The rewritten test tolerated the interleaving where a fast command
settles before the running turn's next pre-step claim. The notice is
then folded into a step whose scripted reply is final, the turn closes
with an empty next-step inbox, and the collection entries are never
reached — a real timeout, not a tolerated ordering.
The command now blocks on a sentinel the test creates only after the
agent has gone idle, so the wake is the only path that can deliver the
notice, and the test asserts exactly two turns.
Also apply the review's smaller points: key the wake budget by Agent
rather than object, register the budget-refill listener only under
wakeup delivery, pin the schema default and rejection like
reportDelivery does, record the retirement-window stranding as a Known
Limitation, and cross-link the partial supersession both ways.
A throwing producer cancel jumped to the force-fail branch before
`reported` was set, so `settle()` announced an unreported completion and
the default wakeup delivery started a model turn on an owner the host
was already destroying — the exact failure mode marking the record
reported exists to prevent.
Teardown claims the report before calling the producer, because that
decision does not depend on whether the producer's cancel succeeds.
Also reject a `maxConsecutiveWakes` that cannot bound anything: the
field exists to cap a runaway chain, and `Infinity` removed the cap
while a fraction never named a turn.
Correct the module JSDoc and the background-task runtime note, both of
which still promised that notices never wake an idle agent.
Completion notices went through agent.inject(), which never reserves a
driver, so a task settling after its turn closed left the notice parked
until unrelated input woke the agent — while the same prompt told the
model not to poll for it.
An unreported completion now picks its lane from the owner's state: a
busy owner is injected as before, an idle owner is woken with
followup(). This adopts the delivery rule the subagent continuation
manager already ships. maxConsecutiveWakes bounds the self-exciting
chain and is reset by user-authored input; completionDelivery: quiet
restores the old lane for deterministic transcripts.
Teardown cancellation now claims the terminal report the way kill()
already does, so an owner being destroyed is never woken, and settle()
announces completion last so a reporter that opens a turn synchronously
sees a committed record.
