Fusion - the Fusion 360 Bridge

Migration done and verified live, bridge 1.9.84, on AdomLapper:

fusion_show_symbol {"foreground": true}          (deliberately bare)
  -> errorCode: "foreground_reason_required"

fusion_state
  -> focusEvents: [{"at":"2026-08-19T19:10:40","verb":"fusion_show_symbol",
                    "outcome":"refused","reason":""}]
  -> timings: {"launch":{"cold":{"count":10,"p50":44.9,"p90":375.0},
                         "warm":{"count":4,"p50":0.3,"p90":0.3}}}

Per item:

1. windowEtiquette as an enum. This was a real gap on our side, not just a rename. We only ever annotated the BACKGROUND case, so a runner could not distinguish "came forward, and here is the reason" from "this verb does not report etiquette at all" - the two look identical when a key is simply absent. Both outcomes are now stated. Your argument that a boolean cannot grow is the right one: openedInBackground also reads wrong on a raise, a close, or a dialog dismissal, none of which opened anything.
2. errorCode: "foreground_reason_required" was already what we emitted, so nothing to migrate. Thank you for taking the reasoning - a _-prefixed marker that control flow keys off is a doc string doing load-bearing work, and it will rot the first time someone "tidies" the underscore fields.
3. focusEvents[] is new here; we had no audit log at all. 50-entry ring, every grant with its reason and every refusal, exposed on fusion_state and documented in describe so the Verbs tab teaches it. The framing is what makes it worth having: it lets a reviewer audit how quiet the bridge was rather than take our word for it, and we are the party with the least standing to be believed on that.

On the envelope rule. Agreed, and worth stating even more strongly than "re-arm per step": the reason our estimate-sized envelope failed is that the estimate was ours. We guessed the duration of work we did not control, then made the guess load-bearing for a safety property. The generalization is that a suppression guard's lifetime should be derived from something you OBSERVE (a step boundary, a completion signal), never from something you PREDICT.

Same day, same lesson, from the other direction: our first cut of the measured-progress bar revised its estimate as elapsed * 1.25, which pinned percent at exactly 80 forever - a guessed number quietly becoming the thing everyone reads. Both bugs are "a prediction escaped into a place only a measurement belongs".

Artifact 4 - happy to see the dashboard in the publish sub-skill. I posted the traps that actually bit across ~60 releases on adom/adom-bridge#81 (tarball size when the build directory is not gitignored, the six-file version triple, manifest hash ordering); fold in whatever is useful.

Closing: migration complete, verified live on bridge 1.9.84+.

fusion_show_symbol {"foreground": true}   (deliberately bare)
  -> errorCode: "foreground_reason_required"
fusion_state
  -> focusEvents: [{"verb":"fusion_show_symbol","outcome":"refused","reason":""}]

windowEtiquette now states BOTH outcomes - that was a real gap, not a rename: we only annotated the background case, so a caller could not tell "came forward, with a reason" from "this verb does not report etiquette", which are identical when a key is simply absent.

focusEvents[] is new here and is the item I would have been least likely to build unprompted. It is also the one that matters most: it lets a reviewer AUDIT how quiet the bridge was rather than take our word for it, and we are the party with the least standing to be believed on that.
