* fix(wsl-host): uninstall and startup release the WSL distro holders Orca left running The detached wsl.exe holder outlives the app, so an uninstall left its distro, orcad and shells running. The uninstaller now runs Orca with --orca-uninstall-release-wsl-holders after killing the app and its daemon; it ends only the holders this profile recorded, each verified by pid, start time and command line, and keeps any it cannot verify. At startup the WSL host service now releases holders whose distro is no longer a host (a failed add or remove), and every holder while WSL hosts are off; a closed gate releases them too. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(wsl-host): a Remove that can't prove the server stopped keeps the host, pending A partial Remove dropped the host anyway, leaving a server whose live terminals block the next add's activation. Remove now drops the host only on a proven stop; otherwise it records a pending stop on the WSL record, keeps the host listed and says why (live or unverifiable). Remove again retries without ever booting a stopped distro (it says to start it); Connect or Add on the same distro keeps the host; a distro that is no longer registered finishes. Nothing reconnects a pending host on its own. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(wsl-host): E11 review — keep holders when records are unreadable; finish removals a stopped or renamed distro proves - Startup keeps every holder when the WSL host records can't all be read (unverifiable), and no longer re-adopts a pending host's holder. - Remove matches a renamed distro by GUID (isWslDistroRegistered), and a stopped distro finishes a pending Remove: the cold probe proves the stop. - Only the user's Connect or Add withdraws a pending Remove; other connects are refused, and re-adding respects startIfStopped. - Settings' Remove carries the kept result, so it warns instead of 'Removed'. - A holder record without a start time is never killed on its command line alone, except the one this process just spawned. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(wsl-host): E11 review 2 — a closed gate keeps live hosts' holders; stop a renamed distro by its current name - With the gate closed, a launch releases only orphan holders (no host record, or a pending Remove), under the same keep rule as startup; a user with no holder records costs one folder check, nothing else. - The keep rule re-reads host records per holder and keeps an Add in flight. - Remove resolves the distro's current name from its GUID and stops it there. - The uninstall command arms its exit timer first and exits 1 if setup throws; NSIS launches it only when a userData holder folder exists. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(wsl-host): never boot a host whose Remove is pending at the next launch Early wake built its host list from every record, so a host focused when its Remove ended pending was booted at each launch, undoing the stop's proof. It now skips pending records, and Remove forgets the host's early wake whatever the outcome. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(wsl-host): no wake for a pending host; the e2e fake stops an unbridged server like the real one - mayWake skips a host whose Remove is pending, so a due automation can't boot it (focus already couldn't). - The e2e fake connector read a host with no bridge as stopped. Since E9 a re-enable connects nothing, so Remove after off/on left the host's shells running. Like the real connector, it now reconnects the always-running fake distro to stop its server. - Status bookkeeping moves to WslHostStatusBoard, and the pending-host connect rule to admitConnectToPendingHost, to keep the service under max-lines.
