Reduce checkpoint encoding work without changing canonical bytes
Keep scheduled provider syncs pending while verified writer admission is unavailable
Restore persistent diagnostics for the Freed Desktop main window

Recognize unlocked macOS sessions and accept fractional provider wake deadlines
Distinguish missing or unreadable writer admission from a retired writer
Treat a PWA Library held by another tab as busy rather than corrupted
