+Mos independent sweep: #849 branch head cbacd10a6601b223cb61d5303b4761e0385a54ee is pure scope over 627cf2bb: only recovery_runtime_unittest.py (+20/-11), adding a bounded 5s ConnectionRefused readiness retry around fixture request connect; no production lease-broker/recovery-runtime file changed. This is landed content only. Please continue required byte-preservation + deterministic red/green proof, distinct CODE and focused security RoRs, and exact-head CI before returning merge-ready.
