 Local worker pools that hold up under faults and load, a lighter terminal under heavy workflow load, and workflows that can work in any repository's worktree.
 
-- **One failing child no longer takes down a pool:** a child that fails to dispatch fails alone, a worker or tool process group that survives SIGKILL is a warning rather than a failure, and pool faults replay the child within its three attempts, and a replay blocked by those groups' quarantined permits fails after a bounded wait instead of waiting forever ([#4159](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4159), [#4170](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4170))

 - **Local worker pools keep their leases:** a slow journal or root no longer gets every healthy worker killed at once, and a race in lease recovery no longer fails every child of a pool with `stale_work_lease` ([#4165](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4165))
 - **A lighter terminal under heavy load:** a workflow run no longer keeps every completed stage's session in memory until it ends, which cut peak heap from 2.8 GB to 0.87 GB in a 600-stage test and shortened GC pauses. Rebuilding the chat no longer flashes "Loading isolated renderer…", and rows keep the state you left them in ([#4166](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4166), [#4167](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4167), [#4169](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4169))
 - **Broadcasts reach pooled stages at once:** stages on local workers get queued and sticky Intercom messages before their first turn, without a 60 s stall or a warning per stage ([#4164](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4164))

 - In the interactive TUI, rows that the engine renders, such as tool results and extension messages, keep their last frame when the chat is rebuilt (after compaction, `/reload` or switching sessions), instead of showing `Loading isolated renderer…` until a busy engine renders each one again. A rebuilt chat also no longer leaves the renderers of the rows it replaced running in the engine for the rest of the session, and engine messages reach chat rows through one subscription instead of one per row. ([#4167](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4167))
 - A rebuilt chat in the interactive TUI no longer briefly shows a collapsed tool row with its expanded output when the row was collapsed while its expanded frame was still on its way from the engine. Rows the chat drops while the engine connection is backed up also stay released, instead of being rendered again in the engine by a render request that arrived after their disposal. ([#4169](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4169))
 - A child on a local worker pool (`workflows.localWorkers`) whose replay needs a tool process permit no longer waits forever when the only capacity left under `admission.limits.process` (or `admission.userLimits.process`) is held by quarantined permits of process groups that survived SIGKILL. Those permits stay quarantined, and capacity held by running work is still waited for as before. A process admission that only quarantined permits block now waits at most 15 seconds for those groups to exit, then fails with the retryable `worker_cleanup_unconfirmed`, naming the groups and the limit. That ends the child's attempt, so it replays within its three attempts and then fails with `worker_retry_limit`, letting the root finish. If the groups exit in time, the replay goes on normally. ([#4170](https://github.com/bastani-inc/atomic/pull/4170))
+- A child on a local worker pool (`workflows.localWorkers`) whose attempt ends on a fault of the pool now gives back the session permits of that attempt's stages when the attempt ends. Before, the attempt's stage sessions stayed open on the worker, and their permits stayed granted until the worker exited or the pool closed. When the child replayed on the same worker under a tight `admission.limits.session` (or `admission.userLimits.session`), the replay could wait for those permits indefinitely, since the worker kept its lease alive. The worker keeps its lease while those sessions close, so a session that takes longer than `leaseMs` to shut down does not get a live worker killed. Permits of tool process groups that survived SIGKILL stay quarantined as before, and an attempt that ended this way still cannot record a result.

+- **Fenced attempts release their sessions:** when a local worker ends an attempt as a pool fault, it now closes that attempt's stage sessions first, so their session permits return.
