Every in-memory test passed the whole time, because `createMemoryThreadEngine` validates no payload. Two more of the same class: - `t3-server.mjs start` wipes the data dir, so `stop` + `start` would have reported the harness erasing its own state as item 4 failing. Added `restart`, which keeps the data dir and refuses with exit 3 when there is none to keep. - `workspaceAddArchitect` never called `ensureThreadBackendReady`, so its thread branch was dead code in every fresh `afx` process. Also added `DriverThread.attach` and `ThreadEngine.attach`: the engine could only create, so nothing could resume a thread it had not made. Both criteria then observed live against the pinned checkout 082e6ea5 with t3@0.0.36: item 3 from the server's own subscribeShell snapshot, item 4 from a codeword that existed only in the pre-restart conversation. Items 6 and 7 untouched — still held by the architect, still unrun.

The turn that followed ran in it: the agent wrote +the file it was asked to write. + +### The command that makes an architect a thread could not reach that branch + +`workspaceAddArchitect` gates on `tryGetThreadEngine()`, and nothing in the command registered +an engine. Every `afx` invocation is a fresh process, so the gate was always false and a +workspace configured for threads still got a Tower terminal. `146-phase_9-verification.md` +recorded this for `interrupt`, `cleanup` and `add-architect` as a known limitation; for item 3 +it was the whole criterion. + +It now calls `ensureThreadBackendReady(workspacePath)` first, which is what `afx spawn` already +does. An unconfigured workspace is unchanged — `not-configured`, no engine, Tower. A configured +but unreachable server throws rather than falling through to Tower, which is that module's +standing rule. + +## Item 4 — "an architect thread survives a server restart and resumes with context" + +**Met.** Not a reconnect: the post-restart turn produced a value that existed only in the +pre-restart conversation. + +Sequence, all against the same server process lineage: + +1.

Turn 2: "write the codeword I asked you to remember earlier to `recall.txt`." +6. `recall.txt` contained the codeword. + +The codeword is randomised per run, and the workspace is a fresh temp directory, so a stale +file cannot produce a pass. + +### `stop` + `start` is not a restart, and running it as one would have reported a false negative + +`t3-server.mjs start` does `rmSync(dataDir, { recursive: true, force: true })` before spawning. +That is right for the phase-1 cold-start evidence — a start-twice proof is only a proof if each +run begins with an empty database — and it means `stop` then `start` is a **new server**. Item 4 +run that way reports "the thread did not survive", for a reason that has nothing to do with the +criterion: the harness deleted it. + +Added `t3-server.mjs restart`, which keeps the data dir and refuses with exit `3` +(`NO_DATA_TO_KEEP`) when there is none to keep, rather than silently cold-starting under a +restart's name. + +**Mutation-checked.** Replacing `restart` with `stop` + `start` in the live test fails it at +"item 4: the thread did not survive the server restart" — so the restart is load-bearing and +the test can see a thread that is gone. + +### The engine could not resume anything + +`createPorchThreadEngine` had `create` and no way to adopt a thread it had not made, which +`146-phase_9-verification.md` recorded and assigned to "items 3 and 4". Added: + +- `DriverThread.attach` — builds the thread object with no `thread.create` dispatch and no + worktree-setup write. Creating instead would mint a second thread and overwrite a worktree an + agent has been working in, which would make the criterion unfalsifiable. +- `ThreadEngine.attach`, on both the porch engine and the in-memory one, so a test double cannot + diverge from the contract. + +An attached thread carries an **empty** event log, because this process holds no subscription to +it. That is "I have not been told", not "nothing happened", and it is stated on the method rather +than left for a caller to discover. `activeTurnId` is `null` for the same reason and no caller +may read it as "the thread is idle". + +## What is still NOT met, stated rather than left to be discovered + +**`afx send architect` in a fresh process still cannot resume a thread.** `deliverThreadTurn` +takes only a thread id and calls `startTurn`, which throws for a thread this process did not +create. `attach` is the capability that makes resumption possible; nothing yet calls it from the +mailbox path, because the worktree and branch it needs live on the row and `deliverThreadTurn` +is not handed one. Item 4's criterion is about the thread, and the thread resumes. The CLI +round trip on top of it is not proven here and is not claimed. + +`afx interrupt` and `afx cleanup` are unchanged and still reach `getThreadEngine()` in a process +where none is registered. + +## Explicitly not attempted + +**Item 6** (one architect and six builders, measured) and **item 7** (`/arch-save` exercised) +remain held by the architect, per #219's scope.

A thread-configured architect was UNREACHABLE. ensureThreadBackendReady runs in the afx process, which exits; Tower is a different process with no engine, so deliverThreadTurn threw there and a bare `catch { return false }` held the message with no explanation. The delivery session now carries a ThreadDeliveryContext and writeMessage registers an engine and adopts the thread in Tower's own process. The bare catch is four named ERROR sentences. A fourth MailboxReason is the complete fix and is NOT made here: it is a migration on the user-global DB and a user-visible vocabulary change. 2. Found by fixing 1, on its first run: project.create is not idempotent. t3code refuses a second active project for a workspace root, so ensureThreadBackendReady worked in the first afx process against a workspace and failed in every one after. It now looks the project up over GET /api/orchestration/shell first, with three answers — found, none, unknown — and symlink-normalised path comparison. 3. Collision contract. The thread path consulted the existing set only when auto-numbering, so an explicit --name collision created a second thread and overwrote the row. Now refused with Tower's own sentence. 4. restart could report a restart that did not happen: stop PRESERVES the data dir, so the data-dir guard proved nothing. It now requires a running server this harness owns and waits for the port to release. The live test's post-restart turn now goes through a real child process calling makeDeliveryPorts().writeMessage against the built dist. Driving the engine from the test process cannot see issue 1.

Tower is a different, +long-lived process and registers no engine, so `deliverThreadTurn` threw there for every +thread-backed row — and `writeMessage` wrapped it in a bare `catch { return false }`, which the +delivery path holds as `no-live-pty`. Configuring threads therefore traded a working Tower +architect for one that could never receive mail, silently. Starvation through a different door. + +Fixed at the delivery seam: the session now carries a `ThreadDeliveryContext` (workspace root, +worktree, branch, agent — none of which is derivable from a thread id), and `writeMessage` +registers an engine in **this** process and adopts the thread before starting the turn. + +The bare catch is gone. Four failures, four sentences: no context on the session (a wiring +fault here), a thread-backed row in a workspace naming no server (a contradiction in the state), +a server that could not be used, and a server that refused the turn. They still all hold the row +the same way — `MailboxReason` is `busy | no-profile | no-live-pty` and a CHECK constraint on +the mailbox table pins it — but each names itself at ERROR instead of leaving through the same +silence. **A fourth held reason is the complete fix and is not made here**: it is a migration on +the user-global database and a user-visible vocabulary change, which is the architect's call. + +### `project.create` is not idempotent, and the second process paid for it + +Found by the fix above, on its first run. t3code refuses a second active project for a workspace +root (`requireActiveProjectWorkspaceRootAbsent`), and `ensureThreadBackendReady` created one +unconditionally.

Three answers, not +two: `found`, `none`, and `unknown`. `unknown` is not `none`, because the caller's next move on +`none` is to create a project, which is exactly what fails when the truth was "I could not tell". +Paths are compared normalised: `/var` and `/private/var` are the same directory on macOS, and a +string compare answers `none` for a project that exists. + +### The thread path violated the collision contract + +`workspace-add-architect` consulted the existing set only when auto-numbering. With an explicit +`--name` that was already registered it created a **second** thread and `setArchitectByName` +overwrote the row, leaving the first thread alive on the server with nothing pointing at it. The +Tower path refuses that. Now both do, with the same sentence, so a user cannot tell which engine +refused. Auto-numbering now uses `autoNumberArchitectName` rather than a second copy of the rule. + +### `restart` could report a restart that did not happen + +The first guard checked only that the data dir existed — and `stop` **preserves** the data dir, +so `stop` then `restart` succeeded having replaced no process at all.

Tower is multi-workspace in a way the CLI never was. 1. ONE PROCESS-GLOBAL ENGINE SERVED EVERY WORKSPACE. thread-runtime.ts held a bare `let engine`, and ensureThreadBackendReady returned already-installed BEFORE reading the requested root. Harmless in the CLI: one process, one workspace, exit. Tower drains mail for every workspace in global.db, so the first thread-configured workspace pinned the socket, projectId, dispatcher and journal, and workspace B's turns ran against workspace A's server — silently, because a turn dispatched to the wrong server succeeds. Now keyed on the canonical workspace root, with NO fallback in either direction: a keyed miss taking the unkeyed slot would restore the bug one indirection away. Concurrent first deliveries raced the singleton too; one in-flight init per workspace now, counted at the server because a pairing grant is one-time. 2. --no-enter SILENTLY BECAME A SUBMITTED TURN. The flag was received and discarded on the thread branch, so a gate notification sent to SIT for a human executed itself: a thread has no composer, and thread.turn.start is the submit. Refused, with nothing attempted before the refusal. 3. TOWER NEVER INVALIDATED A DEAD SOCKET. The post-handshake listener only warned, so after a server restart — which item 4 of this PR proves is supported — Tower held the dead engine forever. `close` now evicts that workspace's engine, and only if it is still the registered one. 4. restart COULD SIGNAL A PROCESS IT DOES NOT OWN. readPid proved liveness, not ownership, and pids are reused — a stale pid file could name an unrelated live process whose whole group stop() then SIGTERMed. ownsProcess already existed for the port sweep; the pid path was the one place the rule was not applied. The mutation check killed the bystander process. Recorded, not fixed: an architect's attach passes no harness/model, so it rests on two defaults staying equal (the architect table has no columns to read); and activeProjectForWorkspace hand-builds a second auth path.

A SOCKET CLOSING DURING INITIALIZATION REGISTERED A PERMANENTLY DEAD ENGINE. The close handler carried a comment saying it "can only fire after this function has finished registering" the engine. That was false, and once written as a guarantee it stopped being checked — two reviewers went straight to it. The socket is OPEN while the HTTP project lookup runs; a close there left `registered` undefined, so the guard compared `undefined === undefined`, evicted nothing, and initialization then registered an engine backed by an already-closed socket. No further close could fire, because it already had. Now a monotonic `closed` flag, set the moment the socket goes whether or not an engine exists, checked BEFORE and AFTER registration — the window between the check and the write is closed by the second check rather than by an argument about ordering. The comment says what makes it true. 2. THE PROJECT LOOKUP HAD NO BOUND. It sits between a completed handshake and a registered engine, so a server that accepted the request and never answered left ensureThreadBackendReady unsettled forever, having reported nothing. 3. THE --no-enter REFUSAL WAS RIGHT IN SUBSTANCE AND WRONG IN LIFECYCLE. Held under a retryable reason it re-logged every drain tick and raised a starvation notice with no remedy that applies — no action of a human's can give a thread a composer (#190). Terminal now: dismissed with one loud line naming how to re-send. `reason: null` keeps it out of findStarvingAgents, which does not filter on `escalated` — so marking it escalated would have suppressed the wrong list. 4. restart READ AN lsof FAILURE AS "PORT RELEASED". A tool that cannot answer is not a negative answer. Three answers now, and PORT_STATE_UNKNOWN refuses rather than starting a second server against a port whose state is unknown. Recorded: installThreadSpawnFactory writes a process-global from Tower's multi-workspace process — the bug the engine map just fixed, one door down, unreachable today because chooseSpawnPath's only consumer is CLI-only.

AN OPT-IN FEATURE STALLED MAIL FOR EVERY WORKSPACE. Tower's drainer awaits agents sequentially and deliverToThread awaited ensureThreadBackendReady. A connect is bounded by design at 15s per stage, so ONE workspace's connect stalled delivery for every agent in every workspace — including PTY-only ones that never opted in. The bound that makes the connect safe is what makes the stall long. An opt-in feature is not opt-in if declining it still costs you your mail. requestThreadBackend is synchronous by construction: ready / connecting / cooling-down / misconfigured / not-configured, with the connect started in the background. The row is held and the next tick finds the engine ready. The CLI keeps the awaited call — one workspace, one process, and a spawn that returned before its server was reachable would be lying. 2. NO BACKOFF. A workspace whose server was down re-ran the whole connect every 1.5s tick, re-exchanging a bootstrap token this module's own docs say may be one-time — the retry loop spending the thing it needs to retry with. 60s cooldown, reported as its own state with the failure that caused it. 3. THE UPGRADE BOUND DID NOT CANCEL. It rejected and left the socket alive, so a server holding the upgrade open kept a live connection past the deadline and Tower accumulated one orphan per retry. Closed on the timeout and on the error path, from one `abandon` that also clears the timer. 4. ownsProcess CLAIMED A PROOF IT DID NOT PERFORM. Docblock: "a t3 serve for OUR data directory". Code: cmd.includes(runtimeDir) — which `tail -f /server.log` satisfies, and that process then takes the group SIGTERM. Now requires a bare `serve` AND `--base-dir ` as real argument pairs, verified against both processes the harness creates. Tested with a live tail -f. Comment corrected: deliverToThread's --no-enter log said "the row stays held" while the caller dismisses it. One rule, two files, one of them wrong. Filed rather than fixed: #226 (mailbox reason/dismissal vocabulary — the same migration #223 wants, one not two) and #227 (process-global spawn factory in Tower, interrupt/cleanup still broken on the thread path, architect attach carrying no harness/model, the second auth path).

THE TURN SUBMISSION WAS STILL ON THE TICK. Round 5 took the CONNECT off. MailboxDrainer.tick walks agents SEQUENTIALLY and a thread submission is thread.turn.start over RPC — bounded at 30s by the client, not by anything here — so an ALREADY-CONNECTED but unresponsive server stalled delivery for every agent in every workspace, PTY-only ones included. The connect was one path to that stall; this is the one that survives a healthy connect. Submissions run out of band now. An in-flight guard keyed by agent is what makes not awaiting safe: the row is still held, so the next tick 1.5s later would submit the same message again — one message, several turns. 2. POST-UPGRADE FAILURES LEAKED SOCKETS. The upgrade timeout closes what it gives up on, but a connection that upgraded SUCCESSFULLY and then failed at the project lookup or project.create was dropped with the socket still open, and the 60s cooldown then retries. connectDispatcher returns a disposer; every exit before an engine owns the socket hangs up. 3. THE ROUTE TOLD THE SENDER A ROW WAS HELD WHEN IT HAD BEEN ENDED. A terminally-dismissed --no-enter row was reported held/no-live-pty: a retry that cannot happen, and a mailbox id that lists nowhere. `delivered: false, held: false` alone is worse — the CLI's final branch reads that as delivered — so the refusal has its own word, checked BEFORE held and before the fallthrough at both route sites, in the SDK type and on both CLI paths. 4. A STALE thread_id SILENTLY SHADOWED A LIVE PTY. resolveLiveSessionForAgent returned a thread session before consulting the terminal map. The two are mutually exclusive by construction, so both present is a contradiction, not a preference: the PTY wins because it was observed live, and the contradiction is logged rather than resolved in silence. Found on the way: tower-routes.test.ts mocked getGlobalDb but not getDb, so state.js's builder and architect reads reached the REAL user-global database. The ownsProcess executable match is filed on #227 with the architect's ruling and my agreement.

Reworked rather than patched twice; the shape is now "this delivery recovers ITS OWN intent, identified unambiguously, and touches nothing else". 1. IT MATCHED ON MESSAGE TEXT. Two identical messages to one agent are ordinary — a retried instruction, a repeated nudge, any templated notice — so a STALE intent answered for the current message and delivery reported `recovered` for something never submitted. That is the worse direction: a duplicate turn is visible and recoverable, a false "delivered" is neither. The mailbox row id now rides the journal intent as `ref`, a new optional journal field that is never sent to the server — the wire payload is t3code's schema, this is the caller's bookkeeping. 2. IT DRAINED THE WHOLE WORKSPACE JOURNAL. `recoverPendingCommands` replays every pending intent and settles them all. Round 6 made submissions concurrent across agents, so two lost acks in one workspace is a state this PR can produce — and draining marked the SIBLING's intent dispatched while its row was still held, so its next tick minted a fresh id and duplicated one agent over. Now replays only its own, under its own id, same unanswered/refusal split. THIS LEAVES recoverPendingCommands WITHOUT A PRODUCTION CALLER AGAIN; last round's claim to the contrary was wrong and the record says so. 3. A PTY DIAGNOSIS ON A HEALTHY THREAD ROW, in two places — and the deeper one was not where the review placed it. `MailboxReason` is three words about a PTY, and not one describes any state a thread can be in. The SUBMISSION wrote `no-live-pty` whenever the write did not happen, and the route also defaulted a reasonless row to it. Both fixed: the row carries no reason, `afx send` renders "pending", the log names the actual state. The missing word is #226. 4. realpathSync ON EVERY ENGINE LOOKUP — a blocking syscall per agent per tick on the drain loop three rounds went into clearing of blocking work. Cached, with the symlink trade stated. Plus: log the TRANSITION, not the state — a 60s cooldown emitted forty identical ERROR lines, which trains people to stop reading the log. Live re-run: item 3 re-observed, item 4 NOT EVALUATED (FIRST_TURN_TIMEOUT), most likely the codex account quota that also took the codex review lane out tonight. Recorded as not-evaluated rather than as a pass or a failure.

Item 4 is a claim about THREADS: that one survives a server restart carrying its context. Nothing in it is specific to a provider. So the live test now takes T3_LIVE_HARNESS / T3_LIVE_MODEL, and it was re-run under claude/claude-haiku-4-5 on the current head: cold start pid 46899 → turn 1 → restart, data dir preserved → pid 52501 → turn 2 returned the codeword established before the restart → stop. 2 passed, 21.9s. Both criteria observed on the current code, not on the code that first established them. The DEFAULT is unchanged — codex/gpt-5.6-luna — so the earlier recorded runs still describe a plain invocation, and every COULD_NOT_TELL message now names the driver in use, so a run cannot report an outcome without saying which driver produced it. This also removes the round-2..7 changes from suspicion for the codex timeout: same head, same server, same criterion, different provider, passes.

Two causes, one sentence, in the code written to fix exactly that. Refused separately now, naming which it is. 2. The dismiss() dual-meaning warning moved to the DEFINITION.

The verification record states plainly that a thread-backed architect receives NO gate notice: porch gates are sent --no-enter and threads refuse that terminally. Not "told late" — not told. Correct for a composer-less transport, and a real hole in the workflow, so it is written down rather than left to be derived from two facts in different files. 4. installThreadSpawnFactory's dormancy is pinned by a TEST rather than a comment. That chooseSpawnPath has no Tower-side consumer is a fact with a shelf life and a comment will not fail when it changes. Mutation-checked by adding one; a third assertion keeps the install present so the guard cannot pass by the factory simply being gone. 5. A comment at the DRAINER naming what may not be awaited there, with the three things this issue removed from that loop in three separate rounds as the evidence. It helps there because the next writer is editing the drainer.
