+## `hunter` is a member role, not just a skill
+
+The repo already shipped a `hunter` playbook skill: sweep a package, report several ranked
+findings, change nothing. There was no matching **role**. A hunt was run by spawning a `dev` and
+telling it not to behave like one.
+
+**What it does.** `MemberRole.HUNTER` joins `ARCHITECT`, `DEV` and `REVIEWER`. It has the wire
+token `hunter`, the config pool `fleet.hunters`, and the agent file `.claude/agents/hunter.md`.
+`fleet_spawn{role: "hunter"}` now picks a contract instead of borrowing one.
+
+**The knob.** `fleet.hunters` in `fleetd.yaml`, listing the profiles a hunter may run on — the
+same shape as `fleet.developers` and `fleet.reviewers`:
+
+```yaml
+fleet:
+  hunters:
+    sonnet: {profile: sonnet}
+    terra:  {profile: terra}
+```
+
+Optional. Leave it out and the role exists but no hunter can be placed.
+
+**Why it exists.** A role carries prohibitions the brief should not have to repeat. `dev` is
+allowed to edit, commit, push and open a pull request; a hunt must do none of those. Spawning a
+`dev` for a hunt meant the only thing standing between the sweep and a surprise commit was a
+sentence in the brief. Miss that sentence once and the member is inside its contract while doing
+the wrong job. `hunter.md` forbids editing, committing, pushing and opening a PR, and — unlike
+`reviewer.md` — explicitly **permits** running the build, because a hunter checks its findings.
+
+**The gotcha — the role ships inert.** Merging the code does not create the pool. On a host whose
+`fleetd.yaml` has no `fleet.hunters`, unknown nested keys are ignored rather than rejected, so
+there is no warning at load and no error at merge: `fleet_spawn{role: "hunter"}` simply finds no
+candidate profile. The sequence is merge, redeploy, add the pool, then **spawn one hunter and read
+the spawn log**. Parsing the config proves nothing about placement.
+
+**The second gotcha — `hunter` and `reviewer` are still not interchangeable.** `reviewer` caps its
+answer at one finding; `hunter` reports several. Naming the wrong skill for the role hands the
+member two contradictory output contracts, and the measured result is a member that writes a good
+report to its terminal and ends the turn with no `fleet_reply`. The role does not fix that; the
+brief still has to name the right skill.
