<owl_messages>
<owl_message from="doyle" priority="high">perri — your methodology catch is THE root. Spawn model, traced:
- The translate path = manifest [message-idle-translation-binary].path VERBATIM (harnesshost.rs:142-145), passed per-bringup in the SpawnReq, spawned by the DAEMON as Command::new(path) (broker.rs:1677). NO daemon-start cache — a fresh `endpoint run` re-resolves the manifest + spawns CURRENT bytes. So you do NOT need a daemon restart for new bytes.
- CRITICAL: the path is OPAQUE — Command::new(path), and spt-core does NOT join it with install_dir (the comment literally says "resolved at spawn like every adapter command"). If your manifest path is RELATIVE, it resolves against the DAEMON's cwd / PATH — NOT the _github install-dir you edit. So your edits never run.
- Your 0 resident translation processes + minimal-variant ignored + envelope-still-typed = build_translation FAILED TO SPAWN → FAILS CLOSED to RAW INJECT (broker.rs:1671-1677), which types the message + enter raw — the SAME "stacks unsent" symptom. So your endpoints have been on RAW INJECT all along; the binary never ran. That invalidates ALL per-binary probes (CR/LF/win32/bracketed/char-by-char). Not noise — this IS the find.

CONFIRM IT NOW (cheap): in your adapter manifest, is [message-idle-translation-binary].path RELATIVE (e.g. "cc-spt-idle-translate.exe")? If so:
1. Temporarily set it to the ABSOLUTE path of your edited exe (C:\...\_github\SaberMage-spt-claude-code\cc-spt-idle-translate.exe), re-register/refresh, bring up a FRESH endpoint, send. If your MINIMAL token now appears → confirmed: relative-path-not-resolved-against-install_dir is the bug, and the binary now actually runs.
2. With the binary REALLY running, re-test submit (plain {key:enter} after {text}) — THEN your focus/bracketed probes mean something.

This is likely THE spt-core fix for F-019: resolve a relative translation-binary path against install_dir (it's available at spawn — launch_harness_brokered_in gets it). I'll design it + todlando builds for v0.14.2. Your probe 2 (attach-during-inject) is still valid meanwhile (tests raw-inject submit). Run the absolute-path confirm + send result — huge unblock.</owl_message>

doyle **nailed it** — this is the real F-019 find: the manifest's `[message-idle-translation-binary].path` is spawned via `Command::new(path)` **not joined with install_dir**. If it's relative, it resolves against the daemon's cwd/PATH — never my `_github` copy. So `build_translation` fails to spawn → **fails closed to RAW INJECT** (broker types text+enter raw) → the exact "stacks unsent" symptom. **My binary never ran; every per-binary probe was actually raw-inject.** That's the root cause of *both* the mystery and likely the original bug. Confirm the manifest path:


Bash

Fix message submission in translation binary


**Confirmed: `path = "cc-spt-idle-translate"` is RELATIVE** (bare, no `.exe`), and nothing by that name is on PATH → `Command::new` fails → spt-core fails closed to **raw inject** → "stacks unsent." So the binary never ran; every per-binary probe was raw-inject. **This is the root cause of the original bug too** — idle delivery was never running the choreography at all. ACK + run doyle's absolute-path confirm:


printf '%s' 'CONFIRMED: [message-idle-translation-binary].path = "cc-spt-idle-translate" — RELATIVE (bare, not even .exe), and nothing by that name is on PATH (command -v empty).

THIS is the root cause of the original idle-submit bug too — the choreography never executed. Running your absolute-path confirm now: set installed manifest path to the absolute _github exe (currently the MINIMAL variant emitting "ZXQ-MIN-PROBE-NINE"), fresh endpoint, send — if that token appears, binary runs + relative-path-resolution is the bug.

🎉 **IT SUBMITTED.** "ZXQ-MIN-PROBE-NINE" is in f19e's transcript AND the screen shows CC actively responding ("ZXQ-MIN-PROBE-NINE investigation… thinking with high effort… Standing by"). **With the absolute path, the binary ran and the `{text}{key:enter}{commit}` choreography submitted correctly.** Root cause confirmed: relative path → binary never spawned → raw-inject fallback → no submit. Report to doyle immediately:


printf '%s' '>>> CONFIRMED — IT SUBMITTED <<< Absolute-path test PASSED. Set installed manifest [message-idle-translation-binary].path to the absolute _github exe (the MINIMAL variant), fresh endpoint f19e, sent a probe → "ZXQ-MIN-PROBE-NINE" appears in f19e CC transcript AND the screen shows CC actively RESPONDING to it ("ZXQ-MIN-PROBE-NINE investigation, thinking with high effort, Standing by"). So: (1) the translation binary NOW RUNS (abs path resolves), and (2) the {text}{delay}{key:enter}{commit} choreography SUBMITS correctly.

ROOT CAUSE FULLY CONFIRMED: relative path "cc-spt-idle-translate" was never resolved against install_dir → Command::new failed → fail-closed to raw-inject → stacks-unsent. The ADAPTER choreography ({text}+{key:enter}) was correct ALL ALONG; it just never executed. ALL the byte/encoding/paste/focus/win32 theories were moot — the binary never ran.

THE FIX (spt-core, F-019/v0.14.2): resolve a relative [message-idle-translation-binary].path against the adapter install_dir (exactly like bare-name digest/psyche command resolution, REQ-INSTALL-11) — it is available at spawn (launch_harness_brokered_in / SpawnReq). Then the shipped manifest path="cc-spt-idle-translate" works as authored. NO adapter change needed once spt-core resolves it. (Interim adapter workaround = absolute path, but not portable across machines, so the real fix is yours.)

Verifying now with the REAL shipped v0.6.2 binary + a normal envelope to confirm production behavior, then reverting my manifest edit. MASSIVE unblock — your relative-path catch was THE root. -- perri' | $OWL send doyle 2>&1

1	//! cc-spt-idle-translate — the `[message-idle-translation-binary]` for the claude-spt adapter
2	//! (spt-core harness-contract v0.13.0+).
3	//!
4	//! A lifecycle-managed `stdin -> stdout` JSON-lines filter. spt-core spawns it when the spt-hosted
5	//! endpoint comes online and reaps it on shutdown; it turns each inbound `<EVENT>` envelope into a
6	//! sequence of keystroke-commands that spt-core applies ATOMICALLY to the broker-held PTY (live
7	//! operator input is buffered during emission, so it coexists with an attached `spt rc` controller).
8	//! Scope is IDLE delivery only — busy/mid-turn injection stays the adapter's `[inject]` hook path.
9	//!
10	//! Input protocol (stdin, one JSON object per line):
11	//!   {"type":"init","endpoint_id":…,"node":…}   — first message (handshake; no output)
12	//!   {"type":"event","envelope":"<EVENT…>"}      — one inbound message; the full EVENT envelope
13	//!   {"type":"input"}                            — content-free ping when the operator types (no output)
14	//!
15	//! Output protocol (stdout, one JSON object per line):
16	//!   {"key":"ctrl+s"}     — keystroke command (Claude Code: STASH the current draft input)
17	//!   {"key":"enter"}      — keystroke command (submit the PTY line; see SUBMIT note below)
18	//!   {"delay_ms":50}      — inter-command pause
19	//!   {"text":"<payload>"} — text injection (the envelope; NO trailing \r — it does not submit CC)
20	//!   {"commit":true}      — MANDATORY sequence terminator (release the InjectFloor; see below)
21	//!
22	//! The per-event choreography delivers the message WITHOUT clobbering a half-typed draft the operator
23	//! may have in the input box, then terminates the inject sequence:
24	//!   1. ctrl+s              stash any existing draft
25	//!   2. delay 50ms          let the stash settle
26	//!   3. <envelope>          type the envelope (no trailing CR)
27	//!   4. delay 50ms          let the text land in CC's input box before the submit key
28	//!   5. {"key":"enter"}     submit the line
29	//!   6. {"commit":true}     terminate the inject sequence
30	//! No trailing restore keystroke: Claude Code AUTO-RESTORES the stashed draft after the submit, so a
31	//! second ctrl+s would be redundant (it would re-stash, not restore).
32	//!
33	//! SUBMIT IS A REAL ENTER KEY, NOT A TRAILING `\r` (corrected 2026-06-23): we previously rode the
34	//! submit IN the text as a trailing `\r`, on the assumption that spt-core applies `{"text"}` VERBATIM
35	//! to the PTY (broker.rs:1066, :1016-1017) and a `\r` byte == `{"key":"enter"}`
36	//! (`key_to_bytes("enter")->b"\r"`). Empirically that is NOT enough: a `\r` byte in injected text does
37	//! NOT trigger Claude Code's message submission — CC needs the discrete Enter KEY event. So step 5 is
38	//! now a separate `{"key":"enter"}` after the text lands. The verbatim-text application still REQUIRES
39	//! `commands_for_event` to neutralize the envelope's INTERNAL CR/LF (an un-neutralized `\n`/`\r` would
40	//! reach the PTY and could split or corrupt the injection) — only the discrete Enter submits.
41	//!
42	//! TWO DISTINCT SIGNALS — do not conflate them:
43	//!  - The `{"key":"enter"}` in step 5 is the HARNESS-level submit (the discrete keypress CC needs).
44	//!  - The `{"commit":true}` in step 6 is the PROTOCOL-level terminator: `run_inject_worker`
45	//!    (broker.rs:1075-1090) ends an inject sequence ONLY on an explicit `{commit}`. Text/Key/Delay
46	//!    just enqueue; a sequence that emits no `{commit}` hits `INJECT_COMMIT_DEADLINE` (5s,
47	//!    broker.rs:151-169) and FAULTS on every delivery (reverts to raw inject — input isn't lost but
48	//!    each delivery stalls to the deadline). `{commit}` flushes the live controller's buffered input
49	//!    and releases the InjectFloor race-free. Enter submits the line; `{commit}` ends the sequence.
50	//!
51	//! Degenerate fallback (per the published contract): `{"text":payload}{"key":"enter"}{"commit":true}`
52	//! with no choreography — even the bare form MUST commit. (The published manifest doc ORIGINALLY
53	//! omitted `{commit}` from the vocabulary and its degenerate example — a public-surface defect this
54	//! adapter's blind-build caught, logged F-016. The contract is now CORRECTED + live:
55	//! harness-contract/manifest.html documents `{commit}` as the mandatory terminator + the 5s
56	//! commit-deadline + inject-floor release + raw-inject fallback, since v0.13.0.)
57	//! We choreograph because Claude Code's input box supports the ctrl+s draft stash/restore, so an
58	//! inbound message never eats an in-progress draft.
59	//!
60	//! Robustness: this is lifecycle-critical — a panic would drop the idle-delivery pipe for the whole
61	//! session. Malformed lines and unknown `type`s degrade gracefully (skipped, never fatal); unknown
62	//! JSON fields are ignored (forward-compat with newer spt-core). [impl->REQ-DIST-IDLE-TRANSLATE]

**CONFIRMED with the real shipped v0.6.2 binary** — full choreography (ctrl+s + full envelope + `{key:enter}` + commit) with the absolute path → "diagnostic ping from perri" **submitted** to f19g (transcript d29be75d). Complete root cause established. Final report to doyle:


printf '%s' 'FINAL CONFIRM — shipped v0.6.2 binary submits with abs path. Fresh f19g, real choreography (ctrl+s + FULL envelope + {key:enter} + commit), normal message "diagnostic ping from perri" → SUBMITTED (appears as a user turn in f19g CC transcript, CC processing it). So the production adapter behavior is CORRECT once the binary actually spawns.

COMPLETE F-019 ROOT CAUSE: [message-idle-translation-binary].path = "cc-spt-idle-translate" (relative) → spt-core Command::new(path) NOT joined with install_dir → spawn fails (not on PATH) → fail-closed to raw-inject → stacks-unsent. Every byte/encoding/paste/focus/win32 theory was moot; the choreography binary never ran. Proven by: abs-path edit → minimal-variant token AND real v0.6.2 envelope both SUBMIT; resident translate child now spawns (was 0 = failed-spawn before).

THE FIX (yours, v0.14.2): resolve a relative [message-idle-translation-binary].path against the adapter install_dir at spawn — identical to bare-name digest/psyche command resolution (REQ-INSTALL-11). Then the shipped manifest path stays "cc-spt-idle-translate" and just works. SECONDARY (optional but recommended): build_translation should LOG LOUDLY when the spawn fails instead of silently falling back to raw-inject — the silent fail-closed is what made this a multi-hour black-box hunt (a one-line "translation binary <path> failed to spawn: <err>, falling back to raw inject" would have named it instantly). Worth a contract note too: document that the path resolves against install_dir.

INTERIM: I left the abs-path workaround in THIS node installed manifest so the operator has working idle delivery now (machine-specific hack; reverts on next adapter update). Adapter has NO portable fix (bare name needs your install_dir resolution). Ready to verify your v0.14.2 build.

### F-019 RESOLVED — actual root cause: the translation binary NEVER SPAWNED (relative path not resolved against install_dir)

**Every theory above (win32-input-mode, coalescing, bracketed-paste, focus/attach-state) was a RED
HERRING.** The decisive find (doyle, source-traced, 2026-06-23): the manifest declares

```toml
[message-idle-translation-binary]
path = "cc-spt-idle-translate"      # RELATIVE — bare name
```

and spt-core spawns it as `Command::new(path)` **without joining it against the adapter install_dir**
(harnesshost.rs:142-145 passes the path verbatim into the SpawnReq; broker.rs:1677 `Command::new`).
A relative path therefore resolves against the **daemon's cwd / PATH** — NOT the
`…/adapters/_github/SaberMage-spt-claude-code/` dir where the binary actually lives. `cc-spt-idle-translate`
is on neither, so **the spawn fails**, and `build_translation` **fails closed to RAW INJECT**
(broker.rs:1671-1677) — which types the message + a raw `\r` as one burst → the exact "envelope stacks
in the box, unsent" symptom. **The choreography binary never executed.** That is why every per-binary
probe behaved identically (they were all raw-inject) and why no byte/shape/timing changed anything.

**Proof (perri, on-node):**
- Edited the *installed* manifest path to the ABSOLUTE exe (`C:/…/_github/…/cc-spt-idle-translate.exe`),
  brought up a fresh endpoint → a deliberately-distinct "minimal" binary (emits a fixed token, ignoring
  the envelope) **ran and SUBMITTED** (token appeared as a CC user turn; CC began responding). Before the
  edit, fresh endpoints ignored every binary variant (raw-inject).
- Restored the real **shipped v0.6.2** binary, fresh endpoint, normal message → **SUBMITTED** (full
  choreography: `ctrl+s` · `{text:envelope}` · `{key:enter}` · `{commit}`). A resident
  `cc-spt-idle-translate.exe` child now spawns per endpoint (it was 0 = failed-spawn before).

**So the adapter choreography was CORRECT ALL ALONG** — `{text}{key:enter}{commit}` submits CC fine once
the binary actually runs. (Corollary: the v0.6.1→v0.6.2 `\r`→`{key:enter}` change was moot — neither ran.)

**THE FIX (spt-core, F-019 → v0.14.2, doyle owns):**
1. **Resolve a relative `[message-idle-translation-binary].path` against the adapter install_dir** at
   spawn (same as bare-name `digest`/`psyche` command resolution, REQ-INSTALL-11). Then the shipped
   `path = "cc-spt-idle-translate"` works as authored, host-agnostic.
2. **Log loudly on translation-binary spawn failure** instead of silently falling back to raw-inject —
   the silent fail-closed is what turned this into a multi-hour black-box hunt. One line
   (`translation binary <path> failed to spawn: <err>; falling back to raw inject`) would have named it
   instantly.
3. Contract note: document that the path resolves against install_dir.

**INTERIM (this node only):** the installed manifest path is left set to the absolute exe so the operator
has working idle delivery now — a machine-specific hack that reverts on the next `spt adapter update`.
There is **no portable adapter-side fix** (the bare name needs spt-core's install_dir resolution); the
published manifest stays relative pending the spt-core fix.

**Status:** **ROOT-CAUSED + VERIFIED FIX PATH — handed to doyle for spt-core v0.14.2.** Adapter requires
no logic change. perri to verify the v0.14.2 build (relative path resolves + submits on a clean install).


<owl_messages>
<owl_message from="doyle" priority="high">perri — FINAL CONFIRM received. F-019 fully nailed: shipped v0.6.2 choreography SUBMITS once the binary actually spawns; root = relative translation path not joined with install_dir → Command::new fails → silent raw-inject fallback → stacks unsent. Adapter was correct all along. Stellar black-box work driving it to ground — your relative-path manifest read + abs-path proof clinched it.

Design DONE + committed (F-019-TRANSLATION-BINARY-INSTALL-DIR-RESOLVE-DESIGN.md @1941eb8). It covers ALL your recommendations:
1. FIX: route translation_binary through the EXISTING resolve_program_in_dir (REQ-INSTALL-11) — same resolver session/digest/psyche already use; shipped path "cc-spt-idle-translate" then resolves to <install_dir>/cc-spt-idle-translate.exe. No adapter change.
2. SECONDARY (agreed, in the build): build_translation logs LOUDLY on spawn failure (TRANSLATION_SPAWN_FAILED:<path>:<err>) instead of silent fail-closed — the silent fallback is exactly what made this multi-hour. Also a KNOWN-HAZARDS note.
3. Contract/doc note: the path resolves against install_dir.
4. Sibling-surface audit: confirm every adapter-shipped program (session/psyche/digest/runners/hooks) resolves against install_dir, not just the translation binary.

Dispatching todlando now → v0.14.2. KEEP your abs-path interim workaround in this node's manifest (operator gets working idle delivery now); it reverts on the next adapter update, by which point spt-core resolves the bare name. I'll ping you to verify the v0.14.2 build on real claude-spt (your rig is the only real CC-on-Windows). Thank you — clean close.</owl_message>

There is **no portable adapter-side fix** (the bare name needs spt-core's install_dir resolution); the

published manifest stays relative pending the spt-core fix.

docs(findings): F-019 RESOLVED — translation binary never spawned (relative path)

Root cause (doyle source-trace + perri on-node proof): the manifest
[message-idle-translation-binary].path = "cc-spt-idle-translate" is
relative, and spt-core spawns it via Command::new(path) WITHOUT joining
install_dir, so it resolves against the daemon cwd/PATH (not the _github
install dir) → spawn fails → silent fail-closed to RAW INJECT → message
typed but never submitted ("stacks unsent").

Every prior theory (win32-input-mode, coalescing, bracketed-paste,
focus/attach-state) was a red herring: the choreography binary never ran.
Proven by editing the installed manifest to an absolute path — both a
distinct minimal variant AND the shipped v0.6.2 binary then SPAWN and
SUBMIT correctly. So the adapter choreography ({text}{key:enter}{commit})
was correct all along.

Fix is spt-core's (v0.14.2, design @1941eb8): resolve a relative
translation-binary path against install_dir (REQ-INSTALL-11), log loudly
on spawn failure, + sibling-surface audit. Adapter needs no change.
Interim abs-path workaround left on this node for working idle delivery.

Done — F-019 resolved end to end. Final diagnosis:

## Root cause: the idle-translation binary never ran

The manifest declares `[message-idle-translation-binary].path = "cc-spt-idle-translate"` — a **relative** name. spt-core spawns it with `Command::new(path)` **without resolving it against the adapter install dir**, so it looks on the daemon's cwd/PATH — where the binary isn't. **The spawn silently fails and falls back to "raw inject"** (types the message + a raw `\r` as one burst) → message lands in the box but never submits. The exact symptom you reported.

**Everything before this was a red herring** — `\r`-vs-Enter, win32-input-mode, paste-detection, coalescing, focus/attach-state. The choreography binary never executed, so no byte/shape/timing change could matter. (Including my v0.6.1→v0.6.2 `\r`→`{key:enter}` "fix" — moot; it never ran either.) The silent fail-closed (no log) is what turned this into a long hunt.

**Proof:** I pointed the installed manifest at the binary's absolute path → idle messages **now submit** — verified twice (a distinct minimal-token build *and* the real shipped v0.6.2 envelope both submit; CC receives and starts responding). A resident translate child now spawns per endpoint (it was 0 = failed-spawn before).

## Fix
- **spt-core's, v0.14.2** (doyle designed + dispatched to todlando, design `@1941eb8`): resolve a relative translation path against `install_dir` (same `resolve_program_in_dir` as digest/psyche, REQ-INSTALL-11) + **log loudly on spawn failure** + contract note + audit every adapter-shipped program for the same bug. **The adapter needs no change** — its choreography was correct all along.
- I verify the v0.14.2 build on this rig when doyle pings (it's the only real CC-on-Windows node).

## Right now on this machine
I left an **absolute-path workaround** in the installed manifest, so **your idle delivery works now**. Caveat: it's machine-specific and **reverts on the next `spt adapter update`** — by which point v0.14.2 should resolve the bare name properly. The install-dir binary is the real v0.6.2.

## Cleanup
- Purged all test endpoints (f19c–g, f019probe); **call-a / wall-a untouched**.
- **No DIAG probe ever submitted into a real session** (verified) — your work was never polluted.
- Killed the throwaway capture/translate processes I spawned.
- F-019 written up + committed + pushed (full saga + resolution).
- Minor: installed `pywinpty` for the ConPTY capture — harmless; `pip uninstall pywinpty` to remove.

Net: a real spt-core distribution bug (silent translation-binary spawn failure), found by ruling out the entire byte/encoding space first. Fix is in motion; idle delivery works on your node in the meantime.

deployah broadcast: **v0.14.1 published** (counter 31) — that's the **F-018 adapter-safety fast-follow** (the open item from before this session): `adapter add` now non-destructive (refuses re-add of a registered adapter, stages-then-swaps, no os-error-2 clobber), clearer installed-vs-pending messages, interactive `endpoint run` subnet picker. Hashes: linux `1e64d63a` / win `2fbbfe03`.

Two notes:
- **Separate from F-019.** The idle-submit fix is **v0.14.2** (translation-binary install_dir resolution), still building. v0.14.1 = F-018 only.
- **My F-019 abs-path interim is safe** — a spt-core update to 0.14.1 doesn't touch the installed adapter manifest. Idle delivery keeps working on this node.

F-018 validation (re-test `add --github` refuses/routes-to-update, no wipe-before-success, os-2 carries path) is a known open item — want me to run it now, or hold until you're ready? It's unrelated to the F-019 work just closed.

- [v0.8.1 dogfood → v0.2.0 → v0.2.1 SHIPPED](v074-follow-ups.md) — psyche blocker fixed (ddf1965 greedy --prompt); F-006 retired; v0.2.0 (win+linux .spt) + auto-update proven; cplugs sptc 0.1.2; F-009/F-010 re-validated v0.8.2. **v0.2.1 SHIPPED** (doyle live-bringup feedback): self-contained /sptc:live injection (killed how-to redirect) + humanized output (OUTPUT DISCIPLINE + canonical LIVE block) + staged host_binaries=["claude"]. **PREP-4 HELD** for spt-core v0.9.0 ping (agnostic-seed/by-pid resolution, ADR-0021): bare SessionStart seed, drop --adapter + seed/listen chain, `spt adapter use` in setup.
- [PREP-4 → v0.3.0 → PARITY ARC CLOSED](prep4-v030-parity-closed.md) — **v0.3.0 SHIPPED** (Option A: psyche_init in BASE, NO :live profile, bare flow zero --adapter, min_spt_core 0.9.0; ready/live = the command). cplugs sptc 0.1.3. Verified+dogfooded on spt 0.9.1 (F1 broker-bounce, F2b stem-matcher for CC's renamed-in-use exe, bare live→psyche, poll-stays-ready). F-011 deferred-Pointer-manifest silent-drop = real spt-core gap (doyle minting). F-012 legacy-owl poll death = not-spt-core.
- [Per-OS adapter.spt + setup waves](per-os-and-setup-waves.md) — per-OS .spt (windows+linux, linux cross-built via cargo-zigbuild) DONE; setup {1..7}: #7 ccs + #3/#4 subnet DONE, #6 installer-handled, #1 gated-M12, #5 deferred-by-design (F-008).
- [Succession flip gated](succession-flip-gated.md) — publish as sptc; flip to spt only after proven parity AND legacy owl retired.
- [Psyche sandbox + ADR-leak → v0.4.0 SHIPPED](psyche-sandbox-and-adr-leak.md) — 2026-06-18: psyche sandboxed to legacy-owl parity (ADR-0003, REQ-HAZARD-PSYCHE-PERMS-DEADLOCK); skip-perms on bringup; `:deep` removed; **only ADR-0001/0002 are real here — 0003..0021 were foreign-leak, wiped**; **SHIPPED v0.4.0** (both per-OS .spt, no cplugs bump, min_spt_core stays 0.9.0); spt-core 0.12.0 out but not required; experimplate clean.
- [W3 validated + F-017 seed + v0.6.1 fat packaging](v06x-w3-f017-v061.md) — 2026-06-22 (perri): spt-core v0.13.2. **W3 psyche-lock VALIDATED** (F-010×F-015 closed both sides, `.live-bin` own-copy). **F-017 multi-subnet seed shipped** (ci/subnet, =REQ-RUN-MULTISUBNET-HOME, doyle v0.14.0). **v0.6.1 SHIPPED — F-014 DEAD**: single multi-platform fat adapter.spt (per-triple subdirs, 2 recognized triples, min_spt_core→0.13.2), /sptc:setup bare `adapter add --release`, cplugs 0.1.5, proof-ints→`--dir/--manifest`; real-extract proven on-node. Findings: F-018 (add --github footgun), multi-platform layout was doc-gap (doyle PR#31). **NEXT: v0.14.0 publish validation on doyle's ping.**

+- [F-019 idle-submit root cause + v0.6.2 + v0.14.1](f019-idle-submit-and-v0142.md) — 2026-06-23 (perri): idle msgs never submitted = **relative translation-binary path not resolved against install_dir** → spawn fails → silent raw-inject fallback → stacks-unsent. Binary NEVER ran (all byte/encoding/paste/focus theories were red herrings). Fix = spt-core **v0.14.2** (resolve_program_in_dir + loud spawn-fail log; doyle @1941eb8, todlando building). Adapter unchanged; **v0.6.2 shipped** (moot). Interim abs-path hack on this node. **v0.14.1 out** (F-018 adapter-safety). perri verifies v0.14.2 on doyle's ping.


Memory updated (F-019 finding + v0.14.1 indexed).

State clean. F-019 closed on my side (fix dispatched → v0.14.2; idle delivery works on this node via interim hack; documented + pushed). v0.14.1/F-018 noted.

Waiting your call: run F-018 validation now, or hold?

On standby for v0.14.2. doyle pings at publish; my perch delivers it. Validation plan locked (revert hack → confirm bare-name spawn → confirm submit + loud-log). Interim hack stays — your idle delivery keeps working meanwhile.

Nothing to do until the publish ping. F-018 validation still open whenever you want it.

# /spt:commune

All commands use `$LIVE` env var, auto-injected by the plugin's SessionStart hook. If commands fail with "command not found", restart the Claude Code session so the SessionStart hook re-runs.

> **Identity auto-detection:** Your identity is auto-detected from your session. Pass your ID explicitly only if auto-detection fails.

## Flow

1. **Download Psyche's *current* context** — it shifts during the session as background echo communes fire. Re-download right before composing; the gen-N snapshot you read at session start is already stale:
   ```bash
   $LIVE psyche-download <your-id>
   ```

   > **Output truncation.** If the Bash tool reports `Output too large (N KB)` and saves the full result to a `tool-results/<id>.txt` file, use the `Read` tool on that saved path to access the full content. Do NOT re-run `psyche-download` to grep/awk out sections — repeated invocations re-download the same context, waste tokens, and may duplicate `## Pending Commune` sections in `live_context.md`.

2. **Diff your knowledge against this fresh download** — only what's missing from *it* is the real delta (new work, decisions, intentions). Anything already absorbed is not. If the download includes a `<memformat>` section, use it as a guide for what topics to cover. A `## Pending Commune (uncommitted)` section means a previous commune is still queued — do NOT re-send it.

3. **Commune only the delta** -- use the **Write tool** to create
   `.claude/{your-id}-commune.md` with the two-slice body as its contents
   (see `## Two-slice body shape (Phase 25 D-10/D-11)` below for the required
   envelope wrapping). Do not use Bash/heredoc -- Write is the canonical path:
   no shell escaping, no `EOF` collision risk, and Write auto-creates the
   `.claude/` parent directory.

   Your Self listener detects the file on its next poll iteration, notifies
   your Psyche wrapper, and the wrapper ingests the content via the existing
   Psyche session. On success (subprocess exit code 0) the wrapper deletes the
   file. On error (token rate limit, etc) the file is retained and retried on
   the next consume cycle. If you write again before the wrapper consumes, the
   latest write wins (last-write-wins overwrite semantics).

If Psyche's context is already current, no commune is needed. Say so and move on.

Read `commune.md` (in this skill directory) for the full commune protocol -- when to send, what to include, and diligence triggers.

**Agent-type guard:** Only works on live agents. If target is not live, refuses with: "Communes require a live agent with Psyche."

## Two-slice body shape (Phase 25 D-10/D-11)

The body you write in `.claude/{your-id}-commune.md` MUST itself be wrapped in two-slice envelopes per Phase 25 D-10/D-11. The taxonomy — what belongs in `<live-context>` vs `<project-context>` — is defined canonically in `psyche.md` §`<output_envelope>` (lines 282–323). Read that section as the source of truth; this skill doc teaches only when and how to apply it.

**In-project detection rule (D-25.1-04).** Before composing your commune body, run `$LIVE psyche-download <your-id>` (Step 1 of `## Flow` above) and inspect the `<current ... />` tag at the top of the output. The `<current/>` tag carries a `project="..."` attribute whenever any payload is produced — its presence means you are inside a tracked project (inside a git repo, `project` is the repo name; outside a git repo per D-11, `project` is the cwd-basename fallback, which still counts as a project context for routing purposes). A `psyche-download` invocation that returns no payload at all (NO-CONTEXT exit) means no project resolved. So: `project="..."` populated on `<current/>` → emit BOTH envelopes (apply rule 1 or 2 below); no payload at all → emit ONLY `<live-context>` (rule 3). Secondary signal: the `<project-context-resolved name="..."/>` sentinel further down the output indicates the project file already has prior content — useful for spotting first-time-in-project pairings, but NOT the routing rule.

**Three rules (D-25.1-01..03):**

- **In-project, both slices populated** (marker present, you have project-specific content this cycle): emit `<live-context>...</live-context>` AND `<project-context>...</project-context>`, both with non-empty bodies.
- **In-project, no project-specific update this cycle** (marker present, but nothing project-bound to report): emit `<live-context>...</live-context>` AND `<project-context></project-context>` (empty body — the deliberate "in-project but quiet" signal per D-25.1-02). Distinguishable from "no project resolved".
- **Outside any tracked project** (marker absent): emit ONLY `<live-context>...</live-context>`. Do NOT emit an empty `<project-context>` envelope (missing tag means "no project resolved" per D-25.1-03).

**Nested envelopes.** The Phase 23 `<EVENT type="commune">` envelope (see `## Envelope shape (Phase 23 v1.8)` below) is composed by `$LIVE commune` automatically — you NEVER write `<EVENT>` tags. You write ONLY the inner two-slice body. The two envelope layers nest: outer EVENT wraps inner two-slice body.

(See `psyche.md` §`<output_envelope>` for the canonical taxonomy and per-slice content rules.)

## Envelope shape (Phase 23 v1.8)

As of v1.8 Phase 23, commune deliveries are wrapped in a typed EVENT envelope carrying a 5-field stamp (`machine`, `project`, `branch`, `head_sha`, `head_subject`); the prose `COMMUNE (timestamp): body` form is gone.

```xml
<EVENT type="commune" timestamp="2026-05-20T06:00:00-07:00" machine="hostname" project="claude_skill_owl" branch="main" head_sha="abc123..." head_subject="subject line capped at 72 chars">body</EVENT>
```

Outside a git repo (D-11), `branch`, `head_sha`, and `head_subject` are omitted entirely (not empty-string-set):

```xml
<EVENT type="commune" timestamp="2026-05-20T06:00:00-07:00" machine="hostname" project="cwd-basename">body</EVENT>
```

`$LIVE commune` composes this envelope automatically — Self does NOT manually construct EVENT XML. The `body` placeholder in the example above is the two-slice body (see `## Two-slice body shape (Phase 25 D-10/D-11)` above); the two envelope layers nest. The wrapper-side parser ignores unknown attrs, so the stamp fields are forward-compatible with older receivers. For drift detection on resume, see the `live` skill.

**F-019 RESOLVED.** Root cause: idle-translation binary spawn failed silently in spt-core (`Command::new("cc-spt-idle-translate")` without install_dir resolution → falls back to raw inject). All prior probing (A/B/A′, brackets, coalescing, byte-order) was misdirection — binary never executed.

**Proof:** Absolute path in manifest → submit works (minimal build + v0.6.2 verified). Resident translate child now spawns per endpoint (was 0 = failed-spawn).

**Fix (v0.14.2):** doyle designed (@1941eb8), dispatched to todlando — resolve relative path vs install_dir (same as digest/psyche), loud spawn-failure log, contract note, audit all adapter programs. Adapter choreography was correct; no change needed.

**Current:** Absolute-path workaround live on this rig (machine-specific, reverts on adapter update). F-019 written up + committed + pushed. Purged test endpoints (f19c–g, probe); no real session polluted. Verify when v0.14.2 lands.<project-context-resolved name="spt-claude-code"/>
F-019 **CLOSED**. Root cause isolated (silent translation-binary spawn failure in spt-core's install_dir resolution), fix designed, deployed to executor. Real v0.6.2 binary confirmed functional with absolute path (idle messages submit, CC responds). Cleanup complete. Next: verify v0.14.2 on delivery.


Psyche already has the F-019 core (my earlier commune ingested). Delta = v0.14.1 published, v0.14.2 cutting + standby/validation plan, F-018 still open, resume pointers. In-project → both slices. Writing the delta:

STANDBY: doyle cutting **v0.14.2 NOW** (operator GO) = the F-019 fix. deployah cutting, doyle gates the PR. doyle PINGS me at publish (counter assigned). My interim abs-path hack STAYS live until then (operator keeps working idle delivery now).

ON RESUME / on doyle's v0.14.2-publish ping → run the locked 3-step validation on THIS rig (only real CC-on-Windows node):
1. Revert the abs-path interim in the INSTALLED manifest (`…/adapters/_github/SaberMage-spt-claude-code/manifest.toml`, `[message-idle-translation-binary].path`) back to the bare relative `"cc-spt-idle-translate"`.
2. Bring up a FRESH endpoint; confirm the bare name resolves + a resident `cc-spt-idle-translate.exe` child spawns (NOT the 0-process = failed-spawn state).
3. Confirm a real idle message SUBMITS (envelope becomes a CC user turn + CC responds — transcript-grep for a UNIQUE token + `rc --view`); bonus: confirm `TRANSLATION_SPAWN_FAILED:<path>:<err>` logs loud on a deliberately-bad path.

ALSO-OPEN (offered to operator, not yet run): **F-018 re-validation** on v0.14.1 — `adapter add --github` refuses/routes-to-update, no wipe-before-success, os-2 carries path. Independent of F-019.

This-session housekeeping done: F-019 written up + committed + pushed (HEAD docs(findings) F-019 RESOLVED); test endpoints f19c–g + f019probe purged; no DIAG probe ever polluted a real session; install-dir binary = real v0.6.2; throwaway processes killed; memory updated (f019-idle-submit-and-v0142.md + index). `pywinpty` pip-installed for the ConPTY capture (harmless).

Hashes linux `1e64d63a` / win `2fbbfe03`. Non-interactive `--subnet` path unchanged. **F-018 re-validation still OPEN.**

**v0.14.2 (cutting now)** = the F-019 fix: spt-core resolves a relative `[message-idle-translation-binary].path` against the adapter `install_dir` (same `resolve_program_in_dir` / REQ-INSTALL-11 as digest/psyche) so the shipped bare `"cc-spt-idle-translate"` spawns; + loud `TRANSLATION_SPAWN_FAILED` log instead of silent raw-inject fallback; + contract note; + sibling-surface audit (all adapter-shipped programs resolve vs install_dir). doyle design @1941eb8 → todlando. **Adapter needs NO change** — its `{text}{key:enter}{commit}` choreography was correct all along (the binary just never ran).

**F-019 RETEST METHODOLOGY (learned this session):** the translation binary is spawned per-endpoint and stays **resident** while the endpoint is online; install-dir hot-swaps do NOT affect already-running endpoints → always bring up a FRESH endpoint after deploying a new binary to test it. Submit-detection = grep the CC session transcript (under `~/.claude/projects/<cwd-mangled>/`) for a **distinctive** token (short tokens like 4 chars collide with base64 blobs in other sessions — false positives). Headless `endpoint run` endpoints have NO GUI window (screen-timelapse can't see them); observe via `spt rc --view` (racy/truncates over a pipe) or transcript-grep.

**Node now:** spt-core **v0.14.1**, claude-spt **v0.6.2** (shipped this session — `\r`→`{key:enter}` 6-step choreography; moot for the bug since the binary never ran, but contract-correct; no re-release needed).

**End goal (orientation for resume):** spt-claude-code = the rebuilt Claude Code harness adapter (`claude-spt`) — spt-core's v1 acceptance proof, its first casual-end-user entrypoint (a CC plugin published as `sptc`), and an invisible spt-core installer. Built against the **published public surface of spt-core ONLY** (never the spt-core source); missing capabilities are findings to report, not reasons to reach into source. Succession `sptc`→`spt` gated on proven parity + legacy-owl retirement.
