 **Dead-pane respawn resume pin** (`_buildRespawnPaneOptionsWithResumePin()`, session.ts): recovering a dead pane, like a custom-model `restartCli()`, must pin the conversation or claude refuses the reused `--session-id`. The pin takes the first transcript-backed candidate (chain tail, launch seed, own id), never `_claudeSessionId`, adds nothing when none is backed, and is never applied to remote or docker sessions. → [architecture-invariants#dead-pane-respawn-the-resume-pin](docs/architecture-invariants.md#dead-pane-respawn-the-resume-pin)

 **Process-tree walks are bounded** (`proc-tree.ts`, pure): `collectDescendants(pid, byParent)` is the ONE descendant traversal, fed by one cached `ps -eo pid=,ppid=` snapshot (`refreshProcSnapshot()` in tmux-manager.ts: async, in-flight-shared, and ANY error discards the result rather than caching a truncated `ps`). ⚠️ Never walk a process tree with per-node `pgrep` or unbounded recursion (the unbounded version took a machine down): the walk must terminate on cycles, cap depth (`PROC_WALK_MAX_DEPTH`) and node count (`PROC_WALK_MAX_NODES`), and never spawn anything. ⚠️ Keep it in its own module so the test exercises the shipped code, and report truncation through `onTruncated` naming both caps, never silently. → [architecture-invariants#process-tree-walks-are-bounded](docs/architecture-invariants.md#process-tree-walks-are-bounded)

And a stopped session never scans: killing the pane produces output, the buffer tail still holds the dialog, and a deleted session went on scanning it and arming the timer for several seconds.
