# Completed slices
## DFG-14.1 detached viewer lifecycle correction
### Changed
- Released DocForge 0.8.1 with the existing `graph-browser@5` interface.
- Moved the loopback listener into a detached worker so MCP transport teardown cannot kill an
active viewer.
- Bound the worker to the longer-lived MCP client host plus the existing browser lease and startup
grace.
### Verification
- Added a process-boundary regression test that exits the launching transport process, verifies the
viewer still responds, and then verifies lease expiry.
- Retained the in-process listener tests for token confinement, read-only behavior, stale-index
rejection, and lease renewal.
## DFG-14 durable graph navigation

replace, or add project relationships.
One MCP process owns at most one listener. Repeated invocations reuse it and may replace its
validated snapshot only after a fresh index check. The HTTP worker is non-daemon so standard-input
transaction completion does not strand an open browser. The page renews a 180-second lease every
15 seconds and when it becomes visible; a link never opened receives a 120-second startup grace.
Explicit process termination closes the listener immediately. An abandoned page stops renewing and
the listener closes after the bounded lease. Project-specific integrations receive the same tool
because it operates on the supplied `ProjectService` and `ProjectIndex`, not the generic source
loader.
Each invocation launches the validated snapshot in a detached local worker. The worker is outside
the short-lived MCP transport process, so transport teardown cannot close an active browser. It
tracks the longer-lived MCP client host and closes when that owner process exits. A repeated
invocation in the same MCP process replaces its tracked worker after a fresh index check.
The page renews a 180-second lease every 15 seconds and when it becomes visible; a link never opened
receives a 120-second startup grace. An abandoned page stops renewing and the detached worker closes
after the bounded lease. Explicit service shutdown closes the worker tracked by that service
immediately. Project-specific integrations receive the same tool because the parent validates and
serializes only the supplied `ProjectService` and `ProjectIndex` snapshot; the detached worker does
not discover projects or load canonical sources.
