Stack 4 · Mac commands, on #3274. compose-mac-commands.ts follows the account's unclaimed commands through the live layer, in place of one held read after another.

• Follow: uses liveRows with reseal and poll. Realtime is off (no LUKE_REALTIME), so this is the poll the service holds until the rows move (feat(service,host): hold a live read's poll until its rows move #4272). Every read names accountId (LIVE_USER_QUERY) and the Mac's kinds (RUNS, shell). When the service answers signed out, the follow ends.
• Claim: each new command is claimed by id, earliest queued first, and run or refused by its kind, as before feat(service,host): a Mac command carries a kind #4273. Only what the service grants runs, so two Macs never run one command.
• Presence, the one timer that remains: macCommands.listening(RUNS) is sent at once and then every 15 s, inside the service's 45 s LISTENER_FRESH. No row change can say the process is alive. Each beat reads the gate first. When it shuts, the follow and the beats end, and running commands are stopped.
• No fallback: an unanswered read is asked again after 5 s. The client's held read waiting() is removed, because the desktop no longer asks for it. The service still answers it.

compose-mac-commands.test.ts runs against a scripted service with Realtime off: answered polled, and held until the rows move. It covers:

• the gate;
• claim order;
• a browser command refused while the shell one runs;
• a command queued later heard within about a second;
• every read naming the account and shell;
• the 15 s beat, and stopping when the setting is switched off;
• a signed-out read following nothing and being asked again.

Checked piece by piece: tsc for features and host; vitest over all of host and the client; knip; oxlint; discarded-effect.
