 Resolve `scripts/install.sh` relative to this SKILL.md, not the working repository. It is a frozen bootstrapper: it prints `gstack-capy-skill: wrapper <n> (<path>)` first, learns the supported minimum from gstack's remote, and hands over to the checkout's own wrapper (`bin/gstack-capy-session`).
 
-1. At session start run `bash scripts/install.sh --check`, adding `--for <skill>` when you know the workflow (`--for autoplan`, `--for review`, `--for qa`). It prints one `PASS|FAIL|SKIP <component>` row per component, a `GSTACK_LAUNCH:` line, and exactly one trailer as the last line: `gstack: ok <revision> for=<skill>` (exit 0) or `gstack: fail <ids> …` (exit 1). Read the exit status and grep `^gstack: ` directly; never pipe the check through `tail`, `head` or `grep` alone. `--check` never moves the checkout.
+1. At session start run `bash scripts/install.sh --check`, adding `--for <skill>` when you know the workflow (`--for autoplan`, `--for review`, `--for qa`). It prints one `PASS|FAIL|SKIP|WARN <component>` row per component (`WARN` is an owner action, never a failure), a `GSTACK_LAUNCH:` line, and exactly one trailer as the last line: `gstack: ok <revision> for=<skill>[ (requested: …; pins: skipped (planning-only|no project); latest: <ver> available)]` (exit 0) or `gstack: fail <ids> …` (exit 1). Read the exit status and grep `^gstack: ` directly; never pipe the check through `tail`, `head` or `grep` alone. `--check` never moves the checkout.
 2. If the trailer names `revision`, `runtime` or `pins` (`gstack: fail revision …`, `gstack: fail runtime,pins`, `gstack: fail pins`) and a checkout exists, or the output carries a `gstack-capy-session: behind origin/<branch>: …` line, run the same command without `--check` (900-second timeout). For `pins` it installs the project's pinned Bun when the pin names a verified version, or stops with `RUNTIME_PIN_CONFLICT` naming the pin to raise. Any clean, unpinned checkout behind origin is fast-forwarded in install mode (below the `GSTACK_MIN_REVISION` floor by the bootstrapper, `gstack-capy-skill: upgraded <old> -> <new>`; above it by the checkout, `SELF_UPGRADE: done <old> -> <new>`), reinstalled and rechecked in one locked step. A pinned (`--revision`, detached), dirty or diverged checkout, or one another live session holds a lease on (`UPGRADE_BUSY`), is never moved: below the floor the trailer names the cause and the exact commands; above it the run prints `SELF_UPGRADE: skipped (<reason>)` and continues on the installed revision. `GSTACK_CAPY_AUTO_UPGRADE=0` disables every fast-forward, `GSTACK_CAPY_SELF_UPGRADE=off` only the above-floor one.
-3. If the trailer is `gstack: fail not-installed …` and this session runs no gstack workflow, record that line and continue; nothing is installed. Install right before the first workflow with `bash scripts/install.sh --for <skill>` (about 30 s cold: clone, the SHA-256-verified Bun 1.4.2, both host profiles without Chromium).
+3. If the trailer is `gstack: fail not-installed …` and this session runs no gstack workflow, record that line and continue; nothing is installed. Install right before the first workflow with `bash scripts/install.sh --for <skill>` (about 30 s cold: clone, a SHA-256-verified Bun in gstack's runtime store when no installed Bun satisfies the project's pins, both host profiles without Chromium). It also writes a marked `~/.local/bin/bun` shim, so a fresh shell in a project runs the Bun recorded for it.
 4. Any other `FAIL` row carries a `fix:` command and a reason code with a troubleshooting anchor; run the fix, then `--check` again. `SKIP codex-cli (optional; …)`, `SKIP browser (lazy; …)` and `SKIP pins (planning-only; …)` are not failures.
 
 **The trailer rule.** No `^gstack: ok` line from this machine in this session means gstack is not installed here: do not run a workflow, and do not claim the skills work. One machine's install never covers another.
