`allow_prepared_successor` folded in `CallConfig::diagnostics_any()` — the OR of all five diagnostic flags — so enabling any one of them dropped the pipeline back to depth one. The reason was that a collector's setup wrote runner-global state during preparation, which a prepared successor would have done while its predecessor was still executing against it. hw-native-sys#2163 moved the per-run arming and hw-native-sys#2200 moved the pool construction, the profiling flag and the shape-driven rebuild into `arm_collectors_for_run()`, which runs from the launch arming under the execution claim. So preparation no longer touches collector state, and the broad term comes out of all four places that carried it: the c_api's prepare admission, the L3 scheduler's prepared-lane dispatch, the chip run lane's staging predicate, and ChipWorker's slot admission. One configuration keeps its serialization, under a narrow term rather than the OR. A host-orchestrating bind calls `host_phase_pool_arm`, which opens a clock-correlation session on the *resident* swimlane collector and samples its `HostOrchestrationBegin` anchor into it, and which arms the runner's single host-phase record store. Neither is per-run, and neither can move under the claim the way the pools did: the anchor's meaning is when host orchestration began, and host orchestration is the bind. So a run at chip-swimlane level 4 — or under the `SIMPLER_HBG_HOST_PHASE_RECORDS_ENABLE` opt-in, which arms the same store — neither carries a prepared successor nor is one. `CallConfig::captures_host_orchestration_phases()` names that condition once; `dfx_run_config.h` is the only header that sees both it and `ChipSwimlaneLevel`, so the static_assert tying the two lives there. The opt-in is read through a weak `host_phase_records_enabled()` whose strong definition is in the host_build_graph runtime, matching the existing dep_gen stubs beside it. It is declared with C++ linkage on purpose: giving it C linkage would mangle to a different symbol that the weak definition satisfies unconditionally, so the opt-in would read `false` even where the strong one is linked and nothing would say so. One piece of per-run setup was still riding on `apply_call_config`, which a prepare skips when it overlaps an active predecessor: `set_dep_gen_enabled`, whose only surviving effect is `dep_gen_host_graph_set_enabled`. A host-orchestrating runtime holds the captured graph in thread-local state between orchestration and emit, so an overlapping prepare that never armed it bound with no capture and emitted no deps.json. It is now armed unconditionally from the run's own config, on the thread that is about to bind, by `arm_host_dep_gen_capture` — renamed because setting an enable flag was the half of it that had already become dead: `enable_dep_gen_` was write-only on all four runners and is removed with the setter. The tests that asserted the old serialization are converted, not deleted, and a new arm holds the boundary that remains: - the `concurrent_prepare_stress` diagnostics arm (a2a3 onboard) requires the successor's `bind` to overlap the predecessor's `runner_run` - a fourth arm at chip-swimlane level 4 requires the opposite, and retires when that state becomes per-run - `native_run_lifecycle` runs both diagnostic pairs to completion instead of expecting the successor to be refused, and its two span counters move with the two runs that now launch - `ChipRunLaneTest.DiagnosticSuccessorPreparesLikeAnyOther` requires `NATIVE_PREPARED` and the staged event order - `ProgressSchedulerFixture.DiagnosticSuccessorStagesLikeAnyOther` requires `prepare_only` on the successor's dispatch The scene-test arm's own docstring said to delete it when the fallback retired. Converting it is worth more: the lane declines to stage silently rather than raising, so a run that lost its overlap and a run that kept an overlap it should not have look identical from outside — goldens pass and artifacts land either way. Verified on a2a3 onboard, where the property is real. Restoring the lane's old `diagnostics_any()` term turns exactly one arm red, the diagnostics one. Removing the new level-4 term turns three red — that arm plus two of its siblings, because the arms share a class-scoped worker and an overlapping level-4 bind corrupts it rather than merely flipping a verdict. The whole a2a3 onboard host_build_graph suite is green in the per-PR CI shape; running only the arm that asserts the property is what let the dep_gen arming defect and the lifecycle assertions reach CI. Also green: 12 DFX channel runs over both sim platforms, full sim sweeps (39 and 35 cases), pyut 2242 passed / 7 skipped, and cpput 140/140 from a cleared build dir, which is what caught the two unit tests above. One unrelated intermittent failure was seen during the sweep and is recorded in KNOWN_ISSUES.md: the a5sim `chip_swimlane` suite segfaulted once in six runs inside the L2 native wait. It is not reachable from this change — the gate sits behind `supports_concurrent_native_prepare()`, which sim hardcodes to 0, and the scheduler hunk is on the L3 orchestrator path while the crash is on the L2 `chip_run.wait` path.

The host-phase record store and the clock-correlation provider were one per runner, but their lifetime is one per run: armed during a host-orchestrating bind, read at that run's teardown. A bind is preparation, and a prepared successor prepares while its predecessor is still executing — so the successor's bind reset the store its predecessor had finished and was waiting to publish, and released the provider whose session that predecessor was still running under. Unlike the collector pools, this could not simply move under the execution claim the way hw-native-sys#2163 and hw-native-sys#2200 moved theirs. The records describe the bind, and the `HostOrchestrationBegin` anchor means the instant host orchestration began; deferring either to launch would record something else. hw-native-sys#2201 therefore excluded the affected configurations from pipeline overlap rather than fixing them, which is what this removes. The state is now `std::array<HostPhaseRunState, PTO_PIPELINE_MAX_DEPTH>`, and what reaches the resident swimlane collector is split from what is sampled: - `begin_host_phase_run()` stamps the run's own level and prefix into its slot before its bind, because the runner's members describe whichever run last held the claim - `host_phase_pool_arm()` and `capture_clock_correlation_begin()` write only that slot — no collector writes at all during bind - `publish_host_phase_run_to_collector()` hands the session, the anchors and `set_host_orchestrated` to the collector from the launch arming, under the claim — after the stale-shape `finalize_collectors()`, which resets both, and before the `initialize()` that reads `host_orchestrated_` when it decides whether to size a device orch phase pool The two `HostApiOps` host-phase hooks take a `uint32_t pipeline_slot`, matching the five sibling hooks that already do. No new plumbing was needed to supply it: `HostApi` is already constructed per run and already carries `pipeline_slot_`, and the teardown readers have it on `PreparedExecution`. `HostPhaseRecordStore` deletes copy and move on purpose — `pool_` holds raw pointers into `buffers_` — so the array holds it in place rather than moving it onto `PreparedExecution`. The providers are per slot but the collector's clock-correlation session is not, so the runner records which slot opened it and only that slot may end it. A prepared successor that fails while its predecessor is executing reaches `finish_clock_correlation_session` for its own slot; without the owner check it would end the predecessor's session, costing that run its `DeviceExecutionComplete` anchor and exporting a correlation with no closing edge. With that, the exclusion and everything that supported it goes: the `captures_host_orchestration_phases()` predicate, its four gate sites, the weak `host_phase_records_enabled()` read, and the static_assert pinning the level literal. Any diagnostics configuration now overlaps its predecessor. The scene test's level-4 arm was written for this and flips from requiring `did not overlap` to requiring the overlap. Overlap alone would not have detected a regression, though — collapsing the state back to one store still overlaps, it just loses a run's records — so the arm now also gives each iteration its own output directory and requires every one of them to carry `orchestrator_source: host` in its swimlane artifact. That marker is written only when a run's own host-phase records reached the collector. Verified on a2a3 onboard. The negative control indexes the array at 0 instead of the run's slot: the overlap assertion alone stays green, and the artifact assertion fails with `run 0: its host-orchestration phase records never reached the collector`. The whole a2a3 onboard host_build_graph suite is green in the per-PR CI shape. Also green: 12 DFX channel runs over both sim platforms, full sim sweeps (39 and 35 cases), pyut 2242 passed / 7 skipped, and cpput 140/140 from a cleared build dir.

Summary
allow_prepared_successorfolded inCallConfig::diagnostics_any()— the OR of all five diagnostic flags — so enabling any one of them dropped the pipeline back to depth one. The reason was that a collector's setup wrote runner-global state during preparation, which a prepared successor would have done while its predecessor was still executing against it.#2163 moved the per-run arming and #2200 moved the pool construction, the profiling flag and the shape-driven rebuild into
arm_collectors_for_run(), which runs under the execution claim. So the broad term comes out of all four sites: the c_api's prepare admission, the L3 scheduler's prepared-lane dispatch, the chip run lane's staging predicate, and ChipWorker's slot admission.One configuration keeps its serialization
Not
diagnostics_any()— a narrow term. A host-orchestrating bind callshost_phase_pool_arm, which:HostOrchestrationBeginanchor into it, andNeither is per-run, and — unlike the collector pools — neither can move under the claim: the anchor's meaning is when host orchestration began, and host orchestration is the bind. So a run at chip-swimlane level 4, or under the
SIMPLER_HBG_HOST_PHASE_RECORDS_ENABLEopt-in that arms the same store, neither carries a prepared successor nor is one.CallConfig::captures_host_orchestration_phases()names the condition once.dfx_run_config.his the only header that sees both it andChipSwimlaneLevel, so thestatic_asserttying the two lives there.The opt-in is read through a weak
host_phase_records_enabled()whose strong definition is in the HBG runtime, matching the dep_gen stubs beside it. It is declared with C++ linkage on purpose —extern "C"would mangle to a different symbol that the weak definition satisfies unconditionally, so the opt-in would readfalseeven where the strong one is linked and nothing would say so. Verified withnm:Tin the HBG.so,Win the tmr one.A per-run setup that was riding on the skipped path
apply_call_configis skipped when a prepare overlaps an active predecessor, and it still carriedset_dep_gen_enabled, whose only surviving effect isdep_gen_host_graph_set_enabled. A host-orchestrating runtime holds the captured graph in thread-local state between orchestration and emit, so an overlapping prepare that never armed it bound with no capture and emitted nodeps.json. CI caught this asTestDepGenHostGraphThreadAffinity.Now armed unconditionally from the run's own config, on the thread about to bind, by
arm_host_dep_gen_capture. The rename is not cosmetic: setting an enable flag was the half that had already gone dead —enable_dep_gen_was write-only on all four runners and is removed with the setter.Tests converted, plus one new arm for the boundary that remains

Testing
Two negative controls on a2a3 onboard:

host_build_graphsuite is green in the per-PR CI shape. Running only the arm that asserts the property is what let the dep_gen defect and the lifecycle assertions reach CI; my DFX gate additionally runs HBG swimlane at level 3, which is why the level-4 hazard was invisible to it.Also green: 12 DFX channel runs over both sim platforms; full sim sweeps (39 and 35 cases); pyut 2242 passed / 7 skipped; cpput 140/140 from a cleared build dir.
Follow-up
Making the clock-correlation session and the host-phase record store per-run is what retires the level-4 exclusion. The record store is tractable —
HostApialready carriespipeline_slot_, so the two hooks need only pass it through and the runner indexes by slot. The session is the harder half: the anchor is sampled into the resident collector during bind, so it needs the same capture-then-publish shape the host-phase records already use.One unrelated failure, recorded not waved away
