A cron job delivering to Bot Chat booked "timed out after 600s" for turns that finished in seconds: cron/scheduler_delivery.py::_deliver_to_bot_chat waited for the `hermes chat -Q` child to EXIT, but when the bot's turn had messaged a teammate (message_agent -> notify_on_complete runner) the child then runs the one-shot exit linger, bounded by terminal.oneshot_completion_wait_seconds (default 600) — the same default as cron.bot_chat_delivery_timeout_seconds. The cap counts from the claim, the linger only starts when the turn ends, so the cap expired first on every such delivery, booked a completed turn as a timeout, held the job's fire fence for the full cap, and killed the child mid-linger — tearing down the reply the linger exists to protect (#90879). Ordering the two bounds cannot fix it (the turn has no duration bound; the linger has its own contract), so the cap stops competing with the linger: - hermes_cli/quiet_single_query.py: the -Q child accepts a per-process report path (HERMES_QUIET_TURN_REPORT_FILE), popped before the turn like HERMES_TURN_AUTHOR so nothing the turn spawns inherits it; cli.py writes {pid, exit_code, error} there the moment the turn ends, BEFORE the linger. - cron: _run_bot_chat_turn polls the child and that report under the cap. Report present -> the delivery is booked from it (real exit code and stream tails when the child exits within a short grace) and the still- lingering child is left running, drained and reaped by a daemon thread. No report by the cap -> the turn never ended: killed and booked as a timeout, exactly as before. The linger itself is untouched. Live repro (real _deliver_to_bot_chat, real `hermes chat -Q` against a loopback provider whose turn spawns `sleep 90` with notify_on_complete, cap 45s): base books the timeout at 45.7s for a turn that ended at +5s and kills the child; fixed head books success at 11.2s, the child lingers, the teammate follow-up turn runs at +97s and the child exits on its own. Supersedes #113649's cap = delivery + linger (the thread shows a headroom only moves the race and lengthens the fence hold); analysis credit to the reporter and the thread's independent verification.
