* perf(ci): reduce test overhead and reuse expensive build work
* test(ci): keep worker startup outside failure-case deadlines
* test: isolate push fixture advisory locks
* test(ci): preserve fixed drain retry allowance
* Align CI contracts with current triggers and guide content
* Stabilize consolidated reveal scenarios and retain behavioral CI contracts
* Fix upstream lint blockers while retaining behavior and assertions
* Classify global Jira preferences in the WSL migration inventory
* Align Jira test fixtures with startup and build safety checks
* Include package-test routing dependency in CI checkouts and fixtures
* Keep native stream classes intact in transcript dependency tests
Extract subprocess execution and process contracts into @orca/process-host with explicit public entry points, independent checks, and one Node 18 compatible CommonJS runtime. Migrate application consumers and integrate package builds, dependency selection, import enforcement, and runtime resource staging.
Preserve daemon startup ownership and profile isolation, and qualify development rebuild recovery and concurrent output publication. Remove unnecessary aliases, test forwarding exports, and a duplicate output scan.
Validation: full typechecks, changed-code quality, package and artifact checks, native Windows builds/types plus 306 runtime tests, and independent native reviews.
Matched full E2E controls on original main and unchanged reviewed head both pass all 17 applicable tests (nine skips). Earlier intermittent E2E failures are documented in the PR; no assertions were weakened. The final combined-tree audit preserves both branches with no import-boundary violations.
