pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 6aeb304f56 never spell "I don't know whose turn this is" as "the owner"
host caught that resolveMemberRun failed open. Returning undefined means "run as
the server owner" downstream — their binary, their ~/.claude credential, their
HOME, their MCP config carrying OFFICER_AUTH_TOKEN — and three different inputs
produced it: the caller being the owner, resolveHomeDir failing, and a member
whose osUser is null. The last two mean "could not determine", and answering
them with the owner's identity is the single thing this feature exists to
prevent.

23's own comment said the caller must not fall back to the owner. The code did
exactly that. The prose was right.

Now a discriminated TurnIdentity: owner, member, or refuse-with-a-reason. The
call site ends the turn on refuse instead of spawning. The owner's identity is
reachable only by positively establishing isOwner, never by failing to establish
anything else — resolveHomeDir already reported it as a positive fact and the
funnel through undefined was the only thing discarding it.

The null-osUser case is not hypothetical: provisionOsAccount is non-fatal at
every stage and records the account either way, as its own source says. Tonight
provisioning failed three separate ways on a real member and the account
survived each time.

No test yet, and the reason is in COMMS rather than hidden: it needs database
fakes this repo has no pattern for, and inventing one at 01:00 to cover four
branches is how the next defect gets written. The union is exhaustive, so tsgo
catches a missing case — not the same thing, not nothing.
