## Round-1 findings

| Round 1 | e8d9151 |
|---|---|
| `tests/test_issue45_herdr_config.py:16` imported `tomllib` at module level, so Python 3.9/3.10 could not collect the file. `tests/test_issue9_server_env.py:157` did the same inside the bootstrap test, and expected the merged document from a 3.9 `python3` that writes only the key. | Import is `try/except` (`test_issue45_herdr_config.py:18-21`). `needs_tomllib` skips the 29 tests that parse a result or expect the user's other settings (`:36`, applied at `:71` and the other parse sites). `test_without_tomllib_restore_is_still_off` still runs. `test_issue9_server_env.py:173-183` parses with the `python3` on `PATH` and, when that interpreter has no `tomllib`, expects the key-only file and `no tomllib` in the shim stderr. `create/SKILL.md:120` and `VERSIONS.md:49` say a `python3` older than 3.11 leaves restore off, drops the other herdr settings, and warns. |
| `tests/test_issue45_restore.py:227` read `/proc/<pid>/environ` before the restore-on control, so macOS never reached that control. | `_process_env` (`:160-168`) reads `/proc/<pid>/environ` when it exists, otherwise `ps -E -ww -o command=`. The control stays after that check (`:242-248`). On this Mac the herdr server's `ps -E` line contains `HERDR_CONFIG_PATH=<resolved>/mam-server-config.toml`, and both `test_a` cases passed, so the control ran. |
| `:263` and `:325` compared pane `cwd` to the unresolved `/tmp/...` from `mkdtemp`. herdr reports `/private/tmp/...`. | The fixture resolves the temp root (`:175`) before `HOME` is set, so later `str(rig.root)` and `str(ws)` match herdr. `test_b_only_the_resumed_sessions_restored_shell_is_closed` and `test_b_resume_leaves_no_restored_shell_behind` passed. |

The tomli backport suggested in round 1 is not in this delta. The docs now describe the path this host's `/usr/bin/python3` (3.9.6, no `tomli`) actually takes. That matches the decision to document it.

`tests/data/skill_code_blocks.json` is unchanged. The create skill edit is the same line 120, so no fence moved. `test_issue42_skill_blocks` passed, with the usual worktree skip at `:266` because `.claude/skills` is absent in the snapshot.

## Tests

Required command, PR venv Python 3.9.6, `--basetemp=/tmp/b471follow.eYGqXM` (no `mam-review` in the path), MQTT variables unset:

**152 passed, 30 skipped** in 214.33s. The 30 skips are the 29 `needs tomllib` cases plus `test_issue42_skill_blocks.py:266`.

Same file on a throwaway Python 3.11.15 venv (`/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.11`), `HOME` set to an empty temp directory:

**51 passed** in 0.38s, none skipped.

Afterward no `mamt45` process remained. `~/.config/herdr/config.toml` mtime stayed `1784456394`, the directory mtime stayed `1791183576`, and `mam-server-config.toml` was not created there. Snapshot `git status` was empty.

[VERDICT: PASS]
