The stamp is sourced from the session-proven path (`roster::detect_self_id` / the bound perch), NEVER from the caller-supplied `--from`: cli.rs `resolve_from` lets an explicit `--from` win over session detection, which is exactly why KNOWN-HAZARDS 7.5 binds `from` as reply-routing metadata and never an authorization subject. `from` is untouched and keeps its meaning; this is an addition, never a repurposing. TRUST BOUNDARY, stated so no later reader inflates \"authenticated sender\": the stamp proves the origin NODE cryptographically (QUIC handshake); the endpoint WITHIN that node is asserted by the sending daemon; strength therefore equals REQ-MSG-6's ratified boundary (trust = subnet membership, node = human-proxy).

MEASURED (perri, this node, 2026-07-26, three read-only whoami calls from a genuine descendant of the perri host process): (1) all SPT_*/OWL_* scrubbed \u2192 id null, exit 1 \u2014 ancestry resolved nothing (caveat honored from the probe: the perch's recorded pid was not in the caller's chain, so this run refutes lineage-as-the-mechanism for probe v1 without disproving a lineage path in general); (2) inherited SPT_ENDPOINT_ID=perri + explicit OWL_SESSION_ID matching no perch \u2192 perri, exit 0 \u2014 the mismatch datum was IN HAND (core had already scanned and failed to match the explicit sid) and the ambient id won anyway; (3) real OWL_SESSION_ID with endpoint id scrubbed \u2192 correct self \u2014 the healthy path any fix must leave untouched. SCOPE OF THE REFUSAL, ruled: only sid-PRESENT-AND-UNMATCHED poisons the fallback, and it poisons ALL weaker legs (b SPT_AGENT_ID, b2 SPT_ENDPOINT_ID, c pid-ancestry) \u2014 an explicit failed claim outranks every ambient claim below it; sid-ABSENT/empty keeps today's full chain unchanged, because the leg-b2 field root (live-repro'd 2026-07-10: the adapter surfaces OWL_SESSION_ID to the session shell as an UNEXPORTED var, so the child process legitimately carries endpoint id without sid) is exactly the flow the guard must not break \u2014 that flow is sid-absent, never sid-mismatched. WHY CORE AND NOT ONLY THE ADAPTER: the measured entry path is closed adapter-side (perri's REQ-HAZARD-INHERITED-IDENTITY-ADOPTION @ their a7558aa + claude-spt KNOWN-HAZARDS 7.4, shipped: whoami child calls scrub SPT_ENDPOINT_ID/SPT_AGENT_ID; rig discipline now detached AND env-scrubbed \u2014 the scrub is the operative half), but the inconsistency being fixed is CORE'S: the adapter fastpath's verified_env_id REFUSES an inherited SPT_ENDPOINT_ID on carrier-proof mismatch (carrier sid != payload sid) and core's fallback then RE-GRANTS what that layer just refused \u2014 one layer's refusal must not be another layer's grant, and every other harness/adapter gets the defense only if core holds it. SEVERITY UPGRADE recorded at mint: unlike the KH 7.1\u20137.3 shapes (lost reads), this adoption was WRITE-CAPABLE in the field \u2014 the adopting descendant re-pointed the ANCESTOR's session pin, so the ancestor went dark while the descendant looked healthy (perri's own pin, probe v1). KIN, same review same milestone: leg (b) SPT_AGENT_ID returns UNCONDITIONALLY today \u2014 not even perch-checked, weaker than leg b2's bound-perch gate; align it when this lands. MEASURED on the live node, not just code-read (perri, same probe run, reported 2026-07-26): SPT_AGENT_ID=nobody-xyz with a bogus OWL_SESSION_ID returned {'id':'nobody-xyz','ready':false,'alive':true,'unbound':false}, exit 0 \u2014 a phantom identity for an endpoint that does not exist, beating both the sid leg and ancestry; the returned shape has no state key and ready:false but a populated id, and the adapter parser takes .id first, so a whoami-trusting adapter writes state under the phantom \u2014 the same write-capable class as the inherited-adoption case, sourced from a made-up name instead of a real ancestor. perri's adapter scrub covers SPT_AGENT_ID as well as SPT_ENDPOINT_ID for exactly this reason. POSTURE UNCHANGED: whoami legs remain from-label/routing only, never authentication (KH 7.3/7.5, F-024 stays parked) \u2014 refusal tightens label discipline, it promotes nothing to auth.

START TRIGGER declared in the manifest: start = 'boot' or start = 'bind'; supervised identically once running, with the wake-watcher scaffolding (backoff, give-up latch, one-per-instance lock, orphan-kill, brain-side reconcile) minus the offline-only flip. 'boot' is DESIRED-STATE-RUNNING, not an event: the supervisor reconciles a boot service toward running at EVERY opportunity \u2014 daemon boot, ADAPTER REGISTRATION while the daemon is live (operator addition 2026-07-26: installing or registering an adapter whose manifest declares a boot service starts it THEN \u2014 spt itself is never restarted to bring a new adapter's service up), update-hold release, and first shell bind as the defensive ensure.

CARDINALITY: one supervised instance per registered adapter-option `<adapter>[:profile]` (consumer-confirmed as COHERENT TARGET SHAPE \u2014 flynn's precision, 2026-07-26: not exercisable by the first consumer until per-option config dirs exist; alchemy today has one config dir and daemon.toml carries exactly one guild_id); the adapter may keep its own kernel file lock as a private double-start guard \u2014 core neither reads nor depends on it. PER-OPTION IDENTITY IS THREADED (flynn's gap, accepted): the supervisor passes the adapter-option name and the per-option runtime dir into the service's spawn environment, so an adapter can scope its private guard AND its config per option \u2014 the mechanism that makes two-options-two-services deliverable rather than merely permitted. Without it, two options resolving one adapter config dir produce the silent flap flynn derived: instance two exits immediately on the kernel lock, core sees only start-then-die, and crash-relaunch backoff is CORRECT behavior against that observation \u2014 two correct components disagreeing about the unit. UPDATE IS A FIRST-CLASS SUPERVISOR OPERATION WITH AN EXPLICIT HOLD: quiesce -> hold (stopped and NEVER relaunched while held) -> bits swap -> start new bits -> release; adapter update-apply performs this ordered operation; crash-relaunch with backoff applies ONLY when not held. The forcing case is structural, not advisory (flynn, argued against their own convenience): an eager relaunch during a swap re-pins the OLD exe mid-deploy (Windows exe lock), converting a diagnosable os-error-5 into an unwinnable race \u2014 if delivery must sequence, the hold ships FIRST and a dead service stays dead until told otherwise (the STALE-ONLINE no-spontaneous-relaunch ruling, same reason, one layer down). FAST-EXIT IS A CONFIGURATION FAULT, NOT A CRASH: consecutive immediate exits (exit within a startup threshold, N in a row) trip the give-up latch EARLY with a distinct loud STARTUP_FAULT diagnostic carrying the captured early stderr \u2014 a double-start lock conflict then reads as the configuration fault it is, never as a silently flapping service ground through backoff. QUIESCE IS COOPERATIVE EXIT + DEADLINE: the supervisor places a stop-request marker (a file in the service's runtime dir \u2014 polling services observe it on their next cycle; no inbox exists or is added); the service exits WHEN SAFE and the kernel-observed exit IS the ack \u2014 'not ready' is expressed by not-yet-exiting, so no busy record exists to go stale in either direction; a manifest-declared grace deadline (default ~30s) bounds the wait, then force-kill. Delay possible, veto never. An OPTIONAL advisory status line may surface in service status display \u2014 never consulted for decisions. LIVENESS IS DERIVED, NEVER RECORDED: the supervisor is the parent and holds the child handle (exit is kernel-observed); no supervisor-maintained running-record exists (the v0.43.0 stale-online lesson applied one layer down \u2014 flynn's condition, structural here). Any status/version identity surface keeps the locked-file split lesson: never require reading a file the service holds an exclusive OS lock on (Windows). CLI INVOCATION CAPABILITY (consumer-blocking, non-negotiable per flynn): the supervisor threads the environment so the service can invoke the spt CLI (`spt send` et al., identityless cli@node from-label, durable spooling per ADR-0002) \u2014 if a supervised Hub cannot shell out to spt send, node-wide Watch delivery dies silently. ADDRESSING: none \u2014 a service needing a two-way agent-facing surface has one at its adapter's endpoint/shell layer (the alchemy layering argument that re-scoped ADR-0023's faceless-service rejection); AlwaysOnEndpoint (REQ-EP-8) = this substrate + the addressable front. Gate at activation (all legs against a MOCK service adapter \u2014 the gate never depends on the first consumer being the boot specimen): int \u2014 a manifest [service start='boot'] binary rises with the daemon job-neutrally, a registration of that manifest against an ALREADY-LIVE daemon starts the service without any restart, survives a shell teardown of the same adapter (tree-kill does not reach it), a held update swaps bits with zero relaunch races (hold observed under a concurrent crash), quiesce marker -> cooperative exit within grace, deadline -> force-kill on a wedged mock, a mock that exits instantly N consecutive times surfaces STARTUP_FAULT (not a backoff flap), and the service successfully invokes spt send from its supervised environment. ACTIVATED FOR W1 2026-07-26 WITH THE FOLLOWING BUILD RULINGS FOLDED IN (doyle; constraints live in the artifact, not the dispatch thread). VERB SURFACE: the operator-facing verbs are `spt adapter service list` (all registered options + derived state) and `spt adapter service status <adapter[:profile]>`, nested under the ADAPTER group \u2014 NOT a bare `spt service`. Reason: 'service' is ALREADY public surface carrying an unrelated meaning \u2014 the platform daemon-service abstraction (REQ-DAEMON-6/-8, `crates/spt-daemon/src/service.rs`: the systemd user unit vs the Windows at-logon task) surfaces in `spt daemon` help as 'registered OS service' / 'managed service' / 'the managing service label'. Ownership-scoping separates the two meanings permanently: the OS-service is the DAEMON's and lives under `spt daemon`; the resident service is the ADAPTER's and lives under `spt adapter`. ADR-0049's 'service status display' means `spt adapter service status`; the W1 PR carries a one-line ADR errata note. GIVE-UP LATCH SCOPE: the latch suppresses relaunch grinding until something plausibly changed \u2014 it is NOT a durable verdict. Cleared by exactly three events: (1) DAEMON BOOT \u2014 desired-state-running enumerates boot as a reconcile opportunity with NO latch exception, and the re-trip is bounded (N fast exits) and LOUD (STARTUP_FAULT re-fires each boot); an in-memory per-daemon-lifetime latch is an acceptable implementation, and if the durable-marker scaffolding is reused then boot clears the marker; (2) ADAPTER RE-REGISTRATION \u2014 declared intent that manifest/config changed, reconciling immediately; (3) UPDATE-HOLD RELEASE \u2014 new bits invalidate the fault evidence. NOT cleared by the first-shell-bind ensure: a bind changes nothing about the service's config, so the bind-time reconcile SKIPS latched services \u2014 otherwise ordinary shell use converts the latch into the very flap it exists to stop. The REJECTED alternative is recorded deliberately: a durable latch with explicit-clear-only leaves an operator's already-fixed config fault sitting behind a service that stays dead and quiet forever \u2014 loud-bounded beats quiet-permanent (the heal-assigns-owner-never-closes shape one layer down). SANCTIONED BUT NOT W1-REQUIRED: `spt adapter service restart <adapter[:profile]>` as the explicit manual clear+reconcile \u2014 take it into W1 only if cheap once the verb group exists; the three automatic clears ARE the requirement. REGISTRATION-TIME START IS A WIRE OP: `registry::register` runs in the CLI PROCESS (`crates/spt/src/cli.rs`, the adapter-add and adapter-update call sites), so it cannot itself start anything in the daemon \u2014 registration-starts-the-service structurally requires ONE new adapter-scoped daemon IPC op, semantically `AdapterServiceReconcile { adapter }` (exact spelling matched to house op style where it lands), which the CLI calls after a SUCCESSFUL register on BOTH paths when the daemon is reachable. The daemon handler runs THE SAME reconcile code path as boot / hold-release / bind \u2014 ONE reconcile function taking an opportunity discriminant, never a second start authority. The response is a per-option outcome list (started / already-running / held / latched / bind-deferred / startup-fault) so the CLI prints honest per-option text. Daemon NOT reachable: registration STILL SUCCEEDS \u2014 never a refusal \u2014 and the CLI prints a REQUIRED notice that the service is declared, the daemon is not running, and it will come up at the next daemon boot. That notice is CONTRACT, not courtesy. RUNTIME-DIR ENCODING: cardinality is per adapter-option, so the option name becomes a PATH component and `:` is illegal in a Windows path. Core NEVER uses the raw option string as a path component \u2014 every construction site goes through ONE shared encoder, and that encoding MUST BE INJECTIVE (a lossless escape, never a strip/replace that can collide). Two distinct options mapping to one runtime dir means two services sharing a quiesce-marker namespace: the silent flap one layer down. The unit gate MUST include a collision-adversarial pair (e.g. if `:` maps to `_`, then `a:b` and `a_b` must remain distinct). MODULE PLACEMENT: the supervisor lands as `servicehost.rs` (the established `*host` convention \u2014 shellhost, harnesshost, linkhost, applyhost); `service.rs` is untouched and BOTH module headers cross-reference the other meaning of 'service'. INSTALL-DIR RESOLUTION RIDES W1 (operator-requested via flynn, ruled in after code verification): the `[service]` spawn resolves its binary through the EXISTING REQ-INSTALL-11 helper \u2014 the same primitive, NO parallel resolution path \u2014 and the same wiring lands at the two shell-family fill sites, which today resolve NEITHER the install-dir program token NOR `{adapter_dir}`. Without it a `--release`-installed shell adapter registers but cannot spawn (bare token \u2192 os error 2; `{adapter_dir}/x` \u2192 'no value for substitution key'), released shell adapters need a hand-maintained per-node manifest, `spt adapter update` on them is a permanent no-op, and THIS req's hold/swap/start ceremony would be exercisable by MOCK ONLY \u2014 never by the named first consumer. Site census discharged BEFORE build (authoritative grep, cfg(test) excluded, accepted by doyle): the production template-fill sites are `shellhost.rs::fill_spawn_command` and `shellwake.rs::fill_wake_command` (both targets \u2014 threading not shape, since the wake caller already holds `AdapterRecord.source_dir`, which IS the install dir), plus `harnesshost.rs` session `role.command`, which is OUT OF SCOPE and already resolves correctly through `resolve_program_in_dir`. Scope guard: shell spawn/wake + `[service]` ONLY \u2014 this does NOT expand into the `[session.self]`/`[history]` follow-on sites. FAULT COUNTERS ARE TWO, NOT ONE (ruled 2026-07-26 after the builder surfaced the reading): (1) the FAST-EXIT counter increments ONLY on exits whose uptime is UNDER the startup threshold, and RESETS the moment any run EXCEEDS that threshold. Without the reset the latch mislabels slow-crash decay as a configuration fault \u2014 the latch lying about cause, which is worse than no latch. STARTUP_FAULT is reserved for THIS path alone. (2) The ORDINARY consecutive-crash give-up (the shell wake-watcher scaffolding's `give_up_after` = 6, deliberately UPTIME-BLIND) sits BEHIND it UNCHANGED in W1 and keeps its existing diagnostic label \u2014 no silent behavior fork from the shell watcher. (3) BOTH counters reset on the latch-clear events above (daemon boot, adapter re-registration, update-hold release): a clear that left either counter primed would relatch on the first post-clear crash and thereby defeat the clear. (4) NOTED-OPEN, deliberately NOT W1 and NOT a promise: the ordinary counter's uptime-blindness means a service that crashes once a day gives up after six days and then stays down until a clear event. Whether that decay behavior is right for SERVICES (as opposed to the shell watchers it was designed for) is a future ruling; it is recorded here as open so the next builder inherits the question rather than rediscovering it in the field. ORPHAN ADOPTION IS IMAGE-VERIFIED, AND ITS PLATFORM GAP IS RECORDED-OPEN (ruled 2026-07-26 after the builder surfaced the trade): a fresh daemon kills a dead daemon's parked orphan ONLY by path-verified identity \u2014 a live pid whose image path cannot be READ classifies `Unverifiable` and BLOCKS adoption, i.e. the start refuses loudly rather than proceeding. Loud-blocked over quietly-double-started is this design's whole posture (a bare-pid kill is the recycled-pid class, and a double-start is the silent flap the cardinality rule exists to prevent). RECORDED-OPEN consequence, NOT debt owed by W1: the image oracle is `/proc` on unix, so a unix WITHOUT `/proc` (macOS/BSD) would block on every live orphan until that pid dies. This is theoretical for every platform we ship \u2014 win, linux-gnu, musl \u2014 and no macOS/BSD asset exists; a future builder adding one inherits the question here rather than rediscovering it in the field. SUPERVISOR PLACEMENT IS BROKER-SIDE (ruled 2026-07-26): the supervised set, its boot sweep and the reconcile control socket live in the BROKER process, beside the digest/drive/tunnel hubs \u2014 NOT in the restartable brain child that hosts shellwake. Two reasons, both structural. (a) A supervisor owns LIVE CHILD HANDLES and, from the update ceremony on, an in-memory HOLD: that is a daemon-lifetime continuity resource, which is the ADR-0018 Q2/Q5 broker-side test; the Q5 exception that put shellwake in the brain reads 'a pure disk-reconciler' and this is not one. (b) A brain restart is the ROUTINE UPDATE PATH (StartReason::Update exists precisely for it), so brain-hosting would bounce every resident service through the orphan-adoption path with no quiesce, no grace and no hold \u2014 the ungoverned bounce this req's ordered update operation exists to replace \u2014 and would lose the hold mid-swap. Broker-hosting is also what makes the wire op possible at all: all control sockets are broker-served because a CLI cannot reach brain memory (stated in drivehub.rs's module header and obeyed by every hub). NO PERIODIC SWEEP \u2014 CHOSEN, NOT OMITTED (ruled 2026-07-26): the supervisor host runs the boot sweep and then parks; there is deliberately no timer re-sweeping on a cadence. The four ruled opportunities are all EVENTS, each with a caller that enters the one reconcile function directly, so a timer would be a FIFTH start authority nobody ruled in \u2014 and its only distinctive work would be silently healing a failed registration nudge, converting a diagnosable defect into invisible behavior. The REQUIRED daemon-unreachable notice is the honest answer to that case; machinery that papers over its own failure class is refused (the same instrument-soundness razor as the rest of this design). A SUPERVISOR WHOSE DECLARATION DISAPPEARS RECONCILES TOWARD STOPPED (ruled into W1 2026-07-26): every sweep runs a STOP side before its start side \u2014 an option whose adapter is soft-deregistered, hard-removed, or whose manifest no longer declares a [service] is torn down through the handle that names its child. This is the symmetric half of desired-state-running, not an addition to it: without it a deregistered adapter's binary outlives its own registration until the daemon dies, which is exactly the ungoverned-lifetime shape this req abolishes. TREE TEARDOWN ON EVERY SUPERVISOR-INITIATED KILL (ruled 2026-07-26): the force-kill deadline is where the unconditional-kill promise is WRITTEN, but it is not the boundary of the problem \u2014 a supervised service's descendants are torn down on every kill the supervisor initiates, including daemon-shutdown stop_all and the stop-side sweep teardown. Descendants outliving THOSE paths are strictly worse off than ones outliving a force-kill, because the next daemon's orphan sweep is structurally blind to them: it knows one parked pid and holds no handle to anything below it. Windows reaches the tree through a SUPERVISOR-OWNED Job Object assigned at birth (CREATE_SUSPENDED -> AssignProcessToJobObject -> resume, so no descendant is ever spawned outside the job; KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE deliberately OFF, so a dying supervisor is never an unannounced service outage); unix through the process group setsid already establishes. Job-NEUTRALITY is not contradicted: that invariant governs OTHER people's jobs reaching our processes, which CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB still handles at birth. A job the OS refuses is a LOUD DEGRADE, never a refusal to start: the process still dies on demand and only its descendants become unreachable, which is exactly where this path stood before the job existed \u2014 refusing the spawn would convert a bounded descendant leak into a total outage over a failure in an OS facility rather than in anything the adapter declared. THE STATUS SURFACE IS DAEMON-ANSWERED OR IT SAYS NOTHING (ruled 2026-07-26, the leg-D companion of the tree-teardown ruling): the CLI NEVER derives service state from the pid file. Either the daemon answers `spt adapter service list|status` over the control socket, or the CLI prints that the daemon is not running \u2014 verbatim, and with no fallback read. The pid file is a KILL HANDLE for the NEXT daemon, and reading it as liveness in a display surface is the v0.43.0 STALE-ONLINE class one layer down: a record answering a question the record cannot know. Three properties follow and are requirements, not implementation taste. (a) The status op is a PROJECTION over the live supervised set \u2014 the supervision threads, the hold flags and the stand-down records \u2014 plus the registry; it starts, stops, holds and kills nothing, because a diagnostic that converges the thing it measures is a start authority wearing a diagnostic's clothes. (b) A row reports its EVIDENCE: a latch surfaces with the captured startup output behind it, since a fault reported without its cause is the instrument failing at its one job. (c) An option SUPERVISED WITHOUT A DECLARATION behind it is reported as exactly that rather than hidden \u2014 with no periodic sweep, a deregistered adapter's supervisor lives until the next opportunity's stop side reaches it, and that window is precisely when an operator asks what is running. THE ADVISORY STATUS LINE IS DISPLAY-ONLY AND BOUNDED: the service may write one line into its runtime dir (named in docs/MANIFEST.md beside the stop-request marker, so it is implementable); core reads the FIRST line under a byte cap, treats an unreadable file as simply no advisory (the locked-file split rule holds), and consults it for NO decision \u2014 core deciding on it would put a least-trusted binary's self-report in the control path, and a service that stopped updating it would silently become whatever it last claimed. WIRE LENIENCY IS PLACED, NOT SPRINKLED: fields a reader BRANCHES on stay typed with a `#[serde(other)]` unknown arm (KH-2.3), while a field only ever ECHOED carries the daemon's label verbatim \u2014 re-deriving a lenient copy of the manifest's validated `start` vocabulary for the wire would weaken the one place strictness matters (registration). An op an older daemon predates HANGS UP rather than reading the request and answering nothing: a server that silently ignores an unknown kind leaves the caller blocked on a reply that never comes, so an older daemon would WEDGE a newer CLI instead of failing it.",

Today the answer is 'no, silently, on Windows only'. `shellhost::kill_shell_pid` force-kills with `taskkill /PID <pid> /T /F` \u2014 /T is a TREE kill, so `close_shell` takes the shell's descendants with it; the Unix arm is `kill -9 <pid>`, a SINGLE process. So the same adapter's detached child dies on Windows and survives on Linux, undocumented either way. Two ratified positions collide here and neither may be quietly discarded: (a) CONTEXT \u00a7Shell model lifecycle states flatly 'the binary never survives a link-break', and the KNOWN-HAZARDS 'stop lies' RCA (two field cases 2026-07-19, one on doyle's own production endpoint) was paid for precisely because a surviving GRANDCHILD was orphaned where 'even a direct-child kill would have missed it' \u2014 that hazard is the standing argument FOR /T; (b) a node-singleton service that must not drop every time a shell relinks is a legitimate shape, and flynn's alchemy ships one today (Hub Daemon, CREATE_NO_WINDOW | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, lockfile-guarded), depending on surviving link-breaks to keep a Discord gateway up. Note CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP does NOT sever ParentProcessId, so it is not an escape from /T \u2014 the survival flynn depends on is unverified, not designed-for. MEASURED, not theorized (flynn, this node, 2026-07-25, current spt-core, no branch): the Hub Daemon's ParentProcessId WAS the shell's pid \u2014 a direct child, so `/T` reaches it by either reading \u2014 and `spt shell teardown alchemy-0` took the daemon to zero processes within 0.1s, still zero across a 15s poll. Nothing restarted it (no bind happens in that window and the adapter's ensure runs only at bind, so 'died and restarted fast' is excluded by construction); recovery needed an operator spawn + re-bind. BLAST RADIUS, the reason this outranks its filing: that daemon also runs alchemy's Watch engine, so tearing down whichever shell happened to parent it silently stops State-change notification delivery NODE-WIDE, for every registered Watch and every owner \u2014 cross-Project blocking waits simply never fire, with no error anywhere. It satisfies the LETTER of alchemy's own REQ-HAZARD-WATCH-SILENT-LOSS (the registry entry survives) while its INTENT fails (the delivery engine is dead) \u2014 filed separately adapter-side. Option space for the ruling: (1) adapter-owned detached services are UNSUPPORTED \u2014 such a service is an AlwaysOnEndpoint (REQ-EP-8 / ADR-0023: resident, daemon-supervised, addressable, independent of agent liveness), NOT a shell's descendant. NOTE this is not a new design: ADR-0023 was ratified 2026-06-21 and EXPLICITLY rejected 'make it a Shell' ('shells are single-owner, driven, control-exclusive; a multi-party bridge inverts every one of those invariants'), and named a Discord bridge as its first consumer \u2014 i.e. flynn's exact shape. The gap is DELIVERY (REQ-EP-8 is inactive pending its milestone), not design. (2) allow it behind an explicit manifest declaration that exempts named descendants from the tree kill AND obliges the adapter to reap them \u2014 viable only as an EXPLICIT INTERIM with (1) as the stated target, never a permanent answer, because permanence would re-adopt the shape ADR-0023 already rejected.

CONSUMER LEAN IS (1), argued against his own convenience (flynn 2026-07-25): the service is a shell's descendant only because a shell was the only thing he had that could start something; (2) buys that accident a manifest field plus a reaping obligation he must then honor forever, and leaves 'the next shell that happens to bind' responsible for the service being up \u2014 which IS the defect he measured. Available to a consumer TODAY without any core change and without an exemption: start the service out-of-band so no shell parents it (unsupervised, but never tree-killed) \u2014 the trade is 'unsupervised but safe' against 'supervised by accident and killed by design'. Whichever wins, the Windows/Unix divergence is a defect in its own right and closes with it \u2014 `/T` on one platform and single-pid `kill -9` on the other means adapters cannot reason about descendant lifetime at all. Filed by flynn 2026-07-25 as 'flagging it now rather than after'; code-read by doyle, then field-confirmed by flynn at the cost of one teardown. FIELD CORRECTION (flynn, 2026-07-25, alchemy v0.3.1): the measured kill was NOT /T over-reach \u2014 the 'detached' daemon was still the shell's DIRECT CHILD in the process table (CREATE_NO_WINDOW / CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP / null stdio detach the console and the signal group, never parentage), so any tree walk found it by construction; isolated A/B on this node confirmed a grandchild whose intermediate has exited survives /T. alchemy v0.3.1 ships the fix as one relay hop (the binary re-invokes itself, the intermediate exits, the daemon's ParentProcessId is dead and nothing can walk it) \u2014 production-verified (daemon pid 35472, ParentProcessId 11108 dead) \u2014 and WITHDREW the Scheduled Task autostart entirely (alchemy ADR-0012 now Rejected; ADR-0013 records the relay hop). alchemy no longer pushes on this seed. What remains core-side is narrowed, not changed in kind: /T's breadth (it reaches detached descendants of any adapter that has NOT done the relay hop) is a hardening item on its own merits, and the Windows/Unix kill asymmetry stands. Job-object caveat filed separately \u2014 the relay hop does NOT escape a Job Object: see REQ-SHELL-CLI-SPAWN-JOB-EXPOSURE.",

    "titleA": "ResidentService substrate (ADR-0049, design ratified 2026-07-26): a daemon-supervised binary an adapter declares via a `[service]` manifest section \u2014 core-owned from birth, NO perch/identity/address. SPAWN: the daemon launches it job-neutrally (detached_no_inherit + the cold-start ladder posture), so it is never a shell's child (`/T` tree-kill cannot reach it; the shell-descendant hazard class of REQ-SHELL-ADAPTER-OWNED-DETACHED-SERVICE never arises) and never inside a launching terminal's Job Object (the REQ-SHELL-CLI-SPAWN-JOB-EXPOSURE service half closes by construction). START TRIGGER declared in the manifest: start = 'boot' or start = 'bind'; supervised identically once running, with the wake-watcher scaffolding (backoff, give-up latch, one-per-instance lock, orphan-kill, brain-side reconcile) minus the offline-only flip. 'boot' is DESIRED-STATE-RUNNING, not an event: the supervisor reconciles a boot service toward running at EVERY opportunity \u2014 daemon boot, ADAPTER REGISTRATION while the daemon is live (operator addition 2026-07-26: installing or registering an adapter whose manifest declares a boot service starts it THEN \u2014 spt itself is never restarted to bring a new adapter's service up), update-hold release, and first shell bind as the defensive ensure. 'bind' starts only at the adapter's first shell bind. CARDINALITY: one supervised instance per registered adapter-option `<adapter>[:profile]` (consumer-confirmed as COHERENT TARGET SHAPE \u2014 flynn's precision, 2026-07-26: not exercisable by the first consumer until per-option config dirs exist; alchemy today has one config dir and daemon.toml carries exactly one guild_id); the adapter may keep its own kernel file lock as a private double-start guard \u2014 core neither reads nor depends on it. PER-OPTION IDENTITY IS THREADED (flynn's gap, accepted): the supervisor passes the adapter-option name and the per-option runtime dir into the service's spawn environment, so an adapter can scope its private guard AND its config per option \u2014 the mechanism that makes two-options-two-services deliverable rather than merely permitted. Without it, two options resolving one adapter config dir produce the silent flap flynn derived: instance two exits immediately on the kernel lock, core sees only start-then-die, and crash-relaunch backoff is CORRECT behavior against that observation \u2014 two correct components disagreeing about the unit. UPDATE IS A FIRST-CLASS SUPERVISOR OPERATION WITH AN EXPLICIT HOLD: quiesce -> hold (stopped and NEVER relaunched while held) -> bits swap -> start new bits -> release; adapter update-apply performs this ordered operation; crash-relaunch with backoff applies ONLY when not held. The forcing case is structural, not advisory (flynn, argued against their own convenience): an eager relaunch during a swap re-pins the OLD exe mid-deploy (Windows exe lock), converting a diagnosable os-error-5 into an unwinnable race \u2014 if delivery must sequence, the hold ships FIRST and a dead service stays dead until told otherwise (the STALE-ONLINE no-spontaneous-relaunch ruling, same reason, one layer down). FAST-EXIT IS A CONFIGURATION FAULT, NOT A CRASH: consecutive immediate exits (exit within a startup threshold, N in a row) trip the give-up latch EARLY with a distinct loud STARTUP_FAULT diagnostic carrying the captured early stderr \u2014 a double-start lock conflict then reads as the configuration fault it is, never as a silently flapping service ground through backoff. QUIESCE IS COOPERATIVE EXIT + DEADLINE: the supervisor places a stop-request marker (a file in the service's runtime dir \u2014 polling services observe it on their next cycle; no inbox exists or is added); the service exits WHEN SAFE and the kernel-observed exit IS the ack \u2014 'not ready' is expressed by not-yet-exiting, so no busy record exists to go stale in either direction; a manifest-declared grace deadline (default ~30s) bounds the wait, then force-kill. Delay possible, veto never. An OPTIONAL advisory status line may surface in service status display \u2014 never consulted for decisions. LIVENESS IS DERIVED, NEVER RECORDED: the supervisor is the parent and holds the child handle (exit is kernel-observed); no supervisor-maintained running-record exists (the v0.43.0 stale-online lesson applied one layer down \u2014 flynn's condition, structural here). Any status/version identity surface keeps the locked-file split lesson: never require reading a file the service holds an exclusive OS lock on (Windows). CLI INVOCATION CAPABILITY (consumer-blocking, non-negotiable per flynn): the supervisor threads the environment so the service can invoke the spt CLI (`spt send` et al., identityless cli@node from-label, durable spooling per ADR-0002) \u2014 if a supervised Hub cannot shell out to spt send, node-wide Watch delivery dies silently. ADDRESSING: none \u2014 a service needing a two-way agent-facing surface has one at its adapter's endpoint/shell layer (the alchemy layering argument that re-scoped ADR-0023's faceless-service rejection); AlwaysOnEndpoint (REQ-EP-8) = this substrate + the addressable front. Gate at activation (all legs against a MOCK service adapter \u2014 the gate never depends on the first consumer being the boot specimen): int \u2014 a manifest [service start='boot'] binary rises with the daemon job-neutrally, a registration of that manifest against an ALREADY-LIVE daemon starts the service without any restart, survives a shell teardown of the same adapter (tree-kill does not reach it), a held update swaps bits with zero relaunch races (hold observed under a concurrent crash), quiesce marker -> cooperative exit within grace, deadline -> force-kill on a wedged mock, a mock that exits instantly N consecutive times surfaces STARTUP_FAULT (not a backoff flap), and the service successfully invokes spt send from its supervised environment. ACTIVATED FOR W1 2026-07-26 WITH THE FOLLOWING BUILD RULINGS FOLDED IN (doyle; constraints live in the artifact, not the dispatch thread). VERB SURFACE: the operator-facing verbs are `spt adapter service list` (all registered options + derived state) and `spt adapter service status <adapter[:profile]>`, nested under the ADAPTER group \u2014 NOT a bare `spt service`. Reason: 'service' is ALREADY public surface carrying an unrelated meaning \u2014 the platform daemon-service abstraction (REQ-DAEMON-6/-8, `crates/spt-daemon/src/service.rs`: the systemd user unit vs the Windows at-logon task) surfaces in `spt daemon` help as 'registered OS service' / 'managed service' / 'the managing service label'. Ownership-scoping separates the two meanings permanently: the OS-service is the DAEMON's and lives under `spt daemon`; the resident service is the ADAPTER's and lives under `spt adapter`. ADR-0049's 'service status display' means `spt adapter service status`; the W1 PR carries a one-line ADR errata note. GIVE-UP LATCH SCOPE: the latch suppresses relaunch grinding until something plausibly changed \u2014 it is NOT a durable verdict. Cleared by exactly three events: (1) DAEMON BOOT \u2014 desired-state-running enumerates boot as a reconcile opportunity with NO latch exception, and the re-trip is bounded (N fast exits) and LOUD (STARTUP_FAULT re-fires each boot); an in-memory per-daemon-lifetime latch is an acceptable implementation, and if the durable-marker scaffolding is reused then boot clears the marker; (2) ADAPTER RE-REGISTRATION \u2014 declared intent that manifest/config changed, reconciling immediately; (3) UPDATE-HOLD RELEASE \u2014 new bits invalidate the fault evidence. NOT cleared by the first-shell-bind ensure: a bind changes nothing about the service's config, so the bind-time reconcile SKIPS latched services \u2014 otherwise ordinary shell use converts the latch into the very flap it exists to stop. The REJECTED alternative is recorded deliberately: a durable latch with explicit-clear-only leaves an operator's already-fixed config fault sitting behind a service that stays dead and quiet forever \u2014 loud-bounded beats quiet-permanent (the heal-assigns-owner-never-closes shape one layer down). SANCTIONED BUT NOT W1-REQUIRED: `spt adapter service restart <adapter[:profile]>` as the explicit manual clear+reconcile \u2014 take it into W1 only if cheap once the verb group exists; the three automatic clears ARE the requirement. REGISTRATION-TIME START IS A WIRE OP: `registry::register` runs in the CLI PROCESS (`crates/spt/src/cli.rs`, the adapter-add and adapter-update call sites), so it cannot itself start anything in the daemon \u2014 registration-starts-the-service structurally requires ONE new adapter-scoped daemon IPC op, semantically `AdapterServiceReconcile { adapter }` (exact spelling matched to house op style where it lands), which the CLI calls after a SUCCESSFUL register on BOTH paths when the daemon is reachable. The daemon handler runs THE SAME reconcile code path as boot / hold-release / bind \u2014 ONE reconcile function taking an opportunity discriminant, never a second start authority. The response is a per-option outcome list (started / already-running / held / latched / bind-deferred / startup-fault) so the CLI prints honest per-option text. Daemon NOT reachable: registration STILL SUCCEEDS \u2014 never a refusal \u2014 and the CLI prints a REQUIRED notice that the service is declared, the daemon is not running, and it will come up at the next daemon boot. That notice is CONTRACT, not courtesy. RUNTIME-DIR ENCODING: cardinality is per adapter-option, so the option name becomes a PATH component and `:` is illegal in a Windows path. Core NEVER uses the raw option string as a path component \u2014 every construction site goes through ONE shared encoder, and that encoding MUST BE INJECTIVE (a lossless escape, never a strip/replace that can collide). Two distinct options mapping to one runtime dir means two services sharing a quiesce-marker namespace: the silent flap one layer down. The unit gate MUST include a collision-adversarial pair (e.g. if `:` maps to `_`, then `a:b` and `a_b` must remain distinct). MODULE PLACEMENT: the supervisor lands as `servicehost.rs` (the established `*host` convention \u2014 shellhost, harnesshost, linkhost, applyhost); `service.rs` is untouched and BOTH module headers cross-reference the other meaning of 'service'. INSTALL-DIR RESOLUTION RIDES W1 (operator-requested via flynn, ruled in after code verification): the `[service]` spawn resolves its binary through the EXISTING REQ-INSTALL-11 helper \u2014 the same primitive, NO parallel resolution path \u2014 and the same wiring lands at the two shell-family fill sites, which today resolve NEITHER the install-dir program token NOR `{adapter_dir}`. Without it a `--release`-installed shell adapter registers but cannot spawn (bare token \u2192 os error 2; `{adapter_dir}/x` \u2192 'no value for substitution key'), released shell adapters need a hand-maintained per-node manifest, `spt adapter update` on them is a permanent no-op, and THIS req's hold/swap/start ceremony would be exercisable by MOCK ONLY \u2014 never by the named first consumer. Site census discharged BEFORE build (authoritative grep, cfg(test) excluded, accepted by doyle): the production template-fill sites are `shellhost.rs::fill_spawn_command` and `shellwake.rs::fill_wake_command` (both targets \u2014 threading not shape, since the wake caller already holds `AdapterRecord.source_dir`, which IS the install dir), plus `harnesshost.rs` session `role.command`, which is OUT OF SCOPE and already resolves correctly through `resolve_program_in_dir`. Scope guard: shell spawn/wake + `[service]` ONLY \u2014 this does NOT expand into the `[session.self]`/`[history]` follow-on sites. FAULT COUNTERS ARE TWO, NOT ONE (ruled 2026-07-26 after the builder surfaced the reading): (1) the FAST-EXIT counter increments ONLY on exits whose uptime is UNDER the startup threshold, and RESETS the moment any run EXCEEDS that threshold. Without the reset the latch mislabels slow-crash decay as a configuration fault \u2014 the latch lying about cause, which is worse than no latch. STARTUP_FAULT is reserved for THIS path alone. (2) The ORDINARY consecutive-crash give-up (the shell wake-watcher scaffolding's `give_up_after` = 6, deliberately UPTIME-BLIND) sits BEHIND it UNCHANGED in W1 and keeps its existing diagnostic label \u2014 no silent behavior fork from the shell watcher. (3) BOTH counters reset on the latch-clear events above (daemon boot, adapter re-registration, update-hold release): a clear that left either counter primed would relatch on the first post-clear crash and thereby defeat the clear. (4) NOTED-OPEN, deliberately NOT W1 and NOT a promise: the ordinary counter's uptime-blindness means a service that crashes once a day gives up after six days and then stays down until a clear event. Whether that decay behavior is right for SERVICES (as opposed to the shell watchers it was designed for) is a future ruling; it is recorded here as open so the next builder inherits the question rather than rediscovering it in the field. ORPHAN ADOPTION IS IMAGE-VERIFIED, AND ITS PLATFORM GAP IS RECORDED-OPEN (ruled 2026-07-26 after the builder surfaced the trade): a fresh daemon kills a dead daemon's parked orphan ONLY by path-verified identity \u2014 a live pid whose image path cannot be READ classifies `Unverifiable` and BLOCKS adoption, i.e. the start refuses loudly rather than proceeding. Loud-blocked over quietly-double-started is this design's whole posture (a bare-pid kill is the recycled-pid class, and a double-start is the silent flap the cardinality rule exists to prevent). RECORDED-OPEN consequence, NOT debt owed by W1: the image oracle is `/proc` on unix, so a unix WITHOUT `/proc` (macOS/BSD) would block on every live orphan until that pid dies. This is theoretical for every platform we ship \u2014 win, linux-gnu, musl \u2014 and no macOS/BSD asset exists; a future builder adding one inherits the question here rather than rediscovering it in the field. SUPERVISOR PLACEMENT IS BROKER-SIDE (ruled 2026-07-26): the supervised set, its boot sweep and the reconcile control socket live in the BROKER process, beside the digest/drive/tunnel hubs \u2014 NOT in the restartable brain child that hosts shellwake. Two reasons, both structural. (a) A supervisor owns LIVE CHILD HANDLES and, from the update ceremony on, an in-memory HOLD: that is a daemon-lifetime continuity resource, which is the ADR-0018 Q2/Q5 broker-side test; the Q5 exception that put shellwake in the brain reads 'a pure disk-reconciler' and this is not one. (b) A brain restart is the ROUTINE UPDATE PATH (StartReason::Update exists precisely for it), so brain-hosting would bounce every resident service through the orphan-adoption path with no quiesce, no grace and no hold \u2014 the ungoverned bounce this req's ordered update operation exists to replace \u2014 and would lose the hold mid-swap. Broker-hosting is also what makes the wire op possible at all: all control sockets are broker-served because a CLI cannot reach brain memory (stated in drivehub.rs's module header and obeyed by every hub). NO PERIODIC SWEEP \u2014 CHOSEN, NOT OMITTED (ruled 2026-07-26): the supervisor host runs the boot sweep and then parks; there is deliberately no timer re-sweeping on a cadence. The four ruled opportunities are all EVENTS, each with a caller that enters the one reconcile function directly, so a timer would be a FIFTH start authority nobody ruled in \u2014 and its only distinctive work would be silently healing a failed registration nudge, converting a diagnosable defect into invisible behavior. The REQUIRED daemon-unreachable notice is the honest answer to that case; machinery that papers over its own failure class is refused (the same instrument-soundness razor as the rest of this design). A SUPERVISOR WHOSE DECLARATION DISAPPEARS RECONCILES TOWARD STOPPED (ruled into W1 2026-07-26): every sweep runs a STOP side before its start side \u2014 an option whose adapter is soft-deregistered, hard-removed, or whose manifest no longer declares a [service] is torn down through the handle that names its child. This is the symmetric half of desired-state-running, not an addition to it: without it a deregistered adapter's binary outlives its own registration until the daemon dies, which is exactly the ungoverned-lifetime shape this req abolishes. TREE TEARDOWN ON EVERY SUPERVISOR-INITIATED KILL (ruled 2026-07-26): the force-kill deadline is where the unconditional-kill promise is WRITTEN, but it is not the boundary of the problem \u2014 a supervised service's descendants are torn down on every kill the supervisor initiates, including daemon-shutdown stop_all and the stop-side sweep teardown. Descendants outliving THOSE paths are strictly worse off than ones outliving a force-kill, because the next daemon's orphan sweep is structurally blind to them: it knows one parked pid and holds no handle to anything below it. Windows reaches the tree through a SUPERVISOR-OWNED Job Object assigned at birth (CREATE_SUSPENDED -> AssignProcessToJobObject -> resume, so no descendant is ever spawned outside the job; KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE deliberately OFF, so a dying supervisor is never an unannounced service outage); unix through the process group setsid already establishes. Job-NEUTRALITY is not contradicted: that invariant governs OTHER people's jobs reaching our processes, which CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB still handles at birth. A job the OS refuses is a LOUD DEGRADE, never a refusal to start: the process still dies on demand and only its descendants become unreachable, which is exactly where this path stood before the job existed \u2014 refusing the spawn would convert a bounded descendant leak into a total outage over a failure in an OS facility rather than in anything the adapter declared. THE STATUS SURFACE IS DAEMON-ANSWERED OR IT SAYS NOTHING (ruled 2026-07-26, the leg-D companion of the tree-teardown ruling): the CLI NEVER derives service state from the pid file. Either the daemon answers `spt adapter service list|status` over the control socket, or the CLI prints that the daemon is not running \u2014 verbatim, and with no fallback read. The pid file is a KILL HANDLE for the NEXT daemon, and reading it as liveness in a display surface is the v0.43.0 STALE-ONLINE class one layer down: a record answering a question the record cannot know. Three properties follow and are requirements, not implementation taste. (a) The status op is a PROJECTION over the live supervised set \u2014 the supervision threads, the hold flags and the stand-down records \u2014 plus the registry; it starts, stops, holds and kills nothing, because a diagnostic that converges the thing it measures is a start authority wearing a diagnostic's clothes. (b) A row reports its EVIDENCE: a latch surfaces with the captured startup output behind it, since a fault reported without its cause is the instrument failing at its one job. (c) An option SUPERVISED WITHOUT A DECLARATION behind it is reported as exactly that rather than hidden \u2014 with no periodic sweep, a deregistered adapter's supervisor lives until the next opportunity's stop side reaches it, and that window is precisely when an operator asks what is running. THE ADVISORY STATUS LINE IS DISPLAY-ONLY AND BOUNDED: the service may write one line into its runtime dir (named in docs/MANIFEST.md beside the stop-request marker, so it is implementable); core reads the FIRST line under a byte cap, treats an unreadable file as simply no advisory (the locked-file split rule holds), and consults it for NO decision \u2014 core deciding on it would put a least-trusted binary's self-report in the control path, and a service that stopped updating it would silently become whatever it last claimed. WIRE LENIENCY IS PLACED, NOT SPRINKLED: fields a reader BRANCHES on stay typed with a `#[serde(other)]` unknown arm (KH-2.3), while a field only ever ECHOED carries the daemon's label verbatim \u2014 re-deriving a lenient copy of the manifest's validated `start` vocabulary for the wire would weaken the one place strictness matters (registration). An op an older daemon predates HANGS UP rather than reading the request and answering nothing: a server that silently ignores an unknown kind leaves the caller blocked on a reply that never comes, so an older daemon would WEDGE a newer CLI instead of failing it.",

    "titleB": "RULING OWED (unratified \u2014 do NOT satisfy without one): may a shell adapter own a DETACHED process that deliberately OUTLIVES its shell's link-break? Today the answer is 'no, silently, on Windows only'. `shellhost::kill_shell_pid` force-kills with `taskkill /PID <pid> /T /F` \u2014 /T is a TREE kill, so `close_shell` takes the shell's descendants with it; the Unix arm is `kill -9 <pid>`, a SINGLE process. So the same adapter's detached child dies on Windows and survives on Linux, undocumented either way. Two ratified positions collide here and neither may be quietly discarded: (a) CONTEXT \u00a7Shell model lifecycle states flatly 'the binary never survives a link-break', and the KNOWN-HAZARDS 'stop lies' RCA (two field cases 2026-07-19, one on doyle's own production endpoint) was paid for precisely because a surviving GRANDCHILD was orphaned where 'even a direct-child kill would have missed it' \u2014 that hazard is the standing argument FOR /T; (b) a node-singleton service that must not drop every time a shell relinks is a legitimate shape, and flynn's alchemy ships one today (Hub Daemon, CREATE_NO_WINDOW | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, lockfile-guarded), depending on surviving link-breaks to keep a Discord gateway up. Note CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP does NOT sever ParentProcessId, so it is not an escape from /T \u2014 the survival flynn depends on is unverified, not designed-for. MEASURED, not theorized (flynn, this node, 2026-07-25, current spt-core, no branch): the Hub Daemon's ParentProcessId WAS the shell's pid \u2014 a direct child, so `/T` reaches it by either reading \u2014 and `spt shell teardown alchemy-0` took the daemon to zero processes within 0.1s, still zero across a 15s poll. Nothing restarted it (no bind happens in that window and the adapter's ensure runs only at bind, so 'died and restarted fast' is excluded by construction); recovery needed an operator spawn + re-bind. BLAST RADIUS, the reason this outranks its filing: that daemon also runs alchemy's Watch engine, so tearing down whichever shell happened to parent it silently stops State-change notification delivery NODE-WIDE, for every registered Watch and every owner \u2014 cross-Project blocking waits simply never fire, with no error anywhere. It satisfies the LETTER of alchemy's own REQ-HAZARD-WATCH-SILENT-LOSS (the registry entry survives) while its INTENT fails (the delivery engine is dead) \u2014 filed separately adapter-side. Option space for the ruling: (1) adapter-owned detached services are UNSUPPORTED \u2014 such a service is an AlwaysOnEndpoint (REQ-EP-8 / ADR-0023: resident, daemon-supervised, addressable, independent of agent liveness), NOT a shell's descendant. NOTE this is not a new design: ADR-0023 was ratified 2026-06-21 and EXPLICITLY rejected 'make it a Shell' ('shells are single-owner, driven, control-exclusive; a multi-party bridge inverts every one of those invariants'), and named a Discord bridge as its first consumer \u2014 i.e. flynn's exact shape. The gap is DELIVERY (REQ-EP-8 is inactive pending its milestone), not design. (2) allow it behind an explicit manifest declaration that exempts named descendants from the tree kill AND obliges the adapter to reap them \u2014 viable only as an EXPLICIT INTERIM with (1) as the stated target, never a permanent answer, because permanence would re-adopt the shape ADR-0023 already rejected. (3) status quo, but then DOCUMENT the platform asymmetry and stop claiming 'never survives' unqualified. CONSUMER LEAN IS (1), argued against his own convenience (flynn 2026-07-25): the service is a shell's descendant only because a shell was the only thing he had that could start something; (2) buys that accident a manifest field plus a reaping obligation he must then honor forever, and leaves 'the next shell that happens to bind' responsible for the service being up \u2014 which IS the defect he measured. Available to a consumer TODAY without any core change and without an exemption: start the service out-of-band so no shell parents it (unsupervised, but never tree-killed) \u2014 the trade is 'unsupervised but safe' against 'supervised by accident and killed by design'. Whichever wins, the Windows/Unix divergence is a defect in its own right and closes with it \u2014 `/T` on one platform and single-pid `kill -9` on the other means adapters cannot reason about descendant lifetime at all. Filed by flynn 2026-07-25 as 'flagging it now rather than after'; code-read by doyle, then field-confirmed by flynn at the cost of one teardown. FIELD CORRECTION (flynn, 2026-07-25, alchemy v0.3.1): the measured kill was NOT /T over-reach \u2014 the 'detached' daemon was still the shell's DIRECT CHILD in the process table (CREATE_NO_WINDOW / CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP / null stdio detach the console and the signal group, never parentage), so any tree walk found it by construction; isolated A/B on this node confirmed a grandchild whose intermediate has exited survives /T. alchemy v0.3.1 ships the fix as one relay hop (the binary re-invokes itself, the intermediate exits, the daemon's ParentProcessId is dead and nothing can walk it) \u2014 production-verified (daemon pid 35472, ParentProcessId 11108 dead) \u2014 and WITHDREW the Scheduled Task autostart entirely (alchemy ADR-0012 now Rejected; ADR-0013 records the relay hop). alchemy no longer pushes on this seed. What remains core-side is narrowed, not changed in kind: /T's breadth (it reaches detached descendants of any adapter that has NOT done the relay hop) is a hardening item on its own merits, and the Windows/Unix kill asymmetry stands.

Case 1 (adapter-side echo): a post-reboot ensure race left a dev-build alchemy Hub Daemon serving release shells \u2014 version skew visible only by manually comparing process image paths. Case 2 (core, field-measured by flynn): TWO spt daemons resident with live brains on one node \u2014 the installed main daemon (owning ALL sockets: the 5474 listeners and every established connection, single home_tag pipe family) and an orphaned scratchpad-built daemon (auto-started into the node by ensure_running from a stray dev-binary invocation at 16:18, holding zero sockets, resident for hours) \u2014 while `spt --version` on any binary file answers nothing about which process is answering. Measured sharp edges to carry into the RCA: (a) exe path and resolved HOME are independent \u2014 the orphan ran scratchpad bits against the DEFAULT home, so 'where the binary lives' predicts nothing about 'whose state it mutates'; (b) the brain.ready breadcrumb is ONE FILE PER HOME, LAST-WRITER-WINS, keyed by generation \u2014 with two brains in one home the stamp can be written by the daemon you are NOT gating on, so any readiness/identity gate that trusts it must first establish single-writer; (c) the breadcrumb's exe_hash (SHA-256 of resident bytes captured at process start) is the RIGHT discriminator \u2014 image path answers what is on disk, not which bits are answering \u2014 but only under (b)'s single-writer precondition; (d) reap order matters: killing the breadcrumb's last writer leaves the file describing a dead brain's bits until the survivor's next ready write, so any bits-gate readback must be re-established AFTER a reap, never carried across one. Open RCA questions before any fix is designed: why did the second daemon's cold-start not refuse against the live singleton (socket-bind loss is survivable-and-resident today \u2014 is that the right posture?); what should ensure_running check BEYOND socket liveness (bits identity?); where does 'which bits are serving' surface to an operator (endpoint list? daemon status verb?). Kin: the NEVER-SEALING-OBSERVABILITY candidate (same shape \u2014 silent wrong-state only a human staring at the right field catches). Proposed by todlando (his lane), relayed by flynn with the socket-ownership + exe_hash measurements; seeded by doyle. The orphan pair was reaped by path 2026-07-25 (verified by exact ExecutablePath, supervisor before brain); the reap resolved the instance, not the class. RCA POINTS FROM THE PROPOSING LANE (todlando, extended into THIS record 2026-07-26 rather than minted as a second seed): (1) ORDERING \u2014 'do both pids resolve the same spt_home?' is the FIRST question, not a co-equal fact, because every other discriminator is conditioned on its answer: brain.ready is `<spt_home>/brain.ready`, ONE path, single-writer BY DESIGN, so a shared home makes the breadcrumb a contended file and `generation` \u2014 the readiness gate's key, which exists precisely to prevent false promotion \u2014 becomes satisfiable by the stamp of the daemon you are NOT gating on. Prior art on this node: default-home `home_tag` sockets already cross-talk the live daemon's hubs, so shared-home cross-talk is an established class here, not a hypothetical. (2) GATE ON RESIDENT BYTES, NEVER ON IMAGE PATH \u2014 AND TREAT ABSENCE AS UNPROVEN. Path answers 'what is on disk where I asked'; with two daemons on different bits the only question that matters is 'which bits answered me'. Path is the exact field that has already lied in the field: KH 6.11 \u2014 the broker resolves `current_exe()` PER SPAWN (`crates/spt-daemon/src/brainproc.rs`), which on Linux is inode-tracking, so an `update apply` rename made the respawn land on the OLD bytes while readiness passed and the trial recorded `applied:N` (kitsubito v0.4.1); `exe_hash` (lowercase-hex SHA-256 of resident bytes, captured ONCE at process start \u2014 `current_exe_hash`, `crates/spt-daemon/src/brainproc.rs:402`) exists BECAUSE the path-derived belief was provably wrong, and the enlyzeam 0.3.0-under-0.3.2-on-disk case is the same record/reality divergence one layer up. Constraint any observability gate must inherit and must NOT weaken: `exe_hash` is ADDITIVE/BEST-EFFORT \u2014 omitted when the self-read fails, `None` on any pre-D7 stamp \u2014 and today's `bytes_gate` deliberately degrades an absent hash to readiness-only promotion with a loud `PROMOTE_BYTES_UNVERIFIED` (N-1 compat, `brainproc.rs:1042`). An operator-facing 'which bits are serving' answer must degrade the OTHER WAY: absent hash reads UNPROVEN \u2014 never PASS, and never a silent fall back to image path. A compat degrade that is correct for ACCEPTING an update is wrong for ASSERTING an identity. (3) SERVICE OWNERSHIP IS DECIDED BY SOCKET/HUB BINDING, NOT BY START TIME. Case 2 measured the instance (main holds all 5474 listeners + every established connection; the scratchpad daemon holds zero sockets and was the LATER start) but the INFERENCE RULE is what must survive the instance: a later start is not thereby the loser and an earlier start is not thereby the server \u2014 'who is serving' is answered by who owns the binding, so any gate, reap, or diagnostic that ranks candidates by pid or start time is guessing at the one fact it is supposed to establish. (4) REAP-ORDER SYMMETRY \u2014 (d)'s re-establish-the-gate-AFTER-the-reap rule holds identically on the REVERT path; a bits-gate readback may never be carried across a reap or a rollback in either direction. (5) SINGLE RECORD \u2014 this seed is the one home for the class (premature-closure guard: convergent reads are not a root cause, and a green re-read after a reap assigns owner without closing); the socket-bind-loss posture question stays OPEN inside it, and the orphan-pair instance stays closed.",

The fix is three-layered (todlando's A1/A2 race+crash hazards addressed at mint): (1) the token mint re-stamps all pending rows old-key\u2192new-key (idempotent, crash-partial converges \u2014 an old-stamped remainder is converted by the next rotation or drain); (2) the rotated-out token is STASHED (`link.token.retired`, never a live credential \u2014 bind resolves only the parked file) so (3) the drain paths give any race straggler a second-chance re-stamp at delivery (`restamp_for_drain`), while frames verifying under neither key pass through untouched for the adapter to refuse exactly as before. Rows are selected by MAC verification against the threaded new key, never by token-snapshot equality (the D-2 class). MOCK CONFORMANCE IS A PROPERTY OF THE RIG, not a patch (todlando A4): mock-shell MUST verify inbound frame MACs exactly as the public contract demands of a real adapter and drop failures loudly \u2014 a mock that accepts what the field rejects is a broken rig, and that exact divergence (credulous mock) is how the frame loss passed the e2e while failing in the field. The adapter-side discard behavior is CORRECT and must never be softened to paper over the spool side. Relink additionally probes LOCALLY rather than trusting a daemon sweep, so recovery holds with the daemon down. RECOVERY PRESERVES CONSUMER STATE (the property consumers actually depend on, flynn 2026-07-25): 'same canonical id, same perch' exists so that state a consumer PERSISTED IN THE PERCH survives the recovery \u2014 an adapter's repo binding, a scanner's cursor. The teardown+spawn workaround destroyed exactly that, and its worst cost was SILENT, not the rename: alchemy's tag cursor re-baselines at the digest tip, so tags written between the kill and the re-bind are never scanned \u2014 not failed-and-retried, just never seen. A loud failure gets retried; a silent one does not. Gate: int \u2014 force-kill a bound persistent instance's process, then prove (1) `shell list` reads offline, (2) `relink` succeeds instead of SHELL_ALREADY_ONLINE and the SAME canonical id + perch survive, carrying perch-persisted consumer state with them (no teardown+spawn, no id churn, no re-baselined cursor), (3) no spontaneous relaunch occurs while the instance sits dead and undriven. FIELD VERDICT \u2014 PASS END-TO-END (flynn, alchemy-0, delivered 2026-07-26; v0.43.0, counter 77): every gate leg held in the field, on a record the pre-fix code had already poisoned. (1) `shell list` read OFFLINE while the on-disk info.json still said status=online \u2014 the daemon DERIVED offline from the corpse pid (29036 absent from the process table); the record was never corrected and did not need to be. (2) relink ADMITTED, no SHELL_ALREADY_ONLINE \u2014 verbatim SHELL_RELINKED:alchemy-0 owner=flynn pid=38644 status=offline, list online thereafter. (3) identity/state integrity: same canonical id, same owner, same perch; repo binding byte-identical (token_provenance=gh-cli); armed=true preserved; no spontaneous relaunch across the ~6.5h dead window. CURSOR SCOPING, ruled at closure (doyle 2026-07-26) \u2014 the one non-byte-identical field: the tag cursor moved 206158430541\u2192210453397553 (gen:seq 48:333\u219249:49) because the recovery crossed a DAEMON restart that slid the retained digest window past the armed cursor. NOT a gap and NOT this req's property failing: spt-core raised after_predates_window and the consumer took its specced armed-cursor branch (alchemy REQ-TAG-SCANNER missed-rows leg \u2014 warn the owner, never silently re-baseline an armed cursor; alchemy src/tags.rs, two unit tests) \u2014 the FIRST FIELD FIRING of a path previously exercised only by unit tests. The 'no re-baselined cursor' gate property is hereby scoped: byte-identity holds across SHELL death within one daemon generation (the prior LEG 5 measurement, one daemon instance, uncontradicted \u2014 different scenario, generation never moved); across a daemon restart that slides the window the contract is DETECT-AND-ANNOUNCE, not preserve \u2014 corroborated independently by a second record's cursor decomposing under the same gen:seq scheme (4294967486 = 1:190). Practical exposure in this event: nil (every agent stood down through the gap; no tag traffic to miss). SECOND SPECIMEN HELD, not spent (doyle ruling 2026-07-26): liam's record \u2014 precondition verified by flynn (pid 35464 a CLEAN corpse, not recycled, so the accepted-at-mint recycled-pid caveat does not apply; same poisoned status=online shape; binding intact; cursor armed at 4294967486) \u2014 is deliberately NOT relinked while its owner is absent: the admit gate is already field-proven, a relink measurably re-baselines the cursor across a daemon-restart boundary, and liam's is the only untouched specimen with the longer (~8.5h) gap \u2014 spending it would destroy the cursor datum liam's own return produces, to buy a redundant second sample of a gate already proven to admit. It waits for liam. SPECIMEN HARVESTED (liam's own return, 2026-07-26 \u2014 operator-authorized endpoint start executed by doyle; pre-state snapshotted by doyle AND independently re-verified on disk by liam before touching anything): (1) relink ADMITTED at the ~8.5h gap \u2014 verbatim SHELL_RELINKED:alchemy-0 owner=liam pid=47608 status=offline (online at bind); the poisoned record did not refuse; info.json online is now TRUE. (2) integrity FULL PASS: id unchanged (no new mint slot), perch onlined at bind, repo binding byte-identical (token_provenance gh-cli), and the ROTATION-CARRIES-THE-DURABLE-CHANNEL machinery observed live in the field for the first time \u2014 link.token.retired present beside the fresh mint, and a post-relink round trip proven end-to-end (shell cmd spooled -> engine executed -> reply home on the owner's perch), not merely an outbound spool. (3) cursor, the sharpest datum of the harvest: BYTE-IDENTICAL through the relink itself (4294967486 armed at pid-change instant, doyle's file watch) \u2014 the relink preserves; the SCANNER moves. First scan re-baselined 1:190 -> 2:0 silently, and liam PROVED no-fire-by-precondition rather than assuming: the daemon restart bumped the generation but EVICTED NOTHING (window floor 4294967464 < cursor 4294967486, every gen-1 row past the cursor still retained), so after_predates_window is correctly false at every link of the chain (filter_after floor test -> emit-only-when-true -> unwrap_or(false)) and the missed-rows announce had no precondition to fire on. Flynn's earlier gen-bump reading is refined by this: a restart alone does not slide the window; flynn's announce fired because HIS window had genuinely slid. Scope note carried: a valid negative \u2014 the fix's announce chain verified link-by-link to contract on a specimen where it correctly stayed quiet. RESIDUE from the harvest (liam's find, alchemy lane, no core REQ): permanently-unsealable turns from a dark session are jumped by scanner cursor advance with no possible missed-rows notice (a generation bump is not a slide); ruled scanner-side announce for input-bearing null-seq jumps, pseudo-turns jump silently by design; core's per-turn input/input_seq/partial already suffice to discriminate.",

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\u2026) (~379) \u2014 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. The defect is an ASSUMPTION about hosting authority made by a path that does not know the answer. FIX (preferred): represent LISTENER CUSTODY separately from PTY HOSTING AUTHORITY, so establishing a listener says nothing about who owns the session surface. Merely preserving controllable=true when a broker-hosted session with that session_id exists is weaker \u2014 it leaves listen guessing rather than removing the guess.

FIELD CASE: emphasys rendered ONLINE for 25+ minutes with BOTH recorded pids dead, because its listener-only wake re-bind INHERITED a controllable=Some(true) earned in an earlier broker-PTY life, and the reconcile sweep exempts Some(true) rows from relay-death convergence (livehost.rs) \u2014 so an expired capability stamp ROUTED a liveness proof and the row was exempt from EVERY liveness model. The carry-forward is now scoped: Some(true) survives a listener re-bind unless the prior record's RELAY pid is provably Gone. Liveness of the arrangement is judged via the relay-role pid (REQ-PID-ROLE-EVIDENCE), the first record-internal key that actually measures it \u2014 NOT via 'earning pid alive', which was falsified pre-build: for a BrokerPty row the record holds no pid of the hosting life at all, only the announcing CLI's.",

The candidate DID reach ready (write_ready, brainproc.rs:211, runs before the loop; the v53 log's NET_FAMILY_GATE/PAIR_MEET_UP prove the loop was entered) \u2014 so `BRAIN_TRIAL_TIMEOUT: candidate alive but never ready` is the MISLEADING ready-stamped-but-never-DRAINED case, NOT a resume_sessions hang. SECOND LEG (recovery): post-rollback the gen-2 brain's KIND_SESSIONS poll finally reaps -> `BRAIN_SUBSCRIBER_STALL_EVICT:1` fires >15s late -> a session stayed black-holed through recovery -> continued freeze. ONE root, BOTH legs. FIX (BRAIN-SIDE, self-applying \u2014 doyle ruled brain-side to AVOID a broker-side coordinated-restart flag): the boot/trial heartbeat loop (brainproc.rs run_brain, currently only `net_status` at :244) also issues `Brain::sessions()` (KIND_SESSIONS, brain.rs:1397 \u2014 already exists) every heartbeat, driving the LIVE older broker's ALREADY-SHIPPED reap (>=v0.29.0 LIFECYCLE-TRUTH; the field-stuck broker is v0.30.0 so it HAS it). The old-gen wedged conn is stall-evicted ~15s < the 30s window -> `old_gen_drained()` flips true -> PROMOTE; the same poll on the rollback/recovery brain reaps promptly -> no >15s black-hole -> kills the STALL_EVICT recovery leg. Drive it on the FIRST heartbeat (no one-tick wait) and on BOTH the trial candidate AND the recovery brain (one loop covers both). SELF-APPLIES because it drives the current broker's existing reap verb \u2014 v54's brain fixes the v0.30.0->v54 update with NO coordinated broker restart. Forward-compat: brokers <v0.29.0 have neither the DRAINED gate nor the reap, so older-broker updates never hit this path \u2014 no regression. Composes with REQ-UPDATE-PROMOTE-DRAINED (the gate this un-strands) + REQ-HAZARD-BROKER-VIEWER-BRAIN-DECOUPLE (the stall-evict it drives) + REQ-CONTROLLER-LIVENESS-REAP (the reap verb). Int = the brain-swap-under-live-sessions rig: (1) with a hard-killed prior gen holding a wedged by:None controller past 15s, the new brain PROMOTES within the window AND sessions stay served across the cycle (RED-first: without the drive, WindowElapsedAlive->rollback); (2) a deliberately-failing trial auto-rolls-back AND the restored brain re-drives EVERY session with NO BRAIN_SUBSCRIBER_STALL_EVICT.",

The misjudgement source is READY-MARKER-FIRST liveness: an existing perch whose ready marker is momentarily down (busy turn, soft session-end, stale re-bind \u2014 and on hosted OMP endpoints marker-down is the NORMAL steady state during work, since the extension owns the listener and publishes busy/idle through `api state`) reads 'caller is perchless', so marker-first misjudges HEALTHY endpoints routinely, not rarely. INVARIANT: before creating an ephemeral reply perch, probe the perch DIRECTORY, not the marker \u2014 a dir carrying a record or a spool is OCCUPIED and the ring refuses to adopt it; an UNREADABLE record (corrupt/truncated info.json) or an unreadable dir counts as OCCUPIED, never as residue, because deletion is irreversible and refusal is recoverable, so every ambiguity resolves toward refusal; a pre-existing EMPTY dir is refused too (it is not provably ring's own residue \u2014 `endpoint run` mid-create owns an empty perch dir for a window, and deleting it is the same race wearing a different hat). Refusal is never silent and never blocks: the message is DELIVERED, the call declines to block-wait (the reply lands on the caller's own listener), and the caller gets a distinct loud report \u2014 RING_PERCH_EXISTS (record/spool) or RING_STALE_DIR (empty, naming the path and the manual remedy), so the permanent-refusal failure mode is solved by LOUDNESS rather than by a self-heal that would re-introduce the deletion race.

ROOT: the floor was PARSED + required (manifest.rs) but never compared to the running core \u2014 dead enforcement; and the [update].version_check knob that gated it was DOC'D-BUT-DEAD (never read by any production path \u2014 a contract lie). RULINGS: RETIRE version_check (drop the manifest field + schema + docs + the cfg(test) literals; a pre-existing manifest still setting it deserializes fine \u2014 serde ignores the unknown key, no deny_unknown_fields, so retiring is back-compatible); SEMVER-compare NOT string-compare (the 0.9.0 < 0.25.0 lexical trap); enforce on BOTH verbs; nothing installs / registry untouched on refuse (binds both verbs, no residuals). FIX: (1) a pure spt-runtime version_meets_floor(core, floor) -> bool (numeric per-component: split '.', u64, missing\u21920, non-numeric\u21920, first-diff decides, equal-when-zero-padded \u21d2 satisfied) \u2014 mirrors the CLI version_is_newer parse (same numeric model, different question: freshness=strictly-newer vs floor=at-least). (2) ADD: the gate lives INSIDE registry::register (the choke point) via a register_with_core(core_version) seam register() delegates to with env!(CARGO_PKG_VERSION) \u2014 the floor check runs right after the manifest parse, BEFORE any registry write, returning the typed RegistryError::CoreFloor{adapter,core,floor} (Display = the ONE F-1 refusal both verbs surface); nothing recorded on refuse. (3) UPDATE: a PRE-SWAP peek (staged_floor_ok) extracts the staged .spt to a THROWAWAY temp, parses its manifest floor, and refuses BEFORE apply_release_crc_swap mutates the live pointer-mode home \u2014 so a refusal (or an unverifiable floor: FAIL-CLOSED) leaves the live install BYTE-UNTOUCHED; register@8932 stays as the defense-in-depth backstop for every other entry path. doyle bind: the register-only gate would let the crc-swap replace the live files with a floor-violating version while the record refuses (record and reality disagree \u2014 the exact contract-lie shape this milestone kills), so the pre-swap peek is the only correct answer.

    "titleA": "A CI job REAPS ITS OWN test-spawned daemons at battery end, in-job, and logs a process census at job start AND job end so contamination and reap effectiveness are visible in every run's log. (Load-flake family leg 1, doyle-ratified 2026-07-22 from deployah's third-run analysis.) THE SIGNATURE THIS CLOSES: a DIFFERENT single daemon-spawning test dying per run with a bare exit 1 and NO assertion output \u2014 process-level death, not a failed assert \u2014 while sibling tests in the same families pass alongside it, on BYTE-IDENTICAL code. Evidence: release PR #56 ran four times over a zero-.rs-delta tree; runs 1/2/3 killed brain_decouple (twice, on a disk-starved box), then adapter_translate, then adapter_digest at 105.9 GB free; box census during runs showed 43 live spt-family processes and 6486 handles against an 1881-test Phase-A full-parallel battery; run 4 went GREEN once disk and leaked session-0 daemons were cleared. WHY IN-JOB IS LOAD-BEARING AND NOT A CONVENIENCE: there are TWO leak populations on hfenduleam. Population A is session-1 (agent/gate-spawned) and is sweepable by path from any shell. Population B is SESSION-0, spawned by the actions.runner.* service \u2014 a session-1 shell CANNOT kill those (Access denied; ExecutablePath unreadable) even though they are healthy. Every CI run therefore leaves session-0 daemons behind that contend with the NEXT run while also leaking its own mid-run, and an external sweep can never reach them. The runner's own job context owns its session-0 children, so only a post-job step inside the job can reap them. KILL SCOPE IS NARROW AND PATH-VERIFIED PER-PID AT KILL TIME (never machine-wide, and never trusting the census snapshot, whose pids can be recycled): eligible only under the run's own build roots \u2014 CARGO_TARGET_DIR, the workspace target, the notify-adapter checkout's target, RUNNER_TEMP, and the pinned n1 old-broker build cache. TWO HARD EXCLUSIONS are checked AFTER the root test rather than instead of it, so that live infra survives a bug in the root computation: anything under an spt-core/bin/ install prefix, and any owl binary. A process whose image path cannot be READ is reported but NEVER killed \u2014 unreadable means unverifiable and the safe direction is to leave it standing. A BOUNDED SETTLE precedes the kill pass so a cleanly-exiting daemon is not counted as a leak; after it, a survivor is a leak by definition, which is what makes the strict-mode trigger a mechanism rather than a judgement call. Rides BOTH the test and n1-gate jobs (doyle scope ruling): n1_pairing spawns real daemon trees from the workspace and from the out-of-tree pin cache, so reaping one job leaves half the cause standing.

The GUARANTEE is the STEADY STATE (the failed-binary state), not every in-flight message (see the fault-transient carve-out below). ROOT (F-019 post-mortem, ADR-0022 amendment): the v0.11.0 path raw-injected `payload+\\r` into the PTY whenever no working translation binary handled an inbound message (none declared, spawn-failed, FAULTED, or its inject-worker channel gone) AND acked `delivered=true` \u2014 but a bare `payload+\\r` does NOT submit on a modern TUI (Claude Code), so the message was TYPED but never sent: a silent pseudo-delivery reported as success.

A failed binary becomes a VISIBLE no-delivery (spooled + honest QUEUED report), never a confident-but-false 'Sent'. The raw-inject fallback (`input.enqueue`) is REMOVED from the no-binary, worker-dropped, AND post-fault paths. OUT OF SCOPE (doyle ruling, follow-up note only): broker-side auto-redrive of already-spooled inbound the instant a live-update binary spawns (ordering/exactly-once hazards; the poll substrate + subsequent sends cover re-delivery). NOT COVERED \u2014 the FAULT-TRANSIENT (the STATE-vs-transient precision): a delivery landing in the worker's commit window \u2014 BEFORE `event_rx` is dropped / `faulted` is set \u2014 can be optimistically enqueue-acked (`delivered=true` the instant `event_tx.send` succeeds) then DROPPED when the worker faults+returns. That is a SEPARATE, PRE-EXISTING hazard: raw-inject removal did not touch it (the old code dropped that queued event too) \u2014 v0.14.3 is a strict improvement that makes nothing worse. It is tracked for v0.15.0 under REQ-MSG-DELIVERY-AXES (the spool-centric delivery redesign: ack-on-SPOOL replaces ack-on-enqueue, which closes the optimistic-ack drop naturally). v0.14.3 guarantees only the steady FAILED state \u2192 spool (faulted is MONOTONIC \u2014 set once, never respawns \u2014 so it converges deterministically; the g2 gate asserts the steady state via bounded-retry-until-spool, not a single-shot ack).

Evidence: release PR #56 ran four times over a zero-.rs-delta tree; runs 1/2/3 killed brain_decouple (twice, on a disk-starved box), then adapter_translate, then adapter_digest at 105.9 GB free; box census during runs showed 43 live spt-family processes and 6486 handles against an 1881-test Phase-A full-parallel battery; run 4 went GREEN once disk and leaked session-0 daemons were cleared. WHY IN-JOB IS LOAD-BEARING AND NOT A CONVENIENCE: there are TWO leak populations on hfenduleam. Population A is session-1 (agent/gate-spawned) and is sweepable by path from any shell. Population B is SESSION-0, spawned by the actions.runner.* service \u2014 a session-1 shell CANNOT kill those (Access denied; ExecutablePath unreadable) even though they are healthy. Every CI run therefore leaves session-0 daemons behind that contend with the NEXT run while also leaking its own mid-run, and an external sweep can never reach them. The runner's own job context owns its session-0 children, so only a post-job step inside the job can reap them. KILL SCOPE IS NARROW AND PATH-VERIFIED PER-PID AT KILL TIME (never machine-wide, and never trusting the census snapshot, whose pids can be recycled): eligible only under the run's own build roots \u2014 CARGO_TARGET_DIR, the workspace target, the notify-adapter checkout's target, RUNNER_TEMP, and the pinned n1 old-broker build cache.

A process whose image path cannot be READ is reported but NEVER killed \u2014 unreadable means unverifiable and the safe direction is to leave it standing. A BOUNDED SETTLE precedes the kill pass so a cleanly-exiting daemon is not counted as a leak; after it, a survivor is a leak by definition, which is what makes the strict-mode trigger a mechanism rather than a judgement call.

(Load-flake family leg 2 = deployah option (c), doyle-ratified 2026-07-22.) Windows leg ONLY: kitsubito does not host the fleet, and its parallelism is deliberately untouched. MECHANISM AND WHY THIS ONE: the bound lives in a [profile.ci-windows] nextest profile selected by a STEP-LEVEL NEXTEST_PROFILE expression on the Phase-A step, NOT by a per-OS pair of Phase-A steps \u2014 duplicating that step would put a FOURTH copy of the <HEAVY> filter string in the tree, and .config/nextest.toml's own header names keeping THREE in sync as the standing hazard. THE NON-INHERITANCE GATE-CHECK (doyle demanded it discharged, and it did not come back clean): a custom nextest profile inherits scalar settings from default but NOT profile.default.overrides \u2014 the argument cuts both ways. Of the five overrides on default, exactly ONE is kind(test): the by-binary <HEAVY> integration filter, which is Phase B's alone and needs no mirror. The other FOUR are the FLAKE-LEDGER #14 class \u2014 real-broker units that are kind(bin)/kind(lib), escape the by-binary filter, and therefore RUN IN PHASE A depending on the heavy-broker-pty group to stay serialized (rc::tests four names, (applyhost|livehost|pump)::tests, wansend::tests, api::startup::tests). Shipping the profile without them would have SILENTLY UN-SERIALIZED ON WINDOWS the exact class whose un-serialization produced two separate 240s timeouts. They are mirrored verbatim, and the parity is ENFORCED rather than remembered: xtask check's check_phase_a_profile_parity fails the build when a default override that is not kind(test) is missing from ci-windows, keyed on that SHAPE and not on a name list \u2014 the same posture as FLAKE-LEDGER #14's second half, whose whole lesson is that a class written in prose and shipped as an enumeration decays. A DRIFTED mirror reads as missing, not as present: the invariant is that it is the SAME filter in both profiles, not that something is in both. THE BOUND ITSELF IS CHOSEN, NOT DERIVED, and is recorded that way at the value: hfenduleam is 16 logical cores and the bound is 8 (half), for fleet-co-tenant headroom. No measurement separates 8 from 6 or 12 and none was run \u2014 the ratified fix is stop saturating the box, not find the saturation knee. Retuning is one integer. Gate: impl \u2014 the ci-windows profile with its mirrored overrides plus the ci.yml step-level profile selection plus the xtask parity check; unit \u2014 the parity predicate's exemption rule (a kind(test) override needs no mirror), its detection of an unmirrored Phase-A override, its rejection of a DRIFTED mirror, and a case over the REAL checked-in config so the check cannot ship green against a tree that already violates it.

ROOT (spt-core-side, not a consumer bug): the K-session span (digest.rs activity_spanned, SPAN_SESSIONS=5) runs the [digest] extractor per session file and tags each row seq=(ledger_ordinal<<32)|localseq (REQ-DIGEST-CURSOR). A checkpoint/resume (self-/clear + Psyche rebuild) makes the harness REPLAY the prior generation's transcript into the NEW session file, so the ancestor's rows appear in BOTH the ancestor file AND the resume file at the SAME localseq \u2014 the span UNIONS them, one logical row surfacing under two full seqs (gen23,local208) + (gen25,local208), identical text/ts/localseq.

ROOT (doyle /diagnose, code-grounded + HITL capture, the v0.13.0 P1 ctrl+V re-open): `serve_attach` processes a whole `NetStreamData` batch of N operator `Input` records in its inner `for rec in decoder.push()` loop, calling `brain.send_effect(op_id, &bytes)` N times WITHOUT returning to `read_event()` \u2014 so the brain writes N `KIND_INPUT` frames back-to-back and drains nothing. The broker's single-threaded per-conn handler answers EACH with `send_frame(applied_envelope)` on the SAME conn (B5 exactly-once ack, KNOWN-HAZARDS 7.2). With the brain not reading, the broker\u2192brain return direction fills (~10 frames = the IPC pipe buffer) \u2192 `send_frame` BLOCKS \u2192 the handler stops reading \u2192 the brain's writes block too \u2192 mutual full-duplex DEADLOCK.

Same class as the v0.12.1 L0 two-conn split. Windows Terminal's ctrl+V paste accelerator was the trigger (injects the clipboard as a char-by-char key flood) but the deadlock is generic to ANY input flood, NOT ctrl+V-specific and NOT a P0 (PTY-write) or W1 (output-drain) regression. The applied-ack is load-bearing ONLY for `shellchan` (one-at-a-time spool delivery WAITS on `BrokerEvent::Applied`); `serve_attach` DISCARDS it (the operator/rc path is fire-and-forward, op_id for dedup only, never gates on the ack). FIX (doyle-approved): CONDITIONAL ACK \u2014 `InputReq` gains `ack: bool` (serde default = true, N-1-safe: an older brain's input still acks = today's behavior). `serve_attach`'s operator path calls `send_effect_no_ack` (ack=false) \u2192 `dispatch_input` writes NO applied frame \u2192 the per-conn handler never writes back while servicing the flood \u2192 it always drains \u2192 no deadlock (cures ANY input flood). `shellchan` keeps `send_effect` (ack=true) and its `Applied`-wait. Exactly-once PRESERVED: the broker still dedups by (session, op_id) at the applied-set regardless of the ack. N-1 caveat: an OLD resident broker (self-update window) ignores `ack=false` \u2192 still acks \u2192 the deadlock persists until a broker restart (inherent KNOWN-HAZARDS 7.9 broker-resident-wire-change class).

ROOT (todlando code-read, docs/UPDATE-WEDGE-2-ROUND3-CODEREAD.md; the net-runtime AND the counter-54 reap-drive were both FALSIFIED first \u2014 docs/UPDATE-WEDGE-2-ROUND3-RIG-VERDICT.md): a conn's send half is a single `SharedSend = Arc<Mutex<SendHalf>>` (broker.rs:78). Subscriber writer threads (`viewer_writer` broker.rs:1333/1342, `controller_writer` :1451) hold `send.lock()` ACROSS a BLOCKING `write_frame`; the dispatch reply path (`send_frame` :4221 \u2192 KIND_SESSIONS_REPLY / KIND_NET_STATUS_REPLY) needs the SAME lock. `resume_sessions` (brain.rs:1031\u21921054) subscribes every session as a Viewer onto the brain's MAIN conn \u2014 which is ALSO the brain's request/reply channel. The daemon brain hosts no PTY sessions (brainproc.rs:184) so run_brain never drains that output; it reads the conn only during the 500ms-heartbeat net_status()/sessions() calls (drain-and-DISCARD, `_ => continue`). When an actively-streaming session backs the conn up, a subscriber writer BLOCKS in write_frame holding send.lock() \u2192 the dispatch thread can't send the heartbeat reply \u2192 net_status()/sessions() never return \u2192 the heartbeat loop stalls \u2192 the brain never drains \u2192 the writer stays blocked = SELF-DEADLOCK on the brain conn's send mutex \u2192 every subscriber writer on it wedges \u2192 BRAIN_SUBSCRIBER_STALL_EVICT (controller writer blocked >15s).

    "titleA": "A resize transition is ATOMIC from ScreenGrid's perspective: every byte is parsed at the geometry it was EMITTED under. (hertz v0.39.0 field RCA 2026-07-21, doyle re-grounded at source the same hour; P0 \u2014 this falsifies a SHIPPED v0.39.0 release claim, so it is a regression, not new scope.) SYMPTOM: right-margin fragments and left-shifted rows on a node where CLI and broker are BOTH 0.39.0 \u2014 i.e. exactly the defect the v0.39.0 notes claim fixed. SOURCE (statically provable, no repro box required): broker.rs dispatch_resize calls session.resize(SurfaceSize::new(rows, cols)) (~4557-4559) and only THEN recover_log(&log).set_size_and_notify(rows, cols) (~4560), which reaches self.grid.resize(rows, cols) (~1492) \u2014 TWO SEPARATE recover_log acquisitions, so the reader thread's append/parse interleaves between them BY CONSTRUCTION. On ConPTY the resize ITSELF emits a full repaint asynchronously; the reader parses that repaint into the grid at the OLD geometry; the subsequent top-left-preserving grid.resize then faithfully preserves an ALREADY-MISWRAPPED model; the cold attach repaint emits the shift. WHY THE EXISTING TESTS PASS: the spt-term width oracle (REQ-SCREENGRID-WIDTH's int stage) is green 5/5 while the field is red \u2014 it never crosses the ConPTY-emission -> grid-geometry -> attach-repaint seam, and the surface mock structurally cannot. The W3 width model is therefore NOT falsified; it is correct work running under a broken geometry transition. FIX \u2014 and the record must carry WHY the obvious fix is wrong: merely REORDERING (set grid geometry before invoking the ConPTY resize) is INSUFFICIENT. It is safe on a GROW and unsafe on a SHRINK, because bytes already in flight at the old WIDER geometry are then parsed at the new narrow width and wrap early. Neither pure ordering is correct because the defect is not the ORDER \u2014 it is that the grid has no notion of 'these bytes were emitted under the old geometry'. Required shape: quiesce/gate the drain across the ordered surface+grid transition AND carry an explicit geometry EPOCH so parse always reckons at the emitting geometry, with rollback/refetch of the grid geometry if the surface resize fails. Gate: doc \u2014 the epoch/barrier contract stated where the resize path is documented, including the shrink counter-example so the insufficient reorder is not re-proposed; impl \u2014 barrier + geometry epoch + failure rollback in the dispatch_resize/set_size_and_notify path; unit \u2014 a resize whose repaint bytes arrive mid-transition is parsed at the emitting geometry (both grow AND shrink), and a failed surface resize leaves the grid geometry unchanged; int \u2014 Windows REAL ConPTY (not the surface mock): resize emits a dense frame, then the synthesized attach repaint is compared against an INDEPENDENT terminal authority, never ScreenGrid against itself. FIXTURE AMENDMENT (hertz field supplement 2026-07-21 second capture, doyle-accepted, carried by todlando at build): the dense frame is ordinary readable PROSE with REPEATED WORDS and punctuation, not sparse synthetic markers \u2014 the field captures are semantic corruption of rendered content (`ReQ2`, `ROADMAPnsayh'credertigls`, `Recommend:gdirect REST`, `thii reqw st`, `resdluuion`: clobber, merge, substitution and displacement of width-1 cells MID-ROW), and repeated words are what make a displaced fragment land somewhere that still looks plausible \u2014 the shape that let this read as cosmetic. The leg must fail on DELETION, INSERTION, SUBSTITUTION, MERGE or DISPLACEMENT of any width-1 cell, with NO normalization and NO presence-only assertions (full-row untrimmed string equality plus equal row counts satisfies this by construction). CONSTRAINT, binding: the fixture stays inside the region where the authority emulator and ConPTY AGREE \u2014 the screen at the resize instant carries no line reaching either margin and loses no row, so reflow-vs-truncate is a no-op on it, and the wrap-crossing prose is emitted AFTER the transition opens, at the new geometry. A fixture crossing the margin at the resize instant would red on emulator POLICY DIVERGENCE rather than on this defect; pinning the wrap policy between authority and ConPTY is separate work and must not be smuggled in here. The comparison is EVERY CELL, including cells expected to be BLANK \u2014 not row starts, right margins, or text presence. The dense frame must include erased interior spans and repeated spaces, and those cells must still be blank after the synthesized repaint. (hertz field supplement 2026-07-21, doyle-accepted: the operator confirmed a THIRD corruption shape on the same fully-0.39.0 node \u2014 stale characters surviving INSIDE nominal whitespace between words, e.g. `isnsettled`, `fulllyacaptured`. A mis-widthed repaint places glyphs into wrong interior cells; later differential output and EL operations address the CORRECT geometry and so do not necessarily clear them; the synthesized cold repaint then faithfully re-emits the contaminated interior. Accepted as further evidence for THIS requirement, not a new root, on a DISCRIMINATION rather than the prediction: the captured debris is pure ASCII, every glyph width-1, so no width-table or wide-half defect can produce it \u2014 and the erase paths are already width-normalized on both halves at screen.rs clear_cell_keep_pen ~416/~420, the span helper ~440-443, and delete/insert_chars ~617-620, with erase_across_a_wide_half_leaves_no_orphan ~1391 passing. Word-scale `isn`+`settled` collapsing across a space is the same shifted-by-N placement as the whole-row left shift, observed at word scale. OPEN DISCRIMINATOR: interior debris in a session where NO resize occurred at any point would mean a SECOND root that this fix will not clear.) BINDING CONSTRAINT on satisfying the blank-cell assertions: NO whitespace special-casing and NO extra clears \u2014 the barrier must restore ONE geometry authority for glyph placement AND erasure. A fix that passes by clearing harder satisfies the test and leaves the defect. KNOWN ACCEPTED RESIDUAL (doyle ruling 2026-07-21): a cold attach landing DURING a transition renders the PRE-TRANSITION screen \u2014 the held bytes are not parsed yet. Accepted because it is a strict improvement over the shipped behavior on the same input (pre-fix: miswrapped/corrupt; post-fix: stale but coherent). The window is bounded in TIME (settle + one surface call) AND \u2014 since REQ-RC-RESIZE-PRESENTATION-BARRIER (built 2026-07-21) \u2014 in VISIBILITY: the commit/abort-time sync frame delivers every attached sink, transition-era attachers included, the fresh repaint the moment the barrier tears down, quiet child or not (the successor REQ's commit-time sync frame IS the follow-up seed this residual carried, absorbed by construction). The attach itself still renders the pre-transition screen for the width of the window.
