+globs; only Oracle denies `ask_orchestrator` by default, while all five roles keep
+`notify_orchestrator`. Child `ask_orchestrator({ message })` carries blocking
+questions only; `notify_orchestrator({ message })` records one-way progress or
+checkpoints and returns immediately without a root turn. Both are `model-only`
+direct calls, independently controlled by `enable_ask_orchestrator` and
+`enable_notify_orchestrator` (default true, global/project cascade) and denials. See
 [tool selection controls](docs/installation.md#configure-specialist-tools-inside-pi).
 
 Pi setup currently supports the default `~/.pi/agent` root. See the
 [Pi installation guide](docs/installation.md#pi) for runtime requirements,
 existing-package conflicts, and recovery. Thoth manages its separate Pi
-delegation runtime as package `@thoth-agents/pi-subagents` (`0.1.0`) through
-`npm:@thoth-agents/pi-subagents@>=0.1.0`. Existing `pi-subagents` and
+delegation runtime as package `@thoth-agents/pi-subagents` through
+`npm:@thoth-agents/pi-subagents@>=0.3.0`, the first release owning
+`/subagents-tools`. Upgrade both packages together and `/reload` if Pi reports
+missing or duplicate command ownership. Existing `pi-subagents` and
 `pi-subagents-j0k3r` installs need manual recovery through Pi's package manager
 before setup. Local checkout development uses `pnpm run setup:pi:local`, which
 points Pi at the fork under `pi-packages/pi-subagents`; publishing the fork is
 not required for that path. Pi extensions run with your user's system
 permissions; agent tool allowlists are not an OS sandbox.
 
+### Optional Pi provider extensions (manual install)
+
+The installer does **not** install or manage the Claude/Antigravity bridges or
+pi-openai-fast. Install only those you want, then restart Pi:
+
+```bash
+pi install npm:@thoth-agents/pi-claude-bridge
+pi install npm:@thoth-agents/pi-antigravity-bridge
+pi install npm:@thoth-agents/pi-openai-fast
+```
+
+Authenticate Claude Code or the `agy` CLI separately. Claude rate-limit events
+from root and child sessions share pi-core's process-wide, account-wide registry
+(not a bus channel); affected subagent rows/details show active warnings and reset
+times without changing task status. Quota is on demand: `/claude quota` uses an
+experimental SDK API without sending a prompt; `/agy quota` shows Antigravity
+usage. Antigravity costs are API-equivalent estimates from an explicit catalog
+mapping, not subscription charges. The theme marks the total `(sub)` by default
+for both `claude-bridge` and `antigravity`. See
+[provider commands and caveats](docs/installation.md#manual-pi-provider-extensions).

 For scopes, troubleshooting, or local checkout installation, see the
 [installation guide](docs/installation.md). Local Pi checkout installs keep
 thoth-mem setup separate.

+Subagents (v2) and background tasks (v1) publish summary-only snapshots through

+The status line uses `thoth:subagents:usage`, not the removed raw
+`thoth:subagent-usage` bus event. Upgrade pi-subagents and pi-thoth-theme to
+`>=0.3.0` together and `/reload` to retain subagent cost display; the usage
+checkpoint discriminator is unchanged.
+
+The shared Pi Work panel uses pi-core's v2 data-only provider contract and
+[discovery/action API](pi-packages/pi-core/README.md#discovery-and-actions).
+Upgrade pi-subagents, pi-background-tasks and pi-todo together to `>=0.3.0`, then
+`/reload`; first-owner arbitration hides incompatible sections in mixed v1/v2
+installs. Subagent state is v2; background state, usage, requests and Render KIT remain v1.
+
+The [Pi sidebar](pi-packages/pi-sidebar/README.md) adds read-only Session,
+Workspace, Cost and discovered Todos/Subagents/Background panels in fullscreen and
+regular mode. `/sidebar` toggles, `/sidebar panels` lists ids for show/hide/order
+commands, and `/sidebar resize` resizes. `/sidebar settings` edits panel order,
+visibility, startup and default width; `/sidebar cost` opens task-cost curves
+against elapsed time per task, labeled by display name or a short task-summary name.
+Themed Agents/Background headers show static status-icon counts, omitting zero
+counts (Todos keeps completed/total), and detail commands; Workspace shows a
+`~`-abbreviated path and tracked file/line changes versus HEAD. Agent metrics
+include all available metrics with semantic icons (ASCII labels) in shared
+aligned columns that wrap without dropping metrics, stably across digit changes. Only displayed source panels absorb their
+Work sections; hiding the sidebar restores them. Panel order/visibility and
+startup policy/default width live in `~/.pi/agent/thoth-sidebar.json`. Subagent
+state v2 adds up to 100 cost-ranked persisted session summaries in `history`. Private Pi layout seams
+have guarded fallback; regular mode covers the live viewport, not historical
+scrollback. Update related extensions together to avoid mixed old UI owners.
+
+Pi's question UI replaces the editor without covering chat. `Ctrl+]` collapses it
+to a one-line dock and returns input to the editor; during an active run, `Enter`
+queues a steering message without answering the question. `Ctrl+]` re-expands
+with answers and drafts preserved, and the open tool-call card shows collapsed
+state. While open, `Ctrl+]` shadows editor `jumpForward`; collapsed `Esc` belongs
+to the editor or focused overlay. History/detail overlays close back to the
+expanded question or otherwise the editor; collapse and teardown preserve
+visible foreign-overlay focus. See [question controls](pi-packages/pi-questions-user/README.md#keyboard-controls).

Absent or explicitly empty means no denial, uninstalled denied names are inert, and malformed values fail closed. Only Oracle declares `disallowed_tools`, denying `ask_orchestrator` for independent judgment. Synchronization preserves operator `tools` (including globs and `*`) and valid operator denials, including an explicit empty value; otherwise package values apply.",
