 For "what's stuck on <name>", read `GET /api/bongos/government/blockers/people` and take that person's group. Never frame every blocker as the owner's: one routed to a Lead is the Lead's.
 
+**Step 1b — Re-check each blocker before you ask (task 1005120).**
+
+A blocker is a claim about the world, made on a date, by a session that has long since ended. One project's blocker asked its owner to "apply to Plaid for OAuth" for days after the project's own shipped work had found there was nothing to apply for, because nothing ever re-read it. So before a blocker is put to the person again, test it:
+
+1. Read its body, including the **Checked before filing:** line an agent's filing carries — that is what the claim rested on.
+2. Look at what has shipped since it was filed: `node scripts/bongos/blocker-recheck.js <id>` lists the shipped tasks since its `created_at` that share its subject, with the words they share; `/recall <the blocker's subject>` finds docs written since. Read any that touch its subject — a shared word is a reason to read, not proof.
+3. If the check it names can be re-run from here (a page, a status read, a command), re-run it.
+
+If what shipped, or the re-run check, shows the blocker is **no longer true**, do not ask its question again. Tell the person in one line what changed and the evidence, and offer to close it ("Resolved — it was answered by task N - <name>: <evidence>"). If it still holds, say what you re-checked, then ask. If nothing could be re-checked, say so plainly — that is the person's cue to decide whether it still holds.
+
 **Step 2 — walk the list, blocker by blocker.**

+**Any device, not one always-on PC** (task 1005095, goal 1000139; owner direction
+2026-11-09). The host above was written for a single Windows box: a scheduled task
+registered from an Administrator shell, started at boot. The owner's rule is now
+that the runner runs on any device, Windows or Mac, always-on or a laptop, from one
+button. Four decisions carry that, in `scripts/bongos/autobongos-host.js`:
+
+- **It starts at sign-in, as the person, with no administrator.** A per-user Run
+  entry on Windows and a per-user launchd agent on a Mac. Boot-time start needs an
+  elevated registration on Windows and cannot reach the login keychain on a Mac,
+  where the Claude sign-in lives; sign-in start needs neither. A laptop that
+  sleeps stops checking in and resumes when it wakes, and the hall already reads
+  silence as silence. The boot-time task stays as the opt-in for an always-on PC.
+- **One Node program replaces the `.cmd` wrapper on this path**, so Windows and
+  Mac cannot drift: refresh the runner's copy, launch the supervisor, relaunch on
+  its upgrade exit, restart after a crash with a growing wait. Stop and uninstall
+  watch the processes exit before saying so.
+- **The runner keeps its own files** (`BONGOS_CONFIG_ROOT`, passed on to every
+  worker). A runner's own login in the builder's one session slot would sign the
+  builder's own tools out; a root of its own also means the runner can never fall
+  back to the builder's session.
+- **A device with no gauge at all works until the usage limit** (`absentMeansGo`,
+  passed only by the supervisor). §2's writer is a terminal statusLine, so a
+  device whose owner uses the desktop app never has a reading, and "unknown, so
+  hold" left it armed and idle forever. This is the 2026-09-30 ruling — hit the
+  limit, wait for its reset, resume — with nothing to read first. A reading that
+  exists and cannot be vouched for still holds.
+
+The program hard-resets its checkout on every start, so it refuses to run anywhere
+but a copy the setup marked as the runner's own.
