A watcher reports along the way with SendMessage and keeps watching; only the end, a failure, the bound or a twice-failed call ends it

On 2026-11-09 four watchers in one session ended at their first five-minute report, leaving waits unwatched while a check, a take-in and an answer were still to come. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NcbgfFSnn24M3GcqttoU7i

+should be moving (say what you last read and when), and at each change the handover asks to hear. Then go on

 You only read: no verb that writes, never ssh, never a shell helper. Report in a few lines, with times in UTC as
 the tools give them; the lead says them to the operator in local time.
