+ * instanceLock.cjs — machine-wide scheduler-ownership lock (PRD 834).
+ *
+ * Electron's app.requestSingleInstanceLock() is keyed by userData path, so an
+ * instance launched with a different identity bypasses it entirely — live
+ * incident 2026-07-31: a Playwright `_electron.launch(src/main/index.cjs)`
+ * runs as the "Electron" default app (userData ~/.config/Electron), won its
+ * own Electron lock, ran full scheduler boot reconciliation against the same
+ * per-project queue state as the production instance, SIGTERM'd the
+ * production instance's live job as an "orphan", and overwrote
+ * admin-api.json. Dev/e2e launches skip the Electron lock on purpose, with
+ * the same effect.
+ *
+ * This lock is identity-independent: a pid file at a FIXED path under
+ * ~/.claude/session-manager/. Exactly one process — whichever wins the
+ * atomic 'wx' create — owns scheduler mutation (boot reconciliation, queue
+ * ticking, feedback sweep, supervisor, heartbeat) and the admin API. Every
+ * other instance runs scheduler-passive: UI reads still work (IPC read
+ * handlers register unconditionally), but nothing that mutates queue state
+ * or kills processes runs.
+ *
+ * Deliberately plain sync fs (no config.cjs writeJson): this runs before
+ * app.whenReady and must not await; the file is tiny and single-writer.
