+### changes
+

+- improve startup message formatting and markdown rendering
+- add a debug onboarding helper for setup troubleshooting
+
+### breaking
+
+- runner implementations must define explicit resume parsing/formatting (no implicit standard resume pattern)
+
+### fixes
+
+- stop leaking a hidden `engine-id` CLI option on engine subcommands
+
+### docs
+
+- add a runner guide plus Claude Code docs (runner, events, stream-json cheatsheet)
+- clarify the Claude runner file layout and add guidance for JSONL-based runners
+- document “minimal” runner mode: Started+Completed only, completed-only actions allowed

-Skeleton outline:
+Recommended: `JsonlSubprocessRunner`
+
+For JSONL CLIs, this base class centralizes subprocess + JSONL plumbing,
+lock timing, and completion semantics. Your runner usually only needs:
+
+- `command()` (binary name)
+- `build_args(...)`
+- `translate(...)` (map one JSON object to a list of Takopi events)
+
+Optional hooks for common variants:
+
+- `stdin_payload(...)`: return `None` if the prompt is passed via argv
+- `env(...)`: add or redact environment variables
+- `invalid_json_events(...)`: customize the warning event
+- `process_error_events(...)`: customize `rc != 0` handling
+- `stream_end_events(...)`: customize stream-end fallback (no `CompletedEvent`)
+- `handle_started_event(...)`: customize session-id validation
+
+If you call `note_event(...)`, your state object must include `note_seq` or
+override `next_note_id(...)`.

+Skeleton outline (JSONL CLI):

 Key implementation notes:
 
-- Use `SessionLockMixin` to enforce per-session serialization.
+- Use `BaseRunner` (or `JsonlSubprocessRunner`) for per-session serialization.
-- Use `ResumeTokenMixin` for `format_resume` / `extract_resume` / `is_resume_line`.
+- Mix in `ResumeTokenMixin` (with a `resume_re`) or override
-- Use `iter_jsonl(...)` + `drain_stderr(...)` from `takopi.utils.streams`.
+  `format_resume` / `extract_resume` / `is_resume_line` so the runner owns
+  resume encoding/decoding.
+- For JSONL CLIs, prefer `JsonlSubprocessRunner` and implement `command`,
+  `build_args`, and `translate` (override `stdin_payload` if the prompt should
+  be passed via argv instead of stdin).
+- If you don’t use `JsonlSubprocessRunner`, use `iter_jsonl(...)` +
+  `drain_stderr(...)` from `takopi.utils.streams`.
+- **Minimal mode is supported:** start with exactly one `StartedEvent` and one
+  `CompletedEvent`. `ActionEvent`s are optional and can be added later. If you
+  do emit actions, you can emit only `phase="completed"` notes without tracking
+  pending state.
 - **Do not truncate** tool outputs in the runner; pass full strings into events.
   Truncation belongs in renderers.
