 ### Security
 
+- **A session could start another one and hand it the approval.** `claude -p "/crew-approve commit"` starts a session
+  whose only message is the approval; it was recorded there, and that session would then commit and push: the first
+  session had approved for you. Two things changed. The recording hook writes nothing in a headless session
+  (Claude Code marks one with `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ATTENDED=0`, whatever its caller sets), and nothing unless the
+  session's transcript is already on disk, so not at a session's first message and not in a session started inside
+  another, which keeps none; each refusal says why. And `guard-bash.sh` refuses a command that names `claude` (also
+  through `npx`, `bunx` or `node`) when one of its words is an approval, judged by the function that reads your own
+  prompt. An ordinary `claude -p "…"` is untouched. Known limit: a session started with an emptied environment and
+  typed into by a program, for a second message, passes both.
+- **A session could schedule its own approval.** In `auto` and `dontAsk` the approval for a commit or a push is what
+  you type, and the hook that records it reads the prompt Claude Code hands it. A prompt that a tool schedules
+  (`CronCreate`, `ScheduleWakeup`, `RemoteTrigger`, an MCP tool that schedules) is handed to it in the same way when
+  it fires, so a session that scheduled `/crew-approve commit` would have approved its own commit. A new gate,
+  `guard-schedule.sh`, refuses such a call when any text in it is an approval, judged by the one function that reads
+  your own prompt. An ordinary scheduled prompt is untouched.

 ### Added
 
+- **The model is chosen per task.** A table in the rulebook says which model a piece of work goes to, by risk and
+  not by size: `haiku` for mechanical work (a text fix, a rename, running the tests and summarising, a commit
+  message), `sonnet` for ordinary work (a feature, tests, a bug whose cause is known, a refactor, a routine review),
+  `opus` where a mistake is expensive (architecture, a cross-cutting change, a bug of unknown cause, security, auth,
+  payment, a migration, planning). Every call to a `crew-*` agent names its model, and an audit does not run below
+  the model that wrote what it audits. A new gate, `guard-agent-model.sh`, holds two things at the tool level: a
+  `crew-*` call with no model is refused, and so is one below an agent's floor (`crew-security-expert` on `opus`;
+  privacy, review, planner and database on `sonnet` or above). It never rewrites a call; the refusal names the model
+  that is needed. Which model fits the task is the caller's judgement and no gate reads it. Each agent's report
+  ends with `confidence: high` or `confidence: low`; a `low` one is repeated once, one model up, and a second `low`
+  goes to you as a question. `fable` needs `CREW_ALLOW_FABLE=1`; `CREW_MODEL_ROUTING=off` turns the gate off.
+  `doctor.sh` warns when Claude Code is older than 2.1.293.

 - **Studio: full screen keeps its panels.** In full screen the navigator, the inspector and the conversation could
   not be opened, so a selected agent showed nothing and a request under "Needs you" could not be answered. A style
   rule hid every panel there; it is gone, and full screen now only takes the browser away.

-## Model routing (cost calibration)
-**Use a tier ALIAS, not a dated model ID** (`haiku`/`sonnet`/`opus`/`inherit`). An alias resolves automatically to the current tier; when a model is renamed/deprecated, agents do not silently break. Use a full ID (`claude-sonnet-…`) only if pinning to a specific version is required.
+## Model routing (chosen per call)
+The model is chosen **when the agent is called**, by the risk of the task, from the table in `CLAUDE.md`
+(`haiku` mechanical · `sonnet` ordinary · `opus` where a mistake is expensive). The caller passes `model` on every
+`crew-*` call; `hooks/guard-agent-model.sh` refuses a call that names none. So an agent file carries **no `model`
+field** as a rule: a pin in the file would be one answer for every task the agent is given.
