Each way arming can fail now has its own message.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Failure reasons with distinct text: artifact not found, no subscription token, boot failed, sandbox egress denied, watch cap reached, websocket open error, and remote sessions.\n- Resuming a transcript that started with a watch injects an explicit notice that the watch does not carry into the new session.\n- Startup outcomes are logged as `artifact_watch_startup` with reasons including `fetch_gate` and `arm_error`.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`--watch-artifact is not available in remote sessions.`, `The watch started with claude --watch-artifact earlier in this transcript does not carry into this session`\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
