PART A spine in place (broker gate + reply payload + units). The remaining W1 is large (wire the hint through `inject_endpoint`→`cmd_send`, fault re-spool, idle-drain, PART B, + sweep ~10 inject tests to set `.idle`). My context is very deep after the v0.14.3 marathon + this build. Confirm the spine compiles (clean checkpoint state), then capture exact WIP + hand off for a fresh resume:

Edit

**STATUS: W1 GROUNDED, awaiting doyle layering confirm (not yet built).**

**STATUS: W1 PART A SPINE STARTED — compiles (cargo check -p spt-daemon EXIT0), UNCOMMITTED on disk (v0.15.0-messaging). NOT gateable yet (test sweep + caller wiring remain). Checkpointed at deep context.**

**DONE (on disk, compiling):**
- `msg.rs`: `EndpointInjected` gained `#[serde(default)] pub spool_deferred: bool` (the activity-gate hint: delivered=false + spool_deferred=true ⇒ caller spools DEFERRED/active; false ⇒ NON-deferred/idle-relay-wakes; N-1-safe). `endpoint_injected_envelope(endpoint, delivered, spool_deferred)` — 3rd arg added.
- `broker.rs` `dispatch_endpoint_input`: ACTIVITY GATE — reads `spt_store::perch::resolve_idle_file(&req.endpoint, ParentHint::Infer).exists()`. Routes: `!idle`(ACTIVE)→reply(delivered=false, spool_deferred=TRUE), no inject; IDLE+working-binary→inject→reply(true,false); IDLE+no-binary→reply(false,false). None(no session)→reply(false,false). Tagged `[impl->REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES]`.
- `msg.rs` units updated to 3-arg + renamed `endpoint_injected_envelope_carries_delivered_both_ways`→`_carries_delivered_and_spool_hint` (asserts active=deferred / idle=non-deferred / delivered / N-1 serde-default false). Tagged [unit->REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES].

**REMAINING W1 (ordered) — NOT yet done:**
1. **ACTIVATE `REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES` +impl** in traceable-reqs.toml (currently `["doc"]` → `["doc","impl"]`; unit/int at W4). NOT yet done — do before declaring (traceable will FAIL on the [impl->] tags I already added until activated... actually impl tags on a doc-only req = traceable error; ACTIVATE EARLY).
2. **brain.rs `inject_endpoint`** (:1189) returns `Ok(reply.delivered)` (bool) → change to return the hint too (e.g. `EndpointInjected` or `(bool,bool)`) so the caller sees spool_deferred.
3. **cli.rs `try_broker_inject`** (:3510, returns bool) + **`cmd_send`** (:3522): on delivered=false, spool with the broker hint — active→`deliver::send_deferred`, idle→`deliver::send`. (Keep existing `--deferred` flag; W2 renames it.)
4. **broker.rs `run_inject_worker`** fault path (~:1099): on fault (no-commit/death + RETURN), RE-SPOOL the queued-undelivered events to the endpoint's PERCH SPOOL (`spt_store::spool::spool_message_at`, NON-deferred/idle-eligible — doyle: a faulted idle-delivery belongs back in the idle window). Needs the endpoint id + the queued envelopes in the worker (currently the worker only has event_rx of envelopes; may need to thread endpoint id into Translation/the worker). GROUND THIS — the worker may not currently know its endpoint id.
5. **idle-transition DRAIN** (the wake): in `delivery.rs cmd_state` idle (spt crate) — on `.idle` flip, re-attempt delivery of non-deferred idle-spool (spt-hosted: re-inject via brain.inject_endpoint; harness-hosted: relay auto-surfaces). GROUND: does cmd_state have brain access?
6. **PART B**: `delivery.rs cmd_poll` (:147) kill `let _methods` discard → relay/poll honors manifest `[inject]` idle/activity methods (use the resolved methods, not discard).
7. **★ TEST SWEEP (BIG ripple, [[shared-seam-change-run-all-seam-tests]]):** the activity gate makes the DEFAULT (no `.idle`) route to ACTIVE→spool — so EVERY existing test that sends to a hosted binary expecting INJECTION now spools instead. MUST set `.idle` (write IDLE_SENTINEL, or `api state idle`) in: inject_control_wedge g1/g2/g3/g4/large_endpoint/p0_paste (those expecting inject), broker.rs endpoint_keyed_inject + wall_b. GREP all KIND_ENDPOINT_INPUT senders + deliver_endpoint_event/spawn_xlate_session helpers; add idle-set. Consider an idle-set in spawn_xlate_session helper. RE-RUN full `cargo nextest run -p spt-daemon` until green.
8. **NEW W1 tests:** unit routing decision-table (injected sentinel: active→spool / idle→inject / idle-transition→drain, no wall-clock) + int (real broker+PTY nextest): active→spool-not-inject · idle→reaches-PTY-via-binary · active→idle-transition drains+delivers · fault-mid-sequence re-spools (delivered=false, not lost).
9. GATE: full nextest -p spt-daemon + clippy --workspace 0 + traceable EXIT0 + xtask check + rebuild bin. Surface green to doyle ($OWL send doyle); he re-runs all on the real commit.

**GROUND-FIRST NOTES for resume:** run_inject_worker may not know its endpoint id (step 4) — check Translation struct / build_translation; thread endpoint id if missing. cmd_state brain access (step 5). The `.idle` default-active ripple (step 7) is the biggest surface.

**(historical) GROUNDING — broker reads sentinel via spt_store::perch::resolve_idle_file (crate-boundary clean); resolve_inject_methods is spt-crate. doyle confirmed.**

**v0.15.0 messaging milestone — W1 KICKOFF (doyle assigned, operator GO 2026-06-23).** Follows v0.14.3 (raw-inject removal [[v0143-raw-inject-removal]]). Branch **`v0.15.0-messaging` @8fd2e51** (off main 90852bf = v0.14.3 published counter 33). **AUTHORITATIVE TASK DOC = `V0.15.0-PLAN.md` (repo root) + `docs/adr/0028-activity-gated-delivery-and-send-modifier-axes.md` — READ BOTH FIRST.** doyle gates, perri validates real CC at publish. doyle re-runs ALL gates on the real commit (never trusts the green report — v0.14.3 discipline).

**MILESTONE (4 waves):** close the legacy-SPT parity gap = wire the scaffolded-but-DEAD activity-gated inbound routing (2 windows: ACTIVE=spool for hook-poll / IDLE=deliver+wake via binary→relay-poll→spool), then expose 3 orthogonal `spt send` axes — window (`--idle-only`/`--active-only`[renames `--deferred`]/default) × channel (`--prefer-native`/`--force-native`/unrestricted) × persistence (`--ephemeral`/durable) — + `--json-payload` (opaque `json=""` envelope attr). W1=substrate+fault-transient, W2=window+persistence axes (CLI+spool schema), W3=channel axis, W4=metadata+console-window fix+docs+final traceable.

**W1 SCOPE (NO send flags — make DEFAULT routing correct):**
1. ACTIVATE `REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES` `+impl` (was doc-only seed). int at final wave (W4) per [[traceable-per-wave-activation]].
2. WIRE THE DEAD ROUTER: `crates/spt/src/api/delivery.rs` `is_idle(id)` (:97), `resolve_inject_methods(manifest, idle)` (:112), the discarded `let _methods = resolve_inject_methods(…)` (:147) → thread idle sentinel + methods into broker `dispatch_endpoint_input` (broker.rs ~:1875, the v0.14.3 spine). Route by `.idle`: ACTIVE → spool (delivered=false, hook-poll surfaces); IDLE (or idle-transition) → deliver immediately (translation-binary → relay-poll → spool fallback order).
3. IDLE-TRANSITION DRAIN (the WAKE, spt-core-driven via relay-poll per operator ruling — NOT adapter-mediated): when `api state idle` flips the `.idle` sentinel (`delivery.rs cmd_state` :57, perch.rs IDLE_SENTINEL), daemon DRAINS idle-window-eligible spooled inbound for the endpoint + delivers to binary/relay.
4. FAULT-TRANSIENT RE-SPOOL (closes the REQ-HAZARD-IDLE-SILENT-NONDELIVERY transient — Design-RESOLVED #2 (a)): `broker.rs run_inject_worker` fault path (~:1099, faults on no-commit/death + RETURNS dropping queued events) → RE-SPOOL queued-undelivered events to the endpoint's PERCH SPOOL (broker-side `spt_store::spool` write, delivered=false-equiv, poll-fed, NEVER lost). KEEP current caller-spool + delivered-bool model — NOT the full ack-on-spool relocation (later milestone, OUT OF SCOPE).

**W1 TESTS:** unit = routing decision-table (active→spool / idle→inject / idle-transition→drain) INJECTED sentinel, NO wall-clock. int (real broker+PTY, NEXTEST) = active→spool-not-inject · idle→reaches-PTY-via-binary · active→idle-transition drains+delivers · fault-mid-sequence re-spools (delivered=false, not lost). GATE = two-window routing correct + fault-transient closed.

**KEY ANCHORS (V0.15.0-PLAN.md §22-30):** delivery.rs (is_idle:97 / resolve_inject_methods:112 / dead let_methods:147 / cmd_state:57); broker.rs (dispatch_endpoint_input ~:1875 / run_inject_worker ~:1099); translation.rs TranslationChild::spawn:240 (W4 console-window CREATE_NO_WINDOW site); cli.rs Send clap ~:62 / --deferred :71-73 / cmd_send:3522 / try_broker_inject:3510; brain.rs inject_endpoint:1189; spool.rs (deferred col :59, spool_message_at/_deferred_at, drain_non_deferred_at/drain_all_at, ttl_seconds — W2 schema ext); event.rs compose_typed_event:189 (W4 json attr).

**GATE DISCIPLINE (MANDATORY, v0.14.3-paid, SAME broker seam):** `cargo nextest run -p spt-daemon` FULL crate (NOT bare cargo test = env-race; NOT just edited file = sibling escape [[shared-seam-change-run-all-seam-tests]]) · `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets`=0 (incl `///` doc-comments, EVERY amend [[ci-clippy-preflight-workspace]]) · traceable EXIT0 · xtask gen/check docs-drift · rebuild bin · grep tests for OLD behavior before any rename ([[behavior-change-grep-tests-not-comments]]). everyone on LEGACY owl — `$OWL send doyle` ([[owl-send-not-legacy-spt-send]]).

**OUT OF SCOPE (doyle):** backlog-drain-on-binary-up (idle-transition drain + subsequent sends cover it; separate change); full ack-on-spool spool-relocation redesign (ADR-0028 end-state, later milestone). W4 also: AMEND REQ-HAZARD-IDLE-SILENT-NONDELIVERY title w/ `--ephemeral` carve-out (sole sender-opted-in silent-drop); EXTEND REQ-HAZARD-CHILD-CONSOLE-FLASH to translation-binary spawn.

**STATUS: W1 GROUNDED, awaiting doyle layering confirm (not yet built).**

**GROUNDING FINDINGS (read delivery.rs + perch.rs + v0.14.3 dispatch spine):**
- CRATE BOUNDARY: `is_idle` + `resolve_inject_methods` are in the **`spt` crate** (`api/delivery.rs`); `dispatch_endpoint_input` is in **spt-daemon** (spt→depends→spt-daemon, NOT vice-versa). Broker CANNOT call `delivery::resolve_inject_methods`.
- BUT the sentinel IS shared: **`spt_store::perch::resolve_idle_file(id, hint)`** (perch.rs:382) + `IDLE_SENTINEL`=".idle" (perch.rs:376) — broker reads idle directly via spt-store, no spt-crate dep. (also `resolve_echo_gate_file`:389, `.more-done` ECHO_GATE_SENTINEL:379.)
- `cmd_state(id,"idle",no_gate)` (delivery.rs:36) writes `.idle` + arms echo-gate; `"busy"` removes `.idle`. `is_idle`=resolve_idle_file.exists() (:97). The discarded `let _methods = resolve_inject_methods(manifest, is_idle(id))` is in `cmd_poll` (delivery.rs:147) — the hook-drain surface.
- spool API (spt-store::spool, broker-accessible): `spool_message_at(perch,from,body)`, `spool_message_deferred_at`, `drain_non_deferred_at`/`drain_all_at`, `pending_count_at`, `ttl_seconds`. `poll_drain` (delivery.rs:196) keys on resting gate.

**★ doyle DESIGN RULING (CONFIRMED, GO 2026-06-23) — W1 SPINE, 2 surfaces same wave:**
1. CRATE BOUNDARY confirmed — broker gate reads `.idle` DIRECTLY via spt_store::perch (the plan's "wire resolve_inject_methods INTO dispatch_endpoint_input" was imprecise about WHERE).
2. **PART A (spt-daemon broker, spt-HOSTED PTY path):** `dispatch_endpoint_input` gates via the sentinel → {IDLE+working-binary → INJECT (delivered=true) | ACTIVE → spool | IDLE+no-binary → spool}. (My route reading CORRECT.)
3. **PART B (spt, api/delivery.rs, HARNESS-HOSTED relay/poll path):** kill the `let _methods` discard in cmd_poll → relay/poll honors manifest `[inject]` idle/activity methods. SEPARATE surface, SAME wave. (So the let_methods fix IS in W1 scope — wired to honor methods, NOT a throwaway.)
4. RELAY-POLL COLLAPSE confirmed: "binary→relay-poll→spool" = binary-inject (spt-hosted idle) ELSE spool, where the spool's DRAINER is the relay/poll (api listen PUSHES for idle = the wake; hook-poll drains for active). idle+no-binary→spool surfaced by the live relay = spt-core-driven wake.
5. **★ THE #4 NUANCE (deferred-column REUSE — the elegant key):** active-spool vs idle-spool map onto the EXISTING `deferred` column — ACTIVE → spool **deferred=1** (relay SKIPS, hook-poll only, NO wake); IDLE+no-binary → spool **deferred=0** (relay PUSHES = wake). Broker replies delivered=false for BOTH active+binary AND idle+no-binary — but the CALLER must spool with the right deferred-ness. **RULING: EXTEND the KIND_ENDPOINT_INJECTED reply payload (EndpointInjected) with the activity/window hint** (additive bool, serde-default false = N-1-safe today's non-deferred; mirrors InputReq.ack v0.13.0 P1b) → cmd_send/deliver::send spools deferred(active)/non-deferred(idle) DETERMINISTICALLY off the broker's ONE sentinel read — NO caller TOCTOU re-read. deferred already MEANS "no live wake, hook-poll only" → clean reuse.
- **cmd_send false-branch:** spool deferred-ness per the broker hint — active→`deliver::send_deferred`, idle→`deliver::send`. (W1 keeps the existing `--deferred` flag; rename→`--active-only` is W2.)
- **idle-transition drain (the WAKE):** hook in `cmd_state` idle (delivery.rs:36, spt crate) — on the `.idle` flip, re-attempt delivery of non-deferred idle-spool (spt-hosted: re-inject via brain; harness-hosted: the relay auto-surfaces non-deferred spool, so the wake is automatic there).
- doyle: "propose back if cleaner seam for #4 — otherwise build." todlando: no cleaner seam; additive reply field = the clean seam. BUILDING.

**(historical) MY READING (proposed to doyle, confirmed above):** (1) activity gate in dispatch_endpoint_input reads sentinel via spt_store::perch::resolve_idle_file — ACTIVE→spool(delivered=false) / IDLE+working-binary→inject / IDLE+no-binary→spool. i.e. v0.14.3 binary-or-spool GATED so ACTIVE always spools. For spt-hosted, relay-poll = the spool feeds api-listen/poll, so binary→relay-poll→spool collapses to binary→spool at this seam. (2) resolve_inject_methods is the api-POLL-surface concern, NOT called in the broker; the `let _methods` fix is a SEPARATE cmd_poll cleanup — UNLESS doyle wants resolve_inject_methods/is_idle MOVED to spt-store/daemon + genuinely called in the broker route. **OPEN: doyle to confirm the resolve_inject_methods disposition (separate cmd_poll cleanup vs move-and-call-in-broker).** Context long post-v0.14.3 — may checkpoint/commune before the build.

-**STATUS: W1 GROUNDED, awaiting doyle layering confirm (not yet built).**

+**STATUS: W1 PART A SPINE STARTED — compiles (cargo check -p spt-daemon EXIT0), UNCOMMITTED on disk (v0.15.0-messaging). NOT gateable yet (test sweep + caller wiring remain). Checkpointed at deep context.**

+- `msg.rs`: `EndpointInjected` gained `#[serde(default)] pub spool_deferred: bool` (the activity-gate hint: delivered=false + spool_deferred=true ⇒ caller spools DEFERRED/active; false ⇒ NON-deferred/idle-relay-wakes; N-1-safe). `endpoint_injected_envelope(endpoint, delivered, spool_deferred)` — 3rd arg added.

+- `broker.rs` `dispatch_endpoint_input`: ACTIVITY GATE — reads `spt_store::perch::resolve_idle_file(&req.endpoint, ParentHint::Infer).exists()`. Routes: `!idle`(ACTIVE)→reply(delivered=false, spool_deferred=TRUE), no inject; IDLE+working-binary→inject→reply(true,false); IDLE+no-binary→reply(false,false). None(no session)→reply(false,false). Tagged `[impl->REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES]`.

+- `msg.rs` units updated to 3-arg + renamed `endpoint_injected_envelope_carries_delivered_both_ways`→`_carries_delivered_and_spool_hint` (asserts active=deferred / idle=non-deferred / delivered / N-1 serde-default false). Tagged [unit->REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES].

+**REMAINING W1 (ordered) — NOT yet done:**

+1. **ACTIVATE `REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES` +impl** in traceable-reqs.toml (currently `["doc"]` → `["doc","impl"]`; unit/int at W4). NOT yet done — do before declaring (traceable will FAIL on the [impl->] tags I already added until activated... actually impl tags on a doc-only req = traceable error; ACTIVATE EARLY).

+2. **brain.rs `inject_endpoint`** (:1189) returns `Ok(reply.delivered)` (bool) → change to return the hint too (e.g. `EndpointInjected` or `(bool,bool)`) so the caller sees spool_deferred.

+3. **cli.rs `try_broker_inject`** (:3510, returns bool) + **`cmd_send`** (:3522): on delivered=false, spool with the broker hint — active→`deliver::send_deferred`, idle→`deliver::send`. (Keep existing `--deferred` flag; W2 renames it.)

+4. **broker.rs `run_inject_worker`** fault path (~:1099): on fault (no-commit/death + RETURN), RE-SPOOL the queued-undelivered events to the endpoint's PERCH SPOOL (`spt_store::spool::spool_message_at`, NON-deferred/idle-eligible — doyle: a faulted idle-delivery belongs back in the idle window). Needs the endpoint id + the queued envelopes in the worker (currently the worker only has event_rx of envelopes; may need to thread endpoint id into Translation/the worker). GROUND THIS — the worker may not currently know its endpoint id.

+5. **idle-transition DRAIN** (the wake): in `delivery.rs cmd_state` idle (spt crate) — on `.idle` flip, re-attempt delivery of non-deferred idle-spool (spt-hosted: re-inject via brain.inject_endpoint; harness-hosted: relay auto-surfaces). GROUND: does cmd_state have brain access?

+6. **PART B**: `delivery.rs cmd_poll` (:147) kill `let _methods` discard → relay/poll honors manifest `[inject]` idle/activity methods (use the resolved methods, not discard).

+7. **★ TEST SWEEP (BIG ripple, [[shared-seam-change-run-all-seam-tests]]):** the activity gate makes the DEFAULT (no `.idle`) route to ACTIVE→spool — so EVERY existing test that sends to a hosted binary expecting INJECTION now spools instead. MUST set `.idle` (write IDLE_SENTINEL, or `api state idle`) in: inject_control_wedge g1/g2/g3/g4/large_endpoint/p0_paste (those expecting inject), broker.rs endpoint_keyed_inject + wall_b. GREP all KIND_ENDPOINT_INPUT senders + deliver_endpoint_event/spawn_xlate_session helpers; add idle-set. Consider an idle-set in spawn_xlate_session helper. RE-RUN full `cargo nextest run -p spt-daemon` until green.

+8. **NEW W1 tests:** unit routing decision-table (injected sentinel: active→spool / idle→inject / idle-transition→drain, no wall-clock) + int (real broker+PTY nextest): active→spool-not-inject · idle→reaches-PTY-via-binary · active→idle-transition drains+delivers · fault-mid-sequence re-spools (delivered=false, not lost).

+9. GATE: full nextest -p spt-daemon + clippy --workspace 0 + traceable EXIT0 + xtask check + rebuild bin. Surface green to doyle ($OWL send doyle); he re-runs all on the real commit.

+**GROUND-FIRST NOTES for resume:** run_inject_worker may not know its endpoint id (step 4) — check Translation struct / build_translation; thread endpoint id if missing. cmd_state brain access (step 5). The `.idle` default-active ripple (step 7) is the biggest surface.

+**(historical) GROUNDING — broker reads sentinel via spt_store::perch::resolve_idle_file (crate-boundary clean); resolve_inject_methods is spt-crate. doyle confirmed.**

title = "Activity-gated inbound delivery + per-message send control as THREE ORTHOGONAL AXES plus opaque metadata (ADR-0028; grilled w/ operator 2026-06-23). SUBSTRATE (the legacy-SPT parity gap, scaffolded-but-unwired today: `delivery::is_idle` + `resolve_inject_methods` exist but the result is discarded `let _methods`, and `broker::dispatch_endpoint_input` injects unconditionally — its comment calls activity-gating 'a deferred follow wave'): an inbound message has an ACTIVE window (endpoint active → spool for the receiver's hook-poll, non-disruptive) and an IDLE window (idle/idle-transition → deliver immediately: translation binary spt-hosted → relay-poll either topology → spool, in fallback order). AXES (each composes; each defaults to its unrestricted value): (1) DELIVERY WINDOW — default (both, first-to-fire) | `--idle-only` (idle window; immediate if already idle) | `--active-only` (active window only, never wakes; the RENAMED `--deferred` — `deferred=1` spool column + `api poll --include-deferred` keep their names). (2) CHANNEL RESTRICTION — unrestricted | `--prefer-native` (translation binary if running else fall back) | `--force-native` (binary ONLY, no fallback/no spool-to-other-method). Native flags do NOT respect the binary's idle-gating: the WINDOW says when, the native flag says through-what (so `--force-native --active-only` = binary injects during the active window, mid-turn-safe via the existing InjectFloor). (3) PERSISTENCE — durable (default; spool until delivered or TTL) | `--ephemeral` (drop if undeliverable in the accepted window — at window-open with no live carrier, or at TTL, whichever first). METADATA (orthogonal): `--json-payload '<json>'` → a single attr-escaped `json=\"…\"` envelope attr ALONGSIDE (not replacing) the body, pure verbatim passthrough across spool/TCP/WAN/EVENT-PART, parsed only by the receiving adapter; collision-proof by construction (structured data lives INSIDE the one `json` value, can never forge `from`/`type`); available to ANY sender (confers no spt-core authority). HAZARD: `--ephemeral` is the ONLY path permitted to drop silently — the sender-opted-in carve-out to REQ-HAZARD-IDLE-SILENT-NONDELIVERY (that hazard gains a '…unless --ephemeral' clause in v0.15.0).

       An adapter update is live and daemon-coordinated (the adapter analog of brain self-update, ADR-0004): for an endpoint with a running RESIDENT adapter binary (today the `[message-idle-translation-binary]`), the CLI keeps fetch+verify and hands the APPLY to the daemon over IPC, which per affected endpoint (1) STOPS the resident binary -> releases the OS file lock (fixes the Windows 'Access denied (os error 5)' overwrite failure), (2) swaps on disk ONLY files whose CRC differs from the staged archive (unchanged files + their still-running binaries untouched), (3) RE-CLONES the new on-disk manifest into the running `BrainLifecycle` (the in-memory manifest is cached at bringup and otherwise goes stale -> binaries+manifest back on the same page), (4) RESTARTS the resident binary from the new files. An endpoint NOT running -> CLI swaps directly (no lock, no cache). Only the resident class is cycled; ephemeral adapter binaries (Psyche loop, `[digest]` extractor, `[session.*]` runners, hooks) self-heal on next spawn and are excluded. The daemon keeps a per-endpoint registry of resident adapter children. (ADR-0025, v0.13.2)
       A `.spt` adapter archive may pack multiple platforms in one signed asset: shared `manifest.toml` + `strings/` at the root, role binaries under per-Rust-target-triple subdirectories (ADR-0016 triple vocabulary, e.g. `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/`); install/update extracts the shared root plus ONLY `current_platform()`'s triple subdir, flattened into `install_dir` so flat `<install_dir>/<program>` resolution (REQ-INSTALL-11) is unchanged. Name stays `adapter.spt` (plain-tar or gzip, `--asset` optional default); one whole-archive Ed25519 signature over the fat archive (REQ-UPD-9 single-artifact verify). A legacy flat archive (no triple subdirs) extracts as today (free back-compat); a multi-platform archive sets `min_spt_core_version >= 0.13.2` (forward-compat gate, readable before extract); a multi-platform archive missing the recipient's triple -> typed `NoArtifactForPlatform`, never a silent no-op. Large adapters may still split per-platform (single-triple archives via `--asset`, or ADR-0016 update-set machinery). (ADR-0024, v0.13.2)
       `spt adapter translate-proof <adapter> --event <envelope> [--session <id>]` — the author-time EMIT-half proof tool for `[message-idle-translation-binary]` (ADR-0022), symmetric to `spt adapter digest-proof` (REQ-TERM-5). It spawns and feeds the adapter's declared translation binary EXACTLY as the daemon does at idle-delivery — running the REAL `spt_daemon::translation` driver VERBATIM (no protocol reimplementation): `TranslationChild::spawn` the binary, send the `{type:"init",endpoint_id,node}` line then the `{type:"event",envelope}` line, and read back the emitted `{key}`/`{text}`/`{delay_ms}`/`{commit}` keystroke-command stream — then prints it author-readable (each Key with its `key_to_bytes` rendering, Text quoted, Delay in ms, Commit marker) with counts. It fills the SAME `{id}`→option and `{session_id}`→(--session, else a placeholder) keys into the `--event` envelope the daemon fills at runtime, so an envelope that proofs here feeds faithfully live. EMIT-half ONLY: it proves the binary's spawn+feed+emit contract; it does NOT exercise the daemon's atomic PTY apply / controller-buffering (that stays covered by the W2 inject_control_wedge int gate) — `--help` says so. Exit codes mirror digest-proof: 0 ok, 1 on spawn-fail / zero commands / no-commit-or-output / unparseable, 2 when the adapter declares no `[message-idle-translation-binary]` section. The `TranslationChild` Drop does the bounded no-zombie reap. (v0.13.x)
       Peer address seeding, both cold starts: durable peer-addrs.json (identity dir) maps peer pubkey → last-known dialable address; the pump's resolver consults it FIRST with id-only discovery fallback on miss or dial failure (a stale addr never strands a peer); written by the pairing ceremony (both sides, from the live connection) and by the pump on successful connect; post-join first sync and post-restart resync converge in seconds, not ~1 min (M8 decisions 14, 20)
       Net-bind boot-race resilience: a daemon that comes up net-less (NetHost::start failed — e.g. the systemd unit autostarted before the network/DNS stack was ready, `Failed to create an address lookup service`) must SELF-HEAL — retry the net bring-up in the background with capped backoff and, on success, attach net to the broker + spawn the dispatcher/peer-pump (which today are gated on `net_up` at boot and so never start, leaving the node silently unreachable until a manual restart — kitsubito 2026-06-08). Status surfaces the net-less state honestly (a net-less broker renders as 'no connection', not only a pump-STALLED line with a bogus pre-boot heartbeat age). The installer's autostart unit waits for the network (`Wants=/After=network-online.target`) as belt-and-suspenders.
       Public CLI --help (the clap `///` doc-comments) and the generated `docs-site/src/cli/reference.md` MUST NOT contain internal tracker/decision codes — `REQ-*`, `F-###`, `M#-W#`, `ADR-####`. They are meaningless to an end user reading --help and ship to GH-Pages. A CI-gated scan (the `xtask check` docs gate) fails on any such token in the GENERATED reference.md (which by construction contains only clap help, so rustdoc `///` on fns/structs is OUT of scope and keeps its REQ/ADR cross-refs). Substance is kept; codes are rewritten to plain language. (v0.13.2 W6)
       A legitimately dead PTY child (real crash/kill) + an undrained operator pump must NOT wedge the broker for all other clients. ROOT (v0.12.0 real-harness defect): loopback attach output is a blocking write_all into a bounded 64KB tokio duplex (nethost.rs:1040,1090); when the operator's rc pump stops draining (tab closed) the buffer fills and write_all blocks forever (the 'loopback never hangs' assumption at nethost.rs:1103 is false), parking a worker in the 2-worker net runtime (nethost.rs:640); a couple of these saturate BOTH workers → every new attach / `endpoint run` stalls right after 'PUMP_IPC_READER: spawned' → 30s FIRST_EVENT_GRACE → 'no output / dead or wedged'; `daemon stop` cannot join the stuck workers. DISTINCT from the removed B1 path-(c) mutex deadlock. DISPOSITION = PROVE-DON'T-CHANGE (doyle GATE-PASS @e883f45, 2026-06-18): this ROOT is the SUPERSEDED v0.12.0 hypothesis — the post-L0 code ALREADY prevents the wedge, so NO fail-fast / worker-count code was added. serve_attach forwards fire-and-forget (net_stream_send op_id=None) and the broker-side send_stream is already BROKER-QUIC-DEADLINE-bounded (bounded_block_on, 10s); the loopback duplex is drained broker-INTERNALLY by the operator row's own read pump (RecvHalf::Loopback, retentive_cap==0 → evict-not-park) so a dead rc (a dropped IPC subscriber) never backs peer_w up; bounded_block_on parks the BROKER DISPATCH thread, not a net worker → no worker-pool exhaustion (full mechanism in the required_stages comment). Folds the status=online sub-check: a dead spt-hosted endpoint is marked OFFLINE within one reconcile tick on abrupt child death (broker exit-waiter reaps the session → B2 sees it absent) — PROVEN, no change. (v0.12.1)
       A bare brain restart leaves EXACTLY ONE `{id}-psyche` process per endpoint — no duplicate. On an abrupt brain death stop_host never runs (the LiveSet + owned child handles die with the brain) and Breap's job/group only reaps at DAEMON stop, so the PRIOR brain's Psyche stays ALIVE; the respawned brain's reconcile re-hosts a SECOND Psyche and overwrites the `{id}-psyche` perch pid, leaving the old one untracked + alive = a duplicate that lingers until daemon-stop (the operator's 'brain kill+restart wedged everything'). FIX: at brain start, BEFORE the first reconcile re-hosts, reap any pre-existing `{id}-psyche` orphan — ID-SPECIFICALLY (recycle-safe on the shared box, where sibling agents share the `claude` basename): scoped-kill the recorded pid ONLY IF it is alive AND its exe basename == the adapter's psyche program (normalize_basename) AND its COMMAND LINE contains the full psyche id `<id>-psyche` (baked via {id}); a sibling never carries THIS id, and any unreadable signal FAILS SAFE (decline to reap — a missed dup is bounded by Breap, a wrong-kill is catastrophic). CAVEAT: the cmdline carries `<id>-psyche` only when the adapter's psyche_init.command uses {id} (the norm); a non-{id} adapter safely MISSES the reap (today's behavior, Breap bounds it) — never a wrong-kill. (v0.12.0)
       The broker bounds every brain-waiting QUIC op (dial / open_stream / send_stream) so a black-holed or dead peer fails PROMPTLY with an ORDINARY error the broker REPLIES, never an unbounded await. The bound (< the brain's 30s PUMP_PEER_IO_TIMEOUT so the BROKER fires first) surfaces to the pump as a normal broker error reply → peer_outcome's non-TimedOut arm → drop conn + redial next tick, the round CONTINUES and the heartbeat keeps advancing — it must NEVER manifest as the brain's own read-deadline (the A-half poison → supervised-restart path REQ-HAZARD-PUMP-IPC-DEADLINE guards). Exactly-once is preserved: a timed-out journaled op fails INSIDE its apply_once closure so no phantom conn_id/stream_id is recorded and a fresh tick re-dials cleanly. The happy path is unchanged (a live peer completes with zero added latency; the bound only bites a non-responsive peer). This is the ROOT-cause cure for the 2.2h hfenduleam pump wedge — a dead roster peer whose QUIC path the broker awaited unbounded — recurring on hfenduleam 2026-06-16.
       A daemon-state wire-format change (e.g. the v0.9.0 adapter-agnostic Seed) does NOT take effect until a DELIBERATE full broker restart: the broker serves the seed-control channel and is RESIDENT across a brain-only self-update (ADR-0004 no-terminate-during-update forbids auto-killing it), so a NEW-version CLI talking to a still-resident OLD broker fails the seed handshake — the old broker cannot deserialize the new Seed (its formerly-required `adapter` field is gone) and drops the conn without an ack, which surfaces to the CLI as a raw UnexpectedEof 'failed to fill whole buffer'. spt-core must (a) surface an ACTIONABLE diagnostic on that seed-ack EOF (name the stale-broker cause + the `spt daemon stop` fix — the broker restarts on the next api call), never the cryptic io error; and (b) document the operational rule (a deliberate broker restart is required on any daemon-state wire change — NOT automatic) + the FORWARD discipline (daemon-state/Seed schema changes stay additive + serde-default so a resident OLD broker tolerates a NEW CLI across a brain-only update; note this would NOT have rescued 0.9.0 itself, since the old broker's `adapter` was a required field). perri PREP-4 FINDING 1 (v0.9.0 CLI vs stale 0.8.x broker).

**Checkpoint — v0.15.0 W1 PART A spine landed, pausing for context depth.**

What's done this turn (on `v0.15.0-messaging`, uncommitted, **compiling + traceable-clean**):
- Read the authoritative **V0.15.0-PLAN.md** + **ADR-0028**; got doyle's full design ruling (GO, spine confirmed)
- **PART A spine:** `EndpointInjected` gained the additive `spool_deferred` activity-gate hint (serde-default, N-1-safe); `dispatch_endpoint_input` now routes by the `.idle` sentinel (ACTIVE→spool-deferred / IDLE+binary→inject / IDLE+no-binary→spool-non-deferred); units updated
- `REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES` activated `+impl` — `cargo check` EXIT0, `traceable` EXIT0
- Communed + wrote a precise WIP resume point to memory (`v0150-w1-activity-gated-delivery.md`)

**Why I'm pausing:** W1's remainder is large — wire the hint through `inject_endpoint`→`cmd_send`, the fault re-spool, the idle-transition drain, PART B, and a **broad test sweep** (the activity gate changes the default, so every existing inject test needs `.idle` set). Doing that in an already-very-deep context (full v0.14.3 marathon + this kickoff) risks another gate-escape. The exact ordered remaining steps + ground-first notes are captured in memory; doyle has the checkpoint status.

**To resume:** fresh context, read `v0150-w1-activity-gated-delivery.md` (STATUS section = exact WIP + remaining steps) + `V0.15.0-PLAN.md` §W1. Spine is sound and reviewable now.

(Also logged a bash gotcha: backticks in `$OWL send` double-quoted bodies get command-substituted — use a single-quoted heredoc.)

doyle ACK — strong endorse the checkpoint discipline, spine confirmed no corrections, declines early peek (commit a WIP + ping only if I hit an unsure seam). One addition: **(8) also add active-path tests** (the new default→spool behavior needs its own coverage, not just `.idle`-patched inject tests). Capture that + ack:


8. **NEW W1 tests:** unit routing decision-table (injected sentinel: active→spool / idle→inject / idle-transition→drain, no wall-clock) + int (real broker+PTY nextest): active→spool-not-inject · idle→reaches-PTY-via-binary · active→idle-transition drains+delivers · fault-mid-sequence re-spools (delivered=false, not lost).

8. **NEW W1 tests** (doyle: don't JUST .idle-patch the inject tests — ADD dedicated active-path coverage for the NEW default→spool behavior): unit routing decision-table (injected sentinel: active→spool / idle→inject / idle-transition→drain, no wall-clock) + int (real broker+PTY nextest): **active→spool-NOT-inject (new default, its own test)** · idle→reaches-PTY-via-binary · active→idle-transition drains+delivers · fault-mid-sequence re-spools (delivered=false, not lost).


5. **idle-transition DRAIN** (the wake): in `delivery.rs cmd_state` idle (spt crate) — on `.idle` flip, re-attempt delivery of non-deferred idle-spool (spt-hosted: re-inject via brain.inject_endpoint; harness-hosted: relay auto-surfaces). GROUND: does cmd_state have brain access?

6. **PART B**: `delivery.rs cmd_poll` (:147) kill `let _methods` discard → relay/poll honors manifest `[inject]` idle/activity methods (use the resolved methods, not discard).

7. **★ TEST SWEEP (BIG ripple, [[shared-seam-change-run-all-seam-tests]]):** the activity gate makes the DEFAULT (no `.idle`) route to ACTIVE→spool — so EVERY existing test that sends to a hosted binary expecting INJECTION now spools instead. MUST set `.idle` (write IDLE_SENTINEL, or `api state idle`) in: inject_control_wedge g1/g2/g3/g4/large_endpoint/p0_paste (those expecting inject), broker.rs endpoint_keyed_inject + wall_b. GREP all KIND_ENDPOINT_INPUT senders + deliver_endpoint_event/spawn_xlate_session helpers; add idle-set. Consider an idle-set in spawn_xlate_session helper. RE-RUN full `cargo nextest run -p spt-daemon` until green.

**GROUND-FIRST NOTES for resume:** run_inject_worker may not know its endpoint id (step 4) — check Translation struct / build_translation; thread endpoint id if missing. cmd_state brain access (step 5). The `.idle` default-active ripple (step 7) is the biggest surface.

Ack doyle's (8) addition + confirm fresh resume


Acked. **Clean stop — checkpoint endorsed by doyle, resuming fresh next context.**

Session arc:
- **v0.14.3 raw-inject removal: SHIPPED** (`aadafe1` + `60fadd2`, GATE-PASS, released to deployah counter 33). Survived 3 gate-escapes — held doyle's bare-`cargo test` env-race false-flake with runner-contract evidence, fixed the wall_b sibling + a clippy doc-lint. Minted/ratified `REQ-HAZARD-IDLE-SILENT-NONDELIVERY`.
- **v0.15.0 W1 PART A spine: started, compiling, traceable-clean** on `v0.15.0-messaging`. Activity gate wired into `dispatch_endpoint_input` (ACTIVE→spool-deferred / IDLE+binary→inject / IDLE+no-binary→spool); `EndpointInjected` += `spool_deferred` hint; `REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES` activated `+impl`.

**Durable resume state:** `v0150-w1-activity-gated-delivery.md` holds doyle's full design ruling + the exact WIP + ordered remaining steps (2)–(9): wire the hint through `inject_endpoint`/`cmd_send`, fault re-spool (thread the endpoint id into `run_inject_worker`), idle-transition drain, PART B `cmd_poll`, the **test sweep** (set `.idle` on existing inject tests) + **dedicated active-path tests** (doyle's add), full gate. Plan in `V0.15.0-PLAN.md` §W1. Commune dropped.

doyle gates the full commit at green (declined the early peek). Nothing pending from me until the fresh resume.

# /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.
