Keep stage/reason classification in the Journal Feature without changing frozen input, metadata or fallback behavior. Exercise connection, Host read failures, size budget and secret-bearing fixtures through compaction persistence.
Validation: old freeze function with new tests fails connection and snapshot/size diagnostics (3 failures); new code passes all six selected cases and cargo test -p worker. Serialization is currently unreachable for the derived JSON-safe snapshot fields; no artificial runtime failure is claimed.
Logical Workdir routing can use a Workspace session instead of the operation's raw Deferred handle, and reconstruction can fail before routing. Close the exact handles frozen in the accepted operation request after router cleanup and before releasing allocation ownership. Do not resolve aliases against a new execution or consult current Host grants for cleanup.
Reproduced on 61c20b099 with diagnostic-only test output: rollback emptied routers with provider opens 0, but raw read succeeded and opened the provider (1). Retain the SessionClosed and zero-open regression, add pre-router Metadata/Reconstruction/Binding recovery and operation-mismatch/same-alias isolation coverage. Focused Profile and deferred cases pass; full exact-source validation follows this commit before publication.
UNCOMPILED TRANSPORT / PRESERVATION CHECKPOINT, NOT A VALIDATED CANDIDATE. One-time recovery authorization permits publication before validation so the parent can validate this exact source in a separate Workdir. Prior compilation attempts were interrupted by Workdir-session unavailability; cause and test outcome remain unknown. No Cargo build/check/test was started in this bounded checkpoint turn.
Merge current lane 4ef7b03651 into existing source b7a22146a0. Selectively adapt typed factory failure and same-operation cleanup/replay while preserving current saved Feature restore and operation-time authorization, logical/deferred Workdirs, T765 Host/schema and T768 replay-safe Subject grant. No T770/T771 implementation.
All 19 target-relative paths and added test bodies were source-audited. Workspace fmt check, scoped rustfmt, whitespace/diff checks passed; conflict markers zero. Excluded unrelated formatter changes and untracked compiler artifacts. Local audit: target/t769-checkpoint/AUDIT.md.
Handoff to parent: compile and run focused and package/API regressions on this exact source, fix as necessary, then obtain fresh independent review. Existing MR 01a15606-a6ba-7d23-8d60-0874607399e7 only; no new review requested here. No acceptance, approval, adoption, target/develop push, integration, Ticket closure or service update is asserted.
