+
+### Continue an interrupted Host in its retained filesystem
+
+The explicit `benchmark.runtime.scheduler` budget-continuation entrypoint can
+settle a returned, budget-interrupted native Host before the next normal wake.
+It retains the original scheduler attempt, wake receipt, Goal, Todos and native
+conversation. A new append-only phase records the exact source and one finite
+deadline; retrying that phase cannot refill time. The next wake still performs
+ordinary quota, Stop, current-profile and session checks. No tool is replayed,
+work marked complete, or replan obligation discarded by this settlement.
+
+New scheduler-owned attempts carry an attempt identity and passive process
+cleanup observations. Recovery requires one matching returned budget receipt,
+a terminated original process group, the unchanged session binding, and stable
+native history ending in an interrupted Turn within that process window.
+Unknown failures, live processes, pending native effects, ambiguous receipts,
+changed profiles and stopped Goals remain held. Ordinary scheduler invocation
+does not opt into continuation. Completed-checkpoint admission stays unchanged.
+
+An older worker without the process observation can instead retain its exact
+stopped Docker filesystem. Prepare evidence through the existing Docker archive
+provider; do not substitute an older sealed checkpoint or copy files over the
+current workspace. The declaration names the original `goal_id`, `agent_id`,
+`workspace`, `runtime_root`, `native_home`, `registry`, `scheduler_state`,
+`wake_log_dir`, `phase_clock` and `wake_turn_id` (absolute guest paths for paths).
+For example:
+
+```sh
+python -m benchmark.edgebench.stopped_recovery \
+  --source-container FULL_CONTAINER_ID \
+  --declaration /private/recovery/source.json \
+  --output /private/recovery/source-proof.json --install
+```
+
+The command refuses a running container, non-inert restart command or external
+mounts. It inventories the current workspace, runtime, registry, original wake,
+native history and SQLite WAL/journal companions, then verifies the container
+remained stopped. `--install` places and reads back only a content-addressed
+inert proof in that same container's control directory; omitting it is read-only.
+Neither form starts the container, restores scoring authority or calls a model.
+Keep exclusive ownership of the source during preparation and continuation.
+
+After independently restoring the original native evaluator's history,
+opportunities and actual cooldown, restart only the same inert container and
+pass its returned `installed_proof_path` as `LOOPX_INTERRUPTED_SOURCE` to the
+explicit scheduler continuation. Preserve all original guest paths, native
+configuration and session. Hot-upgraded LoopX source belongs outside inventoried
+directories. Supply the separately admitted remaining allowance through the
+existing `LOOPX_PHASE_DEADLINE_EPOCH`; leave the original phase-clock file intact
+for source verification. Any changed participant, including a missing WAL,
+refuses settlement. A held reason is printed and the original phase remains
+selected; inspect the original evidence rather than delete it or select fresh.
+
+This provider path qualifies transport recovery, not a new sealed research point
+or cross-container restore. It never grants evaluator registration, budget,
+execution authorization or scientific comparability. Keep the prior failed
+segment and new segment separately attributable, and verify actual model activity
+and native feedback after dispatch. Disposable tests exercise real Docker archive
+and proof installation; SQLite/process tests exercise interrupted work followed
+by the same session's next Turn without paid model calls.
+
+The legacy stopped-source path accepts only Docker's default container-ID hostname.
+The receiver derives the current UTS hostname independently and refuses copied
+proofs in a different worker, including custom-hostname sources. This is an
+accidental-cross-worker boundary under the trusted Docker operator, not a
+cryptographic defense against that operator spoofing hostnames. The installed
+proof initially has root ownership and mode `0600`; a non-root worker's operator
+must assign that one inert file to the original execution user before consumption.
+Only verified SQLite `-shm` companions are omitted as rebuildable indexes; arbitrary
+workspace files with that suffix remain protected.
+
+An explicitly continued phase can carry a hash-bound content handoff through
+`LOOPX_RECOVERY_HANDOFF` and `LOOPX_RECOVERY_HANDOFF_SHA256`. Use the existing
+`handoff restore --input FILE --format json` content envelope (`ok: true` and
+`handoff_text`), without ownership arguments. The normal heartbeat presents it;
+a successful same-session Host receipt confirms its digest and stops repeated
+presentation. An uncertain attempt retains the same input, and missing or changed
+bytes fail closed. A legitimate later budget phase can bind its own new handoff;
+the earlier phase and digest remain immutable. Native submission-ID remapping
+belongs in this infrastructure handoff, never a replacement solution Todo.
+
+Recovery settles process transport only. Preserved pending semantic replan
+attempts still require their original settlement owner; an interrupted replan
+is not silently declared complete or cleared to force dispatch.

 ## Research checkpoint storage
 
+New native non-game runs give every worker profile the same research directory,
+`/tmp/loopx-benchmark-research`, outside the task workspace and submitted paths.
+Keep experiment notes, local probes and candidate history there; required build
+and runtime inputs still belong in the task's declared submission paths. The
+runner does not filter submissions, extend evaluator feedback or alter grading.
+Overlapping submission/capture roots and existing unrelated data at this reserved
+path reject setup before solver execution.
+
+Terminal collection retains this directory under `collected/research`. With an
+explicit checkpoint request, the runner adds a separate `benchmark_research`
+component to the staged declaration, without modifying the caller's file. Warm
+continuation restores that exact component at its original path through the
+ordinary verified research-file transport. Other external research components
+still require explicit selection. Old checkpoints remain valid and preserve
+their workspace files; they start with an empty external research directory,
+without automatic relocation or deletion of historical artifacts. A warm receiver
+appends a bounded storage-policy update to its existing `AGENTS.md`, preserving
+the original task text and prior feedback policy; it does not rewrite the sealed
+checkpoint or Goal state. Terminal
+collection alone does not make a run resumable. Game and restricted-feedback
+runs retain their existing storage behavior.

 Full controller capture requires a filesystem that preserves case-sensitive and
 Unicode-normalization-sensitive filenames. A Linux controller using a shared
 host volume may not have those properties. New controller-enabled launches probe

 Campaign duration coverage must still classify an early exit as missing time.
 
+### Optional native execution evidence
+
+A benchmark host can expose finalized and live solver intervals through the
+existing campaign duration owner. This read-only provider does not declare
+Goal requirements, configure acceptance checks or decide whether to continue.
+The Agent owns semantic requirements in the shared first-planning checkpoint;
+independent executable checks remain optional. A maximum timeout alone never
+creates a minimum execution commitment.
+
+```python
+from benchmark.edgebench.execution_commitment import (
+    NativeExecutionEvidence, install_execution_commitment,
+)
+
+evidence = NativeExecutionEvidence(
+    run_id=run_id, task_id=task_id, trial=trial,
+    target_seconds=explicit_caller_target_seconds,
+    runner_active=lambda: worker is not None and worker.poll() is None,
+)
+install_execution_commitment(
+    app, run_id=run_id, task_id=task_id, observe=evidence.fulfilled,
+)
+```
+
+Use the native trial directory containing `solver_execution.json` and the exact
+worker process. For continuation, supply finalized earlier receipts as explicit
+`(Path, sha256)` pairs in `previous`. Setup, grading and downtime contribute no
+execution credit; missing, altered or unfinished previous evidence stays unknown.
+The scoped feedback route resolves the exact `(run_id, task_id)` pair. Reinstalling
+the same observer is idempotent; replacing it is rejected. The command adapter
+`python -m benchmark.runtime.execution_commitment probe|check --task-id TASK`
+reads the explicitly selected native relay and rejects stale or malformed data.
+Apps without this extension and ordinary worker entry/restore behavior remain
+unchanged. No default semantic requirement or automatic check is installed.
+
 To compare entry policies, hold the execution mode, session policy, model,
 effort, tools, feedback and total budget fixed, and use separate trials:

+### 2026-11-07 — Caller process-transport loading proposal
+
+- **Baseline and boundary:** `7f521ff4505fa916a98a7401032922189eef414a`
+  loads `extensions.process_runtime` during the pure Turn-decision import.
+  Doctor Git, contract scanning, caller validation and Host bridge transport
+  now resolve their existing reexports on use. The original function objects,
+  signatures, direct/from/star imports, discovery, caller patch points,
+  preloaded-owner bindings and reload behavior remain available. This uses the
+  existing lazy-export pattern; the export-name set is local compatibility
+  metadata, not a shared state vocabulary. Python retains platform transport;
+  TypeScript retains decisions, deadlines, authority and receipts. No provider,
+  capability, default or process algorithm is added.
+- **Executable evidence:** the four cold-caller oracles fail on the immutable
+  baseline. Focused compatibility checks and the existing architecture oracle
+  pass on the proposal; the Turn-preview unselected-module guard is retained.
+  Real isolated Git, validation and bridge tests cover timeout, cancellation,
+  exited-leader descendants, stdin policy, framing and unconfirmed cleanup.
+  A newly built monolithic wheel repeats compatibility and real-process checks
+  outside the checkout. Complete public discovery/star name sets and transport
+  signatures match the baseline. This is source/wheel proposal evidence, not an
+  upgrade or adoption result.
+- **Measured scope:** pure Turn-decision import loads 337 LoopX modules instead
+  of 338. Pure import and help start no processes or connections; supported help
+  and unknown-command output/exit status remain identical. Shared synthetic
+  SQLite fixtures exercise accepted and rejected registered Turn plans: both
+  revisions start two Node processes and thirteen Git probes, with 62/61
+  connection observations respectively. Their complete returned envelopes match
+  except the source-decision digest from fresh observations. Registered plans
+  still select process transport; the entire preview dependency closure is not
+  qualified as cold. One removed import does not establish latency, RSS,
+  complete-cost, managed-Turn or long-horizon benefit.
+- **Remaining and rollback:** retain I3 for at least one minor release. D2, D5,
+  D6, I3, D3 and full R0/V10/M1/R1/context/model/install acceptance remain open.
+  Canary passes its six direct checks and 17 of 18 selected checks.
+  `first-connect-contract-smoke.py` fails with `KeyError: should_run` on both
+  baseline and proposal; its inline-field assumption needs separate repair.
+  This failure and existing broader lint/browser failures remain open.
+  The completed author proposal may enter normal review with disclosed
+  holds; protected runtime merge still requires maintainer authorization.
+  Revert this caller loading change to restore eager binding without state
+  migration; no unrelated language rewrite is required.
+
+### 2026-11-06 — History reader selected loading
+
+- **Baseline and boundary:** `22b0f6c25`. Ordinary `history` reads and help use
+  the existing registrar/handler through the shared CLI grammar and guard.
+  Maintenance actions, rejected parser requests and a preloaded full CLI retain
+  the original route, including handler/renderer patch points. History algorithms,
+  evidence windows, public imports and the TS owner remain unchanged. This is a
+  reversible R0 reader slice in the monolithic distribution; I3 still requires
+  at least one minor release for public moves.
+- **Real-path evidence:** 27 actual-console cases per baseline/candidate source
+  and installed-wheel environment preserve stdout/stderr/exit codes, UTC order,
+  Agent filtering, limits, empty/unknown inputs and current/stale evidence reads.
+  Four additional installed/source facade probes preserve patched handlers and
+  renderers. The preloaded-handler oracle failed before its correction; final
+  history/parser selection passes 26 tests. Existing durable history, artifact
+  and evidence oracles are retained. Required native services use disposable
+  process and data namespaces, with authenticated exit readback.
+- **Matched measurement:** Apple M4 Pro, 48 GiB, macOS 27 arm64, Python 3.13.5,
+  Node 26.0.0; matched Python dependencies and source-pair Node dependencies.
+  Each of four workloads has 30 interleaved baseline/candidate pairs, precompiled
+  bytecode and fresh Python processes with warm native-service reuse. The final
+  sampling takes 229 seconds; all three rounds total 698 seconds, below the
+  frozen 20-minute sampling bound. Setup, validation and tracing are separate.
+  Earlier environment/refinement observations retain their original scope.
+
+| Workload | Median / p95 elapsed ms, base → candidate | Median CPU ms | Median CLI peak RSS MiB |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Source help | 1552 / 1862 → 204 / 349 | 670 → 100 | 91.4 → 31.3 |
+| Source Agent read | 1603 / 1833 → 417 / 482 | 665 → 150 | 91.9 → 34.4 |
+| Wheel help | 1621 / 2053 → 220 / 375 | 695 → 100 | 91.8 → 31.0 |
+| Wheel Agent read | 1648 / 1825 → 414 / 462 | 725 → 150 | 92.2 → 34.6 |
+
+- **Loading and effects:** source/wheel help loads 155 rather than 1157 LoopX
+  modules; registered reads load 208 rather than 1158, evidence reads 210 rather
+  than 1159. Python audit read-open observations decrease from 1290 to 246 for
+  source help and 1311 to 723 for its cold native read; wheel observations are
+  1291 → 247 and 1710 → 723. Help has zero observed writes/processes/connections.
+  Cold registered reads retain six write-opens, two process starts and one
+  connection, with 252/355 client IPC bytes sent/received. Evidence reads retain
+  one write-open, two connections and 1377/804 IPC bytes. These required effects
+  are not optional activation. A serving runtime can work without Node on PATH;
+  cold absence retains the existing failure. Output bytes match. Timing includes
+  interpreter and process invocation; descendant CPU/RSS/I/O, full model and
+  attention costs remain unknown.
+- **Holds and remaining work:** measured help p95 remains above the proposed
+  200 ms target; D6 is not adopted. Source-session loader inventory and Turn
+  preview import checks fail identically on the untouched baseline. Their failures
+  are retained as qualification holds. This does not close full R0/V10, M1,
+  split installation, R1/context/host qualification or open design decisions.
+  Revert the loader slice for rollback; no state migration is involved.
+
+### 2026-11-06 — Selected version loading and matched costs
+
+The independent proposal `8a79d8602e699e51452ca1f43dc9b9527c81aa1b` at baseline
+`5a58635028fbef1316dc66531daf5fdb655e9b13` selects the existing version registrar
+and handler through `cli_runtime`. It reuses the canonical global grammar,
+format precedence, usage hooks and controller guard. Rejected parsing retains
+full-CLI fallback and diagnostics; explicitly bound package or full-CLI exports
+retain their registrar/handler patch points without triggering lazy exports
+on ordinary queries. Public imports, identity and types remain
+unchanged. No capability, provider, package, permission, preset or TypeScript
+decision owner is added. The separate DSH/helper and negative cost proposal is
+[#8185](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/pull/8185); its E7/E8 observations
+are distinct from this version-path comparison and are not a dependency.
+
+The initial `55e3ef45a` comparison retains 120 ordinary-query observations
+(source median 1.546 → 0.059 seconds; wheel 1.554 → 0.072). A later independent
+case finds that it ignores a patched package-facade handler, returning 0 instead
+of 37. Its passing premerge did not cover that branch. The failure and original
+inputs/data remain retained; they do not qualify facade compatibility. The
+proposal repairs both package registrar and handler adoption, then freezes the
+new exact-head comparison below.
+
+- **Real caller:** source and freshly installed monolithic wheels at both
+  immutable revisions exercise the actual `loopx` console. All 27 cases per
+  distribution have identical stdout, stderr and exit status, including
+  global/local/repeated formats, explicit paths, help, unknown/abbreviated
+  options, missing/empty values and fallback. Independent unknown-command/
+  option cases reject with exit 2 and no result. Version works with Node absent
+  in all four variants; outer-controller read behavior and full-CLI patch points
+  remain compatible.
+- **Loading census:** separate parent instrumentation records 1,157 → 10
+  LoopX modules in both distributions, with the candidate contained in the
+  baseline set. Source read-opens are 1,286 → 28 and wheel 1,289 → 29.
+  Each version capture has zero write-opens, subprocesses, observed local IPC
+  connections and covered socket bytes. Stdout remains 81 bytes; stderr is empty.
+- **Frozen comparison:** all four environments have verified provenance,
+  CPython 3.13.5 and identical 57 dependency versions. Stdlib, dependencies and
+  all 1,421 LoopX sources have valid timestamp bytecode in owned cache prefixes;
+  post-measurement/profile source/header inventories have no missing/invalid
+  caches and match the preflight. Every sample has fresh Python and disables
+  bytecode writes; disk cache is uncontrolled. No broker/warm-broker comparison
+  is made. Order is source then wheel, AB on even pairs and BA on odd pairs.
+  Both corrected groups complete 30 pairs: 120 accepted observations in 62.246
+  seconds. Including the first study, aggregate sampling is 166.191 seconds,
+  below the unchanged 1,200-second cap. All observations are retained.
+
+| Distribution | Baseline seconds, median / p95 | Proposal seconds, median / p95 | CPU seconds, median (base → proposal) | RSS MiB, median (base → proposal) | Median paired proposal minus baseline, seconds |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Source | 0.980 / 1.056 | 0.055 / 0.075 | 0.520 → 0.037 | 90.17 → 16.81 | -0.9242 |
+| Monolithic wheel | 0.948 / 1.147 | 0.056 / 0.077 | 0.511 → 0.038 | 89.89 → 16.60 | -0.8993 |
+
+p95 uses nearest rank; paired differences and differences of arm medians are
+distinct statistics. Median latency falls about 94% in both source and wheel
+on this macOS arm64 environment; CPU and target RSS also fall. One-minute host
+load ranges from 8.25 to 9.06. This qualifies a material version-query
+improvement under frozen conditions, without adopting portable D6 budgets or
+claiming real managed-Turn/long-horizon savings. Usage covers the target and
+waited descendants; no child is launched in the census. Native detail and
+complete authoring/model/maintenance costs remain unknown.
+
+The heartbeat-to-final-freeze interval is about 2,404 seconds, including
+overlapping recovery, initial study, correction, dependency/build/install,
+test, cache and parity work; overlapping phases cannot be summed. Cache
+preparation is recorded separately. Corrected console/facade parity takes
+82.759 seconds, instrumentation 2.539 and four parent profiles 4.155. Earlier
+parity/instrumentation/profile costs of 136.239 / 3.830 / 7.089 seconds remain
+retained. Cross-study timing levels are not treated as a code comparison.
+Existing `performance-diagnosis` recipes show export loading and full parser
+construction in baseline sampled stacks; weights remain separate from repeated
+latency. Monolithic packaging is verified, without split-install or installed
+host-upgrade qualification.
+
+Seven selected-loading cases fail on the baseline and pass on the proposal.
+The package registrar/handler case passes on the baseline, fails on the initial
+candidate and passes on the correction; canonical diagnostic and full-CLI
+patch-point cases pass in both baseline and proposal. All 161 entrypoint cases and
+focused lint pass. Owner-scoped mypy with `--follow-imports=skip` fails with
+33 identical diagnostics at base/proposal after line normalization; this is
+neither a pass nor the full configured type check. Adoption requires final-head
+validation, independent review and merge readiness. I3's minimum one minor
+release window remains in force; no D3/expiry decision is made. R0's wider census,
+R1/minimal, D2/D5/D6, hard-lease/context/model and split-install acceptance remain
+open. The bounded refactor reuses its existing parser/handler; larger runtime
+and package changes retain their accepted owners.
+
+### 2026-11-06 — Discovery integration and the next executable boundary
+
+- **Integrated:** [#8012](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/pull/8012)
+  merged the proposed head `58442be4d` as `83f569178` on November 4. On the
+  independently prepared `main` revision `62e234c93`, all 23 discovery and
+  protected-dispatch cases pass. Replay with
+  `uv run --extra test python -m pytest -q tests/test_cli_entrypoint.py -k 'capability_discovery or capability_non_discovery'`.
+  This verifies current source integration; the earlier installed-wheel and
+  paired performance evidence remains bound to its original revision and
+  environment. No installed host or new wheel is qualified by this replay.
+- **Resolved prerequisite:** [#8054](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/pull/8054)
+  (`886f2cdff`) removed capture I/O from the settlement plan's cold import.
+  `uv run --extra test python -m pytest -q tests/architecture/test_control_plane_import_boundaries.py::test_settlement_plan_import_does_not_load_native_capture_io`
+  passes on `62e234c93`. The November 4 failure remains historical evidence;
+  the later fix removes that specific import blocker. The broader suite and
+  configured mypy were not rerun on this revision, so their earlier results
+  do not become a current passing qualification.
+- **Next source slice:** characterize the existing `generic-cli` managed Turn
+  path with SQLite authority and optional task hooks disabled, as a candidate
+  for the selected D2/D5 composition. Reuse the Turn, host selector and typed
+  authority owners. Existing CLI interruption and successor-replay tests in
+  `tests/test_loopx_turn_driver.py` locate integration seams; they do not
+  establish a minimal preset. The next slice must name the actual dependency
+  closure and exercise an isolated task-producing host process, interruption,
+  restart and independently validated result readback with original identities
+  and no repeated confirmed effects. A deterministic local host can qualify
+  its synthetic transport boundary, not a model host or complete V4 journey.
+- **Remaining:** full R0/V10, M1/I3/D3, the separate status proposal #8011,
+  split installation and R1 remain open. D2/D5 are still owner decisions;
+  this candidate changes no preset, default, execution authority or release

+### 2026-11-06 — Proposed generic-cli/SQLite composition and recovery evidence
+
+This is a D2/D5 candidate and source characterization, not an approved preset.
+It reuses the existing Turn, host selection, authority and settlement owners.
+
+| Dimension | Candidate / observed boundary |
+| --- | --- |
+| Installation | Current monolithic `loopx` source checkout; Python 3.13.5 and Node 26.0.0 on macOS arm64. Test extras prepare the experiment, not a minimal install. No split distribution or installed host is qualified |
+| Host | Existing `generic-cli`, `isolated-headless`, JSON stdio via `--host-adapter-command-json`; one local deterministic task-producing process and a separate trusted argv validator. No model session or workspace/IM service is needed by this fixture |
+| Authority | Canonical SQLite through the existing TypeScript effect runtime and its local RPC transport; existing Turn journal, validation and settlement. The test scaffold seeds a `soft_claim` shadow; this evidence cannot alone qualify normal hard-lease V2 parity |
+| Required logical core | Bootstrap/selected CLI, TurnEnvelope and host admission, current authority/stop/budget/claim rules, journal/recovery, process supervision, independent validation and result/settlement readback. Their owners remain shared with standard |
+| Optional activation | No task-memory or other optional hook is enabled in the fixture; no model jobs or external operations. Imported settings/policy helpers are not proof of activation or permission to remove them |
+| Identity and recovery | Resume the original journal with `--resume-turn-key`; a fresh `--turn-instance-id` is intentionally refused on that path. Cached confirmed host work is reused; unconfirmed work and other interruption points remain separately governed |
+
+- **Actual task and recovery:** a real host process writes the squared integers
+  zero through seven; an independent process checks the expected literal array.
+  Both the ordinary path and an OS `SIGKILL` of the owned CLI after its typed host
+  result was persisted end with one host invocation, one writeback and one debit
+  per isolated SQLite fixture. The interrupted path has no debit before restart;
+  restart validates the cached result without invoking the host again. A further
+  committed replay reports no repeated host/writeback/debit/scheduler effect.
+  The artifact bytes match across both paths. No active project state was faulted.
+- **Actual loading:** at product revision `62e234c93`, the ordinary Python path
+  loads 538 LoopX modules across 21 capability namespaces, without `loopx.cli`
+  or the `loopx.chat` tree. A second drill uses an isolated existing-runtime
+  broker and a transparent Node module-load observer: its bootstrap, execution
+  and recovery load 231 TypeScript files and eight JSON files under
+  `control_plane`. These are observed closures, not approved core membership.
+  The private broker's identity, shutdown acknowledgement and process exit were
+  verified; shared services were not stopped.
+- **Costs and limits:** parent-side tracing distinguishes required local RPC
+  from external network connections; none of the latter is observed. The
+  ordinary invocation observes 34 Git subprocesses, one Node version probe, one
+  Node host supervisor and one Python validator; the supervisor launches the
+  task host. Child/broker CPU and RSS, full wire/context bytes and model-host
+  costs remain unmeasured. These small instrumented drills are not repeated
+  matched performance samples, a D6 budget or long-horizon benefit evidence.
+- **Independent regression evidence:** the six SQLite cases of
+  `test_managed_start_interruption_preserves_reservation_and_attempt`, plus
+  `test_turn_run_once_cli_rejects_unproven_host_claim_before_writeback` and
+  `test_turn_run_once_cli_replays_declared_successor_after_interruption` pass in
+  `tests/test_loopx_turn_driver.py`. Probe setup refusals remain separate from
+  product failures: an overbroad network observer, an incorrect host-request
+  schema and conflicting resume flags were corrected without changing production
+  code or relaxing authority; failed observations were retained.
+- **Next owner change:** `loopx/cli_commands/turn_run_once.py` imports DSH host
+  builders before selecting the host, although their call sites are under
+  `args.host == "dsh"`. The generic path therefore loads
+  `turn_dsh_host` and `dsh_goal_mode.turn_host_adapter` despite selecting neither.
+  Characterize the existing exports/patch points, then defer those builders at
+  their owning seam and recheck generic/DSH/Codex behavior and default-off parity.
+  Namespace counts alone do not justify deleting shared policy helpers.
+- **Remaining:** opt-in minimal selection, complete D2/D5 adoption, hard-lease
+  and context V2/V5 parity, interruption during unconfirmed host work, model-host
+  V4, full V10 and split-install qualification remain open. No new engine,
+  provider, default, authority field or runtime self-merge is introduced.
+
+### 2026-11-07 — Heartbeat pre-quota selected loading
+
+- **Baseline and owner:** `79665b97a`. The heartbeat builder already emits
+  `heartbeat-prequota` when external evidence polling is available. Its selected
+  parser reuses the existing heartbeat registrar; dispatch uses the existing
+  heartbeat transport module. The complete facade passes its original runner,
+  renderer and global-registry resolver patch points. Explicit/implicit routing,
+  aliases, format, timeout, exception, degraded-return and controller semantics
+  remain characterized; reconciliation/hook ordering and typed owners are unchanged.
+- **Source and package evidence:** 50 new transport/loading/real-backend cases;
+  22 cases on each of four independently verified source/wheel consoles; 16
+  configured/degraded File/SQLite console scenarios with replay, retained opaque
+  work and zero quota debit. Dropping `continue_to_quota` is rejected by the same
+  public-console oracle on both real stores. The existing acknowledgement smoke
+  now exercises both CLI facades. The full source selection initially has 378
+  passes and two route-test failures reproduced on the immutable baseline. The
+  fixture now reads the original digest-bound progressive capture without
+  re-admission; its complete affected file then passes all 17 cases. No failure
+  was waived. Focused lint, configured mypy and the code canary pass.
+- **Matched local cost:** macOS 27.0 arm64, Python 3.13.5, Node 26.0.0; identical
+  dependencies and synthetic stores, precompiled bytecode, fresh Python processes,
+  warm filesystem caches and reused isolated Node services. Thirty alternating
+  base/head pairs for each workload/distribution yield 360 samples in 339 seconds;
+  study setup/validation takes 260 seconds separately. This shared development
+  host was not an idle-machine experiment. Values below are wall median/p95 in
+  seconds and median process RSS in MiB, including interpreter startup.
+
+| Workload / distribution | Base median / p95 | Candidate median / p95 | Base → candidate RSS |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `source/prequota-help` | 1.433 / 1.889 | 0.172 / 0.226 | 91.5 → 24.7 |
+| `source/prequota-file-off` | 1.494 / 1.927 | 0.545 / 0.667 | 92.0 → 47.0 |
+| `source/prequota-sqlite-off` | 1.547 / 1.977 | 0.507 / 0.640 | 91.9 → 46.3 |
+| `wheel/prequota-help` | 1.555 / 1.967 | 0.170 / 0.210 | 91.7 → 24.5 |
+| `wheel/prequota-file-off` | 1.545 / 2.155 | 0.536 / 0.650 | 91.7 → 46.7 |
+| `wheel/prequota-sqlite-off` | 1.397 / 1.866 | 0.531 / 0.667 | 92.0 → 46.9 |
+
+- **Closure and complete-cost limits:** help loads 29 LoopX modules instead of
+  1,158; default-off execution loads 277 instead of 1,160. Python open observations
+  fall from 1,292–1,312 to 81–395. Opened-file size sums are footprints, not actual
+  read bytes. Median user/system process CPU is 0.04/0.02 seconds for candidate
+  help and 0.13–0.14/0.065–0.08 for execution, versus 0.40–0.42/0.16–0.185 at base.
+  Output remains 737 bytes for help and 827 for JSON execution. A separate SQLite
+  loopback profile observes 1,362 sent and 668 received bytes on each revision,
+  two Node starts for version/server discovery with a cold service and none with
+  a reused service. Its single instrumented cold/warm observations do not isolate
+  Node readiness or service CPU; those costs remain unqualified. The initial IPC
+  probe assumed Unix sockets and failed; loopback instrumentation corrected the
+  probe without changing product behavior. Help p95 of 0.226/0.210 seconds exceeds
+  the proposed 0.200-second target; that D6 proposal is not promoted or relabeled.
+- **Remaining:** this is one R0/V1/V3/V10 caller proposal, preserving I3 for at
+  least one minor release. Full R0/V10, M1/#8011, R1, context/model and split-install
+  qualification, installed-host recovery, adoption and complete task costs remain
+  open. The bounded Python change adapts transport; it adds no decision owner,
+  preset, provider or authority rule. Required final-head review/CI remains a
+  delivery gate distinct from these local observations.
+### 2026-11-07 — Registry inspection selected loading
+
+- **Baseline and boundary:** `ac6296225`. `registry` and `registry-boundary`
+  use the existing selected CLI route. Their shared registrar and transport
+  adapter stay in `cli_runtime`; the explicit full CLI reuses them through
+  `support_control`, retaining its inspection and renderer patch points.
+  Registry parsing, classification and Git decisions keep their existing owner.
+  Python adapts the CLI here; no new decision owner, provider or dispatcher
+  framework is introduced. Existing imports and I3's minimum one-minor-release
+  compatibility window remain intact.
+- **Compatibility evidence:** 197 source CLI and support-ownership cases pass,
+  including 26 new inspection/result/rejection/patch-point cases and two help
+  cases. An independent full-CLI loading exclusion fails on the immutable base
+  and passes on the candidate through the same public entrypoint. Twenty
+  successful and rejected requests preserve output, status and exception
+  semantics across source and independently installed monolithic-wheel consoles.
+  Help and read paths also work with Node absent and exclude the unselected
+  Chat, Dashboard and benchmark execution modules. Both revisions pass the real
+  Git registry-boundary smoke in disposable temporary directories; the earlier
+  run under `.local` failed because that ancestor intentionally selects a private
+  registry classification. The failure is retained as fixture-placement evidence.
+- **Cost qualification:** 30 interleaved base/head pairs for each of four
+  help/read workloads on both source and wheel yield 480 samples in 416.7s;
+  study setup/compatibility/profiling takes another 278.1s, excluding earlier
+  environment/wheel preparation and tests. On macOS arm64/Python 3.13.5 with
+  identical dependencies, precompiled bytecode and warm filesystem caches,
+  fresh-console help medians fall from 1.536–1.609s to 0.100–0.103s; registry
+  reads from 1.584–1.631s to 0.301–0.310s, and boundary reads from 1.542–1.612s
+  to 0.222–0.225s. Median RSS falls from about 91–92 MiB to 16–30 MiB.
+  Both help closures fall from 1,158 to 9 LoopX modules; registry/boundary reads
+  fall to 148/44. The PR records per-workload median/p95, CPU, separate audit
+  open counts and unchanged output bytes. No Node starts/IPC or Python-audit
+  socket events are observed; boundary reads keep their three Git queries.
+  Warm-cache block I/O is zero, while exact bytes read and native activity
+  outside the audit remain unknown. These results qualify local CLI cost
+  reductions, not portable D6 limits, full preparation/model costs or adoption.
+- **Validation and remaining work:** changed-file lint passes. The CI lint scope
+  still fails on the baseline-existing F841, whose repair is already proposed
+  separately; this result is not waived. Source and wheel evidence does not
+  upgrade an installed host. M1/#8011, full R0/V10, R1's real managed Turn,
+  context/model composition, split installation, adoption and complete costs
+  remain open. No D2/D5/D6/D3, default or authority decision changes. The related
+  bounded refactor shares the existing grammar and inspection adapter; larger
+  support/control extraction remains outside this slice.
+### 2026-11-06 — Selected Turn host loading seam
+
+Following the generic-cli/SQLite candidate in
+[#8180](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/pull/8180), the source proposal
+`9b80cf7d6` defers DSH builders at `turn_run_once` until a caller selects DSH
+or explicitly requests their established exports. Named imports, original
+builder identity, static types, `dir()`, star imports and the CLI's builder
+patch points remain available. The existing host/authority owners are reused;
+this does not select a minimal preset or adopt D2/D5.
+
+- **Observed delta:** the real generic-cli/SQLite task path loads 533 LoopX
+  modules instead of 538 at `62e234c93`. The five removed modules are
+  `turn_dsh_host`, `turn_driver.host_candidate`, `dsh_goal_mode` and its
+  `host_failure_map`/`turn_host_adapter`. No module is added. The cold-import
+  oracle fails at the baseline and passes at the proposal; the existing DSH
+  CLI fixture also proves the public builder patch point is used.
+- **Real-path parity:** the same private harness runs ordinary completion,
+  interruption after typed host-result persistence, original-journal resume
+  and committed replay on isolated SQLite fixtures at both revisions. Each
+  fixture ends with one host invocation/attempt, one writeback and one debit;
+  replay repeats none. Independent argv validators accept identical artifact
+  bytes. Each arm uses an isolated native broker whose shutdown and OS exit are
+  verified. This remains deterministic transport evidence, not model-host V4
+  or normal hard-lease V2 qualification.
+- **Observed costs:** one ordinary instrumented invocation per revision records
+  2.962 → 3.169 seconds, parent CPU 0.737 → 0.775 seconds and parent peak RSS
+  65.6 → 64.6 MiB; output remains 3,474 bytes. Waited-child CPU is
+  0.567 → 0.599 seconds. Cache, run order and competing work are not controlled;
+  these observations establish neither a latency improvement nor a regression
+  threshold. Broker RSS observations and waited-child usage do not measure
+  complete tree peaks, full wire/context bytes or model cost. The loading delta
+  is small; long-horizon benefit and D6 qualification remain unproven.
+- **Historical validation limits at `bc59a9ed4`:** the wider source selection records 596 passed and one
+  failed preview cold-import test; the baseline independently fails the same
+  test because `host_bridge_transport` eagerly imports
+  `extensions.process_runtime`. Owner-scoped mypy with `--follow-imports=skip`
+  reports the same 29 diagnostics at both revisions after line normalization;
+  it is not the full configured mypy suite. Neither failure is waived or
+  relabeled as passing. The process-helper seam below repairs that preview
+  failure in the same author proposal while retaining the type-check limitation.
+- **Remaining:** independent review, required validation and exact-head merge
+  readiness still govern adoption. Opt-in minimal selection, D2/D5 decisions,
+  full R0/V10/R1, hard-lease/context/model parity and split installation remain
+  open; the separate #8011 status proposal retains its limits. No authority,
+  provider, default, installed-host or release change is introduced.
+
+### 2026-11-06 — Preview process helpers remain with execution
+
+The follow-on runtime proposal `a44e27d96` repairs the unchanged preview import
+oracle. Deferring the bridge helpers first exposes a second eager import in
+`doctor_git`; both adapters now resolve the existing `process_runtime` owner
+at execution/cleanup or explicit import. Named/star imports, original function
+identity, static aliases, `dir()` and public patch points remain compatible.
+The TypeScript Host lifetime and process/permission decisions do not move.
+
+- **Observable result:** importing the preview command loads 337 LoopX modules
+  instead of 338 at `bc59a9ed4`, removing only `extensions.process_runtime`.
+  Successful real Git reads likewise leave cleanup unloaded. Actual generic-cli
+  execution still loads 533 modules in both arms because it needs those helpers.
+  This fixes a loading boundary; it establishes no speedup or long-horizon benefit.
+- **Real paths:** the same isolated SQLite harness passes ordinary completion,
+  typed-result interruption, original-journal recovery and committed replay at
+  both immutable runtime revisions. Artifacts remain identical; each fixture
+  has one host invocation/attempt, writeback and debit, with no replayed effect.
+  Both owned brokers stop with verified OS exit. Real bridge send/cancel,
+  backpressure, deadline and unconfirmed-cleanup cases retain their behavior;
+  real Git timeout/terminal cancellation retire the query's helpers. A cleanup
+  error retains the unknown diagnostic through the existing patch point.
+- **Limits:** seven Windows Job Object cases are skipped on macOS. One combined
+  validation attempt fails because the Git fixture's hook did not start within
+  its existing budget; the isolated Git selection subsequently passes without
+  changing that budget or oracle. Owner-scoped mypy checks all three touched
+  loading adapters and retains the same 29 diagnostics at base and proposal.
+  Full configured mypy, packaged/split installation, minimal selection, D2/D5,
+  complete R0/R1/V10, hard-lease/context/model parity and full-cost benefit remain
+  unqualified. Independent exact-head review and required validation still govern
+  adoption; the historical failures above remain historical failures.
+
+### 2026-11-06 — Paired cost campaign remains unqualified
+
+The bounded campaign at `a9485073f` versus `86d9c542d` produces useful negative
+evidence, not an attributable speedup. It ends at the frozen 20-minute sampling
+wall limit with 499 accepted observations: eight source groups have 30 pairs
+each; wheel JSON-version has nine pairs and one unmatched candidate observation.
+The other wheel groups were not sampled. The original criteria and every
+observation remain retained; neither the cap nor the incomplete groups become
+a passing qualification. Later integration of target `cd677182c` is outside
+these immutable measurements.
+
+The experiment uses macOS arm64, CPython 3.13.5, Node 26.0.0 and the real
+Node-owned SQLite 3.53.1 backend. Source and disposable monolithic `loopx` 2.2.0
+wheel environments have the same 57 dependency versions and verified import
+provenance. The public entrypoint exercises JSON version, selected
+`performance-diagnosis` help, status, quota admission and deterministic
+generic-cli work on the existing `_write_live_fixture(provider="sqlite")` owner.
+Order is fixed: source before wheel, that command order, cold before warm,
+alternating baseline/candidate order by pair. Each task has fresh synthetic
+state. Cold uses a fresh Python process and retired owned broker; warm uses a
+fresh Python process and retained broker. Filesystem caches are uncontrolled
+and bytecode writes are disabled; this is not a cold-disk claim.
+
+**Cache limitation:** existing bytecode was not normalized. A subsequent
+inventory finds 7 versus 1,241 LoopX `.pyc` files and 2 versus 344 dependency
+`.pyc` files in the source arms. JSON version loads the same 1,157 LoopX modules
+at both revisions; its parent read-open census is 2,402 versus 1,253. This
+invalidates attribution of the observed source reductions to the five-module
+loading change. The numbers below describe these cache conditions only.
+
+| Source operation | Broker condition | Baseline seconds, median / p95 | Candidate seconds, median / p95 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| JSON version | absent | 3.092 / 3.394 | 1.707 / 2.110 |
+| Selected help | absent | 0.093 / 0.174 | 0.101 / 0.165 |
+| Status | cold | 2.104 / 2.437 | 1.832 / 2.074 |
+| Status | warm | 1.304 / 1.422 | 0.985 / 1.115 |
+| Quota admission | cold | 2.481 / 2.720 | 2.029 / 2.331 |
+| Quota admission | warm | 1.785 / 1.881 | 1.313 / 1.460 |
+| Generic-cli task | cold | 3.910 / 4.158 | 3.446 / 3.803 |
+| Generic-cli task | warm | 2.837 / 3.025 | 2.424 / 2.635 |
+
+- **Covered costs:** cold task CPU for the target and waited descendants is
+  1.769 / 1.832 versus 1.283 / 1.388 seconds, median / p95; their maximum RSS
+  is 79.2 / 87.4 versus 75.5 / 78.7 MiB. Separate broker CPU is 0.720 / 0.780
+  versus 0.735 / 0.800 seconds, with end RSS 126.6 / 129.7 versus
+  128.3 / 133.5 MiB. These are not a concurrent tree peak or complete CPU ledger.
+  Outputs remain 81, 325, 21,829, 23,795 and 3,557 bytes for the five operations.
+  One-minute host load ranges from 5.00 to 14.42; this is a named-host observation.
+- **Separate instrumentation:** task loading remains 538 → 533 in source and
+  wheel. Cold task parent read/write-open counts are 2,179/284 → 1,643/284 in
+  source and 2,184/284 → 2,173/284 in wheel. All four captures make 238 local
+  IPC connections; covered socket send/receive bytes are 895,335/391,794 and
+  895,339/391,794 in source, 894,790/391,543 in both wheels. These cover the
+  observed Python sockets, not all context, transport or descendant I/O.
+  A separate source cold-task audit records parent/waited-child CPU
+  1.234/0.560 → 0.802/0.582 seconds and maximum RSS
+  88.7/75.3 → 63.4/75.4 MiB; these instrumented samples are not timing evidence.
+  The existing performance-diagnosis recipes inspect separate Pyinstrument
+  and actual Node-worker CPU profiles. Parent waits, workspace capture and
+  reads, and worker startup/retirement remain investigation leads; profile
+  elapsed/idle weights do not enter the timing table. Full JSON version uses
+  the full parser/export graph, while `--version` loads two LoopX modules.
+- **Semantic readback:** all sampled tasks independently accept the same eight
+  squared integers. Source and wheel at both revisions pass ordinary committed
+  replay, interruption after typed-result persistence, original-journal resume
+  and replay. Each accepted fixture has one host attempt/invocation, writeback
+  and debit; replay repeats none. Dropping the last square makes all four
+  independent validators reject, with one dispatch and zero writebacks/debits.
+  Owned brokers finish with OS PID-exit readback. One seed shutdown initially
+  targets a different interpreter-alias fingerprint; its failure is retained
+  and recovery uses the verified owned locator, without touching host state.
+- **Complete-cost limits and next work:** setup/orchestration is 888 seconds,
+  including 194 seconds of fixture preparation and a 98-second successful
+  preflight; unsuccessful bundle-build, invocation and preflight attempts remain
+  failures. Sampling target elapsed totals 1,001 seconds inside the 20-minute
+  wall cap. Separate semantic validation takes 39 seconds; artifact rejection
+  plus diagnosis/cleanup recovery takes 184 seconds; the instrumented census
+  takes 108 seconds, and task/version profiling 58/20 seconds. Subsequent
+  authoring/tool/model costs, complete native/thread work and full-tree peaks
+  remain incompletely covered. Both wheels contain 1,997 files and
+  approximately 8.9 MiB compressed; no split install is qualified. The next
+  cost experiment must match bytecode conditions and choose a feasible
+  representative source/wheel corpus from measured setup and invocation costs
+  before freezing it. Further loading edits await that comparison. R0/V10,
+  R1/minimal, D2/D5/D6, I3/D3, model/context/hard-lease and installation gaps
+  retain their existing owners and gates; this checkpoint closes none of them.
+
+### 2026-11-06 — Matched-bytecode representative cost checkpoint
+
+A new frozen comparison of `546c08c0d3f22358ef09b13e69f7edaa806121b8`
+and `0df5ad7921faab3b9ab8ec809f2fd71060692cce` completes all six selected
+source/wheel groups, each with 30 interleaved pairs: 360 accepted observations
+in 948.573 seconds, within the unchanged 1,200-second sampling cap. E7 remains
+an incomplete, cache-confounded experiment; these are separate observations.
+The measured proposal includes target main through `546c08c0d`. Later target
+integration is outside this immutable cost comparison.
+
+The environment remains macOS arm64, CPython 3.13.5, Node 26.0.0 and real
+Node-owned SQLite 3.53.1. All four source/monolithic-wheel environments have
+verified provenance and identical 57 dependency versions. Before freezing,
+each arm compiles stdlib, dependencies and all 1,421 LoopX Python sources into
+an owned `PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX`; timestamp-header inventories find no missing or
+invalid own/dependency caches. Relative source sets match within each
+distribution. Inventories and frozen harness hashes remain identical after
+sampling, recovery and profiles. Targets disable bytecode writes. Source runs
+before wheel, selected help before task, cold before warm; even pairs use
+baseline/candidate order and odd pairs reverse it. Every invocation has fresh
+Python; cold retires the owned broker and warm retains it. Disk cache remains
+uncontrolled. One-minute host load ranges from 8.35 to 88.73; retain every tail
+observation, without attributing the source cold p95 difference to the code.
+
+| Selected operation | Broker | Baseline seconds, median / p95 | Proposal seconds, median / p95 | Median paired proposal minus baseline, seconds |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Source help | absent | 0.136 / 0.193 | 0.138 / 0.168 | +0.0010 |
+| Source SQLite task | cold | 3.579 / 5.997 | 3.617 / 9.234 | -0.0195 |
+| Source SQLite task | warm | 2.673 / 3.019 | 2.657 / 2.979 | -0.0602 |
+| Wheel help | absent | 0.087 / 0.107 | 0.083 / 0.116 | -0.0033 |

+| Wheel SQLite task | warm | 2.707 / 3.111 | 2.797 / 3.156 | -0.0457 |
+
+The p95 uses nearest rank. Median paired differences and differences of arm
+medians are different statistics. No material latency or CPU benefit is
+demonstrated: arm medians and tails have mixed directions, and task CPU remains
+similar. These data qualify the representative comparison's completion and
+semantic parity, not a speed threshold, full V10 or long-horizon benefit.

+
+These RSS observations are not concurrent process-tree peaks; warm broker
+end RSS also reflects its retained lifetime. Help target/waited median RSS is
+17.56–17.85 MiB and median CPU is 0.046–0.056 seconds. Uninstrumented stdout is
+325 bytes for help, 3,557 for source tasks and 3,550 for wheel tasks in both
+arms; stderr is empty. Target/waited block-I/O counters do not measure all
+broker/native I/O.
+
+Separate instrumentation confirms task loading 538 → 533 in both distributions,
+with only the previously named five DSH modules removed; help stays at 12.
+Parent read-open counts are source cold 1,680 → 1,675, source warm 1,269 → 1,264,
+wheel cold 1,683 → 1,677 and wheel warm 1,272 → 1,267. Task write-opens stay at
+284 cold and 279 warm, with 238 observed parent local socket connections.
+Covered task send/receive bytes range from 893,698–894,864 / 392,608–392,859;
+the source proposal removes five send bytes and wheel bytes are unchanged.
+Help opens 31 files in source and 32 in wheel, with no writes or socket traffic.
+Instrumented task parent CPU is 0.635–0.774 seconds and peak RSS 62.3–65.5 MiB;
+waited-child CPU is 0.528–0.573 seconds and peak RSS 76.1–78.6 MiB. These single
+captures are a census, separate from the repeated timing results.
+
+The same isolated real SQLite fixtures at all four variants pass ordinary
+committed replay, interruption immediately after typed-result persistence,
+original-journal recovery and committed replay. Independent squared-integer
+artifact/transition oracles retain identical artifact bytes and one host
+invocation/attempt, one writeback and one debit. Resume does not redispatch;
+replay repeats no effect. Removing the final square produces exit 1 / failed
+with one dispatch and zero writebacks/debits in every variant. All owned
+brokers have shutdown/OS-exit readback; no experimental broker remains live.
+
+Setup/orchestration costs 1,018.786 seconds, including overlapping build,
+installation, fixture and cache work; those phases must not be summed.
+The separate rejection phase costs 16.056 seconds, instrumentation 39.116 and
+eight parent/actual-Node profile captures 54.880. Recovery/replay target time
+is recorded separately; its complete orchestration cost remains uncovered.
+Existing `performance-diagnosis` recipes report workspace capture, journal
+checkpoints, Git probes and quota preparation among Python observations; Node
+profiles include startup, request dispatch, idle and retirement. Sampled stack
+weights are neither benchmark latency nor proof of a root cause; inclusive
+weights, warmup and retirement cannot be added as task savings. Full context
+and process-tree/native/thread/model costs remain unknown. Monolithic wheels
+remain approximately 8.9 MiB; this does not qualify split installation.
+
+**Evidence-conditioned next action:** retain the tested compatibility/loading
+seams, and stop expanding these helpers for an unproven speedup. Prioritize a
+bounded characterization of the existing full-parser/export closure or the
+measured workspace/journal/bridge owner, then require a new matched real-path
+comparison before adopting a performance change. This checkpoint creates no
+new owner, budget, preset or default. R0's complete census, R1/minimal,
+D2/D5/D6, I3/D3, hard-lease/context/model and split-install acceptance remain
+open; independent exact-head review and required validation govern adoption.

+- **已集成：** [#8012](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/pull/8012)
+  于 11 月 4 日将提案 head `58442be4d` 合并为 `83f569178`。在独立准备的
+  `main` 版本 `62e234c93` 上，全部 23 个发现与受保护分发用例通过。复验命令：
+  `uv run --extra test python -m pytest -q tests/test_cli_entrypoint.py -k 'capability_discovery or capability_non_discovery'`。
+  这验证当前源码集成；此前安装 wheel 与成对性能证据仍绑定原版本和环境。本次
+  复验不证明已安装宿主或新 wheel 的资格。
+- **已解决的前置问题：** [#8054](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/pull/8054)
+  （`886f2cdff`）将 capture I/O 移出 settlement plan 的冷 import。
+  `uv run --extra test python -m pytest -q tests/architecture/test_control_plane_import_boundaries.py::test_settlement_plan_import_does_not_load_native_capture_io`
+  在 `62e234c93` 上通过。11 月 4 日的失败仍是历史证据；后续修复移除了这一
+  特定 import 阻塞。本版本没有重跑更广的套件或配置的 mypy，不能将此前结果改写
+  为当前通过资格。
+- **下一源码切片：** 刻画既有 `generic-cli` managed Turn 路径，使用 SQLite
+  authority 并关闭可选任务 hook，作为所选 D2/D5 装配的候选。复用 Turn、host
+  selector 与类型化 authority owner。`tests/test_loopx_turn_driver.py` 中既有
+  CLI 中断与 successor 重放测试可定位集成接缝，但不证明 minimal preset。
+  下一片必须明确实际依赖闭包，并通过隔离、能产生任务产物的宿主进程验证中断、
+  重启和独立验收后的结果回读，保留原身份且不重复已确认效果。确定性的本地宿主
+  可以验证其合成 transport 边界，不证明模型宿主或完整 V4 旅程。
+- **剩余：** 完整 R0/V10、M1/I3/D3、独立 status 提案 #8011、拆包安装与 R1
+  均未关闭。D2/D5 仍由 owner 决策；本候选不改变 preset、默认值、执行权限或
+  发布承诺。继续移动目录不构成下一条执行证据。
+
+### 2026-11-06 — generic-cli/SQLite 装配候选与恢复证据
+
+这是 D2/D5 候选及源码刻画，不是已批准的 preset。复用既有 Turn、宿主选择、
+authority 与 settlement owner。
+
+| 维度 | 候选／观察到的边界 |
+| --- | --- |
+| 安装 | 当前单体 `loopx` 源码 checkout；macOS arm64 上 Python 3.13.5、Node 26.0.0。test extras 只准备实验，不是最小安装；不证明拆分发行物或已安装宿主资格 |
+| 宿主 | 既有 `generic-cli`、`isolated-headless`，经 `--host-adapter-command-json` 使用 JSON stdio；一个确定性的本地任务产物进程和独立、受信 argv 验收器。该夹具无须模型 session 或 workspace/IM 服务 |
+| Authority | 经既有 TypeScript effect runtime 及本地 RPC 传输使用规范 SQLite，并复用 Turn journal、验收与结算。测试脚手架以 `soft_claim` shadow 初始化；不能仅靠这些证据证明正常 hard-lease 的 V2 一致性 |
+| 必需的逻辑内核 | Bootstrap／所选 CLI、TurnEnvelope 与宿主准入、当前 authority／stop／budget／claim 规则、journal／恢复、进程监督、独立验收和结果／结算回读。owner 与 standard 共享 |
+| 可选激活 | 夹具不启用任务 memory 或其他可选 hook，不运行模型任务或外部操作。加载 settings／policy helper 不证明激活，也不授权删除它们 |
+| 身份与恢复 | 使用 `--resume-turn-key` 恢复原 journal；该路径有意拒绝新的 `--turn-instance-id`。复用缓存中已确认的宿主工作；未确认工作及其他中断点继续由各自契约治理 |
+
+- **真实任务与恢复：** 真实宿主进程写出零至七的平方数，独立进程检查预先给定的
+  字面数组。正常路径和 typed host result 持久化后对所持 CLI 注入 OS `SIGKILL`
+  的路径，在各自隔离 SQLite 夹具中最终都只有一次宿主调用、一次 writeback 和
+  一次扣额。中断路径在重启前没有扣额；重启验收缓存结果，不再次调用宿主。随后
+  committed 重放报告没有重复 host／writeback／扣额／scheduler 效果。两条路径的
+  产物字节一致；没有对活跃项目状态注入故障。
+- **实际加载：** 产品版本 `62e234c93` 上，正常 Python 路径加载 538 个 LoopX
+  模块，涉及 21 个 capability 命名空间，不加载 `loopx.cli` 或 `loopx.chat` 树。
+  第二轮使用隔离的既有 runtime broker 和透明 Node module-load observer；其
+  bootstrap、执行与恢复加载 `control_plane` 下 231 个 TypeScript 文件和八个
+  JSON 文件。这是观察到的闭包，不是已批准的 core 成员。已核验私有 broker 的
+  身份、停止 ACK 和进程退出；没有停止共享服务。
+- **成本与限制：** 父进程插桩区分必需本地 RPC 与外部网络连接，后者观察为零。
+  正常调用观察到 34 个 Git 子进程、一个 Node 版本探测、一个 Node 宿主监督器和
+  一个 Python 验收器；监督器另行启动任务宿主。child／broker CPU 与 RSS、完整
+  wire／context 字节及模型宿主成本尚未测量。这些小规模插桩演练不是重复的成对
+  性能采样，不建立 D6 预算或长程收益证据。
+- **独立回归证据：** `tests/test_loopx_turn_driver.py` 中
+  `test_managed_start_interruption_preserves_reservation_and_attempt` 的六个
+  SQLite 用例，以及 `test_turn_run_once_cli_rejects_unproven_host_claim_before_writeback`
+  和 `test_turn_run_once_cli_replays_declared_successor_after_interruption` 均通过。
+  探针设置拒绝与产品失败分别保留：过宽网络 observer、错误的 host-request schema
+  及冲突的恢复 flags 已修正，不改生产代码、不放松权限，失败观察仍保留。
+- **下一 owner 变更：** `loopx/cli_commands/turn_run_once.py` 在选宿主前导入
+  DSH host builder，但调用点只在 `args.host == "dsh"` 分支。generic 路径因此
+  加载未选择的 `turn_dsh_host` 和 `dsh_goal_mode.turn_host_adapter`。先刻画既有
+  export／patch 点，再在其 owner 接缝延迟加载，并复验 generic／DSH／Codex 行为
+  与默认关闭一致性。命名空间数量本身不支持删除共享 policy helper。
+- **剩余：** opt-in minimal 选择、完整 D2/D5 采纳、hard-lease 与上下文 V2/V5
+  一致性、尚未确认的宿主工作期间中断、模型宿主 V4、完整 V10 与拆包安装资格仍
+  未关闭。不引入新 engine、provider、默认值、权限字段或 runtime self-merge。
+
+### 2026-11-07 — Heartbeat pre-quota 按需加载

+### 2026-11-07 — Registry 检查的选择性加载
+
+- **基线与边界：** `ac6296225`。`registry` 和 `registry-boundary` 使用现有
+  selected CLI 路由。共享注册器与传输适配器留在 `cli_runtime`；显式完整 CLI
+  通过 `support_control` 复用它们，保留原有检查函数与 renderer patch point。
+  Registry 解析、分类及 Git 判定仍归现有 owner。Python 在此只适配 CLI，不新增
+  决策 owner、provider 或 dispatcher 框架。既有导入与 I3 至少一个 minor release
+  的兼容窗口保持不变。
+- **兼容证据：** 源码 CLI 与 support ownership 的 197 个用例通过，包含新增的
+  26 个检查结果、拒绝与 patch-point 用例及两个 help 用例。独立的完整 CLI 加载
+  排除断言经同一公开入口，在不可变基线上失败、候选版本上通过。20 个成功与
+  拒绝请求在源码及独立安装的单体 wheel 控制台上保持输出、状态与异常语义一致。
+  Help 与读取路径在缺少 Node 时仍可用，并排除未选择的 Chat、Dashboard 和
+  benchmark 执行模块。两版本在一次性临时目录中均通过真实 Git registry-boundary
+  smoke；先前放在 `.local` 下的运行失败，因为该祖先路径会按既有规则选择私有
+  registry 分类。这次失败作为 fixture 放置证据保留。
+- **成本资格：** 源码与 wheel 各四条 help/读取路径，每条运行 30 对交替 base/head
+  样本，共 480 个样本，采样耗时 416.7 秒；研究准备、兼容验证及 profiling 另耗时
+  278.1 秒，不含此前环境、wheel 准备及测试。macOS arm64/Python 3.13.5、相同依赖、

+  PR 记录逐路径 median/p95、CPU、独立 audit 的文件打开次数及未改变的输出字节。
+  未观察到 Node 启动/IPC 或 Python audit socket 事件；边界读取保留三次 Git 查询。
+  暖缓存块 I/O 为零，准确读取字节数及 audit 之外的原生活动仍未知。这些结果只限定
+  本地 CLI 成本改善，不建立可移植 D6 限值、完整准备/model 成本或采纳结论。
+- **验证与剩余工作：** 改动文件 lint 通过。CI lint 范围仍失败于基线已有的 F841，

+
+承接 [#8180](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/pull/8180) 的
+generic-cli/SQLite 候选，源码提案 `9b80cf7d6` 在 `turn_run_once` 延迟加载 DSH
+builder，直到调用方选择 DSH 或显式请求既有 export。命名 import、原 builder
+身份、静态类型、`dir()`、star import 与 CLI builder patch 点均保留。复用既有
+宿主／authority owner；这不选择 minimal preset，也不代表 D2/D5 已采纳。
+
+- **观察到的变化：** 真实 generic-cli/SQLite 任务路径加载 533 个 LoopX 模块，
+  基线 `62e234c93` 为 538。移出的五个模块是 `turn_dsh_host`、
+  `turn_driver.host_candidate`、`dsh_goal_mode` 及其 `host_failure_map`／
+  `turn_host_adapter`，没有新增模块。冷 import oracle 在基线失败、提案通过；
+  既有 DSH CLI 夹具还证明公开 builder patch 点被使用。
+- **真实路径一致性：** 同一个私有 harness 在两个版本的隔离 SQLite 夹具上运行
+  正常完成、typed host result 持久化后中断、原 journal 恢复及 committed 重放。
+  每个夹具最终仅一次宿主调用／attempt、一次 writeback 和一次扣额，重放不重复
+  效果。独立 argv 验收器接受字节相同的产物。每个版本使用隔离 native broker，
+  已核验停止与 OS 退出。这仍是确定性 transport 证据，不是模型宿主 V4 或正常
+  hard-lease V2 的资格。
+- **观察成本：** 每个版本一次正常插桩调用记录耗时 2.962 → 3.169 秒，父进程
+  CPU 0.737 → 0.775 秒、峰值 RSS 65.6 → 64.6 MiB；输出均为 3,474 字节。
+  已 wait 子进程的 CPU 为 0.567 → 0.599 秒。缓存、执行顺序与竞争工作未受控，
+  这些观察不证明延迟改善，也不建立回归阈值。broker RSS 观察及 wait 子进程的
+  usage 不覆盖完整进程树峰值、完整 wire／context 字节或模型成本。加载变化较小，
+  长程收益和 D6 资格仍未证明。
+- **`bc59a9ed4` 的历史验证限制：** 更广的源码选择为 596 个通过、一个 preview 冷 import 测试失败；
+  基线独立出现同一失败，原因是 `host_bridge_transport` 提前导入
+  `extensions.process_runtime`。owner 范围的 mypy 使用 `--follow-imports=skip`，
+  两个版本在线号归一化后均报告相同 29 个诊断，不代表完整配置的 mypy 套件。
+  两项失败均不豁免、不改写为通过。下述 process helper 接缝在同一作者提案中
+  修复 preview 失败，并保留类型检查限制。
+- **剩余：** 采纳仍受独立评审、必需验证和精确 head 的 merge readiness 治理。
+  opt-in minimal 选择、D2/D5 决策、完整 R0/V10/R1、hard-lease／上下文／模型
+  一致性和拆包安装仍未关闭；独立 status 提案 #8011 保留原限制。不改变权限、
+  provider、默认值、已安装宿主或发布行为。
+
+### 2026-11-06 — Preview process helper 保留在执行路径
+
+后续 runtime 提案 `a44e27d96` 修复未改动的 preview import oracle。先延迟
+bridge helper 暴露了 `doctor_git` 的第二条 eager import；两个 adapter 现均在
+执行／清理或显式 import 时解析既有 `process_runtime` owner。命名／star import、
+原函数身份、静态 alias、`dir()` 和公开 patch 点均保留。TypeScript Host lifetime
+及进程／权限判定不迁移。
+
+- **可观察结果：** 导入 preview command 加载 337 个 LoopX 模块，`bc59a9ed4`
+  为 338，仅移出 `extensions.process_runtime`。真实 Git 成功读取同样不加载清理
+  helper。实际 generic-cli 执行仍需要这些 helper，两个版本均加载 533 个模块。
+  本片修复加载边界，不证明提速或长程收益。
+- **真实路径：** 同一个隔离 SQLite harness 在两个不可变 runtime 版本通过正常
+  完成、typed result 后中断、原 journal 恢复及 committed 重放。产物字节相同，
+  每个夹具仅一次宿主调用／attempt、writeback 和扣额，重放无重复效果。两个自有
+  broker 均停止并核验 OS 退出。真实 bridge send／cancel、背压、deadline 和清理
+  未确认分支保留行为；真实 Git 超时／终端取消退役查询自有 helper。清理错误通过
+  既有 patch 点保留 unknown 诊断。
+- **限制：** macOS 跳过七个 Windows Job Object 用例。一轮组合验证因 Git 夹具
+  hook 未在既有预算内启动而失败；随后隔离 Git 选择通过，未修改预算或 oracle。
+  owner 范围的 mypy 检查三个受影响加载 adapter，基线与提案仍有相同 29 个诊断。
+  完整配置 mypy、打包／拆包安装、minimal 选择、D2/D5、完整 R0/R1/V10、
+  hard-lease／上下文／模型一致性及完整成本收益仍未取得资格。采纳仍受独立精确
+  head 评审与必需验证治理；前述历史失败仍是历史失败。
+
+### 2026-11-06 — 成对成本实验仍未取得资格
+
+`a9485073f` 对比 `86d9c542d` 的有界实验产生了有用的负面证据，未证明可归因的

+八个源码组各完成 30 对；wheel 的 JSON version 完成九对，另有一个未配对的候选
+观察，其余 wheel 组未采样。原标准和全部观察均保留；上限触发及未完成组不改写为
+资格通过。随后集成的目标 `cd677182c` 不在这组不可变版本的测量中。
+
+环境为 macOS arm64、CPython 3.13.5、Node 26.0.0，真实 backend 是 Node owner
+的 SQLite 3.53.1。源码和隔离的单体 `loopx` 2.2.0 wheel 环境具有相同的 57 个
+依赖版本，并核验实际 import 来源。公开入口依次运行 JSON version、所选
+`performance-diagnosis` help、status、quota admission 和确定性 generic-cli
+任务，复用既有 `_write_live_fixture(provider="sqlite")` owner。顺序冻结为源码
+先于 wheel、上述命令顺序、冷路径先于暖路径，每对交替基线／候选顺序。每个任务
+使用新的合成状态。冷路径为新 Python 进程加已退役的自有 broker；暖路径为新
+Python 进程加保留的 broker。文件系统缓存未受控、禁止写入字节码，不声明冷磁盘。
+
+**缓存限制：** 既有字节码未归一化。后续盘点发现源码组 LoopX `.pyc` 数为
+7 对 1,241，依赖 `.pyc` 数为 2 对 344。两个版本的 JSON version 均加载
+1,157 个 LoopX 模块，父进程 read-open census 为 2,402 对 1,253。因此不能把
+源码观察到的下降归因于五个模块的加载变化；下表仅描述这些缓存条件。

+  send/receive 字节为源码 895,335/391,794 与 895,339/391,794，两个 wheel 均为
+  894,790/391,543，仅覆盖已观察的 Python socket，不覆盖全部 context、transport
+  或后代 I/O。独立源码冷任务 audit 的父进程／已 wait 子进程 CPU 为
+  1.234/0.560 → 0.802/0.582 秒，最大 RSS 为 88.7/75.3 → 63.4/75.4 MiB；
+  这些 instrumentation 样本不作为计时证据。既有 performance-diagnosis recipe 分别检查 Pyinstrument 和实际
+  Node worker CPU profile。父进程等待、workspace capture 和读取，以及 worker
+  启动／退役仍是调查线索；profile elapsed／idle 权重不进入计时表。完整 JSON
+  version 走 full parser/export graph，`--version` 仅加载两个 LoopX 模块。
+- **语义回读：** 所有已采样任务通过独立断言，产物为相同的八个整数平方。源码和
+  wheel 在两个版本均通过正常 committed 重放、typed result 落盘后中断、原
+  journal 恢复及重放。每个被接受的夹具仅一次宿主 attempt／调用、writeback 和
+  扣额，重放不重复效果。移除最后一个平方值使四个独立 validator 均拒绝，只有
+  一次 dispatch、零 writeback／扣额。自有 broker 结束后核验 OS PID 退出。
+  一个 seed shutdown 起初选到不同 interpreter alias 的 fingerprint；保留该失败，
+  随后通过核验过的自有 locator 恢复，未触及宿主状态。
+- **完整成本限制及下一步：** setup／编排为 888 秒，包含 194 秒夹具准备和
+  98 秒成功 preflight；失败的 bundle build、调用及 preflight 尝试仍为失败。
+  20 分钟墙钟上限内，采样 target elapsed 总计 1,001 秒。独立语义验证耗时
+  39 秒；产物拒绝及诊断／清理恢复 184 秒；instrumented census 为 108 秒，
+  任务／version profiling 为 58/20 秒。后续撰写／工具／模型成本、完整
+  native／thread 工作及进程树峰值仍未完整覆盖。两个 wheel 均有
+  1,997 个文件、压缩体积约 8.9 MiB，不代表拆包安装资格。下一轮成本实验必须
+  对齐字节码条件，并在冻结前根据实际准备／调用成本选定可完成的代表性
+  source/wheel corpus；进一步加载修改等待该对照。R0/V10、R1/minimal、D2/D5/D6、

+the full decision, exact-profile feedback and prior execution attribution; the
+default projection does not repeat that full record.
+Counterevidence requests reassessment at the next concrete choice; it is not a
+new hard gate, fidelity certification, permission to waive correctness or an

+Research reader qualifies the original HTTP/SQLite history on desktop and narrow
+screens. Lark uses its existing finding-summary projection, with no external send

+
+## If I already use Codex `/goal`, what should I try with LoopX?
+
+[OpenAI documents native Goal](https://developers.openai.com/cookbook/examples/codex/using_goals_in_codex)
+as durable state within a thread, with completion, budget and continuation
+controls. LoopX adds a project work record of accepted requirements, Todos,
+ownership, decisions and evidence that connected sessions and Agents can share.
+In Codex CLI, it still uses native `/goal` to drive continuation, as described
+in step 2. You can start with one Agent; adding another host or Agent requires
+its own setup. Check whether the retained work actually informs later actions.
+
+Choose a real job where you need to inspect that continuity:
+
+| Job | A concrete change during the work | What to inspect before accepting it |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Keep finding and fixing bugs in one module | You add a compatibility constraint after several repairs | The existing LoopX Goal retains the new constraint, earlier valid requirements and evidence; the next repair follows them |
+| Work through a PR review queue | A PR changes its head, or one merge needs your decision | Findings identify the reviewed revision; that decision holds the affected merge while independent authorized reviews can continue |
+| Supervise a longer research effort | An experiment fails or new evidence challenges the current approach | Failed and uncertain results remain available; the Agent explains why it changes or continues the approach, and records the resulting outcome and cost |
+
+For the recurring job in step 5, try a natural follow-up in the **same Goal**:
+
+```text
+For future repairs, leave each patch uncommitted until I review it.
+Keep the other accepted requirements and existing results. Before continuing,
+show where this correction is retained and which next action changes.
+```
+
+Inspect the retained work and the next actual patch. An acknowledgement or a
+Todo being marked done does not show that the correction was followed. You
+should not need to maintain a second goal document yourself.
+
+The creator's [reported uses](https://x.com/huangruiteng/status/2118539848235803121)
+include research supervision, PR review, product iteration and refactoring.
+These are use cases, not a controlled performance comparison. If your current
+Goal workflow already delivers what you need, keep it. LoopX adds state,
+validation and continuation work with their own costs; this small exercise
+does not establish a quality or efficiency advantage over native Goal.

+Configured Explore whiteboards apply the same visibility boundary to node and
+edge display text before SVG or Mermaid is encoded, and shared Explore stage
+documents sanitize lane labels before their `docs +update` content is built.
+Redaction never runs over raw markup, so encoded tags and diagram delimiters

+Explore synchronization uses the same shared boundary.

+data-loss-prevention system: it does not classify every arbitrary high-entropy
+value without a provider prefix or credential label. Never paste credentials
+into board fields, and rotate any credential that may already have reached shared
+storage rather than relying on later clean-up.

+56 tail records; the longer worker-session file is retained. Earlier Schema
+session history keeps its original identity. Complete captured files do not
+establish whole-run coverage or active duration. Invalid/cancelled statuses,
+unknown adoption/cost and unqualified scientific comparisons remain explicit.
+The earlier checkpoint release below remains available at its original version.

+中文：三例现有真实展示样例现在关联到同一固定 HF 版本的完整已捕获会话，保留
+原文、身份、取消/无效状态及未知覆盖。Schema 较短副本缺少的 56 条尾部记录已
+由较长原文件保留；清单和逐字段脱敏审计可查，不据此推断科学收益或完整运行覆盖。

Build and launch the real bundle with a controlled executable path, convert semantic observations into assertions, persist status-only and Agent-backed messages independently, test refresh plus restart recovery, and require every design criterion to be PASS or explicitly gated before claiming the surface complete. |
 | `dashboard_status_source_generation_gap` | Switching between local and SSH sources leaves the old Goal list visible, or the selector and route oscillate between two sources after a slow tunnel ensure or status response. | User selection order, tunnel-ensure start/finish order, status fetch start/finish order, requested and loaded URLs, projection revision, route commits, and the rendered Goal identity. | Request freshness starts only after SSH preparation, a foreground request captures its revision before advancing it, or an older route commit clears a newer pending selection. | Fence the complete selection transaction—from user intent through tunnel ensure, fetch, payload commit, and route commit—with one monotonic selection generation plus a projection revision. Let only the current generation clear pending state; reject background responses whose target is no longer the committed source. Cover delayed A/B fetches and delayed SSH-then-local selection with a focused browser smoke that asserts payload, selector, and route remain aligned. |

+"""One owner decides the reviewer-notification queue receipt schema version.
+
+``issue_fix_reviewer_notification_queue_receipt_v1`` names one wire contract, and
+two modules stated it: ``loopx/domain_packs/issue_fix.py``, which the capability
+surface already imports for the local-time shape, and
+``loopx/capabilities/issue_fix/reviewer_notification.py``, which restated it under
+an ``ISSUE_FIX_`` prefix. A version bump in one file would have left the other
+accepting the previous contract, which is the failure the local-time owner test
+was written to prevent.
+
+Layer 1 judges folded values rather than spellings, so a copy written across
+lines, built with ``+``, declared with a type annotation, or interpolated from
+same-file constants into an f-string is reported too.
+Layer 2 pins the consuming module to the owner's object and checks that it keeps
+no local binding. Layer 3 records that the current and legacy receipts stay
+distinct at the boundary that reads a queued receipt.
