Separate verified process cleanup from output closure. Bound additional retention from owned stop entry through cleanup retry, drain before detaching capture, and mark unreadable or abandoned output incomplete. Release owned event-loop references on drain timeout without changing the proven cleanup disposition; preserve borrowed handle reference state.
Cover held and failed cleanup, late tail, bounded drain, stream errors, borrowed authority, and a real POSIX inherited-stderr release barrier. The real pipe control drops its final ten bytes on the baseline and retains them with this change. Focused consumer checks passed, including simulated Windows ownership; native Windows and real provider failure scope remain unverified.
Android still constructs its startup error snapshot before retirement; that consumer correction remains separate work.
Fixes#4840
Carry asynchronous readiness through provider selection, session status, CLI and MCP. Join observations during cancellation and shutdown, keep status readable during finalization, and retain mixed provider errors and exact cleanup dependencies through the shared inspection failure owner.
Validation: 255 focused tests across 18 files; 21 registry tests rerun with primary restoration assertion; check:fast; docs:check and 5 README conformance tests. Registered MCP and SDK schema checks use controlled providers; no real Ghidra/JVM verification.
This is a prerequisite for #4561. The synchronous Ghidra Java producer and its doctor/client ownership migration remain unfinished.
BREAKING CHANGE: binary_session candidate availability can be unknown during owner finalization. Consumers must handle this state; the internal session status API is now asynchronous.
Refs: #4561
Preserve the owner-observed opaque caller reason through preparation, collection and cleanup failure wrapping without assigning cleanup authority or serializing the raw reason.
Validation: 68 focused process/deadline tests; check:fast; docs:check (5 conformance tests). Controlled local process fixtures only; no native provider verification.
Refs: #4638
Join pending profile producers on cancellation and shutdown. Preserve failed results before later signals, retain every automatic-selection cleanup owner, and move profile file ownership into the registry.

Give concurrent Ghidra and Hopper callers independent waits over one owned startup. Join final-caller cleanup, preserve failed cleanup owners, and derive readiness from the current startup result and live transport. Distinguish provider closure from caller cancellation and clean up interrupted final lineage observation.
Reuse the Ghidra socket fixture, replace stale cancellation health assertions with cold and warm reuse controls, and cover public MCP peer cancellation. Validation: 315 affected tests, build, typecheck, lint, docs, and 25 relocated startup controls passed. Controlled child bridges only; real Ghidra JVM and Hopper GUI verification remains unperformed.

Separate observed relationship coverage from general provider caveats. Authenticate and replay coverage without changing legacy Evidence IDs; expose unknown and capped relationship sets through CLI/MCP graphs and traces.
Validated focused domain, snapshot, IDA/Ghidra boundary, MCP, schema, package and static checks. Provider fixtures establish contract behavior; licensed engine behavior was not reverified.
* fix(hopper): report unavailable procedure body coverage
* refactor!: simplify runtime tools and remove replay engines
Keep direct inspection, capture, and comparison tools. Bind handlers to named contracts and let agents compose experiments with commands and local fixture servers.
BREAKING CHANGE: Remove controlled replay, Node characterization, finite replay-machine, managed runtime planning, and redundant string-tracing tools. Retire process replay, shims, reactive scenarios, custom checkpoints, and active browser replay and origin-scope inputs.
