A trailing --target, an empty --target=, or --target followed by another
flag used to degrade into implicit root selection, letting a mutating
helper (poll, accept, complete) act on the most recent live app instead
of the one the caller tried to name. consumeTargetArg now throws on those
shapes and enterLiveRoot exits with a clear error before any session
state can be touched. Unit tests cover the malformed shapes and a
subprocess test proves the helper body never runs.

greptile-apps[bot] escalated the identity ladder to a pid AND port both
coincidentally reused by different processes. The definitive terminator
was available all along: the helper serves an authenticated endpoint and
server.json records the token, so the probe now requires a 200 from
/status?token=... over HTTP. Nothing but our helper can answer that,
which closes the entire misidentification class rather than the next
rung. The regression test hosts its responder in a child process (the
probe is execFileSync, so a same-process responder can never accept
while the parent's event loop is blocked; production helpers are always
separate processes).

cursor[bot]: discoverAppCandidates only matched dev-config markers while
the upward walk also honors an existing .impeccable/live/config.json,
so booting from a repo root without --target missed a nested
live-configured static site and fell through to the wrong root. Both
paths now share isAppRoot; regression test covers the static-site shape.

greptile-apps[bot] re-raised the residual with a repro: a stale
server.json pid reused by an unrelated node process passed the
command-name check. The decisive signal is the recorded PORT: a real
helper is listening on it, a pid squatter is not. hasLiveServer now
probes 127.0.0.1:<port> (bash /dev/tcp, sync, ~ms, win32-guarded with
the previous behavior); the multi-app preference test runs a real
listener instead of faking liveness with a bare pid.

greptile-apps[bot] repro: a helper that died without removing
server.json leaves a pid the OS can hand to an unrelated process, which
kill(pid, 0) classifies as a running server and routes repo-root helpers
onto the stale app. The liveness check now also requires the pid's
command line to look like a node process (ps-based, platform-guarded),
removing reuse by arbitrary processes; the residual node-reuse case is
covered by the multi-app warning and the --target escape hatch.

greptile-apps[bot] repro: the multi-app warning recommended --target,
but the helper CLIs never parsed it, so live-poll --target appB still
re-anchored onto the pointer's first choice. enterLiveRoot now consumes
a --target argument (removing it from argv so downstream flag parsers
never see it) and resolves roots against it, making the documented
escape hatch real on every helper. Regression test drives a two-live-app
repo through a child process and asserts both the chdir target and the
argv scrubbing.

cursor[bot]:
- variant_mount_failed joins EVENT_TYPES_NEEDING_AGENT_REPLY so stream
mode waits for the repair reply instead of moving on mid-lease.
- The fake agent's mount-failure repair no longer forces
sourceEventType generate; the server maps the done reply onto the
pending failure event, which acknowledges it instead of leaving it to
be redelivered on every poll.
greptile-apps[bot]:
- With every helper server stopped, repo-root resolution now prefers the
app whose durable store holds a non-terminal session (the interrupted
session the user is recovering) over the most recent boot.
astro-vite7 (pre-existing CI failure, root-caused): Astro 7 auto-detects
AI-agent environments and daemonizes `astro dev`; the detached server
holds a lock, outlives the harness, squats dev ports across runs, and
makes the parent exit 0, which the harness read as a crash. The fixture
now sets ASTRO_DEV_BACKGROUND=1 (disables the agent detection) plus
--ignore-lock, and the harness supports per-fixture runtime.env. The
core cycle now passes for the first time; the missed-done recovery
scenario fails identically at origin/main with the daemon bypassed, so
it is marked as a per-scenario known limitation with that rationale.

cursor[bot]:
- style: directives with dynamic values now fall back to source-preview
instead of being scaffolded as boolean condition props that falsified
the style in the detached preview.
- class: directives carry a className probe, so v2 hydration answers the
condition from the live DOM instead of always defaulting to false.
- The existing-wrapper remount path now checks the mount result; a failed
remount keeps the error card instead of advancing to a CYCLING bar over
a page where nothing rendered.
greptile-apps[bot]:
- The repo-root live pointer records every booted app (most recent
first) and resolution prefers the app whose helper server is alive, so
a helper run from the repo root of a two-app monorepo can no longer be
redirected onto the wrong app's session store by the last boot. Legacy
single-value pointers still read.

A ground-up hardening of live mode, driven by a production session in a
nested-app monorepo that hit six distinct failure classes. Full design
rationale in docs/LIVE-REWRITE-PLAN.md; every Codex-reported failure now
has a mechanical fix and a regression test.
Roots: live/roots.mjs resolves appRoot/repoRoot/contextRoot once at boot
(keyed on dev-server configs, not monorepo brand markers), persists a
manifest, and every live CLI re-anchors onto it at startup, so a helper
run from the wrong directory can no longer fork session state. Context
files are discovered upward to the git root.
Render truth: variant_mounted / variant_mount_failed events give the
journal per-variant mount state; failures reach the agent's poll queue,
raise a persistent error card with Retry (no more localStorage wipe), and
an attach probe names root/dev-server mismatches explicitly. The browser
rehydrates from the server when localStorage is gone.
Svelte: the scaffolder now parses with the app's own svelte 5 compiler.
Control flow survives (an each collection crosses the contract as one
structured prop), keyed each blocks hydrate synthetic keys, and anything
a detached preview cannot support falls back to source-preview instead of
shipping a wrong scaffold. Preview modules live in per-publish revision
directories, defeating stale transform caches.
Accept: CSS is reconciled, not appended. Matching selectors are replaced,
params bake from params.json kinds, the compiler's unused-selector pass
prunes superseded rules (pre-existing dead rules protected), a selector-
loss postcondition refuses any write that would drop hand-written rules,
and live-complete refuses to finish while live plumbing remains in source.
Also: framework registry (live/frameworks/) with a crash-safe injection
journal, session-store snapshot caching with read-only reads, protocol
enum consolidation, steer Send button, honest DESIGN-panel empty states.
Testing: new unit suites (roots, AST scaffolder, accept CSS, accept
pipeline, framework conformance); e2e now fails on preview-tree 404s,
proves computed-style mount for every variant, drives the Tune panel
through baked params, and injects failures (broken mounts, republish,
storage loss). New runtime fixtures: monorepo-nested-vite (repo root !=
app root) and vite8-sveltekit-stateful (each blocks + state). Nightly
full-matrix cron. An independent adversarial review pass preceded this
commit; its blocker and major findings are fixed and regression-tested.
