The patient ask was not patient. With twelve seconds reserved for the evidence read, `max(CONNECT, probeBudget - REQUEST)` resolved to exactly CONNECT — the tolerant ask got the cheap ask's four seconds, and the grace loop's gate needed 19s of a budget that only ever held 11s, so it never ran at all. Both shipped green because mocked probes consume no wall clock, so the budget never binds in a test. Two arithmetic tests now compute against realistic elapsed time, which is where the defect actually lived. The reservation was backwards anyway. Evidence can only raise 'unknown' to an uncounted 'occupied', and both now hold the daemon, so the read changes a log line and nothing else — while starving the one probe whose counted answer still reaches preserveDaemon() and full daemon mode. It is opportunistic now: if the probes spent the clock, it is skipped and the verdict stays 'unknown', which holds exactly as an evidence-raised 'occupied' would have. Recovery was a one-way flip on a two-way condition. Once a health check promoted fresh spawns back to the daemon, nothing ever demoted them, so a daemon that wedged again cost a hello timeout plus a full launcher re-classification for every new terminal, for the rest of the session. A failed spawn now routes back and re-arms the cooldown. The class had no tests at all; it has six. The notice was wrong twice. It claimed terminals already open keep working — in held mode discovery runs over the same IPC the daemon is failing, so its sessions are never routed and attach refuses rather than answering on its behalf. They are running, but unreachable. And it named half the cost of Restart: runRestartDaemon shuts down the local fallback sessions too, so the terminals it had just called safe die as well. Also fixed: the amber-on-amber body text failed AA at 3.94:1, the keys were in a namespace no sibling uses, and the scale did not match the notice it renders beside. The banner armed a destructive button with state that never refreshed. It now refetches on focus, like the sibling notice that solved this first. Also: the launch mode type in the test harness omitted 'held', so no test could describe the launch the hold produces; held mode's routing through the degraded provider was unpinned, and deleting it left every test green; and pty:signal kept a try/catch for a synchronous throw that async routing cannot produce.
