+/**
+ * G-contact (#129) — the real overlay durable app, the real compiled bridge, one host.
+ * CHECKOUT-ONLY dev gate: an installed package refuses it in `run_ts` before it reads an input.
+ *
+ * LABEL: adapter-direct, harness-bypassed. The durable app is opened through the production
+ * bootstrap composition from THIS checkout's carrier (pi/pi-durable/carrier/, under its resolver,
+ * against the checkout's pinned pi SDK set — verified first), the contact is born, and its
+ * registered tools are executed DIRECTLY in the host (scripts/pi-durable-contact-host.mjs). No
+ * model turn, no ToolTask: this gate does NOT prove that the harness selects, validates or
+ * replays these tools, that a model accepts their schema, or anything about send / delivery /
+ * fresh / resume / visible identity. Of receive it observes only the ARM — the raw receiver marker,
+ * the contact's own `receiver()` state and the bridge's replyability verdict — never a doorbell, an
+ * admission or a drain; those are check-pi-durable-receive's.
+ *
+ * Input, required, not provisioned here (missing → SKIP, never a pass). The durable app itself is
+ * no longer an input: it is this checkout's carrier, refused by name before anything spawns when it
+ * or the SDK set it resolves is not the pin (#130).
+ *   ENTWURF_PI_DURABLE_BRIDGE_ENTRY  <bundle>/mcp/entwurf-bridge/src/index.js emitted from THIS
+ *                                    checkout into a private bundle (a shared/installed bridge
+ *                                    carries the old backend list and is refused as stale) — the
+ *                                    bundle must carry the `pi-durable-host` owner join
+ *
+ * Matrix: garden roots {default (PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR), explicit (contact options, distinct from
+ * the default)} × open {fresh, --continue}. The explicit cells are the root-coupling proof: the
+ * child inherits an environment that points at the DEFAULT roots, so it can only find the birth
+ * if the contact bound it to the roots it wrote.
+ *
+ * Oracles are independent of the subject and of the bridge's sender resolver: records and
+ * markers are read as raw JSON from roots this gate built, the durable session directory is
+ * located by hashing the project path here, the bridge child is found by scanning /proc for a
+ * process whose PPID is the host pid this gate spawned, and peers is asked through a SECOND bridge
+ * whose parent is this gate — also the negative control that the host's identity does not leak
+ * to a process it did not spawn. The host runs with poisoned identity carriers; the cell is green
+ * only if the contact keeps them from its bridge child. That is proven at the SDK CONNECTOR BOUNDARY
+ * — the spawn spec the adapter hands the production stdio connector, recorded by the host driver
+ * (identity carrier names and the four root values only) — plus the bridge's own behaviour
+ * (entwurf_self, the raw records/markers, peers). It is NOT a kernel child-environ observation:
+ * this gate reads no /proc/<pid>/environ.
+ *
+ * After a host is spawned, every failure is THROWN, and the gate reaps only the processes it
+ * owns — the host it spawned and the bridges observed as that host's children (pid + start key) —
+ * before reporting the cause and any cleanup failure. `ENTWURF_PI_DURABLE_CONTACT_FAULT` is the
+ * gate's own control for that path: `after-birth` throws right after the first birth;
+ * `malformed-report` makes the gate's host driver send a non-JSON report line, which arrives while
+ * the gate is already waiting for it (the pending-line path of `Host.next`).
