The two claimant sets that live in the daemon are where the arbitration is
least visible: both are a hardcoded order of functions that each answer 'is
this mine?' alone. The ladder declares its roster up front, so a rung that
never ran is named rather than omitted, and the query chain does the same for
the sources below the one that claimed.
Recording is installed in runTurn and not in the IPC entry point, so the mic,
telegram and the web leave the same trail. A record only the web produced would
be missing exactly the turns that are hardest to reproduce.
