Authority semantics are explicit but fragmented.
Workers increasingly expose permission, trust, environment, hook, MCP, extension, and transport semantics, but each does it differently.

Plugin, extension, and skill ecosystems are becoming the integration surface.
The practical power of worker CLIs is moving into plugins, hooks, extensions, skills, and transport modules.
