CLEAR #285 at fc5887b147ef313401b37c1047328f90fe1029da (correction over 9d1dcf90). Read: ZombieReap::{Absent,Killed,Recycled} — recycled birth takes non-signalling cleanup + stamp clear + respawn, Unproven/pid-unknown still DECLINE before the de-table loop, real-PTY regression asserts row retired / stamps cleared / unrelated identity survives / fresh spawn succeeds; unit table + KNOWN-HAZARDS 7.51 + ADR-0041 d6 + REQ title all carry the new shape. Matches ruling (a).

Push fix/285-zombie-identity to origin at fc5887b1 (branch push only, no PR — shape (b)). Reply PUSHED with the sha once origin has it.

Gate status: Linux member chain running on gate-w2 (281 now, then 285 fc5887b1, 287, 286, 295 — full unit set each). Windows #286 leg running here; 295/287/285 Windows legs follow sequentially. Do not build on gate-w2 until I say the chain is done.
