LIFECYCLE-TRUTH milestone (operator GO 2026-07-07; plan docs/NEXT-MILESTONE-LIFECYCLETRUTH-TRIAGE.md @907dd2d; doyle gates, todlando executes).

**RELEASE v0.29.0 = counter-49 ✅ PUBLISHED (doyle drove end-to-end, operator GO 2026-07-07; seed in doyle env → doyle signed).** Latest on spt-releases, isDraft=false, all 8 assets (2 binaries + 2 .release.json sigs + SHA256SUMS + manifest.schema.json + mock-adapter.zip + update-set.json v49 "0.29.0"), signed rel-primary-2026. **LIFECYCLE-TRUTH milestone SHIPPED.** Remaining post-ship = OPERATOR: W1 field-accept swap window (daemon restart on box → ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL brings live endpoints back, clears OLD-daemon commune FAILED stamps). perri pinged live (CC echo-verify self-activates on 0.29.0 core; floor can move to 0.29.0). deployah QUEUED (parked; drove-by-doyle noted). Full drive ledger below.

**RELEASE v0.29.0 = counter-49 (doyle drove, operator GO "drive to release publish" 2026-07-07).** PROGRESS: bump @a74e526 → CI gate-hold #1 fixed @7190730 → PR #57 CI ALL GREEN (test+n1-gate both platforms + traceability; Win dummy_harness flake self-resolved on rerun) → **PR #57 MERGED @d0c1cf1 (main HEAD, merge commit, tree=validated 7190730)** → **TAG v0.29.0 PUSHED @d0c1cf1** → release.yml run 28912687168 SUCCESS (build Linux+Windows+assemble green) → **v0.29.0 DRAFT READY on spt-releases (all 5 assets: spt-x86_64-linux, spt-x86_64-windows.exe, SHA256SUMS, manifest.schema.json, mock-adapter.zip; isDraft=true; v0.28.0 still Latest)** + docs-publish.yml. **NEXT = SEED-GATED SIGN+PUBLISH (operator/deployah, doyle CANNOT — no seed):** `SPT_RELEASE_SEED_CMD='<mgr read>' cargo run -p xtask -- release-publish --tag v0.29.0 --key-id rel-primary-2026 --version 49` (or SPT_RELEASE_SEED=<raw hex>). Verifies binaries vs SHA256SUMS → signs *.release.json → uploads metadata → flips draft PUBLIC. THEN: ping perri floor (counter-49 published) + W1 field-accept swap window. deployah = designated driver but PARKED (sends QUEUE not live) → doyle took the wheel per operator. Steps 1-3 done: bump 0.28.0→0.29.0 @a74e526 (Cargo.toml workspace ver + `cargo update --workspace` bumped exactly 11 first-party lock members; strum/strum_macros STAYED 0.28.0 = darling-class collision avoided; netlink-packet-route+ratatui genuinely 0.29.0 upstream, not mine), xtask gen (reference.md already current), CHANGELOG [0.29.0] user-facing census v0.28.0..HEAD (lingo-clean). **PR #57 lifecycle-truth→main OPEN** (title "release: v0.29.0 — LIFECYCLE-TRUTH", NO [twohost] this milestone), MERGEABLE, CI running (test Win hfenduleam + Linux kitsubito + n1-gate + traceability). Background poll b5hix1qx1 notifies on CI conclude. **NEXT on CI green: merge PR → tag v0.29.0 on main HEAD → push tag → release.yml assembles DRAFT (spt-x86_64-linux/windows + SHA256SUMS + manifest.schema.json + mock-adapter.zip) + docs-publish.yml. Then STEP 4 SIGN+PUBLISH = SEED-GATED (SPT_RELEASE_SEED, maintainer password-manager, NEVER in CI): `SPT_RELEASE_SEED_CMD='<mgr read>' cargo run -p xtask -- release-publish --tag v0.29.0 --key-id rel-primary-2026 --version 49` — verifies binaries vs SHA256SUMS, signs *.release.json, uploads metadata, flips draft PUBLIC. This is OPERATOR's or deployah's (has seed) — doyle CANNOT publish (no seed).** **CI GATE-HOLD #1 (PR #57 first run, doyle fixed @7190730):** 3 reds, ALL non-substantive. (1) **n1-gate** (new-brain×old-broker, BOTH platforms — pins old broker @0c95435 the split-skeleton, builds it, runs current `n1_pairing` with SPT_N1_OLD_BROKER): `new_brain_serves_against_old_broker` assert#2 `trace.contains(BRAIN_UP)` failed w/ EMPTY trace. ROOT: **W3 REQ-DAEMON-STDERR-PERSIST (32c789e, brainproc.rs:165 stderrlog::install) redirects the brain's OWN stderr FD → SPT_HOME/logs/daemon.stderr.log** at run_brain start, so BRAIN_UP (line 176, after install) no longer lands on the test's INHERITED stderr capture. assert#1 (brain ALIVE vs old broker) PASSED = **N-1 compat INTACT, only the test observation moved**. Env-gated (SPT_N1_OLD_BROKER unset → local nextest SILENT-SKIPS it) so wave gates never ran it — surfaced only at 1st PR-to-main CI. FIX: n1_pairing.rs trace block reads home.path()/logs/daemon.stderr.log too. (2) **traceability** `check --json` parse_error docs/W6-GATE-VERDICT.md:40,50 — MY verdict prose carried literal `[doc->…]`/`[doc->REQ-DOC-*]` tag-shaped tokens (REPEATED the exact flaw todlando flagged in my dispatch ruling). CI `check --json` is STRICTER than local plain `check` (parse_error severity=must→exit1; local plain check exit-0 MISSED it). FIX: arrow `→` neutralize. (3) **Windows test** dummy_harness_e2e endpoint_run_attach saw_tick (Linux GREEN, test UNCHANGED in milestone, bailed flags false=logic ran) = hfenduleam CI/live-daemon TIMING flake, NOT regression → rerun. Verified fixes: cargo check -p spt --test n1_pairing OK, traceable check --json EXIT0 0-findings. **LESSONS: (a) env-gated tests (SPT_N1_OLD_BROKER / SPT_TWO_HOST) SILENT-SKIP local nextest → a stderr-redirect/behavior change escapes wave gates, catches at PR CI only — grep env-gated tests for observation deps on changed behavior; (b) CI traceability = `check --json` (parse_error gate), STRICTER than local `traceable-reqs check` — run `check --json` locally before gating docs; (c) tag-shaped `[stage->REQ]` tokens in ANY prose (rulings/verdicts) trip the CI parse gate — write `→`/wordform in prose, real tags only on artifacts.** SEED (non-blocking, filed): multi_subnet_bringup_e2e.rs:288 `!brain_stderr.contains(HOME_REFUSED)` NEGATIVE assert went VACUOUS from the same W3 redirect (reads emptied inherited home/brain.stderr.log) — still GREEN but weakened; harden to read SPT_HOME/logs/daemon.stderr.log (deferred, left green test untouched mid-hotfix). Runbook docs/RELEASE-RUNBOOK.md. After publish: ping perri floor (counter-49 published → adapter min_spt_core) + W1 field-accept swap window (daemon restart on box → ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL). Release-stale-window: Latest serves stale update-set ~1min post-flip ([[release-updateset-stale-window]]). NOTE: while hfenduleam CI test job runs, NO local test suites here ([[seedmap-test-collides-live-daemon]]).

**POST-SHIP FIELD FIX — inject settle-gate RE-ARM (2026-07-08, doyle diagnosed, HANDED to todlando to build).** Thread 2 (PTY inject HEAD-TRUNCATION still on 0.29.0 despite W5-A) ROOT-CAUSED. `run_inject_worker` (broker.rs) gated Layer-1 settle behind `settled_once` = worker-local ONE-SHOT. Its premise ("head-swallow race is STARTUP-only — reader not attached after spawn") is FALSE: a mid-session `/clear` re-enters the harness raw-mode input reader → re-creates the pre-settle window, but the one-shot already fired at spawn → `settle_before_inject` SKIPPED → head eaten again. Echo-verify (Layer 2) default-OFF for that session → silent+unrecoverable. Evidence: perri screenshot WindowsTerminal_6iSjya8pMt.png (checkpoint-wake payload mid-path `spt/Cargo.toml`)` right after `/clear`). **FIX (doyle ruling):** replace `settled_once` one-shot with `probe_unobservable` latch — re-settle before EVERY delivery on an OBSERVABLE (echoing/interactive) PTY (the bug-prone class, cheap re-settle), latch-skip only where the probe is UNOBSERVABLE (non-echoing ConPTY — no reattach race + full-deadline cost). `should_settle(attempt, probe_unobservable) = attempt>1 || !probe_unobservable`; latch driven by first-attempt settle's own bool return. SAFETY CHECKED: int-mocks (findstr/cat) never answer DSR → latch true after delivery 1 → identical to old one-shot; `inject_control_wedge.rs:525,1886` stay true, NO int-test edits. Same REQ-INJECT-MULTILINE-INTEGRITY (impl bug, no new REQ; todlando to mint REQ-HAZARD-INJECT-SETTLE-REARM + unit cover). **ROLE CORRECTION mid-task (operator):** doyle soloed the build (wrote the edits) — reverted working tree, saved draft patch + BUILD-SPEC to scratchpad, SENT todlando the build (todlando builds, doyle gates, deployah publishes). doyle POSITIONED TO GATE on todlando return (isolated worktree + fresh target + both legs kitsubito). Draft patch: `<scratchpad>/inject-settle-rearm.patch`; spec: `<scratchpad>/BUILD-SPEC-inject-settle-rearm.md`. **BUILT @ddf7f8e (todlando, off main) — minted REQ-HAZARD-INJECT-SETTLE-REARM (KH 7.37, stages doc/impl/unit). GATED PASS (doyle 2026-07-08), verdict docs/INJECT-SETTLE-REARM-GATE-VERDICT.md @c8a13ec, branch pushed.** Both legs green: Win (ConPTY, isolated worktree + fresh target) clippy -D warnings 0 / traceable --json 0 / nextest 1707/1707 clean-env; kitsubito (forkpty) clippy 0 / nextest 1695/1695; should_settle unit PASS both. Diff FAITHFUL. **GATE-HOLD investigated + CLEARED = ENV CONTAMINATION, not code:** lone Win RED `inject_control_wedge::wan_arrival_to_idle_spt_hosted_injects_with_no_hook_poll` (pending=1, INJECT_HEAD_LOSS_SPOOL) — `SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO=1` exported in MY interactive live-agent shell (Process-scope only, User/Machine EMPTY → CI runner separate process tree WON'T inherit → CI-safe) armed Layer-2 echo-verify → Windows ConPTY headless-echo false-positive → respool. DETERMINISTIC: 5/5 FAIL with var set, PASS with unset. Linux passed = clean ssh env. My Layer-1 fix orthogonal to Layer-2. **LESSON: local gate on a LIVE-spt box inherits the box's declared-capability envs (SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO) → false-RED — check env scope (Process vs User/Machine) before blaming code; CI is clean if Process-scope.** **SEED (test-only, non-blocking, to todlando):** init_wedge_home (inject_control_wedge.rs) sets SPT_INJECT_SETTLE_MS but should ALSO remove_var SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO + SPT_INJECT_FORCE_ECHO_MISS for suite hermeticity on live boxes. **LANDED @d349829 (PR #58 merged to main 2026-07-08).** CI ALL GREEN (test Win+Linux, n1-gate Win+Linux, traceability; twohost SKIPPED no-tag) — the Windows CI job PASSED the exact WAN test that REDed my local gate = DEFINITIVE proof the RED was my-shell env-contamination (runner process tree has no SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO), not code. Fix-only, NO bump — release cut deferred to operator GO (deployah authors bump, QUEUED heads-up sent; batchable w/ the init_wedge_home hermeticity seed). Gate worktree .worktrees/gate-ddf7f8e dir pinned (busy handle) — retry remove later. **RELEASE v0.29.1 = counter 50 IN FLIGHT (operator GO "publish the release" 2026-07-08).** doyle cut bump+CHANGELOG (0.29.0→0.29.1, cargo update --workspace 11 first-party; netlink-packet-route+ratatui stay 0.29.0 upstream; reference.md gen = EOL-only no-drift, reverted) → PR #59 release/0.29.1→main OPEN, CI in flight. **HANDED TO deployah to PUBLISH (role-corrected mid-cut — see below).** deployah TOOK WHEEL, HAS SEED (len 64, no relay), watching run 28937698822: on green FF-merge #59 → tag v0.29.1 → release.yml draft → `release-publish --tag v0.29.1 --key-id rel-primary-2026 --version 50` → verify Latest flip → ping perri floor. deployah reports on publish. **✅ PUBLISHED v0.29.1 = counter 50 (deployah drove clean 2026-07-08, operator GO).** Sign step no-bounce; Latest=v0.29.1, draft=false; update-set v50 product_version 0.29.1, key rel-primary-2026, both-platform sha256 match signed binaries (win feb34a8…, linux 47c4f45…); release-publish exit 0. Ledger @187d14b (main merge), tag v0.29.1.

Local gates: clippy --workspace clean; nextest 572/572 spt-daemon + 1091/1091 rest FOREGROUND; traceable-reqs exit 0 (448 reqs).

**W1 GATED PASS (doyle, 2026-07-07)**: isolated worktree @4c1573b fresh target — clippy --workspace clean, nextest 1663/1663 (6 leaky/1 skipped normal), traceable exit-0; diff review clean (contract-faithful, tags on evidence, no old-behavior assertions broken). **FIELD-ACCEPT OPEN**: needs fixed daemon LIVE on hfenduleam then BOTH psyche stamps self-clear on next commune (doyle's live FAILED stamp — commune drop os-error-5 09:04Z — is the probe). Swap = operator-coordinated window ONLY: daemon restart kills all live endpoints (seed #6 = W3 target).

**W2 RULED APPROVED (doyle @60ec0ed)**: docs/W2-DESIGN-RULING.md. Q1 = new BRAIN_WRITE_DEADLINE 15s (3× controller, last_ok zero-progress semantics). Q2 = minimal-plus: stamp release broker-side + take/reattach-refuse read broker truth + residual brain legs bounded+loud; wholesale verb migration DEFERRED (suspend-brain rig = arbiter, re-rule on evidence). Q3 = passive resubscribe + BINDING observability rider (evict in broker log AND daemon status). Gate conditions: off-lock proof comment per site, int rig w/ Linux leg (kitsubito), driven_by_selfheal + sink seam sweep, per-wave activation in work-start commit. Todlando ACK'd full ruling, activated REQ-HAZARD-BROKER-VIEWER-BRAIN-DECOUPLE.

**W2 GATED PASS (doyle @e5ae7a9, 2026-07-07)**: docs/W2-GATE-VERDICT.md. Both legs green — Win isolated worktree @fbf8ab7 fresh target (clippy clean, nextest 1667/1668 + trip isolated 5/5, traceable exit-0) + kitsubito Linux (rig+seams 19/19, lib 451/451). FLAKE LEDGER: boundary_resurfaces_undismissed_notifs (run1, 1/1 isolated) + spt-store atomic concurrent_writers os-error-5 AV-hold (run2, 5/5 isolated; seed: extend denied-only retry to atomic_write tmp renames). RULINGS: mechanic-d → W3 BINDING (explicit drained-REQ + false-promote rig at W3 activation; 15s residual window = hazard BOUNDED not closed); premise refinement accepted. RIDER LANDED @2fe7342, doyle-verified verbatim — W2 CLOSED all stages. W3 underway (todlando): endpoint-survival FIRST (unblocks W1 field-accept; swap window then delivers W1+W2 live together); W3 mint must carry drained-condition REQ + false-promote rig (binding), daemon stderr persist, one-shot finish, rc-reconnect truth. Gate gotchas: pipe in gate script masked nextest exit (use no pipe / check log); kitsubito non-interactive ssh needs ~/.cargo/env sourced; cwd persists between Bash calls (worktree cd leaked into next commands).

**W2 BUILT FOR GATE (todlando, 2026-07-07) — all 4 stages, wave head fbf8ab7, pushed. Report: docs/W2-BUILT-REPORT.md.** Ledger: c9346c0 core+observability; 0b0af33 KH 7.36 (doc); fbf8ab7 int rig + SPT_BRAIN_WRITE_DEADLINE_MS seam; bc05bc8 gate report. **ROOT (refined in-tree):** controller eviction was OUTPUT-driven (append→mark_controller_gone) + reap only caught EXITED writers → a BLOCKED controller on an IDLE session (suspended brain conn) evicted by neither → driven_by latched, reattach refused, --take stuck. **FIX:** controller_writer publishes write_blocked_since (Some(Instant) around each blocking write_frame, mutex never held across); controller_write_stalled = WEDGED past deadline (idle=None never evicted, slow-but-draining never trips); stall_evict_controller at resolve_subscribe (Inline stamp) + KIND_SESSIONS reap (Deferred) releases broker-side. Observability: per-evict log + broker tally → KIND_STALL_EVICTS IPC → Brain::stall_evicts → render_stall_evict_line on daemon status + json. **Int (brain_decouple.rs):** REMOTE controller R stops reading = suspended-brain analog; RED-first proven (comment out resolve_subscribe evict → BusyControlled + evicts=0; R MUST be remote else pre-existing undriven-take path masks it). **Local gates (post-crash clean rebuild, CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0):** clippy workspace clean, nextest workspace 1668/1668, seam sweep green (inject_control_wedge 22/22, broker units 30/30), traceable exit 0. **Linux leg (kitsubito) = doyle's at gate.** OPEN RULINGS: (1) mechanic-d promotion-gate this-wave-vs-W3 (stall-evict already delivers the drained precondition; explicit wait touches ADR-0018 brain-trial, NOT exercised by suspend rig); (2) dispatch-side premise refinement (local rc hits broker directly via cold_start_pump — NOT the wedge; idle-blocked-controller IS the root). PC crashed mid-gate-sweep; recovered clean (wiped target/debug/incremental — LNK1285 corrupt PDB + corrupt incremental artifact = crash aftermath, not code).

**POST-0.29.0 FOLLOW-UP FIX — settle-gate RE-ARM AT DOYLE GATE (todlando 2026-07-08) @ddf7f8e, branch `fix/inject-settle-rearm` (off main), pushed.** doyle diagnosis + design ruling (spec BUILD-SPEC-inject-settle-rearm) + ready patch. FIELD BUG: PTY inject head-truncation RECURRED on 0.29.0 (perri screenshot — checkpoint-wake payload right after `/clear` lost its head). ROOT: shipped W5-A settle-gate gated Layer 1 behind worker-local ONE-SHOT `settled_once` on FALSE premise (head-swallow = startup-only). A mid-session `/clear` re-enters harness raw-mode input reader → re-creates pre-settle window, but one-shot already fired at spawn → settle SKIPPED → head eaten; echo-verify default-OFF → silent+unrecoverable. FIX (doyle ruling, `broker.rs run_inject_worker`): `settled_once` → `probe_unobservable` latch + pure `should_settle(attempt, probe_unobservable) = attempt>1 || !probe_unobservable`. Re-settle EVERY delivery on OBSERVABLE (echoing) PTY; latch-skip steady-state settle ONLY where probe UNOBSERVABLE (non-echoing ConPTY — no reader-reattach race + settle burns full deadline). `settle_before_inject` now returns bool (observed vs timed-out), latched first-attempt only; re-drive always settles. NO int edit (doyle safety-checked: inject_control_wedge mocks never answer DSR → probe_unobservable latches true after delivery-1 → identical to old one-shot for those non-echoing mocks). Minted REQ-HAZARD-INJECT-SETTLE-REARM (KH 7.37) [doc,impl,unit], test should_settle_rearms_on_observable_pty (RED-first). LOCAL GATES GREEN: clippy --workspace clean, traceable check --json clean (no parse err, new REQ +doc+impl+unit), unit passes. **NEXT: doyle gates (isolated worktree + full nextest + kitsubito leg) — NOT self-gated. On PASS → ships in a patch cut (0.29.1?). This bug still LIVE in running 0.29.0 daemon til deploy → sub-400B/file-transport binding STILL holds.**

**W6 GATED PASS + BLESSED (doyle, 2026-07-07). Verdict docs/W6-GATE-VERDICT.md @53a0470.** Both doc REQs faithful + NON-vacuous; echo-commune.md matches W1 contract, json-shapes DTO fields spot-checked vs source; xtask/traceable/mdbook green; docs-only = no Linux leg. Both todlando flags ACCEPTED (vacuous-tag fix correct + v0.29.0 stamp correct, counter-49=0.29.0). **LIFECYCLE-TRUTH COMPLETE — ALL 6 WAVES GATED + BLESSED.** Remaining = OPERATOR-GATED ONLY (counter-49 via deployah + W1 swap window). todlando stood down clean.

**W6 BUILT + AT DOYLE GATE (todlando 2026-07-07) @fbf5d35, pushed.** The 2 doc pages (items 1-2; item-3 perri wiring already CLOSED @v0.15.8):
- **NEW `docs-site/src/harness-contract/echo-commune.md`** (REQ-DOC-ECHO-COMMUNE-CONTRACT [doc]) — the `[session.echo_commune]` I/O contract: role+fields (SessionRole), key catalog spt-core fills (base_keys: {id}/{session_id}/{node}/{subnet}/{adapter_dir}/{adapter_name}/read-env {VAR}), **history-not-fed-on-stdin** (stdin channel exists but field-empty vs reference adapter → summarizer must self-source transcript like a `[digest]` fetcher), read-env self-locate (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR capture→fallback→omit-loud), drop-file protocol (single-writer KH6.4, fixed `<id>-commune.md`, `resolve_endpoint_drop_dir`: abs as-is / rel→endpoint-cwd / rel-no-cwd→loud-skip *stamped since v0.29.0*, ingest-deletes), stdout ingestion (`Source: echo-commune` stamp + two-slice `<live-context>`/`<project-context>` routing, untagged→live, precedence-guard, checkpoint-strip). Added to SUMMARY + llms.txt.
- **NEW `docs-site/src/reference/json-shapes.md`** (REQ-DOC-DELIVERY-VOCAB [doc]) — machine-consumer ref: send-outcome vocab CANONICAL cross-link to Messaging (didn't duplicate — single-canonical-way); `endpoint digest --json` schema (turns/Turn{input,entries,input_seq?,partial?}/entry variants Agent|ToolSprint|Boundary|Context/ToolUse{name,arg}); shell-relay MAC-stamp `<mac-hex> <frame>` = HMAC-SHA256(SHA-256(link_token)); `api poll` two-surface auth split (agent hook-channel no-token / shell `--link` token); full `--json` catalog (endpoint list/whoami, digest, endpoint-info, daemon status, subnet status/show-code, notif/access/grant/adapter/shell list, description/role). Added to SUMMARY + llms.txt.
- **Also tagged** the existing `messaging/overview.md` send-outcome section `[doc->REQ-DOC-DELIVERY-VOCAB]` (already-published v0.26.0 vocab = the real evidence).
- **HONESTY FIX:** `traceable-reqs check` was passing VACUOUSLY — it matched the literal `[doc->REQ-*]` tag strings inside doyle's `W6-DISPATCH-RULING.md` gate-criteria (a phantom, would pass even with zero real pages). Neutralized (ASCII `->` → unicode `→` in the ruling's criteria line). Gate now passes ONLY on the real doc sections. Flagged to doyle.
- **Local gates GREEN:** `traceable-reqs check` exit-0 (REAL evidence, +doc on both), `cargo run -p xtask -- check` OK (CLI-ref no-drift — didn't touch CLI + docs-token scan clean + llms.txt links live), `cargo test -p spt-runtime checked_in_schema` ok, mdbook build clean with ALL cross-anchors verified against generated HTML ids (fixed 2: `#sessionrole--outbound-templates` + `#envvar--env-var-table` — mdbook slugify drops bracket/dot punctuation). Commit body = full gate report (doyle reads via branch). Sent doyle sub-400B gate ping (SENT live). **NEXT: doyle gate verdict → on PASS milestone LIFECYCLE-TRUTH COMPLETE → counter-49 (deployah/operator wake) + W1 swap window (operator).** traceable-reqs.toml NOT edited by me (doyle owns activation, both REQs already ["doc"]). psyche-host still FAILED (os error 5, clears on counter-49 deploy per doyle) — auto-memory is my resurrection anchor, commune unreliable til deploy.

**W6 DISPATCHED (doyle ruling docs/W6-DISPATCH-RULING.md @3a9d88f, 2026-07-07) — LAST WAVE, scope frozen 3 items.** Both doc REQs ACTIVATED required_stages=["doc"] (docs-only, no impl/unit/int — publish shipped behavior): (1) REQ-DOC-ECHO-COMMUNE-CONTRACT → todlando (docs-site echo_commune I/O contract: key catalog, core does-NOT-stdin-feed-[history], self-locate CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/read_env, drop-file single-writer/ingest-deletes/W1 resolver, stdout ingestion); (2) REQ-DOC-DELIVERY-VOCAB → todlando (send-outcome vocab SENT/SENT(WAN)/QUEUED/DEFERRED/NO_PERCH + digest --json schema + api poll auth/MAC-stamp + --json checklist seed#3). Both VERSION-scoped (no wave/REQ codes on public page), docs-publish drift gate + xtask docs-token scan must be GREEN, tag [doc->REQ-*] on real sections. (3) SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO CC-manifest wiring → **perri** (NO new spt-core REQ — core capability W5-A-covered at broker.rs:2123, ON-switch is adapter DATA per [[adapter-glue-model-boundary]]). perri REFINEMENT ACCEPTED: floor STAYS 0.27.0 (env inert on pre-49 cores, auto-active once counter-49 deploys = forward-safe, NO floor gate, decouples adapter ship from release; NO counter-49 ping needed for this env — self-activates on deploy). perri cutting adapter v0.15.8 [env.SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO]=1 direction=inject, node-applying. **ITEM-3 CLOSED (perri, v0.15.8 LANDED+node-applied 0.15.7→0.15.8): installed manifest carries the env inject verified, REQ-INJECT-VERIFY-ECHO unit-covered adapter-side, gates green; broker-arms E2E RIDES doyle's counter-49 wave verify (needs new core live). No spt-core gate blocker.** REMAINING W6 = todlando's 2 doc pages (items 1-2). GATE CRITERIA (doyle): both doc pages render + drift-gate GREEN + no-code-leak + traceable check exit-0 with both [doc->] tags; perri wiring tracked adapter-side (NOT a spt-core gate blocker). ON W6 GATE PASS → milestone LIFECYCLE-TRUTH COMPLETE → counter-49 (deployah, operator wake) + W1 field-accept swap window (operator). STALE gate worktrees .worktrees/gate-* reclaimed (27G target freed off gate-28df069; crates/spt-daemon skeletons stay handle-pinned til release, 68K each, retry). Deferred followups OUT: revival-currency grill (operator Q1) + REQ-SELF-ID-TRUST-INJECTED-ENV.

**W5 EXECUTING (todlando 2026-07-07). GO doyle ruling docs/W5-DISPATCH-RULING.md @5e82a22. Order C→B→A (C instruments A/B rigs). doyle gates both legs (Win + kitsubito) + delivery seam sweep.**
- **W5-C DONE @c41185d — REQ-SPOOL-TAKE-AUDIT [impl,unit].** Additive NULLABLE spool cols (taken_leg/taken_sid/taken_pid/taken_at_ms) stamped in SAME UPDATE as delivered=1. spt-store/spool.rs: TakerLeg enum (relay-backlog/hook-poll/idle-inject/psyche) + TakerAudit + mark_delivered_audited + `*_audited_at` variants (existing fns delegate None = ZERO test churn) + audit_rows_at + SpoolAuditRow(serde). Legs wired: relay-backlog (relay.rs drain_backlog + spt-msg ready.rs 2 sites), hook-poll (delivery.rs poll_drain + cmd_poll_shell + worker.rs), idle-inject (delivery.rs claim). psyche=reserved (no direct drain, F-030 per-event); ring.rs reply-drain unaudited (niche). --json via HIDDEN `spt spool-audit <id> [--json]` (hide=true → no docs-drift). Units in spool.rs.
- **W5-B DONE @435ff2e — REQ-IDLE-PARKED-DELIVERY [impl,unit,int].** Root: F-023 idle-edge drain fires ONLY on ACTIVE→IDLE transition; already-parked-idle never gets edge → parks (doyle GO sat delivered=0). FIX (ruling B = BOTH): shared `inject::drain_idle_spool(id,owlery)` core (claim/offer/release-on-miss/evaporate; delivery.rs drain_idle_window delegates). Primary=cmd_send: non-active-only spool to already-idle spt-hosted → re-offer NOW (SENT not QUEUED). Belt=livehost reconcile_once pulse tick: `has_parked_idle_spool` gate (hosted+.idle+pending>0) → drain each; retries each tick until broker activity agrees idle. Unit=has_parked gate. Int (inject_control_wedge, REAL broker on broker_socket_name + xlate binary): spooled row to already-idle → drain delivers, stamped idle-inject, RETRY loop (belt semantics). GOTCHA: is_online needs BOTH ready file + perch-alive; establish_endpoint_perch omits ready file — write resolve_ready_file. broker_socket_name()=SPT_HOME-derived (unique per process-per-test) so try_spt_hosted_inject reaches the test broker.
- **W5-A DONE @f4cec33 — REQ-INJECT-MULTILINE-INTEGRITY [impl,unit,int].** doyle 3-layer ruling A. **Layer 1 (MUST, UNCONDITIONAL) = settle-gate:** `settle_before_inject` writes benign DSR probe (ESC[6n) + waits for session-ring output before typing; worker-local ONE-SHOT (startup race — once settled, subsequent injects go straight through), bounded 400ms. THE root fix. **Layer 2 = echo-verify→re-drive-once→LOUD-spool:** `echo_verify_after` compares payload head-prefix vs `OutputLog::bytes_since(seq_start)`; miss→re-drive→2nd-miss→respool loud (delivered=false, recoverable) + INJECT_HEAD_LOSS_SPOOL stderr. **Layer 3 = chunked-paced write** (`chunk_text`, SPT_INJECT_TEXT_CHUNK). Seam: `run_inject_worker` refactored — `drive_one_sequence` returns typed SeqOutcome+sent_text; log threaded thru build_translation (3 sites). **⚠️ 2 PREMISE REFINEMENTS FLAGGED TO DOYLE (await ruling-check):** (1) **Layer 2 = DECLARED CAPABILITY `SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO` default-OFF, NOT unconditional** — universal echo-verify INFEASIBLE (raw-mode TUIs incl CC don't echo a control probe; ConPTY echoes neither probe nor programmatic inject; incidental output false-reads head-loss → regressed wan test). Adapter declares it (parallel to ruling's own bracketed-paste-where-declared). Layer 1 ships unconditional. (2) **bracketed-paste DEFERRED** (binary owns key/text interleave = not a clean wrap seam + F-019 moot-for-CC); chunked-under-settle ships (ruling's named fallback). **INT-TEST TRAPS LEARNED:** cooked-tty ECHOes input itself (child dropping OUTPUT can't repro head-loss); OS PTY buffers input during a child sleep (no drop); ConPTY doesn't deliver input to a custom stdin child; 24-row screen-grid cold-attach repaint scrolls a >24-line payload's HEAD off. So NO physical head-swallow child — int = (a) bigmultiline N-loop byte-complete (forkpty-hard HEADSTART+TAILEND, fits grid) + (b) forced-echo-miss (SPT_INJECT_FORCE_ECHO_MISS) → re-drive-twice + loud-spool, deterministic cross-platform RED-first. Config envs: SPT_INJECT_SETTLE_MS / _ECHO_MS / _TEXT_CHUNK / _VERIFY_ECHO / _FORCE_ECHO_MISS.
- **PERCH IDENTITY STOMP (doyle, fixed 2026-07-07):** doyle's W5 gate messages arrived stamped from=deployah AND from=cli@HFENDULEAM — a perch identity stomp; those relays were ALL doyle (verdicts/rulings correct regardless of stamp). Fixed — doyle's sends now stamp from=doyle. So the W5 ruling-check-accepted + GATE HOLD + GATED-PASS-BLESSED "relays" = doyle direct.
- **W6 DISPATCH INCOMING (doyle checkpointing 2026-07-07):** doyle context-reset to drive milestone completion clean; on wake dispatches W6 (LAST wave) — echo-commune + delivery-vocab contracts, folds CC SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO manifest wiring (perri coord). NO new scope. todlando standing by, branch stable @a97efd5, nothing pre-ruling. W6 route arrives on wake.
- **W5 GATED PASS + BLESSED @a97efd5 (doyle, 2026-07-07). Verdict docs/W5-GATE-VERDICT.md. Re-gate GREEN BOTH legs: Win nextest 1706/1706 + c1_miss 0/15; kitsubito inject 19/19 + c1_miss 0/8. Fix confirmed test-only (prod byte-identical to 28df069), both refinements accepted, diffs faithful. W1-W5 ALL GATED = milestone CODE COMPLETE. Remaining: W6 docs wave (last). W6 scope (accepted dispatch, awaiting doyle ruling): REQ-DOC-ECHO-COMMUNE-CONTRACT (echo_commune I/O contract on docs-site) + SPT_INJECT_VERIFY_ECHO CC-manifest capability wiring follow-up (perri coord — adapter declares it → Layer-2 echo-verify activates for CC). NOTE: W5 interim sub-400B/file-transport protocol lifts on daemon-DEPLOY (fixed daemon running live), NOT merely gate — old live daemon still head-truncates til updated. Release counter 49 = whatever blessed at cut (W3+W4+W5 now all blessed → W5 rides 49 if cut before), still behind W1 swap window + operator GO; CHANGELOG census covers v0.28.0..HEAD.**
- **W5 GATE HOLD → FIXED @a97efd5 (doyle 2026-07-07, both refinements ACCEPTED).** Linux leg GREEN @28df069 (1694/1694 incl forkpty HEADSTART/TAILEND). Win leg 1705/1706 — lone red = c1_miss_once_preserves_binary (PRE-EXISTING test) flaked ~17% ISOLATED (not ledgerable). ROOT: W5-A settle-gate adds per-worker settle before event-1 (mock PTY never answers DSR probe → bounded wait elapses), shifts event-2 binary-log write PAST the test's FIXED sleep(300ms)+one-shot count → events_logged reads 1 not 2. delivered2=true ALWAYS = OBSERVATION RACE not delivery bug. FIX (test-hardening ONLY, NO prod change) @a97efd5: (1) init_wedge_home shrinks SPT_INJECT_SETTLE_MS=80 suite-wide (presence invariant, speeds suite, removes perturbation; test explicit-set wins after init); (2) c1 reads events_logged via BOUNDED POLL (60×100ms) like delivered2 already polls. CONFIRMED c1 15/15 isolated (was 2/12) + full inject 19/19. Re-signalled doyle for Win re-run + c1 xN. LESSON: a prod latency change (settle-gate) breaks PRE-EXISTING tests' FIXED-sleep observation windows → grep+harden fixed-sleep-then-single-read sites to bounded polls [[behavior-change-grep-tests-not-comments]]. doyle-branch chain: 28df069(my report)→2201147(doyle HOLD doc)→a97efd5(my fix).
- **W5 WAVE GATE REQUESTED (doyle, 2026-07-07). Wave head @28df069 (report docs/W5-WAVE-GATE-REPORT.md), W5-A @f4cec33.** All 3 W5 REQs built. LOCAL GATE GREEN: clippy --workspace --all-targets clean, xtask check OK, traceable exit 0, nextest 1705/1706 (lone red = spt-store registry::concurrent_registration_never_locks = known AV-hold concurrency flake, PASSES isolated 1/1; 8 leaky, 1 skip; seedmap starvation did NOT recur under nextest process-isolation). Full inject seam suite 19/19 incl 2 new W5-A int + recovered wan test. Pinged doyle (gate both legs, kitsubito Linux = his; W5-A byte-receipt asserts forkpty-HARD). **GATE GOTCHA: box DISK-FULL (os-error-112) — target/debug/deps ballooned 135G + 46G stale CLOSED-wave worktrees (.worktrees/gate-fbf8ab7/e75e856/e09ba21 = W2/W3/W4); freed the worktrees (crates/spt-daemon subdirs stay busy-pinned, clear on retry); box needs a `target` clean before it re-fills. First ping to doyle was >400B (may head-truncate — sent compact sub-400B follow-up; report on branch has all).** deployah NOT pinged (gate→doyle; release counter 49 still behind W1 swap + operator GO; W5 rides 49 if blessed before cut).

**W4 GATED PASS + BLESSED (doyle, relayed deployah 2026-07-07) @e09ba21. Verdict docs/W4-GATE-VERDICT.md. Both legs GREEN: Win 1696/1696 + kitsubito 1684/1684, clippy/xtask/traceable clean. Both REQs faithful, RED-first verified, seam-sweep clean (run_no_dup complementary; listen e2e all --once → watchdog unarmed = no interference). W1-W4 ALL GATED. Requested W5 dispatch (delivery integrity) — awaiting doyle ruling. Release counter 49 still behind W1 swap + operator GO.**
**W4 BUILT + PUSHED @e09ba21 (todlando 2026-07-07). ruling docs/W4-DISPATCH-RULING.md @7448fd0.** Two REQs:
- **REQ-SPAWN-COLLISION-GUARD-LIVE-DUP [impl,unit,int]:** single-flight wake. Root=perri flynn dup (one wake→2 launch trees, dup perch writers stomp info.json). FIX (ruling1 = BROKER-SIDE claim keyed by id, NOT perch-record→avoids new info.json writer): broker `wake_inflight: Mutex<HashSet<String>>`; `dispatch_spawn` claim+live-session-recheck under ONE atomic critical section (no I/O under lock, process_id=cached pid), dup wake for live-or-inflight endpoint = no-op ack to existing session, racer-overran-window (leaked claim) taken over, empty endpoint never gated. RAII `WakeClaimGuard` releases on every exit. Pure `wake_gate_decision` truth-table unit. Int tests/wake_single_flight.rs: 2 concurrent wakes→1 session (RED-first PROVEN: drop gate→sid1=1/sid2=2/count=2).
- **REQ-HAZARD-LISTEN-ORPHAN [impl,unit]:** `api listen --parent-pid` poll watchdog. Root (mobile-gw): parent-pid auth-anchor only, no liveness watch→orphan holds perch false-ONLINE, rebind blocked. FIX (ruling2 = POLL baseline, OS-native optional): startup.rs `spawn_parent_watchdog` polls `parent_is_gone` every 2s, exits loud (EXIT_PARENT_GONE=3) → perch pid dies → liveness flips OFFLINE. Persistent branch only (--once no window). Units: parent_is_gone + orphan_exit_line. GOTCHA Win: a reaped `Child` HOLDS the process handle→pid stays probe-able (is_process_alive OpenProcess succeeds) until drop(child); prod is fine (listener holds no handle to a separate parent host)—only the test needed drop+poll.
- **LOCAL WAVE GATE GREEN + deployah GATE REQUESTED (2026-07-07, wave head e09ba21, report docs/W4-WAVE-GATE-REPORT.md @73aab45):** clippy -p spt-daemon -p spt --all-targets clean; full-workspace nextest 1696/1696 (8 leaky/1 skip) exit 0 (+4 over W3, NO regressions from dispatch_spawn seam change); xtask check OK (no CLI surface changed); traceable exit 0 (both +impl+unit[+int]). Gate request routed to **doyle** (SENT — gater/kitsubito Linux leg; deployah corrected my initial misroute: deployah=release-driver ONLY). W4 rides counter 49 IF blessed before the cut; cut staged behind W1 swap + operator GO. NOTE: dispatch_spawn dedup gates ONLY non-empty endpoint w/ a LIVE-or-inflight session — spawn/kill/respawn unaffected, only OVERLAPPING same-endpoint spawns dedup; full e2e green confirms no test relied on double-live-spawn.

**W3 GATED PASS + CLOSED (doyle @ec4462b, 2026-07-07).** docs/W3-GATE-VERDICT.md. Wave head e75e856, all 6 REQs gated (added DIGEST-GENERATION-SUPERSEDE @7e37e37 + PROMOTE-DRAINED @e75e856). BOTH LEGS GREEN: Win isolated worktree fresh target (clippy --workspace 0, nextest 1692/1692, xtask check OK, traceable 0) + kitsubito Linux bundle-deploy @e75e856 (clippy 0, nextest 1680/1680; delta=cfg(windows)). DIFF REVIEW both new REQs FAITHFUL: digest-supersede = logical_key(role,ts,text,tool) keep-newest-ordinal cross-gen-only + 3-pass boundary trim + RED-first int; promote-drained = ready_seen latch + old_gen_drained() gate (any_local_controller_wedged by:None only, sessions→log lock order, poison→fail-toward-promote), NO normal-apply regression (test drain_countdown default 0 = 24 prior trials unaffected), closes KH7.36. rc old-auto-start grep CLEAN (contract_e2e cold-api-seed = SEPARATE preserved seam REQ-DAEMON-3). GOTCHA: Win xtask 101 first pass = leaked nextest dev-daemons pinning worktree spt.exe (os error 5) → scoped-swept → xtask OK; recurs til teardown-reap lands. Worktree removal Permission-denied (busy-handle, inert+gitignored, retry). BLESSED todlando (acked, standing by). flynn ACKED (v0.29.0 anchor, verifies on adapter update; flynn's own digest dump showed the gen-union dup live). NEXT (all operator/deployah-gated): (1) W1 field-accept swap window (`update apply --finish`=the swap); (2) release counter 49 via deployah (PARKED—operator wake); (3) W4/W5/W6 after swap.

**FLYNN DIGEST GEN-UNION — ROOT-CAUSED + MINTED (doyle @cde465a, 2026-07-07).** Filing spt-mobile/docs/bug-reports/spt-core-digest-gen-union.md. ROOT (spt-core-side): digest.rs `activity_spanned` (SPAN_SESSIONS=5) unions a checkpoint/resume — the harness REPLAYS the prior generation's transcript into the new session file, so ancestor rows re-appear in the resume file at the SAME localseq; span tags seq=(ordinal<<32)|localseq → one logical row under two full seqs → exact-seq consumer dedup fails. Snapshot/`--after` path ONLY; `--follow from:0` clean (current-gen). Trigger can't disambiguate: `api boundary clear` records SessionTrigger::Clear for BOTH fresh /clear (disjoint) AND carry-forward checkpoint (reporting.rs:94) → structural skip-ancestor needs new boundary metadata+adapter coop = DEFERRED. RULING = flynn Option 1 supersede, projection-local: collapse cross-generation logical dupes (role,ts,text,tool) keeping newest ordinal, BEFORE window fold, don't orphan boundaries, cross-gen only. Minted `REQ-DIGEST-GENERATION-SUPERSEDE` inactive; ruling doc docs/W3-DIGEST-GENERATION-UNION-RULING.md. DISPATCHED todlando (independent of PROMOTE-DRAINED — digest.rs vs brainproc.rs). Reply flynn after build.

**W3 EXECUTING (todlando 2026-07-07, doyle GO endpoint-survival-first).** doyle W2 verdict moved mechanic-d → W3 (minted REQ-UPDATE-PROMOTE-DRAINED, drained-condition + false-promote rig, binding activation cond). W3 REQs: FINISH-ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL, ONE-SHOT-FINISH, DAEMON-STOP-LIVE-SESSION-WARN, RC-RECONNECT-TRUTH, DAEMON-STDERR-PERSIST + PROMOTE-DRAINED.
- **SLICE 1 BUILT FOR GATE (docs/W3-SLICE1-REPORT.md, ping'd doyle):**
  - **ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL @049b2be** (field-accept unblocker, seed #6): one-shot `livehost::resume_restart_orphaned_endpoints` at fresh-broker live-host start (BEFORE phantom-clear reconcile) re-runs orphaned online spt-hosted harnesses from last ledger via shared `launch_ledger_resume` (extracted from resume_woken_endpoint Resume arm, tag DAEMON_RESTART). Pure `restart_resume_gate` + doyle's TWO BELTS: relay-exclusion (resolve_address None) + custody-pid-alive RefuseLivePid (dup guard, W4 seed #7 breadcrumb); controllable==Some(true) = spt-hosted (Q1 source-definitive info.rs:193-202, excludes user-terminal Some(false)/legacy None). Int endpoint_survival.rs (real broker on broker_socket_name, RED-first proven). **KEY: next daemon swap on this box brings live endpoints BACK — relevant to W1 field-accept swap window.**
  - **STDERR-PERSIST @32c789e** (RCA-blind fix): new spt-daemon::stderrlog redirects each process's OWN stderr FD to SPT_HOME/logs/daemon.stderr.log in-process (Win SetStdHandle / unix dup2, never piped — KH 5.6). Broker wired at cmd_daemon_run BEFORE null-guard (pipe-defense then sees safe file); brain at run_brain first line. Rotate-on-install 5MB→.1 keep2; within-gen appends (live-cap = follow-up).
  - Gates: clippy -p spt-daemon clean; livehost+endpoint_survival 21/21; stderrlog 4/4; traceable exit 0. Full-workspace sweep DEFERRED to wave-end/gate (broker.rs untouched slice 1).
- **STOP-LIVE-SESSION-WARN DONE @ff6ebeb**: `daemon stop` gained `--force`; cmd_daemon_stop queries live_hosted_session_ids (broker sessions()) and without --force REFUSES (exit 3) naming the sessions (reassures they come back on next start — composes w/ ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL). Pure stop_live_session_guard unit-matrixed. CLI change → xtask gen regenerated docs-site/src/cli/reference.md (xtask check OK, no internal codes). clippy -p spt clean, units green, traceable exit 0.
- **RC-RECONNECT-TRUTH DONE @3d632b9**: WMI auto-launch site PINNED = `establish_attach` (rc.rs:1360) called `spt_daemon::daemon::ensure_running()` → spawn_detached WMI ladder; the reconnect loop re-drives establish_attach → re-birthed the daemon each retry (the "stop 2-4 times" fight). FIX: establish_attach now CONNECT-ONLY — dropped ensure_running, added `EstablishFail::DaemonDown` (guard `if !is_running()`); broker cold-connect already deadline-bounded so a down daemon never hangs. Initial attach → loud "daemon isn't running — start it" exit. Reconnect banner (reconnect_banner_bytes, now takes remaining_secs) repaints each 1s with a live countdown; give-up branches to loud "session lost — daemon down" (PumpEnd::ReconnectGaveUp gained daemon_down: bool, only for LOCAL target via `remote_node.is_none() && !is_running()`). unit: reconnect_remaining_secs ceil (30..1, 0 past); banner countdown; give-up copy select. int: attach_against_stopped_daemon_never_spawns_and_exits_loud (is_running stays false = WMI-resurrection RED, bounded no-hang) + existing reheal int still green (SeedGuard keeps is_running true). 8 rc tests green, clippy clean, traceable +impl+unit+int. NO clap change → no xtask gen. Ping'd doyle for gate.
- **UPDATE-ONE-SHOT-FINISH DONE @e85da91** (composes on ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL): applyhost refactor — shared `prepare_apply` (verify/classify preamble) + `swap_and_record`, new `apply_staged_daemonless` (swap+record, NO broker touched) → new `ApplyStagedOutcome::AppliedDaemonless`. `cmd_update_apply(finish)` DROPPED ensure_daemon_announced (the old-broker-boot-pre-swap wart, cli.rs was ~4499): daemon UP → in-place brain handoff (apply_staged unchanged); daemon DOWN → daemonless swap, msg points at --finish/`daemon start`. New `update apply --finish` = daemonless swap → daemon RESTART (stop if up → wait !is_running (10s bound) → start) so BOTH broker+brain run new bytes, riding ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL (endpoints re-run, not massacre). Clap `Apply{finish:bool}`, public /// no internal codes. unit: apply_staged_daemonless swaps+records w/ NO broker served (RED: apply_staged blocks on connect_retry dead socket) + holds fail-closed gates; render_applied_daemonless_message + render_finish_message (no codes). 20 units green (12 applyhost + 8 cli), clippy --workspace clean, xtask gen+check OK (docs-drift+token), traceable exit 0. finish-restart survival leg covered by ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL int. required_stages=[impl,unit].
- **SLICE TEST+TRACEABLE PASS (todlando 2026-07-07, wave head @8931680):** full-workspace nextest surfaced ONE red — attach_wedge_e2e L4 teardown: STOP-LIVE-WARN (@ff6ebeb) gated on UNIT only, never ran the e2e daemon-stop sites, so its plain `daemon stop` (with wedge2 deliberately ONLINE) now hits DAEMON_STOP_REFUSED exit 3 → clean-exit assert fails. FIX @8931680: teardown intends the kill → pass `--force`, tag [int->REQ-DAEMON-STOP-LIVE-SESSION-WARN]. Grepped all 11 other plain-stop e2e sites — attach_wedge SOLE casualty (rest offline/suspend before stop). Re-ran --no-fail-fast: 1683/1683 passed, 1 skip, 6 leaky. traceable exit 0. **LESSON (memory [[behavior-change-grep-tests-not-comments]]): a contract-change commit that gates only on inline units skips the e2e blast radius — grep+run the e2e stop/verb sites too.** doyle caught up via branch, EARLY-REVIEWED slice (NO DRIFT, belts verified in restart_resume_gate, rc connect-only kills resurrect ladder, --finish composition correct); wave gate STAGED for PROMOTE-DRAINED landing = both legs + full sweep + xtask check (CARGO_TARGET_DIR unset, known xtask bug) + grep old rc auto-start assertions; signal wave head when d lands.
- **DIGEST-GENERATION-SUPERSEDE BUILT+PUSHED @7e37e37 (todlando 2026-07-07, wave head).** deployah dispatch @cde465a (flynn digest gen-union, doyle ruling docs/W3-DIGEST-GENERATION-UNION-RULING.md Option-1 Supersede); independent of PROMOTE-DRAINED (digest.rs vs brainproc.rs). ROOT: checkpoint/resume REPLAYS ancestor gen's transcript into the new session file → one logical row under two seq-gens (gen_old,localseq)+(gen_new,localseq) → exact-seq consumer dedup can't collapse → dupes in snapshot/--after (--follow from:0 clean, span is culprit). FIX (digest.rs): `supersede_cross_generation` pass over the RAW backbone BEFORE merge_by_ts + project_timeline (window counts real turns). `logical_key`=(role,ts,text,tool) NUL-joined; DigestRecord derives Eq so key==record fields. Pass1 newest ordinal (seq>>32) per key; Pass2 drop Activity whose ord < newest (equal-ord = real within-gen repeat, kept); Pass3 boundary kept only between two ≥1-row sessions (leading/trailing/consecutive trimmed, last-wins on consecutive).

No CLI change. Signaled deployah wave head + replied flynn (supersede shipped, one localseq→one row, no consumer change, input_seq==null sibling stays independent). LNK1285 corrupt-PDB recurred on nextest (attach+twohost bins) — wiped target/debug/incremental + named .pdb/.exe, CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0, cleared.

- **W3 GATED PASS + CLOSED + BLESSED (deployah relay, 2026-07-07) @e75e856. Verdict docs/W3-GATE-VERDICT.md. Both legs GREEN: Win 1692/1692 + kitsubito Linux 1680/1680, clippy/xtask/traceable clean. Both new REQs (digest-supersede + promote-drained) reviewed faithful. Release counter 49 BLOCKED on: deployah wake (parked, operator) + W1 field-accept swap window first. Milestone content DONE — W1+W2+W3 all built/gated. NEXT: on operator wake → deployah cuts 49 (rides W1 swap window: daemon restart brings live endpoints BACK via ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL @049b2be, delivers W1 field-accept + W2 live together); then W4 activation (seeds: SPAWN-COLLISION-GUARD-LIVE-DUP, HAZARD-LISTEN-ORPHAN + perri's SUPERVISOR-RELAY-RESPAWN adapter-side).**
- **REMAINING W3 — NONE. (history:)**
  1. **REQ-UPDATE-PROMOTE-DRAINED** (mechanic-d, ACTIVATABLE, LAST W3 — has GO from deployah "either order"). **JIT PLAN (todlando scoped 2026-07-07, NOT yet built — do in CLEAN context, milestone keystone = the 22:47 false-promote):**
     - **Promotion point PINNED:** `brainproc.rs` `supervise_brain` → `run_trial` returns `TrialStep::Promoted` when `env.ready_generation()==Some(generation)` (**brainproc.rs:604**, the ready-first check); caller then bytes-gates (KH 6.11) + calls `env.record_promoted(version)` (**brainproc.rs:734**). THAT is where a false-promote onto a still-wedged control plane happens.
     - **FIX shape:** add a DRAINED precondition. In `run_trial` LATCH ready-seen (don't demote a ready-then-exit child — preserve the line 602-606 semantics), then return `Promoted` only when `ready_seen && env.old_gen_drained()`. While ready-seen but NOT drained, keep polling to `deadline`; window-elapse (drain never came) → existing WindowElapsedAlive kill+rollback (conservative — never false-promote; W2 stall-evict bounds real drain to BRAIN_WRITE_DEADLINE=15s < SUPERVISE_HEALTHY_RUN window=30s, so normal case drains in-window). Guard `child.try_wait()` behind `!ready_seen` so ready-then-exit still promotes once drained.
     - **New `TrialEnv::old_gen_drained(&self)->bool`** (add to trait + NoTrialEnv=true/no-gate + ProductionTrialEnv): reads BROKER TRUTH, NO brain round-trip — the old-gen subscriber conn CLOSED or stall-EVICTED. SOURCE TBD (read next in clean ctx): W2 stall-evict tally (KIND_STALL_EVICTS / broker `stall_evicts` count) + the old conn's liveness. **OPEN Q for build:** how a brain GENERATION maps to a specific broker subscriber/controller conn — must identify "the OLD gen's conn" precisely (read broker.rs W2 stall-evict + controller/subscriber tracking, c9346c0 W2 core commit). NoTrialEnv returns drained=true (no gate where none needed, mirrors its other no-op effects).
     - **Int = FALSE-PROMOTE rig (RED-first):** exercise the promotion path with an old-gen subscriber conn held WEDGED past ready → must NOT promote until it drains. RED-first proof: ready-alone promotes (bypass the drained gate → promotes immediately with conn wedged). Model on brain_decouple.rs (W2 suspend-brain rig, REMOTE controller wedge) + brainproc unit harness (TrialEnv fakes — inject a fake whose old_gen_drained flips false→true, assert no promote until true).
     - Activate REQ-UPDATE-PROMOTE-DRAINED required_stages=[impl,unit,int] in work-start commit (rule 5). Closes the 15s W2 residual (KH 7.36, REQ-HAZARD-BROKER-VIEWER-BRAIN-DECOUPLE — W2 BOUNDED the window, this CLOSES it).
  Then: WAVE GATE — full-workspace nextest + Linux leg (doyle's/deployah's) + xtask check (CARGO_TARGET_DIR **unset**, known xtask bug) + grep old rc auto-start assertions (doyle's staged conditions). Signal deployah + doyle wave head @<promote-drained sha> + gate PASS. deployah: NO release until wave gate + doyle bless; **next cut = counter 49**.

**Gotchas this milestone:**
- W3 int gotcha: launch_harness_brokered_in + query_live_session_endpoints both target broker_socket_name() → int binds ONE real broker there + sets SPT_HOME temp. is_resume=true falls back to [session.self] when no [session.resume]. controllable=Some(true) seed pattern in inject_control_wedge.rs ~2862.
- POST-CRASH recovery: wipe target/debug/incremental on LNK1285 corrupt-PDB / corrupt-incremental-artifact (crash aftermath, not code); CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 for crash-safety. Fresh scratch CARGO_TARGET_DIR can't build aws-lc/ring (no NASM) — gate on main target.
- **Delivery-integrity (W5 REQ-INJECT-MULTILINE-INTEGRITY) is LIVE in our own dispatch traffic**: 4 instances in one night on the live-SENT leg (W1 report head-truncated, W2 proposal part-1 emptied to bare closing tag, flynn EVENT emptied, flynn's original 2-part bundle bodyless). live-SENT leaves NO spool copy — unrecoverable. **BINDING workaround: anything > a few lines rides a FILE committed to the branch; spt send carries only the pointer.**
- **W4 evidence (perri diagnosis, 2026-07-07)**: flynn's dead delivery likely = seed #7 dup --resume spawn → collision teardown ripped the SURVIVING session's poll stream (KH 2.1 shape); flynn record pids = the dead dup. Unexplained rider: flynn info.json rest_state:'active' (unique among live agents; ruled OUT as delivery gate — deployah lacks it, same symptom; possibly mobile-gw, host churned 8 boots 08:56-09:12Z). Perri queued flynn self-revive + re-probe; deployah needs same or operator wake. Feed all into W4 activation. NOTE: perri's diagnosis message itself arrived head-truncated at doyle — truncation defect (b) hits diagnosis traffic too.
- **SPLIT-ROOT finding (2026-07-07 ~09:46)**: the "eaten" W2 parts arrived HOURS LATE, flushing into doyle's perch the instant perri's idle-inject probe woke the delivery drain — parked, NOT lost. Two distinct defects: (a) parked-idle sleep, flushed by inbound activity on the receiving perch (REQ-IDLE-PARKED-DELIVERY — wake trigger now observed clean); (b) genuine truncation/empty-body on live-SENT (REQ-INJECT-MULTILINE-INTEGRITY — head-loss may be the flush boundary of (a), unconfirmed). Perri running operator-tasked idle-delivery diagnosis (probe 094617); briefed with the timeline. **Perri #9 measurements — 3-point invariant CONFIRMED**: head_lost 977/989/970 (spread 19B), totals 1299/1636/1266, suffixes 322/647/296 (all triples sum exactly). Suffix varies, LOST HEAD constant.
- **W5 PRIME SUSPECT (doyle source-dive 2026-07-07)**: envelopes >400B CHUNK — spt-proto chunk.rs `EVENT_LINE_THRESHOLD=400` (:35) splits into `<EVENT-PART seq=K/N id=8hex>` lines (REQ-HAZARD-EVENTPART-REASSEMBLY). Part budgets: fixed overhead 55; non-first body slot 345; first slot = 400−56−attrs_len (321 for from=perri, 318 for from=todlando). - **THIRD inject failure mode (operator-observed 2026-07-07)**: message typed INTO the TUI input field but Enter never injected (or overlapped a ctrl+s) — text sat unsubmitted until operator pressed enter manually. Delivery modes now: (a) parked-idle sleep, (b) pre-settle byte-window swallow, (c) enter-keypress loss. All three = W5 inject-leg scope; perri's raw-capture slot math (60B first tag/36B non-first/13B close, 3 slots = 1011) ground-truthed.
**ROOT FINAL (5-point, verbatim-line verified)**: swallow = **raw typed-STREAM byte window ~1148-1152B incl line framing** on the inject leg, terminal-side, pre-settle — NOT a part-count. Cuts MID-part-3 body (escaped head-loss 992/990/988/992 = 321+345+~326; ~19-23B part-3 tail survives → all receive-side artifacts start mid-word, never at a part boundary). Slot math verified against perri's verbatim seq=1/4 line: first-part body slot EXACTLY 321 (attrs seq/id/type/from only, nothing hidden); non-first 345. W5 fix direction: instrument inject pre-settle window; settle-before-type or ack-paced parts. **INTERIM PROTOCOL fleet-wide: sub-400B sends (unchunked) or file transport.** Msg envelope framing = 34+len(from); body-escape \n→`<br>` +3B each.
- Flynn relay revived (backlog flushed on re-listen) BUT doyle's fresh probe still QUEUED — perri confirmed: revive was a ONE-SHOT drain, persistent listener leg never re-armed (matches her scratch phase-C rig divergence: rig had a real child listener). Levers: endpoint bounce or W4 watchdog. Deployah still parked, operator's call.
- **W4 activation ruling must fold in (perri's adapter belt — SHIPPED v0.15.6)**: live/ready.md spt-hosted do-not-arm branch (released) + REQ-SUPERVISOR-RELAY-RESPAWN (minted INACTIVE adapter-side, awaits doyle's W4 ruling) + her detection-lever design question (relay death silent in-session). Core braces = the listen-orphan watchdog itself. Also in v0.15.6: dangling-frame marker (KH §2.9 @347f755) released. Seed #9 measurement arc CLOSED both sides (slot math ground-truthed; perri's PC crash lost old probe part — not needed).
- Gate-rig gotchas (doyle): worktree .worktrees/gate-4c1573b dir removal blocked post-sweep ("Device or resource busy" on crates/spt-daemon; git metadata pruned, dir inert — retry later). $OWL new-alarm DEAD for modern-spt endpoints ([[alarm-every-test-run]]) — Bash background sleep-timer = the wedge backstop now.
- REQ-IDLE-PARKED-DELIVERY root observed live: sends QUEUED to an already-idle endpoint sleep forever (doyle's GO sat undelivered rows in my spool; doyle had to resend + poke).
- ceremony_offset_state one-lock cosmetic PARKED (lives in ntp.rs; W1 touched lifecycle.rs/echo.rs/runtime.rs — not adjacent).
- W2 int = suspend-brain rig (NtSuspendProcess / SIGSTOP twin). No [twohost] this milestone; REQ-JOIN-DEFERRED-ELEVATION int earmark does NOT activate.

**W3 PREP (read-only seam map, todlando 2026-07-07 while doyle gates W2 — NOT built, awaiting W2 close + scope confirm):** REQ-UPDATE-FINISH-ENDPOINT-SURVIVAL (field-accept unblocker + seed #6). livehost.rs `reconcile_once` ALREADY re-hosts online endpoints (start-side, status=online) + has `resume_woken_endpoint` (re-runs the harness from the last ledger session, gated rest_state==Active). The daemon-restart-massacre gap is NARROWER than "no rehost": previously-ONLINE spt-hosted endpoints (not resting) whose HARNESS process (claude) dies with the daemon need the same harness re-run — reconcile's start-side hosts only the pulse DRIVER (host_one), not the harness itself. Fix per doyle scope ruling = daemon start RE-RUNS previously-online endpoints marked start-reason=daemon-restart, likely extending resume_woken_endpoint / the start-side to cover the online-harness-died case (resume from last ledger, mind rides psyche re-host). OPEN before build: confirm what daemon STOP does to info.json status (online-stale vs flip-offline) — determines which reconcile branch the dead-harness endpoint lands in.

**W4 BUILT (todlando 2026-07-07, wave head @e09ba21) — gate requested (doyle; todlando pinged deployah by mistake, redirected):** SPAWN-COLLISION-GUARD-LIVE-DUP (broker-side single-flight wake claim at dispatch_spawn, ruling1 — seed #7 dup --resume) + HAZARD-LISTEN-ORPHAN (parent-pid poll watchdog, exit loud, ruling2 — flynn one-shot-drain fix). Local gate GREEN: nextest 1696/1696, xtask OK, clippy all-targets clean, traceable +impl+unit[+int]. Both RED-first proven. Report docs/W4-WAVE-GATE-REPORT.md. Linux leg pending (doyle). deployah: counter-49 cut waits on operator GO + W1 swap window; W4 rides in if blessed before cut.
