948c9dbfc0 fix(files): scope backslash compensation to local Windows
The shared quoting helper doubled regex backslashes for remote shells
because the controller ran Windows. Apply compensation only when the
backend executes locally; serialized POSIX command text stays literal.
Path translation and file-write payloads remain unchanged.

Verified with the real LocalEnvironment argv path and JSON command text
delivered to a real Bash stdin. Tests compare received bytes for quotes,
metacharacters, newlines, empty values and backslash runs. The serialized
case fails before the fix while the local case already passes.

Integrated: 114 tests passed, 6 host skips. Ruff and whitespace checks pass.
No Docker/SSH service or POSIX host run is claimed. The rejected grep
multiline rewrite is not included.

f2a19b0e06 refactor: remove unused extraction copies
Use the existing session-export, transcription and DingTalk owners.
Remove unused setup/watchdog helpers and the no-op package migration
hook. No package overrides it; user-state migrations keep their own
existing owners. Keep version-change installation coverage and the
scheduled external plugin compatibility blocks.

Verified with the real adapter, transcription, session-snapshot and
PM core suites. No live messaging service or user-state operation.

fd605dcacf fix(wake): use one engine family and honor selected capture
Move the pyopen adapter to the shared engine module and remove
shadowing definitions. Request audio-io only for local capture.
Pass the caller's resolved capture mode into engine construction,

e4cc7f09d9 merge: integrate upstream catalog with PM publication
Keep upstream's reviewed catalog as the only plugin name index.
Catalog pins and custom update sources share staged PM validation.
Publish code and dependencies with recovery after process death.
Reject a concurrent enablement change before publishing disabled code.

Use the manifest loader's supported version in the installer. Keep
probe cooldowns for timeouts, not TLS failures that a CA change fixes.
Preserve the backup, uninstall, browser and memory-provider repairs.

Verified with the canonical runner on native Windows ARM64, real Git
repositories, local TLS endpoints and UV dependency generations.
Desktop catalog tests and both TypeScript checks pass. The full suite

1c8fae6180 fix(pm): preserve runtime and user state across failure paths
Keep downloads bound to their remote representation and publish through
atomic destination-local staging. Serialize shared partial ownership.

Keep explicit CA trust scoped to provider probes. Preserve checkpoint
history and edited files, validate all profile inputs before dependency
publication, and separate data removal from installed runtime ownership.

Exclude machine-specific PM state from portable transfers. Keep plugin
files and nested skill tools intact. Preserve native test isolation.

Focused native Windows receipts cover the individual repairs and their
integration. This commit does not claim a full-suite or release build.

85e423482a fix(tools): kill the browser_exec CLI tree on timeout on Windows too
The salvaged fix only ran the CLI in its own session on POSIX and kept
plain subprocess.run on Windows — the one platform where the wedge in
#106244 is actually reproducible: CPython's run() retries an unbounded
communicate() after kill() there, so a grandchild holding the capture
pipes blocks the worker forever. On POSIX run() wait()s the PID and
returns promptly; the grandchild merely leaks (live-reproduced on Linux).

One code path for both platforms:
- _group_popen_kwargs: start_new_session=True on POSIX,
  CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP + hide flags on Windows (replaces the
  hide-only _windows_popen_kwargs).
- _kill_cli_process_group: os.killpg SIGKILL on POSIX, taskkill /T /F
  on Windows (same kwarg set as the sibling taskkill sites).
- The Popen decodes with encoding="utf-8", errors="replace" like every
  other subprocess call in this file (windows footgun rule).
- Drain test patches the kill helper instead of os.killpg so it runs on
  every host.

Windows behaviour is not live-verifiable on this Linux host.

7416201baf fix(tools): exempt POSIX-only killpg from the Windows footgun scan
The group kill lives behind browser_exec's os.name != "nt" branch, so
os.killpg/SIGKILL are never reached on Windows; mark the line per the
scan's suppression convention.

60debff28d fix(tools): kill the whole browser-use CLI process group on browser_exec timeout
subprocess.run only kills the direct CLI child on TimeoutExpired; a
browser_harness daemon / Chrome helper grandchild inherits the stdout/
stderr pipes and keeps them open, so the internal communicate() blocks
on pipe EOF forever. The wedged tool call never returns, its activity
heartbeat keeps stamping last_activity_at every 30s, and the session is
pinned at "now" in the desktop sidebar indefinitely (#106244).

On POSIX, run the CLI in its own session (start_new_session=True) and
SIGKILL the whole process group on timeout, then drain the pipes under
a bounded deadline. Windows keeps subprocess.run.

3dc3809d07 refactor(fal): render the managed billing message once in fal_common
Image and video callers were each formatting the same four-field dict into
the same sentence. Return the rendered tail from _managed_fal_billing_error

acf9177c70 test(fal): trim the billing-409 salvage to two invariant tests
Keep the two tests that fail on main without the fix:
- test_fal_common: a keyed managed submit makes exactly one POST (plus the
  negative arm: an unkeyed submit still goes through the SDK retry ladder)
- test_image_generation: the 409 BILLING_ERROR body surfaces
  `unsupported_pricing_meter` instead of the generic "not yet enabled" text

Dropped from #106484: the duplicate video-plugin billing test (same helper,
same assertion), the `_fal_client = fake` / `import_fal_client` stub churn
and the `tools.lazy_deps` stub — fal-client is installed in CI (`--extra fal`)
so those fixtures were not needed; the `_load_fal_client` no-op fixture on
TestManagedGatewayErrorTranslation for the same reason.

Also drop the redundant `retry_request is None` re-check in
`_ManagedFalSyncClient.submit` — `__init__` already raises when the helper
is missing.

cff103a8b7 fix(mcp): classify an SDK-first transport close after dispatch as an ambiguous stdio death
The child watcher polls every 250 ms, so in practice the MCP SDK sees the
closed pipe first and `call_tool` raises ClosedResourceError / "Connection
closed" before the watcher fires. That exception is not a _StdioChildExited,
so it fell past the stdio recoverer into _handle_session_expired_and_retry,
which reconnects and replays the call -- the exact duplicated-side-effect
path the previous two commits close. Live repro against a real stdio child
that applies an effect then exits without replying: 2 effects with the
contributor's commits alone, 1 effect + outcome_uncertain after this.

On a stdio server, a session-expired-class error raised by an RPC that was
already dispatched is re-raised as _StdioChildExited(in_flight=True) so the
stdio recoverer owns it. HTTP servers are untouched: their session-expired
retry is still the right recovery.

Tests trimmed to the salvage bar: the contributor's
test_precall_respawn_retry_dying_midcall_is_uncertain_without_replay
(a variant of the watcher-race case) is replaced by the SDK-first regression
the review on #106440 asked for; the existing pre-call retry test still pins
that a never-sent call is retried once.

dffc0fa2d5 fix(gateway): require wake-capable session provenance for background delegate_task (#98619)
Rebuilt against the post-refactor owners: the chat-completions route now
lives in gateway/platforms/api_server_openai_routes.py, the wake gate in
tools/delegate_tool_dispatch.py, and session_context.py was reshaped —
the original patch aimed at code main no longer has.

Header-less OpenAI-compatible clients get a fingerprint-derived session
id bound as the api_server chat_id. delegate_task's background gate
treated ANY bound session id as wake-capable and dispatched detached
subagents, but for derived ids the wake self-post lands in a session
whose history the client never reloads — the result is undeliverable by
construction.

Bind a wake_capable provenance flag at session-bind time, DEFAULT-DENY
at the central boundary (set_session_vars and _bind_api_server_session
both treat an omitted declaration as denied; a binder that says nothing
grants no wake authority): "1" only from audited producers whose client
can address the id again (explicit X-Hermes-Session-Id — 403-gated on
API_SERVER_KEY — native /api/sessions/{id} routes, /v1/runs); "" for
fingerprint-derived ids. The delegate gate requires the flag (fail-closed,
captured pre-child-construction alongside origin_wake_sid) and keeps the
forced-sync fallback with its honest note.

e2763baf1c refactor(kanban): route the reviewer guard through _check and tighten its tests
Use the module's `_check`/`_Reject` idiom instead of an inline
`return tool_error(...)` so every kanban_request_review validation
failure renders through the same path, and drop the unreachable
`or "none"` (list_profile_names() always contains "default").

Tests: compare the task's (status, assignee, run) tuple and the event
log before/after instead of the unordered 6-assert block, use the
context-managed kanban_db_connect.connect (the kb.connect alias is a
plugin-compat pointer — scripts/check_compat_pointers.py flagged it),
and reference #106163 in the invariant's docstring.

Salvage note vs #106214 (@gaoanze888): that PR guards the same condition
inside hermes_cli/kanban_db.py::request_review, but the DB primitive is
also the chokepoint for `hermes kanban request-review` and the
dashboard's drag-to-review, both operator surfaces where a non-profile
assignee (external/human review lane) is a documented board shape
(website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban-worker-lanes.md) — and it forced
five unrelated test fixtures to monkeypatch profile_exists to True. The
model-facing tool wrapper is the layer where a typo'd string is a bug,
so the guard lives there.

1d89286b36 fix(kanban): reject phantom worker reviewers
kanban_request_review(reviewer=<name>) reassigned the task to whatever
string the model supplied. A non-profile value (e.g. the literal
"reviewer") parked the card in `review` on an assignee the dispatcher
can never spawn, with no error to the worker — the chain stalled
silently (#106163). Validate the explicit reviewer against installed
profiles before touching the board and return a tool error listing the
installed profiles so the model can self-correct.

Salvage of #97429: the kanban_diagnostics `review_reopened` hunk and its
tests were dropped (main already replaced that loop with
`_latest_event_ts`; the tests targeted the PR's pre-refactor base).
Re-authored from the placeholder identity `regen <regen@local>` to the
PR author's GitHub noreply address (misconfigured local git, not malice).

4ddbcbd35e fix(mcp): a profile only adopts a shared connection whose credentials match its own config
_same_server_route compared config_fingerprint alone, which by design excludes
env/headers/auth (so the schema cache survives a token rotation). Profile B with the
same URL but different headers/env therefore adopted profile A's live connection and
called tools as A. _connection_identity = route fingerprint + env + headers + auth mode,
used by both the adopt and the stale-removal checks.

Also collapses the three writers of _server_tool_scopes to two: the adoption loop
re-implemented in mcp_tool_discovery._select_new_servers is dropped —
register_connected_into_current_scope (which runs first in register_mcp_servers) is
the single adopter, and _register_candidates records scope for freshly registered tools.

e333113871 fix(review): keep /refine under the background_review origin; attendedness is its own flag
The salvaged commit forked an explicit /refine under a new "refine_review" origin so
the memory delete gate would not treat it as unattended. But is_background_review()
is the key for every other review guard — skill_manager_guards (curator-owned-only,
read-before-write), skill_manager_tool (archive instead of rmtree), skill_ledger
actor, write_approval staging, the [auto] tag — so a /refine fork silently escaped
all of them.

Carry attendedness separately: the fork keeps origin "background_review" and sets
_review_attended; turn_context binds it beside the origin ContextVar; the memory
gate keys on the new is_unattended_review(). Also run the gate AFTER
_validate_single_op / the operations list check, as memory_tool's own docstring
requires, so an invalid replace is rejected now rather than staged and failed at
approve time.

c0714575c3 fix(review): distinguish explicit /refine from unattended reviews and surface staged consolidations
Review follow-up on #105944 (#105921):

- explicit /refine forks now run under the refine_review write origin
  (explicit flows from the CLI/gateway handlers through
  _spawn_background_review_now and spawn_background_review_thread down
  to build_cache_parity_fork), so a user-requested review keeps the
  full memory operation set; only automatic reviews stay behind the
  unattended delete gate.
- the unattended delete gate now stages the denied replace/remove (or
  whole batch) into the pending store instead of dropping it: the
  fork's own review summary is never published, so a plain denial lost
  the consolidation request with no surfacing path. The staged proposal
  carries a proposal_staged marker that summarize surfaces as an action
  line, and a staging failure still fails closed to a plain denial.
- regression tests: explicit-path origin pass-through, refine_review
  keeping replace working, near-limit denial end to end (add rejected
  by budget -> replace staged -> proposal surfaces, store unchanged).

1571f502a9 fix(agent): scope background review memory access to its trigger (#105921)
The review fork's tool whitelist granted the whole memory toolset
whenever the profile had memory enabled, regardless of which nudge
fired, so a skill-nudge fork held remove/replace on MEMORY.md it was
never asked to use; combined with the memory tool's near-limit
'consolidate now' hint, an unattended fork deleted standing rules with
no user in the loop.

- Pass review_memory from spawn_background_review_thread through
  _run_review_in_thread/_run_review_fork into _review_tool_whitelist;
  a skill-only review no longer gets the memory tool at all.
- Fail-closed operation gate in memory_tool: a background-review fork
  may add, never replace/remove (single or in a batch) — consolidation
  decisions reach a human via the review summary instead.
- Keep the deny/prompt wording in sync with the whitelist so a
  memory-less review doesn't advertise memory.

ac10770894 fix(cron): don't stamp the next occurrence on an off-tick manual run
claim_job_for_fire() derives the occurrence identity from next_run_at
before the same function advances it. On a scheduler tick next_run_at is
the occurrence being run, which is correct; on an off-tick manual run it
is the NEXT occurrence, so the execution is stamped with the identity of
a slot that has not happened yet. _job_is_due() then finds a completed
execution carrying that identity and skips the real slot, returning
before the last_dispatch write — no error, no log line, no dispatch
record.

The manual flag already guards this and both _job_is_due() and
claim_job_for_fire() honour it; the agent-facing run-now path never
declared itself. Add a keyword-only manual= parameter and pass it from
_claim_for_manual_run(). Deliberately not force=True: force also calls
_activate_job_record(), which would resume a paused or disabled job, and
the run-now tool depends on continuing to refuse those.

The local flag is renamed to manual_fire so the new parameter is not
shadowed inside the apply closure, which would raise UnboundLocalError.

Three existing tests in tests/tools/ pinned the old call signature via
assert_called_once_with; they now pin manual=True, so dropping the flag
again fails loudly rather than silently reintroducing the skip.

Restores the intent stated in #104790 — the column records the scheduled
instant an execution was claimed for, and an off-tick manual run was
claimed for none.

Fixes #105690

defdf64790 simplify(agent): surface switch — reuse flatten_message_text / agent_tool_names / one runtime-boundary split
- _transcript_row_texts re-implemented agent.message_content.flatten_message_text
  and the api_content sidecar rule; the note can only land on a user row,
  so the transcript scan now skips assistant/tool rows (the bulk of the bytes).
- Three sites computed "names of agent.tools"; tools.mcp_tool_agent gains
  agent_tool_names() used by the switch note and conversation_loop, which
  also stops importing the private _def_name across modules. The name list
  is only captured when a switch was announced.
- split_runtime_boundary() is the single owner of the runtime-block
  rpartition/END check for both identity_line_value and
  _stored_prompt_matches_runtime.
- platform_surface_hint was a public alias of _platform_hint; the function is
  now platform_hint (its docstring pointed at the pre-move module).
- consume_gateway_turn_context_notes and consume_surface_switch_note share
  _pop_turn_note so the two one-shot channels have identical semantics.
- platform check hoisted above the transcript scan.

8b7eae99ef fix(pm): own interpreter selection and dependency recovery
Pin uv and uvx to the PM interpreter instead of ambient Python discovery.
A matching dependency stamp cannot prove that installed files still exist.
Repair now rebuilds the recorded workspace and lock in a fresh generation,

9d865810b6 fix(mcp-oauth): keep refresh_token when a refresh response omits it (#62333)
HermesProviderMixin._handle_refresh_response overrides the SDK's handler (to
accept any 2xx and keep token bodies out of logs) but dropped the SDK's RFC 6749
section 6 carry-forward. An authorization server that does not rotate refresh
tokens (TinyFish, Google, Zoho, Asana, Futu) answers the refresh grant without a
refresh_token; we then stored the response verbatim, erasing the only refresh
token we had, so the next expiry had nothing to refresh with and forced a
browser re-auth roughly one TTL after every login.

Carry the prior refresh_token (and scope, per section 5.1) forward on the
OAuthToken before _store_tokens, so both the live provider and the on-disk
token file keep it. A rotating AS still wins: only None fields are filled.

Tests: two invariants on the real HermesMCPOAuthProvider + HermesTokenStorage
(omitted -> preserved in memory and on disk; provided -> rotated). The
carry-forward test is red on main.

866332bfb5 fix(relay): authorize send_message targets and surface egress declines (P5) (#99220)
* fix(relay): authorize send_message targets and surface egress declines

P5 of the relay egress-authorization workstream. The relay path
authenticated the SENDER but never authorized the DESTINATION, and the
gateway compounded it from both ends.

(a) send_message could silently name an arbitrary relay target. Its
`target` parameter is free-form ('platform:chat_id'), so a model could
name ANY chat id and the gateway would emit an outbound frame for it.
gateway/relay/egress.py adds an attestation floor: a relay-routed
destination must have a provenance this gateway can show -- the
operator's home channel, the channel directory, or its own gateway
session origins. Anything else is refused HERE, with a visible tool
error naming the target, before a frame is written. Non-relay platforms
and platforms served by a live native adapter in this process are
untouched (same precedence resolve_delivery_transport applies).

(b) Connector declines were swallowed into apparent successes. The
connector's egress floor answers an unauthorized destination with a
DEFINITE failure whose text is deliberately uniform (F-005). Several
relay lanes degrade a *transport drop* by design and were degrading an
*authorization refusal* the same way:

  - _send_media returned None, sending the caller into
    BasePlatformAdapter's text fallback -- a DIFFERENT op re-addressed at
    the very chat the connector had just refused.
  - _send_prompt returned None, so exec-approval / slash-confirm /
    clarify reported "relay prompt op unavailable" (a wrong reason) and
    ran their numbered-text fallbacks into the refused chat.
  - task_card_stop discarded the error entirely.
  - typing / delete / react / thread ops degraded silently at debug.

is_egress_decline() classifies THAT a decline happened (never why --
the uniform text is not parsed for reasons) and requires a definite,
non-ambiguous failure, so a lost-ack retry is still a transport
outcome. Lanes with an error-carrying contract now report the decline
verbatim; cosmetic bool/None lanes still degrade but log it at WARNING.

Advisory progress drops that legitimately degrade are unchanged: the
task_card send lane, the draft ambiguous/except branches, and every
transport-exception path keep their existing fail-open behaviour.

Tests: 21 mutations of the production source, all KILLED.

* fix(relay): authorize the RESOLVED target; declines must not fall back

Review round 1 (independently confirmed by a second reviewer) found three
blockers. Two are fixed here; the third (B-2, Telegram @username) is a policy
decision left open deliberately.

B-1 — THE FIX CAUSED THE OUTAGE IT PREVENTED (tools/send_message_tool.py)

The P5(a) guard ran ABOVE Slack user->DM resolution, so it authorized the
internal pseudo-id `_parse_target_ref` emits (`user_name:ben`, `user:U...`).
Provenances only ever hold RESOLVED conversation ids, so a fully attested DM
was compared as a handle against a set of `D...` ids and refused:

  base  slack:@ben  SENT        head(before)  slack:@ben  REFUSED

Every Slack DM by handle was broken. Moved the guard below resolution; it now
authorizes the destination that is actually sent to, and the refusal names the
resolved id. Position is load-bearing, so it is commented as such and pinned:
reverting the move turns exactly the four new cases red.

B-3 — A DECLINE IS NOT A LANE FAILURE (gateway/run.py)

`_approval_send_outcome` had only sent/failed/ambiguous, so a connector
decline collapsed into `failed` — which is the cue to run the plain-text
fallback into the chat the connector had just refused. The adapter fix in the
previous commit improved the error STRING while user-visible behaviour stayed
identical to base; the commit message overstated it. Fixed properly:

  - new `declined` verdict, recognised via the shared `is_egress_decline`
    contract (not string sniffing at the call site)
  - exec-approval returns without the text fallback
  - slash-confirm suppresses the text reply AND clears the registration, so a
    card that never rendered cannot capture the user's next message

`send_clarify` was already correct (returns early inside the adapter).

MUTATIONS (production source; both directions)
  classifier never returns 'declined'        -> KILLED (4 cases)
  ALL failures classified as 'declined'      -> KILLED (2 cases)
  guard moved back above Slack resolution    -> KILLED (4 cases)
  decline CODE changed (review M05)          -> KILLED
  marker match made case-sensitive (M10)     -> KILLED

M05 was a tautology: the test asserted the imported constant against itself,
so changing the constant could not fail it. The wire contract is now pinned as
a literal, because the connector stamps that exact string and a one-sided
change is a silent cross-repo break.

REGRESSION CHECK: the 12 failures + 1 collection error in this test selection
are PRE-EXISTING cross-test contamination — the identical set fails at
7cf86188ac. Verified by diffing the failing sets: no new failures, 363 -> 374
passed.

NOT FIXED (deliberate): B-2, Telegram `@username`. The Bot API resolves handles
at send time, so there is no id to compare and no canonicalization exists yet.
That is a policy decision, not a code move.

* fix(relay): fail CLOSED on guard faults; classify the structured decline

Third independent review. Two more blockers, both reproduced before fixing.

1. THE GUARD ITSELF FAILED OPEN (tools/send_message_tool.py:158)

`_authorize_relay_target` wrapped BOTH the import and the call in one
`except Exception: return None` — and None means AUTHORIZED at every call site.
So any runtime bug inside the guard silently switched the entire P5(a) boundary
off. Reproduced: with the guard raising, an unattested target sent.

The docstring already stated the correct intent ("must not fail closed on its
own IMPORT error") and the code did something broader. The two failures are not
the same: a missing gateway package means there is no relay egress to
authorize; a fault inside the guard means authorization did not happen. The
import is tolerated, the call is not — a guard that cannot answer refuses.

2. THE STRUCTURED DECLINE WAS THROWN AWAY (gateway/run.py)

The adapter preserves the connector's dict in `SendResult.raw_response`. My
previous commit rebuilt a dict from the error STRING, which loses two
contracts:

  * a decline carrying `code: egress_declined` and NO text renders as
    "relay egress declined" — no marker colon — so it classified as `failed`,
    which is exactly the cue to run the fallback into the refused chat;
  * `ambiguous: True` (lost ack) was flattened into a DEFINITE failure,
    re-sending a card that may already be on the user's screen. That is the
    duplicate-card bug the ambiguous verdict exists to prevent, reintroduced
    by the fix meant to harden the same path.

Both call sites now classify `raw_response` when present, ambiguity first, and
fall back to the wire sentence only for connectors that send no structured
response.

I had fixed the text-marker path and tested only the text-marker path. Worth
naming: the review's probe was a shape my tests never produced.

MUTATIONS (production source)
  guard fault returns None (fail open again)   -> KILLED
  classifier ignores raw_response              -> KILLED (3 cases)
  ambiguous treated as a definite failure      -> KILLED (2 cases)

40 focused tests pass. Regression check vs be321faf27: identical 13-item
failing set (pre-existing cross-test contamination), no new failures.

STILL OPEN: B-2 / finding 3, Telegram `@username`. The reviewer is right that
this is a REGRESSION of an existing contract (#53573 added Bot API username
support), not merely an unspecified input, since relay provenance stores the
numeric chat id. Fixing it means resolving the handle before authorization, or
explicitly revoking the contract. That is a policy decision, not a code move,
and it is Ben's call.

* test(relay): pin M21 and M25, the survivors whose comments called them load-bearing

Round-2 review reported six unpinned survivors from round 1. Two guard real
behaviour and are now covered; the other four are cosmetic-lane warnings and
fail-open branches I am leaving documented rather than pretending to close.

M25 — thread-qualified session ids. `_session_ids` adds BOTH "chat:thread" and
the bare chat, because the connector authorizes the CHAT. Without the split a
gateway whose session origin is `-100999:77` cannot send to `-100999`, the chat
it is demonstrably already talking in. KILLED.

M21 — the generic `relay` plane must union every fronted platform, since a
relay session is filed under its LOGICAL platform. KILLED.

MY FIRST M21 TEST WAS THE DEFECT IT WAS TESTING FOR. I patched `_relay_fronted`
— the very function the mutation empties — so emptying it changed nothing the
test could see, and the mutation SURVIVED against a green test. Rewritten to
drive the real `relay_fronted_platforms()` through its env source
(`GATEWAY_RELAY_PLATFORMS`), which is how production learns it.

That is the same "the test verifies my stand-in" failure I have spent this
workstream removing from the connector harnesses, reproduced here in three
lines of Python. The tell was identical: a mutation that survives a test
written specifically to kill it.

334 tests pass.

NOT PINNED, deliberately: M03 (success-guard on a malformed dict), M24
(empty-target allowance — the one fail-open branch, reachable only when the
bare-platform path already resolved a home channel), M35/M36 (decline WARNINGs
on cosmetic lanes). All four are observability or defence-in-depth rather than
authorization, and the review agrees they are non-blocking.

* fix(relay): defer Telegram @username authorization to the connector (B-2)

Closes the last blocker. Two reviewers independently called this a REGRESSION
of the public-channel username support added in #53573, not an unspecified
input, and they were right: provenance stores RESOLVED numeric chat ids, so
comparing `@channel` against them could only ever refuse.

WHY THE GATEWAY CANNOT ANSWER IT. The guard fires only when there is no live
native adapter — i.e. relay-fronted deployments — and on exactly those the
CONNECTOR holds the bot token, not this process. There is no local way to turn
a handle into the numeric id. Refusing here is not "fail closed", it is "fail
always".

WHY DEFERRING IS SAFE. The destination is still authorized one layer out: the
connector's Telegram egress floor (gg#238, merged 743a7c2) classifies and
refuses unauthorized destinations after ITS resolution — the layer that closed
the reported vulnerability in the first place. Handles go from two guards to
one, the authoritative one, not to zero.

The carve-out is deliberately narrow and its EDGES are pinned, because the
failure mode of an exemption is silent widening:

  telegram `@handle`        -> deferred            (the regression case)
  telegram numeric id       -> still guarded
  matrix `@user:server`     -> still guarded       (telegram-only)
  bare name, no `@`         -> still guarded
  attested handle           -> normal path, attestation still consulted

MUTATIONS
  carve-out widened to all platforms   -> KILLED
  carve-out widened to every target    -> KILLED
  carve-out removed (regression back)  -> KILLED
  carve-out checked BEFORE attestation -> KILLED

THE ORDERING MUTANT SURVIVED MY FIRST TEST. Both orderings return None, so
asserting the verdict could not tell them apart — the test asserted the claim
instead of the mechanism. Rewritten to observe that attestation is actually
consulted. Same defect class as the M21 test earlier in this branch: a
mutation surviving a test written specifically to kill it means the test is
measuring the wrong thing.

341 tests pass.

FOLLOW-UP (option 2, Ben's call, deliberately NOT done here): resolve the
handle before authorizing so BOTH layers apply. That needs a resolution
round-trip through the connector — new wire surface — so it belongs in its own
phase rather than bolted onto this one. Recorded in the code comment at the
carve-out, not just here.

* fix(relay): close two fail-open boundaries; test the code-only decline for real

Both blockers from review, each REPRODUCED before fixing.

1. STRUCTURED DECLINE HAD NO GUARD. Deleting `raw_response=result` from both
   `_send_prompt` return branches left all 34 tests green — a surviving,
   non-equivalent security mutant. The `code` field is the documented
   PREFERRED signal precisely because a connector may send no prose, and a
   caller rebuilding `{"success": False, "error": ...}` cannot see it.

   Cause: every existing case declines with marker TEXT. The evidence for the
   code-only path was a hand-built SimpleNamespace in a different file — a
   stand-in for the adapter, so it verified my fixture instead of production.

   Fixed with a CodeOnlyDecliningConnector driving the real
   `send_exec_approval` -> `_send_prompt`, feeding the REAL SendResult to the
   REAL `_approval_send_outcome`, plus the same shape on the media lane.
       drop raw_response  SURVIVED (34 passed) -> KILLED

2. TWO FAIL-OPEN BOUNDARIES, both "absence" and "fault" sharing a return.

   `_relay_fronted` swallowed EVERY exception and returned an empty set, which
   `relay_routed_platform` reads as "not relay-routed" — skipping the guard.
   Probe, with a positive control in the same run:
       positive_control_denied   = True
       discovery_fault_denied    = False   <- unattested target AUTHORIZED

   `_authorize_relay_target` caught every exception during IMPORT as "no
   gateway package". A module that exists and fails to initialize is a fault,
   not an absence, and returning None there means authorized.

   Now: ImportError alone is absence; anything else raises RelayRouteUnknown
   and `authorize_relay_target` converts it to a REFUSAL STRING (not a raised
   exception — every caller treats the return value as the verdict, so raising
   would trade a fail-open for a crash).

   Kept the converse under test so "fail closed" does not silently become
   "refuse everything in CLI/cron", which is the outage the broad except
   existed to prevent.
       discovery fault -> empty set        KILLED
       RelayRouteUnknown -> authorized     KILLED
       import fault -> authorized          KILLED

397 passed (was 392, +5 new cases), zero failures.

* fix(relay): close all seven review-round-3 blockers

Every finding reproduced before fixing; every fix mutation-checked after.

CONTENT LEAKS (the decline was laundered into a different op, same chat)

#1 A declined DRAFT SEAL replayed as a plain send. On stream-is-the-message
   platforms the turn-final becomes draft(final=True); `_seal_open_draft`
   dropped the structured body, so `_absorb_into_open_draft` read a REFUSAL as
   a lane failure and fell through. Probe, Slack descriptor:
       before: draft(partial) -> draft(final,SECRET) -> send(SECRET)
       after:  draft(partial) -> draft(final,SECRET)
   My first probe of this used a discord descriptor and showed no seal at all —
   the leak is real, my probe was wrong (streams only arm for Slack).

#6 Task-card PROGRESS had the same defect one lane over: a bare failed
   SendResult reads as "card lane unavailable", and TurnRunner then sends the
   task text to the same chat. Both card methods now carry raw_response and
   the caller suppresses the fallback on a decline.

AUTHORIZATION BYPASSES

#2 `except ImportError` was NOT the fix I claimed last round. ImportError also
   covers a broken dependency inside an INSTALLED gateway; review probed
   `ImportError.name = "gateway.relay.dependency"` and got an authorized
   verdict. Now only a name identifying the gateway relay module itself is
   absence. An ImportError with NO name stays absence — refusing on a fault we
   cannot attribute would trade an unidentifiable bug for a real CLI/cron
   outage, and an existing test caught exactly that when I first got it wrong.

#3 `relay_routed_platform` lowercases the requested platform; `_relay_fronted`
   returned configured names verbatim. A platform configured as "Discord"
   missed the membership test, looked native, and skipped the guard:
       'discord' => refused    'Discord' => ALLOWED    'DISCORD' => ALLOWED
   An attestation bypass on a string comparison.

UNDELIVERABLE PROMPTS THAT HUNG

#4 `_clarify_send_disposition` handled `failed` and `ambiguous` but not
   `declined`, so a REFUSED clarify card fell through to wait_for_response and
   blocked until clarify_timeout — indefinitely when configured non-positive.
   A decline is more definitive than a failure, not less.

#5 The exec-approval decline branch returned quietly, which suppressed the text
   fallback (right) but left the CENTRAL approval entry pending (wrong) — the
   dangerous command stayed blocked until the approval timeout. My comment
   claimed the registration was torn down; only RelayAdapter's private map was.
   It now raises `_ExecApprovalDeclined`, which propagates to
   `_await_gateway_decision`'s existing notify-failure path (drops the entry,
   unblocks the tool). A dedicated type, re-raised past the local
   `except Exception` that would otherwise have restored the leak.

#7 THE GAP THAT LET ALL OF THIS SHIP. Both caller-level suppressions were
   unfalsifiable: deleting either branch left 36/38 tests green. The suites
   drove `_approval_send_outcome` and `RelayAdapter` but never the real
   TurnRunner / busy-session callers, so nothing observed whether a text send
   FOLLOWED a decline — which is the whole property.
   tests/gateway/test_decline_fallback_suppression.py drives both real callers
   and records every send. Each decline case is paired with an ordinary-FAILURE
   control, because without one a caller that never falls back would also pass.

MUTATIONS (all on production source, anchors count-checked, restored after)

  #1  seal decline -> plain send                KILLED
  #1b seal drops raw_response                   KILLED
  #2  nested ImportError -> authorized          KILLED
  #3  fronted set not normalized                KILLED
  #4  clarify declined branch removed           KILLED
  #5  approval decline returns not raises       KILLED
  #6  task_card drops raw_response              KILLED
  #7  slash-confirm suppression removed         KILLED

#7's two were the reviewer's SURVIVORS (36/38 passing); both now die.

425 passed, zero failures.

* fix(relay): close the three round-4 blockers

Round 4 confirmed six of seven round-3 fixes and found three more. Each
reproduced before fixing, each mutation-checked after.

1. A NAMELESS ImportError still authorized. Last round I admitted it as
   "absence" to protect the CLI/cron path. That reasoning was WRONG and the
   interpreter says so:

       import gateway.relay.nope  -> ModuleNotFoundError, name="gateway.relay.nope"
       import totally_absent_pkg  -> ModuleNotFoundError, name="totally_absent_pkg"

   Genuine absence is ALWAYS ModuleNotFoundError with `.name` set, so the
   CLI/cron path never produces a bare ImportError and nothing legitimate was
   being protected. A plain or nameless ImportError comes from an import hook
   or a module that failed while initializing — an unattributable FAULT.
   Now: absence is ModuleNotFoundError naming gateway / gateway.relay /
   gateway.relay.egress; everything else refuses. Two existing tests raised a
   bare ImportError to simulate absence and were corrected to the real shape.

2. SESSION ATTESTATION INVENTED IDS. `_session_ids` split every id on the first
   colon to recover "chat" from "chat:thread". Matrix ids contain a colon
   natively, so `!room:server.org` attested a bare `!room` — the guard
   vouching for a destination on its own fabrication. The split now applies
   only to platforms whose ids genuinely carry a `:thread` suffix (allow-list;
   unknown platforms are treated as un-splittable, which can only refuse more).
   Kept a Slack control: dropping the split entirely would refuse legitimate
   thread replies, which is the outage the split exists to prevent.

3. THE TASK-CARD FIX WAS UNFALSIFIABLE — my own round-3 mistake, and the same
   one round 3 caught me making. I added the production branch AND a test, but
   the test stopped at RelayAdapter: it proved `raw_response` is carried and
   never called `TurnRunner._task_card_publish`, which owns the property.
   Deleting the real branch left 30 tests green. Now driven through the real
   caller, with an ordinary-failure control.

   The lesson generalises: proving the DATA reaches the boundary is not proving
   the CALLER acts on it. Every one of these decline fixes has two halves and
   the second half is where the security lives.

Also closed the round-4 non-blocking finding: `gateway/relay/egress.py` has its
OWN import boundary, and the existing test intercepted the earlier import in
tools/send_message_tool.py, so it was never exercised. Mutating that classifier
to treat every ImportError as absence now dies.

MUTATIONS (production source, anchors count-checked, restored after)

  R4-1 nameless ImportError -> authorized        KILLED
  R4-2 session split unconditional               KILLED
  R4-3 task-card caller branch removed           KILLED  (was SURVIVED)
  egress classifier: any ImportError = absence   KILLED

Also probed and found NOT a leak: a refused OPENING draft frame disarms the
stream and the turn-final goes out via `send`. That send is itself guarded and
the connector refuses it too, so no content is delivered — unlike the seal case
(round 3, #1) where the seal was the only check on that path.

452 passed, zero failures.

* fix(relay): recover the thread parent from thread_id, not a colon split

Round 4 blocker 2 was closed with an allow-list of platforms whose ids have no
native colon. Reviewing my own fix while round 5 ran, the allow-list is the
wrong mechanism: it NARROWS a guess instead of removing it, and it still gets
Matrix wrong the moment a Matrix session is thread-qualified
(`!room:server.org:$thr` -> split yields `!room`).

The structured field was there all along. `_session_entry_id` composes the id
as f"{chat_id}:{thread_id}" and the entry still carries `thread_id`
separately, so the parent is knowable EXACTLY: strip the known suffix, or add
nothing. No platform list, no guessing, correct for ids that contain colons.

Mutations:
  back to splitting on the first colon        KILLED
  thread parent never recovered (over-refuse) KILLED

Both directions matter: the first invents attestations, the second refuses
legitimate thread replies.

One existing test (M25) asserted the right PROPERTY with a fixture that omitted
`thread_id` — a shape real entries never have. Fixture corrected, assertions
untouched.

453 passed.

* fix(relay): close the four round-5 blockers

Each reproduced before fixing, each mutation-checked after.

R5-1 A DISABLED NATIVE ADAPTER BYPASSED AUTHORIZATION. `_has_live_native_adapter`
     treated any entry in the adapter map as native; `resolve_delivery_transport`
     ignores a native adapter whose config is disabled and routes over Relay.
     Two independent routing classifiers, disagreeing:
         guard says native: True   delivery routes relay: True
     So the guard skipped authorization for a send that went over the relay.
     The guard now applies the router's enabled-state rule; probed both
     configurations and they agree.

R5-2 THREAD IDS WERE NEVER AUTHORIZED. The parser splits chat_id and thread_id;
     only chat_id reached the guard. On Discord the thread IS the destination —
     `POST /channels/{thread_id}/messages` — so an attested parent channel
     authorized an arbitrary caller-supplied thread. `authorize_relay_target`
     now takes thread_id and requires its own attestation (bare id or the
     `chat:thread` form a session origin produces); both call sites forward it.

R5-3 A DECLINED **INITIAL** DRAFT WAS RETRIED AS A PLAIN SEND. Round 3 fixed the
     declined SEAL; the declined OPEN was a different path. `send_draft`
     returned a bare failure, so the stream consumer read "draft transport
     unusable", disabled drafts and fell through to `_first_send`. Measured
     through the real adapter and real StreamTransportMixin:
         before: ops ['draft', 'send']      after: ops ['draft']
     send_draft now carries raw_response; a decline is terminal for the run and
     the guard sits in `_first_send`, where every fallback path converges.

R5-4 MY ROUND-4 TASK-CARD FIX SUPPRESSED EXACTLY ONE UPDATE. It set
     `native_failed`, which the entry gate already uses for an ordinary broken
     lane, so the next progress event skipped the decline branch and went
     straight to the text fallback:
         after first publish: []      after second: ['send']
     Terminal declines are now a separate `egress_declined` state checked at the
     entry gate. A refusal does not expire after one tick.

MUTATIONS

  R5-1  disabled native counts as native        KILLED
  R5-2  thread_id not authorized                KILLED
  R5-2b tool does not forward thread_id         KILLED (was SURVIVED)
  R5-3  initial-draft decline not terminal      KILLED
  R5-3b _first_send guard removed               KILLED
  R5-4  declined state not persistent           KILLED

R5-2b is the same gap that produced findings 3 and 4 of the last two rounds, a
third time: every test called `authorize_relay_target` directly, so dropping the
argument from the TOOL WRAPPER changed nothing. Testing the callee never proves
the caller uses it — now pinned explicitly.

Each fix ships with an ordinary-failure control, because every one of these
makes the guard refuse MORE, and over-refusal is now the larger risk.

474 passed, zero failures.

* refactor(relay): declare the terminal-decline state where it lives

Both terminal-decline flags were set dynamically. They worked (neither class is
frozen or slotted) but an undeclared attribute hides the state from anyone
reading the class, and this one is security-relevant.

  _TaskCardState.egress_declined  — declared dataclass field
  StreamConsumer._egress_declined — initialised in __init__

Lifetime verified while checking whether a refusal can leak ACROSS turns and
mute a healthy destination: it cannot. _TaskCardState is constructed per
progress-drain (run_turn_runner.py:420) and the consumer's flags per run
(stream_consumer.py:163), so both are fresh each turn.

Also verified the guard's blast radius after adding thread authorization: the
ONLY callers of authorize_relay_target are the two model-facing send_message
call sites. Gateway-internal sends — notably the handoff path, which creates a
thread and immediately posts to it with no session provenance yet — go through
transport.adapter directly and are unaffected. That was the most plausible
over-refusal, and it does not reach this guard.

461 passed.

* fix(relay): close the four round-6 blockers — the edit lane

R6-1 MY OWN R5-1 FIX REINTRODUCED THE BYPASS IT CLOSED. I wrote
     `except Exception: return True` around the config lookup, so a config read
     fault declared the platform native while the ROUTER, reading the real
     config, sends over the relay:
         guard_has_live_native True   guard_verdict None   router relay
     Routing we cannot determine is UNKNOWN. It now raises RelayRouteUnknown,
     which the outer handler must re-raise rather than flatten to False, and
     `authorize_relay_target` turns into a refusal. This is the second time a
     convenience `except` in this function created a bypass; there is now no
     permissive return left in it.

R6-2/3/4 THE NINTH LANE: `edit`. ONE dropped field, THREE leaks.
     `RelayAdapter.edit_message` discarded the connector response, and three
     independent callers read a bare edit failure as "editing is unavailable"
     and re-send the content as a NEW message to the same chat:

       stream edit fallback   ['edit', 'edit', 'send']  the unseen tail
       queued reconciliation  ['edit', 'send']          the WHOLE response
       task-card fallback     ['edit', 'send']          the task text again

     Fixed at the source (edit_message carries raw_response) plus each caller:
     `_on_edit_failure` — the single funnel for stream edit failures — makes a
     decline terminal for the run, `_send_fallback_final` refuses to deliver a
     continuation after one, the queued reconciler returns instead of sending,
     and the task-card fallback sets the same terminal state R5-4 introduced.

     R5-4 fixed the native task-card op and I did not check its sibling
     fallback path. The pattern across rounds 3-6 is consistent: the fix goes
     where the decline is OBSERVED, and the leak lives wherever someone else
     later decides to retry.

MUTATIONS

  R6-1  config fault -> assume native            KILLED
  R6-1b RelayRouteUnknown swallowed as False     KILLED
  R6-2  edit drops raw_response                  KILLED
  R6-2b edit-failure decline not terminal        KILLED
  R6-3  queued reconcile falls back on decline   KILLED
  R6-4  task-card fallback edit decline          KILLED

Each with an ordinary-failure control: a genuinely un-editable message must
still be delivered, and a broken card lane must still reach the user.

481 passed, zero failures.

* fix(relay): add a terminal-decline latch at the adapter choke point

THE STRUCTURAL FIX, not a twelfth local check.

Rounds 3-6 of review found ONE defect in eleven lanes: the connector refuses an
op, and some caller downstream reads that as 'this lane is unavailable' and
retries the same content through a DIFFERENT op against the SAME chat. Media,
prompt, draft-open, draft-seal, native task card, task-card fallback edit,
slash-confirm, exec-approval, clarify, stream edit, queued reconciliation.

Each was closed by adding a check at one more call site. That approach cannot
converge: gateway/ has ~60 outbound call sites, every one of them a place a
future change can reintroduce this, and four consecutive review rounds each
found another. The reviewer's own count of lanes is the argument against the
per-site design.

Every relay frame from every one of those callers passes through
_transport.send_outbound. One latch there covers them all: once the connector
refuses a chat, this adapter stops emitting CONTENT frames for that chat.

Proven to subsume the local checks: with the stream-edit per-site check
DISABLED, the leak probe still reports blocked=true — the frame never reaches
the wire. The local checks stay as defence in depth and for their better error
messages, but they are no longer the only thing standing between a decline and
a re-addressed send.

Scope is deliberately narrow, and each limit is mutation-pinned:
  per CHAT       - a refusal must not mute other conversations
  CONTENT ops    - typing/delete carry nothing; latching them would leave a
                   stuck typing indicator for no security gain
  self-healing   - cleared when the connector accepts that chat again, so a
                   transient policy change does not need a restart

Mutations:
  latch never set                KILLED
  latch never consulted          KILLED
  latch is global, not per-chat  KILLED
  latch never clears             KILLED

485 passed.

* fix(relay): one route source; the latch already covered round 7's lanes

Round 7 reviewed 573e41e294 — one commit BEFORE the terminal-decline latch —
and independently reached the same conclusion I had: 'The per-call-site
approach is structurally wrong. Use one turn-scoped choke point.' That is the
latch in 6dbc004594.

Its four 'still broken' lanes (tool-progress edit, progress-overflow edit,
long-running heartbeat edit, stale streamed-final reconciliation) all share the
shape edit_message->declined->adapter.send(same chat, same content), and NONE
has a local check. Probed all four against the latch:

  tool_progress      ops ['edit']  blocked
  progress_overflow  ops ['edit']  blocked
  heartbeat          ops ['edit']  blocked
  stale_final        ops ['edit']  blocked

That is the argument for the choke point, measured: lanes nobody patched are
safe anyway. Pinned by a parametrized test named for those four lanes.

R7-1 IS A REAL BYPASS THE LATCH DOES NOT COVER, and it is fixed here. The guard
rebuilt routing from GATEWAY_RELAY_PLATFORMS while resolve_delivery_transport
asks the CONNECTED adapter (fronts_platform, from the handshake identity set).
Different snapshots: with env discovery stale or momentarily empty, the guard
said 'native' and the router sent over the relay, skipping authorization.

  before: guard_relay_routed False / delivery relay
  after:  guard_relay_routed True  / delivery relay / unattested target refused

The guard now asks the live adapter first and falls back to config only when
there is no runner (CLI/cron) — pinned in both directions.

R7-5 (non-blocking, and a fair hit): my stream-fallback test asserted
_egress_declined and never drove _send_fallback_final, so removing that early
return SURVIVED. The test now calls the real fallback and asserts the wire is
untouched; the mutation dies.

Mutations:
  R7-1 guard ignores the live adapter    KILLED (was SURVIVED)
  R7-5 fallback early return removed     KILLED (was SURVIVED)
  latch not consulted                    KILLED

491 passed.

* fix(relay): close three holes found by attacking my own latch

Round 8's brief told the reviewer to attack the latch. I did the same in
parallel and found three real holes in it before the review returned.

1. send_for_platform BYPASSED THE LATCH ENTIRELY. It builds and posts its frame
   directly rather than through _outbound — and it is the delivery resolver's
   OWN entry point, so it is the single most important caller.
       before: ops ['edit', 'send']   after: ops ['edit']
   gateway/AGENTS.md states the rule I had just broken: 'Seal-interception
   exists at BOTH egress doors (send() and send_for_platform()); a new egress
   door needs the same two checks.' The latch is a third such check and I had
   wired it to one door.

2. A COSMETIC SUCCESS CLEARED THE LATCH. Clearing on ANY success meant a
   typing indicator — routinely allowed for a chat whose content is refused —
   re-opened the door for the very next send:
       ops ['edit', 'typing', 'send']
   Only a CONTENT op the connector accepted may clear it now.

3. A THREAD INSIDE A REFUSED CHAT WAS NOT COVERED. A thread lives inside its
   parent, so the same content reached the same conversation one level down:
       ops ['edit', 'send']
   The latch key now strips the thread suffix.

Also normalised int/str chat ids (callers pass both; a type mismatch would
silently unlatch).

MUTATIONS
  send_for_platform not latched          KILLED
  cosmetic success clears the latch      KILLED
  thread suffix not stripped             KILLED
  draft-seal retry not latched           SURVIVED — EQUIVALENT, proven:
       is unreachable while latched (a declined edit before the seal
      produces ZERO seal frames, measured). Kept as defence in depth because it
      posts directly, and documented at the site rather than covered by a
      test that could not fail.

* fix(relay): Telegram handle exemption + a turn boundary for the latch

Round 8 blockers. Two of its four were already closed by 93750e351a (it
reviewed the commit before it); these two are real and both are mine.

B1 — THE TELEGRAM @HANDLE EXEMPTION COVERED A NATIVE SEND.

_is_unresolved_handle exempts telegram @handles from attestation because
"the connector resolves and authorizes it". That justification is FALSE
whenever the gateway holds its own token: _send_to_platform calls
_send_telegram(pconfig.token, ...) directly and no connector is involved.
So an unattested @handle went out under the gateway's own credential
while the numeric control was correctly refused.

The exemption now requires that no native credential exists. A probe
fault WITHDRAWS the exemption (falls back to the ordinary attestation
check) rather than granting it.

Shipped with the converse control: relay-only config still exempts
@handles, and numeric targets stay guarded in both modes.

B4 — THE LATCH HAD NO BOUNDARY, SO IT WAS AN OUTAGE MECHANISM.

My own regression, and worse than reported. Removing "clear on cosmetic
success" (correctly) removed the ONLY way the latch could ever clear: a
content op can never reach the connector to succeed, because the latch
blocks it locally first. A refusal at 09:00 muted that chat forever.

A new inbound message for a chat is the generation marker — the natural
teardown point. Suppression still holds for the whole turn.

    same_turn_blocked: true     next_turn_delivered: true

MUTATIONS (all killed)
  handle exemption ignores native credential
  native-credential fault GRANTS the exemption
  no turn boundary (latch never clears)
  teardown clears ALL chats not just this one
  teardown ignores the chat

The last two SURVIVED first: I tested _clear_declined_for_turn directly
and never proved _on_inbound calls it — the caller-level gap that has now
produced four blockers on this branch. Added a test driving the real
inbound entry point.

One self-inflicted bug, caught by my own fault test: the probe imported
load_config, which does not exist (it is load_gateway_config), so it
always threw and returned the fault default. The test that pinned fault
behaviour is what exposed it.

510 passed.

* fix(relay): correct latch identity and boundary; one config snapshot

Round 9, four blockers, all reproduced.

B1+B4 — THE TEARDOWN WAS AT THE WRONG PLACE, twice over.

It sat on the adapter's raw _on_inbound, which runs BEFORE profile
routing, the ignored-channel guard, plugin hooks and user authorization.
An unauthorized or dropped event could therefore clear a refusal
belonging to an active turn, and stale content then went out as a
different op. The same placement missed Discord interaction passthrough,
which builds its own MessageEvent and calls handle_message directly, so
slash commands and modal submits stayed muted after an earlier decline.

Both are one mistake: I picked a lane instead of a boundary. Teardown now
runs immediately after _hm_admit_event, the single admission gate every
entry path shares.

  dropped event  -> latch survives, stale send blocked
  admitted event -> latch clears

B2 — THE LATCH KEY SPLIT ON ':', WHICH IS A MISTAKE I ALREADY FIXED ONCE.

_latch_key did str(chat_id).split(":", 1)[0], so !room:tenant-a and
!room:tenant-b both keyed !room: a decline in one Matrix room muted
another, and inbound from one cleared the other's refusal. egress.py
::_session_ids stopped doing exactly this in round 4 and I reintroduced
it three rounds later.

Parent identity is never recoverable from identifier TEXT. Thread
coverage is now structural: _thread_parent looks the relationship up in
the recorded auto-thread map.

B3 — AUTHORIZATION AND DISPATCH USED DIFFERENT CONFIG SNAPSHOTS.

_handle_send retains one pconfig; the guard independently reloaded
config. Across a transition the authorization snapshot could see a
connector-only setup (exemption granted) while dispatch still held the
native token and sent the unattested @handle itself. The guard now takes
native_token from the SAME snapshot dispatch will use. A caller that
omits it does not silently look like "no token".

NB-1/2/3 also closed: real-object snapshot tests, an exception shield
that faces a real exception, and send_follow_up no longer discards the
connector's verdict (that discard is exactly how the edit lane laundered
declines).

MUTATIONS (all killed)
  latch key splits on colon again
  thread parent lookup disabled
  dispatch token ignored by guard
  tool drops the snapshot token
  admission teardown removed
  teardown moved BEFORE admission
  exception shield removed
  follow_up drops raw_response

"admission teardown removed" SURVIVED first: I had tested the helper, not
_handle_message. Added a test driving production _handle_message with
admission stubbed both ways. Fifth caller-level gap on this branch.

One self-inflicted bug caught before commit: I passed pconfig.token in
_handle_react, which has no pconfig — a NameError on every reaction.

516 passed.

* docs(relay): pin the latch's thread coverage limit as a deliberate trade

_thread_parent only sees connector auto-threads, and that map is capped at
256 entries, so a user-created or evicted thread does not inherit its
parent's latch. Documented at the site and asserted by a test, because the
alternative - deriving parents from identifier text - is exactly what muted
unrelated Matrix rooms in round 9.

The primary control is unaffected: authorize_relay_target takes thread_id as
part of the destination and attests it on every send (6 thread tests).

* refactor(relay): one SendResult decline classifier for all 8 gateway lanes

The extraction found a DEFECT, not just repetition.

Eight gateway lanes each hand-rolled the unwrapping of a decline from a
SendResult, and they did not agree. Six checked only raw_response. Two
also checked the error text. A connector that answers with the uniform
decline SENTENCE and no structured code - the documented contract for
older connectors, per _approval_send_outcome - was therefore classified
as an ordinary failure by those six lanes, so each treated a refusal as
"editing unavailable" and retried through another op.

Measured:

    text-only decline    six-site check False    two-site check True
    structured decline   six-site check True     two-site check True

No content leaked, because the adapter latch classifies the transport
dict directly and catches both shapes (verified: text-only decline still
latches C1 and keeps SECRET off the wire). The cost was wrong verdicts
and futile retries, not disclosure.

declined_send(result) in gateway/relay/egress.py now owns this. It checks
raw_response when structured, else the error text, and preserves the
ambiguous exclusion - an ambiguous result is a transport outcome, so it
must never read as a refusal.

run.py keeps its own shape deliberately: that lane has three verdicts
(ambiguous / declined / failed), so it checks ambiguous first and then
delegates the boolean.

MUTATIONS (all killed)
  helper drops the text-only branch
  helper drops the structured branch
  ambiguous no longer excluded
  draft lane decline check removed
  edit-failure lane decline check removed
  prompt verdict lane check removed
  slash-confirm lane check removed
  draft lane goes terminal on ANY failure   (over-refusal direction)

"draft lane decline check removed" SURVIVED first: _send_draft_frame had
no test driving an unsuccessful send_draft at all. Added one, with an
ordinary-failure control so the fix cannot silently become "one flaky
frame mutes the chat". A non-unique anchor also masked the edit-failure
lane on the first pass - the trap my own skill warns about.

This closes the duplication that caused four of nine rounds of blockers:
a new lane now calls one classifier instead of copying three lines.

519 passed.

* fix(relay): latch identity, new-turn boundary, seal arming, ambiguity

Round 10, four blockers, each reproduced before fixing. Two are my own
regressions from the previous two rounds.

B1 - ADMISSION IS NOT A NEW-TURN BOUNDARY.

Round 9 moved teardown to just after _hm_admit_event. That is only an
ADMISSION gate: an authorized message can be steered into a running
session, answer a pending prompt, run a busy slash command, or be refused
by the pause/drain gates - all without starting a turn. Each of those
cleared the ACTIVE turn's refusal, and a later fallback from that turn
reached the wire (probe: latch emptied, wire ops ['edit', 'send']).

Teardown now runs after _claim_active_session_slot, the first point the
runner OWNS a new turn. The new test drives production _handle_message
through all four non-turn lanes plus the real new-turn path.

B2 - LATCH IDENTITY OMITTED THE LOGICAL PLATFORM.

One relay adapter fronts several platforms, so native ids collide. A
Discord refusal for chat 42 was cleared by clear_egress_latch("telegram",
"42") - the method took a platform and ignored it - and the Discord
fallback then reached the connector. Keyed by normalized platform plus
exact chat id; thread-parent expansion keeps the platform component.

B3 - THE DIRECT DRAFT-SEAL PATH DID NOT ARM THE LATCH.

_seal_open_draft posts through _attempt directly rather than _outbound,
so a definite decline logged and returned but never latched. The
immediate plain-send fallback was suppressed by the caller's own check;
later same-turn sends were not (wire ['draft', 'draft', 'send'], the
third frame carrying refused content).

B4 - MY OWN REFACTOR MADE AMBIGUOUS RESULTS TERMINAL.

send_draft's ambiguous projection discarded raw_response, so
declined_send fell through to the error-text branch - and an ambiguous
result whose text carries the decline marker ("... egress declined: ack
lost") read as a DEFINITE refusal and terminated the run. Ambiguous means
the frame may well have been delivered: a transport outcome, never an
authorization one.

Fixed on both layers: the projection carries the body (and the seal's
ambiguous return is now explicit too), and declined_send's text-only
branch - which cannot see the ambiguous flag - treats ack-lost text as
transport ambiguity. Audited every SendResult projection in adapter.py
for the same shape.

MUTATIONS (all killed)
  latch key drops the platform
  clear_egress_latch ignores platform
  draft seal does not arm the latch
  ambiguous projection drops raw body
  declined_send infers decline from ack-lost text
  teardown back at admission

523 passed.

* refactor(relay): split the terminal-decline latch out of the guard PR

The latch moves to feat/p5-egress-decline-latch (pushed at 3cf45736d7,
which retains the full history) for redesign. This PR keeps the
authorization guard and the per-site decline checks.

WHY. Across eleven review rounds the two halves behaved very differently.
The guard is a PURE FUNCTION of the destination - its blockers were all
"you asked the wrong question" (case sensitivity, nested ImportError,
missing thread_id, config snapshot skew), each a one-line correction that
then stayed fixed. Rounds 7-10 found nothing new in it.

The latch is MUTABLE STATE WITH A LIFETIME living on RelayAdapter - an
object registered once per process that holds the WebSocket and has no
concept of a turn. Nine of its blockers reduce to three questions the
adapter cannot answer: when does it end, who arms it, what is it keyed
on. Every answer so far has been a proxy (a successful op, an inbound
message, an admitted event, a claimed session slot) and every proxy was
wrong in a lane found later.

The per-site checks hold identical information on `st` - a PER-TURN
object - and have produced zero blockers, because the state dies with the
turn and nobody has to decide when it ends.

The no-relaunder property does NOT depend on the latch. Measured on the
real consumer path with the latch absent: a declined draft frame sets
_egress_declined and puts nothing on the wire.

Removal verified structurally rather than by eye: an AST diff of every
symbol between HEAD and this tree reports only latch symbols gone,
nothing added. That check caught two over-deletions my strip made -
_on_inbound (consumed by a "next def" boundary) and _SEEN_INBOUND_MAX
(a class constant inside the removed span). Both restored; 19 failures
went to 0.

ALSO: RESTORED A TEST I WRONGLY REPORTED AS PASSING.

test_tool_guard_forwards_thread_id never made it into the repo - `git log
-S` finds it in no commit - though round 5 recorded its mutant as killed.
Dropping thread_id from the guard call therefore survived the entire
tests/tools suite (146 passed). Written properly this time, driving the
real _handle_send far enough to reach the guard. It now KILLS that
mutant.

MUTATIONS on this tree
  guard fault authorizes instead of refusing      KILLED
  thread_id dropped from the guard call           KILLED  (was SURVIVED)
  handle exemption ignores native credential      KILLED
  draft lane decline check removed                KILLED
  prompt verdict lane check removed               KILLED
  slash-confirm lane check removed                KILLED

503 passed.

* test(relay): close the phantom-coverage gaps the guard audit found

The thread_id test that was reported as killing a round-5 mutant turned
out never to have been committed. That is a reason to distrust the other
claimed kills, so I re-ran every guard mutation against the COMMITTED
tree instead of trusting the earlier reports.

Result: 9 of 11 killed, and the two "SKIPPED" ones had non-unique
anchors hiding SIX separate sites. Mutating those individually found
three real survivors.

CASE NORMALISATION (round 3, finding 3) WAS HALF-COVERED.

test_relay_fronted_matching_is_case_insensitive varies the CONFIGURED
name but always requests lowercase "discord", so it pins _relay_fronted's
normalisation and nothing else. The REQUESTED name's `.lower()` was
covered by nothing at all. Probe with it removed:

    relay_routed("Discord") -> False
    authorize("Discord", unattested) -> AUTHORIZED

which is exactly the bypass round 3 reported, alive again and untested.

Two further sites were untested in the OVER-REFUSAL direction: the
attested store is keyed lowercase, so a mixed-case request missed its own
attested set and refused legitimate traffic. attested_relay_targets' own
normalisation was invisible to every existing test because they all
monkeypatch that function away; it is now asserted against the real
function with only its leaf sources stubbed.

Three tests added. All six case sites now die when mutated.

I also re-did the three fail-closed RelayRouteUnknown mutations properly.
The first pass swapped whole lines and produced IndentationErrors, so
"KILLED" there proved nothing but a syntax error. Neutralising each raise
at correct indentation: all three genuinely KILLED.

FINAL AUDIT ON THIS TREE — 17 mutations, zero survivors
  guard: thread_id dropped at the call site
  guard: react path unguarded
  guard: handle exemption ignores native credential
  guard: 3x fail-closed raise neutralised
  guard: 6x case-normalisation site
  classifier: ambiguous treated as a decline
  classifier: text-only decline branch removed
  lane: draft / stream-edit / prompt / slash-confirm checks removed

511 passed.

* test(relay): make the stream-edit test fail for the right reason

Review of 45835a282d raised one blocking issue and three non-blocking
ones. All four are addressed; none was a production defect.

BLOCKING — the stream-edit test failed on the double, not on a leak.

test_declined_stream_edit_does_not_send_the_unseen_tail implemented only
the GUARDED path in its consumer double. Removing either guard therefore
raised AttributeError inside the fake before any send could be observed:

  guard 1 removed -> AttributeError: no attribute '_is_flood_error'
  guard 2 removed -> AttributeError: no attribute '_clean_for_display'

Red, but for the wrong reason — the test could not have caught the leak
it is named for. My own docstring claimed it drove the fallback and
checked the wire; it did neither.

The double now implements everything the UNGUARDED path reaches
(_is_flood_error, _flood_strikes, _current_edit_interval, _last_edit_time,
_notify_new_message, _try_strip_cursor, _clean_for_display,
_fallback_prefix, _metadata_for_send). Both mutations now fail on real
assertions:

  guard 1 removed -> assert consumer._egress_declined is True
  guard 2 removed -> AssertionError: the unseen tail reached the wire:
                     ['send']

NON-BLOCKING 1 — a docstring claimed more than the test exercises.

test_requested_platform_name_is_also_normalised described a mixed-case
send_message(target="Discord:999") bypass. That entry point cannot reach
it: _resolve_tool_target lowercases the platform at
tools/send_message_tool.py:47 before the guard runs. The test still pins
a real contract — the helpers must not assume a lowercased argument, for
the gateway lanes and any future non-normalising caller — so the claim is
narrowed to that rather than the test removed.

NON-BLOCKING 2 — the module docstring said "every lane drives the REAL
RelayAdapter". The stream tests drive mixin doubles by design, because
the behaviour under test belongs to the adapter's CALLER. Docstring now
distinguishes the two kinds.

NON-BLOCKING 3 — latch-deletion residue in gateway/relay/adapter.py:418:

      return None
      return latched if surface_declines else None

The second line was unreachable and referenced a name deleted with the
latch. Removed, along with the 20-line comment block describing the latch
as "the structural fix" — that mechanism now lives on
feat/p5-egress-decline-latch, not here.

The reviewer independently confirmed the large deletion: an AST census
between 3cf45736d7 and f57a2298fa reports only latch symbols removed and
nothing added.

511 passed.

* docs(relay): correct three claims that outran the code

Review of 41ce3cc765 found no new production defect but three overstated
claims, one of them in my own commit message.

1. THE LATCH COMMENTARY WAS STILL THERE. My previous commit message said
   it removed "the 20-line comment block describing the latch as the
   structural fix". It removed only the unreachable statement. Twenty
   lines at adapter.py:361-380 still described a per-chat latch, a choke
   point and its scope rules - none of which exist on this branch. In a
   refusal-sensitive module that reads as coverage this branch does not
   have. Now removed for real.

   This is the same defect class as the tests: a claim that outran what
   the code does. I made it while fixing that class.

2. THE STREAM-TEST DOCSTRING OVERSTATED BOTH MUTANTS. It said the
   mutation "now fails on the assertion that a send reached the wire" -
   true of one guard, not both. Verified separately:

     remove the _on_edit_failure check  -> dies on _egress_declined,
                                           never reaches the fallback
     remove the fallback early return   -> dies on the wire: ['send']

   Both are valid behavioural failures, which is what the blocker asked
   for; they are different observables and the docstring now says so.

3. Duplicate `from types import SimpleNamespace` from an earlier scripted
   insert; imports reordered.

112 tests pass in the four focused files.

* fix(relay): close two authorization defects found in review

Both were reproduced before fixing and both mutants are pinned.

1. A LIVE relay adapter whose fronts_platform() raised degraded into the
   config fallback. `_live_relay_fronted` returned None for every failure,
   and None means "no live adapter, use the config snapshot" — so a faulting
   adapter plus an empty/stale snapshot made the guard conclude "not
   relay-routed" and authorize an unattested destination, while
   resolve_delivery_transport asks that same adapter and still routes over
   the relay. Measured: relay_routed=False, verdict None for chat 999.

   Absence and fault now have separate return values: None only when there
   is no runner or no relay adapter; a live adapter that cannot answer
   raises RelayRouteUnknown. This is the third instance of this bug class in
   this file, and the first two were also mine.

2. An attested chat whose id equalled the requested THREAD id vouched for
   that thread. The `thread in attested` arm proved nothing about parentage.
   Measured: attested {"-100A", "7"} authorized (-100A, thread 7).

   Only the bound `parent:thread` form is accepted now. Nothing legitimate
   needed the bare arm — _session_entry_id records a threaded origin as
   f"{chat_id}:{thread_id}", and a thread addressed as its own channel
   arrives as chat_id and passes the parent check.

The existing test blessed the bare form via parametrize, so it PINNED the
defect. Corrected, plus negative controls for the sibling-chat and
other-parent cases and a positive control proving genuine absence still
takes the config path (otherwise fix 1 would break native-only deploys).

Merged origin/main (was 22 behind). 428 passed via scripts/run_tests.sh;
full 10-row mutation ledger re-killed on the merged tree, none dying on an
exception rather than an assertion.

* fix(relay): only a missing adapter is absence; everything else is a fault

Reviewer BLOCKER, reproduced before fixing. Two more paths where a PRESENT
relay adapter still degraded into the config snapshot:

1. `fronts_platform` may be a property or descriptor, so the ATTRIBUTE
   LOOKUP can raise — and the lookup sat inside the absence handler. Probed
   with a raising property plus an empty snapshot: live=None, routed=False,
   verdict=None, i.e. an unattested target authorized. The previous test made
   an already-retrieved METHOD raise, so it could not reach this.

2. A present adapter with no usable `fronts_platform` returned None for the
   same reason. An adapter that cannot say what it fronts is broken, not
   absent, so it now raises too.

Also found by my own spot-check while the review ran: the nested imports of
`gateway.config` / `gateway.run` inside the live probe shared the broad
handler, so a broken installation degraded to the snapshot as well. Probed
with a healthy-adapter positive control in the same run — healthy refused
the unattested target, faulted authorized it. `_relay_fronted` one function
below already drew this exact distinction for its own import.

The boundary is now: `relay is None` is the ONLY absence. Everything about a
present adapter — attribute access, callability, the call itself, and the
imports needed to reach it — is a fault and raises RelayRouteUnknown.

This is the fourth variant of absence-vs-fault in this file and all four
were mine. The lesson is in the code as a comment rather than in a commit
message nobody re-reads.

Four controls keep genuine absence benign: no runner, no relay adapter in
the runner, a real ModuleNotFoundError naming the gateway package, and the
configured-attested-target-still-sends case.

434 passed via scripts/run_tests.sh; 9-row mutation ledger re-killed
including both new guards, none dying on an exception.

* fix(relay): invert the live probe to fail closed by default

Reviewer BLOCKER round 2, reproduced: reading the adapter registry can also
raise. A runner whose `adapters.get()` raised gave relay_present=True,
live=None, routed=False, verdict=None — unattested discord:999 authorized.

That was the FIFTH boundary in one function with the same defect: the call,
the attribute lookup, a non-callable attribute, the nested imports, and now
the registry lookup. Each round I patched the reported boundary and the
defect moved one statement up. The cause was the shape, not the statements:
the function asked "did something go wrong?" and answered None, and None
MEANS "no live adapter, use the config snapshot" — so every statement was a
new chance to fail open, and every new statement would have been too.

Inverted rather than patched a sixth time. Each `return None` now sits
behind an explicit narrow check that cannot itself be the fault (no runner,
no adapters, no relay key, gateway package genuinely absent), and one outer
handler turns anything else into RelayRouteUnknown. A statement added inside
this function is now fail-CLOSED by default.

Verified all six fault shapes raise (call, attribute, missing method,
registry .get, .adapters property, runner ref) and all five absence shapes
stay benign, plus a liveness control where the config snapshot disagrees
with a healthy adapter and the adapter still wins.

Four new tests, including the two absence controls that keep native-only and
CLI deployments working. 438 passed via scripts/run_tests.sh. Mutation
ledger: 8 killed. One survivor recorded as a proven equivalent mutant —
widening `if not registry` to `or {}` is behaviourally identical because
`{}.get()` returns None, i.e. the same absence; it is a readability guard.

712734436e fix(pm): make bootstrap and bundle ownership explicit
Finish bootstrap uv before PM replaces its store entry. Keep failure
receipts stdlib-only and align the cryptography requirement and override
with the locked version.

Let bundle builders declare launch paths and update ownership. Remove
payload discovery, Store probing, and the unused develop command.
Derive Nix Python from the PM lock and share its provenance stamp.

Document setup, activation, optional dependencies, and distribution
ownership. Targeted Windows tests, relocated runtime launches, Electron
bundling, and bilingual docs builds pass. Native Nix and signed-package
acceptance remain CI gates.

5280fe9987 fix: cron and local DMs reach an open Desktop Bot Chat
Route local producers to durable owner ingress before attempting the unowned
CLI lane. Preserve per-run/per-message IDs and receipt-first retry handling;
never fall back after ambiguous admission. Report cron admission as queued,
not completed or failed, in job status, the execution ledger and CLI/tool UX.

Native isolated Electron validation reproduces SESSION_NOT_OWNED on main for
both idle and busy owners. Fixed owner consumes idle cron, busy cron, local
DM and mounted-chat cron exactly once, keeps its lease, yields to queued
human input, and preserves the prior model-request prefix and tool schema.
Inference alone used a deterministic loopback wire stub; no paid model call.

db96c8ced7 fix: admit Bot Chat deliveries through the live session owner
Adapt FalconOrtiz's owner-mailbox proposal from #101564 onto the current
notification poller and topical modules. The durable mailbox is cross-process
ingress only: the existing owner admits its normal prompt turn after the
current turn and human FIFO clear. Retain immutable receipts, stable admission
identities, capability and lease fencing, compression lineage, and disable
blind recovery replay of imported turns.

The original stale server hunks and expiring receipt protocol were rebuilt
rather than cherry-picked: the current facade decomposition and durable busy
admission contract differ. Credit the earlier owner-mailbox work in #100544
and durable producer work in #100319.

58faa10134 fix(approvals): match denied executable paths behind shell prefixes
Adapt the command-position, bounded-candidate and launcher-option work from
embwl0x's #76063 to the current detection owner, then add executable basename
projection from Rohith Pariki's #104338. Parse raw quote state before applying
existing text normalization so quoted arguments do not become commands.

Cover shell payloads and literal env split-string carriers, retain path-specific
rules and whole-command globs, and document the supported normalization rather
than claiming an OS capability sandbox. Related: #104308, #76037, #76063,
#104338, #78521, #86711. No automatic closing directives: the older carriers
also contain broader case syntax and git-option work not included here.

3b7ff435fd fix(kanban): preserve durable origins for worker-created tasks
Carry the owning task's notification subscriptions independently of dependency
edges, within the creation transaction. Prefer its durable session over worker
and request-local sessions while preserving explicit overrides. Cover worker
CLI create and built-in decomposition, and retain conversation route anchors.
Auto-subscribe no longer upgrades an inherited passive subscription.

Slim adaptation of Christopher-Schulze's session-precedence fix in #85687,
expanded to durable subscription provenance and sibling creation paths.
Related: #85575, #85687

Validation: strict RED/GREEN (7 failing cases before; 7 passing after), then
58 Kanban test files: 383 passed, 2 skipped. Real dispatcher-spawn subprocess
probe covers direct, linked, unlinked, explicit-session, worker CLI, built-in
children and a plain CLI negative control, with recording transport only.
