Two pre-existing test failures on main, both pointing at code that
was hardened recently — not behaviour bugs, test expectations that
fell out of date.
1. tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py::test_worker_complete_rejects_stale_run_id
c002668ff ("fix(kanban): add grace period to detect_crashed_workers")
gates each running task behind a launch-window grace period so
freshly-spawned workers whose PID isn't yet visible on /proc don't
get reclaimed. The test creates a worker_env fixture moments before
asserting reclamation, so the default 30s grace skips the liveness
check and detect_crashed_workers returns []. Fix: set
HERMES_KANBAN_CRASH_GRACE_SECONDS=0 in the test so we get the
immediate-reclaim semantics the assertion expects.
2. tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py::
TestKanbanWaitpidWindowsGuard::test_source_gates_waitpid_loop
ffdc937c1 ("fix(kanban): hoist zombie reaper out of dispatch_once")
reshaped reap_worker_zombies to use an early-return Windows guard
(\`if os.name == "nt": return []\`) instead of an inverted gate
(\`if os.name != "nt":\`). Both correctly keep the waitpid loop off
Windows — the early-return form is stronger because the rest of the
function never runs. Fix: accept either gate pattern in the source
scan.
Both failures reproduce verbatim on \`origin/main\` in a clean env;
neither relates to in-flight work on #33564 (the FD-leak fix). Filing
this as a separate fix-it PR per green-CI-policy so the kanban CI
shard stays green for downstream PRs.
