The harness-neutral drain-and-acknowledge step was copy-pasted into every per-harness supervision snippet and had drifted: cursor.md dropped the "and unread status lines" clause and the UNREAD STATUS drain entry, so a Cursor primary was told a weaker contract than every other harness. Print the strongest wording once in the renderer preamble, immediately before the ordinary-wake line, and delete the step from the six named snippets and unknown.md's paraphrase, renumbering the remaining steps. Restore the UNREAD STATUS mention in cursor.md's surviving wake-record sentence. Assert the rendered block contains WAKE_ACK_REQUIRED exactly once for every harness including unknown.
Confidence Score: 4/5The unconditional drain/ack stanza should be brought back under the supervision-ownership and away-mode condition before merging. The consolidated text is emitted for read-only and away-mode sessions even though draining and acknowledging durable wakes is ownership-gated, so the rendered instructions can direct a non-owner to consume another supervisor’s work.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When the block is rendered for a read-only session or while away mode owns supervision, the unconditional drain_ack_stanza instructs that session to drain and acknowledge durable wakes, causing work to be consumed or acknowledged before the active supervisor handles it. Keep this instruction under the same ownership and away-mode condition that previously scoped it in each harness snippet.
Summary
Fixes accepted simplification-audit finding F-S16-2 (P0): the harness-neutral drain-and-acknowledge step was copy-pasted into every per-harness supervision-protocol snippet under

bin/fm-supervision-instructions.sh: print the drain/ack contract exactly once as a neutral stanza (drain_ack_stanza) in the renderer preamble, immediately before the ordinary-wake line, using the strongest wording fromclaude.mdverbatim (including "and unread status lines" and the exactWAKE_ACK_REQUIRED--ack-throughinstruction).claude,codex,grok,opencode,pi,cursor) andunknown.md's paraphrase, renumbering the remaining steps.UNREAD STATUSmention thatcursor.mdwas missing in its surviving wake-record sentence (the actual drift).WAKE_ACK_REQUIREDexactly once for every harness, including the unknown fallback.docs/turnend-guard.md's regression-coverage line for the renderer test.Out of scope (deliberate)
clauderepair sentence pinned byte-for-byte bytests/fm-turnend-guard.test.shis unchanged.SC2016shellcheck-disable on the twoprintflines is intentional and matches existing repo convention (bin/fm-startup-network.sh,fm-operational-input.sh): the backticks are literal instruction text, not command substitution.Validation
Validated through the no-mistakes pipeline: intent, rebase, review (approved), test, document, and lint all completed. The review flagged that the neutral stanza renders unconditionally; this is behavior-preserving (the renderer already emits the ordinary-wake line and full snippet unconditionally) and matches the audit's explicit placement directive, so it was approved as-is. The lint step's exit-1 was solely the pipeline environment lacking ShellCheck on PATH; the branch is verified clean against the pinned ShellCheck 0.11.0 and actionlint 1.7.12 (
bin/fm-lint.shexits 0). The upstream push returned 403 (read-only account), so this PR is delivered from a fork; every step before push ran exactly as the pipeline produced it, and no out-of-scope commit was auto-injected.
