Title: B3: `spt daemon stop` then an immediate `spt daemon start` does NOT race — stop fully completes before it returns. Today request_stop (seedmap.rs:240-255) returns on the KIND_STOPPING ack (sent seedmap.rs:174-176) BEFORE the seed socket unbinds, so a following is_running ping (daemon.rs:375) wins the exit window and start reports ALREADY_RUNNING (operator: daemon stop → STOPPED then start → ALREADY_RUNNING). FIX: unbind/stop-gate the seed socket BEFORE acking KIND_STOPPING, OR request_stop waits for a ping-to-fail before returning. Unit: stop then immediate is_running()==false. (v0.12.0)

Title: D-2 (REMOTE-TRUTH triage §D-2 + operator Q5 @c248afc): the session ledger records the adapter[:profile] a session ran under, so a later resume can restore the harness the session actually used (not merely the endpoint's CURRENT stamp). ROOT: SessionEntry (spt-store/sessions.rs:58) carries ts/session_id/trigger/cwd/ordinal but NOT the adapter — a resume-from-history row cannot know which harness authored the transcript, so a resume under a since-changed endpoint adapter (B-2 ChangeAdapter, or a fork) launches the wrong harness. FIX: an ADDITIVE `adapter: Option` on SessionEntry, exact cwd/ordinal serde pattern (#[serde(default, skip_serializing_if="Option::is_none")]) — a pre-migration row missing the key deserializes None; None omits the key on serialize (byte-identical to old rows); an unknown key on an old reader is ignored (serde default) — back-compat BOTH directions.

Title: A-4 (F029, operator regression): the picker/confirm views drop an endpoint's adapter `:profile` (showed `claude-spt` where `claude-spt:ccs` was created). ROOT: stamp_creation_fields (spt-store/home.rs) gave the incoming BIND-TIME adapter value UNCONDITIONAL precedence (`rec.adapter = adapter.map(...).or_else(prior)`), but a hook bind resolves the adapter ADAPTER-AGNOSTICALLY (ADR-0021: a binary basename → the BARE parent, profile unknowable), so the first hook bind rewrote the richer `claude-spt:ccs` → `claude-spt`. (F-028's establish_perch self-heal widened how often this re-stamps; the precedence is the root.) FIX: profile-preserving precedence — when the incoming adapter is exactly the PARENT of the prior's `parent:profile` composite, KEEP the prior; replace only on a genuinely different adapter (or a different explicit profile). Paid-for field bug → hazard. See triage A-4.

B: REQ-UPDATE-APPLY-ALREADY-APPLIED
Title: `spt update apply` classifies an already-staged / already-applied state as a friendly exit-0 no-op instead of dying at the binary-aside rename with 'Access is denied (os error 5)'. ROOT (F-025): a second apply on an already-applied staged version reaches the two-phase binary-aside rename and fails os-error-5, reading as a hard failure when the machine is simply up to date. FIX: apply gains the same pure classifier `fetch` got in v0.18.0 (REQ-UPDATE-FETCH-CURRENT-UX) — already-applied → clear message + exit 0, and the flow MUST short-circuit BEFORE the binary-aside rename in that state; mirror the classifier at ALL apply reject/entry sites the way the fetch fix covered its three.

ROOT: for an spt-hosted endpoint (broker PTY, headless) `rec.pid` is the ephemeral bind-CLI pid, ALREADY DEAD by send time (the F-026 #11 dead-pid class, field-sighted on hall-bf) — never in any sender's ancestry and alive-gated out — so an spt-hosted sender could NEVER resolve self via leg (c): its messages were from-stamped `cli@NODE` (operator #7) and replies bounced NO_PERCH. FIX: detect_self_by_ancestry pushes a second candidate (id, parent_pid) when `rec.parent_pid` is Some + alive; the pure nearest-first matcher (match_self_by_ancestry) is unchanged. LABEL-ONLY, exactly like the rest of leg (c): from-label/routing default, NEVER authentication — authenticate() untouched, the pid-ancestry-for-auth question stays parked (KH 7.3/7.5 separation holds; a wrong label self-corrects, a wrong grant does not).

That leaves the residual 'online + no Psyche + no cause' gap: the nested `{id}-psyche` info.json is written status=online with a real-but-DEAD pid and the PARENT perch carries NO psyche_host_error (perri's F-010: tasklist showed 0 host procs across the window while info.json read online). The host MUST confirm RESIDENCY — a hosted child not alive (or whose `{id}-psyche` perch never re-registers / has a dead pid) within N seconds of spawn is treated as a host failure: stamp the parent perch `psyche_host_error{reason:"host not resident within s (psyche perch missing/dead pid)"}` (and do not leave a phantom online nested perch).

ROOT: controller_writer held the SharedSend = Arc> guard ACROSS a blocking write_frame; on Windows interprocess 2.4.2 routes the send to WriteFileEx + SleepEx(INFINITE, alertable) with NO supported write timeout (set_timeout → Unsupported), so an `rc --take` controller consumer that stops reading blocks the write INDEFINITELY (~127.95 s in the field capture, released only when a brain restart tore the conns down). Logical stall_evict_controller (REQ-HAZARD-BROKER-VIEWER-BRAIN-DECOUPLE) removes the controller ROLE but neither cancels the in-flight pipe write, closes the physical connection, nor invokes CancelIoEx — the detached writer keeps its SharedSend clone + live stack-owned mutex guard.

Title: TEARDOWN-AUTHORITY W3 (hertz field RCA 2026-07-19, doyle-confirmed at source): ScreenGrid models every character as ONE display column, so wide characters (CJK, emoji, and other 2-column glyphs) shift subsequent text left and leave stale scraps at the right margin — field repro on the Claude settings UI (left-shifted rows + To/Wh/Es left-margin scraps). SOURCE: spt-term/src/screen.rs Cell { ch: char, pen } (~127) carries NO width datum, and put_char (~327-343) unconditionally advances col += 1, with pending_wrap likewise advancing a single display cell. FIX: give the grid a real display-width model — a wide glyph occupies its leading cell plus a continuation cell that renders nothing and is never independently addressable; cursor motion, wrap, erase, and scroll all reckon in DISPLAY columns. WIDTH POLICY (hertz-proposed, doyle-ratified — pinned so the renderer and the emulator can never disagree): share ratatui's pinned unicode-width 0.2.0 as a WORKSPACE dependency, ambiguous-width = 1, no CJK-context override.

ROOT (certain, no design tension): the cli `match (adapter,id)` special-cased only (Some,Some)→cmd_endpoint_run; the catch-all routed EVERY lone --id to crate::picker::run as a create-new prefill, never considering an existing endpoint (cli.rs ~1290).

On a MULTI-SUBNET node the Create-new flow gains a `CreateHome` screen (CreateAdapter → CreateId → CreateHome → Confirm) that lists the node's MEMBER subnets MRU-ordered (reusing recent_home::mru_preference + order_by_mru), default cursor = MRU head; the chosen subnet rides Outcome::Run{subnet} into cmd_endpoint_run's --subnet, so decide_run_home resolves Home directly and the post-TUI `Ok to proceed? Y/n` confirm NEVER fires for the picker path. Single-subnet / local-only nodes SKIP the layer (assign_home auto-homes; CreateId → Confirm unchanged).

UX: a friendly post-apply message (`Updated spt-core to vX.Y.Z.` + changelog URL) driven by an additive `product_version` metadata field, with a release-counter fallback when absent.

Title: `spt adapter translate-proof --event [--session ]` — the author-time EMIT-half proof tool for `[message-idle-translation-binary]` (ADR-0022), symmetric to `spt adapter digest-proof` (REQ-TERM-5). It spawns and feeds the adapter's declared translation binary EXACTLY as the daemon does at idle-delivery — running the REAL `spt_daemon::translation` driver VERBATIM (no protocol reimplementation): `TranslationChild::spawn` the binary, send the `{type:"init",endpoint_id,node}` line then the `{type:"event",envelope}` line, and read back the emitted `{key}`/`{text}`/`{delay_ms}`/`{commit}` keystroke-command stream — then prints it author-readable (each Key with its `key_to_bytes` rendering, Text quoted, Delay in ms, Commit marker) with counts. It fills the SAME `{id}`→option and `{session_id}`→(--session, else a placeholder) keys into the `--event` envelope the daemon fills at runtime, so an envelope that proofs here feeds faithfully live. EMIT-half ONLY: it proves the binary's spawn+feed+emit contract; it does NOT exercise the daemon's atomic PTY apply / controller-buffering (that stays covered by the W2 inject_control_wedge int gate) — `--help` says so.

Title: D-2 (REMOTE-TRUTH triage §D-2 + operator Q5 @c248afc): a resume-from-history restores the RECORDED session adapter (REQ-SESSION-ADAPTER-RECORDED) — the resumed harness is the one the session ran under, re-stamped onto the endpoint PRE-SPAWN, and an unregistered recorded adapter refuses LOUDLY before launching anything. ROOT: the picker's resume_outcome (model.rs:1285) bakes adapter=ep.adapter_profile from the selected ENDPOINT, ignoring the ledger row — so a resume always uses the endpoint's CURRENT adapter even when the session ran under a different one; and the endpoint's info.adapter is never re-stamped to the row's on the resume path (cli.rs:1962 skeleton writer early-returns for an existing perch — adapter immutable, carried by bind's stamp_creation_fields).

MIGRATION = rebuild invalid rows from roster on first post-upgrade load; bare-deleting peer-addrs.json is REJECTED (cold recovery depends on the id-only path staying BEHIND warm routes — nuking every warm route trades one trap for another). gapfill_peeraddrs and PeerAddrStore::put stop accepting mismatched mappings (the live 5ff…-outer poison-row class on both incident nodes).

Fix: on a local resolve miss, resolve the owning node from the registry (reuse resolve_across_visible), net_dial that node, and run a remote session-resolve + serve_attach round-trip (mirror the wansend resolve-dial-round-trip pattern).

ROOT: SessionEntry (spt-store/sessions.rs:58) carries ts/session_id/trigger/cwd/ordinal but NOT the adapter — a resume-from-history row cannot know which harness authored the transcript, so a resume under a since-changed endpoint adapter (B-2 ChangeAdapter, or a fork) launches the wrong harness. FIX: an ADDITIVE `adapter: Option` on SessionEntry, exact cwd/ordinal serde pattern (#[serde(default, skip_serializing_if="Option::is_none")]) — a pre-migration row missing the key deserializes None; None omits the key on serialize (byte-identical to old rows); an unknown key on an old reader is ignored (serde default) — back-compat BOTH directions.

Title: A severed broker stream during a live rc session surfaces GRACEFULLY, never as a raw io error that crashes the PTY. The rc read-loop (rc.rs:352-362) continues only on WouldBlock/TimedOut; ANY other read_event_until error — including UnexpectedEof 'failed to fill whole buffer' — returns Err → RC_FAIL → the PTY 'crashes' from the user's view. Confirmed trigger: a deliberate `spt daemon stop` (broker bounce) severs an active rc (perri stopped the daemon to release owlery watch handles). Same severed-broker-stream EOF class as the v0.9.1 seed fix (seed_fail_message) and the listener-death case — spt-core must classify a broker-gone EOF and (a) surface a CLEAR actionable message ('daemon stopped/restarted — re-run / reconnect'), never the raw buffer error, and ideally (b) AUTO-REATTACH to the same session on the fresh broker (the broker is the daemon-lifetime anchor; it returns on the next `spt api` call). FOLD two side-observations: (1) `spt daemon stop` SILENTLY drops active rc/live sessions — warn ('N active session(s) will drop') or graceful-detach on stop; (2) the daemon holds owlery WATCH HANDLES on perch dirs so a torn-down perch dir stays 'Device busy' until a full daemon stop r

ROOT: stamp_creation_fields (spt-store/home.rs) gave the incoming BIND-TIME adapter value UNCONDITIONAL precedence (`rec.adapter = adapter.map(...).or_else(prior)`), but a hook bind resolves the adapter ADAPTER-AGNOSTICALLY (ADR-0021: a binary basename → the BARE parent, profile unknowable), so the first hook bind rewrote the richer `claude-spt:ccs` → `claude-spt`.

Title: A severed broker stream during a live rc session surfaces GRACEFULLY, never as a raw io error that crashes the PTY. The rc read-loop (rc.rs:352-362) continues only on WouldBlock/TimedOut; ANY other read_event_until error — including UnexpectedEof 'failed to fill whole buffer' — returns Err → RC_FAIL → the PTY 'crashes' from the user's view. Confirmed trigger: a deliberate `spt daemon stop` (broker bounce) severs an active rc (perri stopped the daemon to release owlery watch handles). Same severed-broker-stream EOF class as the v0.9.1 seed fix (seed_fail_message) and the listener-death case — spt-core must classify a broker-gone EOF and (a) surface a CLEAR actionable message ('daemon stopped/restarted — re-run / reconnect'), never the raw buffer error, and ideally (b) AUTO-REATTACH to the same session on the fresh broker (the broker is the daemon-lifetime anchor; it returns on the next `spt api` call).

The structured-delta stream stays node-local until a real cross-node subscriber exists (ADR-0048 decision 5, defer-until-consumer; operator-ruled 2026-07-24).

Forcing customer: spt-mobile 'view live digest of ANY endpoint' (host proxies transparently once the refusal lifts).

Title: A digest turn's records gain their stable `seq` at the endpoint's IDLE TRANSITION — the adapter-reported, already-authoritative turn-finished signal — not at next-user-input arrival (which is demoted to a harmless no-op fallback seal). Kills the mint-then-idle deadlock (liam/spt-progress-tool W16: a finished-but-idle turn stayed partial/seq-less, so a seq-keyed scanner could never see the owner's latest turn until the owner was prompted again; interim drive-one-more-command workaround retires at ship). Sealing is IDEMPOTENT and SEQ-STABLE: it assigns seq to what the log holds at idle; a late-flushing straggler record folds into the sealed turn WITHOUT changing the assigned seq. (ADR-0048 decision 4; rejected: extractor-observed completion = banned heuristic inference class; provisional seqs = scanner bug factory.) Gate: int — the liam field shape RED-first: finish a turn, report idle, do NOT prompt again — the turn is sealed with a stable seq and a scanner keyed on seq sees it; fallback leg: next-input on an already-sealed turn re-seals nothing; straggler leg: a post-idle log record folds in, seq unchanged.

Title: A poisoned EffectJournal mutex or a sick NetHost runtime must NOT permanently brick all future attaches. Bug #16 (URGENT): a live spt-hosted endpoint (eel-a) attach fails with 'brain IPC read deadline elapsed' after a self-update brain-respawn — the broker survives the respawn and one journaled op (dispatch_net_stream_open journal.apply_once + loopback open_stream runtime.block_on nethost.rs:1060) enters a bad state, so every journaled attach silently kills its per-conn reply thread while non-journaled ops keep working. Fix: recover PoisonError via into_inner (effect.rs apply_once, replace the .expect panics) so one panic cannot brick all attaches; bound the loopback open_stream block_on (nethost.rs:1060) like the QUIC bounded_block_on so a sick runtime fails fast with an error frame not an opaque 10s deadline.

RULING: that type gate is CORRECT and STAYS. 'ONLINE - HARNESS ONLY' means one specific thing — a LIVE AGENT whose session surface is owned by a harness rather than a broker PTY. Broadening it to 'online non-controllable agent-family' would make one label mean two different things, which is how a status label starts lying. An adapterless ready receiver is a THIRD truth: message-reachable, no session surface at all, nothing to attach to ever.

The controllable discriminator is a NEW InfoJson.controllable: Option (serde-default, N-1-safe), stamped at the establish seam — cmd_listen (harness-hosted relay, no broker PTY) → Some(false); cmd_bind live_agent (spt-hosted broker PTY) → Some(true); absent → not-controllable (amber) default (harness-hosted is the common mis-reported case; one bind self-corrects). Store-projection-only (no live daemon query — doyle ruling). (v0.10.0)

ROOT/SCOPE (doyle proposed, P1c gate dialogue): P1c fixes REQ-HAZARD-CONTROLLER-WRITER-REORDER three ways (handoff single-take + epoch-gate-under-lock + session_cursors seed), removing the one decreasing-floor double-take and bounding any other to already-committed-only.

TODAY spt-daemon/src/broker.rs session_is_zombie computes wrapper_alive from spt_store::proc::is_process_alive, which probes OpenProcess on Windows — and OpenProcess keeps SUCCEEDING for a TERMINATED process while any parent holds an open handle, which the broker ALWAYS does (Arc) for every PTY child it spawned.

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 → id null, exit 1 — 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 → perri, exit 0 — 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 → correct self — the healthy path any fix must leave untouch

ROOT (doyle /diagnose 2026-07-07, field: agent sends stamped `cli@HFENDULEAM` / mis-attributed): `resolve_from` (cli.rs:5480) stamps `cli@` when `detect_self_id` (roster.rs:103) returns None; detect_self_id resolves self ONLY by reverse-lookup — matching `$OWL_SESSION_ID` against a perch's info.json.session_id (then SPT_AGENT_ID, then parent_pid) — and IGNORES `SPT_ENDPOINT_ID`, the authoritative self-id the adapter injects (present in-env as SPT_ENDPOINT_ID=). When a perch record is STOMPED (a cross-id info.json overwrite — the REQ-SPAWN-COLLISION-GUARD-LIVE-DUP damage class; field case: doyle's live session_id written into the deployah perch), the reverse-lookup mis-resolves (doyle session -> `deployah`) or fails (real deployah -> None -> `cli@node`), and the CLI silently believes the stomped store.

DELIBERATE: no empty-buffer fallthrough to back() in the text contexts — mixing delete and nav on one key invites miskeys mid-typing; Esc already backs out (the triage's optional extra, declined).
