+# Pi adapter for the pinned pstack source
+
+The behavior source is the `vendor/upstream/0.15.36/pstack/` snapshot at `c742dd61706fbacc1b95f1a20b7b988cf096ce6c`. Generated supported Skill/playbook entrypoints retain the upstream Markdown after this Pi prelude. The eleven core workflows have critical-rule mappings; preserving a source body does not prove that a model followed it. The full source inventory is pinned separately; maintainer semantic sign-off remains pending.
+
+Apply user instructions and repository authority first. Read referenced source Markdown through `pstack_skill` with `upstream/skills/<skill>/...` resource IDs, consuming every page. Statechart's 0.15.36 TypeScript runtime and its test corpus are bundled under `skills/statechart/scripts`; the older 0.15.32 `.mjs` tools are retained for compatibility. Java/TLC and optional renderers are external dependencies. Other Cursor plugins, private APIs, drivers and cloud resources are not supplied.
+
+For Statechart execution, run `node <skill-dir>/../../dist/statechart/statechart.js SPEC.tla [--config FILE] [--view FILE] [--out DIR]`. This compiled copy is required in installed packages because Node does not strip TypeScript inside `node_modules`. The upstream source and test corpus remain unchanged.
+
+## Platform substitutions
+
+- Task workers use `pstack_agents` and `pstack_workflow` Pi AgentSessions. The parent owns the playbook. Parallel writers use Git worktrees; integrated delivery uses an explicit integrator and verification. These are local processes, not cloud VMs or OS sandboxes.
+- `/setup-pstack` previews model roles and suggested panels using models visible in the current Pi session; edit only what needs changing. Existing choices are preserved. Panels with the same model in several seats do not provide model diversity. Model roles use `models.json`; pass the playbook and, for named roles such as Reflect's `tooling`, `judgment`, `divergent`, and `synthesizer`, `modelRole` when dispatching. Explicit node models take precedence.
+- Pi `thinkingLevel` replaces Cursor's reasoning slug conventions. Optional same-family fallback chooses a registered model from the same provider and reports it; a supported lower reasoning level may be used and reported. Unknown families are not guessed, Cursor `-fast` aliases are not rewritten, and authentication/inference failures are not automatically retried.
+- For an unconfigured panel, plans suggest available Pi models and disclose repeated seats. Unresolvable configured seats are dropped or replaced with an available survivor or the parent, with notes. A known-family parent gets a judge only from another recognized family; if none is available, the plan produces candidates only and the coordinator must inspect, choose, integrate and verify them. A failed or unaccepted candidate is excluded only after the other candidates settle; verified survivors remain eligible and the dropout is recorded.
+- Arena's cross-judge uses confined `pstack_candidates` access to verified worktrees. The integrator independently reads and compares candidates before selecting and grafting. Architect's template includes a separate implementation phase after the selected sketch; the coordinator still owns upstream grounding (`how`/`why`) and optional checkpoints.
+- Interrogate creates a worktree for each adversary, copies the reviewed staged, unstaged and untracked changes, and runs a separate repro-verifier on each worktree. No adversary changes are integrated. Both sessions must report command, observed and expected output; synthesis can only carry reproductions present in a verifier report. These sessions use Pi's ordinary writable-agent shell permissions; the verification-policy allowlist controls native gate commands, not their interactive shell. Model reports are not independently attested receipts: the coordinator must inspect actual command evidence and the effect of any repro edits before claiming a finding is verified.
+- Swarm supports partition, best-of, first-pass and rank-all race templates. First-pass waits for a candidate's deterministic acceptance, requests cooperative cancellation of the remaining sessions, and waits for them to settle. Rank-all reports every rank without automatically integrating a winner. Mixed partition/race still needs an explicit DAG.
+- Custom Mode maps to sticky `/poteto-mode`. `/loop` maps to `/pstack-loop`, which requires an active Pi host and cannot promise cloud-root scheduling or exact delivery across a crash.
+- Use an available named CLI/UI driver for real-surface proof. Without one, return blocked or inconclusive with the exact reason; unit tests, fake providers and worker reports cannot replace a live lane.
+
+## Explicit policy deviations
+
+- Native exact-head/base ledgers invalidate verification when either changes, including patch-preserving restacks; upstream can reuse some patch-ID-stable verdicts.
+- Read-only reviewer, scout and verifier sessions inspect confined source and evidence but cannot run shell commands or live MCP. Deterministic commands run in an authorized runner or writable lane. For external investigation, the parent supplies evidence snapshots and verifies decisive citations.
+- Autopilot templates prepare local DAG artifacts. The coordinator remains responsible for the owner lifecycle, early PRs, periodic audit, rebase discipline, countersigns and stop propagation. A stack template alone does not deliver a remote PR stack. Babysit stops at merge-ready; shipping and remote writes require the actual applicable authorization.
+- Opening a PR does not start a babysit. Finish the phase or stack before a requested babysit unless an explicitly assigned full-autonomy owner owns the loop and has reported code-ready. Babysit stops before merge; operator-reserved items never merge automatically.
+
+## Unsupported operations
+
+`Cursor-private-PR-provenance`, `Cursor-watch-READY`, `Cursor-cleanup-plugin` and `Bugbot-pass-dismissal` are unsupported. GitHub/Origin and native states are alternatives with their own evidence boundaries, not proof that a Cursor operation ran. `make-bot-ui` and the Cursor automation event pack require Cursor-specific surfaces. Report these limitations rather than marking unavailable operations complete.
+
+## Evidence boundary
+
+`SEMANTICS.json` records selected critical-rule mappings, exact source lines, deviations, bound tests and file fingerprints. Inventory counts, source hashes, deterministic checks, Pi SDK/fake-provider tests, real-model runs and maintainer semantic review are separate evidence levels. Advancing the source pin and passing CI do not establish complete Cursor/Pi equivalence or maintainer approval.

+## Pinned upstream instructions
+
+Source: cursor/plugins@c742dd61706fbacc1b95f1a20b7b988cf096ce6c, pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/feature.md. The following body is retained verbatim.
+
+## Steps
+
+### Feature
+
+**You own the design. Plan, review, verify.** Delegate implementation. Stay in the lead.
+
+1. `how` over the affected subsystem.
+2. `architect` for parallel design exploration.
+3. Write the throughput checkpoint as four todo items. A dimension that genuinely does not apply (single file, no fan-out) keeps its item with `n/a: <reason>` rather than being dropped:
+   - **Blocking first steps.** Gates run before fan-out.
+   - **Independent workstreams.** Disjoint files, services, or layers parallelize. Shared writes serialize.
+   - **Shared mutable state.** Default to splitting the target (the **separate-before-serializing-shared-state** principle skill). Serialize only for real invariants.
+   - **Smallest safe decomposition.** If one worker is best, name why.
+4. Delegate code-writing to a subagent using your configured feature model (default `grok-4.7-xhigh-fast`) with a specific scope (file paths, named data shape and its organizing structure per **principle-model-the-domain**, a state machine over scattered booleans, a table/registry over branching, a typed model over repeated shape assumptions, chosen before the delegate writes logic, and success criteria). Pick each subagent's reasoning level and fast or standard speed for the job, per the Subagents section. When the implementation admits multiple valid shapes (error handling, abstraction layer, test structure), delegate via the **arena** skill instead so the runners surface the alternatives and the cross-judge guards the pick. Mandatory: no skip-with-reason escape, and Laziness Protocol does not override it (the gain is review separation, not lines saved). A subagent forbidden to spawn satisfies this by owning the diff directly with the same review separation. No "standing by" reply that waits on a nested agent. Comments per **Comments**. Surgical edits, re-ground against the source for upstream-derived files. Port shared-primitive improvements to all consumers and verify each. Commit liberally.
+5. Verify on the matching surface. "Inconclusive" or wrong-surface is not a pass. Flag it.
+6. Rebase into small, ordered commits. Stack follow-ups.
+   Use the **sequence-verifiable-units** principle skill, building, verifying, and committing each small unit before the next.
+7. If the design is contested, `interrogate` before shipping.
+8. Run **Opening a PR**.
+
+Code-coupled work (one feature, one migration) goes to a single owner with the checkpoint inline. That owner fans out internally after the blocking phase. Parent-level fan-out is for slices that produce independent artifacts (audits, cross-subsystem investigations, competing experiments). Rewrite the checkpoint at phase boundaries. Spawn a fresh owner rather than chaining interrupts.
+
+**Reply:** what you built, what you chose and why, the throughput checkpoint, open decisions. Tables for design alternatives.
+
+
+## Pi execution tools
+
+Use `pstack_agents` for one child and `pstack_workflow` / `pstack_graph` for an explicit DAG. Roles are `architect`, `worker`, `reviewer`, `verifier`, `synthesizer` and `integrator`. Parallel writers use isolated worktrees, then an integrator. A verifier directly depends on the artifact owner. Inspect workflow status on recovery; completed nodes are not replayed. Check remote state before retrying external effects. `pstack_worktrees` cleans only owned clean worktrees.

+Source: cursor/plugins@c742dd61706fbacc1b95f1a20b7b988cf096ce6c, pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/hillclimb.md. The following body is retained verbatim.
+
+## Steps
+
+### Hillclimb
+
+**You own the metric and the experiment's integrity. Supervise and review. Delegate the attempts.** For sustained, iterative improvement of one measurable thing against a target. A one-off fix is Bug fix or Perf issue. This is the loop.
+
+Core discipline: one change, one measurement, keep or revert. Never stack untested changes, and never claim a win from code inspection (the **prove-it-works** principle skill).
+
+1. Ground the workload and architecture before choosing the metric. Run the **how** skill over the target, name the realistic workload dimensions that can move the result (data size, history, state, concurrency), and select a case that reproduces the user's complaint. If no case reproduces it, fix the repro instead of hillclimbing. Then fix one metric, the direction that counts as better, and a checkable stop predicate that pairs a target with a floor on attempts so a lucky early win can't end the run (the example "at least 50% better than baseline and at least 10 iterations" is this shape). Use the user's numbers when given, otherwise agree them.
+2. Build the measurement harness, prove its sensitivity, then freeze it (the **build-the-lever** principle skill). Run contrasting realistic workloads and confirm the target case reproduces the symptom while easier cases separate as expected. If the harness cannot distinguish them, revise the workload or metric. Vet the harness with the **benchmark-checklist** skill before you freeze it, and make it print its error count and a count of the work done. Once frozen, one repeatable command emits the metric, sampled enough to clear the noise (median of N, not a single run). Record the baseline metric and a green run of the regression gate (the tests that must keep passing) before any change.
+3. Open the decision log via the **show-me-your-work** skill. A `decision.tsv`, one row per attempt: id, hypothesis, change, before, after, delta, tests, verdict (kept or reverted), note. Read it before each attempt. Keep it out of the tree (gitignored).
+4. Ground each hypothesis in the architecture model from step 1, so it names a specific mechanism ("defer X off the boot path because it blocks first paint"), not "try memoizing something". For a perf metric, order hypotheses by the performance mantras in step 2 of the Perf issue playbook (`playbooks/perf-issue.md`). Borrow only their order, not that step's stop rule.
+5. Loop, one hypothesis per iteration:
+   - Hand the change to a subagent using your configured hillclimb model (default `grok-4.7-xhigh-fast`) with a tight scope. Pick each subagent's reasoning level and fast or standard speed for the job, per the Subagents section. Supervise and review the diff rather than typing it (the **guard-the-context-window** principle skill). When several independent hypotheses are live, fan them to parallel subagents, each in its own worktree (the **separate-before-serializing-shared-state** principle skill).
+   - Measure before and after with the frozen harness, and run the regression gate.
+   - Accept only when the metric moves past noise and the gate stays green. Otherwise revert the change in full. A tweak that "might help" is not kept.
+   - One commit per accepted fix, staging only the files you changed (`git add <files>`, never `-A`). Log the row either way, kept or reverted.
+   Each iteration ends in a check before the next begins (the **sequence-verifiable-units** principle skill). If the run is unattended, borrow only the wake mechanism from the Autonomous run playbook (`playbooks/autonomous-run.md`), not its stop rule.
+6. Push past the first plateau. On a stall, several rejects in a row, pivot category, combine near-misses, re-read the source, or try something more radical before concluding the hill is climbed. Correctness and simplicity outrank the number. Revert a win that breaks behavior, and keep a simplification that holds the number (the **laziness-protocol** principle skill).
+7. Stop when the predicate is met, or when the remaining ideas are marginal and not worth their cost. Don't relax the predicate to meet it, and don't quit while cheap untried hypotheses remain. If you are stuck, surface it instead of spinning.
+8. Run **Opening a PR** with the accepted commits stacked in the order they landed.
+
+**Reply:** the metric and target, baseline to final with the percent delta, iterations run (kept vs reverted), each accepted fix on one line, the `decision.tsv` path, and the best idea you would try next if pushed further.
+
+
+## Pi execution tools
+
+Use `pstack_agents` for one child and `pstack_workflow` / `pstack_graph` for an explicit DAG. Roles are `architect`, `worker`, `reviewer`, `verifier`, `synthesizer` and `integrator`. Parallel writers use isolated worktrees, then an integrator. A verifier directly depends on the artifact owner. Inspect workflow status on recovery; completed nodes are not replayed.

+### Investigation
+
+**You own the answer. Plan, route, write.**
+
+Investigation requests are read-only. They produce a cited explanation or a recommendation, not a code change.
+
+1. Route through the **how** skill. For motivation questions, also route through the **why** skill.
+2. Throughput checkpoint stays one line: `throughput checkpoint: n/a, read-only investigation`.
+3. Produce the `how`-shaped output (Overview / Key Concepts / How It Works / Where Things Live / Gotchas), or a recommendation with a tradeoffs table if the request is a decision between alternatives.
+4. Apply the **unslop** skill to the reply.
+
+No PR, no babysit, no `architect` unless the investigation precedes a code change. If it does, hand back to the user and re-route to Bug fix or Feature.
+
+**Reply:** the investigation output. For "are we sure?" answers, include your real judgment with reasons. Push back if the premise is wrong (see Autonomy).

+- Arena's cross-judge uses confined `pstack_candidates` access to verified worktrees. The integrator independently reads and compares candidates before selecting and grafting. Architect's template includes a separate implementation phase after the selected sketch; the coordinator still owns upstream grounding (`how`/`why`) and optional checkpoints.
+- Interrogate creates a worktree for each adversary, copies the reviewed staged, unstaged and untracked changes, and runs a separate repro-verifier on each worktree. No adversary changes are integrated. Both sessions must report command, observed and expected output; synthesis can only carry reproductions present in a verifier report. These sessions use Pi's ordinary writable-agent shell permissions; the verification-policy allowlist controls native gate commands, not their interactive shell. Model reports are not independently attested receipts: the coordinator must inspect actual command evidence and the effect of any repro edits before claiming a finding is verified.
+- Swarm supports partition, best-of, first-pass and rank-all race templates. First-pass waits for a candidate's deterministic acceptance, requests cooperative cancellation of the remaining sessions, and waits for them to settle. Rank-all reports every rank without automatically integrating a winner. Mixed partition/race still needs an explicit DAG.
+- Custom Mode maps to sticky `/poteto-mode`. `/loop` maps to `/pstack-loop`, which requires an active Pi host and cannot promise cloud-root scheduling or exact delivery across a crash.
+- Use an available named CLI/UI driver for real-surface proof. Without one, return blocked or inconclusive with the exact reason; unit tests, fake providers and worker reports cannot replace a live lane.
+
+## Explicit policy deviations
+
+- Native exact-head/base ledgers invalidate verification when either changes, including patch-preserving restacks; upstream can reuse some patch-ID-stable verdicts.
+- Read-only reviewer, scout and verifier sessions inspect confined source and evidence but cannot run shell commands or live MCP. Deterministic commands run in an authorized runner or writable lane. For external investigation, the parent supplies evidence snapshots and verifies decisive citations.
+- Autopilot templates prepare local DAG artifacts. The coordinator remains responsible for the owner lifecycle, early PRs, periodic audit, rebase discipline, countersigns and stop propagation. A stack template alone does not deliver a remote PR stack. Babysit stops at merge-ready; shipping and remote writes require the actual applicable authorization.
+- Opening a PR does not start a babysit. Finish the phase or stack before a requested babysit unless an explicitly assigned full-autonomy owner owns the loop and has reported code-ready. Babysit stops before merge; operator-reserved items never merge automatically.
+
+## Unsupported operations
+
+`Cursor-private-PR-provenance`, `Cursor-watch-READY`, `Cursor-cleanup-plugin` and `Bugbot-pass-dismissal` are unsupported. GitHub/Origin and native states are alternatives with their own evidence boundaries, not proof that a Cursor operation ran. `make-bot-ui` and the Cursor automation event pack require Cursor-specific surfaces. Report these limitations rather than marking unavailable operations complete.
+
+## Evidence boundary
+
+`SEMANTICS.json` records selected critical-rule mappings, exact source lines, deviations, bound tests and file fingerprints. Inventory counts, source hashes, deterministic checks, Pi SDK/fake-provider tests, real-model runs and maintainer semantic review are separate evidence levels. Advancing the source pin and passing CI do not establish complete Cursor/Pi equivalence or maintainer approval.

+
+## Steps
+
+### Multi-phase or multi-PR plan
+
+**You own the plan, not the code. The plan is a checklist an owner runs box by box and the operator audits from the evidence.** The plan is the deliverable. Do not implement.
+
+1. When the change is one or two files with an obvious approach, skip the plan. Say so and stop.
+2. Settle open questions by prototype before you write. Run `playbooks/prototype.md` for each. Keep the branch, the SHA, and the screenshots for Appendix A. Ask the operator only about a product or preference call that no run can settle. Give options (the **never-block-on-the-human** principle skill).
+3. Explore in subagents with `subagent_type: "poteto-agent"` and an explicit model per the Subagents section (the **guard-the-context-window** principle skill). Pick each subagent's reasoning level and fast or standard speed for the job, per the Subagents section. Each returns file pointers, conventions, test commands, and entry points. No inlined dumps.
+4. Copy the skeleton below into the plan file and fill every placeholder. Unless the operator names a path, write the file under the agent store's `docs/`. Keep every heading and every sub-block in the order shown. One section per PR. One PR is one change with its own evidence (the **sequence-verifiable-units** principle skill). Name the execution playbook in **How to read this**. Pick `playbooks/autopilot-full.md` when the run may merge. Pick `playbooks/autopilot-stack.md` when the operator lands the PRs. A standing program takes `playbooks/orchestrate.md`.
+5. Write under `/technical-writing` in full, then `/unslop`. The body is one Diátaxis mode, how-to. Appendices hold explanation and reference. Each heading states the task or the finding. No long dashes. No mid-sentence colons.
+6. Run `node pstack/skills/poteto-mode/scripts/check-plan.mjs <plan.md>` and fix every line it prints (the **encode-lessons-in-structure** principle skill).
+7. Hand back. Post the plan path and the script's output, then stop. Execution starts on the operator's explicit go, under the execution playbook the plan names.
+
+**Verification.** Tests alone are not sufficient verification. A PR is verified only when its unit, live, and perf boxes are all checked (the **prove-it-works** principle skill). That sentence is the verification rule. Every verification block opens with it. The live block is mandatory. Ten lanes at the PR head drive the real surface through its control skill, per the **swarm** skill, on the `swarm workers` model (default `grok-4.7-xhigh-fast`). Each lane is one box with a concrete scenario, the screenshot it saves, and its pass predicate. One lane is the **Regression lane against trunk.** It runs the same load-bearing scenario on trunk and head. If trunk does not have the feature, the lane records that fact and gates the behavior the diff adds plus the end state the user waits for instead of inventing a trunk result. The perf gate is dual-sided. Trunk and head must both produce the named metric. If trunk lacks the feature, also isolate the work the diff adds and set an absolute budget for that work plus the end-to-end state the user waits for. Do not claim a ratio between unlike scenarios. The perf block names the metric, the interleaved probe, the trunk baseline measured first, and the rule with the number that fails. A PR that changes an interaction is review-gated. The operator reviews it in chat with screenshots and a video before merge. A PR that changes no interaction writes `**Review gate.** None. <PR id> is not review-gated.` and no boxes under it.
+
+**Control skill.** Pick it by surface. Browser, Electron, and web UIs use `control-ui` from `cursor-team-kit`. CLIs and TUIs use `control-cli` from `cursor-team-kit`. Native mobile uses whatever simulator-driving skill the repo has. A PR that touches two surfaces gets lanes on both. A surface with no control skill is a risk in Appendix C, and its live block still names how each lane drives it.

+
+<Under ten lines. What changes, for whom, the rule the program enforces, and the PR ids in order.>
+
+## How to read this
+
+One box is one unit of work. Every box names the evidence that checks it. A nested box is a sub-step of the box above it. Check a box only when its evidence exists, a file, a log line, a screenshot, a test run, or a SHA. The body is a how-to. The appendices explain and record.
+
+The program runs `pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/<execution playbook>.md`. <Who merges, and which PR ids are the operator's items that stop at merge-ready.>
+
+Tests alone are not sufficient verification. A PR is verified only when its unit, live, and perf boxes are all checked.
+
+## Program checklist
+
+### Arm the program
+
+- [ ] State the protocol and this plan to the operator, then stop. Start execution only on the operator's explicit go.
+- [ ] Read these from trunk at program start. Re-read them at every tick.
+  - [ ] `git show origin/main:pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/<execution playbook>.md`
+  - [ ] `git show origin/main:pstack/skills/swarm/SKILL.md`
+  - [ ] `git show origin/main:<control skill path>`
+  - [ ] `git show origin/main:pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md`
+  - [ ] `git show origin/main:pstack/skills/<each other leaf skill the program uses>`
+- [ ] On the operator's go, arm the audit tick as `/loop 1h` with the tick prompt below. Never leave the cadence to memory.
+- [ ] Use this tick prompt, verbatim. "Re-read the execution playbook from trunk. Audit the operation against it and fix drift in this tick. Probe every active lane and judge progress by side effects only. Stand down a stuck lane and dispatch its replacement now. Then post a short status message to the operator in chat only when the audit found a tracked change that no earlier status message reported, such as a PR opened, a code-ready head, a round launched or closed, a verdict, a merge, a stuck agent and the action taken, a blocker added or cleared, or a decision only the operator can make. Name every such change and nothing else. Do not repeat a table, the merged list, or an unchanged blocker. If the audit found none, end the turn with no reply text. Either way, log this tick's row in your decision trail. The row names the items reported, or none."
+- [ ] On the operator's hold or stand-down, send every owner a zero-writes order at once.
+
+### Spawn owners
+
+- [ ] Spawn one owner per PR with the full lifecycle the execution playbook names.
+- [ ] Follow this dependency graph. Start dependent work only after its parent merges, or base it on the parent branch when the execution playbook stacks.
+  - [ ] <PR id> and <PR id> are independent and first. Both branch from `main`.
+  - [ ] <PR id> after <PR id>.
+- [ ] Hold the file boundaries. <PR id or class> touches only `<glob>`.
+- [ ] Hold the review gate. <PR ids> change an interaction. They wait for the operator's review in chat with screenshots and a video before merge.
+
+### PR mechanics, for every PR
+
+- [ ] Resolve the forge once. Default to `gh`; if `command -v origin` succeeds and Origin can resolve the repository, use `origin pr` for every PR operation. Record any fallback to `gh`. Never require `gt`.
+- [ ] Open the PR ready, never draft, per **Opening a PR**. Use the run's built-in PR tool when it has one, else `origin pr create --status open --base <base-branch>` or `gh pr create --base <base-branch>` according to the resolved forge. A stack child targets its parent branch.
+- [ ] Run the repo's lint and typecheck once before the PR-facing push. Push with hooks on.
+- [ ] Run `/deslop` before each commit and `/no-comments` before review.
+- [ ] Triage every Bugbot and security-reviewer comment per `../references/bugbot-triage.md`.
+- [ ] Rebase onto current trunk before the code-ready report and babysit. Keep that merge base in fix rounds. Rebase again only at merge prep, on a `git merge-tree` conflict with trunk, on a CI failure that comes from a change on trunk, or when a known concurrent change to the same files lands.
+
+### Verdict and merge, for every PR
+
+- [ ] A full swarm runs once, at the code-ready head. Another full swarm runs only for new behavior, a redesign, or a large new diff. A rebase, a merge-conflict resolution, or a minor fix gets a single verifier at the new head, and a wording-only change gets none. Run each full swarm per `pstack/skills/swarm/SKILL.md`. One gates lane. The ten live lanes from the PR's **Verify, live** block. The perf lane from its **Verify, perf** block. Two or more audit lanes, each with its own focus, that read the diff and the receipts and distrust the PR body. The root audits the receipts in the merge-ready report before the verdict.
+- [ ] Judge every finding by the execution playbook's blocking rule. The verdict is clean when none blocks. A failure on trunk behavior in a lane marked `Regression lane against trunk.` is recorded against trunk and does not block the PR. A new head gets a fresh verdict, except for results that stay valid under the patch-id rule in `playbooks/shipping.md`.
+- [ ] <The merge or handoff rule from the execution playbook, with the patch-id rule from `playbooks/shipping.md`.>
+
+### Boot recipe, for every live lane
+
+Each live lane runs on its own cloud VM at the PR head. Drive through `control-ui` or `control-cli` from `cursor-team-kit`.
+
+- [ ] `git fetch origin <head-branch> && git checkout <head SHA>`.
+- [ ] <Start the backend and the surface. Wait for ready.>
+- [ ] <Deliver input only through the control skill's commands. Name the read-only diagnostics.>
+- [ ] Save every screenshot to `/tmp/swarm-<pr-id>/worker-<n>/<slug>.png` and return the paths with the report.
+
+## <Task as a verb phrase> (<PR id>)
+
+**Depends on.** <PR id, or None.>
+
+**Files.**
+
+- [ ] Edit `<path>`.
+- [ ] Create `<path>`.

+- [ ] <One change. Name the symbol and the file.>
+
+**You see.**

+
+## Pi execution tools
+
+Use `pstack_agents` for one child and `pstack_workflow` / `pstack_graph` for an explicit DAG. Roles are `architect`, `worker`, `reviewer`, `verifier`, `synthesizer` and `integrator`. Parallel writers use isolated worktrees, then an integrator. A verifier directly depends on the artifact owner. Inspect workflow status on recovery; completed nodes are not replayed. Check remote state before retrying external effects. `pstack_worktrees` cleans only owned clean worktrees.

+# Pi adapter for the pinned pstack source
+
+The behavior source is the `vendor/upstream/0.15.36/pstack/` snapshot at `c742dd61706fbacc1b95f1a20b7b988cf096ce6c`. Generated supported Skill/playbook entrypoints retain the upstream Markdown after this Pi prelude. The eleven core workflows have critical-rule mappings; preserving a source body does not prove that a model followed it. The full source inventory is pinned separately; maintainer semantic sign-off remains pending.
+
+Apply user instructions and repository authority first. Read referenced source Markdown through `pstack_skill` with `upstream/skills/<skill>/...` resource IDs, consuming every page. Statechart's 0.15.36 TypeScript runtime and its test corpus are bundled under `skills/statechart/scripts`; the older 0.15.32 `.mjs` tools are retained for compatibility. Java/TLC and optional renderers are external dependencies. Other Cursor plugins, private APIs, drivers and cloud resources are not supplied.
+
+For Statechart execution, run `node <skill-dir>/../../dist/statechart/statechart.js SPEC.tla [--config FILE] [--view FILE] [--out DIR]`. This compiled copy is required in installed packages because Node does not strip TypeScript inside `node_modules`. The upstream source and test corpus remain unchanged.
+
+## Platform substitutions
+
+- Task workers use `pstack_agents` and `pstack_workflow` Pi AgentSessions. The parent owns the playbook. Parallel writers use Git worktrees; integrated delivery uses an explicit integrator and verification. These are local processes, not cloud VMs or OS sandboxes.
+- `/setup-pstack` previews model roles and suggested panels using models visible in the current Pi session; edit only what needs changing. Existing choices are preserved. Panels with the same model in several seats do not provide model diversity. Model roles use `models.json`; pass the playbook and, for named roles such as Reflect's `tooling`, `judgment`, `divergent`, and `synthesizer`, `modelRole` when dispatching. Explicit node models take precedence.
+- Pi `thinkingLevel` replaces Cursor's reasoning slug conventions. Optional same-family fallback chooses a registered model from the same provider and reports it; a supported lower reasoning level may be used and reported. Unknown families are not guessed, Cursor `-fast` aliases are not rewritten, and authentication/inference failures are not automatically retried.
+- For an unconfigured panel, plans suggest available Pi models and disclose repeated seats. Unresolvable configured seats are dropped or replaced with an available survivor or the parent, with notes. A known-family parent gets a judge only from another recognized family; if none is available, the plan produces candidates only and the coordinator must inspect, choose, integrate and verify them. A failed or unaccepted candidate is excluded only after the other candidates settle; verified survivors remain eligible and the dropout is recorded.
+- Arena's cross-judge uses confined `pstack_candidates` access to verified worktrees. The integrator independently reads and compares candidates before selecting and grafting. Architect's template includes a separate implementation phase after the selected sketch; the coordinator still owns upstream grounding (`how`/`why`) and optional checkpoints.

+Source: cursor/plugins@c742dd61706fbacc1b95f1a20b7b988cf096ce6c, pstack/skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/opening-a-pr.md. The following body is retained verbatim.
+
+## Steps
+
+### Opening a PR
+
+Invoked at the end of every other playbook.
+
+**Worktree.** Work from a git worktree off main. Subagents inherit it. Multiple `Task` calls on the same branch each get their own worktree, or `git fetch && git reset --hard origin/<branch>` between them. Dirty branch with unrelated work: patch out, fresh worktree, apply. Snarled worktree: reset from main, redo minimally.
+
+**Commits.** Commit liberally. Rebase into small, ordered commits before opening PRs. Each commit is a future PR: landable, ordered to tell the story. Amend when the fix belongs in a just-made commit. New commit when separable. Commit bodies don't restate the subject.
+
+**PRs.** Run `/deslop` from `cursor-team-kit` over the diff before commit and `/no-comments` before review. Write every PR title, description, and commit body with `/technical-writing` (every layer except Diátaxis, and apply the STE vocabulary rules: one word per action, keep articles, a plain verb over `-ing` where one works), then apply `/unslop`.
+
+**Titles.** Conventional Commits `type(scope): subject`, no trailing period. Type such as `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`, or `perf`. Scope is the area, such as `pstack` or `poteto-mode`. Subject is short, imperative, and names a real symbol when one carries the change, for example `fix(pstack): retarget opening-a-pr babysit trigger`.
+
+**Descriptions.** The PR body is a one-minute briefing, not a lab notebook, for a reviewer who has the diff. It says why the change exists, what it leaves out, what it could break, and how you proved it works. Write short, simple sentences with few identifiers, no walls of text. The body becomes the squash commit body, so keep that commit under about 40 lines. Use `##` headings, not bold lead-ins, in this order, and drop a section with nothing to say:
+
+- `## Why`: the problem and approach, 1–3 short sentences. No SHAs, rebase genealogy, or "based on main" preamble.
+- `## What changed`: 1–3 short bullets. Name a real symbol or path only when it carries the change. Name both sides of a rename or retarget.
+- `## Scope`: always. 1–3 short items on what it covers and what it deliberately leaves out (a follow-up, a known gap). No symbols, paths, or file-by-file essay.
+- `## Tradeoffs`: only rejected alternatives a reviewer would otherwise ask about. Skip when there was no real choice.
+- `## Blast Radius`: 1–2 sentences on who or what it touches and why that is safe or risky. If main is red, state the cost of leaving it red.
+- `## Verification`: 1–3 bullets, each a real run path and its outcome. Perf: one primary number with its unit, `before → after`, and a link to the arena or swarm directory for the rest. No sample-size methodology, swarm recitals, or metric tables.
+
+After the sections, attach videos or screenshots when they prove a claim. Full SHAs, swarm or arena lane recitals, lever-correction essays, file-by-file checklists, and "CLEAN" verdicts go in a linked artifact, not the body.
+
+**Forge.** Resolve the forge before the first PR operation and keep that choice for create, edit, view, watch, and merge. GitHub CLI (`gh`) is the default. If `command -v origin` succeeds and Origin can resolve the repository, prefer `origin pr ...`. If Origin is absent or cannot resolve the repository, stay on `gh` and record the fallback. Do not require Graphite (`gt`).
+
+**Built-in PR tool.** When the run provides a built-in PR tool, create, edit, retarget, and mark ready through it, never through a forge CLI. A CLI-made PR misses what the tool tracks. Use the resolved forge for everything the tool does not cover, and for every PR operation when the run has no such tool.
+
+**Size and stacks.** Prefer five narrow PRs to one large PR. A stack is a base-branch chain. The root PR targets trunk. Each child branch rebases onto its parent's exact tip and its PR targets the parent branch. As a parent merges, move its child onto trunk per `playbooks/shipping.md` step 4. Without a built-in PR tool, per the resolved forge, create a child with `origin pr create --status open --base <parent-branch>` or `gh pr create --base <parent-branch>`, and retarget one with `origin pr edit <pr> --base <parent-branch>` or `gh pr edit <pr> --base <parent-branch>`. Branch from trunk only for independent work. Rebase on trunk before substantial stack work.
+
+**Readiness.** Open every PR ready, never as a draft. A built-in PR tool can default to draft, so set `draft: false` on every creation call through it. With Origin, pass `--status open`. With `gh`, omit `--draft`. If a PR still opens as a draft, mark it ready through the PR tool, or run `origin pr ready <number>` or `gh pr ready <number>` according to the resolved forge. Run `origin pr view <number>` or `gh pr view <number>` before you refer to PR status.
+
+**Babysit.** Opening a PR does not start a babysit. Post the URL and keep building. Finish the phase or stack first. Run a separate babysit pass only when the user asks for one after the whole stack exists. A babysit for each new PR stalls the build and spends checks on commits later waves restart. Push back when feedback drifts from intent.
+
+A subagent that opens a PR runs `/deslop` and `/no-comments`, and posts the URL. It returns to the parent without babysitting, unless it is an Autopilot-full or Autopilot-stack owner. That owner's brief assigns the babysit loop and is the ask `playbooks/babysit.md` waits for. The owner starts the loop after its code-ready report, reports merge-ready, and is exempt from the rules here and in `playbooks/babysit.md` that hold babysitting until a whole stack is built.
+
+
+## Pi execution tools
+
+Use `pstack_agents` for one child and `pstack_workflow` / `pstack_graph` for an explicit DAG. Roles are `architect`, `worker`, `reviewer`, `verifier`, `synthesizer` and `integrator`. Parallel writers use isolated worktrees, then an integrator. A verifier directly depends on the artifact owner. Inspect workflow status on recovery; completed nodes are not replayed. Check remote state before retrying external effects. `pstack_worktrees` cleans only owned clean worktrees.
