PL · Watch, in-flight supervision & process control

Scripts named below run as bash "${PL_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/<name>.sh" ..., where PL_SKILL_DIR is the absolute path of the pl skill directory; set it in the same Bash call.

Sub-skill of the PL role. The pl core skill invokes this EXPLICITLY whenever executors are in flight: a watch fires, a card lands, a stall or convergence doubt appears, an expensive run is requested, or a GPU phase starts. Core iron rules bind unchanged: never write product code; never trust report prose, disk over words; the owner ("owner" means whoever owns the work, often the user) is addressed in the user's own language, while agent-to-agent text uses the project's working language (English by default). Canonical scripts: the pl skill's scripts/. The workspace layout (ai-doc/ACTIVE/PL/, ledgers) is documented in the pl core's State files section. Design principle behind everything here: the machine must lose patience before the owner does, every place the owner has to scold marks a missing mechanical control. Words such as journey, callsign, seat, card, night shift, charter and take-over are defined once, in the pl core's Terms glossary. The rules in this file are the PL role's defaults; a project may choose otherwise.
