+ * {@link detectUnattributedHookBlocks}' #205 invariant ("a blocked tool must
+ * never silently complete" → "an unresolved tool must never silently
+ * complete").
+ *
+ * THE SHAPE THIS CATCHES. A tool that hangs INSIDE the Cursor agent runtime —
+ * the production case is `generateImage`, which rides the SDK's
+ * interaction-query channel rather than the ordinary tool path — streams a
+ * tool_call start, never streams a result, and is invisible to every Stigmer
+ * seam: the hook never denied it (no ledger entry), so the reconcile never
+ * gated it, and the turn completes with the row still PENDING/RUNNING. Before
+ * this sweep, the server's terminal settle (issue #207) stamped such rows
+ * TOOL_CALL_INTERRUPTED silently AFTER the runner reported completion — the
+ * transcript's last word stayed whatever the model claimed, which in
+ * aex_01m1a6ww3nmp4952ar5v0g4g85 was a promise that an approval was pending
+ * when none existed.
+ *
+ * Settling here instead makes the runner the author of the honest record: the
+ * row gets TOOL_CALL_INTERRUPTED with {@link UNRESOLVED_TOOL_CALL_ERROR}, and
+ * the caller (turn-boundary.ts) appends a system disclosure naming what never
+ * ran.
+ *
+ * WHY INTERRUPTED AND NEVER FAILED. TOOL_CALL_INTERRUPTED is deliberately the
+ * one settled status the monotonic merge guard lets live execution evidence
+ * supersede (see the guard's note in this file, ~line 331): if this FAILED
+ * execution is later RECOVERED, the harness checkpoint may re-execute the call
+ * under its original id, and the replayed events must be able to advance the
+ * row to its true outcome. A boundary-stamped FAILED would freeze it forever.
+ *
+ * WHY IT NEVER FAILS THE RUN (unlike #205). A foreign hook block is provably
+ * adversarial — approval semantics are permanently broken, so completing would
+ * always be a lie. An unresolved row can also be benign stream event-loss
+ * where the tool actually ran; failing the run would convert those into
+ * regressions. Disclosure restores honesty at zero regression risk.
+ *
+ * Scope and exclusions, in order:
+ *  - THIS turn's parent-transcript rows only (from `turnStartMessageIndex`):
+ *    seeded prior-turn rows were adjudicated by their own execution's settle,
+ *    and sub-agent inner rows are the server settle's concern — the parent row
+ *    (e.g. the Task call) is what the user sees. Mirrors #205's scoping.
+ *  - Only PENDING/RUNNING rows: every terminal row was adjudicated, and
+ *    WAITING_APPROVAL rows belong to the pause machinery (the caller only runs
+ *    this sweep on a NON-pausing turn, so none should exist here anyway).
+ *  - Only rows with NO denial-ledger entry of ANY kind (exact token, then the
+ *    normalized-path fallback — the same two identities every sweep in this
+ *    file uses): a ledger-attributed row is the unattended/secret/fail-closed
+ *    machinery's to settle, not ours.
+ *
+ * Returns the settled calls so the boundary can disclose and log them.
