fix(wasm): resolve WABT runtime cleanup after a successful retry

WabtArtifactProvider retained a failed rea-wabt-* runtime root in its
ArtifactResourceScope but returned an unbound ProviderCleanupError. A
later successful close() released the root without updating that error,
so CLI/MCP output kept reporting cleanup_incomplete and the removed root
as a live resource. A primary failure such as WABT rejecting the module
was also flattened into the cleanup error's previous_error diagnostic.

Retain the runtime root through an AnalysisCleanupLease and bind the
returned cleanup error to it with AnalysisCleanupLeaseGroup. Compose a
primary failure with analysisErrorWithCleanupFailure and
bindCleanupDependencies so the typed primary (for example
invalid_request or cancelled) becomes the resolved error once the lease
confirms release. Retry errors from admission and close() now bind to the
same exact leases through bindArtifactFileCleanup.

Fixes #4787

+---
+
+# REA analysis optimization
+
+Find a concrete source of unnecessary work, change it at its owner, and verify
+equivalent completed investigations. A useful outcome can also be a measured
+decision to leave an implementation alone.
+
+Follow the checkout's [performance priorities](../../../AGENTS.md#performance),
+[tool design](../../../docs/tool-design.md), and
+[testing guide](../../../docs/testing.md). This skill supplies an optimization
+workflow, not additional permission to execute targets, publish, or merge.
+Use the current contracts, provider prerequisites, and user authorization.
+
+Read [the Kuna case study](references/kuna-case-study.md) when selecting a
+reuse strategy or interpreting a benchmark. Its pinned observations illustrate
+tradeoffs; they are not current-provider guarantees or universal speedups.
+
+## Pin the question and the correctness oracle
+
+Describe the analyst's completed task, including the facts and relationships
+needed to answer it, requested detail, source access, and meaningful unknowns.
+Choose a representative real artifact and a small or empty case. Record the
+baseline revision, target digest, engine identity, options, host, and entrypoint.
+Use a separate checkout for changes without disturbing other work.
+
+Establish an oracle independent of the changed implementation: source-built
+fixture expectations, independently mapped file bytes, or a native producer
+paired with checks of its interpretation. Comparing two wrappers around the
+same faulty decoder does not establish correctness. Preserve address widths,
+same-address alternatives, unresolved endpoints, coverage, and source linkage.
+An empty result proves absence only within the actually examined scope.
+
+## Locate the earliest unnecessary work
+
+Trace one public CLI or MCP task through shared application code to its producer.
+Measure relevant phases: admission and identity checks, native analysis,
+decoding, lookup, projection, serialization, Evidence retention, and cleanup.
+Include catalog discovery and extra calls when they affect the completed task.
+
+Use the evidence to choose the smallest structural correction:
+
+| Observed cost                     | Candidate correction                                       | Condition to establish                                                               |
+| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Repeated scans of validated facts | Reuse existing order or lookup structure                   | The owner establishes ordering and identity; every matching alternative survives     |
+| Repeated equivalent engine work   | Share a validated result or in-flight producer             | Inputs, freshness, lifetime, and per-caller outcomes remain explicit                 |
+| Full reports for selected facts   | Push selection or projection to the earliest capable owner | Required facts and evidence remain reachable; examined coverage is reported          |
+| Large temporary transport buffers | Decode incrementally or use bounded source reads           | Validate the whole admitted document; retained facts and copies still consume memory |
+| Many repeated homogeneous reads   | Share admission, decoding, or batch work                   | Preserve item identity, order where required, and individual failures                |
+
+Do not introduce an index, generic cache, batch endpoint, or orchestration layer
+without identifying the work it removes and its maintenance/resource cost.
+Projection after materializing a full report may reduce output while leaving
+analysis time and peak memory unchanged. Fix missing or incorrect facts before
+benchmarking an alternative composition against a better-covered workflow.
+
+## Keep one interpretation and a defined reuse lifetime
+
+Let the producer boundary validate and normalize facts once. Consumers query
+that representation through the shared CLI/MCP implementation; adapters should
+not rebuild relationships or independently reinterpret raw reports. Keep lookup
+identity separate from display formatting. Reuse contracts when their intent
+matches, honoring requested detail and complete Evidence access.
+
+For every cache or shared producer, state its key, owner, invalidation, retained
+size, and lifetime. Account for result-affecting target bytes, engine contents,
+analysis options, architecture/load mapping, and parser/schema versions where
+they affect reuse. Validate live state before calling a cached observation
+current. Cache a refusal only when it is deterministic for that validated key;
+malformed, partial, transient, or cancelled attempts need explicit retry policy.
+
+One cancelled waiter must not invalidate a successful peer. Preserve producer
+failure context and each caller's cancellation reason. Retain ownership and
+capacity charges until shared work and cleanup settle; preserve completed
+observations when cleanup fails. Exercise invalidation, concurrent consumers,
+last-waiter cancellation, close, and cleanup retry when those paths change.
+
+Bound the process family and retained state, not just a parent heap or worker
+count. Account for decoding and serialization expansion before allocation.
+Choose CPU, memory, concurrency, and disk limits from the host and workload;
+stop before OOM and verify owned cleanup. A guard-stopped task is incomplete.
+Do not replace a transport buffer cap with an unbounded retained inventory or
+hide partial results behind a success status.
+
+## Compare completed tasks and limit the claim
+
+Run the affected real public workflow before and after with equivalent inputs,
+results, coverage, and Evidence semantics. Include small inputs so setup costs
+and regressions are visible. Distinguish fresh sessions, warm runtime caches,
+and OS file caches. Alternate or repeat runs when variance affects the decision.
+Choose meaningful boundary regressions for cases the actual engine cannot
+reliably reproduce; a fake engine does not qualify a real provider.
+
+Report task outcome, relevant phase timings, total elapsed and CPU time, peak
+process-family memory and its accounting method, resource stops, and cleanup.
+Check the payload exit status as well as the profiler's. Keep failed attempts
+and identify unmeasured costs; a passing retry does not explain a failure.
+
+For token claims, count schemas/discovery, arguments, replies, retries, and
+continuations needed to finish the task. Label tokenizer estimates separately
+from actual model usage and record the client/catalog behavior. Smaller JSON
+alone establishes neither fewer model tokens nor better investigation quality.
+Do not claim a complex-software advantage without completed representative
+investigations and comparable correctness/coverage.
+
+Finish with the bottleneck, owning change, preserved semantics, executed
+checks, before/after measurements, and remaining limits. Keep any integration
+record current with its tested revision and distinguish merged production work
+from experiment-only code. Stop when the demonstrated bottleneck is resolved
+or further benefit remains speculative.

+# Kuna: reuse before adding machinery
+
+Read this reference for concrete examples of the skill's decisions. The records
+below concern static Linux analysis with caller-supplied Kuna. They do not
+establish parity with another provider or a general advantage for Code Mode,
+atomic tools, or any particular orchestration design.
+
+## Exact-address lookup: a measured, narrow improvement
+
+[PR #4695](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4695) reused the validated string
+inventory's numeric address order. Previously, each `list_strings(address)`
+filtered all cached facts. The owner now performs a binary lower-bound lookup
+and returns every encoding at that address: O(log n + matches), without a
+second retained lookup index.
+
+The owning implementation is
+[`KunaStringInventory.ts`](../../../../src/kuna/KunaStringInventory.ts), consumed
+by [`KunaStringQueries.ts`](../../../../src/kuna/KunaStringQueries.ts). Inspect
+their current versions before adapting the example. Numeric u64 addresses,
+same-address encodings, duplicate rejection, source digests, caller selection,
+and the existing session lifetime were part of the contract. Full listings and
+literal/regex searches kept their semantics. An attempted removal of the
+duplicate-detection set was dropped: no stable memory benefit was established,
+and it delayed malformed-input rejection.
+
+### Recorded workload and results
+
+The benchmark used unmodified Kuna 1.833 and LLVM 16 on Linux x86-64, with
+602,544 string facts. Baseline was `be0b2d138`; the final feature was
+`5f564962da0e1b17f00a68a74a312539f0209a01`, subsequently integrated in
+`c6b62754b095a134d6d67877508fa34311a2eda2`. These are historical observations,
+not a benchmark of every subsequent main revision.
+
+The same production stdio MCP task discovered the catalog, opened the binary,
+made one cold selected read and 28 warm exact reads, checked retained Evidence,
+and closed the session. Five selected addresses and two absent selectors were
+read four times. A native filtered scan selected the strings; an independent
+ELF load-header mapping checked the source bytes and terminators. Returned
+facts, source linkage, target digests, and cleanup were checked.
+
+Three alternating fresh sessions per implementation used one CPU, a 4 GiB
+process-family hard limit, a 3 GiB early stop, and no swap. OS file caches were
+warm. Whole-harness costs include the independent native oracle, hashing,
+catalog/client work, and correctness checks.
+
+| Median                                   |     Before |      After |
+| ---------------------------------------- | ---------: | ---------: |
+| 28 warm exact MCP reads                  |   495.2 ms |    90.8 ms |
+| Cold selected MCP read                   |    11.30 s |    11.01 s |
+| Whole harness elapsed                    |    28.24 s |    27.43 s |
+| Whole process-family CPU                 |    27.71 s |    26.89 s |
+| Kernel family peak, including file cache | 2237.6 MiB | 2240.6 MiB |
+
+Warm totals ranged from 491.7–544.3 ms before to 84.8–99.5 ms after: about
+5.5 times faster at this phase. Cold/whole-task timing and memory overlapped;
+no stable improvement in those costs was established. One small SQLite pair
+(7,985 facts) measured 20 warm reads at 88.6 → 80.5 ms and the whole harness at
+13.68 → 13.94 s. The large-inventory lookup benefit does not generalize to a
+whole-task speedup on small inputs.
+
+Catalog hashes, call counts, and normalized facts were unchanged. A
+`cl100k_base` estimate over one pass of raw catalog JSON, arguments, and replies
+was about 846,000 tokens in both lanes, with about 802,562 from the catalog.
+This was transport serialization, not rendered model context or actual usage;
+client discovery, prompts, replay, and protocol framing were unmeasured.
+**No token reduction or improved agent investigation outcome was established.**
+
+Pinned target SHA-256:
+`f62d254b7f2bf42df8c8b07d46ee3bb4c2cafeca436b2e6bc6ccbe4581f58f40`.

+`d858918b0766435cd96b999a77f2d5a31a0cc4f07256421c883b5b9dc4dd58e4`.
+All six normalized-result sequence digests were
+`4d2f90269da8568984090b20274163c4a7c2a0538aab63530bd2fe44840a0bba`.
+Selected byte agreement does not prove native discovery completeness; missing
+strings and relationships can remain unknown.
+
+## Other transferable changes and their limits
+
+- [Cached string inventory and search, #4095](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4095):
+  share validated facts across queries in a defined session. Audit key inputs
+  and lifetime before extending reuse across targets or engine revisions.
+- [Shared single-function work, #4045](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4045)
+  and [repeat-request reuse, #4169](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4169):
+  avoid duplicate native work while retaining per-caller cancellation and
+  cleanup ownership. A query count alone cannot reveal duplicate subprocesses.
+- [Streamed strings, #4318](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4318)
+  and [streamed call graph, #4329](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4329):
+  remove fixed aggregate transport-buffer failures through incremental parsing.
+  Streaming transport does not bound every retained object or final reply.
+  These links establish changes; no numerical speedup is asserted here.
+
+Typed reference facts, native string-query projection, and shared native byte
+reads remained experimental at the 2026-10-17 checkpoint
+`65f2f9a22bc892f61d2b00f9a4611124f57d4bff` on
+`experiment/atomic-codemode-20261016`. Some experiments used a patched native
+engine. Check current integration and bring-your-own engine capabilities before
+proposing them; a working experiment is not a stock-provider guarantee.
+
+## Applying the reasoning elsewhere
+
+For another provider or format, inspect its actual representation and native
+capabilities before borrowing the implementation. Existing numeric ordering
+may support range reads; an on-disk native query may avoid materializing an
+inventory; an immutable parse may support several views. Measure the relevant
+alternative rather than requiring every provider to use Kuna's cached array.
+
+For live observations, immutable artifact caching rules are insufficient:
+validate the process/session identity and freshness required by the caller.
+For compact replies, preserve access to source Evidence and report examined
+coverage; projection must not silently turn an unresolved edge into no edge.
+For batching, test mixed successes and failures and measure the entire task,
+including discovery, extra calls, native work, and serialization.

 Keep proof of ownership separate from validity, editability, and readiness. Malformed owned data may still be safely removable. Unresolved identity or applicability must remain unknown rather than be treated as absent, foreign, or aligned.
 
+For lifecycle changes, follow [ownership and completion invariants](docs/tool-design.md#own-the-lifecycle) and select the applicable [lifecycle regressions](docs/testing.md#lifecycle-regressions). Include late handshakes, cancellation during final cleanup, mixed child outcomes, and cleanup retry where those stages exist; active-execution cancellation alone does not cover finalization.

 Assess brittleness in touched code during implementation, debugging, review, and maintenance. Fix the producing representation or ownership rule before adding downstream repairs. Normalize once at the owning boundary using format-aware parsers. Remove superseded representations, aliases, wrappers, and redundant tests after verifying affected consumers. Introduce abstractions only when they remove observed complexity.
 
 When fixing a bug, inspect the producing boundary and affected consumers for duplicated interpretation or unclear ownership. Complete any directly related refactor in the same change and remove superseded code. Passing regression tests alone does not establish that the brittleness is resolved. If related cleanup remains, explain what remains and why.

 # Changelog
 
+## [6.5.0](https://github.com/morluto/rea/compare/rea-agents-6.4.0...rea-agents-6.5.0) (2026-10-13)
+
+Provider prerequisites and recorded verification scope are listed in [the testing guide](docs/testing.md).
+
+### Highlights
+
+- Analyze selected JavaScript files and recover cross-bundle relationships without expanding the selected source scope.
+- Read compact summaries and page retained Evidence across binary, managed, Android, Dart, WASM and network workflows.
+- Inspect SQLite snapshots, packet and signal recordings, WebAssembly, Rust dependency metadata and Electron fuses offline.
+- Keep completed Evidence and partial observations available when analysis or cleanup fails.
+
+### Changes
+
+- **JavaScript source selection:** analyze exact application paths without expanding imports into the selected scope. Unselected files retain identity and explicit unknown coverage; summary delivery remains separate from source selection. ([#1944](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1944), [issue morluto/rea#1848](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1848)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Code-split recovery:** recover related bundles from multiple selected inputs, retaining per-file provenance and downstream cross-chunk imports. Recorded CLI/MCP coverage is Linux x64 with Wakaru 1.14.0 and source-owned esbuild/webpack fixtures; other hosts, releases and arbitrary application equivalence remain unverified. ([#1686](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1686), [issue morluto/rea#1605](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1605)). Thanks @JingHao-Leon, @pionxzh.
+- **Package imports:** resolve exact package import aliases using the selected loader and package ancestry, rather than guessing sibling files. ([#1862](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1862), [issue morluto/rea#1838](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1838)). Thanks @AWUQAQ, @mvanhorn.
+- **Retained analysis views:** opt into compact inventory/WASM, managed metadata, Android manifest, Dart AOT, Mach-O and EVM summaries, then page retained Evidence without rerunning analysis. Summary delivery preserves the complete recorded result and its original coverage. ([#2122](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2122), [#2193](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2193), [#2413](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2413), [#2438](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2438), [#2455](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2455), [#2634](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2634), [#2308](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2308), [9a18251](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/9a18251426f891e6a24856b715ef8002ab8b9610)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Managed assemblies:** Select declaring types when inspecting members, decode inspected `ldstr` literals with independent coverage, and page retained member summaries. Call and field targets expose `target_declaring_type` and `field_declaring_type`, including supported generic method targets; unresolved metadata remains unknown. ([#1706](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1706), [#2125](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2125), [issue morluto/rea#2121](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2121), [#2162](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2162), [issue morluto/rea#2158](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2158), [#3061](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/3061), [issue morluto/rea#3010](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/3010), [#2163](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2163), [issue morluto/rea#2160](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2160)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0, @Nelglor, @skoodster.
+- **Packet captures:** inspect saved packets with bounded TShark output, compact capture summaries and retained pages; discover installed protocol/field definitions. Recorded real-engine coverage uses Linux and Wireshark 4.6.6; native Windows/macOS and Bun behavior remain unverified. ([#2318](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2318), [#2340](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2340), [#2496](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2496)). Thanks @3QL, @N0zoM1z0, @Olorinm.
+- **Recorded signals:** decode existing recordings and discover installed decoders/options through caller-supplied sigrok-cli 0.7.2. This is Linux-only and requires util-linux `prlimit`; it acquires no hardware samples. ([#2339](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2339), [#2487](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2487)). Thanks @N0zoM1z0, @Olorinm.
+- **Web captures:** derive an inferred method/origin/path-template API surface from retained HAR data including observed query-parameter names while retaining unknowns; query values, headers and bodies remain excluded. ([#1891](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1891), [#2982](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2982), [issue morluto/rea#2913](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2913)). Thanks @mvanhorn, @wunianze666-netizen, @zhangguiping-xydt.
+- **QUIC captures:** inspect retained aioquic 1.5.0 JSON qlog 0.3 objects and page traces/streams/observations. Other qlog layouts remain unsupported; overlap and loss declarations do not prove retransmission or network loss. ([#2277](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2277)). Thanks @LuisTaffelli, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Fiddler captures:** inspect native SAZ archives with retained HTTP provenance and bounded decoding. Recorded producer coverage is the pinned public encoding corpus; current Fiddler Everywhere variants and Bun-native execution remain unverified. ([#2409](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2409)). Thanks @N0zoM1z0, @zahhak.
+- **SQLite snapshots:** inspect an explicitly selected offline database with table/column selection and bounded Evidence. This operation requires Node 24.x >=24.15 or 26+ with `DatabaseSync.limits`; supported Node 22 and earlier 24 runtimes cannot use it. A live database/WAL copy does not establish an atomic snapshot. ([#2271](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2271)). Thanks @N0zoM1z0, @Y0UW1SH.
+- **WASM artifacts:** Inspect local modules with bring-your-own WABT 1.0.42 without executing them. Compare imports/exports from two complete core-module inspection Evidence records without requiring an active WABT installation; unsupported signatures and duplicate identities remain unknown, and comparisons do not establish runtime compatibility. Recorded real-tool inspection coverage is macOS arm64. ([#1533](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1533), [issue morluto/rea#884](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/884), [#2464](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2464), [issue morluto/rea#2356](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2356)). Thanks @matbrgz, @N0zoM1z0, @thangldw.
+- **Go binaries:** inspect embedded build metadata, including file-backed unmapped Mach-O debug segments. ([#1363](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1363), [7fb097d](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7fb097d72c9931dd5dfae481ad2b9d3bb6029f15)). Thanks @Y0UW1SH.
+- **Flutter APKs:** identify snapshot/engine builds and inspect AOT structure without an external engine. Recorded real APK coverage uses the documented Flutter Gallery fixture; macOS/Windows and complete pool semantics remain unverified, and pool coverage stays partial. ([#1582](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1582)). Thanks @3QL.
+- **HarmonyOS packages:** inventory HAP/HSP/App Pack structures without executing code. The recorded real workflow covers one pinned HAP through repository-built CLI/MCP; installed-package and real HSP/App Pack coverage remain unverified. ([#1447](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1447)). Thanks @BaaRai.
+- **Ghidra raw inputs and references:** compatible Linux/macOS Ghidra profiles accept caller-selected raw architecture/entry information and expose typed incoming references at exact addresses. Windows Ghidra P0 admits the raw NMOS 6502 profile described below; other raw targets and the incoming-reference facet remain outside Windows P0. ([#1868](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1868), [issue morluto/rea#1836](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1836), [#1715](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1715), [issue morluto/rea#1245](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1245)). Thanks @bugstan, @casesolved-co-uk, @mvanhorn, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Ghidra MIPS:** Add bounded MIPS32r2/o32 relocatable objects, soft-float integer-register storage, admitted MIPS16 shared ELF, and a narrowly admitted recordless legacy MIPS32 executable profile. The latter pins an endian-matched 32-bit language and records inferred o32 as an analysis assumption. Admission follows each documented ABI/flag/relocation boundary. ([#1949](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1949), [issue morluto/rea#1937](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1937), [#1950](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1950), [issue morluto/rea#1938](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1938), [#1991](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1991), [issue morluto/rea#1851](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1851), [#1898](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1898), [issue morluto/rea#1620](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1620)). Thanks @AurelioB, @BaaRai, @bqw371, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Ghidra RISC-V:** admit little-endian RV32/RV64 `ET_EXEC` ELF declaring the supported double-float ABI. Relocatable/shared, big-endian and other ABI profiles remain refused; see [the profile and recorded lane](docs/ghidra-riscv.md). ([#2151](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2151)). Thanks @NIU-123370.
+- **PSP static ELF profile:** the Ghidra profile is Linux x64, bounded little-endian ELF32 `ET_EXEC` with the documented PSP/ABI declarations and a compatible caller-installed Allegrex extension. PRX, shared/relocatable images, PBP/ISO/CSO and runtime emulation are outside scope. Historical extension experiments are separate from public-provider verification; real public Ghidra PSP coverage remains unverified. ([#1599](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1599)). Thanks @jaelliot.
+- **Ghidra analysis settings:** apply validated analyzer overrides before analysis while retaining the selected analysis profile. ([#1913](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1913)). Thanks @akushonkamen, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Attached native IDA MCP:** add an optional native bridge alongside existing legacy/headless profiles. Recorded native runs use Linux IDA Free 9.4 with a navigation correction and Windows IDA Pro 9.3 with a loopback-listener change; stock native switching, native macOS and Windows IDA Free remain unverified. Attached databases remain read-only and are never saved or closed. ([#1544](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1544)). Thanks @imissapixel, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Frida instrumentation:** add explicit local/remote target selection, caller-supplied scripts and retained messages, with script-read/input diagnostics and bounded message eviction. Recorded real coverage is the Linux local Node marker workflow; macOS, Windows and remote devices/servers remain unverified. Instrumentation executes foreign code and is destructive, not read-only. ([#1359](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1359), [#2211](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2211), [issue morluto/rea#2209](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2209), [#2217](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2217), [issue morluto/rea#2213](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2213), [#2628](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2628)). Thanks @dandgabr, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Client setup:** register Qoder, Trae, ZCode, DeepSeek Harness, Kimi Code, Factory Droid and WorkBuddy through the existing scoped setup flow. DeepSeek is included from 6.5.0; the historical npm 6.4 check did not cover it. Live Trae and DeepSeek API integration remain unverified. ([#1564](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1564), [#1572](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1572), [#1573](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1573), [#1929](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1929), [issue morluto/rea#1839](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1839), [#2744](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2744), [#2309](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2309), [#3041](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/3041), [issue morluto/rea#3040](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/3040)). Thanks @0xRafie, @BaaRai, @cainiao1992, @IvenKooLab, @whoishaha, @ysntony.
+- **Website:** Add maintained language editions, persistent/system-aware themes, keyboard styling and nested Evidence indentation, plus the reverse-engineering models essay. A simpler home page and beginner journey connect platform prerequisites, client/provider setup and a supplied first investigation. ([#1779](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1779), [issue morluto/rea#1022](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1022), [#1699](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1699), [#1714](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1714), [#1894](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1894), [#2250](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2250), [#2432](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2432), [#2732](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2732), [#3274](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/3274)). Thanks @CassieFox23, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.
+
+- **Rust dependency metadata:** Inspect embedded cargo-auditable package/dependency records in ELF, PE and thin Mach-O without executing the file. Missing metadata and inferred compiler hashes retain explicit limitations; universal Mach-O requires a selected thin slice. ([#2456](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2456)). Thanks @mvanhorn.
+- **Electron fuses:** Read packaged fuse bytes and per-slice runtime implications without launching or modifying the app. Missing, truncated and unknown wires remain explicit; fuse observations do not prove other Inspector-enablement paths. ([#2399](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2399)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @mvanhorn, @N0zoM1z0.
+- **Ghidra PowerPC:** Admit bounded ELF32 big-endian `ET_EXEC` PowerPC with an explicit language profile on supported Linux/macOS hosts. PPC64, DOL and other variants remain outside this lane; see [the profile and verification prerequisites](docs/ghidra-ppc.md). ([#1747](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1747)). Thanks @arielfikru.
+
+- **Reference-source summaries:** Use CLI `import-reference-source --detail summary` for compact manifest, count, state and path-outline output. The complete graph remains available and is still the default; hidden outline entries retain separate coverage counts. ([#2768](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2768), [issue morluto/rea#2442](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2442)). Thanks @matbrgz, @To3akaRin.
+
+- **Recorded AArch64 crashes:** Decode 34 ABI register values per thread from supported Linux ELF64 little-endian core notes using the documented caller-provided Python dependencies. These are recorded facts, not proof of current process or library identity. ([#2505](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2505), [issue morluto/rea#2353](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2353)). Thanks @matbrgz, @NIU-123370.
+
+- **Ghidra byte search:** Search initialized analyzed memory using wildcards, bit masks, address bounds and paged results. Unloaded, overlay and uninitialized blocks retain skipped coverage; this is not a raw-file search. ([#2341](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2341)). Thanks @mvanhorn.
+
+- **Raw NMOS 6502 images:** Analyze explicitly selected headerless images with Ghidra, including Windows P0, using a caller-selected entry and source mapping within the 16-bit address space. Cartridge parsing, reset-vector inference and 65C02/65816 are outside this profile. ([#2079](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2079)). Thanks @Zhong-fan.
+
+- **Swift String observations:** Ghidra function dossiers derive supported AArch64 Swift String literals from constant-register pairs at recognized use sites, retaining instruction/register provenance and explicit omissions. This is a bounded derivation, not a complete string inventory. ([#2049](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2049), [issue morluto/rea#2030](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2030)). Thanks @thefolahan.
+
+- **Headless IDA procedure lookup:** Resolve addresses to canonical containing-procedure entries and identify the session’s admitted program document in the modern headless profile. Incomplete surveys remain errors; attached profiles do not advertise this containment capability. ([#2374](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2374), [issue morluto/rea#2335](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2335)). Thanks @nikolay-dementiev.
+
+- **Passive browser attachment:** Six existing passive browser tools accept an explicit-port loopback browser WebSocket endpoint when HTTP target discovery is unavailable. Existing consent and target/origin checks remain required; this does not launch a browser or enable runtime instrumentation. ([#2346](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2346)). Thanks @all-black-493.
+
+- **Android DEX references:** Retain exact method descriptors and individual direct-invoke observations with source method, DEX entry, opcode and code-unit offset. These are static references; unavailable instruction facts remain separate from method-level usage totals. ([#2439](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2439)). Thanks @LcokHcak.
+
+- **Offline EVM metadata:** Retain bounded, lossless facts from plausible terminal Solidity CBOR root-map candidates. Candidates do not prove Solidity origin or source/compiler identity, and linked metadata is not fetched. ([#2790](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2790)). Thanks @matbrgz.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **JavaScript loader and export identity:** Respect import/require conditions and unavailable package metadata, keep export links separate from writes, and resolve default identifier exports to the value captured at the export statement. ([7e5cffa](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7e5cffa2ae9dfc9afaeca0715110d4dd41c0dcdd), [322506d](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/322506d0c0d39d3cd1e2e1c285c2cc23cfa73ee7), [81f7638](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/81f763820319a762f003cf95651ed14ce9326a4c), [dae1e55](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/dae1e55381f0d6cfee7f2082d5d27b938e55704c)). Thanks @paoValle, @VarunGore36, @xu91102.
+- **JavaScript traces:** Retain nested bridge calls and surviving early-return predicates. Honor node-ID match options, match route seeds against source values, and keep ambiguous runtime candidates unknown. ([0351328](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/0351328e54ce70ea3f2814482e76b132774aff48), [5031099](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/503109995f9dcf8a955585d39a344fc846d2f59e), [44c9d29](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/44c9d2924d5b95d7a86595e8d7b7cf4fd4f0f6ac), [5e79d46](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/5e79d468e5864204cbe79a7ca2898541cee5e012)). Thanks @jpdefo.
+- **Browser comparison coverage:** Compare only known redirect response fields and retain network-selection recovery guidance alongside independent event changes. Missing response facts do not prove equality or a change. ([2b60e09](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/2b60e097f281f7708c69f1f7ba9263694547bcc0)).
+- **Evidence comparison and ledger input:** Report display-only bundle differences as unchanged while retaining digests, and classify noncanonical bundle records as invalid caller input. ([030c477](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/030c47732833c9cedcc31db1309eb3a1ca2c62e8), [3a34ad3](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/3a34ad37bdb7b8debba0f6515ba85b80141f2716)).
+- **Capture and admission cleanup:** Keep deleted-file observations and original bytes when a parent becomes a file, preserve unrelated I/O failures during cancellation, and require explicit pre-launch proof before releasing an unknown LLDB target owner. LLDB failure controls used simulated boundaries. ([e67c364](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/e67c3642c8920a2a9c0e231ee2f16f50b245df31), [2daeff4](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/2daeff4b243e1cd137c591ca394e18a1c05c8bbc), [45b6a7f](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/45b6a7fe8f51a89951aaa823ffa627f6f5453a33)). Thanks @SII-YDD, @xu91102.
+- **Client configuration:** Validate MCP output-schema profiles before setup writes, ignore untrusted Gemini workspace settings before parsing them, and identify installed skills independently of marker-only client roots. ([0930e94](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/0930e94e077ab7fb4d695f62785919a8a25c2e21), [aade9bb](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/aade9bbcb79aa8504ab6921b25f8ab082aba78e7), [ba33c70](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/ba33c706d26b63e43308be50c0249c72cff62cc6)). Thanks @CmsChase, @paoValle, @sx4im.
+- **Host tool discovery:** Share macOS Hopper launcher discovery across setup and runtime, preserve explicit paths, and report validated ADB and Apktool availability. ([7582f0d](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7582f0dff29ae0e80c97b885ddd386ac61a92570), [e5deb83](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/e5deb832cb09bb524877d0df40f49d5b5bb7dea4)). Thanks @Chessing234, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @viniciusdsandrade.
+- **SAZ encoding validation:** Reject invalid XML bytes, unsupported encodings and declarations that contradict the archive bytes, including records outside the selected request. ([1250aae](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/1250aaedd8b4d1e471d8a382f76418bde65c05d2)).
+- **Managed member matching:** Keep malformed TypeDef list ownership unknown, distinguish constants during structural method matching, and accept legacy small exception-section sizes. ([3f6b575](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/3f6b5755b3e699bd9373641acffe0f2c5d2ab094), [ee5cfbe](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/ee5cfbe05cd309a88003c711721e67a3bee36554)).
+- **Bounded diagnostics:** Bound SDK validation messages and terminal normalization before allocation while retaining diagnostics and explicit unknown final output sizes. ([7fb0a0c](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7fb0a0cc577f7c9033a2674d877d8242b5864556), [1d826f3](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/1d826f304f032acfe69dad3ff824b300aacaeb43)). Thanks @CRYPTONIKAV.
+
+- **Windows artifact classification:** identify `.exe`, `.com`, `.bat` and `.cmd` artifacts as launchable host executables. ([#1823](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1823), [#1824](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1824), [issue morluto/rea#1819](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1819)). Thanks @dollarsmoney, @JasonBuildAI, @kaoru0822-kitauji.
+
+- **CLI/MCP delivery:** defer command-specific startup work, bundle runtime entries, retain field/input correction details across output formats and preserve shared optional-provider lifetime. MCP selectors, paging continuation and retained partial-error references remain explicit; session liveness/provider-attribution corrections retain their controlled-provider verification limits. ([#1691](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1691), [issue morluto/rea#1685](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1685), [#1705](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1705), [issue morluto/rea#1695](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1695), [#1755](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1755), [issue morluto/rea#1746](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1746), [#1773](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1773), [issue morluto/rea#1771](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1771), [#1780](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1780), [#1814](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1814), [#1910](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1910), [issue morluto/rea#1849](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1849), [#1996](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1996), [#2140](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2140), [issue morluto/rea#2135](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2135), [#2205](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2205), [issue morluto/rea#2195](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2195), [#2230](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2230), [issue morluto/rea#2180](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2180), [#2294](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2294), [#2482](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2482), [a82d14e](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/a82d14e4db4dca989ffa2e7dbe78fd43551da256), [a4dd4e8](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/a4dd4e8e8700ce350e1a0c612ebd61b91ca5e585), [48c352b](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/48c352b6bfa34c820a530272cd36600158c37b1e), [07b36c1](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/07b36c148946f46b99a4ce04e55726e97d0ee03a), [570c40c](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/570c40cde55d31e455ef9bc484b7b908658ded58), [8fc2043](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/8fc2043eb8bcedbf34dce064f977e455438635d6), [7fc0b5e](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/7fc0b5ec9c2532bbf789d7783b7a0cab6fc054d8)). Thanks @369Apps, @chqcjq, @cold-atom, @coygeek, @JackOdegard, @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0, @sx4im.
+- **Evidence import/replay:** import bundles across session transitions while authenticating selected target and file identities, preserve literal keys, metadata/mutation intent and relationship coverage, and honor cancellation before session mutation.

+- **Browser observations:** preserve effective source-map URLs, empty query/fragment identity, response-body provenance, service-worker policies and explicit uncertainty for malformed events.

+- **Managed metadata/CIL:** preserve ExportedType and pointer-table ownership, generic/array/function-pointer/modifier signatures, ReadyToRun host identity, metadata ExtraData and signed zero. Charge retained facts and decoded instruction counts instead of broad decoding bounds; malformed layouts remain caller input errors.

+- **Hopper failure ownership:** preserve startup/process outcomes, retain cleanup leases across one-shot failures, wait for late bridges, and stop owned Linux demo children when their REA owner exits. Denied/crashed/late-bridge/queued-request failure paths use simulated process or bridge fixtures; they are not fresh installed-Hopper verification.

+- **IDA session boundaries:** retain non-x86 call coverage and unresolved-procedure uncertainty, and bound private universal-Mach-O inputs to the exact selected slice. Transient headless busy recovery was exercised on macOS arm64 IDA Pro 9.1; Linux headless, attached GUI navigation and worker-reaped cleanup paths retain their documented verification gaps.

+- **Input and capability diagnostics:** identify invalid paths, format refusals, missing host tools and non-retryable errors without losing caller selections or retryable capability facts. Foreign execution/device mutation annotations remain destructive, analysis-target text is untrusted, and output ordering follows code points rather than host locale.

+- **Android analysis:** retain decoded values, duplicate-class inventories and executable static initializers, reject malformed JADX UTF-8, and keep inline search provenance. Apktool accepts `--no-strings` and explains host requirements. Windows batch-launcher selection also resolves PATH/PATHEXT before choosing its launch mode. Recorded Apktool coverage is Linux/OpenJDK, and changed JADX/batch failure paths do not establish native Windows behavior.

+- **ADB acquisition:** preserve device paths and directory identity, prevent host destination collisions/overwrites, count UTF-8 logcat bytes and restricted permissions, and evaluate the complete Activity Manager start report. Launch attempts, status, activity and raw failure output remain observations; real-device timeout/mixed-report and Android 8 directory-read paths remain unverified beyond the documented fixtures.

Thanks @coygeek, @dakjdakd, @DeryFerd, @huiq777, @sx4im.
+- **WASM names and diagnostics:** preserve debug/custom-section names including NUL and leading BOM, accept unpadded WABT section rows, and avoid irrelevant tool-remediation advice on unrelated runtime-root failures. ([#1963](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1963), [issue morluto/rea#1956](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/1956), [#1967](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1967), [#1981](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1981), [#2084](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2084), [#2102](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2102)). Thanks @1052326311, @bugstan, @N0zoM1z0, @sathariels, @STiFLeR7, @viniciusdsandrade.

+- **Source-map and path handling:** retain source-map entries when embedded-content counts differ or an optional `sourceMappingURL` is used, and keep `file:` URLs out of operator-relative path resolution. ([#2873](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2873), [#2886](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2886), [#2882](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2882), [issue morluto/rea#2821](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2821), [issue morluto/rea#2883](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2883), [issue morluto/rea#2577](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2577)). Thanks @JFSAS, @rileygramlich, @shoyann, @shubhamahuja9999, @coygeek.
+- **Native metadata:** accept declared facts in native dispatch inventories and share native verification input diagnostics. ([#2906](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2906), [#2901](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2901), [issue morluto/rea#2564](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2564), [issue morluto/rea#2621](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/2621)). Thanks @ShitK, @coygeek.
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+- **Runtime attachment state:** `attached` may be `null` in JavaScript, browser and Electron discovery/inspection results. Treat null as unknown; do not coerce it to false. ([e55ef72](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/e55ef7213515ba204c3d88a4487b4ee6a2773b06)).
+- **Source maps:** original-source and mapping rows preserve a null source name when unavailable. Handle null explicitly instead of expecting an invented unknown-source string; new index fields remain optional when reading older Evidence. ([ee50ed1](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/ee50ed121e38cc6e1a2ff0dc8b789f15f71c5402)).
+- **Streamed filtered JSON:** `--filter-output` now emits JSON `null` instead of `{}` when the selected value is null; consumers must distinguish a present null from a missing selection. Use `--full-output` when an object envelope is required. ([#2333](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/2333)). Thanks @Jackmeson1.
+- **Call graphs:** `get_call_graph.normalized_result` is now `{ graph, limitations }`; read traversal-depth groups under `graph` and retain relationship-specific caveats. Contract/fixture validation does not establish new Ghidra or IDA engine coverage. ([5dfb9d0](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/5dfb9d050c2cc44a61b183dae765bef4d22a53b7)).
+- **MCP discovery:** `binary_session` no longer repeats `server_identity.catalog.tools`. Use the connected server tool list, grouped `tool_availability` and provider capabilities; see [MCP contracts](docs/mcp-contracts.md). Origin: [6395e8d](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/6395e8d3007d5ee453477460e7ee1c51cff76be0). ([#1988](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/1988)). Thanks @kaoru0822-kitauji, @N0zoM1z0.

+- **Provider admission:** MIPS targets with unresolved GNU ABI attributes are refused. Supply supported ABI declarations. Saved Hopper databases on macOS are unavailable because the launcher cannot run the analysis bridge when opening a database; select an executable target instead. Database support requires a script-capable database launch route. ([d4bd65c](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/d4bd65c53c0254d0195cc7ab8da163dcadfd3b9b)).
+- **Segment extents:** `binary_overview` segment length may be null when Hopper coordinates cannot establish a finite extent in one address space. Preserve unknown rather than converting it to zero or a saturated value. ([36db19c](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/36db19c59)).
+- **Invocation identity:** `server.command_path` may be null, and registration/setup statuses or doctor classifications may be unknown. Preserve these states and establish the actual invocation before treating a registration as aligned. ([187f113](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/187f113f7)). Thanks @hemv-857, @qorvr.
+- **ADB installation:** the optional `replace` input is unchanged. Results now require `replace_requested` to record the requested `adb install -r` mode; `replaced` is nullable because prior device package state was not observed. Update result readers to accept null instead of treating reinstall intent as proof of replacement. ([864314a](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/864314ac857924a7e6e65bfb37e8dc720fcc21e7)).
+- **Managed/native verification:** unresolved P/Invoke results may retain `matched_native` and candidate facts when module identity is unknown. Interpret `status`, `basis` and `limitations`; `module-identity-unknown` does not verify correspondence, and unresolved no longer implies empty observations. ([3f6b575](https://github.com/morluto/rea/commit/3f6b5755b3e699bd9373641acffe0f2c5d2ab094)).

Redirects reported by CDP are attached as ordered `redirects` on the one request ID, with the prior request URL, CDP response URL, method/type, response status/MIME/encoded length, request timestamp, and the next `requestWillBeSent` event timestamp. CDP delivers `redirectResponse` with that next request event, so the latter is an event boundary rather than an exact response timestamp. Redirect response headers and bodies are discarded; hops outside the selected origins are discarded with the request chain. Headers are discarded after an allowlisted projection of length/encoding, structured CSP/Link/policy fields, and untrusted agent hints. Cookies and authorization headers are never retained.
 - Request/response bodies are not requested or parsed by default. When selected, only allowed-origin JSON media types are read, converted immediately to complete value-free typed paths, types and observation counts, and discarded. Each path segment is either `{ "kind": "property", "name": "raw property name" }` or `{ "kind": "array-element" }`; array-element types include primitives and nested arrays. Literal `*` properties remain distinct from array elements. `Network.getResponseBody` is never sent unless JSON body shape capture is selected.

+  An unavailable HTTP resource type also leaves request identity incomplete:
+  observations with the same method and URL remain possible matches across types,
+  and identical unknown types cannot establish complete equality. Ambiguous type
+  groups cannot prove membership or content changes either: a missing type may
+  redistribute repeated requests between buckets without changing the requests.
+  Their comparison remains unknown, while independently identified groups retain
+  proven changes. Different methods/URLs and complete empty peer inventories still
+  support absence claims.
+  Relevant dropped-event counts also limit inventory completeness even when no
+  section is listed as truncated: HTTP uses `network_requests`, while WebSocket
+  uses `websocket_connections` and `websocket_frames`. Drops in other event kinds
+  and the aggregate total do not by themselves limit HTTP inventory. Proven

+  Repeated identical HTTP content samples establish multiplicity changes only

+
+When the reader of piped output closes early, as `rea ... | head` does, the

+
+`inspect-artifact` also returns a structured cancelled result, but its direct

+Codex treats an unset or empty `CODEX_HOME` as `~/.codex`. Its MCP server
+registration supports `startup_timeout_sec` for connection initialization and
+`tool_timeout_sec` for each tool call. New REA registrations use a 30-second
+startup timeout and a tool timeout derived from the known provider
+allowance plus 120 seconds of operation headroom. This yields 450 seconds for
+the default Ghidra allowance; an explicit Ghidra startup timeout of 2700
+seconds yields 2820 seconds. Setup preserves positive caller-selected timeout
+values in the REA entry, and doctor reports a non-blocking advisory when a tool
+timeout is shorter than the known provider allowance. An explicitly selected
+JEB request budget also contributes to the allowance. A configured IDA
+registration's parsed `timeoutMs` contributes for `ida` or `auto` selection.
+An explicit `REA_JADX_OPERATION_TIMEOUT_MS` is forwarded with the JADX

+Main-process IPC recording keeps original-function removal for `on` and `once`
+registrations and records a fired `once` callback once. Native Node.js owns
+`once` registration, firing and callable dispatch as well as removal order and
+traversal, including listeners registered by removal observers;
+the hook translates only its own recording wrappers at the removal boundary.
+Wrapper metadata uses weak keys and does not retain removed registrations.
+Wrapper metadata operations, private collection methods and traversal constructors are captured
+before target startup; later replacement of their global bindings does not
+change listener registration or removal.
+
+Native runtimes differ in whether `once` consults callback `.call` or `.apply`.
+The hook observes actual callback entry without imposing another runtime's
+property reads or argument-list representation. Application methods selected by
+native dispatch keep their original receiver and argument-list object; opaque
+methods produce a `custom-call` or `custom-apply` observation gap when callback
+execution cannot be established.
+
+If native wrapper creation or registration-method lookup could expose private
+instrumentation through an application getter, setter or Proxy, registration
+stays native and unwrapped. The `once-metadata` observation gap identifies that
+unobserved registration attempt; it does not prove registration or delivery. The original callback,
+metadata writes and native method receivers are preserved, including when
+registration fails. Later registrations resume normal observation. Non-callable
+`call`/`apply` properties produce failed observation gaps when native dispatch reads
+them; callback entry is not fabricated.
+
+An `on` listener's application-defined `.apply` receives the original argument-list
+object unchanged. Borrowing the exposed method preserves its dynamic receiver.
+Because that method owns argument interpretation and may not
+invoke the callback, the hook records a bounded `ipc-observation-gap` timeline
+entry with the registered channel rather than an IPC invocation. Its empty
+`argument_shapes` means unobserved arguments, not a zero-argument callback;
+callback execution and result remain unknown. Coverage and retention include
+these gaps even when their individual records are dropped. Normal native
+dispatch continues to record actual invocation frames. Evidence snapshots copy
+retained arrays and counters without invoking application iterators or Array
+species.
+
+Listener-chain recognition distinguishes owned, unowned and unknown metadata.
+Data links may be inherited; absence is established only after completing the
+bounded prototype lookup. Exhausting either walk, encountering a getter or seeing a Proxy leaves
+ownership unknown. The hook preserves native registration without adding another
+recording wrapper and retains a `listener-chain` observation gap after successful
+registration. This gap does not prove IPC delivery. An existing inner recording
+wrapper can still report its actual invocation; otherwise callback activity
+remains unobserved. Setter-only properties have a known undefined read.
+Data-descriptor parsing is shared with removal normalization.
+
+This does not establish complete JavaScript function introspection equivalence.
+Caller-defined `.listener` properties can change the identity exposed by
+`listeners()` and meta-events; accessors and Proxy metadata are not followed for
+wrapper recognition. Re-registering a raw recording wrapper on another channel
+retains the original registration's channel attribution.
+Mutating `.listener` on a raw recording wrapper can also prevent removal through

+
+## How answers are produced
+
+The first text or assembly request in a session looks for this target's export in the cache. `list_documents` reads the selected path without initializing analysis. Inventory, function lookup, string queries, call relationships and xrefs do not start a C export. A data-name lookup starts it only when the address is absent from the function inventory. The export is keyed by the target's SHA-256, the Kuna executable's SHA-256, its version and `--jobs`.
+
+- **Warm cache:** analysis reads reuse the verified export. A fresh server verifies its file digests once, even for concurrent first requests; that cost scales with export size.
+- **Cold cache:**
+  - REA starts `kuna decompile-project` in the background on a private copy of the target.
+  - Meanwhile, pseudocode comes from one `kuna decompile --addr` run. Name and address lookups, and listings, use the inventory the export takes with `kuna functions --json` before it decompiles. The session runs `kuna functions` itself, under `REA_KUNA_TIMEOUT_MS`, only when no export is building (an inventory-only request does not start one) or the export ends without an inventory.
+  - Requests for the same function share one run; it stops when its last waiting request is cancelled. Each run analyzes the whole image again in its own process, so one REA process runs at most as many at once as the host has cores beyond `REA_KUNA_JOBS` (at least one). Further requests wait in order, and a waiting request is answered from the export if it finishes first. A run whose stop REA cannot prove keeps its slot until `close_binary` proves it stopped.
+  - The session keeps each completed single-function text, up to 16 MiB in all with the least recently used dropped first, and answers repeats from it until the export can. After a failed export that lasts for the session.
+  - Assembly and data names wait for the export; progress notifications report the wait every ten seconds. A session does not rebuild a failed export: requests that need it fail with `retryable: false`, the export's failure, its captured Kuna output and what to change before reopening the target. A setting such as `REA_KUNA_PROJECT_TIMEOUT_MS` or `REA_KUNA_JOBS` is read when REA starts, so changing it also needs a restart. Pseudocode keeps using single-function runs.
+  - A single-function answer says so in its limitations. It lacks the export's whole-program prototypes, so a later request can return different text for the same function.
+
+Pseudocode, assembly, `analyze_function` and data-name answers record where their text came from in `raw_result.source`: `single-function`, or `project-export` with the cache directory. `procedure_pseudo_code` and `procedure_assembly` answers from the export also name the file, byte span and the file's SHA-256. Combined `analyze_function` answers retain both facet records in `raw_result.source.files`, each with its file, digest and byte span. Both texts come from one export; losing that project retries the complete report. Listings and procedure lookups carry no `raw_result`. Agents can open or search the export's `.c` and `.asm` there directly when that is cheaper than calling a tool per function. Text read that way is target-derived, like any decompiler output, but it bypasses the untrusted-content marker that REA's tool results carry.
+
+The background export belongs to the session. `close_binary`, or the end of a CLI command, cancels it unless another session still waits for it. A one-shot CLI decompile therefore answers from a single-function run; any request that needs the export, such as `procedure_assembly` or `analyze_function`, keeps it.
+
+The assembly label index is scanned once per export reader. Cancelling a request stops its wait without interrupting other readers; closing the session aborts and drains the shared scan before releasing its files.
+
+Regex procedure and string search uses ECMAScript Unicode matching in a cancellable worker with a five-second matching deadline. Literal matching remains the default. Cancellation or a matching deadline leaves the session available.
+
+Single-function subprocess output and each cached source facet share a 16 MiB buffered-text capacity. Cached spans are checked before allocation; larger text remains in the local export and the error identifies the file and range. `analyze_function` initially returns the complete dossier, which can still be large; later retained views do not remove that first transfer. Prefer the individual text tools for a focused question.
+
+## Strings
+
+`list_strings` and `search_strings` share one lazy `kuna strings --json --encoding all --min-length 5 --termination any --no-xrefs` scan of the digest-checked private input. Skipping references avoids program lifting, a call graph and a C export. REA validates the input, scan policy, every row and the total before caching any facts. Encoding, character count, byte length and terminator facts must agree; supplementary UTF-8 characters count as Unicode scalars. Malformed output is an error, not an empty search. REA parses the JSON as Kuna writes it instead of buffering it, so the scan has no fixed size: Kuna writes about 290 bytes per row, 31 MB for a 20 MB Ghostty binary and 179 MB (611k rows) for an arm64 Firefox `XUL`. Rows are validated one at a time, and the first contradiction stops Kuna. Text REA does not keep is dropped unassembled; kept text and retained rows are admitted against the REA process's live heap headroom as they arrive; a refusal is a `memory` resource constraint with `retryable: false`, and closing other targets or starting REA with a larger Node.js heap makes room. String scans use the whole-program `REA_KUNA_PROJECT_TIMEOUT_MS` deadline; `REA_KUNA_TIMEOUT_MS` applies to single-function decompilation. The parsed inventory belongs to one selected target/executable profile and expires on session close; Kuna diagnostics beyond their 8 MiB buffer are retained as a failure until close, while other failures are not cached.
+
+Results keep exact u64 virtual addresses, decoded text, native encoding, terminator status and byte length including any terminator. Kuna scans mapped sections or segments for runs of at least five characters; unterminated fragments can include instruction bytes. `all` includes ASCII, UTF-8 and the engine's Latin-range UTF-16LE reading. Other text, including short strings, non-Latin wide text and UTF-16BE, can remain undiscovered. An empty result does not prove absence.
+
+Use `search_strings` for the matching rows or `list_strings` with an exact address for that location. The validated inventory is sorted by numeric address and encoding. Once cached, exact-address reads use binary search and return every encoding at that address without scanning the full inventory or retaining another lookup index. Literal and regex matching run in REA, preserving the existing case and ECMAScript Unicode semantics instead of substituting Kuna's different regex dialect. Procedure and string regex queries share one worker slot per session. Input projections are materialized only after admission, so queued queries retain no per-query inventory arrays. Close cancels and drains matching. Native metadata queries also share one admission slot, including references; a failed stop retains admission until cleanup is proven.
+
+`raw_result.strings` reports the source JSON digest/size, scanned scope, extraction policy, complete inventory count and selected count without copying unrequested text into the answer. Omit the address from `list_strings` to retrieve the complete inventory as Evidence; normal session retention and bundle export apply, including transport-capacity errors for oversized inline replies. These operations preserve their complete-result contracts and do not add paging. Function-referenced string facets in `analyze_function` remain unavailable; call `xrefs` explicitly when references to one returned string are needed.
+
+## Calls and references
+
+The first call query runs `kuna decompile-graph --functions ''`, admitting no C or assembly bodies. One validated graph and forward/reverse indexes serve later call queries and existing `get_call_graph` / `trace_call_path` workflows. Numeric u64 addresses are parsed from their original JSON tokens. Only `call` edges become callers/callees; jumps and data references retain their distinct meaning. Graph counts, edge endpoints and ordering are validated before any relationship is returned. A forwarding address may be an instruction inside a function, so it is retained separately and never promoted to a function node or call edge. Reported indirect calls make affected relationship coverage partial; no target is invented for them.
+
+`xrefs` runs native `xrefs --to ADDRESS --json` on demand. Kuna unifies forwarding aliases and suppresses edges internal to their class; REA filters to the requested address and records the excluded-row count. Duplicate source sites appear once. An empty result cannot establish the absence of references. Addresses are explicit u64 values or exact, unambiguous procedure names; Kuna has no cursor.
+
+REA parses the graph as Kuna writes it, like the string scan, so the graph has no fixed size: a 53 MB Raycast binary produces 157 MB (180k functions, 773k edges), which REA retains in about 93 MB after a whole-program walk of about a minute. Unrequested bodies are refused before any of their text is assembled, and edges are indexed as they arrive, so retained rows and their indexes are admitted against live heap headroom. Xref JSON admits at most 16 MiB before parsing. Output or Kuna diagnostics beyond a buffer are reported as a `memory` resource constraint with `retryable: false`, because the same target and executable produce the same output. The session remembers such a graph failure, so later call queries fail at once instead of repeating the whole-program walk. The graph is cached for the selected target and executable profile within one session. Xref reuse is an LRU charged by source bytes plus metadata, limited to 16 MiB and 128 entries; at most eight distinct native xref queries may be pending. Reference commands run one at a time per session and share the provider's foreground budget with single-function decompiles. An unproven process stop retains its admission slots until cleanup succeeds. Concurrent callers share work, individual cancellation releases only that waiter, and the last departing waiter cancels its producer and receives any unproven cleanup. Session close aborts and drains producers, releases parsed caches and retries any retained process/file cleanup.
+
+Evidence includes only selected addresses or dossier neighbors, the producing JSON's SHA-256/byte count, coverage and relevant function facts; unrequested program-wide JSON and instruction text are omitted. Reference caches are in memory and expire on close: a fresh CLI process or MCP server rebuilds them. A first call query therefore costs a whole-program reference walk even when a C export is warm. These operations do not establish full Ghidra/IDA feature parity.
+
+Failures from shared installation or inventory work identify the operation the
+caller requested. `diagnostics.producer_operation` retains the internal producer
+name when it differs. Caller-specific failures keep the producer's typed outcome,
+captured output, partial facts and live cleanup dependencies; cleanup retry
+updates every projection rather than preserving an independent stale marker.
+Installation acquisition is shared, with independently cancellable caller waits.
+The final departing caller stops the probe and joins its cleanup; session close
+also stops and joins acquisition. A cleanly cancelled acquisition can be retried,
+while a retained cleanup failure blocks replacement until its owner is closed.
+Shared string and reference queries preserve caller cancellation reasons and
+join the final departing caller's command cleanup. A command cleanup error keeps
+its typed primary failure and captured output. Its live resource list follows
+both process and workspace ownership: proving process exit does not prove that
+the private workspace was removed, and retry updates earlier caller errors.
+If workspace setup fails, an unsuccessful rollback retains the original target
+or read failure together with its cleanup owner. Replacement stays blocked until
+that rollback is resolved; a clean rollback permits another setup attempt.
+
+## Provenance and limitations
+
+- Addresses and bytes are Kuna's observations of the image. Procedure entries and extents are its derivations: extents are upper bounds clipped at the next entry, and Kuna can split one function at an entry its own analysis infers. Pseudocode is its reconstruction, never original source.
+- Pseudocode and assembly are exact Kuna text; text from Kuna and from another provider is not comparable as equal or different.
+- Results are re-read rather than replayed from REA's analysis snapshots, because a cold answer can differ from the export's.
+
+## Cache ownership
+
+REA writes Kuna's exports only inside `REA_KUNA_CACHE_DIR`:
+
+- `projects/<key>/` holds published, immutable exports with a manifest of file digests.
+- `staging/` holds builds whose processes may still be live.
+- `trash/` holds retired builds and evicted exports awaiting removal.
+- `home/` is Kuna's HOME.
+
+Builds publish by one rename, so a reader sees a complete export or none. A session keeps the export it uses from eviction only within its own REA process. If another REA process sharing the cache evicts it, the session rebuilds it; meanwhile pseudocode falls back to single-function runs. A damaged or edited export is removed and rebuilt. Staging moves to `trash/` for removal only after REA proves its Kuna process stopped. Staging of a process it cannot prove stopped is never swept; REA keeps it owned, retries the stop on `close_binary`, and reports it until the stop is proven. Failed file removal also stays bound to its export and is retried by `close_binary`; closing does not report success while that cleanup remains. `rea doctor --provider kuna` reports the cache directory without creating it.
+
+## Verify with a real Kuna
+
+```bash
+REA_KUNA_COMMAND=/absolute/path/to/kuna npm run verify:kuna
+# Compare with Ghidra on caller-built binaries
+REA_KUNA_COMMAND=/absolute/path/to/kuna GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=/absolute/path/to/ghidra \
+  npm run verify:kuna -- --targets DIR --functions inflate,crc32 --compare-ghidra
+```
+
+The lane compiles a small source-owned fixture with the host C compiler and verifies the MCP workflow end to end. `--targets DIR --functions a,b` adds caller-built binaries. `--compare-ghidra` (with `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR`) runs those same functions through Ghidra; it requires `--targets` and `--functions` and refuses empty matrices or requested function names missing from every target. See [testing](testing.md#kuna-lane) for coverage.
+
+Failed runs also report process-lineage evidence and exit unsuccessfully. If provider or transport cleanup is unconfirmed, the report says `cleanup: "incomplete"` and records `retained_workspace`; that directory is preserved for investigation and cleanup retries.

+ARM and AArch64 entries must be 4-byte aligned; m68k entries must be 2-byte
+aligned; x86 and 6502 entries may be byte-aligned.
 For 6502, the entry and complete mapped file must fit within `0x0000..0xffff`;
 images that cross the 16-bit boundary are rejected before provider startup.
+For m68k, the mapping must fit within `0x0..0xffffffff`.
 `open_binary` and an open `binary_session` return the canonical `entry_point`
 for raw targets so callers can verify the selected mapping directly.
 Omitted `format` keeps header-based detection; architecture and entry without
 `format=raw-binary` are rejected.

+# Reconstruction coverage
+
+`rea evaluate-reconstruction-coverage coverage.json --json` evaluates an inline
+coverage workspace and its selected `boundary_id`. MCP exposes the same input
+through `evaluate_reconstruction_coverage`. Results contain a status, reasons,
+recommended probes and Evidence references; the supplied bundle retains the
+complete records.
+
+Evidence IDs and bundle manifests must authenticate before evaluation. A valid
+record can still be insufficient proof: a passing verifier summary cannot
+promote inferred Evidence into a replay observation. That case returns
+`unknown`, while a missing or tampered record remains an input error.
+
+## Comparable verifier Evidence
+
+At least one record explicitly cited by the latest verifier observation must
+support the declared contract authority:
+
+| Contract authority  | Evidence source                           | Confidence              |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `shipped-artifact`  | `shipped-artifact`                        | `observed` or `derived` |
+| `controlled-replay` | `controlled-replay`                       | `observed`              |
+| `live-observation`  | `controlled-replay` or `external-service` | `observed`              |
+| `external`          | `external-service`                        | `observed`              |
+
+Contextual references can accompany qualifying proof. An unrelated observed
+record elsewhere in the bundle cannot repair a result that cites only
+inference. Older observed results cannot replace the newest weak result.
+Equivalent observations at the same instant can share qualifying proof from
+one of those observations; conflicting tied assessments remain unknown.
+
+## Package and integration proof
+
+Build, clean-install and runtime-routing claims require observed runtime
+Evidence (`controlled-replay` or `external-service`). Package-content and
+authority-independence audits can also use observed or derived
+`shipped-artifact` Evidence. Each proof must cite its qualifying records and
+cover the selected boundary's artifact digests. An inference alone establishes
+neither a passing nor a failed package workflow.
+
+The evaluator preserves Evidence provenance and returns an actionable unknown
+when qualification is unavailable. It does not change the cited records to
+make their authority match a caller's declaration.

 run calls full CI qualification at that exact revision, including coverage,
 portable providers, and every native package host. Later main commits cannot
 change or cancel that proof.
+After qualification, a separate runner with read-only repository/actions
+permissions restores the retained tarball and verifier runtime. It installs
+that exact archive into an empty prefix, then exercises CLI help/discovery and
+the real stdio MCP catalog/session contract. Installation finishes before the
+protocol deadline begins, with dependency lifecycle scripts disabled. Only a
+successful rehearsal enables the job with npm publishing authority. Both jobs
+use the same release-input action; neither rebuilds or repacks the archive.
+This rehearsal checks package consumption on the Linux release runner;
+qualification retains its broader native-host and real-provider checks.
+
+Before publishing, npm lookup failures and malformed metadata stop the job.
+An existing version must match the qualified tarball's SHA-512 and intended
+`latest`/`next` dist-tag before it can be reused. Publication never overwrites
+an existing version or silently changes a dist-tag. After publication, only
+confirmed registry absence is retried within the propagation window. Content
+or tag mismatches fail immediately. The post-publication verifier installs
+from npm and repeats the same CLI/MCP checks; it also exercises a real update
+from an older stable release. For a prerelease on `next`, that updater still
+targets stable `latest`, as the public update command does.
+
+The required reverse-tools lane runs fresh coverage and both mutation
+preflights. Complete mutation sweeps run separately on a schedule or manual
+dispatch and do not block publication; see [the testing guide](testing.md).
 Ordinary main pushes and closed, unmerged PRs cannot publish packages. Check
 both publication jobs and the published-package canary; a merged PR or GitHub
 tag alone does not establish that publication finished. Retry failed jobs in
 the original run after a partial publication.
 
+### Recover an already published npm release
+
+Rerunning a job uses its original workflow and source revision. When a verifier
+or publishing workflow needs a code fix, land that fix on main first, then use
+the separate recovery workflow instead of repeating release creation:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run release-recovery.yml --ref main \
+  -f version=6.5.0 -f release_run_id=38564502044
+```
+
+Select the existing version and its original automatic Release run. Recovery
+requires that run's successful exact-source CI gate and npm publish step. It
+uses the existing release tag, original qualified tarball and verifier runtime;
+expired or missing artifacts stop recovery. The archive's source, version,
+original run/attempt and Node version must match, and its SHA-512 must equal
+npm's published integrity. The corrected controller runs the public CLI, MCP
+catalog/session and previous-version update canary against that released runtime.
+The installation completes before MCP's handshake begins; dependency lifecycle
+scripts are disabled as in the installed-package verifier.
+
+Only after verification succeeds does recovery publish the released
+`server.json` to MCP Registry. It does not create tags or GitHub releases,
+publish npm bytes, or change dist-tags. Both publication paths share the same
+MCP publisher: a paginated registry lookup preserves an identical active
+version, refuses conflicting/inactive metadata, and fails on lookup errors.
+The original failed run remains a historical failure; the recovery run records
+the new verification and remaining registry publication. Manual frozen-branch
+releases are outside this recovery path.
+
 For a release that needs an independently frozen application checkpoint, use
 the optional manual path below. It retains explicit prepare and publish phases.

+
+Synchronize cancellation with the finalization boundary being tested; a fixed
+delay after dispatch does not establish that phase. Use markers, barriers, or
+owned cleanup seams while preserving real cleanup where feasible. Check server
+settlement and retained resources even if the MCP SDK rejects the client promise
+before the handler finishes. A cancellation during active execution does not
+cover cancellation during final cleanup.
+Use explicit abort reasons and assert their identity at admission and after
+provider completion, alongside retained observations and cleanup state.
+
+For atomic writes, exercise cancellation on both sides of the documented commit
+point and preserve any publication receipt. A late interruption does not prove
+that no output was published.
+
+For successful provider reports, test cancellation immediately before the report
+reaches the application workflow as well as during provider cleanup. Validate
+the report before classifying completion: a valid report must retain its Evidence
+on cancellation, and an invalid report must keep its output error. Exercise both
+the provider boundary and the shared CLI/MCP workflow; a downstream guard does
+not repair the provider's own completion contract. When callers share startup,
+cancel each waiter independently and verify that the last departure awaits owned
+cleanup while interested peers can still reach readiness. Repeat the same
+shutdown event after a cleanup failure to verify that its listener can retry.
+Exercise non-default lifecycle deadlines through queued requests and their
+consumers; default-only controls cannot detect dropped request options.
+
+For descriptor-backed reads, inject a close failure after a successful read and
+after a primary read or cancellation failure. Verify that the exact descriptor
+remains owned, both failures survive, and a later close retries it. Repeat
+admission attempts while close still fails: no additional descriptor or
+native command should start. Restore close and verify that the exact owner
+resolves the originating cleanup marker and allows later work, while the earlier
+failure remains available as a diagnostic. Retain errors returned by multiple
+failed retries, including admission and shutdown aggregates, and assert that
+each becomes complete after recovery. For an aggregate with multiple owners,
+release one owner while another still fails and assert that it remains incomplete.
+Cover recovery before the
+caller-specific error is bound to its retained owner, as
+another request can retry cleanup concurrently. Confirm that an already released
+owner resolves a later binding too. Include
+admission failure after opening the descriptor. If caller cancellation returns
+before an inspection settles, gate its final read or close and verify that
+session shutdown waits for the owned work and reports any retained resources.
+Gate a later read in a multi-read inspection, not only its first read. Overlap
+operations so one retains a failed descriptor while another reaches its next
+read; both the operation and shutdown must settle without nested-admission
+deadlock. Deny child close and verify its containing root survives until retry.
+
+Exercise publication on filesystems without hard links using an unsupported-link
+seam. Check exclusive destination creation, stat/write/close failures, completed
+output receipts, and cancellation at the documented cutoff. A streamed fallback
+has different visibility from an atomic hard-link commit and must report it
+accurately. For Windows command supervision, keep a descendant writing after its
+leader exits, deny cleanup observation, and verify a competing writer remains
+excluded until the exact Job Object closes. Portable doubles cover retry logic;
+the native Windows lane must establish actual process-tree behavior.
+
+Supervisor tests must observe process exit, output-pipe closure, and IPC
+disconnection separately. In the pinned Node runtime, a parent-initiated IPC
+disconnect can omit the aggregate `ChildProcess` close event. Join the actual
+resource observations before reporting completion; process exit alone does not
+establish pipe or process-tree release.
+
+When changing an internal helper contract, check its JavaScript verifier and
+subprocess-script consumers alongside TypeScript references. Source typecheck
+does not check those calls; run their orchestration tests against the built
+modules, including the verifier's failure and cleanup paths.

+  and exit observations even when launch fails; retain unknown ownership.
+- Authenticate and capture identity through the same boundary on initial and
+  recovery handshakes. Bound abandoned unauthenticated listeners where the
+  protocol permits it; that deadline must not expire authenticated idle sessions
+  or long-running native work. Listener expiry does not prove target closure.
+- Readiness observations may await owned prerequisite commands. Status must
+  remain readable during owner finalization without starting replacement work;
+  report readiness as unknown when it cannot be re-observed.
+- Shared startup has one producer and independently cancellable caller waits.
+  Keep it running while any caller still needs it. The final departing caller
+  waits for owned cleanup and retains its failure. Provider closure is distinct
+  from caller cancellation. Retained cleanup capabilities block replacement;
+  derive readiness from the current startup's completion and live connection.
+- For cancellable observations, carry cancellation through result consumption
+  and awaited cleanup. Before returning success, check the signal after the
+  last awaited finalization step.
+  Retain collected observations under typed cancellation. Preserve an existing
+  primary failure and let incomplete cleanup retain its own classification.
+  Preserve the caller's abort reason as the typed cancellation error's cause,
+  including when cancellation is observed only after provider completion.
+  Shared command owners must retain the observed cancellation reason separately
+  from physical failures and cleanup ownership. Carry that fact through failure
+  wrapping so adapters can preserve the exact reason without interpreting it.
+  Client cancellation alone does not prove native work stopped.
+  For atomic publication, document the cancellation cutoff and preserve any
+  committed output's publication receipt.
+  Queued and retried work must retain the complete accepted execution controls,
+  including non-default lifecycle deadlines and cancellation signals.
+- Release only owned resources. Attaching owns a connection or session unless
+  the provider contract explicitly establishes target ownership. A helper exit,
+  missing reply, or missing PID does not establish target exit.
+- Retain successful child cleanup and retry only unresolved children, including
+  when close options change. Preserve observed child failure or activity when
+  another child's health is unavailable; idle plus missing coverage stays
+  unknown.
+  Bind cleanup failures to their exact resource owner. Resolve current cleanup
+  uncertainty only after that owner confirms release, while preserving the
+  original failure and completed observations. Later failure composition must
+  report only resources whose cleanup remains unresolved. Carry cleanup
+  capabilities explicitly in typed outcomes so consumers can bind returned errors
+  to exact owners without reparsing diagnostic cause chains.
+  Bind every caller-visible retry error and aggregate, including an error already
+  produced by the provider. An aggregate remains incomplete until all owners it
+  reports are released; releasing one child cannot clear another child's status.
+- Await one-shot cleanup without discarding the completed result or primary
+  diagnostic. Preserve partial observations, remaining resources, and the cleanup
+  owner's recovery instructions. CLI adapters should reuse
+  [`finishAnalysisCommand`](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/src/cli/finishAnalysisCommand.ts) where its contract
+  applies rather than duplicate close/finally handling.
+- Give descriptor-backed reads an owner before opening the file. A rejected
+  close must retain the exact handle and preserve any earlier failure. If an
+  abortable caller stops waiting, keep the underlying work in that owner's
+  lifetime so shutdown cannot report release before finalization settles.
+  Admit the entire inspection once, including later reads and finalization.
+  Helpers must borrow that admission or use an operation child scope; re-entering
+  the same draining scope can make cleanup wait for its own caller.
+  Retry retained cleanup before admitting new work and keep admission blocked
+  while it remains unresolved. Link the originating cleanup error to its exact
+  owner so confirmed release resolves its cleanup marker while preserving the
+  earlier diagnostic. Shared CLI/MCP adapters cannot infer that confirmation.
+- Provider profile selection owns every asynchronous candidate through its
+  terminal result and finalization. The registry owns profile-file cleanup,
+  joins all automatic-selection children, and closes those file owners before
+  reporting candidate shutdown. Final caller cancellation joins the selection;
+  an adapter that ignores cancellation remains active and owned until it settles.
+  Block new admission during shutdown and while cleanup remains unresolved;
+  reopen after confirmed retry. Preserve failed results before considering a
+  later signal, and retain every child's attributed cleanup in mixed outcomes.
+- Release child descriptors before removing their containing root. Retain a
+  composite owner when either stage fails so retry preserves that ordering.

+# Electron cancellation verification, 2026-10-16
+
+[#4388](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4388), existing
+[#4387](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4387), umbrella
+[#4027](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4027).
+
+The cancellation boundaries and retained cancellation cause are verified below.
+The complete real Linux Joplin workflow remains **partial or failed** because
+process ownership/cleanup cannot be verified. Publishing a typed reply, exiting
+the CLI, and cleaning up its application are separate observations.
+
+## Source and deterministic regressions
+
+Latest-main control is `fe2a398dd9ab290ba6cb3411403d319cec8d07a2`.
+The existing reviewed PR head `af732dd8` was integrated with that main in
+`3b094802a`. Its initial 47 focused cases passed. An unrelated compact-catalog
+test hit its unchanged 10-second CI deadline; an unchanged-source job retry
+passed. The original failed execution remains in CI history.
+
+Real CLI verification exposed an introduced regression: the PR replaced an
+already observed cancellation with success after the final snapshot. A later
+cleanup failure then lost the cancellation category and caller reason. Two
+deterministic cases reproduced this for process and transport cleanup: 20 old
+cases passed and both new cases failed. Main's public reply retained category
+`cancelled`; the reviewed PR returned `execution_failure` for the same kind of
+cancelled wait plus incomplete cleanup.
+
+Fix `73d4a712b` records cancellation before finalization and uses one constructor
+for the early and late partial-capture errors. Cleanup failure keeps precedence,
+its diagnostics and the earlier cancellation cause. Cancellation first observed
+during cleanup retains the existing precedence. The fix changes the producing
+outcome; no CLI/MCP projection repair or ownership-policy exception was added.
+
+All **49 focused cases in three files** passed after the fix. Full static checks
+passed: six tasks plus architecture guards. Documentation checks also passed
+(six tasks, including two cached, plus five README consistency cases). One intermediate build rejected an
+over-narrowed `aborted === true` comparison; the original truthiness pattern
+resolved that TypeScript error before the passing build. Recorded catalog
+metadata is byte-identical to main. No new tool, schema, cache or normal-case
+result field was added.
+
+## Real application observations
+
+The unchanged official Joplin 3.7.21 ASAR is 233,575,014 bytes, SHA-256
+`767df409b18effe60421fbefcca873de237c7e813eac744ecdeebbc5e825a33a`.
+Acquisition is linked in the [original Joplin verification](javascript-native-handoff-identity-2026-10-15.md).
+Its complete unpacked native files/assets accompany it. These trials use the
+actual application with **generic Electron 44.7.0**, fresh profiles and Xvfb.
+They exercise startup/cancellation, not a completed Joplin business workflow.
+
+Frozen verifier revision `279aa29a7` records source/runtime hashes before the
+final probes. The controlled cases hold a REA-side Playwright reply while the
+real application runs. They do not establish a naturally occurring Joplin stall.
+
+| Controlled condition                        | Observed result                                                                                        |
+| ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Main: first-window reply stays pending      | Still pending 20.001 s after cancellation; verifier watchdog fails                                     |
+| Fixed: same pending first-window reply      | Cancellation returned in 5.658 s; cancelled action retained                                            |
+| Fixed: initial snapshot reply stays pending | Cancellation returned in 5.335 s; no invented partial snapshot                                         |
+| Fixed: final snapshot reply stays pending   | Cancellation returned in 10.262 s; five-second cancellation grace expiry and initial snapshot retained |
+
+Every fixed case preserves the `cancelled` category. Every real case still has
+unverified provider cleanup and a nonzero verifier exit; these are cancellation
+phase proofs, not complete runtime passes. The known Linux ownership gap is
+tracked in [#4282](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4282). Ownership was not
+inferred from process names, PIDs or executable paths to make these tests pass.
+
+The public CLI trials send SIGTERM after actual Joplin startup logging. Main
+and the fixed version both publish `cleanup_incomplete` with category `cancelled`
+and a cancelled action. The fixed reply was observed about 5.268 s after SIGTERM
+(50 ms polling resolution). Both fail the verifier's 20-second first-signal exit
+deadline and require a second, explicitly recorded recovery signal. The resulting
+143 exit is not proof that the first signal completed cleanup.
+
+The official packaged Joplin executable also passed static fuse admission, but
+its initial Inspector evaluation failed with a destroyed execution context before
+the cancellation condition was reached. Those attempts remain failed diagnostics;
+they establish no bundled-runtime compatibility or cancellation result.
+
+## Costs, limits and reproducibility
+
+Costly operations run serially on one CPU 10 with an 8 GiB hard limit, 6 GiB
+early stop, no swap and 192 tasks. The passing static gate used 153.534 s wall,
+152.274161 family CPU seconds and 6,442,016,768 peak cgroup bytes. It reported
+no OOM and verified payload cleanup. Cgroup memory includes file cache, not RSS.
+Other trials' exact counters and failures are preserved in the
+[compact record](electron-cancellation-2026-10-16.json).
+
+Payload-exit counters are collected while the observer remains alive and are
+not final whole-scope counters. Some failed probes retain live app/Xvfb processes
+at that point. Every recorded scope was independently confirmed inactive/dead
+after the external owner stopped it. That recovery does not establish successful
+provider cleanup.
+
+OS/build caches are uncontrolled. A timed-out baseline and a partial fixed
+workflow do not establish a completed-task speedup. Live event sets also differ,
+so reply-size differences do not establish token savings. Model billing, peak
+agent context and complete host/tool-schema token costs are unmeasured. Historical
+diagnostic helper hashes were not captured at execution; the record marks that
+gap instead of assigning the later frozen hash to earlier runs.
+
+Build each pinned checkout, then run under the existing
+[resource observer](../../experiments/analysis-efficiency/resource-counters.md)
+and a private Xvfb instance. The shared verifier supports all four named cases:
+
+```sh
+node experiments/analysis-efficiency/electron-cancellation.mjs \
+  --runtime-root /absolute/pinned-checkout \
+  --executable /absolute/electron-44.7.0/electron \
+  --application /absolute/Joplin/resources/app.asar \
+  --profile-root /absolute/temporary-profile-parent --case window-wait
+```
+
+Use `initial-state`, `final-state` or `normal-wait` for the other boundaries.
+The public CLI probe has no injected stalled reply:
+
+```sh
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/joplin-cli-cancellation.py \
+  --node /absolute/node-24.18.0/bin/node --runtime-root /absolute/pinned-checkout \
+  --executable /absolute/electron-44.7.0/electron \
+  --application /absolute/Joplin/resources/app.asar \
+  --profile-root /absolute/temporary-profile-parent
+```
+
+The scripts return failure rather than claiming complete cleanup when the real
+owned app remains unresolved. App binaries, extracted runtimes/profiles and raw
+large output are regenerable and are not committed. No macOS, Windows, full
+Joplin GUI or live-model success is claimed.
+
+## Review follow-up: verifier exit semantics
+
+Review of `beb4a47db` found a verifier false pass: the shared probe could exit
+successfully once its main process had exited even though provider cleanup was
+still unverified. The CLI probe also accepted `cleanup_incomplete`. Those are
+verifier bugs; they do not invalidate the recorded failed Joplin trials above.
+
+Revision `227217ac3` requires verified provider cleanup in both probes and the
+public `cancelled` category in the CLI. Six controlled oracle cases cover an
+exited main process with incomplete cleanup, complete cleanup, transport failure
+after process cleanup, and a wrong public category. Both old scripts fail these
+regressions; the fixed scripts pass all six. These cases substitute provider/CLI
+replies and do **not** establish real-provider compatibility or performance.
+
+The fixed, frozen scripts were then rerun on the same real Joplin artifact. The
+shared window-wait probe retained cancellation in 5.577 s and explicitly failed
+because cleanup remained unverified. The public CLI retained category `cancelled`
+and a cancelled action, published its reply about 6.335 s after SIGTERM, and
+again failed the first-signal exit deadline. Both verifiers exited nonzero; their
+externally owned scopes were stopped separately. Production source and the
+earlier historical records are unchanged. The compact record appends these
+observations under `review_followup`.
+
+Run the controlled oracle regressions separately from the real-app commands:
+
+```sh
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/electron-cancellation-oracles.py \
+  --node /absolute/node-24.18.0/bin/node
+```

+[#4390](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4390), existing
+[#4389](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4389), umbrella
+[#4027](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4027).
+
+All 73 IPC boundary regressions pass, alongside shared projection/actions and
+converted MCP schema checks. Real draw.io operation phases succeed.
+Every real capture still **fails overall provider cleanup**. These are distinct
+results; neither completed-task acceleration nor token savings is established.
+
+## Producing boundary and regressions
+
+The existing PR `efd452948` was integrated with main `180ba03bf` in `5c3b02468`.
+It fixes removal through the caller's original function and duplicate recording
+of `once` invocations. Independent review found two further producing-boundary
+problems: wrapper recognition evaluated caller `.listener` getters, and a copied
+`removeAllListeners` snapshot loop differed from native live-array traversal when
+removal observers prepended a listener.
+
+Both new differential cases failed on that implementation (14 passed, two
+failed). Fix `3c330f259` delegates traversal to Node, translating only owned `on`
+wrappers at `removeListener`, and preserves the `off` alias. Descriptor reads
+avoid evaluating getters. A further Proxy case exposed that descriptor reflection
+can itself run a trap (16 passed, one failed); `2fb7f5523` uses Node's Proxy
+identity first and removes the superseded catch. Those initial **17 cases** pass;
+the later decorator finding and final 23-case validation are recorded below.
+The native EventEmitter controls are semantic regressions, not real-app proof.
+
+The change uses weak wrapper keys, removes the copied traversal and its snapshot
+allocation, and adds no tool, cache, schema or normal reply field. Related
+compiled provider/service modules and catalog metadata were byte-identical to
+baseline main `180ba03bf` at the initial source freeze. This does not prove
+arbitrary function introspection equivalence: custom
+`.listener` properties and raw wrapper re-registration retain the limitations
+documented in [Electron observation](../electron-observation.md).
+
+## Unchanged real application and observed scenario
+
+Official [draw.io Desktop 32.4.1](https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/tag/v32.4.1)
+AppImage SHA-256 is
+`c687a9f1ddcaa146b78547452d264c03c2afcf125639cba5deeb65f3e9554c9e`;
+both the release asset digest and published checksum file match. Its unchanged
+62,941,673-byte ASAR is
+`e64b9650c0b8241ca9a7d33b56386a385bceee63270cec701d3a467347b697e6`.
+Complete accompanying resources were extracted; no application source was edited.
+
+Public fuse inspection reports the official executable's Inspector fuse disabled.
+No vendor Inspector attempt was made. The following trials explicitly select
+generic Electron **44.7.0**, Xvfb and fresh profiles; they establish no packaged
+runtime compatibility.
+
+The real renderer initially displays an **Invalid file data** dialog. A public
+CLI startup smoke and independent DOM/argv probes preserve this failure, tracked
+separately in [#4494](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4494). Its exact cause
+is not proven. Two attempts to click a palette item without handling the dialog
+timed out and were cancelled; they remain failed diagnostics. An initial helper
+also incorrectly queried `application.process()` after transport closure; the
+corrected helper retains the original ChildProcess handle instead.
+
+The final scenario uses declared REA clicks to dismiss that actual error and
+insert a visible palette item, then waits for rendering. Independent DOM reads
+confirm SVG elements **0 → 2**, disappearance of the error and the real unsaved
+changes indicator. The verifier exercises the real app callbacks and channels;
+the production hook wraps their registration as described above.
+The source also registers `app-load-finished` through both `once` and `on`;
+recording its once callback twice adds a spurious event.
+
+## Initial fixed-source ABBA observations
+
+Verifier/source revision is `d02cc934c`; its hashes were recorded before all four
+trials. Baseline is main `180ba03bf`. The same script, runtime, artifact and
+declared actions run in the order baseline, candidate, candidate, baseline.
+
+| Variant/run | IPC events | `app-load-finished` | SVG change | Pipeline wall s | Family CPU s | Peak cgroup bytes |
+| ----------- | ---------- | ------------------- | ---------- | --------------- | ------------ | ----------------- |
+| Baseline 1  | 8          | 3                   | 0 → 2      | 11.084          | 6.270053     | 560,615,424       |
+| Candidate 1 | 7          | 2                   | 0 → 2      | 11.135          | 6.395461     | 550,383,616       |
+| Candidate 2 | 7          | 2                   | 0 → 2      | 11.898          | 6.907123     | 525,631,488       |
+| Baseline 2  | 8          | 3                   | 0 → 2      | 11.469          | 6.526674     | 558,456,832       |
+
+Every declared action completed, every insertion oracle passed, and no verifier
+deadline fired. Every provider returned `cleanup_failed`; the captures remain
+partial/failed, including possible dirty-editor teardown and the known Linux
+ownership gap [#4282](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4282). Baseline 2 also
+reports Xvfb temporary-directory cleanup failure (payload exit 5). Its directory
+identity was not captured; no broad path-based deletion was attempted.
+
+Runs are serial on CPU 10 with one-CPU quota, 8 GiB hard memory, 6 GiB early
+stop, no swap and 192 tasks. Counters cover the cgroup family at payload exit
+while the observer remains alive; they are **not final whole-scope counters**.
+Memory includes file cache, not RSS. Some scopes still contain Xvfb at that
+point; all recorded scopes were later independently confirmed inactive/dead.
+External recovery does not establish provider cleanup.
+
+OS/build caches are uncontrolled; these are first/repeat fresh-process runs,
+not verified cold/warm system pairs. Two samples per variant and a cleanup-bound
+failed workflow cannot establish a speedup. Token billing, peak agent context,
+complete schema/call costs and actual MCP-wire parity are unmeasured. Fewer
+events alone do not establish lower token cost.
+
+Full static checks passed (two tasks, no cache hits): 89.441 s wall,
+88.630288 family CPU s and 4,337,172,480 peak cgroup bytes, with no OOM.
+Documentation checks also passed (6 tasks plus five README consistency cases).
+The [selected JSON record](electron-ipc-listeners-2026-10-16.json) retains exact
+source/input identities, failed attempts, coverage, IPC and resource receipts.
+Historical diagnostic helper hashes were not captured and remain explicitly
+unknown; the frozen hash is not assigned to them retrospectively.
+
+## Reproduction
+
+Build both pinned checkouts. Under the existing resource observer and a private
+Xvfb instance, use the committed helper for each runtime root in ABBA order:
+
+```sh
+node experiments/analysis-efficiency/drawio-electron-lifecycle.mjs \
+  --runtime-root /absolute/pinned-checkout \
+  --executable /absolute/electron-44.7.0/electron \
+  --application /absolute/drawio/resources/app.asar \
+  --profile-root /absolute/temporary-profiles --dismiss-error \
+  --selector '.geSidebar a.geItem:visible >> nth=0'
+```
+
+The helper returns failure on incomplete provider cleanup. This shared-service
+probe does not establish successful public CLI/MCP workflows. App images,
+extractions/profiles and full Result files are regenerable and excluded from Git.
+
+## Review follow-up: normalization before app decorators
+
+Fresh review of `f3bb9b9ed` found that translation inside a patched
+`removeListener` happened after an application's outer decorator had already
+seen the recording wrapper. Two native controls reproduced this with stable and
+replaced decorators (17 passed, two failed).
+
+`c8c494b5c` delegates the original Node traversal through a private forwarding
+receiver. It shares the real emitter's live state and translates owned `on`
+entries **before** invoking the current application removal method. App methods
+and getters receive the real emitter; read-only method properties remain valid.
+Native once entries pass unchanged. The public `removeListener`/`off` patches
+are removed. Five decorator variants pass: stable, replaced, read-only, getter
+and Proxy.
+
+An additional mutation case proved that reading a changed public `.listener`
+getter before delegation also changed deletion timing (22 passed, one failed).
+Final source `5a094a0df` retains canonical removal targets in the weak owner
+registry. Only unchanged data links are translated; changed getters run when
+Node performs removal, preserving the exception and state transition. All
+**23 cases** pass, including the original retention/fatal-error coverage.
+
+The same frozen draw.io verifier was reused. The follow-up ABBA attempt ran
+its first baseline, then the resource launcher refused the other three requests
+because 8 GiB plus its 4 GiB host reserve was unavailable. Those are **not
+executed**, with no performance measurements. The final source was separately
+admitted and completed dialog recovery and insertion with seven IPC events;
+overall cleanup still failed, and Xvfb teardown also returned an error. No new
+completed-task speedup or cold/warm pair is claimed.
+
+Final static checks passed: two uncached tasks, 135.173 s wall, 133.786166 family
+CPU s and 4,274,634,752 peak cgroup bytes, no OOM. The JSON record appends exact
+source pins, denial logs, final real-app/public cleanup diagnostics and checks
+under `review_followup`; the initial records were not overwritten.
+
+## Callback invocation and remaining raw-metadata limitation
+
+Source `514b73b78` invokes `handle` callbacks through captured `Reflect.apply`,
+preserving the receiver and actual arguments without reading an app-defined
+`.call` property. The added direct-call control and hook case pass; all **24
+IPC regressions** pass (3.661 s wall, 3.404 family CPU s, 318,291,968 peak cgroup
+bytes, no OOM). This is a Node boundary check, not a real Electron handle claim.
+
+An initial three-case experiment incorrectly assumed native EventEmitter avoided
+callable method-property reads. Its `on` and `once` controls themselves failed;
+they do not demonstrate hook regressions. The attempted intrinsic event-call
+change was reverted and those invalid cases removed. Both failed runs remain
+in `callable_followup`; no successful result is assigned to them.
+
+The same unchanged draw.io verifier at this source completes actual dialog
+recovery and shape insertion, with seven IPC events, SVG elements 0 → 2 and an
+unsaved-changes indicator. Overall provider cleanup still fails. Pipeline wall
+time is 12.610 s, family CPU 7.062834 s and peak cgroup memory 634,187,776 bytes;
+there is no paired performance or token claim. All recorded scopes were later
+independently inactive/dead, which does not establish provider cleanup.
+
+Fresh review also found a distinct remaining metadata case: changing a raw
+recording wrapper's writable `.listener` property can make an app decorator
+reject removal. A production-hook/native-Node probe reproduces this (plain:
+removed; hook: decorator throws and one listener remains). Exact reproduction
+and the ownership conflict are tracked in [#4513](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4513).
+No affected real app has been identified. Removing the descriptor guard alone
+does not make native removal match the mutated wrapper; temporarily rewriting
+public app metadata would add further visible mutations. This limitation is
+explicit in the observation guide and is not represented as fixed by this PR.
+
+Current-source static checks also pass: two uncached tasks, 92.912 s wall,
+92.031383 family CPU s and 4,340,375,552 peak cgroup bytes, no OOM.
+
+## Native single/array dispatch follow-up
+
+Fresh review of `6fc2d2769` identified that the earlier native controls covered
+only one listener. Node 24.18.0 reads `.apply` during single-listener dispatch,
+but invokes each callback intrinsically during array dispatch. Native `once`
+uses `.call` for zero arguments and `.apply` otherwise. Unconditional `.apply`
+in the observation helper changed two of those paths: a multi-listener callback
+could throw before later callbacks ran, and zero-argument once read the wrong
+property. Four explicit native controls reproduce two failures (26 passed,
+two failed), rather than assuming all callable-property reads should disappear.
+
+Source `e8d7e8f20` keeps one observation boundary. An `on` recording wrapper
+delegates direct calls intrinsically and forwards native `.apply` calls through
+its own nonenumerable method. Node selects the route; the hook does not inspect
+or copy listener storage. `once` preserves its native zero/nonzero-argument
+invocation. All **28 cases** pass, including the prior callback identity,
+retention, reentrant-removal and fatal-error coverage. `handle` remains intrinsic.
+
+The unchanged real draw.io verifier again completes dialog recovery and shape
+insertion, with seven IPC events, SVG elements 0 → 2 and the unsaved indicator.
+Overall provider cleanup still fails; no deadline fires. Its 12.290 s pipeline
+run is a validation observation, not a paired performance comparison. Exact
+source hashes, failures, resource measurements and post-scope states are appended
+under `native_dispatch_followup`; all previous records remain unchanged.
+The separate raw metadata limitation [#4513](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4513)
+remains open and is not represented as fixed.
+
+Final-source static checks pass: two uncached tasks, 171.430 s wall,
+169.139239 family CPU s and 4,091,392,000 peak cgroup bytes, no OOM.
+
+## Argument-list ownership follow-up
+
+Review of `23700fd2c` found two related representation errors. A raw callback's
+`.apply` accepts Arguments objects, other array-like objects, null or omitted
+argument lists; the recording helper assumed an Array. Native once also passes
+its actual Arguments object to a callback-defined `.apply`, whereas the hook
+passed a rest Array. Seven explicit native controls reproduce six failures
+(29 passed, six failed of 35).
+
+Source `a82d935ba` binds captured native Function apply to the method-forwarding
+function. JavaScript itself converts argument lists, treats null/undefined as
+empty and rejects invalid primitives before recording reads values. The
+array-like getter control is read exactly once. Once retains its actual
+Arguments object for invocation; recording alone takes an array slice. The
+captured slice helper is bound once, avoiding an extra helper-argument array
+on each invocation. No custom array-like parser or exception repair is added.
+
+All **35 cases** pass. The same frozen real draw.io verifier again completes
+dialog recovery and shape insertion with seven IPC events; no deadline fires,
+and overall provider cleanup still fails. Exact source identities, both failed
+boundaries, intermediate/final tests, resource costs and post-scope states are
+appended under `argument_list_followup`; previous records remain unchanged.
+
+Current-source static checks pass: two uncached tasks, 122.454 s wall,
+121.287057 family CPU s and 4,185,915,392 peak cgroup bytes, no OOM.
+The unchanged ASAR digest was checked again after the real-app trial.
+
+## Owned metadata and successful-Evidence verifier follow-up
+
+Fresh review of `41a513d99` found that `on` wrapper metadata used strict
+assignment. Native on does not write such metadata, so inherited Function or
+Object prototype setters/read-only fields could prevent registration only under
+capture. Four native controls fail before `5dcf79f29` (35 passed, four failed).
+The recording wrapper now defines its own data property directly; native once
+assignment behavior is retained. All **39 cases** pass.
+
+The verifier also incorrectly treated a successful Evidence envelope as a raw
+capture. Real cleanup failures had exercised only the separate partial path.
+`4a9a01f7a` reads successful `value.normalized_result` and preserves failed
+`error.partialObservation.capture`. The new
+`experiments/analysis-efficiency/drawio-electron-lifecycle-oracles.py` exercises
+the actual verifier with controlled success, partial cleanup, action failure,
+insertion failure and absent capture. The old verifier rejects valid successful
+Evidence before producing a summary; all five corrected controls pass.
+**These are controlled reply/exit checks, not real-provider evidence.**
+
+The corrected verifier was separately frozen before a real unchanged draw.io
+trial. Actual dialog recovery and shape insertion again complete with seven IPC
+events, no deadline and failed overall provider cleanup (pipeline 12.777 s).
+Success with real provider cleanup remains unverified. Earlier trials retain
+their earlier verifier hashes; the corrected hash is not assigned to them.
+Exact source pins, failed controls, resource costs and post-scope states are
+appended under `owned_metadata_and_verifier_followup` without replacing history.
+
+Final-source static checks pass: two uncached tasks, 99.992 s wall,
+98.956939 family CPU s and 4,237,795,328 peak cgroup bytes, no OOM.
+
+## Species-free recording and snapshot ownership
+
+Fresh review of `e2cf2d89b` found that slicing a rest Array invokes application
+`Array[Symbol.species]` before dispatch. The first control reproduced failed on
+dispatch (40 passed, one failed); once dispatch already used Arguments.
+Extending the check to retrieve the retained snapshot while the throwing getter
+remains installed exposed the same representation problem in snapshot maps
+(39 passed, two failed).
+
+Source `3141ac3f4` records from actual invocation frames while preserving native
+callback argument-list types: the method-based on path still passes an Array,
+and once passes Arguments. Group validation uses the existing recording loops
+without a filtered intermediate Array. Captured `Array.from` produces snapshots
+without species lookup, reading dropped-counter Maps directly rather than
+spreading them into another Array first. The initial **41 cases** pass, including both
+live snapshots under the throwing getter with zero getter reads.
+
+The frozen-source real unchanged draw.io operation again completes recovery and
+insertion with seven IPC events, no deadline and failed overall cleanup
+(pipeline 12.779 s). This does not establish that draw.io customizes species.
+The corrected verifier and its five previously passing controlled oracles are
+byte-identical to `4a9a01f7a`, so those unchanged oracle sources were reused.
+Exact hashes, failures, resource receipts and scope states are appended under
+`array_species_followup`; earlier records remain unchanged. There is no new
+completed-task performance or token/context claim.
+
+The native multiple-listener route was then included in the same live-species
+control: all **42 cases** pass. Only test coverage expanded; production hook
+and verifier bytes remain identical to `3141ac3f4`. Exact validation identities
+and the additional result are recorded under `all_native_dispatch_paths`.
+
+A fresh-profile real negative control omits `--selector` while retaining dialog
+recovery and the same 500 ms wait. SVG elements remain **0 → 0** and unsaved
+changes remain false; insertion gives **0 → 2** and unsaved true. This supports
+the operation oracle rather than attributing startup rendering to the click.
+The control also returns seven IPC events and failed provider cleanup. These
+are different tasks, not a performance pair or a model-cell-count proof.
+
+Final 42-case source validation includes two uncached static tasks passing in
+94.234 s wall, 93.308800 family CPU s and 4,406,538,240 peak cgroup bytes,
+with no OOM. These are verification costs, not an application speedup.
+
+## Opaque apply inputs and iterator-free snapshots
+
+Fresh review of `84d9cf5db` found two producing-boundary regressions: native
+array-like conversion replaced the argument-list object before a custom
+listener `.apply` received it, and `Array.from` snapshots consulted application
+iterators on retained arrays/Maps. Four exact-input native controls and two
+snapshot controls fail before correction (42 passed, six failed of 48).
+
+Source `e442ca27f` forwards custom `.apply` the original receiver and method
+arguments without interpreting its opaque list. Custom apply may transform
+arguments or skip callback execution, so the hook emits a bounded
+`ipc-observation-gap` timeline record with the known registration channel. It
+does not fabricate a main-event invocation, argument shapes or callback result.
+The shared result projection retains explicit uncertainty and counts dropped
+gaps through existing retention. The canonical timeline enum adds that kind;
+the captured-IPC subset does not. Native apply still performs its own conversion
+before an actual callback frame is observed.
+
+Snapshots now copy arrays through private null-prototype indexed views and
+counters through captured native Map traversal. Neither retained buffers nor
+counter Maps are exposed to application iterators; returned records and shape
+arrays remain independent copies. No cache, tool or normal-dispatch metadata
+is added. The raw-wrapper metadata limitation in #4513 remains unfixed.
+
+The focused hook/projection/actions gate passes **68 cases** (48 + 4 + 16).
+The separate MCP/schema gate passes **23 cases**: an actual SDK client receives
+the gap alongside ordinary IPC Evidence, and Ajv2020 validates the advertised
+converted output; all canonical tool schemas also pass their existing checks.
+These tests use controlled providers and establish no real-provider success.
+The verifier and its five controlled exit/summary oracles are hash-identical to
+the earlier passing source and are reused without another redundant run.
+
+## Unrelated CI baseline failure
+
+CI run `38935598884` tested synthetic merge `eedae92d406015895a6d0eced5035da1b9ead07a`
+(head `84d9cf5db`, base `9d940c2f2`). Two firmware cleanup tests failed; another
+shard was cancelled by fail-fast. A fresh, unmodified detached checkout of that
+exact base reproduces the same failures: **33 passed, two failed** in
+`tests/boundary/firmware/firmwareIntegration.test.ts`. Evidence is posted on
+[the PR](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pull/4389#issuecomment-6221054273) and
+[existing #4475](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4475#issuecomment-6221054775).
+This establishes that these failures predate the Electron changes; it does not
+resolve whether the firmware producer or its expectations need correction. No
+firmware code or assertions are changed here, and required CI is not bypassed.
+
+The first final-source real request fails before application launch because the
+previous `/tmp` runtime is absent. It is retained as an input-resolution failure,
+not a provider measurement. The cached Electron 44.7.0 archive is verified against
+the official release SHASUMS256 and extracted into a new owned task directory;
+its executable/archive digests are pinned before the next request. No target
+source, vendor fuse or scenario success requirement is changed.
+
+The recovered-runtime real operation completes all three declared actions:
+SVG elements **0 → 2**, unsaved changes true, seven IPC events, no deadline.
+Overall provider cleanup still fails. Current-source static validation passes
+two uncached tasks in **94.646 s wall, 93.878644 family CPU s and 4,300,570,624
+peak cgroup bytes**, no OOM. The initial static attempt's test-only SDK/Ajv type
+error is retained; parsing that boundary fixes it, and 12 affected client and
+projection cases pass again. `opaque_apply_and_iterator_followup` preserves all
+source pins, failures, resource receipts and independently checked scope states
+without replacing earlier measurements. Draw.io does not establish that real
+applications exercise the synthetic custom-apply/iterator cases.
+
+The final documentation gate also passes six tasks and five README consistency
+cases. Source and unchanged ASAR hashes are checked again after validation.
+
+## Borrowed apply receivers
+
+Fresh review of `7541a900c` supplied the borrowed custom-method case
+`raw.apply.call(g, emitter, list)`: the plain emitter runs `g`, while the hook
+hard-coded its registered callback as the method receiver. The same hard-coded
+receiver also affected borrowed native apply. Both native differential controls
+fail before correction (48 passed, two failed of 50).
+
+Source `da04465fe` maps only the hook wrapper itself to the original listener
+when forwarding custom apply; other method receivers pass unchanged. Native
+apply uses its actual receiver, preserving both ordinary wrapper recording and
+borrowed-call dispatch. The hook does not fabricate a registered callback
+invocation when another callable is selected. The method-forwarding boundary is
+corrected directly; no new helper, state, tool or schema is added. All **70**
+hook/projection/actions cases pass (50 + 4 + 16). Shared schema/client, projection
+and verifier/oracle sources are byte-identical to the prior passing versions,
+so their checks are reused by verified hash.
+
+CI run `38943919946` is confirmed by the successful build checkout log and Git
+parents to use merge `98c14dfc01fe4698a50eedc8b1cd1ac9cd03267d`
+(head `7541a900c`, main `4838f4449`). Its fifth shard fails the same two firmware
+cleanup tests as the unmodified `9d940c2f2` base control. The relevant firmware
+source/test and package paths have no changes between these main revisions.
+The REST PR `base.sha` remains stale at `2c7583599`; it is not used as the CI
+identity. No firmware code/assertion or required-check bypass is included.
+
+The frozen-source unchanged draw.io operation completes recovery/insertion
+again with seven IPC events, SVG **0 → 2**, unsaved changes true and failed
+overall provider cleanup. Pipeline: **12.038 s wall, 6.662295 family CPU s,
+598,835,200 peak cgroup bytes**. This remains a partial workflow, not a speedup
+claim. Final static checks pass two uncached tasks in **108.067 s wall,
+106.996233 family CPU s and 4,430,647,296 peak cgroup bytes**, no OOM.
+All prior measurements remain unchanged under `borrowed_apply_followup`.
+
+The final documentation gate also passes six tasks and five README consistency
+cases. Current source digests are checked again after validation.
+
+## Listener-owner intrinsic lifetime
+
+Fresh review of `f5b489c1b` found that late application replacement of
+`Object.defineProperty` prevents the hook's new wrapper properties from being
+created, while a plain native emitter still registers/invokes its callbacks.
+Inspection of this same new registration/removal owner found its other late
+property/constructor lookups. Seven independent native controls replace
+`Object.defineProperty`, `Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor`, `Object.create`,
+`Reflect.get`, `Reflect.set`, global `Set` or global `Proxy`; each fails before
+correction (50 passed, seven failed of 57). The controls include both on/once
+execution and complete removal, with globals restored after the scenario.
+
+Source `a9c5611d0` captures the owner's descriptor/property operations and private
+constructors before application startup. The private receiver uses a direct
+null-prototype object literal instead of looking up Object.create. All **77**
+hook/projection/actions cases pass (57 + 4 + 16). Application-owned callback
+methods and actual receivers retain their existing semantics. No tool, schema,
+state, target authority or general-purpose hardening layer is introduced; this
+is not complete JavaScript introspection equivalence. Unchanged schema/client,
+projection and verifier/oracle checks are reused by verified source hashes.
+
+The preceding CI run `38946503183` tests confirmed merge
+`fcd7a9d92a2e64d6eb96d4fabfed7fc7f44b0d45` (head `f5b489c1b`, main `4838f4449`).
+Its 36 jobs finish with 29 successes, the same two firmware failures causing
+three failed jobs including summaries, and four fail-fast cancellations. The
+fifth-shard log again names the two cases reproduced on untouched main. No
+firmware code/assertions or required checks are altered.
+
+Frozen-source real unchanged draw.io actions complete again with seven IPC
+events, SVG **0 → 2**, unsaved changes true, no deadline and failed overall
+provider cleanup. Pipeline wall is **11.429 s**. Observed payload-exit cgroup
+counters are 6.441029 CPU s and 550,363,136 peak bytes, but the observer still
+sees one additional scope descendant: **family resource observation is
+unverified**, not a complete-family performance measurement. The scope is later
+inactive/dead after external recovery; this does not verify provider cleanup.
+No identity or cleanup cause is inferred from the remaining PID.
+
+Final static checks pass two uncached tasks in **90.980 s wall, 90.119351 family
+CPU s and 4,338,749,440 peak cgroup bytes**, no OOM. Source identities, all seven
+failures and resource limitations are appended under `listener_intrinsics_followup`
+without replacing any previous measurements.
+
+The final docs gate passes six tasks and five README consistency cases; source
+digests are checked again after validation.
+
+## Private collection method lifetime
+
+Fresh review of `e6c373d0` found that replacing `WeakMap.prototype.has` after
+hook initialization still intercepts its private wrapper registry. Inspecting
+the same owner found analogous get/set and visited-Set has/add lookups. All five
+independent native controls fail before correction (57 passed, five failed of
+62); plain EventEmitter registration, on/once calls and complete removal succeed.
+
+Source `774ed6aa6` binds these private WeakMap/Set methods before application
+startup and reuses captured Set membership for event-family classification.
+One initialization-only binding helper replaces duplicated binding construction
+for existing Map traversal/argument slicing too. It adds no helper argument
+arrays per invocation, cache, schema, tool or target authority. Application-owned
+callback methods/receivers remain dynamic. All **82** hook/projection/actions
+cases pass (62 + 4 + 16). The previous seven global-binding controls also remain
+green, and unchanged schema/client/projection/verifier/oracle checks are reused
+by verified source hashes. Arbitrary introspection and #4513 remain unsupported.
+
+Frozen-source unchanged draw.io actions complete again with seven IPC events,
+SVG **0 → 2**, unsaved changes true and failed overall provider cleanup. Pipeline
+wall **11.238 s**; observed payload-exit cgroup CPU **6.285321 s**, peak
+**556,285,952 bytes**. Another scope descendant remains at payload exit, so complete-family resource observation is unverified. Later external scope teardown does not prove provider cleanup.
+
+Final static checks pass two uncached tasks in **92.999 s wall, 92.227652 family
+CPU s and 4,371,951,616 peak cgroup bytes**, no OOM. Preceding CI38949129899 checks
+confirmed e6c3 + main4838, repeats the same two firmware failures and finishes
+31 successful /3 failed jobs including summaries /2 fail-fast cancellations.
+Sources, failures and resource limitations are appended under
+`private_collection_methods_followup`; prior fields remain unchanged.
+
+The final docs gate passes six tasks and five README consistency cases; source
+digests are verified again afterward.
+
+## Unknown listener-chain ownership
+
+Fresh review of `0b4f2e81` found that the bounded Boolean chain test treats a
+still-unexamined function as fresh when 17 app decorators hide an owned once
+wrapper. Two emits then produce three invocation records for one actual once
+callback. The same unknown-as-fresh error affects accessor/Proxy links. Four
+native controls fail before correction (63 passed, four failed of 67); the
+16-decorator boundary already passes. A deep ordinary on control confirms
+missing ownership cannot justify fabricated captured IPC either.
+
+Source `ef46b8f0b` classifies metadata as owned, unowned or unknown. Bounded-walk
+exhaustion, accessor links and Proxies preserve native registration without
+adding another recording wrapper. Successful unknown registrations retain a
+bounded `listener-chain` gap; this is not proof of IPC delivery. An existing
+inner wrapper may still report its actual once invocation. Shared native
+data-descriptor parsing preserves accessor uncertainty at recognition/removal
+and avoids inherited descriptor-value interpretation. The superseded Boolean
+classification is removed.
+
+The shared projection explains both gap boundaries and retention/coverage, and
+an actual MCP SDK client receives custom-apply and listener-chain gaps alongside
+ordinary IPC Evidence, validated by its converted advertised schema. All **96**
+hook/projection/actions/MCP cases pass (67 + 5 + 16 + 8). A test-only lint length
+failure is corrected by generating repeated fixture rows from one table without
+relaxing rules; all **13** affected client/projection cases pass again. The
+canonical schema and unchanged verifier/five controlled oracle sources retain
+their earlier passing checks by verified hashes; the changed projection/client
+are freshly tested rather than claimed unchanged.
+
+Prior CI run `38951509761` uses confirmed merge
+`fa090a6bde3a5dadeb71066824477292520fb43b` (0b4f + mainf31b231a). All **36 jobs
+succeed**. The earlier unrelated firmware failures do not recur in this
+combination; their cause is not inferred or claimed fixed here. Current-source
+CI/review remain required. No firmware code/assertions were modified.
+
+Frozen-source unchanged draw.io recovery/insertion again completes with seven
+IPC events, SVG **0 → 2**, unsaved true, no deadline and failed overall provider
+cleanup. Pipeline wall **11.163 s**; observed payload-exit cgroup CPU **6.203177 s**,
+peak **547,418,112 bytes**. An extra scope descendant leaves complete-family
+resource observation unverified; later inactive/dead scope after external
+recovery does not establish provider cleanup.
+
+Final static checks pass two uncached tasks in **88.383 s wall, 87.726306 family
+CPU s and 4,399,632,384 peak cgroup bytes**, no OOM. All source identities, failed
+controls, corrected fixture-only lint failure and resource caveats are appended
+under `chain_ownership_followup`; historical fields are unchanged.
+
+Final docs validation passes six tasks and five README consistency cases;
+current source digests are verified again afterward.
+
+## Inherited listener-link coverage
+
+Fresh review of `ae2cd8d4` found that a missing own descriptor is not absence:
+an app decorator can inherit its data link to an owned once wrapper. Native
+removal follows that link and removes the decorator; the hook hid it under
+another recorder, left a listener installed and produced three invocation
+records for one callback. Five native inherited-link cases fail before correction
+(68 passed, five failed of 73): data/getter/Proxy prototypes and prototype
+depths16/17. A late Object.getPrototypeOf replacement control already passes.
+
+Source `e22ce9aaf` completes bounded native prototype lookup at the descriptor
+owner, capturing getPrototypeOf before startup. Data links retain their actual
+source value. A setter-only property has a known undefined read that shadows
+ancestors; a getter, Proxy or incomplete walk remains unknown. Missing metadata becomes absent only after the prototype chain ends; found
+properties retain native read/shadowing semantics. Registration and removal consume
+the same parsed descriptor, and redundant outer Proxy interpretation is removed.
+Neither existing resource bound is raised. All **102** hook/projection/actions/
+MCP cases pass (73 + 5 + 16 + 8). Projection/client are freshly tested unchanged
+sources; canonical schema and verifier/oracles retain prior checks by hash.

+
