The gate refused only `live` and `unverifiable` and passed on `null` — but the register is an in-memory Map, so `null` is equally what a fresh app start, a never-asked host and a certified death look like. Absence of evidence was reading as authorization to spawn a shell over a possibly-live remote process: `!pty.connected` is cleared for every PTY a dropped relay owned, and `expired` only ever says the CLIENT lost its route. - `exited` is now RETAINED rather than deleted, so the register is three-valued in the map as well as in the type. Its one writer is a host-delivered exit frame — an exit with a real code, or an explicit `hostExitConfirmed` — which records the certificate instead of merely dropping the doubt. - `recoverTerminalPane` refuses on `live` and `unverifiable`, and deliberately does NOT demand a positive `exited`. The only answer that ever reaches this gate is a reachable relay reporting no such id, and that is a union: pty.attach throws not-found for an unknown id with no liveness check, and a relay restart makes every previously minted id unknown (ids carry a per-start `ptyIdMintEpoch`). No writer of `exited` co-occurs with a reattachable `expired` lease either — a host-delivered exit frame tombstones the lease `terminated` — so requiring one would close the gate permanently. - `handlePtyReattachFailure`'s not-found branch publishes `code: -1` to the renderer and does not call `runtime.onPtyExit`. The relay's not-found answer is not a death certificate, and #17963's ratchet on the same branch pins that. - The inventory's `observed === false` hunk keeps dropping doubt rather than asserting a death: `pty.listProcesses` returns the relay's CURRENT session map, so a restarted relay omits every previously minted id whether or not those shells died — the same union, one hop away. A live or unprovable pane refuses; a disowned one still recovers. No wire change. The gate's ratchets live in terminal-pane-recovery-liveness-gate.test.ts: config/vitest.config.ts — the config CI runs — matches only `*.test.ts`, so cases placed under orca-runtime-tests/*.spec.ts would never execute.
