Managed-session stop path

Can a managed agent stop safely?

In this synthetic test run, every declared stop-path assertion matched before any external action could occur.

The result covers only sessions created through the tested managed path. It is not a customer-environment audit or a guarantee that every agent can be stopped.

Case-level summary

What the test did, and did not, establish.

Authenticated request

A request signed with the expected control key was accepted for its exact active session.

Invalid signature

An altered request was rejected before termination was attempted.

Expiry

An expired request was rejected before termination was attempted.

Session binding

A request targeting a different managed session was rejected.

Replay

Two concurrent uses of one request produced one accepted response and one replay rejection.

Shutdown order

The synthetic broker-close callback completed before process termination was signalled.

Forced stop

A non-responsive synthetic process received the bounded termination sequence.

Evidence

The test recorded a lifecycle event without exposing the raw test actor identifier.

Tamper handling

Altered response or state evidence failed verification.

Startup failure

A synthetic launch failure closed the broker path and did not leave a managed process running.

Filesystem boundary

State and socket tests rejected unsafe symlink boundary conditions.

Natural exit

A normal synthetic completion recorded closure without a stop request.

Schema contract

Generated request, state, and response fields matched their strict public contracts.

Scope limit

The supervisor claim boundary states that it cannot stop agents launched outside its managed path.

No external action

The run used test doubles only: no customer systems, production keys, or external agents were executed.

Use it before an incident

Test the stop path while nothing is wrong.

Define who may stop a job, which exact session the request can target, how replay is rejected, what gets shut down first, how long termination may take, and where privacy-reduced evidence is retained.
