The V2 agent was deterministically self-destructing on every first run after --install on a fresh VM. CheckEnrollmentCompleteMarker reads HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutopilotMonitor\Deployed (written by --install) and treats "marker present + session.id absent" as a ghost restart, triggering ExecuteSelfDestruct and wiping %ProgramData%\AutopilotMonitor before FetchConfigAsync can run. Remote config's SelfDestructOnComplete=false was never honored because the config fetch never happened. Legacy V1 agent creates the session in LoadConfiguration (Program.Configuration.cs:131) before the guard runs (Program.cs:169). V2 reversed this ordering with a comment claiming it prevents "dead session resurrection" — but the guards key on file-system state (SessionPersistence.SessionExists()), not the runtime-loaded session object, so the reordering was functionally unnecessary and introduced this regression. Fix: move SessionIdPersistence.GetOrCreate + --new-session handling back before the guards, restoring Legacy boot order. Ghost-restart detection still triggers in its intended case (session.id file deleted by incomplete self-destruct, but Scheduled Task + registry marker survive). Test coverage: adds 3 missing tests for CheckEnrollmentCompleteMarker in ProgramGuardsTests.cs (first-run with session, marker without selfdestruct, marker with selfdestruct retry). The M4.6.alpha guard suite had no coverage for this path, which is how the regression shipped. 425 V2.Core tests green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
