* refactor(mantis): reuse authorized desktop captures
* fix(mantis): budget desktop authorization failures
* chore(mantis): bound desktop proof retries
* fix(e2e): drop unused recorder failure fact type export
* fix(ci): route Mantis desktop teardown through the recorder wrapper
Cleanup invoked the internal recorder executable as mantis-sut, which is
deliberately kept out of the docker group and cannot read the
recorder-owned session file; teardown therefore failed and blocked
safe_to_release. The cleanup step already runs as the recorder user, so
call the public wrapper whose exec shim cds into the session root.
* fix(e2e): make recorder failure fact lane-readable; document v2 lifecycle
The Mantis workflow runs the recorder as the desktop user while the lane
reads the authorization-failure fact as mantis-sut; 0600 made that read
fail EACCES and silently disabled the two-attempt retry budget. Write the
fact 0644 — the 0770 attempt directory bounds visibility.
Update the mantis doc's recorder section for the v2 session lifecycle:
required --session handle with healthy-session reuse, capture-only stop,
and teardown owning authorization termination and lease release.
* perf(mantis): parallelize proof builds and warm caches

Identical source measures 345034-345058 B across builds while the
committed baseline left only a 9 B margin under the 512 B ratchet
tolerance, so build-artifacts flips on gzip nondeterminism (green on
main run 32559609413, red on PR run 32559442295, red locally).

## What Problem This Solves
Auto-triggered Mantis proof runs (label/`clawsweeper_label` and other non-comment request sources) end with no PR comment at all. The durable evidence publisher runs with `--create-missing false` and only edits an existing marker comment, but the inline status comment carrying that marker was only created when `request_source == 'issue_comment'`. Label-triggered runs therefore published nothing and logged the misleading "Skipped stale Mantis QA evidence comment because its status is no longer active" — observed on PR #127735. This is the silent-failure class: a Mantis run completes and the PR shows no visible outcome.
## Why This Change Was Made
- `.github/workflows/mantis-telegram-desktop-proof.yml`: the status ack comment (👀 + active-job link + run-scoped marker) is now created for every request source that resolves to a PR (`pr_number != ''`), not only `issue_comment`. The 👀 *reaction* stays `issue_comment`-only (it lives in `mantis-resolve-request.yml`, untouched — there is no triggering comment to react to on label runs).
- The start-failure fallback comment and the existing-artifact republish path now use the same run-scoped marker `<!-- mantis-telegram-desktop-proof:${GITHUB_RUN_ID}-${GITHUB_RUN_ATTEMPT} -->` as the status comment and the main publisher, so every publisher edits the single run-owned comment (ack → progress → final proof; no comment spam). The republish path gets an explicit `--create-missing false` to match. The design invariant that makes `false` safe: the fallback status-comment step is not `continue-on-error`, so a run in which no marker comment could be created fails `resolve_request` and never reaches publish.
- `scripts/mantis/publish-pr-evidence.mjs`: the two skip cases now log honestly — "no existing comment found" vs "could not update existing comment" — instead of one misleading stale-status message.
## User Impact
Operators triggering Mantis via labels (ClawSweeper flows) now get the same single evolving PR comment as comment-triggered runs: an immediate 👀 ack with the running job link, edited in place into the final proof evidence. No more runs that finish invisibly.
## Evidence
- Focused suite: `node scripts/run-vitest.mjs test/scripts/mantis-telegram-desktop-proof-workflow.test.ts` — 28/28, including new assertions that the status/failure comment gates use `pr_number != ''` (and not `request_source`) and that both publishers pass the run-scoped marker with `--create-missing false`.
- `node scripts/check-changed.mjs -- <touched files>` green; `git diff --check` clean.
- Marker alignment verified across all five sites in the workflow (status comment, prior-attempt cleanup regex, fallback comment, failure report, both publisher invocations): all use `mantis-telegram-desktop-proof:${GITHUB_RUN_ID}-${GITHUB_RUN_ATTEMPT}`.
- Live-run proof of the label-triggered path requires a merged workflow (GitHub runs the workflow from the default branch for these triggers), so the first post-merge label-triggered Mantis run is the live verification; stated here as the known evidence gap.
Production LOC delta: −4 (workflow/tooling); tests +13.
Makes the Mantis Telegram Desktop proof agent programmable at its trust boundaries: declarative Bot API fault rules (drop/status per method), per-request scripted mock-provider responses, observe-until predicates (post-cursor events/text, cumulative provider count), and bounded proxy-side recording of outbound Bot API requests as trusted lane facts. Adds a reusable recipe library under .github/codex/prompts/mantis-recipes/ and raises the proof agent's reasoning effort to high.
Security: the SUT container shadows proxy-control with an inaccessible tmpfs so candidate PR code sharing the mantis-sut uid cannot read or rewrite the proxy's recorded evidence; unmount is blocked by cap-drop/no-new-privileges. Proof doctrine now treats proxy-recorded Bot API facts as trusted comparison evidence and provider request logs as diagnostics.
Follow-up named in PR: move the mock OpenAI server out of the SUT container so provider request facts also become candidate-tamper-proof.
Make long, free-form Telegram proof runs truthful and resilient. Keep the trusted mock harness current across historical SUTs, preserve intentional silence and blocked outcomes, remove fixed attempt/lifetime caps, and export cropped motion proof without the prior memory spike.

Remove the premature visibility classifier and let one proof agent configure and exercise the disposable Telegram gateway. Align mock response timing with the 15-minute lane budget while preserving credential isolation through the alias-token proxy.
Preserve honest blocked proof outcomes and publish visible stop-reports without marking them passed. Serialize burst runs through the authoritative Telegram-user lease while reserving time for proof and cleanup.
Give maintainers immediate visibility when Mantis is requested. Bare mentions now react, link the active run, and keep one run-owned status comment through proof, short-circuit, or failure.

Add trusted ClawSweeper-label and maintainer-comment dispatch for Mantis Telegram proof. Short-circuit non-visible PRs before desktop setup while preserving exact-head, fork, credential, and comment-ownership boundaries.
Move Mantis Telegram Desktop proof from the remote AWS/Crabbox lane to a recorder-driven local Docker desktop. Keep proof scenarios agent-authored, cache trusted build outputs, and publish exact visible Telegram evidence without writing the QA bot token to artifacts.

One-time maintainer-authorized bootstrap merge for the release-gate verifier policy. Exact hosted CI and all supporting workflow gates passed on 66133de419.
Recreated from #85108 because the original branch could not be updated by maintainers.
Preserves current-main pnpm install hardening while switching workflow pnpm setup to packageManager, and adds exact version-scoped release-age exclusions for already-locked packages that pnpm 11.2.2 audits during install.
