+## Conditional activation — step-owned admission
+
+A registration may carry a `when` condition. AgentLoop calls `ctx.tools.resolve()` once per proposed step with the captured model selection; the returned set decides that step's tool declarations, executor sections, and every call in its batch, including PTC program subcalls. `ctx.tools.executable()` applies the set at execution and, without one, excludes conditional registrations. A same-name replacement or a new restriction stops unstarted calls from using an admitted registration, and the loop disposes the set once the step's batch settles.

 ## Execution: extensible waterfalls plus monotonic policy
 
-`ctx.tools.execute()` accepts a caller-owned `ToolExecutionInput` with a required readonly `signal`, materializes its parsed JSON arguments once into a pipeline-owned `ToolExecution`, and runs that call through `tools/pre-execute` (the reorderable allow/deny/ask waterfall) → registered monotonic guards → `tools/execute` (around-dispatch wrappers) → `projectContent` → `tools/post-execute` (inspect/replace the result) → optional definition-owned `finalizeContent` → `tools/result` (the immutable authoritative outcome). Only the `tools/execute` view may replace the required signal. The outcome is a `ToolExecutionResult`.
+Built-in executors pass parsed `ToolExecutionInput` values to the shared `ToolExecutionPipeline`. The pipeline owns argument snapshots, execution identities, policy waterfalls, dispatch, and final-result notification, returning one `ToolExecutionResult` per invocation. Custom executors can implement their own execution; the public `ToolExecutor` requires only descriptions and batch execution.

Replay reproduces presentation but cannot reconstruct canonical intermediate values. Optional `ToolErrorInfo.reason` retains raw user-facing detail without adding it to model-facing content. The registry sets `info` from a thrown `HarnessError` (its `name` and `code`), from a pre-execute `deny` that supplies it, and on its own cancellation results (`AbortError` with `ABORTED` or `ABORTED_BEFORE_DISPATCH`); when a started body throws the signal's reason or an `Error` named `AbortError` after cancellation, the result keeps that message and carries `AbortError` with `ABORTED`; a `tools/execute` wrapper may also return a result with `info`, such as the timeout policy's `TOOL_TIMEOUT`. An `ask` that approval does not grant becomes a denial with the name `ApprovalError`, which identifies the registry's denial and is not a thrown class, and `APPROVAL_REJECTED`, `APPROVAL_CANCELLED`, or `APPROVAL_UNAVAILABLE`. A guard denial or post-execute block carries `info` only when it supplies one; any other thrown value produces an `error` without `info`.
 
 On success the registry snapshots and validates the body value, freezes it, and invokes the pure renderer plus the optional presentation metadata projector for native and nested calls. It separately materializes the durable presentation fields immediately before `tools/result`; an invalid value, renderer/projector failure, or non-JSON presentation becomes a JSON-safe `isError`. The final live observer therefore sees the exact execution-local value beside fields safe for the later durable append.

Arguments cannot be rewritten because history, audit, UI, and execution must agree.
 
-Post-policy may replace either content or value, never both.
