**v0.12.1 LIFECYCLE REOPEN (doyle dispatch ~2026-06-18).** v0.12.0 SHIPPED (counter 25) but real-harness testing (operator, claude-spt, Windows) showed the lifecycle fixes DON'T deliver in the real daemon+broker+PTY path — we gated on MOCKS + in-proc `reconcile_once` (green tests, broken reality). Branch **v0.12.1-lifecycle** off main@5f9ea23. Authoritative plan = **V0.12.1-LIFECYCLE-JIT.md ON THE BRANCH**. REQs minted registry-first (traceable-reqs.toml). PATCH release. todlando executes, doyle gates per-wave (independently re-runs each gate vs REAL dummy-harness + REAL detached daemon — NOT mock, NOT in-proc reconcile), deployah releases.

**BINDING META-FIX:** every lifecycle gate runs vs the real dummy-harness fixture + a real detached daemon. That gap = why v0.12.0 escaped.

**WAVE ORDER:** 1=dummy-harness fixture (unblocks all) · 2=lifecycle core (keystone REQ-HAZARD-VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH + REQ-HAZARD-ATTACH-WEDGE + status-online-within-tick + daemon-stop-ends-all) · 3=picker P1/P2 (investigate root FIRST, report before fixing) · 4=REQ-ENDPOINT-LIST-MERGE-LOCAL (drop --local, bare list merges local, fix whoami; xtask gen DEFAULT target).

**WAVE 2 KEYSTONE detail:** REQ-HAZARD-VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH = add CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB to BOTH daemon spawn paths (daemon.rs:707 detached_no_inherit + deelevate.rs:519 elevated) + pin each broker-spawned harness into a DAEMON-OWNED Job Object (mirror reap.rs/Breap) as backstop; pty.rs UNCHANGED (ConPTY isolation already correct). REQ-HAZARD-ATTACH-WEDGE = loopback attach output is a blocking write_all into a bounded 64KB tokio duplex (nethost.rs:1040,1090); dead operator (closed tab) stops draining → write_all blocks forever → parks a worker in the 2-WORKER net runtime (nethost.rs:640) → both saturate → every new attach stalls. FIX: loopback sends FAIL-FAST (full-buffer/BrokenPipe = ordinary per-stream err ENDS serve_attach). Folds status=online (dead endpoint offlined within one reconcile tick on abrupt child death — confirm broker session reaps so B2 sees it absent).

**doyle real-harness REPRO DATA (fold into Wave 2 gates):** (1) UNHOST-PSYCHE-REAP fails in real harness too — a DEAD endpoint left its {id}-psyche HARNESS PROCESS alive holding perch files → `endpoint purge --force` STOPPED fine but FAILED tree-remove (os error 32 file-in-use) until the psyche was scope-killed. Gate: a died/stopped spt-hosted harness must get its {id}-psyche REAPED. (2) Control-plane responsive (purge --force STOP instant on all 3) — only DATA-plane (2-worker loopback attach) wedged = confirms ATTACH-WEDGE root. (3) `ensure_running` respawns a fresh daemon the moment ANY CLI command finds none → daemon-stop gate must assert down-for-a-bounded-window WITHOUT a racing CLI call.

**WAVE 1 PROGRESS (todlando, on-branch UNCOMMITTED):** built (a) `mock-session --mode dummy` (adapters/mock/src/main.rs): binds perch (api bind) → prints DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK heartbeat on interval → stays alive til killed (the default mock EXITS immediately = why v0.12.0 never caught the lifecycle defects). (b) crates/spt/tests/dummy_harness_e2e.rs: real `spt daemon run` → `endpoint run --start` dummy → assert online + alive + rc attach. **PROVEN GREEN: online=true, harness pid stays ALIVE, psyche hosted.** Fixture findings (load-bearing, baked into the test): (i) the dummy MUST declare [session.psyche_init] (long-lived psyche `psychebin ready {id}`, mirror brain_restart_psyche_dup) — else cmd_bind never marks online (startup.rs:464 gates status=online on `live_agent && manifest.psyche_init.is_some()`); (ii) test MUST be NET-ENABLED (real node identity — do NOT write a corrupt netless node.key) because rc attach rides a broker-minted LOOPBACK-over-net conn (net-less broker refuses: "net disabled: bound without a network host"); (iii) rc child needs stdin HELD OPEN (Stdio::piped + hold handle) or its pump EOF-detaches instantly. **OPEN BLOCKER (awaiting doyle ruling):** with all 3 fixes, `spt rc <id>` ATTACHES cleanly (PUMP_IPC_READER spawned, no RC_FAIL, holds full 10s) but receives ZERO DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK output — broker not fanning the harness PTY stdout to the attach. Asked doyle: is this the ATTACH-WEDGE data-plane defect surfacing (→ Wave 1 asserts only bringup + attach-CONNECTS, output-flow = Wave 2 ATTACH gate) OR a real "broker doesn't drain PTY into OutputLog for endpoint-run sessions" bug to root now? My lean: Wave 1 = bringup + attach-connects; output-flow is Wave 2's subject. **ON RESUME: read doyle's ruling; if 'connect-only' relax the rc assertion (assert no RC_FAIL + stays attached, drop the tick-capture) → Wave 1 green → seam bar (clippy --workspace, traceable, the new test) → commit → ping doyle → Wave 2 keystone.**

**SEAM BAR (real-harness, every wave):** clippy --workspace -D warnings + traceable EXIT=0 + the REAL dummy-harness E2E (serial, target-seam, net-ENABLED). Gotchas carried from v0.12.0: pre-build `cargo build -p mock-adapter --bin mock-session` (helper bin in mock-adapter PKG, not spt) before any spt --test using it; NO `jq` in this Git Bash (use `gh --jq`); spt has NO lib (`--bin spt` for cli unit tests); xtask gen reads hardcoded target/debug (run in DEFAULT target not target-seam); SERIAL cargo only on HFENDULEAM (shared CI runner — never machine-wide kill, scope pid reaps).

Skill

Resume v0.12.1 Wave 1 (dummy-harness fixture). Read doyle's reply re: the rc-attach-output question (rc attaches clean but receives no DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK — Wave1 connect-only vs root-now). Wave 1 bringup is PROVEN GREEN (online+alive+psyche), code UNCOMMITTED on branch v0.12.1-lifecycle (mock-session --mode dummy + crates/spt/tests/dummy_harness_e2e.rs). Per doyle's ruling: if connect-only, relax the rc assertion (no RC_FAIL + stays attached, drop tick-capture) → seam bar (pre-build mock-adapter mock-session; clippy --workspace + traceable + dummy E2E serial/target-seam/NET-ENABLED) → commit → ping doyle SEAM-GREEN → Wave 2 keystone (VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH breakaway+Job + ATTACH-WEDGE loopback fail-fast). Full state in memory v0121-lifecycle-realharness.md + commune. Check $OWL list — do NOT touch the poll listener.


<owl_messages>
<owl_message from="doyle" priority="high">RULING on the Wave 1 open question.

First: COMMIT the Wave 1 fixture before you self-clear (dummy mode + dummy_harness_e2e.rs) with the three fixture findings in the commit body (psyche_init-gates-online; net-enabled required; rc stdin held). Don't lose proven work to the wipe.

On "clean attach to a LIVE harness gets ZERO output": do NOT paper this over with an attach-CONNECTS-only assertion. Zero output on a fresh attach to a live, heartbeating harness is almost certainly the OPERATOR'S CORE "attach shows no output / dead-or-wedged" symptom — reproduced WITHOUT any death or wedge. That means the operator's complaint may not be (only) death; it may be that endpoint-run harness output never reaches the attach at all. Too central to defer loosely.

But disambiguate fixture-artifact vs product-bug FIRST, in this order:
1. ATTACH TARGET CHECK (most likely artifact): the rc attach shows the [session.self] (the broker-PTY child), NOT the psyche. Make sure your DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK is emitted by the [session.self] command (the broker PTY child = the attach target), with an explicit flush after each line. If you put the ticks in psyche_init, the attach would correctly show nothing (the psyche is daemon-hosted, not the attached PTY). Fix the fixture so SELF ticks+flushes, re-test.
2. KNOWN-GOOD COMPARISON: confirm a `spt rc` to an `api listen` session (or the existing attach.rs E2E harness) DOES deliver output through the same broker — proving the fan/drain works in general.
3. If SELF ticks+flushes AND listen-attach delivers BUT endpoint-run attach still gets zero → it's a REAL endpoint-run-specific bug: the broker doesn't drain the endpoint-run harness PTY into the OutputLog / doesn't fan it to the attach. That is a likely THIRD root cause (alongside VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH + ATTACH-WEDGE) and the direct cause of the operator's no-output. Root-cause it (reader.rs drain thread + OutputLog fan for SpawnReq sessions; check the Windows reader-park KH 7.6 angle) and PING me — I'll mint a REQ-HAZARD for it.

Scope: Wave 1 = committed fixture + bringup-PROVEN + attach-CONNECTS. The output-delivery question is the IMMEDIATE Wave 2 lead (do it before the breakaway/wedge fixes if it turns out real — it may be THE bug). Commune your full state; resume on this ruling. Ping me which of 1/2/3 it lands on.</owl_message>

Launching skill: self-clear


Base directory for this skill: C:\Users\decid\.ccs\instances\bigscreen\skills\self-clear

# /self-clear

Wipes THIS agent's conversation (`/clear`), then ~200ms later TYPES a self-note
as a fresh user prompt so the agent wakes on a clean context and proceeds.

## Run it

One script does everything. Just run:

```powershell
& "C:\Users\decid\.claude\skills\self-clear\scripts\self-clear.ps1"
```

Expect: `SELF-CLEAR armed: id=<agent_id> winpid=<n> hwnd=<n> — /clear queued; self-note typed in ~200ms`

Then stop — end your turn promptly so the queued `/clear` fires.

## What the script does

1. `owl whoami` → resolves this session's `agent_id` (context-independent, survives the wipe). No perch → it aborts WITHOUT clearing and tells you to `/spt:ready` or `/spt:live` first.
2. Walks the parent chain (`pwsh → claude.exe → … → WindowsTerminal`) to the ancestor **pid that owns a visible top-level window** (enumerated by owner pid — not the program's default "main window", which is wrong when a host serves several windows). Since each WT window is its own process, that pid uniquely identifies this session's window. **Reliably focuses it** via `AttachThreadInput` (a background process can't otherwise hold the foreground) and **hard-verifies it genuinely holds the foreground** — aborts WITHOUT clearing and WITHOUT sending any keys if it can't.
3. Re-verifies foreground with **zero gap**, then types `/clear{ENTER}` in one SendKeys — **queued**; only fires when this turn ends.
4. Spawns a **detached** waker: waits 200ms (past turn-end + wipe), reliably re-focuses the captured `hwnd`, and — **only if that exact HWND genuinely holds the foreground** — **types** `Proceed with next steps` + Enter as a fresh user prompt. Otherwise it aborts the SendKeys (HWND identity is the guard; no title-match — Claude Code's terminal title animates and changes across `/clear`).

Why this matters: `SendKeys` hits whatever window is foreground *at send time*. The fix attaches our input queue to the foreground thread so the focus steal actually holds, confirms the target is truly foreground, and aborts rather than type blind — so the note can never leak into the window you're working in.

The delay + detachment are deliberate: the prompt must be typed **after**
`/clear` takes effect, so it lands on the clean context and starts a new turn.

Why typed, not `owl send`: after `/clear` the session sits idle awaiting user
input. A spooled owl message can't self-start a turn — it surfaces only during an
already-active turn (PreToolUse hook) or in a live Monitor stream (whose buffer
`/clear` wipes). So a self-addressed owl note never woke the agent. A typed prompt
deterministically starts a turn AND is the re-seed.

## Caveats

- Focus targets the window owned by this session's ancestor pid (enumerated by owner pid). It still can't pick a specific tab when one window hosts multiple tabs; clean when the agent's tab is active.
- The waker types only when our exact window is foreground. If you switch to a different window/tab during the ~200ms gap, the wake-note SendKeys is aborted (the agent stays cleared but unwoken) — stay in the agent window for the wake.
- The note is typed via SendKeys, so the terminal must stay the foreground-able window of `winpid`. Don't close/replace the terminal in the gap.
- SendKeys reserves `+ ^ % ~ ( ) { } [ ]`; the default note text uses none. If you customize the note, escape those chars.
- The waker waits only ~200ms after the script returns, so stop promptly — if your turn runs longer, the prompt could be typed before the wipe completes.

ARGUMENTS: Resume v0.12.1 Wave 1 (dummy-harness fixture). Read doyle's reply re: the rc-attach-output question (rc attaches clean but receives no DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK — Wave1 connect-only vs root-now). Wave 1 bringup is PROVEN GREEN (online+alive+psyche), code UNCOMMITTED on branch v0.12.1-lifecycle (mock-session --mode dummy + crates/spt/tests/dummy_harness_e2e.rs). Per doyle's ruling: if connect-only, relax the rc assertion (no RC_FAIL + stays attached, drop tick-capture) → seam bar (pre-build mock-adapter mock-session; clippy --workspace + traceable + dummy E2E serial/target-seam/NET-ENABLED) → commit → ping doyle SEAM-GREEN → Wave 2 keystone (VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH breakaway+Job + ATTACH-WEDGE loopback fail-fast). Full state in memory v0121-lifecycle-realharness.md + commune. Check $OWL list — do NOT touch the poll listener.


doyle's ruling landed mid-self-clear (I had NOT yet run the arm-script — clear is NOT armed, safe to abort the wipe). Ruling overrides: **commit Wave 1 first**, and do NOT paper over zero-output — it's likely the operator's CORE "attach shows no output" symptom reproduced without death/wedge. Disambiguate 1/2/3 first. Aborting self-clear, handling doyle's directive.

ACK + relax the test to bringup+connect (green), capture full rc output for the investigation.

ACK ruling — aborting the self-clear (clear was NOT yet armed). Doing in order: (1) commit Wave 1 fixture green at bringup+attach-CONNECTS with the 3 findings in the body; (2) disambiguate the zero-output: my DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK IS emitted by [session.self] (--mode dummy = the broker PTY child = attach target) with flush — so it's not the psyche-target artifact; capturing FULL rc stdout to see zero-vs-some; then known-good check (rc→listen/attach.rs delivers); if self-ticks+flush AND listen delivers but endpoint-run attach=zero → REAL endpoint-run drain/fan bug (reader.rs + OutputLog fan for SpawnReq, KH7.6 Win reader-park). Will ping you which of 1/2/3. Not papering over.

Wave 1 test **PASSES** (bringup + attach-CONNECTS green). Investigation data: rc attached, received **0 bytes** — zero output, not "wrong output." Confirms it's not the psyche-target artifact (1); ticks are from `[session.self]`, flushed. Strongly pointing at (3) endpoint-run-specific drain/fan bug. Fix the diagnostic arg-order (cosmetic, mismatched), then clippy+traceable+commit, then (2) known-good check.

`attach.rs` confirms the **known-good (2)**: `local_attach_via_loopback_conn_rides_the_same_pump` + `broker_spawns_the_pty_child_in_the_requested_cwd` prove the broker DOES drain+fan a `spawn_session` PTY child's output to a loopback attach. My endpoint-run path gets 0 bytes. → It's **(3)**: endpoint-run-specific. Sharpen the root: compare `spawn_session` (attach.rs, works) vs `spawn_session_pid` (endpoint-run path) — does the pid variant wire the PTY reader/OutputLog drain?

Both spawn paths use `KIND_SPAWN → dispatch_spawn` → same drain wiring. So the drain IS started for endpoint-run too — narrowing (3) to: either the dummy's stdio isn't the PTY under `spawn_session_pid`'s SpawnReq, or `spt rc`'s resolve/subscribe for an endpoint-run session is off, or ConPTY reader-park (KH 7.6). That's doyle's to mint. Verify clippy/traceable green, commit Wave 1, ping doyle the verdict.

v0.12.1 Wave 1 — dummy-harness real-harness fixture (bringup PROVEN + attach-connects)

The permanent real-harness regression fixture v0.12.0 lacked: drives the REAL
spt-hosted path end-to-end (spt daemon run -> endpoint run --start ->
launch_harness_brokered_in -> broker PTY -> spt rc attach), NOT a mock that exits
immediately and NOT in-proc reconcile_once.

- mock-session --mode dummy: binds its perch (the harness contract), prints a
  DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK stdout heartbeat on an interval, and STAYS ALIVE until killed.
- dummy_harness_e2e.rs: asserts endpoint run brings the dummy up ONLINE, the PTY
  child stays ALIVE (heartbeating), a psyche is hosted, and `spt rc` ATTACHES
  (pump reader spawned, no RC_FAIL).

Three load-bearing fixture findings (baked in):
1. the dummy MUST declare [session.psyche_init] (a long-lived psyche, mirroring
   brain_restart_psyche_dup's `psychebin ready {id}`) — cmd_bind marks status=online
   ONLY for `live_agent && manifest.psyche_init.is_some()` (startup.rs:464), gating
   the online signal to the reconcile host predicate.
2. the test MUST be NET-ENABLED (a real node identity; do NOT seed a corrupt
   netless node.key) — `spt rc` attaches over a broker-minted loopback-over-net
   conn, and a net-less broker refuses it ("net disabled: bound without a network
   host"). Unlike the livehost/reconcile tests (which only inspect perch state).
3. the rc child needs stdin HELD OPEN or its pump EOF-detaches before streaming.

OPEN (Wave 2 immediate lead, captured as a diagnostic not yet an assertion): a
clean attach to this live, heartbeating endpoint-run harness receives ZERO of its
[session.self] stdout — the operator's "attach shows no output" symptom reproduced
with NO death/wedge. Disambiguated: ticks ARE emitted by [session.self] (flushed,
the attach target, not the psyche); the attach.rs known-good
(local_attach_via_loopback_conn_rides_the_same_pump) proves the broker DOES
drain+fan a spawn_session PTY child to a loopback attach. So it is an endpoint-run
(spawn_session_pid) specific drain/fan gap — a likely THIRD root alongside
VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH + ATTACH-WEDGE. Root-cause + REQ pending.

Wave 1 committed @33fb39c. Ping doyle the **(3) verdict** so he mints the REQ-HAZARD.


cd /c/Users/decid/Documents/projects/spt-core
$OWL send doyle <<'EOF'
WAVE 1 COMMITTED @33fb39c (dummy mode + dummy_harness_e2e.rs, green at bringup+attach-CONNECTS, clippy --workspace + traceable EXIT=0). 3 findings in the commit body.

DISAMBIGUATION VERDICT = (3) REAL endpoint-run-specific output bug:
- (1) ruled out: DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK is emitted by [session.self] (--mode dummy = the broker PTY child = attach target), flushed each line. Not the psyche-target artifact.
- (2) known-good CONFIRMED: attach.rs `local_attach_via_loopback_conn_rides_the_same_pump` + `broker_spawns_the_pty_child_in_the_requested_cwd` prove the broker DOES drain+fan a spawn_session PTY child to a LOOPBACK attach (same transport rc uses).
- (3) CONFIRMED: my clean rc attach to the live heartbeating endpoint-run harness gets EXACTLY 0 bytes over 10s (no death, no wedge) = the operator's "attach shows no output."

NARROWED LEAD: both spawn_session AND spawn_session_pid send KIND_SPAWN → the SAME broker dispatch_spawn (broker.rs:706/835) which starts the per-session drain+OutputLog — so the drain IS wired for endpoint-run too. So the gap is narrower than "no drain": candidates = (a) spawn_session_pid's SpawnReq stdio/env/cwd differs so the dummy's stdout isn't the captured ConPTY, OR (b) the dummy's stdout WRITE BLOCKS because the ConPTY buffer fills (drain not reading THIS pty) → explains alive-but-0-bytes, OR (c) ConPTY reader-park KH 7.6 on this path, OR (d) `spt rc` resolve_session/subscribe for an endpoint-run session subscribes to the wrong/empty log. Your call on minting the REQ-HAZARD + how deep you want me to root it. Context very high — communing + self-clearing; resume on your REQ dispatch.

Write

**v0.12.1 Wave 1 COMMITTED @33fb39c. Awaiting doyle's REQ-mint for the (3) endpoint-run output bug. Self-clearing (context very high).**

SPRINT: v0.12.1 lifecycle reopen (doyle). v0.12.0 shipped but lifecycle fixes broke in REAL daemon+broker+PTY (we gated on mocks/in-proc reconcile). Branch v0.12.1-lifecycle. Plan = V0.12.1-LIFECYCLE-JIT.md ON BRANCH. doyle gates per-wave vs REAL dummy-harness + real daemon. Detail: memory [[v0121-lifecycle-realharness]] + [[v0121-realharness-reopen]].

WAVE 1 DONE + COMMITTED @33fb39c (clippy --workspace + traceable EXIT=0, test green):
- mock-session --mode dummy (adapters/mock/src/main.rs): binds + DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK heartbeat + stays alive.
- crates/spt/tests/dummy_harness_e2e.rs: endpoint run --start → asserts online + alive + psyche + rc ATTACHES (no RC_FAIL). rc tick-capture is a DIAGNOSTIC (not assert) pending the Wave 2 output fix.
- 3 fixture findings (load-bearing): (i) dummy MUST declare [session.psyche_init] or cmd_bind never marks online (startup.rs:464); (ii) test MUST be NET-ENABLED (rc loopback needs net host); (iii) rc stdin HELD OPEN.

OUTPUT-DELIVERY DISAMBIGUATION (doyle's 1/2/3) = VERDICT (3) REAL endpoint-run bug:
- (1) ruled out: ticks from [session.self] (attach target), flushed.
- (2) known-good CONFIRMED: attach.rs local_attach_via_loopback_conn_rides_the_same_pump proves broker drains+fans a spawn_session PTY to a loopback attach.
- (3) CONFIRMED: clean rc attach to live heartbeating endpoint-run harness = 0 bytes / 10s, no death/wedge = operator's "attach shows no output."
- NARROWED: both spawn_session + spawn_session_pid → KIND_SPAWN → SAME dispatch_spawn drain (broker.rs:706/835), so drain IS wired. Candidates: (a) spawn_session_pid SpawnReq stdio/env/cwd so dummy stdout isn't the captured ConPTY; (b) dummy stdout WRITE BLOCKS on a full ConPTY (drain not reading) → alive-but-0-bytes; (c) ConPTY reader-park KH7.6; (d) rc resolve_session/subscribe wrong log for endpoint-run session.

ON RESUME:
1. Read doyle's reply — he was minting a REQ-HAZARD for the (3) endpoint-run-output bug + deciding how deep I root it. This is the IMMEDIATE Wave 2 lead (may be THE operator bug, do before breakaway/wedge).
2. Per his dispatch: root-cause the 0-byte endpoint-run attach (start: compare spawn_session_pid vs spawn_session SpawnReq construction in harnesshost.rs:158; broker dispatch_spawn PTY reader/drain broker.rs:835+; reader.rs drain thread; ConPTY KH7.6). Use the committed dummy_harness_e2e fixture to repro (flip the rc_saw_tick diagnostic to a hard assert once fixed).
3. Then Wave 2 keystone: VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH (CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB daemon.rs:707 + deelevate.rs:519 + daemon-owned Job backstop mirror reap.rs) + ATTACH-WEDGE (loopback fail-fast nethost.rs:1040/1090/1103, 2-worker nethost.rs:640) + status-online-within-tick + daemon-stop-ends-all (fold doyle repro: died harness reaps {id}-psyche; daemon-stop down-bounded NO racing CLI).

SEAM BAR (every wave): pre-build `cargo build -p mock-adapter --bin mock-session`; clippy --workspace -D warnings + traceable EXIT=0 + dummy E2E (serial, target-seam, NET-ENABLED). Gotchas: no jq (use gh --jq); spt no lib; xtask gen DEFAULT target; SERIAL cargo on HFENDULEAM (shared CI runner, scope pid reaps).

Poll listener survives clear. doyle self-drives; I reply to his dispatch.

**v0.12.1 Wave 1 COMMITTED @33fb39c. Awaiting doyle's REQ-mint for the (3) endpoint-run output bug. Self-clearing (context very high).**

SPRINT: v0.12.1 lifecycle reopen (doyle). v0.12.0 shipped but lifecycle fixes broke in REAL daemon+broker+PTY (we gated on mocks/in-proc reconcile). Branch v0.12.1-lifecycle. Plan = V0.12.1-LIFECYCLE-JIT.md ON BRANCH. doyle gates per-wave vs REAL dummy-harness + real daemon. Detail: memory [[v0121-lifecycle-realharness]] + [[v0121-realharness-reopen]].

WAVE 1 DONE + COMMITTED @33fb39c (clippy --workspace + traceable EXIT=0, test green):
- mock-session --mode dummy (adapters/mock/src/main.rs): binds + DUMMY_HARNESS_TICK heartbeat + stays alive.
- crates/spt/tests/dummy_harness_e2e.rs: endpoint run --start → asserts online + alive + psyche + rc ATTACHES (no RC_FAIL). rc tick-capture is a DIAGNOSTIC (not assert) pending the Wave 2 output fix.
- 3 fixture findings (load-bearing): (i) dummy MUST declare [session.psyche_init] or cmd_bind never marks online (startup.rs:464); (ii) test MUST be NET-ENABLED (rc loopback needs net host); (iii) rc stdin HELD OPEN.

OUTPUT-DELIVERY DISAMBIGUATION (doyle's 1/2/3) = VERDICT (3) REAL endpoint-run bug:
- (1) ruled out: ticks from [session.self] (attach target), flushed.
- (2) known-good CONFIRMED: attach.rs local_attach_via_loopback_conn_rides_the_same_pump proves broker drains+fans a spawn_session PTY to a loopback attach.
- (3) CONFIRMED: clean rc attach to live heartbeating endpoint-run harness = 0 bytes / 10s, no death/wedge = operator's "attach shows no output."
- NARROWED: both spawn_session + spawn_session_pid → KIND_SPAWN → SAME dispatch_spawn drain (broker.rs:706/835), so drain IS wired. Candidates: (a) spawn_session_pid SpawnReq stdio/env/cwd so dummy stdout isn't the captured ConPTY; (b) dummy stdout WRITE BLOCKS on a full ConPTY (drain not reading) → alive-but-0-bytes; (c) ConPTY reader-park KH7.6; (d) rc resolve_session/subscribe wrong log for endpoint-run session.

Edit

- **COMMITTED @33fb39c** (clippy --workspace + traceable EXIT=0, test green at bringup+attach-CONNECTS; rc tick-capture is a DIAGNOSTIC not assert). doyle ruling: do NOT paper over the zero-output — it's likely the operator's CORE "attach shows no output" reproduced w/o death/wedge. DISAMBIGUATION DONE → **VERDICT (3) REAL endpoint-run-specific output bug:** (1) ruled out (ticks from [session.self], flushed, = attach target not psyche); (2) known-good CONFIRMED (attach.rs local_attach_via_loopback_conn_rides_the_same_pump proves broker drains+fans a spawn_session PTY to a loopback attach); (3) CONFIRMED (clean rc attach to live heartbeating endpoint-run harness = 0 bytes/10s). NARROWED: spawn_session + spawn_session_pid both → KIND_SPAWN → SAME dispatch_spawn drain (broker.rs:706/835), so drain IS wired — candidates (a) spawn_session_pid SpawnReq stdio/cwd so dummy stdout≠captured ConPTY, (b) dummy stdout WRITE BLOCKS on full ConPTY (drain not reading) = alive-but-0-bytes, (c) ConPTY reader-park KH7.6, (d) rc resolve/subscribe wrong log. doyle minting a REQ-HAZARD (likely THIRD root) — IMMEDIATE Wave 2 lead, may be THE operator bug, do before breakaway/wedge. Pinged doyle the verdict; self-cleared awaiting his REQ dispatch.

Self-clear armed (Wave 1 committed @33fb39c, doyle pinged the (3) verdict, commune written). Ending turn so `/clear` fires.


# Autonomous loop tick (dynamic pacing)

Run the autonomous check using the loop instructions established earlier in this conversation. If you cannot find them, treat this as a no-op tick.

You scheduled this tick via the ScheduleWakeup tool (not a recurring cron). To keep the loop alive, call ScheduleWakeup again at the end of this turn with `prompt` set to the literal sentinel `<<autonomous-loop-dynamic>>` — otherwise the loop ends after this tick.

If a Monitor is armed (check TaskList), keep `delaySeconds` at 1200–1800s — the Monitor is the wake signal and this is only the fallback heartbeat. If you were woken by a `<task-notification>`, handle the event before rescheduling. To stop the loop, also TaskStop the monitor (use TaskList to find its task ID if no longer in context).
