feat(managed-agent): member board tools ride the session_command channel end to end (H4e-b3b) (#13928)

* feat(managed-agent): member board tools ride the session_command channel end to end (H4e-b3b)

Carry decision 13's second wave from the team-member-commands design: members of an open team write and read their leader's task board through the session_command channel. A member's board call mints an outbound entry on her own journal before her Turn parks on an await_command checkpoint (never carrying an input, digest-bound args/reply pairs, per-run budget, batch-locked against Workspace or Runtime siblings); the message relay's new command pass drives it in sender order to the leader — planned → handover → execute → answered, never through consume — and the parked call folds the leader's reply back and marks the entry consumed. The leader executes off the model Turn path: replay-stable receipts for board_writes, an open-team member on its running chain head for fresh commands, the member-facing refusal texts, and a board_read that changes nothing and never receipts.

Both languages carry the contract, the lineage and resource rules, and the store side of the line. The lead's execute answers a not-yet-attached sender's run with a 409 session_command_blocked the relay retries without spending attempts (it can outrun the control plane's attach commit), while a genuine lineage or evidence mismatch stays a terminal session_command_refused. The wait holds a 2-minute bound from the outbox's commit; its timeout tells planned asks 'not sent', handed asks 'reached the leader, reply missing, write possibly landed', and locks the rest of the batch under one text, and the harness descent into await_command now resumes or settles every named wait from the journal alone (decision 14). A member Session declares the three tools exactly behind her lineage, the enabled domain, and her member preamble — never before all three are true — and join keeps refusing 'parent' as a name.

On the aisle where recovery and workspace restore walk the journal, session_command joins the recoverable-domain whitelist so a member holding a commanded write never wedges her later loads, and qwencode classifies await_command like await_agent so a Turn parked on it takes over cleanly. G3 physical: two members write and read back the board, their leader reads it, a member's write races a leader's write without a phantom create, and a member Harness restart mid-wait lands her report anyway — each over a real MariaDB stack with scripted models (HostedTeamMemberCommandMySqlIT, 2/2).

* test(managed-agent): admit the scenario lead over the internal TeamLead lane (#13674)

The public Shell admission a8990042 introduced is behind its own
workspace-shell opt-in and approval-mode gate, so a Session written to
hosted-workspace-shell/1 by test fixtures now refuses every wake POST as
workspace_unavailable even when the lane is enabled. The MySQL Scenario
ITs ride the same internal TeamLead profile the baseline migrated to:
insert the lead over the trusted internal lane and let it pin the team
lead profile itself; no public Shell flag is involved.

* test(managed-agent): align the team MySQL ITs with b3b and the broker opt-out

Members of an open team now declare the three board verbs (task_create,
task_list, task_update) through the session_command channel, so the
team-lead fixture's lead-only exclusion narrows to team_create and
team_delete. The scenario IT's child-result settles may end close_debt
whatever the OS — delivered, with only the workspace close owed — so
both settle gates accept it as terminal.

The broker's durable local-process mode only exists on Linux; the
team-lead fixture now opts it out on non-Linux hosts instead of
shipping the flag unconditionally, keeping Linux CI's boot surface
identical. Without workspace execution a workspace Session's close
answers 409 workspace_unavailable: closeAndSettle tolerates it (no
operation binds to wait on) and the cascade case aborts through
Assumptions rather than failing where its premise cannot run.

Verified locally on macOS: both ITs, 5 tests run, 0 failures, 0
errors, 1 skipped (the cascade case abort), BUILD SUCCESS.

* test(cli): give the budget witness its own timeout budget

The merged-b3a run slows each member-side command commit enough that
255 hand-minted outbound records plus the assertion ride past Vitest's
15 s default on a shared runner, while the rule's own check is single-
digit seconds on an idle box. The budget's witness now carries an
explicit 30 s allowance rather than riding the suite-wide default.

* fix(managed-agent): judge command order by the outbound's open window

A cancelled outbound's leftover relaying row never gets another scan —
HANDOVER_SQL selects only planned/accepting/unknown records — so the
ledger-only open predicate held every later command of that sender
behind it forever, deferring each one every five seconds without
spending an attempt. The row's open window is the record's
planned/accepting span; a terminal record never blocks again, whatever
row state its last step left.

Refs: QwenLM/qwen-code#13928 review 4244450992.

* fix(managed-agent): classify a sender-terminal command on sight

HANDOVER_SQL still selects a command record whose accepting span the
member's own timeout flipped to cancelled or unknown, and workCommand
only distinguished planned: the terminal entry fell through to the
leader's execute, re-running a command its sender already saw settled —
the second execution decision 2 forbids, live in the member's board the
next time it re-reads or retries a write. A non-planned, non-accepting
record is classified on sight and returned, whatever the ledger row
holds; the classification depends on the record's own committed state,
not on the row having been classified first.

* fix(serve): answer a never-sent command wait on resume, never settle nothing

The await_command checkpoint names every call of the batch before any
outbound entry commits, so an owner that exits between the two leaves
a run with no record. The recovered wait anchored the bound on the
resume itself, waited the full two minutes, and then settled cancelled
— which throws "has no record to revise" — leaving the parked call
unfoldable and the Turn unresumable. A missing record is permanent, so
the resumed poll ends the wait at once with the live arm's own not-sent
answer, word for word (decision 14), and folds the run.

Refs: QwenLM/qwen-code#13928 review 4244450991.

* fix(serve): carry decision 4's command timeout lock in the wait group

The lock that refuses every later command of a Turn once one command
timed out lived only in the owning Turn's memory: after the result and
the folded checkpoint committed, a restart raised a fresh
HostedWorkspaceToolTurn for the same prompt and the next board_write
minted an outbound that ran to consumed — exactly the leader silence
the lock existed to refuse. The fold that carried the timeout now
stamps the group, every later fold carries the stamp, a fresh wait
starts clean, and a replacement owner of the Turn re-arms from the
carried group before it mints the next wait.

Refs: QwenLM/qwen-code#13928 review 4244450997.

* fix(serve): fold the parked wait on a member-facing command refusal

The await_command checkpoint commits before the batch's first outbound
entry, so a budget_exhausted (or byte_limit) refusal that answered the
call but skipped the fold left the Turn's durable wait parked: the next
command call of the same Turn met its own durable wait and surfaced as
a recovery fault instead of the same local refusal. The member-facing
refusal arm now answers and folds, like every arm that runs.

Refs: QwenLM/qwen-code#13928 review 4244451000.

* fix(serve): judge member addBlocks writes against the board as it stands

A well-formed but absent addBlocks target reached the ownership probe
before the reference check, so memberTaskUpdate read undefined.owner
and escaped as a TypeError instead of an answer. Existence now comes
first, in the initial validation and again per replayed place. And a
partially committed task_update replayed only an owner check for its
remaining places: an edge the original validation allowed could since
have closed a cycle on the live board, which the authority rightly
refused — but the refusal escaped execute as a fault, so the relay
retried it forever and the member never got its receipt. Each remaining
place is now re-validated against the board as it stands, and the
authority's deterministic conflict rides the same Not-committed
receipt.

Refs: QwenLM/qwen-code#13928 reviews 4244451002, 4244451008.

* fix(serve): answer a never-sent command wait on resume even when cancelled, never settle nothing

The recovered wait checked the cancelled signal before checking whether
the checkpointed call's outbound ever existed: an owner that cancelled a
recovery over a parked, never-minted call fell into the journal arm,
which treated the missing record as planned and settled cancelled —
throwing "has no record to revise" with neither the tool result nor
the fold committed, stranding the wait at await_command. The
missing-record arm now runs before every signal arm, and the shared
journal answer treats an absent record as the planned arm, never
reaching settle.

* fix(serve): rebuild the command timeout lock from the journaled answer, not just the fold

The lock that refuses every later command of a Turn after one timeout
relied on the fold carrying the timedOut stamp: the dead owner commits
the unknown (or cancelled) tool result first and the fold stamps second,
so a crash between the two leaves a takeover owner holding a group that
still reads timedOut=false. The next command of that prompt then mints a
fresh outbound and rides to consumed — the leader stayed unanswering and
nobody told the model. The owner now also re-arms from this prompt's
journaled timeout answer itself (decision 14's own texts and the locked
leader-unanswering text), so the persisted evidence of the timeout never
depends on the last fold having succeeded.

Refs: QwenLM/qwen-code#13928 review 4246316346.

* fix(serve): re-check the blocker cap per remaining place on a replayed member task_update

The replay loop re-validated existence, ownership and cycle for each
remaining addBlocks place against the board as it stands, but never the
blocker-count limit the initial whole-command check covers: a partially
committed command whose leader since filled its target to the cap met
teamTaskRevisionBody's own "blockedBy exceeds 64 entries" record error, a
deterministic refusal that surfaced as an escape fault — no receipt for
the relay, the same error again at the next retry. Each remaining place
now re-evaluates the current board's picker count against the maximum
before committing, folding the deterministic refusal into the same
Not-committed receipt the cycle and authority checks already fill; true
storage faults still escape.

Refs: QwenLM/qwen-code#13928 review 4246316356.

* fix(serve): stamp decision 4's lock at detection time, never scan tool-result text

Two repair attempts rebuilt the timeout lock from journaled tool-result
text, and both misfired on legitimate data: an ordinary task_list reply
that contains the leader-unanswering words as its subject locked the
Turn's next command, and the missing-record path's planned-not-sent
answer did the same on a healthy continuation. A crash between the
settle(unknown) write and the tool_result commit passed the window too —
the record is already terminal and nothing structural says the Turn
timed out once. The lock now has exactly one durable carrier: the wait
group's own timedOut field, stamped at deadline detection time by
markCommandWaitTimeout before every other commit the timeout arm makes
(settle, tool_result, fold). Recovery re-arms from that field, never
from what text happened to land in the journal, and the prompt still
recognizes the genuinely-timed-out chain and refuses it identically.

* fix(serve): keep decision 4's lock on the Turn and settle the timed-out call by its journal

The timeout lock lived on the command wait group, which the Turn's next
command batch replaces and its Runtime work clears, so a takeover in
either window let a later board call mint an outbound and reach the
leader. The lock is now a root `commandLock` naming the Turn that
stamped it: every checkpoint of that Turn carries it, and a checkpoint
of another Turn drops it.

A recovered wait no longer answers every run with the leader-unanswering
text once the lock is on. A run whose outbound exists is the call whose
own wait timed out — its owner may have died between stamping the lock
and settling the entry — so its journal answers it: planned is cancelled
as not sent, accepting becomes unknown, a settled state is said as
committed. Only a run that sent nothing gets the fixed refusal, as in
the live arm, which applies the same rule to a re-driven call.

* fix(serve): never consume a timed-out call on resume, and end the lock with its Turn

A recovered wait answered a timed-out call through the journal even when
its answer was already committed, so a relay reply copied in after the
settle was consumed although the call only ever read the unknown
evidence. A call already answered was settled first, so the lock arm now
only folds it, as the funnel's rule for timed-out calls requires.

The next-turn-ready checkpoint marks its Turn finished, whether it is
written under the settled Turn's id or the next prompt's, so it drops
the lock: an idle Session carries no commandLock key. The carry also
tolerates an in-memory checkpoint shaped without the key.

* fix(serve): let the takeover continue a member's command wait, and answer its committed commands by journal

The takeover reports a parked member Turn as await_command and qwencode
calls continue for it, but the continue route admitted only results_ready
and the agent wait, so every command wait was refused with
continuation_not_ready and resumeCommandWaitRuns was unreachable. The
gate now admits the command wait the same way, through the resume arm
that was already written for it.

The load and settle routes answer an interrupted Turn's owed calls before
reading its round. A member's board calls share the team tools' names,
so a committed command was answered "never ran" while its outbound stayed
planned or accepting for the relay to deliver later. Those routes now
carry the command funnel, and a call whose outbound committed is answered
by its journal — planned cancelled, accepting unknown, a reply as the
reply — through the helper the cancelled wait already used.

* fix(serve): a resumed command call consumes only the reply it commits

The lock arm already folds a timed-out call whose answer was journaled
without consuming it. The unlocked arms kept consuming: a call cancelled
or timed out as unknown, whose owner died before the fold, read the
unknown evidence, yet a reply the relay copied in afterwards was marked
consumed on resume. Both the journal arm and the resumed reply arm now
consume only when the reply is what they commit.

* fix(serve): keep a resumed command wait off the Workspace mount, and cancel it through the recovery cancel

Now that the continue route admits the command wait, its resume fell
into the Runtime-results branch, whose acquire claims the Workspace
mount for a Turn that never held it — a member shares its lead's
Workspace, so a busy mount failed the recovered Turn after its commands
had folded. A command wait whose Turn did not hold the mount takes the
agent wait's branch; one that held it got it back in its resume arm.

A cancelled takeover of a Turn parked on a command wait was classed as
owing no Runtime settlement, so the load settled it plainly and left the
checkpoint at await_command, refusing the next Turn's model start. Like
the agent wait, it now goes to the recovery cancel, which answers each
run by its journal and folds it.
