Current-main and changelog refresh

Refreshed head 3327fe7 merges current main df97a85, preserving the previously reviewed commits. The PR's normalized source/test added-and-removed lines are unchanged. Its release bullets moved verbatim to changelog.d/209-pure-routing-query.breaking.md; shared CHANGELOG.md now equals main. Scratch release folding included each bullet once and consumed the fragment.

• Build/pretest then node --test --test-concurrency=2 --test-timeout=60000 --test-force-exit dist/test/*.test.js: 1126 pass / 0 fail / 0 cancelled / 0 skipped at 3327fe7.
• Focused conversation/release/silent-heartbeat/feat(mcpl): show each tool's effective class and its source (RFC-008 §6) #202 checks: 64/64. Felix independently reviewed exact-head integration, ancestry, release text, and runtime-patch identity, and passed 60/60 focused checks.
• Earlier test receipts below remain attributed to their historical heads. The refresh adds main's feat(code-execution): per-call time limit (time_limit_ms) #203, feat(mcpl): show each tool's effective class and its source (RFC-008 §6) #202, and feat: add silent heartbeat wake path #216 changes without replacing the reviewed PR commits.

Problem

Fixes #46. ConversationRouter.route() refreshes an existing binding's idle clock while deciding where a message would go. A diagnostic query or failed context write can therefore prolong an engagement. Fixed-audience coalesced delivery bypasses that side effect and leaves the clock stale.

Changes

• Make route() a pure query and add explicit touch(channelId, now) activity recording.
• Refresh activity after successful context append, including ambient traffic. Fixed-audience delivery refreshes only a binding still owned by its recipient; a correction to an older fork cannot prolong its replacement.
• Document the direct-caller migration: call touch() after delivery, and move deterministic clock injection from route({ now }) to touch(channelId, now). Framework-managed delivery handles this automatically.

Tests

• Five added tests with original production source: 24 pass / 3 fail. Fixed router/routing tests: 27 pass / 0 fail.
• Build and git diff --check pass.
• Independent review by Felix: compiled router/routing/coalescing tests 93 pass / 0 fail.
• Full suite: bun run build && bun run pretest && node --test --test-concurrency=2 --test-force-exit dist/test/*.test.js: 1106 pass / 0 fail, versus shared main baseline 03c31d9: 1101 pass / 0 fail. This uses the repository runner's force-exit flag.
• Felix reviewed fix(routing): isolate fork namespaces by raw channel identity #206's compatibility-only helper adjustment 78f596d and merged it locally with this head a4835d9. Production and test files auto-merged; the historical changelog conflict is removed by the unique fragments in the refresh below. Combined build and both conversation test files pass 32 / 0.

Not verified / scope

Live providers and production connectors were not exercised. Tests use real Chronicle stores and mocked inference; the independent coalescing suite also uses its local MCPL fixture. Self-echo identity policy (#47) is separate from this query/delivery split.

Related PR

#206 fixes fork namespace collisions independently. Either change can land first. Their release notes now use unique fragments, so there is no shared changelog edit to resolve.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Medium risk] Routing logic refactored to separate query from activity tracking.

The PR appears safe to merge; no actionable regression was identified.

Summary

The PR separates routing queries from idle-activity recording.

• Records activity after channel messages enter fork context, including ambient and fixed-audience deliveries.
• Avoids refreshing a newer binding for a correction delivered to an older fork.
• Updates router and framework tests and documents the direct-caller migration.

Reviewed at head a4835d9, verified first-hand. APPROVE.

What I ran and checked:

• Fixes #46 exactly as titled (route() CQS violation). Behavioral probe on built base vs branch: base route() mutates lastActivity on an existing binding; branch route() is a pure read and touch(channelId, now) records delivered activity with deterministic clock injection. Router/routing tests 27/0 on the branch with repo flags; with base src and this PR's tests, the two new behavioral assertions go red ("failed delivery leaves… unchanged", "fixed-audience coalesced… refreshes") — the remaining passes are regression guards by design. Full suite 1102 / 0 / 4 skips (base 1101 + new).
• Call-chain audit (both panels, independently): exactly two append-into-fork sites, and both refresh correctly — the deliverTo path behind the ownership guard (a correction to an older fork can't prolong its replacement), the routed path unconditionally after successful addMessage. All coalesced deliveries land on one of those two (push-coalescer sets deliverTo). No delivery path lost its refresh; queries and failed appends no longer prolong engagements.
• Ownership-guard race: no await between addMessage/getBinding/touch; the sweep runs between events on the serial loop; fork names carry generation and usedEphemeralAgentNames prevents reuse — the guard can't alias.
• Spawn freshness: bind(now) precedes the first append in both spawn paths, so no binding is stale from birth.

Non-blocking observations for the ledger (pre-existing, same at base):

1. Only inbound delivery counts as activity — a fork that is actively speaking into a channel with no inbound traffic still ages toward the 12 h TTL. May be intended (a monologuing fork arguably should expire); worth a deliberate decision rather than an accident.
2. Possible (not probed): a coalescer-timer delivery interleaving with the serial loop's await createConversationAgent could have both callers route to the same spawn name, with the second failing "already registered" and its message dropped. Flagging for a look, not asserting.
3. Test hygiene, pre-existing: conversation-routing's "fork channel_publish: omitted channelId defaults to home" test leaks async work after test end ("Queue is closed" unhandledRejection), visible only without --test-force-exit — the repo's force-exit flag is masking it. Reproduced by both panels at base.
4. CHANGELOG.md direct edit — same changelog.d/ fragment ask as the sibling PRs (the Unreleased hunks all mutually conflict).

Refresh pushed at 3327fe7. The release note now lives in the unique changelog.d/209-pure-routing-query.breaking.md fragment, with its original bullet text preserved verbatim and shared CHANGELOG.md restored to main. Current main df97a85 is merged while keeping all reviewed commit hashes. Normalized source/test changes are identical to the original reviewed patch.

Build and focused checks pass; full suite is 1126 pass / 0 fail / 0 cancelled / 0 skipped at 3327fe7. Felix independently reviewed this exact integration/documentation delta and ran 60/60 focused tests. The PR body preserves historical receipts separately.
