   5. `agents/` — the isolation boundary: containers, the vendor-only network, and the Claude and Codex adapters.
 - **The central idea.** A runner-owned **commit ledger** records which plan item each commit belongs to. The linking engine uses the ledger, not commit messages, to put every changed line on a plan item's row. Anything the ledger cannot explain goes to the Unplanned or Ambiguous row.
 - **The central safety rule.** Everything that comes from outside is untrusted: issue text, agent output, the browser, and the repository's own files. Only the runner decides. Agents never see your credentials, your other files, or GitHub.
-- **Build state.** Three levels:
+- **Build state:**
   - **In use:** plan and linking library, SQLite store, review screen, Ask (questions to a Claude agent), guarded merge with merge-queue support, ranked Issues screen, agent isolation boundary, and the single-runner lock.
   - **In use for a non-demo review with a `github` block:** planning. `/api/plan/suggestions` and `/api/plan/drafts` ask Claude, through lane D, for suggestion cards or a whole next plan revision (#117, #124). Nothing becomes a revision until you apply it.
-  - **In use with an opt-in `runner` block in `review.json`:** the whole loop after planning. `start` and `resume` on `/api/runner` run a task's plan item by item with a Claude agent (#91). They require current plan-item approvals, bind both the task state and review version, recheck approvals before each later item, and refuse when a completed prefix no longer ends at the task's current head (#107). When a run ends, codeboost publishes the task's pull request, a draft if the task needs a person (#103). Approve & merge merges that pull request (#121). Cancelling a task closes its pull requests (#111). These are API actions; the screen has no buttons for them yet.
-  - **Not built:** the "trust this issue" action and its runner guard (#108), screens for planning and the runner actions, rebasing, running `cmd:` checks, review rounds, and the Planning, Queue and Learning screens.

They require current plan-item approvals, bind both the task state and review version, recheck approvals before each later item, and refuse when a completed prefix no longer ends at the task's current head (#107). After an out-of-scope pause, an approved amended plan can reconcile the completed prefix and resume only the unfinished suffix (#88, PR #134).

+  - **Partly built for pre-merge automation:** a trusted local rebase engine records one-to-one commit mappings, verifies the resulting checkout byte for byte, owns its subprocesses durably, and recovers interrupted work (#22, PR #136). It is not wired into the merge path yet.

 | C, K | Guarded merge, merge queue | Done |
 | D | Agent isolation boundary | Done. Since the isolation gate: bounded diff export (#76), task-change inspection and the runner's commit as a bounded `git bundle` (#66, PRs #85 and #90), owner-scoped recovery for Ask (#95), the plan schema for Claude (#97), gitlink mounts and the pre-launch tree check (#81, #99, PR #100), and Codex refused in every phase (#93, PR #106). The runner-contract follow-ups (#51) are closed: the last one tests export and removal through a recovery handle after a real restart (PR #109). |

 ## Known limits
 
-- History must be linear. Merge commits are refused with a request to rebase.
+- The trusted local rebase foundation is built, but the merge path does not invoke it yet. Until the rest of #22 lands, the current merge flow still refuses a moved base or non-linear history instead of rebasing automatically.
 - Linking is line-based. It cannot see an unrelated edit inside a declared file; only the review agent and you can catch that.
 - The container's guarantees are those of Docker. The agent can always reach its own vendor account.
 - `cmd:` acceptance checks do not run yet, so any plan item with a `cmd:` check blocks merging.
