The Agents views gain a Hierarchie view: an org chart of the chair and
the line offices read from the council claims. The operator appoints,
hands over and recalls an office there; the page signs each change with
the passkey and a host unit (client/offices.py, offices path unit)
verifies the signature, removes a live holder itself and runs a plain
council.py claim for the successor. council.py loses the --operator
flag, so no agent can override a live holder.
The agent order is now separate from task priority: rasci.py agents
order stores it in agent-order.json beside the register through the
nofollow helpers and never writes a --prio pin. It only breaks ties of
equal task rank, also among the queue grants. The Hierarchie view edits
it as a drag list.
Host units run the installed skill scripts, so orchestrator.sh keeps the
offices unit off while the installed council.py, nofollow.py or rasci.py
differ from the tree. Job files, council files and hub records are read
with O_NOFOLLOW and O_NONBLOCK and size caps; nofollow.rewrite replaces
a claim without creating directories, so a beat never revives a released
office.

The council root is writable by every agent, and operator.py runs
rasci.database() outside the sandbox. A symlinked rasci.json made it
read any JSON file the operator can read and write it back into the
council as a regular file; a symlinked rasci.lock made it create files
at the link target; a FIFO hung every register call.
load() now reads through nofollow.read_text and database() locks and
writes through nofollow.locked and nofollow.replace. A register that is
no object of task objects, or nested past the recursion limit, exits 2
instead of a traceback. nofollow.open_below also refuses a file with
more than one link, so a hard link to a file outside the council is
refused like a symlink.

The Maintainer messaged every agent about every hotfix, waking each for a full turn. Hotfixes are now register rows hotfix/<slug> (repository identity by git common dir and normalized origin URL, branch, sha, PR, failing-line signature, targets, stage), written with hotfix.py add/update and queried only when an agent acts, never by cron: pending lists merged hotfixes missing from HEAD (filtered by targets) and open ones; match finds hotfixes whose signature fits a failing line, evaluated in one worker under a shared deadline; void tells gate.py run, before every target, when a merged hotfix missing from HEAD makes the rest of the run worthless (exit 3), the operator's one exception to never cutting a job short; sync fetches first, then under the worktree locks merges origin/<default> and every base up the funnel chain recorded with rasci.py set --base, refusing a detached or foreign branch, a diverged base or a busy worktree, aborting cleanly on a conflict.
gate.py gains hold, which runs any heavy command, deploys included, under the worktree lock, forwards signals, returns the command's code and exits 75 when busy; run holds the same lock and takes the sync lock shared. kvb-check-gate, kvb-ci-triage, kvb-org-organize (Peer protocol, capacity), kvb-org-coordinate and kvb-org-split follow; rasci gaps, wsjf and artifacts skip hotfix and operator rows. Three independent skeptic rounds found 34 defects (three of them high), all fixed with tests; negative controls fail against the earlier code.

Agents read these tables on every status, organize and matrix step. rasci.py show now prints Prio, WSJF, Task, Status, Worker and A (task slug never cut, title cell 40 characters, worker and A 24), down from 1817 to 1003 words on the live register; show --wide prints the old 14-column table byte for byte. council.py list prints office, holder, state and a 40-character work cell with whitespace collapsed, 1236 to 276 words; list --long prints the old form. The old assertions now run against --wide and --long; new tests pin the compact defaults, cutting, --all, --mine and pipes in titles, and fail against the previous scripts.

rasci.py gains agents, which groups the open tasks by worker in rank order (operator pins first, then WSJF) and prints rank, agent, count and tasks, and order "A,B,...", which checks the names against that list and, under the register lock, pins the listed agents' tasks 1..n in the chosen order, keeping each agent's own task order, and drops the pins of every agent left out so they rank by WSJF after them. The new kvb-org-priority skill shows the current order, offers keep, up to two reasoned suggestions or the operator's own order through Other, applies it and tells the chair and every reordered agent. kvb-org-rasci documents both commands and names order as the one exception to writing only your own rows. test_rasci covers the order, the pins in show, the dropped pins and the usage errors.

kvb-org-wsjf: the chair asks its subordinates for Fibonacci estimates of business value and complexity, rasci.py estimate records them per party, and WSJF = median value / median complexity ranks the tasks. rasci.py wsjf prints the WSJF table with OKR and the task id; the register's show takes its Prio from that rank (an operator --prio pin first) and adds a WSJF column. Four descriptions were tightened to keep the listing budget.

rasci.py keeps the organisation's tasks in <council root>/rasci.json: RASCI roles, objective with key results, priority, worker, start, end, workdir, branch, tools and artifacts; done is refused while a key result is open. council.py writes every claim, takeover and release through, and show lists the live claims as one row per task with R, A, S, C and I columns. kvb-org-artefacts manages the artifacts in the same table for kvb-cleanup. The org, plan, triage, tune, cleanup, branch-gc and dream skills now record into and read from the register; five descriptions were tightened to keep the listing budget.
