refactor(macapp): workroom-session becomes attach-only, so an update cannot strand a live terminal - #192
Merged
Conversation
`workroom-session` kept the half that connects and lost the half that runs. `SessionDaemon.swift` and `SessionPTY.swift` are gone, along with the client's own `launchDaemon` spawn path and the `daemon` subcommand; what remains can attach to a daemon an app at or before v2.0.0 left running, and can never be one. That is the point: waiting for the agent to soak does not drain anybody, because a user who skips a release, or holds a pane open through an update, still meets a build whose bundle has no `workroom-session` while their old daemon is still holding their shell. Wire compatibility is measured, not assumed. `WorkroomSessionProtocol` has not changed since v2.0.0, and `SessionShimCompatibilityTests` now drives this build's client against the actual shipped v2.0.0 binary, pinned as a fixture: it reattaches a session that daemon created and receives its replay. A fake built from our own protocol source could not prove this — it moves with the code it is meant to catch. Three routing bugs the removal would otherwise have introduced: `preferred()` returns an Optional. Falling back to the daemon would route new sessions at a helper this build cannot start. Nowhere is the right answer, and the pane opens a plain shell. That Optional then collapsed the probe cache: nil meant both "not asked" and "nothing available", so the unhealthy-agent path re-probed on every access — a `Process()` with a 2s deadline, on the main actor, per pane. An explicit `preferredResolved` flag keeps it to one. And the availability gate is asked at two layers, so fixing one was not a fix. `TerminalPersistentSessionPolicy` discarded a RESTORED pane's session id before anything could ask who owned it, one layer above the guard in `GhosttySurfaceView` — an unhealthy agent stranded exactly the sessions the retained client exists to reach. `isAvailable` now gates only a new id. Both fixes were mutation-probed. Reverting the policy turns `testARestoredSessionSurvivesAnUnavailableHelper` red; restoring the view's guard turns `PersistentSessionAttachGateTests` red. The service-level test does NOT catch the view regression — measured, not assumed — which is why that call site is pinned by parsing source, as `DefaultsIsolationTests` already does. Also bounds the attach handshake: `poll` ran unbounded once no settle check was pending, so a helper that accepted and went silent left the pane blank forever.

The plan said to delete `macapp/WorkroomSession/` after a release soak. A soak drains nobody — draining completes only for panes a user closes — so the directory was split instead, and the reasoning belongs next to the plan it overturns. Also pins the two eng-review items that are not done, so they are outstanding work rather than an unrecorded gap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Seven findings from an independent review of 3c18f96, all real. The one that mattered: that commit fixed "the availability gate is asked at two layers" and then pinned only one of them. Every test in `TerminalPersistentSessionPolicyTests` calls the policy directly with literal arguments, so changing the CALLER back to `hasExistingSession: false` restores the original strand-every-daemon-session bug with all eight of them green. The argument-passing half was the half that commit added, and it was the half with no pin. It has one now, and it was probed: breaking the caller fails the new test while all seven policy tests stay green. The handshake bound made a slow peer worse. Returning `.retry` on timeout reconnects and re-sends the attach, and the v2.0.0 daemon answers from a single poll iteration that runs process introspection and enqueues the whole replay before flushing — so three attempts each made the peer redo that work and handed the next attempt a busier daemon. It cannot converge. Now: one 5s wait, terminal, no retry. The final message was wrong too — "no session helper is listening" printed after three timeouts against a helper we had just connected to three times. A failed probe latched for the launch. Caching nil forever was worse than what it replaced: before, a failed probe fell back to a daemon that could still be started. The probe is a 2s-watchdogged `Process()`, so one slow first exec cost persistence until the app was quit. A nil answer now retries after 30s; a healthy answer still caches for good. The compatibility test reported its own subject failing as a skip, and did not prove replay — nothing sequenced the marker before the second attach, so live output would have passed it. It now waits for a sentinel file first, and a fixture that is present but will not run is a failure. Also: `attachCommand` required owner + binary while `launchEnvironment` required owner + binary + socket, so an unresolvable socket path produced a command with an empty environment and a dead pane. Three wrong premises in the gate test's own comments. Dead `attachedSession`/`closesAfterFlush` on `SessionConnection`, an unused `existingSocketPath`, and a "one-shot" comment on a settle check that re-arms after every output burst.

The eng review found that "if the agent breaks, you still get a working terminal" was not established, and it was right. `SessionBackendProbe` runs `wr-agent protocol` and parses a version — that answers "can this binary start and print", not "can it serve a session". A stale socket it cannot bind, a peer it cannot negotiate with, a crash between the two: all pass the probe and fail at attach. Nothing downstream could recover it. The app chooses before it forks anything — `applyPersistentSession` either hands libghostty `wr-agent attach` as `config.command` or opens a plain shell — and `wait_after_command` is false, so a relay that exits leaves a pane with no shell in it at all. The only process still able to turn that into a working terminal is the relay, by becoming the shell the pane would otherwise have run. So every failure from connect to the attach reply now execs the shell, in the pane's own directory, with the session variables stripped so nothing downstream believes it is inside a session that does not exist. It says so on the way past: persistence is lost, and a terminal that silently stopped surviving quit is worse than one that admits it — the user would otherwise find out by losing work. Two details that are easy to get wrong. `exec` runs no destructors, so the `RawMode` guard cannot restore the terminal — the agent-refused-the-attach path is past `RawMode::enter()`, and a shell handed a raw tty has no line editing, no echo and no signal keys. `restore()` is now explicit and idempotent. And a caller that asked for a specific command still gets it rather than an interactive shell, which would silently not do the thing it was asked to do. `list` deliberately does not fall back: it is a diagnostic run at a prompt, not a relay in a pane. Tests drive the real binary against a peer that accepts and then refuses to negotiate — the realistic "passed the probe, failed at attach" shape. Probed: removing the handshake fallback turns three of them red. The negative control (a healthy agent must NOT be replaced by a shell, and must not print the notice) stays green, without which every other assertion here would pass against a relay that always execs and never attaches. Two of those tests were wrong first: an absent socket in a directory that exists makes the client spawn a REAL agent, which serves the session perfectly well, so they passed without the fallback ever running. Both now assert the notice fired. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…session The last failure from the eng review, and the one that looks like success. `SessionDaemon.handleAttach` — in the shipped v2.0.0 binary, which cannot be changed — ends in `create(request:connection:)` for an id it does not hold. So attaching to a session whose shell has exited does not fail. The daemon forks a brand new shell and hands it over, and the pane comes back with a fresh prompt where a build was running, indistinguishable from a restored session. Ownership is resolved once per session and cached for the launch, which is right for routing and long outlives the session it describes, so the window is wide. `confirmBeforeAttach` asks once more, immediately before attaching, and refuses when the daemon answers that it no longer holds the session. That does not detect the substitution — it prevents it, because the daemon never gets the request that would make it create. The stale cache entry is dropped too, so a later reattach resolves afresh instead of arriving back at the same conclusion. `.unreachable` deliberately still attaches. It means we could not ask, not that the session is gone, and the substitution needs a daemon responsive enough to answer "not mine" and then fork — one too wedged to reply cannot produce the wrong result, while refusing would throw away a session that is probably still running. The residual race (answers `.owned`, loses the session before the attach lands) cannot be closed from this side of the socket and is written down rather than papered over. Prevention alone would still leave a bare prompt with no explanation, so the pane now opens on a line saying the previous terminal ended. Same shape as the agent's `fall_back_to_shell`: print, then `exec` the user's shell so it IS the pane's process. The shell path comes from the environment, so it is quoted, and that is asserted by running an injection rather than by looking for a substring — correctly quoted output still CONTAINS the injected text, which is the point, and the first version of that test failed for exactly that reason. Probed: disabling the re-check turns three of the five substitution tests red. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ilure it exists to prevent Second adversarial pass, on c249c61. Its first finding is a regression I introduced, and the worst-shaped one available. `FrameKind::Failure` matched anywhere in the stream, and that frame usually describes a session that is ALIVE. `RepaintFailed` says so outright — "the client could not take its repaint whole, so it was not attached at all… can retry from a clean terminal" — and it only fires on reattach to a session with scrollback, i.e. the pane with the user's work in it. A fatal pty read reports the same kind to an already-attached client. So a slow repaint on a remote or loaded peer exec'd a shell over a running session: unrecoverable, because exec is one-way and the retry the agent was inviting can never happen, and it handed back a healthy-looking prompt for work that was still there. That is precisely what `confirmBeforeAttach` was written to stop on the app side one commit ago. Falling back there was scope creep. A `Failure` means the agent is talking and refused THIS session; it does not mean the agent is broken. Reverted to a visible error and a non-zero exit, which is honest and leaves the session reachable from the detached-sessions list. The fallback keeps the pre-attach failures it was actually for. The rest of the pass, all confirmed by reading the code it cites: `shell::invocation` already existed and I hand-rolled past it. `-l` does not make a login shell — `argv[0]` prefixed with `-` does, and there is no flag for it — and the hand-rolled version skipped ghostty's shell integration, so the pane lost OSC 133 and OSC 7: a title the user's prompt set would latch forever and the footer would never learn the directory. It also ran a command through `$SHELL` rather than `/bin/sh -c "exec …"`, which is wrong for fish or nu. `chdir` happens inside `exec`, so a deleted working directory aborted it and produced the dead pane the fallback exists to prevent — while blaming the shell. Now requested → home → root, the chain the agent's own child uses. A hand-run `attach` opened a nested login shell instead of reporting usage. Same reasoning `list` already used. And the tests: every one drove the `-c` branch, while the app hardcodes `WORKROOM_SESSION_COMMAND` to "" — so the only branch reachable in production had no coverage at all, behind a comment claiming the two were identical. The negative control leaned on a notice string from its own commit; it now turns on `WORKROOM_SESSION_ID`, which a real session passes through and the fallback strips. One self-declared vacuous test deleted. Probed: reverting the argv[0] fix or the cwd chain each turns a test red. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Six real gaps, three of them mutation-proven against a deliberate regression of the code they cover. The one that matters: nothing anywhere reached `run_attach`'s `FrameKind::Failure` arm — the arm whose comment records that an earlier version made it a fallback and that doing so hands a healthy-looking prompt back for a session that is still running. It is now driven by a real protocol-speaking fake peer, and turning it back into a fallback fails the test. Two smaller Rust gaps: the first `give_up` (session id present, socket absent) had no coverage while its sibling did, and the deleted-cwd test ran with HOME unset, so it could not tell the HOME rung of the fallback chain from the `/` one. On the Swift side, deleting `confirmBeforeAttach` from `applyPersistentSession` left all five `DaemonSessionSubstitutionTests` green, because they drive the service and never reach the view — the same "cover the wiring, not just the writer" hole `PersistentSessionAttachGateTests` was written to close, one commit later. It now also pins the ORDERING: a confirmation after the route vetoes nothing. Plus the three shim behaviours the retirement introduced and nobody had asserted against the built binary: `daemon` is gone, an absent helper fails fast without spawning, and a wedged one is given up on rather than hanging the pane forever — the bug this branch fixed, previously untested. Accepted gap: `attachCommand`'s socket guard needs both Application Support and /tmp to be unusable, and the service hard-codes FileManager. A fourth injection seam for one guard on that path is not worth it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…w findings Six specialists and a red-team pass over the branch. The four that mattered are all cases where a fix already on this branch was narrower than its own commit message claimed. `confirmBeforeAttach` guarded the retired daemon and left the live agent open. `serve.rs` creates on first attach guarded only by `sessions.contains(id)`, exactly as `SessionDaemon.handleAttach` does — so the failure the whole thing was written to stop, a reattach silently becoming a fresh shell, still happened in full on the backend that owns every new session, and would have been the ONLY backend once the drain finished. Ownership moved onto `SessionControlPlane` so both helpers answer it, with the tri-state kept: `AgentControlClient.ownership` goes through `transact` rather than `list()`, because `list()` folds "no reply" into an empty array and a wedged agent would have read as an agent holding nothing. Restored ids only — a freshly minted id has never existed anywhere, so challenging it would refuse every new pane. The relay classifier could not work as built. The Rust agent passed the client's whole environment to the session's shell while the Swift client has always stripped `WORKROOM_SESSION_*`, so every agent-owned pane exported the variables `invoked_by_the_app` reads. Typing `wr-agent attach` in a pane attached a second relay to the session it was running inside. The agent now strips them too, which fixes the classifier and the self-attach together. The Swift shim had no fallback. `wait_after_command` is false, so the 5s handshake bound this branch added turned a wedged daemon into a destroyed pane, while the identical failure against the agent degraded to a working shell. It execs a shell now, the same way the agent does. And a wedged retired daemon could make healthy AGENT sessions unkillable: `.unreachable` resolved to nil, nil blocks `endSession`, and `reap` gates deleting a workroom on that. The agent is asked before the veto is accepted. Also from the pass: a fifth vacuous test — `testTheAttachGuardRoutesPerSession` matched `attachCommand(` against a PROSE COMMENT in the body it extracts, so deleting the real call left it green; `--session` wrote the env var that `invoked_by_the_app` then read, letting a hand-typed command forge its own evidence; `SHELL=""` gave `exec '' -l`; a directory that exists but is not searchable still aborted the exec; `execvp` PATH-searched a shell that `execve` would not. Dead code the deletion left: `SessionReplayBuffer`, most of `SessionShellIntegration`, `SessionSocket`'s server half, `RawMode::restore`, `SessionBackend.label`/`summary`. Several comments asserting things the code does not do, including two of mine. One pre-existing failure fixed in passing: `testALeftoverIndexLockIsReportedWithItsPath` compared `/var` against `/private/var` and depended on which side resolved the symlink.

The first agent probe stays synchronous — a pane asking at launch has to get a real answer or it silently loses persistence. Every RETRY moves off the main actor, because a retry is not paid once: it recurs every 30s for as long as the agent stays unhealthy, and each one is a watchdogged `Process()` worth up to 2 seconds of frozen UI, which is Sentry's AppHang threshold exactly. One retry runs at a time (`isReprobing`). The cooldown already collapses a same-turn burst of panes — they read the same `lastProbeAt` — but it cannot collapse a SLOW probe: the watchdog gives one 2s and the cooldown lapses at 30s, so without the guard a wedged helper accumulates a live process per retry. `testARetryStillInFlightIsNotJoinedByAnother` holds a probe open across two cooldowns and goes red without it. An unreachable helper is also remembered for the same 30s, so N panes opening against one wedged daemon pay the timeout once between them rather than each. Also here: - `pollTimeout` takes two optionals instead of a variadic. It runs once per wake of the relay's busiest loop, where a Swift variadic heap-allocates an Array and `compactMap` allocates a second. - `SessionProtocolVersion` carries its freeze note, where someone editing the wire format will actually read it. - The three copies of the test unix-socket listener become one. They had drifted — one omitted `sun_len`, one wrote `sun_path` with `copyBytes` and one byte by byte. - The shipped-daemon reattach waits for the output to settle rather than for a flat 3 seconds: 3.2s to 0.5s, and it no longer fails on a loaded machine. - Dropped a write-only `descriptors` field and fixed a comment naming a method that no longer exists.

…ession Four gaps the ship audit found, each one a property something already depends on and nothing measured. **`attachCommand` and `launchEnvironment` must agree.** A pane asks twice — once for the binary to fork, once for the environment it reads — and nothing in either signature says the answers have to name the same helper. If they don't, the Swift client binds the agent's socket: it takes the path a live agent's sessions are reached through and serves none of them. `testAFlappingOwnershipProbeCannotProduceAMismatchedPair` drives an ownership probe that answers owned, not-owned, owned, and goes red the moment the per-session cache is removed. `macapp/CLAUDE.md` already called that cache load-bearing; now something fails when it isn't there. **The control plane against the real v2.0.0 daemon.** `list`, `info`, `ownership` and `kill` all cross the same frozen wire the attach path does, and only attach was covered. `ownership` especially: it is the newest method on the protocol and it is what the reattach guard consults before deciding whether a user's terminal is reconnected or silently replaced. **Typing and exiting.** The existing test proved bytes flow daemon-to-pane. These two prove they flow back, and that a session's exit status becomes the pane's. Both assert the replayed marker first — without it they would pass against a session the daemon CREATED for them on attach, which is the failure this whole branch exists to prevent, and they would pass looking exactly like success. **The notice test now tests its own name.** It ended the shell with `/dev/null` on stdin, so `printf` alone satisfied it — a pane that explains itself and then dies. It now types at the pane and asserts both `$0` and the exit status, and goes red if the `exec` is dropped. Also: `ConnectionOutcome` was a two-case enum wrapping what `SessionSocket.connect` already returns as `Int32?`. 2661 tests, 0 failures. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The commit that added `lastUnreachableAt` claimed N panes against one wedged helper pay the timeout once between them. Nothing measured that, and it turned out nothing could: the test seam returned before the cooldown was consulted, so every injected ownership answer skipped the policy under test. The seam replaces the round trip, not the rule about how often to make one, so it moved below it. With the cooldown reachable, `testAWedgedHelperIsAskedOncePerCooldownNotOncePerPane` puts six panes through a helper that never answers and asserts two probes, not twelve — 2s each on the main actor during terminal restore is the difference between a slow launch and an AppHang. It goes red with the cooldown removed. Writing the matching test for the CLEARING half showed the branch was dead. `now()` is monotonic, so an entry can only be read while it is still inside the cooldown, and a helper that answered had already outlived it: clearing it could never change what the next caller sees. Branch and its vacuous test both gone, with the reasoning left where the branch was. Also documents the rollback story (design doc, Outstanding item 5), which is a release note rather than code. Rolling back to v2.0.0 replaces the contents of open terminals with fresh shells — the old daemon creates on attach for an id it does not hold — and updating again does NOT bring them back, because both helpers then claim the id and `owner(preferred:daemon:)` gives `.owned` to the daemon. Preferring the agent instead is the same coin flip facing the other way, and it breaks the case the shim exists for. 2662 app tests, 151 Rust, 10 Go packages, clippy and swift-format clean.

Nine places in the Phase 1 plan still described a world where
`macapp/WorkroomSession/` gets deleted after a release cycle and the Swift
daemon stays selectable as the rollback. Neither happened, and neither can.
Corrected, each where a reader would hit it rather than only in Outstanding:
- **Phase 1 is complete**, not "complete except its last bullet".
- **"The deletion is release-gated"** keeps its analysis and gains a superseded
banner. It is right about exposure and wrong about what a soak buys: a release
cycle validates the replacement, it does not drain anyone still holding a pane.
- **The two daemon test files** are deleted, not "staying for now". They drove a
binary this build cannot start. The version handshake — the only test anywhere
that covered it — moved to `SessionShimCompatibilityTests`.
- **`macapp/WorkroomSession/` "goes in full", including `SessionAttachClient.swift`.**
Backwards: the attach client is exactly the part that stays, because a pty a
pre-v2.0.0 daemon holds can be reached by nothing else. The daemon half went.
- **The selectable-daemon rollback was never built.** `backgroundSessions` is
still a plain `Bool`; there is no third state, and there cannot be one now that
the daemon's run half is gone.
- **Open question 14 ("what is the local rollback?") is answered: there is none,
and it was aimed at the wrong risk.** The failure that strands users is the app
updating at all — a v2.0.0 daemon holding a live shell cannot hand it over and
cannot be restarted by a build that no longer contains it. A rollback would not
have fixed that. What shipped is forward compatibility instead.
- The largest-risk reviewer concern keeps its warning and records that the
mitigation it named was not built. It was right about the seam: three routing
bugs and two create-on-attach hazards came out of exactly there, none found by
the differential harness.

If the restored session exits after confirmation,SessionDaemon.handleAttachcreates a replacement shell for the missing ID, and the pane shows a fresh prompt as a successful restore. Use a helper-side attach operation that validates ownership and attaches under one lock, or make attach reject an ID that is no longer held.

coderabbit was right about the premise and wrong about the fix, and the branch it pointed at had no test at all. `transportOutcome(isAttached:)` returns `transportFailure` only after the `.attached` frame has landed — before that it answers `.retry`. So the comment above the fallback list, which called it "only the pre-attach outcomes", was describing a list it was not looking at. That comment is now accurate. The suggested fix was to stop falling back on `transportFailure`, so an active session is not replaced by a fresh shell. Not falling back does not preserve the session: `config.wait_after_command` is false, so the relay exiting leaves a pane with no shell in it, nothing to read the error in and nothing to type into. The user loses the pane either way and learns nothing. What the post-attach case did need is its own message. It was borrowing the pre-attach one, which says persistence is gone — here the session may simply be out of reach, and reopening the pane reattaches to it. It now says that. `testTheHelperDyingMidRelayLeavesAWorkingShellNotADeadPane` kills the v2.0.0 daemon out from under a live relay and then types at the pane. Applying the suggested diff turns it red with the message naming the dead pane. One thing that had to be fixed to get a legible failure: `AttachedClient.type` used the non-throwing `FileHandle.write`, which RAISES on EPIPE. Under the mutation it took the test host down, so the regression presented as a test that had vanished from the run rather than one that failed. It throws now, and the test ignores SIGPIPE. 2663 app tests, 0 failures. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review catch. `signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN)` is process-wide, and `exec` preserves an IGNORED disposition where it resets a handler — so the test was setting it for every later test in the same host and every process spawned out of them. A shell that ignores SIGPIPE does not end a pipeline when its reader closes, which is the kind of thing that surfaces as an unrelated test hanging. Saved and restored with `defer`, which is also correct when something else set it first: the restore puts back whatever was there, not a hardcoded default.

What this is
workroom-sessionno longer runs terminals. It can still connect to one.The plan (issue #154) was to delete
macapp/WorkroomSession/oncewr-agenthad soaked for arelease cycle. That reasoning does not survive contact: a soak drains nobody. Draining completes
only for panes a user actually closes, so anyone who skips the intermediate release — or just holds
a long-lived pane through an update — meets a build with no
workroom-sessionin its bundle whiletheir old daemon is still holding their shell. Traced end to end:
resolveOwneranswers.swiftDaemon,binaryPathis nil,attachCommandis nil, and the pane silently opens a plainshell while the real work keeps running in an orphaned daemon that now never exits.
So the directory was split, not deleted. The half that RUNS terminals is gone —
SessionDaemon,SessionPTY, thedaemonsubcommand, the client's own spawn path. The half that CONNECTS to themstays. The result can attach to a daemon an app at or before v2.0.0 left running, and can never
become one. It self-obsoletes:
TODOS.mdcarries its retirement with the criteria written down,instead of a deletion waiting on a calendar.
Compatibility is measured, not assumed
git log v2.0.0..master -- macapp/WorkroomSessionProtocol/is empty, and the shipped v2.0.0workroom-session(464KB, sha2566f75e6f7…, lifted unmodified from the v2.0.0 DMG, codesignverified to
Developer ID Application: Joel Moss) is pinned atmacapp/WorkroomAppTests/Fixtures/workroom-session-v2.0.0.SessionShimCompatibilityTestsruns that binary as a daemon and drives this build against it:reattach and replay, typing, exit status,
list/info/ownership/kill, and the versionhandshake in both directions. A fake built from our own
WorkroomSessionProtocolwas considered andrejected — it reads the same source the client does, so a protocol edit moves both sides together
and the test stays green through exactly the break it exists to catch.
WorkroomSessionProtocolisfrozen while the shim ships, with the freeze written on the type.
The three bugs the removal would have introduced
preferred()returned the daemon as a fallback. There is nowhere to fall back to now, so itreturns nil — and that Optional collapsed the probe cache's nil sentinel, turning a
once-per-launch 2s main-actor probe into one per access. ~16s of frozen app on an eight-pane
restore.

Two claims I corrected rather than defended
the guard left all three tests green, because they drive the service and never reach the view.
Replaced with a source-parsing test that does pin the call site.
42b1d137's message says a mutation probe turned "three of the five" tests red. It was threeassertions across two tests. The commit is not the tip and the claim is in prose, so it is
corrected here rather than by rewriting five commits.
Rollback, which is a release note
Rolling back to v2.0.0 replaces the contents of open terminals with fresh shells: the old daemon
creates on attach for an id it does not hold. The agent's sessions are not destroyed —
wr-agentoutlives the app — but updating again does not bring them back, because both helpers then claim
the id and
owner(preferred:daemon:)gives.ownedto the daemon. Preferring the agent instead isthe same coin flip facing the other way, and it breaks the case the shim exists for. Release notes
must say: close what matters before rolling back.
