Persisted turns carry no message flags, so the resume path dropped any user block starting with a wake line - including verbatim operator text. turns-to-blocks now marks wake-shaped user turns origin system at persist time, and rowFromHistoryBlock drops only marked blocks. Bare-prefix operator text paints, but an enveloped verbatim-wake operator turn (deliberate paste of the full wake line plus report JSON) still drops on resume: the mark derives from the same content predicate it gates. Narrow trigger, cosmetic consequence (one scrollback row; model history intact). The live path is untouched.

Re-review waive request (residual provenance gap)
Residual: an operator turn carrying a byte-verbatim occupancy wake still drops from the scrollback on resume. The resume mark derives from the same content predicate it gates: persisted turns carry no message flags (
createInboundTurnstores only{role, content, timestamp}), soturns-to-blocksmarks wakes by content and a verbatim operator-typed wake is markedorigin:systemand dropped byhydrateHistoryRows. Provenance exists live (OPERATOR_ORIGINATED_FLAGon operator submits vs empty flags +mailbox:systemon occupancy wakes) but is erased at the persistence boundary; carrying it through would mean rebuilding vendor turn persistence — out of scope for this PR.Trigger (narrow): only a full wake line byte-verbatim (incl. em-dash) plus the JSON payload shape — i.e. a deliberate paste of a wake into the prompt box. A bare wake prefix and all ordinary operator text paint normally.
Consequence (cosmetic): one missing scrollback row on resume; model history is intact.
Locked by test:
history-hydrate.test.ts→ "an enveloped verbatim-wake operator turn drops end to end" asserts the drop through the fullturnsToContentBlocks→hydrateHistoryRowspipeline, so any future claim that verbatim operator text always paints fails loudly. Commit message and code comments now state the actual behavior.Done-when (3) letter: wakes no longer drop by content prefix alone (origin-keyed suppression); benign operator text paints; verbatim-wake operator paste is the documented exception above. Parent/operator decides: merge with this waive, or schedule provenance-persistence work.
