+# Managed third-party tool binaries
+
+Policy for when agent-kit **embeds** (managed download/cache) an upstream CLI
+versus leaving install to the host package manager / user.
+
+## Decision rule (YAGNI)
+
+Manage a binary only when **all** of the following hold:
+
+1. **Invisible filter or sidecar** — used on agent/hook hot paths without the
+   user intentionally invoking it (e.g. output filtering).
+2. **Freestanding install creates dual ownership** — PATH/`init` hooks or
+   second install stories fight path-stable `wp` surfaces.
+3. **Small, pinned, capability-probed** — single static binary (or tiny
+   archive), Apache/MIT-class license, bounded probe, fail-open degrade.
+4. **No existing first-class package channel** — if the tool is already the
+   workspace package manager or a full runtime (npm/vp/bun), do not invent a
+   parallel download channel.
+
+Otherwise: **probe + install hint**, or rely on existing global/package install.

+## Hard rules
+
+- Do **not** add managed downloaders for `vp` or `bun` without a product
+  decision that retires the package-manager install path (would fork ownership).
+- Do **not** reimplement upstream filter/CLI logic in TypeScript to avoid
+  shipping a binary.
+- New managed tools must: pin version in `compatible-versions.json`, document
+  license in `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`, use absolute path resolution (never bare
+  PATH as the only source of truth), and degrade fail-open when skip/missing.
+- Freestanding third-party PreToolUse hooks remain forbidden; setup strips
+  known RTK freestanding markers.
+
+## Implementation pattern (when adding a managed tool)
+
+1. Single module under `src/tool-runtime/managed-<tool>.ts` (resolve + ensure + probe).
+2. Setup scaffolder calls `ensure*` only; no brew/cargo as the default lane.
+3. All runtime call sites import the same resolve helper (DRY).
+4. Tests: inject downloader; isolate cache via env root; no network in unit tests.

+Webpresso is a product for building websites and agents on webpresso framework

+Token economy is a standing constraint on that loop, not an optimization applied
+when convenient: prefer the harnesses and building blocks — `wp_*` tools,

+tokens that still preserve quality. The orchestrator/executor split, the
+one-deliverable brief, and the cheapest-capable-model rule below are all

+
+**Brief scope drives executor cost more than model tier does.** A brief listing
+four numbered deliverables buys four investigations. Measured on one program:
+multi-item briefs ran 374K–501K tokens each; the same class of defect briefed as
+a single deliverable ran 117K and landed its PR. Trimming scope mid-flight does

+- Apply DRY/KISS/YAGNI to the **brief**, before dispatch — not to the diff after.
+  Ask "what is the single smallest change that fixes this?" and brief only that.
+- **Prefer deletion-shaped fixes.** Removing a behavior usually beats adding a
+  mechanism to describe it. Deletion-shaped fixes are cheaper to brief,
+  implement, and review, and they close a defect class rather than narrowing it —
+  which also removes the hedged "narrowed, not closed" wording a partial fix

+- Give the executor the diagnosis you already hold. Re-deriving a known root

+- Executors **poll in a loop**. Never end a turn waiting for a notification.
+- Read durable state directly instead of awaiting: a review gate's outcome is in

+The tier table above is host-agnostic. This section records how an operator maps

+  S/XS work and ordinary M work fan out across several concurrent executors;
+  that parallelism is where the throughput comes from, so it is the normal case,
+  not an exceptional one.
+- **The premium reasoning tier is narrow and deliberate** (e.g. the Claude Opus
+  class): L/XL blueprints, design/UI/frontend work, security- and
+  trust-boundary changes, and anything digest-, wire-format-, or
+  protocol-bearing. If one hard task is the only reason a blueprint wants this
+  tier, re-home that task — do not upgrade the whole lane.
+- **The frontier gating tier is rare and human-invoked** (e.g. the Claude
+  Fable/Mythos class). Its job is milestone approval on one-way doors — a schema
+  or wire format that cannot be un-shipped, a security-posture change, an
+  irreversible migration — not execution. It never enters routine dispatch and is
+  never the default for a sized blueprint.
+- **On a Codex host the operator's configured default model handles routine
+  checks**, with a premium family member reserved for the rare deep check. The
+  configuration owns that identity, not this document: read
+  `~/.codex/config.toml` (`model`), `CODEX_REVIEW_MODEL`, and
+  `CLAUDE_REVIEW_MODEL`. Never hardcode a model id or a preference ordering into
+  a plan, brief, or skill — the ids move faster than the prose does.
+
+Two orderings deliberately live elsewhere and are **not** restated here: the
+OpenCode reviewer purpose→family ordering, which is rendered into the

+reviewer policy and drift-gated by CI, and the agent-CLI tiers in
+[`supported-agent-clis.md`](./supported-agent-clis.md). Read those; a second

+- webpresso owns **managed packaging** of the upstream `rtk` binary (pinned
+  download into the Webpresso cache on setup), PreToolUse rewrite routing, and
+  wrapping of quality-engine runners when filtering is enabled
+- rtk owns shell-tool **output filtering** (implementation stays upstream;

+- freestanding consumer hooks (`rtk-rewrite.sh`, `rtk hook claude`) are
+  **retired** — never re-introduce them
+- consumers **do not** brew/cargo install rtk for Webpresso workflows
 
 ## Hard rules
 
 - Never reimplement upstream rtk filters in webpresso.
 - Never wrap the `rtk` prefix behind `wp rtk`.
-- Keep `wp_*` and `rtk *` as independent lanes.
+- Never install freestanding RTK PreToolUse groups in managed project settings.
+- Prefer managed absolute rtk path from setup; do not require a global PATH install.
