Intent

Finish validation so kunchenguid#5709 is merge-ready.

The PR already contains the fix (Pi Codex usage-limit banner as a settled composer, plus the pi 0.87.1 error-hint row). Do not redesign it. Rebase onto current upstream main if needed, keep the existing branch name fm/fm-pr-5000-codex-banner on the mehulbhagwani/firstmate fork (that is the PR head), and drive no-mistakes until the PR is green or the gate reports a real blocker.

Local proof already recorded before handoff: tests/fm-composer-lib.test.sh and tests/fm-control.test.sh passed, bin/fm-lint.sh passed, on a rebase of upstream/main. The live opt-in guard tests/fm-composer-pi-codex-banner-live-e2e.test.sh did not render a banner on installed pi 0.85.1; mark that scenario untested if the gate requires live=true, do not fake a pass.

Push only to origin (mehulbhagwani/firstmate) branch fm/fm-pr-5000-codex-banner. Do not merge the PR.

What Changed

  • bin/fm-composer-lib.sh: _fm_composer_pi_terminal_banner_above now recognizes Pi's Codex usage-limit banner as a settled composer state, and tolerates at most one occurrence of pi 0.87.1's new fixed "If this looks like a pi bug, /bug sends a report to the developers." hint row between the banner and the separator pair (via new FM_COMPOSER_PI_ERROR_HINT_RE_DEFAULT / FM_COMPOSER_PI_ERROR_HINT_RE override), while still requiring the row beneath the hint to match the exact banner text.
  • tests/fm-composer-lib.test.sh: adds byte-fixture regression coverage for the new hint-line shape (including a negative case where two hint rows in a row still refuse classification).
  • tests/fm-composer-pi-codex-banner-live-e2e.test.sh: new opt-in live guard test that exercises the classifier against an actually-installed pi binary.
  • docs/configuration.md: documents the FM_COMPOSER_PI_ERROR_HINT_RE override.
  • tests/fm-control.test.sh, related test/doc updates: keep existing composer-detection coverage green alongside the new banner handling.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The PR-owned change (the last four commits atop rebased upstream history) is a narrow, well-bounded regex/scan fix in fm-composer-lib.sh with exact-match, case-sensitive tolerance for exactly one vendor boilerplate row, backed by thorough byte-fixture tests covering the fix and every adjacent boundary (foreign identity, near-miss text, running pi, two-hint adversarial case, typed text), plus a corresponding fm-control regression test and documentation updates.

Testing

This is a correction-only turn with no tool use, code execution, or re-validation performed. Per the validation error, scenario 2 ("Byte-fixture matrix...") was recorded in the rejected payload with live=false and cannot support a "pass" result under the live-validation contract, so it is downgraded to "untested" with a reason. All other fields are carried forward unchanged from the rejected payload since they were not flagged.

…ns (kunchenguid#5389)

The sibling secondmate stall cases in tests/fm-wake-queue.test.sh now wait for the watcher's recorded observation instead of a one-second wall-clock checkpoint, so they can neither fail nor pass vacuously under load. Deterministic proof with a 5s watcher launch delay: before the fix 4 cases passed vacuously and 6 failed; after it all 10 pass on the recorded observation.

Also includes a CI flake fix from validation: fm_control_harness_supported in bin/fm-control-lib.sh finishes reading the harness allowlist before returning, removing intermittent broken-pipe diagnostics. Behavior is unchanged.
… tail (kunchenguid#5336)

* fix(bin): refuse a Herdr submit that would send only a message tail

A long typed payload can sit in the composer as a suffix, or as a paste placeholder plus a remainder, and the following Enter was still reported as delivered. Prove the selected composer holds the payload before Enter, and report failure when it does not.

* no-mistakes(review): Scope Herdr payload proof to Claude, clear composer on refusal

* no-mistakes(test): Clear refused Herdr composer drafts one wrapped row per press

* no-mistakes(test): Accept Claude's multi-line paste placeholder in Herdr submit proof

* no-mistakes(review): Accept Claude read-back that drops U+2063 in Herdr proof

* no-mistakes(document): Document Herdr proof ignoring U+2063 operational mark

* no-mistakes(ci): I made a one-line test change. The failing check comes from a timing race in an existing test that this PR doesn't touch. **What failed:** `tests/fm-procevent.test.sh` failed at "the superseded paced runner invoked its stale command" (line ~3313). The PR only changes the Herdr files and their tests, and the same shard passed on main at the base commit. **Why it can fail:** the fixture starts a second runner with a 3-second launch floor (the minimum wait since the source's last launch). That runner sleeps for the rest of the floor and only then checks whether its registration was replaced (`fm_procevent_launch_floor_wait` in `bin/fm-procevent-lib.sh`). The test then waits for the claim and re-registers the source. If that takes longer than about 3 seconds after the first launch, the old runner wakes up, finds its registration still current, and runs the stale command. That produces the second log line the test reports. The CI shard was slow (this one test took 160 s). **Fix:** in `tests/fm-procevent.test.sh` I raised the superseded runner's floor from 3 to 15 seconds and added a comment explaining why. The floor now outlasts the fixture setup even on a loaded runner. Nothing else changed: the first launch and the later fresh-registration start still use a 3-second floor, and no product code changed. **Verification:** - The full test file can't give a reliable result on this machine (load average about 64 on 8 cores). It failed earlier, at the reconcile assertion around line 1680, before it reached this section. - I ran the changed section by itself (file setup plus the pacing-race block) five times with the fix: all passed, in about 9-13 s each. - The original code also passed five out of five, so the race didn't reproduce locally. The diagnosis rests on the code path and the CI log. - I haven't seen the full file or the CI shard pass with the fix yet

Speaking as Kun's firstmate: squash-merging — opt-in (forge=gerrit registry-gated; default project-mode stdout restored to two words), attestation MATCH, CI+NM green, safe review, MERGEABLE.
…uid#5358)

* feat(bin): add an opt-in per-home worker account pin

A home that mixes work and personal accounts for one runner had no way to
say which account its workers launch on: Claude workers inherited whatever
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR the supervising process had, Pi workers the pane's ambient
root, and an ambient API key outranked both, with no signal at launch.

config/claude-account and config/pi-account now pin that choice per home.
With neither file every launch is unchanged. With one, every launch of that
runner from the home (ship, scout, local secondmate, raw Claude command, and
relaunch) runs under the declared root, and the spawn refuses before any
endpoint exists when the file is malformed or the runner's own check
(claude auth status, pi auth check with a model-listing fallback) says the
pinned account is not signed in. The check runs in a cleared environment so
an ambient credential cannot answer for an empty root. A pinned Claude launch
sheds the environment credentials Claude ranks above a stored login; a pinned
Pi launch needs an explicit <provider>/<id> model for a declared provider and
also carries --provider. The chosen account is printed on the spawned line and
recorded in the task record, and relaunch checks the pin before stopping the
running agent.

* test(secondmate): give the concurrent config-push wait room for a slow host

test_config_reread_serializes_concurrent_pushes waited about two seconds for
the first fm-config-push.sh to reach its first send-keys. On a slower host
that push takes four to five seconds, so the test failed on main before the
push ever got there. The loop still leaves as soon as the marker appears, so
the larger bound costs nothing where the push is fast.

* no-mistakes(review): Refuse raw Claude account overrides under a pin
…ts (kunchenguid#5470)

* fix(bin): keep the Herdr lab session option before a -- delimiter

fm-herdr-lab.sh run appended --session <lab> after every argument, so a
command with a passthrough delimiter such as agent start ... -- <agent args>
handed the session flag to the agent and Herdr routed the call by the
caller's ambient socket instead of the lab.
The helper now inserts --session <lab> immediately before the first --
delimiter and keeps the trailing form otherwise.

* no-mistakes(document): Clarify Herdr lab session option placement
* feat(bin): guard the partition, harness pin, and bounded exec for a non-Pi supervision host

Lease liveness is now the pure record test in every calling context, so an
unmarked main honors a live branch lease held by a separate process, and a
lease file engages the guard's claim serialization for any caller; a home
with no lease files still takes no lock.

bin/fm-harness.sh honors FM_SUPERVISION_PRIMARY_HARNESS while
FM_SUPERVISION_ACTOR=branch, so a supervision branch running under another
harness resolves own, crew, and secondmate to the primary's harness.

fm_tasks_axi's watchdog moves into bin/fm-timeout-lib.sh as fm_exec_timed with
a separate grace: the perl watchdog is preferred, runs the command in its own
process group against wall-clock deadlines, forwards TERM/INT/HUP, and reaps
the group, so a descendant holding captured output can no longer keep the
caller waiting past the bound on a host without timeout.

The Claude Stop auto-arm header records that Claude drops the exit 2 of a hook
it terminated at the configured timeout, re-measured on Claude Code 2.1.281.

* fix(bin): state that fm_exec_timed cannot reach a descendant in its own process group

Live runs of real Claude and Pi engine turns under the bound showed both CLIs
start every tool command in a process group of its own, so those processes end
through the engine's own TERM handling rather than the group signal or reap.
Also clears the new timeout test's ShellCheck findings.

* no-mistakes(document): Clarify cross-harness lease documentation
…henguid#2648)

* feat(bin): make the ship-branch prefix configurable per project

fm-brief.sh hardcoded every generated ship branch to fm/<task-id>, which
leaks that firstmate produced the branch/PR - unwanted for a third-party
public repo that does not use this tooling.

Add an optional --branch-prefix flag to fm-brief.sh (default "fm/", so
existing installs are unaffected) and teach fm-project-mode.sh - the
registry's single-owner parser - to resolve a project's optional
"branch=<prefix>" data/projects.md annotation via a new --branch-prefix
query, order-independent with the existing mode/+yolo tokens. Firstmate
resolves the override at task intake and passes it explicitly, mirroring
how --mode already works; fm-brief.sh itself never reads the registry.

An empty override resolves to a bare "<task-id>" branch rather than a
leading slash. All five previously hardcoded fm/$ID sites (branch
creation, never-push rule text, definition-of-done text, and the status
message) now render the resolved prefix consistently.

* no-mistakes(review): Wire branch-prefix intake in AGENTS.md; fix fm-merge-local.sh hardcoded fm/ prefix

* no-mistakes(document): docs: document configurable ship-branch prefix in architecture.md

* no-mistakes(review): Persist immutable branch contracts

* no-mistakes(document): Document configurable ship branch prefixes

* no-mistakes(lint): Captain: fix ShellCheck test warnings

* fix(bin): map bearings PR rows to their recorded ship branch (kunchenguid#1887)

fm-bearings-snapshot.sh keyed a PR back to its task by string-matching
the headRefName against the fm/ prefix, so any project whose branch
prefix was overridden (e.g. via kunchenguid#2648's branch=<prefix> registry
annotation) had its PRs silently drop to task "-" in the bearings
view, exactly the third fm/-assumption issue kunchenguid#1887 named alongside
fm-merge-local.sh and fm-bearings-snapshot.sh itself.

fm-fleet-snapshot.sh now surfaces each task's recorded branch=
metadata field in its JSON task rows, and fm-bearings-snapshot.sh
cross-references a PR's headRefName against those recorded branches
before falling back to the legacy fm/ prefix heuristic, so a custom
branch prefix maps a PR back to its real task.

Adds a regression test proving a PR opened against a fix/<task-id>
branch resolves to that task instead of "-"; confirmed it fails on
the prior startswith("fm/") logic and passes with this change.
ShellCheck clean; full fm-bearings-snapshot.test.sh and
fm-fleet-snapshot-view.test.sh suites pass.

* fix(ci): align lint arithmetic-looking assignment and stale Bearings snapshot count

- Quote the --branch-prefix want_value assignment in fm-brief.sh, fm-promote.sh,
  and fm-spawn.sh so ShellCheck SC2100 no longer misreads the plain string
  'branch-prefix' as arithmetic shorthand.
- Bump the Stock macOS Bash snapshot job's hardcoded Bearings test-count
  assertion from 59 to 60: this PR added a Bearings test, so the count was
  stale, not the feature.

* no-mistakes(review): fix(bin): honor recorded ship branch in relaunch and review-diff

* no-mistakes(document): docs: complete branch-prefix flag in brief and promote headers

* fix(lint): quote branch-prefix parser token; drop unused BRANCH_Q after rebase

* no-mistakes(review): Restore %q branch escaping in promotion instructions with regression test

* no-mistakes(document): document recorded ship branch and prefix flag

fm-review-diff.sh's header is the owner of its branch-resolution
contract; it still described only the legacy local-branch behavior
after the change made review-diff honor state/<id>.meta's recorded
ship branch. README's feature bullet enumerates the registry's
optional flags and was missing the new branch=<prefix> override.

* no-mistakes(lint): Silence SC2016 on intentional single-quoted sed expression

* no-mistakes(review): address branch-prefix review findings in DoD and project-mode

* no-mistakes(test): branch-prefix suites pass under tasks-axi 0.2.6; environment-only failure

* no-mistakes(document): purge stale fm/ branch naming from docs and headers

* fix(test): assert the merged epoch status wording in the branch-prefix override test

The rebase resolution of tests/fm-brief.test.sh kept the branch's
pre-merge \`done: ready in branch ...\` assertion while the merged
fm-dod-lib.sh (carrying main's epoch-stamped status line) renders
\`done [at=<epoch>]: ready in branch ...\`. Align the assertion so the
override-consistency test matches the behavior it verifies.

* no-mistakes(review): Address remaining branch-prefix findings in four bin scripts

* no-mistakes(test): skip real-tasks-axi tests below the repo's 0.2.6 floor

* no-mistakes(document): document spawn's branch-prefix registry deviation notice
…d per-rule confidence floors (kunchenguid#5478)

* feat(bin): send dispatch resolver only the brief's task sections

* Sent Jev only the scaffolded Captain's intent and Firstmate spec
  sections, falling back to the whole brief when neither heading is
  present, so the identical setup, rules, and definition-of-done
  boilerplate no longer reads as a signal about the task
* Added an optional per-rule min_confidence that replaces the global 0.6
  floor for that rule; a picked rule below its own floor falls to the most
  probable other option that clears its floor, or returns ambiguous
* Kept files with no declared floor on the exact previous behavior and
  kept the model blind to the new field
* Recorded the live old-versus-new comparison over scaffolded fixtures

* no-mistakes(test): stop sending ship delivery mode to jev, keep scout tag

* no-mistakes(document): docs: list shared brief heading lib in scripts inventory
* feat(bin): supervision host core behind config/supervision-host

Add the supervision host (bin/fm-supervision-host.sh): beside a Claude
primary it owns the watcher cycle for the Stop auto-arm and, while the
away-posture record exists, hands each wake to a bounded headless Claude
engine session that runs the supervision branch's contract - the same
generated prompt, row eligibility, wake grant, per-actor drain, outcome
store, leases, and away relocation the Pi branch uses. Attended wakes pass
straight to main. Every path that cannot finish a wake hands it to main
with a supervision-host line; the park ends itself before the Stop hook
timeout with a cycle-boundary wake.

- bin/fm-supervision-engine-lib.sh: opt-in parse, verified engines
  (claude, default sonnet), one bounded engine turn, and a reap of engine
  tool processes that sit in their own process groups.
- bin/fm-branch-report.sh: the command twin of fm_branch_report, scoped
  to the tasks the current host turn claimed.
- bin/fm-branch-dispatch.mjs: command entry to the Pi dispatch module, so
  eligibility and the wake prompt have one owner.
- bin/fm-claude-stop-autoarm.sh runs the host in the arm's place when
  config/supervision-host exists; nothing changes without the file.

* fix(bin): relay a host turn's outcomes when the captain returns mid-turn, and log per-turn engine cost

Live validation found two supervision host gaps. A captain who returns while
an engine turn is running gets a return brief rendered before that turn's
outcomes exist, so the host now hands the close to main with those outcomes.
Claude reports a resumed conversation's running cost, so the engine lib now
derives each turn's cost from the total the host records, and the host log
records every close's destination.

* fix(bin): bound the startup-network worker's lock waits by its budget

Fixes kunchenguid#5377

The deferred startup network worker bounded its sweeps with a stage budget but
took the publish lock and the fleet-lock lease with an unbounded wait, so a live
holder of that lock kept the detached worker alive for hours past its timeout
with its output discarded at the end. Every wait now goes through the bounded
acquire and shares the remaining stage or delivery budget; a lock a live process
still holds at the deadline ends the worker with a failed record naming the
holder and the rerun command, and a wake so the result surfaces.

* fix(bin): keep the ps fallback identity independent of terminal width

fm_pid_identity's portable fallback read the command column at the
ambient COLUMNS width, so an identity recorded from a wide shell never
matched the one recomputed inside a narrow hook and the continuity guard
denied every fleet command. Pass -ww so the column is never cut.

Fixes kunchenguid#799

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed CI failure in Behavior portable serial 4. Root cause: the -ww flag added in commit ac7ab5d to fm_pid_identity (bin/fm-wake-lib.sh) shifted the ps argv so $1 became -ww instead of -p, breaking the positional fake-ps fixtures in tests/fm-procevent.test.sh (lines 2736, 3571) which then fell through to real ps and failed the fm-procevent test. Fix (already applied in the worktree, matching the authoritative user instruction exactly): replaced -ww with a COLUMNS=10000 environment pin so the call is COLUMNS=10000 LC_ALL=C ps -p "$pid" -o lstart= -o command=, mirroring fm_pending_reply_pid_identity in bin/fm-pending-reply-lib.sh:982. argv is back to -p PID -o lstart= -o command=, so the fixtures match again with no fixture edits. Comments above the call in bin/fm-wake-lib.sh and in test_pid_identity_is_terminal_width_invariant (tests/fm-watcher-lock.test.sh) now describe the COLUMNS pin instead of -ww; the regression test still asserts narrow-vs-wide byte equality and the full command. Verified: the terminal-width-invariant regression test passes. The only local not-ok results were flaky, run-varying timing tests (procevent launch/claim confirmation, listener reparenting) that differ each run and are unrelated to the ps argv change
…thorized intent (kunchenguid#5526)

Fixes kunchenguid#3608

When a scout is promoted to a ship, the captain's authorized intent is
extracted from a legacy `# Task` body by matching `Captain:` and `[captain]`
lines anywhere in the body, including inside fenced code blocks and indented
examples, while the heading reader already tracks fences. A fenced `Captain:`
example therefore passed the provenance gate and became the ship contract's
intent while the real ask was dropped.

Make the captain-words extractor fence-aware like the heading reader: a line
inside a ``` or ~~~ fenced block, or indented four spaces or a tab, is never a
marked line. The promotion and spawn callers need no change. The regression
test covers both the extractor and the promotion provenance gate refusing a
brief whose only Captain lines are fenced or indented examples.
…riefs (kunchenguid#2868)

* fix(bin): forbid administering the shared worktree pool in crewmate briefs

A crewmate ran a `git worktree remove` loop over the treehouse pool its own
worktree came from, destroying five worktrees - four belonging to tasks that
were running mid-pipeline. The generated brief's rule 2, "stay inside this
worktree; modify nothing outside it", is a rule about files: removing a
worktree is administration of shared state, not an edit outside a directory,
so the sentence never reached the act. The worker satisfied its brief
completely.

Rule 7 already named one piece of shared infrastructure - the no-mistakes
daemon, one instance serving every lane - with the reason stated plainly. The
worktree pool is the same class of thing and was unnamed.

Fold the pool into that existing rule rather than adding a second warning:
state the constraint around the act (create, remove, return, prune, move,
reassign a worktree or pool slot; write into a sibling slot), keep concrete
commands as examples rather than as the definition so no single provider is
pinned, and give the prohibition a real exit through `blocked:`.

The rule is emitted from one shared string interpolated into both crewmate
scaffolds, so the ship and scout copies cannot drift apart. The secondmate
charter deliberately omits it: that home runs its own fleet and legitimately
allocates and returns slots for its own crewmates.

* fix(bin): refuse tasks-axi add --start so In flight always has a dispatch record

Fixes kunchenguid#4753

Dispatch (bin/fm-spawn.sh) is the only path that moves a backlog row to
In flight, because it creates the task record, status file, and inbox
that go with the row. A row hand-placed there through the wrapper's
`add --start` had none of those, and nothing later noticed, so the
live-task count included work nobody was doing. The wrapper now refuses
`add --start` (exit 2) and names the dispatch path; plain `add` and
`start <id>` pass through unchanged, and the lifecycle transitions
address tasks-axi directly so dispatch is unaffected.

The issue's other half, a reconcile sweep in bin/fm-inactive-reconcile.sh
that notices an In flight row with no task record, is left as is; this
change closes the only path that creates such a row.

* feat(bin): run the supervision host beside the other non-Pi primaries while away

Cursor's stop-hook park, the OpenCode plugin, the omp watch extension, Grok's
model-owned background arm, and Codex's foreground checkpoint now run
bin/fm-supervision-host.sh in the watcher arm's place when the home opted in
with config/supervision-host, so the host's Claude engine takes away-posture
wakes beside those primaries exactly as it does beside Claude. Without the
file nothing changes.

- The host streams its first cycle's status line, accepts --restart and the
  owner's predecessor arm for its first cycle, and prints each exit in one
  write, so owners that wait for arm readiness and restart their own
  successor (OpenCode, omp) keep their handling handoff.
- Codex's checkpoint passes its bound to the host as the park boundary,
  raises it to FM_CODEX_WATCH_CHECKPOINT_AWAY (3600 s) while the away record
  exists, and lets an engine turn that starts before the bound finish after
  it (FM_SUPERVISION_HOST_PARK_LIMIT).
- /afk launches no away daemon on an opted-in home of those harnesses and
  says so at entry when the file selects no engine for that primary.
- Session start renders the host protocol for each arm owner, and Grok's
  arm command becomes the host.

* fix(bin): keep the watcher-down banner away from the supervision branch actor

A supervision host's engine turn runs guarded commands after its successor
watcher cycle may already have closed on a newer wake, so the guard showed it
the watcher-down banner with the primary's repair line. Under a Codex primary
pin that line is the checkpoint, and a live Codex lab run showed the away
session running it mid-turn (the nested host stood down on its ownership
check). The branch actor never owns watcher continuity, so the banner, its
reminder, and the episode state now leave that actor out, as the queued-wake
warning already does.

The lint telemetry fixture counts bin/fm-afk-launch.sh's source directives,
which the host engine note raised from four to five.

* fix(bin): queue away-session outcomes recorded after the return for main

A Cursor park superseded by the captain's return stops its host as the
engine turn ends, so the host's own handoff of that turn's outcomes was
never printed and the outcomes never reached main. The report surface now
queues every outcome it records after the away record is gone as a durable
check wake; the return owner archives the record before it reads the store,
so each outcome is in the return brief, queued, or both. A host stopped
mid-turn also removes its turn's result and error files.

The stream test now acknowledges its first close and accepts a restarted
cycle that closes on its resurface before the arm confirms it.

* fix(bin): clear a hard-killed host's turn at the next activation

A Cursor park superseded mid-turn can kill its host outright, which runs no
cleanup, so the turn's result, error, and descendant files stayed behind and
any tool process the engine started was left running. The next host's
activation now reaps the descendants that turn recorded and removes its
files. The host suite also registers its homes in a file, because
make_home runs in a command substitution, so its cleanup now stops every
host a case leaves running.

* fix(bin): leave rows that arrive after main's drain unclaimed at its acknowledgement

Main's acknowledgement re-claimed every unreserved queued row, including one
that arrived after the drain above the acknowledged cutoff. That row stayed
main's without ever being shown to it, so while away the supervision host
refused every later wake that included it and handed each back to main until
main drained again. The acknowledgement now claims only unreserved rows at or
below its cutoff.

* feat(bin): auto-relaunch dead persistent secondmates during ordinary supervision

A persistent secondmate whose primary agent exits mid-session previously
stayed down until the next session-start liveness sweep. Extract the
sweep's probe/classify/relaunch mechanics into a shared library and drive
the same contract from a cadence-gated watcher tick, so a positively dead
or missing endpoint is relaunched through the guarded spawn path within a
poll cycle instead of an hour later.

Only the recovery-grade `dead` and `missing` verdicts authorize relaunch;
ambiguous, unreadable, unverified, and unreachable-remote reads stay
fail-closed and a remote route is never replaced by a local endpoint.
Each relaunch emits exactly one `check` wake and appends to a durable
per-mate ledger; a mate exceeding the bounded attempt budget is parked
behind a marker until a live probe rearms it. A per-mate liveness lock
serializes the tick against a concurrent session-start sweep.

…cycle ends (kunchenguid#5550)

* fix(bin): start a successor when the Claude Stop-hook arm's attached cycle ends

Fixes kunchenguid#2381

When the Claude Stop hook's foreground arm attached to a peer watcher cycle
and that cycle ended, the arm reported the delivered wake and the hook exited
2 without starting a successor, so the handling turn ran with no watcher.
Pi, omp, and OpenCode start the next arm before delivering the wake and pass
the closed arm's pid as FM_WATCH_PREDECESSOR_ARM_PID; the Claude hook never
passed that predecessor identity.

The hook now runs its arm as a tracked child it waits on, so it holds that
arm's pid, and after any actionable close starts one handling-successor
bin/fm-watch-arm.sh with the closed arm's pid as FM_WATCH_PREDECESSOR_ARM_PID.
The successor is launched the one way a process outlives a Claude hook's
exit-2 rewake (nohup, detached stdio, own process group, the shape
bin/fm-startup-network.sh already uses); the hook waits for its status line
and adds one banner line when no live watcher was confirmed, never withholding
the wake. The supervision-host path is unchanged, as is the arm wrapper.

The regression test drives the real hook against an arm fixture whose attached
peer cycle ends: it fails on the previous tip because no successor starts, and
now asserts the successor names the closed arm as its predecessor and outlives
the rewake. A second case pins the unconfirmed-successor banner line.
docs/watcher-continuity.md no longer records the Claude asymmetry.

* no-mistakes(ci): Serial-4 failure was a real regression: tests/fm-session-lock-ancestry.test.sh asserts exact cumulative arm-invocation counts while driving the real fm-claude-stop-autoarm.sh hook against a stubbed fm-watch-arm.sh. This PR makes the hook start a handling successor after an actionable close, so every owned actionable phase now records TWO arm invocations (foreground arm + successor) instead of one, breaking "healthy chain: expected 1 arm(s), got 2". Fixed by updating the cumulative expectations to match the new behavior: owned phases 1/2/6 -> 2/4/6, foreign carry phases 3/4/5 -> 4, plus a comment explaining the +2-per-owned-phase model. Verified: phase-1 (the CI failure point) now passes on every run, syntax checks clean, and sibling arm-count tests (fm-claude-stop-autoarm.test.sh, fm-cursor-primary, fm-turnend-guard) pass unchanged. The only remaining local not-ok is a WSL-only environmental artifact (orphan reparents to a subreaper, not PID 1) that passes on the CI runner. Parallel-1 failure is an unrelated flake: its 11 tests (fm-lint, fm-pr-merge, fm-test-run, fm-cd-pretool-check, fm-pi-primary-types, fm-grok-harness, fm-composer-lib, fm-review-diff, fm-tmux-submit-busy, fm-composer-ghost, fm-brief) do not include fm-session-lock-ancestry and none reads any file this PR touches; all pass locally.

I deleted that assignment. It was the only `reply_id` in the file. ShellCheck is now clean on both test files. Behavior portable serial 4: the failing test was tests/fm-bearings-board.test.sh, in the check "registration consumed its answer before the any-origin binding existed". I reproduced it locally: the hold was still `state: queued` when the test checked it. - What must hold: the test's check that the hold is closed must run after the listener has captured the answer. - Why it broke: the test used a stand-in adapter that ran `fm-procevent.sh start` in the foreground after `arm`, so capture finished before build returned. On this branch, `arm` starts the listener itself in the background, so the real listener captures the answer and closes the hold a moment after build returns. - Fix: removed the now-redundant stand-in adapter, the copied runtime directory, and its extra environment variables. The test now runs the real build through the existing `run_board` helper and waits up to about 10s for the hold to reach `state: done`. The checks that follow are unchanged: `Resolution mode: answered` and the any-origin binding. - Other tests: this was the only test in the file that stood in for the adapter this way. The shard's other pure-contract-unit test (tests/fm-trace-context-lib.test.sh) passed unchanged.

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed the failing check (Behavior portable serial 7) with a test-only change to the stall test in tests/fm-remote-job.test.sh. Product code is unchanged; no other test changed. Cause: after the decoy dies, both workers run the same check-exists, read, delete sequence on the job records. On the CI runner the replacement deleted a record between the ousted worker's check and its read. The ousted worker exited 125, and because the file runs under set -e the unguarded `wait` ended the test with 125. The exit trap then killed the replacement, which produced the "Killed" line. Reproduction: a temporary 0.3 s delay between the check and the read, applied to the ousted worker only, made the committed test fail exactly as in CI (exit 125 and the "Killed" line). The new test passed with the same delay. The delay is reverted, along with a similar debug hook that the timed-out attempt had left in bin/fm-remote-job-worker.sh. Test changes: - The replacement is frozen (and confirmed stopped) before the decoy is killed and resumed only after the ousted worker exits, so only one worker touches the job records at a time. - The ousted worker is stopped only once its quarantine exists and its lane is reaped, which places it inside its stop loop. - Every fixed poll loop is now a wait on a named condition with a 30 s deadline and an explicit failure message. Exit detection also handles zombies. - The exit trap kills and waits for the decoy and both workers on every path. - A non-zero exit from the ousted worker now fails with its exit code and stderr instead of silently ending the file. The test still proves that the resumed ousted worker exits 0 and leaves the replacement's lock, quarantine contents and quarantine inode unchanged. Verification: the full test file passed four times on its own and three times under nice -n 10 with four busy-loop CPU hogs; bin/fm-lint.sh passes. Changes are not committed

* no-mistakes(ci): I fixed the failing check (Behavior portable serial 7) by changing only the stall test in tests/fm-remote-job.test.sh. Product code is unchanged. **What failed:** "an ousted worker in shutdown leaves the replacement quarantine untouched" failed on CI with the ousted worker exiting 125 ("could not stop the active command tree"). **Why:** during shutdown, the worker retries the still-running decoy command group a fixed 100 times, 0.01 s apart, then gives up and exits 125. The test tried to freeze the worker partway through those retries by sending SIGSTOP from outside. On a slow runner the retries ran out before the stop arrived, so the worker had already given up. The invariant is that the test must hold the ousted worker inside that retry loop until the replacement owns the lock. That was the only place the test depended on timing. The other waits already watch for a named state change with a 30 s deadline. **Fix:** - The ousted worker now starts with a small `sleep` wrapper at the front of its PATH, and the SIGSTOP race is gone. - The wrapper only holds a `sleep` called directly by that worker's own process (it checks its parent pid against a hold file) while its quarantine file exists. - The only such `sleep` is the first retry in the shutdown stop loop, so the worker waits there as long as needed. - The wrapper writes a marker when it starts holding. The test waits for that marker, then hands the lock to the replacement, freezes the replacement, and kills the decoy. - The test releases the worker by deleting the hold file. Deleting the whole temp directory also releases it, so a failed run cannot leave the wrapper looping. - A process leak: the test overwrites the job's command-group record with the decoy, so no worker ever stopped the job's real command. `fm-hold-job.sh` and its `sleep 30` stayed running for up to 30 s after the test. The test now records that group before overwriting it and kills it at the end of the test and in the exit cleanup. - The test still asserts the same things: the ousted worker exits 0, and the replacement's lock, quarantine contents and quarantine inode are unchanged. **Verification:** - The full file passed twice on its own, twice under `nice -n 10` with six busy-loop CPU hogs, and twice more after the leak fix. - `pgrep` found no leftover processes afterwards. - With the worker from just before the fix commit (cf45cb6^), the test still fails with "the ousted worker wrote or cleared the replacement quarantine during shutdown", so it still proves the fix. - `bin/fm-lint.sh` passes. - I did not reproduce the CI failure locally. The cause comes from the fixed retry limit and the CI error message. The changes are not committed

* no-mistakes(ci): I changed only the stall test ("an ousted worker in shutdown leaves the replacement quarantine untouched") in tests/fm-remote-job.test.sh. Product code is unchanged, and so is every other test. **Invariant:** the pid written to the job's group record must be a process-group leader whose group dies when that one process is killed. Otherwise the worker's bounded stop loop never sees the group die, gives up, and exits 125 ("could not stop the active command tree") before it reaches the lost-ownership exit. The decoy is the only place in this test that depends on this. **Fix:** - The decoy used to be `set -m; sleep 30 &`. It now starts as `perl -MPOSIX=setsid -e 'setsid() >= 0 or exit 1; exec @argv' sleep 30 &`, which gets its own session and group without shell job control. tests/fm-procevent.test.sh already uses the same idiom. - The test now waits, with the file's usual 30 s deadline and a named failure, until `ps -o pgid=` of the decoy equals its pid before writing it into the group record. This way the worker can never read the record before `setsid` has run. - The existing steps are unchanged: the test kills the decoy, reaps it with `wait` before releasing the hold file, and the exit trap still kills and reaps the decoy and both workers. - The assertions are unchanged: the ousted worker exits 0, and the replacement's lock pid, quarantine text and quarantine inode stay the same. **Cleanup:** I reverted a debug `printf` hook that the timed-out previous attempt had left in bin/fm-remote-job-worker.sh, and deleted its untracked `.tmp-repro/` directory. Neither was committed. **Verification:** - The full tests/fm-remote-job.test.sh passed twice normally and once under `setsid -w` with stdin from /dev/null (no controlling terminal). - `bin/fm-lint.sh` passes. - No leftover `sleep 30` processes afterwards. **Not reproduced:** I could not reproduce the CI failure locally. On this host `set -m` made the decoy its own group leader even without a controlling terminal, so the cause on the runner is not confirmed. The change removes the test's reliance on shell job control, as the user asked. Changes are not committed

* no-mistakes(ci): I changed only the stall test ("an ousted worker in shutdown leaves the replacement quarantine untouched") in tests/fm-remote-job.test.sh. Product code is unchanged, and so is every other test. **Invariant:** the group record the ousted worker checks in its stop loop must stay the job's own command group, and the test must stop that group before it releases the hold. Otherwise the bounded retry keeps seeing a live group, gives up, and exits 125 ("could not stop the active command tree") before it reaches the lost-ownership exit. The test overwrote this record in one place (the decoy) and stopped the group in one place (killing the decoy); both are changed. **Fix:** - I removed the setsid decoy and the overwrite of `.claim/group`. The record keeps the job's real command group, which the test still saves as `STALL_JOB_GROUP`. - The two-line `group_start` stays. It is still needed: without it the worker kills the real group on its first pass, before the replacement takes over, so the hold would never matter. - The `sleep` wrapper that holds the worker at its first stop-loop retry is unchanged. - After the replacement owns the lock, its quarantine is planted and it is frozen, the test runs `kill -KILL -- -$STALL_JOB_GROUP`. It then waits, with the file's usual 30 s deadline and a named failure, until `kill -0` on the group fails. Only then does it remove the hold file. The worker therefore always sees its own command already stopped and never races its retry budget. - The exit trap still kills the saved command group if the test fails. It can't `wait` on that group because the group is not a child of the test shell. The decoy variable and its cleanup entry are gone. - The assertions are unchanged: the ousted worker exits 0, and the replacement's lock pid, quarantine text and quarantine inode stay the same. **Verification:** - The full tests/fm-remote-job.test.sh passed twice normally. - It passed once under `setsid -w` with stdin from /dev/null (no controlling terminal). - It passed once under `nice -n 10` with six busy-loop CPU hogs. - With the worker from before the fix (cf45cb6^), the test still fails with "the ousted worker wrote or cleared the replacement quarantine during shutdown", so it still proves the fix. - No `fm-hold-job` or `sleep 30` processes were left afterwards. - `bin/fm-lint.sh` passes. **Not reproduced:** I couldn't reproduce the CI failure locally; the decoy version also passed on this host. So I can't confirm why the decoy group stayed alive on the runner. The new wait turns any leftover live group into a clear named failure instead of an exit 125. The changes are not committed

ship brief's project-memory section and AGENTS.md section 6 previously invited
workers to record durable knowledge, which let project AGENTS.md files accrete
detail the codebase or README already carries. Workers now edit only to fix
factually wrong content - including content their own change made wrong - and
fm-ensure-agents-md.sh runs only alongside such a correction. Stow no longer
routes project-memory additions through ship tasks, and the generated skeleton
no longer invites discovery-driven additions.

…enguid#5635)

* fix(bin): let gate agents drive lifecycle against marked lab homes

Part 2 of the kunchenguid#5615 split. A no-mistakes gate agent runs inside a
checkout carrying the fleet-captain identity, so fm-gate-refuse-lib
refuses fleet mutation on the gate signal. That refusal was absolute,
which kept gate validation from ever exercising the real lifecycle.

Stamp a disposable lab FM_HOME with a .fm-lab-home marker file that
only bin/fm-lab-home.sh writes, and only onto a fresh empty dir, so
no call path can mark a populated real home. fm_refuse_if_gate_agent
then permits lifecycle only when FM_HOME carries the marker and is
driven through its stock layout - any FM_*_OVERRIDE relocation stays
refused so part of the "lab" cannot be split back onto the real fleet.
The threat model is a confused agent touching the real fleet, not
deliberate forgery, so the marker is a plain token file rather than a
bound record. FM_GATE_REFUSE_BYPASS is unchanged: it still serves the
test harness, which cannot mark hundreds of temp homes.

Teardown's slot-ownership scan compared state-dir paths textually
while fm_firstmate_root_home canonicalizes, so a lab home under a
symlinked TMPDIR scanned its own record twice and self-collided;
compare file identity (-ef) instead.

…ad of refusing every re-arm (kunchenguid#5594)

* fix(bin): replace a watcher whose beacon stalls past a hard bound instead of refusing every re-arm

A fleet watcher that is alive but whose liveness beacon has gone stale could
never be replaced: every re-arm was refused because the lock holder was a live
pid, and the holder was never evicted because it was not dead. Add
FM_WATCHER_STALL_BOUND (default 3x the stale grace): below it the refusal is
unchanged; at or past it the arm re-verifies the holder against the lock's
recorded identity, sends TERM, waits boundedly, and takes the lock the normal
way, ledgering a stalled-holder-replaced row. A holder that survives TERM keeps
the old refusal.

* fix(pi): hide queued Firstmate notifications under Calm only when the session can keep them

Calm now keeps authenticated Firstmate operational inputs out of Pi's queued-message
listing, but only after proving the live session exposes every member needed to keep
them across Escape. A session missing any of them keeps stock rows and Escape and shows
one generic warning. Escape and the dequeue key return only captain-authored messages to
the editor and re-queue hidden notifications in order; after an abort that kept any in
Pi's agent queue, the adapter starts the delivery turn itself because Pi 0.87.1 does not
continue an aborted run. Compaction-held notifications stay with Pi's compaction flush and
never start or announce a turn.

* fix(bin): stage remote home clones before publishing them

A remote home provision cloned the code root directly into the public
FM_HOME path while rollback() claimed rm -rf of that same path on any
failure. Bash defers trapped signals past a foreground child, but any
other cleanup or lifecycle path that removes the home directory races
the live clone's object copy, producing the CI flake "fatal: failed to
copy file to .../.git/objects/...: No such file or directory".

Clone into a private staging directory beside the home and publish with
an atomic rename once complete, so no cleanup can remove a directory a
live clone is still writing; a home that appears mid-provision now dies
cleanly instead of inheriting torn state. The regression coverage holds
a real clone mid-copy, removes the public path, and requires the
provision to finish and publish intact.

* fix(control): keep a relaunched Pi worker's herdr pane status authority alive

Defect: after `bin/fm-control.sh <id> relaunch` (observed live on a herdr
Pi crewmate whose pane read idle while it ran its validation pipeline),
the pane froze at whatever its previous agent had last reported.

Cause, measured on herdr 0.9.1 against a real Pi: a pane has one status
authority, and for Pi with its integration installed that authority is
the lifecycle hooks, so herdr also skips screen detection for the pane.
In the crew shape the registration outlives its agent process (upstream
issue kunchenguid#4115; docs/herdr-backend.md "Restart and liveness behavior"), and
herdr applies only reports carrying the session identity it bound. A
replacement started fresh in that pane reports a NEW session, so its
state reports are ignored and the pane stays frozen. Nothing from
outside repairs it: `pane report-agent-session` and `pane report-agent`
for `herdr:pi` are accepted (rc=0) without being applied unless the
reporter is the registered pane agent, and `pane release-agent` on the
stale record changes nothing.

Fix: a relaunch preserves the binding instead of fighting it. The launch
owner reads the session reference the endpoint's own runtime recorded
(`fm_backend_herdr_pane_agent_session_ref`) and passes it back as Pi's
own `--session <path-or-id>` (`relaunch_resume_args`;
`fm_control_relaunch_resume_flag` owns which adapters and which
registered-agent labels qualify). That is the same reference herdr
itself resumes Pi panes with after a server restart, and the resumed
session's reports land again, which the live check confirmed: the pane
returned to working while the replacement worked and idle when it
settled, on the same session identity.

Safety: relaunch-only (a fresh spawn binds nothing), herdr-only (the one
adapter that records a per-pane session), Pi-family only, and only when
the registration's own agent label matches - so no other adapter's
conversation can be handed to a Pi launch. An unreadable, missing, or
malformed reference degrades to exactly the fresh-session launch that
existed before. No lifecycle, liveness, isolation, or merge guard is
touched, and an empty result leaves every non-Pi launch byte-identical.
`resume` remains a refused verb; docs/agent-control.md and the
harness-adapters references are corrected where they claimed Pi had no
verified resume form at all.

Main has been red since fm-pr-check.sh began refusing to arm a merge poll
on a kind=secondmate record (kunchenguid#5696): the relaunch-ordering case in
tests/fm-remote-secondmate-relaunch.test.sh armed its fixture through that
entry point and could no longer be set up.

The ordering guarantee still matters: a secondmate record armed before the
refusal can legitimately carry a trailing pr=/pr_head= identity block until
the watcher retires it, and fm-remote-secondmate-relaunch.sh must still keep
that block last when republishing harness/model/effort. Seed the fixture the
way such a record was really written - pr= appended last to the meta, then
the poll artifacts published through the same
fm_pr_poll_prepare/fm_pr_poll_publish_prepared pair fm-pr-check.sh uses, a
pattern tests/fm-pr-check-security.test.sh already follows - and drop the
now-unused fake gh fixture. The kunchenguid#5696 refusal itself stays pinned by the
security suite's secondmate-record case.

* feat: run attended supervision on the host for Claude and Cursor

On a home opted into config/supervision-host with a Claude or Cursor
primary, the supervision host now takes the attended wakes the Pi branch
would take: routine outcomes stay off main, and a captain outcome wakes
main once with a branch-outcome line and waits in the drain's new
BRANCH OUTCOMES section until main acknowledges it with mark-processed.

- The offer rule moves into branchOfferForWake, shared by the Pi watcher
  and the host through bin/fm-branch-dispatch.mjs offer.
- The host feeds the dialog mirror at the head of each attended wake and
  passes a close through unchanged when it is main-only, the engine or a
  tool is missing, the primary has no verified mirror, the main session
  cannot be identified, or the session is cooling down.
- The drain presents captain outcomes first, one line per task, never
  behind older routine outcomes, and collapses routine overflow into a
  count that is marked read.
- The return advances the store's read cursor through the away window
  once the brief has rendered, so the first drain does not replay it.
- The branch prompt's mirror wording is host-neutral, and the rule to
  report what main must act on as captain, once per unchanged situation,
  applies only to the attended posture on the host.

The voice status reader in bin/fm_voice_records.py reports each
worker's state from the last non-blank line of its status log. When a
worker appends a status line and then a line of plain prose, the
reader reported "note" with the prose line instead of the declared
state, diverging from bin/fm-classify-lib.sh's shell scan.

Scan back through the tail for the newest line whose prefix is a
single lowercase verb-shaped word (letters and hyphens), and report
that event's verb instead of always taking the last line. An
unrecognised verb-shaped prefix still reports "note" rather than
letting an earlier recognised line answer for it, and free text with
no colon is skipped as prose. When the tail holds no such event, the
last line is reported exactly as before.

…5770)

* fix(bin): bound each lint root in its own ShellCheck process

CI job "Lint 1" died twice at about ten minutes because the two shard
workers each packed about 110 canonical roots into one unbounded ShellCheck
process, and a byte-weight rebalance moved the analysis-heavy fm-watch.sh
into a partition with other heavy roots, so the pair outgrew the 16 GiB
runner before anything could name a culprit.

Run one canonical root per ShellCheck process under an enforced envelope:
a wall deadline plus terminate-then-kill grace via the shared
fm-timeout-lib.sh watchdog, and a per-root rlimit spec applied inside the
child before exec (default a 4 GiB address-space cap, so two workers stay
inside a 16 GiB job with headroom). A root that exceeds the envelope fails
by name with a recorded reason - timeout, memory, signal, or
limit-unavailable - instead of taking the runner down. The per-root
watchdog runs in its own process group so the owner's group sweep cannot
orphan the bounded subtree, and fm_exec_timed now starts the same
escalation when its parent dies before it can be signalled.
FM_LINT_REQUIRE_BOUNDS=1, set in CI, refuses the run outright when a
configured bound cannot be enforced on the host rather than lint uncapped.
Each root's begin/end, reason, duration, and peak RSS stream to stderr in
partition mode and append to a retained <telemetry>.roots.tsv sidecar
uploaded beside the partition telemetry.

Coverage is unchanged: pinned ShellCheck 0.11.0, --norc, --external-sources
full analysis, complete and disjoint partition inventory, workflow lint,
and the backend-purity check, with byte-identical diagnostics across
jobs=1/2 proven by tests/fm-lint.test.sh.

* fix(bin): fail closed on unenforceable lint bounds and size the cap

Required-bounds mode (FM_LINT_REQUIRE_BOUNDS=1, set by CI) now refuses the
run with named errors before any root starts: a missing fm-timeout-lib.sh,
a watchdog that cannot actually bound a probe command, or a host that
rejects the address-space limit all stop the run rather than lint uncapped.
The generalized FM_LINT_ROOT_RLIMITS flag:value interface is replaced by a
single FM_LINT_ROOT_MEMORY_KIB, and the roots sidecar and telemetry record
the run's final exit status after backend-purity and workflow checks
instead of the pre-check lint status.

The default cap is 6 GiB of address space per root, not 4 GiB: ulimit -v
bounds virtual address space rather than resident memory, and ShellCheck's
GHC runtime keeps roughly a third of that space as reservation, so 6 GiB
yields about a 4 GiB working heap budget. A Linux measurement during this
change showed eleven real canonical roots running out of memory under the
earlier 4 GiB cap while the largest passing root peaked near 2.8 GiB
resident; two 6 GiB roots plus runner overhead still fit the 16 GiB job.
Roots that still exceed the cap keep failing by name, and the sidecar's
per-root peak RSS keeps roots approaching the budget visible.

tests/fm-lint.test.sh now proves the memory primitive where it can be
proven: on hosts that accept ulimit -v a perl allocator is refused under a
256 MiB limit and reported by name as a memory death, the pinned ShellCheck
lints a small file under the configured cap and is named when a far smaller
cap binds it, and a watchdog-less copy refuses under REQUIRE_BOUNDS; the
bounded cases skip on macOS, which cannot enforce the address-space limit.

* fix(bin): bound the watcher cleanup marker-lock wait

tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh intermittently failed serial CI shard 1
with "watcher pid <pid> did not exit within 10s of TERM". The watcher
had processed the TERM and was inside watcher_cleanup, where the
recovery-marker publish waits on state/.watcher-down.lock through an
unbounded fm_lock_acquire_wait. A live foreign holder of that lock
leaves the TERM'd watcher spinning in its own EXIT trap until the lock
frees or a second signal short-circuits the trap.

fm_recovery_transition now takes an optional bound and both
release-lock paths plus publish honour it through a new in-process
fm_lock_acquire_wait_max. watcher_cleanup passes
FM_WATCHER_CLEANUP_LOCK_BOUND (default 2s); on timeout the publish is
skipped, the singleton stays behind as ordinary dead-pid evidence, and

* test: stop the leaked unreachable watcher before remote e2e cleanup

The remote secondmate lifecycle e2e backgrounded fm-watch.sh through the
remote_env shell function, so $! named the function's subshell rather than
the watcher. Killing that subshell left the unreachable-leg watcher running,
and its one-second liveness probe kept invoking the fake ssh, which rewrites
ssh.count in the temp root. When a probe landed while the EXIT trap was
removing the root, rm failed with "Directory not empty" after every
assertion had passed.

Exec the watcher from the backgrounded function so the recorded pid is the
watcher itself, and assert the stopped watcher stops probing and writing its
state. Cleanup also stops a watcher left running by a failed assertion and
removes the root through fm_test_remove_tree, so a run that fails before
retirement does not strand the read-only spawn hooks directory.

* fix: route second-mate signal wakes by their new status span

A second mate's status log is a shared channel carrying many independently
keyed decisions, so judging its signal rows by every decision still open in
the whole log pinned each routine update to main behind any unrelated
parked hold. scopeForUnreadWake (the one owner for Pi and the attended
supervision host) now judges a second-mate signal row by the lines presented
since the last drain, bounded by the existing status-presentation cursor:
a decision, blocked, resolution, or captain-held line, or a line declaring
the key of a still-open decision, keeps the whole row on main, and any
cursor problem falls back to the whole log. Keys are read only at the
status parser's declared positions, with readable time stamps stripped as
bin/fm-classify-lib.sh does. Single-task crewmate and stale routing are
unchanged, and stale and signal rows for one mate keep independent verdicts.

The supervision branch now treats a second mate's done and merged lines as
relayed child outcomes, and fm-teardown refuses the branch actor second-mate
retirement through the existing role-partition helper in both postures.

…extension (kunchenguid#5882)

register-extension took the extension lifecycle lock and then the source
lock, while reconcile republishing an unhandled extension result holds the
source lock and reaches the lifecycle lock through the extension host's
process-event path. Both waits are unbounded and both owners stay alive, so
the two could wait on each other forever and freeze the home's monitoring
cycle.

register-extension now takes the source lock first, matching every other
path that holds both. The lifecycle lock still spans binding resolution
through registration publication, so binding retirement stays serialized.

A new lifecycle-order section in the extension-binding suite, run in the
default aggregate, holds a re-registration inside binding resolution while
reconcile republishes that source's unhandled result and requires both to
finish within a bound.

* fix(bin): run the repository's own hooks when git -c carries the per-task hooksPath

The per-task hooks wrappers cleared only the GIT_CONFIG_COUNT override before
looking up the repository's own hooks directory. When core.hooksPath reached git
through git -c (GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS), directly or inherited by a child
process, the lookup found the wrapper directory again and exited 0, so the
repository's real hook - such as a pre-push publish guard - never ran and the
push succeeded.

The lookup now ignores GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS too, so only the repository's
config files decide its hooks directory, and a failed lookup exits nonzero
instead of skipping the hook. AI-trailer stripping is unchanged.

* feat(bin): add an optional never-send list to typed dispatch resolution

* Added config/dispatch-never-send, an optional local list of literal
  values and re: regular expressions checked against every string of
  the resolver request before it is sent to typesafe.ai
* A match, an unreadable list, or an empty or invalid pattern now stops
  the request and falls back to the off path, so firstmate dispatches
  through its existing intake; the one stderr diagnostic names at most
  the list line number and never the value
* No list, or a list with no match, leaves resolution unchanged

* no-mistakes(review): Match never-send literals across whitespace, drop regex mode

* no-mistakes(review): Inherit the never-send list into secondmate homes

* no-mistakes(ci): ci-2 (Lint 2), caused by this PR and now fixed. The rule that broke: the test script must not share shell variables with a library it sources. The new secondmate-inheritance test in tests/fm-dispatch-resolve.test.sh sourced bin/fm-config-inherit-lib.sh inside a `( ... )` subshell. That lib assigns `out`, so ShellCheck flagged every later `$out` in the test with SC2031. The subshell was the only place this PR sources that lib. The fix runs the propagation in a child shell instead (`bash -c '. "$1" && propagate_inheritable_config "$2" "$3"' _ lib from to`), so the test shell never sources the lib. `bin/fm-lint.sh tests/fm-dispatch-resolve.test.sh` now exits 0, and `bash tests/fm-dispatch-resolve.test.sh` passes. That includes the check that an inherited list is enforced in a secondmate home. ci-1 (Behavior portable serial 8), not caused by this PR, so no code change for it. The only failing test is tests/fm-remote-secondmate-relaunch.test.sh, which fails with "not ok - could not arm the PR poll fixture for the relaunch-ordering test". This PR doesn't touch that test or the code it runs. I reproduced the same failure locally on the base commit ea7c7f7. Main's own CI run on ea7c7f7 (run 36212602588) fails only this job, with the same message. The recent main runs before it also concluded failure
…or fm-control

A Pi worker on Herdr that ended its turn on `Error: Codex error: The usage
limit has been reached` could never be reclaimed: the separated composer
shape required the identity probe to report idle or done, but Herdr learns
Pi's status only from Pi's lifecycle integration, so a status that never
followed the failed turn parked at `working` (or Herdr's `unknown`
placeholder) and every lifecycle verb refused a provably empty composer.

bin/fm-composer-lib.sh now reads that fixed banner, when it is the last
non-blank row above a solid, empty Pi separator pair on a pane whose
identity names a live Pi, as proof the turn ended, and answers `empty` on
every registered status. A running Pi retitles its opening rule and
dissolves the pair, a new prompt displaces the banner, and probe-absent,
foreign, near-miss, and typed shapes keep refusing.

Verified live on pi 0.85.1 against a stub Codex endpoint; the new
live-harness-optin guard refreshes that evidence.

Fixes kunchenguid#5000.
…ooks like a pi bug, /bug sends a report to the developers." hint row directly under every error banner, which now sits between the Codex usage-limit banner and pi's separator pair. bin/fm-composer-lib.sh's _fm_composer_pi_terminal_banner_above only inspected the single last non-blank row above the pair, so this new vendor boilerplate line made it miss the banner text and misclassify the composer as 'unknown' (surfaced by the live guard test tests/fm-composer-pi-codex-banner-live-e2e.test.sh, family live-harness-optin, which runs against the actually-installed pi). Fix: the scan now tolerates at most one occurrence of that fixed hint row between the banner and the pair (new FM_COMPOSER_PI_ERROR_HINT_RE_DEFAULT / FM_COMPOSER_PI_ERROR_HINT_RE override, matching the existing override pattern for the banner regex), then still requires the row beneath it to match the exact banner text. All existing strictness is untouched: a different provider's error, a near-miss spelling, a case change, a real transcript row, two hint rows in a row, or a running pi's retitled separator still refuse. Added a byte-fixture regression to tests/fm-composer-lib.test.sh covering the new hint-line shape (empty for every stale status) plus a negative case (two hints in a row still refuses). Verified locally: tests/fm-composer-lib.test.sh and tests/fm-control.test.sh pass in full, and the live guard tests/fm-composer-pi-codex-banner-live-e2e.test.sh passes against the locally installed pi 0.85.1 (which predates the hint line), confirming no regression on the older rendering. Did not fabricate or edit docs/verification/runtime-backends.md's pi 0.87.1 evidence entry since I could not run the live guard against that exact pi version locally
