 7. If the agent description mentions that it should be used proactively, then you should try your best to use it without the user having to ask for it first. Use your judgement.

+ * no `deps`, so `SessionPrompt` resolved `Effect.serviceOption` to `None` and built a PRIVATE
+ * coordinator inline. Because `LayerNode.compile` memoizes by node identity and this package's
+ * layer graph is shared across Instances, that private object's maps were process-wide: every
+ * Instance saw every other Instance's scopes and claims. §14.1 named the AppRuntime provision as the
+ * cause, but that provision is inert on the prompt path — the served graph never reached it.
+ *
+ * Each test below states which half it proves, and every negative is paired with a positive control.
+ * A cross-Instance isolation assertion is worthless alone: "B cannot see A's scope" is also true
+ * when nothing was scoped at all, when `open` silently failed, or when the coordinator is inert. The
+ * same-Instance positive is what makes the negative mean isolation rather than absence.

+     * Section 18's G8-01: "core closes a branch identically with the participant module absent."
+     *
+     * THE QUESTION IS PARITY, NOT ABSENCE. Every gate before this one ran with no participant at
+     * all, so the flag-off half is established by every suite run and by the wiring row's flag-off
+     * arm. The direction that asks something new is flag-ON: does registering a REAL participant
+     * change core's behaviour on paths that do not involve it?
+     *
+     * IT USES THE REAL ADAPTER OVER AN INERT COORDINATOR, which is what makes it constructible at
+     * all. `AttachmentCoordinator` allocates per-Instance state and the driver fixture creates and
+     * provides its OWN Instance internally, while a `Ports.Participant` must be built before that
+     * fixture runs and its methods carry no requirement channel - so a coordinator built out here
+     * would answer from a registry the fixture never wrote to. `inertCoordinator()` needs no
+     * Instance and answers `locate` with `undefined`, so the module under test is the genuine
+     * production adapter while every subject is simply out of its scope. That is exactly G8-01's
+     * "covers nothing" condition.
+     *
+     * ONLY `discover` AND `observe` ARE ISSUED, AND THAT IS THE SUBSET-SELECTION PROPERTY RATHER
+     * THAN A GAP. A participant that reports no coverage leaves `covered` empty, and `claim` and
+     * `cancel` are gated on it - so their absence here is core declining to ask about work nobody
+     * claimed, which is the same property K2 asserts by making them lethal.
+     *
+     * SWEEPS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE COMPARISON, and this is measured rather than assumed: the absent
+     * arm settles in three sweeps and the registered arm in four. Every exchange invalidates the
+     * proof that preceded it, so `observeStateAtFence` forces a re-proof whenever one ran - a
+     * registered participant costs exactly one sweep BY DESIGN. G8-01 asserts that core's OUTCOME is
+     * identical, not that its path length is; including sweeps would fail this row for the one
+     * difference that is specified behaviour. Everything core constructed, signalled, read and
+     * recorded is still compared.
+     *
+     * THE NON-VACUITY GUARD IS THE LOAD-BEARING PART. If the participant were silently unregistered
+     * both arms would trivially agree. An earlier revision of this row had a malformed recorder that
+     * made every exchange fail, and core then failed the operation terminally with zero facts - and
+     * because the guard asserts the module was GENUINELY EXERCISED, that showed up as a red row
+     * instead of a false "parity confirmed" against one healthy arm and one empty one. Keep it.

+// CP-023 §17.2 K55, against a REAL fence.
+//
+// K55 requires that "fence at every boundary proves no deletion, compaction, loop, or provider
+// starts prematurely". Every other fence in this area is SCRIPTED at the coordinator's `acquire`
+// answer — closure-http-summarize.test.ts hands back a literal `{ type: "fenced" }`. That tests the
+// seam's RESPONSE to a refusal; it does not test that a fence ARISES correctly through the real
+// mechanism, and the two are not the same thing (see the note on join-vs-refuse below).
+//
+// Slice M deferred this as Gate-4 work on the grounds that production `Ports.layer` ships a no-op
+// driver, so no real fence could be raised. That was wrong as stated: `Ports.makeLayer` accepts a
+// driver, `closure-revert-mutation.test.ts:72` has raised real fences this way since well before
+// Gate 3, and `LayerNodeTree.compile` substitution reaches the Ports node. The mechanism existed
+// all along. What this file adds is that it reaches through the HTTP graph too.
+//
+// WHAT A REAL FENCE DOES HERE, AND WHY IT IS NOT A REFUSAL. `SessionHttpApi.summarize` admits with
+// `origin: "external"`, so §7.2's join-then-retry applies: a fenced external admission JOINS and
+// waits for physical/logical closure and fence release before retrying. It does not refuse. Fence
+// RELEASE runs through the operation phase machinery (quiescence -> planning -> recording ->
+// release.commit) that Gate 4 owns; `planning.return` constructs the frozen generation and enters
+// recording atomically. This is the same limit the manifest already records against
+// `coordinator-release-never-wakes`. So the observable at Gate 3 is that the request PARKS having
+// done nothing — which is precisely K55's criterion. The scripted fence and the real one therefore
+// produce different outcomes for this seam (500 vs park), and only the real one reflects production.

+// CP-023 Gate 5 slice E1 — §10.3's identity hierarchy.
+//
+// "During `planning`, for every target transcript the driver resolves identity in this strict order."
+// The order is load-bearing rather than a preference: §10.5 records `identity_source` in the frozen
+// metadata and `source_user_message_id` ONLY for `prior_user_message`, and `model.ts::validIdentity`
+// enforces that as a biconditional — so a resolver picking the wrong source produces an identity the
+// model rejects, and one carrying the wrong coordinate produces a record that lies about its origin.
+//
+// WHY THE DECISION IS TESTED AS A PURE FUNCTION. `select` is the whole of §10.3's logic and the
+// production adapter calls exactly it, so these run the SAME code the driver runs — not a parallel
+// implementation. The alternative was faking a 28-method `Session.Interface` to exercise two reads,
+// which would have been both brittle and unable to reach the pathological branches cheaply: a Session
+// row carrying a model but no agent, or a transcript whose only User Message is a closure record.
+// `discovery.ts` makes the same argument in the other direction — keep decision logic out of the
+// adapter, because logic in an adapter can only be exercised through fixtures with live fibers.
+//
+// The integration test at the bottom is what keeps that split honest: it proves the adapter really
+// reads `Session` and really calls `select`, so the pure suite cannot drift into testing a function
+// nothing production uses.

+ * The coordinator half of the bind-before-arm protocol.
+ *
+ * Everything here is proved against the real coordinator and the real model - `realClosure` builds
+ * `SessionClosure.layer` itself - with only the driver scripted, because the driver is what lets a
+ * fence be held mid-flight. Every test but the last calls the coordinator directly and touches no
+ * BackgroundJob registry. That separation is deliberate: proving the coordinator's answers on their
+ * own is what makes connecting the two checkable, rather than wiring two unproved halves together
+ * and testing only the composition.
+ *
+ * The final test is the end-to-end proof and deliberately breaks that rule, because once both
+ * halves are proved the remaining risk is the join itself - and nothing else in the codebase
+ * exercises a real admission through the registry to a real coordinator.
+ *
+ * Covered: a bind after the fence is cancellation-owned with no escape, both orderings of the
+ * permit compare-and-set, and the epoch and stale-handle rejections.

+     * `result` is read under a bound, and the bound carries information rather than merely
+     * protecting the suite. Cancellation ownership arrives through `gate()`, which `apply()` runs
+     * after every transition and which converts a cancelled scope into a `status: "cancelled"`
+     * resolution. Without it `result` does not fail - it finds no resolution, cannot take its
+     * immediate-success branch because the scope has attached, and blocks on the completion
+     * Deferred. Failing fast and blocking forever are the two outcomes worth distinguishing, and an
+     * unbounded read would turn the second into a hung suite instead of a failure.
+     *
+     * The untouched-scope control exists because "result failed" is weak evidence alone. A second
+     * scope that never attached resolves its caller's fallback immediately through the same code
+     * path, establishing that `result` can answer at all and that the failure below belongs to the
+     * cancellation rather than to a `result` that never returns anything.
+     *
+     * What the wake clause does NOT prove independently: after cancellation `needsWake()` is blocked
+     * by two separate terms - `!state.cancelled`, and `!state.resolution`, the latter true only
+     * because `gate()` converted the cancellation into a resolution. Either alone still blocks the
+     * wake, so this pins the pair jointly with the cancellation receipt rather than the guard on its
+     * own. Its non-vacuity comes from the precontrol instead, which is why the precontrol is not

+     * Targeted child cancellation with a surviving parent permits one normal delivery and wake;
+     * an ancestor closure that includes the parent suppresses that wake instead.
+     *
+     * The differential runs under one fence with two independent parent/child pairs, so the only
+     * variable between the arms is whether the parent is named in the claim. Running the arms
+     * sequentially against a single pair would not work: cancellation is monotonic, so once a parent
+     * is cancelled it stays cancelled and the surviving arm could never be observed afterwards. Two
+     * pairs under one claim isolates the variable exactly.
+     *
+     * What makes targeting work is the claim-time exact binding. Naming a child captures that
+     * child's current Scope under core's opaque fence ref; later cancellation invokes the captured
+     * Scope capability without re-locating the reusable SessionID. A parent's Scope is untouched
+     * unless the parent is itself named. That is why "targeted" is a real property rather than a
+     * description of intent, and why a replacement scope under the same id cannot redirect
+     * cancellation.
+     *
+     * Arm 1 asserts a survival, and that is deliberate. Everything else on this cancellation path
+     * asserts a suppression, and a suppression here is always reachable by a second route - atomic
+     * cancellation both clears the substrate a predicate reads and derives state that blocks it
+     * again - so weakening one guard need not change the result. A survival has no such second
+     * route: nothing else in the system produces it. Asserting what survives is therefore how to get
+     * independent falsification on a path where asserting what is suppressed cannot, which is the
+     * transferable part of this test. Exact targeting's own independent check is the replacement
+     * scope case: swap the SessionID's registered Scope between claim and cancel, and only the
+     * captured generation is cancelled.
+     *
+     * The wake precontrol is load-bearing for both arms. `needsWake()` is an eight-term conjunction,
+     * so a parent in any ordinary state answers false for reasons unrelated to a fence. Both parents
+     * are driven to the exact state where a wake is genuinely due (`everAttached`, no live jobs, no
+     * undelivered outcome, no clean candidate) and asserted true before the claim, so arm 1's true
+     * means "still due" and arm 2's false means "suppressed" rather than "never was due".
+     *
+     * The edge-record half is not proved here, for a structural reason rather than by choice. Core's
+     * record projection lives in the driver fixture, which creates and provides its own Instance
+     * internally, while a `Ports.Participant` must be constructed before that fixture runs and its
+     * methods carry no requirement channel. Since the attachment registry is per-Instance, a
+     * coordinator built outside would `locate` nothing. That is a test-composition obstacle, not a
+     * gap in the capability; core's edge-record behaviour for a closed branch is covered separately.

+       * path that differs from the test path this program's most productive defect source. EVERY

+       * inert sibling while the real `SessionClosure` received an empty list, and not one existing
+       * assertion in the suite would move.
+       *
+       * `ports.ts` states exactly why that failure is AVAILABLE rather than hypothetical:
+       * `LayerNode.compile` "resolves strictly by the declared `deps` object graph ... there is no
+       * service-tag lookup across the assembled group, so a participant-bearing sibling node would

+       * was a source-shape guard that broke SILENTLY the moment its artifact changed while the
+       * mechanism was intact, and repeating that shape here would repeat that failure.
+       *
+       * The flag-off arm is the positive control that keeps the flag-on arm honest — asserting a list
+       * is non-empty proves nothing if it could never have been empty — and it is simultaneously
+       * G8-01's feature-off property read OFF the production graph rather than asserted about it.

+   * `server.ts`) or builds `SessionClosure.node` alone. The combined SessionClosureRunState graph
+   * is a third path and it is the one `app-runtime.ts` uses — so it deserves its own assertion,
+   * especially now that Gate 5 grew it from two providers to six: SessionClosure, SessionRunState,
+   * Discovery, Lineage, ToolPart and Location. Those transitively re-provide `Session`,
+   * `BackgroundJob` and `SessionPhysical`, and `Session` itself self-provides `SessionClosure`.
+   *
+   * THE PROPERTY IS ONE COORDINATOR, not merely that it builds. `Layer` memoises on layer OBJECT
+   * identity, so the repeated `SessionClosure.node` deep in those chains should collapse to a
+   * single instance. If it did not, this would compile and be silently wrong in exactly the way
+   * `app-runtime.ts` warns about — the admission seam asking one coordinator while the job binder
+   * asks another.
+   *
+   * ASSERTED ON COORDINATOR STATE, and the first attempt is worth recording because it was VACUOUS.
+   * Comparing `RuntimeIdentity.instance` looked like a direct test of the collapse and is not:
+   * that id is derived from the routed Instance, so two distinct coordinators in one directory
+   * report the SAME value. Hand-falsified with `Layer.fresh` forcing a second build, it stayed green.
+   * An operation, by contrast, lives in exactly one coordinator's state — so running one through the

+// THE PRODUCTION GRAPH DRIVES REQUEST-BORNE CAPABILITIES — Gate 5 slices B1 and B2.
+//
+// Gate 4 built `FENCE_AND_QUIESCE` and assembled it nowhere. `SessionClosureDriver.make()` had
+// exactly ONE construction site in the tree and it was a test file; discovery, lineage and toolPart
+// were supplied only by test-authored `RuntimePorts`. §6.9 records that as the most consequential
+// thing that gate handed forward: a production path that differs from the test path is this
+// program's most productive defect source. B1 shipped the real driver; B2 moved the three evidence
+// capabilities onto the REQUEST, which is the only seam that can carry them without closing a layer
+// cycle — and is now the same seam `closure/run-state.ts` uses in production.
+//
+// WHY THESE TESTS EXIST RATHER THAN THE ONES ABOVE. Landing the real driver changed nothing any
+// existing assertion could see, and that was MEASURED rather than assumed — the full 354-test closure
+// suite stayed green across the change, because with no `discovery` the real driver takes §8.5's
+// fail-closed return and settles `closure_unavailable`, exactly the observable the no-op produced.
+// §6.9's standing check applies directly: before recording that a mechanism closes a gap, ask what
+// would have to be true for the gap to be reachable at all. Nothing already here could falsify it.
+//
+// WHAT DRIVING THE REAL GRAPH REVEALED, AND WHY SLICE C EXISTS. `validateSession` is a FOURTH
+// capability of exactly the same shape, and B2 found it unsupplied in production. Its absence is
+// FAIL-CLOSED: `coordinator.ts` reads an absent `validateSession` as `false` for any session that
+// does not already hold an epoch, and `model.ts::create` seeds an epoch only for the REQUESTED ROOT.
+// So the production graph could claim the root and nothing else — every discovered descendant was
+// rejected with a `LocationError` at claim time, ending the run before any signal was dispatched.
+//
+// It survived four gates because both halves of the hazard were present at once: the stub driver
+// never reached the claim gate, and every driver fixture supplies `validateSession: () => true`. The
+// test path had it and the production path did not.
+//
+// Slice C supplies it, from `closure/location.ts` through the same request seam. §5.1 settles the
+// semantics without inventing any — "validates its persisted Location/workspace metadata against the
+// current routed Instance" — and §5.1's C-S3 disposition settles the placement by describing the
+// bound as TWO mechanisms, "directory-keyed `InstanceState` PLUS validated Location/workspace
+// metadata", which K46 splits by verb: (d) distinct Sessions "cannot cross-claim", structural; (b) a
+// wrong Location "rejects", this check.
+//
+// THE DECLARED LIMIT B2 WROTE HERE DID ITS JOB. That assertion said the run stops at the gate, and
+// recorded that a later slice closing the gap SHOULD turn it red. It did, on the first run after
+// slice C landed — which is why the A/B below is now an assertion about the gate's REACH rather than

+// ONE coordinator in the composed graph, not two.
+//
+// Slice M's feasibility spike measured that a `LayerNode.compile` substitution reached the
+// services the HTTP handler resolves directly but NOT the closure captured inside `Session.layer`,
+// and flagged the mechanism open. Two readings were available and they are not close. Benign: one
+// shared coordinator, and the spike simply failed to substitute that binding. Serious: the composed
+// graph instantiates `SessionClosure` TWICE, giving two fence registries — a fence raised through
+// one invisible to the other, which would hollow out every Gate-2/3 admission and mutation lease in
+// production rather than only in tests. The whole gate rests on the first reading.
+//
+// It is the first. Measured two independent ways.
+//
+//   (1) A COUNT. `Ports.Interface.make` runs exactly once per `makeRuntime` (coordinator.ts:1096),
+//       and `makeRuntime` runs once per (coordinator instance x directory) through that instance's
+//       OWN `InstanceState` ScopedCache (coordinator.ts:1455; instance-state.ts:30-45 allocates a
+//       fresh cache per `make` call, so two coordinators could not share one). In a single-directory
+//       graph the call count therefore IS the number of live coordinators. It is 1 after the
+//       published coordinator and `Session`'s captured one have both built their runtimes.
+//   (2) BEHAVIOUR, which depends on none of that reasoning: a real fence raised through the
+//       PUBLISHED coordinator refuses `Session.replacePart`. One registry.
+//
+// WHY THE SPIKE MISSED IT — established by reproduction, not inferred. `Layer` memoization is keyed
+// on layer OBJECT IDENTITY, and `packages/core/src/effect/memo-map.ts` exports ONE process-wide
+// `MemoMap` shared by `server.ts:115,340`, `app-runtime.ts:52,114`, `bootstrap-runtime.ts:11` and
+// `run-service.ts:7`. `Session.node` and `SessionClosure.node` are module-level constants reused
+// by every composition, and `server.ts:335` builds `createRoutes()` at module load. So by the time a
+// spike-time recompile carrying `replacements` is built through that shared map, `Session.node` is
+// already memoized WITH THE ORIGINAL COORDINATOR; the substituted layer is a different object, so it
+// publishes fresh at the top level while every already-memoized consumer keeps the original.
+// Building the same graph twice through one `Layer.makeMemoMapUnsafe()` — plain first, substituted
+// second — reproduces the spike's exact asymmetry: a direct call on build 2's published
+// `SessionClosure.Service` reaches the stub, and `Session.replacePart` does not. Not two instances;
+// one instance plus one stale memo hit.
+//
+// That reproduction is also the negative control for the test below. In the two-build configuration
+// `Session` genuinely held a DIFFERENT coordinator and the fenced `replacePart` SUCCEEDED — so this
+// instrument does discriminate, and its refusal is not a foregone conclusion.
+//
+// CARRIED TO GATE 4 AND NOW DISCHARGED THERE. `createRoutes(corsOptions?, replacements?)` has since
+// landed, so this is live code rather than a forecast: a substituted graph MUST NOT be served from a
+// shared memo map or the substitution is silently ignored for every already-built consumer.

+   * would leave every assertion above green while production ran exactly the pre-B2 stub semantics.
+   *
+   * That is §6.9's standing check turned on this slice's own work: before recording that the assembly
+   * is closed, ask what would have to be true for it to be falsifiable. The instrument is already in

+   * `integration.request` instead of `closure.request`.
+   *
+   * ASSERTED AS DEFINEDNESS, not by identity against the adapter services. §8.5 turns on ABSENT
+   * versus PRESENT, which is exactly what a stub-supplied graph gets wrong, and the adapters are
+   * resolved inside `run-state.ts`'s own `Effect.gen` where a test cannot hold the same references.

+     * actually makes G8-08 true is narrower and structural: the seam carries no CORE-FENCE or

+     * back, none of them a core mutator. Claim/cancel payloads do carry one frozen, fieldless
+     * fence-generation identity: together with the coordinator constructor dependency, it is an
+     * intentional bearer capability for exact LOCAL attachment cancellation. It has no methods,
+     * values, or core API that could release a core fence or write a closure record.
+     *
+     * BOTH DIRECTIONS ARE PINNED, and the outbound one is not redundant. G8-08 has two halves and

+     * while an outbound one would let it instruct core to do so — the same asymmetry that makes
+     * `participant_cancel` a receipt rather than evidence. `Exactly` is bidirectional so a key
+     * REMOVED is a compile error too, which keeps the guard honest when the surface shrinks rather
+     * than only when it grows.
+     *
+     * GUARD KIND: compile error. Adding `control`, `record`, `fence` or any other member to either
+     * type makes the annotated `true` unassignable to `false` and fails `tsgo --noEmit`. That is
+     * deliberate after this gate's D3 finding, where a source-SHAPE assertion guarding the same
+     * class of rule broke silently the moment the artifact it named changed.
+     *
+     * WHAT THIS GUARD REACHES, stated exactly, because "data in both directions" reads as a
+     * stronger claim than the key check makes. `ParticipantCall.payload` and
+     * `ParticipantResult.value` are typed `unknown` (`ports.ts`), so this proves the TOP-LEVEL
+     * channel shape - which members exist - and NOT recursively that every nested value is plain
+     * data. A capability smuggled inside `payload` would not fail this assertion.
+     *
+     * There is no live CORE-authority path, and the reason is a mechanism rather than an absence of
+     * imagination: core constructs the one opaque ref from its current fence generation; the
+     * consumer exactly parses `{ subject, ref }` and may use it only through the separately injected
+     * coordinator to cancel the exact local attachment Scope captured at claim. Unexpected nested
+     * members are inert — never invoked or reflected over. The bidirectional key guard closes the

+// WHY THE ASSERTIONS LOOK AT CORE REPLAY RATHER THAN AT DATABASE ROWS.
+//
+// The requirement is not merely "a fenced replay fails" — it is that "a fence refusal occurs before
+// projector SQL". That ordering is the whole point: `commitDurableEvent` runs every registered
+// projector inside ONE uninterruptible immediate transaction (event.ts:237, projectors at :320-322)
+// and before the event-store write, so by the time any projector has run, `db.delete(MessageTable)`
+// / `db.delete(PartTable)` / `db.delete(SessionTable)` have already committed together. There is no
+// "partway" state to observe and nothing to roll back from inside.
+//
+// The projectors are reachable ONLY through core `EventV2.replay`. So proving that core replay is
+// never entered proves the refusal beat the SQL, exactly and at its own boundary. Asserting on
+// surviving rows instead would prove the same thing more weakly and would require hand-maintaining
+// durable sequence numbers (`replay` dies unless seq === latest + 1, event.ts:295-302), which would
+// make the fixture, not the guard, the thing most likely to fail.
+//
+// Every negative below is paired with a positive control of identical shape, because "core replay
+// was not called" is also what a broken fixture that never calls anything would report.

+// `retireMutation` to the *coordinator*, but every test in the suite stubs them —
+// `Effect.die("unused")` in closure-admission and closure-permission-question, a scripted answer
+// in closure-mutation and prompt.test. The pure model's `mutation.reserve` is covered by
+// closure-authority-model; the coordinator wiring that reaches it is not covered anywhere. That
+// is the schema-without-wiring class: the decision could be correct in the model and never
+// consulted by the seam. These tests drive the REAL coordinator against a REAL fence.
+//
+// GAP 2 (second describe). `revert`, `unrevert`, and `cleanup` are leased but have no dedicated
+// tests; they were covered only by typecheck plus the shared `leased` helper's coverage through
+// `Session.remove`. `cleanup` is the highest-value of the three because it is the one that
+// actually deletes rows, and it runs on EVERY ordinary prompt.

+/**
+ * CP-023 §17.2 — the Task-claim / JobLifetime composition suite and its negative oracle.
+ *
+ * §18 Gate 8 step 7: "run the Task-claim / JobLifetime composition suite in §17.2, including its
+ * negative oracle, against the real participant." §17.2 conjunctively executes CP-021 TS-02 and
+ * TS-11 with CP-023 K115, K116 and K121.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS IS A HARNESS AND NOT `task.ts` DRIVEN END TO END. Every §17.2 item is a property of the
+ * ORDERING between CP-021's Task-local claim and CP-023's first core entry. `task.ts` reaches that
+ * ordering only through a provider/model turn, an agent resolution and a Session prompt, none of
+ * which participate in the property. §17.2 names its own subject a "harness configuration", so a
+ * harness is what it asks for. What makes the harness honest is that everything it composes is
+ * REAL — `AttachmentCoordinator.claim`/`awaitClaim`/`settleClaim`, the real `BackgroundJob`
+ * registry, the real `BackgroundJobBinder`, and the real `SessionClosure` behind it — and that
+ * `taskPrompt` below reproduces `task.ts`'s ordering statement for statement, with the divergences
+ * named at each site. The one thing a harness cannot pin by construction is that it still MIRRORS
+ * production, so the last row in this file pins that against `task.ts` source by symbol.
+ *
+ * THE MECHANISM, measured from source rather than assumed.
+ *
+ *   `AttachmentCoordinator.claim` (`coordinator.ts`, `const claim`) is an `Effect.sync`
+ *   check-and-set on the per-Instance registry. There is no suspension point between its read and
+ *   its write, so THAT is the linearization point: the first caller receives
+ *   `{owner: true, token, ready}` and every later caller receives `{owner: false, ready}` carrying
+ *   the owner's Deferred. `awaitClaim` returns `true` immediately to the owner and blocks a loser
+ *   on that Deferred. `settleClaim` is owner-only, uninterruptible, and deletes the registry entry
+ *   only on token IDENTITY — the same ABA-safe device `Lifetime.token` uses, so a late settle from
+ *   a superseded claim cannot evict a live one.
+ *
+ *   `task.ts` orders it: claim -> `awaitClaim` (a loser exits on `false`) -> core entry ->
+ *   `settleClaim(true)` on success, with `Effect.ensuring(settleClaim(false))` as the failure path.
+ *
+ * R-38 IS WHAT THIS SUITE EXISTS TO DETECT. CP-021 owns which Task PROMPT owns execution and
+ * terminal notification; CP-023 owns which BackgroundJob LIFETIME may arm, fork or cancel. They compose
+ * only if CP-021's Task-local claim linearizes first. Two stop conditions require CP-021 revision
+ * rather than a workaround: anything that moves Task-prompt ownership into `BackgroundJob.start()`,
+ * and anything that makes two Task prompts share one caller result.

+ *   1. `runTask`/`ops.prompt` is replaced by the row's own `run` effect. What the composition needs
+ *      from it is only that each prompt's run is DISTINGUISHABLE from the other's, which is exactly
+ *      what makes "the loser received the owner's execution" observable.
+ *   2. The observer continuation is replaced by recording the tag. Production gates it on
+ *      `parentScope.claimObserver(reservation)` returning `owner`, so that result IS the
+ *      delivery-ownership award; what follows it is injection, which needs a provider.
+ *   3. `TaskTool.attach` and `TaskTool.attachExtension` collapse into one `awardObserver`. They
+ *      differ only in which exact observation source they hand the one notifier, and both call the

+   *
+   *   "one token-wide physical terminal winner" — both sequences observe one terminal status on one
+   *   token.
+   *
+   *   "one terminal observer/wake owner" — CP-021's `claimObserver` returns `owner` to exactly one
+   *   prompt, and that result gates the one notifier in production.
+   *
+   * Core's separate exact-handle tests retain sequence identity and same-ID ABA protection; this

+   *
+   * A PARENT SCOPE IS REQUIRED HERE, unlike items 1, 2 and 5, because observer/notification ownership

+// CP-023 §7.7 / K107 and K108 — the RUNTIME half of the update-caller classification.
+//
+// K106 (`closure-update-inventory.test.ts`) proves the classification is complete and cannot rot.
+// It is a traceability check and says nothing about behaviour: a caller can be labelled
+// `pre_fence_leased_execution` and still write with no live lease. These tests exercise the labels.
+//
+// WHY THE CATEGORIES ARE TESTED SEPARATELY AND AT DIFFERENT BOUNDARIES. The four §7.7 categories
+// make four DIFFERENT claims, so one pipeline cannot state them. `pre_fence_leased_execution` is a
+// claim about lease liveness at write time; `proven_non_destructive_update` is a claim about the
+// write's SHAPE and holds with no lease at all; `cancellation_owned_terminalization` is a claim
+// about a conditional taken while cancellation owns the write (exercised in `prompt.test.ts`, which
+// owns the subtask harness); `exact_closure_capability` has no instances yet and is recorded below
+// as blocked rather than faked.

+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// K107 — `pre_fence_leased_execution`
+//
+// Thirteen registry entries carry this label and they do NOT all rest on the same fact. Two
+// distinct sub-claims are load-bearing and both are recorded as open questions the registry keys to
+// this slice:
+//
+//   (a) `processor.ts::cleanup` and `prompt.ts::finalizeInterruptedAssistant` write from BODY
+//       FINALIZERS. Their claim is that `admitted`'s retirement sits in an `ensuring` OUTSIDE the
+//       body, so a finalizer still runs under a live lease.
+//   (b) `processor.ts::completeToolCall`, `processor.ts::updateToolCall` and `tool/plan.ts::execute`
+//       write through the EffectBridge. Their claim was never established: `bridge.ts:54-65`
+//       captures and re-provides the Effect CONTEXT, and the registry records that a captured
+//       context is not proof the LEASE is live.
+//
+// These are asserted at `admitted`'s own boundary. Driving them through the processor would put a
+// second mechanism between the property and the assertion.
+//
+// GATE-4 RESOLUTION OF (b). The measurement below stood, and the conclusion drawn from it changed:
+// the three callers are no longer labelled `pre_fence_leased_execution` on their bridged paths at
+// all. They carry `bridged_context_admission`, a category that names the admission mechanism the
+// measurement actually proved — a captured context, not a live lease — and leaves each site's
+// SAFETY to its own evidence, because the three do not share one. The two `processor.ts` sites are
+// safe by a fresh-read status guard; `plan.ts::execute` is safe because it only ever writes freshly
+// minted `MessageID`/`PartID` coordinates and overwrites nothing.
+//
+// (b) IS ESTABLISHED BY COMPOSITION, not by a new fixture, and the composition is stated here so it
+// is auditable rather than implied:
+//   1. NO LEASE — the bridge test in this block measures it directly: the context survives and the
+//      lease does not, ordered `["retire", "bridged-call"]`.
+//   2. THE GUARD PRESERVES A RACE WINNER — established at the capability's own boundary by the
+//      `exact_closure_capability` block below, whose `preserved` cases prove that a fresh read
+//      followed by a conditional write leaves a terminal row's bytes untouched.
+//   3. THE GUARD IS ACTUALLY THERE — the one link that was prose, and the one this slice pins, in
+//      `bridged_context_admission` below.

+   *
+   * WHY THE FIX IS STORAGE RATHER THAN COMPARISON. `event.ts` creates `exactBindings` INSIDE each
+   * EventV2 layer, so a foreign token is refused by construction — `core/test/event-exact.test.ts`
+   * proves exactly that and this row is its ToolPart analogue. The first fix copied the brand and
+   * dropped the scoping. A string comparison of `Binding.instance` would only DETECT the crossing;
+   * per-Instance storage makes it unrepresentable, and that is the difference this row asserts.
+   *
+   * THE REFUSAL LANDS BEFORE THE READ, which is why this cannot pass for the wrong reason. `consume`
+   * is the first statement, so the foreign permit is rejected without `getPart` ever running — the

+   * `readFileSync(file).includes("SessionToolPartPermit.grant(")`, defeated by an aliased import.

+   * WHAT BOUNDS THE MINT NOW, and the first layer is not a detector at all:
+   *
+   *   1. THE INTERFACE. Minting lives on `SessionToolPartPermit.Issuer`, acquired only by the
+   *      coordinator. `closure/toolpart.ts` and `toolpart-closure.ts` acquire `Service`, whose
+   *      interface has NO allocator. The adapter cannot mint under any spelling — aliased, computed,
+   *      captured — because there is no member to reach. `permits.grant(...)` no longer typechecks
+   *      anywhere, which is why every fixture above had to move to `mintGrant`.
+   *   2. ACQUISITION. Holding either tag is still what confers reach, so the AST acquisition
+   *      inventory pins each tag to a disjoint file set and now REFUSES aliased imports rather than
+   *      matching the receiver by name — the form that made a namespace alias invisible.
+   *   3. CALL. Within that bounded surface `.mint(` is called exactly once, and the scanner refuses
+   *      computed dispatch and captured references instead of walking past them.
+   *
+   * Layers 2 and 3 are defence in depth. Layer 1 is the one that makes the property structural.

+// CP-023 §7.7 / K106 — the self-maintaining caller inventory for `Session.updateMessage` and
+// `Session.updatePart`.
+//
+// WHY THIS IS A SCANNER AND NOT A LIST. §7.7's classification of update callers was commit-message
+// prose. Prose cannot fail. A caller added at Gate 5 or 6 would simply not appear in anyone's
+// reasoning, and the classification would read as complete while being wrong. This module re-derives
+// the caller set from source on every run, so the registry it is diffed against cannot silently rot.
+//
+// WHY THE AST AND NOT A REGEX. The call forms differ across the codebase — `session.ts:845` calls
+// `updateMessage(...)` BARE (an in-file closure over the service) while other seams reach it through
+// a service handle. An inventory keyed on the qualified string `Session.updateMessage` would report
+// "all classified" while omitting the fork path entirely. Under-reporting is the one failure mode
+// that matters here, because three later gates will trust this result.
+//
+// SCOPE DECISION (deliberate, not incidental): production sources only, resolved by DIRECTORY.
+//   - `src/` is scanned because K106 exists to stop EXECUTION-CAPABLE mutation paths going
+//     unclassified. Test callers are fixtures; they cannot execute in production.
+//   - Including the 131 test call sites would bury 63 real ones and turn the registry into a
+//     rubber-stamped maintenance chore — the exact rot K106 is meant to prevent.
+//   - It is a directory walk rather than an enumerated file list SO THAT a production caller added
+//     later, in a file nobody anticipated, is caught rather than silently omitted.

+ * part-write entry point on the Session service, so a caller added later would otherwise be
+ * invisible to this inventory. Tracking it also keeps `handlers/session.ts::updatePart` a live
+ * classification unit — the route still appears here, now as a caller of the guarded method rather
+ * than as the place the guard lived.
+ *
+ * `updatePartDelta` is deliberately NOT tracked, and the reason is a fact rather than a judgement:
+ * it publishes `MessageV2.Event.PartDelta`, and `packages/core/src/session/projector.ts` has no
+ * projector for it at all. That file registers 34 events. The seven that write V1 rows are `Created`
+ * (:216), `Updated` (:236), `Deleted` (:260), `MessageUpdated` (:263), `MessageRemoved` (:277),
+ * `PartRemoved` (:296) and `PartUpdated` (:313); the remaining ~27 are `SessionEvent.*` routed to
+ * `SessionMessageTable` (V2), a different table family that holds no V1 Part evidence. With no
+ * projector there is no SQL and no durable row change, so `PartDelta` cannot delete, replace,
+ * reorder, or alter the identity of anything a fence protects. That fact is pinned by its own
+ * source-guard in `closure-update-authority.test.ts`, because tracking callers here would not catch
+ * the change that would actually matter — someone ADDING a PartDelta projector.

+ *
+ * WHY THIS EXISTS WHEN THERE IS NO DEFECT. `EventV2.Service` is acquired in exactly one place today
+ * and every production replay site is lexically inside `SessionMutation.replayLeased`, so the rule
+ * holds — by CONVENTION. Nothing stopped a new module from acquiring the raw tag and replaying
+ * around `SessionReplayPermit`, and §7.7 calls that "forbidden" rather than "discouraged". A rule
+ * enforced by nobody is a rule that survives exactly until the next author who has not read it.
+ * This converts it into construction, using the walker and AST idiom `scan` already established.
+ *
+ * THREE FORMS, because a text search catches only the first and the other two are the realistic
+ * evasions rather than hypothetical ones:
+ *
+ *   - `qualified` — `EventV2.Service`, the ordinary spelling.
+ *   - `imported` — `import { Service } from "@opencode-ai/core/event"`, then a bare `Service`. This
+ *     is invisible to a search for "EventV2.Service" and is the shape an auto-import produces.
+ *   - `computed` — `EventV2["Service"]`. Statically readable here, but it signals a pattern that
+ *     could just as easily be a non-literal key, so it is reported rather than quietly accepted —
+ *     the same refusal `scan` applies to computed dispatch.
+ *
+ * It deliberately reports the ACQUISITION rather than the replay call. Holding the raw service is
+ * what confers the ability to bypass the permit; where the call then happens is unbounded, which is
+ * the same reason `scan` refuses an aliased reference instead of trying to follow it.

+// caller fails, and a registered entry with no matching caller also fails. That second direction
+// matters as much as the first: a stale entry is how a registry starts describing code that no
+// longer exists and quietly loses authority.
+//
+// TAXONOMY NOTE. §7.3:1112's generic footprint vocabulary is "guarded, read-only, non-conversational
+// residual, or explicitly out of scope with source evidence". §7.7:1365 specifies a DIFFERENT and
+// narrower taxonomy for these callers specifically, and K107 names four of its five members
+// verbatim. §7.7's is therefore primary here, because it is the vocabulary K107 must consume;

Its two callers — `prompt.ts::handleSubtaskAdmitted`'s `onInterrupt` and `processor.ts::cleanup` — are finalizers running in the SAME fiber as the body they finalize, ending Parts that body created; cancellation of their own execution is what owns the write, which is §7.7's second authority verbatim. It requires no closure permit and must not: demanding one would make an ordinary interrupt depend on a canonical closure operation that does not exist on that path. Reach is still narrow — one `{session, message, part}` coordinate, a FRESH `getPart` rather than a caller-held Part, a write only while the authoritative read shows `pending`/`running`, `preserved` with no write on a race winner (I-11, K11, K12), and `unavailable` on a missing or non-tool row (K44) — and the terminal payload stays the caller's because `prompt.ts` and `processor.ts` write different documented bytes that `cli/cmd/run/subagent-data.ts:301` branches on. The granted surface is `Pick<Session.Interface, getPart | updatePart>`, so this carries neither an `AdmissionContext` nor a `MutationLease`. Read-then-conditional-write is safe from both callers precisely because of the same-fiber finalizer property; the cross-fiber case is `terminalizePermitted`'s and is post-proof.",

Both are `unique symbol` brands whose authority lives in module-private WeakMaps, so an object literal, a structural copy, a JSON round-trip, or a token from another process is refused — §7.5's 'unforgeable in-process object/brand', not a copyable namespace. The function takes NO coordinate argument: it reads the Session/Message/Part triple and the single permitted `active_to_terminal` transition out of the permit, so one authority reaches exactly one row. An unrecognized permit is a DEFECT (`Effect.die`), on `replay-permit.ts`'s reasoning; the honest degraded answer lives upstream, where `closure/toolpart.ts` reports `unknown` if a permit cannot be issued. The write is deliberately NOT factored with `terminalizeExact`'s: K106 attributes each `updatePart` call to its enclosing symbol, so one shared writer would collapse both authorities into one entry. Cross-fiber safety is §8.4's ordering — the driver calls this only after the fixed point proves no affected Session has a busy Runner, active shell, or live job.",

Production invocation is always through `SessionTools` (`session/tools.ts:105-115`, `const result = yield* item.execute(args, ctx)`), whose bridge captures and re-provides the full Effect context (`effect/bridge.ts:54-65`); that context originates inside the `SessionAdmission.admitted` body at `run-state.ts:137-145` but is re-provided onto a new root fiber, making it a description of a lease rather than a hold on one. SAFETY IS NOT A STATUS GUARD HERE, which is precisely why the category names the admission mechanism rather than one guard: this writes only FRESHLY MINTED coordinates — `MessageID.ascending()` at `:54` and `PartID.ascending()` at `:63` — so it overwrites no existing row and cannot destroy a race winner. Its exposure also differs from `completeToolCall`: the writes happen while the Question continuation resolves rather than at abort time, so the enclosing loop is normally still live.

+/**
+ * REGRESSION GUARD: A FINISHED CHILD IS RESUMABLE IMMEDIATELY, WHATEVER DELIVERY IS DOING.
+ *
+ * THE RULE. The only thing that may decide whether a `Task(task_id=...)` resume is admitted is
+ * whether that child sub-agent is currently ACTIVE. Not whether its result reached the parent.
+ * Nothing about the caller. `task_id` resume IS the recovery path for when delivery goes wrong, so
+ * it has to work precisely when delivery has failed, stalled, or been interrupted — the states that
+ * used to hold the child unresumable.
+ *
+ * WHAT THIS FILE PROTECTS. The child's entry in the attachment coordinator is what makes
+ * `attachments.open()` exclusive, so the entry's lifetime must equal the child's lifetime. The
+ * entry is opened before `startExact` and so outlives the child's run; releasing it from an
+ * `Effect.ensuring` bound to the whole observation is what created the window. The observation's
+ * delivery step is `inject(...)`, a prompt into the PARENT, and a prompt into a running session
+ * joins that run and returns only when the run ENDS (`prompt` reaches
+ * `SessionRunState.ensureRunning`, which awaits the active run's `done`). A finished child
+ * therefore stayed registered for the length of an entire parent run, and every resume inside that
+ * window died with "Attachment scope already open for session <child>" from the coordinator's
+ * exclusive open, surfaced as a hard tool error by `Effect.orDie` at the tool boundary. Observed in
+ * practice: three such failures against one child, two of them inside a single six-minute parent
+ * run, several assistant messages apart.
+ *
+ * THE FIX these tests guard lives in `attachObservation`: the release is bound to the child's
+ * LIFETIME on its own fiber, so no delivery state can gate it.
+ *
+ * THE TRAP FOR A FUTURE EDIT — do not "simplify" this by moving the release back into the delivery
+ * path. Releasing at a later point *inside* `observe` looks equivalent and is not: the ordinary
+ * route injects each filed answer before it ever reaches its terminal branch, and `waitAnswer`
+ * reports an answer with NO terminal info, so the observer is already parked in the parent before
+ * it can learn the child is done. That placement was tried during this fix and left the bug fully
+ * intact.
+ *
+ * WHY THE REST OF THE SUITE DOES NOT COVER THIS. "M4" in `task-attachment.test.ts` fences every
+ * continuation acquisition, so no observer installs and the no-observer exit releases the entry at
+ * once. M4's resume therefore succeeds for a reason that says nothing about the observed path.
+ * These tests remove the fence and park the parent instead.

+   *
