Legacy worker recovery now retires a worker only on the owning provider's readback, but `SshPtyProvider` had none, so the runtime controller answered null for every `ssh:` id and absence was permanently unverifiable. An SSH worker whose shell died while Orca was closed has no exit event and recovery is its only settler, so it deferred on a 30 s backoff forever: the pane stayed fenced, the dispatch stayed dispatched, and the Task could not be re-opened. Removing a false `exited` had left no path to a true one. The relay can answer, because a PTY id already carries the mint epoch of the relay process that allocated it. `pty.listProcesses` is that relay's live set: it reaps a torn-down record and re-probes the pid before reporting. So an unlisted id whose mint epoch is the relay's current one is an exit this host observed, while an unlisted id from any other epoch is the restart case that was never evidence. `pty.getCapabilities` gains the epoch as an additive field so the comparison holds even when the relay now lists nothing, which is the reported case; a relay that omits it leaves every absence unverifiable, as today. Deliberately not `pty.attach`, the only refusal carrying the proven-exited marker: a successful attach opens a delivery, retires the previous one, and restores retired pane surfaces, so probing with it would disturb a live consumer in precisely the case where the answer is "live". The certification suite's PTY ids were not parseable SSH ids, so it claimed coverage of the population that regressed and drove none of it. They are real ids now, with two cases running the recovery branch through this probe.
