When the host env carries a valid GENTLE_SHELL_CHILD_PACKAGE_INJECTION, every delegated child receives exactly that set (--no-extensions first for a takeover) instead of the curated child-context/child-safety entries. Without a valid signal, children keep the curated entries. Refs Gentleman-Programming#1690
Children load the whole package when the launcher injection signal is present; the curated child-context/child-safety entries only cover a parent without it. Reword the stale extensionPaths provenance comment. Refs Gentleman-Programming#1690
Pi drops unknown --tools names silently. The runner now passes the exact requested list to the child, the child compares it with its registered tools at session_start and reports missing names through a marked notify, and the parent records that notify as a task note. Refs Gentleman-Programming#1690
…ve child probe
Session_start handlers run in extension load order, so a tool that a later extension registers in its own session_start was reported as missing. Run the missing-tools comparison at the first before_agent_start instead, after every session_start handler. Refs Gentleman-Programming#1690

Approving. This directly resolves #1690 and #1688.
Key highlights:
- Full capability parity: Forwarding the injected package set gives isolated subagents access to guardrails, session-change capture, codegraph, and package tools without relying on global
settings.jsondeclarations. - Missing tool visibility: Comparing
pi.getAllTools()against requested tools at the firstbefore_agent_startprevents silent tool drops when an agent requests a capability absent from the runtime. - Clean fallback: Retaining the frozen fallback (
child-context.tsandchild-safety.ts) for manual spawns preserves backward compatibility while avoiding redundant registrations.
CodeRabbit's note regarding the task doc timing is non-blocking. Ready to land once #1770 and #1771 are merged.
Align the ODD record and a runner test comment with T6b, and mark the PR2 polish follow-up as done. Refs Gentleman-Programming#1690

Approved. All four contract claims hold: the signal forwards verbatim into TaskRequest with --no-extensions first, the frozen fallback degrades to fewer capabilities rather than more, the requested-tools check waits for before_agent_start so late registrations are not flagged, and the parser pins from #1771 are respected. The security surface is clean: the signal is host-env only, a child cannot grant itself more than the launcher intended, and the missing-tools note can only land in the child's own task.
Focused suites pass on my side (574/574 across the five touched files, typecheck at the 186-diagnostic baseline, generated modules in sync).
Two non-blocking notes for the record: reported is set before the try in the tools check, so one transient getAllTools() throw permanently suppresses the warning for that child. A finally-shaped fix would close it. And the PR description says the curated fallback is two entries; it is three (nan-provider included). The realpath dedup claim resting on the PR4 live probe is fine as documented.

Summary
GENTLE_SHELL_CHILD_PACKAGE_INJECTION(feat(launcher): export the injected package set for delegated children #1771), every child gets exactly that set (--no-extensionsfirst for a takeover, then--extension <path>per entry). The child then has the package commands, tools, guardrails, session-change capture (also fixes bug: Isolated worker write/edit changes are missing from /gentle:changes #1688), codegraph, review tools, skills and prompts.pi -e), children keepchild-context.tsandchild-safety.ts. That list is now documented as a frozen fallback: new child behavior ships in the package. Both files are package entrypoints anyway, and Pi dedupes extension paths by realpath, so nothing registers twice. I can drop the fallback if you prefer.--toolsdoes not exist in the child, instead of Pi dropping it silently. Pi 1.0 has no RPC to list tools, so the check runs in the child at the firstbefore_agent_start(after everysession_start, so late registrations are not flagged), compares withpi.getAllTools(), skipsmcp__*, and sends one marked notify that the parent records as a task note.This is PR 3 of 4.
