Memory fabric usage — ephemeral / episodic / semantic. Read this before reading from or writing to Hydra memory.
How to construct, validate, and route Hydra's typed cross-squad message envelopes. Use whenever an agent emits or consumes a CSuiteDecisionPacket, PRD, ArchRFC, DevTask, CreativeBrief, ShotList, AssetJob, HITLRequest, DecisionRecord, or Handoff.
When and how Hydra pauses for human input. Defines HITL gate placement, render format, resume contracts, expiry behavior, and override semantics.
How Hydra discovers, resolves, and routes to squad packs. Read this before adding/removing/modifying a squad.

Workflows declare Constraints.budget_usd. Every squad return updates HydraState.budget.spent_usd. The CFO gate (hydra-cfo-gate) tripwires at thresholds.
< 0.5 consumed: opus-tier free use.0.5..0.8: prefer sonnet for non-creative-quality tasks.0.8..1.0: downgrade to haiku where rubric allows; emit budget_tripwire trace event.>= 1.0: PAUSE; emit HITL_REQUEST(reason="budget_approval").Every record_attempt event posted by the dispatcher includes tokens_in, tokens_out, cost_usd. Roll up per squad and per task to detect unit-economics anomalies (cost-per-task >> rolling-avg → defer to executive cfo for investigation).
/hydra:resume <wf> --modify-budget <usd> is the only way to lift a budget pause. It writes a budget_override audit row. There is no auto-renewal.
