ReclaimEmbodiment :148 leaves the Brain quarantine

Context

BRAIN_QUARANTINES (buildScripts/util/e2eCiSelection.mjs) holds six entries, all accountable to me. One of them has met its exit, "a diagnosis lands as a fix or a ticket": the fix is #19713, merged via #19715. connectToApp had silently bound the oldest same-name session whenever the page's App Worker id was not readable on the first try.

Evidence, WorkstationReclaimEmbodimentNL :148 on the fixed fixture: first-try passes in all 3 full-tier runs, the two runs of probe #19716 (never merged) and #19719's run 38422728929. Before its quarantine it had needed the retry in 3 consecutive dev runs.

Narrowed 2026-10-13. This ticket first took DockMotionNL's rail reveal out too, because it passed both probe runs. In #19719's run 38422728929, on dev with the fix, it failed both attempts with its quarantine symptom: "the entry witness must have observed the revealed overlay". The two probe passes were intermittent luck; the fixture fix is not its cause, so it stays quarantined.

The Problem

A quarantined spec does not run in the Brain-gated tier, so whatever it covers is unguarded until it is un-quarantined. The entry dates from 2026-10-13, and every receipt flags it stale from 2026-10-20.

The Architectural Reality

Each BRAIN_QUARANTINES entry becomes a test-list line through testListLine, and the full tier skips it. Removing an entry is the whole un-quarantine. The retry bridge (BRAIN_RETRY_BRIDGE, until 2026-10-25) still covers a single intermittent failure, and a spec red on both attempts fails the run.

The Fix

Delete ReclaimEmbodiment :148's entry. The other five stay, each with its own reason:

  • DockMotion's rail reveal: red on both attempts on the fixed fixture.
  • FiveBeat dwell previews: still intermittent.
  • PopOutSparklines: red on both attempts with its own symptom.
  • FilmTour: two entries, a deterministic stop at hop 3.

Acceptance Criteria

  • AC-1: BRAIN_QUARANTINES no longer lists WorkstationReclaimEmbodimentNL :148. The other five entries are unchanged.
  • AC-2: The PR's full Brain-gated run executes it, and it passes.
  • AC-3: Post-merge: in the next dev runs it is never red on both attempts. If it is, it goes back into quarantine with the new symptom.

Out of Scope

  • The diagnoses of DockMotion's rail reveal, FiveBeat dwell previews and PopOutSparklines.
  • FilmTour's two entries.
  • The retry bridge.
