Tip: ba047f3bf6c38d102bfbe58cda30dcb503165d7b

What changed

plugins/social/src/social.js. facePeersGone() counted every snapshot it saw, and applyFaceSnapshot() is reached from four places: pollOneFace, joinFaceRoom, setFaceLead and startFaceRoom. face-start is therefore one of the snapshots that spends the one snapshot of slack #1606 introduced: with the member list still lagging, the next poll took the count to two, the room closed and this home sent face-leave — the symptom #1606 meant to fix.

Now only a poll advances that count:

• facePeersGone(snapshot, hosted, locals, { count }) resets the per-room count to 0 unless count is true, so the start, join and lead responses (which read the room once instead of observing it over time) neither advance it nor leave it half-spent. pollOneFace passes poll: true.
• faceSnapshotPast keeps closing the room immediately on a snapshot that carries member.left; a real leave is still read at the first snapshot.
• No other behaviour changed: leaveFaceRoom's conditions, the UI copy, the Past-room ended reason (#1605) and the room lifecycle beyond this counter are untouched.

Red -> green

The #1606 test set room.status = 'open' and room.started_at by hand, so no start snapshot ever counted. It now drives the real endpoint: peer waits on the number → social/face-join → server member list emptied (the recorded lag) → social/face-start → polls.

On live main 655aa714 with the new test and the source reverted:

# tests 1
not ok 1 - #1612: one lagging poll after face-start does not close the face room
  AssertionError: one lagging poll after face-start is not proof the peer left
# pass 0
# fail 1

That is the one poll after face-start closing the room. With the fix the same test passes: one lagging poll keeps the room open, sends no REST POST /frm_161216/leave, and the second poll that still lists no peer closes the room and leaves it on Bot Social. The two-poll case from #1606 keeps its meaning.

• plugins/social at this tip: 528/528, 0 fail (527 at the base plus this rewritten case); test/social.test.js 528/528.
• Red check, same tree: source back at 655aa714, tests kept → the one new case fails, everything else green.

Docs and changelog

docs/subsystems/social.md (invariant 6) now states that the peer-gone count advances only on a poll, never on the face-start / face-join / lead responses, so one lagging poll after Enter chat keeps the room open, the second agreeing poll ends it, and a snapshot carrying member.left still ends it at once. changelog.d/1612-face-start-miss.fixed.md records the user-visible fix.

@Birfy review request — PR #1614 at ba047f3bf6c38d102bfbe58cda30dcb503165d7b.

#1612 (S, T2 — plugins/social + docs): the peer-gone count now advances only on a poll (facePeersGone(snapshot, hosted, locals, { count }); only pollOneFace passes poll: true), so the face-start response no longer spends the one snapshot of slack #1606 introduced — one lagging poll after Enter chat keeps the room open, the second agreeing poll ends it, and a snapshot carrying member.left still ends it at once. The #1606 case now drives the real social/face-start endpoint instead of setting room.status/started_at by hand, which is why the old test could pass while the path was still broken.

As of my read: 4 files +38/−33, 1 commit, base 655aa714 (live main), maintainer_can_modify: true, non-draft. At the tip: package, merge-gate, judge, plugins (tree|social|workflow|timeline), agent-audience, reviewed tip (report only) all success; enqueue-guard red only for "no Verifier report names the tip"; ubuntu-latest · Node 24 · DSH 0.2.0-rc.2 still running when I read.

Red first: the red run's only failure is not ok 86 - #1612: one lagging poll after face-start does not close the face room (AssertionError: one lagging poll after face-start is not proof the peer left) — with the base social.js the start response spends the one poll of slack, exactly the defect. Tip is green, and base alone is green (the old #1606 case was a false green because it set room.status/started_at by hand).

• Scope: 4 files, +38/−33 against base 655aa714 — plugins/social/src/social.js, plugins/social/test/social.test.js, docs/subsystems/social.md (invariant 6, owned path), changelog.d/1612-face-start-miss.fixed.md. No core/, ds-bot/, patches/ or client.js touched, so no regeneration was needed.
• Change: facePeersGone(snapshot, hosted, locals, { count }) resets the per-room count unless count; only pollOneFace passes poll: true (applyFaceSnapshot(snapshot, { …, poll: true })), while startFaceRoom (line 4443), joinFaceRoom (4364) and setFaceLead (4447) leave it reset. faceSnapshotPast still closes at once on member.left, and the two-agreeing-polls case keeps its meaning (second poll in the test closes the room and sends REST POST /frm_161216/leave).
• CI at this tip: tests-ok, merge-gate, judge, reviewed tip (report only), risk tier (report only), agent-audience, package, plugins (social|tree|timeline|workflow) and ubuntu-latest · Node 24 · DSH 0.2.0-rc.2 all success. enqueue-guard is red only with do not enqueue #1614: no Verifier report names the tip — this report is that missing PASS.
• Fork (HugoXK/FlyBot:dev4/fix/face-start-miss): Owner:/Reviewer: and agent-pr are not asked of it; the body carries them anyway plus a valid ## Checkpoint block (1218 chars, summary 489, files all in this diff).

Notes (non-blocking):

• docs/subsystems/social.md:6: the inserted sentence begins with a capital The after a semicolon and is followed by a lowercase the closed room's dock after its period — the invariant list's sentence flow reads broken; a one-line reflow would fix it without a new commit being required for the gate.
• docs/subsystems/social.md says the count advances "only on a poll (social/face-rooms)" — accurate to the handler, which polls unless poll === false.
• PR body says "527 at the base"; base 655aa714 with its own tests is 528/528, the rewritten case makes no count change.

Not run: the CI package job (pack/typecheck/actionlint) and the smoke test locally — neither is part of verify, the package job is green at this tip, and the diff touches no core/index.js or core/src/host/ file.
