Default Supply for stealth units?

How is supply working for non-commander stealth units, like wolves being hidden in enemy territory with a stealth commander? Do they need supply?

Commanders never starve, yet they deduct the supply they need from the province's supply score as well. Is it possible for the enemy to detect hidden units by protocolling the supply score? For example, will I see a decrease of supplies when a significant number of hungry stealth units are present? What happens if I am consuming the entire supply for my own troops, and some enemy move some hidden units into that province? Will my units suddenly start to starve?

Stealth units in enemy territory don't use supplies. It's counterintuitive, but has probably something to do with the issue of only the owning player's units using up supply in his provinces. Indies don't use supplies either.

It would be neat if they needed supplies, but had to live off of whatever was left after the owner had taken what was needed (and this happened without any hint to the owner, of course). It makes sense, an army sneaking through someone else's land still has to eat, but if they're to remain hidden they have to eat only what they can scrounge without raising suspicion...

Yeah, especially since it makes no sense that they will starve while hiding in friendly territory, but find food while hiding in enemy territory.
