Switching a Codex tab to structured chat failed from every desktop entry point with "The agent terminal could not verify its Codex session." `adoptStructuredAgentSessionTerminal` typed `/status` into the pane through `writeAgentSessionProof`, which `agentSessionPtyWriteGate.admitProof` admits only for a reservation that already names the session, `tui`, and the spawn token. Both the reservation and `bindPty` happened *after* the proof, so the gate saw no binding and no record and refused the first keystroke. Neither proof branch could ever run, which is why an agent mid-conversation failed the same way as a cold one. The reservation and the pane binding now come first, so the probe is authorized as `provingReservation` — the state the gate was written to accept. A proof that does not land hands the reservation back with the durable processless proof and releases the pane, so the next attempt is not refused by the record its predecessor left behind. `proveOwner` gets the reservation's own fence rather than a hardcoded 1, which is what makes that retry land. Launch-at-chat shared the defect: it routes through the same `setTabViewMode` → `setTerminalNativeChatMode` → `agentSession.adoptTerminal` path, now pinned by a test. The new adoption test drives the real write gate over a real record store and a real rollout proof; every earlier test mocked the PTY controller, so `admitProof` never ran and none of them could observe this.
