1. Conda/Systemd Contract Alignment

• 1.1 Centralize runtime path configuration consumed by service units, watchdog, and scripts.
• 1.2 Add startup validation that fails fast on conda path drift.
• 1.3 Update systemd/watchdog integration tests for consistent runtime contract.

2. Worker Self-Healing Policy

• 2.1 Implement bounded auto-restart policy (cooldown, retry budget, churn window).
• 2.2 Add guarded mode behavior when churn threshold is exceeded.
• 2.3 Implement authenticated manual override flow with explicit logging context.

3. Alerting and Operational Signals

• 3.1 Expose policy-state fields in health/admin payloads (allowed, cooldown, blocked).
• 3.2 Add structured audit events for restart decisions and override actions.
• 3.3 Define alert thresholds and wire monitoring-friendly fields for pool/circuit/churn conditions.

4. Validation and Runbook Delivery

• 4.1 Add tests for policy transitions, guarded mode, and override behavior.
• 4.2 Validate single-port continuity during controlled recovery and hot reload paths.
• 4.3 Update README/README.mdj and deployment runbook with verified operational procedures.
