- deadline: _result()/_abandon() replace 7 BoundedResult constructions and 2
cancel+callback sites; timers handled as a list; dead raise_if_timed_out removed.
- file_safety: retired classify_cross_profile_target (0 refs; get_cross_profile_warning
stub kept for external callers), _home_and_resolved/_mirror_warning shared by
the sandbox/container mirror guards; _find_sandbox_mirror_segments inlined.
- estop: _hermes_home/_canonical_root now the file_safety helpers;
_reset_log_state_for_tests inlined into its only test.
- subagent_lifecycle: _validate_request driven by _UNSUPPORTED_REQUEST_FIELDS table.
- turn_liveness: dead start()/_abort_message removed, _emit_warning shared.
- process_bootstrap: _enable_happy_eyeballs reused by the client variant.
- Comment/docstring compaction across the remaining leaf modules.
The background memory/skill review thread wrapped its whole body in
process-global contextlib.redirect_stdout/stderr(devnull). Those rebind
sys.stdout/sys.stderr for the ENTIRE process, so for the full duration of
the review (tens of seconds) every other thread — including a gateway
event-loop thread driving a Telegram long-poll — also wrote to devnull.
Any bare print/sys.stderr.write from those threads during the window was
silently lost (#55769 / #55925).
Replace the global redirect with thread_scoped_silence(): a per-thread
routing proxy installed once as sys.stdout/sys.stderr that sends only the
registered (bg-review) thread's writes to devnull and passes every other
thread through to the real stream. Depth-counted so nested use composes.
Verified: a concurrent thread writing while the bg-review thread is inside
the silence window keeps its output on the real stream.
