has_artifacts counted only the paths a purge may remove. When all that was
left lay behind a linked dir, `purge claude <uuid>` (or auto) found no
adapter and exited 5 with an empty residual, hiding the path the purge
had refused to follow. has_artifacts now counts every candidate; _inside
still decides what is removed, so the CLI exits 0, removes nothing and
lists the linked path as residual.

_is_uuid took an uppercase or mixed-case uuid, and the paths built from it
are the live lowercase session's own files on macOS's default
case-insensitive APFS. The in-use checks compare exactly, though: session
files and command lines carry the lowercase id, so `purge claude <UPPER>`
found no holder and could remove a live session's files. _canonical now
lowercases a canonical uuid, and the paths, the session-file and job
matches, the in-use check and the residual all use it; a command line is
searched for both spellings.

json.load reads a huge integer as an int, and math.isfinite raised
OverflowError on it outside any try: conversation_in_use and purge_artifacts
(which must never raise) threw, where 6f4f40a had taken it as live. The
conversion to float now comes first, and an overflow means live.

The refusal pointed at ~/.claude/sessions/ for every agent, whatever
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR said, and never mentioned a non-agent process naming the
uuid on its command line. The in-use CLI now prints, on stderr while the
conversation is in use, the adapter's in_use_hints: for every adapter
`ps -axww | grep <uuid>`, and for claude its real sessions/ dir first. stop
prints them under its refusal, and says "records preserved" instead of
"no state was modified": the gate runs after the kill chain, so the session
itself may already be down. SKILL.md's exit 4 row says the same; it is not
a code block, so no inventory hash moves.

time.mktime read ps's local lstart, which is ambiguous in the hour a DST
change repeats: the start could come out an hour off and a live holder be
taken for a reused pid (or the reverse). ps now runs with TZ=UTC0, which BSD
ps and procps both honour, and calendar.timegm reads it. No /proc.

float("NaN") and a JSON NaN passed the old check, and every comparison with
NaN is false, so a live holder looked like a reused pid: the in-use gate let
the purge through and the session file was taken as stale. startedAt must
now be an int or float (not bool), finite and positive; anything else cannot
be told and counts as live. A dead pid is still stale whatever it says.

A tmp-root entry <key> linking outside made `<key>/<uuid>` look like a plain
directory, and rmtree removed what lay behind the link; projects/<key>,
file-history/ and the other config dirs had no such check either. Each
candidate now keeps the root it was found under (config, projects or tmp),
and is purged only when every component between that root and the leaf is a
real directory and its parent resolves inside the resolved root. A root may
itself be a link (/tmp -> /private/tmp), a leaf link is still removed as the
link alone, and a candidate behind a link is reported as residual instead.

projects/<key>/memory/ (Claude Code's auto memory) sits beside the session
dirs, and `purge claude memory` removed it whole. Only an 8-4-4-4-12 hex id
now reaches the session's directories, session files, jobs and tmp dirs. Any
other id keeps the pre-#31 reach, the `<id>.jsonl` file alone (test_a4 still
purges "uuid-c"); its residual is that file and nothing holds it in use.
The shared _plausible_id is unchanged for the other adapters.

The adapter's fixed /tmp fallback is now a module constant. The new tests
point it, TMPDIR, TMP and TEMP at the test's own dirs, in the test process
and (through a sitecustomize on PYTHONPATH) in every python a test starts,
so no test lists the real /tmp/claude-<uid> any more (Mac review, PR #59).

stop resolves the uuid before it purges, through lib.sh's exported
CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR and DiscoveryContext.claude_dir, both of which defaulted
to $HOME/.claude/projects. With CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR alone the transcript under
<cfg>/projects was not found, so stop removed the row and purged nothing.
Both defaults are now ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-<home>/.claude}/projects; an
explicit CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR still wins.

SKILL.md lines 52 and 83 still said a purge leaves a `terminated` row. The
two blocks' inventory shas move with them (#42), and so does the
passthrough line of stop's heredoc SystemExit(1) (310 -> 327, after the
process gate). Line counts are unchanged, so no other block moves.

A session file is what ties a pid's key file to the session, and a job's
state.json what ties the job dir: removing them first left the rest
unattributable after a partial failure (residual: none, and a retry could
not find it). Keys now go before their session file, which stays while any
key does; a job dir is emptied with state.json last and kept if anything
stays. residual lists a session file's key files (masked). A startedAt of 0
or less cannot tell a reused pid and counts as live; the sessions/ listdir
no longer raises.

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR moves claude's whole config root, sessions/ included, so a
live session started under it was not seen and a stopped one left
file-history and the rest behind. The config root is now CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR,
else <home>/.claude; the purge and residual scans look at ctx.claude_dir and
the root's own projects/, each once. The test guard drops the variable for
every test like the other agent-home variables (test_issue55 l1 requires
every *_DIR the adapters read to be accounted for).

The prose said a purge leaves a `terminated` row; the code removes it, and
the monitor never marks a stopped row. The step-5 list names what a claude
purge removes. The two code blocks (lines 52, 83) still say `terminated`:
changing them changes their inventory sha, which waits for approval.

Their purge is unchanged; what it leaves is now reported: codex names and

A closed herdr session is not an exited agent, and the `herdr already dead`
path ran no check at all, so stop could remove the files of a live claude
and then its row. New `python -m lib_py.agents in-use <agent> <uuid> [ws]
[--wait s]` gives the purge CLI's own verdict; stop asks it outside the
registry lock and, unless it answers free, exits 4 with nothing changed.

stop called purge_artifacts only. It now prints `WARN residual: <path>` for

claude had no residual_artifacts, so a purge always printed `residual: none`.
It now reports names holding the uuid under ~/.claude (projects excluded),
in projects two levels deep, in the tmp roots, plus the owned jobs dir and
session files. Shared files (history.jsonl, ~/.claude.json) are not
reported: they always mention every session. scan_names goes to base.py.

The claude purge removed only <uuid>.jsonl. It now removes everything the
session alone owns: projects/<key>/<uuid>/, file-history/<uuid>/,
session-env/<uuid>/, jobs/<uuid[:8]>/ when its state.json names the session,
a stale sessions/<pid>.json with that pid's key file (name only, never read)
and <tmp>/claude-<uid>/*/<uuid>/. An id that is empty, all dots or holds
/, .. or * builds no path. has_artifacts finds leftovers without the transcript,
and conversation_in_use also sees a live claude through sessions/<pid>.json
(a `claude -c` names no uuid on its command line); a reused pid is told
apart by ps lstart against the file's startedAt.

A registry directory that is itself a symlink got two audit logs: submit
resolved --registry-dir with pwd -P and wrote next to the target, while logs
derived the sibling from the link path. sibling_logs_dir() now takes the
registry's realpath; an explicit DELEGATE_JOB_LOGS_DIR still wins.
Also: forwarded_keys() normalises both sides of its comparison, and the
design doc's status row lists the audit log next to the registry.

The record (status, token, attempt, transition_seq) was read before the
audit status.json; if A error -> redispatch (attempt 2) -> B completed
happened in between, the audit terminal was B's while the token and attempt
validated were A's, and A's caller was told "completed". The audit status
is now taken only when a fresh read of the record still shows the same
token, attempt and transition_seq; otherwise the job stays pending and the
next round reads both afresh. The no-record case is unchanged.

cmd_logs always passed the wrapper's cwd-relative default registry, so the
usual run (registry not moved, cwd not the workspace) no longer found its

MAM_JOBS_DIR, then WORKSPACE_ROOT, then the cwd.

control_plane and status.sh imported sibling_logs_dir from mqtt_common,
which imports paho at module level, so create/resume's binding and status
died on an interpreter without paho-mqtt (_delegate_py_bin's last fallback
is the PATH's python3). The registry/audit-log path rules move to
lib_py/delegation/logroot.py (standard library only) and mqtt_common
re-exports them. The package's own import chain also reached paho through
service -> publish_event -> publisher, so mqtt_common and publisher import
paho tolerantly and make_client() refuses with a clear error when a broker
is actually needed. control_plane, status.sh, lib.sh's delegate_publish_cmd
and delegate_logs_dir, and the wrapper's _logs_dir_abs import from logroot.

A worktree creator's binding always differs from its --workspace default,
so prefix() put DELEGATE_JOB_LOGS_DIR=<control root>/.mam/delegate_job_logs
into every such pane for good, and the env-first rule then kept an
experiment's --registry-dir from moving its audit log. forwarded_keys()
leaves that key out when it equals the sibling of mam_jobs_dir; a
non-sibling (explicit) root is forwarded as before. describe(), the forward
and whitespace checks and the row's four keys are unchanged.

_check_disk_fallback converted transition_seq outside its try, so a
status.json whose sequence is not an integer would raise out of the
subscriber's main loop; such a status is now ignored with a warning, like a
stale one. delegate_started_recorded returned 1 before looking at the
registry's events.log when the audit-log root could not be resolved; it now
skips only the audit check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The audit mirror is written after the registry commits, so a redispatched
record (attempt 2, pending) can sit next to attempt 1's completed
status.json, and a failed mirror leaves it there. The fallback validated the
token and attempt against the record, which say nothing about the audit
status's provenance, and closed attempt 2 with attempt 1's completion
(review P1, Issue #57). A versioned record (transition_seq) now takes the
audit status only when its transition_seq is at least as new; an audit
status without a sequence cannot prove which attempt it describes and is
ignored by a versioned record. An unversioned record (never transitioned,
or MAM_ENGINE_CAS=0) and a missing record keep the old rule.
Regressions: the redispatch/flush interval, the failed-mirror leftover, the
unversioned audit status, a newer audit-only terminal, and conflict
refusals and legacy claims next to a moved registry.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
engine._flush computed the registry's audit-log root but did not pass it to
the conflict_refused append, and _pick_pending_legacy did the same for its
status_changed append, so both landed in the workspace default when the
registry was moved and no override was set (review P2, Issue #57).

read_logged_status() returns the status.json dict; _check_disk_fallback
compared that dict with the terminal status strings, so a terminal status
recorded only in the audit log was never recognised (Issue #57, comment 5).

Both get_job_status implementations (JSON and text) try the
delegate_job_logs next to MAM_JOBS_DIR and the row's mam_jobs_dir after the
explicit log roots, so a job whose registry record was cleaned up still
shows its audit-only terminal status when the registry was moved.

from_env() fills delegate_job_logs_dir with the delegate_job_logs next to
the resolved mam_jobs_dir unless DELEGATE_JOB_LOGS_DIR is set, so a session
created with only MAM_JOBS_DIR moved no longer records the workspace's old
log root. worktree_prepare.sh passes DELEGATE_JOB_LOGS_DIR on only when the
caller set it. lib.sh and the delegate-job wrapper no longer carry a bash
copy of the default: delegate_publish_cmd, delegate_started_recorded and
_logs_dir_abs resolve it with get_logs_dir(<registry>), the wrapper fails
closed when it cannot, exports the resolved root to its children, prints
it as submit's last line, and logs takes --registry-dir.

get_logs_dir(registry_dir) resolves the audit-log root as the
delegate_job_logs next to the registry in use when DELEGATE_JOB_LOGS_DIR
is not set; sibling_logs_dir() is the pure sibling rule. Every writer and
reader that knows its registry (registry, engine, publish_event, remote,
job_subscriber, reconcile.sh, the loop runner's fingerprint exclusion)
passes that root instead of falling back to the workspace default.

A `default` scan runs without -L, so the shim answers it from the inherited

`default`, and since create adopts only a row of its own server (1e25cf2f

open_jobs reports a live pending record nobody signals on as `injected`:
its producer registered and injected it without a waiter (create
--onboard, a job sent by hand), so it holds the session like a running or
admitted job, and a waiter of the same second with a lower job id, or one
registered a moment earlier and still in its preflight, no longer passes
it in the FIFO. The waiter signals on its own record before its first
scan, so its record is never mistaken for one.
lib_py.pane_lock resolves the shim's ambient target (no -L,
HERDR_SESSION_NAME empty or `default`) to the server of the pane the
caller runs in - HERDR_SESSION, else HERDR_SOCKET_PATH's layout, as
lib.sh _herdr_caller_server reads them - so an ambient and a named call
into one server claim under one lock; outside a pane it stays the
default server's.
Tests: u2h (the tie, the later-registered onboarding, the signalled
control), u1/u4 labels, c10 forces the same-second registration, p1b,
s2 (real herdr: held lock stops both call forms; mixed concurrent calls
take distinct panes). Two FIFO fixtures now carry a waiter's signal.

The registry wait judged its record by one rule: not this attempt's
pending record in this session -> superseded (redispatched, moved or
closed by someone else). That also caught the record's own `started`
landing before the prompt went out - the Issue #14 registry ack winning
over an unreachable broker, as test_issue30_stall_watch_stop acknowledges
at registration - and the wrapper left on exit 5 instead of its
broker_unavailable path (rc 3).
A record that is running under this attempt's token in this session is
this attempt's own progress: the waiter answers `clear` at once, writes
no admission and starts no hold. Another token, another session or a
terminal status stay `superseded` (review 55219be1 R1 unchanged).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three `create --onboard` at once into one folder (the control root, so no
control-plane prefix reaches the pane and the shim reuses an idle pane):
the shim's new-session chooses a pane - an idle one in a workspace on the
same cwd, a split, a fresh workspace's root pane - and then claims it with
`agent start`; two shims could choose the pane one of them had just made,
and the later start failed with agent_pane_busy (one create in three).
mam_herdr now runs every new-session call holding one lock per server: a
flock on fd 9, opened for the block and taken by lib_py.pane_lock, which
also bounds the wait (MAM_PANE_CLAIM_WAIT_S, default 120). It is released
with the block or with the process, however it ends. The shim heredoc is
unchanged (S11). Other servers' creates are not held.
Serialising the claims exposed a second race: a create's end-of-run
`reconcile.sh --once` adopted the pane of another create that had not yet
written its row, and that create refused its own name as already running
(exit 4). Such a row - registered by the monitor, no job, for a pane
created after this create began - is now replaced, not refused.
Tests: real herdr - shim-level and create-level three-way races into one
folder (the real herdr's pane-creating replies held back so the window is
hit on every run; both fail on the base with the orchestrator's error),
the different-folder test kept; pane_lock unit tests (per-server file,
timeout, kill -9 holder, handover, knob); the adoption rule and its three
refusals; shim contract h26 (held lock: no pane calls). The herdr box gets
a ~/.zshrc: without it every first `agent start` typed into zsh's first-run
menu and timed out at 30 s.

R1: wait-open-jobs takes --dispatch-token (the token the wrapper read for
this attempt) and keeps it, with the session it asked about, for its whole
life; every write (signal, admission, the hold's renewal) is a guarded
engine merge that re-reads the record under the registry lock and refuses
once the record is not that attempt's pending one in that session. A record
redispatched, moved or closed by someone else makes the waiter answer
`superseded`: the bash wrapper exits 5 without a close, the record is its
new owner's. hold-admission is given the waiter's pinned identity instead
of reading a token from disk, so a hold that starts late holds nothing.
R2: a pending record that never carried a waiter's signal (create --onboard
registers and injects directly and waits ack_timeout_sec for `started`) is
live for that budget from created_at, not for the 30 s signal window; the
window applies only once a dispatcher has signalled.
Tests: u1 rows for the two pending lifetimes, u3b asserts the guard, u3f/u3g/u3h
(cross-session redispatch, in-place attempt change, token changed before the
waiter started) with the real waiter subprocess, u4e/u4f (late hold, running
hold released by a redispatch), s1 pins the token argument and the no-close
branch; real herdr C10 (onboarding valid before and after 30 s blocks the
session), C11 (expired onboarding is stale), C12 (redispatched waiter leaves
its record alone, exit 5).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
F1: `clear` is now an admission persisted on the released record - a merge
through the engine whose new `guard` re-reads the session's open jobs under
the registry lock, so two waiters cannot both be admitted. It is scoped to
the attempt by the dispatch token (a redispatch voids it) and reported as
`admitted` to every other waiter, which holds the session as a running job
does, whatever its FIFO place: a lower id in the same second or a
redispatched older loop job now waits.
F2: a pending record's liveness window is the dispatcher's signal cadence
times three misses (10 s x 3 = 30 s), no longer ack_timeout_sec, which the
agent's budget takes down to 1 s. After `clear` a detached hold renews the
admitted record's signal until the record leaves pending, its attempt
changes, the wrapper is gone, or the wall clock ends.
Tests: u1 boundaries, u1d/u2e/u2f/u2g/u3d/u3e for the admission, u4c/u4d for
the hold, s1 pins --hold; real herdr: C3/C7/C8 adjusted, C9 is C8's
live-owner counterpart with short ack windows.

The `--status pending` reset is a redispatch and issues a new dispatch
token, but the loop read `_disp_tok` only after the registry and idle waits.
A busy or idle_wait close from phase two on therefore carried the previous
phase's token and the engine refused it, leaving the record pending while
the caller saw session_busy. The read now follows the reset directly; s1
pins reset < token read < registry wait.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
F1: from phase two on, the loop's `_registry_wait` ran before the record was
reset to pending, so the waiter held a terminal record: the engine refused its
dispatch_wait_at merge and other waiters never saw it in the FIFO. The wait
(and the idle wait after it) now follows the `--status pending` update; s1
pins the order and u3c shows why a terminal self record cannot signal.
F2: the real-herdr box teardown survives a hung stop/delete, kills a server
bootstrapped by a late client call, and asserts the server and HOME are gone.
F3: the delegate-job SKILL.md exit 5 row names the registry wait.
Also drops the dead loop in s1.

20 s idle wait was injected, not cancelled. The 2026-10-04 observation
(0.9.1, 10+ min of `working`) does not reproduce on 0.9.3, so the herdr
idle wait stays and the registry wait runs before it (plan §4.3 (나)).
- lib_py/delegation/wrapper.py: `open-jobs` (diagnostic) and
`wait-open-jobs`. An open job of the session is live when the #18
contract says so: `running` with an event in events.log within
idle_timeout_sec; `pending` with a dispatch signal (dispatch_wait_at,
else created_at) within ack_timeout_sec. A dead record is reported
(`stale open job <id> ignored (...)`) and never waited for. The waiter
signals every 10 s by merging dispatch_wait_at into its own pending
record through the registry's transition boundary (status untouched, no
event), so later waiters see it alive; a waiter whose wrapper is gone
stops and its signal goes stale (Creator's challenge, job bf8863e1).
Release is FIFO by (created_at, job_id): `clear` when no live running
job remains and this job is the earliest live pending one; `busy <ids>`
at the bound min(MAM_DISPATCH_WAIT_S, remaining wall clock).
- the wrapper: _registry_wait after the preflight in both dispatch paths;
`busy` closes the job as cancelled/session_busy (phase registry_wait),
exit 5 - the existing contract.
- tests/test_issue50_dispatch.py: the open-job table (status x age x
signal x spelling), FIFO and the tie, the signal as a registry merge,
the bound, a dead wrapper, finalize-end's new phase, both call sites.
- tests/test_issue50_dispatch_herdr.py: a real herdr 0.9.3 server per
test (short mkdtemp HOME, fake claude the server reports idle, the real
publish path over the suite's broker): C1 wait-then-run, C2 the bound,
C3 a dead running record, C4 the loop runner's first job behind an
onboarding, C5 a session without a row, C7 two waiters in FIFO order
with no cancellation, C8 a killed waiter skipped once stale; and three
concurrent `create --onboard` / `worktree_prepare.sh --onboard` in one
server (one server process survives the shims' concurrent bootstrap,
so no bootstrap lock is needed).

The handshake only said the agent saw the prompt (#23). create_session.sh
now waits, after `started`, for the onboarding job to reach a terminal
status and makes that its own result, so the orchestrator learns it from
create's exit (MULTI_AGENT_RULES §6) instead of guessing from herdr's
agent_status:
- lib_py/delegation/wrapper.py: `wait-terminal` (completed|error|cancelled,
`timeout` after --timeout, `missing` when the record is gone; stops with
its caller via --watch-pid) and `onboard-exit` (completed 0, error or
cancelled 44, timeout or missing 45). bash branches on the printed answer.
- lib.sh: delegate_wait_terminal / delegate_onboard_exit, thin calls.
- create_session.sh: `onboarding completed: job <id> (<n>s)` on stdout, or
`last_visible_status: onboarding-<status>` on the row, the reason on stderr
and `exit 44` / `exit 45` after `trap - EXIT` - the session is kept, as for
a missing handshake. The "no started" path (error, exit 0 before) now ends
with 44. MAM_ONBOARD_WAIT_S (default 600, floor 1) bounds the wait.
- worktree_prepare.sh: 44/45 pass through with "session and worktree kept".
- create SKILL.md exit table (44, 45) and the knob; the #42 inventory follows.
- tests/conftest.py: --onboard is the default, so ~60 sandbox create tests
reach the new wait. The mock herdr now acts as the agent for create's
onboarding prompt - it runs the publish commands the prompt names through
the real publish_event.py - and MAM_ONBOARD_WAIT_S=3 caps a test that turns
that off (MAM_MOCK_ONBOARD_HANDSHAKE=0 -> 44, `started` -> 45). The
delegate-job wrapper's prompt has another shape and is never answered.
- tests/test_issue50_onboard.py: the decision tables, create in the sandbox
(0 / 44 / 45, session kept, row note, trap window), the knob's integer
rule, worktree_prepare's pass-through.
