A retrying unpaired client parks one QUIC connection per knock, but the
delegated-approval waiters were keyed on fingerprint alone — one console
Approve resolved ALL of them. Observed live (2026-07-10): an iPad knocked
3x, one Approve admitted three full sessions, three Mutter virtual
monitors were created within ~200us plus an ApplyMonitorsConfig, and
gnome-shell SIGSEGV'd inside meta_monitor_manager_rebuild — dropping the
box to the GDM greeter, unreachable until reboot (GDM auto-login runs
once per boot) while the lingering host spammed "RemoteDesktop ... not
activatable" libei errors.

Four fixes, outermost symptom inward:

- Knock generations (native_pairing): note_pending returns a per-knock
  generation; a re-knock bumps it and wakes the previous waiter, which
  resolves the new PairingDecision::Superseded (connection closes; the
  console list is unchanged). An approval records WHICH generation it
  admitted, so a stale waiter polling only after the pending entry is
  cleared still loses the tie — exactly one admission, no matter the
  interleaving.

- TOPOLOGY_LOCK (vdisplay/mutter): every Mutter monitor mutation
  (pre-snapshot -> RecordVirtual -> ApplyMonitorsConfig, and the
  teardown Stop) is serialized process-wide. Concurrent rebuilds are
  what segfault the shell (second on-glass crash of this class — the
  teardown race is already documented in-file), and serialization also
  keeps wait_virtual_connector's snapshot diff from attributing a
  sibling's connector. Create timeout 20s -> 45s for lock queueing.

- Session-env hygiene (vdisplay): when detection finds NOTHING live,
  clear the previous connect's XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP/WAYLAND_DISPLAY
  retarget. A stale GNOME value kept mutter::is_available() true after
  the crash, routing explicit-backend connects into the dead session
  (create timeouts + libei error loops) instead of the crisp "no live
  graphical session" handshake error.

- Opt-in recovery hook (config + punktfunk1): PUNKTFUNK_RECOVER_SESSION_CMD
  fires (detached via sh -c, debounced to one launch/min) when a client
  connects while no graphical session is live — e.g. `sudo -n systemctl
  restart gdm` re-runs auto-login and the client's retry lands in the
  recovered desktop. The handshake error tells the client to retry.
