What: Candidate 1d6372d230c8d144205ca7432f62233c2265e943 carries every live-main topic onto approved upstream f798cb299a and repairs both accepted round3 question-lifetime defects.
Why: Native question admission must honor durable lifetime independently of startup listener timing and partially completed result transfers.
So what: DO NOT MERGE this draft; the parent owns fresh exact-head reviews, current CI acceptance and guarded native-history integration for #370.

Issue #370 owns the single durable task/thread/workspace/ownership handoff. This is the same proof PR, with native base branch absorb-base/f798cb299a pinned to f798cb299ac9eab9d51ef63b5159de14a2b6aa18. An ordinary main-based diff misrepresents replay ancestry; squashing into old main discards it. No integration or deployment approval is implied.

Carried origin/main/source is 0bbedbbc5d0e60620a9f285422427f3a74da21ba; last absorbed ancestor is 8d11fe1261f0dfd74f58a1b1ae8ad7e400905fcb. Fresh live-main checks still match that source. All 108 native upstream commits remain ancestors; all 98 ordered source replay anchors and first 8 repairs are unchanged, followed by this ninth repair: 107 commits above the pin, zero merges and all 42 feature IDs. No fork version bump or runtime scope change.

Round3 repair response addresses both mechanisms through one existing native lifetime policy. Native result finalization and every serialized question admission share the Orchestrator operation, including the early fork listener and the activation-parked native reactor. It retains native whole-child progress, exact backwards result-run chain ownership and pending/running continuation barriers, then rereads request state before delivery. It does not rely on the sparse missing-result recovery list or whether transfer already committed. The accepted receipt retry/dedupe, stable message identity and native-before-legacy-cancel handoff are unchanged. The unneeded reactor receipt-store wiring was removed.

On unchanged 1015964 production code, the persisted lifetime fixture has three intended failures: the active listener admits a question wake after actual live-approval expiry, and cancelled/interrupted questions remain pending after actual result-transfer commit followed by process loss before dismissal. An ordered persisted notice proves listener consumption before delegated recovery. A captured real child lock and the actual committed transfer establish the crash boundary; missing-result candidates are explicitly empty. Current code resolves invalid questions with no question message/run/provider-start effect across repeated reconstructed recovery. Completed/failed questions and pending continuations remain actionable, and a real same-child follow-up after startup gets its fresh question notice despite the old terminal task row. No broad terminal-task suppression or assertion weakening.

Evidence:

• Complete 98-row source/candidate map plus 9 repairs, JSON SHA-256 a7030caa37d9d57d530ef95fa0a9bca96af973a750739a36c3c86280d2960831; all 98 rows/first 8 repair entries unchanged from 1015964.
• Complete 102666-byte range-diff: part 1, part 2, part 3; SHA-256 51cc6f7c07a73b01ccb647129273454c64d14c54b276ef8338cd957887e93f9b.
• Original 364-row overlap part 1, part 2. Current full adjudication part 1, part 2, part 3, with all 91 rationale entries/conflict decisions. Every row survives: 271 merge both, 93 keep ours, none pending. D062 now records lifetime at admission, correcting startup-order and missing-result-list sufficiency.
• Exact current-head commands/results/log hashes and limits: all 24 clean-head acceptance commands pass with unchanged tracked inputs f1243718a26281dad8a32260a3695ecabe5eb8aa31aebb88ea213edfe8cda299. There are 2,237 focused passes, twelve package typechecks, lint 393 changed code files, format 414 matched files and 42-owner Fork Stack Model. Native group 522 passes/22 files includes the full 7-case lifetime fixture, existing receipt/handoff/lifecycle tests and native Stop/restart/provider recovery/ancestor delivery. Six gated skips and 140 name-filter exclusions are excluded from pass counts.

Representative exact commands, exit 0; complete selected tests, baseline command/digests and other results are linked above:

bash scripts/fork-check.sh --base f798cb299ac9eab9d51ef63b5159de14a2b6aa18
pnpm --filter t3 typecheck

The live blocking-wait fixture retains every assertion and now commits the independently actionable async question after its original quiet assertion. The prior batch let the active listener legitimately deliver that other question first. Original upgrade/crash-before-wake, native-commit-before-cancel, actual rejected receipt, transient failure, manual/ancestor/approval, retirement/archive/disposed/resolved and urgent-stop assertions remain.

Documented read-only-source V1 proof passes two tests. Fresh current-candidate V2 copy migrations/backfills, native readers/decoders and repeated reconstructed layers preserve frozen 11,618, 140,160-byte input SHA-256 15c88c28a01d3cb2be84e53945ece6ad42e0320a4fc27ccd17b97f58ba6165e0, with zero row/field/decoder mismatches and no repeat events/imports/migrations/markers. Positive carry includes 1,028 threads, 1,024 owners, 987 parents, 18 Issue links, 14 projects, all 8 tasks, 93 bare threads, 111 restart cuts and 192 continuation references plus all captured projections/receipts/bindings/outbox and Prism/Spectrum rows. No live source was opened writable.

Current exact-head CI owns the full suite and retains upstream checks. Parent owns complete-CI acceptance and fresh independent rounds with the original briefs, all prior findings and responses. Historical request-changes verdicts remain on their reviewed commits; none approves this candidate.

Limits: startup proof runs actual ordered startup and ProviderRuntimeRecovery on private persisted fixtures with import/effect-worker/bootstrap callbacks held as no-ops. Data proof is isolated migration/read/decoder/reconstructed-layer preservation. No running server/provider worker, installed-artifact/fleet verification, browser/computer use or repo-wide local check occurred. Positive real V1 conversion, shared co-owners, task origins, bare tasks and webhook tasks remain absent; focused synthetic tests cover those mechanisms. The Node 24.13.1 raw-buffer fixture failure is a fixture/floor limitation, not proof every production artifact fails; reviews found SEA pins 26.8.2 and no production raw-buffer SQL caller in inspected paths. Proof uses task-local 24.22.0; artifact compatibility remains parent-owned.

Private current proof location: /home/luke/scratch/chromeria-370-20261015-proof/final-1d6372d230c8. All three previous immutable archives remain preserved. Raw JSON/logs/data and scratch stay outside source/public records; task resources remain for parent review and terminal retirement. No main replacement, merge, installed build, stage/swap/restart, other-workspace write, new delegate, machine/runbook change or Observer capture/publication occurred.

Requirements and who asked: User and docs/fork.md require fixed-pin native absorption, every live-main topic/feature, complete source/overlap evidence and exact-head proof; parent accepts both round3 lifetime P2s in this same draft PR.
Deleted: Startup-order and missing-result-list sufficiency, duplicate lifetime policy, activation flags, broad terminal suppression, generic machinery, weakened assertions, data/feature loss and prior-head approval transfer.
Bottleneck: Parent-owned fresh exact-head reviews and complete current CI/integration acceptance, then separately owned artifact/fleet delivery.
Checked myself: Exclusive workspace/head/live refs, 108 native commits, 98 unchanged source anchors / 9 repairs, 42 feature IDs, 364 overlap rows / 91 rationales, all wake producers/locks, both actual persisted failure windows, 24 clean-head proof identities and frozen-source data preservation.

Verdict: request changes for exact candidate 335ff49f2f31f9e6d38375d90ad440fff2343572. One blocking P2 finding.

• P2: Startup recovery can discard a pending delegated question’s only notice. In requestWake.ts:59, every direct app-owned user_input request is excluded from fork delivery. The subsequent cancellation path cancels its older queued fork notice without checking that a native replacement exists.

  Trigger: upgrade with a pending message-answerable question and an undelivered fork question notice, or restart after the question commits but before its native wake commits.

  Reachable effect: the parent loses the question notice. ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService.ts:257 deliberately preserves message-answerable questions. However, DelegatedTaskQuestionReactor.ts:173 only subscribes to the live event stream, and its parent-run catch-up handles live questions only. Startup recoverDelegatedTasks therefore supplies no replacement for this persisted question.

  Required correction: preserve durable question recovery when transferring wake ownership. Add focused coverage that reconstructs startup with the pending question and queued legacy notice, then proves one actionable notice survives repeated recovery. This finding is established by the source paths; I did not run a reproduction under the reviewer restrictions.

The following concerns are cleared within the inspected scope:

• The final urgent-restart test correction waits for both persisted milestones. It retains both children’s interruption assertions and their ordering before replacement.
• Native workspace leases retain the ContextMD reservation lifecycle and defer provider execution until after lease release.
• Routine next-turn selection behavior and explicit urgent restart remain distinct. Same-identity follow-up handling, HTML outline/cache integration with Issue links, and native rejected-link adoption retain their corresponding fork hooks.

I inspected the complete 98-row source mapping, complete range-diff, all 364 overlap dispositions and their 91 rationale entries, the six repair commits, retained feature ownership, and relevant native/fork consumers. I independently confirmed 108 upstream commits, 104 candidate commits, zero merges, all 42 feature owners, and all 73 reported stable-patch equivalences. Recomputed range-diff bytes match the published digest; the referenced public evidence bodies match their retained files.

The 396-file proof manifest matches 01056e09b3a4c5e405b1b70f92cc9cbe44d61af104d675655c48e8ef3d27ff5f. All 24 acceptance records bind to the clean exact candidate, unchanged input manifest 00885be5c9522134431b7c6f128a2f6c142c65099ec9e904b2203fa4620378d3, exit zero and matching log hashes. Their logs support 2,154 passing focused tests, twelve package typechecks and the recorded static checks. Current candidate CI, including the fingerprint recheck, is green.

Proof limits remain material: snapshot evidence establishes isolated migration, decoding, preservation and repeated-start convergence. It does not exercise question-wake startup behavior or prove a running-server restart. Positive real V1 feature rows, shared co-owners, task origins, bare tasks and webhook tasks remain absent. The older-Node raw-buffer failure remains a compatibility limitation, not evidence that every production artifact fails: the SEA build pins Node 26.8.2, while actual installed-artifact compatibility remains parent-owned.

Verdict: request changes for exact candidate 335ff49f2f31f9e6d38375d90ad440fff2343572. One required P2 finding.

P2: Direct delegated questions lose startup recovery. requestWake.ts:65 suppresses every direct app-owned child question, including durable asynchronous questions, and the following cancellation path removes older queued fork notices.

The reachable trigger is upgrading with an unanswered asynchronous question from a completed delegated child, or restarting after the question commits but before its native wake commits. ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService.ts:265 deliberately preserves message-capable questions, and Orchestrator.ts:12668 invokes fork request recovery. That recovery now suppresses the question, while the native reactor subscribes only to new events through streamDomainEvents; its parent-run catch-up handles only live questions. Consequently, the question survives but its parent notification can disappear permanently.

Preserve idempotent startup catch-up under the native question owner before cancelling the previous notice. The focused regression should recreate the runtime with an app-owned child, a pending message-capable question and an older queued fork notice, then assert one usable notification after first and repeated startup. This finding is source-traced; I did not run an experiment under the review restrictions. The existing recreated-runtime question test uses a manual child, so it does not cover this suppression branch.

Other inspected concerns:

• The final child-registration correction waits for both persisted facts and retains both children’s cancellation and stop-before-replacement assertions.
• Routine apply_on_next_turn steering retains native behavior; explicit urgent restart still requests cancellation. The revised root-writer test distinguishes the next run from a replacement attempt and retains its output-ownership assertions.
• Workspace startup releases its lease before provider execution, while ContextMD reservations retain finalizer cleanup. Bare starts skip those reservations.
• HTML outline measurement, cached rendering, Issue-link routing, native rejected-link adoption, retained credential recovery and same-identity follow-up paths produced no additional supported finding.

Evidence and scope: I inspected #370, #371 and the current handoff/proof records; regenerated the complete range-diff; verified every source/candidate patch hash and stable patch ID; and checked all 364 original overlap rows remain adjudicated. Git confirms 108 native commits, 98 ordered replay anchors, six repairs, zero merges and all 42 feature IDs. I also confirmed 650 fork-only paths remain unchanged from source and 344 native-only paths match the approved target. Review covered cumulative preservation and integration, with manual tracing concentrated on the shared consumers and identified seams.

All 396 retained proof files match the proof manifest. The 24 exact-candidate acceptance records show exit zero, including 2,154 focused tests and twelve typechecks. The inspected V2 harness/logs support the reported preservation, decoder and repeated-layer-start results. Current CI and both fingerprint checks were successful when read.

Limits: No tests, builds, servers, database execution, browsers or machine changes were performed. Real positive V1 conversion, shared co-owners, task origins, bare tasks and webhook tasks remain outside the real-source proof. Live restart, artifact compatibility and fleet health remain unverified here.

The raw-ArrayBuffer fixture and declared Node floor predate this absorption. Its recorded 24.13.1 failure is relevant, but I found no production raw-ArrayBuffer SQL caller in the inspected persistence paths; the fixture alone does not establish that every artifact requires the newer runtime.

What: Commit 925e44a0ee91d0f227782a198d99b4d666dd8d5e repairs the single shared P2 from both independent reviews of335ff49.
Why: Blanket fork suppression removed a persisted question's old queued notice before the native event-only owner had guaranteed a replacement.
So what: Current-head proof and CI are refreshing; the parent will dispatch fresh exact-head review rounds with both original findings and this response. PR371 stays draft DO NOT MERGE on its unchanged native proof base.

Accepted unchanged reviews: A, B. Parent adjudication. No other supported finding was accepted. Old review/independent failure remains bound to 335ff49f2f31f9e6d38375d90ad440fff2343572; this writer does not assign the new review status.

The native question owner now exposes shared reconciliation used by the live reactor and existing persisted recoverDelegatedTasks request sweep. It retains native stable command/message identity and the live blocking-wait rule. Pending message-answerable questions recover even if the child completed. A successful native dispatch commits/replays its durable receipt before the old queued fork notice is cancelled; dispatch failure leaves the old notice intact. Repeating after native commit but before legacy cancellation replays that native identity and completes cleanup without adding a second native notice. Resolved, archived, retired and disposed questions cancel stale queued notices without a new wake; archived shells participate in startup cleanup. Manual children, approvals and higher-ancestor fork wakes keep their existing delivery path. The feature ownership inventory includes the native reactor hook and shared question module under child-threads; all42 feature entries remain.

Failing-before command, production files still exactly335ff49 with only the first two regression cases added:

pnpm exec vp test run apps/server/src/childThreads/requestWake.test.ts -t 'startup recovers a completed app-owned'

Both cases fail with expected [] to have a length of 1 but got +0: an app-owned completed child, durable pending message-capability question, and either a queued pre-upgrade fork notice or no committed native wake. Exit1, complete logSHA256 4581839f2fbb1f84f2ad0c77ece0f9188c8b096122bdfa9446d773f12ac232a3; baseline test-input manifestSHA256 2f5ed81946a988973cbb8f735eeb445aa9922652722908b5de52ada209604967. Old335ff49 proof and repairs remain preserved separately.

Expanded passing coverage reconstructs independent file-backed runtimes with no live listeners for question commits, uses the actual public persisted startup recovery operation, and repeats it within and across boots. It asserts one actionable native notice, read/respond instructions, correct task/child provenance and removal of the old queued notice. Fault injection covers failed native dispatch and process loss after native commit/before legacy cancellation; lifecycle phases cover resolved/archived/retired/disposed cleanup. Existing native control-read coverage retains live blocking waits, later parent-run catch-up and deduplication, including no replacement of approval routing. Pre-freeze affected feedback:63 passing tests across seven files, server typecheck and scoped lint pass. Full clean925e44a candidate proof will be linked from #370; these dirty feedback results are not exact-head acceptance.

Current branch chore/370-upstream-f798cb299a, base absorb-base/f798cb299a at approved f798cb299ac9eab9d51ef63b5159de14a2b6aa18; carried source remains 0bbedbbc5d0e60620a9f285422427f3a74da21ba. All98 source replay anchors remain unchanged, plus seven explicit repairs, zero merges. Related upstream Issue15082 and complete openPR19229 diff were checked; neither current upstream main nor that PR adds durable native parent-question catch-up. The approved target is unchanged.

The older Node24.13.1 raw-buffer fixture failure remains a fixture/floor limitation. It does not establish that every production artifact fails; reviewers found SEA pins26.8.2 and no production raw-buffer SQL caller in the inspected paths. Proof uses task-local supported Node24.22.0. This repair makes no runtime/package version change; actual artifact compatibility remains parent-owned.

Private proof working files remain /tmp/chromeria-370; final immutable proof directory will be recorded in the single #370 durable handoff. No scratch, raw JSON/log, private data or screenshot is committed. No delegation, browser, live database server, installed build, main mutation, merge, deployment, runbook or Observer publication occurred.

Requirements and who asked: Parent accepted both reviewers' single P2 and requests durable idempotent native recovery, safe legacy handoff and focused failing-before proof under the original fixed-pin absorption scope.
Deleted: Blanket suppression without replacement, duplicate native policy, new persisted flags/services, unrelated runtime changes, assertion weakening and old-head approval transfer.
Bottleneck: Complete current-head proof/CI, then parent-owned independent exact-head review and integration acceptance.
Checked myself: Both complete reviews and source paths, production startup ordering, two intended baseline failures, actual first/repeated recovery assertions, handoff fault windows, lifecycle cleanup, original live-wait/approval/ancestor tests and unchanged live main/base.

Verdict: request changes for exact candidate 925e44a0ee91d0f227782a198d99b4d666dd8d5e. Two required P2 findings remain. Both are source-traced; I ran no experiments under the review restrictions.

1. P2: A real rejected dispatch permanently prevents question recovery.
   DelegatedTaskQuestions.ts:63 always dispatches the same command ID. A planning failure, such as the parent’s configured provider instance being temporarily unavailable, persists a rejected receipt through Orchestrator.ts:12416. Subsequent recovery returns OrchestratorCommandPreviouslyRejectedError at line 12160 without retrying planning.

   Trigger: a pending durable question has no legacy notice, native delivery receives a persisted rejection, and the underlying configuration problem is subsequently repaired.

   Effect: the question remains pending without a parent notice across repeated recovery and restarts. Preserving an existing legacy notice does not cover this missing-notice case.

   The new failure test at requestWake.test.ts:738 fails before calling the orchestrator, so it creates no rejected receipt.

   Required correction: permit recovery after a rejected attempt while retaining accepted-command deduplication and stable message identity. Add a reconstructed-runtime regression that creates an actual rejected receipt, removes its cause, and proves exactly one actionable notice survives repeated recovery.

2. P2: Startup can start a question wake that native finalization immediately makes obsolete.
   Orchestrator.ts:12668 performs question recovery before finalizing recovered child results. The shared helper’s pending predicate does not account for a cancelled child result whose question native finalization must dismiss.

   Trigger: an abrupt restart preserves a message-answerable question, runtime recovery cancels its child run with no pending continuation, and the parent has no blocking run.

   Effect: question recovery dispatches a parent run in starting state. Later finalizeAppOwnedSubagent resolves the cancelled child’s question, but both question cleanup paths cancel only queued runs. The already-starting parent therefore executes an obsolete question notification, potentially followed by a separate cancellation-result notification.

   Native ThreadStop.test.ts:788 establishes the intended distinction: cancelled/interrupted tasks resolve their asynchronous questions; completed/failed tasks retain them.

   Required correction: settle questions that cancellation invalidates before admitting their recovered wakes. Add startup coverage with an idle parent and cancelled child without continuation, asserting dismissal without a question-start effect. Preserve completed-child questions and pending restart continuations.

The original upgrade and missing-native-wake cases are repaired when native dispatch succeeds. Accepted receipt replay precedes legacy cancellation, repeated recovery deduplicates delivery, and interruption after native commit converges. Native blocking-live waits, approval and ancestor routing, archived cleanup and same-identity follow-ups remain present.

Other inspected seams produced no additional supported finding: workspace leases retain ContextMD reservation cleanup and release before provider execution; routine apply_on_next_turn steering remains separate from explicit urgent restart; the child-registration correction retains both children’s cancellation and stop-before-replacement assertions; HTML measurement/cache behavior retains Issue routing; rejected-link adoption retains fork credential recovery.

I independently verified:

• 108 native upstream commits, 98 ordered source replay anchors, seven repairs, zero merges and all 42 retained feature IDs.
• Every mapped patch hash and stable patch ID, including all 73 equivalents; regenerated complete range-diff matches f7250a28855733cbf6096ae55fc4432e351cf27514d06d215b573eb85fc3dc35.
• All 364 original overlap rows remain adjudicated against 91 rationale entries and matching native diff hashes.
• All 546 proof-manifest entries match manifest 7bf7792253cc9c9d9f3ee6949db310c155d8db7f8ea7094b56d54f0ecf7dce12.

• Current public mapping, range-diff, overlap, response and proof bodies match retained files. Current CI is green with policy skips; independent review remains pending.

Review covered cumulative preservation through mapping, complete range-diff, overlap adjudication and surrounding consumers, with manual tracing concentrated on integration risks. This is not a claim of uniform line-by-line inspection of every retained fork or native file.

Snapshot proof supports isolated preservation, decoding and reconstructed-layer convergence. It does not establish running-server restart behavior, installed-artifact compatibility or fleet health. Positive real V1 feature conversion, shared co-owners, task origins, bare tasks and webhook tasks remain outside real-source coverage. The older-Node raw-buffer fixture failure does not establish universal production failure; artifact compatibility remains parent-owned.

[lukemaj]

Verdict: request changes for exact candidate 925e44a0ee91d0f227782a198d99b4d666dd8d5e. One required P2 finding remains.

P2: A persisted rejection prevents subsequent question-wake recovery. DelegatedTaskQuestions.ts:63 always dispatches the same native command ID. Production dispatch records planning failures as rejected receipts at Orchestrator.ts:12415, and subsequent dispatches of that ID return OrchestratorCommandPreviouslyRejectedError at Orchestrator.ts:12160.

A concrete reachable trigger is an app-owned child asking a durable question while its active parent has a pending merge-back transfer. Native queued dispatch explicitly rejects that state at Orchestrator.ts:5260; the merge-back command permits creating that transfer without requiring an idle target.

After the transfer clears, repeated recovery still encounters the rejected receipt instead of planning a notification. With no legacy notice, the durable question remains without a parent wake. Preserving an existing legacy notice improves that case, but does not repair recovery when no notice exists.

The failed-native-dispatch regression injects failure before calling orchestrator.dispatch, so it creates no rejected receipt and misses this production behavior. Required correction: allow recovery after a persisted rejection while preserving accepted-notification deduplication and dispatch-before-cancel ordering. Add a persisted regression through the real dispatcher, clear the original rejection condition, and verify one actionable notice across repeated reconstructed recovery. This finding is source-traced; no reviewer experiment was run under the restrictions.

The prior findings and other inspected concerns are adjudicated as follows:

• The original upgrade and question-commit-before-wake windows are repaired when native dispatch succeeds. Shared reconciliation reaches persisted completed-child questions, retains live blocking-wait behavior, and completes the native-commit-before-legacy-cancel handoff idempotently. The rejected-receipt case above remains unresolved.
• The urgent-restart fixture correction waits for both persisted milestones and retains both children’s interruption and stop-before-replacement assertions. Native apply_on_next_turn steering remains distinct from explicit urgent restart.
• Workspace leases and ContextMD reservation cleanup, same-identity follow-ups, HTML measurement/outline/cache composition with Issue routing, and native rejected-link adoption with retained credential recovery produced no additional supported finding.

I inspected #370, #371, the repair response and current handoff/proof records, the complete 98-row mapping, complete range-diff, all 364 overlap dispositions and 91 rationale entries, seven repair commits, and relevant native/fork consumers. Cumulative preservation review included retained feature ownership and tree comparisons; manual source tracing concentrated on the identified integration seams.

Independent Git verification confirms 108 native upstream commits, 98 ordered replay anchors plus seven repairs, zero merges, all 42 feature IDs, and all 73 reported stable-patch equivalences. Every recorded source/candidate patch hash matched. Regenerated range-diff bytes match the published digest. The current public mapping, range-diff, overlap, rationale and proof comments match their retained files.

All 546 proof-manifest entries match manifest SHA-256 7bf7792253cc9c9d9f3ee6949db310c155d8db7f8ea7094b56d54f0ecf7dce12. All 24 acceptance records bind to the clean exact candidate, exit zero and matching logs.

Inspected logs support 2,158 focused passes, twelve typechecks and the recorded static checks. Current non-skipped CI checks are successful; independent-review status remains parent-owned and pending.

Proof limits remain: the data harness establishes isolated migration/backfill/read preservation and reconstructed-layer convergence, including the reported 1,028 threads, eight tasks, 93 bare threads, 111 restart cuts and 192 continuation references. It does not establish a running-server restart, installed-artifact compatibility or fleet health. Positive real V1 feature rows, shared co-owners, task origins, bare tasks and webhook tasks remain absent. The Node 24.13.1 raw-buffer fixture failure is a compatibility limitation, not demonstrated universal production failure; actual packaged compatibility remains parent-owned.

What: Repair 10159646dd1bb78e38bd9aeffbf26289cb5e29af addresses both accepted round2 P2 mechanisms with failing-before regressions through their actual persisted owners.
Why: A rejected receipt cannot later replay into success, and recovered child-question state must be finalized before a parent wake is admitted.
So what: The parent dispatches fresh independent reviews of this exact head with the original briefs, both rounds' findings and these responses; PR371 remains draft DO NOT MERGE.

Both unchanged reports remain authoritative review evidence for925e44a: A, B. Their failed verdict stays on that head. This response is implementation evidence, not a new review verdict or approval transfer.

• P2-1, persisted rejection: native question reconciliation reads the existing command-receipt store, skips only durable rejected question attempts, and reuses the accepted attempt with the same stable message identity. Each reconciliation dispatches once; receipt history remains intact and native commit/replay still precedes legacy cancellation. The file-backed regression uses the real dispatcher with a missing registered provider, asserts the rejected receipt, reconstructs with the provider restored and requires exactly one actionable notice/run over repeated recovery and two subsequent boots. Baseline production925e44a fails with zero notices after provider restoration. The earlier pre-dispatch injected failure remains useful for its narrower window but is not claimed as rejected-receipt proof. No generic retries, new service or persisted counter was added.
• P2-2, startup ordering: existing native child-result finalization now runs before the recovery request sweep. The new file-backed startup test runs actual ordered V2 startup and ProviderRuntimeRecovery with an idle parent and resumable child. Without a continuation, the child's question resolves and creates no question run/message or start effect. Its positive native pending-continuation case preserves the pending question, unsettled result and single native wake/start effect. Baseline925e44a already passes that positive case but fails the no-continuation case with an obsolete question run in starting. Completed/failed durable questions and native live blocking-wait policy remain unchanged.

Exact red commands, each exit1 with its intended failure:

Existing upgrade/crash windows, native commit-before-cancel, transient failure, live waits, manual/ancestor/approval delivery and resolved/retired/archive/disposed cleanup assertions remain intact. No assertion was weakened.

The ordered-startup test holds import/effect-worker/bootstrap callbacks as no-ops and starts no server/provider. Real data proof uses isolated copies, not installed-artifact/fleet execution. All other documented snapshot and older-Node fixture limits remain. Full current-head CI and fresh independent review are parent-owned gates.

Deleted: Generic command retries, persisted attempt counters, broad terminal-child suppression, mock-only receipt proof, weakened assertions, version/runtime scope expansion and stale approval transfer.
Bottleneck: Parent-owned fresh exact-head reviews, current complete CI acceptance and subsequent guarded integration/artifact delivery.

Verdict: request changes for exact candidate 10159646dd1bb78e38bd9aeffbf26289cb5e29af. One required P2 finding remains, source-traced without reviewer execution.

P2: The active request listener can bypass startup finalization ordering. Orchestrator.ts:12649 starts the fork request listener during Orchestrator construction. Every runtime-request.updated event calls requestWake(childId), including events emitted by runtime recovery. This listener does not wait for activation or delegated-child finalization.

Trigger: an unfinished app-owned child has a pending durable message question without an accepted native wake, another pending live request such as an approval, no restart continuation, and an idle parent. Codex permits asynchronous message questions while work continues.

ProviderRuntimeRecoveryService.ts:265 preserves the message question but expires the live request, publishing runtime-request.updated. The already-active listener can then reconcile all that child’s requests before recoverDelegatedTasks finalizes it. Shared reconciliation sees the still-pending question and dispatches its parent wake.

Reachable effect: with no blocking parent run, the question wake enters starting and records a provider-start effect. Subsequent finalization dismisses the cancelled child’s question, but question cleanup cancels only queued runs. The obsolete wake therefore survives for execution when workers activate. Parking DelegatedTaskQuestionReactor does not constrain this separate listener.

Required correction: enforce finalization-before-wake admission for the internal request listener as well as the explicit startup sweep. Extend the persisted startup regression with a pending live approval alongside the durable message question, and synchronize consumption of the recovery event before delegated recovery. Assert no obsolete question message, run or start effect, while retaining the positive continuation case. The current fixture contains only the message question, so runtime recovery emits no request-expiration event to exercise this bypass.

The previous findings are adjudicated as follows:

• Cleared: persisted rejection lockout. Receipt lookup advances only past known rejected attempts, preserves accepted-command replay and stable message identity, and dispatches before legacy cancellation. Parent command serialization handles concurrent callers selecting the same attempt.
• Cleared within the inspected cases: completed-child upgrade recovery, missing native wakes, native-commit-before-legacy-cancel recovery, blocking live waits, ancestor/approval routing and lifecycle cleanup.
• Partially repaired: explicit startup sweep ordering now respects cancellation finalization and pending continuations. The listener bypass above leaves the same underlying obsolete-wake outcome reachable.
• Workspace leases with ContextMD reservation cleanup, routine steering versus explicit urgent restart, same-identity follow-ups, HTML outline/cache/expiry with Issue routing, and rejected-link adoption with credential recovery produced no additional supported finding. The urgent fixture retains both registration milestones and both children’s stop-before-replacement assertions.

Verdict: request changes for exact candidate 10159646dd1bb78e38bd9aeffbf26289cb5e29af. One required P2 finding remains.

P2: Restart recovery skips question dismissal once the cancelled child’s result has transferred.

Orchestrator.ts:12668 runs finalization only for subagent-results recovery candidates. The underlying delegatedFollowupQueries.ts:59 excludes runs whose result transfer already exists. Its other two candidate branches also exclude the transferred-result state.

Trigger: an app-owned child has a pending message-capable question, ends cancelled/interrupted without a pending continuation, and the process stops after committing its result transfer but before dismissing its question. Assume no other untransferred child work and no retirement/disposal.

This window exists because finalization commits context-transfer.created at Orchestrator.ts:11402, then performs question dismissal separately at line 11544. On reconstruction:

• Provider runtime recovery preserves message-capable requests.
• The transferred child is omitted from subagent-results, so its dismissal code never runs.
• The subsequent request sweep treats the question as pending. It can enqueue/start an obsolete parent notification when no native wake was previously accepted, while the invalidated question remains answerable.

Moving finalization before the sweep fixes the tested uninterrupted startup path, but does not recover this partially completed finalization. The new startup fixture begins before result transfer and therefore misses this state.

Required correction: recover pending cancelled/interrupted questions independently of whether their result already transferred, before admitting question wakes. Retain native run-chain and pending-continuation policy. Add a file-backed regression reconstructing after result-transfer commit but before dismissal, asserting resolution without a question notification/start effect across repeated recovery. Preserve completed/failed questions and pending continuations.

This finding is source-traced; I performed no experiment under the reviewer restrictions.

The other previous objections are cleared within the inspected scope:

• Persisted rejection recovery now advances only past known rejected receipts, retains accepted replay and stable message identity, and dispatches before cancelling legacy notices. The retained red evidence exercises the real dispatcher.
• Completed-child upgrade and missing-native-wake recovery remain present, including repeated reconstruction and native-commit-before-legacy-cancel recovery.
• Normal startup finalization precedes wake admission; the positive pending-continuation case remains intact.
• Workspace leases and ContextMD reservation cleanup, routine steering versus explicit urgent restart, same-identity follow-ups, HTML cache/outline composition with Issue routing, and rejected-link adoption with retained credential recovery produced no additional supported finding.

I independently verified 108 native upstream commits, 98 ordered source anchors plus eight repairs, zero merges, all 42 feature IDs, every mapped patch hash and stable patch ID, and all 73 reported patch equivalents. The regenerated complete range-diff matches 9a012dde5b5fcb5faf917e4b88e5ff93bbc71aec81b21a366d46e2a7f9f27a4e.

What: Candidate 1d6372d230c8d144205ca7432f62233c2265e943 repairs both accepted round3 lifetime mechanisms at one native question-admission owner.
Why: Startup-only finalization ordering missed an active listener and a crash after result transfer but before separate question dismissal.
So what: Parent dispatches fresh independent exact-head reviews with original briefs, all prior findings and responses; this same PR371 remains draft DO NOT MERGE.

Full unchanged reports B and A both clear the prior durable rejected-receipt correction. Their request-changes verdicts stay with 1015964; no prior verdict approves this candidate.

The existing native cancelled/interrupted question policy is now an Orchestrator-owned operation called by result finalization and every serialized native question admission. The native reactor calls a narrow Orchestrator method; fork listener/startup uses the same operation through its already-parent-locked callback. It keeps exact backwards result-run chain ownership and the existing pending/running restart-continuation barrier, then rereads the request before delivery. It works regardless of whether the sparse missing-result list includes this child or a result transfer already exists. Only pending message questions load child control history. No activation flag, duplicate lifetime predicate, broad terminal-task suppression, generic service, new persistence or all-history scan was introduced. The now-unnecessary reactor receipt-store composition was removed.

• B, active listener: the persisted child has a durable message question plus live approval, idle parent, no accepted question notice and no continuation. Actual ProviderRuntimeRecovery expires the approval. A later persisted manual approval notice on the same sequential listener proves it consumed the recovery event before delegated recovery. Before the fix, the parent already has a question run and the quiet-admission assertion fails. Current code resolves the question first and creates no question message/run/provider-start effect.
• A, partial finalization: the actual native finalizer commits its actual result transfer while a captured real child lock blocks dismissal. The test awaits that commit, interrupts only the captured finalization fiber, releases the lock and reconstructs. It explicitly asserts there is no missing-result recovery candidate or other untransferred child work; the fixture has no retirement/disposal. Before the fix, both cancelled and interrupted questions stay pending. Current code resolves them without question messages/runs/start effects across repeated recovery and another reconstructed process. The result remains transferred once.

Primary baseline, production unchanged from 1015964 and only one tracked test file changed:

pnpm exec vp test run apps/server/src/childThreads/requestWake.startup.test.ts

Exit1: three intended failures and four passing positives. Log SHA-256 d68ff8832f5a5b43029ef0b9d55d60c372d3f21231c69842f14f89e45a93e4d6; tracked-input manifest 22745774d3b2b4f0552b7b888cefad68484c06d9f278f41c7ffc7cdfbb12f201; exact retained source SHA-256 3d3cc25bdb44e0d7f3710c17c5f06947400efc964e0ba16b501bf3092242dbe7, included in that manifest. Comparing every baseline tracked input against the prior clean 1015964 proof confirms only this test differs.

All seven current cases pass. Completed/failed post-transfer questions and the original native pending-continuation positive remain actionable. A real same-child follow-up after ordered startup asks a fresh question and receives one notice despite its old terminal task row, rejecting broad terminal suppression. Repeated recovery converges. Existing upgrade/crash-before-native-wake, native-commit-before-cancel, actual rejected receipts, transient failure, live waits, ancestor/approval and retired/archive/disposed/resolved assertions remain.

The native live-wait test keeps every assertion, but introduces the independently actionable async question after its original quiet assertion. Previously the active listener could legitimately deliver that async question from the same committed batch before the assertion. Initial schema/setup and unsupported live-approval/automatic-continuation diagnostics are retained and excluded; live approvals intentionally prevent automatic restart continuation, so the original compatible positive is retained.

Exact-head proof records all 24 clean unchanged-input commands passing: 2,237 focused passes, twelve typechecks, affected lint 393 code files/format 414 matched files, 42-owner Fork Stack Model and fresh isolated V1/V2 proof. Native seam group 522 passes/22 files includes the full new lifetime fixture and native Stop/restart/provider-recovery/ancestor delivery. Input manifest f1243718a26281dad8a32260a3695ecabe5eb8aa31aebb88ea213edfe8cda299. Current full CI remains the complete-suite owner; parent accepts it and fresh exact-head reviews.

Mapping preserves 98 unchanged source anchors plus 9 repairs, including the unchanged first 8 repairs. All 364 overlap rows and 91 rationale entries remain, with D062 corrected to lifetime at admission. Data and startup proof limits remain explicit: isolated persisted services/layers, no server/provider worker, installed-artifact/fleet or browser verification. Older Node raw-buffer fixture limitations establish no universal artifact failure. Fixed upstream remains f798cb299ac9eab9d51ef63b5159de14a2b6aa18; source remains 0bbedbbc5d0e60620a9f285422427f3a74da21ba.

Requirements and who asked: Parent accepts both distinct round3 P2s; user requires every admission to honor native lifetime, preserved features/data and meaningful exact-head proof in the same PR/workspace.
Deleted: Startup-order and missing-result-list sufficiency, duplicate policy, phase flags, generic machinery, broad terminal suppression, weakened assertions and old-head approval transfer.
Bottleneck: Parent-owned fresh exact-head review and complete current CI/integration acceptance before separately owned delivery.
Checked myself: Full A/B reports, all wake producers/locks/activation, actual native progress/run-chain/continuation policy, both actual persisted failure mechanisms, every baseline/current tracked-input identity, current focused/static/data proof and all 98 unchanged source rows/42 feature IDs.

[lukemaj]

Verdict: approve the code and retained proof for exact candidate 1d6372d230c8d144205ca7432f62233c2265e943. No supported required or optional finding remains within the inspected cumulative scope. This verdict does not authorize merging the draft proof PR into its upstream-only base.

Every prior objection is cleared against this candidate:

• Completed-child upgrade and missing-native-wake recovery: persisted reconciliation retains actionable durable questions, replays accepted native delivery before cancelling legacy notices, and converges across repeated reconstruction.
• Persisted rejected receipts: recovery advances only past known rejected attempts while retaining stable message identity and accepted-command deduplication. The retained regression creates a real rejected receipt through production dispatch.
• Startup finalization ordering: cancelled/interrupted questions without continuations resolve before wake admission. Completed/failed questions and pending continuations remain actionable.
• Active-listener bypass: the construction-time listener now reaches the same Orchestrator-owned lifetime operation under the parent lock. Its regression expires an actual live approval and establishes listener consumption before delegated recovery.
• Crash after result transfer: question reconciliation no longer depends on missing-result candidates or an uncommitted transfer. The persisted cancelled/interrupted cases interrupt actual finalization after transfer commits and reconstruct with an empty missing-result candidate list.
• Concurrency and test corrections: native admission acquires the parent lock; already-locked fork callers avoid reacquisition; dismissal follows the existing parent-to-child lock order. Fresh same-child follow-up questions remain actionable. The live-wait correction retains every original assertion, and the urgent-restart fixture retains both registration milestones and both children’s stop-before-replacement assertions.

I inspected the cumulative source mapping, complete range-diff, all overlap dispositions and rationales, nine repairs, and surrounding consumers at the principal integration seams. Workspace leases retain ContextMD reservation cleanup and release before provider execution; routine next-turn steering remains distinct from urgent restart; HTML outline/cache/expiry retains Issue routing; native rejected-link handling retains fork credential recovery. No additional supported finding emerged from those paths.

Independent verification established:

• 108 native upstream commits, 98 ordered replay anchors plus nine repairs, zero merges, all 42 feature IDs and all 73 stable-patch equivalents.
• Every recorded source/candidate patch hash and stable patch ID matches. Regenerated range-diff matches 51cc6f7c07a73b01ccb647129273454c64d14c54b276ef8338cd957887e93f9b.
• All 364 original overlap rows remain adjudicated against 91 rationales, with matching native patch digests. Current public evidence bodies match retained files.
• All 846 manifest entries match manifest 40b23c6b40323128a8bd5deba19fd9e217e52fef5751462c8ca5907b0dfd01c8.
• All 24 acceptance records bind to the clean exact candidate, matching logs and independently recomputed inputs f1243718a26281dad8a32260a3695ecabe5eb8aa31aebb88ea213edfe8cda299. Logs support 2,237 focused passes, twelve typechecks and the scoped static/Fork Stack checks.
• Live exact-head CI has 24 successful checks and three policy skips. Inspected CI logs include the current lifetime, receipt and control-read regressions.

Scope limits remain explicit. This was cumulative preservation review with manual tracing concentrated on integration risks, not uniform line-by-line inspection of every retained file. Snapshot evidence supports isolated migration, decoding, preservation and reconstructed-layer convergence; positive real V1 feature conversion, shared co-owners, task origins, bare tasks and webhook tasks remain outside real-source coverage. Startup fixtures hold import, worker and bootstrap callbacks as no-ops. Running-server restart, installed-artifact compatibility and fleet health remain parent-owned and unverified here; the older-Node raw-buffer fixture failure does not establish universal artifact failure.

Verdict: approve the reviewed code/proof scope for exact candidate 1d6372d230c8d144205ca7432f62233c2265e943. No supported required fix or optional finding remains. This verdict does not authorize merging the draft proof PR or establish deployment readiness.

Every prior objection is cleared against the current candidate:

• Lost upgrade/restart notice: persisted recovery reaches completed-child questions. Native accepted delivery precedes legacy cancellation, with stable message identity and repeated-reconstruction coverage.
• Persisted rejection lockout: reconciliation advances only past rejected receipts and replays accepted commands. The regression creates an actual dispatcher rejection, restores the provider and proves one actionable notice.
• Startup sweep ordering: result finalization precedes the explicit sweep, preserving completed/failed questions and pending continuations.
• Early listener bypass: the construction-time fork listener and native reactor now reach the same parent-serialized lifetime operation before delivery. The retained regression consumes actual approval-expiry events before delegated recovery and checks that no obsolete question message, run or start effect exists.
• Crash after result transfer: admission reconciles lifetime independently of the missing-result candidate list. Cancelled/interrupted fixtures reconstruct after an actual committed transfer with dismissal interrupted and an empty recovery-candidate list; cleanup converges without another transfer or question wake.

The shared operation retains native whole-child progress, backwards run-chain ownership and continuation barriers, then rereads request state. Parent-to-child lock ordering remains consistent with follow-up intake; the callback avoids reacquiring its held parent lock. The valid same-child follow-up remains actionable despite its old terminal task row. The live-wait fixture correction preserves its original assertions while introducing the independently actionable asynchronous question afterward.

Cumulative review covered all 98 source mappings, the complete range-diff, 364 overlap rows, 91 rationales, nine repairs and relevant surrounding consumers. Manual tracing concentrated on workspace leases and ContextMD reservations, steering versus urgent restart, question/approval/ancestor delivery, follow-ups, HTML outline/cache/expiry and Issue routing, rejected-link adoption and credential recovery, plus retained feature and persistence hooks. This is not a claim of uniform line-by-line inspection of every file.

Independent verification confirms:

• 108 native upstream commits, 98 ordered replay anchors plus nine repairs, zero merges and all 42 feature IDs.
• Every mapped patch digest and stable patch ID, including all 73 equivalents. Regenerated range-diff matches 51cc6f7c07a73b01ccb647129273454c64d14c54b276ef8338cd957887e93f9b.
• All 846 manifest entries and 24 clean exact-head acceptance records match their hashes. Recomputed tracked inputs match f1243718a26281dad8a32260a3695ecabe5eb8aa31aebb88ea213edfe8cda299. Logs support 2,237 focused passes, twelve typechecks and recorded static/Fork Stack checks.
• Current CI has 24 successful checks and three policy skips, including both fingerprint checks. Hosted logs contain the regression files; the CI merge checkout’s tree equals the candidate tree.
• The frozen V2 input independently hashes to the recorded digest. Inspected harnesses/logs support isolated migration, reader/decoder preservation and repeated-layer convergence.

Proof limits remain: startup fixtures hold import/bootstrap/effect-worker callbacks as no-ops. No running-server restart, installed-artifact compatibility or fleet health is established. Positive real V1 conversion, shared co-owners, task origins, bare tasks and webhook tasks remain outside real-source coverage. The older-Node raw-buffer fixture failure does not establish universal artifact failure.

• Prices: list-price estimate from T3 local rate table (path withheld) as of 2026-10-15, schedule 510e95c496c5a37477f1162a29e2610f559162283b7ab6e6f683ed19d9f05b25. Unknown prices stay unknown, never zero.
  • T3 LiteLLM rate table when present; bundled schedule covers the rest.
  • Model price sources: T3 local rate table (path withheld).
• Harness-reported cost: none reported.
• Usage totals are not billing. Subscription spending is separate and is never posted as spend.
• Crashed runs are counted separately: 0.

Token counters by model (native counter semantics; never added across semantics):

• gpt-6.1-sol (codex, high), codex counters: input includes cached, output includes reasoning: input 44,624,119; cache-read 43,083,648; cache-write 0; output 118,140; reasoning 40,117; harness total 44,742,259.

Other output and reasoning are priced without double counting inclusive native output. Missing rates remain unknown.

_{Local measurement from native records; usage totals are not billing. Updated in place by agent-observer publish.}

What: Partial cost report after mobile delivery: complete outcome cost is unknown; only the independently bounded historical subsets below are usable.
Why: Current Observer output mixes unrelated Observer#58 review usage into PR371, Rocky leaves native delivery usage unplaced, and Cavallo is offline for the final sync.
So what: The earlier supported report is retained at its stated cutoff, this clarification is refreshed in place, and Observer#58 owns the measurement blocker. No ownership, rate or Observer code was changed.

The new supported publish --dry-run --json was inspected and withheld: its $17.65/452-response headline includes a whole-shared Grok#58 review and Astra#58 design responses and says complete despite unresolved usage. It is not accepted as this PR's cost. Its15.9h interval is not task-only elapsed. This does not invalidate the earlier443-response bounded subset.

These are separate cutoffs/scopes, not a summed final outcome bill. Cache-write0 in these subsets; cache/reasoning subsets are never added to inclusive native counters. Native monetary cost and actual subscription spend remain unknown, not zero. API equivalents use sourced exact-model rates, not subscription invoices.

Coverage exclusions: historical desktop report excludes549unplaced responses. Current bestia export has1106unplaced,40elsewhere and1whole-shared response; its451priced/452context responses include unrelated work and are not valid PR coverage. Grok4.7 has no sourced exact-model rate in that context and stays unknown. Latest Rocky supported sync/task-show has154/154priced recorded local responses, all unplaced and excluded from PR spend; source/missing-session checks report no missing sessions/usage, but placement is unresolved. These local scopes are not added or assigned manually. Cavallo final sync failed while offline; its earlier successful sync/unknown-task result is historical, not fresh cross-machine coverage. Full mobile/build/upload/recovery agent cost remains unknown.
