Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Managed-runtime recovery needs cross-platform validation and complete profile/task coverage before merge.

| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| apps/backend/internal/agent/hostutility/manager.go | Adds exact-package probe recovery, but the recovery is confined to one probe path and performs destructive cache repair without per-agent operation admission. |
| apps/backend/internal/agentctl/server/utility/acp_executor.go | Safely drains probe stderr before assigning a bounded failure code and keeps raw subprocess diagnostics out of the response. |
| apps/backend/internal/common/npmresolution/matcher.go | Extracts the existing strict npm ETARGET matcher into a neutral cross-tier package. |
| apps/backend/internal/backendapp/main.go | Removes the duplicate host-utility bootstrap and retains a cancellable, joined startup and shutdown lifecycle. |
| apps/web/e2e/tests/settings/host-utility-managed-runtime-recovery.spec.ts | Covers startup recovery, exact cache-tree replacement, sibling preservation, and warning-free profile selection. |
| docs/specs/agents/system-design/managed-npm-runtime-recovery.md | Extends the managed-runtime recovery design to host capability probes and the single-startup lifecycle. |

createAgentProfile, so no selected profile exists during recovery. After the UI selectsPROFILE_NAME, the test only checks the profile model throughgetAgentProfile; it does not submit or verify a task. Create and select the profile before recovery, assert that the selection survives recovery, then submit a task and verify that its session uses the selected profile.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Review follow-up: 27f9d0b documents cache-repair and retry-preparation failures, and the host E2E now creates the persisted profile before the recovery restart. The test intentionally stops before task submission because AC-AGENTS-MANAGED-RUNTIME-RECOVERY-001.8 requires recovered capabilities without a task launch; session launch recovery is covered by the existing lifecycle tests. |

Tip
PR walkthrough: Open the visual walkthrough
Stale npm metadata made valid managed agents appear broken and leaked that transient failure into every profile. Host capability probes now repair the exact execution tree and retry once before publishing status, while startup runs a single probe lifecycle.
