fix: enforce six structural safety gates

[ruby-dlee]

Intent

Implement six route-complete structural hardening gates as one coherent Firstmate change. Gate A must enforce Codex gpt-5.6-sol/xhigh at launch, re-resolve recovery from current policy, use ground-truth account probes when selector evidence is stale or contested, and mechanically re-verify every exact runtime generation without claiming control inside provider-side substitution. Gate B must make instruction delivery identity-bound and verifiable, refusing every production split text-plus-Enter route and never claiming delivery on a failed or unreadable post-submit verification. Gate C must prove BUSY only from affirmative process evidence, preserve absence as UNKNOWN regardless of duration or host load, bind run custody to the exact task branch/run/head, and make cancellation unreachable without exact attribution and pushed-head safety. Gate D must eliminate armed/admin/queued/delete-after merge routes and preserve task-owned state/.check.sh. Gate E must mechanically require blockers to state and test a falsifiable assumption with an observed result. Gate F must require settled exact-head checks, clean exact-head review, zero-residual containment, and an independent exact-head adversarial verdict, treating missing reviewer output as UNREVIEWED; merge execution must remain unavailable. Document every ordinary route, trigger, deterministic predicate, provider/system boundary, and fail-closed behavior; add behavioral or explicitly structural tests; preserve existing guards and durable task state; do not alter the shared daemon, abort runs, merge, or weaken tests.

What Changed

• Enforce Codex gpt-5.6-sol/xhigh launch and recovery policy with ground-truth account probes, exact-generation runtime verification, and fail-closed text steering unless delivery is atomically session-bound and verified.
• Make supervision and blocker handling fail closed by requiring exact run/branch/head process evidence for BUSY, collision-safe lifecycle custody for watcher and Herdr state, and observed assumption/test/result evidence for blockers.
• Remove armed and executable merge routes while preserving task-owned checks, then add synchronous exact-head admission for settled protected checks, clean review, zero-residual containment, and an independent Crosscheck verdict.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The correction restores the strict sub-four-second monotonic guard while preserving a scheduler-tolerant test that still distinguishes a shared deadline from a post-claim reset; no remaining source-verifiable defect was substantiated.

🔧 Fix applied.
✅ Re-checked - no issues remain.

🔧 **Review** - 9 issues found → auto-fixed (21) ✅

• 🚨 bin/fm-spawn.sh:4250 - Intent requires mechanically re-verifying every exact runtime generation. Direct Codex routing sets ACCOUNT_EFFECTIVE_MODE=off, but the new metadata records only the runtime home/start; provider_session_id is written and synchronized only for enforced accounts. Consequently, every direct Codex lane remains permanently UNVERIFIED. Bind the provider session at the shared spawn-commit boundary before publishing the generation.
• 🚨 bin/fm-lavish-queue.sh:142 - Intent forbids every production split text-plus-Enter delivery route. The Lavish wake path still calls fm_backend_send_text_submit, which types text and separately submits Enter, then records a delivery marker when the composer becomes empty. Route this through an identity-bound atomic receipt or refuse before pane input.
• 🚨 bin/fm-classify-lib.sh:451 - Intent requires BUSY only from affirmative process evidence, but a source=pane observation immediately returns working without invoking the run-liveness probe. A busy footer can therefore suppress a wake as BUSY without run-owned process evidence. Pane-only evidence should become UNKNOWN at this shared observation fold.
• 🚨 bin/fm-supervise-daemon.sh:1018 - An unreadable pane capture returns status 2, after which housekeeping deletes the stale marker instead of surfacing UNKNOWN; repeated capture failures can reset the observation indefinitely. The paused recheck has the same route. Preserve the marker and feed capture absence into the UNKNOWN escalation path.
• 🚨 bin/fm-run-liveness.sh:85 - Intent requires custody bound to the exact task branch/run/head, but the new liveness reader parses only run ID, branch, and status. If run H1 remains active while the task branch advances to H2, an H1 process still proves BUSY for H2. Require an authoritative run-head match before and after sampling, otherwise return UNKNOWN.
• 🚨 bin/fm-classify-lib.sh:235 - The blocker gate rejects only four literal placeholders, so assumption=none; test=will run probe; result=pending is accepted despite having neither a falsifiable premise nor an executed observation. The added test is also inverted: it expects an unstructured blocker to enter the fold even though the implementation excludes it. Strengthen the carrier predicate and replace the stale test with the documented malformed/placeholder/valid/resolved mutation matrix.
• 🚨 bin/fm-crosscheck.py:3713 - Intent says merge execution must remain unavailable, but merge remains a selectable Crosscheck command and dispatches through merge_crosschecked to merge_exact, which issues the GitHub merge PUT after a valid ledger. Remove the parser/dispatch route and disable the underlying mutation primitive so imports cannot bypass the refusal boundary.
• 🚨 bin/fm-pr-admit.sh:183 - Review rows contain nested user objects, while fm-toon-table.mjs explicitly rejects nested requested fields; therefore any nonempty review page makes admission fail before evaluating exact-head approvals. PR_AUTHOR is likewise read as a root scalar, and the documented tests/fm-pr-admit.test.sh does not exist. Parse user.login strictly and add the claimed admission behavior coverage.
• 🚨 tools/lavish/test/lavish.test.mjs:55 - The authoritative intent forbids weakening tests, but this change reduces the Lavish suite from 47 tests to 29 while no Lavish product implementation was removed. Deleted coverage includes annotation boards, captain-item validation, home-bound intake, payload drift, and unreadable-download fail-closed behavior. Restore that coverage while retaining the bounded process-group adjustment.

🔧 Fix: Captain: harden all six structural gates
5 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-pr-evidence-lib.sh:17 - Gate F requires “settled exact-head checks,” but this helper retains only the number of protected contexts/checks. fm-pr-admit.sh then accepts any nonempty all-green set, so a head with only an unrelated green lint check is admitted even when required ci is absent. Match every protected context/app identity against exact-head check/status evidence at the shared admission boundary.
• 🚨 bin/fm-pr-admit.sh:223 - Gate F requires current clean exact-head checks and review, but the final revalidation rereads only PR head/base/state. A new same-head CHANGES_REQUESTED review or queued check rerun after the initial snapshot leaves those fields unchanged and still produces an admitted receipt. Re-snapshot and compare check/review evidence immediately before admission.
• 🚨 bin/fm-supervise-daemon.sh:994 - Gate C requires preserving “absence as UNKNOWN regardless of duration,” but failure to resolve a backend window is treated as proven teardown and deletes the stale marker. Missing/unreadable metadata or a transient backend lookup failure therefore erases escalation state while work may continue. Delete only with authoritative teardown evidence; otherwise retain and escalate UNKNOWN.
• 🚨 docs/structural-gates.md:79 - The required route documentation contradicts Gate C by claiming a pane sample can absorb a lane, while the acceptance criterion permits BUSY only from affirmative process evidence. This section also omits head attribution from its later custody predicates. Document process-only BUSY and exact run/branch/head custody consistently.
• 🚨 docs/structural-gates.md:186 - The intent requires behavioral or structural tests without weakening the suite, and this line claims the gates are explicitly inventoried; however, tests/behavior-test-durations.tsv omits seven branch-added scripts (fm-blocker-discipline-gap, fm-crosscheck-no-merge, fm-herdr-codex-steer, fm-host-pressure, fm-pr-admit, fm-run-liveness, and fm-runtime-profile). Because fm-behavior-shards.sh requires an exact inventory match, normal --check/--run aborts before executing any shard. Add duration rows for every omitted script.

🔧 Fix: Harden exact-head admission and preserve UNKNOWN lifecycle state
3 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-pr-admit.sh:290 - Gate F requires “clean exact-head review,” but this snapshot hard-codes two approvals and never consumes the policy’s recorded required_approvals. A branch requiring three approvals is therefore admitted with two; the same fold also does not prove that approvals satisfy the enabled code-owner and last-push rules. Enforce the final policy’s required count and authoritative protected-review eligibility at this shared review boundary.
• 🚨 bin/fm-teardown.sh:5846 - Gate C requires exact task custody and preservation of UNKNOWN, but the new teardown cleanup deletes markers through the lossy tr ':/.' '___' key. Valid IDs such as lane.a and lane_a collide, so tearing down either task deletes the other task’s stale/pause evidence; window_for_task can likewise attribute the shared marker to the wrong lane. Replace the shared marker-key boundary with a collision-free task identity and migrate or verify legacy marker ownership before deletion.
• 🚨 bin/fm-supervise-daemon.sh:999 - The requested fix says missing-target state remains UNKNOWN unless teardown is affirmatively proved, but housekeeping and teardown do not synchronize marker refresh. If teardown removes an aged marker after escalate_add but before this write, the daemon recreates the marker after metadata has gone; no later teardown can clear it, so the retired task escalates UNKNOWN forever. Coordinate teardown and refresh through one lifecycle lock or durable teardown receipt before recreating the marker.

🔧 Fix: Bind review policy and marker lifecycle custody
2 issues (1 error, 1 warning) still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-watch.sh:429 - Intent requires custody bound to the exact task branch/run/head, but watcher state still uses the lossy key=$(printf '%s' "$win" | tr ':/.' '___'). Targets such as firstmate:fm-lane.a and firstmate:fm-lane_a therefore share hash/count/stale/pause state: alternating captures can prevent either quiet lane from reaching UNKNOWN observation, while cleanup can erase sibling tracking. Use the collision-free identity boundary for watcher state and accept legacy markers only after unique attribution.
• ⚠️ bin/fm-supervise-daemon.sh:1068 - An ambiguously owned legacy marker correctly yields no task, but housekeeping then appends the same UNKNOWN escalation every 15-second tick without refreshing or otherwise throttling it. A persistent lane.a/lane_a legacy collision therefore produces endless duplicate digests, or unbounded buffer growth when delivery is unavailable. Retain the marker fail-closed while adding an ownership-independent per-marker retry cadence.

🔧 Fix: Harden watcher identity and UNKNOWN retry custody
3 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-watch.sh:752 - The requested fix says to route every watcher state family through the collision-free owner, but signal and turn-end dedupe still uses .seen-$(basename "$f" | tr '.' '_'). Valid tasks lane.a and lane_a therefore share one .seen-lane_a_status carrier: distinct signatures repeatedly re-fire each other, while equal signatures can suppress a sibling signal entirely. Key .seen-* by collision-free task identity plus signal kind, migrating legacy state only with unique attribution.
• 🚨 bin/fm-watch.sh:1300 - Gate C requires absence to remain UNKNOWN, but any watcher-state migration error silently continues past the task. For example, a uniquely attributable legacy .hash-* symlink is rejected by fm_marker_migrate_watcher_state, after which this loop performs no capture, process observation, or wake for that lane on any poll. Quarantine and surface unsafe legacy state at the shared migration boundary while continuing with the exact v2 key instead of dropping supervision.
• 🚨 bin/fm-supervise-daemon.sh:445 - The new UNKNOWN retry sidecar is read and written without a safe-regular-file check. A symlink at the predictable retry path is followed by _file_age and _now > "$retry", which can either suppress UNKNOWN while its target stays fresh or truncate any writable target—including durable task state—to an epoch value. Require a safe-or-absent path and refresh it atomically without following symlinks.

🔧 Fix: Harden watcher custody and UNKNOWN retry publication
1 error still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-marker-state-lib.sh:20 - Gate C requires “preserve absence as UNKNOWN regardless of duration” and exact custody, but the new key function hex-encodes the complete identity without a length bound while valid task IDs have no maximum length. A valid 124-character task produces a 257-byte .hash-v2-… basename—and even longer signal/wedge carriers—so marker writes fail with ENAMETOOLONG; stable-pane counters never persist and the lane can remain unobserved instead of UNKNOWN. Either bound task IDs at shared validation using the longest carrier budget, or use a bounded key with positively verified full-identity ownership.

🔧 Fix: Bind marker keys to exact identity ownership
4 issues (3 errors, 1 warning) still open:

• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3321 - The required bounded-key fix calls for an exact full-identity owner record, but Herdr transition markers use the SHA-256 window digest directly. A digest collision can therefore make one window suppress or clear another window’s transition, and the test only compares ordinary hashes rather than exercising adversarial ownership. Route Herdr markers through a namespace-specific owner claim validated before migration, reads, commits, and clears.
• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3326 - Herdr migration never validates the new v3 marker as a safe regular file. If it is a dangling symlink, a blocked edge passes the -e check and the later : > "$marker" follows the link, creating or truncating its target; an existing symlink can also suppress the edge. Validate/quarantine the current carrier and publish commits atomically without following links.
• 🚨 bin/fm-marker-state-lib.sh:57 - Legacy v2 marker parsing invokes ambient perl directly despite this helper’s fixed-path, environment-scrubbed executor. During migration, a hostile PATH function/binary or PERL5OPT/PERL5LIB module can execute inside the watcher or supervisor. Invoke Perl through _fm_marker_system_exec.
• ⚠️ bin/fm-marker-state-lib.sh:116 - Two processes concurrently claiming the same absent owner can race: after one links the correct owner, the other gets EEXIST and returns failure without validating that matching owner. Watcher and supervisor startup can consequently skip or spuriously mark a lane UNKNOWN for a cycle. After a failed link, remove the temporary file and accept only an exact safe read of the winner.

🔧 Fix: Captain: harden Herdr marker custody and legacy decoding
2 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3332 - Intent requires preserving existing guards and durable task state, but migration probes only the intermediate v2-<hex> marker. The base release persisted lossy .herdr-escalated-default_wG_pQ markers, so an upgrade ignores an existing blocked-edge suppressor, emits a duplicate escalation, and teardown leaves the old marker orphaned. Migrate/remove the lossy carrier only after safe metadata uniquely attributes it to this exact window; retain ambiguous carriers fail-closed.
• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3382 - Exact task custody remains racy because transition commit has no task identity or lifecycle lock. After the watcher validates a task, teardown can acquire its lifecycle lock, clear the marker, and remove metadata; the watcher then atomically recreates the marker. No later teardown clears it, and reuse of that Herdr window is falsely deduped. Serialize wake/commit with the existing task lifecycle lock and revalidate safe task-to-window metadata after acquisition.

🔧 Fix: Captain: bind Herdr transitions to lifecycle custody
2 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3456 - Gate C requires exact custody, but transition records carry only pane/workspace status and are rebound to whichever task currently owns the window. A buffered task-A working edge can therefore clear task B's marker after window reuse; similarly, an A blocked edge applied before reassignment is returned without A's identity, then handle_push_transition re-resolves and wakes B. Bind each observed edge to the exact task/generation through apply, handle, clear, and commit; otherwise treat it as UNKNOWN.
• 🚨 bin/fm-teardown.sh:5802 - Failed-spawn cleanup restores the prior metadata at line 5791 before clearing the failed generation's transition state here. If the prior generation has a different Herdr window, exact revalidation fails, || true hides the failure, and the stale marker/owner can suppress a later reused window. The immediate rollback sibling in fm-spawn.sh also restores metadata without clearing transition state. Clear under lifecycle custody while the failed generation metadata is still authoritative, and fail closed before restoring it.

🔧 Fix: Bind Herdr events to exact generations
3 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-spawn.sh:1964 - Intent requires route-complete Gate C custody, but the new transition clear explicitly excludes DIRECT_ACCOUNT_RECOVERY. A successful Herdr recovery replaces metadata for old window W0 with new window W1 without clearing W0's blocked marker; teardown later clears only W1, so reuse of W0 can be falsely deduplicated. Clear W0 under the lifecycle lock while its metadata remains authoritative, before endpoint replacement.
• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3369 - Intent requires preserving existing durable task state, but this generation requirement makes legacy Herdr metadata without generation_id impossible to clear. Final teardown unconditionally calls this path and aborts, while generation backfill currently occurs only through fm-pr-check.sh; a deployed task without a PR can therefore never be torn down. Add a lifecycle/meta-locked legacy generation migration or an exact teardown-only legacy clear path.
• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3565 - Exact metadata-identity custody remains racy because the lifecycle lock does not serialize metadata-only writers such as fm-pr-check.sh and the X-link helpers. Such a writer can atomically replace metadata after this final match but before the marker write, committing custody for an identity that no longer exists; if replacement lands just before this match, the already-appended wake is followed by commit failure and watcher exit. Acquire the task metadata lock in lifecycle-to-metadata order and hold it through apply, commit, and clear mutations.

🔧 Fix: Harden Herdr transition lifecycle and metadata custody
1 error still open:

• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3450 - allow-legacy accepts metadata whose sole generation_id= value is empty, but this rewrite copies that line and appends a second value. The post-move validation then rejects the duplicate, leaving teardown failed after replacing previously readable legacy metadata with a permanently unreadable file. This contradicts “preserve existing guards and durable task state”; atomically replace any existing generation key and cover both absent and empty legacy values.

🔧 Fix: Preserve legacy Herdr metadata during generation migration
1 error still open:

• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3471 - The intent requires “preserve existing guards and durable task state,” but this backup template embeds the unbounded valid task ID. A 225-character task still fits its metadata, lifecycle lock, metadata lock, and candidate basename, while .task.meta.generation-backup.XXXXXX is 256 bytes; mktemp therefore fails with ENAMETOOLONG, the legacy clear fails, and teardown strands the task. Use a fixed-width state-local temporary basename under the held locks and cover a maximum-length valid legacy ID.

🔧 Fix: Preserve long Herdr identities during legacy migration
1 error still open:

• 🚨 bin/backends/herdr.sh:3755 - The claimed maximum-ID route is still unreachable in production: this branch calls fm_account_lifecycle_lock_acquire, whose shared owner candidate is .account-lifecycle-$task.owner.XXXXXX (257 bytes for the 225-character fixture), so mktemp fails with ENAMETOOLONG before the new bounded migration artifacts run. The added test masks this by manually creating both lock files and passing them as inherited locks. This contradicts the requirement that “all valid durable identities remain operable”; make the shared lock owner publication fixed-width and exercise the ordinary public clear route without injected locks.

🔧 Fix: Support maximum identities across account lock lifecycle
3 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1125 - Intent requires “preserve existing guards and durable task state,” but only the owner candidate became bounded: the final lock still embeds the unbounded valid task ID. A 232-character ID has a valid 237-byte metadata basename, yet its lifecycle lock basename is 256 bytes, so acquisition repeatedly fails with ENAMETOOLONG and teardown remains unreachable. Derive final lock paths through a bounded key with a safely validated exact-owner record, including compatibility for existing raw lock paths.
• 🚨 bin/fm-spawn.sh:906 - The route-complete maximum-identity fix misses inherited recovery. A 225-character task now acquires the lifecycle lock, but bootstrap recovery passes it into spawn, where this 259-byte handoff template fails with ENAMETOOLONG before ownership transfer. Move handoff publication behind the shared fixed-width lock boundary while retaining process and inode revalidation.
• 🚨 tests/fm-send-strict.test.sh:411 - The owner candidate was renamed to .account-lock-owner.*, but both managed-send race tests still wait for the removed task-specific .account-lifecycle-*.owner.* name. They therefore time out and fail without exercising post-wait revalidation. Update both tests to use the existing explicit lock-wait observation hook instead of a transient filename.

🔧 Fix: Bind account locks to bounded exact identities
3 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1314 - The required durable fix says to preserve durable state and migrate raw locks only after safe ownership proof, but every present raw lock is passed to generic reclaim. A raw directory with a symlinked owner is treated as dead and moved/deleted, and the test at line 5548 explicitly expects that unsafe carrier not to block recovery. Preserve ambiguous or unsafe raw state fail-closed; migrate only after safely pinning and validating its owner.
• 🚨 bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1312 - Legacy compatibility has a check-then-switch race: after confirming the raw lock is absent, acquisition creates only the bounded lock. An already-running pre-upgrade process can then acquire the raw path, leaving old and new processes with simultaneous custody of the same task. Hold an atomic raw compatibility fence for the bounded lock's lifetime, or use a migration epoch that prevents future raw acquisitions.
• 🚨 tests/fm-send-strict.test.sh:359 - The intent explicitly forbids weakening tests, but this cleanup assertion still targets the obsolete raw lock path after production moved steering locks to bounded hashed directories. It now passes even when the real bounded lock leaks; the same stale assertions remain in brief, gate-refusal, session-sync, and lineage coverage. Resolve each expected lock through the shared exact-identity helper before asserting cleanup.

🔧 Fix: Harden bounded lock compatibility custody
1 error still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1493 - The intent requires “preserve existing guards and durable task state,” but the new bounded path still uses generic directory reclaim. If its owner is a symlink or malformed regular file, the liveness probe returns invalid rather than dead; lines 1338-1415 nevertheless move and delete that lock, allowing a contender to acquire while the unresolved owner may still be live. Apply the same safely pinned, proven-dead owner predicate used for raw compatibility locks to bounded reclaim; otherwise preserve the carrier fail-closed.

🔧 Fix: Preserve ambiguous account lock custody
2 errors still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1121 - The requirement to “preserve existing guards and durable task state” remains racy: after the final classifier validates the bounded lock’s separate .account-lock-identity-v2-* claim, reclamation rechecks only the lock and owner identities. A concurrent malformed or symlink replacement of that task-identity claim can therefore occur before mv, after which the now-ambiguous lock is deleted. Pin and revalidate the exact task-identity claim through the shared reclaim boundary, preserving the lock on substitution.
• 🚨 tests/fm-account-routing-suite.sh:6844 - The required “add behavioral or explicitly structural tests” replacement-race matrix is only reachable through the unreferenced FM_TEST_FOCUSED=account-lock-compatibility branch. Neither ordinary split wrapper nor any repository caller sets that focus, and the default test list omits test_bounded_account_lock_reclaim_requires_exact_dead_owner, so normal behavioral shards never execute the new live/dead/malformed/symlink/replacement coverage. Add it to the default partitioned list.

🔧 Fix: Pin bounded lock claims and coverage
1 error still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1230 - The requirement to “preserve existing guards and durable task state” remains reachable after the new post-move check: once fm_account_lock_identity_matches_pinned returns, a task-identity claim can be atomically replaced before the separate rm -rf "$reclaim", which then deletes the quarantined lock while leaving the claim malformed or symlinked. The added tests substitute during mv, so they do not cover this final interval. Hold a shared identity-claim mutation boundary through deletion, or make claim validation and carrier deletion one supported fail-closed operation.

🔧 Fix: Serialize identity claims through final lock deletion
2 issues (1 error, 1 warning) still open:

• 🚨 bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1482 - The acceptance criterion requires “Document every ordinary route, trigger, deterministic predicate, provider/system boundary, and fail-closed behavior.” This new mutation lock now serializes claim creation and bounded reclaim through final deletion, including its own stale-owner recovery, but docs/configuration.md still describes only raw-to-bounded ordering and claim revalidation. Document this third lock’s ordering, timeout/reclaim rules, and fail-closed states.
• ⚠️ bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1324 - The configured account-lock wait is no longer an end-to-end bound. For a valid long task ID without a raw compatibility fence, a dead bounded lock plus a live mutation owner makes even FM_ACCOUNT_*_LOCK_WAIT_SECONDS=0 wait up to this hard-coded five seconds before the outer deadline is checked; claim creation can also consume the full wait before that deadline is initialized. Thread one absolute deadline or remaining budget through claim and reclaim instead of resetting or hard-coding it.

🔧 Fix: Bind account lock custody to shared deadlines
2 errors still open:

• 🚨 docs/configuration.md:262 - The required “exact acquisition order” is still not route-complete. This says bounded reclaim already holds a raw fence before taking mutation custody, but maximum-length lifecycle IDs set legacy_supported=0 and reclaim the bounded lock without any raw fence; the implementation also acquires a reclaim guard under mutation custody at bin/fm-account-routing-lib.sh:1231, which the documented order omits. Document the supported-raw and no-raw orders separately, including mutation-before-reclaim-guard custody and failures.
• 🚨 tests/fm-account-routing-suite.sh:5549 - The requested elapsed-bound coverage does not exercise the claim-wait-plus-main-lock sequence from the finding. This creation case is uncontended with zero wait, and every later contention case uses an already-published identity claim, so moving the main deadline calculation back after fm_account_lock_identity_claim would still pass the entire new test. Add an absent-claim case where mutation custody consumes most of the budget and a live bounded owner proves that the remaining acquisition cannot receive a fresh deadline.

🔧 Fix: Document and prove complete account lock ordering
1 error still open:

• 🚨 tests/fm-account-routing-suite.sh:5558 - The intent explicitly says “do not … weaken tests,” but this hunk replaces the zero-budget acquisition bound [ "$elapsed" -lt 4 ] with $ARGV[0] < 8. Monotonic timing is appropriate, but doubling the limit lets a new 4–8 second hidden wait pass; retain the monotonic clock while restoring an equivalent sub-four-second bound.

🔧 Fix: Restore strict zero-budget timing guard

⚠️ **Document** - 1 error

• 🚨 bin/fm-fleet-snapshot.sh:430 - The fleet snapshot still advertises text send/steer actions and promises secondmate status/doc answers after a marked fm-send request, but Gate B makes all current pane-backed text requests refuse before input. This executable output could not be changed during the documentation-only phase.

🔧 Fix: Align Crosscheck and structural gate documentation

• 🚨 bin/fm-fleet-snapshot.sh:430 - Fleet snapshot output still advertises unavailable text send/steer actions and promises secondmate replies. Fixing this requires executable behavior and test changes outside the documentation phase.
