+# Restart loss reason test correction — #702
+
+The full integration reproduction failed at the restart wire test reason assertion: it required BadServerHalted but correctly received BadSessionIdInvalid. Production already supports that definitive loss reason.
+
+The test now accepts an explicit semantic set: four direct definitive session statuses and two sustained closed-channel statuses. All BadNoCommunication, retained-value, unhealthy-state, frozen-read-stamp, one-notification and explicit reinitialization/recovery assertions remain unchanged. Only test expectation/comments changed; production unchanged. Existing deterministic driver tests independently enforce direct-status ordering/count and the sustained-channel threshold.
+
+Verification: isolated restart1/1, deterministic status routes30/30, full OPC UA integration122/122. Full offline solution: 14,613 passed / 611 skipped / 0 failed, exit0, 61 reported suite summaries. Host integration266 passed /14 skipped; unavailable environment/fixture tests remain skips. Independent review found no important defects; git diff --check passed. Actual prior red run121pass/1fail, detailed console/TRX confirms the exact reason mismatch.
+
+Logs/TRX retained in the Codex thread workspace under work/issue702-*. No Gateway or deployment behavior changed by this test correction. Separate live gates remain open.
