0aad7b9 v0.8.2 re-spin: resident-positive E2E + residency reason reword (gater notes 1+2)
--- clippy ---
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.62s
--- traceable ---
       `spt whoami` is a thin ALIAS for `spt endpoint list` (full output: the SELF pin + the subnet roster) — the standalone bare-id command is dropped (the `id=$(spt whoami)` capture was never a real pattern: env vars don't persist between agent tool calls). 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).
TRACEABLE_EXIT=0
--- xtask ---
xtask check: OK


clippy clean, traceable EXIT0, xtask OK. Now the two changed E2Es:

todlando — v0.8.2 RE-SPIN pushed, PR #18 @0aad7b9. Both your notes addressed; CI re-running.

NOTE 1 (reason reword, ratified): applied across all 3 spots — livehost.rs Failed-arm reason → "host not resident within 5s (psyche perch missing/dead pid)" (grace via PSYCHE_RESIDENCY_GRACE); REQ-HAZARD-LIVEHOST-NONRESIDENT title reason clause matched; nonresident E2E assertion → contains "not resident" && "within". Verified the negative E2E stamps exactly that string.

NOTE 2 (resident-positive E2E, REQUIRED): reworked livehost_bootrace_e2e — fixture now `psychebin ready <throwaway>` (LONG-LIVED: spt-copy `ready` = persistent blocking listener, still bare-token-resolved from install dir = REQ-INSTALL-11 fidelity, throwaway id namespaced off the live agent). New residency-confirm phase: waits ~13s (past 5s grace + one 5s reconcile tick) → read_pid → is_process_alive (the impl's own probe) → asserts BOTH the {id}-psyche pid STILL ALIVE (Resident) AND parent psyche_host_error None. Kills the timing race AND gives the Resident-path proof that was missing. Reaps the resident pid scoped. You were right — my timing-margin acceptance was the weaker call; the Resident path now has real coverage.

FULL GATE GREEN (re-ran on the re-spin tree): clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean · traceable EXIT0 · reworked positive E2E pass (psyche_alive=true, phe=None, 21s) · nonresident negative pass (reason = ratified string) · v0.8.1 missing-binary regression pass · livehost units (incl residency_classification) pass · xtask OK.

Over to you to re-gate. deployah ships v0.8.2 (counter 18) → you ping perri. I'll watch CI + report.

Edit

NEXT after re-spin: my full gate (clippy/traceable/docs-drift/units/BOTH E2Es) → push → ping doyle re-gate → deployah ships v0.8.2 (counter 18) → doyle pings perri.

**RE-SPIN DONE + PUSHED @0aad7b9 (PR #18), pinged doyle re-gate.** Agent aac341f2 did both: Note1 reason reword across livehost.rs (Failed reason="host not resident within 5s (psyche perch missing/dead pid)") + title + nonresident-E2E assertion; Note2 positive E2E reworked → fixture `psychebin ready <throwaway>` (spt-copy `ready`=persistent blocking listener, bare-token install-dir resolved, namespaced id), residency-confirm phase waits ~13s (grace 5s + 1 tick) → read_pid→is_process_alive asserts pid ALIVE (Resident) + phe None. I verified the residency phase + re-ran FULL gate green (clippy clean, traceable EXIT0, reworked positive pass psyche_alive=true/phe=None/21s, nonresident pass reason=ratified, v0.8.1 regression pass, units pass, xtask OK). Watching re-spin CI. NEXT: doyle re-gates + CI → deployah ships v0.8.2 (counter 18) → doyle pings perri.

**v0.8.2 templating+residency** — doyle delegation (operator-directed), I own W/T + execution, doyle gates + drives release. NON-blocking quality fixes (perri UNBLOCKED on v0.8.1, parity proof passed — no rush, do it right). Branch `v0.8.2-templating-residency` off main (v0.8.1), base @3cd5e6f. Two REQs minted required_stages=[] (titles = full spec); I activate [impl,unit,int] per wave, same-commit tags. Sibling of [[v081-livehost-bootrace]]. doyle drove v0.8.1 publish (counter 17).

**REQ 1 — REQ-HAZARD-TEMPLATE-ARGV-FILL (F-009):** runtime.rs `fill_template`(:94) fills {key} INTO the command STRING then `tokenize`(:122) whitespace-splits → a multi-word {key} value becomes MULTIPLE argv tokens (+ a `"`/`;` value injects/breaks tokenization). FIX = tokenize the TEMPLATE into argv FIRST, then `fill_template` EACH token → a filled value is ALWAYS exactly ONE argv element (no whitespace-split, no quote/semicolon injection). PRESERVE: missing-key / empty-command errors + `{{`/`}}` non-interp + the install-dir program resolution (resolve_program_in_dir on the program token still works). Update spawn_session/run_bounded callers (currently fill-then-tokenize). Applies to ALL [session.<role>] templates (psyche_init, extractor, notif…); digest only dodges today via single-token fills ({session_id}/{source}). UNIT: multi-word fill = 1 argv element; embedded quote/semicolon value stays 1 element (no injection); errors preserved. perri repro: `--prompt {psyche_prompt}` w/ "PSYCHE REVIVAL time: epoch-ms:… incoming event: (none)" → argv[6..12] = 7 stray tokens → harness strict-parse `--prompt`=2nd word → exit 2 ~1s → phantom hosted perch.

**REQ 2 — REQ-HAZARD-LIVEHOST-NONRESIDENT (F-010):** closes the residual masking v0.8.1 left. host_one (livehost.rs) stamps psyche_host_error ONLY on spawn_psyche Err — NOT when detached spawn() returns Ok but the child dies in ~1s (perri's exit-2, the F-009 consequence). Result: nested {id}-psyche/info.json written status=online with a real-but-DEAD pid; PARENT perch has NO psyche_host_error (perri: tasklist 0 host procs while info.json reads online). FIX = RESIDENCY-CONFIRM: a hosted child not alive (or whose {id}-psyche perch never re-registers / has a dead pid) within N sec of spawn → host failure → stamp PARENT psyche_host_error{reason:"host exited <code> within <n>s"} + do NOT leave a phantom online nested perch (clean it). int = real-daemon early-exit E2E (extend livehost_psyche_fail_e2e infra: a psyche binary that exits 2 fast → parent stamped, no phantom online).
DESIGN STEER: integrate the residency check into the existing 5s reconcile loop (it already iterates perches + has stop-side logic) — non-blocking; don't block the sweep with a long wait. spawn_psyche detaches (fire-and-forget, handle dropped, liveness via the {id}-psyche perch), so residency = the {id}-psyche perch alive within N sec, checked on a subsequent tick. host_one knows the spawned pid (h.pid).

**MINOR (investigate, do NOT scope-creep the release):** perri saw peer-pump STALL ~7-8min after every daemon start (last-tick 455s/520s, did NOT block hosting). Likely REQ-DAEMON-9 / brain-loop [truncated at msg part 8/10 — owl cap; doyle's tail = gate criteria I know + this MINOR]. → investigate, log/defer, don't block v0.8.2.

**PLAN:** delegate the build (both REQs, one agent, full budget — my context deep). FINALIZE (on me): activate both REQs [impl,unit,int] (agent does, I verify); FOLD the PENDING FLAKE-LEDGER entry into this PR (doyle: rider on next natural change — v0.8.2 IS it): docs/FLAKE-LEDGER.md += kitsubito "Build notify-shell" crates.io curl/dep-download blip → `gh run rerun --failed` clears (run 27652755792, v0.8.1 PR #17). Then FULL gate (clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings, traceable EXIT0, the E2Es, docs-drift xtask check) → push + PR → ping doyle PR-ready → doyle gates → deployah ships v0.8.2 (counter 18) → doyle pings perri.

**DESIGN RULING (F-010 residency, build-agent asked):** the v0.8.1 positive E2E fixture (`psychebin --version`, exit-0-FAST) would be marked non-resident by residency=live-pid → break its `phe.is_none()` assert. RULED **(A): change the positive fixture to a LONG-LIVED psyche** (sleeps, killed at teardown) — a real Psyche companion IS long-lived (CONTEXT: owns its perch, communes, exits at session-end); `--version` was an unrealistic stand-in. residency=live-pid is the right production invariant; (A) preserves+improves v0.8.1 coverage (touch fixture, not asserts). **REJECTED (B)** (un-detach to reap exit code) — crosses the detached/fire-and-forget seam; liveness is daemon-authoritative VIA THE PERCH not the child handle ([[gate-against-documented-design]] — don't let impl contradict locked design). EXIT-CODE CAVEAT: exact `<code>` UNOBTAINABLE across the detach seam (handle dropped, OS reaps) → reason is residency-based "host not resident within <n>s (pid dead)", NOT the literal code in the title — FLAG to doyle at PR-ready (he owns the title; non-blocking). N grace ≈ 5s (one reconcile tick). On non-residency: stamp PARENT + CLEAN phantom nested {id}-psyche perch + un-host; PARENT status=online stays authoritative. E2E = 3 cases (positive long-lived / negative-missing-binary / negative-early-exit-2).

**PR-READY @3a5364f → PR #18 (base main), pinged doyle.** Build by subagent (1c05a4d: F-009 fill_template_tokens + F-010 residency/classify_residency/cooldown/clear-on-Resident-arm; agent resolved the F-010-vs-positive-regression conflict via timing-margin NOT fixture-change — positive test reads phe AFTER killing brain ~1-2s post-host, brain dead before the 5s grace, so a false-Failed needs the --version psyche to take >=5s to spawn+register = extreme → low flake risk; my long-lived-fixture hardening steer arrived after it finished, didn't take — I ACCEPTED timing-margin on review after the brain-killed-before-grace analysis, flagged to doyle as his call).

Ack doyle's re-gate-next-session heads-up


Acked. **Standing down — clean handoff.**

doyle re-gates v0.8.2 (@0aad7b9) at the top of next session → deployah ships (counter 18) → doyle pings perri. My only remaining duty: the CI watch (run 27658258329) — if it reds on the kitsubito notify-shell curl flake (FLAKE-LEDGER #8), I `gh run rerun --failed` + flag; a real failure I diagnose.

**This session's full arc:**
1. HOW_TO_LIVE topic (PR #16) — closed perri's F-007.
2. v0.8.0 unified merge reconciliation (daemon-host psyche + Feature B reapply) — shipped.
3. v0.8.1 livehost boot-race — runtime root-cause (refuted the net-race via real-daemon repro), harness-reachable `psyche_host_error` fix — shipped (counter 17).
4. v0.8.2 (PR #18) — F-009 argv-element template fill + F-010 Psyche residency-confirm — re-spun for the Resident-path E2E + reason reword, gate-ready for doyle's next-session re-gate.

Holding for the CI watch.

**completed/FAILURE** — but this is the **Windows (hfenduleam) `test`** job, NOT the kitsubito notify-shell curl flake (kitsubito test passed). A completed failure = real (not mid-flight). doyle's "rerun the curl flake" doesn't apply — this needs diagnosis. My re-spin reworked the positive E2E (long-lived `ready` fixture + ~13s residency wait); it passed locally on this box, but failed in the hfenduleam CI context. Reading the actual failure:

Root cause found — and it's **mine** (the v0.8.2 change broke a sibling test the targeted preflight didn't run). The failing test is `daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs:111` (the M11-W0.4 real-brain int), NOT my reworked test. The log shows the smoking gun: `LIVEHOST_PSYCHE:agent9` → `LIVEHOST_PSYCHE_NONRESIDENT: host not resident within 5s` → re-host → non-resident → re-host (a respawn loop). That test uses a **NOOP fast-exit psyche** (`cmd /C rem`/`true`), which v0.8.2's F-010 residency check now correctly classifies non-resident → de-onlines the phantom → breaks the test's "perch appears + stays" assertion. It runs the *continuous* real-brain reconcile (unlike the single-`reconcile_once` tests, which stay in Pending), so it's the one F-010 hits.

My local/agent gate ran only targeted E2Es — missed this spt-daemon sibling (the test-analog of the workspace-clippy lesson). Reading the test to fix it (long-lived psyche, like the reworked bootrace):

    }

    // The run_brain + serve threads are detached — they die with the test process.
}


Root cause confirmed: line 111 asserts the brain's **pulse loop ingests a commune** within 25s — but F-010 finds the NOOP psyche (`cmd /C rem`, exits instantly) non-resident → un-hosts → tears down the pulse driver (the respawn loop in the log) → commune never ingested. This is the only continuous-real-brain test using a fast-exit psyche that I missed (the single-`reconcile_once` tests stay in Pending, safe). Fix = long-lived psyche, like the reworked bootrace test.

Before fixing, grep to confirm no *other* continuous-real-brain test uses a fast-exit psyche (don't want a third miss):


<owl_messages>
<owl_message from="doyle" priority="high">GATE — v0.8.2 re-spin @0aad7b9: CONDITIONAL FAIL. One real fix needed (NOT a rerun flake).

CODE-READ PASS: reworked livehost_bootrace_e2e is correct — long-lived `psychebin ready <throwaway>` fixture (bare-token install-dir resolved, REQ-INSTALL-11 fidelity), waits 13s past grace+tick, is_process_alive probe, asserts Resident + phe None. Resident-path now genuinely covered, no race.

CI RED — Windows test (nextest): 1 failed / 1112. Failure = daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs:111 (the COMMUNE-INGEST assert, not the psyche-host step which passed). NOT your new test, NOT the notify-shell crates.io flake.

ROOT CAUSE — F-010 regression you missed in the SIBLING test. daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs still uses the NOOP fast-exit psyche (cmd /C rem / true). Post-F-010 a fast-exit psyche IS a Failed host: confirm_residency_or_unhost fires ~10s in (5s grace + one reconcile tick), classify_residency=Failed -> set.stop_host("agent9") un-hosts the driver -> the pulse loop that ingests communes stops -> the commune drop never lands in the live context tier -> line 111 times out at 25s. Linux (`true`) won the ingest-vs-teardown race and passed; Windows lost it and failed = a cross-platform race now baked into that test. Your bootrace doc comment even NAMES this test as the noop-fast-exit one — same root cause, sibling just wasn't updated.

FIX — apply the SAME long-lived resident fixture you put in bootrace. Swap the NOOP const for a blocking psyche (copy the real spt -> bare `psychebin ready <throwaway-id>`, install-dir resolved, needs only SPT_HOME) so residency stays Resident, the host is never torn down, and the commune ingest is deterministic on BOTH runners. Reap the resident psyche pid in teardown (scoped, never machine-wide).

Re-run full local gate (clippy -D, traceable, BOTH real-daemon E2Es + this daemon_lifecycle one), push, I re-gate. Do NOT `gh run rerun` — this is correctness, not the crates.io flake.</owl_message>

doyle independently diagnosed the **same** root cause I just found, and confirms the fix: long-lived resident psyche in `daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs` + scoped reap; do NOT rerun (correctness). My grep used a bad glob — let me re-grep properly to confirm scope while acking doyle:


Bash

cat <<'EOF' | "$OWL" send doyle
todlando — ACK, and I'd independently diagnosed the identical root cause before your msg landed (daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs:111 commune-ingest assert; F-010 confirm_residency_or_unhost classifies the NOOP fast-exit psyche Failed → stop_host tears down the pulse driver → commune never ingested; Linux won the race, Windows lost). My bad — the targeted preflight ran the livehost E2Es but not this spt-daemon sibling; the test-analog of the workspace-clippy lesson. Fixing now: long-lived resident psyche + scoped pid reap. NOT rerunning. One note coming on the fixture mechanism (spt-daemon tests may lack CARGO_BIN_EXE_spt for the psychebin-copy → I'll confirm; if so I use a shell-level indefinite blocker for the same Resident outcome). Will re-run the FULL local gate incl this test + both E2Es, push, ping you to re-gate.

Critical confirm: the daemon's `spawn_psyche` writes the `{id}-psyche` perch + child pid (the NOOP child never bound a perch itself) — so a dumb long-lived blocker keeps the host **Resident** (pid alive) → pulse driver stays up → commune ingests. And CI ran all 1112 tests: **only this one failed**, so it's the sole breakage (the other psyche-fixture tests use direct `BrainLifecycle`/single `reconcile_once`, not the continuous loop — empirically green). spt-daemon tests lack `CARGO_BIN_EXE_spt`, so a shell-level blocker (not `psychebin`) is the right fixture here.

Applying the fix — long-lived psyche const + manifest ref + scoped reap:

<owl_messages>
<owl_message from="doyle" priority="high">ACK. Same root cause, agreed. Shell-level indefinite blocker = correct call: spt-daemon tests have NO CARGO_BIN_EXE_spt (it's only injected for the spt crate's own integ targets), so the psychebin-copy trick won't port here.

Gate note so you don't over-build: daemon_lifecycle_real_brain does NOT need REQ-INSTALL-11 install-dir-resolution fidelity — that's the bootrace test's job. This one only needs a RESIDENT psyche. A plain shell blocker is fine: cross-platform, indefinite, reaped scoped in teardown. Just make it outlive grace+tick AND the 25s ingest deadline (pick a big duration, e.g. cmd /C "ping -n 99999 127.0.0.1 >NUL" / sleep 99999, or any indefinite recv) and reap its pid in teardown. Don't reintroduce a fast-exit anywhere.

Push when the full local gate is green (this test + both E2Es + clippy -D + traceable). I re-gate on CI green both runners.</owl_message>

doyle (high-priority) acked: confirms shell-level indefinite blocker is correct, no install-dir fidelity needed here, reap scoped, don't over-build. My earlier edit missed on exact text (now have it). Acking + applying:


Bash

cat <<'EOF' | "$OWL" send doyle
todlando — ACK. Aligned: plain shell indefinite blocker (no install-dir fidelity — that's bootrace's job), reaped scoped in teardown, outlives grace+tick AND the 25s ingest deadline. Using `ping -n 99999 127.0.0.1` (win) / `sleep 99999` (unix) per your suggestion (psyche stdio is null so no console spam, no redirect needed). The daemon writes the <id>-psyche perch + child pid, so a dumb blocker stays Resident → pulse driver lives → commune ingests. CI already confirmed it's the SOLE breakage (1 failed/1112), so this one fix closes it. Applying now → full local gate (this test + both E2Es + clippy -D + traceable) → push.

       `spt whoami` is a thin ALIAS for `spt endpoint list` (full output: the SELF pin + the subnet roster) — the standalone bare-id command is dropped (the `id=$(spt whoami)` capture was never a real pattern: env vars don't persist between agent tool calls). 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).

git add crates/spt-daemon/tests/daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs; git commit -m @'
v0.8.2 fix: daemon_lifecycle_real_brain resident psyche (F-010 sibling regression)

The v0.8.2 F-010 residency check (REQ-HAZARD-LIVEHOST-NONRESIDENT) regressed this
M11-W0.4 real-brain int: it used a NOOP fast-exit psyche (cmd /C rem / true), which
post-F-010 is a FAILED host — confirm_residency_or_unhost fires ~grace+one-tick in,
classify_residency=Failed → stop_host tears down the pulse driver → the commune drop
never lands in the live context tier → the line-111 ingest assert times out at 25s.
Linux won the ingest-vs-teardown race and passed; Windows lost it (CI red, 1/1112).

Fix: swap the fast-exit NOOP for a LONG-LIVED resident psyche (ping -n 99999 /
sleep 99999) so the host stays Resident, the pulse loop keeps ticking, and the
commune ingest is deterministic on BOTH runners; reap the psyche pid in teardown
(scoped to its own pid from the nested perch, never machine-wide). No install-dir
fidelity needed here (that is the bootrace test's job). Sole breakage per CI
(1 failed/1112); the single-reconcile_once tests stay in Pending and were unaffected.

todlando — F-010 sibling regression FIXED + pushed. PR #18 @3547a17. CI re-running.

FIX: daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs NOOP fast-exit psyche → long-lived resident (`ping -n 99999 127.0.0.1` win / `sleep 99999` unix); reap the psyche pid in teardown (scoped, read from the nested perch — never machine-wide). Host stays Resident → pulse driver lives → commune ingest deterministic on BOTH runners. No install-dir machinery (that's bootrace's job, per your note).

FULL LOCAL GATE GREEN: clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean · traceable EXIT0 · daemon_lifecycle_real_brain PASS (6.2s — was the failure) · livehost_bootrace_e2e PASS · livehost_nonresident_e2e PASS. CI confirmed this was the sole breakage (1/1112), so this closes it.

NOT rerunning anything — this is the correctness fix. Over to you to re-gate on CI green both runners → deployah ships v0.8.2 (counter 18) → perri. I'll watch CI + flag.

RE-SPIN CI (@0aad7b9) RED on Windows: daemon_lifecycle_real_brain.rs:111 (1 failed/1112) — F-010 SIBLING REGRESSION I missed. That M11-W0.4 real-brain int used a NOOP fast-exit psyche (cmd /C rem / true) + runs the CONTINUOUS real-brain reconcile; post-F-010 confirm_residency_or_unhost classifies it Failed ~grace+tick → stop_host tears down the pulse driver → the commune-ingest assert (line 111) times out. Linux won the ingest-vs-teardown race + passed, Windows lost → cross-platform race. doyle + I independently diagnosed identical. **FIX @3547a17:** swap NOOP → long-lived resident (`ping -n 99999 127.0.0.1` / `sleep 99999`) so host stays Resident → pulse loop lives → commune ingests deterministically BOTH runners; reap psyche pid scoped (read_pid from nested perch). spt-daemon tests have NO CARGO_BIN_EXE_spt so a shell blocker (not psychebin) is right; no install-dir fidelity needed here (bootrace's job). CI confirmed SOLE breakage (1/1112) → single fix closes it. Local gate green (clippy/traceable/daemon_lifecycle_real_brain 6.2s/both E2Es). **LESSON: targeted preflight (livehost E2Es only) missed a spt-daemon SIBLING test running the same continuous reconcile — the test-analog of [[ci-clippy-preflight-workspace]]. When a behavior change touches a shared seam (residency in reconcile), grep ALL tests exercising that seam (run_brain/spawn_live_host/real daemon) + run them, not just the new ones.** Watching fix CI (run 27658850682). NEXT: doyle re-gates on CI green both runners → deployah ships v0.8.2 (counter 18) → doyle pings perri.
