The complete documentation proof observed a synthetic reader still in state R after the command pipes closed. Keep the 80-second group kill and 83-second test ceiling unchanged, but observe gone or zombie for at most half a second before declaring completion. Persistent live states, observation errors and malformed records still fail; deterministic transition and bound controls cover the witness.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation verification witness only; copied collector recipes, runtime behaviour and subsystem contracts are unchanged.

The current protected proposal's Docs run raises ESRCH when a synthetic reader disappears after /proc is opened. Treat that disappearance like ENOENT while retaining failure for surviving readers, permission/I/O errors and malformed observations. Deterministic controls exercise the actual deadline readback alongside the unchanged real whole-group deadline tests.
Contract-Neutral: Synthetic deadline-reader readback and regression controls only; copied recipes, runtime, deadlines and cleanup requirements are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Read counters directly under an already authorised account instead of elevating a child reader inside an unprivileged timeout. A denied read remains unavailable; no sudoers, service permissions or credential change is suggested. Preserve the original sudo recipe only as synthetic parent-control evidence.
Contract-Neutral: Existing passive diagnostic instructions and their synthetic controls only; no runtime, API, permission or frontend behaviour changes.

The exact-source TERM-ignoring control returned 124, not the intended kill result. Use GNU timeout's whole-group KILL deadline for these read-only collectors and verify that the owned synthetic reader is no longer running. Retain the adverse initial proof rather than relaxing its assertion.
Contract-Neutral: Diagnostic recipes and their synthetic deadline controls only; no runtime, API, permissions or frontend behaviour delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Withhold incomplete write/container counter pairs, reject reader and identity failures, and pin Docker stats to the full running container ID. Preserve the 60-second passive window and data-safety guidance without changing monitoring or permissions.
Contract-Neutral: Existing diagnostic documentation and synthetic recipe tests only; no runtime, API, permission or UI behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Give existing help readers scoped process/container samples, honest units and unchanged-workload baselines. Exercise the exact copied recipes, including stopped services, missing counters and failed or empty container reads, without touching a database or service.
Contract-Neutral: Existing-guide documentation and recipe tests only; no runtime, API, persistence, access or retention change.
