#18304 decided enumerability after `lsof` runs, keying on stderr, non-numeric output, and an abnormal exit. One failure carries none of those signals: probing as a uid that does not own the socket's holder, `lsof -t -a -U <path>` exits 1 with no stdout and no stderr. Measured on Debian 12 against #18304's own probe, a live relay owned by root probed as `nobody`: probe uid path marker pids merged nobody held.sock lsof [] <- live relay holds it merged nobody stale.sock lsof [] <- genuinely nobody merged root held.sock lsof [10] merged root stale.sock lsof [] The first two rows are byte-identical, so nothing about lsof's answer can separate them. The first reaches `verdict: exited / evidence: no-holder`, which `classifySupersededRelay` maps to `stale-endpoint-removed` and `rm -f` on an inode a live relay is still holding. `hidepid=2` produces the same shape. A positive control does not solve this. Controlling on something the probe itself holds passes precisely when we are blind: as `nobody`, `lsof -t -p $$` returns a pid while the socket query returns nothing. Blindness is to *other* uids, and another uid's process is not ours to manufacture. /proc/net/unix is. It is world-readable and lists every bound unix socket regardless of owner, so an entry for the path alongside no reported pid proves lsof was blind rather than that the path is free. Only an otherwise-clean empty answer is corroborated; a reported pid still stands on its own, and the check is skipped when the answer was already unavailable. Same run, with this change: fixed nobody held.sock unavailable [] <- no longer reapable fixed nobody stale.sock lsof [] <- still reapable fixed root held.sock lsof [10] <- unchanged fixed root stale.sock lsof [] <- unchanged The marker can only ever move from `lsof` toward `unavailable`, so this never authorises an unlink that #18304 refuses. Off Linux there is no /proc/net/unix, the check returns false, and behaviour is exactly as before -- deliberately, because defaulting to `unavailable` there would stop every macOS host from reaping a stale endpoint and trade a rare destructive bug for a universal accumulation one. The tests are Linux-gated for the same reason, with an assertion that the evidence they depend on is actually present so the block cannot pass vacuously.
