FRICTION:
model | An initially advertised gpt-5.4-mini provider route failed with unknown-provider; pilot excluded and both accepted sides use working OpenCode/Haiku | Validate provider routing before seeding.
tool | Long full event IDs exceeded trace attribute limits and obscured correlation in an after pilot | Use bounded event-ID suffix labels; clean after retake and exact observer versions are supplied.
runbook | Recovery-complete log can precede server-runtime.json publication | Await both milestones before authenticating the driver.
runbook | Terminating only the initial vp runner left its Node watcher/listener alive | Capture a new process group at launch and stop the entire captured group; all accepted launches do this.
