 ### forge.json — the configuration
 
-A dedicated `forge.json` (JSONC — comments allowed), resolved exactly like
-opencode's own config language — **merged together, not replaced**, project
-discovered by walking up:
-
-1. the project layer: the **nearest** `.opencode/forge.json` walking up from
-   the workspace (session worktree → session directory → host launch
-   directory as the anchor chain; first file found on the ancestor chain
-   wins, nothing above it is consulted)
-2. the global layer: `~/.config/opencode/forge.json`
-
-The two layers **merge**: agents combine, and on an id collision the project
-definition wins wholesale (one definition per id — no cross-layer field
-blending). A broken file empties only its own layer/pool (error finding with
-the parse location); everything else still applies. Both layers re-read at
-every real materialization — host boot, a first config build, or an
-opencode config reload — without a restart; a new session alone does
-not re-read them (see the apply-timing table below).
-
-**Hierarchical pools on a shared host.** Agent frontends (paseo and friends)
-routinely share ONE opencode host process across projects, re-initializing
-plugins with different directories. The plugin therefore keeps an
-**append-only anchor set**: every host initialization appends its directory
-(first one = the *primary anchor*), and pools resolve from the union —
-anchor flips can only ever ADD pools, never remove them. Per anchor the
-family is:
-
-- the **root pool** — the nearest forge.json walking up from that anchor
-  (merged over the global layer per agent id);
-- every **sub-pool** — a `.opencode/forge.json` anywhere in the anchor's
-  subdirectories, discovered by a bounded breadth-first scan (lexicographic
-  sibling order; dependency dirs like `node_modules`/`.git`/`dist` are
-  skipped; 2,000-directory budget per anchor).
-
-The **primary anchor's root pool keeps plain `forge-<id>` ids** (a
-single-project host is unchanged); every other family materializes
-**namespaced** as `forge-<ns>-<id>`. `ns` is the file's optional `pool`
-field, else the sanitized directory name. Pool identity is the absolute file
-path — the same file reached through two anchors materializes exactly once;
-namespace and materialized-id collisions resolve deterministically with an
-error finding, never by silent shadowing. The `/crew` roster and the
-`crew_begin` registration output list the dispatchable agents **grouped by
-pool** with each pool's origin path, the primary marked.
+A dedicated `forge.json` (JSONC — comments allowed) with **workspace pool
+ownership and a global fallback** (sole ownership — the same
+workspace-ownership strictness as opencode's native MCP config):
+
+1. the **workspace pool**: the **nearest** `.opencode/forge.json` walking up
+   from the session's worktree (session worktree → session directory → host
+   launch directory as the anchor chain; first file found on the ancestor
+   chain wins, nothing above it is consulted). When it exists, it **IS the
+   session's whole dispatch roster**.
+2. the **global layer**: `~/.config/opencode/forge.json` — a **fallback
+   ONLY**: when the workspace has no pool file, the global layer serves as
+   the whole roster; when the workspace has one, the global layer is NOT
+   consulted for that session (**a fallback, not a merge** — no per-id
+   blending, global agents never ride a workspace pool).
+
+`forge.json` files nested **deeper** in the workspace's subtree (a cloned
+repo or subfolder carrying its own file) are **ignored entirely** — they
+contribute no agents, split no pools, and extend nothing (a git checkout
+does not change your roster). A broken file empties only its own pool
+(error finding with the parse location); everything else still applies.
+Both layers re-read at every real materialization — host boot, a first
+config build, or an opencode config reload — without a restart; a new
+session alone does not re-read them, and a **deleted pool file
+un-materializes its agents** (deletion is real — no zombie pools).
+
+**Pools on a shared host.** Agent frontends (paseo and friends) routinely
+share ONE opencode host process across projects, re-initializing plugins
+with different directories. The host therefore remembers every workspace
+directory it was initialized in, and the **host-wide materialization set**
+is the global layer plus each seen workspace's pool (one pool per
+directory: its walk-up nearest file). Pool membership is re-derived from
+disk truth on every resolve — a deleted pool file disappears at the next
+config hook. The FIRST seen workspace's pool keeps **plain `forge-<id>`
+ids** (a single-project host is unchanged); every other pool materializes
+**namespaced** as `forge-<ns>-<id>` (`ns` = the file's optional `pool`
+field, else the sanitized pool-directory name; the global fallback family
+derives `global`). Namespace and materialized-id collisions resolve
+deterministically with an error finding, never by silent shadowing.
+
+**Dispatch is gated to the session's own pool.** Materializing every pool
+host-wide is a vocabulary necessity (the task tool's agent list is
+host-level); what a given session may actually DISPATCH is scoped
+session-locally: a task call targeting an agent whose pool belongs to
+ANOTHER workspace is refused with a finding naming the target's origin
+pool path, stating it is *not dispatchable from this session*, and the
+exits — open a session in that workspace, or configure the role into this
+workspace's pool / the global layer. The `/crew` roster and the
+`crew_begin` registration output lead with the session's dispatchable pool
+(its forge.json origin — workspace pool, or the global layer marked as
+fallback) and list every other host pool as NOT dispatchable with its
+origin path.

+### Readonly exec seal (the sealed supervised-exec channel)
+
+The readonly shape used to seal only the TOOL face (write/edit/bash + the
+patch family) — a readonly worker could still mutate the world through its
+exec channel (`forge_shell`). The exec seal closes that hole: a session whose
+running `forge-*` worker has an **explicit** `shape: "readonly"` (an absent
+shape defaults to write and is **never** sealed) has its `forge_shell` calls
+classified BEFORE spawn by a pure string classifier (`src/exec-classify.ts`,
+no fs access at classify time). READ-CLASS commands (inspection, search,
+read-only evals — `rg`, `git log`/`status`/`diff`, `node -e`/`python -c`
+read evals, version/help queries) flow normally; **WRITE-CLASS commands are
+denied** with a bounded finding (once per session per indicator class) that
+names the readonly shape, names the classified write indicator, and points
+at the remedy: `"shape": "write"` on that agent when its job legitimately
+mutates. The worker is told to report the refusal verbatim, not work around
+it. The primary forge session is never sealed; a session whose agent cannot
+be resolved fails open (one-time disclosure). The seal composes with — never
+replaces — the draft-phase ask/deny posture on the channel.
+
+Covered WRITE-CLASS indicators:
+
+| indicator | covers |
+| --- | --- |
+| `redirect` | output redirection to files — `>` `>>` and fd forms (`2>`, `1>`, `*>`); the PowerShell family uses the same operators |
+| `mutating-cmdlet` | `Set-Content`, `Out-File`, `New-Item`, `Remove-Item`, `Move-Item`, `Copy-Item`, `Add-Content`, `Clear-Content` |
+| `git-mutation` | `git add/commit/push/reset/checkout/rebase/merge/clean/rm` |
+| `pkg-mutation` | `npm publish`, `npm install` (incl. `npm i`/`ci`/`add`), `bun add`/`install`, `pip`/`pip3 install` |
+| `workspace-write` | output-target flags (`--out`, `--output`, `--out-file`/`--outfile`/`--outFile`, `--dest`, `--destination`, `-o`) whose parsed value is a workspace-relative path, or an absolute path under the session workspace |
+
+**Honest positioning — this is belt-in-depth, NOT a sandbox.** A command
+that fails to classify is treated as READ-CLASS (fail-open on the channel,
+the same posture as every refusal belt). The known bypass surface, verbatim:
+**indirect writes** (a script that writes internally — `node build.js` with
+no redirect is indirection the classifier does not model), **`Start-Process`
+writers** (spawning a writer process is explicitly out of scope), and
+**encoded payloads** (`powershell -EncodedPayload …`, base64 blobs) are NOT
+covered; they flow on the readonly channel. The seal narrows the exec hole
+from "completely open" to "explicitly constructed indirection" — a true OS
+level seal (write-time redirection, shadow copies, containers, win32+POSIX
+dual implementations) was evaluated and rejected as a disproportionate
+rewrite (see `openspec/changes/readonly-exec-seal/design.md`, option D3).
