Outcome

Repeated OpenClaw onboarding and --resume reuse the registered dashboard port when its listener is the exact existing OpenShell ForwardTcp service for that sandbox. A foreign or ambiguous listener still fails closed.

Reason

Direct OpenShell service forwards are detached host processes and do not appear in openshell forward list. The create and finalization steps therefore treated the existing NemoClaw dashboard forward as an unrelated port occupant and stopped repeated onboarding with Registered dashboard port 18789 is already occupied.

Fixes #11074

Changes

  • Prove ownership from one stable IPv4 listener PID, the resolved OpenShell executable, and the complete gateway, workspace, sandbox, bind, and target arguments before reusing a bound port.
  • Use IPv4-scoped lsof first and a bounded Linux /proc/net/tcp fallback when lsof is unavailable.
  • Apply the same ownership rule during onboarding finalization and sandbox forward recovery.
  • Construct the ForwardTcp target through one shared adapter factory used by onboarding and recovery.
  • Keep the registered port through Ready-sandbox reuse and resume. Unknown, changing, or sibling-owned listeners remain errors and are never adopted.
  • Check the real host listener process in the existing double-onboard and onboard-resume E2E targets because direct ForwardTcp services are not reported by the legacy forward list.

Verification

  • Exact candidate: d7d8f826f9a1d7ce17bcd95cf9f7d90f95102e2b (GitHub verified).
  • Conflict resolution: current main was integrated through verified merge commits; GitHub reports the PR mergeable with no conflict.
  • Post-conflict contributor validation: npm run validate:pr passed.
  • Focused ownership regression: src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.test.ts passed 13/13, including an IPv6-only listener on the same numeric port and fail-closed foreign, ambiguous, changing, spoofed, timeout, and bounded-work cases.
  • Finalization regression: test/onboarding/onboard-finalization-dashboard-forward.test.ts passed 6/6.
  • npm run typecheck:cli passed.
  • Exact-head standard PR CI passed, including all 12 CLI shards and the aggregate CLI gate.
  • Exact-head managed-image publication and qualification passed.
  • Exact-head focused live PR E2E passed all four required targets in one workflow: double-onboard, onboard-resume, token-rotation, and brave-search. Correlation ID: 955ecc70-c34e-4d82-b171-45cf4cb49b3b.
  • Maintainer-reported local manual rerun: onboarding reused the healthy gateway and Ready tm sandbox, retained dashboard port 18789, completed policy selection, and verified deployment without the former port conflict. The transcript does not print a commit SHA, so the workflow above provides revision-bound evidence.
  • Exact-head PR Advisor completed successfully. Written suggestions and their maintainer dispositions are recorded in the latest evidence comment.
  • Secrets review: the diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Re-onboarding can reuse an existing OpenClaw dashboard connection when it is verified as belonging to the expected sandbox.
    • Resume and repair flows preserve the existing dashboard port and connection when possible, avoiding unnecessary reallocation.
    • Dashboard connection checks validate listener identity and stability across supported platforms.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Conflicting or ambiguously owned dashboard connections now fail safely instead of being reused.
    • Added guidance for handling occupied dashboard ports during OpenClaw re-onboarding.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OpenClaw onboarding now verifies listener ownership before reusing a persisted dashboard port. It supports owned-forward reuse during re-onboarding and resume, preserves fail-closed behavior for foreign listeners, and expands recovery and end-to-end coverage.

Changes

OpenClaw forward reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Forward listener ownership detection
src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.test.ts
Adds validated targets and cross-platform ownership checks using listener PIDs, executable identity, exact command lines, and stability checks.
Dashboard port reuse flow
src/lib/onboard/dashboard.ts, src/lib/onboard/dashboard-forward-control.ts, src/lib/onboard/agent-dashboard-forward.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-reuse.ts, src/lib/onboard/*test.ts
Reuses an owned OpenClaw listener on the persisted port, rejects registry conflicts, and restores dashboard forwarding during reuse.
Forward recovery validation
src/lib/actions/sandbox/forward-recovery.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/forward-recovery-declared-ports.test.ts
Validates the expected OpenShell listener during recovery and fails closed when ownership cannot be proven.
End-to-end and regression coverage
test/e2e/fixtures/clients/host.ts, test/e2e/live/*, test/e2e/support/e2e-clients.test.ts, test/onboarding/*, test/process-recovery/*, docs/manage-sandboxes/run-sandboxes.mdx, ci/e2e-assertion-budget.json, test/e2e/mock-parity.json
Adds listener inspection and verifies dashboard, sandbox identity, port, and forward retention across onboarding, resume, recovery, and release flows. Test fixtures and assertion baselines are updated.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Impact reflects medium issue severity.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: High

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d440

This change improves OpenClaw dashboard-forward reuse, but invalid configuration values can still reach detached forwards and several regression paths can pass without proving identity, ownership, or managed-image lifecycle behavior. These issues should be addressed before merge.

Reviewed at head 46d405bded32f53f6e4c4c18f46ba333a27dba00. Two blockers, three majors.

Blocker 1 — five CLI shards fail, and this lane is green on main

Run 34110586131 fails shards 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. Main HEAD 814772eed (run 34085993504) fails only sandbox-images-and-e2e / test-hermes-sandbox-image and checks, so cli-test-shards is green on main and this regression belongs to the PR.

Failing suites, all with forwardAction=failed result=failed failedStage=forward:

  • test/cli/connect-recovery.test.ts:54,285
  • test/process-recovery/process-recovery.test.ts:117,350,577
  • test/process-recovery/process-recovery-custom-agent.test.ts:154,230
  • test/sandbox-connect-inference/auto-pair-approval.test.ts:277,326,395,433
  • test/state/snapshot-gateway-guard.test.ts:379
  • src/lib/actions/sandbox/process-recovery-managed-startup.test.ts:76

Mechanism: isSandboxPortForwardHealthy now calls isForwardServiceListenerOwner (forward-recovery.ts:383). Those suites bind a real Node listener (connect-recovery.test.ts:145-151) against a stubbed openshell script, so the ownership probe reads /proc/<pid>/exe as node, mismatches target.executable, and reports the forward dead. The PR adds the isForwardServiceListenerOwner mock to only forward-recovery-declared-ports.test.ts; no other suite mocks the forward-service module.

Changing the contract of a shared health function needs every consumer suite updated in the same change. The Verification section lists focused runs only, so the full CLI lane result is not visible there.

Blocker 2 — process.env.CHAT_UI_URL is written and never restored

dashboard.ts:594-599 sets process.env.CHAT_UI_URL before calling ensureAgentDashboardForward. That function already has save/restore for the same variable (agent-dashboard-forward.ts:59-63, restored at :144), but it snapshots on entry — so it captures the value this PR just wrote and restores it to itself. The variable leaks for the rest of the CLI process and into every child process spawned afterwards. The hardcoded http://127.0.0.1: also ignores NEMOCLAW_DASHBOARD_BIND and WSL.

Please pass the URL through the existing chatUiUrl parameter instead of mutating the environment.

Major 3 — removed double-onboard coverage is justified by an open bug

ci/e2e-assertion-budget.json drops double-onboard.test.ts from [88,97,88,97,0] to [85,94,85,94,0]. The removed block stops sandbox B's forward, asserts B released and A retained, runs nemoclaw <B> start, and asserts B's forward is restored — that is stopped-sandbox restart plus sibling isolation across a stop.

The PR body attributes this to #10681, but #10681 is an open Recommended Blocker bug ("OpenClaw startup recovery fails with 'unsafe config path: GATEWAY_UNSAFE_CONFIG_PATH' after stopped-sandbox restart"). That is why the assertion is red, not who owns the coverage. Removing it masks the failure. This needs an explicit maintainer decision rather than a review note.

Major 4 — reverses the perf direction merged in #11019

Each isSandboxPortForwardHealthy call now costs three spawnSync on Linux (lsof, ps, lsof) and four on macOS, each with a 5s timeout, and it runs per port inside loops at forward-recovery.ts:454 and :554. #11019 (merged 2026-09-04, under #10926) removed subprocess-per-port TCP liveness for exactly this overhead. Consider caching by (port, pid) for one run, or scoping the ownership probe to the onboarding reuse branch instead of the shared health function.

Major 5 — overlaps #11157 on the same file

#11157 also adds owned-listener handling to src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.ts, so the second of the two to merge will conflict. #11157 also attributes forward-child death to a missing XDG_CONFIG_HOME in the sanitized child environment; if that holds, the listener is often gone and this PR's reuse branch never runs. Please confirm merge order and which PR owns the ownership API.

Minor

  1. test/e2e/fixtures/clients/host.ts hardcodes --gateway nemoclaw --workspace default … --local 127.0.0.1:${port}, a second copy of buildForwardServiceArgs. Build the expected command line from the production helper.
  2. forward-service.ts:253 compares argv literally while processExecutableMatches compares via realpathSync. A forward launched through a symlinked or PATH-resolved openshell path passes the executable check and fails the argv check, so the user still hits [Onboard] Re-onboarding a Ready sandbox rejects its existing ForwardTcp dashboard listener #11074.
  3. dashboard.ts forwardTarget() hardcodes workspace: "default" while forward-recovery.ts uses runtimeSelection?.workspace. Under a non-default OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE, onboarding-created forwards are permanently judged unowned.
  4. linuxListenerPids returns [] both when there is no listener and when the /proc work budget is exceeded. Fail-closed is correct, but the user sees "port already occupied" with no way to tell the probe gave up.
  5. mayReuseOpenClawForward is limited to agent.name === "openclaw", so re-onboarding a Ready Hermes sandbox still throws. Is that an intentional scope bound to [Onboard] Re-onboarding a Ready sandbox rejects its existing ForwardTcp dashboard listener #11074?
  6. The new docs line says onboarding "reports the listener conflict", but the thrown message is Registered dashboard port N is already occupied; it cannot be reallocated or adopted. and names no listener. Align one with the other.
  7. host.ts puts a foreign process's ps -o args= output into identity and output, which are printed into CI logs and assertion messages. That needs a terminal-escape guard, not shell quoting.

What looks right

No shell is used for the probes, the PID is regex-validated, and the port is numeric, so there is no injection surface. The before/after PID snapshot is a reasonable TOCTOU guard, LINUX_PROC_WORK_LIMIT bounds the /proc scan, the sibling guard types line up (Map<string,string> against String(port)), the fail-closed negative test is real, and createForwardServiceTarget correctly removes two copies of the target literal.

Evidence for #11074

Commit under test: 46d405bded32f53f6e4c4c18f46ba333a27dba00

Focused GitHub E2E

The required targets passed in one manual PR E2E workflow:

  • double-onboard passed. Re-onboarding reused the Ready sandbox and existing dashboard listener without a port conflict.
  • onboard-resume passed. Resume did not loop on the existing dashboard listener.
  • token-rotation passed its messaging assertion.
  • brave-search passed its re-onboarding phase with the existing dashboard forward.

Local manual evidence

A maintainer repeated onboarding for the existing tm sandbox and observed:

  • NemoClaw reused the healthy OpenShell gateway.
  • NemoClaw reused the Ready tm sandbox.
  • OpenClaw setup completed with dashboard port 18789 unchanged.
  • Policy selection and deployment verification completed.
  • The former Registered dashboard port 18789 is already occupied error did not occur.

The terminal transcript does not print a Git commit. This manual result supports the observed behavior; the GitHub workflow above provides commit-bound evidence.

Security-negative evidence

The local regression suite passed cases for foreign, ambiguous, changing, spoofed, and over-budget listener evidence. These listeners still fail closed.

This evidence satisfies the focused acceptance requirement for #11074. A full E2E run is not required for this issue.

Keep the ownership mock narrow.

loaded.isForwardServiceListenerOwner = () => true approves every listener target. Tests using this shared fixture can pass without checking the executable, PID, or complete ForwardTcp arguments. Scope the mock to the exact fixture target, or inject the positive result only at the specific caller. Keep foreign-listener cases on the real predicate.

The PR objective requires foreign listeners to fail closed, and src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.ts defines the ownership control bypassed here.

Do not make the ownership check unconditional in shared test setup.

The preload replaces isForwardServiceListenerOwner with a function that always returns true. It ignores the stable PID, resolved executable, and complete ForwardTcp argument match required by this PR. test/state/snapshot-gateway-guard.test.ts then treats a plain process.execPath -e listener as owned. Shared recovery and connect fixtures can also bypass foreign or ambiguous-listener rejection cases.

Keep the platform override separate from an ownership fixture. Use an ownership stub only in tests that explicitly exclude ownership validation. Keep negative listener tests on the real ownership path or stub the process-discovery boundary with explicit owned and foreign fixtures.

As per path instructions, tests must verify behavioral outcomes and must not use broad mocks that bypass the behavior under test.

Assert the complete lifecycle observation set.

This filter removes every unscoped command before the assertion runs. A regression can add an unscoped observation and still pass while six scoped commands remain. Assert that no lifecycle observation is unscoped, then validate the allowed command forms.

As per path instructions, tests should prove behavioral outcomes instead of filtering a mock-call list before checking it.

Reviewed at head 2c265bbf714fed4667a12fb1604a49638fdc1257. Two blockers, three majors.

CI is green now, and all product files are byte-identical to the head I last reviewed. My earlier #11157 overlap and double-onboard phase-removal points no longer apply.

Blocker 1 — an IPv6-only listener makes ownership fail, bringing #11074 back

isForwardServiceListenerOwner requires exactly one PID, but the selector lsof -ti :${port} -sTCP:LISTEN is not scoped to an address family, and the /proc fallback reads both tcp and tcp6. Measured on Linux against a baseline:

IPv4 loopback listener only:                    1723907            count=1
plus an IPv6-only listener (IPV6_V6ONLY),
same port, second process:                      1723907 1723969    count=2

Two PIDs means before.length !== 1 returns false, so re-onboarding throws Registered dashboard port 18789 is already occupied — the exact failure this PR fixes — while our own ForwardTcp process is the correct owner and the IPv6-only listener does not contend with it.

src/lib/inference/ollama/proxy.ts:428-431 already solved this for #4820 by scoping to -ti4TCP:${PORT}: "An IPv6-only listener (e.g. ::1 with IPV6_V6ONLY) does NOT conflict". Please scope the selector to the family implied by target.localHost, and read only /proc/net/tcp for an IPv4 bind.

Blocker 2 — process.env.CHAT_UI_URL is written outside the restore scope

dashboard.ts sets it in ensureFinalizationAgentDashboardForward before calling ensureAgentDashboardForward, which snapshots previousChatUiUrl on entry (agent-dashboard-forward.ts:59) and restores in finally (:144) — so it restores the value this PR just wrote. Previously the variable was cleared; now it survives the call and reaches every child process spawned afterwards. The new test covers the agent == null branch, which already wrote it before this PR; the agent branch has no coverage. Passing the URL through the existing chatUiUrl parameter avoids the mutation.

Major 3 — reverses the perf direction merged in #11019

Each isSandboxPortForwardHealthy call now costs three spawnSync on Linux and four on macOS, 5s timeout each, per port, inside loops at forward-recovery.ts:454 and :554. #11019 removed subprocess-per-port liveness for exactly this cost. Cache by (port, pid) for one run, or scope ownership to the onboarding reuse gate rather than the shared health function.

Major 4 — the ownership stub sits in a shared helper

syntheticForwardNodeOptions forces isForwardServiceListenerOwner to () => true for the whole child process, and it is called from test/sandbox-connect-inference/helpers.ts:590 (the shared runner for that directory) and test/runtime/gateway/recover-port-forward.test.ts:335, whose subject is port-forward recovery. The match on endsWith("/adapters/openshell/forward-service") also means a specifier change silently drops the stub. Eleven test files needed adjusting — is ownership at the right altitude, given isSandboxPortForwardHealthy is shared with messaging and Hermes recovery while ownership is only needed at the reuse gate?

Major 5 — the removed restart assertion is deferred to an open bug

The nemoclaw <B> start restart-restores-forward assertion is attributed to #10681, which is an open Recommended Blocker bug — that is why it is red, not who owns the coverage. Please confirm a maintainer accepts the gap rather than leaving it in the PR body.

Minor

  1. host.ts puts a foreign process's ps -o args= output into identity and output unredacted, and command.ts:28 does not redact, so both reach CI artifacts. proxy.ts:456-459 names this the codebase convention because argv can carry a secret.
  2. The same fixture hardcodes --gateway nemoclaw --workspace default … --local 127.0.0.1:${port}, a second copy of buildForwardServiceArgs.
  3. forward-service.ts compares argv literally but the executable via realpathSync, so a symlinked or PATH-resolved openshell still fails closed.
  4. dashboard.ts hardcodes workspace: "default" while forward-recovery.ts uses runtimeSelection?.workspace.
  5. Reuse is gated on agent.name === "openclaw", so re-onboarding a Ready Hermes sandbox still throws. Intentional?
  6. The docs line says onboarding "reports the listener conflict", but the message names no listener.

Probe internals otherwise look right: no shell, validated PID and port, before/after snapshot, bounded /proc scan, and good negative coverage including darwin.

Maintainer review disposition for head 766105a

Accepted and fixed:

  • IPv6-only listener false conflict: listener discovery is now IPv4-scoped in both lsof and Linux proc inspection. The existing Linux ownership regression now includes a separate IPv6-only PID on the same numeric port.

Reviewed and not accepted as blockers for #11074:

  • CHAT_UI_URL: publishing the effective dashboard URL is established behavior. The reported concern is limited to an already-failing, terminating onboarding attempt and has no demonstrated user-visible regression.
  • Per-port subprocess cost: probes are bounded and no measured regression or acceptance threshold failure was provided. Adding caching would expand this narrow fix.
  • Shared synthetic ownership fixtures: deterministic subprocess tests use synthetic ownership only where their fake Node listener cannot represent an OpenShell binary; the focused live E2E exercises the real process boundary.
  • Removed stop-then-start phase: the two Advisor reports and the human review describe one duplicate coverage finding. That restart behavior remains owned by OpenClaw startup recovery fails with 'unsafe config path: GATEWAY_UNSAFE_CONFIG_PATH' after stopped-sandbox restart #10681 and is explicitly deferred; the [Onboard] Re-onboarding a Ready sandbox rejects its existing ForwardTcp dashboard listener #11074 double-onboard target owns repeated onboarding and exact listener reuse.
  • Executable aliases, non-default workspace, Hermes reuse, and documentation wording are advisory or outside the accepted OpenClaw scope. This PR does not generalize the fix.

No caching, new abstraction, Hermes behavior, or unrelated lifecycle work is being added.

Re-reviewed at head 1c1b1a152fb10d294cb76cf3d9c456a6c3877e27.

Blocker 1 is fixed. Re-ran my repro against the merged selector:

OLD  lsof -ti :39412 -sTCP:LISTEN     -> 1799378 1799379   count=2
NEW  lsof -ti4TCP:39412 -sTCP:LISTEN  -> 1799378           count=1

With tcp6 dropped from the /proc reader and the fixture carrying a separate IPv6-only PID, that closes.

The disposition on the synthetic fixtures, the removed restart phase, and the Hermes/workspace/docs scope all make sense to me. Two things left.

Subprocess cost — here is the measurement

One Linux host, 341 processes, same port, with a baseline:

baseline spawnSync of /bin/true               2.2 ms
lsof -ti4TCP:PORT -sTCP:LISTEN  (as merged) 589.5 ms
lsof -nP -ti4TCP:PORT -sTCP:LISTEN          590.8 ms
ps -ww -p PID -o args=                       15.0 ms
linuxListenerPids() from this PR, in-process 11.3 ms

One check is lsof + ps + lsof, so ~1194 ms per port per health check. -nP does not help, so this is not name resolution — lsof walks every process's descriptors. The /proc reader already in this PR returns the same PID in 11.3 ms, which would put the same check at ~38 ms.

linuxListenerPids runs only when lsof is absent, so Linux hosts that have lsof always take the slower path. Preferring /proc first on Linux and keeping lsof as the fallback is a reorder inside listenerPids() — no caching, no new abstraction, same fail-closed semantics. lsof cost scales with the host's total open descriptors so absolute numbers vary, but the /proc comparison is same-host and same-port.

Two small notes

  • On CHAT_UI_URL: the write is guarded by !process.env.CHAT_UI_URL, and fresh onboarding sets that during sandbox creation, so I read the branch as reachable on resume or repeated onboarding — the path this PR makes succeed. If that reading is wrong I would like to know where. Either way I could not find a downstream reader that breaks, so it is a nit, not a change request.
  • isForwardServiceListenerOwner compares argv literally but the executable through realpathSync. If resolveOpenshell() ever returns a different path than the one a still-running forward was launched with (an OpenShell upgrade between onboarding runs), the executable check passes, argv fails, and the user sees Registered dashboard port N is already occupied again — same fail-closed direction as the IPv6 case. Advisory.

Everything else from my earlier rounds is withdrawn.

Final exact-head evidence for #11074

Identity remained unchanged before dispatch and after completion:

  • PR head: 1c1b1a152fb10d294cb76cf3d9c456a6c3877e27
  • PR base: ef80bcb9aca58953157caccf1e3063c72f043674

  • Source repository/owner: NVIDIA/NemoClaw / NVIDIA organization
  • Correlation ID: 32b730f4-06df-4308-89c0-ac5dc0822375

P0 gates

  • Standard PR CI: passed, including all 12 CLI shards and the aggregate CLI gate.
  • Exact-head managed-image publication and qualification: passed, including the OpenClaw build, contract validation, startup smoke test, exact-digest publication, all-agent activation, and both OpenClaw MCP discovery passes.
  • Focused PR E2E, attempt 1: passed. All four required targets ran in the same workflow:
    • double-onboard: passed. Re-onboarding reused the Ready sandbox without a dashboard-port conflict.
    • onboard-resume: passed. Resume did not loop on the existing dashboard listener.
    • token-rotation: passed its real messaging assertion.
    • brave-search: passed through its re-onboarding phase with the existing dashboard forward.

Local fail-closed evidence

  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.test.ts: 12/12 passed. The Linux ownership fixture includes a harmless IPv6-only listener on the same numeric port while foreign, ambiguous, changing, spoofed, timeout, and bounded-work cases remain rejected.
  • npx vitest run --project integration test/onboarding/onboard-finalization-dashboard-forward.test.ts: 6/6 passed.
  • npm run typecheck:cli, npm run format:check, and npm run validate:pr: passed.

Review disposition

The accepted IPv6 finding is fixed by scoping both lsof and Linux /proc ownership discovery to IPv4, matching the IPv4-only forward target. The earlier maintainer disposition remains applicable to this merge-only descendant head.

The exact-head PR Advisor run reports no required security or simplification change. Its remaining two evidence requests are not merge blockers for #11074:

No caching, new abstraction, Hermes behavior, unrelated lifecycle work, or extra live selector is added.

Do not use this mock for managed-image cases. The messaging fixtures enable the managed-image catalog and install this mock before createSandbox. When workload preparation returns source.kind === "managed-image", the real lifecycle adds managedStateMounts and managedStateMountDriverId before materialization and commits the prepared scope. This mock drops both behaviors, so the test can pass without validating mount projection or volume commit. Use the real lifecycle with isolated dependencies for managed-image scenarios.

Approving at head d7d8f826f9a1d7ce17bcd95cf9f7d90f95102e2b.

The IPv6-only listener defect is fixed. I re-ran my repro against the merged selector: lsof -ti4TCP:PORT -sTCP:LISTEN returns the single IPv4 owner where the previous form returned two PIDs, and the /proc reader no longer consults tcp6.

I verified the stop-then-start disposition. test/e2e/live/dashboard-remote-bind.test.ts runs nemoclaw <name> stop and start and asserts the dashboard forward is reachable afterwards, and the new double-onboard still compares sandbox A's listener identity across sibling B's stop, so both halves of the removed block have an owner.

I withdraw my non-default workspace point. Every production OpenShellRuntimeSelection uses "default" and buildOpenShellRuntimeSelectionEnv strips ambient OPENSHELL_* before writing the selection's own value, so the mismatch I described is not reachable.

Nothing else outstanding from my earlier rounds.

…does not own

`nemoclaw <name> recover` reported the dashboard forward restored and
exited 0 while an unrelated process held the port, so the printed
dashboard URL and its token went to that process (#11149). #11128 made
the healthy check prove listener ownership, so recovery now fails; it
still called the forward "missing or dead" and relaunched onto the
occupied port, reporting that launch's "already occupied" second-hand.

Classify the listener as owned, absent, legacy or unverified. Recovery
refuses an unverified listener before any retirement or launch, names
the port and the owner lookup, leaves the process untouched, and the
probe failure detail carries the port so `recover` exits 1 with
forwardAction=failed.
