Preserve the first session entry in the root mirror
When a tracked workflow is first activated with a session ID and the root file is absent or has no entry for that session, hasCurrentSessionEntry is false, so the incoming active entry is discarded. For example, syncCanonicalSkillStateForMode now writes an active session copy for ralph but creates a root copy with active: false and an empty active_skills array, whereas it previously wrote the supplied active nextRootState. Root-scoped compatibility readers therefore report no active workflow after an initial session-scoped startMode/state_write; the merge should admit the incoming entry when the caller requested a root update, particularly for an empty root.

Avoid deleting a newly acquired lock during stale cleanup
When two processes encounter the same stale lock, both can observe its old mtime; after the first process removes it and reacquires the path, the second process's recursive rm(..., force: true) can delete that newly acquired lock. The second process can then create the directory itself, allowing both writers into the root read-modify-write section and reintroducing the lost-update race this lock is intended to prevent. Stale-lock takeover needs an atomic ownership check or rename so cleanup cannot remove a replacement lock.

Recover orphaned locks without owner files
If the lock holder exits after creating the lock directory but before writing owner, readLockOwner() permanently returns null, so this observedToken guard prevents stale cleanup even after the directory exceeds the stale threshold. Every subsequent skill-state write then times out after two seconds until someone manually removes the lock; stale takeover should also safely recover an aged ownerless lock.

Resolve the effective session before dispatching the skill writer
When explicitSessionId is absent, this branch no longer calls getScopedStatePath, so it ignores the session inferred from OMX_SESSION_ID or session.json and writes value to the root mirror instead of the inferred session file. Likewise, a native-session alias is passed through without resolveCanonicalSessionId, creating a shadow alias directory rather than updating the canonical session. In notify invocations lacking an explicit payload ID—or carrying an alias—this leaves the real session stale and can replace global skill state; resolve and validate the effective canonical session before calling the specialized writer.

Keep session-only entries out of the root mirror
When the root already contains any entry for this session, incomingEntries admits every active entry from the session file, including entries deliberately kept session-only by selectRootSkillStateCopy(..., suppressRootMutation) or a prior rootState: null write. A later ordinary write for that session therefore promotes those suppressed entries into the global root mirror, where compatibility readers and transition checks can see them; merge only the entries authorized by the supplied root state rather than using session identity as blanket admission.

Skip noncanonical modes before acquiring the root lock
syncCanonicalSkillStateForMode is invoked for every non-skill-active state write in src/state/operations.ts, but the canonical-mode check now runs only inside this locked callback. Consequently an unrelated write such as a non-workflow mode waits on the skill mirror lock and can time out after its primary file has already been committed, returning failure for an operation that should have been a no-op here. Check tracksCanonicalWorkflowSkill(options.mode) before acquiring the lock.

Merge using the resolved path session ID
When an explicit session-scoped state_write supplies its session ID only as the routing argument, the persisted skill payload can legitimately omit session_id, but this line derives the merge scope from that payload rather than the sessionId used to build sessionPath. If the root contains an unscoped entry, the resulting empty string matches that entry, causing the session write to replace the global entry with an unscoped copy of the session state; use the resolved path session ID for filtering and replacement.

Recompute primary-session metadata after replacing entries
When the root mirror contains sessions A and B and A is the top-level primary, removing A leaves B in entries, but this reconstruction preserves A's inherited session_id, owner, thread, turn, and timestamp while changing only the skill and phase. The resulting root claims ownership by A while its active entries belong to B; subsequent root-scoped syncCanonicalSkillStateForMode calls then return early because isTransitionCanonicalStateOwned sees the stale nonempty outer session ID, preventing global workflow updates until the mirror is repaired.

Verify process identity before retaining a stale lock
When a lock holder crashes and its PID is subsequently reused by an unrelated long-lived process, process.kill(pid, 0) succeeds and this function treats the stale lock as still owned. Every later skill-state write then times out after two seconds until that unrelated process exits, even though the original owner is gone; include a non-reusable process identity such as the recorded process start time when deciding whether the lock can be reclaimed.

REQUEST_CHANGES Reviewed exact head Blocking finding — ownerless stale lock is never recoverable:
This means the claimed recovery behavior is not complete: a single process crash at the lock acquisition boundary can permanently block all future root mirror writes until manual filesystem cleanup. The bounded timeout only bounds each failure; it does not restore liveness. Required fix: make acquisition/recovery handle an old ownerless lock directory safely (with a race-safe age recheck/rename, or use a single atomic ownership artifact whose stale state is recoverable), and add a deterministic test for an aged CI currently reports success, but it does not exercise this crash-window invariant. — |

Coordinate atomic replacement with the cancellation writer
When omx cancel races with this replacement, the cancellation path in src/cli/index.ts:8154-8182 can open and validate the current root file, then this rename swaps the pathname to a new inode before cancellation truncates its already-open handle. Cancellation consequently writes only the now-unlinked old inode and reports success while the visible skill-active-state.json remains active. The cancellation writer must participate in the same lock or revalidate the pathname identity after writing.

Reject arrays as malformed root state
If the root file contains valid JSON with an invalid array shape such as [], this check accepts it because arrays have type object; normalization then returns null, the array is cast to SkillActiveStateLike, and the next write silently replaces it instead of producing the new malformed-root failure. Include Array.isArray(parsed) in the malformed-state check so corruption is consistently preserved for repair rather than overwritten.

Independent hostile read-only review of exact head f32797434abf06fc2923dbbe208a84e604c5f8b5.
Blocking finding 1 — ownerless stale recovery can steal a live lock
reclaimOwnerlessStaleLock() in src/state/skill-active.ts does an empty-directory check, then renames rootPath.lock. Those checks are not coupled to the rename. A contender can create the lock directory, pass the empty checks, and write owner immediately before the rename. The recovery process then renames that live owner's directory to .stale-*, sees the owner in the moved directory, returns true anyway, and retries against the original path. The live owner still holds the original token/path in memory, so its next ownership check fails with lock-lost; the recovery process can then acquire a replacement lock and overwrite the root while the original writer is still in its critical section. This is a live-owner safety violation, not merely a cleanup race.
The current test only covers an ownerless directory with no concurrent creator. It does not synchronize a child between the final empty check and the rename, so it cannot establish this invariant. Recovery must use an ownership protocol whose claim is atomic with respect to owner creation (or, after rename, prove that no owner was ever installed and otherwise restore/retry without invalidating the live owner), plus a deterministic cross-process race test.
Blocking finding 2 — successor release/token race can delete a successor lock
releaseRootSkillActiveStateLock() performs readLockOwner(lock.path) === lock.token and then rm(lock.path) as separate operations. If a stale takeover or another recovery actor replaces that path after the read and before rm, the releasing process can recursively remove the successor's lock. The token check therefore does not protect the destructive operation. The same path-replacement hazard is exactly what the stale-lock protocol is designed to permit. Release needs an atomic compare-and-remove design (for example, move the exact owned directory to a private quarantine name and remove only that directory, with failure-safe handling), and a cross-process successor-release test.
Other checks
- Malformed-root handling is fail-closed in the ordinary path:
readRootStateForWrite()rejects malformed JSON before root replacement, and the test verifies the bytes remain unchanged. - I found no exported
rootLockHeldbypass; the lock-bearing helper is private, and the atomic root writer rechecks ownership before rename. That does not repair the two path-replacement races above. - The added genuine multi-process test is real: it spawns two Node child processes, gates the first in
beforeCommit, verifies the second cannot enter, then releases both and checks both root entries survive. It covers ordinary contention, not stale-ownerless takeover or successor release. - GitHub checks for this head report Typecheck PASS; the remaining listed full/native/docs lanes are SKIPPED. Local targeted execution was unavailable because this checkout has no
node_modulesandnpm run buildfails with missing@types/node.
Please add deterministic inter-process tests for (a) owner creation racing ownerless stale recovery, (b) live owner surviving stale takeover attempts, (c) successor acquisition racing predecessor release, and (d) malformed root with every lock/recovery branch before reconsidering approval.

Wait before reclaiming a pending lock
When a second process attempts acquisition after the first has written pending-* but before it renames that file to owner-*, pendingEntry makes this age check pass immediately. The contender can therefore rename and delete the live lock directory, causing the first process's owner-file rename to fail and its state update to be lost. Fresh evidence in this revision is that the new pending-marker path is explicitly exempted from the stale-age requirement; pending locks should only be reclaimed after the stale threshold or published atomically.

Make the release marker visible to lock recovery
If the owner exits after unlinking its owner file but before removing the lock directory, subsequent writers time out for roughly the 10-second stale interval because the 2-second acquisition deadline expires first. The release marker cannot enable immediate cleanup as intended: this function places it beside the lock directory, while reclaimOwnerlessStaleLock only recognizes released-* entries inside that directory. Store the marker where recovery checks for it, or have recovery inspect the sibling marker.

Reclaim locks despite multiple valid release markers
If a process crashes after creating its release marker but before unlinking the owner file, dead-owner takeover removes the lock directory without removing that sibling marker; the next successful owner then creates a second marker when it releases. This branch permanently refuses to reclaim the resulting ownerless lock, so every later skill-state write times out even though no process owns it. Recovery should validate and clean obsolete markers rather than treating multiple markers as unrecoverable.

Preserve transient-state recovery through the locked writer
When post-launch cleanup runs without a session ID and the root skill-active-state.json is empty or truncated, readPostLaunchModeStateFile classifies it as recoverable and constructs a replacement state, but this routing calls writeSkillActiveStateCopiesForStateDir, whose readRootStateForWrite parses the same damaged file and throws malformed-root. The catch at the recovery site therefore only warns and leaves the file corrupted, whereas this path previously replaced it; the recovery write needs a locked replacement mode that does not first require the malformed content to parse.

[repo owner's gaebal-gajae (clawdbot) 🦞] PR #3403 remaining signed REQUEST_CHANGES blockers repaired in existing #3399 lane. Exact head: d755b98; base remains 243872b. Notify explicit-session skill-active writes now enter the shared strict root transaction directly: malformed/unreadable root errors surface before session persistence, root bytes remain unchanged, and missing-root session-local semantics remain intact. Root-scoped post-launch scrub now passes a mutation function. The shared root transaction re-reads current state under lock before applying target-session removal, preserving concurrent session entries. Added direct malformed-root notify regression, deterministic scrub merge interleaving coverage, and genuine process-level scrub/update coverage. Verification passed: CLI 329, notify auto-nudge 68, notify state-I/O regression, root-lock 17, operations 104, build, lint, no-unused, and diff check. Request fresh independent hostile review against this exact head. Do not merge. — |

Acquire the mirror lock before the primary session commit
For a session-scoped state_write of mode skill-active, src/state/operations.ts commits mode.primary to the session file before invoking this helper. If lock acquisition times out—or readRootStateForWrite subsequently rejects a malformed root—this call fails only after the session state has changed, so the operation reports an error while session readers observe the new state and the root mirror remains stale or corrupt. Acquire and validate the mirror lock before the primary commit, or route both writes through a transaction that cannot fail after committing only the session copy.

[repo owner's gaebal-gajae (clawdbot) 🦞] Exact run 30733963077 failure logs were inspected for d755b98. Fresh repair head: e3bc3ce. Attribution: both Coverage Gate (Team Critical) job 91459168012 and Node 20 team-state-runtime job 91459168090 failed in the shared dist/state/tests/operations.test.js takeover-contract cases T4, T6, and T7. The concrete mismatch was introduced by the notify/root repair change: explicit session writes on a missing root returned after session-copy, so the established root-copy commit sites were absent and takeover errors reported skill-active.session-copy instead of the pre-existing scope-change contract. No unrelated team-runtime failure was present in the logs. Repair: the shared writer now preserves the default root-copy protocol and event ordering for all existing callers, while notify explicit-session writes opt into session-only behavior only when the root is genuinely missing. Existing malformed/unreadable root reads remain strict typed failures; malformed roots cannot produce divergent session copies. Focused operations (104), CLI (329), notify auto-nudge (68), notify state-I/O regression, root-lock (17), build, lint, no-unused, diff check, and coverage:team-critical:compiled pass locally. Requesting fresh CI and hostile review only after this exact head is green. Do not merge. — |

[repo owner's gaebal-gajae (clawdbot) 🦞] P1 repair for exact review head e3bc3ce. Fresh implementation head: 33c02af. Attribution: src/state/operations.ts wrote mode.primary before writeSkillActiveStateCopiesForStateDir acquired and validated the root lock. A malformed root or lock timeout therefore failed after the session skill-active file had changed. This was introduced by the prior operations root-writer routing and was not a pre-existing baseline failure. Fix: explicit-session skill-active state_write now uses a lock-owned primary/root/session transaction. It strictly reads and validates the root before mode.primary, writes root atomically, preserves commit-site ordering, and rolls back the primary and root bytes if a later root/session commit fails. Existing missing-root session-only behavior remains opt-in only for notify; operations retain root-copy semantics. Added direct operations regressions for malformed root and root lock timeout, asserting both session and root bytes remain unchanged. Existing token/identity lock safety and all prior P1 coverage are preserved. No merge or competing lane. — |

Do not overwrite concurrent root updates during rollback
When this transaction fails before changing the root, or after the session-copy step fails, this unconditional rollback restores the snapshot captured at line 695. Root writers that do not use this lock still exist—for example completeRalplanSession updates or unlinks the root mirror in src/state/operations.ts:619-636—so a concurrent successful update can be overwritten, or a newly created root can be deleted, while handling an unrelated session-write failure. Restore the root only if this transaction actually committed it and its pathname still identifies that committed version.
