 request drawn once from the snapshot and later events followed by sequence.
 An idle runtime with a pending request also keeps this callback open until the
 request is resolved. Standalone requests use the explicit runtime-history marker
-instead of reopening an earlier answer. Managed conversations save their native
-identity before sending input, as well as when a turn ends.
-Stop is observed during the save and checked before input, including a lease
+instead of reopening an earlier answer. A new conversation sends its first input
+before trying to save its native identity: the harness creates its transcript
+from that input. Identity saves run after input acceptance, retry with later
+native events until one succeeds, and run again when a turn ends. After reload,
+the exact runtime's user history/events recover that save obligation; restored
+snapshots, later events and response completion retry through the same host
+checks without sending input. A busy state or standalone request alone does
+not establish submitted input. A failed save
+does not resend input or abort a running turn. An unbound conversation whose
+final save fails says the prompt was submitted, and tells the person to keep Chat
+open and avoid repeating the prompt.
+Stop is observed throughout the turn and checked before input, including a lease
 renewal retry. Retained request/decision records with no originating replay
 prompt appear in a separate runtime-history turn.
 The [reload investigation](../../docs/evidence/chat-pending-approval-reload-2026-10-08.md)
