Full-template residue histogram on the CI host surfaced four more normal-exit
leaks below the earlier cutoff: tool-bash/tool-pwsh tools.spec (module spill
dir / per-test homes), bash-sandbox sandbox.spec (module spill dir and the
read-only denial root), and fs-sandbox fs-sandbox.spec (inline tmp dir). All
four now remove what they create at the same teardown points as their
neighbors.
Spec files that create /tmp/dsh-* directories via mkdtemp now track and
delete them in afterEach/afterAll; module-scope fixture dirs (executor
spill dirs) are removed in afterAll. The file list came from the
observed-residue inventory on the self-hosted CI host: only specs whose
dirs actually accumulated were leak sources (issue #3134), superseding
the kept-but-unmerged CI sweep branch per the #3233 review decision.
Product per-process spill roots (dsh-subprocess-local spawn,
dsh-spill-local store) register a process-exit handler that removes the
memoized dir, so processes that used the spawn/spill path clean up on
normal exit. A SIGKILLed process cannot run in-process teardown; the
machine-side timer remains the backstop for that path.

The persistence seam is now create/open/stat/list returning per-session
SessionHandles (read/append/flush/close); every log read and write flows
through the owning handle. The seam package exports only the service and
handle contracts, consumer-visible errors, and pure durable-data
validation helpers; each backend owns its complete storage runtime, and
the shared contract suites pin equivalent observable behavior. The
backend routes published sessions' live events by id into the active
write handle; agent-loop only acquires, seeds, and closes the handle.
Resume appends interruptedTurnClosers through its write handle;
session-query owns the revision-keyed cold cache. Legacy-only surfaces
are removed in the same swap: locate/readRaw/supportsRawArtifacts, the
legacy event-shape read migration, zstd torn-frame salvage,
DSH_SESSION_JSONL, and hook transcript_path population; a torn final
zstd frame is discarded whole; the session-list cold blank probe returns
on stat metadata (eventCount derived from the last physical row,
sizeBytes). The WebUI ZIP export serializes the logical log from a read
handle, so both backends export identically.

The self-hosted Windows coverage pool (16 shards x 12 workers on 192
threads) pushes real subprocess boots past their vitest deadlines: the
tool-pwsh Loader smoke reaches ~40s against a 30s process cap, and the
tool-ralph worker-thread cases exceed the 5s default. Give the pwsh
smoke a 90s process deadline (the subprocess keeps the assembled boot,
the vitest deadline stays at 120s), and give the two un-budgeted ralph
cases 30s each, matching the existing 20s quiescence case.
On Linux, pwsh may trap SIGTERM and exit cleanly when the subprocess service
is disposed, so the handle status is 'completed' rather than 'killed'. The
test already proved the process tree is gone via kill(pid,0); both statuses
satisfy the contract.
Unix PowerShell emits cursor-position requests while PSReadLine starts and
redraws prompts. The subprocess PTY is only a transport, so those requests
went unanswered. Startup could then accept the dsh> literal echoed from its
setup source as a rendered prompt, and later sends were lost or clipped.
Feed raw PTY output into a zero-scrollback @xterm/headless state machine and
write generated replies through the provider-owned terminal handle. Drain
replies before caller input, repeat foreground inspection when terminal
activity races the sample, and retain send ownership until parser and reply
work quiesce. Coalesce raw chunks behind one active parser write so large
Windows output cannot create thousands of queued parse callbacks.
Publish pwsh only from backend stdin_read evidence and start one timeoutMs
deadline before the complete startup retry loop, so inferred-idle follow-ups
cannot reset the bound. Dispose the emulator when the
terminal or cleanup fails. Document the fail-loud ConstrainedLanguage path
and add focused coverage for split queries, reply ordering, foreground
resampling, failure containment, batching, timeout, and disposal.
