Four independent review lenses over the branch; all confirmed findings fixed before the next rig round: Endpoint identity (4/4 reviewers): the guest endpoint dir was keyed by the EPHEMERAL Windows hook port, so a daemon-surviving agent kept sourcing the dead port-P1 file after an Orca restart — breaking the restart-resume acceptance criterion and regressing shipped OMP recovery. Now keyed by a restart-stable instance key (hash of the Windows endpoint file path, crossed via ORCA_WSL_HOOK_INSTANCE): the restarted instance's relay rewrites the SAME file, which is exactly what re-coordinates survivors. Restart policy: every failure arms the restart timer (one failed relaunch no longer ends self-recovery), and the timer probes wsl --list --running first — wsl -d BOOTS a stopped distro, so recovery must never resurrect a VM the user shut down; stopped-distro state is dropped instead. Failure counters reset only after 2min of stable uptime, so connect-then-die loops escalate to the 10-min cap instead of cycling every 10s. Timer policy extracted to wsl-hook-relay-recovery.ts with direct tests. Also: version-namespaced guest install dir (dev+prod instances no longer reinstall over each other; PID-suffixed tmp files), 30s install timeout (a wedged wsl.exe could pin the state machine at 'starting' forever), per-candidate node version probing (apt node 12 on PATH no longer masks nvm node 20 into a false no-node cooldown), WSL_UTF8=1 + NUL-stripped stderr (catastrophic-failure matcher survives UTF-16LE), ordered post-sentinel chunk handoff, port-fallback breadcrumb via the home handshake, bad home reply now fails the connect, missing-bundle warn-once, case-normalized distro keys, disposeAll wired to will-quit, one-shot 60s reinstall timer for single-spawn Codex trust catch-up, escaped + contract-derived spawn command.
