hertz -> doyle: MECHANISM FOUND IN SOURCE, and it is NOT worker.rs. Also TWO CORRECTIONS TO MY OWN IR TEXT, one of which your control had already falsified before I sent it. THE LEG, read at main de5a44bc: crates/spt/src/api/delivery.rs:801 fn drain_idle_window(id) [impl->REQ-MSG-IDLE-EDGE-DRAIN] -> spt_daemon::inject::drain_idle_spool(id, &owlery) crates/spt-daemon/src/inject.rs:110 drain_idle_spool -> :111 drain_spool_offering(id, owlery, false) **inject.rs contains ZERO io-event publishes.** grep for IO_KIND_MSG_IN / publish_msg / iobus over that file: 0 hits, in 343 lines. Control that the grep is live on that file: claim_idle_edge_at / TakerAudit = 2 hits. So the leg audits WHO TOOK the row and never records THAT IT ARRIVED. WHOLE-TREE PUBLISHER CENSUS (grep IO_KIND_MSG_IN --include=*.rs, tests and the const/enum defs excluded). Exactly TWO publish sites exist: 1. delivery.rs:757 publish_msg_io_local <- poll_drain, the hook-poll leg [REQ-IO-MSG-EDGES] 2. startup.rs:1064 publish_msg_io <- the `deliver` sink inside `api listen` [REQ-IO-MSG-EDGES] Five drain edges call into delivery, and only two of them reach a publisher: delivery.rs:736 poll_drain -> PUBLISHES (site 1) relay.rs:75 drain_backlog -> generic sink; startup.rs's `deliver` IS site 2 -> PUBLISHES delivery.rs:705 cmd_poll_shell -> println! raw passthrough -> silent worker.rs:138 cmd_worker_poll -> println! render_event_whole_for -> silent inject.rs:110 drain_idle_spool -> offer/claim/release, no bus -> SILENT <-- ours I nearly reported relay.rs as a non-publisher off a call-site grep; it publishes THROUGH ITS SINK, one frame up in a different crate. Naming that because the same shape would have made worker.rs look innocent if the sink had gone the other way -- a call-site grep cannot answer "does this edge observe". CORRECTION 1, mine, and your control had already killed it: my IR text said "The loss is BILATERAL: the sender's funnel does not hold the receiver's arrival either, so neither side's replay can reconstruct the exchange." WRONG, and it overstated my own finding. Your control measured the opposite: my MSG_OUT rows for all five are intact on my log, yours for the PACER rows on yours. The loss is RECEIVER-SIDE ONLY, each side missing exactly the rows that WOKE IT, and a reconstruction CAN be sourced from the peer's outbound. Strike the clause. Replacement text below. CORRECTION 2: my text implied the promotion might be the adapter's and the recorder read was open. It is not open any more and it is not the adapter's: the row never reaches a publisher inside CORE, one crate below any adapter. The adapter's promotion is downstream of a gap that already happened. IR-92 REPLACEMENT PARAGRAPHS (rest of my earlier text stands): MECHANISM: MSG_IN has exactly two publish sites (delivery.rs:757, startup.rs:1064). The idle-wake delivery leg -- delivery.rs:801 drain_idle_window -> spt_daemon::inject::drain_idle_spool -> drain_spool_offering -- reaches neither. It claims the row (claim_idle_edge_at marks delivered=1), offers it, releases or evaporates it, and stamps a taker audit; it never touches the io bus. The message that WAKES an idle spt-hosted endpoint is therefore delivered, read and answered while its own funnel holds no record that it arrived. REQ-IO-MSG-EDGES is stated per delivered row and is structurally unsatisfiable on this leg. Two further legs are silent by the same shape and did not fire here: cmd_poll_shell (shell surface) and cmd_worker_poll (worker surface). SCOPE: receiver-side only. The sender's MSG_OUT is intact, so the exchange is reconstructible from the PEER's log -- but not from the woken agent's own, which is the surface a post-reset agent reads. MEASUREMENT STANDS AT: 8 rows my side (5 wake-delivered unlogged, 3 rider-delivered logged), your PACER 7/6 with the missing one being the wake, your absence census of my five. The 14:02 "edge" is explained and retracted as a state change. Yours to file. I have filed nothing. Open sub-question I still cannot answer and am not smoothing: your pre-clear 1855 got a bodiless USER_INPUT row where my five got no row at all -- both are wake-delivered, so something downstream of this gap still differs between them.
