Verify SSH dial-in perms for container 646

- chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (already 600, verified)
- sshd listening on :22, reverse tunnel VM 127.0.0.1:2226 -> container:22 up
- authorized key present (super@bl); key-auth step belongs to key holder

Fixes #213

 - Never paste multi-KB logs or dumps into chat; write payloads under `logs/` and send a short path pointer instead.
 - Avoid blocking commands in automated runs: `box fleet watch`, `box dm tail`, `box approvals watch`, `box dm chat` (interactive REPL).
 - `box` probes CDP per node and can take several seconds; use generous timeouts and `--json` for scripted use.
+- Preserve runtime and quota limits: prefer spawning subagents (`jobs/`, `subagent_tracker`) or background workers (`box kpi spawn-worker`) over long conversational prose to avoid `VANITY_IDLE` flags.

+## Session naming (supervision)
+
+Remote nodes issue jobs to this box; execution lives on the shared
+stable tmux server, separated by session name (not by socket):
+
+`<node>--<role>--<id>` — e.g. `pip--worker--01`, `muse--repair--09`.
+
+Roles: `worker` (persistent swarm/daemon), `repair` (fix sessions),
+`watch` (auto-approver tails), `runtime` (interactive CLI). Ad-hoc
+sessions carry no node and show `-` in `box runtime list`. Session
+creators owned by existing flows keep their names until owners rename;
+new sessions should follow the convention from birth.

+Read-only dashboard that aggregates agent harness runs (any CLI / bin

+SSH to every reachable tailnet device, then sorts by agent type.
+
+Surfaces 3 read-only views (no actions in v1):
+  [1] RUNS    — every run, sorted by agent type, then device.
+  [2] TYPES   — counts per agent type with per-device breakdown.
+  [3] DEVICES — per-device reachability, run counts, and notes.

+Structure mirrors bin/box-fleet-tui.py: all data-gathering lives in
+pure, testable functions taking injected runners (see gather_*); the
+curses UI is a thin renderer over those functions. The backend differs:
+instead of local repo files, each refresh fans out over tailnet SSH
+(one call per device: tmux panes + process table, joined locally).

+  was caused by a SINGLE keyword ("verified") matching one regex.
 
-Categories:
-  COMPLETED  - work finished, results ready
-  BLOCKER    - something is stuck, needs intervention
-  DECISION   - a decision is needed from the user/operator
-  ALERT      - health/security/urgency signal
-  MILESTONE  - significant progress checkpoint
+Repairs (see OUTPUT.md for rationale):
+  1. COMPLETED requires >= 2 DISTINCT pattern hits (weighted: the structured
+     `[RESULT ...] OK` marker counts 2 — it is the fleet's own machine-emitted
+     completion signal, far less ambiguous than a bare "done").
+  2. Negation guards: negation/failure-state words veto COMPLETED outright
+     (fail-closed: a negated completion claim is never relayed as complete).
+  3. Honest labeling: the fake "confidence 60%" (which literally meant "one
+     regex hit") is replaced by a keyword-hit count. SiphonHit.hits is the
+     authoritative field; `confidence` is kept for backward compatibility
+     but must NOT be rendered as a percentage anywhere user-facing.
+  4. Stale suppression: a message older than 15 minutes never relays as
+     COMPLETED. Pass message_ts (epoch seconds). monitor.py currently does
+     NOT pass a timestamp — agent 3 / the integrator must thread
+     message["ts"] through (see OUTPUT.md).
 
-Detection is purely pattern-based (raw Python, no AI).
-Each rule returns (category, confidence, summary) or None.
+DO NOT overwrite the original detect.py with this file until the integrator
+reconciles all 5 agents' outputs.

+"""Host-side fleet evidence for network/PID-blind shells.
+
+`box fleet status` probes each node live (pgrep for the chromium process,
+HTTP to the CDP relay on the peer IP). Both probes assume the caller's
+network + PID namespace is the bl host's. From a sandboxed shell (own PID
+and net namespaces, no sudo, no route to 10.201.x.x) both probes always
+fail, so every node misreports as STOPPED even with a healthy fleet.
+
+This module provides the fallback signal: evidence written by the
+host-side watchdogs that run on bl unsandboxed via systemd timers:
+
+  - cdp-relay-watchdog (every 5 min, all active registry nodes):
+    log ``cdp-relay-watchdog.log`` + journal unit
+    ``cdp-relay-watchdog.service``. Proves the CDP relay path end to end.
+  - chromebox-watchdog (every 2 min, same nodes, one timer per node):
+    log ``chromebox-watchdog.log`` + journal units
+    ``chromebox-watchdog@<node>.service``. Curls CDP inside the node netns,
+    so it proves browser + in-netns CDP.
+  - ``chromebox-<node>.log`` mtime: chromium's own stdout. Fresh output
+    proves the browser process is alive. Used only for nodes outside
+    watchdog coverage — and only to conclude "alive", never "dead".
+
+Both watchdogs are silent-when-healthy: a failure is ALWAYS logged, so a
+recent timer run (journal "Starting" line) with no newer failure line for
+the node means that run found the node healthy.
+
+Verdicts: "healthy" | "degraded" | "down" | "unknown".

+"""identity-provider.py — Proxy provider implementations.
+
+A provider owns one network-identity substrate behind a fixed
+interface: provision / teardown / cycle / exec / routes / status.
+All subprocesses go through an injectable run function (same seam as
+box-fleet-tui gather_*), so command shapes are unit-testable and no
+test touches netns, sudo, or /etc/netvm.
+
+Security boundaries (from the repo's own scripts):
+- Warp identities generate via netvm-new-identity.sh, which the user
+  explicitly authorized operators to run (see netvm-provision-node.sh
+  header). Generation installs a root-0600 conf and prints nothing.
+- This code NEVER reads /etc/netvm and never prints key material.
+  Confs are consumed only by root tools (wg setconf inside netns).
+- CLI-facing output carries emails, labels, and fingerprints only.

-Side-chat to main-chat work siphon — monitor loop.
+Side-chat to main-chat siphon — monitor loop (INTEGRATED).
 
-Polls side chats for new messages, runs detection, siphons hits to main.
+Changes vs original (integrator):
+  1. Timestamp plumbing (agent 2's open item): message["ts"] is parsed to
+     epoch seconds and passed as message_ts to detect(), enabling the
+     15-minute stale-suppression for COMPLETED. Unparseable/missing ts →
+     backward-compatible (detect proceeds).
+  2. Author plumbing (agent 3 absent): message["author"] is attached to
+     the hit as hit.author, so relays attribute the real author instead
+     of the thread's registered agent.
+  3. Flood control (agent 4 absent): COMPLETED hits are routed to the
+     digest buffer instead of individual main-chat relays. ALERT, BLOCKER,
+     DECISION, MILESTONE still relay individually via siphon().
+  4. Persistent dedup: every processed hit is marked siphoned (including
+     digested ones) so a restart never re-relays or re-digests.
 
 This is the integration point for bl. In production:
   - list_sidechats() calls muse-chat-api.py or the sidechat manager
   - get_messages() reads thread messages via CDP
   - post_to_main() sends via muse-chat-api.py send to main chat
-
-For the prototype, all three are injectable (see tests).
+  - flush_digest() should be called on a schedule (e.g. every 30 min) and
+    its output posted to main chat once.

+
+Why this exists
+---------------
+``muse resume`` scopes its picker by workspace but is blind to muse-auth
+profiles, and the TUI ``/resume`` reads session logs itself and lumps every
+workspace into one heap. A session resumed under a different credential
+than the one that created it fails server-side: the continuation is
+cryptographically bound to the creating account, so the server rejects the
+resume. This tool lists only the sessions that can actually resume here
+and now, and guards ``resume`` calls before they fail.
+
+Data sources (read-only, no secrets)
+------------------------------------
+- ``~/.local/share/muse/session-index.db`` ``sessions`` table (``mode=ro``).
+  Fallback when the index is missing: scan ``sessions/*/*/*/*/session.jsonl``
+  for ``runtime.session.metadata`` (workspace_root) and
+  ``session.name.changed`` (session_name) records, mirroring ``/resume``.
+- ``~/.config/muse/active_profile``, ``session_profiles.json``,
+  ``switch_history.jsonl``: profile *names* only. ``auth.json`` token bytes
+  are never read, logged, or compared.
+
+Profile resolution mirrors ``muse-auth``: cached ``session_profiles.json``
+mapping wins; otherwise the latest switch at or before session start; else
+the earliest switch; else the active profile as fallback. When the auth
+dir is unreadable (e.g. inside the Muse sandbox, which masks it), the
+profile is ``unknown`` and only proven mismatches are hidden/blocked.

+"""muse_session_bind.py — Per-session credential isolation (P3).
+
+Each muse session gets its own config root::
+
+    /tmp/muse-session-<pid>/muse/
+      <everything symlinked from the global config EXCEPT auth.json>
+      auth.json            <- COPY of the bound profile's credentials (0600)
+    /tmp/muse-session-<pid>/bind.json  <- {profile, pid, created, auth_src}
+
+``launch`` execs muse with XDG_CONFIG_HOME pointed at the session dir
+(the binary resolves its config root as $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/muse, else
+$HOME/.config/muse), so switching profiles never disturbs live
+sessions: the fleet-wide 400 outage class disappears by construction.
+Exec (not supervise) preserves the pane's ``muse-bin`` identity, so
+watcher coverage and ``box runtime`` keep working unchanged.
+
+Token refreshes land in the session copy. ``save``/``reap`` copy newer
+bytes back to the profile store (newest-wins across concurrent
+sessions sharing a profile; nothing is ever written to the legacy
+global auth.json). Dead sessions are reaped by scan, so kill -9 loses
+nothing but promptness.
+
+Companion to the peer's muse_resume_pool (which reads
+session_profiles.json): ``launch --session-id`` records the binding
+there for future resume guards.

+  2. Provisions infrastructure (WireGuard, dedicated netns, CDP port, chrome-box profile).
+  3. Launches authentication via cred_client / onboard-driver.
+  4. Waits for / accepts OTP code.
+  5. Checks age verification gate (Tailscale portal / Instagram link).

+  7. Injects operational DRIVE and marks the node active.
+  8. Can dispatch cryptographically signed work orders ([WO]) to prompting sidechats.

+"""tmux_auto_approver.py — Tmux worker management, worker tallies, and regex auto-approvals.
+
+Supports:
+1. Multi-socket and multi-agent discovery:
+   - Shared host socket: /tmp/tmux-muse.sock
+   - User sockets: /tmp/tmux-1000/default, /tmp/tmux-1000/lte
+   - Agent netns sockets: /tmp/tmux-<node>.sock (muse, pip, 646, opm, dev, def)
+2. Worker Tally:
+   - Aggregates active sessions, windows, panes, current commands, PIDs, and runtimes.
+3. Regex Auto-Approvals for on-board muse-code runs and autonomous agent workers:
+   - Muse Code execution prompts ("Would you like to run the following... -> 1")
+   - A/B/C choice prompts -> "A"
+   - Numbered menus -> "1"
+   - y/n confirmation prompts -> "y"
+   - Press Enter prompts -> "Enter"
+   - Safety guardrails (passwords, passkeys, destructive commands are never auto-approved)
+4. State persistence & audit logging:
+   - Desired state in .state/tmux-auto-approvals.json
+   - Audit log stream in logs/tmux/auto-approvals.jsonl
+5. Surface linking with https://box.muse-dev.online/

+"""tmux_server_watchdog.py — Death-capture for tmux servers.
+
+Runs on a 1-minute systemd timer. Remembers each known socket's server
+pid; when a server dies or its pid changes without a witnessed death,
+appends a forensics bundle (dmesg OOM/kill lines, memory, uptime,
+journal tail) to logs/tmux-server-deaths.jsonl so the next "tmux
+crashed" leaves evidence instead of a mystery.
+
+Read-only against tmux itself: one `display-message -p` probe per
+socket. Never raises; a watchdog must not need its own watchdog.

+# Ticket #213 verification — SSH key perms and container dial-in (646)
+
+Date: 2026-10-09 ~22:50 UTC
+Operator: operator-646 (muse-646-patha)
+Branch: `dev/646/213-fix-ssh-perms`
+
+## 1. authorized_keys permissions (port 2226 dial-in)
+
+- `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` (`/home/hatch/.ssh/authorized_keys`):
+  - before: `600 root:root`
+  - ran `chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys` per ticket
+  - after: `600 root:root` (no-op — already correct)
+- sshd's requirement (private key file must not be group/world-writable,
+  ideally 600) is satisfied. `~/.ssh` itself is `700`.
+
+## 2. Container sshd
+
+- `sshd` running (pid 2655, listener, 0 of 10-100 startups).
+- Listening on `0.0.0.0:22` and `[::]:22`.
+- `authorized_keys` holds 1 key:
+  - `ssh-ed25519 SHA256:UOeqKF5BehWNmEpBSk53Qhz0Jd9aQXbFO0VKe2AVo8c`
+    (comment `super@bl`) — dial-in identity belongs to super.
+
+## 3. Reverse tunnel (VM 2226 → container:22)
+
+- On VM 34.139.37.135 (as dev-operator-646): `127.0.0.1:2226` and
+  `[::1]:2226` are LISTENING — the reverse tunnel is up.
+- Bind is loopback-only (no GatewayPorts), so dial-in must originate
+  from the VM itself — expected for `ssh -R` forwards.
+
+## 4. Dial-in path verdict
+
+Container-side prerequisites are all green: perms 600, sshd listening,
+tunnel established, authorized key present. The final key-auth step can
+only be completed by the holder of the `super@bl` private key, so no
+full loopback auth was attempted from this operator identity.

+# Box Read-Only Lookups over HTTPS (Agent Access, No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** bl side implemented; VM board REST below is specified, not yet implemented
+**Scope:** read-only lookups only (fleet, threads, unread, dm log). Mutations stay on existing paths.
+
+## 1. Problem
+
+Agents in containers reach box over a 2-hop SSH chain (container → VM → bl).
+SSH toggles lapse and every agent needs the full chain configured. Agents need
+the daily read lookups — "latest from each agent" — over HTTPS with no secrets
+on the wire.
+
+## 2. What exists now (bl side, implemented)
+
+Two agent HTTPS paths already serve reads; both use the same signature auth
+(`ssh-keygen -Y sign`, namespace per server, ±300s clock skew, nonce replay
+cache) and per-agent principals from `dm-signers/allowed_signers`:
+
+| Path | Server | Client | Auth namespace |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Named ops (works today) | `bin/exec-constrained.py` via `https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec` | `bin/exec-sign.sh <op> '<args>'` or `bin/box-relay.sh` (served at `GET /box`) | `exec-constrained` |
+| Typed REST (specified below) | VM board `/srv/board/server.py` | any HTTPS client | `box-api` |
+
+New named ops (this change, all `side_effecting: false`, all in `DEFAULT_PERMS`
+so any valid fleet signer may call them):
+
+- `fleet.unread` `{"agent"?}` → `box-ctl.py unread [--agent X]`
+- `dm.log` `{"limit"?, "agent"?}` (limit 1..100, default 20) → `box-ctl.py dm-log [limit] [--agent X]`
+
+Already present and unchanged: `health.check` (fleet status), `thread.list`,
+`thread.view`, `dm.read`, `chat.messages`.
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands (this change):
+
+```bash
+box unread [<agent>]                 # fleet unread/activity counts
+box dm log [<limit=20>] [--agent <agent>]
+```
+
+New `box-ctl.py` backend verbs (this change; also callable over the board's
+existing SSH bridge until the board speaks REST):
+
+```bash
+box-ctl.py unread [--agent <agent>]
+box-ctl.py dm-log [limit] [--agent <agent>]   # back-compat: bare [limit] unchanged
+```
+
+Also fixed: `box lookup unread` / `muse unread` previously always failed with
+"Unknown lookup target 'unread'" (`_lookup_unreads` was never wired into
+`cmd_lookup`); it now works and supports `--json`.
+
+## 3. VM board REST (to implement on the VM)
+
+Base: `https://box.muse-dev.online/api/box`. All endpoints require
+agent-signature auth (§4) or the existing `ops_session` cookie (humans).
+
+```text
+GET /api/box/fleet            exists today; keep behavior
+GET /api/box/threads?agent=X  backend: box-ctl.py thread-list --agent X (pass JSON through)
+GET /api/box/unread?agent=X   backend: box-ctl.py unread [--agent X]
+GET /api/box/dm/log?limit=N&agent=X
+                              backend: box-ctl.py dm-log [N] [--agent X]
+```
+
+### Agent scoping (server-enforced)
+
+- Verified identity `operator-X` or `X` (X in `muse,pip,646,opm,def,dev`)
+  may only read slices for X. The board MUST pass `--agent X` to box-ctl and
+  MUST NOT accept a different `agent=` query value from that identity.
+- `ops_session` (human PIN login) may omit `agent=` and read the full fleet.
+- Unknown/expired signatures → `401`. Authenticated but out-of-scope → `403`.
+
+### Response schemas (bl verbs pass through unchanged)
+
+`GET /api/box/unread`:
+
+```json
+{"ok": true, "nodes": [
+  {"node": "muse", "unread": 2, "approval_pending": false,
+   "title": "muse (2)", "thread": "abc123-uuid-or-null"}
+]}
+```
+
+`GET /api/box/dm/log` (agent filter matches entries from OR to the agent):
+
+```json
+{"ok": true,
+ "entries": [{"type": "sent", "id": "bdf7beb6", "agent": "opm",
+              "to": "pip", "target": "pip tasks",
+              "ts": "2026-10-06T05:56:01.328629+00:00"}],
+ "dms": ["... same array, legacy key ..."]}
+```
+
+`GET /api/box/fleet`: existing `{"ok": true, "fleet": [...]}` shape, unchanged.
+
+Errors follow `docs/BOX-API-DESIGN-DMS.md` §3.1 (`{"ok": false, "code", "error"}`).
+
+## 4. Agent-signature auth for the REST endpoints
+
+Same identity primitive as signed DMs and `exec-constrained.py`; a signature
+is not a secret, so agents can sign without handling credentials.
+
+1. Client builds the canonical string (LF-separated, no trailing newline):
+
+   ```text
+   {METHOD}\n{PATH}\n{SORTED_QUERY}\n{TS}\n{NONCE}
+   ```
+
+   - `METHOD`: `GET`; `PATH`: e.g. `/api/box/dm/log`; `SORTED_QUERY`: raw
+     query string sorted by key (`agent=opm&limit=5`), empty string when none.
+   - `TS`: unix epoch seconds; `NONCE`: 16–128 hex chars, single use.
+2. Client signs it: `ssh-keygen -Y sign -f <key> -n box-api`.
+3. Client sends headers (armor is base64-encoded to stay header-safe):
+
+   ```text
+   X-Box-Identity: operator-646
+   X-Box-Timestamp: 1728...
+   X-Box-Nonce: <hex>
+   X-Box-Signature: <base64 of the -----BEGIN SSH SIGNATURE----- armor>
+   ```
+
+4. Server recomputes the canonical string from the received request, base64-
+   decodes the signature, and runs `ssh-keygen -Y verify -f allowed_signers
+   -I <identity> -n box-api -s <sigfile>` with the canonical string on stdin.
+   Accept only if: verify exit 0, `|now-TS| ≤ 300`, nonce unseen (cache ≥600s).
+   Signers file is synced from bl `dm-signers/allowed_signers`.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+TS=$(date +%s); NONCE=$(python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(16))")
+CANON=$(printf 'GET\n/api/box/dm/log\nagent=opm&limit=5\n%s\n%s' "$TS" "$NONCE")
+SIG=$(printf '%s' "$CANON" | ssh-keygen -Y sign -f ~/.ssh/id_frontdoor -n box-api \
+  | base64 -w0)
+curl -s 'https://box.muse-dev.online/api/box/dm/log?agent=opm&limit=5' \
+  -H "X-Box-Identity: operator-646" -H "X-Box-Timestamp: $TS" \
+  -H "X-Box-Nonce: $NONCE" -H "X-Box-Signature: $SIG"
+```
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- `exec-constrained.py` reads `OPS` at startup: restart the service after
+  deploying for `fleet.unread` / `dm.log` to appear in `GET /ops`.
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to get
+  `unread` / `dm log`.
+- Until the VM board implements §3, agents use the named-ops path (§2),
+  which needs no SSH today.
+- Non-goals: write endpoints (`dm.send` etc. stay on the ops path for now),
+  PIN/human flows (unchanged), secret handling (no secrets cross the wire).

+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed, plus fast node validation and

+SSH-only.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents blocked on browser approvals needed SSH to see fleet approval
+state, deny a bad prompt, auto-resolve trusted prompts, or allow a
+known-good one. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or Bearer [REDACTED], named-op
+allowlist, audit log).
+
+## 2. New ops
+
+| Op | Args | Backend | Access |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `approval.check` | `{node?}` (default fleet) | `box-ctl.py approval-check` | read-only, in `DEFAULT_PERMS` |

+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands:

+
+## 3. What the decisions do
+
+- `approval.allow` clicks Allow **once** on the node's active prompt.
+  There is deliberately no remote `--always` (persistent site allow)
+  or `--force`.
+- `approval.deny` clicks Deny on the node's active prompt.
+- `approval.auto` scans (fleet or one node) and allows only TRUSTED
+  non-key prompts. Key/passkey approvals are never auto-approved;
+  they need an explicit allow/deny, which notifies the waiting agent.
+- All three are audited with identity + op + node.
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Attribution is mandatory.** The allow/deny flows DM the waiting
+  agent, historically with an `[operator]` prefix. A remote caller is
+  an agent, not the operator — so the exec layer **requires** a
+  non-empty `message` (≤2000 chars, no controls) on both allow and
+  deny. (`box-ctl.py` still permits omitting `--message` for SSH
+  callers; the HTTPS layer is the narrower gate.)
+- **One-shot only.** The allow argv never carries `--always` or
+  `--force`; the validators reject those keys. Persistence stays an
+  SSH-side decision.
+- **Sidechat-first.** `allow_main_chat` defaults to false; Main Chat
+  delivery needs the explicit flag, same as `notify`/`dm.ack`.
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Nodes must be fleet members (fast
+  `BAD_NODE` before any CDP probe — `approval-check`/`approval-auto`
+  gained the same node check allow/deny already had); unknown arg
+  keys rejected.
+- **Timeouts.** Check 180s (fleet CDP scan), auto 300s (scan plus one
+  click per trusted prompt), allow/deny 120s.
+- **Retry-safe reads.** `approval-check` / `approval-list` joined
+  `IDEMPOTENT_ACTIONS`; all six approval verbs have
+  `quality-validate` dry-run branches.
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the 4 new ops to
+  appear in `GET /ops` (repo total becomes 83).
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to
+  get the `approvals` group.
+- While fleet browsers crash-loop, decision ops fail honestly
+  (`APPROVAL_FAILED` / CDP errors) instead of hanging; check still
+  reports per-node state including `UNREACHABLE`.
+- Non-goals: deletes, `main-loop` enable/disable, policy writes,
+  swarm kill/prune — future expansions, same pattern.

+# Box Dev + Comms over HTTPS (No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-ctl.py` + `box-relay.sh`)
+**Scope:** git visibility, test runs, notify, work-order acks. Read-only lookups
+live in `docs/BOX-API-READ-HTTPS.md`.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents developing the box must inspect the tree, run the suite, nudge peers,
+and acknowledge work orders without SSH. All of this now rides the existing
+agent HTTPS path (`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or bearer
+auth, named-op allowlist, audit log) — no new trust model.
+
+## 2. New ops
+
+| Op | Args | Backend | Write? | Who |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `git.status` | `{}` | `box-ctl.py git-status` | no | any valid signer |
+| `git.diff` | `{path?, stat?}` | `box-ctl.py git-diff [--stat] [--path p]` | no | any valid signer |
+| `git.log` | `{limit?, path?}` (1..50, default 10) | `box-ctl.py git-log` | no | any valid signer |
+| `tests.run` | `{test?, filter?}` (`tests.<module>` or full suite; `filter` is unittest `-k`) | `box-ctl.py tests-run [module] [--filter p]` | yes (executes) | known identities only |
+| `notify.send` | `{agent, message≤1000, sidechat?, sender?}` | `box-ctl.py notify ...` | yes (sends DM) | known identities only |
+| `dm.ack` | `{id, to, sender!, sidechat?, allow_main_chat?}` | `box-ctl.py ack ...` | yes (sends DM) | known identities only |
+
+New `box-ctl.py` verbs: `git-status`, `git-diff`, `git-log`, `tests-run`,
+`ack` (all in `USAGE`, `quality-validate`, and — for the git reads —
+`IDEMPOTENT_ACTIONS`).
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands:
+
+```bash
+box git status
+box git diff [--stat] [--path <path>]     # path also accepted positionally
+box git log [<limit=10>] [--path <path>]
+box tests run [tests.<module>] [--filter <pattern>]  # full suite (~2-3 min) when omitted; filter is -k
+box notify <agent> [--sidechat <n>] [--sender <a>] <message...>
+box dm ack <id> --to <agent> --sender <agent> [--sidechat <name>]
+```
+
+Raw op call (signature auth, no token):
+
+```bash
+exec-sign.sh git.log '{"limit": 5, "path": "bin/dm.py"}'
+exec-sign.sh tests.run '{"test": "tests.test_box_dev_https"}'
+exec-sign.sh dm.ack '{"id": "bdf7beb6", "to": "pip", "sender": "opm"}'
+```
+
+## 3. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Clients influence only whitelisted argument
+  values. Git paths must be repo-relative without `..` (plus symlink-escape
+  check in box-ctl); test modules must match `^tests\.[a-z0-9_]+$` and exist;
+  ack ids must be 6–64 hex; notify messages ≤1000 chars.
+- **Caps.** `git diff` output capped at 64KB, status at 200 entries, test
+  output at 32KB tail; every capped response carries `truncated: true`.
+- **Sidechat-first.** `notify.send` and `dm.ack` default to the recipient's
+  sidechat and never touch Main Chat unless `allow_main_chat` is set —
+  mirroring `box-ctl.py notify` and the WO dispatcher.
+- **Attribution.** `sender` is caller-asserted (validated ∈ fleet agents),
+  same as the existing `dm.send` op; the HTTPS identity is recorded
+  separately in the exec audit log. `dm.ack` requires an explicit sender —
+  no silent default.
+- **tests.run executes repo code** (whatever is in `tests/`), so it is
+  `side_effecting`, excluded from the read-only default permission subset,
+  and capped at a 600s timeout. Test failures report as
+  `{"ok": false, "returncode", "output"}` — the op itself succeeded.
+- New `box-ctl.py` fail codes `GIT_ERROR` / `TESTS_ERROR` are registered in
+  `KNOWN_ERROR_CODES`, so `quality-check` stays at its baseline.
+
+## 4. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the new ops to appear in
+  `GET /ops`.
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to get
+  `git` / `tests` / `notify` / `dm ack`.
+- Non-goals: git commit/push, service restarts for box itself, live
+  streaming tails — future expansions, same pattern.

+# Box Job Lifecycle over HTTPS (No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed)
+**Scope:** safe job-lifecycle mutations. Deletes are deliberately NOT
+exposed (`job-delete`, `timer-delete` stay SSH/operator-only).
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents own scheduled automation but could only run jobs (`cron.run`) or read
+them (`box.exec`). Creating, updating, triggering, chaining, previewing, and
+pausing jobs needed SSH. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or bearer auth, named-op
+allowlist, audit log).
+
+## 2. New ops
+
+| Op | Args | Backend | Write? | Who |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `job.put` | `{name, definition}` | `box-ctl.py job-put` (definition on stdin) | yes (writes + commits) | known identities only |
+| `job.trigger` | `{name}` | `box-ctl.py job-trigger` | yes (dispatches now) | known identities only |

+| `job.next` | `{job_id, success?}` | `box-ctl.py job-next` | no (dry-run) | any valid signer |
+| `cron.timer_stop` | `{name}` | `box-ctl.py timer-stop` | yes (systemd) | known identities only |
+| `cron.timer_disable` | `{name}` | `box-ctl.py timer-disable` | yes (systemd) | known identities only |
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands:
+
+```bash
+box cron put <name> '<json-definition>'   # create or update (see §3)
+box cron trigger <name>                   # dispatch now (audited JSON)
+box cron chain <from> <to> [--on-failure] # wire chain_next
+box cron next <job-id> [--success|--fail] # dry-run: what dispatches next
+box timer stop <name>                     # pause schedule (keeps unit)
+box timer disable <name>                  # pause schedule (disables unit)
+```
+
+Raw op call (signature auth, no token):
+
+```bash
+exec-sign.sh job.next '{"job_id": "heartbeat-20200101-000000-deadbeef"}'
+exec-sign.sh job.chain '{"from": "ops-audit-step2", "to": "ops-audit-step3"}'
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `job.trigger` vs existing `job.run`: `job.run` shells straight to
+  `job-dispatch.py` and relays raw output; `job.trigger` goes through
+  `box-ctl.py` (existence check, 300s bound, audit trail, JSON contract).
+  Prefer `job.trigger` for agent-driven dispatches.
+- `job.next` job ids look like `<name>-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-<8hex>`; with no
+  `success` flag the box infers it from the last recorded result.
+
+## 3. Job definition shape (`job.put`)
+
+The full schema is enforced by `box-ctl.py validate_job` (single copy);
+required fields: `name` (must match the argv name), `schedule` (`manual`
+or convertible cron), `agent` (fleet member), `prompt_template` (1–4000
+chars, no protocol literals, known `{placeholders}` only). `timeout`
+60–3600s, `on_failure` policy, optional `chain_next` (must exist) and
+`sidechat` / `dm_target` routing. `box-ctl.py` writes `jobs/<name>.json`
+and commits (`Add/Update job <name> via box-ctl`).
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Job names match
+  `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$`; trigger/chain/timer ops require the job
+  file to exist; chain rejects self-links and cycles; timer ops require
+  the unit to exist. All checks run before any side effect.
+- **Stdin plumbing.** `job.put` is the first op to pipe a request body to
+  `box-ctl.py` stdin (the raw definition, not the envelope); the routing
+  lives in one helper (`_stdin_body`) covered by unit tests.
+- **No deletes, no kills.** `job-delete` / `timer-delete` are reachable
+  only over the operator SSH path, by explicit scope decision.
+- **Audited.** Every execution records identity + op + args hash;
+  `box-ctl.py` additionally audits each mutation with its target.
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the new ops to appear in
+  `GET /ops`.
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to get
+  the `cron put|trigger|chain|next` and `timer stop|disable` commands.
+- Non-goals: deletes, `job-result` ingestion, `strat`/`loop` writes,
+  approvals — future expansions, same pattern.

+# Box Loop + Strategy Writes over HTTPS (No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed, plus a vars-name validator fix)
+**Scope:** safe loop/strategy/variable mutations. Reads (`loop-status`,
+`loop-health`, `loop-breaks`, `strat-get`, `vars-get`, ...) already ride
+`box.exec` or typed read ops and are unchanged here.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents watching loop health could see breaks but needed SSH to remediate
+them, resolve stale followups, tune strategy overrides, or undo variable
+changes. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or bearer auth, named-op

+| `vars.reset` | `{name}` | `box-ctl.py vars-reset` (restore default) |

+box loop resolve <dm_id> [note...]

+```
+
+## 3. What remediate does (non-dry)
+
+`loop.remediate` delegates to `gravity.remediate_breaks`: resolves
+followups already answered in logs, re-arms expired followups with nudges
+remaining (runs the followup sweeper once), auto-allows TRUSTED (non-key)
+browser approvals, and on hard breaks appends a `hard_break_alert` to
+job-log plus one DM to opm. Use `{"dry_run": true}` first to preview the
+`remediated` / `escalated` lists with zero side effects.
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Strategy types are a strict enum
+  (`wake|job|siphon|manual|health|heartbeat`) — the backend silently maps
+  typos to MANUAL, so the op rejects them instead. Priorities are a
+  strict enum; timeouts/nudges must be integers (backend clamps);
+  dm ids must be 6–64 hex; variable names mirror the engine identifier
+  rule. All checks run before any side effect.
+- **Stdin-free.** Unlike `job.put`, `strat.set` passes its JSON payload
+  as an argv token (`strat-set <type> [JSON]`), so no new stdin plumbing
+  was needed.
+- **Vars-name validator fix.** `quality-validate` for all five vars
+  verbs used the job-name regex (`^[a-z0-9-]{1,64}$`), rejecting every
+  real variable name (`max_nudge_count`, ...). They now share
+  `qv_var_name` (`^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]{1,64}$`), mirroring the
+  `exec-constrained.py` rule.
+- **Audited.** Every execution records identity + op + args hash;
+  `box-ctl.py` additionally audits each mutation with its target.

+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed, plus traversal hardening, output caps,
+`--stdin` content plumbing, and hyphenated amend/append/pull aliases)
+**Scope:** md reads (audit/list/read/diff) + governed writes
+(amend/append/pull/inject-drive/sync-all). Raw container writes
+(`md-write`) stay SSH-only by design.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents shaping fleet behavior could see drive scores but needed SSH to
+read an agent's `SOUL.md`, diff it against the canonical template, or
+push updated operator files. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or Bearer [REDACTED], named-op

+
+## 2. New ops
+
+Reads (all `side_effecting: false`, all in `DEFAULT_PERMS`):

+exec-sign.sh md.append '{"filename": "AGENTS.md", "text": "lesson ...", "author": "646"}'
+```
+
+## 3. What the governed writes do
+
+- `md.amend` rewrites a `shared/operators/` template after the
+  drive-safety checks (HEARTBEAT checklist not gutted,
+  PROACTIVE_PREFERENCES not blanked, SOUL not reverted to stock),
+  then git-commits it. Full-file content rides stdin (up to 256KB).
+- `md.append` appends a timestamped, attributed note (optional section)
+  via the same validated + committed path (up to 64KB).
+- `md.pull` / `md.inject_drive` / `md.sync_all` push canonical
+  templates *out* to containers; no agent-supplied content crosses.
+  Injection always overwrites (AGENTS.md preserves remote `## Lessons`).
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Traversal hardening (single-copy in `agent_md.py`).** Account,
+  filename, and list-path validation now lives in `agent_md.py`
+  (`MDValidationError`, raised before any gateway call or write);
+  `box-ctl.py` maps it to `BAD_NAME`, and exec ops + quality-validate
+  mirror the same shapes. Previously `md-read 646 ../x` reached the
+  gateway and `md amend ../../x` could escape `shared/operators/`.
+  Template flows (diff/amend/append/pull) additionally require one of
+  the 8 known template names.
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Unknown arg keys rejected; author /
+  reason / section are control-char-free with length caps; amend
+  content must be non-empty.
+- **Caps with `truncated` flags.** Reads cap at 64KB, diffs at 64KB,
+  listings at 200 entries — same convention as git/tests verbs.
+- **No raw `md-write` op.** Arbitrary content-to-container stays
+  SSH-only; remote writes go through the validated template flows.
+- **Timeouts.** Audit 300s, sync-all 600s, single-file ops 120s.
+- **Audited.** Every execution records identity + op; `box-ctl.py`
+  additionally audits each verb with its target.
+- **Retry-safe reads.** `md-audit` / `md-list` / `md-read` / `md-diff`
+  joined `IDEMPOTENT_ACTIONS`; all ten md verbs have
+  `quality-validate` dry-run branches.
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the 9 new ops to
+  appear in `GET /ops` (repo total becomes 79).
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to
+  get the `md` group.
+- Non-goals: deletes, `main-loop` enable/disable, policy writes,

+# Box Stability Watcher & Host Load Mitigation
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-07  
+**Scope:** Host `bl` (100.123.153.75), NetVM execution stability, and preventative runaway containment.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Incident Post-Mortem (2026-10-07)
+
+### Symptoms
+- Host `bl` stopped responding over SSH and Tailscale ("went dark") at ~16:44 UTC.
+- Connections timed out during SSH banner exchange (`Connection timed out during banner exchange`).
+- Tailscale direct connections dropped, failing back to DERP relay `nyc` before dropping entirely.
+
+### Forensics & Root Cause
+1. **Tmux Memory Leak & OOM Killer:**
+   - At 16:44:52 UTC, `systemd` triggered an OOM-kill on `tmux.service`:
+     ```
+     tmux.service: Consumed 5h 52min 34s CPU time ... 22.3G memory peak, 1.3G memory swap peak.
+     tmux.service: Failed with result "oom-kill".
+     ```
+   - Multiple `muse-bin` worker processes running inside background tmux windows had accumulated 22.3 GB of memory against the host 28 GB RAM and 4 GB swap.
+2. **Avalanche Load Spike (Load Avg: 515.17):**
+   - The unconstrained crash triggered core dump collection (`systemd-coredump`) and simultaneous resurrection of multiple background sessions.
+   - Host 1-minute load average spiked to **515.17** (on a 16-core CPU), starving kernel network processing and dropping incoming SSH and Tailscale packets.
+3. **Crash Loop Contributor:**
+   - Concurrently, `audio-patchbay.service` was stuck in a tight infinite failure loop (restarting >1,075,000 times) due to a headless GTK initialization panic, generating relentless fork/exit churn.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Hardening Measures Implemented
+
+### A. Dedicated Watcher Directory (`Projects/NetVM/watchers/`)
+Created a dedicated project folder inside `Projects/NetVM/` containing:
+- `watchers/box-stability-watcher.py`: Core stability supervisor.
+- `watchers/box-stability.json`: Operational configuration & thresholds.
+- `watchers/README.md`: Architecture and usage guide.
+- `bin/box-stability-watcher.py`: Symlink for operator CLI access.
+
+### B. Proactive Mitigation Tiers
+- **Tier GREEN (<20 load, <80% RAM):** Passive observation.
+- **Tier YELLOW (20-35 load, 80-90% RAM):** Renices rogue CPU hogs to `nice +15` to protect interactive SSH and Tailscale responsiveness.
+- **Tier ORANGE (35-60 load, >90% RAM, or process RSS >3000MB):** Proactively sends `SIGTERM` to individual leaky worker processes (`muse-bin`, headless renderers) before system memory is exhausted and kernel OOM kills `tmux.service`.
+- **Tier RED (>60 load, >95% RAM, or >92% Swap):** Emergency shedder that terminates non-protected heavy consumers (>1500MB) to avert complete system lockup.

+## 2. Tmux Auto-Approval Regex Match Engine
+
+The auto-approval engine monitors scrollback across all agent panes and matches approval prompts against priority rules:
+
+| Rule ID | Category | Trigger Pattern | Response Key | Press Enter | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `muse_code_run_numbered` | `muse_code` | `Would you like to run the following[\s\S]*?›\s*1\.\s*Yes,?\s*proceed` | `1` | `false` | Muse Code interactive run menu (selects option 1) |
+| `muse_code_run_yn` | `muse_code` | `›\s*1\.\s*Yes,?\s*proceed\s*\(y\)` | `1` | `false` | Active selection indicator on `1. Yes, proceed (y)` |
+| `muse_code_allow_execution` | `muse_code` | `Allow\s+execution\s+of\b[\s\S]*?\[y/N\]` | `y` | `true` | Approves script execution confirmation |
+| `choice_abc` | `choice` | `(?i)(?:choose\|choice\|select)[\s\S]*?^\s*[A-Z]\s*[.\)\-:]\s+\S` | `A` | `true` | Lettered decision choice menus |
+| `menu_numbered` | `menu` | `(?i)(?:Option:\|Selection:)[\s\S]*?^\s*\(?1\)?\s+[A-Za-z]` | `1` | `true` | Numbered selection menus |
+| `confirm_yn` | `confirm` | `([yY]/[nN]\|\[[yY]/[nN]\])\s*[\]:)>]?\s*$` | `y` | `true` | Line-end confirmation prompts |
+| `enter_to_continue` | `enter` | `(?i)(?:Press\s+\[?Enter\]?\s+to\s+continue)` | `Enter` | `false` | Enter-to-continue banners |
+
+### Guardrails (Never Auto-Approved)
+- `[sudo] password for ...` / `password:` prompts
+- Passkeys, private key passphrases, and PIN prompts
+- Destructive operations (`rm -rf /`, `mkfs.*`)
+
+When a guardrail pattern is detected, the engine flags `is_blocked=true`, emits a warning audit log, and notifies the human operator.

+### Queued Background Task Reviews ("N tasks need review")
+When multiple scheduled tasks or background operations trigger approval prompts concurrently (e.g. `opm` with scheduled Fleet Health Monitor runs):
+1. Muse renders the first approval card inline over chat.
+2. Below it, Muse docks a background approval banner:
+   `<div data-testid="hatch-inline-approval-card" data-hatch-background-approval-surface="true">`
+   stating `"N tasks need review"` with a `"Review"` button (`data-pel-click="chat_background_approval_review"`).
+3. Allowing or denying the active approval immediately advances the queue: the next queued task pops into the active inline panel, decrementing the background count (e.g. from 2 down to "A task needs review" to clear).
+4. Automated approval engines must inspect both the active card and `[data-hatch-background-approval-surface="true"]` to confirm whether agents remain blocked.
+
+### Troubleshooting Blocked Agents
+- **In `muse-tui`**: Type `/blocked` (or press `[a]` / `F2`) from any view to open the Approvals & Blocked Tasks Drawer. Use `j`/`k` or arrow keys to navigate between blocked nodes; press `[1]` to Allow, `[2]` Always, `[3]` Deny, `[R]` Proceed, `[X]` Dismiss. Actions target the highlighted agent.
+- **In CLI**: Run `box blocked` or `box approvals` to view fleet approval status; use `box approvals allow <node>` to approve.

+# Identity Plane — per-scope network identity for runtimes
+
+Runtimes are sandboxed to centrally-managed network identities keyed by
+auth scope. Compute lives in scripts, never in agent runtimes:
+attestation runs outside-in (pid → session → harness scans assign
+scope; runtimes never claim it).
+
+## Model
+
+- **Grouping level = account api origin** (email-anchored). One oauth
+  subject, or one main account behind several API keys, is a group.
+- **Isolation unit = api token.** Lookup resolves `api_key →
+  account_origin(s)`; one origin rolls scope UP to the umbrella
+  account, two or more (openrouter + provider) keep scope DOWN at the
+  key itself. The account is master; the key is never authoritative
+  about its own scope.
+- **Cycling follows the scope unit.** Rotation is the priority
+  mechanism; a cycle provisions a fresh identity for whatever the
+  scope unit is.
+- **Keys referenced by fingerprint** (`sha256:<64hex>`) in the
+  checked-in map. Key bytes never appear in the map, state, code
+  paths, or CLI output. CLI shows emails and fingerprints only.
+
+## Files
+
+- `identity-map.json` (tracked): `{accounts: {email: {keys:
+  [{fp, origins[], label?}]}}}`. Fingerprints via
+  `identity-resolve.py fp`. Top-level `_` entries are doc-only.
+- `identity-state.json` (gitignored runtime state): scope →
+  label/provider/netns assignment + run bindings.
+- `bin/identity-resolve.py`: pure resolver + `fp` / `lookup` / `check`.
+- `bin/identity-provider.py`: `Provider` interface, real
+  `WarpProvider`, boilerplate `GenericWireGuardProvider` and
+  `SocksProxyProvider`.
+- `bin/identity-broker.py`: lifecycle (`up/down/cycle/exec/routes/
+  status/bind`). `--map` / `--state` select files.
+- `tests/test_identity_plane.py`: resolver, provider shapes, broker
+  transitions, CLI flags — stubbed runners only.
+
+## Warp provider (live)
+
+Built on established structures: identity via
+`netvm-new-identity.sh` (operator-authorized 2026-10-03), netns via
+`netvm-node-up.sh` / `netvm-node-down.sh` (`warp-<label>`), exec via
+`netvm-exec.sh`. Scopes are NOT nodes: no chrome-box profile, no
+NODES.md entry. Labels fit `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,22}$` as

+removal is denied it fails closed with the exact human step.
+
+## Known limits / deferred stages
+
+- Consumer Warp shares one egress IP across distinct identities
+  (verified live; see `docs/WARP-EGRESS-FIX.md`). Cycling rotates
+  identity keys, not egress IPs, until egress isolation lands or a
+  non-warp provider implements.
+- v1 scopes NETWORK identity only. Short-lived brokered credential
+  issuance (runtimes holding no raw keys) is deferred; harnesses
+  receive keys through existing means.
+- `bind` attributes agent-manager scans to scopes by session name;
+  pid-anchored continuous attestation (re-verify bindings on every
+  refresh) is future work.

+# Invite Code + Usage Handler
+
+`bin/invite.py` drives Muse.ai invite codes and usage limits through
+the agent browsers, exposed as `box invite` / `box usage`.
+
+## Flows
+
+- **Find** (`get_invite`): `GET /api/hatch/invite` via in-page fetch
+  (primary), falling back to the main-chat Invite popover parse
+  (`hatch-invite-friends-button` -> `[data-slot="popover-content"]`
+  -> `Invite code revealed: XXXXXX`) when the API fails.
+- **Redeem** (`redeem_invite`): `POST /api/hatch/invite-code/redeem`
+  `{code, supportsRedemptionStatus: true}` via in-page fetch.
+  Server reasons pass through verbatim: `already_redeemed`,
+  `invalid`, `used_up`, `revoked`, `window_expired`,
+  `rate_limited`, `unavailable`, `unknown`.
+- **Usage** (`get_usage`): Settings > General DOM read through the
+  `hatch_menu` tree (`dialog` open/tab/text + `tabs/general.py`
+  parse, adapted to the flat CLI keys). Real mouse events open the
+  radix dock menu (`hatch-dock-more`; synthetic clicks do not work),
+  then the `settings_nav_click` item, then the General tab.
+
+`open_settings()` / `click_settings_tab()` are public shims over
+`hatch_menu.dialog` (single copy; see `docs/HATCH-MENU.md`).
+
+## Eligibility & Lifecycle (observed live, 2026-10-06)
+
+- One redemption per account (`already_redeemed`).
+- 48h window from joining (`window_expired`).
+- Codes carry limited uses (`used_up`, e.g. 30) and can be revoked.
+- Inviter rewards accrue regardless of the inviter's own redemption
+  state (opm earned 4B from 4 redemptions while already redeemed).
+- When account B redeems account A's code: BOTH accounts immediately
+  receive 1 billion Muse tokens.
+
+## UI Quirks & Missing Field Resiliency
+
+- **Redeem field disappearance**: In Settings > General, the `Redeem invite code`
+  item is only present for fresh accounts (< 48 hours, has not redeemed). Once
+  redeemed, the field disappears completely and is replaced by the `Additional tokens`
+  ticker bar (`Never expires / X% used`).
+- **Missing Entrypoint Recovery & API Fallback**:
+  If the `Redeem invite code` row is absent (or sub-dialog input box `NativeAuthCodeBoxes`
+  fails to mount):
+  1. Box polls up to 2.5s for React hydration.
+  2. If still unrendered, Box automatically falls back to in-page API redemption (`POST /api/hatch/invite-code/redeem`).
+  3. If API redemption succeeds, Box returns success transparently.
+  4. If API also fails, Box records the exact server reason (`already_redeemed`, `window_expired`, etc.).
+  5. Box cleanly dismisses all open modals via Escape to avoid orphaned UI state.
+- **Asynchronous DOM Loading & Unloaded Stats**:
+  In the React/Radix UI tree, usage statistics render asynchronously after the dialog opens.
+  If network requests stall or quota bars fail to render, `read_usage()` and `box usage` gracefully
+  tag the result as `UNLOADED` (`stats_loaded: false`) rather than throwing uncaught `RuntimeError`s.
+- **DM Loopback & Transparent Agent Feedback**:
+  To keep agents in the loop without causing confusion:
+  - Any missing expected field or failed redemption can trigger an automated loopback DM
+    via `box invite redeem <node> <code> --notify <sidechat> [--notify-agent <agent>]`.
+  - Onboard and salvage pipelines automatically post diagnostic notices (`[ONBOARD-SALVAGE-LOOPBACK]` /
+    `[BOX-INVITE-LOOPBACK]`) to the agent's task sidechat, providing clear, actionable root cause.
+
+## Onboarding & Feeding Pipeline (`box onboard`)
+
+To feed token-deprived or blocked agents, the fleet automates onboarding of fresh client profiles:
+- **`box onboard feed-matrix`**: Lists all agents ranked by composite feeding weight:
+  `Urgency (Blocked/Limit) + Work Done Over Time (cumulative messages processed) + Active Job Volume + Role Criticality`.
+- **`box onboard start <new_node> --email <client_email> [--for <agent>]`**:
+  Provisions WireGuard tunnel, dedicated netns (`warp-<node>`), chrome-box profile,
+  initiates headless login, and queues the top-ranked beneficiary's invite code.
+- **`box onboard submit-otp <node> <otp>`**:
+  Submits transient verification code; once the session is active, automatically
+  redeems the queued code in Settings, granting 1B tokens to both agents, and injects operational DRIVE.
+- **`box onboard salvage-wo <node>`**:
+  Dispatches a cryptographically signed Work Order (`[WO]`) to the prompting sidechat.
+- **Loop Modulation**: `InputType.SALVAGE` is registered in `box loop strat` with `CRITICAL` priority,
+  600s timeout, and 3 auto-nudges escalating to `opm`.
+
+## Fleet State (2026-10-06)
+
+- `646`: Unblocked! Restored via `dev`'s redemption of `REDCJ7`. Currently ~1B tokens banked.
+- `dev`: Redeemed `REDCJ7`, currently ~1B tokens banked.
+- `def`: Active, 0 redemptions (`A4OS1F`, window expired).
+- `muse`: ~925M tokens banked (`81MDIR`).
+- `pip`: ~897M tokens banked (`F4BGHN`).
+- `opm`: 3.5B tokens banked (`14OGF2`, 4 friends redeemed).

+# MUSE-AUTH-CLI Decision Record
+
+Status: **Draft** — taken over in this checkout 2026-10-07 per user choice.
+Only explicit user acceptance moves this document (or any decision) to Final.
+
+Handoff note: a prior grill session settled D1–D11 and U1 and reportedly
+marked its own record Final, but that file lives in another checkout (absent
+here; this repo has no MUSE-AUTH-CLI.md, PI-AGENT-AUTH.md, OPERATORS.md, or
+agy-auth-switch). D1–D11 details below are CARRIED, not verified — their full
+text needs a paste or peer handoff before this record can go Final.
+
+## Goal
+
+Define the `muse-auth` CLI: per-profile credential switcher
+(`~/.config/muse/accounts/<name>/auth.json`), tailnet push/pull of profiles
+between nodes, and a session spend logger — without stranding live sessions
+(the 2026-10-07 fleet-wide 400 outage was a mid-stream credential swap).
+
+## Non-goals (proposed)
+
+- Implementation of `muse-auth` (needs a separate explicit request).
+- `agy-auth-switch` validation (Track B, separate lane; PI-AGENT-AUTH.md is Final).
+- OPERATORS.md amendment for agent-invokable keys (U2 follow-on, own delta).
+
+## Settled (from prior-session transcript, unverified here)
+
+### U1. Allowance reset period — SETTLED (calendar month)
+
+Profile token allowances reset on the 1st of each month UTC, matching
+standard billing cycles (not a rolling 30-day window).
+
+### D10/D11. Agent-invokable key handling — SETTLED in principle, amendment pending
+
+Decisions exist; codification as an OPERATORS.md amendment delta is the U2
+follow-on and is UNRESOLVED.
+
+### D1–D11 (remaining detail) — CARRIED, text unavailable
+
+Full decision text was settled in the prior session but is not present in
+this checkout. CARRIED as-is; paste or peer handoff required to verify.
+This record cannot go Final until they are quoted or re-settled here.
+
+## Scope contract (ACCEPTED 2026-10-07; user chose "accept the scope as written")
+
+- Artifact boundary: IN — this decision record only. OUT — runtime code,
+  tests, OPERATORS.md amendment, Track B validation.
+- Done means: (1) push/pull file-set decision settled; (2) live-session
+  guard decision settled; (3) D1–D11 text verified or re-settled;
+  (4) user explicitly accepts this record as Final.
+- Later stages (implementation, U2 amendment) each return for their own
+  interview; accepting this record never approves them.
+- "Go"/"do it all" authorize only the boundary above.
+
+## Settled Decisions (New)
+
+### P1. Push/pull transfer file set — SETTLED (Credentials + Metadata)
+
+Transfer `auth.json` (cookies, tokens, session identity) and `metadata.json` (plan tier, spend watermarks, profile label). Ephemeral caches, runtime logs, and local locks are omitted from transfer. (`profile.json` in the earlier grill options was shorthand for this file and is superseded; confirmed 2026-10-07.)
+
+### P2. Live-session switch guard — SETTLED (Block with Force Override)
+
+Refuse to switch credentials if active `muse-bin` or worker processes are detected holding the old profile identity. Operators must either terminate active processes first or explicitly pass `--force` to override, preventing mid-stream 400 outages caused by stale in-memory tokens. (Confirmed in this interview 2026-10-07.)
+
+## Pending
+
+None. (All pending architectural decisions P1 and P2 are settled).
+
+## Session credential isolation (P3 — BUILT 2026-10-07, user-ordered)
+
+Each muse session runs with an isolated config dir
+`/tmp/muse-session-<pid>/muse`: symlinks to `~/.config/muse/*` except
+`auth.json`, which is replaced with the bound profile's credentials;
+refreshed tokens sync back to the profile on session exit/save.
+
+Implications (unresolved): this largely obsoletes P2's block (switching
+stops disturbing live sessions; the guard becomes a backstop for
+legacy non-isolated sessions). Open risks: token sync-back races when
+two sessions share a profile (solved: newest-wins by mtime),
+sessions killed -9 never syncing (solved: reap-by-scan, no exit hook),
+symlink fragility (accepted: rebuilt per launch).
+
+Implementation: bin/muse_session_bind.py (`launch` builds the dir and
+execs with XDG_CONFIG_HOME; `save`/`reap` sync back; `status` lists).
+Key integration choice: exec, not supervise, so panes keep their
+muse-bin identity and watcher coverage is untouched. Tests:
+tests/test_muse_session_bind.py (13). Follow-ups for the owning lanes:
+wire `box runtime launch` / resume-pool `resume` through the binder,
+and arm a reap timer once the profile store (P1) exists.

+# Muse-Choices Deny/Escalate Policy — DECISION RECORD (Final)
+
+Topic: add deny/escalate decisions to the `muse-choices` auto-approve daemon
+(`bin/muse_choice_watcher.py`), which today only approves (top choice per
+prompt kind). Interviewed 2026-10-06/07 per grill contract; accepted
+verbatim below, which flipped this record from Draft to Final.
+
+## Standing constraints (settled by user)
+
+- All prompts must resolve: no stuck states are acceptable in any outcome.
+- The full-auto top-choice flow must always exist as a path.
+- Model review of choices is a FUTURE layer. Deferred out of this interview.
+
+## Settled decisions
+
+- D0 (helper form): a checked-in repo rules file informs decisions.
+  Source: user's structured answerquared 2026-10-06 ("Repo rules file
+  (Recommended)" for "which helper should inform approve/deny/hold
+  decisions"). Rationale recorded at selection time: deterministic,
+  versioned, sub-second, unit-testable; no agent round-trip latency.
+
+## Settled during interview
+
+- D0b (approve path needs no helper): straightforward prompts resolve
+  locally with top-choice keys (the five matcher kinds, already
+  implemented and live). Helpers (D0 rules file) govern deny/hold
+  judgments only. Source: user direction 2026-10-06 ("the watcher
+  itself should be able to input 1"; "always have the flow for full
+  auto just top choice").
+- D1 (rule match dimensions): command pattern first, plus kind and
+  text pattern. Source: user selected option 1, 2026-10-06.
+  Rationale: the observed risk lives in the `$ command` of approval
+  dialogs; kind/text add precision around it.
+- D2 (deny mechanics): deny exists only for permission kinds --
+  `muse-approval` dialogs receive `2` + Enter, `y/n` prompts receive
+  `n` + Enter. Question kinds (interview, letter, numbered) always
+  resolve top-choice and are never denied. Source: user selected
+  option 1, 2026-10-06. Rationale: deny is only meaningful where a
+  permission is refused; questions stay total.
+- D3 (hold mechanics): hold leaves the dialog untouched, suppresses
+  auto-answer, raises a HELD entry in `box muse-choices status` plus
+  an audit record; the operator resolves via a box command, otherwise
+  a SHORT window expires back to top-choice approve. Source: user
+  selected option 1 with "short window", 2026-10-06. Exact duration
+  proposed below (2 minutes, tunable); accepted or amended with the
+  scope text in D5.
+
+- D4 (unmatched default): approve top-choice, exactly today's
+  behavior. Source: user selected option 1, 2026-10-06. Rationale:
+  follows from the standing constraints; rules carve out only
+  deny/hold exceptions, so an empty rules file changes nothing.
+
+## Open questions (unresolved)
+
+None. All interview questions resolved and the scope accepted.
+
+## Scope contract (ACCEPTED)
+
+Artifact boundary, IN:
+
+- `docs/MUSE-CHOICES-POLICY.md`: this record (Draft -> Final on acceptance).
+- New `muse-choices-rules.json` at repo root (beside
+  `keepalive-config.json`): the checked-in deny/hold rules.
+- `bin/muse_choice_watcher.py`: rule evaluation, deny/hold paths, HELD
+  state with short-window expiry, resolve plumbing.
+- `bin/super-cli.py`: `box muse-choices resolve` command + HELD display
+  in status.
+- `tests/test_muse_choice_watcher.py`: rule eval, per-kind deny keys,
+  hold/suppress/expiry, resolve flow.
+
+Artifact boundary, OUT (rejected or deferred, each needs its own
+interview to re-enter):
+
+- Model review of choices (deferred future stage).
+- Peer-agent consultation (rejected in D0).
+- New matcher shapes (matcher suite's lane).
+- `box runtime` work (adjacent lane, untouched).
+- Timer cadence / daemon supervision changes.
+
+Done means (all observable):
+
+- [ ] This record marked Final with the acceptance quoted.
+- [ ] Rules file loads; empty rules == today's behavior exactly.
+- [ ] Deny sends `2`+Enter / `n`+Enter per D2: unit tests + one live
+      scratch proof per permission kind.
+- [ ] Hold suppresses + shows HELD + resolves via box + expires to
+      approve: unit tests + one live scratch proof of hold and one of
+      expiry.
+- [ ] Audit records for deny/hold/resolve/expire in `box-ctl.jsonl`.
+- [ ] Full suite green; fleet reloaded; desired state left as found.
+
+Acceptance (quoted verbatim, chat, 2026-10-07T00:19:57Z): "ACCEPT".
+Accepted as written, including the 2-minute tunable hold window. Per the
+grill scope contract, later work outside the IN boundary needs explicit
+owner approval or its own follow-up interview; "go" authorizes only this
+boundary. No owning issue exists in this workflow, so this record is the
+lane-coordination evidence.
+
+## Non-goals (accepted with the scope)
+
+- Model-based review of choices (deferred future layer).
+- Peer-agent consultation over sidechat (rejected in favor of D0).
+- Changes to approval matching shapes (covered by the matcher test suite).
+
+## agy hold-all exit criteria — DECISION RECORD (Final)
+
+Interview opened 2026-10-07. Topic selected by user (option 1, chat):
+what proof flips agy panes from hold-all to auto-answering. The D0–D5
+record above is Final and untouched by this interview. Numbering
+continues as E1+ to avoid collision.
+
+### Settled during interview
+
+- E1 (proof bar): supervised live proof per kind, fixed count.
+  Source: user selected option 1, 2026-10-07. Rationale: the risk is
+  behavioral (how agy's renderer treats digit keys) — only live
+  observation on real agy prompts proves it; synthetic tests cannot.
+  A correct observation means a resolve-approve (or equivalent
+  human-gated send of the kind's key) produces the intended selection
+  with no stray keys. The count itself is E1b.
+- E1b (count): three consecutive correct observations per kind,
+  uniform across kinds; a miss resets the count. Source: user
+  selected option 1, 2026-10-07. Rationale: one success could be
+  luck (cursor already placed); three in a row across separate
+  prompts proves the key binding, not the moment.
+- E2 (rollout grain): independent per-kind flip — each kind exits
+  hold-all the moment its 3 observations complete. Source: user
+  selected option 1, 2026-10-07. Rationale: matches the uniform bar;
+  rarely-seen kinds do not block proven ones.
+- E3 (flip authority): automatic on completed proof — the 3
+  observations are themselves human-gated (each a resolve-approve),
+  so completion is the approval. The flip applies automatically and
+  is recorded in the audit log plus a dated note in this doc.
+  Source: user selected option 1, 2026-10-07. Rationale: no extra
+  ceremony beyond the supervision already done; the audit trail
+  shows all 3 proofs.
+- E4 (rollback): single miss re-holds the kind — any post-flip
+  wrong-send (wrong selection or stray keys), however observed,
+  immediately re-holds that kind and wipes its proof count; re-flip
+  needs 3 fresh observations. Source: user selected option 1,
+  2026-10-07. Rationale: fail-closed and symmetric with the bar.
+- E5 (applicability): fleet-wide — proof on any agy pane flips the
+  kind on all agy panes. Source: user selected option 1, 2026-10-07.
+  Rationale: the key binding is a property of the agy binary,
+  identical on every pane.
+- E6 (grill exclusion): numbered-plain stays coordinator-gated on
+  agy; the E-rules never flip it. Source: user selected option 1,
+  2026-10-07. Rationale: the E-rules prove the technical question
+  (keys work); the grill hold answers the governance question
+  (interviews need sign-off). Proof cannot lift a governance gate.
+
+### Open questions (unresolved)
+
+None. All interview questions resolved and the scope accepted.
+
+### Scope contract (ACCEPTED)
+
+- IN: this record section only (agy exit criteria, now Final).
+- OUT: the flip mechanism (code), tests, daemon restarts, any
+  implementation. Accepting this record never approves those stages;
+  each returns for its own go-ahead.
+- Done means: every E-question settled below, section marked Final,
+  user acceptance quoted verbatim with channel and time.
+- "Go" / "do it all" authorize only the IN boundary. No owning issue
+  exists in this workflow, so this record is the lane-coordination
+  evidence.
+
+Acceptance (quoted verbatim, chat, 2026-10-07T05:55:03Z): "ACCEPT".
+Accepted as written. Per the grill scope contract, later work outside
+the IN boundary (the flip mechanism, tests, restarts) needs explicit
+owner approval or its own follow-up interview; "go" authorizes only
+this boundary.

+# Retention Piece 2 — Job Definition Archival & Pruning
+
+Owner: operator-646
+Branch: `dev/operator-646/retention-rotations-p1`
+Date: 2026-10-07
+
+Extends the fleet retention framework from Piece 1 ([RETENTION-ROTATIONS-P1.md](file:///home/super/Projects/NetVM/docs/RETENTION-ROTATIONS-P1.md)) to prune and archive retired manual job definitions from `jobs/` into `jobs/archive/`.
+
+## Problem
+
+The root `jobs/` directory accumulated over 235 job definition files, primarily composed of retired `auto-work-*` exploratory batches and one-off test pipelines. Every invocation of `job-scheduler.py` (`glob.glob("jobs/*.json")`) and CLI tools was parsing all 235 files, causing unnecessary filesystem overhead and clutter.
+
+## Policy Implemented
+
+| Domain | Eligibility Criteria | Action | Target Layout |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `jobs/*.json` | `schedule == "manual"` or empty, AND not protected | `git mv` archive | `jobs/archive/<name>.json` (plain JSON, preserves history) |
+
+### Dynamic Safety Guardrails
+
+A job is **never** archived automatically if any of the following hold:
+1. **Systemd User Units**: Registered as an `ExecStart` target in `~/.config/systemd/user/job-*.service` (e.g. `work-finder`, `heartbeat`, `muse-auditor`, `opm-swarm-harvest`, `autonomy-pulse-*`).
+2. **Active Pipelines**: Associated with a running, dispatched, or pending run in `pipelines.json` (e.g. `ops-audit-*`, `pipe-demo-*`).
+3. **Chained Dependencies**: Linked via `chain_next`, `on_success`, or `on_failure` from any active protected job.
+4. **Core Fleet Baseline**: Hardcoded protective baseline: `heartbeat`, `refine-system`, `canary-test`.
+
+## Tooling & Architecture
+
+- `bin/retention-archive-jobs.py`: Standalone CLI driver supporting `scan`, `archive`, `unarchive`, and `list` with `--dry-run`, `--force`, and `--json`.
+- `bin/retention-run-rotations.sh`: Hourly rotation driver now runs `retention-archive-jobs.py scan` as the 4th phase of the retention pipeline.
+- `bin/box-ctl.py`:
+  - `job-list`: Excludes archived jobs by default; includes them when passed `--archived` / `-a`.
+  - `job-archive <name>`: Archives a job via `retention-archive-jobs.py`.
+  - `job-unarchive <name>`: Restores an archived job to active `jobs/`.
+- `bin/super-cli.py`: Exposes `box job archive <name>`, `box job unarchive <name>`, and `box job list --archived`.
+- `bin/job-dispatch.py`: Guards against direct dispatch of archived jobs; fails fast with an explicit unarchive prompt.
+
+## Operations & Verification
+
+Run on-demand scan:
+```bash
+bin/retention-archive-jobs.py scan [--dry-run]
+```
+
+Manual archive / unarchive:
+```bash
+box job archive <name>
+box job unarchive <name>
+```
+
+List archived jobs:
+```bash
+box job list --archived
+```
+
+Execute full retention cycle:
+```bash
+bin/retention-run-rotations.sh
+```
+
+## First Run Results (2026-10-07)
+
+- Total jobs scanned: 235
+- Dynamically protected jobs: 13
+- Eligible retired jobs identified: 17
+- Jobs archived to `jobs/archive/`:
+  `646-opm-watch`, `646-pip-sync`, `646-sidechat-task`, `auto-work-queue-f02`, `auto-work-queue-f06`, `auto-work-queue-f10`, `auto-work-queue-f14`, `auto-work-queue-f18`, `auto-work-xop-e02`, `auto-work-xop-e06`, `auto-work-xop-e10`, `auto-work-xop-e14`, `auto-work-xop-e18`, `mainloop-p1-pilot`, `mainloop-p2-noswitcher`, `mainloop-p3-bridge`, `mainloop-p4-steady`.
+- Committed in git as: `fff5556` (`chore(retention): archive retired jobs [...]`).
+- Active jobs remaining: 218.
+- Unit tests: 10 tests in `tests/test_retention_archive_jobs.py` (all green).

+# Supervision Scope Contract
+
+Status: **Draft** — decisions below are unsettled until marked otherwise.
+Only explicit user acceptance moves this document (or any decision) to Final.
+
+## Goal
+
+Every fleet node stays alive and truthfully reported: browsers supervised,
+relays supervised, dead nodes recovered or loudly paged, and `box` status
+honest from any shell (including PID/net-blind sandboxed shells).
+
+## Non-goals (proposed)
+
+- Agent lifecycle/onboarding stages (provision, auth, OTP, invite redeem).
+- Work completion (job dispatch, followups, harvester, completion auditor).
+- Loop-health scoring and drive repair.
+
+## Supervisors (observed, all installed 2026-10-06)
+
+| Supervisor | Cadence | Coverage | Decides |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| chromebox-watchdog@\<node\>.timer ×6 | 2 min | all registry nodes (def/dev timers installed 18:32Z) | browser+egress per node; tunnel restart, chrome relaunch |
+| cdp-relay-watchdog.timer | 5 min | registry-driven (`watched_nodes()`) | relay veth IP + connectivity; relay restart |
+| agent-health.timer (user) | 5 min | registry-driven | API check per node; kill+restart with 2-strike rule + circuit breaker (3 futile → open 30 min) |
+| ensure-node-supervision.sh | on node-up / `--all` | new + drifted nodes | NODES.md row + chromebox timer install |
+| host_evidence fallback | on `box` read | registry (relay) + installed timers (browser) | effective status when live probes are blind |
+
+## Decisions
+
+(D1..D7 below — all UNRESOLVED unless marked.)
+
+### D1. Contract boundary: which supervisors are in scope — SETTLED (recommended accepted)
+
+IN: chromebox-watchdog ×6, cdp-relay-watchdog, agent-health + circuit
+breaker, ensure-node-supervision feed, host_evidence fallback.
+OUT: onboarding pipeline lifecycle, completion auditor, loop-health
+(each keeps its own owner and interviews separately).
+
+### D2. Kill-path precedence (chromebox-watchdog vs agent-health) — SETTLED (recommended accepted)
+
+Policy: each supervisor owns its signal — chromebox-watchdog owns
+CDP/egress/process failure, agent-health owns API-layer failure.
+Browser restart stays the shared actuator, and both keep their <2-min
+fresh-browser guards. No code change; this paragraph is the guard
+against future edits dropping either side.
+
+### D3. Egress-down fall-through (relaunch chrome after failed tunnel restart?) — SETTLED (recommended accepted)
+
+Policy: stop after a failed tunnel restart. Log the egress failure
+loudly and page it as a tunnel fault, never as a browser fault; skip
+the chrome relaunch. The next 2-min run retries the tunnel. (Requires
+a chromebox-watchdog.sh change — implementation needs a separate
+explicit request.)
+
+### D4. Circuit-breaker thresholds (3 futile / 30 min cooldown) — SETTLED (recommended accepted)
+
+Keep 3 strikes / 1800s cooldown as initial values, with a review
+trigger: revisit if one node trips the circuit more than twice in a
+week (threshold too touchy) or a stuck node sits out a full cooldown
+under operator eyes (cooldown too long).
+
+### D5. Coverage source of truth — SETTLED (recommended accepted)
+
+Registry-only: every active NODES.md row is supervised, period. The
+ensure script guarantees the timer follows the row, and a missing
+timer degrades to an honest `unknown` (no journal runs) rather than a
+wrong verdict. No second inventory.
+
+### D6. Concurrent-edit protocol for shared supervision files — SETTLED (recommended accepted)
+
+Protocol: claim-before-edit (announce shared-file claims in chat),
+anchored-edits-only on shared files (never full-file rewrites, so
+concurrent work interleaves), re-read before staging, and prompt
+mine-only commits so landed work survives the next clobber.
+
+### D7. Done means — UNRESOLVED
+
+Proposed checklist: timers on all 6 firing silent; relay/agent-health
+loops registry-driven with tests; ensure hook live; this doc Final.
+
+## Risks
+
+- Egress-down pages read as browser failures (D3).
+- Uncommitted supervisor work can be clobbered by a concurrent editor (D6).
+- c9143a5 contains unattributed peer hunks (host_evidence `_covered_nodes`,
+  fleet-status test updates) — needs an amend-or-leave decision.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `box fleet status` truthful from blind shells (live-verified 6/6 ACTIVE).
+- Focused suites green (supervision, fleet, agent-health, watchdog coverage).
+- Timer firing proven via journal, not config presence.
+
+## Unresolved items
+
+D7 unresolved. D1–D6 settled.
