renewLeases renewed whenever a session existed and PaneCapture succeeded,
so a pane that opened and never accepted a prompt held its lease forever.
That is the mechanism behind the July stuck task: the launch failed and
nothing ever let go.
Renewal now needs the agent to be busy, or the pane capture to differ from
the one recorded at the previous renewal. The first renewal has no baseline,
so it records one and passes; the next must show movement.

Burn-in run 2 recorded TaskLaunchAcknowledged, opened a pane, and ran nothing
for fifteen minutes. The launch instruction sat in Claude Code's input editor
as "[Pasted text #1 +66 lines]" at zero tokens and zero elapsed. Two separate
bugs produced that.
The transport was wrong for the harness. TmuxBackend.Prompt writes the whole
instruction with send-keys -l and then sends Enter, and the TUI coalesces the
fast multi-line write into a paste that absorbs the following Enter. Launch
transport is now a backend property rather than one universal prompt format:
claude on tmux submits a single line pointing at .orchestra/launch.md, every
other harness keeps the inline path it was verified on. agentctx is unchanged
and the file still holds the exact bytes Orchestra rendered, so what the agent
receives is identical either way. Under the file transport a failed write is
now a failed launch, because there the file is the instruction.
The acknowledgement was also wrong. It meant "Prompt returned nil", not "the
harness accepted the prompt". Backends may now implement ConfirmLaunch, and
the tmux one polls until the input editor clears and the agent is observably
busy, blocked on approval, or at least no longer holding the text. An editor
that still holds the prompt at the deadline is a definite failure. The worker
kills the pane, drops the session so the retry starts clean, and returns
ErrPromptNotSubmitted, which classifies as prompt_not_submitted rather than
launch_uncertain. That class already falls through to TaskReleased, so the
existing retry path takes it and no lease is held on a launch that never
happened.
The confirmation bound is tunable because how fast a terminal harness reacts
is a property of the host. It is not a sleep before the submit: the submit is
deterministic, and this waits for the harness to visibly react to it.

The burn-in pairs a coordinator with a worker, and step one of every run is
checking that both report the burn-in commit. That was only visible behind the
operator login, at /v1/admin/diagnostics and /v1/federation/workers, and the
worker never logged its own revision at all. Both now print it on startup, so
`docker logs orchestra-api` and `journalctl -u orchestra-worker` are enough.

The v3 stack, previously an uncommitted working tree, plus this session's two
units and the burn-in instrument. This commit is the burn-in build identity:
coordinator and worker must both report this revision before a task is created.
Workflow (earlier sessions, uncommitted until now): human decision events and
reduction, source cursors and reconcile-before-launch, turn-boundary
reconciliation, internal/agentctx as the single renderer, ace-fca phases with
sealed artifacts, the trajectory gate, bounded grilling, independent review,
task pr enforcement, and human review reflection.
Capability restrictions at the agent boundary: an authz.Agent surface at
GatedWrite may ask and may not act. It also fixes two bugs the unit exposed --
gated surfaces could not reach the two endpoints written for them, and
RequestHumanDecision would block an unowned task while rejecting a question
from the session that did own it.
Turn-boundary reconcile-failure escalation: a streak of consecutive failures
asks the session to hand off, fenced on the lease epoch, with reconcile_failure
as a real handoff reason. The worker was dropping the coordinator's verdict on
the floor; it now acts on it.
Burn-in: herdr.WriteLaunchContext dumps the exact agentctx.Build result to
<worktree>/.orchestra/launch.md at every launch, local and federated. BURNIN.md
is the runbook. deploy/build.sh stamps both binaries from one commit.
go build, go vet and go test ./... pass, 20 packages.

Introduces the browser-facing surface and the worker-side protocol that
backs it:
- internal/ui: joined read model plus per-task lifecycle and approval
controls, kept separate from the raw endpoints workers and harnesses
depend on.
- internal/webui + web/: Vite/React app, build output embedded via
go:embed and served as an SPA fallback.
- federation: per-(worker, task) captures with a monotonic revision that
advances only when pane text actually changes, and a command queue
restricted to grant_approval / deny_approval, each bound to the capture
revision the operator acted on.
- orchestra-worker: publishes captures and executes commands only after
re-reading the pane and confirming the revision still matches. Sends
keystrokes only for a visible y/n prompt or OpenCode's fully labelled
selector, and refuses to deny through that selector rather than guess
at unobservable navigation.
This is the ownership boundary AUDIT.md's B14 and B17 call for: approval
becomes an explicit, revision-bound operation executed by the worker that
owns the pane, instead of a side effect of prompting over a
coordinator-driven remote socket.
Also ignores the web build inputs and outputs. node_modules ships vendored
Go packages, so go build and go test walk into it if it is merely
untracked; both node_modules and .node_modules are excluded.
