I'll add Modron and Thieves' Cant to the list, just in case!
Done.

If one lives/works in the Hive and makes threads inside buildings, does the sector roll have to be done?

In regards to magic for the Daily tasks, the tasks take at the most 4 hrs to complete. If you have the means to extend your spells to last that long, or abilities to help your rolls that make thematic sense to last that long, you may use magic or those abilities.

If not, the magic won't help you in the final roll.
So casting a ward that lasts 24 hours would work?

Yes, but if the thing you get doesn't make sense, it won't happen.

Are Renown threads meant to be solo, or can two or more parties make rolls in the same thread?

You can have another Faction member come with you on the task and have them assist the roll, ala aid. Each of you choose individually what you are doing. If you both get the same thing, either by choice or by dice, you can both do it together. You can also choose to roll separately or do one single roll.

Another PC or Factionmate can join your thread outside of their own daily task as well, but they cannot aid you in the roll.

If something else pops up in the thread, though...

Two quick questions!

a) For those of us with lots of mechanical bits (aka Tireless racial feature) - I'm guessing we still need 8 hours (aka 4 timeslots) for a Long Rest, but 2 of those can involve light activity (while the other 2 are those we spend in an 'inactive state')? So basically the same as Elves? And while on that - the hours of 'light activity' can happen in threads, I'm guessing? (with the risk that the thread may become too strenuous, of course)

b) And on Bleaker Depression rolls - should we roll for the end of D0 as well? Or only starting on D1? And... I should probably roll for the end of D1 asap as well so I don't forget to later! XD

Thanks!

1) Prefer you keep it like a normal sleeping thing with the time reduced by half. That just means you do things like reading a book, updating your journal, maintaining your equipment...

2) No D0 was fine; start it for d1

Just to be sure, this means those of us with such abilities should still spend 4 time slots "sleeping or doing other things" (i.e. no threads in them), right? Or am I getting this wrong?

Yeah, no threads. You can do something downtime-y, but otherwise you're effectively powered down.
