* fix(terminal): verify Windows PTY root identity before taskkill /T /F
killWithDescendantSweep guarded its Windows tree kill with ownsRoot()
alone, which is JS state only. node-pty's ConPTY exit watcher closes the
last shell handle before it queues the JS exit callback, so Windows can
recycle the PID while the session map still looks live — force-killing an
unrelated process and its whole descendant tree.
Walk the recycled PID's ancestry back to this process before taskkill:
skip the sweep when the root is gone or resolves to a stranger, and keep
the sweep when identity is unknown so #10004 orphan cleanup still runs.
Also gate the local provider's ownsRoot on observed physical exit.
* fix(terminal): dedupe the Windows root-identity scan, drop dead exit gate
Review fixes on the PID-identity guard.
The probe read the process table through a new uncached export, bypassing
the reader that worktree teardown depends on: worktree-teardown.ts fans out
32-wide inside a 10s deadline, so a delete forked 32 powershell cold-starts
(the churn windows-foreground-process-rows.ts:25-32 warns about, #6288/#6667).
getFreshSnapshot() already guarantees a scan that starts after the request --
the exact property the bypass existed for -- and coalesces concurrent callers,
so use it. Measured on the new test: 32 scans -> 1.
The PhysicalExitTracker.hasExited gate could never fire. markExited() is only
reached at local-pty-provider.ts:985/:1431, and both are followed synchronously
by clearPtyState(), which deletes the ptyProcesses entry -- so ownsRoot's map
check is already false whenever hasExited is true. Reverting it broke no test.
Drop it and the shared getter it added; the identity probe already covers every
ownsRoot caller from inside killWithDescendantSweep.
Also point the Windows terminal-restart E2E job at the files that own this
behavior, so a change to the new Windows-only module runs the one job that
executes on a real Windows host.
* docs(terminal): state what the Windows root probe actually proves
The probe checks subtree membership, not root identity: a recycle that lands
on another Orca descendant (another pane's shell, an agent CLI, a git.exe we
spawned) still reads `own`, and that is not remote during teardown when Orca
is itself allocating pids. It bounds the blast radius rather than closing the
class. Say so at the type and at classifyWindowsTreeKillTarget, and name what
a real close would need (a CreationDate baseline -- the analogue of the POSIX
lstart check already used here -- or an inherited handle / Job Object).
Also note why our own pid must classify `foreign`.
* ci(windows): trigger the terminal-restart E2E on the shared snapshot reader
The Windows root-identity probe now reads through getFreshSnapshot, so an edit
to that module changes Windows teardown behavior without touching any path the
job already watches.
* test(terminal): guard the teardown probe against a reintroduced scan bypass
The existing volume guard covers queryWindowsProcessRowsFresh directly, but the
identity-probe cases all inject readRows, so nothing exercised the DEFAULT
reader wiring -- a bypass reintroduced inside windows-pty-root-identity would
have gone unnoticed. Drive verifyWindowsTreeKillTarget 32-wide through the real
reader and assert one scan. Verified it fails at 32 when the bypass is put back.
