The closed-loop reply-pump guard now ships with a deterministic regression test:
a worker thread abandons a binding so its loop closes, the host answers that call
before a later binding, and the pump must survive the closed-loop
call_soon_threadsafe to deliver the later reply (host-gated ordering makes it
deterministic; unguarding the pump hangs the later binding to the wall clock).
Align the quiescence self-description with the shipped setsid limitation:
teardown()'s JSDoc and the Agent Note's Problem line now qualify "no subprocess
outlives the fiber" to subprocesses that stay in the child's process group, with
a setsid()-escape exception pointing at the README. Tighten the setsid-orphan
fixture's self-timeout to 5s and its upper-bound assertion to <4000ms so a failed
deadline backstop is a sharper red. Register the new regression tests in the note.
