repairDiscoveredSurface copies continuity metadata from any auto-* row sharing the mutable surface_id, including rows whose UUID conflicts with discovered. When a surface ref is recycled, the new managed record therefore inherits stale cli_session_id, lineage, and revive state from a different surface. Restrict continuityRecord to an auto row with no UUID conflict and a validated observed binding.

Repairing a surface with an auto continuity row resets revive_attempts and the retry/backoff outcome fields to their defaults, so an agent with exhausted or delayed recovery bookkeeping can immediately retry from attempt zero. Preserve the continuity row's revive metadata alongside auto_revive.

When a managed agent has legitimately reached done but its pane remains open, a normal post-response prompt is parsed as idle; every subsequent listMerged call now resets the durable record from done to idle solely because the UUID still matches. This loses completion/harvest state and makes list_agents appear to resurrect finished work. Limit this recovery to records known to be stale (for example, surface-disappearance errors) rather than all terminal states.

With an auto-discovered live record carrying cli_session_id/lineage and an older canonical seat record still on disk, the new unconditional orphan repair evicts the auto record before validating the existing seat record. If that stale record has a different UUID, repair returns without restoring continuity and listMerged recreates a blank auto record; if it is reusable, its stale session metadata is retained instead. Thus merely calling list_agents can delete the only durable mapping to the live session. Merge the continuity record into the existing-seat path, or defer eviction until the replacement is successfully written.

Derive the durable state directory instead of hardcoding it.
readDurableState hardcodes ~/.local/state/cmux-agents. The server's state base directory is injectable, and the probe launches the server as a child process that inherits the current environment. If the state directory is overridden, this function reads a path that does not exist and the probe reports a false failure.
Read the override from the environment and fall back to the current default. This keeps the probe repeatable across state-directory configurations.

Use the current directory before the surface title.
Line 278 returns titleLauncher before Line 281 evaluates current_directory. A recognized stale title therefore overrides the pane working directory. Repair can select the wrong repository, seat, and managed agent_id.
Use current_directory first when discovered.cli is known. Use title inference only when the directory is unavailable or cannot produce a launcher. Add coverage where a recognized title conflicts with a worktree directory.

Fix the expected repaired agent id; CI fails on this assertion.
The test check fails here. The repaired record is brainlayerClaude, not brainClaude. The repo value brainlayer already matches, so only the id literal is wrong.
The repair path derives the canonical id as <repo><Cli>. The sibling expectations in this file use cmuxlayerCodex for repo cmuxlayer, which confirms that convention. For repo brainlayer and cli claude, the canonical id is brainlayerClaude.
Two downstream sites in this test carry the same wrong literal and will also fail once Line 6388 passes:
- Line 6402: the
send_torequest targetsbrainClaude. - Line 6413: the final
getAgentState("brainClaude")lookup returnsundefined.

Test a real Git-root result.
This test does not create /Users/example/Gits/cmuxlayer/.git. nearestGitRoot() therefore returns null, and the matching title fallback returns "cmuxlayer".
Create a temporary directory with a .git entry. Use a conflicting title. This verifies that trusted directory evidence takes precedence when a Git root exists.

.wt worktrees to their parent repository
When the terminal is in a standard worktree such as ~/Gits/cmuxlayer.wt/id-churn, nearestGitRoot() returns the branch directory and this early return derives id-churn; it never reaches worktreeRepoToken(), even though .wt/<name> is a supported worktree shape elsewhere in this file. For generic titles such as zsh, discovery consequently repairs the surface as id-churnClaude rather than the cmuxlayer seat, breaking stable-ID lookup and resume. Resolve the .wt owner from the Git root before applying repoIdentityToken().

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a recycled mutable surface ref leaves a stale auto-* row for the old UUID and a newer auto row for the currently discovered UUID, this unfiltered find() can choose the stale row based on registry insertion order. createRepairedRecord() then copies that row's session ID, path, and parent into the new canonical agent, while the matching auto row has already been evicted, so the live agent can inherit the wrong session or lose its resumable lineage. Restrict the continuity candidate to the same stable UUID and an allowed observed binding.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes core registry merge/repair and startup purge behavior; mis-binding could affect agent addressability or lifecycle, though tests and the live probe target issue #416 explicitly.
Overview
Managed agents stay on their canonical IDs when discovery churn would previously mint
auto-*replacements or drop lineage. Startup purge now retains records whose stable surface UUID still matches a live managed pane;listMergedcan reconcile lifecycle for terminal managed rows when the same UUID is observed alive (e.g. interactive overlay → idle).Discovery repair is broader and safer:
list_agentsalways runsrepairFromDiscoverywithorphansOnly, repo inference uses trusted pane cwd (including worktrees) viainferRepoFromDirectory, repaired records inherit session/parent/role/provenance from auto duplicates, and duplicate auto rows are evicted when a managed id owns the surface. Completed/killed/dead/stale managed records are not resurrected without UUID proof.Adds
bun run live:id-churn— a real-cmux probe for overlay, idle sweeps, restart, continuity, and dead-agent negative — and exposessurface_provenanceon observed agent listings.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 68060e4. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

Preserve managed agent IDs and lineage across discovery churn and process restart
surface_uuidmatches a live managed surface, preventing accidental removal during reconciliation.AgentRegistry.createRepairedRecordin agent-registry.ts inherits prior managed lineage (cli_session_id,parent_agent_id,role,created_at, etc.) when continuity can be established, avoiding lifecycle resets on restart.list_agentsin server.ts now always runs orphan repair (scoped to surfaces without a managed record), not only when pending IDs exist.current_directoryandworking_directory_source, and repo inference prefers trusted cwd evidence over title-only heuristics.Macroscope summarized 68060e4.
