-Orca whose version-matched `orchestration`, `orca-cli`, and `orca-linear`
-guides are available.
+T3 Code `0.0.46-nightly.20261003.2610` or newer. The driver is a T3 thread
+with the `t3-code` MCP. See the [T3 runtime boundary](../skills/axstack/references/t3-runtime.md).
 There are no runtime dependencies. Filesystem access uses Bun-backed `node:fs`
 and `node:fs/promises`; no other Node runtime contract is introduced.
 
+## T3 setup
+
+Set `worktreeCleanup` to `off` for every Axstack project before dispatch;
+Axstack preserves author worktrees and salvages evidence before retirement.
+The driver reads back this setting via `t3_project_read` where exposed, or
+records the setup limitation.
+
+For remote and Android access on the existing tailnet, run:
+
+```sh
+t3 serve --tailscale-serve
+t3 pair
+```
+
+Run `t3 serve --tailscale-serve` as a VPS user service and pair the Android
+app with `t3 pair`. T3 Connect is outside this setup. Service installation,
+network access, and pairing require their own authorized host checks.
+
+Install Antigravity through T3 provider settings using its managed runtime,
+then complete the user's browser sign-in before its canary. T3 uses Google's
+Antigravity ACP agent (`agy_acp_server`); the IDE/`agy` CLI skill paths below
+are separate installer targets and do not configure this managed runtime.
+Antigravity roles receive self-contained briefs; its runtime does not read
+`~/.agents/skills`. A missing runtime, sign-in, or canary holds those roles.
+
+Grok CLI must be >=1.0.13 on desktop and VPS. T3 advertising Grok does not
+prove the CLI runs. Hermes relay remains unchanged: verify native `hermes send`
+and its configured home channel under recorded notification authority.
