## Honor Bash tool working directories inside hidden worktrees

During the Orca polling fix on 02SEP2026, Bash tool calls configured with `cwd` beneath `/srv/data/code/jb-pi/harness-tools/.worktrees/fix-orca-polling` ran from the primary checkout instead. A `pwd` probe reproduced the mismatch, and later install and commit commands targeted the primary checkout until they were rerun with an explicit `cd` or `git -C`. The mistaken commit was reset immediately without discarding the pre-existing working changes. Reproduce this with a disposable hidden worktree and require the tool to either honor the requested directory or fail before executing the command. Cover both workspace and nested package directories; keep explicit `cd` and `git -C` as the workaround until the regression is fixed.

## Canonicalize symlinked Pi npm install roots

Publishing `@jbcode/pi-interactive-subagents@3.7.4` exposed a Pi package-manager failure when `~/.pi` resolves through `/home/jb/data/.home-dotdirs/.pi`. Pi 0.84.4 invoked npm 12.0.2 with `--prefix /home/jb/.pi/agent/npm` from the repository cwd. npm rewrote the lockfile root as `file:../../../data/.home-dotdirs/.pi/agent/npm`, recursively duplicated that path until the lock contained 12,576 entries and 18 MB of data, and then failed with `ENOENT` during reification. Canonicalizing the npm root, regenerating both lockfiles from that directory, and installing once restored the 124-entry lock and all configured packages. Update Pi's npm package execution to use the canonical install root as its cwd, add a symlinked-agent-directory regression test, and ensure interrupted installs terminate their package-manager children before another reconciliation begins.

## Merge `_workflows` reference runtime into `workflow`

`extensions/_workflows` was retained only as a reference while `extensions/workflow` was developed, but `workflow` still imports its runner, model, prompt, and serialization modules. Move the required code under `extensions/workflow`, remove obsolete model-authored workflow surfaces, update tests and documentation, and then delete the reference directory. Until that work is complete, `@jbcode/pi-workflow` must remain a private Bun workspace and `extensions/_workflows` must remain excluded from workspaces and publication. Acceptance requires `bun pm pack` for `workflow` to contain every runtime import without reaching outside the package root, followed by an isolated Pi package smoke test.

## Make `pi-links` checks work from linked worktrees

A Slice 0 `node scripts/pi-links.mjs prune --dry-run` from `.worktrees/nono-dynamic-permissions-slice-zero-direct` exited 2 and classified every active link into the primary checkout as an outside-repository conflict. The tool anchors ownership to the current worktree root, while active links correctly target the primary repository checkout. Teach check and dry-run planning to recognize canonical checkouts sharing the same Git common directory without broadening stale-link deletion to unrelated repositories. Add linked-worktree fixtures before changing prune behavior. Until fixed, run host reconciliation only from the integrated primary checkout.

## Harden Nono 0.74 command-policy and resolved-policy diagnostics

Slice 1 found two Nono 0.74 limitations while building behavioral policy proofs. First, command-policy startup fails with `path must be shorter than SUN_LEN` when Nono creates its supervisor socket beneath a moderately long isolated `TMPDIR` such as `/tmp/nono-slice-one-*/sessions/personal/tmp`. Before broker profiles activate command policies, reproduce the maximum safe path, then have the launcher select a private short socket root or confirm an upstream fix. Second, `nono profile show --json` omits resolved `environment`, `command_policies`, `network.connect_port`, and `network.custom_credentials` fields even though strict validation and live enforcement accept them. Do not treat resolved JSON as complete evidence for these capabilities; retain behavioral `nono run` and `nono why --command` proofs until the output is complete and regression-tested.

## Replace `workflow` with a skill-based orchestrator

The strict `workflow` extension repeatedly failed before implementation because planner output and persisted state-machine constraints were too brittle for adaptive subagent orchestration. In a separate session, design a repository-managed skill where the main Pi agent owns the plan, task tree, isolated worktree, explicit user approval gates, verification, and independent review while launching standard `scout` and `worker` subagents directly. Preserve file-ownership boundaries, no inferred approvals, review independence, and resumable repository evidence, but prefer native Pi primitives over a custom orchestration engine. Evaluate a small committed state manifest for crash recovery before retiring or archiving the extension. Use the abandoned `.worktrees/workflow-plan-seed` implementation only as reference; do not integrate it by default.

## Support finished-session resume for Claude CLI subagents

`subagent_message` can steer a running Claude CLI pane, but a completed Claude launch has no Pi session file and cannot use the existing finished-session resume path. Store the Claude session identifier and original sandbox metadata in the parent registry, then resume with Claude's native session mechanism while retaining the original name and fire-and-forget result delivery. Until implemented, keep the README's finished-session contract explicitly limited to Pi-backed subagents.

## Investigate transient concurrent NeMo benchmark failures

During Dictate Phase 0 on 26AUG2026, repeated overlapping throwaway benchmark processes produced two one-off failures in the external `/srv/data/tools/parakeet-v3/.venv` environment:

1. `ASRModel.restore_from()` raised `MemoryError` while OmegaConf rebuilt `joint.vocabulary`. The exact clean/noisy/silence harness passed on its immediate rerun.
2. A later production-adapter check raised `ValueError: bad marshal data (invalid reference)` while importing `torch._tensor`. An immediate standalone `import torch` succeeded, and the cached `_tensor.cpython-312.pyc` passed `marshal.loads()`.

The production service serializes model loading and inference and therefore does not intentionally launch concurrent NeMo processes. Before treating concurrent workers as supported, build a repeatable cold-load stress loop, monitor process and cgroup memory, disable bytecode writes, and determine whether the failures come from NeMo/OmegaConf resource pressure or concurrent access to the external environment's bytecode cache.

## Repair nono self-diagnosis after terminal path drift

During Dictate waveform testing on 26AUG2026, every Unix socket `bind()` in `services/dictate/tests/test_unix_server.py` failed with `EACCES` or `EPERM`, including when `TMPDIR` pointed inside the repository worktree. The required diagnostic also failed:

```text
$ nono why --self --path /tmp --op readwrite
nono: Configuration parse error: sandbox state path drifted at reload: serialized resolved=/dev/pts/15, actual resolved=/dev/null
```

Reproduce in a non-interactive or reloaded Pi session, determine whether `/dev/pts/*` should be serialized by identity rather than resolved path, and make `nono why --self` report the active policy even after the controlling terminal changes. Also verify whether the Pi profile intentionally denies `AF_UNIX` socket creation in otherwise writable paths; the Dictate service loop tests need local throwaway sockets.

## Reuse the verified Dictate model during reinstall

The protocol-v2 reinstall on 26AUG2026 attempted to download the pinned model again even though the exact model already existed under `~/.local/share/pi-dictate/models/`. The sandbox correctly blocked unapproved access to `huggingface.co`, so installation had to be repeated with the installed model passed explicitly through `--model-source`.

Teach `services/dictate/install.sh` to checksum an existing model first and keep it when it matches `MODEL_SHA256`. Download only when the model is absent or invalid, while preserving the current atomic temporary-file replacement for new model sources.
