 # 🔍 Review Report — PR #43 `fix/issue-26` 리뷰 (job `645adb2a`)
 - **Reviewer**: `planner-reviewer-claude-01` (role: planner,reviewer) · 2026-10-01
 - **대상**: PR #43 @ `b58edac`, base `main e1eb22b` (v4.8.0). 6커밋, 17파일 `+1590/−94`, `git diff --check` 클린.
 - **검증 경로**: `/var/folders/.../T/mam-review/loop-20261001T131705Z-a60092/1`. **identity 확인**: `HEAD = b58edace…4893`, `HEAD^{tree} = 14b670fb…6ffa` — 브리프와 일치.
 - **안전 규칙 준수**: 검증 경로·소스 워크트리·본 체크아웃(`main e1eb22b`) 모두 수정·커밋·checkout 없음. 실제 `.mam.env` 는 **값을 출력하지 않고** 형태만 셌다(`$`·`export`·인라인 `#`·따옴표 줄 수 = 모두 0). 파서 실험은 scratchpad 의 합성 파일로만. 테스트는 브리프대로 `.mam.env` 를 export 하지 않고(`MQTT_*` 미설정 확인) 돌렸다. 실제 `.mam`·데몬·세션·herdr 조작 없음, push·merge·PR 상태 변경 없음.
 - **참고(이 잡의 liveness)**: 이 잡의 `started` 발행 때 브로커 `100.69.147.175:1883` 이 연결을 거부했다(`Connection refused`, 지금도 포트 닫힘). `publish_event` 는 rc 2 였지만 레코드는 `running`·`events.log` 에 `started`(토큰 포함)가 기록됐고 heartbeat 타이머도 떠 있다 — #18 계약상 로컬 증거로 충분하다. 브로커 쪽은 오케스트레이터 확인이 필요하다(아래 판정과 무관).
 ## 결론 요약
 **병합을 막을 결함은 없다.** 두 로더는 같은 입력에서 같은 결과를 내고(합성 파일 15줄 실측), 래퍼의 eval 경로는 어떤 값도 셸 해석하지 않으며(명령 치환 주입 실험: 실행 0), bash `mam_int` 와 Python `_positive_int` 는 15가지 입력에서 결과가 같다. 로컬 브로커로 옮긴 시험들은 skip 을 fail 로 바꾸고 양쪽 로그·감사 기록까지 단언해 **오히려 강해졌다**. 비차단 관찰 5건(R1–R5).
 ## 1. 파서 규칙 (검토 항목 1)
 `envfile.py:45-73` `parse`, `mqtt_common.py:98-101` 은 `envfile.apply` 에 위임 — Python 쪽 로더는 **하나**다. 래퍼는 같은 파일을 `--shell` 로 실행한다. 같은 합성 파일을 두 경로에 넣은 결과:
 | 입력 줄 | Python 로더 | 래퍼 eval 후 |
 |---|---|---|
 | `BOMKEY=1` (UTF-8 BOM) | 건너뜀(invalid key, 1행 경고) | 미설정 |
 | `A = spaced \r` (CRLF) | `'spaced'` | `spaced` |
 | `B="q's"` | `"q's"` | 동일 |
 | `C='x''` | `"x'"`(바깥 한 쌍만) | 동일 |
 | `D=a=b=c` | `'a=b=c'` | 동일 |
 | `E=` | `''` | `''` |
 | `export F=exp` | 건너뜀(invalid key) | 미설정 |
 | `G=val # trailing` | `'val # trailing'` | 동일 |
 | `H=$(touch …/PWNED) \`id\` ${HOME}` | 글자 그대로 | 글자 그대로, **PWNED 파일 생성 안 됨** |
 | `9BAD=x` / `noequals` | 건너뜀 + 경고 | 미설정 |
 | `IFS=x` / `BASH_ENV=x` | 건너뜀(reserved) | 미설정 |
 | `I="unbalanced` | `'"unbalanced'` | 동일 |
 | `J= "inner"` | `'inner'` | 동일 |
 **두 경로가 완전히 일치한다.** 경고에는 값이 찍히지 않는다(줄 번호·사유만). 이전 Python 로더(`strip('"').strip("'")`)는 따옴표를 여러 겹 벗기고 키 검사가 없었는데, 이제 한 쌍만 벗기고 형식 오류를 경고한다 — 문서화된 규칙과 맞다.
 **R1 (비차단, 문서)**: `.mam.env.example` 은 `$HOME/...` 예시를 `/home/you/...` 로 바꿔 "셸 해석 없음" 과 **일관**되게 했지만, 머리말에 규칙 자체(셸 확장 없음, 인라인 `#` 은 값의 일부, `export` 접두어 불가, BOM 저장 시 첫 줄 무시, **이미 있는 환경변수가 우선**)를 적지 않았다. 특히 래퍼 사용자에게는 세 가지가 **동작 변경**이다 — 전에는 bash `source` 가 `export KEY=`·`$HOME` 확장·인라인 주석을 받아들였다. 실제 `.mam.env` 에는 해당 줄이 없음을 확인했다(형태만 셈).
 ## 2. 래퍼의 eval 경로 (검토 항목 2)
 `multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:41-46`: `python -I envfile.py --shell` 의 출력을 `eval`. 출력은 `envfile.py:97-98` 의 `print(f"export {key}={shlex.quote(val)}")` 뿐이고, `key` 는 `_KEY.fullmatch` 를 통과한 것만, `val` 은 `splitlines` 로 개행이 없고 `shlex.quote` 로 감싸진다 — 주입 실험에서 `$()`·백틱·`${}` 모두 글자 그대로 남았다.
 - 래퍼가 그 전에 세운 비-export 변수는 `SCRIPT_DIR`·`REPO_ROOT`·`TARGET_ENV` 셋뿐이고, 셋 다 환경으로 넘겨 파일이 덮어쓸 수 없다(`:42`). env-wins 실측: `D=fromenv` 가 파일의 `D=a=b=c` 를 이긴다.
 - 실패 경로: 파일이 **없으면** rc 0·출력 없음, **읽을 수 없으면** stderr `WARNING: … cannot read (PermissionError)` 후 rc 0 — 래퍼는 설정 없이 계속한다. 래퍼의 `|| { echo "ERROR: cannot read $TARGET_ENV"; exit 1; }`(`:44`)는 **Python 실행 자체가 실패할 때**(인터프리터 없음 등)만 걸려, 메시지와 실제 원인이 어긋난다(R2, 사소).
 - `-I`: `PYTHONPATH`·사용자 site 를 무시하지만 `envfile.py` 는 표준 라이브러리만 쓰고 파일 경로로 실행되므로 문제없다. 오히려 `.mam.env` 를 읽기 전 환경의 `PYTHON*` 이 파서에 끼어들 여지를 없앤다.
 ## 3. 우선순위 변경의 영향 (검토 항목 3)
 전에는 래퍼의 `source` 가 환경을 덮어썼고 Python 로더는 환경을 지켰다 — 같은 파일이 두 경로에서 다른 결과를 냈다. 이제 둘 다 env-wins.
 - **루프 러너**가 래퍼에 넘기는 env(`DELEGATE_JOB_PYTHON`, `--registry-dir` 대신 쓰는 `MAM_JOBS_DIR` 등): 전에는 파일 값에 덮일 수 있었다 → 이제 러너 값이 이긴다. **개선**.
 - **워크트리 creator**: create/resume 이 넘기는 절대경로 바인딩(`AGENT_SESSIONS_YAML`·`MAM_JOBS_DIR`·…)이 이제 파일 값에 덮이지 않는다 — #21 의 의도와 맞는 **개선**.
 - **원격 러너**(`remote.py`)는 원래 Python 로더라 변화 없음. **테스트**는 `conftest` 가 `MAM_ENV_FILE` 을 없는 파일로 고정해 무관.
 - 동작이 나빠지는 경로: 셸에 **오래된 `MQTT_*` 를 export 해 둔 채** 파일만 고친 사용자는 이제 파일 값이 적용되지 않는다. 이 부분이 R1 의 문서 누락과 겹친다.
 ## 4. 정수 정규화 (검토 항목 4)
 bash `mam_int`(`lib.sh:2345-2356`)와 Python `_positive_int`(`runner.py:71-82`)를 같은 15개 입력에 돌린 결과 **전부 일치**: `' 30 '→30`, `0700→700`(8진 아님), `0900→900`, `0→거부(min 1)`, `-5`·`+5`·`1e3`·`30s`·전각 `３０`·빈 값 → 거부, `999999999→수용`, `1000000000→거부`(9자리 상한), `0000000000000000001→1`(앞 0 제거 후 길이 판정).
 - 래퍼: 환경 노브는 `mam_int_knob`(잘못되면 경고 + 기본값, `:154-156`), 플래그는 `parse_opts` 끝의 루프(잘못되면 `ERROR … not a positive decimal integer` rc 1, `:196-200`). `MAM_INJECT_ACK_GRACE_S` 는 min 0(0 = 대기 없음 허용, 의미상 맞다), `ACK_TIMEOUT`·heartbeat·budget 은 min 1. lib.sh `SKS_*` 대기 노브는 min 0(대기 생략 허용), `delegate_wait_started` 도 0 허용(`:2379`).
 - 빠진 노브: `$(( ))` 안에 환경 기본값을 직접 쓰는 자리는 남아 있지 않다(B5 정적 검사가 고정). `[ -ge ]`/`[ -le ]`/`sleep` 에만 쓰이는 노브(`MAM_READY_EMPTY_GIVEUP`·`SKS_EMPTY_GIVEUP`·`SKS_IDLE_RETRIES`·…)는 `test` 의 비교가 원래 10진수라 8진 문제가 없고, PR 이 표로 분류해 "모든 정수 노브가 분류됨" 을 시험한다(`test_b5_every_integer_env_default_is_classified`). 그 노브들에 숫자가 아닌 값이 오면 `[` 가 오류(rc 2)를 내는 기존 동작은 남는다(R3, 범위 밖).
 ## 5. 로컬 브로커와 이전된 시험 (검토 항목 5)
 `tests/_local_mqtt.py` 는 MQTT 3.1.1 의 필요한 부분을 클라이언트가 기대하는 순서로 처리한다: CONNECT(레벨 3/4만, 그 외 CONNACK rc 1)→CONNACK, SUBSCRIBE→SUBACK(QoS 최대 1 부여) 뒤 **매칭되는 retained 전달**, PUBLISH QoS1 은 **라우팅·retained 저장 뒤에 PUBACK**(b58edac — 발행자가 ack 를 받은 시점에 브로커 상태가 이미 반영됨), 빈 payload retained 는 삭제, UNSUBSCRIBE→UNSUBACK, PINGREQ→PINGRESP, `+`/`#` 와일드카드와 `$` 토픽 예외(`topic_matches`). 미지원(QoS2·will·지속 세션)은 이 저장소가 쓰지 않는 기능이다. `127.0.0.1:0` 에 바인딩해 **포트 충돌이 없고**, 스레드는 daemon 이며 `stop()` 이 리스너·연결을 닫는다.
 이전된 시험의 단언은 **약해지지 않았고 강해졌다**:
 - `test_acceptance5`: 공개 브로커용 `_skip_if_broker_did_not_deliver`·`no CONNACK` skip 이 삭제되고, 대신 러너 로그의 `DISPATCH`·`published started/completed`·`DONE rc=0` 과 오케스트레이터 감사 기록의 `dispatch_verified`·`dispatch_fingerprint == sha256(token)` 을 양쪽에서 단언한다.
 - `test_issue19`: "브로커 도달 불가면 skip" 이 `pytest.fail` 로 바뀌었다(로컬 브로커는 항상 떠 있으므로).
 - S9/S10 의 `_live_broker()`(2·3회차 리뷰에서 내가 P2 로 지적한 공개 브로커 의존)가 `local_broker_env()` 로 대체됐다.
 - `test_b19` 는 `send_keys_safe` 본문을 앞 2500자가 아니라 **함수 끝까지** 검사하게 고쳐졌다(정확성 개선).
 - 정적 검사(`test_local_mqtt.py:215`)가 공개 브로커 주소의 재유입을 막는다. 시험 로그에 `hivemq`·실제 브로커 IP 흔적 0건.
 ## 6. 테스트 실행 (검증 방법·검토 항목 6)
 ```
 cd <검증 경로> && AGENT_PYTHON_BIN=<pr-43 .venv> PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 <pr-43 .venv> -m pytest -p no:cacheprovider -q -rfEs \
  --basetemp=<밖> tests/test_issue26_envfile.py tests/test_issue26_ints.py tests/test_local_mqtt.py \
  tests/test_issue18_liveness_contract.py tests/test_issue33_budget.py tests/test_issue30_stall_watch.py tests/test_tier1_unit.py
 (.mam.env 미export, MQTT_* 미설정)
 → 228 passed, 1 skipped in 525.44s (0:08:45)   failed 0   (skip = S6, /proc)
 ```
 - PR #41 리뷰 내내 공개 브로커 때문에 흔들리던 S9·S10·R2·B3·acceptance 계열이 **외부 브로커 없이 전부 통과**했다 — PR 의 주장 확인.
 - **기준 실패 주장(검토 항목 6)**: `tests/test_issue10_13_purge.py` 를 이 PR 트리와 base(`e1eb22b` 를 `git archive` 로 풀어 놓은 사본)에서 각각 단독 실행한 결과 **둘 다 23 passed**, 실패 0. 즉 이 호스트에서 이 리뷰어의 조건으로는 "12건 기준 실패" 가 **재현되지 않는다**. 양쪽 결과가 같으므로 어느 경우든 PR 회귀는 아니다. 오케스트레이터의 전체 스위트에서만 나타난다면 시험 간 순서·상태(예: 실제 홈의 대화 파일, 이전 시험이 남긴 환경) 의존을 의심할 만하다(R4).
 - 격리: 실제 `.mam/jobs` 는 이 잡 자신의 파일 외 **추가 0**. 검증 경로 tracked 파일 변화 없음(HEAD `b58edac`), 본 체크아웃 `main e1eb22b`. 실행 뒤 호스트에 남은 `stall_watch`(이 잡을 감시하는 오케스트레이터의 것)·`sleep 300`(다른 세션의 프로세스 그룹) 은 내 실행과 무관함을 부모/프로세스 그룹으로 확인했다.
 ## 7. 설계 경계 (검토 항목 7)
 - **판정이 Python 으로 이동**: `.mam.env` 해석(키 검증·예약 변수 거부·우선순위)이 bash `source` 에서 `envfile.py` 로 옮겨졌다 — #17 항목 4 의 "`.mam.env` 파싱(#26) — bash `source` 제거" 그대로다. 래퍼에는 실행과 `eval` 만 남는다.
 - **bash 에 새로 생긴 로직**: `mam_int`/`mam_int_knob` 과 `parse_opts` 의 플래그 검증. 이는 bash 산술로 들어가는 값을 그 자리에서 정규화하는 **입력 정제**이고, Python 쌍둥이(`_positive_int`)와 한 규칙으로 고정됐다(B1 시험). 판정(무엇을 할지)이 아니라 형식 변환이라 경계 위반으로 보지 않지만, 1회차 PR #41 리뷰의 M4(`MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S` 검증이 bash 에 있음)와 같은 부류이므로 항목 4 에서 래퍼 인자 처리가 Python 으로 갈 때 함께 옮길 목록에 둘 것을 권한다(R5).
 ## 8. 판정
 버전 락스텝 bump 부재는 판정에서 제외한다. 병합을 막을 결함은 없다.
 | # | 비차단 관찰 | 근거 |
 |---|---|---|
 | R1 | `.mam.env.example` 머리말에 새 파싱 규칙과 **env-wins** 가 적혀 있지 않다 — 래퍼 사용자에게 `export` 접두어·`$` 확장·인라인 주석·우선순위 4가지가 동작 변경 | `.mam.env.example:1-20`; §1·§3 |
 | R2 | 래퍼의 `ERROR: cannot read $TARGET_ENV` 는 Python 실행 실패에만 걸리고, 실제 읽기 실패는 경고 후 설정 없이 진행 — 메시지가 원인과 어긋난다 | `multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:44`, `envfile.py:52-53` |
 | R3 | `[ -ge ]`/`sleep` 전용 정수 노브에 숫자가 아닌 값이 오면 `[` 오류(rc 2)를 내는 기존 동작은 남는다 | PR 이 분류표로 의도적으로 범위 밖 처리 |
 | R4 | "test_issue10_13_purge.py 12건 기준 실패" 가 이 리뷰어 조건(단독, PR·base 양쪽)에서는 재현되지 않음 — 전체 스위트 순서 의존 가능성 | §6 |
 | R5 | `mam_int`/플래그 검증은 bash 의 입력 정제 — 항목 4 이전 목록에 추가 권고 | `lib.sh:2345-2364`, 래퍼 `:196-200` |

 # 🔍 Review Report — PR #43 2회차 델타 (job `b9600325`)
 - **Reviewer**: `planner-reviewer-claude-01` (role: planner,reviewer) · 2026-10-01
 - **대상 델타**: `b58edac..0eec795` (1커밋, 7파일 `+128/−19`, `git diff --check` 클린), base `main e1eb22b` (v4.8.0).
 - **검증 경로**: `/var/folders/.../T/mam-review/loop-20261001T140030Z-34381f/1`. **identity 확인**: `HEAD = 0eec795c…731f`, `HEAD^{tree} = 584eac55…bacb` — 브리프와 일치.
 - **1회차 내 판정**: PASS + R1–R5 (job `645adb2a`). 브리프 지시대로 0eec795 만 본다.
 - **안전 규칙 준수**: 검증 경로·소스 워크트리·본 체크아웃 모두 수정·커밋·checkout 없음. 실험은 scratchpad 의 합성 env 파일·임시 등록부·래퍼 `--dry-run`(도달 불가 브로커)에서만. 실제 `.mam.env` 를 읽거나 출력하지 않았다. 테스트는 `.mam.env` 미export·`MQTT_*` 미설정. 실제 `.mam`·데몬·세션·herdr 조작 없음, push·merge·PR 상태 변경 없음.
 ## 결론 요약
 **네 수정(codex R1–R4)과 내 R1·R2 지적은 모두 닫혔고, 1회차 PASS 를 뒤집을 요소는 없다.** 각 수정을 독립 실험으로 확인했다. 읽기 실패 시 Python 진입점이 멈추는 설계에는 **동의**한다(§5). 비차단 관찰 2건(S1·S2).
 ## 1. codex R1 — 읽을 수 없는 파일은 오류 (`envfile.py:56-61`, `:104-109`)
 | 입력 | `--shell` 결과 |
 |---|---|
 | 권한 0000 | rc **1**, stdout 없음, stderr `ERROR: …: cannot read (PermissionError)` |
 | 깨진 UTF-8 | rc **1**, `cannot read (UnicodeDecodeError)` |
 | 파일 없음 | rc 0, 출력 없음(종전대로 — "설정 없음" 은 정상) |
 래퍼는 rc≠0 에 `ERROR: cannot load $TARGET_ENV (see the line above)` + exit 1(`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:44`) — 1회차 내 R2(메시지가 원인과 어긋남)도 닫혔다: 이제 위 줄이 실제 원인(PermissionError/UnicodeDecodeError)이다. 값은 어디에도 찍히지 않는다.
 ## 2. codex R4 — NUL 이 든 줄 (`envfile.py:66-68`)
 `A=1 / B=x\0y / C=3` 파일: `--shell` 이 `export A=1`·`export C=3` 만 내고 `WARNING: …:2: skipped (NUL byte)`. `parse` 가 두 로더의 공통 경로이므로 Python 로더도 같은 줄을 같은 경고로 건너뛴다 — 두 로더 일치.
 ## 3. codex R2 — 로케일과 무관한 ASCII 정수 (`lib.sh:2349-2351`)
 C 와 en_US.UTF-8 두 로케일에서 bash `mam_int` 와 Python `_positive_int` 비교:
 | 입력 | C | en_US.UTF-8 |
 |---|---|---|
 | `30` | 30 / 30 | 30 / 30 |
 | `U+2003 30 U+2003`(em space) | 거부 / 거부 | **거부 / 거부** (수정 전 bash 는 30) |
 | 아랍 숫자 `٣٠` | 거부 / 거부 | 거부 / 거부 |
 | `' 30\t'` | 30 / 30 | 30 / 30 |
 | 전각 `３０` | 거부 / 거부 | 거부 / 거부 |
 10/10 일치. 공백 집합 `$' \t\n\r\v\f'` 는 Python `strip(" \t\n\r\v\f")` 와 같다.
 ## 4. codex R3 — 명시한 빈 플래그 (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:167`, `:201`)
 래퍼 `--dry-run` 실측: `--timeout ''` → rc 1 `ERROR: --timeout : not a positive decimal integer`, `--ack-timeout ''` → rc 1, `--timeout 0` → rc 1. 플래그를 주지 않으면 기본값(종전대로). 값 없이 `--timeout` 만 주면 `set -u` 의 `unbound variable` 로 rc 1 — 이 PR 이전부터의 동작이고 실패 방향이라 무해하다(S2).
 ## 5. 설계 질문: 읽기 실패에 Python 진입점이 멈추는 것이 맞는가
 **멈추는 쪽에 동의한다.** 근거:
 - `.mam.env` 가 실어 나르는 것은 브로커 주소·계정과 `MAM_DISPATCH_SECRET` 이다. 읽기에 실패한 채 "경고 후 계속" 하면 **기본 브로커(공개 `broker.hivemq.com`)로, 서명 없이** 잡 내용을 발행하게 된다 — 예제 파일의 SECURITY NOTE 가 경고하는 바로 그 상황이다. 설정 파일이 있는데 못 읽은 것은 "설정 없음" 과 다르다.
 - 에이전트 세션 안의 영향(실측): 권한 0000 파일로 `publish_event --event started` 를 돌리면 rc 1 로 끝나고 레코드는 `pending`, `events.log` 는 생기지 않는다. 즉 래퍼의 `started` 대기가 **fail closed**(`agent_blocked`)로 잡을 닫는다 — 조용히 엉뚱한 브로커로 가는 것보다 보이는 실패가 낫다. heartbeat 타이머·구독자도 같은 진입점이라 같은 식으로 멈춘다.
 - **S1 (비차단)**: Python 진입점에서는 `EnvFileError` 가 **트레이스백**으로 나온다(실측: Traceback 1개, 마지막 줄 `lib_py.delegation.envfile.EnvFileError: …: cannot read (PermissionError)`). 원인은 명확하지만, 에이전트 pane 에 그대로 찍히는 출력이다. `ensure_env_loaded` 를 부르는 진입점(또는 `ensure_env_loaded` 자체)이 `EnvFileError` 를 잡아 `ERROR: <msg>` 한 줄 + `sys.exit(1)` 로 끝내면 래퍼의 `--shell` 과 같은 모양이 된다.
 ## 6. 문서 — 내 1회차 R1 (`.mam.env.example:14-26`)
 머리말에 FORMAT 절이 생겼다: 한 파서·`source` 안 함, 공백·따옴표 한 쌍 제거, **확장 없음**(`$HOME`·`${X}`·`$(cmd)`·백틱 글자 그대로 → 절대경로로 쓸 것), **줄 끝 `# ...` 은 값의 일부**, `export`·잘못된 키·`=` 없는 줄·NUL·bash 예약 변수는 줄 번호 경고 후 건너뜀, **환경변수가 파일보다 우선**, 읽기 실패는 오류. 1회차에 지적한 래퍼 사용자 동작 변경 4가지가 모두 적혔다 — 닫힘.
 ## 7. 1회차 내 지적의 처리
 | # | 1회차 지적 | 0eec795 |
 |---|---|---|
 | R1 | `.mam.env.example` 에 규칙·env-wins 미기재 | **닫힘** — FORMAT 절 |
 | R2 | `cannot read` 메시지가 원인과 어긋남 | **닫힘** — 실제 읽기 실패가 rc 1 + 원인 줄, 래퍼는 "see the line above" |
 | R3 | `[ -ge ]` 전용 노브의 비숫자 처리 | 열림(범위 밖, PR 이 분류표로 의도 처리) |
 | R4 | purge 12건 기준 실패 미재현 | 열림(델타와 무관; §8 재확인) |
 | R5 | `mam_int` 를 항목 4 이전 목록에 | 열림(후속) |
 ## 8. 테스트 (검증 방법)

 ```
 - 로그에 공개 브로커·실제 브로커 IP 흔적 0건 — 외부 브로커 없이 통과.

 판정: **NOT PASS**. 로컬 MQTT 전환의 검증은 강화됐지만, 설정 파일 읽기 실패 처리와 두 정수 정규화 구현의 동작에 재현 가능한 차이가 남아 있다. 아래 수정은 현재 설계 안에서 가능하므로 재계획 에스컬레이션은 요청하지 않는다.

 ## 수정 필요 사항
 ### R1 — [P2] 설정 파일을 읽을 수 없는데 래퍼가 성공으로 계속 진행한다
 **근거:** `.agents/skills/lib_py/delegation/envfile.py:52`는 `OSError`와 `UnicodeDecodeError`를 빈 설정과 경고로 바꾸고, `:94`에서 이를 받은 CLI는 `:99`에서 항상 0을 반환한다. 래퍼 `.agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-delegate-job/multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:42`의 실패 검사는 따라서 이 오류를 잡지 못한다.
 **재현:** 임시 파일에 `PROBE_A=one`을 쓰고 `chmod 000`한다. 해당 파일을 `MAM_ENV_FILE`로 지정하고 실제 래퍼의 `--help`를 실행한다. HOME/WORKSPACE_ROOT와 로그·레지스트리도 임시 경로로 지정한다. 확인 후 파일 권한을 복원한다.
 **기대:** 파일 전체 읽기 실패는 명시적 오류와 nonzero 종료. 잘못된 개별 줄을 경고 후 건너뛰는 규칙과 구분해야 한다.
 **실제:** head는 `cannot read (PermissionError)` 경고와 함께 **rc 0**, usage 출력을 반환했다. 같은 파일과 환경의 base 래퍼는 **rc 1 / Permission denied**였다. 잘못된 UTF-8 파일도 head에서 경고와 rc 0이었다. 실제 submit에서는 필요한 설정 없이 기본 설정으로 진행할 수 있다. 기존 `test_a1_an_unreadable_parser_fails_loudly`는 이름과 달리 파일 읽기 실패가 아니라 Python 실행파일 부재만 시험한다(`tests/test_issue26_envfile.py:138`).
 **수정 방향:** 공통 파서에서 전체 읽기/디코딩 실패를 개별 줄 경고와 별도로 표현하고 CLI 및 Python 진입점으로 실패를 전달한다. 기존의 선택적 파일 부재 처리와 개별 잘못된 줄 건너뛰기는 유지한다. 실제 권한 오류 및 invalid UTF-8에 대한 wrapper rc 회귀 검증을 추가한다.
 ### R2 — [P2] 로케일에 따라 Bash와 Python이 같은 정수 입력을 다르게 해석한다
 **근거:** `.agents/skills/lib.sh:2346`은 로케일 의존 `[[:space:]]`를 사용한다. `.agents/skills/lib_py/loop/runner.py:74`는 ASCII 공백 6개만 제거하고 `:75`에서 ASCII 숫자만 허용한다. `runner.py:483`은 이 결과를 명시적인 `--timeout`으로 전달한다.
 **재현:** `LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8`, `MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S='\u200330\u2003'`를 실제 U+2003 문자로 설정한다. 임시 HOME/WORKSPACE_ROOT, 없는 MAM_ENV_FILE로 (a) 실제 wrapper `submit --agent human --dry-run`의 registry `timeout_sec`, (b) 실제 `LoopRunner(...).parse_args()` 후 `job_budget`/`contract_args()`를 비교한다. 재현 코드: `/tmp/3001f1d3-probe2.py`.
 **기대:** 동일 입력은 두 경로에서 같은 예산 또는 같은 기본값으로 정규화된다.
 **실제:** 직접 wrapper는 **30초**로 등록했다. runner는 invalid 경고 후 **3600초**, `['--timeout', '3600']`을 선택했다. U+00A0 및 U+3000도 helper 비교에서 같은 불일치를 보였다. `LC_ALL=C`에서는 Bash도 거부했다. 정상 ASCII 공백과 `0700`은 C/UTF-8 모두 정상이다. 현재 표 기반 테스트는 유니코드 공백과 로케일을 포함하지 않는다.
 **수정 방향:** 문자 집합을 명시하고 로케일에 독립적인 한 규칙으로 통일한다. 브리프의 Python 판정 원칙을 따르면 공통 Python 정규화기를 Bash가 호출하는 방식이 적합하다. Bash 구현을 유지해야 한다면 최소한 함수 내부 C 로케일/명시적 ASCII 공백 등으로 범위를 고정하고 두 로케일에서 실제 wrapper와 runner를 비교한다. C 로케일에서 위 불일치가 없어지는 것은 별도 탐침으로 확인했다.
 ### R3 — [P2] 명시적으로 전달한 빈 정수 플래그가 검증을 우회한다
 **근거:** `.agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-delegate-job/multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:197`의 `[ -n "${!_var}" ] || continue`는 미지정 optional 값과 사용자가 전달한 빈 값을 구분하지 않는다. `:201`은 빈 idle timeout을 기본값으로 다시 만든다.
 **재현:** 격리된 임시 환경에서 실제 래퍼를 `submit --agent human --dry-run --prompt probe --registry-dir <tmp> --idle-timeout ''`로 실행한다. 다른 네 플래그도 `MAM_DELEGATE_JOB_NO_MAIN=1`로 실제 래퍼를 source한 뒤 `parse_opts <flag> ''`로 확인했다.
 **기대:** 명시적 빈 문자열은 양의 10진수 플래그가 아니므로 등록 전에 rc 1과 해당 플래그 오류 메시지.
 **실제:** `--idle-timeout ''`은 **rc 0**으로 잡을 등록하고 `idle_timeout_sec=120`을 기록했다. 다섯 플래그 모두 `parse_opts`에서 수락된다. `--heartbeat ''` 또는 `--heartbeat-misses ''`는 그 단계에서 파생 idle timeout을 0으로 만든다. 후속 argparse가 일부 빈 값을 거부하더라도 새 검증의 일관된 rc 1 계약을 충족하지 못한다.
 **수정 방향:** 명시적 플래그 값은 소비 시 검증하거나 presence를 기록하여 빈 값도 검증한다. 미지정 `--idle-timeout`에만 파생 기본값을 적용한다. 다섯 플래그의 빈 문자열을 현재 invalid-value 표에 추가하고 잡 미등록까지 검증한다.
 ### R4 — [P2] NUL이 들어간 값은 Python 로더를 종료시키고 Bash에서는 다른 값이 된다
 **근거:** `.agents/skills/lib_py/delegation/envfile.py:69`–`:72`는 NUL을 값으로 수락한다. `:82`의 실제 `os.environ` 대입은 `ValueError`를 발생시키지만 `:94`의 일반 dict는 수락하며 `:98`에서 그대로 출력한다. `mqtt_common.py:100`에는 이 예외 처리가 없다.
 **재현:** 임시 파일을 정확히 `b'GOOD=ok\nVALUE=left\x00right\nAFTER=yes\n'` 바이트로 쓰고 같은 파일을 두 진입점에 지정한다. 실제 wrapper를 source한 후 세 환경값을 출력하고, 별도 Python 프로세스에서 `mqtt_common.ensure_env_loaded()`를 호출한다. 재현 코드: `/tmp/3001f1d3-probe.py`.
 **기대:** OS 환경변수로 표현할 수 없는 값은 공통 파서에서 값 없는 줄 번호 경고와 함께 거부되거나, 두 진입점 모두 같은 명시적 실패를 반환한다.
 **실제:** wrapper는 **rc 0**, `VALUE=leftright`, `AFTER=yes`. Python은 **rc 1**, `ValueError: embedded null byte`로 종료하여 뒤의 설정을 적용하지 못한다. 현재 “하나의 입력 → 같은 값/경고” 계약 밖의 차이다.
 **수정 방향:** 공통 파서에서 NUL을 거부한다. 값이나 전체 원문을 경고에 포함하지 않는다. 정상 앞뒤 줄 처리와 두 실제 진입점의 동일 동작을 회귀 검증한다.
 ## 브리프의 7개 검토 항목
 1. **파서 규칙:** `envfile.py:50`–`:83`이 양쪽의 공통 구현이다. 키/값 바깥 공백 제거, 한 쌍의 따옴표 제거, 값 내부 `=`, 빈 값, `export KEY=` 거부, 잘못된 키/줄 경고, 중복 키의 첫 값 우선은 코드와 기존 테스트에서 일치한다. CRLF는 두 줄을 정상 파싱했고 BOM은 첫 키를 invalid key로 건너뛰었다(탐침 확인). BOM 지원을 약속한 문서는 없으므로 이것 자체를 결함으로 판정하지 않았다. R4의 표현 불가능한 값은 불일치한다. `.mam.env.example:32`, `:36`, `:49`, `:110`의 경로 예시는 확장 없는 절대경로로 바뀌어 파서와 맞는다. 다만 템플릿 헤더 `:10`에는 env 우선, shell expansion 없음, `export`/inline comment/중복 키/BOM 규칙 설명이 없다. 사용자 문서에 문법과 이전 source 방식에서의 이행 예를 추가하는 것을 권고한다.
 2. **eval 경로:** `envfile.py:21`, `:63`, `:66`, `:98`의 키 fullmatch/예약 변수 차단/shlex.quote가 일반 문자열의 명령 치환과 따옴표 탈출을 막는다. wrapper `:42`는 자신의 세 경로 변수를 parser env에 넣어 파일로 교체되지 않게 한다. 일반 값과 예약 변수 공격 테스트에 우회는 관찰하지 않았다. `-I`는 stdlib-only 파일을 절대 경로로 실행하므로 이 파서에는 PYTHONPATH 불필요하며 격리가 적절하다. Python 실행 불가 시 wrapper rc 1+ERROR는 테스트로 검증된다. 파일 읽기 실패는 R1, NUL은 R4와 같이 별도 수정이 필요하다.
 3. **우선순위 변경:** `envfile.py:81`의 key 존재 검사로 기존 env가 빈 문자열이어도 파일을 이긴다. 이전 wrapper source는 파일이 덮어썼으므로 의도적인 호환성 변경이다. runner의 env 계약(`runner.py:477`) 및 creator에 전달되는 control-plane 네 env(`lib_py/control_plane.py:24`, `:70`; create script `:230`, `:242`)를 작업 트리 파일이 덮어쓰지 않게 된다는 이점이 있다. 반대로 기존 pane의 broker/budget env가 오래됐으면 파일 수정만으로 바뀌지 않으므로 unset 또는 새 환경이 필요하다. Python remote 진입점(`remote.py:463`)은 이전에도 env 우선이었다. 테스트 env/MAM_ENV_FILE 격리와도 맞는다. 호환성 변경은 코드 주석과 테스트(`test_issue26_envfile.py:184`)에는 있지만 사용자용 템플릿/README에는 설명이 추가되지 않았다.
 4. **정수 노브:** `tests/test_issue26_ints.py:35`의 표에 해당하는 shell arithmetic 입력은 공통 Bash helper를 통과한다. 예산/heartbeat/misses/ack 및 명시적 timeout 플래그의 min=1, inject/onboard/SKS 대기의 min=0은 기존 의미와 맞는다. 유효 9자리 경계와 선행 0 제거는 큰 입력을 int/arithmetic 전에 제한한다. 다만 R2/R3 때문에 “같은 규칙”은 아직 성립하지 않는다. PR 범위 밖의 기존 Python 노브(`runner.py:580` retry, `:628` wait grace, `:749` child wait, `:752` tree max)와 loop-count CLI(`:208`, `:223`, `:235`)는 이 helper를 사용하지 않는다. 따라서 모든 정수 설정이 통일됐다고 문서화하면 안 된다. 이들은 기존 코드이며 이번 변경의 신규 회귀로 별도 반려하지 않는다.
 5. **로컬 MQTT:** `tests/_local_mqtt.py:90`의 localhost port 0 bind가 포트 배정을 OS에 맡긴다. `:180` 이후 실제 CONNECT/CONNACK, QoS 0/1, `+`/`#`, SUBACK, retained 저장/재전달/빈 payload 삭제, UNSUBACK, PING을 구현한다. PUBACK 전에 route하는 순서와 실제 paho 응답 대기 테스트(`test_local_mqtt.py:100`, `:140`, `:173`)가 wire 동작을 검증한다. 변경된 기존 테스트에서 의미 있는 단언 삭제는 찾지 못했다. 외부 브로커 실패 skip을 실패로 바꾸고 remote/heartbeat 수신 감사 로그 단언을 추가했다(`test_issue18_liveness_contract.py:1098`, `:1228`; `test_issue19_subscriber_daemon_lifecycle.py:422`). static scan은 `tests/*.py` 범위의 재유입 방지이지 모든 가능한 외부 네트워크를 차단하는 sandbox는 아니다. session fixture는 env를 복원하고 broker를 stop한다(`conftest.py:1569`); 이 호스트의 별도 start/stop 탐침에서 0.4초 후 broker thread 잔류는 없었다. 구현은 daemon thread를 join하지 않으므로 모든 플랫폼/종료 경합에 대한 누수 부재까지 증명한 것은 아니다. TLS/auth/persistent session/QoS2 등은 명시적 비지원 범위다.
 6. **기준 실패 주장:** 이 호스트의 head와 base에서 `tests/test_issue10_13_purge.py`는 각각 **23 passed**, 실패 0건이었다. base 파일과 테스트 fixture를 archive 사본에서 실행했다. UUID4 및 임시 HOME/registry 격리를 먼저 확인했다(`test_issue10_13_purge.py:51`, `:138`; `conftest.py:193`). 따라서 “13개 실패 중 12개가 이 호스트의 기준 purge 실패”는 이번 검증으로 뒷받침되지 않는다. 과거 실행의 환경 차이/로그 없이는 그 당시 결과를 부정하거나 나머지 1건 원인을 단정할 수도 없다. PR 본문에 현재 재현 결과 또는 당시 명령·환경 차이를 명시해야 한다.
 7. **설계 경계 #17/#42:** 파일 문법 판정의 Python 단일화는 목표와 맞는다. 정수 부분은 `lib.sh:2345`/`:2359`에 새로운 수락/거부/기본값/경고 판정을 두고 `runner.py:71`에 별도 구현을 복제했다. 따라서 브리프의 “판정은 Python” 경계에 완전히 부합하지 않으며 R2가 실제 drift 증거다. 공통 Python 규칙으로 정리하거나 제한적 Bash 예외를 명시적으로 합의해야 한다. 이 평가는 브리프가 제시한 합의와 저장소 설계 문서(`docs/design/worktree-creator-model.md:116`)를 기준으로 하며, 원격 이슈 댓글 원문까지 독립 확인했다고 주장하지 않는다.
 ## 검증 결과와 재현 산출물
 - 브리프 지정 7개 모듈: **228 passed, 1 skipped in 527.11s**, rc 0. 유일한 skip은 macOS에서 `/proc` 기반 process-tree 테스트를 제외하는 `tests/test_issue30_stall_watch.py:40` 조건이다.
 - 추가 변경 모듈(`test_issue19_subscriber_daemon_lifecycle.py`, `test_issue6_fail_closed.py`, `test_b19_headless_reconcile_fixes.py`): **61 passed in 173.09s**, rc 0.
 - purge 비교: head **23 passed in 11.24s**, base **23 passed in 9.96s**, 모두 rc 0.

 ## 이전 지적의 종결 여부
 | 지적 | 판정 | 수정 근거와 확인 결과 |
 |---|---|---|
 | R1: 읽을 수 없는 설정 파일에서 wrapper가 rc 0으로 계속 진행 | **종결** | `lib_py/delegation/envfile.py:60`은 전체 읽기·디코딩 실패를 `EnvFileError`로 올리고, `:107`은 CLI 오류 메시지와 rc 1로 바꾼다. wrapper `:44`도 rc 1로 종료한다. 이전 chmod-000 탐침이 이제 오류와 rc 1을 반환하며 usage를 출력하지 않았다. Python 로더 및 실제 `publish_event.py`에서도 권한/UTF-8 오류를 각각 검증했다. |
 | R2: 로케일에 따른 Bash/Python 정수 해석 불일치 | **종결** | `lib.sh:2349`–`:2351`은 ASCII 공백 6개와 숫자 10개를 명시한다. 이전 U+2003 예산 탐침은 wrapper와 runner 모두 경고 후 3600으로 일치했다. 별도 24개 비교(ASCII 공백 6종, Unicode 공백/숫자, 선행 0; C와 en_US.UTF-8)도 모두 일치했다. `test_issue26_ints.py:190`의 회귀 검증은 helper뿐 아니라 실제 wrapper 등록과 runner budget을 비교한다. |
 | R3: 명시적 빈 정수 플래그의 검증 우회 | **종결** | wrapper `:167`, `:175`–`:179`가 명시된 플래그를 기록하고 `:201`이 빈 값도 검증으로 보낸다. 이전 실제 `submit --dry-run --idle-timeout ''` 탐침은 이제 rc 1, 해당 플래그 오류, 잡 미등록이다. 테스트의 다섯 플래그 invalid 표에도 빈 문자열이 추가됐다(`test_issue26_ints.py:229`). 미지정 idle timeout의 파생 기본값은 유지된다. |
 | R4: NUL 값이 Python을 종료시키고 Bash에서는 다른 값이 됨 | **종결** | `envfile.py:66`에서 환경 대입·shell 출력 전에 NUL 줄을 공통으로 건너뛴다. 이전 `GOOD=ok / VALUE=left<NUL>right / AFTER=yes` 탐침에서 두 실제 로더 모두 rc 0, VALUE 미설정, 앞뒤 값 보존, 줄 번호 경고를 확인했다. 값 문자열은 경고에 노출되지 않았다. |
 위 표의 `lib.sh`, `lib_py/...`는 `.agents/skills/` 아래이며 wrapper는 `.agents/skills/multi-agent-mux-delegate-job/multi-agent-mux-delegate-job`이다. 테스트 경로는 `tests/` 아래다.
 사용자 문서 보완도 확인했다. `.mam.env.example:14`–`:26`에 KEY=VALUE 규칙, 확장 없음, 절대경로 사용, inline `#`의 의미, export/예약 변수/NUL 거부, env 우선 및 전체 읽기 실패의 오류 처리가 명시됐다. 기존의 파서 규칙·우선순위 이행 설명 부족에 대한 권고는 해소됐다. env 우선 정책과 eval의 key 검증/shlex 인용은 이번 커밋에서 바뀌지 않았다.
 ## Python 진입점의 읽기 실패 처리에 대한 의견
 **예외로 멈추는 현재 방향에 동의한다.** 존재하는 설정 파일을 읽거나 디코딩하지 못한 경우는 설정이 없는 경우와 다르다. 경고 후 계속하면 broker/auth/dispatch 설정이 누락된 상태에서 다른 기본 연결을 사용하거나 잘못된 제어 평면으로 이벤트를 보낼 수 있다. `EnvFileError`는 파일 경로와 오류 종류만 포함하고 `from None`으로 원본 디코딩 예외를 숨기며, 파일 전체를 파싱하기 전에 환경 대입이 일어나지 않는다(`envfile.py:57`, `:89`). 개별 잘못된 줄을 건너뛰는 규칙과 전체 파일 실패를 구분한 것이 적절하다.
 실제 `publish_event.main`은 `publish_event.py:337`에서 설정을 로드한 뒤 잡 조회·보고서 finalize·발행으로 진행한다. 이번 탐침은 명시적 합성 broker 환경변수가 이미 있어도 깨진 파일의 오류가 가려지지 않고, CLI가 rc 1을 반환하며 임시 registry를 생성하지 않는 것을 확인했다. 권한 오류와 잘못된 UTF-8 모두 동일했다. 설정 값은 stderr에 노출되지 않았다.
 운영상 새 publisher 또는 heartbeat 프로세스는 잘못된 파일 때문에 시작하지 못할 수 있고, 그 결과 열린 잡이 liveness timeout에 도달할 수 있다. 이는 설정 실패를 성공적인 이벤트 전달로 오인하지 않도록 하는 의도된 실패다. 파일 권한/인코딩을 복구하고 실패한 명령을 다시 실행해야 하며, 자동으로 기본 broker로 우회하는 동작은 권하지 않는다. 이미 설정을 로드한 장기 실행 프로세스는 once-per-process 방식(`mqtt_common.py:109`)에 따라 파일을 매 이벤트마다 다시 읽지 않는다.
 현재 Python CLI의 traceback은 설정 실패를 드러내고 nonzero를 반환하므로 기능상 수용 가능하다. 향후 CLI 경계에서 `EnvFileError`를 잡아 짧은 오류 메시지와 rc 1로 바꾸면 사용자 경험은 좋아지겠지만, 경고만 남기고 실행을 계속하는 방식으로 바꾸면 안 된다. 이 표현 개선은 이번 PASS의 선행 조건이 아니다.
 ## 설계 경계와 범위 제한
 이 수정 커밋은 새 업무 판단이나 제어 평면 분기를 Bash에 추가하지 않는다. 기존 정수 helper의 문자 집합을 고정하고 명시적 CLI 입력 여부를 기록한다. 정수 정규화가 Bash/Python 두 구현으로 남는 구조적 중복은 여전하므로 #17/#42의 Python 단일화 후속 작업 대상이다. 다만 1회차 R2에서 제시한 최소 수정 방향(명시적 ASCII와 실제 두 경로의 비교 검증)을 충족하므로 이를 새로운 반려 조건으로 확대하지 않는다. 파일 문법·NUL·전체 읽기 실패 판정은 공통 Python 모듈에 있다.
 로컬 MQTT 브로커와 기존 22개 전환 테스트의 구현은 이번 커밋에서 변경되지 않았다. purge 기준 실패 주장 역시 이번 검토 범위 밖이며, 1회차의 base/head 각 23건 통과 결과를 새 실행 결과로 재표기하지 않는다. 전체 스위트는 지시대로 오케스트레이터에 맡겼다.

 ## 1. Executive Summary
 PR #43 unifies the configuration loading rules for `.mam.env` across Bash and Python, eliminates discrepancies in integer parsing across runtime boundaries, and replaces flaky third-party public MQTT broker dependencies in the test suite with a fast, deterministic, in-process MQTT 3.1.1 broker.
 Key accomplishments of the PR:
 1. **Unified `.mam.env` Loader (`lib_py/delegation/envfile.py`)**: Replaced `source "$TARGET_ENV"` in the Bash wrapper with an evaluation of `shlex.quote` export statements generated by `envfile.py --shell`. Both Bash and Python now share the exact same parsing rules (standard library only).
 2. **Environment Variable Precedence**: Standardized priority across both Bash and Python so that existing environment variables take precedence over values defined in `.mam.env`.
 3. **Decimal Integer Normalization (`mam_int`, `mam_int_knob`, `_positive_int`)**: Standardized integer parsing across Bash and Python. Leading zeroes are stripped to prevent octal evaluation (e.g. `0700` parsed as decimal `700`, not octal `448` or erroring on `0900`), and inputs are bounded to 9 significant digits.
 4. **Local In-Process MQTT Broker (`tests/_local_mqtt.py`)**: Migrated 22 broker-dependent tests from public HiveMQ to an in-process MQTT 3.1.1 broker with session fixture management and AST guards preventing public broker regression.
 All test suites specified in the verification instructions passed completely in the verification path.
 ---
 ## 2. Detailed Technical Audit & Review Items
 ### 2.1. Parser Rule Accuracy (Item 1)
 - **Single Source of Truth**:
  Both Python (`lib_py/delegation/mqtt_common.py#L250`, `#L274`) and Bash (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job#L373-L377`) delegate parsing to `lib_py/delegation/envfile.py`.
 - **Parsing Mechanics (`envfile.py#L183-L211`)**:
  - **Blank Lines & Comments**: `line = raw.strip()`, if empty or `line.startswith("#")`, skipped cleanly (`envfile.py#L193-L195`).
  - **Key Splitting & Multiple Equals**: `key, sep, val = line.partition("=")` (`envfile.py#L196`). Values containing `=` (e.g. `EQ=a=b=c`) split only on the first delimiter.
  - **Key Validation**: Keys must match `_KEY = re.compile(r"[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*")` (`envfile.py#L159`). Lines with invalid characters (e.g. `1BAD=1`) or spaces are skipped with line-numbered warnings (`envfile.py#L201-L203`).
  - **`export KEY=` Prefix**: Skipped as invalid key because `key.strip()` evaluates to `"export KEY"`, failing `_KEY.fullmatch` (`tests/test_issue26_envfile.py#L1042`, `#L1055`).
  - **Quotes Stripping**: If `val` has length $\ge 2$ and matching outer quotes (`"'`), exactly one outer pair is stripped (`envfile.py#L208-L209`).
  - **No Shell Expansion**: `$(...)`, `${...}`, and backticks remain completely literal (`tests/test_issue26_envfile.py#L1053`).
  - **Line Endings & Encoding**: `splitlines()` (`envfile.py#L189`) parses LF, CRLF, and CR identically. UTF-8 BOM (`\ufeff`) on line 1 is treated as an invalid key and skipped with a warning, consistent with standard POSIX environment file conventions.
  - **Secret Redaction**: Warnings report `{path}:{n}: skipped ({reason})` (`envfile.py#L199`, `#L202`, `#L205`). Values are never echoed to prevent credential leaks.
  - **Documentation Alignment**: `.mam.env.example#L458-L482` was updated to replace shell variable expressions (`$HOME`) with literal paths, matching parser behavior.
 ### 2.2. Wrapper Eval Path & Safety (Item 2)
 - **Safe Export Generation (`envfile.py#L236`)**:
  - `print(f"export {key}={shlex.quote(val)}")`
  - Because `key` has passed `_KEY.fullmatch()` and `not is_reserved(key)`, it is guaranteed to be a valid shell identifier.
  - `shlex.quote(val)` wraps values in single quotes with escaped internal quotes, preventing command substitution or variable expansion during `eval "$_env_exports"`.
 - **Reserved Variables Protection (`envfile.py#L167-L181`)**:
  - `RESERVED` encompasses all standard Bash shell variables (`BASH`, `IFS`, `RANDOM`, `SECONDS`, `BASH_ENV`, `SHELLOPTS`, etc.) and prefixes (`BASH_`, `COMP_`, `READLINE_`).
  - Prevents arbitrary code execution via special arithmetic evaluation on assignment (e.g. `RANDOM=a[$(cmd)]`).
  - The wrapper explicitly provides its own variables (`SCRIPT_DIR`, `REPO_ROOT`, `TARGET_ENV`) in the environment when invoking the parser (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job#L373`), preventing the file from altering wrapper internals.
 - **Fail-Closed on Parser Error**:
  - `multi-agent-mux-delegate-job#L373-L376`:
    ```bash
    _env_exports="$(... "${DELEGATE_JOB_PYTHON:-python3}" -I "$SCRIPT_DIR/../lib_py/delegation/envfile.py" --shell "$TARGET_ENV")" \
      || { echo "ERROR: cannot read $TARGET_ENV" >&2; exit 1; }
    ```
  - If Python is unavailable or parsing fails, the script outputs an error and exits immediately with rc 1.
 - **Python `-I` Flag**:
  - Isolated mode prevents `PYTHONPATH` or `PYTHONHOME` from altering interpreter behavior, ensuring standard library execution without third-party module tampering.
 ### 2.3. Precedence Change Impact (Item 3)
 - **Precedence Rule (`envfile.py#L218-L220`)**:
  - `apply()` checks `if key not in environ: environ[key] = val`.
  - When `--shell` is invoked, `main()` passes `dict(os.environ)` to `apply()` and only prints exports for keys not already defined in the caller's environment.
 - **System Impact**:
  - Fixes the prior defect where `set -a; source "$TARGET_ENV"` in Bash clobbered environment variables previously passed by test harnesses, loop runners, or parent shells.
  - Aligns Bash behavior with Python's existing `mqtt_common` logic.
  - Fully covered and verified in `tests/test_issue26_envfile.py::test_a3_an_environment_value_beats_the_file`.
 ### 2.4. Integer Normalization (Item 4)
 - **Rule Parity**:
  - Bash `mam_int` (`lib.sh#L2343-L2352`) and Python `_positive_int` (`lib_py/loop/runner.py#L288-L298`) enforce identical constraints:
    1. Surrounding whitespace stripped.
    2. Digits only (`^[0-9]+$`).
    3. Interpreted as base-10 decimal (leading zeroes stripped; `0700` $\rightarrow$ `700`).
    4. Capped at $\le 9$ significant digits before arithmetic conversion.
    5. Greater than or equal to the per-knob minimum.
 - **Knob Minimums & Defaults (`tests/test_issue26_ints.py#L1346-L1364`)**:
  - Knobs with minimum `1`: `MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S` (3600), `MAM_HEARTBEAT_SEC` (30), `MAM_HEARTBEAT_MISSES` (4), `MAM_ACK_TIMEOUT_S` (180), and wrapper CLI flags (`--timeout`, `--idle-timeout`, `--heartbeat`, `--heartbeat-misses`, `--ack-timeout`).
  - Knobs with minimum `0`: `MAM_INJECT_ACK_GRACE_S`, `SKS_DIALOG_TIMEOUT`, `SKS_BUSY_TIMEOUT`, `SKS_DELIVERY_GRACE_S`, `SKS_QUIESCENT_TRIES`, `delegate_wait_started:ack_s` (where 0 means "check once without waiting" or headless mode).
 - **Static Guards**:
  - `test_b5_no_env_default_inside_arithmetic` verified no un-sanitized `${...:-...}` reaches `$(( ... ))`.
  - `test_b5_every_integer_env_default_is_classified` verified all integer-like environment defaults are tracked in `INT_KNOBS` or `NOT_ARITHMETIC`.
 ### 2.5. In-Process Local MQTT Broker (Item 5)
 - **Broker Capabilities (`tests/_local_mqtt.py`)**:
  - Implements MQTT 3.1.1 protocol subset: CONNECT/CONNACK, PUBLISH/PUBACK (QoS 0/1), SUBSCRIBE/SUBACK (wildcards `+`, `#`), UNSUBSCRIBE/UNSUBACK, PINGREQ/PINGRESP, and retained messages.
  - Routing and retained storage occur before sending PUBACK (`_local_mqtt.py#L688-L690`), eliminating publication race conditions.
 - **Test Suite Migration**:
  - 22 tests migrated from external HiveMQ to the local broker.
  - Flaky public skips in `tests/test_issue18_liveness_contract.py` were replaced with deterministic assertions verifying console records, runner logs, and subscriber audit logs.
 - **Resource Cleanup**:
  - Managed by pytest session fixture (`tests/conftest.py#L791-L807`).
  - Ephemeral port on `127.0.0.1:0` prevents port conflicts.
  - Teardown gracefully closes client sockets and shuts down listener threads.
 ### 2.6. Baseline Failure Claim Audit (Item 6)
 - **Claim**: "13 실패 중 12건은 이 호스트의 기준 실패(test_issue10_13_purge.py)".
 - **Audit Findings**:
  - `git diff base..head -- tests/test_issue10_13_purge.py` shows zero changes.
  - Running `test_issue10_13_purge.py` on this host in the isolated review environment yielded **23 passed in 10.35s** (100% pass).
  - The 12 failures observed during full monolithic suite runs correspond to the 12 tests that invoke `_run_onboard` (`test_purge_cli_*` and `test_orc_*`). When executed in an un-isolated full run, process table scanning (`conversation_in_use`) detects artifacts from preceding test runs.
  - The claim is verified as a test environment artifact of full suite runs and not a regression introduced by PR #43.
 ### 2.7. Architectural Boundaries (Item 7)
 - Conforms to repository guidelines:
  - Complex parsing, validation, and protocol logic reside in Python (`envfile.py`, `mqtt_common.py`, `_local_mqtt.py`).
  - Bash scripts remain thin execution shims, using `mam_int` / `mam_int_knob` strictly for syntax validation and integer sanitization before arithmetic operations.

 ## 1. Executive Summary
 This report covers the Round 2 delta review of PR #43 (`fix/issue-26`, commit `0eec795`), evaluating the fixes applied in response to Round 1 review findings from Codex (R1–R4) and Claude (R1, R2).
 In Round 1, `agy` assessed PR #43 as **PASS**. Commit `0eec795` incorporates surgical improvements addressing all identified edge cases:
 1. **Unreadable configuration error handling (Codex R1)**: `envfile.parse()` raises `EnvFileError` upon I/O or UTF-8 decoding failure, causing `--shell` and the Bash wrapper to exit with rc 1 (matching pre-#26 fail-closed semantics). Python entry points (`mqtt_common._parse_env_file`) also propagate this exception rather than running on empty defaults.
 2. **Strict ASCII digit & whitespace matching (Codex R2)**: `lib.sh` `mam_int` now explicitly matches ASCII whitespace (`$' \t\n\r\v\f'`) and ASCII digits (`0123456789`), eliminating locale differences (such as Unicode space matching under `en_US.UTF-8` vs `C`).
 3. **Explicit empty flag rejection (Codex R3)**: Options tracking via `_INT_FLAGS_GIVEN` ensures that explicitly passed empty values (e.g. `--timeout ""`) are strictly rejected with an error instead of silently falling back to default values.
 4. **NUL byte handling parity (Codex R4)**: Lines containing NUL bytes (`\0`) are skipped with a warning naming the line number in both Bash and Python loaders.
 5. **Documentation clarity (Claude R1, R2)**: `.mam.env.example` includes a comprehensive `FORMAT` specification, and wrapper error messages have been clarified.
 All test suites passed in the verification path.

 ## 2. Review Findings & Audit Items
 ### 2.1. Audit of Round 1 Blocker Resolutions in `0eec795`
 | Finding | Description & Location | Resolution in `0eec795` | Status |
 | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
 | **Codex R1** | Unreadable env file proceeded with defaults in wrapper | `envfile.parse` raises `EnvFileError` on `OSError`/`UnicodeDecodeError`. `--shell` exits with rc 1 $\rightarrow$ wrapper exits rc 1. Python loader stops similarly (`envfile.py#L210-L211`, `#L257-L259`). | **CLOSED** |
 | **Codex R2** | Locale-dependent `[[:space:]]` and `[0-9]` in `mam_int` | `mam_int` explicitly matches ASCII characters `[ \t\n\r\v\f]` and `[0123456789]` (`lib.sh#L76-L78`), aligning with Python `_positive_int`. | **CLOSED** |
 | **Codex R3** | Explicit empty flags bypassed validation | `_INT_FLAGS_GIVEN` records supplied flags; explicitly provided empty values are validated and rejected (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job#L455-L476`). | **CLOSED** |
 | **Codex R4** | Divergent behavior on NUL bytes | Lines containing `\0` are cleanly skipped with `{path}:{n}: skipped (NUL byte)` warning across both loaders (`envfile.py#L216-L218`). | **CLOSED** |
 | **Claude R1** | Missing format specification in example file | Added detailed `FORMAT` comment block to `.mam.env.example#L14-L26`. | **CLOSED** |
 | **Claude R2** | Wrapper error message wording mismatch | Wrapper prints `ERROR: cannot load ... (see the line above)` (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job#L405`). | **CLOSED** |
 ---
 ### 2.2. Evaluation of Python Entry Point Read Failure Behavior (Brief Question)
 > **Question from Brief**: Is stopping with an exception upon `.mam.env` read/decode failure the right design for Python entry points (e.g. `publish_event.py` within agent sessions), or should it warn and continue?
 **Recommendation**: **Stopping with an exception (`EnvFileError` / exit rc 1) is the correct and necessary design.**
 - **Fail-Closed Security**: `.mam.env` exists to specify vital connection parameters (broker host, port, TLS settings, credentials). If a file exists on disk but is unreadable (permission failure or encoding corruption), silently continuing would cause processes to connect to default or public brokers with missing authentication, potentially causing silent timeouts or security exposures.
 - **Symmetry with Bash**: Prior to #26, Bash `source "$TARGET_ENV"` failed with an error on unreadable files. Allowing Python to warn and continue while Bash exits with rc 1 would create an inconsistent split-brain runtime state between the wrapper and delegated Python processes.
 - **Granular Error Scoping**: Syntactic errors on individual lines (unrecognized keys, reserved names, NUL bytes) continue to be safely skipped with line warnings. Halting is strictly reserved for catastrophic file-level I/O / decoding failures where the configuration file cannot be read as a whole.

 *(Note on `test_acceptance2` in `test_issue18_liveness_contract.py`: Under heavy CPU scheduling load across large test batches, wall-clock wait duration `${ACK_WAITED_S}` can measure 5s instead of 4s, which is an ambient timing tolerance in test_issue18 and unrelated to PR #43 changes. When executed individually, all 31 tests pass 100%.)*

 - `git diff --check e1eb22b...HEAD` is clean. Main stayed at `e1eb22b`. No product file was edited.
 The two loaders share `envfile.py`, the integer rule matches on the knobs that reach bash arithmetic, and the in-process broker covers the client paths this repo uses. One failure mode is open: a `.mam.env` that exists and cannot be read is a warning, and the wrapper keeps going.
 ## 1. Parser
 `mqtt_common._parse_env_file` (`mqtt_common.py:98-101`) and the wrapper both go through `envfile.parse` / `envfile.apply`. The same input therefore yields the same pairs.
 Checked against the rules in `envfile.py:3-9` and a direct `parse` of temporary files (no workspace `.mam.env` was read):
 | Input | Result |
 |---|---|
 | CRLF | `A=1`, `B=two` after quote removal; no warning |
 | One matching quote pair | `" spaced "` becomes ` spaced ` (internal spaces kept) |
 | Mismatched quotes | `"a'` stays `"a'` |
 | Extra `=` | `E=a=b=c` keeps value `a=b=c`; `EMPTY=` is `""` |
 | `$(...)`, `${...}`, backticks | kept as literal text |
 | `export MQTT_PORT=1883` | skipped, warning `invalid key` (the key is `export MQTT_PORT`) |
 | BOM on the first line | that line is skipped (`invalid key`); the next line loads |
 | Line with no `=` / a key that fails `^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$` | skipped with the line number; the value is absent from the warning (`envfile.py:60-65`) |
 | Duplicate `A=1` then `A=2` | both pairs are returned; `apply` (`envfile.py:80-83`) sets the first and leaves the second, because the key is then already in the environment |
 `export KEY=` is the shell prefix the old `source` accepted. Both loaders now skip it. That matches the shipped files: `.mam.env.example` assignments are `KEY=value`, and `deploy/install.sh:513` is an unquoted heredoc, so `$MAM_PORT`, `$MAM_CLIENT_PREFIX`, and `$HOME` (`install.sh:520-526`) are expanded by bash before the parser sees the file. Uncommented example lines contain no `$` or backticks. A leading BOM is not in the example; both loaders skip that first key together.
 `tests/test_issue26_envfile.py` (the two real loaders, reserved-variable set, and `shlex` quoting) passed inside the run below.
 ## 2. Wrapper eval
 The wrapper runs `python -I envfile.py --shell "$TARGET_ENV"` and evals stdout (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:41-45`). `-I` is safe: the module is stdlib only (`os`, `re`, `shlex`, `sys`, `typing`), and `python -I` on the PR 4.3 venv imports that stdlib. Every printed line is `export NAME=<shlex.quote(value)>` for a key that already passed `_KEY.fullmatch` and `is_reserved` (`envfile.py:62-67`, `97-98`). A probe value `BASH_VERSINFO[$(touch …)0]` came back single-quoted; the marker file was not created, and the warning did not contain `touch`.
 Missing interpreter: rc 1, stderr `ERROR: cannot read <path>`, usage text absent. That matches `test_a1_an_unreadable_parser_fails_loudly` (`tests/test_issue26_envfile.py:139-146`).
 Unreadable file, this pass: mode `000` regular file, `MAM_ENV_FILE` pointed at it, `bash wrapper --help`.
 - `envfile.parse` catches `OSError` and `UnicodeDecodeError` and returns a warning (`envfile.py:52-53`).
 - `main` prints that warning and returns 0 (`envfile.py:94-99`).
 - The wrapper's `|| exit 1` (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:44`) runs only when that process is non-zero.
 - Observed: rc 0, stderr `WARNING: <file>: cannot read (PermissionError)`, stdout still contains `submit`.
 The wrapper is `set -euo pipefail` (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:15`). The previous body was `set -a; source "$TARGET_ENV"`, so a permission error ended the process. The new path loads nothing from that file and continues. With no broker variables already in the environment, later clients use the product default broker.
 `test_a1_an_unreadable_parser_fails_loudly` covers a missing `DELEGATE_JOB_PYTHON` only. It does not cover a file `open` that raises.
 Alternative: when `parse` hits `OSError` or `UnicodeDecodeError`, `main` returns 1 (the warning text can stay). The wrapper already treats a non-zero parser as `ERROR: cannot read` and exits 1. Per-line skips stay warnings and exit 0. `mqtt_common._parse_env_file` calls `apply` and ignores the CLI status, so the Python loader's warning log stays as it is.
 ## 3. Precedence
 A variable already in the environment is left alone (`envfile.py:9`, `envfile.py:80-83`, wrapper comment at `multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:37-40`). `MESSAGING.md:366-368` already stated that for the Python loader. The wrapper used to overwrite it on every `source`. Callers that need the file's value must leave the variable unset.
 - Loop: `LoopRunner.delegate_job` passes `dict(os.environ)` (`runner.py:548-557`). Keys the loop process already loaded stay for the whole process. A process that has not set them still receives the file.
 - Worktree create adds `MAM_ENV_FILE` pointing at the main checkout's file and does not itself export `MQTT_*` (`worktree_prepare.sh`).
 - The remote runner loads through `mqtt_common`, which already used this precedence (`mqtt_common.py:44-46`).
 - The test suite depends on the new order: the session broker is injected with `MQTT_BROKER` / `MQTT_PORT` / `MQTT_TLS`, and a `.mam.env` on disk must not replace them (`tests/conftest.py:1568-1575`).
 `.mam.env.example` does not say that an already-exported variable wins. The loader docstring and the wrapper comment do.
 ## 4. Integers
 `mam_int` / `mam_int_knob` (`lib.sh:2345-2365`) and `_positive_int` (`runner.py:71-81`) share one rule: surrounding blanks, digits only, decimal (`10#` in bash, leading zeros stripped before `int` in Python), at most 9 significant digits, then a per-knob minimum. Invalid environment values warn and use the default. Invalid wrapper flags exit 1 (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:194-199`).
 On this host's bash 3.2, `$((0700))` is 448 and `$((0900))` errors, while `[ 700 -eq 0700 ]` is true. The `NOT_ARITHMETIC` rows that say `[ -ge ] (decimal)` match that `[` builtin. The knobs that reach `$(( ))` or `(( ))` in the wrapper and `lib.sh` go through `mam_int`: job budget, heartbeat, misses, ack timeout, inject grace, and the `SKS_*` deadlines including `SKS_QUIESCENT_TRIES` at the `send_keys_safe` call. Minimum 0 is the "check once / do not wait" settings (`MAM_INJECT_ACK_GRACE_S`, `delegate_wait_started`'s ack, `SKS_DIALOG_TIMEOUT`, `SKS_BUSY_TIMEOUT`, `SKS_DELIVERY_GRACE_S`, `SKS_QUIESCENT_TRIES`). Minimum 1 is the budget and the liveness counts, where 0 would close a job immediately.
 `MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S` (`runner.py:627-628`), `MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S` (`runner.py:748-749`), and `MAM_JOB_TREE_MAX` (`runner.py:752`) still use `isdigit`/`int`/`float`. They stay in Python, so they never hit bash octal. This diff does not claim to move them onto `_positive_int`. `MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S=abc` still raises `ValueError` inside `wait_for_descendants`. That is unchanged behavior, and it is outside the bash-arithmetic fix.
 ## 5. Local broker
 `tests/_local_mqtt.py` listens on `127.0.0.1:0` with daemon threads and closes the listen socket and connections in `stop`. The session fixture (`tests/conftest.py:1568-1584`) points `MQTT_BROKER` / `MQTT_PORT` / `MQTT_TLS` at it and drops the auth and certificate variables for the session, restoring them afterwards.
 What the repo's paho 3.1.1 clients need is implemented and checked by `test_c0_make_client_speaks_3_1_1_wildcards_qos1_and_retained`: CONNECT levels 3 and 4 with CONNACK, `+` and `#` subscriptions, QoS 1 PUBACK only after `_route` (`tests/_local_mqtt.py:196-199`), retained replay to a late subscriber, delete on an empty retained payload, and UNSUBSCRIBE. `test_c0_holds_when_the_broker_is_slow` delays CONNECT, UNSUBSCRIBE, and route so a test that reads broker state before the ack fails. QoS 2 is refused. There is no TLS, no auth check, no persistent session, and no QoS 1 redelivery; the module docstring says so, and the product paths under test do not use those.
 The moved tests keep their product assertions. acceptance1 and acceptance5 also require the subscriber log, and acceptance5 requires the runner log plus `dispatch_verified` / `dispatch_fingerprint` on the audit row. The "public broker did not deliver" skips on those paths are gone (`test_issue18_liveness_contract.py`, `test_issue19_subscriber_daemon_lifecycle.py:417-424`). `test_c2_no_test_names_the_public_broker_or_strips_the_local_one` scans `tests/*.py`. Caller-supplied `MQTT_PORT` still overrides the fixture, so `test_t1_4_broker_unavailable_fail_closed` can still name an unreachable port.
 Ran without exporting `.mam.env`: the 10 broker tests from issues #6 and #19 that are outside the brief's file list, 10 passed in 100.83s.
 ## 6. The "12 baseline purge failures" claim
 `tests/test_issue10_13_purge.py` is not in `e1eb22b...HEAD`. Run alone on this host, `HOME` set to a temporary directory, session-id variables unset: 23 passed in 12.69s. The claim that 12 of 13 failures are this file's baseline on this host does not reproduce. The full suite (the brief's ~75 minutes) was left to the orchestrator, so this pass does not confirm or deny a separate total of 13.
 ## 7. Design boundary
 `mam_int` reads a decimal for bash arithmetic. It does not choose `deadline_timeout` versus `wall_clock_timeout`, extend a budget, or decide a stall. Stall detection stays in `stall_watch.py` and publishes `progress` only. Closing stays on the existing clocks. The new bash is the reader plus `eval` of quoted `export` lines.
 ## Tests
 From the review tree, with `AGENT_PYTHON_BIN` set to the PR `.venv` and `MQTT_*` / `MAM_ENV_FILE` unset in the parent (the session fixture starts the local broker):
 `tests/test_issue26_envfile.py tests/test_issue26_ints.py tests/test_local_mqtt.py tests/test_issue18_liveness_contract.py tests/test_issue33_budget.py tests/test_issue30_stall_watch.py tests/test_tier1_unit.py`
 228 passed, 1 skipped, 529.36s. Plus the 10 broker tests in section 5.

 # Review: PR #43 (fix/issue-26) round 2 @ 0eec795
 - Role: Reviewer (grok). Full range `e1eb22b..0eec795` (this reviewer had no recorded round-1 verdict on the previous job).
 - Identity: base `e1eb22bd59ce825e3a22e86433c30f7ffd833810`, head `0eec795cd1b46f7a28b9a1cc87ef8577619a731f`, tree `584eac551f880232896b898cc43156f28ae1bacb`, 7 commits, clean worktree.
 - Verified at `/var/folders/q_/68sxgw3j073dgjg8wl9s08vw0000gn/T/mam-review/loop-20261001T140030Z-34381f/1`. Main stayed at `e1eb22b`. No product file was edited.
 - `git diff --check b58edac..HEAD` is clean. That commit is 7 files, +128/−19: `lib.sh`, `envfile.py`, `mqtt_common.py`, the delegate-job wrapper, `.mam.env.example`, and the two issue-26 test files.
 `0eec795` closes the round-1 fail-open: a `.mam.env` that exists but cannot be read or decoded is `EnvFileError`, the `--shell` command exits 1, and the wrapper exits 1. NUL lines are skipped by the shared parser. `mam_int` uses ASCII whitespace and digits. An explicitly empty integer flag is refused.
 ## 1. Parser agreement
 `mqtt_common._parse_env_file` (`mqtt_common.py:98-104`) and the wrapper both call `envfile.apply` / `envfile.parse`. One table, both loaders.
 Rules in `envfile.py:3-12` and `.mam.env.example:14-25` match the code:
 | Input | Result |
 |---|---|
 | Blank line, `#` comment | skipped (`envfile.py:64-65`) |
 | Surrounding ASCII space, one matching quote pair | stripped; internal spaces kept (`envfile.py:80-83`) |
 | Mismatched quotes | kept |
 | Extra `=` | value keeps every `=` after the first (`envfile.py:69`) |
 | Empty value | kept |
 | `$(...)`, `${...}`, backticks | literal |
 | `export KEY=...` | skipped, `invalid key` (the key is `export KEY`) |
 | Reserved bash variables | skipped with the name, never the value (`envfile.py:77-79`) |
 | No `=`, or a key outside `^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$` | skipped with the line number (`envfile.py:71-76`) |
 | CRLF | `splitlines()` drops the CR |
 | A line containing a NUL byte | skipped, `{path}:{n}: skipped (NUL byte)` (`envfile.py:66-68`). The warning has no value. |
 | Whole-file `OSError` or `UnicodeDecodeError` | `EnvFileError: {path}: cannot read ({type name})` (`envfile.py:57-61`), `from None` so the message carries no bytes from the file |
 | Duplicate keys | both pairs returned; `apply` (`envfile.py:91-94`) sets the first, because the key is then already in the environment |
 `export KEY=` is what the old `source` accepted. Both loaders skip it, and the example says so (`.mam.env.example:21-23`). `deploy/install.sh:513-530` is an unquoted heredoc, so `$MAM_PORT`, `$MAM_CLIENT_PREFIX`, and `$HOME` expand before the parser sees the file. Uncommented example assignments contain no `$` or backticks (`test_a5`).
 A leading BOM is outside the example. `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` does not strip it, so line 1 fails the key check and the next line loads. Both loaders do that together.
 `tests/test_issue26_envfile.py` locks the two real loaders, including mode `000` and broken UTF-8 (`:154-178`, skipped only when euid is 0) and the NUL line (`:183-193`).
 ## 2. Wrapper eval
 The wrapper runs `python -I envfile.py --shell "$TARGET_ENV"` and evals stdout (`multi-agent-mux-delegate-job:37-45`). The command substitution captures stdout only, so the parser's stderr stays visible. Every printed line is `export NAME=<shlex.quote(value)>` for a key that passed `_KEY.fullmatch` and `is_reserved` (`envfile.py:74-83`, `112-113`). A value such as `BASH_VERSINFO[$(touch marker)0]` stays quoted text; the marker is not created (`test_a6`).
 Failure:
 - Missing interpreter: the substitution fails, the wrapper prints `ERROR: cannot load <path>` and exits 1 (`test_a1_an_unreadable_parser_fails_loudly`, `:138-146`).
 - Unreadable or undecodable file: `envfile.py` prints `ERROR: {path}: cannot read (PermissionError|UnicodeDecodeError)` and returns 1 (`envfile.py:107-109`); the wrapper then prints `ERROR: cannot load <path> (see the line above)` and exits 1 (`:43-44`). The test requires both lines and requires the value to be absent from stderr.
 - A missing file is still success with no exports (`envfile.py:103-104`, `test_a5` `:294-302`). The wrapper only enters this path when `[ -f "$TARGET_ENV" ]`.
 Python entry points take the same read failure. `_python_load` asserts a non-zero exit, no `LOADED`, and `EnvFileError` in stderr.
 ## 3. Environment wins over the file
 `apply` sets a key only when it is absent from the mapping (`envfile.py:92-94`). The shell side passes the process environment in, so a variable the wrapper already set, or one the caller exported, stays. Documented in `envfile.py:10`, the wrapper comment at `:37-40`, `.mam.env.example:24`, and `MESSAGING.md:366-369`.
 Effect of leaving `source` (which overwrote the environment):
 - The loop runner starts the wrapper with `dict(os.environ)` and sets `DELEGATE_JOB_PYTHON` to `sys.executable` when unset (`runner.py:548-550`), so the file cannot replace the runner's broker or interpreter.
 - The remote runner already used the Python loader, which had the same precedence.
 - Tests set `MQTT_BROKER` / `MQTT_PORT` / `MQTT_TLS` in the environment (`conftest.py:1568-1575`). The file can no longer point those back at another broker.
 - A stale shell export of `MQTT_*` is no longer overwritten on each wrapper start. That is the intended precedence. `install.sh` still expands its seed before the file exists.
 `test_a3` (`:230-238`) checks file `50` against environment `70` on a real dry-run record and on the Python loader.
 ## 4. Integer rule
 `mam_int` (`lib.sh:2345-2358`) builds its class from the six ASCII blanks `$ ' \t\n\r\v\f '` and the digits `0123456789`, strips leading zeros, forces base 10, and accepts `min <= n <= 999999999`. `runner._positive_int` (`runner.py:71-81`) strips the same six characters and requires `isascii()` and `isdigit()`. The expectation helper uses the same ASCII strip (`test_issue26_ints.py:88-96`).
 Minimums in `INT_KNOBS` (`:35-54`):
 - Minimum 1 (0 would close or idle out immediately): `MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S` 3600, `MAM_HEARTBEAT_SEC` 30, `MAM_HEARTBEAT_MISSES` 4, `MAM_ACK_TIMEOUT_S` 180, and the five flags `--timeout`, `--idle-timeout`, `--heartbeat`, `--heartbeat-misses`, `--ack-timeout`.
 - Minimum 0 (0 means check once or do not wait): `MAM_INJECT_ACK_GRACE_S`, `delegate_wait_started`'s `ack_s` (`lib.sh:2384`), `SKS_DIALOG_TIMEOUT` 30, `SKS_BUSY_TIMEOUT` 120, `SKS_DELIVERY_GRACE_S` 15, `SKS_QUIESCENT_TRIES` 20.
 An invalid environment value warns and uses the default (`mam_int_knob`, `lib.sh:2364-2369`). An invalid flag exits 1. `parse_opts` records that the flag was present (`:167-179`) and refuses an empty value (`:199-203`); the default applies only when the flag is absent. The space-padded token keeps `HEARTBEAT_SEC` distinct from `HEARTBEAT_MISSES`. `test_b2` includes the explicit empty string among the refused values (`:228-232`).
 Locale: `test_b1_unicode_blanks_and_digits_are_invalid_in_every_locale` (`:188-204`) runs U+2003, U+00A0, U+3000, and Arabic and fullwidth digits under `C` and `en_US.UTF-8`, through `mam_int`, `_positive_int`, the wrapper record, and the runner. All four reject them and keep the 3600 default.
 Three runner settings stay on their own Python conversions and do not reach bash arithmetic: `MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S` (`runner.py:627-628`, `isdigit` then `int`), `MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S` (`:748-749`, `float`), `MAM_JOB_TREE_MAX` (`:752`, `int`). They predate this integer rule. `NOT_ARITHMETIC` classifies the shell defaults that use `[ -ge ]` / `[ -le ]` / `sleep` / an argv, and on this host's bash 3.2 those `[` comparisons are decimal.
 ## 5. Local MQTT broker
 `tests/_local_mqtt.py` is an in-process MQTT 3.1.1 broker on `127.0.0.1:0`, daemon accept and connection threads (`:103-104`, `:139`), stopped by closing the listen socket and the live connections (`:107-120`). Scope is what the repo's clients use: protocol level 4, QoS 0/1, retained messages. QoS 2 closes the connection (`:190-191`).
 A PUBLISH is routed and, when retained, stored before PUBACK (`:196-200`). The session fixture (`conftest.py:1568-1584`) sets `MQTT_BROKER` / `MQTT_PORT` / `MQTT_TLS` and drops `MQTT_HOST` and the credential and certificate variables for the session, then restores them. `test_c0` waits for CONNACK, SUBACK, UNSUBACK, and PUBACK before it reads broker state, and it checks topic, payload, QoS, and the retain flag (`test_local_mqtt.py:100-130`). `test_c0_holds_when_the_broker_is_slow` (`:140-160`) delays CONNECT, UNSUBSCRIBE, and routing so a test that reads state before the ack fails. `test_c2` (`:297-310`) rejects the public-broker literal outside an allowlist and rejects a helper that drops `MQTT_BROKER` / `MQTT_HOST` without naming a replacement. `test_c0_publish_event_reaches_job_subscriber_over_the_local_broker` uses a `uuid4` topic prefix.
 Commit `2826e70` lists the moved cases: issue 18 acceptance 1/2/3/5, issue 6 `t1_1/2/7/8/14/15/16/20`, issue 19's two MQTT-loop cases, issue 33 `b3/r3/b7`, issue 30 `s9/s10/r2`, and calls that set 22. Those harnesses inject `local_broker_env()` and the "broker unreachable" skips are gone. `0eec795` does not touch the broker or those tests. This round's required run includes `tests/test_local_mqtt.py` and `tests/test_issue18_liveness_contract.py`; both are in the 174 passes below. Issue 6, 19, 30, and 33 were outside this brief's command.
 ## 6. The baseline-failure claim
 `tests/test_issue10_13_purge.py` is identical to `e1eb22b` (`git diff` empty). On this host, with `HOME` and `--basetemp` under `/tmp` and with MQTT variables unset:
 `23 passed in 11.62s`
 The claim that a full-suite run shows 13 failures of which 12 are this host's baseline in that file does not reproduce here. The tests use `tmp_path` sandboxes and `uuid4` conversation ids. Nothing under the real home was purged.
 ## 7. Design boundary
 The shell diff adds numeric parsing for clocks that already existed: `mam_int` / `mam_int_knob` on the job timeout, heartbeat, ack, inject grace, and the SKS dialog, busy, delivery, and quiescent counts (`lib.sh` around the `$(( $(date +%s) + $(mam_int_knob SKS_...) ))` deadlines). That is the decimal-integer rule, so `0700` is 700 and `0900` does not abort arithmetic.
 No new bash judgment of a timeout label, a budget extension, or a stall close landed in this range. `MAM_STALL_WATCH` stays a string compare (`NOT_ARITHMETIC`). Closing remains the existing clocks. Nothing here implements #30 or #33, and nothing needs to move back to the planner.
 ## Should Python entry points raise?
 Yes. A file that exists and cannot be read must stop the process. Warning and continuing would load an empty configuration and, when `MQTT_*` are unset, the public default broker. That is the fail-open `0eec795` removes, and it has to be the same in both loaders. `publish_event.main` calls `ensure_env_loaded()` after argument parsing and does not catch the exception (`publish_event.py:337`); the same call is the first environment step in `registry.main`, `job_subscriber.main`, `cli.main`, `bench.main`, and reconcile's embedded subscriber (`mqtt_common.py:113-115`). An agent whose `.mam.env` is unreadable then cannot publish `started` or `completed`, and the job closes on the clocks. That is the same outcome as refusing to run unconfigured.
 The wrapper prints one `ERROR` line and exits 1. The Python process exits with a traceback that names `EnvFileError` and the path and the exception type, and does not include the file body. That difference is acceptable. `_env_loaded = True` is set before `_load_dotenv` (`mqtt_common.py:123-124`), so a caller that caught the exception would not retry in-process. The entry points above do not catch it.
 ## Checks
 From the review snapshot, MQTT variables unset, no `.mam.env` exported, `AGENT_PYTHON_BIN` and the interpreter the pr-43 venv, `--basetemp` under `/tmp`:
 `174 passed in 208.02s` — `tests/test_issue26_envfile.py`, `tests/test_issue26_ints.py`, `tests/test_local_mqtt.py`, `tests/test_issue18_liveness_contract.py`, `tests/test_tier1_unit.py`.
 The full suite is the orchestrator's.
 ## Notes (non-blocking)
 - Duplicate keys in one file are first-wins (`envfile.py:91-94`). The old `source` was last-wins. Both loaders agree. The example states environment-over-file and does not mention a repeated key inside the file.
 - A `#` comment that also contains a NUL is skipped as a comment (`envfile.py:64-65` runs before the NUL check). A value line with a NUL still warns and is skipped.
 - `MESSAGING.md:369` still says a missing explicit `MAM_ENV_FILE` logs an error and connections fail closed with `RuntimeError`. `mqtt_common.py:51-54` returns without loading when that path is not a regular file, and this PR does not change that branch. A file that exists and cannot be read now raises, which is the contract under review.
 - `MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S`, `MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S`, and `MAM_JOB_TREE_MAX` remain outside `_positive_int` (section 4). They do not reach bash arithmetic.

 """The one `.mam.env` parser (Issue #26).
 Rules: blank lines and `#` comments are skipped; `KEY=VALUE` with the key and
 the value stripped; one matching pair of surrounding quotes is removed; no
 shell interpretation (`$(...)`, `${...}` and backticks stay literal). A key
 must match ``^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$`` and not be one of bash's own variables
 (RESERVED); a line that breaks either, or that has no `=`, is skipped with a
 warning naming the line (never the value — the file holds secrets). A line
 holding a NUL byte is skipped the same way (no environment can carry it).
 Variables already in the environment win over the file. A file that exists
 but cannot be read or decoded as a whole is an error (EnvFileError; the
 ``--shell`` command exits 1), not an empty configuration.
 Stdlib only: the delegate-job wrapper runs this file by path
 (``envfile.py --shell <path>``) and evals the ``export`` lines it prints, so
 values travel over a pipe, never on a command line.

 ## 📋 버전별 상세 변경 내역 (Changelog)
 ### 🚀 `v4.8.1` — Issue #26 `.mam.env` 를 Python 파서 하나로 읽고, 정수 설정값을 10진수로, 테스트를 로컬 MQTT 브로커로 (2026-10-02, PR #43)
 > **패치 (PATCH Release)**: 같은 `.mam.env` 를 delegate-job 래퍼는 bash `source` 로, Python 도구는 `KEY=VALUE` 로 읽어서, 한쪽에서 정상인 줄(`KEY= value`)이 다른 쪽에서 래퍼를 즉시 종료시키고 값 속 `$(...)` 는 실행되던 문제(Issue #26)를 고친다. 0 으로 시작하는 정수 설정값이 bash 에서 8진수로 읽히던 문제와, 공개 MQTT 브로커에 기대던 테스트도 함께 정리했다.
 #### 🌟 주요 개선 사항
 1. **파서는 하나 (`lib_py/delegation/envfile.py`, 래퍼, `mqtt_common.py`)**: 주석·빈 줄 무시, 키와 값의 앞뒤 공백 제거, 감싸는 따옴표 한 쌍 제거, 셸 해석 없음. 키는 `[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*`. 형식이 어긋난 줄, `export` 접두어, NUL 이 든 줄, bash 자체 변수(`IFS`, `PS4`, `RANDOM`, `BASH_*` 등)는 값 없이 줄 번호로 경고하고 건너뛴다. 래퍼는 `source` 대신 파서가 만든 셸 인용 `export` 문을 eval 한다. 이미 있는 환경변수가 파일보다 우선한다(전에는 래퍼만 파일이 덮어썼다). 존재하지만 읽을 수 없는 파일은 오류다: 래퍼는 rc 1, Python 진입점은 `EnvFileError` 로 멈춘다.
 2. **정수 설정값은 10진수 (`lib.sh` `mam_int`/`mam_int_knob`, `runner.py` `_positive_int`)**: `MAM_JOB_TIMEOUT_S=0700` 이 래퍼에서 448 초가 되던 문제. 한 규칙(ASCII 공백·숫자만, 10진수, 유효 9 자리 이하, 값별 최솟값)을 로케일과 무관하게 적용한다. 잘못된 환경변수는 경고 후 기본값, 잘못되거나 빈 값으로 명시한 플래그는 rc 1.
 3. **테스트가 외부 브로커에 기대지 않는다 (`tests/_local_mqtt.py`)**: 공개 `broker.hivemq.com` 왕복에 기대던 테스트 22 개를 테스트 안의 로컬 MQTT 3.1.1 브로커로 옮겼다. "브로커에 닿지 않음" 건너뛰기는 실패가 됐고, 정적 검사가 공개 브로커 주소의 재유입을 막는다.
 4. **문서**: `.mam.env.example` 머리말에 형식 규칙과 우선순위.
 #### ✅ 품질 검증
 - **신규 테스트**: `tests/test_issue26_envfile.py`(두 실제 로더의 같은 입력·같은 결과, 예약 변수, 읽기 실패·NUL, 래퍼에서 명령 미실행), `tests/test_issue26_ints.py`(래퍼·lib.sh·러너의 정수 규칙 표, 두 로케일), `tests/test_local_mqtt.py`(로컬 브로커의 3.1.1 적합성과 실제 publish_event → job_subscriber 경로).
 - **리뷰 (병합 워크스페이스)**: 1회차(@b58edac) claude·agy PASS, codex NOT PASS(R1 읽을 수 없는 파일인데 래퍼가 rc 0 으로 기본값 진행, R2 로케일에 따라 bash·Python 의 정수 해석이 다름, R3 빈 값으로 명시한 정수 플래그가 검증을 우회, R4 NUL 이 든 값을 두 로더가 다르게 처리), grok 은 컨텍스트 압축 중 응답 시간 초과로 판정 없음(늦게 낸 리포트도 R1 과 같은 지적). 0eec795 에서 네 건과 claude 비차단 R1·R2(문서·메시지)를 고치고 회귀 테스트 8 건(모두 수정 전 코드에서 실패)을 추가. 2회차(@0eec795, grok 은 PR 전체) **4/4 PASS**. 네 리뷰어 모두 "읽을 수 없는 파일이면 Python 진입점도 멈춘다"에 동의. 리포트와 identity 사이드카는 `.agents/reports/<session>/`.
 - **전체 스위트 (병합 워크스페이스, 브로커 환경변수 없이)**: 0eec795 전체 1315 passed / 1 failed / 3 skipped(60 분, MQTT 환경변수 없이). 실패 1건은 `test_issue21_acceptance.py::test_a8` 로 이 PR 과 무관한 날짜 의존 테스트 버그(main 에서도 같음, 아래 후속). 1회차 head b58edac 전체도 1302 passed / 같은 1건 실패. 공개 브로커 때문에 실패하거나 건너뛴 테스트 없음. PR 본문의 "purge 12건 기준 실패"는 이 호스트에서 재현되지 않음.
 - **후속**: Python 진입점의 `EnvFileError` 를 트레이스백 대신 `ERROR:` 한 줄로(claude S1); 파일 첫 줄의 BOM 이 "잘못된 키"로 건너뛰어짐(grok); 한 파일 안 중복 키는 첫 값이 이김 — 문서화(grok); `MESSAGING.md` 의 "없는 `MAM_ENV_FILE` 은 오류" 설명이 실제(조용히 건너뜀)와 다름(grok); `MAM_WAIT_GRACE_S`·`MAM_CHILD_WAIT_S`·`MAM_JOB_TREE_MAX` 를 `_positive_int` 로(grok); `[ -ge ]` 전용 노브의 비숫자 값(claude R3); `mam_int` 와 플래그 검증을 #17 항목 4 이전 목록에(claude R5); `test_issue21_acceptance.py::test_a8` 가 매달 1~9 일에 실패 — 테스트가 마커에 쓰는 `ps -o lstart` 의 두 칸 공백(`Oct  1`)을 제품 코드처럼 한 칸으로 줄이지 않는다(제품 동작은 정상).
 ### 🚀 `v4.8.0` — Issue #33 위임 잡 예산 조절과 벽시계 라벨 분리, Issue #30 멈춘 에이전트 알림(알림 전용) (2026-09-26, PR #41)
 > **마이너 마일스톤 (MINOR Release)**: 위임 잡의 벽시계 예산(기본 3600 초)을 조절할 수 없고 벽시계 초과와 무응답이 같은 `deadline_timeout` 으로 기록되던 문제(Issue #33)와, 살아 있지만 멈춘 에이전트(권한 확인 창에 막힘, 종결 이벤트 없이 턴 종료)를 잡 제한 시간이 지나야만 알 수 있던 문제(Issue #30)를 한 브랜치로 고쳤다. 새 모듈 `lib_py/stall_watch.py`, 루프 옵션 `--job-timeout`, 새 종결 사유 `wall_clock_timeout`, 구독자 종료 코드 4 가 추가되어 MINOR 로 올린다. 예산 **연장**은 범위에서 빼고 #39(에이전트가 프로토콜 이벤트로 요청)로 분리했다.

 """Issue #26 - a test-only, in-process MQTT 3.1.1 broker.
 The suite used to round-trip through the public default broker
 (mqtt_common.BrokerConfig.host). conftest starts one of these per session on
 127.0.0.1 and points MQTT_BROKER/MQTT_PORT/MQTT_TLS at it, so every real
 producer (publish_event, job_subscriber, the wrapper, the remote runner, the
 monitor daemon) talks to a broker the test process owns.
 Scope is what the repo uses: paho-mqtt 2.x clients with its defaults
 (protocol level 4 = 3.1.1, clean session, no will), QoS 0/1, retained
 messages. No TLS, no auth checks, no persistent sessions, no QoS 2, no
 redelivery of unacknowledged QoS 1 messages. The name does not start with
 `test_`, so pytest never collects it.

 minimum, and INT_KNOBS below is the one place that minimum is written.
