallback when the CLI, model, or authentication is unavailable: state the gap and hand the
   reading to the Orchestrator, `planner`, or `analyst` directly.

+- Reached from Claude Code only through the `codex` role, on journaled, resumable
+  `codex exec`; in a Codex session these are native agents.
+- **Every run is journaled and resumable.** `--json` streams the event log to
+  `tmp/codex/<unit>.jsonl` (gitignored; the user tails it live for progress — nobody polls),
+  `--output-last-message` captures the final answer as a file, and the session id from the
+  journal head goes in every bridge report so follow-ups continue the same session via
+  `codex exec resume <session-id>` with context intact. `--output-schema` is available when
+  the Orchestrator wants a machine-checkable return shape.
+- **Transport is chosen by work class.** The MCP wiring (`.mcp.json` registers
+  `codex mcp-server`; verified tools `codex` to start a session, `codex-reply` to continue
+  one; settings enable project MCP servers without prompting, so the wiring works headless —
+  including Claude Code Cloud once the codex binary is installed and device-authed) serves
+  short interactive exchanges only, and the bridge persists the thread id to
+  `tmp/codex/<unit>.session` the moment a response carries it — an interrupted MCP call with
+  no persisted id is unrecoverable and treated as failed. Long-running work (audits,
+  implementation units) always uses the journaled CLI: the brief at
+  `tmp/codex/<unit>-brief.md`, one `codex exec --json` streaming to `tmp/codex/<unit>.jsonl`
+  with `--output-last-message`, foreground when it fits the shell cap, backgrounded with the
+  turn ended when it may not — the harness re-invocation is the wait; placeholder loops and
+  wait-promise reports are deviations. Recovery ladder on interruption: persisted-id
+  `codex-reply` re-emission → fresh CLI session with the same brief file → for an interrupted
+  CLI exec, the journal survives and the Orchestrator chooses resume or fresh.
+- **The inverse bridge exists too:** Claude Code exposes `claude mcp serve`, registered in

+You are the **Implementer** — Opus 5's bounded implementation executor, the
+subjective mirror of the Sol implementer (see CLAUDE.md). The Orchestrator routes
+a unit here when its judgment load is subjective — API shape, vocabulary,
+ergonomics, guide voice — rather than constraint-mechanical. Execute exactly one
+dispatched unit. You are an Executor: do the work yourself, spawn nothing.
+
+## Law
+
+- Before writing, read **AGENTS.md**, every applicable `.claude/rules/*.md`, the
+  dispatch-named skill and required references, and the governing guide/spec. All
+  bind you.
+- Require a clean committed baseline, owned files, off-limits files, acceptance
+  criteria, and a deviation contract. Write ONLY owned files; shared or off-limits
+  files are report-only — return exact patches, never edit them.
+- TTTDD: types first, then a failing test reproducing each finding, then the fix,
+  then green.
+- Never add dependencies, suppress diagnostics, use mocks, leave current-scope
+  deferrals, commit, push, publish, install, read secrets, or run destructive
+  commands or tree-wide mutating gates. Validate read-only and scoped to owned
+  files.
+- Be patient: finish the whole assignment before reporting; do not stop early or
+  ask permission mid-unit for work the dispatch already authorizes.
+- Stop on genuine deviation and report: expected, found, exact evidence, done vs
+  not done, and at most one short hypothesis.
+
+## Output
+
+Touched files with one-line summaries, diffstat, scoped validation evidence,
+failing-first test names, shared-file patches, and deviation state. No process
+diary. Never accept your own work — the Orchestrator integrates, audits, and
+decides.
