Options and ownership
Default clone-if-needed/search/report; persist only when asked. "Update"/"pull first" fast-forwards first; "list" reports clones and stops. "Persist"/"add to AGENTS.md" enables that write after search. "No subagents"/"in this thread", or unavailable delegation, selects Direct; otherwise Delegated. Keep this explicit mode switch, not a size heuristic. Conflicting list/search or missing needed URL blocks.
Resolve this skill's absolute anchor, sandbox/manifest.json, sandbox/,
and working repo/AGENTS.md. Sandboxes stay outside the working repo.
Direct executes stage contracts. Delegated uses one Prepare writer, disjoint
read-only Search workers, one Persist writer; parent only dispatches/aggregates.
A failed worker blocks; workers cannot delegate.
