@coderabbitai review Please re-review exact head 9fbb9f1. The prior actionable findings are addressed: the broker-unavailable code remains distinct after hold restoration; the brokered guard harness asserts the exact resumed PID set; and the support-identity zip already uses strict=True. Focused runtime-control validation passed 16/16 and the full PR validator passed. |

Commit under review: 8af78cf
Product scope: PASS. Issue #9485 records the accepted existing runtime-state-mutation lifecycle, ownership, recovery constraints, and validation plan. This PR does not create a new supported integration. The issue correctly remains open for the required post-merge main-commit repetitions.
Review verdict: APPROVE. I found no actionable correctness, architecture, lifecycle, compatibility, data-safety, concurrency, TOCTOU, explanatory-text, or maintenance blocker. The transient writer census now ignores only a stale observation, then rescans and binds any replacement by its full identity. Durable references still fail closed. Docker activation also requires the exact transport broker before any writer is resumed, and failed acquisition restores the hold. Connect recovery remains bounded to one attempt and revalidates receipt, registry, executable, policy, and lifecycle authority before readiness.
Security review: PASS across all nine categories: command or shell injection; secrets; SSRF; authentication and authorization; data handling and privacy; permissions; cryptography and secret handling; dependency or supply-chain risk; and unsafe-code patterns. The changed paths strengthen process identity, policy-mutation ownership, secret redaction, and fail-closed recovery. No warning or failure remains.
Validation and review-cycle evidence:
- Independently reviewed all 17 changed files, production callers, contributor intent, ownership, restore paths, and changed explanatory text.
- Focused local validation: 142 tests passed across CLI, integration, and E2E-support projects; CLI type-check passed; source-shape, mock/live parity, test-title, diff, and all 19 narrow repository checks passed.
- The source-shape Advisor warning points only to pre-existing assertions. This PR removes a source-text assertion, adds behavior coverage, and the repository gate reports zero source-shape cases. The title suggestion is non-blocking and the title-style gate passes.
- Trusted runs 33345869510 and 33347410555 each restored the immutable candidate artifact for this commit. Hermes MCP and Shields targets passed twice with credential scans and cleanup passing.
- Terminal pagination: 14 issue comments, 8 reviews, 12 inline comments, 8 resolved threads with every nested page terminal, 17 commits, and 82 check runs. All commits are GitHub Verified. The repository DCO check passes.
- Cross-issue sweep: no supported adjacent fix or contradiction above the medium-confidence floor. The related controller foundation PR #10363 is already merged; no open PR owns this slice.
- Current CodeRabbit review has no actionable finding. PR Review Advisor specialists passed; the two advisory notes above are resolved by the repository contracts. CodeQL reports no new alert in changed code.
Required-CI eligibility: ELIGIBLE. The live main ruleset requires checks, commit-lint, dco-check, check-hash, and changes. The first four are successful; changes is policy-permitted skipped after its successful commit-bound run.
GitHub merge state before this review: OPEN, non-draft, MERGEABLE/BLOCKED only on required review, squash auto-merge off.

Outcome
Hermes runtime-state mutation fencing now survives a transient writer disappearing, being reused, or changing identity between census and pidfd binding. The controller never signals through the stale observation; it rescans and handles the replacement only under its fresh full process identity, while durable supervisor, entrypoint, support, and activation references remain fail-closed.
Reason
Current
mainreproduced issue #9485 in the exact Hermes Shields acceptance job. The second Shields cycle reportedroot helper acquire did not complete successfully: writer-pid-reusedeven though the first cycle passed and cleanup completed. The dynamic unexpected-writer census incorrectly promoted this safe turnover race to the same hard failure used for durable fence identity drift.Related issues

This changes the root-only runtime state-mutation helper. The swallowed condition is restricted to dynamic unexpected-writer census observations. A stale observation is never signaled; the loop rescans before acting on any replacement. Exact persisted fence references, writer-account/root checks, private-procfs checks, pidfd requirements, bounded TERM/KILL deadlines, stable-scan proof, and final writer-exclusion assertion are unchanged.
