- roles.driver (unset: the planner's model) and roles.classifier (unset:
the expert's); the mapping is pinned when an item opens, and the driver
and the go-ahead reader run on the item's own (L9).
- profiles: in configuration (tools, strengths, weaknesses), used in
briefings: the driver's instructions say what its helper and expert are
good at, the helper's brief who reads its handback; never a model name.
- delegate(task) and ask_expert(question) for the driver. A helper works
on a branch off the milestone's; on a handback its work comes back as
uncommitted changes, otherwise it is discarded, so harness branches
never hold commits only the clone has. ask_expert keeps its budget.
- Triggers: failure_limit failed commands in a row (Driver's new "stuck"
outcome) or the turn cap, mid-milestone, call a helper in once per
milestone; if it fails too, the item waits on the operator. A
delegation cut off by a crash is discarded at boot.
- Evaluation capture: delegations and ask_expert as before, and the
reader's verdicts as classifier pairs.
Tests: help tests (merge-back, discard, needs a milestone, the stuck
trigger and its once-per-milestone limit, the expert and its budget,
pinning, briefings by profile, boot discarding a cut-off delegation),
config tests for roles and profiles, and the walk delegating with a
scripted helper that sometimes fails, with a delegations_settle property.
The walk found helper commits stranded on a merged PR's branch, fixed by
returning a helper's work uncommitted.
