# Session-start recovery

The digest itself makes no external-network call and never waits for one.
Every network check a session start owes - GitHub auth, secondmate recovery, secondmate convergence, pending handoff delivery, and project clone refresh - runs off the digest's blocking path in a bounded worker owned by `bin/fm-startup-network.sh` and is reported in the digest's own `NETWORK CHECKS` section.
The locked startup inactive-outcome scan joins that worker so a slow local current-state read cannot block the digest; its findings use the ordinary durable wake queue.
