+# Split Groups PR 6: Enable Split Groups
+
+This branch turns split groups on after the earlier model, lifecycle, restore,
+and renderer-ownership branches are in place.
+
+Scope:
+- remove the temporary rollout gate from `Terminal.tsx`
+- make the split-group ownership path the active renderer path
+- keep only the small bootstrap fallback for cases where no layout exists yet
+
+What Is Actually Hooked Up In This PR:
+- split groups are live
+- `Terminal.tsx` always resolves through the split-group path when layout/group state exists
+- the temporary gate introduced in the dark-launch PR is removed instead of left behind as dead config
