brennanb2025andOrca 28537ec9de fix(agent-hooks): adversarial-review hardening for the WSL hook relay (STA-1515)
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.
