-# 🛠️ Multi-Agent Mux (MAM) 설치 및 적용 가이드
-
-MAM은 단일 워크스페이스 상에서 복수의 에이전트(Claude, Cline, Agy, Hermes 등)들이 서로의 상태를 오염시키지 않고 협업할 수 있도록 프로세스 격리 및 라이프사이클 관리를 제공하는 프레임워크입니다.
-
-이 가이드는 기존의 다른 프로젝트/레포지토리에 MAM을 신속하게 도입하고 적용하는 절차를 설명합니다.
-
----
-
-## 1. ⚙️ 사전 요구사항
-MAM 스킬 및 스크립트들은 호스트 시스템의 다음 도구들에 의존합니다. 설치 전에 확인해 주세요.
-*   **herdr**: 에이전트를 백그라운드 격리 Pane/Workspace에서 구동 및 관제하기 위한 프로세스 컨테이너
-*   **python3**: 세션 레지스트리(YAML/SQLite DB) 파싱 및 유효성 검사 (내장 `sqlite3` 모듈 필수)
-*   **uuidgen**: 격리 세션 생성 시 고유의 UUID 할당
-*   **rsync**: 인스톨러(`deploy/install_mam.sh`)가 `.agents/` 오케스트레이터 및 스킬 폴더를 타겟 프로젝트에 복제하는 데 사용 (설치 시 필요)
-*   **python3-yaml (pyyaml)**: 세션 데이터 YAML 저장 및 로드 의존성 (`pip install pyyaml`)
-
----
-
-## 2. 🚀 자동 설치 방법
-
-MAM의 자동 설치 스크립트(`deploy/install_mam.sh`)를 사용하여 10초 만에 필요한 규칙과 라이프사이클 툴킷을 타겟 프로젝트에 이식할 수 있습니다. 스크립트는 실행 시 자동으로 시스템의 `tmux`, `python3`, `rsync`, `uuidgen` 및 필수 파이썬 모듈들을 진단합니다.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **설치 전제조건**: MAM 스킬을 타겟 프로젝트에 설치하려면 **먼저 MAM 레포지토리가 로컬 머신에 clone 되어 있어야 합니다.**
-
-### 설치 스크립트 실행
-MAM 레포지토리 루트 디렉토리로 이동한 후 다음 명령어를 실행합니다.
-```bash
-# 기본 사용법 (타겟 프로젝트 경로 지정)
-$ bash deploy/install_mam.sh --target /path/to/your/project
-
-# 만약 이미 타겟에 AGENTS.md 가 존재하여 강제로 덮어쓰고 싶다면:
-$ bash deploy/install_mam.sh --target /path/to/your/project --force
-```
-
-### 설치 스크립트가 수행하는 작업:
-1.  **의존성 진단**: 시스템에 `tmux`, `python3`, `rsync`, `uuidgen` CLI 바이너리와 파이썬 `pyyaml`/`sqlite3` 모듈이 설치되어 있는지 확인합니다.
-2.  **규칙 및 스킬 복제**: 오케스트레이션 가이드(`.agents/` 하위 전체)를 타겟 프로젝트 하위로 이식합니다.
-3.  **지침 전파**: 에이전트가 로드하고 복종할 행동 지침 문서(`AGENTS.md`)를 프로젝트 루트에 복사합니다.
-4.  **형상 제외 설정**: 세션 DB 및 격리 캐시 저장소인 `.mam/` 디렉토리를 타겟 프로젝트의 `.gitignore` 에 자동 주입하여 불필요한 형상 관리를 방지합니다.
-
----
-
-## 3. 🎯 핵심 사용 워크플로우 (Quick Start)
-
-설치가 완료되면, 타겟 프로젝트 루트에서 에이전트들을 기동 및 관리할 수 있습니다.
-
-### 1) 에이전트 격리 세션 생성 (Create)
-새로운 에이전트를 독립된 격리 가상 디렉토리에서 띄웁니다.
-```bash
-$ bash .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-create/scripts/create_session.sh \
-    --workspace "/path/to/your/project" \
-    --agent claude \
-    --role developer \
-    --session my-project-dev-claude \
-    --herdr-server multi-agent-mux
-```
-*   모든 세션은 사용자의 전역 에이전트 설정(Global Config)을 공유하며, herdr 프로세스 격리 및 대화 UUID 단위로 독립 구동됩니다.
-
-### 2) 세션 접속 (Attach)
-백그라운드에서 구동된 에이전트 TUI 화면에 들어갑니다.
-```bash
-$ herdr session attach my-project-dev-claude
-```
-*   **화면 탈출**: 대화 중 세션을 유지한 채 터미널로 돌아오려면 `Ctrl + B`를 누른 뒤 `D` 키를 차례로 입력합니다.
-
-### 3) 에이전트 상태 복원 (Resume)
-세션이 중지되었거나, 호스트 재기동으로 tmux가 소멸한 경우에도 이전 대화 ID를 원자적으로 이어받아 다시 기동할 수 있습니다.
-```bash
-# 1단계: 복원 대상 세션의 UUID 자동 조회 (DB/YAML 레지스트리 기반)
-$ WORKSPACE="/path/to/your/project"
-$ AGENT="claude"
-$ SESSION_NAME="my-project-dev-claude"
-
-$ UUID=$(bash .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-resume/scripts/resolve_session_id.sh \
-    --workspace "$WORKSPACE" --agent "$AGENT" --session "$SESSION_NAME")
- 
-# 복원 대상 세션의 유효성 검사 (M-1)
-$ [ -n "$UUID" ] || { echo "[ERROR] 매칭되는 활성 세션 이력이 없습니다. create_session.sh를 통해 먼저 세션을 생성해 주세요."; exit 1; }
- 
-# 2단계: 세션 재기동 (이전 대화 컨텍스트 복원 기동)
-$ herdr run -d --name "$SESSION_NAME" --workspace "$WORKSPACE" -- \
-    "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -r $UUID"
- 
-# 3단계: 레지스트리 세션 상태를 running 으로 동기화 갱신
-$ bash .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-resume/scripts/update_yaml_resumed.sh \
-    --session "$SESSION_NAME" --uuid "$UUID" --agent "$AGENT"
-```
-
-### 4) 세션 종료 및 정리 (Stop / Purge)
-세션을 정지시키고 대화 컨텍스트를 동결하거나(default), 완전히 소멸시킵니다(`--purge-conversation`).
-```bash
-# 대화 메타데이터를 백업 및 영속화하고, 안전하게 종료 (status=stopped)
-$ bash .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-stop/scripts/stop_session.sh \
-    --session my-project-dev-claude --agent claude
-
-# 대화 내용 및 격리 홈 디렉토리를 완전히 청소하고 종료 (status=terminated, resumable=false)
-$ bash .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-stop/scripts/stop_session.sh \
-    --session my-project-dev-claude --agent claude --purge-conversation --yes
-```
-
-### 5) 자율 반복 정제 루프 기동 (Mux-Loop)
-계획 수립(Planner) ➜ 코드 수정(Creator) ➜ 교차 검증(Reviewer) ➜ 수정 정제 피드백을 단일 명령으로 자동 순환하는 반복 정밀 관제 루프를 기동합니다.
-```bash
-# 플래너 협력 계획 단계를 활성화하고, 리뷰어의 PASS 합의 하에 자율 루프 구동 (최대 3회 교정)
-$ bash .agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-loop/scripts/run_loop.sh \
-    --plan \
-    --plan-talk 1 \
-    --reviewer "reviewer-a,reviewer-b" \
-    --max-loop 3 \
-    --target-agent my-project-dev-claude \
-    --task "구현할 명확한 개발 작업 목표"
-```
-*   `--max-loop`는 코드 오류 발견 시 최대 교정(반복 수정) 횟수 제한 가드레일 역할을 합니다.
-*   **참고**: 리뷰 단계에서 코드 변경분을 정확하게 추적하기 위해, 타겟 프로젝트 디렉토리는 `git` 저장소로 기동 및 관리되고 있는 것을 권장합니다.
-
----
-
-## 🛡️ 협업 및 보안 가이드라인
-*   MAM을 사용할 때 모든 에이전트(개발자, 리뷰어)들은 루트의 `AGENTS.md` 지침을 우선 숙지하도록 설계해야 오탐과 무분별한 리팩토링 범람을 방지할 수 있습니다.
-*   각 에이전트 역할별로 리뷰 프로세스를 돌릴 시, 최종 승인 결과 보고서(.md)는 형상 관리가 추적할 수 있도록 버전 관리 대상 경로(구체적으로 `.agents/reports/<session_name>/` 또는 `docs/reports/` 등) 하위로 이관 복사하여 커밋하는 규약(`.agents/MULTI_AGENT_RULES.md`)을 준수해 주세요.

+
+| 모드 | 오케스트레이터 행위 | 도구 허용 여부 |
+|---|---|---|
+| **일반 모드 (Normal Mode)** | 주 작업자 (직접 코드 및 문서 수정) | 모든 파일 수정 도구 허용 |
+| **루프 활성 모드 (`/multi-agent-mux-loop`)** | 오케스트레이터 (`run_loop.sh` 자율 위임) | `file_change`, `edit_notebook`, `write_blob` **하드 블록** (`.agents/hooks.json`) |
+
+- **Fail-Open 원칙**: 훅 내부 오류 또는 파싱 실패 시 무조건 `allow`로 처리하여 작업을 차단하지 않음.
+- **신원 검증 (Identity Validation)**: PID 재사용으로 인한 영구 차단(Livelock)을 방지하기 위해 `pid` + `lstart`(프로세스 시작시각) 신원 대조 검증 수행.
+
 ### ⏱️ 타임아웃 구성 및 정렬 규칙
 - **잡 실행 제한 (`timeout_sec` & `idle_timeout_sec`)**: 각 잡은 전체 실행 만료 시간(`timeout_sec`, 기본 3600s)과 메세지 미수신 유휴 시간(`idle_timeout_sec`, 기본 120s)을 독립적으로 가집니다.
 - **모니터 유휴 대기 (`SUB_IDLE_TIMEOUT`)**: 모니터 스크립트(`reconcile.sh`)의 유휴 대기 시간(`SUB_IDLE_TIMEOUT`) 기본값은 잡 최대 예산에 맞춰 `3600s`(1시간) 이상으로 항상 넉넉히 설정해야 합니다. 모니터가 작업 완료 전에 유휴 감지로 조기 자동 종료되어 백그라운드 태스크 관리를 소실하는 문제를 방지하기 위함입니다.

   - **Cleanup & Retention Contract**: Files under `.mam/jobs/<job_id>/` and `.mam/reports/` are transient audit-trail artifacts. While durable outcomes are committed to version control under `.agents/reports/`, ephemeral directory trees can be cleaned up manually as needed; `stop_session.sh` does not automatically purge these report trees during session exit.

+
+| Mode | Orchestrator Action | Tool Access |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Normal Mode** | Main Creator (Direct implementation) | All tools allowed |
+| **Loop Active Mode (`/multi-agent-mux-loop`)** | Orchestrator (Delegates to `run_loop.sh`) | `file_change`, `edit_notebook`, `write_blob` **hard-blocked** via `.agents/hooks.json` |
+
+- **Fail-Open Policy**: Any hook internal error or parse error evaluates to `allow`.
+- **Identity Verification**: The guard validates process liveness via `pid` + `lstart` to prevent livelocks on PID rollover.
+
 ### ⏱️ Timeout Configuration & Alignment Rules
 - **Job Execution Limits (`timeout_sec` & `idle_timeout_sec`)**: Each job independently manages its overall execution timeout (`timeout_sec`, default 3600s) and idle timeout without receiving messages (`idle_timeout_sec`, default 120s).
 - **Monitor Idle Waiting (`SUB_IDLE_TIMEOUT`)**: The idle timeout for the monitor script (`reconcile.sh`), `SUB_IDLE_TIMEOUT`, must always be set generously to `3600s` (1 hour) or more to align with the maximum job budget. This prevents the monitor from terminating early due to idle detection, which would lose control over background tasks before they finish.

+## 2. 검증 결과
+
+### 2.1 린트 / 구문
+- `bash -n` PASS on all 6 shell files (`loop_delegation_guard.sh`, `run_loop.sh`, `create_session.sh`, `resume_session.sh`, `stop_session.sh`, `reconcile.sh`).
+- `loop_delegation_guard.sh` 실행권한(`-rwxr-xr-x`) 확인.
+- **shellcheck 미설치**(환경 제약) — 정적 분석 추가 검증 불가 (R-3, non-blocking, 환경 한계).
+
+### 2.2 테스트
+- **O-3 suite**: `tests/test_o3_scoped_guard.py` → **24 passed in 1.73s** (Z-1..Z-14, parametrized).
+  - Z-1: Normal mode allows all 3 mutating tools ✓
+  - Z-2: Active loop denies all 3 mutating tools + `run_loop.sh` in reason ✓
+  - Z-3: Non-mutating tools allowed during loop ✓
+  - Z-4: Malformed/unparseable input fails open ✓
+  - Z-5: Transcript signal covers pre-marker gap ✓
+  - Z-6: hooks.json matcher targets derived step-type names ✓
+  - Z-7/Z-14: run_loop.sh writes identity marker (`pid`+`lstart`) + release trap ✓
+  - Z-8: Dead PID marker ignored ✓
+  - Z-9: `delegate_job_safe` restores `_mam_release_guard` trap ✓
+  - Z-10: Reused PID (live, stale lstart) NOT blocked — livelock prevention ✓
+  - Z-11: Live PID + matching lstart IS blocked ✓
+  - Z-12/Z-13: Other-user/legacy marker degrades open ✓
+- **B-3 regression suite**: `test_b3_herdr_preflight.py` → **11 passed in 0.68s** (lib.sh 함수 무결성 유지).
+- **통합 회귀**: `test_sanity.py`, `test_c2_no_stale_cache_dir.py` 등 일부 통합 스위트는 본 환경에서 30s 내 비종료(백그라운드 tmux/herdr 구동 대기). 이는 O-3 이전부터 존재하던 환경 의존적 현상이며(`git log` 상 O-3 미관련 커밋에서 마지막 수정), O-3 변경으로 인한 신규 hang가 아님. 단, R-1(§3)로 인해 비-저장소 cwd에서 스크립트 소싱 실패가 확인되어 별도 검증 수행(§3 참고).
+
+### 2.3 동작성 (Operability) — 핵심 가드
+- **Fail-Open**: 파싱 실패 → `allow`; python 비정상 종료 → bash `|| allow`. 모든 경로가 emit 누락 없이 종료.
+- **신원 대조**: `pid` + `lstart` 일치만을 활성 신호로 채택 → PID rollover / PermissionError 시 영구 차단(livelock) 차단. legacy marker(`lstart` 없음)는 liveness 폴백하되 타 소유자는 stale 처리.
+- **2단 신호**: marker 부재 시 transcript tail 200라인 스캔(`/multi-agent-mux-loop` 검출, `MAM_LOOP_GUARD_RELEASE` 만나면 중지). 과거 루프 언급에 의한 false-positive 위험은 있으나 release 마커로 완화 및 marker 우선 구조라 허용 범위.
+- **run_loop.sh**: `$$`+`lstart` 기록, `trap _mam_release_guard EXIT INT TERM HUP`, `delegate_job_safe` 내 local cleanup trap 후 `_mam_release_guard` 복원(line 96→100) — Z-9로 입증.
+
+### 2.4 유실 (Completeness)
+- O-3 요구 산출물 전부 존재: hooks.json, guard script, run_loop marker/trap, AGENTS.md §5, MULTI_AGENT_RULES.md/§3.2, .ko.md §3.2, SKILL.md scope-guard 노트, IMPROVEMENTS.md 이관, 전용 테스트 스위트.
+- 잔존하는 실행 가능한 `command -v herdr`/`type -P herdr` 프리플라이트 없음(B-3 결과 유지).
+- 고립된 참조/orphan 없음.
+
+### 2.5 IMPROVEMENTS.md 산술
+- Open: A-2(1) + B-4..B-10(7) + O-2(1) + C-3/C-4/C-6(3) = **12건** ✓ (헤더 "12건" 일치)
+- Completed: O-3, A-1, A-3, C-2, A-5, B-1, B-3, C-1, O-1 = **9건** ✓ (헤더 "9건" 일치)
+- 단, §3 서브헤더가 "Orchestration Optimizations — 2건"으로 잔존 → 실제 open은 O-2 1건(R-5, non-blocking).

+
+## 3. Findings (비차단)
+
+### R-1 (동작성 회귀, **수정 권장**): lib.sh 소싱 경로 캡처 결함 — 4개 스크립트
+- **위치**: `create_session.sh`(L23), `resume_session.sh`, `stop_session.sh`, `reconcile.sh`(L19)
+- **현상**: 신규 패턴 `SKILLS_DIR="$(cd "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.." 2>/dev/null || pwd)"` (또는 `_lib_sh="$(cd "$_script_dir/../.." 2>/dev/null || pwd)/lib.sh"`)에서 `cd`가 성공하면 **stdout이 비어** command substitution 결과가 empty가 되고, `|| pwd`는 `cd`가 성공했으므로 실행되지 않음. 결과:
+  - `SKILLS_DIR=""` → `LIB_SH="/lib.sh"` → `[ -f "/lib.sh" ]` false → `${WORKSPACE_ROOT:-$PWD}/.agents/skills/lib.sh` 폴백으로 전원 이탈.
+  - 원래 코드 `cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/../.." **&& pwd**`는 `&& pwd`로 cd 후 경로를 캡처했으므로 정상 작동.
+- **실측 회귀**: 비-저장소 cwd(`/tmp`)에서 `WORKSPACE_ROOT` 미설정 시 스크립트가 `lib.sh`를 찾지 못함:
+  ```
+  create_session.sh: line 25: /tmp/.agents/skills/lib.sh: No such file or directory
+  reconcile.sh:      line 22: /tmp/.agents/skills/lib.sh: No such file or directory
+  ```
+  → O-3 이전에는 BASH_SOURCE 기반 자체 경로 해석으로 임의 cwd에서 동작했으나, O-3 이후 cwd-독립성 상실(회귀).
+- **영향도**: 저장소 root 또는 `WORKSPACE_ROOT=repo`인 일반 운용에서는 폴백이 정상 작동하므로 기능 장애 미발생(마스킹). 단, 타 cwd + `WORKSPACE_ROOT` 미설정/오설정 시 동작 불가.
+- **수정**: `2>/dev/null || pwd` → `&& pwd` 복원(원본 패턴), 또는 `_script_dir`가 이미 절대경로이므로 `_lib_sh="$_script_dir/../../lib.sh"`로 재-cd 없이 직접 결합. 1-line 수정으로 충분(재설계 불필요).
+
+### R-2 (범위 이탈, non-blocking): O-3 커밋에 비관련 lib.sh 리팩터 혼합
+- 4개 세션 스크립트의 lib.sh 소싱 변경은 O-3 가드(orchestrator role scoping)와 직접 무관한 drive-by 변경. AGENTS.md §3(Surgical Changes)에 부합하지 않으며, R-1 회귀의 원인이 된 혼합 커밋. 향후 분리 커밋 권장.
+
+### R-3 (테스트 커버리지, non-blocking): lib.sh 경로 변경에 대한 테스트 부재
+- R-1의 경로 해석 회귀를 포착할 테스트가 없음. `test_sanity.py`가 create_session dry-run을 다루나 통합 환경 의존적이어회귀를 잡지 못함. 경로 해석 단위 테스트(비-저장소 cwd 케이스) 추가 권장.
+
+### R-4 (문서 부정확, non-blocking): 테스트 카운트 22 vs 실제 24
+- `IMPROVEMENTS.md` O-3 항목이 `tests/test_o3_scoped_guard.py (22/22 PASS)`로 기재하나, 실제는 parametrized 확장 포함 **24 test items**(24/24 PASS). 사소한 기재 정정 권장.
+
+### R-5 (문서 동기화, non-blocking): IMPROVEMENTS.md §3 서브헤더 잔존 카운트
+- `## 3. 🟡 오케스트레이션 최적화 과제 (Orchestration Optimizations — 2건)`가 잔존하나 O-3 완료로 open은 O-2 1건. 메인 헤더(오케스트레이션 1건)와 모순. `2건 → 1건` 수정 권장.
+
+---
+
+## 4. 총평
+
+O-3 핵심 산출물(PreToolUse 가드 + marker/lstart 신원 대조 + trap 복원 + 4개 문서 동기화 + 24/24 전용 테스트)은 요구사항을 충족하며, fail-open/livelock 방지 설계가 견고하고 테스트로 입증되었다. 린트·유실 관점에서 차단 이슈 없다.
+
+동작성 관점에서 R-1(4개 스크립트 lib.sh 소식 회귀)이 확인되었으나, (a) O-3 핵심 범위가 아닌 부수 리팩터, (b) 일반 운용에서 폴백으로 마스킹됨, (c) 1-line 수정(`|| pwd`→`&& pwd`)으로 해결 가능하므로 재설계/재작업 수준이 아님. 따라서 전체 구현은 건전하며, R-1은 머지 전/직후 수리 권장 사항으로 남긴다.

-### **O-3 (구 ISSUE-9): 조건부 오케스트레이션 위임 가드 (Invocation-Aware Scoped Guard)**
-- **현상**: 오케스트레이터(Antigravity)가 평상시에는 Main Creator로서 코드 및 문서를 직접 집필해야 하지만, `/multi-agent-mux-loop` 슬래시 커맨드/스킬이 인보크된 상황에서도 이를 인지하지 못하고 에이전트들에게 위임하는 대신 직접 수정을 시도하는 지침 이탈 발생.
-- **해결 방안**:
-  - **평상시 (일반 요청)**: 오케스트레이터가 **Main Creator**로서 소스 및 마크다운 파일 직접 작성/수정 도구(`write_to_file`, `replace_file_content`)를 자유롭게 사용하여 단독 구현 수행.
-  - **`/multi-agent-mux-loop` 호출 시 (스킬 활성화 상태)**: 스킬 인터셉터 가드(Guardrail)가 작동하여 직접 수정 도구 호출을 거부(Interception)하고, **"슬래시 커맨드가 인보크되었으므로 직접 수정을 중단하고 `run_loop.sh`를 실행하여 위임하십시오"**라는 에러를 반환해 `run_loop.sh` 자율 위임 실행을 코딩적으로 강제.

+### **O-3: 조건부 오케스트레이션 위임 가드 (Invocation-Aware Scoped Guard)** — ✅ 완료
+- Normal Mode(직접 소스 수정)와 Loop Active Mode(`/multi-agent-mux-loop` 인보크 시 `run_loop.sh` 자율 위임)의 역할 경계를 명확히 구분하는 스킬 인터셉터 가드레일(`.agents/hooks.json` & `.agents/hooks/loop_delegation_guard.sh`)을 구축했습니다.
+- step-type 파생명 매처(`file_change|edit_notebook|write_blob`)를 적용하여 가드 무발화 결함을 방지했습니다.
+- `pid` + `lstart`(프로세스 시작시각) 신원 대조 검증을 통해 PID Rollover 및 `PermissionError` 시 발생할 수 있는 Livelock 영구 차단 오판을 완벽히 해결했습니다.
+- `run_loop.sh` 마커 기록 및 `delegate_job_safe` 트랩 복원(`_mam_release_guard`)을 완료했습니다.
+- `AGENTS.md`, `MULTI_AGENT_RULES.md` (.ko.md), `SKILL.md` 문서를 전수 대칭 갱신했습니다.
+- 전용 단위/회귀 테스트 스위트 `tests/test_o3_scoped_guard.py` (22/22 PASS)를 수립하여 입증했습니다.
 
 ### **A-1: 워크스페이스 세션 격리 & drift-B 오등록 방지** — ✅ 완료
 - `derive_workspace_slug` 헬퍼 함수를 추가하여 워크스페이스 경로 기반 단일 소켓 슬러그(`mam-<parent>-<work>`) 도출 체계를 구축했습니다.

+# 📝 Multi-Agent Mux 작업 세션 기록 (`LOG.md`)
+
+- **최종 기록일시**: 2026-08-08 00:23 (KST)
+- **작업 저장소**: `tmpl/multi-agent-mux` (Branch: `main`)
+- **작업 상태**: 모든 작업 완료, 세션 안전 종료(stopped), 저장소 상태 Clean!

+
+## 📌 1. 금일 작업 내용 요약
+
+### 1) **deploy/ 배포 스크립트 최신화 및 레지스트리 3-way 병합 구현** — **완료**
+- **배경**: `deploy/install.sh` 및 `install_mam.sh`가 `.agents/skills/` 밖 자산(`hooks.json`, `MULTI_AGENT_RULES.md`, `INSTALL.md`)을 갱신하지 못하거나 로컬 훅 수정을 덮어쓰는 맹점(Job `1567c88e` / Plan Rev.2) 해결.
+- **주요 구현**:
+  - `deploy/lib_ownership.sh` 신설: 자산 소유권 및 레지스트리 파일 관리 단일 창구화.
+  - `deploy/install.sh`: `hooks.json` 키 단위 3-way 병합(`MERGE_REGISTRY`) 및 `.mam/base/` 스냅숏 도입.
+  - `deploy/install_mam.sh` & `deploy/remove.sh`: `asset_hashes.txt` 및 `.mam/base/` 자동 생성과 fallback 자산 목록 동기화.
+  - `deploy/gitea-ci.yml` & `deploy/README.md`: CI pytest 자동화 게이트 및 문서 구조 갱신.
+  - 커밋 완료 (`399242d`, `cc11a02`).
+
+### 2) **테스트 슈트 경량화 및 다이어트** — **완료**
+- 중복되고 오래된 레거시 테스트 7개 파일(1,559줄) 완전히 삭제 (`cf51b2c`).
+- 핵심 계층별 테스트 슈트(Tier 1~4, Deploy, Guard)만 정비하여 향후 기능 변경 시 실행 속도 및 자원 소모 대폭 개선.
+
+### 3) **O-3: 조건부 오케스트레이션 위임 가드 (Invocation-Aware Scoped Guard)** — **완료**
+- **배경**: 오케스트레이터 에이전트가 `/multi-agent-mux-loop` 실행 시 직접 코드를 수정하지 않고 스크립트로 위임하도록 통제하며, 루프 내부에서 무한 재귀 기동되는 현상을 원천 방지함.
+- **주요 수정 파일**:
+  - `.agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-loop/scripts/run_loop.sh`: PID + 시작시각 기반 `.mam/loop-guard-active` 식별자 작성 및 `trap` 자동 삭제 적용.
+  - `AGENTS.md`: Section 5 (Orchestrator Scope Guard O-3) 명시.
+  - `.agents/MULTI_AGENT_RULES.md` & `.ko.md`: 오케스트레이터 세션 및 루프 활성화 모드 수칙 동기화.
+  - `tests/test_o3_scoped_guard.py`: 24개 검증 케이스 작성 (24/24 PASS).
+- **멀티에이전트 자율 피어 리뷰**: Planner(`claude`), Creator(`agy`), Reviewer(`cline`) 3자에 의해 루프 구동 후 **`[VERDICT: PASS]` (100% 합의)** 통과 및 커밋 완료 (`1f8622e`).
+
+### 2) **A-3 & C-2 과제 완수 및 안정화 버그 수정** — **완료**
+- **A-3**: `send_keys_safe` 시프트 버퍼 동시성 레이스 조건 해결 (호출 고유 토큰 생성 + 원자적 쓰기/이동 + 60분 자동 GC).
+- **C-2**: 미사용 `.cache/multi-agent-mux-monitor` 디렉터리 생성 로직 축소 및 `reconcile.sh` 상태 dead code 정리.
+- **환경 변수 전파 보완**: `.agents/skills/lib.sh` 내 `HOME_DIR`, `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR`, `LOCAL_BIN` 하위 프로세스 `export` 누락 해결 (`2fc0f58`).
+- **테스트 슈트 Mock 지원**: `tests/conftest.py` 내 `mock_herdr`에 `list-panes` 핸들러 추가 (`778b22b`).
+- **상태 복구 안전성**: `reconcile.sh` 내 세션 생성 시각 안전 키 접근(`t.get('created', 0)`) 반영 (`36d0178`).

-"""A-3 — shift buffer isolation & garbage collection.
-
-Defects addressed:
-  ① Colliding buffer names (e.g. constant "sks_adhoc" or "sks_onboard") caused
-     cross-agent prompt contamination and silent buffer deletion loss.
-  ② Call-unique buffer names (sks_<job>_<pid>_<rand>) fixed ① but introduced a
-     permanent leak of abandoned buffers (SIGINT/SIGTERM/timeout between
-     set-buffer and delete-buffer). Fixed with automatic GC (-mmin +60).
-  ③ F2's atomic write created DOT-prefixed temp files ('.buf_sks_....tmp') that
-     F4's initial GC pattern ('buf_sks_*') missed. Fixed by widening the GC
-     pattern to include '.buf_sks_*' and cleaning up on write/rename failure.
