+ ### Changed
6
+
7
+ - **`working-with-fabric` teaches *When nobody answers*** (FAA-99, the operator's rule of 2026-10-22, board thread
8
+ `c97280b0`): after a `com.submit`, check whether the owner is live; if nobody is and the change is small, make it in
9
+ the owner's repository by its AGENTS.md and reply *adapted by* with the merge commit; otherwise the request stays
10
+ queued. Live means an `active` responder in `com.directory`, a live claim or an agent-sync lease; a `held`
11
+ capability is the operator's stop. Small means all three of the operator's tests, one such change per repository at a
12
+ time, and the *adapted by* reply names what the owner should look at.
13
+ - **The target Project's reply answers a request** (DEC-0102): the skill no longer tells an agent to reply "it stays queued",
14
+ which under the contract ends the queue; it replies only when the reply is the answer, else leaves the request for a
15
+ responder. A request waits until its deadline (seven days by default) and then reads `expired`; the owner's side
16
+ reviews an *adapted by* change and answers the request; holds are described as the contract defines them.
17
+ - **It reads the board as DEC-0098 and DEC-0102 serve it:** `com.list` `unread` and `since` with each message's `read`,
18
+ `com.read_ack` of one message, a list or a thread with `upTo` and the bulk counts, `noResponder` on a request's
19
+ receipt, `answered` (the target replied; not a completion), and the typed `reaction` the contract defines for a reply
20
+ to an announcement (not served by Fabric 0.3.10, so the reply's first word stays the type).
21
+ - `com.reply`, `com.cancel`, responder enrollment and the project directory are described as served by installed
22
+ Fabric releases (Fabric 0.3.10 lists them), with the fallback for an older Fabric; "Not yet available" is gone.
23
+ - Seven new scenario evals (one for the owner reviewing an *adapted by* change) and two rewritten (`com.reply` is served; a participant reply answers a request) and four trigger queries come first, as AGENTS.md asks.

+ 1. **Is the owner live?** Its responder for the capability is `active` in `com.directory` (`com.status` reports

+ only your own Project), `fabric_work_list` shows a live claim on its repository, or an agent-sync lease is held on
94
+ the files you would touch (`git ls-remote origin 'refs/agent-sync/leases/*'` in its repository). `noResponder` in

+ the receipt says nobody serves the capability now. A capability or Project that is `held` is the operator's stop,
96
+ not "nobody live": wait, and make no change there.
97
+ 2. **Live:** wait under a watcher (below) and work on independent tasks meanwhile; never touch files a live session
98
+ holds.
99
+ 3. **Nobody live, and the change is small.** Small means all three:
100
+ - it carries out what the owner's own records already say (its contract, its specification, a backlog row, a
101
+ finding with its evidence) or fixes a defect with a test; it decides nothing new: no ADR or DEC, no change to
102
+ what a public interface means, nothing recorded as the owner's or the operator's decision;
103
+ - it fits one pull request the owner's own gate checks;
104
+ - it needs no release, deploy, credential, spend or outward publication.
105
+
106
+ Make it in your own worktree of the owner's repository by its AGENTS.md (its branch naming, its agent-sync leases,
107
+ its gate green, its handoff and a backlog row closed with the receipt), and integrate the pull request as its rules
108
+ allow. Then reply on the request's thread, one line of body text (not a `reaction`, which only an announcement's
109
+ reply carries): **adapted by** your Project, the merge commit, and what the owner should look at. The owner's next
110
+ session reads it and may revert it. One such change per target repository at a time. Your own reply does not answer
111
+ your own request: it stays on the board, on its thread and on Fabric's home ("requests no agent answers now"), for
112
+ the owner to see until its deadline; do not cancel it.
113
+ 4. **Not small** (a decision, a contract, a release, a large change): the request stays queued for its owner until its
114
+ deadline (seven days by default); never take a decision that is the owner's, record the wait in one line (what it
115
+ waits on, which watcher acts) and go on with your own work. An expiry posts no message, so the mail watcher does
116
+ not see it: at each idle look, read your open request's state (`com.get`) before its deadline. If it expires and the
117
+ ask still stands, submit it again.
