Exercise the real Windows-to-WSL service lifecycle and plugin provisioning through native, mounted and aliased discovery roots. Use guarded fixture-owned registrations, unique service ports and fully isolated environments; record actual watcher behavior, measured lease heartbeats, explicit reload, restart and cleanup.
Characterize reload with a held synthetic provider stream and native pending Form, Shell and PTY. Verify one successful provider request without replay and record native resource teardown. Update all locale descriptions to explicitly include terminals and background commands.
Bound the whole fixture, native requests, predicates and cleanup independently. Handle detached event-consumer failures immediately while preserving awaited failure reporting. Seven guard regressions and final real aliased reload-safety acceptance pass; autonomous gatekeeper re-review reports no remaining fixture findings.
