+- Preserved the elevated Windows setup transaction's restart-required result
+  before the signed-in process probes WSL, including when Windows returns an
+  unreliable zero child-process exit code, and kept terminal setup state
+  visible while the tracked parent process closes.
+- Restored resident internet on nested Linux hosts by installing the narrow
+  AppArmor address-family permissions required by `crun`, bypassing
+  netavark's unavailable user-bus DNS scope, and requiring socket creation,
+  public DNS, and TCP egress before a resident computer becomes ready.
+- Made the essential outcome, blocker-resolution, and Skipper-escalation
+  playbooks active in every resident turn so imperative setup requests are
+  executed instead of answered with tutorials, and evidenced machine-wide
+  network failures are escalated directly for repair.
