The kernel's stall exit fired on "not live", which includes every unverifiable
arm — all of which are absence — contradicting the safety floor and the recovery
table. It now names the positive signals (exited liveness, the worker's own
observation of exit, a final agent turn with no worker_done) and states that
unverifiable never authorizes stop, abandon, retry, or release. Also corrects the
projection.* field paths the worker-list row actually nests.
D1: name the two liveness layers (worker-list projection.liveness is the fleet
verdict, worker-show observation.status is PTY-only) and give the supervised
loop a bounded stall procedure instead of an unbounded wait.
D2: put worker-list, attention, requiresAction and nextAction in the loop and in
completion accounting.
D4: document request-show / --retry-request / terminal send --wait-submit.
D5: check names its caller with --terminal, never --from.
D7: give a dispatched worker a concrete follow-up read cadence.
D10: document the real folder-workspace route (project setup-existing-folder).
worker-start --spec is now the canonical loop's default.
Guidance pins are contracts via squash() instead of reflow-fragile prose.
