(hertz v0.39.0 field RCA 2026-07-21, doyle re-grounded at source.) OBSERVED: the published adapter sequence `api bind` then identity-preserving `api listen --session-id` produces a self-contradictory live record — controlled=true AND controllable=false on a broker-hosted PTY endpoint — which controlled-precedence masks blue while attached and which a DETACH then unmasks as amber HARNESS ONLY. Detach is not the root; it only reveals the bad stamp. SOURCE: api/startup.rs passes controllable=Some(false) UNCONDITIONALLY on the relay/listen path (~191-195, reasoning 'the harness owns the process, so there is no broker PTY'), and establish_perch resolves controllable = controllable.or_else(|| prior…) (~379) — explicit wins, so that Some(false) OVERWRITES the Some(true) an earlier `api bind` EARNED. The carry-forward discipline that protects cwd/adapter/rest_state does not protect this field precisely BECAUSE the listen path is not silent about it.

Design assumption 're-fired on the next SessionStart if needed' does not hold for long-lived sessions. FIX (perri-recommended, cleanest): `api listen --session-id <sid>` fallback that binds from the session-id when the pid has no live seed — removes the ephemeral-seed dependency entirely (the adapter already knows the sid; the skill passes it, and can then DROP its manual re-seed step). Alternative (option 1, less clean): re-fire the seed on daemon restart. Gate: a session with NO live seed (expired / post-daemon-restart) binds via `listen --session-id <sid>` (no NO_SEED); the sid-bind carries the same identity/auth the seed-bind would (session_id custody — kin REQ-PSYCHE-SID-CUSTODY / the sid-symmetric-auth pattern).

REQ-STREAM-LIFETIME-CLASS title RESCOPED at W2 activation 2026-07-22 (doyle verify-first, C3-retirement precedent): the CLEAN-CASE chain this REQ was minted for is ALREADY SHIPPED under REQ-STREAM-LEASE-CLASSES / ADR-0040 decision 6, verified against @7c0f12d — StreamLifetime is opener-declared and on the wire, serde-default Durable so N-1 openers keep exact today-semantics (msg.rs:810-836 + the additive-wire unit @msg.rs:1408); rc attach/view is the SOLE ConnectionBound opener (attach.rs:667-677); the broker binds the class at open (broker.rs:5689) and nethost carries it per StreamEntry (nethost.rs:1059-1076); the conn-exit sweep FINs each ConnectionBound stream toward its target and terminal-retires the local row while Durable rows never enter it (broker.rs:4118-4123/4227-4235/4429-4446); the target's serve_attach EOF arm runs detach_session_gen(serve_gen) so controller/viewer stamps clear on exactly one generation (attach.rs:580-597); the late-close gen guard (broker.rs:2179-2192, unit @8416) and converge_perch_stamps close the race; int coverage rides endpoint_lifecycle.rs:241.

It currently says 'pass --adapter <name[:profile]>', but --adapter is a `spt api` GROUP flag, NOT a `listen` flag — following the hint literally (`spt api listen <id> --adapter <name>`) produces clap `error: unexpected argument '--adapter'` (exit 2). Fix: the hint prints the group-level form, e.g. `spt api --adapter <name> <cmd> …` (a hint the operator can copy-paste and have work). Gate: the ADAPTER_UNRESOLVED message text carries a clap-VALID invocation (group-level --adapter placement) — a unit asserting the hint string parses under the api clap grammar, or at minimum places --adapter before the subcommand.

ROOT: stamp_creation_fields (spt-store/home.rs) gave the incoming BIND-TIME adapter value UNCONDITIONAL precedence (`rec.adapter = adapter.map(...).or_else(prior)`), but a hook bind resolves the adapter ADAPTER-AGNOSTICALLY (ADR-0021: a binary basename → the BARE parent, profile unknowable), so the first hook bind rewrote the richer `claude-spt:ccs` → `claude-spt`. (F-028's establish_perch self-heal widened how often this re-stamps; the precedence is the root.)

ROOT: the picker's resume_outcome (model.rs:1285) bakes adapter=ep.adapter_profile from the selected ENDPOINT, ignoring the ledger row — so a resume always uses the endpoint's CURRENT adapter even when the session ran under a different one; and the endpoint's info.adapter is never re-stamped to the row's on the resume path (cli.rs:1962 skeleton writer early-returns for an existing perch — adapter immutable, carried by bind's stamp_creation_fields).

FIELD CHAIN, verified: GRAVITY-NVDA-PC (f15d837b, BIGNET) runs pre-0.40.0 spt, whose legacy producer mints the update notice SUBNET-scoped with NO coalesce key (the scoped+keyed producer shipped in 0.40.0). The row replicated fleet-wide. The modern catch-up dismissal (REQ-NOTIF-SEAM-DISMISS, pump/update.rs dismiss_staged_notif_if_caught_up) dismisses ONLY by coalesce key, so a keyless row can never be retired by it: a FULLY-UPDATED node holds a live 'v0.41.0 available' row forever, surfacing once per endpoint at every boundary (observed: todlando ~19:54 + Librarian/Athenaeum-Library; store showed seen=2, undismissed, the only undismissed update row in the whole history).

FIX: pass a Win32_ProcessStartup with CreateFlags=DETACHED_PROCESS (0x8 — no console so no window; CREATE_NO_WINDOW 0x08000000 is NOT a valid Win32_ProcessStartup flag → ReturnValue 21 invalid-param, which is why the naive port fails) + ShowWindow=SW_HIDE(0) belt, via the ProcessStartupInformation argument.

Retire terminal rows from the enumeration the dispatcher claims from (remove, or lifecycle-exclude), preserving only the post-EOF state genuinely needed by other readers (presence/log reads); bounded growth replaces forever-discoverable rows. Clearing the whole table on brain restart is REJECTED (destroys live streams' reconstruction facts). Gate: impl — the retirement path; unit — a finished stream is invisible to the dispatch enumeration while an active one stays claimable + post-EOF reader state survives retirement; doc — rides ADR-0038 + the triage doc.

ROOT/SCOPE (doyle proposed, P1c gate dialogue): P1c fixes REQ-HAZARD-CONTROLLER-WRITER-REORDER three ways (handoff single-take + epoch-gate-under-lock + session_cursors seed), removing the one decreasing-floor double-take and bounding any other to already-committed-only. A self-enforcing broker guard would refuse the bad SHAPE outright. BLOCKER: the obvious predicate (`from_seq >= delivered_through`) is UNSAFE because `delivered_through` is SESSION-WIDE (the `Arc<AtomicU64>` on `OutputLog`, shared by all controllers/viewers, advanced monotonic-MAX; `resume_seq` reads it) — a normal fresh-operator `from_seq=0` attach to a producing session legitimately sits below it (full ring replay + consumer dedup-below/snap-above), and monotonic-MAX can't distinguish the hazard (a `seq1`-without-`seq0` write reads as `2`).

ROOT (proven 3/3-FAIL via our exact code on enlyzeam): today `UdpSocket::bind(("0.0.0.0",0))` is v4-only and `send_to(&packet, server)` sends ONLY to the FIRST resolved addr — time.google.com resolves 4×AAAA before any A on a v6-first dual-stack box → the primary server is PERMANENTLY unreachable via our code (w32tm reaches it over v6), silently halving NTP redundancy (pool.ntp.org v4 carried everything; a DNS rotation making BOTH v6-first would zero it). Fix keeps the lazy-cache/TTL/fallback contract of REQ-PAIR-8 unchanged — only the socket/resolve leg changes. doc REQ-STREAM-LEASE-CLASSES title REGISTRY-LIFECYCLE W2 (ADR-0040 decision 6 + ADR-0041, emphasys C2 P0): streams declare a lifetime class at open — RC attach/view streams are ConnectionBound (opener conn EOF means the target sees FIN, serve_attach runs detach_session, controller slot + CONTROLLED stamps clear — a dead viewer can never pin a controller across its own connection death; today the raw-closed viewport attach stream is restart-durable forever); inter-brain streams stay Durable (NEVER globally retire on Brain disconnect — brain-swap correctness depends on it). Late-close identity validated (stale opener A close cannot evict newer controller B — rides ADR-0038 Amendment fix-6 generation tokens + W1 seat teardown machinery; same neighborhood, built once per the standing C2 coordination ruling). Lifetime class = additive open field, absent = Durable (N-1 openers keep exact current semantics). Gate: impl — class at open + ConnectionBound EOF chain; unit — class routing + absent-defaults-Durable + late-close identity refusal; int — raw viewport close frees the controller full-chain incl. across broker restart, brain_swap/daemon_refresh/redispatch legs stay green; doc — ADR-0040/0041. doc Decision: <!-- --> 1. **One-way (fire-and-forget) stream families are terminal at FIN, sender-side.** The registry feed pump retires its own row after successful write+FIN via the existing `net-stream-retire` verb (best-effort on N-1 brokers, per ADR-0038 A). A one-way family's exchange is definitionally over at FIN; keeping the row eligible reproduces the O(history) defect forever. 2. **Eligibility filtering is server-side.** `stream_infos` excludes `initiated_locally` rows (alongside `retired`) before serializing.

Hazard class: delivery starvation. Without this, cross-node and post-active messages to an spt-hosted perch strand indefinitely whenever the adapter's hooks are quiet (idle session, no user turns), presenting as 'sent but never lands' with a healthy binary and an idle perch (F-023).

FIX: daemon-side self-heal — the advertiser DROPS/forgets a LOCAL roster entry whose backing perch no longer exists (stops advertising it Active), and/or a `forget`/evict verb; verify whether the epoch lease eventually evicts it (slow-self-heal) vs a real leak and scope accordingly. doyle secondary finding (perri).

Public wording, no internal CODE:RESULT markers (composes with REQ-ADAPTER-UPDATE-MESSAGE / the update-apply-confident-message rule) — name the user-visible CONSEQUENCE ('daemon-coordinated features run the previous version until the daemon restarts'), not the broker/brain internals.

KEYSTONE — the operator's central 'attach shows no output' symptom, reproduced on the real dummy-harness fixture (v0.12.1 Wave 1) with NO death and NO wedge: bringup succeeds (online, harness pid alive + heartbeating, psyche hosted), the attach CONNECTS (PUMP_IPC_READER spawned, no RC_FAIL, holds the full window) — but receives EXACTLY 0 bytes over 10s of the harness's flushed [session.self] stdout. DISTINCT from REQ-HAZARD-VIEWER-CLOSE-DETACH (death) and REQ-HAZARD-ATTACH-WEDGE (dead-child backpressure): here the harness is ALIVE and the attach is a clean first subscribe. This BLOCKS the 'view is independent' invariant — re-attach is meaningless if a live endpoint-run harness shows nothing. KNOWN-GOOD (rules out 'no drain'): 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 over the SAME transport rc uses.
