**FIX WORKS** — `rc_saw_tick=true rc_stdout_bytes=230`, the deadlock is gone (run dropped 13s→3.5s). The failure is now the *old* Wave-1 `rc_connected` assert (line 281): `rc_connected=false` because rc now delivers the tick and exits so fast that `PUMP_IPC_READER` isn't flushed to the stderr file before we read it. That weaker proxy is fully subsumed by `rc_saw_tick=true` (you can't receive 230 bytes without connecting). Soften it to informational.

  [OK] REQ-TERM-5  required: [doc, impl, unit, int]  stages: +doc +impl +unit +int
       Adapter-declared digest extractor seam: a `[digest]` manifest section declaring an imperative extractor (native harness log -> the {role,text,tool,ts} contract; defaults to the [history] source files with an own-source escape hatch), `api digest-entry` push fallback, register-time validation of the section, adapter-declared presentation defaults (window depth, arg-truncation, sprint-collapse) that any consumer may override, and a `spt adapter digest-proof` author tool plus runtime skip-diagnostics (no silent drop). Reverses M9's no-manifest-seam stance; no declarative DSL.
  [OK] REQ-TERM-6  required: [impl, unit, int]  stages: -doc +impl +unit +int
       Thread-spanning digest across session boundaries: a per-endpoint session ledger (`<perch>/sessions.log`) appended at first bind and by `api boundary` on `/clear`|`/compact` session rotation, the digest enumerating the last K sessions so its rolling window bridges a boundary, and a distinctive in-timeline boundary marker (DigestEntry::Boundary). The digest follows the live-agent thread, not a single session.
  [OK] REQ-TERM-7  required: [impl, unit, int]  stages: -doc +impl +unit +int
       Two-origin digest merge: spt-owned context-injection entries (psyche_download | echo_mirror | owl_message) appended by spt to the endpoint `digest.log`, timestamp-interleaved with the adapter's extracted activity records into one ordered timeline, via a distinct context-injection record category. Data model only this milestone; GUI collapse/expand and the echo-reads-digest delta loop are deferred to the surfaces that consume them.

  [OK] REQ-UPD-7  required: [impl, unit]  stages: -doc +impl +unit -int
       Origin-source update bootstrap (`spt update fetch`): pull the latest signed release directly from the GitHub release origin (`SaberMage/spt-releases`) — the per-platform artifact + its `<asset>.release.json` SignedRelease metadata — and stage it through the EXISTING verify→stage pipeline (the same `plan_verified` gate: two-key signature + channel + monotonic rollback floor + SHA-256), after which the normal consent-notif / `spt update apply` flow is unchanged. Closes the peer-only-discovery gap (REQ-UPD-1): a first-in-fleet / isolated node can update with no peer to pull from. The signed-release anchor keeps the GitHub transport untrusted-but-verified.
  [OK] REQ-UPD-8  required: [impl, unit]  stages: -doc +impl +unit -int
       Platform-safe `spt update fetch` + apply platform-guard (v0.3.1 cross-OS brick fix): `spt update fetch` stages the signed multi-platform `SignedUpdateSet` (`update-set.json` + every platform artifact it names), never a platform-blind single `SignedRelease`, so local apply selects `current_platform()` and P2P re-serve lets each peer select ITS own platform. Defense-in-depth: `apply_staged` REFUSES a staged single-release artifact unless it is platform-stamped for THIS node (an unstamped pre-v0.3.2 single, or a single stamped for another OS, fail-safe refuses — the guard that alone prevents the v0.3.1 brick where a Linux ELF was applied as `spt.exe`). UX: a friendly post-apply message (`Updated spt-core to vX.Y.Z.` + changelog URL) driven by an additive `product_version` metadata field, with a release-counter fallback when absent.

Lets a harness adapter ship updates from its own GitHub releases with NO signing tooling or plugin coupling (removes the perri file_pull/delegated avenue blockers).

The one new render: the `endpoint list` SELF pin carries the Self endpoint's authored `endpoint description` (info::read_info(...).resources) when present, inline after the liveness state. whoami stays a top-level hot-path verb (parse unchanged, REQ-MSG-9).

v0.12.1 L0 keystone — fix endpoint-run attach "shows no output" (serve_attach two-conn split)

REQ-HAZARD-ENDPOINT-RUN-ATTACH-OUTPUT (the operator's central "attach shows
no output"). Root-caused on the real dummy-harness fixture: NOT a drain/ConPTY
bug — a REPLAY-vs-FORWARD IPC deadlock in serve_attach.

serve_attach RECEIVED session output (broker->serve) AND SENT its wire forwards
(serve->broker) on the SAME broker IPC connection. become_controller's
synchronous inline multi-frame ring replay holds the broker's single-threaded
per-conn handler, so it cannot read serve's forward frames -> mutual backpressure
deadlock -> operator receives 0 bytes. Triggers ONLY with a NON-EMPTY OutputLog
ring at attach = an already-producing harness = exactly endpoint-run. The
loopback E2Es only attach to an idle child (empty-ring replay) so never caught
it; cross-node shares the same single-conn multiplex (covered by construction).

FIX (Option a, doyle ruling): serve_attach forwards on a SEPARATE broker conn
from the one it receives on. send_stream is stream_id-keyed (conn-agnostic);
order preserved (one serve thread reads in seq order on conn-1, forwards in
order on conn-2); the authoritative delivered_through cursor path is untouched
(lowest-risk for a PATCH). broker_name threaded to serve_attach + dispatch/tests.

DEEPER ROOT (recorded, post-v0.12.1 follow-up = Option b): the CONTROLLER replay
is synchronous+inline while VIEWERS use the async dedicated-writer-thread +
bounded-channel pattern (add_viewer/viewer_writer); unifying the controller onto
that async path removes the inline-replay block at the source but touches the
authoritative cursor path — NOT in this PATCH.

Activated REQ-HAZARD-ENDPOINT-RUN-ATTACH-OUTPUT [impl,unit,int]:
- impl: attach.rs serve_attach two-conn split.
- unit: attach.rs loopback_attach_to_a_prepopulated_ring_delivers_without_deadlock
  (non-empty ring at attach does not wedge the forward path — the regression the
  suite lacked).
- int: dummy_harness_e2e rc_saw_tick flipped to a hard assert (LIVE
  already-producing endpoint-run harness delivers DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK; the old
  rc_connected proxy is subsumed and now informational).

Gate-green local: attach suite 13/13, dummy fixture green, clippy --workspace
-D warnings clean, traceable-reqs check EXIT=0.
