 `MIGRATIONS_DIR` enables the collision preflight against a numbered-migrations directory. `GENERATED_MERGE_PATHS` gives the listed files a keep-ours merge driver (never hand-merged) and folds the profile's `regen` hook output into the sync commit — the single most common cross-lane conflict, for a repo that generates an API contract/client.
 
+### Installing the QC/gate agents: agents install
+
+Stage 6 (browser QC) and Stage 7 (senior GO/NO-GO gate) run as subagents — `qc-local` and `senior-gate-reviewer` — that must exist in the lane's own `.claude/agents/` before the skill can launch them:
+
+```bash
+ccam lanes agents install
+```
+
+Writes both agent templates into `<lane>/.claude/agents/` and adds that directory to the lane's local `.git/info/exclude` (never the tracked `.gitignore` — this is a per-clone runtime concern, not an app-repo change). Idempotent and never automatic, the same shape as `ccam lanes proof-link` — a session installs the agents explicitly, once, before a lane's first run through Stage 6/7 (or after a CCAM upgrade ships updated templates — reinstalling overwrites, it doesn't merge).
+
+**Credentials are not embedded.** Unlike Shipyard's original per-lane agent generation, these templates carry no QA account credentials — this repo has no seeded-QA-account system yet. `qc-local` degrades gracefully: if it hits a login page with no credentials block present, it reports `LOCAL-QC: FAIL — login required, no seed-account mechanism configured for this profile` rather than guessing.
+
+**`ticketer`, `dev-qc`, and `pr-reviewer`** are not ported yet — the first two are invoked only by Stages 9/13, which are hardcoded-skipped pending F's integrations; the third isn't referenced anywhere in this skill's text.

 ### Pipeline template: ship-feature (16 node stages)
 
 The skill uses the `ship-feature` pipeline template, which defines the following 16 stages (node IDs):
