 ## Default workflow by host
 
 | Host | How to run `pi-review` |
 |------|-------------------------|
-| **Pi** (`/rv`) | Foreground CLI, **default streaming** only. Do **not** add `--no-stream` or `--progress-log` unless the user explicitly asks. |
-| **Claude Code, Codex, Cursor**, and similar AI agents | **Default: `--progress-log <path>` + background run + tail** (see below). Do **not** rely on foreground Bash stdout for “streaming” — the tool buffers until exit. |
-| Scripts / CI | Foreground is fine; use `--no-stream` only when you must buffer until exit. |
+| **Pi** (`/rv`) | New panel reviews call the native `pi_review` API tool, shown to users as **Pi Review Panel**, which launches the packaged CLI in event mode and renders live reviewer state. Continuations, kept sessions, `/rv-loop`, and explicit `--no-stream` use the shell CLI. |
+| **Pi terminal** | Foreground `pi-review`; text deltas stream live by default. |
+| **Claude Code / Codex / Cursor** and similar agent hosts | These hosts buffer a shell tool's output until the command exits, so a foreground run looks like a silent wait. **Panel review (`--reviewers`/`--panel`) default: `--ui web --ui-url-file <path>` + background run** — hand the user the printed dashboard URL so they watch live progress in a browser instead of the chat. **Single review / `loop` default: `--progress-log <path>` + background run + tail the log** (`--ui web` requires an active panel and rejects `loop`). See [references/codex-tools.md](./references/codex-tools.md). Map skill mentions of `Bash` to your host shell tool. |
+| Scripts / CI | Foreground is fine; add `--no-stream` only when the caller must buffer until exit (cannot combine with `--progress-log`). |
+
+`--progress-log <path>` tees the raw `--mode json` event stream to a file for outside observation and debugging; it is never a prerequisite for metrics. Token usage accumulates by default, and `pi-review` writes milestone notices (`pi-review: review started`, `pi-review: tool <name> started/finished`, `pi-review: review finished`) to stderr.
+
+`--ui web` starts a loopback-only browser dashboard for panel review; `--ui-url-file <path>` writes its URL atomically so a buffered-output host can read it without parsing stderr. It never substitutes for panel semantics — findings, gate status, and exit code come from the same `PI_REVIEW_META_JSON` as always.
+
+## Run metrics
+
+Quote metrics from the run output; never estimate or invent them.
+
+- **ASCII footer** (the `── pi-review` / `── pi-review panel` block): Duration, Tokens as `in · out · cache · reason` plus total, and Cost — the provider-reported value, or `n/a` when the provider reports none. On Pi `/rv` the panel tool result is **plain text / ASCII only** (Pi does not render markdown in tool results) — same classic chrome as the CLI, no `###` headings or fenced code blocks.
+- **Pi Review Panel**: each reviewer row shows **role persona · lifecycle · model · thinking · elapsed · tokens**. Lifecycle is `queued` / `running` / `completed` / `failed` / `cancelled`. Expanded view adds bounded activity, plain-text findings, and the ASCII footer.
+- Machine output: parse `PI_REVIEW_META_JSON:` from **stderr** (or set `PI_REVIEW_META_STDOUT=1` to emit it on stdout). Show users the plain review text and ASCII footer, not raw JSON, unless they ask for machine output. Do **not** rewrap the tool result into markdown tables or `###` report sections.

+## Pi host (`/rv*`)
 
-- In **Pi interactive** sessions, run `pi-review` with **default streaming only** — do **not** add `--no-stream` or `--progress-log` unless the user explicitly asks.
-- The `/rv` extension injects these rules into the parent agent; ordinary `/rv @path` needs no extra flags.
+Slash commands select **strategy only**. Everything after the command is a **natural-language target**.
 
-## Streaming vs agent hosts (Claude Code / Codex)
+| Command | Strategy |
+|---------|----------|
+| `/rv <natural-language target>` | Panel review via native **Pi Review Panel** (`pi_review` API tool); preset `code-experts` unless `--reviewers`/`--panel` say otherwise |
+| `/rv-loop <natural-language target>` | Loop closeout via shell `pi-review loop`; host fix point `--max-rounds 1` by default |
+| `/rv-models` | Model catalog only |
+| `/rv --continue <handle> [text]` | Continue a kept single-review session |
 
-- `pi-review` always runs the child in `--mode json` internally. In streaming mode it forwards **readable text deltas** to stdout live and writes **semantic milestone notices** (`pi-review: review started`, `pi-review: tool <name> started/finished`, `pi-review: review finished`) to **stderr**. Token usage (`input`/`output`/`cache`/`reasoning`) is accumulated by default — no `--progress-log` required to see it in the ASCII footer or `PI_REVIEW_META_JSON`.
-- `--progress-log <path>` is now an **optional** convenience: it tees the raw `--mode json` event stream to a file for external observation (tail, debugging). It no longer gates token visibility.
-- **Claude Code, Cursor, Codex** and similar hosts still buffer a Bash tool's stdout until the command exits. The semantic milestone notices on stderr + the final Markdown + ASCII footer on stdout give you progress and the result without needing to tail a file. If you still want the full event log for fine-grained debugging, add `--progress-log <path>` and tail it.
-- **Pi interactive** sessions stream text deltas live to the terminal by default — no `--no-stream` or `--progress-log` needed.
+- Pass the user target **as given**. Path mentions like `@src` or `@src/foo.ts` are fine as text. Do **not** expand directories into multi-file lists in the parent agent.
+- Remaining strategy matching lives here and in the CLI: mode defaults (`code` / `plan` / `challenge`), model choice from `pi-review models` + [references/model-selection.md](./references/model-selection.md), panel width, and path-vs-file handling (directories stay tool path targets; only real files are attached).
+- `/rv` needs no streaming flags; the tool owns normalized events, live rendering, and the packaged CLI process. `/rv --reviewers 1` is an explicit non-panel single review and stays on the shell CLI path — never substitute the default panel.

+1. Run `pi-review --reviewers <n> --ui web --ui-url-file <path> -- <target>` (or `--panel <name>`) in the **background**.
+2. Read `<path>` shortly after launch — it is written atomically as soon as the dashboard server is ready, well before reviewers finish (poll a few times a second for a couple of seconds if the file is not there yet). Share that URL with the user immediately: *"Dashboard: `<url>` — open it to watch live per-reviewer progress. I'll report back when the review completes."*
+3. Wait for the background job. On exit, show the Markdown review body and ASCII `── pi-review` footer as usual (skill step 4) — the dashboard is a presentation layer only; findings, gate status, and exit code always come from `PI_REVIEW_META_JSON`.

+1. **Default:** run `pi-review ... --progress-log <path> -- <target>` in the **background** and **tail the log** for user-visible progress (see the tail example below). Stdout still delivers the review Markdown + ASCII footer on exit.
+2. `--progress-log` tees the raw `--mode json` event stream to the chosen file for observation and debugging. It is **not** a prerequisite for metrics: the ASCII footer and `PI_REVIEW_META_JSON` always include `thinking` + token usage (`input`/`output`/`cache`/`reasoning`) when the child session reports them.
+3. `pi-review` also writes semantic milestone notices to stderr (`pi-review: review started`, `pi-review: tool <name> started/finished`, `pi-review: review finished`); they surface once the host flushes output.
+4. After exit, show the Markdown review body and ASCII `── pi-review` footer (skill step 4).

 ### Loop closeout
 
-`loop` composes with the same default streaming + stderr-milestone workflow:
+`loop` composes with the same background + `--progress-log` + tail workflow:
 
 ```bash
-pi-review loop --max-rounds 1 -- @src
-# optional: --progress-log /tmp/pi-review-loop.jsonl for the full event log
+pi-review loop --max-rounds 1 --progress-log /tmp/pi-review-loop.jsonl -- @src
+# CLI default when --max-rounds is omitted: 3; --until clean defaults to a hard cap of 10
 ```
 
 A non-zero command exit is an expected gate result when findings remain. Wait for the process, read the final `PI_REVIEW_META_JSON` / loop summary, let the host fix only accepted in-scope findings, rerun focused proof, and invoke a new loop process. The child review session never edits. Reuse or truncate the progress log deliberately because every loop round appends events to the chosen path.

 ## User-named model
 
-If the user specifies a model, run `pi-review models <fragment>` and use the **exact** listed id. Do not normalize or guess provider prefixes.
+If the user specifies a model, resolve against the catalog instead of inventing an id:
+
+1. Exact `provider/model` match wins.
+2. Bare id / family fragment (`gpt-5.6-sol`, `kimi`, `opus`) may uniquely match one listed id. Prefer the host session's primary provider when the same id exists on multiple providers.
+3. If several unrelated families match, show the top candidates and ask. Do not silently jump from `gpt` to `claude`.
+4. Thinking aliases are allowed: `max`/`最高`/`最高档` → `xhigh`, `高` → `high`, `中` → `medium`, `快`/`off` → `off`. If unsupported by the chosen model, fall back to the nearest supported level.
+5. Inline form `provider/model:thinking` is valid.
+6. **Panel per-reviewer overrides** use the same inline form: `--reviewer-model r1=provider/model:low` (or `reviewerModels: ["r1=..."]` on `pi_review`). The CLI splits the trailing thinking level into its own field so a shared `--thinking high` / preset cannot clobber a per-reviewer `:low`. Prefer this over putting thinking only on the shared flag when reviewers need different levels.
+
+On Pi `/rv*`, short model/thinking tokens are resolved against the live registry before the review starts. On other hosts, run `pi-review models <fragment>` and apply the same rules.
 
 ## Language
 
-Explain your model choice briefly in the **same language** as the user's request (Chinese ↔ English). The review body language is independent; this rule is only for the one-line rationale before/after invoking `pi-review`.
