Adversarial review of the previous commit found a case where it is worse than the bug it fixes, and it is the exact inverse of what that commit reasoned about. The model reports alternateScreen from bytes it consumed, and it never consumes the outage. So if a full-screen app EXITS during the disconnect — an agent finishes, a command ends, the process dies — the model still says alternate. The gate then painted a frozen frame of an application that no longer exists and, via the else-if chain, discarded the replay carrying the shell's real output. Frozen and wrong beats fragments, which were at least current bytes. The replay is the only witness to the outage, so it now gets a veto: its last 47/1047/1049 transition, if any, outranks the model's belief. Leaving reset means the frame is gone and the tail wins; re-entering means the model is right after all. Same review found the width-mismatch guard drops the alt frame and leaves a cleared screen for the app to repaint — free for a park with no tail to lose, but here it meant discarding a usable one for a blank pane, so that degrades too. Both vetoes are skipped when there is no replay, where they would only trade a stale frame for an empty one. Extracted as sshReconnectPaintsFromModel rather than more inline ternary, because every interesting case is a disagreement between a stale belief and a replay — awkward to stage end-to-end, trivial to state as a table. 14 unit tests, including the two that fail against the previous commit. The e2e comment is corrected in the same spirit: top redraws itself, so it never discriminated the paint source and should not have claimed to. Also from the review: the kitty flag stack was left stale on this path, since the app's pushes during the outage exist only in the replay we discard — scanned now, after the snapshot so the outage layers on the pre-outage baseline. And the consume-once comment asserted an invariant that does not exist; followsDirectSshReconnect is a const captured per connect, bounded by connectStarted and the gates rather than by the read. Corrected rather than restructured. Known and NOT fixed, because it predates this work and is a behavior change of its own: the model probe is gated on the terminalSshViewParking kill switch, so turning off view parking also silently disables this repaint. Defaults on.
