Scope

Partial repair of previously identified release, installation, conversation and usage collector defects.

• Include Manager discovery and canary baseline in wheel and sdist; verify isolated installed behavior.
• Gate desktop publication on Windows-native tests; pin build identity to the event revision. Make the test feed wait for complete requests on Windows.
• Make the desktop readiness test server read the complete expected request before responding, including on inherited nonblocking sockets.
• Resume signed updater uploads after a partial failure; verify tag, existing bytes and final assets before advancing the channel.
• Resume standard desktop release uploads without replacing different bytes. Keep explicit manual republishing, but stop if backup or manifest inventory fails.
• Include new update notes in the review patch.
• Enforce the KunlunCode MCP version pin under optimized Python.
• Recover safely from ambiguous KunlunCode install timeouts with configuration readback and a private backup of the previous reconstructable entry.
• Separate the Goal named manager from the workspace Manager for drafts, session recovery, messages, interruption and LoopX activation. Preserve ambiguous legacy drafts under their existing key.
• Validate managed Goal result pages and selected result details against the same identity and type contract before display.
• Validate core Chat history fields and key display metadata in paged, resumed and legacy reads. Reject duplicate IDs within one Session, and verify direct Session identity without rewriting saved history.
• Validate team execution inventory pages and selected readbacks, including operation identity and nested display fields, before presenting evidence. Preserve retry and adoption reconciliation.
• Reject invalid UTF-8 before JSON parsing.
• Use an indexed date range for current-month usage breakdowns.

Verification

• Windows reader compatibility follow-up: trying the PowerShell parser first and falling back to POSIX is unsafe. A legacy POSIX-rendered value containing two consecutive U+201A quotes was accepted by that parser but decoded to one quote. A revised local candidate distinguished the tested producer forms using the quoted versus unquoted quota and context-read tokens, retained the existing pagination/identity assertions, and used the existing command_argv helper for a .ps1 launcher. Across the two relevant base revisions it passed 5,000 generated argument vectors per revision in both producer formats and eight six-page synthetic subprocess runs with mixed page formats; changed capture identity and five malformed expressions were rejected. The .ps1 route used a synthetic local pwsh shim, not PowerShell or Windows. Microsoft's pwsh documentation describes the File form. The exact failed CI argv was not logged, the candidate is not committed, and native Windows validation remains required.

• Main 859a23e preflight: the merge base is 0dfaf72. Complete GitHub inventories contain 36 branch paths and 230 main paths, with five overlaps. Each overlap merged without text conflicts using in-memory git merge-file. A static YAML check retained all 20 main jobs, their job controls, and all existing step and nonblank run lines; five added run lines invoke smokes. The dashboard package retained all 87 main scripts and dependency sections, with three scripts added. Negative controls detected a removed job, a changed job control and removed run content. All 22 PR commits have Signed-off-by trailers. This is a file-level and static check, not a full-tree merge, runtime workflow execution or CI result.

• Correction and controlled browser A/B: the later retry failure described below came from the diagnostic Python import loader lacking get_code; it was not established as a product failure. After fixing the loader, both variants used the same failed-CI merge source overlays and synthetic backend. The original proxy again failed after requesting accepted-analysis while the backend returned failure-1. The candidate forwarded the real operations inventory and the unchanged request body; all original browser smoke assertions passed, including worker-active protection, lost-response recovery and one Host invocation. The audit verified the loaded modified Python source hashes, including chat_store and collaboration_mcp. This used real Chromium and an in-memory Vite build with an adapted asset server in a loopback-only, temporary-write sandbox. It is not a complete CI checkout or packaged CI result; the candidate is not committed.

• Subsequent CI-source overlay check: the same browser A/B used 37 changed Python and 13 changed TypeScript files from the failed merge when imported; the loaded Python source hashes were audited. The original proxy again failed at the operation-ID mismatch. The candidate passed that point, but the synthetic fixture later failed its existing lost-response assertion because the retry returned a status other than committed. This differs from the older-backend pass below. At that point the precise retry result was under investigation; see the correction above. That overlay run was not a packaged CI run and did not prove the candidate complete.

• Browser A/B for the team-task-revalidation failure: a Vite in-memory build used the PR dashboard source, which matches the failed CI merge on those dashboard files. With real Chromium 145.0.7632.6 and the synthetic backend from the older 8782182 checkout, the original proxy failed after requesting accepted-analysis and receiving the failure-1 operation. A local candidate forwarded the real operations inventory and preserved the request body for operations, read and revalidate; every original smoke assertion then passed, including active-worker protection, lost-response recovery and a single Host invocation. The build used an adapted in-memory asset server and a loopback-only, temporary-write sandbox. It does not establish packaged CI or exact CI-backend behavior, and no candidate source is committed.

• Chat bundle browser shard 2 failed in team-task-revalidation: the log shows the UI requesting accepted-analysis, while the test proxy rewrites that request to failure-1. The new readback identity check rejects a response for a different operation. In an isolated loopback-only diagnostic using the real synthetic backend from an older checkout and the exact PR validator, the backend returned failure-1, its inventory contained failure-1, both schemas passed, and the detail passed only when checked against that same ID. This supports a fixture identity mismatch; the CI response body was not logged and the full browser fix has not been run. A candidate repair is to use the real inventory and forward the same operation ID, while retaining the identity check and all recovery assertions. The later checks aggregate also failed after dependent coverage and browser jobs failed or were skipped; it is not an additional root failure.

• Local D1 and retention follow-up: schema.sql and the migration files match main 859a23e, and the tested purge and date-shift functions are byte-identical to main 97fb254. Wrangler 4.162.0 with an isolated local database initialized from schema.sql had no migration ledger; all five migrations were listed as unapplied and applying them failed at duplicate column arch. The synthetic row remained unchanged and the ledger recorded zero applied migrations. In a second disposable local D1 database, the historical v0 schema from a5546af followed by migrations 0001–0005 completed, recorded all five names, preserved a synthetic v0 row, and matched the current schema on 45 column records and three named index records. A staged local D1 run applied the same migrations in order across v0, v1 and v2. A synthetic ping, a v1 usage count of 12 and a v2 Goal count of 8 survived; migration 0003 created the expected host_call count of 8. A repeated migrations apply left those rows and all five migration ledger entries unchanged. An independent in-memory SQLite check also found that skipping only the duplicate column still encounters an existing usage_counts table. These checks do not inspect or migrate a remote database, and the column/index comparison is not a complete production equivalence proof. For new databases, the v0 bootstrap plus ordered migrations is a viable candidate once formalized and reviewed. Existing schema-initialized databases need backup, schema and ledger inspection, and an owner-approved baseline; do not mark migrations applied solely from this test. The actual purge retained the day-400 ping and day-30 rows in four aggregate tables, but removed the day-30 installation profile; thus complete daily data can span 401, 31 and 30 UTC dates respectively. The documented age-versus-calendar-day meaning remains a policy decision. Keep the current deletion boundary until the owner decides; an inclusive-day change would delete an additional date bucket. Cloudflare's migration documentation describes the applied-migration ledger.

• TypeScript core shard 2 failed one static ownership test: native_child_result_inbox.ts contains a second enveloped SHA-256 matcher. The job reported 2,212 passed, one failed and 14 skipped. All 411 LoopX TypeScript files and the guard test in this PR test merge match its main parent; the offending file and guard also match main 97fb254. A virtual-source reproduction of the existing guard found the same offender on both the test merge and current main. An in-memory candidate using the existing ENVELOPED_SHA256_PATTERN and adding the consumer to the pinned list passed four extracted guard callbacks; 9,606 sampled strings gave the same old and new matcher results. No source change is committed, and this local model does not replace the full test suite or CI.

• Dashboard browser shard 3 failed at the 200-item expansion assertion with 184 visible items, the same symptom as PR #8737. The same scenario passed on PR #8733 with 200 items and a 771 ms uninstrumented expansion. The scenario, key fixture and work-board sources and lockfiles match, and the jobs used Node 22.22.3 and Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34. The product trees and runners differ, so this comparison does not establish cause.

• Main follow-up at dd53ca5: the five paths also changed since main baaf657 merge without text conflicts in an in-memory three-way check. For python-tests.yml, a static YAML comparison found no removed or reordered main jobs, steps or existing run lines, and no changes to the checked job, step or workflow controls. Five PR run lines are added. This is not a full-tree merge or an integrated CI run.

• CI queue snapshot (2026-11-14 around 09:36 UTC): each of the six Python test shards was pending behind 26 entries in its repository-wide concurrency group, including one running shard from this main run. The GitHub concurrency API was queried for each job, including shard 1. Queue positions can change and are not an estimated completion time. This snapshot does not establish the result of other checks.

• The current Windows PowerShell CI job failed in the base arm of the CLI output differential with WinError 2. This matches the failure signature in cleanup PR #8737; both PR heads use byte-identical CLI fixture helpers. The CI log did not print the attempted argv, so the PowerShell-versus-shlex parsing explanation remains an inference. The separately reported native desktop Windows test passed; it is a different job.

• Local collection-only shard check: the selected pytest files, shared conftest and pytest configuration match this PR head. With Python 3.13.12 and pytest-split 0.11, the full collection had 825 IDs; two least-duration groups contained 413 and 412 IDs, with no duplicates, omissions or extra IDs. The collection used an older product checkout and controlled temporary SDK dependencies; no tests were executed. This is not exact-head CI proof, a timing measurement, or evidence for Python 3.11. Any future CI split must verify full collection parity at the tested revision and retain every test, lint step and required gate.

• The separately dispatched main comparison at bd2718a has finished. Python 3.11 was canceled after pytest output reached 96%, and its lint step was skipped. Python 3.13 passed 825 tests in 519.93 seconds and passed lint. Both used the unchanged 10-minute workflow limit. This reproduces the Python 3.11 cancellation on main; the different revisions and runners do not isolate the PR's effect on timing.

• Final status of Optional Ark attempt 2: both Python 3.11 and 3.13 were canceled at the unchanged 10-minute job limit after pytest output reached 96%; both lint steps were skipped. This supersedes the earlier in-progress note. For context, the same pytest command passed 825 tests in 421.60 seconds on another PR. The runs use different revisions and runners, so their timings do not establish the cause. The separately dispatched main baseline is still queued.

• Update to the earlier queued status: Optional Ark CI attempt 2 on Python 3.13 was canceled at the unchanged 10-minute job limit after the pytest output reached 96%; the following lint step was skipped. Python 3.11 remains in progress. The same existing workflow was dispatched on main at bd2718a485c86fe4f0ad4d1356fe9aeeccfed1ba as an independent comparison (main run); its jobs are queued. This comparison is not the same-base A/B and cannot alone establish causality.

• Latest-main follow-up (2026-11-14): main at f17ce83544f8b0420b6cb13dfdd086ca23cf6646 changed four files also touched by this PR since the earlier comparison at baaf657e5df6b779be1401d143af6aa5970454ef. An in-memory three-way merge of those four files found no text conflicts; this is not a whole-tree merge check. A separate Node 26 check extracted and transpiled functions from the merged chat.ts (SHA-256 5ebaf7518c2382fc47410d3ac099fc7a3b6b1a339c18b5dcb27757f96fefe4d2). With real requestJson and mocked fetch, five checks passed: scoped paged turn and identity, linked image, malformed image field, wrong turn identity, and duplicate page identity. This limited check does not replace a combined-tree typecheck or browser run. The current CI test merge has parent 87a736bd4a9234096b68697d108a5bb5ed1af8ce, so its results do not test this newer main.

• Optional Ark CI, attempt 1 hit its existing 10-minute job limit. Python 3.11 completed 825 tests successfully before cancellation prevented the lint step; Python 3.13 reached 96% with no failure reported before cancellation. Both jobs were rerun without changing the timeout or tests; attempt 2 is queued.

• Follow-up comparison: PR head 657de032cb09570b478cd0e655b2598779bba68f and main baaf657e5df6b779be1401d143af6aa5970454ef have a clean local merge-tree. All 15 main workflow lines invoking npm/node/python smokes remain; the merged tree has 20 such lines. The Windows native job on Fix release recovery and runtime compatibility #8703 head 657de032 passed; other CI remains independently reported.

• On 657de032cb09570b478cd0e655b2598779bba68f, macOS validate passed: 199 Rust tests passed, 12 ignored, including the original readiness test and the new nonblocking regression; Clippy passed. The Windows native desktop tests also passed. Other CI jobs remain queued.

• The packaged team-plan browser scenario also passed at the current head.

• At 657de032cb09570b478cd0e655b2598779bba68f, the complete premerge gate passed against main 87a736bd4: 10 catalog checks, 8 risk checks and the public-boundary check.

• At 657de032cb09570b478cd0e655b2598779bba68f, Rust formatting passed. A real loopback TCP regression, compiled from the modified fixture and test, failed with the original single-read behavior and passed 20/20 after the change with inherited nonblocking simulated on Linux. Local full Cargo/Tauri validation is unavailable because GTK development libraries are absent; native CI is reported above.

• On d07df2cf7e3a57831807b7790d6f97205f81593c, macOS validate failed once at the unchanged readiness fixture (197 passed, 1 failed, 12 ignored). Earlier macOS validate passed on 4a8aa9c9af6ec84b4d89babf93061622b1929624; desktop code was identical at these heads. The observed fixture race is a plausible cause, not a proven explanation of that failure. The original failed run remains recorded.

• At d07df2cf7e3a57831807b7790d6f97205f81593c, the Chat bundle, dashboard TypeScript check and smoke:team-report passed. Packaged team-evidence-return, team-evidence and loopx-mode browser scenarios passed. A real isolated HTTP/SQLite adoption fixture passed, including lost acknowledgement and reconciliation without redispatch. Malformed inventory flags and mismatched operation IDs were reproduced in the browser before the fixes.

• At d07df2cf7e3a57831807b7790d6f97205f81593c, the complete premerge gate passed against main af9b668ff: 10 catalog checks, 8 risk checks and the public-boundary check. The gate was run with an isolated Python 3.11 uv test environment.

• Additional exact-head packaged team checks passed for feedback retry, source-chain withdrawal/recovery and result-use recovery. The latter two used isolated real HTTP/SQLite fixtures; no work was redispatched.

• The native Windows desktop test passed at 4a8aa9c9af6ec84b4d89babf93061622b1929624; later native checks are reported above.

• At 4a8aa9c9af6ec84b4d89babf93061622b1929624, the Chat bundle and strict TypeScript smoke checks passed. Real HTTP/store history and bound-session smokes passed, including malformed fields, duplicate IDs, interrupted suffix recovery and unchanged source files. The packaged browser check passed in English and Chinese for five malformed fields, retaining the current message and recovering after retry.

• At 4a8aa9c9af6ec84b4d89babf93061622b1929624, the project premerge gate passed 10 catalog, 8 risk-profile and 1 public-boundary checks against the latest fetched main.

• At 5c18b37867a6d235d01c473bd1f9efbac0044563, 37 desktop/update tests and 35 subtests passed with isolated fake GitHub state; no release was published. An isolated uv Python 3.11 environment with pytest 9.2 passed 92 Chat tests and the bound-session CI command.

• The local packaged chat-recovery scenario timed out twice at its unchanged networkidle wait across candidate revisions; eight candidate runs also passed, including seven after the last timeout with temporary diagnostics. Four runs with the previous 2dd76077cb4a6c5e22a6c7d59598277b86fe3dd3 Chat source passed. A synthetic normal-history run logged no message-validation rejection. The intermittent cause remains unverified.

• Local uv Python 3.13 could not initialize OpenSSL under this host's configuration; the same test and default SSL context passed in the isolated Python 3.11 environment without changing host settings.

• The candidate includes main 0dfaf72549687b3d4b26f6cfdbaa3d134fa78c3d through merge 5c18b37867a6d235d01c473bd1f9efbac0044563. At an earlier comparison, main 87a736bd4 had no overlapping PR files and the projected merge was clean; new-head CI is pending.

• At 5374ba9124f19d62f00bf5de73bea21684c58fc8, a regression using the actual Rust feed server reproduces the premature reply when inherited non-blocking mode is simulated on Linux; with the accepted connection set to blocking, fragmented headers and a missing route pass. The simulated Windows-mode test passed 10 repeated runs. The native Windows test passed at 5374ba9124f19d62f00bf5de73bea21684c58fc8; the same native Windows test also passed at merge commit 2dd76077cb4a6c5e22a6c7d59598277b86fe3dd3. rustfmt --check and standalone Rust compilation with -D warnings passed. The signature, installer and service-recovery assertions are unchanged.

• At 13e8bb85f559dd5ebca3e238ea294793c8d345a8, the additional control-plane noUnusedLocals and noUnusedParameters check failed with the same 40 diagnostics as at 8b6a224555723eb4a79f3eb499c77ccdab5c1017; the diagnostic output is byte-identical. Cleanup is tracked separately in draft PR #8737, which removes 25 unused imports and leaves 15 extra-check diagnostics for further review.

• At 13e8bb85f559dd5ebca3e238ea294793c8d345a8, malformed managed-result pages and mismatched details were reproduced before the fix and rejected after it. The new schema smoke, packaged managed-goal-results and team-plan browser scenarios, and dashboard Chat bundle build passed. Backend result tests passed: 28 tests.

• At 38781ba14b227f0150b49ee661b8c6255150f31b, the packaged browser regression passed for Manager and same-named Goal drafts, sends, reload, interrupt and LoopX start routing. The fake LoopX boundary rejects the start; no live work was started. Existing packaged composer admission, bound-conversation HTTP/SQLite, chat-route and conversation-input tests passed. npm run build:chat passed with dashboard TypeScript checking. The new browser and key tests are added to CI.

• At f67ad4aa19391781fb3ab8e557e158073686e89a, KunlunCode tests: 73 passed, including real subprocess timeout fixtures, backup permissions and checkout/version verification. Targeted Ruff, complexity and public-boundary checks passed. The provider binary and Windows backup ACL were not exercised. Focused mypy reports the same three errors as the prior head.

• At 8b6a224555723eb4a79f3eb499c77ccdab5c1017, npm run typecheck:control-plane passed; enabling both noUnused checks reports 40 diagnostics. The control-plane typecheck inputs remain unchanged at this head.

• At 8b6a224555723eb4a79f3eb499c77ccdab5c1017, loopx canary premerge --from-git-diff --git-diff-base origin/main passed 10 canaries and one public-boundary check. Its scan also included a generated, untracked uv.lock, which is not part of the PR. This evidence predates the current head.

• At 8b6a224555723eb4a79f3eb499c77ccdab5c1017, desktop tests: 45 passed and 35 subtests passed. Release and updater workflow steps ran repeatedly against isolated fake GitHub state, including partial uploads, conflicting assets, failed reads and final byte comparisons. The desktop release preflight smoke passed nine semantic cases; workflow YAML and shell syntax passed. No release was published.

• At bb3dc2def0e1b3dede6a023cd2bd4156fc730837, desktop tests: 36 passed and 19 subtests passed. The real workflow shell ran against an isolated fake GitHub boundary, including partial upload, repeat, conflicts, failed readback and pointer recovery. YAML parsing and bash -n passed. No release was published.

• The following earlier results apply to 8782182bcada2b723d8fa5539947114cbb711630 or earlier; they have not been rerun on the current head.

• Usage collector tests: 23 passed, including real SQLite and HTTP cases.

• Previous targeted Python tests: 62 passed and 13 subtests passed; related release and Manager tests: 37 passed.

• Direct wheel and sdist-built wheel: isolated Manager discovery and baseline read passed.

• TypeScript control-plane typecheck passed. Python Ruff for the project required scope passed.

• loopx canary premerge --from-git-diff --git-diff-base origin/main: passed on the earlier head, 10 canaries.

• A local SQLite dataset of 100,000 ping rows produced identical full buildStats results. Eight warm samples: median 251.02 ms before and 104.35 ms after. The plan changes from scanning pings_install to a bounded search on the day primary key. This does not establish Cloudflare D1 latency.

• On the previous head 13e8bb85f559dd5ebca3e238ea294793c8d345a8, the Windows updater test failed while reading its loopback feed (UnexpectedMessage). The same test failed on an earlier head. The native Windows test passed on 5374ba9124f19d62f00bf5de73bea21684c58fc8; 2dd76077cb4a6c5e22a6c7d59598277b86fe3dd3 also passed its native Windows rerun. The macOS and Windows desktop artifact jobs passed. The extra noUnused check reported 40 errors on the previously tested head; cleanup is tracked separately.

Remaining work

The workflow conflict with main is resolved in 2dd76077cb4a6c5e22a6c7d59598277b86fe3dd3, preserving all four relevant smoke commands. The merged tree passed Chat build, control-plane typecheck, 19 completed-Todo tests, and both affected packaged browser smokes. At 2dd76077cb4a6c5e22a6c7d59598277b86fe3dd3, native Windows and all three browser partitions passed; checks for the new head remain pending.

Draft: native KunlunCode and Windows backup permission verification, concurrent external MCP writers, historical desktop-run recovery, intentional manual full-republish policy, schema migration, historical ambiguous draft ownership, other paged or expanded result boundaries, and retention policy remain unresolved or unverified. Cleanup is tracked in draft PR #8737. Existing historical workflows do not gain the new recovery behavior automatically. The previous head had one optional Ark Python 3.13 job canceled at its 10-minute limit. Frontstage Pages failed on the same README catalog assertion in both the previous PR run and an earlier main run; main subsequently included the fix in PR #8705. Explore timeline performance is tracked separately in draft PR #8733. Other current-head CI jobs are pending. No live data migration or release publication is included.

Main-branch digest guard follow-up (2026-11-14)

On main 45cfd0c86d8f24d630ab66ad7f76784faa21c3f6, native_child_result_inbox.ts restates the shared enveloped SHA-256 matcher. The current TypeScript single-owner guard rejects that duplicate. A separate candidate uses ENVELOPED_SHA256_PATTERN and adds the inbox module to the existing pinned consumer list.

In an isolated Linux Node 26.12.1 run, the original main snapshot passed 16/17 digest-guard tests; the candidate passed 17/17. The existing inbox behavior tests passed 8/8 both before and after. The only changed guard result was the duplicate-matcher failure. The run used an in-memory overlay of 413 TypeScript source files, two test files, and package.json, verified against main Git blob hashes; writes were confined to temporary storage and networking was isolated. This is not a clean checkout or CI run.

The candidate is not committed or included in this PR. It needs an independent commit and PR after the managed worktree is bound, followed by normal type checks and CI.

Dashboard-browser local reproduction (2026-11-14)

The PR #8703 dashboard shard 3 job reported 184 visible work items instead of 200. In one local run of the original goal-workspace-m2 scenario, the 200-item expansion assertion passed in 953 ms. That run then failed a different existing performance gate: one median of three loaded-lens transitions was 1,028 ms against the 1,000 ms limit; the maximum individual sample was 1,081 ms. The uninstrumented qualification failed, so the original test did not run its coverage pass. No acceptance threshold was changed.

The run used Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34, matching CI, on OpenCloudOS with Node 26.12.1. It used the original scenario and fixture, a local Vite development server, and an in-memory overlay of the ten PR dashboard source files; those sources match the failed CI merge 2fe7226cb2a83d0ab3dae224618670437cb7129c. The remaining files came from an older local checkout, and the host differs from CI. This single run does not establish the cause of the 184-item CI result or its relationship to the PR.

CI artifact replay of team revalidation (2026-11-14)

The exact chat bundle downloaded by the failing CI job has SHA-256 bf38a4e0ecf70e342ab897e6e2bb698da8485d814af026ab04a8e2a49eaa9bc0. With that artifact and Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34, the original smoke reproduced the failure: the browser requested accepted-analysis, the proxy returned failure-1, and the original recovery button did not appear.

A local candidate forwarded the backend operation inventory and passed the original request body through for operations, read, and revalidate. With the same bundle and backend fixture, all original browser assertions passed, including active-worker protection, rejection before repair, recovery after a lost response, and one Host invocation. The candidate exists only in memory; it is not committed.

Both runs used the unchanged CI smoke and synthetic Python fixture as their base, 50 SHA-verified CI source overlays, and a custom in-memory asset server. Nineteen changed Python modules were loaded and hash-audited, including chat_store.py and collaboration_mcp.py. Network access was loopback-only and writes were limited to temporary storage. Local Node 26 and OpenCloudOS differ from CI, and the asset server and import overlays are not a complete CI checkout. Normal CI remains required.

Main 8d7d234c6f55fa45fa5db0ad5a156dcaaf726d32 still has the original proxy. PR #8732 also changes this smoke file to add diagnostics and an assertion; its additions must be preserved when integrating the proxy repair.

Real PowerShell reader validation (2026-11-14)

The failed Windows runner image lists PowerShell 7.6.9. A local Linux test used that PowerShell version from the official release, verified against the release SHA-256 manifest.

For each of the two affected base revisions, 1,002 PowerShell-rendered argument vectors matched the real PowerShell parser and the candidate reader; 1,002 legacy POSIX-rendered vectors also round-tripped. The cases include apostrophes, smart quotes, Unicode, spaces and shell metacharacters. Four synthetic .ps1 paging runs completed six pages each, and identity tampering and five unsafe commands were rejected.

A separate test used the actual LoopX loopx.ps1 and loopx_entry.py scripts from an older checkout; both scripts match base 87a736bd. The original reader reproduced a missing executable for the PowerShell call operator. The candidate used real PowerShell to read a 1,193-byte synthetic capture through five real LoopX pages, reproducing the original bytes without creating a registry. When the capture was changed after page one, the next read failed without returning partial content or a continuation command. The test restored its temporary capture.

These runs were isolated to loopback-only networking and temporary writes. They do not prove which executable was missing in CI: its argv was not logged. The candidate is not committed, the checkout is not the full CI merge, and native Windows CI remains required.

Upstream overlap and current-main audit (2026-11-14)

PR #8758 already contains the same native-child digest-owner repair proposed above. Reversing its import and matcher replacement reproduced main's file exactly; reversing its pinned-consumer addition reproduced the guard exactly. It also fixes a Python digest owner. Do not open a duplicate digest PR; #8758 has other failing and pending checks.

The proxy candidate has a textual conflict with #8732 and #8266. A virtual combination retained #8732's new response diagnostics and accepted-status assertion, included its backend change, and removed the now-unused local selector. With the verified CI chat bundle and matching Chrome 151, the original proxy failed at the same readback; the combined candidate passed all smoke assertions. The backend was an in-memory three-way combination of the CI source and #8732, and the asset server and source overlays were local. This does not qualify #8266's different backend or replace CI. No candidate source is committed.

A read-only tree comparison used main 8d7d234 and each PR's actual base and merge base. It checked every path changed on both sides with an in-memory three-way merge. This is not a full checkout, build or CI run.
For #8703, 36 PR paths and 240 main paths changed from merge base 0dfaf72; all five overlapping paths merged cleanly in memory. The merged workflow retained all 20 main jobs, their step metadata, and 186 existing run lines; the dashboard package retained every main script.

Python lint audit (2026-11-14)

On main 4604f93, Ruff 0.15.22 checked all 3,911 tracked Python files individually via stdin. The 2,071 files in the previously used project scope had zero diagnostics. The additional all-tracked scan reported 132 diagnostics outside that scope. All source blobs were checked against their Git hashes, and known F401/F821 inputs verified that stdin and direct-file checks agree. This is a per-file source audit, not a full-checkout Ruff run.

The eight Python files changed by #8703 reported zero Ruff diagnostics when checked at this head. Their merge-base versions match main, including absent new files. No Python source was changed by this audit.

Dashboard expansion stress diagnostic (2026-11-14)

A local instrumented replay used the CI scenario and fixture, ten overlaid PR dashboard source files, Node 26.12.1 and Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34. Each run used synthetic data and throttled the browser CPU only during expansion. The in-memory diagnostic kept the original 200-item and two-second assertions, recorded each count and disclosure state, and deliberately stopped after expansion; it is not a complete test pass.

One 1x run reached 200 visible tasks. At 2x, all 200 were visible but the instrumented expansion exceeded the two-second gate. At 4x, the five-second loop deadline expired with four of five owner disclosures open and 163 tasks visible; at 8x, it expired with one open and 52 visible. Each owner group still contained 40 mounted tasks. These single runs show a slow expansion can produce a partial count, but they did not reproduce the CI count of 184 or establish its cause. Debug instrumentation changes timing, and the local environment is not CI. Capture elapsed time, per-group row counts and disclosure state on the failing runner before selecting a fix; preserve both existing limits.

Python shard queue observation (2026-11-14)

Around 14:55 UTC, GitHub reported all 18 Python test-shard jobs for #8703, #8733 and #8737 as pending with no assigned runner. None of the three runs had a pending environment deployment approval. A non-atomic inventory of 43 nonterminal Python Tests workflow runs found 192 shard jobs: 178 pending, two queued, three in progress and nine completed.

The workflow uses a repository-wide concurrency group for each shard number. During the check, shard 2, shard 4, and shard 5 were running in other PRs while the same-numbered jobs here remained pending. This is consistent with shared-lane contention; the API does not establish why every other shard is pending or its queue position. The jobs are not test passes or failures. No runs were cancelled or restarted.

Fresh D1 bootstrap candidate (2026-11-14)

A candidate for a new, empty database is to preserve the historical v0 schema as an immutable bootstrap file, apply migrations 0001 through 0005 with Wrangler, and retain the current schema snapshot for compatibility. Update the fresh-deployment instructions and add a regression for the next migration. This does not decide or perform baselining for an already initialized database. The candidate is not committed.

Using main 4604f93, in-memory SQLite found matching table, column, index and foreign-key metadata between the current schema snapshot and the historical v0 schema followed by all five migrations. Their results also matched across 104 synthetic valid, duplicate-key, null and omitted-column scenarios. SQL source blobs were verified against Git. This is not an exhaustive equivalence proof.

The existing collector suite passed 21 of 21 tests for each schema on main, and 23 of 23 for each schema with this PR's collector and test files overlaid. Seventeen loaded modules were hash-audited. The fixture change was in memory; assertions were unchanged, and the SQLite test did not exercise the D1 migration ledger. An initial overlay run failed because its manifest omitted two imported modules; the corrected run included them.

A separate network-isolated Wrangler 4.162.0 local-D1 check applied all five migrations to a new v0 database, then applied a synthetic sixth migration twice. The ledger recorded six names, the sixth migration's non-idempotent effect occurred once, and synthetic ping and aggregate rows were unchanged. The control initialized from the current schema snapshot failed at duplicate arch and preserved its synthetic row. No remote database was accessed. Main subsequently advanced to 8380935 with changes outside the tested collector and runtime sources.

Fresh D1 regression candidate (2026-11-14)

An in-memory candidate adds the historical v0 SQL file, updates the fresh-deployment commands to apply the migration chain before deployment, and adds one collector regression that follows those documented commands against SQLite. It also clarifies that an existing database initialized from the schema snapshot needs an owner-approved baseline. The schema snapshot itself stays unchanged.

On main 8380935 with this PR's collector and test files overlaid, the original instructions failed the new regression while the other 23 tests passed. The candidate passed all 24. Seven negative controls were detected: the original instructions, applying migrations to the snapshot, duplicate arch in v0, schema drift, wrong command order, a different target database, and using local instead of remote for migration. Only the new regression failed in each control.

All edits and the regression were supplied in memory; no candidate files or commits exist in this PR. The tests used synthetic SQLite with hash-audited source overlays, not a complete checkout or CI. The separate local-D1 future-migration experiment above exercises the actual Wrangler ledger.

Updated team recovery overlap (2026-11-14)

PR #8732 advanced from 6455a7c to 8983c84 and changed the revalidation lock handling. Its smoke file retained the same blob as the earlier test. Relative to the common base 87a736b, its 65 changed LoopX source paths did not overlap the one LoopX path changed in the failed CI merge.

An isolated repeat used the exact failed-CI Chat bundle, Chrome Headless Shell 151.0.7922.34, and 107 hash-verified CI and upstream source overlays. The original proxy reproduced the accepted-analysis readback failure. A local candidate forwarded the real operation inventory and operation IDs, retained #8732's diagnostics and assertions, and passed the existing active-worker, response-loss and single-Host recovery smoke. The candidate run loaded and hash-audited 49 overlaid Python modules.

This used synthetic data, a custom in-memory asset server and source overlays; it is not a complete merged checkout or CI result. The proxy candidate is not committed, and #8732's newest head still needs normal CI.

Lock and bound-history integration checks (2026-11-14)

With #8732 at 8983c84, its exact concurrent status-read regression ran against a virtual combination of the failed CI source and the upstream changes. The CI backend failed four of eight cases; the new backend passed all eight, covering file and SQLite storage plus the registered, registering, held and revoked reader states. The two runs differed only in the backend file. The test module and source overlays were supplied in memory, and the candidate loaded 50 hash-audited Python modules. Pytest tracebacks can display lines from the older physical test file because the new test module was virtual.

Main commit bf1eed7 changed bound Chat history and its smoke after the failed CI merge. A complete changed-path inventory found six files touched by both this PR and that main; all six merged without text conflicts in memory. The original Vite SSR bound-conversation smoke passed on main and on the virtual merge, each through real local HTTP, SQLite and Core with synthetic fixtures. Both runs included the normal and steward-fallback paths and audited 49 loaded Python overlays. Main advanced to 80c6949 during the check; that commit changed only two documentation files.

These are isolated local runs with virtual sources and installed dependencies, not complete merged checkouts or CI. No source was committed by these checks.

Dashboard typecheck and Vite projection (2026-11-15)

Against main 80c6949 and this PR head, the dashboard TypeScript 6.0.3 compiler API used the project tsconfig and the complete tracked root-file inventory. Both main and the in-memory merge had 227 root files, loaded 518 source files and reported zero diagnostics. The physical checkout's parsed tsconfig inventory matched its tracked roots; configuration, lockfile and relevant static inputs were hash-verified.

Vite 8.3.4 built both the main dashboard and Chat configurations with write disabled. Both main and the projected merge produced an HTML entry; the dashboard build produced 32 output items and the Chat build 35. The merged Chat data module was loaded from the verified overlay.

These are isolated local checks using in-memory merged sources and installed dependencies. They do not run the Chat packaging/retention builder, create a complete merged checkout, exercise a browser, or establish CI status.
