 **What DeepAgent does:** Fork any conversation from a chosen message. The fork opens carrying the parent's memory up to that point, shows a full-width "derived from" marker at the top of its transcript, and nests folder-style under its origin in the session tree (subagents and forks alike, up to three levels deep). Knowledge flows up a scope hierarchy — what one session learns can be promoted to the whole project, and cross-project preferences live at the user-global layer — so switching windows is a clean handoff, not a reset.
 
-### Ask roughly, and let the agent sharpen it
+### Pick how much autonomy you want, per task
 
-**The need:** A half-formed prompt gets a half-useful answer, and you don't always know how to phrase what you want.
+**The need:** Some asks want a fast answer in your exact words; others want the agent to plan first, or to run on its own until the job is done. One fixed behavior can't serve all three.
 
-**What DeepAgent does:** Two scenario modes on the composer. **Direct** sends your prompt as-is — you own the wording. **Intelligence** refines a rough ask into a sharper prompt, surfaces a draft plan and decision suggestions, and waits for your confirmation before it automates anything. You decide how much the agent shapes the request.
+**What DeepAgent does:** Three modes on the composer. **Auto** decides how to plan and act on your request. **Design** explores the problem and proposes a design before building anything. **Loop** turns a request into a supervised goal the agent works toward autonomously — iterating plan → execute → verify until the criteria are met — while you stay in control. You choose the autonomy level per task, not once for the whole tool.

 **What DeepAgent does:** At higher work strengths the primary agent decomposes the task, fans it out to focused subagents that research modules in parallel, synthesizes their findings, and then runs independent reviewers whose job is to *break* the plan rather than agree with it. Fan-out is bounded by a configurable concurrency ceiling, and live subagents surface in a session side panel and inline in the transcript so you can watch and jump into any of them.
 
+### Set a goal and let it run — supervised, not unsupervised
+
+**The need:** Some work is a long haul — a migration, a green-the-suite push, a multi-step feature. You want to hand it off and walk away, but "walk away" can't mean "lose control."
+
+**What DeepAgent does:** Loop mode drives an autonomous goal loop against an objectively decidable finish line (tests pass, no diagnostics, reviewer clean, plan complete). It runs plan → execute → verify → iterate in the background, with hard ceilings on ticks, tokens, wall-clock, and cost so it can never run away. A status bar shows live progress; you can hot-edit the plan mid-run, pause and resume from exactly where it stopped, or take over — a takeover pauses autonomy escalation and hands control back to you. A goal with steps that need a human never reports "done"; it routes to you. Autonomy is a dial you hold, not a switch you flip and hope.
+
+### Get a second opinion that actually argues
+
+**The need:** For a high-stakes decision, one confident answer isn't enough — you want independent experts who see the same evidence, disagree, and defend their positions.
+
+**What DeepAgent does:** Convene an Expert Panel on the current conversation from the composer. Pick single-round for a quick multi-lens review, or multi-round for a real debate: panelists (correctness, security, design, …) each render a verdict, then see each other's *anonymized* opinions and revise across up to three rounds — identity stripped so nobody anchors on "the security expert said." An arbiter synthesizes the surviving verdict. Fan-out and rounds are bounded, and every opinion (including the losers') is archived. The panel convenes on demand, or a running goal loop can convene it at high-risk decision points.

 **Self-learning** — After work lands, the agent proposes candidate knowledge, facts, and methodologies. Promotion is evidence-gated (a test passed, a diagnostic cleared, a validation confirmed) and user-controllable — durable knowledge is carried over deliberately, not silently guessed. Session-stable conclusions consolidate into project memory over time, so the next session starts smarter about *your* codebase.
 
+**Supervised autonomy** — The goal loop, expert panel, and multi-agent fan-out run on an event-driven substrate with the guardrails autonomy needs: hard budget ceilings (ticks/tokens/wall-clock/cost), a stall detector that stops rather than spins, layered permission and safety gates that fail closed, human takeover that pauses escalation, and a full audit trail written back to the document graph. An Agent Dashboard surfaces task success rate, conflicts, and dead-letter events. Autonomy is bounded and observable by construction — never a black box you can't stop.

- * V3.9 §C — the Expert Panel toggle button for the composer toolbar.
+ * V4.0 §C — the Expert Panel control for the composer toolbar, as a THREE-STATE menu.
  *
- * Activation semantics (per the product spec):
- *   - Armed state is per-conversation, seeded from the global `expertPanelDefault` setting.
- *   - OFF → ON (user arms mid-conversation): immediately convene a panel on the CURRENT context and
- *     show the verdict, then go quiet ("等待唤醒") — no per-turn re-runs.
- *   - While ON, pressing again re-convenes on demand.
- *   - ON → OFF: disarm (no consult).
- * The button reflects armed state; a spinner-ish disabled state covers the in-flight consult.
+ * Clicking the button opens a menu with three mutually-exclusive choices (replaces the old
+ * Shift/Alt-click "deep convene" gesture with an explicit, discoverable control):
+ *   - Off            → disarm; icon NOT lit (ghost). No convene.
+ *   - Single-round   → arm + convene ONE round now; icon lit (primary).
+ *   - Multi-round    → arm + convene up to 3 anonymized debate rounds now (§C.4); icon lit (primary).
+ * Both Single and Multi light the icon (armed); only Off is unlit. The chosen depth PERSISTS per
+ * session (server-side), so re-convening later reuses it. Arm state seeds from the server's effective
+ * status (explicit toggle, else global `expertPanelDefault`).

+//                 Oversight "Event Trace" view renders: event → route → agent run → coordination → …).
+//   §F1 Metrics — compute the §F1 counters over a time window (DLQ total, push-rejected-by-reason,
+//                 agent-task success rate, conflict rate) for the Agent Dashboard.
+//
+// LAYERING: `core`. Pure reads — no dispatch/session. The HTTP/Oversight layer (deepagent-code) calls
+// this and renders. Latency histograms (event_publish_latency_ms / event_to_agent_start_ms) ARE computed
+// here now that the bus records publish_latency_ms on each row and agent.task.started carries the
+// triggering event's id as causationID — nearest-rank percentiles over the window, workspace-scoped.

+//               activity: the Multi-Agent / event runner stamps `metadata.correlationID` on the session it

+// The integration wiring (which OWNS multi-agent-runtime.ts) provides a SecurityResolvers.Service and

+//
+// For layer 1, since layerWith's `trustedSources` is a static array (not per-event), the wiring either
+// (a) resolves sec.resolveTrustedSources(workspaceID) once for a single-workspace runtime and passes the
+// array, or (b) the runtime is extended (integration's call, not this track's) to resolve it per-event.
+// Note `capability` for layer 4: the runtime's `runtimeAllowed` signature is (event, agent) with no
+// capability; the coarse pre-gate here still functions on the agent's declared whitelist, and the
+// wiring may close over the subtask capability when it has it. Fine-grained per-tool enforcement remains

+/**
+ * V4.0 §A1 — BUILT-IN production agent descriptors that carry the trigger +
+ * capability metadata the autonomous event path needs.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS EXISTS: the core `AgentListProviderImpl` maps every AgentV2.Info to a
+ * descriptor WITHOUT any V3.8.1 metadata (AgentV2.Info has no triggers/capabilities
+ * — see agent-list-provider.ts). So `matchByTrigger`/`capableAgents` never matched
+ * ANY agent for an autonomous event (git.push / ci.failure / pr.comment /
+ * monitor.alert / schedule.scan / ci.repair.requested) → every such event blocked
+ * with `no_capable_agent` → the autonomous half never ran. These descriptors give
+ * the runtime something real to bind.
+ *
+ * HOW THEY RUN: each built-in's `name` is a REAL, resolvable agent the runner's
+ * `agents.get(descriptor.name)` will find:
+ *   - "auto"    — the renamed default primary agent (agent.ts defaultID; the Agent
+ *                 service also falls back to the legacy "build" name).
+ *   - "general" — the general-purpose agent (agent/agent.ts registers `general`).
+ *   - "plan"    — the read-only plan agent (agent/agent.ts registers `plan`).
+ * The descriptor is METADATA only — it decides matchability + carries the
+ * autonomy/limits ceilings; the actual turn runs as the named agent.
+ *
+ * MATCHABLE-BUT-HIDDEN: `visible: false` keeps them out of the human @mention UI
+ * (agent-orchestrator filters on `visible`) while the pure matchers
+ * (matchByTrigger/matchByCapability/capableAgents — which ignore `visible`) still
+ * find them. These built-ins ONLY make an agent MATCHABLE; the §D autonomy gate and
+ * the §E security gate still apply on top, so autonomy stays conservative
+ * (diagnose/review = level_1 read-only; code_edit = level_2 low-risk).
+ *
+ * Capabilities cover every TaskPartitioner DEFAULT_RULES step so no autonomous
+ * event falls through to `no_capable_agent`:
+ *   ci.failure          → code_edit (level_2) + test_run (level_2)
+ *   ci.repair.requested → code_edit (level_2) + test_run (level_2)
+ *   pr.comment          → analyze (level_1) + code_edit (level_2) + review (level_1)
+ *   monitor.alert       → diagnose (level_1) + code_edit (level_2)
+ *   git.push            → review (level_1)
+ *   schedule.scan       → maintain (level_1)
+ * Each of those capabilities is declared by at least one built-in below. (The
+ * partitioner's rules for git.push/schedule.scan/ci.repair.requested were added
+ * alongside these built-ins — an event with no rule falls back to the generic
+ * `handle` capability, which no built-in declares, so a matching rule is REQUIRED.)

+//
+// IDEMPOTENCY: two layers guard against double-convening on re-delivery (retry pump / crash recovery):
+//   1. Before convening, we check the durable log for an already-published `panel.verdict` whose
+//      causationID is THIS event's id (a started-guard, mirroring MultiAgentRuntime's
+//      `agent.task.started` check). If one exists, the panel already ran → ack, don't re-convene.
+//   2. Belt-and-suspenders: the published verdict carries a deterministic idempotencyKey
+//      `panel:<event.id>`, so even a racing re-publish is a bus-level no-op (never a second verdict,
+//      never a second Approval-Queue enqueue via UNIQUE(event_id)).
+//

+// P2.9 shipped file-locks + code-graph symbol arbitration but DEFERRED physical branch/worktree
+// isolation ("locks+arbiter give the safety without separate worktrees"). This module is that deferred
+// half: it gives each concurrent event-driven agent subtask its OWN git worktree on its OWN branch, so
+// two agents editing the same repo genuinely operate on separate working trees (complementing — not
+// replacing — the P2.9 locks + P2.9 conflict arbiter).
+//
+// It is a self-contained git-CLI helper (Bun.spawn, mirroring git-groundtruth.ts) rather than the
+// Worktree.Service: that service is InstanceState-bound + project-sandbox-registered + persisted under
+// Global.Path.data (built for long-lived, user-visible worktrees), whereas these are EPHEMERAL, per-turn,
+// temp-dir worktrees created + torn down inside one dispatch turn — and the SubagentTurnRunner effect has
+// no service (R) channel to require a service through.
+//
+// FAIL-SAFE CONTRACT: createAgentWorktree returns null on ANY failure (not a git repo, git missing, add
+// failed) — the caller then FALLS BACK to running in the event directory (the prior behavior), never
+// failing the turn. cleanupAgentWorktree preserves the agent's work: uncommitted changes are committed to
+// the branch (so results are recoverable) BEFORE the working dir is removed; a branch with committed work

+// V4.0 §A4 — the Event Router + Scheduler RUNTIME WIRING (Wave 2b). This is the deepagent-code half
+// that core (event-router.ts / scheduler.ts) deliberately cannot be: it reads feature flags, resolves
+// the permission-filtered agent registry, drives the bus subscription, and runs the scheduler tick
+// loop. The pure decision (route) and durable state (schedule rows) stay in core; this module is the
+// only place the two touch RuntimeFlags, the agent registry, and — via an injected DispatchPort — the
+// session runtime.
+//
+// DISPATCH BOUNDARY: this service does NOT itself drive a session. When `route` returns `dispatch` it
+// hands the (event, targets, priority) to a `DispatchPort`. The real port — which starts/queues an
+// agent turn per target — is assembled by the Multi-Agent Runtime (Wave 3). Until then the default
+// port is observe-only (logs the decision), so turning the flags on before Wave 3 lands can route +
+// trace WITHOUT actually executing an agent. This mirrors goal-loop-wiring's StepExecutor port.

+//   2. for each subtask: bind a capable agent, apply the §D autonomy gate and §E1 four-layer security
+//      gate (both pure, fail-closed) — a subtask that fails a gate is skipped/blocked, never executed.
+//   3. §C3 arbitrate conflicting claims (ConflictArbiter, pure) so two admitted subtasks never edit the
+//      same files/symbols concurrently — the loser is deferred.
+//   4. drive the winning subtask through the injected SubagentTurnRunner (the SAME one-turn runner the
+//      goal loop uses — it creates a permission-derived child session; the runtime never elevates).

+// `goal.completed` and archives the execution trajectory as a Wiki page — but until now NOTHING
+// published `session.completed`, so the archiver was dead in prod. `goal.completed` already rides the
+// bus (goal-manager.ts); this closes the symmetric gap for a plain session.
+//
+// WHY A STANDALONE BRIDGE (not a publish inside prompt.ts): archival must be DECOUPLED from the session
+// loop (that is the whole point of §L moving the trigger to the bus). This service subscribes to the
+// EXISTING end-of-turn signal — the `session.status` EventV2 the runner already emits when a session
+// goes idle after a turn (run-state.ts onIdle → SessionStatus.set → publish Event.Status) — and
+// republishes it as a V4 `session.completed` DeepAgentEvent. It invents NO new completion concept and
+// touches no hot file; it is pure bus→bus glue merged alongside the other V4 daemons.
+//
+// GRANULARITY — two problems, two guards:
+//
+//  (1) ROOT sessions only: the idle signal fires for EVERY session, including subagent/child sessions
+//      (task tool, panelists, goal steps). Archiving each child would spam the archiver with partial
+//      traces. We gate to ROOT sessions (parentID == null): the archiver already reaches every
+//      run-scoped graph the root spawned (session-archive.ts openWikiGraph walks the session's runs/).
+//
+//  (2) ONE-PER-EXECUTION, not per-turn (DEBOUNCE/COALESCE): an INTERACTIVE root session goes idle after
+//      EVERY turn — a 20-turn conversation fires `session.idle` 20 times. Publishing `session.completed`
+//      on each would re-project the whole execution trace 20 times. A per-idle idempotencyKey does NOT
+//      fix this (each idle is a distinct completion instant → distinct key → 20 rows); it only dedupes
+//      RE-DELIVERY of ONE idle. So instead we DEBOUNCE per session: each idle (re)arms a quiet-window
+//      timer; only after the session stays idle for `debounceMs` (no new turn) does ONE
+//      `session.completed` publish, carrying the session's LATEST state (resolved at fire time). A burst
+//      of turns collapses to one archive; a genuinely separate later completion (after another quiet
+//      window) re-archives the then-current final state — so the archiver reflects the FINAL trajectory,
+//      not a frozen first-turn snapshot (which a pure per-session idempotencyKey would lock in). The

+// V4.1 §S1.1 — the durable mid-turn STEER buffer.
+//
+// REUSE-VS-NEW: the core `SessionInput` model (packages/core/src/session/input.ts) already has a
+// steer data model (Delivery="steer", admit/promoteSteers). It is NOT reused directly because it is
+// fully EVENT-SOURCED: `admit` publishes a `PromptLifecycle.Admitted` event and rows only land via the
+// `SessionProjector` — a pipeline that is dormant in the live product (deepagent-code wires
+// `SessionExecution.noopLayer` and gates the V2 event system behind `experimentalEventSystem`, default
+// OFF). Worse, `promoteSteers` materializes into the V2 `session_message` store consumed by the
+// dormant V2 runner's `entriesForRunner` — a DIFFERENT history store than the LIVE loop, which reads
+// the V1 `MessageTable` via `MessageV2.filterCompactedEffect`. Reusing it would force activating the
+// forbidden event system AND target the wrong history. So this is a clean, PLAIN durable buffer:
+// direct row writes to `session_steer` (survives process restart mid-goal), reusing only the neutral
+// `Prompt` payload schema and `Delivery` literal from core. Drained steers are persisted as ordinary
+// V1 user messages by the runLoop (prompt.ts), landing at the tail of real history — cache-safe.
+//
+// EXACTLY-ONCE MATERIALIZATION (no loss, no duplicate). Draining a steer into history is a
+// PERSIST-FIRST protocol split across two service calls the runLoop orchestrates in order:
+//   1. `pending(sessionID)` — a NON-consuming read of the ordered pending steers.
+//   2. runLoop persists each as a V1 user message keyed by the steer's OWN id (idempotent upsert).
+//   3. `markConsumed(...)` — stamp those rows consumed.
+// This deliberately AVOIDS the earlier stamp-then-persist ordering, which had a permanent-loss window:
+// a crash after the stamp commit but before the message was materialized would leave the steer marked
+// consumed yet never in history — the user's steering message lost forever. With persist-first, a
+// crash between steps 2 and 3 leaves the row still pending; the next drain re-persists (a no-op upsert
+// on the same message id — see prompt.ts drainSteers, which keys the message AND its text part by the
+// steer id) and then stamps. At-least-once persist + idempotent upsert = exactly-once materialization,
+// and `markConsumed`'s `consumed_seq IS NULL` guard keeps it consume-once against a concurrent drain.

+// V4.0 §B2/§L/§M — the SUPERVISOR NOTIFIER: the PRODUCTION caller of AgentPush.push.
+//
+// The §B2 push stack (policy gate, rate-limit, quiet-hours, content-safety, audit log) was fully built
+// and tested but had NO production caller (v4.0beta_review §6 / §10 P2.8) — so nothing ever proactively
+// pushed and `agent_push_rejected_total` read empty. This service is that caller. It subscribes to the
+// Event Bus and, for every event that represents a TERMINAL outcome needing human attention (the SAME
+// vocabulary the §D2 Approval Queue folds — agent.task.needs_human, goal.needs_human, goal.rolled_back,
+// and a panel.verdict whose decision is needs_human), it PROACTIVELY pushes a notification into the
+// workspace's IM group(s) via AgentPush.push. So a human supervisor is told "a run needs you" in IM,
+// through the full §B2 policy gate, in addition to the Approval-Queue row the panel/runtime already writes.
+//
+// WHY THIS CALLER (not multi-agent-runtime.ts / panel-convene-consumer.ts): those are P2.9 / P2.7 hot
+// files. A STANDALONE bus subscriber is the lowest-conflict, most natural producer of a supervisor-facing
+// notification — §L §M explicitly say wiki/knowledge/panel/oversight events push to IM (docs §B/§L). It
+// reuses the existing `shouldQueueForApproval` vocabulary rather than inventing a new trigger, so it can
+// never drift from what the Approval Queue considers human-facing. It touches none of the P2 hot files.
+//
+// AUTHORIZATION: the push is authored by a SYSTEM pusher identity holding WORKSPACE PUSH PERMISSION —
+// the §B2 policy's second authorization leg ("group member OR workspace push permission"). The notifier
+// IS the runtime, so it legitimately holds workspace push permission; it need not be seeded as a member
+// of every group. Quiet-hours, rate-limit and content-safety still apply (they run after the perm gate).
+//
+// DELIVERY DISCHARGE (§A3 at-least-once): grouped subscriber → `publish` records a durable `pending`
+// delivery row per owed event. Every terminal path acks; only a transient push-runtime error nacks (the
+// retry pump re-drives it). AgentPush's idempotencyKey (`notify:<eventID>:<groupID>`) makes a re-drive a
+// no-op, so at-least-once never double-delivers.
+//
+// FLAG-GATED: v4AgentPushEnabled (default OFF). Off ⇒ the subscription still acks (discharges deliveries)
+// but pushes NOTHING — inert, byte-identical to pre-§B2 behavior. AgentPush.push itself also fail-closes
+// on the flag, so this is belt-and-suspenders.
+//
+// LAYERING: `deepagent-code`. Bridges the bus (core) to the AgentPush runtime (deepagent-code).

- *
- * promoteToWiki is the human "pin → governed knowledge page" step (§B.2 / §B.6): the archive is
- * read-only by default; a human promotes it into a governed KNOWLEDGE page through the evidence-gate.
- * We reuse the EXISTING knowledge governance pipeline (DurableKnowledgeStore.stageCandidate → human
- * approve), which is exactly the promote/reject path the Review UI already drives — knowledge is
- * ALWAYS staged as a candidate first (DAP-8) and only a human flips it active. The injected
- * `WikiEditGate` is the evidence-gate check applied before staging; a rejection surfaces as
- * `GateRejectedError`, never a silent write.
- *
- * archiveId == sessionId: the archive is a PURE projection of the run:<sessionId> subgraph (no
- * independent storage, §B.1), so it is fully rebuildable and needs no separate id space.
