+-- Discover agent profiles: Markdown files with YAML frontmatter.
+--
+-- Two layers are read, lowest precedence first:
+--
+--   1. ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/panto/agents/**/*.md   (user)
+--   2. <cwd>/.panto/agents/**/*.md                              (project)
+--
+-- A project profile shadows a user profile with the same resolved name. Both
+-- layers are walked recursively; nesting is organisational only and never part
+-- of a profile's name.
+--
+-- Recognised frontmatter keys, all optional:
+--
+--   name        the profile's identity; defaults to the filename stem
+--   description one line shown to the primary in the subagents.run schema
+--   model       full `provider:model` only
+--   reasoning   passed through as written; the runtime validates it
+--
+-- Unknown keys are ignored so a profile written for another harness still
+-- loads. A `model` that is not Panto's `provider:model` syntax is dropped with
+-- a warning and the child inherits the primary model — a foreign model
+-- spelling must not cost the user a working prompt. Nothing else here is
+-- fatal either: an unreadable file, broken YAML, or a duplicate name inside
+-- one layer produces a warning and discovery continues. Warnings are returned
+-- rather than logged because an extension has no logging channel; the caller
+-- decides where they surface.
+--
+-- Files are read eagerly. Profiles are small and the whole set is needed to
+-- build the tool description at activation anyway, so lazy bodies would buy
+-- nothing.
