 ### 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.
+- **The model is chosen per task, checked after it, and raised when it was not enough.** A call to a `crew-*`
+  agent opens with a card: the files it touches, the kind of change, and the command that proves the work (or
+  `none`). The card gives the work a risk class. **Critical** work runs on `opus`, whatever the agent: a migration,
+  a security or architecture change, a bug of unknown cause, or anything on a critical path (auth, payments,
+  billing, migrations, security, crypto, secrets, `*.sql`, `schema.prisma`). The paths are found in your project
+  with no configuration and listed in `.claude/state/crew-critical-paths.auto`; `.claude/crew-model-rules` adds or
+  removes one if you want to. Work nothing can verify runs on `sonnet` or above, and `haiku` goes only to work a
+  command checks. The referee is as strong as the risk: tests, audits and reviews of critical work are on `opus`,
+  and in normal work an author on Opus no longer pulls its review up to Opus.
+  - **Verified, not declared.** When the agent stops, its verify command is run. Red once: the agent is kept
+    running to fix it. Red again: the task is repeated once, one model up, and the gate refuses the same card on
+    the same or a lower model. Red there too: you are asked. So a model that was too small costs one more run, not
+    broken code that looked finished. The verify command is run by a hook, outside any tool call, so it
+    runs only when you have allowed it by name: a `verify <command>` line in `.claude/crew-model-rules`, or a
+    `Bash(...)` rule of `permissions.allow`. In `auto` and `bypassPermissions`, where Claude Code itself runs a test
+    command you have not allowed, a built-in list of test and build runners is allowed too (`npm test`, `pytest`, `dotnet test`,
+    `flutter test`, `go test`, `cargo test`, `make test` …), with paths or test names as arguments and no options.
+    It is one command, never a commit or a push, not one a `permissions.deny` or `ask` rule covers, and
+    `guard-bash.sh` has to agree. Anything else is not run (`blocked`), and a command that does not finish in nine
+    minutes is stopped with what it started (`timeout`). Neither is taken as a pass or a fail; you or the session run the command instead.
+  - **At write time.** An agent that is not on `opus` cannot write to a critical path, whatever its card said.
+  - **Recorded.** One line per call goes to `.claude/state/model-outcomes.tsv` (it stays in the project). A class
+    of work whose first try fails too often is held one model up from then on; nothing lowers a floor but you.
+  - **`/crew-loosen <agent> <change> <risk>`** lowers such a floor again: one model, once for each time it was
+    raised, and the class is counted afresh from then, so the old failures do not raise it straight back and new
+    ones do. Only a command you type does it, as with `/crew-approve`: a session cannot write the file, schedule
+    the command or hand it to another session, and it is not taken as a session's first message or in a headless
+    one. The card's own rules are not lowered by it: critical work stays on `opus`. Known limit: the shell rule
+    can be passed by a name built from pieces, an interpreter or a parent-folder move; such a write can add a
+    lowering, not only remove one.
+  - `guard-agent-model.sh` holds the rules at the tool level and never rewrites a call; `agent-outcome.sh` runs the
+    verify command and keeps the record. Which kind of change a task is, is the caller's judgement.
+    `CREW_MODEL_ROUTING=off` turns all of it off; `fable` needs `CREW_ALLOW_FABLE=1`.
+  - **Known limits.** Model routing applies to `crew-*` agents only: Explore, general-purpose and a project's own
+    agents run on the session's model and are not in the record (a kit agent for documents is planned for 3.2.0).
+    The gate holds a floor, not a ceiling: nothing stops ordinary work from being given to Opus. Not measured on
+    Windows: Studio under a path that holds a space, and stopping a session from the panel; both were measured on
+    macOS. A test runner runs code the agent wrote (test files, `package.json` scripts, `conftest.py`, a
+    `Makefile`): the list limits the command, not what the tests do. A failed card stays failed until the card
+    changes. The shell rule that protects the routing files goes by their names. The list of critical paths is
+    written at the first session, not at install; the gate reads the patterns, not the list. Managed policy is
+    read from the managed settings file only: a policy delivered by macOS MDM, by the Windows registry or from
+    the server is not read, so a deny rule that exists only there does not stop a verify command. Each agent's report still
+    ends with `confidence: high` or `confidence: low`. `doctor.sh` warns when Claude Code is older than 2.1.293.

 ### Fixed
 
+- **Critical work with a verify command was refused every time where the Agent tool has no `run_in_background`.**
+  The gate asked for the field to be `false`. Where background tasks are off the tool has no such field (measured on
+  Claude Code 2.1.296: the call arrives with description, prompt, subagent_type and model, and runs in the
+  foreground), so the model could not send it and each call was refused, four times in a row in one session. Now
+  only a call that says `run_in_background: true` is refused; one that leaves the field out passes. Where the tool
+  does have the field, a call that leaves it out starts in the background: the session is then told, when the
+  launch comes back, to run the verify command itself once the agent has finished.
+- **Studio: no spool is left behind.** A server that stopped or was killed left its sessions' settings in the temp
+  directory, and they piled up; it removes them as it stops and sweeps when it starts. Two calls in plan mode (a
+  tool lookup, the plan file) no longer come to the dock.
 - **Studio: a card's text stays in the card.** `N in background` could push the session card's line past its edge;

+command wherever one exists: work with `verify: none` cannot go to the cheapest model and is checked by a reader only.
