The cold run already had no positive peer update to wait on, so the gate would sit until the same 32 second bound and still not start gossip. The next two runs of that same SHA already joined in 2.77 seconds and 1.82 seconds once one update arrived. Readiness does not make the first process receive that update, and a retry-until-ready loop would turn the warm restart into a false green.

Root should apply these narrow deltas to the isolated fixture and retest before any crate move. The old row stays in place on every refusal. Renewal requires the same actor, session, claim id, PR, and exact files. `scope_matches` must reject a different `next.session` with `Mismatch`. A replaced session waits until expiry and does not receive an overlapping lease. Update the renewal test that currently changes session.

One auto-commit `UPDATE ... WHERE id=1 AND epoch=? AND body_sha=? RETURNING epoch` is the atomic commit. Worker 0.8.7 is not treated as having `transactionSync`. A Durable Object applies other input only when the handler awaits, and SQLite makes that single statement one commit. Native SQLite tests prove this core. They do not prove a later worker binding. […] The native tests use the same SQL text: reopen after commit, stale epoch left intact, replay, changed body, session replacement, renewal CAS, retired id, PR and case-folded path conflicts, expiry boundary, rollback, capacity, corrupt snapshot, and the commit-then-error injection. The wasm32 check compiles this core with the SQLite adapter excluded. No route, session-table edit, gossip, deploy, or lease grant is in this unit. The future handler must read the current session and call `decide` in the same turn, with no `await` between them.
