Four themes from a coordinator-feature shakedown:
1. Correctness fixes (return shapes / examples / behavior)
- tools_coordinator.md: drop fake skill names from spawn examples;
fix wrong kwarg ``node_id=`` → ``target_node=``.
- wait_for_workstream.json: document ``message`` + ``truncated``
per-ws fields (always enriched in the client; the JSON shape
lagged the docstring).
- cancel_workstream.json: document the conditional ``dropped``
payload — ``was_running`` always present when ``dropped`` is,
``pending_approval`` and ``queued_messages`` conditional sub-shapes.
- spawn_workstream.json: document full return shape including
``routing_strategy ∈ {rendezvous, target_node, resume}`` and
``status``.
- close_all_children.json: clarify ``skipped`` covers BOTH
hard-deleted children AND already-closed-and-evicted children
(wire shape doesn't distinguish); drop incorrect "echoed back
in response" claim — server returns ``{status, closed, failed,
skipped}``, never echoes ``reason``.
- console/server.py: comment in ``_fanout_on_children`` clarifying
that the 400 "No session" branch fires for cancel-cascade
callers and is unreachable from close_all_children (close
handler 404s instead).
- coordinator_client._utc_now_iso(): switch to bare ISO format
matching the rest of the storage row format used in the codebase.
2. Tightened the 11 longest tool descriptions (~23% cut on the
coord set). Removed ALL-CAPS emphasis, normalised em-dashes,
dropped informal phrasing. No new claims.
3. Removed static approval annotations from descriptions.
Approval is governed at runtime by the unified ``approve_tools``
body and admin-defined ``tool_policies`` (#436); static
"Auto-approved" / "Approval required" / per-action approval
tags become a stale signal. Field names (``pending_approval``)
and operational verb behaviour ("cancel unblocks pending
approvals") stay.
4. Renamed ``task_list`` coord tool → ``tasks``. The previous name
compounded the bare word ``task`` (which collides with chat-template
channels on local models — same reason ``task_agent`` carries
the suffix); the plural form sidesteps the collision and reads
more accurately, since the tool acts on the whole list rather
than a single task. Sweep covers tool JSON, Python methods (5
client methods + 2 session methods + 1 helper + 1 constant),
audit event name (``task_list.update`` → ``tasks.update``), log
tag (``task_list.corrupt_envelope`` → ``tasks.corrupt_envelope``),
frontend SSE event matcher, prompts, docs, and tests. CHANGELOG
entry added.
Plus: dropped the ENV block (Output Environment / Available
rendering / Formatting principles) from coordinator system
prompts. Coordinators orchestrate rather than render rich output
to the user, so the rendering capability matrix is not actionable
for them. Coord prompt drops ~29% (6309 → 4493 chars).
SDK regeneration via ``generate-types.py`` updates both
``openapi-console.json`` (the rename's downstream change) and
``openapi-server.json`` (PR #436 drift — its merge added
``pending_approval_detail`` + ``recent_auto_approvals`` fields to
the Python schemas but didn't regenerate the JSON artifact).
## Behavior changes (operator-visible)
- Audit event name: ``task_list.update`` → ``tasks.update``.
Audit dashboards / SIEM filters / log greps that pinned the old
prefix should update.
- SSE ``tool_result`` events now ship ``name="tasks"`` for the
scratchpad tool. The bundled coord-tree UI is updated atomically;
external consumers reading SSE events by tool name need to update.
- Existing task envelopes in production storage have ``+00:00``
timestamps from the old ``_utc_now_iso``. New writes are bare;
old rows are not backfilled. Within an envelope you may briefly
see mixed formats until each row is re-touched. No code path
string-compares timestamps within an envelope, so this is
cosmetic.
## Validation
- ``ruff check`` + ``ruff format --check`` clean
- ``mypy turnstone/`` clean (175 source files)
- ``pytest -m "not live"`` — 4679 passed, 3 deselected
