The end-to-end smoke Run finished done on the local ax: submit, egress policy,
resume, router start, repo-facts in gVisor, artifacts delivered through the
egress gateway, attribution table printed, task and policy cleaned up.

Agent Substrate's egress gateway denies an actor without an EgressPolicy, so
no task could deliver its artifacts or reach a model. egress.py grants each
task exactly: http/80 to ousast-receiver.ax-system.svc.cluster.local, and
TLS passthrough/443 to the bound Workspaces' https Git hosts and the bound
Model's openultrasast.io/egress-hosts (api.deepseek.com for deepseek-flash).
No IPs, no wildcards, no https (MITM) rules.
The reconciler writes the policy with kubectl-ate between ax apply and
resume, reads it back, waits OUSAST_EGRESS_SETTLE (11 s, the gateway's
cached deny), and after ax delete task confirms the policy went with its
actor (kubectl-ate has no delete verb; the store cascades).
The receiver is a selector-less Service (ops/ax/receiver-service.yaml.tmpl,
applied by up.sh together with the no-build agentgateway egress gateway)
on port 18090 of the host. Measured live: the gateway checks the policy on
Host but connects to the address the actor dialled, so the runner dials the
Service's ClusterIP (OUSAST_ARTIFACT_DIAL) with the receiver's name as Host.
The runner now labels its delivery with the Run's task name (OUSAST_TASK),
which is what the receiver accepts; the ax Task name was refused with 403.
The Receiver moved to egress.py to keep reconciler.py at 460 lines.

Agent Substrate's golden-snapshot boot runs the same image with the same task env,
so the runner no longer starts its command by itself: after the workspaces are
ready it waits for POST /ousast/v1/start (run/task checked, once per boot, refused
after a delivered run). The reconciler sends it through svc/atenet-router with
ate-target-actor, which never addresses the golden actor (plane/router.py), and the
bound Model's secretKey variable travels only in that body, into the child's env.

The first live run on the local ax cluster and ax's source (docs/runner.md,
docs/sandbox.md, internal/controller/reconciler.go, internal/server/server.go)
showed a lifecycle the task-3/4 code did not model:
- `ax apply` creates a Task Suspended (Ready=False, TaskSuspended); it runs only
after `ax resume task`. The first resume of a new image can fail with
DeadlineExceeded while Agent Substrate builds the golden snapshot, and ax's
server then stores phase Failed; a later resume succeeds.
- ax has no Completed phase and never reads a command's exit back.
- The runner is PID 1 and must keep serving after the command exits; stop and
suspend deliver SIGTERM, to be forwarded to the command's process group.
Our runner imported the task in-process and exited, which stopped the
container ("Container guest is stopped") and made every resume time out.
- ax's controller probes /readyz?check=workspace; the query string made our
handler answer 404.
Runner (Req 4.1-4.4): spec.command runs as a child
`python -m openultrasast.plane.tasks.<name>` in its own process group, cwd the
first workspace, AX_METADATA_URL set; ax's metadata paths are served. After the
child exits the runner reads summary.json (a crash without one becomes failed
with the exit code and stderr tail), delivers the output directory, writes
/workspace/.ousast-state/<task>.done.json and serves until SIGTERM (forwarded
to the group, SIGKILL after OUSAST_TERM_GRACE, exit 0). A boot with the marker
never reruns the command; a failed delivery is retried alone. Workspaces are
prepared on the first boot only. AX_RUNNER_EXIT_AFTER_COMMAND=1 is the
unit-test escape.
Reconciler (Req 2.2, 2.3, 3.1-3.3): `ax resume task` after apply, retrying
DeadlineExceeded/Unavailable with backoff up to OUSAST_RESUME_TIMEOUT (900 s);
completion is the artifact delivery; Failed after a resume went through, a
vanished task, or no delivery within OUSAST_TASK_TIMEOUT (7200 s) fail the
task with ax's condition message; `ax delete task` follows. Ax gains resume()
and phase() returns the condition message. doctor moves to plane/doctor.py
(tasks.md task 0 allows the sibling) to keep reconciler.py under 500 lines.
Tests: the fake ax follows the real lifecycle (Suspended, a failing first
resume that leaves Failed, Running forever, delivery only after a resume went
through), plus Failed-with-message, vanish, resume-timeout and task-timeout
scenarios; runner tests cover the child's cwd/group/metadata URL, stay-up and
SIGTERM in a real subprocess, SIGKILL of a SIGTERM-ignoring group, and the
marker. The opt-in live test now checks resume, Running, suspend and a second
resume instead of a Completed phase. design.md and tasks.md state the
lifecycle; the module audit manifest counts plane.doctor.

Maintainer decisions 2026-09-29: ax (kind + Agent Substrate + ax controller on
this host) is the only executor; the Run layer carries dependencies, artifacts,
budgets and attribution until ax has them. Requirement 7 declares routing per
Task (one Model per Task, no runtime switching) and a token attribution table
from provider usage fields. Task 0 (bring-up, doctor), runner artifact delivery,
ax-backed reconciler with a fake-ax test seam. harnessx-removal brief records
the HarnessX inventory; removal is gated on the increment's measurement.

Nine tasks in dependency order: manifests, budget metering, runner contract,
reconciler and CLI, repo-facts, verify and agree, the increment's manifests, the
measurement against the recorded batched check, handover.
