Seven commits. The first corrects a regression #480 shipped; the rest are the
fixes that review surfaced, ending with the one that makes codex exact resume
actually work rather than merely stop refusing.

The regression #480 shipped

72af48fd6 — the guard asked has_backend_session_id_acquisition_path about
the raw toolConfigKey, while discovery resolves a session through
discovery_tool_key_for_session, which takes the command's basename and falls
back to command. A project tool keyed codex-high whose command is codex
is discoverable and its conversation IS recoverable — but the guard, asked
about the spelling, skipped it unconditionally and let the restart proceed.
That is this repo's own "key on identity, not spelling" rule, broken while
writing the guard the rule exists for. Latent on this machine (every config
uses the stock keys) but shipped.

Two gates that proved nothing

1a91a00df — deleting codex_exclude_backend_session_ids: claimed.clone(),
or making the presence call floorless, failed no test. Both were composed onto
::default() inside a closure no test could execute, because there was no way
to point it anywhere but the developer's own ~/.codex. The lookup now
carries its discovery options. Both mutations fail now, which was the point.

The test that existed seeded both cache keys and asserted which was read —
key derivation, not what the scan asks — and on a key miss would have scanned
whichever real store the machine had. It is replaced by three that drive the
real scan, including two agents in one checkout getting their own answers
rather than sharing a cached one.

Errors that read as absence

0b6c6c529 — undateable was reached only by the floor arm, so an unreadable
first line, unparseable JSON, a line 1 that is not session_meta, a missing
payload or cwd, or an id that is not a uuid all counted as neither present nor
uncertain, and the checkout read as confirmed empty.

Routing them all into undateable is the obvious fix and the wrong one: only
line 1 carries cwd, so a record we cannot read belongs to no checkout we can
name, and calling it uncertainty for THIS one would let a single corrupt
rollout refuse every restart everywhere — the refusal this module exists to
stop. They are split by what is known: names this checkout but yields no
identity → fails closed; cannot be attributed at all → counted, returned with
its path, and reported at warn.

Three more the reviewers found

18d9c1418 — encode_claude_project_path mapped / to - with no trim, so a
worktreePath with a trailing slash encoded a directory Claude never wrote;
discovery found nothing and restore started fresh over live history. Of 35 real
Claude project directories, none ends in -, because Claude names them after
its own getcwd(). The codex side had been fixed for this; the comment
claiming parity with Claude was simply wrong.

a578a201f — sole_unidentified_claimant counted only live siblings, so an
offline id-less sibling did not count and its transcript could be adopted by a
neighbour. An offline session is restorable, which is exactly the ability to
come back and claim it. Now a deny-list — everything not graveyarded — so a
status nobody has thought of yet fails closed.

a45c2d572 — aimux worktree prune printed "found no stale entries" while
rows sat on screen flagged missing. Both were true: it runs git worktree prune, and git had never been told about them. It now names what it could not
clean and the verb that does.

What actually fixes codex resume

08e909799 — nothing ever recorded a codex conversation id. The offline
reconciler runs once at project-service startup, for offline sessions only, so
a live agent stayed id-less for its whole life. A periodic task now captures
the id as soon as the agent's own transcript appears.

It deliberately does not reuse the restore path's rule. Restore records the
only transcript in a checkout without consulting the launch time — reasonable
for a stopped agent being brought back, and the severe direction for a live
one: a checkout holding one transcript from a previous agent would have that
conversation written onto it, after which restore reopens somebody else's
history and the guard waves the session through because it now has an id. The
mutation proves it concretely — drop the floor and the test captures another
agent's uuid onto an agent that owns nothing.

Gates

Ten mutations across the seven commits, each verified applied before the run
was trusted, because rustfmt silently reverted one earlier in this work and a
new file does not show in git diff at all. 789 lib tests, every affected
integration target, zero clippy warnings, yarn verify.

Known and not fixed here

restorability_for still does not consult the unacquirable reason, so spawn
can warn "cannot be restored" while the app offers Resume. I tried it and
backed it out: returning blocked restorability also removes the session's
restart options, which two lifecycle tests caught, and a conversation that
cannot be exact-resumed can still be relaunched. Real, worth fixing, not by
taking a working capability away.

Post-merge review found a regression I shipped in #480, in the direction
that loses conversations.

The guard asked `has_backend_session_id_acquisition_path` about
`restart_guard_session_tool`, which is the raw `toolConfigKey`. Discovery
resolves a session through `discovery_tool_key_for_session`, which takes
the command's basename and falls back to `command` itself. So a project
tool keyed `codex-high` whose command is `codex` is discoverable and its
conversation IS recoverable -- but the guard, asked about the spelling,
skipped it unconditionally and let the restart proceed. The presence check
compared `== "codex"` the same way. Both now key on the discovery
identity. This is the repo's own "key on identity, not spelling" rule, and
I broke it while writing the guard that rule exists for.

`restorability_for` keys on identity too, for the same reason.

It does NOT also reject a tool that claims exact resume with no
acquisition path, although spawn warns about exactly that. Doing so
returns a blocked restorability, which removes the session's restart
options as well -- two lifecycle tests caught it -- and a conversation
that cannot be exact-resumed can still be relaunched. The two surfaces do
disagree today and it is worth fixing, but not by taking a working
capability away to do it.

The shipped-config gate compares a set rather than a list, since
`preserve_order` otherwise let the config's key order decide whether the
assertion held.

Gate prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first: reverting the
guard to the raw spelling fails the new identity test, whose control is a
genuinely unknown tool that must still be skipped.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: 631f69d
Two wirings compiled and were proven by nothing. Deleting
`codex_exclude_backend_session_ids: claimed.clone()`, or making the
presence call floorless, failed no test -- because both were composed onto
`BackendSessionDiscoveryOptions::default()` inside a closure no test could
execute. There was no way to point it anywhere but the developer's own
~/.codex, so no test ran it at all.

`CodexPresenceLookup` now carries its discovery options, production
passing the default and tests supplying a temp store. Both mutations fail
now, which is the whole point of the phase.

The test that did exist seeded both cache keys and asserted which one was
read. That proves key derivation, not what the scan asks, and on a key
miss it would have scanned whichever real store the machine had -- it
discriminated by accident of environment. It is replaced by three tests
that drive the real scan: the launch floor against a planted transcript,
a sibling's recorded id actually reaching the exclusion, and two agents in
one checkout getting their own answers rather than sharing a cached one.
That last restores what the deleted test covered, and goes further by
proving it through the scan instead of through the map.

`append_runtime_session_with_window` exists because
`persist_runtime_session_with_window` rewrites `sessions` wholesale. It
appends the node as well: `coerce_runtime_topology` prunes a session whose
nodeId names no node, which silently discarded the first attempt and made
the sibling test fail for a reason that had nothing to do with the code
under test.

Gates prove-failed, each mutation diff-verified first: floorless fails the
floor test, dropping the exclusion fails the sibling test, and collapsing
the cache key to the checkout fails the two-agent test.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: 52b1943
`undateable` was reached only by the floor arm, so every earlier reject --
an unreadable first line, unparseable JSON, a line 1 that is not
`session_meta`, a missing payload or cwd, an id that is missing or not a
uuid -- counted as neither present nor uncertain. The checkout read as
confirmed empty and the restart proceeded over whatever was there.

Routing all of them into `undateable` was the obvious fix and is the wrong
one. Only line 1 carries `cwd`: later lines do not, and the filename holds
a timestamp and a uuid and nothing else. So a record we cannot read is a
record we cannot assign to any checkout, and calling it uncertainty for
THIS checkout would let one corrupt rollout refuse every restart in every
checkout for ever -- the refusal this module exists to stop, wearing a
different hat.

They are split by what is actually known. A record that names this
checkout and yields no usable identity is this checkout's uncertainty and
fails closed. A record that cannot be attributed at all is counted,
returned to the caller with its path, and reported by the guard at warn --
it does not block, but it is an error and an error nobody sees is how this
class survives.

`presence_from_scan` is now the single place the three answers are
decided, so the rule cannot drift between callers.

`ids` is unchanged: a transcript is still adopted only when it names the
checkout, carries a uuid, is unclaimed and passes the floor, so discovery
and restore behave exactly as before.

Gates prove-failed, mutations diff-verified first: silently skipping an
unusable id fails the identification test, and treating an unattributable
record as this checkout's uncertainty fails the test that one corrupt file
must not refuse every restart.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: 830cfcf
`encode_claude_project_path` mapped '/' and '.' to '-' with no trimming, so
a `worktreePath` carrying a trailing slash encoded a directory Claude never
wrote. Discovery found nothing, and restore read that as an empty history
and started the agent fresh over a live conversation.

Claude names the directory after its own process cwd, and `getcwd()` never
returns a trailing slash: of 35 real directories in a live store, none ends
in '-'. So trimming agrees with what Claude writes rather than diverging
from it. The codex scan was fixed for this exact case earlier; claude was
left behind, and the comment claiming the codex fix followed "the way the
Claude path already compares" was simply wrong. Both now share
`is_same_checkout`, which also stops a symlinked checkout producing a false
"relocated history" refusal.

Gate prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first: removing the trim
fails the new test, whose control is a genuinely different checkout that
must still find nothing.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: 8814c86
`sole_unidentified_claimant` decides whether this agent is the only one in
its checkout that could own an unattributed codex transcript. It counted
only live siblings, so an OFFLINE id-less sibling did not count, this
agent looked like the sole claimant, and the narrowing adopted a
transcript that may have been the sibling's. Putting two agents in one
conversation is what that narrowing's own doc calls worse than refusing.

An offline session is restorable, which is exactly the ability to come
back and claim it. The filter is now a deny-list -- everything that is not
graveyarded -- rather than a list of the statuses that count, so a status
nobody has thought of yet fails closed instead of silently dropping out.
Graveyarded siblings stay excluded on purpose: their checkout is gone, and
counting them would mean a checkout that ever held an agent could never
narrow again.

Measured before changing it: across this machine's topologies there are 16
running, 28 offline and 80 graveyard codex sessions, and no checkout holds
more than one id-less non-graveyard codex session -- so this costs no
narrowing in practice while closing the collision.

The existing test asserted the bug, calling an offline agent "dead" and
expecting it not to compete. It now asserts the opposite, with a
graveyarded sibling and an unrecognised status as the two controls.

Gate prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first: reverting to the
live-only filter fails the offline case.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: d757d06
`aimux worktree prune` printed "found no stale entries" while two worktree
rows sat on screen flagged as missing. Both were true at once: prune runs
`git worktree prune`, which only clears git's own records, and git had
never been told about those worktrees. The command reported success for a
job it had not done and offered no way forward.

It now reports what it could not clean, names each row, and names the verb
that does clean it -- `aimux worktree remove <path>`, or `graveyard
<path>` to keep it recoverable. The summary line says "git worktree prune"
rather than implying it covered everything.

Being unable to ask is kept distinct from finding none: if the project
service does not answer the worktree list, the output says the check could
not be made instead of letting the silence read as a clean bill.

Gate prove-failed with the mutation diff-verified first: dropping the
orphan report fails the new test, whose control is that a worktree which
still has its checkout is never named.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: 9bfeb24
Codex has no flag that can dictate its conversation id at launch, so every
codex session row is born without one -- and nothing ever filled it in.
The offline reconciler runs once at project-service startup and only for
sessions already offline, so a live codex agent stayed id-less for its
whole life, its conversation was only ever found by guessing at restore
time, and the restart guard existed mainly to cope with that. Everything
shipped so far stops the guard refusing wrongly; this is what makes codex
resume real.

A periodic task on the shared tick loop captures the id as soon as the
agent's own transcript appears. Codex writes none until its first turn, so
most runs find nothing and cost one first-line read per rollout, off the
async worker because the scan blocks in the kernel.

It deliberately does NOT reuse the restore path's rule. Restore records
the only transcript in a checkout without consulting the launch time,
which is reasonable for a stopped agent being brought back. Applied to a
live agent that has taken no turn it is the severe direction: a checkout
holding one transcript from a PREVIOUS agent would have that conversation
written onto it, after which restore reopens somebody else's history and
the guard waves the session through because it now has an id. The proof is
the mutation -- drop the floor and the test captures 99999999-... onto an
agent that owns nothing.

So the floor is mandatory here rather than a fallback, a row whose
`createdAt` will not parse is left alone, two id-less agents in a checkout
are left to the guard, and a conversation another row already owns is
never taken. Claude is not a candidate at all: it is told its id at
launch.

Gates prove-failed, each mutation verified applied first: removing the
floor fails the predates-the-agent test, and disabling the sole-claimant
check fails the ambiguous-checkout test.

📝 Walkthrough

The change updates Claude and Codex checkout discovery, restart-session identification, and periodic Codex conversation-ID capture. It also extends worktree-prune responses and rendered output with orphaned-checkout diagnostics. Native CI jobs receive environment and disk-reporting updates.

Checkout comparison normalizes trailing slashes and canonicalized paths. Codex scans distinguish checkout-local uncertainty from unreadable or unattributable files. Presence lookup and tests use these classifications.
Restart and restorability identity
native/crates/aimux/src/daemon/runtime.rs, native/crates/aimux/src/project_service/agents.rs
Restart checks resolve tool identity from the session command. Codex scans use each session’s launch time and exclude claimed IDs. Restorability uses the resolved discovery identity.

…rite

Two follow-ups on the capture task, from reviewing its own costs.

"No transcript yet" is a level, not an edge. A codex agent sitting at its
prompt never takes a turn, so every tick walked the whole codex store for
it -- with ~232 rollouts and a handful of candidates per project that is
hundreds of first-line reads a second across a fleet, for an answer that
cannot change until the agent is used. Consecutive misses now back a
session off to a five-minute reminder, the first runs stay eager so a
fresh agent is captured within a turn of existing, and any success clears
the entry. A session that disappears is forgotten, so a reused id starts
from a clean slate rather than inheriting a predecessor's backoff.

The write refusal is now reported. The decision is taken before the
topology lock and re-applied under it, where the row may already have
gained an id; `record_topology_backend_session_id_at` refuses to replace a
DIFFERENT one, which is exactly what keeps a raced decision from
overwriting the truth. That refusal was being dropped by `let _ =`. It is
a real outcome -- two writers reached different conclusions -- so it is
logged with the session and the reason instead.

The backoff rule lives in one function used by both the task and its test,
so the two cannot disagree about the cadence they each describe.

The control assertion can never fail.

The text renderer prints paths without quotes, so body.contains("\"/repo\"") is always false. The renderer does not emit name: main either. The control therefore does not detect a healthy worktree that is wrongly reported as orphaned.

Assert on the rendered orphan lines instead. The orphan path lines are indented by two spaces. A line equal to " /repo" would mean the main worktree was reported.

Proposed fix
-    assert!(
-        !body.contains("\"/repo\"") && !body.contains("name: main"),
-        "a healthy worktree is not reported as orphaned: {body}"
-    );

One unreadable rollout still fails the whole scan.

The comment says unattributable records go into scan.unreadable and do not block. The unchanged read_first_line(&path)? on Line 644 does not do that. It returns Err in three cases:

  • File::open fails, for example on a permission error or when a file is removed between read_dir and open.
  • read fails.
  • Line 1 is not valid UTF-8.

The ? then aborts codex_scan_for_cwd. codex_conversation_presence_since and CodexPresenceLookup::presence map that error to Unknown for every checkout. As a result, one bad rollout still blocks every restart of an id-less codex agent, which is the outcome this change is meant to prevent. The same error also makes codex_backend_session_ids_for_cwd fail, so the capture task records nothing.

Treat per-file read and decode failures as unreadable. Keep Err for directory-level failures only.

🐛 Proposed fix
-        let Some(line) = read_first_line(&path)? else {
-            scan.unreadable.push(path.clone());
-            continue;

Use discovery identity without breaking fresh relaunch modes.

The restore route can mark codex-high as ready, but missing_backend_session_disposition_from_ids still passes the raw key to its supported-tool match. Resolve the discovery key first, then fall back to the configured key so aider and shell still receive AllowFreshRelaunch.

The claimant check compares raw spelling, while the capture gate uses discovery identity.

Line 102 selects candidates through discovery_tool_key_for_session, so a codex-high row whose command is codex is captured. sole_unidentified_claimant filters siblings with tool_config_key_for_session(other) == tool, which is the raw toolConfigKey. The two do not agree.

Failure scenario:

  1. A codex-high agent and a codex agent run id-less in the same checkout.
  2. For each agent, the claimant check ignores the other agent because the spellings differ, so each agent looks like the sole claimant.
  3. If only the second-launched agent has taken a turn, its transcript also passes the first agent's launch floor.
  4. The capture task records that transcript on the first agent.

The result is two agents bound to one conversation. Restore then reopens another agent's history. This is the outcome the function's documentation calls the severe direction. The task runs every 15s, so the wrong id is persisted silently.

Compare siblings by discovery identity in sole_unidentified_claimant. Apply the same change to backend_session_claimed_by_other so all claim checks use one notion of tool.

Review round 1 — 3569d666d

Two findings on the new capture task, both from reviewing its own costs and
failure modes rather than its happy path.

The write refusal was being dropped

The decision is taken before the topology lock and re-applied under it, where
the row may already have gained an id. record_topology_backend_session_id_at
refuses to replace a different one, and that refusal is precisely what keeps
a raced decision from overwriting the truth — two writers reached different
conclusions and the existing one wins.

It was being discarded with let _ =. That is the repo's
errors-are-not-empty-values rule: a refusal is a real outcome, not a no-op. It
is now logged with the session and the reason.

Worth stating what the race can and cannot do, since it is the severe
direction: it cannot write a wrong id, because the recorder rejects a
conflicting one. A second id-less agent launching between read and write does
not create a hazard either — it launched after the transcript, so the
transcript is below its floor and could never be its.

"No transcript yet" is a level, not an edge

A codex agent sitting at its prompt never takes a turn, so every tick walked
the whole codex store for it. With ~232 rollouts and a few candidates per
project that is hundreds of first-line reads a second across a fleet, for an
answer that cannot change until the agent is used. The repo requires
edge-versus-level handling for exactly this.

Consecutive misses now back a session off to a five-minute reminder. The first
runs stay eager, so a fresh agent is still captured within a turn of existing.
Any success clears the entry, and a session that disappears is forgotten so a
reused id does not inherit a predecessor's backoff. The rule lives in one
function used by both the task and its test, so the two cannot drift.

Still open, deliberately

sole_unidentified_claimant is evaluated against the pre-lock topology. I did
not move the whole decision under the lock: it would hold the topology write
lock across a full store walk, which is the thing the worktree reconciler's own
comment warns against. The exposure is bounded as described above, and the
recorder is the backstop.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clone misses instead of taking it. take loses the backoff state when the run fails or is cut off.

Line 174 moves self.misses into the blocking closure and leaves an empty map behind. The task gets the map back only at Line 189. Two failure paths skip that line:

  • If the blocking closure panics, the ? at Line 187 returns before Line 189 runs.
  • If the periodic runner drops the future at the 10s timeout(), Line 189 never runs. The detached blocking task finishes and discards its result.

In both cases every session restarts at missed == 0 and gets four eager full store walks again. The timeout case undoes itself. A large Codex store makes each walk slow. Slow walks hit the 10s timeout. Each timeout resets the backoff. The task then keeps walking the store every 15s, which is the cost the backoff exists to prevent.

Pass a clone into the closure and keep self.misses until a run completes. A failed run then keeps the last known state.

The info log lists refused sessions as recorded.

The log at Line 279 runs when written > 0. Its sessions field still holds every entry in recorded, including sessions whose write was refused at Line 256. A refused session therefore appears in the Warn record and also in "recorded codex conversation ids for live agents". An operator who investigates a wrong or missing ID gets contradictory evidence.

TraderSamwise and others added 3 commits October 21, 2026 11:26
`Rust tests (Linux)` began failing with "rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on
output stream: Disk quota exceeded" partway through the test targets. It
surfaces as a compile failure naming a random test crate and says nothing
about the cause, which is that the runner ran out of disk: the job links
around 240 test binaries at full debug info and restores two cargo caches
on top of them.

Master still fits and this branch does not, so the margin was already
gone and the next branch to add code would have tipped it anyway.

Full debug info is most of a debug test binary's size and almost none of
its value in CI -- line tables still produce a backtrace with file and
line, which is what anyone reading a failed run actually uses. Shrinking
what the job produces leaves what gets compiled, and every assertion it
makes, exactly as it was. Scoped to the Linux job, since macOS has the
headroom and there is no reason to spend its debug info too.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: 294dccd
`Android native compile` took whatever JDK the runner image shipped. That
became 25 overnight, and `verify-android-native.sh` refuses it because
Gradle 8.14 supports 17-24 -- so the job went red on every branch at once,
with a message pointing at a Homebrew path that does not exist on a
runner.

Nothing in the repo changed; the image did. The script already names 21 as
a version that works, so the job asks for it instead of accepting whatever
is lying around.

Aimux-Pre-Commit: 191f843
The last three Linux runs died with "Disk quota exceeded" from rustc, and
line tables were not enough: this job links around 240 test binaries, and
debug info is the bulk of each one. Dropping it entirely costs function
names in a backtrace, not the assertions, and this job's job is to tell us
which test failed.

The `df` is there because the failure names a random test crate and says
nothing about the cause. Three runs were spent inferring a number that the
runner could simply have printed.

To be clear about ownership: master fails this job too, on a re-run with
no changes, so the shortfall is not this branch. It is just where it
surfaced.

Four findings from review, three of them in the direction that hands one
agent another's history.

A headless `codex exec` run leaves a rollout in the checkout that no
topology row owns, so the sibling count cannot see it -- 7 of 233 in a
real store -- and an idle agent adopted it. Who opened a conversation now
decides whether it can be an agent's at all, in three answers rather than
two: the interactive codex aimux launches is ours, and so is a rollout
recording no originator, which is how the older ones look and what the
discovery contract expects; a `codex exec` run never is; and an originator
nobody has seen yet names this checkout, so it counts as uncertainty
rather than absence. An allow-list alone failed the contract fixture and
would have broken restore for historical rollouts -- the fixture was
right.

`sole_unidentified_claimant` compared checkouts by raw string while
discovery compares them with `is_same_checkout`. Two rows whose
`worktreePath` differ only by a trailing slash -- the exact case
user-supplied task worktrees produce -- or by /tmp versus /private/tmp,
each saw no sibling in "their" checkout while both scans resolved to the
same directory, so both could adopt the same transcript in one pass.
Neither row has an id yet, so the recorder could not catch it. The
comparison is shared now, and a single run also refuses to hand one
conversation to two rows.

The Claude encoder had a second, untrimmed copy beside the relocation
route. Once discovery began trimming, relocation wrote `-repo-wt-` while
discovery read `-repo-wt`, and that caller discards its result, so the two
would have disagreed in silence. One encoder now, pinned by an assertion
that both spellings of a checkout produce one path.

The graveyard exclusion's stated reason was wrong: graveyarding a session
does not remove the checkout. The routes refuse it, which is the actual
reason it cannot come back to claim anything.

Gates prove-failed, mutations verified applied first: admitting
`codex_exec` fails the headless test, and restoring the raw string
comparison fails the differently-spelled-sibling test.

Review round 2 — cd910c187

The audits delivered late and found four real defects, three in the direction
that hands one agent another's history. All fixed; the one I could not fix
safely is named at the end.

A conversation that was never an agent's

A headless codex exec run leaves a rollout in the checkout that no topology
row owns — 7 of 233 in this machine's store — so sole_unidentified_claimant
cannot see it and an idle agent adopted it.

My first fix was an allow-list on originator: codex-tui, and the contract
fixture backend-session-discovery-007 immediately failed. That fixture was
right: a rollout recording no originator is how the older ones look, and
refusing those would have broken restore for them. It is three answers now, not
two — ours, never ours, and an originator nobody has seen yet, which names this
checkout and so counts as uncertainty rather than absence.

Two rows could adopt one conversation in a single pass

sole_unidentified_claimant compared checkouts by raw string while discovery
compares them with is_same_checkout. Two rows whose worktreePath differ
only by a trailing slash — the exact case the trailing-slash commit says
user-supplied task worktrees produce — or by /tmp versus /private/tmp, each
saw no sibling in "their" checkout while both scans resolved to the same
directory. Neither row has an id yet, so the recorder's refusal could not catch
it. The comparison is shared now, and one run also refuses to hand the same
conversation to two rows.

A regression I introduced two commits earlier

The Claude encoder had a second, untrimmed copy beside the relocation route.
Once 18d9c1418 made discovery trim, relocation wrote -repo-wt- while
discovery read -repo-wt — and that caller discards its result with let _ =,
so they would have disagreed in silence. One encoder now, pinned by an
assertion that both spellings of a checkout produce one path.

Not fixed: capture, then /new

If an agent opens a second conversation after its id is captured, the row keeps
pointing at the first. record_topology_backend_session_id_at refuses to
replace a different id, and restore skips rediscovery once originally_missing
is false, so the row is wrong for the rest of its life.

This is a genuine regression in the loss direction and I am not papering over
it: before capture existed, restore saw two transcripts and refused visibly;
now it reopens the first one silently. I did not fix it because every option is
a bigger decision than this PR should make on its own — clearing a captured id
when a newer unclaimed transcript appears is the obvious one, but it means a
background task deleting state a route wrote, and I would rather that were a
deliberate choice than a thing I slipped in at the end of a long branch.

Also raised, not acted on

The restore path's own rule records the only transcript in a checkout without
consulting the launch time (ids.len() == 1 at agent_launch_helpers.rs:184
bypasses the claimant check entirely). That is the same shape as the capture
bug, in code this PR does not touch, and it is defensible for restore where a
human is asking "bring this agent back". Worth its own look.

`Rust tests (Linux)` died with "rustc-LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output
stream: Disk quota exceeded", naming a different test crate each run. The
cause was not disk at all:

    /dev/root  145G   61G   84G  42% /
    tmpfs      7.9G   41M  7.8G   1% /tmp

`CARGO_TARGET_DIR` pointed into /tmp, which on these runners is a
RAM-backed tmpfs with 7.9G, while the real volume had 84G free. A full
test build does not fit in 7.9G, so it ran out partway through and rustc
reported it as an I/O failure.

Two earlier guesses -- dropping test debug info, reclaiming preinstalled
toolchains -- were wrong, and I have reverted the debug one so CI keeps
its backtraces. Printing `df` found it on the first run; it should have
been the first thing I did rather than the third.

`runner.temp` because this env is shared with the macOS job, where
/home/runner does not exist. It sits on the workspace volume on both.

Master fails this job too, so the fix is not specific to this branch.

Two failures that only became visible once the Linux job could finish a
full suite again. It had been dying three minutes in for days, so nothing
it would have caught was being caught.

The stream-surface contract records the periodic task list, and #481 added
`backend-session-id-capture` without re-recording it. This is the third
time a new periodic task has broken this fixture, and the reason is always
the same: it is a serial-lane target, `yarn verify` does not run it, and
the scoped run covering the change does not touch it. Regenerated through
the fixture's own record mode rather than hand-edited.

The second is mine from an hour ago. `Path::ancestors` is lexical, so
`<workspace>/../aimux-cargo-target-ci` leaves the checkout itself an
ancestor of the target directory -- and the runtime version is resolved by
walking the executable's ancestors for a package.json. The tests found the
repo's 0.1.70 instead of the 9.8.7-test they planted, and two entrypoint
tests failed on it. A sibling of the workspace has the same disk and no
traversal.
