@dsapandora, one blocking change: restart_task never updates control.pipeline, so this check breaks after a restart, the doc's recommended flow (restart(P2), then use(P2, useExisting)) warns "differs" for the pipeline that's actually running, and resubmitting the old one stays silent.
Fix: add control.pipeline = pipeline in restart_task, plus a restart-then-reuse test.

Right, and it made the comparison worse than useless — fixed in 731542a.
Added the assignment and a test for the full flow: |

use() with useExisting accepts a pipeline, ignores it when a task with that token is already running, and returns the live instance with a response identical to a fresh launch. The caller has no way to tell that the configuration it just sent was not applied. An A/B comparison across two pipeline versions returns the same numbers for both and reads as 'the change had no effect'. A configuration error that was already fixed keeps reappearing, because the value lives on in an instance the file no longer describes. The instance also carries whatever state earlier runs left behind, so a benchmark's later runs benefit from its earlier ones. Add 'reused' to the response, and say in the log when the submitted pipeline differs from the running one. Reuse stays the default - it is what keeps a warm instance cheap; what was missing is that it was invisible.
restart_task swapped the running configuration but left control.pipeline holding whatever was launched first, which the docstring already said it should update. The comparison added in this PR then read a record of something that is no longer running: restart(P2) followed by use(P2, useExisting) - the documented way to apply new configuration to a live token - warned that the submitted pipeline differed, while resubmitting the replaced one passed silently. Exactly backwards.
A launch stamps the resolved source onto the pipeline and gives the source component an empty config when it has none. restart_task stored the raw request, so the same pipeline submitted again arrived normalised and compared unequal to what was stored - the comparison reporting a difference that the launch itself had introduced. Both paths now go through one helper, so they cannot drift apart again.
_apply_source_defaults raises when the source component is missing, so calling it after restart_task made it a validation that runs too late: the task is already stopped, Task.restart_task already holds the new pipeline, and control.pipeline still names the old one - three views of the world and none of them running. Normalising first also removes the second call: the same object goes to restart_task and to the control, so they cannot describe different things.
The source is part of the task's identity and a restart cannot change it, as restart_task's own docstring says. But _apply_source_defaults stamps the control's source onto the pipeline, so a request naming a different one was overwritten without a word: the caller would believe it had switched source and be told nothing. Compared before the helper runs, so the request is refused rather than quietly rewritten.

Brings the docs revamp up to develop @ 9ded777 (45 commits) and resolves the 20 conflicting paths. Every claim taken from develop was checked against the code before being folded into the consolidated tree. Conflict resolutions: - .gitignore: keep this branch's removal of the three client package READMEs (they are committed generated copies that docs:check verifies); take develop's new packages/chat-widget/README.md entry. - llm_anthropic: take develop's extended-thinking table. Verified against llm_native_stream.py:60-142 — Claude 4.7+ rejects the legacy {enabled, budget_tokens} shape with a 400, so the legacy list is an allowlist and unknown models default to adaptive. This branch's table was stale and would have documented a shape that errors. - clients/index.md: take develop's package names. Verified against pyproject.toml and package.json — all three artifacts are `rocketride` 1.3.0; the `rocketlib-*` names here were stale, including in the install examples below the table. - 8 store_* nodes: fold in the honored tool filter/metadata keys from #1753, verified at document_store.py:775-796 (filter honors objectId/nodeId/parent, additionalProperties false) and :934-943 (metadata defaults). - text_output, llm_openai, store_chroma, tool_slack: fold develop's new facts into this branch's schema structure rather than reverting the migration. - 6 modify/delete paths: keep the delete. Five were already covered in the new tree (connect/cli.mdx, db_hotdata's README). The sixth was not — the `reused` flag from #2165 appeared nowhere under docs/public/, so it is ported into the TypeScript and Python pipelines.md and reference.md. Stale tables develop invalidated, refreshed from services.json: - llm_openai: 36 missing profiles added, 6 token mismatches corrected (#1784). - llm_anthropic: claude-fable-5-1 added; claude-opus-5-fast moved to the collapsed table. - store_weaviate: default profile flipped cloud -> local (#1952). Node README migration for the 7 nodes develop added while this branch was open — chunker, db_firestore, search_hybrid, tool_crustdata, tool_gcs, tool_notion, tool_vertex_search — all now conform to the README schema. docs/README-chat-widget.md moves to docs/public/chat-widget/README.md so the three-subtree contract holds; docs:gather ignores README.md, so it stages nothing, and the clients page links it by URL. The widget has no site route yet and is not in the clients table. Verified: docs:build (232 pages, 150 nodes, no broken links), docs:check, docs:test (57/57), validate-client-docs.py, and validate-node-readme.py across all 19 touched nodes (0 failed, 0 warnings).

Reuse itself is the right default — it is what keeps a warm instance cheap, and the PR does not change it. What was missing is that it was invisible.
The cost is not a confusing edit-test loop, it is that the failure produces plausible results rather than errors. From the session that turned this up: an A/B comparison of two pipeline versions returned identical numbers on all four test documents, which reads as "the change had no effect" and is in fact "the second version never ran". A configuration error that had already been fixed kept reappearing, because the value was still alive in an instance the file on disk no longer described. And since reuse carries the instance's accumulated state, run 3 of a benchmark benefits from what runs 1 and 2 taught it — inflating quality numbers in the direction that flatters whatever is being tested.
The notice goes through
