## The benign-skip path, 16 min earlier in the same log (09:58):
35318:16:07:40.123 [wsl] workspace is healthy (code-server answering); CPU/RAM readout skipped this poll, the in-distro stats read exceeded its 3s cap. Numbers resume when wsl.exe responds.
46802:08:26:35.405 [wsl] workspace is healthy (code-server answering); CPU/RAM readout skipped this poll, the in-distro stats read exceeded its 3s cap. Numbers resume when wsl.exe responds.
48870:09:58:09.261 [wsl] workspace is healthy (code-server answering); CPU/RAM readout skipped this poll, the in-distro stats read exceeded its 3s cap. Numbers resume when wsl.exe responds.

## Wake + update immediately before the flap:
10:13:44.991 [workspace] SSE client disconnected (heartbeat)
10:13:44.993 [wake-heal] backend: round 1: control probe failed
10:13:44.994 [wake-heal] detected: wake detected (user, slept ~15m33s)
10:13:45.061 [main-watchdog] MAIN THREAD BLOCKED for ~939s, the window will look frozen/white; backend + CDP stay alive so only this line says so
10:13:45.063 [wake-heal] detected: heal already running: this wake joins it
10:13:45.092 [workspace] SSE client connected
10:13:45.096 [pushLayoutToProxy] PUT owner=local/workspace bytes=2968
10:13:47.124 [workspace] PUT /current — replacing workspace state
10:13:47.326 [pushLayoutToProxy] PUT result ok=true
10:13:50.062 [main-watchdog] main thread recovered after a stall
10:13:50.127 [ad-supervisor] AB health probe failed (2/3 consecutive) - debouncing, no respawn yet
10:13:54.986 [heartbeat] alive 2840s
10:14:00.484 [wsl] WSL_WEDGED declared: 3 consecutive wsl.exe timeouts (last: workspace_stats probe (3s)). The Windows WSL management plane (wslservice) is not responding; the distro itself may be fine. Suppressing non-essential wsl.exe calls; workspace health falls back to HTTP probes. A Windows restart (or restarting WslService) clears this.
10:14:01.017 [wsl] WSL_WEDGED forensics: 12 wsl.exe processes system-wide
10:14:04.989 [heartbeat] alive 2850s
10:14:05.337 [ad-supervisor] AB health probe failed 3x consecutively - attempting respawn
10:14:07.092 [wake-heal] backend: round 2:
