Keep inhibitor state in validated private directories and verify the recorded owner, PID, start time and launch token before signaling. Authenticate the held command before detaching and drop it back to the invoking user.
Serialize launch and cancellation, identify the child before publishing its state, and preserve caller-owned idle choices. Cover cross-account fallback state, process identity, cancellation, retry, and update-lock handling with isolated regressions.
The protected entrypoints revoked the sudo timestamp before installing
their cleanup traps, so a signal or failure during that first sudo -k
exited without the cleanup path. Install the traps first.
The shell restart probed the notification bus name with busctl's
default 25 second timeout, so an unresponsive user bus could stall the
restart by that much per probe. Bound each probe to one second.
