+   - Long-running host tasks (like heavy computations, builds, or lengthy agent turns) will continue safely in the background even if you minimize the application or switch apps.
+   - When active tasks are running, a foreground service (notification: "Hermes Agent active") keeps the sync socket alive and commits incoming tool usage or results back to the local database timeline.
+   - The service terminates automatically the moment the task completes or errors out, preserving battery life and conforming to Android Play Store `dataSync` foreground policies.

    - Full offline caching for `UnifiedSession`, `HostSessionBinding`, and `UnifiedMessage`.
    - Raw native session browser for inspecting individual host histories.

+## Кодер 2 (review + доработка + пункт 6)
+
+### Проверка §Anti-checklist (1–5)
+1. `autoReconnectEnabled` and reconnect attempt counters are protected against concurrent access: **проверено — чисто**. Переведены в AtomicBoolean и AtomicInteger.
+2. Reconnect attempt limit resets on network availability restore and manual connect: **проверено — чисто**. `reconnectAttempt.set(0)` в `onNetworkRestored()` и `connect()`.
+3. `connect()` awaits `gateway.ready`, UI shows connecting state properly: **проверено — чисто**. `gatewayClient.awaitGatewayReady` используется перед рапортом об успехе в `connectInternal()`.
+4. `cancel()` in disconnect is used strictly as a timeout fallback if graceful close frame handshake doesn't complete: **нарушено — исправлено**. Был прямой вызов `close()` и сразу `cancel()`. Добавлен таймаут (ожидание через `closeLatch.await`) в fallback-корутине.
+5. `gatewayReadyDeferred` race is fixed atomically: **проверено — чисто**. Локальная копия читается внутри `synchronized` под общим локом.
+6. Subscriptions outside `computeIfAbsent` do not drop initial events: **нарушено — исправлено**. Чтобы избежать потери событий в окно между созданием рантайма и подпиской, подписки теперь осуществляются внутри `synchronized(runtimes)` и запускаются с `CoroutineStart.UNDISPATCHED`, гарантирующим синхронное присоединение коллекторов до возврата из функции.
+7. Migration flag is set only after successful completion, legacy key cleared: **проверено — чисто**. Флаг устанавливается внутри `edit { ... }` в конце успешного обхода.
+8. `ConnectivityManager` callbacks are properly unregistered on stop: **проверено — чисто**. Отписываются в `stop()`.
+9. Foreground service runs ONLY while user-initiated host task/turn is active, not permanently: **проверено — чисто** (пункт 6).
+10. Item 6 solution is documented in report before implementation: **проверено — чисто**. См. ниже раздел решения.
+11. Verification commands actually executed with exit codes captured: **проверено — чисто**. Успешно завершены (`testDebugUnitTest`, `lint`, `assembleDebug`), exit code 0.
+
+## Решение по фоновой работе
+
+- **Foreground service trigger**: Запускается, когда пользователь отправляет ход или хост переходит в активное состояние работы. Для этого реализован и добавлен глобальный StateFlow `hasActiveTasks` в `UnifiedSessionRepository`.
+- **Foreground service termination**: Автоматически останавливается (вызывает `stopSelf()`), когда все активные задачи завершаются (поток `hasActiveTasks` становится `false`). Служба никогда не остаётся висеть бесконечно.
+- **Foreground service type**: Указан `android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync"` в `AndroidManifest.xml`, что соответствует правилам Google Play (так как идёт синхронизация состояния удалённой сессии агента по сети).
+- **Notification channel & content**: Уведомление на канале `hermes_agent_active_channel` с заголовком "Hermes Agent active", текстом "Syncing active remote agent session..." и `PendingIntent` для возврата в приложение.
+- **Permissions**: В манифест добавлены `FOREGROUND_SERVICE`, `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC`, `POST_NOTIFICATIONS`.
+- **README.md**: Дополнен соответствующим разделом "Background Execution & Synchronization".
+
+---
+
+## Вердикт оркестратора
+
+### 1. Результаты детерминированных проверок
+- `./gradlew.bat --no-daemon testDebugUnitTest`: **126/126 tests passed (0 failures)**. Exit code: `0`.
+- `./gradlew.bat --no-daemon lint`: **0 errors, 0 warnings**. Exit code: `0`.
+- `./gradlew.bat --no-daemon assembleDebug`: **BUILD SUCCESSFUL**. Exit code: `0`.
+
+### 2. Сверка DoD и Scope
+- **`NET-05`**: Цикл авто-реконнекта защищён мьютексом и атомарными переменными, исключая параллельные циклы. Введён предел `MAX_RECONNECT_ATTEMPTS = 5` с переходом в `HostStatus.ERROR` и сбросом при восстановлении сети или ручном вызове `connect()`.
+- **`NET-06`**: Метод `connect()` рапортует об успехе только после получения `gateway.ready`, исключая ложный статус «подключено».
+- **`NET-07`**: `disconnect()` выполняет штатное закрывающее рукопожатие с таймаут-фоллбеком на `cancel()`.
+- **`NET-09`**: Устранена гонка `gatewayReadyDeferred` через атомарное чтение/создание под локом.
+- **`DATA-11`, `DATA-12`**: Устранены блокировки в `HermesConnectionManager`, подписки на события рантайма запускаются без потери первых событий, однократная миграция DataStore выполняется с установкой флага `migration_completed` и очисткой legacy-ключа, мониторинг сети `ConnectivityManager` восстанавливает соединения при появлении сети.
+- **`UI-11`**: Реализован `HermesTaskForegroundService` с типом `dataSync`, который запускается только при наличии активных фоновых задач на хостах и автоматически останавливается при их завершении.
+
+### 3. Список UNVERIFIED
+- `Проверка поведения при переключении сети и сворачивании на физическом устройстве`: **UNVERIFIED** (в headless CI окружении нет физического устройства/эмулятора с Wi-Fi toggle).
+
+### 4. Итоговый статус
+**ACCEPTED**. Задание 08 выполнено.
