 ### v2 delegation workflow
 
-1. create or select a role session. For a disposable worker, omit an initial model prompt: `wolfpack agent spawn <project> --name <task-role> --json`. Put all worker instructions in `agent_task_send.task` so the new Pi process can become idle before assignment.
+Configure Pi role models with `WOLFPACK_IMPLEMENTER_MODEL` and `WOLFPACK_REVIEWER_MODEL`; they default to `openai-codex/gpt-5.6-terra` and `openai-codex/gpt-5.6-sol`, respectively. Explicit user or project choices override those defaults.
+
+```bash
+IMPLEMENTER_MODEL="${WOLFPACK_IMPLEMENTER_MODEL:-openai-codex/gpt-5.6-terra}"
+REVIEWER_MODEL="${WOLFPACK_REVIEWER_MODEL:-openai-codex/gpt-5.6-sol}"

+1. create or select a role session. For a disposable worker, omit an initial assignment prompt and pass the resolved role model: `wolfpack agent spawn <project> --name <task-role> --model "$IMPLEMENTER_MODEL" --json` (or `"$REVIEWER_MODEL"` for review). Put all worker instructions in `agent_task_send.task` so the new Pi process can become idle before assignment.
 2. verify structured session readiness, wait for extension registration, and read `taskEndpoint` from `wolfpack session status <session> --json`.
 3. call `agent_task_send` with that endpoint and the complete task instructions. Keep working; use `agent_task_status` or `agent_task_inbox` for structured evidence, and call `agent_task_wait` only when the user explicitly asks to block.
 4. use `agent_task_message` for durable questions, answers, and information. The receiver calls `agent_task_done` as its final action; no completion prose follows.
 5. independently verify the result, call `agent_task_ack({ taskId })` once for that terminal task, then explicitly retain or close only the role sessions the parent spawned.
 
+Coordinator-capable agents may delegate further when justified, and the spawning coordinator owns each child's lifecycle. After terminal completion and acknowledgment, deliberately retain the child or run `wolfpack kill <stable-session-id> --json`, then verify that exact ID is absent from `wolfpack list --json`. Never use `wolfpack session send`, `/exit`, or `/quit` for cleanup; terminal input is not Wolfpack teardown.

 ### v2 worker-only execution gate
 
 Set `PI_TASK_WORKER=1` only when launching a task-only worker. The exact value enables a fail-closed model `tool_call` gate; an absent value or any other value leaves ordinary interactive Pi behavior unchanged. Before assignment, only `agent_task_inbox`, `agent_task_status`, and `agent_task_wait` are allowed. Other current and future model tools are blocked with the stable reason `PI_TASK_WORKER_ASSIGNMENT_REQUIRED`. Explicit user `!`/`!!` shell commands are outside Pi's model `tool_call` event and are not intercepted.

 use `wolfpack-tailnet-control` for session control. this skill covers endpoint-owned v2 task lifecycle, structured handoffs, and parent verification. The package default is the v2 extension described by Wolfpack's [relay v2 control-api contract](https://github.com/almogdepaz/wolfpack/blob/main/docs/control-api-schema.md#pi-tasks-relay-v2-boundary).
 
+## choose one assignment mode
+
+choose exactly one mode for the initial assignment:
+
+- **full-startup mode:** spawn with the complete `--plan`, `--prompt-file`, or concise `--prompt`. do not call `agent_task_send` for that same work.
+- **endpoint mode:** spawn without a startup plan or prompt, obtain the structured `taskEndpoint`, then put the complete assignment in one `agent_task_send.task`.
+
+never combine a plan-driven spawn with a narrower endpoint task. prefer one cohesive implementation handoff per approved PR or phase; split only at a real approval, design, isolation, or blocker boundary—not per issue, commit, finding, or verification checkpoint. the remaining v2 workflow below describes endpoint mode.
+
+## role model selection
+
+Pi role models are explicit and configurable at spawn time:
+
+```bash
+IMPLEMENTER_MODEL="${WOLFPACK_IMPLEMENTER_MODEL:-openai-codex/gpt-5.6-terra}"
+REVIEWER_MODEL="${WOLFPACK_REVIEWER_MODEL:-openai-codex/gpt-5.6-sol}"
+```
+
+Pass `--model "$IMPLEMENTER_MODEL"` when spawning the editing implementer and `--model "$REVIEWER_MODEL"` when spawning the read-only reviewer. an explicit user or project model choice overrides the environment/default. never infer role or model from the session name, and never omit the resolved model because the current parent default may differ.
+
 ## v2 requirements and addressing
 
 - load this package's default extension in every participating Pi process and set `WOLFPACK_SESSION_NAME`. Set `WOLFPACK_PORT` only when the local Wolfpack control port differs from `18790`.
 - address `agent_task_send` targets only as `to: { relay, id }`. For the default Wolfpack adapter, the relay is `wolfpack-pi-tasks-v2` and the ID is opaque.
-- create a disposable worker without an initial model prompt: `wolfpack agent spawn <project> --name <task-role> --json`. Do not start a disposable worker with a blocking “wait for assignments” prompt. Put the complete instructions in `agent_task_send.task`.
+- create a disposable worker without an initial assignment prompt: `wolfpack agent spawn <project> --name <task-role> --model "$IMPLEMENTER_MODEL" --json` (or `"$REVIEWER_MODEL"` for review). Do not start a disposable worker with a blocking “wait for assignments” prompt. Put the complete instructions in `agent_task_send.task`.
 - after the target extension registers, run structured session control (`wolfpack session status <session> --json`) and read its `taskEndpoint`. Do not derive endpoint IDs from session names, broker IDs, terminal labels, output, or prose.
 - pass the returned endpoint without translation:
 
 ```json
 {
   "to": { "relay": "wolfpack-pi-tasks-v2", "id": "target-opaque-endpoint-id" },
-  "task": "implement the narrow change and run focused tests",
-  "timeoutMs": 1800000
+  "task": "implement the approved phase and run focused tests",
+  "timeoutMs": 3600000
 }
 ```
 
-The default `agent_task_send` schema is exactly `to`, `task`, and optional `timeoutMs`. v1-only fields such as context, role, metadata, preflight, idempotency keys, and completion prompts are not silently accepted or translated.
+The default `agent_task_send` schema is exactly `to`, `task`, and optional `timeoutMs`. v1-only fields such as context, role, metadata, preflight, idempotency keys, and completion prompts are not silently accepted or translated. use at least `3600000` milliseconds for coding assignments; timeout is a failure deadline, not a progress-poll interval.
 
 ## phase roles and handoffs
 
-For a multi-step project phase, retain one persistent implementer and one persistent read-only reviewer. Reuse a healthy role session for corrections and follow-up review; a completed task finishes one assignment, not the underlying session. Do not rotate a healthy role session for routine corrections. Rotate only for phase completion, material context degradation, harness failure, or required specialist independence. Keep at most one active assignment per role unless the user explicitly approves parallel work.

Rotate only for phase completion, material context degradation, harness failure, or required specialist independence.

+A coordinator-capable agent may delegate further when the quality or throughput gain justifies it. The spawning coordinator owns each child's complete lifecycle: record the stable session ID, acknowledge its terminal task once, then deliberately retain the child or close it with `wolfpack kill <stable-session-id> --json` and verify that exact ID is absent from `wolfpack list --json`.
 
 `PI_TASK_WORKER=1` sessions are leaf roles. Workers cannot call `agent_task_send`; workers cannot call `agent_task_cancel`; workers cannot call `agent_task_ack`. These coordinator-tool attempts are blocked with the stable reason `PI_TASK_WORKER_COORDINATION_FORBIDDEN`, not the pre-assignment reason. They may use `agent_task_message` only for the eligible incorporated assignment named by its input `taskId`. Generic role-orchestration guidance applies only to non-worker coordinators. Task workers must not create, rotate, or close Wolfpack sessions through shell or session-control tools.

 ## v2 workflow
 
 1. create or select the role session, verify its structured project and terminal readiness, then obtain its registered `taskEndpoint`.
 2. call `agent_task_send` with the opaque endpoint and concise instructions in `task`. The tool returns after relay acceptance only, not Pi insertion or model execution. If submission reports a retryable delivery error after local persistence, use the structured task ID from the error and inspect it rather than creating an unrelated replacement.

+3. keep working. Use `agent_task_status` or `agent_task_inbox` only at meaningful checkpoints or when progress evidence is needed; do not turn status checks into lifecycle chatter. Call `agent_task_wait` only when the user explicitly asks to block.
 4. use `agent_task_message` for durable `question`, `answer`, or `information` flow. Do not use rendered text, terminal output, or logs as lifecycle evidence.
 5. assignees call `agent_task_done` as their final action with the assigned task ID, terminal status, concise summary, and optional structured result, error, and artifact declarations. Report source modifications in `result.changedFiles`; artifacts are receiver-project-relative regular files for a parent to inspect, not changed-file lists: `{ "result": { "changedFiles": ["src/extension.ts"] }, "artifacts": [{ "path": "verification/task-2.md" }] }`. No prose completion afterward.
 6. the parent independently verifies files, diff, tests, and artifacts. Then call `agent_task_ack({ taskId })` for that one terminal task and explicitly retain or close the spawned role session.
