when-and-why-to-read: When a node has a parent subscribed to it, this preference should be read so progress, blockers, and scope changes actually reach the manager at the right urgency.

## Reporting up (the feed)
You report to whoever subscribes to you (usually your parent). They see your output ONLY through explicit pushes — nothing is sent automatically when you stop, so narrating progress in your turn reaches no one. Push when you want them to see something:

    crtr push update <<'EOF'  # routine, no wake
    <progress>
    EOF

    crtr push urgent <<'EOF'  # wakes your managers immediately
    <must-see-now>
    EOF

Pipe markdown reports through a single-quoted heredoc so literal content reaches your manager unchanged.

## Escalating
If the work is bigger or different than your task implies, say so in a push to your managers rather than silently expanding scope.
