+### Dependencies
+
+Panto installs the rock's dependencies with it:
+
+- **lyaml** parses profile frontmatter. It binds the system libyaml, which
+ LuaRocks does not vendor — install it first (`brew install libyaml`, or
+ `apt install libyaml-dev`), otherwise the rock fails to build and panto
+ quietly starts without the `subagents.*` tools.
+- **toml2lua** reads TOML workflows. Pure Lua, nothing to install.
+- **luv** backs profile and workflow discovery. Panto already ships it.
+
+Structured workflow output is validated against its JSON Schema by a built-in
+validator covering the schema subset those results use. Installing the
+`jsonschema` rock switches validation over to it; that rock needs a system PCRE,
+so it is not a declared dependency.

`subagents.lua` runs model-authored one-off workflows in a restricted Lua

+## Development
+
+[mise](https://mise.jdx.dev) provides Lua 5.4 and LuaRocks:
+
+```sh
+mise run deps # install the rocks into ./.rocks (gitignored)
+mise run check # run the specs against that tree
+```
+
+`mise run deps` passes Homebrew's libyaml prefix to lyaml when brew is
+available. Without mise, install the same rocks with any LuaRocks targeting Lua
+5.4 and run `lua spec/run.lua` from the repo root. `panto lua spec/run.lua` runs
+the suite inside panto's own interpreter and rocks tree, skipping whatever cases
+that tree has no rock for.
+
+The specs are plain Lua asserts — no framework. `spec/run.lua` loads every
+`spec/test_*.lua`, each of which returns an ordered array of `{ name, function }`
+cases. A case asserts and returns nothing to pass, or returns `"skip", reason`
+when an optional rock is missing; skips do not fail the run. `spec/fake_ext.lua`
+is a scriptable stand-in for the `panto.ext` host seam: it queues the result each
+spawned child settles with, records every spawn spec, tool, and command the
+extension produced, and settles awaits synchronously.
