+Sneakoscope Codex (`sks`) is a Codex CLI/App harness that makes repeatable Codex work **auditable**. It does not try to clone every other harness. It focuses on one thing relentlessly: Codex work becomes visual-evidence-bound, safety-gated, and reproducible through Completion Proof.

+| | What you get |
+| --- | --- |
+| 🍥 **`$Naruto` swarm** | Up to 100 parallel clone workers behind a hardware-safe concurrency governor, lease-based parallel writes, and a scheduler that backfills idle slots while runnable work remains |
+| 🖥️ **Live Zellij cockpit** | Workers stack vertically as native Zellij stacked panes; each pane streams heartbeat, current file, tool events, and stdout tails every second |
+| 🧾 **Completion Proof** | Every serious route ends with schema-backed proof artifacts — no "trust me, it's done" |

-## Current Release
+## 🚀 Current Release
 
-SKS **2.0.18** is the Codex 0.138 integration release: capability artifacts, Desktop `/app` handoff, plugin JSON inventory, image saved-path contracts, model-advertised effort order, account usage budget policy, and startup doctor checks.
+SKS **3.0.0** is the parallel-runtime stabilization release. The whole live-swarm experience — what you actually *see* while 5, 20, or 100 workers run — was rebuilt and proven end-to-end.
 
 What changed:
 
-- `sks doctor` now reports Codex 0.138 feature readiness, plugin JSON inventory, candidate-only remote MCP servers, unavailable app templates, and repairable plugin discovery cache state.
-- QA-LOOP can write a Codex Desktop `/app` handoff artifact with `--app-handoff` or require it with `--app-handoff-required`; this never substitutes for Codex Chrome Extension web UI evidence.
-- Zellij slot panes and the right-column anchor surface pending QA `/app` handoffs so desktop review is visible during long native-agent runs.
-- Codex plugin detail JSON is normalized into `.sneakoscope/codex-plugin-inventory.json`, and plugin-provided remote MCP servers remain candidate-only until explicitly enabled under DB/Mad-DB safety policy.
-- Imagegen and QA image flows write `image-artifact-path-contract.json` with exact saved file paths and follow-up edit hints.
-- Effort routing now understands the fallback order `minimal < low < medium < high < xhigh`, records model capability, and escalates QA effort after repeated failures.
-- Codex account token usage can be recorded from an app-server usage endpoint, and QA budget policy reduces remote concurrency near limits while preserving GPT final review.
-- Naruto final pass status now depends on the parallel runtime proof, and Mad-DB post-tool lifecycle recording handles MCP `isError` failures.
+- **Slot panes are finally alive.** The watch renderer froze for entire missions because the telemetry snapshot cache never invalidated; snapshot reads are now mtime-aware, multi-process flushes merge instead of clobbering each other, and the disk `updated_at` stays authoritative for stale detection.
+- **One SLOTS column, vertical stack.** Concurrent workers used to race anchor creation and split the screen into N side-by-side columns. Anchor + worker pane creation is serialized per session, and workers join a native Zellij stacked-pane group (`new-pane --stacked`, opt out with `SKS_ZELLIJ_WORKER_STACKED=0`).
+- **Live renderer is the default worker pane.** `full-debug` showed nothing until worker exit (workers run with `--json`); the default `compact-slots` renderer streams heartbeat, current file, tool events, and stdout tails every second.
+- **Zellij stays current like Codex does.** `sks --mad` / `sks naruto run` offer a `[Y/n]` upgrade to the latest stable Zellij (GitHub releases lookup, 6h cache), plus an explicit `sks zellij update [--yes]` subcommand and `SKS_SKIP_ZELLIJ_UPDATE` escape.
+- **Faster, honest dispatch.** Scheduler batch telemetry writes run concurrently per batch instead of serializing two file writes per worker; naruto backpressure throttling (50%/25% under host pressure) is reported in the run header instead of staying silent.
+- **Wired, not decorative.** The naruto finalizer gate and the agent message bus now run in production paths; dead swarm code (`naruto-work-stealing`, `zellij-right-column-layout-proof`) was removed.

+## 🍥 Parallelism, UX, And Integrations
 
 - **Extreme parallel fan-out (`$Naruto` / native agents).** Each clone is a separate CLI worker that spends almost all of its wall-clock awaiting the Codex API, so live concurrency scales by **memory and the provider rate limit, not CPU cores** — a capable host can run up to 100 workers in parallel. The 429/rate-limit backoff is handled by the centralized responses retry policy. Tune it with `SKS_NARUTO_MAX_CONCURRENCY` (hard cap, 1–100), `SKS_NARUTO_GB_PER_WORKER` (memory budget per worker), and `SKS_NARUTO_MIN_CONCURRENCY` (low-free-memory floor).

 SKS keeps durable learning context separate from disposable route work files. Durable context includes `.sneakoscope/memory/**`, shared TriWiki records, `.sneakoscope/wiki/context-pack.json`, wrongness memory, image voxels, avoidance rules, route Completion Proof, trust reports, evidence indexes, reflections, and agent proof summaries. These files are treated as the long-term learning and audit chain.
