* fix(agent-hooks): stop startup from deleting another instance's managed hooks (STA-5679) Startup reconciliation removed the managed agent hooks whenever THIS profile had the agent-status-hooks off switch set. The hook files it removes are user-global (~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.cursor/hooks.json), so a second Orca profile with the switch off deleted the hooks every other running instance depends on. Cursor is the only agent with no title-derived status fallback: its native title is deliberately parsed as status-less, so a hookless Cursor pane is floored at 'idle' rather than showing a spinner. A global hook wipe therefore surfaces as "Cursor loading status missing from the sidebar" while Claude and Codex still paint status from their own titles, which is why this reads as a Cursor-only bug. Codex is unaffected either way because its hooks live in an Orca-owned runtime home. Honoring the off switch only requires skipping the install; removal stays on the explicit Settings toggle, which is the user-initiated path that should own it. Regression from #2778, which restored the destructive startup branch. * fix(cli-tests): stop the deferral suite deleting the developer's real agent hooks runtime-client-deferral.test.ts runs the REAL `main()` and feeds it `agent hooks off`. It mocks only ./runtime/environments and ./runtime-client, so the production handler ran end to end: updateEnabledOnDisk() wrote its state file and applyAgentStatusHooksEnabled(false) called removeManagedAgentHooks() against the developer's OWN ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.cursor/hooks.json. A green test run therefore deleted every Orca-managed hook on the machine. Agent status then stopped reporting until the next Orca restart reinstalled them — silently, because the hook POSTs still return 204 and Cursor has no title-derived status fallback at all. The byte-for-byte equivalence twin already refuses these exact tokens, commented "MUTATING — writes outside ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH (`agent hooks off` parks the real ~/.claude hooks)". The vitest twin never got that guard. Stub the hook-controls module rather than dropping the row: `agent hooks off` is the only case in the table that reads ctx.client, so it carries the null-vs-undefined coverage the other four cannot. All 23 tests still pass, and a sandboxed HOME now keeps its hooks (5 -> 5) where it previously lost them (5 -> 0). * fix(cli-tests): ratchet agent hook deferral safety * fix(agent-hooks): keep startup reconciliation install-only
