The R1 grace after a subscriber idle timeout only continued while herdr
reported `working` or the pane showed a busy token, and gave up the moment
that evidence vanished. Two live jobs in the v4.4.2 review loop were closed
as deadline_timeout that way: a grok review whose heartbeat gap was 147 s,
and the creator running the full suite in a background shell (idle to herdr,
no busy token) while publishing progress every 45 s. Both later published
`completed`, which the terminal record refused.
- `_recent_disk_heartbeat`: publish_event appends every event to the job's
events.log before the wire publish, so a heartbeat the subscriber never saw
is still on disk; treat one at most IDLE_TIMEOUT old as liveness
- R1 loop: any evidence (herdr working, pane busy token, disk heartbeat)
opens a new IDLE_TIMEOUT window; a job with no evidence for a whole window
is closed as before, still inside the wall clock
- test: a human-agent job whose subscriber idles out stays open across five
disk heartbeats and picks up the out-of-band completion (rc 0)
- VERSIONS.md v4.4.2 item 6 and test count updated

The ls translation searched stderr and the whole stdout for the substring
server_not_running, so a successful `agent list` that merely carried the text
(an agent named server_not_running-codex, or metadata) made the shim report
"no server running". reconcile.sh reads that as a confirmed-empty server, and
drift A would then mark every live row on it terminated (codex review of
0918917).
- keep the RPC exit code and translate only a failed call whose error
envelope (the whole stream or any line of it) has
error.code == "server_not_running"; every other failure keeps the unknown
path (nonzero exit, herdr_confirmed False) as before
- tests: the real herdr 0.9 envelope, a successful list carrying the
substring in a name and in metadata, other failures staying unknown, and
reconcile keeping both live rows with no drift A; the new cases fail on
0918917
- delegate wrapper: log a non-pending status seen during the inject ack
grace as "registry advanced" instead of attributing it to the agent
- VERSIONS.md v4.4.2: describe the structured check and count 16 new tests

PATCH release for the fix/issue-9-14 branch (Issue #9 herdr server env
isolation, Issue #14 accepted-prompt delivery confirmation). No code logic
changes.
- lib.sh MAM_VERSION, lib_py/loop/eager.py FRAMEWORK_VERSION and the eight
SKILL.md frontmatters (create, stop, resume, status, monitor, delegate-job,
loop, orc-onboard) move from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2
- VERSIONS.md: current release v4.4.2 (2026-09-12 KST), the eight-row skill
matrix, and a v4.4.2 changelog section in the v4.4.1 format covering the
server env marker denylist, MAM_NO_AUTOSTART, the shim ls "no server
running" translation, SKS_DELIVERY_GRACE_S, MAM_INJECT_ACK_GRACE_S, the R1
pane busy-token grace, the T1-7 trigger change and the 13 new tests
- README, README.ko, BOOTSTRAP and BOOTSTRAP.ko badges and the MESSAGING.md
"Applies to" header follow the current version; historical 4.4.1 mentions
(v4.4.1 changelog, IMPROVEMENTS.md ledger, docs/contracts/issue-6, reviewer
reports) stay as history

The R1 grace after a subscriber idle timeout only asked herdr whether the
agent was still `working`. herdr never reports that for codex, so a codex
review longer than the idle timeout was closed as deadline_timeout mid-turn
and its eventual `completed` refused - the same status blindness behind the
agent_blocked misjudgement. `_agent_still_working` now also accepts the pane's
own busy token, the evidence send_keys_safe already uses to confirm delivery.
Adds a wrapper test where a codex-like agent (idle per herdr, busy per pane)
idles out the subscriber and completes out of band afterwards.

- Drop per-session agent runtime markers (CLAUDECODE, CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION,
CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID, Claude Code messaging/bridge/pid markers, and the
agy/hermes/grok/opencode session ids) from the environment lib.sh's shim hands
to a bootstrapped `herdr --session <name> server`; user configuration such as
CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR still inherits
- Add MAM_NO_AUTOSTART=1 so query-only callers never bootstrap a server as a side
effect; status.sh and reconcile.sh export it, and the shim's `ls` reports a down
server as "no server running" so reconcile keeps herdr_confirmed instead of
freezing drift detection for every server
- send_keys_safe: treat `timeout` / `agent_prompt_stalled` from `agent prompt
--wait` as an accepted submission and confirm delivery for SKS_DELIVERY_GRACE_S
(default 15 s) via agent_status working, a busy token the pane did not show
before, or the pane moving on from its pre-submit snapshot; no signal at all
still fails closed (rc 4). Codex under herdr 0.9.0 never reports `working`, so
every delivered prompt was closed as agent_blocked and its later
started/completed events refused
- delegate wrapper: before closing an unconfirmed inject as agent_blocked, honour
the registry's own acknowledgement for MAM_INJECT_ACK_GRACE_S (default 10 s)
- Switch T1-7's failure trigger to transport_error (timeout now means accepted);
add test_issue9_server_env.py (5 cases) and test_issue14_delivery_ack.py (7)
- Verified live: a freshly bootstrapped multi-agent-mux server carries no markers
and the claude panes save transcripts again; codex job d04ebcb5 had its
started/completed accepted with no agent_blocked

Issue #5 (Python core migration, CAS state transitions, shadow watcher,
auto-completion gate, eager-import immutable runtime, B-13 freeze removal)
is complete and merged to main. This stamps the release.
SemVer: MINOR, not MAJOR. The change is large but breaks nothing. Across the
whole Issue #5 range there are zero file deletions and zero renames, the event
wire schema stays at SCHEMA_VERSION 1, all four literal script paths survive as
compatibility shims, the 968-line legacy shell loop is still in run_loop.sh,
and every default change reverts through a single environment variable
(MAM_DELEGATION_PY / MAM_ENGINE_CAS / MAM_LOOP_PY / MAM_LOOP_FREEZE). The
riskiest new feature, auto-completion, ships default-off. No operator has
anything to migrate, which is the decisive reason not to call it 5.0.0. The
reasoning is recorded in the VERSIONS.md release notes, not just here.
Close a gap in the lockstep guard. lib.sh exports MAM_VERSION and eager_load()
refuses to start the loop when it disagrees with FRAMEWORK_VERSION, so eager.py
is a load-bearing fourth leg — but test_version_consistency.py only checked
three, and the sole check on eager.py was a hardcoded literal in the phase 4
test that a release bump has to edit anyway. The lockstep test now covers
eager.py, a new test pins the fail-closed gate itself, and the phase 4 test no
longer carries a version literal.
Fix a latent test-isolation defect the bump exposed. The first full run failed
four tests with "MAM_VERSION mismatch: expected 4.4.0, got 4.3.0 in
environment" — 4.3.0 was not in the tree, it was inherited from the shell that
launched pytest and had sourced the pre-bump lib.sh. Those tests were measuring
the runner's shell rather than the tree under test, and only passed until now
because the two values always happened to agree. A session-scoped fixture drops
the ambient value. Production is unaffected: run_loop.sh:17 sources lib.sh
before anything else and lib.sh re-exports MAM_VERSION unconditionally, so a
stale inherited value is always overwritten before Python starts.
Full suite: 750 passed in 912.50s, 0 failed, 0 skipped.

Three reviewers examined fc0bd96..8def235. Codex and Claude each reproduced a
defect; all three findings were re-verified here before being accepted, and none
were rebutted.
R1 (codex) — the shell helpers ran `python -m lib_py.delegation.cli`. For -m,
sys.path[0] is the working directory, which therefore beats PYTHONPATH: with cwd
inside a tree containing lib_py, the live package won even with the frozen path
listed first. The documented B-13 guarantee for this path did not hold.
Reproduced, then replaced with an explicit bootstrap that inserts SKILL_DIR
itself. cwd is left alone, because the registry and audit-log paths are relative
to it. The file-based shim path was never affected.
R2 (codex) — the persistent connection was reused on host and port alone. Two
jobs sharing an endpoint but carrying different credentials or TLS settings
silently published over the first connection. Reproduced (the client factory ran
once, under the first account, with TLS off). The guard now compares an
immutable snapshot of the whole connection identity and names only the differing
field, never its value.
F-1 (claude) — paho queues a publish issued while disconnected and raises
RuntimeError from wait_for_publish. RuntimeError is deliberately outside the
retry tuple, so the one state a persistent connection exists to survive, the gap
between a drop and paho's reconnect, failed on the first attempt. Confirmed
against paho 2.1.0. That single condition is now translated into a retryable
error; the tuple is unchanged, so genuine programming errors are still not
retried.
Two fixtures were hiding these: FakeInfo had no rc and never raised. It now
mirrors paho's contract, which is what makes the new tests meaningful.
Also folds in the duplication both Claude (O-1) and I had flagged: the CLI path
kept its own copy of connect-publish-disconnect plus its own timeout constants.
_publish_once now delegates to OneShotPublisher.publish_raw, so a transport fix
lands once. Having two copies is exactly why these bugs existed in one of them.
Documentation corrected rather than defended: the benchmark's rationale for
keeping three forks was imprecise (the || true already guarantees rc 0; the
lookup buys quietness and legacy parity), SKILL.md no longer claims PYTHONPATH
decides the frozen path, and the daemon's directory creation is recorded as a
deliberate difference. Trailing whitespace inherited by the relocated file is
stripped, so the commit range is now clean too.
Verified: each regression fails against the pre-fix code and passes after
(R1 1, R2 4, F-1 1). 66 phase-1 tests pass.

Records the measured numbers and syncs every document that names the
delegation script paths, then bumps the framework to 4.3.0 in the three-way
lockstep (lib.sh, VERSIONS.md current + matrix, eight SKILL.md frontmatters).
phase1-benchmark.md carries both arms. The deterministic fake transport is what
CI asserts on: 50 publishes cost 50 connections one-shot and 1 persistent, p50
54.813ms -> 0.002ms. The real broker run is informational, since the PoC
default is a public broker: p50 1892.728ms -> 275.992ms, about 85% off.
It also corrects the plan's own estimate rather than repeating it. D8 predicted
the new shell path would drop from 3 forks to 2; the implementation is still 3,
because keeping the `_delegate_script publish_event.py` lookup is the only
thing that produces the "missing script tree does nothing" non-fatal contract
that C-02 pins. Saving that fork would change the contract, so it is deferred
to phase 4 rather than taken quietly.
SKILL.md gains the context table saying which tree wins where, so an operator
reading it knows a frozen loop runs frozen delegation code. The script paths in
every document remain correct and every quoted command still works verbatim.

The four delegation scripts become a real package. Their old paths stay as
shims because those paths are a wire contract: agent instructions, the bash
wrapper, SKILL.md, BOOTSTRAP.md, deploy/install.sh and three test modules all
call them literally.
The shim binds the lib_py.delegation *package* to the tree beside it, once per
process, and never touches sys.path. Two cheaper designs were rejected with
evidence (the context matrix now lives in the test suite):
* inserting the sibling skills dir at sys.path[0] makes the first sandbox
copy imported under pytest shadow lib_py.agents/layout/state for the whole
session, and the identity assertion cannot see it -- `is` proves same
object, not same tree.
* loading only the named module by file path leaves a module that imports
siblings pulling them from whichever tree is on the path, so a frozen
publish_event ran against live dependencies and lost half of B-13.
Binding the package fixes both: one tree for all delegation modules, the parent
lib_py untouched, and a sys.path append only when no lib_py exists anywhere
(true standalone). Bind-once rather than nearest-wins, because rebinding would
split existing references and break monkeypatching.
Also moves the env-file load off import (_load_dotenv -> ensure_env_loaded,
called by each process entry point including reconcile.sh's embedded
subscriber), so importing the library no longer mutates os.environ.
Verified: PV-1 identity+provenance, PV-4's ten import scenarios plus K1/K3/K6
in fresh interpreters, PV-5 shim byte-identity, an AST check that the package
imports no sibling lib_py module, and --help output diffed against the
pre-move capture.
