  "observations": [
    "Recovery exposed two different kinds of stale state. A worker identity check still referred to a pre-reboot process, while the Hub bridge needed a fresh launch plan for the current boot. The identity correction was tested in isolation; it was not evidence of a live worker recovery.",
    "The native bridge was restored for that boot. Its local health checks returned 200 and the 80 existing run receipts were preserved. That proved a working response at the checkpoint. It did not prove automatic startup after another reboot or resolve the separate held journal.",
    "The control-room update then reached the actual desktop Hub. Seven installed source hashes matched, and native UI checks showed dated provider evidence, a work preview and clearer status presentation. The eight-file retained journal stayed unchanged.",
    "After reopen, capture was explicitly held because restart state was not verified. The interface improvement was real, but its value depended on keeping that limitation visible instead of turning a successful installation into a claim that the whole system was operational."

    "This is a sanitized documentary summary, not raw private evidence or a current health feed.",
