 73. **Session timestamps are not monotonic enough for latest-session ordering under tight loops** — **done (verified 2026-04-12):** runtime session timestamps now use a process-local monotonic millisecond source, so back-to-back saves still produce increasing `updated_at_ms` even when the wall clock does not advance. The temporary sleep hack was removed from the resume-latest regression, and fresh workspace verification stayed green with the semantic-recency ordering path from #72. **Original filing below.**
 
 74. **Poisoned test locks cascade into unrelated Rust regressions** — **done (verified 2026-04-12):** test-only env/cwd lock acquisition in `rust/crates/tools/src/lib.rs`, `rust/crates/plugins/src/lib.rs`, `rust/crates/commands/src/lib.rs`, and `rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/main.rs` now recovers poisoned mutexes via `PoisonError::into_inner`, and new regressions lock that behavior so one panic no longer causes later tests to fail just by touching the shared env/cwd locks.

+75. **`claw init` leaves `.clawhip/` runtime artifacts unignored** — **done (verified 2026-04-12):** `rust/crates/rusty-claude-cli/src/init.rs` now treats `.clawhip/` as a first-class local artifact alongside `.claw/` paths, and regression coverage locks both the create and idempotent update paths so `claw init` adds the ignore entry exactly once. The repo `.gitignore` now also ignores `.clawhip/` for immediate dogfood relief, preventing repeated OMX team merge conflicts on `.clawhip/state/prompt-submit.json`.
