+## Extension controls

+Exclude extensions from child agents without changing which extensions the parent loads:
+
+```bash
+PI_SUBAGENT_EXCLUDE_EXTENSIONS="oira666_pi-free-swarm,@scope/other-package,./local-extension.ts" pi
+```
+
+The originally requested hyphenated name is also supported. Use `env` because most shells cannot assign hyphenated variable names directly:
+
+```bash
+env 'PI-SUBAGENT-EXCLUDE-EXTENSIONS=oira666_pi-free-swarm' pi
+```
+
+Both variables accept comma-separated lists; whitespace and empty entries are ignored, and the two lists are combined. Entries match a package source, package name (including `npm:@scope/name@version`, ignoring the version), or an extension file/directory path. Automatic and settings-listed extension paths use the nearest owning `package.json` after resolving symlinks; loose hooks do not inherit the current workspace's or Pi configuration directory's package name. Relative paths resolve from the worker's working directory; `~/` and symlinks are supported. Commas inside paths are not supported. These variables are inherited by nested workers.
+
+When a list is nonempty, the runner discovers enabled extensions without executing them, then launches the child with `--no-extensions` and explicit paths for every remaining extension, including authentication providers. This covers automatic user/project extensions and forwarded `-e` sources. An original `--no-extensions` still suppresses automatic extensions. Project resources are included only when the parent's live context trusts that working directory; unknown trust fails closed. The same trust decision is passed to the child. With no exclusions, launch behavior is unchanged and no extra discovery runs.
+
+Discovery does not install packages or edit settings. Remote explicit `-e` sources must already be installed in Pi's user package location (or its supported legacy global npm location); temporary-only and project-only remote installs must first be installed there or passed as local paths. If Pi leaves a directory unresolved, pass its entry-point file explicitly so file exclusions cannot be bypassed by directory loading. Missing or invalid sources fail the launch rather than falling back to unfiltered loading. Pi's offline mode skips missing automatic packages, as usual. Filtering controls extension entry points, not code imported by an allowed extension, and the allowlist is a launch-time snapshot until the next delegation.
+
+Disable this entire extension, including its tools, commands, flags, providers, and event handlers:
+
+```bash
+PI_SUBAGENT_DISABLED=1 pi
+```
+
+`true` (case-insensitive) also disables it; `PI-SUBAGENT-DISABLED` is an equivalent alias. Other values leave it enabled. The setting applies to the current process and is inherited by children. It is separate from child-extension exclusions, which do not disable anything in the parent. Restart Pi or reload extensions after changing the process environment.

 - `enabled` must be `true`. Missing settings, disabled settings, or an empty model list leave existing behavior unchanged and make no Jev requests.
 - `model` selects the decision model, not the worker model. `jev` maps to TypeSafe's `jev-latest`; explicit TypeSafe model IDs also work.
+- `provider_url` is the provider base URL, defaulting to `https://api.typesafe.ai`. For a local compatible server, use `http://localhost:8765`. The extension appends `/v1/systemone`; trailing slashes are ignored. Use an HTTP or HTTPS URL without credentials, query parameters, or a fragment.
 - `api_key` is your TypeSafe API key. Worker providers still need their own Pi credentials.
 - `fallback` defaults to `true`. When a loaded `smart-decision` object omits it, the extension adds `"fallback": true` and saves that configuration file at runtime. Existing values, including `false`, are left untouched. Untrusted project files are never changed. If saving fails, a warning is emitted and the runtime default still applies. If selection fails, a short warning is written and the worker uses the original launch settings. Set it to `false` to return a tool error without launching the affected worker. This covers network errors, the 10-second request timeout, API errors, invalid answers, and invalid enabled configuration. Cancellation cancels the task instead of falling back.
 
-Each fresh launch and actual resume sends the agent definition's system prompt, the assigned task, and the candidate descriptions to `https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone`.

+Each fresh launch and actual resume sends the agent definition's system prompt, the assigned task, and the candidate descriptions to `<provider_url>/v1/systemone`. Jev must select a configured candidate. When a task refers to a separate task-description or handoff file whose contents were not supplied, Jev is instructed to assume higher complexity and prefer a more capable model or higher reasoning level. It does not read that file. Mentioning a source filename alone does not trigger this guidance. Its provider, model, and thinking level override the parent model and agent frontmatter for that run. The parent's explicit `--provider` and `--api-key` are not forwarded when a Jev choice is applied. Startup retries reuse the choice. Finished results reused without launching a process make no request.
 
 Configuration uses the same trust checks and file order as tool descriptions. A later `smart-decision` section replaces the entire earlier section, rather than merging credentials or choices. Reload Pi after editing settings. Nested workers load configuration through the same rules.
