BingZandNeil 7e4993e255 docs(orchestration): document worker-stop terminal-close contract (#13198)
Explain the worker-stop receipt's processAction values in the recovery
guide and command notes: closed_agent_terminal means Orca already issued
the close (no follow-up terminal close), and stop_unknown exits 1 while
possibly still reporting closed_agent_terminal.

Fixes #13197

Wooseong KimandNeil 3ab49a6924 docs(orca-cli): explain terminal titles and the agents paneKey join (#12813)
Clarify that `terminal create --title`/`terminal rename` set the tab
title (reported under visualLayouts), that `set-pane-title` sets
`terminals[].paneTitle`, and that `terminals[].title` is not a stable
key. Document that `agentIdentity` is only the agent type and that the
`worktree ps` `agents[].paneKey` join locates a specific agent's pane.

小七andNeil ea6c69be9a fix(runtime): add opt-in agentWait to worktree ps agent rows (#24142)
`orca worktree ps --agent-wait --json` now reports, on each terminal-backed
agent row of the returned page, the same agentWait verdict
`orca terminal show --json` gives for that terminal. The lookup is opt-in
(RPC `includeAgentWait: true`) because it reads screens and may probe PTYs,
which is too costly for default pollers. Hook rows use their terminal handle
only when a connected PTY confirms it, and pane-only hook rows resolve the
live terminal by pane key. Structured-worker rows and older hosts omit the
field (absent = not evaluated; null = looked, no wait).

Neil b35fb1ccfb fix(orchestration): route dispatched workers to the skill and stop heartbeat loops before worker_done (#34404)
The orchestration skill description only advertised coordinator work, so a
dispatched worker never loaded it and built its heartbeat loop from the
preamble alone. Neither the preamble nor the guide said to stop a background
heartbeat loop before worker_done, so the loop outlived the task.

Add worker-role triggers (heartbeats, ask, worker_done) to the description and
stub, and tell workers in the preamble and guide to restart an expired
heartbeat loop mid-task and stop it before worker_done.

Jason Brashear e3ece052e0 docs(cli): document terminal read --screen and realign terminal help usage (#15893)
The bundled orca-cli skill guide never mentioned `terminal read --screen`,
so agents onboarded from it used the stream read on repainting TUIs and got
stacked fragments. Add a --screen example plus the stream-vs-screen and
--screen/--cursor rules, and realign the root help usage lines for
terminal read and terminal split with their command specs.

Naveen ChatlapalliandNeil dad5c7ddb4 fix(orchestration): teach workers to acknowledge and drain mail batches (#26768)
Dispatched workers were told to run `orchestration check` but never to ack
the returned deliveryId, so the same batch replayed on every check and newer
coordinator mail stayed hidden. The dispatch preamble, orchestration skill
guide, and worker contract now tell workers to ack each processed batch with
`--ack <delivery_id>` (which also reads the next one) and repeat until count
is 0.

Brennan Benson f71120551f Stop workers from taking over the Run they work for (#29008)
* fix(orchestration): refuse run-use by a worker on the Run it works for

A worker holding an active Dispatch in a Run could bind that Run as its coordinator.
That silently unbound the real coordinator, remembered the worker's address as a
coordinator address (so the worker's own mail in that Run routed to the Run mailbox
from then on), and when the worker later bound its own sub-Run, left the parent Run
with no coordinator at all.

bindRun now refuses a caller whose handle holds an active Dispatch in the Run, with
worker_cannot_coordinate_own_run, before any effect. Creating its own Run for
sub-workers is unchanged.

* fix(orchestration): tell a worker naming its own Run where its mail is

Workers that made a sub-Run ran `check --run <parent>`, were told "This
coordinator terminal is bound to X, not Y", and ran run-use on the parent
to "switch back", unbinding their coordinator. That refusal now says the
Run belongs to their coordinator, that their own mail arrives through
plain `check`, and that they report with `send`; it never mentions run-use.

The run-use refusal now matches the caller the way check and send do
(address, then pane, so a reminted terminal handle is still caught),
also covers Runs above the caller's own through recorded creator_dispatch_id
lineage, skips context-only self-dispatches so a coordinator can still
rebind its own Run, and passes its code through the RPC wire.

* feat(orchestration): refuse run-use over a live coordinator without --takeover

run-use silently took a Run from whoever coordinated it, even a chat or
agent that was still running. It now refuses with run_coordinator_live
when there is positive evidence the current coordinator is running (its
chat is still reachable, or the agent hooks prove its terminal agent
live) unless the caller passes --takeover. Anything unproven (closed chat,
exited or unhooked terminal, another host) rebinds as before, so restart
handoffs need no flag. The probe is async in the RPC handler; bindRun
enforces it only if the Run is still bound to the probed party.

A caller working a Dispatch can never take over, with or without the
flag (worker_cannot_take_over_run). The help text now says run-use is
for resuming a Run and that workers never use it.

* fix(orchestration): stop pointing workers at run-use

Workers learned run-use from error text: "No Run is bound. Use run-create
or run-use first", "Rebind with orchestration run-use", and "Rebind this
terminal with orchestration run-use". Each now says what the caller can
do instead. An unbound worker is told its mail arrives through plain
check and it reports with send; a displaced coordinator is told to stop
and take the Run back only if the user asks. The orchestration skill now
says run-use resumes your own Run, --takeover needs the user's word, and
workers never run it.

* fix(orchestration): stop routing mail to addresses that grabbed a Run's seat

Every address that ever bound a Run is remembered as one of its
coordinator addresses, so mail to it routes to the Run mailbox. When a
worker bound the Run it was working for, its own address joined that
list for good, and its direct mail in that Run kept landing in the
coordinator's inbox. The live database has 45 such rows since
2026-08-20.

All four readers of the remembered addresses now skip one that was first
bound while it worked an unsettled, delegated Dispatch in the same Run.
It is derived from existing rows, so no migration or delete is needed and
rows written by older builds stop mattering. The active-Dispatch check
also matches a worker's orca_session_id spelling, not only its handle.

* fix(cli): keep the orchestration spec file within its line limit

* fix(orchestration): read remembered coordinator Run ids without a type assertion

* fix(orchestration): compare seat-grab times at whole seconds

first_bound_at has no milliseconds, so a worker bound in the same second its
Dispatch settled was counted as grabbing the seat. Compare completed_at at
whole seconds with a strict >.

* fix(orchestration): a worker coordinates only Runs it created

The worker refusals depended on proving the target's coordinator alive, so
a worker could still take any Run whose coordinator was closed, unhooked,
remote or headless. Replace them with one rule derived from existing rows:
a caller working a Dispatch may bind only a Run it legitimately
coordinated before (a remembered, non-seat-grab address of that Run, or a
Run it dispatched work into), never the Run it works for, and never with
--takeover. A same-binding no-op is never refused, and workers are
classified before the legacy gate so they never see its
--takeover-legacy hint. The refusal names the Dispatch and how to end it
with worker-abandon if it is stale. The ancestor walk is gone.

run-use now records which coordinator it probed. If the binding moved
before the transaction, it probes again (three tries) and then refuses
with a retryable run_binding_changed instead of binding over a party
nobody probed. run_coordinator_live names the chat by its title and
worktree, or the terminal by its title and worktree, says it is still
open, and that closing it clears the refusal.

* fix(orchestration): say what happens to mail on takeover and stop naming run-use to readers

The help now says --takeover replaces the coordinator and replays its
unacknowledged mail to you. A replaced mailbox reader is told only that
another session coordinates the Run and to stop reading it.

* refactor(orchestration): throw one non-null refusal from the live gate

* refactor(runtime): host the coordinator presence probe beside the hook presence seam

Main moved the orphan-adoption runtime file; keeping the one-line probe next
to checkHookAgentPresenceFn leaves this PR off that file.

* fix(orchestration): use findLast for the worktree name

* refactor(runtime): move the coordinator presence probe beside the pty presence recheck

Main is moving the runtime construction files; the probe now sits with
recheckHookAgentPresenceForPty, which reads the same seam, so this PR stays
off the files being moved.

* test(cli): use explicit module extensions in restart handoff test

* test(orchestration): isolate source CLI integration in subprocesses

* refactor(orchestration): leave the live-coordinator takeover rule to #29292

#29008 is the worker fix: a worker cannot bind the Run it works for or an
ancestor, cannot abandon itself to get around that, and addresses it held while
grabbing a seat stop redirecting its mail. The separate rule that refuses any
second coordinator while the first is still open (the presence probe, the
--takeover flag and the run_coordinator_live / run_binding_changed refusals)
moves to #29292, which models Run ownership and hand-over and already builds on
it. run-use binds synchronously again, as on main.

Neil 95384a63bd fix(terminal): frame CLI prompts for every recognized agent, not just Claude and Codex (#33571)
`orca terminal send --text … --enter` now uses the bracketed paste + Enter agent-prompt path for every recognized agent (not just Claude/Codex), so Pi's #/@ completion and Grok's y/n trust question no longer swallow or answer typed prompts. Agents whose process names collide with ordinary tools (orca, acli, cn, vibe) still need title/hook evidence. A send into a permission/trust menu is refused with a hint to send --text and --enter separately.

cedce2aa9f feat(cli): add orca ports to list a workspace's detected ports (#33016)
* feat(cli): add orca ports to list a workspace's detected ports

Scripts and agents had no way to read the ports Orca already detects for
a workspace, so finding a dev server on a random port meant redoing the
lsof scan by hand. `orca ports` reuses the host-scoped
workspacePorts.scanHost RPC, keeps the rows owned by the current (or
--worktree) workspace, and prints port, pid, process, connect host,
protocol, how the owner was matched, and the advertised URL. --all shows
every listener on that host. An older runtime without scanHost gets an
"update Orca" error instead of a raw method_not_found.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cli): resolve folder workspaces in orca ports and match rows by path

Run inside a native folder, `orca ports` failed with selector_not_found
(or picked an enclosing git worktree) because it only searched the
worktree list. It now resolves the cwd like `agent launch`, native
folders first, and shows that host's listeners. Rows are matched on the
owner's path instead of its id, so every instance of a repo-backed
folder workspace keeps its ports even though attribution names only the
first instance as owner. `--all` adds the worktree id when two owners
share a display name, and the skill guide notes that only workspace
rows carry `owner` and `advertisedUrl`.

Brennan Benson 1cf24e5e6f fix(orchestration): let a worker start helpers on the Run it works for (#29205)
* fix(orchestration): let a worker start helpers on the Run it works for

A dispatched worker could only start helper workers by taking a coordinator
seat on a new Run, and taking a seat moved its inbox. worker-start now also
accepts a worker on an active Dispatch: its helpers run in the same Run, report
to it (worker_done, heartbeat, escalation, status, ask), and it answers their
questions. The worker's own mailbox never moves. When it settles, whatever its
helpers sent that it never handled goes to the Run's coordinator.

Authority comes from the worker's own Dispatch, re-checked inside the
reservation transaction. Helpers are fresh agents on this host; a worker may
retry only its own helper's latest attempt. Remote workers keep the old
own-Run instructions. No saved field or wire change.

* fix(orchestration): read helper rows without type assertions

* fix(orchestration): hand a settled helper creator's mail to the Run as live delivery

When a worker that started helpers settled, its helpers' unhandled mail was
re-addressed to the Run by settlement SQL alone. Nothing woke the Run's
coordinator, delivered rows kept their old delivery stamp so pointers and the
restart scan skipped them, payload-free status reports were left behind
because selection required payload.dispatchId, and a question asked while the
creator was being stopped stayed with the stopped creator.

- Select handed-back mail by its recipient mailbox and Run (unread reports
  plus pending questions, even ones already read), reset delivery and pointer
  state on the moved rows, and fence the old mailbox's Deliveries.
- After the settling transaction ends, the runtime re-reads exactly the moved
  rows and wakes the Run with their real types; a rollback wakes no one and a
  failure falls back to the existing repoint retry. Restart recovery is the
  existing unread-undelivered scan.
- Hand mail back again at the final stop settlement, which also closes the
  stopped Dispatch's own questions asked during the stop.
- A worker_done receipt replay re-offers the handed-back targets.
- Scope markAsDelivered to the mailbox it pointed, so a late pointer stamp
  from the old owner cannot hide mail now owned by the Run.

* test(orchestration): drop an unused inbox type

* fix(orchestration): read only the Run when handing a settled worker's mail back

Every settlement runs the hand-back, so a full dispatch row read there added a statement per settlement. Also expect the mailbox-scoped delivered stamp in two delivery tests from main.

* fix(orchestration): re-offer handed-back Run mail on every worker_done replay

A helper creator's worker_done hands its helpers' unread reports and pending
questions to the Run. The send stored the Run's extra wake targets in the
mutation receipt, but the executor rewrites that receipt on completion and on
each replay, so an identical retry only woke the original destination.

Derive the targets at replay time instead: for the settled Dispatch (when it
has same-Run helpers), notify run:<id> for each type of unread report or
pending question there. Notification only; nothing is re-settled or inserted.
The receipt augmentation is removed.

* feat(agent.launch): a launch can name chat or terminal, and the CLI gets --surface chat|terminal

agent.launch gains an optional `surface` field, read by hosts advertising
agent.launch.surface.v1. `terminal` always runs the agent's CLI; `chat` runs a
chat even when the user's default is a terminal, and one the host can prove it
cannot open is refused with a typed no-effects error before anything is
created, so a retry answers with the same refusal. The pick is part of the
replay fingerprint. `orca agent launch` and `orca worktree create --agent`
accept --surface chat|terminal and refuse it on a host that would drop it,
including the legacy worktree.create fallback.

Adds `orca terminal set-pane-title --terminal <handle> --title <text>`; `--title ""`
clears it. The runtime resolves the live handle to its saved leaf and asks the

(`ui:setPaneTitle`). Mounted panes apply it through the same local setter the GUI
uses; parked panes get it in the saved layout their next mount reads. The tab's
own name is never touched.

* feat(terminal): show a paired server's terminal in this desktop on terminal switch

A paired `orca serve` host has no window, so `orca terminal switch --environment <name>`
resolved the handle there, answered `navigated: false`, and the desktop stayed put (#24688).

Add `terminal.reveal`, a desktop runtime method that names a pane by worktree, tab and leaf, as
the owning host knows them, and runs the Agent Dashboard's click-to-focus sequence before raising
the window. When a paired server cannot navigate, `terminal switch` asks the desktop on this
machine to reveal the terminal instead.

A finalize 409 after a signed-out preview is the user's own name, so it falls
back to the generic publish failure instead of blaming a teammate.

Brennan Benson b70f13ff89 fix(orchestration): stop retried failed worker starts from piling up live agents (#27795)
* fix(orchestration): stop retried failed worker starts from piling up live agents

A failed worker-start keeps the terminal it created (a pane the user typed
into is theirs), so a coordinator retrying a start that can never succeed
left one more live agent behind on every retry, with nothing to stop it.

- A --retry-of start now releases the failed attempt's still-owned terminal
  through the normal worker-release path (output archived, user takeover
  kept, recovery finishes it after a restart).
- A failed start now counts toward the Task's existing three-failure circuit
  breaker, carried across retries; a retry of a circuit-broken Dispatch is
  refused with a plain error.

Linear: STA-7113

* test(orchestration): type the failed-start retry fixtures without casts

* fix(orchestration): carry failed-start count only along --retry-of; plain breaker refusal

- Only a --retry-of start inherits its predecessor's failure count, so worker
  exits across separate starts keep the old behaviour.
- The circuit-broken refusal carries failureCount and next steps that say to

* Add CLI commands to manage and find workspace references

* Fix reference review findings: source-context twins, legacy link collapse, closed chats, old-host errors

- Keep same-URL links with different source contexts separate; CLI add/remove no longer drops a twin
- Restore merging a bare legacy link into its single matching URL link (no duplicate PR rows, no resurrection on older-client removal)
- Carry absorbed data through collapse chains; resolve repoId conflicts deterministically
- Identity: ignore www., case-insensitive GitHub/GitLab/Gitea paths (stored URL keeps case), no Jira match on git hosts; find accepts self-hosted issue URLs
- reference find: skip closed native chats, require a session id for linked, include an explicitly named archived workspace, warm-cache fallback for --worktree
- Selector parity: collapse same-host duplicate paths, issue: ignores unlinked rows
- CLI: clear update-host error for hosts without reference.*, local flag checks before host probe, help text fixes

* Fix CI: add reference rm alias for verb policy; expect linkedItems in worktree ps summary

* Simplify reference CLI: share identifier/legacy-match helpers, drop redundant dedupe

Jinjing 55eb48c137 Let automations pass extra agent arguments on each run (#26659)
* Let automations pass extra agent arguments on each run

Automations could only use the host's default agent Arguments, so a
per-automation choice such as a different model needed a settings change
that affected every run. Automations can now save extra arguments that
are appended to the host's defaults on each fresh run. Extras are
allowlisted to model, effort, and Claude's --add-dir, and are refused for
permission, config, prompt, and session options.

- Add the field through the CLI (`automations create/edit
  --extra-agent-args`), the RPC contract, the automation store, and the
  editor's Advanced section, with validation at save and at launch.
- Merge extras over the defaults by replacing a model or effort option
  the defaults already set, then re-tokenize to confirm the launch argv
  matches what was validated.
- Gate writes behind a new runtime capability, and refuse to save or
  migrate extras to a host that would silently drop them.
- Require a fresh session, since reused sessions cannot take new
  arguments.

* Simplify automation argument validation and launch handling

* improve the extra args display

* fix translation

* Validate automation extra args during ORCA migration

Dormant automations imported from the migration manifest skipped the extra-args check. A disallowed flag, or Reuse combined with extra args, could persist and then fail every later run. The manifest parser now rejects those rows.

Also move the automation runtime capability constants into `automation-runtime-capabilities.ts`. `protocol-version.ts` re-exports them, so existing imports keep working.

* add more demo with effort

Brennan Benson 6e7e964705 feat(orchestration): tell each agent its own orchestration address (#22636)
* feat(orchestration): report the caller's host-resolved orchestration address in orca status

orca status --json gains a caller block: the calling agent's address as the
host resolved it from the identity its environment carries. A structured
session is session:<id>; a terminal agent is its handle, with whether the host
still knows it. A session the host refuses reports that refusal instead.

The host answers through a new read-only orchestration.callerShow, so the
session claim runs through the same dispatch-entry resolver every verb uses.
An older host leaves caller unresolved. The help footer and the run/check
specs stop describing identity only in terminal terms.

* docs(orchestration): tell agents their address and give chat coordinators a non-waiting loop

The orchestration guide now states that a chat session's address is
session:<id> (never the provider's id), that orca status --json reports it,
and that no caller flag should name another agent. A consuming check no
longer tells every caller to name itself with --terminal. A chat coordinator
starts its wave, ends the turn, and on each turn Orca starts for new mail
runs a non-waiting check and ack; it never blocks in check --wait. The guide
also names ORCA_CLI_COMMAND as the executable in chat sessions.

* feat(native-chat): add Copy Orchestration Address to a structured chat's context menu

Copies session:<id>, the Orca-minted address other agents message the chat
by. The existing Copy Session ID still copies the provider's id and is left
as is; the new action is labelled so the two cannot be confused. Strings are
added to every locale catalog.

* feat(orchestration): tell every dispatched worker its own orchestration address

The worker preamble names the coordinator's address rather than a terminal
handle, and states the worker's own address. A structured worker is told it
is session:<id>, that its coordinator reaches it there or at its dispatch
mailbox, and that mail arriving while it is idle starts a new turn. Its
commands invoke the CLI through ORCA_CLI_COMMAND in its own shell's form, the
same rendering the pointer turn uses, because a bare orca in a login shell can
reach a different Orca.

* docs(orchestration): give the ORCA_CLI_COMMAND form for POSIX shells and PowerShell

A chat session's shell reads the variable as "$ORCA_CLI_COMMAND" in a POSIX
shell (Git Bash included) and as & $env:ORCA_CLI_COMMAND in PowerShell, the
same two forms the pointer turn and worker preamble render. The chat
coordinator loop now runs the check its pointer turn names.

* docs(orchestration): say that /clear gives a chat a new address and Orca moves its Runs

* fix(orchestration): keep CLI resolution in the shared skill stub and the orchestration kernel in budget

The guide-contract tests own two rules this PR broke: only the shared skill
stub may describe how to resolve the CLI, and the always-loaded orchestration
kernel stays within 202 lines. The ORCA_CLI_COMMAND text moves to the stub's
resolver block, which now covers chat sessions and login shells beside WSL and
gives the POSIX and PowerShell forms; every skill projection and the bundle
manifest are regenerated. The kernel keeps one line each for the caller's
address, the environment-resolved check caller and the chat coordinator's
non-waiting loop; the loop steps and the address details move to the
coordinator-loop and messaging references. The two kernel pins now assert the
new check contract and refuse the old --terminal <your_handle> shape.

* fix(orchestration): refuse a blocking check --wait from a native chat session

A chat runs turn by turn through a shell tool with its own timeout, so a
blocking wait is killed mid-wait and retried. The host now refuses it with
wait_requires_terminal and the turn-loop recovery, keyed on the session's
lease: a session a terminal view holds still runs in a PTY and may block.

* fix(orchestration): resolve orca status's caller with the verbs' ladder, host-side

callerShow now answers a terminal caller the way the coordinator verbs act:
the carried handle while it is live, else the handle its pane was reminted
as. The CLI always asks, so the host decides that a process has no identity
from the same envelope every verb sends; a pane key alone now resolves.

* fix(orchestration): show a structured worker as session:<id> wherever agents read mail

A structured worker was session:<id> in orca status and its preamble, but
structworker_<uuid> in check rows, banners, reply hints, its own check label
and a sub-worker's coordinator line. The minted handle is now only the
mailbox key: mailbox reads, the check label and preamble coordinator lines
spell the worker session:<id>, which the host binds back to that mailbox.
Send receipts still echo the stored row, whose sender key worker_done
settlement matches.

* fix(orchestration): teach a chat worker the turn loop and pin preamble parity at the contract

The worker preamble was byte-identical across modes except its address, so a
chat worker was taught a 600s blocking ask its shell tool kills before the
message ID for --resume prints, heartbeat exemptions for check --wait, and to
keep a shell open. Parity now pins the contract (sections, verbs, flags,
lifecycle ids); interaction discipline follows the mode: a chat asks with a
5s wait and ends its turn, owns sub-workers through the turn loop, and names
itself session:<id> in every command. The guide says a chat's address
survives /clear and that Orca refuses a chat's check --wait.

* test(orchestration): pass the db to preamble delivery and fence a terminal-view waiter

The coordinator line maps a structured coordinator's handle through the
orchestration db, so delivery takes it from its caller. The consumer-fencing
waiter test now waits as a terminal-view session, the only session kind that
may still block in check --wait.

* test(orchestration): read the Run id with the fixture's checked accessor

* feat(orchestration): copy a chat's conversation address, which /clear keeps

Copy Orchestration Address copied session:<live id>. A chat's address is its
conversation's, derived by the host from the session records, so the menu now
asks the host for it at copy time through orchestration.sessionAddress, the
same derivation a verb acting as that session binds to. A host that predates
the method has no /clear lineage, so there the live id is the address. The
guide's /clear text says the address survives and nothing moves.

* test(orchestration): pin that a cleared chat's successor copies its conversation's root address

* test(orchestration): give the mode-opacity fixture's record store the listing a lineage lookup reads

A structured worker's agent-visible address now resolves through its conversation's lineage,
which lists the session records; the fixture's partial store lacked that listing, so the
sub-worker start failed at dispatch input.

* refactor(orchestration): format a chat's copied and reported address from its root Orca session id

Carries the Orca session id rename into the self-address surfaces.
orchestration.sessionAddress, the copy action's fallback, callerShow and the address a
structured worker is shown now format `session:<id>` from the conversation's bare
root Orca session id with formatOrcaSessionAddress, and ids arriving as strings are
checked with isOrcaSessionId first. The CLI status line, the check caller label and
the dispatch preamble spell the prefix from the one exported constant.

* refactor(orchestration): resolve a session's reported address through the party resolver, and refuse every session's check --wait

- orchestration.sessionAddress, and the agent-visible spelling of a structured
  worker, resolve through the party resolver, so they format the lineage root
  the one id hook derives; sessionAddress.sessionId is classified as a target.
- With the terminal handoff gone every structured session runs turn by turn, so
  check --wait is refused for any session caller, a worker included, and the
  session caller no longer carries its lease's runtime kind.
- The coordinator loop no longer mentions a terminal view, and the messaging
  reference says a chat takes messages but is refused as a Dispatch assignee.

* fix(orchestration): cap a session caller's blocking wait below its shell tool instead of refusing it

A chat or structured worker runs each command under its provider's shell-tool timeout, so check
--wait was refused for every session caller and chats were taught a separate loop. The host now
caps check --wait and ask for a session caller below that timeout (Codex 10s one-shot exec
default, Claude Code Bash 120s) and answers the normal timed-out result, so the terminal
coordinator loop runs unchanged in a chat. A terminal caller's wait is untouched.

* refactor(orchestration): teach a chat worker the terminal worker's preamble, byte for byte but the address

One preamble for both modes: the chat variant (short ask, end your turn, this chat stays
available, ORCA_CLI_COMMAND invocation) is deleted. A structured worker's only difference is its
address, session:<id>; the byte-parity test between modes is restored with just that substituted.

* docs(orchestration): drop every chat-specific instruction; name the address once, generically

The guide, its references, the shared CLI-resolution stub and the help return to main's text,
with one kernel line saying `orca status --json` shows your address (the kernel stays at main's
length). The status caller block reports only the opaque address, the same shape for a chat and
a terminal agent. Guides regenerated.

* test(orchestration): pin that a chat and a terminal agent see the same preamble, pointer and guide

* test(orchestration): key the wait-cap fixture's records by plain session id strings

* chore(i18n): add the copy-address strings at the head of native-chat, clear of main's catalog edits

* test(orchestration): fail the capped-wait test on the settle, not on the test timeout

* test(orchestration): keep main's takeover assertions on a session coordinator's waiting check

With the session wait capped rather than refused, the test main extended runs as it is: the restack re-added the shorter pre-main version over it.

* fix(orchestration): show a /clear-ed chat its lineage root's address everywhere it reads its own

check labelled a session caller with session:<live id>, while orca status and the
preamble show the conversation's root. The CLI cannot read the lineage, so the label
now comes from the same host answer orca status prints (orchestration.callerShow),
asked only when there are messages to render, and falling back to the live id only
when the host cannot say. The host also spells a session address it shows an agent
with the lineage root: a dispatch preview filled in from the chat's own address, and
the provider-id refusal that names a session's address.

* test(orchestration): the parity test's gate facts resolve like the host's

* test(orchestration): the parity test's gate facts carry the submissions main's pointer lane reads

* fix(orchestration): wait a chat's check --wait and ask exactly as long as a terminal's

The host capped a session caller's blocking wait (Codex 6s, Claude 100s) so the
provider's shell tool would not kill it. Neither provider kills a long shell
call: default Codex's exec tool yields and keeps the command running, and Claude
Code moves a timed-out Bash call to the background. Terminal agents run the same
tools uncapped, so the cap only made a chat coordinator re-poll every few
seconds. A session caller's check --wait and ask now wait the budget asked for.

* fix(orchestration): show every agent one address, the mailbox address its mail is keyed by

A structured worker was told `session:<id>` in orca status and its preamble,
but its own send receipts, inbox, worker-list, dispatch previews and task rows
still showed the `structworker_` handle its mail is stored under; only some
reads were re-spelled. Instead of re-spelling reads, callerShow,
sessionAddress and the preamble now report the caller's stored mailbox
address (mailboxAddressOf): a terminal's handle, a structured worker's handle,
and a chat's `session:<lineage root>`. The read-side re-spelling layer
(withAgentVisibleAddresses and its check/banner/preamble call sites) is gone.

Dispatch previews spell the coordinator by its party's mailbox address, so a
`/clear`ed chat's dispatch-show still names its root.

* refactor(orchestration): label check output from what the CLI already knows

check asked the host for orchestration.callerShow after every non-empty check
by a session, only to fill a label used when a legacy row lacks to_handle,
which host rows never do. The label is again the caller's handle or its
injected mailbox address, with no second round trip after mail is consumed.

* refactor(native-chat): offer Copy Orchestration Address on chat tabs only

No mount passes both terminal-pane actions and an orchestration address: a
chat shown inside a terminal pane is that terminal's agent, copied by its
terminal ID. Drop the unreachable terminal-pane placement and its tests.

* fix(orchestration): have orca status report the handle the agent's own check reads

After a window reload a terminal agent keeps ORCA_TERMINAL_HANDLE=term_old while
its pane is reminted as term_new. callerShow reminted and advertised term_new,
but check, send and ask act as the carried handle and never remint, so mail
sent to the advertised address was never read by that agent. callerShow now
answers the carried handle with its liveness, and null for a pane key alone,
from which the mailbox verbs have no identity. Resolving terminal callers once
on the host for every verb is a separate follow-up.

* fix(orchestration): read the renamed coordinator line in the long-prompt repro, and trim round-one leftovers

The reliability repro's fake worker parsed "Your coordinator's terminal handle
is:", which the preamble now spells "Your coordinator's address is:", so it
silently skipped worker_done; it accepts both. Dispatch and its dry-run go back
to main's coordinator line (their `from` is already bound at the entry); only
dispatch-show, whose `from` is unbound, resolves it. Also drops a stale
status-caller comment, trims the wait test to its one uncapped-wait case, and
reverts comment-only churn in the worker opacity test.

* docs(orchestration): keep worker obligation 1 as main words it

The guide grows by the one caller.address line; the parity test bounds the
kernel at main's length plus that line instead of forcing a reword.

* test(native-chat): prove a structured chat tab offers Copy Orchestration Address

Renders the pane-commands hook as a structured chat tab and selects the item:
it asks orchestration.sessionAddress with the tab's target and session id.
Also corrects the menu item's comment to what it copies.

* test(orchestration): D5's tests expect the orca_session_id prefix and 'Orca session ID' wording

* fix(orchestration): name a session by its Orca session ID, and leave terminal agents as main has them

Terminal agents keep main's exact wording: a terminal worker's preamble is
byte-identical to main's, and orca status prints nothing new for them. A
session is named by its Orca session ID (orca_session_id:<id>, its /clear
root's): a structured worker's preamble says "Your Orca session ID is: …"
and its commands use that ID, and a session coordinator is "Your
coordinator's Orca session ID is: …". orca status shows a session caller's
`caller.orcaSessionId`; callerShow answers null for anyone else. The chat
tab menu item becomes "Copy Orca Session ID" with a tooltip saying what the
ID is, and its toasts match. No agent-read text calls this ID an address.
A structured worker's mail is still keyed by its minted handle.

* test(orchestration): check CLI help and status for "address" wording from a CLI test

The node project cannot compile src/cli, so the guard over CLI help, specs
and status text moves to src/cli; both halves share one pattern. Also brings
two comments and the long-prompt repro's coordinator-line regex to the Orca
session ID wording.

* fix(native-chat): keep the Orca session ID tooltip within the tooltip primitive's typography

Drops a restyle the design-system gate refuses on TooltipContent, keeps
"Agent" untranslated in the Japanese tooltip as that catalog does, and types
the test's tooltip mock without an assertion.

* fix(native-chat): the Orca session ID tooltip names the agent CLI's own session ID in the singular

Jinwoo Hong 3047353017 fix(orchestration): worker-abandon settles a stuck worker and records who did it (#23983)
* fix(orchestration): worker-abandon settles a stuck worker and records who abandoned it

worker-abandon refused or no-oped in the states it exists to escape: a stop
stranded by a dead runtime, an active attempt that was no longer the Task's
latest, and settled workers whose terminal release was stuck at requested or
unknown. It now settles every non-terminal worker except this runtime's own
in-flight stop, records who abandoned it, and retains (never closes) an owned
terminal whose release is not already in flight.

Part of STA-8833.

* refactor(orchestration): abandon retains through worker-retain's rule; record cancellations

- One retain helper serves worker-retain and worker-abandon. A committed release (releasing, unknown) keeps its state and archive, since the tab may already be closed; a retained terminal drops its stale archive.

Jinwoo Hong 9afd1101ff fix(orchestration): stop minting and printing the dispatch capability (#23994)
* fix(orchestration): authorize worker reports without the dispatch capability

Worker lifecycle reports and questions no longer depend on the per-dispatch
capability token that lives only in the agent's conversation. The host now:

- ignores capability_hash/capability_revoked_at for authorization on every
  row and checks the exact worker process instead (ask gains that check);
- refuses a report whose calling terminal is provably another orchestration
  party (a Run coordinator or another Dispatch's worker), treating env that
  names no live pane here as absent;
- applies one worker-state rule locally and remotely: a stop in flight
  refuses, while stop_unknown and start_unknown accept and settle.

Minting and printing the flag are unchanged, so an older host and older
preambles keep working.

* fix(orchestration): stop minting the dispatch capability

Dispatches no longer mint a per-Dispatch token, and preambles, the bundled
skill guide and the ask resume hint stop printing --dispatch-capability. The
consumer-generation bump and delivery fence that minting carried stay, now
as setDispatchConsumer. Readers that inferred meaning from capability_hash
read what they meant instead: worker-show's injected stage comes from the
attached consumer, and a failed start copies custody identity only when no
authority was ever attached. The CLI keeps accepting and forwarding the
flag for older hosts.

Cancelling a Task is recorded as failed with a reason; task-list now shows
that reason and the guide and task-update notes document the recipe.

* fix(orchestration): name the fenced party without implying which Dispatch it owns

* refactor(orchestration): one worker report rule, fence only a different party

- One module owns the unproven/settleable worker states and the refusal rule; local send records it, ask and remote throw it. A stale process is worker_identity_changed on every path.
- The caller fence passes the worker's own terminal when its --from handle went stale.
- Document the shared-tmux-server limit; drop the dead dispatch_capability_invalid rejection member; tests assert dispatch state, not the capability column.

* refactor(orchestration): drop setDispatchConsumer and the dead capability retention

- dispatch --inject no longer re-points the row createDispatchContext just wrote; worker-show reports every worker-less Dispatch as context_only, since Orca keeps no record of the paste. Tests re-point through a fixture.
- failWorkerStart always records when the lifecycle closed; nothing authorizes on it.
- Restore the ask resume hint's echo of a passed --dispatch-capability: an old host checks it before --resume.
- Move the cancellation convention to #23983.

* test(orchestration): drop capability-era assertions other tests already cover

* refactor(orchestration): drop the host-side capability field and no-op test fixtures

- RpcRequest and the SSH bridge stop carrying orchestrationCapability; the CLI's wire field stays for older hosts.
- Fixtures pass identity to createRootDispatch instead of re-pointing to the same values; drop absence checks for a flag that can no longer be produced.

Neil 52a1e2875b feat(orchestration): accept Muse model and effort for supervised workers (#22383)
* feat(orchestration): accept Muse model and effort for supervised workers

`worker-start --agent muse` already launched, but `--model` was refused because
Muse had no session-option catalog. Add one that maps worker preferences to
`muse --model <id>` and `--reasoning-effort <level>`; it seeds no models, so
native-chat surfaces show no picker.

opencode stays without `--model`: the opencode 2 TUI (now shipped as
`opencode`) rejects the flag, so the refusal now tells callers to rely on the
agent's own config. Help, skill guide, and docs list valid `--agent` ids and
the agents that accept `--model`.

eb92222e7f feat: support Antigravity as supervised worker (#21705)
* feat: add supervised Antigravity worker support

* fix: address Antigravity worker review findings

* fix: stabilize Antigravity readiness detection

* fix: allow Antigravity resume footer after readiness

* fix(antigravity): make agy reach worker_done as a supervised worker

Three defects each blocked `orchestration worker-start --agent antigravity
--worktree new-child` at the agent_readiness stage.

1. Readiness never fired. The composer check required the trimmed line to be
   exactly one character, but agy 1.2.7 launches in accept-edits mode and paints
   it into the caret row (`> Accept-edits mode: ...`). Widened narrowly to a bare
   `>` or `> <name> mode:`; matching any `> <text>` would make every menu dialog
   read as ready, since they all prefix their highlighted row the same way.

2. No trust artifact for agy. Added markAntigravityWorkspaceTrusted, writing
   ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/settings.json under `trustedWorkspaces` — verified
   empirically against agy 1.2.7, and distinct from the Gemini CLI's
   trustedFolders.json, which agy does not consult. Trust is exact-path and not
   inherited by subdirectories, so each child worktree needs its own entry.

3. The orchestration path skipped the preset. Orca has two trust dispatch
   chains: the renderer's preflightAgentTrust and the main-process
   markLocalWorktreeTrusted. worker-start only takes the second, which matched
   cursor/copilot/codex and fell through for antigravity, so the trust write
   never happened while renderer-side tests passed.

Verified live end to end: the dispatch settles `succeeded` with worker_done
carrying the right task and dispatch ids, and the worktree is appended to agy's
settings with sibling keys untouched.

Known gap: remote-agent-trust-presets.ts has no antigravity branch. The SSH
artifact path is unverified, so agy over SSH still stalls at agent_readiness.
Recorded in a comment there rather than guessed at.

* fix(antigravity): wire trust preset through preload safely

* fix: preserve Antigravity readiness across transcript tails

Jinwoo Hong 3336933cc8 fix(orchestration): list worker Dispatches newest first and warn when the page truncates (#21523)
* fix(orchestration): list worker Dispatches newest first and warn when the page truncates

`worker-list` paged `ORDER BY d.rowid ASC` with a 100-row cap, so a Run with
more than 100 Dispatches answered with its OLDEST 100. The workers a coordinator
had just started, and the rows carrying `projection.attention.requiresAction`,
were on a page nobody fetched, while `counts` and `page.total` covered the whole
Run so the receipt read as complete.

One ordering, flipped: the detail query and the terminal-state scan it pages by
both order `d.rowid DESC`, and the cursor fence walks down (`d.rowid < anchor`).
The snapshot fence is unchanged — `d.rowid <= snapshot` still means "nothing
created after the first call".

When the page truncates the receipt now carries a `warnings` string, the same
shape `worker-output` already uses, alongside `page.hasMore`. Text output keeps
its `More: --cursor` line and prints the warning through the block it already
had for partial-host errors.

Refs STA-7861

* fix(orchestration): make the worker-list truncation warning true on every page

The warning said "Showing the N newest of T Dispatches" unconditionally, but
`hasMore` is true on every page except the last, so page 2 of a 300-Dispatch Run
claimed to be the newest 100 while showing rows 200..101. This PR exists because
a receipt read as complete when it was not; that warning shipped a receipt that
read as the newest page when it was not.

The page count and the ordering are separate facts, so state them separately:
"Showing N of T Dispatches, newest first; more are on later pages." True on page
one and page N alike, no extra state. The 105-row case only ever reached the
last page, where `hasMore` is false, which is why it missed this; a new case
walks 6 Dispatches at `--limit 2` so a page that is truncated AND not page one
is covered.

Also: the `worker-list` --help note and the recovery-and-cleanup reference still
described the oldest-first contract; both now say newest first. The snapshot
test is renamed to the property it actually proves — under DESC a later insert
is unreachable by arithmetic, so what the `d.rowid <= snapshot` fence still
earns is pinned `page.total` and `counts`, not row exclusion. The continuation
comment says "below the anchor" next to `d.rowid < ?`, and the two SAFETY
rationales now say what they are: an unchanged cast the gate flagged because the
diff moved inside its span.

* fix(skills): keep computer-use off filesystem and shell tasks

STA-7615: "On my desktop create a folder" was matching computer-use because
discovery copy said OS/window-level and neighboring skills advertised desktop UI.
Scope the trigger to visible GUI with no CLI path, and exclude files/folders/git/shell.

* fix(skills): prefer programmatic paths over computer-use

State the last-resort rule in discovery copy instead of enumerating
files/folders/git/shell. computer-use prefers shell, filesystem, git, HTTP,
CLIs, and Playwright/CDP; neighboring skills route to Computer Use only when
a visible window needs GUI control those cannot do.

* fix(skills): stop advertising computer-use from orchestration

Orchestration coordinates workers; it does not drive a GUI. Drop Computer Use
and Playwright/embedded-browser routing from its discovery description so
those tools are not pulled in from a coordination skill.

* fix(skills): drop Playwright from orca-cli discovery

orca-cli should not prescribe Playwright or CDP. Those tools may not be
installed, and page automation is not this skill's job.

* fix(skills): drop the page-only ban from computer-use discovery

Page automation is a preference, not a prohibition. If Playwright or CDP is
not available, a visible browser window is valid Computer Use. Keep the
hard split for Orca's embedded browser (`orca-cli`) only.

Jinwoo Hong 3631a1e77f feat(cli): show orca search now the settings toggle ships (#20677)
* feat(cli): orca search over the agent session index

`orca search <query>` calls PR 5's `aiVault.searchSessions` over the CLI's
existing runtime RPC, against the host `--environment` / `--pairing-code`
selects and no other. `orca search --index-status` calls `aiVault.searchStatus`.
It is the proof the contract works with no panel.

Every flag maps onto a contract field and nothing else: `--scope`, `--fresh`,
`--limit`, `--cursor`, repeatable `--agent` and `--path`, `--since`, `--sort`,
`--debug`, `--json`. No fan-out, no merged output, no `--host`.

One command rather than a `search status` subcommand: the query is a bare
positional, so `orca search status` could not be told apart from searching for
the word "status". `--status` is unavailable because `orchestration task-list
--status <state>` already owns the name as a valued flag.

No new runtime capability. PR 5 decided an explicit `method_not_found` refusal
maps to `unavailable/no-service`, so reusing `createSessionSearchClient` gives
an old host a plain "this host runs no session search service" answer at exit 0
instead of a raw JSON-RPC error.

`CommandSpec.repeatableFlags` scopes repeatability per command, because
`--agent` must repeat for search and stay single-valued for `worktree create`.
`help.ts` sat exactly at max-lines, so `skills-command-flag-help.ts` becomes
`command-scoped-flag-help.ts` carrying both tables at the same call-site size.

* refactor(cli): drop the search type assertions main's casting gate now rejects

Main gained a `consistent-type-assertions: never` scan in the changed-code gate
after this branch was cut, and it reported twelve assertions in the new files.

The four in the argument parser were avoidable. `readEnum` now keeps the value
`find` returns, which already carries the narrow type, and the agent filter goes
through an `isAiVaultAgent` predicate over a `Set<string>` instead of widening
the agent tuple.

The test now narrows the printed envelope by shape and re-reads the printed
result through `AiVaultSearchResponseSchema`, so the JSON assertions are checked
rather than claimed, and the flag table is typed so its callback needs no cast.
One assertion is left, for the structural fake client, with the SAFETY rationale
AGENTS.md requires.

* fix(cli): sanitize host strings and scope pre-command repeatable flags

Route every host-supplied string the search formatter prints through the
escape stripper, and resolve the repeatable-flag set from the command
tokens ahead when a flag sits before the command.

* refactor(cli): resolve repeatable flag rules once per command

* fix(cli): clarify session search availability and SSH scope

* feat(cli): hide orca search until the settings toggle ships

`orca search` stays dispatchable but leaves every discovery surface: root
help, group help, unknown-command suggestions, and `agent-context --json`.
`buildAgentContext` did not filter hidden specs, so it also stops leaking
the hidden `terminal stop`.

* feat(cli): show orca search now the settings toggle ships

* docs(skills): teach the orca-cli guide the search command

One section: what orca search covers, one host at a time, scope and
narrowing flags, index status before searching, and that a human turns
search on.

Jinwoo Hong 4b1b7178ad fix(orchestration): scope @ group addresses to the sender's Run (#19783)
* fix(orchestration): scope @ group addresses to the sender's Run

`@all`, `@idle`, and the agent-name groups (`@claude`, `@codex`, ...) resolved
against every terminal on the host. A coordinator meaning "my three reviewers"
reached 126 agents across every open project, twice in one day, and every
unrelated agent burned a turn discarding mail that was never for it.

Every group except `@worktree:<id>` now means the live Dispatches of the
sender's own Run, each addressed as `dispatch:<id>` so delivery is durable
even when the worker terminal is not attached yet. A sender bound to no Run is
refused with `invalid_argument` naming `run:<id>` / `dispatch:<id>`; there is
no host-wide fallback and the host's terminals are never enumerated for it.
`@idle` and the agent-name groups filter within that set by the same terminal
status and host-resolved identity as before. `ask --to @group` returns the
same code and points at the owning Run mailbox.

Federated Dispatches read relayed control mail rather than a local mailbox,
so a Run-scoped fan-out skips them with a `recipient_unreachable` warning
naming the direct `dispatch:<id>` address.

Group addresses are resolved host-side, so no RPC or stream shape changes; an
older CLI sending `@all` to a new host gets the Run-scoped meaning.

Claude-Session: run-scoped-group-addresses

* fix(orchestration): revalidate legacy takeover before the recipient verdict

A legacy coordinator taken over while `listTerminals` was in flight reported
`runtime_error` instead of `legacy_read_only`: Run scoping made "no live
Dispatch in this Run" the first thing the group send could fail on, and that
threw before the takeover check ran. Takeover is a precondition, not a
commit-time detail — the sender must be told it is read-only whatever else is
wrong with its recipient set.

Revalidation moves to immediately after the only `await` in the path.
Everything below it is synchronous, so the commit-time window it used to guard
is unchanged; only the error paths now see it.

The legacy partition test gave `term_current_worker` no Dispatch, so under Run
scoping it is correctly not a recipient. It now holds a real current-contract
Dispatch in the same adopted Run, which is what the test is named for: one
`legacy_direct` and one `current_delivery` recipient in one fan-out.

Claude-Session: run-scoped-group-addresses

* fix(orchestration): address the Run a nested coordinator created, not its parent

A nested coordinator is both a worker of its parent Run and the coordinator of
the Run it created. `resolveMessageRun` answers with the parent, correctly,
because that is where its own `worker_done` belongs — but audience is a
different question. Scoping `@all` to that Run sent a nested coordinator's
"shared context" to the siblings it was started beside instead of the workers
it started, and reported success, so it never learned its sub-workers heard
nothing. Before Run scoping the host-wide fan-out reached the sub-workers by
accident; this turned an over-broad delivery into a wrong-audience one, the
exact failure class the change exists to remove.

Group audience now resolves off the Run the sender coordinates, falling back
to its Dispatch's Run. A leaf worker coordinates nothing and is unaffected.
This is a separate question from `routing.run`, not a second answer to the
same one, so `resolveMessageRun` keeps its meaning for point-to-point mail.

Also: when every live Dispatch in a Run is federated, the fan-out skipped them
all and threw a bare `Error` that discarded the warnings naming those remote
workers and how to address each one. The sender was told "no recipients" while
three remote workers existed. That throw now carries a code and the skip
explanations.

Claude-Session: run-scoped-group-addresses

* docs(orchestration): say that no group address reaches a coordinator

A coordinator is not a Dispatch, so Run-scoped groups never include one. That
follows from the rule, but nothing said it, and the old host-wide meaning did
include the coordinator — a worker sending `@all` to raise a blocker would be
heard by its siblings and by nobody who can act. The guide, the CLI note, and
the docs page now say to use `run:<id>` for that, and that a worker which
created its own Run addresses that Run's workers.

Also restores the `@cursor` case dropped when the group tests moved: a Claude
pane titled "Fix the text cursor blink" must not receive Cursor's mail. That
hazard was recorded from real titles and `@droid` alone did not cover it.

Jinwoo Hong fb322046e8 skills: rewrite and trim the seven non-orchestration guides (#19128)
* skills: rewrite the seven non-orchestration guides to one outcome-first standard

Every guide leads with Result / Done / Safe failure, states conditions instead of case lists, keeps one done bar and one autonomy envelope, and loads references at the point of use via `skills get <topic> --full`. orca-cli drops from 424 to 260 always-loaded lines with three references; orca-per-workspace-env from 794 to 397 with five.

Defects fixed in shipped guides: `emulator camera` (no such command), iOS `permissions` (backend refuses it), Android pane described as in development, `relayGracePeriodSeconds: 0` documented as immediate teardown (it is unbounded), doctor `ok: true` hiding `warn`, an SSH exemplar setting both `jumpHost` and `proxyCommand`, a provisioned-root fetch from `origin`, and the Linear unconfirmed-write rule keyed on four verbs when ten emit it.

The resolver ladder, placeholder rule, and older-binary fallback shared by every installable SKILL.md now come from one skill-stubs/_shared/cli-resolution.md fragment composed by the generator, which also bundles per-guide references into --full. New guards: every ORCA invocation and flag resolves against COMMAND_SPECS, descriptions carry no angle-bracket tokens, reference routing is checked both ways, and an always-loaded size ratchet (300 lines) that guides may leave but never join.

* skills: address review on the SSH recipe and the parity guard

- ssh-host create script: route the bootstrap ssh through the chosen jump host or proxy command, refuse both at once, use StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new instead of a blind ssh-keyscan append, and pass gh_token/project_root/repo_url/repo_ref to the remote bash via printf %q so a quote in a value cannot break out of the command.
- per-workspace-env envelope: the step-10 workspace test the user asked for is no longer forbidden by the same paragraph.
- linear guides: name the full verb, ORCA linear list-issues.
- parity guard: a prefix reference such as ORCA linear --help or ORCA emulator --webcam now has its flags checked against every command under that prefix; only an exact path or an explicit ... was checked before.

* skills: tighten prose in the seven rewritten guides

Shorter outcome spines, one idea per sentence, no restated rationale after a rule. No rule, command, or pinned phrase changes; 47 net lines fewer across the guides and references.

* skills: route orca-cli and per-workspace-env gates through --reference

Both guides told agents to load --full at a gate because the per-reference
selector did not exist when they were written. Now that main serves
`skills get <topic> --reference references/<file>.md`, load only the
named file and keep --full as the fallback for an older CLI, matching the
orchestration kernel.

* skills: drop outcome-spine boilerplate from the CLI-wrapper guides

The Result/Done/Safe-failure preambles and Next Action closers restated
rules the body already carries. Agents stop fine without them, and for
a CLI wrapper the command surface is the guide. Keeps the one substantive
rule computer-use's Done block added (never report unverified as success)
inside Action Rules. orchestration and per-workspace-env keep theirs:
those are multi-step workflows where the done bar is load-bearing.

(cherry picked from commit 44a74baf73)

* skills: trim the guides and stubs to what agents actually need

- Drop the Result/Done/Safe-failure preambles and Next Action closers from
  the six CLI-wrapper guides; the one substantive rule (never report an
  unverified computer-use action as success) moves into Action Rules.
- Drop the 'guide may be stale, trust --help' lines: the guide is served by
  the binary that runs the commands, so it cannot be stale relative to it.
- Drop the status --json / open --json preflight from every guide; the stub
  no-guessing paragraph now says to start Orca only when a command reports
  it is not running.
- Cut the ORCA placeholder paragraph in each guide to one line that points
  back at the stub's resolution.
- Trim the orchestration, orca-cli, and computer-use descriptions to trigger
  phrases plus one line of scope.
- Remove the older-binary fallback section from every stub (and its two
  shared blocks); a binary without skills get gets one sentence.
- Remove the guide size ratchet test.
