 5. For every protocol 3.3.1 request, call `trackly_get_active_apply_batch` before creating anything.

Only when it returns no active batch may you call `trackly_create_apply_batch` once with the requested count and a fresh idempotency key. Then page only that batch with `trackly_get_apply_batch` and claim it with `trackly_claim_apply_batch`. The returned server membership and order are authoritative. Do not call `trackly_get_apply_queue` first to construct a client-side candidate list; reserve that tool for previewing the queue or resuming a legacy protocol 3.2 single run.
+   - Before mutating any form, inspect prior-submission evidence the user supplies or evidence already visible on the bound application surface. Never search a mailbox or another unrelated private-data source. Prefer an exact requisition ID. Without one, require the same employer plus an exact or near-exact role and a timestamp inside the known batch window; this weaker match is actionable only after the user explicitly confirms the batch linkage. A same-company receipt for a materially different role is negative evidence for the current member: do not mark it applied and do not close its tab. When the member has no run/browser binding yet, use the sanctioned idempotent start and bind the exact employer page without entering private data before recording any receipt evidence.
+   - A receipt verifies job identity, not submission authority: even an exact-requisition receipt remains orthogonal evidence and cannot substitute for a success page or explicit user confirmation. For a verified duplicate with that normal confirmation gate satisfied, first record provider-receipt evidence where the protocol permits it, then reconcile the member/job to `submitted` and `applied_confirmed` using the documented confirmation path. Refetch and verify both durable states before closing the mapped tab; record close receipt and post-close union absence. Never merely close a suspected duplicate, and never reopen or refill it.
+   - After receipt reconciliation, schedule browser work across the unchanged frozen set by semantic accessibility. Schedule accessible members before known credential-gated members. Use known/static page state first and do not open a known credential-gated member while an accessible member remains. When accessibility is unknown, permit only a minimal non-mutating probe; on detecting credential, OTP, verification, or account creation, checkpoint the typed human action immediately, preserve the member/tab, and move on without credential interaction. This changes execution scheduling only; it never replaces, rescopes, or reorders the server-frozen membership.
+   - Regression fixtures for this gate: (positive) same employer + near-exact role + same batch timestamp + explicit confirmation that the evidence belongs to this batch, followed separately by explicit submission confirmation or a success page -> reconcile, verify, close; (negative) same employer + different role -> keep current member and tab; (historical) stale `check_later` state plus a matching receipt and several sign-in walls -> receipt audit before browser mutation, then accessible forms before gated forms.
    - Use the frozen member's `staticExclusionCode` as the pre-run blocker. Never infer a stronger support claim from the page design or the LLM's familiarity with a provider. For a member without a static exclusion, call `trackly_start_apply_run`; its returned backend-owned `atsCapability`, `originPolicy`, `executionBlocker`, and required scenarios are authoritative for browser work.
    - Stop after `trackly_start_apply_run` whenever its `executionBlocker` is non-null. `standard` runs use the provider playbook. `guided` runs are allowed only while semantic browser state remains observable, `originPolicy.authorized` is true, and every published stop condition is obeyed. `manual_only` items stop without browser or private-data mutation.
    - When `originPolicy.verification` is `trackly_employer_source_exact_origin`, Trackly has authorized the exact stored HTTPS origin from its direct employer-careers ingestion. Do not demand a separate ownership timestamp, ATS tenant, or company-domain suffix. This authorization never extends to another origin, hostname suffix, redirect, or iframe. The queue/run will require `job_identity_match`; pass it only after the browser visibly confirms the frozen company, role, and available requisition identity. Revalidate that identity after every navigation or redirect and before entering any additional private data.

If either version is 3.3.1, do not assume this repair exists: preserve the confirmation tab, use only the normal documented review-ready transition when it is still valid, and otherwise report that the backend must update before reconciliation. In every case, preserve the confirmation tab until a refetch proves member lifecycle `submitted` and job state `applied_confirmed`.
 - If the user explicitly confirms submission, reclaim the current batch lease if needed, first record current-epoch `confirmation_detected` evidence with source `user_confirmation` through `trackly_record_apply_submission_evidence`, then use the separate literal `outcome: submitted` with the exact current batch/member/epoch/lease binding and confirmation `user_confirmation`.
 - Treat the outcome response as a durable commit gate. Refetch each submitted member and require both member lifecycle `submitted` and Trackly job state `applied_confirmed`. On conflict, preserve the success tab, refresh once, and replay only the documented idempotent evidence/outcome sequence. If reconciliation still fails, report a P0 reconciliation defect and leave the tab open; never claim Trackly moved the job.
 - A provider receipt is optional orthogonal evidence. Record it as `provider_receipt_detected`; never use `provider_receipt` as the outcome confirmation or as a substitute for a success page or explicit user confirmation.

+## User-visible handoff receipt
+
+Opening or restoring a controller tab is not proof that the user can see it.
+Before saying that a form is open, visible, ready for review, or preserved:
+
+1. Use the reachability proof supported by the preservation path selected at
+   readiness:
+   - For the session-finalizer path, reconcile the complete controller and user
+     inventories and require the handed-off tab to appear in the complete
+     user-owned inventory.
+   - For the per-tab durable-handoff path, an exact current tab-bound
+     user-visible handoff receipt is alternative reachability proof; do not
+     require inventories that this path explicitly permits to be unavailable.
+2. Before claiming a tab is visible, focus or reveal that exact review tab
+   through the adapter's documented presentation action and verify its
+   documented visible state or exact current tab-bound user-visible handoff
+   receipt. Inventory membership alone is never visibility proof.
+3. Report the actual browser surface and any tab that could not be proven
+   visible. Never convert controller ownership into a visibility claim.
+
+If the selected path can provide neither its required reachability proof nor
+an exact visibility receipt, preserve the tab but say that visibility is
+unverified. Do not tell the user to submit a form that has not been proven
+reachable from their surface.
+
+## Browser-session finalization safety
+
+Treat browser-session finalization as destructive cleanup, not as a harmless
+handoff marker. Immediately before ending every browser turn:
+
+1. Determine the currently live mapped application tabs from the local ledger,
+   including frozen-batch members and legacy single-run tabs. If there are no
+   live mapped application tabs, skip both session finalization and per-tab
+   handoff; never call a finalizer with an empty keep list.
+2. Use only the end-to-end preservation path selected at browser readiness:
+   - For the documented session-finalizer path, refresh and reconcile the
+     complete current controller-owned and user-owned inventory union
+     immediately before building an explicit `{ tab, status: "handoff" }` keep
+     entry for every live mapped application tab. A controller-only refresh
+     cannot prove that a handed-off user tab still exists. Then call
+     `browser.tabs.finalize({ keep })` exactly once as the final browser action.
+   - For the documented per-tab durable-handoff path, do not require an
+     unavailable complete inventory union. Invoke the primitive for every live
+     application tab mapped in the ledger and verify an exact persistence
+     receipt for each one.
+   The mere presence of a finalizer must never override the verified per-tab
+   fallback. Never invoke an implicit close-all cleanup or an undocumented
+   substitute.
+3. Never finalize with an omitted, empty, partial, guessed, or stale keep list.
+4. Do not use undocumented per-tab `finalize`, `markHandoff`, or
+   `markDeliverable` calls. Use only the browser's documented session-level
+   finalizer or documented per-tab durable-handoff contract.
+5. Never finalize while creating or restoring tabs; wait until all form
+   mutations and committed-state checks for that turn are complete.
+
+A review-ready, inspecting, needs-input, or submitted-but-unreconciled
+application tab always remains `handoff` while it is live. Omit a ledger tab
+after the user explicitly requests closure, or the user confirms they closed it
+directly, and the selected path provides definitive absence proof: either the
+complete inventory union proves the tab absent, or the per-tab adapter returns
+an exact current tab-bound user-side closure/absence receipt. Without that
+proof, preserve the member and enter missing-tab recovery on the next turn;
+never claim the unsaved draft survived. Agent-initiated closure still requires
+the submitted/applied close-proof gate.
+
+Determine which durable preservation mechanism the adapter supports during
+the browser readiness gate and prove that mechanism is usable end to end. A
+session-finalizer path is ready only when the adapter can also enumerate a
+complete current controller-owned and user-owned inventory union for its keep
+list. If complete inventory access is unavailable, use only a documented
+per-tab durable-handoff primitive whose exact persistence receipt can be
+verified for every target tab. If neither complete finalizer path nor verified
+per-tab path is available, stop before mutating the form or entering private
+data. A no-op is not a preservation mechanism because temporary agent-created
+tabs may disappear at turn end.
+
+If finalization returns ambiguously or any expected tab disappears, stop all
+form mutation. Because the finalizer must remain the turn's last browser
+action and must not be rerun, defer inventory recovery to the next turn. On
+that next turn, reconcile both controller and user inventories, preserve every
+remaining tab, and report any loss immediately. Never claim the tabs are
+visible or the drafts are preserved until the complete user-visible inventory
+proves it.
