+### Agents — stored model definitions
+
+A blueprint can declare the agents it needs. The block needs `formatVersion: 2`, so a CLI that predates the
+format refuses the file instead of misreading it.
+
+```yaml

+agents:
+  intake-triage:             # the key is the agent's name: 1-64 letters, digits, '_' and '-'

+    limits: { maxToolCalls: 10, maxWrites: 2 }         # ... and limits.maxWrites of at least 1
+    budget: { maxInferenceCents: 100 }
+```
+
+`apply` and `bootstrap` create each agent in the blueprint's context, after the roles, scripts and triggers and
+before any key is minted, and `plan` lists one step per agent. The write is convergent, and the platform does the
+comparing: a new name is created at version 1, an identical definition writes nothing, and a changed definition
+becomes the next version. Nothing is edited in place, so every earlier version stays readable. The apply summary
+names what it did to each agent (`created at version 1`, `unchanged at version 2`, `version 2 -> 3`, or `adopted`).
+
+- **The applying credential needs `agents:c`**, and `agents:u` and `agents:r` as well whenever the agent already exists, even
+  when its definition is unchanged (the platform checks `u` before it compares, and without `r` it cannot show the existing agent
+  and answers that the name is in use). A re-apply with only `agents:c` is refused, and the error says which scopes are missing.
+  A principal without them gets a `403`, and the apply stops with an error that names the scope and the context.
+  Agents are written before the key, so a refused apply mints none. This is a grant on the credential that applies
+  the blueprint, not something to put in the blueprint's `accessProfile`: `agents` is a control-plane resource, so
+  the scope gate refuses it there.
+- **Each agent is marked as this blueprint's.** Another blueprint's agent of the same name is refused, not rewritten, so two
+  blueprints cannot declare one name, and renaming a blueprint that already created agents strands them: the new name is
+  refused for them. The mark is set once and cannot change. It is the blueprint's own `name`, which the file declares
+  for itself (the same trust as for scripts and triggers): any file that declares `name: X` rewrites the agents marked
+  `X`, so the adoption flag below guards unmarked agents only.
+- **An agent made by hand under the same name is refused unless you pass `--allow-agent-adoption`** (to `apply` or `bootstrap`; a
+  flag only the operator can give, never something the blueprint declares). Adopting marks it as this blueprint's and writes the
+  declared definition as its next version if that differs, so every run that uses the agent's latest version changes; earlier
+  versions stay readable. Nothing is written to a refused agent. Once adopted it is an ordinary managed agent and later applies
+  need no flag. This is how you bring agents you created by hand under a blueprint. It is checked per agent as the agents are
+  written, partway through the apply, so what an earlier agent or section already wrote stays.
+- **Hand edits to a managed agent do not last.** A version written with `vectros agents version` (or the API) on an agent a
+  blueprint declares is replaced by the declared definition at the next apply, as another version. Change the blueprint.
+- **A retired agent that the blueprint still declares fails the apply** (`409`), after the sections before it are written. Restore it
+  with `vectros agents version <id> --restore --file <definition>`, or remove the entry; a purged agent cannot be restored.
+- **Removing an entry deletes nothing.** The agent stays stored and runnable. Retire it deliberately through the
+  API (`DELETE /v1/agents/{id}`); a retired agent keeps its name, so the same name cannot be created again.
+- **`blueprint-test` runs a blueprint that declares agents, under names of their own.** A retired or purged agent keeps
+  its name for good, so the test applies a copy of your blueprint whose agent names carry a suffix unique to the run
+  (`triage` becomes `triage-t1a2b3c4d`; the report lists each), then retires and purges exactly the agents it created,
+  even when an assertion failed. Agents that exist under your declared names are never touched, and the file you wrote is
+  not changed. Because the suffix takes 10 characters, a name can be at most 54 characters long here (exit `2`, before any
+  write). The credential needs `agents:d` as well as the scopes an apply needs; if a retire is refused the agent stays active, the report names the API call that retires it, and the run exits
+  `1` (a teardown failure on any other resource is still reported without changing the exit code). **^C, SIGINT and SIGTERM.** Once the apply has begun, only the agent step has a stop point (a signal during context provisioning or the snapshot ends the run before the apply starts). After the first signal the run writes no further agents and skips
+  the assertions if they have not begun, but the rest of the apply still runs to its end (schemas, roles, the profile, the scoped-key mint,
+  seed records, the index poll), so a request in progress or a long seed delays the stop. Then the same teardown as after a failed run
+  removes what the apply's result lists (never the context, the service principal or namespaces), the report is printed, and the exit
+  code is `130` (SIGINT) or `143` (SIGTERM); a run stopped this way never passes, and these codes win over `1` (the report still names
+  an agent that could not be removed). A step that never answers holds the run until you send the signal again. That second signal starts no
+  teardown: it prints the id of each agent this run created with the calls that retire and erase it, names a create that was sent and never
+  answered, notes that other things the run wrote are not listed, and leaves at once. With `--keep` nothing is torn down. A process manager that
+  follows SIGTERM with SIGKILL after a grace period ends the process wherever it is, and SIGKILL cannot be handled: what was written so far
+  stays. A create of a tracked agent is sent with no client retries, so a single 429 or 5xx fails that create (the run reports it and tears
+  down) instead of being retried; a create that may have gone through is searched for by name. Each run leaves one purged row per declared agent (the name stays reserved), which
+  `agents list --include-retired` shows. With `--keep` the agents stay, under their run names.
+- `authority` is `CALLER` (the default and the only value the platform accepts): a run calls tools with the identity
+  and permissions of whoever starts it, further limited by the tool whitelist.
+
+The same API is available directly as `vectros agents list|get|create|version`; see the README.

+### Added
+
+- **`vectros blueprint apply` and `bootstrap` create the agents of a blueprint's `agents` section** (it needs `formatVersion: 2`), after the
+  roles, scripts and triggers and before any key is minted. `blueprint plan` lists one step per agent (model, tools, limits, budget,
+  prompt size). A new name is created at version 1, an unchanged definition writes nothing, a changed one becomes a new version; the
+  summary says which (`created at version 1`, `unchanged at version 2`, `version 2 -> 3`).
+- **Agents are marked as the blueprint's own.** Another blueprint's agent of the same name is refused, and an agent made by hand is
+  refused unless you pass `--allow-agent-adoption` (adopting it writes the declared definition as a new version, which changes every
+  run that uses the latest version). Removing an entry from the blueprint deletes nothing.
+- **Scopes:** the applying credential needs `agents:c`, and `agents:u` and `agents:r` as well when the agent already exists, even if
+  its definition is unchanged. On a `403` the apply stops, names the agent, scope and context, and mints no key.
+- **`vectros agents list|get|create|version`.** `--context` is required and `--tenant test|live` is accepted. `create` takes a name
+  (1 to 64 letters, digits, `_` or `-`) and a JSON or YAML definition file. `version` takes the agent's id and a file, writes a new
+  version as a full replacement, and takes `--expected-version` (refuse the write if someone else got there first) and `--restore`
+  (bring a retired agent back). `list` takes `--include-retired`; `get` takes the id and `--at-version`. There is no `delete` verb:
+  retire an agent through the API.
+- **A blueprint can grant `runs:c` and `runs:r`.** A trigger cannot be granted `runs`, directly or through a role.
+- **`blueprint validate` and `plan` warn about a schema field named `externalId`, `partnerUserId`, `scopes` or `userId`** (the platform
+  reserves them; exit `0`); a lookup field with one of those names is an error (exit `2`).
+- **A blueprint's names, labels and descriptions with more invisible characters are refused.**
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`vectros --version` reports SDK 0.49.0.**
+- **`apply` and `bootstrap` ask before reusing a trigger's service principal that this blueprint did not mark:** a prompt, or
+  `--confirm-existing-principal` in a pipeline (exit `3` without it, before anything is written). Principals from earlier releases
+  carry no mark, so the first re-apply of a blueprint with triggers needs the confirmation once per trigger; marking needs `users:u`.
+- **`vectros blueprint-test` runs a blueprint with agents.** Agent names get a per-run suffix (a declared name over 54 characters exits
+  `2`), the test retires and purges only the agents it created, and the credential needs `agents:d`. `^C` or SIGTERM during the run
+  tears down what the apply listed and exits `130` or `143`. Each run leaves one purged row per agent, and `--keep` leaves the agents.
+- **Text from blueprint files, agent definitions and the platform reaches the terminal without control, invisible or bidirectional
+  characters,** cut at 200 lines or 20,000 characters (`[truncated]`). YAML parser warnings are no longer printed.
+- **Blueprint validation runs on zod 4.** An integer beyond JavaScript's safe-integer range and `Infinity` are refused, a string length
+  counts characters, and a wrong-typed value stops the checks that depend on it. zod's own messages are reworded (a missing field reads

+## `vectros agents` — stored, versioned agent definitions
+
+A stored agent is a named definition of a model, a system prompt, a tool whitelist, per-run limits and a
+spending cap, kept in an app context. Every change writes a new immutable version and the agent always
+points at its newest one; nothing is edited in place. These verbs and a blueprint's `agents:` section
+write through the same API, so use them for an agent no blueprint manages and to read what an apply stored.
+
+```bash
+vectros agents create intake-triage --context my-app --file ./intake-triage.yaml
+vectros agents list --context my-app                              # each agent at its newest version
+vectros agents list --context my-app --include-retired
+vectros agents get 3b1c9f2e7a5d… --context my-app                 # newest version, with its prompt

+vectros agents version 3b1c9f2e7a5d… --context my-app --file ./intake-triage.yaml --expected-version 1
+```
+
+The definition file is JSON, or YAML for a `.yaml`/`.yml` file, with the fields of a blueprint's `agents` entry:
+`model` (required), `description`, `authority`, `system`, `tools` (`{ name, allowWrites? }`), `limits` and `budget`.
+A key outside that list is refused before anything is sent, because the platform would drop it and store the agent
+without what you meant it to have.

+| Subcommand | Flags | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `create` | the agent name; `--context <c>`, `--file <path>` (both required); `--tenant <test\|live>` | Stores version 1.

A **full replacement**: a field the file leaves out takes its default, nothing is carried over from the version before. `--expected-version` refuses the write (`409`) if the agent has a newer version than the one you read. `--restore` brings a **retired** agent back, with the file as its next version; a purged agent cannot be restored. |
+| `list` | `--context <c>` (required); `--include-retired`, `--tenant <test\|live>` | Each agent at its newest version, newest first. Retired agents are left out unless asked for. |
+| `get` | the agent id; `--context <c>` (required); `--at-version <n>`, `--tenant <test\|live>` | One agent, with its prompt and write-enabled tools marked. Ids are opaque: copy them from `agents list`. |
+
+`--context` is required on all four, because an agent belongs to one app context. `create` needs the
+`agents:c` scope on the credential, `version` needs `agents:u`, and `get` needs `agents:r`; `list` needs `agents:r` too, or `runs:c`, which lists each agent's name, version and status without its definition. A `403` names the scope. (A credential that
+can create but not read gets "the name is already in use" for a name that exists; the output says why.)
+There is no `delete`: retiring an agent keeps its name reserved, so it stays a deliberate call to the API.
