Follow-ups from the first Windows-rig validation of PR #7903: Link death: a mux protocol error or keepalive timeout could kill the host<->guest link while the guest relay stayed alive returning 204s — the manager stayed 'running' and every later envelope blackholed silently (the exact observed signature: Claude hooks POST 204, store never populates). wsl-hook-relay-link.ts now guarantees exactly-once death handling from either signal (mux dispose OR child exit); the manager breadcrumbs it, kills the child, and self-restarts after a short cooldown since a live agent session produces no new PTY spawns to re-trigger ensure. ORCA_WSL_HOOK_RELAY_DEBUG=1 traces each received envelope pre-ingest. A live integration test pins the full host chain: the real esbuild bundle over real child stdio through the real manager into a real AgentHookServer.ingestRemote, exact Claude POST shape. Codex: Orca launches WSL Codex with CODEX_HOME redirected to the managed runtime home (~/.local/share/orca/codex-runtime-home/home), so hooks installed to ~/.codex were never read. installRemote now accepts an explicit codex home (flat layout), threaded from the relay manager; the config.toml trust write is deferred while the file doesn't exist (the launch path seeds it only-if-absent — creating it first would cancel the seed), and the manager re-runs the byte-equality-idempotent installers on later ensures (30s throttle) to upsert trust once the seed lands. Also: WSL test suites now run on Windows dev hosts (fs-backed suites skip with rig coverage noted; manager suite uses a fixed POSIX home). Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>
