  ## How work stays controlled
85
94
 
86
- - **One accountable driver, one writer per candidate.** Your current chat
87
- coordinates work; separate worktrees keep PR jobs isolated.
88
- - **Independent review.** Peer PRs receive two independent reviews; authored
89
- changes receive a reviewer selected from the actual author's configured
90
- pairing. Reviews apply to an exact revision, not just a branch name.
91
- - **Visible agent work.** Delegation uses visible Orca orchestration via the `orca` CLI,
92
- not harness-native subagent tools.
93
- - **Explicit boundaries.** Agents work within agreed scope. Missing authority,
94
- unavailable models, and serious risks are surfaced rather than silently
95
- bypassed. The human merges by default.
96
- - **Resumable progress.** Work retains ownership, decisions, and evidence so a
97
- later session can reconcile what happened before continuing.
98
- - **Bounded cleanup.** The driver can retire proven completed subagent resources
99
- inline or from an explicitly scoped backlog without touching active, manual,
100
- uncertain, user-owned, dirty, unpushed, or useful unmerged work.
101
-
102
- Choose an explicit role preset (27 stable role IDs in each):
103
- [mixed](profiles/presets/mixed.json),
104
- [codex-only](profiles/presets/codex-only.json), or
105
- [claude-only](profiles/presets/claude-only.json).
106
- Mixed supports the cross-provider implementation workflow. Single-provider
107
- presets have workflow limitations; they are not automatic fallbacks when a
108
- model is unavailable. See [workflow and routing details](docs/workflows.md).
95
+ - The current chat drives scope, coordination, and publication. Delegation uses
96
+ visible Orca orchestration via the `orca` CLI, not harness-native subagent
97
+ tools. Separate worktrees keep one writer on each candidate.
98
+ - Peer PRs receive two independent reviews. Authored changes receive a reviewer
99
+ selected from the author's configured pairing. Reviews bind to exact revisions.
100
+ - Agents keep accepted decisions and evidence for resume. Missing authority,
101
+ unavailable models, and serious risks surface as holds. The human merges by default.
102
+
103
+ Choose one explicit preset (27 roles each): [mixed](profiles/presets/mixed.json)
104
+ (recommended), [codex-only](profiles/presets/codex-only.json), or
105

  ## Optional PR automation
111
111
 
112
- Manual review and watch work independently of scheduled automation.
113
- For recurring peer review, Axstack defines one optional native Orca review manager.
114
- Own-PR observation and authorized repair remain user-driven through `axstack-watch`. Its chat-run mode can use one optional same-host native Orca observer per Run, about every ten minutes, to report new PR events internally to the original chat. The chat alone directs repairs and publication. Activation needs a live host canary; source and install checks do not prove it is running.
115
-
116
- The review manager uses a 15-minute schedule. Each pass uses a fresh finite
117
- session in one dedicated existing workspace and admits eligible actionable PR events within
118
- measured host capacity. Waiting PRs remain tracked without consuming
119
- execution slots, so a large open-PR backlog does not require an idle agent per PR.
120
- Completed passes save compact continuity and close only their own exact terminal.
121
- Held jobs preserve evidence, use private worktree-local temporary paths, and
122
- release capacity only after native descendant settlement. Uncertain execution
123
- teardown pauses the lane; settled evidence cleanup does not occupy a slot.
124
-
125
- Scheduling is opt-in and requires host-specific runtime validation before
126
- activation. Installing Axstack does not turn it on. The review automation never merges for you.
127
- See [PR-manager setup and safety](skills/axstack/references/automations.md).
112
+ Manual review works without a schedule. Own open PRs in chat-run mode use a
113
+ harness-native monitoring or scheduled wake to resume the driver chat every 10
114
+ minutes; the existing Orca `*/10` observer is fallback only when the harness
115
+ has no such capability. Each wake checks feedback, base, CI, and human approval;
116
+ delegated work still uses Orca. Stop the chosen wake when all watched PRs merge
117
+ or close, the user cancels, or it expires.
118
+
119
+ An optional native Orca review manager handles recurring peer review; the
120
+ review automation never merges for you. Its activation is opt-in and needs
121
+ live host validation. See
122
+ [PR-manager setup and safety](skills/axstack/references/automations.md).
123
+
124
+ ## Some notes
125
+
126
+ - Orca is the only supported active runtime. Axstack adds no daemon or runtime
127
+ database.
128
+ - A human merges by default.
129
+ - This is an early project; expect the workflows to evolve.
