One host registry serves every composition in the process, so its two
service-wide collections answered per-owner questions process-wide. `start()`
asked only whether SOME surface was attached, so an agent whose own composition
loads no `tool-tasks` could start work it has no tool to collect or stop as soon
as any other preset attached one — and the answer changed depending on which
sessions happened to be open. `settle()` walked every registered listener, so a
task settling without a waiter injected one completion notice per mounted
preset into the same owner.
Both collections now sit in `ScopedLayers`, the layered-registry primitive
`tools` and `skills` already use: a registration files into its registering
context's scope, and a read unions the global layer with the owner's scope
chain. A surface or listener registered from an unscoped context lands in the
global layer and serves every owner, which is exactly the host-plane
composition's own controls, so the TUI path is unchanged without a special
case.
This supersedes the consumer-side filter in the previous commit. That filter
produced the right notices but sat in the wrong layer: it left the `start()`
gate process-wide, it could not be enforced against a producer that resolves
the registry directly, and it made a Consumer carry scope knowledge that the
other layered registries keep in the registry. `tool-tasks` is scope-agnostic
again and the `dsh-scope` edge moves to `tasks-local`.
`start()`'s refusal is now owner-relative, so its model-visible text names the
agent rather than the process. The shipped `minimal` preset keeps
`enableRunInBackground: false`, no longer as the safety boundary — the registry
owns that now — but so an agent that could never collect a task is not offered
the parameter at all.

Moving the task registry to the host plane put every preset's `tool-tasks`
listener on ONE `LocalTaskService`. `settle()` computes a single snapshot and
walks every registered listener with no scope filter, and it marks `reported`
only when a waiter is present — so a task settling without a waiter reached
each mount's listener with `reported` false and every one of them injected the
same completion into the same owner. Three shipped presets carry `tool-tasks`,
and a preset file edit adds a second generation of the same mount, so an agent
read N copies of one notice as model-visible durable context.
A mount now claims an owner only when the owner's scope chain reaches the
mount's own scope. An unscoped mount is the host-plane instance that serves
every agent, which keeps the TUI composition and every existing test intact.
Registry-side ownership was the alternative: mark `reported` once the first
listener claims it. It is wrong because `onTaskDone` is not a notice-only
seam — the `dsh-tasks` invariant companion registers a validating listener —
so first-claim-wins would silence observers that are not delivering anything.
The regression test mounts two scoped `tool-tasks` over one registry and
settles an unowned-wait task, which is the only path that reaches the notice
listeners at all: the shipped-composition e2e uses `wait: true`, and a waiter
marks `reported` before settlement, so that test structurally cannot cover it.
Also corrects the standing-mounts Agent Note, which still listed `tasks-local`
among the stateful PRESET plugins.

The frame carried `agentPreset` for surfaces that label the session, but
nothing consumed it: `noteAgentPreset` ran only in the switching tab's RPC
callback, so a second connected client refetched its catalogs while its
session row — the header label's source, and the hero chip's no-op input —
kept the composition the session had replaced.
`SessionManager.handleHostEnvelope` now folds the frame like the other
session frames. Re-applying the switching tab's own frame is a no-op: the
merge lowers `blank` only and keeps the row's `updatedAt`.
Presets own the rows that decide what a session's `/` menu contains, but
both browser catalogs cache per session and had no invalidation edge for a
recompose: `commands/changed` is registry-wide and recomposing registers
nothing, so the menu kept serving the composition the session no longer ran.
The host stream now frames the logged `agent-preset/selected` commit as
`host/session-preset-changed`; the runtime bridges it to the typed
`session/preset-changed` event, `ui-command` soft-refreshes that session's
directory key and `ui-skill` invalidates its catalog entry.
Reaching the host on a second switch was a separate defect: the list-row
identity guard compared every summary field except `agentPreset`, and the
merge keeps the row's `updatedAt`, so a switched row looked unchanged and
served its cached instance forever. The hero chip compares the pick against
that row, so switching back to the creation-time preset sent no RPC at all.
setScopeParent could re-link any key from anywhere, leaving the
blank-session-only recompose rule entirely to caller discipline. The
relation now binds once — a second bind throws — and re-linking exists
only on the ScopeParentBinding returned to the original binder, the
private-capability shape the package conventions prescribe for a
single-caller operation. The preset roster keeps each composed agent's
binding in a WeakMap keyed by the agent, making it the sole authority
that can move an agent between standing compositions; the blank-session
contract itself stays with the gateway, which alone can see what a
session logged.
Steering bubbles render as plain user bubbles; a mid-turn steer is
recognizable by its position in the flow. The runtime SteeringMessageNode
projection and pending-steering lifecycle are unchanged.
Partially supersedes the 2026-08-04 context-source and steer marks note;
the new simplification note owns the removal rationale.
The durable sandbox/acl-session event carried a workspace binding that
always equals the session cwd and a random temp path that only needed
to be stable per session. Both are now derived: the temp subdirectory
is sha256(session id + workspace), created exclusively and removed on
provider dispose, so fork/resume semantics fall out of the derivation
and the record, its fold/provision/tamper validation, the immediate
flush kick, and the session-store dependency all disappear.
