Adapt rcourtman’s Pulse PR2855 (aef53d0d3e), which diagnosed systemd’s silent exit-one absence. The original contributor commit is unchanged and explicitly credited, not imported, amended or re-parented in this maintainer candidate.
One bounded stdout/stderr observation accepts genuine absence but retains failed first reads, other statuses and blank-line output. Include the existing registered installer/updater verification hooks, real-empty-root controls and missing-unit recovery double in this same source commit. This replaces the rejected foreign-history composition with a normal maintainer-reviewed implementation; no provenance policy, credential or host installation changes.

The complete installer package correctly stopped its old re-entry fixture at unavailable mask evidence. Admit exact unmasked fixture units and record the sole daemon-reload operation instead of depending on a real host manager. Exercise the actual CLI re-entry with both effective runtime masks as well; retain refusal and all assets unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Confined test admission and CLI coverage only; no installer runtime or subsystem contract change.

Reconcile the returned timer-discovery repair: both exact units must have a successful bounded unmasked inventory before shared asset staging. Keep configured, runtime and off-destination persistent masks and all assets unchanged across every installer consumer, explicit setup and sandbox repair. Unknown or failed inventory stops replacement; enabled and disabled refresh remains consent-preserving.

Match complete systemctl inventory rows by exact unit field with bounded reads, so updates and reinstalls reach the existing helper refresh. Preserve deliberate timer and updater masks instead of replacing their symlinks. Exercise all five installer consumers, unchanged settings and enablement, failure/timeout controls and actual fixture-root systemctl inventory.
