fix: harden batch-2 fixes per reviewer feedback

- runner.py: isolate child process groups (start_new_session) on POSIX so
  timeout killpg cannot target the suite runner; propagate TimeoutError
  metadata + exit_code=-1 in the streaming timeout path
- agent_tools.py: route run_sync via _wrapper_bridge (C7 gate + standalone
  install hint); surface delete apply_plan failures instead of masking them;
  drop unused cwd param on acp_execute_command; B904 chaining; RUF013 Optional
- execution_mixin.py: reset _server_started[port] in finally so a failed or
  exited server can be retried by later launch() calls
- __init__.py: rebind package global db to the callable _LazyDbModule proxy so
  repeated praisonaiagents.db access returns the proxy, not the raw module
- compression_demo.py: derive target_tokens from each ratio so iterations differ
- multi-provider-agent.py: rebind each Task.agent to its RouterAgent wrapper

+# Terminal-Bench 2.1 Integration with PraisonAI
 
-This directory contains examples for integrating PraisonAI Agents with **Terminal-Bench 2.0** via the **Harbor framework** for AI agent benchmarking.
+This directory contains adapters for benchmarking PraisonAI on **Terminal-Bench 2.1** via the **Harbor framework**. Everything lives in the examples/benchmark layer + CI — there are **zero changes to the `praisonaiagents` / `praisonai` SDK surface**.
 
 ## Overview
 
-[Terminal-Bench 2.0](https://tbench.ai) is a Stanford/Laude Institute benchmark that has become the gold standard for evaluating AI coding agents in real terminal environments. The [Harbor framework](https://harborframework.com) is the official evaluation harness that abstracts container lifecycle, parallelization, and cloud providers.
+[Terminal-Bench 2.1](https://www.tbench.ai/docs/run-terminal-bench-2-1) is the current release of the Laude Institute benchmark for evaluating AI coding agents in real terminal environments. The [Harbor framework](https://github.com/laude-institute/harbor) is the official evaluation harness that abstracts container lifecycle, parallelization, and cloud providers.
+
+## Setup
+
+Install Harbor and PraisonAI into **one venv** and run from the repo root with `PYTHONPATH=.` so the adapter import path resolves:
+
+```bash
+pip install harbor
+pip install -e src/praisonai-agents -e src/praisonai
+export PYTHONPATH=.
+```
 
 ## Integration Types
 
+### 0. Code Agent (headline — benchmarks `praisonai code`)
+- **File**: `praisonai_code_agent.py`
+- **Purpose**: Installs and drives the terminal-native `praisonai code` assistant headlessly inside the container.
+- **Run**:
+  ```bash
+  PYTHONPATH=. harbor run -d terminal-bench/terminal-bench-2-1 \
+    --agent "examples.terminal_bench.praisonai_code_agent:PraisonAICodeAgent" \
+    -m openai/gpt-4o-mini \
+    --ae OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
+    -n 4
+  ```
+
 ### 1. External Agent (Direct Agent Class)
 - **File**: `praisonai_external_agent.py`
 - **Purpose**: External agent that uses direct `Agent()` class instantiation
-- **Usage**: Run with `--agent-import-path` flag
-- **Approach**: Uses `praisonaiagents.Agent` directly with `execute_command` tool
+- **Usage**: Run with `--agent "module:Class"`
+- **Approach**: Uses `praisonaiagents.Agent` directly with a bash tool bridged to Harbor's `exec()`
 
 ### 2. Wrapper Agent (CLI-Based)

+PraisonAI Code Agent for Terminal-Bench 2.1 (Harbor)
+
+The headline adapter: benchmarks the terminal-native `praisonai code` assistant
+by installing it inside the Harbor container and driving it headlessly.
+
+Usage:
+    harbor run -d terminal-bench/terminal-bench-2-1 \
+        --agent "examples.terminal_bench.praisonai_code_agent:PraisonAICodeAgent" \
+        -m openai/gpt-4o-mini \
+        --ae OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
+        -n 4
+
+Architecture:
+    Harbor Container → `praisonai code "TASK" --dangerously-skip-approval` (headless)
+
+Notes:
+    - `--dangerously-skip-approval` sets PRAISON_APPROVAL_MODE=auto +
+      PRAISONAI_TOOL_SAFETY=off so the assistant runs fully autonomously in the
+      container (no approval hang in a non-TTY session).
+    - `praisonai code` normally exits 0 and Harbor grades by task verification,
+      so a benchmark miss does not fail the run — but the real exit status is
+      propagated so genuine install/auth/startup failures still surface.
+    - The base `praisonai` package is sufficient; heavy `code` extras are not
+      required (ACP tools degrade gracefully).
