Communication With User (last exchange) + +User asked me to finish Phase 6 with discipline.

Documented: commit `1f408b93` updates the end-of-track report with regression fix section +4.

Open Items (for next session) + +1. **Verify fix resolves user's `test_context_sim_live` failure** — user needs to apply `a4b966c3` to their `manual_slop` repo and re-run. +2. **Investigate subprocess-death issue** — with fix applied, `test_context_sim_live` showed GUI subprocess becoming unreachable (port 8999 refused) ~8s into AI wait. Different failure mode than original. May be: + - Separate Phase 6 bug not yet identified + - Environmental flake of `test_context_sim_live` against live_gui subprocess + - Investigate by: adding stderr instrumentation, checking `_run_event_loop` daemon thread, verifying `_process_event_queue` actually consumes events +3. **Continue other sub-tracks** if user confirms Phase 6 is complete: + - Sub-track 4: `result_migration_gui_2` (migrate `src/gui_2.py` to Result convention) + - Sub-track 5: `result_migration_baseline_cleanup` (close 77 violations in baseline files)
