A crash or power loss mid-append can leave a partial last line. The writer acknowledges an append only after its whole line is synced, so that line was never acknowledged: opening now saves those bytes to journal.jsonl.torn.<time>, truncates to the last newline, and journals journal.tail_repaired (replay and projection ignore it; the GUI shows it; books.digest reports it in journal_repairs). Damage before the last newline is still corruption and still refuses to open. Tested at every byte of the last append. The MCP server now waits up to ten seconds for the writer lock: a restarted server (a client reconnecting) raced the exiting one and died with Locked, which also made mcp_schedules_and_recurring_over_stdio flaky. The test harness now waits for each server to exit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GWVo7x3UHw5kwCUaWxiejX
