Safe-field heartbeat recovery: FM00

VUH-2628, run 20261021-160822_vuh2628_safe_field_recovery04_1: PASS, 35 steps in127.7s, single-PC loopback on build34. This qualifies recovery in empty FM00 Serenity with its reviewed dormant tutorial script.

The friend runtime was paused for2.6s. The1500ms lease expired and stayed failed closed. A fresh pinned connection, host capture of current native state, two-frame native convergence, a new scoped control lifetime and ordinal1 native reset ACK preceded Arm. Both seats' local avatars and remote puppets remained live through the paired clip. Native retained ownership of the Script row; flag40 was already1 on both seats and stayed1.

The captioned two-screen clip shows9.8s after recovery, host left/friend right. Expiry and the handshake are log evidence, not filmed. Full game frames are scaled, with no speed-up; the two recordings have independent capture timing. All294 final frames were inspected as contact sheets, with six larger samples checked for captions and provenance. No desktop or launcher footage is included. The existing solo-layout HUD notice remains visible; this fixture does not qualify party layout, movement or combat.

Release and the full203-test suite passed. Four protected saves, twelve movie hashes and all539 pins/products were unchanged; owned games, helpers and relay closed cleanly. Build33's test-only compilation failure is retained in the source record. The exact build34 DLL digest is 915609bc0008ddbefdf75babbb4dc834d0f4fbdc4a2c6dd534040e2201adb865.

Published on VUH-2628:

• Decisive reports: scenario report, pause/recovery receipts, both native/runtime logs, relay log, closure checks, source review, full build/test output and visual method.
• Exact inputs: all539 pinned source, product, fixture and review inputs, plus the packet seal and pins.
• Contact sheet, host raw clip, friend raw clip, and the two recovered stills.

Limits: FM00 only, with the exact native-owned dormant tutorial script. Parent Thorn kill/shared transition/rewards/cleanup/onward proof, mixed combat, other Script rooms, active-boss expiry and expiry during an owned pause remain open. This result does not change bot01's failed shared exit or attribute its transient stall. Bot02+ remains on VUH-2617. No further live attempt is authorized for this slice.

Evidence index: all eight objects were published and their receipt hashes verified. Independent final result review passed44 controls; the promoted public regression passed86 offline controls and real entry validation.
