Lot 9: ask the name again, drop ShutdownBlockReasonCreate, measure two games - #17

The day's sessions contradicted three things the detection record said of the writer. It can wait for the game's focus: Battlefield 6, left loading behind another window, ran from 15:05:34 and got its writer at 15:08:02, the second the maintainer brought it forward. Its release with someone at the keyboard is not "some twenty seconds" after the game's exit: six titles took 0.6 s to 85 s, and only "never while nobody touches the machine" stands. And it is not one per title: two games running together share one writer, a Steam game and a Store game alike. A game's own settings window counts too, being the game's executable. Corrected in place in the detection record, Lot 1 and Lot 18, whose table has the new rows; How it works and Getting started say the two points a player meets in a line each. Nothing changes in the program: these are Windows' verdicts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The refinement had one timed attempt, 20 s into a session, and a game still on its loading screen spent it: Battlefield 6 read 0.0 % for every candidate at 10 s and 75 % at 20 s, so a longer load kept the launcher's name for the whole session. An attempt now answers renamed, kept or undecided; only an undecided one -- nothing rendering, no match, a list or counters that cannot be read -- is followed by another, identify_after apart, six at most. The counters' first read leaves 18 handles and thirty more leave nothing, measured with presence-probe footprint, so a retry costs its sample and no more; How it works' cost table says so. Five scenarios in engine/tests.rs, the scripted sensor now recording the timeout each wait asked for; the three that need a second attempt fail with the count set to one. In the field, four Battlefield 6 sessions on this build each settled at the first attempt, two of them with the interval shortened to provoke the case, so the item stays open until a session meets it. Waiting on the named process instead is left with Lot 18, which would use the same handle. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ShutdownBlockReasonCreate is decided against. Microsoft's documentation says the shutdown screen lists only programs that block, never one with no visible window, and that registering a reason is what would put the watcher there, as a program blocking; the log has it gone 2 to 51 ms after Windows asks, and nothing can be restored at session end anyway. Lot 5's "worth having" is corrected in place. Two games back to back, measured by the maintainer beside presence-probe watch with American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, then Wreckfest 2 from Steam and Starfield from the Store: a game launched after the first one's writer was released gets a writer and a session of its own, named right; two games running together share one writer, so one session, the commands right but the name the first game's throughout. Two scenarios pin both shapes, a command logging each edge under the game's name. Closed with the maintainer's agreement, the name left to the wait on the named process that Lot 18 would measure.

Asked by the maintainer: a lot's commits are reduced to its logical steps before a push, a fix or a second attempt folded into the commit it completes, and a pull request's branch may be force-pushed for it. Only main's history still needs approval to rewrite. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Lot 9's three smaller items, and what the field said about them.
The game's name is asked again while there is no answer. An attempt at naming the game now answers renamed, kept or undecided. Only an undecided one is followed by another: nothing rendering yet, no match, or a list or counters that cannot be read. The next attempt comes
identify_afterlater, six attempts at most. The GPU counters' first read leaves 18 handles; thirty more reads leave nothing. There are five new engine scenarios, and the three that need a second attempt fail with the count set to one. In the field, four Battlefield 6 sessions each settled at the first attempt, two of them with the interval shortened to provoke the case. The item stays open until a session meets it.ShutdownBlockReasonCreateis decided against. Per Microsoft's documentation, the shutdown screen lists only programs that block, never a windowless one.

presence-probe watch. A game started after the first one's writer is released gets its own session, named right. Two games running together share one writer: one session, the commands right, but named after the first game. Two scenarios pin both shapes. Fixing the name needs a wait on the named game's process, left to Lot 18.The record's claims about Windows' presence writer, corrected:
