+- **The bootstrap prompt does NOT land today — measured 2026-09-12, fleetd #489.** The first real

+  `Unknown command: /clearFresh`. The pane was never cleared and no context was lost, so the
+  failure is safe, but the roll does nothing. **Until #489 is merged and the daemon redeployed, use
+  the manual path.** The recovery is the same either way: the file is already written, so the
+  operator starts a session and points it at the file. That is why you write the file before you
+  confirm, and never the other way round.
