+## Review: approve
+
+External reviewer: `remove-insomnia-pod-reviewer-20260531`
+Reviewed implementation commit: `0d7d3c7bf1e1becb85ca8322e4b72730a91e3513` (`cli: remove insomnia-pod binary output`)
+Verdict: approve
+
+Summary:
+- The implementation removes the old `insomnia-pod` installed/runtime alias and keeps Pod runtime process separation via `insomnia pod ...`.
+- `pod` is now library-only (`autobins = false`), `pod::entrypoint` remains available, and the old `crates/pod/src/main.rs` binary target is gone.
+- Nix/package/devshell/docs were updated so the primary installed command is `insomnia`, `apps.insomnia-pod` is no longer advertised, and install checks use `insomnia pod --help` plus a negative check for `bin/insomnia-pod`.
+- Internal spawn/restore paths use `PodRuntimeCommand::resolve()` and `prefix_args()` with default `current_exe() + ["pod"]`; `INSOMNIA_POD_COMMAND` remains executable-only.
+
+Requirements mapping:
+- Acceptance criteria are satisfied: installed output no longer exposes `bin/insomnia-pod`; `flake.nix` no longer advertises `apps.insomnia-pod`; `insomnia pod --help` remains the runtime entrypoint; relevant tests and docs were updated.
+- No hidden non-goal changes were found: no `tui` crate rename, no controller/runtime process merge, and no Pod protocol or runtime flag semantic change.
+
+Blockers: none.
+
+Non-blocking follow-ups:
+- A test name in `crates/pod/src/entrypoint.rs` still contains old-ish wording (`subcommand_help_uses_insomnia_pod_invocation`) even though the test contents use `insomnia pod`; renaming it later would improve readability.
+- `docs/plan/network-peering.md` still has generic wording around a "pod binary"; this is not a user-facing `insomnia-pod` command example and is not blocking.
+
+Validation adequacy:
+- Coder-reported validation covers fmt, parser/unit/integration tests, `cargo check`, Nix build/install smoke, `nix flake check`, ticket doctor, and diff whitespace check.
+- Reviewer performed read-only static review, clean status/diff inspection, residual `insomnia-pod` search, and `git diff --check`.
