+## PR Type
+
+- [x] Bug fix
+
+Verified label: `type:bug` (exactly one `type:*` label). Upstream issue #2266 is approved. Draft/no-merge.
+
+## Summary
+
+Forward parent-resolved user policy at dispatch; delete stale disabled values.
+The child does not resolve policy in its worktree. This unit alone provides no full background support.

+
+## Test Plan
+
+Current-base child 01 runner: **119/119 passed**. Upstream Windows TMP/TEMP fixtures and isolated policy config are preserved. Aggregate child 03 parent/independent focused checks: **140/140**, typecheck **0 diagnostics**; that aggregate is not a claim all tools exist in child 01.
+Current-base full `pnpm test` exited **1 before any tests** with `ERR_PNPM_ABORTED_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR_NO_TTY` during an automatic dependency-install attempt. No retry/reinstall/CI override. Fresh current-base historical off-path differential remains unverified.
+Old-base aggregate only: 136/136 focused, typecheck 0, compatibility differentials matched.
+Old full suite: 7,385 total / 7,290 passed / 22 failed / 73 skipped; diagnosed baseline environments, not new-base evidence.
+Native review pending/unavailable: original retained-selection mismatch produced no lineage/approval; new candidate unreviewed.
+CI/packed install pending. Offline core-corpus bench not executed; exact commands and default-off acceptance are in tracker body.
+Preserve both bench run exits; no new scenarios, paid LLM probes or measurement claims.
+Functional post-yield acceptance is future Slice 3, not this child.

+
+## PR Type
+
+- [x] Bug fix
+
+Issue #2266 is `status:approved`. Intended label: `type:bug` (available upstream); a maintainer must apply it because this contributor has READ permission upstream.
+
+## Summary
+
+- Coordination-only tracker until reviewed children integrate; no source tools are in this initial head.
+- All four PRs remain draft/no-merge. Source chain, review, bench and Slice 3 coordination must resolve before tracker merge.
+- Publication is authorized through the contributor fork; no merge is authorized. Source PRs target immediate parent branches in that fork.

+Target: `Gentleman-Programming/gentle-shell`, base `main`, head `rubenpenap:feat/2266-slice2-tracker`.
+Ends with coordination now; eventual source integration requires separate gate resolution.
+Source transplant and bounded test-fixture reconciliation are complete; depends on all child reviews. Follow-up: children 1–3 then Slice 3 coordination.
+Out of scope: drain/hold/timers, post-settlement completion, automatic child-model delivery and #2552 fixes.
+No size exception is requested or approved; source counts exclude coordination docs and need current-base confirmation.

+Current upstream-base aggregate (child 03): parent and independent focused checks **140/140 passed**, typecheck **0 diagnostics**. Child 01 runner **119/119**; child 02 runner/messaging **127/127**. Parent topology and isolated **46/194/310**-line diffs verified.
+Current-base `pnpm test` exited **1 before executing tests**: `ERR_PNPM_ABORTED_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR_NO_TTY` during an automatic dependency-install attempt. No reinstall, retry, CI override or substitute full-suite run. A fresh current-base off-path historical differential remains unverified. CI/packed install: pending.
+Historical old-base only: focused 136/136, typecheck 0, differentials without observable regression.
+Old full suite: 7,385 total, 7,290 passed, 22 failed, 73 skipped; baseline environmental failures diagnosed, not a current-base pass.
+Native review unavailable on original retained-selection mismatch; no lineage/approval. New candidates unreviewed.
+Bench per decode2 comment6424231029: deterministic offline core corpus, no new scenarios, not executed:
+
+```text
+gentle-ai-bench run --binary <main-build> --out before.json
+gentle-ai-bench run --binary <candidate-build-with-your-slice-2> --out after.json
+gentle-ai-bench compare --before before.json --after after.json
+```
+
+Preserve both run exits. Default policy off: no journey status flip; friction within baseline noise.
+No paid LLM bench or measured cost/performance claim. Functional post-yield acceptance belongs to future Slice 3.

+# Slice 2 publication coordination — T7 / S10–S11
+
+Strategy: `feature-branch-chain`; all four PRs draft/no-merge.
+All four branches and draft PRs published after human OAuth reauthorization; no force-push or merge. Source refs and isolated remote diffs verified.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- Verified upstream main: `cb0c5a2e548e278bd65fc503552b10862c4efa11` (parent evidence).
+- Workspace branch: `feat/2266-slice2-tracker`; initially coordination docs only.
+- Rebased source heads: `1bd87f203` (46), `73cc0e8ff` (194), `223ed83e7` (310 changed lines), total 550.
+- Preflight conflicts were diagnosed without an index/merge state; test-only overlaps reconciled while preserving both upstream and slice behavior.
+- Source tests/docs and exact parent topology retained; individual child diffs verified.
+- Child branches layer on tracker → 01-dispatch → 02-job-ipc → 03-registration.
+- Tracker targets `Gentleman-Programming/gentle-shell:main` from `rubenpenap:feat/2266-slice2-tracker`.
+- Children target `rubenpenap/gentle-shell`, each against its immediate parent.
+- Bodies: `odd/pr/2266-slice2-chain/`; tracker https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-shell/pull/2575; children https://github.com/rubenpenap/gentle-shell/pull/1, https://github.com/rubenpenap/gentle-shell/pull/2, https://github.com/rubenpenap/gentle-shell/pull/3.

+- [ ] Native review with valid candidate lineage; current candidates unreviewed.

+- [ ] Packed-install verification and target-policy required CI.

+
+Historical only: 136/136 focused, typecheck 0; compatibility differentials matched.
+Old full suite: 7,385 total / 7,290 passed / 22 failed / 73 skipped; baseline environmental diagnosis recorded in original task, not current-base proof.
+Native retained-selection mismatch created no lineage/approval; do not infer a waiver.
+#2552 diagnostics remain separate; no paid LLM bench, new scenarios or measurement claims.
+
+Publication checks: all four PRs OPEN and draft; child labels exactly `type:bug`; upstream tracker label requires maintainer action. Tracker CI is running for coordination docs only; child PRs currently have no checks reported. No source CI pass inferred from tracker CI.
