## What wall-clock does, in the publisher's words

Wall-clock gives Pi and OMP sessions a host-enforced time ceiling. It injects measured time before model turns, blocks work at native pre-action boundaries, and can stop supported running actions when the selected policy requires it.

- Agent Plugins: The portable package format for Agent Skills and optional Model Context Protocol servers.
- Pi: The @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent host.
- OMP: The @oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent host.
- Native adapter: Host-specific code that observes model and tool events and enforces wall-clock decisions.
- Expiry policy: The selected rule at the deadline: block new work or also abort supported running work.
- Abort domain: One native host session whose abort function can stop its current action.
