Found by reading the arming path back after the G5 checkpoint, not by a
failing row. `arm_accepted_gesture` overwrote an already-armed latch, so
a dropped `Up` --- one lost to an outbox that closed under a stall ---
was followed by the next press silently discarding the first gesture's
record, without counting it as a cancellation.
Inert on this base, where records are only counted. Once
`panel-pointer-replay` attaches a child release to each record, the
discarded one leaves a button held down with nothing left to release
it, and the arming code that decides this is this slice's.
Mutation: restore the plain overwrite -> the new row alone.
Also records three CI-red observations from the slice-completion gate,
which is the first entry on this lane with a MEASURED confound instead
of the standing uncontrolled one. Three wall-clock-deadline rows red in
one run --- criterion_1 by 0.12%, a PTY lifecycle race, and a 5s child
-exit deadline --- all green in isolation, the last in 0.15s against
its 5s deadline. `uptime` during the run went 14.02 -> 28.35, from an
unrelated turso test suite on the same machine with one binary at 693%
CPU. Not a controlled experiment, but the same evidence U9's synthetic
-load control was meant to produce, and it points at load.
Two process traps are recorded with them, because both were made here.
The Bash tool caps a command at ten minutes and SIGTERMs it, which the
gate reports as `FAILED (exit 143)` on whatever stage was running and
which reads exactly like a real failure. And `pkill -f <pattern>` kills
the invoking shell when the pattern appears in its own command line, so
the intended target survives while the operator believes it died --- and
here `pkill -f "cargo test"` would have destroyed an unrelated
project's build. Identify by PID.
Verified: `cargo fmt --check`; `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-- -D warnings`; the four §5b G5 rows. The full protocol gate follows on
a quieter machine; the run described above is not evidence for this tree
and is recorded as an observation only.
