Task 5.4 of a-lease-says-who, the one item that could not be closed
from a written file: only a real run shows that the identity a chain
records is the identity the command reports.

A chain run of a throwaway change in a scratch workspace whose
user.email is set, driven by openspec-ui-cli run built from this
change: apply -> verify -> archive, exit 0.

While it held the workspace:

  • .openspec-ui/workspace.lease.json was written by the run itself and
    carries "hostKind": "cli", its pid, and the git identity.
  • lease named that identity and exited 0; --format json returned the
    reader's own shape and exited 0.
  • lease release refused it and exited 1, naming stopping the process
    as the remedy; the lease file was still there afterwards.
  • On the way past, 1.6 against a real conflict: a second
    openspec-ui-cli run was refused with exit 2 and a message naming the
    same git author.

After the run ended: the lease file was gone, lease printed "Nothing
holds this workspace." (exit 0) and lease release printed "Nothing
held this workspace." (exit 0, the already-free outcome).

Documentation only — the lease file, both outputs and the exit codes are
recorded in tasks.md. No source changes, so no changeset.
openspec validate --strict --changes: 1 passed, 0 failed.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

A real chain run held a scratch workspace while `lease` and
`lease release` were asked about it, and again after it ended. Records
5.4 of a-lease-says-who: the lease file the run itself wrote, both
outputs, and the exit codes — 0 answering who holds it, 1 refusing to
clear a live holder, 0 once nothing held it.

The unit tests drive the reader with written files. This is the first
run to show that the identity a chain records is the identity the
command reports, and the same conflict message a second run is refused
with.
