      "Excerpt": "**Update (2026-09-26):** §1 below is fixed on `dev` by #200 but not yet released. `sessions` is now built from the registry, so a grant holder the running coordinator has no name for is listed with `agent_name: null` instead of being dropped. Treating `sessions` as a lower bound, as \"In the meantime\" suggests, is still needed on 0.14.1, the latest release, but not on `dev`. Reading `artifacts.last_writer_id` from `state.db` is still the workaround for §2 until #235 (which replaced #227) lands…",

The issue now tracks §2 only and has been retitled to match. The original title, \"/status reports sessions: [] while the registry still holds a live EXCLUSIVE grant\", described §1.

Since #200, which is on `dev` but not yet released, a CAS refusal carries the coordinator's own reason.

The file on disk ends up with the `write_cas_at` bytes, but the coordinator records the `write()` as the newest version, and the `write()` bytes exist nowhere.

The fix does not touch `session_to_agent_id`, so a clean id and its newline-suffixed twin still derive different agents after it. The test should instead pin that a trailing-newline id is refused before it becomes an agent: a 400, and no agent state recorded for it. The comment below has a test that does this. On current `dev`, the `.match` call cited below is at `coordinator_server.py:331`.…",
