Hare c78f7f7d80 feat: replace revision counters with domain state contracts
Use content digests, key fingerprints, binding and trust identities, immutable mutation receipts, and observation tokens instead of state-update ordinals across API, storage, Runtime, and Web contracts.

Preserve historical replay and secret material through frozen migrations; preflight uncertain removals before cutover, resume provisioning receipts, validate encrypted migration candidates, and align fresh/upgraded schemas. Include reviewed regression fixes, generated artifacts, and validation evidence.

Recovery session: SubWorker scope delegation is rejected

Observed boundary

During state-contract cleanup after restoring the worktree, WorkerList returned no children. The attached External Workdir yoi-origin advertised READ/WRITE/COMMAND, and the parent could read files, write files, and execute build commands through that attachment.

A new SubWorkerSpawn requesting only recursive READ of . on yoi-origin was rejected before the child started:

Invalid argument: scope parent-owned Workdir tools: Workdir operation denied: Workdir operation was denied

An empty scope is not supported (scope must not be empty), so a context-only child was also unavailable. No child was created, and no delegated work is running.

The response does not identify which delegation condition failed. Successful direct parent access does not establish delegation authority, so these observations alone do not establish whether the refusal is a policy restriction or a Provider implementation defect. No running process was stopped or reloaded to investigate this.

Additional observed tool failure

Edit of crates/workspace-server/src/store.rs, after reading it through the same attachment, returned:

Invalid argument: invalid argument: Workdir operation request is invalid

The parent could still modify that file using its granted command capability. This is an input-request failure observation, not evidence that Edit has the same root cause as the SubWorker denial.

Diagnostic need

Return bounded, non-sensitive reason categories that distinguish direct access from delegation denial, and distinguish invalid tool requests from scope checks. Avoid reporting generic denial as proof that a child is running or that the parent lost its direct attachment authority.
