Classify producer-recorded timeout and capture overflow before configuration fallback, and pass typed failures through provider admission. Preserve exact version-probe cancellation reasons and parsed output facts. Clarify command lifecycle diagnostics.
Related: #3886, #4594. Controlled Node subprocess, provider/application and actual CLI regressions cover late abort ordering, active and preadmission cancellation, validated partial Evidence, physical failures, capture overflow and the unchanged ten-second deadline. The affected suite passed 218 tests across 14 files; static/docs/format/discovery checks passed. Native adb/device and Windows execution remain unverified.
Remaining related work: shared file-close cancellation provenance for digest consumers requires a separate producer and consumer migration.
