set_status's first session.prompt call on a freshly-spawned subprocess hung indefinitely. prompt() was sending a stream-json control_request interrupt before the user message and then draining with consume_until_result. On a fresh subprocess with no in-flight turn, claude ignores the control_request and never emits a type=result — the drain blocks forever. The cancel signal + lock hand-off already guarantees the previous holder's iter_events has exited and released the session. There is nothing in-flight to interrupt. Drop the control_request + drain dance entirely; acquire the lock, maybe switch model, send the user message, drain for our turn's result. Unblocks set_status on repos that just started up with no prior turn history (every kennel restart).
