Provenance: only a person sends thoughts; from=<person> proves it (agents relay with askedBy); the monitor still takes no actions from it (P-967, Razie 2026-10-07). Draft.

Thought flow (P-961, Razie, 2026-10-07): agents answer thoughts sent to them in the thought (Done/Questions + answer marker, done/ai-question, terse); the designer processes a streak into tasks; the monitor answers @monitor thoughts as questions only. Draft.
**the batch budget is five small items, and only [[Spec#^pipe-40]] says so**: it was eight here and in Design 25 while the Spec and `Pipe.batch()` ran five, so the skill told a dispatcher one thing and the code suggested another. Five: a coder reached 70–75% of its context after one large item and five more, [[Spec#^pipe-40]] and the code already ran five, and a smaller batch checkpoints more often. The number is now stated in one place and pointed at from both of the two here, and the sentences that used to repeat it — *eight small items are each a file and a test*, *up to seven more smalls* — no longer name a number at all.
