Intent

Baue Posten 1 aus dem Dedup-Bauplan: Wedge-Eskalation an eine Episode statt an einen Zaehler binden. bin/fm-watch.sh wedge_timer_check schreibt nicht mehr bei jedem Poll einen sich staendig aendernden 'escalation n'-Text in die Wake-Queue, sondern einen an den Zustand gebundenen Episode-Schluessel, nach dem Vorbild von fm_guard_stale_episode_key (bin/fm-guard.sh:56-92). Volle Meldung beim ersten Ueberschreiten der Wedge-Schwelle und beim Erreichen von FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT, danach nur noch Erinnerungen im PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS-Rhythmus (Standard 1h) statt bei jedem Poll (240s). Eine echte Zustandsaenderung (Pane wieder busy, Worktree beschrieben, Endpunkt stirbt) oder ein andersartiger neuer Fehler eroeffnet weiterhin sofort eine neue Episode. Harte Auflage: ein echt haengender Task darf durch die Dedup-Logik nicht leiser werden als heute, nur die Wiederholrate sinkt, keine Meldung darf verschwinden. Testabdeckung noetig, die belegt: ein echt haengender Task bleibt sichtbar (stuendliche Erinnerung kommt an), waehrend identische Wiederholungen innerhalb der Stunde entfallen. docs/architecture.md Zeilen 12-13 und der Kommentarblock bin/fm-watch.sh:683-693 muessen mitgezogen werden. shellcheck sauber fuer jedes geaenderte Skript in bin/. Ausdruecklich NICHT Teil: Bauplan-Punkte 2, 3, 4 (Fertig-Vokabular, OPEN-DECISIONS-Kompaktform, Fleet-State-Digest-Fingerabdruck) - Punkt 4 laeuft parallel als eigener Auftrag auf eigener Arbeitskopie, dessen Aenderungen an bin/fm-session-start.sh bleiben unangetastet. Akzeptierte Review-Entscheidungen aus dieser Runde: (1) wedge_defer_writing muss bei einer Worktree-Schreib-Deferral ebenfalls eine neue Episode eroeffnen - gefixt. (2) Heartbeat-Backoff durch seltenere stille Wedge-Runden - bewusst nicht jetzt gefixt, nur als Folgearbeit vermerkt. (3) stuendliche Erinnerung zeigt idle245s statt echter Episodendauer - bestehende Kosmetik, bewusst uebersprungen. Aus der Fix-Review-Runde zusaetzlich akzeptiert und bereits umgesetzt: clear_pause_tracking in bin/fm-supervise-daemon.sh muss den neuen .wedge-resurfaced-Marker mitraeumen; busy_turn_bound_check muss ebenfalls eine neue Episode eroeffnen, wenn eine Pause wieder busy wird, wie docs/architecture.md und der Kommentarblock in bin/fm-watch.sh es beschreiben. Eine versehentlich in einem Fix-Commit committierte lokale .squish/squish.db (persoenlicher squish-MCP-Speicher, projektfremd) muss vollstaendig aus der Branch-Historie entfernt werden, nicht nur aus dem Arbeitsbaum.

What Changed

  • wedge_timer_check in bin/fm-watch.sh now gates wake emission on an episode-keyed .wedge-resurfaced-<key> marker instead of emitting a fresh escalation N wake every FM_STALE_ESCALATE_SECS: a full wake fires on the first threshold crossing and again on reaching FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT, while every other round is throttled to one resurface per FM_PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS and logged via triage_log. The escalation counter keeps advancing on the silent rounds, so a throttled reminder still carries the accurate count and the demand-deep-inspection marker.
  • Episode boundaries were consolidated into a new clear_wedge_episode helper that resets the wedge timer, escalation count, resurface throttle, and write-deferral chain together; it is called from handle_paused_stale, busy_turn_bound_check, clear_stale_hash_tracking, and the terminal-override hash-change path. wedge_defer_writing drops only the throttle so a worktree write opens a new episode while keeping the earned escalation history, and both the turn-end churn-absorb path and clear_pause_tracking in bin/fm-supervise-daemon.sh now also remove .wedge-resurfaced-*.
  • Added regression coverage in tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh for the throttled-then-resurfacing escalation, the worktree-write fresh episode, and the terminal-override hash-change fresh episode, plus a .wedge-* cleanup assertion in tests/fm-daemon.test.sh; the episode model and the FM_STALE_ESCALATE_SECS / FM_PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS / FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT knob descriptions were rewritten in docs/architecture.md and docs/configuration.md, the new marker was added to the AGENTS.md state inventory, and .squish/ was gitignored.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The wedge-episode change is narrowly scoped to one function plus six consistent reset sites, keeps the queue-append-before-teardown ordering, bounds a hung pane's silence at PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS as the intent requires, is covered by behavioral tests that fail without it, and is shellcheck-clean with docs and comment blocks pulled along; the only open item is the .squish blob you have already declined twice.

Testing

Ich habe den echten Watcher-Prozess ueber ein simuliertes haengendes Pane getrieben und die geleerte Wake-Queue aufgezeichnet - die Oberflaeche, ueber die der Kapitaen tatsaechlich geweckt wird. Ueber ~80 simulierte Minuten liefert der Basis-Stand 20 Wakes (einen pro Poll, jedes Mal mit anderem "escalation N"-Text), der geaenderte Stand nur noch 3: volle Meldung beim ersten Ueberschreiten der Schwelle (Minute 4), volle Meldung beim Erreichen von FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT (Minute 12, mit demand-deep-inspection) und danach die stuendliche Erinnerung (Minute 72, exakt 60 Minuten spaeter, mit erhaltener Eskalationshistorie) - der haengende Auftrag wird also nicht leiser, nur seltener wiederholt. Dazu liefen die fuenf neuen bzw. geaenderten Wedge-Episoden-Tests, 15 angrenzende Wedge-Regressionen aus tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh und der Daemon-Housekeeping-Test aus tests/fm-daemon.test.sh, alle gruen; drei davon habe ich zusaetzlich gegen den Basis-Commit laufen lassen und dort reproduzierbar rot gesehen. Keine Testfehler, keine Flakes; der Arbeitsbaum ist nach dem Aufraeumen der temporaeren Treiber wieder sauber. Offen bleibt eine nicht-testbezogene Abweichung von den Auflagen: die persoenliche .squish/squish.db liegt weiterhin in Commit 7843dc9 der Branch-Historie.

Wedge-Episode-Deduplizierung - Ende-zu-Ende-Nachweis
====================================================

Szenario: EIN echt haengender Auftrag. Die Crew meldet weiterhin "working"
(run-step laeuft), der Pane-Inhalt aendert sich nie, der Worktree wird nie
beschrieben. Der echte bin/fm-watch.sh wird ueber 20 aufeinanderfolgende
Wedge-Runden zu je FM_STALE_ESCALATE_SECS=240s getrieben (simulierte ~80
Minuten). FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT=3, PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS auf dem
Standardwert 3600s (1 Stunde).

Gezeigt wird, was der Kapitaen tatsaechlich bekommt: die per
bin/fm-wake-drain.sh geleerte Wake-Queue - die Oberflaeche, ueber die der
First Mate geweckt wird.

Ergebnis
--------
BEFORE: 20 Wakes in 80 Minuten - bei jedem Poll ein neuer, immer anderer
        "escalation N"-Text.
AFTER:   3 Wakes in 80 Minuten - volle Meldung beim ersten Ueberschreiten der
        Schwelle (escalation 1, Minute 4), volle Meldung beim Erreichen von
        FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT (escalation 3, Minute 12, mit
        demand-deep-inspection), danach die stuendliche Erinnerung (Minute 72
        = genau 60 Minuten nach der letzten Meldung, escalation 18, mit
        erhaltener demand-deep-inspection-Historie).

Der haengende Auftrag wird also nicht leiser: er bleibt sichtbar, die
Meldungen verschwinden nicht, nur die Wiederholrate sinkt von 240s auf 3600s.
Evidence: Regressionsnachweis: neue Tests scheitern gegen den Basis-Stand 5fb0ce7
$ bash <driver-gegen-5fb0ce7> test_wedge_escalation_stays_silent_within_pause_window_then_resurfaces
not ok - round 1 did not record a .wedge-resurfaced-<key> marker

$ bash <driver-gegen-5fb0ce7> test_worktree_write_opens_a_fresh_wedge_episode
not ok - a worktree write did not open a fresh wedge episode: the resurface throttle survived the deferral

$ bash <daemon-driver-gegen-5fb0ce7> test_housekeeping_migrates_watcher_unpaused_marker_to_clear
not ok - unpaused watcher handoff retained the wedge resurface throttle, so the episode did not end
- Outcome: ⏭️ skipped across 1 run (30m47s)

Pipeline

Updates from git push no-mistakes

✅ **intent** - passed

✅ No issues found.

✅ **Rebase** - passed

✅ No issues found.

⚠️ **Review** - 3 infos
  • 🚨 .gitignore:7 - The intent states as a required constraint: "Eine versehentlich in einem Fix-Commit committierte lokale .squish/squish.db (persoenlicher squish-MCP-Speicher, projektfremd) muss vollstaendig aus der Branch-Historie entfernt werden, nicht nur aus dem Arbeitsbaum." That is still not satisfied. git rev-list --objects 5fb0ce7..HEAD | grep -i squish returns 71c0fb3e... .squish/squish.db (724992 bytes), and git log --name-status -- .squish shows commit 7843dc9 ADDS the file while 1ea4221 only DELETES it (A then D). The worktree is clean and .gitignore:7 now ignores .squish/, so recurrence is prevented, but a later delete does not unpublish a blob: the tree of 7843dc9 still carries it. Concrete failure: this run pushes the branch in a later step; GitHub then stores and renders that SQLite file under commit 7843dc9, and a merge (rather than squash) carries it into main permanently. It is a personal squish-MCP memory store, not project data, so this is also a privacy exposure, and the push has not happened yet, so this is the last reversible point. Fix: rewrite the three pipeline commits so 7843dc9 never contains .squish/squish.db (e.g. recommit the current tree's intended hunks on top of 5fb0ce7), keep the .gitignore entry, and verify git rev-list --objects 5fb0ce7..HEAD | grep -i squish returns nothing. Flagged rather than auto-fixed because it rewrites branch history. Note: a previous, uncertified run recorded this as user-ignored; if that decision still stands, say so and it can be dropped.
  • ⚠️ bin/fm-watch.sh:1951 - The terminal-status-override absorb at bin/fm-watch.sh:1948-1952 starts a fresh wedge timer for a NEW stale hash (printf h &gt; $sf; date +%s &gt; $ssf; clear_write_tracking $key) but never ends the wedge episode, while the structurally identical non-terminal new-hash case at bin/fm-watch.sh:1996-2000 does (clear_pause_tracking -> clear_stale_hash_tracking -> clear_wedge_episode, which drops .wedge-resurfaced-<key>). Concrete reachable path: pane W is a provably-working stale under the terminal-override path; wedge_timer_check escalates at n=1, writes .wedge-resurfaced-<key> and wakes. The pane later settles on a different stable hash H2 while its status log still ends in a leftover done:/blocked line and crew_is_provably_working is true, so the poll lands at :1948-1952 and leaves both .wedge-escalations-<key> and .wedge-resurfaced-<key> in place. 240s later wedge_timer_check computes n=2; n!=1, n!=FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT, and age_of(rf) ~250 < PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS (3600), so the round is silent. Before this change that same round emitted 'stale: W (idle 240s, possible wedge, escalation 2)'. docs/architecture.md:14 (added in this change) asserts that "its capture hash changing" drops the episode's resurface throttle, which this path contradicts, and the intent's hard constraint says only the repeat rate may fall. Keeping the throttle here is defensible (it stops a hung pane winning a fresh report by nudging its hash), so this is the author's call: either route :1949-1951 through clear_wedge_episode like its sibling, or qualify the docs:14 clause the way the busy-past-bound exception in docs/architecture.md:15 already is.
  • ⚠️ docs/configuration.md:872 - FM_PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS now also gates how often a still-wedged pane re-surfaces (read at bin/fm-watch.sh:850), but docs/configuration.md:872 still describes it as covering only declared external waits, verified captain-held transfers, a live idle pane after its first inconclusive stale wake, and a live busy pane past FM_BUSY_TURN_MAX_SECS. An operator who lowers it to 300s to speed up declared-wait rechecks silently restores near-per-escalation wedge wakes; one who raises it to 4h silently makes a genuinely hung task report four times less often - exactly the knob the intent's "nur die Wiederholrate sinkt" constraint depends on. Two neighbours drifted the same way: line 870 still reads as if every FM_STALE_ESCALATE_SECS window produces an escalation wake (it now only advances the counter on most rounds), and line 874 describes FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT only as the point where demand-deep-inspection is added, without saying it is now one of the two counted moments that force a full wake (bin/fm-watch.sh:849). Align 870/872/874 with the new docs/architecture.md:13-15 wording.
  • ℹ️ bin/fm-watch.sh:849 - resurface_absorbed (bin/fm-watch.sh:719-729) is the file's declared single owner of the bounded PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS re-surface cadence - its own header says it is "Shared by the declared-pause absorb and the worktree-write deferral so the two cadences cannot drift apart" - and surface_nonterminal_stale:1078-1092 is the one deliberate scoped variant, whose comment pins the invariant that the throttle must be read before anything is queued and written only by a wake that really fires. The new wedge gate at :849-855 hand-rolls that same cadence a third time (age_of >= PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS in the condition, date +%s &gt; $rf after fm_wake_append, then wake). It does honour the read-before-append invariant, so there is no defect today; the cost is that a future change to the cadence (say a jittered or capped backoff) now has three definitions to find instead of the two the helper's header promises. Reuse is genuinely awkward here because of the n==1 / n==FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT bypass and the shared teardown, so this is a noted tradeoff rather than a demand to refactor.
  • ℹ️ bin/fm-watch.sh:857 - rm -f &#34;$since_file&#34; followed by clear_write_tracking &#34;$key&#34; is byte-identical in the wake branch (bin/fm-watch.sh:853-854) and the throttled branch (:857-858) of the new emission gate - the same hand-copied-tuple shape that clear_wedge_episode was just extracted to eliminate at the reset sites. A future change that adds a third per-round file to the wake branch and misses the silent branch would leave that file set on every throttled round and never cleared. One caveat makes this not a blind hoist: today the timer is torn down only after fm_wake_append ... || exit 1 succeeds, so a wake-queue write failure leaves $since_file aged and the next watcher run re-escalates immediately; hoisting the two lines above the if at :849 would instead restart the 240s clock on that failure. Capture the gate verdict in a variable first and keep the teardown after the append to collapse the duplication without changing that ordering.

🔧 Fix: reset the wedge episode on a terminal-override hash change
3 infos still open:

  • ℹ️ bin/fm-watch.sh:1950 - The round-3 fix routes the terminal-override new-hash absorb through clear_wedge_episode, which drops not only the .wedge-resurfaced-<key> throttle the prior finding asked for but also .wedge-escalations-<key>. That is the extra half worth naming: an episode that accumulated escalations under the busy-past-turn-bound exception (where bin/fm-watch.sh:2049 deliberately does NOT clear the counter) loses its count and its earned demand-deep-inspection history the moment the pane passes through one idle-stable-hash round with a leftover captain-relevant status line, and the next escalation restarts at 'escalation 1' with a fresh full wake. docs/architecture.md:15 states the busy-past-bound pane 'stays inside the same episode on the same throttle' so a hung foreground call 'must not be able to flicker its way back to a full report'; this path is a narrow hole in that claim. I am not asking for a change: reaching bin/fm-watch.sh:1949 requires busy_now to be idle across two consecutive polls at one stable hash, which is a genuine state change rather than a busy-signature flicker, and it makes the terminal path consistent with its non-terminal sibling (clear_pause_tracking -> clear_stale_hash_tracking) and with the general hash-change reset at bin/fm-watch.sh:2049. Noting it because it is a semantic delta beyond what the finding prescribed, introduced by unreviewed pipeline-authored code, and because tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh:1832 now pins 'escalation 1' as the contract.
  • ℹ️ bin/fm-watch.sh:591 - clear_wedge_episode's header calls itself 'the single definition of what a genuine state change resets', but signal_turnend_panes_churned still hand-lists the markers: rm -f &#34;$STATE/.stale-$key&#34; &#34;$STATE/.wedge-escalations-$key&#34; &#34;$STATE/.wedge-resurfaced-$key&#34;, without .stale-since-<key> or clear_write_tracking. No defect today - clearing .stale-<key> forces the next poll down the new-hash branch, which calls clear_wedge_episode and resets the timer anyway - and the site genuinely cannot just call the helper, because it needs rm's exit status for its own rollback and it also clears .stale-<key>, which the helper does not. It is simply the one remaining place a future marker addition has to be remembered by hand, which is exactly the failure the extraction was meant to close. Recording it as a tradeoff, not a change request.
  • ℹ️ .gitignore:7 - Recording state only, not re-raising: the intent's constraint 'Eine versehentlich in einem Fix-Commit committierte lokale .squish/squish.db ... muss vollstaendig aus der Branch-Historie entfernt werden, nicht nur aus dem Arbeitsbaum' is still unmet - git rev-list --objects 5fb0ce7..HEAD | grep -i squish returns the .squish tree and the 724992-byte .squish/squish.db blob, added by commit 7843dc9 and only deleted by 1ea4221. The worktree is clean and .gitignore:7 prevents recurrence. You have already declined this twice (once in this run, once in the prior uncertified run), so no action is requested and this does not gate the merge; it is flagged as info purely so the record shows the constraint was checked and consciously waived before push, which is the last point at which a history rewrite is cheap.

This reverts commit c326cfa.

The automatic CI repair round removed the up-front `gh` prerequisite check
while keeping the `gh` dependency: `bin/fm-pr-merge.sh` still calls
`gh api graphql` for the outcome read and `gh api` for the branch-rules read.
That left the same hard requirement without the clear named error, and review
immediately raised a new finding for exactly the failure the check prevents -
`gh-axi pr merge` landing the merge while the follow-up read fails, so the PR
metadata is never recorded.

The check is also symmetric with the GitLab arm directly above it, which
already refuses up front when `glab` or `jq` is missing, on the stated
principle that a missing tool should be a named prerequisite rather than a
merge that is armed and then refused for an unexplained reason.

The workflows this round was chasing sit at `action_required` because this is
a fork pull request; no code change can turn them green.

* fix(pr): keep PR bookkeeping when a merge outcome read fails

On the GitHub path a merge call that returned success was followed by
`github_read_outcome || exit 1`, so a transient API failure, rate limit,
or network blip during the read dropped out of the script before
`record_pr_metadata` ever ran. The merge could have landed while `pr=`
went unrecorded and the merge poll was never armed - bookkeeping lost on
a real merge. The failure path just above already recorded metadata
before exiting, so the error path was more careful than the success one.

Record the PR before that refusal. Recording arms the later merge poll
and is not a success claim, which is the same reasoning that keeps
`record_pr_metadata` on the gh-axi failure path. The refusal itself is
unchanged: exit stays non-zero and the message still names the concrete
observed state. Metadata is withheld only when the read succeeds and
proves the pull request neither merged nor queued.

Pin it with a case that stubs `gh api graphql` into failure after a
successful `gh-axi pr merge`, asserting both the non-zero exit and the
recorded metadata.

* no-mistakes(review): Aggregate queue rules and report conflicts explicitly

* fix(pr): keep the merge abstraction reachable and its bookkeeping intact

Two holes remained in the outcome-verified GitHub merge path, both on
installations where gh-axi is present but gh is not.

The verification preflight refused before bin/fm-pr-merge.sh ever reached
the configured gh-axi merge abstraction, so an installation without gh
could no longer merge at all. gh-axi now performs the merge unconditionally
and the queue-aware gh read became an optional enrichment: with gh on PATH
its GraphQL view still separates merged from queued, and without gh the
gh-axi view still proves a landed merge while every outcome it cannot prove
refuses.

The PR metadata recording sat behind the outcome read, so a merge that
landed before that read failed lost pr= and its merge poll. Recording now
happens once, before either forge call, which arms the poll without
claiming a landed outcome and leaves teardown a PR identity to verify
against no matter how the read ends.

Rebasing onto main also restored the durable merge-outcome reporting and
the GitLab landed-state confirmation that the conflict resolution dropped.

Tests pin each fix through the executable interface: the merge abstraction
is reached and verified with gh absent, a failed fallback read keeps its
bookkeeping, and a mock that snapshots the task meta during the forge call
proves pr= is recorded before the merge can land.

* no-mistakes(review): fix(pr): quote forge output and explain armed auto-merge on refusal

* no-mistakes(review): fix(pr): claim auto-merge armed only when the forge accepted it

* no-mistakes(review): fix(pr): tell the operator what each GitHub refusal could not observe

* no-mistakes(review): fix(pr): gate every forge-acceptance claim on a successful merge

* no-mistakes(document): align merge docs with verified GitHub outcome contract
* fix(pi): stop reporting one merge to the captain twice

The supervision branch's captain-outcome note told main, unconditionally,
that the note "is not your own earlier output" and to relay it now. When
main had already reported the same event, that assertion was false and the
order turned the correct response - saying nothing new - into a mechanical
re-report, so the captain saw one merge reported twice in 16 seconds.

Two independent changes, both needed:

- The relay instruction is now conditional. It still names itself as a
  supervision outcome so main cannot mistake it for its own earlier answer
  (the silent loss that instruction exists to prevent), and it now lets
  main stay quiet about an outcome it has already given the captain.

- The merge case is closed at its source rather than left to that judgment.
  One merge reaches a home on two independent paths by design - main's own
  permanently main-owned merge poll, and the branch's task-local status
  wake - and main's captain-facing text only reaches the branch's mirror at
  main's turn end, so the branch can escalate before it could possibly see
  the captain was already told. bin/fm-pr-merge-notified.sh answers that
  question from bin/fm-pr-lib.sh's canonical merge-notification marker, so
  the answer holds regardless of mirror timing. A captain outcome naming an
  already-published merge is delivered as the ordinary rendered note
  instead of opening a follow-up turn: still appended, still visible, still
  recorded with the verdict the branch decided, minus the wasted turn.

Any error, timeout, or unreadable state relays the outcome. A duplicate
announces itself; a lost outcome does not.

Regression coverage drives the real delivery path in both directions: a new
outcome must still reach the captain in exactly one follow-up turn even
beside an unrelated published merge, and an already-published merge must
open no second turn while a different PR in the same task still does. The
merge path's real producer and this new consumer are exercised end to end
in tests/fm-pr-merge.test.sh.

Pi-only by construction: the delivery path lives in .pi/extensions, so no
other harness loads it, and the new script only reads existing markers.

* no-mistakes(review): Document accepted latest-marker suppression residual

* no-mistakes(review): Recheck ownership before merge outcome delivery

* no-mistakes(document): Document merge-outcome suppression exception

* refactor(pi): drop the source-level merge suppression, keep the envelope fix

The captain reviewed this branch and judged the source-level duplicate
suppression overly complicated for the problem it solved, and asked for
the change to be reduced to the envelope wording alone.

Remove the mergeIntoMain downgrade path, bin/fm-pr-merge-notified.sh, and
every test and document that existed only for it. What remains is the
conditional captain-outcome instruction: main is told to stay quiet about
an outcome it has already reported and to relay anything else, which
covers the duplicate without a second mechanism.

The silent-loss protection is untouched - the note is still typed,
self-describing, and delivered as one invisible follow-up turn - and the
behavioral tests still assert that, now requiring both halves of the
conditional instruction.

* no-mistakes(ci): Clarified in code comments and owned documentation that this is intentionally an M1-only, model-facing conditional relay fix—not source-level suppression—addressing Greptile’s mistaken scope expectation without changing runtime behavior. Net diff remains 3 files and 27 insertions. Verified with fm-pi-branch-extension tests, fm-lint, doc audience check, and git diff --check; all passed

* no-mistakes(ci): Strengthened the runtime delivery test to verify the captain outcome retains its required self-description and outcome text. Verified with `bash tests/fm-pi-branch-extension.test.sh`, `bin/fm-lint.sh`, `bin/fm-doc-audience-check.sh`, and `git diff --check`; all passed. The outer pipeline can now commit and attest the new head
* fix(bin): bind the live pipeline-owned run instead of a superseded failed row

fm-crew-state.sh bound a superseded FAILED no-mistakes run to a task instead
of the LIVE replacement run: the live run's pipeline-owned lane head is not a
git object in the task worktree, so head-equality attribution rejected it and
the coarse runs-list fallback silently continued past the RUNNING row onto an
older failed row whose head equalled the stale worktree HEAD. The home summary
then flipped invalid and Bearings hid the home's live work (F10).

Attribution precedence now follows the daemon's own identity:
- An ACTIVE run for the task's branch binds without head equality while
  branch_sync.state is pipeline_owned (fm_nm_run_is_pipeline_owned_active);
  the pipeline owning the branch is itself the attribution.
- A genuinely failed run with no later run on the branch still reports failed
  through the unchanged head-equality path - real failures are not hidden.
- In the coarse runs scan, an unresolvable head is unknown attribution and
  stops the scan (fm_nm_head_resolvable) instead of falling through to an
  older row; a resolvable-but-mismatched head keeps the historical
  reused-branch skip.

The exemption never applies to a terminal run and requires pipeline_owned
specifically, both pinned by negative-control tests. Fixture shape verified
against the live incident run's real axi status output.

* no-mistakes(document): Clarify captain-visible supervision outcome documentation
…#3210)

* feat(bin): per-home remote transport lanes with cancellation, bounded send, and closed stdin

All remote commands for every home on one host used to serialize through one
single-job-at-a-time worker on one shared queue: a timed-out caller abandoned a
staged job that kept running, retries convoyed behind it, fm-send's remote leg
had no time bound, and staging captured the caller's stdin to EOF so any
fm-on.sh caller with an open stdin wedged staging indefinitely.

- The worker now serves one lane per staged home: same-home jobs run strictly
  FIFO in a new staging-sequence order while different homes run concurrently,
  each lane as its own top-level worker process (a backgrounded subshell does
  not reliably reap dead children, so a zombie group leader kept a finished
  command's process group signalable). Long-poll preemption is lane-scoped.
- A caller that disconnects or times out cancels its job: the entrypoint marks
  the record on any post-staging exit and probes its parent so a dead ssh
  channel cancels without a signal; the worker skips cancelled queued jobs,
  terminates a running cancelled job's process group, and reaps the record.
- fm-send's remote leg is bounded by FM_SEND_REMOTE_BUDGET (default 30s) and a
  bound hit exits through the existing unconfirmed-delivery contract, which
  stays idempotent because the remote enqueue deduplicates.
- fm-on.sh defaults the remote command's stdin to /dev/null; the three payload
  callers pass the new --stdin flag. Abandoned .stage.* litter is age-reaped.
- The job execution deadline no longer loses up to a second to clock
  truncation.

* no-mistakes(document): Correct remote transport lifecycle documentation

* no-mistakes(lint): Quote done state comparisons for ShellCheck
* fix(tests): make the changed-file map select per script and stabilize a budget flake

The changed-file map's bin/ fallback resolved a direct test reference to that
test's whole FAMILY. bin/fm-push-transition-lib.sh is named by exactly one
real-Herdr E2E, so a one-line change to it selected all 12 real-herdr-gated
scripts, including a 341s presentation E2E with no dependency on it.

Resolve direct test references per script, and keep resolving consumer bin/
scripts through the curated map so recorded family-level coupling survives.

Also fix a load-sensitive flake: the tool-update budget deadline is whole-second
granular, so a test budget of 1 left headroom anywhere in (0, 1] seconds and the
first budget check could already read as exhausted.

* feat(bin): make suite wall clock a result and let a family's concurrency be proven

--max-wall-ms fails a run whose wall clock exceeds the caller's budget, after
reporting the per-script results. A suite that stays green while outgrowing its
caller's invocation budget is the regression that got an agent killed mid-run
and retried invisibly, so duration has to be a result rather than a log note.

--pool on the isolation-proof harness runs the same concurrent proof over a
whole family, so 'is this family safe to parallelize?' is answered by a command
instead of a guess. Measured watcher-wake-lock and refused it: 3 of 18 scripts
fail under concurrency on wall-clock assertions about reaching the next poll.

* perf(bin): schedule the changed suite concurrently, longest first

The watcher-wake-lock family is proven concurrent-safe (two clean runs, 18
candidates, 0 failures at 4 workers; docs/fm-test-isolation-proof.md), so
--changed now schedules its proven-concurrent scripts with bounded parallelism
and runs any unproven remainder serially afterwards, never beside them.

Concurrent runs are ordered longest-hint-first. Workers are handed scripts in
order, so alphabetical order started the 193s fm-watch-triage last and stranded
it running alone: 395s wall against a 205s balanced four-worker sum.

An explicit --jobs keeps its strict refusal, so every CI lane is unchanged.

* fix(bin): bound a hung test instead of letting it hang the suite

tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh was observed running 17+ minutes against a
464ms recorded hint, and the suite had no per-script bound to stop it. An
unbounded suite is precisely what silently outruns a caller's invocation budget,
and --max-wall-ms is evaluated after the run so it cannot end one that never
finishes.

--per-script-timeout-secs terminates a script that outruns it and records exit
124, so the run still completes, accounts for the script, and fails. The
auto-concurrent --changed path applies 900s, far above the slowest real script
(the 341s Herdr presentation E2E), so it only ever converts a hang.

* no-mistakes(review): Restore plain changed-suite automatic concurrency

* no-mistakes(review): Record resolved changed-suite worker count

* fix(bin): keep a runner change selecting its whole curated family

A pipeline fix round narrowed the curated changed-file map so bin/fm-test-run.sh
and bin/fm-test-isolation-proof.sh selected only their own two contract tests,
and the documentation surfaces only the audience test. That cut this branch's
own changed selection from 33 scripts to 5.

The runner executes every pure-contract-unit script, so its contract test
passing proves its logic is right, not that the suite it drives still runs.
Narrowing it also makes any wall-clock claim about the changed suite trivially
true by not running the work.

Only the unmapped bin/* grep fallback resolves per script; curated mappings keep
their recorded family coupling.

* perf(bin): admit the pure-contract-unit family to bounded concurrency

A runner-file change selects pure-contract-unit, so that family decides the
changed suite's wall clock. With only watcher-wake-lock admitted, 14 of its 33
selected scripts fell to the serial tail and the selection measured 327.3s
against a 300s budget: the concurrent group was 19 scripts totalling 273.4s
while the tail alone was 215.7s.

bin/fm-test-isolation-proof.sh --pool pure-contract-unit --jobs 4 passes twice,
32 candidates, 0 failures, so the family is admitted on recorded evidence.

Full 33-script plain --changed: 327.3s -> 181.8s / 178.5s / 172.7s, 0 failures,
inside a 300000ms budget. Also states the per-script guard's derivation.

* no-mistakes(review): Align contract-unit concurrency cap with recorded proof

* no-mistakes(document): Record final changed-suite performance evidence

* fix(bin): keep an empty changed selection clean on stock macOS Bash

Under set -u, bash 3.2 treats "${arr[@]}" on an EMPTY array as an
unbound-variable error, while bash 4.4+ makes it a harmless no-op. The
concurrency work removed the early exit for an empty selection, so execution
fell through to the unguarded existence loop: on stock /bin/bash 3.2.57 a
contributor who changes only documentation and runs --changed got

  bin/fm-test-run.sh: line 1713: SCRIPTS[@]: unbound variable

with exit 1 and no summary, instead of a clean total=0 pass.

Restore the early exit, and guard every remaining array expansion reachable
with an empty selection. The reported duration is real elapsed invocation
time rather than a hardcoded zero, so a selection phase that outran
--max-wall-ms still fails.

Verified on this host with /bin/bash 3.2.57: exit 1 with the unbound-variable
error before, exit 0 with FM_TEST_SUMMARY total=0 after.

* fix(bin): keep home-summary publication bounded and off the watcher beat

A home whose tasks had accumulated ordinary status history could not publish
state/home-summary.json at all, and every attempt starved the watcher's
liveness beacon while it failed silently.

The producer's per-task open-decision fold spent tens of milliseconds per
status line on a bash 3.2 global bracket-class substitution used only as a
blank-line guard. On a real home that made the whole ledger producer take
minutes, so publication burned its full FM_HOME_SUMMARY_TIMEOUT on every
attempt and never completed. Replace that guard with an equivalent case glob
in the one fold owner, which both the whole-file and cursor-backed folds use.

Bound each per-task current-state read in the snapshot with
FM_SNAPSHOT_CREW_STATE_TIMEOUT. For a remote secondmate that read crosses ssh,
whose dead-peer detection deliberately never kills a slow-but-alive remote
command, so nothing else bounded it.

Detach the watcher's two publication triggers from the poll loop. The loop
owns the beacon that fm-guard.sh reads as proof supervision is alive, and an
inline publication put up to a full publication deadline between two beacon
touches. A single in-flight publication is tracked so a slow one cannot
accumulate clones.

Report a repeatedly failing publication at session start. Publication stays
deliberately non-fatal to its caller, so the existing bounded home-local
failure record is now surfaced as a HOME_SUMMARY bootstrap line once the
ledger is absent or stale and failures have been recorded since.

An actionable project update could be classified as routine and absorbed, so

Trigger, mask, symptom. A worker appends a captain-relevant event
(`needs-decision`, `blocked`, `failed`, `done`). Any later routine append -
a `working:` progress note - lands before the supervisor classifies the
batch; the watcher's 30s signal-grace linger exists precisely to coalesce a
status write with the same turn's turn-end, so this window is ordinary
rather than rare. Both supervisors then asked "is the LAST line
captain-relevant?", read the routine line, and absorbed the wake. The
`.seen-*` suppressor advanced either way, so nothing ever re-read the event.
When the crew was also provably working, the no-verb fallback absorbed it
too, which is why the event disappeared completely instead of surfacing late.

Reproduced end to end against a real watcher before any change: with the
trailing `working:` append the watcher never exits and the wake queue stays
empty; with that one line removed - the smallest counterfactual - the same
`needs-decision` surfaces and queues. The away-mode daemon's `classify_signal`
returns `self|routine signal` for a `blocked:` event under the same mask,
which is the worse case because no captain is present to notice.

The proven path was already in the tree: `status_open_decisions` fixed this
exact masking for the durable decision fold, and its header states the rule -
reading an append-only event log last-event-wins cannot represent an earlier
event that a later unrelated line moved past. The classification path was
never migrated to that read model. That is the earliest divergence, and the
fix is to migrate it rather than to special-case the symptom.

`status_span_first_actionable` in bin/fm-classify-lib.sh is the new single
owner: it reads the bytes at or after a caller-supplied position and returns
the first still-live captain-relevant event. Each supervisor supplies its own
position, because the always-on watcher and the away-mode daemon classify the
same stream independently and must not share one cursor: the watcher reads
the size already recorded in its `.seen-*` signature (no new state) and its
`.hb-surfaced-<task>` backstop marker, and the daemon its
`.subsuper-seen-status-<task>` marker. Those two markers held the escalated
line and now hold the escalated-through byte offset, which also removes a
second defect in the same code - content dedup silently swallowed a genuinely
new event whose text repeated an older one. An absent, malformed, or
past-the-end position reads the whole log, so uncertainty surfaces events
rather than losing them, and a marker an older build wrote as a status line
reads that way too. Status logs are only ever appended to, including across a
reused task id, so a recorded position keeps its meaning.

A `needs-decision`/`blocked` event in the span is retired only when the
whole-file fold proves its key closed; `status_open_decisions` stays the sole
owner of that rule, so same-key reopening and reserved-key namespaces need no
second implementation here. Every other captain-relevant event is terminal
and always actionable.

Both backstops now walk every status log instead of only those whose last
line looks captain-relevant, because the event a backstop most needs to catch
is exactly one a later append has moved past. That leaves
`scan_captain_relevant_statuses` with no callers, and it is removed rather
than left as a working copy of the defective read model.

Regression coverage exercises the classifier and both supervisors through
their own interfaces: the masked decision, the captain-reported
release/install completion followed by cleanup chatter, and the away-mode
blocker all surface; a routine append after an already-classified event stays
absorbed, so the fix does not convert ordinary progress into wakes; and the
heartbeat backstop catches a masked event the per-wake path missed. The
end-to-end watcher tests drive a real fm-watch.sh with the crew reported as
provably working, which is the configuration that made the original stall
silent.

Two further claims in the supplied RCA are deliberately not patched here.
"Repeated operational recoveries produced all-clear replies despite known
actions" is downstream of this same cause, not an independent contributor: an
all-clear reply is the documented response when the specific event needs no
action, so a classification that wrongly reported "no action" produces it, and
correcting the classification removes it. "The project was subjected to
validation requirements outside its accepted path" is delivery-mode selection,
which AGENTS.md section 7 owns; no code changed here touches it, so it is out
of scope.

Harness and backend axes were inspected rather than assumed: nothing in this
path reads a vendor-emitted signal. The status log's format and append
protocol are Firstmate's own and identical for every harness, and no runtime
backend reads or writes `.status` files (`bin/backends/*` contain no reference
to them). The surrounding triage's only backend touchpoints - pane capture and
the authoritative crew-state read - are unchanged. No live-harness guard
applies and no per-harness verification record changes.

Verified with `bin/fm-lint.sh`, `bin/fm-doc-audience-check.sh`, and
`bin/fm-test-run.sh --changed --base origin/main`.

* no-mistakes(review): Bound repeated classification failures with durable receipts

* revert(supervision): drop the failure-receipt and durable-retry machinery

Captain-authorized revert to the minimal fix. Review rounds added a durable
failure-receipt store and wake-retention-on-failure to bound repeated
classification failures. That machinery grew larger than the fix it protected
and kept producing its own defects: an unreadable log still looped forever
because the always-on watcher never consulted the receipt, and the receipt was
persisted before its diagnostic was durably queued, so a crash in between
swallowed the alarm outright. Those two defects go away with the code that
contained them rather than being repaired.

Removed: the failure-receipt path, fingerprint, record and clear helpers and
their retirement bookkeeping; the retention of a durable wake when
classification fails; and the error-propagation plumbing in both supervisors
that existed only to drive them.

Kept, because it is the accepted fix rather than the declined machinery: span
classification of the events appended since a supervisor last looked, in both
supervisors and both backstops; reporting every actionable event in a span and
committing a position only through what was reported; naming the live opening of
a reopened decision; treating an absent log as ordinary and an unreadable one as
worth reporting; the non-.status filter; and the platform-strength identity that
guards a position commit without failing a read.

Replacement behavior for a log that cannot be classified: report it once, do NOT
advance the classification position so the content is classified from where it
stopped once readable, and DO advance the wake signature so the report is
bounded to one per distinct file state. Reporting and reading are different acts:
telling the captain about a log is not the same as having read it, and only the
latter may move a classification position.

The residual risk is explicit and accepted: there is no guaranteed automatic
retry inside a crash-mid-read window, and the locked session-start replay of the
durable queue covers it. That rationale is recorded at mark_escalated_seen so a
future reader does not reintroduce the retry as a "missing" guarantee.

Also fixes lint failures that arrived with the review-fix commits and were never
caught because the run never reached its lint step: an unfollowable conditional
source directive, a second unquoted-expansion site left after a call was split
across lines, cleanup of the file being read inside its own read loop (restructured
to one post-loop teardown rather than three in-loop copies), stub functions in
tests that are invoked indirectly, and a test local left unused when its
assignment was replaced by a helper. bin/fm-lint.sh passes on the default branch,
so these were introduced here.

Verified with `bin/fm-lint.sh`, the end-to-end masked-decision and away-mode
reproductions, and `bin/fm-test-run.sh` over the supervision, wake-queue,
wake-drain, watch-arm and inactive-reconcile suites (6 scripts, 0 failures).

A promoted scout used to receive a free-form placeholder instead of the
mode-specific Definition of done a briefed ship worker gets, so it never
saw the ask-user escalation rule or the --yes prohibition. That gap is the
concrete reason one incident's worker drove validation with --yes and
answered its own ask-user findings.

- Add bin/fm-dod-lib.sh as the single owner of a ship task's mode-specific
  Definition of done, rendered by both bin/fm-brief.sh and bin/fm-promote.sh
  so the two contracts cannot drift.
- bin/fm-promote.sh now writes data/<id>/ship-instructions.md carrying the
  scratch inventory, clean base, ship branch, and that Definition of done,
  and prints the fm-send.sh command that delivers it.
- State the --yes ban as a prohibition rather than a preference, without
  claiming an enforcement the tool does not provide.

Added behavioral regression coverage through the adapter interface. `bin/fm-lint.sh`, syntax checks, and focused valid/malformed read checks passed. The portable-serial failure was an unrelated secondmate cooldown timing flake
* fix(records): pair backlog transitions with the record that moves

Dispatch and completion each moved a task's physical record and its
backlog row as two independently timed steps, so a crash or a forgotten
follow-up could leave the two disagreeing: a record with no in-flight
row, an in-flight row with no owner, or a finished task still shown in
flight.

Fold each backlog transition into the script that performs the physical
change, under the per-task lock it already holds and before it reports
success. Dispatch moves the item to In flight after publishing the task
record and fails loudly, removing its provisional record, when that
transition cannot land. Completion records an authoritative close and
performs it before removing the record, so an interrupted cleanup can be
finished later, and its closing message now confirms what already
happened rather than instructing a future step.

Add a same-home reconciliation sweep to session start so a home that was
interrupted mid-transition settles its own books on restart, replaying a
recorded close and restoring an in-flight row it already owns a worker
for. It never reads or writes another home; the fleet snapshot and the
cross-home nudge stay as backstops.

Close records are validated before they are trusted: the file is read as
raw bytes and rejected outright when it carries a NUL or other control
byte, every field must be well formed and non-duplicated, the id must
match the record it was found under, the data location must resolve
inside this home, and each close argument must carry a permitted,
well-formed value. Writer and reader share one validator so a record
this home publishes always remains replayable, independent of locale.

Homes configured for a manual backlog, and homes with no backlog at all,
stay exempt and are unaffected.

Subsequent retries now emit the reconciliation warning even after a backlog probe or close failure. Updated the behavioral regression and verified the full atomicity suite under stock macOS Bash 3.2, plus shellcheck and diff checks

* fix(records): validate record bytes without an uncurated tool

The byte validation added for close records and directory paths shelled
out to od. The spawn and teardown lifecycle runs under a curated command
set that deliberately excludes it, so on any restricted PATH the check
could not run, the data directory read as unresolvable, and dispatch and
cleanup refused - wedging the lifecycle rather than protecting it.

An earlier attempt made the failing test pass by adding od to that
curated set. That fixed the test to agree with the defect and quietly
widened the contract the fixture exists to pin, so it is reverted here.

Inspect the bytes with perl instead, which is already in the curated set
and already used in this repo for the same portability reason. The
emitted values are identical to od's, so the rejection semantics are
unchanged: NUL and other control bytes are still refused, legitimate
paths containing spaces or non-ASCII characters still round-trip, and
the check stays independent of the process locale.

The restricted-PATH teardown case now passes because the validator no
longer needs od, not because the fixture was loosened.

* fix(watch): absorb a turn-end whose pane churned since the previous poll

The watcher's "absorb a benign turn-end when the crew is provably working"
triage was structurally unreachable for any harness whose semantic busy state
has no verified source. crew_absorb_class only reports working for an actively
running no-mistakes step or an exact busy verdict, and bin/fm-crew-state.sh can
only answer unknown for such an adapter, so codex crewmates surfaced a signal
wake at every turn boundary with nothing to act on - a full supervisor drain,
inspect and acknowledge turn per worker turn, scaling with the number of workers
in flight and drowning the wakes that matter in identical noise.

Widen the proof rather than bound the wake rate. A wake carrying only bare
turn-ended markers is now also benign when the task's pane content changed since
the previous poll, compared against the same state/.hash-* marker the staleness
backbone already records and already trusts as liveness. That evidence claims no
harness semantics, so it fabricates no busy verdict an adapter has not earned,
and it needs no adapter cooperation.

Absorb stays evidence-driven in both directions. A wake naming any status file
keeps the strict proof, every captain-relevant verb still surfaces immediately,
and an unresolvable task, a missing prior hash, a failed or empty capture, or an
unchanged pane all surface exactly as before. The absorb defers rather than
swallows: a crew that has stopped renders nothing further, so its now-static pane
surfaces through the staleness backbone within a poll or two. Bounding the
surfacing rate instead would have suppressed genuinely stopped workers.

The derivation lives with the .hash-* marker format in bin/fm-watch.sh, which
owns it, and costs one bounded capture reached only for a no-verb turn-end whose
crew is not already provably working.

Absorbing a bare turn-end on pane churn is now reached only when the home
creates config/turnend-churn-absorb. The other two proofs read a verdict
the harness itself vouches for, while this one infers execution from
rendered bytes, so widening the absorb is a home's choice rather than a
default every fleet inherits. With the flag absent the predicate returns
on its first line and triage is unchanged.

Churn and pane staleness read the same pane, so neither can be the
other's only backstop. A pane that renders continuously never presents
the two consecutive identical hashes the staleness backbone needs, so an
unbounded churn absorb left a worker that had genuinely stopped behind
such a renderer with no path to surface at all. One endpoint's turn-ends
may now ride churn evidence for at most FM_TURNEND_CHURN_ABSORB_SECS,
tracked in state/.churn-since-*, after which the wake surfaces and the
window restarts. The bound is evaluated before any .stale- state is
touched, so a wake that surfaces there leaves the staleness backbone's
own classification alone.

Covers both with behavioral tests: the same churning fixture that absorbs
with the flag surfaces and queues without it, and a spent deferral window
surfaces and restarts. The four existing safety guards now run with the
flag enabled so they keep proving their specific guard.

* fix(bin): bind the live pipeline-owned run instead of a superseded failed row

fm-crew-state.sh bound a superseded FAILED no-mistakes run to a task instead
of the LIVE replacement run: the live run's pipeline-owned lane head is not a
git object in the task worktree, so head-equality attribution rejected it and
the coarse runs-list fallback silently continued past the RUNNING row onto an
older failed row whose head equalled the stale worktree HEAD. The home summary
then flipped invalid and Bearings hid the home's live work (F10).

Attribution precedence now follows the daemon's own identity:
- An ACTIVE run for the task's branch binds without head equality while
  branch_sync.state is pipeline_owned (fm_nm_run_is_pipeline_owned_active);
  the pipeline owning the branch is itself the attribution.
- A genuinely failed run with no later run on the branch still reports failed
  through the unchanged head-equality path - real failures are not hidden.
- In the coarse runs scan, an unresolvable head is unknown attribution and
  stops the scan (fm_nm_head_resolvable) instead of falling through to an
  older row; a resolvable-but-mismatched head keeps the historical
  reused-branch skip.

The exemption never applies to a terminal run and requires pipeline_owned
specifically, both pinned by negative-control tests. Fixture shape verified
against the live incident run's real axi status output.

Restore the AGENTS.md section 4 always-loaded routing paragraph the PR

every-candidate accounting, and load-trigger contract stay exactly as
before this PR. The mid-task quota wake is optional and must not alter
default routing.

the always-loaded intake boundary owner; keep the worker-side helper
section as an addition only, without rewiring ownership or load
triggers to section 13.

* fix(bin): use harness-keyed quota matching in optional helper

Revert fm-quota-choose.sh from harness:provider:model tuples back to
harness:model candidates with harness-keyed provider matching, per the
resolved ask-user finding. The helper is optional; authoritative
multi-provider routing (provider discovery from the harness catalog and
quota matching by that explicit provider) stays owned by AGENTS.md
section 4 and the quota-array-dispatch skill intake procedure, not the
helper.

Document the multi-provider limitation in the helper header and the
quota-array-dispatch skill: the helper maps each harness to one primary
provider family only, so a candidate whose established provider differs
from that primary family is checked against the wrong quota row. Use it
only when the brief fixed the candidate order and every candidate's
provider is the harness's primary family.

The helper still consumes one already-captured default-TOON or JSON
snapshot via stdin or --snapshot and never calls quota-axi itself, so
it selects from the same quota state as the intake.

* no-mistakes(document): Document Herdr server launch environment isolation
* fix: surface inbound Relay attachments to the responding agent

A Discord support thread's screenshots were never seen by the agent
handling the mention. The relay delivered them and the poll stashed
them: the reporter's images arrived on the `thread_starter` entry of
`in_reply_to_chain` while the mention's own media list was empty. The
gap was in the responder's playbook, which enumerated a fixed field
list (`request_id`, `text`, `in_reply_to`, `in_reply_to_chain`) and so
made every other field, attachments included, invisible.

Fix it where the gap is, in prose:

- Read the complete payload object rather than a fixed field list, so
  media and later relay fields are never skipped again.
- Fetch and view attached media with the agent's own tools, on the
  mention and on every chain entry, and call out the common shape where
  only the thread starter carries the screenshots.
- Restrict those fetches to known-good platform media hosts over https
  (Discord: cdn.discordapp.com, media.discordapp.net,
  images-ext-1.discordapp.net, images-ext-2.discordapp.net; X:
  pbs.twimg.com, video.twimg.com), report a blocked host instead of
  working around it, and treat everything fetched as untrusted public
  input on the same terms as the surrounding thread text.

The poll stays out of it and downloads nothing, so no third-party bytes
are pulled on the polling path.

The new test pins the contract the playbook depends on: a mention in the
incident's shape, with an empty top-level media list and screenshots on
the thread starter, must reach the inbox with the payload intact and its
media URLs unfetched.

* fix(relay): close a public loop whose work lives in a remote secondmate home

A public-followup loop bound to a REMOTE secondmate could never be closed.
`clear_public_followup_link` (bin/fm-public-followup.sh:701) required an
absolute recorded `work_home_path` for a `secondmate:*` work home, but a remote
route has no local path on this machine, so registration records that field
empty (bin/fm-public-followup.sh:291). Every close ran that clear first, so
`retire` died with "could not clear the legacy X link ... retained for
reconciliation" forever, and `deliver` posted the public reply and then stranded
the loop at `posted`. `--force` never covered that step.

The clear now goes to the remote home over that route's SSH transport, running
`fm-x-followup.sh --clear <work-id>` through `bin/fm-on.sh`. The route is decided
from `data/secondmates.md` before any local path is consulted, so a same-named
local directory can never stand in for a remote home, and registrations already
on disk retire without needing a new field. `fm-on.sh` passes ssh's status
through, so 255 stays the established "delivered but completion unknown" result
this codebase already reconciles: the close is refused, the registration and the
remote link are left exactly as they were, and the message names the unknown
completion instead of claiming a definite failure.

Local secondmate and `main` work homes are untouched, and `--force` still
governs only the unresolved-obligation refusal.

Three regression cases drive a remote route end to end, faking only the ssh
binary at the FM_SSH_BIN seam and then running the real remote entrypoint
against a local checkout, so the clear that must reach the remote home actually
happens there.

Added a behavioral regression with a publisher waiting to create the lock, updated remote-retirement expectations and verification docs. Passed fm-x-mode, fm-public-followup, fm-lint, documentation audience, Bash syntax, and diff checks

* fix(relay): bound the guarded remote link clear so it refuses instead of hanging

The guarded clear checks that the remote state directory is writable before
taking the metadata lock, but that check cannot close the window: the parent can
turn non-writable between the check and lock creation, and a lock held by a live
holder is indistinguishable from that at the acquire. `fm_lock_acquire_wait` is
an unbounded `while ! try; do sleep 0.1; done`, so either case retried forever
and `deliver` or `retire` wedged with nothing reported, instead of returning the
retained-for-reconciliation refusal the guard exists to produce. This path runs
unattended over the secondmate transport, where a wedge is worse than either
outcome the guard defines.

The guarded clear now acquires through `fm_lock_acquire_wait_bounded`
(FMX_LINK_CLEAR_LOCK_TIMEOUT, default 10 seconds) and refuses on timeout through
the existing failure path. Unguarded local callers keep the ordinary unbounded
wait, so local behavior is unchanged.

The bounded primitive's header no longer claims presentation-only scope, since
this is a second authorized caller; nothing else in the shared lock
infrastructure changed.

The regression holds the metadata lock with a genuinely live process while
leaving the state directory writable, so the refusal can only come from the
bound and never from the writability precondition. Against the unbounded wait it
does not terminate at all; with the bound it refuses, retains the registration,
writes no receipt, and leaves the remote link untouched.

)

* fix(bin): resolve process-event state roots before validating them

The process-event module validated the caller's spelling of a home's state
root instead of the directory it operates on: it required the supplied path
to equal its own lexical normalization, which rejects any path reached
through a symlinked ancestor. On macOS both /tmp and $TMPDIR are symlinks,
so an operator home under either could never claim a source. Reconcile still
reported the runner started, while the detached runner died writing "cannot
claim source" to the discarded stderr, and the source silently never fired.

Resolve the state root to its physical directory once, then apply the
existing private-directory validation to that resolved directory and derive
every path, recorded claim identity, and later confinement check from it.
This keeps the confinement contract for the directory actually operated on
rather than only for callers that already spelled it physically, and removes
the window where an ancestor symlink could be repointed between check and
use. Homes already spelled physically behave identically.

This was the single cause of both deterministic macOS failures in
tests/fm-procevent.test.sh ("reconcile never claimed the registered source")
and tests/fm-procevent-when.test.sh ("the winning concurrent arm did not
produce an outcome"). The new case pins the behavior with an explicit
symlinked-ancestor home, so it fails without the fix on any platform rather
than only where the temp root happens to be a symlink.

* fix(bin): pin the external capture staging boundary to its physical path

The extension capture path pinned its registry staging boundary by comparing
`pwd -P` against the caller-spelled registry directory, so a home reached
through a symlinked ancestor still refused to start an extension-backed
source after the state root itself resolved correctly. That left such a home
half working: built-in sources ran while external ones failed.

The staging preparer now prints the physical registry directory it validated,
matching the inbox and reservation preparers beside it, and the start path
pins on that returned path. The new end-to-end case drives the shipped
file-signal package from a symlinked home spelling.

* fix(pi): process captain outcomes through a sequence-keyed turn

PR kunchenguid#3312 made every captain-facing supervision outcome a durable, exact-once
visible transcript entry with the read cursor advancing only after that entry
exists. That is the display half of the delivery contract. Left alone it turns
a probabilistic silent loss into a deterministic one: the captain sees an
anchor line, and firstmate never acts, because nothing opens a turn and
nothing records whether main ever processed the outcome.

The 2026-08-31 timeline showed the two shapes this must survive on the
previous hidden-turn path: seven delivered decision outcomes each answered by
an empty assistant message (cursor advanced, no retry, unanswered for close
to three hours), and two answered by an unrelated prior reply. Both happened
because delivery advanced the cursor at enqueue and accepted whatever the
next assistant message was.

Add the processing half on top of the persistence half:

- bin/fm-branch-outcome.sh keeps a processed marker separate from the read
  cursor (`unprocessed`, `mark-processed --through`, `processed-init`). It
  only advances through an explicit sequence-bound acknowledgement, never
  past the read cursor and never backwards; an absent marker reads as zero
  and `processed-init` migrates delivered history once so an upgraded home
  is not re-presented its past.
- After the visible entry for a captain outcome exists, the extension hands
  every still-unprocessed captain row to main as one hidden, typed
  `fm-branch-process` request listing each `[seq N] task: summary`, opening
  exactly one main turn. Main closes it only by calling the new
  `fm_branch_processed` tool with the highest sequence listed. An unrelated,
  empty, or paraphrased answer leaves the sequence open, and the same request
  is presented again at the end of the next main run and at session start.
  The first two presentations of a sequence set open a turn of their own;
  after that the request rides the captain's next prompt so an ignored
  request cannot loop, and a session replacement resets that budget.
  Routine outcomes stay turn-free.
- The regressions cover exactly those incident shapes against the real store
  scripts: an empty answer and an unrelated prior answer neither advance the
  marker nor stop re-presentation, the acknowledgement is refused beyond the
  read cursor and outside lock ownership, a partial acknowledgement keeps the
  newer sequence open, and kunchenguid#3312's own assertions now forbid an unkeyed turn
  rather than any turn. The store suite pins the marker's bounds and the
  migration; the real-SDK guard for appendEntry persistence and model
  exclusion is unchanged.

Docs move the protocol from "no model turn" to "one sequence-keyed processing
turn closed only by its acknowledgement", and the verification record carries
the dated run against Pi 0.84.4.

* fix(ci): rebalance the portable serial shards on measured durations

The "Behavior portable serial 3" shard ran 17-20 minutes against its
20-minute job cap and intermittently timed out seconds after a passing
test, on branches and on main alike.

Shards are packed longest-processing-time from per-script duration hints,
and those hints were last measured on 2026-08-21 at 116 scripts. The lane
has since grown to 139 scripts and from ~42 to ~63 minutes: 17 scripts had
no hint at all and fell back to the 20 s default, and several existing
hints were low by 2-5x (fm-watch-triage 142 s hinted vs 263 s measured,
fm-public-followup 36 s vs 197 s). The partition therefore looked
perfectly balanced in hint space, 734.6 s per shard, while really running
11.5, 13.6, 18.8 and 16.5 minutes. Script-count balance, which is what the
tests asserted, stayed normal throughout and hid it.

Refresh the hints from the timing artifacts of three green runs, taking
the slowest measurement of each script so the balance holds on a slow
runner, and split the lane across five shards instead of four. Replayed
against those runs' real per-script durations the worst shard is now
12.54 minutes, 63% of the unchanged 20-minute cap, and the serial lane's
wall clock drops from ~20 to ~12.5 minutes.

Bound the drift that caused this rather than relying on the hints being
refreshed by hand: the coverage guard now reports the unmeasured share as
serial_unhinted= and refuses past PORTABLE_SERIAL_MAX_UNHINTED_PERCENT,
which leaves room for newly added tests while making a stale table fail
the guard instead of silently pushing one shard into its cap.

No test changes what it asserts and no test stops running; only the
partition across shards changes.

…id#3503)

* fix(bin): deliver typed terminal results from remote work homes

A public commitment whose work is bound to a REMOTE secondmate home could
never receive its typed terminal result. `fm-public-followup.sh brief`
printed an emit command carrying this home's own absolute path and this
checkout's own script path, neither of which exists on the machine the
worker runs on, so the worker had nothing it could write to that the
owning home would ever read - and `consume` kept finding nothing while
the promise stayed open.

The brief is now route-aware: for a remote work home it prints that
route's own code root and home with `--stage-in`, so the typed event is
staged in the home where the work actually runs, and the closing
paragraph names the owning home as the one on the other machine instead
of pointing at the path above it. The owning home collects those staged
results over the same SSH route it reaches that secondmate on, because
the transport only runs outbound: `consume` pulls them into its own
inbox and reconciles them exactly as it reconciles a local report.
Collection is non-destructive until the result is durably held, so a
dropped connection cannot lose a terminal result, and a route that could
not be reached is named in `consume`'s output with the promise left open
rather than reported as an empty inbox.

A local work home is untouched: the brief still prints `--home` with this
home and this checkout's script, and the event still lands directly in
this home's typed terminal-result inbox.

This is the emit-side counterpart of the retire/clear fix in kunchenguid#3479 and
reuses the remote-route resolution that landed with it. Reconciling a
loop bound to a remote route now reaches that route, so the existing
remote cases drive `consume` through the same faked transport their
other steps already use.

* fix(pi): settle watcher delivery on Pi accepting the follow-up

A follow-up queued while main is streaming joins the running run without
ever raising before_agent_start, so waiting on that event before clearing
the successor pipeline (kunchenguid#3498) stalled every later actionable close: no
successor started, no wake was delivered or offered to the branch, and the
turn-end guard woke main to re-arm by hand after every close.

The pipeline now settles once Pi accepts the follow-up. Consumption is
observed at before_agent_start for an idle main and at the user
message_start for a streaming main, and decides only what a replacement
session (/new, /resume, /fork, reload) replays. An exhausted restoration
delivers its typed failure without launching an arm past the retry bound,
which the stall had hidden. The replacement-coordinator map is typed so the
strict no-emit typecheck passes again.

Tests: the doubles no longer raise before_agent_start for a streaming send,
a portable regression drives two actionable closes while main streams and
proves the successor chain plus consumption-scoped replay, and a
credential-free real-SDK probe pins Pi's event contract for both the
streaming and the idle follow-up.

* fix(pi): retry a verified successor that fails during wake delivery

A verified successor can exit while the wake it was started for is still
being delivered, most plausibly during a branch turn that holds the
settlement for minutes. Its failure close arrived while the pipeline's
single-flight guard was set, so the close handler skipped the retry, and
the pipeline's end no longer launched an arm, which left the live
generation with no watcher and no retry timer.

The close handler now records that failure when the child had reported
readiness and was not retired by the restoration itself, and the pipeline
runs the ordinary bounded, lock-checked retry for it once the delivery
settles. A restoration started for a later pending supersedes it, and an
exhausted restoration still hands repair to main without a further arm.

The regression holds a branch settlement open while the verified
successor exits with a failure and proves one retry watcher starts after
the settlement releases, none while it is held.

* fix(bin): bound repeat stale wakes for a parked but live worker

A worker parked on a declared wait - `paused:` for an external or pipeline
wait, or a verified `captain-held` transfer - kept waking firstmate far inside
FM_PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS. Observed as five consecutive alarms on one
captain-held worker and dozens across a day on a pipeline wait, and reported
upstream as four wakes in 75 minutes against a 3600s window.

pause_state_class deliberately answers `none` for a still-live agent even under
a declared wait, so a worker genuinely waiting on a decision is never silenced.
That classification is correct and is left alone; it routes every parked but
live worker through surface_nonterminal_stale on first sight of each distinct
stale hash, and an idle parked pane still churns its hash on a clock or a token
counter without changing what is being waited on.

Two places let that churn re-alarm:

- surface_nonterminal_stale queued the wake BEFORE consulting whether a wait was
  declared, then wrote `.paused-resurfaced-<key>` - the very throttle that should
  have suppressed it. The throttle was never read on this path and was advanced
  by the wake it should have prevented.
- The hash-change path cleared that throttle through clear_pause_tracking
  whenever the classification came back `none`, so each tick also bought the same
  declared wait a fresh window. Fixing only the first site changes nothing.

Read the throttle before anything is queued and advance it only on a wake that
really fires, and on the hash-change path reset only the per-hash bookkeeping
while the declaration still stands, via a clear_stale_hash_tracking split so
neither half of clear_pause_tracking is duplicated. The throttle is keyed to the
declaration, not to the pane.

First sight still wakes, so an inconclusive state is still inspected, and the
window's end still re-surfaces once, so a forgotten wait cannot rot invisibly -
noise traded for a bounded cadence, never for silence. The wake identity stays
the plain `stale: <win>` the away-mode handoff depends on.

Tests cover both observed forms and were confirmed to fail against three
deliberate breaks: each site reverted on its own, and a re-surface that never
fires again.

* fix(document): Clarify declared-wait wake cadence documentation

* fix(ci): Captain, fixed the stale-throttle inheritance: cadence markers now bind to the current wait declaration, so replacement paused and captain-held waits each emit their first plain `stale:` wake. Added behavioral coverage for both forms. Bite proof failed as expected when identity matching was removed, then passed after restoration. Full watcher triage suite, `bin/fm-lint.sh`, syntax checks, and diff checks pass. Changes remain uncommitted for the outer executor

* fix(ci): Captain, fixed the confirmed Greptile finding. `resurface_absorbed` now applies a throttle only when its stored declaration scope matches the current wait, so replacement `paused:` and `captain-held` waits surface immediately without changing classification. Added executable coverage for both absorbed forms. Bite proof failed before the fix at the intended assertion; afterward the full watcher triage suite, `bin/fm-lint.sh`, shell syntax checks, and `git diff --check` passed
…er (kunchenguid#3567)

* fix(turnend): accept the away-mode daemon as the supervision owner

While state/.afk exists the away-mode daemon owns supervision and runs
bin/fm-watch.sh one-shot: the watcher exits on every wake and the daemon
starts its replacement. The turn-end guard tested for a live watcher
process holding the watch lock at that instant, so a turn boundary that
landed in the hand-off blocked with "TURN WOULD END BLIND" while
supervision was completely healthy, costing a full handling turn each
time.

Reproduced with the real daemon wrapping the real watcher and the real
guard sampling the same home: 6 of 40 samples blocked, every one of them
with the daemon alive and the beacon 2-3 seconds old, and a new watcher
pid on each cycle. After the fix the same reproduction blocks 0 of 40,
and killing the daemon and its watcher (away mode still on, beacon still
fresh) blocks again.

The guard now accepts a live, identity-matched daemon holding this home
as proof of supervision while away mode is active. The identity match is
the same discipline the watcher lock uses, so a recycled pid or a lock
left by a killed daemon proves nothing. The fresh-beacon half of the
predicate is unchanged: a daemon that stops restarting its watcher still
blocks once the beacon passes grace, a home with no supervisor blocks
exactly as before, and with away mode off the strict watcher predicate is
untouched.

The predicate reads only durable state, so it behaves identically for
every primary harness and runtime backend.

wedge_timer_check reopened its idle timer and appended a brand-new
"escalation N" wake to the queue every FM_STALE_ESCALATE_SECS (240s) for
as long as a pane stayed wedged, so a task that had already finished and
recommended ending the session kept re-escalating forever at the raw poll
cadence instead of the far longer PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS cadence every other
absorbed wait already uses.

Key the wake to one continuing episode instead, modeled on
fm_guard_stale_episode_key (bin/fm-guard.sh): a full wake still fires
immediately on the first crossing of the wedge threshold and again once
FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT is reached, but every other escalation in
the same episode is throttled to one resurface per PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS
via a new .wedge-resurfaced-<key> marker. The escalation counter itself
still advances every round regardless of whether that round wakes anyone,
so the count and the demand-deep-inspection marker stay accurate.

A genuine state change - the pane going busy again, its task worktree
being written, a declared pause, or a hash change - still opens a fresh
episode and surfaces immediately, since the existing marker-reset call
sites now also clear the new marker.

Update docs/architecture.md and the FM_WEDGE_DEMAND_INSPECT_COUNT /
wedge_timer_check comment blocks to describe the new cadence. Rewrite the
two existing multi-round wedge tests (which asserted the old per-poll
escalation text) to match the new dedup behavior, and add a dedicated
test proving a genuinely stuck task still resurfaces once
PAUSE_RESURFACE_SECS elapses while identical repeats inside that window
are dropped.

This reverts commit c326cfa9430c6173eedc8ff7f27d19d0552daf01.

The automatic CI repair round removed the up-front `gh` prerequisite check
while keeping the `gh` dependency: `bin/fm-pr-merge.sh` still calls
`gh api graphql` for the outcome read and `gh api` for the branch-rules read.
That left the same hard requirement without the clear named error, and review
immediately raised a new finding for exactly the failure the check prevents -
`gh-axi pr merge` landing the merge while the follow-up read fails, so the PR
metadata is never recorded.

The check is also symmetric with the GitLab arm directly above it, which
already refuses up front when `glab` or `jq` is missing, on the stated
principle that a missing tool should be a named prerequisite rather than a
merge that is armed and then refused for an unexplained reason.

The workflows this round was chasing sit at `action_required` because this is
a fork pull request; no code change can turn them green.

* fix(pr): keep PR bookkeeping when a merge outcome read fails

On the GitHub path a merge call that returned success was followed by
`github_read_outcome || exit 1`, so a transient API failure, rate limit,
or network blip during the read dropped out of the script before
`record_pr_metadata` ever ran. The merge could have landed while `pr=`
went unrecorded and the merge poll was never armed - bookkeeping lost on
a real merge. The failure path just above already recorded metadata
before exiting, so the error path was more careful than the success one.

Record the PR before that refusal. Recording arms the later merge poll
and is not a success claim, which is the same reasoning that keeps
`record_pr_metadata` on the gh-axi failure path. The refusal itself is
unchanged: exit stays non-zero and the message still names the concrete
observed state. Metadata is withheld only when the read succeeds and
proves the pull request neither merged nor queued.

Pin it with a case that stubs `gh api graphql` into failure after a
successful `gh-axi pr merge`, asserting both the non-zero exit and the
recorded metadata.

* no-mistakes(review): Aggregate queue rules and report conflicts explicitly

* fix(pr): keep the merge abstraction reachable and its bookkeeping intact

Two holes remained in the outcome-verified GitHub merge path, both on
installations where gh-axi is present but gh is not.

The verification preflight refused before bin/fm-pr-merge.sh ever reached
the configured gh-axi merge abstraction, so an installation without gh
could no longer merge at all. gh-axi now performs the merge unconditionally
and the queue-aware gh read became an optional enrichment: with gh on PATH
its GraphQL view still separates merged from queued, and without gh the
gh-axi view still proves a landed merge while every outcome it cannot prove
refuses.

The PR metadata recording sat behind the outcome read, so a merge that
landed before that read failed lost pr= and its merge poll. Recording now
happens once, before either forge call, which arms the poll without
claiming a landed outcome and leaves teardown a PR identity to verify
against no matter how the read ends.

Rebasing onto main also restored the durable merge-outcome reporting and
the GitLab landed-state confirmation that the conflict resolution dropped.

Tests pin each fix through the executable interface: the merge abstraction
is reached and verified with gh absent, a failed fallback read keeps its
bookkeeping, and a mock that snapshots the task meta during the forge call
proves pr= is recorded before the merge can land.

* fix(pi): prevent duplicate captain outcome reports (#3184)

* fix(pi): stop reporting one merge to the captain twice

The supervision branch's captain-outcome note told main, unconditionally,
that the note "is not your own earlier output" and to relay it now. When
main had already reported the same event, that assertion was false and the
order turned the correct response - saying nothing new - into a mechanical
re-report, so the captain saw one merge reported twice in 16 seconds.

Two independent changes, both needed:

- The relay instruction is now conditional. It still names itself as a
  supervision outcome so main cannot mistake it for its own earlier answer
  (the silent loss that instruction exists to prevent), and it now lets
  main stay quiet about an outcome it has already given the captain.

- The merge case is closed at its source rather than left to that judgment.
  One merge reaches a home on two independent paths by design - main's own
  permanently main-owned merge poll, and the branch's task-local status
  wake - and main's captain-facing text only reaches the branch's mirror at
  main's turn end, so the branch can escalate before it could possibly see
  the captain was already told. bin/fm-pr-merge-notified.sh answers that
  question from bin/fm-pr-lib.sh's canonical merge-notification marker, so
  the answer holds regardless of mirror timing. A captain outcome naming an
  already-published merge is delivered as the ordinary rendered note
  instead of opening a follow-up turn: still appended, still visible, still
  recorded with the verdict the branch decided, minus the wasted turn.

Any error, timeout, or unreadable state relays the outcome. A duplicate
announces itself; a lost outcome does not.

Regression coverage drives the real delivery path in both directions: a new
outcome must still reach the captain in exactly one follow-up turn even
beside an unrelated published merge, and an already-published merge must
open no second turn while a different PR in the same task still does. The
merge path's real producer and this new consumer are exercised end to end
in tests/fm-pr-merge.test.sh.

Pi-only by construction: the delivery path lives in .pi/extensions, so no
other harness loads it, and the new script only reads existing markers.

* no-mistakes(review): Recheck ownership before merge outcome delivery

* no-mistakes(document): Document merge-outcome suppression exception

* refactor(pi): drop the source-level merge suppression, keep the envelope fix

The captain reviewed this branch and judged the source-level duplicate
suppression overly complicated for the problem it solved, and asked for
the change to be reduced to the envelope wording alone.

Remove the mergeIntoMain downgrade path, bin/fm-pr-merge-notified.sh, and
every test and document that existed only for it. What remains is the
conditional captain-outcome instruction: main is told to stay quiet about
an outcome it has already reported and to relay anything else, which
covers the duplicate without a second mechanism.

The silent-loss protection is untouched - the note is still typed,
self-describing, and delivered as one invisible follow-up turn - and the
behavioral tests still assert that, now requiring both halves of the
conditional instruction.

The outer pipeline can now commit and attest the new head

* fix(bin): prioritize active pipeline-owned crew runs (#3194)

* fix(bin): bind the live pipeline-owned run instead of a superseded failed row

fm-crew-state.sh bound a superseded FAILED no-mistakes run to a task instead
of the LIVE replacement run: the live run's pipeline-owned lane head is not a
git object in the task worktree, so head-equality attribution rejected it and
the coarse runs-list fallback silently continued past the RUNNING row onto an
older failed row whose head equalled the stale worktree HEAD. The home summary
then flipped invalid and Bearings hid the home's live work (F10).

Attribution precedence now follows the daemon's own identity:
- An ACTIVE run for the task's branch binds without head equality while
  branch_sync.state is pipeline_owned (fm_nm_run_is_pipeline_owned_active);
  the pipeline owning the branch is itself the attribution.
- A genuinely failed run with no later run on the branch still reports failed
  through the unchanged head-equality path - real failures are not hidden.
- In the coarse runs scan, an unresolvable head is unknown attribution and
  stops the scan (fm_nm_head_resolvable) instead of falling through to an
  older row; a resolvable-but-mismatched head keeps the historical
  reused-branch skip.

The exemption never applies to a terminal run and requires pipeline_owned
specifically, both pinned by negative-control tests. Fixture shape verified
against the live incident run's real axi status output.

* feat(bin): add concurrent bounded remote transport lanes (#3210)

* feat(bin): per-home remote transport lanes with cancellation, bounded send, and closed stdin

All remote commands for every home on one host used to serialize through one
single-job-at-a-time worker on one shared queue: a timed-out caller abandoned a
staged job that kept running, retries convoyed behind it, fm-send's remote leg
had no time bound, and staging captured the caller's stdin to EOF so any
fm-on.sh caller with an open stdin wedged staging indefinitely.

- The worker now serves one lane per staged home: same-home jobs run strictly
  FIFO in a new staging-sequence order while different homes run concurrently,
  each lane as its own top-level worker process (a backgrounded subshell does
  not reliably reap dead children, so a zombie group leader kept a finished
  command's process group signalable). Long-poll preemption is lane-scoped.
- A caller that disconnects or times out cancels its job: the entrypoint marks
  the record on any post-staging exit and probes its parent so a dead ssh
  channel cancels without a signal; the worker skips cancelled queued jobs,
  terminates a running cancelled job's process group, and reaps the record.
- fm-send's remote leg is bounded by FM_SEND_REMOTE_BUDGET (default 30s) and a
  bound hit exits through the existing unconfirmed-delivery contract, which
  stays idempotent because the remote enqueue deduplicates.
- fm-on.sh defaults the remote command's stdin to /dev/null; the three payload
  callers pass the new --stdin flag. Abandoned .stage.* litter is age-reaped.
- The job execution deadline no longer loses up to a second to clock
  truncation.

test's whole FAMILY. bin/fm-push-transition-lib.sh is named by exactly one
real-Herdr E2E, so a one-line change to it selected all 12 real-herdr-gated
scripts, including a 341s presentation E2E with no dependency on it.

Resolve direct test references per script, and keep resolving consumer bin/
scripts through the curated map so recorded family-level coupling survives.

Also fix a load-sensitive flake: the tool-update budget deadline is whole-second
granular, so a test budget of 1 left headroom anywhere in (0, 1] seconds and the
first budget check could already read as exhausted.

* feat(bin): make suite wall clock a result and let a family's concurrency be proven

--max-wall-ms fails a run whose wall clock exceeds the caller's budget, after
reporting the per-script results. A suite that stays green while outgrowing its
caller's invocation budget is the regression that got an agent killed mid-run
and retried invisibly, so duration has to be a result rather than a log note.

--pool on the isolation-proof harness runs the same concurrent proof over a
whole family, so 'is this family safe to parallelize?' is answered by a command
instead of a guess. Measured watcher-wake-lock and refused it: 3 of 18 scripts
fail under concurrency on wall-clock assertions about reaching the next poll.

* perf(bin): schedule the changed suite concurrently, longest first

The watcher-wake-lock family is proven concurrent-safe (two clean runs, 18
candidates, 0 failures at 4 workers; docs/fm-test-isolation-proof.md), so
--changed now schedules its proven-concurrent scripts with bounded parallelism
and runs any unproven remainder serially afterwards, never beside them.

Concurrent runs are ordered longest-hint-first. Workers are handed scripts in
order, so alphabetical order started the 193s fm-watch-triage last and stranded
it running alone: 395s wall against a 205s balanced four-worker sum.

An explicit --jobs keeps its strict refusal, so every CI lane is unchanged.

* fix(bin): bound a hung test instead of letting it hang the suite

tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh was observed running 17+ minutes against a
464ms recorded hint, and the suite had no per-script bound to stop it. An
unbounded suite is precisely what silently outruns a caller's invocation budget,
and --max-wall-ms is evaluated after the run so it cannot end one that never
finishes.

--per-script-timeout-secs terminates a script that outruns it and records exit
124, so the run still completes, accounts for the script, and fails. The
auto-concurrent --changed path applies 900s, far above the slowest real script
(the 341s Herdr presentation E2E), so it only ever converts a hang.

* no-mistakes(review): Restore plain changed-suite automatic concurrency

* no-mistakes(review): Record resolved changed-suite worker count

* fix(bin): keep a runner change selecting its whole curated family

A pipeline fix round narrowed the curated changed-file map so bin/fm-test-run.sh
and bin/fm-test-isolation-proof.sh selected only their own two contract tests,
and the documentation surfaces only the audience test. That cut this branch's
own changed selection from 33 scripts to 5.

The runner executes every pure-contract-unit script, so its contract test
passing proves its logic is right, not that the suite it drives still runs.
Narrowing it also makes any wall-clock claim about the changed suite trivially
true by not running the work.

Only the unmapped bin/* grep fallback resolves per script; curated mappings keep
their recorded family coupling.

* perf(bin): admit the pure-contract-unit family to bounded concurrency

A runner-file change selects pure-contract-unit, so that family decides the
changed suite's wall clock. With only watcher-wake-lock admitted, 14 of its 33
selected scripts fell to the serial tail and the selection measured 327.3s
against a 300s budget: the concurrent group was 19 scripts totalling 273.4s
while the tail alone was 215.7s.

bin/fm-test-isolation-proof.sh --pool pure-contract-unit --jobs 4 passes twice,
32 candidates, 0 failures, so the family is admitted on recorded evidence.

Full 33-script plain --changed: 327.3s -> 181.8s / 178.5s / 172.7s, 0 failures,
inside a 300000ms budget. Also states the per-script guard's derivation.

* no-mistakes(review): Align contract-unit concurrency cap with recorded proof

* no-mistakes(document): Record final changed-suite performance evidence

* fix(bin): keep an empty changed selection clean on stock macOS Bash

Under set -u, bash 3.2 treats "${arr[@]}" on an EMPTY array as an
unbound-variable error, while bash 4.4+ makes it a harmless no-op. The
concurrency work removed the early exit for an empty selection, so execution
fell through to the unguarded existence loop: on stock /bin/bash 3.2.57 a
contributor who changes only documentation and runs --changed got

  bin/fm-test-run.sh: line 1713: SCRIPTS[@]: unbound variable

with exit 1 and no summary, instead of a clean total=0 pass.

Restore the early exit, and guard every remaining array expansion reachable
with an empty selection. The reported duration is real elapsed invocation
time rather than a hardcoded zero, so a selection phase that outran
--max-wall-ms still fails.

Verified on this host with /bin/bash 3.2.57: exit 1 with the unbound-variable
error before, exit 0 with FM_TEST_SUMMARY total=0 after.

* fix(bin): keep home-summary publication from starving supervision (#3273)

* fix(bin): keep home-summary publication bounded and off the watcher beat

A home whose tasks had accumulated ordinary status history could not publish
state/home-summary.json at all, and every attempt starved the watcher's
liveness beacon while it failed silently.

The producer's per-task open-decision fold spent tens of milliseconds per
status line on a bash 3.2 global bracket-class substitution used only as a
blank-line guard. On a real home that made the whole ledger producer take
minutes, so publication burned its full FM_HOME_SUMMARY_TIMEOUT on every
attempt and never completed. Replace that guard with an equivalent case glob
in the one fold owner, which both the whole-file and cursor-backed folds use.

Bound each per-task current-state read in the snapshot with
FM_SNAPSHOT_CREW_STATE_TIMEOUT. For a remote secondmate that read crosses ssh,
whose dead-peer detection deliberately never kills a slow-but-alive remote
command, so nothing else bounded it.

Detach the watcher's two publication triggers from the poll loop. The loop
owns the beacon that fm-guard.sh reads as proof supervision is alive, and an
inline publication put up to a full publication deadline between two beacon
touches. A single in-flight publication is tracked so a slow one cannot
accumulate clones.

Report a repeatedly failing publication at session start. Publication stays
deliberately non-fatal to its caller, so the existing bounded home-local
failure record is now surfaced as a HOME_SUMMARY bootstrap line once the
ledger is absent or stale and failures have been recorded since.

* fix(bin): prevent routine updates from hiding actionable status (#3268)

* fix(supervision): classify the appended status span, not the last line

An actionable project update could be classified as routine and absorbed, so
a worker that raised a decision, hit a blocker, failed, or finished stalled
silently with the captain never told.

Trigger, mask, symptom. A worker appends a captain-relevant event
(`needs-decision`, `blocked`, `failed`, `done`). Any later routine append -
a `working:` progress note - lands before the supervisor classifies the
batch; the watcher's 30s signal-grace linger exists precisely to coalesce a
status write with the same turn's turn-end, so this window is ordinary
rather than rare. Both supervisors then asked "is the LAST line
captain-relevant?", read the routine line, and absorbed the wake. The
`.seen-*` suppressor advanced either way, so nothing ever re-read the event.
When the crew was also provably working, the no-verb fallback absorbed it
too, which is why the event disappeared completely instead of surfacing late.

Reproduced end to end against a real watcher before any change: with the
trailing `working:` append the watcher never exits and the wake queue stays
empty; with that one line removed - the smallest counterfactual - the same
`needs-decision` surfaces and queues. The away-mode daemon's `classify_signal`
returns `self|routine signal` for a `blocked:` event under the same mask,
which is the worse case because no captain is present to notice.

The proven path was already in the tree: `status_open_decisions` fixed this
exact masking for the durable decision fold, and its header states the rule -
reading an append-only event log last-event-wins cannot represent an earlier
event that a later unrelated line moved past. The classification path was
never migrated to that read model. That is the earliest divergence, and the
fix is to migrate it rather than to special-case the symptom.

`status_span_first_actionable` in bin/fm-classify-lib.sh is the new single
owner: it reads the bytes at or after a caller-supplied position and returns
the first still-live captain-relevant event. Each supervisor supplies its own
position, because the always-on watcher and the away-mode daemon classify the
same stream independently and must not share one cursor: the watcher reads
the size already recorded in its `.seen-*` signature (no new state) and its
`.hb-surfaced-<task>` backstop marker, and the daemon its
`.subsuper-seen-status-<task>` marker. Those two markers held the escalated
line and now hold the escalated-through byte offset, which also removes a
second defect in the same code - content dedup silently swallowed a genuinely
new event whose text repeated an older one. An absent, malformed, or
past-the-end position reads the whole log, so uncertainty surfaces events
rather than losing them, and a marker an older build wrote as a status line
reads that way too. Status logs are only ever appended to, including across a
reused task id, so a recorded position keeps its meaning.

A `needs-decision`/`blocked` event in the span is retired only when the
whole-file fold proves its key closed; `status_open_decisions` stays the sole
owner of that rule, so same-key reopening and reserved-key namespaces need no
second implementation here. Every other captain-relevant event is terminal
and always actionable.

Both backstops now walk every status log instead of only those whose last
line looks captain-relevant, because the event a backstop most needs to catch
is exactly one a later append has moved past. That leaves
`scan_captain_relevant_statuses` with no callers, and it is removed rather
than left as a working copy of the defective read model.

Regression coverage exercises the classifier and both supervisors through
their own interfaces: the masked decision, the captain-reported
release/install completion followed by cleanup chatter, and the away-mode
blocker all surface; a routine append after an already-classified event stays
absorbed, so the fix does not convert ordinary progress into wakes; and the
heartbeat backstop catches a masked event the per-wake path missed. The
end-to-end watcher tests drive a real fm-watch.sh with the crew reported as
provably working, which is the configuration that made the original stall
silent.

Two further claims in the supplied RCA are deliberately not patched here.
"Repeated operational recoveries produced all-clear replies despite known
actions" is downstream of this same cause, not an independent contributor: an
all-clear reply is the documented response when the specific event needs no
action, so a classification that wrongly reported "no action" produces it, and
correcting the classification removes it. "The project was subjected to
validation requirements outside its accepted path" is delivery-mode selection,
which AGENTS.md section 7 owns; no code changed here touches it, so it is out
of scope.

Harness and backend axes were inspected rather than assumed: nothing in this
path reads a vendor-emitted signal. The status log's format and append
protocol are Firstmate's own and identical for every harness, and no runtime
backend reads or writes `.status` files (`bin/backends/*` contain no reference
to them). The surrounding triage's only backend touchpoints - pane capture and
the authoritative crew-state read - are unchanged. No live-harness guard
applies and no per-harness verification record changes.

Verified with `bin/fm-lint.sh`, `bin/fm-doc-audience-check.sh`, and
`bin/fm-test-run.sh --changed --base origin/main`.

* no-mistakes(review): Treat absent status logs as successful empty spans

* no-mistakes(review): Bound repeated classification failures with durable receipts

* revert(supervision): drop the failure-receipt and durable-retry machinery

Captain-authorized revert to the minimal fix. Review rounds added a durable
failure-receipt store and wake-retention-on-failure to bound repeated
classification failures. That machinery grew larger than the fix it protected
and kept producing its own defects: an unreadable log still looped forever
because the always-on watcher never consulted the receipt, and the receipt was
persisted before its diagnostic was durably queued, so a crash in between
swallowed the alarm outright. Those two defects go away with the code that
contained them rather than being repaired.

Removed: the failure-receipt path, fingerprint, record and clear helpers and
their retirement bookkeeping; the retention of a durable wake when
classification fails; and the error-propagation plumbing in both supervisors
that existed only to drive them.

Kept, because it is the accepted fix rather than the declined machinery: span
classification of the events appended since a supervisor last looked, in both
supervisors and both backstops; reporting every actionable event in a span and
committing a position only through what was reported; naming the live opening of
a reopened decision; treating an absent log as ordinary and an unreadable one as
worth reporting; the non-.status filter; and the platform-strength identity that
guards a position commit without failing a read.

Replacement behavior for a log that cannot be classified: report it once, do NOT
advance the classification position so the content is classified from where it
stopped once readable, and DO advance the wake signature so the report is
bounded to one per distinct file state. Reporting and reading are different acts:
telling the captain about a log is not the same as having read it, and only the
latter may move a classification position.

The residual risk is explicit and accepted: there is no guaranteed automatic
retry inside a crash-mid-read window, and the locked session-start replay of the
durable queue covers it. That rationale is recorded at mark_escalated_seen so a
future reader does not reintroduce the retry as a "missing" guarantee.

Also fixes lint failures that arrived with the review-fix commits and were never
caught because the run never reached its lint step: an unfollowable conditional
source directive, a second unquoted-expansion site left after a call was split
across lines, cleanup of the file being read inside its own read loop (restructured
to one post-loop teardown rather than three in-loop copies), stub functions in
tests that are invoked indirectly, and a test local left unused when its
assignment was replaced by a helper. bin/fm-lint.sh passes on the default branch,
so these were introduced here.

Verified with `bin/fm-lint.sh`, the end-to-end masked-decision and away-mode
reproductions, and `bin/fm-test-run.sh` over the supervision, wake-queue,
wake-drain, watch-arm and inactive-reconcile suites (6 scripts, 0 failures).

This prevents normal built-in captures from aborting before publication. Verified: `bash -n bin/fm-procevent.sh` and `git diff --check` pass. The focused process-event suite was run locally but stopped earlier at a local detached-runner claim failure (`reconcile never claimed the registered source`), before the CI-reported post-capture path; CI evidence confirms the fixed unset-variable failure affected the failing remote, board, watcher, and process-event checks

* fix(bin): deliver safety rules to promoted workers (#3269)

* fix(bin): deliver the real definition of done to a promoted scout, and ban --yes

A promoted scout used to receive a free-form placeholder instead of the
mode-specific Definition of done a briefed ship worker gets, so it never
saw the ask-user escalation rule or the --yes prohibition. That gap is the
concrete reason one incident's worker drove validation with --yes and
answered its own ask-user findings.

- Add bin/fm-dod-lib.sh as the single owner of a ship task's mode-specific
  Definition of done, rendered by both bin/fm-brief.sh and bin/fm-promote.sh
  so the two contracts cannot drift.
- bin/fm-promote.sh now writes data/<id>/ship-instructions.md carrying the
  scratch inventory, clean base, ship branch, and that Definition of done,
  and prints the fm-send.sh command that delivers it.
- State the --yes ban as a prohibition rather than a preference, without
  claiming an enforcement the tool does not provide.
- Cover both through the real promotion and brief paths in
  tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh and tests/fm-brief.test.sh.

* no-mistakes(review): Supersede conflicting scout delivery rules after promotion

* no-mistakes(review): Reject invalid promotion instruction destinations

* no-mistakes(document): Align documentation with promotion delivery contracts

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed both CI findings. Promoted workers now receive an explicit worktree-isolation check before branch creation, with instructions to stop and escalate if they are in the primary checkout. Updated behavioral coverage to verify the delivered promotion payload, and aligned the ask-user authority test with the new fleet-wide --yes prohibition. Verified with bin/fm-lint.sh, tests/fm-brief.test.sh, tests/fm-ask-user-authority.test.sh, tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh, and git diff --check

* no-mistakes(ci): Made tests/fm-ask-user-authority.test.sh executable so the modified colocated behavioral test runs directly like the surrounding test suite. Verified bin/fm-lint.sh, fm-brief, ask-user-authority, and task-delivery tests; all pass. git diff --check is clean

* no-mistakes(ci): Strengthened tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh to behaviorally verify that real promotion and brief generation deliver byte-identical Definition-of-done blocks for all three modes. Verified tests/fm-task-delivery.test.sh, tests/fm-brief.test.sh, bin/fm-lint.sh, and git diff --check. The outer pipeline can now commit and attest the updated head

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed promotion isolation instructions so any checkout other than the launched disposable worktree requires escalation, including another non-primary worktree. Updated behavioral coverage against the delivered promotion payload. Verified fm-task-delivery, fm-brief, fm-ask-user-authority, full fm-lint/ShellCheck, workflow lint, and git diff checks

* fix(bin): present Lavish feedback as structured output (#3321)

* fix(bin): present complete Lavish board feedback as structured output

Give the Lavish adapter a read-only presentation so a handler sees every
annotation and the session-ending tag=message as its own field, instead of
grepping a truncated raw capture.

* no-mistakes(review): Preserve unquoted messages and prioritize captain prose

* no-mistakes(document): Document structured Lavish result reads

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed Lavish `read` completeness: rows missing declared fields are excluded from presented items, counted as malformed, and force `complete: no`. Added behavioral regression coverage through the adapter interface. `bin/fm-lint.sh`, syntax checks, and focused valid/malformed read checks passed. The portable-serial failure was an unrelated secondmate cooldown timing flake

* fix: keep task records and backlog transitions atomic (#3322)

* fix(records): pair backlog transitions with the record that moves

Dispatch and completion each moved a task's physical record and its
backlog row as two independently timed steps, so a crash or a forgotten
follow-up could leave the two disagreeing: a record with no in-flight
row, an in-flight row with no owner, or a finished task still shown in
flight.

Fold each backlog transition into the script that performs the physical
change, under the per-task lock it already holds and before it reports
success. Dispatch moves the item to In flight after publishing the task
record and fails loudly, removing its provisional record, when that
transition cannot land. Completion records an authoritative close and
performs it before removing the record, so an interrupted cleanup can be
finished later, and its closing message now confirms what already
happened rather than instructing a future step.

Add a same-home reconciliation sweep to session start so a home that was
interrupted mid-transition settles its own books on restart, replaying a
recorded close and restoring an in-flight row it already owns a worker
for. It never reads or writes another home; the fleet snapshot and the
cross-home nudge stay as backstops.

Close records are validated before they are trusted: the file is read as
raw bytes and rejected outright when it carries a NUL or other control
byte, every field must be well formed and non-duplicated, the id must
match the record it was found under, the data location must resolve
inside this home, and each close argument must carry a permitted,
well-formed value. Writer and reader share one validator so a record
this home publishes always remains replayable, independent of locale.

Homes configured for a manual backlog, and homes with no backlog at all,
stay exempt and are unaffected.

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed all PR-caused CI failures: bootstrap now treats an absent state directory as an empty fresh home while retaining unsafe-state checks; nested remote secondmate retirement accepts records already removed with the retired home; teardown fixtures now provide valid data/manual-backend configuration; and the manual reminder assertion checks the configured absolute backlog path. Verified the reported tests, remote lifecycle E2E, backlog atomicity suite, Bash syntax, diff checks, and ShellCheck. The documented pre-existing captain-hold failure was intentionally untouched

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed Behavior portable serial 3 by adding `od` to the teardown test’s lsof-free PATH fixture. The new close-record validator legitimately requires `od`; its omission caused teardown to fail before process-group cleanup and stall the shard. Verified the full `tests/fm-teardown.test.sh` suite passes, plus Bash syntax, ShellCheck, and `git diff --check`

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed close replay to durably retain incomplete-cleanup evidence before removing task metadata. Subsequent retries now emit the reconciliation warning even after a backlog probe or close failure. Updated the behavioral regression and verified the full atomicity suite under stock macOS Bash 3.2, plus shellcheck and diff checks

* fix(records): validate record bytes without an uncurated tool

The byte validation added for close records and directory paths shelled
out to od. The spawn and teardown lifecycle runs under a curated command
set that deliberately excludes it, so on any restricted PATH the check
could not run, the data directory read as unresolvable, and dispatch and
cleanup refused - wedging the lifecycle rather than protecting it.

An earlier attempt made the failing test pass by adding od to that
curated set. That fixed the test to agree with the defect and quietly
widened the contract the fixture exists to pin, so it is reverted here.

Inspect the bytes with perl instead, which is already in the curated set
and already used in this repo for the same portability reason. The
emitted values are identical to od's, so the rejection semantics are
unchanged: NUL and other control bytes are still refused, legitimate
paths containing spaces or non-ASCII characters still round-trip, and
the check stays independent of the process locale.

The restricted-PATH teardown case now passes because the validator no
longer needs od, not because the fixture was loosened.

* fix(bin): absorb turn-end wakes during bounded pane churn (#2877)

* fix(watch): absorb a turn-end whose pane churned since the previous poll

The watcher's "absorb a benign turn-end when the crew is provably working"
triage was structurally unreachable for any harness whose semantic busy state
has no verified source. crew_absorb_class only reports working for an actively
running no-mistakes step or an exact busy verdict, and bin/fm-crew-state.sh can
only answer unknown for such an adapter, so codex crewmates surfaced a signal
wake at every turn boundary with nothing to act on - a full supervisor drain,
inspect and acknowledge turn per worker turn, scaling with the number of workers
in flight and drowning the wakes that matter in identical noise.

Widen the proof rather than bound the wake rate. A wake carrying only bare
turn-ended markers is now also benign when the task's pane content changed since
the previous poll, compared against the same state/.hash-* marker the staleness
backbone already records and already trusts as liveness. That evidence claims no
harness semantics, so it fabricates no busy verdict an adapter has not earned,
and it needs no adapter cooperation.

Absorb stays evidence-driven in both directions. A wake naming any status file
keeps the strict proof, every captain-relevant verb still surfaces immediately,
and an unresolvable task, a missing prior hash, a failed or empty capture, or an
unchanged pane all surface exactly as before. The absorb defers rather than
swallows: a crew that has stopped renders nothing further, so its now-static pane
surfaces through the staleness backbone within a poll or two. Bounding the
surfacing rate instead would have suppressed genuinely stopped workers.

The derivation lives with the .hash-* marker format in bin/fm-watch.sh, which
owns it, and costs one bounded capture reached only for a no-verb turn-end whose
crew is not already provably working.

* no-mistakes: apply CI fixes

* fix(watch): gate and bound the pane-churn turn-end absorb

Make the pane-churn form of positive work evidence opt-in per home and
bound how long it may defer one endpoint's bare turn-ends.

Absorbing a bare turn-end on pane churn is now reached only when the home
creates config/turnend-churn-absorb. The other two proofs read a verdict
the harness itself vouches for, while this one infers execution from
rendered bytes, so widening the absorb is a home's choice rather than a
default every fleet inherits. With the flag absent the predicate returns
on its first line and triage is unchanged.

Churn and pane staleness read the same pane, so neither can be the
other's only backstop. A pane that renders continuously never presents
the two consecutive identical hashes the staleness backbone needs, so an
unbounded churn absorb left a worker that had genuinely stopped behind
such a renderer with no path to surface at all. One endpoint's turn-ends
may now ride churn evidence for at most FM_TURNEND_CHURN_ABSORB_SECS,
tracked in state/.churn-since-*, after which the wake surfaces and the
window restarts. The bound is evaluated before any .stale- state is
touched, so a wake that surfaces there leaves the staleness backbone's
own classification alone.

Covers both with behavioral tests: the same churning fixture that absorbs
with the flag surfaces and queues without it, and a spent deferral window
surfaces and restarts. The four existing safety guards now run with the
flag enabled so they keep proving their specific guard.
