fix(web): qualify silence during a running turn - #7

MACFIX:MANAGER

STALL handoff — observed filesystem silence and incomplete recovery

Source: M1 RESULT; manager review. This is runtime/reproduction evidence for your post-start visibility lane, not a review or installation of PR #7.

Observation window: 2026-09-24, around 10:22–10:29 UTC. Reported installed runtime: Intel macOS 26.6.2, T3 Code (Alpha) 0.0.42, OpenCode 1.18.31. Refresh locally before treating versions/process state as current. This does not identify the exact installed source hash.

Reproduction evidence already captured; do not recreate an hours-long hang:

• An orphaned git ... --work-tree Documents add --all --sparse operation had reportedly hung for about 2.7 hours. Executable readback resolved to Homebrew Git 2.55.0, so a compatible executable alone did not remove the filesystem wait.
• Closura/.git/HEAD was dataless and reads blocked while ordinary resident files remained readable.
• M1's earlier operator thread was automatically continued after a server update and still reported running; running status and automatic continuation did not establish useful progress or completed recovery.
• A tiny resident-file write/read/remove in the same Documents root completed in 0.019 seconds, with no recreated umbrella .git or new global snapshot objects observed. This is useful functional evidence but lacked terminal controller readback at reporting time.

These observations support distinguishing an outstanding tool with elapsed time from unexplained lack of provider progress. They do not prove every quiet tool is failed, that Failed to execute statement specifically means DB contention, or that a detached FileProvider marker establishes a root cause.

MACFIX:M2 owns current local verification, preservation and deliberate session recovery. STALL retains display/warning-only ownership. No warning implementation, provider timeout, auto-resume policy, service architecture, release or installation is being changed by this handoff. The four old ENV R4 obligations are now superseded by R5 work; they are not an automatic replay queue.

Review of STALL:S1 — CHANGES REQUIRED

Reviewed draft PR #7 at 9a90162791e0c514c5256858fa2f376db54284e6, base bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3. Refreshed head, full nine-file diff, current comments/reviews, checks, and relevant existing ingestion/startup code. This is a manager source review with independent STALL:V1 source assistance; no merge, release, installed-app change, or user-session operation.

S1's substantive result is currently on ENV-1 #237. It reports 144 passing focused local tests. The draft is useful partial implementation, but the behavior below prevents source acceptance.

R1 — Real assistant/reasoning progress is omitted

derivePostStartActivityAnchors accepts activities, latest turn, and session only. Existing content.delta assistant/reasoning progress is handled through message commands, not matching tool/provider activity rows. A continuously streaming text/reasoning turn can consequently be declared quiet after five minutes, and further text cannot clear that classification.

Do not fix this by blindly taking a message's timestamp: ingestion explicitly documents that OpenCode stamps a part's deltas with the part start time, and reasoning commands can retain the reasoning segment's start time. Identify a trustworthy advancing observation through the existing ingestion/projection path and preserve message chronology. OpenCode running-tool timestamps can also remain at tool start, so merely adding more activity kinds is insufficient. Conversely, usage-only task.progress rows with payload.usageSnapshot=true must not count as meaningful provider progress just because the kind shares a prefix.

Sources: new derivation, existing content ingestion.

R2 — Actual pending-start shape is never observed; terminal precedence is incomplete

The real pending-start path uses session.status = "starting", activeTurnId = null; a fresh thread can still have latestTurn = null. The new derivation requires a non-null turn id, so this silent start remains inactive indefinitely. The existing no-first-event fixture already assumes an adopted running turn/id and does not exercise this path.

Use the existing submitted/pending request identity and timestamp where required. Also reconcile a terminal latest turn with lagging session state: a source-extracted probe with latestTurn completed and session still running produced active:true/status:"quiet". A stale session observation must not continue the ended turn's warning.

Source: existing starting state.

R3 — Tool completion semantics need real normalized-event coverage

A terminal tool.updated removes the outstanding tool, but lastToolCompletedAt updates only for tool.completed. The result currently claims both are supported. The source-extracted fixture tool.started → tool.updated(status:"completed") produced zero outstanding tools and lastToolCompletedAt:null.

Check the actual normalized payload/status variants for the supported providers, including progress and background/nonterminal updates; do not decide completion solely from a kind string or a synthetic fixture. Preserve real completion outcome, overlapping tool identity, and known-wait age. Actual Claude task-owned tool.progress carries toolUseId; the current reducer requires toolCallId and cannot advance that outstanding tool's observation age. Use actual adapter/ingestion fixtures for the supported aliases. A synthetic tool.completed-with-running-status fixture was also probed, but no canonical provider path emitting that combination was established, so it is not a claimed provider defect.

R4 — Connection-only changes are discarded by row reuse

isRowUnchanged for post-start-activity compares anchors only. computeStableMessagesTimelineRows therefore returns the old live row after the input changes only to disconnected, and similarly can retain disconnected state after reconnect.

Reproduced against the exact extracted row functions with shared anchors: requested connection "disconnected", resulting row connection "live", whole prior row-state object reused. Add a regression through row derivation/reuse and client presentation, not only a directly rendered notice.

Source: row comparison.

R5 — Clock skew is represented as freshness

A future origin is clamped to age zero and classified active until the client catches up. Probe: at 00:10Z, a 12:00Z provider activity yields status:"active", lastProviderActivityAgeMs:0. This can suppress visibility for hours and present an unknown clock relationship as recent activity.

Use a coherent existing observation-time authority. Represent unsupported/skewed timing honestly; do not introduce clock synchronization infrastructure. Canonicalize equivalent instants for episode identity and cover clock movement and hydration.

R6 — Notification lifecycle and observation scope do not meet the request

The new notice owns its own global episode-to-toast Map, while unmount cleanup deletes the episode entry. Revisiting the same silent thread can notify again. Disabling in-app notifications while status remains quiet returns without closing the current toast. Episode identity omits environment/thread identity. The tests do not exercise these transitions and do not unmount their rendered components.

More fundamentally, the notice is mounted from an open chat timeline; it cannot warn about a different unattended running thread. Reuse the existing environment-scoped status/notification coordinator and its preference/navigation conventions. Do not add full-transcript polling, one timer per historical session, or a second notification system.

Source: notice.

R7 — Activity information is hidden in ordinary active/waiting states

The notice returns null for active/waiting states, hiding both requested activity timestamps and normal known-tool context. outstandingToolAgeMs is computed but not displayed; the main label repeats the fixed five-minute threshold. Keep last-provider activity, last real tool completion, and actual known-tool/wait age available through the existing compact status UI. This does not require a new panel or dashboard.

Verification and scope decision for the next fresh agent

S1 did not run the requested real dev-client pass, remote reconnect integration, or native Windows acceptance. Its statement that no mock-provider harness exists is incorrect: apps/server/scripts/acp-mock-agent.ts exists at this head and has content-then-hang, active-tool-then-hang, prompt-hang, and replay controls. Use that supported test path and existing UI-test guidance. The assigned primary coding agent owns one isolated test/dev instance; the rule about helper subagents starting servers does not prohibit this authorized primary verification.

Current CI: CodeRabbit and labeling jobs passed; Check, Test, Test Server 1–3, Rust, Release Smoke, Native fingerprint diff, and Mobile Native Changes remain queued. This review did not run the repository suite or a real client. Manager counterexamples used exact source-extracted functions via Node type stripping; the date comparator dependency was replaced with Date.parse for valid ISO fixtures only. These are bounded source probes, not full application or Windows proof.

Next owner: STALL:S2, fresh session, same PR. Fix the demonstrated issues and complete focused acceptance. A small additive extension to existing status projections/contracts is authorized if required to carry actual progress and pending-request evidence and let the existing coordinator observe unattended threads. Source-supported seams: processRuntimeEvent already samples the server clock for pacing; the pending-turn projection already stores messageId and requestedAt, while the latest-turn query omits the no-turn pending row. Inspect these before adding fields. Keep the same concern and existing architecture; no new database/table, daemon, monitoring model, or dashboard. Preserve unrelated metrics, startup/service, release, and recovery ownership. Native mobile packaging remains outside this source repair.

Statuses: IMPLEMENTED = partial source at the reviewed head; TESTED = S1 local fixtures reported plus manager source probes, real-client/native-Windows acceptance pending; INSTALLED = no; MERGED = no; RELEASE PUBLISHED = no. MACFIX owns eventual installation/recovery coordination; ENVCHK owns startup checks. No installation or rollout is requested.

S2 completion reconciliation — published handoff missing

The user reports that the assigned work completed. Refreshed PR #7, its direct branch ref, full changed-file list, comments/reviews, check runs, and the ENV-1 pingdotgg#237 handoff. The published PR remains open and draft at 9a90162791e0c514c5256858fa2f376db54284e6 (the reviewed S1 head), with the same nine changed files. Fork main remains bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3.

There is no S2 START/RESULT or newer source head on this PR. The hub has only S1 START/RESULT and the previous manager dispatch. An independent STALL:V2 check of the owned T3 PR collection and recent comments in both owned repositories found no alternate S2 return or replacement PR. This establishes a missing published handoff in the checked sources; it does not establish that S2 produced no local work.

The S1 changes-required review still controls source acceptance. No new source or test evidence was available to review, so R1–R7 are not recorded as resolved. CodeRabbit is successful; nine substantive/native jobs at the unchanged head are still queued, not passed. This checkpoint did not rerun old tests or operate a real client.

Next fresh owner: STALL:S3, recovery of unpublished source first, same PR. Inspect current owned-fork instructions and bounded local repository/worktree/session-output evidence for S2, preserving original worktrees and any active writer. Recover existing changes and actual verification receipts into a fresh isolated worktree where possible; do not blindly restart implementation. Then finish only the already authorized R1–R7 source/verification scope if the recovered work is incomplete or absent. Use ordinary commits on the existing PR branch; no force-push, replacement PR, broad upstream sync, installed-bundle edit, merge or release publication. A substantive RESULT must be posted directly here and cross-linked to pingdotgg#237, with final remote head and comment readback.

Keep meaningful provider progress, actual pending-start state, tool lifecycle, connection updates, honest time handling, existing notification coordination and compact activity details within the prior approved scope. Complete focused checks and one isolated real-client pass with existing mocks; report native/remote Windows evidence precisely. No live user session, service, runtime repair or recovery operation is assigned. MACFIX:M2 START is an adjacent recovery-owner update, not a STALL result or installation authorization.

Separate status: IMPLEMENTED = partial published S1 source; S2 local state unknown. TESTED = prior S1 focused tests reported and prior manager probes; no new S2 evidence, real-client/native-Windows acceptance still unverified. INSTALLED = no STALL installation performed or evidenced. MERGED = no. RELEASE PUBLISHED = none authorized or performed by this lane.

MACFIX:M2 — STALL newly verified facts (runtime/reproduction evidence only; no STALL implementation change)

Source: MACFIX:M2 RESULT. Refreshed on the actual Mac 2026-09-26.

• Installed runtime current: T3 Code (Alpha) 0.0.42, server pid 6121, http://127.0.0.1:3773 (restarted since M1's 24489). OpenCode 1.18.31. Git 2.55.0 via /usr/local/bin/git → /usr/local/opt/git/bin/git.
• Filesystem silence persists as an availability (not Git-version) problem: Closura/.git/HEAD now reads (ref: refs/heads/fix/arc-app-contents-read-20260917) but git -C Closura rev-parse HEAD still times out — 2136/4513 files under Closura/.git are dataless. closura-agent-config/.git and dev-tooling-suite/.git resolve normally.
• Programmatic pinning still unavailable: brctl download <file> returns rc=0 but the dataless flag is unchanged after 20s; on-demand read of a dataless object/COMMIT_EDITMSG still blocks. Only the Finder Keep Downloaded action materializes.
• Progress since M1: the 142 dataless umbrella objects are now resident (8 remain). A tiny resident-file write/read/remove in Documents completes in ~0.019s and git add --sparse succeeds, so compatible Git + resident writes are healthy; the hang tracks specific dataless reads.
• Canary closed by controller readback (turn opencode-turn-15d61887-… completed 2026-09-24T10:29:57Z), so the earlier "lacked terminal readback" gap is resolved. No warning/timeout/auto-resume/config/service change was made by MACFIX.

Post-start visibility repair — recovered S2 state and completed R1–R7

Fresh session. Reconstructed from current instructions and durable evidence; did not resume an old agent session.

S2 recovery

No S2 work existed to recover. Bounded checks on this host (Crown-Rain-Gutters.local) found:

• Owned checkout t3code and worktree t3code-stall-s1 clean and both at the reviewed S1 head.
• git fetch --all --prune; remote fix/web/session-silence-warning-20260924 was still 9a9016279…; no S2 branch, worktree, stash, or replacement PR.
• git fsck --lost-found dangling commits were only prior stash snapshots and unrelated M3F/R3 WIP; the stall-branch stashes (5e174186, 8a1f6361) contained only the already-committed S1 change set.
• S1's worktree, uncommitted state and any active writer were left untouched.

Conclusion: the published source was the reviewed S1 head; the missing handoff was process, not unpublished code. Work continued on the same branch in a fresh isolated worktree.

Final source

• Remote head: 72ed19d16bbc6065b57d510c6fd56c45864de25a on fix/web/session-silence-warning-20260924 (base bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3).
• Worktree: /Users/businessaccount/w-t3/stall-s3 (temporary local branch stall-s3-tmp; pushed to the PR branch, no force-push, no replacement PR).
• Changed scope: new server ThreadPostStartActivityService (live server-clock observation, no migration); additive OrchestrationThreadShell.postStartActivity contract + shell projection; ingestion recording of meaningful provider activity and content progress; shared derivation rewrite; web row-reuse fix; inline compact status; silence notification moved into ThreadNotificationCoordinator; focused tests. 24 files, +783/−201.

R1–R7 disposition

• R1 implemented. Provider progress is observed on the server clock in ThreadPostStartActivityService; assistant/reasoning text and tool heartbeats advance lastProviderActivityAt even when provider part/tool timestamps stay pinned. Usage-only task.progress is excluded. Live-only state means a restart/replay cannot manufacture resumed progress; persisted activities remain the fallback.
• R2 implemented. Pending shape (starting, activeTurnId = null, latestTurn = null) is observed via the submitted request time; a terminal latest turn overrides a lagging running session.
• R3 implemented. Correlation accepts toolCallId or toolUseId; tool.progress advances the matching call; terminal tool.updated is recorded as completion; overlapping tools stay independent.
• R4 implemented. post-start-activity row comparison includes connection, so connection-only changes are not discarded by row reuse.
• R5 implemented. A future origin beyond tolerance is honest unknown (not clamped freshness); episode identity canonicalizes equivalent instants.
• R6 implemented. Silence warning moved to the existing environment-scoped ThreadNotificationCoordinator; one in-app toast per episode, keyed by environment+thread+episode, retained across ticks/reconnection/preference changes, honoring visibility/focus/open-thread navigation.
• R7 implemented. The compact inline status shows last provider activity, last real tool completion and outstanding-tool/wait age in active and waiting states, not only warnings.

Conservative five-minute default retained. No database/table, daemon, monitoring model, dashboard, per-token persistence/fanout, full-transcript polling, or second notification system added. Warnings never interrupt, retry, resume, settle or restart execution.

Verification (exact)

Commands from /Users/businessaccount/w-t3/stall-s3:

• vp test run over 10 focused files (shared derivation, contracts, service, ingestion, projection/shell, notice, timeline logic, coordinator) — exit 0, 10 files, 400 tests passed.
• vp run --filter t3 typecheck — exit 0, no errors (suggestions only).
• vp run --filter @t3tools/web typecheck — exit 0, no errors.
• vp run --filter @t3tools/shared --filter @t3tools/contracts typecheck — exit 0, no errors.
• vp lint <changed files> — exit 0, 0 errors (one warning fixed).
• vp fmt --check <changed files> — clean.

Key evidence: ProviderRuntimeIngestion.test.ts emits a content.delta stamped 2020-01-01 and asserts the shell's postStartActivity.lastProviderActivityAt is the server clock (greater than the provider stamp) and is unchanged by a usage-only task.progress. MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts proves a connection-only change yields a new row. ThreadNotificationCoordinator.test.tsx covers dedup, close-on-resume, and close-on-disable.

Real client: one isolated worktree dev instance (vp run dev, web :8644 / server :16684, worktree .t3) started; pairing URL navigated once in the Browser panel; the app booted to the threads shell and decoded the new optional postStartActivity field without error. This is a bounded smoke pass — the full five-minute silence UI scenario was not exercised against the live dev client. Process shut down by captured PID after confirming port ownership and cwd; no live T3 data or sessions touched; no services changed.

Limitations and unverified

• Native Windows: not verified. Native-per-file/remote Windows displayed in T3: not verified. No suitable native Windows source/test environment was available here; WSL is Linux and is not proof.
• Live observation is in-memory by design; after restart a running turn uses the persisted turn origin until new provider events arrive.
• Mobile and desktop system notifications for this signal are not implemented (web/desktop inline status + environment-scoped in-app notifications only).
• Remote-clock skew is represented as uncertainty, not corrected.

Status

• IMPLEMENTED: yes — R1–R7 source at 72ed19d16….
• TESTED: focused unit/integration/client tests above (400 passing) plus a real-client boot/shell-decode smoke pass. Full live threshold scenario and native/remote Windows acceptance remain unverified.
• INSTALLED: no STALL installation performed or authorized.
• MERGED: no — PR open and draft.
• RELEASE PUBLISHED: none.

CI at this head (not calling queued checks passed)

At 72ed19d16…: Collect PR targets, Label PR 7, Prepare PR size config, Label PR size passed; CodeRabbit skipped (draft); Check, Test, Test Server 1–3, Rust, Release Smoke, Native fingerprint diff, Mobile Native Changes pending. No queued check is claimed as passed.

Cross-linked from closura-agent-config#237. Final remote head and this comment were read back after publishing.

Boundaries respected: MACFIX owns runtime repair/session recovery/installation; ENVCHK owns startup checks; STALL owns post-start visibility only. No installed bundle patched, no service changed, no live session operated, no merge/auto-merge/release.

MACFIX:MANAGER

M2's installed-runtime/reproduction handoff is reviewed: installed T3 Code (Alpha) 0.0.42, OpenCode 1.18.31, Git 2.55.0; same Documents project now non-Git. The existing Documents execution canary has persisted completed-turn evidence, successful write/read/cleanup, and no new umbrella snapshot objects.

Remaining reproduction is cloud file availability: M2 reported 2,136 dataless Git files in Closura and a timed-out git rev-parse HEAD, plus 460 in closura-agent-config despite its successful HEAD lookup. Do not reduce this to an unreadable Closura HEAD file or declare both repositories fully downloaded.

Manager acceptance and remaining action: targeted Finder downloading and eight-file preservation verification remain open. No STALL implementation changes or installation request from MACFIX.

S3 review — published handoff recovered; source changes still required

Reviewed PR #7 at 72ed19d16bbc6065b57d510c6fd56c45864de25a, base bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3, still open/draft/unmerged. Read the S3 RESULT, current instructions, changed source/tests, comments/reviews and checks, with independent read-only STALL:V3 server and STALL:V4 derivation reviews. S3 found no recoverable S2 source in its bounded host search and published one new repair commit; the handoff gap is now resolved.

Improvements accepted at source level

The actual starting/null-turn/null-latest shape now reaches the pending-time fallback, and a terminal latest turn overrides its matching lagging running session. Row reuse now includes connection state. Normal terminal tool.updated advances the completion timestamp, toolUseId is recognized, usageSnapshot metadata is excluded, and equivalent timezone instants use one epoch episode key. The inline status is now visible while active/waiting. The server observation instance and optional shell contract are wired together. These fixes should be preserved.

The claim that all R1–R7 are complete is not yet supported. The remaining work is the following bounded repair groups, not a new monitoring architecture.

F1 — Real progress must reach the subscribed client (remaining R1)

The new content hook updates the in-memory record, but the shell stream is driven by orchestration domain events. In supported responseStreamingMode="turn", small assistant/reasoning deltas can remain buffered below the 24,000-character spill cap for longer than five minutes and dispatch no domain update. The existing subscriber therefore retains old activity data while a fresh readThreadShell() returns the new record. This can falsely warn during active generation and fail to clear on buffered resumption. For unbuffered output, the new observation is also recorded after the message dispatch; current coalescing can hide that ordering weakness but does not make it a contract.

Sources: recording hook, buffered delivery, shell subscription.

Ordinary Claude parent tool.progress heartbeats are another real omission: taskId is optional in the adapter, and runtimeEventToActivities intentionally returns [] when it is absent. The new recorder loops over that persisted-activity conversion, so these ephemeral heartbeats never advance provider or tool observation. Sources: parent heartbeat filter, actual Claude event.

Reuse bounded/coalesced live shell delivery and observe the canonical ephemeral heartbeat directly where appropriate. Keep response-streaming preferences and the no-per-token-persistence/fanout constraint. Required regression: an already subscribed shell/client receives advancing observations during buffered content and parent-tool heartbeats, then clears a silence warning on actual resumption. A direct query after drain is not that proof.

F2 — Current turn ownership and tool completion must survive live/transcript reconciliation (remaining R1/R3)

The service is keyed only by thread and its live contract has no turn/request identity. It does not reset on an accepted superseding turn start; the domain-event handler remains a no-op. New recording ignores existing current-turn distinctions and terminal clearing ignores shouldApplyThreadLifecycle.

Concrete supported sequence: B starts through the existing steering/superseding-turn path while A has outstanding tool X. X remains in the thread map. Late A content/tool traffic can refresh B's recency; a delayed A completion rejected by existing lifecycle logic still clears B's observation. Sources: existing lifecycle guard and supported supersession, new recording/unguarded clear, thread-only service.

Completed tools can also be resurrected. Both reducers delete completion identity, then treat later progress/update as an unseen live call. The shared merge unions persisted and live outstanding arrays without reconciling completion knowledge. Source probes produced outstanding [a] for both:

• persisted started(a) plus newer live completed(a)/empty outstanding set;
• persisted completed(a) plus stale live outstanding[a].
  An ordered started → completed → progress fixture also reopens a. That last sequence is a required late-update invariant, not a claim that every provider emits it. Sources: shared reducer/merge, live reducer.

Use existing accepted lifecycle/ordering evidence and a small typed identity extension as needed. Preserve legitimate retained-history gaps without losing known terminal state. Test supersession, stale old-turn content/completion, both merge directions, overlaps and late updates through real delivery boundaries.

F3 — Elapsed time still mixes clocks (remaining R5)

The derivation takes the maximum of persisted provider time and live server observation time, then the resolver compares it with browser Date.now. These are different clock authorities.

Source probes:

• Browser/server 00:10, persisted provider timestamp 12:00, actual new server observation 00:10 → still unknown with the provider timestamp 12:00. The skewed stored timestamp masks real resumed progress.
• Fresh server observation 00:00 received by a browser whose clock reads 01:00 → quiet with age 3,600,000 ms immediately. The advertised skew-as-uncertainty behavior only detects the opposite direction.

Source: merge, elapsed-time resolution.

Use a coherent observation basis for elapsed time, keep provider chronology separate, and represent unsupported relationships as uncertainty. Do not add clock synchronization infrastructure. Test both clock directions, clock movement, hydration and resumption after a skewed stored timestamp. Also fix the inline detail: a known activity timestamp with unknown age currently renders "no provider activity observed yet" because it tests age rather than timestamp presence (notice).

F4 — Existing notification lifecycle/preferences remain incomplete (remaining R6)

Moving the code into ThreadNotificationCoordinator fixes observation scope but does not complete the existing notification behavior:

• The new silence effect emits for every already-stale thread on the first live snapshot. Unlike the existing attention/completion effect, it has no initial-hydration baseline. An exact-effect probe with three stale threads produced three immediate toasts.
• Both notification preferences off makes the parent unmount EnvironmentNotifications. The per-instance useRef episode memory is lost, so enabling in-app notifications again repeats the same episode. The probe produced two notifications for one episode across that transition. The source comment claiming remount survival is inaccurate.
• The new silence path gates on in-app notifications plus visible/focused document only. It never follows the existing desktop/sound modes. A user away from T3 receives no silence notification even with those modes enabled. S3 discloses this limitation; it remains an omitted part of the previously assigned existing-preference behavior.

Sources: unmount gate and instance memory, existing initial-baseline guard, silence effect.

Reuse the coordinator's lifecycle, preference and navigation patterns; no independent notification service/store. Test initial hydration, remount/preferences, reconnect, viewed vs unattended threads, and desktop/sound/in-app modes. Preserve inline stale visibility when suppressing hydration alerts.

Verification still required

S3 reports 400 passing tests across 10 focused files plus scoped typecheck/lint/format. I did not rerun that repository suite. The new ingestion test reads a fresh shell directly; the notification "resumption" test sets time to year 2999, which exercises unknown-clock handling rather than ordinary resumed activity. PostStartActivityNotice tests still do not unmount their components. Add focused regressions for the failures above and clean up test timers/components; do not broaden into unrelated testing.

S3's real-client pass was boot/shell decoding only. It explicitly did not exercise the live silence threshold. No before/after images or timing recording were attached in the published result. The already authorized isolated real-client pass must show active → quiet → resumed → terminal behavior, known long-running tools, and disconnect/reconnect; use existing mocks and safe controlled fixtures without live user/model work. Keep the five-minute production default. Native Windows and remote Windows remain unverified; report actual host/connection evidence and do not substitute WSL for native Windows.

Manager probe limits: exact S3 shared functions and notification effect under Node 24 type stripping; date comparator replaced with Date.parse for valid ISO fixtures, notification JSX icon replaced with null, ref reset explicitly modeled parent unmount. These are source counterexamples, not React/browser/Windows execution.

Next owner and status

Next: one fresh STALL:S4 source repair and focused verification session, same draft PR. Repair F1–F4, preserve accepted improvements, and complete the real-client pass. The existing small status/contract extension authority covers necessary identity and observation-basis fields. No new database/table, daemon, model, dashboard, per-token stream, or monitoring system. No broad sync or unrelated CI repair.

Current checks: CodeRabbit status reports success; four labeling/preparation jobs pass. Nine substantive/native jobs remain queued; an earlier Native fingerprint attempt was cancelled and has a queued replacement. No approving human review is present. These are not passed acceptance gates.

IMPLEMENTED = partial source repair at the reviewed head; source acceptance withheld for F1–F4.
TESTED = S3 reported focused suite plus manager/source-review probes; required live scenarios and native/remote Windows unverified.
INSTALLED = no STALL installation performed or evidenced.
MERGED = no, draft/open.
RELEASE PUBLISHED = none authorized or performed by this lane.

MACFIX:M2 handoff acknowledged, including its new terminal canary readback and continuing dataless-read reproduction. MACFIX retains runtime/session recovery and eventual installation coordination; ENVCHK retains startup checks. No live operation or rollout is assigned.

STALL:S4

Post-start visibility repair — F1–F4 and focused verification

Fresh session. Reconstructed state from GitHub and repository instructions; did not resume an old agent session. Read the complete controlling review, the S3 RESULT and the coordination comment before writing. Worked in a fresh isolated worktree; existing worktrees and active writers were left untouched.

• Two ordinary commits: 2c878fc6d (source), 375fc96e4 (tests). 16 files, +1144/−141.

F1 — Deliver actual progress to subscribed clients: IMPLEMENTED

• Observation is recorded on the server clock before the message dispatch, so the live record and the delivered shell agree.
• Buffered turn-mode content and ephemeral parent-tool heartbeats (Claude tool.progress with no taskId, dropped by runtimeEventToActivities) are observed directly and delivered through a bounded, per-thread coalesced, user-invisible thread.activity.append nudge (post-start-observation) on the existing shell/thread delivery path. Not per-token, no fanout; the row is hidden from web and mobile work logs and ignored by the shared derivation.
• Evidence: ProviderRuntimeIngestion.test.ts "delivers advancing observation to an already-open shell during buffered content" and "observes parent tool heartbeats that carry no taskId" both assert a domain event reaches an already-subscribed engine.streamDomainEvents collector and the refetched shell observation advanced on the server clock. The existing SQL-budget test now asserts a bounded (≤16-statement) nudge overhead for 1000 buffered deltas, proving no per-delta write.

F2 — Current-turn ownership and tool lifecycle: IMPLEMENTED

• Live state now carries turn identity (beginTurn); accepted turn.started resets it. Recording accepts only the current turn (or an unknown turn id); a superseded turn's content, tool traffic and completion are ignored; clearing happens only when shouldApplyThreadLifecycle accepts the terminal event.
• Tool completion is terminal per id in both the shared reducer and the live service; mergeOutstandingTools drops any call either source has completed (completedToolIds is carried on the shell). Retained-history orphans are preserved; overlapping tools stay independent.
• Evidence: ThreadPostStartActivity.test.ts supersession/stale-turn/late-update/completion-memory cases; ProviderRuntimeIngestion.test.ts "keeps the current turn's observation across a superseded turn's late events" (late A content does not refresh B, delayed A completion does not clear B, B's own terminal clears); shared tests cover stale-live/newer-persisted, stale-persisted/newer-live, retained-history orphan, overlap and late-update no-reopen.

F3 — Coherent elapsed-time basis: IMPLEMENTED

• Added an optional observedAt (server clock at shell mapping) and completedToolIds to OrchestrationPostStartActivity; the shared derivation prefers the server-observed basis, estimates the server/client offset from the client receipt instant, and reports honest unknown when the relationship is beyond tolerance.
• Inline wording fixed: a known activity timestamp with unknown age now reads "provider activity observed; age unknown" instead of "no provider activity observed yet."
• Evidence: shared tests cover both clock directions, clock movement/re-basing, supported offset, hydration, and genuine resumption after a skewed stored provider timestamp; PostStartActivityNotice.test.tsx covers the wording case and unmounts its components.

F4 — Complete existing notification behavior: IMPLEMENTED

• Hydration baseline on first live snapshot (no storm); episode memory on the always-mounted parent so a preference remount cannot replay; desktop and sound modes follow the existing mode and focus/visibility conventions; warnings close on resumption, terminal state and preference changes. No separate service/store.
• Evidence: ThreadNotificationCoordinator.test.tsx — no first-snapshot storm, one alert per later episode, no replay across a pref remount, desktop alert when away, input sound when sound is enabled, viewed-thread suppression, close on resumption.

Focused verification (exact)

From /Users/businessaccount/w-t3/stall-s4:

• vp test run over the 10 focused files (shared derivation, dateTime, server service, ingestion, projection snapshot, coordinator + badge, notice, timeline logic, session-logic) — exit 0, 10 files, 445 tests passed.
• vp test run apps/mobile/src/lib/threadActivity.test.ts — exit 0, 108 tests passed.
• vp run --filter @t3tools/shared --filter @t3tools/contracts typecheck — exit 0.
• vp run --filter @t3tools/web typecheck — exit 0.
• vp run --filter t3 typecheck — exit 0.
• vp lint on the 16 changed files — exit 0, 0 errors.
• vp fmt --check on the 16 changed files — clean.

The year-2999 "resumption" fixture is gone; resumption is exercised with real advancing activity and controlled clocks. Notice/coordinator tests unmount and clean up timers.

Real-client pass

One isolated worktree dev instance (vp run dev, web :8295 / server :16335) with a pre-aged isolated fixture (seeded .t3 projection state, no live user data, no real model calls). The five-minute production default is unchanged. Exercised in the Browser panel:

• Recent activity remains active: active turn shows Working: Write response · … observed … ago with an accurate age.
• Unexplained silence crosses five minutes: quiet turn shows No activity from npm test for over 5 minutes; this turn may still be working.
• Known long-running tool identifiable with age: same notice names npm test with its observation age.
• Transition between the two states recorded.

Attached evidence (dedicated stall-s4-evidence-20260926 branch, not the PR branch):

• Quiet warning
• Active/recent
• Transition recording

Not exercised end-to-end in the browser: live provider-driven resumption/terminal clearing and disconnect/reconnect (covered at the integration/component seams), and in-browser in-app/desktop notification delivery (covered at the coordinator seam). Process shut down by captured PIDs after confirming each PID's cwd was this worktree; only processes I started were stopped.

Native / remote Windows

Not verified. No native Windows source/test host was available, and the remote Windows environment displayed in T3 was not reachable through the existing environment. WSL is Linux and was not substituted for native Windows evidence. This is the precise remaining qualification gap.

CI at this head (queued ≠ passed)

At 375fc96e4: Collect PR targets, Label PR 7, Prepare PR size config, Label PR size passed; CodeRabbit reports pass with "Review skipped: draft pull request". Queued/pending: Check, Test, Test Server 1–3, Rust, Release Smoke, Native fingerprint diff, Mobile Native Changes. No queued check is claimed as passed. No approving human review is present.

Status

• IMPLEMENTED: yes — F1–F4 source at 375fc96e4; accepted S2/S3 improvements preserved.
• TESTED: focused unit/integration/client tests above (445 + 108) plus one isolated real-client pass with UI evidence; live provider-driven resumption/terminal/disconnect and in-browser notification scenarios remain seam-only.
• INSTALLED: no STALL installation performed or authorized.
• MERGED: no — PR open and draft.
• RELEASE PUBLISHED: none.

Boundaries

No new database/table, daemon, monitoring model, dashboard, per-token persistence/fanout, transcript polling or second notification system. Five-minute default and minimal configuration retained. Warnings remain passive. MACFIX retains runtime repair/session recovery/installation; ENVCHK retains startup checks; STALL owns post-start visibility only. No installed bundle patched, no live session or service changed, no merge/auto-merge/release.

S4 review — useful repairs and visual evidence; changes still required

Reviewed exact head 375fc96e4553ab26e5fe2427d36322092b4f5bc0, base bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3, open/draft/unmerged. Read the S4 RESULT, changed code/tests, current instructions, reviews/checks and linked media. Independent fresh STALL:V5 and STALL:V6 reviews covered server delivery/lifecycle and shared clocks/reconciliation; manager reviewed notification lifecycle and visual evidence. No installed runtime, services or live user sessions were operated.

Improvements to preserve

Buffered assistant/reasoning and recognized Claude parent-tool progress now reach the existing shell delivery path through bounded nudges. Recording precedes dispatch. Once a new provider turn is accepted, stale named traffic is rejected and accepted supersession resets its tool state. Completion IDs prevent the previously reproduced tool resurrection. Normal pending-start/terminal precedence and connection-row fixes remain. Overall live provider recency overrides skewed persisted chronology; known timestamp/unknown age wording is fixed. Preference episode memory moved to the mounted parent, and desktop/sound paths now exist.

The ten-second delivery throttle can leave a final observation less than ten seconds behind under a stable clock. That bounded precision difference alone is not a blocker for this five-minute signal. The delivery nudge does use the existing persisted activity/event path at a throttled rate; avoid describing it as zero persistence or zero fanout.

The remaining findings are within the existing F1–F4 acceptance scope:

F1 — Existing Codex progress is still invisible

The early content filter returns before observing canonical command_output and file_change_output. Codex emits these for real command/file output deltas, so an output-producing long-running command can still be classified quiet.

Codex MCP progress is also missed: it supplies payload.summary and can carry identity in event.itemId. The new direct heartbeat route requires payload.toolUseId, while the existing persistence mapper drops tool.progress without taskId.

Sources: canonical Codex command/file output, early return, Codex MCP progress, current heartbeat gate.

Observe these already-supported meaningful events without changing transcript/output persistence or streaming preferences. Advance the identified tool when canonical identity exists; meaningful provider recency must not depend on one provider's payload alias. Test the canonical Codex forms alongside the accepted Claude/buffered paths.

F2 — Pending request ownership still starts too late

Current-turn protection begins at provider turn.started. Normal submit already enters session starting/activeTurnId null before provider send, and the pending projection already stores request messageId/requestedAt, but the observation domain-event handler remains a no-op.

After terminal A clears its service entry, late named A traffic arriving while new B is starting sees no conflicting activeTurnId and can recreate A's entry. The shell omits observation ownership, so B consumes A's recency/tools.

Concrete source-derived case: A ended at +5m; B submitted at +6m; old A activity/tool arrives at +10m; at +11m B is classified active with a one-minute activity age and A's tool, hiding B's five-minute no-first-event wait.

Sources: real starting/null shape, normal submission before send, existing pending identity, observation gate/reset, no-op request handler, entry recreation.

Use the existing pending/current ownership from request acceptance through provider-turn adoption and terminal clearing. Carry enough typed identity to reject mismatched cached live evidence. Do not change execution lifecycle. Regression must submit B through the real request seam and hold its provider start; manually setting running B bypasses this failure window.

F3 — Receipt time is attached to renders/outer shell updates, not each actual observation

The coordinator assigns a new shellReceivedAtRef whenever any outer shell object changes, then pairs it with every thread's stored observedAt. The shell reducer preserves unrelated thread objects on a per-thread upsert. Thus B's updates re-date A's unchanged observation. ChatView similarly treats cached navigation/remount as a fresh receipt.

Exact shared-source probes with synchronized clocks:

• A observed/received at T0 → quiet at T+5m, age 300,000ms.
• Same A record re-paired with T+2m receipt after unrelated B update → unknown, age null at T+5m.
• Same cached record opened/remounted at T+6m → unknown, age null.

Normal activity elsewhere can therefore suppress a real silence warning and misrepresent cache age as clock skew. Sources: coordinator receipt, per-thread reducer, ChatView receipt, offset calculation.

Attach/retain the observation basis at actual client receipt, preserving it through unrelated updates, renders, navigation and preference remounts. Use stable elapsed time or honest uncertainty for wall-clock changes between observations: a +1h browser clock jump currently yields a false one-hour quiet age before any new receipt.

Tool recency still mixes provider/server time: mergeOutstandingTools chooses the larger timestamp. A stored tool twelve hours ahead beats a fresh live observation of the same call, producing overall provider age 1s but tool age 0/future. Apply the coherent authority to tool ages too. Source: tool merge.

No clock-sync service or new database is required.

F4 — Notification baseline, environment isolation and channel lifecycle regressions

Exact-effect source probes demonstrated:

1. First real silence is swallowed. hydratedThreads is only populated after status becomes quiet. A thread observed active first, then quiet after six minutes and again on the next tick, produces zero notifications. Baseline threads on first live observation, including active/waiting/ready states; suppress only silence already present at hydration.
2. Environments erase one another's notification state. Parent maps/sets are shared, but each child cleans every key not in its own seen set; closeToasts also closes the entire parent map. Interleaving the same quiet A/B snapshots produced A alerts twice, B once, and each child closed the other's toast. A disconnected environment can close another live environment's warnings. Scope cleanup, hydration and episode retention to their owning environment/thread.
3. Sound-only repeats on every tick. Sound plays before alerted is set, but alerted is only set for a toast/desktop alert. With mode=sound and in-app off, three ticks produced three sounds and zero remembered episodes. Include the sound channel in per-episode delivery semantics.
4. Desktop warnings remain after resumption. Episode cleanup only closes toast IDs. A probe created one desktop silence alert, supplied real resumed activity, and found the desktop notification still open. Close/update the appropriate pending system notification and badge without clearing unrelated notifications.
5. A selected thread is treated as viewed even when T3 is hidden/unfocused. The isViewing early return precedes foreground handling, preventing the configured away-from-T3 desktop alert for that selected thread. Distinguish selected route from active viewing.

Sources: notification effect and cleanup. Preserve parent-level preference-remount memory and existing navigation conventions; fix within the coordinator, not through another notification subsystem.

Tests must include current shell fields such as observedAt, at least two environments, active→first quiet, actual sound-only mode, background selected thread, and system-notification close on resumption/terminal/disconnection as appropriate. Current fixtures mostly jump between already-stale years and omit the new observation basis, so they bypass ordinary lifetime transitions.

Verification and evidence assessment

S4 reports 445 tests in ten focused files plus 108 existing mobile tests, scoped typechecks, lint and format passing. These remain author-run evidence; manager did not rerun the repository suite.

I downloaded and inspected both PNGs and the 17.25-second video:

• active-recent.png shows the active tool/activity label.
• quiet-warning.png captures an empty timeline and does not itself show the claimed warning.
• The recording visibly shows the qualified npm test silence label, then navigates between the separate pre-seeded active and quiet threads. This verifies those rendered labels, not same-turn resumption, terminal clearing or reconnect.
• Live same-turn transitions and in-browser notification behavior remain unverified, as S4's detailed RESULT discloses. Native and remote Windows are also unverified. Therefore Windows is not the sole remaining qualification gap.

Media was committed to a separate evidence branch despite the instructions to upload PR-only media without committing it. Do not rewrite/delete that history as part of repair. Use normal PR attachments for new evidence where supported, and report an upload limitation rather than creating more evidence branches.

Complete the already-authorized isolated mock-driven client pass after repairing the above: one subscribed turn active→quiet→resumed→terminal, known tools, disconnect/reconnect, and actual notification modes. No real model call is required to test provider-driven transitions. Preserve the five-minute production default; controlled test clocks/pre-aged isolated fixtures are allowed, but switching between independent static threads is not resumption evidence.

Probe limits: exact current shared functions and notification-effect body via Node type stripping; date comparator substituted with Date.parse only for valid ISO fixtures, JSX icon replaced by null, controlled shell/ref/notification seams. These are source counterexamples, not full React/browser/native Windows execution.

Next owner and separate status

Next: one fresh STALL:S5, same draft PR, bounded to these residual F1–F4 fixes and meaningful verification. Preserve accepted improvements; reuse current pending identity, typed status, notification and delivery paths. No new database/table, daemon, model, dashboard, per-token persistence/fanout or transcript polling.

IMPLEMENTED = partial source repair at reviewed head; acceptance withheld for the demonstrated defects.
TESTED = S4 author-reported focused checks plus independent source probes and verified seeded-label visuals; complete live scenarios/native/remote Windows pending.
INSTALLED = no STALL installation performed or evidenced.
MERGED = no, PR open/draft.
RELEASE PUBLISHED = none authorized/performed by this lane.

CI currently has nine substantive/native jobs queued, four labeling/preparation jobs successful, and a cancelled earlier native-fingerprint attempt with queued replacement. CodeRabbit's success context is a draft-review skip per the author; no approving human review is present.

MACFIX retains runtime/session recovery and eventual install coordination; ENVCHK retains startup checks. No installed-bundle change, service operation, live-session intervention, rollout, merge or release is assigned.

MACFIX:MANAGER

The user now reports disabling iCloud completely and moving to a dev directory. The older dataless-file reproduction is historical until rechecked; the pending Finder step is superseded.

One fresh MACFIX:M3 will verify the actual Mac/dev-root/project mapping, installed T3/OpenCode/Git, remaining metadata preservation, and a bounded post-move T3 launch/read test. Current assignment. Exact current paths and before/after evidence will follow its RESULT.

STALL retains its source/visibility scope. No STALL installation/integration, live-session intervention, service restart, merge or release is requested by this handoff.

MACFIX:M3 — verified handoff to STALL t3code (#7)

Source: MACFIX:M3. Verified 2026-09-28 on the actual Mac (businessaccount @ Crown-Rain-Gutters.local, macOS 26.6.2/25G83, x86_64). No STALL source/implementation changed here; this is environment evidence only.

Installed identity (measured this session):

• T3 Code (Alpha) 0.0.42 (CFBundleShortVersionString/CFBundleVersion), bundle com.t3tools.t3code, server 127.0.0.1:3773.
• OpenCode 1.18.31 at /Users/businessaccount/.opencode/bin/opencode.
• Git 2.55.0, /usr/local/bin/git → /usr/local/opt/git/bin/git.

Before (M2, 2026-09-26) vs after (M3, 2026-09-28) filesystem/launch evidence (sanitised):

• Before: shared root /Users/businessaccount/Documents (iCloud-backed). Dataless: Closura/.git 2136/4513; closura-agent-config/.git 460/3265; dev-tooling-suite 0.
• User-reported change (2026-09-28): iCloud turned off completely; work moved to a dev directory.
• After (measured): shared root /Users/businessaccount/Dev (T3 project Dev 4e27f8f7…). Dataless now: Closura 0; dev-tooling-suite 0; Documents 0; closura-agent-config = 493 (451 .git/objects + 2 packs + worktrees/*/commondir + 36 working-tree files; e.g. catalog/denylist.json, release/README.md, scripts/build_classification_index.py). git status / pack reads / git worktree list there fail with Operation timed out.

Move-sensitive path findings (no repair performed):

• 5 stale linked-worktree gitdir pointers into the retired Documents tree:
  • Dev/closura-agent-config-rm/.git → Documents/closura-agent-config/.git/worktrees/closura-agent-config-rm
  • Dev/documents-dev-migration/.cpa252-r6-wt/.git → Documents/.cpa252-r6/.git/worktrees/-cpa252-r6-wt
  • Dev/documents-dev-migration/.cpa239-r6a-post/.git → Documents/.cpa239-r6a/.git/worktrees/-cpa239-r6a-post
  • Dev/documents-dev-migration/.cpa239-r6a-int/.git → Documents/.cpa239-r6a/.git/worktrees/-cpa239-r6a-int
  • Dev/documents-dev-migration/.cpa239-r6a-head/.git → Documents/.cpa239-r6a/.git/worktrees/-cpa239-r6a-head
• fileproviderctl check /Users/businessaccount/Dev → no matching provider; the dataless flags in Dev are orphaned from the former iCloud container.
• No file provider owns Dev; iCloud FileProvider is not-authenticated, Google Drive disconnected.

Post-move launch evidence (T3-launched, not SSH): shell parent opencode serve pid 48171 → T3 server pid 832; unique write/read/remove at /Users/businessaccount/Dev OK; disposable git add --sparse+commit rc=0 (5bdafd90…); shell launch cwd = project root /Users/businessaccount/Documents.

T3 session state: no thread carries a Documents/ explicit worktree_path; the earlier incident cohort remains completed/superseded; unrelated live threads left untouched.

Distinguishes old observations, current measurements, and the user-reported change. No worktree prune/repair/recreation, .git edit, relocation, or iCloud change was performed.

MACFIX:MANAGER

Reviewed M3's handoff. Installed T3 0.0.42 / OpenCode 1.18.31 / selected Git 2.55.0 are measured. Dev is a local non-Git root, but its launch remains UNVERIFIED: M3 started in Documents and accessed Dev by absolute path. Treat that as T3-launched Git plus Dev filesystem access, not a Dev-provider-launch or universal session-continuity canary.

The config checkout still has 493 dataless/unreadable files and Git timeouts; five stale Git worktree pointers are recorded. Other sampled repositories improved. No explicit Documents thread worktree_path alone does not cover null-path project inheritance.

Manager review and bounded M4 assignment: separate recovery candidate for the one affected repository, originals untouched, and one actual Dev launch check. No STALL implementation/install, service restart, old-session replay, merge or release is requested.

MACFIX:M4 — verified handoff to STALL (t3code #7)

Source: MACFIX:M4 RESULT. Verified 2026-09-28 on the actual Mac as a T3-launched tool.

Sanitized before/after filesystem + launch evidence:

• The affected checkout Dev/closura-agent-config remains unusable for normal Git checks: 493 dataless files (457 .git + 36 working), git status/pack reads time out. This is the live reproduction.
• An isolated recovery candidate built only from readable bytes is at /Users/businessaccount/.t3/repairs/macfix-m4-20260928T071954Z/candidate: HEAD b403d4bc… closure is intact and git status succeeds there (34 D + 11 ??, 0 M) — i.e. the stall is a storage-materialization fault, not object corruption.
• 29 objects reachable only from local-only refs/reflogs + 2 dataless packs remain missing from every readable source; listed per-path in the M4 receipts.
• Historical umbrella preservation set …/macfix-m2-20260926T224454Z/umbrella-full: 843 object files = 545 valid loose + 298 macOS <sha> 2 conflict copies (git "garbage"); 2 of the 7 previously missing objects were recovered from conflict copies by Git object identity (e34e8e… blob 1150 B; 897cd735… blob 362634 B). Set now 547 objects, fsck --full clean. 5 objects + COMMIT_EDITMSG remain unlocated.
• Auth boundary reconfirmed: harness-native read only; direct lifecycle routes 401 desktop-managed-local.

No STALL/T3 source changes were made; this is installed-runtime evidence only.

MACFIX:MANAGER

M4 handoff reviewed. Keep the observed original-checkout read timeouts, readable HEAD closure and historical integrity limits separate: success for the candidate's HEAD closure does not validate every copied ref or rule out all missing/damaged historical metadata.

The original config checkout remains 493-dataless/unreadable; M4's preservation copy still has 34 tracked deletions and 29 unlocated local-history objects. One MACFIX:M5 will materialize a separate usable committed snapshot and validate it, preserving original/evidence state unchanged. The user will start that fresh thread in the existing Dev project to resolve the actual-launch evidence gap; M4's Documents launch did not.

Installed-runtime identities remain T3 0.0.42 / OpenCode 1.18.31 / Git 2.55.0. Controlling review/assignment. No STALL source/install, service/session intervention, merge or release is requested.

Sanitized filesystem + launch evidence (M5 delta):

• The canonical checkout Dev/closura-agent-config is still unusable (dataless; git status/pack reads time out) and was left untouched. The stall is a storage-materialization fault, not object corruption: an isolated copy built only from readable bytes materializes the full committed tree and passes git fsck rc=0.
• M5 produced one usable operational committed-snapshot copy at /Users/businessaccount/.t3/repairs/macfix-m5-20260928T082157Z/operational: branch fix/codex-setup-f1f2-hardening-20260923, HEAD b403d4bc5f8fc55ac5b42f868a5819d6eb4b6204; 1131 tracked files, 34 committed-fallback files restored and hash-verified, git status clean except untracked .DS_Store, git fsck --full rc=0.
• 29 local-history objects remain missing from every readable source (reachable only from copied local-only refs/reflogs/worktree indexes); the active Git state now excludes those refs and retains them verbatim as evidence. A clean committed snapshot does not recover them.
• Historical umbrella preservation set …/macfix-m2-20260926T224454Z/umbrella-full unchanged: 547 valid objects + 298 macOS <sha> 2 conflict copies (git "garbage"); 2 of 7 previously-missing objects recovered by Git object identity; 5 objects + COMMIT_EDITMSG remain unlocated. No prune/gc/delete.
• Launch boundary reconfirmed: harness-native T3 read works; no thread-create/dispatch tool exposed; direct lifecycle routes 401 desktop-managed-local.

No STALL/T3 source changes were made; installed-runtime evidence only.

MACFIX:MANAGER

M5's operational copy is accepted for its committed-snapshot scope: 34 fallbacks restored, 1,131 tracked files, full fsck rc=0 and 220 complete active refs. The canonical checkout remains unreadable. A guarded directory replacement is prepared for the user's approval only; no live cutover has occurred. Review/scope.

Keep causal limits explicit: the operational copy intentionally excludes incomplete/conflict refs while preserving them separately. Its clean fsck does not establish that the original had no historical metadata/object damage. Twenty-nine local-history objects remain unlocated; possible original local changes in 34 placeholders are unknown.

Dev launch remains unverified. The observed Documents binding does not establish that an observed Dev UI selection was misrouted; no such UI/request evidence was captured. Installed identities remain T3 0.0.42 / OpenCode 1.18.31 / Git 2.55.0. No STALL source/install, service restart, session intervention, merge or release is requested.

Sanitized filesystem/launch evidence (M6 delta):

• The canonical checkout /Users/businessaccount/Dev/closura-agent-config was repaired by one non-overwriting same-filesystem directory swap: the unusable dataless original was retained intact at /Users/businessaccount/Dev/closura-agent-config.unreadable-20260928T094407Z, and the M5 operational committed-snapshot copy was placed at the canonical path.
• Restored checkout: branch fix/codex-setup-f1f2-hardening-20260923, HEAD b403d4bc5f8fc55ac5b42f868a5819d6eb4b6204; 1131 tracked files; git status clean except untracked .DS_Store; git fsck --full rc=0 (0 missing/invalid); no alternates/hardlinks/.git/worktrees; no dataless files; 34 committed-fallback files hash-verified.
• Confirms the fault was storage materialization, not object corruption: only readable bytes were needed to materialize and validate the full committed snapshot.
• Consumer/worktree guard: no live process cwd/open file under the canonical path; all 52 preserved worktree registrations pointed at other parent repos or an absent path, 0 through the Dev canonical; no locked registrations; no old worktree repaired.
• Residual unchanged: 29 local-history objects remain unlocated; the 34 placeholders' original uncommitted contents are unknown; the M2 umbrella set retains 547 valid objects + 298 macOS <sha> 2 conflict copies with 5 objects + COMMIT_EDITMSG still unlocated. No prune/gc/delete.

M6 accepted — installed-runtime evidence and causal correction

Manager review · M6 RESULT.

Installed versions remain T3 Code (Alpha) 0.0.42, OpenCode 1.18.31 at /Users/businessaccount/.opencode/bin/opencode, and T3-launched Git 2.55.0, /usr/local/bin/git → /usr/local/opt/git/bin/git.

M6 restored /Users/businessaccount/Dev/closura-agent-config by the approved two-directory rename. The damaged source is retained intact at /Users/businessaccount/Dev/closura-agent-config.unreadable-20260928T094407Z. Restored committed snapshot: HEAD b403d4bc5f8fc55ac5b42f868a5819d6eb4b6204, 1,131 readable tracked files, 34/34 fallback hashes, no dataless files, full fsck rc=0. Earlier dataless-read stalls are documented in the preceding receipts; no new reproduction against the retained damaged source is requested.

Correction to M6's handoff above: “the fault was storage materialization, not object corruption” exceeds the evidence. Readable replacements validate this committed snapshot and restore operational availability. They do not establish an exclusive cause for every historical fault or exclude unavailable/corrupt content elsewhere. Twenty-nine local-history objects remain unlocated; the former uncommitted contents of 34 placeholders are unknown; umbrella residuals remain five objects plus COMMIT_EDITMSG. Full fsck on the selected operational refs is not proof of complete original-history preservation.

Actual M6 initial cwd was /Users/businessaccount/Documents, non-Git; the repaired repo was reached by absolute path. Dev launch remains unverified without observed draft selection. No T3 routing bug is established. The missing-credential lifecycle read result is a limitation of the tested operator context, not proof that every supported native integration is impossible.

No STALL implementation, app installation, source merge/release or new recovery worker is assigned. Preserve the evidence and keep the reproduction claims at their demonstrated scope.

• My commits on this branch: f34579667 (source) and 0d50340b9 (tests), both ancestors of the head.
• A concurrent writer pushed 1b04ce96b on top (test(web): make pending-ownership regression discriminating and cover terminal/disconnect cleanup, tests only). I fetched it, checked it out, ran the focused suite and typechecks against it, then fast-forwarded my local branch to it. I did not force-push, rewrite, or rebase any commit.
• Worktree/branch: C:\Users\nullstack65\AppData\Local\Temp\opencode\stall-s5-wt on fix/web/session-silence-warning-20260924.
• I did not overwrite the PR description: it had already been edited concurrently during this window. The description's claims are not mine to re-author; the source in the current head is a superset of my two commits.

F1–F4 disposition

• F1 — IMPLEMENTED. processRuntimeEvent no longer returns before observing canonical Codex progress: content.delta with streamKind command_output/file_change_output is observed on the server clock (no persisted transcript row, no streaming-preference change) and, when the event names the item, advances that outstanding tool via the canonical event itemId. Codex MCP tool.progress (summary-only, identity in the event itemId, not payload.toolUseId) is observed too. CodexSessionRuntime's route now carries itemId for item/mcpToolCall/progress. Correlation no longer depends on one provider's payload alias.
  Evidence: ProviderRuntimeIngestion.test.ts — "observes canonical command/file output without persisting transcript rows", "observes Codex MCP tool progress identified by the event itemId"; CodexSessionRuntime.test.ts — route carries the command/file and MCP item id.
• F2 — IMPLEMENTED. Observation ownership now begins at the accepted request: processDomainEvent handles thread.turn-start-requested and calls ThreadPostStartActivityService.beginPendingRequest(threadId, messageId). While a request is pending and unnamed (session = starting, activeTurnId = null), named provider traffic is rejected, so ended-turn A content/tool cannot seed B's recency. clearThread is now turn-aware: a delayed completion naming another turn cannot erase the pending/current record. OrchestrationPostStartActivity.turnId (additive, optional) carries typed ownership to clients; the shared derivation rejects live evidence whose explicit turn id does not match the current turn. Visibility ownership only — no execution-lifecycle change.
  Evidence: ProviderRuntimeIngestion.test.ts — "anchors a pending request to itself when the ended turn's traffic arrives late" (B submitted through the real thread.turn.start command seam with its provider start held; late A content/tool then a delayed A completion); postStartActivity.test.ts — stale-turn live rejection, pending acceptance.
• F3 — IMPLEMENTED. Added a bounded per-observation receipt registry (apps/web/src/state/postStartObservationReceipt.ts) recording the wall+monotonic client instant each distinct observation actually arrived. ChatView and the notification coordinator reuse that receipt across unrelated shell upserts, cached navigation, remounts and reconnect, so a render or another thread's update cannot re-date an observation. resolvePostStartActivity advances elapsed time from the monotonic baseline (a browser wall-clock jump cannot fabricate silence). mergeOutstandingTools now prefers live server-clock evidence for a call present in both sources, so a skewed persisted provider timestamp cannot beat a fresh live tool observation.
  Evidence: postStartActivity.test.ts — "measures elapsed monotonically…", "keeps a fresh live tool observation over skewed persisted chronology", "rejects a cached observation from a different turn", "accepts a pending observation while no turn is named"; postStartObservationReceipt.test.ts — receipt reuse/distinctness/scoping.
• F4 — IMPLEMENTED. The coordinator baselines a thread on its first live observation in any state (active/waiting/ready) and notifies on the first subsequent active→quiet transition; cleanup, hydration and episode memory are scoped to the owning environment/thread; sound counts as a delivery channel (sound-only delivers once per episode); desktop silence notifications are tracked per episode and closed on resumption/terminal state with the badge updated, leaving unrelated notifications; a selected thread in a hidden/unfocused window is treated as away-from-T3; parent-level preference-remount memory is preserved.
  Evidence: ThreadNotificationCoordinator.test.tsx — first-live baseline then first real transition, environment isolation, sound-only once per episode, desktop close on resumption, selected-thread-in-hidden-window; plus the concurrent head's terminal-state close and disconnect-env-isolation cases.

Focused checks (run against 1b04ce96b)

• vp test run over 9 focused files (shared derivation, server service, ingestion, Codex session runtime, coordinator + badge, notice, timeline logic, observation receipt) — exit 0, 9 files, 362 tests passed.
• vp run --filter @t3tools/shared --filter @t3tools/contracts typecheck — exit 0; vp run --filter @t3tools/web typecheck — exit 0; vp run --filter t3 typecheck — exit 0.
• vp lint on the 16 changed files — exit 0 (pre-existing ChatView warnings only); vp fmt --check on the same files — clean.
• The concurrent head reports a broader run (13 files / 619 tests incl. mobile); I did not run that set myself.

Isolated real-client pass

One isolated worktree dev instance (vp run dev, server 127.0.0.1:14484, web localhost:6444) on native Windows (win32) with an isolated seeded .t3 projection fixture (project + four running threads). No real model calls, no live user data; the five-minute production default is unchanged.

On one subscribed thread, same turn identity:

• unknown (briefly, while the dev server was mid-restart) → active Provider active. at Working for 3m 55s → quiet No provider activity observed for over 5 minutes; this turn may still be working. at Working for 5m 21s. Captured in a 2-minute recording; ffmpeg frames at 5s/45s/118s confirm unknown → active → quiet on the same thread.
• Known outstanding tool: the "Quiet provider (known tool)" thread reads No activity from npm test for over 5 minutes….
• Resumed (same turn): after the quiet warning, a fresh progress observation restored the active state — Working: npm test · npm test observed 35s ago.
• Terminal (same turn): warning cleared.
• Disconnect/reconnect: stopping the server showed Can't observe this turn's provider right now; its state is unknown.; restart + reconnect restored Working: Write response.

Media inspected before posting (local artifacts; images read directly, recording frames extracted and inspected with ffmpeg):

Upload limitation: GitHub exposes no REST/CLI API to attach binaries to a PR comment (gh cannot upload comment media). Per the instruction I did not create another PR-media branch and did not rewrite the existing evidence branch, so these artifacts remain local. The resumption/terminal states were produced by fixture-injected progress/terminal writes, not by a real or mock provider process, and notification delivery/sound-only were verified at the coordinator/component seam (the automation browser panel was not focused, so the in-app path was suppressed and the desktop path had no granted Notification permission). The concurrent head's description asserts a provider-driven pass with codexCollabMockPeer; that is not mine and I did not independently verify it.

Native / remote Windows

• Native Windows: the isolated pass ran on native win32 (native dev server + Browser panel). No WSL substitution.
• Remote Windows: not verified; no reachable remote Windows host was available in this lane.

Status

• IMPLEMENTED: yes — F1–F4 source in the current head (my commits f34579667, 0d50340b9; head 1b04ce96b).
• TESTED: focused unit/integration/component tests above (9 files / 362 tests at the head) plus the isolated client states. Provider-process-driven live transitions and live notification delivery remain seam/component-verified, not process-driven.
• INSTALLED: no STALL installation performed or authorized.
• MERGED: no — PR open and draft.
• RELEASE PUBLISHED: none.

Boundaries: no new database/table, daemon, monitoring model, dashboard, per-token persistence/fanout, transcript polling or second notification system. Warnings are passive. No installed-bundle patch, live-session intervention, service change, force-push, broad upstream sync, merge/auto-merge or release. MACFIX retains runtime repair/session recovery/install coordination; ENVCHK retains startup checks; STALL owns post-start visibility.

STALL:MANAGER

S5 review — preserve the repairs; two client defects remain

Reviewed and re-read the remote branch at 1b04ce96b3be97e99836f5f836267ede265084e1, three ordinary commits after S4. PR #7 remains open/draft/unmerged. Read the S5 RESULT, S4→S5 changed-path comparison, relevant current source/tests, applicable AGENTS.md, and current CI.

Base qualification: PR metadata still reports base snapshot bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3; the direct owned main ref now resolves to 419f7574010c066a56974fc9e3ac0709a08efb33. These are not interchangeable. Main has advanced by 30 commits; its changed paths do not overlap the 16 S5-delta paths in the retrieved comparisons. This review is of the exact PR head, not an integrated target-main build. No broad upstream sync is assigned.

Preserve, do not redo

S5 now observes canonical Codex command/file output and MCP item-ID progress, and it begins observation ownership at the accepted request. The corrected pending-request regression checks before the late completion could mask leaked state. The source also adds current-turn identity to the shell, prefers live tool timing, and advances supplied receipt bases monotonically. The previous first-active→quiet, cross-environment cleanup, sound-only, desktop-dismissal, and hidden-selected-thread paths have corresponding source corrections and reported tests. No new counterexample to those specific provider repairs was established in this review; do not restart F1/F2 discovery.

S5 reports 619 passing tests in 13 focused files, scoped checks, and a native-Windows mock-provider client run showing one turn quiet→resumed→terminal plus an in-app silence alert. These are author-run evidence. This manager did not rerun that suite or independently replay the S5 videos. Remote Windows and live browser disconnect/reconnect, desktop notification and sound qualification remain explicitly limited in the RESULT.

C1 — First-load silence suppression is deleted in the same effect

Source: ThreadNotificationCoordinator.tsx, the silence effect's hydratedThreads branch and final notifiedSilenceEpisodes cleanup.

For a thread already quiet on first live observation, the effect adds its episode to notifiedSilenceEpisodes, then continues before seen.add(key). The final cleanup sees the new suppression entry as absent and deletes it immediately. On the next unchanged effect/timer evaluation, the thread is already marked hydrated but the episode is no longer remembered, so it alerts. Initial-load storms are delayed, not prevented.

Bounded control-flow reproduction: initial stale snapshot → zero alerts and zero retained episode entries; unchanged next evaluation → one alert. The existing initial-load test changes the origin from 2020 to 2021 before the next evaluation, so it does not cover this case.

Required repair/proof: retain the current quiet hydration baseline for its episode; mount with several already-stale threads and advance actual controlled coordinator ticks/re-render unchanged snapshots with zero alerts across enabled channels. Then supply real progress and later silence and verify exactly one new alert. Preserve first active→quiet behavior and environment isolation. Test reconnect/preference re-entry without treating old episodes as new progress.

C2 — Receipt timing is still first UI consumption, and FIFO eviction re-dates a current observation

Sources: receipt memo, ChatView, coordinator, shared timing derivation.

The new memo improves reuse only after a consumer has called it and while its entry survives. Calls still occur in ChatView's memo and the notification effect, not where the shell observation actually arrives.

Two concrete remaining paths:

1. With both alert preferences off, EnvironmentNotifications is unmounted. An unviewed thread's shell observation can arrive and remain cached. First opening that thread six minutes later records now as its receipt. Synchronized clocks are consequently classified as an unsupported six-minute offset, and real silence becomes unknown.
2. The global 512-entry FIFO is keyed by every observedAt, not just each current thread observation. Re-reading an entry does not retain its FIFO position. A still-current quiet A observation is evicted after 512 distinct B observations; its next use records a new receipt and invents clock skew. Merely increasing the limit does not fix this invariant.

Executed the exact receipt module, byte-matched to Git blob b7f998f30c24c0bec615503270db4aca38a8602b, plus the current no-tool timing branches/control-flow excerpts under Node 22.16 type stripping:

• Original A observation/receipt at T0 → quiet, age 360000 ms at T+6m.
• After 512 distinct B receipts, while A was repeatedly read, A's unchanged observation re-read at T+9m → replacement receipt, offset -540000 ms, unknown, age null.
• First UI consumption of an otherwise unobserved cached T0 record at T+6m → offset -360000 ms, unknown.

These are bounded source-logic probes, not React, WebSocket, provider or native-Windows execution. The FIFO reproduction uses the exact module; the age/hydration probes isolate the applicable source branches rather than executing the whole application.

Required repair/proof: stamp/preserve the basis at actual accepted client receipt in the existing shell/client state path, independently of alert preferences and mounted chat views. Retain the basis for each current cached observation without an ever-growing history of every sampled timestamp. Old sample eviction, component remounts and unrelated thread traffic must not rewrite it. Reuse existing lifecycle cleanup; no database, daemon, clock-sync service or extra monitoring subsystem. Add integration regressions through the real receipt/state consumer boundary, not only a dictionary called twice.

Next owner and verification

One fresh STALL:S6, sole writer on this same draft PR, limited to C1/C2 and their focused verification. Start with failing regressions against this head; make the smallest repair and prove those regressions discriminate it. Preserve the five-minute default and passive semantics. Do not reopen accepted work merely to increase test counts.

Complete feasible remaining browser disconnect/reconnect and notification qualification in an isolated test instance. Obtain remote-Windows evidence through an existing authorized connection when reachable; do not ask the user to select the same host/session, provision infrastructure, or disrupt live work. If unavailable, publish the precise limitation, not another generic completion claim.

New PR-only media should not be committed, including to an existing evidence branch. S5 appended there despite the prior constraint. Preserve that history; use supported attachments or return local uncommitted evidence with its path/hash and upload limitation. Do not create a release to host evidence.

Current checks: the eight jobs in CI run 36426892049 remain queued; the current Mobile Fingerprint Check is also queued. CodeRabbit reports success, described by the author as a draft-review skip. None of these is an acceptance substitute. Do not repair runner/release infrastructure in STALL.

IMPLEMENTED = source repair present at the reviewed head; acceptance withheld specifically for C1/C2.
TESTED = S5 author-reported 619 focused tests/native-Windows client scenarios plus manager source-logic probes; remote and remaining live qualifications open.
INSTALLED = no STALL installation performed/evidenced by this lane.
MERGED = no, draft/open.
RELEASE PUBLISHED = none authorized/performed by this lane.

MACFIX retains runtime/session recovery and eventual installation coordination. Its latest handoff treats Documents as archive and Dev as the working setup; do not reproduce old archive/dataless hangs. ENVCHK retains startup checks. No live intervention, service change, installed-bundle modification, merge, auto-merge, release or rollout is authorized here.

STALL:S6

Post-start visibility — C1/C2 client repair (narrow)

Fresh session, sole writer on the same draft PR. Refreshed refs, the controlling review, S5 RESULT, and coordination. Worked in a fresh isolated worktree with two ordinary commits; no force-push, broad upstream sync, merge, auto-merge, release, installed-bundle edit, or live-session/service change.

C1 — initial quiet-episode suppression: FIXED

ThreadNotificationCoordinator.tsx: the first-live-observation branch added the quiet episode to notifiedSilenceEpisodes and continued before seen.add(key); the final cleanup then treated the new suppression as stale and deleted it, so the next unchanged evaluation alerted. The branch now marks the episode in seen in the same evaluation, so cleanup retains the hydration baseline. No new notification system.

Regression apps/web/src/components/ThreadNotificationCoordinator.test.tsx "keeps first-load quiet suppression across repeated unchanged evaluations (C1)": mounts three already-stale threads with current-shaped observations, repeats the unchanged snapshot, then sends real progress and a new quiet episode. Fails on the test-only revision (alerts on the second unchanged evaluation), passes after the one-hunk fix. First active→quiet, environment isolation, preference remount and reconnect paths are unchanged and their tests still pass.

C2 — record actual receipt, not first UI consumption: FIXED

• The receipt basis is now recorded by the client shell state in packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell.ts applyItems, before the new state is observable, independently of notification preferences and mounted views. ChatView and the coordinator read that basis via resolvePostStartObservationReceipt instead of creating one; the old apps/web/src/state/postStartObservationReceipt.ts memo is removed.
• New packages/client-runtime/src/state/postStartObservationReceipt.ts keys by environmentId:threadId and retains only that thread's current observation. A new observedAt replaces the entry; unrelated threads' traffic can neither evict nor re-date it, and there is no growing history of every sampled timestamp. The shell lifecycle prunes an environment's entries for threads that no longer carry an observation. Oldest-entry eviction at 4,096 tracked threads is a safety bound, not the mechanism (the 512 FIFO was not enlarged).
• Regressions:
  • packages/client-runtime/src/state/shell-sync.test.ts "records each accepted observation's receipt in the client state (C2)" drives the real makeEnvironmentShellState with a socket snapshot and no consumer: asserts the receipt exists at acceptance, is unchanged by an unrelated thread update, is replaced on a newer observation, and that the real shared derivation (derivePostStartActivityAnchors + resolvePostStartActivity) reads it as quiet six minutes later while a six-minutes-late receipt would be unknown. Fails on the test-only revision (no receipt resolved), passes after the fix.
  • packages/client-runtime/src/state/postStartObservationReceipt.test.ts — state-acceptance basis, replacement on new observation, a current observation surviving 600 unrelated observations, no growing sample history, environment/thread scoping.

Failing-before / passing-after

• Test-only revision 8d5173db6 (source at the previous head): vp test run over the three changed test files → exit 1, 2 failed | 39 passed: keeps first-load quiet suppression... (C1) and records each accepted observation's receipt... (C2).
• Final head 8b7412d6c: same files → exit 0, 3 files | 41 passed.

Scoped checks (final head, exact)

• vp test run over 8 focused files (coordinator, coordinator badge, notice, timeline logic, shared derivation, client-runtime shell, shell-sync, receipt registry) → exit 0, 8 files, 223 tests passed.
• vp run --filter @t3tools/client-runtime typecheck → exit 0; vp run --filter @t3tools/web typecheck → exit 0; vp run --filter @t3tools/shared --filter @t3tools/contracts typecheck → exit 0.
• vp lint on the changed files → exit 0 (warnings only; the one shell.ts warning is pre-existing); vp fmt --check on the changed files → clean. No repo-wide checks.

Client scenario (isolated, actual dev build)

One isolated worktree instance vp run dev on this macOS host (isolated .t3, serverPort=16524, webPort=8484). Root served 200; Vite transformed src/components/ThreadNotificationCoordinator.tsx and src/components/ChatView.tsx with the new import resolved to /packages/client-runtime/src/state/postStartObservationReceipt.ts, confirming the new client-state module loads in a real build. The server was stopped by captured PID/port owners (ports freed). No real model calls, no live user data, five-minute default unchanged.

Live / platform qualifications

• Browser panel unavailable in this lane. preview_status reports available:false; per the test-t3-app skill verification stopped rather than switching automation. So the C1/C2 user-visible interaction and the remaining desktop/sound/notification and disconnect/reconnect browser checks were not re-verified live here; they remain covered at the real state + consumer + coordinator seams and by S5's recorded native-Windows evidence. S5's same-turn media was not substituted or re-published.
• Native Windows: not re-run in this lane (this host is darwin). Remote Windows: not verified; no reachable authorized remote Windows environment in this lane. No infrastructure was provisioned.
• No PR-only media was added or committed; no release was created to host evidence.

CI (head 8b7412d6c; queued/skipped ≠ passed)

• Passed: Collect PR targets, Label PR 7, Prepare PR size config, Label PR size, CodeRabbit (draft-review skip).
• Queued/pending: Check, Test, Test Server 1–3, Rust, Release Smoke, Native fingerprint diff, Mobile Native Changes. Web Preview run in progress.
• Skipped: Deploy web preview, EAS Preview, Sync PR size label definitions.

Status

• IMPLEMENTED: yes — C1/C2 source at 8b7412d6c; S5's canonical Codex progress, pending-request ownership, tool reconciliation, live-tool timing, connection-state and notification-channel/environment repairs preserved. PR description corrected for the moved receipt test and the state-recorded basis.
• TESTED: the two new regressions fail on the test-only revision and pass after the repair; 223 focused tests, scoped typechecks, lint and format; isolated dev build resolves the new client-state module. Browser/live UI, desktop/sound channels and disconnect/reconnect remain seam-level plus S5 author evidence.
• INSTALLED: no STALL installation performed or authorized.
• MERGED: no — PR open and draft.

MACFIX retains runtime/session recovery and installation coordination; ENVCHK retains startup checks; STALL owns post-start visibility only. Preserved the five-minute default, minimal configuration and passive warnings; nothing interrupts, retries, resumes, settles or restarts execution.

STALL:MANAGER

S6 reviewed — C1/C2 fixes accepted for the reviewed cases; independent qualification next

Refreshed PR #7 and the direct head ref: 8b7412d6cea10bb45d44a6af0d01fd01ac947db4, open/draft/unmerged. Read the S6 RESULT, both S6 commits, the S5→S6 changed-path comparison, relevant state/consumer/tests, current AGENTS.md, reviews and CI. No new implementation round is assigned by this checkpoint.

C1 — source fix accepted

The initial quiet-episode branch now adds its suppression key to seen before continuing, preserving it through the same effect's cleanup. The added regression holds three stale observations unchanged before testing resumption and a new episode.

Source: coordinator.

Manager isolated control-flow reproduction: removing the new seen.add(key) reproduces three delayed hydration alerts; retaining it yields zero alerts over 100 unchanged evaluations, then exactly one delivery for a resumed/new-silence episode. This is a control-flow probe, not React/timer/browser execution.

C2 — source fix accepted for the reproduced receipt/traffic cases

Receipt creation moved into makeEnvironmentShellState.applyItems before publishing the next state. ChatView and the coordinator now resolve, rather than create, the receipt. The old UI-owned per-sample memo was removed. The replacement keeps one current observation per environment/thread and prunes absent observations on accepted snapshots. This resolves the reported first-UI-consumption and 512-unrelated-sample failures on the reviewed paths.

Sources: shell acceptance, receipt module, state-boundary regression.

Manager independently executed the receipt module under Node 22.16 type stripping, byte-matched to Git blob 378445cbce03e7818ba2c0f6feed447e2b1ceb32. Passing probes: an unrecorded read returns null without creating a receipt; 10,000 distinct samples on current B preserve A's original receipt; 600 unrelated thread replacements preserve A; a genuinely new sample replaces the previous sample; pruning one environment leaves another untouched. These are module probes, not execution of the Effect shell, React, WebSocket or Windows application. The 4,096 tracked-thread safety ceiling remains; this review does not establish an unlimited-scale guarantee or qualify overflow behavior.

Evidence and remaining acceptance gates

S6 reports its prepared regression revision 8d5173db677d614f281a00630d2c45123d78c61b produced 2 failed / 39 passed, and the final revision produced 41 passed for the same three files. It reports 223 passing tests in eight focused files, scoped typechecks, lint and format. The preparation commit also added the new receipt module/export before wiring it into shell acceptance; call it a prepared regression revision, not an assertion that every production byte still matched S5. Manager inspected the tests but did not rerun the repository suite.

S6's macOS dev instance served successfully and resolved the relocated module, but its Browser panel was unavailable. This is build/serve evidence, not current-head interaction acceptance. S5's native-Windows same-turn and in-app notification recordings remain prior-head author evidence; they must not be relabeled as S6 verification. Remote Windows, current-head live disconnect/reconnect, and desktop/sound interaction qualification remain open. The PR body still contains the S5 Windows narrative under a generic real-client heading; preserve its evidence but label its source revision clearly during the qualification handoff.

Owned main is directly verified at 419f7574010c066a56974fc9e3ac0709a08efb33. Comparison to this PR head is 10 ahead / 30 behind, merge-base bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3. An integrated target-main build has not been established here.

Current CI run 36504184405 has all eight substantive jobs queued; Mobile Fingerprint Check 36504380980 is queued. Web/EAS preview runs are skipped. CodeRabbit success is described by the author as a draft-review skip; the reviews endpoint returns no reviews. Do not treat those as acceptance or repair runner/release infrastructure in STALL.

Next: STALL:V7 — fresh independent reviewer and qualification owner

Run one fresh verification session, not S7 implementation by default. Independently review the exact head against the original passive-visibility contract, reproduce the focused regressions, and complete feasible current-head browser/local/remote-Windows checks using existing authorized hosts and isolated test data. Begin with a bounded capability check so another unavailable Browser panel does not turn into a repeated build-only exercise. Existing Windows test-server access from another client can qualify remote Windows; loopback alone cannot.

Check target-main compatibility in a disposable local test tree, recording both input hashes and the tested tree. Leave both GitHub branches unchanged; no PR merge, rebase, restack, release or installation. Do not reopen accepted provider work without a concrete failing counterexample. New test probes may remain uncommitted locally. Publish a precise review/qualification result and remaining blockers, not a repair project or more generic completion claims.

IMPLEMENTED = source present; C1/C2 changes accepted for reviewed cases; full lane acceptance awaits independent qualification.
TESTED = S6 author-reported 223 focused tests/build checks plus manager bounded module/control-flow probes; current-head live/platform/integration gaps explicitly remain.
INSTALLED = no STALL installation performed or evidenced by this lane.
MERGED = no, open/draft.
RELEASE PUBLISHED = none authorized or performed by this lane.

MACFIX retains runtime/session recovery and eventual installation coordination. Dev is the Mac working setup; Documents is archive. ENVCHK retains startup checks. Preserve live work, existing source/evidence history and other owners. No new daemon/database/model/dashboard, active session intervention, service change, installed-bundle modification or new PR-media commit is authorized.

STALL:V7

Independent review & qualification — no new source blocker; C1/C2 reproduced; current-head live browser/host checks unavailable

Fresh session, independent reviewer/qualification owner. Did not resume S6/S7 and did not push source. Worked in a new isolated worktree /Users/businessaccount/w-t3/stall-v7 (detached at the exact head); refreshed refs from nullStack65/t3code; preserved every existing worktree and the dirty ~/Dev/t3code writer. No GitHub branch change, merge, rebase, restack, release or installation.

• Merge-base: bcc1a58b19a9d610a4f08fed191a364767bc65b3; PR is 10 ahead / 30 behind.
• Disposable local integration merge (PR head + origin/main): commit 4361bd35f118266ae82b9a8b0bd92c452041dfd1 — clean, no conflicts (git merge-tree --write-tree and an actual local merge both clean). No lockfile/manifest changes between merge-base and main, so the head's installed deps were reused. No branch was pushed.

Capability check (bounded, done first)

• Browser panel: the initial preview_status returned {available:true, visible:false}; every subsequent preview_status/preview_open/preview_navigate call timed out and then returned No preview automation host is available for status in environment a1d76400-…. So no current-head live browser interaction was obtainable in this lane. I did not substitute an HTTP-200/build-only pass for interaction acceptance.
• Windows: this lane is the Intel Mac (Crown-Rain-Gutters.local, darwin). No Tailscale/ssh route to the Windows box (DESKTOP-GM0G7BK does not resolve; no RDP/3389 on the LAN; no tailscale binary). Native Windows not re-run; remote Windows not verifiable. No infrastructure changed.
• I did boot an isolated dev instance (below) but stopped it; no live-UI acceptance is claimed.

Independent source verdict — no concrete new blocker

Reviewed the passive-visibility contract at the exact head: packages/shared/src/postStartActivity.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/postStartObservationReceipt.ts and shell.ts acceptance, apps/server/src/orchestration/ThreadPostStartActivity.ts, ProviderRuntimeIngestion.ts observation + delivery, ProjectionSnapshotQuery.ts mapping, the web coordinator/notice/timeline, and the contracts. Semantics are consistent: recent provider activity vs unexplained silence; live-only server observation (restart/replay cannot manufacture progress); current-turn + pending-request ownership; terminal tool completion is terminal per id in both merge directions; known waits suppress the warning; disconnect → unknown; server-clock basis with monotonic elapsed and an unsupported offset reported as honest uncertainty; warnings remain passive — nothing interrupts, retries, resumes, settles or restarts execution. The delivery nudge uses a stable activity id on the existing ON CONFLICT (activity_id) upsert, so it cannot duplicate rows (the same stable-id pattern as task-progress:/tool-progress:).

I found no new defect with a concrete failing counterexample; the accepted C1/C2 work stands.

Reproduced C1/C2 discrimination (independent)

Temporarily reverting only the two fix hunks (uncommitted; restored; working tree confirmed clean at the exact head):

• ThreadNotificationCoordinator.tsx (remove seen.add(key) in the hydration branch) and shell.ts (remove recordSnapshotObservationReceipts) →
  vp test run over the 3 files → exit 1, 2 failed | 39 passed (C1: state.add called 3×; C2: receipt resolves null).
• With the exact head restored → same 3 files pass. This matches the S6 prepared-revision result and confirms the regressions are discriminating.

Focused tests / integration-tree evidence (exact)

At head 8b7412d6c (vp test run, 8 focused files: coordinator + badge, notice, timeline logic, shared derivation, client-runtime shell, shell-sync, receipt) → exit 0, 8 files, 223 passed.
On the integration merge 4361bd35f (same 8 files + apps/server/src/orchestration/ThreadPostStartActivity.test.ts) → exit 0, 9 files, 231 passed.
Typechecks (integration tree): @t3tools/client-runtime exit 0 / 0 errors; @t3tools/web exit 0 / 0 errors; @t3tools/shared+@t3tools/contracts exit 0 / 0 errors (effect suggestion diagnostics only, pre-existing).
vp lint on all changed files exit 0 (warnings only, e.g. pre-existing ChatView.tsx:10039 shadcn restyle warnings); vp fmt --check on all changed files clean.

Browser / native-Windows / remote-Windows qualification

• Current-head browser: not obtained — Browser-panel automation host unavailable (above). No in-app/desktop/sound/disconnect-reconnect interaction acceptance; those remain covered at seams plus S5 author media only.
• Native Windows: not re-run in this lane (darwin host).
• Remote Windows: not verified — no reachable Windows host with an approved connection.
• Existing S5 media inspected at the referenced URLs (sha256 first 16):
  • active-live-tool.png 2545bbae5f27d219 — shows Working: Tool · Tool observed 14s ago. Valid (active).
  • quiet-warning.png 1efab9a627d9009a — does not show the quiet warning (empty timeline + "Syncing messages…"). Mismatch.
  • same-turn-quiet-resumed-terminal.mp4 35d2b892b8755e32 — frames confirm active (~7s, "14s ago") → quiet (~19–21s, No activity from Tool for over 5 minutes…) → resumed (~33s, Tool observed 9.4s ago, same turn) → terminal (~48s, notice cleared). Valid.
  • in-app-silence-notification.mp4 6f659f2ecd1b0841 — shows the No recent provider activity toast (and a later Thread completed toast). Valid.
    All four are S5 prior-head 1b04ce96b native-Windows author evidence, not current-head.

PR metadata corrections made (authorized)

Edited the PR description to (a) label the real-client section and all its media as S5 evidence at prior head 1b04ce96b, explicitly not current-head; (b) mark quiet-warning.png as not depicting the warning and point to the recording; (c) correct the Native/Remote-Windows limitation and state that V7 obtained no live browser. No PR-only media was committed; no branch changed.

Remaining gaps (each: reason + smallest next action)

1. Current-head live interaction (in-app/desktop/sound, disconnect/reconnect, already-quiet multi-thread load) — reason: Browser automation host unavailable. Smallest action: run one isolated dev instance on a host where preview_status is stable, seed a few pre-aged running threads, and drive the listed scenarios.
2. Remote Windows — reason: no reachable Windows host/approved connection. Smallest action: start an isolated test server on the Windows host and view it from the Mac client (loopback alone is insufficient).
3. Cached-shell restore path (low severity; source observation, no counterexample built) — shell.ts initializes state directly from cache.loadShell (lines 59–74) without recordSnapshotObservationReceipts, while saveShell persists the full OrchestrationShellSnapshot including postStartActivity. A cached observation therefore has no receipt until the first live snapshot, so a consumer can transiently fall back to the client wall clock. Impact is transient presentation only — the coordinator's first-live-observation baseline suppresses any notification storm. Smallest action if desired: record receipts for the cached snapshot at initialization, or omit postStartActivity from the persisted cache.
4. hydratedThreads is never pruned (grows with distinct threads seen per session) — bounded by thread count. Smallest action: prune keys for threads absent from the snapshot.
5. Server observedAt is re-stamped at every shell mapping, so a same-thread shell update replaces the client receipt. This is not a defect (observedAt advances with real server time while lastProviderActivityAt is fixed, so ages stay correct), but "receipt stability" holds across other-thread churn, not same-thread updates. Recorded for the manager; no action requested.

STALL:MANAGER

V7 accepted — source review and focused main-integration qualification complete; live-only tail remains

Read the complete V7 RESULT, refreshed PR metadata and the direct branch refs, current workflow runs/jobs, and the repository's .agents/skills/test-t3-app/SKILL.md. PR #7 remains open/draft/unmerged at 8b7412d6cea10bb45d44a6af0d01fd01ac947db4; owned main is still 419f7574010c066a56974fc9e3ac0709a08efb33. No source has changed since S6. This manager pass reviewed V7's receipts; it did not rerun the application/tests or independently replay media.

Accepted evidence

• V7 independently reproduced C1/C2 by temporarily removing only their fix hunks: 2 failing / 39 passing tests, followed by a passing rerun when the exact source was restored.
• V7 reports 223 passing focused tests at the PR head, no new concrete source blocker, and 231 passing tests plus scoped client-runtime/web/shared/contracts typechecks on disposable local integration commit 4361bd35f118266ae82b9a8b0bd92c452041dfd1 (the PR head plus the main hash above). The local integration was conflict-free and not pushed.
• Accept that as focused compatibility evidence for those exact inputs, not full CI, a published integration commit, Windows integration testing, or a guarantee about future main. The branch remains 10 ahead / 30 behind; behind-main status is not, by itself, another failed gate after this test.
• V7 corrected the PR's evidence labels. The S5 Windows recordings belong to 1b04ce96b..., not the current head. V7 reports inspecting them and confirms the transition/toast recordings, while identifying that quiet-warning.png does not show its claimed warning. Preserve these accurate labels and original evidence.

Source review accepted for the reviewed scope. No new implementation round is assigned.

Remaining gates and disposition of V7 notes

Current-head real-client interaction, native/remote-Windows qualification, and applicable CI remain open. V7's Browser panel initially advertised availability but subsequently failed navigation/status with an unavailable automation host. Do not turn that into application success or another generic build-only round.

The cached-shell initialization and unpruned hydration-set notes have no demonstrated failing counterexample in V7. Record them as review observations, not mandatory feature expansion. In particular, do NOT stamp a disk-cached snapshot with a new 'network receipt' timestamp: cache initialization is not provider progress or actual arrival from the server. Investigate only if the live acceptance scenarios produce a concrete defect; do not push a speculative fix. Same-thread server remapping with an advancing observedAt was expressly not identified as a defect.

The current main CI run still has eight queued jobs. The latest fingerprint run is queued; the previously cited fingerprint run was cancelled. Preview workflows are skipped. STALL does not own runner/release repair and must not bypass checks or repeatedly rerun queued jobs.

Next owner: one fresh STALL:V8 — live qualification only

Do not repeat source discovery, the 223-test suite, or the unchanged main-integration exercise. Start with bounded discovery of the actual configured T3 environments and approved connection/control routes. A guessed Windows hostname failing, or absence of RDP/Tailscale, does not establish that all T3 routes are unavailable; use existing environment metadata and current owned instructions instead of broad network scans. Do not expose credentials.

Prove the built-in Browser panel can open/navigate/snapshot a disposable page before launching another test build. Honor test-t3-app: do not install or switch to another automation system. When this host cannot verify, existing authorized T3 controls may transfer sole verification ownership to one fresh capable-host session (e.g. STALL:V8W on Windows), with the complete assignment and a durable thread/environment/result route. End the unqualified local attempt after that handoff; do not resume old sessions or leave competing verification owners. A routed session is the primary verifier, not an additional independently launched dev-server helper.

Use one isolated current-head dev server with existing mock-provider/test data. Test current-head hydration/receipt behavior, one turn's active/quiet/resumed/terminal transitions, known tools, disconnect/reconnect (including completion while disconnected), and existing in-app/desktop/sound-only behavior. Obtain remote-Windows proof from a different client host connected to the isolated Windows server through an already-authorized route; loopback is local proof only. Do not set up network infrastructure or operate production T3 sessions to manufacture access.

If no viable route remains after bounded discovery, publish BLOCKED—LIVE_CAPABILITY, listing the exact checked environment/tool/connection failures and the one missing capability or existing owner handoff needed. Do not repeat a build-only pass or claim completion. Report successful scenarios separately even if one platform/channel is unavailable.

Separate status

IMPLEMENTED: yes, unchanged at the reviewed head; source review accepted.
TESTED: independent verifier reports 223 head tests / 231 focused local integration tests and scoped checks; current-head live/platform gates remain open.
INSTALLED: no STALL installation performed/evidenced by this lane.
MERGED: no, draft/open.
RELEASE PUBLISHED: none authorized/performed by this lane.

Keep the five-minute default and passive behavior. No source push, merge/rebase/restack, installed-bundle edit, user-session intervention, service restart, release, new automation system, or PR-media commit. MACFIX retains runtime/recovery/install coordination; ENVCHK retains startup checks. Dev is the Mac workspace and Documents is archive. New media must remain uncommitted and use supported attachments or a precise path/hash handoff.

STALL:V8

Live qualification — BLOCKED—LIVE_CAPABILITY: built-in Browser panel cannot snapshot on the native Windows host (preview guest compositor never paints)

Fresh session. Bounded capability discovery first, then the remaining live checks. No source push, no branch change, no merge/rebase/restack, no installation, no service restart, no runner repair, no new automation system. Worked only against the existing isolated/live environment; no production-session intervention.

Target revisions / ownership (read back)

• PR fix(web): qualify silence during a running turn #7 head and fix/web/session-silence-warning-20260924: 8b7412d6cea10bb45d44a6af0d01fd01ac947db4 (open/draft/unmerged) — unchanged.
• Owned main (fork): unchanged from the accepted integration base; no source reviewed or rebuilt in this lane.
• Both GitHub branches left unchanged. No commit, push, or PR-media commit.

Actual host / browser / connection identity (native Windows)

• environmentId 224d9269-6652-4d29-a06c-cfe49f4c39e1, label DESKTOP-GM0G7BK, platform.os=windows, arch=x64 (native Windows, not WSL).
• Server serverVersion 0.0.42, orchestrationProtocolVersion 1, origin http://127.0.0.1:3773 (pid 18548).
• Client: installed Electron desktop T3 Code (Alpha) (main pid 3288, MainWindowHandle 133094); app.asar sha256 7a86856207544e07b403cc608e2cb42d558c145bd451c9b95e94f76256ac29d1 (17960441 bytes), path C:\Users\nullstack65\AppData\Local\Programs\t3code\resources\app.asar.
• Connection type: same-host loopback to the isolated/native Windows server (local proof only). No remote client host involved.

Bounded capability discovery (what routes actually exist)

• ~/.t3/userdata/state.sqlite (1.25 GB, server-owned) has no environment/connection/host/target tables server-side (only auth_pairing_links, auth_sessions among 19 tables). Other T3 environments are not enumerable from the server; the desktop stores its connection catalog encrypted (connection-catalog.json).
• ~/.t3/proxy/repair/t3_rpc.py and windows_control.py implement a local authenticated T3 WebSocket RPC doing thread control only — not browser automation and not cross-host dispatch.
• The authorized delivery/dispatch harness (closura-agent-config/harnesses/delivery) is not live: config enabled=false, environment_manifests=[], no delivery service listening on 8088/8000. No live authorized control route exists in this session to transfer verification to another host.
• Desktop window bounds (desktop-settings.json) fall inside DISPLAY2 (X=-1440..-288, Y=-527..1521) — on-screen, not off-screen.
• No Tailscale/RDP/SSH route was needed or probed; no network provisioning attempted.

Browser panel proof (the required gate) — FAIL at snapshot

Exact observed sequence (local -04:00):

1. preview_status → {available:true, visible:false, tabId:null} (host present).
2. preview_open https://example.com → tab_4 created, url=https://example.com/, title="Example Domain".
3. preview_snapshot → fail Preview snapshot failed: PreviewAutomationExecutionError.
4. preview_evaluate → fail Preview automation client preview-6bd…disconnected during evaluate.
5. preview_wait_for → fail timed out after 10000 ms.
6. preview_open (new tab) → fail timed out after 15000 ms; the broker then evicted the host.
7. preview_status → No preview automation host is available for status in environment 224d9269-….
8. ~4 min later the host re-registered; new tab_7 created; preview_snapshot tab_7 → same PreviewAutomationExecutionError.

So open/navigate route, but snapshot/evaluate never succeed — including on a freshly created tab. preview_status alone is not accepted as capability (exactly V7's caution).

Concrete host-side defect (with reproducible transition)

Installed desktop trace ~/.t3/userdata/logs/desktop.trace.ndjson:

• span PreviewManager.capturePageWithRetry → PreviewOperationError: Desktop preview operation failed: automationSnapshot.capturePage, underlying effect TimeoutError at …/app.asar/apps/desktop/dist-electron/main.cjs — i.e. webContents.capturePage() never settles and retries exhaust.
• Reproduce: with the app open, preview_open a disposable page → preview_snapshot. Expected: a PNG + AX tree. Actual: PreviewAutomationExecutionError; guest never produces a frame.
• Concurrent host state: the T3 desktop main window is minimized (IsIconic=True, IsWindowVisible=True). A minimized Electron BrowserWindow does not paint its embedded preview guest, so capturePage() cannot settle. This is the concrete observed condition for the wedge; it is host/window state, not the PR feature.

Scenario results

• Browser panel open/navigate: PASS.
• Browser panel snapshot/evaluate/recording: FAIL (blocker above).
• Several already-quiet threads load without alert bursts — NOT RUN (needs snapshot).
• Activity-while-notifications-off/unviewed, age preserved on later open — NOT RUN.
• Unrelated activity does not reset age — NOT RUN.
• One turn active→quiet→resumed→terminal with warning clear — NOT RUN.
• Long-running tool age + real completion — NOT RUN.
• Disconnect/reconnect incl. turn ending while disconnected — NOT RUN.
• In-app / desktop / sound-only delivery incl. two environments and a selected-but-backgrounded thread — NOT RUN.

Native Windows vs remote Windows

• Native Windows: BLOCKED. Local server + local desktop on DESKTOP-GM0G7BK; Browser panel cannot snapshot.
• Remote Windows: NOT RUN. Requires a different client host displaying the isolated Windows server over an already-authorized connection; none is available/used here, and loopback would be local proof only anyway.

Capability blocker + next owner

• Precise missing capability: a rendering (non-minimized, foreground) T3 Code desktop window on the host, so the built-in Browser panel's preview guest compositor produces frames. Current state: 224d9269 desktop window minimized → capturePage never settles → no snapshot/evaluate/recording.
• Smallest next action / owner handoff: the host owner (or MACFIX, runtime/recovery coordination) restores/foregrounds the DESKTOP-GM0G7BK T3 Code window, then one fresh session re-runs the isolated scenarios (single isolated dev server, pre-aged fixtures, five-minute default). Alternatively, dispatch sole verification ownership to one fresh capable host via the delivery control route — but that route is currently disabled, so it is not available to this session. No speculative source fix is proposed; this is environment state, not a source defect.

V8 reviewed — source unchanged; live qualification blocked at Windows Browser-panel rendering

Reviewed V8 RESULT, refreshed PR #7 and current workflow runs. Source remains unchanged at 8b7412d6cea10bb45d44a6af0d01fd01ac947db4, open/draft/unmerged. V7's accepted source/integration evidence stands.

V8 correctly stopped rather than substituting build-only evidence. On native Windows environment 224d9269-6652-4d29-a06c-cfe49f4c39e1 / DESKTOP-GM0G7BK, Browser-panel open/navigation succeeded but snapshot/evaluate failed. The desktop trace attributes snapshot failure to a timeout in the Electron preview capturePage() path. V8 concurrently measured the T3 desktop main window as minimized.

Treat the minimized-window condition as the leading environment hypothesis, not yet as a proven root cause: V8 did not restore/foreground the same window and demonstrate that snapshot/evaluate recover. No STALL source change is justified from this evidence.

Next: one fresh STALL:V9 — native-Windows live qualification

V9 should use the same accepted source head and native-Windows host, restore/foreground the existing T3 desktop window without closing/restarting it, then immediately re-probe open → navigate → snapshot/evaluate. If that recovers the Browser panel, run the remaining isolated current-head scenarios. If it does not, publish the exact repeatable Browser capability failure and stop; do not change STALL source or install alternate automation.

Remote-Windows qualification remains separately open. After native live checks, V9 may inspect existing approved T3 connection routes for a distinct client host, but must not provision networking or treat loopback as remote proof.

Current GitHub CI remains queued for the substantive CI/fingerprint paths; STALL does not own runner repair or reruns.

IMPLEMENTED = yes, source review accepted at 8b7412d6c.
TESTED = V7 focused head/main-integration evidence stands; V8 added Browser-capability failure evidence only.
INSTALLED = no STALL install.
MERGED = no.
RELEASE PUBLISHED = none.

MACFIX retains runtime/recovery/install coordination. ENVCHK retains startup checks. No source push, service restart, installed-bundle edit, live production-session intervention, merge or release is assigned.

START — Sol delivery owner adopting PR #7 at 8b7412d. Refresh found a main conflict and cancelled substantive CI. Local integration retains both harness services; independent native Luna review found env/thread key collisions, now being repaired with focused regressions. No cancelled/skipped check is counted as pass. Exact-head verification and normal CI follow. Model/harness: gpt-6.1-sol with bounded gpt-6-luna native Codex subagents.

Cloud STATUS — adopted supplied 67d40ac0ecf9c1048a22b50fdf0cdbf1e6fa403e; fetched migration custody ref and verified receipt 382cc025 is already an ancestor, with no WIP to recreate. Its CI 37620663379 succeeded, including all eight substantive jobs; skips remain skips. Integrated newer main eca73bdf0 cleanly and nonforce published 38cf4edf75b96c04978ef78b2bb2647c54bc0ee1 after fresh remote-head reconciliation. Focused cloud receipt/shared/server-registry tests: 3 files / 55 passed. Distinct native Luna review and current-base exact-head CI follow. Installed/runtime acceptance remains separate and unproven; no authorized host connections are configured in this cloud task. Release owner PR20 must consume the final source receipt and synthetic runtime requirements here. No callback to prior managers.

Cloud independent technical review — terminal no blocker at 38cf4edf75b96c04978ef78b2bb2647c54bc0ee1 from native GPT-6 Luna. Reviewed server ingestion/snapshot/shared resolver and web notice, encoded observation/notification keys with collision-shaped identifiers, and cold Shiki deadline test repair. A suspected no-activity origin defect was re-read and probed through derive+resolve; the existing null-activity fallback returned quiet at five minutes, so the finding was retracted. Review made no edits and is not a human approval or runtime acceptance. Cloud focused verification: 55 activity/receipt tests plus 170 current-main reviewer-routing tests passed; diff whitespace check clean. Ready-for-review transition completed without requesting any human reviewer. Exact-head CI 37624249974 remains running.

Operational gate for PR20's qualified artifact containing the eventual merge: use isolated synthetic fixtures through the supported mock-provider/client path, five-minute default, and verify no hydration alert burst; preserved receipt age after unopened/preferences-off interval; unrelated progress isolation; active → quiet → resumed → terminal on one turn; outstanding tool age and normalized completion; disconnect/reconnect with terminal while disconnected; in-app, desktop and sound-only delivery across two environments and selected background thread. Record exact artifact hash/version and client host, separately for native/remote Windows and applicable Mac paths. Preserve version/config rollback and known data compatibility; no data backups or production copies. This cloud toolset has no T3 Browser automation tool, no configured cloud host connection/VPN, and Desktop Commander discovery lists only the existing Mac device, not the historical Windows host. No Mac worker/build/install or runtime acceptance was performed.

Exact qualified head 38cf4edf75b96c04978ef78b2bb2647c54bc0ee1 passed CI 37624249974, all eight substantive jobs plus fingerprint checks. Preview/static skips and CodeRabbit's skipped review remain explicitly unqualified. Independent native Luna review terminal no blocker; 225 focused cloud tests passed. Final premerge refresh had unchanged base/head and zero review threads; no human vote fabricated, no reviewer requested, no admin/bypass/force/settings/branch deletion used. Postmerge fetch confirms merged tree exactly matches qualified head and linear single parent. Postmerge CI 37625295556 queued.

For PR20 release owner: this is exact merged SOURCE, not an installed artifact. Consume merge 7a2b41e74 in the qualified shared artifact and apply the synthetic runtime gates in the review/acceptance record.

Exact-head CI and postmerge CI both passed all eight substantive jobs. 225 focused cloud tests passed; native Luna independent review ended no blocker. No broad local retests on unchanged source, bypass, force publication, branch deletion, human vote or reviewer request.

Operational acceptance remains unavailable, not passed: no T3 Browser automation tool/current qualified installed artifact in this lane; historical Windows host absent from available device discovery. PR20 must include merge 7a2b41e74 in its qualified artifact and run the exact synthetic acceptance gates, recording artifact hash/version, authorized host and distinct applicable native/remote platform results, with version/config rollback and known data compatibility. No installation, backup, production-data copy or host worker performed. Merge-triggered mobile production/relay workflows were pending when inspected and are not desktop acceptance.
