Three respawn gates acted on evidence weaker than host-attested exit. Per docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md, loss of contact, a failed reattach, an identity mismatch and absence from a client map are all `unverifiable`, never `exited`. Gate 1 (ipc-pty-connect.ts): "belongs to SSH connection" is minted by the id router from a pure client-side string compare, before any relay is asked, and still returned `sessionExpired: true` -> fresh PTY + agent resume. After an SSH target re-adoption the "other" connection is the same machine, so that puts a second `claude --resume` on the transcript the surviving PTY still owns. Now returns undefined with no error, which routes the pane to recoverUnverifiableDirectSshReattach (remount + reattach, no shell restart) and keeps #7661's no-red-toast outcome. Gate 3 (ssh-reconnect-pane-retry.ts): `!tabPtyId` read `tab.ptyId`, which is only the single-pane fallback for legacy attach. It diverges from the real records deterministically: workspace-terminal-reconnect fills ptyIdsByTabId from the leaf map but writes tab.ptyId only when a tab-level id survives, and clearTransientTerminalState nulls tab.ptyId on every hydrated row. Both leave live leaf PTYs with a null fallback field, arming a generation bump onto the fresh-spawn path. Now consults ptyIdsByTabId and the layout leaf map too; a tab with no PTY in any record still retries. Gate 2 (recoverTerminalPane): an `expired` lease plus `!pty.connected` authorized createTerminal. Every writer of `expired` records that the CLIENT lost its route, not that the shell died. Now also requires the runtime's own liveness verdict to be neither `live` nor `unverifiable`, and ssh-relay-session records markPtyLivenessLive at the persistPtyBinding refusal, which is reached only after pty.attach succeeded. See the report for why this branch is currently unreachable for SSH panes.
