+```powershell
+pwsh -File .\check-updates.ps1

+
+The command reads authoritative upstream sources for all managed runtime tools and bundled skills. It excludes optional tools and does not change installations, plugins, pins, or configuration.
+
+The report compares toolkit pins with upstream identities. Native plugins have no toolkit pin. The report identifies their upstream release and Codex-owned lifecycle.

+A complete report returns status 0, including when upstream differs. A request error returns status 2 and prints no partial report.

+
+The apply command updates `upstream.lock.json` and the selected toolkit installation. It also refreshes each installed managed plugin by its marketplace name.
+
+The command refuses an untracked source lock or an independent source edit. A prior successful apply remains valid when its source lock matches the selected installation. The command validates upstream data before mutation. It writes the source lock only after installation succeeds.

+If an operation fails, the command stops and returns status 2. Correct the reported cause, then run the command again.

+### 12UI
+
+- Installation and updates: Codex plugin directory, outside toolkit management
+- Use: website projects only
+- Compatibility: the toolkit does not install the `just-every/12ui-plugin` Git package because version `0.2.108` includes unsupported Claude Code hooks
+- Existing plugins: retained without changes

 While an implementation subagent writes, the coordinator performs read-only work.
 
-The coordinator closes each subagent after it reports `complete` or `blocked`.
+A stopped turn does not finish an assignment when a required follow-up remains. Keep the same agent available until the complete assignment reports `complete` or `blocked`.
+
+Capture each terminal delegated result. Then use exposed native thread archival to archive that exact finished agent thread. Always specify the finished thread identifier.
+
+Archive only an explicitly targeted finished agent subtree. Archival cleans persisted thread history and does not prove that agent capacity was released. Do not use a default target that can select the coordinator. Archiving a parent can also archive its descendants, so wait until every descendant has finished and owes no required follow-up. Do not delete session files or edit Codex state directly.
 
 Elapsed time alone cannot authorize a duplicate or restart of an active delegated task. Keep and poll the same task until it completes, reports blocked, or the platform reports that it stopped without coordinator action.
