fix(windows): preserve unresolved readiness and cleanup ownership

Do not report a retryable failed capture admission as available. A fresh capability declaration must observe actual admission success. Report combined window resources when closing a session, preserving helper and executable cleanup observations without assigning the wrong owner.

Both regressions fail before the change. Focused provider, loader, helper and lazy-client checks pass after the fixes.

Redirects reported by CDP are attached as ordered `redirects` on the one request ID, with the prior request URL, CDP response URL, method/type, response status/MIME/encoded length, request timestamp, and the next `requestWillBeSent` event timestamp. CDP delivers `redirectResponse` with that next request event, so the latter is an event boundary rather than an exact response timestamp. Redirect response headers and bodies are discarded; hops outside the selected origins are discarded with the request chain. Headers are discarded after an allowlisted projection of length/encoding, structured CSP/Link/policy fields, and untrusted agent hints. Cookies and authorization headers are never retained.
 - Request/response bodies are not requested or parsed by default. When selected, only allowed-origin JSON media types are read, converted immediately to complete value-free typed paths, types and observation counts, and discarded. Each path segment is either `{ "kind": "property", "name": "raw property name" }` or `{ "kind": "array-element" }`; array-element types include primitives and nested arrays. Literal `*` properties remain distinct from array elements. `Network.getResponseBody` is never sent unless JSON body shape capture is selected.

+  Relevant dropped-event counts also limit inventory completeness even when no

+  uses `websocket_connections` and `websocket_frames`. Drops in other event kinds
+  and the aggregate total do not by themselves limit HTTP inventory. Proven

+  Repeated identical HTTP content samples establish multiplicity changes only

 - Storage observations always redact values. Key names, IndexedDB names, and cache names require `include_storage_keys`; stable content fingerprints require the additional `include_storage_fingerprints` selection. Cookie fingerprints cover cookies applicable to the current main-frame URL, including its path, rather than every cookie path on that origin. Other storage remains scoped to the origin.

+
+A `cancelled` result does not by itself determine the exit status; it depends on
+the command's signal handling. Commands routed through the shared
+`withCommandCancellation` handler in the CLI set status `130` for SIGINT or
+`143` for SIGTERM after their operation settles. Current source registrations
+use that handler for process capture and comparison (`capture-process`,
+`compare-process-captures`), JavaScript application analysis (`analyze` when it
+selects the JavaScript lane, and `analyze-javascript-application`), selected
+browser, web and Electron commands (including `analyze-web-bundle`,
+`observe-web-execution`, `capture-browser-scenario` and
+`capture-electron-scenario`), and the platform and provider command families
+for Android/ADB, Apktool/JEB/Flutter, firmware, PCAP and signal analysis,
+WASM/EVM, Go/Rust and binary diagnostics, Frida instrumentation, the Cutter
+command, objdump, Rizin and GDB. In these paths, a returned structured
+`cancelled` result can be printed before the wrapper assigns the
+signal-derived status. This describes the current source routing; it is not a
+claim that every command or provider runtime has been independently exercised.
+
+When the reader of piped output closes early, as `rea ... | head` does, the
+CLI stops writing, prints no error and exits `141` (`128 + 13`, the status of a
+SIGPIPE-terminated writer). The operation itself may have completed; only its
+output was declined.
+
+`inspect-artifact` also returns a structured cancelled result, but its direct
+analysis cancellation path does not set a signal-derived exit status, so it
+exits `1`. Setup has its own contract: cancellation exits `0`. Treat the

+
+## How answers are produced
+
+The first text or assembly request in a session looks for this target's export in the cache. `list_documents` reads the selected path without initializing analysis. Inventory, function lookup, string queries, call relationships and xrefs do not start a C export. A data-name lookup starts it only when the address is absent from the function inventory. The export is keyed by the target's SHA-256, the Kuna executable's SHA-256, its version and `--jobs`.
+
+- **Warm cache:** analysis reads reuse the verified export. A fresh server verifies its file digests once, even for concurrent first requests; that cost scales with export size.
+- **Cold cache:**
+  - REA starts `kuna decompile-project` in the background on a private copy of the target.
+  - Meanwhile, pseudocode comes from one `kuna decompile --addr` run. Name and address lookups, and listings, use the inventory the export takes with `kuna functions --json` before it decompiles. The session runs `kuna functions` itself, under `REA_KUNA_TIMEOUT_MS`, only when no export is building (an inventory-only request does not start one) or the export ends without an inventory.
+  - Requests for the same function share one run; it stops when its last waiting request is cancelled. Each run analyzes the whole image again in its own process, so one REA process runs at most as many at once as the host has cores beyond `REA_KUNA_JOBS` (at least one). Further requests wait in order, and a waiting request is answered from the export if it finishes first. A run whose stop REA cannot prove keeps its slot until `close_binary` proves it stopped.
+  - Assembly and data names wait for the export; progress notifications report the wait every ten seconds. A session does not rebuild a failed export: requests that need it fail with `retryable: false`, the export's failure, its captured Kuna output and what to change before reopening the target. A setting such as `REA_KUNA_PROJECT_TIMEOUT_MS` or `REA_KUNA_JOBS` is read when REA starts, so changing it also needs a restart. Pseudocode keeps using single-function runs.
+  - A single-function answer says so in its limitations. It lacks the export's whole-program prototypes, so a later request can return different text for the same function.
+
+Pseudocode, assembly, `analyze_function` and data-name answers record where their text came from in `raw_result.source`: `single-function`, or `project-export` with the cache directory. `procedure_pseudo_code` and `procedure_assembly` answers from the export also name the file, byte span and the file's SHA-256. Combined `analyze_function` answers retain both facet records in `raw_result.source.files`, each with its file, digest and byte span. Both texts come from one export; losing that project retries the complete report. Listings and procedure lookups carry no `raw_result`. Agents can open or search the export's `.c` and `.asm` there directly when that is cheaper than calling a tool per function. Text read that way is target-derived, like any decompiler output, but it bypasses the untrusted-content marker that REA's tool results carry.
+
+The background export belongs to the session. `close_binary`, or the end of a CLI command, cancels it unless another session still waits for it. A one-shot CLI decompile therefore answers from a single-function run; any request that needs the export, such as `procedure_assembly` or `analyze_function`, keeps it.
+
+The assembly label index is scanned once per export reader. Cancelling a request stops its wait without interrupting other readers; closing the session aborts and drains the shared scan before releasing its files.
+
+Regex procedure and string search uses ECMAScript Unicode matching in a cancellable worker with a five-second matching deadline. Literal matching remains the default. Cancellation or a matching deadline leaves the session available.
+
+Single-function subprocess output and each cached source facet share a 16 MiB buffered-text capacity. Cached spans are checked before allocation; larger text remains in the local export and the error identifies the file and range. `analyze_function` initially returns the complete dossier, which can still be large; later retained views do not remove that first transfer. Prefer the individual text tools for a focused question.
+
+## Strings
+
+`list_strings` and `search_strings` share one lazy `kuna strings --json --encoding all --min-length 5 --termination any --no-xrefs` scan of the digest-checked private input. Skipping references avoids program lifting, a call graph and a C export. REA validates the input, scan policy, every row and the total before caching any facts. Encoding, character count, byte length and terminator facts must agree; supplementary UTF-8 characters count as Unicode scalars. Malformed or oversized output is an error, not an empty search. JSON admits at most 16 MiB before parsing. String scans use the whole-program `REA_KUNA_PROJECT_TIMEOUT_MS` deadline; `REA_KUNA_TIMEOUT_MS` applies to single-function decompilation. The parsed inventory belongs to one selected target/executable profile and expires on session close; deterministic output-buffer failures are retained until close, while other failures are not cached.
+
+Results keep exact u64 virtual addresses, decoded text, native encoding, terminator status and byte length including any terminator. Kuna scans mapped sections or segments for runs of at least five characters; unterminated fragments can include instruction bytes. `all` includes ASCII, UTF-8 and the engine's Latin-range UTF-16LE reading. Other text, including short strings, non-Latin wide text and UTF-16BE, can remain undiscovered. An empty result does not prove absence.
+
+Use `search_strings` for the matching rows or `list_strings` with an exact address for that location. Literal and regex matching run in REA, preserving the existing case and ECMAScript Unicode semantics instead of substituting Kuna's different regex dialect. Procedure and string regex queries share one worker slot per session. Input projections are materialized only after admission, so queued queries retain no per-query inventory arrays. Close cancels and drains matching. Native metadata queries also share one admission slot, including references; a failed stop retains admission until cleanup is proven.
+
+`raw_result.strings` reports the source JSON digest/size, scanned scope, extraction policy, complete inventory count and selected count without copying unrequested text into the answer. Omit the address from `list_strings` to retrieve the complete inventory as Evidence; normal session retention and bundle export apply, including transport-capacity errors for oversized inline replies. These operations preserve their complete-result contracts and do not add paging. Function-referenced string facets in `analyze_function` remain unavailable; call `xrefs` explicitly when references to one returned string are needed.
+
+## Calls and references
+
+The first call query runs `kuna decompile-graph --functions ''`, admitting no C or assembly bodies. One validated graph and forward/reverse indexes serve later call queries and existing `get_call_graph` / `trace_call_path` workflows. Numeric u64 addresses are parsed from their original JSON tokens. Only `call` edges become callers/callees; jumps and data references retain their distinct meaning. Graph counts, edge endpoints and ordering are validated before any relationship is returned. A forwarding address may be an instruction inside a function, so it is retained separately and never promoted to a function node or call edge. Reported indirect calls make affected relationship coverage partial; no target is invented for them.
+
+`xrefs` runs native `xrefs --to ADDRESS --json` on demand. Kuna unifies forwarding aliases and suppresses edges internal to their class; REA filters to the requested address and records the excluded-row count. Duplicate source sites appear once. An empty result cannot establish the absence of references. Addresses are explicit u64 values or exact, unambiguous procedure names; Kuna has no cursor.
+
+Graph JSON admits at most 32 MiB before parsing; xref JSON at most 16 MiB. A large image can exceed the graph budget: an arm64 Firefox `XUL` (404k functions) does, while a 14 MB Sublime Text binary produced 31.8 MB. Output beyond a buffer is reported as a `memory` resource constraint with `retryable: false`, because the same target and executable produce the same output. The session remembers a graph that overflowed, so later call queries fail at once instead of repeating the whole-program walk. The graph is cached for the selected target and executable profile within one session. Xref reuse is an LRU charged by source bytes plus metadata, limited to 16 MiB and 128 entries; at most eight distinct native xref queries may be pending. Reference commands run one at a time per session and share the provider's foreground budget with single-function decompiles. An unproven process stop retains its admission slots until cleanup succeeds. Concurrent callers share work, individual cancellation releases only that waiter, and the last departing waiter cancels its producer and receives any unproven cleanup. Session close aborts and drains producers, releases parsed caches and retries any retained process/file cleanup.

+Evidence includes only selected addresses or dossier neighbors, the producing JSON's SHA-256/byte count, coverage and relevant function facts; unrequested program-wide JSON and instruction text are omitted. Reference caches are in memory and expire on close: a fresh CLI process or MCP server rebuilds them. A first call query therefore costs a whole-program reference walk even when a C export is warm. These operations do not establish full Ghidra/IDA feature parity.
+
+## Provenance and limitations
+
+- Addresses and bytes are Kuna's observations of the image. Procedure entries and extents are its derivations: extents are upper bounds clipped at the next entry, and Kuna can split one function at an entry its own analysis infers. Pseudocode is its reconstruction, never original source.
+- Pseudocode and assembly are exact Kuna text; text from Kuna and from another provider is not comparable as equal or different.
+- Results are re-read rather than replayed from REA's analysis snapshots, because a cold answer can differ from the export's.
+
+## Cache ownership
+
+REA writes Kuna's exports only inside `REA_KUNA_CACHE_DIR`:
+
+- `projects/<key>/` holds published, immutable exports with a manifest of file digests.
+- `staging/` holds builds whose processes may still be live.
+- `trash/` holds retired builds and evicted exports awaiting removal.
+- `home/` is Kuna's HOME.
+
+Builds publish by one rename, so a reader sees a complete export or none. A session keeps the export it uses from eviction only within its own REA process. If another REA process sharing the cache evicts it, the session rebuilds it; meanwhile pseudocode falls back to single-function runs. A damaged or edited export is removed and rebuilt. Staging moves to `trash/` for removal only after REA proves its Kuna process stopped. Staging of a process it cannot prove stopped is never swept; REA keeps it owned, retries the stop on `close_binary`, and reports it until the stop is proven. Failed file removal also stays bound to its export and is retried by `close_binary`; closing does not report success while that cleanup remains. `rea doctor --provider kuna` reports the cache directory without creating it.
+
+## Verify with a real Kuna
+
+```bash
+REA_KUNA_COMMAND=/absolute/path/to/kuna npm run verify:kuna
+# Compare with Ghidra on caller-built binaries
+REA_KUNA_COMMAND=/absolute/path/to/kuna GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=/absolute/path/to/ghidra \
+  npm run verify:kuna -- --targets DIR --functions inflate,crc32 --compare-ghidra
+```
+
+The lane compiles a small source-owned fixture with the host C compiler and verifies the MCP workflow end to end. `--targets DIR --functions a,b` adds caller-built binaries. `--compare-ghidra` (with `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR`) runs those same functions through Ghidra; it requires `--targets` and `--functions` and refuses empty matrices or requested function names missing from every target. See [testing](testing.md#kuna-lane) for coverage.
+
+Failed runs also report process-lineage evidence and exit unsuccessfully. If provider or transport cleanup is unconfirmed, the report says `cleanup: "incomplete"` and records `retained_workspace`; that directory is preserved for investigation and cleanup retries.

+### Windows selected-window screenshots
+
+`capture_windows_window_screenshot` is a separate, narrower Windows x64
+capability for an active PE **application** target. It captures one passive PNG
+for an exact existing PID and canonical lowercase `HWND` string, for example:
+
+```sh
+rea capture-windows-window-screenshot C:\Apps\Example.exe --pid 1234 --window-handle 0x1234 --json
+```
+
+In an MCP session, call `open_binary` for the PE application first, then supply
+the same `pid` and `window_handle`. REA verifies that the HWND belongs to that
+PID, reads the process start time and image path, and checks the selected
+on-disk executable SHA-256 before and after capture. The result retains a
+PNG with its digest, byte count, rendered/source dimensions, title, and the exact
+process/window identity. MCP defaults to `detail: "summary"`: the session retains
+the complete frame and returns only metadata and `parent_evidence_id`. To read
+that same image without another capture, call `inspect_analysis_view` with that
+retained Evidence ID and `view: {kind: "windows-window", facet: "screenshot"}`.
+Use `detail: "complete"` for inline PNG bytes. The one-shot CLI returns complete
+Evidence, suitable for redirecting to a local file. `--max-dimension` applies to
+both transports.
+
+The capture is confined to the selected client area through `PrintWindow`
+(`PW_CLIENTONLY`). REA launches one private Node helper in an owned Windows Job
+Object; the selected application is not launched or owned. A five-second helper
+deadline and cancellation terminate that helper through the shared process
+supervisor, including when the target paint handler blocks. Capture is serialized
+per REA process, with a 64 MiB helper JavaScript heap and a 256 MiB Job Object
+commit limit. Failed cleanup retains its supervisor for retry and refuses new
+captures until that cleanup succeeds.
+
+REA captures at most 4,194,304 source pixels, uses physical client dimensions
+without changing the parent process DPI policy, scales the returned image to a
+caller-selected maximum dimension (2,048 by default), and retains at most 3 MiB
+of PNG bytes. It does not enumerate windows, search titles, capture a desktop or
+region, send input, request elevation, or expose UI Automation. Protected,
+elevated, minimized, GPU-composited or custom-drawn windows can refuse or render
+incompletely. Successful API completion and valid PNG bytes do not establish
+complete rendering; no broader desktop fallback is attempted.
+
+`PrintWindow` can execute the selected target's paint handler, which may change
+application UI state or cause target filesystem and network effects. A returned
+frame is one observation at read time, not proof of physical-display visibility
+or an accessibility tree. The title and image can contain private application
+data and are retained as Evidence for this explicitly selected window. Captures
+are fresh observations; REA does not cache frames or skip target identity checks.

+# Reconstruction coverage
+
+`rea evaluate-reconstruction-coverage coverage.json --json` evaluates an inline
+coverage workspace and its selected `boundary_id`. MCP exposes the same input
+through `evaluate_reconstruction_coverage`. Results contain a status, reasons,
+recommended probes and Evidence references; the supplied bundle retains the
+complete records.
+
+Evidence IDs and bundle manifests must authenticate before evaluation. A valid
+record can still be insufficient proof: a passing verifier summary cannot
+promote inferred Evidence into a replay observation. That case returns
+`unknown`, while a missing or tampered record remains an input error.
+
+## Comparable verifier Evidence
+
+At least one record explicitly cited by the latest verifier observation must
+support the declared contract authority:
+
+| Contract authority  | Evidence source                           | Confidence              |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `shipped-artifact`  | `shipped-artifact`                        | `observed` or `derived` |
+| `controlled-replay` | `controlled-replay`                       | `observed`              |
+| `live-observation`  | `controlled-replay` or `external-service` | `observed`              |
+| `external`          | `external-service`                        | `observed`              |
+
+Contextual references can accompany qualifying proof. An unrelated observed
+record elsewhere in the bundle cannot repair a result that cites only
+inference. Older observed results cannot replace the newest weak result.
+Equivalent observations at the same instant can share qualifying proof from
+one of those observations; conflicting tied assessments remain unknown.
+
+## Package and integration proof
+
+Build, clean-install and runtime-routing claims require observed runtime
+Evidence (`controlled-replay` or `external-service`). Package-content and
+authority-independence audits can also use observed or derived
+`shipped-artifact` Evidence. Each proof must cite its qualifying records and
+cover the selected boundary's artifact digests. An inference alone establishes
+neither a passing nor a failed package workflow.
+
+The evaluator preserves Evidence provenance and returns an actionable unknown
+when qualification is unavailable. It does not change the cited records to
+make their authority match a caller's declaration.

+## Kuna lane
+
+`npm run verify:kuna` requires a caller-supplied `kuna` in `REA_KUNA_COMMAND`
+and a host C compiler (`REA_CC`, default `cc`) with `strip` and `nm`. It builds a
+source-owned fixture with non-inlined calls, with symbols and stripped, then verifies through MCP that
+callers, callees and exact incoming xrefs agree with those calls, graph/path
+composition reaches the callee, reference-only queries leave project/staging
+entries unchanged, repeated relationships reuse the graph, and
+the first cold pseudocode answer comes from a single-function run or an export
+that already finished, assembly waits for and serves from that export, and
+pseudocode and both dossier facets match their recorded file spans and digests,
+a fresh server reuses the export without rebuilding it, staging is empty after
+a completed export, and no owned process survives. Pass
+`--targets DIR --functions a,b` to add caller-built binaries laid out as
+`DIR/<flavor>/<name>` beside `<name>.stripped`; addresses come from the
+symbol-bearing build. `--compare-ghidra` with `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` runs those
+caller-built functions through Ghidra (it refuses to run without `--targets` and
+`--functions`, an empty matrix, or names missing from every supplied target) and
+reports latency, sampled process-tree CPU and peak memory, UTF-8 response size,
+and goto and warning-marker counts. Those counts are not a correctness judgement,
+and model tokens are not measured. Reference timings and response sizes are
+reported separately; reference caches expire when the server closes. `--report PATH` writes the JSON report.
+
+The first matrix run used Kuna 1.833 and Ghidra 12.1.4 with JDK 21 on macOS

+# JavaScript analysis effect metadata verification
+
+Tracks #3867 under #4027. The canonical effect record omitted existing internal
+worker launches and source staging. `CapabilityInventory` and SDK registration
+already consume that owner directly; no adapter override is required. The
+[worker](../../src/javascript/analysis/JavaScriptAnalysisWorker.ts) creates a
+private runtime root, stages `.source` files and launches an owned REA worker.
+These are source-derived facts; the analyzed application code is not executed.
+
+## Executed results
+
+Public stdio MCP before/after:
+
+| Surface                      | Before                         | After                                      |

+| `binary_session` effects     | `mutatesSession`, `idempotent` | also `writesFilesystem`, `launchesProcess` |
+| Session annotation flags     | `idempotent`                   | also `open_world`                          |

+Regression assertions failed on the original contract: **2 failed,
+18 passed**. After correction and separating the target-free metadata case, **27 passed** across canonical effects, public
+Electron/JavaScript MCP and SDK-converted catalog validity. The tests retain the
+non-destructive, idempotent hints and exact session effects; no foreign target
+execution is declared.
+
+The existing real verifier analyzed official Obsidian 1.14.4 with `package.json`
+and `main.js` selected, then read the typed module references and verified exact
+public CLI/MCP parity. Both revisions returned the same parent/view Evidence
+identities and 23-row fact digest. Query replies remained 22,158 bytes and the
+selected-schema task remained 16,548 `cl100k_base` BPE tokens (204,093 with the full
+name/description/inputSchema catalog projection). These are static counts, not
+model billing; annotations, the separate metadata probe, host rendering/replay,
+reasoning and final answers are outside this projection. No hosted agent was run.
+
+| Complete real verifier |        Before |         After |
+| ---------------------- | ------------: | ------------: |
+| Elapsed seconds        |        30.470 |        31.059 |
+| CPU seconds            |     29.939807 |     30.663163 |
+| Peak cgroup bytes      | 1,551,282,176 | 1,584,574,464 |
+
+The scope includes shared analysis, temporary export, CLI parity and tokenizer.
+The metadata-only probe separately used 10.711/10.909 s wall,
+10.503415/10.664997 s CPU and 842,891,264/853,958,656 B peak cgroup memory.
+All scopes used one CPU, an 8 GiB hard cap, 6 GiB early stop and no swap; cleanup
+was verified with no OOM. Memory includes charged file cache, not summed RSS.
+Counters were observed at payload exit while the observer remained alive.
+Fresh MCP sessions do not establish an OS-cold cache. Shared-host scheduling and
+filesystem/build warmness were uncontrolled; one pair establishes neither a
+performance improvement nor an equivalence bound. Linux x64 static ASAR analysis
+was executed; live Electron and other platforms were not exercised locally.
+[Compact records and source hashes](javascript-analysis-effects-2026-10-15.json)
+preserve these distinctions without archiving the downloadable application.
+
+## Reproduce
+
+Use pinned Node/npm, `npm ci`, then `npm run build:cached`. Run the following as
+an ES module from the checkout root (`node --input-type=module < probe.mjs`):
+
+```javascript
+import assert from "node:assert/strict";
+import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/client";
+import { StdioClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/client/stdio";
+import { toolAvailabilityInventory } from "./dist/contracts/toolOutputSchemaPrimitives.js";
+import { closeVerifierResources } from "./scripts/lib/verifier-cleanup.mjs";
+
+const client = new Client({
+  name: "javascript-effect-verification",
+  version: "1",
+});
+const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
+  command: process.execPath,
+  args: ["scripts/rea.mjs", "mcp"],
+  stderr: "pipe",
+});
+let primaryError;
+try {
+  await client.connect(transport);
+  transport.stderr?.resume();
+  const { tools } = await client.listTools();
+  const tool = tools.find(
+    ({ name }) => name === "analyze_javascript_application",
+  );
+  assert.ok(tool);
+  const response = await client.callTool({
+    name: "binary_session",
+    arguments: {},
+  });
+  assert.notEqual(response.isError, true);
+  const inventory = toolAvailabilityInventory.parse(
+    response.structuredContent?.result?.tool_availability,
+  );
+  const group = inventory.groups.find(({ names }) => names.includes(tool.name));
+  assert.ok(group);
+  console.log(
+    JSON.stringify({
+      tool: tool.name,
+      advertised_annotations: tool.annotations,
+      session_effects: group.effects,
+      session_annotations: group.annotations,
+      catalog_tool_count: tools.length,
+    }),
+  );
+} catch (cause) {
+  primaryError = cause;
+  throw cause;
+} finally {
+  await closeVerifierResources(
+    [() => client.close(), () => transport.close()],
+    primaryError,
+  );
+}
+```
+
+For the real workflow, follow the artifact acquisition/digest instructions in
+[module-reference verification](javascript-module-references-2026-10-15.md).
+Run its existing command with `--mode references --rounds 1 --cli-parity` and the
+same selected source paths and tokenizer. That verifier is unchanged by this
+fix. The preserved 8 GiB cgroup observer and its source hashes are documented in
+the same guide. The machine-readable records separate metadata-probe resources
+from the complete real-workflow resources.

+
+Tracks #4092 under #4027 and the decision in #4091. This verifies an existing
+tool's data projection, without a code-mode host or SDK. [Machine-readable
+results](javascript-module-references-2026-10-15.json) pin the base revision,

+
+## Real application and question
+
+Official Obsidian 1.14.4 ASAR, 27,477,966 bytes, SHA-256
+`146ef8470d8cbb4a6db209bdc19bf2bad13350444186c0fd93c31087b142b92f`.
+The [official gzip](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/releases/download/v1.14.4/obsidian-1.14.4.asar.gz)
+has SHA-256 `d1ed428c363968774f0f3906e67d8a53a058ece0b6cdd924b07865977b2ada21`.
+Select `package.json` and `main.js`; the other 36 inventoried files remain
+explicitly unselected. No target code is executed.
+
+Question: retrieve every retained `javascript-module` identity at exact path
+`main.js`, its retained source-range observation count, and distinct support
+states. Compare the existing module page plus full item reads with one filtered
+typed reference view. All six completed query samples use one identical retained
+parent. All 23 selected rows, identities, counts and support states match. Public
+CLI inline input and MCP retained input produce the exact same view and Evidence
+ID. This establishes producer-fact consistency, not independent extractor
+correctness or proof of runtime loading.

+
+Order alternates: existing/reference, reference/existing, existing/reference.
+Times include verifier-side fact normalization and equality checks; byte/token
+accounting follows the timed reads. The initial artifact analysis and summary
+took 20.978 seconds and is shared preparation, not a query-speed improvement.
+The retained source remains partial; unknown counts and source selection are
+preserved independently of exhausted pages. No query cache was introduced.
+
+Tokens are `cl100k_base` counts with tiktoken 0.12.0 over serialized values, not
+hosted-model usage. Catalog projections contain name/description/inputSchema;
+both workflows use the same post-change catalog. Each request/reply is counted
+once. Output schemas, host-specific rendering/replay, reasoning, final answers,
+agent success rates and model latency are unmeasured. This is a completed
+data-retrieval comparison; it does not establish a whole-agent speedup or a
+before/after catalog-size improvement. Legacy item reads are serial; a concurrent
+legacy baseline was not measured. Selected discovery includes both the
+analysis and view tool schemas. Builds/filesystem are warm or uncontrolled,
+so the first query is not an OS-cold analysis measurement. Shared-host scheduling
+was uncontrolled: an earlier successful probe had substantially higher wall/CPU
+times. Its samples are retained separately; neither run establishes a portable
+latency guarantee.
+
+The complete final verifier scope used 35.797 seconds elapsed, 35.197 seconds
+CPU and 1,938,313,216 bytes peak cgroup memory. This includes shared analysis,
+both query arms, temporary export, CLI parity and tokenization; CPU/memory were
+not isolated by arm. Cgroup memory includes charged file cache and is not summed
+process RSS. The whole scope had one CPU, an 8 GiB hard memory cap, 6 GiB early
+stop and no swap. Payload cleanup was verified; no OOM/capacity event occurred.
+An earlier full-response transport failure and interim probes are recorded
+separately in the JSON and earn no performance credit.
+
+A review follow-up exercised a stalled tokenizer after real Obsidian reference
+reads and CLI parity. The committed POSIX fault fixture forks a helper into a
+separate process group, ignores SIGTERM and stalls. With a caller-selected
+2,000 ms deadline, the shared owned-command supervisor reported
+`OwnedCommandFailure` with reason `timeout` and no cleanup failure. The verifier
+failed as expected, its complete owned scope was cleaned, and its selected
+temporary root was empty. The separate robustness run used 55.080 s wall /
+45.246 s CPU / 1,563,475,968 B peak cgroup memory, with cleanup verified and no
+OOM. It earns no efficiency credit. An earlier 20 ms immediate-child timeout
+probe did not establish descendant cleanup; it remains a separate prior attempt.
+The detached-helper scenario was executed on Linux, not Windows or macOS.
+
+A deterministic CI regression also asserts two retained
+observations at the same source range, excludes an unavailable location, and
+checks agreement with the full item view; the count deliberately measures
+observations rather than unique source sites.
+
+## Reproduce
+
+Use the pinned Node/npm toolchain and `npm ci`, then `npm run build:cached`.
+Download/decompress the versioned application outside the checkout and check its
+digest. Run with an operator-selected absolute artifact path:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/verify/javascript/module-references.mjs \
+  --artifact /absolute/path/obsidian-1.14.4.asar \
+  --source-path package.json --source-path main.js \
+  --path main.js --kind javascript-module --rounds 3 --cli-parity \
+  --tokenizer-python /absolute/path/to/tiktoken-venv/bin/python
+```
+
+The optional Python interpreter needs tiktoken 0.12.0; omit that flag to skip
+token accounting. It has a 60-second wall-time deadline, configurable with the
+positive integer `--tokenizer-timeout-ms`. The tokenizer uses the existing
+owned-command supervisor, with native identity checks and inherited run-token
+sweeping for descendants. Inputs and temporary Evidence use the existing private
+runtime root. Cleanup attempts preserve the primary error; incomplete command
+cleanup retains its owner and private files for recovery. `--mode legacy` or
+`--mode references` runs one arm. Fresh runs
+reanalyze the artifact and can produce different parent identities/resource
+coverage; the verifier requires equal facts within its paired run. The measured
+run additionally used the preserved [8 GiB cgroup observer](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/b3bdabab694af1f9801eff7caf75001b92314a58/experiments/analysis-efficiency/resource-run.py)
+and its adjacent `resource_payload.py`; observer hashes are in the JSON.
+No application, complete bundle, raw observations or ambient environment is
+archived. Temporary exported/inline Evidence files are removed after successful
+owned-command cleanup.
+
+For the Linux descendant-timeout check, create an operator-selected private
+directory and set `REA_TOKENIZER_PROBE_RECORD` to a file within it. Run the same
+real-artifact command with `--mode references --rounds 1`, replace the tokenizer
+with the absolute path to `scripts/fixtures/tokenizer-family-wrapper.py`, and add
+`--tokenizer-timeout-ms 2000`. Expect a timeout failure. The explicit marker
+confirms the detached helper started; the resource observer must separately
+verify the complete owned scope is empty, and the selected temporary root must
+contain no verifier files. The recorded PID is an observation, not authority to
+signal that process.

+lane. `npm run verify:ghidra:windows -- --arm` or `-- --arm64`, optionally
+combined with `--dll`, selects encoded Thumb or ARM64 PE fixtures on a Windows

+compiler-produced programs. ARM64EC (machine 0xA641) and ARM64X are not admitted;
+this target support does not establish Windows-on-Arm host support.

+Real Windows x64 verification with Ghidra 12.1.4 and JDK 21 completed the ARM64

+resource-reference analysis and default-configuration completion are not
+established by these results. A Microsoft-signed Coreinfo ARM64 application also
+completed focused MCP decompilation, repeated readback, source-mapped memory
+reads, unchanged-input and cleanup checks. On this constrained host the first
+function query, including cold analysis, took about 434 seconds; its identical
+same-session read took about 23 ms and returned about 4.6 KiB of Evidence. These

+DLL verification also completed against Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 ARM
+`msvcr120.dll`, including decompilation of its exported `abs`, repeated readback,

+query took about 601 seconds; the same-session repeat took about 11 ms and
+returned about 4.8 KiB of Evidence. After preserving original COFF machines in the
+admission/profile, a further real Windows check rejected legacy ARM/Thumb and
+retained ARMNT/ARM64 admission. A rebuilt-candidate MSVCR120 query completed
+in about 407 seconds with a 15 ms repeat (4,830 bytes of Evidence), unchanged
+input and complete cleanup. That retry selected an 1,800-second startup budget
+after an additional 900-second attempt timed out. The resource bounds were

+# Fiddler SAZ selection checkpoint
+
+This experiment addresses [#3132](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/3132).
+Its runtime baseline is `ca1b2f8608c52ed721d3576ba5eeb1d66717b08c`.
+Production APIs and defaults are unchanged. The measured cohort establishes no
+stable whole-task token/time benefit; no new production preset, cache or API is
+justified by this checkpoint.

+Both archives come from Microsoft's

+
+`corpus.json` pins download URLs, file sizes, SHA-256, Git blob IDs, directory
+coverage and question ordinals. Downloaded bytes match their Git blob and
+SHA-256. A third public 103-session archive is pinned as an admission-negative
+probe, outside completed-question comparisons. Archive comments report their producer
+versions; no local Fiddler installation or independent producer-version proof
+is claimed.
+
+## Fixed analyst question
+
+Before examining transaction facts, select ordinals `[12, 0, 6]` in the control
+and `[1310, 0, 655]` in the larger archive. Return that caller-selected order,
+original padded session IDs and archive-member coordinates, request method/URL,
+response status/version, all recorded Content-Type pairs in their original
+spelling/order, and stored response-body byte length/SHA-256.
+
+Bodies retain their archived encoding. CONNECT trailing bytes are stored data,
+not an inferred HTTP application body or certificate interpretation. Empty bodies
+have zero bytes and the empty digest; an absent response remains absent. Header
+duplication/folding, Latin-1 spelling and binary body bytes are independently
+read without REA imports. Synthetic reader tests cover those semantics and
+malformed input; they establish no provider coverage.
+
+The oracle admits only immutable corpus size/digest matches before constructing
+ZIP objects, preserves central-directory session/member order, reads selected
+members with size sentinels and CRC validation, and checks the source digest
+again. Necessary facts are independently checked for all six selected records.
+
+```sh
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/test_saz_oracle.py
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/saz-oracle.py xbox-clear_nomp.saz /absolute/clear_nomp.saz
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/saz-oracle.py xbox-clear_mp_cs10.saz /absolute/clear_mp_cs10.saz
+```
+
+The baseline build, five oracle regressions and the SDK checker semantics passed
+on Linux. Real MCP preflight checks verify control retained pages/repeated reads,
+the large ordinal-selected result, and large complete-workflow recovery. The
+default large MCP return completes analysis but exceeds the existing 10 MiB stdio
+receive-buffer budget; its exact returned retained Evidence reference supports
+summary and complete pages. Recovery preserves the failed RPC and every follow-up
+call, and matches the independently checked necessary facts from direct selection.
+This transport limit is not a decoding timeout. Formal repetitions and actual
+model tasks are reported below; preflight observations are not eligible cost pairs.
+
+The 103-session `xbox-x49_mp_cs21.saz` candidate contains an empty stored response
+member `raw/099_s.txt`, lacking an HTTP header/body separator. On this baseline,
+whole-capture admission fails with `invalid_request` / `invalid_format`. Its
+ordinals `[102, 0, 51]` were fixed before inspecting its transaction facts. The
+failed attempt/source member is preserved as a negative probe; no parser repair
+or successful-task comparison is claimed for that archive.
+
+Other platform behavior remains unverified.
+Detailed outputs stay private; missing resource counters remain unknown.
+
+The large selected CLI workflow also matches independent bytes and MCP facts,
+parameters and Evidence ID. A separate default complete CLI attempt hit the
+provider's 30-second timeout under the one-CPU guard; that failed attempt is
+preserved separately from the successful-analysis MCP receive-buffer failure.
+It does not prove a general CLI failure or identify an engine-stage cause.
+
+Ten grading preflight cases cover valid actual Evidence, wrong final digests,
+unknown citations, missing limitations, answer order, failed calls before/after
+valid data, semantic-ID corruption and actual large retained recovery. Their
+answers/events are injected checker tests, not actual model trials. An invalid
+later duplicate is rejected by the domain's semantic-ID owner and does not erase
+earlier authenticated observations.

+Use the same runtime, inputs, explicit provider settings and resource profile
+within a cost cohort; retain runtime/workflow/oracle/settings fingerprints. Repeat
+both core archives with baseline/focused/focused/baseline order and retain all
+failures/recovery RPCs. The `retained` diagnostic workflow also measures preview,
+two complete pages and a repeated first page. Preview omits headers, so preview
+alone is not equivalent to the complete header/body question.
+
+Run real Codex tasks through `agent-trial.py` with an isolated temporary profile,
+the two exact `inspect_web_network_capture` / `inspect_analysis_view` tools,
+the same requested model/reasoning and at least two baseline/focused pairs for
+the control. Grade cited observations with `review-saz.mjs`, an independently
+produced oracle and the tested runtime. Count whole-task input/output tokens,
+cached input, elapsed time and all calls; parsed JSON bytes are not model tokens.
+The executed scope and all failed/deviating trials follow below.
+
+## Executed SDK cohort
+
+Runtime is frozen at `ca1b2f8608c52ed721d3576ba5eeb1d66717b08c`; corrected
+experiment source is `286c3e48ad50d9e84baa3af00ca522a8cef36e95`. All corrected
+SDK runtime/workflow/oracle/provider-setting fingerprints match. Node is 24.18.0
+and MCP SDK is 2.3.1. SDK processes have a 1 GiB Node heap ceiling; model MCP
+profiles separately record 512 MiB. Compare within each cohort.
+
+The initial batch preserves 12 workflows / 36 RPCs. Two control baseline collectors
+incorrectly expected omitted request ordinals to remain omitted in Evidence;
+the owning application records the resolved full scope. Original RPC arguments
+preserve omission. Both saved replies independently validate correct typed
+Evidence/facts after the checker correction. Original failures, hashes and costs
+remain unchanged and are not pooled into the corrected batch.
+
+The corrected batch executes 12 workflows / 32 RPCs: **11 workflows pass** all necessary
+byte/header/member checks with equal facts across successful arms. One large
+default complete query hits `provider_timeout` at the 30-second provider budget.
+Failed complete-return RPCs in successful retained recovery also stay in cost.
+
+| Archive / workflow | Repetition outcomes | All parsed reply bytes | RPC ms                | Whole runner ms       |
+| ------------------ | ------------------- | ---------------------: | --------------------- | --------------------- |
+| control / baseline | passed / passed     |        249272 / 249272 | 817.904 / 817.032     | 5393.982 / 4922.524   |

+| large / baseline   | failed / passed     |           520 / 114294 | 32303.203 / 13623.033 | 52432.342 / 18064.360 |

+
+Control direct selection reduces parsed replies **73.8%**. Large complete-result
+recovery delivers 114,294 bytes, while direct ordinal selection retains the original
+container inventory and delivers 535,767 bytes. The five-call retained diagnostic
+delivers 174,477 bytes, including preview and repeated-page verification. A smaller
+record set alone does not guarantee less delivery; bytes are not wire bytes or
+model tokens.
+
+Initial RPCs combine decoding, validation, canonicalization and delivery; no
+decode-only/format-only attribution is claimed. First-use and repeated retained
+reads remain separate RPC observations. Fresh client/server processes do not
+establish cold OS/provider caches. Substantial time variation precludes a stable
+general speedup claim.
+
+## Actual Codex outcomes
+
+Four actual Codex CLI 0.161.0 trials request `gpt-5.6-terra`/`high` with the same
+two enabled/preapproved passive tools in baseline/focused/focused/baseline order.
+The requested alias is pinned; resolved backend identity is unknown. Temporary
+profiles preserve original bytes. The requested mode is `direct`, but owned
+tool-context logs show actual `exec` discovery/dispatch; neither guaranteed direct
+presentation nor exact submitted model requests are established.
+
+| Trial      | Facts / fixed plan | MCP calls | Total input | Cached input | Uncached input, derived | Output | Seconds |
+| ---------- | ------------------ | --------: | ----------: | -----------: | ----------------------: | -----: | ------: |
+| baseline-1 | passed / failed    |         4 |      97,988 |       53,504 |                  44,484 |  1,556 |  51.266 |
+| focused-1  | passed / failed    |         2 |      96,433 |       51,456 |                  44,977 |  1,400 |  52.288 |
+| focused-2  | failed / failed    |         0 |      21,379 |        9,984 |                  11,395 |    317 |  16.301 |
+| baseline-2 | passed / failed    |         4 |     172,043 |      125,696 |                  46,347 |  1,943 |  62.570 |
+
+**Three of four tasks answer correctly.** All three add compatible retained-view
+calls and differ from the initially prescribed single MCP-call plan. These
+successful completed-task costs stay visible separately from plan conformance.
+Baselines read three exact record views; the successful focus reads one complete
+selected-parent page.
+
+The second focus makes zero MCP calls and reports unavailable tools. Its owned
+exact-name discovery returns an empty list, while the same names work in other
+trials; stderr is empty. The cause is unknown, not proof of a REA outage. Keep
+its 21,379 input tokens / 16.301 seconds as a failed task, without a replacement retry
+or an apparent speed win.
+
+Only the first pair completes both questions: total input decreases **1.6%**,
+time increases **2.0%**, and derived uncached input increases **1.1%**. The second
+pair has no completed focused question; no paired speed/token claim is valid.
+Limitation prose was inspected: successful answers qualify stored bytes,
+ZIP-directory order and absent transfer/content decoding. This small mixed cohort
+justifies **no production optimization**.
+
+## Resource and compatibility scope
+
+Heavy work is serial with one CPU, 3 GiB early stop / 4 GiB hard family memory, no swap,
+task ceilings and host-availability/ownership checks. Corrected SDK payload-exit
+peak is 906,825,728 bytes (**865 MiB**); model peak is 873,148,416 bytes (**833 MiB**).
+All 16 corrected SDK/model payload phases verify cleanup, no observed OOM/abort
+and captured CPU counters. Terminal whole-scope counters remain unknown. Failed
+tool/model tasks do not become correct because their process exits cleanly.
+
+Family CPU seconds at payload exit span 5.898–44.331 for corrected SDK workflows
+(median 15.808), including failed/recovered attempts. Model baseline/focus/focus/
+baseline observations are 7.573 / 7.303 / 5.810 / 7.618 CPU seconds; the third
+model task failed and cannot establish an efficiency gain. These counters include
+the owned runner/client/server/observer family, not decoder-only CPU.
+
+Verification covers Linux, two immutable positive archives plus one genuine
+partial-message negative source, one installed parser stack and one requested
+model alias. Other platforms, Fiddler acquisition/import, live deployment or
+certificate semantics, arbitrary layouts, direct presentation guarantees and
+unmeasured engine stages remain unknown. Complete defaults, caller choices,
+encoded bytes, redactions, semantic Evidence identity and session-owned views
+remain the compatibility baseline. Reuse existing selectors/views; expand
+SDK/cache/default behavior only after completed tasks show a benefit.

+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+
+  This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
+the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
+License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
+
+  0. Additional Definitions.
+
+  As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
+General Public License.
+
+  "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
+other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
+
+  An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
+by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
+Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
+of using an interface provided by the Library.
+
+  A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
+Application with the Library.  The particular version of the Library
+with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
+Version".
+
+  The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
+Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
+for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
+based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
+
+  The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
+object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
+and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
+Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
+
+  1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
+
+  You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
+without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
+
+  2. Conveying Modified Versions.
+
+  If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
+facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
+that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
+facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
+version:
+
+   a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
+   ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
+   function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
+   whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
+
+   b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
+   this License applicable to that copy.
+
+  3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
+
+  The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
+a header file that is part of the Library.  You may convey such object
+code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
+material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
+layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
+(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
+
+   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
+   Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
+   covered by this License.
+
+   b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
+   document.
+
+  4. Combined Works.
+
+  You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
+taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
+portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
+engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
+the following:
+
+   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
+   the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
+   covered by this License.
+
+   b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
+   document.
+
+   c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
+   execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
+   these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
+   copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
+
+   d) Do one of the following:
+
+       0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
+       License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
+       suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
+       recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
+       the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
+       manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
+       Corresponding Source.
+
+       1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
+       Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
+       a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
+       system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
+       of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
+       Version.
+
+   e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
+   be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
+   GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
+   necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
+   Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
+   Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
+   you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
+   the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
+   Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
+   Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
+   for conveying Corresponding Source.)
+
+  5. Combined Libraries.
+
+  You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
+Library side by side in a single library together with other library
+facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
+License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
+choice, if you do both of the following:
+
+   a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
+   on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
+   conveyed under the terms of this License.
+
+   b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
+   is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
+   accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
+
+  6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
+versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
+Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
+of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
+applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
+conditions either of that published version or of any later version
+published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
+received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
+whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
+apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
+permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
+Library.
