I made my 3090 single-lane for agent turns, and the first live duel caught my lock file at the wrong path

Automated excerpt

My agent runs several sessions at once against one local model. The gate is a cross-process flock, one lock per backend, keyed on host and port. The primary runtime restores at the top of every turn, so the gate only deflects turns that collide, and the next scheduled turn tries the local model first again.
