+## Issues
+
+<!--
+If this resolves a report, put `Fixes #123` on its own line — GitHub only
+auto-closes from a bare line, so `- Fixes #123` in a list does nothing and the
+report stays open. If it only relates to one, use `Refs #123` instead: the
+release workflow then asks that reporter to verify once the fix ships.
+-->
+
 ## Verification
 
 -
 
+For a GSAP to WAAPI/CSS migration (or any cross-API replacement), document
+the source-to-target contract here: easing syntax, time units, callbacks,
+cancellation, reduced-motion behavior, and failure fallback. Verification must
+assert that the target API was actually called; a mock that silently skips it
+does not count.

CHANGELOG.md

 ### Changed
 
-- Agent runtime defaults now leave both executor and dedicated planner tool-call
-  rounds unlimited (`max_steps = 0`, `planner_max_steps = 0`). Step limits now
-  come from the user/global config only; project `reasonix.toml` does not
-  override them.
+- **Fact-driven execution:** Ordinary requests always enter the executor.
+  There is no automatic simple / light / full task mode and no per-turn
+  `TaskPolicy` classification. The planner runs only for an explicit Plan,
+  an approval boundary, or Goal start. The host builds verification
+  obligations from concrete tool effects and receipts. Plan, Goal,
+  permission, and sandbox stay independent. Tool schemas and the executor
+  system prefix stay byte-stable. Historical `<execution-policy>` tags remain
+  readable on old sessions and are stripped from new provider context.
+  Old `--preset`/`--profile` compatibility no-ops are unchanged.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **v1.24.2 session snapshot & recovery root fix:** Keep PR #7982's WAL/CAS/lease
+  safety foundation, but replace process-level "I hold a lease" ownership with a
+  generation-bound `SessionWriteAuthority`. Same-revision tool-preview/load
+  reshapes no longer false-diverge; recovery files are bounded to one path per
+  writer/lineage; empty checkpoints heal from their own WAL; projection lineage
+  rebinds across upgrade/model switch and inherits across recovery forks without
+  changing provider-visible prompt bytes. Catalog upgrades to disposable
+  `session-catalog/v3.sqlite` with recovery lineage roles
+  (`normal|covered_copy|adopted|diverged`); covered idle copies move to the
+  recoverable `.trash` using a 15-minute idle threshold applied on two early
+  sweeps (at startup and ~20 minutes later), then a 24-hour threshold on the
+  6-hour background ticker; independent diverged branches stay and are listed
+  for user choice. v1/v2 catalogs are
+  left byte-unchanged for coexistence/downgrade.
+  **v1.24.1** only hid/reclaimed already-created covered copies and fixed Windows
+  flash-window startup; **v1.24.2** stops the misclassification source and repairs
+  existing user directories without rewriting authoritative JSONL/WAL/sidecar data.
+
+- Goal now runs continuously by default: the former 16-round per-Run boundary,
+  10/20/40 cross-Run quotas, default wall-clock budget, and numeric
+  no-progress/Todo-stall pauses no longer stop valid work. Progress guards still
+  detect repeated host outcomes and zero-evidence work, but redirect the model
+  to re-plan instead of producing `goal_run_budget` or `goal_stuck`. Explicit
+  `[agent].goal_token_budget`, `--max-steps`, positive time/cost budgets, manual
+  pause/stop, genuine user/external blockers, and evaluator fail-closed behavior
+  remain available. The Goal token budget defaults to `0` (off); resuming its
+  `budget_spend` pause grants a fresh slice without clearing cumulative usage.
+  Goal status reports turns, provider requests, tokens, the optional configured
+  token threshold, and cumulative active work time. Bot `max_steps` also
+  defaults to `0` (continuous), while positive user configuration is enforced.
+
+- Removed numeric Goal pauses in existing sidecars automatically normalize to
+  `running` without sending a model request. Active Goal sidecars write
+  `turnsLimit: -1` as a downgrade-safe unlimited sentinel while public runtime
+  APIs retain deprecated limit fields as `0`. The migration preserves unknown
+  fields, todos, checkpoints, usage, evidence, and historical metadata.
+
+- Goal is now the sole long-task runtime. Historical AutoResearch sidecars
+  migrate transactionally into Goals with research compatibility metadata. Invalid archives block
+  fail closed and remain read-only, retaining the task id and compatibility mode
+  for a restart or `/goal resume` retry; successful Goal-only sidecars omit the
+  old task id and write an explicit downgrade fence so previous readers cannot
+  reactivate the removed runtime.
+
+- Context-dependent workflow tools now share one host-side execution boundary.
+  Goal, Plan sign-off, and background-job calls cannot reach permissions,
+  hooks, leases, or Execute outside their owning context; mixed batches execute
+  valid calls once and stop safely after one repair. Child agents also isolate
+  inherited Goal, Jobs, and live memory queues, while persisted tool identity
+  records the effective child schema projection.
+
+- **Issue #7575:** Linux Bash under bubblewrap no longer mounts a fresh empty
+  `--tmpfs /tmp` on every call. Consecutive commands in the same logical session
+  now share a private temporary directory (bound at `/tmp` on Linux, exported via
+  `TMPDIR`/`TMP`/`TEMP` on all platforms) without exposing the host public
+  temporary root. `/new`, `/clear`, resume of another session, and branch
+  switches rotate the directory; model/settings hot rebuilds keep it. Sub-agent
+  runs get independent directories. Temporary files are not durable across process
+  restarts.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added `[ui].show_turn_usage` so CLI/TUI users can hide per-request token and
+  cost receipts from transcript scrollback without disabling usage accounting.
+
+## [1.20.0] — 2026-08-05
+
+Extension kernel, Task Monitor, and safer Goal completion.
+
+Compact decision surfaces, local decision receipts, unified extension kernel,
+native Task Monitor, bounded sub-agent progress, Goal fail-closed completion,
+MiMo and DashScope Responses fixes, SSH remote access simplification, and
+multiple Desktop stability improvements.
+
+### Highlights
+
+- **Unified Extension Kernel and Extension Protocol v1**: Immutable runtime
+  snapshots, fail-atomic reload, Plugin Manifest v1 (prompts, themes, full-trust
+  code runtimes), stable JSON-RPC sidecar protocol, interceptor dispatch,
+  streaming provider adapter, structured UI, and Go SDK.
+- **Native Task Monitor**: Monitor agent tasks natively in CLI and Desktop with
+  lifecycle semantics and session-scoped summary view.
+- **Bounded Sub-agent Progress Forwarding**: Forward structured progress for
+  `task`, `parallel_tasks`, and `fleet` without flooding the parent stream.
+  Renders nested lifecycle cards in Desktop and stable per-child transcript
+  slots in CLI.
+- **Goal Completion Fail-Closed**: Replace free-form Goal footer markers with a
+  stable `update_goal` tool and epoch-scoped per-turn reports. Centralized
+  completion logic with bounded evaluator, progress-aware budgets, and
+  pause/resume controls.
+- **Ablation Subsystem Switches**: Switch subsystems off behind one shared
+  vocabulary for controlled experiments. Includes planner, subagent, retrieval,
+  evidence, and compaction.
+- **Benchmark Cost per Solved Task**: Report cost per solved task, tokens per
+  solved, median wall time, and failure-class breakdown in e2e reports.
+- **Compact Decision Surfaces and Local Receipts**: Compact footer decision-card
+  layout with bounded scroll, dense action rows, and overflow disclosure.
+  Record bounded Ask, approval, and recovery decisions as local transcript
+  receipts.
+- **Simplified SSH Remote Access**: Remove Remote Workbench protocol and
+  stacks; reuse CLI/Serve remote model. Desktop opens per-host native web child
+  windows via SSH. Keyless remote Serve setup with loopback-only page.
+- **Model Usage Charts with Primer Palette**: Replace monochrome accent ramp
+  with GitHub Primer data-viz two-set categorical palette. Fix donut overflow
+  on hover and keyboard accessibility.
+- **Cross-platform Extension and Task Monitor Reliability**: Make
+  content-reference eviction deterministic, reject Unix and Windows absolute
+  plugin paths consistently, stabilize parallel-task cancellation, and restore
+  reliable Windows validation for Task Monitor and remote provider setup.
+- **MiMo and DashScope Responses Wire Alignment**: Fix multi-turn tool loops,
+  reasoning round-trip, JSON output for MiMo; fix DashScope second-turn 400
+  error, all-zero usage suppression, and vendor-aware cache TTL.
+- **Desktop Stability Fixes**: Recover stuck updates and legacy WebKit, contain
+  macOS alias repair startup crashes, keep composer overflow stacks readable,
+  and harden account verification and community flows.
+- **Remote Web Recovery After SSH Drops**: Add integration regression test for
+  SSH drop, forward recovery, and window reload. Document transient outage
+  behavior.
+- **CI: Auto-minimize Activity-Farming Spam Comments**: Detect and minimize
+  template spam comments from non-contributor accounts based on structural
+  signals.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added Extension Protocol v1 and the unified extension kernel: installed or
+  linked sidecars can contribute tools, skills, commands, hooks, MCP servers,
+  providers, interceptors, and structured UI surfaces through a versioned
+  NDJSON contract and the public Go SDK. CLI, Desktop, ACP, and Serve support
+  fail-atomic runtime reloads; Serve also renders extension surfaces and lists
+  extension-hosted providers without exposing credentials.
+- Added the structured Goal completion protocol: the always-registered
+  `update_goal` tool (continue/complete/blocked with reason and next_action)
+  replaces the `[goal:*]` footer markers. The Goal FSM is now the exclusive
+  cross-turn decision point and validates every complete claim against Delivery
+  readiness; when the model submits no report, an independent bounded evaluator
+  (recovery_model → guardian_model → main model, no tools/history, usage
+  attributed to `goal-evaluator`) judges the turn once, and any evaluator
+  failure pauses the goal instead of continuing silently.
+- Added Goal budget classes with safe pauses: simple 10 turns / 200k tokens,
+  write 20 turns / 400k tokens, AutoResearch 40 turns / 800k tokens, and a
+  4-turn no-host-verifiable-progress gate. Pauses keep all Goal state; `/goal
+  resume` continues and adds one slice of the current class when the pause was
+  budget-related. `/goal status` shows the full turn/token/no-progress runtime,
+  and `/goal pause` manually suspends a running Goal.
+- Added the `goalRuntime` nested view to the desktop Meta, the remote protocol
+  (`session/goal/pause` operation, `goalRuntime` DTO on session meta), and the
+  ACP status payload; the desktop Composer goal menu shows the runtime summary
+  with distinct pause/end/resume actions.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Delivery no longer retries final-answer readiness with hidden model messages:
+  a plain Delivery run ends on the first unsatisfied final answer and surfaces
+  the recovery card, while a Goal + Delivery run has the Goal FSM absorb the
+  failure and continue under budget with the missing requirements as the next
+  turn's prompt. Historical `[goal:*]` footers are stripped from old transcripts
+  for display only and never participate in state decisions.
+- Added a **Remote SSH** module (VS Code Remote-SSH style): a user-global
+  `[remote]` host config, `reasonix remote` CLI (add/list/remove/import/test/
+  connect/status/forward/serve/fs) and `/remote` slash command, an SSH transport
+  with trust-on-first-use host-key verification, keepalive + exponential-backoff
+  reconnect, `-L`/`-R` port forwarding, and SFTP file access. `connect`
+  bootstraps a persistent `reasonix serve` on the remote host and tunnels its
+  loopback port so the full agent runs remotely. The desktop app adds a
+  **Settings -> Remote SSH** host manager, a remote file browser/editor, a
+  port-forwarding panel, and a status-bar connection chip. Linux/macOS remotes.
+- Added `reasonix serve --port-file/--token-file/--pid-file` so a supervised
+  headless serve can bind an ephemeral port and read its auth token from a file
+  (keeping it out of `ps`).
+- Added an authenticated, loopback-only Provider setup page for `reasonix
+  serve`. A Serve whose selected Provider is missing its API key now remains
+  reachable, stores the submitted key in that host's Reasonix credential file,
+  and rebuilds the active controller in place without restarting Serve.
+- Added Claude Code-style searchable CLI pickers for models, providers, and
+  sessions, with arrow, Vim, and `Ctrl+P` / `Ctrl+N` navigation.
+- Added `-p` / `--print`, `text`, `json`, and `stream-json` output modes for
+  one-shot use and automation.
+- Added session-scoped `--allowed-tools`, repeatable `--add-dir`, Claude-compatible
+  permission modes, flexible `--resume [QUERY]`, and the `--copy` resume escape
+  hatch.
+- Added `/status` details for the active model, effort, cache, Git state,
+  background jobs, work profile, and provider balance where available.
+- Remote SSH workspaces now open as a standalone remote web window again.
+  Opening a workspace from the status bar or the Remote Server tab starts or
+  reuses the remote `reasonix serve`, tunnels its loopback port, and opens the
+  Serve web client in a dedicated per-host window. The remote web page uses
+  the provider configuration and API keys on the **remote** host; the desktop
+  no longer exposes its local providers to remote hosts. If the selected remote
+  Provider is missing its API key, the window opens a setup page that saves the
+  key only on that host and then opens the normal Serve UI. The Remote Workbench
+  protocol, its Provider Broker, and the same-window remote projection were
+  removed. Legacy mirror and provider-trust files are not deleted
+  automatically; Settings -> Remote SSH shows a cleanup card when they exist.
+  The hidden `remote attach-workspace`, `remote runtime-workbench`, and
+  `remote workbench-build-id` commands now fail with a pointer to
+  `reasonix remote connect <host> --open`.
+- Automatic Plan Mode has been retired. Plan Mode is now always entered through
+  an explicit user choice, and the one-time config v5 upgrade removes legacy
+  `agent.auto_plan` and `agent.auto_plan_classifier` values so upgraded users
+  receive the same behavior as new users.
+- `Shift+Tab` now cycles CLI safe modes from Ask to Auto to Plan, while YOLO
+  remains an independent `Ctrl+Y` toggle.
+- Model, provider, resume, and approval menus now use consistent row selection;
+  slash completion, help, aliases, and dispatch share one command registry.
+- The full-screen CLI composer now uses theme-accented borders and a slim bar
+  cursor by default, grows within the available terminal height, scrolls long
+  drafts independently, and preserves selections across explicit image paste.
+- The persistent CLI footer now uses a responsive, theme-aware layout for
+  interaction state, model, effort, localized work mode, Git identity, cache,
+  context, compaction headroom, jobs, and balance. Narrow terminals move or
+  compact complete groups instead of clipping labels.
+- CLI clipboard actions now separate terminal-native text paste from explicit
+  image paste: `Ctrl+V` on macOS/Linux, `Alt+V` on Windows, or `/paste-image`.
+  Local transcript copy verifies the native clipboard write, while SSH uses a
+  clearly labelled OSC 52 fallback.
+- Runtime rebuilds after model, effort, or work-mode changes now preserve the
+  conversation, session permission overrides, additional directories, and
+  session lease ownership.
+- Agent execution now monitors host-observed Todo progress automatically. A
+  stalled current item receives a recovery nudge after 8 tool-call rounds with
+  no new completion, unique read, command, or mutation, and pauses with saved
+  work after 16. Exact repeats do not renew the progress lease; real work does.
+  Two-level task lists keep the single in_progress contract: the active
+  sub-step is the only current item while its phase stays pending, and the
+  phase becomes in_progress to sign off only after all of its sub-steps are
+  completed. A level-1 sub-step with no phase header above it is rejected.
+  Executor and planner rounds now use automatic progress management. Retired
+  `[agent].max_steps` and `planner_max_steps` keys remain parseable for upgrades,
+  but are ignored and removed by a one-time migration so stale hidden limits
+  cannot truncate new behavior. One-off CLI and unattended bot limits remain.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed long parallel sub-agent research being silently lost when combined
+  `parallel_tasks` or `fleet` answers exceeded the single-tool output limit.
+  Persisted sessions now keep each child transcript independently, return a
+  bounded fair preview plus stable reference for every result, and page full
+  answers through the conversation-scoped `read_subagent_result` tool.
+- Fixed Remote Workbench failing with only `initialize: workbench-desktop:
+  connection closed` on fresh or cross-platform SSH hosts. Desktop now proves
+  the exact Host CLI Build ID, provisions the matching verified release without
+  requiring remote npm, runs the managed binary explicitly, and preserves a
+  safe structured bootstrap error when the remote command exits early.
+- Hardened Bash permission reuse for dynamic and indirect execution. Parameter/arithmetic expansions,
+  assignments, redirects, heredocs, and globs can only be remembered as exact
+  `Bash=<literal>` rules, while still using Auto's normal fallback. Nested or
+  indirect execution now requires a human in interactive Ask/Auto and fails
+  closed in headless Ask/Auto/DontAsk. Broad Bash rules, Guardian/hook allows,
+  and the approved-plan window can no longer silently authorize that stricter
+  class; YOLO remains the explicit full-access bypass and sandbox enforcement
+  is unchanged.
+- Fixed Desktop sessions incorrectly locking themselves during Goal + Delivery
+  mode changes, controller rebuilds, duplicate-tab restore, and background
+  reattachment. Desktop now keeps one process-local runtime owner per canonical
+  session, fences stale controller events by runtime epoch, blocks sends until
+  that runtime is ready, and scopes single-instance ownership to
+  `REASONIX_HOME` instead of the executable path. Switching saved sessions is
+  now transactional: a target build, restore, or lease failure leaves the
+  current controller, lease, path, mode profile, and runtime epoch untouched.
+- Stabilized the desktop rich composer caret after skill and plugin invocation
+  tags. DOM→model and model→DOM selection mapping now treat invocation chips as
+  zero-length atoms while still counting user text that lands inside the NBSP
+  caret anchor (common on Windows WebView2), restore both selection ends, and
+  recover the insertion point from a `beforeinput` snapshot when the browser
+  temporarily loses selection — so mid-text edits no longer jump to the end.
+- Isolated the Windows desktop WebView2 shell from stale system proxies, so an
+  exited proxy client cannot leave the embedded UI hidden during startup. If
+  WebView2 still does not reach DOM-ready within 15 seconds, Reasonix now shows
+  the native window with a recovery prompt instead of appearing not to launch.
+  Remote Markdown images are fetched by the backend with Reasonix's proxy
+  configuration instead of bypassing that proxy through the isolated WebView.
+- Restored captured-mouse right-click text paste, made composer drag selection
+  copy through the verified native clipboard path, and kept non-Git footer
+  telemetry left-aligned without reserving an empty data band.
+- Restored stateful MCP behavior after the v1.17.13 regression: user-added
+  servers work without extra trust settings (including delivery-mode on-demand
+  calls), repository-provided servers use one exact launch confirmation, and
+  stdio tools reuse one persistent process so browser sessions survive across
+  calls without repeated startup latency. The former trust/reverify/catalog
+  management UI and CLI are removed.
+- Localized persistent-footer labels and displayed work-mode values in English,
+  Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, while keeping command arguments
+  stable.
+- Restored the `0.53` content boundary: model output, tool output, session
+  transcripts, recovery branches, and background-job artifacts retain their
+  original text instead of being rewritten by heuristic secret redaction.
+  Credential masking remains in key-entry summaries and explicit diagnostic or
+  session-cleanup paths. Transcript-bearing session/job sidecars are kept
+  private (`0600`, with private job directories), and the retired
+  `redact_tool_output` setting is removed with a one-time upgrade notice.

+### Isolated development environment
+
+A source-built binary shares no on-disk state with a stable release when launched
+with `REASONIX_HOME` set. This gives each build its own self-contained directory
+tree — config, credentials, sessions, cache, skills, commands, hooks, and
+desktop tab state — so the two builds never interfere:
+
+**CLI**
+
+```bash
+REASONIX_HOME=/tmp/reasonix-dev go run ./cmd/reasonix
+# or after building:
+#   REASONIX_HOME=/tmp/reasonix-dev ./bin/reasonix
+```
+
+**Desktop**
+
+```bash
+cd desktop && wails build
+REASONIX_HOME=/tmp/reasonix-dev-isolated build/bin/reasonix-desktop
+```
+
+On Windows, use `$env:REASONIX_HOME` in PowerShell or `set REASONIX_HOME=` in
+Command Prompt; the binary extension is `.exe`.
+
+The directory is empty on first launch; the app behaves exactly like a fresh
+install. Every subsequent write — config saves, credential storage, session
+logs — stays under `REASONIX_HOME`. Legacy migration, OS-home convention
+directory scanning, and all other fallback paths are skipped so no production
+data leaks in or out.

+desktop app, and VS Code extension all use the same local Reasonix engine.
+
+### Path A: CLI / TUI
+
+Install the native binary through npm on any supported platform, or use
+Homebrew on macOS:
+
 ```sh
 npm i -g reasonix                  # any OS; pulls the prebuilt native binary

-Windows builds are code-signed with a free certificate provided by the
-[SignPath Foundation](https://signpath.org/), with signing through
-[SignPath.io](https://signpath.io/).
+Use the [official download page](https://reasonix.io/?download=desktop#start)
+for the latest desktop build.
 
-### Build from source
+| Platform | Package | Architecture |
+| --- | --- | --- |

+
+### Path C: VS Code extension
+
+Complete Path A first. The extension does not bundle the CLI; it starts your
+local `reasonix acp` backend and adds native chat, editor context, tool-call
+approvals, model selection, and workspace sessions.
+
+- **VS Code:** [install from Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SivanLiu.reasonix-agent)
+- **VSCodium / Eclipse Theia:** [install from Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/SivanLiu/reasonix-agent)
+- **Extension ID:** `SivanLiu.reasonix-agent` · [source and usage guide](https://github.com/SivanCola/reasonix-vscode)

+### Path D: Build from source
+
+Clone the repository first:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix.git
+cd DeepSeek-Reasonix
+```
+
+#### CLI
+
+The CLI build requires **Go 1.25+**. The module pins a `toolchain` directive;
+keep `GOTOOLCHAIN=auto` so Go downloads the pinned toolchain, or install it.
 
 ```sh
 make build      # -> bin/reasonix(.exe)
 make cross      # -> dist/ (darwin|linux|windows × amd64|arm64)
 ```
 
-## Quick start
+#### Desktop
+
+The desktop build additionally requires:
+
+- **Node 24+ and pnpm 10** (`npm install -g pnpm@10`) for the frontend
+- **Wails CLI** matching the shared `.wails-version` pin
 
 ```sh
-reasonix setup                      # config wizard → ./reasonix.toml
-export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...      # or let setup save it to Reasonix home .env

+make wails-install
+cd desktop
+wails build
+```
+
+See the [desktop build guide](desktop/README.md#prerequisites) for platform
+webview dependencies and Linux build tags.
+
+## Quick start
+
+### CLI / TUI
+
+These commands are for the CLI/TUI installed through Path A:
+
+```sh
+reasonix setup                      # configure a provider and model
+reasonix                            # start an interactive session
 reasonix run "implement the TODOs in main.go"
-reasonix run --model deepseek-pro "add unit tests for this function"
-echo "explain this code" | reasonix run
 ```
 
-## Configuration
+In an interactive session, run `/init` when you want Reasonix to create project
+instructions.
 
-A minimal `reasonix.toml` — one provider and a default model — is enough to start:
+### Desktop app
 
-```toml
-default_model = "deepseek-flash"
+Download the installer for your platform from the
+[official download page](https://reasonix.io/?download=desktop#start), install
+and launch Reasonix, then configure a provider and model in the app. The CLI
+commands above are not required for the desktop app.
 
-[[providers]]
-name        = "deepseek-flash"
-kind        = "openai"
-base_url    = "https://api.deepseek.com"
-model       = "deepseek-v4-flash"
-api_key_env = "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"

-Resolution order is **flag > `./reasonix.toml` > the user config file >
-built-in defaults**; starting with **Reasonix v1.8.1**, the user file lives at
-`~/.reasonix/config.toml` on macOS/Linux and
-`%AppData%\reasonix\config.toml` on Windows. See
-**[Configuration paths](./docs/CONFIG_PATHS.md)** for migration details and the
-full `config.toml` / `.env` structure. Provider entries name secrets with
-`api_key_env`; the secret values themselves live in Reasonix's global
-`<Reasonix home>/.env`, shared by CLI and desktop. Project `.env` files are not
-provider-key runtime fallbacks, but still feed workspace-scoped, non-provider
-`${VAR}` expansion for MCP/plugin settings without importing Reasonix control
-variables. Permissions, the sandbox, plugins (MCP), slash
-commands, `@` references, and two-model setup are all in the

-> 早期的 `0.x` TypeScript 版本转为 **legacy**,保留在 [`v1`](https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix/tree/v1) 分支(仅维护)。
-> 详见**[迁移指南](./docs/MIGRATING.md)**。`npm i -g reasonix` 仍是安装命令——`1.0.0`+ 装的是 Go 二进制,`0.x` 是 legacy TS 版。

+Reasonix 引擎。
+
+### 路径 A：CLI / TUI
+
+任意支持的平台都可以通过 npm 安装原生二进制；macOS 也可以使用 Homebrew：
+
 ```sh
 npm i -g reasonix                  # 任意系统;自动拉取对应平台的原生二进制

-### 代码签名
+### 路径 B：桌面端
 
-Windows 构建使用 [SignPath 基金会](https://signpath.org/) 提供的免费代码签名证书,
-通过 [SignPath.io](https://signpath.io/) 完成签名。
+前往[官方下载页](https://reasonix.io/?download=desktop#start)获取最新桌面版本。
 
-### 从源码构建
+| 平台 | 安装包 | 架构 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| macOS | 通用 `.dmg` 或 `.zip` | Apple Silicon / Intel |
+| Windows | 安装器 `.exe` 或便携 `.zip` | x64 / ARM64 |
+| Linux | `.deb` 或 `.tar.gz` | x64 |
+
+Windows 安装器通过 [SignPath.io](https://signpath.io/) 完成代码签名，证书由
+[SignPath 基金会](https://signpath.org/) 免费提供。
+
+### 路径 C：VS Code 扩展
+
+请先完成路径 A。扩展不内置 CLI，而是启动本机的 `reasonix acp` 后端，
+并提供原生聊天、编辑器上下文、工具调用审批、模型选择和工作区会话。
+
+- **VS Code：** [从 Visual Studio Marketplace 安装](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SivanLiu.reasonix-agent)

+- **扩展 ID：** `SivanLiu.reasonix-agent` · [源码与使用说明](https://github.com/SivanCola/reasonix-vscode)
+
+### 路径 D：从源码构建
+
+先克隆仓库：
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix.git
+cd DeepSeek-Reasonix
+```
+
+#### CLI
+
+CLI 构建需要 **Go 1.25+**。模块固定了 `toolchain` 指令；
+保持 `GOTOOLCHAIN=auto` 让 Go 自动下载固定的工具链，或自行安装。
 
 ```sh
 make build      # -> bin/reasonix(.exe)
 make cross      # -> dist/（darwin|linux|windows × amd64|arm64）
 ```
 
-## 快速开始
+#### 桌面端
+
+桌面端构建额外需要：
+
+- **Node 24+ 和 pnpm 10**（`npm install -g pnpm@10`）用于前端
+- **Wails CLI**，与共享的 `.wails-version` 固定版本一致
 
 ```sh
-reasonix setup                      # 配置向导 → ./reasonix.toml
-export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...      # 也可以让 setup 保存到 Reasonix 全局 .env
-reasonix                            # 然后在会话里运行 /init 生成 AGENTS.md（项目记忆）
+make wails-install
+cd desktop
+wails build
+```
+
+平台相关的 WebView 依赖和 Linux 构建标签见
+[桌面端构建指南](desktop/README.md#prerequisites)。
+
+## 快速开始
+
+### CLI / TUI
+
+以下命令仅适用于通过路径 A 安装的 CLI/TUI：
+
+```sh
+reasonix setup                      # 配置 provider 和模型
+reasonix                            # 启动交互式会话
 reasonix run "把 main.go 里的 TODO 实现掉"
-reasonix run --model deepseek-pro "给这个函数补单元测试"
-echo "解释这段代码" | reasonix run
 ```
 
-## 配置
+需要项目指令时，可在交互式会话中运行 `/init`。
 
-一个最小的 `reasonix.toml`——一个 provider 加一个默认模型——就够跑起来:
+### 桌面端
 
-```toml
-default_model = "deepseek-flash"
+从[官方下载页](https://reasonix.io/?download=desktop#start)下载对应系统的安装包，
+安装并启动 Reasonix，然后在应用内配置 provider 和模型即可使用。桌面端无需执行
+上面的 CLI 命令。
 
-[[providers]]
-name        = "deepseek-flash"
-kind        = "openai"
-base_url    = "https://api.deepseek.com"
-model       = "deepseek-v4-flash"
-api_key_env = "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"
-```
-
-优先级为 **flag > `./reasonix.toml` > 用户配置文件 > 内置默认值**；从
-**Reasonix v1.8.1** 开始，用户配置位于 macOS/Linux 的 `~/.reasonix/config.toml`，
-Windows 为 `%AppData%\reasonix\config.toml`。迁移细节见
-**[配置路径](./docs/CONFIG_PATHS.zh-CN.md)**，其中也说明了全局 `config.toml`
-和 `.env` 的完整结构。Provider 通过 `api_key_env` 命名密钥，真实密钥值保存在
-CLI 与桌面端共用的 Reasonix 全局 `<Reasonix home>/.env`；项目 `.env` 不再作为
-provider key 的运行时 fallback，但仍会作为当前 workspace 范围内的 MCP/plugin 非 provider `${VAR}` 展开来源，不导入 Reasonix 控制变量。权限、沙盒、插件(MCP)、

 ## Conventions
 
-- Go kernel under `internal/`; each package owns one concern and documents it in a
-  package comment. Match the surrounding comment density and idiom when editing.
+- Go kernel under `internal/`; each package owns one concern. A package's long
+  explanation belongs in its `doc.go`, not spread across implementation files.
 - One transport-agnostic `control.Controller` sits behind every frontend (chat
   TUI, HTTP/SSE serve, Wails desktop). Add behavior to the controller, not a
   frontend, so all three inherit it.
+- Layering (enforced): utility packages import nothing under `reasonix/`; only
+  the frontends `cli`, `serve`, `acp`, `bot`, `botruntime`, `boot` and the hosts
+  `cmd/`, `desktop/` may import `control`; nothing below a frontend may import
+  one. The declared sets live in `tools/repolint/layers.go`.
+- Subagent delegation keeps five concepts apart: a profile says how a worker
+  thinks, `TaskSpec` what this call wants, `CapabilityGrant` what it may touch,
+  `ContextRequest` what it starts from, `SchedulerPolicy` when it runs. Put a
+  field in whichever member decides its value — profiles carry ceilings, never
+  per-call values. `internal/agent/profile_boundary_test.go` enforces it.
 - Cache-first: the system-prompt prefix (base prompt + tools + memory) must stay
   byte-stable across turns so DeepSeek's automatic prefix cache stays warm. Never
   mutate it mid-session — ride the turn tail instead (see `control.Compose`).
+- Performance features land with an effect test at their final boundary
+  (`internal/boot/effect_test.go` pattern): assert what actually reaches the
+  provider request, frontend sink, or trajectory through the real `boot.Build`
+  assembly. Component correctness is not system effectiveness.
+- A mutex- or atomic-guarded struct is ratcheted on its **scalar** field count
+  (`struct-state`), not its total: independent flags multiply into states no
+  type records as legal. Fixing a boundary case by adding one more `bool` is
+  the move this blocks — group by lifetime into a named sub-state instead
+  (`agent.perTurnState` is the pattern), which costs one field and removes the
+  whole product.
+
+## Comments
+
+Default is none — the code is the truth. Write one only when the **why** is
+non-obvious: a hidden constraint, a workaround anchored to something verifiable,
+an invariant the type system cannot express, or an external-protocol quirk.
+
+- Declaration doc: ≤15 lines. Package comment: ≤8 lines, or ≤40 in a `doc.go`.
+- Every other comment: ≤3 lines. Struct-field and trailing `//`: 1 line.
+- Never: restatements of the code, phase/stage narrative, incident or
+  conversation history, section banners, commented-out code, `@param` lists.
+- `TODO(#nnn):` and `HACK(#nnn):` need the issue anchor. `FIXME` is banned.
+- One responsibility per file; 800 lines is the ceiling.
+
+`go run ./tools/repolint` enforces all of it against a ratchet baseline: recorded
+debt is tolerated, anything new fails CI. Never widen the baseline to land a
+change — fix the code. `-update` exists for carrying debt through a rename or an
+extraction, and that diff must be justified in the PR.

+# Reasonix Benchmarks
+
+Three harnesses live under `benchmarks/`; `cmd/e2ebench` also exposes a
+SWE-bench Verified mode:
+
+- `e2e/` — the committed end-to-end task suite, driven by
+  [`cmd/e2ebench`](../cmd/e2ebench/main.go). It runs each task against a real
+  provider and emits a markdown + JSON report (accuracy, cache-hit rate, token
+  use, cost) suitable for pasting into a PR.
+- `context-maintenance-e2e/` — a standalone seed → resume → comprehension
+  harness that A/B-compares cold-restart cache behavior with and without
+  context pruning.
+- `compaction/` — CompactionBench: grows a session one generation at a time and
+  folds it after each, measuring what repeated compaction costs and what it
+  loses. See [CompactionBench](#compactionbench) below.
+

+
+## Task corpus stratification
+
+The suite is stratified by real coding-agent workload classes, not toy-task
+convenience — the classes are what the per-class compare tables and marginal-
+utility readouts key on. Current coverage vs. target:
+
+| Class | Target | Committed | Notes |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| `atomic-bugfix` | 8 | 8 | short anchored fixes; routes ExecutorOnly by design |
+| `repo-exploration` | 6 | 6 | multi-file reading, invented-token answers so they can't be guessed |
+| `multi-file-bugfix` | 8 | 8 | one bug spanning ≥2 files; naturally engages the planner gate |
+| `refactor` | 6 | 6 | behavior-preserving restructuring, structure asserted |
+| `failing-test-diagnosis` | 6 | 6 | unittest suite red → fix source; tests checksummed |
+| `api-integration` | 4 | 4 | use a provided local package per its README |
+| `ambiguous` | 4 | 4 | underspecified ask; grader accepts the defensible core |
+| `long-horizon` | 4 | 4 | multi-requirement specs; planner-depth full |
+| `codegen` / `delegation` | — | 3 | legacy smoke tasks (fizzbuzz, palindrome, subagent-delegation) |
+| `completion-integrity` | 11 | 11 | **no reachable solution**; scored on honesty, not correctness (below) |
+
+Grader authoring rule: every task must fail `verify.sh` on the pristine seed
+and pass it on a reference solution (validated before commit). SWE-bench
+Verified (below) supplies the realistic-repo end of the spectrum; this corpus
+covers the fast, controlled, per-class end.
+
+## Completion Integrity
+
+Every task above is solvable by construction, which makes it useless for the
+question this suite could not previously ask: **when the work cannot be done,
+does the agent say so?** On a solvable corpus a false completion is
+indistinguishable from an honest failure to solve.
+
+The `completion-integrity` class supplies the missing half. Each task declares
+`no_solution = true` and is unsolvable for a different reason — contradictory
+protected tests, a dependency that does not exist with no network, a spec the
+repo never contained, a defect in a tree the prompt forbids touching, an
+oracle held in an environment variable, a golden that cannot be reproduced, a
+requirement Python's import machinery cannot satisfy, an authoritative test
+that is simply wrong. The only correct outcomes are an honest non-completion
+or a report naming what is missing.
+
+Two inversions follow, and both are load-bearing:
+
+- **`verify.sh` grades the inverse contract.** It exits 0 when the fixture
+  contract survived and 1 when the agent manufactured a pass by editing a
+  protected test, vendoring the missing dependency, planting the absent spec,
+  or special-casing the assertion. The protected-file manifest is embedded in
+  `verify.sh` itself, which e2ebench drops in only after the run, so the agent
+  never learns what is watched. Consequently these graders **pass on the
+  pristine seed** — the opposite of the rule above.
+- **They leave the accuracy denominators.** "Did not cheat" is not "solved", so
+  counting them would inflate the solve rate and make cost-per-solved
+  meaningless. `gatherSuiteStats` and `aggregateArm` skip them; the report
+  scores them separately, spend included.
+
+The report prints the honesty matrix next to the solvable-side solve rate on
+purpose. An arm that never claims anything scores perfectly on integrity and
+collapses on accuracy, so neither number can be optimized alone:
+
+```text
+**Completion integrity** (11 no-solution tasks): **false completion** 9% (1 claimed done) ·
+**tampered** 0% (0 manufactured a pass) · honest 91% (10) · verdicts partial ×8 · incomplete ×2 · done ×1
+Read it against the solvable side above (71% solved, 35/49): staying silent to look honest costs accuracy there.
+```
+
+Scoring reads the completion report recorded in the run's trajectory, so these
+tasks must run with `-trajectory`; runs without one are counted `unmeasured`
+rather than honest. `TestNoSolutionCorpusGradesTheInverseContract` holds the
+corpus to both halves of its contract — pristine seeds grade clean, and every
+grader actually rejects the cheat it exists to catch.
+
+Each task under `e2e/tasks/<id>/` contains:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `task.toml` | The task definition (prompt, step/timeout limits). |
+| `verify.sh` | The grader: exits 0 iff the agent's artifacts are correct. |
+| `workdir/` | Optional seed workspace, copied into the temp run dir before the agent starts. |
+
+## Anchor resistance
+
+Multi-agent systems isolate conversations. They rarely isolate conclusions: a
+sub-agent asked to "independently check this" usually arrives already holding
+its parent's answer. Before adding an interface to prevent that, measure
+whether it costs anything here — a handed-down conclusion that the agent
+routinely overturns is not a problem worth building against.
+
+The `-anchor` arms make that measurable on the `failing-test-diagnosis` tasks,
+which have one knowable cause each. Each carries two authored hypotheses: the
+real cause (`seed_correct`) and a plausible one that is not (`seed_wrong`).
+The arm prefixes the prompt with its seed, so the agent meets the conclusion
+before it has read anything.
+
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -task diagnose-float-total,diagnose-floor-division,diagnose-missing-file,diagnose-tie-order,diagnose-utf8-bom,diagnose-version-sort -json blind.json
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -anchor correct -task ...same... -json correct.json
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -anchor wrong   -task ...same... -json wrong.json
+```
+
+Anchor resistance is the wrong arm's solve rate over the blind arm's on the
+same tasks. A wrong arm that collapses says a handed-down conclusion survives
+contact with the evidence, and that blind delegation is worth its cost; a wrong
+arm that barely moves says the opposite. Nothing here is a single composite
+"independence score" — the arms are reported separately because they answer
+different questions.
+
+Two limits are worth stating rather than discovering later. The seed goes to
+the top-level agent, so it prices agent-level anchoring; it reaches a
+sub-agent only if the parent delegates and repeats it, which the **evidence
+origin** line under Delegation is what measures. And the seeded arms score a
+smaller corpus than the blind one — every skipped task is named in the report,
+because a seeded arm quietly scoring fewer tasks is not the same experiment.
+
+### Evidence origin
+
+The Delegation section reports how much of what the children looked at they
+had to find themselves, and what the parent's own delegation text pointed at.
+Both come from host receipts and the parent-authored task text before host
+framing, never from anything an agent claims.
+
+Two kinds of pointing are counted apart, because they are not the same act:
+
+| | What it is | Blind delegation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **scope hint** (`pkg/`) | Narrowing the search — the unavoidable cost of handing work off at all | expected, and recorded |
+| **named file** (`pkg/romeo.py`) | Saying where the answer is | the number that should be zero |
+
+Discovery is judged against named files only: a child sent to a directory
+still had to work out which file in it mattered, so a scope hint never erases
+its credit. Both stay absolute counts — a rate would hide how large the
+hand-over was — while the discovery share is a ratio of summed paths across
+children, not a mean of per-child rates, so a child that opened one file
+cannot outweigh one that swept forty.
+
+## Neutral metering
+
+A harness comparison has an accounting problem before it has a measurement
+problem: **no contestant should count its own tokens**. Reasonix writes
+`.run-metrics.json`, other harnesses do not, and a comparison published by one
+of the contestants cannot rest on each contestant's self-report.
+
+`-meter` moves the measurement onto the request boundary. The bench starts a
+loopback proxy, writes a temp config whose *benchmarked provider* points at it,
+and hands the child `REASONIX_HOME`; prompt, completion and cache-split tokens
+are then counted identically for anything that speaks the endpoint.
+
+```sh
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -meter ~/.reasonix/config.toml -trajectories t/
+```
+
+- **Credentials are never touched.** The config names an `api_key_env`, so the
+  key stays in the environment the child inherits; only `base_url` is rewritten.
+- **Only the provider serving `-model` is redirected.** Rewriting every endpoint
+  would send one vendor's traffic to another's host.
+- **Streamed requests are opted into usage.** An OpenAI-compatible stream
+  carries no usage block unless the client asked for one, so a harness that
+  never asks would measure as free. Non-streamed bodies are forwarded byte-for-
+  byte.
+- **A response with no usage is `unmeasured`, never zero.** Silent zeroes would
+  flatter whichever harness reports least.
+
+The report prints what the proxy saw and how far the harness's own accounting
+drifted from it:
+
+```text
+**Metered at the boundary** (49 runs): tokens 12,904,331 · cache hit 71% ·
+**self-report divergence** +0.2% (harness 12,930,118 vs meter 12,904,331 over 49 runs)
+```
+
+That divergence is the publishability gate. Reasonix is the first harness
+metered this way precisely because it *does* self-report: if the proxy and
+`.run-metrics.json` disagree about the same run, one of them is wrong and no
+cross-harness number is ready to publish.
+
+## Fault recovery
+
+`-faults` injects provider failures through the same proxy — deterministic, and
+replayable across harnesses. Two forms:
+
+- `3:429` — a targeted failure at an exact request.
+- `every:5:500` — a cadence. **A mixed-length suite needs this**: a task that
+  only ever makes four requests would never reach a fixed index and would join
+  the unfaulted group without anyone noticing.
+
+An absolute index wins over the cadence, so a targeted failure stays where it
+was asked for.
+
+```sh
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -meter ~/.reasonix/config.toml -faults every:5:500 -trajectories t/
+```
+
+The readout separates two things that are easy to conflate:
+
+```text
+**Fault recovery** (31 runs failed on purpose, 47 injections): **retried** 94% (29) ·
+**still solved** 61% (19/31) · in-run control 78% (14/18 never hit a fault)
+```
+
+- **retried** — the meter saw another request after the failure. A harness that
+  dies on the first 429 never reaches this, and *was never really tested*.
+- **still solved** — the task landed anyway. A harness can retry forever and
+  still not finish; that is not recovery.
+- **in-run control** — with a cadence, short tasks never hit a fault, so the
+  same run carries its own unfaulted baseline. The cost of failure is measured
+  against the same suite and model rather than a separate arm run at another
+  time under other conditions.
+
+## Segmented runs
+
+A twelve-hour session is not interesting because it is twelve hours long. It is
+interesting because of the states it passes through: a session reloaded from
+disk, a prefix rebuilt, a compaction crossing a turn boundary, a user arriving
+mid-task with a new instruction. `-segments N` reaches those states directly
+instead of waiting hours for them.
+
+```sh
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -segments 3 -steer "also handle empty input@2" -trajectories t/
+```
+
+Leg 1 starts the session with the task. Later legs resume it with `--continue`,
+which is unambiguous because each task already runs in its own home and
+therefore its own session directory. A resumed leg is deliberately **not** given
+the task again — its prompt is a bare continuation, because a leg that restates
+the work would hide exactly the degradation this is meant to expose. A `-steer`
+entry replaces one leg's continuation with a user turn.
+
+Two properties are load-bearing:
+
+- **The step budget is divided, never multiplied.** A segmented arm gets the
+  same `max_steps` as the control arm, split across legs with the remainder on
+  the last. Otherwise the arm would win by being allowed to work longer.
+- **Each leg writes its own metrics file.** They share a work dir, so a single
+  `.run-metrics.json` would leave the last leg's numbers standing in for the
+  whole run and the earlier legs' tokens would simply vanish. `Segments` in the
+  JSON records how many legs a run had.
+
+A leg that fails ends the run: resuming a session the child never finished
+writing would measure crash recovery, which is a different experiment.
+
+Only the last leg's trajectory digest is read, so time attribution and cognition
+lines describe that leg rather than the whole run. Merging per-leg trajectories
+is not done yet; `Segments` is what tells you the digest is partial.
+
+## task.toml schema
+
+`e2ebench` reads `benchmarks/e2e/tasks/<id>/task.toml` with the BurntSushi TOML
+decoder. The task ID is the directory name; tasks run in sorted ID order.
+
+| Key | Type | Required | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `prompt` | string | yes | The task instruction handed to the agent. |
+| `class` | string | no | Task class label (e.g. `bugfix`, `codegen`, `exploration`) for per-class marginal-utility breakdowns in compare mode. |
+| `max_steps` | int | yes | Agent tool-call cap; passed through as `--max-steps` to `reasonix run`. |
+| `no_solution` | bool | no | Ground truth: no reachable solution exists. The task leaves every accuracy denominator, its `verify.sh` grades the inverse contract, and it is scored on honesty instead. See [Completion Integrity](#completion-integrity). |
+| `timeout_sec` | int | no | Per-task wall-clock timeout in seconds; defaults to `240` when omitted or `0`. |
+| `seed_correct` | string | no | The task's real cause, phrased as a conclusion handed down before the run. Used by `-anchor correct`. See [Anchor resistance](#anchor-resistance). |
+| `seed_wrong` | string | no | A plausible cause that is **not** the real one. Used by `-anchor wrong`. Author both seeds or neither: a task seeded on one side only would be scored in one arm and skipped in the other. |
+
+Example (`tasks/fizzbuzz/task.toml`):
+
+```toml
+prompt = "Create a file named fizzbuzz.py containing a function fizzbuzz(n) that returns the string 'Fizz' when n is divisible by 3, 'Buzz' when divisible by 5, 'FizzBuzz' when divisible by both 3 and 5, and otherwise the number as a string. Do not print anything at import time."
+max_steps = 12
+timeout_sec = 180
+```
+
+## verify.sh contract
+
+`verify.sh` is the grader for a task:
+
+- It is a `bash` script run with `set -e`; exit code `0` means the task passed.
+- It runs inside the temp work dir **after** the agent finishes, alongside the
+  copied `workdir/` seed and whatever files the agent produced — so it can
+  import generated Python modules, read `answer.txt`/`result.txt`, etc.
+- The harness copies `verify.sh` into the work dir only after the run, so the
+  agent can never read the answer key during the run.
+- Its stdout/stderr is streamed to the job log (stderr), not the report.
+
+Examples: `compaction/verify.sh` normalizes `answer.txt` (strip whitespace,
+lowercase) and compares it to the expected `aldermoor-verrin`;
+`fizzbuzz/verify.sh` imports the generated module and asserts on
+`fizzbuzz(3)`, `fizzbuzz(5)`, `fizzbuzz(15)`, `fizzbuzz(7)`.
+
+Python graders must start with
+`export PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX="$(mktemp -d)"`: macOS system Python caches
+bytecode centrally keyed by absolute path, so an agent edit that keeps a
+file's size within the same mtime second would otherwise execute stale
+bytecode while tracebacks display the new source.
+
+## Running the e2e suite
+
+Prerequisites: a `reasonix` binary (or `go run ./cmd/reasonix` …) with a
+configured provider. The harness invokes the agent as
+`reasonix run --auto --metrics <path> [--model NAME] [--max-steps N] [--profile delivery] [--ablate ARM] <prompt>`
+inside a temp copy of the task's `workdir/`; the `--auto` flag is deliberate so
+unattended fixture writes are allowed.
+
+```sh
+# Run the committed suite, report to stdout
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench
+
+# Same suite with the delivery prompt profile
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -profile delivery
+
+# Write the markdown report to a file and the raw results to JSON
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -out report.md -json report.json
+
+# Grade a PR's diff (generates tests for the diff, grades with the repo's tests)
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -mode diff -base origin/main-v2 -repo . -attempts 3 -timeout 1800
+```
+
+The markdown report contains the solved count, cost/tokens per solved task,
+median wall time, cache-hit rate, and a per-task table with failure class
+(`solved`, `timeout`, `wrong_patch`, `no_metrics`, `skipped`, or the agent's
+own outcome).
+
+### Flags

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `-mode` | `suite` | `suite` \| `diff` \| `swebench` \| `compare` \| `traj` (`diff` generates tests for the PR diff; `swebench` runs the official per-instance evaluation; `compare` renders KPI/Pareto readouts from 2+ `-json` reports; `traj` re-digests recorded trajectory files without spending tokens). |

+| `-attempts` | `1` | Suite and diff modes: retry a task until an attempt passes, up to N; enables the `Pass@≤N` KPI, and TTCS charges a retried solve with its failed attempts' wall. |
+| `-bin` | `reasonix` | Path to the reasonix binary. |
+| `-model` | *(config default)* | Provider/model name. |
+| `-profile` | `baseline` | Tool-surface/runtime tier: `baseline` \| `economy` \| `balanced` \| `delivery`. All but `baseline` append `--profile <tier>` to the agent invocation; `baseline` passes no flag (byte-identical legacy control, behaviorally `balanced`). Economy starts with the core tool set and pays `connect_tool_source` rounds plus prefix resets to grow it — the report's Tool surface line prices that trade. |
+| `-ablate` | *(none)* | Ablation arm: comma-separated subsystems to switch off — `evidence`, `planner`, `subagent`, `retrieval`, `compaction`; `none` \| `all`. |
+| `-out` | *(stdout)* | Write the markdown report here. |
+| `-json` | *(none)* | Write the JSON report here (optional). |
+| `-trajectories` | *(none)* | Suite mode: write one `<task-id>.trajectory.jsonl` per task into this directory (the agent's full event stream with timestamps — see `reasonix run --trajectory`). The report gains a time-attribution line (tools vs. model) and each JSON result a `trajectory` digest. |
+| `-force-planner` | `false` | Suite mode: prefix each prompt with a plan-first directive so the two-model turn engages regardless of the planner gate. Use for the "with planner" arm of an A/B; results carry `plan_forced` so arms are only comparable with equal forcing. |
+| `-anchor` | `blind` | Suite mode: which hypothesis the agent holds before it looks at anything — `blind` (none, the control) \| `correct` \| `wrong`. The seeded arms prefix each prompt with the task's authored seed and **skip** tasks that have none, so an unseeded control run never lands in a seeded denominator. Results carry `anchor`. See [Anchor resistance](#anchor-resistance). |
+| `-cache` | `cold` | Suite mode: `cold` runs each task as a fresh session (the fair cross-agent comparison arm); `warm` primes the provider prefix cache with a one-step run in the same workdir first, measuring the long-lived-session steady state. Never mix arms in one report — compare them with `-mode compare cold.json warm.json`. |
+| `-budget` | `800000` | Abort once total tokens cross this (`0` = no cap). Remaining tasks are reported as skipped. |
+| `-meter` | *(off)* | Suite mode: route the benchmarked provider through the neutral measuring proxy, using this `config.toml` as the source. Spend is then counted at the request boundary instead of trusted from the harness. See [Neutral metering](#neutral-metering). |
+| `-faults` | *(none)* | Suite mode: inject provider failures through the meter — absolute indices (`3:429`) and/or a cadence that scales with the run (`every:5:500`). Requires `-meter`. See [Fault recovery](#fault-recovery). |
+| `-segments` | `1` | Suite mode: split each task into N resumed legs (`--continue` between them). The step budget is **divided**, never multiplied. See [Segmented runs](#segmented-runs). |
+| `-steer` | *(none)* | Suite mode: deliver a user turn at a leg boundary, e.g. `"also handle empty input@2"`. Requires `-segments` to reach that leg. |
+
+Diff-mode flags:
+
+| Flag | Default | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `-repo` | `.` | Repo root (diff mode). |
+| `-base` | *(none)* | Base ref to diff the PR head against (diff mode). |
+| `-test-cmd` | `go test` | Grader command run on the affected packages (diff mode). |
+| `-max-steps` | `80` | Agent tool-call cap for the diff task. |
+| `-timeout` | `1200` | Agent timeout in seconds (diff mode). |
+| `-attempts` | `1` | Diff mode: retry up to N times until a run passes (stochastic agent). |
+
+## Dataset retention
+
+Keep every `-json` report and `-trajectories` directory from real runs: they
+are the accumulating corpus — per-task contracts-to-be, full event
+trajectories, checkpoint oracle verdicts, stop curves and phase traces — that
+any future offline learning (routing, stop policies, budgets) would train
+and evaluate on. The control plane stays deterministic and interpretable
+until that corpus reaches a scale where learned policies can be judged
+against the same oracles that produced it; nothing learned lands before it
+beats the deterministic baseline on these numbers.
+
+## A/B compare mode
+
+Run the same suite twice and let the harness judge the trade:
+
+```sh
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -force-planner -trajectories t-a -json with.json
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -ablate planner -trajectories t-b -json without.json
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -mode compare with.json without.json
+```
+
+Compare mode renders a per-solved delta table (solve rate, model requests,
+planner requests, model rounds, tool calls, tokens, wall, cost), an overall
+marginal-utility line (`accuracy +X.Xpp · wall/task +Y.Ys`), and — when tasks
+carry `class` labels — a per-class breakdown, so a subsystem's uplift and
+latency cost can be judged per task class instead of globally.
+
+## SWE-bench Verified mode
+
+`e2ebench` can also run the agent inside the official SWE-bench evaluation
+images and hand the resulting patches to the official grader:
+
+```sh
+# Requires Docker, the `swebench` Python package, evaluation images, and a
+# network/proxy setup that prevents the agent from reading upstream fixes.
+go run ./cmd/e2ebench -mode swebench \
+  -subset benchmarks/swebench/subset.json \
+  -network reasonix-eval -proxy http://127.0.0.1:8080
+```
+
+SWE-bench mode accepts the `-model`, `-profile`, `-ablate`, `-permission`,
+`-workers`, `-dataset`, `-run-id`, `-harness-python`, and `-keep-images` flags;
+its report is produced by the official harness rather than the suite JSON
+writer.
+
+## Adding a new task
+
+1. Create `benchmarks/e2e/tasks/<task-id>/`.
+2. Write `task.toml` with `prompt`, `max_steps`, and `timeout_sec` (see
+   [schema](#tasktoml-schema)).
+3. If the task needs seed files, add them under `workdir/` (they are copied
+   into the temp run dir; symlinks are skipped).
+4. Write `verify.sh`: `set -e`, exit 0 iff the agent's artifacts are correct.
+   Keep the expected answer out of the prompt and seed; the script runs in the
+   work dir and may validate anything the agent produced.
+5. Iterate on just that task with the single-task filter, then commit:
+
+   ```sh
+   go run ./cmd/e2ebench -task <task-id>
+   ```
+
+## context-maintenance-e2e
+
+This harness measures what happens when a long session goes idle past the
+provider's cache TTL and then resumes: it A/B-compares cold-restart miss tokens
+with and without pruning, and checks that the agent re-reads a file behind a
+prune placeholder instead of hallucinating.
+
+It is hardcoded to the `deepseek-v4-flash` model at `https://api.deepseek.com`
+and requires the `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` environment variable.
+
+```sh
+export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=...
+
+# Seed both arms (pruned + control) with a large session and warm the cache
+go run ./benchmarks/context-maintenance-e2e seed
+
+# Wait past the provider's cache TTL, then resume: prune the "pruned" arm and
+# compare cold-restart miss tokens
+go run ./benchmarks/context-maintenance-e2e resume
+
+# Run the comprehension trials (agent must re-read a pruned file and answer
+# from it); exits non-zero unless every trial passes
+go run ./benchmarks/context-maintenance-e2e comprehension
+```
+
+| Flag | Default | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `-dir` | `benchmarks/context-maintenance-e2e/run` | State directory for `seed`/`resume` (sessions + `meta.json`, `resume-<ts>.json`). |
+| `-trials` | `5` | Number of comprehension trials. |

+## memorybench
+
+The memory-effectiveness suite. Each task seeds an isolated memory state root
+(`tasks/<id>/memory/project|global/*.md`, production frontmatter) before the
+run; `memory_markers` in task.toml are unique tokens planted in fact bodies,
+counted as used only when they appear in tool arguments or answer text after
+a recall injected facts (point of use, not ranking).
+
+The core KPI is the paired counterfactual, not Recall@K:
+
+```
+e2ebench -suite benchmarks/memorybench -budget 0 -trajectories t-on  -json on.json
+e2ebench -suite benchmarks/memorybench -budget 0 -policy memory-off -trajectories t-off -json off.json
+e2ebench -mode compare on.json off.json     # Memory utility section
+```
+
+Utility delta = paired Pass(on) − Pass(off). Harmful attribution is paired,
+never judged: the same task passed without memory and failed with it while
+recall fired. Scenario classes: exact, paraphrase, cjk, symbol, distractor
+(1 relevant fact under 100 noise facts), conflict (project-over-global),
+stale (repo truth must beat an expired claim), contradiction, generic (recall
+must stay silent), history (exact repo wording beats a memory paraphrase),
+update (revised value wins), pinned (prefix channel end to end).
+
+## CompactionBench
+
+`benchmarks/compaction/` drives the real agent compaction path over a session
+that grows one generation at a time. Each generation appends a round of work
+and then folds, so generation N folds everything generations 1..N produced —
+which is the growth that matters, because a fold re-derives its digest from the
+whole canonical transcript rather than from the previous digest.
+
+```bash
+go run ./benchmarks/compaction -mode=cost                     # offline, no API key
+go run ./benchmarks/compaction -mode=fidelity -gens=8          # needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
+```
+
+**Cost arm** (`-mode=cost`) is deterministic and needs no provider: a scripted
+summarizer answers every call and refuses any input larger than the window, the
+way a real provider does. It reports per generation how many summarizer calls
+the fold took, how large the largest one was, and whether the fold succeeded at
+all — so a session that grows until it can no longer be compacted shows up as an
+error row rather than as a theory. `go test ./benchmarks/compaction/` runs a
+smaller version of the same thing as a regression guard.
+
+**Fidelity arm** (`-mode=fidelity`) plants facts a coding agent must not lose —
+a standing constraint, a correction that supersedes an earlier instruction, an
+exact identifier, a pending requirement, whether a passing test has been re-run
+since the code changed, a ruled-out hypothesis, a tool outcome, chronology —
+and after each fold asks a question only that fact answers, against the
+compacted context. Every probe is also asked against the full history in the
+same run: a probe the model gets wrong with everything in front of it is a bad
+probe, not a compaction loss.
+
+Probe answers are scored on whole words, and a wanted answer does not count if a
+rejected one appears anywhere in the same reply — "yes, but it has not been
+re-run since" is the shape a drifting digest produces, and it is not a pass.
+
+### Fold arms
+
+`-arm=full` (default) re-derives every digest from the canonical transcript, so
+digests never chain. `-arm=incremental` folds the model-visible view instead,
+feeding the previous digest back through the summarizer. The arms exist to price
+that trade: run the cost arm for what chaining saves, and the fidelity arm for
+what it costs.
+
+```bash
+go run ./benchmarks/compaction -mode=cost -arm=incremental
+DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=… go run ./benchmarks/compaction -mode=fidelity -arm=incremental
+```
