 ## 可靠完成上报与通知背压
 
+咨询桥接按真实待发或在途消息分配，不因绑定存在就长期占位。空闲释放前核对worker、待交付回执和未知执行；只停止自有桥接，不终止模型writer。保留并发上限，按持久等待时间公平轮转；人类咨询及决策优先，普通事项达到老化窗口后按先到顺序提升，不能永久饥饿。断网时保留原消息、幂等键和回执，恢复后续传；可能已执行的输入先查原会话和关联回复，禁止换ID盲重放。具体调度与恢复见运行指南。
+
+页面按证据区分已保存、排队、宿主送达、真实处理、关联回复和受阻。保存成功不等于送达，模型回复不等于业务验收；未知结果明确待核对。普通成功阶段收起保留可查，等待和受阻短提示，不堆叠技术回执。
+
 执行负责人完成工作后，先把带稳定报告ID、任务版本、证据和检查结果的完成报告保存到私有持久 outbox，再按有界退避重试交付；服务落库回执确认后才标已上报。重试复用同一幂等ID，不重新执行业务操作；结果未知先对账，达到上限保留待核查状态，交副主控处理。对话中的“完成”不能替代可靠落库，执行完成也不等于集成验收完成；集成负责人另核对源产物、接口和验收证据。
 
 通知按目标背压：同一目标最多一条未处理通知，后续事件保留在持久队列并按关联ID合并。排队accepted不等于处理完成，需核对真实目标turn/处理回执才能释放名额；未知结果不得通过换ID或清本地记录绕过。应用outbox、已知inflight与宿主原生队列分别记账；无法读取宿主总数或确认取消时，必须写未知/不支持，不能宣称原生队列已清空。现有机制与限制见运行指南。

 ## 当前会话与桥接
 
+### 按需调度与断网续传
+
+决策bindings中的`demand`汇总真实持久队列：`queued/inflight/uncertain/human_queued/oldest_queued_at`，不依赖最近500条历史截断。过期且未开始的领取可重新领取；已开始过期或未知的输入只允许核对，不能自动重放。`pending_messages`保留兼容。
+
+fleet按需启动绑定会话的worker/mirror，空闲后安全释放桥接名额，保留原状态文件和真实会话。排队顺序与等待年龄持久保存；人类咨询优先且有界老化，已有在途执行不被抢占。未知执行保留镜像核对能力，不通过杀模型、删除状态或扩大并发解决等待。主机不可用/配置不符时保留受阻信息，不能伪称已处理。
+
+通知器优先决策，其他通知首次进入待发集合的时间持久保存，等待120秒后按先到顺序提升；服务按最早未确认顺序分页返回，断网重启不清等待年龄。提升不绕过每目标背压，已发送结果未知仍以原线程、完整输入与回执对账。镜像确认丢失时用相同外部item身份重传，服务端幂等合并，不重新执行模型。
+
+消息投影`delivery_stage`为`queued/delivered/processing/replied/blocked`；客户端保存确认可短暂显示`saved`。`accepted`宿主排队回执才显示送达，观察到真实turn才显示处理中，关联完成回复才显示已回复；本地started/submitting不能冒充送达。投影不公开完整submission或私有回执。界面不能仅凭已回复判断任务验收完成。
+
 加载skill时默认绑定当前真实会话；用户明确要求专门入口才另建，并将其设为默认。用宿主受支持工具确认真实ID，建立项目归属与看板映射。不要把内部执行器thread和桌面会话混为一谈。
 
 执行器使用既有模型登录。集群未认证时让本机运行worker和mirror，服务/指标留在集群；模型凭据不离开本机。远程API可用 `control.transport="ssh"`：配置入口账号、独立私钥、`remote_client` 与 `remote_config`。客户端使用严格主机校验，在服务端内存读取服务令牌；不把令牌或模型认证拷进前端。
