• 🔴 (09:10) User directed that recovery must never recover an execution superseded by a newer assistant.
• 🔴 (09:10) User directed that recovery must never recover an assistant-less ${phase} execution superseded by a newer assistant.
• 🟡 (09:10) The parameterized supersession test at packages/core/test/session-projector.test.ts:493 uses assistant_seq: -1 for an assistant-less execution; nearby fixture identity includes execution ID "assistant-less-current" and recovered-event type "session.next.step.recovered.1".
• 🟡 (09:10) The fairness test at packages/core/test/session-projector.test.ts:828, "fairly redrives recovery and ordinary work beyond a full bounded batch", tracks first wakes and creates ordinary fresh-wake message IDs using the pattern msg_ordinary_fresh_wake_${index.toString().padStart(3, "0")}.
• 🟡 (09:11) The fresh-prompt retry-debt test verifies SessionTable.wake_attempts resets exactly to 0.
• 🟡 (09:11) The invalid persisted-attempt-counter test directly executes UPDATE session_recovery SET wake_attempts = ${MAX_WAKE_ATTEMPTS + 1}.
• 🔴 (09:11) User directed that recovery must never wake work settled between selection and the redrive CAS.
• 🟡 (09:11) The race test at packages/core/test/session-projector.test.ts:1114, "never wakes work settled between selection and redrive CAS", includes an input with delivery: "steer" and validates both recovery-row and ordinary-session state after the race.
