+Implementation report from coder Pod `pod-tool-surface-coder-20260531`:
+
+- Branch: `pod-tool-surface-restore-list`
+- Commit: `5472cec` (`pod: simplify pod tool surface`)
+- Changed files: `crates/pod/src/controller.rs`, `crates/pod/src/discovery.rs`, `crates/pod/src/spawn/comm_tools.rs`, `crates/pod/src/spawn/registry.rs`, `crates/pod/src/spawn/tool.rs`, `crates/pod/tests/pod_comm_tools_test.rs`, `crates/protocol/src/lib.rs`, `crates/tui/src/app.rs`, `crates/tui/src/picker.rs`, `docs/architecture.md`.
+- Simplified LLM-facing Pod tools to `ListPods` / `RestorePod`.
+- Removed `ListVisiblePods`, `InspectPod`, and `AttachOrRestorePod` from active tool/protocol identifiers.
+- Moved old `ListVisiblePods` state-backed visibility semantics into `ListPods`.
+- Removed old spawned-registry-only `ListPods` comm tool and added `comm_registry` information to state-backed Pod listing output.
+- `RestorePod` now reports already-live Pods or restores visible stopped/restorable Pods without using attach terminology.
+- TUI protocol handling and architecture docs were updated.
+
+Validation reported by coder:
+
+- `cargo fmt --check` passed
+- `cargo check -p pod -p protocol` passed with existing `llm-worker` warning only
+- `cargo test -p protocol pod_discovery` passed
+- `cargo test -p pod state_backed_visibility_and_restore_planning` passed
+- `cargo test -p pod --test pod_comm_tools_test` passed
+- `./tickets.sh doctor` passed
+- `git diff --check` passed
+
+Unresolved issues: none.

+## Review: approve
+
+External review by reviewer Pod `pod-tool-surface-reviewer-20260531`: approve.
+
+Reviewer summary:
+
+- `ListPods` is now the state/visibility-aware listing tool.
+- `RestorePod` replaces old attach/restore naming.
+- Active Rust source no longer contains `ListVisiblePods`, `InspectPod`, or `AttachOrRestorePod` tool/protocol identifiers.
+- Visibility remains self + durable spawned children + live in-memory spawned registry, not host-wide enumeration.
+- `RestorePod` rejects non-visible/missing/non-restorable Pods, reports already-live visible Pods, and only restores when state is restorable and unlocked.
+- Existing `SpawnPod`, `SendToPod`, `ReadPodOutput`, and `StopPod` remain coherent; the old comm-registry-only `ListPods` tool was removed rather than retained as alias.
+- TUI/protocol/docs were updated consistently.
+
+Blockers: none.
+
+Non-blocking follow-ups:
+
+- `crates/pod/src/controller.rs` had a stale comment saying “four communication tools” after the comm tool count changed; not behavior-affecting.
+- Run `cargo check -p tui` before merge because TUI files changed.
+- A small assertion that removed tool names are absent from the registry would satisfy the ticket wording more literally, but reviewer did not consider it blocking.
