`status === 'error'` was treated as settled on the claim that an error keeps the last successful read in `messages`. That only holds for an error that lands on top of an earlier read. The host forwards an initial-drain failure as an error frame carrying an EMPTY list (transcript-watch-error.test.ts), the mobile frame applier checks `frame.error` before the messages array so those rows are discarded, and the session hook's error path never calls `setMessages` — so a first-read error leaves `messages` at the `[]` the identity-change effect wrote. That frame is also not terminal: the watcher keeps `initialDrain` true and a real snapshot follows once the read recovers. So a re-subscribe whose first read errors made the never-populated list read as "no ask", retired the live dismissal, and the recovered snapshot brought the answered card back over the composer — the exact resurfacing this guard exists to close, and most likely on remote/SSH transcript reads. Require rows for the error case. Rows can only be present once a read landed, so the predicate is never wrong in the resurfacing direction; it only declines to retire a dismissal when the transcript was never observed. Also drop the dismiss hook's `detectedAsk = ask` default and make both prompts required. That default silently fed the gated prompt in as the detected one, which is the pre-fix behavior: a paused-out card would read as "prompt gone" and retire the dismissal. tsc now enforces the ungated payload at every call site instead of leaving a trap for the next caller.
