 # durable
 
+## Classes
+
+### FileObserverJournal
+
+Durable, append-only third-person history for one concrete Runtime execution.
+It consumes Runtime's existing hook stream and does not participate in execution
+decisions. A broken observer therefore cannot change what an agent is allowed to do.
+
+The write discipline deliberately matches `FileSpawnJournal`: serialized appends,
+torn-tail recovery, short-write handling, and fsync before acknowledgement. One
+execution owns one journal file; higher-level pursuit aggregation joins isolated
+journals by `pursuitId` instead of making independent processes share a write head.

-### deriveExecutionId()
+### PursuitNodeProjection
 
-> **deriveExecutionId**(`input`): `string`
+#### Properties
 
-Derive a stable execution id from the run identity.
-The same `(projectId, sessionId, turnIndex)` tuple yields the same id.
+##### id
 
-Use the result as both `PromptOptions.executionId` and
-`PromptOptions.turnId` on the first dispatch.
-The execution id addresses the server-side execution for reconnect and
-replay; the turn id makes a repeated dispatch idempotent.
-An execution id alone does not make a repeated POST idempotent.
+> `readonly` **id**: `string`
 
-Format is readable, not hashed: operators grepping orchestrator logs
-for `gtm-agent:thread-abc:3` find the run without translating an
-opaque id. Components are URL-encoded so delimiters inside caller ids
-cannot collapse distinct tuples. The final id is limited to the
-orchestrator replay route's 256-byte maximum. Execution ids are not a
-secrecy boundary.
+##### parentId?
 
-Wire integration:
-  - Initial dispatch: pass the result as `executionId` and `turnId`.
-  - Stream replay: pass it as `executionId` with `lastEventId`.
+> `readonly` `optional` **parentId?**: `string`
 
-#### Parameters
+##### runId
 
-##### input
+> `readonly` **runId**: `string`
 
-###### projectId
+Node ids are scoped to this concrete Runtime tree; `(runId,id)` is identity.
 
-`string`
+##### label?
 
-###### sessionId
+> `readonly` `optional` **label?**: `string`
 
-`string`
+##### runtime?
 
-###### turnIndex
+> `readonly` `optional` **runtime?**: `string`
 
-`number`
+##### depth?
 
-#### Returns
+> `readonly` `optional` **depth?**: `number`
 
-`string`
+##### assignmentId?
 
-#### Throws
+> `readonly` `optional` **assignmentId?**: `string`
 
-`TypeError` when either string id is blank.
+##### identity?
 
-#### Throws
+> `readonly` `optional` **identity?**: `unknown`
 
-`RangeError` when `turnIndex` is invalid or the result exceeds 256 bytes.
+##### budget?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **budget?**: `unknown`

+
+#### Properties
+
+##### pursuitId
+
+> `readonly` **pursuitId**: `string`
+
+Stable objective identity spanning concrete Runtime runs.
+
+##### runDir
+
+> `readonly` **runDir**: `string`
+
+One concrete Runtime execution owns one durable directory and observer journal.
+A pursuit spanning several runs reuses `pursuitId` across distinct `runDir`s;
+Intelligence joins those isolated projections without a shared write head.
+
+###### Overrides
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`runDir`](runtime.md#rundir-1)
+
+##### budget
+
+> `readonly` **budget**: [`Budget`](index.md#budget-4)
+
+The conserved compute pool for the whole run.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`budget`](runtime.md#budget-15)
+
+##### rootHandle?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **rootHandle?**: [`RootHandle`](runtime.md#roothandle-1)\<`unknown`\>
+
+Caller-created live handle for observing, steering, or cancelling this root manager. Runtime
+attaches it before execution and detaches it after the join barrier.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`rootHandle`](runtime.md#roothandle)
+
+##### signal?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **signal?**: `AbortSignal`
+
+Caller-owned cancellation for the complete recursive run. Aborting it cascades through the
+root scope and every live child, including acquisition and backend execution.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`signal`](runtime.md#signal-21)
+
+##### execution?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **execution?**: [`AgentExecutionRef`](runtime.md#agentexecutionref)
+
+Trusted candidate and pursuit attribution for the root. The runtime derives profile/task
+digests itself from the exact detached values it executes.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`execution`](runtime.md#execution-1)
+
+##### backend?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **backend?**: [`ExecutorConfig`](runtime.md#executorconfig)
+
+WHERE workers run — derives the worker seam. Provide this OR an explicit `makeWorkerAgent`.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`backend`](runtime.md#backend-4)
+
+##### deliverable?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **deliverable?**: `string` \| [`DeliverableSpec`](runtime.md#deliverablespec)\<`unknown`\>
+
+The independent completion check for backend-derived workers and direct supervisor
+ submissions. Strongly recommended: without it the supervisor cannot submit its own work and
+ backend-derived workers fall back to their own validity signal. A `string` names an entry in
+ `registry.deliverables`.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`deliverable`](runtime.md#deliverable-4)
+
+##### resolveDeliverable?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **resolveDeliverable?**: (`input`) => [`DeliverableSpec`](runtime.md#deliverablespec)\<`unknown`\> \| `undefined`
+
+Resolve the completion check for one exact authorized backend-derived leaf. The callback runs
+after spawn authorization and driver classification, receives a detached immutable context,
+and may return `undefined` to use the run-wide `deliverable`. Driver profiles never call it.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+###### input
+
+[`AuthorizedSpawnContext`](runtime.md#authorizedspawncontext)
+
+###### Returns
+
+[`DeliverableSpec`](runtime.md#deliverablespec)\<`unknown`\> \| `undefined`
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`resolveDeliverable`](runtime.md#resolvedeliverable)
+
+##### registry?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **registry?**: [`SuperviseRegistry`](runtime.md#superviseregistry)
+
+Name→value tables for the four code-valued options, so a recorded run configuration can name
+ them instead of carrying closures. See [SuperviseRegistry](runtime.md#superviseregistry).
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`registry`](runtime.md#registry-3)
+
+##### coordination?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **coordination?**: [`CoordinationBinding`](runtime.md#coordinationbinding)
+
+Where the coordination MCP binds when the supervisor is harness-driven. Omit = an ephemeral
+ port on `127.0.0.1`, which an off-host root cannot reach. A non-loopback host is refused
+ unless `allowUnauthenticatedRemote` acknowledges that the verbs are unauthenticated.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`coordination`](runtime.md#coordination)
+
+##### makeWorkerAgent?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **makeWorkerAgent?**: [`MakeWorkerAgent`](runtime.md#makeworkeragent)
+
+Override the worker seam directly (tests / advanced) instead of deriving it from `backend`.
+ This is caller-owned execution: profile security, spawn authorization, and recursive-driver
+ selection below apply only to the backend-derived worker path. `authorizeMessage` still
+ governs continuations sent through Runtime's coordination tools.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`makeWorkerAgent`](runtime.md#makeworkeragent-2)
+
+##### driverBackend?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **driverBackend?**: [`ExecutorConfig`](runtime.md#executorconfig)
+
+Run harness-brained supervisors here. Automatic execution supports a local `bridge`; a remote
+ sandbox requires an explicit `driveHarness` with a reachable coordination relay or tunnel.
+ Defaults to `backend`; separate it when managers and workers use different services.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`driverBackend`](runtime.md#driverbackend-1)
+
+##### profileSecurity?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **profileSecurity?**: `AgentProfileSecurityPolicy`
+
+Security policy applied to every manager-authored child profile before budget reservation.
+ The default blocks local and remote MCP, hooks, and connection grants. Pass an explicit
+ allowlist to grant remote MCP hosts or other author-controlled capabilities.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`profileSecurity`](runtime.md#profilesecurity)
+
+##### authorizeSpawn?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **authorizeSpawn?**: (`input`) => [`AuthorizedSpawn`](runtime.md#authorizedspawn)
+
+Product authority over one complete manager-authored spawn. The callback sees the detached,
+ immutable profile, task, budget, label, and key together, so approving a profile cannot
+ authorize a different task. Return the exact allowed profile (which may be narrowed) plus
+ trusted candidate/pursuit attribution, or throw to refuse the whole spawn before reservation.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+###### input
+
+###### profile
+
+`AgentProfile`
+
+###### parent
+
+`AgentProfile`
+
+###### parentIdentity
+
+[`NodeExecutionIdentity`](runtime.md#nodeexecutionidentity)
+
+Trusted identity of the manager authorizing this exact child.
+
+###### parentNodeId
+
+`string`
+
+Concrete manager node; never accepted from model-authored tool arguments.
+
+###### assignmentId
+
+`string`
+
+Stable manager-scoped assignment, including deterministic unkeyed siblings.
+
+###### task
+
+`unknown`
+
+###### budget
+
+[`Budget`](index.md#budget-4)
+
+###### label

+[`AuthorizedSpawn`](runtime.md#authorizedspawn)
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`authorizeSpawn`](runtime.md#authorizespawn)
+
+##### authorizeMessage?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **authorizeMessage?**: (`input`) => [`AuthorizedDownMessage`](runtime.md#authorizeddownmessage)
+
+Product authority over every continuation sent to a live child. When spawn authorization is
+enabled, omitting this refuses steer/answer instructions instead of silently extending the
+authorized task. The exact worker identity and detached bytes are recorded before delivery.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+###### input
+
+[`DownMessageAuthorizationInput`](runtime.md#downmessageauthorizationinput) & `object`
+
+###### Returns
+
+[`AuthorizedDownMessage`](runtime.md#authorizeddownmessage)
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`authorizeMessage`](runtime.md#authorizemessage-1)
+
+##### isDriverProfile?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **isDriverProfile?**: (`input`) => `boolean`
+
+Decide whether an authorized child becomes another supervisor. By default only
+ `metadata.role === 'driver'` does. Products receive the same frozen post-authorization
+ context as `resolveDeliverable`, so trusted execution/assignment authority can override
+ model-authored metadata without a side channel.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+###### input
+
+[`AuthorizedSpawnContext`](runtime.md#authorizedspawncontext)
+
+###### Returns
+
+`boolean`
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`isDriverProfile`](runtime.md#isdriverprofile)
+
+##### router?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **router?**: [`RouterTransportConfig`](runtime.md#routertransportconfig)
+
+The supervisor's router substrate (`profile.harness` omitted or `cli-base`). The profile's
+ model wins.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`router`](runtime.md#router-5)
+
+##### driveHarness?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **driveHarness?**: [`DriveHarness`](runtime.md#driveharness-1)
+
+Run an external-harness supervisor explicitly. Required for a remote sandbox; optional as a
+ caller-owned override for a local bridge.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`driveHarness`](runtime.md#driveharness)
+
+##### driverRetry?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **driverRetry?**: [`DriverRetryPolicy`](runtime.md#driverretrypolicy)
+
+How hard a transiently-failed EXTERNAL driver is re-entered before the run ends
+`driver-failed`. A harness process SIGKILLed at a bridge timeout, a stream cut mid-turn, or an
+upstream 5xx used to end a run of arbitrary length while its budget and deadline sat almost
+untouched (#741). A retry re-enters the driver over the SAME scope, coordination server, and
+live children; the bridge backend reattaches the harness session by its durable execution id.
+
+Runtime's own refusals (a validation guard, an exhausted budget, an abort, a client-side
+transport status) are never retried — they were decisions. Retries stop at the budget, the
+deadline, an abort, or a run of attempts that changed nothing at all.
+
+Omit = retry under the defaults. `{ enabled: false }` = the historical behavior where the first
+driver failure ends the run. Applies to the root manager and every recursive manager under it.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`driverRetry`](runtime.md#driverretry)
+
+##### onDriverAttempt?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **onDriverAttempt?**: (`record`) => `void` \| `Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+Per-attempt record for every external driver in the tree — what makes "failed after N
+ attempts, last cause X" visible instead of one backend's last words.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+###### record
+
+[`DriverAttemptRecord`](runtime.md#driverattemptrecord)
+
+###### Returns
+
+`void` \| `Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`onDriverAttempt`](runtime.md#ondriverattempt)
+
+##### childSettleGraceMs?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **childSettleGraceMs?**: `number`
+
+How long live children may keep running after the ROOT DRIVER FAILED, before the join barrier
+cascades the abort into them. A root that died did not make its children unhealthy: a child
+mid-unit holds work already paid for, and an immediate cascade discards everything it has not
+yet written. Bounded by the run's own deadline. Omit/`0` = immediate teardown.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`childSettleGraceMs`](runtime.md#childsettlegracems)
+
+##### resolveDriveHarness?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **resolveDriveHarness?**: [`ResolveDriveHarness`](runtime.md#resolvedriveharness-1)
+
+Resolve one custom external-harness session per trusted manager identity. Use this instead of
+`driveHarness` when recursive managers must be independently steerable.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`resolveDriveHarness`](runtime.md#resolvedriveharness)
+
+##### driveHarnessMaterialization?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **driveHarnessMaterialization?**: [`ProfileMaterializationContract`](agent.md#profilematerializationcontract)
+
+Required with a custom `driveHarness` or `resolveDriveHarness`: declares which complete
+AgentProfile axes that path really applies. Built-in bridge driving supplies its own
+full-profile contract.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`driveHarnessMaterialization`](runtime.md#driveharnessmaterialization)
+
+##### resolveSupervisorTools?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **resolveSupervisorTools?**: [`ResolveSupervisorTools`](runtime.md#resolvesupervisortools-1)
+
+Resolve product-owned tools from the exact trusted manager context. The same descriptors and
+handlers are bound to router and external-harness managers; resolution happens once per node.
+Each handler receives that manager scope's live cancellation signal in its trusted invocation
+context, including recursive parent and root cascades.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`resolveSupervisorTools`](runtime.md#resolvesupervisortools)
+
+##### onCoordinationEvent?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **onCoordinationEvent?**: (`context`, `eventId`, `record`) => `void` \| `Promise`\<`void`\>
+
+Awaited product transaction hook for every coordination record. `eventId` is stable across a
+lost acknowledgement and durable restart; the record is not pull-visible until this commits.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+###### context
+
+[`SupervisorNodeContext`](runtime.md#supervisornodecontext)
+
+###### eventId
+
+`` `sha256:${string}` ``

+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`onCoordinationEvent`](runtime.md#oncoordinationevent)
+
+##### extraTools?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **extraTools?**: readonly `object`[]
+
+WORK tools the supervisor may call DIRECTLY — so a recursive atom can ACT (do simple work
+ itself) OR SPAWN (delegate when it needs parallelism), not be a pure manager. Pair with
+ `executeExtraTool`. Router arm only (`profile.harness` omitted or `cli-base`).
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`extraTools`](runtime.md#extratools)
+
+##### executeExtraTool?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **executeExtraTool?**: (`name`, `args`) => `Promise`\<`string` \| `null` \| `undefined`\>
+
+Runs an `extraTools` call; null/undefined falls through to the coordination dispatch.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+###### name
+
+`string`

+
+##### perWorker?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **perWorker?**: [`Budget`](index.md#budget-4)
+
+Per-child budget reserved on each spawn. Defaults to a quarter of the pool's tokens.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`perWorker`](runtime.md#perworker-1)
+
+##### maxLiveWorkers?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **maxLiveWorkers?**: `number`
+
+Hard cap on simultaneously executing spawned workers across the WHOLE recursive tree. The
+ root is excluded; nested drivers and leaves share one allocation, so recursion cannot multiply
+ the cap. Omit/`<= 0` = no cap (the conserved pool stays the only bound).
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`maxLiveWorkers`](runtime.md#maxliveworkers-4)
+
+##### analysts?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **analysts?**: `string` \| [`AnalystRegistry`](index.md#analystregistry)
+
+Analyst lenses available to the driver. Required for `analyzeOnSettle`. Unset → status quo
+ (the driver receives settled worker outputs, no analyst findings). A `string` names an entry in
+ `registry.analysts`.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`analysts`](runtime.md#analysts-3)
+
+##### analyzeOnSettle?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **analyzeOnSettle?**: readonly (`string` \| [`AnalyzeOnSettleRoute`](runtime.md#analyzeonsettleroute))[]
+
+Analyst kind ids run AUTOMATICALLY when a worker settles `done` — each re-enters as a `finding`
+ the driver pulls (`await_event`) and composes its next steer from. The self-improving UP-leg,
+ threaded to the driver at this level (propagate to sub-drivers via a recursive `makeWorkerAgent`).
+ Omit/empty = status quo (no analyst feed). Requires `analysts`.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`analyzeOnSettle`](runtime.md#analyzeonsettle)
+
+##### watchWorkers?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **watchWorkers?**: [`WorkerWatchOptions`](runtime.md#workerwatchoptions)
+
+Watch every worker's LIVE tool trace with the online detector panel and raise a `finding` the
+moment one loops or error-storms — so the supervisor learns it mid-run (via `await_event`)
+instead of at settle. Pairs with a steerable worker: the finding is the evidence, `steer_agent`
+is the correction. Requires a backend whose executor exposes a trace source (the steerable
+sandbox worker and the pi wrapper do); other runtimes are simply not watched.
+
+Omit = off (status quo — no online watching, no extra events).
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`watchWorkers`](runtime.md#watchworkers-1)
+
+##### stallAfterMs?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **stallAfterMs?**: `number`
+
+Idle time after which `observe_agent` reports a running worker as `stalled`. A derived read
+ at observation time — nothing is killed or retried. Omit = the runtime default.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`stallAfterMs`](runtime.md#stallafterms-3)
+
+##### continuityByProfile?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **continuityByProfile?**: `Readonly`\<`Record`\<`string`, [`ContinuityMode`](runtime.md#continuitymode)\>\>
+
+Default continuity per worker PROFILE NAME: `'resume'` makes each spawn of that name after
+ the first re-attach to the node's most recent SETTLED worker — a NEW live worker whose spawn
+ context carries the prior worker's identity (`WorkerSpawnContext.resume`), which the executor
+ seam re-attaches with. `spawn_agent`'s per-call `continuity` argument overrides in either
+ direction; `runGraph` derives this from delegates-edge `continuity`. Omit = every spawn is
+ `'fresh'` (status quo). See `CoordinationToolsOptions.continuityByProfile` for the
+ refusal semantics (no-prior / while-live / with-key) and the process-local resume boundary.

+
+##### blobs?

+
+Worker output store. Defaults to in-memory.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`blobs`](runtime.md#blobs-4)
+
+##### journal?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **journal?**: [`SpawnJournal`](runtime.md#spawnjournal)
+
+Override the spawn journal directly (advanced; `runDir` is the ordinary durable path). Pair
+ with `blobs` — a journal whose result payloads live in a different store cannot replay.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`journal`](runtime.md#journal-4)
+
+##### probes?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **probes?**: `string` \| [`WaitProbeRegistry`](runtime.md#waitproberegistry)
+
+Predicate registry for `poll` wait-states (`Scope.wait`). A `poll` names its predicate so the
+ wait survives a restart; this is what the name resolves against. Unset ⇒ `poll` waits are
+ refused `unknown-probe` and `timer` waits still work. A `string` names an entry in
+ `registry.probes`.
+
+###### Inherited from
+
+[`SuperviseOptions`](runtime.md#superviseoptions).[`probes`](runtime.md#probes-2)
+
+##### stopRule?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **stopRule?**: [`StopRule`](runtime.md#stoprule)
+
+PROGRESS-derived stop rule (router-brained supervisor). Ends a run that has stopped LEARNING
+before it exhausts a ceiling — the answer to "a run should end because it is done or stuck,
+not because it ran out". It composes with the budget guards and can never override one.
+
+Build it from `supervise/stop-rules`: `plateau({window, minDelta})`,
+`noProgressFor({ms, settles})`, `allWorkersStalled({...})`, combined with `anyOf`/`allOf`. The
+thresholds are policy and stay with you; the enforcement lives in the runtime. Omit = ceilings
+only (unchanged behavior).

+
+##### onProgressStop?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **onProgressStop?**: (`reason`) => `void`
+
+One-shot notification of WHY a `stopRule` ended the run — so a caller records the reason
+ instead of inferring an early stop from an unexhausted budget.

+
+##### compaction?
+
+> `readonly` `optional` **compaction?**: [`ToolLoopCompactionOptions`](runtime.md#toolloopcompactionoptions)
+
+Give the supervisor brain a chapter-lifecycle on its OWN context window (router arm only): once
+ its coordination transcript exceeds `thresholdTokens` it distills to a compact progress note and
+ continues, instead of re-billing the whole transcript every turn (the cost that makes the LLM-brain
+ front door lose to a dumb-Ralph respawn). The live `Scope` roster is the durable state across
+ chapters. Default off. `distill` defaults to a brain self-summary + the settled-worker roster.

+> `readonly` `optional` **allowedModels?**: readonly `string`[]
+
+Restrict the run to this subset of models. When set, every configured model — the
+ supervisor router model, the profile's model, and the backend's model — must be a member,

+ highest-scoring DELIVERED child (the exact behavior every existing caller had). Alternatives:
+ `collectDelivered` (every verified distinct output with provenance — a Pareto set / recorded

+
+OPT-IN OTLP tracing: emit one span per supervised node (opened at spawn, closed at settle,
+parented to its parent node's span) plus an `LLM` child span per metered driver turn, so the
+tree is readable by any trace viewer instead of only by a journal parser. See `otel-spans.ts`.
+
+Omit and the run emits nothing, allocates no recorder, and installs no hook — telemetry is
+never a default. Present with no reachable endpoint (no `exportConfig.endpoint` and no
+`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`) is also a no-op. The spawn journal is untouched either way:
+spans are telemetry, never the replay/resume record.

+## Functions
+
+### handleChatTurn()
+
+> **handleChatTurn**(`input`): [`ChatTurnResult`](#chatturnresult)
+
+Run one chat turn. Returns immediately with a `ReadableStream` body;
+execution starts while the stream is constructed. Backend
+failures surface as `error` + `session.run.failed` events.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### input
+
+[`RunChatTurnInput`](#runchatturninput)
+
+#### Returns
+
+[`ChatTurnResult`](#chatturnresult)
+
+***
+
+### deriveExecutionId()
+
+> **deriveExecutionId**(`input`): `string`
+
+Derive a stable execution id from the run identity.
+The same `(projectId, sessionId, turnIndex)` tuple yields the same id.
+
+Use the result as both `PromptOptions.executionId` and
+`PromptOptions.turnId` on the first dispatch.
+The execution id addresses the server-side execution for reconnect and
+replay; the turn id makes a repeated dispatch idempotent.
+An execution id alone does not make a repeated POST idempotent.
+
+Format is readable, not hashed: operators grepping orchestrator logs
+for `gtm-agent:thread-abc:3` find the run without translating an
+opaque id. Components are URL-encoded so delimiters inside caller ids
+cannot collapse distinct tuples. The final id is limited to the
+orchestrator replay route's 256-byte maximum. Execution ids are not a
+secrecy boundary.
+
+Wire integration:
+  - Initial dispatch: pass the result as `executionId` and `turnId`.
+  - Stream replay: pass it as `executionId` with `lastEventId`.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### input
+
+###### projectId
+
+`string`
+
+###### sessionId
+
+`string`
+
+###### turnIndex
+
+`number`
+
+#### Returns
+
+`string`
+
+#### Throws
+
+`TypeError` when either string id is blank.
+
+#### Throws
+
+`RangeError` when `turnIndex` is invalid or the result exceeds 256 bytes.

+
+### verifyObserverRecords()
+
+> **verifyObserverRecords**(`records`, `pursuitId?`): readonly [`ObserverRecord`](#observerrecord)[]
+
+Verify identity, monotonic sequence, payload shape, and the complete digest chain.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### records
+
+readonly [`ObserverRecord`](#observerrecord)[]
+
+##### pursuitId?
+
+`string`
+
+#### Returns

+
+### observerRecordDigest()
+
+> **observerRecordDigest**(`record`): `string`
+
+Compute the canonical SHA-256 digest for an unsigned observer record.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### record
+
+`Omit`\<[`ObserverRecord`](#observerrecord), `"digest"`\>
+
+#### Returns
+

+
+### createFileObserverHooks()
+
+> **createFileObserverHooks**(`path`, `pursuitId`): `object`
+
+Build the canonical durable observer hook in one call.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### path
+
+`string`
+
+##### pursuitId
+
+`string`
+
+#### Returns
+

+
+##### hooks

+> `readonly` **hooks**: [`RuntimeHooks`](index.md#runtimehooks)
+
+***
+
+### projectPursuit()
+
+> **projectPursuit**(`records`): [`PursuitProjection`](#pursuitprojection)
+
+Fold one append-only execution journal into a deterministic operator projection.
+
+This is intentionally a READ model, not another state machine: it does not own
+execution, cannot steer agents, and can be rebuilt from the journal at any time.
+Projection verifies the complete hash chain first, so an operator view can never
+silently render a mutated or reordered observer history as trustworthy state.
+
+Topology comes only from Runtime's canonical `agent.spawn` facts. Terminal node
+state comes only from `agent.child`; concrete run state comes only from the root
+`agent.run` lifecycle emitted by `supervisePursuit`. Node identity is scoped to the
+concrete Runtime run so independent trees may both contain `root:s0` without aliasing.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### records
+
+readonly [`ObserverRecord`](#observerrecord)[]
+
+#### Returns
+
+[`PursuitProjection`](#pursuitprojection)

+
+One-call durable pursuit execution over the canonical `supervise()` kernel.
+
+This is an adapter, not a second executor: it composes a durable third-person
+observer into Runtime's existing recursive hook stream and then rebuilds the
+operator projection after the same `supervise()` call settles. Agents never
+receive the observer path or projection and their behavior does not depend on it.
+
+Every concrete execution writes only inside its own `runDir`. Cross-run pursuit
+aggregation is therefore lock-free at the observer layer: reuse `pursuitId` across
+run directories and let Intelligence join the independently verified projections.
