+### `claude_agent_required` boundary
+
+A Python helper cannot spawn Claude Code Agent-tool subagents. On a **Claude**
+host, when the claude headless tier is **not** enabled (`--enable-claude-tier`
+absent / `is_claude_tier_enabled=False`), a grok fallthrough records tier 2 with
+reason `claude_agent_required`, leaves `tier_used` null, and returns. The
+calling skill must then run the Agent tool in-process.
+
+On a **ThirdParty** host, or when the claude tier is enabled on a Claude host,
+the dispatcher continues to tier 3.
+
+## Tier-1 fleets via grok-spawn
+
+For a fleet of tier-1 grok workers (batch spec in, reports out), use the
+**grok-spawn** skill when that skill is installed on the host (it ships on a
+sibling stack and is not part of this dispatcher page). When present, that
+skill owns the batch playbook and flag profiles under its reference docs.
+This page stays the single-worker dispatcher contract (`resolve_worker_spawn`).
+
+The calling session owns verification and every commit, push, or GitHub post.
+Workers never commit or post.
+
+## Required inputs
+
+### CLI
+
+```
+python resolve_worker_spawn.py \
+  --role <role> \
+  --prompt-file <path> \
+  --cwd <dir> \
+  --run-temp-dir <dir> \
+  [--timeout-seconds N] \
+  [--enable-claude-tier]
+```
+
+| Flag | Required | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--role` | no (default `bugteam`) | Role name for preflight agent-set checks; mapped to the primary agent stem for headless `--agent` (for example `bugteam` → `code-quality-agent`, `clean-coder` → `clean-coder`; unknown roles fall back to the raw role string) |
+| `--prompt-file` | yes | Prompt file path for headless workers |
+| `--cwd` | yes | Working directory for headless grok and claude workers |
+| `--run-temp-dir` | yes | Run-scoped directory for leader sockets and preflight cache (created if missing) |
+| `--timeout-seconds` | no (default `600`) | Per-tier timeout in seconds |
+| `--enable-claude-tier` | no | Allow tier 3 on a Claude host |
+
+There is no separate outcome-file flag. The result surface is **stdout JSON**
+plus the process exit code.
+
+### Import API
+
+`resolve_worker_spawn(...)` takes keyword-only arguments:
+`role`, `prompt_file`, `working_directory`, `timeout_seconds`,
+`is_claude_tier_enabled`, `run_state_directory`, `max_turns`.
+`encode_spawn_outcome` turns a `SpawnOutcome` into the same JSON shape the CLI
+prints.
+
+## JSON result shape
+
+Stdout is one JSON object:
+
+```json
+{
+  "tier_used": 1,
+  "ok": true,
+  "attempts": [
+    {"tier": 1, "ok": true, "reason": null}
+  ],
+  "output": "<serving tier stdout>",
+  "returncode": 0
+}
+```
+
+| Key | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `tier_used` | Serving tier number (`1` or `3`), or `null` when no tier served |
+| `ok` | Whether the serving call completed successfully |
+| `attempts` | Ordered list of tries: each `{tier, ok, reason}` |
+| `output` | Captured stdout from the serving tier (empty when none) |
+| `returncode` | Process return code from the last tier run (or config-error code) |
+
+`attempts` is in tried order. A Claude-host stop records tier `2` with
+`reason: "claude_agent_required"`. Preflight or grok fallthrough reasons use the
+preflight/runner classification strings (for example `grok_binary_missing`,
+`usage_limit`).
+
+### Exit codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `0` | A tier served (`tier_used` is not null) |
+| `2` | Exhausted — no tier served |
+| `3` | Config error: the `--prompt-file` path is not an existing file (`output` = `prompt_file_missing`) or claude chain configuration missing or invalid |
+
+## Host detection
+
+After a grok fallthrough the dispatcher calls `detect_host_profile()` from
+`tier_model_ids` (advisor scripts). Detection order:
+
+1. `ADVISOR_HOST_PROFILE` when set — must be `Claude` or `ThirdParty` (any letter case).
+2. `THIRD_PARTY` when truthy — `1`, `true`, `yes`, or `on`.
+3. Default: `Claude`.
+
+Profiles are the real names `Claude` and `ThirdParty` (not a separate Grok host
+profile). Grok is tier 1 on every host; host profile only chooses the post-grok
+branch (Agent-tool handoff vs headless claude chain).
+
+## Code-review host routing
+
+Claude-only slash steps need a Claude Code harness. The built-in
+`/code-review` command is the main case. The host-routing pair is:
+
+- `detect_host_profile()` from `tier_model_ids` — same host detection as the
+  worker-spawn dispatcher above
+- `invoke_code_review` — host-aware invoker for `/code-review` (lives next to
+  `resolve_worker_spawn` under the package scripts tree)
+
+Mode decision:
+
+| Host profile | Session model | Mode | Who runs `/code-review` |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `Claude` | `opus` | `in_session` | The calling skill runs the slash command in-process |
+| `Claude` | any other alias | `chain` | Headless spawn through `claude_chain_runner` |
+| `ThirdParty` | any | `chain` | Headless spawn through `claude_chain_runner` |
+
+The review always runs at effort **high** on model **opus**. Chain mode builds
+a single-turn prompt `/code-review high --fix`, pins `--model opus`, sets
+subprocess `cwd` to the PR working tree, and reads stdin from the empty stream
+so the spawn does not wait for input.
+
+After a chain run, a non-empty `git status --porcelain` means the review
+applied fixes. The calling host commits and pushes those fixes per the fix
+protocol. The chain process never commits or posts. A clean stamp requires
+`returncode == 0` and a non-null `served_command` plus a clean tree —
+`dirty_tree` false alone is not enough when the chain failed or never served.
+
+GitHub transport (`pr-loop-cloud-transport`) is a separate axis from this
+harness branch. That skill routes `gh` vs MCP; it does not change which host
+can run Claude-only slash commands.
+
+## Leader-socket rule
+
+Every concurrent grok process gets its own `--leader-socket` path under the
+caller-supplied run temp directory. The headless runner mints a unique
+`grok-leader-<uuid>.sock` per invocation. Preflight auth and ping probes use
+their own fixed socket filenames under the same directory so they never share a
+socket with a live worker.
+
+## Cloud setup
+
+Unattended grok auth uses the `XAI_API_KEY` environment variable. Install the
+CLI via the vendor curl installer or the `@xai-official/grok` package. Keep
+agent definitions and hook config in parity with `npx claude-dev-env` so the
+preflight role-agent check and local `~/.claude` layout match what the worker
+expects.
+
+Use placeholders for account-specific values; do not hardcode personal paths or
+keys in skills or docs.
+
+## GitHub transport
+
+`pr-loop-cloud-transport` is a separate axis. This utility never posts reviews,
+opens PRs, or substitutes `gh` for MCP. GitHub reachability and cloud session
+routing stay outside the worker-spawn contract.
