create_session.sh detaches `reconcile.sh --subscribe --idle-timeout 0` per
workspace; test sandboxes never reaped it and the daemon neither noticed its
workspace vanish nor honoured SIGTERM (bash deferred the signal behind the
foreground python child). 202 orphans were found holding public-broker
wildcard subscriptions for deleted pytest tmpdirs.
- daemon.py / lib.sh: MAM_NO_SUBSCRIBER_DAEMON=1 (literal) skips the spawn but
still reports a running daemon; cli prints a stderr note, stdout stays empty.
- reconcile.sh: python subscriber runs as a waited background child with a
TERM/INT trap (exit 143); the MQTT loop exits when the workspace dir is gone
or .mam/monitor.lock is no longer the held inode; SIGTERM/SIGINT handled via
the stop event so loop_stop/disconnect run; the polling fallback checks the
same and sleeps in a waited child.
- conftest: sandbox default MAM_NO_SUBSCRIBER_DAEMON=1, per-sandbox reaper
finalizer, session-scope leak guard over the pytest basetemp.
- tests: 11 lifecycle tests (tests/test_issue19_subscriber_daemon_lifecycle.py);
phase-1 watchdog/daemon characterization tests opt back in.
- docs: monitor SKILL.md lifecycle contract + pitfalls, create SKILL.md note.
