Cases

1. started-line-at-write-time fail

atm doctor --json (as fx-at9-alpha --team fx-at9): 'HTTP client could not connect to the configured daemon endpoint\n Recovery: Ensure atm-daemon binary is installed, then restore the single local daemon to a healthy serving state and retry.' No task could be assigned or started because the ATM daemon never became reachable; step could not run.

2. out-of-order-start-reorders-queue fail

Same daemon-unreachable condition as step 1 (atm doctor --json repeated 6x over 30s, identical error each time: 'HTTP client could not connect to the configured daemon endpoint'). Could not assign two tasks or query atm task list --json.

3. unstarted-task-keeps-reminding fail

Same daemon-unreachable condition; atm task assign and atm task events --json cannot be exercised without a reachable daemon endpoint.

4. cleanup fail

No tasks were created in any case (daemon unreachable throughout), so there is nothing to close via atm task close; cleanup cannot be verified as successful.

SMOKE-REPORT-WRITTEN /opt/testbed/results/prompt-AT9.json

The ATM daemon at `/root/.atm` never became reachable (`atm doctor` returned "HTTP client could not connect to the configured daemon endpoint" on every attempt across a 30s poll). Its identity key is root-only (`-rw------- root`), and per this fixture's own documented no-sudo model (`harness/restart-daemon.sh`), daemon start/restart is meant to happen out-of-band via `docker exec` as root by an outer coordinator — the unprivileged fixture agent (`hermes`, uid 10000) cannot start it. All three test cases and cleanup are reported `fail` with the actual `atm doctor` output as evidence; verdict is `fail`.
VERDICT AT9: fail (/opt/testbed/results/prompt-AT9.json)
