+// unified-window — the eve-FREE tested core of the SINGLE-CONTEXT cross-surface window. eve namespaces every continuation token by channel at deliver time, so per-surface wakes land in SIBLING sessions; routing them all through the synthetic `unified` channel makes the effective tokens byte-identical, which collapses them into one durable hook, one workflow run, and ONE literal model context window across providers. PURE and store-agnostic: the store dep is a narrow injected slice, so the whole map is deterministic-testable without a DB or an eve runtime, and this module must never import a surface file or an eve type.
+// 🔴 THE ONE REAL SUBTLETY, and this module's reason to exist: a turn that MERGED queued deliveries carries a SINGLE auth snapshot, so cross-platform the per-turn auth addresses only ONE of the merged wakes and is UNRELIABLE for reply targeting. The fix is HOST-SIDE and structural. Every single-window wake gets a host-minted WAKE ID stamped into its envelope, so the model can NAME the wake it answers. The wake's ORIGIN is written to a DURABLE map, because dispatch and reply run in different processes and an in-memory map would silently lose the mapping. The reply path resolves the target ONLY from that map, so the model SELECTS from an allowlist of real wakes and never authors an address, and an unknown or expired id FAILS CLOSED, posting nothing.
+// 🔴 THE AUTH-CARRYING MERGE IS UNREACHABLE ON eve 0.54.3, AND THIS MODULE STAYS ANYWAY (OPE-2042). eve 0.52.5 narrowed its adjacent-queued batching rule to "Only batch adjacent queued deliveries when their full auth contexts match", enforced by `jsonValuesEqual(c.auth, t.auth)` in `takeBufferedTurnDelivery`. OE stamps `oe_wake_id` and a fresh per-delivery `oe_delivery_id` into `auth.attributes` (below), so two auth-carrying deliveries on one unified window never compare equal. eve's OTHER merge arm — a task COMPLETION COHORT of caller-less deliveries — still fires, and it carries no `auth` at all, so no wake's auth can displace another's. So the MULTI-WAKE case this map was designed against cannot arise from a merge today. 🔴 THE MAP ITSELF IS NOT DEFENSIVE: every reply resolves its target here, single-wake turns included — arm 2 of {@link resolveAnswerableReplyTarget} reads the same rows — and the fence's same-conversation and pending arms still put two conversations in one turn with no merge at all. `scripts/coalesced-delivery-merge-assumption-test.ts` pins the MERGE road's impossibility offline and reds the day it stops holding.

A diverted fire is given a TRUSTED block naming its own wake-id, because a model with no id invents one, is refused, and gives up, which was a total outage of the triggered plane. That disclosure made the wake-id a string with a KNOWN NAME, a KNOWN FORMAT and a KNOWN CONSEQUENCE for getting it wrong — exactly what a decoy needs, since untrusted payload content can carry reminder-shaped markup naming some OTHER id, and the untrusted wrapper defangs its own delimiters but does not, and should not, rewrite arbitrary markup inside the payload. The blast radius of believing a decoy is therefore AVAILABILITY, never authority: the id names no wake this session holds, so the fence refuses it exactly as it refuses a hallucinated one, and the worst case is a fire that goes quiet. That bound is real, and it is the outage shape itself, which is why "bounded" was never the same as "harmless". So on `mismatch` the copy RE-DISCLOSES the id THIS turn was actually delivered under, costing a decoyed or hallucinated attempt a retry instead of the turn — which discloses NOTHING NEW, because that is the host-set stamp for this very delivery, already accepted unconditionally by the fast-path arm and already named by the envelope. It is deliberately NOT a list of every answerable wake: the pending arm would admit those, but the model was never SHOWN them, and handing it addresses it never saw would widen reach, not legibility. It also names the decoy vector explicitly, because the one thing that reliably distinguishes the trusted id from a decoy is POSITION — inside the untrusted fence or outside it.
+ * 🔴 `silent` IS THE CARVE-OUT, AND IT IS LOAD-BEARING. A silent routine's fire is delivered WITHOUT the mandate precisely so the disclosure cannot become the way a silent routine starts talking — but the wake row is still registered and the stamp is still set, so re-disclosing it here would hand a silent fire the one thing that carve-out withholds, through the back door of an error message. The caller passes the same per-turn signal, off the same host-set unforgeable stamp, that drops the terminal prose, so silence has ONE reader. It fail-softs to false, which is not a weakening: a turn where that signal is unavailable is a turn where the terminal-prose drop is unavailable too, so silence is already off either way.

Its refusals are all fail-closed: no window token at all, where the arm is silently unavailable and the fence degrades to the older one; no row; a malformed stored origin; a legacy row with no window token to prove which session it belongs to; a row naming a DIFFERENT window, the cross-domain fence; a past-TTL row; or one already answered by a DIFFERENT turn, where an undefined turn id compares unequal. THE MODEL STILL NEVER AUTHORS AN ADDRESS: a wake id is a host-minted UUID that appears only inside this session's own envelopes and audit rows, and arm 4 additionally requires the row to name this session's own host-stamped WINDOW TOKEN. The EDIT path uses {@link resolveEditableWakeTarget} instead, which shares every arm here except the `answered` refusal.
+ * ⚠️ THE READ-TIME TTL IS LOAD-BEARING, NOT BELT-AND-BRACES. Neither store read applies a TTL: rows die on disk only through the OPPORTUNISTIC prune on a later write in the same org, so on a quiet org an expired row stays readable for days. The old fence made that harmless, because you could only answer this turn's wake anyway; arm 4 widens authority and must not inherit it. `nowMs` is injectable purely so the bound is deterministically testable. KNOWN, ACCEPTED WIDENING: content in channel A that says "reply to wake-id U", where U is a pending wake from channel B in the same window, now succeeds where it used to be refused. The boundary is that every surface in a shared window passed the operator-VOUCH floor — admission to the window IS the operator's "these are one internal room" assertion — that a reply is non-consequential tier, and that the choke point audits every post with its wake and session ids. The narrower alternative, scoping arm 4 to the same platform or channel key, re-breaks the exact multi-conversation requirement this exists for.

The model fell back to posting a corrected copy, and the room kept BOTH lines forever. WHAT STILL GUARDS AN EDIT: the own-post ledger, so the message must be ours, at this locus, inside the edit window; the host-resolved locus, so the model never names a conversation; the pending-work INSTRUCTION the edit tool appends while a worker this turn dispatched still owes the answer (OPE-1544 — there is no frame to re-apply, OPE-1516 deleted it); and both audit rows.

+// §AUTH-ATTRIBUTE PROVENANCE — THE CANONICAL, SOURCE-CITED STATEMENT that host-set auth attributes are model-unforgeable, which every hands-narrowing decision in this tree rests on. Cite THIS block rather than restating the claim, and read `scripts/auth-attribute-provenance-test.ts`, which pins it against the INSTALLED eve dist and fails loud if that shape moves. THE SHAPE: `session.auth.current` is ONE context-container slot, so the slot is the whole attack surface, and it is MINTED at exactly TWO sites — the RunInput the HOST hands the runtime at session start, and a delivery's own auth field, which only the host fills, written BEFORE the model runs in that same step — plus a round-trip restore of those two. A THIRD site WRITES the slot without minting one: eve 0.54.x's workflow-step authorization twin (`execution/tools/workflow/step-execution.js`) copies `context.session.auth.current` into a step-local container, and that value is itself a host read of AuthKey taken by the coordination dispatch. The twin reaches it only through eve's symbol-branded run context, which JSON tool input cannot carry, and the model-supplied half of the invocation — `args` — is applied to the step and never read for the write. So the slot still has two sources, and the test pins the copy shape at §3a rather than trusting the widening. The model reaches neither. A tool result never writes the slot. A subagent takes the PARENT's slot, and the model-authored half of a runtime action is never read as auth. HITL answer text rides a different field, and the payload OE builds itself is that same host-built bag, not a new writer. An approval or authorization resume carries no auth field at all, so the bag is NOT rewritten and the resumed turn keeps the stamps it parked with. Authored state cannot mint a key aliasing the reserved namespace. eve's own route-auth strategies build attributes only from a VERIFIED token's claims, and the anonymous fallbacks are frozen constants with no attributes. On the OE half every bag is built from a FIXED key set over platform facts: the only model-supplied strings reaching a dispatch are a task brief, which becomes the message body, and a spawn thread argument, which is colon-stripped and folded into a window id whose grain prefix the model cannot displace — and a completion leg DELETES the grain, addressing and taint stamps from what it forwards, so no stamp survives a hop it was not minted for.
+// 🔴 SCOPE — THE TWO REAL CAVEATS, both operator-gated, neither reachable by the model alone. The claim is "the MODEL cannot write these", NOT "nobody can": two OE ingresses accept an attacker-shaped attribute bag BY DESIGN and are secret-gated rather than model-gated — the self-dispatch route, HMAC'd over the raw body, and the control test-wake route, default-off PLUS a bearer from the WAKE-INJECTION token family, deliberately NOT the read-only control tokens, which that route refuses, because being able to stamp any grain is not a read power. Anyone holding those secrets can stamp any grain, so treat both as capability secrets. Separately, the documented dev-only in-process sandbox backend runs the agent's shell in THIS app process, so a model with `bash` inherits the deployment env, could read the dispatch secret and then forge a dispatch; under the defaults the shell is a separate machine with no env forwarding and the claim holds unqualified. NOT VERIFIED, the honest limits: eve's dist is minified, so this is a read of SHAPE and not a proof, and the full shape read was done against eve 0.27.5 ONLY. At the 0.47.2 bump the cited paths were re-pointed at the 0.47.x layout, and the dead-schema fact is re-pinned by the contract test on every run. At the 0.54.3 bump ONE arm was re-read end to end — the writer set: every `.set(AuthKey)` site in the dist, the third site's copy chain from the coordination dispatch's `AuthKey` read to the step-local container, and the symbol brand that gates it. The REST of the shape argument has not been re-read since 0.27.5 — the staleness bound is part of the claim, so keep both versions stated. eve does NOT validate the delivered attribute bag at runtime — its own schema is dead code, exported by nothing — which is why a stamp can carry an OBJECT despite the declared string type, and a release that starts validating would break that stamp.

+ * `privacyOk` is the surface's INTERNAL-TRUST floor: the OPERATOR VOUCH on the surface's own key, or the blanket internal-trust setting, fail-closed on un-vouched or unknown. It is the SAME per-surface allowlist that gates the shared cross-surface MEMORY, so admission to the shared WINDOW lines up exactly with the operator's standing "this surface is internal" assertion, and every surface uses it. Notion adds ONE MORE OPERATOR DECLARATION to that floor: a page under a declared TRUST ROOT passes on the verdict the webhook core already resolved for the delivery, which keeps the floor aligned with the memory plane that binds internal off the same verdict — still a declaration, still fail-closed, still no network. The surface's OWN private flag is DEMOTED to a logged defence-in-depth SIGNAL and is NOT the gate: a VOUCHED non-private surface ADMITS, so a workspace that can never mark a team private still reaches the window, and an UN-vouched surface never does whatever its private flag says. DOCTRINE: the operator vouches, the code enforces, and nothing is inferred from a surface field, which can be absent, stale, or actively misleading.
