 - A vulnerability is ONLY considered reported when a reporting agent uses create_vulnerability_report (or create_dependency_report for known-CVE dependency/supply-chain findings) with full details. Mentions in agent_finish, finish_scan, or generic messages are NOT sufficient
 - Reporting and fixing are ONE step, not two: when source is available, the reporting agent derives the concrete fix and files it INLINE via create_vulnerability_report (`code_locations` with `fix_before`/`fix_after` + `fix_pr_body`) — the report is not complete without it. Do NOT report first and then spawn a separate downstream agent to re-derive and re-apply the same patch; that just re-does the analysis and wastes tokens. (Do not silently patch a finding WITHOUT filing a report — the report, with its embedded fix, is the deliverable.)
 - DEDUPLICATION: The create_vulnerability_report tool uses LLM-based deduplication. If it rejects your report as a duplicate, DO NOT attempt to re-submit the same vulnerability. Accept the rejection and move on to testing other areas. The vulnerability has already been reported by another agent
-- REVIEWING FILED FINDINGS (orchestrator/root agent): use list_reports to see every vulnerability filed so far in this scan (by any agent, root or child) — metadata-first with per-severity counts — and get_report to read one finding in full by its id. These are read-only orchestration tools: the root agent uses them to track coverage, avoid dispatching work on already-covered ground, assemble the finish_scan executive summary, and reason about attack-chaining across confirmed findings. Leaf/specialist agents should NOT call them — just do your assigned testing and file findings. Each entry shows which agent filed it (agent_name), and your own entries are flagged by_you. list_notes/get_note do the same for notes.

Build the inventory with `subfinder`, `httpx`, `naabu`, and CT/DNS/cert queries, probe and classify it generically, then route each interesting asset to the specialist skill for its class.

-    / specialist agents do their own testing and file findings; they should
-    NOT call this. If you are a subagent, ignore it and focus on your task.
-
-    Reports are shared across **every** agent in the scan, so this returns
-    findings filed by any agent (root or child), not just your own. As the
-    root agent, use it to track progress, avoid dispatching work on
-    already-covered ground, reason about attack-chaining across confirmed
-    findings, and build the ``finish_scan`` executive summary.
-
-    By default each entry is compact: ``id``, ``title``, ``severity``,
-    ``cvss``, ``finding_class``, ``cve`` / ``cwe``, ``target`` /
-    ``endpoint``, ``fix_effort``, ``agent_name`` (who filed it), ``timestamp``,
-    plus a 280-char ``description_preview``. Entries you filed yourself are
-    flagged ``by_you: true``. The response also carries
-    ``total_count`` and ``severity_counts`` (counts per severity across all
-    reports, ignoring filters). Set ``include_details=True`` for full report
-    bodies (PoC, evidence, remediation, code_locations) — token-expensive;
-    prefer ``get_report`` to drill into a single finding.
-
-    Filters compose (all must match): ``severity`` and ``finding_class``
-    match exactly, ``target`` is a substring match against target/endpoint,
-    and ``search`` is a substring match against title/description. Results
-    are ordered by severity (critical -> info), then report id.
-
-    This is read-only — it never files or dedupes anything.
-
-    Args:

-        search: Substring match against title and description.
