* fix(terminal): keep unresolved snapshot-capability verdicts re-askable A daemon that could not answer the snapshot-capability probe within the ~91s startup ladder had its ptys settled 'no authoritative snapshot' permanently: settled ids were excluded from every later synchronization, and the only refresh callers run during renderer startup. Because the eviction-exemption predicate treats absent/unknown capability as exempt, one slow daemon start converted every local pty into a permanently eviction-exempt tab — the hidden-worktree retention budget could free nothing for the rest of the session (its own degenerate-case log: 'retention force-park freed no panes'). Three changes, none touching the safety direction (unknown still means exempt, panes stay mounted): - The retry ladder now decays to a slow 5-minute re-ask instead of a permanent verdict, so a recovered daemon is consulted again without any event wiring; the synchronization loop's existing timer carries it. - The ongoing collector now gathers the same fields the startup refresh does (layouts, pending reconnect ids), keyed on the sorted id set — synchronization prunes cached verdicts outside its collected ids, so the narrower collector could evict valid split-leaf answers back into the exempt-by-default state. - The degenerate-case log now carries per-route exemption counts (fail-open / foreign-worktree / capability-unknown / split-pane) and a matching crash breadcrumb, so field bundles can say which route dominates instead of a fourth investigation. Guard: exemption flips are a pin-unreachable input to the rendered park verdict, so capability verdicts must only change between commits — the new react185 harness force-parks a worktree, lets pane mounts write layouts/titles, flips capability repeatedly, and asserts every flip settles far from React's nested-update limit. Gates (previously red): a recovered resolver is re-consulted and the exemption clears; retained mounted tabs stay bounded by the retention limit as hidden worktrees accumulate after daemon recovery. Scope honesty: this bounds an unbounded-by-design retention residual; it is NOT the fix for the unexplained multi-GB field OOM cluster, whose retainer remains unidentified (field sessions crash with <= 1 mounted manager). * test(terminal): pin the widened capability collector and breadcrumb route buckets Review found two unpinned pieces of the re-settlement fix: reverting the ongoing collector to the narrow field set (dropping split-leaf layout and pending-reconnect ptys, which the sync would then prune back to exempt unknown) survived every existing test, and the force-park breadcrumb's route counters had no coverage at all. Both mutations now fail. * perf(terminal): memoize the capability collect key on its four store maps The widened collector ran collect+sort+join on every Terminal render and the memo-dep completeness was unpinned. Memoize the key on the four map identities (behavior-identical; the string-keyed second memo still damps layout-only churn) and pin the layouts dep with a staleness test — a missing dep silently drops new split-leaf ptys from the sync. * fix(terminal): keep a superseded capability pass's re-ask chain alive Review loop 2: a synchronization pass cancelled by a newer generation returned null, which ends the caller's timer chain — but the winner (the startup refresh) ignores its own return value, so unknowns it leaves behind had no scheduler left; recovery then waited on an id-set change. Return 0 instead: the superseded chain re-checks immediately and the early-outs collapse the re-check when nothing is pending. Also pin the collect-key memo's remaining deps at runtime (pending reconnect, tabs, pty ids) — exhaustive-deps is only a warn here, and loop 1's staleness test covered the layouts dep alone. * test(terminal): pin the same-identity re-ask path and closed-pty retry prune Review loop 3: mutation testing showed the chain's own re-ask path was unpinned — collapsing the first early-out to identity-only (returning null whenever the live-set reference is unchanged) passed every test, yet it kills the timer chain after one backoff: the hook refires with the SAME memoized array, so that mutation is the settled-forever bug in a worse shape. Pin it at both levels: a module test drives two passes over one array identity, and a hook test drives the real timer chain through a backoff refire with no id churn. Also pin the closed-pty retry prune (its removal survived the battery): the empty-set pass must return null — a leaked entry keeps a phantom 5-minute timer for the session — and a reappeared id must restart the 1s ladder rather than resume the decayed cadence. * fix(terminal): apply recovered snapshot capabilities * test(terminal): remove stale lint suppression * test(terminal): clean up capability prefetch hook
