+# Native Agent orchestration
+
+T3 Agents are a provider-neutral orchestration layer built from existing T3 primitives. A child is an ordinary durable thread with a pinned profile revision; it is not a provider-native subagent. Providers only need to expose the capability declarations and accept the T3 MCP server already injected at their adapter boundary.
+
+## Small model
+
+The system has four durable concepts:
+
+1. An **Agent profile** is policy: model selection, instructions, runtime/workspace/tool policy, delegation allowlist, Rules, hooks, requirements, and budgets.
+2. An **AgentRun** is a pure state machine for one child execution. Its append-only events and projection are separate from the child thread's existing orchestration history.
+3. A **profile snapshot** stores the exact document body keyed by its SHA-256 revision before execution.
+4. A thread stores an optional pinned profile reference. Root and child turns use the same prompt-resolution path.
+
+Project profiles and Rules are explicit `t3.json` references. The catalog never recursively scans a repository. Environment documents live under the server's own state directory. Catalog list calls read frontmatter only; bodies load when editing or compiling a prompt.
+
+`chatSelectable` is presentation policy, not execution authorization. Web and mobile omit delegation-only profiles from new top-level chat choices, while the server catalog and `agent_list` retain them for orchestration. A currently pinned profile remains visible in its existing thread so changing the setting never disguises active state.
+
+## Turn and run flow
+
+```text
+thread.turn.start
+  → resolve pinned profile snapshot
+  → match Rules and run promptBuild hooks
+  → compile a provider-portable prompt
+  → provider session receives the turn
+  → model calls T3 MCP agent_spawn
+  → validate delegation, provider guarantees, workspace, and lineage budget
+  → persist AgentRun request and profile snapshot
+  → create/start an ordinary child thread
+  → provider runtime events advance AgentRun
+  → agent_wait wakes on durable revision advance
+  → agent_result returns bounded messages/diff/usage
+  → optional isolated patch integration
+```
+
+The portable prompt has a version marker so a child task already compiled with handoff and lineage context is not wrapped twice.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- Maximum depth is 4, concurrency is 8, runs per lineage are 32, and wall time is 120 minutes.
+- Child budgets are clamped to the parent budget.
+- A profile allowlist requires exact native tool-policy enforcement; prompt-only claims are rejected.
+- Selected profile revisions are immutable for a thread/run. Compare-and-swap writes prevent lost updates.
+- Project paths are canonicalized and re-contained after symlink resolution.
+- `agent_wait` subscribes before its durable read and uses revision cursors, avoiding races and polling.
+- Repository dispatch replays only the target lineage, never all historical runs.
+- Shared writes are bounded by profile policy. Isolated integration preflights repository identity, target cleanliness, untracked files, and patch applicability before mutation.
+
+## Provider boundary
+
+Every adapter declares Agent runtime capabilities: MCP injection, instruction delivery, native tool-policy enforcement, token usage, and monetary cost. Compatibility is deny-by-default when a declaration is absent. Orchestration and clients do not switch on provider kind.
+
+Adding a future provider therefore requires an honest capability declaration and the normal MCP injection path, not a new Agent implementation.
+
+## Multi-surface and remote behavior
+
+Catalog and mutation operations are typed WebSocket RPCs scoped by environment authorization. Profile bodies are not broadcast in the orchestration snapshot. Web and mobile query the catalog on demand, while desktop inherits the web surface. Child threads, runs, and results live on the host server, so relay, tunnel, and LAN clients see the same state.
+
+## Persistence
+
+AgentRun commands are decided against replayed lineage state, appended transactionally, then projected in the same transaction. Provider events drive lifecycle transitions through a reactor. The child thread remains authoritative for conversation content and checkpoint diffs; AgentRun stores coordination state and usage rather than duplicating the transcript.

+# Agents
+
+Agents are reusable orchestration profiles. A profile gives a model a role, instructions, a default model, permissions, tools, rules, hooks, delegation limits, and a work budget. The model in the main chat can then launch other profiles as child agents without depending on provider-specific subagent features.
+
+## Create a profile
+
+Open **Settings → Agents**, choose an environment or project, and select **New profile**.
+
+- Environment profiles are available to every project hosted by that environment.
+- Project profiles belong to one project and can be checked into the repository with its `t3.json` configuration.
+- A profile's model may come from any configured provider instance. The parent and child do not need to use the same provider.
+
+New profiles start in **Auto** runtime mode. Choose a more permissive mode explicitly when the work requires it; existing profiles keep their configured mode when edited.
+
+The profile editor exposes conservative limits. One orchestration lineage can have at most 32 runs, 8 concurrent runs, 4 delegation levels, and 120 minutes of wall time. A child can lower a parent's remaining budget but cannot raise it.
+
+Archive hides a profile without deleting its document. Archived profiles can be restored.
+
+Enable **Show in chat Agent picker** for profiles users should be able to start directly. Turn it off for planners, reviewers, or other specialists that should only be launched through another Agent's delegation policy. This setting changes discovery in chat only; it does not disable the profile or remove it from an orchestrator's allowlist.
+
+## Use an Agent in chat
+
+After at least one chat-selectable profile exists, an **Agent** picker appears beside the model picker. Select the orchestration profile for the thread, then send normally. The selected revision is pinned to the thread so an edit made later cannot silently change work already in progress.
+
+The selected model receives the profile instructions, matching Rules, hook context, and the T3 Agent tools. It can:
+
+- list allowed profiles;
+- start child agents asynchronously;
+- inspect status and paginated results;
+- wait for progress without polling;
+- send a follow-up, cancel a run, or integrate isolated work.
+
+Child work appears as ordinary durable T3 threads. It remains visible from another browser, desktop client, or mobile client connected to the same environment.
+
+## Shared and isolated workspaces
+
+**Shared** agents work in the invoking thread's workspace. Use a low shared-write concurrency when several writers could touch the same files.
+
+**Isolated worktree** agents get a separate Git worktree. When they finish, the parent can review the result and integrate the tracked patch. Integration stops safely when the target is dirty, the repositories differ, the patch conflicts, or the child created untracked files. Resolve those conditions explicitly instead of letting T3 guess.
+
+## Rules
+
+Rules are reusable instruction documents. A Rule can always apply, match workspace-relative file globs, or be attached explicitly to selected profiles. Matching is deterministic by scope, then priority and id.
+
+File-aware matching uses files explicitly attached or mentioned in the task. Always-apply and profile-attached Rules do not require a file mention.
+
+## Provider compatibility
+
+Agents use T3-owned MCP tools and ordinary T3 threads, so orchestration is not tied to Codex, Grok, Claude, Cursor, or OpenCode. Each provider adapter declares what it can enforce. T3 refuses a spawn when a profile asks for a guarantee the selected provider cannot provide, such as exact native tool restriction, required system-level instructions, or unavailable token/cost accounting.
+
+This also keeps future providers honest: a new adapter is unsupported for strict Agent requirements until it declares those capabilities.
+
+## Hooks and safety
+
+Context hooks read a bounded workspace-relative file. Shell hooks run at a named lifecycle stage with a timeout and bounded output. Each hook either blocks the operation on failure or records a warning.
+
+Project documents and hook paths are contained within the project root. Profile saves use revision checks, so two clients cannot silently overwrite one another.
