Reproduces the terminal render freeze after sustained fast scrolling: transport refusals put the replay state machine in recovery, an unchanged-grid viewport acknowledgement floors at the same revision the Mac's concurrent replay response claimed, and the machine then refuses its own recovery baseline forever. The screen stays on the frozen presentation until the workspace is re-entered. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Sustained fast scrolling could permanently freeze the terminal render (recoverable only by re-entering the workspace). Three defects composed: 1. The Mac acknowledged every viewport report, including no-change re-reports, with render_revision_floor = its current capture revision, read AFTER the concurrent replay response claimed that same revision. The phone then refused the exact recovery baseline it had requested. The floor is now minted before the report applies and is only sent when the acknowledgement actually changed the effective grid. 2. The phone's replay state machine kept refusing full recovery baselines at or below a poisoned floor forever. In recovery, a full baseline now bypasses the viewport floor; complete() still verifies the observed grid before anything is revealed. 3. failOpenTerminalReplayBarrier cleared store-side barrier state but left the coordinator's state machine wedged and the frozen presentation installed with rendering suppressed, violating its own 'live output is never dropped indefinitely' invariant. Fail-open now delivers an ordered control chunk that drops stale ordering hints and abandons the frozen presentation so the live renderer resumes.

Preserve the acknowledged grid when bypassing the viewport floor.
At Lines 61-63, recovery accepts any full frame at or below the floor. A pre-acknowledgement full frame can arrive after a grid-changing viewport acknowledgement. complete only compares the observed frame with that same frame. It does not verify the acknowledged effective grid. The stale frame can then reveal the old grid.
Carry the acknowledged columns and rows into VerifiedTerminalReplayStateMachine. Permit the recovery exception only when the full frame matches that grid. Keep rejecting a stale full frame at the floor.
Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Sources/CmuxMobileShellUI/VerifiedTerminalReplayStateMachine.swift#L53-L63: retain the acknowledged effective grid with the floor and require a matching full-frame grid for the recovery exception.Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI/Tests/CmuxMobileShellUITests/VerifiedTerminalReplayStateMachineTests.swift#L193-L237: add a stale full frame at the floor with the pre-acknowledgement dimensions, assert rejection, then assert that the matching full baseline remains accepted.
As per path instructions, “Replay barriers, viewport floors, render epochs, and verified presentation state are correctness-critical” and must use one authoritative source.

Cause
Follow-up to #10186: with the scroll-drain watchdog crash fixed, sustained fast scrolling surfaced a pre-existing wedge. The phone log (
cmux-debug.log, tag scrfix) shows the loop: every ~20s a viewport re-report acks, a recovery baseline arrives,verified_replay.freezelogs with no reveal, tworetry_after_failurecycles, thenreplay_barrier_fail_open reason=retry_exhausted, andsinceOutputclimbs forever. The terminal renders nothing until the workspace is re-entered.Three defects compose:
v2MobileTerminalViewportacked every report (including no-change 72x61 re-reports) withrender_revision_floor= its current capture revision, read after the concurrent replay response claimed that same revision. The phone refused the exact baseline it requested.VerifiedTerminalReplayStateMachine.beginrefused full recovery baselines at or below the poisoned floor forever.failOpenTerminalReplayBarrierdocuments that no path may drop live output indefinitely, but it cleared only store-side state; the coordinator's state machine stayed wedged and the frozen presentation stayed installed with rendering suppressed.Fix
complete()still verifies the observed grid before reveal.failOpen()) and abandons the frozen presentation so the live renderer resumes.Regression
State-machine test reproduces the starved recovery baseline (transport refusal, unchanged-grid ack flooring at the baseline's revision, baseline refused). A second test covers fail-open re-admitting the next full baseline while still failing closed for deltas.

Recovers iOS terminal rendering when a replay barrier fails open and removes non-terminal mobile surfaces from the app. Previously, fail-open cleared only store state and left the UI frozen; now an ordered control chunk drops stale replay hints and abandons the frozen presentation so live rendering resumes.
