Merges kunchenguid/firstmate main into the fork with merge commits (21 commits, then 7 more that landed later), so the fork's 16 commits keep their history.

From upstream

Conflicts and resolutions

  • AGENTS.md: kept both the fork's --feature team-review intake line and upstream's --base-branch line.
  • bin/fm-spawn.sh: kept --feature, --base-branch and (second round) --herdr-resume-lock-wait in the usage line and both feature and base_branch in the preserved relaunch meta keys.
  • bin/fm-timeout-lib.sh: both sides fixed the missing BASHPID on Bash 3.2. Took upstream's mechanism (the perl watchdog compares the owner to its own PID and falls back to the shell's pre-exec parent) and dropped the fork's BASHPID/$PPID probe. The fork's set -u regression test is kept and passes on upstream's mechanism.
  • tests/fm-timeout-lib.test.sh, tests/fm-contributions.test.sh: kept both sides' tests and run lists.
  • tests/fm-remote-delta-read.test.sh: both sides rewrote the same-second rewrite test to remove load sensitivity. Took upstream's deterministic stat/shasum shim over the fork's ctime-second polling loop; the fork's vanished-log fix in bin/fm-remote-delta-read.sh is unchanged.
  • No textual conflict, noted for review: upstream refuses --base-branch for local-only spawns, while the fork's fm-merge-local.sh --onto lands local-only work onto a feature branch at merge time. They operate at different steps and coexist.

Test results

  • GitHub CI: all 18 checks green on the final head, including the real-Herdr lane (fm-backend-herdr-presentation-e2e passed there).

  • Second round locally: fm-spawn-dispatch-profile, fm-control, fm-control-relaunch, fm-wake-queue, fm-remote-reply, fm-secondmate-harness, fm-calm-pi-extension, fm-spawn-pool-base-freshen and fm-task-delivery pass.

  • bin/fm-lint.sh: clean (ShellCheck 0.11.0, actionlint 1.7.12). bin/fm-doc-audience-check.sh: ok.

  • Pass: fm-timeout-lib, fm-remote-delta-read, fm-spawn-pool-base-freshen, fm-task-delivery, fm-teardown, fm-brief, fm-dod-lib, fm-review-diff, fm-fleet-ledger, fm-lint.

  • fm-contributions: all pass except test_watcher_surfaces_new_contribution_once, which fails intermittently on a heavily loaded host (load average ~35) with a 5-second watcher bound. It fails the same way on unmodified fork main (3/3) and upstream main (2/3), so it is pre-existing and not caused by this merge.

How to test this

Prerequisites: macOS or Linux with bash, git, jq, perl, ShellCheck 0.11.0 and actionlint 1.7.12 (the versions bin/fm-lint.sh pins).

git clone https://github.com/nathanjgaul-agile/firstmate.git fm-sync && cd fm-sync
git fetch origin fm/fm-upstream-sync && git checkout fm/fm-upstream-sync
  1. Confirm both histories are present: git log --oneline --first-parent -1 shows the merge commit, and git log --oneline HEAD | grep -c '#6442\|#6028' prints 2.
  2. Lint: bin/fm-lint.sh prints the pinned versions and exits 0.
  3. Docs: bin/fm-doc-audience-check.sh prints ok.
  4. Tests for the conflicted and overlapping scripts, each printing only ok lines and exiting 0:
    for t in fm-timeout-lib fm-remote-delta-read fm-spawn-pool-base-freshen fm-task-delivery fm-teardown fm-brief fm-dod-lib fm-review-diff fm-contributions; do bash tests/$t.test.sh || echo "FAIL $t"; done
  5. Bash 3.2 check (macOS): /bin/bash tests/fm-timeout-lib.test.sh includes ok - fm_exec_timed runs under set -u on every available bash.
  6. The spawn flags from both sides appear: sed -n 4,5p bin/fm-spawn.sh lists --feature <yes|no>, --base-branch <branch> and --herdr-resume-lock-wait.

Known gap: test_watcher_surfaces_new_contribution_once in fm-contributions can fail on a heavily loaded machine, on this branch and on both parents alike; rerun it on an idle host.

* fix(composer): read a titled Claude top rule as the composer's edge

A named Claude Code session draws its title into the composer's top rule.
The strict separator predicate rejected that row, so the closing rule read
as a lower unmatched separator and an idle, empty composer classified
unknown on every cursorless backend, refusing fm-send, exit, and relaunch.

Spare a bare agent-glyph row sandwiched between a width-proven titled rule
and the screen's only unmatched separator directly below it. The strict
separator predicate, dead-shell rule, and blank-row posture are unchanged.

* fix: pre-approve Pi trust for seeded secondmate homes

Unattended first launches of Firstmate-seeded Pi secondmate homes stalled on
"Trust project folder?" until Enter. Probe --approve like --tui-mode and pass
it only for --secondmate when help advertises it (.fm-secondmate-home signal),
leaving ordinary workers and older Pi unchanged.

* no-mistakes(document): Consolidate Pi seeded-home trust documentation ownership

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed Lint 1’s unused polling counter. Diagnosed Behavior portable serial 4 as a pre-existing delta-reader test clock race; replaced timing-dependent rewrite and deletion with deterministic executable-boundary synchronization. ShellCheck, Bash syntax checks, and git diff --check passed. Delta-reader tests passed three consecutive runs; all three live Pi trust cases passed. Production behavior unchanged

* fix(lint): retry memory-bound roots without external sources

* no-mistakes(review): Make fallback tests portable and correct source-following telemetry

* no-mistakes(review): Remove committed parity fixtures and use disposable test roots

* no-mistakes(document): Document ShellCheck memory fallback and telemetry

* no-mistakes(review): Cover bounded and unbounded fallback RSS behavior

* no-mistakes(document): Correct stale lint fallback documentation

* no-mistakes(document): Correct stale lint test documentation

* no-mistakes(ci): The memory fallback (the retry without --external-sources) now gets only the time left in its root's original deadline, so it can no longer outlast the CI job. Invariant: one root's first attempt plus its fallback must fit inside a single FM_LINT_ROOT_SECONDS deadline, plus the cleanup grace. Only one site started a new deadline: the fallback call in fm_lint_run_root. The deadline is the only budget involved, because the memory limit already applies to each process separately. Changes in bin/fm-lint.sh: - fm_lint_exec_root now takes a <seconds> argument instead of always reading FM_LINT_INTERNAL_ROOT_SECS. - The first attempt passes the full deadline. - The fallback passes floor((start + deadline - now) / 1000) seconds. - When bounds are enforced and less than 1 second is left, no retry starts. fm_exec_timed rejects 0 seconds, so the retry cannot run with no time. The root keeps reason=memory, and the shard output says "no time left in its Ns deadline to retry without it". - Unbounded local runs have no deadline and behave as before. - The header comment now describes the shared deadline. Changes in tests/fm-lint.test.sh: a new test, test_memory_fallback_spends_only_the_remaining_root_deadline, runs only on hosts that can enforce bounds. It uses a 6 s deadline and 1 s grace. - Case 1: the first attempt runs 3 s and then fails with memory status 251. The test asserts one fallback ran, reported reason=timeout, and the root's recorded duration is under 7000 ms. - Case 2: the first attempt runs 5.2 s. The test asserts no fallback starts, the skip is explained, and the sidecar records memory with source-following 1. Verification: - Full `nice -n 10 bash tests/fm-lint.test.sh` passed, including the new test, in about 5 minutes. - Case 1 run against the HEAD script: the root took 9168 ms, so the under-7000 ms check fails before the fix. - `bin/fm-lint.sh bin/fm-lint.sh tests/fm-lint.test.sh` reported no findings. - The CI workflow is unchanged, so the Test step still runs only tests/fm-lint.test.sh with nice -n 10 and the 12 GiB ShellCheck limit

* Fix Pi watcher successor-gap confirmations and add extension log

Accept an already-acknowledged handling confirmation as a no-op when the
generation matches, confirm the restoration's own recovery token with a
superseded (not rejected) outcome on generation mismatch, retire an arm on
confirm failure only when the failed token names that exact pid, and record
restore attempts, readiness timeouts, and confirm results in the bounded
state/.watch-extension.log. Regression tests: already-acked no-op plus
mismatch/dead-pid/lock-mismatch rejections and the manual-restart churn
contract in fm-watch-arm.test.sh, and a mid-restore marker advance with no
rejection appendix in fm-pi-watch-extension.test.sh.

* Treat a dead arm child as an empty slot so repair and retry recover

startArm and scheduleRetry answered unchanged while holding a ChildProcess
whose OS process was already gone but whose close had not fired, so neither
the repair tool nor the retry timer started anything until that close fired.
Gate slot occupancy on a liveness check (exit/signal codes plus pid probe)
and start a fresh arm instead, with a regression test driving the repair
tool against a dead-but-unclosed child.

* no-mistakes(document): Document new Pi extension log knob

* no-mistakes(review): Fix confirm-failure retire token match, add distinct-pid test

* no-mistakes(document): Clarify retire guard needs pid and generation

* Make the Pi extension diagnostic log opt-in and default-off

Only a positive FM_WATCH_EXTENSION_LOG_KEEP_LINES enables
state/.watch-extension.log. Unset, empty, non-numeric, zero, and
negative values disable logging entirely, so the default run writes
nothing and never creates the file. The shared positiveInteger
fallback semantics stay untouched for the retry and timeout knobs.
docs/configuration.md owns the knob contract and
docs/watcher-continuity.md points at it. Tests: the superseded-delivery
case runs opted in, and a new case proves unset, zero, and non-numeric
values create no log file while delivery still succeeds.

* no-mistakes(document): Qualify extension-log coverage bullet as opt-in

* no-mistakes(ci): The two reported checks (CI run 36372002913, Require no-mistakes run 36372069208) show conclusion action_required with 0 jobs and no logs because this is a fork PR (RibatTRW/firstmate) and GitHub is holding the workflow runs awaiting maintainer approval; that gate is external to the code and needs a maintainer to approve the runs. While verifying the change locally I found a real defect the approved CI run would hit: the PR's new test test_handling_delivered_rejects_a_superseded_generation failed deterministically. Invariant violated: reopen-announced (a non-successor/manual arm start) mints a fresh recovery generation only when the durable wake queue holds unrecovered work; an announced episode with an empty queue must be left untouched so idle arm starts never churn generations (the [ -s queue ] guard from kunchenguid#4819, relied on by bin/fm-watch.sh:2413 and covered by the append-reopens and announcement-bound sibling tests). The test called reopen with an empty queue and expected churn, so the fix establishes the queued-work precondition (append one wake, re-announce, re-read the generation) before asserting the reopen mints and the old confirmation mismatches. Test-only change, 14 lines in tests/fm-watch-arm.test.sh. Verified: fm-watch-arm.test.sh 25/25 ok on two consecutive runs, fm-pi-watch-extension.test.sh 55/55 ok, and shellcheck reports only one pre-existing warning outside the edited region

* no-mistakes(document): Restore blank line in watcher-continuity docs

* Route superseded Pi deliveries like confirmed ones and cover the retire guard

A superseded handling confirmation now falls through to the normal delivery
path, so an accepting supervision branch owns the wake instead of main.
Scope the watcher-continuity token-pinned confirmation and narrowed retire
rule to Pi, since omp and OpenCode still confirm against the current
successor. Add tests that fail when the retire guard, the scheduled-retry
gate, or the deferred-close gate is reverted, relabel the churned-generation
characterization test, and use a reaped pid for the dead-pid rejection.

* fix(pi): silence unacknowledged processing retry replies

Suppress autonomous processing prose before persistence and during streaming while retaining tool calls, signed reasoning, and retryable outcomes. Restore ordinary output after acknowledgement or a user message.

* no-mistakes(review): Silence only processing retries, keep first presentation visible

* fix(pi): preserve differing processing retry replies
…henguid#6530)

Pi 1.0.1's createToolHtmlRenderer reads getToolRenderers and ignores
getToolDefinition. Calm /export still includes stock grep HTML; the
fixture has to pass the lookup key the installed Pi actually reads.
* fix(procevent-quota): tolerate consecutive slow quota-axi reads

The quota allowance poll treated any quota_json failure as terminal, so one
slow quota-axi --json (measured max ~29s under a 48s derived bound) shut the
watch down until someone re-armed it, and the detail always said
"missing/incompatible". Tolerate three consecutive failed or timed-out reads
before going terminal, reset the streak on any good read, and report a
timeout distinctly from a missing or incompatible tool. Each timed poll runs
exactly one bounded --version and one bounded --json: validate the captured
version text through fm_quota_axi_version_compatible rather than launching a
second probe, and describe a mixed failure streak by count plus last cause.

* no-mistakes(document): Document quota polling failure tolerance

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed ci-2 and ci-3. Permanent quota read failures (rc 2 missing, rc 3 incompatible) now report on the first poll, while transient rc 1/4 failures retain the existing three-failure retry behavior. The missing-binary test now uses an isolated PATH without quota-axi and asserts both permanent failures stop at condition_polls: 1. Verification passed: tests/fm-procevent-quota.test.sh, canonical fast lint for both changed files, bash syntax checks, and git diff --check

* no-mistakes(review): Classify untimed quota version failures as transient

* no-mistakes(document): Clarify quota polling failure budget

* fix(teardown): clarify scratch guidance and dirty worktree refusals

Keep ship proof material outside the task worktree and distinguish untracked-only leftovers from tracked edits without changing cleanup guards.

Fixes kunchenguid#6319

* fix(ci): Fixed ci-3 only. Both promotion outputs now replace the scout restriction and require external scratch storage and a clean worktree before done. Verification: 27 delivery tests passed, five mutations caught, restored test passed, pinned ShellCheck and syntax/whitespace checks passed. ci-1, ci-2, and ci-4 remain untouched

* Escalate inbox instructions stuck behind a busy worker

Count consecutive busy-deferred due doorbells durably and escalate at the configured bound without typing into the worker pane.

Fixes kunchenguid#6445

* fix(review): Fix inbox escalation deduplication and busy streak resets

* fix(review): Preserve busy inbox escalations through daemon supervision

* fix(document): Correct busy-inbox escalation documentation

* fix(ci): Fixed SC2034 in tests/fm-task-inbox.test.sh by including the loop counter in the failure diagnostic. Source-aware lint, all 34 inbox tests, and git diff --check pass. Behavior portable serial 6 reproduces identically on base 1f3e769 and target 78156b8 with Pi 1.0.1: an unrelated renderer API change breaks the unchanged Calm test. No Calm changes made; that failure is addressed separately by kunchenguid#6516. Logs retained in scratchpad-ci/

* fix(ci): Fixed ci-2, ci-3, and ci-4: successor failures surface, reset alerts deduplicate, and oversized busy limits fall back to two. Passed 47 inbox tests, 7 focused daemon checks, all 13 mutation checks, lint, documentation checks, and diff checks. Evidence: scratchpad-ci-selected/summary.json. ci-1 remains unchanged and unwaived. Fresh live Herdr proof remains with the outer driver
* fix: prevent healthy remote job worker turnover

* no-mistakes(review): Serialize full LaunchAgent repair and verify launchd-tracked owners

* no-mistakes(review): Let launchd-tracked unpublished spawns start before reloading

* no-mistakes(document): Document remote worker heartbeat and serialized LaunchAgent recovery

* no-mistakes(ci): Full CI log showed the idle-worker regression exceeded its outdated command budget (82 versus 80) after independent heartbeat ownership checks were added. Raised the budget to 120 while retaining the separate busy-poll sleep limit. Remote-job and LaunchAgent executable tests passed, as did bash syntax validation and git diff --check. No production behavior changed

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed missing readiness recovery under verified live ownership, preserving the serving PID and private file mode. Added executable regressions for deletion during a blocked sweep and stale readiness diagnostics without LaunchAgent reload. Deletion regression failed before the fix. Both remote-job test suites, bash syntax validation, and git diff --check passed

* no-mistakes(ci): Full CI log identified a flaky ownership-loss test racing an already-authorized heartbeat refresh. Replaced backdating and a fixed sleep with bounded observation of readiness expiry through the public probe. Production behavior unchanged. Remote-job and LaunchAgent executable suites passed; bash syntax validation and git diff --check passed

* fix: wait for launchd bootout cleanup

* no-mistakes(document): Document remote worker recovery and read-only turnover verification

* no-mistakes(review): Publish worker identity before lock owner records

* no-mistakes(document): Document worker identity publication safety invariant

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed ci-1: replacement workers discard predecessor readiness before publishing identity and roll back identity if lock-owner recording fails. Added executable regressions reproducing both defects. LaunchAgent and orphan-reap suites, shell syntax checks, and git diff --check passed. No live service state was modified

* no-mistakes(ci): Restored lock-owner-before-identity publication and removed the identity rollback and reordering-only tests. Retained an executable regression proving predecessor readiness is rejected until replacement startup completes. LaunchAgent and orphan-reap suites, shell syntax checks, and git diff --check passed. Other changes remain intact; the retained-identity interrupted-repair edge remains out of scope. No live service state was modified
* fix(remote-job): reap expired seq claims with one directory walk

The hourly claim sweep forked uname+stat per .seq-claims entry and blocked
serving for ~85s at ~17k dirs. Delete expired empty claim dirs with a single
find -exec rmdir batch and cache the host uname for remaining mtime reads.

* no-mistakes(review): Restore original path mtime helper and drop uname cache

* no-mistakes(test): Restore claim retention eligibility; focused retention and serving tests pass

* no-mistakes(document): Document single-walk claim cleanup and regression entrypoints

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed Lint 2’s reproduced SC1091 by adding the tests/lib.sh ShellCheck source directive to the retention test. Runtime behavior is unchanged. ShellCheck passed for both new claim tests; Bash syntax, the retention behavior test, and git diff --check passed

* fix(tests): keep fixture registries out of git worktree roots

A TMPDIR pointed at a repository root placed live .fm-test-* registries
beside tracked files, and a concurrent git add during the claim-walk CI
fix round committed three of them. Route registries and fixture roots
through a TMPDIR that refuses git worktree roots, remove the stray files,
and pin the escape with a behavioral cleanup test.

* no-mistakes(review): Preserve whole-second claim expiry in single-walk sweep

* no-mistakes(document): Correct temporary-directory resolution documentation

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed ci-3 by changing only the stale, fresh, and read-only orphan fixture paths in tests/fm-test-fixture-cleanup.test.sh to use $FM_TEST_TMPDIR. All seven tests passed both normally and with TMPDIR set to the worktree root. Shell syntax and git diff --check passed
…t-in (kunchenguid#5354)

* feat(bin): record each task's no-mistakes pipeline spend at cleanup

no-mistakes keeps every pipeline agent invocation's token usage only in its
local agent_invocations records, and cold pipeline agents (review, test,
document) leave no session log, so a task's review-loop cost never reached
Firstmate's records and could not be attributed after cleanup.

bin/fm-pipeline-spend.sh attributes a task's runs by the repository
no-mistakes resolves for the task copy, the task branch, and the branch's
creation (a relaunch mints a new spawn_gen while the branch keeps
validating), then sums every invocation, failed and cancelled included.
Token fields use no-mistakes' per-round deltas so resumed review rounds are
not counted twice, and unrecorded values stay unknown rather than zero.
show prints the record read-only; record appends it once per task
incarnation to data/pipeline-spend.jsonl. Teardown records it for every
ship task it cleans up, before deleting the branch and the task record.

fm_nm_state_db becomes the one owner of where no-mistakes' state database
lives, shared with the capped run-inventory reader.

* no-mistakes(review): Drop spend show command and timeout override

* style(bin): rewrap fm-pipeline-spend header comment

* Make pipeline spend recording opt-in

* no-mistakes(document): Note pipeline-spend opt-in gate in teardown comments

* no-mistakes(ci): I fixed all three Greptile findings following your decision. Both test suites pass: tests/fm-teardown.test.sh (105 ok, exit 0) and tests/fm-pipeline-spend.test.sh (8 ok). I didn't run either new test against the old code, so the claim that they fail before the fix is from reading the code, not a run. Nothing was committed or pushed. **ci-1 / ci-2 (bin/fm-teardown.sh):** The rule is that every owned ship task in a home that has opted in gets a durable spend record before its task record is deleted. The `[ -d "$WT" ]` check skipped the recorder when the worktree folder was already gone, so no record was written. I removed that check and kept the other conditions: the task must be a ship task, teardown must own its worktree, and `config/pipeline-spend` must exist. `bin/fm-pipeline-spend.sh` already writes an unavailable-source line when the worktree is missing. The new test `test_teardown_records_unavailable_spend_for_a_gone_worktree` in tests/fm-teardown.test.sh sets up an owned ship task whose worktree is missing, with recording turned on. It checks that teardown succeeds, writes a line with `source=="unavailable"`, `total==null` and a reason saying the task copy is gone, and still removes the task record. Under the old check no ledger would have been written. **ci-3 (bin/fm-nm-run-lib.sh):** When `NM_HOME` and `HOME` were both unset, `fm_nm_state_db` fell back to `${HOME:-}/.no-mistakes`, which resolves to `/.no-mistakes`. It now uses `root=~/.no-mistakes`. Bash expands `~` to the account's home directory even when `HOME` is unset, which matches the previous Python `Path.home()` lookup. The new test `test_state_db_without_nm_home_or_home_uses_the_account_home` in tests/fm-pipeline-spend.test.sh runs the function with both variables unset and compares the result to the home directory from the system's password database. The old code would have returned `/.no-mistakes/state.sqlite`. shellcheck reports nothing new on the changed files. I added one `disable=SC2016` comment in the new test, where the single-quoted `$1` is meant to expand in the child shell
* feat(bin): start tasks from a named base branch

Spawns always reset a task's pooled copy to origin's default branch,
so work that belongs on a feature, integration, or release branch
started from the wrong code and opened its PR against the default.

fm-brief.sh --base-branch records the base in the brief, fm-spawn.sh
resets the copy to origin/<base> and records base_branch= in task
meta, and the worker targets its PR at that branch. Review diffs,
the cleanup content check, and scout promotion read the recorded
base. local-only and Gerrit deliveries refuse a named base.

* no-mistakes(review): Anchor brief base-branch parse on scaffold Setup line

* no-mistakes(review): Require explicit --base-branch on spawn, matching brief lines

* no-mistakes(document): Note base-branch reset in fm-spawn freshness header

* no-mistakes(ci): I fixed all four Greptile findings the way you specified. The affected suites pass locally: fm-brief, fm-dod-lib, fm-spawn-pool-base-freshen, fm-review-diff, fm-teardown and fm-task-delivery. shellcheck on the changed files reports only info-level notes, no warnings or errors. I didn't revert the code to watch each new test fail before the fix. - **ci-1 (brief text blocked or redirected spawns):** In bin/fm-dod-lib.sh, `fm_brief_base_branches` now only accepts a `Base branch: <value>` line that comes directly after the base-variant Setup sentence fm-brief.sh writes. Any other `Base branch:` line is ignored. `--base-branch` is still the only authority, and the existing checks in fm-spawn.sh are unchanged. With the flag, the spawn is refused unless a matching pair exists and no pair names a different branch. Without the flag, it is refused only if such a pair exists. The header comment in fm-spawn.sh is updated to match. - The `brief_with_base` test helper now writes the real two-line pair. - The decoy refusal case now uses a full decoy pair in the captain's intent. - New test `test_prose_base_branch_line_is_ignored`: a brief with no base whose intent quotes `Base branch: release/1.2` spawns normally with no `base_branch=` recorded. A spawn with `--base-branch feature/hub` whose intent names release/1.2 starts from `origin/feature/hub` and records it. - **ci-2 (scout base not checked against the forge):** fm-spawn.sh now looks up the project's registered forge with `bin/fm-project-mode.sh --forge`, like the ship path does, before `fm_base_branch_valid` runs. Previously it passed `none`. New test `test_scout_base_branch_refused_on_gerrit_forge`: a scout with a base on a forge=gerrit project is refused at spawn and no meta file is written. - **ci-3 (base not shell-quoted in worker commands):** `fm_dod_block` now quotes the base with `printf %q` in the `--base` and `--base-branch` arguments, and the branch name in the prose stays readable. The test in fm-brief.test.sh uses the base `release/$HOTFIX` and checks that both direct-PR and no-mistakes briefs render `release/\$HOTFIX` in the commands. - **ci-4 (ambiguous PR sentence):** The direct-PR sentence now reads "open a PR with `gh-axi` that is ready for review, not a draft, against the base branch `X` (`--base X`), not the repository default." A brief with no base renders exactly as before. The existing assertion in fm-brief.test.sh is updated

* no-mistakes(ci): Both real failures on PR 6442 (run 37064756768) come from CI tooling and a Pi version bump, not from the base-branch feature. Fixes for both already exist on upstream main, so I applied those two commits to the working tree with `git cherry-pick --no-commit`. Nothing is committed or pushed, and no feature file changed. - **Lint 2:** ShellCheck ran out of memory on `bin/fm-teardown.sh` (rss about 8 GB, exit 251, "shellcheck: out of memory"). The rule that broke is that the lint gate must finish on any valid shell root without exceeding the runner's memory ceiling. Upstream commit d719ef3 (kunchenguid#6443) fixes this in `bin/fm-lint.sh`: a root that hits the memory ceiling is retried without `--external-sources`. It also updates `tests/fm-lint.test.sh` and `docs/fm-test-portable-shards.md`. - **Behavior portable serial 6:** `tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh` failed with "grep disappeared from /export calm.html HTML while calm mode was on". Pi 1.0.1 renamed its HTML export renderer lookup, and upstream commit fede619 (kunchenguid#6530) updates the test to accept the new name. This change is test-only. Both commits applied cleanly. The four touched files are `bin/fm-lint.sh`, `docs/fm-test-portable-shards.md`, `tests/fm-lint.test.sh` and `tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh`. None of them is in the feature diff, so the feature contract is unchanged. **Local checks:** - `tests/fm-lint.test.sh` passes. - `bin/fm-lint.sh` on `bin/fm-teardown.sh`, `bin/fm-spawn.sh` and `bin/fm-dod-lib.sh` exits 0 with full ShellCheck analysis. - `tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh` exits 0 with 7 ok and 0 not ok. One case skipped because the Pi package isn't installed locally, so the Pi 1.0.1 export path that failed in CI couldn't be reproduced here. CI needs to confirm it. - I didn't reproduce the 8 GB OOM locally. The PR has to be updated through the pipeline with a normal push: no force push, no replacement PR, no merge

* feat(bin): retire a contribution whose forge object is permanently gone

Add fm-contributions.sh retire <task> <url> <captain|fleet> <reason>,
which records actor, reason and time on the saved record and removes
that task/url pair from known, poll rotation and coverage even while a
backlog link remains. Repeating a retire keeps the first provenance;
an unrecorded pair, unknown actor, empty reason or unacknowledged
pending signal is refused.

* no-mistakes(review): Keep retirement per task when settling final owners

* no-mistakes(ci): Made the three Greptile fixes the captain chose. ci-1, retirement needs the captain's word: `retire` now accepts only the actor `captain`. Any other actor is refused, including `fleet`. I removed `fleet` from the usage line, the script header (`bin/fm-contributions.sh`), the check in `bin/fm-contributions.sh` and the retired-record validation in `bin/fm-contributions.jq`, which now requires `.actor == "captain"`. The script header now says a retirement always records the captain's word, because the script cannot verify who runs it and the authority to retire is the captain's. The Bearings skill line in `.agents/skills/bearings/SKILL.md` now says `retire` records the captain's word. In the tests, a `fleet` retire is now a refusal case and must leave the record unretired. Every other retire call in the tests uses `captain`. The PR description has not been changed yet: the ruling asks for the same captain's-word statement there, and that belongs to the PR phase. ci-2, blank reasons: the reason check is now `[ -n "${5//[[:space:]]/}" ]`, so a reason made only of spaces or tabs is refused. I added a refusal test that passes a space-tab-space reason. The header also lists a blank reason among the refusals. ci-3, the gone-object test: the test forge wrapper has a new `not-found` fault that returns HTTP 404 for every `api repos/o/r/...` read. The happy-path test `test_retire_ends_observation_of_a_gone_contribution` now uses it in place of the 502 `down` fault, so it models a permanently gone repository rather than an outage. Verification: `bash tests/fm-contributions.test.sh` passed with exit 0. The last lines of its output include the three retire tests passing and no failures. `shellcheck` flagged only SC2034 (`FM_WAKE_QUEUE` unused) and SC1091 (an unfollowed source of `bin/fm-path-lib.sh`), neither on a line this round changed

* fix(bin): reopen a pending-reply escalation after its resolve

A retry of an open decision still appends nothing. A later same-kind escalation after a resolved line for that key appends again, so the next loss is visible.

* no-mistakes(ci): Both Greptile findings are fixed in the working tree; the four directly affected test suites pass, and a wider run of related suites had not finished when I returned this result. Invariant: a line already in the status file is recorded, and only a caller with its own evidence of a new episode may append it again. It must hold for every caller of status_event_recorded: the continuity break and the other call in bin/fm-procevent-remote-reply.sh, fm_parent_channel_append_once, and the pending-reply escalation. Changes: - bin/fm-classify-lib.sh: status_event_recorded is back to the idempotent retry check. It returns at the first matching line, and a later resolved line no longer makes that line look new. This fixes ci-1 for every caller and restores the early exit for ci-2, with no separate scan optimization. - bin/fm-pending-reply-lib.sh: _fm_pending_reply_maybe_escalate_locked now owns the reopen. It appends a new blocked line when the record already has an escalated_epoch (it escalated before and was reset) and the keyed decision is no longer open. Otherwise it uses status_event_recorded, so a retry or a resend that leaves the decision open appends nothing. - Comments on status_event_recorded and the pending-reply header describe this scope. Tests: - tests/fm-pending-reply.test.sh: the regression for escalate, operator resolve, second escalate is unchanged and passes. - tests/fm-remote-reply.test.sh: new regression drives the real reader. After an operator resolve of remote-reply-continuity-ios, a repeated handle and ingest of the same break appends nothing and leaves the decision closed. I placed it beside the existing continuity-break test, not in the pending-reply file, because only that file has the reader harness. - tests/fm-classify-corr-token.test.sh and tests/fm-classify-decision-key.test.sh: the cases that expected a blocked line to append again after a resolve now assert it stays recorded. Verification: - fm-classify-decision-key, fm-classify-corr-token, fm-pending-reply and fm-remote-reply test suites all exit 0 with the fix. - With the two bin files reverted to the commit under review, the new continuity regression and the updated parent-publisher case both fail, so they reproduce ci-1. - shellcheck -x on the changed files reports nothing. - Not finished: a background run of every other suite that mentions the parent channel or pending replies had produced no output, pass or fail, when I returned. One known gap: the escalation writes escalated_epoch before phase. If the process dies between those two writes and an operator resolves the key before the next tick, that tick appends a blocked line for the same episode. I left it, because closing it needs new state. Issue 4755 and other escalation behavior are untouched. Nothing is committed

* fix: refuse a confirming Enter on the Claude exit picker

The background-task picker still classifies as pending, so a retried Enter confirms "Exit and stop tasks".
Stop after the Enter that opened it, and raise the existing stale wake with the dialog name.

A non-paused secondmate still skips that wake, so a secondmate parked on the picker still looks idle.
Model-downgrade confirmation, MCP approval, and any other Claude exit confirmation are not covered, because there is no recorded screen for them.

* no-mistakes(review): fix: anchor exit picker match and wake second mates

* fix: refuse a typed submit while the Claude exit picker is open

A pane that already shows the picker must not receive the message or a confirming Enter.
The match requires the recorded heading and footer lines, and it is skipped when no dialog name is being recorded.

* no-mistakes(test): test: align Herdr picker fixtures with the preflight read

* no-mistakes(document): document exit refusal on a recognised dialog

* fix: remove the dialog file when exit runs in a subshell

do_exit is invoked from a command substitution, so the parent cleanup never saw the path it is supposed to delete.

* no-mistakes(review): fix: set the dialog file path after the control lock

* no-mistakes(document): document why the dialog file path follows the lock

* no-mistakes(ci): The exit cleanup in bin/fm-control.sh now deletes the dialog file first and releases the control lock second. The changes are in the worktree and are not committed. Invariant: only the process that holds the control lock for a task may write or delete that task's dialog file ($STATE/<id>.composer-dialog, the file that carries the picker name from the composer read to the Enter checks). The old cleanup released the lock and then deleted the file, so the delete ran outside the lock. Places where this invariant must hold: control_cleanup is the only place that deletes the file, and the single assignment after CONTROL_LOCK_HELD=1 is the only place that names it. do_exit only truncates the file, and it runs while the parent holds the lock. A process that loses the lock never sets the path, so it deletes nothing (earlier fix, unchanged). No sibling site needed a change. Fix: in control_cleanup, the rm of the dialog file moved above the fm_lock_release call, with a two-line comment that gives the reason. No dialog recognition or supervision code changed. Test: added test_exit_removes_the_dialog_file_before_releasing_the_lock in tests/fm-control-relaunch.test.sh. It runs one `fm-control exit` with a recording rm on PATH. The lock release removes paths at or under the control lock with rm, so the recording rm writes whether the dialog file exists at that moment. The test asserts the last record is "absent". It starts no second command. Verification, all run locally: - Before the fix, the new test failed with "the dialog file must be gone when the control lock is released, got: present". - After the fix, tests/fm-control-relaunch.test.sh exits 0 with 75 ok lines and no "not ok" line, including the new test and the existing test that the file is gone after exit and after relaunch. - tests/fm-control.test.sh exits 0 with 44 ok lines. - shellcheck -x on both changed files exits 0 with no output. One thing I noticed and did not change: tests/fm-control-relaunch.test.sh prints 615 "rm: cannot remove ... Permission denied" lines during its temp-directory teardown. The count is the same with my change reverted, so this change does not cause it, and the suite still exits 0.

Root cause: bin/fm-contributions.sh:379-382 computes DEADLINE=$(date +%s)+BUDGET and then gates each read on DEADLINE-$(date +%s) >= OBSERVATION_RESERVE (= min(BUDGET,15)). At the one-second budget this test uses, that gate demands zero elapsed whole seconds, so a wall-clock second boundary crossing between the two date calls makes the poll loop break before any forge read. The test calls wrap_forge (which installs a fake date reading $FORGE/clock only when that file exists) but never seeded forge/clock, so it ran against the real clock. The repo already documents this exact hazard at tests/fm-contributions.test.sh:675-677 and freezes the clock in every other budget-constrained test: test_budget_exhaustion_keeps_prior_record (both modes), test_genuine_failure_near_deadline_is_unavailable, test_reservation_defers_later_url_when_fifteen_seconds_do_not_remain, test_slow_read_deadline_kill_is_budget_refusal, test_budget_is_cut_down_to_the_watcher_check_bound. test_arm_plumbs was the only omission; its single loop body covers both the configured and inherited modes. The remaining wrap_forge users run the default 20-second budget (5 seconds of slack above the reserve) and are not reachable by this race. Fix (smallest, matching the sibling idiom): added the clock freeze `/bin/date +%s > "$home/forge/clock"` plus a two-line comment inside that test's loop, before the poll. Three added lines in tests/fm-contributions.test.sh; no production code and no other file touched. Verification: reproduced the exact CI failure message by running a scratch copy whose fake date advances one second per read (worst case of the unfrozen clock) - missing forge/calls, "not ok - generated check did not attempt a read". With the fix, the single test passes 10/10 standalone and the full tests/fm-contributions.test.sh passes all 46 assertions with exit 0. tests/fm-startup-growth-check.test.sh still exits 0. bash -n and shellcheck -S warning are clean on the edited file; scratch repro files were removed, leaving only the intended three-line change. Note for the author: this flake is not caused by this branch - tests/fm-contributions.test.sh is untouched by the PR and the race is pre-existing, surfacing only on a loaded runner (the shard's neighbouring assertions show 80+ second gaps). It was fixed because it is genuine nondeterminism with an established in-repo remedy and the check cannot otherwise go green. No work was done on the unselected greptile findings (ci-2..ci-5) or the cancelled "Behavior portable serial 2" check (ci-6)

* no-mistakes(ci): Diagnosed "Behavior portable serial 6": the omitted log section (fetched with gh api) shows the shard failed on tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh in test_hidden_block_geometry_e2e with "Pi Calm hidden-block geometry E2E did not complete the /reload viewport transition" (exit=1, duration_ms=23437; the family line pure-contract-unit count=3 duration_ms=51193 failed=1 matches devin-harness 3203 + calm-pi 23437 + task-delivery 24553). Root cause: tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh:2831 wait_for_geometry_transition detected the /reload by SAMPLING a single intermediate frame - it polled tmux capture-pane for Pi's transient "Reloading keybindings, extensions, skills, prompts, themes, and context files..." box and only accepted the rebuilt transcript afterwards (elif gated on saw_transient). Pi shows that box only while the reload runs and replaces it via dismissReloadBox when done, so on a loaded runner the box can live entirely between two polls; saw_transient then stays 0 forever and the 600-attempt wait times out although the reload fully succeeded. Reproduced locally under CPU oversubscription with CI's Pi 1.0.4: 1 failure in 8 runs, diagnostics proving the mechanism ("DIAG: transition timeout saw_transient=0 attempt=600") while the captured viewport already showed the completed reload status row and the intact collapsed transcript. Not a Pi-version regression: 1.0.4's handleReloadCommand and both banner strings are identical to the installed 0.85.1, and shard 6 of the previous pipeline run (job 112490351105) passed this same script on Pi 1.0.4. Invariant violated: a TUI E2E assertion must key off a durable state the UI retains, never off one intermediate frame polling may miss. Sibling enumeration: the helper was defined once and called once; grep for transient/saw_/two-stage waits across tests/, bin/ and .pi/ found no other one-shot-frame wait - every other wait in the file keys off durable text presence/absence or off continuously repeating animation frames (the working-ship motion checks) where sampling eventually connects; no doc or other test referenced the helper. Fix (smallest, one helper): renamed it wait_for_geometry_reload and made it wait for the durable status row Pi appends once the reload completed and the chat was rebuilt ("Reloaded keybindings, extensions, skills, prompts, themes, and context files", a persistent chat child via showStatus, present in both 0.85.1 and 1.0.4) together with CALM_GEOMETRY_FINAL. That marker is absent before the reload and never appears if the reload throws, so the check is strictly stronger than before (a failed reload now fails the test instead of passing on transient-then-final). One file changed: tests/fm-calm-pi-extension.test.sh, 2 hunks, no production code. Verification: deterministic before/after - with polls spaced 0.4s apart (the loaded-runner worst case) the pre-fix helper fails with exactly the CI message and the post-fix helper passes; 12/12 consecutive passes of the isolated test under load with Pi 1.0.4; full file 15/15 ok exit 0 under LANG=C.utf8 (matching the runner locale); bash -n, shellcheck -S warning and bin/fm-lint.sh clean; scratch repro files and the temp Pi 1.0.4 install removed, git status shows only the one intended modification. Notes: (1) the flake is not caused by this branch - that test file is untouched by the PR and the race is pre-existing; fixed because it is genuine nondeterminism and the check cannot otherwise go green. (2) Under far harsher load than CI applies a separate unrelated flake appeared in the same test: Pi's "Warning: tmux extended-keys is off..." row occasionally lands between the collapsed [skill] ahoy row and the final response, making assert_geometry_gap see 5 rows instead of 2. Different cause, never seen in CI, and its plausible remedies would change key delivery for the other TUI tests in the file, so it was left alone rather than growing this fix

* fix: reopen a remote-reply continuity break after repair

A later break for the same route and reason was swallowed after the
operator resolved the first one, because the status line matched for
the life of the log. The continuity ingest now appends again when the
cursor has moved or retirement has reset that episode, and an unchanged
re-read still appends nothing.

status_event_recorded is unchanged. Its other callers are the
pending-reply escalation, which already decides its own episode, the
parent-channel note append, and the remote document transfer note.

* no-mistakes(review): seed continuity episode for already recorded break line

* no-mistakes(document): document when a remote-reply continuity break reopens

* no-mistakes(ci): The adapter now stores the continuity episode record before it appends the `blocked` line, so a failed store appends nothing. The changes are uncommitted in the worktree, in `bin/fm-procevent-remote-reply.sh` and `tests/fm-remote-reply.test.sh`. **Invariant:** a continuity `blocked` line is on the parent status log only when the episode record for that break is already stored. Only the `continuity-broken` branch of `cmd_ingest` appends that line, so the fix is at that one place. **What changed in `cmd_ingest`:** - It decides first whether the break needs a line, then stores the episode record, then appends. - If storing the record fails, it stops with "cannot record continuity episode" and appends nothing. - If the line is already on the log and no episode record exists, it stores the record and does not append. **One addition you did not ask for:** if the append fails after the record is stored, the adapter puts the earlier record back (or deletes the new one when none existed). Without that, the retry would read as the unchanged repeat and append nothing, which is the issue 6701 failure again. **Deviation from your test instruction:** the test does not use `chmod` on the cursor directory. `write_continuity_episode` runs `chmod 700` on that directory before every write, so a read-only directory is made writable again. The test instead makes `mktemp` fail for the episode's temporary file in that directory, the same way the existing receipt-failure test does. **Tests added to `tests/fm-remote-reply.test.sh`:** - Store failure: the second break exits 1, appends no `blocked` line and opens no decision. One retry after storage recovers exits 3 and appends a single line. - Append failure: with the status log read-only, the third break exits 1 and appends nothing. One retry after the log is writable exits 3 and appends a single line. **Verification:** `bash tests/fm-remote-reply.test.sh` ends with "ALL TESTS PASSED" with the fix. Against the script at commit b750c828 the same test file fails at "a continuity break appended its line before its episode was stored". `shellcheck -S warning` reports only an unused loop variable at line 667 of the test file, which this change does not touch. I ran no other test files. The Greptile Review check log could not be retrieved, so I worked from the finding text alone

* fix: record a continuity break's reader position on its status line

A later break at another cursor is then a different line, so the existing
duplicate check appends it and reopens the decision. An unchanged re-read
builds the same line and appends nothing.

* fix: reopen a continuity break after an identical restore

A retirement that puts the same bytes back used to rebuild the recorded line, so the later break stayed closed. The retirement count on that line makes the later break distinct.

* no-mistakes(review): remove continuity match for full-prefix line without retirement count

* no-mistakes(document): clarify what a continuity break status line records

* fix: remove the reply cursor before recording retirement

A stop between those steps must leave the count unchanged, so an unchanged continuity break still builds the same line.
…is retired (kunchenguid#6733)

* fix(control): drop busy_gen when an incarnation is retired

A deliberate exit removed the busy sidecar and left busy_gen in the task record, so the two records disagreed about whether that incarnation was still observable.

* no-mistakes(review): drop GNU-only chmod and unreached sidecar-absent branch

* no-mistakes(review): correct lock comment to name the deadlock

* no-mistakes(ci): The test `test_exit_drops_meta_busy_gen_with_the_sidecar` in tests/fm-control.test.sh now compares the whole task record (the `state/<id>.meta` file), so the Greptile finding is fixed. Invariant: after `exit` retires an incarnation, the task record must equal the record from before `exit` with only the `busy_gen` line removed. This test is the only place in the change that asserts the record survives the rewrite, so it is the only site to fix. The other `busy_gen` tests assert that the line stays, and they do not go through the rewrite. What changed: before `exit`, the test writes the record without its `busy_gen` line to `expected.meta`. After `exit`, the test runs `diff` between that expected copy and the real record, and fails with the diff output if they differ. This one comparison replaces the two earlier checks (no `busy_gen` line left, and the `window` line present), because it covers both. I did not change bin/fm-control.sh or any other file. How I know it works: - I ran `bash tests/fm-control.test.sh`: exit code 0, 45 lines starting with `ok`, no other lines. - I temporarily changed the rewrite in bin/fm-control.sh to also drop the `harness` line. The test then failed with `not ok - exit should drop only busy_gen from the task record:` and the diff `< harness=codex`. The earlier `window`-only check would have passed that rewrite. I restored bin/fm-control.sh afterwards; `git status` shows only tests/fm-control.test.sh modified. - `bash -n` and `shellcheck` on the test file report no new warnings from the edit. The change is not committed; the working tree holds it

* fix(calm): share the standalone Pi Calm working-ship widget slot

Firstmate Calm and the user-global standalone Pi Calm both install an
animated working-ship widget during agent runs. Each claimed its own Pi
widget key, so a session loading both (the main Firstmate home) rendered
two boats. Pi replaces widgets under one key, so claiming the shared
"calm-working-ship" slot keeps dual-install sessions to a single boat
while a Firstmate-only session is unchanged.

Pins the shared slot contract in the working-ship module test so the key
cannot silently diverge again.

* test(calm): pin the shared working-ship widget key in CI, document dual-install

The key-parity assertion inside the Pi fixture only runs where the
@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent package is installed, so CI never
exercised it. Add a source-level twin that needs nothing but the
tracked file, and note in docs/calm.md that the boat shares the
standalone Pi Calm working-row widget slot.

* no-mistakes(review): Add executable dual-install widget replacement coverage

* no-mistakes(review): Guard shared widget cleanup with disposal ownership

* no-mistakes(document): Document shared Calm working-ship slot behavior

* test(calm): read the standalone Calm slot from its own module

The dual-install check registered both boats itself under the shared
slot, so it could only prove that Pi replaces a widget under one key: it
would still pass if the standalone Pi Calm extension installed its boat
under a different key, which is the two-boat regression the check exists
to prevent.

Read the standalone extension's own working-ship module when it is
installed - FM_STANDALONE_CALM_SHIP, else ~/.pi/agent/extensions/calm -
and drive the check with the key that module exports, so a rename on
either side registers two widgets and fails naming both keys. A pinned
shared-slot contract still covers a machine without the extension, and
the run reports which side it used instead of passing silently over an
absent extension.

Verified: the touched Pi Calm suite passes and reads the installed
standalone extension; with a copy of it whose key is renamed to
calm-working-ship-v2 the suite fails naming the drift.

…id#6649)

* fix(herdr): make exact-resume presentation-lock wait instead of a bounded timeout

The exact-resume path in bin/fm-spawn.sh used the same 50-attempt-then-
give-up lock acquire as the new-task-create path, but the two paths are
not equivalent on contention: a create has no prior state to strand and
can safely fall back to a flat layout, while a resume is recovering a
specific existing identity that a concurrent recovery may legitimately
be holding the lock for. Giving up there does not degrade gracefully,
it hard-fails the resume outright. The suite's own concurrent
cross-home recoveries test already asserts both concurrent recoveries
succeed with a genuine reclaim, and the file's header comment already
(inaccurately) claimed lock contention falls back to the ordinary flat
layout for both paths alike, so the intended contract was always that
recoveries serialize and both succeed, not that either one refuses
under a short bound.

Give spawn_herdr_presentation_order_lock_acquire a wait mode that uses
this file's own established fm_lock_acquire_wait idiom (already used
for its other fleet-shared locks) instead of the bounded loop, and use
it only at the exact-resume call site. The new-task-create call site
is unchanged and keeps its bounded-then-flat-fallback behavior, which
is already covered by its own passing test. Dead-owner PID-liveness
reclaim inside fm_lock_try_acquire still bounds the wait against a
holder that crashed mid-hold.

Adds a deterministic regression test that holds the shared session
lock from an unrelated process for well past the old bound, then
asserts the resume succeeds with a genuine reclaim and took close to
the full hold duration, so a fix that merely widens the bound rather
than genuinely waiting is still caught. The existing concurrent
cross-home recovery test exercises this under real timing but does not
reliably outlast a fixed bound on its own.

Corrects the header comment's claim that create and resume share one
bounded-then-flat-fallback behavior on lock contention; they no longer
do.

* no-mistakes(document): Document Herdr recovery waiting for presentation lock

* no-mistakes(document): Update stale hard-refusal claim in verification log

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed the Greptile finding on tests/fm-backend-herdr-presentation-e2e.test.sh:1389 by bounding the resume lock-wait regression's spawn_task call. Added an optional 4th `deadline_seconds` arg to the `spawn_task` helper (defaults to empty, so all ~20 other existing call sites are unaffected and unwrapped by `timeout`). The lock-wait test now passes `LOCK_WAIT_HOLD_SECONDS + 60` (90s) as the deadline, and a dedicated check for exit code 124 emits a clear "hung for over Xs instead of waiting out a Ys lock hold" diagnostic before falling through to the existing pass/fail assertions, which are unchanged. No product code was touched. Verified with `bash -n`, `shellcheck -x` (no warnings), a standalone reproduction of the timeout/no-timeout/success paths, the project's `bin/fm-lint.sh --fast` on the file (clean), and the full `tests/fm-lint.test.sh` suite (all 46 assertions pass)

* no-mistakes(ci): Replaced the direct `timeout "$deadline_seconds"` call in `spawn_task()` (tests/fm-backend-herdr-presentation-e2e.test.sh) with the repo's portable bounded-execution helper: sourced `bin/fm-timeout-lib.sh` at the top of the file and changed `deadline_cmd=(timeout "$deadline_seconds")` to `deadline_cmd=(fm_run_timed "$deadline_seconds")`. This removes the GNU/BSD `timeout` dependency that would fail with exit 127 on a stock macOS host without coreutils, while preserving identical semantics (exit 124 on bound-hit, command's own exit otherwise), which the existing `[ "$LOCK_WAIT_STATUS" -eq 124 ]` diagnostic check already relies on. Verified: `bash -n` syntax check, `bin/fm-lint.sh --fast` clean, full `tests/fm-lint.test.sh` suite (46/46 pass), and a standalone repro confirming `fm_run_timed` returns 124 on timeout and 0 on success identically to the prior `timeout` call. No other direct `timeout` calls exist in this file or elsewhere in the PR's diff, so no sibling sites remain

* fix(herdr): gate exact-resume lock wait behind --herdr-resume-lock-wait

Keep refuse-by-default on presentation-order lock contention for Herdr
exact resume. Callers that need concurrent recoveries to serialize must
pass --herdr-resume-lock-wait; unbounded blocking on a third-party session
lock is never the default.

Update docs and the real-Herdr e2e suite so the default path asserts the
refusal and the opt-in path asserts the wait.

* no-mistakes(test): Fix e2e test's lost exit status after if/fi with no else branch

* docs(herdr): stop advertising --herdr-resume-lock-wait on --relaunch

The relaunch path reuses the recorded endpoint and never takes the
presentation-order lock, so the flag is inert there. Drop it from the
--relaunch usage line and state where the flag applies.

* no-mistakes(review): Clarify lock-wait docs; simplify bash-3.2-safe spawn_task helper

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed ci-1 (Greptile P2). In tests/fm-backend-herdr-presentation-e2e.test.sh, the failure cleanup `cleanup_all` stopped only `LOCK_CONTENTION_OWNER_PID`. It now also stops `LOCK_REFUSE_HOLDER_PID` and `LOCK_WAIT_HOLDER_PID`, the holders of the two new contention cases, so a `fail` before their explicit `wait` no longer leaves them running. Both new PIDs are initialised empty next to the existing one, and each is cleared right after its successful `wait` so cleanup never touches a finished PID. I changed nothing else. `bash -n` passes. The real Herdr e2e run passed both new cases ("default resumed identity refuses session lock contention" and "--herdr-resume-lock-wait waits out session lock contention instead of refusing"). The full run hit my 550s timeout in a later, unrelated case, after the new cases passed

* fix(bin): let TERM stop a watcher blocked in a pane capture on bash 3.2

Stock macOS bash 3.2 holds a HUP or TERM until a running command
substitution's child exits, and the watcher read every pane through
$(fm_backend_capture ...). A blocked backend read therefore held the
watcher's stop for as long as the read lasted, and a stopped watcher left
the hung read orphaned. tests/fm-watch-triage.test.sh
test_term_stops_a_watcher_blocked_inside_a_poll failed on /bin/bash 3.2
for this reason while passing on bash 5.

Pane captures now go through watcher_capture, which runs the read as a
waited background process group recorded like a check's, so the stop is
honored at once and watcher_cleanup stops a read still in flight along
with its per-call output file.

* no-mistakes(review): Run drain-ring idle capture in watcher shell, add regression test

* no-mistakes(document): Document watcher TERM handling for blocked checks and captures

* no-mistakes(test): Silence bash 3.2 setpgid race noise from watcher captures

* fix(bin): verify the capture group and scope the stop claim to pane reads

watcher_capture now confirms its background read leads its own process
group, as run_check_capture already does, so watcher_cleanup never relies
on a group that set -m failed to create. The comment and continuity doc
now say only fm_backend_capture pane reads go through watcher_capture;
agent-state and composer-state reads still run inside command
substitutions.
* feat(spawn): add per-home worker tool exclusions

Add an optional per-home config/crew-exclude-tools file listing tool names to hide from workers, one per line, with blank lines and # comments allowed.
It applies to every ship and scout launch and relaunch in that home, is never inherited by another home, and does not affect secondmate agents.
Pi and pi-signed apply it through --exclude-tools, which also covers MCP tool names.
Any other runtime, and a raw launch command, refuses the launch when the list is non-empty rather than ignoring it.
Malformed entries are refused before provisioning, and before a relaunch stops a running worker.
Exclusions that match no tool in the worker's loaded registry are reported as unverified warnings in its status record instead of refusing the worker.

Closes kunchenguid#6744

* no-mistakes(review): Preserve UTF-8 exclusion paths and verify Pi lifecycle behavior

* no-mistakes(document): Clarify worker tool exclusion documentation

* no-mistakes(ci): Fixed ci-1 in bin/fm-exclude-tools-lib.sh: a failed read now returns an error before printing names, so all shared launch and relaunch callers refuse rather than silently dropping exclusions. Added deterministic regression coverage for a file disappearing after readability checks across Pi/pi-signed ship and scout launches. Reproduced the original failure; verified 83 spawn checks, 77 relaunch checks, direct parser/runtime failure cases, full targeted lint, Bash syntax, and git diff --check. Relaunch tests passed with existing fixture-cleanup permission warnings. ci-2 remains unchanged per the user's decision; the outer executor owns the fresh CI run
