ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces an always-on SQLite ownership lock and changes server, CLI, desktop, WSL, and service-supervisor lifecycle behavior, making it substantially broader than an isolated fix. It also adds static-analysis suppression directives and has an unresolved high-severity shutdown race in the service launcher. Not approved because:

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winKeep an ownership-refused WSL instance stopped during reconciliation.
If a secondary WSL backend exits with code 78, the manager clears
desiredRunningand the new callback records the refusal. A laterreconcilewith unchanged settings treats that instance as idle, clears the recorded message, and callsstartagain. Preserve the refusal state until the user explicitly retries or changes the target. This prevents routine reconciliation from repeating a refused launch and hiding its explanation.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

481-506: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winThe
"released"case does not test lock contention. It passes for an unrelated reason.
mockImplementationOncewraps the first call toacquireServerOwnershipLockafter the spy is installed.Launcher.run()first acquires the launcher lock:acquireServerOwnershipLock(<root>/userdata, { launcher: true }).- The launcher lock uses
server-launcher.sqlite.foreignOwnerholdsserver-owner.sqlite, so the two calls do not contend.- That first call succeeds, and the
finallyblock then releasesforeignOwner. No contention happens at any point.hasBackupistruefor"released".#recovertherefore throws "Manual recovery is required" at the existing-backup check, before any owner-lock acquisition.- The case behaves the same as a plain pre-existing backup. The comment "Real contention occurs, then ownership ends" is false.
If a later change regresses the case "refusal is preserved after the foreign owner stops", this test still passes. The only check on that behavior is in
#startTrial:if (isOwnershipConflict(cause)) throw cause;.Two ways to fix this:
- Make the case reach
#startTrialwith no backup present.- Wrap only the call for the owner lock. Match on the absence of
cli/launcheroptions instead of usingmockImplementationOnce.♻️ Sketch: target the owner-lock acquisition
- .mockImplementationOnce(async (...args) => { + .mockImplementation(async (...args) => { + const [, options] = args; + if (options?.cli || options?.launcher || released) return acquire(...args); try { return await acquire(...args); } finally {Then set
hasBackuptofalsefor"released". With no backup, recovery reachesbackupDatabaseOnce, contends withforeignOwner, and must still end with statusfailedand reasonstate-dir-owned.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Note Written by fixed the wsl reconciliation finding in 8c3e061. an ownership-refused target remains stopped with its message intact; changing distro or toggling the backend off and on retries. the existing tests cover those transitions and ordinary preflight retry. also corrected the released-owner launcher test: it now reaches the actual owner-lock contention without an existing backup, then verifies that releasing the foreign owner does not erase the refusal. this is maintainer work requested by maria for #6097, replacing #14694 and #10360. |

Note Written by @arun279 the gap is real: a pre-lock server whose record was rewritten and then removed by a second pre-lock server is invisible to this check. I cut this PR down to the lock itself (0f72e69), so it no longer carries the launcher/preflight ownership protocol your follow-up builds on, and maria-rcks#15 won't apply as is. The older-service check fits better as its own PR on top once this lands; the lock and exit-78 handling here don't change for it. |

🟠 High src/serviceLauncher.ts:632
If SIGTERM or SIGINT arrives while #idleWhileStateDirOwned() is awaiting state or backup I/O, stop() clears the existing timer, but this method later installs a referenced interval. The queued stop then resolves run() without clearing it, so the launcher process stays alive; check #stopRequested before creating the interval.

Two servers could open the same T3 home (for example the desktop app next to the background service), fight over one SQLite database, duplicate provider sessions, and steal each other's T3 Connect tunnel.
A server now takes an exclusive lock on its state directory before opening the database: an exclusive transaction on
userdata/server-owner.sqlite, which the OS releases when the process exits, even on SIGKILL. A second server exits with code 78 and a message instead of starting. Servers from before the lock are recognized through a liveserver-runtime.jsonrecord (process start time rules out PID reuse). Supervisors stop retrying on 78: the desktop shows a dialog and quits, the WSL backend records the refusal until its settings change, and the service launcher stays idle instead of exiting into a systemd/launchd restart loop (a pending update is marked failed without restoring its backup). Offlinet3 projectcommands take the same lock, so a failed live probe no longer deletes a running server's record and writes behind it.Fixes #6097. Fixes #7504. Supersedes #14694.
This version drops the update-rollback ownership guards, CLI auth locks, and launcher protocol changes from the earlier revision to keep the change to the ownership boundary itself. Detecting an older background service whose record another older server already removed (see the review comment below) stays a follow-up.
Verification (Blacksmith): ownership, service launcher, project CLI, desktop backend manager/pool, and WSL backend tests passed (68). Server, desktop, and contracts typechecks, scoped lint, and formatting passed. The captures below are from the earlier revision and show the same refusal path; packaged desktop dialogs and native Windows/macOS service behavior are unverified for this version.
