Keep a run-scoped evidence owner from acquisition through settlement and
cleanup retry. Bind token observations to native generations and retain
related generations and unresolved identity lookups across table omissions,
reparenting and process-group changes without treating PID hints as authority.
Use native effective UID facts for withholding decisions, corroborate Linux
procfs absence, and share the Linux stat parser with sampling and debugger
identity checks. Signal only after current token and group revalidation.
Complete swept cleanup across all groups with one bounded final family check;
retain unresolved owners and successful-peer completion across retries.
Validation: npm run check, docs:check and test discovery passed. Focused
ownership/consumer coverage totals 513 passed and 1 skipped across 35 files,
including the corrected Electron cancellation test rerun independently. Darwin helper compilation, real
owned Node child cleanup, CLI/MCP capture and retained cleanup retries ran.
Real Electron applications, native Linux races/PID reuse and Windows cleanup
were not qualified. The original Linux reports remain open for that work.

Refs #4322, #5206
Keep procfs absence separate from denied and failed reads. Carry successful
rows, thread children and bounded diagnostics together so one failed sibling
cannot erase readable peers. Retain root initialization failures and validate
ps-discovered Linux candidates through stable procfs identity brackets.
Await issued reads during shutdown, retain completed rows and report an
unfinished pass through the existing sampling failure/diagnostic contract.
Derive partial coverage at its owner and preserve actual read errors when
shutdown also interrupts observation. Keep the public capture schema unchanged
and verify it with the previous strict capture reader.
Update directly affected coverage consumers and regression fixtures, including
identity contradictions, mixed outcomes, late failures, cleanup, cancellation,
process-only comparison unknowns and converted MCP schemas.
Validation: 12 focused files / 123 tests; full check; docs check (5 tests);
test discovery (1,635 files). Real macOS CLI/MCP controls exercised source-owned
PTY targets. Linux permission behavior uses deterministic boundary fixtures;
real Linux and Windows qualification remain unavailable. Completed CLI cost
comparisons do not establish a speedup.
