The instruction itself

3 sections, as written by the author

$ca-arbiter — restore orchestration

The exit door for $ca-dev. No-op if dev mode is not active.

Flow

Log exit — append to <project-root>/.codearbiter/overrides.log (append-only, >>):

   [ISO-8601 timestamp] | BY: <email> | DEV: exit

Marker — remove <project-root>/.codearbiter/.markers/dev-active.
Resume — re-present the startup state (stage, blocking CONFIRM-NN, in-flight tasks) and

await a slash command. Orchestration, routing, and all gates are back in force.

Hard gate

MUST write the DEV: exit line to overrides.log and remove the dev-active marker before resuming

orchestration — the exit is on the audit trail like the entry. MUST NOT rewrite or truncate

overrides.log — the append-only rule has no dev exception, on entry or exit. If a prior session

ended mid-dev, SessionStart has already appended the synthetic BY: session-cleanup | DEV: exit close

line and cleared the marker (session-start.py, observability-001). In that case MUST NOT write a

second DEV: exit for that orphaned entry — the close is already on the trail.

Session-scoped clearing (#271): SessionStart's synthetic close is now conditional on the marker

plausibly being abandoned rather than owned by a different, still-live session — it will NOT clobber

another concurrently-running session's live /dev marker or write a false DEV: exit for it.

$ca-arbiter remains the ONLY way to cleanly close your OWN /dev session's audit pair; do not

rely on a future SessionStart to do it for you.
